There is a lot of off the cuff reactions in the comments, most from non-scientists, who obviously did not read the actual guidelines that are being proposed, which primarily encourage full transparency and contextualization when scientists use group variables, and to avoid over generalization of findings by relying on stereotypes without empirical basis.
What cities are you referring to? Surely not the larger ones like London, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, etc...
Nah, some beancounters/MBAs found they could they could save a tiny amount of money and completely ignored the knock-on effects, tale as old as time. That said Heroku hasn't been relevant in many years now so maybe removing the free tier won't matter. They just have the people who are stuck there or for those who are neck-deep into Salesforce crap and Heroku is the best option. Neither of which sound like a winning strategy long term.

Developer interest has moved on (due to Heroku's mismanagement) and I'd bet the majority of talent has long since left Heroku. It's in a death spiral now.
Your comment seems extremely ignorant. Wanting scientists to have accountability with our tax money seems like a valid ask.

I group astrology with personality tests like Myers-Briggs. They're harmless unless taken authoritatively, and they can provide the benefit of a framework to guide discussion of touchy topics like personality and interpersonal conflict.
I don't have a regular sleep problem as such, I train regularly so am usually pretty tired. Just on the occasion I have too many or interrupted sleep due to kids or whatever, self-control goes out the window.

>I'm betting some very intelligent animals realized humans are very reluctant to cause them direct harm (read: very illegal to hurt an orca) and have decide to have some fun with the humans.

didn't work for that walrus Freya. You just need a few not even very bad just not very good humans, especially if they happen to be government bureaucrats. Hope there is more protection for orcas.
In the 90s before mass internet adoption, it sure felt like it.

We had disagreements, but nothing compared to what we see today.
Okay. Then let's censor science, and put an asterisk next to every published study: "If the results had been different, they would not have been published."

And when someone claims "research shows your prejudice is unfounded", one can justifiably answer with "because the findings have been cherry-picked to support a pre-determined conclusion. So I will trust my gut instinct, because the scientists have admitted their research is subordinate to propaganda."

Though I have a feeling social science will try to be very discreet about what kind of filtering they're doing, and will hope that, when they disseminate findings they like, that we will have forgotten they're self-confessed propagandists first, and scientists second.
> Heroku and was a staple for so many bootcamps

Some would say bootcamps exploited a free service and a nice-to-have became an expectation
Well said, and matches my experience nicely.
Sad. I'm not from computer science background. I have a few small projects on heroku. Guess I will have to somewhere else.
I use millionshort.com for searches that I know will be useless on Google or similar. It lets you remove "top" sites and also e-commerce to the extent it is able to identify them. Though it generally works OK, sometimes it has gotten wonky and gone into a captcha loop.
One person's optimization is another person's attack vector. All it took was realizing that companies who built their model on 'voting' systems didn't have good ways to detect whether that vote was created by a human or not.

s/cannot/choose not to/

Carmack walks his kids to school, occasionally plays video games with them, and that is the extent of his "dad" time, from what I can gather.

Some people don't consider social/family life to be as critically important as others. Not a judgement at all, but there is no such thing as "cannot" get rid of. We all make choices and tradeoffs.
Haha, yeah I bet most people who play games these days have a faster CPU than I do. My machine is eight years old.

With some investment in infra as code we have a similar experience on aws. GitHub actions + terraform targeting ECS on fargate (pay for usage). Push to main build the container, pushes to elastic registry, makes the task/service, configures alba, etc.
10% might be arbitrary but it seems to be a number that people have found to be reasonable for over 2000 years, so it is well tested. If you go too low then less money goes to charity. Too high and people brush it off as unreasonable.

On a side note, Judaism has a 10% min but also a 20% max (but which doesn’t necessarily apply to the very wealthy).
Tangentially related, here's a tool I've wanted (someone else) to build:

There are many variations of how grammars are written, usually variants of Backus–Naur form, and often I find a grammar spec is published using a different variant than what is expected by the parser tool I want to use (e.g., a grammar-based fuzzer).

For example, Python's grammar (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/grammar.html) has custom syntax with a whole PEP (https://peps.python.org/pep-0617/) describing the grammar of the grammar.

It would be nice to have a tool that can at least help with the mechanical transformation between these grammar syntaxes.
Vercel is great. That’s where I’ll be moving everything for now
People are always surprised that we have no television in our household, and our consumption of media is limited to pre-purchased movies on particular occasions (sickness, holidays, etc)

You don't have to engage with everything society tells you you need. You can just... ignore it. In my experience, many people speak highly of freedom, yet don't behave freely themselves.
Yes you can either fully censor yourself or publish it with no regard for how it will be used by others. There are certainly no other options.
True, but maybe 10% of people in the US have a strong foreign accent where as 90% of people who live in a foreign country have a strong foreign accent(to the US ear).
It often depends on whether the speaker considers "white" to be good or bad and whether they like the person they're talking about.
I can’t make any sense out of your equivalency assertion. GC won’t magically reclaim memory that is still referenced; there still comes a point where if you can’t demand-page new memory in, you’re going to fail.

Are you assuming the malloc-based system hasn’t been debugged and has severe memory leaks? Are you assuming a compacting collector will allow space to be reclaimed that free() wouldn’t.
my grandmother had one of these framed in her reading room.
Nowhere in the scientific method does this message fit.
Could you expand on what it means to be culturally open or closed? Like, what's the 'lived experience' in both?
There is a difference here. One was to maintain the power of a theocracy while the other is to protect the lives of individuals. Is it the right course of action? I don’t know but the motivations are definitely not analogous.
That's already happening in the sense that companies are able to offer these discounts for their telematics-using customers by surcharging all their other customers. If you're not using one of these devices, you're already paying for it, even if it's not formally recorded as a fee.
Qatar is a pretty developed country, and has a higher than average female workforce participation. This is not to say it has perfect freedom for anyone. I honestly can't answer your question. These things remain to be seen.
I wonder if this means they will explicitly remove review apps.
Sorry, I’m not proposing a team that not care clone it. I’m hoping that a team that cares very much do so. I agree that UX is the differentiator here.

What I am challenging is the idea that the last 8 years of missed advancement are a requirement. I’m sure there’s necessary under the good improvements; I question if there’s necessary user facing ones. Lots of people (me at least) are very happy with Heroku’s exact current feature set, minus the recent and future stability issues. We just want that to exist forever.
I often drop to YouTube videos about the vehicle (but check a few to make sure they're consistent, there's bad info there, too).
I'm confused about your question.

If I can do everything I want in my city -- exercise, drink, eat, buy groceries, meet up with friends, etc. -- without a car, why wouldn't I be able to live there?

I expect in this situation you'd be able to store your car in a secure garage on the edge of town if you want to own one. Or you could take public transit or bike to rent a car on the edge of town. Or you could take a train to wherever you want to go and use another method of transport once you get there.

Is there some kind of deep intrinsic human need to sit in a car within 1000 feet of your home that I'm not understanding?
Even where I grew up in northern maine, where everyone had two trucks, 10 feet of snow per winter was reliably expected, and everyone runs a farm, very few people would plow their own driveway.

For personal driveways, people had cheap push snow blowers. For the roads, we had big plow trucks and literal construction equipment was used for large roads and parking lots.

Very few people plow, because plowing is harder than snow blowing, more damaging to your lawn and driveway than snowblowing, and just all around less effective. And the few people who do actively plow their own driveway will either start a business to do other people's driveways (a common way for 16 year olds to make money in the winter) or just straight up plow neighbors driveway for free or payment.

Even in this literal heaven for trucks, full of farmers, outdoor activities, mud, and construction, 8 out of 10 trucks were driveway queens.
and this is, if you read the actual guidelines proposed, exactly what they are guarding against: inappropriate overgeneralization.
That's actually what Redi.Health is using under the hood!

Why would you want hand crank windows? Electric windows are a reliable and proven technology.
Starving children don't vote, and parents seeking to maximize their welfare income already vote for the "right" party already, so that would be a waste of political opportunity.
I just tried it. Apparently, unlike heroku free tier, you need to add payment information on fly.io in order to use their free tier.
Goodbye Science, you brought us a long way.
>Politicians and populists pushed out false information, and then squashed anyone that tried to argue against the state as "radical", "harmful" and "against progress and science"

I agree. This was a political problem which the article is actually trying to address.

> It seems to me the problem isn't and never has been science, it is when a single institution, society, or government gets to dictate what "truth" is...

This is not what the article is advocating.

This seems very rational to me, for example:

"Authors should use the terms sex (biological attribute) and gender (shaped by social and cultural circumstances) carefully in order to avoid confusing both terms. "
As another commenter said, if your table have required ID columns, you should specify it in your SELECT.

SELECT x.Id,x.a,y.ID,y.b
FROM x
LEFT JOIN y
on x.a = y.a

The output [Id12345,5,Id6789,NULL] means the column is null.
The output [Id12345,5,NULL,NULL] means the row is empty.

On a side not, I use the SQL below all the time to identify missing rows on the "comparetable".

SELECT #basetable.columnname
FROM #basetable
LEFT OUTER JOIN #comparetable
ON #basetable.columnname1 = #comparetable.columnname1
and #basetable.columnname2 = #comparetable.columnname2
and #basetable.columnname3 = #comparetable.columnname3
WHERE #comparetable.columnname1 is null

I wonder what purpose this particular dark pattern serves?

Edit: Perhaps accounts that authenticate on this page, and that are also taking advantage of free tiers, are being segmented for upsell. It is at least an indicator they are interested enough to read this news.
Demand dynamically adjusts to supply. People have a distance they're willing to commute to work, and this distance is measured in minutes.

People also want to have as low rent/housing costs as possible, so they'll often want to move as far away from the city as possible.

e.g., I'll never move to a place where my commute to work is over 30 minutes.

If you add lanes, travel time decreases, so more people move further away. This increases demand, so that congestion quickly becomes just as bad as it is today.

This means there are never enough lanes. If you reduce the lanes, over the next years people will move closer to the city again, demand will decrease, and the congestion won't be any worse than it is today.

You can never have enough or too many lanes, all you can do is decide whether you want to subsidize people moving further away while making cars required for transportation, or if you do something against this, and reduce the lanes available to cars.

Considering this is a zero-sum game, if you reject replacing lanes with bike lanes, you reject bike lanes pretty much everywhere.
Agreed. It's clear that PostgresPro is profiting from this, and they have not taken a stance on Russia's war in Ukraine (I imagine they couldn't, given how much money they are to make in the now isolated Russian market).

And if I've observed correctly, they've also quietly moved their supposed company headquarters to Gibraltar, and removed any clear mentions of the above cited Russian government contracts from their website.

> Our product, engineering, and security teams are spending an extraordinary amount of effort to manage fraud and abuse of the Heroku free product plans. In order to focus our resources on delivering mission-critical capabilities for customers, we will be phasing out our free plan for Heroku Dynos, free plan for Heroku Postgres, and free plan for Heroku Data for Redis®, as well as deleting inactive accounts.

> Starting October 26, 2022, we will begin deleting inactive accounts and associated storage for accounts that have been inactive for over a year. Starting November 28, 2022, we plan to stop offering free product plans and plan to start shutting down free dynos and data services. We will be sending out a series of email communications to affected users.

In case anybody was wondering in the article where it says free is going away.
Counter point seems to be Slack, which has become better (in my opinion) after the Salesforce Acquisition.

I think the struggle is that Salesforce has never historically offered a platform as a service business that is agnostic to its end goal. I imagine the idea of acquiring Heroku was to make it easy to spin up new Salesforce apps, but I don't know that ever materialized in the way they were hoping.
I was once asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire at work for a personality type test administered by a 3rd party (Taibi Kahler model). We were told the result would be confidential. Then my boss asked to see my report - telling me that all the rest of his team had shared theirs.

I gave him the report. He was surprised when he read it because he didn't think it was like me at all. But then I had answered every question as if he was reading the answers. This kind of situation is entirely predictable unfortunately.

At least in your case he's not pretending it's anonymous.
It also misses anyone else looking to learn.

Self study folks, anyone without a bootcamp connected to a sales team, non traditional schools ... you're out.

I remember changing careers and studying and a lot of sites promised free stuff but if you weren't connected to whomever they worked with / a traditional school you were kinda SOL unless you wanted to go begging on twitter or something like that.

Granted I get they don't want to just be handing out mass quantities of free stuff too / I'm sure people abuse that to no end.
Yes, the scanner is operating as a keyboard HID. I'll look into whether virtual COM could work. Will that still let it type into random webapp pages (how I use it now), or does that tie it rigidly to specific applications? (This question is based on this language from the Realinn manual - "9.2 USB virtual COM mode
In USB virtual COM mode, the scanner needs to work with driver and serial software.Expected final behavior is that even if you open up another page, the scanned information will show up in the window of serial software. Please let us know if you need to set it to USB virtual COMmode，we will send you the driver."

I assume that Virtual COM works with both USB and bluetooth?
Because it beats the hell out of escalation and the specter of nuclear exchange.
10% is just the number used to make EA seem approachable and avoid excessive "guilt tripping" when evangelizing. In that way it was chosen because it has been the socially accepted amount to donate for thousands of years. If you dive deeper into EA you will see that most of the thought leaders suggest far more than 10%, usually 50%, but no one wants to join a community that is guilt tripping you into giving away half your income.

I don’t think Russia even has operable nukes at this point, looking at their general performance. Nukes are a perfect target to, erm, covertly redirect money from; Roland Topor had a story about this. And even if they were operable, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were mechanisms to defend.

I’m more worried about the massive refugee wave from Russia once it really hits the fan.
Some of the weirder EA folks do some of these things but there is no consensus that they’re making the right choices, even within the EA community.

If you want to pick something that pretty much everyone in EA would agree is good, that would be donating to whatever GiveWell recommends. Yes, this uses money to actually accomplish things.
> When my friends do leave the USA, it seems to largely land them at resorts, or guided tours, or other "on rails" tourist experiences that disconnect them from the day-to-day life of people who live in those places.

I share your distaste for resorts and guided tours, but if a person can only get one week off, these are safe options.

For my first real trip, I had to quit my job to get sufficient time off. They would not allow time off even without pay.

Everybody except Intel and Samsung is screwed if TSMC stops making chips.

Apple (and the rest of the mobile industry) would try to move to using Samsung's fabs and Intel would go back to being the undisputed king on desktops, laptops, and servers.

I think TSMC has like 2-3 times the fab capacity that Samsung does right now for modern chips, so there would be a huge chip shortage.

Apple's $200 billion cash pile would come in handy when trying to buy fab capacity from Samsung so they might come out ahead of less cash-rich competitors.

There would be a significant hit to processor performance. Samsung fabbed the recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which has comparable single core performance to the iPhone 7's A10 fusion chip.
I think this is a pretty big assumption that doesn't really consider that not all people prefer densely packed urban environments.

I've visited Europe multiple times and lived in Austria for 7 months. I loved seeing new things that were so different from my midwestern home. Using the train was awesome, the ease of access to get good quality food, walkability etc.

However, returning to Europe in my 30s I don't have that same feeling anymore. Those cities give me anxiety now. There are far too many people in one area. Everyone lives in tiny apartments where they have to be careful about who they disturbed. Almost no one owns houses, much less any land to go with those houses. They're completely reliant on public transportation. There's a massive lack of access to any real nature. Everyone just seems really sheltered and most of them don't appear to have any knowledge outside of urban environments. There's also a very elitist attitude that their way of life is somehow better, even though most of them couldn't survive a day without having easy consumer access to everything.

Further into adulthood now I much prefer to live outside a city with some land and the freedom to do what I want on it. I can take my car into the city and visit whenever I want. However, I get to live outside of it with much better access to nature and imo a mentally healthier environment than a packed city. Large cities just seem packed with consumerism to me. People do nothing but go around and pay for products all day. Pay to eat, pay to have coffee, pay to go to a show. I'll visit and live elsewhere.
