Not sure how this can possibly be legal in the framework of GDPR. I'm not a lawyer of course, but treating data is tied to a purpose, and treating it for some other purpose requires new consent. (IANAL of course)

So if someone comes in and runs the same community, that's one thing. It at least kind of still does the same thing.

Harvesting the user data and then offering speed dating stuff that's completely unrelated, as one comment here describes, that's just grabbing "random" data off the webs and starting spamming; no relation to the previous purpose of data treatment. And meetup making a profit off of that... I mean, again, I'm not a lawyer, but that's certainly against the spirit of the law.
> You don't think it's weird that most of the largest, most successful websites have mountains of tooling and frameworks to help them remain performant and reliable?

I don't fully agree with the person you're responding too, but it feels like you're making their point for them with this. Users are engaging with a tool or some content for themselves and today. Startups are the ones dreaming of standing among the "largest, most successful websites" someday.

Users don't care how efficient or inefficient your development process is, or how much technical debt you carry, or how many concurrent users or requests you can run, or how scalable you are if things go well. If your service stands up and works for them today, none of those things are relevant to them at all.

That's not to say that the startups concerns aren't critical to making sure that the service is still capable tomorrow and the day after, and that the company doesn't collapse under bad process and inefficiencies, and that the service maintains utility rather than becoming data and stale. They're valid concerns.

But the users are so far removed from those concerns that it can be legitimately frustrating when pursuit of those long-term concerns degrades their immediate experience.
I have not been following PWAs that closely but I do recall when Zoom starting using them for ChromeOS last year -- horrible stuff.
I am sorry to see you are being auto downvoted but yeah discussion of this is always heavily squashed here and on Reddit. It seems like a hopeless situation but I am happy to see that the younger generation has differing views with their Boomer parents. Maybe something will come of that. Thanks for the documentary, I'll check it out and promote it as much as I can.
SQLite is significantly better at OLTP and being a blob strorage than DuckDB, and it doesn't want to sacrifice those advantages and compatibility if OLAP performance can be improved independently. In my experience for diverse workloads it is more practical to start with a row-based structure and incrementally transform it into a column-based one. Indeed in the paper there is a suggested approach that trades space for improved OLAP performance.
Looks to me like a run-of-the-mill multipurpose screwdriver, with a perfectly ordinary development effort behind.

I don't think this would break if you drop it from a person's height, but it may break if you drop from the 2nd floor. Just like any similar one.

I guess the lesson here is that you don't want a multipurpose screwdriver if you will work on the top of a ladder. It will just bring you extra problems. (Although I do use mine a lot that way, usually because it's already around. It does bring extra problems.)
Similar in Vancouver. If you've been renting for 7+ years, you won't move even if the place doesn't fit you anymore. You would be paying close to double.
And in 1950 Japanese and German industry had really not recovered from WW II.
I don't think discussing the limiting principal behind your stance is waxing philosophical. We live in a liberal society that generally upholds free speech, that society is made up of institutions, corporations, and individuals; arguable, CF is more important because of how information is currently distributed than even the ACLU or public defenders but I'll bite and put the philosophy aside.

Here is a more direct question: why is it a good idea for a company to exercise censorial power if the content is not otherwise illegal? Reminder that we are talking about companies that run infrastructure not something like Twitter that hide behind BS "community guidelines"
You're blaming your straw man for "nearsightedness and expediency", yet it took you 0 rational arguments to come to a conclusion about the correct outcome.

I also have no idea where you come up with this taboo against skepticism. Read the comments on any HN article about a new technology and you'll find skeptics front and center. It's certainly alive and well in engineering.

I agree with you that natural systems are more complex than we can accurately model. We should work on those models.

I work in research, and collaborate with two main teams. One does environmental monitoring and modelling. The other works in extraction (mining) and chemical processing. Guess which one of those collaborations covers my salary? I love working with the environmental team but if that was the only income I'd have to leave a long time ago. If you want engineers to slow down and smell the roses, you'll find most would love to. You'd better have a way to support them though, because if they can't pay for their house while doing it you won't have many takers.
Is that expensive because it’s a way to support the channel or is it a really nice backpack?

Boring redpill ideology stuff.
I've watched crypto for years with interest, I've worked in the field, speculated in it with my savings, used it for international transfers, spent it, etc. That is to say I'm not some armchair critic.

I find myself lately viewing crypto as mostly a bad idea, or a bad implementation of an idea with potential, or even outright as a Ponzi scheme.

These smart contacts are really a bad idea. We have contracts in life with lawyers, these tend to work out pretty well because we can use our human intelligence to arbitrate them. The idea of code as law is really dumb. I say that as a programmer who works on code all day. Computers are dumb like your calculator. They do exactly what you tell them to. Which sounds great until you realize how hard it is to describe what you want in a way the computer can understand. That's why I make a good salary and people think my job is difficult. The reality is computers often do what you tell them, but it's not what you wanted. Rather you have the instructions wrong or you made a mistake. That's why software is riddled with bugs. Avoiding that is very, very, very difficult. Nobody gets it right. These crypto finance bros will definately not get it right. And when they get it wrong, there's no human, no court to appeal to. How's that an improvement?
What countries aren't struggling with this sort of dynamic?

I almost think that the US is doing pretty well with this in the sense that you can still move somewhere that's cheap relative to your salary, but that only holds true if you're able to do it with remote work. So, maybe it's not true at all.

Indeed. I was an elected official for a hyperlocal committee years ago. There was a specific hoop that our committee required people to do, but when I looked into it I found that none of the other dozens of committees had it, and it required people to waste time doing things the city was already doing. Keep in mind that our boundaries would change every year, so whether or not a block of houses had to comply with our regulation depended on if they happened to fall into our jurisdiction that year.

When I suggested to the chair that we shouldn't do this anymore, his response was simply "but that's what we've always done." The older people on the committee, who had been there for decades, often engaged in antisocial behavior (lying, calling other committee members in the middle of the night to complain about things) including purposefully wasting time (trying to get committee members to go to trainings for tech we didn't use, stretching out committee meetings with things that were supposed to be handled before even after repeated warnings).

I think of this experience whenever someone invokes Chesterton's fence, and have to wonder how much experience people have with some of these organizations.

Imagine how much time we would waste if we applied it to ideology - you can't dismiss any weird conspiracy theory (and many conspiracy theorists have a _lot_ of information they'll throw at you) or ramblings of schizophrenics on the street until you have a sound understanding of their theories. Most people would think that's a terrible way to go about life, one where you either waste all your time with the most unhinged elements of society or accept their beliefs as holding as much weight as anyone else's. What people often fail to realize is that unhinged people also exist in bureaucracies, and deciding that you'll let all of their actions remain until you fully understand them is a terrible approach. So bad, I'd argue it's a dereliction of duty, surrendering regulations to the most inscrutable nutcases (you won't ever be ever to understand them, so in theory you would have to let all their actions remain).

This doesn't mean mindlessly get rid of all regulations, but you need to take a measured approach that deals with the world as it exists, and not pretend we live in an imaginary utopia where every action has a well reasoned and easily identifiable justification.

"For example your parents can know everything about you and still fully respect your privacy."

This was raised in a flagged comment, so I still felt it was worth highlighting. I don't find analogies work well for technical decisions. I usually prefer that a company tell me what is and is not private and anonymous so that I can made a decision on if I should use an application and on how I will use it. There is no need to justify the decision you made and in some respects lecture us on why the decision was justified. Just be transparent about what is and is not and that's enough.

Hey there. I have 9 years of experience front to back (JS -> Elixir) shipping internal and client facing web apps. In devops, I have deployed and maintained complex systems on five continents (so far), in highly regulated environments and for high profile clients. I am looking for part time / contractual work only.

I am currently completing an MA in Social Justice, so I'll screen for projects that do not burn the planet down or make people's lives miserable. Thanks :)

Reactors could not be built in time, and nuclear reactors can not be built at sufficient scale to solve the problem.

The only way to survive is massive wind, solar, storage, and transmission.

France could have led the way, but when they started building Flamanville last decade, they discovered that they nuclear doesn't really fit modern economies that well.

And with half their reactors offline for extended repairs right now, France has been a big part of Europe's energy crunch.

Macron has only proposed up to 14 new reactors, and there's no way they will come online before 2040.

Nuclear is a solution from the past, we need to build for the future.
If you're only interested in talking to the person if they're a potential partner, you're going to have a lot of failures (unless it's something like a speed dating course).

You work on getting to know people as friends, some of whom you may consider dating.
You get paid for graduate school. Not much, but still get something.
Brown University, Center for Computation and Visualization | Research Software Engineer | Data Scientist | Providence, RI | Full-time | On-site & Hybrid | https://ccv.brown.edu

The Brown University Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) is a research computing center with a team of data scientists, research software engineers, system administrators, and other technologists. We partner with researchers across the Brown University community, as well as the associated hospital partners. We work on problems that span a huge continuum of subject matter areas. We currently have several long-running collaborations with researchers across many disciplines (e.g., neuroscience, computational biology, computer vision, psychiatry, sociology, engineering, environmental science, public health).

Our data scientists and research software engineers partner with researchers to solve hugely diverse problems. The nature of our work varies considerably depending on the projects, but we consistently have research projects that involve machine learning, web app development, mobile apps, high-performance computing (HPC), genomics data, VR/AR.

Our general tech stack includes: Python, R, Julia, Rust, Node, Vue, React, MySQL, Postgres, Docker, and GCP. In addition, on the HPC side of the house we add to that: C, C++, Fortran, and CUDA.

We have a few roles open now, and plan to have more in the coming months. We especially encourage folks from historically under-represented groups to apply. The postings are listed at the link below. Check us out; we'd love to hear from you!!

A nude beach self-selects for people who think that public nudity is not a big deal. You are choosing to be nude around a bunch of people who probably won't care. If only they know about your nudity, no negative consequence is likely to befall you.

Outside of your time at a nude beach, you deal with all sorts of people who may think it is a big deal and judge you for that. It may be in your interest to keep such people out of the know of your time at the nude beach. Think neighbors, employers, other parents in your PTA.
1.7^3= 4.913. So even if 1.7x large just means radius, if it has 5x the mass that would still make it MORE dense than earth right?
I pay for Kagi on principle. I’ll just come out and say it though: Kagi is missing 30% of the internet, at least. It may just be that Kagi is in the landing phase of “land and expand”, but I do think that long term, and generally, search engines need to be indiscriminate. Sure, interpreting queries and providing flavored results is fine especially when I’m paying so I know the flavor is in my interest, but excluding entire categories of content is not.
Yes, data is useless without a qualitative explanation. There are simply too many possible confounding factors that you cannot eliminate without understanding what they may be.
Many musicians and artists I know were always close to poverty as supporting yourself with art is not easy. So many have menial jobs to pay the bills while their free times is working in their art. If they cant afford to live in fancy areas the bohemian scenes cant flourish.

Living in NYC I watched the death of the Williamsburg bohemian scene in the 00's. The neighborhood was still rough with crummy buildings, warehouses and drug dealers roaming about and other sketchy shit. Small bars/venues/clubs dotted the area and the myriad of commercial buildings rented large spaces for cheap which people turned into art communes. I had a bunch of friends in that scene and it was amazing to walk into a drab looking brick warehouse and into a world of art and music. I remember going to a show which featured performers from side show acts who were musicians which spilled into the street becoming an impromptu late night street circus complete with acrobatics and fire breathing.

Then everyone just HAD to live in WB and the cheap commercial buildings were razed and replaced with giant crappy over priced apartments ($2500 for a 1br back then was insane). Within a few years all the interesting artists left, many heading to Portland which suffered the same fate. Now its all faux luxury apartment buildings and Instagram spaces. Burn it all down.
Because Apple is only really committed to fostering it on it's platforms. Sure, there's Swift for other platforms, but using them, it seems like only a tier 2 platform at best, in order to check some boxes ("Look! It's multiplatform!")
Hmm, something is wrong with their wording then.

> The way we measure this is through auto-update “pings” to our updates server.

> This measures only users who have enabled auto-updates

> auto-updates are disabled by default

This seems to say that they won't do auto-update checks by default. But I guess they are doing auto-update checks but not tracking the checks, just a "ping" (whatever that means if it isn't an update check).
The half-height bits also make it very hard to curate the selection for your specific use cases without buying directly from LTT.

> But… the interior of the country is still facing depopulation, and property prices and rents here are still low.

Some people just don't think very highly of "flyover country". The culture is not what they're used to. Return to the land makes a whole lot of sense though, now that the basic infrastructure for hybrid remote working is pretty much ubiquitous (courtesy of COVID).
Growing up in the 1980s I remember becoming mildly obsessed with zippers (or "zips" as we called them) at one point.

I remember going around the house and noticing that it was strange that almost all of them, no matter what type of clothing it was, how old it was, or what size of zip it was, said YKK on them. Now days I guess they're more of a premium brand, but back then they seemed to totally dominate the market at all levels.

(just checked the zip on my Lululemon trousers, and yes, it's YKK!)
No, but iirc he is pretty open out add or adhd (I forget which). It seems well managed.
This is the most important question. Are you piggybacking off of existing search providers, or is this a search engine from the ground up?
If you don’t renew a domain name, the person who buys it after you doesn’t get access to all the emails you’ve sent + a copy of your website. They just get the name and have to start from scratch.

(Which is how it should be on meetup — clear all of the group content, members, etc and let somebody start over with just the name)

That's one of the things that always bothered me about cost of living arguments it always seems to be it's to expensive to live anywhere (inside of these several highly desirable locations that I want to live exclusively and are very expensive.) There are plenty of places to live and plenty of housing, just not where people want to be.
Is there something like Stable Diffusion for text only?

Engineer. Employee #7. Maybe as an addendum to my above comments, my startup is fairly open about all of our operations. Other than peoples salaries, pretty much everything about the company is discussed at our all hands. Additionally I just like to ask people what they are working on. It is a good conversation starter.

Maybe another lesson here, is if you are running a startup, consider oversharing with your employees. A fair number of them may be there because they are trying to figure out if the next step for them is founding a company. And oversharing is a good way to keep them engaged. I have been at my current startup for 6-7 years, and would definitely not have stuck around this long had I not felt like I was learning much.
That demo literally shows a brief "Loading..." screen for the first open issue, which was pretty much my point.

I'm not sure what other desktop apps you use but for something as simple as viewing a single database record I've not seen loading screens since about 2000 on any native apps.
This is a deeply stupid analogy, because as everyone is pointing out .. why would you do that? Why would you choose to build a system in which this is a risk, when it's not actually imposed by the laws of nature?

But there were a few instances in WW2 where large amounts of value had to be transferred by boat, and in at least one case sunk by enemy action. HMS Edinburgh: https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/hms-edinbu...
That's irrelevant. Even if a company did punish an employee for protesting a contract with Israel, that wouldn't legally be considered "retaliation" under US federal law. The timing doesn't matter.
The fact that you have to use scare quotes makes it clear that the answer is no. So I'm not sure what your point is.
