In which case it's dubious whether PWA tech was worth using in the first place. It barely solves a problem for someone casually browsing the web, but if deploying one as a native app means using another framework and bundling an app separately then, well, why bother with any PWA APIs at all?
My current company was pretty good. I knew a cofounder so they sent me an offer.
If you can have one "database" thread and 63 "worker" threads, send messages back and forth, and don't hold open transactions, this would probably work with sqlite. Aka treat sqlite like redis.
Super important....but I prefer my optimization to be more fine-grained. Yes, this is much more complicated, and prone to conflict, but I think it's better for humanity to develop these skills before developing the means to damage things with extreme efficiency (industrial & IT technologies, etc). So we've screwed that up big time, but if you find yourself in a hole, best stop digging.
> We will never again have another private thought, another uninterrupted conversation, eye contact, feeling someones hands as you tell them how much their being means to you.

I disagree. It is just that these now need a conscious decision from us.
My thoughts are still private until I choose to publish them.
My conversations are only interrupted if I allow them to be.
We make eye contact when we decide to.
The intimate moments with my partner are there when we create them.

True, it’s easy to loose that and growing up today, you need someone to show you that it can be done. Which is why I agree that we stand to loose that, but we are not there yet.
Their bottle opener is great, I spent a while looking for a decent one and ended up with it without knowing the wera brand beforehand. I'm not joking when I say I've bough some of their tools because the bottleopener was such good quality.
The joke growing up there was that it was the only town where an undergraduate degree was required to work in food delivery (pizza, this was before apps), because the population was so academically overqualified.

But on the other hand, it also spoke to the number of people who graduated and chose to stay there...

I’ve literally seen this same exact comment many, many times except with different locations. Eastern Mass, New York, Ontario, Britain, and even starting to hear it from suburban areas.

The exact same concepts: cheap grandfathered lease, hoping the landlord doesn’t cancel, can’t afford rent despite making >100k, “luxury apartments”, empty apartments, illegal renting (e.g. AirBnB) and shadiness.
It shouldn't be hard to make a static site generator for a small pile of queries that's very easy to maintain.

You can only anticipate so much up front. You're always going to have to rewrite things after enough growth, so make it easy to add complexity later.
In absolute terms, is it still a small amount? Doubling doesn't mean much if the number was infinitesimal to begin with.
I buy at CarMax because... a) I hate bartering. b) I want to visit a website, look at the cars available, go test drive a few, buy the one I like best. IE. Convenience. My time is worth the few thousand extra I pay that would be spent tracking down private owners, driving around to all of them to test drive, getting a mechanic to check it over, dealing with all those people, etc.

No - I have seen people in this thread compare people in Israel to people outside Israel. But the topic is that “Israel is an apartheid state” - and we can obviously compare the rights of Jews and Arabs within Israel. Here’s an example:

It's not as easy as that. First of all, you might be discriminated against by the HR jockstrap, whereas the people you'd be actually working with wouldn't be suffering from such delusions. You'll likely never hear from HR again after accepting the job.

Second of all, it's not like you "can vote with your feet". If you're being discriminated against, it's not going to be one place. It's endemic - it happens, for better or worse, "everywhere", especially if you have many characteristics which are targeted, like many people do.

Third of all, not having cameras on removes to a large extent the worry that you _have_ been discriminated against, which is a large part of the stress for a person who does get discriminated against with some frequency.
This would explain the beach ball I keep getting several times a day now I guess.

Résumé: https://andrewmoore.dev

Email: andrew@andrewmoore.dev

Hi, I'm Andrew!

Most recently, I co-created and built Bubble, an open-source preview app solution for dynamic front-end applications, by working closely with a distributed team of 4 engineers in the US and UK. You can read our case study here: https://bubble-framework.github.io/case-study.

I'm looking for a back-end role and am hoping to work as part of a collaborative team focused on solving problems and helping each other grow as software engineers.
> The estimated salary for a computer programmer is $62,420 per year in Brazil, IN

Uh, this is almost certainly data for the US city of Brazil, Indiana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil,_Indiana -- not the country of Brazil
Show HN: DocQuery, an OSS tool for analyzing documents with LLMs
That is a function of what is being learned, no?
> The U.S. food supply is awash in cheap calories. And when you're on a tight budget or relying on benefits like SNAP (food stamps), processed foods like chips and soda can set you back less than fresh produce.

How is this even remotely true? Fresh produce is cheap. A 13oz bag of potato chips at Wal-Mart costs more than a 5lb bag of potatoes. An eggplant is $2.50. Dried beans are 8c an ounce. It's hard to take stuff like this seriously when the writer themselves doesn't know what it's like being poor (or even seem to do any grocery shopping)!

These ideas seem pretty lame because because they all assume the only solutions are moralist ones - people are making bad choices and we need them to make better ones.
FWIR, yes. And it didn't work. They had some weird parsing going on to deal with some weird legacy stuff from years earlier, and... it made life more complicated than it needed to be.
I will remember the Dymaxion car. A cross between "the Homer" and an Airstream.
You can tell Twitter (and the other techies) don't care about "security" when they force you to use SMS for 2FA when we all know they're doing that to harvest phone numbers because they're a pretty o.k. way to link identities.
Sure I've being to rural America and I know what you are talking about. But only one in 5 Americans lives in rural communities, vast majority lives in an urban setting. I was just suggesting in my comment that one can use uber to haul groceries.
I'll speak of the things I like about teams

Granted, I've not professionally used slack so I can't say if it's much better.

- Teams integration with outlook is the best. Makes meetings with remote team members really slick.

- Teams video chat (at least for a smaller group of people) is way better than solutions like zoom. It's just super convenient to be able to do a video or voice call with someone to work something out.

- The ability to create small group chats with people on the fly is awesome. When we need a 1 off async convo with the right people it's easy enough to just add them to a chat, name it something useful, and be off.

- Because video chat has a chat, it's pretty easy to do a message where you can write something without interrupting the current conversation. That also doesn't go away as soon as the meeting ends (ala zoom).
This is exactly my point. Part of being an adult in the modern world is being discerning in your media consumption and just a pinch of courage (obviously, specific circumstances might require a lot more).

It's OK to feel nervous if you run into someone unexpected outside, everyone gets that way sometimes. It's how you handle that feeling.
Rich expats too, who are you trying to fool. Can rich expats outbid the average Portuguese? If the answer is yes, then there's not much discussion to have.
I anticipate moving to Los Angeles within the next 12 months and am absolutely dreading the inevitability of needing to buy a car. I haven't needed a car since 2007 since I've lived in a series of major cities with excellent train/bus/subway systems. Every single day, I've said a silent prayer of thanks that I haven't had to pay for gas or insurance / sit in traffic / deal with road rage (mine or that of others) / worry about someone keying my car or stealing my catalytic converter.

Reading the comments here about peoples' experiences at dealerships, I kept thinking "Do I really need to move to LA? Is there any other way I can accomplish my goals?"
I'm glad to see you've had success dealing with private parties. This is absolutely the way I will go when it comes time for me to bite the bullet and buy a car.
People have different value systems, and different beliefs about the role of government. I might not agree with some of those values or beliefs, but it doesn't make one side evil. It's a philosophical difference over how society should work. Humans and societies are much more complex than good and evil. Good and evil, or heroes and villains are for fiction and religious narratives. And the reductive belief in people being good or bad tends to lead to holy wars and radicalization.
> The idea that Twitter would allow anything to be installed is kind of shocking to be honest.

For what it’s worth, AWS has the same somewhat lax policies about installing software on company laptops.

That’s not a diss to AWS security mind you, I’m sure it’s top of the line.
If you can treat sqlite transactions like redis transactions (send the entire transaction up front) it can work.
These articles aren't "cancelling" Fuller, they're just dispelling some of his mythology. Indeed, there may be a modern trend towards disillusionment with self-proclaimed visionaries, but that's not necessarily any worse (or better) than what came before. We can evaluate Fuller's legacy with clear eyes and manage to conclude that, while his energy and enthusiasm was laudable, that idealism alone will not save the world.

(And I say this as someone whose favorite map projection is, by far, the Dymaxion map.)
My anecdata from buying cheap thrift store jeans/Target jeans is I've never had a zipper break on them. Have had the pull break off on my luggage though, for a few bags.
There is also the situation where someone gets a really partial understanding of a certain solution and as a result wonders why the author didn't implement a simpler solution.
Good old moral panic. Wikipedia has a really nice article about them. Specifically talking about another one that's mentioned in this thread, the (perceived) increase in crime.

A relational database without relations is an oxymoron. As folks pointed out, you also have to throw ACID away. So what's left of the original database, SQL-dialect? I bet that gets limited too.

Look, I get it, you have to sell your product. Some folks want semi-infinitely scalable storage, and they don't understand that the only way to achieve it is turning their DB into a key-value store. As a side effect they would have to rewrite their whole application from scratch, but they would only realize it after they get vendor locked in.

You can advertise your solution as MySQL-compatible. And I can claim that it's dishonest.
You would be surprised then. Most SaaS companies can easily shard by customer. All the customer data stays together, relational and all.

Cross-customer queries will be somewhat slower.
As much as i dislike Teams (and other Microsoft products), i have to say that the most recent version of Outlook (on desktop) is actually not bad. I've also heard folks speak highly of outlook web, but i rarely use it. Given the choice, I still prefer Thunderbird personally (on linux). But for many folks - especially lay people who happen to use Windows - i just recommend desktop outlook (and remind them to make sure they keep up with their system updates and MS Defender and other such security updates), and then call it a day.
I think "Be brutally honest about you many assumptions and caveats" at least implies that.

I mean, in an informal setting there's room for an honest person to say "well I did some math and I don't really get it but I think it says...," but I think this article is addressed to software engineers and scientists. Someone representing themself as an engineer or scientists has a professional ethical responsibility to some sort of... I dunno, epistemic honesty, the knowledge of what their expertise covers, and communicating their limitations to laymen.

The person with the A/B test in your example is either a liar because they are misrepresenting what their tool says, or they are a liar because they are misrepresenting their ability to tell you what it says, but either way they are a liar.
BBS's, the pre-cursors to forums had real time notice boards and messaging systems.

The only bad part of it was the fact that nobody had a BBS compatible device in their pocket, but the core functionality of a centralised message board accessible from anywhere in the planet in essentially real-time was definitely at hand.

The major difference is that things these days are quite a bit more usable and we have little devices that are many hundreds of times more powerful than those BBS clients in our pockets.

But there have been so many iterations on the same idea that it's absolutely FALLACIOUS to say that Slack has innovated in anything other than marketing, they are so far from the first and so far from the best that it's sickening that you would defend $12/mo PER USER for a family.

yeah, they're not serious enough, but it's not costing Slack $48/mo to host 4 people, it probably costs $4 (very generously, taking all costs into consideration)
I find the "economics" of reviews to be so weird - it is NOT worth it to me to review something badly, and does a good review from me really help anything?

At most a "I would shop here again" button might be something I'd press.
That is until your app suddenly needs to do something not allowed for PWAs.

> Not having to meddle with and pay 30% to app stores alone is a huge win.

Why would Apple or The Google do that? There's nothing stopping them from charging developers for listing their PWAs on the stores. The only reason I can think of is if they think PWAs are sufficiently nerfed such that they don't need to do code review, which further backs up my original point.

I am way more excited for dbg than I should be. It looks great. PartitionSupervisor's neat, too, ~~~though it only really seems to replace a handful of lines of code. It's probably more advanced than I'm imagining, though~~~ I missed the partition keying. Definitely nice to have a standardized model for this in the standard library.
My <2 year old gets frustrated if we try to help too much brushing teeth or putting his pants on! He also hates it when you try and feed him, he'll fight it until you just set the spoon down and let him feed himself.
I'm not the one making the claim of a coverup. You are, and so the burden of proof is on you.

As to the first point, assuming for the moment that whatever you're quoting is a good source, the easy explanation is that what was disclosed at the time did indeed have the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. That being something that is well studied by intelligence officers, and something that Russia produces quite a lot of.
Solution: Statutory damages for companies who release software with grossly negligent or malicious disregard for best security practices.

This form of civil liability has given us safer cars, home products, machinery, and professional services. Its most often preemptively enforced, not by our court system, but by insurance carriers who insure against the liability.
PoE# next?
>The fact that Mudge couldn't lock things down after Jan 6 or that there wasn't adequate logging etc is also extremely shocking.

Remember when Twitter got real big because of the Arab Spring? Free Speech is good? How is “Twitter” supposed to know what to “lock down” and what to allow for good?
I don't think cow anology is very appropriate. Technology is moving fast (well not as fast nowadays but still pretty fast) and if you don't update your tools your work will be as obsolte as your hardware. If any of your hardware is touching the internet running obsolete stuff is a big security risk. Vivaldi browser ? Notepad? seriously...

Willing to relocate: No. I have chickens.

Résumé: https://github.com/johnnydecimal/resume

You may know me on the internet as Johnny.Decimal [0]. I now live in Canberra and am looking for a role in the data world: think data architect, PM on a data-focussed project, that sort of thing. Alternatively I think I’d run a great PMO: imagine project artefacts liberated from Word documents, given their rightful status as database records. Mmm, nice.

I’d prefer something local and in-person but hey, this is HN. Who knows who’s out there. I’ve just done 7 years contracting with a massive systems integrator and am looking for something different.

>I don't think this is dating app burnout, this is just dating burnout. Dating apps just make it easy to connect with potential matches (relative to not having dating app burnouts). And if you have dating burnout, take a break from dating! It's nice to just be ok with being single sometimes and enjoy other aspects of life.

I was looking for a comment like this before I wrote one of my own! Completely agree! I'm a happily married guy, but used nearly every dating app that existed from 2004-2012. Everyone's talking about how dating apps suck. They were, for me, another way to meet folks during those years and probably how I met most women I dated. They had and still have their highs and lows. Apps don't magically solve dating.

I think the real problem is the tunnel vision. You get sucked down the rabbit hole. Instead, spending time out with friends, exploring hobbies, and joining common-interest clubs are some of the ways that I was able to meet women when I least cared to meet them.

And that's the real magic - I've always had the best relationships grow from the most chance encounters, in-person. Something that blossoms organically somehow. The apps can't really recreate that moment and subsequent sequence of good events.
Adaptable.io has a free tier and includes a database (Postgres or MongoDB).
Until they put some teeth into their “unhappiness”, forgive me for taking it as merely low effort PR noise. For $10k per car (or 30-50k on some models like the F-150 Lightning), a dealer would be willing to incur all kinds of unhappiness. But if those allocations actually start getting cut off, they’ll fall in line real fast. But Ford wouldn’t do that because the average dealer is far more important to them than the average customer.
It's not clear if the shortages will happen with this new release as they did last time. Ethereum mining is going away and not as many people are stuck at home because of Covid. On the other hand, the performance increase looks to be substantial, increasing the demand.
If you only count 'pop music', of course not. But there is more music being made that isn't pop than ever.
> The amount of censorship and methods involved is unlike any other platform.

That seems a funny claim. Would we be at all surprised to find out that facebook sucks in the same ways?
