Argh, very bad typo. This should be individual compassion of course.
It's more about the fact that a join can change the shape of the result set. Even if the columns being projected aren't surfaced, the DB still has to process the joins to make sure the result set has the correct shape. For example, a human might know that a join will always be one:one or one:zero-or-one, but the DB has no choice but to make sure. Perhaps using subqueries instead of joins would work, but that gets ugly too.

(Or maybe my knowledge is outdated and the optimizers have gotten way better than they were 3-4 years ago.)
Anyone who's ever read some of the more spicy talk pages knows that Wikipedia is a gigantic fractal turf war masquerading as a snapshot of current day popular thought masquerading as an encyclopedia. I use it on occasion but I think it may be better to preference other sources most of the time, out of prudence.
It's also possible the GP interpreted this to mean "it won't ever be fixed in the compiler because that would be a breaking change for wasm-bindgen", which is a subtly different statement and I think I'd agree with them if that were the case
If you like exploring outer space:

Apollo 11 (2019). A feature-length documentary telling the story of the first people to land on the moon, told entirely without narration, using gloriously high definition archival footage.

If you like that and want more NASA history, I also loved When We Left Earth (2008), which is a six-part series covering the history of NASA's manned spaceflight programs: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and then on to the space shuttle, ISS, etc.

If you like exploring our planet:

The Rescue (2021). The story of the kids soccer team who was trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand for nearly three weeks in 2018 and the huge international effort that ultimately saw them rescued safely by hobbyist cave divers after the Thai navy seals decided it was too dangerous to attempt.
I kind of understand it for restaurant menus. Both "real" restaurant and takeway places need to print actual menus and/or flyers, and it's just easier to create a PDF document and upload it to your website than it is to reformat the document to be useful as web page in many cases if you are not well versed in this. Since PDF readers in browsers got decent, this isn't too much of an issue anymore anyway, IMHO.

Kant is actually towards the top of my list of "stuff I thought was dumb before I read the actual source material but which I now have a lot of respect for." The categorical imperative stuff is a reflection of a really profound value that Kant assigns to human life.

Utilitarianism benefits a lot from having a Cliff notes version that sounds less dumb than the Cliff notes versions of other ethical frameworks, but I don't think that is the right way to evaluate ethics. Besides, philosophy class ethics is really more of an exercise in "let's construct a formal framework that matches our intuitions" rather than "let's make normative judgements about stuff in the real world."
I just looked up tandem 10000lb flat deck trailers, e.g. suitable platform on which to build a tiny home.

They’re about $5000 a pop. Maybe if you steal everything from a construction site, a tiny home could be built for $10K.
No, these are all highly coupled to the underlying data structure. Even stored procedures tend to know a bit too much.

Say I have a table with the following properties:

- It has a column that corresponds to an id

- It has a column that corresponds to a category

- It has a column that corresponds to a value

- It has a column that corresponds to a timestamp

- It has a bunch of other columns

I want to have a general transformation that allows me to:

Select an aggregate min, max over a period of time for a given category along with the other columns linked to min/max.

The stored procedure ends up being a mashup of string concatenation. Meanwhile, it just feels something is missing to make the language expressive enough.
Excess mortality is not a great measurement for this. Not only is there no clear standard for calculating it across the world, but there are also large errors associated with the data it is calculated from.

A lot of models do not take age distribution into account. For example, if you have a "boomer" generation that is transition into a high-risk-of-dying age group, then the projected number of deaths will be low and the deaths high, making it look like you have a lot of excess mortality.

Slightly more complex models that project the number of deaths from a larger timeframe (for example 5 years) minimize this kind of error, but there are still many more factors to take into account.

EuroMOMO is a European standard for calculating excess mortality. They calculate data variance and thresholds where the model would consider deaths outside of statistical error[1].

Across European 28 countries (420 million people) their model shows[2] a considerable amount of excess deaths in 2020, 2021 and 2022. So according to that model, the pandemic is very much still a present danger.

Iraq in Fragments

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiu8cXhjpX4
Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCf-rMTmFRM

In the wake of the invasion of Iraq, this filmmaker went there solo with little more than a prosumer quality dv camera. He filmed his subjects daily life, staying long enough that eventually everyone around him would drop their guard and behave more naturally despite the camera. For the final edit of the film he focused on the experiences of three young men, sunni, shia, and kurd, to paint a larger picture about the multiple directions Iraq is pulled in.

Ask HN: Which Subscription Model?
I am working on a website with recurring payments for subscriptions and am wondering which approach is the best.

I have came up with tree options:

1. fixed 30 days recurring subscription

2. payment is always made on the day of the month that it was initially created (ie 12th march -> 12th april -> 12th may...) with shift when days don't match(ie february with 28 days or 30 vs 31 day months)

3. charged on 1st day of the month with first payment increased by the time left in current month with following rules: 1st week of the month adds 75%, 2nd weeks adds 50%, 3rd week adds 25% of the monthly subscription price and 4th week ads 0(essentially free couple of days until the month ends)

Which one would you prefer or which other option would you suggest?

From my understanding, rust has a little bit of both.
Indeed, you need to consider CAPS early because it requires altitude, in a plane with a problem you are presumably losing altitude, maybe rapidly, so it won't be long before you can't use CAPS. By then you need to have either decided to use it, or picked some other course of action so that you don't need it.

Unlike the rocket ejector seat in a fighter jet, CAPS cannot save you very close to the ground. The ejector seat in a modern fighter is rated for zero/zero ie you could pull the handle from a plane that's just sat on the ground motionless, it would still eject you upward and you'd probably survive. CAPS is intended to be used at two thousand feet AGL (ie above the ground)

This works, but I'd add the following: always keep your eyes open for "dirty work" that you seem to enjoy more than most other people. That represents an opportunity to make disproportionate contributions.

Relatedly, you should prioritize building good working relationships with others who specialize in different, complementary types of "dirty work".
> Mass transportation, which has mostly been neglected in the United States. Let’s make it possible to need a car a lot less often.

That's not the American way of life. Americans love their cars. It's not just a necessity for moving around, but something a lot of people care about personally. Of course, there are pros and cons to that, but there's no reason to assume by default that it's objectively bad.
> Who are you to say that it isn't utility? Just because from your point of view it is useless, doesn't mean anything.

That's why I said, we need to define utility first. To you, all utility means is that someone paid money for it. Then I have a Tower of Pisa to sell to you.

> and this is where i think we disagree - i am assuming a rational actor. I assume that anyone would only pay money if they feel their spent money gives the equivalent utility

Yup, beacause as we all know all people engaged with Bitcoin are rational actors. Fraud is definitely not irrelevant in this argument, but highly relevant. For example, while members of a Ponzi scheme feel that their money are well spent, the real utility of that is?..
Nope - even local admin is generally a non-starter as it can serve as a gateway to further attacks (e.g. install a keylogger, wait for a coworker to need to check email and offer to let them borrow your laptop, run pen test tools from with the network to probe for weaknesses).

It depends on perspective.

"Living like nothing matters" can mean a lot of things.

On the positive side, it could mean overcoming an instinct of fear that prevents you from pursuing your true desires.

That might sound "starry-eyed" to people who are used to taking their wishes seriously and investing in realizing them.

Many people are caught in a negative feedback loop that prevents them from standing up for themselves and taking on hardship, instead wasting their energy on a maze of fear management and "less-bad" life choices.

Living "like nothing matters" represents an actually rational approach compared to this type of living, assuming you are made for it.

But "living like nothing matters" could also mean to go all-in on the hedonic treadmill of pain avoidance and insincerity, not considering future costs (see obesity, addiction etc).
It’s a cool plane but very much does not “fly almost as fast” as traditional jets. It’s super slow and sluggish in that regard and causes headaches for ATC because it can’t fly as fast or climb as fast as other jets. Think everyone cruising down a highway with nice spacing doing 65 MPH and then one person is doing 45 MPH… that’s what ATC has to work around.
In that case, just working to get the on call team the resources it needs to fix the underlying issues sustainably would be a very valuable contribution
Why do content creators need to do this? Particularly if they are experts and live off the trust in their experience. I am very happy if someone publishes something and states there goals an claims, so someone else can verify them independently. If it is not working they would risk reputation.

If a few publisher's really check accessibility against relevant end users and verify that this works it is much better, than any kind of scores that often overlook important usability/accessibility issues.

a11y Checkers are OK like any linter but I think we should not overdo this. That something has a higher score does not translate to better overall a11y.
There is a fairly comprehensive exposition of the standard distance measurement methods—and how they mesh together—in section 1.3 of Weinberg’s Cosmology. There’s something like a dozen of them, with intersecting ranges of applicability, some need others to bootstrap at smaller scales, etc. What you said sounds like too much of a simplification to be of any use when judging how well-founded the whole thing is. (I don’t know how well that reflects the video—an hour reading or writing is perfectly fine, but an hour watching a video I really can’t stand.)

(It’s not like the subject experts don’t realize the dangers of one or two observations or approaches holding up a theory, especially in a field like astronomy where you’re stuck with the experiments nature deigned to perform for you. That’s why the Bullet Cluster is not the knock-out argument for dark matter that it appears to be—it’s a single object, maybe it’s some kind of freak occurrence we can’t really sort out from here.)

Generally speaking, Weinberg’s Cosmology (not to be confused with his GR textbook Gravitation and cosmology from the 70s, the cosmology parts of which are much too old to be useful) is a bit peculiar in a way that might be helpful here: Weinberg is undeniably one of the giants of modern physics, but not in cosmology, astronomy, gravitation, or similar—he’s a high-energy person first and foremost, with connections to other field-theoretic pursuits. So AFAIU writing a cosmology textbook was just his way of learning how the subject developed over the three decades when he wasn’t looking (spoiler alert: a lot).

Thus he tends to pay attention to which pieces of reasoning and evidence hold up the subject to an extent that people immersed in it don’t—including things that a normal astronomer considers elementary knowledge not really part of cosmology proper, like Hertzsprung—Russell (and, to be fair to the astronomer, it really isn’t).

That doesn’t mean that he’ll hold your hand: if you don’t know special relativity, the book’s probably going to be mostly unreadable (Taylor—Wheeler and a bit of Lightman—Press—Price—Teukolsky be with you); if you don’t know enough Riemann geometry to write down a geodesic equation, ditto (try Misner—Thorne—Wheeler maybe? it really is a cursed subject); same for not being able to derive said equation from an action, or not knowing how blackbody radiation works. All of those are proven as well as anything can be, though, and hold up much more than just cosmology.

If this is a 500 year old legacy, I don't think mutability is a criteria. Seems it's more a question of if anyone's going to care enough to host it.
Here's the dumb naive question of the day:

Why didn't "ipv6" simply get implemented as:

"Well, our ipv4 addresses of 4x8bit, well, we'll just switch those to 4x64bit or whatever."

Then it becomes like a gradual y2k migration. Old servers could be addressed by the new ones, and if the old ones didn't want to address the new ones, well, that was their problem. You didn't need new infra, addresses, etc, you simply upgraded the software.

Or, using NAT, the 4x64s would provide some NAT port with an 4x8bit address to respond with. As the internet switched over to 4x64 in the DNS and freed up 4x8bit addresses, they could be dedicated to the translation.

I know the ship sailed long ago, but what am I missing here? Can this still be done with some "IPv8" movement where everyone gets fed up with IPv6 hassle, and also just wrap in ipv6 addresses somehow? Why didn't the original group simply expand the size of the numbers in the address quads?

Yeah the current holders of IPV4 ranges would have gotten large segments of address space, but if there are 4x64bit, that's still several universes of per-atom addressing.

As for India, it's unsurprising a nation with a billion people and on the outside looking in of ip address governance is more gung-ho about ipv6 adoption. Plus, India is probably mostly mobile phones in terms of computing, and ipv6 was the basis of mobile phone internet infrastructure from the ground up.
Yeah it’s usually something like a month and then extending for every additional year you worked there, but I don’t think it ever gets to 6 months. Longest I ever saw was someone getting 3 months of pay.
I watched this and I felt like I kept coming back to it in my head and learning more and more for months afterwards. It was commissioned by the Macedonian government to document the disappearing traditional beekeeping practices in that area. They didn't mean to make a story out of anything. They would just go and film every regular day of Hatidže's life, but an incredible story unfolded anyways.

The user interface can be akward, but you can ask them for the timezone of the event. If it's for a live event in another place, they would ideally put in the local time in the other place and the timezone there.

Or if it's a fixed time, not to be moved by DST changes anywhere, they could specify it in UTC.

It's also a good idea to calculate and save the offset when editing. Then, if the offset changes later, you can notify the user. Hey, this appointment is affected by DST change, when do you want it to be?
Obviously Odin does not use C's memory model. And in instances where LLVM optimizes Odin for UB, it is a bug, and not a feature. Odin explicitly opts out of all optimization passes that depend or leverage UB, but that's a moving target.

For example, as mentioned in the article, Odin does not leverage LLVM's poison value optimizations, which are derived from optimizations exploiting undefined behavior.

Sure, some code is slowed. But can you point to a well known and well used algorithm whose runtime characteristics depend upon exploiting UB? If you code goes fast because it's doing undefined things the compiler strips away, that's a structural bug in the application, in my view.

> Just like COVID helped the mRNA/CRISPR technology evolve and come faster and closer to us, with the potential for many more usages in various diseases, …

I don’t think it’s actually evolved all that much. They just deployed something that wasn’t really tested. I recall learning about theoretical mRNA vaccines back in 2014-2019 (granted they were killing the hosts and stuff). As someone who’s studied bioengineering (university, reading papers and some projects) I’d really like to see 10-15 years of usage before we consider anything with the tech.

I for one home we don’t do the same thing with fusion. There is an amazing amount of risk as technology has expanded, we have to be far more cautious.

> The goal is not "make all communication public". The goal is to get the job done.

Just adding that "get the job done" shouldn't be confused with personal productivity. Many younger/inexperienced devs that are highly motivated go through a phase (some get stuck here) that optimizes their personal productivity above the team's productivity. You end up with pockets of people that share knowledge (or hoard knowledge) with others left behind. You also end up with different subsets of people making different decisions, younger devs clinging to each other for feedback/guidance (yikes), and way more thrash that needed.
