Also, git had major competition for almost half of that time where it was not clear at all what software people would settle on (or even if they they would actually settle down).

SQL was nearly undisputed its entire life. It quickly killed every previous architecture, and everything that came after it made a point on being compatible.
Personal accountability isn't meant to solve problems. It is meant to prevent them by forcing individuals to put something ahead of their own career advancement. In other words, it aligns incentives in favor of preventing problems rather than in favor of solving them - you can only be the hero who slays a dragon if there is a dragon.

The laws around medical malpractice don't fix it when doctors screw up, but they make it a lot less likely for the screw-ups to happen, since those laws force doctors to adopt reasonable standards of care.

Maybe this is just too prosaic, but I'd like 64-bit unsigned integers in Java. I'd like Unums, which are not integers, especially the low precision variants.

I would imagine they have growth targets which would tell them if the service is on its way to becoming a mega hit. No one can expect a new product to get to that place in just a couple of years, but that is enough time to tell if you are on your way. If not, then it is time to either change strategy or shut it down. Googles decision seems most often to shut it down
>You're describing an "income effect." There's also a "substitution effect." The fundamental idea is that people will change their purchases in response to changing prices. If there's a sale on bread, then you might pick up an extra loaf (substitution effect). But if you were a peasant mainly eating bread, then you might actually purchase less bread and more cheese (income effect).

Maybe you'll substitute cheese for bread, but you're not going to substitute a TV and some extra pairs of jeans for your electricity and gas.
No this was just Parag failing to read the room. You'd think a CEO of his level would appear more strategic when talking directly to a potential private buyer.

Declarative vs Imperative Language.

A huge benefit of SQL is that it's a declarative language (you describe what the output should be); whereas with imperative languages like C/Python/Ruby you have to describe how to generate the output with specific instructions and procedures.
I remember hearing splat as well, in the early '90s among So-Cal BBS nerds. Would be interesting to learn where this usage began.
Hmm, this seems like a mixed bag. Exercise is great, but given your mention of it becoming addictive, it seems like you're replacing one thing with another - there are plenty of people who spend too much time in the gym, or marathon training, etc, to the detriment of relationships and other life responsibilities. People who are "fanatic golfers" often do so at some expense, both emotional and monetary, of their family. Replacing addiction with addiction is still addiction, albeit potentially better for your health.
I have to disagree. Proposing social change and living the change is better than just proposing social change, but (in many cases) the latter is still better than not proposing the change or actively working against it.

When you use "leading by example" as an absolute stick, what happens is that you end up being more lenient to the more corrupt and greedy. These people propose that everybody should just take whatever they can buy with their money, consequences be damned, and they live the exact same life - no hypocrisy at all! (It's just a coincidence that they have so much money and power that they can fuck over the less fortunate, while others can't.)

I have seen it play out many times in my country (Korea), which is hardly unique in that regard. Once in a while a politician would propose, say, an election reform to cut down illegal funding, and others would attack him "Look at the hypocrite! He says he's against illegal funding of elections, but he used more than one tenth of the illegal funding we did!" True story.
>is-there any RISC-V CPU with the C extension which is able to decode 8 instructions?

Sure, there's Ascalon[0], 8-decode 10-issue, by Jim Keller's team at Tenstorrent. It isn't in the market yet, but is bound to be among the first RISC-V chips targeting very high performance.

Note that, at that size (8-decode implies lots of execution units, a relatively large design*), the negligible overhead of C extension is invisible. There's only gains to be had.

C extension decode overhead would only apply in the comically impractical scenario of a core that has neither L1 Cache nor any ROM in the chip. Otherwise, it is a net win.

And such a specialized chip would simply not implement C.

At the end of the day, the definition of Recession doesn't matter.

There are ZERO changes or decision anyone can make (including policy) based on whoever's definition of recession is.

It's really weird that humans come up with these arbitrary definitions that doesn't matter but choose that hill to die on.

Thought experiment: Knowing and feeling all the economic news around you, what decision would you make if (or what decision should policy makers make)

a) we are in some arbitrary definition of Recession?

b) we are not in some arbitrary definition of Recession?

I held the same negative opinion, until about 2018. Then I thought "enough is enough" and started contributing in my area. This in the hope and expectation that other area's will have volunteers working who started out with the same emotion in a somewhat catalysing effect (is that a word?). Now I am quite proud of maintaining shops and bars in my city, at least I think I am the person who updates those the most :)

I 100% agree. I see those placards on the most expensive vehicles (Lamborghini SUV, Porsche 911s, etc). Either the NYC police are very well paid, or they are selling their placards.
I hope that's not the outtake you got from my comment.

The phrase "Trust me, bro" is not meant to indicate the press or any entity is above fact and evidence based reporting.

If this was a story in the New York Times, it would be in the opinion section. There is an expectation in intellectual reporting to have a factual basis to draw a conclusion upon.

I'm annoyed that the blog linked here simply starts off with such a broad, presumptive take citing nothing but the opinions of some stranger on the internet and starts to make such strong conclusions.

I would say the same thing if this was reported in the "Establishment press" or anywhere else. As should anyone reading this.

Being critical of non factual reporting should be encouraged regardless of where the story is published.
Let me restate in relative terms then. SQL is over twice as old as Git. When Git was originally released, SQL had been around for longer than Git has been today. Git has had a pretty good track record, but it's not comparable yet in terms of age or even in terms of mass adoption -- plenty of orgs don't use Git to manage their code.
> but there's no practice round.

Sure there is. The Polish Navy could practice finding the pipeline as much as they want. They could also practice blowing things up underwater as much as they want. Doing both at once isn't much more of a problem.

Also I think the backlash issue is overstated, particularly for America. What would Germany do, rage-quit NATO? Not a chance. Get pissy about it but do nothing? Very likely. Bury the evidence so they don't have to explain it to their public? Also very likely. In this regard, America has much more leeway than Poland.

Is it leaked? I was under the impression this was stuff that came out in discovery for the current lawsuit. Either way, at Muck/Dorsey's level, you have to assume that anything you're just sending as a normal text on a device associated with you is something that may end up public at some point for some reason.

Which isn't to say it is a public statement, but that it's closer to an email you send your coworker on your work email. You assume that someone other than you at least can read this, and that if required, it would be made public.
LOL @ Divorcio
I can see doctors being deceived by the drug company marketing. I mean how are they supposed to know that the huge pharmaceutical company is outright lying to them? But it should be obvious pretty quickly that their patients are getting addicted to these supposedly non-addictive drugs. There was a serious failure of public policy not to pull those drugs once it became clear that they were causing more harm than the drugs they were replacing. One suspects regulatory capture delayed action on this issue. Either that or there was a "well, at least it isn't Heroin" mentality, but maybe that just made the problem worse since doctors would have at least thought twice before prescribing Heroin.

> At what point does a hobby turn into an addition?

Not sure about genuine addiction, but you can have an unhealthy relation with your hobby, e.g. when it becomes a compulsion or when it turns into some sort of broken coping mechanism.

But just as well you might find it fun, fulfilling, or treat it as a learning experience, all without losing your head over it. Also some couples might share a hobby, some might consider participating in said hobby their quality time.
Tried steampipe out to replace my simple python script. It wasn't able to handle our 1k+ accounts and multiple regions, initialization took over 1 hour before I was even able to do a query.

Meanwhile my python script can run any API calls in all our accounts and regions and finish in a few minutes. Maybe 100 lines of python using boto3 and multiprocessing that outputs to json or yaml.
This text thread is basically entirely nonsense. They are speaking in pointlessly vague terms about "big ideas" that aren't new, novel, or interesting.
How does this handle pagination and also how does it behave towards rate limiters? For example, my API (keygen.sh) has a page size limit of 100, and often times there can be hundreds or even thousands of pages for certain resources. How would Steampipe handle `select count(*) from keygen_licenses` while obeying the rate limiter? What if a heavy query is run twice?

Depending on the estimates you believe, Google is only selling 800K to 1.2 Million Pixels a quarter

https://9to5google.com/2022/05/19/pixel-6-us-market-q1-2022/

That’s about the number of phones Apple sells in a couple of days in a down quarter.

Also Google isn’t “selling” Android. It’s giving the operating system away to support advertising. Microsoft sold billions of dollars worth of Windows and DOS licenses over the years. It never had to give them away to get uptake.
My guess is, that it makes sense to get regular reports, e.g. weekly. But you also want to experiment and develop queries. So probably both. Not sure if there is something like a notebook for steampipe.
This is the screenshot I took this morning: https://p.mort.coffee/0Yy.png -- note the sponsored Amazon and Nike. It wasn't like that yesterday. I might not have restarted Firefox in a little while though, so it might be from an update which was released some time in the past week or two.
We could also remove, a process called star lifting, part of the sun's matter to decrease its burning rate, retain its current output, and consequently increase its main sequence lifetime.

I mean, I've written lots of software that's "meaningful" according to your definition, but is still not impactful beyond a limited scope. For instance, I've written code that helps borrowers manage their student loan accounts from a major loan servicer (about ~8 million users). I've written ERP software, help desk ticket management, proposal management software, HR compensation analysis, IoT security, banking account management, and all kinds of other things.

I started learning how computers work back in the 80s/90s because we were poor and I had to hack my computers to work with the games I wanted to play. So I'm running Doom on a POS 386 and have to hack/tweak everything from DOS to the modem init string when playing over TCP/IP. I had started to learn batch scripting and some QBASIC around that time as well. I learned QBASIC because I wanted to create my own "snake" game and eventually my own RPG.

When I was around 10, I went to "bring your kid to work" day for a friend of my dad. He was a programmer who wrote C/C++. He gave me a copy of Borland Visual C++ and a book. I started learning what I could but it was silly console stuff. Eventually the web came out with HTML and Javascript v1 and I started creating my own web pages for myself and for random businesses like my local church and some friends. By the time I was 16 I got a kick-ass job programming and doing IT stuff for the American Military University, coding in Visual Basic, Visual C++, Java, and other random stuff. Skipped college because I got an offer from a major defense contractor making great money for a 18 year old. Now I'm on track to be CTO within a division at a major company (I'm 40 years old).

Given that we're in a thread underneath someone endorsing Bing as a good option, that sounds like a plus.

As... Opposed to Google or Bing? This is your argument?
I’ve been using HTML since the mid 1990s. That is probably the oldest technology that I still use on a regular basis. SQL would be a close second (or maybe third - I probably started learning sql around 2001 and I can’t remember when JavaScript came out. Surely before that.)
Interestingly, in Ethereum smart contract languages (e.g. Solidity and Vyper), having separate types for bit vectors vs integers is common. I don't know why it's caught on there but nowhere else. Obviously those languages have a pretty specialized niche and aren't really going to be used outside of that context.
Causality or correlation? Every central bank at times has to deal with inflation and deflation, increasing or reducing the money supply. Inflation today has a lot of different factors than inflation in various times in the past - huge increases in energy costs (Russian invasion leads to so much more, gas shortages in europe which drives everything else up they make), fertilizer made in good part from petroleum related things gets more exp, food gets more exp, Ukraine doesn't export as much food so there's a shortage of that. Add on covid supply squeeze. You get huge inflationary pressure WITHOUT ANY MONEY SUPPLY CHANGES. I'm kind of tired of people wasting everyone's time arguing about whether the us causes inflation because we aren't on a gold supply anymore, or crypto is the savior or source of our problems, on increases in the money supply. We were stimulating the economy in the us (and in europe too I guess).

imho, the US fed will fail to knock down inflation much because they can't control these external factors, energy prices increased, supply decreased (in part bc Euro stopped buying Russian petro products), food shortage. These are outside their control. I keep reading articles the last few days saying we are close to a deflationary spiral on prices, going completely the other way. Who knows who is right. But I am right that there are these external factors causing inflation.

This is very important to not forget. We might also note, though, that that same indemnification exists in a context where e.g. the postal service is under no obligation to keep people from sending things in code to each other, even if police would prefer all communications to be in cleartext.
Debugging is hard regardless of the concurrency model but building an understanding of what the code is supposed to be doing is way easier when the code reads sequentially versus async.

As far as debugging changing the scheduling of the program, it's not so bad when the tooling evolves out of the concurrency model, which I imagine will happen once virtual threads catch on in java. For example, in erlang, you can trace processes on a running system by pid, and basically get a sequence diagram of execution with messages between processes and function calls within a process, as well as the actual terms themselves. Because execution doesn't pause, you can even do it in production (if you're careful...). So while it's not a traditional debugger, in the "pause execution here" sense, it's still a way to inspect the system that fits well into an actor model. If such a thing doesn't exist in java already, I'm sure it will soon.
This is a pretty dismissive take. The city could easily designate unloading zones in lieu of a parking space or town in the middle of most blocks. Don’t forget, bike lanes are also used for deliveries.

It seems very cool to get logmine style log line templating built right in. I've found its very helpful to run logs through it, and having a log system that can do this at ingest time for quicker querying seems like it'd have amazing log digging workflow benefits.

Whenever I see something like this I remember the batch script I helped someone write that I later learned assisted in his suicide.

I guess it was meaningful software, but he would have done it anyway.

Anyway, I learned BASIC from reading books & magazines. Went on to write a lot of shell scripts, FORTRAN and BASIC programs in college. Started learning C around graduation and continued onward...
Raising rates kills relatively inefficient, unproductive jobs, as it's harder to get a loan. So a business needs to be more profitable to survive in a higher-rate environment, to pay down the interest.

Now when the economy is in a crisis, sometimes you want those inefficient, unproductive jobs just to throw anything at the wall and see what sticks to stimulate the economy. That's when you lower rates.

The issue is we've lowered rates to near zero and held them there for so long the economy has gotten addicted to them, so now when the next crisis comes we have nowhere to go. If you think the working man will suffer from raising interest rates now, I think you'd be horrified by the experiment where we keep rates at zero and then a legit crisis comes along, and there's just nothing the fed can do but let market forces play out. That's one way to get great depression part II.

Plus super low rates has other knock on effects. Savings accounts become essentially worthless in the face of even mild inflation, so people speculate/gamble more in the markets. Also the super low interest rates exacerbated the housing shortage by making it profitable, for the first time in history, for financial firms to invest in single family homes en-masse.

I'd say trimming the unproductive jobs from the economy now, and the subsequent relatively mild unemployment it will produce, is the lesser of two evils choice. Interest rates are an incredibly blunt instrument, raise or lower someone always gets hurt.
I feel my abilities as a developer really took off when I took the time to really learn SQL and take advantage of the features that my database offers. For example, learning to use window functions felt like that galaxy brain meme where you become one with the universe.

Being able to take 50 lines of ruby code (manual (anti-)joins and aggregates, result partitioning, etc...) and replace it with a couple lines of sql that is much faster and less buggy is a life changing experience.

The only other time I had such a dramatic shift in the way that I look at building applications is when I learned Scala (functional programming).
