In the 90s any huge site could get away with a table layout that worked well in exactly 1 fixed resolution without custom fonts and you certainly did not need to worry about SSL. Load times were not something to really worry about. People would wait. Most importantly, Google would not punish you for any of that stuff.

But now, you do. At the basic level very little has changed to make any of these things automagically free. For example css has advanced a lot, but you actively have to know and use it to make things work, where as in the 90s you mostly did not have to do anything and nobody (neither search engines nor users) would care.

So I would argue the real world skill floor has risen by a lot, in a mix of increased user expectations and and google expectations. On the other hand there's a wave of (SaaS) tools to flatten it. I am not sure what that nets to.

Why do you think that it won’t be authoritative?
I’ll kindly ask you to stop misrepresenting my remarks. There is nothing humble about them. It’s unqualified outright bragging. I’m extremely proud to have achieved this.

The motivation of my further comment in regards to being average, that is to say, a very ordinary person, is to encourage others that similarly want for any particular athletic gift, who may look at this sort of thing and might like to have a go, but aren’t sure of themselves, and it’s to them I say, you can do it, because I did.

To me it reads like anti-consumerism.

If you only consume and don’t create, your mind gradually loses its capacity for creativity [and you will eventually have to reacquire it, the same way a comatose patient needs to relearn walking].
Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and will veto anything holding it accountable. The Security Council is already lost.

And under the UN Charter, Russia can't be removed. The Soviet Union were expelled from the League of Nations after invading Finland in 1939.

The General Assembly can and should do more. Or the UN system will defacto collapse into irrelevance.
That is weird, or your assumption that this was the single evolutionary pressure whales evolved with is perhaps over simplified.

Doesn't that just mean their layoffs were announced 4 months in advance, to give them time to interview elsewhere?
Huh, weird. I’d have expected any signalling like that to come through the power lines that the solar system is connecting to. Using an internet connection for it seems like adding unnecessary complexity, procedural fragility, and another point of failure—and it’s not like your internet connection is more reliable than your power supply, most have no effective battery backup and go down immediately if they lose power. And not everyone even has a persistent internet connection—living out in rural western Victoria, I use a cell phone for my internet supply (it’s the best non-business service I’ve experienced, actually, though NBN fibre should be better now: clear line of sight to an Optus tower 400m away that serves under a hundred people; the only alternative is satellite—under half the speed, over twice the price, and 600ms latency).

(Mind you, I would still expect this to be completely distinct from anything about voiding a manufacturer’s warranty even if it was a grid-connected system which is probably but not necessarily the case.)

You could say similar of any technology, as they all extend and amputate ourselves in some way. I read the Schopenhauer line as a sentiment against technosolutionism; technology like books are fine in moderation, but they are not replacements for the reality of lived experience.

So he only read 1.5 books of Dostoevsky, and now he telling everyone to read his books.

Ctrl-X to exit is not intuitive. That's used to cut text almost everywhere. Instead, use Ctrl-Q (quit).

It's been 35 years since CUA[1]. Another terminal editor, micro[2], already adopted these conventions—Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-X to cut, Ctrl-V to paste—other terminal editors should as well.

I think the assumption there was that brain size is proportional to the quantity of sensory inputs. sense of touch scales with the body surface which scales with the square of the animal size while body mass scales with the cube of the size.

Other sensory input scales with the complexity of the organ; e.g. for the eye the number of photoreceptors

This is exactly what I’ve been saying. Many migrants don’t even show up to their asylum hearings.. they just use it as a deportation delayer. You’d think 100% of migrants would show up if they were serious but its only like 80%.
The standard task manager is extremely basic - the only reason I use it is to select a process to kill. The resource monitor on the other hand is clunky in behaviour (why are the handles not updated when I select an entry? why the extra step of a checkbox?), often confused (I've had multiple systems with CPU usage not adding up to the total, services missing from the list, etc.), and missing some behaviours (why can't I copy text/data from it?)

The Process Explorer from sysinternals is way better, but I also don't find it intuitive. Most sysintrnals tools seem to be a kitchen sink of awesome tools with no UX. Especially the Process Monitor filter setting dialog is annoying every single time.

"Sorry, not sorry" is exactly a flamewar thing. You're not "speaking truth to power." First, as I pointed out you're factually incorrect. Second, who do you think is reading your HN thread that has power over the governor of Florida? So you're literally speaking lies to the powerless. Sick.

There is no path to clean energy without nuclear. If you don’t have nuclear you are going to burn coal and gas. Germany invested heavily on renewables and is having similar issues. The costs overruns are being eaten by the huge Co-Op Georgia Power, they pay for overruns but the other stakeholders will lose their share.

If you stop building reactors for 30 years it’s going to be an extremely massive undertaking only a government can handle. It will be up to the governments to subsides the costs.

I would understand your frustration if these were layoffs, but the article doesn't indicate that at all. They also aren't immediately being kicked out of their jobs, the work is just going to wind down over the next few months until January.

This article is telling us that Stadia employees were given a 3+ month heads up that their division would close in January. Instead of letting that news leak in a way that Google couldn't control, it decided to make a press release after informing their workers.

That's very humane in my book
Listen. If you support capitalism, you should support transparent wage information, or you implicitly disagree with Hayek's fundamental finding about markets as information processors. The markets can't process information they don't have, which makes our system something which we call capitalism, but which isn't capitalism. Kinda like we call what we should call A catenet THE Internet, despite it not deserving that name because the ARPANET people fucked up and lost a layer.

You can think of the attach operation as creating views in DuckDB with Postgres tables underneath! DuckDB will then query those Postgres rows (using the typical Postgres wire protocol, except in binary mode).

No data is persisted in DuckDB unless you do an insert statement with the result of the Postgres scan. DuckDB does process that data in a columnar fashion once it has been pulled into DuckDB memory though!

Does that help?
At my previous job, we had a whole infrastructure which was IPv6 only (a dozen k8s clusters). Everything worked really well (though I had to make some PRs on projects to make them v6-compatible). However, we still needed a NAT64/DNS64 infrastructure because some external services were still v4-only (docker registry for example).
I don't think big-brains mean much without a sufficiently high-level language.

Indeed, if you don't get into the valley where this can evolve, you're bound to remain not more than an animal.

Of course, with language, comes the problem that people with the consciousness of gnats begin to think much too highly of themselves. Mayhaps, we have made a mistake.
Lisp compilers do this (although the integers are 61 bit, not 64, for fixnums in general values), including compile-time style warnings if generic arithmetic operations cannot be optimized. Declarations can be added at performance hotspots, but in almost all places the performance impact doesn't matter.

The question I'd ask is what you get by picking GCP over the alternatives. It's not cheaper and it's pretty to common to find gaps where instead of using a built-in AWS feature you have to build and maintain something yourself, with very few counterexamples where you get a real win by using GCP. Azure has a similar pitch from a different angle with their integration options for Microsoft shops – GKE is better than AKS but how many places have invested so heavily in that that it outweighs everything else? If you're a large enterprise shop, you probably aren't jumping to take on extra O&M, security/compliance, difficulty hiring staff, limited tool support, etc. work which comes with choosing GCP; if you're very budget-focused, you're probably looking at things like cheaper managed hosting providers than any of them.

Part of why I'd ask that is that both AWS and Azure are profitable. GCP is reported unprofitable and far enough behind that they're vulnerable to dropping to #4. They're definitely not out of it but given the lackluster management quality at Google I would worry about heavily relying on any GCP feature which isn't easily ported to a different provider because that's the kind of situation where companies do things like sell a business unit or put it into revenue extraction mode for their existing customers. I wouldn't expect them to give it the Stadia treatment but I would not be surprised if you started seeing the already slow pace of development stagnate further.
While Lisp had to have some path from then to now, it is interesting to ask how important the mathematical foundations really are. Lisp is really a celebration of the humble function - everything bar nothing is some variant of (function arg arg arg). While the mathematicians were the first people to isolate that it seems quite likely it would have been naturally discovered from the engineering branch of programming when someone started trying to push the bounds of a macro system and realised that all the syntax was getting the way.

I suspect Lisp has incredible longevity because it is nearly impossible to simplify down from functions. The approach also seems to breed a certain level of flexibility that other languages struggle to match - I have seen software that does a better job of editing text than Emacs, but I have not seen software more capable of taking on any challenge. Even Excel doesn't have quite the same level plumbing-exposed openness that can be achieved with a raw stack of functions. But I think alien civilisations would also invent Common Lisp, although they might use square brackets or somesuch.

Kilimanjaro has high prominence so getting there from sea level probably won't be that much trouble as it's only a couple hundred miles from the coast and there are paved roads for the majority of the way. Wildlife and some locals could be an problem but odds are that you would be fine. It really comes down to if you're allowed to stop in at convenience stores along the way for food and beverages instead of carrying all of that with you.
But these people are largely hired and paid for by the government. The government, who has to pay extra if inflation goes up (esp. in Europe). Obviously they have a preference for lower inflation.

(and frankly, to a small extent their argument is valid. If everyone switches from Coca-Cola to Pepsi, even if they do so because it's cheaper, then Coca-Cola has no place anymore in an inflation index. Prices are meant to affect buying behaviour and products must be allowed to replace each other)

It fuckin destroys morale, and despite what everyone says in this thread, despite the high cost of living, an entry level or a step or two up engineer salary at google will mean you pay off your loans and start building cash reserve very very quickly, never mind the stock grants, so you can just quit.

I thought it would be 100%; everyone switched to AD after Novell. What are the 16.6% using is the interesting part?
It’s one less layer, so yes. But going thru a service gives you the opportunity to use caching, cache invalidation, or switch the operation to different kind of data store. So potentially it can be faster sometimes. Also if the database is occasionally burning up from being overworked then survival and reliability are much more important than speed.
