Obviously I don't know your specific case, but I can offer a few ideas:

> trying to revolutionize

There are a lot of aspirational companies out there. I'd rather work at an aspirational company than one with no vision at all, but you still need to convince me that there's an actual chance you can deliver on this vision. If you told me you were going to revolutionize the world's energy sector with a perpetual motion machine, I'm obviously passing. Treat me like an investor -- convince me your company has a future. Because, of course, I am an investor; I'm considering investing a large percentage of my professional life in your company.

> nuclear power deployment performance

Nuclear power is interesting but highly regulated. If I come up with new and interesting ideas that contribute to this space, is it too tightly constrained by regulation to have any chance those ideas could get applied? Will I be in a position where anyone will actually listen to my ideas, or have you already made up your mind about how everything is going to work? Am I going to get to talk about the product development, or is this going to be handed down to me with people taking offense if I try to explain why that latest change doesn't make sense with the rest of the application?

And what is "deployment performance" -- trying to cut the costs involved in building and deploying new nuclear power plants? If it is, just say that. Don't make me guess what your company actually does, because I'm going to guess using my priors, and as you probably guessed from my other comment, my priors are very negative.

> a highly customized PLM app

Two red flags here: "highly customized" -- I'm a software developer. I write code (among many other things, of course). What does "customized" mean? Are you building this in some other inner platform? "Customized" sounds much weaker than just plain new code. Will I find Apex code built on SharePoint or something awful like that? "Customized" is a huge red-flag word for me because it's almost exclusively used by people who are afraid of programming and don't understand the software development lifecycle.

The other red flag: "app". You're trying to "revolutionize nuclear power deployment performance" with an ... app? Look, I get that "app" is just short for "application" and therefore could mean anything, including an advanced industry-centric analysis tool. But it doesn't, does it? You wouldn't use the word "app" for that. So you're trying to revolutionize nuclear power with a $2 app in the Apple Store or something? That's what it sounds like to me.

Again, think of me as an investor. If that's your elevator pitch, I've come away with the message "big ideas with absolutely no idea how to deliver on them".
Yes, ClickHouse can query Postgres for maybe two years already.

https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/integrations/postgresql/postg...

You can connect to Postgres using a table function:

SELECT ... FROM postgresql(...)

You can create a table with ENGINE = PostgreSQL and use it like a normal table.

You can create a database with ENGINE = PostgreSQL and it will represent all the tables from the PostgreSQL database.

And finally, you can replicate data from PostgreSQL in realtime with CDC into ClickHouse tables.
Mine wants seniors. It's the best time to value shop. The plan is dump contractors and pick up cheap seniors in the hopes you get them at a discount and they stick around.
Heh, I wonder if they just quietly do that in the middle of a session

I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense to me. Doubly so when, in this case, the goal is to identify you as a person by the platform holder who needs to validate to the best of their ability that you're not a ban-evading cheater ruining other people's games. You are not personally identifying yourself to other players.
Do you know for sure it is absolutely impossible? I know at least 3 countries where you can get a permission from your parents being 16, 14, or even 12.

I know that, because I was 16 when we did the procedure to allow me be adult (have all the rights of being 21, except vote and consume alcohol)
For me the thing is if is written in rust it has more chances to get more contributors, besides all the rust benefits (fast, performant as if it were written in C, but without the worries of the memory issues).

Also just because I use rust, I could contribute, for C/C++ editors I will not be able, maybe I'll also give a chance if the editor were written in Go, but no other language, all the others are slow.

Also rust IMHO has a few apps (including commands) that are worth checking:

- Helix
- Alacritty
- Wezterm
- Nushell
- Zoxide
- Starship

Then are others to replace grep, and other commands that I cannot remember from the top of my head.
AFAIK all the incomes from invalid traffic are refunded to the advertisers. That might also be the procedure in case of invalid accounts.

Curious to what “Gen Z are much smaller than Boomers” is in reference to. Population size or literally physically? (Which neither is true from what I can tell?)
I swear I recently saw something related to generating clean topology procedurally. Wish I could remember where.
> I'd not expect to become advertisement fodder for a product that I pay regularly for

It's not always advertisements. Sometimes, the company will hire some oxygen waster that wants to boost "engagement" in order to justify their job and salary, so now your system is using your telemetry data to find ways to waste your time (as well as track whether they've indeed managed to waste it) even though advertisements themselves aren't (yet) involved.

Not to mention, advertisements don't have to be served over the same device that collects the data. The inverter company can very well collect the data, sell it to a data broker where other ad companies will use this data.
In addition to programming, part of my job involves doing linux admin stuff, when I login to a server I expect vim to be there, and if not it takes a few seconds to install it.

I usually try something on my local machine and switch to the server and do this back and forth and sometimes the other way around, I have a test server where I test something before trying it on my local machine. Having the same text editor on all of these environments mean I don't have to context switch much, also I have my own custom config which I have been improving over the years and the fact I have multiple vim instances running right now and they are all consuming less than 120MB memory and the fact it responds really really fast is a really nice addition.

When I first started using vim I remember I asked one of my friends the following, "what the hell is wrong with people, why do they love using this god awful garbage" I remember my friend asking me to keep trying for a little while longer. Thank heavens I took his advice, I can't really remember when it happened but one day it just made sense.

Then I saw a neovim config file, and how good it looked with lua scripting, changed my old vim config in to a neovim one, and now I use neovim.

(plus I still have trust issues with a certain multi billion dollar company)
We recently started providing standardized neovim centric dotfiles setup to developers at our startup and this setup has improved productivity quite a lot.

Our neovim "distribution" is highly geared towards our tech stack (Golang etc.) and provides fzf based command palette.

See: https://github.com/fluxninja/dotfiles

We aren't using neovim's built-in LSP as we found it to be a bit immature. Instead we are providing coc.nvim.
Even if Google were to change their policies to allow this youngster back on in five years, he'd be helpless to actually get Google to respond to a support request.
I wonder what historical forces led to this different type of development. Already by the time of the American Revolution, the Quebecois were ambivalent at best towards their erstwhile mother country, so I don't think it's a matter of continued French influence over the centuries.
something the author doesn't point out is new development in Montreal. you can see the patch of green to the east of the Montreal housing map where Griffontown and North Verdun (the more recently developed areas of the city) are moving towards condo style housing. rent prices have been trending higher too, but I suppose you could say that about the rest of the country too.

not criticizing the post, and it's one of my favourite cities to live. but the problems are coming here too.
> But somehow today more people work at banks than in the past, even accounting for population growth. Why would CRUD apps that make some stuff more efficient change this?

Population growth doesn't account for regulatory changes and it takes a while to automate anything that interfaces with the law because of the inherent risk in getting it wrong. Banks are acutely exposed to this because they're often the ones who are ultimately responsible - they're the default insurance policy against counterparty risk.

This seems to be part of a general Zeitgeist of removing state enforcement of laws and leaving it to the citizens to police each other.

In the pharmacy now there's plastic casing protecting almost everything - even toothpaste requires a bell and an assistant. Then there are now private security guards that didn't exist before. You can smoke or drink on the subway now and no one will stop you. You can certainly jump the turnstile and no one will stop you (not for a few years). You can rob someone with a threat of violence and you won't end up in jail, not at all.

Again, citizens are expected to police each other. Or, if you're a victim of something it's your fault (and the on that committed the crime needs to be considered in light of inequality, or some other external circumstance).

A bit of a tangent: "De-policing" doesn't actually de police, it just privatizes it, and feed inequality, because the rich will always afford private security (as they always had and will use more of).

Back from the tangent: this is more of the same - normally the state goes around issuing parking tickets and even enforcing traffic laws. Normally. However no one seems to be doing either lately. Especially moving vehicles. Should the citizens be policing each other too?

The suggestion in this thread to "smash car windows in" is part of that Zeitgeist I'm talking about.

Anyone else looking to move to a rural area?
Latency is always a problem for multiplayer, whether on local LAN or not. A lot of it comes down to how well the game engine deals with latency. I play Guild Wars 2 on GeForce now given that I have a Mac. Works just fine on normal days.
The answer is in your logs. If there are no logs, Microsoft know your site better than you do.
My guess is title companies haven't caught up to this - they've never had unreal/intangible property associated with real estate before.
Chicago and NYC are probably the two places this critique does not apply to. Take Houston, LA, etc. that are all around the same size, and you'll find a significantly different makeup of housing stock.

Take where I live - Seattle - and the criticism makes a lot more sense. I live in a neighborhood about two blocks from a light rail stop and still walk by single family homes on relatively large plots on my walk from door to door. In nearly any direction, you are within a block or two of what one would say looks like a suburban single family home. There is the concept of "urban villages" which are small pockets of multi-family housing surrounded by low density housing.

I have a strong conviction that the reason Montreal housing is cheaper is in no small part because of the language barrier. Even if you could work remotely, why would you move somewhere you don't speak the primary language, surrounded by people that are somewhat hostile? It's a much smaller market.
> doesn’t mean they should be banned for life.

It doesn't mean that it shouldn't though, either. I can't imagine any other way around this that doesn't amount to forcing a company to provide a service to someone they have rational reasons to not trust, which seems like globally at least it could cause more problems than it solves.

To be clear I'm not saying we shouldn't encourage a company to re-consider when the person is older, but it's hard to see how they should be forced to.
I had a similar reaction: "What a strange name for an Elixir library!"
City planning hipster-ism is great clickbait on the internet. Younger people without much experience or brains click on it and get all enthusiastic about the idea of some mythical perfect city.

In this case, the "missing middle" is what cheaper living looks like outside of a big city center. In the big cities, high rises are used because the city is literally out of space. Outside of a big city, single family homes are more popular because people almost unanimously want to live in them. But those who can't afford to live in a single family home, but live outside of a large city--those people live in places that look exactly like all the "missing middle" pictures in the article. Nothing in there looked unusual to me. I used to live in places like those. Now I don't, because I upgraded to a single family home.
And no escape hatch (google policy is 1 and done) when the automated system goofs seals the deal
Manhattan should end street parking, paid or free. Cars are not compatible with a city of its nature and parking is probably the least effective use of that space.

I use both, there are certain nuances with helix right now, like exploring the project structure, there's a sidebar in the works, but is not ready yet, also when you need to create new files I find it easier to do it in vscode.
Well, the law is usually on the side of the young. Younger you are lighter is the punishment, here it seems to be the reverse.
Rent is cheap because people are leaving the xenophobic environment. There's always some referendum talk on a 20 year cycle to keep the rates low, 70s, 90, 10s.

So yeah there's a huge Brain Drain from Anglo/English speaking Immigrant populations, as well as people fed up with the corruption.
The invention of things like saddles and carriages only made horses more and more valuable over the years, until automobiles became a more practical replacement.

I think it is hubris to say that anything a human can do cannot eventually be replaced by a machine. When we will actually reach that point is the real question.
In Illinois, we choose to exclusively elect corrupt self-dealing politicians. We think that a politician without an obvious ulterior financial motive is mysterious and therefore dangerous.
I've encountered this too. I always figured the panhandlers were grad students doing a sociology experiment. ...or just grad students.
Best possible response. Thank you.
Yes, Microsoft should. Because hunting for shit people shouldn't be an excuse to hurt innocent people ever.

Just like you shouldn't be beaten by the cops without knowing a reason for it.
What is surprising: if you query MySQL from ClickHouse, the queries work faster despite the fact that the data is simply read from MySQL.

And two more use-cases:
- you can create a table in ClickHouse pointing to multiple MySQL servers for sharding and failover, so ClickHouse can be used to query sharded MySQL;
- you can create a key-value dictionary on top of MySQL tables and use it in JOINs.
Except for the times it’s not.

C was invented at some point too. Nock and Hoon serve a purpose and exist for a reason.
Admittedly, no. But, in addition to that, he has a Physics degree from UPenn and was accepted to a PhD program in MechE at Stanford, was co-founder of X.com, is Chief Engineer at SpaceX, and has some of the most respected people in their respective fields (some of whom have worked closely with him) vouch for his engineering chops (Andrej Karpathy[0], John Karmack[1], Gareth Reisman[2], an astronaut and Professor of Astronautics Practice at USC, Jim Keller[3]).

Unless you present your engineering qualifications that are of equivalent credibility as that of the aforementioned people, as well as present evidence that you've worked with him as closely with Elon Musk as some of these folks have, I'll stick with my conclusion that, yes, he's indubitably an engineer.

Asciidoctor Notebook (2021)
The idea is that you're selling your SRECs to someone (say a coal-powered bitcoin miner) so they can offset the pollution they're doing and not have to build their own controls. The argument is that if you did NOT sell, they would have to solve the problem some other way.

Just like if Tesla didn't sell electric vehicle credits to other manufacturers, those companies would have to find other solutions to comply.
Great, thanks again! Yeah, a lot of the things steampipe is doing are right up my alley. Fun to learn about! Watching your talk now and enjoying it.

> Some of these features probably lead actual usage

This is an interesting comment and from my experience I'm sure it's often true.

Around 2008 or thereabouts I was the lead engineer on my company's first foray into what is now called IIoT: Industrial Internet of Things. At the time we just called it Remote Monitoring. There was (is?) even an magazine by that name.

We built large, complex medical instruments that required periodic servicing both by the customer and by our Field Engineers. Engineering's value proposition for the project to the Technical Support/Field Service group was that we could reduce the frequency of expensive and unscheduled field service callouts and provide considerably more debug information from an instrument when a customer called in with a problem. We should be able to reduce diagnosing an instrument failure from hours to minutes. And in the future, we'd probably be able to tell when a consumable part was due for replacement and schedule it ahead of time.

It was a freaking battle uphill both ways in the snow to get them to accept that. All they wanted was a slightly faster version of the tool they already had which was already inadequate for the task. They couldn't actually stop us from implementing this, but there a a strong reluctance to the point of "well it sounds nice but I don't see how it would be helpful to us."

Postmortem:

Fast forward two years. The system is in the field. Tech support keeps telling us how they can't imagine that they were able to get along without it and keep asking for new features!
The old apocryphal tale comes to mind of the CD clubs.

-Everyone knew a person back in the day who signed up for the CD clubs promising dollar CD's, or 10 for a dollar. Whatever the various deals were.
-With those deals came a commitment to buy 10 - 20 more albums at full price.
-You sign a contract agreeing to this.
-So the friend-of-a-friend signed it while under 18 and a minor.
-They then tell the CD club that the agreement is null and void on account of them not being legally able to sign a contract, and after getting their 10 CD's for a dollar or whatever, to cancel their account.
After like 8 years working with node/react, this year I got into this exact stack.. and OMG... feels like cheating. I had forgotten life could be easier.
But things can be done without contracts. You can't hold a child accountable to pay a bill--but children certainly can buy things. You simply make things with children entirely prepay or time-of-transaction pay (you hand the clerk the $, you get the item.)
I would not raise a family in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
As someone who works in renewable energy and has a dose of skepticism on most IoT devices. I very much want to have a read on how much energy my solar assets are creating therefore I am very comfortable with an inverter shipping out production values. That way I can resolve them when it isn't producing due to soilage or any other issue.

I would chalk it up to being overly paranoid. However if you are in a foreign country and have a system that is connected via payments that is a different matter all together (i.e. that you don't own the asset and you are paying for the electricity produced).
> If anything Google /made/ and extra $300

Not really, since they can cash it out when they're 18, and unclaimed but earned funds on an active but unverified AdSense account don't just disappear into the ether - so on Google's balance sheet, they don't have an extra $300.
Real talk, if it isn't obvious foundation damage and the roof isn't currently on fire, it'll probably sell just fine.

You can hire a home inspector after it's "fixed" and see what he says. Just disclose that you have solar and that you had an issue and it was resolved, provide paperwork, and most people will yawn.

It is very easy with ClickHouse. All you need is:

And you can run this query without installing ClickHouse, using the clickhouse-local command-line tool.

It can be downloaded simply as:

curl https://clickhouse.com/ | sh
Several states have programs that buy them at a price high enough to defray installation costs, to encourage adoption of solar. Part of the installer’s job is to do that paperwork for you, so you’d know if you had that option. You can also sell them to other states if you set up with a marketplace, typically SRECTrade. However, the fees and low sale price are prohibitive if you’re not in a state that statutorily buys them for a higher amount
The Bullshit Jobs bubble is bursting.
The problem is that GCs have the same incentive as real estate agents. It's more profitable to do 2 quick jobs (even at 80% of top pay) than 1 quality job (at 100% of top pay). Quantity > quality.

Lesson learned from watching my parents build a home & personal projects: treat any payment of funds as a sign off on the work and expect you'll never hear from them again.

If a GC baulks at 1/2 withheld until completion/inspection, move on.

If you have any concerns about the quality of work, refuse to pay until it's completed.
