We do something similar, but in 2), instead of using the outbox pattern, we make use (in several different settings) of integers that are guaranteed to increment in commit order, then each consumer can track where their cursor is on the feed of changes. This requires some more care to get that sequence number generated in a safe way, but it means that publishers of changes don't need one outbox per consumer or similar.

Then you can have "processes" that query for new data in an input table, and update aggregates/derived tables from that simply by "select * ... where ChangeSequenceNumber > @MaxSequenceNumberFromPreviousExecution"...

The idea here implemented for Microsoft SQL for the OLTP case:

If you are ingesting events from e.g. Kafka or other similar sources it is easier to assign sequence numbers though and this is not needed
I mean, if they push their GUI editor and their GUI editor makes it hard to interlink, arguably that does make them part of the problem.

There's a bit of a difference between taking away the only truly hard part of the project and using the standard library.
Hmm, true. Plan 2: like a tanker truck (well maybe the dimensions of an F-150 truck or a U-Haul) but it's batteries . Your car park has no charging infrastructure? We place the truck there and electric cars can park around it and be charged. Just don't read the fine print about how explosive it'd be if the battery catches fire.
Estonia government issued electronic IDs have a computer chip that can digitally sign data.
Not sure what you mean - there is plenty of evidence Niemann cheated online, even if you personally don't believe chess.com. If you believe chess.com, Niemann is a cheater that lied about his cheating.

Again, I don't get the whole 'campaign' thing, it sounds like a big collusion.

Sure, had Carlsen won, he would maybe not have withdrawn (apparently he still felt uncomfortable with Niemann's inclusion, as did other GMs). But it's a logical fallacy to conclude that the cheating allegations are unfounded. My understanding is it simply was the straw that broke the camel's neck. Likely a false straw, but the bucket was already full at that point.
Depends on your definition of free. Most of the Patreons I support have a minimum threshold to get their stuff. For example I support someone which makes software available only through Patreon. It is not available for free outside of that. So it's basically like I'm paying for software but through Patreon as their vendor instead of Stripe or PayPal.

Perhaps a contributing factor is that when stuck at work you have a limited range of options that don't include passing out whereas at home you have fewer restraints and more competition from the easy solutions
You might enjoy swing/lindy hop or ballroom lessons. (I certainly have!) There are individual moves that one learns, as well as big-picture principles that tie them together.

As a nerd myself, I've gravitated towards hobbies that were somewhat methodical, that one consciously learns -- and swing dancing has definitely been among the most fun.
Right, but what %s are your RSUs and bonuses taxed at?
Or you can just use multiple accounts, which makes things a whole bunch easier.

Frankly, AWS is just missing a level of abstraction here. Azure has resource groups, Gcloud has projects. An AWS account now is just used instead of those concepts, despite it being heavyweight and awkward to do so.

Between the sarcasm and numerous grammatical errors, 50% of this article is unintelligible to me. I cannot understand what the author is saying at all on points 4, 5, and 9.
I don't think that your assertion makes sense in its own context. What you are saying is that "SPD" exists, and "ADHD" is just a modern rebranding of it. But why do you decide that "SPD" is the spot at which scientists got it right? Were they free from the corruption that you imply?

I agree with a general skepticism of the pharmaceutical industry. I disagree that all of neurology and pharmacology have been completely subsumed by that industry. It is not entirely free of it either, but there is more nuance here than you seem to be allowing.

It is used in a lot of products, specially legacy products that have been given a “facelift” to switch from buttons + screen to touchscreen.

I’ve been always against it when it comes to the non-CM versions.

The foundation receives donations, both private and public, and works as a non-profit with the original goal of giving every kid a computer, and now more broadly to teach through their platform. Having private companies leeching off it for me is very much scummy behavior.

A company I worked for used the 2B, 3B and 3B+ in a bunch of products. My complaints were dutifully archived in the trash.
Thanks, Richard, I've been gazing by landing page for days, I guess it's finally time to show the world.

It's so frustrating that Android isn't better. I ... think that it's mostly due to app design not being so great.

But the super glib part of me is unable to escape from the idea that there is an original sin with Android, with its complications around activities and the like, and the JVM, that make the weird jittery lagginess inevitable. I know that in theory you should be able to have a high perf layer for graphics and animations, but where is it?

It's just embarassing that somehow we've ended up in a situation where there is so much money poured into an "open" (yes I know it's not open but) system and yet it still feels so bad compared to iOS on a... 4 year old device
>This is how the united states fails - our education institutions fail to hold the bar and let the pillars of real education turn to sand.

That’s why we should be providing college for free (to the student, it will cost us all money in the form of taxes). If you fail Ochem, it won’t be thousands of dollars lost (yes maybe thousands from society, but the burden is not on the individual). It might set you back, but not monetarily. If there’s a lottery, it should be in the form of selecting who goes where and not a lottery ticket that oddly resembles a tuition bill.

Of course someone is going to say some version of “we can’t afford that, it’s absurd, people won’t respect their education if they don’t lose something, it decreases competition…” but then I guess we’ll have to let the US fall. Guided instruction needs to be as close to free as possible for people and failure to learn something shouldn’t cause monetary anguish, just more time spent trying to learn.

This is why I’m a big proponent of increased funding for my local community college. I will gladly (and do) pay more in taxes to increase funding and decrease tuition. The day they ask if it should be free on the ballot, I will excitedly fill in “yes”.

We really need to shift away from charging people money to be successful. It has made our society very sick.

My favorite was a DB project where the DB would accept DELETEs faster than the SSD could write them to disk. The eventual solution was to implement a proportional controller that looked at the "still to be persisted to disk" backlog and kept it at ~66% of the value at which the DB would stop accepting queries by selectively inserting sleeps into the DELETE-submitting process. We could have fixed it at some known-good but low value, but implementing a controller enabled us to speed up during the night (when there was low user traffic) and still not stress the db too much when a lot of users were online.
> dies 8 days later due to complications

But 365 days?

That's sounds like it's mental health related.

It seems like we should track cause of death so we can have richer and more actionable information.

Edit: I didn't mean to imply that this wasn't postpartum depression. I was curious if/why other nations aren't tracking the full calendar year after birth, and if our way of counting prevents us from directly comparing figures. I want to mathematically compare. Our figures are alarming.
> Do we really want to become that poor? Is equality (in everyone being poor) a social goal?

About the only thing I'd be unhappy about trading with Europe, as far as income plus services and worker standards (time off, healthcare, retirement, primary-university education, child care, et c.) goes, is their housing situation.

Of course, ours is completely fucked too and some of us are only doing better because wages are more uneven here.

Like, if we could actually get all their social services and other perks in exchange, I'd be OK with a big pay cut. I mostly need this much money here to make up for not having those things, or for the ones provided being terrible and having to be supplemented or replaced out of pocket.
I fail to see the relevance. Household gas prices had already tripled before the mini budget. Nobody’s household gas prices today reflect the price volatility in the last 10 days, the price changes have been in the works for months.
And why would that be a bad thing if the two happened to align?
> Also, it's missing the crucial implication: at what price?

What even is wealth if you won't use it to prevent the death of children when that is in your power to do?

The price can't be that high because countries poorer than ours find a way to pay it. What are we getting instead? What is it you're afraid to give up, for this?
If it's a real advance expect manure and misunderstanding for a while - we have the record of what bystanders said as they watched Fulton's steamship being built and it wasn't pretty. Everyone knew it couldn't work, was madness, etc. Twas a good day in my life, long ago, when I realized that anxiety couldn't actually kill me. Bite the bullet. But steel man your product as best you can and anticipate whatever technical difficulties might arise first, of course.

Ordinary advice, but it's an ever-recurring, ordinary-enough situation historically.
Last week, I was looking at one of those About/Team pages with a grid of headshots, and for a ~50 person company, it looked like maybe a quarter to a third of the employees had the title "Principal Engineer". What a farce!
Or, I just pointed out that you went into the conversation with a boring assumption. It's transparent.

He didn't invent SQL. He had to take the grammar from somewhere.

You wanted him to handwrite it copied from the ANSI SQL paper?

Wow! What a great idea! I definitely would never do that because it'd violate their TOS. Don't ask me how I know that it's a Zero W in the first place because opening the thing up is a big no-no.

This is generally what advocates for these kinds of programs ask for. The bloat and overhead gets added by welfare opponents under the justification of "preventing abuse."
This is such a frustratingly common take. I want to believe it but I have met so many Uber drivers with 5000+ rides who, when I ask, say they enjoy the job. I really cannot imagine these people are these for the pleasure of driving. They're making money. Maybe, probably, likely, not lots, but they are certainly at the very least making ends meet.

My last driver on vacation said he was on his 3rd vehicle over 7 years of driving with Uber. I imagine if he's still going, he's doing more than "breaking even".

"Postpartum depression" is both mental health and maternity related for example.
I recently retired from working for other companies after a 35 year career; but I have a personal side-project that I have worked on for about a decade. During that time I would usually spend spare time on it in the evenings or on weekends. Now I can work on it anytime I like.

Without some kind of structure, it is easy to let a whole week or two go by without accomplishing much of anything. So I make sure that I get up at 7am every morning and do something productive on it each day. Some days I will only spend a couple hours on it, others I will work 10+ hours on it.

Since startup founders often have to wear many hats, it can be a challenge to decide what to work on each day. To prevent boredom and to spread tasks around so that progress is made in several different areas; I roll a single die every day to decide which of six areas to work on that day. 1 = Work on a new feature. 2 = Test an existing feature or run benchmarks. 3 = Fix bugs or optimize some code. 4 = Write documentation, blogs, or newsletters. 5 = Work on marketing and sales. 6 = Reach out to existing customers for feedback or help them figure out how to use it better.
Am in New Orleans and folks are talking about an in-river levee to keep the salt water from intruding into the river from the Gulf of Mexico, because of the low river levels.

I know there are water restrictions in most of the USA but I never thought it would hit the Mississippi river.
> What I’m trying to figure out, is whether there’s a format that people would be willing to pay for to get depth in those answers?

Individual people have questions like that every so often and rarely they _might_ be willing to pay for an answer - but who are they going to trust enough to pay up-front for an answer to a question, sight unseen? And how are you going to get in front of them at the right moment?
I was in this boat but for a while before finally biting the bullet and getting one. Zelda is easily the best game I’ve ever played, I ended up spending over 80 hours on that when I’m lucky to ever spend over 10 hours on a game. I got the Switch a few months before my second was born and it’s such a great system if you can only squeeze in small bursts of gaming, power button instantly puts it to sleep, then it instantly wakes right where you left it.

Worth picking them up second hand now too, Facebook marketplace seems to have some pretty good deals going at times.
I thought they did say, or it leaked out that they have told the Russians: they would respond with conventional airstrikes to destroy all Russian military personnel and equipment in Ukraine, including Crimea.

I work at a company that has used raspi's in hardware.

There are cheaper alternatives, but there are not better supported alternatives. The most expensive rPi is a rounding error in terms of engineering time. Why bother saving ~$30 if you have to spend $1k worth of engineering time to diagnose a compatibility issue on some less well documented board.
I'd like to know more detail about the methodology and definition of "preventable."

My sister's death in 2017 while 8 months pregnant is (apparently) included in this data, but I wonder how they would rate it.

She experienced sudden cardiac death, but had no prior indication anything was wrong with her heart, and no symptoms that would otherwise cause someone to examine her heart.

Had anyone examined it, they might have realized it was compromised, but does "we could require cardiac ultrasounds on all pregnant women, and sign vulnerable ones up for transplants" count as "somewhat preventable"? Can you even do a heart transplant on a pregnant woman?

I don't think her death was preventable, but the fact that I don't know how they would have counted it based on the information here makes me wish for more details.

I left devops behind to go back to an IT help desk. Around a 20% paycut but I never even have to have email on my phones, no on call, no weekends, I barely have to think much. Good benefits and still above average pay for my area and I can return to grad school part time. I realized I just dont deal well with stress and it easily spills over into my personal life, my stress started effecting my spouse so I had to go.
Its difficult to find countries with so liberal abortion laws as in America. As an European it amazes me that so many people think abortion at late stages is "Business as usual".
I found it somewhat reassuring, as these were people trained in nuclear science, invested in the area and raising families there. However, they're not ecologists or doctors, and are basically the successors of the people who randomly dumped a bunch of nuclear waste all over. I'm sure if you asked in the 50s they would have told you oh yeah, it's fine, it's under 30 feet of dirt.

I asked one nuclear chemist what he thought about the new housing developments at TA-21 (or whatever it is), the site of the milling facility. He said "Sure, I'd live there. Well, I'd take my geiger counter".

Los Alamos is higher elevation than surrounding areas, on top of sandy soil that drains to the Rio Grande. I'd be more concerned about the health impacts on the people in the watershed. Los Alamos County has one of the highest per capita incomes and education levels in the country (I believe it has the highest percentage of PhDs), and pretty much everyone there works for the Labs, either as scientists or support staff. I'd me more concerned about the health impact on neighboring communities such as San Ildefonso Pueblo, which is quite the opposite - one of the lowest income and education levels in the country. Santa Fe is also a short distance down the river. The reservations there have indeed raised concerns about the impact of pollution on them, such as the aforementioned battle over chromium contamination.

The third leading cause of death in the United States is believed to be preventable medical errors.

Anyways, I have never been pregnant, but if you saw what happened to me medically this summer, you would be doing everything you could to be leaving the US. Anyways, I am a dual citizen. My other nationality is Croatian, but I don’t plan on living there.

Even Croatia, you know which went through a horrific war 30 years ago, has a better life expectancy than the US now. But even before the pandemic, they were very close to convergence with the US life expectancy. And Croatia only spends $1,100 on healthcare per citizen per year!!!

Since we are on Hacker News, I will say that this is not only a very cool technique in the physical world, it's also an amazing pattern to have when writing algorithms: think about your "support" and your "feature building" as potentially separate passes.

Say you have a bunch of dynamic business rules that you need to apply onto a calendar of days, or a canvas of spreadsheet cells, or another discrete collection of slots where information could go, or even a continuous domain (in all of which some type of gap-filling and continuity might be desired).

Rather than looping in one pass over your rules, and trying to figure out how to simultaneously fill gaps and write meaningful information into specific places, it might be helpful to first pass over your rules and think "where is the support area that might be needed, all of the places where some rule or combo of rules might write information." After all, if you're just thinking about support, you can trivially combine things, because you're just applying some kind of union operation as you go along.

Then you can do another pass, where you worry about order and precedence and complex inter-rule interactions, while knowing you already have a pre-made "canvas" on which you can paint and - in the real-world analogy - play with color and texture and all that fun stuff.

Of course, you no longer have an algorithm that can handle streaming data, but two passes are still O(N), and the resulting code can be infinitely more readable.

(To the mathematicians out there, I do apologize for being inspired by, but completely ignoring the nuance of, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_(measure_theory) - but I think it's a useful mental model even when generalized in a less-than-mathematical way!)

Too much binary thinking. Somehow we got to the point where either it's 100% effective at preventing infection, transmission and serious illness, or "it doesn't work". I've heard people I respect as intelligent software engineers tell me that since the COVID vaccines don't 100% prevent this or that, "they don't work." As if your application "doesn't work" if it has at least one bug in it.
I don't understand what the point was of having both listings, one with the normal spelling and one with the phonetic spelling, each with their own audio. I'd expect the audio clips to be based on their respective listing (and I guess ideally they'd sound the same?); but It seems like both are just reading the normal English spelling text.

2 places I found interesting:

- In the first stanza, instead of "your dress you'll tear" it sounds like both are saying "your dress will tear."

- In the penultimate stanza, the word Housewife is pronounced differently between them. But the phonetic spelling on the right is how the reader of the plain-English text says it; and the reader of the phonetic spelling says it much more like I'd expect the normal word to be read -- not how it's spelled phonetically.
