Here's the chart for those threads, which isn't too exciting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kqUnALPvgpM6HiK5s-GP...

Personally, I do not use Cloudflare, but Coolify works with it!
I think this is one of those cases when different people flag different threads, and as a result there is no winning front page thread (some small amount of flags has a negative effect on ranking).
I don't think you need "abnormally strong opinionatedness" or anything else special: all you need is a certain (long-term) dedication to the project and willingness to just put in the work.

Almost every project is an exercise in trade-offs; including every possible feature is almost always impossible, and never mind that it's the (usually small) group of core devs who need to actually maintain all those features.

It is possible that police are both "commonly" held accountable, yet not "often enough" for the good of society. Devil is in the details.
>LiteFS has a single-writer multi-reader architecture; it's the same strategy you'd use to scale out Postgres

I'm curious about how such a strategy deals with applications that update a value and then read the updated value back to the user, since there might be a replication delay between the write (that goes to the master) and the read (that comes from the closest replica). Do you make optimistic updates on the client or do you club (write-then-read) operations into a transaction?

>Welcome to modern tech, where the management, perception, control and tactical destruction of real value is the only place left to eek out a profit margin.

It's almost as if there's a consistent economic process that leads companies to do this kind of thing again and again. We could call it "the tendency of the rate of profit to fall".
You could check "AITemplate optimizations" section in the blog (https://ai.facebook.com/blog/gpu-inference-engine-nvidia-amd...), and https://github.com/facebookincubator/AITemplate#more-about-a.... The basic idea is to do aggressive kernel fusions.
The decision passed today also talks about harmonizing wireless charging in the future, to make sure it's compatible across brands and device types. Presumably that would happen once the technology has matured a bit more.
You have left multiple comments now om this post with disparaging remarks about the Clickhouse team without any evidence to backup your claims.

Ask HN: Has Amazon completely broken down (at least in the Bay Area)?
I use Amazon Fresh sometimes and my last 3 deliveries have been skipped without notice. I call customer service and they give me a small credit and say "try ordering again". Same thing happens with the next scheduled slot.

A dozen+ packages have been marked as "on the way" or "out for delivery" but the date comes and goes and driver never shows up. I call customer service and they refund the purchase. It may or may not then randomly get delivered a few days later.

This has been happening for at least a couple months now. They haven't acknowledged it anywhere, but it seems like Amazon has some massive logistics issues going on behind the scenes. Has anyone else had the same experience? Is this restricted to the Bay Area, or is it a larger problem?

Looking at September's Who is Hiring [0] it does look like there are quite a few posts many days into the month. I don't think we can draw many conclusions on this data until the end of the month to be honest.

Saying that last month had 536 posts, and that that was a low since June of 2020 seems much more interesting IMO.

My experience in medical school is that your success is based on your ability to memorize large amounts of information that is of low conceptual difficulty in short periods of time. This isn't a trait that is selected for in passing ochem. Furthermore, ochem is the last time in your undergrad or medical school training where you'll be faced with that level of conceptual rigor.

You could just as easily ask all the undergrads to train for a marathon and see who has the discipline to follow through. It would probably be more relevant because at least its health-related.

I think overall we want our doctors to have high general intelligence so we'll continue to demand o-chem. We all have our biases against the kids who couldn't pass o-chem.
Then it makes just as little sense to speculate on innocence as it does to speculate on guilt.
> I don't know the intention of the author

Why does his intent matter unless you think the data is being skewed or misrepresented? Seems like a fairly objective factual post to me (but I didn’t run the numbers myself).

I would appreciate if data observations like this always included the script so people could easily (and quickly) verify the results, but that’s just a personal knit pick.
Perhaps, if you’re just creating a new application every couple of years. For library authors like myself, a scaffolding tool is exactly what I need to quickly make the ecosystem of small, reusable libraries that you speak of. Do you expect Sindre Sorhus to manually copy the MIT license to each new project? What about the CI config? The .gitignore?

Okay, you might say, Sindre is an exceptional case. But on any new project, you might forget to include the correct set of files or screw up how they are set up by not filling in or updating a copyright notice, project version number, repo link, etc. Sure, you can cut down on the number of files you start your projects with and the fill-in-the-blank values they might need, but that only gets you so far and it reduces the initial usability of your project.

A scaffolding tool helps maintain consistently high quality across projects. For example, my Yeoman generator automatically fetches the latest version of my favorite CLI helpers and testing framework and other dependencies, so I never accidentally start a project with an outdated, potentially insecure codebase.

https://github.com/sholladay/generator-seth

Not everyone needs something this fancy! Another commenter mentioned editor snippets, which is probably what I would use if I couldn’t have Yeoman. But when you make new projects on a regular basis, scaffolding is 100% the way to go.

Whilst I think your numbers are reasonably accurate, and there is "other things going on" to push those numbers down, I don't think they paint the full picture. There is a definite slow-down towards the end of each year.
> [scientific racism] You're the one who pivoted the conversation in that direction.

The whole article is about a professor being forced to politicize and limit his research, presumably because it would be used to justify wrong-think.

To restate more generally though, the censoring side needs to prove the 'reading viewpoints -> copying actions' pipeline. Would a plainly written description of Hitler's beliefs create nazis of those who read it or is it the oration and the cult tactics that do that? If a nazi quotes a book in support of their views does that mean the book would cause someone without those views to become a nazi?

Sun Tzu counsels to know your enemy, how would this work if they were censored?

Talk therapy is incredibly important. People with ADHD can often suffer from rejection dysphoria and depending on how long until they realise, or how self aware they are, they end up internalising a lot of negative opinions and shame about themselves that needs to be unwound. There are a lot of issues around the pain of "never fitting in" or being understood. Some of these are a result of behaviours that aren't the social norm and so they become marginalised. Others are where differences in processing and learning information are labeled as "stupid" at a young age, when the child probably has a similar IQ to their peers.

Neurofeedback can be used with good success to help "rewire" particular issues with emotion dysregulation for instance. It can be expensive and requires a lot of time to train the brain to a different mode of operation.

Coaching, specifically around time-management and task-management. A lot of people with ADHD suffer from time-blindness. Their perception and relationship with time can be.... complicated. Calendars, specifically having a rigid system for what goes on them, regularly reviewing them, keeping them and a large easy to read clock visible at all times etc can really help.

A good water bottle with a straw. No one really knows why but there are a lot of hypotheses. - One thing that never gets mentioned is the relationship between ADHD and food. Generally the nervous system does a pretty terrible job at letting an ADHD person know, when they are hungry, when they are thirsty, when they need the bathroom. Combined with time-blindness, maybe some stress induced hyper-focus because you're falling behind on whatever you need to do, ADHDers will suddenly realise they've missed lunch and binge eat simple food that doesn't require preparation. Preparing a meal would be akin to telling someone with a deadline to just go run a quick marathon first. It'll feel like one or the other, and in some cases, depending on energy levels it will be. - but back to the water bottle. Using the straw means you don't divert your gaze from what you are doing. Your brain doesn't have to judge how full it is and tilt the glass accordingly, if it's big you don't have to get up to refill it. Frictionless hydration.
> Rib fractures occur during CPR if CPR is being done correctly.

This is a common myth. They can occur when CPR is being done, correctly or incorrectly, but do not occur in all cases and are not a good indicator of proper CPR technique. Sternal fractures or sternocostal separation may occur instead, and a small but significant part of the time, no injuries at all occur.
It's always interesting with that. IF everyone who submitted a dupe instead went and upvoted the original, it almost always would end up on the front page. B
"Unusual" is a normative claim, and thus means precisely nothing in this analysis.
How is it relevant as a technical story? It's more about money and ego. Mergers and acquisitions in the tech industry matter to some degree to those of us working in the field, but just because it involves Elon Musk doesn't make it headline news. I can't think of anything tech-related that will change if Musk buys Twitter, or doesn't, nor do I care how much he pays for it, or how he gets the money, or what changes he says he'll make. I don't use Twitter and I don't think of it as a tech platform.

Why does EU think it's so important to have USB-C on iphone that they must pass laws dictating apple's business strategy?

It feels the EU is overreaching here, by alot. There are alot of other e-waste that's much worst than iphone cables and they serve as a solid competitor to the usb-c clusterf%^$ standards that's going on right now.

Yeah. I was very excited about this until i got to "Bluetooth Low Energy for provisioning" and I was like "oh.." and then "Wi-Fi for high-data rate connectivity" was a "oh. no thanks." That's a clear path to the internet and also using multiple radios so that if I lock down one thing I have to constantly worry about others.

As it stands I dont see this being a thing that benefits me. It is more likely that this pushes smart home manufacturers away from Zwave, and makes my life worse because now I can't buy IoT devices without granting them internet access. Then I have to go through and start setting up IoT VLANs to quarantine devices, and in some really shitty cases, Ive seen WiFi devices where the app sends a message to a server, and the server sends a message to the device... so I can't quarantine the device without modifying it or losing functionality (see MyQ garage door openers). The industry looks bleak.

Agree on all points of preferring Z-wave though and it's also what I use. However, Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) recently redid all the switches in his home with Zwave switches... and they had a firmware issue... And the company refused to publish firmware updates in any way except through "official" Zwave hubs, and not Home Assistant. It eventually got sorted out, but Zwave isn't necessarily intrinsically failproof either.
If you want software to improve, you need to encourage companies working together on initiatives like this. Both Google and Apple suffer from this lack of communication, and it's led to shitty protocols time-after-time. If we start with Matter, maybe we can break down other arbitrary barriers like iMessage and the App Store/Play Store. Then we don't have to resort to antitrust litigation!

That's a reasonable position to have, but if that's going to be policy, it should be enforced in a nonpartisan way. One way to do that is to make voting by mail easier: presenting ID to register and then mail the ballot in with a personal PIN. Cross-check with death records to prevent spouses from voting for them. If that's not reasonable, I have to ask if it is about security or suppressing younger voters?

As for those unwilling to use ID, that's a hellish place to be, but it's their choice. They are opting out of society.

We should be doing all we can to help those who are unable to prove their identity by conventional means. Too often their parents denied them ID to keep control.
That's not an accident, that's manslaughter
Turing machines will exist in even very simple universes, because they are very simple. Instead physicists usually use complexity theory to analyze any proposed new universe or a theory for our universe. If for example, the new theory ensures P=NP, then is suspect. There is a lot of work done on this, but I don't know a good reference off the top of my head.

However, sometimes, people do think about Turing Machines. Here is one paper by Scott Aaronson http://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/ctchalt.pdf
To help understand the results of the benchmark, I find it helpful to look at how the benchmark is constructed, and what it tests for. From the README:

"The dataset is represented by one flat table. This is not representative of classical data warehouses, which use a normalized star or snowflake data model. The systems for classical data warehouses may get an unfair disadvantage on this benchmark."

Taking a look at the queries [0], it looks like it mostly consists of full table scans with filters, aggregations, and sorts. Since it's a single table, there are no joins.

You know what would be really helpful? Some tooling around measuring "write units", like a fake local ClickHouseCloud API you could submit a write to and see how many "write units" that particular write would take. Of course, that would make pricing transparent and easy and SaaS companies don't seem like that. I challenge you folks to actually figure out a way to prevent surprise bills, until then all this "write unit" stuff is bullshit.

I think everyone is aware of those additional revenue streams. For the vast majority of content creators they’re a tiny drop in the bucket and the real money is still overwhelmingly in YouTube placed ads.

Op suggested advertising hasn’t been the revenue model for creators in 10 years which, upon further research is plainly false. He completely made up the claim in an effort to justify his use of ad block.

By blocking ads you’re harming content creators, it’s really that simple. Blocking ads on indie content is nothing short of theft as far as I’m concerned.
I don't see where they say this. I see that they say you can upload your own stable diffusion images and that you can use images from lexica.art as inspiration.

They suggest heavily that the prompt you give is running stable diffusion and that it is your unique image on the that is generated

I've always thought that dependabot was busy-work, a waste of time. This article makes a good point that drives it home: Alarams that aren't real make all alarms useless. Dependabot is especially painful in non-typed languages (Python, Ruby, and especially Javascript) where "upgrading" a library can break things that there's no way to know until production.

Maybe the constant work, extra build time (and cash for all that), and risk of breaking production, is worth it for the 0.01% of the time there's a real vulnerability? It seems like a high price to pay though. When there are major software vulnerabilities (like log4j), the whole industry usually swarms around it, and the alarm has high value.

I just realized how much CircleCI probably loves Dependabot. I wonder what hit % their margins would take if we moved off it collectively as an industry.
