A lot of people moved from MongoDB back to traditional RDBMSs like MySQL because most data is in fact... relational.

There's probably a good use-case for MongoDB, but what I saw in practice was that it was an excuse for poor developers to avoid learning some dialect of SQL.

It's the same story with ORMs. You will eventually need to learn to write SQL. For some reason developers try to avoid this almost as much as possible. Maybe more than other technologies.

At some point, you are going to want to query data. And eventually you will reinvent what RDBMSs do out of the box, because they're purpose built for this work.

Further, if you need to just dump JSON, an RDBMS is still a better choice for all the reasons above.
Apple has a lot more data than just a list of devices.

There is everything from Weather to Siri to Store Purchases etc.

And companies will syndicate data sets to different teams for performance and security reasons ie. lots of duplication.
Americans are the American economy.
I've been trying to flit my eyes around the screen to get a sense for how fast you'd need to track. Definitely seems pretty fast! At least sample 30Hz I'd bet. I could see how doing all the image processing that quick might be tricky w/out custom hardware (even w/out the glasses problem you mentioned).

For the UX, I was imagining you have to press a button to instruct the computer that "Hey I'd like for you to move my cursor via eye-tracking". That way the cursor only moves when you want it to (same as today w/ a mouse) and isn't constantly moving around when you look around. Press down to have it move cursor to eye-tracked position and stop when you release.

Could possibly decompose the space bar to have that space for that button. Like have 3 mouse buttons where the right side of space bar is: (a) Track my eye movement while I press down and stop when I release, (b) left-click, (c) right click. Then you don't have to leave home row on your keyboard.

Or add one of those IBM Thinkpad mouse knubs somewhere on a keyboard and use those as mouse buttons instead of a mouse itself.

Idk, easy to dream of course. Hard to execute.
I reject PRs every day at work with varying level of "badness" and it works just fine. Normal people can put 20 seconds of thought and come up with a response that explains why a patch is unacceptable without resorting to name calling, even in this PR response Linus does that for the most part but in the end just can't help himself from throwing in a couple of petty jabs. There are other open source communities where this behavior would be unacceptable (for example the GoLang core team).

I am calling this out because Linus specifically said that he wants to handle himself better in public, he is aware of how he comes across and wants to change, it is not an RMS type situation where the guy has no self-awareness. Reading the rest of the thread I bet he regretted his response esp considering the response of the branch maintainer.
From TFA:

> Ubuntu Pro expands security coverage for critical, high and medium Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to thousands of applications and toolchains, including Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Nagios, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Puppet, PowerDNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust, WordPress, and more.

So sounds like coverage of a bunch of stuff in their Universe repository that is not part of the base system.

Though I found my own thing to whinge about, on https://ubuntu.com/security:

> Ubuntu [...] includes access to:

> - Knowledge Base: a private archive of expert-written articles and tutorials

Wait what?
I believe the popular summary is that EU4 is about genocide, whereas CK2 (and presumably CK3) is about fratricide. Completely different games.
Norway has hundreds of fjords, which can be dammed. It is hard to compete with that for example for Poland.
I guess this cannot have the same effect as what you described, because at the end of the day it is „just a video“ — but this brilliantly, brilliantly done time lapse recording of the night sky, where it’s EARTH that moves, and not the stars in the sky like in all those other videos, really made something click for me: https://youtu.be/1zJ9FnQXmJI
Why do you think the raw health data is getting sucked off your device? That would be totally off brand for them.

Apple does have a separate opt-in “Research” program to facilitate this kind of thing.
Ok so if your suitcase is indeed lost - don’t say u had airtag in there. Say you had 200k worth of camera equipment instead…
Since you were offended I'm sure you're aware of the very real connection.

This is actually why I've never liked doing things like setting relative line numbers. To use them, you have to actually stop and look at the line numbers, calculate what you need, then type it out. Without them it just flows through the fingers.
I don't thin open source really changes much from selling software or services. Okay, maybe you can't bill for writing custom framework, but on average I think it is pretty neutral case. Just spend time on other things.
No, music is DRM free because Apple had a stranglehold on digital music purchases. The music industry wanted Apple to license its DRM and Apple refused and came up with the alternative of letting everyone sell DRM free music.

It had absolutely nothing to do with piracy

I actually just dusted this code off, and unfortunately the code is way too crappy to share as a fun learning and POC using TypeScript and React. but here is the basic idea:

start with the standard mandelbrot equation: Zn+1^2 = Zn^2 + c
where Zn and c are complex numbers. You can think of these as 4 real dims: (Z0_re, Z0_im, c_re, c_im)

Now associate the X dimension of the display window to one of these and the Y dim to another. The other dims can be set to arbitrary constants. This can get you all orthogonal slices of the 4D space.

For example the standard mandelbrot set would just be mapping: Z0_re->0, Z0_im->0, c_re->X, c_im->Y

But you can also generate every combination of mandelbrot and julia sets in this space.

As the paper mentioned though, you want to choose any arbitrary 2d slice, not just orthogonal ones, but really this shouldnt be much harder to implement.

If I could do a POC of this in TS and React this should be easy to do for real.
What would be the point of that? It wouldn't work any more.
Can you say more about why "it sucks"? Are there some specific changes you can think of that would have made it a less bad idea?
especially with TP-Link switches being roughly the same cost and from Amazon.
My man just look at the title, I clicked wondering if dall-e made better anime characters than $10 fiverr artists. But all I got was plots, who in their right mind asks for plots on fiverr.

Am I being engaged right now, was your comment also to generate engagement.hm.
Exactly -- that's why I didn't post it.

I write for a living so seldom have time to do it for my blog as well -- so I take longer comments from here and other places, trim them and post 'em on the blog. Keeps it from falling silent.
Years ago, a company I worked for purchased a few fairly nice company cars - because that looked easier & probably cheaper than reimbursing employees for mileage in their own cars, renting cars when an employee from another office was in town, etc.

How is this different?
Those tools are for generating images and art, not precise schematics. The post is criticizing them for failing at something they aren't meant to do.
Unfortunately it's basically no longer available, and most of its changes are extremely disliked in the community. Which is a shame, because the changes to Ken were overall great but the rest of the changes really tank it. Characters like THawk and Akuma are bad jokes (in each balance direction).
Until SF gives the NIMBYs the middle finger and goes ahead and completely revises the zoning laws to open up a whole lot more the housing crisis will continue, this is a bandaid that gives into NIMBYism yet again.
This was never the “social contract”. From the beginning of VHS tapes and at home distribution, there was Macrovision. When copyright was made the law, there was no method of mass consumer distribution.

Also, as usual HN wannabee lawyers have no idea what a “monopoly” is. There is no “monopoly” on creating video content. You can in fact do it from your phone
Totally agreed re keeping an open mind. But after having used all the niceties you describe i understood that php itself is a fractal of poor design and practices. Gave up on using literally everything you described and ended up writing better code at a fraction of the time.

I do recommend reflecting on things as not knowing everything goes both ways.
Yeah but that's because cancer is basically your own cells with faulty programming.

Of course. That is not the point here.
Subtle here how "the economy" is used to mean "profits for employers and their investors".

Also ironic that the 22yo profiled decided to quit and get his real estate license. As if that were a job never subject to bubbles and the whims of the financial markets.
What would be the point of putting an AirTag in your luggage if you prevent it from communicating with the outside world? Toss the Tag in your carry-on if you want it at your destination.

This is actually a bad thing because the sponsored product will also be listed normally and then you can’t ignore it by virtue of it being sponsored.
Truth. This has been my experience as well but saying this would upset a lot of people.

People would equate the time it takes to press 4 keys vs moving the mouse but entirely forget the mental compute time of finding a pattern, recognition, selection of first 2 chars, etc. That for me takes more time than moving the mouse.
Therapy - if only to get me analyzing it rather than letting it control my life.

It's still there, and it's still a struggle. I've learned to mostly accept it as just how my brains works. I can recognize when it's causing me to make the wrong choice, and override that. Long walks really help when it's bad.
Tony Fadell says requirement for USB-C iPhone is the ‘right thing’
The fact you lost your child is the basis of your argument against me, beggars belief.. a phone is not by default a device to track a kid an air tag is.. my kid is 10 and yours is 2... waaaay different situation.

Edit: I lost my kid plenty of times as well.. they love to run off don't they.
Take a single line from my example 'x.relation.relation.relation.value'

The SQL would be

select w.value
from x
join y on y.relation=x.relation
join z on z.relation=y.relation
join w on w.relation=z.relation

1 line for the ORM, 5 lines of SQL. Please give an example where the SQL is less than what I typed in the previous comment.

In addition compiling will validate the ORM code generates valid SQL. On the other hand compiling will not validate a SQL string.

'Custom functions' are just larger versions of the anonymous functions in my example. Very easy for other developers to go to the reference and understand.
The Azure FPGAs are a bit tangential from a customer perspective; they are just the equivalent of the AWS Nitro smart-NIC. Azure IB is interesting in that I originally expected it to be a killer feature, but for customers I work with it just isn't enough to overcome the multitude of downsides of having to use Azure for everything else. In the end, hardly any commercially relevant codes absolutely need IB, and work well enough with the low-latency ethernet both AWS and GCP offer.
Tech firms say laws to protect us from bad AI will limit ‘innovation’ Well, good
It's also off-brand for Apple to join PRISM and comply with thousands of annual requests for supposedly-inaccessible iCloud data. Neither of you will ever be proven right until we look inside those servers though, so making any conclusive statements is a mistake. Apple designed Schrodinger's datacenter.

Paradox games have a bad habit of being overwhelmed by the cruft of their expansions, and CK2 was no exception. The game is phenomenal, but there are so many different unrelated systems (and systems in the vanilla game to support the DLC) that it can be incomprehensible.

CK3 so far has taken the best insights of those expansions (dynasty/bloodline maintenance, personal armies, skill specialization) and integrated them into the main game. The DLC has been a coin toss whether it is so well-tied-in (I think the culture-molding mechanic is less awkward than the throne room and artifacts or the iberian politics that somehow everyone on earth is privy to).
I hesitate to make blanket statements, but at this point, by and large and for most companies, Windows Defender (particularly with supplemental services from Microsoft like OneDrive backup, and Intune (some way to enforce configuration), etc) are more than fine for most companies. Spending money on third party AV solutions, particularly those that MSPs are making margin on with complementary hardware solutions (cough, sophos), are a rip-off.
I can really see that as one of those addictive mobile games people play on the commute like 2048, candy crush, wordle, etc
Yeah same, t T f and F are by far the most common things I do for both navigating and deleting/copying. But I also mostly only use vim as my "backup editor". For those scenarios where you only have a magnetized needle, a steady hand, and SSH.
If you're worried about stock options and other Corpo nonsense to such a point if affects your general wellbeing - get some perspective. You're still the top 0.0001% of humans whom even have the opportunity, and you're still not happy.

You've got limited time left to live, do something more meaningful and you won't be worrying about stocks into your 70's.
An AirTag transmits constantly yet it manages to last 6 months too. They do not wait for phones to ping them, they just beacon all the time.

Not saying this is what Tesla do. For privacy reasons it would be way better to not transit until it sees the car. But battery life isn't proof of this.
I haven't touched dbs much but I do want to...why is it that SQL is so scary for devs. Is it that difficult to learn?
they don't like dryness, but unfortunately our body is wet
Airlines do recommend keeping your car keys in your carry-on. Presumably this is so that you aren't stranded if your baggage gets lost rather than a ban on its battery.
Yes because it must be way too hard for you to use your own free will so the government must step in so you can watch the latest blockbuster since it really impacts your life negatively
They were moving towards E2EE when everyone freaked out about the on-device perceptual hashing trade off.
Fwiw I was afraid of manual migrations too, coming from Django, but its not that terrible once you get used to it. There should be a few form libs out there but I havent needed one so far. Chris McCord said at ElixirConf that there are plans of reworking the forms api to make it work better with LiveView.
In practice, any attempt to change these basic specs would be diverted to be to the benefit of Google and its ilk, with the power they have to steer conversations and decisions. It's an accident of history that we ended up with these fairly open and hackable systems as the basis for the Web, and it's at a delicate point where a lot of companies are annoyed that they can't silo and close down more of it.

So the unfortunate reality is that any well-intentioned attempt to reform them would be used instead to reshape them for corporate interests, with no guarantee that we even end up with better specs from a developer point of view. The incentives lay in the direction of guaranteeing corporate interests, with users losing more of their freedom to choose how they access and use the Web; the developer concerns will at best be used as a PR front for the press headlines.
Looks like mice poll at around 125Hz. High bar.
> Streaming services seem to have a perverse incentive to be full of stuff you actually don't want to watch, because you pay per month and every time you watch something it's an expense to them.

On the contrary, their incentive is to have as much content as possible, to keep as many people subscribed as possible. Quantity instead of quality, because few really good shows/movies won't keep millions of people subscribed once they've watched them, there needs to be other content remaining.
If it is one thing I've learned from Hacker News it is that the gut feelings and knee-jerk reactions of anonymous posters always and invariably trump whatever "researchers" publish in their peer reviewed so called "journals".

The Azure Met Office win left me very conflicted. As someone who is relatively positive about cloud adoption for science it was good to see some forward thinking. On the other hand, what I've heard about how the procurement was run plus my taxpayer-based views on where critical national infrastructure should be housed makes me rather less happy about the outcome.
I would pay for this.

If they could get rid of the slow LibreOffice garbage and make the audio / video system more stable, I'd pay a monthly fee.

I would pay for Firefox too.

The list of "designer" drugs is endless. There are hundreds out there and more discovered each day.

If you're interested in learning more about this sort of thing lookup Alexander Shulgin. He wrote some books documenting his experience as a chemist synthesizing novel psychedelics.

Ask HN: How to find a niche for a side project?
Hi everyone.

I have been thinking of building a fintech product for traders. But I am open to being pointed towards other ideas.

It doesn't have to be much. 12k per year from 1,200 customers paying $10 per year would do it for me. I live in a "third world" country and 12k per year can afford me a comfortable though minimal life.

So my questions for any successful solo devs reading this are;

a) How did you find your niche?

b) What niche should I be looking at?

c) What open problems are out there that a solo dev can work on?

d) Is it okay to share your product? if so please do,
it may help inspire me with my own ideas.
It happens because everyone wants to imagine they're smart and just happen to work for a no name company.

It sounds like we have now entered the parody territory...
Malpractice can be $30-$90k/year for an OB-GYN. Hospitals may cover part of this, but a private practice may not. This is a huge percentage of an OB-GYN salary, and creates negative career satisfaction across the specialty. (As if medical school debt and the residency hazing process were not enough.)

In private practice, OB's also often have to pay for their own tail insurance, which also means if they quit the practice, they have to pay malpractice insurance (basically in perpetuity) to protect against late-arriving lawsuits. This also traps physicians in their job/specialty and makes early retirement challenging.

It's a great system. /s
Without any context on the poster (age, net worth, career status, etc) it's not possible to say anything concrete.

So I'll just speculate. Perhaps the poster is young enough to have entered professsional life after the 2008 crash. If so, they have only experienced a bull market going mostly only up with minor blips. But that's not normal, markets also crash and also sometimes meander down for a long while. Don't ever be invested in a way that such an event will be catastrophic to you.

The dot.com crash turned my ~$1M into about 20K. At least they were options, so wasn't money I really ever had in my hand, but it was still a bummer.

The operational complexity of managing thousands of clusters must be mind boggling. I've been on two projects managing dozens of storage clusters, the second with more data than this in some individual clusters and adding up almost this many total nodes. There were technical problems with scaling up to 10K nodes per cluster, but the operational issues mostly scaled according to number of clusters. For example, how many alerts per hour/day can you stand? Too many and you're overwhelmed; too few and you miss stuff. Walking that fine line became successively more difficult as clusters were added. Same thing with graphs and dashboards. Also, when your storage and IOPS are siloed this much you have no elasticity, so you're going to be chasing capacity or load problems much more often. On the plus side, this probably means each tenant has their own cluster, so you don't have so many worries about them affecting each other.

The big question I'd have is: how many people (including on client teams) does it take to manage this much sprawl?
1) The wifi system is EMC certified and tested with the flight instrumentation. Dozens of different consumer devices are not.

2) Lufthansa "allows it during the entire flight without restriction – even during take-off and landing unless the crew instruct otherwise"(https://bluetoothtechworld.com/can-i-use-bluetooth-headphone...). In other words, unless you're told to turn it off in the event of some problem, which is something you can't do when it's in the luggage hold of the aircraft.

Again, the articles specifies this is about EMC.
