I don't follow. JSON is not really readable. I don't want to see JSON output ever except for script debugging. I want to see well formatted output. But at the same time I want to be able to write something like

ip a | filter "[].address like 192.*"

So when I'm typing `ip a` I expect to get output for human and when I'm piping it to `filter` program, I expect for those programs to exchange with JSON (and ideally `filter` should use some tabular formatting as its human-readable output).

You suggesting that I should write `PREFERRED_OUTPUT_FORMAT=JSON ip a | filter "[].address like 192.*"` but that's really verbose and error-prone. It might work for scripts, but for ad-hoc shell I don't like this approach. Ideally programs should be able to communicate between pipes for their preferred formats.

One tone-deaf employer I worked for:

The production/assembly building would get very hot in the summer. One day, a decision was made to pass out bottles of Gatorade to the workers in the building. The marketing/sales department decided to turn this into a social media 'opportunity', they left their air-conditioned offices to have pictures taken of them handing cold bottles of Gatorade to the production floor employees.

They made it look like an act of charity on LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

What I've seen other employers do is provide large coolers of drinks and cups for employees to have throughout the day when it's very hot out.

Even dumber than that, this happened just weeks after the company removed the soft drink vending machines from the building because of 'health' reasons.

> Our current climate of political polarization makes it easy to think itʻs about the content of the speech, or hate speech, or misinformation, or censorship, or etc etc.

Are we sure that it is not the other way around? Didn't social platforms created or increased polarization?

I always see this comments from social platforms that take as fact that society is polarized and they work hard to fix it, when I believe that it is the other way around. Social media has created the opportunity to increase polarization and they are not able to stop it for technical, social or economic reasons.

It’s the “…and th” that causes my question.
MathML is not really for human to type, just as you rarely type long XML by hand. I don’t see the point of MathML at all.
It sounds like you've identified the issue yourself. You are relying on ordering when processing events. You need to either loosen that requirement or do better testing to prevent head of line blocking.

I don't know much about your application but the fact that you can mitigate the problem by scaling the number of workers suggests that the order requirements might actually be fairly weak. As a worst case outcome you may be able to push all events interdependent to the one with an error to a DLQ using a temporary blacklisting mechanism, but by that stage I think I would just prefer better testing.
> Moderation wouldn’t really be fast enough to stop that

Social media keep using this excuse for not trying. We can moderate spam in emails with a simple naive bayes classifier, why don't we just do that with comments? It could easily classify comments that are part of a bandwagon and flag them automaticly hiding them or for human review.

We are able to moderate email but the concepts we use to do so are never applied to comments, I don't know why, this seems like a solved problem.

Same. My current company has the same problem, which is that they continually layer additional complexity onto their previous architectural mistakes to try and mitigate them. This results in a complicated system where different independent parts all interact with each other like a rube goldberg machine. The dynamics of the resulting system become sort of perilous and unknowable, and it paralyzes future changes because nobody can predict the nth order effects.
A third is to fill a niche. E.g. if there's no "storage library for DigitalOcean Block Storage"[1], one can make it and publish it[2]. It would work as advertised, but maybe do some additional stuff, like sending the API keys to malicious server too. Unknowing developers would be searching, seeing something that promises to solve their problem, and use that.

I haven't encountered this in the wild yet, but IMO it's reasonably easy. More work than typosquatting, for sure, but probably less work than getting a malicious PR accepted in an existing project.

[1] It's just an example, doesn't exist, and if (by now) it does, I never meant to hint it is malicious. DO is just an example, and I have nothing but good to say about their services (and libraries) where they exist.

[2] The example here would be to just copy the S3 library, because DO block storage is fully compatible with S3 API. Which would also be the reason a dedicated library doesn't need to exist.

Just paying Hasura gets you just Hasura (at least before Neon it used to)

NHost gets you Hasura, the underlying postgres db, pre-configured auth with JWTs, blob storage, functions and a client-side library to get all of that working together with nearly zero configuration.

edit: also, Hasura's cheapest offering ($100 / month) is still prohibitively expensive for indie projects (That's just Hasura - you would have to add database costs, auth costs and blob storage costs to that $100).
Not really, a bunch of politicians and journalists decided to go to some rich guys private mansion and now we get to see the fallout of using private property rather than ensuring actual public owned places exist.

You have the theoretical and the applied. Moderators are people. Algorithms are obtuse and bias can be built in. The solution? Various different sites and outlets with different approaches to moderation (or lack there of) allowing for freedom of expression as well as ideologically "safe" areas in the aggregate.

The real threat and conflation of moderation and censorship is when centralized sites like reddit or facebook put a standardize layer that is enforced across topics and domains. When taken to the point of infrastructure removing site's abilities to exist (such as the stormfront having their domain suspended) then we've clearly veered into censorship. People can complain about moderation on a site or forum (I mean I have), but when the moderation is not contained to the forum, and the site seeks to supplant the distributed world wide web itself, then the line is an arbitrary one.
Author here, happy to answer questions
I didn't say "zero censorship." I don't even know what that means for an encyclopedia.

Wikipedia have a model for user generated content. It's much more resilient, open, unbiased and successful than social media. This isn't because they have some super nuanced, single-us distinction between moderation and censorship. They never really needed to split that hair.

They have a model for collaboratively editing an encyclopedia, including lots of details and special cases that deal with disagreement, discontent and ideological battlegrounds.

They also have a different organisational and power structure. Wikipedia doesn't exist to sell ads, or some other purpose above the creation of an encyclopedia. Users/editors have a lot of power. Things happen in the open.

Between those two, they've done much better than Alphabet/FB/Twitter/etc. Wikipedia is the ultimate prize for censorship, narrative wars, disinformation, campaigning, activism and such. Despite this, and despite far fewer resources it outperforms the commercial platforms. I don't think it's a coincidence.

You have jailroots and SELINUX and other such features in Linux, that doesn't make it a "walled garden". As the sibling comment said, it's about who controls the garden and who lets or doesn't let others inside the wall.

Or, better put, this is not like making Linux a "walled garden" but being able to put walls around each app you run - which is different.
Those job ads are both better than my current position. £40k for cross-platform C++ desktop app with both multi-core and distributed parallelism. PhD required. GPGPU experience preferred (notice that it's not CUDA experience because some users have AMD cards). Now, with two consecutive promotions, I could bump my salary up to £50k. Of course, to qualify for the second of those promotions, I need to receive personal commendations from three different professional organizations across at least two different countries.

The most important post in his older thread: https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1514939100444311560

He never ever justifies this point. The world absolutely has not changed in the context of censorship. Censorship apologetics notwithstanding.

The realization is the world changed is a reveal. He as CEO learnt about where the censorship is coming from.

I can't help but mention clickhouse-local tool: https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/utilities/clickhou...

clickhouse-local is a single binary that enables you to perform fast data processing using SQL - effectively database features without a database. This tool supports the full breadth of ClickHouse functions, many popular file formats and recently added automatic schema inference. You can query not only local files, but also remote files (from S3/HDFS/static files accessed by URL). Moreover, clickhouse-local tool has interactive mode where you can create tables, play with data and do almost everything that you can do wih ordinary database. And let's not forget, this tool is written in C++, so it's incredibly fast.

I strongly advise people to not rely on Duplicati. Throughout its history, it's had a lot of weird, fatal problems that the dev team has shown little interest in tracking down while there is endless interest in chasing yet another storage provider or other shiny things.

Duplicati has been in desperate need of an extended feature freeze and someone to comb through the forums and github issues looking for critical archive-destroying or corrupting bugs.

"If you interrupt the initial backup, your archive is corrupted, but silently, so you'll do months of backups, maybe even rely upon having those backups" was what made me throw up my hands in disgust. I don't know if it's still a thing; I don't care. Any backup software that allows such a glaring bug to persist for months if not years has completely lost my trust.

In general there seemed to be a lot of local database issues where it could become corrupted, you'd have no idea, and worse, a lot of situations seemed to be unrecoverable - even doing a rebuild based off the 'remote' archive would error out or otherwise not work.

The duplicati team has exactly zero appreciation for the fact that backup software should be like filesystems: the most stable, reliable, predictable piece of software your computer runs.

Also, SSD users should be aware that Duplicati assembles each archive object on the local filesystem. On spinning rust, it significantly impacts performance.

Oh, and the default archive object size is comically small for modern day usage and will cause significant issues if you're not using object storage (say, a remote directory.) After just a few backups of a system with several hundred GB, you could end up with a "cripples standard linux filesystem tools" numbers of files in a single directory.

And of course, there's no way to switch or migrate object sizes...
I've found that when posting a popular opinion, you can have absolute minimum effort fluff like "racism is bad" and get plenty of upvotes, but for controversial opinions you need to tread extremely lightly. You need disclaimers and careful wording and references etc. to avoid being downvoted. In many cases that's not even enough.

Positive interactions are certainly possible and do happen, but the site is heavily heavily tilted towards groupthink. Fighting it is an uphill battle.
While many YouTube videos provide very interesting content most twitter „threads“ are just inane ramblings by some blue checkmark. So for yt videos I go the extra steps to install an extension. For twitter though? I just close the tab and never return.

I think you’re looking at VR from a point of view that it can do no wrong, for some reason. If VR workouts are so fun, why isn’t there a larger adoption of it? If the social interactions are so incredible, why aren’t people living their lives in VR yet?

The answer is pretty simple… because it’s really not. The experience is 90% novelty and once that wears off you really don’t have much left unless you find a game you really really enjoy.

VR has had enough time to see adoption numbers reach critical mass. They just haven’t. Most people that own them are probably like me and the person who posted their original opinion. They sit and gather dust.

Make a script!
When I was 8 or 9, I would never simply step on or off a curb. That was less fun than hopping or jumping or sliding. I would watch how the people of my neighborhood moved and wondered why so few people over the age of 14 tried to never step on a crack or only step on cracks. Why are there so few 30 year olds doing wheelies on their bike? I couldn't imagine that I would ever want to stop moving through my day in a maximally fun way.

Today I'm 52 and I still watch and think about how people move around. I understand that a 70 year old falling is different than a 10 year old, but I find myself seeing if I can go up or down the stairs four at a time. I have noticed that my flexibility and balance isn't what it used to be and I'm trying to work on that. I know I can only slow my physical decline, but it's worth doing.
I concur. The vast majority of people have the exact opposite problem and sleep too little, therefore the general advice would be to get at least 8h of quality sleep per night.

It threw me off the whole article as well, it's hard to take it seriously when it hits me with "don't sleep too much" in the beginning, especially since I've always been somewhat of an insomniac and I'm intimately familiar with the impact of sleep deprivation across all aspects of one's life.
Yeah, if I remember right, when I was converting some high resolution uncompressed TIFF images to lossless HEIF / HEIC on macOS preview, most of them looked off because colour space conversion was happening (I think from RGB to YUV). (Not to mention many actually failed to convert because none of the HEIF / HEVC encoder I tried could handle very large image sizes). I finally opted for JPEG2000 format to archive those images. I've been waiting for JPEG XL for sometime now to be ready - by my rough calculations, I may be able to get an extra 10 GB space by converting these images to JPEG XL, without any quality loss or issues.

Historically the r/RedditRequest process only considered whether the moderator was completely inactive from Reddit. There could be a dead subreddit that hadn't been touched in years or a flourishing subreddit whose top mod was completely MIA, there was nothing you could do if the top mod was still active on Reddit — even if you could prove they were just squatting.

Not unlike domain squatting.

You may also want to have a look at the DuckDB command line client [1]. The shell itself is based on the SQLite client, and DuckDB can be used to natively query CSV and Parquet files. Using extensions, DuckDB can also query SQLite and Postgres databases, and query files over HTTPS and S3.

The command line client also has some nifty features like syntax highlighting, and context-aware auto-complete that is coming in the next release.

Ask HN: What are your life simplicity hacks?

I remember when I started using Reddit, I've read the instructions (as one does, right? RIGHT?), one of which was that you're not supposed to downvote something you don't like, rather downvoting is for content that doesn't add anything to the conversation (I think that may have been a tooltip for the downvote arrow). So I wrote some unpopular opinions like for example I compared adblock to piracy with some arguments for why it's similar and… Got downvoted to hell! :D

This experience as well as a rather low discussion level on Reddit made me resign from using it. Hard to find a replacement, however; I like to use Stack Exchange, as a very dry form of communication that focuses on merit.
>Really wish the cops would download a list of who installed this app and find their location data on top of a map of reported thefts...

This would be a massive time unless their goal is to find and harass every small time used car parts dealer.

Thieves don't really care about precise prices on cats. They just know that certain year/make/model ranges are what to go after.

The target market of this app is people who sell used car parts for money and want to know the value of the parts. When you are buying a random car for $500-1k with the intent of selling wheels/tires and a couple other big ticket items before scrapping the car for a couple hundred you care a lot about whether the cat is $200 or $1200 for obvious reasons.
I think it's really, really important to be careful with words when discussing things like this.

PPI did not estimate that 400,000 are currently incarcerated for drug possession. They estimated that 400,000 are currently incarcerated for drug related crimes. In the state system, among people convicted (again, we agree about bail reform, so I wasn't talking about the 500,000 people not convicted, and fed is a totally different animal so focused on what is most likely), only 40,000, according to the PPI estimates, are there for drug possession.

And again, though yes, entering someone's home at night for the purpose of theft is considered a violent crime in some jurisdictions, 600,000 people are estimated to be incarcerated in state prison for violent crimes - of those, maybe you could say that there is an exaggeration in some of the 120k there for robbery. According to that PPI sheet, 140,000 or so are in state prison for murder.

Removing those currently incarcerated while awaiting trial, you have 1.5 million in all prisons and a 453/100k incarceration rate. That's about 4X Canada's. Removing all drug convictions, not just possession, would decrease that number to about 1.25 million. To match Canada's rate, we'd need to have about 350k incarcerated individuals; right now, according to that PPI sheet, we have about 290,000 incarcerated for rape/sexual assault, murder, and manslaughter alone.

There are some neat ideas raised by Yishan.

One is 'put up or shutup' for appeals of moderator decisions.

That is anyone who wishes to appeal needs to also consent to have all their activities on the platform, relevant to the decision, revealed publicly.

It definitely could prevent later accusations of secretiveness or arbitrariness. And it probably would also make users think more in marginal cases before submitting.
