Google's internal source repository client CitC (client in the cloud) behaves this way for your entire workspace, forever.

It was so freeing - every single file save, delete, move and so on was saved without user intervention.

Realize that you were barking up the wrong tree for 2 days? Simply go into .snapshots and the entire workspace from before would be there.

This interface composed so well with other tools you could do a parallel bisection test across every prior state of your workspace and find the minute where you made an edit that broke some functionality. All on the cloud.

I miss this tool very much. No amount of git commit discipline can emulate it.
Someone needs to make a user-friendly (AKA democratic) social media platform, compared to the autocratic, user-hostile platforms we're forced to use.

I don't hate Instagram because of the ads, I hate Instagram because they force "suggested posts" into my feed that I don't want to see. At least YouTube isn't inserting videos into my subscriptions.

YouTube search, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They're all terrible because they don't give me any power to find the videos/content I actually want to watch.
We definitely store PII as we have to store users emails an even phone numbers.

So we basically need to migrate to a EU based could provider ASAP?

Would this privacy shield 2 fix this problem? I suppose we can’t just wait for that.
Other browsers can still add JPEG XL support and that would put pressure on Chrome to do the same. They just don't want to be the first mover.
The comment you're replying to is talking about discussion of the experience (hopefully after the fact). I don't think that they're claiming the bodies are being disrespectfully handled. I'm assuming they're talking about the black humor people use to cope with being surrounded by illness and death.

Mom's a nurse, so it never struck me as odd or mean-spirited. It finally dawned on me when she cracked a joke in response to a question grandma asked about a work story mom was telling at a family get-together. It went over grandma's head, thankfully. It was a pretty good pun, but I think that was the first time I realized that not everyone is used to that sort of talk.
Replacing Postgres with rqlite, the lightweight, distributed DB built on SQLite
No, how? To you maybe it is (as would ANY anecdote here not directly related by an anatomy student -- and maybe not even then, because what proof do you have that they are telling the truth?), but to me it's not: I spoke with the student directly, and with the doctors in my second example; in both cases, the person I was talking to was directly engaged in the behavior. So not "a friend of a friend".

You are justified in being skeptical, but unfortunately you're not going to find the evidence you seek on HN. By definition, the written word here is not going to be proof enough. If the topic interests you enough, I guess you'll have to speak to doctors and students directly?

A Short Gamma-Ray Burst from a Protomagnetar Remnant
The original comment applies more to humanities and business school than to hard sciences. But it's still relevant in STEM.

> I got my MS CS from Stanford and this is completely false. I did my BS CS at Georgetown, and even between the two there was a huge difference being at Stanford.

Stanford is probably the best-known school in the world for Computer Science. Georgetown (while a great school) is known for its international relations. So I'm not surprised that Stanford had more CS electives, resources, etc.

But the fair comparison here is a school like UC Berkeley, University of Illinois, or [insert flagship state university here]. Is the quality of education really that different vs. Stanford? Or is the Stanford name brand on the resume the differentiator?

Also, a masters program should be harder and more competitive than an undergrad program!

> and more consistently brilliant peers

Exactly. At Stanford, your "consistently more brilliant peers" will be in positions of power down the road. They'll be hiring managers at Google and Apple in <5 years.
in relation to twitter, the juvenile messages exchanged between Musk and former twitter CEO are also revealing https://fortune.com/2022/09/30/elon-musk-friendly-text-messa...
I increasingly despair over the possibility of any new image format getting traction. That means support in web browsers (functionally, Chrome) and on desktop (Windows explorer, etc.). WebP is probably the one that's advanced the furthest but AFAIK it doesn't even get thumbnailed in the Windows file browser and normies absolutely hate it since it won't work everywhere a PNG or JPEG will.
What they always forget to mention is that not only you have to do things the modern way and avoid mistakes, everyone else contributing to your codebase has to too. Now that's a tall order!
I try not to get any. I have a backup Librem 5 and a SIM card for the one time in the year when I have no other choice.
Well in fairness when WebP support was added in Chrome over 10 years ago it was a massive, massive improvement over the existing image formats that were being commonly used on the web.

JPEG XL's problem is that WebP has now existed for 10 years and has widespread support.
I don't hate Musk, I criticize his actions. Especially when he proclaims a strict ideological reason for those actions and vacates that strict ideology whenever it's inconvenient.

Free speech absolutism does nothing to fight spam, impersonation for sake of parody, or bots. So whatever he says, this ain't free speech absolutism.

We won't stop criticizing Musk. It's our right to criticize him. With great power comes great responsibility, and he's completely failing at responsible stewardship of the alleged "town square" that he just bought. I've lost count of how many times he's changed course on verification in the, what, two weeks since he bought it? He's earned heaping disdain and ridicule.

And two of my friends are getting fired because they live in cities without a twitter hq to drive to. Yeah. People hate that for some reason. Weird.
Mastodon should probably throttle signups by default so new users can't pile on to servers.
People like those you listed rarely run the world.
> We've also heard from our browser and device partners that every additional format adds costs (monetary or hardware), and we’re very much aware that these costs are borne by those outside of Google

To add some info, JPEG XL can still be enabled on the latest Edge, Opera, and Firefox Nightly versions. It can be enabled on Chrome 91 - 110 (not included).
Lithium is non-renewable (we have a finite supply of it), but it's also not a consumable so this is rather less of an issue. Lithium in batteries is more comparable to steel in car bodies than fossil fuels.
The people in physics and engineering don't govern.
That seems like a rather high bar to reach given that almost every other format got to do it the other way around (browser support before hardware level encoders etc).
The most fascinating aspect of the incident to me is that the Edmund Fitzgerald was 728' long and sank in 535 feet of water. One video I saw analyzing the sinking showed that it was possible the ship's bow was forced down hit the bottom with 200' or so still above the surface.
I think you should read up on some of these men’s thoughts on things other than physics and reconsider your point.
- EU is not fooled at all and ends the privacy shield

This is not entirely correct, the EU kept on pretending for a while that the problem didn't exist, until Max Schrems (from noyb.eu) forced a court ruling on the inadequacies of the Privacy Shield agreement. As shown on their homepage, NOYB does a lot more than just investigate EU-US data transfers.

Just to be clear on this point — you think that the healthcare industry optimizes for inefficiency?

Edit: After looking at your post history, I realize you just want to tell people they are wrong and you are smarter than them. Don’t bother responding, I don’t care what you have to say.
So now we are no longer interested in having an honest assesment in case he gets offended?

Assuming our enemies are just insane is a cop out. It diverts a lot of attention away from how horribly unprepared the west was to deter a military invasion of Ukraine, which is something no one wants to talk about.
IANAL. Although I imagine you could, presumably they'd argue that (while your parking tickets are unpaid) they have a legal basis other than consent for processing your personal data. In that case, you'd probably have to find grounds for erasure other than withdrawal of consent. 1d or 1e of Article 17 look most relevant (but maybe not very promising):

These technical solutions are great, but the biggest need is still organizational. We need infrastructure with transparent open governance, a la Debian.

Is anyone aware of an org that hosts an instance but is also putting work into the governance side?
Yeah, all countries should just fix their legislation to be compatible with the EU one. Is it so hard?
The correct solution would be to set up as a EU company that is in charge and runs everything and controls all the EU data, which only uses cloud services operated by companies that do not have any US based parent company, grandparent company, etc. (Ideally only using crowd services from EU companies whose whole ownsership chain remains in the EU, as that keeps things simple).

One could retain a US subsidiary, which might handle US or even all non-EU data.

Unfortunately it is not clear if an American individual could own or control the EU parent company. It depends on if the owner could be considered "A provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service", because if so, they could subpena you personally, on basis that you control the EU company and thus the information is within your control.

The relevant part of the law is:

> A provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service shall comply with the obligations of this chapter to preserve, backup, or disclose the contents of a wire or electronic communication and any record or other information pertaining to a customer or subscriber within such provider’s possession, custody, or control, regardless of whether such communication, record, or other information is located within or outside of the United States.
Shorts is extremely frustrating and has nothing I would have ever asked for or desired.

Further it decreases the likelihood that I would consider paying for YouTube services.

I was almost ready to try a paid version when Shorts starting showing up with a totally unfamiliar and unwelcome UX. Completely unattractive and therefore NOISE.
The bots are real people, and the parody accounts are backed by real people too. This isn't a hate boner, but more of me acknowledging that what's happening is what everyone said would happen. Which is absolute free speech on such a platform would run head long into reality and require the business to pull back. Which is exactly what they are doing.
>Afghanistan is landlocked

Which is not that great if you intend to export raw bulk goods (e.g. ore). You really want to have ports for that. The extra few percent efficiency of ship vs rail makes a huge difference because margin is so thin.
This stuff just worries me so much. These people are looked up to as some gods of business, insight, or whatever. Even I have been guilty of getting caught up and being jealous of these younger people with so much apparent success. But then you find out, in gory detail, about just how much bullshit it all is, and that these people are just from elite circles who got handed keys to the Lamborghini after just playing with a Tonka truck. I mean, just hearing these people speak is cringe. They don’t understand how anything actual works. I can’t believe that something that literally stops your losses is not an effective risk management tool.

This is what you find with kids from the elite class. They can take on mind blowing risk because they can fall back on their parents when it fails. People from lower socioeconomic levels cannot do that. Our government sets back and let criminal actions go unpunished, letting people truly treat life as a Monopoly game.
I’ve learned about multiple self-improvement techniques and failed to implement all.

I don’t know why I’ve failed but I have a pet theory: I feel like a failure. I feel that I have capabilities that far exceed my current output - not just in work, but love, friendship, etc. The idea of changing that around (via self-improvement techniques) is incredibly appealing. Thus, I read about self-improvement as a way of escapism. Reading new techniques allows me to think that _this time_ I’m going to turn it around and live a life I’m proud of. But, ultimately, it’s not about reading. It’s about doing. But I can’t do because I have no self-esteem, I’m scared, I’m depressed, and I feel like I’m pretending to be an adult when really I don’t know what’s happening and I’m pathetic.
I'm not a normie, but I also hate WEBP "since it won't work everywhere a PNG or JPEG will" (i.e., an image viewer).
Many people who are in fact awesome have egos. Anybody who follows sports knows this.

Elon as a person certainty has lots of flaws, but he is also quite clearly really good at a lot of things people who try to downplay that and claim its all 'luck' or 'failing upwards' usually just don't like his personality.
Slight counterpoint - I have written Go in the past and now am working with Kotlin and to be honest, I prefer it. I wouldn't mind Kotlin being the new Java rather than Go.
It seems like a fundamental flaw in their business model rather than a market downturn.

This seems like a bigger deal to me because FTX is part of then new wave of crypto companies that were supposed to be legitimising crypto. And even they can't stay afloat. It's just a matter of time before the next crypto giant falls.

What do you mean this knowledge cannot be used?

I’d pick “present - 2150”, but I don’t see how it is possible for me not to use that knowledge.
Well... within the last ~1.5 years, AVIF has become natively supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Windows 1903 with a free Store extension), macOS 13 (no AV1, but yes to AVIF), iOS 16 (no AV1, also yes to AVIF), and Android 12. And in browsers, AVIF won Firefox, Safari, and Chrome all together as a default supported option, JXL did not and was only an optional feature flag in Firefox.

Basically, AVIF won the OS-level support race by a landslide. And then got natively supported in all the common browsers by a landslide. JXL hasn't taken any victories in OS-level support yet, or any victories as an enabled-by-default option in any browser. With the winner increasingly becoming obvious, time to cut the losses on JXL and run. And thus the "we don't need another format" argument when AVIF is clearly winning now.

Part of this may be as well that AVIF is basically just an AV1 still. If you implement AV1, you've got 95% of your AVIF support already done.

Edit: And for those wondering why AVIF won, it might just be timing. The AVIF spec was finalized in 2019, while JXL was only informally finalized in 2020, and had different parts formally finalized in 2021 and 2022. AVIF had the head start and the implementation advantage.

Edit 2 for @jonsneyers: True... but AVIF was ready to go before JXL, and so logically was enabled first. Chrome enabled AVIF before JXL even had an informal spec completed (Chrome enabled AVIF on August 24, 2020; versus, December 24, 2020 for the informal JXL spec being "finished", with formal standardization dragging on into 2021 and 2022). I take that as a sign the JPEG XL team was way too late and needed to be ~2 years quicker. When your competition has literally designed, formalized, implemented, and enabled a spec before you've even finished the informal standard, you're toast.

Edit 3: And a third reason, because I've not found enough already. If you join the AOM, you don't just get patents for AV1 and AVIF - you also get assistance from all the other members to defend AVIF and AV1 from patent lawsuits on any of them. JXL is just Apache 2, which means it is patent-free... from contributors only, outsiders can still sue JXL implementers for patents. As a result, AVIF has a much, much larger stick to hit patent trolls with - definitely preferable for an open format.

Edit 4: Because I'm probably going to reference this post in the future, I guess I'll add yet another reason. AV1 is a new standard being widely worked on and accepted by almost everyone, and AVIF is following. JPEG meanwhile has released JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, JPEG XS, and JPEG XT standards, all of which failed to take off. What makes anyone think that JPEG's "5th time's the charm" replacement for JPEG will be successful? I wouldn't hope in it. Neither, probably, would any other tech company, who would just look at it as the JPEG Forum's latest fad.
In the past 15 years, I’ve had one wrong item shipped by B&H, and they replaced it no problem. Before that I lived in NY and could go to the store and watch stuff zipping around in the overhead baskets. They’re basically my default if I can’t get something like that locally. Local now is usually Microcenter.
I have really enjoyed using it for random scripts and small programs, but it definitely is slower than plain C for simple things like "loop over lines of stdin and do some basic calculations". Of course, you also get a lot of nice abstraction, memory safety, GC, a great standard library, compiler-checked effects (!), less-noisy syntax, and a nice easy compiler CLI, and that's a tradeoff I'm happy to make. Not to mention that I would feel much more comfortable writing a bigger application in Nim than in C.

Musk's true face is revealing itself. A heavily narcissist, egomaniac and empathy-less person. On one end selling himself as the saviour of humanity, while on the other firing swatchs of people and making others work 80-hour weeks.

He's just a hypocrite... and his hypocricy is now visible, in open.
> So we basically need to migrate to a EU based could provider ASAP?

Sadly no because you still own the data, which is the criteria the US has decided on.

> Would this privacy shield 2 fix this problem?

No idea since at this point it's merely a name for a vague demand being asked by the US.

I'm sorry for the trouble this whole situation causes to your company, though to be honest as you can imagine I am very glad that my representative in the EU didn't back down and protect my rights.
If withdrawals are open, then it seems FTX.us still has all its customers assets and can return them, but will not be able to pay its own bills for hosting, staffing, etc. in the very near term. So yesterdays statement that it wasn't affected by the loss of funds implosion would be accurate, but if the business was reliant on funding from other operations to survive, it can still go bankrupt.

People get all antsy in their pantsy and can't read nuance.
I’ll betcha any fleet with more than 100 machines in it hasn’t been tuned at a low level and could be 1-10 machines if so. That’s probably worth it. But you can’t convince an accountant that you can make money by spending it and at a certain size the accountants make the decisions.
To someone coming from C, C++, or Java, the idea that a newline would change the meaning is completely novel. And Go has the same "flavor" as those languages, so most people would expect Go to behave the same unless the difference were called out very explicitly.
Interesting. I wonder how Drew will respond. On one side I commend his decision to purposely make the language only compatible with free operating systems and also commend your work in porting the language to macOS in spite of this. If I ever attempt to learn Hare however, I do not intend to do so on a non-free OS.

I do hope that he responds, only because I feel like his work and the activity that it attracts (such as your's) is some of the few things that seem to be resemble something of a contemporary "hacker" spirit.
I might know I have to look at some code or something for a few hours, but looking at my day I know it will be interrupted by meetings and lunch, and that I will probably get Teams messages during the day as well. Even if I have a block of time free, if I know there's a 50% chance I will be interrupted with an issue I don't get started.

So in this scenario what I do working from home is spend a lot of the work day that day doing my laundry or whatnot. Then after 5 PM no one will be interrupting me so I then look at the code. I probably do this at least one day every week. Maybe I shift the schedule around - I work Tuesday night and do my laundry Wednesday afternoon. This is a scenario where the interruption is fully external.

If I am not being interrupted...some things I sometimes have to kick myself to do at first, but then I can go for an hour or more. This would include going to the gym, or, I don't know, studying what a monad is. I just have to determine I'll start doing, but once I am doing it I am not distracted.

The last thing that I have to kick myself doing even while doing it. I sometimes had to do this in college - I had to do a lot of studying for something which was not my major, which I did not care much about etc., and it was purely to pass the class and get a grade. Actually these things used to get a lot of other things on my things to do list done - I'd say, I will clean the living room tonight, not study Lewis structures or whatever. There's not much solution to this other than just kicking yourself back to the task.

While things being as they currently are we always have to kick ourselves a little to do some things the whole way through. At some level it becomes psychologically untenable and you just have to face the fact that you don't enjoy doing whatever. For example - at college I enjoyed most of my Computer Science classes, reading the material, doing the homework etc. I even enjoyed some of the books we'd be assigned in English classes and that sort of thing. Some classes I did not care about, and had to kick myself to study. But that is normal. However, if I was not interested in computer science and had to kick myself to study everything, it becomes more untenable. It's not going to work psychologically or in general. Although in retrospect, some things I didn't realize the use of until later. Like my graph theory class I generally found boring, but then my next class was a data structure class where I made use of nodes and trees and graphs, and the graph theory came in handy.

Also - as some other people here said - wake up after a good sleep, shower, have a clean environment around you, eat decent foods, get a good deal of cardiovascular exercise etc. Take at least one day a week to just relax.
Sometime ago I worked for a start-up and the manager of the team was the one I remember the most. Instead of dictating, countering bossing etc, this person use to listen with patience and then ask questions slowly nudging team members in the right direction. This is a very rare trait to find in a person. In my professional experience people with this trait are actually very intelligent.
