It's curious to see news about many database products that have come out only recently, since in my personal experience I've seen some companies and their products just evaporate (for example, Clusterpoint a number of years back).

Of course, if there's a sufficient amount of hype/mindshare from the industry towards a certain technology, it feels like the critical mass of attention might perhaps be there to sustain the projects and ensure adoption that's widespread enough for the companies behind them to profit and stay around.

It's also nice to see mentions of MySQL, albeit sadly there's nothing of MariaDB, which has become the "replacement" for MySQL in some projects out there due to the pretty good compatibility: https://mariadb.org/

They even seem to have their own cloud offering, though I cannot comment on it personally (it feels enterprisey and generally I run my own DBs, or let someone manage them in other projects): https://mariadb.com/products/skysql/

Though it's also nice to see PostgreSQL remain popular and it's generally one of the better options for most of the projects out there in my eyes. It has decent tooling, good driver support and lots of useful functionality and plugins (things like PostGIS, for example). I think the article puts it nicely, even if someone could nitpick about the wording:

> PS is batteries included. When a company chooses PG, it gets a database with OLTP, OLAP, Document (JSON-B), FTS (tsvector/tsquery), Time-series (TimescaleDB), Geospatial (PostGIS), Multi-tenancy capabilities (batteries included). To summarize it in a simple formula:

> PostgreSQL = MySQL + Poor man version of (ClickHouse + MongoDB* + Elasticsearch + InfluxDB) + Geospatial + Multi-tenancy

Then again, I come from Latvia and generally the technology choices that I've seen are a bit on the "boring" side (which isn't always a bad thing). Lots of PostgreSQL, some MySQL (sometimes MariaDB), though also proprietary offerings like Oracle DB or MS SQL in enterprise projects. Here, certain solutions are comparatively rare, like MongoDB, Redis or RabbitMQ/Kafka.

CockroachDB, ClickHouse, Yugabyte, CouchDB and a bunch of others are basically unheard of. I suspect that in certain capacity it's "Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM", in part the fact that the tech scene here is lukewarm at best and people aren't interested in experimenting that much, or maybe just choose whatever has worked decently in the past.

I wonder whether one can read more into this trend, with countries like mine being a few years behind in adoption of certain new things. Only recently (the past few years) seeing Kubernetes at scale comes to mind.

Oh, I also have to support the argument that SQLite is pretty nice for simpler setups, or as an application format. My homepage actually runs on SQLite, since it doesn't need to scale much.
Anything that hardware can do to improve the situation? How about pointer authentication or memory tagging? Do these measures also fall into the band-aid category?
Even though the main site isn’t really actively being developed anymore, the Pins for Pinboard iOS is a third-party app that is continuously getting updates and is very polished. If it weren’t for this very functional and pretty app I probably would be more annoyed.

Oh I know, and I'll develop in .NET if I want to build something for Windows/Mac/Linux. (Similarly I've been hosting personal dotnet applications in Linux, although I've been building them on Windows/Mac. As someone who started back in .NET 2.0, it's amazing.)

But if I'm looking for a tool someone else built, .NET options are usually pretty slim.
ouch okay lol good burn. I like your love of the English language you taught me some interesting words.
The answer actually isn’t that you need days of storage. A researcher I follow on Twitter here in Australia called David Osmond has been running a simulation for over a year that scales up the wind and solar we have to the levels we would need to achieve around 100% renewable energy, and using real time data simulates storage requirements.

He’s found that for the NEM grid in Australia at least, just six hours of storage can bring us to over 99% of demand being provided by renewables and storage over a month, almost every month. On a weekly basis, some weeks it’s 100%, but worst case will be something like two or three percent being provided by something like gas turbines over the week.

We have more pumped hydro coming online and will have more in the future, so not all those six or so hours worth will be chemical batteries.

Part of what makes this work is because on the eastern seaboard, often it might be, for example, windy in northern Queensland while it’s calm in South Australia, so being interconnected helps a lot. At this point we really don’t have (and it’s not simulating) any kind of serious demand management (apart from in emergencies, but I’m talking everyday kind of management), which could potentially remove some of the need for gas peaking. We also don’t have any offshore wind yet (legislation only legalised it last year and there are some early projects). As some of that offshore generation comes online with better capacity factors than onshore, it will likely make things more consistent.
This top down regulation is why we're not giving ourselves brain damage from breathing in fumes from leaded petrol.

Goroutine alone is a great feature.

> limited language features

That is by design and I like that. I was a C# developer and seem how C# has evolved, I'm glad that go keeps it simple.

> Lack of docs, broken and confusing functionality

Docs for me are just fine, never had a problem. Could you give an exemple of "broken and confusing functionality"? I really like the cli ux and the its std lib, it is really complete from my point of view, so I'm curious to hear from someone with another point of view.
> No, there is no undo "tree", nor any complicated graphical user interface to go with. ... You've got your undos, your redos, and that's it. The underlying data structure is strictly linear, but all edit states are preserved and reachable ...

This is exactly how Emacs works!

Emacs has worked like this since its beginning in 1980s. It was even documented in the first manual (1981):

This might seem to pile one disaster on another, but it doesn't, because vou can always Undo the Undo if it didn’t help. (page 137 of manual)

I think there needs to be some sort of computing and software history lessons. It can offer great value in the current world of software development. It will save you from the trouble of rediscovering techniques that are already in use in classic battle-tested software.

(And really? You need to invent a cheesy acronym for this? If that's what it takes to sell the obvious these days, how about SLUR - Simple Linear Undo Redo?)
We have already moved on, and a case like this would no longer be regarded as unusual, let alone difficult. In the process, something like what you propose arose, in the form of liability insurance. The system works reasonably well, in that there are a lot fewer hard cases without creating a crippling burden in the average case.

If anything, this case, together with the way things have changed since then, demonstrates that there is often a good deal of subjectivity in what constitutes a 'hard' case.
The best form of history, undo and redo I've used is on hte various Jetbrains editors. It's a feature called Local History and is insanely useful.

1. It's always on. It never requires an explicit save or commit;

2. It automatically saves any changes and timestamps them;

3. You can view the state of a file or a tree at any moment in time and then pull out that file (or tree).

4. If you do that, it becomes part of the temporal history so you can always go back.

I find this completely natural because usually when it's necessary you think "Oh I need to unwind most of what I did in the last hour" or "I changed something I shouldn't have yesterday". You're not thinking about a line (or a tree) of changes. You're thinking about times and possibly ordering ("I changed X right before I changed Y").

Many of the animals in well-run (AZA-accredited) zoos are rescues that were injured in some way or another. They're given the best food they can eat, do not have to worry about predators, and receive amazing treatment throughout their entire stays. So I'd like to think that "locked up" is better than "dead" in this instance.

In addition, zoos are also responsible for re-populating vulnerable or endangered species. Zoos spend a lot of money on this. They also return healthy animals back into the wild in service of this.

See the AZA's standards on animal care here: https://www.aza.org/animal-management?locale=en

As far as looking at a tiger for the 200th time goes, I mean, I never get tired of the dumb shit one of our cats does, and we've seen him way more than 200 times now! (We got him at three months old; he's 8 now.) I love getting glimpses into other animals that you would normally never see!

Now, there are definitely shitty zoos that actually do capture and lock up animals purely for entertainment, with patrons none the wiser to it. The most popular "aquarium" in Houston, for example, is actually a restaurant and is not AZA-accredited, which is usually (not always) an indicator that the animals are abused and mistreated.
> ... as in a page request?

Yup.

> Why not just rerender to HTML on developer change?

Because that's not how the Fossil SCM renders content. It has a cache, but only for certain high-CPU data like generation of zip files of the source tree. Caching markdown docs wouldn't work in all cases, anyway: when you link to a ticket, for example, it gets rendered differently depending on whether it's opened or closed. Thus the renderer has to know the current status of any fossil-internal constructs a doc links to. Of course, we could say "just update the cache of all docs which link to a ticket every time the ticket is updated," but That Way Lies Madness. In an Enterprise-level system that would possibly be worth doing. For the Fossil SCM it's overkill.

Though re-rendering on every page hit _sounds_ bad, we've been doing it in the Fossil SCM since it went into being and it has never caused us any undue performance issues. Every doc you see on <https://fossil-scm.org/home>, as opposed to the non-doc URIs, is served directly from the SCM db and all (or very close to all) of it is either markdown or Fossil's older/original wiki format, both rendered on demand. CPU load is minimal and rendering is "fast enough" for everything we've ever done with it.
I recently started to play with BigQuery for the first time and it is kind of an unreal piece of software. I've been able to ingest and query hundreds of GB of data in a matter of seconds.
I really want "Botched by Babish" section from the "Binging with Babish" to make a comeback.
I've been recording chemicals relevant to different communities for a little while. I finally kind of culminated all my data and indexed it for people to see what chemicals are inside of stuff that we use on a regular day basis. I've been trying to map it out to a common name so everyone can understand too. Albeit though there are a bunch of outliers. Enjoy!
ClickHouse is ridiculously fast, and its architecture is versatile while still being easy to setup. Its just a very well made product.

You'd think a course that advertises how to style for mobile would look good on a mobile device. You'd think.
Very clear, thanks. Indeed the root of the problem is another, as you suggest. Still the branches can get more nuanced, IMHO beyond what people usually considers. While voting from anywhere via postal or electronic service is oversll not a matter of discussion, doing it from such a delicate and nuanced situation is IMHO a completely different matter.
Both probably! The movies made hacking look inspiring and hackers were a source of inspiration with movie makers/writers.
In very big cities, this is a huge gamble on top of being a lot of faith put into a stranger.

> you can't reduce sum consumption if population keeps growing, as there is a lower bound on the amount of consumption a single person can live off

And yet people in rich countries consume many times more resources than people in the "global south". The USA's 200M citizens consume more overall than India's 1100M, for one of the extreme examples. So there is quite a bit of room for degrowth in the global north without requiring depopulation.
> suburbs are perfectly walkable anywhere in the northeast. Cities less so due to crime

This isn't true. I've lived in and visited plenty of northeastern suburbs and cities. The suburbs are largely not walkable: no sidewalk, long distances, and as a result basically nobody walks to any shop. The cities are walkable and with a large amount of residents actually walking.
VS Code has that feature too, but only for individual files.
Yeah, they are cropping landscape videos 90% of the time. Maddening.
Additionally, emacs will filter undo/redo’s to changes within a region. If you select a region (no new command to learn) and use undo/redo, it will only perform those that affect text completely within the region. This is a superpower that delights me each time use it.
Ok you then make an agreement with another bank and that constraint is literally irrelevant.
> Telling people that they simply don't have the personality to do science if they aren't allowing themselves to be abused is unhealthy.

The purpose of a PhD/doctoral degree is to boostrap a career in science. The positions there are highly competitive (not to mention that few tenure track and tenure positions that are available). If you don't work insanely hard, you are out.

Better tell people the harsh truth upfront instead of this insane feel-good and you-can-do-it nonsense, which often sooner than later leads to the problem that students are not prepared for the hard reality that they will get to see.

Bankman-Fried’s Assets Plummet from $16B to Zero in Days
One of the neat ways to stay focused is through a technique called body doubling! ( https://doubleapp.xyz/blog/how-to-body-double ) Having another person around really creates a unique encouragement to keep on your own task at hand.

Also a critical part is not necessarily focusing for long periods of time, but to make the focused time more mindful with breaks in between. For instance, Itzhak Perlman (arguably one of the best violinists of all time) frequently emphasized that pros should practice between 3 and 5 hours a day just due to the fact that after that point the body can't absorb any more. He also emphasizes breaks too; instead of one full hour, do 50 minutes on / 10 minutes off.
so i know also from personal experience that inheritance existed. when my grandfather (certainly not some high ranking party member) passed away in the mid 80s the rights to the apartment went to my grandmother. she was in retirement at the time. my uncle also lived with her at the time. he was a university student. besides having this social apartment my grandfather and my grandmother also built a house in a village near by. when the system collapsed and after the war there was a buy program similar to what you describe and she was able to purchase the apartment
It’s not a question at all. Fraud endangers the generation of wealth because that requires trust in society.
It feels weird for you to address one positive comment here but not any of the folks saying they’re running into persistent issues with both their accounts and with attempting to get a response from support.
Last time I checked the API was very restrictive towards building custom clients that are somewhat complete. There was no endpoint for getting the subscription feed and the discussion about it had been open for years already. So you have to use a lot of quota to construct it manually. iirc they had some weird rules about caching the results of API calls as well, but I could be mistaking that with something else.

While I opened this thread I felt an restless rage rising at yet another fuck the user decision from Google, but this joke made me laugh and defused the situation. Thanks. The Macbook won't be thrown across the room in a fit of nerdrage today.
Yep, I use Apple Time Machine for much the same purpose. Once you've set it up, it's always on, you can just go back in time (the granularity is once per hour, but that's been enough every time I've needed to use it) and restore (or make a copy of) any file or folder. Saved me quite a few times when Git has let me down.

No. If you see the quotes of the founders in the same article, a few have clearly discussed how the books had an impact on their business strategy. This is what I truly found insightful.
The person being cut up is not hurt, they gave their consent to be cut up. So why should third parties intervene? Of course if there is a shortage of dead bodies, medical students should be prioritized, but why not also open it to everyone. In fact, it is better IMO to have this regulated by universities as those will help with maximizing the learning, and ensure it happens in a respecting environment.
I agree. What I don't understand is why don't they make these features they removed available in their paid plans. As much as I'd hate to admit it, I would probably pay to have these removed features and more.

No question the alternative services will do it better. The problem is there are so many channels, comments and videos of historical interest on YouTube. And many curious types like me get their kicks from seeing how far we've come, or enjoying old classics.
