Are you referring to Zapier & IFTTT?

I find them quite limited but I understand the need and also that not everyone can parse a structured response. It's nice that they have free versions though.

Although more complicated to use but also free, I get a lot more functionality from PythonAnywhere, Cloudflare Workers or Oracle Cloud free tier.

I considered different ways of comparison here, and decided to go with a simple comparison on sample dataset, just to get a feel of it. I did consider doing it all in Python, but then it’s not fair towards Memgraph. Also, it depends on the query we are performing. I could have run a much more complicated query which would give better results, but then again it wouldn’t be fair. If I removed the time counted for filling the digraph, then just the pure algorithm time would be calculated, and the main difference between NetworkX and Memgraph is that Memgraph offers persistance, while NetworkX always has to load the graph into memory. It can be further discussed what would be the best way to do a true benchmark and on what kind of dataset. I did not go into details of the graph type here, but there are for sure cases where Memgraph outperforms NetworkX on much higher scale and on certain graph types. I didn’t claim that we are 5 times faster in any case, just in this certain case. When I do a proper benchmark in the future, I will make sure to be as fair as possible to both sides, and of course to showcase better when to use Memgraph, and when NetworkX, since it all depends on your needs.

Also, thanks for reading it, it means a lot to hear such comment. I get to learn from it too :)

Haskell is a language standard, and GHC is an implementation of that standard. It may be the only one (not sure the status of Hugs, another implementation), but that's the difference, I believe.
It certainly can but an independent Scotland would not automatically be a member of the EU.

They would have had to apply for membership and even though it would have certainly been speedrun (unless the UK would have been petty and tried to block their admittance) there would still have been some turmoil until they were admitted.

And now they got the turmoil without any option of being part of the EU.

Edit: proper tenses so it's clear this is with regards to how the situation was for the referendum of 2014.
I agree, but I think things will likely change soon. The main thing holding progress in this field seems to be privacy issues and sending data to the cloud. However, we already have human-level voice transcription that you can run on a low-to-moderate hardware at home, so all it takes is for the average developer to be able to run GPT-like LLMs on their machine. At this point I think the quality will improve really fast.
Ha yeah. Honestly though if Nicola Sturgeon had the sort of control of Scottish politics (and "popularity") that Putin does in Russia or Orban in Hungary, then some kind of escalation could have been on the table. But I imagine she knows that making any kind of move like that would be political suicide and would kill off a lot of the hard-won support for independence that they've grown over the years.
Designers to design, draughtspeople to draught, archivists to archive.

Engineering entails a lot of secretarial work that has been "streamlined" by expecting engineers to do it themselves rather than employing professional secretaries to do so. The end result is that it is often left un-done.

The "enforcers" you talk about are basically secretaries, no? Trained individuals with enough understanding of the work at hand to record and file it in a context-aware manner.

Reminds me of the "surgical team" model from The Mythical Man Month [1] wherein there is a suite of people provided to every engineer to minimise their work outside of design and implementation. (At least that's how I remember it, it's a few years since I read it)

Everyone calls it piracy, including the people who are active in the 'unauthorized copying' community. I'm not sure what's your objective in this discussion.
If you squint your eyes, sure, but if you’re looking at the details of something like Django or Rails you’re still having to wire up your own analytics, A/B testing, user permissions, headless browser testing… first, why not make all of these language features?

Second, when you wire up a web server module with a SQLite module with a JSON module and translate between them in Ruby or Python you’re taking a really big performance hit. Just think about how many times something is being translated into an unused intermediate state because that just happens to be how the ready-made pipes are sized.

I’m saying, let’s build a bunch of ready-made pipes that are built specifically for SQL backed HTTP servers and with the features that we all seem to use on every project.

The end result should make it easier and faster to build a more performant web application.

As much as I appreciate the topic, I fear this will be one of those 14 to 15 standards transitions. The proposal is complex in that it proposes three time units.

I see a lower-bound case for two: sun/Earth time and universal time. Farmers must be able to express "I will plant seeds at noon on August 29, 2329". They care about how the sun affects Earth. The worker trying to schedule a meeting is the same, because they'll want to guarantee the meeting happens during daylight. As such, I find the obsession over "always use Unix timestamps" a bit weird. Yeah, they're simple, but semantically wonky for some practical things. Everyone else, dealing with durations and time deltas unrelated to geological conditions want TAI.

For the farmer, the problem is the Gregorian calendar is deeply flawed/inaccurate, not that UTC has/had a leap second. Sun and Earth rotations are not aligned, so we cannot expect these to line up. We need year, day of year and time of day. The year is just the "number of solar turns" integer. The first and last day of the year would have to be cut up in unsavoury ways to account for misalignment. The time of day only needs to line up with Earth's rotation, but this means the speed relative TAI will need to shift as Earth is affected/slowed by the universe. (Now, I would suggest making the clock zenith based on something around the poles or leaning of the Earth axis, to end the Greenwich bias: that's pretty damn arbitrary.)

In the early and middle 1950s, my parents (and eventually I) lived in Washington, DC. My father later said that it was not hard to spot CIA employees at parties. When asked what they did, they'd get a slightly embarrassed look and say, I work for the government. (Now I wonder whether the looks were all slightly embarrassed: I'd have supposed that some of them were smug.)

The CIA did try to recruit him--it had geologists--it had more or less everybody. But it was known for cheaping out on technical staff, offering them a GS-x, then, when the scientist had left the old job and was in town, saying that the budget had been cut--which never, ever, happened in those days--and offering instead a GS-(x-2).

Siri never triggers when I'm driving, it just doesn't hear me. I think it's because of the noise of the car or because of my music, but it doesn't work. I have to move my face closer to my phone so that it can hear me, but that's even more dangerous than using the controls.

Same when I'm in the shower and I ask it to change the music, it doesn't hear me, I have to shout and get angry every time.

If people are too stupid to understand pollution is bad and should be reduced (most people will agree to this, just talk to them about it in a garage with the door shut and a truck running inside), how are they going to understand climate change, which is a more obscure term without a direct meaning?

As an extreme example, you would consider Einstein to be easily manipulated? He was certainly one of the greatest independent thinkers.

I think you're talking about the people that go against the mainstream ideas and authorities. It's very difficult to create an opinion about these people, because they might be right or they might be wrong or might be right/wrong 50% of the time. I cant really tell, and it changes all the time and also depends in which country/society you live.

All i can say is, questioning authorities is a good thing. As Einstein said: blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth

Evernote started out good then got bloated and crap and reduced the number of devices you could sync for free.

Todoist started out great and had promise but blocked a bunch of features behind premium.

I finally settled on orgmode as well. For work and personal.

I found the best way for me was to just have a giant .org file with everything in it.

At the top level I have * 2021 and * 2022 and then keep monthly subdivisions.

Other things get their own top level node like reading lists etc.

The great thing about orgmode is it can be the dumping ground for everything. If you make something a TODO then it shows up in the agenda view and you can see everything that is going on (across all the subdivisions and even in multiple different files).

But it can also be the place where you keep your longer form writing, your evergreen notes etc.

I have a * how to do stuff in emacs top level node for example.

I hope that, when they redefine UTC, they define a new name for it. UTC has been the same timescale since it started; the history of redefinitions of GMT is a horror-story.

I guess what I'm really saying is that UTC-without-LS won't be UTC; rather, we'd declare that the new universal civil-time timescale is to be UTC-without-LS. You could carry on computing old-fashioned UTC after the transition; but one wouldn't generally use UTC to render civil-time for display.

As the only person on my team who routinely documents my work (or at least who does so in a place visible to others), I definitely agree. I get very tired of people asking me things about my work where the reply is "it's in the docs, please check here: <link>." Makes me feel like a directory.

I absolutely love your thinking. What you propose does is defang the programmability aspect into an inert (but safer) "text-based" form.

But which side should assume the responsibility of this JS-defanging effort into text-based? Client or server? Postal said "be liberal in what you receive and conservative in what you send". So, being conservative (in this respect), server has to be minimalistic (including denial of programmability).

Real problem remains, too much accessibility of programming is being made available to let client-side take it in ... in a gullible way.

And no amount of Sideshow Barker (not a dig on HN's Sideshow Barker) can fix this, until one of the MAANG decides "enough".

Agree 100%. I realize my comment sounded like a flippant dismissal because, well, that's what the internet does, but I meant that this phrasing works on Alexa and maybe also on Google. Siri answers by telling me it's clear and 36 degrees, FWIW. What's the wind speed today? worked for Siri, but its voice response isn't the wind speed but "it looks completely calm right now". Did I ask for your opinion, Siri?

A lot of apps have tie-ins to Siri but it's very hard to discover them and understand how to use them. I think the negotiation of the shared language between us and our robot servants/friends/overlords is going to be difficult until we can answer that question.

The reason why there are so many terse replies is that this happens every single time - the anti-indy crowd like to troll that they haven't the faintest idea what the problem is, and engaging with them as if they're acting in good faith is tiring and usually not worth it.

On the other side, humans have been fine using natural language to delegate commands to each other.

So maybe it's just that the subfield of natural language understanding is still too early to be really useful. Speech recognition itself has gotten really good but then understanding the context, the intent, etc, all that is natural language understanding, and that is often the problem.
You haven't provided more details beyond "doesn't work, wants Copy", which sounds to me like you've tried to move data from behind a reference, or perhaps expected a placement-new style initialization. You could post your code on users.rust-lang.org to get a solution.

It's super common for programmers coming from C to have a blind spot around strict static ownership, equate references with pointers and try to use them for "not copying", while in Rust they mean "not owning". This desire to avoid copies instead results in needless fights with ownership and the borrow checker. Rust moves never do deep copies, but Rust approaches this differently than C, and it takes practice to internalize that.

Everyone in that thread told you OnceCell would work, because it really would. People do write huge programs in Rust every day. There's a steep learning curve, but once you know the Rust-specific programming patterns, rather than try to write C in Rust, it goes smoothly.
