I don't argue that SQL doesn't have flaws. Nor do I argue that some query results prove hard to present and interpret. Nothing about the relational model limits relations to rows/columns, but by default SQL presents results in that format. A large number of database queries do follow the useful rows/columns or records/attributes pattern. Some don't and for those numerous data analysis and visualization tools that sit on top of SQL exist and have for a long time.

Dokku on a vps gives an identical experience (Heroku) for me. I have several projects running on a Hetzner 2 cpu / 2 Gb vps.

Once a day I do a Dokku backup (zipping its main folders) to an attached volume. I did a test recover a few times (once to Digital Ocean) and that only takes minutes.

So happy for them! I hope they don't continue to work on the game forever because they feel bad for charging money. If it's genuinely what they want to keep doing, that's great, but they deserve to release more games (and charge for them!) if they want to. You don't have to toil away for 20 years to charge $30

That is exactly what git-lfs is, a way to "version control" binary files, by storing revisions - possibly separately, while the actual repo contains text files + "pointer" files that references a binary file.

It's not perfect, and still feels like a bit of a hack compared to something like p4 for the context I uses LFS in (game dev), but it works, and doesn't require expensive custom licenses when teams grow beyond an arbitrary number like 3 or 5.
I think it just took some parts of the media a few days to sort through the noise and pick up what the most important developments actually were, and perhaps get the necessary confirmations on the meaningful developments (and lack of confirmation on the wrong ones).

It takes any profession time to correct mistakes and get the story right, but the media have the unenviable task of trying to do that very very quickly.
I think Warzel's initial premise, that "nobody expected" this, was wrong. Everyone expected this.

I was starting to get concerned about how mainstream "crypto" was becoming. When I logged into my brokerage account at Fidelity for the past few months, I was bombarded with giant banners on their homepage about their new "crypto" funds and about how I could put my 401k in crypto. They stopped running these banners when FTX collapsed. For my part, I had sent Fidelity a note saying their hyping of crypto made the company look irresponsible and risky.

Good for James Block! More people should be speaking up.
Digital Ocean was just too late and too small to carry much blame for Rackspace’s decline in hosting. Even as recently as 2021, DO revenue was $120 million vs almost $3 billion at Rackspace.

Play around with various hosting company names in Google Trends if you want to see how interest changed over time.

I’m not saying DO is bad, far from it. But it’s more accurate to say that they benefited from trends that were well underway before they had significant market presence.
I learned to "speak modem" in order to test a bank of modems. The calling station was roughly 100 feet from the modem bank. If a call got jammed up, I needed to know which modem was stuck, being it used a next-modem-up rule. If I simply left the call station and jogged to the rack, the problem modem usually had hung up already. I realized an actual modem call keeps the answering modem trying longer, but I wasn't allowed to hook one up there, being stuck with a voice phone. So I practiced sounding enough like a modem to keep the answering modem trying longer. It worked! The server room admins thought I was nuts, even after I explained it. They joked that I dated Daleks.
Yikes. This could be the first inning of the Tether bubble deflating, and by extension half the crypto market.

> I wish I could donate directly to Emacs

I've requested this whenever I've had the chance. I would be very happy to donate some cash to get core Emacs improved. Emacs has made a huge positive difference to my professional life for years. Unfortunately this is not made easy.

I think one of the issues last time I looked into it was that FSF couldn't have donations on a platform that was potentially tarnished by having e.g. non-free javascript running on it somewhere... All very correct and in tune with their mission I'm sure, and part of the reason why Emacs etc. has been so successful, but it would be nice if they were a bit more pragmatic occasionally.
Yeah this is a weird mentality that I encounter pretty often.

It is completely juxtaposed with the reality of most senior managers, who are identified by companies in their early 20s. Companies tend to promote high velocity career climbers and want to promote them young in order to get plenty of years of service from them.

pypi is full of awful amateur libraries that don't work very well.

Finding a good one among 20 crappy clones is a chore, and the most downloaded ones are not necessarily the best options.

I personally just stick with whatever is on my distribution (debian) and very very seldom venture out to using something directly from pypi.

In any case python doesn't require many libraries, so most of my projects require no more than 2 or 3 dependencies. Where js projects require 50, so the risk of issues from a dependency changing API is not as big.

"We're all apart, even when we're together. This is the joy - and the sorrow - of decentralization.

What's the optimal size of a server?"

The facts indicate that we just don't know and it's likely that we will not know for quite some time until we've a much better handle on and understanding of the long-term statistics about how connectivity and centralization impinges upon human behavior and how humans socially adapt—or do not do so.

That's to say we need to know both the positive and negative impacts on society of the internet with reasonable accuracy before we can make any authoritative assessment and I reckon we are nowhere near that point yet.

Let's look back a little. Until the 1970s the connections between people were reasonably stable and established, radio TV and newspapers were usually conservative and reasonably accurate in reporting - sensationalism in reporting wasn't yet commonplace. Then in the 1970s we had the arrival of radio shock-jocks, and beat-ups and sensationalism in television news and newspaper reporting became commonplace. This in-your-face type of media presentation altered the way the population thought and behaved, and the fact is we still haven't fully analyzed or accurately know the effects that those changes brought to society over the past 50 years.

The internet and social media have brought about social and political changes to the way people think and act and similarly to the collective social fabric and those effects have been much faster and dramatically greater than those that occurred in the immediate pre-internet era.

This is a huge subject and we've only just recognized how important this issue is. Next stage is to gather even more data and it'll be years before we have any definitive answers.

One issue with this technique is when the set of characters grow above 64, so you can no longer give each one a unique bit.

This could happen if we are instead interested in a window of unique words in a long document.

Amazingly there is still a solution based on XOR!

It is a variant of Bloom Filters, which I know everyone loves, but it uses XOR instead of OR to combine things.

Basically each word is hashed to three locations and you flip those bits. Then you have to do some probabilistic analysis.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.03683

Edit: Actually the technique in this paper would take linear time to determine uniqueness. I wonder if there's a way to do it in constant time...

I guess you could just implement linear probing or cuckoo hashing in bits. But then update time would be amortized constant only.

> decision making when you're working with other people in a real world environment

I've always thought this is important. So much of modern day politics is far removed, abstract, and/or impersonal.

In our current system we've become used to listening to media pundits arguing about things happening on the other side of the country, our votes mixed in with hundreds of thousands of other people, across dozens of issues, for a blue or red team representative, representatives that often seem more beholden to political parties and lobbyist than to voters, the winning 51% lording it over the other 49% for a couple years.

It's completely different having a few dozen or a few hundred people together in a room, people who are your friends and family and neighbors, listening to different viewpoints, coming to consensus on issues that matter to the group.
They might not have four employees yet. They might not have any employees in NYC yet. Either of those conditions would exempt them from the NYC law.

I wouldn't jump to assuming deliberate illegal behavior. The NYC law went into effect last month, and waives the penalty for first offenses to give companies time to comply. If I saw a NYC-based job posting with no salary I would give the benefit of the doubt at least.
Not exactly. It is year-over-year, so it is possible that prices are lower in November than October, but still higher than they were last November. In reality, prices rose by .1%. We will probably see negative month over month here soon, though YoY will still be positive.
To be frank, I don’t find it annoying, I just see it as a form of delusion. Streamers are always doing this thing where they pretend to have big reactions to things and I’m surprised people buy into it.

So if I don’t have the money to pay rent, what should I do?

Should I commit suicide?

And the extremely high rents means in the US you don’t even need to be jobless to not be able to afford rent. The lowest 10-20% of paying jobs may not pay enough money for a person to live in the area the job exists.

Homelessness in the US is a massive problem. But the homeless are not the cause of homelessness. They’re the victims. The U.S. has multiple failed policies which allows homelessness to exist in the richest country in the world.

And there are solutions across the ideological spectrum. You can go left and have the government give them housing. This is cheap (way cheaper than shelters) and extremely effective. On the extreme right you can stop NIMBYs from allowing housing to be built, which will in itself drop costs and rent.

The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. But the US has chosen to simply ignore the solutions altogether.

When the U.S. does pick a solution, it chooses to incarcerate them. Which is the worst possible solution because now you’ve led them to joining a gang and predictably becoming real criminals themselves who now learn know how to rob and steal and commit violence to satisfy their need for money.

And it’s also ridiculously more expensive than all the other solutions above.

I ran the unoptimized version of the code into ChatGPT and he was able to optimize it similarly to OPs solutions.

I was quite impressed, here is the ChatGPT version:

for i in 0..window_size {
unique_chars |= 1 << (s[i] as u32 - 'a' as u32);
}
if unique_chars.count_ones() as usize == window_size {
return window_size;
}

for i in 1..s.len() - window_size {
let prev = s[i - 1] as u32 - 'a' as u32;
let next = s[i + window_size - 1] as u32 - 'a' as u32;
unique_chars ^= 1 << prev;
unique_chars |= 1 << next;
if unique_chars.count_ones() as usize == window_size {
return i + window_size;
}
}

panic!("No unique window found");

}

A previous conversation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17195580

On a sort-of-related topic: I've been checking out the Inko programming language, which has some similar goals/ideals as Pony:

https://inko-lang.org/

Inko lists Erlang and Pony as inspiration for its concurrency model:

"Inko uses lightweight processes for concurrency, and its concurrency model is inspired by Erlang and Pony. Processes are isolated from each other and communicate by sending messages. Processes and messages are defined as classes and methods, and the compiler type-checks these to ensure correctness."
> Interesting. Because a lot of people think they're an exchange and use BInance as such.

...that's what I said?

> What? Someone trusted Binance to store USDC. The conversions should not have happened.

Conversions were announced timely. See https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/what-is-busd-auto-con...

> No. Nobody is expecting that. You're the only person that mentioned it.

Its the logical conclusion of people expecting Binance to hold full USDC deposit amounts, even when most/all USDC was converted to BUSD.
This might be why BTC is shooting up at the moment. If you can't withdraw your stable coins you might as well buy Bitcoin and withdraw that.
Ruby is Perl 6
I assumed people were moving USDC to other wallets (most likely other exchanges). But now that you mention it, I’m not so sure. Because one could signify mistrust in the token, the other in the exchange.
That's a wonderful goal!

In practice, you can either have a secured computer or one that offers useful services over a network. Through decades of sincere effort and many billions of dollars of investment, it has turned out that you cannot make hosting, administering, managing and securing easy as pie and still have something that can do all the things users would like it to do as a server. We can't even reliably do this for non-server computers.

It's worth considering that sometimes our desires are in tension with another in ways that are not readily resolved.

How generous of the grown ups to ban things for other people but not yourself. Like it's objectively a good thing but it seems so silly and immature to me. How good could society be by now if we could get every generation to pass restrictions on the vices of the next generation only, I suppose.

Edit: I know talking about down voting is discouraged, but since I'm being downvoted, why not go further? Alcohol is also objectively bad, why not implement this for alchohol? You would presumably even avoid all the rum running and speak easys and mass organized crime you had with the US doing the first time around if everyone who already enjoyed it got to keep doing it. Would you also find this law but for alcohol reasonable?
