I think to myself "man these people must be fun at parties", then I remember one of their main self-appointed goals is to prevent things like parties.

Show HN: Text-to-SQL for Blockchain Data Opensourced
We used text to SQL to build a "Webflow for Web3 Dashboards". We discovered loads of problems in the entire blockchain data space outlined below.

Demo: Design your dashboard, type your query in English.

code: https://github.com/vatsalaggarwal/blockchain-text-to-sql
prompt: https://llmhub.com/2/functions/23/share

We're open-sourcing everything.

There is A LOT of blockchain data (~1.5Tb on ETH+BTC). While this is "open data", it's basically unusable - there is too much for anyone to understand what's going on without tools that help humans make sense of it.

So, in October, we built out something hacky (the video is NOT cherry picked!!). Our aim was to make creating web3 dashboards like https://info.uniswap.org/#/ or https://dune.com/anngel/XDAO-Statistics as “no-code” as possible.

But, we found much deeper problems underneath.
3 types of problems:
- liveness: time to access data that was last committed
- quality: cleanliness/structure of tables
- UI for business intelligence
NOTHING WORKED.

We ignored liveness.
On data quality, there were no public APIs we could use to get good tables! (we tried @flipsidecrypto but they took >1 day to return simple queries!). @DuneAnalytics had ridiculously good tables, but doesn't provide public access.

On UX/BI: most users either had to use SQL OR use prebuilt dashboards in Dune or Messari. Loads of nontechnical folks need this data, but can't use SQL and pre-made dashboards are insufficient!

In summary, the problems are:
- Make good data available
- Make it possible to run queries that return “current” results (i.e. not outdated)
- Reduce the friction for non-technical users to convert their thoughts/questions into computer-executable queries.
The standard solution is to post an archive link in the thread.
Who are you claiming enabled him here? Would it be Discord? Would it be Ribiero's parents that enabled him? The child victims parents for letting them talk to strangers online at 14? Did you go so far as to think about who specifically you meant here?

I think to your question is flawed because no one is specifically enabling this. The robust and "easy" solution that people seem to think they deserve actually doesn't exist. Every possible solution to online sexual predation has big costs: either massive collective effort by childrens' caregivers, loss of privacy for practically everyone (and the consequent dangerous power imbalance that comes with that), loss of intergenerational social interaction... Seriously, not letting kids interact with adults outside their immediate family is another kind of harm.

Personally I think the least-bad solution is getting better at the status quo: platforms police content, authorities punish predators when caught, and parents take care of their kids and police their relationships and/or teach them what they need to protect themselves.

> The first one I would argue you should wrap third party exceptions. There is in nearly every case important context in your code that the thrower of the third party exception will not know and whoever is reading or handling the exception will want to know.

And this is why exceptions should just not exist. The only ostensible use case is to actually reuse the same few exceptions everywhere so someone can put a generic catch (IOException) that works if you think about your code from a layman perspective, but but also introduces a few vulnerabilities and annoying as hell bugs into the code. But at least it saved 5 lines of code.

When I see some code A -> B -> C where A catches something from C unbeknownst to B, I just assume it's broken. Even in the rare case where I go inspect that library and all 20/20 cases are fine, it is still likely _temporally_ broken code. That is, these kinds of developers will just upgrade dependencies here and there and those dependencies are made by the same kind of developers, and neither communicate with each other about what the interface is, and it just eventually breaks.

If you're doing _anything_ with exceptions other than creating custom exceptions to emulate returning a variant type, your code is broken and results in this:

https://www.lainchan.org/%CE%BB/src/1653782927930-2.jpg

(this was a huge problem 20 years before Go came out, but Go specifically asked for ridicule here by not having exceptions yet managing to encode the same problem exceptions have, for the sake of solving "problems")

My favorite diversity term as it fails to see the irony of trying to prevent colonialism by inserting an English letter and pronunciation onto another group's language. That is, it is pronounced Latin-Ex and not Latin-Equis whereas latino and latina are actually Spanish words used without issue in Latin America.

Agreed, I actually found this one the most interesting of the list. What is the reasoning for this one? What is avoided by this change?

I was surprised by the fact I actually agreed with much more of the list than I thought I would. Maybe a bit over half.

The worst of the list (as in, the one I agree the most and which irks me the most) is OCD.

Probably because I have slight OCD but it’s still the extremely specific medical term why use it for when you like pink post-its?

That scorn seems earned. Little progress has been made on raising the dead in 50 years.

You are revealing your lack of knowledge about the American wilderness simply by stating this. The US is so vast that there are massive swaths of land that you could not get a fire truck to the scene in half a day. It is difficult to imagine such a place if you have spent your life living in a heavily urbanized European country with no actual wilderness (I've seen what Germans and French call 'wilderness' and it is actually a medium-sized park)
So what’s the end game here, literally remove the ability to say anything negative about anyone?

It’s inherently not kind to say “I don’t think you’re smart” but do we really want to eliminate being able to say that? Are we all just going to be 100% nice to each other all the time and only say kind things about others.

I don’t think so. People do bad and stupid shit all the time. We should be able to express that.

This comment exhibits the exact behaviour it purports to criticise: generalisation.

The submission is about Binance, but the comment tries to broaden the subject to "crypto". It succeeds.

Some might say introducing a tangent, here about a theory of utility of something, acts to deflect attention away from the facts, in this case an operation that has been under investgation by US authorities for years and is now under more public scrutiny, and for (arguably) good reason.

I am not disgreeing with the comment. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I am simply observing it has introduced a tangent. The thread got hijacked. The subject of the submission is Binance, specifically its accounting practices.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Of course I don't want it. Why would I? It is like demands for intercourse from random strangers, claiming you're immoral for not caring about "benefits" for THEM. Mask IS dehumanizing, and IS a symbol of control, just like any forced sexual activity. Why breathing and face are suddenly considered less sacred than nether zone? "What makes it different", from masks, or pants, or waiting the red light? If consensual sex between lovers is a wonderful and most natural experience ever, with all soothing and healing aspects, why it is not appropriate to make it mandatory under some circumstances? Even more, why breaching sexual consent even in minor way is considered worse-than-murder in some cultures?

Wearing mask is as revolting as sex against one's natural "orientation". If someone thinks this is unreasonable and one should "get help" to "fix" it, I remind them that they may be fighting against strongly held "identity" belief. "Conversion therapy" is being declared evil, for some valid reasons. And I won't even say how I feel about forced, mandatory mask wearing.
Roomba's claim is that only users enrolled in/with special units were part of the data being stored & labeled by contractors.

I feel like maybe this problem was "solution first". A cronjob is a solution. For example, Supabase supports cronjobs, but it can't be used to take screenshots.

This might be a non-answer, but if you just want "scheduled notifications of a website change", then you can use something completely purpose built for that. There is a Github action that does exactly this: https://github.com/yasoob/github-action-scraper-tutorial/blo...

This might also be a non-answer, but I've found myself using Integromat/Make or Zapier more and more for this type of work. It allows me to whip things up quickly and it can actually be approachable by non-technical people.

This is a surprising and terrible list in many ways. Almost beyond parody. Where to start?

Well, most of the "context" is really bad or straight up wrong. "Balls to the wall" probably references a governor on a motor. A cakewalk being a black tradition shouldn't make it any more controversial than Jazz. "Rule of thumb" almost certainly didn't refer to the wife-beating myth. Same with "Hip Hip Hooray" being a... Nazi rallying cry? Really?

"Gangbusters - Unnecessarily invokes the notion of police action against "gangs" in a positive light, which may have racial undertones." Uhhhh.. Hmmm. Okay.

"Although the term has its origins in Greek literature, the subsequent negative connotations with the word "spade" means that the phrase should be used with caution or not at all." Uhhhh.... what?

And my personal favorite ironic entry: "Instead of TONE DEAF, consider using UNENLIGHTENED". As if anyone here who actually cared about the origin of words would think that "unenlightened" wouldn't be more offensive on several levels.

And I do not know what the end goal of lists like this are. Does this history of a word count, or just how it's used? Is keeping a magic list of bad words actually going to increase inclusion? If anything, it seems like outgroups would be the most likely ones to not know the secret list of no-no words.

I didn't get a Model 3 both for budgetary and Tesla reasons. Ended up getting an ICE which works out as my new apartment has no charging at it. Looking at the raw dimensions of the car I did get (Jetta GLI), the main difference is height versus an SUV/crossover. I suppose I do just like sedan shaped cars over others - my mother's Golf is a few inches shorter, but the volume it takes up makes it seem like a boat.

I changed careers from a liberal arts path at 28 by going back to school in CS, audit/non-credit to try to focus on coding, and also took practical networking classes at my local tech college. My area didn't have other quality training and online courses weren't cutting it.

I took the first job that would hire me, moving about 1,500 miles with very little money and no family support. If I didn't have and make a good support network of friends, I would've been homeless because I was fully broke my first months.

It took about 5 years to get established enough in support roles to start making real headway, but my career since has been relatively rewarding. I'm making more money but I'm also feeling a lot happier with the work that I'm doing.

I came through that in a different time (mid/late-2000s, housing crisis, but greener fields in tech than now) and it scared the hell out of me, but the alternative fear was greater, that I'd be geographically and financially trapped.

My advice is to be open, be social, be persistent, and above all be friendly. Even when you don't want to, even when it's hard. The connections I made in my first shitty underpaid startup tech-support job have been at least a small part of how I've gotten my last three jobs in tech. This is a very tight industry and the people you know in it can be, and become, unexpectedly powerful.

Looking at the temperature/pressure chart on the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_cooking) any plant or animal tissue, perhaps even bone, would maybe be reduced to a thin sludge long before reaching 400F.

The Wikipedia page mentions pressure ovens, though, which seem designed to achieve the effect you're looking for--fast cooking with browning (Maillard reaction). Personally, this is why I love the Kuhn Rikon fry pan pressure cooker. It has a tri-ply, dimpled bottom for excellent browning; then you can just deglaze, add remaining ingredients, and slap a lid on for pressure cooking. It only holds 2.5L, though, so in practice limited to dishes of about 8-10 servings at the very most (typically more like 4-8 servings).

> FTX collapsed, in part, because they were acting like banks by lending out the funds they were entrusted with and leveraging them

This had basically nothing to do with how FTX collapsed. It collapsed because they stole the money. They may have papered up the theft as a loan to Alameda. But that wasn't done consistently, and was ad hoc rationalization of plain-vanilla theft.
> Probably because building targets with tools outside of the workspace is an antipattern, as it violates hermiticity principles.

Nonsense. Nothing forces you to use tools outside of your workspace. CMake just requires you to set CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER[1] to point to a compiler launchers, which can be anywhere where you see fit, including a random path within your workspace.

People try too hard to come up with excuses for design flaws.

Cynical answer: because that's not sexy.

I have some coworkers trying to re-architect a big chunk of our application to selectively provide data because "only about 10% is used on each interaction". Nobody has bothered to check what % of the data is never used at all. If it's 50%, then you're complicating a whole lot of code and reuse semantics in order to get a 2-4x improvement in 'performance' that you're selling as a 10x improvement.

But to your bigger question, defensive copies are about keeping someone else from munging your data. Borrow Semantics prevent some of those scenarios, which at least moves some of that inefficiency to compile time, where the tax is paid by the perpetrator and their peers, instead of by the users.

I used to routinely eat "glop" that evolved over about a week each time.

I started it the first day with some vegetarian rice or pasta concoction on the stove, served some, put the pan in the fridge, took it out the next day, added some ingredient (usually by sniffing it, and imagining what flavor would be good to add), cooked on stove again, repeat.

It usually ran out in about a week. It tended to taste better closer to the end of its lifecycle, but this was irreproducible -- I didn't keep notes, nor plan, because this was improvisational art, not engineering/science.

One day, I was telling a new roommate about my lazy improvisational cooking, and she mentioned her grandmother died from "that", so I stopped. Even if there wasn't a bad association, I'd have to learn about food safety, to be coloring outside the lines like that, which would be too much like work.
