Because it's self evident. Historically extreme inequality generally led to social and economic instability (e.g. the collapse of the Roman republic, French/Russian revolutions/what is happening now) and to misallocation of resources and other suboptimal outcomes.

Obviously aiming for absolute equality would probably be more harmful. But there are plenty of arguments on why excessively high inequality is bad for the society as a whole. If you never bothered to read them and resort to silly conjectures like: "well, it's wrong because people kept saying so since I was young, duh!". Well...

> as if I could jump on a ride-share bicycle with two kids.

So while this is rather tangential to the post in general, The cargo bike is the exact solution to this problem[0]. Just because your city is terrible at bicycle infrastructure doesn't mean it's a problem inherent to cities.

And honestly by your post it sounds like New York is just terrible about infrastructure in general.

From my experience most TCP using projects existing for a longer time disable Nagle's Algorithm sooner or later, we did so at Proxmox VE in 2013:

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-manager.git;a=commitdiff;h=fd...

Most of the time it just makes things worse nowadays, so yes, having it disabled by default makes IMO sense.

Thank for you this post. My minimalist writing tool is the GitHub web interface editing README.md or IntelliJ markdown support.

I just update a giant README.md file. My journal (see profile) is a series of markdown headings.

I try write all the time and since 2013 I have 700 short entries for computer ideas.

I suppose if you were writing a book you would need a more involved writing style but this low technology writing style works for me since it keeps me productive.

There's no blog mechanism to maintain or update. There's no static site generator to remember how it works. It's hosted and backed up by at least 2 computers (my computer and GitHub.com) and I can work on it on my Android phone or on my desktop Intel NUC)

Having mistakenly rented a car on a business trip to Boston, I resolved to put it to use by visiting* Concord, Lexington, and Walden Pond. In visiting the former pair, I couldn't help but think of what the British side must've reported: "after having destroyed a terrorist arms cache, our units came under withering small arms fire from un-uniformed bitter ender insurgents, often using civilian infrastructure as cover."

There are other forms of stupidity in the book business, too.

I live in a South American country. One day I needed a two volume book, and specifically, I needed vol. 2 more than vol. 1. Now, the publisher released a Kindle version for volume 1, but not for volume 2. You could get only a paper copy of vol. 2.

I spoke with someone from the publisher and inquired about this circumstance. The person told me that they "forgot" to release vol. 2 in Kindle format and that they would release it "soon". Well, that was about 4 years ago, if not more.

Just think about it. You can have the Vol. 1 ebook, but no Vol. 2 for ya.
> If something is not illegal but clearly bad, it's a lesson that we should change the law.

I don't agree (at least not in general). Eg not loving your kids is clearly bad, but I don't think laws would be the right way to tackle this.

> It absolutely should not be legal to lob a completely baseless murder accusation at someone with no evidence.

You could try to make American courts change how they interpret defamation. Or you could change the defamation laws in the US. Or you could stop fiddling with defamation, and make up a new category of 'bad thing'. In the last case, you could learn from the German experience: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cble_Nachrede_(Deutschlan... (use Google translate, if necessary).
Surprised to see no mention of UUID v1mc, which Postgres supports today via ossp.

Like v1, it has a 60 or so bits of timestamp at the front. But unlike v1 which ends with the generating node's MAC address, v1mc uses a random MAC, essentially giving it 48 bits of randomness.

Ah free speech, the thing that makes every discourse better if there is more of it. I surely envy the nuance and shade you guys have over there in your (political and otherwise) discussion. With it's two sides the US is truly a beacon of free thought. That polarization is not at all harmful to more nuanced positions. /s
Thats nice to know!

If you are a PRQL dev i have a suggestion for you/your team.

Make PRQL language agnostic. In a real life scenario many people are writing SQL not in the app layer, but more ad-hoc for stats, reporting, analysis, examining the data etc.

What i mean by this is:

If i write an app that has embedded SQL i dont really care to much for the possible verbosity. This code will be used more than once, so im OK with taking the extra effort.
Also all languages has an query-builder / ORM so the benefit of something like PRQL is possibly not big enough to merit it as an additional dependency.

My suggestion:

Make PRQL a cli tool that can be used by allowing users to connect to a database in a similar fashion as something like usql (https://github.com/xo/usql),
I would find the most power in a tool like PRQL is this setting: Ad hoc SQL queries.

This would open the editor integration. With a tool like this i could open vim, and write PQRL in a window, and pipe it via something like Slime to a open PQRL session.

This would be pure money!
iOS: Voice Dream Reader. Use Ivona “Amy” or “Joey”. Also allows annotations such as comments and highlights and exporting your annotations.
Interesting.

So imagine I combine some niche industry terms to call you something nasty - say, "init forker" - and make it a statement of fact, though one that's hard to discern even for insiders, much less for the general audience. But it so happens that you're an influencer on the side. You make an angry Tiktok video whining about me. Then someone in your audience makes a YouTube commentary about it. Then someone else makes a counter-commentary. Fast forward one week, half the population in the country knows what "init forker" means.

Would this give you grounds for an effective libel suit? Even if it only became "matters of common knowledge rationally attributable to all reasonable persons" after the fact, thanks to third parties making the story viral on the Internet?
Best not to have a single query, but to break it down into a number of separate views and join those views for your final query.
No, do not try to be a nazi. It's a horrible political philosophy.

My colleague added MSG_MORE support throughout libnbd[1]. It proved quite an elegant way to solve a common problem: You want to assemble a message in whatever protocol you're using, but it's probably being assembled across many functions (or in the case of libnbd, states in a complicated state machine), and using expanding buffers or whatever is a pain. So instead we let the kernel assemble it, or allow the kernel to make the decision to group the data or send it. The down side is multiple socket calls, but combining it with io_uring is a possibility to avoid this.

Windows arm64 can not boot natively on M1/M2. There is no drivers for Windows to do that. It's just about running Win11 arm64 in Parallels in macOS.

Asahi Linux has modified kernel where is M1/M2 drivers, and remaining of Asahi is from Arch Linux. Asahi is installed like new version of macOS, notification about it goes to Apple, Apple just does not know it's actually Asahi Linux install. M1/M2 hardware has possibility for Linux by design, Apple most likely had some minimal Linux running on it for test purposes. There are also other FOSS distros for M1/M2, they use partially same packages and ways to make installing dual boot OS possible.

It's also possible to install macOS and Asahi Linux to external SSD drive and boot from there. But part of boot is still at internal drive, so it's not like boot at any computer yet.
Joins are cheaper than the alternatives.

If you have billions of rows you need to search through for a single row, it will be costly unless you have the appropriate indexes. Storing data in JSON fields or similar is only going to make it slower.

If you are only selecting a single row, a join will be instantaneous. If you are joining many rows on either side it has a cost, but so has denormalized data since you just need to scan through that many more rows. Sure in certain specific cases denormalization can be a valid optimization, but in the general case it will just make queries slower.

Saying joins are cheap or expensive only makes sense when comparing to the alternative.

Version 3 is more liberal.
By your word and the definition, saying true things is now lying. I don't agree with such a definition. And it's not just about what a word means either. Calling someone lying is essentially declaring you won't engage with the other side, and by your definition, you are not interested in engaging vast majority of anything, and making the meaning of lying nearly useless. People advocating and focusing on the argument they believe in are not lying by omitting to mention the other arguments.

And, more importantly, this kind of rhetoric or definition doesn't help anything, even if there is a clear definition which there isn't one. It's the cynicism, without any use.
> In my opinion, it'd be better if it were more neutral and disinterested regarding its stances on political questions.

This isn't a real thing though. Anything with impacts outside of your own living room is or can become a political question in certain contexts so this affects potentially everything. Ten years ago wearing a mask wasn't "political" now it is.

What is neutrality? What's the neutral position between genocide and don't? Between pacifism and conscription? The average view? Of who, taken when? There's no neutral ground from which to make these judgements. Even deciding what is "political" or what "neutral" means is itself a political act.

The value of neutrality is useful in some contexts but for this it is insufficient to solve any actual problem it presents.
Compared to other IT assets, web applications are especially vulnerable to attack, because they are exposed to the Internet. Many attack vectors against web applications focus on manipulating user inputs via web forms, and machine inputs via APIs.

The goal is for compiler to be smart about what SQL constructs are used. We want to lift at least some burden of regard for performance from user and pass it to the compiler.

But there is a caveat: when writing SQL, you only have to know roughly how does the database optimizer work. When writing PRQL, you also have to know a little about PRQL compiler.

TikTok has a very efficient algorithm which rapidly tunes to your personal interests. If you only see screaming and cringy repetitive videos beyond the first 15 minutes of use, you've got nobody to blame but yourself. For example, my personal feed is for a large part educational content, and I don't think I have seen any person under 16-17 since I first started using it.

It's still probably a net negative on society, but I definitely consider Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to be far worse. TikTok is getting a bad reputation solely because of its Chinese origin, while its Western counterparts are doing exactly the same thing.

I loved this line "the office began as a place where peace and solitude". Oh how far it fell with the advent of an open plan.

I moved to a small town, as did many. The town had to add new teachers to the school, and three new restaurants opened. The local store expanded. Construction jobs and even the local landscaping gigs have increased.

I love the effect remote work has had.

What do you do with embedded devices where the RTC battery has died? Replace the battery but you have no way to set the clock and the device won't connect to anything anymore because its clock is off, so just throw it away then? Doesn't sound environmentally friendly... And yes CR2032 batteries can last a long time but they can also fail, just a a month ago I had to replace one that was only a year old.
I am opposed to copyright in its current form, but this is a very naïve suggestion. How exactly do you distribute the fee among authors? Who collects it?

After a couple seconds, shouldn't the application have easily outpaced the network, and buffered enough data in the kernel such that the socket's send buffer is full, and subsequent packets are able to be full? What causes the small packets to persist?

Solar energy is only one factor in the equation. Another one is water. Indoor farming lets you get your energy and water from different places.

In the modern system S&D is controlled by commercial banks and regulated by the central bank via the central bank rate.

Any bank could go rogue and lend money below central bank/base rate, but because all other banks can "earn" free money at the central bank at base rate this opportunity would instantly be arbitraged away.

Likewise market forces for borrowing are determined by the risk premium on top of base rate, with competition for borrowers arbitraging away opportunities for risk takers (lenders).

Three things:

* Why do you think we can make our users upgrade? We're small, just one of dozens of websites they use per day. And in our line of business, this usually means losing clients (who, BTW, are usually not the end-users).

* How would we even be able to tell them they should upgrade if we can't test the version of their browser?

* It was Chrome 93 to 95. The bug existed for three months in all versions of Chrome. They couldn't update.

Hashids is worse than you think, and should be treated as easily-reversed obfuscation only. It doesn’t encrypt IDs, but instead shuffles the alphabet. When encoding an number, it rotates the alphabet by that number, recording that as the first character of the output, and then converts the number to a string using this rotated alphabet. This is so bad it’s basically negligence. (In its early days, it made claims of security that seem to me bald-faced lies, or staggering and fairly implausible incompetence.) In its default configuration, 44 sequential IDs gives you the key to decode all IDs, and that’s not the only way of breaking it.

I'm a huge Linux fan and currently run it on a Dell Latitude.

The company where I consult gave me a MacBook, so my work is on that device.

The difference in hardware is just night and day. Sound, touchpad, battery life, ... . I don't get it why any other hardware company can't even get close to what Apple is offering.

Anyway, when I need to replace my own laptop, chance is very high that it will be a MacBook. Although I still like my Linux Mint way more than MacOS, the difference between those two seems less than the hardware difference between a MacBook and anything else out there.
