I was woken up by pulsating lights, and saw a small round object floating through my room. It came closer and closer and touched me, it did something to my mind, changed it somehow. For a week afterwards, I could point at the ground and hairs would sprout, then I could move my finger around and they would follow. That ability faded away but since then I've been able to see auras in people and in cats.

C programmers usually don’t feel it in their guts either how computers work. The amount of code transformations modern compilers do to make C performant is really mind-boggling.

Though to add a more relevant point, I read a great saying on HN that a good developer knows their stack. A great one knows a layer beneath as well. (I usually butcher up quotes, sorry. It may have been more layers actually)

A limit to the airspace belonging to each country has to be defined.

Otherwise (for example) the Apollo missions would have violated USSR's airspace whenever the moon's orbit was above it's territory, which would make space unusable for everyone.
Any reason why wouldn't they want this stable coin to be created anymore? Moving to something else? Or is there some issue with it?

How to get a heart attack while using JEB decompiler (2022)
> It may be impossible to create a less pleasant language than SQL.

It’s not by the way, there’s an entire segment of the esolang space for which it’s the goal (starting with the canonical example that is INTERCAL).

But ignoring esolangs, there are lots of very unpleasant programming languages out there. M/MUMPS is a well known one (especially with “legacy” coding styles, or so I gather). I also consider XSLT to be abhorrent, especially given the nice underlying conceptual idea (not entirely dissimilar to SQL really, just worse).

About SQL, an idea I saw surface recently in a related discussion was how nice it’d be if databases could expose the data model interaction and allow building on that directly: most every SQL database compiles the query into some sort of bytecode (combining direct translation and planner information) to actually run it on its storage layer, some databases allow peeking at the bytecode (sqlite actually prints the bytecode as part of its EXPLAIN output) but I don’t know that any allows bytecode input.

TBF the bytecode is very much considered an internal detail, it can change a lot between versions and (most importantly) tends to be more or less completely unchecked, it relies on the compiler generating it being correct (not unlike cpython for instance).

Skim whatever seems to be the official documentation, like the Rust book. Keep an eye out for interesting new terms.

Find a tutorial where you build some simple thing.

Then start coding, see what roadblocks you hit, and hopefully those words you indexed will come in handy.

Do you have any experience with aerospace jobs? I've looked at some and there seems to be a decent amount of C++, which I enjoy.
I run many different web apps off a single VPS, a Linode with Debian. Deployment is pushing to a git repo on the server, which has a hook that simply kills the server. Supervisord ensures apps are restarted automatically. Caddy proxies everything based on domain.

Litestream backs up the databases automatically to S3 compatible storage, and linode offers automatic snapshots of the VPS.

My deployment process is git push and that’s it. If I need to setup a new webapp, I just clone the repo, add to supervisor and caddy config, and I’m good to go.

If I need to do CI, I use GitHub, which just git pushes to the server to deploy.

>There's a lot of opinion in this: "they supposedly showed the better 1.78:1"

>By creating the 1.78, there is picture that has been cropped out and is no longer visible. The director/DP shot it in the original aspect for a reason. To create the non-OAR version, compromises were made. To say that the cropped version is better is a heavy bit of opinion to say the least.

Good point, this assertion came from my research into this new version before selecting the theaters I was going to see the film in. The consensus appears to be that the 2.39:1 version is not ideal and there was disappointment in people who had gone to see the film to discover that it is not 1.78:1 on places like several subreddits(imax, titanic, amc and some more) as well as some discord chat rooms that focus on movie quality.

>Wow, just so much wow. Yes, let's never watch a movie because it is older. That's like saying, never read a book that wasn't released in the past couple of years. You're cutting out a large percentage of material based on some very strange criteria.

Man this is one loaded comment. The OP was asking if the titanic was any good. I merely suggested that if they are not interested in old films that it wouldn't make sense to check this one out. In hindsight it is an obvious point so maybe I shouldn't have made it but your response makes a lot of assumptions about what I intended with my comment.
It does not stop at arguing. Any online chat will also be pointless. It is already bad on the likes of Tinder if reports from forums around the web are correct. Chats bots are trying to bait men into sending money or subscribing to social media accounts. Now you are still able to trick them but for how much longer?

Combine it with deepfake and any interaction online is tainted from the getgo. I strongly believe we are heading towards an offline life again. Not because technology is bad but because it has become too advanced for humans to deal with it.

One is right to be careful about another state collapsing, after the failures of Irak, Syria, Lybia, etc....

However, I also think the Iranian situation (and unlike many commenters I know Iran, have been there many times, and more) is different because there already is a quite successful diaspora of Iranians ready to take back control of the country.

Iranians have managed to somehow maintain a decent amount of infrastructure despite the sanctions and the general adversity (they did not become Cuba). There is an inherent vitality within the Iranian people which makes me very confident that once the islamists are rooted out, their country will spring back to being a working economy thanks to its intellectually very capable people and its diaspora.

Most new things I learn, are somehow related to solving problems that have piled up in the years. So, I just pick out that problem, try solving it with this new thing I've learnt. I start with watching a video on its simple usage or, read some sort of documentation on it. I wouldn't per say call them rules, but more of a guideline.
Yes they do, in Eastern Europe.
This is an interesting niche. Can anyone explain what they're using it for currently?

Much like Redis, I admire the technology but can't think of a project I've worked on that would benefit from it.

Is it for games, maybe? Desktop or mobile apps?
It's not an "extension". It's a different license that doesn't give you the right to run the code on your server, unless you share the sources with the users.

You are free to implement it yourself instead of using someone else's AGPL code.
This argument is so interesting, essentially it's "there is no other Deno, so you don't have to worry about using a slightly incompatible implementation and getting bugs".

But a lot of people think that multiple implementations and specs are good things (I personally don't know which way I go on this one). And thinking about it, I kind of don't buy the argument. There are specs for JavaScript and TypeScript, and multiple standalone JS and TS engines: node, QuickJS, duckjs, Bun, etc.

I also don't buy the "minimal, practical" take on dependency management. It sounds like they just built a package manager into Deno itself and put versions in the URL, which feels like the opposite of minimal and more like "batteries included". Again not saying this is bad--the Python ecosystem suffers pretty badly from not having their dependency story totally mapped out--just quibbling over the characterization.

On the other hand, I do buy the security thing. AFAIK this is the first scripting runtime to essentially integrate pledge [0], which is real interesting.

How is that dangerous? You have the freedom to run or change the code however you like, but if you use the software to provide service to users over a network, then you must share any modifications you make to that software.

In other words, whether you let me download and run the software locally, or you let me run the software remotely on your server, you always need to provide the source code.

Don’t like these conditions? Then don’t run the software. No one is forcing you to run it.
I like to build side projects. As a general rule, I always have a few "in the works".

And when I do, I always find myself making the same mistake-ish: trying a bunch of new things, as in languages, libraries, paradigms, concepts, whatever.

The bad part is that it usually derails the whole project as I hit roadblocks, unsupported features, abandoned dependencies, etc.

The good bit is that I get to keep learning things even if my day job is with a very stable and boring tech stack. And I'm usually familiar with the cool shiny toys before they become mainstream.

So that's when we're talking about tech stuff. For the rest, I procrastinate a lot here on HN and on Wikipedia and similar places, so I just read a lot on whatever seems interesting.
Ask HN: Has anyone become a voracious reader later in life?
Most readers I have encountered say that they fell in love with reading after encountering book XYZ in their childhood or adolescence.

>I haven't used Edge in a while and opened it the other day. I'm absolutely shocked at the amount of garbage that's in there.

I switched to Edge on Mac from Chrome this week for one reason and one reason only: In full screen, Edge properly displays the addressbar when the cursor is moved to the top of the screen, while Chrome still cannot do this. (No, I do not want to enable "Always Show Toolar in Full Screen".) My understanding is that this is a very, very, very longstanding entry in Chrome's bugzilla.

The transition was easy; Edge even handled extensions correctly, pulling extensions from the Edge store when possible (except when versions differ, which I noticed in two cases) and from the Chrome store for the rest. Even extension settings came over. The only flaw I saw was that Edge only imported tabs from one Chrome window; I had to bookmark all tabs in each window, reimport bookmarks into Edge, then reopen each set of bookmarks into its own window.
Thanks, but the same question as for Substack and Beehiiv remain, see points 3 and 4 of my original post.

I already have a blog, want to keep it online as it is, and I have no problem writing with my current editor software. What I am looking for is a way to publish NEW content FROM NOW ON:

1. FIRST as newsletter, with its own associated blog. Just because that seems the only medium left that people who do read a whole article still tolerate

2. THEN, 1/2 week a post has been published there, migrate it out of that platform and into my existing blog, leaving in the platform just a "This post migrated here, just click" notice. Because that's the only way to guarantee that that content lives as long as possible, always at the same URL.

Kudos to the team for their consistently useful, interesting work. They really seem to know their audience well, to have a well-thought-out feature roadmap.

Makes you wonder if a single, well-specced box running DuckDB is going to be 2024's databricks killer.

You should re-read the study I linked:

"The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15."

Seven points IQ difference.

Also, if you bother to look at the data in the linked paper, many of the regions with measurable deficits were in the 0.5 to 2 mg/L range, well within typical treatment levels in the US.
> quality engineers don't want to be on funding that may vanish in 4-5 years

I may not be a quality engineer, but I'd be interested. That's a long enough time frame for me.

But by what I hear from German academia the pay is bad, the environment is "meh" and the contracts have to be renewed in relatively short periods (yearly?). That makes an otherwise interesting field a hell of a lot harder to choose.
Just use an ORM? If you code your workload in Python with SQLAlchemy you can just swap out any (relational) db. If you want to do benchmarking or something, this might not be the best approach, since each db might need some specific tuning to reach full potential.
Skip the tax breaks, just ensure it's fun to go to downtown. Tax breaks are trickle down benefits to businesses that don't necessarily get to consumers and not at all to the workers of such businesses.

* Reasonably priced food and beverages. They are critical if you want people to hang out for longer.
- Instead of adjusting taxes, make change to the vending permits to bring goods+rent prices down. Decent minimum wage (to cut the tipping craziness) and pricing limits.
* Add more parks and place for culture.
- You can start with the parking lot looking something at Howard and Main.
It's depressing passing by and thinking that someone thought that thing was great.
- The transit center is just sad. The first floor is deserted while it could easily have at least a coffee place and art.
* Convert a couple of streets into a park.
- If you are saying there's no people going there, why do we need that many streets?
- It'd be neat to have streets like 3rd or Harrison turned into a park. Maybe other streets if that allows better future expansion of the parks.
- Bike routes would be better if they went through a park. Safer, fewer stops at traffic lights.
- Other cities have done this already,

There are languages / runtimes where there could not be two different versions of the same thing in one binary (and they eagerly fail at build time / immediately crash upon run). That is not the case for JavaScript, Rust, etc. But it is the case for C++, Java, Go, Python and more.

Everyone claims different needs if they can. Nothing could be linked together anymore if you just let everyone use whatever they want.

Or maybe people start to try to workaround this by ... reinventing the wheels (and effectively forks and vendoring) to reduce their dependency graph.

There is a genuine need for single instance of every third party dependencies. It is not unique to monorepos. Monorepo (with corresponding batch change tooling) just make this feasible, so you don't hear about this concept for manyrepos, and mentally bind it to monorepo.
OWASP Needs to Evolve
A group of OWASP leaders and contributors believe it needs to evolve. Now.
I understand this is self-hosting the OpenAI Whisper model (which I see is fully MIT-licensed, weights and all). So not calling any OpenAI APIs like other GPT-related tools do.

Am I correct on this? The README is not explicit.
These things don't even need to impact the surface to cause massive damage. They can disintegrate mid-air or just pass earth closely and the resulting shock wave will already be devastating. Examples: Tunguska explosion and the Chelyabinsk meteor.

At their speeds they're impacting the atmosphere in a similar way a bullet impacts water (it disintegrates and loses speed rapidly, causing a big splash).

> DuckDB is an in-process SQL OLAP database management system

I don’t understand what it means. Can someone explain? I don’t get why they put such a complicated claim with unexplained acronyms on their homepage.

When I shop for a db, when should I consider duck DB compared to for example Postgres or MySQL? Or do they compete with arrow or parquet? To me it’s unclear because they don’t say what they compete against.
