Hey that's really cool, thanks! I'll consider adding a link to it in the repo.

I'm a little skeptical that any given PostgreSQL free tier will stick around indefinitely, after what happened with Heroku. And once you hit 500MB, you jump immediately to $25/mo, so if you're running a hobby project, your choice is either to delete data or start paying $300/year. On the other hand, I'd expect a well-optimized read-heavy SQLite app to scale to 10GB+ without breaking a sweat (speculating wildly) and costing more like $3/mo in storage.

I speak from experience here—until recently, I ran a site that would have been 10x cheaper if it had used pure SQLite instead of managed Postgres.
I think that's an oversimplification. The original Mac was a terrible computer. It was slow, it had too little memory, it overheated, it wasn't expandable, the keyboard was deliberately crippled by removing the arrow keys, it had a single button mouse, and it required almost endless floppy swapping.

The graphic UI and the case design were distinctive. But what really sold it was an incredibly sophisticated ad campaign that carpet bombed key media outlets with super-expensive exposure.

The problem with Symbian/Blackberry/Palm wasn't just mediocre technology, but a lack of dazzle. The products were functional but mediocre. But they were also marketed in mediocre geeky/corporate ways that just weren't that interesting to most consumers.

The original iPhone was barely more functional. But again, exterior aesthetics and a huge marketing and PR campaign forced open a consumer market for a product that was - like the original Mac - barely finished.

The problem Google has is that its products and its branding are heading rapidly towards mediocrity. It reminds me of DEC - an engineering giant in the 70s and 80s, which forgot how to read the market and innovate in the 90s, and crashed far more quickly than anyone would have predicted.
But they are fine with it only because those safety mechanisms are not enforced by goverments already, and of course Apple is more than happy to be the one in charge of enforcing it.
Being an expert in one area is far more beneficial than having broad knowledge. One of the main perks is being able earn reputation in one area(your area of expertise) in order to spend it in another.

Many people see through this, but not enough that the payoff isn't worth it. Far too many people see it as simply, "This person is knowledgeable of X, so they must also be knowledgeable of Y." Exploited tactfully, this is a substantial opportunity compared to being simply pretty good at several things.
My standard for any serious service is at least minimal redundancy for improved availability during failures. At least two webservers.
Tough to answer since I've only read the two intro chapters currently available. I'm still in the early stages myself with with Deep Learning but have years of experience with programming and lisp, so I'm coming in with a background that might bias my views.

If you have never used lisp, you need to be patient with the notation and resist the urge to balk at what is unfamiliar. I remember grumbling quite a bit when I first went through TLS, but that phase was over pretty quickly and within days I had no trouble following the code.

Are there better ways to introduce deep learning and neural networks? Maybe.. but I like "little" books and there is no better way to learn something than by building it yourself. For that reason alone I'd recommend the book sight unseen (but with the knowledge of prior little books). I do think choosing what is likely an unfamiliar language for most may be somewhat of an impediment for an already challenging topic, but scheme is a simple language and allows the author to focus on the ML concepts.

I'm highly confident you'll learn a lot, if you put in the work. For DL as a separate topic, the best resources I've found are:

- 3 blue 1 brown Neural Net playlist
- Karpathy's "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation"

I think this trend comes in waves/cycles. Where I work, product designers are constantly switching between "ok" and other unnecessary complex sentences. The problem is that they lead to all sorts of consistency issues depending on when some dialog was implemented and by whom. Overall, it all looks like a mess.

Thankfully, we recently standardized the dialogs so you can't even have custom "ok" messages. Now it's properly localized and standardized everywhere.

I wonder if we ever get back to "Abort, Retry, Fail?"

Back in 1999 or so, before SQLite was a thing, I used to throw little ASP websites together with an MS access .mdb file as the backend connected up through ODBC.

It was neat and quick and easy to get running right on your regular windows desktop.

By the criteria of this article, that was apparently the only database I ever needed. It could handle the multiple reads and occasional write of a small scale website. Backing it up consisted of copying the file. It was accessed through a simple standard library (ODBC) and supported SQL.

Since that was the only database we needed, what does SQLite bring to the table?
I am highly bullish on systems programming. As high performance computing becomes more important, so esoteric hardware will.

The Mac OS download is also available from https://www.sqlite.org/download.html - and in any case SQLite is a single-file C program, so you could easily compile your own (but no need for the Mac).
> By far easiest db to install.

The difference between installation for sqlite and postgres is the difference between typing `apt install sqlite3` and `apt install postgres`.

The actual learning curve for sqlite is more complex because picking random sql queries on the internet will end in misunderstanding in underlying types in sqlite and broken data. Postgres tools ecosystem is much more expressive, because more people think about Postgres as about "real" database.
I read that it is only carcinogenic if stored improperly, which was one of the reasons it stayed available for as long as it did. The article doesn't seem to counter this idea. Do you have any references on the not heat-exposed risks?

Reminder that former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, a very strong advocate of Net Neutrality (the strongest advocate of any Chairman, and possibly of any commissioner), had formerly been not only a lobbyist for cable and cellular companies, but the President of the NCTA and CEO of the CTIA, the foremost lobbying organizations for those industries.

Too many former lobbyists involved in a regulatory agency may be worthy of raised eyebrows and closer scrutiny, but doesn't by itself imply much of substance. Only their actual decisions and manner of regulating are substantive.

It's odd that most engineers seem to object to non-specialist judges and juries handling legal cases turning on nuanced issues of technology, but expect regulators to have no professional ties to an industry they're regulating. The phenomenon of regulatory capture is a problem, but to those who think non-specialist judges are a problem I'm not sure if there could ever be a coherent solution.
>I really don't think this is it; yes, you see a few cyclists riding on the pavements alongside the main roads, but you see many more making their way along the side/back streets which don't even have a segregated pedestrian pavement - and don't need one.

Yes, many parts of Tokyo are like this, with lots of side/back streets that help cyclists avoid even needing to ride along the main boulevards. But not all of Tokyo is like this; it seems like every time I run into someone online who lives here, they completely forget that Ariake/Odaiba exists, or maybe they've never been there. There are a lot of places where you can't really take a side street because the geography prevents it, so cyclists are forced to divert to main streets for some distance (like over bridges) where they then share the sidewalk with pedestrians.

>It's largely an (IMO over-) reaction to one dramatic case where a cyclist hit an elderly person who then needed a lot of expensive medical care.

It's interesting how societies don't weigh risks rationally when it comes to cars. How many people (esp. pedestrians/cyclists) have gotten seriously injured or killed in car crashes? But that's just considered "unavoidable" for some odd reason, and little to no effort is made to avoid it in the future. But a cyclist hurts a pedestrian (and not even fatally, as is common with crashes involving motor vehicles) and suddenly everyone freaks out and wants to ban or restrict cycling. Why aren't they trying to ban car driving?

To be fair, I do see this insurance requirement as not too onerous. It really is possible to seriously injure a pedestrian when you're riding a bicycle at speeds well above those that pedestrians can travel, and we already require motor vehicle drivers to have a lot of insurance coverage. Bicycle insurance here is quite cheap really. Mine was only 3000 yen/year. So I don't feel this particular requirement is really an overreaction. However I do wish they'd be more proactive on the infrastructure side and do more to make cycling safer, and not by painting stupid bike icons on the sides of high-speed, high-traffic boulevards, which to me is an insult.
What exactly should have been done? I don't see why a "top politician jailed" is something that should happen unless they committed a crime. Trump benefited from Russian meddling and refused to admit that it happened, which is a gross failure, but its not criminal. That should be a behavior that loses votes from voters, but that's a very different problem.

The only official actions that should have been taken in response were sanctions or other international relations consequences for Russia. Trump's biggest failing on this issue was to not realize he could do this without compromising the legitimacy of his election.
Not OP, but I was prescribed Percocet after dental surgery. I didn't even feel any pain, so I was a little confused about why I was automatically prescribed such heavy duty stuff when I didn't even need OTC Tylenol. Shortly after this, I found out I was living with a recovering addict (who got hooked on prescription pain killers after a knee surgery), so I ended up flushing the pills at their request.

In production, Node is generally run in clustered mode (multiple threads per instance). SQLite works fine with multithreaded applications, if you set a longish timeout for acquiring a file lock.

It does work better when all of your writes are on a single thread, though. I used Node’s IPC to accomplish this, and was able to get it up to 10k or so writes per second while still having it do tens of thousands of simple reads per second.
Black would also radiate more energy out though. And there's a lot more energyv that can go out than in, in winter. I would imagine using silver colored would be best for insulation.
I still don't get why people think Intel is obligated to optimize AMD performance. From what I recall, it wasn't a case of slowing down AMD devices, they just didn't apply code optimizations to machines not using Intel.
> I'm an application developer and I do not want to become a release engineer. I resent even having to learn Docker. :-)

Sorry, but that's a terrible attitude to have. You don't need to be a full-blown sysadmin to know how to do basic deployments, and learning these things will make you a better developer.
just noticed the response..

Not really, even in those cases you need to understand that bits in memory (ie.. everything past (&including) the SoC's IO pins would never see the data unencrypted. any decryption is handled within working cache on soc with secure context (typically on a secure OS vm). I dont see why a bunch of compute code wont work there. in fact you could go a step further and encrypt compute instructions too. then assuming you know what you are doing and dont crash the compute node will have no idea what ops you are actually doing on what data.

btw thats how DRM works (sans the last part).
Show HN: Ractor – a Rust-based actor framework with clusters and supervisors
SOME HIGHLIGHTS.

* We have a full supervision tree so actors can monitor other actors for exits and unhandled panic!s (at least the ones that can be caught)

* The actor lifecycle is handled for you in a simple single-threaded, message handler primitive

* You have a mutable state with each message handling call, so you have an easy way to create stateful actors and update that state as messages are processed

* Actors talk to other actors by message passing, but there are remote-procedure-calls (RPCs) so actors can "ask a question" to another actor and wait on the reply.

* A lot of the concurrency primitives are handled by the framework, such as cancellation/termination of actors (both graceful and forceful)

* A Factory primitive in order to formulate distributed processing pools with multiple job routing options

* Early but stable support for a distributed epmd-like cluster environment, where you can talk to actors over a network link. It's an additional crate (ractor_cluster) that builds on ractor to facilitate the inter-connection between nodes and support remote casts and calls to actors on a remote node.

We're openly seeking feedback, so please feel free to utilize the library and let us know if there's anything you find missing or doesn't work as expected!
This. And the demographics change wildly depending on what day of the week and time you go.
Having learnt SQLite before PostgreSQL I get that experience every so often with PostgreSQL... Both have got nice features that the other does not and what you got used to is going to determine what you miss when picking up the other.

This "new science" would have to disprove everything we know about thermodynamics. No, not possible in the regular sense of the world.

Sure, we might find everything we know about physics is wrong but if this happens it will most likely serve to explain why things behave certain way rather than give us superpowers to ignore thermodynamics.
I'm not sure whether I've won the lottery or Intel's software is unreliable.

I've been playing around with the 13900K's settings and so far I've managed to get it down to a stable 210W TDP(according to XTU under stress testing. That's with a 0.110V undervolt(likely could do more) and the P-core turbo multipliers tapering down to 50 with all cores active from 57 with 1 core active. I've yet to mess with the E-cores though; could probably shave off some more perf/W still.
> You can run migrations from another process. Migrations are just writes, and SQLite supports writes from multiple processes.

Thank you for explicitly saying this! I'll see if I can update my repo to allow for online migrations. I was trying to be as conservative as possible based on what I knew at the time. It'll be nice to update the migration steps to be simpler.

Note with Neon now you don't need to spend $15+/mo for Postgres because they separate compute from storage. So compute can scale down to 0 and storage is cheap.
I hope this motivates an effort to add great bindings to TF/Torch from Racket/Scheme.

I’ve been getting very good results from eval on JS written by GPT. It is surprising apt at learning when to query a source like wolframalpha or wikipedia and when to write an inline function.

You can stop it from being recursive by passing it through a model that is not trained to write JavaScript but is trained to output JSON.
Randomized cutesy errors (or non errors) are even worse. I'm thinking of the Slack app here, where unhelpful errors are a constant frustration for me. I'm not your friend Slack. I click in the search bar and it says "Enter your search term. You have the window open anyway." Which is salt in the wounds of having to use this app on macOS where I only get one "window" for multiple workspaces. Hate hate hate this thing and it's faux personality.
litestream is more for data recovery, for replication LiteFS is better.
Since I program in an interpreted language, I can use an undefined function name to generate an error message, such as:

While I agree overall, I think you are overlooking the time factor. Homemade lasagna vs something you throw in the microwave has a different time cost which is an important consideration for someone working multiple jobs.

No, there was a longstanding issue of people worrying that it would result in a net performance penalty for mixed workloads. Meanwhile people actually using AVX-512 dealt with that by making sure mixed workloads were batched appropriately and it is usually a big net win even if you don't worry about it.
IIRC you can use Racket base so long as you define the “atom” function per the book authors
Some time ago I wrote this: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-ml -- It contains a parallelized decision tree implementation in GNU Guile, a Scheme dialect. There is also https://github.com/lloda/guile-ffi-cblas which at least gives fast matrix multiplication. Example usage I have here: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-math-examples/src...

I don't know what is in the book, but things are possible.
I'm not convinced this is true. Django supports SQLite out of the box, and otherwise database management is an exercise for the reader. The migration tools, for example, work fine with SQLite.
It was never really a problem.
You present a false choice. First, there is no actual evidence of such a risk. Second, even if the risk is real there is no reason to expect that more safety research would reduce that risk.
Right, it’s not termed to be understood from the user perspective, a common trait in naming. It increases the jumble within the pool of next possible word choices, as heat increases Brownian motion. That’s the way I think of it, at least.
