>I've been saying that for a while. If you're building web backends, Rust is not a good choice. Go is so much easier. The green thread system gets rid of the thread/async distinction, garbage collection means you don't have to obsess over memory management, and the libraries for web backend stuff are the same things Google uses internally, so they're well-tested.

The thing here is that most web backends are basic CRUD bullshit, and you fundamentally will not hit the thread/async distinction, nor need to care about whether there's garbage collection or not. Microsoft has used actix-web in production as far as I know, it's not like the Rust web stack isn't battle tested.

>Where do you really need Rust? Heavy-duty multi-threaded programming. Operating systems. Compilers. Routers and network infrastructure. Robotics, maybe. Hard real time.

These are all the things that sit adjacent to a web framework, and once you step outside that CRUD happy path, Rust fits very well - and in this case just "bolts on".

>It's not that useful for phone apps.

This is more tangential but I know of more than a few companies who have written or are writing their cross-platform logic in Rust instead of C++. This is really akin to how some projects back Python modules with Rust: it's easy to have it backing things and it beats the hell out of dealing with C++.

And look, I'm not even saying don't use Go/Python/JS/<insert your preferred language here>. You do you, your startup will live or die by so many other things than choice of programming language.

I listen to Democrats (I am one) struggle to understand what the word "woke" means to Republicans. It's really simplified for the average socially conservative voter - Woke means teaching children about gender/identity while also teaching children that African-Americans may deserve some form of reparations. The fear is that teachers graduate from "woke" universities and start teaching kids these concepts.

That being said, Twitter is much less "woke" these days and I think it's a shame because I think both sides need to be heard. It's not all Musk's fault - many trans activists left voluntarily - but it's still mostly his fault (and perhaps goal?)

Also, legendary Democratic strategist James Carville says "wokeness" is a stupid hill for Democrats to die on.
If you have working access keys, you can generate a console URL that has the same permission as your keys. Check out the python script here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_pr...

It will spit out a URL you can use to sign into the console using the keys instead of a user account. Maybe this will help you in the meantime while you are trying to fix the root problem. Good luck!

You should still by from a trusted or well reviewed source/manufacturer. My issue is the cheaper long cables I have all work but charging is not fast, just normal speed.

I think HVDC is a game changer for renewables. Any long East-West grid connection is going to improve the total fraction of power that can be generated using renewables because effectively windpower = solar power and having a longer East-West stretch makes the amount of sun hours during a day longer. And any North-South lines will help offset local conditions during the day.

The more the better, especially intercontinental.
Looks alot like it. I guess the only difference here is that it's a human employing the strategy.
Thank you very much!

For now, the generated code is in JS, so you'll need Node.js to execute it. Though, it could have other target languages. I keep in mind the PHP usecase, I'll see if/when I can implement this.

In the meantime, you can create custom nodes that call PHP routes of your app. Not the most performant way of doing it, but it should work.

> There is no mechanism in the body to turn fat stores into muscle.

Which is why you can’t build muscle without eating, but you can have a calorie deficit building muscle from food consumed and losing a greater mass of fat than the muscle built. “Convert fat to muscle”, I will admit, was a perhaps overly informal description of that for this context, but its the net effect.

Yep. I remember doing the math when this info first came out years ago and seaweed production would have to scale astronomically to add an appropriate amount to reduce all cattle feed.

Granted, any reduction is good, but talking like seaweed is the pariah that will make cattle farming environmentally sound wont happen.
I recently had to uninstall some apps and it’s common for apps to litter files throughout /Library and ~/Library.

The UX from early MacOS days is you can drag/drop the App to the Trash Can to uninstall it.

Mathematicians and physicists in several parts of the world – including Europe – had a pretty solid scientific understanding of gravity and acceleration well before the 1500s, so I'm not sure why this is so notable.
I understand why nature would ask these scientists these questions, but alas, it's a pretty vapid exercise that only outs the IPCC as a fully captured ideological organization rather than a scientific establishment. Take the first profiled person. She lived through civil war and drug cartels going to war with government. Columbia has a very very bright future as manufacturing from China redistributes to India, Vietnam, Mexico, and Columbia. Yet, in the midst of a truly breathtaking comeback for her country, where everyone wins, she is worried about inequality, rainfall, and sea level rise of 3mm/year. So much so that she has decided not to have children.

"As a leading climate scientist, Paola Arias doesn’t need to look far to see the world changing. Shifting rain patterns threaten water supplies in her home city of Medellín, Colombia, while rising sea levels endanger the country’s coastline. She isn’t confident that international leaders will slow global warming or that her own government can handle the expected fallout, such as mass migrations and civil unrest over rising inequality. With such an uncertain future, she thought hard several years ago about whether to have children.

“My answer was no,” says Arias, a researcher at the University of Antioquia in Medellín"

> If you believe that it's costless or near-costless to hedge your inputs, you should do it literally everywhere to everything that you possibly can

... no? Just because you've eliminated price risk doesn't mean you've eliminated holistic market risk. For example, suppose you're an airline: if fuel prices go up, and your competitors are not hedged, it's no big deal if you're not hedged, because everyone just increases ticket prices. But suppose you ARE hedged, and your competitors aren't, and fuel prices go down, and your competition cuts ticket prices, and... uh, you're screwed, because 1) you have a bunch of fuel locked in at the higher price, and 2) nobody wants to buy your tickets with the old fuel surcharges. So you're forced to take a loss, and the hedge hasn't actually reduced business risk in this scenario. It tends to depend on the game-theoretic context whether hedging commodity inputs actually reduces systematic risk.

Seriously, hedging price risk in commodities is nearly costless, decisions not to hedge almost never have to do with the actual cost of the hedge. In the real world where things are much more complicated than a toy example, many airlines do some hedging, with the aim of reducing sensitivity of profits to short-run volatility in oil, rather than trying to truly eliminate exposure to fuel prices. But that does come as a "free lunch".
Nice article. I've used composite types with success for similar problems. Some tips:

- Composite types are useful for data validation. Money types and unit-based types are good for composite types.

- Avoid over-using composite types. Most of the time, regular columns are better. Not many tools interact well with composite types, like reporting tools or database libraries.

- Like the article notes, avoid using composite types for data types that may change.

- A JSONB domain type is a good alternative for data types that change often. Note that if you put the validation into a helper function, Postgres will not revalidate the domain if the function definition changes.

- Using composite types is mildly annoying since you must wrap the composite column in parenthesis to access the field.

-- Bad
SELECT package_semver.major FROM package_version;
-- Errors with `missing FROM-clause entry for table "package_semver"`

-- Good
SELECT (package_semver).major FROM package_version;

- When defining a domain type, separate checks into named constraints with ALTER DOMAIN. The Postgres error message for check validation failures is lackluster and provides little beyond "it failed."

CREATE DOMAIN item_delta_node AS jsonb NOT NULL;

ALTER DOMAIN item_delta_node
ADD CONSTRAINT item_delta_node_is_object
CHECK (coalesce(jsonb_typeof(value), '') = 'object');

ALTER DOMAIN item_delta_node
ADD CONSTRAINT item_delta_node_item_delta_id_null_or_num
CHECK (coalesce(jsonb_typeof(value['item_delta_id']), 'number') IN ('null', 'number'));
I think "floor plan app" is the keyword you want to use, there are a bunch of these. You draw a floor plan and then most of them can give you a 3d render based on that. I used floorplanner.com, but there are several options.

One other thought is to try using rclone to copy all of your data to local storage or to another provider while you still have access using keys.

I've considered this too, sometimes it will divulge information from the rule list and instantly follow it up by letting you know that it's confidential and that it will not tell you what it just told you.
These aren't high-volume, they're just web interfaces used internally by hundreds of people. Golang wasn't well-received either in our dept. Java would've saved us a lot of headache, a phrase I never thought I'd say; adjacent teams use it for similar things.

California income tax tops out at 12.3% which is, um, nowhere near 60. That's higher than, say, Nevada, which has no income tax, but they make up their revenue in other ways, so unless you take a look at the bigger picture you'll be making decisions based on incomplete data.

> Yes. Hunger is a bodily function and it's not necessarily regulated correctly

We're talking about a spectrum of people. The OP is correct an overwhelming majority of the time. The vast number of overweight people are not disregulated to the point self-control is not possible.

Of course, you are also correct some small percentage of the time. Some people need some help, and some people need serious medical intervention.

The core issue is that weight crosses into some discussion about identity politics and suddenly we're no longer talking about what's good or bad for you physically. "Big is beautiful" is simply wrong. You might be attracted to people who are fat or who smoke, but personal attraction isn't related to what is objectively bad for you.

Note that most of the defaults are actually not even good non-CS PRNGs.

The JavaScript one decent (only because it generates floats using it).

The MT in C++ and python isn't all that bad, bit it's huge and it fails statistical test, albeit pretty late.

The others are slow and low quality. (If I remember my test correctly)
That's a fair point, but based on my experience I don't think most people are as deliberate as that. I've survived more layoffs than I care to count over the years, and it's always seemed like there were plenty of people on the far left of the bell curve without anyone needing to actively sabotage them.

It looks like the strategy involves letting the computer completely surround a group with 2 eyes, and then depriving that surrounding group of 2 eyes (which the AI appears to be blind to).

> By allowing choice you are taking a neutral path.

By deciding to serve meat to people who want it, you already decided that the necessary meat production is okay enough that your org will endorse it, which is not consensual. Many vegetarian people stopped eating meat not for their own comfort and pleasure, but because they actually think meat is not okay (for environmental reasons, for the animal suffering, or whatever). Usually they won't complain because they don't want to be seen as jerks and to force their views onto people, and because serving meat is very normal, but that's still not neutral. Maybe in 10 or 20 years not serving meat will be seen as an obvious environmental measure to apply and will become the status quo, and serving meat the weird thing to do, but that won't be neutral neither.

By the way, if my preference is zucchini, will you make sure I can have it? Why not, and why the special treatment for the meat, of all food a human can eat, then? That's not neutral.

I'm sure this example won't convince everyone though and that's why I called it imperfect, so let me find something else.

As a bus company in Alabama in the 1950s, what was the neutral thing to do? Letting people sit in their bus anywhere no matter their skin color, or to force "colored" passengers to sit at the back?

In South America in the 1800s, was it neutral to let people have slaves? That was probably considered normal / acceptable. Neutral? I guess not for the slaves.

Today at a bar, do you serve your drink with a straw by default? If you do, in the eyes of some people, you are producing waste for no good reason. If you don't, for others, you might be breaking their expectation to have a straw and that's unacceptable for them, and it is your duty to serve them well, just letting them pick one on their own is not enough.

Today, when speaking about someone and you don't know the gender of the concerned person, do you refer to this person using "they"? Is it neutral, or is it pushing fancy new pronouns that break English and don't sound natural? Is "neutral he" neutral then? Is "he or she" good enough when there are non-binary people out there? By the way, do you acknowledge that some people are non-binary? If so, aren't you too much into this LGBT stuff? If you don't, aren't you too close-minded?

You are creating a new company. Full remote? Okay, now, you are pissing off people who feel better in a office. Everybody at the office, then? No, that can't be neutral in 2023. Hybrid then? Ok, but now you are forcing people into some uncomfortable mix where remote workers are missing out on the office talks and office workers need to bother with setting up video calls with remote workers all the time, and to put up with video calls from the colleagues next to them all day. Here I don't see which would be the neutral choice, I think there isn't actually.

There might be consensual topics, but you have to pick sides for most decisions, even if the side you take is the status quo.
Somewhat interesting content (albeit too self-congratulatory to be objectively useful). But also one of the worst-formatted pdf files I've ever seen. It's a pain to read on the screen, but also completely unsuitable for printing. Talk about undermining your own PR effort.
Do we want the AI to "entertain ideas like AI taking over the world"?
A number of comments are recommending using various services relying on OpenAI's API, but I really don't think Sidney is based on davinci-003. Sidney has a level of coherence and "emotion" that appears to be far beyond normal GPT3, and I don't think you'd get that out of rule prompting, reinforcement learning, or finetuning parameters.
Tribal Knowledge is sh**
"Iteratively expand a set of data"? I'm not sure what you mean here. I think you are probably talking about the "bottom up" evaluation strategy of datalog, right? That's where datalog is evaluated by a so-called TP-operator, which derives the set of all logical consequences a datalog program by calculating its least fixed point. That's the same as the Least Herbrand Model (LHM) of the program, or, in other words, the set of atoms entailed by the program (atoms in the logical sense, of atomic formulae, not in the Prolog sense of constants).

That's the same thing that Prolog does, calculate the LHM of a logic program, but the difference is that datalog programs have finite LHMs, because they don't have functions that can be self-instantiated for ever ( f(x), f(f(x)), f(f(f(x))), ... ) and the bottom-up evaluation, that goes from the "body" to the "head" of a clause, avoids infinite left-recursions.

Prolog, evaluated top-down (clauses are "picked apart" head-first) can get stuck in infinite left-recursions, so datalog's finiteness, and its decidability under TP, is a big gain in efficiency, as anyone who has had to kill a Prolog console session because of an infinite loop will know.

Also, it is not widely recognised but I am the author of the dumbest and most inefficient TP Operator implementation in existence. Obviously I hang my head in shame and will not link to my code. I understand however that there are optimisations that one can perform that make bottom-up execution efficient, and even quite fast. Unfortunately, I don't know what they are :P

Note that Prolog can also be evaluated without fear of left-recursions, by SLG-Resolution (a.k.a. "tabling", a.k.a. memoization) but there is still the danger of infinite right recursions. Prolog is semi-decidable, because it is Turing-complete. Datalog is decidable, sacrificing completeness for, well, efficiency.

So, in short, it's not a problem if you consider the alternative, but of course there are trade-offs, always. It's like growing old, vs. dying young.

(I hope all this is not completely irrelevant to your question).

I love working directly in plpgsql, it makes it possible to perform all the database logic in the database, effectively presenting a domain-specific API to the world. This api is then available to any SQL user. It’s like creating a built in CLI for your data.

Putting logic directly in the database is much faster at runtime, doesn’t require redundant entity definitions, is substantially more likely to detect schema problems, and is way easier to test.

And it removes the dependency on a specific language and toolchain. Your logic is accessible by everyone.

Unfortunately, the tooling around managing this stuff is not great. The language is a bit boring; idiomatic upper case is the first thing I get rid of.

But it’s the best tool for the job. Far from being “way easier” in application code, plpgsql reduces LOC, improves performance and removes dependencies.

If someone on my team ignored all of these benefits, well, I’d explain it to them and show them examples until they “got it”.

Way easier than firing them.
As someone who has written a fair amount of networking code in C, I'd assert that without an understanding of what's in Beej's guide, it will be nearly impossible to competently use io_uring in a networking context.
You're falling into the trap of an exclusive focus on an objective subset of the topic (or perhaps allowing yourself that luxury). This is a common tactic. It is, of course, not that simple. I don't think you really don't understand that people are referring to the various real difficulties of losing and keeping off weight, as opposed to some kind of natural law that makes weight loss physically impossible.

Some people exaggerate the difficulty of maintaining a healthy weight, and others exaggerate the ease of it, usually with a selfish dose of snideness. Try to not be either of them - a big part of which means trying to recognize that other people's experiences and circumstances vary widely from your own, and humans generally have a hard time truly imagining what it's like even to be somebody where such differences are small.
