That is being alone, without really being alone. I like it, too. I find it relaxing to know everyone is around, but also not have to interact directly with anyone individually.
That depends on what you mean by "unicode support".

https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html notes that:

> TEXT. The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE).

But if you want unicode-aware collations, LIKE operations etc you need this extension: https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/ext/icu/README.txt

You can compile this in too, but from a quick review none of my various SQLite installations seem to have been compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_ICU flag.
Yep. And when I see Google running ads [1] around RCS it signals to me not to touch it with a 100ft poll. If it were a good protocol you wouldn't have to run ads (like USB-C).

Nix should use similar values already by default but if you are regularly build heavy builds those settings are not good enough and need tweaking.
Community colleges also deliver this kind of education, and can be quite affordable. Chris Rock may have made fun of community colleges, but they fill a glaring need in society that can be difficult for us smart, well-to-do people who went to good schools to understand.

I get what you're saying, but the implementation of 2FA is still broken. If we don't fix that, we can't fix what comes next either.
> So it begs the question - can you live on an English degree, and be happy in the real world?

I have two friends who did English at university. One (who started doing Geography and switched after a year) is an editor of a major (niche) national magazine. The other is a senior journalist at a national broadcaster.

How much their English degree is needed for those jobs is rather meaningless really, I suspect their tenures on the university newspaper (former) and radio station (latter) were more relevant, but they are happy.

I don't think you get an English degree with the idea that you'll use it to go into a particular career, but then degrees shouldn't be like that anyway in most subjects.
Polars author here. Polars adheres to arrow's memory format, but is a complete vectorized query engine written in rust.

Some other key differentiatiors:

- multi-threaded: almost all operations are multi-threaded and share a single threadpool that has low contention (not multiprocessing!). Polars often is able to completely saturate all your CPU cores with useful work.

- out-of-core: polars can process datasets much larger than RAM.

- lazy: polars optimizes your queries and materializes much less data.

- completely written in rust: polars controls every performance critical operation and doesn't have to defer to third parties, this allows it to have tight control over performance and memory.

- zero-required dependencies. This greatly reduces latency. A pandas import takes >500ms, a polars import ~70/80ms.

- declarative and strict API: polars doesn't adhere to the pandas API because we think it is suboptimal for a performant OLAP library.

Polars will remain a much faster and more memory efficient alternative.
Manual transmissions are almost entirely extinct in new vehicles (in the US at least) and even some manuals have an interlock that can prevent you from taking it out of gear if the power-train control module decides it needs to stay in gear.
Shoot…that’s concerning with regards to privacy and anonymity.
I've seen similar controls on conveyor toasters, and seen conveyor pizza ovens in operation. If you really wanted to adjust the temperature/speed for a particular item, you'd need to leave a gap before and after that item (or group of that items, I guess), and that would ruin your throughput. You really want everything to cook at the same temperature and the same speed. Or you need multiple pipelines, one for each temperature and speed.

The really mind blowing thing about that 2 meg dictionary, is that it can completely fit in cache for many computers nowadays. Just mind blowing that the optimized linear scan search today is competitive with faster methods from yesteryear. (Heck, the unoptimized scan is probably more than competitive.)

I've known about this for a long time, but only in the past couple years started to appreciate how much of the background radiation has gone away.

> World anthropogenic background radiation levels peaked at 0.11 mSv/yr above natural levels in 1963, the year that the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was enacted. Since then, anthropogenic background radiation has decreased to 0.005 mSv/yr above natural levels.

Im curious how much of the decay is half life related, and how much is that the particles have deposited themselves onto the planet, gotten out of the air.
I work for a utility. We use technologies spanning decades. We don't change our technology stacks to enhance people's EV's. For us new technology is technology that's 5 years old. We call it "leading edge" and actually have a strategy to avoid "bleeding edge." We like to use technologies that have been tested out, worked out, and shown to work and has mindshare and tooling.

Having been developing for nearly 40 years now the technologies don't really excite me - it's what I'm building and the impact that it's having on its users that motivates me. It sounds like you've found something that motivates you, too.

In the US, a vehicle doesn't belong to someone free-and-clear if there are any liens against it. Mechanics and car loans are the primary users of this process. With leased vehicles, there's no conveyed ownership per-se because it's a glorified rental.

Might need Steve Lehto to weigh-in on how much "ownership" there is in America.
It'll be a net profit loss because its expensive to implement, the lawsuits when it kidnaps children in car seats and whatever will be expensive.

But we will be stuck with it anyway, because of risk aversion. Any car that could have been repo'd at the click of a mouse but doesn't have the functionality will result in explaining to the boss why shareholder value was wasted in that individual situation. It doesn't matter that the project overall will be a net financial loss, just need to avoid that awkward convo with the boss for that one incident.

So we'll all eventually be stuck with this, and we'll all be poorer because of it. But at least risk will be lower and no one will have their feelings hurt at work.

With pure LiveView, I would agree, but you can easily supplement with a JS framework. As I mentioned above:

> You can also use the built-in JS module to do client-side things when you don't need backend support. I use Alpine.js (PETAL stack) and I like it a lot.

If you have a very complex client-side need, it's also pretty easy to use React.js for that.

While you could, I never use LiveView to open dialogs (unless the dialog state needs to be distributed across multiple clients, but I haven't had that use case come up yet). As you mention, that would lead to a poor UX.

The best is the best of both worlds. LiveView for data/state changes that need to go to the database, client-side script for state changes that are UI related and don't get persisted.

Valid point which I expected to come up, but the difference is that AFAIK exfiltrating precise data with such a setup would be challenging, while the software stack is so messy that it's orders of magnitude easier to stealthily compromise.
i understand that this is the fastest way to extract frames, but it is limited by key frame availability in the original file (i.e.) you can only start the output from a keyframe.

in this case, it is important to be aware that the times you specify may not be extracted exactly. it will be off by a few frames based on keyframe availability. the only way to extract exact frames is to re-encode. :)
This article is over-dramatizing what is essentially just a patent document. Companies often write patents for ideas they will likely never execute. It's easy/cheap for them to write, and on the off chance a competitor ever implements it, they can sue.

It would be very unlikely any car company would have this "feature". It's just a litigation nightmare waiting to happen.

AAAA is popular and as cost-effective as CR2032 (aka: bad value, but less-bad value than most other batteries of this size). Note that CR2032 is toxic, so AAAA is somewhat preferred.

AAA and AA have much more energy-per-dollar. I mean, so does lead-acid but I guess that's too big lol.

---------

Specialty batteries, like CR123A, seem to fit the bill for this size much better. But those are so, so much more expensive. I feel like the only two cells worth really considering are AAAA and CR2032, despite their deficiencies.

Out of high school I've worked a couple of years for A1 telecom(in Croatia) in customer service. When someone called, all I was required to ask is their OIB(Personal identification number) and they could literally ask me for anything if it's a residential user.

Want to cancel 20 numbers that still got 2 years until the contracts expire? Sure, let me do that for you. Want to change sim? Sure, just give me the new sim number. Want to add 5 tariffs to your plan? Sure, do you want phones with that?

That was 6 years ago but I still got friends I talk to there, and not much has changed.
> As long as the abstraction layer works well for you without getting too much into the details of the implementation, it's a simple solution.

But this is where the engineering intuition has to come in. "As long as you will not end up spending more time debugging the system than implementing it" is an equivalent statement -- and that requires prediction of the future. If I'm going to spend hours staring at signals on a 'scope to debug the system, I'd way rather they be RS-485 than 10base-T1, for reasons of simplicity -- but I don't know, today, if I will or not.

Layering works /great/ during implementation. Layering is a strong impediment to understanding during testing and debugging. Debugging a system efficiently requires being able to bridge between layers of the system and see where your assumptions break down. And once you're going between those layers, you're exposed to the complexity within them.

So: simplicity in implementation, or simplicity in debugging?
Eh, I'm enjoying the excerpts in this thread. It would be annoying in a newspaper, but the imagery and metaphors are beautiful. If there ever's a place for poetic prose, surely it's in a novel.

Things in the US up till about 10 years ago were much more like the German way of doing things.

The excessive positivity and no one being accountable for anything were conscious adaptations US management brought in around 2010 or so after there was so much press and academic pressure that everything had to be changed or millenials would refuse to work at any company that didn't change. It's possible the whole thing was a charade and that none of it was necessary to attract millenials or a more diverse/equitable employee mix.

Things in software are utterly unrecognizable compared to the 90s and early 2000s when people would yell at people for failures and there was far more accountability around failures and analysis of why things weren't working. It used to be a very "tell it like it is" culture. The way it is now there's pressure to sweep everything under the rug because of a fear that low performing employees will be offended.

Everything is hush hush and weird and the low performing employees are allowed to skate until they suddenly disappear.

The weirdness IME has even extended to where you're not allowed to talk about someone making a colossal mistake even if everyone knows who made the mistake due to a git blame or something. Not talking about it just leads to the mistake being made again and again till management makes the offender mysteriously disappear.

I'd somewhat suspect this trend in the US is probably not as prevalent in some sectors like maybe defense, though I have heard some crazy stories about useless employees being allowed to skate in that sector as well. Those are often huge companies where lots of this stuff happens.

A lot of Elon Musk's antics at twitter are basically just clumsy attempts to roll things back to the way they used to be. A lot of the excess of modern tech companies would have been unimaginable before the first .com boom. My early experiences were almost nothing was free in the office except coffee. When the team had a massive success there would be a big party, but other than that the company wasn't giving away all the free stuff all the time.

> Running highly scalable monoliths is easy! As long as you’re willing to hire some of the five to ten people in the world who are capable of advancing the state of the art of development on that technology stack…

I truly believe that being able to design and run a modular monolith application effectively (not talking about the 'hyperscale' scenario here) should be a prerequisite for designing and running a set of interconnected microsservices. The challenge is similar, but dealing with modular monoliths has the advantage of not having to deal with the uncertainty of networking programming (i.e. remote calls, network error handling, distributed transactions).

Is it, though? Yes, hate for something other people love (Teslas in your example) is everywhere, but the most successful places are those that let you regulate that, regulate it for you, or the culture refuses to accept it.

I'll disengage from Twitter when it's too negative and when I return its better, either because the russian trollfarm is sleeping, or Twitter notice I disengaged and works to 'do better'.

I mean this is a monologue though, and it’s specifically self indulgent self deprecating content, this poor guy is whining about how he’s so smart and so old and ugly and how could he have ever thought that someone as young and got as Hester would be satisfied with him. It’s character voice, and it’s illustrative - “without a modicum of merit?” Really? This passage tells a whole story in itself, and it’s a familiar, human story, that bitter men have always told and will always tell anyone with will listen. “I wasn’t good enough.”
to tack on, I personally feel conquering this existential loneliness is an empowerment and growth exercise. Not necessary but creates a rather clear perception of the world, with deeper meanings and vision therein

Humanities departments have been hyper-liberal since the 70s. The only thing that's changed is what hyper-liberal means (much the same as hyper conservative now implies the MAGA militia).

I blame the Internet for another reason: we're spending so much time online no one has time for face-to-face communication, either with friends or strangers.

I have some teenage year family members, and the amount of loneliness symptoms and behaviours I see in 16-18 years olds is staggering. I myself am suffering from it in my 30s, but I grew up in the middle of nowhere and I had more real-life interactions than most teenagers.

Online communication carries a lot of downsides, but the primary one is that is just does not activate the part of the brain that makes you feel like you're hanging out with a human. You know you're talking to a human even behind a screen, but it's just a high-level abstraction that often breaks down and is the reason even the best of people sometimes are total jerkwads online.

I grew up on the net, it gave me my first friends, and now it's making me so bloody lonely I am literally convinced I would feel more socially nourished if I lived in a shed in the woods and went to the city for shopping once a month. And there's just so many people everywhere. It's either your small Discord with the same friends, or social media at large where everyone is a stranger, just an avatar that has little to no impact whatsoever on your life.
In my experience, Amplify as a platform has been a nightmare to work with. It claims fast prototyping and developer convenience but the constant random failed deployments and the flaky CLI drain the momentum you would have with a batteries-included platform. I highly suggest to avoid this platform.
