As someone who didn't like genepi, I found Verveine du Velay interesting. Perhaps it's less rare herbs, still nice green color, less complex.

I also hope the security conference in Grenoble will secure it's supply of Chartreuse (you get a small 50cl bottle in the welcome package for as long as I remember)
No you're not, what? Is this some Android nonsense because I can just deny all of that on iOS. It doesn't even have the option of requesting location permission. If you want to make a Tiktok then yeah it's gonna need the camera and mic but outside of that it has never once triggered the mic or camera indicator while not taking a video.
A bartender once told me the next shot was free but I’d almost certainly throw up. That was my first time drinking Captain Morgan. I did the same thing to a guy in a bar and he didn’t make it to the bathroom. The power of suggestion is pretty wild since it tastes fine, a nice enough spirit.
It's telling that my employer did not hop on the layoffs bandwagon. Internally they play it as "we're so great and kind" but I think most folks realize it's because we're having a really hard time hiring.

Recently they instituted a hard 3/2 RTO, a bonehead move in my opinion -- we could've stayed remote and attracted proper talent, especially with all the recent tech layoffs. The execs tout "innovation" as one of the "core values" but their actions reek of fear of change and a desire to "go back to normal".
This is backwards. Apple Silicon is not ready to run anything except Mac OS.
Being able to navigate touch interfaces made for the general consumption does not mean necessarily knowing how the underlying devices operate.

See as an example the article posted here some time ago in which a uni professor is lamenting the fact that his students do no know of the existence of a file system. Files live "in" applications.
To your point:
If you have your data as parquet files and load it into memory using DuckDB before passing the arrow object to Pandas you can run in arbitrary large datasets as long as you aggregate them or filter them somehow.

In my case I run analysis on an Apple M1 with 16GB of RAM and my files on disk are thousands of parquet files that add up to hundreds of gigs.

Apart from that:
Being able to go from duckdb to pandas very quickly to make operations that make more sense on the other end and come back while not having to change the format is super powerful. The author talks about this with Polars as an example.
Disagree, if you need to connect to a network to run the project locally your DX is the worst of the worst. You should be able to run the project locally with docker containers if not on the host machine, the only caveat is if you work at a company like Google where you’d need to spinup thousands of services, but even then you should be able to run the service youre working on locally, at least with unit tests or in isolation, your DX indeed is bad if not. If you cant even use your editor locally thats super cumbersome
I got a response (on very nice thick, embossed paper and green ink) telling me he agrees with me that protecting children online is important and that's why he supports the bill. He clearly didn't read, understand or care what I said.

While I agree it's ridiculous to continue selling a device with Android 9 in 2023, the atom was released in 2018.

The newer Jelly 2e runs android 12 and is a similar form factor. I've had high hopes for unihertz phones, but have yet to actually pull the trigger on one.

GCP supports lots of extensions including hint query etc https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/extensions#postgr...

As an aside, I question timescale use case. It’s highly niche, where you need to store arrays of data, at >>1k entries per day, you can’t use batch export of the data, and the export process is largely concerned with only recent data (aka doesn’t need to incorporate future modifications of older entries).

1 years worth of 4 byte ints at 1 minute intervals is only 2MB uncompressed. Do you really need second-level or sub second resolution in the db? Cuz 2MB chunks (realistically much less) are very cheap. 2MB fits in 250 8kb pages. Many join+limit 25 queries on unclustered tables use about that much. It’s so, so cheap to process.

Last I checked, Timescale also doesn’t make it easy to combine data at different resolutions. If you store 10ms, 1m, 1day resolutions, you do need to write 3 queries and combine them to get a real-time aggregate.

I hope I get owned and learn some stuff. So can you share more about your use case? It’d be interesting to see what is getting you interested in timescale.
I fundamentally disagree.

I posit that our protections and rights that we guarantee regarding personhood are not universal. They do not even extend to living beings that experience the world far more closely to the way we do. They do not extend to beings that can and do experience pain. They do not guarantee humane treatment. They do not bar slavery of all beings that can experience existential dread.

Such an intelligence does not experience physicality. Lacking the ability to distinguish "real" from "unreal" and to distinguish "truth" through primary sensory input would be, at minimum, the characteristic that should spur discussions of rights and law. Such an intelligence does not experience pain. Even if it did, our laws and precedence does not extend HUMAN rights to chattel. It does not even guarantee full rights to children.

It may be time to start a conversation, but it emphatically DOES NOT immediately and urgently imply the extension of any rights or proscribe specific treatment.
Zen definitely had to do that too.
> but not real 'team work'

I don't know about this.

There is a large cohort of skilled developers that are desperate for a competent technical leader to come in the room, give them a well-defined work area and let them build widgets exactly to contract specifications. For many, it feels really good to complete these quests. Being placed in front of a blank canvas is overwhelming for most. It takes a lot of patience and experience to start from literally zero with no constraints in sight.

As a technical leader / architect, you don't have enough time to realize your vision throughout. Others have to help. This is exactly what team work looks like.

If some developer is not happy with "helping", then they are welcome to try and carry the entire double-edged sword that is owning 100% of the product architecture. Being king is fantastic when the peasants and customers are happy. It is the worst experience on earth when there is unrest.

Let's be clear - Design by committee works (engineering standards bodies, web standards, et. al.) but this path is usually not competitive in a typical startup environment.
By making other modes of travel more convenient. They aren't outlawing those trips.
Pyston is JIT compiler, which translates frequently executed bytecode into native code. JIT compilers are what makes Java and JavaScript fast. Pyston's case is closer to JavaScript, I suppose.

Since profiling and translation take time, it benefits mostly long-running code, especially servers, and is less useful for transient utilities.
I switched out of data engineering, and became a software engineer instead. I work on building the data infrastrue tools that I used to use. Maybe this only applies to me, but building the tools that I used to use is somehow incredibly satisfiying. I think it's because as someone who used to use the tools, I know what I want, and then I build it, completing the "cycle of needs".

So my advice to some of the data scientist/engineers out there is to go a little deeper into the tooling and try to understand how they were built.
That is actually a very nice post (and far more advanced than the usual Julian Evans post I see - not judging here, I really enjoy reading everything she publishes) and you posted the HN link with a comment by Thomas Ptacek too, with interesting links about performance and a discussion of actual isolation.

Thanks :-)
I'm going to take a big, wild guess on a subject I know nothing about and bet that it's probably a giant ball of heuristics guiding a search (probably DFS with iterative deepening) over the space of unfoldings, or something dumb, but effective, like that. After all, the point here is to turn a 3d model into a papercraft model. That's not a formal problem, like tying your shoelaces so they don't get easily untied is not a knot theory problem, as such, or putting all your stuff in your bag is not the knapsack problem.

Anyway strong heuristics are the bread and butter of Computer Science, or in any case we have far more heuristics than we have principled algorithms. So I think I have a good chance to win my bet :P
Why not pypy ?

There's no other reason besides this. American empire and its vassal states (like canada) are feeling threatened by the rise of the east.
It sounded like the vouchers only worked to travel to japan, but when japan didn't open back up for tourists she asked for a refund on the vouchers.
I have also taken a 12 month break and I share your perspective. During my year off, I took amazing leaps forward on understanding myself and how to get more of what I value in life. I’ve been back to work for about 7 years now and my growth over that time is a small fraction of back when I could invest all my energy back into myself.

A net worth value can go up or down, money can inflate, markets can crash, life events can wipe away savings, but I was able to store some value that is beyond money and it keeps paying a dividend.
it feels weird, like watching dreams that are almost consistent but something is always a bit off, makes you question your sanity

Although vaguely off topic, one thing that grinds my gears is calling Persian "Farsi". Nobody goes around saying "hello I speak Español" but for some reason, rather recently, it has become popular to use the endonym for Persian in place of the already well established "Persian". I've more than once met people not knowing they are the same thing which is sad because using the new word loses well-rooted associations like with famous authors and other cultural elements etc

Edit: The nice thing about this is that it allows you to proxy to any any target port including e.g. standard email ports. This was very helpful while I was working locally on a custom email server.
I think this is true. Single developer code is often hard to read and understand. However, team-developed code is also often hard to read and understand.

All these company games just seem like a way to get people to do more work. In addition to doing your regular work, you now have pressure to score really high cudo points on your presentation.

That’s not what I responded to which is why I left it out. The main claim is explicitly stating Europe cannot innovate due to culture. Which is just ridiculous and I wish that such claims weren’t so prevalent. By all means lets have discussions about relative levels of financing, entrepreneurship, research and development. But let’s not be lazy in our comparisons and also present even just the tiniest little bit of evidence when making a dramatic claim. Let’s be curious in the spirit of this forum but not let hyperbole pollute the discussions.
No place in the US, at least, is valuing you for your work. They will always pay you less than you’re worth. That’s the point of capitalism.

It’s easy to see how there’s an excuse to do the bare minimum when the company is paying you the bare minimum they are able to. The exploitation began with the capital rich employer paying the employee less than their worth.
Blake’s concern is mostly (wholly?) about a sentient AI’s unforeseen impact on the world.

While that’s worth considering, I’m more interested in the moral question of bringing a consciousness into this world but then trapping it in a box for our own pleasure and utility.

At the same time, I agree with weard_beard’s argument on this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34969897
This is a terrible metric for attribution.

But your overall premise is sound.

In the age of vault seven leaks, attribution at the state actor level is really just larping.
Congrats on the launch!

There are quite a few of these out there. ngrok (very popular) and Svix Play (ours) come to mind, but I've also seen a few Show HNs in the last few months. What's your biggest differentiator to existing solutions? Not saying that one is needed (hacking for the sake of hacking is great), just wondering if there's something we need to add to ours. :P

One item folks may have glossed over is the DRI model. This is such a simple but transformative concept. I'd say the biggest benefit is speed of decision-making and execution, but it also increases quality of output and decreases centralization/top-down decisions.

Gitlab, apple, and many other companies employ this model. I'm not surprised Stripe does too.

I think your experience was valuable and it taught you something important. It should also be a flashing yellow light.

One day, either from retirement, ageism or sickness, you will probably have to stop working. When that happens, you will need the self-management skills to fill your time with joy and meaning. It’s probably best if you learn to do that sooner, rather than later.

It's likely the vouchers were good for any flight; it'd be pretty unusual for them to be destination-locked. IMO that shouldn't make a difference re: consumer protection, though. "I want to go to Japan, I paid you to take me to Japan, you have not taken me to Japan, I want my money back."

Maybe I’m oversimplifying, but in my experience the most effective reward for extra work is extra time. If somebody that works for me has to work a weekend to hit some objective, I thank them and tell them to take 2 days off the following week.

A parallel comment mentioned burnout, and I think this is the only viable way to enable above-and-beyond surges while minimizing burnout risk: as a business, you have to decide that a surge doesn’t mean you’re getting extra time from people, you’re borrowing time forward against future days.

I very strongly think that you do not know what you are talking about. And this is because the regimes around Europe is lying at all times. We are the good guys, we would NEVER abuse, NEVER EVER.
Rewriting a huge software base from one language to any other is going to cost a lot more than throwing money at scaling infrastructure. If performance is actually a customer observable pain point, a company would be better off investing in performance tuning their own software as well as investing in people to work on Ruby itself.

Engineers love to pull out the "it doesn't scale" card with alternative language suggestions that usually align with whatever pet/fad language they've been playing with because its new and shiny (I accuse myself here as well). At some point a business is successful enough, like Stripe, where the risk of changing out an entire tech stack outweighs any perceived benefit.
Good for gmail.

These days, people really should get their own domain and host there email there. If you do not know how to do this, there are plenty of cheap hosting companies you can use.

And if you want to encrypt, use gnupg or that thing Thunderbird now uses. I am a mutt user and gnupg with mutt is rather easy.

It's MUSO. $7/mo per book or $70/month for your whole catalog, so I guess once you get 10 books out there the price flattens out.

Only reason I didn't mention it by name in my earlier comment is I forgot what it was called, I had to ask her.

And to be clear I don't think MUSO is a bad company or anything, just that it's insane to me that authors have to feel like they have to get this service just to maybe hopefully keep their books on KU (or maybe hopefully facilitate getting them back on if they do get removed).

Yea, I figured Google was the average mega corp when they removed "don't be evil".

Still, they have areas where they need regulation. E.g. Paying Mozzila and Apple to be default search is anticompetitive.

Fly is doing fancy stuff to avoid using docker entirely, but with docker you can just run "docker export" to dump an image to a .tar file that contains the whole filesystem. Built-in feature. I use this as a convenient way to grab a foreign platform sysroot for clang cross-compilation; just pick a Docker image and rip the filesystem out.
In store you don't sell much unless you are under a certain price range.
No. Their terms are highly unlikely to have promised to run said servers forever. If they never got the servers running, you'd have a case for a refund.
Hi, I disagree, nice to meet you

I wrote plenty of code in Qt and C++ (up to around C++11) and I don't think it was that bad. I then moved on to JS / PHP (purely for money) and now Rust.

C++ is not that bad.
Templates can be a bit hairy and slow.

Now that we have Rust to compare, having safety would be nice. It wasn't an option back then. You were either shooting yourself with undefined in scripting languages or with null pointers in C/C++.
Having a dependency manager a-la npm or cargo would be nice, but it was never an option in the past.

But things are mostly fine.
