Rather, UN. See e.g. various votes last year.

> NATO has a population of about 950 Million. M - Million.

Yeah, BRICS is 3240-ish Million. M - Million. And NATO - ~0.95 Billion. B - Billion.

And the cherry on top which is more important - in NATO countries opinions are much close to the actual opinions of people, while in BRICS R, I and C are various degrees of autocracies. Just ask people in Russia what do they think about the events in Ukraine, and you won't even need to remind them of laws which essentially prohibit non-official point of view.

In that case for the SQL, you would be pulling in data from one table, putting it into another. in the ORM I would similarly model it by having an abstract model to hold the general shape of the table, and then one read-only model and another for writing. With some helper functions to pull the data from one or the other.

Though if you are working with views and not materialized views, performance wise "use .annotate when fetching data" will be roughly as performant as using a view. Views just end up getting swapped out when the planner deals with the query (in Postgres at least).

Of course I get this cuz I spent a lot of time with the ORM. I think it's easy for people to think "there must be a magic option somewhere in the ORM to do this", but sometimes there's no magic. The counterpoint, though, is you have Python behind all of this so stuff like "share schema definitions between classes" is easy and straightforward in my experience (including on projects with like...80+ models, some with way too many fields, so I get your pain). It might not be the exact API you want though

if you were using google drive to store images (e.g., you automated a camera system to take high res pictures), you can easily reach this limit.

Of course, it definitely is much nicer to have S3 over google drive for such a solution, but if you didn't want to write software (which you'd need for S3), and simply used the google drive's sync'ing features...
Yeah it's easy for you because it's two people's full time job to maintain it? Many of us are having to learn it and use it in our spare time, or on top of our other work. We wouldn't necessarily know the best practices, or to use newrelic and datadog, or what to use for external secrets, external dns, how to diagnose and debug the issues which inevitably will occur when setting it up.

Now this is true for doing it without k8s too, but somehow there was never a huge set of blog posts about "it's really hard to set up a load balancer and a secrets service and networking" but there is for k8s, so there must something intrinsic in either its design or its documentation that is causing that. I think it's probably that k8s is designed for google-scale deployments, so for most people the initial burst of complexity is a bit overwhelming.
Badly wrong, in part because your prompt was badly wrong, because there is no short regex to validate an email address. (It needs a way of saying “I can’t complete that because the prompt makes no sense for this reason”.)

What it emitted accepts a large number of invalid addresses (due to things like not checking dot placement, and the inexplicable (…)+ wrapping around the entire thing), and doesn’t accept a large number of valid addresses (some comparatively esoteric, like local parts containing any of !#$%&'*/=?^`{|}~ or IP addresses for the domain name, and some very reasonable, like TLDs of more than six characters, or internationalised TLDs even in Punycode form).

The description it emits does not match the regular expression at all well, either.

The second regex it emits is even worse than the first, unnecessarily uses PCRE-specific syntax, and is given with a nonsensical description. (Note: the asterisks got turned into italics, backslash-escape them here on HN. With this fixed, the regex was \A[\w.]*@[\w.]*\.\w{1,4}\z.)

> on the very surface scan seems OK

And there’s the danger of this stuff. As a subject-matter expert on regex and email, I glanced at the regular expression and was immediately appalled (… quite apart from the whole “here we go again, this is certain to be terrible” cringe on the prompt). But it looks plausible enough if you aren’t.

I feel silly for saying this, but it's very obvious that rule breaking is not the same as acting immorally.

Machines should be able to speak in realistic voices. Every cool future I can imagine includes that. Why muzzle it just because people can be scammed with it?? People get scammed by jpgs, random people calling and saying they're from the bank or the IRS. I'm really not interested in limiting what humanity can accomplish to account for folks getting scammed. Many of them will get scammed anyway. What we should do is make it easier for these individuals to learn how to not get scammed or to come up with scam insurance for the ridiculously gullible. I'm just spitballing, but banning cool technology because people can be scammed is overkill.

I am sure that a lot of atheists are flattered hearing this, but come on, they heard about it online, or even from the community's conniptions about outsiders. For that matter "what if what I see with my eyes is what is real" does not take a big I.Q. to think of.
> but I keep getting distracted by my desire to work on the stack itself instead of the core business offering

The answer should be obvious. You are selling the end product, not your tech stack. For an early stage company there is zero benefit to wasting time on pointless engineering purism. You should use as much SaaS and other pre-built software as you possibly can and spend 100% of your effort on your core offering.
I think icloud is pretty decent as a solution, but one thing I think is kind of worrying is that it unlocks with the same "key" as your phone.

So if someone sees your PIN code, they can not only unlock your phone, they can get all of your passwords and change those passwords very quickly.

I enjoy 1Password being separate in that regard, and I would really like it if the iOS keychain would let you set a separate password in that respect.
Setting it up is relatively easy, keeping it running consistently while navigating the schizophrenic levels of change and indecision on how things are done is another bag of chips. No need for passive aggression.

It’s not overly complicated, it’s just trying to serve everyone’s use cases. I’ve tried deploying to 10k servers with custom scripts in Jenkins, bamboo and AWS auto scaling groups but I’ve found kubernetes is the only tool that will elegantly handle a problem. You can probably write a script for the happy path but for a production service I’d bet my money on something that can handle all of the problems that come along with the statistics blow ups at scale. That said, I can be complete overkill for most systems.

"I used this technique in my own emoji-picker-element. If you’re already using Svelte in your project, then you can import 'emoji-picker-element/svelte' and get a version that doesn’t bundle its own framework, ensuring de-duplication. This saves a paltry 1.4 kB out of 13.9 kB total (compressed), but hey, it’s there. (Potentially I could make this the default behavior, but I like the bundled version for the benefit of folks who use <script> tags instead of bundlers.

They are not for majority of programs, but they are essential in the niches that Rust and Zig target.

The industrial revolution by in large funded itself. It was the result of the discovery of synergies between several technologies, such as transporting massive amounts of coal using water pumped out of coal mines using pumps powered by that coal. The more coal you dig, the more coal you can dig. Cheap coal in cities means you can have bigger factories in cities and more people living in cities to work in those factories, which made cheap goods that in turn supported even more people living in cities. Cycles such as this generated an immense amount of wealth and it would have taken over the world whether or not Europe was also doing colonialism stuff at the same time. If Europe had been limited to buying cotton at fair market values without colonizing people at the same time, that would not have stopped the industrial revolution. Colonialism was not a necessary prerequisite for industrialization.

> The only semi-serious use of Twitter polls I've ever seen is stuff like "which game should I stream next". It's very obviously not a representative sampling of anything except your most engaged followers.

Unless you manage to achieve global representation, most polls work by taking a sample from a specific population. In this case, it usually involves a segment of your followers or, occasionally, a broader Twitter audience. However, it clearly does not include people who refrain from participating in random Twitter polls.

The polling conducted by your online newspaper represents a portion of their readers. When they perform on-the-ground reporting, the sample consists of people present at the actual physical location, and so on.

This is the reason we aggregate multiple polls to obtain global numbers because individual polls inevitably have a limited audience, one way or another.

I'm quite familiar with pg's essay, and the idea that he's arguing that "Rules, laws , morality are for other people" is laughable. Sure, it's fair to argue against his point, but one of the main thing he highlights in his essay is clearly knowing the difference between rules and laws that are morally important, versus ones that came about through regulatory capture or "tradition".

Most societies have at least some tradition of celebrating "good trouble".

Holy crap, if that number is even remotely accurate then museums have roughly 1 object for every 106 humans that are estimated to have ever lived in the last 192,000 years [1]. Obviously a power law is in effect and a tiny fraction that have ever lived have objects that survive them to this day, and a significant fraction of those objects are animal fossils and other stuff that is unrelated to humans, but it's still a staggering statistics.

I figured there were at most thousands of museums with tens of thousands of objects each, on average.

Y'all need not just GDPR, but a variant of it that comes with criminal penalties as well. Right now, if illegal behavior increases profit by more than 4% of your company's revenue, just doing it for as long as you can get away with it then paying the fine is unfortunately a no-brainer for companies.
