The issue is that there is no need for software to be incredibly slow by default. This used not to be the case. Back in the day you just wrote straightforward code in C (or C++) and you got good performance for free.

It makes sense that people want to use a programming language that allows for rapid prototyping if they want to get V1 out of the door. That's fine. But that doesn't explain why languages like Python and Ruby are incredibly slow in the first place. These are 20 year old languages that people have invested a ton of effort into. And despite a full decade of trying to make the languages faster they're still slow to point of near unusability.

These languages, along with PHP and Javascript, were designed by people who paid zero attention to the performance consequences of the design decisions they made. Today, after industry having spend untold billions (yes, with a B) on trying to get the performance to an acceptable level getting anything written in these interpreted languages to run at an acceptable speed is painful.

We are collectively wasting untold hours because our programming environments are bad, the languages are bad, the libraries we use are bad, and the standards are bad. This is not to say it's all hopeless, but we could be doing a lot better if we didn't focus so much on "moving fast and breaking things" and pursued quality instead.
Because they use the Google ecosystem and don't want to deal with yet one more account with yet one more company. Easier to keep things in one place.

Hopefully the AI would come in and shame you for storing tax returns in cloud storage.
Stannous fluoride delivers fluoride like sodium fluoride, but is also anti-gingivital. It didn’t take off because the product would break down in storage, leading to a tinny taste when used. I believe it was Colgate who, in the early noughties, found a way to stabilise it, I believe with the addition stannous chloride.

Toothpaste has two purposes: taste and fluoride. Stannous fluoride delivers both with anti-gingivit benefits to boot. As a layman, I’m not sure why sodium fluoride remains the default.
Not convinced this is because of investors. Investors want high returns on invested capital and these growth initiatives are often the opposite of that (see Meta's Metaverse play which investors hated). Executives want to empire build at the expense of both employee stability AND shareholder returns.
Disclaimer; I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.

A copyright license is a copyright license: in theory, all a copyright license does is give you additional rights to use something. Using a license like Apache 2 for binaries is somewhat unconventional, but it's totally possible. It (obviously) does not give you access to the source code, and I think this could never work with the GPL and other copyleft licenses because they use wording that implies you need to distrubute the source code, which you don't have.

The copyright owner, of course, has ownership, so their obligations don't really change by virtue of giving someone a copyright license. As far as I know, they could give someone a license to use something that is completely invalid and could never actually be used, and they can definitely do things like stop distributing under one license and switch to another. They own the source code, and they own the binaries (I believe the binaries would be considered a sort of derivative work in copyright terms, but again, not a lawyer.) So when they distribute a binary under a given license, it's unrelated to any particular distribution of source code. The only time this gets complex is when the ownership of a asset is split among many disparate parties, at which point everyone is pretty much beholden to the copyright licenses; like open source projects without CLAs. But if they own the source code entirely, they could, for example, distribute some source code under GPL, but then distribute modified binaries under a commercial license with a EULA, and not redistribute the modified source code, since it's their code to license to others, not a license they are subjected to themselves.
I make carbonated water at home and I get a LOT of CO2 into my bottles. It definitely tasted sour so I add a tiny bit of baking soda as and acid regulator.
We have MySQL/MariaDB in RDS and ever since we migrated MariaDB to 10.6.12 we get at least 1 table corruption per day. Only work around available is to restart database just like windows-95.
You'll find people on HN and reddit sometimes using these fillers, like "umm", and I find it is often tinged with a bit of snark.
When TVs were 4:3 and media playback was sending signals to control an electron gun, letterboxing was how you presented a 2.39:1 panavision feature. You’re screwed on resolution, but the framing is correct. HandBrake and other tools recognize and crop the matte giving you back a video in the correct aspect ratio (albeit still interlaced).

Edit: With the exception of getting LaserDisc releases of various vintages, the DVD release is the best, most accessible (excluding rarity) home video release of the original, unedited trilogy. They are not the highest quality, no doubt, but they are the best that was released. It could be argued that the despecialized editions are better for this reason or that, I personally consider them an incredible novelty, rather than a reference release.
Probably literally 1,000x as many people have seen that comic, as have ever visited the site it originated on. And that may be an underestimate.

I generally prefer the taste of cashew or almond milk, but the whole "Cow milk is for baby cows" is really weak logic. Chickens don't lay eggs for us, potatoes don't root for us, most of our food is not produced by it's source intended for our nutrition. If something is healthy for us or not has little to do with it being "for us".
This is frustrating to square with the large military expenditures we make in this country. What is the use of the most advanced weaponry if you cannot produce them yourself when shit hits the fan?

This is what I don't get: if you have an accessibility layer that is fully usable, that means you have the capability to describe your user interface using only speech/text.

So what are you doing that couldn't be performant in the DOM? Because any kind of fast updates that you're doing with a lot of triangle that are too fast to render into an XML tree are also going to be happening too fast to describe with a screen reader.

The DOM is asking you to be able to describe your interface -- performantly -- in entirely pure text. If you can't do that, then there's no way you can be fully accessible, because the screen reader needs to be able to describe your interface -- performantly -- in entirely pure text.

That is a highly inaccurate description of what happened. When the bus rapid transit lane was approve inspection showed that the infrastructure underneath was in dire need of maintenance, so the project attended that first in order to avoid simply digging up the newly built lane in the short term as old infrastructure failed. San Francisco has many problems and has made many mistakes recently, but this is an example of taking the time and money to get things right.
I don't care about realism, I just want Neo Wick to go pew pew pew with his flat lined emotional expressions, dodging bullets while taking revenge for his dead dog with what seems 5 movies ago.
"...thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread."
U.S. Economy Grew at 1.1% Rate in First Quarter
A 9mm round (most typical in John Wick) is around 600J of muzzle energy (and John Wick fights are extremely close range so we can use the same estimate for impact). That's in the range of a strong punch by a good boxer (a good heavyweight can be well over 1000J).

Punches don't ragdoll humans and neither should bullets stopped by a ballistic vest.
And maybe those identities will be magically synced to and from central servers, which would not be so great.
I know it's popular to dunk on Facebook and other companies but maybe we should take a moment and think about where Europe is heading.

The article mentioned that ad revenue is declining in Europe so maybe that 10% could become 9% very soon and so on. Maybe slowly it would make sense for companies to not care about Europe anymore and Europe with its regulation heavy approach may not even care. I do believe that Europe needs to rethink its approach before it goes into terminal decline.

Did he? I seem to remember a quip in one of the presentations about German not being comprehensible to him being his own problem, because he never learned German.

This seems the exact opposite of what the current crop of AI is good at.
does your method work well ?
Way back in the day before space was a non-issue I bought a used pioneer 720 disk DVD changer. Wrote a frontend to control it and mount the DVDs over iscsi for my media center.

Also many years back when I was traveling all the time I created a thing based off the what 3 words data where I could geo drop messages at a location. My friends and I used it for a while but then just forgot about it.
Let me see if I am understanding what you are saying correctly. Docker microservices running a python backend and a JS frontend with 1000 dependencies for a web-based UI for basic car control systems?

Edit: Fuck it, let's put some AI in there too. Volume adjustments should pass through a 100M parameter model first to determine if we should change the volume and by how much.

Doesn't take deep learning to realize that car infrastructure is never going to be cheap or safe compared to prioritizing mass transit and density.
The problem of "find a series of bytes that is a valid transaction sending these bitcoins to me" is an NP problem. When you can solve arbitrary "find satisfying input" problems, details like "the public key is hashed" don't matter. It's adjusting what it means to be valid, not changing the nature of the problem to be out of scope of "find satisfying input".
When it comes to defense spending this is abnormal

Most of the time they want to put the supply chain across as many congressional districts as possible to make it politically hard to close any program as it would "cut jobs" in more districts

much hard to cut spending if 10,000 jobs across 250 districts are impacted, then if 10,000 job across 5 districts are impacted

But what if you never had the source form? You can’t redistribute what you never had…

This is actually an interesting question. But I can’t see how a binary only distribution would be in the spirit of the Apache license.
Show HN: Self-Hosted Email Service via Cloud Run
This is a quickly deployable self-hosted solution for sending emails using your own GMail account. I found it perfect for quick prototyping. It's hosted in your Google Cloud Project, requiring minimal configuration. The main goal is to streamline the process of sending out emails via POST requests, without the hassle of setting up new accounts outside of your project, etc.

I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have. This is the first time I'm sharing something here so hope this is the right thread. Happy coding!
Conversion to residential is probably quite a bit more. The cost of the modern office building conversion described in the New York Times article mentioned on this thread wasn't given, but the resulting condos were selling for $3-$4 million.
Do you think the ability to recall private information like that will more valuable to you, the user, or to data aggregators, advertisers, and service providers?

Good to know. I also associate lager with Pilsener and northern Germany so I realize now that I was totally off. Also the connection between Reinheitsgebot and ale/lager yeasts was new. I didn't know that the type of yeast was specified in the law.

No worries, it's a Culture suit with a built-in trapdoor system (Iain M. Banks)

> "Trapdoor system: A mechanism that transports any unwanted energy inside of the ship into hyperspace, so it can't be destroyed by internal attacks. It was stated that you could set off an H-bomb inside of a Culture ship if you were right next to it, and all of the energy would be instantly transported into hyperspace so it would seem like nothing had happened at all." (outskirtsbattledomewiki)
on the other hand, a bullet isn't stopped by bullet proof fabric, it's stopped by what's behind it. If I take a 9mm round to the arm then my arm is breaking. That 600J is focused on a much smaller area than a heavyweight punch.
This depends on what kind of data they're collecting. The most common kinds of telemetry data is not actually particularly useful for that, and usage of it for selling advertising, especially to third parties, would be contradictory to most privacy policies (now how much you trust that they are actually following their own policy is another matter: and dropbox does call out that they may try to use this data to upsell you on their own products).

Nonetheless, the potential is there and GDPR does consider it personal data from the point of view of consent, so dropbox is almost certainly violating the rules here even if they do not sell the data for advertising (as unlike the actual data they store, it is not necessary for providing the service, merely useful to the company for improving their service). Such telemetry almost certainly requires an opt-out, and most likely should be an opt-in as far as GDPR is concerned.
Trust is not the same for everyone. One model of trust is: A trusts B to do C.

Nubank is releasing the binary permissively. You might want more, but this is not a breach of trust.

Datomic has been around for more than 10 years, so there is ample data to base expectations.
I agree though, it was quick.

It seems like most of the time when there's some kind of outrage (at least on HN) there's just silence for 20 - 40 days, then some kind of announcement that either doubles down or backs off. This whole outrage started what, Yesterday?

This article argues that the British should keep the Parthenon marbles. The logic is that if you steal enough stuff from enough places around the world you can then make the argument that you should not have to give them back because it provides people the opportunity to appreciate them all together "in context". As if Athens is out of context!
The only people I've ever met who know who this person is IRL outside of Mongolia are Kaiserreich players. You can imagine what it's like interacting with such people...
Protests are organised to do what they have to do and they're not done with oodles of cash. The marches had hundreds of thousands of people in them stretching over a long distance. It wasn't even possible to fit in the final destination.

In fact my local Turkish society shindig for April 23 had connection problems despite only having 500 people in a hall and those people are collecting for earthquake victims so there's no money for luxuries.

If, however, 5G helped make this problem go away then hurray. It would be worth it.

Or Baraka and Samsara if you'd prefer films of the same tradition, minus the somewhat over-the-top Philip Glass scores (which I enjoy more on their own than as part of the films).
The State on MTV is one of these too. They had an interesting deal where they could use literally the entire MTV catalog of music for the show, but didn't have license to use any of it for distribution of the show afterwards. That made producing the show cheap, and up'd the quality since you'd have these hilariously scenes of mock teenage angst or whatever with REM's "Everybody Hurts" playing in the background. But in the long run, it sort of hurt a lot of careers of the comedians since the music was so entwined in the sketches distribution was all but impossible, and much of the future work from them are themselves cult hits, but haven't really become part of the cultural fabric. Comedies like Wet Hot American Summer or Drop Dead Gorgeous or Super Troopers.
The first step is to encode some decent password cracking challenge into an NP complete problem - choose 3 SAT or something similarly well understood. Then encode that 3sat problem into the paper’s solution domain.

If you get a password in polynomial time you are golden.
Consider this use case - in addition to your web app, you have a reporting service that makes heavy duty reports; if you run one at a bad time, bad things might happen like users not being able to log in or do any other important work, because the database is busy with the reports.

So in a traditional DB you might have a DBA set up a reporting database so the operational one is not affected. Using Datomic the reporting service gets a datomic peer that has a copy of the DB in database without any extra DBA work and without affecting any web services. This also works nicely with batch jobs or in any situation where you don't want to have different services affect each others performance.

Its true that a lot more memory gets used, but it is relatively cheap - usually the biggest cost when hosting in the cloud being the vCPUs. But usually in Clojure/Datomic web application you don't need to put various cache services like Redis in front of your DB.

Thea assumption here is that the usual bottleneck for most information systems and business applications is reading and querying data.

The option to "sign in with" a third-party provider is already extremely widespread and most people prefer it.

But U2F/Fido identities are better in that the people who prefer to ensure their keys are in escrow with a corporate overlord can choose to do that, while security-conscious people can go a step further and use physical security keys or third-party solutions with different sync mechanisms.

Oh, thank you. Now I'm confused to be honest, I've encountered lignin theory stated as a fact in a few books and I have no basis to tell who's right.

Why does it always have to be "it's complicated".
My guess is they bought the company because they were already too invested in Datomic. So it was kind of forced to minimize risk.
This is a fine example of citizen data science. I am curious why the vision stuff needs to run online. Would it be just as useful to collect the images for a week and run the analysis offline? Seems to solve some of the energy and frame rate issues.

That just pushes the problem around, yes?

I don't know what permissions an app might be using, but if they can access your wifi network they can read the names of the access points around you and feed them to massive databases that list every access point and what its location is to get a very good idea of where you are (within the distance of the range of your nearest wifi routers).

If it has access to bluetooth it can do the same thing, except companies also make heavy use of bluetooth beacons so that they have fixed points to log you at. The range on some beacons is so far that you couldn't even see them but others can log your location within a foot or so. Stores use bluetooth beacons to track where customers in their building walk, how fast they walk, what direction they go, where they stop, what they stop in front of, and how long it was until they started moving again. They can uniquely identify your device and keep detailed maps your movements over time.

If you give an app access to your camera they can see whatever is around you, scan your own selfies and pictures for clues, and even access your microphone. People have been able to get a location from ambient sound alone but there are also audio beacons that are used to track you which broadcast sound outside the range of human hearing.
