> Are you saying that someone with mental health problems not killing themselves is any less worthy a cause than treating someone with cancer?

Not at all. I merely stated that there’s a competition in resources between the two.

Innovations that improve the quality/cost of mental health treatment are therefore still valuable in an NHS system where treatment is free to the patient because they allow more resources to be directed towards the rest of the healthcare system. Or alternatively, expand the coverage of mental health treatment for the same budget.
This cannot come soon enough.

I like Postgres. I've used it in production in the past as a default choice. I want to like Postgres. But I find my enthusiasm for using Postgres again in the future severely dampened by just how bad Postgres's replication story is.

Currently, Postgres has two options for replication:

- Physical replication, which is not binary-compatible between major versions, meaning that upgrading your database requires downtime

- Logical replication, which doesn't replicate DDL (let alone atomic DDL)

This is frankly silly. It seems like PostgreSQL's storage layer hasn't been improved much over the years and is now becoming quite an issue. It's actually surprising to me, since the binary compatibility break with every major version you would think would give them exactly the opportunity they need to make improvements here.

This isn't even to go into other issues like the XID wraparound issue, etc. It's time the world's most advanced open source database had a decent storage layer.

> While living in the yurt experienced 2-3 strong storms, at my site up to 120km/h I would estimate. I'm kind of a slow learner at first as I had to fix and fasten the yurt while the storm was underway as I often hoped the ropes I used were sufficient, and experienced they were not.

> It's worth noticing, the storms affects the roof mostly, no impact to the wall as I noticed, me using 90° lattice angle and bamboo, with stretching the rain wall cover below the floor and use one rope on that height, almost on the ground, all around to fasten it (as seen on a photo above already). Some people put some small laths on the floor to fixate the lattice wall on the floor, or screw the door frame on the floor, both which I didn't do.

It is kind of like an ORM. I find ORM's and semantic layers to be similar in many ways, except that semantic layers are meant for defining metrics too. These metrics describe aggregating data. Like summing order amounts to get revenue, or counting order_ids to get sales.

The whole early period of web development is quite interesting. The decision about the licensing was not the only crucial decision which made it succeed, like release of libwww, focus on super simple browser which works on any platform (line mode) or introduction of gateways ...

You wouldn't necessarily make it (easily) publically available.

When someone dials 999 in the UK, the call goes to the 999 handling centre where it's directed on to the appropriate agency (Police, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance, Coastguard etc - often one will pick it up and then bring the rest). Both the 999 receiving centre and the agency that the call is handed off to get the location of the caller, but only if it came in via a 999 line, got handed over via a "999 to agency" line, and then over a special dedicated connection that you most definitely do not have.

I'd expect that for something like self-driving cars it'd use the opposite of "Greenwave" which will adjust green light timings on routes to suit emergency vehicles. I know that city buses where I used to live also had Greenwave and would update their control room with their GPS position, which would then "nudge" traffic light timing to speed them up or slow them down so they ran to schedule.

A bench vise might not necessarily destroy the chip at all, unless care is taken to crush the chip itself from edge to edge somehow, or to flatten the chip itself to the point of small fragments — having separated it out from the rest of the phone, at which point drilling is easier.
Having just seen a production of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas I had to blink a couple times and recalibrate my brain.
I'll give you something much simpler than all of those things: having enough food, having housing that doesn't leak, having running water, having electricity, having access to schooling, having toilets, not having nearly every street in the city be a dirty mud pool full of trash, having safe streets mostly devoid of violent crimes.

None of those things were a given when I grew up. Those things ard still not a given in many countries in which the west tried to forcefully introduce western liberal democracy, where they all focus on things like "freedom of association" at the expense of freedom from poverty.

When you are poor, you are not free, no matter how much you can voice your opinion.

I am sorry but seeing my parents and grandparents working their asses off in a society where your next meal is not guaranteed, lifting 800M people out of poverty, seeing my hometown stop being a trashy mudpool and seeing the elimination of child abductions, count for much more to me than any amount of VPN annoyance. In the grand scheme of things, these are still literally the best 30 years out of 3000 years.

I’ve always had trouble balancing between working on things that I consider to be important vs things that I am excited about. In my experience I’ve always gotten good results from the things I’m excited about and not what I consider to be important.

I... what?
What fascism and most countries that have called themselves "communist" have in common is authoritarianism.

95% of what most Americans criticize as "the evils of communism" are, in fact, the evils of authoritarian systems; it just happens that the big authoritarian system that was in opposition to America for decades called itself communist. Much like North Korea calls itself "democratic".

And while fascism is, indeed, anti-equality, the inequality it seeks to foster is almost always between a cultural in-group and Everyone Else. Furthermore, fascism does not always seek to murder the Other; it also seeks to forcibly assimilate them.

Guess what Mao did in China: systematically eradicated massive swathes of Chinese culture—or rather, cultures, because there were many differences between what it meant to be, say, Han Chinese vs Mongolian or Tibetan. The Uyghur genocide that is ongoing today is just an extension of that—and yes, it fits quite well with fascist ideals.
If you're building anything more than toys or tinkering; if you're actually trying to design a product or something functional you want to use, a 3d printer.

I resisted getting a 3d printer for a long long time. This is coming from a man with a fully kitted-out woodworking shop, 2 CNC machines, welding equipment and a lot more.

I didn't see the 3d printer as being for anything besides miniature figurines and cheap tat, because that's 99 percent of what you see people printing. But it's SO useful. Adapters, enclosures, brackets, 3d printers take care of solving all those little niggly bits that are really hard to fabricate by traditional methods.

I recently upgraded to a Bambu X1 Carbon and highly recommend it. I also have a cheap flashforge resin printer which is great.

Two things I've used my printers to make, that have ended up as actual products; a guitar pedal enclosure FDM printed box with an open top, I used aluminium PCB panels from jlcpcb.com as the front panels. The result is a very professional and sleek looking design that's tough as hell. The other one is transparent push buttons for a Eurorack synth module I'm working on. I used my resin printer for this, and it allows me to make a custom button layout that sits on top of mini tact switches with backlights, and gives a user interface similar to custom-made carbon membrane buttons. - similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber_keypad
> Human time costs way more than CPU time.

Few mantras have done more to damage the quality of software world than this one, sorry to say.

In the realm of commercial software that is rarely true. The cost of writing more performant (and/or more memory efficient) code is amortized among all the users and all the time the code will ever run.

It might seem silly to the programmer to spend a week to reduce runtime of some operation by a second. But if that operation is run once a day by merely a million customers, it actually saves 278 hours per day collectively so it is totally worth it.

Let alone if it is code that runs multiple times per minute and there are billions of users.

And that's just wallclock time. If the code runs on mobile devices, more efficient code will lead to longer battery life. (And even on machines always on A/C power we should give a thought to wasting CPU which means wasted electricity with the associated environmental impact if it's code running at a large scale.) More memory efficient code leads to less memory pressure and a more responsive pleasant system to use. And so on.
I hesitate to give unprompted quasi-medical advice to a stranger online, but if the potentially harmful treatment you're referring to is biologic therapy, just know that millions of people have taken TNF inhibitors for decades to positive ends. There are risks, to be sure, but not necessarily greater than the risk of untreated autoimmune disease—runaway inflammation is linked to heart problems, for example, and untreated Crohn's/colitis massively increases your risk of colorectal cancer.

I mainly mention this because I was terrified of starting Humira when I got diagnosed with AS years ago—those black box warnings are legit scary. But I had to weigh the risk of maybe developing a rare side effect versus the guarantee of my spine permanently fusing and my immune system burning everything else to the ground out of spite, and ultimately went for the Humira. And I'm glad I did, because my quality of life has improved massively.

Which is all to say that I hope your sibling's doing okay and found a treatment that works for them. It's scary out here, but there's hope, I promise.

This is why I don’t bother tbh. I have no interest in throwing away money by “throwing the dice” so to say until I find someone who is a good fit. Some friends recommend to a site that aggregates mental health professionals in the area, and almost none of them were actively accepting new clients, except the ones who specialize in things that don’t apply to me.

> Among our fellow mammals, which are less freewheeling because of the twin constraints of lactation and live birth, there are varied connections between gametes and body fat, body size, muscles, metabolism, brain function and much more.

Ah, so we went from overlapping gametes to the relationship of gametes and physical features... so this means mammals are binary in regards to their gametes, right?

> Producing ova or sperm does not tell us everything (or even most things) biologically or socially, about an individual’s childcare capacity, homemaking tendencies, sexual attractions, interest in literature, engineering and math capabilities or tendencies towards gossip, violence, compassion, sense of identity, or love of, and competence for, sports.

Why does it need to? It's only purpose is to draw distinct categories based on sexual reproductive strategies. We see two distinct strategies, therefore two categories.

It seems to me we're arguing whether sex has clear boundaries, and we find exceptions to make these boundaries blurry and therefore change or erase the category. Despite blurry boundaries, the categories still exist (if it's blurry only at the boundaries). To make this short, I think the only way sex would not be binary is if the Y chromosome is completely useless (since it must produce some male features).

> It looks very important, popular and well established, but what is it?

It's easier to explain what Cube is if we first define what the Semantic Layer(SL) is. In a few words, the SL is the abstract representation of business objects, for example: sales, users, conversion rates, etc. Cube provides the language to define the SL, an API to access it, access control mechanisms and a caching layer. It's important to emphasize that Cube is a stand-alone SL, decoupled from any BI visualization tool. That's the "headless" part, and I would also add that is "feetless" since it supports multiple source DBs. Looker the other big name in the space has the incentive of selling you more usage of BigQuery and of locking you in with their UI, it just recently started to open up to the idea of APIs. The idea is that you have a central place where you define the SL and then you don't need to duplicate the definition on every downstream application, which may lead to errors or inconsistencies.

> Is it that it can perform a single query across multiple databases?

Cube allows you to join data from multiple databases at the caching layer, that's fundamentally differently than a federated query engine. But from the downstream application perspective it has the same outcome. By being done at the caching layer it has inherent advantages and limitations vs federated queries.

My ideal position is helping to provide developers and other engineers the resources and tools that they need. I'm passionate about learning cool new things all the time and always looking to expand my horizons. I delight in finding the sweet spot on the value curve and especially enjoy reducing complexity and getting to the root of difficult problems. Even if you don't have a job, and just want to chat, feel free to reach out to me, I always like meeting new and interesting people.
The issue is not the lack of technical expertise. The structure of the German public transport system is very localized, due to its historical growth. local networks are often owned by the municipalities that they are serving, the actual busses are sometimes provided by private companies on contract, the national railway carrier has contracts with state governments and certain local entities for specific services, national, state and local governments are subsidizing various services, etc.

I completely agree that it is a mess, but it is not really easy to solve with so many stakeholders and so many (sometimes conflicting but valid) different priorities at stake.
But they seem not to operate particularly independently from governments, which is kind of the problem.
I recommend using RustDesk for anything remote access related.
