Does the SQLite format support concurrent users? Or would it need better conflict resolution support in the application?

Checking the XML data into text-based version control is a really interesting idea. you could probably do something similar with the SQLite data, using a tool like Dolt.
More likely not enough swap space.

Windows doesn't overcommit and in GPU-accelerated apps these days the driver commits never-used main memory to back GPU memory.

Result is some users will have tabs and apps crash from out of memory even with 16 GiB of main memory if swap is disabled or very small.
My sister is an accountant and she genuinely enjoys working with the numbers. She finds it, not exactly fun, but kind of fun? She describes it like every situation is a puzzle she gets to solve, and then maintain. She also likes working with her customers and enjoys those interactions, like she gets a good feeling from helping her customers out. That's enough for her.

Not the vocation for me but it's very interesting to talk with her about her experiences, because they're so remote from mine...
It prevents natural price discovery, a key function of a healthy market.
My only gripe about element is its too easy to get encryption locked out of rooms if you switch devices and cant access the old one anymore. They need to get rid of that crap. And no im not backing up keys and remembering more passwords. Enough!
You can watch the TV with your friends and family, you cannot do this with a VR headset.
What's the difference between gambling and investing?

Gambling: the expected ROI is negative

Investing: the expected ROI is positive
Does that reasoning work when applied to what you just wrote? If you’re just predicting the next word, then what makes you confident in the conclusion that you’re just predicting your next word?
A lot of people use the name "Lisp" to mean specifically "Common Lisp".
I have two rooms with air conditioning but use them like 3 weeks a year (Jan/February is hot in Cape Town but you can do fine without AC). Also using gas for cooking, and heating is either via gas or wood burning stove. So your power consumption astounds me. I need to maybe just go and measure what my bits and bobs are doing. I'm afraid just my network/home server rack is >58W htough.
Presumably, absent tax advantages of buybacks, more companies would pay dividends and bigger dividends. (At the end of the day a, simplistic, way to look at the innate value of a company's stock is the net present value of its future dividend stream.)
I respect your stance on this. What's your opinion on using BitTorrent to "look at it", while (without intention) leaving the default settings of BitTorrent where it usually also uploads for a bit while downloading, but then remembering to manually stop the torrent seeding sometime "shortly" after downloading when the user gets around to it (1 hour to 1 week).
And what use is that? Here's your key:

Why is that any more valid than any other key that says "Anonymous"? When you "prove" you own it, how would I know there's not MITM happening over the internet?
The P2 is a huge step up from the old propeller. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend it. "smart pins" are able to do all kinds of things, almost like having mini cores along with the main cogs. I used it for a project and was able to achieve all my goals. Really happy with it.
It wasn't even an invite, it was a calendar source (not sure of the exact name) which kept spwning more and more events as you go.

I use TOML and JSON for everything. I like them both quite a bit. TOML gets a lot of criticism for not being JSON and JSON gets a lot of criticism for... not being entirely fit for it's stated purpose. However, they're both fantastic if you use them for what they're good at: TOML for human readable configurations that you expect a user to modify, JSON for representing data that a machine will read all of the time but that you want the user to be able to look at and grasp. I don't think either of them really need to grow to be good at both, they're fine as they are, just pick the right tool for the job.
Between that there is an issue with businesses putting the squeeze on employees because they think AI is ready to replace people even in coding environments. The number of available jobs are shrinking not just because of interest rates, because no one is auditing the natural stupidity of management trying to switch out jobs with AI.
I've seen many "business" journalists complain bitterly about Amazon, Microsoft, etc., making lots of money. I suspect the bitterness comes from them having not bought those stocks early on.
The games mentioned are far too masochistic for me. But at my current skill level, trying for the cosmic ocean in Spelunky 2 feels not only masochistic but hopeless because I will probably never be able to do it. And yet I keep trying. I don't even know why at this point. But I'm not ready to give up on it.
You are fooling yourself if you think the next generation of CPUs won't have ML coprocessors.
That's less of "stupid" and more of "lucky to hit the niche at the right moment".

For every company that hit the niche and made billions over it there is few that were too early, and few that were not lucky enough to get the opportunity that made the winner win.

We find that 80% of users that end up paying, do that after their first week (35% on their first day!). We are trying to make it very clear that this is not a yet another free search engine to manage both expectations and cost.
My opinion is that having a version is fine buy only if a version field is built into the spec.

Without that your config file is a boobytrap, with it everything is fine and your parsing libraries can even be backwards compatible.
It is better for a business to own its own share for the most part, prevent outside decisions from creeping in.
Someone eventually manages to buy a RPi, but you were that lucky one as the RPis are still almost unobtanium almost everywhere. However, a RPi is just the most famous and heavily advertised one among the many Linux capable embedded boards out there, therefore pretty much every project using one can be converted to a similar board from another vendor.

Some alternatives:

Aggregate effective memory bandwidth if you use the CPU cache well. Graph databases are not compute intensive, nor are they particularly large data models, but they are extremely memory I/O intensive. The classic model for graph-oriented HPC was vast numbers of weak cores and barrel processors for this reason, though the utility of specialized hardware architectures has been greatly reduced by better software architecture for this purpose over time.
Is there a similar tool with GUI that would obviate the need to typecheck argument values and make selection an easy toggle from a structured list with help/tooltips right where you need them instead of in an inconvenient separate --help document?
Yea, there are a ton of limits to energy. Use too much in a confined spot and you lose your thermal gradient to do useful work. Use too much too long, and well you've turned your local universe into entropy. Put too much in one spot, you create a black hole.

One interesting thing about the human mind is, early in life it uses a huge portion of our total energy, somewhere around 60% of our total energy flux. Later in life it only uses around 20% of our total energy and it does this by taking a lot of shortcuts and reducing connectivity except to 'where it matters'. Of course this makes it much more difficult for us to learn new things at the same speed as when we were young, but as long as our environment doesn't change too much it allows us to conserve a ton of energy to survive lean times.

It's easy to have answers when you don't have to really solve the problem, when you actually have to go and fix the problem yourself that's when you really face the problem and those answers are hard won. But I admire those who do tackle such problems or at least attempt too. The cost of real problem solving few will actually try to endure. It's messy, not straightforward and often a compromise you never wanted.
Ellison's Cave
pass is fine if you like gpg (why?) and the only machines where you need those passwords are Linux/macOS/*nix computers. There are ways to access it on Windows, Android, and iOS, but they are unbearably painful.
Only if you are both sides of the transmission. If you're sending JSON to code you didn't write you will eventually get bitten by software lossy re-encoding. Lots of places use strings for this reason.

It's like API's that mess up the semantics of PUT/GET so implementing idempotency is extra annoying.
I have perused those archives many times, more important than the book (of which I have a translated hardback copy), are the notes which include the hand written (and commented) assembly for every draft of the compiler. The hard part is that its not the same as the final version so you have to interpolate the changes.
Thanks!

Do Netflix & Prime work on Roku? I also can't find any information about running Tailscale on Roku, beyond putting it on a different network and routing all traffic through a RaspberryPi or something.

Although, Chase was probably a bad example of a bank software to replace. It's actually pretty nice. Bank of America's site is so crap you might have a stronger argument.
> wearing the headset while doing physical tasks on factory floors was the exact use case Microsoft pushed for Hololens 2.

And how'd that work out, commercially?
I do understand, but the fact that tech is a massive employer in Ireland is absolutely relevent.

Also, I'm not sure why you think most tech companies with their HQs in Ireland don't have significant presence here?

For example, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Apple, Facebook, tiktok, linkedin,intel, ibm, oracle, dell even SAP. These are literally off the top of my head from the tech jobs Ive seen on linked in over the last while.

Now think of all the non-tech roles, all the accountants, sales, HR, tax people. There is a locus of skill sets, within a very small area, in an English speaking, European country.

I meant claiming that these tech companies are just brass plate operations just aren't true, they are a huge part of our economy.

Talk to someone from Cork and there is a good chance they know (like a family member) who had worked in Apple or EMC at some point!
I gotta tell you, I would be more worried about giving these things live email credentials than I would be about them spontaneously bricking.
If you enable that setting, your browser can install other apps. The app you're installing can't. There used to be a global toggle, but that's been removed for years. Sure, the app you've installed can prompt for installer permissions, but that's a second prompt you need to go through.

Even with this permission, you still need to manually verify every app you install. Background installation is reserved for apps part of the system image (i.e. Google Play, Samsung Store, Huawei Whatevertheycallit, etc.).

These apps don't just appear, they need to be confirmed every single time. For a dropper to get installed into the system and successfully install another app, you need to confirm four different security prompts. That also assumes Play Protect doesn't immediately get rid of the dropper; antivirus scanning, even for apps not part of the Play Store, has been built into Android system images for this reason.

I completely believe their story, I've seen these ad ridden crapdroids with my own eyes. But every single time they have come with malware preinstalled by some shady AliExpress/Amazon reseller.

I'm sorry you make assumptions on whether or not I know what I'm talking about. Have you ever worked in psychiatric hospital? I have.

What you are referencing is a different type of long term psychiatric facility. The supreme court case is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Connor_v._Donaldson

Blame Reagan all you want - I couldn't care less.
It would come under distribution, because your computer is physically uploading this information to others. So it's being sent in the upstream channel of your Internet connection. And it was an event initiated by the user knowingly browsing such material, it did not happen on the behalf of another, as would be the case if he/she ran an anonymizing proxy service for others to use, e.g. a Tor exit node. So that qualifies as distribution to me.

It depends if the quantity of data uploaded qualifies as an image of illegal abuse. If it contains fragments of the image, that do not represent such acts, then it's not illegal. The user was being negligent or reckless in not disabling the upload facility completely, it's his/her duty to do so in that case, to prevent further harm to the victim from occurring.

And I think that is where we can draw the line and it becomes a crime? And sentencing will take into account the intent? Might not result in jail time if it was just one file?
The TV is precisely the issue – it supports almost nothing. ;)

Besides, I want to be able to switch TVs without having to worry about the TV's built-in software every single time.

Absolutely, but I fear such a solution would lead to a lot of people signing just to be compliant, not beacause they did a thourough job reviewing. If we could connect it to a reputation somehow, it might have something going for it
As much as I think it's annoying I think no trailing commas enforces good coding hygiene and basically forces you to use a real encoder rather than as hoc string manipulations.
Tell HN: Be aware of people trying to scam contractors
In short, I just received a nice proposal to work on a new contract, the potential customer sent me a "document" with the project specs which turned out to be a password-protected compressed file with some pictures and a ".exe" file inside.

I submitted the executable to virustotal which reports this as a trojan (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/088e2dabf218024d30e6899152b6a031dc30ae6f7d516492cb797292d6255d27/detection), seems like this takes screenshots and steals browser data which can be used for other purposes later.

Anyway, be cautious with proposals you receive.
The quality of the story is a matter of opinion, but the linearity of the story is objective fact. Just look at the chart you posted: there is one linear story to follow, with just occasional branches to alternate endings or splits that immediately merge back together.

Most VNs are structured as routes. The reader does not choose how the story will unfold, but rather chooses one of several linear stories to follow. I would classify that as a fundamentally linear story. The fact that the route is chosen by a choice in the middle is not really different from choosing the route from a menu at the start. In fact, most people use guides to get on the desired route.

SubaHibi is even more linear than that, because the playing order of the routes is enforced. Each route is unlocked only after the previous one is completed. There is one "True" ending, which is required to be completed last. The mysteries are only fully resolved by reaching the True ending.

(I don't think the True ending actually adds anything. In fact, all the mysteries were resolved to my satisfaction less than halfway through the story. But that's a matter of opinion once again.)
Very true. A lot of these big systems expend effort on basic stuff (storing, displaying, dating, categorizing, summarizing) that's done just as well by other systems.

Also, your accountant doesn't need every transaction; just the categorized totals are good enough. He/she doesn't mind entering a FEW numbers in by hand.
FireTV stick or box is a good alternative. You can sideload apps like XBMC in addition to native support for streaming services. There are even hacks to replace the launcher.
Essentially. The decision was actually made by the maven central maintainers at the apache source foundation, and Sonatype implemented the decision.
That was what I originally thought, as someone who grew up on static typing and then migrated to Python.

But what I've discovered in practice is that, during those early iterations, I don't really need the compiler to help me predict what will break, because it's already in my head. The more common problem is that static typing results in more breaks than there would be in the code that just uses heterogeneous maps and lists, because I've got to set up special types, constructors, etc. for different states of the data such as "an ID has/has not been assigned yet". So it kind of ends up being the best solution to a problem largely of its own making.

I'm also working from the assumption here that one will go through and clean up code before putting it into production. That could be as simple as replacing dicts with dataclasses and adding type hints, but might also mean migrating modules to cython or Rust when it makes sense to do so. So you should still have good static type checking of code by the time it goes into production.

There are quite few high quality human studies showing phytoestrogens to have negative effects, and quite a few showing positive effects?

Isoflavones (the one most common in soy) has not been shown to affect testosterone levels or fertility, while having lots of positive effects.

The estrogen activity of phytoestrogens is, as a bonus, very low.
Indeed, I only provided direct translations of the programs Ershov and Knuth wrote, I never did much in the way work beyond that, my focus was mainly on recreating the compiler itself.

For that I actually copied the pages of the book into the the comments of the code: https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/compile-pp/src/B...
In the wake of layoffs, how to solve the security issues off-boarding creates
There's two entirely different classes of control out there.

A state database will may be centralized, but it's also much more accountable to established legal norms.

Private systems run on their own internal rules, with less formality, appeal process, and recourse.

A major "control" issue is acceptance. A card network can decide (for example, based on fear of public embarrassment, angry stockholders, or pressure groups) to cut off anyone they don't want. The federal government would be tied up in the courts for decades if they acted equally precariously. So it's actually potentially a more reliable choice for "hot button" products like porn, guns, VPN service, etc.

I'd expect the risk of disclosure will get fairly tightly clamped down. With the current system, there are a lot of middlemen and law enforcement or just snoops can find someone to socially engineer data out of it.

Make it a federal thing, and I'd expect there are a lot stronger legal protections and rules available than just "ooh, if PCI hears about it they might complain". If these rules aren't there on day 1, two weeks after first time the local news busts a Senator for paying callgirls with FedNow, they'll be there.

I will never buy a Samsung device whether a TV or phone or anything else.
Surely that's what small claims is for?
Agreed. They brush aside the years of high performance computing graph implementations, eg, cuStinger. If you look at systems like neo4j's GDS and how other multipurpose systems are going wrt views/projections for accelerated compute, that has been enabling targeting way more performance without dying under complexity. Benchmarking perf without that kind of comparison is weird, I'm surprised reviewers allowed that. (The work may still be good.. just you can't know without that.)

99% success rate in real estate? I've lost money on real estate several times. I avoid it now. Most people seem to think that if they bought a house for $100,000, and sold it for $200,000, they made a $100,000 profit.

Nope.

There's:

1. property tax

2. insurance

3. maintenance

4. upgrades

5. dealing with the lawn

6. 6% commission taken by the real estate agent

7. inflation

8. all the time spent dealing with it

9. mortgage interest

10. the costs from having it sit empty on the market waiting for a buyer

11. and the most neglected cost, the time value of money

I think you're missing my point. Sure, there are better handheld computers! My comment is about the ability for home hardware hackers to churn out something like this (relatively) easily. At least comparing to my experiences 20 years ago trying to produce similar.
