Your website is great and I regularly check it to see what's new in various implementations. Unfortunately it seems that many databases don't support many modern SQL features yet. Any ideas as to why?
> And without fail, people will howl ITS NOT OPEN SOURCE.

Right, they mean that, as a user, you are not free to use the software for any purpose, nor are you free to change it in any way. Whether open source is morally/ethically better is separate from its definition.

It's fine for you to say you only want to support non-commercial use, but if you call it "Open Source" it dilutes the definition.
> Moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse and back, is … a large cause of RSI

Citation needed.

When I had RSI the doctor noted that it was only in my non-mouse left hand. They said the moving of my hand between mouse and keyboard provided a relief for my hand, and recommended I move my non-mouse hand away from the keyboard more often.
These are mere personal preferences. Any connection to a broader agenda is a conspiracy theory.
probably so, but surely the most widely used early garbage collector was in line-based BASIC.

It's apparently not particularly hard. There's oodles of vendors selling sub-$10 straps that have a very tight fit, in my view. I've got an actual Apple band that is 'loose' in comparison (very small amount of side-to-side motion).

Ask HN: What dev utilities do you use daily?
I am developing the most engineer friendly utility toolkit that there is online.

https://ray.run/tools

Highlights:

* no data is sent to server

* easy to switch tools using cmd+k (or ctrl+k)

* no ads

* preferences persisted in URL query parameters

I even listed which packages I've used to build each utility so you could do it locally if you need to.

What tools have I missed?

How would you like to see this improved further?

This is a very early version. So please be accepting of rough edges. Let me know what you find and I will fix it.
One may complain about the prices for specific SaaS offerings, but mentioning Lightsail as a alterantive to a completely managed offer is not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
A big problem (IMHO) with graph databases is building "the" graph model, and the fact that it's easy to be faced with problems that don't suit a graph database. Something as simple as returning the distinct set of values for an attribute and count of vertices containing each value require going outside the graph model, so aren't composable very well in a property graph system. (There are other graphs besides property graphs, they will have their time someday.)

What you really want is to apply graph processing to data as it is. The SQL 2023 additions are a step in the right direction. I need to find a good detailed description of the constraints and semantics to assess how good it is.

Sorry Comrade, I didn't know that the authoritarian left had taken over. You will be re-assigned to work in Ohio as a bread maker tomorrow. Please say goodbye to your family and pack your bags. The worker train will be waiting at the station at 2PM tomorrow. Good luck! Long live the great leader and the workers revolution!

Edit: It has been brought to my attention that the workers revolution has not occurred and we are ruled by capitalist dogs. Please disregard the above. Also, there is no train station because it was bulldozed to make way for the expansion of highway 19257.

Edit 2: Apparently bread was banned in Ohio because someone put a rainbow flag on it. Please disregard bread. Go woke go broke.

Edit 3: Please do not shoot the rainbow bread without making sure that the Bug Light beers you are using for a backstop is not in front of a preschool. I repeat, please stop shooting schools.

"Dropped" in the context of software means that something has been abandoned or removed; "dropped" in the context of music or fashion means that something has been released or published. This twitter post says that "Photoshop dropped the new 'Generative Fill' feature", using the word in its music/fashion sense to mean that Photoshop has gained a new feature; were Adobe to remove (or "drop") that feature someday, one could post the same announcement again verbatim, making use of the word's opposite meaning.

Who's Hiring: No salary wastes everyone's time
Roles which do not list a salary (or reasonable salary range) will have worse signal-to-noise applications the more senior the roles.

Missed opportunity: company and candidate may never meet because candidate assumes low salary.

Wasted company and candidate time: candidate is enthusiastic and goes through some effort/process before discovering the salary is too low.

The days of hiding salary numbers need to end. Imagine shopping at some stores where the cost of items were not displayed until checkout. Shoppers would favor the stores which listed prices up front; they would only visit the hidden-price stores for unique or specialty items which were not available at stores which listed prices.

If a company cannot compete on salary, and they know it, they should explain why they are still worth considering. And if they have no value to offer to make up for the comparatively low salary, then they should make clear that they accept more junior developers (or are willing to train).
Expressing our thoughts through writing can go beyond a mere brain dump. Journaling and reflective writing have been found to offer opportunities for self-discovery and generating insights. Research in psychology supports the idea that writing can have therapeutic benefits and contribute to personal growth. Studies by Pennebaker and Beall (1986) and Smyth (1998) have shown that expressive writing can improve physical and psychological health, while Baikie and Wilhelm (2005) found that it enhances self-awareness and promotes personal understanding. By exploring our own writings and analyzing patterns, emotions, and themes, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our experiences. Writing can be a valuable tool for introspection and self-reflection, leading to psychological insights and personal development.

What are some horizon-expanding weekend undertakings?
There are some books that you can read, some projects you can do in a weekend or two that expands your horizon. Like:

1. Raytracing in One Weekend (https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html)

2. Think OCaml (https://greenteapress.com/thinkocaml/)

3. Let's make a Teeny Tiny compiler (https://austinhenley.com/blog/teenytinycompiler1.html)

What are some more?
Yeah...what about retirement accounts? If you're not putting money away into retirement, you're either bad at managing money or just scraping by.
> Perhaps we should just make monitors in 4:3 like we used to instead of 16:9 which is ridiculous since we don't typically watch movies in the office.

That's on the right track, but going too far. 16:10 or 3:2 is much more reasonable.

The idea of using 16:9 screens for work needs to die in a fire.
Okay, these loans that are backed with real world assets are just traditional finance right? We were discussing loans that are granted automatically to anyone without requiring an approval, remember:

I wish they would focus more on software rather than making us all wait for their super expensive hardware. And yeah I know it's a whole PC you're buying. But I don't really buy expensive PCs in a form factor that has yet to prove its usability.
I'm certain there are still endless amounts of little lifestyle businesses out there doing a few million in revenue on the same WP installation they've been configuring since 2011. I know because I built them back then and literally nothing has actually changed. I honestly can't say I'd reccomend anything else to someone intent on self hosting even today.
Today I had ChatGPT 4 (Not GPT 4) correct itself mid-response. I was asking it something very simple about regexes:

> How about matching 'a' as the second character of a string only?

It responsed with the wrong regex plus a bunch of explanatory junk:

> '^a.'

Then halfway through the explanatory junk, it corrected itself like this:

> Apologies for the confusion in the first response, the correct regular expression should be '^.a' for matching 'a' as the second character of a string:

And kept on with the (now correct) explanatory junk.

All in a single response. I've certainly never seen that before (if someone has, please weigh in). Maybe the model hasn't changed, but the pipeline has? Like... there's a second model trying to correct the mistakes of the first, maybe? (timings are probably wrong for that, but something like that)

I've played this game before. It's great if you never change what you're doing. If you get a new project that requires a new IDE or VM solution you spend hours setting things up again. The mouse is more flexible and better suited to getting work done.

Between actually getting work done and looking for a way to provide an answer, I've had a hard time getting a link to send.

The closest I've come is a scoring method called 10 Point System where it's slight different in W=6 points, D=3 points, bonus point per goal (max 3), bonus point for shut out. So I could have mis-remembered the points I initially stated. It's been 10+ years since I've participated in those tourneys.

The world is a much bigger place than central Europe and people do things differently in those other places. Not everyone plays with the exact rules like those house rules in Monopoly. In UIL soccer (governing body for Texas High School sports), the rules get totally goofy. First, the center referee has to make hand signals similar to American Football refs by winding the clock to indicate to the clock operator to start the clock, crossing the arms above their head to indicate to STOP the clock (WTF!!), free substitution so a player can be brought back onto the field after being subbed off, players must be subbed when issued a yellow card and allowed to come back on at a later time (thought to allow teenagers to cool down before escalating hormones get the better of them), indirect free kicks awarded to team in possession in lieu of drop ball restarts. Those are the main ones that I remember. Oh, and in UIL, there is a referee system called Duals where you have 2 officials on the field and both have whistles. They each run a diagonal system in their respective half. This is used when not enough officials are available to do the traditional center + 2 assistants
> I’m assuming “perfect” is something completely unnoticeable like lightweight glasses or contacts BTW, and I think there is a bunch of good stuff before perfect

If that's the case, and if your perception of your real environment is in no way hindered, then I agree -- monitors wouldn't have an advantage.

Short of that, though, I would strongly prefer monitors over VR.

> you can call up arbitrary number of windows anywhere in your visual field?

This is not something I personally would want to do. I want my computer/user interface to be constrained to a specific part of my visual field. Even if it's all in VR, that's how I would use it anyway.
Oh, you're going way farther in optimizing the schedule, than I know how to collect data to do. If I could collect detailed info about how each oncall rotation members feels about every single shift, I could use a model like what you describe. I remember these models from school... But that was a long time ago. I'd have a lot of reading to do.

What I built now, is pretty simple, but I think it solves the problem pretty elegantly:
* Each user has a set of credits. You get credits when you get a shift assigned. You pay credits to other people who are assigned shifts.
* You can self-assign shifts (which makes you earn credits).
* You can bid credits to avoid getting scheduled for certain dates/holidays(e.g. Memorial Day)/importantEvents(e.g. Super Bowl Sunday).
* Shifts which nobody has self-assigned are auto-allocated up to a given time horizon in the future. The auto-allocation of the next shift, assigns it to the person with the lowest value of "currentCredits + bidsToAvoidThisShift * rotationMemberCount / 2".
- The exact algorithm isn't that important. But what it does is: it gives a shift to the person with the least credits (and they'll then get a bunch of credits), but it avoids giving shifts to people who have bid to avoid that specific shift.

The real value is that there is an algorithm doing the assigning. That makes this feel FAIR to all involved. If you didn't bid to avoid working on Christmas, don't complain about working then. But you'll also get more credits to work on Christmas, because you get everything that others bid to avoid working on Christmas (which means you will work fewer shifts in total over the year).
I think your job as a journalist should be to interview experts, not be one.

In Linebarger's book Psychological Warfare, he points out that asking propaganda men (in his defense, they probably were almost all men ca. 1947, and I suspect he may even have referred to specific men, eg Edward Bernays) about their work is highly unlikely to result in an unspun answer.

(then again, consider Epimenides: Linebarger is also a propaganda man)
Yes I wrote all the first images. I love Lisp and think it is amazing if you approach it in the right way.

Now the company is growing at a rate that I need to hire people and build teams.

That is where Lisp is a hard bargain. The bucket of people who can write a new system from scratch without falling for the common traps is really small.

So that is why we are slowly transitioning away.
browsing any major, big subreddit will reveal that it’s users are no better than the average facebook, twitter, or tiktok user. have you looked at /r/all or /r/popular in the past… 3-4 years? it’s all garbage. i think the reality is that an extremely small percentage of people bother setting up a real home page, unsubbing from all the default subreddits, and having a tailored experience more akin to forums is just not what people want anymore- they want a black box “algorithm” to push rage bait and ads at them.
I don't think they necessarily turn OFF said machines, but most computers for the past half decade will do lower power modes with a lot of efficiency. Most of the mini computers I've seen based on laptop skus (similar for servers, just many more cores) will run around 8-12W in idle state, but 10x or more that under load. I would asume many servers will be at least similar, with a higher top end.

HL:A showed what a AAA FPS is in VR.

I wouldn't call it a killer app simply because these days, FPS is all about multiplayer, and a FPS multiplayer in VR is just...meh? It doesn't really work.

Really, any sort of action-packed combat is just not going to work in VR. Jumping behind cover works fine outside VR because the medium acknowledges the limitation. But in VR, trying to jump behind cover doesn't work when you have to worry about being next to the edge of your play space. VR tries to immerse you, but that immersion is limited when you can't touch your surroundings. Being crouched behind cover and peeking over it to shoot feels unnatural and immersion-breaking when you can't lean against the wall you're hiding behind.

Even as a VR supporter and owner of a Valve Index (And the HTC Vive before that), I don't know what the killer app for VR would be. To be honest, I'm not sure I'd even EXPECT there to be a true single "killer app" for VR, but rather, a collection of apps that work incredibly well in VR, or don't work without VR. Beat Saber comes up a lot, and it's fun, but I wouldn't call it the "killer app". It's just an example of something that only works in VR.

Not a ton, I suspect. On macOS there'd be app signing/notarizing issues and you'd probably have to disable gate keeper or knock another hole in the walled garden.

The real "trick" is keeping the app inexpensive and the purchase low friction. If I raised prices there'd be more pressure to pirate. People who need my app are solving a "terrible problem" (printing labels). They aren't the kind of customer that would seek out a pirated copy or try to pirate it.

For example, for a period of time the app's licensing could be bypassed by starting another 14 day free trial using a different email address. After watching these "clones" keep re-registering every two weeks (for maybe 20 weeks!), I finally updated the licensing to be slightly more restrictive: you can register again but the 2nd free trial on any particular computer is limited to 4 hours, the 3rd registration doesn't show a free trial.

Guess what happened? ~50 new customers over two weeks, all from a particular geography. It was wild. But I've had no complaints.

Long story short: People will pay to solve the soul-crushing task of label printing. I joke that I write the colonoscopy of the software world. It can be a dirty job.

In my view, whether or not you're actually faster isn't nearly as important as whether or not you feel faster.

Feeling faster means closer to a flow state, and so more productive. Actually faster does not automatically translate to increased productivity.
