Not sure why that would matter. The team is still there. Everyone moves on at some point in their career.
Given the benefits of cultivating social circles and the risk we see in those who don't have a good social circle as they age, it's probably positive.* The "getting in the way of marriages" may be true, but only in the context of how we've changed our definition of what a marriage should be. One argument is that it's a relatively new phenomenon that we look to our marital partner to be the end-all-be-all of our social circle. There is a modern expectation that our partner is our best friend, confidant, partner in raising children, sexual companion, and everything else under the social sun. I'm not sure that's entirely healthy, especially when a marriage fails.

* side note: I don't think most of the veteran suicide that we see is how we tend to mentally internalize it as a troubled veteran returning from a fresh deployment. The average age is close to 60, meaning these are veterans who have been out for awhile. I suspect the lack of social community, particularly as they age and no longer have the typical social aspects like work to define a social circle, may be part of the issue.

To be fair the Maryland flag is easily one of the best state flags. It fails the "Could you easily draw it from memory" test but the design and color scheme more than makes up for that. I'd put it everywhere too.
You can have data that fits on one machine and still run multiple instances of postgres in a failover configuration, which will probably cover just about everyone (depending on your filesystem, disk for a single instance is essentially infinite, so I'm not actually sure what bottleneck would motivate you need to scale beyond this configuration).

Yes, the RISC-V software ecosystem has made significant progress during the last year. It has also made significant progress since VisionFive2's started shipping January, as it was the first mass-produced cheap RISC-V SBC.

I have experienced that ecosystem acceleration (it is not my first Linux-capable RISC-V hardware). Software got better really fast ever since VF2.

Career Guidance
I am in a confusing place and wonder if this group would provide some light. I have 10 years of experience in tech, ranging from Sales at Dropbox in its Unicorn days to Product Marketing at Apple. I recently left the latter due to a hostile work environment and have found myself in a tough position in finding a new role. My aim is to join (or build) a startup scale it into something incredible, but I am unclear as to how to find the right opportunities or would-be cofounders. My constraint is that I must remain in Los Angeles for family. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Some of the employees were the perpetrators, some were the victims, and some decided putting food on the table was more important than making the moral stand.

Show HN: Summarize Airbnb listing reviews to be useful
As a solo traveler who uses Airbnb a lot, there’re a few things that I care more about when looking for a new place to stay, e.g. the sleep environment. And often times, the listing reviews tell better story than its descriptions. The only problem is that I don’t always have time to go through it (especially listing with more than 30+ reviews). Given GPT is great at summarizing information, why not let it do that for me, hence this chrome extension.

I'm not talking about graphical realism.

I'm talking about shoving fire breathing blocks together with fans in the most recent Zelda game (so that you can build your own flying tank or platform). Its designed for fun and play, not immersion.

If anything, VR's issue is that instead of trying to be fun, they're trying to be immersive. No. You know why Beat Saber is one of the best games on VR? Because its fun.

I don't think the Beat Saber blocks realistically represent anything. The scoring system is pretty arbitrary (wider swings for more points as opposed to timing), etc. etc. But it works and is fun. That's the important bit.

Clearcase's (clearmake's) cloud building capability sounds nice, but I have to pile on to this:

> I'd say set the gold standard for version control and dependency tracking and nothing today comes close to it.

In my 2005-2011 experience with Clearcase, it was slow and required dedicated developers just to manage the versions, and I'm so happy its version control model has been an evolutionary dead-end in the greater developer community. The MVFS is an attractive trap. Giving people the ability to trivially access older versions means you've just outsourced the job of keeping everything working together to some poor SOB. It was very much a "enough rope to hang yourself" kind of design.

As I said, it was slow, because MVFS. The recommended solution from Clearcase/IBM was to break up the source tree into different volumes (or whatever Clearcase's "repo"-analogue was named), which just increased the pain of keeping things in sync.

Additionally, it was an "ask-permission" design for modifying files, where you had to checkout a file before being able to modify it, and you couldn't checkout if someone else had, which added a ton of painful overhead.

I'll grant that my company/group didn't know what they were doing, but following IBM/Clearcase's guidance was not a good idea.

These days, I use Clearcase as a warning to the younger generation.

> Rho and her colleagues focused on Black drivers because this group is stopped by the police at higher rates and are more likely to be handcuffed, searched, and arrested than any other racial group.

Okay, so this doesn't seem like a particularly useful study because they didn't actually include a control group.

> Rho says in planning this study, they had initially set out to look at patterns related to traffic stop escalation for white drivers too, but realized that it happened so infrequently for white drivers that there just weren't sufficient numbers to even include them in the analysis.

Okay, I'm sorry is this for real? The author just completely threw out the control? How is this not malpractice?

So it could very well be that white drivers were issued the same set of commands at the same rate (for all we know). But we will never know because the author intentionally withheld the analysis that would have established the connection between the phrases used and race.

I believe in creating software that delights users while staying easy to understand and extend. Over the past 4+ years, that's been my focus.

Recently, I've mainly been developing the front-ends of our applications. Two React Native mobile apps, two React web apps written in JS, and a small Svelte app. With one of our mobile apps, I had the opportunity to build a mobile app from scratch using Expo and TypeScript. Within just four months, we successfully released it to the public, aiming to provide accessible bridge financing for veterinary care.

However, working at an early-stage startup requires agility: I've also taken on building CI/CD systems using GH Actions, setting up and managing monitoring tools, deployment processes, org security. Tons of stuff.

I love meeting new people and tackling new challenges. If you'd like to connect, feel free to reach out to me here at phil@denhoff.ca. I'm always eager to explore new opportunities and problem-solving ventures.

Honestly, I pretty much always want structure. The reasons I've opted for NoSQL are almost always that cloud providers offer it for practically free while managed SQL databases are wayyyy more expensive. The nice thing about JSON is that it's a lot more ergonomic, but not because of the lack of typing--I would absolutely use a database that let my write reasonable type constraints for JSON columns. (I realize that you're talking about why most people use NoSQL and I'm remarking about why I use NoSQL).

Some other controversial thoughts: SQL itself is a really not-ergonomical query language, and also the lack of any decent Rust-like enum typing is really unfortunate. I know lots of people think that databases aren't for typing, but (1) clearly SQL aspires toward that but gives up half way and (2) that's a shame because they have a lot of potential in that capacity. Also while you can sort of hack together something like sum types / Rust enums, it's a lot of work to do it reasonably well and even then there are gaps.

Some problems with Reddit (like it having a lowest-common-denominator general user base due to its size) are avoidable by going on smaller subreddits.

The real problem with Reddit is that even small subreddits tend towards beginner or introductory content because that reflects the level of understanding of most users.

Having separable, more focused forums can allow for discussions at a much higher level of knowledge and expertise than Reddit. You can see plenty of examples of this today with HN having better content and discussion in its niche than anywhere on Reddit, and plenty of complicated high-skill-ceiling discussion topics like vehicle maintenance or travel hacks still being discussed at high quality on oldschool forums.

I don’t see a benefit for Usenet because it wasn’t obsoleted by Reddit, it was made obsolete by forums. Honestly I just wish those would make a resurgence. They allow for so much more customization than Reddit, Usenet, or Facebook and don’t have centralized policies constantly messing with them. And I really don’t think there is a need for a one-stop-shop site or tech stack for focused discussion. Reddit and FB may have replaced forums in most cases for most people from 2010 to now, but as they’ve become more commercialized with more rules, maybe we can switch back

People generally don't like to dig their own information graves so to speak.

Reducing information asymmetries is not the objective of investment research or finance more generally. The only objective is to profitably intermediate financial activity. It generally helps if the clients are not particularly information technology savvy.

Having said that, the obscurity-by-PDF moat looks like its drying up fast.

wow, that keyboard looks painful.

Really, why would you use a hard wooden wrist rest? what a mess.

I had trouble with my palms years ago, and a soft wrist rest was the solution.

Your palms don't have high pressure points, the weight is spread out. This means the system of strings and pulleys from your muscles in your arms that control your fingers can function well, and long-term.

The skin slides across soft material.

Your wrists are warm.

and of course they are elevated and positioned well.

Yup I completely agree with you. Quest 2 is an awesome game console because of the immersion. I expect AR to be as gimmick as it has been on smartphones (though I'll probably find a game or two that will be fun for few hours), but passthrough is a useful feature. My expectations on Quest 3 is exclusively better performance, to have a wider range of games.

I perfectly agree that the amount and quality games that can be squeezed on Quest 2's GPU is freaking awesome, but still PCs have better games, and I'm not just speaking of graphics. For instance "open world" games like Derail Valley doesn't seem possible when I see performance of Synthriderz on long "experiences". It looks like loading anything that isn't already in RAM is painful (which is weird for a unified memory architecture, but anyway)
I've read the same, almost word-for-word claims repeatedly, which is annoying given how misleading it is.

Concretely...

To know the context of the conditions, the conditions must give the information. Otherwise, the handler would need to know intimately the implementation details to be able to retrieve the filename, line number, etc. If you can provide the information to the condition you call fill a throw exception with the exact same data. The exception can carry the filename, line numbers, token being parsed...

Second, the example itself is ludicrous. The caller of a file parser providing replacement data for a malformed file? In what world does that ever happens? How could it handle every possible ways a file might be malformed?

Third, in every language, the same can be implemented with a callback. In C++, the standard is now to use std::function for this, which supported free functions, members, lambdas... pretty much everything. The only advantage of List is that the declaration and registration of the callback is a language feature.
