Yes, that's mostly true. Arroyo is a stream processor like Flink. In Arroyo, you pre-register the queries you are interested in, and they will be compiled into streaming dataflow jobs that continuously execute as events come in. This means that we're not storing all of the raw events that come in for later querying.

However, like a database we do have a serving layer (currently only in our cloud version due to its reliance on our distributed state backend: https://doc.arroyo.dev/connectors/state) so it is possible to query the results directly from Arroyo as well.

Generally you would want to use something like Arroyo when your data is too high volume to reasonably store it all in a DB like Clickhouse, or your queries are too expensive to perform on every query, as Arroyo incrementally computes the results of the query as events come in.

There's also opportunities to use these systems together: Arroyo can pre-aggregate the high volume raw data, and then it can be inserted into a Clickhouse-based system for final processing along different dimensions.

They did mention motion sickness. They talked about refresh rates and input lags and how it's important so that people don't get sick. Can't recall their exact words but they definitely did.
The best touch typing doesn't look at the keyboard at all, so it has more often felt like a benefit that the keys don't match what I type. (I sometimes feel like I should apologize to grade school teachers that tried to impart that lesson at too young an age to me when teaching QWERTY typing and I'd complain when they tried to block the keyboard from view.)

Having QWERTY key caps is even sometimes still useful for hunt and peck when an app (often a game) uses the wrong system library for keyboard input and is accidentally hard-coded to QWERTY input.

If other people need to use my computer it is very easy to set up profiles that default still to QWERTY or to temporarily shift to QWERTY for their interaction. (The default Windows shortcut key to switch between installed layouts is Left CTRL+SHIFT. It's very easy to switch to/from QWERTY with that quick shortcut.)

While I can feel for the employees, this struck me as odd:

>Complaints on the internal social-media platform included those from workers who said they decided to home-school their children and take care of elderly relatives based on the assumption they could keep working from home.

This seems to imply they are multi-tasking work and home duties and there's enough evidence that multi-tasking doesn't really work well. On the other hand, though, the employees claim their productivity is higher than pre-pandemic, so it's hard to gauge the truth here.

Edit: I don't care about the downvotes but it would be helpful to the discussion if you add why you disagree. Do you think multitasking is feasible? Do you think the employees are not being honest about their productivity levels?
By way of comparison, look at the unreal marketplace or the unity asset store. It's easy to buy art on those sites. But almost nobody on there makes enough money to live off of. At the moment, I can only think of 1-2 creators on there who I think can live off their earnings, and they all live in parts of the world with low costs of living

IMO, the only value in selling assets on those stores is to attract the attention of companies who might want to hire you for real work

It's not viable to have an art company without some way to drive repeat transactions. Subscriptions are the only thing they can come up with that keeps the companies afloat and able to pay people's salaries

But yeah, I sure don't like them as a customer
I have been told this before too.

Currently I can't run my integration tests on my work laptop because they spin up a bunch of "micro" services, so I run out of ram and need to reboot.

> Why is Dell being singled out?

Why not? Someone is going to be singled out. You can't really go after everyone simultaneously.

This reminds me of a story I heard of a guy who was speeding, but going the same speed as everyone else. He got stopped and as the cop was writing the ticket, he said "why are you singling me out, when everyone else was speeding too?"

The cop said "I can't stop everyone. You just drew the short straw this time."

Re: "tax breaks are butts in seats tax breaks"

It kind of reminds me of schools who are afraid of kicking out disruptive students because they are funded based on student count. It's usually better for disruptive students to go to special schools, but the butt-based-funding mucks that up.

I'm always baffled by this argument. So because two people do a bad thing neither can be held accountable because each can just point at the other and dylan604 will say one is being singled out?
It's been working way better than I expected. Good job!
There's likely a connection. Either way, I like to describe AIs like ChatGPT / diffusion models, etc. as operating 100% on intuition. It gives people a better intuition of their weaknesses...

For GPT you can kind of prompt it to do chain-of-thought reasoning, but it doesn't work very well; not if you compare it to what humans do.

Once again it seems like what we thought was hard, is easy; what we thought was easy and computer-like turns out to be hard.
Honestly wouldn't blame anyone who cares about media shown in it's correct aspect ratio, original and accurate subtitling and in correct uncut form as the original director, creative team decided and the actors acted out to say screw it and go back to torrents off a hard drive.

Rights holders have never been trustable in maintaining the best copy of media, and it's even worse now the pipes from the rights holders to us also have a say in what parts of it are shown or if to cut off 20% of the frame to appease people scared of black bars.

The only people who can be trusted are those archiving for passion of the media.
Unfortunately speech recognition is very poor for Bosnian, and that seems to be the case here as well. I am not sure how usable it is for the described use case is, but given that it didn't understand 3/3 of my sentences at all, I wouldn't hold my breath yet.
Lots of incentives offered to businesses, especially at the city level, are contingent on providing some number of jobs in a specific place. They want you to have to give locals jobs if you need to hire, and they want those locals spending money in some particular place. They don't want to spend money helping companies with suburban/exurban workers that never come to the city, and that are seeing local headcount erode as replacements can live anywhere.

> How is this even regulated and controlled?

Same as... most things? There's all kinds of stuff you can lie about and be fine as long as you don't get caught. Claiming you have a full office while openly having a 100% WFH policy is probably not a great way to get away with that kind of fraud, however.
>Ruqqus code (which itself was a failed-reddit clone

Ruqqus was murdered. They decided that it was better to kill the site rather than tolerate those nasty evil Republicans posting there.

Were there a bunch of stormmers and Reichtards posting there too? Yes, there were. But most of the rest of the site's userbase did their best to drown them out with communication. The site's developers decided that wasn't enough.

Any site that claims to be dedicated to freedom of speech but won't allow their userbase to exercise that freedom of speech is worthless. Ruqqus was worthless.
It's cheaper to have a remote employee for sure, unless you've already bought an office tower or committed to a 15 year office lease. Then it's more expensive because you have to support them at home but still maintain the building and pay the taxes on the building.
We're big fans of Nomad! It's what we use for scheduling in our cloud platform, due to its simplicity and scheduling speed. Although we also have great support for Kubernetes as that's what most folks will be running.
"People/companies who make their money through solely holding/selling space are some of the least talented and useful people."

It's easy to generalize about about a job one has never done. Building, maintaining, and renovating property to keep up with tenants' demands takes capital, effort and brains.
I'd bet good money this Vargas dude has investments in commercial real estate.

That's all this push to get workers back to the office is ultimately, a bald-faced attempt by the wealthy powers that be to make everything worse for everyone else, all so they can continue to get richer at an ever increasing pace.

Remote work fundamentally undermines one of the cornerstones of elite wealth, that being the ownership and leasing of commercial properties. The entire industry is essentially a giant exercise in rent extraction by the wealthy, as they're giving essentially free money from the banks (if you're rich enough you get all the money you want for free!) to buy these properties, then lease them to the actually productive businesses that do things like make stuff and provider services, all while cashing fat rent checks while their properties simultaneously appreciate. It's like a giant money printing machine that's only accessible to those who are already wealthy, and remote work throws a giant monkey wrench right into the middle of it.

No wonder all the CEOS and corporate funded think tanks are suddenly up in arms about "Productivity," "Communications" and "Connectedness" as if workers don't come back to the office, their giant commercial real estate money making machine slows, falters and will ultimately fail, and then god forbid the rich folks would actually have to go back to actually doing something productive to make more money.
This is just whataboutism. The online aspect facilitates this shit around the entire fucking planet.

Online abstracts a lot of the "creepiness." You're going to be less inclined to take Polaroids of yourself to hand off to some sweaty mouthbreather hanging out the back of a panel van than you will taking selfies to send to some faceless internet "boyfriend."

Right, and as I was trying to say below, of the egregious ways law-breaking has occurred in SV, crypto strikes me as one of the theoretically least harmful, in kind of a caveat emptor way?

E.g. Google etc. violated intellectual property rights; Uber et al broke "rules of the road" and other liability related issues, real people stuff.

Crypto? Strong argument of "if you don't like it, don't use it?" It absolutely sucks, but you could argue most of the people who got harmed by it were looking for a quick buck, something about "you can't cheat an honest man."

> I'm also not seeing why a company would care for the health of the commercial real estate sector.

insurance companies typically invest the premiums, to hedge against claims. 2 very popular ways of hedging is owning commercial real-estate that brings in monthly income, or investing in commercial REIT that own many, many large buildings, hotels, etc.
You can be eligible for unemployment benefits if you "voluntarily" quit due to a significant change in working conditions, but as far as I know, that's about your only option if your employment was "at-will."

And you have to quit basically right when the change happens, or very soon thereafter. If you try to live with it for 6 months and ultimately decide it's untenable, they're going to say, "Well you lived with it for six months. It obviously wasn't that untenable. So no benefits for you."

I just put together a comparison yesterday of some tools and I found unleash to be more unwieldy than I expected. I wanted to set the result to a specific value for a shared segment and couldn't do it. For some reason the overrides didn't let me use a segment. Was I doing it wrong?

I'd say that's also a huge problem, it doesn't have to be either/or. The thing is, FB or Google don't employ people with guns and can't throw you in prison. The vast majority of people also wouldn't expect the US government to be reading their private messages illegally and without a warrant.

If you're actually an active pedophile then I'm sure you're already well aware of any tactics for accessing illicit content by the time they're showing up in the WSJ. For everyone else, the only way to understand the full depth of the problem and how pervasive it is, is to understand and examine the methods these people are using to connect and distribute that illicit content.
But it’s the distributor, Disney doing the editing. There isn’t somewhere else to look. The discs are out of print and if you bought it digitally it’s been retroactively changed to this new version…
Misguided and uninformed take.
Enough companies of all varieties have changed their work structure that remote is here to stay. For example, my company was planning to move buildings before COVID -- we are still moving -- but taking fewer floors than before. We literally no longer have enough room for everyone to work at the office full time.

There are enough companies out there consistently doing this that remote work is now going to just part of the work culture everywhere. Some of these Farmer's employees are going to quit and find other remote jobs.

It's hard to think while typing so the less time I spend typing the more time I have for thinking. Having said that I'm a qwerty user - it took me a lot of time (may be 100 hours) to learn touch typing and I don't have time to repeat the same with dvorak.

This is frequently a way to soften the impact of inflation. The trick I've been watching my grocery store use the last two years is a product will get a "clearance" tag on it with the price marked down 20 to 30 cents. They let the current stock sell out (or simply not restock the shelf) so it sits empty for a week. Then the same item reappears marked up 50 cents from the previous regular price. Occasionally there'll be different packaging so it appears more like a "new" product. But a few times I was able to compare the old with the new and it's always been the exact same thing.
not really. they expect a certain percentage to be quitting based on this decision, which has better optics than another layoff
Authoritative religious figures stealing baby from a mothers arm and the local shaman sacrificing it on an altar = same as driving a car. Hacker news is a RIOT.

you meant Edge, right?
Academic pursuits was really only something for the wealthy, land-owning class back then. Books were expensive. Public libraries were not common. Public schooling wasn't even widespread and certainly wasn't a path to higher learning. People of academic or political fame from history were usually either people of the clergy (who had nothing better to do during the day) or the wealthy who didn't really have to work. Your average tradesman or farmer had neither the time nor resources to do any research or learning outside of what was required for their job. It's amazing how many resources are available to even the poorest of the poor nowadays. Access to the Internet at a library opens so many opportunities for learning that simply was not available to most years ago. College is still out of reach for many but there are still programs meant to help the people afford college. It's not college was expensive back then but simply being accepted required you to be part of the upper class. Joining the clergy offered better opportunities to the middle class to pursue learning. Being poor meant your descendants were probably going to be poor for a long time.

There was a series of "hackathons" I enjoyed called Startup Weekend. They put much more focus on the business validation by talking to people than they did on the actual hacking portion, but the presentations always had a tech demo component as well. But the overall judging weighed the market validation quite highly. It was an interesting change from the hackathons where you just build a cool tech demo.

There is a big difference between Apple tipping its hand and China printing out a bazillion clones of it before it even hits the market and testing to see if you actually have a market to start with. Apple does not have to test to see if it has a market to start with. People would buy white iTurds on a stick and show unboxing videos if Apple released. You can have a galaxy brain idea but since you don't have millions of fanatical existing customers, it is possible that you can not sell even one unit. So better to test the waters first.
