We heard so much negativity about SQLAlchemy that we decided to make our own lightweight query builder instead. 8 months later, and we're using SQLAlchemy...

The SQL language is wildly complex. It is seriously not trivial to make a fully featured query builder. Forget the actual 'relational mapping' part.
They've also contacted my emergency contacts in an attempt to collect payment for blood tests when they made a mistake writing down my insurance information... that was already sent to them by the doctor ordering the test. The link to the receipt in the text message listed enough details about the blood tests to deduce some very private information.

I have never in my life seen a more flagrant and willful violation of HIPAA. It's the only time I have ever contacted my state AG or the HHS.
I’d have to do some digging, but these observations are largely moot. The “differences in lifestyle” meme is accurate but incredibly imprecise; hunter-gatherer societies are vastly different than say present-day America, so there’s little practical information to glean from studying these differences. Unless, of course, we want to change to those lifestyles wholesale.
Not everything is connected to HN's sychophantically favorite buzzwords.

It's precisely the immigrants who come to a country like Canada, education already completed who pay for the investments for others. An adult Indian programmer costs the Canadian taxpayer nothing but contributes immense amounts, and is even more likely to start a business than a native.

This notion that Bob from Podunk rural Canada with an IQ of 80 competes with an immigrant with a PhD makes no sense. The latter finances the welfare of the former. You need to create wealth first before you can redistribute it and keeping the strongest wealth creators out of the country is one of the stupidest damage you can inflict on yourself.

This sarcasm drenched replacement fantasy is the exact opposite of reality. Only if you have a strong economy you can continue to maintain public welfare.
If we only want to go off of verified sources, of course it's all classified since we can only trust the military to provide us information on this as far as veracity goes. Based on the official, released, declassified videos from the Pentagon, it happened in 2004, 2014, and 2015 AT LEAST.

I totally understand the skepticism and want to reiterate that I am not nor do I want to be a "UFO guy". It is also especially hard to prove, because there are so many outs. One could ask for photos, and then if photos are provided, they're photoshopped/doctored/not high quality enough (which is the case 99.99999999% of the time), and then if they're provided from the government then it's not real because it's a one-off situation e.g. lone wolf, and if there's multiple then it's a psyop/disinformation, and then if they provide a witness or a whistleblower then they're crazy and a nutjob, but if they provide multiple it's just part of the conspiracy, etc etc.
It seems like all the author has written about in the past 10 months (at least that muckrack knows about) is UFOs

This post about "PRQL" got a ton of upvotes when it was posted on HN last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30060784

In general, one of the thing I hate most about SQL is "the order of clauses is wrong" (should really start with the FROM clause and end with SELECT, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21150606), and PRQL fixes that.
The strange thing for me is how much time we spent in the early 2000s discussing website responsiveness and quick loading times as ways to improve user engagement and productivity. Although I can't provide any statistics that I'm intimately familiar with, I recall reading numerous case studies where improvements in responsiveness resulted in significant productivity gains for end users. If I recall correctly, this wasn't just about dial-up connections and multi-second page loads. This belief was still prevalent even when discussing sub-second responsiveness.

Perhaps the direction of the case studies started to shift, and we stopped hearing about it. However, it seems to me more like we pushed hard to reach a certain level of speed in our computer usage, then became complacent, and have been regressing ever since.
Bunches I know are fleeing Mullvad due to their 'no port forwarding" policy now in effect.

ProtonVPN still allows forwarding and is what quite a few fellow pie-rats are now using.

This is unrelated to the product, but I’m on mobile and I can see your website is using a full-height scrollable container instead of allowing the document to scroll naturally. This causes buggy scrolling and prevents default browser behaviour - the address bar doesn’t collapse and tapping the top of the screen doesn’t scroll to the top of the document.
What Graviton really shows is that if the performance is there, open source can be readily available - if you use PostgreSQL or Krita or Audacity or Ffmpeg, you don't need to think much about what the ISA is as long as it supports your OS of choice.

What open source software does is to turn hardware architecture into a commodity.

Itanium and Alpha, it seems, were a bit too early to this party.
Oh the "too many pictures" thing is a favourite of my older relatives. They think it must be "weighing it down" or something and they have to delete pictures to make it go faster.

"July the month I finally install Gentoo!"

Go for it - it really is rather satisfying. Your lap will get rather warm if its a laptop! Stick to the manual and don't get too hung up on minutiae until you have to. I do recommend ~amd64 (the ~ is very significant). Although ~ means something like "beta" you tend to get much more modern software. Make sure you have another route to the internet to find out how to fix breakage because it is inevitable with Gentoo.

I leave the compiler output to fairly verbose and found it hypnotic and very satisfying to watch. I could tell what was being compiled just by the shape of the output.

The wiki and forums are superb.

You might consider running it in a VM at first to get the hang of it and make use of snapshots/checkpoints to back out failed experiments. You could turn that into a stage 4 and recover to bare metal (if you dare!)

It took them 8 months to return the ~$10k of gear they "stole" from me, and they found nothing.

No apology, no explanation of how I was somehow caught up in their data, just "come collect your stuff".

Ironically, they traumatized my kids (I don't think they even did any background checks on me - I don't believe they even knew there were kids in the house before they barged in).

Luckily my kids are resilient and we can sometimes even joke (bitterly) about it.
What a beautiful submission.

Yesterday I was reading about the Trieste in the Wikipedia. I had already seen an image of it years ago, but just yesterday I realized that only the small sphere was the place where the crew was in while the remainder was for navigation.
Dogmatism is more about ideas and ideologies, while partisanship is more about in-groups and out-groups.

Lidar remains secret sauce for autonomous cars (despite what Musk says)
we can predict the forward trajectory of nearly every major solar system object using first principles math and experimental observations and it predicts for years into the future; every time we find another object in the solar system, we add its position and mass and the model gets slightyl more accurate.

"""As of DE421, perturbations from 343 asteroids, representing about 90% of the mass of the main asteroid belt, have been included in the dynamical model"""

Using polynomial interpolation you can get more or less 100meter level accuracy for any major object at any time. If there are remaining large masses that we haven't identified, they must be fairly small, far, and very dark.

(this is one of the most important achievements in human history and represents one of the longest scientific/religious activities; people have been predicting orbital paths for thousands of years.)
> What metaphor are you using that git clone requests are now suddenly death threats?

The headline and title are saying GitHub DDoSed a crucial open source site, so the metaphor is definitely valid. I did not compare DDoS to death threats, I compared the fact that it is being said that GitHub DDoSed the open source site and did a thought experiment to see what happens if something similar was said about the phone companies.

Perhaps it's because Apple is killing a service that apparently nobody uses while Google tends to kill services regardless if people are actively relying on it.

Like you, I have also never heard of this service and I am all in on the Apple ecosystem. Meanwhile, I have recognized every service Google has shut down.

NYC is easily the city most connected by public transit in the US. Manhattan doubly so. In fact, you can find relatively nice, reasonably discounted hotels in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood because it is a relative public transit desert: you have to walk a whole 3 avenues to the nearest subway station!

This set by yaxu (Tidalcycles author) is what convinced me to get into livecoding seriously:

I have to put up with laggy VNC sadly, but not by choice.
They notice there was an update, but they have no clue if that update just decrypted all their messages then reverted itself along with all evidence. If this is just done on select targets, capture and detection is highly unlikely.

A court order on whoever controls the Apple signing keys could do this. I would wager that this is already happening in China since the CCP took control of the signing keys.

If a system is not open, accountable, with distributed reproducible builds each adding their own signature, then you are in fact granting a central party access to execute any code they wish on your device if you accept updates without reverse engineering every single CPU instruction, driver, firmware bundle, and microcode change in every update bundle and sideloading them by hand somehow... which Apple does not permit.
Why are you saying "musician should have gotten a restraining order" like what is the police's job exactly?

> Let's both hope I've got their character wrong and we get to see the truth someday.

How would we ever "get to see the truth someday" on your conspiracy theory, if the truth happens to be that there's not actually an intentional remote code exploit?

That's my point: you've made yourself immune from the facts. You can't ever be proved wrong, by your own criteria of "proof", which posits that Apple always has the ability to avoid detection.
So you got climate science denial, a global media conspiracy, and shadowy political/business interests directing the fate of the world. Very original. I've worked in media. If there ever was a profession incapable of being part of a successful conspiracy with a world-wide coordinated agenda its journalists.

Also: on the one hand you believe in a worldwide conspiracy to suppress "the truth" but on the other hand you argue that climate change (the addressing of which is a threat to entrenched business interests) is not real because if it were, it would have been solved by now? I mean, do you realize how wacky you sound?

VFX artists react had a pretty good video where they're pretty sure the footage over the ocean is just a bird. The oddness is due to the camera optics and the vessel that's recording it traveling extremely fast.
I love open source. Jellyfin looks great, and Embey as well. But Plex "just works". I happily paid for a lifetime and would love to see more development. One of my most used services to watch home videos, listen to audiobooks, and stream my dvd collection.
The best game that exhibits this is Among Us, but not in the way you think.

What you're actually getting at here is a hypothesis that success for a game isn't contingent on circumstances, a variant on the "a truly good game, will sell" hypothesis.

Among Us is a very clear case study to the contrary; it's a clear example that success, even for "truly good games" -- IS contingent on circumstances. Being a good game -- whatever that means -- is necessary, but not sufficient.

Among US was released in 2018 and it was a flop. I know the development team, and before the game released they were ready to call it quits any day.

It wasn't until 2020 that a particular streamer picked it up and that, combined with the pandemic, vaulted it to mega success. If that hadn't happened, it would have been a flop to this day.

This was a multiplayer game, and so if at ANY POINT they had given up the ghost and just shut the servers down -- as they very well could have totally rationally done -- it would have never taken out, and if I were to have shown you Among Us as a game that was good but didn't succeed, I'm sure you'd pick it apart and say, well of course it wouldn't succeed, look how much it sucks.
> Surely you can see how a person struggling to make ends meet might laugh at the short-sightedness of a person willing to spend as much as they earn in years on a deadly weekend excursion?

No. That is hypocrisy. I guarantee 99% of people if they had the same amount of money they would something adveturous. Maybe a balloon trip in the alps, a visit to antarctica, sailing the pacific whatever. And if an accident befell them they wouldn't want people to treat their memory and their loved ones who are survived by them this way.

Honestly, I look at shit like this and I absolutley do not want to help anyone in need in this society at all except maybe children. The people who are not scammers pretending to need help are hateful and bitter. Well good luck, you earned your position life by hating on others simply because they are not helping you because they can.

Don't get me wrong, I get the sentiment that if it was I, I would give a lot more and help people but the idea that simply because you have lawfully earned money you owe people shit? How ridiculous! That is theft! These people want to steal money that isn't theirs simply because they are many and that person is one and they can take that money that does not belong to them. And why exactly should a bunch of theif-at-hearts be helped?

I don't hear any starving third world kids demand americans "struggling" with obesity owe them food. Even post-colonial countries at most demand debt forgiveness not an outright transfer of wealth.

My final project in a 1989 Electronics class was a MIDI interface for the IMSAI 8080 PC. I had various instruments mapped to each of the red/blue switches. Now thinking back about it, I wonder how the heck I got any information on MIDI specs without the Internet.
I've heard from some very well known and credible sources that there is a nice china teapot orbiting somewhere between the asteroid belt and mars. maybe the UFOs are investigating it's provenance.
Well, there is a step beyond framework hell that can work, which is "living inside your own black box"[0]. This strategy intentionally supersedes the lower-level abstraction layers with a higher-level, application-focused one that eases rewriting the underlying stack "sometime down the road". It's nearly the only way you can get that.

But it does require a good understanding of what the application is and does, and a lot of software isn't that: it's just more stuff that has a behavior when you click around and press keys.

The congestion downtown is outrageous. The honking from cars sitting in stopped traffic is noise pollution to a degree most people will never experience. Broome street from 3pm until 7pm is a nightmare. Endless honking and road rage. It’s a detriment to the neighborhood and the traffic cops are constantly getting verbally berated for traffic that is not their fault they’re just trying to keep the cross streets open.

I would love to see this price increased further + actual fines levied for mindless honking in stopped traffic.

That hunter-gatherer tend to have very low rates of obesity and metabolic disorders is well documeted, for example https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/obr.12785 .

It's also well documented that obesity rates have skyrocketed in recent decades (for example https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-adults-defined-a... ).

From this evidence, we can conclude that obesity isn't a purely natural phenomenon, it's cause by modern lifestyles. But what part of said lifestyles?

We need to look for a culprit(s) that:

a) hunter-gathers are insulated from, and

b) has greatly increased in just the past few decades, following the trend in rising obesity rates.

As you note, there seems to be big change in energy expenditure between hunter-gatherers and us, so that can be ruled out. That would seem to leave us diet changes and environmental contaminants.

Sugar is commonly cited as a cause of obesity, but recent increases in obesity rates have been much higher than those in sugar consumption (https://onlinestatbook.com/2/case_studies/sugar.html ). Also, there are hunter-gatherers who eat lots of honey (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjourn...) and they are not obese.

So what could it be? I don't claim to know the answer, but there are two possibilities that seem plausible to me, that satisfy conditions (a) and (b) above:

- Environmental contaminants: http://achemicalhunger.com/

- Vegetable oils: https://www.jeffnobbs.com/posts/what-causes-chronic-disease

One click deploy scripts are available for digital ocean, AWS, GCP, Azure etc.
This OG Dropbox comment was too snarky, for a genuine use case, the solutions in those comments were actually complicated than using Dropbox, while spinning up your own VPN is actually safer and better wrt streaming services etc, not easy but serves the purpose in a safer and better way.
Absolutely hideous structures. Not the sort of the place the vast majority of the human race would want to live.
I never said we have to take an extremist position wrt ads. If we can allow 1% ads for tech shows, and confine the remainder of 99% ads to special places like Yellow Pages and tech shows, that's a huge win.
Comparing "God-of-the-gaps" to the UAP/UFO Phenomenon only makes sense if there is abundant, first-hand evidence for God that goes back several generations at least, is seen in numerous, opposing human-cultures and only can be ignored by debunking paradigms that vacillate wildly between a smug misunderstanding of pop-epistemology and the deeply, irrationally conspiratorial.

Actually, now that you mention it . . .

I've been out for a couple of years, but...

> I'm honestly not sure what sapling is

My rough understanding: arcanist + git evolved into arcanist + hg, hg became a frontend to cHg and then the whole edenfs/sapling stuff started to replace that to optimize sparse checkout workflows.

> - Buck should've been killed and replaced by Bazel. I can't speak to Buck2 but this seems like a pointless investment;

Bazel's open-source version remained significantly less capable than Buck for a long time; Buck migrated towards Skylark just like Blaze, and cleaned things up greatly.

> - Thrift should be killed and replaced with gRPC/Protobuf. Same deal;

In general, agree with the former, but that's because protobufs and especially flatbuffers were already used in many places for many many years.

> FB's code search is just grep

There was also a less popular semantic search that people didn't use nearly as much.

> There's no dependency declaration at all

Strictly speaking this is not true, it was just not usually needed.

> There is no way to say "if this file is modified, run this test".

You needed to update the target determinator, but I do think this was possible.
Yeah, soooo simple. I've spent the entire day trying to figure out how to run Algo and OpenVPN on DigitalOcean. With zero luck

Some of just don't like screwing with servers and are willing to pay a premium for that. I absolutly loathe managing servers.
Semantic web was supposed to help long ago, and may finally be doing so. In www. genenetwork.org we are now using RDF SPARCL and GraphQL and Xapian for speedy and flexible search that can represent much of our complex metadata. Surprising how long this has taken to catch on.
> If you have a surplus of workers and a deficit of housing, it would seem like a chance to re-skill the workforce into construction, wouldn't it? Instead of the blue-collar workers learning to code, maybe the tech workers can learn to weld? Or am I being ridiculous?

I don't think that the lack of construction workers is the main reason for current crazy property prices in the western world.

There's no way that could be Watergate-squared. The defining characteristic of Watergate was the audio tapes, so this has to be a reference to the "Bring some Cokes in, please" recording.
