>> Yep, this is typical of Westerners. We know you Russians are dumb and don't appreciate our "great democracy". Yeah, we had a taste of it in the 1990s. USA came and destroyed the country, economy, jobs, the future. CIA "advisors" with their "shock therapy" destroyed economy overnight, put dumb drunkard Yeltsin in power, and stole everything valuable they could get a hold of.

>> People here were dying of hunger, but West was extremely happy with the "democracy" they built here.

Please spare me of this pathetic loser mentality that blames all of your failures on someone else. The CIA did not force upon you Stalin and the murder of millions home and abroad, nor did the CIA choose you Brezhnev and stagnation in all walks of life, nor did the CIA lock up in psychiatric hospitals the people trying to change the system.

It was your own making that by the end of 1980s, the costly war in Afghanistan, industrial accidents like Chernobyl, and stagnation along with hopeless attempts to reboot the rotting economy pushed USSR on the verge of starvation. As to the west, have you forgotten grain ships that provided much needed food aid that prevented the worst?

Beyond that, nobody in the west really cares or ever cared what went on in Russia. Russian obsession with the US and the vast conspiracy theories are merely a manifestation of your inferiority complex. You may think of yourself as the Third Rome and a superpower, but the size of your economy does not support the delusion; you're just a bunch of losers who inherited nukes.

The rest of your comment is a bitter vatnik blab that doesn't deserve a reply. You may blame the CIA, Ukrainian-Jewish cryptonazis, etc all you want, but unless you get rid of this loser mentality and blame game, face your past crimes like Germans have and seek reconciliation with your victims, develop a free society that respects human rights, establish mutually beneficial relations with neighbors, and start participating in the global economy in a constructive manner like the rest, you'll never live even remotely as well as people in the west do. That's a cold hard fact that you can not bypass with rhetorics, propaganda, misdirections and lies.

Cynicism of Russian population - of which you are a perfect specimen - is perhaps the biggest obstacle to development in Russia. It leads to grassroot-level inability to take responsibility and cooperate in things like HOAs, and poisons the whole society as it leaks upstream to local governments, federal government, business culture, etc. Once you've poisoned everything and have a failed state on your hands, you blame the CIA.

If you dropped cynicism, stopped mocking """""democracy""""", took responsibility and actually tried to work with each other in the name of common good, perhaps you wouldn't be such a shithole and would see the same fast development as everyone else who have taken this path have since 1991? Perhaps there would not be a need for daily terror attacks against Ukrainian cities to salvage the image of your god-emperor in that world?
> My days/months have been flying by and I thought I was just because I'm getting older.

The theory behind this is that your brain "compresses" memories. Identical days are just stored as "and here I spent 5 days working". And if your weekends are mostly similar, then it's just "And then I spent 12 weeks doing routine shit".

For kids time seems to move slower because everything they experience is new and can't be "compressed".

As an adult you can emulate this by doing things you haven't done before, getting new experiences.
YouTube refusing to host a video doesn't stop someone putting their content in Vimeo or PeerTube. His right to free expression hasn't been impacted; only his ability to post on YouTube, which is a privilege and not a right.

Also who are these people who have complicated sysv scripts? I've heard this for years and never really understood it. One script per service with a stop and start command (and maybe a status if you want to get fancy) and runlevel definitions that start and stop them. It's not rocket surgery, and it's a hell or a lot easier to debug than a declarative system definition.

> New vehicle will burn fairly completely (if you include the cat as part of the process), leaving a miniscule amount of hydrocarbons (incompletely burned fuel) and a small amount of CO

So will old ones, if you run them on the right fuel.

My 25-year-old Range Rover has a 4.6 litre engine adapted to run on propane which is - under the right circumstances - a *negative* emission vehicle. It can have measurably less CO and HC in the exhaust than in the intake air (city air heavily contaminated with CO and HC for example from bus engines).

It being an organic compound doesn't mean it's safe or something we should ignore. Asbestos is an organic compound with wildly useful properties.

> Additionally, I think there's too much of an aversion to burning it.

At home, its a terrible idea - it's super duper toxic a d leave a horrific nasty waste to dispose of. In a commercial setting maybe, but I'm not convinced it's going to be handled correctly without serious regulation.

> And all that said, I'd bet money I dispose of significantly less plastic than the average European. First is water bottles. I don't do water bottles. I use those 5 gallon jugs and a hand pump dispenser on amazon, it works like a super soaker or a garden sprayer. That alone has me ahead of most Americans.

Eh, are you comparing to Europeans or Americans? I don't have stats handy but tap water is potable and suitable for a large number of uses. No need for any plastic.

> Avoiding single use plastic in your household is not really all that hard, things you can't avoid like linings in cans and what not aren't the problem, grocery bags and water bottles are the big ones, and you can do other things like never buy teflon, which I also do.

You can't just decide the plastics that you use aren't the problem. Avoiding single use plastics might not be hard for you, I live within shopping distance of 3 supermarkets all of whom package most of their fruit and veg in single use plastics. That's my number one source of plastics, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Cisplatin may cost $6 a dose to buy, I bet it sells for much more at the US hospital to the Insurance company or god forbid the patient.
N-gate summed it up very well: "if a guy in Cupertino can put a U2 album on your phone, he can just as easily put CSAM on it".

If you are using a device managed by Apple/Google/Microsoft, E2E is merely a roadbump - it means that your device owner needs to push a backdoored update to it, rather than simply reading your data server-side at their leisure.

Which is still valuable, to be clear: it's a pretty large roadbump. Either you're such an important target that they're shipping a specific update to you alone (in which case, frankly, you didn't stand a chance), or they risk exposure.

But if you install a little snitch that reads your messages and reports you if they match some complicated, necessarily hashed pattern, then that roadbump is mostly gone. All the guy in Cupertino now needs to do is update the patterns to match what they want them to match, without anyone noticing.

> there are tools that don't require manual memory management or being pedantic about the different types of strings. You could just use Go, Java, Haskell, Python, etc.

1. Rust doesn't force you to do manual memory management. Rust memory management is automatic by default and only if you really, really want to, you can do it manually.

2. Memory is not the only resource. The GCs in languages you listed only solve the memory management problem, but regarding the other types of resources, their ergonomics are often worse than C - you have to remember to close the resources manually and you get virtually no help from the compiler.

3. None of the listed languages address problems related to concurrency, e.g. data races. Ok, Haskell kinda avoids the problem by imposing other restrictions - by not allowing mutation / side effects ;)

4. Rust offers way better tools for building high level abstractions than Go, Python and Java. It has set a very high bar with algebraic data types, pattern matching, traits/generics and macros.
It basically doesn't.

Even without the oil - 2-stroke engines will run on straight petrol, albeit briefly - they still emit an obscene amount of unburnt fuel.
Yes, services should be sustainable. That isn't the same thing as enabling them to extract as much money as possible in a short period of time before selling out, which is often the target these days.

Develop a long-term plan that builds a stable business, and keeps both the proprietor and customers happy, and I'm happy to support them.
How would you design a protocol immune from all the politics? Whatever the implementation, it's just a part of a larger complex system. This is a very hard issue, and trusting Meta or the likes is naive and dangerous with destructive consequences.

I think the parent is referring to the fact that LLMs and generative models are, for the time being, “creating new markets” and “creating new problems”, but not really solving any of the hard problems we already have. I see it this way: you have this incredible piece of technology. You can use it to take the scraps away from a bunch of starving artists, and convert that survival income in wealth for some entrepreneur. Or you can use it to cure cancer or aging or make fossil-free airplanes. At the moment, the first application seems to be the one moving the market, and that’s really sad.

On the side of hope, if somebody were to demonstrate how to use a bunch of GPUs to make the e-coli bacteria live for a little longer using an approach that has a semblance of generality, I guarantee that a lot of old people would be willing to part with their fortunes in exchange for a sliver of hope for them or future generations.
Or what about having a repository proving these very concepts with almost 2000 commits?

In my experience things like publications, online code repositories, and facts are more than irrelevant but not much more because people don’t know how to independently evaluate these things. Worse, attempting to evaluate such only exposes the insecurity of people not qualified to be there in the first place.

Far more important are numbers of NPM downloads and GitHub stars. Popularity is an external validation any idiot can understand. But popularity is also something that you can bullshit, so just play it safe treat everyone as a junior developer and leet code them out of consideration.
Commerce is a long throw when people are talking about banning the creation and use of a technology.

I liked that Estonia said "f*ck it, English is now the official second language."

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, Zürich is contemplating making school children study English before French/Italian. That's great, except Switzerland is already quad-lingual, depending on canton. Making it more difficult for a german-speaking person in Zürich to go to Geneva probably won't be great for unity. Instead of all cantons adopting one of the existing four as the universal language, they are now trying for English, it seems.

(As an immigrant observer.)
Thanks for taking the time to stand up to this kind of arguing. As a non-native speaker, I definitely dont have the stamina to enter a real discussion with this type of person.
You file a ticket with the database team so they can add your fixed query to the service API. After a few rounds of exchanging messages and meetings it might be added.

If it's a third-party API (say, a weather forecast or market data) the answers will range from "no" to "yes, and it will cost you X".
4. Walking.

A bit less minimalistic: ride your (non e-) bike, scooter, skateboard, kayak, sled, basically anything non motorized. Use best tire quality so you don’t change then often.

A bite more minimalistic: prefer walking barefoot anytime you can. Shoes are tire that wear out.

King of related: still looking for shoe/soles that last. My grand mother used to wear wood clogs, not sure where to find some that fits me.
One of the only places I've found ORMs to function well is on mobile where, usually, neither the schemas nor queries are that complex.

In any other setting they have just been a limiting abstraction layer.

> we want services to be sustainable - i.e. the cost of the service to be paid for by its users

All of this applies equally to businesses that were sustainable (or on a path to sustainability). The amount of money a business can responsibly spend on loss leaders like a free tier is dependent on growth rate and cost of capital.

Now that cost of capital has gone up and growth has gone down, the amount you can reasonably spend on loss leaders is comparatively tiny.

This does not mean we should expect fundamental changes in most business models going forward. Most startups did not take the Vision Fund approach to their business model that so fundamentally warped a few markets (Uber, WeWork, etc.)
I thought emergency reset is supposed to protect you from abusive people but I skimmed the support article and it seems like emergency reset does not remove management profiles: https://support.apple.com/en-asia/guide/personal-safety/ips2...

I guess it’s hard to balance, because a company probably doesn’t want their employees uninstalling MDM profiles.
The abstract concept of ORM is fine, unfortunately the particular ORMs we use suffer from pretending all objects and their relationships exist in RAM, there's a single instance of every entity and it's always up to date. An abstraction that isn't merely wrong, but falls apart in your face at every opportunity.

This problem is not unique to mapping objects to SQL databases, but mapping objects to anything remote at all, say a GraphQL or a REST API.

OOP as we presently interpret it is an inherently synchronous, reference (or handle, rather) based paradigm, that only works when all your state is local and in RAM.

This is why distributed object protocols keep failing. They'll keep failing until OOP programming reorients to use values for messages and makes references explicit, so their impact is seen and felt (and it's especially seen and felt when you reference an entity on another machine halfway around the world, in terms of lag, fragility, eventual consistency and everything).

We see hints of this with value types in Swift and .NET, unfortunately I'd say rather rudimentary so far. But it's coming. The ideal example of such a set up is Erlang. A language that Joe Armstrong has called "probably the only OOP language in the world". A statement Alan Kay agrees with (source: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Alan-Kay-think-about-Joe-Arm... ).

These genuinely look better than modern counterparts, along with Windows 98 / Windows 2000. It's just more visually pleasing and friendlier UX. I see most comments there mention the same things.

Are we just a bunch of old farts, or is that true for younger folks as well?
Because wlroots and most Wayland implementations strictly use the kernel abstractions for buffer management, nothing else. They run on literally anything that supports linux’s abstractions, but nvidia drivers did not (it changed recently, not sure about its current state).

Also, xserver used to work with nvidia cards due to goddamn proprietary binary patching done by drivers.
Given the content of that timeline, I'd be inclined to take any claims like that with a large dose of salt.

This is ludicrous.

It's the most densely populated county outside of New York.

There are problems in American Urbanism. Single family zoning is a big one. But it's overly reductionist to put it down to single family zoning. The fact is SF has a whole heap of factors driving demand. If you think that it will become more affordable you're wrong. What we will see is the cheapest possible highest profitability developments. Apartments and neighbourhoods for adults with no children and the super wealthy.

There will be no medium density because there is no one group for whom it is maximum amenity. The wealthy don't care because they can just by nice luxury apartments in the brave new world. Individuals/Families with adults and no children and property developers are fine with small apartments. The majority of families would prefer the status quo. You will end up with cheap shitty apartments maxing the quota for affordable housing, luxury many roomed penthouses making up the quota for family dwellings, and you will end up with a city with no children and truly not an improvement per dollar on housing affordability and amenity.

San Francisco is a victim of its own success. Rather than attempt to create demand elsewhere through a rethinking of American Urbanism they want to cram more people into the most densely populated county outside of NYC.
Taking accountability for your solution does not require a physical presence. This is not relevant.

Edit: I worded that a bit poorly. The point I wanted to convey was that the physical location isn't what determines accountability.

If there are few patients, the demand would be low.
With "tools" I meant statistical tools, aka statistical tests.

Because the log is a time series where events happen at random times, the typical tests like the t-test are not readily applicable.

One way I am currently generating p-values is to look at questions like "When I did X / did not do X - how often did Y happen within the next 24 hours?". And put those numbers into statistical tests like the t-test.

But since "Y" often is not just something that happened but something that has a value (For example "High energy / normal energy / a little tired / very tired") this discards some data. This and many other specifics in a random-interval-event-log probably allow for better tests than I came up with so far.
Can't vouch enough for MyBatis, using it since forever and it never let me down, or produced any sort of frustration.

It strikes the perfect balance: on code level, you still work with domain objects and the db access sublimates away into single lines of code (select, update, ...), but they are backed by handcrafted queries that can leverage the full potential of the db. What MyBatis does is mapping from an arbitrary result set to your domain object, and it's _really smart_ about it (it knows how to convert most data types and perform arbitrary level of recursion/nesting of objects, or return collections). For all those things that it can't possibly do (like intermediary JSON conversions or things like that) you have an handy TypeHandler abstraction, that you can tuck away in a dedicated package for autodiscovery and doesn't pollute your code or queries.

Also, you pay only 3% over raw JDBC in the average case.

If you love MyBatis please donate: it can't go away.
