I would expect Covid is one of several lab made viruses released by accident. It’s not malicious just a statistical inevitability as the means become more accessible.

Personally I’m very concerned about the grey goo scenario. The three disasters I’m mentally prepared for today are a heart attack, hydrogen bomb flash and having everyone and everything around me rapidly dissolve into a giant block of carbon.
Ever tried flarum? It's my preferred option in the "modern" forum realm, still pretty lightweight (even degrades gracefully without js).
Sorry, but this attitude is too defeatist to accomplish anything.

We can try something, even if it doesn't work, we can still try it. Ban those chemicals. If they want to move manufacturing to china to use illegal pollutants, let them. That's a huge cost to them and no guarantee china will let them keep doing it.

"It's not illegal in another country" isn't a reason for us to keep it legal. We can lead the way.
I wrote my own note-keeping system[0] and very much wanted all of the notes to just be markdown files on the disk. It turns out that there are trade-offs to this. If you want plaintext markdown files on disk AND want fancy features like file versioning, a search index, tags, etc then you need to store all of that metadata somewhere and you're down writing a half-assed implementation of a DBMS.

Now, you can certainly bite the bullet and full-ass the implementation like Dokuwiki did, but that is really quite a lot of work and effort against simply `import sqlite` and writing a couple of tutorial-level queries. And it turns out that exporting all of your documents to plaintext, if you should so choose, is a one-line command away.

I'm not sure the ratio of comments to LoC is a sign of good quality code.

Too many comments might actually be a bad thing. It's more lines to maintain, and sometimes the comments just tell what the code is doing where there is no need to.
I think the Tsar Bomba was designed metric (unlike the contemporary US bombs and space program) so perhaps it was chosen for that reason?

On one hand, I too like better communications in situations like this. On the other, you knew they were aware of the issue and working on it. Updating the status page with a "we're trying to fix it" every hour or so wouldn't speed up the process of fixing the problem or help you in any way.
Yeah, I'm sure meta is just dying to get publicity on this tiny site.

Nintendo is sometimes very good at what they do. Another example is the Pikmin series. Miyamoto's favorite. It's never been a real seller, but they do another version every ten years and it gets better every time. One day we'll look at these games and realize how much they invented.

Wow, that seems strange to me. Seems like the policy should be to make comments when needed, and keep them up to date.
Am I missing something in the pricing or is the Storage costs very unappealing. For anything with a usage skewed towards high ratio of storage to usage, the costs aren't competitive.

2.5$ per GB in "Scalar" and 1.5$ per GB in "Scalar PRO" compared to 0.11$ RDS for General purpose (or 0.125$ for provisioned + the IOPS you use, double that for multi-az), Supabase at 0.125$, Firebase at 0.1725$,DynamoDB at 0.25$, MongoDB Atlas serverless at 0.25$, cockroachDB serverless at 0.5$ per GB, FaunaDB at 1$ per GB.
(Neon says it's 0.000164 per GiB, but somethings seems off, it's not at the same scale, so I'm guessing there's a catch here)

It's really not a big leap, though. People who are afraid of violating a code of conduct because they're "under the watch of language police" are basically experiencing a form of anxiety that may or may not have a basis in reality.

Being afraid of being sent to the HR DEI board because you named a process 'Child1' then ran Kill(Child1) ... or any less obvious scenario similar to that ... is not going to do great things to your ability to work.
That's an idiotic policy and definitely not something that is industry standard.

Code gets out of date as well, so let's just stop writing it altogether..

Oh boy, sign me up! I need a space where I can cheer my team on and we can dominate the conversation through censorship and shadow banning of the opposing team like twitter used to be. Echo chambers make me feel good because it's a fun, friendly place where you never have to engage with opposing arguments and we all upvote each other.

>> querying them with http range requests to prevent downloading the entire database. It's pretty awesome!

Querying isn't a problem, you can query as much as you want. But where you'll hit the Sqlite limitation is in scaling for multi user write scenarios. Yes, even Sqlite can handle a few concurrent write requests but once your users start scaling in millions, you'll eventually need a proper RDBMS like mysql or postgres.

It really depends on the comments. Best practice is to comment “why” something was done, not “what” is being done, or “how”. Every programmer can read code, most code should be pretty self-explanatory. But in any sufficiently complex routine, there are going to be some things that a programmer struggled to get working the first time, that they had to work around, or that was simply unintuitive. These should be commented. Generally I’ve found uncommented code bases to be thrown together haphazardly and to be of lower quality. Same with those that only trivially leave comment breadcrumbs about what is being done, duplicating the code itself.
> I remember going to an actual bakery in Belgium, you know, the guy who wakes up at 3AM to make bread. Get a fresh bread. Still warm. If you leave it on the counter for 2 days it is rock hard. Because it is unprocessed (or at least a lot less).

> I guess we have to thank Kroger for putting the bakeries in the US out of business.

While I agree with you about typical bread found in US grocery stores, there are plenty of small bakeries in the US that make "real" bread. Every city or even decently-sized town that I've been in had a least one solid bakery with bread/pastries/etc baked fresh every day. Find them and support them!

How to connect with 2k recently funded startups every single month?
Hello, Hackers

Lead Generation as we all know is HARD WORK.

Not everyone can pull it off consistently over a period of time without putting in the hours on a daily basis.

That is the only reason you keep on looking for a VA every single day spending $$$$ just to realize:

You have to spend more time letting your VA know what type of leads you want.

The lead quality is not what you expected and it resulted in you wasting even more time and increased frustration.
This resulted in me exploring services in the market that can provide me with lists every month of whom I can reach out to and generate interest on demand.

DRUMROLLS enter Funded Startups list by LeadBites.com

WHAT IS THE FUNDED STARTUPS LIST?

It’s a Never-Seen-Before offer from Leadbites.

We know that the most annoying, time-consuming, and costly aspect of cold email outreach is BUILDING AND VERIFYING LISTS! That’s why you need the Funded Startup List, packed with valuable data points, sent to your inbox monthly.

Yes, you’ll get access to 2,000+ Recently Funded Startups EVERY MONTH!

You NEED the Funded Startups List if you’re a:

IndieHacker
Agency Owner
Service Provider
SaaS Marketer
Freelancer
Can sell anything to a recently funded startup!!!

If you’ve got a solid product, service, or offer, then get it in front of this list.

Do it every month and close deals with prospective buyers with funds to deploy.

I realized this late but they just came up with a LIFETIME DEAL on RocketHub. This means 2 things:

You pay ONCE and get 2000 verified Leads of FUNDED STARTUPS every single month (If I were you reading this, I will grab that without wasting any more time)

As we at RocketHub decided to run their deal, we are running a special 10% early bird discount that you should take advantage of, use code: 'EARLYBIRD-FUNDED-10' on checkout.

Check the deal out here: https://www.rockethub.com/deal/leadbites-funded-startups-lis...
> Absolutely nothing you stated is legal now.

Sure, I didn't mean to suggest that those things are legal. Just giving a few examples of speech that is harmful, rather than merely distasteful.

> The government would not have to intervene asking for censorship in any of these cases.

Hm, I think that may be pinning quite a lot on some questionable definition of "censorship."

In these examples the law would be banning some specific speech from me, Pfizer, and the mugger, and punishing us if we engaged in that banned speech anyway. Isn't that what censorship is?
I don't care about Rockstar's decisions, but it's always interesting to hear about hacks and exploits in online games.

In a similar vain is there any risk to Lemmy or Mastodon? Did any current or former Twitter or Reddit employees contribute to Lemmy, Mastodon or the other open source alternatives to Twitter and Reddit? If so would they be a target for big corporations like Twitter and Reddit to pursue?

I've got a feeling that there are so many false fire alarms that fire crews probably don't bother getting out the hoses until they see smoke at least.

Remember the truck has a couple of minutes supply of water onboard, so hooking up to a hydrant immediately isn't the top priority anyways.
The Federalist papers literally argued against what became of Bill of Rights.

> The Federalist Papers (specifically Federalist No. 84) are notable for their opposition to what later became the United States Bill of Rights. The idea of adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution was originally controversial because the Constitution, as written, did not specifically enumerate or protect the rights of the people, rather it listed the powers of the government and left all that remained to the states and the people. Alexander Hamilton, the author of Federalist No. 84, feared that such an enumeration, once written down explicitly, would later be interpreted as a list of the only rights that people had.[citation needed]

Yet we have a bill of rights!

Yeah you can absolutely use the papers to get context about what their authors were thinking. However, as I've shown with just one of many examples, you should not use the papers to claim that all the founding fathers think that way.

Even one of the other Federalists, Hamilton, disagreed with your interpretation.

> Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists took a broader view. Hamilton famously argued that the Clause authorized spending, so long as “the object, to which an appropriation of money is to be made, must be general, and not local; its operation extending in fact, or by possibility, throughout the Union, and not being confined to a particular spot.” While Hamilton did not advocate a completely unbounded interpretation of “general welfare,” under which Congress could spend money for virtually any object it considers beneficial, he and the Federalists did believe that the Clause authorized a wide range of spending for purposes that go beyond Congress’s other enumerated powers, so long as they were sufficiently “general.”

> The debate between the Madisonian and Hamiltonian views continued throughout much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As a general rule, Democratic presidents and members of Congress tended to adopt positions similar to Madison’s, or slightly broader. Thomas Jefferson, Madison, James Monroe, James Polk, James Buchanan, and Grover Cleveland all opposed bills authorizing spending on local infrastructure and disaster relief projects, citing constitutional objections. By contrast, the Federalists, the Whigs, and the Republicans tended to take a broader view of congressional power, closer to Hamilton’s position. Whig leader Henry Clay, for example, argued that the Clause authorized his proposal for a wide-ranging “American System” of canal and roadbuilding.

You're claim that this is what it meant back then is clearly wrong, since even back then people like Hamilton disagreed with Madison. That's why using Madison as your only guide for interpreting the constitution is, well, not really a great argument at all.
“Allowed” is a funny thing.

I launched “Last Week in AWS” with AWS in the domain name seven years ago. AWS has never made an issue of it, though they obviously have that option.

I also have the option (and ownership) to migrate to “Last Week in the Cloud” and talk about their competitors, so it’s likely everyone is happier this way—but I confess to not kicking the bear hard enough to find out.
> there’s at least (at least) two more kinds of docs you’ll want:

These already exist within the 4 models described.

> Conceptual Overviews

That's an explanation. It's covering the understanding. That's the purpose of that document.

> (“Aren’t these just a kind of explanations?” Explanations are intended for people who already know, or are in the process of learning, your subject. It comes after the tutorial. Conceptual overviews come before the tutorial. They are for people who are getting ready to learn the subject, or for outsiders evaluating if they want to learn it.)

This is wrong. When you start reading the documentation, you have started the process of learning. An explanation before is fine. The overview is literally a part of learning about the topic. Where it sits is immaterial. The purpose and the intent is important.

> Snippets and Examples

That's How-Tos.

> Imagine I present you an example of a code, and then an example of the same code, optimized. I’m not giving you a rote how-to on optimizing code, I’m demonstrating a way of thinking about optimizing code. It all comes back to the mental model.

You are demonstrating "how to think about optimizing code."
That assumes a court deciding "this was a bad thing" definitively makes it a bad thing. Dred Scott might disagree.
Eh, first the infrastructure to run a billion (real) people is going to cost you an epic fuckton. So, to actually pay for that you're going to either ask for VC money or show ads.

But then it turns out that money you got from the above will be far and beyond more than you'll ever earn by having people pay for the service. Your VCs and ad networks will want more engagement so you'll start down the dark path of increasing that all while showering yourself in money and not giving a single shit about the average person.

I'm on a well, quite a deep one, that taps into a very deep aquifer below the niagara escarpment, with plentiful clean water, and I was always confident in the cleanliness of our water.

But I just put in a reverse osmosis system for cooking & drinking water because of this whole PFA thing. I suspect it's highly likely that given their use in fire retardants, lubrication, omniprescence all over the place, they're probably deep down in aquifers at this point.

Sigh.
Huh, so like Voldemort then. Fun.
100% - although this time around there is (in my opinion) _a lot more data_ [1] that regulated markets (like CME bitcoin futures) drive price discovery.

[1] There was data back then too, it just wasn't received.
They're horrible for archived data. And in technical ones, they encourage people to post the same shit questions over and over. Meta won't encourage any effort, because effort stops people from using it, so you end up with tons of low quality, disorganized, unsearchable shit.

Microkernel architecture pretty much requires that processes communicate via explicitly defined interfaces, usually message passing. And it becomes much more difficult for subsystems to coordinate low-level activities, which is crucial for performance optimizations. And yes, context switches matter a lot too.
Ten thousand bilious blue blistering barnacles that's a tremendous idea!

Or by "full range" did you mean "limit it to a few well-worn cliches"?
From a constitutional perspective (which is the perspective Supreme Court Justices swear to have), the ability of the government to limit speech is not allowed. Full stop. Sources below.

First Amendment to the Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Constitutional Oath taken by all current Supreme Court Justices:
"I, _________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
I'd first like to know how they judged what is "good" vs "bad" code.

Not that commenter, but with 20 years of experience in open source I share their hypothesis.

Language policing slows down technical progress, very significantly I would wager.
Nights into dreams was my favorite game as a kid. The graphics were just mind-blowingly pretty at the time to the point where I had dreams about visiting dreamland.

Though the whimsical fantasy setting of Spyro the Dragon on Playstation was up there too. And I do agree that the Saturn was missing a killer Sonic game. Sonic 3D Blast was a bit too quirky, not 3D enough, and not exclusive enough to be a system seller.

Also I'm a die-hard Sega super fan so totally biased.
adding swears into codebases would improve their quality
To be clear we’re not talking about the government speaking freely. They do so and with seeming impunity for bs relative to their position of authority.

We’re talking about the government coercively censoring speech of citizens in/on the media, not under emergency orders or commandeering, but as a matter of routine. Yes they’ve always done this even with the major news networks thirty or forty years ago (pre-Internet). It was wrong then just like it’s wrong now. It’s more visible and obvious now to more people, the evidence is right in front of us through leaks and email disclosures from efforts like the Twitter files.
> I don't see why there needs to be any coercion.

If there is no coercion then your complain boils down to others not sharing your opinion, both in the way they don't reverberate your personal opinion and in the way they express opinions you don't agree with.

That's kind of the opposite thing you claim you're trying to achieve.
>> Why aren't we forcing the polluters to pay for the cleanup as well as the likely-tremendous costs of damage to people's health and the ecosystem

> We are (1), but to be frank the "payment" isn't enough. We need criminal liability for executives and board members. Apparently there's not enough incentive not to destroy public health for generations.

Criminal liability for decision-makers is the way to go, along with some plan that wipes out the shareholders but otherwise doesn't destroy or cripple the company as a going concern. The company itself isn't guilty, and it has lots of innocent stakeholders (e.g. customers, lower-level employees) who would be harmed if it was damaged.
Well, I'll pass.
