While it’s true that men have body image issues, when’s the last time you’ve seen them objectified the way a woman was in this thread?

That might happen too, but not with the same frequency or casualness. Worse, men tend to refuse to believe it’s a problem, and file it in the nonsense bucket.

One of the primary roadblocks for women getting into tech is that they’re not encouraged to the same way men are. And once they do, they constantly worry if they’re being treated specially just because they’re a woman — and if they don’t, they wonder if they would’ve gotten in if they looked just a little bit prettier.

I’m relaying this from a woman who refuses to participate on HN (for so many reasons). Men seem to like this dynamic we’ve cultivated here. I liked it myself. But those of you who care about equality should take a hard look at our behavior and how we express ourselves.

> In many jurisdictions the law allows to store and process PII no longer than needed.

1. I think this is a misunderstanding of the GDPR. You are allowed to keep and process PII, as long as you have a justification. Keeping the user‘s purchases around would be such a justification, as would be consent.
2. Even if you were right, they could still keep your account and games around, and just delete the billing info.
This sentence is very funny to me: "Most people in the Northern Hemisphere hang their pictures on a wall."

I guess OP did some research but perhaps wasn't exhaustive and didn't want to generalise to below the equator. People write funny and quirky things. I'm glad things like archive.org exist to save the quirkiness for future generations.

Western governments have always openly stolen from people.

I'm not sure I follow, the harm to the individual user is present in green, is it not? Here is the study this is from: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
"The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; is an indispensable companion to all those who are keen to make sense of life in an infinitely complex and confusing universe. For though it cannot hope to be useful or informative on all matters, it does make the reassuring claim that where it is inaccurate, it is at least definitively inaccurate. In cases of major discrepancy it is always reality that’s got it wrong. So, for instance, when the Guide was sued by the families of those who had died as a result of taking the entry on the planet Traal literally - it said “Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a very good meal for visiting tourists” instead of “Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a very good meal of visiting tourists” - the editors claimed that the first version of the sentence was the more aesthetically pleasing; summoned a qualified poet to testify under oath that beauty was truth, truth beauty, and hoped thereby to prove that the guilty party in this case was life itself for failing to be either beautiful or true."
Twitter unveils X logo to replace blue bird
From what I've seen it's too early to migrate from Push. With the last update they emphasized Pull as the default, but Push is not deprecated yet.

And even NATS Streaming still works: it is deprecated, not removed.

Unlike databases, a good thing about messaging and streaming solutions is that you don't have to pick one: you can make them talk to each other as long as there are bridges. This also applies to different approaches to messaging/streaming provided by a single platform.

Astonishing what people will write.

The current record price for solar is slightly over one cent per kWh and still people will write that oil is the cheapest option.

The installation rate for solar is such a steep graph that drawing it legibly is a real problem, see https://nitter.net/pic/orig/media%2FFOoa6xYXIAQKUnv.jpg for example, and still people will write that "if solar […] we'd be using it".

Honestly, astrology could have been something neat, like everyone born under a certain star sign could go to a club with activities and the like and overall just be a silly excuse for people to meet up and mingle.

Its the so called "professionals" that charge money and give advice leading often people astray that I find deeply immoral.
Why are you baffled people are sceptical of elite trickery when it has been going on for thousands of years?

Musk seems unstable, but Tesla, his stocks and various other endevaours has been masterfully constructed to extract public wealth and placing it into private hands.

This is probably just him being bipolar or whatever, but every day companies are being purposefully run to the ground, resold, repackaged, sabotaged etc. for a myriad of financial reasons.

The whole "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity " is such a disgusting american smokescreen, same with the stupid "occamz razor" being constantly used wrongly to shut down old school financial journalism or conspiratorial nature of the upper echelons of society, something that was in the public consciousness 50 years ago, but has now been memoryholed. It's so laughably convenient if it wasn't so sad.

The oligarchs are very, very savvy about finances, but "seem" incompotent about their core business, because their core business is often not what they tell you it is, or they just don't care about efficiency, but about monopolies, subsidies and public funds.

"Oops we lost all of the public's money, sorry we were so incompetent, we're just human after all and didn't intend or plan to at all even though the half the money is now funnelled through hyper advanced financial schemes to Caribbean islands".

Yes, this happens.

> NULL makes little sense from first principles.

You need something to represent lack of a value on LEFT JOINs. The author acknowledges as much, the two things he seems to be complaining about are:

1. It's impossible to distinguish between true lack of value from LEFT/RIGHT JOIN and a value that was directly set as NULL.

- Interestingly, this is exactly why JavaScript has both null and undefined, a design decision that many people also complain about and grumble that it should have been unified into one.

2. There's no reason for NULL to not equal NULL, which makes NULL a headache to handle and requires special IS NULL/IS NOT NULL operators to test for NULL-ness.

- Postgres 15 now addresses this with the DDL option UNIQUE NULLS NOT DISTINCT.

Finally, the author claims to have a solution that solves all these problems but sadly locked it behind a paywall on a website which is now defunct.

> Until recently, there was no logically correct, relational solution to missing data. We offer an outline of a possible such a solution in Practical Database Foundations paper #8, “The Final NULL in the Coffin,” which also summarizes the problems with NULLs.

After viewing dozens of his videos, I get the impression Serpentza is a paid propagandist. Take his claims with a heap of skepticism.
I suspect most people who are into astrology are doing it for enjoyment too. Not sure how somebody who enjoys looking at their weekly horoscope is being defrauded.
I frankly don't know. I went to a "gifted school" as a 1st grader that required you to pass an IQ test to get in and have >150 on their chart. This was in the early 1980s. At least half the kids were what we'd now call "on the spectrum". A couple of them were already performing at college level in math by the time they were 11. One of them went straight to UCLA when he was 13. I was programming in HyperCard at the time and could simply not fucking grok the math that the kid at the desk next to me was just absolutely smashing. I was inherently intelligent and I was raised with the best possible chance of getting to that level of competence and ability, but I ended up being an art school dropout who programmed a bitcoin casino and still can't deal with multivariable math unless I write a block of logic for it. I have no idea how or why that kid (Eric Kim was his name) was so much more brilliant than me. We were in the same exact math class with a really great teacher who also happened to teach the afterschool "programming club" in the Mac SE lab, in HyperTalk.

One kid just groks the math. One kid groks the fun(){} ...in a perfect world, those brains should just complement each other, I guess.

ToS of Ubisoft never explicitly mentions any account retention policy. Quoting Eurogamer:

> Interestingly, PC Gamer reports that it couldn't find mention of this in the company's US terms of use or its end-user licence agreement, however, it does reserve the right to suspend or end services at any time. It's also not clear how often you need to log into your Ubisoft account to prevent it getting tagged "inactive".
Another Silicon Valley power trip. What happened to wanting to solve a problem really well, like building great cars or better microprocessors? These days everybody wants to be Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Elon Musk and have a grand vision for how people live their lives with technology.

One big problem here is that ChatGPT is a great advancement, but the AI problem is far from "solved". I know this project is a few years old already, but it looks like the wrong moment for Sam Altman to spread himself thin.
Hard to discuss your point if you are not saying anything.

> and it is widely accepted that Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was a necessity to delay a looming war between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union

Citation needed. Stalin did things for his own reasons, and he didn't bother explaining them, so where are you getting this from? And if that were the case, why did the Soviet Union export so many crucial things (oil, tungsten, etc.) to Germany up to the very morning of Operation Barbarossa if they knew there will be used against them in the near future? And also, why was the Soviet Union caught off guard with the attack if they were expecting it and had mountains of intelligence showing it was imminent?

Also, invading Poland, Finland and the Baltics was certainly a choice by the Soviet Union. Yes, they're responsible for the start of WW2 because not only did they collaborate with Nazi Germany, they also gave Hitler and Germany a stable Eastern Front allowing them to focus on Poland and then Benelux and France.

> Soviet Union was an ally

Ally of convenience purely and entirely. They needed the other United Nations for the stuff and the other fronts, and the other United Nations needed them against the Germans (let's not forget, Germany lost the war on the Eastern Front). It shows in Soviet intentions and actions against Eastern European nations, like when then set up a puppet Polish government even though in theory they were allied to the actual Polish government in exile.
Thanks for that, that was beautiful. I know it won't happen, but I can't wait for it

This is so Elon...
It is is a structural problem that goes much deeper than what the author thinks. "Sticking to the process" is good and important to SOME (!!!) degree for sure. However, doing this blindly will (1) prevent further progress/advancements and more importantly (2) ignore existing problems. The issue with the latter is that one is deliberately ignoring (e.g. ethical) issues, because it's very difficult to unsee things, once they are seen. Furthermore, by being ignorant, one can easily withdraw from responsibilities (which one actually HAS but lies to themselves that they don't.

These are just a few though about the very complex topic ;)

Porting Doom to something weird is a hobby. No one actually believes the game is anything other than a silly game. It's not much different from building model ships in bottles: a very interesting and impressive technical exercise, but ultimately a task of zero practicality.

While I'm a big proponent of union types in programming languages (against Haskell-like Option wrapping and unwrapping), it is not clear to me that they would work for something like SQL. Would it mean allowing columns with union types?
My biggest problem with Ubisoft is that this is a company that owns the IP to some very storied AAA franchises(AC, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, fuck Might and Magic even), but the foreseeable future for these titles is that Ubisoft will milk the nostalgia as much as possible with gachalikes and unfinished 60 dollar games releasing in Beta with season passes and p2w.

If Blizzard deal goes through this would easily be the next company to be bought(extremely cheap valuation for premiere IP).
I think it varies a lot by where you live. In the US Apple seems to be much more popular, meanwhile where I live it's more seen as overpriced fashion brand for non-technical people. The few people in technical fields who actually use Macbooks tend to see it more as time-efficient alternative to Linux, at least that's my observation. I have met a lot of Apple haters in the past but not a single blind fan.
I've been thinking if I should mode from my soulless job in ML to a soulless job in finance.
Although broadly agreeing, it seems relevant that most people are irrational on most topics. I would expect belief in astrology to correlate negatively with beliefs that require systemic thinking but it is impolite to dismiss intelligent discussion with someone before testing them directly and making an effort to figure out what their strongest topics are.
yeah well that's better than a media that's obsequious and fawning to anyone with a few hundred million in the bank. it's competition. cover more bases
I totally agree, BUT (there is always a but) a fully open boot process is also fully open for maliciousness.

e.g. With full access to all hardware you could tell the PMIC (Power Management IC) to output the maximum voltage for some pins to permanently damage/destroy the SoC or other hardware on the board. This would also require that the hardware being damaged is also under-clocked for maximum effectiveness.

I love that I have full access to all the hardware, but I always keep in mind that the second that I run other peoples software on my hardware it always opens the possibility that it is no longer my hardware.

Embedded JS enables pushing down application logic into the database, which can result in shocking gains versus pulling each record out of the database and into the middleware. In one project I worked on, we got 100x performance improvement, not a typo.

Maybe you didn't get the job because you weren't a good fit for the job, or maybe you didn't get the job because the hiring committee simply found someone else just as good and flipped a coin. Sometimes there's a good reason for something, sometimes it's just happenstance. Trying to make up nonsensical reasons for things is pointless.
I do not have a problem with this. this is expected behaviour and easily understood and corrected for. it's not so easy to understand and correct for the corporate biases of the private media
What's with the weird dog picture?
There is no qualitative difference between belief in astrology and any of the world's religions. Not saying you're not entitled in disregarding astrology believers but the cut-off point is completely arbitrary and dare I say irrational.
Of course. I thought your summary was awesome - brought back a lot of memories - and was just trying to add colour.

I do remember reading Mozillazine to keep up to date with the rewrite… and at some point, it was a year at least, I just gave up.
Rick is right I believe. But why not just use overloading instead? That is what is done in many OO-langs to avoid making breaking changes.
No, I was not trying to imply that. I was saying that praising to not want to change ANYTHING about the way a system works is a way of being happily ignorant. Psychedelics have a way of forcing you out of this ignorance and for some people this seems very scary (because it means change - and many people don't like change).
Interesting, makes sense. Deutsche Bank has a pretty bad reputation for money laundering, as does Germany in general and especially Berlin.
If you're making $200/hour, you probably don't share a lot of the problems other people have around buying goods of all sorts.
Furthermore, you're likely to go shopping with friends/significant other/kids anyway and touching something when you're there is free - assuming you could even find clients to pay you your $200 an hour on a Saturday morning for example.

Overall, I don't think it's a bad idea to develop an intuition for most things you consume, even if you're well off.
What crime is it for the NSA/CIA, who are explicitly tasked by the government with gathering intelligence on foreign agencies, to hack say Mullwad, a Swedish entity? That’s like saying it’s a murder for the police to shoot someone who has hostages. I mean yes it’s the same action, but when it’s been deemed justified by the government, it’s not really a crime in the same way.

A crime in Sweden perhaps. Who will Sweden charge? Do they even have names for individual employees?

It’s also a “crime” to sell false and compromised products to customers yet CryptoAG existed for decades.
