You've made a lot of good points. I've stepped into a team that is supporting a large product that has been going for years. There are so many error logs and alerts that nobody notices them any more - its so frustrating.
And the few, lone, honest online retailers get early discovered by online scammers who turn that honest retailer inside out, destroy them financially, and then take over their URL. I've seen it happen, and it nearly happened to me but I shut down rather than spiral down, unable to wage war on so many fronts.
Laypeople like you is why natural sciences are distrusted: you mistake natural science for another religion that you blindly ask for answers to your existential questions. You fail to notice that science does not provide those answers, but you go ahead and imagine those answers because you are too lazy to study actual philosophy—you pretend that physics backs you up even as no physicist worth their salt would make such a claim.

Yes, some scientists believe in materialistic monism. Some scientists also believe in whatever version of God (perhaps this would be news to you, but it happens all the time and there’s no paradox at all between being a scientist and religious simultaneously). However, both of the above are philosophical or theological beliefs; they can inform what natural sciences does, but not the reverse.

Natural sciences create models and make predictions that if this, then that would likely follow. However, there is never a conclusion that if “this -> that” is demonstrated then a model is “true” in some sort of absolute objective sense—the model is merely a transient metaphor, another model will replace it, and no model can ever be “true” because the map is never the territory.
Countries aren't Borg ships. Trade between countries have beneficiaries and victims in both countries. The victims usually have zero say in the trade so, no, they can't simply decline a transaction that harms them.
A properly trained one shouldn't overfit. If it was trainer to just detect error lines and flag them for human review I think that'd be very beneficial

Not as accurate as string matching though. And more time/compute intensive

I won a dev phone on a competition near my uni (the competition was who will be the fastest to create a simple app for FFOS and I just created a simple html page with a hello world in <p> tags lol), some ZTE one I think.

I don't think the conclusion follows. Maybe the bacteria was already on his hands from a different source, and the cat bite allowed it to enter the body.
I thought the same - bit harsh!
.NET is big for mobile app development, particularly when you include Unity. It's really one of the best solutions for writing Android + iOS apps, where you can share a significant amount of code and still have native-looking apps. You don't need to depend on clunky electron which makes your apps huge. .NET apps are smaller and faster than electron based apps. Swift is probably a common choice these days, but wasn't an option a few years ago.

Unity is used by a huge number of mobile games and uses C#. The Godot engine also supports C#.

On desktops not as much, but it is sometimes used for cross platform development, and plenty of games on Steam are written in Unity and run cross platform.

Linux desktop could have had a better story when MonoDevelop was gaining popularity, but Linux/desktop support basically got sidelined when Xamarin shifted focus to mobile development, and the acquisition by MS killed mono.

Since MS went fully open source on .NET, the situation for Linux is improving, but it's not yet a choice for most developers on Linux and may likely never be, because everyone wants to write web apps.

Many of the Linux desktop apps written with Mono have been abandoned or are barely maintained.

There's a few recent apps written with Avalonia which run cross-plaform. Wasabi Wallet (bitcoin privacy focused wallet) is a good example. See more here: https://github.com/AvaloniaCommunity/awesome-avalonia#sample...
Alternately, you can use the Android environment and Android firefox, if you want it to work like a tablet instead of a desktop computer.
I like how the headline is about impotence, but when you Ctrl+f the article, there's no further mention.

The article is rather about "cancer, birth defects, and infertility" which is a completely different set of things.

I’m sorry to be this frank, but if you weren’t even aware of the importance of transactional safety for read-modify-write operations, you shouldn’t be in the business of creating such a library and advertising it. This is really basic database stuff, so you are only at the beginning of the learning curve regarding database topics.

I mean, any unique features HURD has, Linux can easily copy, like with FUSE.

The safety benefits are kind of dubious, in that we're not in the 90s anymore, restarting Windows 3 times a day. Modern kernels are very stable as it is, so more stability is barely noticeable.

And we have containers and virtualization.
Agree with this. I had to make my own equipment everywhere I went. The people I met later in my career who went to nice schools, with illustrious research experience had no idea what they were doing. Okay that's an exaggeration. But, when they entered industry they trusted every black box and rationalized every bizarre thing they saw as if their results depended entirely on their domain of interest.

Negative concentrations no problem! That must mean the machine is tracking the previous known value and this is the difference! Oh my oh my... The things I've seen the highly/expensively educated get paid lots of money to do, present, and be rewarded for in regulated industries....
Show HN: AI-powered Email Assistant and Product Discovery for fast growing teams
We built Neferdata (www.neferdata.com) out of a personal need to eliminate email distractions while staying open to emerging trends and solutions. On one hand the cold sales emails are getting completely out of control. On the other, if you are anything like me, you are always looking for cool tools that others are excited about. These concepts may not seem directly related but our belief is that we can provide a free utility of a better email experience while learning about what our users actually get value from. Then we can use that knowledge to drive more transparency around SaaS solutions that are worth trying out.

This is why the product has 2 main features: Email Assistant and Product Discovery. We use large language models (LLMs) to summarize and infer depersonalized insights from the always-free email filter side, allowing us to better understand interactions between different company types. These insights focus on the nature of the relationship between communicating parties rather than their individual identities. Because of that the insights are depersonalized by default. The insights power our graph of SaaS providers and users. In many ways, this works similarly to how TikTok knows what you *will* like and hides the stuff you won’t, just applied to tech products.

You can try our AI product recommendations without the need to create an account at www.neferdata.com/discover. If you’d like to get recommendations that are more tailored to the industry you are in you’ll need to sign in with Google or Microsoft. And with the free Email Assistant we can even further personalize the recommendations, while providing you with tools to contain the cold sales email frenzy.

The product is functional but still evolving, and your input will help make it even better. Try it out and let us know what you think. Your time and thoughts are greatly appreciated!
It is true, but most of those bacteria are ones that we have developed a balance with (population sizes are kept in check by the body's environment and other life within it), so they do not pose a danger under normal circumstances.

An open wound/near your mouth (maybe you've bitten your tongue accidentally) isn't much of a concern in that regard with your collection of bacteria (your immune system is aware of them and prepared), but if you bite someone else and break their skin you might transfer some cultures that your victim's immune system is not as prepared for. These populations are well suited to living in a human (that is why they are hanging around you), so easily take advantage of a human body with an immune response that takes time (due to lack of previous exposure) to ramp up a full controlling reaction.
I think this is yet another sign that a lot of the big tech companies business models don't actually scale like they thought.

There was a golden window, before the scammers caught up, when you could trust things not checked by humans ( whether that be news stories, social media posts or goods for sale ) - and that window appears to be closing.

If they lose trust - they are dead. The question is how much will maintaining that trust cost - and will they be able to keep their advantage over traditional retailers?

I'm not sure AI systems is the answer - you just end up in a never ending AI war between scammer and checker.

In the end, they may find they need the human handshake.
> For example: a number of operations are not reversible in the current git model because they're not tracked. We'd need git to start tracking uncommitted changes so that it can restore them on `undo`.

No? If an operation is not reversible then it’s not undoable. That’s not abnormal. The opposite really.

> By any reasonable definition, forcing reporters to reveal their sources abridges freedom of the press (if not crippling it all together).

The 1st amendment doesn't explicitly site protecting of sources and it is up to interpretation. My interpretation doesn't include absolute protection of sources and those tasked with interpreting the Constitution, the Supreme Court, don't see it that way either. Protection of sources has always been found to be a limited right. Even the speech part of the 1st amendment has been found to be limited in some ways.

If you're going to treat logs as a db entry and afford them a schema, then by all means knock yourself out.

The main point he's trying to make is not just about the logs you wrote but about logs coming from other systems or services, e.g. monitoring kernel logs in your OS. As he rightly points out, one of the reasons is that logs are not an API.

> One reason this happens is that almost no one considers log messages to be an API, and so they feel free to change log messages at whim.

What you’re saying is correct but a tad bit theoretical. If a country is flooding your market with goods your manufacturers cannot possibly compete with, it leads to the destruction of your manufacturing capacity. So while the consumers are better of in the short/medium run in your country they are left vulnerable in the long run. The issue is balancing the short term positive impact of trade with the long term strategic impacts on your economy. Customs duties can help level the playing field a bit and allow local manufacturing to adjust. Sometimes local manufacturing can never adjust and as a country you need to make the tough decision that it’s ok for those factories to close permanently.

Especially in English.

For people who speak English as a second or third (etc) language, that can sometimes be a bit hard to grasp.

Eg in German, Amerika typically means the two continents (but confusingly can also mean the US of A).

“But bitemporality always introduces complexity!”
"Most of the time, most people don’t need most of the power of bitemporality."

That said, bitemporality does provide us with a useful, rigorously defined mental model to help reason about time-oriented problems, the tools to implement it and, by approaching problems with this in mind, we become aware of edge cases we may have otherwise missed.

Naturally, we'd like to have our cake and eat it: we want the ease and performance of a traditional update-in-place database for everyday transactions and queries, but the safety net of a bitemporal database when we need it - and this is our primary success criterion for XTDB.

There's an industry group working on this.[1] They're worried.

One big concern that hasn't been well addressed is the interaction between natural gas infrastructure and electrical power generation. The 2021 Texas outage made this clear. "Five times more natural gas than wind power had been lost. When power was cut, it disabled some compressors that push gas through pipelines, knocking out further gas plants due to lack of supply."[2] If more of the Texas grid had gone down (it was close), it would have taken far longer to restart. Especially with frozen water in the pipelines. Nuclear, coal, hydro, solar, and wind plants have their own local fuel supply, but natural gas plants usually do not. The pipeline system and compressors need to be brought up first. This is especially a concern after the 2021 pipeline ransomware attack.[3]

Much of the GDPR is fine and I think we are right to crackdown on cross-website tracking, but the recent attempts in Europe to basically ban behavioral ads of all kind (a reversion to newspaper style ads) is, in my view, clearly a protectionist effort aimed specifically at American companies because Europe feels they cannot compete (of course missing the fact that the adhoc, ex post facto & bill of attainder-style of regulation in Europe is a large part of the story of why they have been unable to compete)

There are lots of small, niche businesses that literally could not exist without this targeting.

> Unless you have some other strategy that does not include rebasing or merging upstream changes, there's no advantage to not pulling.

Of course there is: after fetching you can see if there are differences between upstream and local, you can inspect those difference, and you can decide how to reconcile the two.

“Pull” is a big hammer which unconditionally performs an integration operation, and the default integration is one you almost never want too.

There‘a no advantage to pulling IME, in the best car scenario it’s just an alias for “git fetch && git merge”, if that’s what you want you can just do that and create your own alias.
No. You don’t control my use of language. “America” is a perfectly fine synechdoche for United States of America. As the dominant economic and military power of the past century, the use of “America” to refer to USA is an organic vernacular that cropped up all around the world. It didn’t just come from Americans.

Go cope somewhere else. I’ll keep saying America. Tired of cry-bully whiners trying to tell everyone else how to speak.

Not as much so, at least not causing the same issues. Feeding from (and crapping in) waste sites which is mostly what urban vermin do is far less damaging than spoiling grain stores and killing a farm's profit (or the farm's customers!).

In the past, before much of our food was in plastic containers or more difficult to puncture packaging, or in a fridge, vermin posed more of a problem in that way within the house (they still do in poorer locations where safe food storage is more of a difficulty).

Some non-farm households even in well-off locations do still have cats with vermin control being one of the stated reasons.
