I tend to agree, but the IEA regularly puts out reports on technology assessments and their projected impact, and, IIRC, last year's report had bumped up the priority of the "Aviation" category.

I recall the gist of it being that technologies like LEDs, EVs, building systems, and heat pumps were coming along nicely, but things like grid storage, air travel, and something else remained stubborn problems.

That is, I wouldn't be surprised if this was (however indirectly) tied to real, high-level global objectives. Since air transport isn't going away, I'd expect a bunch of these micro-optimizations in the future (especially because of battery limitations).
Is it really contentious that Israel is in the middle east? When the issue of whether Turkey is in Europe or the middle east is contentious enough, I'd think Israel would be a no-brainer "of course it's middle east"

It'd be like debating whether Saudi Arabia is in Africa to me.
My current job was less than a week between my application and signing the final offer. Day 1: I send in an application. Day 2: My future manager writes back "Hey, do you have any work examples in obscure language I used for 10 minutes in my EE classes?". I respond "No, nobody has work examples in obscure language." Later that day, same manager emails me again, asking the same question, in slightly different words. I say no again. They respond asking to set a time for an interview. I reply I'm free tomorrow. Day 4, interview. Takes an hour and half. I receive a job offer about an hour later. I reply we need to have a conversation about salary. Weekend rolls through, negotiations are successful and I'm hired on Monday.
The Bush Administration did not do any of those things. Reading his comments as a dismissal of those things, rather than the guy running the White House when he wrote it, seems uncharitable.
Is there any scientific comparison between AWS amd64 and arm instances for performance and cost? I tried running some stuff on an arm instance but it seemed to similar in both price and performance to amd64. Just with added complexity to make it work nicely with Github actions built container images.
That puts it too strongly. Yes, that the german state is collecting the money for the church is strange. The biggest political party calls itself christian. Then there is the habit of having religious institutions organize public daycare (kindergarten). Even worse is the Tanzverbot, forbidding public parties around easter, as that evokes fundamentally religious countries governed by church leaders, as in Iran.

But exactly that is not the case in Germany. There is no visible or noticeable influence of religious leaders, of church positions being unmoveable pillars of german politics. Many examples, divorce, abortion, same-sex marriage. With the paragraph above it is obvious that there is some influence, but it paints the wrong picture when looking at society and politics as a whole. The influence of christian fundamentalism on US politics for example is way bigger.

All of this is the effect of having done the separation of church and state over a hundred years ago, 1803 and earlier, but then stopping there. Afterwards there was a coexistence, varyingly strong, but nothing more.

Germans today simply aren't very religious, churches are mostly only visited on Christmas, and even then only by a small minority.
There is excess labor but they are NEETs
Hell I have gotten offers like this on a Discord bot, even. Wherever user data can be found, there are those who'd like to have their finger on the pulse
100% this. In most places I worked the C-levels were not in the office most of the time, when there were multiple offices they would mostly visit the ones closer to their homes and for the usual "weekly/monthly conversations with c-levels" they'd be at their homes or second homes zooming in.

One remote work hater I really like to listen to is Scott Galloway, that keeps on harping that remote work is horrible but doesn't even live in the same country where he's running his business anymore. Flexibility for me but not for thee.
Postgres became cool when the scales fell off peoples eyes and they realized that very few use cases necessitate or even benefit from "NoSQL" databases.
This hurricane is very unusual. Hurricanes coming from the east normally die out before they get to Hawaii because the water there is cooler. This one plowed right past the islands (to the south) and is still going strong (130 mph winds).

I bet Google doesn't use an entire DC to train a model (and "consumer of energy" is a silly metric).
Huge congrats for shipping some of these features. I know many of us have been wanting them for a while. In particular, migration squashing will be super helpful. I'm a little iffy on the branching stuff, since I like the solution of having two separate Supabase projects to act as different environments (though that's certainly not as powerful as actual branching, but it's simpler to reason about). Really excited to try some of the things on this list that seem new today (several of them have been out for a while as far as I can tell?)
DART nudged it's target about 2.7mm/sec. To ensure a miss you need a sideways deflection of up to 4000 km (depends on the geometry.) To generate a miss by Dimorphos assuming the worst case you're looking at 1,481,481,481 seconds of lead time. That's about 47 years. Against the dinosaur killer you're looking at a lead time far beyond our ability to predict orbits.

Note, also, that if you're throwing kinetic stuff at your target you get little choice in how it hits, you very well might not be able to shove it to the side.

Despite the refusal to consider the option there really is only one choice against a major threat: Orion. We know it works (it has been flight tested with conventional charges, it has been tested with single impulses with nuclear charges), while there are some serious question marks about whether you could actually build an Orion capable of launching form Earth (how do you keep the pusher plate from getting too hot??) that does not apply if you're using it against an asteroid. You don't care what shape the asteroid ends up in, just that it get out of the way. Your only limit is that you don't want to make any given shove big enough to risk breaking the asteroid.

By a crude approximation you can easily get 10% of the bomb energy to show up as impulse, this can be increased by putting the bomb closer (remember, you don't care about damage short of destruction) and some still-classified data says that it's possible to build a shaped charge that directs the majority of it's energy at the asteroid. Obviously, exact numbers are not known to us mere mortals.
Same, I think I know what you mean? This is like a teeny donation compared to what we could be achieving if we worked together to solve major problems together rather tha constantly obsessing over shareholder value through silly things like selling more ads (which is the primary focus).
The number of banks is not a good indicator of how much competition exists in a market. The elasticity of prices in that market is a better measure, but also has flaws. In general you need to look at how much margin a given industry is pulling in to determine how much leverage it has.

On the bank metric:
There are plenty of quasi non functional FDIC insured banks that are used as vehicles for reverse takeovers to allow a market entrant to avoid the hassle of obtaining their licenses.

Additionally given the substantially increased variability within different European markets we'd expect significantly different competitive dimensions between regional and international tier banks.
Sounds like a great opportunity for someone to make an AI that is designed to "decrypt" patents into their actual useful parts (minus the legal stuff basically)
There is a lot of activity in this space, and I think it's a good thing.

Other very similar but less code-heavy solutions include appsmith, tooljet, or budibase.

In the same spirit, but SQL-only instead of based on javascript, I am currently working on https://sql.ophir.dev . It also allows building entire data-centric applications and internal tools very quickly, but without having to think about things like "remix", "vite", or "next.js", which sound like chinese to most non-developers.
This is not a market for retro, it is a market for replicas, an entirely different one. Still a replica is a replica, and should not be advertised as a brand new original machine, which the original title (before edit) was about.
> I suspect many people on HN have never had a proper office with a door.

In my time at Apple I had a real office with a real door for about half of my time. Of that only about half was an office I didn't have to share with someone else. The lone offices were the most productive I ever was while working there. I could close the door and go unbothered for hours. I turned off the lights and had my own lamp that was much more comfortable.

Sharing an office with coworkers wasn't bad on its face but it's difficult to focus if the other person is talking with someone else. It's all manageable but objectively worse than a single office. The open floor plan at Apple Park was just fucking horrible. Constant distractions all day. Sure you could collaborate but when trying to actually get work done it was in spite of a hundred visual and audible distractions. I'm sure I distracted others inadvertently as well.

A giant spaceship of a campus and they couldn't manage to give everyone a private space. Just the stupidest design for a building.
>I have lost count how many times we have received instructions to move Israel from Europe to Middle East, back and forth

Google maps (and I assume other map providers) does the same thing. When you go view disputed territories, the result you'll be seeing depends on the geopolitical stance of the country you're viewing this from.
Not sure I'd agree about it being esoteric. Understanding or at least knowing about ARP is still very much essential for people in networking. arping is a very useful tool for seeing if machines on the same network segment are up and just not responding to ICMP pings. Anyone looking at tcpdump/Wireshark dumps will run into it sooner or latter.

It is true that software engineers may sooner run into it when debugging their home network than their application though as cloud and traditional networks are very different.
I explained plain as day how it’s easy to be skeptical of anything that can’t be verified quickly and then explained the difference.

There’s not a lot left to say if you’re going to ignore that.
Most of the posts seem to be confusing 'conservative' or 'concerned about vaccines' with 'unreliable narrator'.
No, not like that at all lmao

Just wait until you hear about your cursor being tracked on pages and what images and positions on the site you hover and stop scrolling over :p

Intel isn't giving my browser data to enemies of the state. What do you really think Intel is doing with this information?

And yeah, website URLs are important since people want to bootstrap and toss WebGL all over the place needlessly; all that is GPU accelerated. Blame anyone not using a plain-text website.
Because you are actually more production when you are being interrupted vs locked away where nobody can reach you.

Or do you just work on small projects that you can finish by yourself?
But how are you going to fix it then?
AFAIR, 'someone' changed that in the nineties down from 28. For whatever reason. Furthermore BMI does not discriminate between muscle mass, bone mass, and fat mass.
And to top that, it does not disriminate between male & female.
It is a completely overrated value, IMHO doing more harm than having beneficial use cases.
Wow, these are very useful.

Is there an example project that demos the best way to setup these features?

edit: I see TFA links to the docs where most things are covered (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/cli)
“Put the servers somewhere cool.”

No joke. That’s his plan.
I think I replied to the wrong comment, but I ammended mine. Your situation looks more serious than the expected temporary discomfort. Depending on the person, the adaptation shouldn't last more than a few weeks.
What do you suppose they use then?

Considering they don’t do one thing at a time.

My point is we can keep justifying everything we do as necessary but Google is burning a lot of energy to sell adds (which let’s face it, does use a whole DC) while fixing contrails on the side?
Firstly, if you understood that this is a reference, why are you trying to interpret separate words literally?

And secondly, there was no constructive criticism or even any mention of "fascism" or "invasion".

Following your own logic, I could - just for the sake of example, mind you - claim that you come from hellish slave-hole where people eat babies and then justify it with actually literally the same slogan as you did. Would that be as fucking stupid? Yes, it would.

Now, should I expect you to accuse me of whataboutism for trying to build a consistent logical framework?
Not sure if sarcasm but will respond as if it's not.

There are lots of business models to choose from

- subscription
- affiliate links
- sponsors
- one time charge, this one is tricky as restricting access requires a back-end that needs ongoing maintenance and server costs

How condescending. Whether you love this job or not, there seems to be valid criticism about your hiring process. Instead of responding with empathy and concern, the glib responses are a turn off on their own. Are you setting a good corporate example in treating candidates this way? Is this representative of your work culture?
~2011 I remember people religiously recommending postgres over mysql. ~2009 it seemed the go to db was still mysql.
You'd be surprised how often "live set" is a synonym for "USB stick."

The scene is notorious for it. It's really not hard to find vids of DJs dancing, pointing, posing, and poking uselessly at a mixer which is obviously just there for the look.
"And how do you spell your name, sir?"

"It's lowercase-italics 'r', lowercase-italics 'e', lowercase-italics 'd', lowercase-italics 'a', lowercase-italics 'c', lowercase-italics 't', lowercase-italics 'e', lowercase-italics 'd'"

"Ha, ha, your name is 'redacted'?"

"No"
Damn, I have a few of these. I keep them backed up to a RAID setup but still disappointing to hear.
This is so unusual it borders on unbelievable
The hiring game is really varied across their teams fwiw. I get the impression the technical lead of some group has total discretion over how to arrive at the yes/no call.
As an aside, I now live in a place that regularly sees proximal wildfires, and I've thought to myself, if I ever build my own house, there is zero chance I would build it to current building standards.

Admittedly, I don't know to what standards I would build, but building mostly below ground is one.
indeed it needs more work, thanks for the feedback! It helps us to make it better (:
It's a cliche because it's true - it's very easy to grow by selling a $1 for 50¢. WFH, Covid, etc obviously helped kill WeWork but they had a long time to reach profitability before 2020.

This is a great read, the public display of his wife thanking his mother was ... something. - https://www.propertyweek.com/insight/the-cult-of-wework/5098...
When I switched to WFH, it was amazing suddenly finding an extra 5 figures annually in my pocket.

Commuting is also the most dangerous thing the average person does.

My wife only commutes in 4 days a month, and we still have dashcam footage from multiple close calls.

Recently a pickup truck cut someone off and hit their car, then proceeded to flee during rush hour. In traffic doing about 20MPH he swerves though a hair away from my wife at over 60MPH. She asked me to check the footage because the wind force was so strong she wasn't sure he didn't graze her.

Everyone looks at you crazy if you want to do an extreme sport, or even something like dirtbiking, but on my old commute there'd be 2-3 major accidents a week, a death every week or two, and nobody bats an eye. All so I can log into a data centre in North Virginia, that's nowhere near me.
The issue with that is that "Gets to read and/or write the DOM" happens to be the only permissions a nefarious extension needs while also being those that a vast number of useful extensions require.
Retail banking is low margin high volume, but a bank's CMG or IB divisions are NOT low margin operations. Trading desk margins vary depending on the strength of the group and the clientele. If you're a primary desk for a trillion dollar AUM entity, you make a very pretty penny off your Bloomberg terminal subscription.
To be fair, we only heard his side of the story.

Hmm for me when Oracle bought MySQL.
Temporary storage, yes, but they are marketed as rugged and reliable external SSD for photographers and film makers to use for storing their images/video on rather than filling up their MacBook Pro out in the field. Very disappointing.
The only links I've been able to find on Google that mention canola oil and macular degeneration say canola oil helps slow or prevent macular degeneration.
The difference between self-hosting most things, and Twitter and Reddit (and Facebook and Slack and Discord) is the network effect. If I wanted to self-host my pictures that I share with friends, I can still just send them the URL. They might be annoyed that they're not on Instagram and have to use a web browser instead, but the people that want to see how my long weekend went will go see the pictures. To self-host something like Reddit, I need to convince other people to change their habits and their choice of platform. As not-a-million-dollar-corporation, my ability to have a polished UX is rather more limited, so I can see why someone would go back Twitter and Reddit.
> Hardware companies simply don't pay as much as software companies in industry. I don't fully understand the reasons, because hardware is often more difficult to deal with than software.

My theory is it comes down to the margins on software vs hardware products. If you look at software, in a certain sense, your unit margins are infinite - your variable costs are nothing(well, besides the literal bandwidth) to copy a piece of code and sell it to a second customer.
With hardware, for every unit of your product, you have raw material cost, mfg, transport, etc. At scale, there's less $ to go around.
So you're a "the free market will take care of all the things!" thinker, then?

EDIT: I wasn't the one who posted the "Living in a society requires structure" comment.
You're citing individual pixels on a low resolution screen and saying it's not possible the image on screen is {thing} because pixels x, y, z are wrong.

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-34321-6

Even in cases where our temporal resolution is bad (how many data points? Certainly not in the thousands), you can still extrapolate a slope.

> We certainly don't have the ability to predict them decades in advance.

That's an interesting opinion.
I picked PostgreSQL over MySQL for a project I did in 2005.
I picked it since the project would benefit from many advantages which PostgreSQL already had over MySQL, and it would not particularly benefit from MySQL’s only often-touted advantage, speed. This turned out to be the correct choice, and this has not changed since.
Does it though? If it’s a proxy it can support the SQLite read and the Postgres write syntax. If reads only ever go to SQLite they don’t need to work on Postgres.
Colorful imagery aside, this kind of response is a "new low" unfortunately.
It's a continuous value, that is visibly different from zero almost immediately; children will experience it in a few contexts.
An alternative is to use Electron and ship your app with your own chromium.
I got a similar mail when I applied to Canonical.

My mail contained 43 separate questions.

43. I am not joking, I just went and counted them. Each of which probably wanted a sentence to paragraph answer. Some could be more.

As Blaise Pascal said: If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/04/28/shorter-letter/

Write a shorter letter Canonical. You told me so much about you in one step. You can't write a short letter, or you don't care.
His intent is clear and this has destroyed fundamental trust in the project. I will be spending the next few weekends removing Moq from every project in my repos and, regardless of what happens from this point forward, I will never use it again.

I hope this results in a fine from the EU for violating the GDPR - this kind of sneaky action needs to be slapped down very, very hard.
It's not spying. Spying implies being observed without consent, and that the adversary is gaining information to use against you. The average person who is using Windows and likely the only ones to see this do not fall under this.

People were unwilling to volunteer the data exactly because of this fear-mongering. Ya'll act like Intel is sitting in a back room watching flowing logcats of your activity and cherry-picking ones to target you personally, as if some of ya'll are that important lmao :p
Except oversized engines weigh more, which can pose different problems - especially if you're taking on water. You might find yourself jettisoning the engine altogether just to stay afloat.
Show HN: Building a CancelBot
Last night I streamed myself for 3 hours building a "CancelBot" where I scrape youtube videos, parse their transcripts and find "toxic" comments they said. Mostly a joke and a play on cancel culture. Probably one of the more fun streams I've done this past month. Let me know what you think.

Here's a link to the code: github.com/jawerty/cancel-bot
We need a standardized WAL format. Too many people trying to write software to simulate it.
Pay cuts are for suckers too.
> it's never been my experience but it's a thing

Yes it is a thing. It starts when you get promoted to a more senior role. The thing is, nothing much changed inside or outside, so many people feel they need to make a point. They start to dress differently, behave differently, introduce distance - to make sure others understand who is in the "superior" position.

I noticed thin in insecure types or those who need some confirmation of their value. But there are many people who are exact opposites, especially in the younger generation. They understand that being a manager doesn't mean giving orders but supporting your team in their work. It's so much easier for everybody.
It's easy but it would be good to have a simple "How to". We'll add soon
What's in a name? An earlier association could be The Pirates of Penzance.
To be fair, even locals aren't accepted at many surf spots if they aren't regulars. That's true on the mainland as well.
> I can understand a hiring process like this if we're talking about fighter pilots, astronauts, special forces operators, scientists going to antarctica, or whatever. But software engineering? C'mon. Delusions of grandeur.

Well.. have you met their CEO?

The truth is once companies have a certain size and revenue, their software developers don't matter really that much. Yes it can be hell to work there, everyone is overworked, things are low quality, etc. As long as the checks keep coming in ( and they will ) there is really no critical problem to be addressed.

Now the funny part: once the alarm bells go off and they try to change course... not happens, the "ship" is unresponsive and in most cases it will sink. But depending on the size of the company that will take years and maybe even decades.

So the best skill everyone needs to have (I wish really technical introverted software developers had this more ) is: Develop "street smarts" and tell these people to go fuck themselves and shove their "hiring process" up their asses.
