Dude, seriously. I have been a developer since 2014 but I always stayed away from Postgres because it did not seem cool to me. Recently I started a company which provides Postgres deployments(ironically, just to seem cool) and that's when I unearthed a ton of incredibly powerful features in Postgres. I even wrote a small script that auto inserts user_id from users table into messages table whenever a new message is inserted into the db using Postgres triggers. I mean how cool is that.

Check it out here: https://gist.github.com/kaushik94/5257f0ff5520598e6327d14805...

Everyday I am finding more and more amazing stuff about Postgres and I'm literally obsessed.

Researchers engineer bacteria that can detect tumor DNA
10% isn't all that expensive in the early stage, especially for a high growth software business where it will be diluted off very quickly in subsequent rounds. If we're talking hardware or research, where a significant amount of time and effort (and possibly money too) has been expended, then yeah, 10% won't make much sense (it still might, based on the exact space your product is in). I think YC themselves say that the best time to apply to it is just after the initial validation (which doesn't work for hardware or research).
They digest.
this will never change unless those affected work actively to change society to benefit them

for example work towards replacing sports programming on TV by science and engineering programming
It feels that way to the nerds! But in fact most of the jocks are nearly as smart as the nerds, they just also play sports.

"Life Coaching" is another service that's trying to fill this hole. It's completely unregulated, it attracts shysters, scam artists, and lots of unsavory MLM looking businesses.
If it means something, I've occasionally seen orders from AliExpress (where you'd expect the goods to be 99% Chinese-made) where the customs declarations/shipping label lists an even lower GDP country as the nominal return address. I wonder if they literally route around the higher CN -> US shipping by doing, say China -> Tajikstan -> US?

I'm finding the shipping times are less terrible than they used to be-- often 2-3 weeks, with surprisingly good tracking. (The big black hole seems to be when the package arrives in Compton, and then usually spends a few days before being handed over to the USPS; I imagine they crack open a shipping container and re-wrap everyone's purchases for the last 1000km through a domestic carrier.

It's interesting that nobody's ever proposed a big fat USPS subsidy for domestic mail as a way to make American business more competitive. There are plenty of items (anything in the "small, unbranded, low-performance-needed hardware/accessories/toys" category) where the options are often "$2 + free shipping from Shenzhen in 2-3 weeks" or "$2 + $4.50 shipping in 3-4 days for a comparable item sold by a guy in Tacoma". I might be willing to pay $1 more for the convenience of having it sooner, but much more than that and I'll just compensate for slow delivery times by always having a project or two in the pipeline.
I’m a life coach, you’re a life coach: the rise of an unregulated industry
That's a bit out there, but Google has mentioned in several different ways that pages and sites have thousands of derived features and attributes they feed into their various ML pipelines.

I assume Google is turning all the site's pages, js, inbound/outbound links, traffic patterns, etc...into large numbers of sometimes obscure datapoints like "does it have a favicon", "is it a unique favicon?", "do people scroll past the initial viewport?", "does it have this known uncommon attribute?".

Maybe those aren't the right guesses, but if a page has thousands of derived features and attributes, maybe they are on the list.

So, some SEO's take the idea that they can identify sites that Google clearly showers with traffic, and try to recreate as close a list of those features/attributes as they can for the site they are being paid to boost.

I agree it's an odd approach, but I also can't prove it's wrong.
They’re the latter as far as paid Linux goes.

Kernel contributions are only one metric / piece of a distro, and these days a lot of the code churn is hardware if I’m not mistaken. It makes sense that Red Hat has slipped because the big changes are in new support for hardware.
Sure! IANAL, just a dev, but my understanding from seeing this play out over the last 20 years is the following broken down first by public vs. private benefit:

501(c)(3): Organizations under this classification must primarily serve a public interest and not a private interest. Any private benefit must be insubstantial.

501(c)(6): These organizations are designed to serve the private interests of their members, as long as those interests align with the broader industry or line of business.

Everything else follows from this distinction IMHO. You see it play out in the Linux or Rust foundation, in contrast to the Python or Zig software foundation. It's easier to get attention and members with a trade organization, but over time, over the long term, there's a stark difference that I believe is not disputed.

Clearly a sarcastic question, but as solar panels become vastly cheaper, the battery storage requirements to effectively guarantee power on demand become much less onerous. The kWh of backup required for a solar PV system sized to maximum demand is much more than (e.g.) a PV system sized to 2x maximum demand.

Or, to put it in softer terms, as people become more isolated, common mental ups and downs can become more serious problems requiring medical intervention.

It’s interesting to go back to TV shows and movies from even the 1980s and 1990s and see how much bigger people’s social networks were. Like people would have regularly scheduled bridge nights with neighbors and shit like that.
For a while it wasn't, but since smartphones computers are not used by most kids anymore, to the point employers have trouble hiring people with even basic computer skills.
The braille in the picture at the top is sideways.

Someone was talking about placement of Braille on signs- there is a standard, but I find the Braille is wrong about 30% of the time.
If your therapist is helping you "align with your subconscious", you should probably keep looking. But, hey, whatever gets you through.
>Some prompt engineering, JS, Python, etc can accomplish a lot.

The problem is you can’t just deploy this and forget it without regular security updates (with the likelihood of breakage in compatibility - python libs are particularly bad with this)

That said, the original radio based system is probably extremely easy to mess with if you have a basic SDR. It’s just that no one bothered so far.
Not for coffee, but for medicines yes.
You have to acknowledge that all these OSS projects officially backed by a corporation don't want you to contribute certain features that are part of their enterprise offering. As soon as there's an "enterprise" tier, contributions are not only based on their merit, but also evaluated as a threat to their business model.

Sometimes it's not even obvious for external contributors, but there may be some small overlap with other paid features that are part of their product roadmap.

If a project on Github only has maintainers from the corporate side, you can be certain that they will ultimately drive the product for their own interest solely.

We should always pay close attention to the governance model of projects we depend on or that we wish to contribute to.
I think doctors should be paid enough so they don't need to worry about making ends meet. I don't want the guy operating me to worry where he'll sleep because the landlord kicked them out.

Same thing for delivery drivers, though. I want the delivery driver to make enough money so he'll actually drive up to my house and drop off the package, and not be distracted by money troubles while he drives past my kids biking on the street.

Every person deserves a livable wage, and there's no reason that people who start working earlier should struggle all their life to make ends meet, just so the better educated people get cheap deliveries.
> I do believe getting real-world backend experience greatly increases your value

This would imply they don't or they don't value it nearly as much
Logpoints! They're like breakpoints, but they don't stop execution. And they don't require whatever you're writing C for to have any sort of console output. Of course you do need to have a debug port enabled, which often isn't the case for production hardware so you get stuck printf debugging by blinking an LED and probing it with a logic analyzer. Royal PITA.
Cracks in Ancient Martian Mud Surprise NASA's Curiosity Rover Team
The reason historically it hasn’t been a level playing field is because Amazon have:

- The ability to invent new infrastructure to suit a need. For example, multi legged ENIs that provide the EKS control plane are simply not available to others,

- The ability to integrate with IAM natively,

- The ability to build common network architectures without outrageous costs (traffic over peering links being a good example since that is what basically all vendors have to do).
Awesome. Cruise is now driving in the Tenderloin. Think about that.

Cruise will do what city reimagineering and no humans will ever do: achieve Vision Zero.

There will soon be no moral argument for humans to operate vehicles in SF.
The Claremont Institute is a conservative think tank based in Upland, California.

Elasticsearch is based off lucene so they are making money off another open source project.
I believe it's a bit too early to make this call but based on the experience of interacting with Terraform the binary it would be absolutely amazing for the community if Terraform could be turned into a library that can become a building block for higher level services.
I will just show you how big of a mess it is to setup pgAudit on production deployments. TLDR: You can get it soon with Rocketgraph.io.

But I am very obsessed with building loggers using Postgres. There are some sneak peaks of my work on Twitter you can find in the above comment. But it's a lot of work to just setup pgAudit on AWS RDS. Like literally takes days. Basically you have to enable pgAudit, for that you need to edit the DBParameterGroup. Then enable cloudwatchlogs and query from cloudwatch console what logs you want to see. It's a mess. But here is a sneak peek of what's cooking at rocketgraph: https://twitter.com/RGraphql/status/1689631592321544192

It's so beautiful that I'm gonna name it "the sexy release".
> Art, at least how I understand it, is about sharing emotions and experiences. We know artists (as opposed to programmers) because we are curious about the person that put a part of themselves into the thing that evoked some emotion in us or gave us an interesting experience.

What is art? That’s a rhetorical question, because this is a highly debated topic and the answers have changed over time. There was a thousand years where art could not be separated from religious expression. There was a period where only technical mastery was considered important and the artist relatively unimportant. It varies by culture, time period, and even down to the individual.

And once you can agree on something that should be art; there will be disagreements as to whether a particular example is worthy of the title. Is Nick Cave’s “Into my Arms” art? Is the Spice Girls “Wannabe”?

Many years ago at the start of my career I was an engineer of the traditional variety working for a Smart Metering company. There was one analog electrical engineer there who I would best describe as a “mad genius”. His designs were constrained to solve a very boring practical problem, yes, but they were also creative, beautiful, and I would argue, art. Yes you need a degree in electrical engineering to appreciate them, but I guarantee that any such engineer would not fail to be moved by the beauty and elegance of his designs.

> I don't care much who wrote the code I'm running or if it was AI generated. There's nothing human being shared there, it solves a problem, and all that really matters is that it solves the problem well.

Much like with my example of the Smart Meter, the tradesmen installing it could care less about the beauty within. However I do appreciate beautiful elegant code, rare as it is. But name for me any human creative endeavour that is not 99% meaningless, repetitive, soulless drivel?
>One prefers locking and complicated instructions, the other is designed with open and simplicity.

It seems you're confusing ARM and RISC-V here.

ARM isn't simple, nor open.

Asphalt shingles are usually quite resistant to fire. IIRC, wildfires most often enter a structure through a window.
I always feel hotter with the low humidity. It's stickier and possibly more uncomfortable if you aren't used to it with high humidity. But even low 90s with very low humidity feels like inside an oven to me. I was working outside all day yesterday and it was about 95 with with 60-70% humidity and it felt great with a slight breeze.
I got in trouble for playing this in class from a teacher in her early thirties who I had a crush on. The red hot chili peppers had just released Californication. The matrix was all the rage and felt threatening to my young Christian sensibilities
HashiCorp's CLA page from two months ago (https://web.archive.org/web/20230610041432/https://www.hashi...):

"We require our external contributors to sign a Contributor License Agreement ("CLA") in order to ensure that our projects remain licensed under Free and Open Source licenses such as MPL2 while allowing HashiCorp to build a sustainable business.

HashiCorp is committed to having a true Free and Open Source Software ("FOSS") license for our non-commercial software. A CLA enables HashiCorp to safely commercialize our products while keeping a standard FOSS license with all the rights that license grants to users: the ability to use the project in their own projects or businesses, to republish modified source, or to completely fork the project."

It's disappointing that the non-legal text on the page repeatedly suggested that signing a CLA would help keep HashiCorp projects open source when the actual text of the license agreement made no such claims.
If you use Google Docs daily and even bother to look at the menus, the amount of changes added just the past 2 years is pretty massive. The reason they're in menus is because the dumbest thing Google can do is kill the native user experience.

Just look at how slow Notion is and how snappy Docs is. Yet, a lot of Notion features are now in Google Docs.
>running your code on a machine that isn't accessible to the general public.

But this is the future. Most people are too lonely. People are forced to value jobs and careers more than relationships.

4 years ago, no one would have predicted the success of only fans, a porn influencing site. But here we are, people are working too hard at work to make money and then throwing it away at rent and to pay for imaginary sex. Next step, get them to pay for the emotional relationship.

I don't like the future.
Several fairly prominent psychologists have spent the past couple decades trying to figure out the answer to this question, but as far as I've read there is nothing close to a proven method or validated theory yet.
The 33B model is llama V1. Facebook reportedly held back 34B llama v2 because it failed some safety metrics.

So... Generally the quality is worse, but the available set of finetunes is totally different. Some llama v1 33b finetunes are not available in 70B, and extremely good at their niche.

Also 70B should get more than 1 token/sec on a single 3090 offloaded to CPU. I dunno what framework op is using.
> ... downgrade in terms of cookware compatibility.

Induction plate adapters exist [1] - I haven't used one specifically for that purpose, but have used a diffuser plate which works on a similar principle.

The adapters are around AUD $20-50 which sounds like a cheap way to to start migrating your cookware collection to ferro bases.

I gather they're not great -- somewhat inefficient, and will necessarily have a more torpid response to temperature changes on the induction cooktop, shouldn't be used at high-temperatures -- but they do mean you don't have to replace all your cookware instantly.

If someone needs high temp and doesn't have a suitable pan already, cast iron is ridiculously cheap.

Sorry, I should have said JSONB. Do you still consider a table with a single JSONB column SQL or NoSQL? Sure, it may be contained within a RDBMS but you are treating it more like a document store than a relationship database.
> They are suing about the "exploitation" of the cell line without consent

You asked for our opinion. I will instead offer contrasting examples: James Harrison donated blood every week for 60 years, helping save the lives of about 2.4 million babies, thanks to possessing rare antibodies: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/11/health/james-harrison-blo...

Unlike the "exploitation" of the HeLa cells, that caused not the slightest inconvenience to Henrietta Lacks, he had to visit a transfusion center for each donation.

Barry Marshall deliberately infected himself with a bacteria to prove it caused peptic ulcers, risking his health, which led to their treatment with antibiotics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Marshall

Some will selflessly sacrifice their time, and risk their health, for the common good. Others won't give even a handful of cells, at no cost to themselves, without claiming victimhood and demanding compensation.
> suggesting that they must endure the indignities of powerlessness to remain attached to the peer group

Beside other things, already said here, I'd like to add that the ability to disregard your peer group and consciously detach from it is pretty useful in further life, even though attaining this ability is painful, especially as a kid.

(Disclaimer: I was both highly popular and pretty unpopular in middle school, at different schools.)

Git-appraise – Distributed Code Review for Git
I think the limiting factor is that there's no way to split the single JSON document out into all its paths and values in a way that SQLite can index it. There's `json_each` and `json_tree` but there's no way to generate a (dynamic) table using these functions that you could then index, as far as I know.

I believe this could probably be done using a trigger on document insert, but that would involve actually inserting each path and value into it's own table, rather than SQLite generating it on the fly, so it would likely more than double the storage requirement and require inserting potentially hundreds of rows for each document, depending on what your original document structure looks like.
Elsewhere, mostly centered around Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Thankfully the comms have been more level-headed around these parts.
I’m sorry, but no. These are usually simple bugs like “forgot to a set a field during refresh”. They almost always correspond to one or more Terraform issues too, often ones that have been open for 4-5 years or have been “marked as stale” by some infuriating bot.

According to the EPA: "Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula."

The applicability of this advice is probably quite variable.

Automatically keeping packages up-to-date used to be good advice, but now the ROI for exploiting automatically-updated libraries is high enough that I don't think it's true anymore.

This is more true once you factor in the non-security-related problems with not pinning your dependencies (e.g. when the Cryptography library in PyPI decided to introduce a Rust dependency and broke many people's builds as a result)

I've settled for the middle ground of

- pinning all dependencies

- using something like Snyk to monitor for vulnerabilities in dependencies.

- manually updating dependencies that are known to be vulnerable
I choose to put my effort towards improving those values, rather than new ways to cope with worse ones.

How long until they ban VPN, perhaps using the same justification? We have the unfortunate habit of working around political and social problems with technical solutions. But there's a limit to how far such solutions can stretch.
This sounds like blaming video games for gun violence (especially since, at least in the summary, no such conclusion or link to television are mentioned).

"Replacing" one with the other presents a false dichotomy. There's nothing wrong with enjoying sports, either as an activity to participate in or to watch.
