so, you're trying to tell me that such reasoning about "dog shit" applies to the ignorance of humanity in general? The reality is the very few people actually understood what they were talking about and a lot of people went around operating on what they didn't really know. So while you call me an asshole for correcting a number of incorrect people in this thread who are themselves rather overconfident, I have to again insist that because I am correcting them or destroying their delusions does not make me hostile and there's a very good chance that you're projecting that impression. The definition of hostility includes the intent to do harm or to be unfriendly, which is in fact what the people I am replying to are doing by spreading misinformation, as if they know. If that's too difficult for you to accept, then best that you do not reply to me, because it would be a waste in both of our time.

It's great to see this, but it's not going to make me want to go back to Java from Go. In Go, everything is built with this sort of concurrency from the ground up. This makes everything fit together very nicely without the cognitive overhead and dissonance you have to work through with the Java libraries of various vintages and approaches.
> That never made sense to me because you still have to have some smart, curious, creative people somewhere to keep things moving. Our society is quite dependent on the people who silently keep things running in the background.

Regarding Idiocracy, once of the background conceits of the film is those kinds of people set up automation to keep things going before they died out (for the reasons clearly explained at the start of the movie). If you pay attention everything in that world is automated: a diagnostic machine with a playskool interface (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmUVo0xVAqE) is what's actually doing the doctor's job, a major company is run by a computer the CEO doesn't understand (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBFREFtFEgs), etc.

Github is just too annoying for use for personal projects now. This is the last straw for me. I already moved my projects to FTP.
I feel like this would be easy to test, at some cost. Buy N SSDs from X manufacturers. Fill the entire disk with random bits (/dev/urandom), read it back and compute a hash. Wait A, B, C, and D durations. After each duration, read the drives again and compare the hash.
That's simple enough. Look at StackOverflow's survey (or any other) over 50% of professional devs have less than 10 years of experience.

That's 2013 or the year React came out and a full 5 years after the launch of Chrome/v8 started the next round of the framework wars.

On the frontend, things are even worse. Salaries started to skyrocket 7-8 years ago and the number of people suddenly interested has skyrocket every year for the past 5-6 years.
Awesome, I've been using the wESP (https://wesp32.com/) for most things but I like the size (and price point) of these.

Show HN: Correctify – A tool for proofeading restaurant menus and documents
After noticing the struggle that many hospitality professionals go through when proofreading menus we decided to build Correctify. Hotels and restaurants have many employees manually checking every word, a process that takes hours.

Correctify is easy as a cake to use and is optimized to understand and correct culinary terminology and brands. Also, we couldn't find adequate alternatives for proofreading pdf documents in general therefore we would like to expand to many more use cases such as reports, presentations, essays, ebooks etc.
Translate did not suck in 2006, it was a big leap over the competitors at the time. It was really the first time a company had launched productized statistical machine translation at all. Before that there was the Altavista Babelfish which was rules based.

Going neural definitely made a big difference but Translate was called "statml" by the infrastructure internally for years, maybe still is, because just using statistics and having training at all was a big deal back then.
How much of SpiderMonkey (JS engine) is Rust? AFAIK, besides the bindings, it is still mostly C++ and my guess is that it would be difficult to get the core parts in Rust without a full rewrite.

> we're in an season of backend development that favors separation (vs bundling) of concerns

I work in a small team (5 developers), on multiple projects that span from 3 months to 1 year of work. While I like some of Go qualities (like speed, types, low memory, easy deployment,...) it would be hard for me to introduce Go to the team. The thing is that with Django (or Laravel, or Rails, or any "opiniated" framework) I can point the team to a nice single documentation website and associated framework that covers probably 90 to 95% of our needs and gets us right into the business logic real fast. There's real value in framework integration for teams like us (and for this very reason, we don't use Flask either, way to much fiddling). Also, the feature set in these solutions, while maybe "out of season", is fine for most of our projects.

At this point, should I want to push Go to the team, I would have integrate libraries myself and document... so basically starting my own version of a "framework". Like you said, it's a sprawling project. But hey... isn't it how Django started ? Maybe one day...

Meanwhile, I'll stick to using Go in my personal projects, until I have a very clear picture of the ecosystem.

Just because (you think) everyone feels persecuted doesn't mean you're doing a good job keeping things level. It's a common joke to make but it's just a joke. Similarly, if both a rampant nazi, and a fierce tankie hate you, that doesn't make you a bastion of democracy. "Fairness" doesn't mean pissing off everyone equally, and that is neither a necessary or sufficient condition.

It is a good outcome that we have for the web: good standards and a reference implementation in the form of WebKit/Blink.

This is a boon for web developers: follow the standards, but if there are gaps in the standard, check the behavior on Chrome. If there were multiple mainstream browser implementations with split market share; it would be painful for web developers. Large amounts of time and energy would be wasted on testing the web apps on every possible browser implementation. This is probably why platform technologies such as Operating Systems, browsers, etc. trend towards monopolies or duopolies. A highly fragmented market is not in users, developers, or even platform developers' best interests.

Chrome also has well-resourced competition in the form of Apple and Microsoft. As Chrome adds more user-hostile changes, users will switch away to friendlier browsers, such as Brave, Edge, Safari, etc.

Why do you need a feature store?
I wonder how much of what he was taking added to his distressed state. There's a ton of supplements listed there. I understand wanting to get better as I'm also dealing with long covid symptoms (histamine issues, inflammation, etc.) and understand the extreme internal discordance it can cause - I just want to get back to normal! But it's necessary to be cautious with what you throw at yourself, I've personally experienced several negative reactions (sometimes catching them quite late) from supplements I have experimented with in efforts to get well.
I think the issue you have is real, but perhaps not quite in the way you think? if you have the full game on a console/PC, you can continue to play with your team from the previous year until maybe 3 or 4 years on when they turn off the servers, and all your work is lost forever. that's the thing I have an issue with. I'd love to go back and play with my teams from FIFA 13 or 15, but they're lost to the wind, or at least somewhere within EA's archives, at best

Your issue is an issue with the way they implement the app, which has always been a bit of an afterthought to the main game in general. Still a valid issue and must have been extremely annoying, but I suspect your case might be quite unusual in that you came into it via the app, rather than the main title. however admittedly I'm not as au fait with the FIFA world as I used to be, so that may be more common than I assume

Ask HN: How do you organize business logic with SQL in Supabase?
Hello, I originall asked this question on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/Supabase/comments/15pu5gn/how_do_you_organize_business_logic_with_sql_in/

Re asking it here, to get more answers, thoughts.

---------------------------------------------------

I am Postgres fan just like Supabase and also big fan of Supabase due to their contributions to Postgres ecosystem and their opensource philosophy.

Now to the question, currently we are developing project using Postgraphile which also use PGSQL, SQL to write business logic similar to Supabase postgREST.

But we are having a hard time organizing business logic in SQL ex: large functions with series of mutations and data fetching, organizing code to higher abstractions than functions and etc.

We are aware of general SOLID principles, but it is difficult to implement them in practice with database mutations, Is there any best practices, tips to follow when writing business logic in SQL?

It would be great, to see response from Supabase team on this.
Forgot to note two other interesting facts:

1) The check was addressed to my USPS PO Box -- the kind inside an actual post office. It seems extremely unlikely that a random person could have accessed it; more likely, it was misdelivered to another PO Box customer at the same office.

2) The check appears to have been cashed via Capital One's mobile app -- "for mobile deposit only" is written in the endorsement field, along with the thief's name and signature (but not mine, not even a forged one).

Putting these two together, it seems not unlikely that the thief could have been easily found, if PayPal were not actively obstructing even the most basic steps toward an investigation.
What exactly is wrong with this? Powerpoint could easily be used for fast notes in a form that likely will be used to present to others in a similar fashion, has online storage with Microsoft 365 subscriptions, pre-made themes and privacy tags that you can set, the list goes on. I wouldn't use it personally, but compared to my usual textedit/notepad file open for fast notes or todo lists, the example powerpoint you told on likely is going to persist longer, be easily accessible by persons without my specific interaction (assuming it gets shared out to "someone"), there are a lot of benefits.

I'm not a fan of powerpoint presentations in any form; I find the medium uninteresting and more of a progress meter for the current meeting than anything else, but even that hasn't been reliable for a long time to know how long a presentation will go, but I don't think using powerpoint in one of the many ways it can be used is anything bad; I'd rather that such hypothetical execs have someone put the notes into powerpoint than write it down on a paper notepad. At the end of the day, all I really care about is that I can read the notes if required and I can quickly access the data without having to bug someone after the initial permissions are set.

(all this being said, I cannot express how frustrating Microsoft Office and Google Office are to me; barring powerpoints where I have no choice but to build it in one of these office suites, I usually just write plain text with markdown formatting and only use office suites to apply the necessary formatting, using the markdown as a reference; I would enjoy word/docs a lot more if there was button to "convert markdown to word formatting", and vice versa)
Very cool! Can this be used for React Native as well?

Also, I have a live App Store/Google Play app written in React Native that was developed a few years ago by an outsourced development shop (in India).

I have the full code base up and running locally. Would love to build an LLM that could "read in" the entire code base and help me to fix bugs and add new features.

Any suggestions on how to go about doing something like this?

The other problem is wire size, since the amps go up as volts go down, and the heat generated in the wire is proportional to the amps, not the watts.

So to carry the same power, a lower voltage wire has to be thicker.
Exactly, in technology we constantly talk about disruption and how we all want to develop the next disruptive industry to strike it rich. Each disruption is a paradigm shift, a kind of event horizon that you can only determine the effects of after you pass it.

Now we're watching the potential for one of the bigger disruptions in history and attempting to make predictions with authority. Very few will even be close to correct and those will only be near by the shear probabilistic outcome of so many predictions being made.
Genuine question, what’s that got to do with scientific fraud being proven by the scientific method?

We have a chain of stores here, Alidi and Lidl, that require a US quarter to get a cart. Surprisingly effective, and also funny that walking your cart all the way back to the store is worth the 25 cents, but walking 15 steps to a cart return is too much of a burden.
I used to love Firefox, and I even was part of the organization team that make Asas Dotler's presentation in Argentina. I have pictures with him, an original Firefox bag, and an actual Firefox push. I also put money for the NY times add.

But Google crushed them with the rapid releases. I remember that to realease firefox 3.0 (from 2.0), it took them like 2 years. Crazy slow.

Today is much faster and is really nice, but I don't like the UI, i really prefer the one by chrome, it is much slim.
None of those are frameworks.
Assuming that our lived reality truly is just a simulation, I think it's important to also wonder why we would be being simulated. Not that we could ever hope to know or even comprehend our creator's intentions, but perhaps it's for research?

Could it be possible that they've just rented an RTX 40,090 and are simulating the entirety of our Universe to learn about how their (our?) species developed? Or how certain things would change if variables were altered? Perhaps there is a "multiverse" of infinite selves, but the multiverse is just a all the previous simulations that were tweaked slightly differently and had a different result.

Maybe changing the starting position of 1 atom in the beginning of the Universe has a butterfly effect that would entirely evade our assumptions. If we had the compute, why not simulate every possible reality? Perhaps there is 1 simulation that's occurred where everything was perfect, without anything cruel or unethical! And if we're gonna go as sci-fi as simulation theory, I don't think it's a far assumption that we could build things like fusion reactors or Dyson Spheres. We could learn so much, especially if the agents behaved naturally and had no idea that they themselves were simulated.

I don't actively believe we live in a simulation, but I think actively believing that we don't just doesn't make mathematical sense.
If you don't want to do this yourself, use Python's built-in fractions module. Fractions have a built-in method to compute the best fraction given a maximum denominator:

>>> from fractions import Fraction
>>> x = Fraction("3.213432")
>>> int(x)
3
>>> (x % 1).limit_denominator(9999)
Fraction(375, 1757)

It's sad and interesting. I once sat next to an old man on a bus in Boston (summer 1996) who had the serial number tattoo on his wrist, and since he was about the age of my own dad, asked him about it. He was thankful that I asked, i think something about people are afraid to ask how he is, or similar. he told me he had survived a camp (which one i forget) and had lost his family, and that he realizes it was not Germans in general but the crazy criminals in power, but he was forever wary of anything that reminded him of it. Very kind avuncular conversation.

Situation normal.

Consider the discovery of valproic acid:

"Valproic acid is a carboxylic acid, a clear liquid at room temperature. For many decades, its only use was in laboratories as a "metabolically inert" solvent for organic compounds. In 1962, the French researcher Pierre Eymard serendipitously discovered the anticonvulsant properties of valproic acid while using it as a vehicle for a number of other compounds that were being screened for antiseizure activity. He found it prevented pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in laboratory rats. It was approved as an antiepileptic drug in 1967 in France and has become the most widely prescribed antiepileptic drug worldwide. Valproic acid has also been used for migraine prophylaxis and bipolar disorder."

To this day, nobody knows exactly how it works, apart from the fact that it hits more than a few targets. (And it's a particularly potent inhibitor of the epigenetic modulator histone deacetylase.)

Apart from a subset of very clear-cut cases -- steroid hormones, peptide hormones, and certain aggressive chemotherapeutic drugs -- there's no clear model for most small molecule drugs. Even really mundane ones like metformin and paracetemol are very imperfectly understood.

I know spinning disks are fragile, but I've had more problem with cold storage of SSDs. They just seem to forget information or flip bits when they're not kept powered up. Don't ask me why.

Since I need cold storage, I hope that hard disks continue to be around.
I remember something similar ie an acquaintance of mine who was ´introduced’. He used to aggregate orders and forward them to his main provider, who eventually got busted, at which point my acquaintance stopped.

I remember thinking that this was very clearly not the regular disk swapping between kids, but a much more organised, for profit, enterprise.
