> > There is two axes

> I’m sorry but this is just wrong, the issues are not that simple.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what I wrote. I am very clearly acknowledging the complexity of political philosophy, which is why there are two axes, not a single line. There is not just Left/Right, but the Authoritarian/Libertarian axis. Political philosophies can be identified as a coordinate on a two-dimensional plane in relation to one another. https://www.politicalcompass.org/ is one attempt to do so (however not necessarily conclusively correct).

> > Collectivism and Individualism

> No that is not the only way all major issues are divided.

All political philosophies fundamentally reduce to whether they derive primacy for the individual or for society. Of course, all strike some balance between the two, and there are significant nuances, but if you do not recognize this, I would argue you do not have the necessary base knowledge of political philosophy to engage in this conversation, certainly not to assert that I am incorrect.

I think humanism is sorely missing in tech these days. I am not a fan of Apple's products, but I think that what is missing in design these days is humans at the center, which is what Apple used to do.

There's a story that Steve Jobs wanted to limit the size of the first iPhone so that you could reach any part of the screen with your thumb, holding the phone in one hand. Today, I am typing this with two hands on my phone.

It feels like in those days (the mid 2000s to mid 2010s) technology was built to serve human needs. It now feels like humans re-orient our desires around what technology now has to offer. Flat UI is the perfect example of this: I have seen studies that show that flattening UI makes it harder for users to find their way around a page. "Next" buttons are less obvious and the user wanders with their mouse, or clicks the wrong item.

Compare this with the skeumorphic design of mid 2000s Apple, where buttons were meant to approximate real life 3 dimensional things, with their glossy design adding depth to the screen. Many look at this design and flinch at the kitsch as a reflex, but I think it's emblematic of how technology used to try to fit itself into our world, rather us trying to fit ourselves into tech
> small and fast compiler

Go's compiler is famously fast, isn't it? I don't know about small, but that only seems relevant if you're working on the compiler itself.

> "4 ways to manage memory"

People complain about D having 2 ways to manage memory, so isn't this twice as bad?
Rising standards create floors and ceilings.

To use the GP's example: if the median standard home has electricity, a minimum insulation R-value, a minimum grade of roof, minimum square footage, bathroom plumbing, land setbacks, etc, governments tend to align their habitability inspection requirements with those standards.

Let's say hypothetically that County X establishes the 2023 habitability requirements, and these requirements by market necessity cost a minimum of $120k for the dwelling and $120k for the land.

Let's say you're a single guy on minimum wage who is absolutely fine not having electricity, is ok with dealing with the occasional roof leak, and has no problem using a composting toilet. You want to buy a home, and you can absolutely afford it, but County X is preventing you from doing so because the standards have been set by people making more than minimum wage.
But if it's not a security, is it fraud?

If I sell you a hand drawn stick figure for $100, and you buy it because it's "art", then there's no rug to pull. You bought it, and it doesn't matter to the artist whether the resale value goes up or down. If it goes down, it's still not fraud.

But if I sell you a hand drawn stick figure for $100, and you buy it with the mutual expectation that it will eventually be worth more because of the value of the brand/project, and the effort I put in to grow that value... isn't that a security, by definition?
As someone that has never used a clock for alarms, it sadly doesn't help with procrastination at all. And where I live, sunrise/sunset varies heavily throughout the year. Such that it is easy to mess up your natural timing and inclinations in the months where you are effectively losing an hour of daylight.
It is very safe, but that doesn’t mean the risk is zero. The fact that stories like that have become major news stories kind of illustrates how unusual it is these days.
I look forward to reading some of this. SF is pretty much always about the current day.

Soviet SF was quite illuminating to me (back when anybody cared about the USSR). I’ve always wanted to read a couple of the Soviet equivalent of the James Bond novels.
Driving drunk is against the law, just like testing FSD on public roadspace should be.
Many of the places at the forefront of this threat also have water scarcity issues. There's also the problem of what to do with the water once it's heated up. You could pump it back into the ground to cool off, but eventually you're going to heat the ground itself and have an even worse problem.
An IP address was always designed to identify a computer. That’s the point of an address. The part that made them (approximately) personally identifiable is the invention of personal computers.
May be worth analyzing that dirt to determine where it came from. I'm reminded of sports fans who will collect dirt from the field (or melted ice for hockey) as a memento of a game.

Or research the library in case someone wrote about the time capsule.
I think it is about "it".

Barbie is a light and fun movie, and a shorter movie than Oppenheimer. I have a PhD in physics, I have been to the Trinity site, I've been exposed to the story of the atom bomb over and over again, there is nothing new about it for me. So I went to see Barbie and didn't see Oppenheimer.

That said, the "overnight success" without marketing is a matter of being lucky, you really do want to make your own luck with marketing.

Ah but that's a very different thing.

You're treating tech as a hobby and engaging with it accordingly.

This piece literally started with:

> My software developer colleagues often ask me where I do get all the time for reading all the tech books or articles, watching conference talks and listening to podcasts.

Immediately we, the reader, know this isn't about having fun in your spare time or learning and building purely for pleasure.

It's all about achieving, about being that person that other people look to and think "wow, where do they find the time to be so productive??"

If it were as you say, I'd have no issues with the piece at all.
That's a really informative post, the ClickHouse thing sounds interesting!
> Can we just agree on "PHP used to suck but it was very easy to work with, reason why it got traction. Things got better over the years and those that only saw the early years, rightfully only remember how much it sucked, while those that use modern versions see how much it has changed"?

This comment is super interesting to me, not because it contains anything I haven't heard before, but because the phrasing managed to break through my "bubble" of being the type of PHP naysayer you're talking about by making me realize just how similar this trend is to some other tech products that I'm not nearly as down on (I use btrfs on my personal machines, and I worked for several years at MongoDB, both of which seem to suffer from similar views of "fool me once and I'll refuse to ever give you another chance, no matter how much changes"). I still probably won't end up using PHP myself, given that I don't really do much web development anymore, but you've at least gotten one person to reconsider their opinion on PHP, so thank you for that!
Well the people I generally meet would talk about porn at the dinner table when we go out and many of them publish on OnlyFans too lol :P I also often repair sex toys for my friends.

But I wouldn't imagine this to be a popular topic when meeting up with the in-laws that's all.
I think it's just a jobs program. Many fields are being made redundant these days and STEM seems to be growing more and more. Public school officials have only one tool at their disposal to fix social problems: teaching. So they decide to fix the problem of jobs vanishing due to automation by trying to push every student toward the same path
Good luck, you can do it. One piece of advice I'd offer that I read somewhere recently and liked is: at your stage, I would avoid "linking to your GitHub."

Instead, if you want to show your coding prowess, pick one or two repositories and link to those on your resume.

However, you'll want to be careful with this, especially never having written code professionally before.

I certainly didn't know what "professional" code _really_ looked like until I started getting reviews from folks much my senior and learned from them.
Minor edit in the title...should be losing (rather than looking)

Ask HN: How can I get Google Maps to stop routing people to the wrong address?
As a quirk of street layouts and house numbering, the house I live in has the same street name and number as another house about 20 minutes away in a different town. Ie both addresses start “123 Foo Street,” but then have two different cities and zip codes.

Google Maps does not understand this. If you enter any part of my address, even the entire address including city and zip code, it still routes to the other city.

This causes an astonishing number of problems. Visitors getting lost is the least of it: Apple Maps works fine, and if people don’t have Apple we just tell them another close by address that works correctly.

But whenever we get deliveries, technicians, etc. it doesn’t work. I can’t get an Uber. Our school district had a bunch of problems because some stupid computer of theirs uses Google to geolocate us and considers us out of district: it took dozens of calls and complaints to get our kids enrolled in the school walking distance from the house.

I have tried suggesting an edit to both addresses, but that doesn’t work. The full address is correct for both locations, the problem is something to do with Google’s autocomplete ranking, I guess it ranks the other city first and “corrects” anything you enter, including the full city and zip code.

Anyone know any way to fix this kind of thing?

Not an engineer but I would recommend finding something that connects your past experience to programming. Always nice to frame it as -- programming let me this thing nobody else could, because of domain expertise.
Making indexes smaller is nice even when you have a ton of storage, as then more can fit into the hot set. However as someone who runs TB of databases, "just provision more storage" is always a valid option. Especially if you are outside the cloud. If you have your own hardware, new enterprise NVMe SSDs are about $80/TB, and DDR4 RAM is around $1.20/GB. Four hours of engineering time (very roughly $1000) buys either 800 GB of RAM or 12 TB of storage.

Lately, paper straws now comes in a plastic wrapper. :-/

A bit unhinged, but whatevs:

THEY REQUIRE A POWER GRID TO EXIST: no they don't, solar panel if this is that important to you.

THEY REQUIRE A BATTERY RELIANT ON A GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN: Tesla absolutely manufactures batteries in the USA, and virtually every major economy now recognizes national battery manufacturing ability is a national security issue. Lithium sources exist domestically. Sodium ion chemistries as good as LFP used in the current gen of ebikes is in mass production. Sulfur chemistries will probably come in 5 years.

THEY DO NOT PROVIDE A MECHANISM FOR LONG HAUL CHARGING: Uhhhhh.... okay, there are people that have made "charging trailers" for ebikes and don't even need to pedal. If this very fringe requirement is necessary, do that. You can't even bike into the Yukon wilderness FYI, where ... all of civilization is lacking.

THEY CANNOT BE SUBMERGED IN WATER: ok, neither can cars, etc. Yes, don't throw your vehicles in water.

THEY HAVE A FLIMSY 'SEAL' TO COVER THE POWER PORT - if that breaks off (twig, brick, tree or foot) - your F'd SEE: SUBMERSION. :: semilegitimate long term parts replacement concern I guess, but ... probably DIY'able.

THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS ARE FAR MORE COMPLEX: Bikes have frames, handlebars, seats, brakes, cranks, chains, derailleurs, cogsets, wheels, hubs, rims, spokes, and all are very frequently sourced from companies all over the world. Adding "motor, battery" to that isn't some tipping point of complexity. Compared to an ICE ... anything (lawnmower, etc), ebikes are very simple.

THE MOTORS ARE FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE - AND QUESTIONABLE MFRs: Yeah.... there is a bit of concern about disposable electronics here. But if enough of one brand is made, then the junkyard strategy of finding a crashed/broken second model and cannibalizing works here. Also, most electric motors aren't perfectly manufactured to application, they are of a more general spec (one of the advantages of electric drivetrains). So if you want to swap out the motor... probably can.

DEALER RELATIONSHIPS SUCK: it's a wildly evolving marketplace with a potential customer base in the billions.

"Where the heck am I to get a battery for an ebick thats custom molded to my stem in my 100 year old bike?" --> likely you'll slap in a battery that is about 1/3 the size and 3x the range. If you want to, you'll figure it out. Current batteries are pretty standardized in form factor and spec, even in the EV space (1865, 2170,4680)

....

EVs are fundamentally simple: battery, motor. I think there will be an explosion of people that get back to knowing how to do basic repair and adaptation on electric motors as part of the EV revolution.

I really like the idea of a front or rear motor wheel that you slapped into a regular bike, but in-frame motors are probably cheaper to put in / design in the beginning and more plug and play for consumers.

One of the beauties of ebikes is that if the battery fails ... you just bike without power to get home. The cost for these will rapidly plummet in the coming years to probably $500 or so. Tire flats are a bigger concern than anything.
Yep nope. Play crazy games win crazy prizes. Every one of these cases is the church’s fault to begin with for encouraging their followers to believe in superstitious nonsense. Causes psychogenic diseases in your population every time. Keeping a bunch of dead popes on display and other premodern necrophiliac bullshit, what do you expect? Totally irresponsible use of their authority. Thank Christ for the reformation.. at the very least an opportunity to make the same mistakes over again.

Again: if your religion has demons, you might want to check and see if it’s a bit evil actually. And if you hear a catholic try to talk out of the other side of their mouth about how modern and progressive their religion is, don’t forget to nail them to the wall about this one. And the communion of saints. Bunch of gross Pauline bullshit. Actually if you hear a new testament verse and it sounds stupid as hell you can bet it's Paul talking. But hey a roman military/corporate man can win a lot of souls, right?
It's phrased as a joke, no?
I'm surprised to see that you think there is a clear dichotomy between what can only happen at school and at home when it comes to learning.

You'd be even more surprised to learn that learning can happen anywhere, anytime and from anyone in any kind of form.

Helping kids at home with school work as a parent is not only accessible to rich families. You should help your kids when they really need it regardless of your socioeconomic background.

Now if you're talking about personalized/paid tutors outside of school, then yes - it's much more accessible to richer families but there is fundamentally nothing wrong that. What you decide to do with your kids outside of school is your choice.

You're focusing too hard on conflating the actions with the outcomes. A woman using preventative medicine to decrease the chance of a pregnancy is by definition not an abortion.

You're argumentation would also imply that if a man has a nightly emission he is performing abortion because a child could have been created, then listing the biological comparisons between a nightly emission and abortion claiming similarities make them the identical.

This is the sort of ladder-climbing VP behavior you see from someone who is too concerned about avoiding failures that they don't actually do anything productive.

Don't launch any projects in a firm direction because if they fail, it's a failure of commission. Wastes lots of time churning what-if scenarios, blocking things & generating reports no one wants in case he gets asked for them, so he can't be accused of a failure of omission.

It's the 3d chess played by someone who forgets what their actual day job is - getting shit done.
Given there's no way to easily verify that, you could be doxxing someone you want to be targeted.
As a bit of a joke (not to discount your very unpleasant experience) but most departments do not make their most productive and important members department chair! It’s more of a “someone has to do it and it’s your turn” situation.

I’m saying this in part bc sometimes people outside of academia feel like “being department chair” means the person is super prestigious or well respected within the department or outside of it. Generally that’s not actually the case. It’s a bit of a demotion in terms of what academics care about. (Frequently it comes with a raise bc you need to offer a substantial carrot to get people to even take the position.)
You don't need to know the acronyms to understand the article. Use context clues to infer that the author's point is "traditional tools don't solve the problem I am about to present". They even expand the acronyms later in the article.

Besides, most such acronyms for classes of security tools don't actually mean much. They just represent the current flavor of the week in the security arms race.

The most promising work along these lines centers around augmenting LLMs with an external data store ("retrieval-augmented LLM"s). I think this started with Facebook's KNN-LLM ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.00172.pdf ). Legal conflict may force the industry to move towards vector DBs as the predominant method by which facts are "stored" rather than model parameters ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.04430.pdf ) , with the happy side effect of update-ability over time.
I think on re-reading, I'm not strongly disagreeing with you indeed. I think it's just that the article says the positive polarity posts don't map cleanly to Republicans, whereas the negative polarity posts do map cleanly to the Democrats, so how much does it really coincide?

Wow, thanks for this great writeup! I thought this was really useful not just from the point of the "partial index 'find'" that is the focus of the post (but that was a great point and thing to be aware of), but from the general overview of good techniques and things to be aware of in postgres if you're worried about using space inefficiently. Saving this one for reference!

One minor "word to the wise", cause I thought this was a great post but also has the potential to be misused: if you work at a startup or early stage company, it is nearly always the better decision to throw more disk space at a storage problem like this than worry about optimizing for size. Developers are expensive, disk space is cheap.
