I remember buying some random Sega Genesis game that had the same effect on everyone I loaned it to, even a couple years after Playstation came out. Nobody was immune and, even after I showed them the tricks to winning, it only got worse.

Then I saw my baby brother playing the Heroes Playstation 2 port and I realized it's the exact same game, but was called King's Bounty on Genesis.
Why do they need to last a day or two without recharge? Just have charging hubs that swap out the batteries for fresh ones, and now it's an optimization problem
This entirely depends on the database you are using, and if you are using a connection proxy in front of your database.
Romania is a clear outlier in that Eurostat source. I wonder why that is?
The grocer I frequent has bright orange 'manager special' discount stickers that go on things nearing their expiry.
We get lots of European-produced staples (including Kerrygold butter!) in the US. I can't speak for everyone, but I definitely used to think that Barilla was shipping from Italy and that was why it was more expensive than the brands next to it.
That's an interesting narrative to be pushing. Care to back up your claims that this is for mass mind control with evidence/logic/reason/concrete thought, or is the demagoguery the core of your position?
This is an interesting observation. I had a similar observation about tik tok influencer speak, though it’s not the same style as YouTube speak. There is a distinct shared way of speaking I’ve just called the tik tok accent (not talking about the AI voiceover). It’s something I’ve noticed mostly with female influencers, where they talk in a lower, quieter voice, that feels both like they are educating as well as perhaps infantilizing the listener. It’s difficult to describe precisely but definitely a shared phenomenon.
> but apparently this is too socialist for european countries

Whilst I agree with your general point, I have two issues with that last clause.

1) We're arguably not a European country anymore.

2) There are socialist European countries that have excellent provision for active travel and public transport.
This is common in grocery stores in Oslo. It’s a great place to go when you’re ready for some serendipitous dinner planning.
Couldn’t disagree more. I have aphantasia and can’t conjure up a mental image of any sort.
> the next generation will see it as the current see the TV - unimportant old boring low-entropy data which is not entertaining anymore.

Don't you mean high-entropy data? High entropy data would be less orderly, more compressible, and have a lower signal to noise ratio ... like TV shows compared to a textbook.
They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but now it will just require good aim and a recoverable projectile!
Gasoline or kerosene seem to be popular in R&D projects. Read up in the Nitro Stingray or Yeair Hybrid Quad.
Only when I started biking did I realize how much space a bike took vs how much space a car took, how much resources and money was spent for bikes and how much for cars, how much negative externalities bikes cause vs how much cars cause. Many people I know tried to commute by bike but stopped because of how dangerous biking is (due to modern city planning). People like me who are young, single and male are more willing to take risks. So people like me continue to bike and continue to be annoyed by how much resources are given to cars vs bikes. If you want to see a diverse group of bikes, look at the Netherlands. There or is much safer to bike, so you will see more diversity. You'll see bikers who are old and young, male and female (not too many Indians, Chinese, Native Americans, or middle easterns, but that's more for geopolitical reasons).
Not the author, but PostgreSQL has constraint triggers that can run procedures / functions on insert/update/delete, to allow/reject a given row or statement. That would be one way to confirm that a given update from a client is valid, from the POV of the application.

I think the main reason the western front was so static and defensive was the constrained geography. The front was less than 500 miles long, and large numbers of men were poured into that front (by rail, as you point out), so there was no room for maneuver. For context, the US-Mexico border is almost 2000 miles long, and the Eastern Front in WW2 was maybe 1800 miles long.
I think it's more a case of politicians kicking the can down the road. They get to announce a progressive green policy, do absolutely nothing about it and then complain when their successor has to actually deal with it.
Perl called these sigils. They were incredibly useful and powerful, but the dev community decided that they hated them.
OP here, I work for Electric,

Electric is designed to support partial sync, and so you don’t have to sync your whole dataset. (Note that this is feature is under development and not yet public)

There are limitations on how much data a browser will store for an individual site, so the number of rows you can sync will depend on the shape of your dataset. Finally there are also some performance considerations with WASM SQLite, this is something the SQLite team are working on in collaboration with the browser developers, particularly with the development of the new OPFS apis which we plan to support as they mature.

So, thousands of rows are definitely viable, and we have that working with our own internal development tests. Hundreds of thousands or millions may cause issues right now, but are something we do want to support.
There is a conference at No. 10 scheduled at 16.30 BST to announce it, so it's not just a thought.
That's a safeguarding measure that is very specific to certain jobs. Does streaming a YT video put any woman at risk of harassment? Obviously not. Can a film producer be kept away from potential victims, with a bit of effort from the employer? Probably yes.

Working yourself up in a rage is not what one should do when discussing law. Before you know it, you'll be doing things that history will probably condemn you for later on.
I wasn't, I appreciate that!

> Like every other framework, we've come to the realisation that Knockout was right all along.

> Svelte 5's reactivity is powered by signals, which are essentially what Knockout was doing in 2010. More recently, signals have been popularised by Solid and adopted by a multitude of other frameworks.

> We're doing things a bit differently though. In Svelte 5, signals are an under-the-hood implementation detail rather than something you interact with directly.

That's a sad development and further makes the framework more complect (as defined by Rich Hickey), with more hidden layers and "magic".
That's why I exclusively order my food delivery via container ship!
We have an initialisation step as soon as we load the jni lib that takes care of this. Given that this gets done before any other threads are started, I don't think there'd be an issue. Good point :-)
There's secondary supporting legislation needs to go in and a framework from Ofcom yet. Signal indicated they'd leave of those went in.
This was funny :-)
Why do you doubt it? When you talk to someone with aphantasia, one of most people's first questions is something like "sometimes my mental images are pretty fleeting and indistinct, is that what you mean?" and they'll say "no, I don't even understand what 'mental image' means". It's possible they're all lying or very confused but it seems unlikely.

A friend with this condition also told me that growing up, people would often say "picture x in your mind" and he always assumed it was a figure of speech for "think about a description of x" because he couldn't imagine what else "picturing" could mean.
This makes a lot of sense and will simplify some confusions around reactivity.

I'm guessing runes will make it easier for the compiler to track the reactivity which will enable stuff like automatic partial hydration? Maybe even something like qwik?

I only read the blog post and didn't watch the video... was there any mention on perf and size improvements?
> with 2-way data binding and never going back.

We used to know that, too. We also used to know that entirely event-driven architectures were a level of chaos you shouldn’t invite into your enterprise. Don’t need to look hard to see those either.

Whole industry has been cycles of collective amnesia going back to at least 1975.

[Edit] but in this case what we seem to be doing is having another go at Aspect Oriented Programming, which I was interested in for some time but concluded it, like event-only systems, are a poor fit for the average developer’s mental model, and also a terrible way to encode business requirements. Particularly from a testing perspective. They are usually dabbling at functional core, imperative wrapper architectures, but tend to retain global shared state which is a reliability nightmare waiting to happen.

You should ping IMAX. They still use old palm devices for their projection system and the emulator they provide is is not really reliable.
Yeesh, it's sad how effective corporate propaganda is to see efforts to take companies to task for lying to consumers described this way.

I think OpenTofu should embrace the negative connotations. Go crazy, make everything Tofu, that's the goal. It'd be a nice side history for marketing purposes. I doubt anyone would not use the tool because of it and others would get a good chuckle.

TLDR: They use various ways of emphasizing words and adding variety to speech. It's almost exclusively done in videos where it's just a face talking to camera to try to make it attention grabbing.

They use Jon Stewart's Daily Show as a pre- YouTube example of someone using the same techniques for the same reasons.
Thank you for the help! It is quite useful. Another question while I still have you:

On the clientside, is SQLite running in a separate thread? Or is it running on the main thread? Is this the same or different for an electron app vs running in the browser?
Why would I care if ChatGPT disagrees?
The right thing, I can define with code and check for correctness with tests. I guess I mean that if it can be expressed clearly in code, it should.

But I don't completely disagree that they can have their place. They just get used as crutches for unreadable code a lot of time, that's all.
Apache NIFI (https://nifi.apache.org/).

It uses the concept of Flow-based programming. Also its so underacknolged but this tool is very flexible. I have used as an Event Bus all the 3rd-Party Integrations.
One trouble w/ the certifications is they are generally around some specific technology and not principles.

For instance I had no problem at all switching from Java to C# and there's a certain kind of developer who is not intimidated at all in starting in a new job in a language they don't know. (e.g. even as a consultant I had other people pay me to get started in Python)

The certifications however are always for Red Hat or Microsoft or Oracle or AWS, something that is either proprietary or that tries to package something open source as if it was proprietary. In some cases these programs are pretty good (MSCE was pretty rigorous back in the day) but they add to the fragmentation of the industry.
Nice thing about drones is they're unlikely to kill anyone if they crash, and they're not sharing the roads with cars in the first place.

In some places, bikes are first-class citizens of the road, but in other places they're very much not respected and riding one is tantamount to suicide. Every single cyclist I know, when they meet another cyclist, immediately asks about gnarliest injuries and they compare scars like dogs sniffing each other's butts. And in the past 20 years I've lost more friends to cycling fatalities than any other cause of death.

I'll take the drones, thankyouverymuch.
+1 for UnHook. Amazing how the experience of youtube changes when all you can see is a search bar and the current video
The "2030" deadline still allows for plug-in hybrids until 2035 which would ease things a lot, but even so the big EV players outside of china project very substantial production by 2030. Volkswagen Group is targeting 80% EV sales across Europe and 100% by 2033. the EU has a 2035 ban so redirecting some EVs toward the UK during that time wouldn't be a that big of a lift. Ford Europe has similarly aggressive targets.

You could probably quibble about how close they will be but I don't think automakers are anywhere near as worried about a 2030 Chinese takeover as you are.

I think battery raw materials and processing is a different story but even there auto mfgs have been investing heavily in battery production.
Isn’t this the idea behind soup kitchens?

They’re not next to expensive grocery stores real estate but they do receive donated food and labor.
Most things are not worth what you pay for it. That is the definition of profit. If something is sold exactly at the cost to make it, there would be no profit. If you realized how high profits are on things like cars and cell phones, you'd have the same opinion of those
The has serious "Andromeda Strain" vibes, to be honest. On the one hand: space factories, yay! On the other hand: major contamination event, ahoy!

Hard to say which path I support, really. I mean, I love the idea of manufacturing things in space - I wish we'd do more of it. I guess we really just need a safe place to land things .. and I say this as someone who stayed up late to watch the Genesis capsule recovery, and was sadly disappointed yet somehow still delighted at the conclusion of that mission ..

An intriguing conundrum for the future to solve.
T3 was a beauty.
In my job I often have to deal with developers who were supposed to implement a standard and went with a "more like guidelines" mentality. So I'm with the author here:
Either you claim to support protobuff and fully implement the spec as-is, or you cannot claim to support protobuf (with maybe some leeway on a "receive-only" label if you support a superset). Otherwise you have to name/specify your protocol modification.
BlackRock and Larry Fink taught me that my balding is not what is keeping me from being financially successful and I can confidently ignore all advertisement telling me otherwise.
I think the point they were making was that pigs eat food scraps of all kinds, and produce organic fertilizer (in addition to meat). It's an interesting idea, but it definitely doesn't work in the cities and I bet most folks in the suburbs wouldn't tolerate the smell either.

But maybe if we force supermarkets to give out expired food to coop farmers for animal feed instead of just throwing it out in the dumpster, we could be on to something.
I kind of feel the same. React and all the new stuff now feels like unnecessary complexity but they definitely got the initial DX right

I never expected that in 2023 someone will still be inventing new abstractions in JavaScript.

As far as I know the FAA has authority no matter where they land because the company is in the US and they launched from the US.
Stage? A lot of developers don't realize that they're all the same personality type which is good at particular things. LLMs give everyone else this advantage. You just don't realize it yet because you were never aware of the advantage in the first place.
Got it. To that end, Apache Pinot has a special index that allows certain dimensions to be drilled down on further, more granularly, than others, called the star-tree index. It's part of what makes Pinot so fast.

Where do you think the line is between small scale and what becomes sustainable? 10 acres? 100? 1000? Bigger?
the stops aren't the problem. it's the friction with the road... you know, what makes it so you can move.

more weight means more friction means more tyre particulate.
The extremely limited flight times and weather conditions you get from electric drones means large scale drone deployments will likely require small internal combustion engines and all the associated pollution from that. Some hybrid approaches where a land vehicle uses fully electric drones for drop off have been prototyped, but they don’t reduce tire ware.

Longer term it’s more debatable but we hand waving delivery drones as completely pollution free when we don’t know what from they would actually take is simply wishful thinking.
For now. Who knows how long that will survive.

> Group behavior is different from some individual’s behavior but it’s the same as other individual’s behavior.

It isn't.

There are greedy and sociopathic people out there which will hoard power and money (greed) for themselves. To the point that we get such cataclysmic problems. And there has been an environment for such people ever since we were able to hoard foodstuff (grains) and other valuables.

The degree to which normal people are greedy is not comparable.
There might be different ideas of what makes “bad” weather.

Some Californians think that any weather at all is bad, and some midwesterners think “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing”.

I wouldn’t hesitate to order delivery if it were raining or snowing, but maybe in this world there are people who would still order delivery during a tornado warning (because that way they don’t have to risk driving during a tornado).
Several of the grocery stores I frequent absolutely do this with a lot of things. They'll usually have something like a clearance section with things on their last few days. Its usually a good place to find a cheap loaf of bread or some kind of desert that's about to go past its sell by date to eat that night. The tricky part is those sections usually aren't refrigerated so its only shelf-stable stuff.

But they do often have "sales" for fresh goods even as good as buy one get two free which if you look at the goods on "sale" its sell by dates are all within a day or two. But hey, buy a big thing of berries and invite some friends over.
It's at least ten years too late to be complaining about this, probably closer to fifteen. "Senior" doesn't mean anything anymore other than perhaps having more than zero experience and should be treated as a null word when encountered on a resume.
Yep, if your state passes a law between the time you start the project and now it doesn't matter, you still need to adapt the software to be compliant.
This doesn't negate the comment that you are responding to at all. Drones have been most effective in defensive operations, often in concert with mine fields.

Offensive is much more difficult, as it needs to be coordinated with ground forces that can be impeded by mine fields. It is also easier for prepared defense lines to stop drones than it is for an offensive operation in the open to defend against them.
I think Rich clearly demonstrated the pitfalls in today's Svelte and the introduction of runes seemed like a great solution to them. I'm not a Svelte user but this new feature does seem clearer to me when looking at the refactored code than the magic reactivity behind the `$` syntax. Overall a net win in my opinion.
Besides the other replies, 9k is on the premium end of the spectrum - literally so, pinball machines come in trim levels like cars and 9k is the price for the Premium class.

There are Pro models for 7k new or typically 6k used, and also some Home models for 5k MSRP and often under 4k at street price. They have less stuff than the premiums, but you can get into a modern machine for way less than 9k.

Uber and Instacart are both currently profitable.
Hey,

You can see our database rules spec here:
https://electric-sql.com/docs/api/ddlx

We haven't implemented it all yet but you can see the intention / direction. It's similar to RLS but adapted for the context.

Connections are authenticated by signed JWT:
https://electric-sql.com/docs/usage/auth

We also auto-generate a type-safe data access client from the electrified subset of the Postgres schema. This applies type-level write validation and will apply general write validation when we get there.

James.
>This reminds me of Uber, Lift, and food delivery companies... Years and decades of VC money poured in, and they still can't get profitable.

I think it was Uber, I remember reading that one of them would be profitable if they shut down their R&D department and focused on just ride sharing.

React Hooks has its problems, but it got so many things right from the start - code written in 2018, when hooks first came out, still works today. No need to rewrite everything when a new major release comes out.

That said, svelte5 does solve a lot of problems that stop me from trying it.
