I'd have to imagine that police in Alabama are probably a lot more aggressive in "running off" homeless people.

I’m new to Go for a significant project this year and like a lot of it, but there are a few things about its philosophy that just doesn’t click for me and the versioning policy is one of them.

To me, this clearly should be considered a breaking change, which I normally would expect to look out for when the major version number changes. I get that checking module definitions means unchanged code won’t break, but it might break code in ways I as a programmer would not expect when upgrading minor versions. It might be technically correct according to some definition, but lacks practicality, which has been a recurring feeling for me as I get into the language.

>Court and police records show that police began investigating 17-year-old Celeste Burgess and her mother Jessica Burgess after receiving a tip-off that the pair had illegally buried a stillborn child given birth to prematurely by Celeste. The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger, which prompted the state to issue Meta with a search warrant for their chat history and data including log-in timestamps and photos.[1]

Police were given a tip. They talked to the women, who then admitted to coordinating the crime over chat. A warrant was issued. No 4th amendment was violated.

It’s a good distinction to make, logging for client based systems, is essentially UI design.

For a web app, serving lots of concurrent users, they are essentially unreadable without tools, so you may as well optimise the logs for tool based consumption.

That is exactly my experience after trying svelte/sveltekit for 2 months.

Well, that's nice cherry-picking. Older people rise to the top in institutions because they have the requisite experience, patience and people skills, and yes, sometimes, brilliance.

Now, let's talk about the other 99% plus. Older people are throw-aways in society, and will be served, like anyone or anything else, when there's a buck to me made. Need I mention pharma? And forget affordable housing.

I didn't have the patience to wait for another university department taking 2 months to make a decision about hiring me, so I left. And so on for the other above-mentioned skills at other jobs. The demographics of institutions will change when the rules of the game change. The excitement of young brash startup culture either burns you out, changes when you are acquired (or go public) or your founder/owner/CEO decides that laws and regulations are "for schmucks only".

The demographics of government will change when rules change, for example, term limits, but then you'll see more job-hopping and inexperienced people being ineffective locally and globally.

Voter demographics are changing, as more and more angry seniors spend time yelling at clouds and forget to vote, and as young people object to people who "got theirs" already wanting to exert some draconian control over the lives of others who haven't.
We orchestrate our ETL pipelines with dagster. We only use duckdb in a few of them but are slowly replacing pandas etls with it. For some of our bigger jobs we use spark instead.

Essentially it's:
1. Data sources from places such as s3, sftp, rds
2. Use duckdb to load most of these with only extensions (I dont believe there's one for sftp, so we just have some python code to pull the files out.)
3. transform the data however we'd like with duckdb.
4. convert the duckdb table to pyarrow
5. Save to s3 with delta-rs

FWIW, we also have this all execute externally from our orchestration on an EC2 instance. This allows us to scale vertically.

> The thing is you are going to make mistakes when you are reasoning with uncertainty, you can learn to make better mistakes but you're always going to be taking risks.

> The problem is that from the system's perspective, these aren't "errors".

When I say "error" here I mean the mathematical term, i.e. numerical error, from error analysis, not "error" as in "an erroneous result".

There is a formalism for measuring this type of error and making sure it does not exceed your desired precision.

> It's just not the value that you want.

My point is exactly that if you're looking at 0.300000...4, you aren't done with your calculation yet. If you stop there and show that value to a user somewhere (or are blindly casting it to a decimal or arbitrary precision type), you are using IEEE 754 wrong.

You know that your input values have a precision of only one or two sub-decimal digits, in this example, so considering more than ten digits of precision of your output is wrong. You have to round!

It's the same type of error that newspapers sometimes make when they say "the damage is estimated to be on the order of $100 million (€93.819 million)".

Yes, this is often more complicated and error-prone (the human kind this time) than just using decimals or integers, and sometimes it will outright not work (since it's not precise enough – which your error analysis should tell you!)! But that doesn't mean that IEEE 754 is somehow inherently not suitable for this type of task.

As a practical example, Bitcoin was (according to at least one source) designed with floating point precision and error analysis in mind, i.e. by limiting the domain of possible values so that it fits into double-length IEEE 754 floating point values losslessly – not because it's necessarily a good idea to do Bitcoin arithmetics using floating point numbers, but to put bounds on the resulting errors if somebody does it anyway: That's applied error analysis :)
How can we forget this classic:

Men: not even the primary victims of their own gruesome battlefield deaths.
I think there's an alternate universe out there where:

- we collectively realized that logs, events, traces, metrics, and errors are actually all just logs

- we agreed on a single format that encapsulated all that information in a structured manner

- we built firehose/stream processing tooling to provide modern o11y creature comforts

I can't tell if that universe is better than this one, or worse.

yes - i want to be clear that i'm not a crypto shill or anything but I do think the term evokes a landmark change that signals the end of a previously unchallenged dominance. hence repurposing it for this. i genuinely listen to HN Recap and PG Essays every single day now and if you asked me a year ago if I'd have any AI generated podcasts as part of my daily rotation I would have laughed at you.

in the meantime - the human podcasting industry is in decline. Spotify is shutting down their stuff (good riddance). NPR laid off a bunch of their people. Rogan and All-In have gone mostly political. etc etc. it is going to be hard to beat machines at staying on topic and probably mostly ad free because of how cheap and consistent they can be.

seems reasonable to draw the lines out and ask when and if AI content takes over... I like thought provoking questions like that, even if, like eth > btc, it never actually comes to pass. It's a thought exercise.
That's a complicated story. Turkey bought the Russian S-400 system instead of NATO weapons, partly because they have economic incentives to be on good foot with Russia, partly because want to be ambivalent enough towards the West to have take advantage of credible threats in upcoming negotiations, partly because of domestic policy reasons.

As was expected, they pretty much immediately found themselves under US weapons embargo. Modern weaponry form integrated systems, and integrating a Russian system in a NATO system is pretty much out of the question for various practical reasons.

The Swedish embargo however was different. Swedish law simply forbids export to countries that use force against civilians. There are plenty of well supported evidence of this taking places, not only in Syria. But all this have to be taken into context to understand the Turkish situation.

Perhaps unfortunately, depending on your perspective, the Swedish embargo was lifted when the NATO negotiations started. That is Realpolitik for you. Nobody wants to risk a Turkey allied with the Eastern block. And Turkey knows perfectly well to take advantage of that. Thus far it seems to be working for Erdogan. The deal maker image gains popularity, which is sorely needed with Turkish economy being what it is. The open question is how far he can push it.

Metric in many things, and I was taught metric exclusively through school in the early 80s in England.

Road signs and limits all still in miles exclusively.

People still refer to each other in feet and inches although official stuff often wants cms. TVs still in inches.

It's not as bad as America, because Brits have a very solid understand of metric and tend to use it whenever we can, but still needs work :(

Encrypted data ideally is incompressible. Incompressibility is a hallmark of efficient cryptographic operations.

See the Wikipedia article on Kolmogorov complexity, which has a short section about compression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity#Compress...

Edit: One of my favorite concepts in the domain of compression is the pigeonhole principle, that states that for all compression algorithms, some outputs will be larger than the inputs.

Well designed encrypted payloads may be compressed, but the outputs should on average be larger than the inputs, rendering compression useless thus it is said to be "incompressible".

Because RxJS made at least one huge mistake: it made its observables lazy.

That's just a worse UX.

So are touchscreens, especially in cars. Physical buttons are far better for the end user.

Imagine a future when all people know is blah blah to use computers, can't type, never see buttons, and barely read any more.

I'm almost certain it does have the same issue. I don't believe there's any networking gear out there that is believed to be bug and exploit free now and expected to stay that way in the future.

I believe a dedicated hacker could use the microphone and camera in my phone and laptop to spy on me. They could look at the street in front of my house. They could see my entire browser history, everything I've printed, every call I've made, everything I've said over email or text message.
The litmus test is whether the issues are being treated like an (apocryphal?) Medieval witch test, where you are a witch regardless of the outcome.

For example, the fact that males disproportionately commit suicide is blamed on toxic masculinity - lack of vulnerability, cultural self esteem issues or whatever. Ok, fair enough; now the counterfactual is, what if females disproportionately committed suicide? It's pretty clear that it would be diagnosed on the left as related to toxic masculinity too (like e.g. women being less assertive asking for raises is).

The left talks about these issues like that, all the time, indeed - that makes it easier to dismiss the issues or to blame them on the "victim". It appears that the author thinks some other approach is needed.
I blame the document format. No "bad" browser/viewer would put random spaces in in the middle of a word when using HTML, OpenDocument, LaTeX, or I imagine anything but the OCR-like processing that you have to do when trying to interpret a PDF file. If they wanted it to be accessible, they could have chosen a different format, or to make it compatible with the most popular freely available reader. Not sure what specifically they want me to use?

If you're curious, you can read the relevant laws yourself. I suggest you start with the STOCK act of 2012 (S. 2038, 126 Stat. 291, enacted April 4, 2012).

You're only adding up half of the equation. On the other half, your nation's productivity has skyrocketed due to plummeting labor costs.

Lets say that robots cut US 'labor' costs in half -- from about 10 trillion to 5 trillion. Add in a 5 trillion dollar tax on robot labor and you've got about 14,700 per capita to spend. And costs for businesses don't change.
