Analyses videos in your library based on audio. For example if there are two or more episodes of a season in your library, checks for the same audio match within the first 20 minutes of the episode between episodes and marks their timestamps. While watching an episode it gives you the Skip Intro button similar to Netflix/Apple TV etc.

Somewhat in a similar way the skip end credits works (for example allows you to skip credits in Marvel movies to post / mid credit scenes)
As a point of comparison, I think simdjson tape is only ~3x larger than the original document. Much of this could be saved if one did things like stuffing numbers into only one tape slot or not copying strings that have no escape sequences in them (instead referencing their location in the original document).

The largest overhead you could achieve is apparently 8x for a document that is mostly the characters "[]" or also 8x for a document that is mostly the characters "0,"

"What are the benefits of ambiguous laws? "

Freedom and flexibility. Reality is infinitely complex, trying to encode real world problems 100% accurate into code can only work by rounding a lot, with the result of oversimplification with the result of lots of "unjust" rulings, when you do not take the intent of the law into account, but only the words. We have this problem already (a lot) many things that seem very wrong but are legal by the letters of the law.

(Mobsters being released because of formalities for example, even though everyone knee they were guilty)
It was effective for a ftp server accessing public directories in the home of users. I can't remember the details but you would use the username and password of the user to exchange files with and get into that directory. All transmitted as cleartext, of course.

30+ years ago we already had services (daemons!) with their own user id, to keep them isolated from root and the human users. This post is as news as the invention of hot water.
OpenDocument is zipped images and XML. Implying you parse the entire format and put it in RAM. And frankly I don't see how SQLite can improve this. Well XML isn't ideal, but it's zipped, so there's no huge penalty in size here.

All benefits SQLite's article lists (and I love SQLite to death by the way) can be implemented by having SQLite be the runtime model of the document. On disk and in memory. But SQLite doesn't need to be the transport format. In fact SQLite can easily get bigger than the current format, SQLite is full of unused space when you mutate it around, it can get fragmented and sparse. And if you need to optimize it every time, then the "fast save" etc. benefit goes away.

There are formats which do need delta updates and quick indexed look-ups without fully loading the file in RAM, and this is why so many apps do use SQLite as a file format. I just feel OpenDocument was a bad pick to use SQLite for in this hypothetical scenario.

>> Honest question: why does this matter? If you end up with running malware as your user haven't you already "lost" in any of a wide variety of ways that Wayland does nothing against?

No. Your web browser does a pretty good job of not storing your login info (if you tell it not to) locally. Under X, malware can monitor everything you do and log your credentials. Under Wayland it can not. Simple as that.

Malware will still try to exploit bugs and CVEs to get access, but finding a hole in a wall is entirely different than not having a wall in the first place. Holes can be patched.

People run untrusted code on their machines every day. Most of it is in the browser (which has walls) and is written by advertisers that are not well scrutinized by the sites people visit. Then there is the whole trend of containers which put more walls around native apps.

So in your question, replace malware" with "untrusted code" and it becomes more realistic.
Yeah I agree with both of you. The data ... milieu is both very frustrating and very exciting at the moment, in my opinion. There is a ton of noise - lots of vendors with big marketing budgets, endless blog spam, etc. - but also quite a bit of real signal - new or remixed stuff compared with 10 or even 5 years ago, that is really useful.

There is nothing I hate more than an app that modifies files secretly when I open them. Then I have to get all defensive to copy files before I open them to keep them intact. You may not see the problem with changing the checksum or hash of a file, but silently tampering with files is a nightmare in many domains. If you open a file and accidentally change something trivial (some apps like to store things like presentation state i. e. window positions, last page viewed, zoom level, ...)

For example in many regulated domains such as human subjects research files must be approved and only approved files may be used. "Is this version of the consent document the version that the IRB approved?" Well let's see... (1) file modification date is after the approval date and (2) checksums do not match.

Not to mention that writing a single byte of content to a filesystems marks the entire blob as needing backup.

The fact is the filesystem is the user's database, save is commit, and it should be under the users control because application developers do not have the faintest idea about user context.
It's not going to make it any worse. They just need to reduce noise levels enough to make the noise cancellation more effective, so they could keep the open booth + headphone setup instead of a soundbooth.

They also add some pink noise from the air and motors which might help.

Github free tier served us well. For a while we had a paid tier for GH orgs to get better builders, but now I think we use https://buildjet.com/. I'm not too familiar with this aspect, though.

I think the bills are paid by Jorge (the kind of "founder" of the project), at least I think so, though some of the other top members with jobs in the Linux/Cloud world might be helping. Donation paths and such have been considered, but the bills aren't too huge so nothing has been rushed in.

For the registry, GHCR serves us entirely for free. No egress costs, no ingress costs, nothing. No plans to change providers, and I don't think they have plans to raise pricing either. We could probably find an alternative host pretty easily, though, through the cloud contacts and knowledge some of the devs here have.
Looks like Copernicus updates yearly? I can't tell if they include elevation from the "technical" tab on their home page.

Having originally come from the world of geointelligence, let me tell you this is not an easy problem to solve. For rural land use, this is probably fairly reliable, but depending on the granularity of change detection you want, cities are often building new neighborhoods in the span of months, large construction projects finish, human movement happens more in the span of hours or even minutes, and that's just for land. If you want maritime tracking, you need nearly continuous updates. We managed to do it for the Navy, but the infrastructure required for this is immense, much of the sensor technology is classified and not even available for commercial use, and the resource requirements not remotely practical for a personal side project.

Of course, military intelligence is primarily trying to track the land use of other militaries, especially in active theaters of operations, and that changes even more frequently than regular places where people aren't constantly erecting and moving temporary headquarters, living under camouflage cover, and blowing up existing infrastructure.

I guess you're doing this for peacetime domestic real estate, like neighborhood X in city Y is similarity ranked against neighborhood U in city V? Are you incorporating pricing and demographic data or just land use? It seems to me like neighbors make the neighborhood, as much or more than qualities of the land. Along with things like usability of the sidewalks, responsiveness and level of disrepair of the roads, crime rates, level of visible homelessness, air quality, vehicular traffic congestion.

I don't want to shit on the approach too much. Usefulness is determined by the results you get, but given the heterogeneity of the data here, some of it ordinal, some of it nominal, discrete versus continuous, irreconciability of scaling and dimensional analysis, not necessarily coming from similar distributions if you tried to just z-score it all, I can think of ways using pure numerical voodoo to put them all into the same vector space, but the statistical validity of doing this is dubious at best.

> But I simply never see any discussion or usage of the low-level queue features offered by the language, like Deques

I respectfully disagree:

1. Deques is not a "feature[s] offered by the language". Its part of an external extension (meaning it's a C compiled plug-in to the main engine). It's development is outside of the language scope, see https://pecl.php.net/package/ds

2. Deques is barely a "low-level queue feature". It's just a data structure that can be performant for some implementations of queues. Native arrays provide slower but similar features.

3. It's sane that this (Deques) implementation detail (the in-memory data structure) is less discussed than more central and generic subjects, like scaling MariaDB.

If I consider the first two problems mentioned in the article (systems for issues and for kanban), I think Deques is unsuitable to them, because it's meant to replace arrays for in-memory works. The problems require a persistent storage, and the optimization of a PHP storage for the queue is probably irrelevant.

But it does not have to be that way).

Buildings have purposes and limitations. They can fail by not accomplishing their purpose sufficiently or by being limited in a way that defeats their purpose.

Limitations are economic, legal, or physical. Two of those can be bent or changed.

You can work around many problems with enough effort and money. For example, if you have a bedroom, you can buy lightproof curtains to block the windows (but this impedes airflow). You can turn off overhead lights and buy lights that go in the places and colors that you want. These are relatively easy and cheap compared to rebuilding.

The main thing Tesla still has over their competitors is the charging network. I've watched a couple X vs Tesla roadtrips and the biggest issue in the non-Tesla is there's way worse information about the chargers you'll find at a particular spot. These were a bit ago so maybe they've gotten better but there were a lot of "oh this charger doesn't work hopefully we have the range to get to the next one" where the Tesla chargers provide pretty good information about the number of people already charging there etc.

It's a gap they're losing a bit by other companies adopting their plug choice but there's still the integration to the car infotainment system.
