I'm not going to substantially respond any further.

You didn't substantially respond at all.

No one is victimizing you by asking you to focus on what you originally. You originally said that maybe statewide energy crisis that directly result in deaths are fine because it might make sense financially without even having any numbers or actual information of any kind.

All you did after was try to be insulting and act like you are being victimized while avoiding anything about what you originally said.

Why not just deal with the current topic? Why not explain what you said? It's bizarre that you would rather thrash around and try to blame people for replying when you could just deal with the thread directly.
I don't know why Vint Cerf should or want to take the blame for IP address exhaustion. We knew about the problem for 30+ years, we had a committee in charge of selecting IPng to mitigate such a disaster, we selected IPv6 as IPng, and then we ran out of IP address space. The only reason I could see why Vint Cerf is to have any blame is that he firmly agreed on a clean slate Internet protocol that didn't give any consideration towards a transition plan. Yes that's how the events unfolded, but that doesn't make him some martyr.

So the question is why a project created in a language that has been around since before the devices being emulated are more mature than ones in a language that is 8 years old?

Sorry to be so snarky. It probably depends on people's time working on it and their familiarity with async processes. This is an inherent problem with any media like that. With sound, it's primarily that it can't come before the image but can lag behind the image. Stuff like this.

I don't think any programming language is going help with that because it's how we perceive things, not just how correct your code is.
Pragmatic Thinking and Learning, Thinking Fast & Slow and Predictably Irrational are the first that come to mind for me.
You wouldn't necessarily need to track every change, you could just have 2 tables, one which contains the last "saved" version of the document, and one which contains the last modified version of the document. Upon opening after a crash, if there is a more recent modified version, the program will ask if you want to load that version.
Thanks. Yes, compound units like miles/hour or kg.m/s^2 etc are in the roadmap.

All true, there was a few comments from other parties in that video where they noted a significant number of bikes were going for 2-3 times expected. Either there's a bubble in the rare bike market or an influx of money looking for somewhere to park.
Protecting Secrets at the TPM Interface
Sooner or later any sort of monopoly leads to abuse of power and loss of foresight of greater good.
I thought this was a joke.
I went through a phase as an avid armchair architect, as someone who really appreciates and enjoys the built environment. But discussion of style, like this post, misses what I think is the most important thing: that a building serves well the needs of the people who inhabit it.

Because this can only really be discussed in reference to specific buildings and the experiences of the specific people who use them, it isn't easy to write about on a blog.

This becomes a question of power. Who is paying for the buildings, and for what purpose? What incentives do the payers have, and are they aligned with the users? And these questions, again, are best asked of specific places, projects and jurisdictions.

And then you go beyond and think about town planning, read Jane Jacobs, and then Christopher Alexander convinces you that good architecture is only possible in an anarchist utopia.

I'm not familiar with Ohio law so I'm not sure what, if any, existing abortion laws are on the books.

Assuming there aren't existing laws either protecting or prohibiting abortions, my read on this bill is that it is playing two roles.

It does establish a right to reproductive treatment and grant elgal protections to Healthcare workers providing it, I don't see this as an expansion of government powers as it is focused entirely on protecting the rights of the people. The state isn't really claiming any new ground there, and if anything is limiting it's own powers a bit by protecting individual health decisions.

The second part of the bill seems to get into an expansion of powers though. The state is granting itself the right to prohibit abortions after the treating physician deems a pregnancy viable, unless the physician believes the mother's life is at risk. Thats absolutely a expansion of government if there aren't currently any abortion bans in Ohio today, as the state otherwise hadn't claimed the power to ban abortions.

Given both in the same bill, my personal read on that would be the first section protecting freedoms is a political stunt to get the second part through. The state is leaving itself a backdoor of the definition of "viability" as well as the line for what level of life/heath risk to mother warrants a later term abortion. If passed, the state would also have the opportunity to try a case in court that challenges a treating physician's determination of either point, opening the door for case law that would effectively expand or refine the law based on the court's ruling.

tl;dr; I see this as the state protecting some rights while claiming more power under certain conditions. The line distinguishing the two is a gray area that the state has likely left poorly defined and/or can try to move later through case law rather than legislation.

Do some research
From Accounting to Writing
I was thinking this yesterday: why are plants so much bigger than animals? Is it just that it's easier to be big when you're standing still and have strong cell walls? Is it because photosynthesis makes it easier to scale nutrition up? A blue whale is an exceptionally large animal and it's a rare megafauna, but a tree that is as long as a whale is a totally normal and boring thing. Why are they so much better at being big?
4) is enough for me, so I agree with your general point, but 1) 2) and 3) aren't really cons for SQLite.

1) Makes sense only if the average XML parsers and zip libraries in use have fewer vulnerabilities and are actively maintained as well.

2) You can store sensitive data in a SQLite database or XML file, there's no real difference. You can clean up a SQLite database pretty easily if you want and that doesn't take away all the benefits.

3) What does implementer support even mean? I believe they are open to custom work... WebSQL died because it doesn't make sense to pretend SQLite is some kind of standard -- that brings us back to 4), which is the valid reason to avoid SQLite.

Actually, your 4) is worded too strongly. They say they're committed to forward compatibility as long as you don't use the new features. That makes forward compatibility the decision of the app: an app can have forward compatibility and not use newer features OR lose forward compatibility and use newer features.

Building large-scale C++ projects has become less of an issue because of CMake slowly becoming the default build tool.
Yes. IMO DDG has been better for general questions for a long time.

Google remained better for programming questions for significantly longer (I speculate this may be because Google's own programmers used it, and complained when the results sucked :-)), but now it's not. Not really.

Like you, I still use Google as a long shot, but that's become quite rare.

I sometimes use Bing for Microsoft-specific questions, if DDG doesn't give me what I want. I have the sense that Bing covers Microsoft a little better than the others do. I have no real solid evidence for this, but it seems plausible on the surface.
Perhaps we'll see allocators hold a heap/bucket pointer + capability; you would use the "free" pointer to find the metadata, and the heap pointer to interact with it
Here are some:

* Doesn't scale. Having passwords in a plain text file is not a scalable solution for users directory. Can probably go up to a hundred users, but not much more.

* In computer clusters you want user identity to "stick" to the user when they use multiple machines, containers etc. That's why you have LDAP... but it doesn't help all that much because user id is encoded into the file system (huge mistake...) which makes it very difficult to contain users to things they should control. If your only mechanism was the /etc/passwd, it would mean you'd have to constantly synchronize this file across all those machines and containers you have.
Inflation manifests itself as margin increases.

There’s too little goods being produced for too much people having money. Therefore the people selling goods can raise prices.

For some reason people assume that workers can’t be left worse off with inflation bc they assume wages have to increase to follow it. It doesn’t have to be the case. In Europe, workers are becoming poorer.
It depends on the usecase. If you're querying for something local like a restaurant or a store, google wins by orders of magnitude. If you're researching, duckduckgo is fine. Duckduckgo doesn't really compare to Kagi though.
> Google """"improved"""" it last year

Google's done a lot of "improvements". I hate to say it but its quote feature has been broken for a decade. You're only now noticing?

I've tried using other search engines. I've settled on DuckDuckGo. It also does not have a working literal-quote feature. But it's much less infested with SEO garbage.
It was great to work with Ionic. I did consider the alternatives like React Native and Flutter. But Ionic is truly one framework for Single codebase that works on web, PWA and native OSs.

In my imagination, the optimal antibots for use against the current generation of tiny drone (like converted commercial quad copters), are miniature versions of WW1 and/or WW2 era fighter planes, armed with automatic guns in the 3-5mm range. If accuracy gets good enough, the cost of shooting down a drone may come down to $10 or so worth of ammo, and unlike robots catching other robots using nets, these could shoot down serveral enemies before running out of ammo.

The problem is that I don't know how to prevent these drones from being able to fire at humans, if the software allowed it.
I've just skimmed it but I think they're not using the model's output for codegen, but rather to choose what compiler passes to use and in what order.
Show HN: Beta test our vector embeddings for electronic music discovery
I extracted 500K embeddings for a curated collection of electronic music: techno, house, drum and bass, ambient, electronica, dub reggae etc.

Archives is a new platform to discover independent music and explore the electronic musical landscape.

You can search for music using natural language or use similarity search to find acoustically similar tracks.
You can also save tracks to your ‘archive’.

It’s great for finding new music for mixes, and samples for beat making.
Good article, and I generally agree that people are too quick to say “Ahh, this looks like a two week project” and ignore broader complexity. I’ve definitely seen a fair amount of that.

My question is, how do I know that the OTS solution would actually be much better? For example, OP describes some tricky migrations from one type of billing to another, or complex grandfathering schemes - how would you have any guarantee that your third party solution would be able to support those? At least if it’s in-house you can implement the needed functionality eventually - if it’s third-party it might just be flat-out impossible.

It's an analysis of a paper, not a feature checklist, so the article is for people who want to understand more about how FoundationDB works rather than trying to provide a "which system should I use" explanation.

Though "super reliable distributed database presenting a single logical shard to client code" is a class of system for which I don't think there's anything else even close out there, and I suspect generally if that's something you -need- then you'll already know that.
I tend to agree with this, but there is an important missing bit: context. Specifically, what is the operational overhead of the team? More plainly, how many lines of code/systems/processes/etc. is the team burdened with and does it, in aggregate, constitute one top priority (leaving less room for “recognized” priorities)?

The right answer is this repository:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols

They're figuring out how to extend Wayland to something usable that supports screenshots. Anything that supports plain Wayland is going to be crippled by the protocol limitations, but anything implementing a selection of the extension protocols will be useful.

You can see the docs in pretty form here: https://wayland.app/protocols/

Only took 15 years. Pay special attention to the name of Drew DeVault who has been one of the major heros in the story. The Wayland devs apart from Drew do deserve serious kudos, moving away from X was never going to be easy. But copying pixels into a shared buffer as some sort of challenge is just hard to overlook.
Honestly interested why this was downvoted, which yes makes for boring reading but I hope it results in some interesting argument. If you need a cookie banner it means you are collecting users' personal information. For many websites this is totally unnecessary. I do not like it if a website tells me how important my privacy is to them and then asks me to accept sharing all the information they can about me with other commercial entities. For no functional reason. I don't want to press accept that. As a insignificant little protest I want press reject. I want their statistics to show that some people don't like data being shared.

"I do not care about cookies", when it cannot just hide a popup will accept the terms and removes the option for this small protest from me. That is why I do not use it. Is this somehow wrong, offensive, off-topic?

In this view the save action is more like a commit, where the user manually checkpoints and also offers a simple description of why this is an important point. But in my view all intermediary points also need to be saved, because the user might have forgotten to explicitly checkpoint, and might still want some undo/redo capability that is more granular than just checkpoints.
What's an example query?
Modern apps like gdocs have a toggle for switching between read-only, suggest changes, and editing. If you forgot to toggle, you can just open version history and revert. MS Office also had version history for nearly a decade.
Have you tried grep.app ?
Sure, that may be true. My point is that if that happened to an unusual extent, it's unlikely to be merely because the dentists were paid for doing the surgery. Most dentists in most countries get paid for their work and can get more money by doing more of it.
Always depends on what resources you have (compute, time). It's possible, but not easy.

The naming choice is really unfortunate. It's like naming a programming language "français", or "Deutsch" (or "English").

From the bottom of the readme:

> The language is named after Pierre Catala

I'd suggest changing it to PierreLang then.
100% agree on Kagi. Happy customer. Thought it would be just another one of my attempts to use Duck Duck Go that dies after two weeks of !g usage. Turned out Kagi just works. The biggest improvement / gains is on mobile, where you suddenly don't need to scroll through 5 screens of ad results to get to the content.
From what you’re saying it sounds like we just have different experiences. The companies I’ve worked for have respect for security and invest heavily in it.

Before the days of SOARs we made an effort to script our own automation using Python/Bash/etc.

But to your point, these companies that you work for that don’t invest in security and instead use outdated methods: why would they suddenly pay what I assume would be top dollar for AI when they’ve gotten along fine using ticket monkeys so far? Seems like they would continue while the far more efficient ones that take advantage of things like SOARs and already have those positions at a bare minimum would be the ones to invest the money.

That would be my guess as well. Emulation, interpretation of decades-old binary formats, and similar problems are hard to get right on the first try, they often need years of testing and breaking until they are right. A project that has been around for 20 years will always have an advantage in this space over a newcomer project.

That's a lot more likely. Magnetic North is 80 degrees north rather than 90, and in Canada, so if you can see the northern lights at 50 degrees there, that would be comparable to 60 or 70 degrees elsewhere.

> Vulnerabilities: not only in SQLite, but also in wrappers like

Yes, parsing encoded files tends to introduce vulnerabilities. ZIP parsers have had plenty of vulnerabilities. This is not exclusive to SQLite.

> Lack of transparency: zip with xml's contains only xml's

Both zips and sqlite cannot be read with a text editor. Both are open formats with widely available tools to read them. The sqlite binary might, in fact, be more widely available than unzipping tools.

> meanwhile SQLite contains by design all kinds of traces with sensitive information or empty blocks.

Elaborate?

> Lack of implementer support. It was one of the reasons for WebSQL deprecation many years ago.

I don't understand how this is relevant?

> SQLite does not even promise forward compatibility, only backward one. Which means that new documents might not open in old software

Neither does OpenDocument. SQLite is actually more solid in this regard – forwards compatibility is still a thing unless new features are used.
> If you want to just add one new operation, then you have to go to all the implementations and add new methods.

not necessarily, if you have extension methods (kotlin, swift) you have the option to extend the interface and only override the specific implementation when needed
It's not really what one would expect in SQL, but SQLite often defies expectation. In this case, handy, but non-standard.
C++ has an ages old tried and tested ecosystem for game stuff which probably makes a lot of rendering and audio tasks easier. It could take Rust years to catch up even supposing the language is inherently better.
i think the term "D has a cult following" is a bit harsh
D's community is small, that is it, nothing cult like, they dont over defend D most of the community seem to be happy using other languages etc ..

but i agree with D being a kitchen sink language, trying to be many things, but never being the absolute best at anything, which i think is why it never really took off

i am really hopeful for Zig, trying to be a more pragmatic C replacement
I’ve used DDG exclusively for a couple years now and at least with my usecases have found it better than Google in every single way other than images (which I still use it for, but need to do !g to proxy Google maybe 1 in 5 times).
Its pretty easy to make a cloud app that emulates the traditional working draft/save workflow. Browsers all have pretty reliable local storage technology now a days if your network is unstable. I don't think this design choice is a compromise of the medium. If anything it seems like if you were going to have to compromise for web you would do it in the other direction so apps are more usable during poor network conditions.

I would say the traditional model is a compromise from back when disks were unacceptably slow to be saving constantly.
Hmm. Now I want to start playing StarCraft again.
