> As if postgres and others don’t have a way to run application logic at the database.

I think it's reasonably fair of them not to specify this. The target audience of this article is people who are writing their applications in languages like Elixir, JS, Ruby, Python, and are not going to be interested in pushing all of their business logic to the db.
And they are correct. Clearly policing is not efficient enough and the punishment for these car thieves isn't sufficient deterrent. Which are both failures of political system and not the manufacturers who have made fully compliant cars.

I think the problem is that you need to establish a business relationship with the giant banking systems to get them to give you access and unless you have contacts or a way into that world this is very hard to do. I don't know how you'd pull it off in an OSS project.
In my experience the keyboard solution is just a bit too awkward to use for anything other than short sentences. I do enjoy the keyboard experience but for me to use it as a computer would require a lot of accessories. I have used it on a plane to watch movies though! Something I needed to switch to the desktop for (used VLC) and it worked perfectly.
Huh? I haven't played Baulder's Gate 3 yet but I have seen nothing but praise for that game, and I don't believe a copy has been sold for less than $60 yet.

I don't think games being too expensive is the issue. Games simply not being interesting or fun is.
This is not a difficult problem to solve, if the corporation wants it solved.

We managed it by assigning someone to support on a rotating weekly basis. During that week, project hours missed due to support tasks were acceptable. If you had a critical task due and it was your support week, you could swap support with someone, or we'd reassign the task. But with Software being the "last line of defense" after Field Service and Product Technical Support, we couldn't just ignore it.

There are solutions. You just have to act like you want it solved.

>t. Do you really think if people were as/more productive at home that companies would throw that increase in productivity away?

Yes, I do.

Also, I don't think the vast majority of office-based companies have any idea what their actual productivity levels are.

Prime video is free with your Prime subscription. You are going to go back to slow, paid delivery on Amazon?
Maybe, but not directly, and it could easily be done badly. Relying explicitly on abstract symmetries tends to make code more mathematical, harder to read, and harder to explain. (See the many attempts at explaining monads for a relatively accessible example.)

A bit of repetition to avoid relying on a difficult-to-understand mathematical construct is often a good tradeoff when writing code for others to read. It's similar to how adding a dependency on a powerful library to do something trivial isn't a good move.

Manipulate the incentive structure so that it does not financially incentivize single parents.

The IPv4 at my router yes. That's where tracking ends. IPv6 privacy is an illusion, try the test I described, remove IPv6 from your router at home, wait a few hours or few days, the family will complain search results are odd or messed up and that's only the beginning of it.

I don't know how companies are doing it but they are able to track your IPv6 changed daily or not.
I hear you, but once something like that burns me, I am very loathe to risk it again if the cost/benefit ratio seems unfavorable to me. While it's nice to have the pretty dashboards for Netdata, it's not worth even a small risk of it breaking or degrading my systems.
Employers do not force people to work for them, and they also do not have an unlimited choice of employees. Certain commute lengths make sense at certain payrates at certain commute costs. If the commute costs change, then the other two variables have to change too, and the employer will have to pay more to incentivize people further away to work for them.

And if living closer to work costs more, then the employer is going to have to pay more to have their employees afford to live closer.
Maybe a part of the problem is that the two work patterns are suitable for much different personalities, but when switching from all-in-office to remote, the mix of personalities leads to lower aggregate productivity. E.g. someone who needs a periodic tap on the shoulder (nothing wrong with that, I've known plenty of people like this) might do very poorly in a much more loose environment. Of course it could be argued that this is a badly executed remote switch, which could be worked on, but still - I'd guess that when starting out hiring for full remote, you preselect a group that works well in that environment.
I have found I can get fantastic deals on eBay on blu-ray and DVD titles via thrift store sellers, sometimes an entire blu-ray season for $10 shipped.

I only keep Prime because of the PBS Documentaries add-on which is fantastic, and those are difficult to find anywhere else.
SQLite is an in-process database. If you need language-agnostic encapsulation of data procedures, SQLite is not for you. I would suggest you consider PostgreSQL.
Yeah it seems to make a lot of sense in ecomm. Product search and filtering on tables in the 1000s rather than the millions.
I don't think I've ever needed language-agnostic procedures in a project where sqlite is also a fit. I like them both but at different times. I'd love to hear your use case though. Do you have microservices in different languages running on the same machine that share a db file? Or maybe a web + command line interface?

Sqlite's internals actually could support something like this: it has a bytecode engine https://www.sqlite.org/opcode.html that's more oriented around executing query plans and it's missing some pieces (e.g. it has no stack, only registers) but much of the machinery is there to expand it to stored procedures
I strongly recommend you read the book Factfulness by Hans Rosling. It’s clear you feel strongly about these issues but have been misled by profit seeking media into doomscrolling news meant to keep you engaged at the cost of your mental wellbeing. This book will help you recalibrate your worldview.
Having the leeway to dedicate itself to long term R&D&P, regardless of vision and resources, is also an effect of no investors demanding quarterly profits.

The size of the integer types are already fixed by the JVM specification (int is always 32 bits, etc.), and there are no unsigned integer types in Java except for char (a 16-bit unsigned integer type). Furthermore, Java does not support alias names for types. Hence it’s unclear what your question is aiming at.

I think it's amazing you're starting a new project. You stated two points in your blog post on this project: 1. To push back on Chrome almost-monopoly and 2. As a self-learn project.

You'll have to balance the needs between those two. You aren't hitting 1. until you have users picking up the browser. You'll be hitting 2. as soon as you start the project, potentially.

If you contribute to currently existing projects you'll be hitting 1. A lot more but may lack 2. compared to a new project.

Good luck! Btw this is reminding me of Serenity OS which includes a from-scratch browser. You should check it for inspiration :D

Canada was one of the countries to mandate immobilizers, in 2007, and car theft has not stopped: thieves found ways around the immobilizers.

https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/anti-theft-immobilizers-in-cars-a...

https://globalnews.ca/news/9392427/vehicle-theft-canada-secu...

> For example in Toronto last year, there were 9,439 reports of auto theft — a jump of nearly 45 per cent from the previous year. Toronto Police Service records show that auto theft has increased annually every year since 2018.

Once Kia and like manufacturers put immobilizers in their American cars, thieves will target the most expensive car rather than these brands, but that will not stop car theft.
I think if locks were expected to be efficient most lock companies in USA would be out of business.. They produce on average utter crap. So considering prevailing standards of locks in USA, the offerings of KIA and Hyundai are in line.
The stock market is also gambling. Plenty of informed consenting adults visit casinos all the time. What's the "responsible adult" way to spend your discretionary entertainment budget these days? NFTs? Disney+? Binge drinking at cocktail bars after work? High yield savings accounts? I mean seriously I'm not pro psychologically damage people with manipulative feedback spirals. But let's not ignore the fact that 1) owning a cool cosmetic and looking good stomping noobs is fun, and 2) that people are willing to pay purely for entertainment.
For some context on the early days of steam, I remember the Friends network having reliability issues presumably due to scaling as everyone adopted steam.

But by reliability issues I don't mean it occasionally failed. It did, but that was early on. I assume they just killed the backend and never pushed a client update to remove it because I remember what was at least months if not a full year of the friends UI just saying it failed to connect to the Friends network.

The actual matchmaking never had any real issues that I remember, but the login servers definitely did, and deleting clientregistry.blob and restarting steam was just a routine thing you did to get steam working again.

None of this is really that surprising though, steam was originally a tool just for beta testers, while the live game used WON for matchmaking. WON was shutting down and Valve had to rush steams public release.
It may be my specific setup. But on a 1440p display, 125% OS scale, I'm seeing more white left/right than actual content in the middle. It is also wrapping the code making it difficult to read.

It's not for you to exploit to make a buck

Of course it is... That’s what Google does, that’s what all companies who are large enough to know how to work around the GPL do. Every company who uses it on their own servers without telling you, or even compiles and distributes it hoping that no one notices, does. And when they do, they sometimes contribute resources back to the project, which helps it to thrive.

The GPL is very ideological, and there’s nothing wrong with that but you can see the cost of that right here: where someone pointing out there is a hidden cost is shamed for doing so. Given the chance of contributing code or community to two similar projects, I prefer the one that’s more about building than it is about contracts.
Postgres is free. Put it on a computer. Cost is certainly not an argument against Postgres cause it can run on any back end that runs Linux.
Thanks, that looks super useful. :)
it's good. think of it like adding a different kind of lock that requires a different key (method) to open up first. at worst it's no less secure than before. If it works as intended it's a huge disincentive for anyone collecting encrypted data with the hopes that a quantum computer may break encryption the "old" method in the future.

It seems like the modern solution is to use something like temporal.io -- (related to windmill). Alas, surely people have been solving this problem for ages now without temporal.io
My first thought too. I can't stand Amazon nowadays, even if you know what you want exactly you still need to deal with load of counterfeit and bogus junk.
> it's unreasonable to say that "this is how pretty much every business works".

i don't mean it in a totally negative sense. maybe it came across that way in the context.

a business is still a facilitator between you and something you need. they have an advantage be it money, resources, technology, connections...something that allows them to act as that middle man and in many case monopolise it.

on social media its much easier for anyone to do that. you dont really need any resource aside from "hustle" as they call it.

Thanks for clarifying, in particular about the workshop. I think you're right that the service could definitely stand to be decoupled from Steam. While that might be easier said than done (you would still have to implement Valve's downloading/update checking to match the quality of the Steam client to make it as seamless), it would definitely be huge for modding. I mentioned Nexus in my post to get at the idea that modding for a lot of games is far from an ideal system and you pretty much have to pay to get around that in most cases, but an independent Steam workshop page that developers pay to opt into would be a good approach to that. Now I want them to do it...

The input thing does seem like a niche complaint, sorry to say. I don't think I've ever encountered that, and I think even if I did it wouldn't stop me from playing the game, I would just bind the controls myself. I guess this could be decoupled as well, but I don't think the reason that it isn't is necessarily lock-in; I would bet that there just aren't enough people that care about it, so to Valve it would be wasted effort. But now I'm assuming intent so what do I know, really.
Sounds extremely reasonable...but (sadly) neither "truth" nor "justice" count for much in the American legal system.

Not a substantive article, but important topic and there are better resources out there. TLDR: big rail projects get overloaded to become job creation programs and satisfy pet political agendas
In the hierarchy of "from scratch", it goes more like "buy fast car", "build fast car from available parts", "machine own parts from stock", "make own castings from scrap metal", "mine ore and smelt it".

Just because my hot rod isn't made from existing parts does it mean I'm mining ore.

Many awesome hot rod projects involve machining from stock or even casting from scrap. What OP is doing is on this same level. He's not doing atomic layer deposition or anything. Just writing code on top of an existing OS and using existing programming languages.
Because it works anyway and 99.9% of them don't even know there is a problem here.
> I think the point is, there were many years (decades) where String Theory was NOT testable.

That's inaccurate or incorrect. You're using "testable" in two different ways without realizing it.

From the very beginning, string theory has been testable in the normal sense that scientific theories are testable: it makes predictions, and you can test those predictions. However, it was designed to make the same predictions as quantum physics and relativity.

When people say string theory is "not testable", what they mean is that there are no known, viable tests that allow us to determine whether string theory might provide a better description of the universe than the existing theories.

There was nothing such as, for example, the lensing of starlight around the Sun that helped determine that general relativity's predictions were more accurate than Newtonian ones.

This is very different from the situation with IIT. IIT is not testable at all. In that sense, it is demonstrably pseudoscience, or if we're being charitable, a conjecture that hasn't yet been fleshed out to the level of a testable hypothesis.
I'm not sure I'd use the word "opinionated" here, but yeah he's angry about something which he has a strong opinion on.
This is better than what they announced originally but it doesn't cure the breach of trust.

I doubt most will. I will, but I don't buy that much from them anyway.
Right? Whether or not it's practical, it's the way we learn.

I used to see that sort of haughty "well why do you want to do X" response all the time on stackoverflow/its ilk (I've basically deprioritized results from that entire network of sites now), which isn't even a good tack as there are plenty of others who might want to do X for other, valid reasons; "why" shouldn't even be a question as far as learning goes.
Granted, it's not HTML, but you can append Markdown output directly to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY without dealing with artifact uploads etc.
Yeah, it's already bad enough you can no longer play games through Steam that were made for the respective OS, e.g. Windows XP, and soon Windows 7... like, I bought games on steam nearly 20 years ago, and the games I bought at that time were designed to run on the systems of that time (and many haven't been updated since). I expect to still be able to play those games on my old computers... but I literally can't (unless I pirate them), because Valve decided old computers just don't matter and you might as well throw those in the trash, I guess? Cool.

Take your favorite game today. In ~20 years, you'll be lucky if you can even play it at all.

I guess luckily the backup insurance we have is Linux... but that's also a matter of how far back of a Linux install you could log into Steam with. I guess we'll see. :)
I really worry about split-brain with sqlite. These replication features just seem too immature for me.

That being said I love sqlite and it should be the DEFAULT database with any application until something is demanded otherwise.
Yeah, that's the problem. This is a deregulation that we can't even pretend caused any of those ills. It's kind of dumb to try to lump it in with the ones for which there's a case.
There is an excellent hotplate available that plugs into USB. Though I believe you need about 20 free USB slots.
I use bootstrap for my own projects because I use it to work and don't have to be distracted with yet another framework.

The part of me that likes extreme DSLs gets a bit of a thrill out of Tailwind but Bootstrap is closer to the original intention of CSS but I'd still like to see something that uses modern css features (like calc() and nesting) to build a design system for a site where the classes are mostly semantic.

Trouble is most designers would rather draw one pretty picture at a time than do the systems thinking it takes to make a design system. There's always been a huge mismatch between what CSS offers and what designers want although we've gotten a huge toolbox (40+ spec documents) that let them do what they need, sometimes with some grace.
Not to mention picking a Pixel phone has always meant making hardware choices you may or may not find acceptable. It used to mean being stuck with a muddy POLED display and bizarre hardware issues that crop up four months in. Now it means a Tensor chip that consistently underperforms its Snapdragon counterpart and whose poor Mali drivers essentially keep you from any kind of serious game emulation.

The smartphone market gets less and less diverse.

I don't know about open source ones, but I did find Enable Banking (https://old.reddit.com/r/eupersonalfinance/comments/k4ny3j/f...) offering free access to your own accounts.

I tried it, but I couldn't get things working sandbox environment so I ended up giving up and just do manual exports.

Being able to choose 2.5% revenue share (half of Unreal) does not sound bad to me. And very glad they removed the retroactivity of the new fees.
In large organisations you often have no choice of the type of queue between your team and other teams. That being said there’s nothing wrong with Kafka and the ability to seek back to the earliest timestamp since midnight and being able to rebuild our state from that is a godsend feature, in comparison to other queues. This means we can make our application stateless or at least afford to lose the state and be able to build it quickly from Kafka.
Microsoft’s revamped $69B deal for Activision on the cusp going through
The whole article is bad faith. It links to a Vice article claiming that Apple is lying about its environmental stances because it doesn’t reuse old iPhones and MacBooks. Then, they breeze over the fact that Apple literally breaks these devices down into their core materials for use in new devices and falsely claims that they’re “shredded into immortal e-waste”. How is that not reuse? Are they suggesting that the parts from an iPhone 4 can somehow be reused more effectively? How many old iPhones are still out there that would even be able to use any of those parts?
So your source of truth is ... Kafka?
