Do you have some idea of how many jobs per minute or hour do you have? Just want to compare with what we have on Redis at work.

Do you also have any idea on the concurrency? How many workers you have pulling from Postgres.

I’ve used this approach before (ages ago) when Redis wasn’t even a thing, though not at high throughout requirements.
…yes, because they used loopholes in labor agreements to fuck over everyone but their c-suite, just like every other tech company did with gig workers. That’s why they’re all on strike right now? Thankfully, they have unions, whereas most workers exploited in this way do not.
You put the sugar in when the tea is hot because it allows you to super saturate the room temperature/cold tea with sugar and the tea is more like a syrup. If you just stir in sugar, you can't get the same amount, especially if they bring you chilled tea.

Regarding pricing: yes, I will raise prices after I make a few more sales and establish myself as a reputable Etsy seller. I also agree that I need to improve the listings with more details and better product photos. Thanks for the feedback!

It looks like I've sold out of some items, so they've been de-listed on Etsy.

TBH if life is there or anywhere in our solar system it'd 99% chance be single-celled bacteria/archaea type life.. because that's what like 80% of Earth's history has been... and yes... I think you'll find most of the population would probably give it a shrug.

If you found multicellular crawly life "like us", sure, people would be excited. I also think that's exceedingly unlikely. If life itself here is a "fluke", eukaryotic life is wayyyyy more of a fluke.

The two sides disagree on the algorithm used to define the border. Croatia's algorithm gives it to Serbia and better stuff to Croatia. Serbia's algorithm gives it to Croatia and better stuff to Serbia. So neither claims it. But, nor will whoever loses the fight over the algorithm give it up either.

That doesn't mean either side will accept some third party adding another algorithm and set of borders into the mix.

I agree it sounds like it should be true. But the reason BS is effective is that it often sounds true without actually being so. I can think of many examples within 10 seconds where high effort bullshit was trivially refutable, so I don't think it's safe to assume that this non-"law" actually holds in reality regardless of how cozy it may feel.

I just don't understand it. On the one hand, you can lose access to your mails and have almost no way of getting them back if you use GMail. On the other hand, you have an alternative but still stay with Google because their interface is better? I use an alternative and I don't care about the interface - it's good enough. I can read and write emails, there is human support, that's all I need from my email provider. I'd probably be happier if they had a better interface, but it's really not that important. I'm not judging it, that's your choice, but I just find it strange.
A lot of these products descend from their Applied Predictive Technologies acquisition back in 2015.

APT was a very interesting company. It was a hybrid between a business consulting company and a software company.

And by that I mean, if you saw them at the Harvard career fair they would tell you that they were a consulting company, and if you saw them at the CMU career fair they would tell you that they were a software company. Because they preferred to hire their consultants from Harvard (and others) and their software developers from CMU (and others).

And the truth was in the middle. The software half of the company built data analysis and business analytics software platforms, that the consulting half of the business drove on behalf of clients as part of engagements.

It was a consulting company that, rather than building their consulting work on a mess of excel and powerpoint, built it on a robust in-house data analysis platform instead.

Quite a unique place.
I looked into congestion control earlier in the year.

It's hilarious to see the things which were hard coded in the first BSD implementation, like a 4 KiB socket buffer size.

Also, as far as I can see, Bill Joy DID actually have linear backoff but it was hidden behind an always-false condition, so his hand-written lesser float backoffs were chosen instead. This seems like a fairly tragic coding error to me.
> that's what should be illegal: to give discounts based on whether you disclose your PII or not

That would definitely help, but I think it wouldn't be enough. Drugstores would promptly come up with some app-related trick, like "just scan this QR-code to redeem your discount", and personal-info would be acquired indirectly.

They started to elaborate a bill recently, addressing the case of drugstores in particular, but I suspect they will eventually deliver something full of breaches, just like they did in the State of Sao Paulo.

Moreover, drugstores are on the spot currently, but there are plenty of companies doing exact the same nowadays.

If you do a rewrite you can throw away the memory buffer and handle all data with opaque pointers, thus allowing complete integration with the GC.

And yes, you could just leave the buffer dangling there, and tell people not to use it, but it doesn't ease any part of the task of designing the new thing.

They used the term LARP a lot more literally than I expected.

Although the history of LARP as a legal defense is narrow, the authors share the concern that it may soon become commonplace. Early attempts at such a strategy have been made by a defendant acting alone or in loose cooperation with members of a fantasy group who knew each other only in the virtual world, claiming “artistic expression” to excuse threatening language.

I can see this being a big problem with memes in the immediate future. Does the FBI have a page where they attempt to distinguish edgy memes from genuine calls to violence? This is a relatively benign example, but there are TikToks where users pretend to have fantasies about taking officer's service weapon. Sure they're all jokes, but modern internet humor is deeply ironic; I'd imagine there are plenty of genuinely violent people making seemingly ironic memes. I'd also imagine that there are nonviolent memers disseminating genuine violent ideas and vice versa.
The US government can do that. What they can't do is prevent the resulting inflation. That inflation will wipe out the gains the auto workers get from the raises they get from this strike. Those who don't work for auto makers (and so didn't get the raises in the first place) will be far worse off.

You can't print your way to prosperity.
Oh don't get me wrong, I thought it was just a bit funny and/or ironic because the media will write about even the most mudane things if they are easy to write about. Something happens outside of a major city where nobody was seriously injured, no public figures explicitly involved, or there were no major crimes commited - it's very unlikely it'll end up in the news.

I'm 100% sure if this happened near some major city, it would be top 5 news item of that day. But alas, it happened in the middle of nowhere, so it kind of not happened if you get my meaning.

I get the appeal and why it's happening, but FFS, this is a huge threat to the United States (and other countries), and it seems to be growing day by day. It's easy to dismiss ("it's just LARPing with real guns, dude") but we need to address it head on.

Because this is deeply intertwined with "politics" it becomes radioactive to discuss in polite society (e.g., HN itself), but we'd be well served to find a way to have some dialog.
> One might argue (and many artists have ) that the artists would get paid more if there were a market for their tour rather than one company owning the vast majority of large venues.

I think that's where the "reputation laundering" angle comes into play. With its unique position, Ticketmaster gives artists plausible deniability. "Nothing we can do about it", "evils of capitalism", "a monopolist captured the market, government doing nothing", etc. - say artists, for whom the image they project is a core part of their market value. With a properly functioning competitive market, those same artists would have to either get much less, or answer some inconvenient question about ticket pricing.

You can’t automate your way to prosperity either if you assume you can do so to vacuum up productivity as dividends and share buybacks. Velocity of money is what keeps the economy moving, not the wealthy hoarding aggregate productivity (while providing crumbs to the lower socioeconomic strata). People who spend must have the ability to earn. That spending is what drives the economy.

The innovative risk takers are the ones that try things out and move things forward. I'm not recommending you become one, but I recommend you support people who have the drive and willingness to do this because you and I only stand to benefit.

The other problem with science is that it's slow. Will science produce a verified treatment in your lifetime? Clinical trials cost millions. Maybe they'll do one, maybe not. In those cases if you have no other option, take a risk.

I agree with your general point but there's nothing inherently bad about the smartphones themselves. They are perfectly good computers, it's these big corporations who turn them into locked down approved content consumption machines. We shouldn't be dismissing these computers just because of that, we should be working to empower ourselves to use them to the fullest with projects like postmarketOS.

PAM? Really?

I think a better goal would be to create an entirely new design, with a decent scripting language for expressing which authentication/authorization queries to do and when to succeed (which PAM config files, ahem, are not), and get distros to use it. And maybe allow loading legacy PAM modules as an optional feature.

(Aside from all the obvious suckage, I have my personal pet peeve: it’s been how many years, and we still can’t grant ambient capabilities using PAM?)

Shiu's paper is a nice improvement over Crowley's findings (here: http://www.ciphergoth.org/crypto/solitaire/).

I've taught folks to use this cipher, then showed them Crowley's analysis. It's a good exercise that provides a taste of the sort of cryptanalysis found in real-world ciphers and other cryptographic primitives. It's much more difficult for folks without the background to understand reduced round attacks in AES -- since that does require some understanding of key scheduling in the cipher -- but after physically manipulating those cards, then doing some statistical reasoning to reproduce the results of this paper, it's relatively easy to visualize some of these weaknesses.

That's definitely a good primer for getting folks to think carefully when choosing and using cryptographic primitives when designing protocols. That can be a subtly difficult challenge.
The most likely scenario is that it would be microbes, but even microbes would be pretty amazing if they turned out to be based on something other than DNA/RNA or proved sufficiently distinct from Earth life to suggest a second abiogenesis event.
> I think it is simply because they are no longer competitive enough to survive without a lot of protectionist measures keeping superior products off the market. That works in the US of course. But it has also killed the export market.

That said, it's still a reasonable strategy for the US to protect its domestic car industry from Chinese competition specifically due to open and hidden government subsidies that the Chinese government provides with the goal of owning this market segment (similar to solar panels and others).

This doesn't seem unreasonable if you consider the strategic dimension of outsourcing a key industry to an authoritarian adversary. As an aside, the EU is looking into this as well [1].

One of the biggest benefits imo of using Postgres as your application queue, is that any async work you schedule benefits from transactionality.

That is, say you have a relatively complex backend mutation that needs to schedule some async work (eg sending an email after signup). With a Postgres queue, if you insert the job to send the email and then in a later part of the transaction, something fails and the transaction rollbacks, the email is never queued to be sent.

I was definitely confused by this article at first, thinking it was some silly guide for law enforcement which can't tell the difference between criminals and LARPers...??

But no -- it's actually about terrorists and criminals trying to claim in court that their criminal planning wasn't that at all, but just LARPing:

> For example, after Kaleb Franks was arrested in October 2020 for plotting to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, he told the FBI he and his compatriots were only LARPing. Franks later pled guilty and testified that this was a lie.

So this document is for investigators to ensure they have a specific framework for being able to collect the appropriate evidence to use in court that prevents a defendent from using a LARPing defense.

Which actually makes a tremendous amount of sense. When armed militia members claim all of their organizing/preparation is just recreational, and totally unlinked to violence that members do eventually commit, it's important to have delineated standards to be able to refute that.
Sure, but the best BS is mostly true and requires fact-finding.

We see this in science where it’s the lack of replication that uncovers the BS.
