A number of years ago NYC decriminalized ownership of beehives, and a journalist interviewed a bunch of people who had them anyway. They all had schemes to hide their hives. One guy made it look like an AC condenser, and went so far as buying himself work clothes to make him look like a repairman.

Here's a nice short TED talk on tying your shoes right: https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes

It doesn't use the "Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot", but it shows that for the typical way of tying your shoes, there is a "strong form" and a "weak form", and shows you how to tell the difference.

I got lucky and have been tying the strong form my whole life, but it's sorta 50/50 depending on how you learn.
I can recommend checking out https://openepaperlink.de/. It's a project to repurpose e-ink electronic shelf labels (in various sizes, ranging from 1.54" to 7.4"). I have been playing around with it the last few weeks and it's a lot of fun! The community around this is very active on Discord.
Where exactly do you think the people who afford those luxury condo live right now? In the woods? And just because "countless" have been built doesn't meant that there have been enough to meet demand.
The most basic setup, and the one typically used until you need something more advanced, is using Prometheus for scraping and as the TSDB backend. If you ever decide to revisit prometheus, you’ll likely have better luck starting with this approach, rather than implementing your own scraping or involving TimescaleDB at all (at least until you have a working monitoring stack).

There used to be a connector called Promscale that was for sending metrics data from Prometheus to Timescale (using Prometheus’ remote_write) but it was deprecated earlier this year.
and, even if the coders were incredibly inefficient, it probably wouldn't make much difference at all, because 4k is literally multiple orders of magnitude more data than just sending coordinates of players and bullets, which even Doom was doing back in the day with reasonable (playable) latency over dial-up.

As you point out, for most types of online games, most limitations are due to latency, not bandwidth.
I'm sorry, I missed the important context here.

Yeah I don't think anyone is doing anything nefarious here, and I definitely don't want to accuse anyone of acting in that way. I have my own weird hobbies.

I still don't think it's in the project's interest to have these changes merged in, they just confuse the history & make it harder to track down relevant context.

Middle Management Is Burning Out Caught Between Layoffs and RTO
The problem with plain/primitive upset/merge operations is they don’t always support handling of what should happen when a row is deleted from the source. People new to data engineering don’t always recognize this.

Im those cases, one needs “delete-then-upsert” or “soft-delete-then-upsert” in your upset/merge implementation. I was a tad disappointed to see this only peripherally alluded to.

With some flavor of merge implementations you can do this with a pair of merge calls but in my opinion, ideally it should be one merge operation and db vendors should wise up to this.

Per https://modern-sql.com/caniuse/merge only SQL Server and BigQuery currently support “when not matched by source”. But Snowflake lets you have multiple “when not matched” clauses with “and” expressions so perhaps you can do it on that. Redshift docs show examples of using two merge statements.
> don’t your unspoken thoughts take form and exist as language in your mind?

Not really. More often than not my thoughts take form as sense impressions that aren't readily translatable into language. A momentary discomfort making me want to shift posture - i.e., something in the domain of skin-feel / proprioception / fatigue / etc, with a 'response' in the domain of muscle commands and expectation of other impressions like the aforementioned.

The space of thoughts people can think is wider than what language can express, for lack of a better way to phrase it. There are thoughts that are not <any-written-language-of-choice>, and my gut feeling is that the vast majority are of this form.

I suppose you could call all that an internal language, but I feel as though that is stretching the definition quite a bit.

> it seems like that would pretty analogous to how humans think before communicating

Maybe some, but it feels reductive.

My best effort at explaining my thought process behind the above line: trying to make sense of what you wrote, I got a 'flash impression' of a ??? shaped surface 'representing / being' the 'ways I remember thinking before speaking' and a mess of implicit connotation that escapes me when I try to write it out, but was sufficient to immediately produce a summary response.

Why does it seem like a surface? Idk. Why that particular visual metaphor and not something else? Idk. It came into my awareness fully formed. Closer to looking at something and recognizing it than any active process.

That whole cycle of recognition as sense impression -> response seems to me to differ in character to the kind of hidden chain of thought you're describing.

From looking at the 1Password app, exporting Passkeys isn't an option. that's a bit of a usability nightmare IMO, one which I hadn't considered.

I'm still strongly in favor of passkeys overall, though. They don't need to be used for every service, but strong, safe, phish-proof asymmetric crypto being used for user auth just makes sense.

How about the fact that it's been less than two weeks since they destroyed the old coin system that countless users had paid into and/or earned tens of thousands of coins from, without providing anything in return?

No Open AI is in the business of creating their vision of Artificial General Intelligence (which they define as that is generally smarter than humans ) and they believe LLMs are a viable path.

Getty Images is not exactly high art. It's already a collection of low effort images.

The threshold for getting accepted has to be much lower than the threshold for making much money, because the company needs the long tail (and so does the AI model), but a photographer previously only made money if their photos were popular.

Now as long as you can meet the minimum bar for inclusion, you get the same payment as anyone else, so the quantity of photos at that minimum level of quality goes way up.
PG upsert also increments the counter.

No, not really. The first three criteria of the Open Source Definition [0] are essentially freedoms 1–3 of the Free Software Definition [1] and freedom 0 more or less maps to criteria 5 and 6.

The mainstream FOSS licenses (GPL, BSD, Apache2, etc.) are all included both in the official list of open source licenses [2] and the official list of free software licenses [3], so these licenses are both open source licenses and free software licenses. These lists might have some minor differences, but they share a substantial subset and the definitions broadly speaking define the same thing.

Didn't read the study, but from the article:

"In the study, a group of nearly 20 participants attended two lab sessions where they smoked both a traditional cigarette and a pod-based e-cigarette. To measure the effects of the vaping and smoking, the research team measured the rate at which participants' blood vessels dilated back to their normal size. Results showed delays in that process for both electronic and traditional cigarette use."

Maybe an indicator for where future research should go, but not a basis for an overall safety judgment.
A few cents a cup?! Where do you buy your coffee? I buy coffee at about 12 bucks a pound. A pound makes about ten carafes of 4 cups (tbh, I use the term cup loosely, because a mug for me is more like 1.5 to 2 actual measuring cups) each. I get to more like 30 to 40 cents a cup. It seems like there might be potential for major cost savings.

Controversial take, but if the public is paying your salary to represent them, both you and your spouse should be under greater scrutiny so they know whose interests you're really representing.

The need to disclose spousal information may dissuade some (maybe many) from public service, but that doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing.

A Tricky New Way to Sneak Past Repressive Internet Censorship
It's relatively easy -- removing any networking requirements drastically simplifies the problem. There's still some non-trivial bits that vary depending on granularity for concurrency.

It's a weekend project to demonstrate the concept, maybe a few weeks to really flesh it out and iron out quirks. I imagine if you're willing to use sqlite as a backend for persistence, it gets a bit easier.
Yes but since LLMs are a very specific application that are heavily heavily dependent on memory and there is massive investment pressure, there will be multiple newish paradigms for memory-centric computing and or other radical new approaches such as analog computing that will be pushed from research into products in the next several years.

I actually agree with you regarding the welfare essentials program, at least as far as you've described it. We would likely have some disagreement about what constitutes essentials, especially with healthcare, and I don't think the religious solution is scalable across an entire country without a theocratic government but we're in the same general camp.

There is also the cost/benefit calculus of welfare programs, where paying off some segment of society to just 'ride it out' may be more financially efficient in the long term then dealing with social unrest and decay of the commons that comes from doing nothing. I agree we need a caveat system though, since impinging further on personal freedom seems like a net loss. Free basic nutrition, if you abide by X. Education funds, if you abide by Y, healthcare if you maintain certain lifestyle choices etc.

Regarding the post script and the 'you guys' label, I'm pretty far removed from the buzzword culture described. Not sure how far this goes, but there seems to be a pretty large philosophical divide between software engineers and the traditional engineering fields.

Help Needed in Cofounder Conflict
Hello, sir. Nischal Nayak here. I'm not sure if it's right to text you, but I don't have anyone in my network to reach out to, and I've been following you from LinkedIn . I thought your advice might solve my problem.

Here's the situation: I'm building xflow, a real-time payment app for international tourists. Initially, I was working as a solo founder and tested the product in India to gather user feedback. I was also looking for a co-founder on the Y Combinator co-founder matching platform because there was too much work for me to handle alone. Just four months ago, I connected with someone, and at that time, I wasn't making much progress on anything. So, I accepted this person to help distribute work. I would focus on building the product, and he would handle distribution, sales, and raising funds.

Over the past four months, I've been trying to figure out how to test the product at scale in Thailand and India. Since there aren't many tourists in India, it's easier to test in Thailand. About a month ago, I met someone who was very interested in the idea and has been instrumental in helping us test the product in Thailand. This person has also been helping us connect with investors, craft the pitch deck, and create reasonable financial projections. He's enthusiastic about progressing quickly and has even started discussions with banks for potential collaborations. He's accomplished more in one month than the person I connected with four months ago.

The individual I partnered with four months ago has been slow to act and hasn't put in enough effort. He often claims to understand the business better than I do and criticizes my attempts, saying I did things wrong because I don't know what I'm doing. However, he hasn't made any attempts himself and claims to be investing time in devising a proper plan. When I try to address this issue, he ignores the conversation and insists that I will understand later, refusing to explain.

I believe in the philosophy of building and testing quickly to make progress. The person I met one month ago has been actively contributing and forging valuable contacts. Building and testing an MVP for enabling payments in Thailand wouldn't have been possible without his involvement.

Now, there's a conflict between the person I partnered with four months ago and the one I met a month ago. The four-month partner dislikes the newer member, but when I ask for reasons, he remains silent and simply says he doesn't like him. Despite the one-month partner's efforts to build a relationship, nothing has improved.

I've been working on this project for over a year now, and I'm facing a dilemma about what to do next. Please help
Definitely nothing in the mainstream. The closest you get is a couple of Actor-model libraries for Java and C#, but since languages weren't built from the ground up around it, you end up with a lot of jagged edges that simply don't exist in Erlang or Elixir. Outside of the functional paradigm, there are a lot of things you can express that simply cannot be translated into a distributed environment.

The other "in the same ballpark" thing that is much more mainstream is microservice architecture. They aim for the same goal, of achieving concurrency-modeled parallelism and fault tolerance by translating a system into a distributed one, but since microservices tend to be hacked together with a variety of languages with no intrinsic support for the paradigm, you end up with an "ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of
Erlang."

There's a few projects even further outside the mainstream than Erlang and Elixir that are taking a swing at it, but they're all extremely obscure, and IMO haven't yet demonstrated any novelty worth sacrificing the vast libraries available on the BEAM.

Rust isn’t functional, so if you have state that’s shared in some way you can’t expect it to be immutable unless you manage it immutably. However you are assured that you won’t need to worry about thread safety and reentrant code in rust because you are guaranteed the same memory won’t be modified or modified/read at the same time by two threads. Obviously in single threaded asynchronous code this doesn’t happen anyways.

That said, if you don’t use shared state that allows multiple borrows, you won’t see state changing between futures even in the single threaded cases due to the ownership model of rust.
You need something, but the premise of adding Kafka for this load is pretty weak. Use something you already have, because nearly anything will work.

> so I'm not sure why "I know that this will be fine" continues to beat out "I'll take 15 seconds to put on eye protection"

Complacency. When you have done something a hundred times and nothing has hit you in the eye (some things might have gotten close) then the statistics go to favor 'I won't get hit in the eye this time'. What is usually not factored in 'if I continue to do this constantly I will get hit in the eye eventually'.

This is the nature of complacency and is kind of a flip of the gambler's fallacy.
