So your other reply got flagged which I thought was a little harsh (I mean you were pushing it but who am I to talk).

If you’re not convinced about sentiment analysis on e.g. LLaMA 2, I think you’re wrong, but maybe I’m wrong.

Not to mention YAML itself purports to be human friendly. Otherwise the config files would have been JSON or something else.
I’m saying that organizations can, in fact, write safety critical code. One wheel does not need to account specifically for pedestrians crossing the road, but it does need to behave properly under a wider variety of conditions than a spacecraft or launch vehicle. Give it a decade with a half dozen teams working to making the code correct, and I think you could get there.

I am inclined to think that a commercial entity cannot reliably write safety critical code for a primary income driver. You need different financial incentives and probably a different organizational structure for this to work.

At the risk of derailing my point in minutiae, I suspect Waymo will ultimately deliver safe self-driving technology sooner than Tesla, for example.
You linked to what I wrote :)

It seemed like vernon99 was talking about nosediving from a complete stop(trying to go from motor off -> motor engaged but the motor doesn’t engage), whereas in the post you linked to, I was talking about starting from having the motor engaged already at a low speed (ie <5mph slowly moving back and forth waiting for a light) and then the power would just drop out.

Same result, but likely different causes.
Why would you? Just use Excel as a database. Unless you have big data, then maybe Postrgresql.
BerkeleyDB existed before Redis, LevelDB, and Git and was widely used as a database. SVN originally used BDB as its storage layer (but switched when people complained it was too hard to build BDB).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB contains people-decades of hard-won experience on how to build a simple database system. I would consider SQLite, itself 20+ years old now, the intellectual heir of BDB.

It was as true then as it was today: very few people should write databases for production.

I ride electric unicycles and I have a question about these OneWheels: when you are rolling, the wheel self balances, right? And when you are reaching the power limitations of the board, does it let you know of this in any way?
The EUC will either tiltback (the wheel will literally stop you from leaning even more, so you are forced to lean man) or it will beep very loudly for several seconds, before it finally cuts off either because you fried the board or because the wheel is protecting itself.
>> I’d highly recommend looking for folders with Gates drives.

Back in '07 I was working in automotive electric steering systems and the design called for a belt between motor and ball-nut. I was shocked the safety analysis was OK with that, but the durability and test data said it would be fine. We used Gates belts. I've never heard of any problem with those systems which are 15 years old now. Apparently their belts are of top notch reliability.

If a chute doesn't open because of a manufacturing defect, that creates liability for the manufacturer, too.
My hope is that managed data layers become more available and the problem space of "custom data structures and indexes" can be decoupled from the even harder parts of writing a database.

Projects like pgrx (postgres extensions in rust) are starting to make it much more approachable to do so.

A little lower level: build on FoundationDB. (Projects like mvsqlite are super interesting here).

In both cases, we don't yet have fully managed providers. RDS seems to be flirting with opening up the extension ecosystem with trusted languages. I haven't seen any managed foundationdb offerings though.

Thanks for answering. I agree the naming in this case is unintuitive. A book will probably never be complete, for CSS or any web standards, as all of them are “living standards” at this point. But I’ve found MDN to be an excellent resource.

As far as hacks, this would eliminate the need for one (or a set of them). As for memorization… well, I’ll put it this way: as CSS has grown more capable, I’ve forgotten more hacks—probably far more—than the remaining CSS I still need to know.

I’m sure this doesn’t make CSS more appealing to you. It’s still complex, by necessity. But it is definitely learnable, arguably now more than it ever was.
I am glad, I won't miss this feature. This will also mean there is less adoption of the new stanard and so the old standard will be kept around for longer. ATSC 3 was guaranteed to fail the moment it intoduced DRM into the standard. This is the situation with HD Radio all over again.

The DRM and patents effectively destroyed the value and purpose of having an open standard, for consumers. It's what gave spotify and google music room to kill radio and now online streaming will do the same to broadcast TV.

Even with live events and sports, Amazon has started live streaming thursday night football on Twitch, you only need prime to watch. Youtube and Twitch are also creating a new way to consume the content, adding interactability. A charity recent soccer match that included major content creators had 1.3m average live viewers, 2.5m+ peak on Youtube.

This was eventually going to happen, but these decisions accelerate it. The concept of being limited by tv "channels" has already started to feel foreign to me.
I think it's pretty obvious that they're discouraging the impulse to implement a database for your job, not for just playing around and learning.
I skated a TON in high school and college, pretty much spent my entire summers skating. Gave it up when I turned “professional.”

When my son was born (about 10 years later) I had a brief crisis of self and thought “you know what would make me feel like myself again? Skating.”

Took me about a month but proceeded to snap my wrist, made it hard to change diapers for a few weeks so it was uh… decided in our household that I’d finally let it go for good.

Thought about getting a OneWheel but to your exact point, am 99% sure user and/or mechanical error would cause me to crack my head open. After reading about this recall, I’m definitely not ever getting one.

Sorry, but it's obvious that you are. This discussion is not about Git but about Tesla's history of harassment, racism, and overall bigotry, and the thread you're commenting on is clearly about the usage of inclusive language instead of legacy non-inclusive terms. I feel you're playing dumb and disingenuous to pretend it's suddenly about Git, which is really not cool or contributing positively to the discussion.

If CSS is no different from a programming language, then why tf aren't we using JS for styling already? Instead we're adding to CSS in the course of 25 years without any mental discipline. And also add to JS.

CSS was once supposed to be a style language for laymen (including readers!). Citing from the CSS level 1 specification:

> This document specifies level 1 of the Cascading Style Sheet mechanism (CSS1). CSS1 is a simple style sheet mechanism that allows authors and readers to attach style (e.g. fonts, colors and spacing) to HTML documents.

At the end of the day (or mid-century), newer generations have to maintain the CSS circus, and I don't see that happening. Especially with "web developers" having captured the web for themselves, as you're saying.
That's impressive !

Does anybody can point me toward good sources about costs of maintaining those solar / wind / hydro installations ? I'm thinking about the solar panels, which I always thought have a limited lifetime (apparently it's getting much better). Is this viable in the long term ?
> Unfortunately, Portugal has some of the highest prices for electricity in Europe thanks to taxes. According to Eurostat, we pay €0.2246 per kWh here which is 22% higher than in the UK.

It's more like £0.30=€0.35, which is going down to £0.27=€0.31, which is a lot higher than €0.22. Probably using data from before Feb 2022.
Hmmmmm... that's a good point. Maybe shift-cmd-w should close tabs, and cmd-w the entire application. I like how other applications ask you if you want to exit when you hit cmd-w, I leave that turned on when I can.
60mm 79a skateboard wheels here. I go over gravel all the time. Sometimes even loose dirt paths. Patchy asphalt. Cobblestones and brick. Momentum is your friend here as well, faster you go more likely the board chucks out the obstruction. It takes quite a stone to stop these wheels, probably one that would pinch flat my bike inner tube and certainly one that would be very hard to miss unless I was not paying attention. I'm comfortable enough with the small rock situation to even eat breakfast or lunch on occasion while on the board.

I highly encourage folks to check out a new DAW called Blockhead. It upends a lot of typical ideas of how a DAW should work. There’s no MIDI events and no global tempo.

Everything is represented as blocks of samples on rows of timelines which are then effected by transforms placed on the rows above the rows containing samples. Edits and transform adjustments all happen in real time, and everything is continuously rendered to a scratch buffer that can also be dragged in to the project as a new block of samples.

It is truly a very creative approach and when you see it you will be wondering why nobody tried this approach before. The developer, Colugo, has a new video on YouTube showing how it’s main features work.

Every language website should have an example or 2 on the homepage. Show me the code/syntax, and add an explanation if you need to but stop with the feature lists. If it can't explain itself then... I don't know.
Audacity is not more convenient. Not by a mile. Voice actors have tons of workflows that only a DAW can help with.
You think it's too much or too little? Sun availability didn't matter much in Spain until recently, as the country finally got rid of the "sun tax" that limited the development of wide-spread solar panel usage. Essentially, even if you used solar panels, you'd be taxed on every kWh produced, even from your own solar panels. Luckily, they got rid of it, so probably the development will ramp up a bit from now on.

> I can find someone on LinkedIn who can manage my Azure logging infrastructure are infinitely greater than finding someone who has experience with my custom logger's private repository

Why not do something standard with no platform lock-in?

We do structured logging and push them to an Elastic stack with fluentd. For now we use an Elastic we deployed on a Linux VM but 1) we can move at any time, either from cloud provider, or stop using Elastic if we want to, and 2) we can probably find more people who can manage that than whatever Azure solution you’re using

I see no reason for getting locked in for something like logs. We actually did that with AWS Cloudwatch at some point and it was a horrible experience
The last storm I was in had people replying all to tell people to not reply all, followed by people replying all to shame the people who replied telling people not to reply all.

Followed by others replying all asking how to mute the conversation, and others replying all with instructions. Multiple times. Which prompted more people to reply all commenting on the increasing recursion of the absurdity of the whole thing.

So you'd get fed up and mute the chain and think you'd think you'd killed the process, but any time someone changed the email subject line and replied all again it came back like a bad penny. Which caused more people to angrily reply all with vulgarities, which caused supervisors to reply all that their behavior was being noted and disciplinary meetings would be had.

And then one day, someone replied-all to one of the child email chains with the entire script of The Bee Movie. Which launched more of all of the above. And did the same thing to every other child email chain, sporadically, for a few months. I think it took over half a year for the last reply-all to quiet down.

I think at least one of those chains lives on for posterity in one of my folders, and now you tempt me...
This is one of those situations where I think it makes loads of sense for the product to have open source software. I guess it would make clones easier but I hear there’s already third party open source code for onewheels so they can’t prevent it. But if the mainline code was open source, some engineer would spend three weeks chasing down these bugs and submitting patches and everyone would benefit. Instead, they ship buggy code and put users and their business at risk. The business world has this attitude that proprietary closed source systems should always be the default, and open source needs justification. And further the business types tend not to know very much about open source, so they stick to what they know. But I don’t think these assumptions really make a lot of sense, as open source would help so many issues we see today, even from the business’s perspective.

A classic case is the breakup of Alcoa aluminum, whose "offense" was to supply aluminum to its customers at lower prices and larger quantities than any of its competitors. The breakup both raised prices and reduced quantities, making things worse for customers.

It's just a twitter take, overcompressed and lacking nuance. By all means write a toy database for learning purposes, but in 99+% of cases you should probably then turn around and use the ones with tens of thousands of engineering hours poured into their correctness properties when you want to put something into production.
I'd invert that and say "If you can't write clear documentation, quickly, on a low-code component, then it shouldn't be a low-code component."

There are many things that low-code should never be used for.

But there are a lot of things it can be. E.g. IFTTT type stuff

OK I learned a bit today- I didn't realize transistors were considered "active", or that dynamic logic was uncommon.

Vonada's engineering maxims are pretty scary to me- an amateur hobbyist soldering various chips together to build simple projects like "a rotary encoding controlling a binary counter visualized with LEDs". I spend many hours soldering and carefully debugging every individual component, and when I integrate, spend many more hours debugging why something doesn't work. The failures are almost always because I did something dumb, like wiring up VCC and GND backward, I honestly don't know that I'd be able to debug "When all but one wire in a group of wires switch, that one will switch also." in my binary counter's inputs or outputs.
Regardless of reputation, it's wild that a country's government can even consider putting something as critical as its entire citizenry's health data in the hands of a foreign company. It takes one national security letter from the white house and the entire UK is compromised.

Two wrongs making a right here sort of weird. The local channels around me have started becoming available on online streaming services. Once that really occurs the lines between streaming / cable / terrestrial video are going to keep on blurring. Streaming services that have transformed streaming into more like a cable model don't seem to be sustainable though so it begs the question what will be the future.
They are fold able but certainly more clumsy when I see them on the train. Also a lot more expensive and yet another thing you gotta charge and eventually replace a battery for. Its also a 30lb hunk of metal still, not everyone can comfortably tote that up and down train station steps all day. Most people I see don't even fold their escooter on the train just hold the handle, roll it in and have the tail out and let people deal with stepping over it. Makes me think transit as we know it wouldn't even work if everyone got one of these things or an ebike and took up so much extra space as a result.
