Well if we’re on the front page of HN discussing sandwiches, bring it on.

1. Toast one side only of two slices of fresh white bread.

2. Construct a sandwich with the untoasted sides facing out.

3. Inside the sandwich place mushed banana and a sprinkle of sugar.

As you bite through you get soft, crunch, soft, crunch, soft. It’s a thing of beauty.

Another weird combo is crispy bacon and marmalade. In regular toasted bread.

Ah, sandwiches. One of the great foods. Source: I’m from the North East.

> But I've also been feeling burned a bit by Google suddenly ending services.

The products/services that “Google” the search company launches are different than “Google Cloud”. While the discontinuation of Google products is annoying it has nothing to do with Google Cloud products/services. I don’t think Google Cloud abruptly announces discontinuing products/services as they have paid customers.

Regarding Google Domains that is a Google product. The equivalent product from Google is “Google Cloud Domains” which is available to Google Cloud customers.
>This comparison seems to be not exactly fair? Amazon’s 126 million queries per second was purely for Amazon-related services serving Prime Day generating this on DynamoDB, and not all of AWS is my read.

There's no indication that google is talking about ALL of spanner either? The examples they list are all internal google services, and they specifically say "inside google".

I'm also dubious that even with all of the AWS usage accounted for that DynamoDB tops Spanner if Amazon themselves are only at 126 million queries per second on Prime Day.
it's a texture thing. most things that go into sandwiches are pretty soft, so a crunch can be a nice texture.

it also helps that they are salted, and salt is a pretty good flavor enhancer.

Not OP but I think this mainly due to the newly supported cross platform fediverse profile capability. From the article:

"Your WordPress blog can now become a profile for the fediverse. This means your readers can follow you and receive all the latest posts from your blog directly on their preferred platform. More so, they can engage in enriching conversations by replying to your posts, with their replies reflecting as comments on your blog post, creating a synchronized and interactive experience."
sounds like the real problem was lack of human review before hitting publish, not that it was AI generated.

T. Breton is talking about EUROPE's REGULATION, not freedom of speech! And it's his job...

So:

* if you live in Europe (so are submitted to Europe's Laws):

- either you're European and if you dont like European Laws you need to vote for people with different opinions,

- or you're not European and then... well... leave Europe

* if you dont live in Europe then... all this doesn't matter to you! You won't be impacted so... why commenting and trying to explain what is wrong about European Laws ?
Yes this makes sense thanks. And it does make it clearer.

The JSON parsing is actually done before the timer starts. If you look at the raw results Julia actually comes out very poorly when the JSON part is taken into account.
I used DynamoDB as part of the job a few years ago and never got single-millisecond responses - it was 20ms minimum and 70+ on a cold-start, but I can accept that optimising Dynamo's various indexes is a largely opaque process. We had to add on hacks like setting the request timeout to 5ms and keeping the cluster warm by submitting a no-op query every 500ms to keep it even remotely stable. We couldn't even use DAX because the Ruby client didn't support it. At the start we only had a couple of thousand rows in the table so it would have legit been faster to scan the entire table and do the rest in memory. Postgres did it in 5ms.

If Amazon said they didn't use DAX that day I would say they were lying.

The average consumer or startup is not going to squeeze out the performance of Dynamo that AWS is claiming that they have achieved.

In fact, it might have been fairer in Ruby if they didn't hard-code the net client (Net/HTTP). I imagine performance could have been boosted by injecting an alternative.

When writing anything new, I have been mainly choosing Rust and Go:

Rust when performance is critical, type safety is important, work is low-level, or the project is expected to be big or long-lasting.

Go for easy, cross-platform "scripting": standard library does most of what is needed. Super-fast build. Easy deployment with just a binary. Can even embed files if needed.
I encourage everyone interested to check out Dr. Bruce Greyson's book After. It's a scientific look at various NDE cases. This study mentions patients being unable to identify images on an ipad, but the book mentions other cases where patients were indeed able to describe imagery they wouldn't have otherwise been able to observe. I find NDEs to be a real frontier of science, no matter what's actually happening - whether it's hallucination or real consciousness outside of the body (e.g. nonduality, Advaita, etc). Fun stuff!

Traffic dropped 1% when NPR left Twitter, ok. But I'm curious how much incoming traffic is still from Twitter?

There's probably still tons of people posting & resharing NPR links, and these posts are probably more interesting for being social/organic references. If my friend links an article and says a couple blurbs, I'm way more likely to want to see what it is that excites them.
Airsoft and needle felting. Not at the same time of course.

Airsoft is great because it is equal parts kick-ass and camping, it's also exercise disguised as fun.

Needle felting is a more creative outlet that can also be done while watching TV or listening to music. More relaxing for sure.

There is also a large set of algorithms for adversarial search problems, such as playing board games, that traditionally don't use machine learning. Minimax is the simplest one, and then there are negamax, alpha-beta pruning, negascout, etc. I believe Stockfish (the world's strongest chess program, or close to it) has actually improved its evaluation function using machine learning, but this is a fairly recent development.
It works for existing satellite messengers, and some of these are smaller and lighter than typical smartphones – and some even talk to geostationary satellites. These are almost 36000 km further away than your typical cell tower!

It’s all a question of data rates, transmit power, encoding, and (mostly in the geostationary case) large antennas on the satellite end.

Either way can work. Getting to millions of messages is going to be the hard part, not storing them.

As with all data storage, the question is usually how do you want to access that data. I don't have experience with Postgres, but a lot of (older) experience with MySQL, and MySQL makes a pretty reasonable key-value storage engine, so I'd expect Postgres to do ok at that too.

I'm a big fan of pushing the messages to the clients, so the server is only holding messages in transit. Each client won't typically have millions of messages or even close, so you have freedom to store things how you want there, and the servers have more of a queue per user than a database --- but you can use a RDBMS as a queue if you want, especially if you have more important things to work on.
Does Google Cloud Spanner use the Spanner database per the 2013 paper? Or does Google simply use the brand and implement a cheaper and more performant db under the hood? I suspect it is the latter because most companies do not need global consistency anyway, so it may make sense to relax parts of what Spanner was originally built for.

You'd need a few different ones, just like curl itself uses a lot of 3rd-party libraries to provide its full feature set.

Some likely first choices would be hyper (http client/server), rustls (encryption), tokio (async scheduling). The Rust ecosystem is quite rich in protocols and codecs, it shouldn't be too hard to find most (all ?) of the crates you need, but there's still work needed to bring them together into one curl-like tool.

Note that Rust crates tend to be more focused than what you're used to in C, made to be composed together instead of used as a one-stop-lib. So your dependency tree would look much bigger than curl's.
The sample pool is relatively small for such a research.

At first I thought this is more about a study or glimpse into the other side but it's about "how dead is a person really?".

Awareness of death? No!, but maybe non-functional brain where the sensory data is no longer being processed.

In the case of yelling fire, the illegal action would be commiting assault and murder against another person.

When yelling fire without a compelling reason, a reasonable person would anticipate everyone else's standard reaction, and that in the course of that action injury and/or death might occur.

Which is why culpability in the US depends on the speaker's intent. What if I believed I smelled smoke and yelled "Fire" because of that? But was simply wrong?

Unfortunately, intent is impossible to prove definitively, without actually peering into someone else's mind. Thus, can of worms.

You can compare the database schema in source control against what's been deployed, and automatically generate deployment scripts.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/sqlpackage/sqlpa...

The APIs were historically part of Visual Studio, and only split out into dacfx recently.

Someone braver than me could consider automated deployment from github actions etc.

The hard part is that a lot of database schema changes cause data truncation (e.g. reducing the size of a column or re-ordering columns).

You still need someone to review the generated code if it throws an error for potential data loss.
> such that 32-bit instructions are still perfectly aligned.. no?

Nope, 32-bit insns are naturally aligned if you don't use C but only 16-bit aligned if the C extension is present. So a single insn can indeed cross a cacheline or page boundary. This would be fixed if C insns "always came in pairs" (at the expense of some extra C.NOP's) but they don't. (Though this could be made an optional extension of its own.)

> But can they? Is that supported by the standard?

C has always been an optional extension, and when not using it you free up that part of the encoding space. Additionally, the 3 blocks of encoding space that make up C are largely self-contained so the extension itself could be split up, which would allow for freeing plenty of space while still keeping most of the benefit of compression.
But we never need to prove the general case, only specific cases. The general case includes an infinite number of inputs, but in reality there is only a finite number of states a physical computer can have (the number of states far exceeds the number of atoms in the universe, but it is still finite)

I agree - it always just sounds like a heavy psychedelic experience like 5-meo or high-doses of mushrooms etc.

But then again, part of the beauty of the psychedelic realization of the 'flimsy nature of perceived reality' is also realizing that our non-intoxicated / non-NDE mental state is also not necessarily 'true reality' either.

So IMO still plenty of room for ghosts in the machines :)

Yes, it's essentially these regulations that make MVNOs possible.
Ah this does make sense. I'm guessing that when the sending machine starts a new TCP connection to another machine, the reciever sees that it is a TCP message and starts a TCP "session" (I'm not sure that's correct terminology) which maintains required state on its side and sender maintains its own state too?

Every time I've tried to use Pascal (with Lazarus/FPC) I find myself incredibly confused as to the proper way to download and version packages. Separate project? Using Lazarus package manager? Git submodule?
One huge difference between C and Pascal grammars us that Pascal is LR(1), so it can be parsed easily, which helps one-pass translation. It also helps humans read it.

C, on the other hand, has needlessly complicated syntax; a function definition is hard to detect, and a pointer to a function is hard to interpret, because it's literally convoluted: https://c-faq.com/decl/spiral.anderson.html

Sadly, this is a general stylistic difference: where Pascal tries to go for clarity, C makes do with cleverness, which is more error-prone.

Postgres. NoSQL databases are specialized databases. They are best-in-class at some things, but generally that specialization came at great cost to their other options. DynamoDB is an amazing key-value store, but is severely limited at everything else. Elasticsearch is an amazing for search and analytics, but is severely limited at everything else. Other specialized databases that are SQL-full are also great at what they do, like Spark is a columnar database that has amazing capabilities for massive datasets where you need lots of cross-joins, but that severely limits it's ability to act in a lot of roles, because they traded latency for throughput and horizontal scalability, and you're restricted in what you can do with it.

The super-power of Postgres is that it supports everything. It's a best-in-class relational database, but it's also a decent key-value store, it's a decent full-text search engine, it's a decent vector database, it's a decent analytics engine. So if there's a chance you want to do something else, Postgres can act as a one-stop-shop and doesn't suck at anything but horizontal scaling. With partitioning improving, you can deal with that pretty well.

If you're writing fresh, there is basically no reason not to use Postgres to start with. It's only when you already know your scale won't work with Postgres that you should reach for a specialized database. And if you think you know because of published wisdom, I'd recommend you set up your own little benchmark, generate the volume of data you want to support, and then query it with Postgres and see if that is fast enough for you. It probably will be.
Even in a serious situation, there's value in being able to coordinate with would-be rescuers.

I've done both and there are plenty of opportunities. If you're going to specialize in maintenance, the skills you need aren't so much in any particular legacy technology (in fact, you need to be ready to dive in and work with whatever they have and act like you like it. :) What you really need, is skills for exploring a new code base, figuring out what it does, and how best to modify it. If you can do that, you're golden.

That is true, in fact directionality is actually harder to achieve in higher tones (everyone remember those mosquito ring tones that went around a little over a decade ago?) When the wavelength gets very small your ears have less and less information to distinguish which ear is receiving the signal first, other than the brute force which ear actually heard it first calculation. Distinguishing waveforms becomes near impossible at high enough frequencies. It's interesting though that a low enough frequency might also be difficult to distinguish due to there being not enough information rather than too much. If the waveform is as long as a room how much difference is there really across the size of a head.
