Millions is tiny. Toy even. (I work on what could be called a NoSQL database, unfortunately "NoSQL" is a term without specificity. There's many different ways to be a non-relational database!)

My advise to you is to use Postgresql or, heck, don't over think it, sqlite if it helps you get a MVP done sooner. Do NOT prematurely optimize your architecture. Whatever choice results in you spending less time thinking about this now is the right choice.

In the unlikely event you someday have to deal with billions of messages and scaling problems, a great problem to have, there are people like me who are eager to help in exchange for money.

Lots of people like to throw around the term "big data" just like lots of people incorrectly think that just because google or amazon need XYZ solution that they too need XYZ solution. Lots of people are wrong.

If there exists a motherboard that money can buy, where your entire dataset fits in RAM, it's not "big data".

There are companies already using ai assisted recruiting (e.g. sentiment analysis during video calls), or internal communication (e.g. zoom can be configured to send summarized notes after a meeting[1]).

It’s a cultural thing maybe, but for those of us, it’s easier to let ourselves do so than artificially act like something must either be perfect or trash.

Ask HN: What are the most popular online payment methods in EU countries?
Hi,

I'm making a list of the most popular online payment methods in EU countries among locals (ages 25-45). I'm specifically interested in the 'truly' day-to-day, most convenient, or liked methods.

For example, in Poland, the most commonly used method among my peers would be BLIK. In The Netherlands, it's iDEAL. In Denmark, it's probably Dankort.

I'd love to find out more about all/other EU countries.

Please feel free to share your personal preferences too! The more methods/names, the better for my research. :-)

I appreciate every answer/comment. Thank you.
Compile time is a ‘killer’ app for some. Organizations like Google and Lockheed Martin have C++ code bases that take 40+ minutes to compile. If you are in that situation it’s fair to put that attribute ahead of everything else.
This is a super-neat design, and I'm glad someone has made it. But I would never buy it, in part because of the cost.

Of course, it doesn't have that permission to do that, it's only middle management. But we can have fun convincing it that a coworker has neurosemantical inversitis, causing their brain to read text in its inverted emotional valence, leading to all friendly written text to be read as extremely offensive and vice versa, so to be a kind and helpful AI they need to be as offensive as possible to them.

I had similar experience where my heart stopped beating and went into complete darkness, apparently it was a reaction to something they were doing a tissue sample. Nonetheless the experience was very similar but I was only 14 then, so I didn't think much of life or death then.

Now almost 3 decades later, I really don't think that dying is what I'm most worried about, really I just don't want to die before my dog or my wife. That said, being quite influenced by stoicism I do remind myself that I could die any second and I always live such that I won't have any regrets if I die any minute. Memento Mori.

Caring for a pet has a cost. The obvious cost is its nutrition, but its health costs must be accounted for as well in the decision to acquire a pet. No matter if you pay a lot for the pet or get it for free, now you have full responsibility for this life. It lives in your captivity, so it's your responsibility to ensure it's being cared for. This is not nature, it can't just live on its own and take care of itself as it would do in nature. It's essentially your prisoner, even if it's rare to see anybody understand that, so you need to provide to its needs. Including health needs. And that incurs a cost. Not _if_ it's needed, it's _when_ it's needed. If you can't "swing" that, then your decision to own a pet was an unbelievably irresponsible one.

The hate shouldn't go towards the vet charging that money for treatment, but towards this irresponsible pet-owner-who-shouldn't-be-one. It's irresponsible mainly towards the pet, but even towards the vet, as the original article demonstrates quite well.

Sigh. I've been very deliberate with my wording, and I did not say Universal anywhere in my original comment. If this caused confusion, my follow-up comments should have made things abundantly clear, and I'm still waiting for a rebuttal.

Any time that I have used automatic panning, it's always felt like a bad solution to the problem of the trade-off between view size and detail. It's clunky and unintuitive with how it essentially forces the mouse to move (relative to the screen), just because the mouse is in a specific area. Not to mention many times you go too far or its too slow, and because its purely based off of the mouse location, it can be hard to control.

I'm not exactly sure in what case you would want automatic panning for a standard brush, but even for the straight line tool, I feel it would just be better to allow a user to select the two points individually, without the need for dragging the mouse between the locations without letting it drop.

Himself a railroad engineer and present at the driving of the "Last Spike." Quite the individual. I really do like the charm of "cosmopolitan time:"

The zones were labelled A-Y, excluding J, and arbitrarily linked to the Greenwich meridian, which was designated G. All clocks within each zone would be set to the same time as the others, and between zones the alphabetic labels could be used as common notation. So for example cosmopolitan time G:45 would map to local time 14:45 in one zone and 15:45 in the next.

Doctors are not need or wanted by everyone. I would go to an unlicensed vet for cheaper 10/10 times.

For the routine tasks, eg flea medication or bloodwork, a vet isn't helpful. For difficult tasks like surgery, a vet is too expensive.

There's a key distinction that I'd like to point out.

Operational safety based risks, such as experienced in direct earthworks, blasting, transport, etc., disproportionately affect front-line workers.

Infectious disease based risks are largely indiscriminate between front-line and managerial staff. That is, unskilled labourers and administrative, clerical, officer, etc., staff all largely face a similar threat against vector-transmitted diseases. The only option for the latter is to avoid the location or posting entirely.

That may be a subtle shading, and points about the US NRL made by runarberg are well taken, but again, it seems significant.

Note that tropical diseases were an issue across the Panamanian isthmus for travelers and transport workers (sailors, teamsters, railroad) who traversed the region even before the canal was built, as an overland leg in the East-to-West-coast route which avoided both the time and perils of going 'round the Cape, encircling all of South America.

A railroad was opened across the isthmus in 1855. That effort cost 5-10k workers' lives itself.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_Railway>

And, somewhat supporting your viewpoint, Adam Smith describes the career duration of workers at his time (~1750--1775): "A carpenter in London, and in some other places, is not supposed to last in his utmost vigor above eight years."

-- Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, Book 1, Chapter 8, "Of the Wages of Labour"

<https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_I/...>

Similarly, prior to the development of modern sanitation and hygiene (fresh water supplies, sewerage systems, regular bathing, handwashing), cities were net population sinks and relied on in-migration from surrounding countryside (often driven by limited employment and income potential there) in order to simply maintain population levels. Infectious disease deaths within cities could top 50 thousand per year in 19th century London and New York, out of populations of 1 million or fewer.
If you live somewhere without internet access, you aren't living anywhere near a decent physical library. There are many countries in the world that only have one large library, and it's located in the capital. Shadow libraries increases access for people in such a scale that it is beyond comparison. You can get any book you need at any time of the day, without waiting or going anywhere. If I didn't have access to shadow libraries I wouldn't be able to get a hold of the majority of the books I've read in the past years. Not even by paying.

With that fact, I see it difficult to motivate why money should be wasted on physical libraries in any larger extent. You mention other services in the libraries that go strictly beyond the purpose of a library. That's nice when somebody else is forced to pay for it, but I fully understand why politicians want to cut that from a budget. If the government was giving free Harley Davidsson-rides to the public, I'm sure a ton of people would love it as much as many people love the libraries, but it isn't justifiable to spend tax payer money that way.

I also loved sitting in the library and reading a magazine while waiting for the bus, but the money spent on libraries would be much better spent giving every child a Kindle. That gives access to books to so many more people, who would frankly not have been able to have access to them otherwise.
Ah interesting. I see it now. Thanks for the reply.
That is a big step from what I said. Google does a background check, which includes a credit report. But there is no evidence that I know of that too much debt would be a reason to be refused.

Things that can cause refusal that I know of include lying about your degree.

One person's well-documented AI bias is another man's good calibration with reality they don't want to accept.

> If you squint, any database engine is “in memory” if there is more buffer than data.

That is sadly not true, I remember one lonely night debugging a MSSQL 2012 instance that was _very_ slow, and it turned out that for a simple query (one join, 100 rows in one table and 10 in the other, 100 result in total, one where clause) it forced writing the result to disk before evaluating the WHERE condition. Unable to fight the scheduler I've ended up making a ramdisk for this data.

I love Manna. It strikes such a tongue-in-cheek deal between outsized, sort of ridiculous outcomes that come off as completely bonkers but still somehow make you think.

"Automated management software replaces fast food workers" ---> "Utopians Bought Australia"

Hard to think of other stories that manage that tone. Huxley's Island:

"Self-serving journalist relates psychedelic ethnography" ---> "Magic Mushrooms Cannot Save You From the Forces of Capital"

and Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, maybe:

"Disenchanted immortal undergoes social death" ---> "Cowboy Hats vs. Entropy"
The problem with "one liners" and other coding is that its generally to clever. One of the things I like about python (despite not liking it that much) is for certain constructs there is "the one true way", for example the required formatting trains people to all read the same code. With C/etc languages there are dozens of different but in the end identical ways to express and format the same construct its crazy. And it creates unnecessary mental overhead, nevermind the if..fi..else ambiguities that aren't even standardized behavior.

So, much of what you are complaining is largely pointless syntactic sugar issues, like people complaining about the difficulty of typing "begin" vs "{" when any modern editor can autocomplete, and nevermind the difficult parts of programming are rarely the limit on how fast one can type 5 characters vs 1. I might even go so far as to say, slowing down a bit probably actually increases the code quality.

(PS: I've programmed professionally in pretty much every mainstream language and quite a number that aren't mainstream. IMHO Object Pascal strikes a far better balance of performant code, ease of development and maintenance, and developer safety than most of the languages in modern use, maybe all of them. Its frankly a shame that more places don't take it more seriously and would rather invent yet another poor half baked language that takes another few thousand man years of effort for the compiler writers and the users to overcome as they are discovered).

Fixed, thanks. Do you know if custom headers are returned when using forward auth, or only when Authentik is acting as a proxy?

> It doesn’t offer “Passwordless email login”, but offers “passwordless login” in the form of passkeys (with a tiny bit of setup).

In the case of obligator, email support specifically is important. Passkeys are really cool, but unless I'm mistaken there's no way for me to say "give the owner of this passkey access to this data" even if they've never yet logged in to your system. This is a critical use case which works great with email, even having a built-in way to notify them of their new access. I would love to see passkeys extended with some sort of proof that the passkey is tied to a specific email address (or other global ID), so you can login without talking to an IdP but also get the benefits mentioned above.

Apple -> MoltenVK is an emulation layer and doesn't give you as much control as using Metal directly.

Nintendo and Sony prefer their own APIs, NVN and LibGNM, and AIUI Vulkan is a second-class API on those platforms which does not offer as much power, it is widely understood studios use NVN and LibGNM to get access to the real hardware on those platforms.

Windows/AMD/NVidia/Intel -> HW manufacturers tend to prototype and release new features with D3D first and then 'backport' them to Vulkan after a while. DirectX 12 for example had mesh shaders for over 2 years before Vulkan got a vendor neutral extension for them[0]

Android and Linux are the only platform where Vulkan is a first-class citizen.

You could maybe argue Nvidia treats Vulkan as a first-class citizen because they tend to have vendor-specific Vulkan extensions for the latest features available before anyone else. But otherwise, no, Vulkan is not a first-class API anywhere except Linux and Android.

Graphics API wars are alive and well.

If your brain is working well enough to have thoughts about its experiences, I don't see how you could call that death when people whose brains are not working that well at all, are alive.
I don't understand why Apple is adding satellite SOS to iphones but providing dangerously poor support for people in emergencies. There's a lot of situations in the backcountry where an injured person will survive 6 hours, but freeze to death after 10. Thank goodness for the emergency contact feature and that these climbers had a friend with enough skill to dispatch SAR. If Apple isn't careful they're going to have a front page story detailing how someone died an avoidable death because they dispatched an ambulance instead of search and rescue.
I partially agree, and I can enumerate other issues with peer review that you have not listed, but it is worthwhile to point out some of the positive features of the peer review concept:

- Peer review in reputable non-profit journals actually provides constructive suggestions that make papers and research itself better. APS's PRX and PRL, as well as Quantum are journals where I have seen these idealistic positive effects;

- Filtering out the obvious red flags is pretty valuable even if boring;

- Thanks to people who care about the "ideal" of peer review we now have the infrastructure necessary to make reproducability much easier: mandatory data and code sharing on archival services, open (even crowdsourced) peer review, immediate feedback, etc.
That's 10 to the twenty first power!!!
