I built a simple observability tool for key data assets in a data warehouse. It's a python monitor you add to a given table, it checks that table daily and tells you when there is an issue & which rows introduced that issue.
We used static testing framework like great expectations but that was not enough. We did not have the budget for the big data observability players like Monte Carlo, so we kept it simple.

Because I hate myself I guess, I use zsh as my interactive shell, but generally write scripts for bash. The latter is mostly for portability (although with Macs stuck on 3.2 unless updated manually, that’s less true over time), and also because shellcheck doesn’t work on zsh.

This means I get to remember an increasingly unfortunate amount of differences. I’ll add this one to the pile, thanks.
Not really.

Google killed off their "Physical Web" integration which means that people need to install a specific app if they want to interact with the beacons.

If you want to track visitors (and have the requisite privacy policy) then Cisco and others will sell you an AP which tracks people using their phones.

QR codes are booming though. Cheap to set up and easy to use.
In Hong Kong, this is mostly true, BYD used to suck with lots of EVs breaking down ~5 years ago and there were a LOT less charging stations; their cars have improved dramatically since then.

Uh huh.

And what suspicious thing about the network would you be detecting for Tor Browser users arriving on the .onion? Their network is uniform as far as you can tell, and you are blocking them from opening either a free account without an invasive verification method (non-disposable email or phone) if it works at all, or a paid account without an invasive payment method.

For Tor users arriving on proton.me, what sense is there in saying "There's a surprise in every 100th exit node! If you cycle through enough of them maybe you too will be allowed to open an account anonymously!" Not treating them as equivalent to .onion visitors is a you problem.

> It takes a while for the Bitcoin transaction to come through, which is why we the process is the way it is.

By not allowing this payment option at all in the signup flow? Removing what would be the only way for Tor users to sign up to your service anonymously without beating lottery odds. Just use any normal off-the-shelf checkout page that waits for however many transaction confirmations you want! (Let's not even get into the lack of privacy coin support, e.g. Monero. For a privacy focused service, Bitcoin L1 only is substandard in 2023.)

Meanwhile, whenever people are concerned about user data being handed over to the authorities again, you counter by pointing out the supposed Tor support: https://web.archive.org/web/20210906132309/https://protonmai...

I'm not saying you are a honeypot. I'm saying you've cultivated such a careless indifference to data minimization that you've become indistinguishable from one.
I already start to visualize the new crawler service that will put a date on articles that first appear on the web. Since everyone suck up to the seo demon. Yes, I want to be the first, yes, look how shiny I am and I was published right now, not 3 years back. Instead of making a new feature:

hello, I'm the shiny new search, and what I offer is that whenever I have found 250 articles that perfectly solve your problem for a search term, I round robin these on the "first page" and you decide which one to choose from the offered ones. This way everyone has an equal opportunity to get some views plus nobody has to do these mating dances to get on the front page.

What a brave new world!
This is missing the point so badly that I don't know where to begin. The point was that Elon Musk's political views are neither extremist, nor rare: they are shared by roughly half of the people in the US. To take that statement and try to refute it on the basis that it is not exactly half of the voting population, but merely a rough approximation, is either a sign of incredibly ill will, or a very bad case of autism.
Not so far? Maybe once people start using them in large numbers or buying cheap knockoffs of mass produced laser zappers on amazon we'll see a bunch of fire deaths or other injuries (lasers in the eyeball?), but in theory they would be safer.

Maybe it is just early in the morning for me, but I am not confident that I understand why Paul switched the roles in the concluding statement of the essay.

> Similarly, if someone says they can think of things that are true but that cannot be said, it's only polite to take them at their word, even if you can't think of any yourself.

That statement suggests to me that the responsibility of being polite should fall on those in the orthodox privileged demographic when challenged by those claiming that there are truths that cannot be safely spoken. It seems flipped around from the rolls expressed in the body of the essay, and that has me confused. How would they know to be polite? How is this actually a solution?
I'd honestly track his statements down to the second.
Meh, everything's converged on https now, unless you're loading from file (in which case you probably know already). With any other scheme, the browser is going to pop up a massive DANGER WILL ROBINSON that you have to click through.

Arrays store just the pointers to their values, storing them inline isn't
supported, like so:

ptr to array --> array
header
size
capacity
[
val1 ptr --> val1
val2 ptr --> val2
]

At some point I'd like to support stack allocated values as an optimization,
including the ability to allocate values directly into arrays, but that's not a
priority at this point.

It's just being human. Everyone "surrenders" to conformity in some way, shape or form. In some aspects of life you will be part of an in-group, in others you may lean towards non-conformity. Nothing to do with "temptation" here.
Of course the issue is more complex than just one cause, but anti-nuclear sentiment plays a huge role:

--- start quote ---

Following the 2011 Fukushima I nuclear accidents, an OpinionWay poll at the end of March found that 57% of the French population were opposed to nuclear energy in France.[119] A TNS-Sofres poll in the days following the accident found 55% in favour of nuclear power.[119] In 2006, BBC/GlobeScan poll found 57% of the French opposed to nuclear energy.[120]

In May 2001, an Ipsos poll found that nearly 70% of the population had a 'good opinion' of nuclear power, however 56% also preferred not to live near a nuclear plant and the same proportion thought that a 'Chernobyl-like accident' could occur in France

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France#Public...

--- end quote ---

It's also one of the major reasons why no new nuclear reactors appeared in France after 2000, and why the government would neglect the existing reactors.
> There's no indication that these results mean anything about the effects on skin.

I didn't claim that, but I think it was a combination of the temperature and the (rinse) spray. One could feel the spray.

Could be, as curl comes preinstalled in Windows, MacOS and most of the linux distributions (non-minimal installations). But I don't think Android ships curl per default, but Android uses Java. Though I don't think there is an official number for this.

Id be more specific. RTO is pushing commute costs to workers, which is why RTO is miss priced in the market.

If your commute time was paid for by the firm, all the firms calculations would shift dramatically.

A worker rise up moment, if we ever needed more.

The commonly stated goal is to “work together” - something you can do if you have years of experience being in online communities, and alien if you have not.
There something true about it though. People see the world through “my tribe, not my tribe”. Left vs right. Islam vs non-Islam. West vs non-west. Sunni vs Shia. etc.
Apologies for the pedantic complaint, but tenets are not the same as tenants!
Sure. To go down the Wright's Law learning curve at a rate that keeps pace with PV, we need to ramp up manufacturing to a rate of about a million reactors per year. Is that feasible? In what time frame?

There are no pre-built binaries. If you're using Arch Linux there's an AUR package (see https://docs.inko-lang.org/manual/main/getting-started/ivm/#...), but for other platforms you'll need to use `cargo install`. I'm hopeful that over time the list of package managers including ivm will grow, making this process easier.
I store notes in to git repository. I used to store timestamps inside the file too, but I found out I don't have the patience to add those if I change tooling like to a different markdown editor that doesn't do it automatically.
Technology is inherently about making things better. Whether it's just making a tool easier to use, or fundamentally changing how people behave - it's all about altering what we do now. It's not really possible to be a technologist and a (small c) conservative - the definition being "averse to change or innovation and holding traditional values.". Being "progressive" - by the dictionary "an advocate of social reform" - is at least compatible with the technologist mindset (although you could still be a technologist without any desire for social reform).

Obviously the values held by "Conservative" political parties are not simply about being "conservative" - but it's not particularly surprising that people who like the idea of changing things aren't a big fan of a political movement which is based on doing things the way we always have.

People without a technical background could accept a browser that doesn't display an URL at all. Just put a nice big Button with the Google-Logo somewhere, which for many people is "The internet" and they are happy.

And anyone claiming otherwise should riddle me this: How do most non-technical people in the world access "awesomepageireallylike.something"? That's right, they click into the address bar, start typing until the string they remebered appears, and then click on that. And what is that? Exactly: A Google search.
ASCII was used by teletypes, not typewriters. They were "cylinder" heads, as compared to IBM's golfball typewriters.

The endless CR/LF/CRLF line ending problem would have been solved if the RS (Record Separator) ASCII code was used instead of the physical CR = carriage return, ie move print head back to start of line, and LF = line feed, ie rotate paper up one line.

But Unix decided on LF, Apple used CR, Windows used CRLF, and even today, I had to get a guy to stop setting his system to "Windows" because he was screwing up a git repo with extraneous CRs.
Any idea why it is still showing the "weather.com" link next to the forecast?

Heart of Dorkness – building the darkest reading app possible
Indeed, but there seems to be no incentive to do it. In government jobs nobody cares. In large companies nobody cares either, these are just operating costs. That is, until money is short, but then they either cut whole departments or sites.

The problem is actually in the work culture, where other coworkers would prevent another worker from becoming too efficient and proactive. So, nothing changes.
That was my problem with the article about nix. I wouldn’t have read it if it was 10 years old (and probably out of date).
The article may seem to take that view, but dispels it at the same time: "a list of 100 or so English woman novelists of the 20th century, a list running from Margaret Atwood to Virginia Woolf." Then it comes up with other possible explanations, all speculative. There's no conclusion.

You didnt get paid for commute time earlier.

COVID recovered it for you.

one hour of your time in this century, is FAR more valuable than time in any other century - simply because you can spend that time on a multitude of pursuits to enrich your life than ever before.

Anyone ambitious, self driven will fight for those 2 hours + a day lost in commutes, because they can use it for themselves.

At the margin, people who needed a few hours more to accelerate their lives will have fled bad firms.

I am fine with RTO if you start paying me for those hours.
> Germany is currently in an unplanned surprise energy war with Russia

Ah yes. This war is the reason why 134 GW of renewable energy only produce ~20GW, and why Germany burns 20 GW of coal (by pure coincidence that's about as much as the capacity of all decommissioned reactors since 2011)
Terrible analogy. We get it, you don’t like Apple.
Possibly... Take them at their word that they can they really believe what they are saying is true.

Thus being polite versus thinking they are deliberately deceiving you.

But not that you have to also accept what they say as correct or true for yourself.

I noticed you never responded to my points countering you lies. How do you even look at yourself in the mirror after lying to defend GamerGate? Why do your conspiratory theories about ethics and game journalism compel Q-Anon freaks like you to break into a house, try to kidnap an elderly defenseless man, and attempt to murder him with a hammer? Do you believe that's ethical, and will you also lie to defend David DePape? Are you living in a garage without a toilet or shower, playing video games in an inflatable unicorn costume all day too?

Pelosi hammer attack accused David DePape tearfully testifies of bizarre plot:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67411189

Giving evidence for more than an hour on Tuesday, Mr DePape said his political transformation started when he was living in a garage without a toilet or shower, playing video games for hours at a time.

He said that in the course of looking up information about video games he became interested in Gamergate, an anti-feminist campaign that targeted prominent women in the gaming world and became a huge online trend starting in 2014. He began listening to right-wing podcasters and watching political YouTube videos.

"At that time I was biased against Trump," Mr DePape said, "but there's, like, truth there. So if there's truth out there that I don't know, I want to know it."

He said he formulated a "grand plan" that involved luring "targets" to the Pelosi home.

[...]

He said he planned to wear an inflatable unicorn costume and upload his interrogation of her online. He was arrested with zip ties and duct tape in his possession.
I think timestamps are even more important in that case.
Also personal, but not every member of the family thinks about how water behaves — like how it pools — while loading the machine.
It's a shame that Google didn't publish numbers. They have very good profiling across all of their servers and probably have incredibly high confidence numbers for the real-world impact on this. (Assuming that your world is lots of copying protocol buffers in C++ and Java)
>I wonder again to what extent critical acclaim is as random as commercial success.

you can't acclaim what you've never read.

However there are a lot of studies that indicate critical acclaim also seems related to attending the right institutions of higher education, which would indicate a decrease in randomness.
Denmark is a state-sized grid by US terms. They have the EU to draw on for the same reason US states draw from the two national-scale grids; wind is unlikely to be out across the entire EU. (Night also means lower demand.)

To be clear, Norway has no nuclear. 99% of generation there is hydro. Low wind in Denmark likely means they release more water for a bit; system works as intended.
>> So if even THE nuclear nation on this planet "neglects" its reactors, wouldn't that be an argument against nuclear?

> No. It would be an argument against anti-nuclear

How? Proper maintenance would increase the price of electricity produced by nuclear.

> "Decades" implies 20 years or more. Even now France's nuclear provides more energy than anything it has, and France routinely exports energy to Germany who have shattered their nuclear power plants and are now busy burning coal and importing electricity to cover the needs.

Their nuclear reactors are 37 years old on average (they were originally only commissioned to run for 40 years, until an extension in 2012) [1]. They don't have a reactor younger than 21 years old [2]. So I would argue they did not just not diversify, they also neglected to keep up with building nuclear reactors.

Their flagship EPR reactor (Flamanville 3) has been been delayed and delayed. Work started in 2007, in 2020 when it was already significantly delayed it was 5 times over budget and it is still not in operation. The current date is early 2024, but that's almost a running gag now. [3]

They are also planning to build new reactors which are supposed to come online earliest 2035, but based on what happened with Flamanville, that's completely unrealistic.

So in summary decades is very justified.

I encourage everyone to read the wikipedia article on Flamanville. You can't make this up. Construction started in 2007 with estimated costs of 3.3 billion euro and completion date of 2012. The last estimate was in 2020 with costs at 19.1 billion and a commissioning date at the end of 2022. Well that didn't happen yet. And somehow we are supposed to throw more money at this completely incompetent industry?

This would pretty much entirely remove the ability for regular people outside the US to use the DMCA while corporations to abuse the system. Corporations don't really need that help and can get a court to approve an injunction instead - if they don't already have a business relationship with the host they can levarage to get the content taken down.

No, requiring any party to be damaged based on accusations alone is absurd. Copyright infringement is not a life or death matter. It can wait for a judge to at least look at the matter. And if that is too expensive for society then maybe reconsider copyright instead of externalizing the cost required to maintain the fiction that information can be scarce.
True. Although there is the timestamp on the website and the one on HN.
