I created a full website a few years ago that allowed the search, and CRUD of art pieces.
I enjoyed bringing the project to life and having a fully working website with no back-end.
It was a side project to proof concept so I don’t know about scaling this kind of project, databases tend to cost more.
What was harder is to maintain and evolve the logic which is deported to the db and less easily readable.
Htmx seems not trivial to maintain either but a nice project still

I am neither made of money nor pretending to be, but I've never used a case on my cellphones, and I have never had a phone break for the lack of a case.

If a phone requires a case in order to be functional, that's a badly designed phone that I won't purchase. I wouldn't purchase that particular phone anyway, though, since it sounds like a lot of emphasis was put on the camera, and a camera is something I don't value in a phone at all.
This is the opposite of stifling innovation. It's literally not innovative, which is a big point of the ruling.

The company produces and sells watches with the technology. It's not a patent troll.
For anything mid-large size, I believe a separate abstraction layer is needed, which would be an API. I also tried to build something similar on top of SQL and the tech stack is Jinja-templated SQL and an OpenAPI layer implemented in YML but I would still scope it out for internal tooling. Here it is: https://jinj.at
If I am a Java shop, why would I want to use this instead of e.g. ActiveMQ Artemis?
The "opposing point" I am making is that technology is ethically neutral and needs to be examined as as it functions in the world, on a case-by-case basis (and implemented accordingly). I can't personally say I know many people who fear dangerous technology so much that they advocate for a complete halt to all technological development everywhere.
I honestly found that particular example puzzling. I've written code in at least three other languages that would look nearly identical to it. Unless they were referring to the `?`, or perhaps the lack of a trailing `:` / `{` which seems very superficial to me. Maybe the `@` instead of a `self`? Genuinely unsure.
With all respect I think you’re completely wrong - this is not supposed to be the “entire purpose” of starting a company.
Shouldn’t that still work there if they work for dialling?

True, most agency companies may make money but their products definitely have quite a lot of room for improvement, since the founders are not engineers by trade and thus there is no permeation of engineering culture as in other tech companies. However, I will say that it would be good for tech people to learn the marketing side if only by doing it semi-professionally for a client, just to see what goes into it. Then, they can choose to bootstrap or go the VC route, not necessarily create a whole new agency from scratch and continuously work on that. It's simply a learning method, one where you conveniently get paid to do so.

Yes, I don't think content is the only way, and I don't believe most of their growth was from content, anyway. It seems like it was just sending out lots of messages to people and hoping they're interested. Content marketing is a secondary mechanism, it is inefficient to get you your first customers, and it is definitely not the best go to market strategy as you say.
Are other digital libraries engaged in the same behavior in question? If not, how are they providing similar services? If they're not providing similar services, this argument falls apart: "it will take away a library’s ability to lend books from its permanent collections to digital learners."
And there's a fair subset of this very site's audience who spend time repairing C64s, telnetting into BBSes, and building Gopher sites.
They may be selling products but that doesn’t mean they’re not patent trolls. This is clear patent troll behaviour even if other parts of the business is honest.
Full disclosure: I am an author, and some of my books have been lent by the IA.

I strongly opposed the IA's uncontrolled digital lending at the start of the pandemic. I thought its "Emergency Library" was very clearly illegal and tactically very stupid.

On the other hand, I fully support the concept of controlled digital lending, about which the current appeal is concerned. As an author, I don't particularly care about whether a book that a library legally acquired is lent as a physical copy or a digital copy, as long as it is controlled the same way as physical copies are controlled (i.e. one person at a time can have the copy checked out). True, my publisher might consider the distinction important, because e-book licenses are a valuable revenue stream for them, but my interests are satisfied as long as the physical copy is legally acquired.

Yet although I support CDL conceptually, I think more needs to be done by Congress to codify the practice; going solely by existing case law, I can see why the judge ruled against IA.

In particular, the IA's argument that their CDL program was transformative, as fair-use law defines the term, is extremely shaky. What they're saying is that they employed a novel distribution method -- but that method doesn't actually transform the copyrighted work creatively; the words remain exactly the same. The term "transformative," when applied in a fair-use analysis, implies altering the material in some way, not just introducing a new transmission method.

People don't seem to understand the massive amount of specialization that's occurred with humanity, especially since the start of the industrial revolution. The most distant you go in the past the more general your title was, for example farmer. Now you can have some extremely narrow field, say EUV lithography, and if you and the other 10 experts on it on the planet decide to go bonkers you could cost billions of dollars to the processor industry.

I just got back from the AWS re:Invent conference and it was full of AI stuff, most of which didn't make much sense. The biggest announcement was "Amazon Q" [0], the Amazon general purpose chatbot. They hooked it up to the AWS console and I've not found a single reason to use it. I tried a couple of questions about a problem that I was having and it didn't provide even a modicum of help. So far, I see GAI as a complete failure.

I do not understand what constitutes an appealing visual design for a car. The Aztek looks great to me. I like it better than almost any other crossover SUV in terms of appearance. How do you determine what is “good” or “bad” when modern cars are such an abstract shape?

I’m confused - how do we “un-hide” the setting to switch it off? I’m in the US, with a Dropbox Basic (Personal) plan, and I don’t have any AI settings available.
The platform isn't that much of a mess imo. I think if you look at individual web application code bases they're kind of a mess because the penalty for doing it wrong isn't that high compared to real physical engineering just throwing the business thing in without planning actually does have a higher ROI. If anything the 30 year old legacy code bases are still much worse than the typical React application and services tangle you get today.
You can’t know unless you investigate, right? I am saying managers will see situations where it could have happened, and they can figure out if there was a breach, but then instruct people to not look for it. Or just make it not a priority. Or whatever. They don’t know for sure so they can’t say you knew and didn’t report it.
How do you propose one generates buzz for something before it's released? Is this not the norm for music, film, television, etc. as well?
>I just find it incredible that there are people who actually believe that helping a country in their own defense could actually be an act of hostility. It's really such a nonsensical position.

To play devil's advocate and look at it from the other side of the fence, how someone might reason- Russia + some prominent figureheads in the West have told us over the last two decades that a Western aligned Ukraine is a red line for them and not something they would tolerate lightly. It's a country directly in their backyard so the threat (real or imaginary) is much more magnified than say, if this was a proxy war on the other side of the world. Their problems with Ukraine are closer and more real to them there than they are here halfway across the globe to us in the US now. In their eyes we are going actively out of the way to meddle in affairs that they perceive as being indirectly hostile towards them.

Maybe when someone claims this is an act of hostility, they might mean that this opens up the standard to reciprocal action further down the line? Say, the possibility of the next boots on the ground conflict the US finds themselves involved in seeing the enemy side funded and equipped by the Russians by weapons we've seen to be not ineffective in modern warfare, when in a climate with better relations they'd have chosen not to do so. We'd probably still "win" by whatever metric we set but it'd undoubtedly lead to more loss of US lives than it could have otherwise, and they could hide behind the moral defense of "supplying an underdog with arms, equipment, training, and military intelligence in someone else's backyard is not an act of hostility."

I don't agree with everything (and it depends on when in the 90s) but I suspect that a lot of people from today dropped into the 90s would find a great deal incredibly frustrating.

Late 90s you're into the internet era. Early 90s, basically no internet.
Well the problem was most likely with the code then, not the language feature -- because the changes are quite localized to throw sites and catch sites, not throughout the code.
>To me the expectations of this having to be legally binding, etc just seem misguided.

I think you're getting my point confused with a tangentially related one. Your point may be "chatbots shouldn't be legally binding" and I would tend to agree. But my point was that simply throwing a disclaimer on it may not be the best way to get there.

Consider if poison control uses a chatbot to answer phone calls and give advice. They can't waive their responsibility by just throwing a disclaimer on it. It doesn't meet the current strict liability standards regarding what kind of duty is required. There is such a thing in law as "duty creep," and there may be a liability if a jury finds it a reasonable expectation that a chatbot provides accurate answers. To my point, the duty is going to be largely context-dependent, and that means broad-brushed superficial "solutions" probably aren't sufficient.
As someone much more effective at learning though text than by watching videos, I really appreciate the creators who do the additional effort of publishing a written version.
You're making my case here that services operated by businesses cannot deliver what's expected in the threat model for a lot of folks.

You're also assuming I have a threat model that includes IP addresses as a consideration of it. I'm merely pointing out running an above-board business and genuinely taking care of privacy are two very different things. It comes across as theatre.

What's your moral standing on what happened, if any?

I have allowed amazon e-books into my firewall after I vet they are from a publisher I can trust... I do not have interest in allowing books from strangers into my firewall. Some authors on amazon have posted their books DRM-free (Brandon Sanderson is an example).

I usually check to see if the publisher sells the e-book directly. If so, I will consider buying there. Usually amazon has a cheaper price, and I buy from them and strip the DRM.
I agree. I would say that there’s a class of lessons you only gain by, for instance, shipping things, by completing projects —- and many of them. If you only ever start things and maybe slog at it for a while and give up, there’s a whole host of things you’re not learning. I sometimes think that it’s better to sloppily ship many things than to perfect shipping one, or fewer thing. By doing something over and over again from start to finish, you gain valuable perspective on the whole and can understand what really matters in the larger context than you could if you just focused on one small part of a project.
I realize from the perspective of patent law, the patent is not dumb and Apple needs to respect patent law. But man, the patent is just dumb. It's simply just existing technology A, but on obvious technology B. There is absolutely zero innovation.

> Varoufakis says it’s anything but. Jeff (Bezos, the owner of Amazon) doesn’t produce capital, he argues

Maybe Varoufakis should try creating an Amazon instead of writing some book and running Greece’s economy into the ground.

We are serfs for even commenting here, by the way. This site is owned (and created) by the technofeudalists who founded YC, not by Mr Varoufakis. So what brings you here, serf on their property, if you don’t see any value in it? They are certainly not putting a gun to your head just like Amazon is not making you shop there.
and you think .. yes, I will apply this to my life.

is it not do anything well? so try doing a few good things?

I will do the good things well.

also I read "Don't let the great be the enemy of the good"

etc.

But sometimes you have to stop doing a lot of small good things to do great things.

are the good things part of a great thing? or are they merely distractions?

It seems perfectionism is a fault, but really the perfectionists are the ones we read about in the history books.
> By all accounts it is essentially a subway with smaller cars that is more point to point, which would seem to be more efficient.

… Why would that be more efficient? Generally, when you’re trying to eke the last drops of efficiency out of a train system, what you do is use _longer and longer_ trains (this can get slightly silly at the extremes; some train services will actually require passengers to move to a specific set of carriages to get off at certain stations, because the stations can’t accommodate the whole train).

Based on their own claims, the system has a peak capacity of 4500/hour. Not per direction (the capacities of train systems are usually quoted per direction); _in total_. 40,000 people per hour is a reasonable capacity for a modern single line fully segregated metro system. 4500/hour would be pretty anemic for a modern _tram_ system. 4500 per hour is a busy single bus route (one 80 person bus a little over every two minutes, two directions); it’s just not really in the conversation as far as metro train lines go.

Now, there’s a place for low-capacity transport systems, though I’m not sure why this particular one couldn’t be implemented by just using a bus lane. But something like this simply isn’t competitive with a metro rail line.
Any Python ORMs worthy of production?
I’m hoping for something battle-tested that supports async/await and migrations. If your answer is some variation of “real programmers don’t use ORMs”... fair enough, I suppose. But here are the options as I see them:

- Django: very mature ORM, migration support is great. But it doesn’t support async/await (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/async/), and these days FastAPI seems like a better option. FastAPI just needs an ORM, so =>

- SQLModel: from @tiangolo who created FastAPI, clean and good Pydantic support, so this would be my default option, but even though it seems to support async/await the doc page is blank (https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/advanced/), and for migrations you resort to the underlying =>

- SQLAlchemy: seems by far the largest/best supported, has async/await, has migrations through Alembic (it seems not as fully-featured as Django’s?), but trying to use it has felt very kludgy/painful/verbose.

- Tortoise: the README claims to fulfill my dreams, but I haven’t met anyone yet using it in prod? Anyone have experience they can share?

- Any others I missed?

Meanwhile in the JS/TS ecosystem, Prisma just added preview support for JOINs 2 weeks ago (https://github.com/prisma/prisma/releases/tag/5.7.0 !?!) and yet it seems ubiquitous (though I hear everyone’s moving to Drizzle).

Advice greatly appreciated
> but it does take away your choice to moderate Threads users and content yourself.

Mastodon doesn't have the ability to ban you from all of the fediverse. It doesn't take away choice, it simply gives an additional option to the instance admin. Don't like it? Start your own instance.
There is some nuance here. I like trademarks which disallow other companies than Apple from selling products called “Apple Watch” or other companies than Samsung from selling “Samsung Galaxy S” series phones. And I like that if I make a piece of music or some art or whatever, some giant company can’t just grab that and use it for profit without making some arrangement with me.

But intellectual property goes way too far.

Any sort of modernization work in these bunkers is extremely expensive because of their underground construction, and most have very poor humidity control because of water seepage. "Poor humidity control" is a bit of an understatement, many Cold War bunkers will fill with water over a course of days if power to the dewatering pumps is interrupted. It's really not nearly as practical as people like to think to reuse them. Consider the case of AT&T, which owns a vast fleet of underground bunkers and keeps replacing them with a surface building on the same site because it is simply unaffordable to maintain and modernize them. New electrical service, for example, requires excavation and a ton of coring thick concrete. The costs add up fast, every little thing is more complex and more costly underground.

Fire, one of the biggest concerns in archival practice, is also much harder to manage in underground facilities. Document archive facilities are designed as distinct fire cells to mitigate the risk, and incorporating these features into bunkers would likely require rebuild from scratch. Refrigerant fire suppression systems are difficult to install because of inadequate evacuation routes; Cold War era underground facilities rarely have more than one staircase and one ladder (and the ladder shaft might be full of sand!).

The disused military bunkers of the United States are littered with failed document storage companies that have been unable to sufficiently retrofit them for this use. Seriously, I would guesstimate as many as one in six former ICBM silos was, at some point, owned by one of these operations. More than one per field usually. Almost none have succeeded, and the exceptions have the appearance that they are more hobby projects than viable services. In most cases they didn't even finish stripping the old equipment, which is a very costly process since it has to be cut up underground to hoist out.
No it doesn't. It works for me. Maybe "for some" should be added to the title?
By the common usage of the phrase, that is what it means.

What I keep thinking when reading your comment is “what kind of democracy?” What anarchists want is “democracy” too but it looks very, very different to the form of government we have in most “democracies”. Anarchists want political control by federations of cooperatives, or federations of cooperatives of cooperatives. What we have in most “democracies” is “representative democracy” where every few years we exercise highly diluted political power to put people in to power who came from an elite and isolated political class, are strongly/primarily influenced by money, and make sweeping decisions from very far away.

What anarchists want is a world where every day people are regularly voting on important issues affecting their collective, and nominating delegates to vote on their behalf when voting in federation-wide issues. Notably delegates are typically understood to only vote as already agreed upon by a collective and they are recallable at any time.

This is a super rough description but the point is I don’t think it’s meaningful to talk about “democracy” as a monolith. I think anarchism is democracy too and I think it’s a much more effective form of democracy than the type we have most commonly today.
