> I’ve yet to be convinced that buying into Delta Lake is actually buying into an open ecosystem. Would appreciate any reassurance on this front!

Sentiment echoed.

I’m ultra cautious of stuff offered by databricks in general. I think they’re only nominally open source, and shouldn’t be trusted.

I’ve also used Delta lake before, there were some really frustrating shortcomings and a lot of “sharp edges” in its usage. We ended up dropping that project entirely, but did investigate iceberg at the time as well. Iceberg and hudi had more coherently designed feature sets, but were less supported. Really hoping this changes more in future.
yep ... this is most likely the reason ... happened to me a lot of times

I mean, first, we've been subsidizing farmers since the dust bowl/great recession. As to why consolidation of our nations food supply into a small cohort of conglomerates is a bad thing.... I mean do I really have to expand on that one?

I'm all for setting price minimums on agriculture IMHO. We have such an excess of food already that, combined with food banks and stamps, I'm not concerned about people going hungry. Most of the expensive shit is from processing and logistics seems to be the biggest issue with food scarcity (there's a reason meals on wheels exists)

Even better, FOR NO KEY UPDATE is probably a good option here, since no key values are updated.
You can already achieve this with CTEs.
I bought a bunch of MCK-142's [0] years back, as my forever keyboard(s) - still using them to this day. 12 F-keys on the left, 24 programmable F-keys along the top and otherwise conventional except for the assignments in the cursor cluster where it comes with a 3x3 layout giving 45-degree movement keys as well (I remap/relabel mine to the conventional T-layout though - interestingly the ones on the deskthority site are slightly different, missing the extra keys at the corners of the cursor cross).

Despite the website [1], they are not available any more. I've got a keyboard template designed to make a more or less identical replacement, which I'm going to order one of these days.

We have looked into metabase ourselves initially as well but found it lacking compared to Superset. What are your thoughts on that?

Note that we build dashboards for customers that end up having some complex SQL directly in Superset.
I imagine the 'curtilage' for many properties had quite a few 'private property' signs. If GPS directs a driver into a road marked as such, a driver may easily assume that there will be a delivery address on that private property, which would warrant ignoring the signs.

Incorrect. This assessment is based on the actual data.

I actually went through the reports by the WHO. The official reports they did every 10 years after the accident. Did you? Were you even aware of those reports? They are on the WHO website.

Each subsequent report lowered the estimate of "negative health effects" from the previous report by an order of magnitude. Yes, that's a factor of 10. Each one, and there have been a number of them. By the last couple, the negative health effects of the evacuation were significantly higher than those of the accident itself. Which has also been the case in Japan.

Thanks for so skillfully demonstrating how the lack of understanding of energy density looks like in practice! Very much appreciated.

> [Ukraine] How the hell is this supposed to be an argument FOR nuclear?!?

Everything you say should be, in your world, the best reasons for getting OUT of nuclear. Yet they are not just not getting out, they want to expand.

Maybe they know something you do not?

>> The countries with the most experience with nuclear accidents ... favor nuclear.

> ...greenwash, rip off, renationalize ...

To which you have exactly no response, except that they must all be corrupt and ignorant. Really? That's your position? You know better, the people who actually do have first hand knowledge and hundreds if not thousands of experts know nothing and are all corrupt.

Hmm..

Or maybe, just maybe, they know something you do not.

Relatively compared to other sources, sure, but not absolutely. Wikipedia supereditors have their own biases that are obvious when reading articles on topics one has expert knowledge on.
Sometimes the fix works, sometimes not. It depends on who many things, one oof them might be your reputation at Google.

A friend of mine tried to fix his address for a year, every few weeks. It was always rejected. He successfully fixed his neighbors' ones though.

I requested a fix twice, it worked the second time. I live 1500km away from him but somehow seemed more trusted.
If your devs are just implementing whatever they want, with no strong design from your tech leads, and leaving no room for input from other teams, you'll find you have very unhappy customers who don't hang around very long... etc.

It's a balance.
One might think so, but no, that wasn't the case. Concorde was operating profitably with reasonable load factors.

And of course you now have aviation startups trying to tap the same market.
Its one of my absolute favorite apps on my iPad. The app has a widget that tells you the top articles in the last 24h and the number of views. Very interesting “news” source.
the data structures people normally call 'persistent' behave like what you implemented; they're ubiquitous in languages like clojure, haskell, and even ocaml that privilege immutability. the map module in ocaml's standard library is an example, and so is almost everything built in to clojure. 'traverse the history of the data structure to find past versions' is not how these persistent data structures normally work

there is an unfortunate terminology clash with 'persistent' in the sense of 'not vanishing after a power cycle', so i typically use the term 'fp-persistent', because this sense of 'persistent' is associated with functional programming. this has the disadvantage that it's a term i made up, so nobody knows what i mean until i explain it

I’ve been wanting to get into playing with LED matrices since seeing a great show by United Visual Artists in London which made a lot of use of them for really cool minimal visual effects.

My research suggests the best way to get started is with a HUB75 LED matrix (you can buy 32x32 or 64x64) and a MatrixPortal S3 board, which is an Arduino type thing with all the relevant connectors etc. for the LED board already installed. You can also buy and solder the relevant connections to an existing board, but I wanted something as easy as possible out of the box (even easier would be the Pimoroni Cosmic Unicorn, which contains it all in one pre built enclosure)
>I’m reasonably sure we can rely on the linear nature of time.

I'm not even sure about that, perhaps we can rely on our linear _experience_ of time, but we can't determine which is the correct version of two billiard balls colliding if we're shown the forwards and the backwards versions.

Assuming time is linear is convenient, but I don't think its provable or outright definite.

The dramatically spinning car is how I read the sign, especially combined with what appears to be a straight road in the background (although we can't tell if there's a bend afterwards it looks like extremely straight)

Easy to clear up (by Australian/NZ folks), do these show up on straightaways? Are they mirrored to indicate which direction the bend is going to be?

> The line near the car’s left tire doesn’t actually align with that tire!

could be:

- pointing to and suggesting the other wheel on the right side, more like materialising an envelope of the skid marks instead of realistic skid marks themselves

- stylisation of the overall 180 rotation, emphasising the overall spin out of control movement

Pipes are useful when you have multiple operations to combine, I don't think a <|> b <|> c makes as much sense?
(Not the author.) I’ve only really encountered CVEs when they have been mentioned on patches, usually Debian security updates.

Do vulnerabilities normally get a patch and are we expecting upcoming regulation to require the patches are
installed? If action is required to be taken when vulns are published do we all have to just uninstall the thing until the bug gets fixed, lest we invalidate our corporate insurance policy?

Will I have to cease my current policy of running Trivy, reading the CVE output, and then declaring (and making a git commit saying) “while this stdlib library technically supports CORBA and our OS technically supports IPX, we
don’t use CORBA or IPX… or networking… or this library… so I’m ignoring this!”
I'm convinced that this is due to developers over-relying on ORMs instead of delving into raw SQL.

I'll give another, different but somewhat related example: consider a worker that works on a batch of rows, and wants to update each of the rows in the batch, each row with different data for that row. In raw SQL, this is simple enough with the UPDATE FROM VALUES pattern (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/18799497 ).

There's no support for this in Prisma, for example: https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-client/queries/crud#up... . Most developers would wrap prisma.foo.update in an application-level loop, or possibly wrap all the individual updates in a single prisma.$transaction.

My 1st rule of thumb: Avoid processed foods. This way I don't have to really think much more about what to eat.

And yes, ultra-processed foods are easy to avoid if you go the right suppliers, such as grocers. Supermarkeups are definitely difficult places to eat well.

Excuse me, what?

Wikipedia is great. But assuming it's neutral and factually correct is delusional.

Like with every single organization made up of human beings, power dynamics and censorship are part of Wikipedia.

It's still the less bad one, but no one should trust it that blindly.

That's yet a different matter.

Morale rights in French law gives the author possibility to forbid the use of their work based on social reputation it might imply. For example a compositor can refuse that a song they wrote would be used publicly by a political party as an anthem because this party promote ideologies that the author doesn't want to be associated with.

It also allow author to forbid any further publication of what they published in the past, and ask for unsold copies to be destroyed.

None of the things within morale rights is about making money, at least in intent.
Yes and in 1900-2000 pills and vaccines where killing people because the manufacturer either didn't follow any quality standards or didn't test it on pregnant women but still sold it to them.

That was the time the fda got far more rights to sanction and sue medical manufactures and I think we are in a better world for that.

The new law explicitly says what liability it wants to add:

* death or personal injury, including medically recognised psychological harm;

Whether software (including apps) was covered under the existing PLD has always been controversial.i For
instance, there is controversy as to whether software should qualify as a product in the sense of the
directive, ii or whether it is part of either the services or of the intangible goods category, iii which falls
outside the scope of the existing PLD. iv

i) D. Wuyts, The product liability directive – more than two decades of defective products in Europe, 2014,
and BEUC position paper on the Review of Product Liability Rules, 2017.

ii) See Article 2 of the existing PLD. A product has to be distinguished from a service and must be understood
as 'all movables even if incorporated into another movable or into an immovable'.

iii) See pages 53-54 of the Commission staff working document on the approximation of the laws, regulations
and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products, 2018: 'The
definition of "product" as per article 2 of the Directive is related to the concept of "movable". This has been
interpreted as meaning that only tangible goods shall be considered products [...] the non-tangible nature
of some new technological developments (software, applications, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence
systems) makes it difficult to classify them as products rather than services'.

* property damage, while removing the threshold of €500 and the possibility for
Member States to impose a financial ceiling of €70 million; and

* loss or corruption of data that is not used exclusively for professional purposes

You don't even have to do it flawless, you still have the same defences available as in other product liabilities:

* the defect did not exist when they placed the product on the market;

* or the state of technical knowledge at the time of placing the product on the market
made it impossible to discover the defect (i.e., the 'development risk defence').

We all buy medical devices and the companies are fully liable for them and they contain software, so it is quite possible to build software without getting sued.

For software that uses F-keys extensively - especially with shift/control/alt combinations - having f-keys on the left is hugely easier than awkward top-row-reaching. Plus having a 24 programmable F-keys along the top (MCK-142 Pro mentioned above) is great for long sequences that are only used occasionally (mine are a mix of long 'cd's, mail checks, ssh to various hosts and one to paste links to HN stories into the local wiki).

can you explain the similarities and differences between arge's 'buffer tree' and the fractal tree and hitchhiker tree?

my tentative understanding is that arge's work, applied to an ordinary search tree, yields something very similar to the fractal tree, except that it will opportunistically flush buffers before they are full if the child nodes they route to must be brought in from disk anyway to answer a read query. but arge is more concerned with applying the technique to hairier data structures like segment trees and binary decision diagrams. and the hitchhiker tree seems to be precisely a copy-on-write fractal tree, no more and no less. but possibly i am misunderstanding something?

there's a clear citation path, so maybe i can untangle this: greenberg describes the hitchhiker tree as 'synthesizing fractal trees and functional data structures', kuszmaul's 02011 slide deck https://www.percona.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/how-... cites brodal and fagerberg (02003, though he says 02002) and buchsbaum, goldwasser, venkatasubramanian, and westbrook (02000, though he says 02006), both of whom cite arge's 01996 paper
Coal is very much used only for peak in the UK in recent years. The remaining plants (in fact, there’s only one still in service now) are kept on standby during winter and activated only when demand is forecast to exceed supply (plus a safety margin).

Gas is now more of a year-round flexible baseload, taking up the slack whenever demand is high and/or renewables production is low.

Nuclear is now the only true baseload in the UK - always generating more-or-less the same output except when they have to be shut down for maintenance, refuelling, or decommissioning!
Interesting idea, but the quality of data analysis is rather poor IMO and I'm not sure that they are actually learning what they think they are learning. Most importantly, I don't understand why they would see such a dramatic increase of sub 20s build times going from M1 Pro to M2 Pro. The real-world performance delta between the two on code compilation workloads is around 20-25%. It also makes little sense to me that M3 machines have fewer sub-20s builds than M2 machines. Or that M3 Pro with half the cores has more sub-20s builds than M3 Max.

I suspect there might be considerable difference in developer behavior which results in these differences. Such as people with different types of laptops typically working on different things.

And a few random observations after a very cursory reading (I might be missing something):

- Go compiler seems to take little advantage from additional cores

- They are pooling data in ways that makes me fundamentally uncomfortable

- They are not consistent in their comparisons, sometimes they use histograms, sometimes they use binned density plots (with different y axis ranges), it's real unclear what is going on here...

- Macs do not throttle CPU performance on battery. If the builds are really slower on battery (which I am not convinced about btw looking at graphs), it will be because of "low power" setting activated
Anybody who has tried to color correct for lighting conditions is shaking their head at this idea. Dealing with color is always a headache.
For submissions? I have way more than 501 karma and cannot downvote submissions.
These days, it's nearer the other way around in the UK - gas is closer to baseload (sort of) and coal has a profile closer to a peaker (especially when turning up/down rather than on/off).
