It amazes me how much better MySQL has been in this regard for at least a decade, and it's also amazing that it's still not that well-known today. Back in 2015 I worked at a fast-growing unicorn that had badly implemented basically everything because they started with a tiny ops team of grads and developers. Very little was being monitored, there were only a handful of metrics being graphed (mostly network stuff in Cacti). Our DB issues were all caused by stupid stuff :

* undetected hard disk in array fails

* battery in array controller fails

* disk fills up

* dubious backups, with no point-in-time recovery

* extremely poorly written SQL queries

* poory configured MySQL (in oh-so-many ways)

The top three (at least) would lastly cause replication lag, which would eventually trigger an alert. ... And yet we never lost a cluster. (And we far a lot of them!)

My team sweated blood improving processes and tooling, and then I spent a 6 month stint on database clusters (switching to GTID based replication and rewriting the ops config code so that they were all consistently configured and monitored).

Occasionally we'd get a new senior hire insist that PostgreSQL was a necessity, so we'd stand back and let them produce a proof of concept that stood up to the types of failures our MySQL clusters dealt with regularly, without waking oncall up at night. And it was always a bit of a joke by comparison.

Yes, there are two options for that space if you don't need a door there, one which fits most of the door mechanism (bolted shut) and hides it behind a solid wall, and an option that fits a plug with a normal sized window[1], which needs more effort to convert to a working door. Alaska choose the latter.

[1] This can still be swung out for inspection / maintenance, but has no normal latching mechanism, and should be bolted in place.

The vast majority seem to want large screens. Currently the only compromise are flip phones. I considered buying the Z Flip 5, but the screen protector needs to be replaced by Samsung to maintain warranty and there is no Samsung Store nearby. I asked and Samsung said I'd have to send it to them, losing my phone for a couple of days. No thanks.

They are not.

That "one page" rule of thumb has to do with how easy it is for the time-constrained reader to find relevant information in the document, not with cramming everything into a single page.

It is perfectly fine to detail your apprenticeship at X and your 3 years of experience in Y in further pages as long as those are mentioned on the first page.

If some critical info can _only_ be found on page 2 or 3, then it doesn't exist.
Desktop works as well
Using offline storage is the approach I use in most of my hobby projects. It's simpler, and faster (in developing and in usage) and there are no loading screens.

In my kindle-clippings-manager (https://github.com/karlosos/kindle_clippings_webapp) I import highlights from Kindle and store them in localStorage. The major drawback is a size limitation (10MB). This should not be a problem in most cases but if you need to store more data then indexedDB (with bigger limits but more complexity) can solve the issue.

Linear (https://linear.app/) uses its sync engine to store the data in Web Storage. With optimistic updates, it feels like an offline app. You can read more about the sync engine here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36519448

You can prop up a bad system for many years by having a lot of workers still around from the old system. It takes time to fully drive a company as good as Boeing into the ground.

Managers think they are the reason anything happens, but fortunately in this case this is a delusion. In places where a great manager tries to turn a business around that is broken that's a bad thing.
I must admit that 'alternative' is always a tricky word... Datadog, Elasticsearch, and Splunk are giant beasts, and the alternative makes sense only on a subset of features (and hopefully, we will successfully execute our 2024 roadmap to reduce the difference)

For Quickwit, our users proved to us it was scaling up to petabytes. So we consider this scale factor in the "alternative". But... we don't have a dedicated metrics storage engine yet, so if you want to store metrics in Quickwit, it won't be efficient in the current version. It will come later this year.

> Agree this completely. So much scientific evidence I see published is just survey results from participants...

> The standard for that evidence should be very different than the standard for reproducible physics, chemistry and biology experiments.

I don't really see why we should treat evidence coming from surveys differently than evidence coming from physics, chemistry or biology experiments as long as surveys are well constructed, fulfill the criterion of validity and reliability and are reproducible. Yes, they are not 'hard facts' but often the only option to measure latent variables or fuzzy constructs. If they do this in a reproducible way I don't see the issue here.

On the other hand, 'hard sciences' such as neuroscience and medical science have a big problem with non-reproducible studies, even though they use more 'objective' measurement methods.

> You'd really have to be a complete data engineering newbie to not understand it I think?

I do occasionally use Pandas in my day job, but I honestly think very few programmers that could have use for a data frame library would describe themselves as a “data engineer” at all.

In my case, for example, I’m just a physicist - I don’t work with machine learning, big data, or in the software industry at all. I just use Pandas + Seaborn to process the results of numerical simulations and physical experiments similarly to how someone else might use Excel. Works great.
Yeah, that's why the leading low-fare airlines (Southwest, Ryanair) love it - so it's up to the customers to say that they no longer want to fly with an over 50 year old design that was initially a regional airplane but is now being used for transatlantic flights.
Hey Everyone,

I’m Naveen, the co-founder of Leadmonk.io.

Remember the times you chased inbound leads, only to have scheduling delays kill the deal?

Or worse, watch promising prospects drop off because booking a call felt like pulling teeth?

Yeah, we've all been there. It's why only 15% of those precious inbound leads actually convert into meetings.

In the race to acquire leads, it's easy to overlook the importance of optimizing your inbound lead-to-meeting process.

Yet, this is where you can make significant gains in conversion rates and efficiency.

That's where Leadmonk comes in. It converts leads into meetings by qualifying, routing, and scheduling in real-time from anywhere — be it your web form, cold calls, campaigns, and more.

We're talking to fellow founders like you who understand the struggle.

We have built integration for Google Calendar, Outlook & Office365 Calendar, Google Meet, MS Teams, Zoom, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Zapier, Stripe, PayPal, and Twilio.

We're helping a couple of YC companies like yours automate their sales and demo meetings, and the feedback has been positive so far.

We're just getting started, and we'd love your honest feedback. Head over to https://www.leadmonk.io/ and tell us what you think.

Is Leadmonk something you could see saving you time and driving conversions?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

P.S. We're offering a special discount for Hacker News founders. Just drop us a line at contact@leadmonk.io and mention this post.

> I see someone has sneakily added ActivityPub to the end of the list on wikipedia in 2021, retroactively giving them a success.

Why retroactively...?

The point of these standards is that they all build on top of each other. ActivityPub builds on JSON-LD which is a variant of RDF which uses the existing RDF schemas to define its attributes.

The different bits of the stack are used in many different ways. RDF datasets are really common in many different academic fields and ontology composition (which has always been a thing) has pretty much been subsumed by the semweb standards.

Semweb standards are also the most common standard in graph databases.

New W3C standards, such as ActivityPub, appear all the time and usually build on the existing semweb standards.

Presumably you were introduced to the concept of DataFrames and how they're used through some other source, because Polars landing page doesn't even bother to mention it's used for data analysis and documentation simply assumes you're already familiar with the core concepts.

Compare that to Pandas which starts with the basics, "pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of the Python programming language." It then leads you to "Getting started" guide which features "Intro to pandas" that explains the core concepts.

Aside from the fact that this is not my area of expertise (I am a robotics engineer), I assume the same forces that made things difficult for those companies would making things difficult for me.

I respectfully disagree. I have very little Linux/Unix/xBSD maintenance knowledge, but I started running my own server for my personal email and website. Although I used a script as a crutch to set things up at the beginning (thanks to sive.rs/ti), when I started digging in how things work - and when I eventually run into some issues like expired certs - I managed to understand things much faster than when I was trying to run a server before with Ubuntu.

For example, Googling things are easier since the tools don't change much over the years, so an answer from 10-15 years ago still works. Besides that, I could find most of my answers in the very well written man pages. There's also just fewer things happening so there's not much clutter to distract me finding the answers I need.

I'm still a beginner of course, but I feel like OpenBSD is good for any application where you need to run something and then "forget about it" - be it a server or maybe even a "kiosk"/informational screen.

> Commands should be left enabled, then an error message should be displayed when the command is clicked and the command is unavailable, and in this case explain why it is presently unavailable.

An exception to this: premium (for-pay) features.

There is a certain To-Do app that does this. Premium commands are visually indistinguishable from freemium commands, so they get clicked a lot and they interrupt the entire experience with nag dialogs.

A serious UI error IMO.

How many leaf URLs have you memorised? I don't mean "google.com", I mean the URL of a specific paper in a journal, or an article in some random news site?

If you were forced at gunpoint to provide such URLs -- valid or not -- with literally no option other than to keep talking, you would... make up some vaguely correct-sounding URLs!

The AIs are doing precisely what an intelligent human in their place would do. Blurting out something, anything, even if they don't have the answers.

That's because the current crop of AIs are essentially being forced to provide the next token, directly equivalent to a human being forced to continue speaking against their will.

There are fixes being put in place already for this, such as using human feedback to tune the AI so that it answers with a generic "I don't know" blurb if it's not sufficiently confident in the next token. Annoyingly, the new "Turbo" versions of ChatGPT have overdone this a bit, and now it refuses to answer even when it does actually know the answer!

There are also variations of neural networks that encode not just "values", but probabilities and hence confidence intervals. These can directly output both tokens and the true confidence values, which would allow complex tree searches, etc... and avoid outputting this kind of gibberish entirely. The maths for this is well established, but it would be much more expensive to run models using it, so nobody has bothered yet.
That curve applies to design issues as well, they are more likely to be found in the very beginning (teething problems) as well.

I prefer first thinking to immediately doing something. Especially in programming one can easily create an even bigger mess by picking a wrong direction. I tend to think about what the steps were that got me to the place where I got stuck and whether these make sense then I think about different solutions and then pick one. Also, I cannot think deeply with other people in the room. I have to find a room where I can be alone. If I want to think when at home I go lie on the bed with a stack of blank paper and a pen and sketch some diagrams and that kind of stuff.
