The IBM of today isn’t what I think the other commenter was referring to.

In the 1970’s IBM was a behemoth. Yet IBM of that time was unable to translate that success meaningfully to personal PCs. In the realm of the personal PC it was Intel and Microsoft that dominated.

Similarly the Microsoft of the 2000’s was a behemoth that failed to translate that success to mobile computing.

I believe the other poster was trying to say that Google of today is like IBM of the 70’s or Microsoft of the 2000’s.

That being said IBM is different today than it was even a couple decades ago and Microsoft has changed a lot in recent years so maybe Google could become innovative again.

From a compiler writer's perspective, C is much more complex than Wirth's Pascal.

Pascal's builtin I/O was a major impediment to its usability.

However, one really great feature of Wirth's Pascal is nested functions with access to outer scopes, which D wholeheartedly embraces. They really are slick. I use them heavily.

Ah the Sams books. I once thought that writing tech books was going to be a career (having contributed a single chapter to “Microsoft SQL Server Programming Unleashed” by Papa, Shepker et al. I was one of the Al’s).

I think the “in 24 hours” thing was more a case of “I’m going to tell you everything I know about XYZ in 24 hours”. Still, I have so many fond memories from the late 80s and 90s spending countless lunchtimes at McGills or the Technical Bookshop in Melbourne (now since long gone), flipping through tech magazines and wondering which of the many weighty tech tomes I’d spend my precious hard-earned on.
I think that would only make my apps much more complicated, and also more difficult to understand and to develop, since they would not rely on standard React API but some kind of outside integration. I don't really see the value.

I've thought about doing this too - and there are certainly things that are worth rote memorization on guitar. But my experience has been that things stick a million times better when I learn them in context and really focus on using them, so I'm unsure how useful implementing spaced repetition would be vs "just play yer guitar".

That said, the notes on the fretboard is well worth the effort of rote memorization. I found the technique in this video[1] worked absurdly well for me. Years and years of only knowing the notes half-assed and not very well on the middle three strings got absolutely busted after doing this for a few minutes every time I was waiting on a build or something. I can nearly always find a note now, I'm not quite to instant recall but have substantially more ability in this regard now.

A place where spaced repetition might be worth it is in memorizing all the triads or keys, which is good to have instant recall on. I have these decently in my head but usually have to "convert" from a nearby chord in C major for oddball ones, which is fine while practicing but not what you'd want for performance.

BlueSky has for some reason far more biologists than Mastodon:
Searching for 'PAG31', a currently ongoing large plant and animal genomics conference, reveals about 20 different posters on BlueSky with about 60 posts and only two posters on Mastodon with four posts (one's a company). Twitter/X still has more posts than BlueSky, though. Scientists are creatures of habit.

Low unemployment means nothing without also referencing workforce participation rates. Economic data is also effectively useless if, for example, inflation data excludes common expenses like groceries, housing, used cars, etc.

In my tests sqlite was around 10X faster than postgres.

That mean that a single cheap server is capable of going very very far in normal web workloads.

I think we often add complexity: virtualisation, cloud, separated db server, horizontal scaling when efficient and simple tech is able to go very very far.
Like many of the comments here, I'm very curious what counts as "R&D" spend by Amazon. My guess (and happy to be corrected if I'm wrong) is that it includes a big chunk of AWS capex spend. I think it's great that Amazon invested so much into AWS, but it then also isn't surprising that the company that runs a huge portion of the Internet has large "R&D" spend.

Presumably solar panel arrays suspended above grass improve the local micro-climate for grazing animals below, and when suspended over canals they may also reduce evaporation.

The negative harms should be studied, but also balanced rationally.

We need to have a wider / deeper discussion about the relative harms vs benefits of solar "geo-engineeering" - putting particulates or salt water droplets into the air to reflect sunlight, to reduce warming.

This is urgent - the CO2 is already there, and we will likely have a long plateau of current highest emissions for another decade .. its the area under that curve that matters - total CO2 - and this will likely bake in +2C in coming years.

We have some data from vulcanic eruptions and recent reduction of particulates in shipping fuel, so we know in principle it works.

We've been releasing sulphites inadvertently as pollution for a long time .. it has not been world ending.

We need to do experiments and get better estimates on the benefit and harms, and feed that back into our climate models, and climate and weather predictions if we do larger geoengineering.

If we stopped all carbon burning tomorrow, we still need a way to bring the heat down - the ice and sea have buffered a great deal of the damage, but the ice will keep melting for a long time from current GHGs, perhaps irreversibly on human time scales. Id argue that harm is orders of magnitude greater than the negative effects of releasing sun-reflecting/shielding particulates.

To act or not, which does more harm ? That is a question science can give the best answers to. We need to get over the 'controversy', do the science we can in the short time we have and then act.

Surprisingly safe given they're neither drinking the effluent nor washing open wounds with it.

The Great British Sewer Project (version one, not the recent and ongoing rebuild) was all about safe water, the disease came from a contaminated water for drinking and washing pump and not from "the Miasma" (unseen spirit forces wafting about in dank air).

The "put underground" part was mainly about isolating waste water from washing and drinking water, reducing the stench in the air was a related benefit of course, but that wasn't the vector of infection.
Here are the main issues I see with something like this:

1. As with any social network system, the most difficult part is that you need a critical mass of users before the system becomes worthwhile, but to be able to get users, you already have to have traction in the first place, so it's a bit of a chicken/egg issue.

2. You say you're building a directory that features experienced devs. The next question is naturally - how are you going to verify these devs? Everyone is going to have their own definition of what it means to be an "experienced dev".

The fact that everyone just "lists themselves" means that by definition there's really no trust or verification in the process itself from a potential employer perspective.

3. It sounds like your goal is to basically be the white pages of experienced devs which is laudable enough, however, I'm still not sure I understand the buy value from an employer perspective. Why would they take the time to visit this random website as opposed to just running searches on people's LinkedIn resumes filtered by years of experience?

20% of the Sahara is a lot of land. I think solar is a great addition combined with other things. My primary residence is in a rural county with a lot of cattle/range land where solar farms could help greatly with something like a microgrid.

YouTube mobile app recommends repulsive videos?
I am seriously disturbed and just trying to find a venue to discuss.

So I recently got a new phone, logged into YouTube and searched ‘Makita Vacuum Review’.

Out of nowhere, YouTube is recommending repulsive content of either medical procedures or people doing serious damage to their bodies.

Titles are like ‘Removing something in a girls ear, IT’s stuck’ ‘Dr PimplePopper Reacts’, some titles are Portuguese and Arabic. Some involves children.

I know filters / moderation aren’t perfect and sometimes porn gets though the filters, but this is different. These are popular videos with millions of views.

I have been on 4chan before, and this is probably on that level. My sleep is ruined.

Searching Reddit, there seem to be some reports of this happening.

Okay, I reported all the videos, searched the same thing again, more gross videos come up. The rabbit hole runs deep. I am not keen to explore it.

This does not happen if I search something mainstream, like Rick and Morty. I haven’t not found another search term that produces this kind of results.

Now I am wondering is it my account that’s cursed, or this specific search causes some glitch in the recommendation engine?

How often does this happen when kids watch YouTube as well.

Has anyone seen this, is it a known phenomena?

Nothing public.

We’ve used SQLite in our native apps (including desktop) for years, like you’d expect. We’re considering how we could use it in the browser in a few ways now that OPFS and the ecosystem there are stabilizing. We’re also looking at some use cases server side, but not one-db-per-tenant.

I don’t think SQLite’s single-writer model would mesh well with Notion’s collaborative features. I’m actually very curious if the one-db-per-tenant concept turns out to be a good idea or a fad. To me it seems like a small app can very happily fit all their users on a single Postgres instance with much less orchestration effort, and a large app demanding of its database would hit the single-write lock thing.

> I think Apple has a good claim that this is a factual statement that is used as a security warning

I would hope that the technical protections protecting user data apply to all apps and not just apps that come from Apple's store. If an app from the store wants to access your contacts or your location, the user has to approve it. Should be exactly the same with side loaded apps.

Vender lock in such as a core operating system feature that can only be accessed with Apple approved apps would be blatant anti-competitive behaviour.

> Google have something like this when you sideload (or allow sideloading option, don't remember exactly when you get these warnings) and EU did not consider it "anti-competitive" (at least yet).

The EU and the USA have both found those warnings to be anti-competitive. In the EU's case, they have the same deadline as Apple to fix it. In the USA, Google was recently fined several hundred million dollars (and will also be required to change the alerts).

I'm sure there will be some warnings, but it they will have to be reasonable - such as "[Name] is an app you downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it? Safari downloaded this app today from [Website URL]" - that's the message you get right now side-loading an app on a Mac, I think it would be hard for Apple to justify anything more "scary" than that.
Not to be argumentative, but:

- laws are often written by lobbyists

- you can list the information on the shelf price ticket/in ads, and still show the out-the-door price most prominently

I don't care for sales tax/VAT as a policy matter, but even less do I like the mental overhead of having to mentally inventory it every time I go shopping. The only exception is when some stores do a 'we pay the sales tax' sale (presumably because it's easier than marking everything down individually), and for once the sticker price is what I pay at the register.

Disagree. I've worked with engineers who were taking on much more business responsibility after two years than others who are basically moderately proficient code bots after twenty. There is a huge difference in competency at the stuff that scales well, such that some people don't even notice it's a skill at all and others instantly gravitate to it it. Principal roles are for the people who learn to do them (with some error bars of course.. And everyone knows when that happens).

I would like to reply with a quote of sir Tony Hoare's 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture: "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies".
disclaimer: founder of textql.com (yea i know the name is super obvious)

I would happily bet a kidney that not a single product that has an LLM of any kind writing SQL using next-character-prediction will ever be useful to get results for a business person in an enterprise setting (~5+ people on the data team of a company). Although it's fine for technical users as advanced autocomplete

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that as a building block: english doesn't map 1:1 to SQL at all.

"Can you get me a list of users who've ordered more than 10 red products"

doesn't make it at all clear whether you're writing
- s from u where u.ordered_more_than_10_red_products = True
- s from u where u.red_products_ordered > 10
- or any other combination of variants

15 years of VCs have poured well over 10 billion dollars claiming to solve "text to sql" of some kind and 15 year later we're still writing SQL - something something chesterton's fence... at least we don't have training sessions where data eng people sit in a room and hard code synonyms for "revenue" into thoughtspot anymore

The only way you can approach something like this at scale is w/ a mature ontology structure for your data. What that means in is a very opinionated data modeling method (handful of valid ones) that is enforced at the level of the data modeling system - dbt / sqlmesh / stored procedures, or otherwise - semantic layers are... kinda ok but mostly doesn't get there on expressiveness either

^lots of ways to do the above, small handful of cool people who are working on it. (yes that kinda includes us - sorry for the implicit self promo)

- obvious second disclaimer that if your "database" is 3 tables w/ clearly labeled joins, feel free to disregard everything I just said

- oh, also the correct query according to chatgpt is
SELECT u.user_id, COUNT(o.product_id) AS total_red_products
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON u.user_id = o.user_id
JOIN products p ON o.product_id = p.product_id
WHERE p.color = 'red'
GROUP BY u.user_id
HAVING COUNT(o.product_id) > 10;

- obvious 4th disclaimer - if i'm wrong, i don't know what i'm talking about
The speed here is concerning to me. This is way short of what I'd expect or hope for. I hope in the future reviewers start testing this sort of thing when doing in depth reviews; this should be very visible high pressure an objective.

Hopefully there's wins available & this isn't some silly unadvertised hardware gotcha. Higher mtu, trying some parallelism are two good suggestions I heard.

One other thing I'd note: it's only been very recently that Linux has learned how to let the USB and DisplayPort negotiate/allocate bandwidth. It was evenly split between the two until March. Linux 6.3 Adds Thunderbolt/USB4 DisplayPort Bandwidth Allocation Mode. Linux 6.3 Adds Thunderbolt/USB4 DisplayPort Bandwidth Allocation Mode

It's unclear how automatic this bandwidth management is under what systems; users might need to use the new thunderbolt-utils from July to adjust it manually. Intel Rolls Out thunderbolt-utils To Manage USB4/Thunderbolt Devices On Linux. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Linux-thunderbolt-utils

I really want to hope much better is already possible. I don't own any USB4 systems though! How awesome they are. I hope we see some cool all-in-one's with multiple USB4 in; upcoming Minisforum V3 tablet for example has at least one usb4 that can do DisplayPort In, if I understand, for example, and that capability feels like it should just be coming for free now on PC's USB4 ports!!!

Thinking about it, the brokers might be the best companies with deleting data.

"If I don't have previous data on you requesting deletion, I won't know next time I encounter your data so I'll just re-add it."

Let's see how well it pans out. But for now, they found 120 matches in different levels. They generated a report based with screenshots and links.

Paid for ultimate. They have already removed some of them.
I don't think the remarks have come with enough context to meaningfully comment on that.

Having said that, I strongly suspect you're correct about that, though I'd also guess that personality traits are also a very important component, and those are also not handed out "fairly".

"Our PostgreSQL TPC-C implementation utilizes c3p0 for connection pooling...The problem is that...synchronized code might be deeply embedded within the libraries you use. In our case, it was within the c3p0 library. So, the fix is straightforward: we simply wrapped the connection with a java.util.concurrent.Semaphore. With this change, virtual threads are blocked on the semaphore and, crucially, release the carrier thread instead of delving inside c3p0. Thus, we never block inside c3p0 because we enter c3p0 code only when there is a free session available."
