> Rust's addition of operator overloading is also a perplexingly bad decision.

You know, I don't even have a side on this never ending debate... but it's perplexing that similarly intelligent people, with similar interests and backgrounds can both make so confident blank statements such as this, one way or another! IMO that is a pretty good indication that there's no right answer, it's simply a matter of preference... and the fact that people still feel like they're right and the people who disagree with them must be making "perplexing bad decisions" is, for lack of a better word, hilarious.

> Is there a simple way to get a very rough kind of fairness between tenants in this case?

Yes, since the SKIP LOCKED query is just a special sort of SELECT that skips over locked rows, you can use all the normal SQL tools such as ORDER BY to accomplish what you want.

One way is to make the top row fair by randomizing over the tenant ID, for example

SELECT itemid
FROM queue
ORDER BY
md5(tenant_id || current_timestamp::TEXT),
item_id
FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED
LIMIT 1;

Here we append the ID to the timestamp and then hash it, so each time the SELECT is run there is effectively a different ordering between tenant IDs, hence fairness.

Note that this will eventually have performance implications for a deep queue since it forces a scan on the whole table. Adding an index on tenant_id may mitigate that, but as always do your own profiling.
> What was opposed was forced vaccines on teens using a new vaccine

Maybe in part, but there was a very large contingency that outright opposed it due to its perceived encouragement of "amoral" behavior. Exact same thing is happening now in the courts with Mifeprestone.
I learned about it 2 years ago:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11002673/Chess-play...

"The message was picked up by their mobiles on Gatwick airport's Wi-Fi servers and immediately triggered alarm bells with security because of the sensitive words used."

I thought that was weird then and I still think it's weird now, either there is a pretty big problem or the daily mail is inaccurate. This whole article is lala land from a tech perspective and I'm quite curious about it.
No amazon pays very well with RSUs. Much higher than Microsoft for equivalent titles. However, I don't know if people get 'upleveled' at Microsoft. Could be that a Senior Software Engineer at Amazon would be a Principal Engineer at microsoft or something.

That makes sense. I understand concerns like that.

It would be nice if we could just write a contract, one that states that I agree to use the source code only for personal use and that I may not use the code for a commercial product, or that I may only redistribute modded binaries for free and not modded source code, or something along those lines. That way, I could do the thing I want with it, without them worrying about if I'm going to try and rip off their game immediately. It wouldn't be as liberal as making the code open-source under something like the GPL, which isn't convenient, but it could be something of a good compromise.

Do you think that would sound agreeable? Do you (or does anyone else reading) know enough about software law to know if you can do something like that?
I think there's also an aspect of not being able to work too much because what can be done in a single day is very limited. I believe this was intentionally designed into Animal Crossing; you work a little every day and that's it. Without cheating you've got to be patient and intentional.

I suppose it speaks well for the skills (and perhaps poorly for the morals) of our best minds that they've now developed the tech to be so addictive that they can override peoples' innate desire to be useful.

If I didn't have work to go to, things would indeed be pretty dark, but that doesn't mean I'd prefer falling into a hole of substance abuse and tech addiction.

What I really want is this induction stove like this but that also has a single gas burner. Induction is great, but there are some things you can't do with it, but it covers 90% really well.

I guess the alternative is to get a portable high-output single burner butane stove that I can pull out when I want to arroser a steak, for example.
I find it interesting how many good ways of doing things have been cast aside in the name of "progress". When the dust settles we're often left with slower and more cumbersome but functionally equivalent methods: a net loss.

JINZO Paint is a mobile drawing app from 1999 that inherits the Japanese "Multi Paint System" way of doing things, which basically means the ability to do amazing palette based drawing whilst protecting certain colours or replacing colours. It's a non-destructive way of painting and quite different to selection/masking methods popularised by Photoshop.

It's incredible that even on Hacker News so many people expect that Snapchat messages are not monitored

I guess that explains why it's so used.

It's a centralized, non E2EE system, you don't expect them to flag something with "blow up", "plane" and "taliban" in the same message?

It's more likely than one of the group members reported it, but if it got flagged, sent to some five eyes system and there they noticed (manually or automatically) that the guy just boarded a plane, it doesn't sound surprising !

And actually Snapchat gets the users' position as well, it might well be that a reviewer at Snapchat itself saw that he was in an airport and reported it.

Being an immediate threat it's not surprising they acted like that.

The weird wifi story means that they know people expect privacy on Snapchat, I guess.
The per-trip risk of fatal accidents on commercial planes is approximately the same as for cars. Cars kill more people because we drive more often than we fly.

The per-mile metric always seemed disingenuous to me. The most dangerous parts of flying are takeoff and landing, which only happen once per flight.
Jeez, anything that happened in 2023 is now blamed on AI? That's some great marketing for sama.

Unfortunately it misses the point - a huge number of these layoffs were companies purchased by Embracer Group, so a big part of it is overleveraged attempt at consolidation failing spectacularly. Secondly is just game industry cycle at big companies of overhiring and cutting fat. Thirdly is overall layoffs in tech industry in 2022-2023.

AI maybe had a small role in the unusually high number of layoffs in 2023 but it's far from the biggest factor, but the more banal truth is it was a combination of different events.
Eh you can still use a lot of the regular frameworks and libraries on top of serverless, and then easily switch between cloud and on prem.

I wouldn't go all in in a stack which only worked for example on lambda, but I don't think that's the way most people are going anyway
In my opinion, you attract what you put out. So I've cultivated extremely close and meaningful relationships with the people around me precisely by always marching to the beat of my own drum. By sticking to what I believe is true and valuable (while allowing my mind to be changed), always incontrovertibly being myself (wearing who I am on my sleeve — it does what it says on the tin ;)), doing what I found rewarding and only that whenever there's a choice, and focusing relentlessly on self improvement, I attracted the sort of people who value the things I value like moths to a lamp, because I stood out and exemplified. And the kind of person I attracted by doing this is the only kind of person I'd be interested in having any meaningful relationship with. If I tried to shave off my rough edges and conform to normalcy in order to win friends and influence people, I'd attract mediocre people I don't find value in, and so although I might have more friends, it would be a hollow victory.

I think people tend to place the virtues I'm talking about — essentially uncompromising (or little compromising) independence and self expression — in opposition to emotional maturity, wisdom, and human connection, but things don't have to be that way. It depends on who you surround yourself with and how you go about expressing and improving yourself. So I didn't need to conform to have friends at all — it just happens that finding friends and being a steady rock of support and insight for them is something I find valuable and rewarding to do, and I include wisdom and acceptance and emotional maturity as aspects to self improve just as I do technical knowledge.
You're off by at least an order of magnitude, and a very common class of performance problems that exists in any language is copying and allocating memory. Python is no different, and there are plenty of facilities to address that and other normal performance issues. If you're talking strictly about CPU bound performance problems, that's a bit of a red herring considering there is an entire ecosystem of Python tools to write performant CPU bound code.
I don't know. I did enjoy the read even if I didn't agree with it very much.

I'm unsure if it's meant to be life advice or philosophy but it misses the mark on both for me.

If life advice: Sure maybe for you? Others might find they're a bit happier with a drink and their comfort TV shows in the evening.

If philosophy: Aren't mindless self indulgence and relentless self improvement both just raging against an inevitable death? In a Buddhist sort of "All life is suffering" sort of way? What about being present?

Emphasis mine.

It seems like you have a lot of reasonable questions and concerns about the efficacy of this measure, but Apple have done a pretty good job of addressing them and explaining their rationale in the first few paragraphs of the documentation.
Sure, some industries have some natural gendered 'preferences'. But a lot are historical. Women have only been in the workforce for 100 odd years, and there is decreasing desire/need to be having babies all of the time.

And in some professions, the gender divide is more of a self-perpetuating cycle (there are examples of this for both sexes), based on the historical workforce, rather than being inherently suited to one sex.

Don't these people either have much less or work much harder (alone) by opting out?

By my significant other's standards, I was very lazy in Animal Crossing... all I wanted to do was plant flowers. They wanted to build a neighborhood and collect all the furniture. I didn't grind as much, but I also wanted less.

And if it was ever here, it was only here for the blink of an eye, relatively speaking. Almost all of human history took place before recorded media was invented.
Interesting that you address a completely different point and (poster!) in response to what was written by me.

Regardless of what GP wrote, you made a claim as well.

You might be doing the wrong things while traveling. Traveling is essentially summed up as "I'm going to go experience something new in person/IRL". If you don't have any desire to do that, then it might not be for you. Otherwise traveling can come in many flavors:

- I want to experience a different culture

- I want to see something in the physical world locally

- I want to go somewhere and relax (and my current life/location doesn't let me do that)

- I want to go somewhere and meet someone (you know, don't know, who knows!)

Perhaps traveling is more the last category for you, plan trips to visit your friends and family who you don't see as often. Doesn't have to always be an exotic destination with an action-packed agenda.
They're not, they'll ship them directly to you.

> It’s fun to gather resources, to improve one’s skills, to engage in mutually beneficial exchanges, to collect things, to decorate.

It's fun to chop down a tree when it's a button press and a few seconds of waiting, and not when you actually need to swing your axe for a half hour before a single tree comes down. And then realize that you need to split the logs in half and do about 10 more to make enough firewood to last tonight's snowstorm.

It's fun to sit fish when it's a rhythm game, timing button presses, but real fish aren't predictable timing patterns for you to master, they're living beings scared of dying, trying to fight the predator that's going to kill them. It's not fun to that feeding your family tonight means getting enough fish to survive. It's not fun to realize you've run a lake dry of fish and have to move to find new food.

Animal Crossing isn't work, it's play. It's an advanced form of playing house with dolls. Of course people want to do that.

I suspect you'd run out of spectrum long before you'd run out of orbits. But we'll see. Maybe there are use-cases for megaconstelations that don't require as much spectrum as an ISP, especially once there's the ability to interface with an existing LEO-based ISP.

A year ago I would've agreed with you, but Starlink's revenue is up 600% YoY. There's enough money in Starlink for SpaceX to not risk it.

The problem of using a purely profit oriented analysis is that you missed major pieces of the puzzle. Antitrust action would be one reason that you neglected. Another reason is SpaceX's mission, which is the colonization of Mars. To do that, SpaceX need to help bootstrap an entire space economy from scratch to make colonization more than a pipe dream.

Biome maintainer here.

The zero dependency philosophy concerns the legacy Rome JavaScript implementation. With the Rust rewrite, the Rome team was more open to add dependencies when it makes sense. I must admit that I don't know why they chose to implement their own console printer at the time.

The Rome community project (rebranded under the name "Biome") started one year ago, when the company failed. Only one core contributor comes from the Rome team. Others, including myself, joined the project at that time. Although we kept most of the Rome philosophy, we diverge from some of them. We are more open to the community: We implemented some of the most requested options (The Rome project was more hostile to add options). We are also more open to reuse existing solutions when it aligns with our primary goals.

Childcare, gardening (with surplus to share, maybe!), elder care, home improvement projects. Art, writing. Collecting stories and genealogies for family. Knitting and sewing.

People do tons of work even when they’re not being told to, in my experience. It’s sometimes “worth” a ton less than the time they put into it, and they’re usually making little or no money at it, but that doesn’t make it not-work.
Yep. The book 1984 was published in 1949.
Amazing!

Training the model, although it is small with only 15M parameters, takes quite some compute power. I wonder if the resources would have been sufficient at the time. Also, I wonder if disk space would have been sufficient to store the input corpus.
It’s a risk. But it also takes a few hours to restore from backup and there’s a bunch of things that (sensibly) don’t restore and require manual setup.

I know Apple will never ask for your passcode but in the case of a repair shop that promises 15 minute service it’s kinda necessary unless you want it to take far longer and annoy them.

Ultimately with it locked down with screentime the only personal data I had an issue with was iCloud Keychain. Honestly I don’t know why Apple lets children access the full settings anyway. It would be trivial to add a screen time restriction for all features of settings except the screentime pane.
Central sever architecture is dominate because it’s easy. I can buy an IP address within a a data center and it will be routable. The lack of IPv4 addresses made giving every client on the internet an unique IP cost prohibitive for ISPs so we created NAT. The majority of clients who only connect to hosts are behind at least one NAT making them very difficult to address uniquely. The client must initiate a connection for an entry in NAT table to be added and allow for outside entry into the network. Further, more devices are mobile or on very dynamic IP systems that cause them to hop among many different IP address throughout the day or even hour. Trying to establish a connection to devices that have no static IP address is a problem that has no real elegant solutions but always defers to some known authority - the central server.

If we were to solve, once and for all, this ad-hoc, client-client connection system, P2P communication does require trust that many applications simply cannot tolerate. Game servers exist to validate client input, register actions, and distribute them to the players in the game, banking apps verify you are who you are and allow the movement or viewing of money, etc.

I don’t see a future where we fully leave the world of central servers behind but I do see one where we value P2P more and create public routing systems that enable this more freely.

Speed has no existance in space, it requires the passage of time. The one way speed of light can be measured, and is very important to the design of curcits. Anytime you wish to argue this point, take it up with RtAdrm Grace Hopper. I count myself as very very bright, but I do not hold a burning punch card to Hopper.

"Since 1 July 1959, the international avoirdupois pound (symbol lb) has been defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg. In the United Kingdom, the use of the international pound was implemented in the Weights and Measures Act 1963. (a) the yard shall be 0.9144 metre exactly; (b) the pound shall be 0.45359237 kilogram exactly."

"The kilogram is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, ℎ, to be 6.626 070 15 × 10-34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of the speed of light, , and the hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom..."

Nothing new. Rando hacker news poster, vs say... the International Standards Organization on Weights and measures. Hmm... I am going to place my faith in say... a group of people who's degrees far outnumber most of the colleges I studied at.

No, the speed of light is not defied in the "flattest" one of them. Please do your homework. "The speed of light is a universal constant denoted by c."

In my second college physics class, the final exam was one single question: "Derive the speed of light." I got a grade of 4/10, which put me at the top two students in the class. The class was a 5 1/2 month exercise in brutality of math. I would suggest you get a few college physics classes under your belt.

> Imagine if Animal Crossing was an MMO and Tom Nook was actually another human player.

I don't agree with your sentiment but I think it's an interesting question.

As a counterpoint, consider "One Hour, One Life" by Jason Rohrer [0]. It's an MMO where you spend an hour, or less, living out the life of a player character, starting off as a baby then progressing on through old age. The dynamics of the game are such that you are necessarily completely dependent on other player characters for your survival during the first few minutes of your session.

> There is a reason that most multiplayer games in which you play with the open internet are harsh and unfriendly places, ...

I would guess that this is because they're designed that way. Combat and antagonism are what's customarily used for game play mechanics, so it's no wonder they end up being combative and antagonistic towards players.

Different game mechanics lead to different styles of play. Note that the games I most enjoy playing with friends are co-op, not vs.

And it's a fair bet that SpaceX won't be the only option for putting something like Starlink into orbit over time, so SpaceX might as well take their money and keep it from funding other launch competitors (whether they eventually use Blue Origin & Co, or China, or Arianespace / EU).
