Current IP is not the only way to do geolocation. IIRC it's not good enough to be compliant with at least some EU data rules
I don't think there is a way to do that with pdfium. I have tried to look at it and failed. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.
The OP says US timezone overlap and last time I checked, Canada overlapped :)
Most of the traffic is probably just bounced off the satellite down to the nearby ground station still.

I'm almost positive the project being dunked on here is older than the author. There are plenty of reasons to hate glibc, but nothing productive comes of this kind of noise. It's not like heap overflows are impossible in other languages. Consult https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/80894 or consult your preferred CVE database.

Would love to know what language the author thinks glibc should have been written in in the late eighties.

Because they're not that great? Fine if you have freshman undergrad writing skills.
It isn't written under the premise that Element and the Foundation are the same.

Rather, it's written under the premise that, at the time, there wasn't enough distinction between "The Matrix.org Foundation" and Element for it to make sense to differentiate the two as far as layoffs are concerned prior to hiring you: The Element layoff saw the firing of Matrix core contributors, and the Foundation had no employees at that time (as far as I'm aware).

The Element layoffs saw the reduction of the entirety of people concerned with Trust & Safety for Matrix. There is now one person hired by Matrix.org to handle it. This implies continuity.

The rest of the concerns listed are primarily about Element; I'm pretty confident the Foundation will end up doing okay in the long run. It is concerning that the reference implementation of the Matrix spec isn't owned by the Foundation and has a CLA, but I don't think there's a way of alleviating that concern in the present day with present funding levels, aside from Element assigning copyright of Dendrite to Matrix.org, or something.
> YouTube Premium costs more than Amazon Prime & Netflix.

In Norway:

Amazon prime 14.99 usd ~ 156nok/m (listed as "plus tax, which would be another 25% vat - but I don't think that's right)

Netflix 720p 89nok/m

Proper Netflix 159nok/m

So... No?
Is this really an important feature for DB users here?
I built my own hobby database system that was column oriented (using the metadata tagging system I invented for a file system replacement I built). It does lightning fast analytics and even outperforms SQLite in a bunch of other operations. I posted a benchmark video on my YouTube channel and made a free beta download available; but the response has been lukewarm at best.

Explain the constitutional basis for people's desire to discriminate against people of different races and religions?

The CRA exists because a bunch of shithead treason states hate the constitution's requirements that they treat people equally regardless of race. Prior to the CRA specifying that such actions had actual penalties these states routinely prevent PoC from equal employment, equal service, equal pay, and frequently the right to vote. Before you even get to the whole murdering PoC and people who support them and somehow never being able to find the culprits.

Look I get it that many people live in this delusional world where the constitution only applies if its beneficial to them, and the protections only apply if it protects them, but things like the CRA and the NLRB exist specifically to deal with those shitheads by saying "just because your state government is racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-non-christians, anti-actual-people's rights, and is generally bigoted doesn't mean you can say those policies supersede the US constitution". These laws, regulations, and institutions all came into existence at the federal level, because of treason states refusing to just obey the actual US constitution, which definitionally supersedes any shitty beliefs those rundown BS states may have.

If your argument is "restricting interstate trade in response to violating the constitution" is unconstitutional, I wonder how you reconcile that with punishing people for violating any law? after all isn't incarcerating someone depriving them of their constitutional rights?
Thank you! Hope you will like it
The examples provided are poor. Here's one: I recently asked Bard for "a good place to go with a colleague to lunch in Mountain View," and then asked it to refine to places "upscale and favored by locals." Wound up finding Cucina Venti, which I'm not sure a regular search would have yielded.

That said, it's a neat to see feature. Not a must have, certainly nothing compelling.

Yes it does. I have found it easier to start simple than try to integrate the complexity of Parquet whole hog. The Parquet format is also designed with the idea of having multiple columns in the same "file". I'm sure there are ways to split the components of a Parquet file across multiple BLOBs and be able to append those BLOBs together to create a valid Parquet file, but that is more complexity and does not lend itself to existing Parquet code. Keeping the blobs separate is valuable because it means not touching data for columns that are not being read in queries.

My understanding is that Arrow has really focused on an in-memory format. It is binary, so it can be written to disk, but they are seemingly just scratching the surface on compression. Compression is a big advantage of columnar storage because really cool compression schemes like bit packing, run-length encoding, dictionary compression, etc. can be used to significantly reduce the size of data on disk.

Arrow interop especially is a great idea, though, regardless of the storage format. And if they are developing a storage-friendly version of arrow, I would certainly consider it.
Maybe unsolicited robocalls.
I recommend the Triple P program, which is a research-backed program to help reduce problem behavior in children. It has some great tips and best practices, regardless of the presence or absence of any behavioral issues: https://www.triplep.net/glo-en/home/

Hi there, I'm Branko! I'm in search of a part time position (10-20 hours per week) in a small startup/SaaS where ideally I'd be doing a bit of everything, some kind of support engineer like position. I like interacting with and helping users, finding out what they're struggling with, and using that to help the team improve the product. For the last 4 years, I've been working as customer support specialist at a small productivity/to-do app SaaS. Besides helping users with all kinds of questions and issues, I've been writing guides for our help center, testing new features and as of recently fixing some bugs in the codebase and adding smaller features. I'm not looking to leave this position, but rather for another opportunity to learn more things and also help another team grow their product.

Recently I also launched a small SaaS for text analysis [1] that I wrote in React (used Vite, TailwindCSS, Jotai for state management, compromise and unified.js for NLP, Pocketbase for backend) and deployed via Docker on a VPS. It's far from perfect, and there are many more things to add, but I'm proud I managed to release an MVP.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

OP was likely referring to this[1] which did in fact have lines like "tesla isn't encrypting their firmware and it's really easy to glean information from the vpn with a packet cap because nothing inside the vpn (was) encrypted".

So yeah, it's possible they did.

I agree. My view is that you shouldn't write comments because if you have to, then your code isn't clear or organized well enough. If you do need a comment, perhaps to document a "Chesterton's Fence", you should put a big nice comment block to explain why and what's going on.

The reality is people don't like to read, if they do it'll be an overview of how the code is organized, they don't want to read git commits or even comments. The code is the only truth. GPT can already explain in English what the code is doing pretty well already, imagine in 2-3 years.
Sure you can. In Permazen they're expressed as set operations over collections of objects, so you use map, filter, fold etc as you would if programming functionally. Indexes are also exposed as collections.

Reads and writes on those objects are then mapped to K/V operations.
Many of the technologies I've listed are continually improved. They're not just a once and done, especially for things like compounds.

Average braking distances for any passenger vehicle class isn't even close to 200 feet, not even for pickup trucks.

https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-safety/best-and-wor...

Many of the fastest cars also have the best brakes. There are a number of them that can even get under 100'.

https://www.motortrend.com/features/20-best-60-to-0-distance...

If we want to talk trends in poor braking, we can look at Tesla and EVs in general. In many cases EVs select low rolling resistance tires with poor performance. The top quality low rolling resistance tires can be good, but many EVs have tight margins and lower end tires with less grip. It's not just weight. You can compare similar weight vehicles like a Tesla and a Silverado, and the conventional vehicle generally brakes better.
Machine code doesn’t have mnemonics either. What’s your point? There are assembly syntaxes with equal signs (The Itanium though ultimately a failure was not obscure and there are a handful of DSP ISAs that use this syntax). Not my cup of tea but your argument is specious.

> Assembly is meant to be 1:1 with machine code,

And that is nonsense as well. RISC-V is a perfect example as it has plenty of pseudo ops. (Or do you actually think that the literal machine code bytes of an add instruction are 0x41 0x44 0x44? - they’re not)

Equal signs or not, macro assemblers have plenty of ergonomic conveniences layered above machine code.

How does an equal sign break any concordance with assembly and the underlying machine code anyway?
Nonsense. Machine code doesn't have things like commas, brackets and letters, yet we use those in assembly. There's zero reason why you couldn't do my proposal.

Also assembly mnemonics aren't even 1:1 with instructions. Pseudoinstructions do pretty much anything, and even something like `add` can assemble to two different instructions depending on the arguments.

As for writing an assembler being "extremely easy"... yeah no. There's no formal grammar so you're going to be reverse engineering LLVM and GCC's hilariously messy assemblers. Or more realistically, guessing and building an enormous test suite. Not easy at all.
Might work well in open office and large public spaces though, there's quite a lot of things in between consumer and space.

It seems like you are unfamiliar with technology before the past few centuries. Beyond astrology (which was important!), people used these theoretical tools from geometry and number theory for time keeping, calendars, cartography, navigation, surveying (you mentioned), city planning, architecture, construction and analysis of machines, hydrology, water distribution, crafts such as metalworking and carpentry, accounting, optics, music, any kind of engineering involving measurements, ....

Obviously mathematicians were also excited about numbers and shapes for their own sake, and some of their activities (e.g. trying to square the circle or trisect an angle using compass/straightedge) were more like puzzles or games than engineering. But that doesn't mean the broad bulk of mathematics (even deductive proof-based mathematics) was practically worthless. Some of the most famous mathematicians of antiquity were also engineers.

Fluency with prime numbers per se (and prime factorization) is pretty useful when you are trying to do substantial amounts of (especially mental) arithmetic.

I'm not sure which "taxpayers" you are thinking about, but establishing an effective tax system and doing tax assessment and accounting is one example where having a more robust understanding of elementary arithmetic and number theory is pretty valuable. The development of the number and metrological systems and work on number theory in ancient Mesopotamia had quite a lot to do with tax accounting.
Honestly I wish we'd had an excuse/reason to do an org-wide prod creds refresh like this at some places I've been.

You find some scary things when you go looking for how exactly some written-by-greybeard script is authenticating against your started-in-1990s datastore.
As most everyone expected, Google removed "Don't be evil" as their motto with the intention of going as far in the other direction as will drive short-term shareholder value.
Knowing the size of a video file is exactly not the information, that would help me put this number in a meaningful perspective with any comparable operation.

How do I think of 42 petabytes in terms of an ISP? Is that a lot? How does it compare to other satellite providers? How does it compare to 4G capacities? Is this a small country worth of traffic or just any ol' data center? I have no intuition about traffic at this scale.
I mean I get that series like Star Trek rely on technobabble and suspension of disbelief, but surely an enemy can just... detect the frequency, or rapidly adjust their own like tuning in until it matches?
But I does sound like a lot of people for something like Okta. I think any comment explaining why it isn't would be interesting.
Admittedly, I hadn't looked recently, but that values does seem flipped around from how I remember it (then again, tier 1 was probably always a lot more minimal than tier 2).

For comparison, FreeBSD has just two tier 1 platforms: https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/

OpenBSD has 14, as you mentioned: https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html

NetBSD, I count 9: https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/

FreeBSD has an additional 14 platforms in tier 2 or 3 support (counting FreeBSD 13; 8 platforms counting only FreeBSD 14), OpenBSD has no non-tier1 platforms, and NetBSD has too many to count, but it's notable that most of them are updated to the current release.

You can see an example of this with Germany and a comparison of 2012 and 2020 - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Renewabl...

In 2012, nuclear was a fairly consistent... eyeballing it at 10% of the load.

With 2020 there's no nuclear and pumped storage becomes the flexible load while solar has a much larger portion of the total load.

If 2020 had the base load generation from nuclear, that sunny Sunday would have caused some problems.

And an old article about wind and hydro and managing that energy balance on the Columbia River - https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonbruner/2011/10/20/the-high-s...

> The enormous supply of hydroelectricity during spring runoff can push electricity prices to zero—the BPA gives away electricity to local utilities for free when it’s forced to produce more than it wants to. Since wind producers enjoy production subsidies, they can push rates below zero, effectively paying other utilities to switch off their generators. Last winter, the BPA told wind producers under its balancing authority that it wouldn’t pay negative rates to them during high-water events.

(In this example, they could put more water over the spillway to reduce the power generation so that wind wouldn't have to idle... but that would have meant mixing more air in the water and that can suffocate the fish and impact the salmon fishery in Oregon - https://www.oregon.gov/deq/wq/tmdls/pages/tmdls-columbia-riv... and https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/publications/documents/0203004.p... pages 13-15)
The thing is that writing a good commit message for future people doing `git blame` is only worth it if it's a line of code which someone in the future will look at and need to know why it was changed from its previous form to the current form.

Well what about this example: I removed a few lines of code and explained in the commit message why I thought it was correct to do that. If somebody (possibly me) comes looking for that code and realizes it's not there, they'll be much happier to see some sort of explanation rather than a "removed lines" message.

Regarding commenting in the code vs. in the commit message, sometimes I copy-paste my explanatory comment if there is one into my commit message.
