Yeah the high level information is good, and the buffer cache analysis is super neat. I haven't seen that kind of thing elsewhere. It's a great article to explain why performances differences exist. My list of gripes is probably more about Amazon marketing suggesting that something is big or high-performance or scalable when it's... not.

If you're something like a bank, you need synchronous replication, but a lot of use-cases would probably be fine with async with a couple ms RPO. Then again most people probably don't need more than a few thousand writes/second anyway. For banks, I worked on storage arrays at IBM ~10 years ago, and I think our synchronous replication was sub 100 us, but can't remember anymore.
My point is that it's the interaction with the device that causes a difference. We should not assume OP's note-taking methodology to be equivalent to regular typed notes, because the interaction is substantially different.
Ask HN: How did yall meet your SO?
First of all, sorry if this is off-topic.

I am pushing 30 and have been unable to find a partner. I just wanted to hear your stories (maybe some advices, too).
Part of it is finding a company that doesn't work you to the bone. I have a normal 9-5 in a very technical field but the PTO is generous, nobody is counting my hours, and as long as I deliver reasonably in the timeframe they're looking for everyone is super happy. There were years that I was working at most 4 hours a day. Now it's closer to the full 8 but the pace of the day is not grueling.

This falls under the generic umbrella of taking care of yourself. Take breaks, eat and sleep well, exercise... These all help with energy levels and mood.

Another one that was very helpful for me is to find a hobby you really enjoy outside of the field of your work. For years all I did for hobby and work was programming. It got me really far, really quickly in my career but I burnt out hard one year. Even though I thought I was enjoying myself the whole time. So I picked up music, drawing, reading (non-tech)... All helped me disconnect and get better. Doing things a little bit every day will see surprising gains.

Isn't the problem with perjury that you don't need to prove what you say in court is true, but to prove someone committed perjury you have to prove what they said was a lie?

It's not easy to prove someone lied.

>> also be a pilot with the suitable type ratings to fly the stuff they build.

Why the pilot? When it comes to handling these machines, the pilots are one small corner. I would think that someone with experience keeping them safe and functional would be more on point these days. How about someone with the ratings for maintaining the machines? No pilot has ever inspected let alone installed a door plug.
This varies from US state to US state, but at least in Georgia the answer is no. We have to register ahead of time (usually when obtaining a driver's license for our current address), and voter registrations are cross-checked against other records of residency. On election day, we have to vote at an assigned location, and that location has a list of the people who are allowed to vote there that day. When you check in, they check you off of that list. People who vote early or have requested a mail-in ballot are scrubbed from that list ahead of time.

A fake ID, let alone a photo of a fake ID, is not going to get you past the registration step nor the in-person verification step. At best a truly good physical fake ID might get you through to vote in another person's name, if you know where they were registered and beat them to it. But that is not what this tool enables.

This system is not without its flaws. Plenty of people are disenfranchised because they either failed to properly register ahead of time, or failed to show up at the correct polling location with proper ID on election day. But AI-generated photos of fake IDs is not one of this system's weaknesses.

My experience went on for ~6 months of soap opera, similar to what you're describing, where an authorized service provider would "fix" it, and then it would stop cooling within a week or two. Then LG, or the authorized center, would diagnose some other thing that hadn't been replaced. No actual leaks were ever found, which was the problem after they replaced the compressor (the first thing they replaced, but it was on the 2nd trip), and now they had access points to check the pressure.

With the bonus that in our particular case, we were paying for the "labor" and getting the parts under warranty, which means that in the end I paid ~$1000 for repairs and LG claimed to have provided ~$1200 worth of parts (which is bullshit because an aluminum evaporator coil doesn't cost $400 unless it has a 20x retail markup). So, when they sent a check, it covered our sunk costs. But I had a fridge with a brand new compressor, evaporator, and condenser, as well as an upgraded control board/etc. This is part of the reason I took a crack and just ran it without the Yoder loop.

So, a couple of points: some other companies fix yoder loop leaks by bypassing them and feeding factory-provided heating coils through the now vacant line.

Also, the LG parts all had copper brazing points, so the tech never had to work with aluminum/steel directly.

Finally, I wonder, after your initial comment, if there was just a problem with the refrigerant charge, which was causing your fan to ice over as a byproduct because it was slightly under/overcharged from the factory.

Usually you include the database schema in the context, usually by showing the CREATE statement for the tables you want to query. I've also found that including comments in the CREATE sql can guide the model somewhat. The best approach is probably to finetune one of these models using curated questions for your database.

Also the example is ludicrous, you're saying the cops would try to blame someone for a hit and run that isn't even in a car. No, the cops are not that cartoonishly bad. Some cops in some departments may be, and I can almost guess the cities, but the average cop is not a monster, they're just some person like you or me.

I've leased 3 Nissan Leafs from the same salesman because he has a no-bs pricing model. What he advertises is exactly what you pay, no additional fees or anything. He earned a bunch of #1 salesman of the year in the world awards precisely because of that, so maybe others have something to learn.

Last renewal, the Nissans were out of my budget so I had to go with a different car, and I was brutally reminded of how absolutely awful the experience is: after seeing an ad online and emailing the salesguy to confirm the complete pricing, once I got there he started the dog&pony show of "let me talk to my manager", "that was actually just for one specific car which we already sold", "but that doesn't include these 7 fees we're adding to all cars", etc. It was disgusting.
We may be talking about different things. I thought you were referring specifically to [database cursors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_(databases)) so that's what I was talking about. If you're talking about something else, like the concept of so-called "cursor-based pagination" in general, then that is still an option even with even randomly-generated primary keys, so long as there are other attributes that can be used to establish an order (which attributes need not be visible to the a user)

I think we all struggle with this, and you need to realize that that's okay. Historically, I've indulged in short-term passion projects that have driven a high degree of learning in a short amount of time. There were also 2 different occasions where I was able to convince my boss to fund some form of on-the-job training where I learned a ton of new programming skills on company time.

In general though, I don't have the energy for it, especially throwing a wife, kids, pets, house upkeep, etc into the mix. Life gets in the way, and that's okay, because that's sort of the point - your life is supposed to come first.

There are actually carve outs for these, although I agree the fact that the HUD is "transparent" makes it ambiguous (still, I think you can argue it "reduces" the driver's "clear view").

Without those carve outs, yes, they'd clearly be illegal.

Here's the relevant provisions:

> (b) This section does not apply to any of the following:

> (1) Rearview mirrors.

> (11) An electronic communication device affixed to the center uppermost portion of the interior of a windshield within an area that is not greater than five inches square, if the device provides either of the following:

> (A) The capability for enforcement facilities of the Department of the California Highway Patrol to communicate with a vehicle equipped with the device.

> (B) The capability for electronic toll and traffic management on public or private roads or facilities.

> (12) A portable Global Positioning System (GPS), which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated.

> (13) (A) A video event recorder with the capability of monitoring driver performance to improve driver safety, which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver, in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, or in a five-inch square mounted to the center uppermost portion of the interior of the windshield. As used in this section, “video event recorder” means a video recorder that continuously records in a digital loop, recording audio, video, and G-force levels, but saves video only when triggered by an unusual motion or crash or when operated by the driver to monitor driver performance.

It … depends on the company. Some “small” companies have a burn rate of 20k, some 200k, some 2M.

I would gladly give 7% of my small company today for YC’s network and seal alone, and 10% of the money they give.
LOL. Police officers are never prosecuted. And do you know who is prosecuted even less? Prosecutors. And even less than that? Judges.

I think in all of history only one prosecutor was ever prosecuted for what is known in the USA as a "Brady violation", where the prosecutor hides exculpatory evidence from the defense, even though it routinely happens.

I tried repeatedly for many years to bring a prosecution against some cops and prosecutors for hacking offenses, but since there isn't really the concept of private prosecutions in the USA you have to rely on the prosecutor's office wanting to prosecute it's own. I even sued the prosecutor's office to try and enforce it, but the judge told me "Of course police officers are allowed to commit crimes in the course of an investigation." If I get bored at some point I will have the audio recordings pulled from the court and put them online so other people can see the insanity.

> If a student isn't a highly-motivated learner, and their goal is maximising lifetime net earnings, they shouldn't be going to college

I disagree. I think further education in valuable topics is valuable to people even if they are not motivated. I don't think getting into massive debt for this education is valuable to them. There is nothing inherent about college that requires it to be so expensive and simultaneously useless.

All the defenders of the current system always respond with the tired "college is not about teaching how to do a job, it's about teaching culture, creativity, and critical thinking" bullshit that is not backed by any data. If we go by actual results, college is about getting people into massive debt to fund college administrators.

What college and education should be about is teaching people things that can give them the ability to contribute to themselves and others.

In the short term yes, but probably not their only duty. Want the problem solved in the real world or not? Hoping doesn't work, as has been demonstrated.

Also, in country where societal trust has broken down, it could only be successful as part of a larger strategy to fix that first.

Presumably after a culture of cleanliness takes hold, "litter enforcement" would drop off.
It leaves out a hell of a lot from the 90s. From the interesting stuff happening on Amiga, SGI and other systems. To the late 90s web technologies like VRML.
Specifically on the layout section, I have been thinking along the lines of start with sensible 'seed' layouts that users will contribute, then mutate the layouts with a physics driven solver. Imagine links between components as a spring and repulsion forces to model creepage/clearance distances, you could imagine the layout warping into a suitable shape for your board. I am pretty excited to get to this bit.
The rising high school graduation rates may not be truly indicative of higher academic achievement, because of grade inflation, as documented in a 2022 article "High school grades are up, but test scores aren’t. Why?" https://www.chalkbeat.org/2022/3/16/22979947/high-school-gra....
They never actually diagnosed it, I did. They just kept replacing things until they decided they couldn't actually fix it and sent a check. At no point did LG or the authorized center actually find a leak, or suggest that it might be leaking from the yoder loop. They would come out with their leak detection equipment (both sniffers and after the dryer replacement, a UV light to detect the dye) fail to find a leak, and just replace the next thing on the list. Which usually was a three trip process for each item they replaced with a few days/week or so while they ordered the part, and queued the work detail.

I had the yoder loop conversation with the tech on the last call when they came out to verify it was still broken/unfixable, and he basically said bypassing it wasn't possible, which is odd since other companies can.
I have no experience with macOS, or trouble believing that it's even worse than Windows. That said:
I can't use WSL or PowerToys at work for (enforced) dumb policy reasons - this is possible because they're optional bolt-ons as opposed to integral parts of Windows.
PowerToys exists because the the base functionality is poor, and the contemporary PowerToys implementation leaves a lot to be desired.
And last but definitely not least, window management in Windows, with or without PowerToys, sucks donkey balls IMO, especially in heterogenous multi-monitor systems. Aggravated by the knee-capped taskbar. I mean, it's not like window management is great anywhere, but claiming that it's somehow good in Windows is rich.

Two anecdotes: starting Windows Terminal by clicking an icon in the taskbar (W10) creates a window that's not focused. W11 does away with the alt-space keyboard shortcut to open the window operations menu.
(have an upvote, no idea why you're in the negative)

I have been thinking about this for the past few years, and I think I'd go so far as to make the standard library "not special." That is, make it work similar to the edition system: cargo new would add a dependency for the latest std at the time, build-std would just be transparent, and you treat it like any other crate.

That said, I am sure there are a zillion issues with this today, especially in Rust itself, but if I were to make a Rust++, this is one of the things I'd consider trying to give a shot.
A confession may make other evidence easier to get at. If you suspect wrongdoing, but don't have probable cause to search the car/house, and the suspect says "oh yeah I've got a dead body in there", you're potentially about to be in posession of some serious new evidence you didn't have a right to get at previously.
Right. So if a high school is full of that kind of kids, someone performing well on the SAT shows more grit and perseverance than my kind of peers. Colleges should rightfully award that.

When I talk about statistics on HN it feels like I'm taking crazy pills. The HN community pretends to be intellectual, but the level of mathematical education here is terrible.

> Moreover, you're hyperbolizing yourself. Namely, you criticize the title, which is not the author's title at all. Their letter is titled "Report From Working Group on the Role of Standardized Test Scores in Undergraduate Admissions"

The authors clearly say "SAT and ACT scores are highly predictive of academic performance at Dartmouth". That is what they want to show.

And this is totally false. They cannot accurately predict high vs low academic performance based on SAT or ACT scores. Their data clearly shows this is impossible.

> Except if you read the text, that's not at all what the authors claim. The authors do not claim the title (again... that's HN's title, not the paper's). The authors say:

Huh?! That's literally their claim.

They even say in the conclusion "They are significantly predictive of academic success at Dartmouth"

This is just totally wrong. They are a statistically significant but practically insignificant predictor of academic success when you define it in the most absurd and irrelevant way (first year GPA).

> It does... in fact... mean that there is a linear relationship in the observed data with the given levels of significance.

Summarizing data with some line, without any statistics, and saying "look the line slopes up", does not mean there is a linear relationship. At all. You cannot conclude one from the other.

The fact that this isn't obvious is truly frightening.
Perhaps our standard for cops should be somewhat higher than "not a criminal"?
