Show HN: Latitude – Developer-first embedded analytics
Hey HN ,

I'm Gerard, co-founder @ Latitude. Over the past two years, we've been building data tools aimed at both technical and non-technical folks. After numerous tweaks and revisions, we chose to keep the best features, ditch the rest, and develop a code-first, open-source approach that's laser-focused on embedded analytics.

Latitude is an embedded analytics framework designed with developers in mind. It integrates seamlessly with your database or data warehouse, leveraging SQL and straightforward frontend components.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and are on the lookout for contributors!
My #1 complaint about Rust is that leaking a future is safe. It means the compiler can’t check for async coroutine leaks, and it breaks the borrow checker’s ability to say “nothing else has a reference to this any more”.

Anyway, we’re using golang for some stuff at work, and holy crap, I forgot how terrible it was to work in high level languages that don’t statically check for correct synchronization.

If C++-style concurrency is like a chainsaw, then golang concurrency is like a chainsaw in a bouncy castle.
intel nuc for media stuff (small, quiet, efficient: core i3, enough ram and ssd)

NAS system for backups and media stuff which doesn't fit on intel nuc (sits in a different room, is often enough off)

Windows based desktop pc (i7, 48gig of ram, nvms) for gaming and lightroom (editing media)

Thinkpad x3x0 for linux things

Macbook m1 based for work
Also worth noting that both Opera and Vivaldi are just closed source Chromium skins (on the non-iOS platforms; on iOS they're both WebKit of course)
That doesn't work if you need to RMA the disk. So best to encrypt before you put anything on the disk
Correct. There's a reason every wireless gaming mouse uses a custom protocol + dongle.
We phantage, but not to the extent as others.

That said, I must highly recommend not using in attempt to “fix” one’s aphantasia.

Edit: I recommend to stick to shrooms if you can.
That blows my mind. I had two dogs as a kid, and if we didn't pick up the poop fast it destroyed the grass underneath. Their corner of the yard was all dead grass.
Where it should end is with humans creating engineered (whether genetic-engineered, or using fungi, etc. is irrelevant) foods and materials such that we don't need to be farming, brutalizing, and killing animals and plants on industrial scales, deforesting vast regions to graze cattle, etc.. We are likely generations away from that, but it does seem to be the direction we're headed.
This entire thread is missing what the study is actually saying.

> Based on these criteria, the top 10 videos were selected from the daily world ranking within the selected categories during 32 consecutive days. Within the Videogames category, the three most popular clips of each day were selected (n = 960) and within the IRL category, clips from the subcategories JustChatting (n = 320), ASMR (n = 320) and Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches (n = 320)

Anyone focusing on the idea that women are sexualizing themselves or that most women on Twitch are just softcore porn / taking advantage of lonely men / whatever the narrative is today misses it entirely. This study is saying that of all the women on Twitch, the overwhelmingly male audience chooses to watch the ones that sexualize themselves. This is a study about Twitch's mostly male-viewerbase and who they choose to watch, not a holistic sample of female streamers.

You can't measure this by popularity for the simple fact that the women who play games on Twitch are far far less popular than men who do. And any woman who cultivates an audience of primarily other women will be an order of magnitude less popular than that.
There are tons of sources that help you understand what the punishment is for not following the DMA:

> The DMA would constrain gatekeepers’ behaviour while forcing them to proactively open up to more competition. Those in breach of the rules face penalties of up to 10% of their yearly turnover and repeat offenders face being broken-up.

The same thing happens with recycling as well. I forgot the exact number, but if all US households recycled perfectly it would amount to something ridiculous like <1% of total recycle waste, because of the gargantuan industry waste.

In general sometimes it gets really difficult to be the good citizen. Over here in The Netherlands, we have a special inheritance provision for family businesses, where below €1 000 000 in size you pay zero inheritance tax. Due to intense lobbying, it has now been extended to any company, except that companies above €10 000 000 have to pay 25% tax. So now it includes gigantic billion euro companies like Heineken.

Stuff like that makes me scratch my chin and think “fuck you, I am going to dodge and cheat any tax I can”. And I generally fall in the camp of “tax me to death and build great things with it.”
Ah thank you, I was certainly misunderstanding!
> usually there's 10x as many people streaming the softcore porn "Just Chatting" section as watching games.

This isn't true - e.g. right now the Just Chatting category has 380k viewers, while e.g. Valorant by itself has 180k viewers, let alone the rest of the gaming categories.

I wish they did a better job of partitioning twitch between the two though - twitch uses its recommendation engine to try and push Just Chatting streamers on people, with no way to opt out

I am not a hedge fund investor, but was an early-ish Tesla investor. I agree with the thesis. It is also why I have SpaceX equity exposure. The people who are at these orgs are driven by the mission and at the top of their game, which leads to rapid and substantial value creation.

That is not to say there aren't some diamonds at second class orgs, but they are not empowered by the org; on the contrary, the org holds them back, leading to either value destruction or an anemic value creation trajectory as a whole.
The Single Convention on Narcotics [0] (heavily influenced by US's policies) and the later Convention on Psychotropic Substances [1] extended the same bullshit to all signatories, so no, no other countries could research either.

I'd advise learning some history before berating me with bullshit.

Edit: the repercussions of these conventions extend to this day even when countries attempt to legalise just cannabis, like Germany's case when moving forward with their legalisation which infringes on EU law against illicit drug trafficking [2], procedure 2001/0114/CNS is a direct side-effect of the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances [3] started... By US's policies against drugs in the 60s-70s. It's a direct link creating issues to this day by puritan American values.

Of course there are no sources that say Apple will be fined close to that. That's because the title states that Apple could be fined close to that
I'm on board with that idea, as long as we can also provide guardrails against the perverse incentives of paying for them. E.g., we need to avoid frivolous reviews/replication as well as something evolving into a "pay for a good review" service.
Yeah, I responded to what you quoted, which isn't comparing to other viruses. Which is why I said it doesn't answer their question.

MMS limitations are only relevant because Apple makes them relevant. I have never sent or received an MMS outside of the iMessage interoperability context. This is obviously deliberate.

Airbus is a threat, but they have a huge obstacle Boeing doesn't: they don't build planes in the US except for the A319-320-321. Any defense contract won with an Airbus airframe as its basis (e.g. NG's KC-X submission based on the Airbus A330 MRTT) also includes the expense and possible difficulty building a factory in the US to manufacture them. Boeing may have a bad reputation for screwing up manufacturing, but that's a known quantity vs. the giant question mark that is the quality of a theoretical Airbus factory--- run by a US defense contractor rather than Airbus--- that hasn't been built.

There's a ton of nuance to it. It's all about context and with what confidence can you derive that a candidate is suitable based on the available context.

Alice might have the qualifications you listed, but never worked in fintech startups and therefore needs additional probing. Bob on the other hand might have none of those qualifications, but has worked exclusively in fintech startups, and would therefore require different evaluation.

This kind of context-appropriate evaluation ofcourse becomes prohibitively expensive when you're filling hundreds of positions per month.

Winter Storm. Blizzard has a specific meaning:

In the United States, the National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a
severe snow storm characterized by strong winds causing blowing snow that
results in low visibilities. The difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm
is the strength of the wind, not the amount of snow. To be a blizzard, a snow
storm must have sustained winds or frequent gusts that are greater than or
equal to 56 km/h (35 mph) with blowing or drifting snow which reduces
visibility to 400 m or 0.25 mi or less and must last for a prolonged period
of time—typically three hours or more.

Sure, but why stop at 'sexualization'.

Surely mere good looks, for either sex, are an unfair advantage, or ripe for exploitation.

An attractive, comforting voice?

What about having something interesting to say?
you would think that.... This 'runway'/grass field was named an international. They thought it was funny to do. The naming group did not really seem to care all they cared about was the letter code was unique.
Interesting insight from the article:

Apple builds incredible user experiences, which gains them loyal customers who collectively have massive market power, which Apple can then effectively wield to get its way — a way that involves maximizing the user experience. It’s a virtuous circle.

I went to a wine tasting party about 15 years ago. All blind and everyone was to bring a red. I think that was the only requirement. Silicon valley techies so most the wines were in the $30 to $50 range with a few closer to $100 and 20+ total bottles. The most chosen bottle was 7 Deadly Zins, a not particularly expensive old vine zinfandel.
One of the most beautiful examples of religious architecture I have ever seen in person. Definitely can get lost in the thousands of little details. Really puts me to shame calling myself an engineer when I other engineers accomplish things of that scale.
You assume the US can just sue however they want.

In practice, even the US DOJ holds back, for fear their lawyers won't be as good as Apple's (or other company's). Which, on one hand, shows the relative impartiality of the court system. On the other hand, it means that just as much as a corporation would likely loose a lawsuit against a tech giant, the US government also fears that outcome.

Also, unlike a civil matter, losing an antitrust case could be disastrous for the government. The Microsoft case, for example, was a technical victory, but a practical loss that put fear in the government to use antitrust action for almost 2 decades. From their perspective, it way too much work (5 years of litigation) for too little an outcome (yay, we've decoupled Internet Explorer and got a few concessions). And the main reason why, was because the judge squawked and broke ethics rules, which was awfully unpredictable and unpreventable.
TIL, thank you for informing me.
Welders usually do a demonstration weld as part of the interview.

Architects bring a portfolio, and walk through it. And licensed architects have a majorly huge ordeal of a licensing process. After obtaining an accredited degree, you have to get signoff on performing 3,740 work hours in six areas of architecture practice (AXP, architectural experience program). You may need to work at multiple firms to get this experience, since not all firms do all types of architecture work.

You'll also need to take the ARE (Architect Registration Exam) and any state suplemental exams. The ARE is actually 6 separate exams, the shortest is 2 hours 40 minutes; total test time is almost 20 hours, but with breaks you're looking at 24 hours 20 minuted total appointment time. Most candiates prep and take one test at a time, but you've got a 5 year rolling window to pass them all, and the tests change from time to time. I'm not looking up how long the California suplimental exam takes, but I'm guessing it's at least a couple hours.

Some of the test is multiple choice stuff, but there's interview based tests and probably some practical work.

If you're thinking of becoming an architect because interviewing will be more straight forward, let me save you some of your life and say, don't do it. Anyway, most of the fun work is delegated to juniors/interns; if you want to make reasonable money, you've got to get up to partner, and then you're only doing client relations and very little design.

I took a government provided standardized test of computer knowledge to work at a school district in 1997, and it was full of useless questions about early 1980s tech. I can only imagine the depths of forgotten knowledge that would be needed for a Software Developer certification program. How many hours of debugging BASIC or bringing up a 68000 board from scratch would we all have to do in our work experience program? Or formal methods: in my 20+ year career, I've never gotten anything remotely close to a specification that could be used for formal methods, but I bet I'd need to get work hours and study up for the test.

Google (as in, the corporation, not the search results) says anything derived from AGPL code may be covered by the AGPL license. It's enough of a threat that internal use of AGPL licensed tools is forbidden at both Google and Apple and probably others.

That "up to" makes me nervous that 10% won't happen, but I love the idea of smacking companies with real fines for not complying / maliciously complying with laws.
There is no guarantee that when you break down and reform something, the end result is in any way “better”. This is especially true for reality.

Well years ago everyone was screaming that it was misogynistic to not want sexual content on the platform ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just leave this here https://booba.tv/
> "The sexualized representation of women in the media shapes gender attitudes, dehumanizes women, and legitimizes violence against them"

Nah, that's total bullshit. Dehumanized by sex? That's literally what made us human!

Immodesty is not violence.
> Porn is generally the least interesting thing a female creator can do in the attention economy and it just reinforces existing gender stratification.

This thinking is just divorced from reality.

Generally, women are able to use their sexuality to their advantage more so than men.

This is not new. The research here is not novel. We’re discussing something that 99% of the world intuitively knows and is basic human behavior.

In some ways this whole industry creates it's own problems because airlines don't want to get pay to get their pilots certified for new planes. So Boeing tried to engineer their way out of the problem and hack in some changes to make an entirely new design fly like an old 737-800. Southwest Airlines was a major contributor to this as the largest purchaser of 737s in the world, because you know, god forbid Southwest's pilots had to get certified to fly a new plane once every 50 years.
some people use anarchist as term similar to "vandal", "rioter" or "terrorist", just a rogue element at the time causing destruction or chaos.

> You're quite literally leaving zero room for things improving over time

In some sense, yes. "Improvements" that break my workflow--where before said improvement a sequence of UX interactions produced a result and afterwards the result isn't any longer there or the interactions are no longer possible--aren't worth the price. So I'm all for non-breaking changes, just don't ever change anything in such a way as to break existing users.

> technology can enable new features

Great, so build those new features in such a way that they don't break existing users--i.e. such that I do not notice them.

> we just get better at building UIs over time

Congratulations! I'm happy for you! But I'll be really unhappy if you use me as a guinea pig to test out your newfound abilities.

If you want to have the real experience, get a real server.

It makes it harder due to having a real bios/uefi and you need some kvm solution they offering.

It makes it much clearer how much harder it is to reformat your disk etc. and how you can recover from an outage.

You also need some daily drivers to use it for. Like plex for your media collection perhaps.
This doesn't even mention the Private Equity takeover of the music production side of the industry which is equally sad.

Everything is about subscriptions and recurring revenue now. For things like Splice or Arcade, sure, I get it - constant content updates requires consistent revenue. No problems there. But it seems more and more companies are turning to a subscription/platform model versus just selling me a DAW or VST and that being the end of it. No wonder standalone analog hardware is making a comeback - no hassle or dongle or bullshit required.
you might want to write your own; i hacked httpdito together for this purpose one weekend. you won't find anything that beats it on 'really minimal' by more than 2 kibibytes :)

readme: http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/httpdito-readme

source (single file):
http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/server.s

it might be reasonable to configure its port and mime types map on the command line instead of in the source, but at the moment it's arguably a bit too zero-configuration

it runs on linux, can handle about 20000 hits per second, has about 20 kilobytes of memory footprint when idle, and needs another 4 kilobytes per concurrently open connection (though the kernel needs several times that)

20000 hits per second is not really fast in the sense that other servers on the same hardware and kernel can handle more than twice that, but it can saturate a gigabit pipe if your files average 7 kilobytes or more

> > Nothing compared the historic cities of Europe.
>What do you think Barcelona is?

Not historic. Well some of it is, there is a tiny small town core that dates back to Roman times. The vast majority of the city only dates back to the 1900s. They were just lucky that Gaudi and other great architects practiced then and built landmarks that really should be preserved for as long as we can. Don't make a mistake though, Gaudi and peers built the city we know in the 1900s which isn't very old.
I don't know if things were better back then but building something using telnet is a lot simpler than most of modern web development.
