Yes, I think it's reasonable to say the NoSQL community drove the JSON columns in the relational databases. And while the JSON-ness of said columns is not necessarily the relevant bit to me, having the escape hatch of being able to just sort of splat out a "other" column has been something I've used several times, and it has relieved some non-trivial stress and strain in relational designs in my opinion. It's not even that hard to migrate something out of the JSON column if you want to raise it to a full column later, and JSON indices mean you may not even really need to.

I have a hard time justifying a document database in 2024 when I have 2024 Postgres; I don't know how large the window is where MongoDB will do something Postgres won't, but I know my systems are not in that window. (Assuming it even exists, which I wouldn't be surprised it doesn't, but for the sake of argument I will assume it does.) But a decade ago that would be a much harder decision if I truly had a document-based use case.
Aww, yes. It’s so nice being able to wrap giant schema and data migrations in a transaction so the whole process is atomic.
I had the same thought, but it does seem that tensorflow usage is in steady decline.

that would have to do with the amount they are stealing - not how badly they need it.

so, yes, someone who is hungry and stealing bread is the same as someone who is full and stealing bread should get the same punishment.
I think others would for the reason described in sentence directly before it. Which, as "so" indicates, is the logical predecessor.

I used to write code for financial traders. I promise you that there are a lot of people who do not give half a shit what a company's up to as long as they can buy it for $100 and sell it later for $101. And based on infinite news reports, we can all see there are plenty of CEOs who will do pretty much anything that will boost the stock price in the short term so that they get to keep their jobs longer.
This is a poorly written article, it almost appears whole paragraphs are missing. For instance the phrase "an impossibly high value when compared to Planck’s measurements" is not explained at all. (Planck was a physicist, but I suspect they're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_(spacecraft)

I think what it's actually saying is that we've confirmed that the Hubble tension is real. Whether or not that means different parts of the universe are accelerating at different speeds is still not clear. If the meaning of the results is deeper than that, it seems to have completely eluded the author who nonetheless wrote a breathless exaggeration of the findings.

EDIT: In 2024 actually I have to wonder if any humans were involved in the making of this article. It certainly doesn't appear to have passed an editor's eyes.
Google Plus had 100 million active users. Wouldn't have called that mainstream either. Apple's iMessage has 1 billion MAU - that's the kind of scale that Apple can achieve, instead of being a niche novelty for most people, or as others have brought up, the go-to tool to write essays for English 207.
Some people use pop culture trivia as the basis for their identity, get preoccupied by trying to prove they’re a ‘real fan’ to other people just like them and forget to enjoy any of it.
I don't know how stressful my life will be then, but I thought about reading to my kids later and creating audiobooks with my voice for them, for when I am traveling for work, so they can still listen to me "reading" to them.

So can PostgreSQL be with JSON types and queries.
Well at least 5 years ago it became clear you should value those tickets at ~$0 at most startups when making career decisions, so those tickets come at significant opportunity cost even if the other money is "good."
Not setting environment variables is indeed solved by not setting environment variables - but `source ./environment` is what's written on the announcement page at the top of this thread. './revng' doesn't appear anywhere on it.

You haven't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH but other people will do. Also LIBRARY_PATH, and put other stuff on PATH and so forth. Module systems are especially prone to this, but ending up with .bashrc doing it happens too.

You have granted the user the ability to override parts of the toolchain with environment variables and moving files to various different directories. That's nice. Some compiler devs will appreciate it. Also it's doing the thing Linux recommends for things installed globally so that's defensible.

In exchange, you will get bug reports saying "your product does not work", where the root cause eventually turns out to be "my linker chose a different library to my loader for some internal component". You also lose however many people try the product once, see it immediately fall over and don't take the time to tell you about the experience.

I think that's a bad trade-off. Static linking is my preferred fix, but generally anything that stops forgotten environment variables breaking your software in confusing ways is worth considering.
The problem is Drew is being really hostile towards the actual maintainers and core contributors of Redis who are looking to move on towards an actual open source fork.

He changed the license, moved the code, chosen the name and the direction all on his own without consulting anyone in the community.

His history had made me like that he forked it, but his actions and behavior towards the maintainers of Redis and absolute unwillingness to meet in the middle to collaborate really puts a hold on Redict being more than a fleeting thought.

Linux Foundation, core contributors to Redis and what seems to be the majority of the community is rallying around Valkey, so I don't see Redict going anywhere except in a niche subset of users.
Most humans eat animals and indirectly participate in animal torture by eating meat of animals who spend their lives from birth to death in conditions indistinguishable from torture. There may be a stated belief in animal consciousness, but revealed preferences show otherwise.

I still see ads for cigarettes and I still get nauseated by second hand smoke when in public places. I don't think we have solved the smoking problem at all. I don't particularly care about the ads, but the second hand smoke is a major problem.
One of the lessons I learned as a kid that I’m trying to pass onto my kids: don’t let school get in the way of learning.

There are things schools can’t or won’t teach and unfortunately for them, there value was significantly tainted when parents got to see what was happening every day in the classroom.

I’m pulling my kids to go to see the solar eclipse in Texas next week. They’ll get to experience something that won’t happen again in the US for another 20 years, get to visit family they rarely see, and go to parts of the country they’ve never been to. Obviously I find more value in that than the day of school their missing.
Yeah I don't regret the work that I put into my failed projects for the same reason :)
I'm not sure about parents in general, but I think schools do provide a tremendous amount of value now, the same as they did back when I was attending.

But that's overall, in aggregate. All those drops fill up a river. But a single drop won't be missed.

Two different methods give different results for the same parts. Very poorly phrased article.
I remember well how in the early 2000s everybody wanted to get away from their relational systems and NoSQL (Not only SQL) databases were the latest fashion. Looks like we have come full cycle.
There is a strong case to be made that Jesus was basically a rip of Dionysus; ritual cannibal sacrifice (eat my body and drink my blood), son of zeus (son of god), born to a virgin when visited by an eagle (born to virgin mary when visited by a dove), resurrection in the spring (Easter), both turned water into wine, and Dionysus wore a crown of thorns.

Dionysian festivals, although not proven (it's hard to find samples of ancient ritual wine), are strongly suspected to mixed something psychedelic (probably ergot) into wine as part of their ceremonies. Of course, that trance inducing wine was the blood of Dionysus. And how could it not be? You drink it and feel the essence of a god right after (the trip).

What are you drawing an analogy to explosions with in this comment? The Big Bang? Why do you expect the analogy to be as precise as you seem to take it to be?

> With MongoDB, we lost out on many nice features from the relational world ...

> ... this hurt in particular because our data was very much relational.

That is my best attempt at the summary.

The write-up is good, but after you've been around a long (long) time ... you know what this is likely going to involve.

Glad relational SQL is still going strong 50 years later.

> I spent six years attending French classes and three of Latin. I can't read, write, speak, or understand either one.

I spent ~4-ish years learning Spanish in high school and was the same. HOWEVER, after visiting Puerto Rico for the first time, I was genuinely surprised with how much was still rattling around in my head and how quickly I picked up new words and phrases. I was eventually able to navigate a restaurant without English at all in the few weeks I was there. No way I could have done that without the background I got during school.
Last chance for decades without going to another continent. I’ll likely be dead before I can see another. My kids were too young to remember the last one, some chance they’ll never see another. We’re going, too—first time we’ve taken them out for something other than illness or a doctor’s appointment or something.
Local ferries are speed sensitive, and unless ultra light and with hydrofoils, drag from speed will kill the feasibility of battery electric high speed ferrying. If done anyways, you'd need almost MW scale charging infrastructure to make rapid round trips. Ferries often don't even tie to the dock, they just continuously push against the dock while passengers unload and reload, and turn around to resume travel.
They are some of the only ones I trust to actually discover and report fraud in the market. They have a direct stake on being correct and presenting irrefutable evidence of their claims, because if they are wrong they lose tons of money on their short bets. If they are correct they profit from their short bets and wrongdoing is exposed and punished. How is that contributing nothing to the world? Your whole comment is suspect. Who do you work for?
Is this a discrepancy a MOND variant could account for?
We have some pretty good ideas about just how "lumpy" the explosion of the big bang should have been. And yes, the best theories in cosmology disagree with the recent observations highlighted in this article. On the other hand, those cosmological theories are rooted in extremely strong physics which does things like predict various attributes of particles that have been measured extremely precisely and were predicted correctly. So the Hubble tension is real. My money is on the theory needing revising, but how? There are no great candidates for something to replace the standard model and our best theories in cosmology. There are plenty of candidates, but no obvious methods to choose a best one. This is science! Remember, the most exciting words in science are, "huh, that's odd." The Hubble tension is extremely odd!
given everything we already know about the fabric of spacetime, this makes sense. Every time we expect there to be an even distribution, we find more structure. So if something like dark energy is the driver of the expansion, and there is an unequal distribution of that, then this would be an expected outcome.
But of course, without this new data it would be difficult to believe!
Mozilla's Persona was a valiant attempt to save authentication from the Apple/Google/Facebook trifecta, but it failed because it wasn't easy enough to implement and there was chicken-and-the-egg adoption problem.

Put the # of days missed each year on the high school transcript and allow employers to filter job applicants on this basis. Make federal student aid for college conditional on having few high school absences. That would reward attendance.

If you go and look at levels.fyi as an engineer in a startup, you get almost the exact same cash compensation as a FAANG engineer but now you have a bigger slice of a lottery ticket, can grow your career faster, and generally you are likely to have a 'free spirit' kind of workplace.

Even if the startup goes 'total loss', you lose nothing compensation-wise and get picked up 48 hours - 3 weeks later by another place.

Maybe I am anti-jaded (?) but I can't understand the allure of being employee number 290,000 where your job is to change the color of a button back and forth. Is $150k+ in cash really not worth actually being useful to a company?
It's straightforward to reject random noise as having no information content.
Optical interconnects within a system are very much a possibility, but they are prohibitively expensive.

Going from copper to optics and back again at the other end is significantly more expensive than using mechanical connectors. The complexity of optical fibers and their interconnects also adds a lot more assembly difficulty and failure opportunity.

We still have a lot of headroom in copper interconnects, but it’s getting more and more difficult to squeeze bandwidth out of longer distances interconnects like those between your CPU and your GPU slot. Next generation systems might need retimer chips at the halfway point to basically rebuild and retransmit the signal so it can make it the full distance. We also have to use more expensive PCB materials to reduce the cost. There may come a day when we have to connect the CPU and GPU optically, but it’s going to be a while before we get there.

Okay. I am a professional astronomer at the University of Washington, and I don’t see that phrase as holding very much meaning. In particular, “flow” is a messy word to use.

A generous reading of the OP might be that it is a restatement of special relativity, but then it is indeed disconnected to this measurement. An uncharitable reading would be that it is spiritual goop.

Anyway, I prefer to let someone answer in their own terms.
Richer kids get more vitamins and high quality food in general, have more exercise, have good winter clothing, clean and warm bed sheets, their home isn't full of mold and other problems, their water might be higher quality...
This. Even if I don’t fully agree with the motives, it’s dishonest to say they are just afraid of science and math ignoring the politicized atmosphere we’ve been dealing with in recent years across all spectrums of society.

Isn't concrete very alkaline by itself? Also where is the carbon dioxide coming from?
I've found this interesting and have read up a little on it. I believe there have been a good amount of studies trying to verify the different measurement methods. I believe they have made some progress in verifying the methods but I'm sure there is still more work to do. I think this is mainly in attempts to deal with the "cosmological crisis."
Funny enough, when I've tried to introduce (indoctrinate) friends to DOOM, "how do I aim up" has consistently been the biggest hangup.

This makes sense when I try to indoctrinate my teenager who grew up on Halo and Call of Duty. But I began noticing this hangup in the late 90s with friends my own age.
Most researchers cannot agree on what consciousness is. If we cannot even get a straight, agreed upon answer on what consciousness is how can we actually make these sorts of claims?
Obviously, not all of them are homeschooling for religious separatism reasons, and whenever there's a homeschooling article on HN, you'll see all the success stories post in defense of the practice. For every one of those successful individuals, how many are not so successful? We may never know, because most states don't even measure outcomes and/or make it illegal to even check on the progress of homeschooled children.
That was an example of the sort of thing that someone might reasonably have used MySQL+MyISAM for in the past. I wouldn’t use that combination at all today.

How would having 99 counterfeit stamps violate that law?

I think you/the other person (assuming that's what their question meant) took it as "each page printed only has 99, but they're still printing multiple pages per run" while I meant "each run has 99 stamps, then they distribute them."

edit or you think the law could be based on how many counterfeit stamps they had made, not possession. Dunno, we're really spending too much time attacking my bullshit hypothetical that was meant to say "make it hard for the law to have a loophole."
That’s how they fund their research, otherwise this would be private and closely guarded information available only to people with deep pockets. There is quite enough of such establishments in the market on the long side.

As someone for whom the pandemic inverted the hierarchy of needs around school, we are still homeschooling because public school around here is a glorified day care full of busy work. The one thing we are missing is the socialization part and are working to address it. But I promise you, we ware not bible thumpers, nor concerned about the curriculum per-se. Rather, the slow plodding movement through the curriculum and soul-crushing aspects of bored kids.
Perl did not and has not failed. Not even remotely.
That's great, but that's not why these stats have gone up so much, and while that is technically "truant" in Germany, it's not in the US. The kids in these stats aren't going on fieldtrips or even vacations with their parents (it's funny that you can tell the wealth class of this little forum based on people making this claim.) Their parents are at work most of the time or maybe even just sitting at home with them. If you've ever grown up in a poor area, it's much easier to understand why the stats are going up.
Secure defaults and containers is kind of an oxymoron.

Also the "secure" defaults don't matter much if you have to manually jump through hoops in sysctl and modprobe to get things to work. Infact I could even argue that this introduces the risk of having an insecure server by misconfiguration.
Why do corporate MIT-licensed projects have CLAs then?

(That's not meant a gotcha, I just don't really know how this stuff works)
I honestly think the stats are being twisted and a lot of crime goes un-reported, hence the appearance of crime going down. As much as I hate the media and their constant call-to-outrage, some aspect of what they're now doing is trying to inform people that "there's a problem here".
I get that the universe can be expanding, and that there might be different methods to calculate/measure this that have discrepancies. But that the rate of expansion is accelerating, how in the world is that possible?
