That's vague. It's not specific.

Many of those 1200 or so were soldiers. If you think numbers are important it's probably 797 or so you'd want, but it's unclear how many of those were armed. It's very common in Israel to be carrying a rifle as a civilian. It's also unclear to what extent the IDF killed israelis. We can be quite sure almost no palestinians managed to return to the Gaza strip though.

And yeah, it's just a few compared to what Israel is doing. In July last year Israel killed kids in Jenin with airstrikes. Up until September almost fifty palestinian kids in the occupied territories were killed by Israel, as everyday routine.

I don't think the resistance groups in the Gaza strip ought to have killed as many civilians as they did, but I find it somewhat understandable. It would have been better if the perpetrators were prosecuted than Hellfire:d together with israelis, to the extent that it took weeks before genetic testing lowered the death toll by a couple of hundred because the corpses had at first been counted as israeli and blamed on "Hamas".

I'm not denying any atrocities, but I'm very sceptical until I've seen very strong evidence due to the large amount of lies and half-truths that have been circulated by Zaka, IDF and israeli politicians. There were just one baby killed in the kibbutzim, by crossfire. Much of the reporting about sexual abuse has turned out to be hearsay or straight up lying. The woman who said she had identified sperm from many palestinians just relayed some made up stuff she had heard about. And so on.

I think the reaction to the violence of October 7th should have been 'OK, maybe we should adhere to international law and seek peace' rather than 'finally, let's become the ten plagues, let's eradicate Amalek once and for all'. I'm well aware that this is a minority position in Israel, and it's not for me to judge israelis, but if October 7th justifies undermining women reporting about rape and starving two million people, what wasn't the palestinians justified in doing on October 7th?

> In the US, for decades, Medicare has been known as a miserable nightmare of cost-driven inefficiency and denied service.

The reasons for that are many, and all of those are completely artificial - there are almost no political incentives to make it work well (and compete with private healthcare), and plenty of incentives to make it not work at all (because private healthcare donates a lot to politicians).

> and in the other direction "freedom of speech" gets heard as "permission to promote literal Nazis."

That's one feature of absolute freedom of speech - and that makes the freedom of speech a complicated issue with a lot of grey in the middle. OTOH, agencies such as the FCC and the FDA exist that could be a model for one that prevents the soviet-doctor-hell scenario.

They just had to crawl out from under their rock when they got some bad press about their dodgy drugs.

Dodgy number 1.
Weight-loss drugs affect the brain in ways that help researchers understand how the body regulates weigh. No mention of how the drugs effect the brain. COULD be dangerous!

Dodgy number 2.
The success of the powerful new class of diabetes and weight-loss drugs shows how important chemistry is to determining a person’s weight.

We were told all this when SSRI's flooded the market with some total bullshit about chemical Imbalance. There is no such thing.

CHEMICAL IMBALANCE THEORY IS A MYTH !!!!!!!!!!!!
The “Theory That Never Was” has taken hold in the minds of so many.

I am retired psychotherapist and I can assure you all that chemical imbalance is a myth created by big pharma to sell SSRI's back in the late 1980's. Chemical imbalance does not cause depression or any psychiatric illness.

Totally misleading the general public, pharmaceutical companies heavily promoted the “chemical imbalance” hypothesis in their direct-to-consumer advertising, ie, GP's and psychiatric staff etc.

dodgy number 3.
“This is not about willpower or personal choice,” said Dr. Florencia Halperin, an endocrinologist and chief medical officer of Form, a virtual medical weight-loss clinic. “This is about your brain driving behaviors.” Totally to "form" Dr Halperin has a dog in the race.

>> The Palace of Fine Arts is a theater, not an exhibit hall. It's a completely unsuitable location for a conference.

This is not the case -- The Palace of Fine Arts is an excellent conference location - expansive and with mezz levels for private presentations, etc. I've done several conferences there and also presented.

It has beautiful outdoor garden spaces for relaxed 1:1s and doesnt feel at all like SF as most people imagine.
I think serverless and managed language runtimes are the ideally deployment cases for unikernels.

What might hinder unikernels, is that chiseled containers is already halfway there.
Some of us vastly prefer being indoors to out. In most places on Earth, I find being outdoors to be intolerable at any time of day/season.

Part of it is my general disdain for humidity, bright light, and temperature excursions. I hate being too cold or too hot, and the sun is almost always far too bright for me. I can’t imagine wanting to go outdoors or preferring it to being indoors, with the single exception of the mojave desert at night in the summer.

I wish I could live deep underground, or in space.

As I understand you have a bunch of cables and you know the start and end... Then .. you know where it's going to :)

This trackers for electricity in the walls track magnetic fields caused by the current in cables. They mostly differ between Metal/electric/nothing and have three signals. If it possible to disconnect all of the cables in the bunch of current and just connect to supply current on the one cable in question, then it would be possible to track it. Other cables would be recognized as metal and showing a different signal.. may be like this?

Maybe what is happening in this thread should give everyone cause for
concern and a clear heads-up that more serious problems are afoot.

Very emotional reactions here, whether fuming at the unreliability of
the service, or zealously defending and identifying with it, indicate
people have far too much invested in this single point of service.

People are saying - "That's me done for the day, have a good weekend!"
What is the economic cost of this? On a global scale? The pattern is
the same as we've seen recently with Office365 and other cloud
services.

People talk about setting up elaborate monitoring services, yet with a
similar effort one could set up one's own development repositories and
tools.

It's not like this crowd is typically "helpless", or unaware of what
is being done, yet people remain beholden; Github has diversified into
a social network and AI tool, far beyond its initial remit as a code
repository. People seem genuinely terrified at the prospect of it
going. And rightfully so.

In the wake of the xz backdoor attempt Microsoft will soon move to
offer "developer protection" and a system of validation, testament and
supply-chain protections. At that point Microsoft will have all of you
absolutely in the palm of its hand and at its mercy.

Now would be a good time to seriously invest in long term thinking and
strategic protection of your development future, indeed of your
fundamental ability and rights to develop software free from
disruption, pressure and encumbrance.
> Archived Table
> To prevent deleting data by mistake, we invent soft-delete pattern by having a is_deleted column. However, this brings extra complexities around foreign key, unique index enforcement. Ideally, PostgreSQL could allow users to configure an archived table. The removed data is moved to the archived table first and purged after a configured retention period. This simplifies application logic and data compliance work.

Partitioned tables works pretty well for this.

>Why would people in general shift their preference towards isolationism?

Because it's convinient. It's always because it's convinient. We've had so many issues in society happen because the alternative is more convinient.

And yes, isolation is convinient. No worries about interpersonal insecurities, no worries about troublesome encounters, entertainment can be tailored to your tastes instead of as a compromise of the group, and minimum social pressure to do what you are not comfortable with.

I can ask the contrary, why wouldn't people shift towards isolationism if they otherwise had their own automomy and comfortable living.
Does that change the fact that it clearly answers your question with data from less than a year ago? Or was that a really stupid rhetorical question you didn't actually want answered?
You have to mental gymnastics your way to happiness, rather than using your intrinsic desires.

You also probably need to take a philosophical "Leap of Faith" at some point to justify your work. The obvious one is Solipsism, you basically must assume that other people have consciousness. Hope you aren't just a brain in the vat, and this worldly experience was all for you.
It's just marketing to make players feel better about themselves.

If at least it had been accepted to forbid it after a non-full HEADERS frame it would have been more robust but it was perceived that the encoding job itself could have been harder (byte boundaries in compressors etc).

BTW I find it funny how we "rediscover" the same stuff every 10 years. Recently it was the well-known RESET_STREAM flood, now the CONTINUATION, soon it will probably be DATA frames of length zero, then single-byte WINDOW_UPDATES, then INITIAL_WINDOW SETTINGS that cost a lot of CPU, etc. The world is just circling in this security circus, provided it's possible to assign a name and possibly a logo to a known problem...

Mmmmmmmmm idk. I’m with you on some liability for the conviction of innocent people, but that liability should also extend to juries.

As far as being penalised for not predicting the future actions of an individual person, not so much. That would effectively mean that every person would be sentenced and required to serve the maximum penalty for any violation, even though those maximums were intended to be doled out to only the most egregious offenders.

Perhaps much more granular and specific sentencing guidelines with objective qualifiers so that sentencing was more predictable?

The article specifically talks about metrics part of Otel. Having read a bit of the script, I agree, it is very bloated. Statsd is a very mature and lean protocol, even with the Datadog extensions to add tagging. It is a defacto open standard that predates Otel. It may well be that people who want to stick to a lean open standard will stick with using statsd or its extended versions for collecting metrics.

The Tracing component is fine. It looks a little bloated, but it also supports distributed tracing, and has also defines schemas and semantics for trace attributes. I can look that up instead of figuring that stuff out on my own.

As far as rumors about Datadog bloating it up to make it fail … their official Nodejs sdk library pulls in Otel tracing under the hood, and the library interface was reimplemented to incorporate that. The agent you install will accept otel traces. It seems to me that this is a path towards allowing people to transition to using otel.

Datadog’s strategy, at least to an outside observer to me, builds a moat that relies on synergies and products that are more useful when you can ingest from more sources. The kind of features they have been adding in the past two years (since the 1.0 release of Otel) includes appsec scanning, infrastructure anomaly scanning, security anomaly scanning, sql database analysis (what pganalyze does for just Postgres), streaming data pipeline (such as kafks) tracing and analysis, CI/CD integration, cloud cost monitoring and analysis. Those all cost money.

The lockin happens when you sign an annual contract because the on demand costs are a noticable percentage of your cloud costs. Looking at their whole platform and their business model, Otel looks to me the way they can reduce switching costs and lock you in with their other products after you switch.
The J-curve charts I've seen indicated lowest all-cause mortality at 3 drinks / week for men and 2 drinks / week for women. So even if you believe there's something healthy to alcohol (and it's not just the unhealthy people -> have to drink 0), it probably won't be any healthier going past 3 or 2 / week. Portion size is 12oz 5% beer, 5 oz 12% wine, 1.5oz 40% liquor.

NUCA – An AI camera that renders people naked
I tried Codeium out last week and couldn't get on with it at all. I was using their Sublime Text integration which I have to say is barely integrated - it was slower to suggest code than CoPilot, the suggestions weren't as useful, the way it just put the suggestion directly into the buffer you're typing in was extremely distracting. I turned it off after about 5 minutes. I suspect the Sublime integration has had the bare minimum of work needed to be able to check the "works in Sublime" box on the marketing site, and there's no way I'm going to use VS Code or a fork of it instead of the editor I live and work in.

In Italy, a surprising 70% of people and businesses still rely on traditional postal services to send legally certified documents, despite the availability of Certified Electronic Mail (PEC). This inefficiency costs time and money.

As a software engineer, I decided to tackle this problem by building RicercaPEC.com - the first technology platform in Italy for easily searching the PEC addresses of companies and professionals.

With a simple and intuitive interface, RicercaPEC enables users to quickly find the PEC contacts they need. It offers advanced features like bulk search, search history, and data export. My goal was to create a service that makes online PEC more accessible and user-friendly for the average Italian, encouraging adoption of this innovative system.

Developing RicercaPEC posed some interesting technical hurdles. Optimizing the search performance for a vast PEC address database required fine-tuning indexing and querying algorithms. Making the UI intuitive for non-technical users took multiple iterations based on user feedback. I overcame these challenges by leveraging smart caching, asynchronous processing, and continuously simplifying the user interface based on real-world testing.

In the 3 months since launching, user response has been resoundingly positive. Small businesses and professionals have particularly benefited from the time savings and ease of use RicercaPEC brings to certified electronic communication. User feedback validates that the platform is making online PEC more accessible and efficient for all.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done to transition Italy away from old fashioned paper mail for legal communications. I believe services like RicercaPEC can play an important role in modernizing and digitizing this process. I'd love to hear the HN community's thoughts and feedback on this problem space and my approach to addressing it.

What has been your experience with certified electronic communications, in Italy or other countries? What do you see as the key obstacles and potential solutions? Let's discuss!

> and yet, they are much less visible than Japan's.

I feel that's by design. China's been more hostile to the West than Japan over the past decades than Japan/South korea. In some ways, the red scare never truly ended.

It is indeed PR, as you said. I'm sure it's even worse in China, but China wants to look like having a pristine image (due to the above situation). Japan is definitely closer to the western mentality where they would turn such a story into an episode of Hoarders or something of that vein if they could. There are indeed a dozen decently known anime based around the Hikkimori lifestyle.

I like to reinvent user feedback with AI
I'm the guy who instantly closes feedback forms on websites.

I did a bit of digging and found a statistic: 80% of pop-in feedback forms fail to engage users, highlighting a significant lack of innovation in this area, so why don't we use AI?

What if we flipped the script? Instead of one-way feedback, what if we made it a two-way exchange using AI to give something back in return? We could use what we already know from the fact that the user is on your site.
For instance, if you're on a fishing gear site, it’s safe to assume you’re into fishing.

Imagine getting a fun fact about the world's rarest fish or the history of fishing lures in exchange for answering a quick question. That's not just asking; it's giving back and creating a moment of delight.

As a developer, this sparked an idea: a tool that trades fun facts for your thoughts. The goal is to boost engagement by making this exchange of fun facts for feedback.
