Apparently this is no longer much of an issue. Quoting [0]:

"The federal ban was lifted in 1966, though many states maintained their own bans. Research showed that blackcurrants could be safely grown some distance from white pines and this, together with the development of rust-immune varieties and new fungicides, led to most states lifting their bans by 2003. Blackcurrants are now grown commercially in the Northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. Because of the long period of restrictions, blackcurrants are not popular in the United States, and one researcher has estimated that only 0.1% of Americans have eaten one. [...] By 2003 restrictions on Ribes cultivation had been lifted across most of the states, though some bans remain, particularly on the blackcurrant. State laws are enforced with varying degrees of efficiency and enthusiasm; in some states, officials effectively ignore the ban."

My point is that the electorate that passed our ridiculous amendment process is no longer the current electorate. I suspect that our generation would be extremely open to changing the scope of our constitution to not include trivial things like tax legislation.

> This looks great! Thank you for putting it up on GitHub and sharing

Thank you!

> Have you tried it with log files? It would be great to have this kind of search when hunting things down on multiple large log files in a server

That is an interesting suggestion, and I can see the myself wanting to use Docfd search engine even for line oriented input.

Just to make sure I didn't misunderstand, log files in your context mean things that have one entry per line, and no point in searching across lines, correct?
I've almost completely switched from GPT-4 to Claude 3 Haiku/Sonnet
In this post we compared Claude 3 and GPT-4 on long context extraction. Haiku and Sonnet are both more accurate and cheaper than GPT-4. Haiku is also 10x cheaper than Sonnet while being only slightly less accurate. Incredible!
My attention is great. Adverts on the other hand I don't have time in the day to waste watch adverts. It's why I don't watch TV, nor YouTube apart from the odd occasional video.

Driving home I am nuked with adverts in my face. Listening to music on the radio with adverts thrown in to my ears.
Whoah. That's an excellent video, and it shows how this was far more complicated than the simplified diagram in Wikipedia: the device was over 300 meters long!

As I predicted before, bringing the case before the ICJ did not stop the genocide, in fact, since the ruling was issued things have gotten significantly worse, and Israel has doubled down on their genocidal conduct. The defunding of UNWRA for example I did not see coming, but yet it happened, making quite a few nations directly complicit in genocide after the interim ruling of the ICJ.

I think we have to face the fact here that the Houthis have the moral high ground on this issue. As far as national rulers go, they are one of very few at least attempting to stop the genocide. This is not dignifying the Houthis, but rather it is a condemnation of the rest of the world.

Yes, South Africa’s case for the ICJ was strong, and did bring them into the moral high ground here. But like stated, it was not enough. More is needed, and so far western governments seem to be fine with the genocide unfolding, worsening, etc. That is disgusting.

I don't quite buy this, having grown up with source engine games.

CSGO/CS2 (and to some extent TF2 before it) makes it fully possible to host your own, dedicated server, due to its heritage from the 90s-era HL1 mod. At the same time, there is complex matchmaking and ranking support, existing completely in parallel.

I don't think anyone expects to have the entire matchmaking and competitive ranking infrastructure available to host. Bare essentials for hosting a server + ability of players to join should not be terribly hard to provide, especially if companies know before hand that this will be required, and can thus design server infrastructure accordingly.

As for this being done via legislation / court precedence, I see no other option. I don't see how these basic tools are technically hard to achieve for the vast majority of games, and I don't see any world where companies themselves would consider providing this.

Debezium supports all kinds of data formats. For instance, ProtoBuf is often used these days, but it's easily customizable/configurable to have other formats, too.

> "At least a few months"

Can you back this up? This doesn't match my experience from working with users in the Debezium community at all. Don't get me wrong, Debezium certainly has a learning curve, but that's nearwhere realistic.

I think you're doing interesting stuff at PeerDB, but it would be nice if you could do without this kind of unfounded anti-Debezium FUD.
Life is beautiful, but that beauty is diminished by suffering. If not, we should all strive to have as many children as possible while keeping them barely alive. I believe most people would view this as abhorrent.

With that mindset, infinite growth is similarly (if not more) disdainful of human life. It should be obvious that population cannot grow unbounded; at some point growth will lead to austerity. You highlight sustainable growth, implicitly assuming the Earth can continue supporting more people. Understand that many do not hold this view.

Indeed, isolates are similar to mod_php in that a small pool of shared processes can handle thousands of different applications simultaneously. PHP is truly great in that way!

But just to clarify, mod_php isn't thread safe so parallel requests do not share memory, they each have their own process (prefork mpm). And for untrusted tenants you also need to combine with mod_setuid or mod_suexec for proper isolation, as PHP doesn't do any isolation of its own (they tried for a while but gave up, remember open_basedir?).

In other words a server with 16GB of RAM could handle maybe 250-350 simultaneous PHP requests using mod_php, whereas I'm sure they can fit thousands of isolates in that footprint.
I was heavily downvoted for supplying a link to a previous discussion on the same topic recently. I wouldn’t worry much about it.

Show HN: Automating Film Scheduling
Hi HN, my name is Sammy. I am new to the community. We're building Shamel (https://www.shamelstudio.com) a solution focused on automating the tedious parts of film scheduling. For script breakdowns we utilize a mix of text parsing algorithms & an LLM to achieve this. We are built by filmmakers for filmmakers (mainly producers & assistant directors).
Demo video: https://youtu.be/aEYQ71_9THI

My co-founder, Feras, has been a producer for nearly a decade and he's been frustrated by the tedious and mundane nature of creating a schedule, which can take up to 2 weeks. This was the inspiration for Shamel.

It has been almost a year long journey for us so far, where the most difficult part for me was having to learn web developing from scratch as a data scientist.

We just launched our beta and I understand most of you are not filmmakers, but I would love any feedback you may have. Also, if you know anyone who might find it useful, we would appreciate it if you can share it with them.

We've tried to make the sign-up process as simple as possible offering an integration with your Google account in addition to simple email sign-up. We also don't require users to put in their credit card if they just want to try it for a week.

Thank You!

Sammy
Interesting question. From my background in FOSS and open standards, one of the most common ways for possible changes to be made is the 'Request For Comments' (RFC).

1., therefore, is yes: many of the FOSS projects in involved in do write requirements specifications as part of an RFC process.

2., yes, I enjoy it. Not everyone does, but describing a proposal in great detail can clarify your own imagination of what it could be like, and can preempt inevitable questions. This saves everyone's time.

3., generally only long-term contributors, the 'shakers and movers' of a project. External or one-off contributors tend to suggest changes on issue trackers or chatrooms instead; this is partly because some don't want to make any commitment to shepherd the RFC through, but also because they don't necessarily have the background knowledge to know which questions to pre-emptively answer.

4., variable depending on the project. Small changes, that is, ones that don't affect much outside of their immediate context, don't usually have RFCs. It would be a waste of time for typo fixes, for instance.

5., I think this is very important: there should be a time limit on RFCs. The worst thing is when you have proposals that linger on for months or years and nobody quite knows how to move forward. Therefore, the leadership committee or whatever the responsible persons are called should give a clear yes-or-no answer after a fixed duration of public discussion.

7., absolutely, templates are expected.

8., "what other potential solutions have you considered?" is a classic question that every RFC submitter should answer.

9... well, nothing more really except good on you for taking technical change management seriously (a hard challenge, second only to cultural change management) and good luck :)

I'd rather they had just done entropy coding. It's good at using a smaller number of bits per character to represent a subset of characters, which is what they're trying to do. But it's more general, so you wouldn't be limited to only those characters.

Huffman is probably simple enough. The typical approach is adaptive Huffman, which doesn't compress the initial data very well since it needs to adjust to actual character frequencies. So that wouldn't work well for QR codes since they're short.

But you can start adaptive Huffman with a pre-agreed initial tree (as static Huffman does), which would give good compression from the start. There could be several standard pre-agreed Huffman trees, and instead of using bits in the QR code to select a character set, those bits could select one of a few pre-agreed initial Huffman trees.

Surely the generics approach would go via an aeson Value as an intermediate format, and thus possibly store an unbounded Scientific.
Thank you! Unfortunately the quickest way to test it on Windows right now is WSL, which is also how I use it on Windows.

I have not spent much time into figuring out how to make Windows builds via GitHub CI, and have not spent time investigating how the PDF viewer, Word invocation code etc behave in Windows.
Agreed. And honestly, even if PETA got out of the shelter business, anti-PETA folks will just find some other marginal edge cases dismiss them entirely. [0]

I'm glad they are sticking to their principles and doing the right thing. Listing to popular opinion never works since people will always hunt for reasons to criticize. If popular opinion had its way with the animal rights movement, there would be no animal rights movement.

The book is mis-named. Their system was not 3 bodies, but 4 (3 stars, plus a planet). And the system is so chaotic that even that little planet will make a huge difference over time. And even beyond that, the bodies themselves were transformed, having the ability to tear atmosphere away from each other.

i don't think you can say it's a kneejerk reaction. Brewster Khale's reply doesn't really address the concerns in the original post - if anything, it seems to validate those concerns. specifically:

"The Archive is an ongoing evolution towards "What is a Library in the 21st Century going to be?""

seems to confirm that the internet archive's primary goal is not the continued preservation of the archive.
Thx. Timeline shows attack begun by adding ignore entry in .gitignore file. That is hard to detect nowadays.
I refuse to use those (although I will probably need to use it, eventually), because they do this annoying "BING!" when I pass whatever item they are trying to push.
I think it's a common need.

I'll add that I think in this case, an important part of the use-case is a credible commitment to anonymizing the answers.
I will add ripgrep-all is great for that purpose (and you can also search inside archives with it if I recall correctly).
