Keep in mind that the pareto front is not a two-dimensional line, but a surface in a some high dimensional vector space. In every game there are many, many aspects to min/max. As others pointed out even Mario Kart doesn't boil down to speed and acceleration.

In a sufficiently complex game every build is on the pareto front as it optimizes some specific cost function.
Hi, I'm interested in your product roles, but your website is listing NYC only - is it possible to work from any other location or remote?
I knew the author was going to go point to SVN.

If you're working on any kind of team doing work in parallel.. Just dont bother with SVN.

Got can get into strange states sometimes but I've never not been able to fix it. I don't personally find the same difficulties as the author though.
> Prior to AI, an algorithm that could identify objects in a picture seemed impossible.

... I mean, kind of by definition, surely, in that CV as a whole has always been broadly categorised as AI. Computer vision's been around since the 60s, though outside of narrowly-defined problem spaces like OCR didn't really become useful til the 90s.

The current AI bubble is largely based around generative AI, not CV (CV was the _previous_ AI bubble; remember self-driving cars?)
We also went from - click around in the gui -> automate everything -> click around in the gui. Zero regrets.

We went even further than that and ditched kubernetes, and containers altogether and moved everything to just EC2/elastic beanstalk.

Took us 2 months to write everything in terraform initially. Took 2 days to shift everything back and maintenance is just so much easier for us. Much easier to find people that can manage infra this way too.

To this day I struggle to find a tangible benefit to the old stack. Everything is just “better” now and half the cost.

YMMV of course.

DbC is awesome because it formalizes what conditions must exist before and after a piece of code runs and defines who (caller vs. callee) is responsible for what parts.
This is all very bad for our society. But maybe I do agree with you that more people of modest wealth should take advantage of it. This would make the problem more visible, and thus more likely to be fixed.
Let's be fair here. "I died" is two stars. One star is "I died and my family isn't paid damages and the business owner gets away scot-free".
grey code is heavy on combinational logic to implement, its goal is not to reduce logic but force counting behaviour in such a way that only 1 bit is changing between transitions, as opposed in normal binary (i.e. 4b0111+1 would cause 4 bit changes). this is useful when crossing clock domains or to add extra builtin error detection capabilities
Really cool analysis and visualizations! Although there’s an interesting wrinkle with Mario Kart 8 + 200cc - most players don’t want speed over a certain level because you’re too fast to control. So rather than trying to maximize absolute speed stat you may want to minimize the delta from your optimal speed stat

Most of the gripes he has against IAC have nothing to do with the fact that your configuration is in a YAML file versus a GUI. They have to do with the problems of the systems that configuration is touching. Moving to a GUI would not help dependency hell, for example.

It's not as farfetched as you seem to believe.

I've been reading a translation of Water Margin; here's a bit from the story of Wu Song:

Actually, first, here's Wu Song's dictionary entry in the Hanyu Da Cidian:

> 《水浒传》中人物。勇猛刚烈，曾在景阳冈徒手打死猛虎。后参加梁山农民起义军，到处诛除强暴，是人民群众所喜爱的英雄形象之一。

[A character in Water Margin. Brave, fierce, strong, and violent, he once beat a man-eating tiger to death with his bare hands in Jingyang Pass. Afterward he joined the peasant uprising in Liangshan, with brutal killing [and rape?] everywhere, he is one of the heroic figures that the common people love.]

OK, now, the excerpt from Water Margin:

------

[Wu Song has been framed for theft by a conspiracy of three men, beaten, and exiled. He has just returned to the home of the highest-ranking conspirator (General Zhang), beheaded all three of them at the self-congratulatory party they were holding, and left a note claiming responsibility in blood on the wall.]

From all this killing the pavilion was swimming in blood, bodies could be seen lying everywhere in the flickering light of the candles. Wu Song said to himself: "It had to be all or nothing; kill a hundred, you can only die for it once." Sword at the ready, he went downstairs.

"What's all the hullabaloo upstairs?" the General's wife was inquiring as Wu Song rushed in. At this monstrous sight she shrieked: "Who are you?"

But Wu Song's sword was already flying. It caught her square in the forehead and she fell with a shriek right there in front of the pavilion. Wu Song held her down but when he tried to cut off her head the sword wouldn't cut. Baffled, he saw by the light of the moon that the blade was completely blunted. "So that's why I couldn't get her head off," he thought.

He slipped out of the back door to get his halberd again and threw away the blunt sword. Then he turned and went back to the tower. A lamp could be seen approaching. It turned out to be the singing girl, Yulan, the one he'd had the trouble with before. She was accompanied by two children. When the light of her lamp fell on the General's wife where she lay dead on the floor, Yulan screamed: "Merciful Heaven!"

Wu Song raised his halberd and ran her through the heart. He also killed the children, a single thrust to each. He went to the central hall, bolted the main door, and returned. He found two or three more young girls and stabbed them to death too. "Now at last," he said, "my heart is eased. Now it's time to stop."

------

This is the heroic figure that the common people love. The story is not short on villains, but Wu Song is not one of them.

Wu Song befriends a husband and wife who operate a series of inns, where they drug and butcher travelers who make the wrong impression in order to serve their meat to the other guests. They aren't villains either.
It is a statistic, why else do you think iOS is as locked down as it is, and Android is doing the same thing? You are assuming competence where there is none. Do you honestly think the average person knows how to use a smartphone? That they will take time out of their day to know what the things they are pressing are actually doing?
You got my vote. What a great name for AI dregs feeding back into AI training to turn out even more bizarre dregs.

If you actually prefer SVN over Git, then your workplace is definitely using Git very, very wrong.
My guess: it's used as a high quality source of training data (well, mostly anyways) since papers like Textbooks Is All You Need showed that that can be a treasure troth. Offering this as a "public service" may just be a smokescreen for regulators.
My grandfather lived 20 years after he was diagnosed for prostate cancer, eventually the cancer metastasized and took him away but he did live until early he was in his 80s at which point he survived my father. It is possible that having his son die within his lifetime had something to do with his demise and he could’ve lived more in other circumstances.

People think that git is complex. It is.

The task it's accomplishing is insanely complicated.
This looks like my customized GNOME desktop, except of course the theme and two things: I don't show the virtual desktops in the bottom bar (I switch with hotkeys) and I merged the task bar into the bottom one. To be clear, I don't have the top bar.
I have never been at a place with cursed branches and I have no idea how that can possibly happen in git. Sorry but your colleagues were just totally incompetent.
I'm in agreement with this, provided that the same level of scrutiny is applied when assessing the circumstances that led to a misstep in judgment/sentencing.
As someone who's never used those technologies - is that not a client-side concern? What's different about it being "built in" vs adopting something like pgpool or Supavisor when you have those requirements?

I have only had the freezers in the apartments that I rent, and it is an escalating number. The question is not "how cold" does the dial make it, but the amount of cold we are asking the compressor etc. to make.

For example, if you notice on older cars there is a dial for the air conditioning. On that dial there is a gradually increasing line of thickness (in blue in my mother's 2010 Camry). Increasing makes the car colder, or rather it makes the compressor deliver more cold air into the vehicle.

So .. why is this dial on this freezer like that? Because I think at one time in history we viewed air conditioning as a manufactured force. Increasing the number is to increase the intensity of that mechanical force.
I'm guessing you're not a bank?

Banks (and other financial institutions) make loans all the time that are not necessarily backed with collateral. This is reflected in the interest rate that you pay.

For me, it’d be more control over the query planner, ideally down to the level of submitting my own physical query plan.

I was looking at a query yesterday that joined 3 tables and we were unable to convince Postgres to use the optimal plan, which was to scan an index on Table1 that matched its ORDER BY order, and filter by joining against the other tables.

With a CTE for Table1 that had a limit on it, Postgres would pick the optimal plan, but then may underflow the desired limit after filtering. However the query plan is optimal and it will finish in 3ms.

Without the limited CTE, Postgres would run the Table2 and Table3 join in parallel with Table1, and then try to hash join like 3,0000,000 rows to produce the final tuple set. This query plan takes 40 seconds.

It’s just so frustrating knowing the system has the capability to serve a query in fractions of a second but you can’t extract that performance directly. Instead you need to write some truly bizarre code you hope the query planner will like, and then live the rest of your life in fear the query planner changes its mind.
I hate Microsoft products in general but Excel is just good. It is not one feature but the whole package as a system.

It is basically the opposite of most MS products. There is not one feature that stands out as to why I hate Word, it is the summation of all the little things I hate about it that is the issue.
Or conversely they are doing a stealth price increase and shifting the blame to credit card fees. The end result is they shift the cost of banking onto the customer like how some businesses only take cash and have installed an ATM. Then they expect the customer eat an ATM fee. The business avoids chargebacks but the customer has to bear the burden of potential leakage of ACH digits and company errors in debiting the wrong amount.
I'm going to agree - because there's also the complexity of keeping all the state in sync too.

Excellent client, but Windows only.
Eh, if we need to go "retro", I'd choose the Windows 98 or Windows 2000 UI. That was the apex of low-res design, and GNOME/KDE have never even got close. And I say that as a life-long Linux user that started with KDE1 (though soon moved to GNOME and Window Maker).

Just look at how terrible the font rendering or icon design was compared to its Windows contemporary. At the time Microsoft spent a ton of money in usability research, that no free environment could afford.
I mean this kindly - I notice that this is one of many, many questionable Ask HN posts you've made, most of which end up with nearly no engagement. I get the impression from the questions you ask that you're not an engineer, in which case I don't really know that putting WiFi in schools is a good investment of your time. You're going to have a hard time finding schools interested in taking you seriously without some level of credentials.

If you're feeling inclined to help in better equipping kids with tech, donating to Kids Teach Tech or Black Girls Code etc might be a better use of your resources.
Why would you think so?
The PostgreSQL developers didn't stick out by delivering bad software/features so far. If they would implement this I would actually expect a pretty good way with even better documentation.
The goal should be truth. Otherwise the easiest way to make it hard to find someone guilty is to make it only confessions under no duress are admissible.

And the hyper-cautious effect isn’t because of fear of getting it wrong. It’s fear of retaliation whether right or wrong.
People say that, but my experience has been like that over a decade at many different places. Just a month ago my git.exe crashed (!) during a commit. It just doesn't work as a tool at all.

All areas of systems theory [0] whether in the cybernetics [1] of
Norbert Wiener [2] or in complex real systems like those Meadows [3]
and Forrester [4] studied, the divergence from equilibrium that occurs
in positive feedback loops is both well studied, yet strangely hard to
understand.

We don't know quite what is going happen, because selective
amplification of different components will lead to different
effects. It's unpredictable. Sometimes we get oscillation. Sometimes
we get chaos or noisy behaviour. This relates to "chaos theory" [5].

sometimes we get a discontinuity, either an instant collapse or a
"pole" that shoots off to infinity. Sometimes we get all these things
in some strange sequence, although the latter two are usually
unrecoverable.

The biological system I think is closest to what we're doing with AI
is BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) [6] when we fed dead cow
bones back to living farm animals which selected for prions.

Indeed, I'm a double bassist, and belong to a family of string players. I don't want an antiqued instrument. I'll age it myself. Most of the deliberately antiqued instruments I've handled were student models, and I wonder if it makes it easier to hide minor defects in workmanship. In those cases, we didn't outright reject an instrument for being antiqued, since there are only so many things you can be particular about before the supply of acceptable instruments dries up. We were much more concerned with sound. When my kids moved up to professional grade instruments, like you say, no more antiquing.

Why would that only work in "relatively developed nations"? People from less "developed" nations aren't stupid savages, they just have access to fewer resources. Look at this map https://eduroam.org/where/ The countries where eduroam don't exist are mainly just countries that don't have international academic visibility, with universities that are mainly focused on teaching to local students rather than conducting bleeding-edge research. Again, not because they're idiots, but just because with fewer resources you have to prioritize. Setting up 802.1X and RADIUS servers isn't much more expensive than setting up e.g. an email server, and you can bet that they know about email even in those places you consider less "developed".

The fact that you think Germany is anywhere near as deindustrialised as the UK, because of the increasing cost of energy, is a bit funny to me. The UK was brutally deindustrialised.

The UK manufacturing output is 8.69% of GDP. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/GBR/uni...

German manufacturing output is 18% of GDP in 2022. That's over twice the UK. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NV.IND.MANF.ZS?location...

Look at data, stop reading sensationalistic news articles. I doubt that Germany has lost over half its industrial capacity since 2022.
>The Israeli-right doesn't want peace.

That's unsubstantiated, and besides the point. PLO and Hamas have still refused any and all two state options, including a 98% land swap offered with Bill Clinton at the Camp David summit.

The two state solution isn't on the table no matter what anyone other than Palestinian leaders say, so we can ignore that part of your argument. It doesn't serve as constructive criticism of Israel. Maybe of Arafat specifically, if you're intending to criticize.

You input your create table statement and it issues you back the migration statements? Then you can check it against your development database or whatever and if you feel fine use it?

This way you could check and modify the migration path without writing the alter statements.

This is one of the most frustrating thinks with sqlite for me. Changing a table doesn't always work with an alter statement but sometimes you need to drop and recreate it with the new columns. Why can't they do the magic for me. It's really frustrating and was often enough the sole reason I used postgres for private projects.

How far you go down the road of using structures for tax avoidance is up to you.

However it should be noted that the use of on-shore trusts to separate assets from risks and liabilities does not intrinsically have either a tax-saving goal, or a tax-saving effect (depending on your jurisdiction.)

Personally I make use of asset-protection structures, but in an on-shore context. I live here, I enjoy benefits here, and I'm happy to pay my share of taxes here.

My point is that offshore trust structures, and onshore trust structures (among other options) have very different use cases, tax implications, and costs. Use of one does not imply use of the other.
I would rather make companies that violate people's privacy pay as they're the only entities making profits here.
