In my experience, there is a difference between something like a loud harley and a loud sportsbike. With a harley, I can't easily tell which direction the sound is coming from, but with a sportsbike I can.

Frankly, I don't understand how it is that there are so many obnoxiously loud bikes on the road. I've always assumed that it has nothing to do with safety and is more a reflection of the (deliberately) inconsiderate nature of some people.
I don't think you pay for fast. You may need fast so you settle for worse, cheaper food. But you sacrifice a better, slower dining experience. I'd consider that its own qualitative tradeoff separate from pricing.

But even if my framing is wrong, the fact remains that fast food has traditionally been cheaper than better (restaurant) food and only recently has that discount started to go away.

Honestly, what I'm looking for is a tool that generates the docs and diagrams for a database from the database schema itself and lays it out cleanly. So far I've found tools that will try to generate a diagram naively even if there are a hundred tables, and I've found tools that make you recreate your structure twice: once in DDL and the second time in docs/diagramming.

I want Javadoc with scoped diagrams for relational databases.
Maybe you're not aware, but The Guardian's job description is obtaining and handling sensitive information. They are experts, ostensibly anyway. Their threat model is rightfully ridiculous and ridiculous threat models require ridiculous security measures such as air gapping which Qubes cannot satisfy. Reasonable is not enough given what they do.

EDIT: Maybe these guys aren't experts and don't deserve to receive and handle sensitive information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39954815
The laws aren't against porn consumption or even anonymous porn consumption. They're about distributing porn to children, which most people are in alignment that we don't want to allow.

These age verification laws all mandate that no identifying information be kept. The Texas law has a $10,000 penalty per instance for record retention. It's still perhaps not the best way to do it, but people are being very disingenuous in their characterization of these laws. It's not that much different from requiring people to show ID at the door of an adult store.
A former colleague of mine, of Polish extraction with a double-barreled surname, also has something like four middle names. His bank in Hong Kong was apparently insistent that all of his middle initials were present on his credit card, but that's too long to fit, so they also reduced his surnames to initials as well. This results in a card printed with something like "A M J W V C-B".

Definitely. I certainly did not mean to conflate tax avoidance and asset protection, even though in some cases they go hand in hand. I apologise if I was confusing in my explanation.
There is a middle ground between keeping users (in this case Engineering) happy and an environment secure.

Ideally, Security Ownership should be taken up by the Application/Dev team with an open understanding that heads roll if you messed up ("ownership"), and a security team and platform team exists to help consult and implement security and deployment.

I guess they call philosophy "DevSecOps" or "Shift-Left" in the Gartner world.

That said, a lot of "security" practices are pure BS and security theatre.

Honestly, that's what it boils down to.
In a AAA game, written in the past 15 years or so the CPU is used to handle I/O (controllers, network, "HDD" etc) and, sometimes, sound (the more modern GPUs have low latency cores to work with sound but a plain old PS4/Xbone has too much latency on the GPU to work with sound). On PC the CPU is affecting game performance because there are many layers of data transformation between the userland game and the data that GPU reads and all these are processed on the CPU, but on a console the game writes the native GPU command buffers and surfaces so there is no intermediate processing so CPU is pretty much irrelevant as long as it's fast enough to write couple megs of command buffers per frame and not skip interrupts from the I/O devices.
From the article:

The reason workaholics are susceptible to burnout is the fact that they put their work and career achievements over and above everything else, and they’re usually very good at it too, which just fuels this vicious cycle.

.

People with this tendency usually have a value system that constantly reminds them that their self-worth comes from their work performance and achievements.

CMake - as autotools - is a meta build system; it e.g. generates make files, which are essentially scripts. Also CMake itself is essentially a VM with a scripting language. Both CMake and Make are Turing complete (and dynamically typed, as mentioned). And yes, not all build systems are the same; e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/BUSY has a statically typed specification language and intentionally avoids a Turing complete language.

Highlighted quote:

"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
If you want to really do it right, so it works for everyone, this is the only way.

However, when I actually did it this way, it caused problems as soon as we partnered with another company and had to communicate with a system designed in a less-progressive manner. (I.e., about 99.5% of existing systems.) We couldn’t generate an export for that partner without first and last name fields, and we had no way to reliably generate those from the full name field.

So, ironically, if we had let the user decide how to compromise the integrity of their name up front, we would have had a better user experience than after our computer started butchering it for them.

I guess we just can’t have nice things.
I think this is fine, BUT...

I think they should have to give people time to fix the problem before dropping them.

A neighbor literally just got a letter in the mail, "We think your trees are over your roof. Policy cancelled immediately." (The tree was over his daughter's playhouse in the back yard, the algorithm saw shingles obstructed by a tree branch and flagged it. They don't even bother with human review.)

There should be a warning period, "Hey we saw this, and if you don't fix it in 90 days we'll have to drop you." They certainly take money before doing an inspection... they're happy to have you start paying them right away as soon as you move in. Anyway there should be a time period for cut off of service.

Insurance companies are free to do inspections, but there's still the stress that getting a notice like that does to someone.

These days, who even reads letters from insurance companies in the mail?! I mean, I just chuck anything with a logo in the recycling.

And, from what I can tell, the insurance company dropped my neighbor when they sent the letter... so he didn't even know he wasn't insured until he got the letter.

Anyway... these companies aren't your friends. They're all out to screw you.

USAA screwed me over bad recently, to the tune of nearly $300k... they forced me to use their contractor (or we won't cover your temp housing), said not to worry and promised me a "5 year workmanship warranty" on the work done by their contractor... but when the contractor was utter shit, they put me through their mediation, where their mediator said, "Yeah all this work done by the contractor is junk, it all has to be re-done... if they don't fix it, we'll eat their lunch!" but ultimately they didn't enforcing any of that with the contractor and let the contractor off without any consequences -- even insisted I pay the contractor. "Oh you had no right to expect the work would be professionally done..." the contractor said in court. It was all total BS. And they said, "USAA may promise you one thing, but contract we have means we aren't liable for any damages to your house, 35-foot trees we killed, foundations we cracked, garage doors we backed into, things our endless stream of disorganized day-laborers stole, etc..." USAA's mediation process was really just a play to run out the statue of limitations on the contract too, I felt. =P

Live and learn... but insurance companies are heartless bastards. You can't trust them, and even the "good" ones will screw you if they can. Tell you one thing, and do another...

If you have a flood, call your lawyer first, the insurance company second, and the water mitigation folks third. Get it all in writing, take more photos than you ever thought necessary, and hope you have an adjuster who isn't having a crappy day that day.

Learning is unique as the whole point is to do the thinking yourself.
> In an open-access study published recently in Nature Communications, Rice physicist Ming Yi and more than three dozen co-authors from a dozen institutions similarly showed they could use heat to toggle a crystal of iron, germanium and tellurium between two electronic phases. In each of these, the restricted movement of electrons produces topologically protected quantum states. Ultimately, storing qubits in topologically protected states could potentially reduce decoherence-related errors that have plagued quantum computing. [...]

> "That's the key finding," she said of the material's switchable vacancy order. "The idea of using vacancy order to control topology is the important thing. That just hasn't really been explored. People have generally only been looking at materials from a fully stoichiometric perspective, meaning everything's occupied with a fixed set of symmetries that lead to one kind of electronic topology. Changes in vacancy order change the lattice symmetry. This work shows how that can change the electronic topology. And it seems likely that vacancy order could be used to induce topological changes in other materials as well."

"Reversible non-volatile electronic switching in a near-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet" (2024)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46862-z :

> Abstract: [...] Here, we report the observation of reversible and non-volatile switching between two stable and closely related crystal structures, with remarkably distinct electronic structures, in the near-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet Fe_{5−δ}GeTe_2. We show that the switching is enabled by the ordering and disordering of Fe site vacancies that results in distinct crystalline symmetries of the two phases, which can be controlled by a thermal annealing and quenching method. The two phases are distinguished by the presence of topological nodal lines due to the preserved global inversion symmetry in the site-disordered phase, flat bands resulting from quantum destructive interference on a bipartite lattice, and broken inversion symmetry in the site-ordered phase.

Generally I think school is meant to give you the basic foundation and as you progress in life you develop specializations and dive deeper into things you care about. Maybe you don't use everything you learned in school and that's fine, but for the next person it may have exposed them to a subject they found enlightening.

Personally, I do think learning a language is best achieved through immersion rather than brief 45-60min classes. It's not ideal but it still works to a degree.

This is what they enforced during basic training. We had like 5min to shove 1000 calories into our mouth, and if someone in front of you got up before you were done, you had about 20 seconds to finish and get up before being yelled at to leave.

In Elementary school, my friends and I would come up with things to do at recess, talk about our weekends, and plan sleep overs. This is bonding time that is gotten no where else. (Assuming the kids are not dropped off an hour before school starts, or picked up after the parents get done working at 5pm)

Extend the day by 10 minutes and give the kids that extra time.

ReplyReach – AI to find and analyze social media posts related to your product
I've been juggling a few SaaS projects and realized how much time I spend hunting for social media posts where I can drop helpful comments without coming off as spammy. So, I built this tool called ReplyReach.

It's got GPT-4 under the hood to analyze user intent, determining if they might benefit from your input and if it's relevant to your product. This eliminates the need for manual checking of each post.

Currently, ReplyReach supports Quora and Reddit. I'm also working on Twitter integration, but it's proving to be a bit challenging due to the requirement of user login. I expect it to take a week or two to resolve this issue. In the meantime, I've set up some tokens so that you can test out most of the features.

I'm eager to hear your thoughts and feedback on ReplyReach! Let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for improvement.

We don't have the resources for everyone to live like current billionaires live (private jets, yachts, multiple homes etc). It would destroy the ecosystem. So we can't raise everyone to that level (with current technology and resources). So the only way we can improve the lots of the poor is by reducing the ludicrous over consumption of billionaires. I realize that is unlikely to be a popular position on HN, where many people consider themselves future billionaires!
My $15/mo plan in the US can pull hundreds of megabits at 20ms latency to most sites tethered. Tethering is baked into most phone plans and from my experiences not throttled any more than the regular phone data. Most plans have it, even the cheap prepaid options.
When people elsewhere talk about Somalia, they usually include Somaliland in that definition, international recognition of the latter being what it is.

It's all very silly IMO given that Somaliland has been de facto independent for over 30 years now, and is the most functional part of the former Somali Republic.

Last time I was shopping for home insurance, an agent told me I was too close to a canyon, which I thought was strange because there are no canyons near me. They sent me a screenshot of the fire danger map where clearly it had the wrong location / coordinates for my address (they thought I was about a mile from where I really live).

I pointed them to my address on Google Maps which has my correct location, but they said their system isn't wrong and the address coordinate mapping can't be changed anyway. Go away.

Then another insurance company told me the same thing. I thought maybe I was going to be uninsurable completely based off of a computer error.

Luckily, Lemonade has smarter systems and got my location right, so I was able to get insured with them. But I'm not sure what I would do without lemonade.
If you think that's wild, consider that the standard practice in Japan is to buy land and build new...even if that means tearing down the building that is currently built there. As a result, buildings are built more according to the rules of fashion, and building to last longer than the current occupant would seem like a foolhardy waste of money.

I’m not sure this is true in 2024 at all. The presumption today is you’re being tracked, and people simply don’t care.

But let’s presume this isn’t true. I think the response should be to expect more from society. Every additional bit of nanny state coddling reduces individual responsibility.

Apologies for such a basic question. I have node installed on my machine, but clearly no idea how a JS library is included anymore (among other things...). I created an HTML file, included a div ``a div with id "my-div-id"`` as instructed, and even added type="module" in the script tag, but I get in Chrome ``Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "facesjs". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".``

Any pointers on all the steps to running this? Should I expect node to create a js file that could be served together with the HTML file? Or would my hosting server need to have node, and run it every time there is a request? Thanks in advance, I'm sorry for the confusion.
