> In fact, I can't imagine why this project needs a PM at all. The database is used by engineers and is built by engineers. Engineers should be their own PMs.

What about when two different projects have two different requirements they need supported by the database. Which one is implemented first? What about if there is only engineering capacity to implement one?

I don’t think a database is the place for “just send a PR for adding your required feature and ping the team that owns it” kind of development. It requires research, planning, architecture review, testing, etc. It’s not a hobby project, it’s a critical tool for the business.
TSA doesn't really give a crap about the name. I always put my preferred name on airline tickets, and nobody ever complains.
You realise you're posting under a scientific study conducted by Association for the Development of Motorcycling, the Polytechnic University of Bucharest and a noise emission specialist from Netherlands In the study somebody actually tried to measure this. You need a stronger rebuttal than "this is total garbage lol". You can make your own scientific study if you believe this results are for some reason incorrect, or at least try to point out where the study made a mistake.
All physical systems have time delay, but software doesn’t necessarily. I bumped into PID controllers writing software for video games where I had the option to not have a time delay in the system, if I wanted to do something less physically realistic. In a game, you can (and I often did) use a proportional-only controller for certain things. Then I got surprised when that didn’t work, after a time delay was introduced. I mainly called out the time delay because the delay is what causes the problem that needs solving, so it seems reasonable and important to state. But I wouldn’t argue with anyone who said the delay part seems obvious. ;)
I attended a college with a spartan mindset. No research. The entire sports budget was less than one FTE. They were laser focused on instruction and recruiting elite students whom them could offer actually generous “financial aid” terms.
The Scythians raised a cup in toast to their King Attila, and Maximinus proposed that the toast should also be to our lord Theodosius. At this, Bigilas spoke out, saying that it was not right that a god and a man should be compared in such a way.
File systems are databases. Different file systems choose different trade offs, different indexing strategies, etc.

Git is also a database. I got into this argument with someone when I proposed using Github as a database to store configuration entries. Our requirements included needing the ability to review changes before they went live, and the ability to easily undo changes to the config. If your requirements for a DB include those two things, Github is a damn good database platform! (Azure even has built in support for storing configurations in Github!)
lol. You missed the crypto nonsense, endless js shitworks I mean frameworks, fictional I mean functional programming, and so on.
This aerial stuff now enhanced by AI is a privacy rights nightmare - in Australia, local councils are utilizing high res images shot by plane, which are AI analysed for infractions - ie.
Illegal outbuildings, cut trees, earth works greater than a metre in depth, solar panels placed without auth etc. This kind of tech is going to be abused by both the private and public sector to no end. The images have a resolution to the point where veins on a tree leaf are perceptible.

We are literally going to be monitored from the sky by AI for a lot of things, and from a legal standpoint at this stage there is nothing to stop anyone from doing it.
Depends on the context.

1. A significant 're-architecting' of parts of our backend to metaphorically sell cars off the back of a truck... It was one of the few parts of an auto lease financier's chain that didn't have a called-out contract with one of the major players. I suppose this one wasn't entirely useless as we were able to reuse some of the concepts for future integration work.

2. At another shop, we did an integration with a startup that was providing a reasonably related service. Part of the gig was we were going to get something like 10$ for every client signed up. I think the project was a good 3-5 months of 1 Sr, 1-2 normal devs, a BA and QA's time. In the first 12 months after launch I don't even think we got enough to cover a weeks worth of pizza for the team.

3. Was not my team but I saw it happen, one of the above shops also wound up deciding 'Everyone should use the same ORM because cogs in a machine'. This included having a fully in production product port their entire app's NHibernate logic to EF6 on Oracle 11... This did not end well for the project at all, as on top of being a huge timesink to get things 'working', performance tanked and it hurt the project's already heavy maintenance costs.
There are. He himself wrote "Now it can be Told". The 1998 "The General and the Bomb: A Biography of General Leslie R. Groves, Director of the Manhattan Project" is hard to get, but good. Groves, at peak, had quite an empire - not just the bomb project, but his own air force and his own State Department.

The head of the USSR's atomic bomb project was Lavrentiy Beria. Yes, that Beria, head of the secret police and responsible for various purges and genocides. Yet he successfully ran the atomic bomb program. After the bomb worked, the people who would have been executed if it failed got Hero of the Soviet Union medals. The people who merely would have been sent to gulags got the next medal below that.
These jars are clearly labeled “Momofuku”. I’m not even aware they’re called chili crunch. Momofuku clearly seems to be the actual trademark.
I think there are a lot of developers on HN so that’s why I asked here.

For the record I’m not selling anything yet, just trying to figure out if there would be need for something like that.
I realize this is not super clear, and in fact we have an open issue to improve on where reference counting are done automatically.

At the moment, only global and member instances get automatically incremented/decremented.

There is a plan to extend that to local instances as well.

But also `delete object` will automatically decref and delete if reaching 0.

In practice, this all saves a lot of manual allocation/deallocation efforts compared to plain C, but it's all fairly low level (which was by design).

I worked on a phone for the hard of hearing. It is loud, and it also displays what the other party says in text on the screen. So when a hard-of-hearing person can't hear what the other party says, they can read it three seconds later.

It matters. When people can't hear, they lose their social lives.

I heard Spark was worse, but this was not it.
> Instead of checking `state == advance(state, 232-1)`, which takes 32 multiplies, it's cheaper to do `advance(state, 1) == advance(state, 232), which only takes 2 multiplies (they both still take 32 squares unless you cache those). And actually the special case of 1 didn't require constructing the matrix at all, allowing a cheaper direct computation.

Ah! That makes sense. But for N=2^32-1, there are also checks for N/3, N/5, N/17, N/257, and N/65537.
How are these two use cases different? Are there vpn services that let you do one and not the other?

I think this adult was expected to save up a lot of the college money before the child turned 18.
Been working on the same project for close to a decade now: remote patient monitoring in the healthcare sector. (Mainly chronic) patients get to live longer and more normal lives knowing that any worsening of their condition is caught early on by clinicians and as a result the national (usually European) healthcare services save a ton of money by avoiding (re)admissions to their hospitals, one of those rare win-win scenarios. Improved the lives of thousands of patients over the years.
They say it is production ready and beta in the same sentence? When did the definition of beta change?
As someone whose first programming job was processing multispectral satellite data[0][1]: if you put me in charge of a mission, my first question would be "which specific frequencies provide the most scientific value?", and then focus on that/those. They won't necessarily have anything in common with what you'd normally use for "true colour" (quite a lot of what you see in astronomy falls into this category: even when you see a colourised press-release, it's not what you'd see if you looked at it with your natural eye).

As for "what about a colour camera":

First, look at all the noise in the images, all those slightly curved streaks. That's radiation going through the satellite and hitting the sensor from the side. Normal consumer stuff isn't even trying to cope with that sort of environment.

Second, look at how low the frame rate is. That suggests the data rate is really low, and they probably don't have spare capacity for anything merely decorative.

IIRC PostgreSQL is the preferred 'reference' for when features are added to SQLite.

It's a different sort of beast than SQLite/Access.

SQLite, Access, and FirebirdDB in 'local' mode are examples of 'file based databases' (Access of course is normally used via the application, but you can absolutely get to it in other ways.)

Postgres, MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), Oracle, and FirebirdDB in 'client/server' mode, involve having a dedicated server (or cluster of servers) that store the data and run the actual SQL logic.

Hope that helps?

In California traffic they can lane split so many drivers when they hear a bike coming up (or see one) will hug the outside of the lane to allow them space to safely pass.
True, there's a lot of wiggle room between outright lies and strategic narrative crafting. That said, I think it's absolute hyperbole that they are "scaring most would be competitors". If anything, competitors can use the public's response to Tesla announcements as free market research. They also can look to Tesla's track record at delivering on time and at promised price points to make their decisions.

That'll work, until a petty bureaucrat decides to ruin your day.
And without exception the folks fixated on the notion they're paying the way for someone else fail to grasp, on the most fundamental level, the notion of a public good. There are days where I think it'd be amusing to suspend federal and state law in the Dakotas just to see how long it took before regional warlords took over.
I spent a couple years working on "a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications", but none of the code I wrote during that time actually shipped, so it's hard to say how useful that was. The technology itself seems to have turned out useful, though! I suspect "none of the code I wrote during this time actually shipped, but the project was a success*" is a common story in the industry at this point?

* though my understanding is almost everyone on the project struggled to get promoted since it was behind schedule
The random comma pause doesn’t help.
I’ve worked on medical device stuff too, and it’s not like anything else. I’ll never forget the first time I found out that code I’d written had saved someone’s life. I’d done plenty of awesome things, and in that moment they all felt small.

On the other hand, a couple of years ago, I ported an ETL infrastructure written in a mix of ksh and utility programs, originally written for Aix, into Java because whoever was taking ownership of the system lacked UNIX experience, and for whatever reason they decided porting them into Java was a great idea.

Not surprisingly, the whole ETL/SFTP workflow got a tad bit slower.

so they had long been a mac user, but the screenreader support started to slip around ~2014 so they actually switched back to windows because it was just a much better experience since apple who used to rock had dropped the ball. i tried to get him in touch with some cupertino people but we got snubbed, sadly.

anyway, it was IDA Pro, and they had spent some upfront time on tuning the layout to optimize their flow. I do not remember specifically but yes their IDA looked very different than the default setup.
And it’s not even original, they wanted customers to draw assocations between them and the famed Momofuku Ando.

> Meanwhile, a shit-hot new open-source KV database could come out tomorrow, and AWS would forget their newfound OSS goodwill towards Valkey in a heartbeat.

Why do you say that? AWS is going to be providing Valkey as a service to millions of paying customers via their ElasticCache offering. Every cloud provider will be doing something similar. It's the same story with OpenSearch, it's now deeply integrated into AWS and used not just directly by their customers but by other AWS services. That's honestly the best model for OSS, many financially interested parties who want the software to exist to support their business, but the software itself isn't their business.

And now there's not a conflict of interest for the project to hold back features because they want to save them for the enterprise tier. The software getting better for everyone directly benefits their hosted offering.

I think there's a strong case that given a time machine Redis should have never been OSS so they could sell software licenses. But at the same time Redis wouldn't have become a household name for developers and have the huge ecosystem of tooling surrounding it were it not for the fact that it's OSS.

> experts told PopSci platforms also oppose the laws because they don’t want to be responsible for collecting and maintaining torrents of sensitive users’ data that could pose a ripe target for cybercriminals.

Good thing these laws specifically ban them from storing that information that they don't want to store.

The implication here is so strange. Kids generally don't have a way to buy VPN services (I suppose they could mail cash to mullvad), so mission accomplished?

> Some of the anti-porn laws, like the one enacted in Utah, already possess language explicitly prohibiting online platforms from letting minors “change or bypass restrictions on access.”

That's a social media law, not a porn law, and it's about parental controls that the parent set up on an account that's been marked as a child account (so only the parent account can modify controls on the child account: duh!).

Absolutely garbage article. Didn't even link to the actual laws. And people complain that no one will pay for "journalism" like this.

The McNamara fallacy is about inappropriate metrics against real, objective measures like "have we actually won the war?", not competition against vague considerations that aren't even objectively definable.

Health insurance companies do actually care, unfortunately. They're incentivized to embrace higher prices since they have to spend at least 80% of premiums on payouts. If you have a fixed margin, well, you have to increase premiums to increase profit, so higher prices means more profit.

In my work, I’ve seen some incredibly obese children. And those incredibly obese children more often than not, turn into incredibly obese adults that have super super bad health outcomes. I think it’s actually advantageous to treat obesity in children as soon as it’s appropriate to. I’m less pro gastric sleeves etc for kids, because I’m also less pro for that in adults as it doesn’t always seem to help with the underlying behaviours (obsessive & compulsive eating). However, for some people it is the best and most appropriate treatment for their health conditions.

I can also however, understand the fear people may have around giving medication to kids for the purpose of weight loss. It is definitely something to be cautious about. However, sometimes the long-term impacts of the illness that needs treating trumps the possible long term negative side effects of the drugs. It’s really a balancing act. It’s never easy.
>If I'm honest, most security engineers suck. 90% are crappy IT Admins or Compliance Monkeys who did CISSP and maybe worked for PWC or an MDR for 1-2 years and don't know the difference between NFTables and NTFS

As a security engineer, I agree. I hang up and work with really skilled people, so sometimes I'm shocked when I work with a client's it security engineer and they barely know how to use a terminal. Sometimes don't even have a way (or skill) to use SSH. Not to mention that I code/script every day, and most "standard" big company security engineers just use ready made tools.

Sorry for the rant.

I somehow agree with your examples, but not sure if I agree with the overall idea behind your messages (as written). People have different workflows, and forcing everyone to the same mediocre one will just hurt productivity. Of course there need to be standards, but if people feel restricted by having jump through hoops on unfamiliar operating systems and spend a lot of time and frustration fighting them... Then they're probably right. You should listen and give way more than rat's ass to engineers problems.
