I am using WAL mode. Without it the site cannot really function.

I am starting to think that the connection errors I have have to do with a combination of the crash recovery process, which takes an exclusive lock, and the fact that I am using ATTACH on multiple auxiliary databases. I have a suspicion that I have entered into less tested territory with the latter. I also might be getting the system into tight recovery/crash loops when systemd is restarting these processes due to "database locked" errors.

In practice today, if you have a DB9 serial port, that goes into the section of the chipset which is concerned with all the "legacy" interfaces, which ultimately turns up on the PCIe bus like everything else.

Val Town's Seed Round
The neurological studies to which you refer point to the neurological phenomenon, but you’re mapping that to a single possibility for the psychological process that is coupled with the physical phenomenon, namely, that anger monotonically amplifies over time when reinforced, perhaps to some asymptotic steady state that’s greater than a normative baseline

An equally valid narrative is that, especially in our society where most people have repressed anger, once anger is tapped into, there’s an overwhelm of backlogged emotion that is also released. Anger as an emotion is energetically expensive for a biological system, and it doesn’t make any sense that it would continue to be reinforced indefinitely.

I struggle to think of any piece of software or any group on the planet that has better commitment to transparency & doing it right. Who do you think does a better job, and how?

https://www.chromium.org/blink/launching-features/#new-featu... shows the process followed. Creating an explainer comes first, which is to be presented immediately to an incubation venue like WICG. Prototype behind a feature flag. Then widening review further, getting request for positions. It's recommended to start an origin trial which will run for a quarter or more. If everything is going fine, then one can start the intent to ship process.

Looking at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev paints such a picture of slow, controlled evolution. It's absurd to me this kind of flak blasted in the air trying to shoot down something that is generally so measured & controlled & steady in releasing. No one else has anything half this controlled. Who else does Intent to Experiment or Intent to Prototype? Few software has such a model where it's so clear what's coming, what's happening, where change & evolution is done in a controlled, slow, deliberate fashion, where prototypes are worked on & tested in the field for a significant amount of time before coming back to shipping. Few other softwares have such an extreme responsibility in going to working bodies, in soliciting requests for positions, where all manners of discovery are done.

Show HN: In-memory Documents Search Engine for structured and unstructured data
Hi HN,
We are excited to launch an in-memory documents search engine. Please check out the demo at https://finance-demo.joyspace.ai.

With this demo, we indexed around 500,000 pages of Mutual Fund Prospectus Risk/Return Summary Data Sets from the SEC. This includes mutual fund prospectus and other disclosures by mutual funds.This form is called 485BPOS document (and 497 form). We indexed a couple of quarters worth of data but we can easily scale to 20 years of data and still serve results in milliseconds. You can extend this to 10K, 10Q, 8K, and hundreds of other finance documents.

For this demo, we built UI showcasing search capabilities. You can use pagination, facets and filtering, search-as-you-type, grouping out of the box. It is possible to integrate with top UI frameworks such as ReactJS, SvelteJS, VueJS, or plain Javascript.

You can also extend this capability out-of-the-box for legal and other industries. You can also power your own AI assistant with our search.

We have APIs for indexing and search. We support all standard formats such as JSON, PDF, CSV, TSV, HTML, DOC, DOCX, RTF, and others. We manage indexing and search pipelines for you.

Let us know what you think.

I'm not sure if he's "attempting to solve it" so much as he's looking for yet another way to keep himself famous.

The guy did one good jailbreak for the iPhone, and as near as I can tell, the rest of his work has been a lot of boasting, half-assed hyped-up implementations (e.g: his self-driving car), and trying to befriend other powerful people in tech (see: his promise to single-handedly fix Musk's Twitter).

Fair enough. In that job I was working on a remote Linux system that was quite outdated. So everything I wanted to install (newer version of Emacs, etc) required me to build so many libraries, as the system ones were too old (Emacs alone required 50-100). I didn't want the hassle of keeping all the source code around.
Automattic sometimes acquires companies and does nothing with them - like with Simplenote. As an early Beeper user, I am disappointed!
They will likely dismantle Texts and focus on Beeper as it received more investment while taking the good of Texts. They will probably introduce Texts monetization model to Beeper though.

It's a lot more nuanced than that. You can't just "control your anger". You can layer a controlling part of your mind on top of the anger to try to swat it down every time it surfaces, but this is a temporary solution. Especially when the anger is rooted deeply in things like trauma or shame.

The path forward is to understand the anger with compassion, and the trauma or painful emotions below it, or the boundaries that are being crossed. Rather than just trying to force yourself not to feel it.

It's not that different from telling a depressed person that they should just think positively to cure themselves.

My mom passed away about 15 months ago, and while I have worked in emotional expression for 12 years, her passing had me feeling the most raw. I think one main thing that happened with grief for me is that I felt things so intensely, the full spectrum, and it became really hard to not suppress those feelings.

So I think the broader picture is not just grief, but feelings, especially intense feelings. If I feel sad, I want to cry, not work. If I feel tired, I want to sleep, not work. If I fall in love, I want to be with that person, not work. I think many if not most feelings can get in the way of our maximum productivity states. Maybe low level anger and focus, with a little bit of playfulness, can keep us productive, but stray too far outside of that and we don't look as productive.

I would argue, however, that we might be more productive in the long-term, because otherwise we may burn out, communicate less effectively, and become more desensitized to what people need and want, both from consumers and fellow producers.

It is a fairly low level abstraction, but one that does not require a verbose api. There is nothing error prone or hackish about what you have written, it will work for all inputs, it is just low level. You are just used to having other people write this code for you and give you a library. With newer versions of SQLite you could also write

> Matt, Automattic’s CEO, and I have known each other for years. He was an early user, supporter and investor in Beeper

It certainly sounds like…

Beeper was in the bin after the beeper mini fiasco, and resulting massive brand damage (brand aweness is only good if it means people actually want to use your product, not active distrust it), so the friend and early investor CEO of Automattic saved their failing personal investment by bailing them out and letting automattic foot the bill.

Nice having a friend CEO, huh?

I mean, you’ve got to hope/believe the other folk at automattic did their due diligence, but it does look like automattic is paying the bills for their CEO to bail out their friends.

That would make them gullible and seems pretty shady unless they really do have some astonishing reason to expect this to pay off… or they got it dirt cheap, in my opinion.
> ["you can't make a feature until everyone agrees" is] exactly how the web is supposed to work

That's just wildly incorrect as a matter of history. To first approximation every technology we use was implemented via Netscape and Microsoft jamming features in as fast as they could and implementing ones from their competitor only once it was clear they were reaching adoption. The interest in a "standards process" really only showed up after the turn of the millenium, once Netscape had faded and IE had begun to stagnate. And in fact Chrome was by far the biggest driver of this change.
Your second point seems to contradict the first

I've always been skeptical of generative AI being used to make slides. I like the idea of it, and maybe someday we will get there. But right now, they all feel like they are trying to fully automate the process where what I really want them to do is automate the tedious parts, co-piloting with me.

Because what ends up happening is I need a high degree of precision and I have a very concrete idea of what I need to present on a slide and exactly how to do it. But because it's fully automated, I have to instead convince the AI to generate my concrete idea on its own. Then I just don't use it entirely. Meanwhile, I go back to tediously making little shapes and moving them into precise locations, aligning things, and so on.
> But, just as much, the dead do deserve our attention and respect.

They do in a way, but don't fool yourself that it's actually about the individual dead. It's about humanity in general, and the contribution – good, bad, or meaningless – that every single human life has made to our collective existence. It's good that we admire rainbows, but that doesn't mean we should revere every droplet of water.

> The dignity of a person doesn’t cease when they are dead.

It doesn't 'cease' inasmuch as it becomes a meaningless term. The dead don't have dignity, they are no longer people. It's the memories of the dead have dignity. Those memories are not a part of the dead, they are a part of the living that remember them.

Ok so I wrote my hypothesis like this:

- We want to go deep into building quiz features as a SaaS. Think like how you use Form & Survey tools, similarly, you can now power quizzes and assessments via this Product
- Our focus is to help you *ingrain quiz elements as part of your site* rather than asking your users to leave your site
- A quiz framework can be used for a variety of use cases: Marketing, Product Certifications, Employee training and more

A more detailed note in case it helps: https://l.uxhack.co/quiz-saas
Depends on which branch of RTS design you want to explore.

Age of Empires 2 still has a significant player base, for example, so it's both a genre-defining classic and modern ranked multi-player.

Other RTS design traditions include Total Annilation, etc. Plus there's adjacent stuff, such as They Are Billions which just does the base building part and drops some of the other mechanics.
Helmet trophy like systems with shotgun cartridges?
For me that is a positive, not a negative. They have kept it alive, have not messed it up, and have not upset the apple cart with wild changes resulting in loss of compatibility with past versions. There can be cases where it's a negative but I think Automattic has been a near-perfect steward of Simplenote. I suppose my only concern as ever is how they keep it alive at their expense without freemium'ing and paywalling it to death. I assume they are just footing the bill for its continued operation right now.
Beeper is a unified messaging app that supports multiple services, the iMessage thing was a separate app called Beeper Mini.

I think Beeper will continue to be useful to people, regardless of whether it supports iMessage or not. Obviously, supporting iMessage would be a big plus, but from what I gather, many people use it for other services.
I am sooo interested in this because I think loom is one of the best and most useful products for communicating knowledge. Especially in remote companies.

But it’s not interactive!

I’m surprised by the skepticism here. Slides suck ass to communicate ideas, and text is just not enough IMO. The future is: everybody has tablet they can draw with (like the ipad pro) and can easily communicate back and forth by cobuilding an interactive timeline of videos. I see the vision.

Assuming anyone cares enough. Alternative approaches include, ignoring the problem, working around it, or changing business requirements so that the feature isn't available anymore.

There are a lot of people in the industry that just throw up their hands at roadblocks they can't solve and say something is not technically possible. These people include "tech leads" or other high-level software roles at companies.
Progressive is a technical term and is not necessarily related to the colloquial concept of “progress”.

> Exciting day for Beeper!

Congratulations on your successful exit, but is it actually an exciting day for Beeper? Your product has been assimilated into something of a behemoth, whose goals (in spite of the text of your announcement) aren't necessarily those of a free and open internet through open communication protocols. Do you foresee a five-year timeline in which anti-monopoly legislation forces an opening up of the WhatsApp/iMessage/Messenger walled gardens? And if that were to happen, do you foresee Beeper still existing as a standalone product? Do you foresee there actually being a need for Beeper versus, say, a rejuvenated (and very open) Pidgin?

Yeah, neither do I...although I do prefer to be optimistic.
