No app I've ever deployed does passthrough authz to the filesystem, the app itself runs as in the context of a particular user and manipulates files as it's own principal which is basically the same as what happens with databases.
>I wish there would be some tool w/ DDL that you can use to define schemas, functions and views which would automatically sync changes to staging environment and then properly these changes on production.

A long time ago, I joined a company where the "DB Migration Script" was an ever-growing set of migrations that took close to an hour to run. There were the same issues of lack of context, history, etc.

Since we were a Microsoft shop, I took the following approach to use Visual Studio DB projects and the SQL Server sqlpackage tool. Every table, stored procedure, schema, user, index, etc. was represented by a single file in the project, so it would have full git history and DB changes and the code that relied on them would be in the same commmit. (Data migrations still had to be stored separately in up/down migration files)

The "build" was to create the SQLPackage dacpac file from the DB project, and deploy was to apply the dacpac to the target database and then run data migrations (which were rare). Since the dacpac represented the desired end state of the database, it didn't require a DB to be in a specific state first, and it allowed the same deploy to run as part of CI, manual testing, staging deploy, and production deploys. It also generally took less than 5 seconds.

I was lucky enough to see him speak at the Simons' Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook as an undergrad, even though I had no idea what he was talking about (he was explaining the math behind the sculpture he had contracted for the university). He's always been an inspiration to me and I would strongly recommend (as other commenters already have) the book "The Man who Solved the Market" which gives the history of Renaissance Technologies. Whether it's his career in Math/Physics, or career in the stock market, he was at the top of the game. His contributions to the university in combination with his Philanthropic efforts to improve Math education are likely his greatest contributions to humanity. It's highly likely that my tuition was paid for by someone who worked for him at the Hedge Fund, or maybe even Simons himself. Rest In Peace Jim. :'(
I guess the question is, is the interface to Deno-KV specified well enough that it could be replaced by another back-end?

Is it a "replaceable part"?

Was it the content/aims of the conferences, or just that they were so ostentatiously luxurious?

N=1 but in my personal experience most people don't care about loud sound levels anymore. Neither when they produce it nor when they are experiencing it. I blame two things: a) they are already deaf anyway b) I am getting grumpier and have always been more sensible to noise than others.
I live near a medium-busy street. I haven't seen actual numbers but it wouldn't surprise me if at peak hours there are over 100 cars passing per minute.

If 5% of those are overly loud, that's an average of a very loud noise every 3 seconds, and most of them will take somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds to come and finally go away. If you don't think that's large, we have very different noise thresholds.
I hope you realize that these events are notable because they are unusual and not because they are the rule.
M1 Max beat 5950X in overall single-threaded SPEC2017 when it came out. It won big in some MT workloads too.

Punching within its own weight class, laptop chips rather than expecting it to outright beat desktop chips... it beat the 5980HS and 11980HK in every single test.

It just didn't sink into the public consciousness too well at that point because everyone assumed it must have been some erroneous test/outlier.

Afaik, only Cloudflare's "checking if the site connection is secure" pages are rubbish. And while those are really rubbish (as a web user), the stuff they talk about on their devblogs seems quite solid. I don't think your generalisation is valid.
Almost all tax loopholes people talk about are intentional policies with intentional results. The thing you're quoting is very much an example - it's very much by design that capital gains are offset by capital losses and you're taxed only on the net. (I should note that the article is being imprecise, and ordinary income is much harder to offset this way.)
> And a simple utility that concatenates videos for $20/month?

Maybe it does more than that? Why would anybody voluntarily pay a subscription for something that isn't worth the money?

> Immediately opening a second account when the first one was banned, before they had appealed, is also extremely suspicious behavior.

That is the most human behavior imaginable. Something bad happens to you, it's now an emergency, so you try every avenue to address it simultaneously.

I feel like it’s pretty easy to disprove. I mentioned Humane AI in another comment, so here I’ll use a different and more flamboyant example: the 2019 movie Cats.

After putting $85-110M into the production of the movie, Universal released a trailer that went super viral and had every person on the internet talking about how terrible it looked. When the movie actually came out there was a second viral wave of gawking. Did this drive tons of people to the theater so they revel in the movie’s epic badness for themselves? No, the movie (which had over a dozen stars and was based on a hit musical that is popular around the world) failed to make back its budget at the box office. For reference (in case someone tries to pull the “maybe it would’ve made less money without the negative publicity” card) Tom Hooper’s previous movie musical Les Miserables earned $442M on a $61M budget.

That is why our (IPinfo) data downloads just point to a storage URI. The download command is essentially:

Anyone one to watch is 'peak road' or peak transport.

Most countries continue to steadily expand transport infrastructure. Returning some of that back to a natural state, or just abandoning it, does happen but remains very rare.
>the alternative to including the yubikey code is not using a yubikey, which reduces security.

Thanks for the reply! If you don't mind asking more: what do you use for polynomial GCD? Apparently it is quite fast, do you use some standard algorithm implemented well or is there some kind of algorithmic improvement? Is it described somewhere, say a paper or a book? Have you tried to benchmark it against NTL, for example? Thanks again!
Well, maybe the tide is turning. HN is usually left-leaning but I'd think after a number of hard-to-deny realities people might change their views.

Safari and Mobile Safari are common and are neither Firefox nor Chrome derivatives.

Uncommon and neither Firefox nor Chrome Derivatives: Netsurf, Dillo, Ladybird each have their own engines. A few browsers also use a Gecko fork called Goanna. (Pale Moon comes to mind first, but there are at least a couple others that use the same engine.) Then there's Konqueror. It's not common, but can either use old KHTML or WebKit (Safari's engine).

> 8 gallons per person per day. Water is heavy—8 pounds per gallon

The average person needs far less than 65lbs (30kg) of water per day, which is a third of the average male weight in the US.

By medical standards humans need more like 8lbs (under 4l) per day for men and 6lbs (under 3l) for women. Less if your rationing and not exerting yourself.
Startup spikes; AIUI anything with a motor will initially sink way more power than you expect it to use, then settle to a more reasonable level. So you need to overspec a generator to handle that without a brownout.

That doesn't apply here; no matter how much street name data is collected, no amount of the collection, including the entire thing, can be copyrighted in a way that would impose any restrictions on OpenStreetMap.

From your link, which is quite short:

> such copyright may exist when the materials in the compilation (or "collective work") are selected, coordinated, or arranged creatively such that a new work is produced. Copyright does not exist when content is compiled without creativity, such as in the production of a telephone directory.

So you'd have to ask yourself, "was any creativity, of any kind at all, required in order to call this street by its own name?" And the answer is even more obviously "no" than in the paradigm case in which the telephone directory can't be copyrighted because it consists of facts (involving no creativity) in an externally specified order (alphabetical) in a collection specified by an external rule ("everything is included").
I can second this book recommendation. Remarkable candor in such a secretive field.

> but there is such a thing as a database right which is separate from copyright

That's purely an unforced error on the part of OpenStreetMap. They are incorporated in England, which recognizes a database right. But there is no reason for that. In general, there is no such thing as a database right.

And this isn't even relevant to londons_explore's point; he is stupidly arguing that even if the information is available on a road sign, the public cannot use it because it might be included in a protected work somewhere. That is obviously untrue; the availability on the road sign does in fact automatically mean that inclusion in a protected work is irrelevant.

If you see a sign giving you the name of a road, and then publish information to the effect that the road's name is what is printed on that sign, no database was involved at any point, and a database right cannot apply. All you have is a bare fact.
I've heard of data centers on ships or on the water, someone told me the internet wasn't green (big shock to me at that point) and what they're doing.

I think everyone is overly negative around the world for a variety of reasons

COVID hangover, war, elections, food prices

That news & social media is significantly negative and designed to induce and promote rage, that's the crux of this issue
It's just the shear waste of it all that strikes me. Like so many of those things cost so much money to the people that could use or want them. So many high-paid tech workers are already out-of-touch with what most people consider affordable that I'm not surprised their marketing team thought this was ok.

But most artists are starving, and we live in a world where waste like this isn't really morally acceptable.

There are a long list of arts with adjectives in front of them. commercial art, applied art, fine art, etc...they aren't art just because you have co-opted art to mean only fine art. Also see:

They're voluntarily paying for it. They know what they're receiving for the money. No one is forcing them. That's the definition of it being worth the money to them.

This is the most accurate take I've seen on this space. Instead of actual innovation we are being gaslit into overpaying and metered into every aspect of DX.

As I've worked in PE companies, I know all too well how they operate. It's just a shame that developers are naive and clueless about it.
Your comment just made me wonder if the catching of those trillions of pennies makes the markets more efficient.

While I'm not one to fawn after billionaires, I found his life story and personality really fascinating. He really seemed to maintain a humble approach, and in the Numberphile interview, which is excellent, he really emphasized the notion of luck in success. He donated a ton of money in very targeted ways that have been extremely successful. I think because of his humble approach, lack of self-promotion, etc., he's a bit unknown outside certain circles, but his impact in certain areas has been big.

While I wish that our country didn't have to rely on billionaires spearheading initiatives, which often goes the wrong way, Simons was absolutely an example of one of the good ones.

I don't know your risk profile. I do know that the most experienced security professionals work for nation states and are motivated by patriotism and money and professional pride. Because the stakes are as high as stakes get, they have the biggest budgets too.

Assuming that cryptographic math claims of widely used algorithms are true, as a basic matter of professional competence, these security actors have incentives to compromise implementations. It's tanks against crossbows. At best.

If you are asking, it's probably more like tanks against a reader of books on crossbows. Being clever enough to thwart a lone wolf in a hoodie doesn't scale to actors who can compromise hosted services in ways that the service stays up and the service doesn't discuss the compromise.

When push comes to shove those professionals apply wrenches. All ordinary security is theater. But ordinarily theater is enough and anyway that's all ordinary people can afford. Good luck.
Hardware products have a much harder time becoming more popular. They are often restricted to a few countries and require significant investment from customers, whereas software can be distributed overnight to a hundred different countries at once.

Hence, the economics of both are vastly different. It is much harder to reach the viral inflection point with hardware than software, even with great products.

This line is always ludicrous because it doesn’t play in literally any other volunteering scenario. In a previous life I coordinated volunteers. You better believe that I still held them to a standard and told them their time was better spent elsewhere if they didn’t want to play by the rules. “But they’re volunteering!” Is a uniquely open source contributor mindset that only seeks to perpetuate some nerd’s weird fiefdom. The reality is that for some people, they’re just…fine not getting paid with money, because what they’re really after is something to control.
