I moved to a countryside 2 years ago, escaping from city noise. Now, I’m going back (although to the outer, more quiet side of the city) because I’m going mad - lawnmowers, dogs, tractors, diesel generators, dogs, dogs, lawnmowers, dogs, …
We really need to figure out ways to get big fat data pipes to places that are naturally cold. Like imagine if we could get big pipes to Antarctica and then build data centers there. Plenty of fresh water and cold enough that you could almost just cool it with outside air, and you can exhaust the water right back outside to freeze back up. You could also use the exhaust heat to warm up the living spaces nearby.

The only question would be, would it create so much heat in one spot that it would actually warm up the environment too much?

The main thing stopping this now is lack of high throughput low latency data to the continent.

I don't know about Elvish, but globs in bash aren't part of the loop syntax, they're their own thing, so this also just works:

But learning to be deceptive when being taught a game that requires deception is not in any way related to spreading misinformation on social networks.

LLMs can create misinformation to spread on social networks if the people using them ask them to.

LLM bots can spread that misinformation without direct human control if they are programmed to do so.

LLMs cannot be taught to play poker, and then use their newfound understanding of deception to go out and spread misinformation of their own volition, because they have neither understanding nor volition.
Quick follow up on the integration with Linear: just confirmed that we do not need write scopes on the workspace. The fix will be in production by next week :)
This is very cultural. Eastern cultures, for eg. Indian, Asian etc. place a lot of respect in objects associated with learning or education or creation even if they are just objects.

Indians never touch books with their feet, it's considered very disrespectful to the idea of education / learning, since a book is an embodiment of that. Likewise for musical instruments.

Western cultural prides itself on its irreverence for conventions like these. And everything is viewed from a lens of individual freedom.

Thinking browser or other local integration is not as dangerous as network features is nonsensical.

All of the disabled features are expendable. I never used any even while they were in there. Yet I do use keepassxc all day every day for the one job it actually does exist to do.

Convenience and necessity are two different things. You want conveninece, and you're not wrong to want it, but you don't need it, and your want of convenience is not important enough to make the base utility when it is a password manager and not a gif editor less safe than it could be by default. It is correct that if you want to trade away safety for convenience, that you have to go out of your way to add that yourself, even if most people will choose to do that, and even if the previous default was backwards and it's now ever so slightly disruptive to correct that error now.

I'll say this because it needs to be said. Recently it seems like every developer on LinkedIn who has "C++" in their profile, and their cat, is spammed every couple of weeks by some recruiter with a "great opportunity, 130,000 euros FULLY REMOTE", turning out eventually to be recruiting for think-cell.

I got it, my friends got it, my work mates got it, everyone gets spammed periodically, it has become the laughingstock of job ads.

Why? Read the Glassdoor reviews. The CTO is a terrorist obsessed with complexity, they overengineered themselves into a corner by using every freaking C++ feature that ever existed, making sure that there's only 3 or 4 people in this world who can understand their code. Of course the usual pattern goes: guy learns #feature on-the-fly appearing both incredibly smart and embelishing his resume, until of course reality hits and the complexity of the crap he wrote outclasses his "genius" intellectual capacity so then he leaves, leaving the mess for future hires to deal with.

Consequently there's maybe 3 people left in this world capable to understand the atrocity that's running there, not saying fix it. So good luck finding them. These people, if they exist, already work for more that $130k.

Also, why do they need the absolute raging brinking edge of C++ features? What does this company do? Trillion dollar ultra low latency / high throughput high frequency trading? AAA+ games running on 4 x 4k monitors at 200+ fps?

No. They do some farty charts.

Again. Good luck with the recruitment! :)

I'm on the fence mainly because I have very few tablet needs and my Samsung S6 Lite has been wonderful, but I love the idea of docked mode where it becomes a Google Home.

Coming up with increasing tenuous excuses for why we can ignore the commonly accepted rules of evidence isn't the way to win an argument on this stuff.

> Would a baby that grows up in a sensory deprivation tank, but is still able to communicate and learn from other humans, develop in a recognizable manner?

I don't think so, because humans communicate and learn largely about the world. Words mean nothing without at least some sense of objective physical reality (be it via sight, sound, smell, or touch) that the words refer to.

Hellen Keller, with access to three out of five main senses (and an otherwise fully functioning central nervous system):

Before my teacher came to me, I did not know that I am. I lived in a world that was a no-world. I cannot hope to describe adequately that unconscious, yet conscious time of nothingness... Since I had no power of thought, I did not compare one mental state with another.

I did not know that I knew aught, or that I lived or acted or desired. I had neither will nor intellect. I was carried along to objects and acts by a certain blind natural impetus. I had a mind which caused me to feel anger, satisfaction, desire. These two facts led those about me to suppose that I willed and thought. I can remember all this, not because I knew that it was so, but because I have tactual memory. It enables me to remember that I never contracted my forehead in the act of thinking. I never viewed anything beforehand or chose it. I also recall tactually the fact that never in a start of the body or a heart-beat did I feel that I loved or cared for anything. My inner life, then, was a blank without past, present, or future, without hope or anticipation, without wonder or joy or faith.

I remember reading her book. The breakthrough moment where she acquired language, and conscious thought, directly involved correlating the physical tactile feeling of running water to the letters "W", "A", "T", "E", "R" traced onto her palm.

I understand that it's not for everyone, but for me the value of an iPad is easy to understand.

I draw on it. Sketching and painting. I design 2D layouts on it. I sculpt on it. Lately I've been doing some 3D polygonal modeling on it.

Now are there desktop/laptop apps that can outperform an iPad? Yes. (Though, for drawing an iPad is hard to beat. I prefer it to my $3500 Cintiq in a lot of ways.) But the iPad is lightweight, both in actual weight and in the cost of starting to do something on it.

If I want to do something on a desk top, I first have to go to the desk top, boot it up, load the application(s), and deal with all the distractions and gravitas that a desktop comes with.

With the iPad I pick it up, swipe to the drawing app, or the sculpting app, and start messing around with something. Very low barrier to entry, and I can put it down just as quickly. It's very much like picking up a sketchbook as opposed to setting down at an easel, uncovering the pallette, pouring out some oils, etc.

And I can do it on the couch, in the car (not while driving of course), in a cafe, at the park, on a mountain top, waiting for someone in the lobby. You get the idea.

Lately I've been doing some hand drawn animation on Procreate Dreams. Very nice.

Not everyone does the kind of work I do, and has the same work habits and needs. YMMV.

I also write on the damn thing with the pencil. Not perfect, but its getting there. I can truthfully say that I've written some things that wouldn't have happened if not for having an iPad handy.

It's also great for reading comics and manga. I can't say that I like it for movies or TV. And I'm not interested in it for listening to music. But it's definitely an important tool for me.

I´d assume you use chromium, then:

git clone git://bitreich.org/privacy-haters
doas cp privacy-haters/chromium/default /etc/profile.d/chromium.sh
doas chmod +x /etc/profile.d/chromium.sh

Logout and login again. Of course, run UBlock Origin under Chromium. Go to the settings and enable most ad blocking subscriptions, but don´t use AdGuard and Easylist at the same time, they often use the same ban lists.
Serious question: Did anyone already want to buy an iPad, but the ad made them not buy it in protest? I don't have the data, but I don't expect this to be very common.

I don't watch TV ads and if it wasn't for the controversy I probably wouldn't have known it even existed. Either way, I would choose based on specs and reviews, not whether an ad had the right subtext.

Your pricing page needs work. “Enterprise features” is kind of meaningless and doesn’t tell me what I actually get?

I get why you have a discord, but I wouldn’t feature it so prominently. I, personally, find it to detract from your brand. Enterprise companies aren’t going to allow their employees to access your discord and it just, to me, makes you seem “less serious”.
That’s not how stream processing works? It’s absurdly costly to query snowflake for every record that streams in. So then you try to cache the snowflake dataset. But then the cache becomes stale. Honestly this sounds like an XY problem — the problem is stated as X but you’re really trying to solve something else Y.

What is the business requirement? What are the technical specifications required to meet the need? From there, we can start to consider architecture solutions.

Storage is relatively cheap compared to compute. Most stream processors require or at least highly encourage you to provide them direct access to the input data instead of calling an external system.

Let's take a look at one of the definitions of science

---------
Science
noun
The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
---------

It does not include where the funding or bias comes from.

It also doesn't include if their explanations are correct or not.

--------
social science
noun
The study of human society and of individual relationships in and to society.
...etc.
--------

What you can do is (rightly) question their results, but can't say it's not science.

I'd really consider creating a new table just for this "database interface" That'll let you keep evolving your internal architecture while preserving backwards compatibility for the client. That won't work in all cases obviously, but I think it's suitable for most of the "sensible" ones.
On gridstatus, you can see how much renewable power is being curtailed (purposefully lowering output below what could be produced): https://www.gridstatus.io/live/caiso

Its... several GW in the middle of the day recently. So, this suggests charging EVs during this time would actually allow for better utilization of available renewables.

Another metric you can look at is if the grid scale batteries are currently charging or not. If they are charging, this suggests there is excess capacity available (or at least inexpensive capacity). The hours when grid batteries are charging are probably also good hours to charge EVs.
I noticed the sound when making hot chocolate for my child. I figured there are a number of things at play... the leidenfrost effect when the water hits the much hotter edge above the waterline in a kettle(not in this video), the air over the hot water being more humid (and thus lighter), the much higher vapor pressure, the difference in surface tension, the dissolving of the hot chocolate powder, etc.

Viscosity isn't something I considered... but it makes sense.

> I think we just need something like Git with:

There have been lots of projects over the last 10+ years that have been riffs on "It's Git, but <better in this way>", but none of them have really caught on beyond a small, admittedly passionate group.

I believe that's because once you go through the pain of learning Git, the idea of learning yet another distributed version control system or client seems so unappealing to most people that they'll never do it.

The truth is: if you're using GitHub or GitLab or some other hoster, you're already doing centralized version control; you're just doing it with a confusing distributed version control UX. I'm just trying to skip to the part where we just admit it and call it centralized and build something that makes that experience awesome.

When small trends change quickly - like, jQuery -> Ember -> Aurelia -> Angular -> React - the differences between them can be small.

When major trends change slowly, over decades - like relational -> map-reduce -> key-value -> document db -> graph db - the differences between them are usually much greater, and even if an older product adopts some piece of doing it the new way (think, SQL Server supports JSON storage well enough, but really you want to use a Document DB for that) it's a bolt-on or it doesn't quite fit with the design intent of the system.

Replacing Git is one of those large trend changes, and I don't believe that any "Git, but <better>" product will ever make that change happen. I think it's time for something really different, and a pendulum swing back to centralized, but with modern, fast cloud-native features and infrastructure, ready for high-scale monorepos and large file storage and effectively infinite repo sizes is the way to go.

I don't think there's a good, not-confusing way to build a distributed version control system. Others disagree, that's cool, and there are other wonderful version control projects like Pijul [1] and jj [2] and JamHub [3] and others who are trying to make a better distributed VCS. I know some of the people working on those projects, they're awesome, they care about doing it well, and I wish them all the luck in the world.

Something will catch on and replace Git, soon. Grace is my offering to that.

> No we don't, because I don't know.

The problem here is that people are making claims to the real world with this kind of stuff. They are advocating that we aught "do something" about this.

But, if you retreat to such unfalsifiable claims, you are basically removing yourself from all normal scientific claims that govern all parts of the rest of the world.

To go back to the brain in the vat example, imagine someone was advocating for new laws to govern this brain in a vat theory. I would hope that you wouldn't support some significant legal change to society, merely because you "dont know" that we aren't brains in a vat.

if anything the controversy increased sales. I watched the ad and thought it was pretty cool
>How anyone could see a smaller attack surface as a bad thing on HN baffles the mind.

Because in the real world, with real users, you must balance security and friction. If you have too much friction, users look for workarounds and your theoretical security increase becomes a real world security decrease.

For a real world example of this phenomenon, see forced arbitrary password changes (which are now universally discouraged). They are theoretically more secure, but study after study has proven that, in the real world, forced arbitrary password changes reduce organization-wide security.

Security requires a holistic approach. Users and their behaviors are part of that. Looking only at attack surface is a sure-fire way to make your users work against your security policies rather than with.

What's the diff between heritability and inheritability?
> The title does not reveal that the suggestion applies only to Postgres.

I don't think the OP intends the suggestion to apply only to Postgres:

> The name-giving PostgreSQL database is often already available and in systems where it is not, *it can be easily introduced with minimal effort.*

… i.e., don't have PG? Not a problem, just introduce it into your architecture! (/s, from me, but I think the OP is serious.)

> It is a bad idea to tie your architecture to a specific technology.

But I agree. These sort of "just keep wiring boxes together until it works" architectures cause so many headaches IME; so many pieces, each with its own failure modes and bugs. This is where I find the claim the OP makes,

> [this design, with PostgREST] is more flexible than one that is developed manually.

… dubious. No, the advantage of doing it in code I control is that I control t hat code, and if something needs to change, it can be. With wired-together-boxes-of-random-tooling like this, I have to pray my change fits into the whims of its config files.
