I’ve got at least that many. There are a lot of flat file formats I know as well as various databases. You can even do what I did in the first program I ever
wrote and use php code as a storage format. But obviously you should use Postgres.
Easy to use is difficult to extend beyond the framework capability. Simple is easier to.
> Furthermore, I can take your argument and use it the same. Eg Many people don’t eat vegetables, they only eat meat, and they are doing fine and many say they are doing better than ever. Let’s not make incorrect statements, vegetables are not key to anything

You've lost me here. If you want a short active life then mainly meat might be fine, if you want to live in a different situation than our evolutionary past then you are killing yourself early by skipping vegetables, statistically speaking.

You've completely changed the bar in your argument from what is good for preventing early death by today's standards for expected life time to other things.
Oh sure. Just wanted to stress that that's seldom the case. I see so many cases of wasted optimizations because someone thought performance mattered, leading to unnecessarily complex code or other maintenance issues.

In other cases, especially in my sector, it's simply that the customer values lower cost over absolute performance.

Of course, not saying you shouldn't be mindful of introducing an O(n^2) algorithm when an O(n log n) can trivially be used, or similar.

I really appreciate the simplicity of the DSL presented.

I'm curious how you see the project evolving as you add those things. How do you see it differentiating itself from rails or django?

That's a declaration of intent to prosecute Trump for what he did. That's the difference between "hold him accountable" and "get him".

Also the lack of 20 years of optimization where it spent a lot of time as one of the larger open source web servers and so got a lot of attention.

In 2024 people are more likely to turn the cloud knob up to pay for throughput (if they need it) and save on dev time with the comparably better dev ex that caddy offers.
Federal Government (e.g. CIA) is a key spreader of misinformation.
So this is an interesting case because by all accounts it was Snowflake that got compromised, not Ticketmaster themselves. So this isn’t them messing up but their vendor. I get the argument that you are responsible for your vendors, but at the same time the whole point of buying a SaaS product is precisely to hire domain experts to run a piece of infrastructure that you have less experience with. Security is very hard even for major companies with a stronger culture of it who spend much more resources on it like Apple and Google. It’s not clear that if Ticketmaster would have done a better job.

I think the view I’m most sympathetic too is that customer information should be viewed and reported on as a toxic asset/liability to discourage gathering of personal information in the first place.
Or, if you want better examples, how about the massively promoted "2000 mules" movie?

It was literally all lies, just proven in court, and the producer just apologized to one of the subjects for those lies and pulled it from distribution.

When one of the primary architects of right-wing strategy advocates a key tactic of "flooding the zone with bullshit", that side has no complaint. Particularly when that tactic is derived specifically from Russian dezinformatsiya techniques, where the goal is not to get people to believe the lies (the few who do are a bonus), but to exhaust reason and get people to give up and say "we can't tell what is true". At that point, they are most manipulable.

Yes, that must be what happened. Maybe it was also traced back to the person based on previous posts or something like that, and they got cold fee.
Strange agenda here. This conversation isn't about those things, and isn't about censorship.
I have used GitHub Copilot since it came out. I mostly use it for code explanations and writing tests.

My experience is that you can't trust it completely for obvious reasons, so you need to know what you are doing before you can rely on these tools.

I have tried Amazon Q and was severely disappointed.
The last half-dozen concerts I've been to have some sort of live code or something where screenshots don't work. I haven't spent enough time trying to deduce if the code itself changes or if the scanner just reads animation over the code, but at least for the moment you do need the live app to get into most concerts if they're using the Ticketmaster or Live Nation apps.
John, do tell more about BLC please!
A basic problem with evaluations like these is that the test is designed to discriminate between humans who would make good lawyers and humans who would not make good lawyers. The test is not necessarily any good at telling whether a non-human would make a good lawyer, since it will not test anything that pretty much all humans know, but non-humans may not.

For example, I doubt that it asks whether, for a person of average wealth and income, a $1000 fine is a more or less severe punishment than a month in jail.
Sounds like wokescolds enforcing a code of conduct to push a political agenda. No thanks.
I'm usually hesitant to give advice since I'm never in someone elses shoes, but here's some thoughts:

A lot of community building comes down to trust, whether you are developing a commercial or open source platform. As a customer and integrator/consultant/developer, I want to know that the platform is going to be around and supported. The bigger my company the higher the risk is.

Open sourcing your software sends signals to your customers and partners. Some will see it as a last ditch effort to make it successful, with the flip side being that if it doesn't happen, you're won't be maintaining it anymore. Will that make them more or less likely to use your software/help build your community?

So in your messaging you should be very clear in what you want to achieve, and how you plan to build a successful business around an open source or open core model, and how the others companies fit into this. How will you respond if another company takes your code and does the exact same thing you're trying to monetize, only better? Etc.

You should also be careful about positive feedback. Most people like to be nice and supportive, and won't say negative things. The only way to know whether you'll have success there is to see actual commitment (in money or work spent) with your product.

Finally as others have said, you shouldn't expect automatic success/community by open sourcing the code. You might end up attracting the sort of customers / developers that have the least incentive to contribute or pay for additional services, unless you go find those yourself.
I wonder if Haskell would also be a good fit for writing something like this.

There is no confirmation of a "Snowflake breach". Single accounts might have been compromised, but that's all we know for sure so far.
I don’t see that issue, really. If you don’t want to develop WP, then use a hosted platform or static builder. If you factor your time spent on tweaking this “simple” proposed setup, you’ll see that $20/month is actually a great deal.

Even when I was a WP developer, none of my personal websites were in WP, they all lived on static hosts that needed zero maintenance.
Definitely in my mind! Actually with Copilot you already have pretty good suggestions on autocomplete or with a prompt. But I am not sure of what would be an appropriate UI for a full-AI backend generator.
> Despite the Navy’s instructions, Mr. Kim and Ms. Messenger met with Admiral Burke in Washington in July 2021, and proposed that he steer a work force training contract back to the company, prosecutors said in an indictment.

> The executives also proposed that Admiral Burke remain in the Navy for another six months, using his position to influence other senior officers to award a larger training contract to the company, prosecutors said. Mr. Kim estimated that the value of that contract would be in the “triple digit millions,” prosecutors said.

Sounds like the problems are "contrary to specific instructions", "openly conspiring" and other idiocy.

Vs. my impression is that the standard revolving door involves a lot of winks & blinks & neither saying things out loud, nor drawing undesirable attention.
What on Earth makes you think that training a model on all factual information is going to do a lick in terms of generating factual outputs?

At that point, clearly our only problem has been we've done it wrong all along by not training these things only on academic textbooks! That way we'll only probabilistically get true things out, right? /s

As a part-time contributor on FrankenPHP, from fixing bugs on PHP-src, and implementor of RFCs, I can assure you: I know what I'm talking about.

> Creating a few thousand "new object" takes less than 5 msec.

It depends on what you're doing in the constructor as to how long it takes.

> FrankenPHP uses a Go-based balancer that distributes requests to array of pre-started workers. Just like PHP-FPM does.

No, it doesn't work anything like FPM. Like, at all. There's basically nothing in common between FPM and FrankenPHP. (at least until I merge this next PR for non-worker requests that makes it work like FPM for non-worker requests)

A personal take: the point for SMRs it's not costs nor potential mass-production and so on but a simple thing, they can be moved. We are in a changing world, we know, at least some of us know, we don't really know the future, but we know many will migrate and this means wars but also the inability to made fixed land infra, like roads, rails, electricity grid etc. Long story short: we need to have electricity "with us, moving" and p.v.+storage can works for a large slice of inhabited land but not enough, so we need something similarly easy to locally deploy.

What do you think about that?
It's no surprise that mainstream uses chrome and more tech focused use firefox. That shouldn't be a revelation.

Just two days ago I flipped through a slide deck from a security conference where the author, Jossef Harush Kadouri, found that using a model from a place like Huggingface means the author of the model can execute any code on your machine. Not sure if the slides are uploaded elsewhere, I got them sent as file: https://dro.pm/c.pdf (45MB) slide 188

I didn't realise at the time that I flipped through the slides that this means not only the model's author gets to run code on your machine, but also if Huggingface got a court-signed letter or if someone hacked them (especially if they don't notice for a while¹)

As someone not in the AI scene, I've never run these models but was surprised at how quickly the industry standardised the format. I had assumed model files were big matrices of numbers and some metadata perhaps, but now I understand how they managed so quickly: a model is (eyeing slides 186 and 195) a Python script that can do whatever it wants. That makes "standardisation" exceedingly easy: everyone can do their own thing and you sidestep the problem altogether. But that comes with a cost.

calories in / calories out is a foolproof way to track weight gain/loss over extended periods of time. So people tend to oversimplify nutrition and diet to this one number.

But it is indisputable that your body processes carbs, protein, and fat in very different ways. If you only eat donuts and bacon and candy consistently, in normal
caloric levels, then you will likely develop type 2 diabetes (or more precisely insulin resistance). Glucose in your blood is toxic. Are you really going to argue that this diet is perfectly safe?
Plants do not contain vitamins B12, D3 and K2.

Humans can transform some of the vitamin K1 from plants into K2 (like they can transform beta-carotene from plants into vitamin A), but it seems that the quantity produced thus is not sufficient. The intestinal bacteria can also produce some K2, but it is unpredictable whether that is sufficient. The vitamin K2 is required by humans for purposes in which it cannot be substituted by K1.

Plants do not use iodine and selenium. They may contain some quantities of them, especially of selenium, only when the soil where they have been cultivated happens to be rich in these elements, but it is unpredictable whether they contain enough.

Most humans, especially most males, cannot produce enough DHA and EPA fatty acids from the fatty acids available in plants.

Besides iron, plants do not contain enough calcium and they frequently contain most of their phosphorus in phytic acid that cannot be digested by humans. The vegans who do not take supplements are prone to osteoporosis.

Most humans cannot produce internally enough creatine, choline and taurine to satisfy their needs, so they also need external sources and plants are not among those.

A healthy vegan diet must include about a dozen supplements, which is not really a problem, because they are cheap and easily available, except for the fact that many vegans believe myths like "the only nutrients I know of that vegans tend to lack are B12 and iron", so they eventually tend to have health problems, which make many of them to give up on the vegan diet, instead of taking the right supplements.

You can 'apt install apl' for GNU APL. Most open-source array languages though either have very few users, and/or are moving quite fast and thus an apt-packaged version would likely be rather out-of-date quite basically always. Though, for example, nix has J, BQN, uiua, GNU APL, and Dyalog APL (based on quick searches), so the barrier to entry to apt also is presumably rather high.
surprisingly it's been deprecated since RFC 2818 was published 24 years ago.

It's only more recently that browsers and other common software stopped validating it though

Use sqlite3 until you actually cannot. It sounds like you're assuming it's bad, but it sounds ideal for your use-case since it is designed to be a fully-local database.
Nice. I'll be watching this.

Buddy and I are currently building an app on Pocketbase and are thoroughly enjoying it. I like your idea of starting from a config file rather than a UI.

Tip: it didn't take us long to need to tap into PB's hooks and "use as a framework" concept. Probably good to keep that front of mind.
And you are probably basing that on the fact that the two standard lipid markers for HDL and LDL went up, right?

And you probably ignored any that the ratio probably improved between "good" and "bad" lipids? I guess you didn't just eat lots of bad fats but also improved the composition of fats you ate?

Lipid research is sponsored by pharma a lot. They need to push their statins.

Anecdotal datum of one: I happen to have high cholesterol no matter what I do. You have to fast in order to do the lipid blood tests. Sometimes I forgot to fast and have even eaten eggs. My lipid profile was better in those cases. I also got muscle cramps from taking statins. The heart is a muscle and those cramps can kill you. Instantly.
> Linux will always lose against others when it comes to liking how it is. UX, UI, "it just works" windows and macs win.

It depends on what you're comfortable with. I've been using a tiling window manager with a config that I have barely changed over the last 3 or 4 years now. I find it very awkward to try to stumble around through the UI of modern Windows or Mac OS. And that's not to mention the absolutely obnoxious notifications on Windows...

It would take me a lot of time and effort to customize these systems to being close to what I'm comfortable with. It would honestly be easier for me to get working comfortably on a FreeBSD box than a Windows box. I might be able to hack something together that I would be comfortable with on Mac OS though.
When you are free to ignore certain parts you open your mind to a world of knowledge and ideas, from every source imaginable.
It's only much better if you care about cache misses, right?

No, not at all. There are cache misses and simplicity, but think about when an 1k image is on the heap. You have to allocate a buffer of pointers for each row then you have do a thousand individual heap allocations to get all your rows.

Now think about an image with rgba channels. Technically this is a 3d image with one short dimension. Are you going to allocate a buffer of a thousand pointers, then off of each one allocate a buffer of a thousand more pointers so that you can ultimately do another 1 million heap allocations, all 16 bytes for each rgba pixel?

There is no upside and all downsides, which is why it is never ultimately done this way, though it is an almost universal mistake when people do multi-dimensional arrays for the first time.
"Fake news" eh?

You obviously haven't watched any of the US senate hearings, nor read any of Matt Taibbi's investigative work - where Elon gave Matt and other journalists access to Twitter's data like email interactions between Twitter employees, the FBI and other government agencies.

I won't bother describing the understanding I've come to on God since you don't seem like a deep person to even investigate thoroughly enough, whatever propaganda bubbles you get your news from - makes you thinks it's "fake news" tells me you're lost.

Maybe if you start developing your self-awareness, and your self-regulation skills, you'll develop the patience to read more, critically think better - and then that would be a good starting point to contemplate the universe and extrapolate from first principles as to how much of a chance that a God exists.

Maybe don't be so confident in your arrogance either; or "lay off it", as you'd say - you're not the super aware person you think you are.

I think you are missing the first half the modern male reproductive lifecycle. What you are saying increasingly applies to 30's onward (when males are looking for long term family relationships) but for the 20 somethings many are looking for these shallow, vacuous women because they often can be convinced into meaningless sex. It's a pretty sad state but it appears to be this way now.

The cuttlefish and the octopi are the real aliens. You might not think they pose much of a threat. But of course, that’s merely because they are intentionally dormant at the moment. Once the AGI is complete, and the spaceships have been built.. it’ll be “so long and thanks for the fish” just like Douglas Adams predicted except he suspected the wrong species.
You also managed to be completely tone deaf to the way that developers feel about open source projects. A gradual branding transition can be swallowed, but what you chose to do instead is immediately force everyone to stop using the old name under threat of legal action. Adding new plugins that are proprietary can be tolerated, but if you're surprised that relicensing previously open source code prompted a fork you apparently weren't paying attention to the enormous kerfuffles surrounding recent relicenses by better-loved companies than yours.
Uproot already returns you Awkward array, so both things you mentioned are different ways of saying the same thing. The irreducible complexity of data analysis is there no matter how you do it, and "one-vector-at-a-time" sometimes feel like shoehorning (other terms people come up with include vector-style mental gymnastics).

For the record, vector-style programming is great when it works, I mean Julia even has a dedicated syntax for broadcasting. I'm saying when the irreducible complexity arrives, you don't want to NOT be able to just write a for-loop

Just a recent example, a double-for loop looks like this in Awkward array: https://github.com/Moelf/UnROOT_RDataFrame_MiniBenchmark/blo... -- the result looks "neat" as in a piece of art.
