Absolutely agree.

I don't know how you can successfully maintain or develop software without developing an understanding of the underlying domain. I've seen devs try that route and the quality of their work has never been high.

This is extremely cool! I think the next step is to put both sides of the table under robotic control and have an online competition for the best foosball-playing AI. I would tune in every week to see different AIs duke it out.

Don't get married and don't have kids. Yes, there may be emotional benefits etc, but financially it's a bad move. Even if you want kids, you're often better off living together but staying unmarried from a financial perspective in most cases. Some tax provisions are easier to claim independently rhan as a couple, and you can shift around who claims the kids based on who would benefit most from the tax breaks. If you don't get married, you're more likely to be equal partners financially and you carry no risk of alimony.
Yea, that's what it has devolved into. At least Catholicism can protect its brand against crazy stuff like that. The agile guys should have done something like that from the start... if they had known what was coming.
> But if I'm thinking of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_of_need and you're thinking of the ACA cap on insurance profits (Medical Loss Ratio https://content.naic.org/cipr-topics/medical-loss-ratio#:~:t...), then we didn't actually agree on anything, did we?

I mean, you agreed on something, which is the bloat of a system, you just disagree on the "how to fix it" part.

If I said "We need a crane that can lift 3000lbs" and you agree, and you come up with a design that uses an electric motor system, and I come up with a design that uses a diesel engine, we still agreed on something, just not the implementation of how to do it.

I realize it's not a perfect analogy, but if you and I could agree on some bad consequence of "too many regulations" (e.g. the prices of healthcare are too high as a result of the regulations), that is some common ground. The question then comes down "which regulations would be best to cut to lower costs?" and reduces to an optimization problem.
The ones I’ve used (mainly Microsoft sql server) are not just bad, they’re abysmally bad for any query that’s not extremely trivial. Writing every query with explicit joins is a necessity almost 100% of the time. Maybe you’ve just never tried to do anything tricky with large tables with a lot of data? Query optimizers almost always resort to nested table scans as soon as you do anything even slightly complex.
Hey there, thank you for this update. It's your analysis, so you're free to mention Ubicloud as you'd like.

Still, you updated the above statement to, "Be aware that Ubicloud has a slightly lower CPU speed and somewhat variable queue times for x64 (but improving)."

Could you clarify what you meant by variable queue times?

According to the benchmarks, Ubicloud queue times for x64 were 18|44 secs at p50|p95 over the past month. I agree that our p95 number is higher. At the same time, RunsOn's AWS numbers are 31|36 secs. So I feel that driving a conclusion based on our p95 variance number for x64 is a bit unfair to Ubicloud.

Thank you for compiling this benchmark btw. Now, we'll follow it closely.
One of the issues that we have in the US is that there are (almost) no consequences for lying and hate speech. Politicians can (and do) make provably false statements with no consequence.

I don't believe "free speech" is a license to outright lie; so I pay attention to topics like this because I think it's very important to figure out how to control outright lies and manipulation in popular media.

And, a little closer to home, a few years back a person very close to me started reposting hate speech on Facebook. (It targeted a religious group, and was very reminiscent of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda.) I don't know of a good way (in the US) to address that kind of hate speech, so it's really interesting to see how other countries try to reign it in.

Personally I try to finish a feature, but leave QA for the morning. This way my first task is “copy and paste this command into terminal” or “use X feature in the app.” Because there’s always something that needs tweaking before it’s really done, this naturally pulls me into flow the next day. It’s a great trick!

> you need to do an adhoc query to look something up so you have to type in the key in a where clause

Having a surrogate key here doesn’t help. A WHERE predicate can be rewritten as an INNER JOIN quite easily. Or you could use a subquery, or a CTE. Many options.

The other problems discussed are an engineering culture problem. Either you value correctness and consistency or you don’t.

This was never about native games. It would be very convenient if Proton didn't exist and native games were the only playable option, but in many cases Proton titles run better than native Windows. It's an equivalent, if not superior, experience.

It would be a lot more disingenuous if the Steam Deck didn't exist and Linux gaming was a farce. But... it's not. And the only thing stopping Apple from enjoying the same spoils is a little bit of humility.
You seem to have my point backwards. It's not that SQL is substantially better than QUEL, it's that QUEL was not substantially better than SQL. Ultimately, what made Postgres interesting wasn't the query language.

> a different query language could have prevented a whole lot of real bugs too. SQL also has its fair share of security problems that are only prevented by telling developers to be careful.

I can't think of an example where one of these newer query languages actually solve bugs in the way that Rust does with the borrow checker. Slightly better syntax may prevent bugs but no where near in the same way. I don't find SQL particularly bug-inducing -- it's mostly just annoying.
Its cool. thanks for sharing!

So the logic is something like this:

The Story of Vasa
This seems reasonable, but it runs into a little problem. If you engage in political discussion anywhere on the internet, the first thing you'll find is that people, if they have formed an opinion, have exactly 0 interest in changing their mind. If you already hold a genuine and internally formed view on e.g. the Israel - Palestine conflict, then even if somebody sat you (or me) in front of 24/7 propaganda for the other side, they'd be unlikely to ever change either of our minds.

Propaganda only seems to work in two situations. The first is on topics people know nothing about. Each time the US invades some places most people couldn't even find on a map, support for it rises in accordance with the propaganda. But as people learn more, and gradually form their own values, that support tends to rapidly decline. And there are also long-term consequences, because people will remember being lied to. My views on the US war machine and geopolitics in general seem unlikely, at this point, to ever change. And they were largely formed due to the Iraq War. Irrefutable [1] and Undeniable [2] are two 21 year old articles I still go back to on occasion.

The other situation is when it's true. During the Cold War we spread endless propaganda about things like having stocked store shelves. This is doubly effective in the same way that lying propaganda is doubly ineffective. Because not only does it create a desired perception, but once people gradually find out it's really true, it also tends to turn them against their own government who invariably misrepresents such situations. Again, people don't like being lied to.

Which is literally what /var/tmp is and what the parent is advocating for.

However, clearing /tmp at boot is not the greatest technical choice. There's nothing really special about rebooting the system. The idea that files in /tmp are kept around for anywhere between minutes, hours, and days makes for bad policy which systemd-tmpfiles fixes quite elegantly. You shouldn't lose your temp file after 30 seconds because your machine lost power. You should be able to say "files created here are cleared after $short_time of inactivity."

I find it quite concerning just how much propaganda the US seems to get from Israel. Where I live there are big billboards around, I regularly see ads on YouTube.

I know propaganda is a thing, but it feels like we are getting more about a foreign government than our own.

I feel like before what is going on now I was aware of some of the groups responsible for this being a thing, but was not fully aware just how much money there was in it those organizations until recently.

Some of the practices are concerning, like I found out recently apparently the Boston police regularly go over to Israel for training?

Regardless of what is going on right now, I don't understand how this much power over the US was ever deemed acceptable?
Yes, seriously.

Some examples: An individual without training cannot reliably separate cause from effect, or judge that both events A and B may have a common root cause. Similarly, people often confuse conditionals for causation. People often have difficulty reasoning about events based on statistical probabilities. Remember, the average person in North America is far more terrified of a terror attack than an accident or a heart attack, yet the latter two are much more likely to be their cause of death.
For the last four months we have been experimenting a lot with LLM models in an attempt to simplify the creation of reasoning chains without using an auxiliary programming language. The idea comes from the control unit in classical processors. We see LLM as a more complex ALU, but the models lack a unit that can perform more complex sequences of prompts, including loops. In psychoanalysis there is a concept of the central executive system, which is somewhat similar to the control unit in CPUs.

Show HN: Airteams – marketplace for vetted overseas talent
When I bootstrapped my first startup, we had very little money to spend on hiring employees - so we ended up hiring a lot of remote talent in the Philippines (saved us approx. 60-70% in salaries).

I was pretty blown away by how high quality the people were. So I built my newest venture in this space.

For some reason, large corporates have been using overseas talent for decades, but SMBs and startups are still not in the know.

With airteams, I want to make it easy to find and hire pre-vetted remote talent from overseas.
Every base-32 style encoding is Crockford at the core. The difference is in the alphabet, and also whether it requires padding or not (safe32 does not).

Crockford also incorporates error correction, which is unnecessary in modern systems since the underlying protocols do that already.

SSN is absolutely not a surrogate key. If you received a piece of information from an external source, it is data, not a surrogate key.

If you use data as a key, then that is a natural key, if you invent a value to use as an identifier, that is an artificial or surrogate key.

If an API provides you an ID for a record, that is data. If you use it as a key, that is also a natural key in your system.
> Lee’s research team “stumbled” on the discovery after investigating a “gene desert”, a stretch of DNA on chromosome 21 that does not code for proteins, which has previously been linked to IBD and other autoimmune diseases.

This “enhancer” was seen only in immune cells called macrophages where it boosted a gene called ETS2 and ramped up the risk of IBD.

Rates today shouldn't be a big deal. The bigger deal related to rates is the constrained supply from people not wanting to lose their current rate. The current rates are close to historical averages, and you can refinance if they go down. Just don't get a big house or adjustable rate assuming it will go down.

1) If it is where you lived they always could be (and were) kicked out quickly (and it was not that simple in other situations)

2) Now the law changed and it is much easier and faster to kick them out. It was always illegal to squat, now sanction are higher

3) Most squatters are not targeting houses. And all the time squats are mainly building not used for years (as it safer and easier for squatters, and sometimes as a way to "minimize" disturbances)

Please note that in Holland some kind of squat were legals for years (only for building not used for years and with obligation to not damage the property and to give it back quickly). Seems interesting to me

But you’ve got a point, it’s probably fairer to say that the ACA and the Dutch and Swiss systems are all modeled on common ideas regarding managed competition: https://jacobin.com/2016/02/gaffney-single-payer-sanders-hea... (“The 2006 Dutch reforms were based in part on a school of health policy thought associated with the US economist Alain Enthoven, a man who got his start analyzing military strategy for the Pentagon before becoming the foremost proponent of competing private-sector health plans (so-called ‘managed competition’). Outside the Netherlands, Enthoven’s ideas have influenced health reform efforts in both his home country — first under Bill Clinton, then President Obama.”)

Isn't the main point of tests to be poison pills for people writing compilers so they can ensure any shaders passed to the compiler don't break it? I.e. it's not that the specific code is useful as is in practice but if a chunk of a shader ends up functionally simplifying to something like this in a particular instance your shader compiler still needs to handle it right even though it could be written better at that point.
And I've been bitten by this design numerous times. The most common bug: literally the birthday paradox, i.e. "these two people have been assigned the same number, and now we need to distinguish them in our database".
I think the first point is fair enough, but I take issue with:

> we just so happen to have the majority of military manufacturing located in said states because defense contractors spent decades relocating for that sweet savings on taxes.

Most of the financing for these companies is funded by the US military. I doubt Texas (or Texas and the few surrounding states that also left) would be able to maintain the nearly infinite military budget that the fed has, and the military manufacturers would move to a Union state as soon as possible. I guess the physical factories would still be there, but there's a lot more to manufacturing than just the factories.

Yes and no.

It's probably more accurate to say "human ratable". They're planning on designing the rocket with human rating in mind, so that if they want to do it in the future, it'll be easier.

But NASA doesn't human rate a rocket - they human rate the entire system as a whole, so it doesn't really make sense to say "human rate Neutron".
