SQLpage is very interesting. I’d had some recent thoughts on the idea but was only thinking around sql queries + handlebars templates.

Looks like you’ve already done that plus pushed the SQL idea much further. I’ll def have to check this out when I get some time.
Wait, when did Google Takeout start supporting a) backing up to other cloud providers and b) backing up on a regular basis?

Last I used it, probably a year ago, those options were not there. I'm 99% sure. And I can find lots of forum posts over the past decade complaining that Takeout doesn't support uploading to other cloud providers, and that it doesn't support any kind of automation.

When did Google add this?
The term "bikeshedding" comes up a lot on HN, when people spend a lot of time spinning wheels in endless debates about the things that are easy to debate while indefinitely deferring the tough conversations, but I think an underappreciated aspect of this meme is that the unimportant conversations quite frequently really are just that; unimportant, to everybody involved. Often (but not always) nobody actually cares. Caring is not necessarily represented by the amount of time or text spewed forth on a topic. A lot of things other than passion or importance factor into how much verbiage comes through and it is a mistake to overinterpret mere volume.

Unfortunately, the flip side of this coin is harder to deal with; sometimes truly important issues or things that people do deeply care about have disproportionately too little verbiage. Finding those can be very difficult.
I think Takeout is a heroic effort, but it's pretty clear most of these datasets would be much more useful in "streaming" form, like you would use for a database migration. For instance, you almost always would want to trial a new service for a few months before "moving" to it entirely, and you might run two things like this in parallel for a long time.

If you want to download a snapshot every so often, you should be able to give it a token representing the last timestamp, and have it give you all the things that have been added since then - most datastores can do this. Then, if the service supports it, it should also indicate changes to old data (including deletes) - but this requires some additional state so it probably wouldn't work for every case.
This was the turning point for me as well. Decided I'd use my own hardware for primary copies.
First, do no harm.

actually, it's interesting that not only does the oath not say that, but that doctors take all kinds of different oaths. They differ in all sorts of respects, and keep getting revised (like privacy policies).

Google is making me increasingly nervous about trusting them with data. eg the GCP source repo product I was using for personal source is getting canned

Probably won’t get rid of Google entirely but definitely need to do something to derisk this.
At lest it lets you talk about things with people who also have the knowledge.

When my mum was in medical school (1950s) they still used Latin (teaching was otherwise in English). It wasn’t one of the languages she spoke, but she just memorized the tokens and then could go back home and work in a hospital because all the technical terms were the same.

I did learn Latin and so used to be amused by the names of things. Unfortunately she was quite busy and never shared my amusement. A shame as she otherwise had a good sense of humor.
I use the mini-pc for running security NVR, git servers, self hosted NextCloud, local hosted LLM models, and backup servers.

After my branded security camera NVR died for the N times and the company went out of business, I got fed up and decided to run my own NVR. I got a powered switch to provide power and network connection to all the cameras via POE. Connected a mini-pc to the switch and ran Blue Iris on it to stream from all the cameras. Attached an external harddisk enclosure to use some old harddisks for storage. This ensures every piece of the system can be replaced and upgraded separately.
If they can keep the narrative, like Elon has kept the Tesla narrative, they'll have made so much money that it doesn't matter if it is sustainable or not.
I’m asking out of genuine curiosity - what are the reasons you’d want that, other than a fun project? There’s so much hardware integration in the stack of a modern Mac that it would feel a little hard for me to even say a hackintosh was a Mac.

Anyways, curious what you have in mind.
I might be reading a different version of the article than you did, but the article agrees with you - URIs are a superset of URNs and URLs. I didn't see where the author says there are no URIs which are URNs - the article specifically says 'a URN is a type of URI with the scheme "urn"'
Haven't seen this in a while;

Nonsense. Starlark is hardly a general-purpose programming language. Its whole point is to combine the advantages of something like shell or lua (familiar programming-language-like syntax, easy to reuse common values) with the advantages of something like YAML (safe, inert). That's exactly what real progress looks like.
Yeah, Roger is awesome. I bought a linnstrument recently, and he went to great effort to ensure some complicated shipping went flawlessly.

An anecdote is not evidence, neither is the failure of you and your friends to research people in the primary evidence of a grand conspiracy. Complaining about Biden specifically in an incumbent year really feels like a bad faith argument.
I'm not running 4's or 5's. I'm running 2's and 3's. And they're mostly idle; DNS, DHCP, and Consul are all extremely lightweight. No video, wifi, or anything else; just ethernet and an SD card.

No sense in running anything more powerful than that. Having the latest and greatest -- and top-tier performance -- isn't always necessary.

And I still consider to be a credit card sized server to be tiny. Though watch-sized machines do take the cake there...
I always liked Pascal's BEGIN and END statements instead of curly braces. There is also Basic where the blocks built into control flow statements, like FOR I=1 TO 5 [code here] NEXT I

I'd argue a lot of programming language evolution is influenced by the capabilities of our IDEs. When you code in a text editor, the terse syntax of C is great and brings advantages over the verbosity of Pascal, Basic or god forbid Cobol. Once your editor does auto-indentation the braces seem redundant and you get Python. Smart completions from IntelliSense are essential to efficiently writing C#, and now that LSP has brought that to every IDE or smart text editor we have the explosion of popularity of more explicit and more powerful type systems (Typescript, typed Python, Rust). Programming languages are shaped by their environment, but the successful ones far outlive the environment that shaped them.
Or there's the opposite choice of using PHP as a C preprocessors. Not sure which is more frightening.
You are inventing your own definition for a term that is widely understood and clearly and unambiguously defined in sources that you yourself cited. Since you can't engage honestly with your own sources I see no value in continuing this conversation.
One of the best TED talks ever given, by VS Ramachandran - a video describing some of the fundamental mechanisms of the brain. This video was the first time I heard Bouba and Kiki, but there's so much more going on in this talk. It's wonderful.
Yawn. I did. With the two ones YOU said they wouldn't load because of certificate error. And really didn't been in the mood to dig deeper into the shit I've not exactly lost interest in, but don't cherish to return to dig deeper. Also having not bookmarked them at the times when I did.

That would require finding and going back to sites of retired veterans from involved airbases at the times of cold war, where they sort of 'blog' about this, and honor the fallen where some plane didn't make it back, for various reasons, bad weather, mechanical failure, not being shot down.

But with very detailed, meanwhile declassified mission profiles. I think I may even have learned about some of those sites from comments here on HN. (not sure anymore), too lazy too seek.

This went on and on through the whole of cold war. Btw. what do you think have those U2 and SR-71 planes been doing? Maybe the russkies seeing that still as payback?

Whatever, that old crap wasn't even what I've been referring to, only meant about the last two decades. I'm not making this up. But still, not going to (re-)search that again. See it as PTSD...(not sorry)
The part about emission of light from a plane is basically correct. It’s really about oxidation producing energy, and that energy pushing electrons well out of their orbitals, and then the thermalization of electrons resulting in transmission of electromagnetic radiation in the visible and infrared spectrum.

Ultimately, programming languages are tools, and different tools are appropriate for different jobs.

There's nothing stopping you from writing a massively-scaling e-commerce site in Verilog and running it on an FPGA, but it - uh - probably isn't the soundest course of action.
oh, it's quite common for different people to have different tvs on at the same time in different rooms of the same house, when previously they would have watched the same one. or for a tv to be left on displaying a screen saver. a backlit lcd uses the same amount of power whether it's showing black, blue, a static desktop, random noise, or video

i've seen many more tvs in public places in recent decades, often replacing things like flip-dot displays or printed menuboards. mcdonalds now displays their menus on a wall of tvs instead of printed on plastic, for example

The Prisoner's Dilemma Is Wrong: A Case for Cooperation
"The man who is cheerful and merry has always a good reason for being so,—the fact, namely, that he is so." The Wisdom of Life, Schopenhauer (1851)

Descriptions of the Prisoner's Dilemma typically suggest that the optimal policy for each prisoner is to selfishly defect instead of to cooperate. I disagree with the traditional analysis and present a case for cooperation.

Hans Oster – leading figure of the anti-Nazi German resistance from 1938 to 1943
From a consumer (developer consumer) point of view, I hear you.

From a project point of view, there are some pretty strong contra-indicators in the last 20 years of language development that make this plan suspect, or at least pretty scary — both Perl and Python had extremely rocky transitions around major versions; Perl’s ultimately failing and Python’s ultimately taking like 10 years. At least. I think the last time I needed Python 2 for something was a few months ago, and before that it had been a year or so. I’ve never needed Perl 6, but if I did I would be forced to read a lot of history while I downloaded and figured out which, if any, Perl 5 modules I’m looking for got ported.

I’d imagine the numpy devs probably don’t have the resources to support what would certainly become two competing forks that each have communities with their own needs.
This is because everyone is training with synchronous sgd. all gpus need to synchronize on each gradient step so tail latency will kill you.

Seems like a bad idea, given that the CPP and HTML have a fair number of overlapping tokens (e.g. `#` for both URL fragments and macro beginnings).

Why not use SSI[1]? It's inspired by the CPP's syntax, but is supported directly by most HTTP servers (and is more powerful, to boot).

Does anyone really believe it's possible for regular enterprises and government agencies to improve computer security to the extent that it's impossible to be attacked? Event CISA was owned due to one of the many Ivanti bugs[0]

The only real way to resolve this problem is to for critical services to stop relying on networked computers for their functions or to have a mandated and audited business continuity plan that is routinely practiced for when the computers inevitably stop working either due to an attack or just routine failures.

I don't trust any cloud provider. You have zero recourse if they change strategy, change policy, or simply fuck up. You are inconsequentially tiny in the scope of their universe, they just simply don't have to care.
My last five or so takeout runs just failed with no reasoning why. When I try to save to google drive it just fills up the 2TB storage allocation I have without ever making actual files, or worse, making dozens of oddly names files of incorrect sizes.

I filed like five support requests and never got any actual replies.

My next step is going to be moving off google for most things, but amespecially for photo storage (80% of my usage) which I was relying on google takeout for a backup solution.

As a former Googler i have pretty much given up on google being useful these days. :-/

Let's Try BSD, Part 1 of 7: Introduction
I was considering doing something like this just the other day. It had a gnuplot script and it seemed to me that it would be so much more versatile if I could use #ifdefine and #include in it.

I ended up using a Perl preprocessor, but it seems like cpp would work ok-ish for certain use cases that don’t require, say, strict tabs like Python among a few other things mentioned on the cpp manual.
Maybe 'it' (whatever 'it' is) doesn't want to be replicated by the unworthy doubters? And has the means to make sure of that? :-)

Unfortunately the AC-130 and A-10 aren't survivable against any sort of serious aid defense system. They won't be flying over you if they get shot down by a SAM on the way there. This is the main reason the JSF program was started in 1993 and the problem has only become more severe since then.

The author described the frustration of drafting and publishing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartland_(Smarsh_book) against concerns about notability.

Fairly sure the heat is just a byproduct of the phased array antenna no?
The big problem with 90s/early 2000s Linux was drivers. Which is still a problem with 2020s Linux, but significantly less of a problem than it once was. However, if a hardware manufacturer wanted to support Linux, they could develop/test the required drivers, and install them preconfigured. The real issue was they didn’t perceive there being sufficient market demand to make it worth their while investing in that

It has gotten better-I remember having to muck around with modelines in X11 (not sure if this was 1990s or early 2000s-you get to a certain age and the decades start to blend together in your memory)-but who has to do that nowadays? Still, a HW manufacturer preinstalling Linux could have done that for you
Takeout is not really a great solution for backup, since it's not incremental. You're going to be wasting a looooot of space.

I use dedicated tools for backing up my most important Google data -- rclone for my Drive, and gmvault for my Gmail. And I'd use gphotos-sync if I used Google Photos (but I don't). And around once a year I use Takeout for the rest -- stuff like Calendar, Contacts, etc.

Takeout doesn't really fit the author's use case. It's intended for migrating your data to another service, not for regular backup.
>Claude is fully capable of acting as a Supreme Court Justice right now.

I didn't read the whole article, but I don't believe this could be true. If it is true there would be an enormous market for it to act as a mediator in any payment dispute and then decide whether to reverse a transaction. (Each side could offer whatever arguments and evidence it wanted.)

This would solve the huge problem with crypto currencies that there is no repudiation for fraudulent transactions (they can't be reversed if they turn out to be fraudulent.) But an AI can't actually do this and back up a currency with a dispute process around it, that's why it isn't being done.

Here I roleplay a dispute between a merchant and a buyer:

https://chatgpt.com/share/6a420d3f-9469-4234-8283-6daf18e90b...

As you can see, it finds in favor of the person who wants to reverse the charge, but this means the buyer can just rip off any business, get anything they want for free and literally never pay for anything by just reversing every transaction. What the AI judge should have done is look at the total amount of business that the business does and whether it has any other disputes, because if the total amount of business is high without any disputes then it is a legitimate business, but if everyone is disputing it or it tried to inflate its ratings with a bunch of low-value items and then shipped rocks instead of a high-value item then it is a scam merchant. Besides this, changes of ownership also matter (a scam merchant who will ship rocks can buy an existing long-standing merchant for their credibility).

Overall, a blanket reversal without looking at the merchant to verify that it is fraudulent is not really good adjudication in my opinion and if the AI were judging all these cases then consumers could just defraud every business and no business would use that form of payment and dispute process since consumers would abuse it to get everything for free.

This shows that AI really isn't ready to adjudicate real cases, and this case is far simpler than cases that make it to the Supreme Court.

This. Many arguments ignore this implication or commit other logical fallacies.

Etherdata.io | Cleveland, OH | REMOTE | Full-time

Senior Software Engineer (Elixir)

Etherdata is looking for a talented senior software engineer with a minimum of 4 years of experience in Elixir. Phoenix, LiveView, TypeScript, and Kubernetes are our main stack, so familiarity with these is also required. Rust is a plus.

We are a small team, currently consisting of only one developer. This position is for someone who will work closely with the team and be responsible for defining various implementation aspects of the system.

We provide business intelligence for the agro-industry, and with a recent rapid growth, many things are changing and/or are still in their early days. So there will be a fair share of architecting and DevOps (mainly Kubernetes) involved.

Get in touch: theo at etherdata dot io
Yes, that's why I love gofmt. There's nothing to debate!
One thing Google isn’t the best at is retaining metadata in the photo files for Google photos. Takeouts will just throw up a JSON with the meta data rather than put it in the exif portion. I’ve definitely found that Apple photos and iCloud retain this information much more consistently than googles takeout.
would you do it, why or why not?

Right now, now way. I would not permit a chat bot to tell me what to do, certainly not one that suggests glue on pizzas and all the other nutty low quality entropy garbage it has absorbed from the internet. There is no sign of intelligence in these bots, they just sort and summarize. At best this would be a way for human managers to take the "human" out of managing people, something hands-off managers may enjoy. They would not have to look a human in they eyes to fire them. It would be the least human experience a human could possibly have.

When would I consider your offer? When androids meet or exceed the sentience, intelligence and critical thinking of the fictional Commander Data then I would not hesitate for a microsecond to work with or for them. [1] What I am saying is that any discussion of this would remain in the realm of fantasy and science fiction for me, likely for several hundred or several thousand years.

Yeah, mid-1980s the thing incoming students had to unlearn was BASIC, not anything with curly braces. (Source: I was a 6.001 Lab TA at the time.) Of course, the next class on the rotation used Clu, where you had to unlearn "recursion is free".
