The production database that I'm talking about is a Postgres instance that is only available to me in my house for my side projects, it contains random stuff that can be queried through APIs that me and my family use with an app that works only when we are connected to our home LAN. Therefore I'm not paying as much attention when I do stuff with it as I would on a database that thousands of users rely on. Still, it sucks because it took quite some time to bring it back to a working state. Lesson learned

The situation in Europe is worsening rapidly, and it's not just in Greece—it's a trend across several countries. The rise of nationalist parties has increased the influence of corporate lobbies as well.

Migrants frequently bear the brunt of blame in this environment. Additionally, there's a troubling misuse of subsidies and tax breaks, with funds often channelled to companies who exploit them solely to boost their profits, rather than fulfilling their intended benefits.

Certainly, in Belgium, this issue is significant. We allocate billions in tax breaks for research and innovation, yet politicians sometimes appear at technology fairs showcasing outdated VR technology as if it were still groundbreaking in 2014. Now, they are using lag in the development of AI as a way to justify new tax breaks, all the while proposing cuts to social benefits.
Perhaps, but investors are neither fully informed nor fully rational.

People get overexcited about new trends, then everybody jumps on the bandwagon, and good but boring stocks are ignored. Doesn't mean these are weak businesses though.
Fuel cells don't scale well to multiple megawatts when compared with combustion technologies. Hydrogen is tricky to store. Most likely option is ammonia in steam or gas turbines or large slow ICEs; next most likely option is liquid hydrogen in the same engines.

Biofuels is also severely limited in supply and will in the future most likely be reserved for aviation, which is a lot more constrained than shipping etc. when it comes to which fuel options can be retrofitted on existing systems.

A guess: The Big Bang resulted in lots of pieces some of which were black holes, of a wide variety of masses. In particular, the black holes of billions of solar masses weren't formed from collapsing stars and didn't grow to that size by accumulation but were born that size. And for dark matter, that's from many black holes of tiny masses.
It didn't turn out to be anything because they're not being built or ran
Exactly.

Proliferation will always be a risk with nuclear reactors. We will never have nuclear powered civilian ships, as long as there exist pirates out there. Sure, Russia operates nuclear powered ice-breakers, but there are no pirates in the Arctic Ocean, plus, for Russia the distinction between civilian and military is not all that clear.

As for hydrogen, I think ships are the killer app. High pressure tanks or cryogenic tanks benefit from the square-cube law. If you want them to be economical, they need to be really large. They will never make sense for cars, or even trucks, but they can make sense for trains, and certainly for ships.

Abstracting the runtime environment is nice for mixed environments and supporting local development. Maybe some deployments have really low load and Lambda is dirt cheap whereas other instances have sustained load and it's cheaper to be able to swap infrastructure backend.

It doesn't have to be about life support for neglected code.

> I meant the deserve part in the sense that if we're doing copyright, the only thing that makes sense to protect is the work itself

I disagree with this as well. “Works” don’t deserve anything. Stuff comes and goes.

> So practically, if we wanted to prevent copying, we shouldn't allow lending at all.

Who said we wanted to prevent copying?

IMO we want to prevent cmd+c / cmd+v copying or trivial DRM breaking with Calibre or something. If somebody wants to snap photos of each page of a book to “preserve the work” go nuts. But then don’t go sharing the MOBI they make of those pages.

Forced constant folding is something I use on occasion in Zig. To declare that a computation needs to happen at compile-time, just prefix it with `comptime`.

Compile-time execution emulates the target architecture, which has pros and cons. The most notable con is that inline assembly isn't supported (yet?). The complete solution to this particular problem then additionally requires `return if (isComptime()) normal_code() else assembly_magic();` (which has no runtime cost because that branch is constant-folded). Given that inline assembly usually also branches on target architecture, that winds up not adding much complexity -- especially given that you probably had exactly that same code as a fallback for architectures you didn't explicitly handle.

I think "a regular web app" is interactive...

3s would rarely be acceptable, much less 30s. Not that it never happens, but it should be rare enough that the cost of the lambda isn't the main concern. (Or if it's not rare, your focus should be on fixing the issue, not really the cost of the lambdas.)

Anyway, I think you'd typically limit the lambda run time limit to something a lot shorter than 30 sec.
Lambda scales faster if you really do need that. For instance, imagine bursts of 100k requests. Cold start on Lambda is going to be lower than you can autoscale something else.

I literally just opened the wallet app and clicked the little dismiss X in the top right of the Apple Card ad. It disappeared with a little analog TV powering off animation, collapsing down to a scanline then sliding in horizontally to a little dot and disappearing.

Agreed, sqlite is definitely overkill for this kind of task but it's also lightweight and fast, so why not?
Typical words for this include “monopoly/monopsony”, “regulatory capture”, and “necessity goods”. There are others, too, but they generally don’t apply to creative outputs.
I don't even know how to think without words. I thought thinking literally means using words in sequence to problem solve. At least I used to think so. If someone says they are going to think about something I have always thought that they were going to focus on their inner monologue of sequence of words.

Is a country that changes the value of a citizen's vote based on whether they live in a populated area functional? What about a country where the elections are about choosing between two obnoxious candidates who are both over 80 and out of touch with the issues their citizens care about? If the supporters of one geriatric statesman call the supporters of the other Nazis (both directions) - does that count as understanding each other?
Ask HN: How do you reduce your online risk profile?
Looking to minimize privacy concerns in every day life from tech use. I see videos online about users switching to dumb phones and eliminating iOS/Android, using NAS for their on-premise storage or USB drives, using Linux vs Windows/Apple, and essentially reducing the dependency and exposure to 3P companies.

Was curious what others are doing if embarking on this route? My goal for asking is to establish a good baseline for making any changes whether retro tech that is still functional, single use devices, etc.
If the goal ends up being many-many-core, x86's complexity tax may start to matter. The cost of x86 compatibility relative to all the complexities required for performance has been small, but if we end up deciding that memory latency is going to kill us and we can't keep complex cores fed, then that is a vote for simpler architectures.

I suspect the future will be something between these extremes (tons of dumb cores or ever-more-complicated cores to try and squeeze out IPC), though.
C can be memory safe, you just need to not write memory bugs in it. These 18345 heuristics, compiler warnings and macros might help a little.

We’ve had at least one war between nuclear powers off the top of my head. The Kargil war of 1999 between India and Pakistan, I believe both sides had nuclear weapons deployed at the time.

I had a look one time, there are tons of alternatives (in all countries) They all have youtube channels and facebook pages.

Beyond the top of the list they have so few viewers, subscribers, likes and followers that it doesn't account for direct family. It means not even journalists bother to watch a video or read a post let alone read the election program. Usually there is a single news article about a person without much if any coverage of the program.

People love to pretend their circular argument is not a fallacy.

Plenty of people would bother to look at other candidates if they got a lot more attention and a lot more votes. Someone will have to start voting for them before that will happen.

This someone is you.

If you refuse to vote for a candidate that has no chance to win they wont have a chance next time. One extra voice or vote is actually a big deal for them.

The search engines are full of articles about "most significant candidates"

If you look at this list here,

You cant say "It’s not like any of the choices are great."

Correct would be to say: No one in the whole world has any idea what the other choices are.

In the US there is a special kind of war to even get on the ballot.

Quite an odd comment to make in the midst of the Ukraine war, another war between Israel and Palestine, and the ongoing civil wars in Sudan and Burma.
Answered here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40758231

I do dream, but most of the time not with a visual representation. It’s more like reading a book.
There are very few occasions when I wake up and really have the memory of an image. But this fades so fast that I’m not able to really describe the image. I retain the memory of having a picture in my head. And it’s boring most of the time, because it happens in the middle of a dream and it’s basically just the last frame paused.

And about the book: Haha, I never thought of visualizing the images described in a book. To rephrase: it’s like knowing the words from a book, but not how the described image looks like.
This is really what should be named big thing.

Unfortunately, this is huge project, and to do it, you need very clean view on three parameters:

1. Where are you now? How large (in LOCs) your start? Is your project already loose coupled or, it is monolith?
This is important, because it is much easier if you could isolate small parts and rebuild them separate, while all other code old.

2. How should behave end point of project? Monolith or micro-services, or something else?

3. How large budget you have, and how many "man-hours" per month possible?

So to do all these in some predicable time and budget, you need project in waterfall style, but sure, you could use waterfall part as overall strategy, and do all things with agile (trying to stay nearest to waterfall milestones).

In real life I seen such migration, unfortunately unsuccessful from project manager view. First, they tried to made new version on same platform, but project just bloated without much success; second, they decided to change to totally other platform and rewrite all code from scratch (on other language), and this time got success.
I have been using this and I have got to say this is one of the best open source projects at least for me as I need to look up URLs reputation and this is highly helpful in how everything is organized as cards. One screen to get all the helpful information you need. I'm looking forward to the API version and if I could use this as a replacement for VT. I did notice one thing sometimes when you lookup a URL you don't get back any response and when you check network activity tab on a browser you see the requests are getting rejected

Not sure how to take it.

Anyway, I feel shit but I fucking want to go there, I love it, I've probably made wrong choices and Its ok. I'll need a bit more of time I guess, but I'll get there, I'll not give up my dream.

Thank you for you response!
Not too interested into diving into the debate itself, but one minor point I wanted to add to the article where they count the commits to squash and then do `git rebase -i HEAD~n` is that you can replace this strategy with using the branch you're targeting. So if you're working on a feature branch to merge into `main` you can update the local main branch first, then punch in `git rebase -i main` and it'll handle finding all the commits for you.

I'm sure there's even more clever ways to do this, as it always seems like there's more when it comes to git. This is just the most intuitive way I've seen so far, and so it sticks in my mind.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

We gotta remember what a lot of the Marine world really looks like, under the covers.

That is, lots of them will use HFO aka Residual Fuel oil or 'bunker fuel'.

Switching to Biodiesel? Probably the 'cheapest' of the options, not sure what if any implications exist from the switch (lots of ships will stop burning HFO in ports and switch to more common diesel/etc, however not sure if there is a difference in some engines with doing so long term)

Hydrogen Fuel cells are likely as much of a 'refit' from a labor standpoint as switching over to a nuclear reactor; Also the general issues of hydrogen embrittelment and the like have not yet been solved AFAIK especially for the volumes needed for large ships, also not sure if there have been a lot of studies as to whether the hydrogen embrittlement problem could lead to larger structural integrity issues on such a vessel.

Nuclear, OTOH, has had at least a few 'non-military' ships (mostly nuclear icebreakers) with good success.

The current 'whitewashing' strategy of cruise lines is LNG, for whatever -that- is worth...

Since you shouldn't publish commits that weren't tested, this suggests you should publish only one commit at a time.

This characterization is pretty misleading. For example, the Google Maps that was acquired was a C++ desktop application. What most people think of as Google Maps (the AJAX web app) was built and launched by Google.

Checking two websites/domains I'm responsible for, this information is really confusing or just plain wrong. The "DNS Records" card for MX is not the IP addresses of the actual MX records (nor am I sure why it would be -- why wouldn't the MX records be shown here?). "DNS Server" is the addresses of the webservers, not the DNS servers for the domain from whois or from the SOA record. It can show certificate information, but not the cipher suites? Traceroute fails because traceroute isn't available/isn't in path (the error shown is "/bin/sh: line 1: traceroute: command not found"). Firewall seems to be looking specifically for a web-application-firewall, but "firewall" is a somewhat generic term that includes a number of different technologies. Email configuration is wrong, probably because a website is not the same as a domain -- I don't have SPF or DKIM records for the www subdomain, because that's not where we send email from. The "Redirects" card says it followed one redirect, but there is no redirect on the address I provided.

Does this come down to trying to stuff a bunch of stuff for domains into a presentation and information gathering method for websites?

For cases where it can not be determined, it would be best to say "can not be determined" rather than "No", because the last thing anyone needs is some PHB giving people grief because, for example, the WAF in use doesn't expose itself to this detector.
No, like images it's just the concept of the sound. As I can identify images (also people or faces), I can identify sounds, but I can't imagine them.

Instead of a picture of a forest and some cracking of wood, I just have these words in my head and not the real picture/sound.

Same for every other sense.

I hate when a cute little piece of jargon like "malicious compliance" becomes a fad, because it just does not accurately describe what Apple is doing. It's not any kind of compliance.

Apple's strategy is pseudo-compliance, where they adopt the appearance of compliance while deliberately choosing not to do what their European lawyers must have clearly explained they are obligated to do.
Insane factoid (post from Feb 27, 2022) ... this was funded by a Chinese gaming company and built in 2 years for relative pennies??:

MiHoYo, the developer of Genshin Impact, has led a $65m funding round in Shanghai based Energy Singularity which is a company involved in nuclear fusion technology, tokamak devices and operational control systems.

The company plans to build its own Tokamak device by 2024.

For general power delivery to the grid I think renewables make a whole lot of sense. But for specialty industrial processes that require very large levels of constant power, I think nuclear fusion is very interesting. I worry about environmental effects of mass industrialization but at the same time, I wonder what we could achieve if we had 100x more power available for this or that industrial process. Would it be helpful in decarbonizing steel refining or other metallurgical work?

I think if we develop the technology we will find a use for it and be grateful that we have it, even if it’s hard to predict today what those uses will be.
As a lay person, it seems like trains are pretty much always suited to electricity. Adding a power line alongside the existing right of way seems like it’s a pretty straightforward option. What are the conditions in which on-board power storage is preferable?

I'm kinda curious if CRT technology advanced to the point where a TV like that would've been possible at a better weight and price tag? I assume that CRT technology development stopped decades ago, but could we have e.g., replaced the heavy glass with some plastic-like material to save weight without compromising the picture? And are there any heavy components in the mechanism itself (Coils, Magnets?) that would have had alternatives?

I know it's just theorycrafting, but I do wonder what kind of CRT someone could've created if it wasn't for market economy forces.
what modern sail
I really like rooftop solar, as an idea. It might not be the cheapest way to generate electricity, but it's good to know you aren't as dependent on the grid. It's like having your own vegetable garden.

Hopefully, with advances in battery technology, homes can become completely independent of the grid.
