> All of these clients want to have ballpark numbers of how many people visited the site.

You don't need cookies for that.

Again, as I've said before, you can for instance log data for technical reasons, e.g. wanting to post-mortem a failure or attack, as long as the data is deleted promptly as a matter of course. You shouldn't use the PII in that log for analysis without the user's consent (so for a log file, that means you probably should never use the IP address except for endpoints that are only accessible to logged in users), but the URL they accessed isn't PII (unless you start putting identifying tokens in it).

If you just want ballpark numbers, just extract the URL field only, and count how many times each appears. Obviously, this will give you metrics on how popular each page / asset is, not how many unique users you have. To do that, you have to identify unique users, and to do that you need to have their consent.

> We just dont want annoying consent because of visitor counter.

But the law requires you to get their consent.

> The ones hiding something are the ones with tricky psycho designed multi step consent banners.

To be fair, I agree with you. They are deliberately designed to be awful in the hopes that the user will just take the least path of resistance and accept their terms. However, it is still a choice. In the cases when I see such a consent form, I either just close the window or I re-open it in incognito mode so I won't get a persistent cookie if it's something I really want to read.

The point is that the regulatory line needs to be drawn somewhere. The law at the moment says the line is: If PII is required for your site to function, then must ensure the user knows you're doing it. If PII isn't strictly required for your site to function, but it provides a benefit to your company (usually re-framed as how to ultimately helps the customer), then you must request consent. Both of these cases are covered by the usual kind of popup, but that's why you'll see some that you can disable (like sharing data with partners) and some you can't (like cookies for logging in). But you still need consent.

> We just dont want to be in same bunch just because few basic stats.

Then just collect basic stats like how many hits each page got. That's fine, you don't need cookies or PII for that. Number of active users isn't a basic stat though, as it clearly requires you to distinguish between different users and any process you use to do that creates PII.

Perhaps you should consider just explaining why you want the cookie in your popup. If you word it in such a way that explains that you're only using daily active users as a metric to justify continued funding, you'll probably find most people are totally happy to click accept. A message plus simple ACCEPT / DECLINE is fine, as long as the message makes clear what you're doing. Note that you can set an "essential cookie" in response to them clicking DECLINE as long as you've explained that the website uses essential and non-essential cookies, but obviously it shouldn't contain anything other than a simple accept/decline result.
Tech giant Samsung workers to strike indefinitely
Things like CD's with their large number of partly-compatible extensions shoehorned in remind me that whenever one is writing a specification, one should make sure that every combination of bits/bytes is either valid with defined behaviour, or invalid.

The one exception is a field for "extensions", which should have some bits for 'compatible' extensions (ie. there will be extra data ignored by readers which don't understand them), and other bits for 'incompatible' extensions (ie. you have put a DVD into a CD player).
Nah I've seen this happen IRL. In this system "configuration" was read out of tables in a word document, processed via XSLT transformations and eventually it would spit out a huuuuge single C# document (recent "improvement", before that it was some obscure licenced language). Builds happened overnight because they took so long, and there was no way to test something locally.

The "advantage" of this system was that there was no need for programmers, as there was "no code", just configuration!. This was supposed to allowed "domain experts" without programming knowledge to work with the system. However a month long training by the creator of the system was still required, as he had to explain which of the 7 boolean types you should use if you wanted to add a new column 0.o (for those who want to know, there was true/false, 0/1, yes/no, true/false/unknown, true/false rendered as a toggle, true/false rendered as a checkbox...)

Hey, that's a great idea! I'm curious about how the reminder system works. Does it send an email reminder? If so, that's really useful. Have you considered implementing integration with Google Calendar as well? That could be a fantastic additional feature if it's not already part of the system.

Sure. See the rest of the article. Everyone else has been saying the same for a decade.

first paragraph on home page is really funny and alluring : "... How often has your train been delayed because of "signal failure" and you've wondered why trains can't be routed around the problem - or why it is even a problem in the first place? You'll soon see exactly why - with SimSig!"

really resonates with my experience as a commuter
I don't find it surprising. The orbital launch industry is small, but it requires large risky long-term investments. Until a few years ago, SpaceX revenues were relatively flat at ~$2 billion/year. There has been significant growth since then, but more from Starlink than from external customers.

If you're interested in money, there are better investment opportunities around. And if your angle is national security, the ~€500 million/year needed for a program such as Ariane 6 is little more than a rounding error.

I think this is a rather radical approach. You're undermining the OSS movement because you dislike Microsoft (I do too). I think adding a clause or dual licensing your work is more effective at stopping big-tech funded AI crawlers than just not adhering to open source.

You can host your code on sourcehut or Codeberg (Forgejo), you don't NEED to host it on a Microsoft owned platform.

No it's not. It's annoying, not hazardous.

You DON'T break speed limits because the guy behind you wants to break speed limits. That's a terrible reason to break a speed limit.

And if you're the guy breaking speed limit and pressuring the drivers in front of you to do the same, you're actually the hazardous one.
> But in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter: Europe needs to be able to put its own military satellites (or anything else critical) up there. Military satellites sold to third party countries also won't launch themselves...

I'm very surprised the EU and the USA and SpaceX didn't work out a deal to buy a certain number of F9's to be launched and operated from the EU. The EU would pay a (vey high) price to buy outright the rockets, and would agree not to develop a competing rocket design in the next 20 yrs.
Beach safety is no joke. Everyone should check the local beach condition forecast before going in (or near!) the water, and everyone, even the little kids should learn about beach safety and should learn to swim.

In the Bay Area (and the West Coast of North America in general), people should be aware of the existence and hazards of sneaker waves as well as the general hazards of large sections of beautiful coastline. The Bay Area and, especially, areas near and north of the Golden Gate, have some infamously dangerous beaches that look inviting and should absolutely not be used for swimming.

I am personally happy to share all my public code to support the development of better models.

It's not "the guy behind you" in most states I've driven in, it's literally half the people on the road. If you aren't driving the same speed as the people around you out of some misguided sense of self-righteousness you are actively impeding traffic.

I've literally been pulled over and told off (using much the same words I'm using now) for going too slowly on a freeway. I was religiously driving the speed limit and the rest of the traffic wanted to go faster. I corrected my behavior at that point and started going with the flow.

Parquet and other columnar storage formats are essentially already tuned for that.

A lot of requests in themselves shouldn't be that horrible with Cloudfront nowadays, as you both have low latency and with HTTP2 a low-overhead RPC channel.

There are some potential remedies, but each come with significant architetural impact:

- Bigger range queries; For smallish tables, instead of trying to do point-based access for individual rows, instead retrieve bigger chunks at once and scan through them locally -> Less requests, but likely also more wasted bandwidth

- Compute the specific view live with a remote DuckDB -> Has the downside of having to introduce a DuckDB instance that you have to manage between the browser and S3

- Precompute the data you are interested into new parquest files -> Only works if you can anticipate the query patterns enough

I read in the sibling comment that your main issue seems to be re-reading of metadata. DuckDB is AFAIK able to cache the metadata, but won't across instances. I've seen someone have the same issue, and the problem was that they only created short-lived DuckDB in-memory instances (every time the wanted to run a query), so every time the fresh DB had to retrieve the metadata again.
I don't think so. The author accurately describes Direnv and also makes a big deal out of writing .envrc.
The French mantra is strategic autonomy. We are allies with the USA, we are not vassals of the USA and we do not want to depend on anybody else to defend our own interests or our own agenda. This is why the French army has independent expeditionary and nuclear deterrent capabilities and why nearly all of our military kit is designed and produced either locally or in partnership with nearby European countries.

It's not that we don't trust the Americans per se (although opinions may differ on that topic), but we don't want to have to.

ArianeGroup also manufactures the M51 missile that goes inside our SSBNs and unlike the Brits we do not accept depending on Americans supplying us with the missiles for our nuclear deterrent.
When creating your startup, one of the first (and biggest) challenges you face is finding the right balance between developing your product and acquiring your first customers.

In the physical world, it’s impossible to launch a new product without meeting some minimum requirements and investing lots of time and money.

In the software industry, developing products publicly from day one is increasingly common, even before they are ready for sale. The objective is to gather customer feedback as early as possible to ensure the product meets market demands.

However, figuring out how to do this isn’t obvious, and there’s no one-size-fits-all recipe for every startup. In the past, it was more common to hear about startups that spent months or even years developing their product, only to launch and find out people didn’t really want it.

I've used Git for over 16 years and have countless of papercuts with the CLI. Of course as you grow more experienced you eventually memorize the commands you end up using despite them not having much consistency (git checkout removes files, but it also changes or creates branches for instance).

This is a major pain for people learning Git for the first time and basically everyone have run into these issues, while a more user-friendly tool would've saved so much pain and suffering. There's a reason why most people cling to a Git GUI like their life depends on it.

Being easier to learn and reason about together with better conflict resolution and rebasing are substantial improvements I'd say.

> Problem is we know how much money SpaceX raised

If they wanted to raise money without it becoming public, they could do so easily - for example using directors loans.

A better way to guess their expenses is to look at how many employees they have. Lets call it 15,000. Lets put average pay at $150k/year after overheads and taxes. 96 launches in 2023. That puts the salary cost per launch at $23M/launch.

It's a very rough figure because obviously some rocket parts are purchased, there are other overheads, and there are other revenues and costs from starlink etc.
Yeah it's a very small study. But there's a huge online community of long-covid and me/cfs sufferers (10k + people) who tried it out and report back in form of a facebook group. And there's actually quite a success rate. Which again is hard to quantify but nevertheless...
