Your example underscores why it doesn't read that way for me. A Ferrari Enzo and a horse are such different transportation methods that the two barely overlap in use case. A horse needs no gasoline, can work off road, and is much quieter. The Ferrari can travel much faster and farther in a go, doesn't get spooked by loud noises, and doesn't require as much daily maintenance.

I wouldn't bring a Ferrari Enzo to do a horse's job, nor a horse to do a Ferrari Enzo's job.

The same is even more true for Postgres and SQLite. Postgres is a poor fit for an on-device database for a mobile app or embedded device, and SQLite is a poor fit to power a high traffic horizontally scaled web service.

Websites aren't the way they are because JavaScript frameworks exist or because these frameworks are popular. These frameworks exist to solve common problems and provide common features.

The web sucks because of the ubiquity of the advertising based funding model.

It's trivial to build a simple website with any of these frameworks that will be blazing fast. They don't become slow and bloated until you start adding tracking scripts and advertisements and whatever crazy UI bloat the site owners demand.

JavaScript didn't ruin the web, so-called market forces did.

Another benefit was speed, since a CDN was supposed to serve content faster than your server because it is a distributed network of servers. Probably not an advantage today with current speeds, unless you use dozens/hundreds of libraries a la Node.JS
If AI chatbots actually gathered information that was then forwarded to the live agent once you reached them then I'd find that tolerable, but I've literally never seen that be the case. In practice every time I get to an actual human I've had to completely start over from scratch.

The only mainstream languages where you can actually pass function references around, without them being sugar for some complex object that the compiler creates are C, C++ and Rust. And it's not trivial to do in Rust.
This phenomena also occurs in the transgender community; people put a lot of thought and intention choosing their new names only to wind up surrounded by other people who also landed on the same name, often for similar reasons. There's even a whole subreddit specifically for transfeminine people who are named some variation of Lily: https://www.reddit.com/r/LilyIsTrans/

None of that requires "aRtIfIcIaL iNtElLiGeNcE".

In fact, those tasks been accomplished for quite some time without it.

Back in the mid-'00s when Verizon was rolling out FIOS they MAC-locked their DHCP to their routers so when deploying my own router, I had to punch my way through a bot suggesting that I "turn it off and on again" and "clear my browser cache" while waiting on the phone to say the magic words to a human.

Now an AI does it even worse (though Verizon fixed their DHCP handling). The dumbest aspect of the AI bots is when they do the fake "typing" indicator instead of just spitting out their useless drivel as fast as I can read it, that's a +1 for the old-skool tree-based bots.
2 kinds of people in the world, those who will work and those who don't. Those who work have long gotten over the inability to accept advice and criticism. Those who don't are unable to accept advice. Advice is hostile to them. There are cultures where high % of the people are like this.

Once you accept this, you must figure out which a person is and adjust how to give advice. You can straight up ask, but that makes for boringness. Then you approach it with positivity and excitement; speaking in regards to that person's wants.

You'll be shocked what kind of happens around you in the periphery afterwards. A positive and negative reaction occurs, you might call it karma or what comes around goes around. Playing with advice can be dangerous, which is why it's a hostile thing for some cultures.
IMHO your domain name is a confusable that will make many people think it’s offline if they try to manually type in that domain name - because even I typed in portfolio dot app, and not portfolo dot app. And portfolio.app doesn’t lead anywhere - the owner of that domain name hasn’t stood anything up.

And while this product may appeal to many, IMHO most technical people are going to want to self-host in some fashion in order to avoid the issue of niche/boutique SAAS products being suddenly discontinued by their creators.

I certainly don’t touch the vast majority of SAAS products unless it has a significant commercial backing behind it, and even then I try to avoid SAAS as much as possible for philosophical reasons: if I can’t control it, I can’t depend on it.

well don't ask feminist organizations, ask the plumbers and the customers:

https://www.workiz.com/blog/plumbing/why-how-hire-women-plum...

The second reason comes down to client safety. For various reasons, some women simply aren’t comfortable with male plumbers. Though most plumbers are perfectly nice people unless you’re a particularly spirited clog in a drain, the fact remains that not every woman is comfortable being alone in her home with a man that she doesn’t know. Having access to industry professionals that can provide a little more comfort can be a huge selling point, particularly for young women, single mothers, and victims of domestic violence.

https://www.worldplumbing.org/attracting-more-women-to-plumb...

https://www.commusoft.us/blog/why-the-industry-needs-more-fe...

“We work with women that are survivors of domestic abuse. At a women’s safe house, if some work needs doing and they need to contact a tradesman, it can often be quite stressful for them. We get inundated calls from customers who want to use tradeswomen.”

so it appears there is an objective need for female plumbers, not just as a statistic, not just to create a better workplace, or higher shareholder returns. those arguments are given too. but with single women being more common and higher awareness of domestic abuse, the argument can be made that with 30% of women being single, 5% female plumbers is not enough.

this is a very rough estimate. 30% single women is 15% of the total population, but 23% of the total number of households. (30% single women + 30% single men + 70% each of married men and women adds up to 130 household units)

however if you add 25% stay at home women who are usually the ones who would deal with a plumber since the husband is at work, then they will probably prefer female plumbers too. so i'd estimate that we need at least 25% to 30% female plumbers.

it can be argued that being served by a tradesperson of your own gender is a right, and therefore a gender distribution that matches the needs of the population is not just something that would improve the trade (which can be argued about), but actually a necessity that should be enforced by law.

same goes for teachers btw. boys need male role models, and therefore i believe laws should push for a 50/50 gender parity among teaching staff at all levels.

similar arguments can be made for all consumer facing professions. (police for example). this is no longer a question of qualification or job preference. it's not even a question of gender equality, but a question of how to best serve the population as a whole.

I really don't see how you can read this as anything other than "SQLite is worse than Postgres". He basically says "sometimes I doubt if Postgres is the best database, but then I use SQLite, and it really is".
Did the 10 independent experts provide any evidence for these new claims? I can not find any in the article you have provided. I believe you should confine your assertion to “high risk” as the article states.

FTA: “ In its most recent evaluation, carried out last month, the IPC said Gaza remains at “high risk” of famine as the war continues and aid access is restricted, but stopped short of classifying conditions as a famine.
I think it does mean "the fucking article", but I also think a lot of people use it as "the featured article". I agree with you though, it's a bit confusing sometimes as the less nice usage is still also common hahaha.
I've been learning a lot about molecular biology recently, and am about to run some procedures related to plasmid isolation, gene cloning, and expression. Of note, the resources I've read, from AddGene, and The Bumbling Biochemist (excellent Youtube channel) emphasize sending your plasmids in for sequencing once complete, due to all the errors that can occur.

I am wondering if the plasmids the researchers here tested simply weren't sequenced. This wouldn't explain all classes of errors (like toxic protein production), but it may explain some. When you order from AddGene, they provide both the depositor's sequence results, if available, and their own results. The paper doesn't mention AddGene specifically; I'm curious how their plasmids compare to the ones tested.

Regarding toxic proteins: It seems like that would be a straightforward software addition to pass sequencing results through.

You are exposed to greater than 1000W/m^2 of broadband EM every time you go outside; the sun shines WAY outside the visible spectrum, you know. Have you ever ridden in an electric or hybrid electric vehicle? Have you been on a train or ship? Have you walked near a power transformer or driven past a substation? These all produce field effect many many orders of magnitude stronger than we are discussing here.

You are pulling out every logical fallacy in the book in your approach to this question. EM exposure is rigorously studied and safety standards have existed almost as long as we have known about electromagnetism! About the only time that a normal person even comes close to needing to worry about them is when getting an MRI or climbing a radio tower.

I am curious how they link to suicide and homicide. Antidepressants seem to be most dangerous when they make people just motivated enough to execute maladaptive ideas but not functional enough to become happy productive people.

2Secured – an E2EE secrets sharing tool
Hi HN!

I want to share a service we’ve been working on called 2Secured and ask for feedback. It's a tool to send sensitive information using end-to-end encryption.

Here's a link to our landing page: https://2secured.link/

I’ve worked at several companies where the standard for sending or receiving secrets inside and outside the company (passwords, api credentials, documents, ...) was to send/receive them in an email or in slack. Secrets not only lived in their final destination, but were also persisted in many different third party communication services in clear text. It was a common practice and a compliance nightmare.

2Secured ensures that the secrets you send and collect remain private and secure. We’ve abstracted away the pipes for sending and collecting secrets, allowing you to collect and send e2ee data with simple secure links, user friendly customizable forms, and in the future, easy integrations with your backends via SDKs and APIs. We’re also layering in features such as customizable link expiration and email confirmation to view the secrets.

You can share confidential documents, personal data, and other sensitive information without worrying about leaving plain text secrets in intermediate services. You also don’t have to worry about implementing your own internal tools or pages for fulfilling common data requests from clients or partners. It's made for companies or professionals who need handle private information regularly, such as legal documents, medical records, financial data, API keys, pass-phrases, etc.

Has anybody else come across this issue in any of the organizations you've worked in? How have you approached solving the problem?

Please ask any questions or share your experiences! Any feedback on the tool would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

While I am no apologist for the measurement system we use here in the United States, I realized something interesting when trying to explain why almost all of our units consist of easily divisible sub-units. Imagine you needed to split something up into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, etc.. If you imagine doing this with paper, it's fairly easy.

Now imagine Metric, and the need to split something into 10 even pieces. We can make this a little easier knowing that we just need to split into fifths first, and then halve each of those. Do you know how to fold a piece of paper into fifths?

It can be done, and it's remarkable how to do this with a straight edge and a pencil. However it is definitely more time consuming than being able to fold using easily divisible numbers. To that end, once you have a decimal ruler you can just use that, but I can see why decimal based measurements were not more common in the past.

All that being said, I really wish metrication had been completed here in the US before I was born.

By being cheaper for cheap customers by having razor thin margins and they don't complain since it is cheap.

More expensive customers then turn into pure profit but have a hard time going to a competitor who can't undercut you without the scale benefits you got from your cheap offering.

You can still have logs. What I'm suggesting is that vast amounts of unstructured logs, are worse than useless.

Metics tell you where and when something when wrong. Logs tell you why.

However, a logging framework, which is generally lossy, and has the lowest level of priority in terms of deliverability is not an audit mechanism. especially as nowhere are ACLs or verifiability is mentioned. How do they prove that those logs originates from that machine?

If you're going to have an audit mechanism, some generic logging framework is almost certainly a bad fit.
