Or if you have a DDL user (which is smart; your app user should not be allowed to execute DDL), you can use `ALTER ROLE` for them to have whatever defaults you'd like.

MySQL has a similar variable, `max_execution_time`.
Perhaps someone has already commented this, but LE can still purchase data from data brokers circumventing need for a warrant. That’s not to say that this isn’t an important step in the right direction, rather it’s to point out that there is still work to be done.
> If you're suggesting that Steam doesn't have an effective monopoly on the PC market, I have bad news for you.

Not what I'm suggesting. In fact, you're making my case beautifully.

I'm agreeing that the PC being "open" isn't what makes the difference.

People are barking up the wrong tree. Your argument is much as the one I made elsewhere in this thread for why there's Amazon when there's Alibaba, and Amazon can charge not percentages more, but many times the price, for same products.

Tangentially, "imploring" people reminds me: I encourage Mac and iPhone toting friends to try SetApp. It's like Apple Arcade but for utilities. It's not from Apple, and people are confused it works for iOS. Once they try it, they set it and forget it. I don't know if it's working for the app owners there, but the value/reward seems much more balanced than the world where every widget wants $119.88 to 239.88 a year (12 x $19.99).

Less tangentially, there are ways to exploit users and ways to add value. The second is harder.
>is it possible for a second-tier distributor to bring more value to a first-tier distributor than the first-tier brings to suppliers?

In the sense that [bigger company] can make more money and reach more people than [smaller company], yes. But if all they are doing is sitting there and using that bigger presence, you can see how that roads ends in antitrust.

>The economics would suggest that Patreon should do away with their iOS app, focus iOS users on the web, and everyone would be ahead.

two big issues.

1. No one wins. Users lose the convinience of an app, Apple loses money from a potential large customer, Patreon loses views from being visible on the app store. It's just bad buzz all around for no good reason.

2. The underselling point that Apple has actively sabatoged web apps and PWA's which is part of why the DMA is coming down hard on them. We're well past a monopolistic power using its power to stifle competition.

Let's not pretend this trillion dollar company that already forces devs to use IOS hardware to develop (and took down their server OS's to boot), and charges a yearly membership to dev is scaping for cash here.
It's been probably the single most valuable content resource in my life.

I owe so much to YouTube. The price I pay is small for what I get in return and I only see the service getting better over the years.

I'm not asking you to agree with me. But I hope you find this perspective useful in seeing how other people view it.
Not even a good analogy when it comes to technology. Standing close to the door could be considered illegal and even if you had the legal right to entire anything you would find could be inadmissible.
Ask HN: Computer Science or Business admin in 2024?
Hello. I'm 17, and I've loved Programming and Economics/Finance for quite some time now. I believe I'm semi-decent at both, and I would enjoy my time in college pursuing either degree.

Due to the way university entrance works in my country, these are essentially my only two decent options. However, I believe both have some significant drawbacks.

Computer Science seems to be becoming quite saturated, both due to AI-driven software and increased competitiveness, with the number of CS students only rising practically everywhere. Even if fears about AI are overblown, it seems very unlikely that a CS degree will be more valuable in the future; in fact, it will probably lose value. Long story short, I'm not confident that 4 years from now the field will be what it is now.

A business degree, on the other hand, in my mind at least, seems to be more stable and predictable. That being said, I'm a little doubtful about whether a non-technical degree is worth pursuing and actually useful, and I'm quite doubtful about spending four years to get one.

I've got a couple of weeks to decide, and I'm really torn between the two, so I'd really appreciate some help.
I should say what 3D game engines use Go?*
The short answer is it depends.

Insights you may gain at YC may help you either pivot or improve the current SaaS you have either from an offering or operational perspective.

Most importantly folow your gut feeling because that's what got you to $8.5k MRR. If there is even a 5% chance to improve your product or increase your revenue or both, you should take it. Define your success metric and proceed accordingly.

Hope this helps you :)
I stand corrected. Still, I agree with your decision.
You must have seen how beautiful the welds are on the Rocketdyne F-1 joints. Whoever made those put pride in their work.
It is absolutely astonishing to me that Americans call their country "the land of freedom" while at the same time their society keeps on producing more and more bizarre ways to control the citizens, paralleled only by communist regimes. Usually when I try pointing this out they act confused and explain to me that I'm misunderstanding their idea of freedom. "You know what, no adult can be trusted to be left alone in their own room for 24 hours, the official policy is to make regular inspections" turns into "the hotel has freedom to check on their guests, if you don't like it you're free to go to a different hotel (closest one is 10h drive away)"
I dont think, the customer, or in your example "you" does not even come into the equation.

It is straightly Apple and Patreon. And in terns of Apple, they do think Patreon is accessing their customer base ( You ) and hence they want a cut of it.
Right... people who have Pinterest boards of architectural styles tend to appreciate brutalism much more than your average bear.

By analogy: if you are going to play music loudly for potentially millions of people over the course of decades or centuries, you have a responsibility not to play either pop that's likely to be shortlived or esoteric niche music that many people will not like.

This is the task that architects have with every building they design, yet for some reason[1] decide against building the styles that we empirically know have unbelievable lasting power and extremely broad appeal. So broad and so long lasting, in fact, that we simply call them "classical."

[1] They do this because architects and architect-adjacent people, like those with Pinterest boards, give them awards and clout for their "remarkable" and "boundary-pushing" and "thought-provoking" designs, as if those are desirable traits for music played for millions of people across a hundred years.
In my 26 years of experience I can say that's the only way to advance in this industry. Programmers are just cogs in the machine no matter their skill level. A lesson I wish I learned much earlier. I grew up with a mid-western "loyalty" mindset, and it cost me many years of fair pay.
Not STD comes close to .NET, IMO.

> Person says brutalism is a style of modernism, a movement that appealed to architects and designers because of its material honesty and lack of ornamentation.

It crushes the human spirit. Our societal renewal will include a return to building celebrating human greatness and lifting us.
I don't need Apple to tell me which emulators (if any) I can run on my device.

Imagine running an Apple iLinux that only installs from its app store.
Also being generally hideous, inhumane, and poorly aging. Those don't help either.
I think phrasing with insistence that it is "probably not the case today" despite demonstrable evidence of certainty means that the motivation for this reply was not to learn something new or share something you know but to try to get a raise with low-effort bait. This is both tiresome and goes against guidelines.

Somehow we all can normally discuss programming languages without bringing practices of Google or Oracle into the picture and focus instead on programming language development initiatives that they drive and sponsor, that are themselves sufficiently independent. Let's keep it that way.

Thank you! I was so confused, reading the article and scratching my head wondering why there were no pictures. In the end I started doing image searches to see what the buildings looked like for myself.
I mean, yes, but it's similar to how image segmentation entails image classification (if you can segment the dog you can classify the image as one containing a dog).

There's oodles of labelled images of dogs, but comparably much fewer datasets of dog silhouettes.

Another factor is that it's far easier (and less informative) to predict that two proteins are capable of interacting with any degree of affinity than with a specific amount.

You may say to yourself (as I once did): "Well surely a well calibrated PPI inference model will output interaction probabilities that correlate with binding affinity!"

I've tested this and I've yet to find one written by myself or others that behaves this way.

If this line of questioning is interesting to, definitely sign up for Google Scholar alerts on my name because we're publishing some very cool stuff on precisely this v. soon.
Why is this not cancelled?

Do creators have an option to opt out of allowing transactions from the iOS app?
At no point did the article make any verified claim about anything in the water other than H2O. The title is fiction.

SpaceX almost certainly uses zero mercury in their rockets, and if they do use tiny amounts, it’ll be a in the electronics and not getting washed into the water in appreciable amounts.

The fuel is natural gas and oxygen. Where’s the mercury coming from!?

You could write your own syntax sugar functions with signatures like...

func copyArrStringShallow(x []string) []string { return x }
// strings are immutable in go, but for []byte etc also deep copy that.
func copyArrStringDeep(x []string) []string {
ret := make([]string, 0, len(x))
copy(ret, x)
return ret
}
I do not know the details of their contracts, but assuming these are cost-plus contracts then it may be fair to equate structural dysfunction to intent.

I’m fairly certain this is because it’s the only way of offering a trial that Apple allows?
They regularly have missions to Geostationary Transfer Orbit, but I assume that’s not what you’re talking about.
I also think it is a good idea to learn a few very different languages when you are starting out so that you have a sense of the tradeoffs and the different ways things can be done. When I was in college they taught C and Lisp (I am dating myself) which seemed very different to me at the time but also useful in different ways. Close to the hardware, vs supporting objects, lambda functions, etc. Later I learned a number of other languages and now I try hard to avoid switching languages because of the lost productivity.

Now if I were starting out I think I would try to focus on two different languages, but more modern ones. Maybe Rust and Python?

No thanks.

You can be both an Amex and a Visa card Customer.

You can also be an iPhone and Android Customer at the same time as well. As well as a web user.

Amex charges higher fees, and offer specific services to their customer base.
Oh that's good to hear.

I worked in a "blue team" and we would only get travel approvals for black hat. Even though I've never been as I didn't want to and I was hesitant to visit the US. Black Hat doesn't interest me precisely for the reason you mentioned. I don't want sales pitches, I want unrestricted flow of technical information without marketing motives.
> When people argue about the validity of these claims, I simply point them to this talk https://go.dev/talks/2012/concurrency.slide#42

There's nothing impressive in these slides. This may have been pretty good in 2012, but this code looks very much like the equivalent Swift or Rust.
This article doesn't, but the one it links to does.

> SpaceX said in its response on X that there were "no detectable levels of mercury" found in its samples. But SpaceX wrote in its permit application that its mercury concentration at one outfall location was 113 micrograms per liter. Water quality criteria in the state calls for levels no higher than 2.1 micrograms per liter for acute aquatic toxicity and much lower levels for human health.

The article also says important information was missing from the application:

> Teague, who has more than three decades of water quality and coastal planning experience, told CNBC the application was full of holes, missing basic details about water discharge volumes, the temperature of the effluent and outfall locations.
Not yet, but I believe the Artemis 3 manned moon landing is still a planned for 2026.

Because Congress critters use it as a means to spend taxpayer money on purchasing votes. They'll do pretty much anything to avoid having to admit that SLS was a mistake.
It sounds to me like there are some people who don't follow the style, rather than there not being a consistent style.
Check out the city of Skopje, Macedonia in the pre 2000s period (max 2010s) for a brutalist-but-good architecture.

Post 2014 it got “updated” with baroque architecture - as most of the brutalist buildings were covered in plaster. Worst decision.

History:
The whole city got destroyed in a massive earthquake in 1963. After that it got rebuilt following an architectural plan by a Japanese architect- Kenzo Tange.

In my opinion the city center got the most beautiful buildings at the time - the “City Wall” wrapping around the central square, the building of the “Macedonian opera & ballet” etc.

At the same time the “small city” spirit was preserved - the old Turkish Bazaar, family houses 5min walking distance from the center; and even amplified with the donated “barrack houses” from the worlds nations.

For those interested check out the video “Skopje 1979” on YouTube.
Not using SLAM like this paper and not transforming splats into polygonal meshes, but I used Luma's Unreal Engine plugin[0] for rendering splats via Niagara VFX to develop a walkable reconstruction of a small mall in my hometown[1]. I believe RealityCapture and Nerfstudio have some built-in abilities to transform splats to meshes but haven't seen good results; you're better off feeding the raw image data into a reconstruction workflow focused on polygonal meshes which is RealityCapture's main feature[2]. They recently got bought out by Epic (creator of Unreal Engine) and photogrammetry is already used everywhere in video games, one recent standout example being Hellblade II: Senua's Saga.

I feel like autocomplete has reduced the problem of verbosity for all languages. And if I am writing something that is going to have to be supported a lot I want something that is very explicit and easy to read. For me that is the "verbose" languages.
He did this in broad daylight. The guns were disguised in cases. He used the service elevator with staff help. In one case the staff helped move his guns on a rack.

If he leaves the guns in the cases it just looks like he has a lot of luggage. He had a huge suite. If it didn't look odd to them in the first place I can't imagine how it would in retrospect:

I wonder why Patreon isn't hammering this point more if that's the case. This seems to me to be an almost bigger problem than the loss of the per-creation billing.

Not that losing per-creation billing is good, but Patreon has been threatening it for a while, and there are ways it could in theory be simulated. But this makes it effectively impossible for creators to go on vacations, take a sabbatical, whatever... without continuing to charge patrons. It's a really commonly used mechanism from what I've seen, this would be a loss of a really important flexible tool for creators.

I'm not distrusting you, I just feel like I'd like to see some confirmation from Patreon before I start making accusations about it. Maybe they have some deal or know something about a future unreleased API that I don't know?

But losing the ability to pause a Patreon page would be a very, very big deal. Arguably even a bigger deal than the 30% tax, since I assume this change would affect everyone regardless of where they subscribe from. That's something that people should be talking about if it's the case.
Unrelated, I've noticed for a few years now, several of those HN similarity things claim we're proximate.

Perhaps they just think we both say Apple a lot.
Here here! Functions do not depend on your choice of coordinates, only the components of tensors do! I think this is why it’s important to keep covariance and contravariance in mind. While tensor(fields) do not depend on coordinates intrinsically, the way we represent them when doing calculations most certainly does, and this is usefully characterized by co/contravariance.
By analogy, if you are playing music over your entire block 24/7 and you pick music that is really pushing the boundaries of most people's tastes: you're not sophisticated, you're just an asshole.
Yeah I didn't like the article in part because it works from an odd premise, that any building that many people dislike essentially is disliked by everyone, and therefore is not in need of saving. If that was the standard, almost no modern art or architecture would be preserved.

I love brutalist architecture. Why, I don't know, but it has always felt interesting, clean, and serene — even cozy in its own way — to me. I grew up around and spending a lot of time in brutalist architecture, and have fond memories of a lot of it. It's also different from a lot of other architecture, as you point out, and worthwhile in that regard alone I think.
This comment makes no sense to me and contradicts itself. First sentence:

> "you" does not even come into the equation

Second sentence:

> Patreon is accessing their customer base ( You )

Of course I come into the equation. Apple does not and cannot subscribe me to a Patreon without my initiative and consent.

They're a very common and useful idea from Computer Science so you will find them in pretty much any modern language, there are a lot of variations on this idea, but the core idea recurs everywhere.
"Launches to higher-orbits have included DSCOVR to Sun–Earth Lagrange point L1, TESS to a lunar flyby, a Tesla Roadster demonstration payload to a heliocentric orbit extending past the orbit of Mars, DART to the asteroid Didymos, Euclid to Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, and Psyche to the asteroid 16 Psyche." Per wikipedia, not sure if those count as meaningful. Plus Europe Clipper in a few months.

> 2. From a user perspective, an IRC replacement ought to compete with Discord. That means support for posting images and videos, audio/video chat, offline history, easy switching between desktop and phone, deep and granular admin controls, etc. I'd love for there to be an open source & open protocol option here, but I'm terrified to even imagine an RFC that implements all of this in a way that works in practice.

Ugh no.The reason I love IRC is precisely because it's not Discord. IRC with Quassel (and QuasselDroid on mobile) adds most of the mod cons already without being overly bloated.

Besides, if you want something like that you already have Matrix which is just what you're looking for and fully open and federated.
I think opinions on Go depend on the quality of code you're used to working with. I was lucky enough to be on a small team of great engineers for much of my career so far, and my impression of Go is that it prevents you from writing good code. However hearing others' opinions, I suspect it also doesn't let the bad code get too bad, which if you're used to bad code, is desirable.
Does anyone actually seriously believe the U.S. will land a person on the moon in 2025? This is the country that takes decades to open a new subway station.
I still believe Python comprehensions have confusing structure and in real code I've seen it's 10x worse with 5+ expressions packed in a single line. I much prefer a Nim's style of list comprehensions:

let a = collect:
for word in wordList:
if word notin bannedWords:
word
let b = collect(for x in list: x)

It's still very terse, but, more importanly, it's the same syntax as a regular `for loop`. It has the structure, where in Python complex comprehensions look like a "keyword soup".
>the counter-argument to this is that Apple would ultimately be blamed in the minds of consumers for not keeping those devices protected from bad software.

To be brash, maybe consumers need to learn how to protect themselves or move to dumb hardware that is impractical to hack. I don't understand this trend of blaming corporations for not being the de facto gatekeeper of security. They should help minimize spam/malware, but if you're going out of your way to disable those securities (likened to turning off Windows Defender after 2 warnings), your insecurities are self-inflicted.

Many "opponents" aren't asking to change the default experience. They simply want the reigns to take those risks and tinker. Most people can barely even find the theme settings on Android; I won't believe a signifigant portion will get through idiot-proof safeguards just because "well they have a chance to now!"
