According to Wikipedia, Yugabyte (the company) has taken 290 million dollars of VC money. It's probably a safe assumption that they will follow the same path soon enough.
it does have a debugger with breakpoints, which even supports time-travel debugging (except on windows obviously), but i've never used it. it even has first-party ide integration: https://ocaml.org/manual/5.2/debugger.html#s:inf-debugger

i use debuggers a lot when i'm programming in assembly, and from time to time when i'm programming in c or c++, but in ocaml i've never needed one. it's not that i've never had bugs in ocaml, but they tend to be of a different flavor, a flavor for which breakpoints are of little value

it sounds like your f# experience is different; what kinds of bugs have you recently found the debugger valuable for in f#?

debug logging is usually a superior option to breakpoint debugging for problems to which both are applicable, because debug logging shows you the whole history of your program's execution rather than just a single point in time. breakpoint debugging requires a lot of manual labor, painstakingly operating the machine to navigate the execution to the state that has the problem. it's like grinding in a video game. i'd rather program the computer to do that labor for me, at which point i no longer need the debugger

(except in c and assembly)
For me it's about making money in ways that don't feel like work.
I don't know who Andrej Illarionov is

I'm pretty sure you know what Wikipedia is; he's on there. Even that Russian-owned search engine that you prefer to use for some reason will answer your question for you. Except there's no need, because his intro was also in one of the article snippets above that you presumably read very carefully:

Andrej Illarionov, the President’s chief economic adviser from 2000 to 2005,

So I'm pretty sure you could know exactly who he is, and indeed could find out pretty much everything you need to know about him if you wanted to.

Plus, isn't it strange that you said

These are mostly statements from other people rather than Kremlin officials

When in fact all the 3 persons quoted were "Kremlin officials", including Putin himself and his right-hand man, Medvedev?

That's all I have time for. This discussion has gotten very weird indeed, so I'll have to bow out.

OK, but if you want to judge white collar crime and blue collar crime with the same yardstick, you have to put a price on human suffering. How much money do I have to embezzle so it's equivalent to a punch in the face? How much so it's equivalent to a murder? By a scale of suffering caused, I would argue that embezzling a very large sum can be much worse than an assault. On the other hand, not every murder causes the same amount of suffering.

He admired "how much Elon Musk got out of his employees," as if employees are some kind of copper mine that you're supposed to extract as much from as fast as you can. He kind of said the quiet part out loud. The leadership class measures other leaders by how much they can "get out of" people.
Done.

Maybe I overlooked it. You were missing one that has the “essential only” as the standard option - that would be my second favourite (after not needing one because there is no tracking).
The problem with these sorts of analytical approaches is how to handle backgrounds, depth and intersections. There are good reasons why GPUs rely on variations of multisampling. Even CPU-based 3D render engines use similar methods rather than analytic filters, as far as I know.

A more interesting approach to antialiasing, in my opinion, is the use of neural nets to generate aesthetically pleasing outputs from limited sample data, as seen for example in NVidia's DLAA [0]. These methods go beyond trying to optimize over-simplistic signal processing reconstruction metrics.

Probably bought with stolen credit cards too right? Chargebacks are real fun.
I see the issue with these more as if you are paying for it, one of the decision factors to buy it might have been that you have the opportunity to go to an open source version if the relationship gets bad.

Sole source vendors are really risky, so open source gives a little control back to the buyer that the vendor won't lock them in then screw them later (oracle).

So now if you're paying for Cockroach, you're effectively on proprietary technology with no negotiating levers.
This is a sort of lazy Ask HN: but in your experience, what is more useful / valuable - nanosecond representation, or years outside the nano range of something like 1678-2200

I don't do "proper" science so the value of nanoseconds seems limited to very clever experiments (or some financial trade tracking that is probalby even more limited in scope).

But being able to represent historical dates seems more likely to come up?

Thoughts?

Khamenei has been the supreme leader for over three decades at this point, and has left a very long trail of Holocaust denial and "elders of Zion"-type public statements behind him. I don't think it's a stretch to infer that Iran's governmental views extend in no small part from his personal views.

Again: this isn't a blanket characterization of the people of Iran, and it's not an assumption that Iran's government will always be antisemitic.

You need an enterprise that's already decided to use CockroachDB if your trial offer is only 30 days long. We've barely walked around the car & kicked the tires before that trial runs out; it's not respectful of the time it takes enterprises to move at all.

That's the wrong question. Paraphrasing Baldwin, one might expect from one person and not another, and only when that expectation is defeated in the former does a certain bitterness ensue. There's no reason to waste energy and emotion on a person from whom one expects nothing, and subsequently receives nothing.

But if Hollywood execs are scamming the people whose labor makes their whole venture possible in the first place, that's worth expending energy on. Hence, again, the strikes.

Inventing a thing and understanding a thing aren't necessarily the same. We adopt technologies and make them our own, sometimes away from the inventor's initial vision.

I think if people, by and large, enjoy markdown one way (for example in this forum, where you italicize text but the control characters don't show), then maybe the inventor is wrong. Or is right about their preferences but shouldn't try to make their preferences the de facto standard.

You just can't build anything new based on CockroachDB now, because the pricing for self-hosted is "Contact us". So if you build a product you'd need to contact them first and kinda guess how successful you'll be. Maybe it's fine and the license cost isn't a big deal, or it will completely ruin your business case.

Plenty of us have had to deal with this scenarios before with Oracle. Cheap or free to get started, then your product takes off and Oracle shows up and starts to demand their cut. I'm not suggesting that Cockroach is the new Oracle, but this type of licensing introduces a significant uncertainty into your future plans.
I am not particularly sympathetic to Kim Dotcom personally; but: Intellectual Property is illegitimate, anti-social, immoral. We should oppose its enforcement, both within states and in international contexts.

I am reminded of Eban Moglen's "dot-communist manifesto" of 2003, worth a read:

There's also the matter of the USA being able to enforce its legal norms on people living in other countries, via instruments like extradition but also sanctions for less-friendly world states.
I am a paid user of MidJourney so I had to test this. The image quality is similar. It seems to understand prompts a bit better than MidJourney, but just a bit better.

There's way more. I'd risk saying google drive has more pirated content today than MegaUpload and Rapidshare combined ever did, just based on the size of the user base and basic knowledge of long tail distribution. Other than that today you have so much piracy on discord, telegram, p2p communities stay strong, and of course the first rule of usenet is you don't mention it.
Given the insane sales numbers of airpods and their prevalence, I am not surprised there are some people who would have it. Given large enough userbase for a product, someone is bound to have an issue like that.

I am just curious how prevalent it actually is in terms of a bit more hard numbers. Not asking you to produce those numbers, because I doubt they are actually available. I am just mostly wondering outloud.

You edited your answer so I will comment on the last thing you wrote.

Admitting you said something incorrect takes courage and it never feels great. Everyone says something incorrect about something at some point. I would have no account if I deleted it every time I said something incorrect. God knows I make mistakes on a regular basis. Just because you said something incorrect now does not mean you will have nothing positive to contribute to another discussion. Just take it as an learning opportunity.
According to the last 107 years of history, yes.
> I think people dont realize that the Russians are a super power.

Super power that cannot defend it's own borders during the hot war. I guess their superpower army too busy conquering Moon and Mars or far away galaxy.

And you know what's not happened when Ukraine started to capture Russia territory? Putin and his gang said nothing at all about nuclear weapons during last 10 days. Not even single hint even though he like to talk about them every time when his ass not in danger.

This is because they are criminals and bullies and these kind of people only understand force.
Agreed. I talked with them in the past and the pricing was far too expensive to make it worth it.

Honestly, firefox.

I've had numerous performance and memory issues with Firefox but from my testing over the years it's the closest to Chrome/Chromium you can get.

Also Firefox gets new features fairly regularly. It's still an "innovative" browser, as opposed to Chromium which is mostly stagnant. Vertical tabs are pretty cool.

Personally, I just got to like Firefox over time.

You don’t have to hack that. The sound of chains shifting is both audible and visual.

There’s a pretty distinctive smacking sound that happens when chains find their new home. Particularly, on downshifts when the move to a small physical gear ring results in a brief reduction of tension before it snaps back to tension.
"only good Russians are dead Russians"

It's really upsetting to hear something so dehumanizing, have you ever interacted with russian people? would you say this about any other massive group of people?
A decade ago, I had a successful book business online, which included used college textbooks. I had IP lawyers (the same that represented the music and movie industries) send me threatening cease and desist letters on at least 2 occasions accusing me of selling counterfeit books.

At that point, I had gotten really good at spotting counterfeits, so I really doubt we were selling any counterfeits, especially when they couldn't come up with a single instance. The publishing companies continue to do this because used books cut into their profits.

I just sent my lawyer after them and they never came back.

Amazon and the publishers eventually came to an agreement that there were certain textbooks they just won't allow to be sold as used on their platform.
There is no abuse here. They released software under a specific license (BSL at that, plenty of opportunities to restrict).
It is described as a rugpull because of the marketing around it being open source. Coackroach however was never open source, it was BSL licensed. This change does appear to mean that old versions will no longer eventually convert to open source, though.

Thus it would be up to the the BSL promoters and marketers to decide whether or not this is a rugpull. As an open source user and proponent, I don't really care.
Then why do you care? If nobody is going to fork it anyway, what’s the benefit of being open source from the beginning?
I think they meant the Chromium based browsers but they should have specified it for clarity.

I have not been involved in Chinese legal cases, but I've been involved in several US legal cases at various levels. I would recommend more tiers in the small claims system.

So under $10k, both sides present to judge 10 minutes each and a decision is given. No depositions other than questions at trial by judge.

$10-100k both sides present to a judge for up to 100 minutes. This can be a sped up version of each side presenting then getting turns to rebut and the judge asking questions. Online depositions, max half a day. Then a decision.

$100k- $1m 3 days or less of trial. Regular discovery questions, max one day of depositions.

$3m or higher... Regular civil trials.
> Shared PHP hosting is a managed service, a VPS is not. Not everyone has the skill set to bridge the gap

It has always been very peculiar. You either had very stripped off permissions of what you could do: FTP comes to mind first, and then you still need to understand how Unix permissions work, and then you wish you had SSH; or you get SSH with some stripped off permissions, and then you do need to have the skills to use the Unix system inside; or you find that the underlying PHP/webserver has 6-month-old zero days and someone keeps owning all tenants all the time, but the sysadmins are prima donnas on power trip who know better.

And you are still in a firmly DIY area most of the time, with enough footgun to do you harm.

Oh, and if you want a custom domain, welcome to the special hell.

My favorite part of this was SOPA was being discussed on the same exact day they arrested Kim Dotcom, and they argued they needed SOPA to do what they did to Kim Dotcom. Kind of a useless bill.
It seems that whenever an open source project is run by a VC-backed company, it sooner or later ends up like this. Increasingly it seems that "open source" is just the teaser to get people interested and then when investors want revenue growth, the rug gets pulled.

IMO, it's not really open source if its run by a company that will eventually use its position to squeeze its users for cash.

The "tabs" seem to be arpeggiations of the chords, which might have been some use if the chord detection had worked well, which doesn't seem the case. I see chords and tabs being generated from sections which have only spoken audio, while actual guitar parts are not notated at all. The arpeggios are not consistent either and switch arbitrarily to upstrokes/downstrokes and back to arpeggios.

Chapter 1 is brilliant.

I've been shouting from the rooftops for years that math[0] courses need more context. We can prove X, Y, and Z, and this class will teach you that, but the motivating problem that led to our ability to do X, Y, and Z is mentioned only in passing.

We can work something out, and then come back and rework it in more generality, but then that reworking becomes a thing in and of itself. And this is great! Further advances come from doing just this. But for pedagogical purposes, stuff sticks in the human brain so much better if we teach the journey, and not just the destination. I found teaching Calculus I was able to draw in students so much more if I worked in what problems Newton was trying to solve and why. It gave them a story to follow, a reason to learn this stuff.

Kudos to the author for chapter 1 (and probably the rest, but chapter 1 is all I've had time to skim).

If what you mean by "horizontal scale of writes" is a distributed database, then there is FoundationDB, which is one of the very few databases that offers strict serializability (see https://jepsen.io/consistency).
