FYI, and interesting thing one can do with this, is load it up as a template in BarTender, by Seagull Scientific, and have a table of all your video collection, and it can autogenterate all the barcodes you'd want - additionally - one can put a QRcode barcode on it pointing to the IMDB rating for it. Or a QR code going to a google sheet library of all your videos... so if you wanted a way to automate print barcodes for a bunch of custom labels, Bartender is the best.

I was making employee badges and someone said they were a "Card Carrying Conspiracy Theorist" so I was making ID badges, and though "huh - what would a "Conspiracy Theorist Badge" look like so while I was learning Bartender I made these.

You can do barcodes in any format.

(point being you can load in the design elements of this inkscape - and make your own custom sleeves for your library super easy and have the barcodes generate correctly.)

Some paid Slack plans allow exports from their platform. Inside the ZIP, there will be an XML file that lists the channels - channels.xml, if I am not mistaken. However, I don‘t know about „categories“ - this could be some client configuration that actually is not part of the export. If it‘s not, I would perhaps take screenshots (overlapping is OK), and feed it to some LLM/VLM for extraction. I am confident that GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet will work, but Gemini 1.5 Pro should also work.

In my university they had boys-only dorms that were getting a bit rowdy all the time, so they made them co-ed and let girls in. The rowdiness and extreme partying and drinking evaporated.
I believe this requires context:

1) The producers of the documentary in question are a politically active group and well-known supporters of Bolsonaro.

1.1) They are also known for producing (and earning money from) content that spread misinformation, conspiracy theories and the like.

1.2) They always could, and they still can, produce and disseminate this kind of morally questionable content without being disturbed. They were never subject to a priori censorship, for we are not living under a dictatorship anymore.

2) In 2018, during the presidential campaign, Bolsonaro was the victim of an attack (stabbed). The suspect was arrested red-handed.

2.2) After that, a thorough investigation was carried out by the federal police (our FBI, so to speak) that concluded the suspect had mental issues and acted alone. There was no one "behind" the attempt.

2.3) Bolsonaro's personal lawyers, who followed the investigations, saw no elements to question nor to require further investigation, and in the criminal sphere, that's the end of the story.

2.4) However, as we could all expect, Bolsonaro politically exploited his attack. Up to this day, he or his supporters occasionally claim or imply that "this politician" or "that organization" is behind the attack he suffered. None of these claims can be grounded in the investigations carried out by the Police, and he never presents any evidence, not even circumstantial ones, for any of these claims. Long story short: he won the 2018 elections.

2.5) However, in 2022 there was no ongoing investigation anymore. Therefore, if he wants to point the finger towards someone, he has to do it by ignoring the conclusion of the investigations.

3) In 2022, while trying to get reelected, 6 *days* (not months) before the elections, the producers of the documentary in question (whose name is "Who ordered Bolsonaro to be killed?"), tried to release it online. The obvious goal was to exploit the attack politically in order to help Bolsonaro's reelection.

3.1) During the elections, as in many European countries, Brazil has specific rules designed to prevent economic abuse and fight disinformation that could cause a harmful imbalance in the electoral contest. You can't, for instance, accuse your adversary (or people from his campaign) of committing a crime without evidence (specially if the crime in question is something like ordering a murder) a few days before the election in the hope that people in shock vote for you. However, political supporters and campaigners use lots of well-known techniques to try to bypass these rules. One of them is to present Campaign information in the form of a "documentary".

4) That's why the electoral authorities preempted the producers from releasing the material 6 days before the election day as they planned. It could be released freely the day after the elections. And it was. It is there for anyone to see since then. That's what happened. Nothing like the heavy prior-censorship to which every journalist, artist and citizen was subjected to during our military dictatorship a few decades ago.

I hope this helps those interested in understanding Brazil's recent turmoil.
My recollection of the reason back then was that running on a VM would make the transition to 64 bits smooth, which at the time was worrying everyone a lot.

I think if this happens often then I would acknowledge there is a major disconnect amongst team members that this requires elevating to management. If it’s a one off, then it’s a lesson to be learned.

But if it’s happening often I would want to know if it’s me or them. What can I do to make this process smoother?

I struggle to see the utility of projects like this. For tabular data in active use, decompression will still require the same peak memory, so optimizing data types (e.g., reducing float and integer precision, using categorical columns) is more effective. For storage or unused data, a more portable and supported solution like Apache Parquet, which offers native compression, or simply gzipping a CSV, seems more practical.
The fact that react is popular and has learning resources available doesn't change the argument: “immediate mode” that some boast as a React feature is an illusion that will end up hitting you, and you'll end up using it like any other retained state framework.

React is cool because it's widely used (hence more tooling and learning material) and because JSX is very convenient (it composes very well), not because the vdom works well to create an immediate mode API.
I hate to sound like a crochety old man, but this sounds like a huge amount of overengineering for something that could easily be put in an ACID database to begin with.

100,000 requests/day is less than 2 a second. Most self-respecting databases would giggle at calling that a stretch.

The reason I know this is that I've built and maintained systems that handled millions of ACID transactions a day.

In tables with millions of rows. Uphill, both ways, in the snow.

I agree. I believe that until the past century, the default behavior was to provide the majority of your family's needs yourself and only go outside of that for a small portion where money would exchange hands. People lived on family farms where they grew their own food, made their own clothes, and built their own shelter.

It is not clear in the article if barter was considered in past GDP numbers (e.g. "I'll trade you my cow for the wagon you built.") These days everyone works for cash and often pays for services that they could easily do themselves.
No, they are remote-controlled Chinese unitree go2.

It depends on the species, we have Fagesia spec. (about 3m high) it is clumping not running. One of them is contained by a root barrier 1m deep, it stayed there for now 13 years, the other on is planted without a barrier and after 8 years it started "invading" the lawn - but very very slowly (about 20cm) - you just could use a spade to remove it every other year.
The barrier was just a very thick and stiff synthetic canvas.

yeah. the primary algorithm used by bbv was which titles, and how many, were sent to the store. i worked for bbv and picked up shifts at different stores around my metro area and it was always interesting to see which stores had the “indie” titles and which had the high volume, popcorn title new releases. one of the biggest titles i can recall was independence day. my home store got a decent amount, but then i covered for someone at another store the next weekend at a high volume store and the number of id4 new releases was insane.

another store i transferred to had a healthy supply of laser disc titles and members of the local professional basketball team essentially supported that store’s laser disc business.
This one coins many new phrases that will stick in my mind. Phrases like "Big teddy bears" are actually useful in that they roll up a subtle or complex idea into a pattern that we can then talk about. Similar thing happened with things like "Gatcha mechanics" in mobile games for me.

The context of the whole conversation is related to the Brazilian government silencing it's opponents:

Being allowed to criticize our government (and any government) is precisely the "free speech" Americans hold dear. Brazil doesn't seem to find that to be of value, hence the comment I made in response to someone saying X should comply with the government of Brazil: "I'm guessing you're not a huge proponent of free speech".
We noticed this crap when we rolled out MS365. We immediately told all users to not use the MS authenticator.

Missing Salamanders: Matrix Media can be decrypted to multiple valid plaintexts
There has been an incredible amount of principles and practices added to our profession. Most of which are silly. Like Clean Code which is just out right terrible in terms of causing CPU cache misses as well as getting you into vtable for your class hierarchies. Most modern developers wouldn’t know what a L1 cache is though, so they don’t think too much about the cost. What is worse is that people like uncle Bob haven’t actually worked in programming for several decades. Yet these are the people who teach modern programmers how they are supposed to write code.

I get it though, if what you’re selling is “best practices” you’re obviously going to over complicate things. You’re likely also going to be very successful in marketing it to a profession where things are just… bad. I mean, in how many other branches of engineering is it considered natural that things just flat out fail as often as they do in IT? So it’s easy to sell “best practices”. Of course after three decades of peddling various principles and strategies and so on, our business is in even worse state than it was before.

In my country we’ve spent a literal metric fuck ton of money trying to replace some of the COBOL systems powering a lot of our most critical financial systems. From the core or our tax agency to banking. So far no one have been capable of doing it, despite various major contractors applying all sorts of “modern” strategies and tools.

I did a shedload of programming in CP/M back in the 80s, and frankly I'd rather do it in Z80 assembler (assuming we were targeting Z80-based systems) than the rather poor compilers (not just C compilers) that were available. Using a compiler/linker on a floppy-based CP/M machine was quite a pain, as the compiler took up a lot more space than an assembler, and was typically much slower.

And I like writing assembler!
Bisphenol A - BPA - an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1950s.

BPAs and modern vaccines have been around for roughly the same length of time, so I find it interesting that the random facebook posts being spread about saying "there wasn't as much autism in olden times because they didn't have vaccines" might have been at least a little bit accurate, even if they were wrong about the cause(vaccines).

Also, BPAs have a lot of other affects and frankly shouldn't be allowed, even if this study isn't replicable.
One of the most genius “games” that I’ve seen in real life is Tesla’s offering of a roadster for a huge up front payment to pre-order (~$45,000).

They literally created a new product out of thin air that they are untethered to in terms of time or specs (except that it has to be able to accelerate with the force of a jet engine?) to “unlock” millions of dollars of cash flow to fund current operations. (I imagine this to be the brainchild of Zach Kirkhorn.)

I don’t know how many startups can employ “pre-order” tactics with their lack of brand power, but the basic essence is probably useful.
I unplugged my AirGradient a couple days ago. It's quite the useless piece.

The CO2 sensor does not read CO2 levels, and recalibrates automagically. I have completely wacky readings from it, from 200ppm to 2000ppm.

The VOC sensor also apparently does not read VOC levels, see discussion here: https://forum.airgradient.com/t/measurement-values-for-the-a....

All in all, I'm frustrated I fell for the regular free advertising they get on HN.
Take a look at linux, firefox or chrome code and tell me if you understand. That's a hell of a scale, if you are capable of doing better, you are the best programmer in the world. I think you are suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
An array can be used to efficiently simulate a linked list and other data structure, however. (Or an intrusive linked list may be embedded into the bucket structure like PHP, but this is less efficient with open addressing scheme which is nowadays better for cache locality.)
Well of course, the effect lasts as long as the food in question is being digested. The point is, it impacts the absorption of nutrients in the same meal, and the quantity of nutrients found in beans is exaggerated given that other compounds impair their absorption.

Friendly note to folks building unusual businesses.

Much of the received wisdom of Silicon Valley startup culture is centered on developing new markets that do not currently exist. This activity has a very specific set of risks and rewards and for that profile, the advice is generally sound.

If your business is attacking an existing market with entrenched players, more than half the advice is wrong.

Cedric does a great job navigating these differences IMO.
Yes, but that criticism already applies to the original iteration order before Go introduces a performance penalty by intentionally randomizing order on every iteration just so people can't rely on it.

Understood, but that is not a guarantee of hashmaps. Hashmaps, by themselves, are a concept independent of any programming language.

So, sure, I get that your expectations of a hashmap's behaviour was set by some programming language $FOO, and that it is reasonable to expect that someone who learned on $FOO has the expectation that a hashmap has a specific behaviour.

But, that being said, after you learn that a hashmap is a concept independent of any programming language, and after you learned that that concept does not guarantee the behaviour you expect, it's signficantly easier to change your expectations for hashmap behaviour than to change the definition of the concept's guarantees.

> They allowed Bitcoin because Bitcoin is basically useless for payments, it's too slow and fees are way too expensive. Though Ethereum recently slipping through the cracks may disrupt the payments industry in a big way.

Or authorities "allowed" Bitcoin because, given its lack of head to cut off, they had no choice.

Contrast with Ethereum's demonstrable central authority over its blockchain: When the developers were robbed of their coin by a hacker, they "reorganized" the Ethereum blockchain to undo the transactions associated with the theft.[0]

I regard Ethereum less as "slipping through the cracks" and more as a poison suppository greased and inserted by the powers that be.

If someone spends just one day on a video production set at any level, they will never pirate media again.
VLC is *amazing* at its design purpose: being a rock solid video player. The GUI, the UX, and other things can be criticized, but I dare you to find another video player that will play just about *anything*, and without having to install external codec separately with weird licence.

You can throw at it a broken mp4 file, a https url with basic auth, a weirdly encoded video, a DVD full of scratches, etc, chances are VLC will manage to play it (at least what is playable). There is just no other video player in the world that achieve that.

A lot of other video player might beat it at other features, but just straight video playing, VLC is just the best.
>“They want that dream job title, the perfect culture fit, and a supreme compensation package right out of the gate,”

I tend to agree with that quote, but what these young people may not realize, the longer you are unemployed, the harder it is to find work.

When I graduated, the job market was as bad and I believe far worse than now. I took a series of work unrelated to my BS Degree, eventually landing in Programming which is what I was aiming for.

I think these people should at least work, even if in an unrelated field, it shows the interviewer you are flexible enough to do anything.
