>What are you doing with your apple watch that requires additional processing power?

Using apps on it. If all you want is the time and a heart rate monitor than yeah apple watch isn't for you.

>I mean... garmin beats apple hands down, so do other brands.

I meant day to day active monitoring not when you're in a workout.

>Almost every modern smart watch has this?

Yes and go check their battery life differences when it's turned on.

>'Having lower RAM literally doesn't matter if you can just use less.'

I can charge it when it's not needed.
Yeah, this is absolutely WILD. You can definitely hear it... wow.
I mean morally legitimate.
Processing the font itself also is at least 500ms to a second
depending on the device type.

I think that's off by quite a lot.

On my MacBook Pro I can dump one of the Helvetica Neue faces in one second with ttx (fonttools). If a python script can parse a font, create an XML representation, and write a pretty printed version of that to disk in a second then yea 500 ms seems really slow.

Hell, typst (rust) can render a PDF with two subsetted fonts (Apple Color Emoji + Cambria Math) in about 750 ms. I certainly hope Harfbuzz is at least that fast.
One theory I never seen considered is that the text means nothing, it's a distraction or later addition unrelated or loosely related to the main content, which is all on the pictures.

In other words, the pictures are the original thing and main content. I would guess they're not about bothanical stuff, but instead use names of bothanicals and other alchemical ideas from the era it was written.

My guess is based on the idea that plant names and alchemical ideas last a long ass time. They're perfect for encoding something meant to not be changed by common text-altering techniques (adding punctuation or accents to non-puncuated or non-accented languages, deriving letter-casing from non-cased letters and so on).

> Well, what would be considered a "really!!!" bad actor for some might be a hero for others. Just as an example, depending on which side of the Israel/Palestine conflict you are on, either side using your node for military intelligence might be an use worth fighting for or terrible abuse.

Stepping back though neither side in that conflict needs Tor. They both have numerous supporters in other countries where that support is legal. They can send and receive information through trusted outside supporters including some outside governments. They just need secure communication channels to a few representatives among those supporters rather than something is general as Tor.

> Partitioning has been supported for quite a while

My comment (which you're replying to) didn't mention partitioning at all.

> Logical replication...

My comment specifically said that logical replication of DDL statements is not supported out-of-the-box in FOSS Postgres, which is absolutely accurate. See the very first thing mentioned on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication-...

You can pay EnterpriseDB for a solution, among other vendors. That situation is far from ideal.

> PostgreSQL has gained autovacuum support.

That doesn't even remotely solve the inherent problems of Postgres's MVCC implementation. See https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2023/04/the-part-of-postg...
* Headers that are originally private, but are later changed to public

* Headers that are intended to be public, but then are changed to private

* Headers that were created in the very early days of the company, which are so deeply integrated into everything that renaming them is basically impossible (or at least very hard and risky)

* Headers that are set by some appliance/third party solution not controlled by CF, but which are technically internal and must be stripped.

* Newly acquired company has its own set of internal headers. Management is not amused when a huge, disrupting refactor is suggested by engineers.

And this is just a tip of the iceberg of possible problems when your scale is big enough.
> If you standardized them, it'd be a race to the bottom and China would win.

Is China not making most of the world’s batteries at this time? I don’t think this is a reason not to standardize.
Thanks!

I fully agree with the ecosystem comments; I’m just a Buck fan because it’s in Rust and I like the “no built in rules” concept, but it’s true that it’s much younger and seemingly less widely used. Regardless I should spend some time with Bazel.
It’s about like referring to a famous person’s red carpet attire as “off the shelf [designer name]”. It downplays the effort that went into it more than anything.
No worries + thanks for clarifying.

I do need to remind myself to slow down and check both GP and parent before responding (which is what I didn't do here), so it's all good, really.
With your package, how do you suggest users of your function handle the error upstream?

Like this?

switch {
case strings.Contains(err.Error(), "close thing foo"):
// deal with foo close error
case strings.Contains(err.Error(), "close thing bar"):
// deal with bar close error
}

And if so, what lead you or your organization to prefer "stringly-typed" errors over the idiomatic approach?

It's actually quite interesting how many of the early Googlers came from PL research backgrounds, and how it impacted Google's culture. Jeff Dean's thesis on whole-program optimization of Cecil/Vortex [1] was a classic even before Google got big, and eventually he got his boss Craig Chambers hired to write Flume [2]. Urs Hoezle (Google's first employee #9) was the founder of the Self project, which pioneered many of the dynamic optimization techniques that made it into HotSpot. Much of the HotSpot team itself was hired by Google, notably former Search SVP Ben Gomes and several less famous employees. The Plan 9 team (notably Ken Thompson and Rob Pike) went on to create Sawzall and then Go within Google; Ken Thompson was himself famous for creating C before then. Guido van Rossum (Python's creator) wrote Mondrian, the first code-review tool in Google. Lars Bak worked on BETA, then joined Urs to work on Self and Strongtalk before implementing the first version of V8 at Google. Dan Sugalski of Parrot & Perl 6 fame has held a bunch of infrastructure rules within Google.

It's like nearly everyone in a who's-who of the language design & compiler implementation community circa 2002 ended up working for Google, and the few that didn't (notably Chris Lattner of LLVM and Slava Pestov of Factor) ended up at Apple.

No, they didn't.

Columbus thought he could find a fast route to Asia because he grossly underestimated the circumference of the Earth. Spain was advised of this (the more correct circumference derived by Eratosthenes was commonly known), and only funded Columbus on the off chance that if he might stumble across something of value, they would rather that belong to Spain than a rival power. It was a cheap gamble for Spain at the time.
>Good luck trying to read a floppy from the 90s

The way I remember it, if you tried to read a floppy from the very early 90s, or from the 80s, you'd probably have no trouble at all, even many years later. You can probably still read floppies from the 80s without issue.

However, if tried to read a floppy from the late 90s, or 2000s, even when the floppy was new, good luck! The quality of floppy disks and drives took a steep nose-dive sometime in the 90s, so even brand-new ones failed.
So, LE observes:

- This IP had malicious activity or is otherwise relevant to a (maybe complicated) case
- It says "tor" on a landing page, or in WHOIS, or the IP is on the public list of nodes

... does "it will be 100% worthless to investigate" really follow from only this?

Some things to consider:

- All kinds of other servers, services or proxies could also be running on or behind this IP
- The node could be misconfigured in a variety of ways to keep forensic traces, even being a VM that is being snapshotted regularly
- Some lunatic could be running an exit on his personal machine, but just coincidentally to the observed criminal activity
- A high percentage of nodes is malicious, keeps logs, mines data, poisons traffic and tries opportunistic TLS stripping (those poor, naive souls clicking the warning away...)

It does NOT follow that there are no useful forensic traces to be found, not even that the traffic actually originates from the TOR network.

Not to encourage raids on node operators, but it is worthwhile to keep in mind that there could be actual reasoning behind these actions.

If you are smart about this, you can even get the relevant and obtainable info with little LE resources and without unduly harassing the operator.

I’ve had SSDs sitting for years thought it was safe. Should I be worried or is this a liability warning?
For single instances, this seems very true.

For complex multi-member clusters Maria/MySQL are quite far ahead.
I think that any creator of any tool should be faced on a regular basis with the harm that that tool causes and have to make the call on a regular basis if it's still worth it.
The thing about Hawaii is that there's very little that would pass by there unless it was going to or coming from Hawaii. So the idea that there's traffic around it heading in or out but not much else ... makes sense. There's extraordinarily little traffic across the mid-Pacific otherwise.

(This has strong implications fro the island states of the Pacific as well: they've got great water access ... but nobody goes there. Places such as Pitcairn see very few vessels, similarly for the islands of the South Atlantic.)

I'll see what I can dig up, you're nerd-sniping me.

>In the end, this really comes down to whether you value freedom or state protection more; either of which can be abused by rogue actors or a malicious state, respectively. There is no win-win-solution, unfortunately.

I want to argue for freedom, on the grounds that most people know whats best for themselves better than others, so on balance there should be more people using that freedom for good, but then most people are busy, and not as motivated or knowledgable of how to use that freedom as the malicious actors are.. so is that even freedom in the end?

So, yes, YAML's implicit typing is a landmine.

However, this could've been caught by a validator. Whatever is loading this config file should know that `gameServerVersion` is a string and when it got a number, it should've thrown an error. It could also further validate that it gets a hex string lest something feed it "Infinity".
I miss working at a place where that was encouraged. Now if I do that the testers complain that it’s not in scope for the ticket and to split the changes into another ticket with a separate test plan. The rot thus continues.
The American dream is all about owning property. What if you could put 3% down on a $1m purchase of a diversified index fund, and live wherever you want? A first time home buyer’s mortgage is essentially this, without the diversification. It would lead to less suburbanization for the sake of home ownership and more investment in the economy that everyone would benefit from.

>I imagine hard drives could also have bad capacitors but I haven't heard of that happening.

That's very unlikely. If you're thinking of the "capacitor plague" of the 2000s, that only affected electrolytic capacitors, since it was caused by the Chinese poorly copying the formula for capacitor electrolyte. I don't believe hard drives used electrolytic capacitors in that time period, simply due to their size, though I could be wrong.

I am saying that the media was enamored with her because she represented a shift rightwards compared to her predecessors, and that her campaign successfully shifted the leftmost acceptable economic policies to be to the right of the electorate.

In that the media vastly prefered her over Trump, it was because she was pro-establishment and better aligned with corporate interests, not because she was economically to his left. The case of Warren and Sanders (where famously the media was happy to compare Sanders to Trump, reinforcing the idea that their opposition to Trump is not due to his right-wing economic policies) as well as the comparison to previous Democratic candidates is evidence I think is much more compelling than the assumption of leftwing/rightwing partisanship.

AI ruling on jobless claims could make mistakes courts can't undo, experts warn
People have been using PostgreSQL for decades for web stuff. I think the first time I used it was around 2003 or so. The project goes back to 1996 (and even that was based on previous code going back to 1982).

I'm not saying PostgreSQL is perfect or the best choice for everything. That's obviously stupid. But claiming it's a "hype" is not a serious comment.
How about making the program work in the other direction. It could take one of those 30 minute youtube tutorial videos that is full of fluff and music, and turn it into an instructables-like text article with a few still pictures.
YAML is egregiously terrible. JSON is slightly better but still bad.

I want an interchange format that lets you declare the types on either side:

foo : f32 = bin : 0x42280000

Just let me explicitly declare the types and a kajillion problems go away forever.

Other than the recording redundancies described (raw analog logged, raw digital logged, raw paper chart created, cooked data logged, cooked paper chart, (raw | cooked each on tape, disk, paper) what are these "redundant systems" that you speak of?

Keeping in mind, of course, that the client has raw data, etc. on the contract as deliverables.

Do you imagine two full ships pulling two full microphone arrays to offset a rare (but happens) recoring failure? Now you've doubled the per dium costs and halved the area that can be covered in a typically short season.

Do you imagine one ship pulling two arrays that magically don't tangle? It doesn't work that way.

The goal here, of course, is to do all that as feasibly possible upfront in order to minimise aquisition time on the water and to ensure that all pings | booms | etc and their returns to multiple mic's recorded so the ship doesn't have to do a repass.

Expand on your non cargo culting non insane design ideas for 1970-1990s offshore seismic exploration by all means as what you intend isn't clear in your terse comment.

Ehh, not exactly, personally I wouldn't agree that the first half of that statement is correct.

I think it's important to stress that this article (press release, really) is about MariaDB plc being sold. That was the previously-publicly-traded commercial entity which develops MariaDB Enterprise and other paid solutions. But the MariaDB Community Server code base is maintained by the MariaDB Foundation, which is totally separate. (That said, MariaDB plc is the largest outside code contributor to MariaDB Community Server as well; but they're technically not the maintainers of it.)

It's also important to understand that MariaDB and MySQL have diverged in functionality over the years, and MySQL is still actively developed by Oracle, who have consistently put some serious engineering effort into it. Many folks on HN seem to think that MySQL died and MariaDB replaced it, as some sort of successor across a linear history; that's not accurate and in reality MySQL is extremely widely used.
The article describes such an issue but the assures that the oven magnetron doesn't run. Maybe it's a similar problem where the turntable and light come on in that situation.

All that is fine, but towing a car which is personal properly is not a proper method to obtain evidence. See, they can look up license plates and contact the owner to lawfully provide footage. If they towed mine, I’d sue the department for illegal taking under the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

“Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

So, buy my car from me above current value, including cost of obtaining a new car, and you can have your precious USB. Or just call me and I’ll send it to you for free.
That's because YAML is mainly intended for human interaction. Machine interaction is bungee-strapped later.

Same goes for CLI (shell), same for SQL. All the many bugs with them is because they are not for machines. Proper formats for machines don't have those issues (MsgPack, Protobuf, hell even XML/HTML is better).
"squelch codes" probably conveys the meaning more correctly.

people understand the idiom that just because your radio has squelch set (too high, perhaps) that it doesn't mean someone else can't hear it.

otherwise, CTCSS codes works fine, that's the technical description of what it is. and actually they call them "squelch tones" there. it's only motorola that branded them as "private lines", that's their trademark for an adequately-described term. Much like Tesla "Full Self Driving"/"Autopilot", it's kind of a misnomer and definitely breeds (deserved) confusion.

Years ago, I had a teammate that was always pushing me to try Cygwin. While I love a UNIX shell, Cygwin just felt... weird. The whole paths thing really turned me off. What pushed me to try it? He said to me: Why bother learning two shells (UNIX + DOS), when you can just use one (UNIX) everywhere? I couldn't find a good argument against it. I tried Cygwin, and, eventually (never?) got over the weirdness of paths.
And they keep improving - I think the latest revisions come with expanded flash for custom firmware.
