This is sort of an aside, but a very interesting thing about Postgres is that it can efficiently combine independent column indexes together, so there is much less of a need, compared to older databases, to even create multi-column indexes. It's a feature from 8.1 called "Bitmap Scan". Basically, if you create an index on column X and an index on column Y, it can use them to do queries involving either or both columns pretty efficiently (for any number of columns).

It's not as fast as a multi-column index, but the savings of not having to worry about all the combinations of columns that can be queried together could well be worth it.

JLCPCB also offers some services. Also, it's fairly easy to learn Easy EDA, especially if you leave the PCB layout to JLCPCB.
I seem to remember something like that. Here are some pros/cons for opting out of commingling which I don’t think that is possible with FBA, but would likely make the products ineligible for Prime I would assume, which is one of the main reasons you would want to use FBA in the first place.

> In summary, Amazon's commingling inventory can have serious implications for FBA sellers who are wrongfully accused of selling defective or inauthentic products. While the practice may improve efficiency, it can also make it difficult for sellers to prove their innocence in the event of false accusations. Sellers should be aware of these risks and take steps to protect themselves, such as opting out of commingling inventory or closely monitoring their inventory and customer feedback.

This is absolutely how I initially read it. I’m surprised the title was approved by their comms team!
Google is not being punished for being “open”. It’s being punished for pressuring OEMs and app developers into illegal contracts behind closed doors, or in other words using its monopoly position in anti competitive ways.

Apple published the rules for their App Store over a decade ago and has largely stood by them so Apple is not being punished.
Interest. From the article:

> "We are poised to return 100% of bankruptcy claim amounts plus interest for non-governmental creditors."

For what it's worth, the article also points out that Bitcoin has gone up 260% since FTX's failure, so if FTX had not collapsed, somebody hodling their BTC there might have earned 260% instead of 19%.
> Additionally, precision weapons typically have a much smaller logistical footprint, and logistics can make or break military campaigns.

Only if you exclude manufacturing.

> This "precision versus quantity" argument played out to greatly favor precision in Ukraine.

Until the allies of Ukraine fell behind on artillery manufacturing — allowing Russia to gain dominance and grind down the Ukrainian military.

That mass produced artillery out sustained precision munitions is a major lesson in Ukraine’s defeat.

FWIW there's a response from The Chieftain in the comments which has sparked a good discussion:

> Sorry, mate, but I really think you missed the point of the attack helicopter concept, at least in the modern Western concept. I can't speak as to either how the Russians think they should be using their helicopters in doctrine, or how they actually are using their helicopters in doctrine, but you seem to have completely ignored where the attack helicopter fits in as far as we in the West are concerned. The days of using attack helicopters in a troop support role to aid ground forces are long gone, except in cases of extreme emergency or very permissive environments. Instead, they are used as the division and corps commander's maneuver asset. MG Isenhower last week publicly described an evolution during an NTC rotation for a corps-level mission, the 1AD CAB sending both battalions from Fort Irwin to a target area over 250km away, (Conducted with incorporation into a Red Flag exercise to replicate the air and SEAD problem) and this sort of operation pretty much matches what I've seen helicopters be used for over the past four years' worth of division and corps level exercises. You can imagine the level of havoc which can be wreaked by one battalion, let alone two in the division and corps deep areas, by a unit capable of identifying and engaging its own targets in real-time from (relatively speaking) close range, whilst itself emitting a rather limited EM signature, and, of course, being entirely unjammable unlike long-range loitering munitions.

Its not so much about ensuring the best tool chain is used, but rather about setting the lowest bound of quality. By being slow moving it avoids the potential for temporary regressions.

It is also ass-covering by demonstrating you followed "industry standard procedure". If you do something different, even if it is quantifiably better, it might make for a stressful deposition explaining why the worse but standard approach wasn't used instead.
It feels like the whole software ecosystem: operating systems, 1st party app and 3rd party app developers, are all conspiring to keep us on the "buy, buy, buy" treadmill. I've got a perfectly good iPhone 7 and quite a few of the apps are no longer even on the app store, and my existing ones are starting to get "upgrades" that put up full-screen modal dialogs telling me the app no longer works on my phone. They can't even let me keep the old working app installed!

Not to even mention my old O.G. iPad 1 and iPhone 4 which both work as perfectly as the day I bought them, except that none of the software works and the app store is a total ghost town. Software developers are mostly to blame for obsoleting perfectly working hardware.
it was not.
What for making a mess on their land? Why does the government care? Probably because the government seized their land after they stopped paying taxes. So you want to punish them for not cleaning up the land that the government seized?

"Product Hunt definitely is a great place to launch — a place where many developer-first products launched successfully: Supabase, Resend, and Warp, to name a few.

According to similarweb.com, Product Hunt gets 4.8 million unique visitors every month, and according to Ahrefs, it has a 91 domain rating.

Product Hunt helps raise awareness, get feedback, and enable early traction.

Rishabh Kaul, Head of Marketing at Appsmith, who launched in March 2023 and ranked #5 Product of the Day, adds:"

As a founder of an app that is/should be a great fit for producthunt, I feel these reasons are not at all compelling. The days of producthunt's relevance are likely in the past as a flood of shitty ai projects have flooded the feed. I would be curious to know who cares about producthunt anymore.
Most carriers, especially in more populated areas, share the same towers.
Would it make you feel better if I told you that these kinds of offerings usually also don't offer modern validation tools like sanitizers? They expect people to just wing it with whatever the proprietary IDE happens to give them.

A big part of the job of safety critical development is knowing the difference between box checking best practices/regulations and building actually safe systems so you can do both.
> Not necessarily. Maybe both versions of it were from partial writes that were never committed, so your invariants are violated (if we're talking about e.g. a credit account A and debit account B scenario).

I'm pretty sure the scenario above is looking at committed writes.

If you're reading uncommitted writes, you're not really in the market for consistency to being with. (Or you could be handling consistency by waiting to see if the transaction succeeds or fails, making sure it would fail if the data you read got backed out. But in that situation nothing goes wrong here.)

> Depends on your isolation level. If your system has serializable transactions then it's supposed to give you a history equivalent to one where all transactions were executed serially, for example.

Even then, a new write can happen before your "read finished" packet arrives at the client, making the read stale. Your entire transaction is now doomed to fail, but you won't know until you try to start committing it.

For pure read operations, I'm not convinced it's a proper stale read unless the value was stale before the read operation started.

I've noticed two things about most news.

One they never provide sources. Not just their sources but sources behind figures or statements of truth.

Two it's hard to find articles that highlight different points than the leading article on the topic.
Google and Facebook do not indoctrinate their managers with Amazon management policies.
PimEyes says Meta glasses integration could have 'irreversible consequences'
I have done something like this with a Lanczos kernel (a=1) downsizing repeatedly by 2x, a small Gaussian kernel, and then repeatedly upsizing by 2x with simple hardware bilinear sampling.

The (2D) Lanczos downsizing can be done with only four samples using the bilinear sampling tricks that you mention, and I avoided expensive trigonometric functions, divisions, and the singularity at 0 by using an even 8th order polynomial approximation. I would be curious to see the results using this kernel, but the Lanczos is so far the best that I've tried.
I try to make stuff last as long as possible - not because it saves the environment or even saves me money. Making old stuff last a long time (seemingly) gives me an endorphin hit.

That being said, I get an even bigger endorphin hit from knowing that people can (mostly) buy whatever they want, even if stupid, unnecessary and wasteful by my criteria.
> The problem is that we will have proprietary software (distributed for free) doing bad things, and people blame their phone being slow.

The solution to this remains the same as ever: curation of software packages. You can install any app you want, but you're probably going to use some front-end to manage that (Play Store, App Store). It's up to those platforms to curate what apps they host, and up to the user to delegate safety c he checks to platforms they trust.

The article also does absolutely nothing to motivate the choice of Rust. It's not like it's hard to find a better language than C or C++, so why Rust? Ada seems like it wasn't even considered, as the only mention of it was at the person's first job, some 15 years earlier. For example, if running on Android was a requirement, what made Rust a better choice than say Java or Scala?

The article doesn't explain anything as to why Rust was chosen and why it was (supposedly) a win, as anything mentioned as a plus is superficial enough to be covered by dozens of other languages.

Reading this makes me change my view on PE a little. Beforehand I would have just been in the "PE is bad" camp. But if you look into how a PE company like Silver Lake works and their prior purchases, it's not asset stripping. It seems much more like taking a bet they can turn an underperforming public company into a well performing private one and cash in the difference, usually with a partner who has a plan on how to do the turnaround.

That's not to say it's good. It's just another investor tool like VC money. And it's probably also a simplification to say it's all about short term profit when they talk about being able to take companies on longer term strategies than the public market would allow for.
Heh, it's pretty easy to build UE5 locally. Download visual studio whatever the newest version is and then install the extensions using the visual studio installer for unreal engine game making and then it will automatically pick all of the dependencies and then just clone the repo and run the CMD files and then it builds the project file and then open that up in visual studio and then click build...
> The fact that the certified toolchain is just the normal, publicly available one is great too.

And speaks to the standards of quality that the project holds itself to.

What makes Rust special over other programming languages and operating systems and software systems that have LTS releases? For example, .NET and Ubuntu have LTS releases.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Each carrier would have to make a deal with SpaceX. Doesn't matter if they share the same tower. If SpaceX is interfering with their frequency band, they are going to file a complaint with the FCC
Unless you're counting a lot of definitions of "indirect involvement" (eg including things Israel does on its own and any proxy wars the Saudis start), you're going to have a hard time counting to 1 million civilians with any authoritative sources. Most of the civilian deaths in the US's "war on terror" were to IEDs and other devices set up to kill Americans.

People who create studies suggesting those wars killed 5 million people include a lot of ludicrous definitions of "killed" to get numbers that big.
it violates the consistency rule.
it must get the value that it was written
I was recently looking into things along these lines, and my understanding of Ferrocene is that it's just regular Rust with extra tests added. I'd love to know if that's accurate or not. If it is accurate, I've wondered why Rust doesn't just include those tests in the core build.
Out of curiosity, which SBC? Helios4 / Helios64 by any chance?

One gotcha could be that if some of the specified components aren't available (or, worse yet, EOL'd with no pin-compatible replacement), that could would necessitate more PCB work.

It Doesn't Matter: Civilisation Is Collapsing
By default inventory is tracked by seller specific FNSKU's and is not comingled. Sellers have to explicitly opt in and jump through additional hoops for their inventory to be tracked using GTIN's whereby their inventory will get comingled with inventory with other sellers who opted for the same.

This seems to be the takehome. The helicopter has to be a drone operator and behave very defensively, with effective active measures.

> Given the right network integration and the right weapons, you could inflict a deal of pain in a fairly basic helicopter while staying well out of the way of any air defence. You still have to protect yourself against chance encounters – partisans or special forces with shoulder-launched weapons, for example. This appears easier said than done.
It’s a simplified version of x86 that is 64bit only. It removes all the backwards compatibility for 32/16bit apps, as well as a number of low level features that aren’t really used/needed (legacy IO, old versions of SSE, memory segmentation, etc). Currently in the “investigation” phase by Intel.

While I've seen BQN mentioned previously on pages that discuss APL, K & J I finally took a look at it.

I've got to say, it's a really impressive language. Very well thought through, it brings some nice ideas. And as someone still newer to the space, it seems to do a great job of eliminating some of the unnecessary complexity of other languages. The straightforward approach on syntax / parsing is really fresh air.

“ I've launched 42 dev tools on Product Hunt in the last 2 years — or maybe 55? To be honest, I've lost count.” That is a valid reason to NOT launch a product there. Imagine the bloat level and how difficult would it be to emerge.
Yes it’s really good (it’s not awkward at all) and it’s optional if you don’t want to use it. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, timestamps are not immutable. The system clock can be miscalibrated or even deliberately manipulated. It is however something of an open question. CAP is still a bit lacking in terms of rigorous mathematical proof (albeit the arguments are pretty convincing).

Most of these counter-drones would start out dumber rather than leaping to the end state.

A megaphone is pretty loud and doesn’t require kilowatts. Sure it’s directional, but it would be good enough in a sweep pattern to trigger sleeper drones. That would necessitate triangulation and counter-countermeasures.

Yes, Ferrocene is able to be qualified more easily in part by how good upstream development practices are. A lot of qualified compilers need to be written from scratch because the existing compilers do not do testing and other things that are required for qualification, but the upstream Rust project has a development process far closer to a safety qualified compiler than not. It’s something worth celebrating about rust as a project.
No clue what you're talking about. What device do you use? On a Pixel (Google's phone) you download it, then you open it (it warns you that it could have anything) and then it is installed.
> It's an extremely annoying situation for users

Is it? I regularly use Steam, Epic and XBox and occasionally Ubi, Larian and whatever the GoG one is called... and it's fine. It's just another program.
I even think on embedded it's overblown in terms of not being able to use a GC language. C#, F#, OCaml, Java (and I suppose all JVM languages), Erlang, Elixir, etc. can run on embedded devices, including some microcontrollers. In my opinion, the software industry has dug its head in the sand thinking that only "hard-core" languages can be run on embedded systems. Even LabVIEW could be a choice if the limited SoM hardware selection is okay. It's just as performant (if not more so for multicore systems) and infinitely safer than C/C++.

In my understanding, no additional tests, but some additional platform support.

The issue isn't more tests upstream, it’s more the chain of responsibility for guaranteeing that results are connected to the specification and all of the paperwork that’s required, and ensuring it is accurate.
Right. It's no more acceptable for Amazon, Google, Apple, or Roku to have my data than the TV brand. But it's hard getting away from all of them.

This is not true. A trademark is only required for Amazon's brand registry which gives brand owners control over who is allowed to sell their branded products.
I'd be a bit more open to your view if the role being sought was relatively entry-level or modestly compensated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't total comp for a Staff Engineer likely to be $400,000+?
Oh FWIW, the sessions I remember most vividly were for the first Shrek movie, which was printed to actual film, projected to a theater screen, and final render was at slightly lower than 1080p resolution. The digitizing to film does add a little blur, of course, but not a lot since the resolution was so low and the pixels so big. The filter did kinda matter, and the compositors did not add extra blur in this case. I was highly impressed with how sensitive the director and lighting/fx supes were to filter differences, and how quickly they could spot them in animated clips that were often less than one second long. The main thing they were doing was trying to avoid texture sizzle without overblurring.
There were no T-80s in Iraq or Kuwait.
In fairness, the Abrams in the Ukraine are ancient export-version M1A1s. The current US standard is A2v4. Other than basic shape, the technology is completely different and several decades apart, the armor bears almost no relation. A lot of the old export Abrams had armor similar to the Israeli Merkava tanks, it didn’t have a lot of similarity to what the US used.

Something that gets lost in these discussions is that the US does continuous “Ship of Theseus” upgrades to their systems and they mostly don’t export the state-of-the-art. Abrams armor in US systems is regularly completely replaced with new tech but the details are classified and not exported.
