Interest in Prolog always ends with the "!". It is ugly and like smack in the head, "you are thinking too much".
C & C++ lack a particular sort of behavior that could solve a bunch of problems.

They've got undefined behavior: The standard imposes no requirements. Anything can happen. Assume the worst.

They've got unspecified behavior: Only covers behavior caused by an unspecified value or where the standard provides multiple choices, where the implementation need not document which choices are made in which situations.

They've got implementation-defined behavior: Unspecified behavior that the implementation must document.

They don't have a category for "Undefined behavior but the implementation must document". A lot of what is currently undefined behavior could better be put into this category, if it existed.
So firing is an opportunity, but you categorically avoid engaging with your employer out of fear of giving them pretense to fire you. something isn't adding up for me.
How narcos sneak fentanyl to the U.S.

>driving down micromanagement and all that, all it is is a fear response.

I completely agree, I've seen micromanagers like this. It's fear, and driving the fear is lack of trust. For a good and honest employee, if the founder steps down and says "hey I don't trust you" the instinct is to say "screw you, I'm coming at this honest and fair, working my tail off, now I don't really trust you either" and now it sucks for all parties.

A good leader in "founder mode" -- that's a school principal rolling up their sleeves, picking up a mop, and working shoulder to shoulder with the janitor. "This task is key, let's knock it out together". Maybe they don't have trust yet, maybe they have fear, who knows - but there's an open mind. They'll work together and the founder will figure it out through working together. If all goes well at the end there will be trust, respect, good culture. If it goes poorly now the founder can have a great sense that this was not a good hire. This leader understands that now the janitor will feel "seen", understood, that their work is very important, that leadership is supportive. And will work harder.

A poor leader in "founder mode" -- the school principal asks the janitor to check in every 30 minutes with mopping updates. The mopping will suffer due to the overhead, and constant adjustment to principal feedback. The principal will think "I'm going to put the heat on this guy, then that will make him work MUCH harder!" But in fact it will backfire, the janitor now thinks of the principal as a clown who knows nothing about mopping. The mopping update system changes every week, from every 60 minutes to every 15 minutes, then a mopping update app to increase efficiency. Then the IT department is asked to develop a mopping monitoring app. Ultimately the whole thing collapses and morale dies.

Both these allegorical stories are based on real YC founders I have worked with. Guess which company is wildly successful.

The irony for me is that the "let me put the pressure on this guy, he'll work harder" guy - actually on a personal level a very kind, compassionate, caring guy. Really means well, genuinely cares about his fellow man. Just has this model in their head that generally people don't work unless pressured to do so, like external pressure is a requisite to get anything done at all. My own view is that if a leader showers their people with kindness and respect -- builds loyalty -- then their reports will do anything to please that leader, granted this requires screening for good people during hiring.

Anyway, I think founder mode can be good or bad. It just intensifies either the toxic traits of a bad micromanager leader or it intensifies the positive traits and goodwill of a strong leader.
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it's obviously correct--there is no meaningful use for CHAR_BIT to be anything other than 8.

On the other hand, it seems like some sort of concession to the idea that you are entitled to some sort of just world where things make sense and can be reasoned out given your own personal, deeply oversimplified model of what's going on inside the computer. This approach can take you pretty far, but it's a garden path that goes nowhere--eventually you must admit that you know nothing and the best you can do is a formal argument that conditional on the documentation being correct you have constructed a correct program.

This is a huge intellectual leap, and in my personal experience the further you go without being forced to acknowledge it the harder it will be to make the jump.

That said, there seems to be an increasing popularity of physical electronics projects among the novice set these days... hopefully read the damn spec sheet will become the new read the documentation

An Open Source Cricket Scoring App: Khelo Made Using Flutter and Firebase
This is great; I hope it passes, even with our dysfunctional Congress. I've kinda given up on opting out at the airport because it's a bit of a pain to get shunted to a different line. (Yes, clearly I care a lot about this /s)

The facial recognition doesn't actually seem to save much (if any) time; the TSA people still run my ID through their little scanner thing. I don't have to scan my boarding pass, but I'd usually do that while they were dealing with my ID, and be done before they were anyway.

Clearly this is just a surveillance play. Or they think the facial recognition is going to weed out people using someone else's ID. Or it's a "cute" way to funnel tax dollars to whoever manufactures this tech.

A bit is a measure of information theoretical entropy. Specifically, one bit has been defined as the uncertainty of the outcome of a single fair coin flip. A single less than fair coin would have less than one bit of entropy; a coin that always lands heads up has zero bits, n fair coins have n bits of entropy and so on.

Well isn't that the deal when you're building a company around an open-source project? It's a bit childish to go after people that are better at making money of your open-source project. Maybe you should then just not go into open source, if you cannot handle these kinds of situations.

Unpopular opinion: That means for someone actually trying to bring explosives on board, they are looking at between 1/20 and 1/4 odds that they are caught and potentially deemed an enemy of the state, taken to a CIA black site, etc.

I'm not saying that the TSA is a cost effective deterrent, but I do think that that even with those odds there is a deterring effect. And its a jobs program! The US Gov spends money in worse ways.

Edit: and TSA is funded by airline fees, so not only is it a jobs program, it is paid for by a tax on the wealthy.
100%. Other than the millions of innocent we killed, this is the worst part of 9/11. This and surveillance... 9/11 really opened up the flood gates to abuse.
I’m much happier with the TSA having those scans than airlines and services like CLEAR. At least there are rules the government is held to about how the data is stored and privacy/deletion requirements.
Yours is the sort of project where if I had a boatload of money I'd just find it no strings attached through your project forecast. This would be such an excellent tool for artists with light pen integration.

Using a merchant of record is a good idea in 2024, now that every little jurisdiction wants you to collect their sales tax for them, and to remit that sales tax to them. (That wasn't always true.)

Stripe recently acquired Lemon Squeezy, another merchant of record, so maybe look into that. (Stripe Tax will help you collect the right amount of sales tax, but that's only half the problem. You still have to remit it to all the relevant jurisdictions.)

Other options are Paddle and FastSpring.

> At least when you cannot spare more than a few minutes of downtime.

I think it boils down to this. We used to constantly be running the obsolete pg version until it became an emergency mostly because upgrading with the tooling available at the time was very painful. Today however, we stay relatively up to date. Once you figure out the data replication, you can almost do blue green deployments on databases with almost no down time.
Grandparent was suggesting the hybrid approach where you select a handful of good candidate positions and then explore them (DFS) as far as possible. Which is pretty much how humans work.
Hi HN community,
We’re excited to introduce Khelo, an open-source, multi-platform app developed by our team at Canopas, using Flutter, Firebase, and Riverpod. Khelo is designed to help cricket teams—whether casual or competitive—manage players, track performance, and record match data effortlessly.

Key Features:

- Team and Player Management: Easily create teams, manage player profiles, and track statistics.
- Match Data Recording: Record toss results, scores, and detailed player statistics for every match.
- Performance Tracking: Monitor individual player performances over time and view team-level insights.
- Cross-Platform: Available on both Android and iOS, powered by Flutter for a consistent user experience across devices.

Why We Built Khelo: At Canopas, we're passionate about cricket and leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. We noticed a gap in tools for cricket team management, especially for local teams and amateur clubs, so we built Khelo to provide a simple and effective solution.

However, we would greatly appreciate any feedback on the app or the code, and if you find it useful, please consider giving the repo a star!

Check out the repo here: https://github.com/canopas/khelo

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I'm not convinced you can have your cake and eat it too. Not a dig at Rust specifically; it's more like, you can have managed memory, or manually manage it yourself. There is no in-between. The implementation ends up being a kludge. Terry had it right, just put everything in the lower 2 GB and DMA it.
This is awesome, thanks for creating this. I've had to write some absolutely wonky scripts to dump a PostgreSQL database into Parquet, or read a Parquet file into PostgreSQL. Normally some terrible combination of psycopg and pyarrow, which worked, but it was ad-hoc and slightly different every time.

A lot of other commenters are talking about `pg_duckdb` which maybe also could've solved my problem, but this looks quite simple and clean.

I hope for some kind of near-term future where there's some standardish analytics-friendly data archival format. I think Parquet is the closest thing we have now.
Well isn't that the thing about open-source software, that you can change the code and redistribute it? What is wrong about that? The WP Engine customers can ask WP Engine about that, it has nothing to do with Automattic.

Or WP Engine customers don't understand and are coming to Automattic for this? Well you can answer to refer to the WP Engine docs? You don't have to give them support if they're not your customer.
The current HN title is, ah, underselling the find here. We already knew tubeworms live "around" vents.
Maybe Lemon Squeezy? Stripe recently acquired them, so they're probably not going insolvent any time soon.

Because we don't really like it to begin with.

The RDBMS has not fundamentally changed much since the 80's. It's the same basic design inside and out, with a shitload of tweaks and optimizations. Don't get me wrong - you can get very far with tweaks and optimizations. But the foundations root you to a particular model, and some things in that model will always be painful.

The important question to me isn't why don't people upgrade. It's why do people run Postgres?

Is there no other kind of database? No, there are hundreds of different databases. Is it because Postgres does things fundamentally different and better than anything else? No, lots of things work somewhat like Postgres, with pros and cons. Is it because you can't do things without Postgres? No, there are always alternatives that you can make work. Is it because it's impossible for it to keep working without upgrading? No, any database with long-term support could continue working without upgrading.

So why use Postgres at all? Answer: it's the incumbency, stupid.

When a big fucking honking giant "thing" sucks up all the air in the room, provides for most of the use cases, and is accepted by all the users, then it's extremely hard to justify not using it. Incumbents usually win, even if they're old, disreputable, buggy, and annoying. Even if they're missing some obvious features other things have. Even if people loudly complain that they want change. It's just more annoying not to use them.

We're used to them. We've adapted. Trying to do something else is going to be annoying and hard. So we stick to what we know. But that doesn't mean we have to stroke the balls while working the shaft. Upgrading isn't exactly fun. It doesn't even buy us anything, other than the promise of "support", or "compatibility" with whatever else will eventually require it. So we upgrade, eventually, when we must.

But the constant mind-numbing march away from entropy isn't a fantastic reason to keep using the thing. When you have to convince yourself to stick with it, it's likely you're in an toxic relationship. If you're honest with yourself, you'll agree that it's time for a change. You deserve better.

But switching is full of unknowns. Ominous. Time-consuming. Hard. You know you want to, maybe even need to. But there's too much to lose. So you stick to the familiar, to what you can handle. Maybe something better will come down the pike soon. You even tell yourself you're lucky to be here. But deep down you know you're just comforting yourself. You wish you had something else. Something that brings you joy. Something better. Something... right. But that something isn't here right now. So until Mr. Right gets here, you'll stick with Mr. Right Now.

Time to get ready for the next upgrade..... sigh...
Video scraping doesn’t need to be just screen captures. I’ve demoed a solution with Gemini where you take a video walking up and down aisles in a retail store and it captured 100% accurate data on product name, quantity/size, sku, and price for a little under 75% of the products. And that was back in January.

This has huge implications for everything from competitive pricing, to understanding store layouts, to creating your own grocery store inflation monitor. Just subtly take a video and process it.

And the models have only gotten better.

There are plenty of people who don't fear death, but I think there are far fewer who don't fear getting disappeared by the CIA.
It's entirely possible they liked your idea but didn't think you were a good fit for other reasons. Or they found someone else who is a better fit. Or someone else had the same idea.

I don't think they should be obliged to hire you just because you had this one idea that helped them.

It's possible they were not interviewing you in good faith, but just wanted free advice. But that's impossible to prove, and several other explanations that don't require bad faith are entirely plausible.
Just used digital id today and it let me skip a massive line. Also really nice not having to show anything. They already got my biometrics from my passport and global entry, might as well get some benefit out of it.

I wish I had any idea on how to deal with the Elon situation. I genuinely believe SpaceX wouldn't be achieving nearly what it is without him, but he's obviously also going way off the deep end these days and it's uncomfortable to watch one man with that much power getting increasingly unhinged.

It's something I constantly wonder about, I strongly believe we should be taxing the absolute shit out of people and working hard to flatten society, but I also worry that we need insane people in power sometimes to get stuff done. Starship (hell, even F9) is an astonishing achievement and there's zero chance that innovation would be possible anywhere except SpaceX or another entity with very strong leadership (Valve or Steve Jobs' Apple if they made rockets)
I finished all my projects, met all technical requirements which I set for myself but I only met user requirements for one project. Hence I got paid. Ironically, it was the one which required the least amount of work and where I contributed the least socio-economic value. 3 years of passive income literally fell on my lap. I didn't even write a single line of code for that one. Just spoke to a bunch of people a couple of times.

It's definitely a lot easier if you set yourself goals which don't depend on other people. Having goals which depend on things that are outside of your control is a sure way to become miserable.

My point is that immigration in the US is somewhat different from immigration in most other countries. The US does a much better job of assimilating people from other cultures. How much this can be blamed on the immigrants, geography, or the host countries is debatable though. But instead of doing the American thing and ignoring everything outside US borders, as Americans almost always do, I think it's important to look at how things work elsewhere and see if there's lessons to be learned there.

Also, in my experience, the locality and unsafe api is better for testing purposes compared to unsafe language.
If I have an unsafe code that provides safe api with certain safety conditions.

1) I have a more ergonomic/precise/local contract to satisfy safety

2) Since this unsafe block is local, it is easier to set up its testing conditions for various scenarios. Otherwise, testing for bigger unsafe block (e.g. unsafe language) would also have to handle coupling between api from which ub originates and the rest of the code.
