This is a custom expression language to work within the expressive limitations of the language:

create.select(BOOK.TITLE)
.from(BOOK)
.where(BOOK.PUBLISHED_IN.eq(2011))
.orderBy(BOOK.TITLE)

If Java supported LINQ you'd be able to use a more intuitive and natural Java expression syntax instead:

create.from<Book>()
.where(x -> x.publishedIn == 2011)
.orderBy(x -> x.title)
.select(x -> x.title);

There is a possible upside to my business for doing such a thing, and little downside, so I'd probably do it. It's not the sort of podcast I'd be interested in listening to, though, unless I was already interested in whoever the guest is, or unless the topic was a particularly interesting business failure. I've found that success stories are of little value, but failure stories can have a great deal of educational value.

I was presently surprised by the password requirements when I created a bugzilla account just the other day.

- Password must be at least 12 characters long.
- And the password must also contain either of the following:
- A phrase containing at least four unique words of three characters or longer
- or password contains at least 3 of the following qualities:
- uppercase letters
- lowercase letters
- numbers
- punctuation characters
- or more than 12 characters

I went with the phrase option.
Gravitar isn't such a terrible idea, just look at how successful something like Linktree is. The problem with Matt's ventures in general is that they're half-assed. Wordpress.com sucks compared to Wix.com. Gutenberg sucks compared to Webflow, etc. Even WordPress sucks as a CMS which is why people even needed stuff like ACF in the first place. Like why in 2024 any CMS wouldn't have that functionality baked in makes no sense to me, unless as you say you just think of it as a blogging platform like it's 2004.

Wait, what? If the government source is public domain, OSM (or anyone else) can take it and derive from it and can then impose whatever license OSM wants, including an attribution requirement. Did you mean the other way around?

Actually OSM's license is so weak on the attribution it requires, that OSM does not ingest CC-BY data, because OSM believes their further distribution would not satisfy CC-BY's attribution requirement.

Ancient version like 15 or 16? I have recently encountered a PostgreSQL 12 instance.

Once the database runs you are inclined to let it keep on running until you must do an upgrade (Bugfixes, EOS) . Upgrading for new features/ improved performance is nice but can be a pain and is prone to cause downtime. PostgreSQLs upgrade tolling story is also a bit painful but it has proven to be an awesome way to semi-regularly test my backup infrastructure.

Yes it still happens pretty regularly, but in recent years people have gotten a lot better at using libs, so passwords are salted and hashed with a slow algorithm which substantially increases the difficulty of hashed attacks by makign it computationally expensive to hash every password. These days it's not uncommon for it to take months or years to crack 50% of the passwords in a dump. If your password has sufficient entropy, it may never be cracked. Modern GPUs can parallelize across their numerous cores, but statistically a brute force isn't going to work. Hybrid dictionary attacks are where it's at, and if your password is random (pseudo-random) then a dict attack won't work.

Modern password hashing is very good.

This is not the most outrageous thing about taxpayer money at work that I learned today.

That would be the fact that local branches of the ministry of agriculture require wind turbine builders to put blue dyed water in concrete to make it friendly to all life or something, I'm not sure I understand, it's called Pneumatit®, and I'm not making this up.

It's biodynamics, it's biogeology (neither biology nor geology, not an actual science, it's more like dowsers). It's not only about wind turbines, it's in so many buildings now, but because it's not only approved but required on some public projects, it's... interesting. It's homeopathy for concrete, and like homeopathy in France, it'll receive government subsidies for far longer than it should.
Welcome to France! France is built on the idea that the public can't be trusted, has not really reached adulthood (won't ever) and needs to be coached by an army of civil servants whose job is to protect the State and its finances.

It's not corruption, exactly; it's the idea that the interests of the State are paramount, and everything else doesn't really matter.

If the State sells reproductions of Rodin's work, well then you shouldn't be allowed to, and you certainly aren't entitled to any kind of help.

Show HN: Relevant – Explore the depths of YouTube without the algorithm
Hey HN!

Over the past few years I've been working on a new website called Relevant, and today I'm launching it under a beta!

YouTube has been my primary source of entertainment for many years. However, I've found that with recent iterations of "the algorithm", YouTube continues to serve me the same types of videos every single day. If you watch one video about a new game, YouTube then tries to show you 50 more videos about that game for the next week. I was frustrated with this experience and wanted a way to find new types of content on YouTube without waiting for it to be surfaced organically by the algorithm.

Relevant is a crowdsourcing website aiming to catalogue all of YouTube. We represent every possible category of content available on YouTube as a DAG, starting from the most vague like "Science" and "Gaming" down to the most specific like "Laptop Reviews" or "Car Mechanics". After logging in, users can iterate through a list of their subscriptions and vote for which category best represents the content for each channel. After enough users have voted for a channel, we assign that category to the channel. These channels are then discoverable through the explore page, with a separate trending page to highlight notable hot or new categories.

On Relevant I hope that people can find new areas of YouTube by seeing what other people have been watching, or by browsing through the tree of categories. Once we have collected enough data, I plan on introducing a recommendation system that can even recommend other channel categories that may be interesting to you. For now, though, I've written a blog post [1] for the beta launch that goes into more detail about the rationale behind the website and the limitations during the beta launch.

I hope other YouTube fans find value in Relevant and I look forward to learning more about what YouTube has to offer from all of you!

That's the one. Alas, the website precedes my so far best attempt at explaining what I've done, which is this paper, and I haven't had time to properly update the site since.

How many times per second is the DB actually accessed? As far as I can tell my the metrics, they're doing ~1.7 requests/minute, you'll have a hard time finding a DB that couldn't handle that.

In fact, I'd bet you'd be able to host that website (the database) in a text file on disk without any performance issues whatsoever.
Wow. Apparently that's when AES and Triple DES were introduced, which can't be coincidental.

A couple things in this story make me think that we don't have enough information to know whether or not it is a big deal:

1) It is the CTO who had not thought of the growth idea, not the person in charge of sales/marketing/growth. So it might not have been so novel after all had OP been talking to the people who really would have used it. Likewise, because it was a non-technical topic, it may not have been relevant to what the actual role being hired for was. Would you hire an engineer based on a good idea completely unrelated to their potential role?

2) It is possible that the company did not intend to steal an idea but were handed one anyway. Based on the post, we don't even know if the interviewer asked for the idea, or if OP volunteered it. What are they supposed to do? Are they expected to say, "Well, we have this great idea in front of us that can triple our growth, and yes it came about through a valid internal process, but not the marketing team, so we should not use it."

3) Unless the interview put OP and the company on bad terms somehow, there is nothing stopping them from dropping the CTO a line and saying - "Looks familiar - did some of that come from our conversation?" and see where that goes.

So yes, some type of recognition might be appropriate if it was a novel idea that truly came from this specific interview, but we have no way of knowing whether or not that is true, at least not unless OP tells us more.
No, it's not that. That uses real words, e.g. correct-horse-battery-staple.
As someone that built an EMR that sold to Epic, I think I can say with some authority these studies don't suggest this is ready for the real world.

While tech workers are unregulated, clinicians are highly regulated. Ultimately the clinician takes on the responsibility and risk relying on these computer systems to treat a patient, tech workers and their employers aren't. Clinicians do not take risks with patients because they have to contend with malpractice lawsuits and licensing boards.

In my experience, anything that is slightly inaccurate permanently reduces a clinician's trust in the system. This matters when it comes time to renew your contracts in one, three, or five years.

You can train the clinicians on your software and modify your UI to make it clear that a heuristic should be only taken as a suggestion, but that will also result in a support request every time. Those support requests have be resolved pretty quickly because they're part of the SLA.

I just can't imagine any hospital renewing a contract when their support requests is some form of "LLMs hallucinate sometimes." I used to hire engineers from failed companies that built non-deterministic healthcare software.

6k visits per week * 5 page views per visit is one view per 20 seconds on average. Even very modest hardware with naively written application code should have no problem handling thousands of CRUD database queries per second (assuming every query doesn't need a table scan or something).

It depends on what "easy" means to you, but assuming some minimum level of "easy" I would agree. I typically encourage people to think in pass phrases instead of pass words, like the xkcd[1] except throw some personal variances in there. A substituted misspelling, a fake word, intersperse some meaningful numbers, (basically anything to make the standard dictionary attack algorithms fail at generating your password).

Many people experience adverse effects that come from concrete - regardless of the design. This ranges from slightly subliminal discomfort to irritability, inner cold sensations, joint pain, exhaustion and organic disorders. Underlying such sensations is a reality, because the production of cement breaks through the bottom of the natural processes of life.

I haven't argued that at all and I'm not saying we can't measure it and understand it.

Well, on Thinkpad (which, unlike many, is actually intended to support Linux users) you have to specifically charge something in BIOS to make it work, so one at least has to be aware. Also, I have some old Asus lying around, which after some update started having a lot of trouble with both going to sleep and waking up. Never figured out what it was, I didn't really need it anymore, so now it's just lying somewhere in the closet, maybe will use it for something someday.

So, no, "no problems" is a bit of overselling it.
