That has not been my experience at all. The sysadmins I have worked with have strongly preferred PostgreSQL over running MySQL while the developers have cared, but less so. The reason is that when something goes wrong PostgreSQL is much easier to diagnose. So while some tasks like upgrades take less manual effort with MySQL PostgreSQL is more stable and gives better error messages for when you get paged in the middle of the night.

PostgreSQL has prioritized correctness and stability which while it has made certain features more clunky to use or taken longer time for them to be implemented, when you get paged n the middle of the night you get the time you spent back. PostgreSQL also has spent a lot of time on improving DBA experience so mixed DBA/sysadmins also usually prefer PG.
So, is this just a way to do early measurements, to determine if someone might develop ADHD later.

Not any indicator of things to 'do' to help not develop ADHD later? No actions to take?

" In contrast, during reward delivery, activation of the bilateral insula, right pallidum and bilateral putamen increased with EFA. There was a significant association of lifetime ADHD symptoms with lower activation in the left ventral striatum during reward anticipation and higher activation in the right insula during reward delivery."

When you're down to 90% of them only providing location (unless you stop caring about topology), it's no longer as clear-cut. I was only really arguing against the implication that it's "funny" to use nodes; the topological connections and normalisation/deduplication do have advantages and it looks like a reasonable technical decision to have made.

I also imagine that creating new topological connections may become trickier when most locations are 'hidden' in ways.

However, I do hope you find a common way forward that reduces the apparent redundancy and excess processing/storage requirements.

A few months ago, I started my indie app developer journey and released my first mobile app. I’m currently working on my second app and wanted a way to showcase my app portfolio, track revenue and download stats, and share my progress with others.

I knew about IndiePage, which is great for web apps using Stripe. I wanted to use it for my own mobile apps, but it wasn’t designed for that, and I couldn’t find any alternatives for mobile developers. So, I decided to build my own solution.

That’s how AppShowca.se was born, a platform that lets mobile app developers display all their apps on one page, complete with revenue and download stats directly from App Store connect.

You can add apps manually or import them directly from the app store with your developer name. With just a few simple steps, you can also connect the API for App Store Connect to track your stats in real time.

If you’re a mobile app developer like me, looking for a way to easily share your app portfolio, check it out.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Whether it’s testimonials, feature ideas, or suggestions to improve the platform, I’m all ears.
Or you could read the article and use common sense?

> At first, AirWayBill’s managing director, Khaled Sehly, declined to discuss whether the app could be breaking any TSA regulations, asking to go off the record. (I refused.) He then asked me to wait four weeks until they had real users, saying that the reviews left on the app were actually from peers rather than customers. In our next series of broken calls, Sehly directed me towards the app’s terms and conditions and privacy policy, which he says were designed by a reputable law firm. Section 8 of the terms and conditions states that users must comply with technical and legal obligations and restrictions, including customs rules. However, it also indemnifies AirWayBill for liability related to shipments, stating that “any request will be made or accepted at the Members’ own risk” and that unless it’s explicitly specified otherwise within the platform, “AirWayBill’s responsibilities are limited to the correct functioning of the app and its service to the interested parties.”

> Unfortunately for wary couriers, AirWayBill is not planning on running background checks on anybody using their services. Sehly says that delivering packages for strangers—or at least friends of friends—is something that he’s seen done in an unregulated way in the Middle East and parts of Europe, with people asking if someone could deliver items ranging from documents to baby food to their families. Still, the possibility of inadvertently smuggling who knows what still remains. “We always urge people not to carry anything that they are not super confident about,” Sehly says, pointing out that deliverers can inspect the items they plan on transporting.

So the company is obviously taking the caveat emptor aka “f around find out” approach. Drug smugglers already have a lot of skill hiding drugs in seemingly innocuous items (sewn into teddy bears, etc.), so it is not at all an “aggressive assumption” to think being a courier with this service has potentially life changing (i.e. incarceration) risks.
Second time in as many weeks, when there’s been hardly a peep for the past 2 years.

What copyright law? If I possess an out-of-copyright document, nothing requires me to make a copy for you when you ask me.

They're ignoring the French freedom-of-information law; copyright law doesn't even touch the issue.

> Has anyone used these in games?

No doubt someone has put some of them into games. However, most likely not in it's original shape/form, as the scans usually produce highly inefficiently (but high resolution, great for renders) meshes. The meshes from scans tend to be a mess, and when inserting a 3D model for games, you care a lot about how optimized the meshes are, and that the mesh has a low polygon count as otherwise you'll tank the performance quickly.

So since a developer couldn't just copy-paste the model into the game (requires a prepass to fix issues/optimize before import), it'll take valuable time from other things for just this easter egg. Again, no doubt someone has done this at one point or another, but that's probably why it isn't as common as someone could think.

As an example, take a look at the wireframe of the Rosetta Stone (https://i.imgur.com/rtpiwjZ.png | https://github.com/BritishMuseumDH/rosettaStone/blob/master/...) and you'll see what I mean. For a high quality rock-like object, you'd probably aim for 2000-5000 triangles, while the Rosetta Stone scan seems to have 480,000 triangles straight from the scanning software.

Sadly, it's simply too much detail to be able to import straight up. Luckily, Nanite ("Virtualized Geometry") and similar implementations starts to give us tools so we can stop caring about things like this and let the game engine optimize stuff on the fly.
> Speaking of caring, Intel and AMD never produced a ecosystem around OpenCL in IDE tooling, GPGPU debugging and libraries that could rival CUDA.

This is a critical step for the adoption of any technology - developer ergonomics should never be neglected, even more so when your competition doesn't.
Maybe you've been unlucky but LINQ didn't really seem all that interesting to me using it.

It's pretty well put together but it was very hard to work out the patterns of what it was doing underneath e.g. I could not tell you now how to implement a custom IQueryable (I know where to look but couldn't tell you the rhythms of it) for some database and I am the type of person who usually does go and find that kind of thing out before using something for a "serious" project.

Maybe it's just a microcosm for C# as a whole - very productive language, good design team, quite hobbled by it's weird/philistine upbringings: Bjarne said within C++ there is a simple language trying to escape, in C# you basically have a simple language buried in nouns.

Of course, sqlite is even easier on the sys-admins, (but not necessarily the right tool for the job.)
F# is even better. I only wish performance wasn't hit or miss around sequences/iterator expressions. Hopefully one day it will reach parity with C# through compiler improvements and/or detaching FSharp.Core from conservatively targeting NS2.0 and modernizing it.

>OpenAI plans to loose $5 billion this year

Let that sink in for anyone that has incorporated Chatgpt in their work routines to the point their normal skills start to atrophy. Imagine in 2 years time OpenAI goes bust and MS gets all the IP. Now you can't really do your work without ChatGPT, but it cost has been brought up to how much it really costs to run. Maybe $2k per month per person? And you get about 1h of use per day for the money too...

I've been saying for ages, being a luditite and abstaining from using AI is not the answer (no one is tiling the fields with oxen anymore either). But it is crucial to at the very least retain 50% of capability hosted models like Chatgpt offer locally.
I haven’t used Galera, but I am very happy with https://patroni.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for Postgres.
The same is true for MariaDB so I have no idea what he is talking about. Both databases have multiple options.
I mean, I think it probably depends on your use case, but yeah, it is, at the very least, dying.

It's been a few years, and my memory isn't perfect, but...

Life support for a manned Mars missions runs maybe ten tons per person on the low end. That's mostly in shelf-stable packaged food; I used 6 tons in my estimate. Metabolizing food generates excess CO2 + H2O; elaborate ECLSS systems can crack this for extra oxygen and filter the water for further consumption and sanitation. This food dominates mission payload mass. It's heavier than the rest of the habitat put together. You have to put it to good use - line the interior of the hull with it and it serves as radiation shielding for the journey. You could try getting the CO2 + H2O back into hydrocarbon-lox fuel if you like, but that's going to make a fragile critical path for getting home.

The base hardware for Mars and the people for Mars are going on basically the same Hohmann transfer, and they're using it because it's the cheapest way. There are faster ways involving the help of Venus' gravity well, but they're only SLIGHTLY faster, they burn a lot more fuel, and more importantly they only occur briefly every few years. A more rapid direct transfer is possible at the cost of enormous amounts of fuel, but the purpose of that transfer is a 'flags and footprints' mission where you save about a third of your 3-year mission time at the cost of reducing your exploration and ISRU time window from a year to weeks. "Opposition class mission" vs "Conjunction class mission".
Honestly, i've lived on and off a hippie commune in Europe for four years (18-22), and spent a month in one in the Appalachia (not during winter, so i had a limited view of the living conditions), they are good place to live in general (when you're young at least, but i know a half dozen of oldtimers). I've experienced a great deal, discovered a lot about what i like and not, and overall had a lot of fun, and a boatful of good memories (and i have _great_ parents and siblings, so it's not in contrast of anything).

Those memories really helped later in life, so if you find one and like the people there, maybe just try it? It's fun. And if more young guys tried, i guarantee the incel culture would disappear.
It is quite strange with these US movements where you are a 'vaxxer' or 'pro choice' or whatever in the same way you are 'rocker' or 'punker'. Like some identity.

The punker movement seems strong there.

Does OpenAI have any fundamental advantage beyond brand recognition?
While technical AI and LLMs are not something I’m well versed in. So as I sit on the sidelines and see the current proliferation of AI startups I’m starting to wonder where the moats are outside of access to raw computing power. Open AI seemed to have a massive lead in this space but that lead seems to be shrinking every day.
The GEC Series 63 [1] was used in the Alvey programme. I was a founder of a startup that used a 63/40 to provide a (pre-internet) online service over X.25 links. It was a bit too different to a VAX to be able to easily port standard AI software to it.

The GEC 4000 series was what was used for the Nimrod AEW and for other real-time applications as well as for X.25 networking around the UK.

That seems to benefit large corporations at the expense of smaller artists. Either you focus on making money or some large corporation will swoop in the second you can't and exploit your work for their own profit.
Some might disagree (believing that the system package manager should be responsible for the PostgreSQL install), but I agree that the approach you’re using is one of the better ones.

That way you can update the database version when you want, while still installing the base system updates quite frequently. Plus, I think it’s really nice to separate the runtime from the persistent data, which such setups make obvious.
Rust has two possible behaviours: panic or wrap. By default debug builds with panic, release builds with wrap. Both behaviours are 100% defined, so the compiler can't do any shenanigans.

There are also helper functions and types for unchecked/checked/wrapping/saturating arithmetic.

OK, so since I've never actually bothered to look at what LINQ actually is.. there may be others in the same boat: "LINQ allows you to query any enumerable collections such as List<T>, Array, or Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.". Got to admit I still find the LINQ to DB passtru rather opaque even after reading up on it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30716776/passing-a-query...

Basically allowing for a uniform way to query data which is reminiscent of a more modern version of SQL (in my optics anyway). Does anything library wise come close to this within the Golang ecosystem?
> Eww don't pinkwash genocide.

You're just not responding to anything I actually said or anything I actually believe.

You asked why not give Palestinians "equal rights", meaning make them citizens of Israel with voting rights. I answered with why I think this would effectively roll back many liberal values of Israel, including LGBT rights, not to mention be an enormous risk for Jewish Israelis.

That has nothing to do with pinkwashing anything, I didn't say anything about the war (or what you call "the genocide"). You just haven't responded to my point, at all.

> It's wild to imply Israelis are great to the gay community.

The areas under full Israeli control are great for the gay community. Not perfect, and some areas of Israel are better than others, but far better than many countries.

It seems like in your zeal to only say bad things about Israel you refuse to actually see reality as it is.

> And don't forget that I cited to you how Israel did eugenics on the Ethiopian Jewish community until at least 2013.

I didn't forget, but I don't know anything about this topic at all and didn't have time to look into it. I don't comment on things I know nothing about, no matter what "side" it's on.

> That is just mass hysteria. There are many diaspora Jews who feel safe where they currently live and acting like all Jews think Israel is the only safe place for them is actual antisemitism. Jews are not a monolith.

Ok I was speaking with some hyperbole, but historically, except for the last 80 years, Jews have been discriminated against, killed or kicked out of most countries of which they are minorities.

Anyway, I just don't understand what is your actual view about the world, other than "Israel bad".

What do you think would happen if 7 million Palestinians become citizens of Israel and are granted the vote? What does that state look like in twenty years? That's what you're advocating, I want to understand what you think would happen.

> A ceasefire? I just told you hours ago that the first thing I really care about is a ceasefire.

Look, I'm in favor of a ceasefire. You are too.

I'm in favor of arriving at a peaceful solution that both sides are OK with. You are too.

The main thing I was pushing back on in my comment, was the idea of a one-state solution being anything other than ridiculous, whether in the guise of a new state, or by just "giving Palestinians equal rights" in Israel as it exists.

If you want to push for peace - it's worth advocating for things that a) have some chance of happening, and b) would not lead immediately to a situation that is 100x worse for everyone involved. That's why I advocate a two-state solution, as does almost anyone else seriously involved in pushing for peace.
Same. I'd be happy to turn it on and not have a menu over half the screen every time.
