The fact he is using Wordpress.org would seem to be a clear violation of its 501(c)(3) IRS status. If someone has not filed a complaint by now with the IRS perhaps they should. The C3 must be very careful in sharing staff with the for profit entity, and it must be very careful in how they interact.
Thank you!

1) All data is partitioned based on the "instanceId" of events (see `instanceId` here: https://docs.trench.dev/api-reference/events-create). Instance IDs are typically a logically meaningful way of separating users (such as by company/team/etc.) that allows for sharding the data across nodes.

2) Yes, this the number 1 thing on our roadmap right now (if anyone is interested in helping build this, please reach out!)

3) We're using the Kafka engine in ClickHouse for throttling the ingestion of events. It's partitioned by instanceId (see #1) for scaling/fast queries over similar events.

4) My benchmarks in production showed a single EC2 instance (16 cores / 32 gb ram) barely working at 1000+ inserts / second with roughly the same amount of queries per second. Load averages 0.91, 0.89 0.9. This was in stark contrast to our AWS Postgres cluster which continued to hit 90%+ CPU and low memory with 80 ACUs, before we finished the migration to Trench.

5) We seemed to solve this by running individual Node processes on every core (16 in parallel). Was the limit you saw caused by ClickHouse's inbound HTTP interface?

6) Right now the system uses just a default MergeTree ordered by instanceId, useId, timestamp. This works really well for doing queries across the same user or instance, especially when generating timeseries graphs.

7) I am still trying to figure out the best Kafka partitioning scheme. userId seems to be the best for avoiding hot partitions. Curious if you have any experience with this?

Let us know how the migration goes and feel free to connect with me (christian@trench.dev).

Dr. Rohnda Patrick just did a great episode on PFAS, microplastics, and other environmental toxins in food and water. Tap water tends to have less of these PFAS/nano plastics than bottled water via degradation of the bottle. Topo Chico is especially problematic (nothing to do with the bottle).[0]

Thanks for taking the time to provide more details on how resonance cascades work.
I see tons of glitches: cant load settings, loading a vid may work or not, and the gui gets glitchy regardless.

Pity, I love Newpipe on my phone.
For cell phone, you don't need to trust the app much - it reports raw (X, Y, Z) vector.
Turn the phone sideways and see how it's Z went to 0 and it's now Y (or X) showing -9.8. Spin in the chair and see how the vector's magnitude is increasing. This should be a pretty effective evidence that the vector is not offset, and at most scaled.
If anything good comes of AI slop, it will be stronger (and possibly more personalized) collaborative filtering. I wish I could upvote and downvote more content in more places in a way that my feedback would be used by people who have chosen to trust me (and vice versa).

Amongst the others things that walled gardens like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have taken is the open availability of social signals to rank content. Previously Google used links to build some trust metric, but almost no real person creates public links anymore.
Using only open standards and open source with a suitable license.

Being disciplined about this is very difficult, see RMS. But it is the way.
This is why any decent contract or agreement has a definitions section. Ambiguity in legal docs should always be minimized.

Sucking at something is the first step at being kinda good at something.

You're way out throwing my three year old, about as good as my max throw, and behind a number of my friends. I still show up at the course when my friends go and have a good time. It goes a little farther every time I go.
> What do you do if the team won't work on that bug for 2 years? Well, if it's a serious bug for your company, then you stop using Flutter. You don't have a choice. You need to keep moving forward. Your team doesn't know how to work on the Flutter framework, and the Flutter framework team is either unresponsive, or at least completely non-committal towards a fix.

they could pay contributor or issue bug bounty..
I hope not. This is a parallel product line instead of a successor then. Not what anyone was anticipating or looking forward to.
But they are shared between apps, and those platform packages are almost certainly used by most of your apps.

What better alternative is there as a webdev? Genuinely looking for answers from a production perspective.

Most successful shops I meet or talk to are all-in on Wordpress and I don’t think this drama has affected this calculation. Big Indian SEO + Wordpress firms with American sales teams rule this market.

I haven’t done freelance web work in a couple years, but I remember pouring a couple hundred hours into exploring static generators and alternative CMSs just to decide that yeah, Wordpress was probably the cheapest and most user friendly option to.
That's not the case here in Washington state: legal weed is significantly cheaper than the black-market ever was, unless you want some high-end specialty bud you most likely couldn't have gotten at all back then.
They estimate there are one million Flutter developers/users. Have I been sleeping under a rock?
W3C DIDs are verifiable e.g with blockchain-certificates/cert-verifier-js and blockchain-certificates/cert-verifier (Python).

If PyPI is not a keyserver, if it only hosts the attestations and checks checksums, can it fully solve for [Python] software supply chain security?

A table comparing the various known solutions might be good; including md5, sha3, GPG .ASC signatures, TUF, Uptane, Sigstore (Cosign + Rekor), PyPI w/w/o attestations, VC Verifiable Credentials, and Blockcerts (Verifiable Credentials (DIDs))
I witnessed this when I spent a month inside the offices of a large Japanese company in Kyoto. In that month there were three different dinners out for the whole office, all of them involving alcohol.

One of the engineers told me as an aside, because Japanese culture frowns on contradicting or questioning one's superiors, social drinking was a tacit mechanism where people could express their doubts about project direction and such without repercussion, as another part of the tacit rules were that what someone said while drunk shouldn't be held too strongly against them. Even after a few sips people would get more boisterous and the buttoned-down civility would drop. I didn't speak much Japanese so I can only imagine what was being said, probably something like "Boss, I'm not too confident that spending so much time adding the suchandsuch feature is worth delaying the project, but I'm just a junior engineer so I don't know what I'm talking about, hah hah. Kampai!"
NACS is finally standardized as SAE J3400 with other vendors shipping those cars in the United States next year, and now they're introducing a new connector with no clear advantage?
Flutter is truly a piece of great tech with remarkable quality and value. I hope the right path will be found.

I think companies using it for commercial purposes (like what we're doing) should contribute something to the effort to help make sure Flutter not only survives, but flourishes.

Bug bounties, supporting individual developers, supporting efforts and initiatives, professional services, or any other way that helps the project move forward will be great.
Better than using a distinct name for a mostly-identical project or effort (looking at you, MariaDB).
>I say this as someone who worked several years in engineering at Apple, and they were extremely environmentally conscientious years before it was a thing.

Then please tell us why they can't put a HDMI/DP input on the iMac to be usable as an external monitor when the internal computer dies or just to be used as a secondary monitor?

Or why the SSD NAND on Macbooks needs to be soldered when a guy on youtube managed to hack an NVME connector on the motherboard to make the storage replaceable and expandable? What are the reasons other than driving more sales of new devices when old ones break?

Because they're clearly not technical limitations and without any substantiated info from your side, your comment just reads more like astroturfing ("Apple is so conscious, trust me bro I worked there").
Absolutely. Even though the subsidies have been extremely beneficial for my wife and I, I seriously question whether or not the policy of handling excessive medical costs by paying private insurance companies money to make their insurance premiums affordable to everyone makes much (if any) sense.

If medical costs are indeed so high that our insurer needs $X from us each month to make health insurance viable, how does it help anything to make sure they get $X pretty much no matter what?

Do feel free to ask if you have any other questions about this. I do my own taxes, and have had to do a deep dive into the rules/forms for this stuff for several years now.
"so behind" in that after months of pumping themselves up through glossy marketing they are now just barely on parity with Google Pixel's AI feature set?

C'mon man.
Let's consider how bizarre the opposites are:

"it is compulsory to like free software"

"You will be prevented from grumbling about the software"

"Users must all patch or fork the software"

"Everybody will be forced to use the software"

"You will be punished if you express opinions"

"You are not allowed to mute or block others"

"You must not think about the opinions of others, but you must pay attention"

Parsing out all the bizarrely obvious stuff from this post, if we try to distill it down to an opinion, what's hidden in there? It should be expressed in terms of good and bad, not liberty. The liberty is obvious. What's it saying about what people ought to do?

* Devs ought to respect their grumbling users. They ought not be pissy about users who grumble but don't contribute. They ought not have some insular concept of loyalty where users who use other software are outsiders or splitters.

* Devs ought to selectively ignore their grumbling users, though, and contributors, instead of acting like slaves and getting burnt out. In this there's an implication that it's right to think you own your (version of your) project, and that you should control it if that pleases you.

* We should communicate our opinions, should not harass anyone, and should stop listening when bored or annoyed.

It all makes more sense when couched in moralistic terms, I think. Because it's not in fact about freedoms.
> The 48V architecture is the optimal long-term choice, requiring ¼ of the current to deliver the same amount of power.

Is there a reason why 48V is better long term than going higher like 96V?
> The reality is that the study was looking at the difference best and worst performers, not best vs average

This is a myth, the worst performers didn't complete the task or delivered a faulty solution, those were removed from the study so you didn't see the worst.

Best to worst would be much much larger than 10x, however finding anything larger than 10x would take a very long time as it means waiting around for the slowest to finish.

Edit: And if you add back all of those worst performers, best vs average would also shift significantly towars 10x.
If you clicked the link/read the article, you'd realize this is an internal vehicle 48v connector.
> But he died due to Alzheimer's disease, which must have been terrifying.

I wonder. Having had a parent go through this, one of the small mercies, at least for them, was that they themselves were not aware of what was happening. Their world felt normal to them. Instead, they thought everything and everyone else around them was becoming confused, crazy and hostile.

But then, this is just one data point. As they say, when you have seen one case of dementia, you have seen one case of dementia.
This always reminds me of a great find I discovered a while back when I was reading the HTTP/2 RFC for whatever reason.

Back before "429 Too Many Requests" was standardized, Twitter's API used to return a nonstandard 420 status code (with the caption "Enhance Your Calm") when rate-limiting incoming requests. They stopped doing this for understandable reasons, but the caption, at least, got snuck into HTTP/2, see:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7540#section-7

down at 0xb, the caption for disconnection due to excessive load is, indeed, ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM. Always makes me smile. :)
I was wondering the same. How many Android developers are there?!
This is clearly just a bot responding.
I converted a Logitech mx2 mouse from micro-usb to usb-c. When doing so I confirmed and am 100% certain that the data lines of usb are not connected on this mouse (only ground and 5V are connected for charging). The traces to the micro-usb connector do not exist. The mouse only works by bluetooth or a Logitech 2.4Ghz dongle.

Yet, when I read forums as I was troubleshooting something, I found multiple posts where someone claims the mouse doesn't work in "wired mode", and multiple people replied saying they only ever use the mouse with a usb cable and never wirelessly so surely something is wrong, leading to lots of confusion and returned mouses. In reality, the mouse can only work when plugged in if it is also paired as a wireless device.

If you think about it, the design choice to support charging only and not data makes some sense. Having a wired and wireless mode may confuse users if they don't have a Logitech driver installed that ensures settings are persistent across both modes. Apple's design is good from this point of view, it only works wirelessly and there is no design language that suggests it has a wired mode.

Logitech gaming mouses do have wired and wireless modes, but I think they generally do not have bluetooth, so presumably the mouse and/or its driver can more easily take care of persistent settings between modes by not supporting bluetooth which is constrained to support certain features.

All that being said, I believe the main reason for the port being on the bottom of Magic Mouse was simply to avoid cost of retooling for manufacturing when they switched from AA batteries to a non-removable chargeable battery.
It was available for 6 years (2011-2017), that's hardly a failure relative to other Apple products that have only made it through 2 cycles (the most recently iPhone Mini sub-family that lasted 2 years).
Yes. But the other technologies mentioned were from Microsoft.
A6000/A100/H100/etc will sell like hotcakes to hobbyists and small companies when data centers start to get rid of them (if they're allowed to). the market is starved for affordable hardware. P40 was <100$ 1.5 years ago, now it's 250$+
I would say, no. Matt Mullenweg says, ask your lawyer.

If only he'd said no as well - not doing so seems petty.
At that point it’ll be in the middle of the upgrade cycle - why get a 16 when 17 is around the corner?

The idea that Apple Intelligence is the big feature for the 16 flies out of the window and the only update this year is a button
Pretty sure that is an extract from (one of) public lawsuits brought by former aides to MM’s mother that were employed by MM.
This would require additional hardware in every iMac sold.

Many people (I suspect the vast majority) would not reuse the iMacs as displays.

Would the total amount of extra hardware inside discarded iMacs (those not used as displays) be less than the amount of hardware saved by reuse of the others?
I don't think you can truly do a proper comparative study for something like this - there's just too many other factors.

That said, you can look at Korean for a historical example of how a well-designed alphabet can fare when replacing a historical Chinese-based system. It actually spawned whole new literary genres by making writing more accessible to large segments of the populace that were effectively excluded before.
I believe 50V is a safety limit.
A decent number have been caught and plenty of others are known but can't be held responsible because they're state supported.
I know, I want my two seconds and mouse click back.
A lawyer would beg to differ.
> Your team doesn't know how to work on the Flutter framework

The only escape hatch I can think of is to either have the team learn how to work on Flutter itself or hire someone who can.
Yes, it is. I was just thinking about what happened when other companies did something similar.
48v is probably more common than 96v in general, so more components available already.
True, I'm always making sure my Kindle is face down when I'm not using it so that my coworkers don't think I'm reading whatever insane AI slop Title Amazon happens to be advertising to me at the moment.

I really don't see how these people making the ebooks are making any money on these books either since they cost 99 cents and they pay for advertising. Maybe they're using llama2 idk lmao, either way I've seen a ton of embarrassing titles pop up on there and don't want people thinking I'm interested in that slop.
That the “critique” is posted on such a spamtaculous site doesn’t lend much credibility. I looked but didn’t find other negative reviews.

I did read the book and it seemed well cited.

If there are no more credible reviews do you care to substantiate your specific concerns with her work?
Because as a customer you should probably buy a studio display and Mac mini if that's your use case.
Pi-Hole is not a option, since I don't have one laying around.

Why not buy one?
I see you don’t recognize dystopian sarcasm
Your marketing folks know how to use it and you can configure it so they can manage a lot of stuff they’d have to bug you for otherwise, which neither you nor they will tolerate for long.
> A better comparison would be with C++ or a similarly low-level language.

Right, but then I'd have to write C++. Shallow dismissal aside (I really do not enjoy writing C++), the bigger issue is safety: I am almost certain to write several exploitable bugs in a language like C++ were I to use it to build an internet-facing web app. The likelihood of that happening with Rust, Java, C#, or any other memory-safe language is much lower. Sure, logic errors can result in security issues too, and no language can save you from those, but that's in part the point: when it comes to the possibility of logic errors, we're in "all things being equal" territory. When it comes to memory safety, we very much are not.

So that pretty much leaves me with Rust, if I've decided that the memory footprint or performance of Java or C# isn't sufficient for my needs. (Or something like Go, but I personally do not enjoy writing Go, so I wouldn't choose it.)

> Everything is a scale and faster does not necessarily mean better if the code becomes unreadable.

True, but unreadable-over-time has not been my experience with Rust. You can write some very plain-vanilla, not-"cleverly"-optimized code in Rust, and still have great performance characteristics. If I ever have to drop into 'unsafe' in a Rust code base for something like a web app, most likely I'm doing it wrong.
We have an 'official' definition for open source AI
Ahh thanks, I read it but In was confused why it was talking about 48v as if that couldn't be done by the other standards.
I wish Whisper got 1/1000th the amount of love from OpenAI as ChatGPT. It really is genuinely useful (when it works, which is usually).
they're just too close to the problem and overestimating their relevance.

just because someone cloned a repo once or an NPM package was downloaded doesn't mean someone is a flutter dev. I don't know what the best metric would be, but its relevance is definitely overstated
This is an interesting theory. I just came back from Thailand where I needed to make an ER visit for a grand total of $89 USD, including the price of three prescriptions. I was touring with one of the natives who made a comment around the lines of, "We don't abandon our elderly parents here like you Westerners do." This was in a conversation around their multi-generation households.

It's not necessarily a correlation, but your comment reminded me of the conversation.
There is no abrupt drop at this time. There is a smooth gradient in the percentage of AGI that "the 2nd most expensive silver plan in your state" can cost.

Next year, if Congress does not renew the expansion above 400% that was started during COVID, then there will the most abrupt drop possible at 400%: from something to absolutely zero.

My wife and I save at least $6000/year thanks to these subsidies, which put our health insurance into the same general realm as most other industrialized nations (typically 8-12% of AGI on health insurance of some kind).
Usually it comes down:

- forms

- extremely minor server-side functionality thing

Who is 'we'? I'm not familiar enough with this ecosystem to understand. Is this one person or a set of existing contributors, or something else?
Yeah these people are morons. Likely building networks to market crypto scams/fake onlyfans accounts.
Honestly makes sense to me. If Google has proven one thing is that it generally maintains a very tight grip on anything open-source that they ship. Ie. it's extremely hard to contribute upstream. This is fine when it's a package that's critical to good, so they invest a lot into it (for example, Jax). But for stuff that's not quite there, it means fixes will meander for months if not years.
Tail call recursion doesn't turn the O(N^2) version of Fibonacci into O(N) but at least memoization turns it to O(N log N) or something. It's true that recursive algorithms can be easy to analyze. If you really knew your math you could do Fibonacci as O(1).
I'm working on an app called Helm. It's the all-in-one macOS app that replaces App Store Connect, supercharging your app updates, localization, and ASO with AI-powered tools.
