17 years ago I wrote this plugin for Rails 2 to version database tables.

At the time it scratched an itch for a simpler alternative to acts_as_versioned. It was even used in Github for a little while IIRC.

17 years later what I can't understand is why a steady stream of people are still forking it. It's a rare week that goes by that I don't get a notification. 2 in the last day or so.

What's the game here? I can't think of any legitimate reason to fork a 17 year old plugin for a truly ancient version of Rails. So… what's the payoff?
Maybe I am a boiled frog, but I personally like it. TOML looks fine for simple cases, but yaml is fine there as well. Also, yaml has very clean approaches for dealing with literal text. For instance, if your yaml file needs to include an xml file, a json file and a bash script, it all ends up being very readable.

Not really. It's just that people don't realize how much they rely on modern society. You could go all Primitive Technology and go live in a mud hut somewhere or whatever, nobody's forcing you to buy toothpaste and electricity and all that stuff.

The problem is that sucks, so people don't actually want to live off grid. They just want to not work but also get the benefits of modern society.
Right-wing parties are even selling themselves as revolutionary and "against the system". But nothing could be further from the truth.

Revolutionary would be to stop using oil, gas and coal (and nuclear) for energy generation. It would be revolutionary to invest into public transport instead of building car dependent cities. Similarly demanding public code and open science for public money would increase transparency and outcome for the tax payers a lot. Destroying market monopolies and making sure we have a fair competition on the markets would be revolutionary. Stop making money by doing business with dictatorships is totally against the system of "money doesn't stink". And it would be absolutely against the "system of the rich" to demand high wealth and inheritance taxes (or at least a financial transaction tax) to make sure everyone has a fair chance in his life. In the end if you demand equality for women and men, that would be a social revolution humanity hasn't heard of since Adam and Eve.

None of these are goals of right-wing parties. The left-wing, woke, green, liberal parties are the really revolutionaries in our world. What they demand has never be tried before. That is risky and right-wing voters are in fact afraid of these disruptive changes.
Those are definitely not car-sized (but they're still pretty big)

Well that's true, but even so the delta should indicate what people are buying right this moment. If we take the 132M Steam users and have each one buy something every 5 years, that's 2.2M each month or 1.67%. The 5 year figure is probably on the high end so let's maybe say 1.5%.

The delta this month was +1.2% for AMD, so would that imply that 80% of people bought AMD, and 20% Intel? In August AMD seems to have actually had negative delta, maybe from people selling the effed up 13/14th gen for cheap? Idk.

Testing the Uniqueness of a Theory of Everything
Cool project!

Out of curiosity, do you think this concept could be extended to other common bluetooth use cases, such as wireless headphones/speakers, or file transfers over bluetooth to mobile devices, or are the audio/file transfer/etc stacks too far removed from the HID stack for that to cleanly translate?
If It's Too Hard, You're Doing It Wrong
Add a little more to this number here, and a little more to that number there, piecemeal and conservatively, and before too long you have more complexity than if you just designed for larger numbers in the first place.
This is awesome! I have some serial devices (RS 232) that I've wished I could make wireless. Are there any similar projects to bluetooth serial comms?
Two remarks:

Those bird illustrations are amazing. Both in terms of detail and in terms of preservation.

The polynomial is not present in the binary. The table was obfuscated so this approach will not work here (and it's pretty common to do this specifically to stop such a simply look at the bytes in a binary).
Exactly the same as what this device is doing, plus more. You would put it in HCI mode, pair whichever Bluetooth devices you wanted to pair with it (keyboards, mice, etc.). Then on the next reboot it would put itself back into HID mode, where all the paired devices would appear as USB HID devices. And therefore your keyboard would be available even during pre-boot, at the BIOS setup program.

Once the operating system finished loading, it would send the adapter the command to switch to HCI mode, and the adapter would then re-appear as a normal bluetooth adapter. Under BlueZ, this operation was done by a command called hid2hci.

I have several (even Apple used to do this), but they stopped being a thing during the 2.0 EDR era (therefore zero support for LE keyboards).

In fact, if you google these keywords ("HID proxy", "HID2HCI", ...) you will find that there are several much older projects to also replicate this using RPi Zeros. I personally would like one which extends the concept to audio devices, serial ports, etc. so that I can use them from OSes without BT stack.

The Grab engineering blog is pretty high quality, here's a related article from a few years ago that I liked:

There's another article here (written in a less confusing first person; I vaguely suspect that the third-person article linked above is intended for newswire or something): https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/13/why-the-guardi... which goes a bit into it.

tl;dr - Twitter is bad, and also not as important as it used to be. The Guardian does not want to and is not financially forced into producing clickbait for social media.

(The Guardian is owned by a weird non-profit, the Scott Trust (which is, confusingly, no longer a trust); it's allowed the odd principled decision, as a treat.)

I don't think there are any more which is a shame, because spaCy was an amazing library and probably the library I most ever enjoyed working with, it truly felt like a craftsmans belt for intelligent text transformation/insight. Some things like topic clouds can still be useful for creative work but this is not where spaCy shines.

But ChatGPT can derive better insights, doesn't need pipelines, doesn't need hard coded approaches with their issues. And the (NLTK/Stanford parser-like) dependency views are still interesting for linguistic purposes.

This is why Jelly doesn't price-per-seat -- other tools get expensive, fast.

And those other tools do a lot more too, and they're definitely a great choice if you've got great revenue and dedicated customer support "agents", or you want AI to answer your 10,000 daily support queries.

Jelly tries to serve the rest of us: companies, teams and other groups who just want to collaborate on email, and not get stung in the wallet every time somebody new joins in.

Ah yes, the myth that East Asian countries are better at math because their numbers are just one syllable, so they can calculate faster.

Leaving aside the fact that math is not only basic arithmetic, the reality is that they dedicate much more time in school to this kind of problems. But as usual, skills that are not used often atrophy over time, and in my experience the average Japanese adult is not much better than the average Western adult.
Lots of English YouTubers have channels dedicated to Japanese food. The prices always make me extremely envious.

Speed is still a major issue with Raku. Parsing a log file with a regex is Perl's forte but the latest Raku still takes 6.5 times as long as Python 3.13 excluding startup time.
> I've seen scheduled index rebuilds on Oracle

If you do look into the Oracle dba handbook, scheduled index rebuilds are somewhat recommended. We do it on weekends on our Oracle instances. Otherwise you will encounter severe performance degredation in tables where data is inserted and deleted at high throughput thus leading to fragmented indexes. And since Oracle 12g with ONLINE REBUILD this is no problem anymore even at peak hours.
There is no merit that warrants more than 10 million dollars. At that point money is just power, not consumption.
Not to be confused with QuickTrip, another major chain with significant Midwestern presence.
It started as a win32 application without any UI toolkit other than the controls that are built into windows. That's how the binary could be only a few hundred kilobytes in size.

> The point is this: when Trump says the economy is doing badly, he's objectively lying

Not to the person struggling.

I'm not saying that Trump will actually improve their circumstances.

I'm saying that, according to Bernie and others, Harris' campaign didn't do a good job speaking to them.

Instead they told them that the economy is "doing very well" which clearly didn't resonate.
I'm not convinced, because you're conflating too many things here. Ownership and borrow checking are always compile time concepts. There is no language runtime involved. If you think of C as a magic language then start today and get that idea out of your head.

If locking and unlocking semantics are a good fit for whatever you are doing, then you can just do a lock implementation setting whatever memory mapped registers you need. There is no constraint here whatsoever.

Nobody is advocating for separate atomics in every little object in Rust. That's a Java idea that failed miserably long before Rust was even around.

He seemed to really like it, only not recommending it because it was expensive!

Can I ask, why have you bought the fourth monitor (or the fifth now?) if all the others have caused so many problems? For me, if I had that kind of problem even twice I wouldn't touch a company again.
Homo Sapiens of course, everywhere but a few places in Africa. We’re kind of the ultimate invasive species. We have walked on the Moon.

Almost all living humans are colonizers or illegal immigrants if you go back far enough.
Even before that, there was a Google Maps experiment using the compass (magnetometer) to infer train movement, but IIRC the accuracy of that depended on the network's current (DC vs AC) and even the vintage of the cars.

Interesting point of view.
LLMs open a whole new 'search' up for me, when you are not sure what you are searching for. For example, if you can't remember the name of a lib but you know roughly what it does (or if you have misremembered the name of it). This is often very time consuming.

It's also far better than Google for recommending things (really anything) as you can use much more "precise" requirements for the recommendations and correct them, instead of getting at best some SEO spam.

It's obviously not good for stuff that requires real time updates like opening times, though I suspect with time OpenAI et al will combine their own search index + RAG to solve a lot of this.

The elephant in the room though is this is long term going to kill the incentive for a lot of content to be published. AI overviews have definitely reduced the amount of clicking through I do, even though I try and subconsciously 'support' sites by trying to find a link. But often it's right there.
X has nothing to do in this comparison.

Use Grab a lot and I don't consider it a super-app. It truly is the Ride Hailing/Food delivery service app to use in certain parts of SE Asia. WeChat has a massive ecosystem in that its chat, payments, and a million company built "apps".
Yes. Compare it to the List monad or Parsec.

Absolutely nobody is happy about the war in russia, from the very bottom all the way to the top. So nobody really knows how far the theoretical tipping point is, of course oligarchs with dictator promptly kill any emerging threat.
And the definition of native seems to be: it spread there through natural processes, which often means predating the development of agriculture around 11,000 B.C.

So, will we get an evaluation of FDB one day? Pretty please? :-)
Kind of, but not exactly. Super-apps like WeChat have a huge number of independent apps within it, operated by third-parties. Apps like Grab are more like different divisions within the same organisation. So Grab is more like Uber + Uber Eats + InstaCart all operated by the same company, inside a single app. But sometimes people call things like Grab super-apps as well. I think it’s probably wrong to describe something as a super-app unless it has third-party apps within it.
the measurement outcome is downstream of the campaign strategy which is downstream of the rules for measuring the winner. If you change the way you measure the winner, the campaign strategies will change (billion dollar business!), which changes the measurement outcome. Changing the way an experiment is measured without accordingly updating its methodology, is unscientific.

Goals are not rational. Neither Putin's goal of controlling Ukraine nor Ukraine's desire for independence are rational, they're subjective preferences.

You can ask - was Putin's decision to invade Ukraine rational given his values, priorities, risk aversion, willingness to bear the costs and information he had? Apart from the last, they're all subjective and thus it doesn't make sense to judge them as (ir)rational. The last one is objective, but having wrong information is not irrational either.
Sometimes I wonder if the Bigfoot myth had its origins in ancient paleoindian accounts of the giant sloths they encountered when humans first set foot in Americas, transmitted with a lot of noise through word of mouth for about ~400-500 generations. Their large size and claws surely helped leaving large footprints.
I never personally expected anything close to neologism out of LLMs, not sure whether that was a common expectation.

LLMs would have to completely go outside the bounds of how they were designed to work for that to happen. They're prediction engines. They could absolutely create a novel idea when predicting what a person might say, but LLMs have no way of working through the logic behind the idea or modelling reality to see if the idea might work. You could task an LLM to design a thousand novel gene therapies or something similar, but at the end of the day humans would have to sift through testing or logically invalidating each option generated. Until that step is automated and paired with an LLM, and almost certainly other structures along the way, it will never be artificial intelligence.
You're not alone. Streaming services' selling point is access to the catalogue. Everything else about the product tends towards being aggressively mid.
I don't think there's a direct line.

"Might makes right" will also force cooperation from those who are less fortunate. I'd argue there was almost never "fairness" in human relationships, from stronger warriors getting the best food to kings forcing their will upon their subjects to filthy rich individuals owning the greatest part of the world wealth today.

My point is in no way that this is right. Only that humans are not intrinsically fair.
