There are scenarios where these target date funds are not good.

Rebalancing into bonds and mmmfs is a form of insurance against catastrophic losses equities. But if you have a sufficiently large account then catastrophic losses that affect your life are extremely rare, if they do occur they will likely affect your bond portfolio as well, and the expected loss vs 100% equities over 15-20 years is significant, something like 10x the value of the insurance you are buying.

If you want insurance for a large account then long-dated put options 20% of the money are much cheaper.

Jello.
Indeed. It's actually been quite handy on a few occasions to be able to just pull in a smaller crate as opposed to the whole project. (in constrast to, say, boost in C++, which is a big mess of a dependency even though it's one that goes to at least a little bit of effort to let you split it up, but through an ad-hoc process as opposed to a standard package management system).

(I would genuinely be interesting in an experiment which pushes this as far as possible: what if each function was a 'package'? There's already a decent understanding of how dependencies within a library work in the compiler, what if that extended to the package manager? You would know exactly what code you actually needed, and would only pull in exactly what was necessary)
WTF? What about pedestrians? Are they walking in full darkness?

This seems to be totally oriented to cars. I find American cities incredibly dark by night. Walking around feels too dark and unpleasant.
Well, we live in a punitive culture that ascribes great social value to appearances.

To your example, if I tell my friends that I had a tough day at work because the old code was broken I will get more sympathy then if I say I wrote some shitty code last week and it made my day awful.

Another example, in a minor traffic accident, it might be nice to say "oh I'm sorry that was my fault" but I would be penalized by my insurance carrier for making such a statement.

We have successfully integrated the results of capitalism and game theory directly into our language. And I believe that has a knock on effect: people's actions follow from their thoughts which are influenced by the set of things they're allowed to or not allowed to vocalize.

We have aggressively evolved away from anything like humility or empathy being expressed in this culture because we punish that behavior.
> Spark is "in-memory" in the sense that it isn't forced to spill results to disk between operations

I see your point, but that's only true within a single stage. Any operator that requires partitioning (groupBys and joins for example) requires writing to disk

> [...] which used to be a point of comparison to MapReduce specifically.

So each mapper in hadoop wrote partial results to disk? LOL this was way worse than I remember than. It's been a long time that I've dealt with hadoop

> Not ground-breaking nowadays but when I was doing this stuff 10+ years

I would say that it wouldn't be ground breaking 20 years ago. I feel like hadoop influence held up our entire field for years. Most of the stuff that arrow made mainstream and is being used by a bunch of engines mentioned in this thread has been known for a long time. It's like, as a community, we had blindfolds on. Sorry about the rant, but I'm glad the hadoop fog is finally dissipating
The dynamics of how they unfold is that I am dropping links from well respected (and frequently Jewish Israeli) institutions and getting bombarded by whataboutisim, misinformation and semantic arguments that interest no one but the commenter.

The dynamics is that one side cares about history and the truth and the other side is a whitewashing campaign for genocide.

"Hamas surely deserves some credit for the deaths" This is literally equivalent to saying the Jews deserved [some credit for causing] the holocaust.

There are people in this thread breaking down the history from literally 139 BC to the current day (although hardly anything before 1920 is actually relevant to the current conflict).

To handwave all the complexity away when it's presented to you in a form that would take only a few hours to fully digest and say "both sides"... it's definitely a choice.

Is Hamas technically at fault for giving Israel an excuse for committing genocide?

I guess, if you think such a thing is even possible.
> Ashkenazi Jews — that is, Jews who lived in Europe during the Diaspora — make up less than a third of Israeli Jews.

This isn't true, and the link you posted in support of it contradicts it in the third sentence. 'less than a third of Israeli Jews' excludes Jews who migrated to Israel from the Soviet Union, or from the post-Soviet Union countries. In fact around 20% of the population of Jewish people in Israel arrived during the wave of migration which happened in the 90s and early 2000s.
> Is this just his usual "appear unpredictable by all means" spiel or does he have a strategy there?

If you think a 78 year old alone is capable of such feats of planning, you have more faith in the elderly than most. Read any of his speeches that are off the cuff and you will see that Trump has incredibly poor working memory, vocabulary, and attention. This is to be expected from an elderly individual, but not from a great strategist. These are the results of large groups of people working towards goals, not heroic individual feats.
I live in the Netherlands, in the burbs, and have to cycle a lot. That picture of a bike ramp... I can feel it. Whatever that document you googled says, it's wrong, if it justifies building ramps like that. That ramp is bad. There's no two ways about it.

But, responding to this particular example is missing the point of the article. Let me, for a moment, agree with you, and say that the ramp is within acceptable parameters: still, the author complains about a more general phenomenon, a lot of aspects of this phenomenon are very relatable. And it doesn't have to manifest itself uniformly and similarly everywhere in every detail.

For example, suburban houses in the Netherlands really show people care about the neighborhood. The want things to be nice. Windowsills are always decorated, have some art displayed in the windows, just for the passerby to enjoy. People mostly care to pick up after their dogs and to generally not litter. People even invest into community playgrounds, community garden patches etc. Life is good, at least in this respect.

But, when I go to work, things change. Not only people around me don't care, they very much want everyone to not care, because that would show them in a bad light. It's a convention of sorts, that people understand without saying anything out loud. Do the absolute minimum, waste a lot of time doing nothing of value, don't rock the boat. And it is, as the author says, demoralizing. It makes my blood boil when defects discovered in our product, and instead of being fixed they get documented in a bottomless pit of our multi-thousands pages PDF manual, and the product is shipped regardless. A lot of these defects resulted not from honest mistakes, but from a desire to do as little work as possible, and to do only the "pleasant" part of the work: programmers prefer writing new code to fixing existing code. Testing is for wimps. Adding more stuff without fixing existing problems results in simply having more problems.

* * *

Now, how to make people care?--I don't know. I know of some things that worked, but they have bad side-effects (religion works, but sometimes it detracts into killing a lot of people, communism works, as in kibbutzim, but then it loses momentum, and is very prone to be exploited by external forces also, doesn't work on a large scale.)
My target date 2050 funds have performed 50% less than my S&P 500 and like 30/40% less than my total stock market fund.
Regardless of facts about how much doctors actually care, he still perceives the world as one where almost nobody does. I'm glad he expressed himself as such because I feel the same way sometime, even though I know that most people try to fill their role in society well. It's like a special kind of loneliness that grows quick. I like how he describes the development of this loneliness. Once he put on its glasses, he thinks carelessness is everywhere, even in doctors who do care, so he develops existential hopelessness of some sort.

I would be curious as well. Every time we try something "software defined" the drawbacks are major, cost goes up, stability goes down and most importantly, bandwidth goes down by a factor 10. The only software defined networking gear we use is OpenBSD, to do some complex routing, but we cannot go above 5GB/s.
Not to mention that tablets are way more versatile than Kindle-like e-readers. I'm slowly replacing an aging iPad for printed articles (easier on my eyes), but I'd be tempted to get the newer TCL's NXTPAPER tablet once it arrives where I live.
That's amazing, thanks.

Can you please share more background information about the project, in particular why you wanted to take on this huge challenge, and why you didn't just start from an existing implementation, and why you chose C as the implementation language? Do you assume that you can still use the same GC with the addition of multi-threading?

HN AMA Author of the Supabase book; "accidentally" became a Postgres expert
First time posting here, usually just reading silently but I thought sharing this might be interesting both from a curiosity and knowledge perspective.

tl;dr: Became a first-mover of using Supabase in 2021 and became a book author (supa.guide) and now basically do Supabase + Postgres consultancy as a freelancer, quitting my day job, for all sorts of Startups. I love it but never planned going all in on databases, here we are, and it's just the start.

Coding for 23 years now I never went with Firebase. I don't mind paying for services, we all want money to pay our bills happily; though: I hate being locked in and Supabase yet again proves you can make money with OSS that's not just "we act like it's OSS but in fact you cannot run it lol".

The following combination got me hooked, hopefully forever, on Supabase:

- You can talk to the people and you can actually reach them
- Open Source, most of it MIT, found a bug? Just contribute.
- Insane focus on usefulness of features. No senseless VC-satisfaction "we've thrown a bunch of useless features, see! GIVE MONEY"
- It just works.

So what I did is starting to make content, first video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONjmWLT33WQ&t=0 and I loved it.

Fast forward, I wrote the Supabase bible and started giving free advice at cal.com/activenode
for Supabase which helped me understand even more the user needs and problems (which I also provide back to the Supabase team if a collective thing to be improved is found).

So e.g. the reason you have the "don't use getSession() for security relevant stuff" in the docs and the "getSession()" warning in your logs, is: me. I was pretty stubborn about that as I saw too many creating insecure applications.

The 15mins calls I did seemed ultra-helpful for many people even though 15mins might seem too short at first - they're not at all. Then, about 10% of those calls went from a 100% non-sales call to the other side saying "Could you give us/me consulting for that? We'd love to hear more about it". So, I started offering paid calls, I think I started with 80 bucks for 30mins or so.

I quickly found that I have to charge way more if I wanted to make a living of it - not because I "deserve" more but simply because I was too fast in helping. Just yesterday I had a 2 hour call with 6 people and helped them resolve their problems so how would I be able to live from that if I'm not charging it properly?

I did some sort of AMA already on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Supabase/comments/15f6h0j/what_do_y...) so now I would love to try it here on HackerNews as well.

Give it a shot. I hope I can answer all of it.
That's an AI produced accessibility description so I thought it seemed wrong. But more directly from the article text:

Ok but both Android and iOS have a good permission system where location and other data access can be highly controlled. Isn't it more prudent that the app be restricted by the OS to not have permissions it does not require? Surely the US can enforce something like that.
That festival is one of the places I'm most curious to see the footage from the helicopters and tanks.

Where's the footage from the AH-64 Apache helicopters that engaged? Did the helicopters distinguish between Hamas combatants and festival goers? How can they distinguish between the two since Hamas combatants don't really possess uniforms beyond the green headbands that make positive identification of enemy combatants very difficult during a firefight?

RPGs are a precious commodity for any fighting force, but especially one as supply constrained as Hamas. I find it incredibly hard to believe that any combatant force would use so many of them to inflict this level of anti-material damage to this many non-military vehicles at a music festival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1T51_iroHo

> Again, you lost the plot.

I'm not interested in a plot. I'm interested in hard evidence that provides and objective view of what actually happened. The little evidence we have from the festival does not support damage commensurate with what an insurgent force with small arms and a limited number of RPGs has the capacity to inflict.

Define "by definition".

Because this statement really makes no sense. Transformers are perfectly capable (and capable of perfectly) learning mathematical functions, given the necessary working-out space, e.g. for long division or for algebraic manipulation. And they can learn to generalise from their training data very well (although very data-inefficiently). That's their entire strength!

That depends on whether you want to vet the authors or the code itself.

Yes, although you will not find a climate scientist that will admit to having used a model that was clearly wrong. They just silently update the model and hope you don't ask. And if you ask, nope, they will not hand over their model. But trust me bro, the models are correct.

Ah, before my time. But I can certainly imagine the excitedness, not to say the nervousness, when sending the final master of some software to be burned into thousands of CD-roms. No easy way to recover if there's a bug there! I've always been impressed with how I never came across any bugs when playing nintendo/cartridge games, couldn't just ship something buggy and rely on some online update back then.

I think he dismissed “incentive systems” way too early.

I would also argue that people not following the law (e.g. not picking up their dog’s poop) or proper laws simply not existing (e.g. playing shitty EDM on a trail) have the same root cause.

Governments don’t care.

It’s still amazing to me how some smart people still want the government to manage an even larger part of their lives when we should clearly be pushing in the other direction.

Of course they only want this when The Party I Agree With(TM) is in power, not so much when it’s The Party I Don’t Agree With(TM).
Yup, and I have zero issue with people finding exploits, ultimately many of those just serve to help us improve security as they get released.

Ultimately the goal of content protection (not just DRM) is to make it as inconvenient as possible to take content without paying. No security system is going to be perfect, but when you make it secure enough that people concentrate on weaker targets (or give up), then you're content.
I haven't sat down and quantified the difference, no. But it doesn't matter if the number is 2x, 10x, or 100x. The point remains the exact same: to not get personally offended when people point out our privilege. They are not, and have never been, dismissing the work we have done to get where we are. But put in an accurate context, we are perhaps not makers of our own success quite to the degree we once imagined.
They already did it with credit card, I'm actually surprised that they weren't already doing that, not sure if I understand the issue
It is free at the moment. They clearly specify in their terms that it won't be completely free in the future. The price of their same product if accessed from the web is $100/month for the amount (barely) sufficient for book reading. It may be smarter to skip until they reveal their official pricing for the mobile app.
Which then increases the chance that your homebrew versions have their own security problems (or bugs in general).
Thank you for taking the time to do the grim maths…

Also, holy ** I thought it was bad and probably going to be maybe 10-25 times higher… based on the utter devastation I have seen in satellite imagery… but over 150 times more…

I imagine once Amazon Kuiper gets up and running things will improve. People forget SpaceX has the massive advantage of having multiple starlink connections on their flights, so internet access direct to the ship has become incredibly easy for them.

Meanwhile everyone else relies on a very well tuned ground connection that requires precision movements to keep the connection stable, and is impacted by cloud and atmosphere.
By that measure, locks on our houses don't work, so we shouldn't bother locking the door? To repeat what I said to the other commentor:

How do I internationalize my CMS?
You said a lot of words that are a litmus test proving you almost never use TikTok nowadays. First of all this is not 2020 anymore, you're 5 years late if you think TikTok is still filled with "dances". "Paid influencers" mean nothing in TikTok since everyone has an equal voice and equal shot at virality, see you're still seeing it from the lens of Instagram here.

The NPC live streaming is weird yeah but you cherry picked a trend and then make it about all TikTok. Literally hundreds of trends spawn up in TikTok every month and some of them are damn more authentic than whatever happens in IG reels. Some of the successful original trends even pick up in Instagram or YouTube.
Agreed but what about the person that doesn't exactly treat you like s** but they are difficult to work with, but in order for you to achieve the thing you need at work you have to work with them daily? Then walking away isn't an option - perhaps just going to work somewhere else is not feasible. So then, a certain amount of experience of dealing with idiots at school can be useful can't it? (within reason... ;) )
You can both be right, and that's OK :) While you seem mostly concerned with "amount of served/handled data", parent seems to be more concerned with diversity, both are valid ways to judge what makes a "data center capital".

I don't think they're saying Amsterdam is the biggest country because of ASN diversity, but if someone says "What is the data center capital of the world?" both ways would be valid ways to understand the answer.

This sums it up. Metric is nice and clean tenths, but the real world is seldomly easily expressed in clean tenths.

Another example: The feet is cleanly divisible in thirds, quarters, and twelfths, which is greatly appreciated in industry and particularly construction.

Also to be bluntly mundane, almost everyone can just look down and have a rough measure of a foot which is good enough for daily use.

Also, the "sterility" of metric doesn't do it any sentimental favours. Japan loves measuring size/volume in Tokyo Domes, for example.
