You absolutely should NOT use postgresql table inheritance for anything. This is extremely bad advice.

Table inheritance goes back to the 90's or something when Object databases were thought to be the 'next big thing'. It's not actively developed and has a lot of sharp edges and you shouldn't use it.

If you really want something like this, then I would use UUID primary keys, then make a view that UNION ALLs. like this:

CREATE VIEW id_to_table AS
SELECT id, 'products' FROM products

UNION ALL

SELECT id, 'users' FROM users

... and so on

Now you don't need any participation or special magic on any of the tables.

Queries against this like
SELECT id, table FROM id_to_table WHERE id = "31ba486f-05ff-11f0-8e4c-a8a15904660a";

Will still use the pk index for each table and will return instantly. You don't even need to keep this view created all the time, just write some SQL to generate the SQL for the view and then execute that, then do your query.

IF you want them to be unique int (ids globally) just make a new sequence and use that sequence whenever you create a new table.

edit: at this point I'm like sure that there is some automated downvoting on this site! why would someone downvoe this? You would think it was political.
I did physical labour when I was younger in a tropical climate and in certain ways it's easier than my SWE job is now.

There are days in SWE where I feel completely and utterly drained and brain dead despite doing nothing but just "clicking buttons". The physical exercise from the job site in comparison was heaven a lot of the time, and even these days when I'm stuck in my 4th useless meeting of the day, I find myself yearning for shovelling in the scorching sun.

I completely understand that fear. I see lots of other tech companies making that mistake, throwing away a perfectly good product and market out of pure "FOMO". I really, really don't want us to be one of those companies.

I think what we're doing is different: we built a product that was always meant to be general purpose; encouraged our community to experiment with alternative use cases; and are now doubling down on a new use case, for the same product. We are still worried about the perception of a FOMO-driven AI pivot (and the reactions on this thread confirm that we still have work to do there); but we're confident that the product really is capable of supporting both.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments, I appreciate it.

Builders are building and the houses are selling; in suburbs all over the country. I presume the people buying them desire them, they're spending close to half a million for them.

The builders get approval from the county if outside a city, or the city if inside one, or build a new city.
I guess you are aware of this, but just in case: some of us rely on dictation in our daily computer usage (think people with disabilities or pain problems). A MacBook Pro with M4 Max and 64GB of RAM could easily run something much larger than Whisper Large (around 3GB).

I would love a larger, better Whisper for use in the MacWhisper dictation app.

That's the problem though, you're dependent on your company in order to not go bankrupt after your injury. If you get fired, you're screwed, if I get fired here in EU, it's not that big of a deal (plus it's harder to fire me in the first place)
Maybe there should also be a protocol to support paying a small amount of crypto (on the order of 0.01-0.1 cents per request) to bypass the PoW. The bots can still scrape it by paying, but you now price in the externality.
Right! So everyone would choose to pursue passions/interests/leisure. We would be going into debt with no meaningful benefit to the taxpayer. Direct malinvestment.

I have written my own game for the original game boy[1] with the goal of bringing very modern tetris (Think Tetris the Grand Master) to a retro system. It's free and open source. Though the sound seems to not work well on the emulator in parent. I've tested it on real hardware and it is definitely an emulator bug.

When I try to prompt it with something that obviously needs up to date web search (when will Minneola Tangelos be in season this year?) it says..

"I believe they're usually available from November through March, but I'm not completely certain about the exact timing for this year's crop. Would you like me to search for more current information about the 2025 tangelo season?"

It doesn't just search, it wants me to confirm. This has happened a lot for me.
I think the original phrase was "North of the Watford Gap", but people often mis-abbreviate to "North of Watford". The Watford Gap is not the same place as Watford. It's about 75 miles north of London. Watford is within London's motorway ring road (The M25), and on the underground map. Its only about 17 miles away from the centre.
It depends where those people are expecting to fight. Small drones have proven effective for defensive, attritional warfare on geographically constrained battlefields. But the US military is pivoting to fight China in an island hopping campaign in the western Pacific Ocean, where ranges are orders of magnitude longer and a little battery powered drone can't get anywhere. There it looks like super-expensive fighters will be the only way to accomplish the mission.

There are two options that I know of:

1. Merge both channels into one (this is what Whisper does with dual-channel recordings), then map transcription timestamps back to the original channels. This works only when speakers don't talk over each other, which is often not the case.

2. Transcribe each channel separately, then merge the transcripts. This preserves perfect channel identification but removes valuable conversational context (e.g., Speaker A asks a question, Speaker B answers incomprehensively) that helps model's accuracy.

So yes, there are two technically trivial solutions, but you either get somewhat inaccurate channel identification or degraded transcription quality. A better solution would be a model trained to accept an additional token indicating the channel ID, preserving it in the output while benefiting from the context of both channels.

Since you're using my first name in a weird and creepy way, I'll assume you're a hater. It's been so long since I've had one! Are you reactivating from the Docker days, or are you the first of a new cohort? That would be an exciting development, since getting haters is a leading sign of runaway success.
Really weird that my comment was downvoted. No idea why.

Except it's nuts to pretend like this system hasn't been working out great for the US. Competent leaders have expanded it for a reason.

> Most of them had the option of joining at Level 1 at the time, and had they done so they would have much more leverage today.

I think that Trump/Vance have run their mouth about the UK in roughly the same ways that they have about Canada and Ukraine and your claim is far from obvious. We have leaders who are stupid and will trash a good thing without a second thought.

It's a superconducting switch, not a semiconductor per se. Lookup "Josephson junction". IBM spent a fortune on a huge R&D program to make computers from this, but eventually abandoned it. I think they got some circuitry working but eventually decided it wasn't practical enough to commercialize.

Also, some of today's work in quantum computers uses superconducting qubits. Maybe that's in the same research stage now. No idea if it will ever become practical.

I am still googling for non-indepth queries because the AI-generated summary at the top of the results is good enough most of the time and actual results are just below in case I want to see them.

For more in-depth stuff, it is LLMs by default and I only goto Google when the LLM isn't getting me what I need.
1password for unique long passwords per account. I store OTP in 1password as well for the extreme convenience it offers on desktop & mobile.

Backup TOTP are put in .txt files for each service and in a folder encrypted by Cryptomator (using a unique pw not used by any other services, esp. 1password). This encrypted folder is put on flash drive on my keychain and synced into my google drive folder.

This feels to me like a pretty good balance between convenience and security. Not 100% of my eggs are in one basket, but it's true that my 1password account password needs to be long and well-guarded and never re-used for anything else. Also putting a lot of trust into 1password to not get breached...

Yup. The LED diodes themselves will last for decades if treated properly, the power electronics though are very often made with extreme cut corners and the thermal design is awful meaning bulbs much more expensive and environmentally impacting than a bit of glass and milligrams of tungsten wire are failing in similar time spans. Somebody should do an environmental impact study of shitty LED bulbs vs incandescents to determine if the manufacturing impact difference makes up for the energy savings.
It’s so wild to hear capitalist talking points come from a worker.
Love the few times I get a call! always nice to help a blind person
Without any more information on frequencies and measurements it's impossible to know. My guess is either A) They did not perceive the dimming, and/or B) The frequency was high enough that the inductive and capacitive effects of the circuitry became relevant and was filtering the PWM signal to DC signal that still drew the same amount of power as it did when fed the full voltage DC signal
Sure, the problem though is it won't be "we" deciding what the robots do, it will most likely be a few powerful people of dubious character and motivations since those are the sort of people who pursue power and end up powerful.

That's why even though technology could theoretically be used to save us from many of our problems, it isn't primarily used that way.
Glad to hear it's on your radar. I'd imagine phone call transcription is a significant use case.
FWIW, I'm the current Redux maintainer, and that is an absolutely horrible and unfair description of how Redux was created.

Elm was _an_ influence on Redux, but there were many other influences as well. Dan Abramov's prior experience did include some VB (possibly VB.NET, I think), but also a lot of actual JS.

See the actual "History of Redux" and "Prior Art" docs pages, and a couple of my blog posts, for an accurate description of the influences that led to Redux's creation:

Also so far we haven't run out of things to train LLM on, eg images etc are still underutilized, lot of high value content in enterprises not even on public internet.

I'm talking about gutters on the street, beside the kerb. I thought this was implied after I said "keeping your block clean by sweeping and mulching". You routinely see older people in Asia sweeping and raking a communal area if you get up early to walk. There's a (probably obsessive-compulsive) 60 yo guy a few houses down from me in Australia who might've retired early and now goes around raking verges and cleaning the footpath/gutters meticulously. Near my office, there's a woman who bakes bread for the joy of it and sells it at-cost via an honour-box in a sidestreet. She also turns verges and front yards (with owners' permissions) into a community vegetable garden. If others were given an opportunity equivalent to early retirement, these sorts of things might be more common.

As for why: for purpose, for praise, for community, for mental health, for trade/contribution, for skill building, etc. Loads of examples of this already. Maybe none of these things are attractive to you but I don't think that's universal.

Like I said, it's just trying to add to the default UBI, not getting everyone volunteering in their community or else.
I don't get it.

Now, this is obviously both illegal and Immoral.

But also, like... A Lot of work just to expand your porn stash. And it's 2025! There's so much legal, commercial, easily accessible pornography out there to suit all tastes and preferences and formats. So the sheer effort and time and dedication and knowledge to perpetuate such massive amount of illegal activity over a long dedicated period for such a seemingly minuscule if any gain... As I said, I just don't get it :-/
Yes but they do that without doing any of the labour.
What does AI add to this process exactly?
Sorry. I agree, but that's a different question. I'll circle back to that then. Why don't technical people make these interfaces, giving the same love to user experience that something like Docker gets. As you said, it is scriptable, and I think -- us all being programmers here -- we all know that means you can just make the interface easier.
>>The most frustrating thing about dipping in to the FE is that it seems like literally everything is deprecated.

I build a lot of FE stuff for internal company tooling. Production, monitoring, dashboards etc.

Its crazy how the React ecosystem works. Like you can come back after two years to add a feature and realise you now face weeks/months of migrations tasks before you even begin to add the features.

I always compare this to something like say Java. Imagine if Java deprecated and broke everything every 2 years or so. Imagine the omni present migrations projects in the backend.

Sometimes I think this is why banks, and other places that need long term stability are still on php+jquery+LAMP stack.
No, everybody does. And they talk to each other about it, and this affects prices and how investments are allocated, which determines whether and which people have government-influencing amounts of power.

> On the other hand, try telling a construction worker how hard our lives are sitting in chairs clicking buttons.

Construction workers usually chose to do that job instead of call center, cashier or elderly care for instance. The perception of what's stressful or "hard" is I think different (illegal workers who can't do these jobs in the first place being another can of worms)

I also think this is the same perspective for burnout, repetitively doing something that is felt as mind crushing will be a trigger, but what is felt as mind cushing vastly depend on individuals, preferences and predispositions. I don't think there's a single yardstick for that.
I am sorry if this question is dumb, but how does proof of work deter bots/scrappers from accessing a website?

I imagine it costs more resource to access the protected website but would this stop the bots? Wouldn't they be able to pass the challenge and scrap the data after? Or normal scrapbots usually timeout after a small amount of time/ resources is used?

Pre tariffs you could get a whole Carbon bike frame from CN (including stem, handlebar, fork) for $500.

And while I'll give that there was variety between vendors, some of them were doing sophisticated layups with multiple grades of wave that withstood a torture tests far beyond the ANSI bike tests.

In fact you could argue they were overbuilt compared to Western brands (at a cost of 100 - 150g) since they didn't want to deal with warranty claims.

Truly amazing, cheap, good quality mass market carbon products.

&& means there's a sequence. So the second statement will only execute conditioned on the first sequence. So...

Hello World
I SAID Hello World

The left function has to get evaluated before the next function. So it is still related to the previous command.

Docker introduced an ambiguity in the meaning of the word "container". The word existed before Docker, and it was about sandboxing. Docker introduced the analogy of the shipping container, which as ranger207 says, is about sandboxing at the service of distribution.

The two meanings - sandboxing and distribution - have coexisted ever since, sometimes causing misunderstandings and frustration.
