Tends to be a matter of opinion. Postgres does not expose the relevant functions, so https://github.com/pganalyze/libpg_query has to do some heavy lifting to convert their source code into a nice library. Conversely, Postgres is very well written code, in an extremely common language, with a stable release cadence, and such a long track record it is seen as the reference implementation for correctly parsing SQL.

Yeah, I don't like this.

We have an Apache licensed project. You absolutely can use it for anything you want, including AI analysis. I don't appreciate third parties deciding on their own what can be done with code that isn't theirs.

In fact I'd say AI is overall a benefit to our project, because we have a large, quite complex platform, and the fact that ChatGPT actually manages to sometimes correctly write scripts for it is quite wonderful. I think it helps new people get started.

In fact in light of the recent Github discussion I'd say I personally see this as a reason to avoid sourcehut. Sorry, but I want all the visibility I can get.

Here, we introduce optical rotatum, a behavior of light in which
an optical vortex beam experiences a quadratic chirp in its orbital
angular momentum along the optical path. We show that such an adiabatic
deformation of topology is associated with the accumulation of a Gouy
phase factor, which, in turn, perturbs the propagation constant (spatial
frequency) of the beam.

"Captain, if we can't reduce the adiabadic deformation of the Gouy phase factor, we'll never escape this optical vortex beam!"

> I am open to someone making such a point

Someone else is not you presenting an argument. You making an argument about what you know about 1+1=2 is what is boring. Let's be real: You're not going to do it. Why would you? You are already confident in your understanding.

I mean, do it if you want. I'm not sure why you'd waste your time, though. You aren't going to gain anything from it.

Only if you really had no idea what is going on and wish to understand a topic in more detail would you go down the road of getting into an argument. But when you are in that state you are not in a position to have made a mind.
The logical endgame is 30 second certificates...

Not disagreeing with you, but isn't the issue that the US stopped investing in the skills and infra which made mass-production low-skill in the first place?

Instead, the offshore-destinations kept offering more and more services in the value-chain, until the entire skillset to actually create the low-skill labor processes to offshore was replaced with "let the offshore company manage".
Ok - so here's an example I can provide input on.

I have a bunch of white oak from a tree I cut down and had milled into lumber.

I wanted to make a bunch of benches for friends/family, etc. I have the lumber so all I needed was the bench ends/legs.

I looked at the domestic options and it was going to cost. I couldn't find anyone that would sell a set of legs for under $300 a piece or wanted me to "contact them for pricing." and that's all BEFORE shipping.

Keep in mind that your local bigbox store sells an almost exact replica of the made in China bench legs with crap lumber for $99. It'd be cheaper for me to buy those, junk the lumber and use my own.

I then checked alibaba and walked through the process of getting RFQ. The competent sellers who knew what I wanted and what to do were easy to work with and quick to check the various shipping costs - the per unit price would be pretty low($20ish even with my low volume order) but shipping would be $50-$70 a per set of legs due to the weight of the cast iron. BUT, now, even with tariffs, that leg would go from $~90 to $180ish AND I'd still be well below what the domestic cost is.

If I go forward at all, I'll still probably go with the Alibaba folks. I don't see how USA manufacturers will suddenly start producing these sort of bulky intermediary consumer products anytime soon.

The nicotine bottle size constraint is a safety concern. Spilling a 200ml bottle of nicotine easily has the potential to cause lethality or morbidity through skin absorption, particularly in children. A 10ml bottle can still cause injury, but it is way more likely to be survivable.

In this case, the safety concerns outweigh the environmental concerns.

While I agree with the high-level point of this post, that is "You can’t (win an argument with a toddler). That’s because toddlers don’t understand what an argument is and aren’t interesting in having one", I found then the obvious follow on question "OK, if you can't win this argument, then what do you actually do when people in great positions of power are having these fake arguments/tantrums?" not even addressed.

For example, when some of the most outlandish and obviously false social media conspiracy theories first hit the scene (e.g. QAnon, the totally bizarre "JFK Jr. is alive" theory, etc.) I thought "OK, this is just bad fan fic, best to just ignore it." But then I was amazed and pretty depressed about how these theories gained traction, and sometimes in the highest levels of power. So I feel like the advice of "Just ignore toddlers having a tantrum" is pretty counterproductive when you realize those tantrums are actually serving a very useful (and in my opinion scary) purpose for the people throwing them.
You better believe 4chan is as much of a government space as those other social media sites are. Just because you don't have to give three forms of ID and a mobile phone number to post doesn't mean they're not involved.

Totally unrelated, but this reminds me of my favorite title of a math article: "How often should you beat your kids?" (it's about a certain simple combinatorial game)

https://people.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/zagier/files/math-mag/63-2/f...

(My favorite line: "Levasseur analyzes the game and shows that on average you will have a score of n + (sqrt(pn) - 1)/2 + O(1/sqrt(n)) while the kid will have exactly n. We maintain, however, that only the most degenerate parent would play against a two-year-old for money, so the question should be not by how much you expect to win, but with what probability you will win at all.")

How you define "external stuff" matters though. As soon as your function is calling another function, your test can be argued to be an "integration test", as you're now implicitly also testing the logic of the other function.

Alternatively you mock _everything_ and then your "unit test" ends up just being a tautological test asserting that "the code I wrote executes in the way I wrote it". (Not to mention that every time you mock something you are also implicitly asserting what the expected behavior of that thing is).

The only truly reliable tests are E2E tests, but they are too expensive to cover all possible permutations as there are just too many.

This is the catch 22 with testing, and we're always forced to make pragmatic choices about where to draw our boundaries to maximize the value (i.e. actual bugs caught) of them.

Orchestrate the renewal with Ansible - renew on the "master" server remotely but pull the new key material to your orchestrator and then push them to your server fleet. That's what I do. It's not "clean" or "ideal" to my tastes, but it works.

It also occurred to me that there's nothing(?) preventing you from concurrently having n valid certificates for a particular hostname, so you could just enroll distinct certificates for each host. Provided the validation could be handled somehow.

The other option would maybe be doing DNS-based validation from a single orchestrator and then pushing that result onto the entire fleet.

You are not required to seed immediately, nor even the same asset. Unless the rules have changed, you would usually just be required to maintain a particular minimum seed lifetime ratio that is easily achieved by idle seeding a library.

The point is to ensure network health with a metric that is simple to understand and verify: that you have been a productive. If you aren't seeding, someone else has to pick up the slack and the network didn't benefit from you obtaining the blocks.

The community itself benefits by giving members a guarantee that stuff there is available with abundant bandwidth, instead of relying purely on the unpaid goodwill of others.

Isn't cursor already the "cursor for code review?"
Yeah pretty funny to see mostly the same people calling for a $20+/hr "minimum wage" on one hand, and bemoaning the tarrifs on the other hand. They will tell you that if you can't pay your employees that much, then you don't have a viable business. But they will turn around and whine about how their cheap Chinese crap purchases are now going to cost what a "viable" domestic producer would have to charge.

I agree that availing yourself of other people's charity for the sake of gaining a novel experience is gross if they have no way to decline or you're misrepresenting your circumstances. I think you've got a poorly adjusted take on the level of imposition happening in the situations described here though.

When I thumb a ride with a boat over my shoulder, nobody has to stop, and I'm sure nobody feels too bad for the dummy who might have to walk all afternoon because he decided to huck a river without a shuttle plan. When the author crashes at a fire-house, my hunch is the chief isn't worried that if he declines then the guy who's been camping for most of his trip anyway is going to freeze to death. Maybe he's just stoked to do someone a solid and chitchat with a traveler on a slow night. These are not 'CEO at a foodbank' type situations.

If I go on a mission to yoink a boater out of a gnarly river, I never hear anyone on my S&R crew worrying over whether the subject could have afforded a guided trip instead. We're just happy to help, and hope they learn from the experience. I think people legitimately enjoy helping eachother out more than you assume here, and are probably less concerned with economic status of the recipient than you.

> Ironically this effort to relate to other real live humans with normal incomes is only possible by indulging in the ultimate luxury, which is taking major time off of work rather than being stuck working a shit job.

So what do you advocate for here? Growing the increasing cultural isolation between economic classes because those lucky enough to afford time off work should be so concerned with potentially imposing that they shamefully avoid putting themselves in situations where they could benefit from the help of someone less well off?

Wealth inequality is a huge problem, and I'm excusing the level of salt in your comment because I agree with your general theme that exploitation of that dynamic is bad. But it feels like you're attacking a harmless treatment because you're upset the disease exists in the first place.

I am by no means an export on manufacturing, nor international trade, economics, or virtually anything relevant to manufacturing. Just a layman here.

Observationally I fear there is a lack of nuance in discussing "bringing back manufacturing" (really re-expanding) to the U.S.

I fear the lack of nuance is due to bias based on not liking the guy in the red tie or the other guy that's in a blue tie so there's just blinders about whether or not a particular policy will achieve a particular stated goal.

The next thing I see is it just lumping manufacturing all into one bucket.

Take manufacturing smartphones. Because the U.S. doesn't assemble iPhones the U.S. appears to be bad at manufacturing? No, I think it's just not good at assembling iPhones.

Just looking at numbers, sure the U.S. steel production is dwarfed by China but globally it's still a major producer. And there's no discussion of quality.

Look at oil & gas. I'm pretty sure the U.S. both produces the raw material and refined product at a significant amount globally.

Plastic manufacturing. I toured a bottle manufacturing plant last summer. It's primary a customer was Limited Brands (Victoria Secret)

It built molds. It upgraded factory equipment roughly every 8 years (increasing production & reducing labor costs). Why was it able to manufacturer bottles in the U.S. even it's selling at a higher price? Because it's primary customer was essentially down the street. That is, apparently the cost to not import across the globe more than offset the cost to manufacture here.

I understand that's just an example and I'm trusting the information from that company was reliable.

But first I think we need to be honest about how much manufacturing is here and what type. Then discuss which policies are likely to achieve goals we may have in mind.

I think there's merit to manufacturing semiconductors and batteries here. But we need to also be aware that while manufacturing may bring jobs, an increasing amount of labor will be automated.

This is great news. This would blow a hole in two interesting places where leaf-level certificate pinning is relied upon:

1. mobile apps.

2. enterprise APIs. I dealt with lots of companies that would pin the certs without informing us, and then complain when we'd rotate the cert. A 47-day window would force them to rotate their pins automatically, making it even worse of a security theater. Or hopefully, they switch rightly to CAA.
This gives me a geocities vibe.
