I've always wondered what happens at the deeper levels of a DB beyond just SQL-literacy. The memory-management tricks (pages, overflows, pointers and remains techniques etc.) is always a great reminder of low-level abstractions I am bl

Not OP, but: Moving back to Austin, the overwhelming number of cumulus clouds in the sky reminded him how much he enjoyed their marshmallowy appearance. They don't exist in the Bay, hence his first sentence being true. Presumably he sp

I'm not so sure thats correct. The Labs seem to offer the best overall products in addition to the best models. And requirements for models are only going to get more complex and stringent going forward. So yes, open source will be abl

This is a technical forum, isn't pretentious name dropping kind of what we do? Seriously though, I appreciated it because my curiosity got the better of me and I went down a quick rabbit hole in Sugiyama, comparative graph algorithms,

Although this is clearly the equivalent of Cloudflare propaganda, they are trying to address the issue of connecting a user and an agent in a way that respects the users privacy. They effectively use credentials and cryptography to link the

As a Fireman/EMT of 7 years whos been in high-tech for almost 10 - I feel sorry for this guy. Sure, some parts of work will definitely get better and feel different. But a lot will get worse. Say goodbye to good working conditions and

As a southerner who has also pondered this, I think it's simply the basic nature of the menu and local nature of the employees. Food is basically just pre-made batter, eggs, potatoes, and processed meat; all of which holds well and onl

I don't think this is relevant. Even on-prem "air gapped" networks get breached. I would say it happens on as frequent a basis as any other network tbh. Microsoft hacks get headlines because Microsoft is a public company; the

How is YJS different from introducing CRDT? Doesn't it basically just do that for you anyways? If CRDT is complications and difficult to manage, either YJS resolves that completely, or more likely that complexity will leak out of the a

Because at this point it's a well known API. I bet people want to recreate AWS without the Amazon part, and so this is for them. Which, to your point, makes no sense because as you rightly point out, people use S3 because of the Amazon

The preceding lines in this surah explicitly mention this is addressed to wives of the Prophet who are unlike other women. The answer in your link even explicitly mentions this is their interpretation outside of what is explicitly written.

It's mostly neglect on behalf of the teams. In this case, the code was never audited and was created by a rather immature team that was rushing for production. So recupe for disaster. In truth you can write code that is upgradable or a

Most people on HN here don't have a clue of what they are talking about, whether it is financial market regulation or cryptocurrency or blockchain technology. What makes this topic difficult to approach is the degree of complex issues

What are you talking about? Read some history prior to the 4 years of the SEC. Look at the suggested reforms the SEC was supposed to undertake AS IDENTIFIED BY CONGRESS. Then look at what actual reforms where implemented. I'll help you

Public companies swindle quite often, and usually with more catastrophic results. When are we going to admit that the current rules are no longer working?

Equating public financial statements with "transparency" is a fallacy. It creates moral hazard and over-emphasizes private audit facilities. Is it objectively better than non-public financial statements? Maybe. Is it worth saying

Are you saying the fork was a bad thing? Or are you critiquing crypto people for not living up to their values? For both points, I'd like to mention that there is no universal value set or profile.

A lot of the database solutions don't seem to account for full security or full verification of the transaction context. You can certainly create an audit trail for all database activity, but auditing other aspects of the product requi

Currencies ARE assets. Even fiat currency requires it be viewed as an asset by society to then lend its usage as a currency.

It's not an entirely technical hurdle, but eventually you run into repeated issues when trying to recreate application context across different applications. That means to do so at scale can be solved by a technology solution. To me th
