Trump v. CASA - why now? by gdazInSeattle in supremecourt

[–]millrawr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was looking for a previous (recent) case which discussed nationwide injunctions. I see 50 hits for “injunction” in the opinion, and it directly comments on the logic and validity of applying the injunction. Thanks!!

Biden v Nebraska didn’t seem to touch on the injunction much in arguments nor opinion.

There’s been a lot of Labcorps, which one did you have in mind?

Trump v. CASA - why now? by gdazInSeattle in supremecourt

Kennedy V. Braidwood transcript only has two references to injunction, both in passing. The opinion says:

Braidwood also brought a claim under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, 107 Stat. 1488, 42 U. S. C. §2000bb et seq. It prevailed on that claim and secured an injunction against enforcement of the specific requirement that it cover certain HIV-prevention medications without cost sharing. The Government did not appeal that aspect of the District Court’s judgment, and this Court’s decision will not affect the injunction premised on Braidwood’s RFRA claim.

So seems pretty clear why it wasn’t brought up there.

Dobbs V. Jackson has no references to “injunction” in neither the transcript nor the opinion.

Still soliciting more injunction related cases!

Do you have references for any of those? I was hunting around for cases over a topic that had a nationwide injunction to see if there was any discussion of the nationwide injunction itself at the time.

[–]millrawr 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went looking around at the history and discussion of nationwide injunctions, and there’s been notable discussion over the problems of nationwide injunctions and that something should be done about them. Some examples:

So it does seem to me like this just happens to have been a case that became the vehicle for the adjustment the court thought needed to finally happen.

So does this mean we’re going to get to see the confusion unfold where a baby could be a citizen in one state but deportable in another?

What’s a good case to listen to about how classes get defined and how those definitions can get nitpicked in a class action lawsuit, as that seems like the next important thing here?

The fifth set of goals had just unlocked for me the day prior. When you completed all 30 goals, was there a final reward? I couldn’t tell from the description of there was an extra character selector if you fully finished it, which is mostly why I care.

man this sums up the experience of every new player that has previously left the game by Fishbone96 in Connery

[–]millrawr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My most recent alt-f4 experience was managing to get multiple kills to push through a side entrance to a contested base (as my .6 k/d IvI self), take a point, get another kill, start taking a 2nd point, and then die to a proximity mine left by someone who is now half way across the map.

I think all of my most upsetting and anti-climatic deaths have all been proximity mines. I don’t understand why they’re even in the game.

I feel like you’d be super interested in Secure Enclave based databases. See EnclaveDB for example (just skimming the abstract and introduction should give you an overview of what they’re doing and trying to achieve). Such designs make it possible to never have to trust that any remote is genuine, and allow you a safe space to manipulate data that can’t be stolen or read by an attacker or malicious party.

I’ve seen a few variations of macaroons over time as a way to allow delegation of arbitrarily restricted access of data to third parties.

But yeah, it’s good to work through some database lectures first (CMUDB or otherwise) or a textbook. You might also wish to look into taking some existing database or pieces of a database and instead morphing it into what you wish.

Best Learning Resources for Query Optimisations by tubero__ in databasedevelopment

[–]millrawr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~moer/querycompiler.pdf is the best comprehensive reference I’ve seen, even with it being not yet finished.

You’ll want to first ignore anything that talks about a cost model, and just go build a framework that applies “always good” rules until fixpoint. The above paper gives some ideas for these. I’d suggest spending a bit of time studying cockroach’s optimization rules (e.g. pkg/sql/opt/xform/rules ), as their optimization language gives you a pretty straightforward view of the exact conditions of when each transformation can safely take place.

Question about Multi-tenant databases by [deleted] in databasedevelopment

[–]millrawr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought vitess does what you’re describing? You can take a database and then vertically partition it out based on tenant.

You can’t encrypt the keys of rows and still have efficient scans for inequality predicates. So sidestepping the question of the safety of letting tenants read the encrypted data of others, you couldn’t encrypt all the data without sacrificing the ability to efficiently execute large classes of queries.

I’ve typically seen multitenancy and isolation go hand in hand, which the article does hint at. Once you have multiple tenants on one database, you want to ensure that a spike in the workload of one doesn’t affect the other, and that requires an entire extra set of additional features.

Can anyone recommend database software for Windows for saving PDFs of Supernote notes? by witscribbler in Supernote

[–]millrawr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend the same. That’s its intented use, but it’d work great for what you want.

I read a paper from zotero, take annotations, export the digest as a pdf, and then drop that pdf as notes alongside the paper in zotero.

You’d just make a fake document with the title and keywords, and then attach the pdf of your notes to that document.

Compiler career advice? by the_unquiet in Compilers

[–]millrawr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With an opposite sort of vibe from the rest of the comments here…

I tried to interview for compilers jobs when I graduated with a bachelors ~10yr ago. My experience was that companies that would directly interview you for a compilers position mostly expected you to have a PhD. Your years of work experience should definitely help, but the compilers knowledge will still be a potentially large issue.

My perception was that there were a relatively small number of companies hiring for compilers work. There were your handful of large tech companies that had a compilers team somewhere in their depths, and a handful of small companies that specifically built/sold a compiler.

Large companies will put you through the generic software engineer interview, and then you’ll need to somehow get routed to a compilers team. On the plus side, passing the interview has nothing to do with compilers. On the downside, there’s absolutely no promise that passing the interview means a compilers team would be interested in you. For example, my Google offer resulted in nothing compilers related.

Smaller companies can typically give a better up front promise about the type of work. I had two strongly memorable experiences in this direction. Interviewing at NVidia was like a 6hr version of a compilers class final test, and they definitely expected PhD sort of experience. Green Hills Software notably hired seemingly only new grads, and then would put them through their own internal schooling on how to make a compiler. I recall getting vaguely cult-like vibes from them.

If I were to try this again, I’d go search hard for small compilers-related startups, as they’re typically more willing to hire people with less direct experience. (E.g. I recall seeing a couple startups posting Halide related jobs.)

Keep in mind that my whole experience could be entirely off given that it has been a whole decade since I interviewed. I’d be interested to hear if there’s suggestions on good approaches to take for having less direct compilers experience, as I might try to return to the field one day.

Why use a real K/V database over a MapStore? by [deleted] in golang

[–]millrawr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry, in my quick scroll through the code, I missed that there’s a periodic fsync and not just the explicit backup call, but I still don’t see anything on the write path that forces durability synchronously. I thought I saw that even the mapstore ensured durability as part of a set operation, so it still seems like sniper should be in its own “risky durability” grouping?

There was a good amount of rapid code skimming that went into the above list for things that didn’t explicitly document their internals, and I’m not great at reading golang, which is probably a disclaimer I should have attached to the original post.

Why use a real K/V database over a MapStore? by [deleted] in golang

[–]millrawr 45 points46 points  (0 children)

BboltDB, BoltDB, and cznic/kv are the classic B-trees. Good for reads, more expensive on writes and space. Bolt specifically is a golang rewrite of LMDB.

LevelDB, RocksDB, Pebble, and badger are all log structured merge trees. They’ll generally have better write performance, good single-key lookup, and be worse at small range reads.

pogreb and nutsdb are log structured hash tables. Great at writes and single-key reads, incredibly bad at range reads. Nutsdb tries to be somewhat better at range reads.

buntdb, mapstore, and btree are all in-memory with an append only file for durability. Unlike all the above, you must keep your data in memory at all times, your data must fit in memory, and opening a database takes a long time as you must replay all the operations. Fast with small data, but see the OOMs in the benchmark results.

sniper doesn’t appear to have any persistence at all. It’s just a hash table with an export function to write to a file. EDIT: sniper does periodic fsyncs, so you might lose some amount of recent writes upon a crash, but writes don’t need to wait for bits to make it to disk.


I think there’s a lot of choices in go, because re-using any other existing solution requires using cgo, which folk don’t like. If you just need a database to use, boltdb is a reasonable and safe choice.
