Unless you take time to measure how much you get done (how would you even measure such a thing consistently?) - you might think you're getting more done even though you're not. Kind of like multitasking can feel really productive, even though productivity actually decreases.
In flux, all the data are stored in stores.

When a component needs data, it subscribes to the relevant stores, and updates itself on data changes.

When you want to mutate the data, you call an action, which in turns mutate the data in the store. Since the components are subscribed to stores, they get the new data automatically.

Stores subscribe to a central dispatcher, listening to all actions. When an action fires, they look the action's data, and mutate their data if it is relevant to them.

The data flow is action-> dispatcher-> store -> component -> action.

When you want to get data from a rest endpoint, you fire an action from the component. The action fetches the data, and pushes it to dispatcher.
No - but they could issue you a copy of a book with a negotiated agreement between the two of you that you would not copy and/or resell the book, and that it was for your use only - say to proofread a copy, or keep something secret.

That can't happen simply by printing "not for resale" inside the book - but it can certainly happen during binding contract negotiation.
People say this like it's a foregone conclusion. But it's only so if you believe that secretly, Apple believes that the iPhone and iPhone experience is outright inferior to Android.

I don't think even Android fans could say it's that cut and dry for the general population.

What's more, it's not even clear Apple wants the majority share in their market. We assume they do, but if they manage to capture the bulk of the smartphone market then a lot of things they do will start to come under stricter regulation by the FTC. As long as they are a healthy, profitable, but not dominant player they're clear to make a ton of money and edge out all competition.

Sometimes I think people profoundly misjudge Apple's business plan.
This isn't a threat to dropbox becaue (as I read it) you have to set up your own server, or maybe hook up on a friends server. While this is certainly a great feature that a lot of people will value, the beauty of dropbox is that it just works. Without you having to install a server.

I see the following obstacles with installing a server for sparkleshare:

1) You need a server. This might be obvious, but normal people don't have one.

2) You need to monitor your server. If the architecture is anything like dropbox it doesn't need to have 100% uptime since synchronizing will just be delayed a bit, but you still need to check in every now and then to make sure everything is OK.

3) Installing a server has never been easy. There is always some sort of problem with port forwarding, IP adresses, proxies, etc. unless you have a server somewhere in the cloud which most people don't. Normal people are barely aware of what a server is. See point 1.

4) Your backups are still your worry. What makes dropbox great is that I know that if they lose my data they have a serious business problem - they'll be held accountable. I'll write rants on my blog and everyone on HN will read it. They'll go through great lengths to prevent this. Besides their knowledge of backup procedures, RAID disks, redundancy and what have you is far far greater than mine. (At least I hope so :-)) If I host my files on my own server I'm the one that's accountable.

I see this as a great service for companies that have some IT staff and aren't comfortable having all their company files hosted by another company, and hackers that prefer their own server. But it's not a threat to dropbox, which is getting popular among non-techies. My mom even has dropbox installed.
In practical terms there is no power; it is just tradition.

But your point is sound; from my observation US culture isn't suited for a monarch.
I think some of us have realized (perhaps after the fact) that getting laid is actually overrated. It's the game that's fun, not actually getting laid. Furthermore, this game is really #$@*ing shallow and stupid.

Still others have realized that it's not getting laid that matters, it's the ability to get laid, and to keep it coming. Part of that is having something material, which (though not strictly necessary) is quite useful for getting laid.

Once you realize one or both of these points, you pretty much stop caring about getting laid (i.e. why bother?), and start chasing your dreams again.

This is all probably for the better, in the end, because getting laid (or not) doesn't seem to correlate as well with having meaningful relationships, and frankly, I've seen too many bright friends waste their potential by spending their prime years trying to game members of the opposite sex (emphasis on the plural).
Not at all. I think humanity engineering things for its own benefit, including biology, is good. But evolution as a force of nature has been proceeding uninterrupted for millions of years and many species have gone extinct when their niches disappear, or their adaptations become less advantageous. Humanity has evolved to be able to create technology beneficial for us. I don't necessarily see how it immediately follows that using that technology to preserve other species is beneficial.
And an even bigger misunderstanding is thinking that this negates or somehow neutralizes the fact that so much high tech manufacturing takes place in mainland China. I get it - China hasn’t done complex silicon fabrication yet (at least at scale). But the risk here isn’t a Chinese company replacing e.g. Intel and the US Military (stupidly) putting those chips in their hardware. It’s China MITMing the supply chain as it exists today.

Yes. The quality of software has definitely gone down. Then again, so has the quality of everything else, from engineering to urban planning to infrastructure maintenance. A possible explanation for this phenomena is that the global mean IQ has also fallen quite a bit over the last 50 years and continues to fall[0].

Sorry for the lack of clarity. I meant that the form of presentation should be useful for aiding understanding, not coincidental. I didn't mean to implythat the content itself should be useful (in the sense that it has practical applications). It's OK for a video to just be a little mental puzzle.
I love the DSL DataMapper has created. It is my favorite ORM. Unfortunately most gems for Rails use ActiveRecord. Rails 3's ActiveModel should make it much easier for other ORMs to compete. Thank you DataMapper team.

You are right on some fronts. It does require some work in Emacs to set up the ideal dev. environment.

I mostly do C/C++ stuff. I use gnu global for code tagging and navigation [1](aka "goto definition" thing). As for project organization, I have no experience but you might want to check out CEDET [2]. It appears that CEDET has made it into emacs trunk, so hopefully you can get some nicer "project" stuff in emacs soon.

The post wording "Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database" isn't clear that's all needed for the constantly-consulted index; just that's what the indexing system uses, including perhaps rarely-consulted information. They might also be reporting uncompressed data sizes, or counting all the raw 'storage' used to store info in triplicate (or more).

So the live data consulted for almost all web queries might be be much much less than 100 PiB of index data, and thus fit far more economically in RAM.

I always recommend that entrepreneurs form a company before they build a product. Everyone needs some equity up front for the work done to date. This equity is given in exchange for the company to take ownership of all the technology built today. The rest needs to be allocated to everyone (even you) on a vesting schedule. The end goal being that after the vest period the equity is evenly distributed. Vesting schedules have cliffs that distribute shares. Typically I recommend a 5 year vesting schedule with 12 month cliffs. If someone works for 11 months and vanishes you don't owe them any of the unvested equity in the business. If they leave after 1 year and three months they only vested the first year of equity on the schedule.

The issue at hand is that none of these roles is ever really done. It's very likely that someone will up and vanish for one reason or another while the company is being built and the remaining founders will have to bring someone else in and offer them equity to pickup where the previous person left off. Ensure you have take with and come with provisions for the protection of all shareholders.

Details: I would form the company as a corporation in Delaware with more shares allocated than distributed. Base your vesting schedule off of the shares allocated and not the possible number of shares distributed. This gives you the ability to sell shares to investors without having to pay a lawyer again in the future.

This is what I think about government in general. People complain about it but we live in country (if in US) where most stuff works, most stuff is safe. We don't have ferry disasters, we don't have serious virus outbreaks, the power almost never goes out, and the water is drinkable. This is because people work everyday to keep this up.

I know Musk is typically awkward on stage, but this one is the worst by far. He seems like he's on drugs. It's not even the way he speaks, it's like looking around paranoid. The car failed the glass demo, and he seems completely out of sync with the presentation and the videos. The audience cheers seem staged, too. Whoever's responsible for managing this did a disaster of a job.

There are two major problems I've found.

1. Poor interpretation: "distribution of compact support" brings up nothing very useful in DDG -- a bunch of linkfarms, it looks like -- but in Google the third result for me is a relevant .pdf from Oregon State.

2. Users attempting to ad-hoc convert math notation into ascii: Google understands "l 2 space", but DDG thinks I mean "l2space" which is some sort of gallery in I don't know where.

It's a hard, nontrivial problem.
I would say there's not a lot of real, valuable sites on Flippa but they do come through. Sites of lower prices do have a better chance being legit but there's also a lot of worthless sites created just to sell. If you have a website with real, verifiable income, you can get $10,000 for it, you just need to prove it.

If you sell it within the first year, you probably can't get more than 4-6 times monthly revenue (not enough history). If you've got 12 months of revenue history, the prices start going up and solid sites get 10-12 months revenue etc.

I met my wife this way. Both had accounts on a LiveJournal-like site, both gravitated to the same circle of friends, mutual interest became more and now she's been my best friend for 7 years. We've met others (on our honeymoon driving through Houston, on our move to Baltimore when we passed through Ohio, going to a wedding of two other friends who we met this way and who met each other that way).

They are the deepest friendships. You don't become friends over the Internet without good communication - everything else is secondary.

As much as I dislike Microsoft, you have a point. When compared to serious RDBMS hardware costs, 30K is not much. And you won't go much further on an SQL database than SQL Server or Oracle can take you.

If you plan to go further than that, you should have an exit NoSQL strategy ready.
What's the algorithm?

Definitely enjoying FF4. I'm still wondering how I ever did without the "Pin as App Tab" option.
Everyone always mentions that buying more items from a single Amazon store would make shipping cheaper? Is that ever true? Of all the online stores I've made purchases from, I believe monoprice is the only one that appears to base shipping on tiers based on item size/mass. All the rest simply charge a set rate for each item, and it doesn't matter how you divide your shipments up into different orders.
If that only had enough storage for my music and a fingerprint unlock, I'd get it. Really even just a fingerprint unlock would be enough. I can't stand face unlock.

I think one could expand the project to incorporate virtual participants that can explore the physical workspace via computer pretty easily. Since the stuff only can come to life when there is a computer that can interpret everything. At the end there would still have to be someone who materializes the virtual objects made by remote participants.

"I.B.M. said yesterday that it had agreed to pay $320 million to current and former employees to settle in part a class-action lawsuit over its pension plan in a case that may affect millions of workers at many companies and nonprofit organizations.

"Under the settlement, I.B.M.'s liability in the case will be limited to an additional $1.4 billion if the courts uphold a ruling that a new pension plan discriminates against its older workers and is illegal. ..."

"For older workers with years in a traditional plan, the switch to a cash-balance plan at age 45 or older can halve the benefits they ultimately collect, compared with a traditional defined-benefit plan."

There was also an additional lawsuit involving the difference between employees and contractors, but I can't find the details now.

Also note that IBM went from 400,000 employees in 1985 to 225,000 in 1995, also losing on things like OS/2, PCs, mainframes. And as for as I know, IBM has not created any major, successful software projects since 1990 or so.
You can't have taken a college-level course in applied mathematics without touching Matlab. Maybe not all statistics courses use it, but we definitely used it when we were learning about newton elimination, linear/poly regression and other things where you solve mathematical equations that aren't analytically solvable.

And yes, that was a mandatory course for CompSci. You mean people get through CS without touching Matlab and such? That's bonkers.

Any particular reason why I cant just use facebook/twitter or other similar things for taking these surveys.

Parallels on M1 will run many games well, and some near perfectly. There's also Wine / Crossover which does better on some games and worse on others. If you had both, you could probably run the majority of Windows games out there.

> I imagine that part of it is for security.

Sure, that much is clear. But we're discussing it in contrast with other security-preserving approaches. "For security" only really makes sense we were asking, "Why do any of these things at all?", but we're past that. What we're asking is "Why this thing specifically?"—especially where that thing is expensive.

> Figma has a good overview of the different approaches they considered for their JavaScript plugin system, and JS-in-JS was one of them

First: to reiterate, JS-in-WASM is not JS-in-JS.

Secondly: Mirrors, notably, are not among the approaches they evaluated. I advocated for an evaluation of a similar Mirrors-based approach in the HN thread at the time that the Figma post was published:

That GoDaddy acknowledged the issue after only a day (over a weekend, no less) is impressive. Surely they deserve another few days to figure out a timeline for a fix.
Even the 737 MAX was very safe though. That's why it was notable: it was a genuine safety regression with a clear root cause in an industry that had been getting steadily and inexorably safer for decades and decades.
I've been using black at work for over a year now. I don't much care for some of the choices it makes, which can sometimes be quite ugly, but I've grown used to it and can (nearly) always anticipate how it will format code. One nice side effect of encouraging its use is how, at least where I work, it was very common to use the line continuation operator \ instead of encompassing an expression in parentheses. I always hated that and black does away with it.

What I don't much care for is reorder-python-imports, which I think is related to black (but don't quote me). For the sake of reducing merge conflicts it turns the innocuous

from typing import overload, List, Dict, Tuple, Option, Any

into

from typing import overload

from typing import List

from typing import Tuple

from typing import Option

from typing import Any

Ugh. Gross. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never had a merge conflict due to an import line so the cure seems worse than the disease.

Edit: Just to be 100% clear: this is python-reorder-imports, not black. I thought they were related projects, though maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, black on its own won't reorder imports.
Hilarious considering the 2 things are completely different.

But doesn't the article suggest that the recent rapid rise comes from methane produced by microbes? If this is true, it is not the melting permafrost, but (intensive) agriculture that is the culprit.

> But since 2007, when methane levels began to rise more rapidly again, the proportion of methane containing 13C began to fall (see ‘The rise and fall of methane’). Some researchers believe that this suggests that much of the increase in the past 15 years might be due to bacterial sources, rather than the extraction of fossil fuels.
in my opinion, this tendency to label anything less-than-ideal as 'garbage' is an outdated leftover of a time when assholish (and unrealistic) perfectionism was admired in software engineering, or at least looked up to as 'good engineering'.

This binary outlook is what leads to people who don't understand the reasons behind why existing code is the way it is to criticize. Frankly, when someone does it (and I have done it, lots of times, to my chagrin now) its a pretty good marker of engineering immaturity.

This is different than looking at something and identifying ways it could be better, btw. The latter is value-neutral and judgement-free.

Capitalism can be very brutal at times.

The approach capitalism takes when a restaurant business begins to fail is to ask 'How can I make tasty food for cheap, so that more people can buy from me?'

This is really like asking why does Costo sell its hot dog deal for $1.50, why shouldn't they be more responsible selling a Salad or something. The right way to approach such questions is to ask, what do people want to eat?
