MyISAM was historically notably faster for simple SELECTs on the primary key and SELECT COUNT(*).

InnoDB had ranged from slightly faster to much slower than Postgres depending on exactly what you’re doing. Once you’re doing more than trivial queries the MySQL optimizer tends to fall apart, often in weird ways with arbitrary thresholds where performance goes from decent to terrible after a table grows by 5%.
Another common thing I had to learn when I switched to fish, is the basic for-loop construct. Luckily it's super simple, here is an example:

for f in (ls -1 *py); echo $f; end

One more thing to note is setting ENV var FOO to value bar is

set -x FOO bar

Note no equal sign. To delete an ENV var use `set -e FOO`.

If you want to set ENV vars permanently for your login shell, the file to edit is `~/.config/fish/config.fish` and the syntax is:

set -gx PATH $PATH /some/new/path

which means set var PATH to whatever PATH contained before with /some/new/path appended to it.
The HDMI examples mentioned at the start are the ones that cause the most confusion, but also are the most useful: HDMI cables are readily and cheaply available while having decently standardized specifications, whereas a more unusual connector often relies on the vendor making them (and making them available for years in the future!).

A similar example are PCIe "extenders" (often used in cryptocurrency mining rigs) that use USB3 connectors and cables to transport 1x PCIe.
"Very" is hardly the word I would use. Not to the same level as a politician, for example. And certainly wasn't a public figure under his real name.
> So he denounced the works of one person who believes bad things, but he also linked to a second person, who may or may not believe bad things, but is liked by a third group of people who also believe bad things, so...logically...that must mean he actually does...support the first person? Despite denouncing them, because he didn't link to them, which proves...something...?

The NYT is apparently run by Glenn Beck now. Dude, just connect the dots. It all fits.
I think you misunderstood my usage of "your choice". I was using it as an indefinite pronoun, i.e. "one's choice".

My point was that turning one's choice of synonymous terminology into a marker of political bias is itself an interesting comment on how difficult it is for people to engage in curious discussion about China. Given that at HN we are expected to assume good faith, I think it's fair to assume that most people who use CCP (or CPC) are not deliberately trying to take a side, they are just using a convenient acronym.
Consider the situation in the US:

Unemployment spiked from 4% to 14% yes, but on the flipside, what about the 80% or so that didn't lose their jobs? We still got stimulus checks, while paying less for entertainment and transportation (if we could work from home). What else to do with that extra money? Put it in GameStop, perhaps?
Holiday travel?

This page doesn't have previous months on it. Or I haven't found it with ten seconds of looking.
> they were raised and educated by society and have inherited technology unprecedented in scale and influence.

any this opportunity was available to "everyone" in society. its just that only some chose to take it early on, and reaped the proportionate reward to having taken it on early (not knowing that it would lead to this end result). Now that it is known that tech is high pay, people now naively claim that it's unfair, and that the tech jobs should "pay" for this inequality of outcome.
If that 40% is real and you're entirely confident about it as your post implies, just go to the bank and get a personal loan for as much as you can borrow, and invest that. Within a few years you'll have your millions. If you don't do that then you're not willing to gamble your own financial stability on your system, which begs the question why should anyone else?
I don't think marrying a billionaire heiress is the best way to get into Google.
It's pretty embarrassing that you can read most of the article with the paywall intact.
He says that there are two forms of "R", one as in "red" and the other as in "car". I've been sitting here reciting these to myself over and over, and I can't hear a difference. Neither can my wife, who has a degree in linguistics and speaks English and French fluently.

Can someone explain the difference?
>I'd go with A. If something does not exist, then nobody will expect it to

Copy and Paste existed in smart phones long before the iPhone was ever released. It's something that existed and people expected in the iPhone from day one. (And since most of those phons had physical keypads, the UI mechanism for doing it was fairly intuitive)
What in Apple's recent behavior makes you think they're just going to sit and wait to die?

>Apple has a pretty good headstart but they have to compete against a whole industry, they don't have a shot.

Odd to see an opinion like this on a site that leans toward Entrepreneurs.
> Do you really expect either Steve or this engineering manager to be replying within 48 hours?

It wouldn't be unreasonable for the engineering manager to get back to him within a few says. There are plenty of slow coasters and non-communicators in large organizations. Most people who are competent accept the beuracracy then find ways of routing around them to get things done. The good companies avoid hiring them in the first place.

It would have taken very little to:

* Real email sent specifically to them. I get a thousand plus emails a day and read every one of these within about 3 hours. My colleagues get way more but still do the same.

* Respond with 'completely snowed under, sorry, want to give this a few hours to look at properly' back to the poster.

That said, I don't think sending email to Steve was a good idea. Call or fax or whatever - if he's out, ask for an offsider to talk to. But bothering the CEO is inappropriate.
I've written some software which I occasionally receive emails about. I'll say this: if you ask an intelligent question, I will very likely help you. However, if you follow that up by peppering me with further questions or come across as demanding/pushy, I'm very likely to ignore you.

This is also generally true for open source projects and I'm not surprised the same applies for Apple.

OP: you screwed up. you have noone to blame but yourself.
Honest question: how many people here actually think they are dumber than the average person?
Some would find this horrifying. In fact, I've crawled in dead fish slime for a paycheck and I would rather be productive in reality.
So you are willing to have a worse experience and pay more for it for some ideology that ends up failing in the end anyway? Who are you arguing is more practical here? :)

Personally I think ideology must always bend to practicality or you end up with some really ridiculous results. I personally think Jobs wants to make the experience for the user the best possible. Not because he is benevolent, but rather because he is worried about what people will say about things he made. And in his case that takes priority over any open ideology that will actually result in a worse experience (that people will associate with him/Apple).
I'm using the latest version of Chromium on Ubuntu and the book is too broken to read
Every so often I run across a well done mobile site. The vast majority of them are terrible. Just this morning I tried to follow a link from my Twitter client, only to find that salon.com redirected me to a broken page on mobile.salon.com - just a white page, with nothing I could do about it, so I ended up not reading their story or viewing their ads.

Incidentally, while trying to get around it, I discovered that 'mobsalon.com' is available.
In general, an isolated video is not interesting. It becomes more interesting and potentially scary once you have a digital, searchable, analyzable history of video customer transactions.

Reduce leakage/theft:

If a cashier has been already flagged and the customer matches up in the network of cashier's friends (Facebook?), possibly in conjunction with another theft deterrent system, be able for managers to watch in real time a potential leakage event (where they don't scan certain items).

Hyper-targeted marketing:

(New) wedding ring detected. Commence deluge of in-kind marketing partnerships with Home Depot, maybe even Crate & Barrel.

Customer over the past three months has been showing signs of possible pregnancy relative to their baseline body mass index. Somehow, non creepily, market to them via 3rd party mailing lists who had no idea how you learned she was expecting or more subtly by changing the default landing homepage of walmart.com to reflect more future mother when her cookie is detected.

Kids. If the kids seem hyperactive in the overhead view, email coupons for toys that appeal to ADD-type kids.

Over the last year of transactions, customer's head has been exhibiting signs of male pattern baldness. Send them targeted coupons for hats to see if they think its something they need to cover up.

RFID:

If RFID ever really enters the picture, via Walmart customer RFID cards - then you can get into real dystopian scenarios of following someone through the entire store.
How does commuting fit in this? The problem of commuting is related to the fact that majority of commuting is synchronized to within 2 ~2-3 hour periods. As long as we have this happening, the 'naive' argument is that commuting actually argues for longer work days with less days of work. 4x10 or something, so the travel:work ratio is better.

Even a more flexible work schedule (for everyone) is not necessarily the solution. The fact that most people will be working during the day will mean that there will always been surges ~8-10 and ~4-6. It might lessen it's effect, but it'll still be there, and after the initial adjustment period, will seem every bit as unproductive and annoying.

Commuting isn't going to get better unless a very large percentage switches to work at home, or lives within walking/biking distance of their workplace, or everyone accepts some great overlord who coordinates everyone's travel and work time to minimize peak traffic (I'm sure the relevant algorithms already exist).
He has also presented at Black Hat in Vegas.
I learned these kinds of tricks when I started using python 12 years ago, but I have basically never had a need for them. Perhaps my needs are simple, though.
Jeebus... that sign up form is damn annoying and VERY difficult to figure out how to close. You may be getting info but I'm guessing most of it is fake just to shut up the site... further more redirecting me to Facebook was not what I wanted and felt forceful and abrasive.

Those issues plus this post are reasons why you shouldn't get the laptop due to the fact that you're so fixated on your prize that you aren't actually helping, you're hurting.
Trials have to prove someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If agents involved in the investigations were caught misbehaving, that may very well add doubt to the validity of the investigation's results. Or at least it could delay the trial while the results are re-evaluated.
I'm curious if people who say they're using some Java framework for the speed in place of some Ruby framework. which they would prefer for the language, know about JRuby?

And if they do, why not use the Ruby app of choice under JRuby? Pretty much all of the dozen+ Ruby Web frameworks can be bundled up as WAR files and dropped off for Glassfish (or tomcat or whatever) to handle.
Line spacing (particularly between paragraphs) doesnt match, and header negative-margins make it look uneven to me.
They're not doing nothing; they're risking their money. Risk is hard to get right every time.
Yes, it uses STUN - you can see it on the keynote slides when he listed the standards used.

By the way, this article makes it sound like Posterous invented the concept of not having accounts? Even though it was obviously invented by 2channel.
Thank you for taking the time to write down this thoughtful analysis. I wish I could upvote you more than once! :)
But then ink dots are either there or not, you cannot have as many different colors as you can in one screen pixel. So comparing laser printer resolution to screen resolution is not so simple.

A 300 ppi screen is a 1200 sub-ppi screen. Those subpixels are not as versatile as ink dots in some ways (a green subpixel can’t suddenly turn red) but more versatile in other ways (as you already said, a ink dot is either there or not – it can have a few different sizes but it’s arguably easier for a subpixel to change its brightness).
I find it somewhat silly that on finding out her son didn't match her first though was that he had been switched, rather than that there was an error in the testing. Which is more likely to happen?
Oh boy, no apple in browser extensions/apps.

Technically, sandboxing is inspired from chrome. And even packaging sounds lot similar to chrome.

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/dev/packaging.html

Now how apple distributes those 'digital certificates' is important.
I'm 26, work a 9-5, then do freelance work in my spare time.

It's heaven. I have 3 jobs right now, one of which is a full time salaried gig with benefits, and the other two are moderate contract positions that I work in my spare time.

There is no stagnation here. I code on easy stuff at work all day, then go home and explore technologies that a BigCo will never use. Down the road when looking for another job, there just won't be big roadblocks, just a massive list of code and projects completed.
You're reading into it and you're overstepping. I have no such revulsion.

I was in the military, so I'm quite aware of the programs they offer. My point, if you'll read it, is that Manning no longer qualifies for those benefits, and that said benefits should not be offered by the prison system.
I mostly write javascript all day, and I'm pretty sure that less than 0.01% of the javascript I've ever written is called often enough to make closure allocation time a serious concern. By all means, optimize if you're writing an inner loop body that gets called a million times per pageload, but I think most of us don't need to worry about it.
I'd imagine if they could they would have done it by now
In Europe, you could easily get that, except the car or driving part.
It's easy to fudge numbers if we all disagree on terms.

Sure you are right if you included the thousands of Asian hookers being coerced by some int'l trafficking org. Sure if you include the small number of Somali gangs doing kidnaps and sales.. some of the more hardcore gangs in the inner cities that actually use all sorts of methods for the overall syndicate -

sure - those people may be technically 'pimping' (at least some) - but I do not think that those types of people come to mind when someone is casually discussing 'pimps' - I believe people are more likely to conjure up someone in their mind more like snoop dogg or 'I'm gonna get you sucka' type of character. Or like 'money mike' the pimp in the next Friday movie by Kat Willaims.

I have come to learn that a majority of those types of people don't want underage or beat-down girls and they generally frown upon, and try to reduce drug use as well.

Like I said in original comment there are those out there that are using force or other coercion (we have your passport, and have your family in regime place X - do this or else jail and loss of family) - and they should be stopped.

It gets more fuzzy when you run into people who are voluntarily sex working for things like debts to flee a place - however it's easy to lump in those numbers.

My point was not to try to throw hard numbers at X amount of sex workers are not being forced, that too depends on how certain terms are defined of course as well.

My point was that many orgs included news orgs are happy to paint all sorts of things as 'trafficking' that are nothing more than people looking for sex or people who are looking for ways to trade it - without violence, and it's not accurate to think 'pimps' or 'pimping' is:

"the distinction of a pimp is due to using violence, drugs, or other coercion on vulnerable subjects such as runaways, underage, or trafficked/kidnapped persons."

as is the comment I was replying to, and trying to shed additional light on.

I've had an eye on that part of the industry for some years now (since '95).

My first full time club gig including finding and ejecting hoes and pimps (some are quite sneaky / hard to define) - you could say we hated pimps and despised hoes (it was believed they hurt our business and took clients from our business permanently)- for the first several years of that part of my past club/djing career.

It wasn't until hbo's pimps up series came out that I started looking deeper into all that and learned that many / most are there to help each other not trying to hurt each other - it's pretty complicated.

People have different definitions in their mind on many of the terms used in describing these things, so defining the terms instead of stereo typing is better - which was my point in the first place.

edited to add Kat W / Money Mike reference.
I routinely prune /home of sensitive info, and often move secrets into a Cryptomator or Veracrypt vault. I also compartmentalize my workflow. One for NSFW stuff, another for work, another for playing games, and the list goes on...I do this because a compromise of one system does not mean a compromise of my entire system. Virtual machines are great for this alongside Chrome/Firefox profiles for different things. How you slice and dice up your own system(s) is entirely up to you.
Instead of one large transaction, l33t haxx0r can just make plenty of small ones
Looks great, hope they get parameter assignment via MIDI controls working, got a load of pi's sat here doing nothing and midi controller galore but kinda limited if you can't change params on the fly with the controller.
I wasn't saying that everything invented in the 90s is now a relic. Lots of technology from then has stood the test of time and is still useful. But VRML is not one of them! It wasn't any good even at the time.
Oh, I also made a 2D version too you can glance at the API design, it's just not super documented.

I'm not anything like a professional writer but I was going say something like your point. There's no easy advise list for serious writers. Even more, no being able to write is specific speed bump that many people experience and getting past that is a key thing. Not knowing basic style and grammar "rules" is another common experience. After that, the rules and the choice are much less clear - the style, tone, etc of your writing relates holistically to what you want to say.

But the opposite pole is that for an advanced writers, any book you consider great is a kind of advise - it's an example of the choices one writer made to create a text said something well. If you want more here, you can also read an analysis of such texts.

And with so much available once someone is at that level, there's also not a lot of reason for people write advanced advise books.
31 cases in 2.1 million doses.

I don't think your analogy fits either.

actually the numbers are even bigger than that:

>The safety committee reviewed 62 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and 24 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis reported in the European Union’s drug safety databases as of March 22. Eighteen of these cases were fatal. The cases came from the reporting systems of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, where 25 million people had received the vaccine.

and don't forget, blood clots happen without the vaccine as well...
Honestly, just using a straight up wiki (with good moderation of course) sounds way more useful than anything proprietary.
I would like to see a study done that factors in the type of exercise. "Moderate to rigorous exercise" is a very broad definition. That could be anything from pumping iron for an hour to running six miles.

Standing is a weight bearing activity which has a great effect on bone density and muscle mass. These in turn effect one's long term health. Weightlifting can do more to compensate for the loss of lean body mass due to sedentary living compared to cardio. I'd be curious to see whether weightlifting is more effective than cardio in offsetting the effects of sitting most of the work day.
Technicality people do not always express emotions the same way physically despite what may be the "consensus" on what an expression is believed to be. It can differ culturally for one, let alone neurological conditions or neurodiversity. Human vision isn't strongly reliable - just the current standard. If somebody claims they don't have HIV when their tests come back positive it is clear which one wins out.
To put it bluntly;

Your car is too big.
Hell no. Vmware.
At the risk of sounding like a pretentious asshole, over the past few years I've been reading the classics I was forced to in high school and college and hated at the time, along with many "new" ones. Now books like Moby Dick, The Brothers Karamosov, and even Pride and Prejudice are oddly just as entertaining as the works of Koonts, King, etc. This might simply be because I love fiction but hardly ever read it anymore. Or maybe the relative excitement of everything simply increases as I become more boring in my old age.
There's already precedent about this involving radiated IR, which ruled that police may not use such tools without a warrant, as it violates what people normally consider to be private information.

It's possible that different rulings will come in the future, but you have people defending drug dealers to thank for essentially ruling that this requires a warrant at present.
It is most certainly not a violation of property rights; radio waves are a notable exemption to normal property rights. Not to mention the fact that their are many other radio waves that already enter your private property.

They still would need to argue that it is not a 4th amendment violation.
I appreciate Tesla for taking the pick up truck use cases and building something from scratch. This is the first pick up truck I’ve ever thought to myself “makes sense and I want it.” The ICE trucks have needy engines and most of the time the power is unused. The air suspension seems like a natural fit and I’m surprised it’s not already common place. I would love to take the Cybertruck off-roading. I’m also excited to see these on the road. It will make my inner kid feel like we finally made it to the future.
It would be cool if military vehicles looked like this though.
Yes, let’s take an outlier and extrapolate that to a universal. There are bad people everywhere and in America there are a lot of tools to discourage and identify that behavior.
Looks cooler than the FJ Cruiser and the Wrangler!

Now if only my wife will be seen in one, we'll be able to tow a travel trailer and drive on the beach guilt-free!

(But how do we back into a super charger while towing?)
To paint the whole story, they tested it on a sample not mounted on the car before. Which went fine.
Given the sledgehammer test, at least from the side that thing will be very aggressive in a crash. As in, if it runs into you, or if you run into it you will be more injured and/or dead. You generally want a little give on the road in both directions.

Looks sweet though.

There was a video? Didn't see anything on my phone just now.
