no, investors need no additional incentive to invest. they squarely chose to take the risk, and will do so regardless of boondoggles like this, because they have no better alternative (i.e., opportunity cost impels them). it's the same fallacious argument used to keep progressive taxes at bay (oh noes, the rich people will leave america for... ???). let them fail. it's not a social problem in the slightest. the social safety net should cushion those at the bottom, certainly not those at the top, or in most cases, not even those in the middle.

certainly it means more political opposition in the form of money, but not in votes, which is the more pertinent metric.
Fair enough, I'll admit I was a bit triggered by the title. I'll delete my original comment. There is a realistic bound to the amount of requests you can serve per seconds per hardware... I'm not doubting you've done things to increase that.
Unfortunately you are also kind of stuck of you have to deal with agencies or designers on a regular basis. Affinity Photo and Designer are really good and I use those sometimes for parts of workflows when I’m stuck elsewhere, but they pretty often misinterpret files created in Adobe proper
I'm sure you're right about me misunderstanding something, but one thing I want to clarify is that while I may not be priced out of the city, I may be priced out of my home (or similar homes).

For instance, say I want to have a small patch of grass for my dog to run around, and moved to my area so that I could have that. As the value of my land grows, you're definitely right that I could sell it to a developer and then move into a more affordable apartment in a multi-tenant building. For humans, though, housing isn't fungible: the home that I grew my family in, the availability of that patch of grass for my dog, and the privacy I enjoyed were all things that cannot be replaced by more dense housing. While the cost of any home is stabilized (which is why it benefits newcomers), the cost of equivalent homes is not (which is why it works against existing residents).

To be clear, I'm not saying that it's wrong to prioritize density. I'm only trying to point out that any policy is going to benefit one group to the detriment of another group; taxation to incentivize more efficient land use is doing so at the expense of those who want to stay in the homes they've lived in.

Restrictive zoning and rent/tax controls benefit incumbent residents at the expense of newcomers, which is widely recognized. Land value taxes improve the efficiency of land use to benefit newcomers at the expense of incumbent residents.

To reiterate, I think land value tax is a good tool for what it aims to accomplish. The main point of my post, though, is that there are legitimate reasons for existing residents to oppose it (e.g. being priced out of their existing home) which most discussions on the matter tend to skip over.

No one knows. For what it's worth, we thought there were only 2 generations until well into the 20th century.
With a nuclear winter, incoming sun energy for solar would be attenuated. Crops would be contaminated and yields due to the same solar attenuation would further be degraded.

I would guess some humanity would survive, but it would be a huge dice role wether you had the basic food and energy resources available in your area, as well as the sheer luck to avoid death from environmental poisoning or missing any of a thousand civilizational inputs (like basic medicines).

A lot of people like to playact like they would survive. I think it would be horrific.
This is why Halloween is so popular with adults. Once you get past the lazy Sexy _____ costumes and into the ones that took some thought, you wind up meeting some interesting people. If you take the time to come up with your costume, you naturally start becoming that character in just the decisions of what they would/wouldn't wear because you're already thinking of the back story.
We’ve been able to build a mobile/web hybrid ride-sharing app using Yew/GraphQL. A robot Lego-like 3D builder, with Yew interop with ThreeJS. And a full 3D web game with Yew hosting a Bevy game. Everything packed with trunk.

It’s still a bit rough around the edges but the Rust benefits more than makes up for it.

This is good advice - just for clarity, when I say "play" with our old guy it's more like... the most slow motion version of play on earth. More like he jogs around the yard with his toy while I pretend I can't catch him.
I see transparency in markets and governments as a "movement" in the making. My hunch is the next 10-20 years will be very interesting in this regard.
I'm sorry to hear it. I've seen you guys posting on HN over the past year or two, particularly on topics like Everpix.

While I mourn the loss of Everpix and Trovebox, I'm baffled as to the market's failure to replace them. I'm now a very happy user of Google+ as my Everpix replacement, and Dropbox seems to be pursuing the same market with their Carousel acquisition. But G+ (and presumably Dropbox) still lacks essential features that Everpix had, like deduplication, automatic ordering by date, e-mail flashbacks, etc etc.

I never tried Trovebox, but I'm very sorry to hear that you're shutting down. Though I honestly can't see how even a giant like Dropbox can compete in this market, much less a startup. The cloud is served by economies of scale, and Amazon, Google, and Microsoft seem to be the only possible competitors in the long run.
The exception proves the rule.
From what I can tell, and I think you can see a bit in the video, when the grid fins ran out of hydraulic pressure they locked full in one direction.

The last burn this thing does is often called a 'suicide burn' as there are a couple complications to landing it. First, it only has enough fuel left for a short burn. Second, it's not possible to run the single engine they use to land it at a low enough thrust level that it can hover. i.e. 1 of 9 engines at the lowest possible thrust it can operate at is more than enough to accelerate the empty stage body upward. As a result they have to 'blip' it just before landing and cut at the exact time needed to reach 0-ish velocity at landing. This means the thing is moving _fast_ just before the video starts.

I'm guessing that with the grid fins locked in an extreme direction 24 seconds before getting to the barge they still had a lot of influence over the flight path since it was still moving fast. This pulled the top to an angle. The engine fired and the vectoring capability of the engine tried to toss it back over the ship but it just couldn't correct the lean before hitting the barge.
not everyone considers that [buying drugs] to be a positive or even entirely neutral act

Most european governments do. Germany, UK, Spain, Italy etc. include revenue from drug trade (and prostitution) in their GDP.

Most people consider a currency whose primary use case involves breaking the law to be a net negative for society.

Do you really believe any law would be broken any less if Bitcoin didn't exist? Should we also condemn BitTorrent for the same reason?

It was the first one. Except in Japan where a 20GB none-BC model was also sold.
That's a problem with a particular model, not with privatization in general (e.g. you could simply contract with a single company per city division, instead of having overlapping service, and if they're noisier or dirtier than public trucks, that's just incompetence of whoever drafted the contract).
I'm not so sure it's all about money. Ruby and Python are significantly more complex languages than Javascript. By contrast, LuaJIT can absolutely wreck V8 performance-wise, but Lua is a substantially less complex language.

v8 doesn't really do multithreading, for example, so it's able to take a lot of shortcuts that save a lot of time. v8 doesn't have built-in Bignum support, and doesn't support non-UTF-16 character encodings, so there is a lot of work that it doesn't have to do, where more full-featured languages have to make sanity checks and do conversions under the hood frequently. Ruby's metaprogramming constructs are extremely powerful, but their rulesets are fairly complex, so the VM has a lot of bookkeeping to do to ensure that everything works well. I don't know Python's internals that well, but I do know that Ruby spends a lot of time making sure that all those things play nicely together without the programmer having to exert much effort, and that does incur a performance penalty.

v8 is an absolutely excellent piece of engineering, but it's a tool that occupies a slightly different problem space than the Ruby and Python VMs do. That's not to say that Ruby and Python don't have gains they can and should make, but that it's not as simple as pouring money in one end and watching performance come out.
There is another start-up that tries to tackle the topic of Garbage Management based on data. It's really cool how they are trying to set up a system for smart garbage collection. I saw them present at Slush14 Conference last November in Helsinki.

Look into the app store made by the elementary os team. It is very similar to what you wish for.

I don't know how Visual Studio does it, but Apple did implement a feature called "fix and continue" for gdb (it was very dependend on XCode, so it could not be merged to mainline). The implementation was described like this:

"It was pointed out that I never said what F&C _is_. It's a feature for debugging your program, where you can modify your sources mid-debug-session, and the debugger will "patch" in the new code. At a very high level, the source file you're modifying is built as a shared library, gdb executes inferior function calls to load that shared library into the program, gdb finds all old versions of all
functions contained in that shared library and writes trampolines in the prologues to jump to the new versions of those functions, and gdb redirects all file-static (including global) variables in that shared library to point to the statics/globals in the original executable."

By importing names from that namespace and aliasing them. Or by creating another namespace and importing them there.

You can't seriously argue that "NSArray" as a single string is the same thing as (hypothetical) "NS.Array", where both "NS" and "Array" and the thing at "NS.Array" are semantically different things. Don't get me wrong, I love Smalltalk and Erlang - both languages suffering from the same problem - but I can recognize a shortcoming when it bites my arm off.
> A proprietary (unhackable) text editor

I developed some packages for HomeSite in the 90s. When HomeSite was integrated into Dreamweaver and development ceased, I realized that I had wasted my time developing HomeSite packages and that I should never again devote my time to extending closed-source software. Emacs has served me well ever since.
It's not just the "legacy application base" or "app developers" which are at fault; even most of Windows itself is still using the old drawing libraries. As soon as you start digging into system properties, MMC, etc, everything is horribly blurry.

But yes, apps are also broken, even very popular ones like Chrome and Steam.
Another product without any problem being solved.

V8 is in many regards better (especially memory footprint and ramp-up time) or on par.

> clear access to Java directly in your Javascript.

Who needs this when having access to 50K nom packages?
I built a device similar to this (with a raspberry pi). iOS from 7 and up no longer allows getting mac addresses... so it's much harder to tie a mac addresses to actual purchases. You'd have to do some sort of collaborative filtering over tons of visits to reliably tie purchases to a mac address.
Always say that you’re raising less than you actually want. If you want to raise $1 million, tell investors you’re raising $750,000. This tactic will come in handy when they ask you how much has already been committed. Always answer in percentages, not actual numbers.

Is this sound advice? Could someone explain the reasoning behind it?
For me the one reason I had to uninstall the app and rate it 1 star were the notifications. Most of the notifications that are actually useful you can toggle on/off (like receiving a message). However, this particular useless one is not toggleable and occurred at least once a day.

Asking me if I know somebody is not a "notification". My phone should not vibrate or make a noise because Facebook wants to friend more people. There are other annoying notifications, but this is the main one that pisses me off.
> One disagreement I have is Lisp is definitely not designed for high performance.

No one said it was. The issue you raised before was theoretical elegance vs. practical functionality. Practical functionality is much broader than "high performance".

> Second, less syntax just means messier code. Parentheses everywhere doesn't make a language good. Just harder to read.

Maybe on the parens, though I think that's more a result of expectations set by people starting in other PLs.

I've often thought that a layout-based system similar to that used in, e.g., Haskell could produce a cleaner-looking Lisp that would mitigate this popular complaint, without any substantive change to the language.

> The "macro system" which refers to the ability to perform arbitrary functions on arbitrary data, is not unique to lisp.

No, that's not what the macro system is. The macro system is the in-language facilitate to manipulate the the syntax tree of the program. Very few non-lisp languages have a similar feature, though some have techniques of approximating some of what the lisp macros can do.

Then it seems like the author completely missed that « they write the right stuff » remains a complete pipe dream throughout software development.

> Looking at the result, it indeed seems like AI is going through what software went through 2-3 decades ago.

That would be because AI is a coat of paint on software, and software has not significantly moved from where it was back then. It anything, it’s gotten worse on everything the essay covered.
I recently discover that if you remap Ctrl+C to Copy in a Linux terminal, you still get ^C when nothing is selected. It has made the experience so much better.
They explicitly allowed booting from unsigned code. They can break it with one firmware patch any time.
Come on. Those are three separate actions of which the last one is to "confirm" the deletion in a modal dialoge. Hardly the same as one command in the CLI.
Also if that would really happen, you can go into the trash folder and restore the items. AND of course that would only affect the current directory whereas `rm -rf ~` is a different story.
That's one of the big problems with adding major features later, the standard libraries don't get rewritten to fully use the new feature.
That’s true, but the uniform service folks are much more willing to take risk than they’re allowed to by the oversight process. That’s a big part of why it takes so long to develop and field new stuff. I understand why we do it, but I’m not convinced that we have the balance right.
By that definition, Uber, Pinterest and Spotify wouldn't have product market fit, as they're not profitable yet.
Aurora is one of the DB things you can launch in RDS.

I've always believed company culture comes down to 1 thing: peoples' belief about how awesome their life is going to be next month... In other words, optimism and stuff to look forward to. Whether that's fabulous wealth, fun social time with coworkers, etc-- you have to have faith that things will be awesome in the future or you start looking.

Doesn't matter how many scavenger hunts or catered lunches you have.

Of course, you can get "awesome inflation". Day 1 at Google, maybe you're blown away by the catered lunches and at-desk free pedicures. A year later, maybe not.

That's extremely unkind, if you ask me. We have a support line that puts you in direct contact with Product Support Services people who are best equipped to debug your issues, and I know that every support call generates a ticket # and gets resolved; in cases where the PSS Engineer isn't able to debug/sort out the issue themselves, they get escalated to us, on the Product Team - I've done tons of investigations myself, and we funnel the information back to the caller via the PSS, so they're not dealing with 10 different people but rather, maintain a single point of contact.

In this case, I not only exchanged email with Joel, but also with Ross Boucher of 280 North behind the scenes, and within the same day, narrowed down the bug to our JScript engine. A trouble ticket was generated the same day I learnt of the problem, and that's how we were tracking it. You could get the exact same service by calling our 1-800 support desk albeit the support folks will have to go through their script to make sure the mistake isn't human error at your end, to begin with ... sure, it'd be great if all your issues got resolved within 30 minutes of us hearing about it, but the reality is that it may sometimes take longer than that. You're spinning it absolutely the wrong way if you imply that having "insider connections" is essential to getting a bug report investigated.

Joel and I (and others internal to MS) worked hard to get a startup's problem resolved as soon as we could; I can't believe you're actually complaining about it.
They only counted the images, so they can't know - but if they just release the images you can know?

I have a large family in GA. They predominately vote republican. Most of them DO NOT LIKE Trump. He's fucked several members of my family over financially (China imports a boatload of pecans, if you weren't aware. We grow pecans).

I have two diehard republican uncles - Neither voted for Trump in this election. One because he watched his mother (my grandmother) die of covid while trump was still spouting off how small a deal it was. The other because he doesn't think his company will survive another 4 years of the China trade war.

The ground truth, and I'm on the fucking ground here, is that GA was already not inclined to favor Trump in this election.

Add record Black/Minority turnout and it's pretty clear why the state went the way it did.

Hell, I normally vote split ticket on local elections, but not this year.

Yet you come in here and spout off bullshit to try to tell me how my local state should continue to audit and audit and audit until magically the results change to what you want? Get the fuck out of here.
I also want to say that Portland, OR is one of the coolest cities I've ever been to. I went for RailsConf two years in a row... when RailsConf moved, I kept going back to Portland.

Only now I go for a week.

Pinball and micro-brew cider in every pub, seriously laid back but lots going on artistically, musically and otherwise.
KK in Malaysia is quite nice. You should be able to rent somewhere for a month quite easily and cheaply. Similar to what spitfire mentioned about Thailand, you can just go with english and a bit of money and get by without a problem.

In KK you are an hour away from hiking in the mountains, white water rafting, going to an island to snorkel/scuba by the coral reef, etc.

Taiwan is another option - you can do it very cheaply if you want or live lavishly for a reasonable price. I would recommend this option if you want to travel around more rather than stick in one place. Spend a few weeks in Taipei, a few in Kaohsiung, and a few elsewhere. Rent a scooter and explore.

If you are going now - consider it is the hot season in SE Asia and the rainy season is just about to start.

I have understood the difference between love and limerence for a while now, but never quite grasped the idea that we need to enjoy the real person instead of our own fantastical vision of who they are. My understanding of the distinction between forms of love comes from examining the four Greek words for love, where philia is compassionate love and eros is limerence, but this hadn't led to enough insight for me to see past the "angel" form and become comfortable with the real person. As a high schooler and having only experienced limerence once, I think that if I can figure out the distinction then most of my peers can too, but that's not to say that we don't still frequently fall in love with a vision or fervently believe that this love can last forever.
I'm planning to go to ko tao ($200 for an open water PADI course & accomidation) and just snorkel/dive for several weeks. It's a really good place to be. Snorkeling is one of the best kinds of exercise there is. It's not too hard, but you can do it for hours and it's really fun and you feel it when your done.

Another option is the perhentain islands, tioman island or siporna archelegpo in malaysia. Malaysia has better infrastructure compared to most of south east asia. You can get unlimited 3G internet for certain ($6.50 a week USD prepaid) with celcom on those islands. (not sure with siporna).
