Because I think it's shameful not to be financially self-sufficient. it's an important part of adulthood. To me regular financial help from your parents is something a child or teenager receives - it's an allowance.

I'd like to think that if the generation before me had some money knocking about, that I'd have the same attitude. Let them spend their hard earned money on a cruise or a holiday, rather than supporting their grown children who are already well into adulthood themselves.
It would be even more astounding if the new Chinese traffic was genuine.

As someone who also first installed Debian in 98 from a single floppy disk netboot image, a memorized FTP site domain, a cable modem connection and a whole night of hoping, I wholeheartedly agree, Dwarf Fortress is way, way harder.

Every year I pick it up and play it for a bit just show myself that I can do it.

These days, I watch streams of people playing the game on Youtube or I play Rimworld if I'm in the mood for actually playing something myself.

I've never been able to have the patience to get to one of the really interesting kinds of fortresses that have steam-powered defenses that tunnel hordes of enemies strategically through your base only have them burned to death.

Also, the game is single threaded so there's a very linear limit of how many dwarves and interesting emergent things can happen in your fortress.

God, I miss playing that game. When it's good, it's the best there.

I've wanted to learn Rust for the express purpose of making a faster, multi-threaded DF-like game.
My apologies. I thought you were being facetious. Loads of posters on HN are when if it doesn't conform to their own world view.
lostcolony I think you are over stating how hard to is to run ops on your own server. The separation between engineering and ops has gotten a little out of control. Engineers should know how to do basic ops. So the cost savings you say you are getting by letting your engineers focus ONLY on the product and not worry about those pesky little details called ram and cpu you really shoot yourself in the foot. It's like putting blindfolds on your engineers and saying code away as if the world will always be this dark. The skills your engineers learn in deploying their own code to 1 digital ocean box is priceless. Well it's $5 a month to digital ocean. But it's not just the savings in bills to lamba, it's the knowledge in engineering craft they learn that is priceless. Because the world runs on servers. The world does not run on magical things that are not servers.

A potential solution: Non-fast-forward merge commits. Best of both worlds: Small diffs and large diffs. (I'll also note that I haven't found this to be a problem in practice.)

> and can slow things down if all the pieces have to be pushed separately through a slow CI pipeline.

And can speed things up if the CI pipeline can pinpoint the exact change that broke the build. Fat commits just obscure the underlying problem - although sometimes that's the best you can hope for.

In everything I've worked on where we cared about the version it has been baked into the binary in an about dialog or info page somewhere, so they only way to not be able to tell which version you were using was if you didn't have access to the app.

This of course relies on having the automated builds set the version numbers properly, it breaks down if it's a manual step, which I'm all too familiar with.

The world hasn't changed that much. The wealthy are wealthy. The famous are famous. The powerful are powerful. The happy are happy. Like the OP, I'm neither wealthy nor famous nor powerful. I'm not quite in my 50's, but pretty close. I live in a tiny rented flat in the countryside. I own exactly 2 pairs of trousers (much to the dismay of my wife). And I'm happy. SO much happier than my 20's that it defies description.

Yeah, I have friends who are millionaires. I have friends who are famous. (I don't have friends who are powerful... never ran in those circles...). All of my rich friends either inherited their money or won the DotCom lottery. All of my famous friends worked their butts of in obscurity for decades and then won the Celebrity lottery.

None of them are happier than me as far as I can tell. (And, yes, I can afford another pair of trousers, but who needs 3 pairs of trousers!?).

MIT Lecture: Gödel Escher Bach; an Eternal Golden Braid
Potentially, there was an index which the author knew would yield good performance for a particular query, but the query planner over-estimated the number of rows, and so decided that a sequential scan would be a better choice. By executing the command, "SET enable_seqscan = OFF;" inside a session, you can force postgres to use an index if it possibly can.

These sort of problems can occur (for example) when very complicated joins are performed, or when unstructured data is being used as part of a join, as these tend to lead to poor estimates of the number of rows that the different parts of the query will yeild.

I give most of my ideas away, since I've ruled them out as not being optimal uses of my own time.

I've done the teeth pulling NDA and noncompetes with a lot of people, just so they would tell me their original idea that I'm contractually bound not to copy for a limited time in a limited geographic area or tell anyone about. And I realized how unoriginal all of them are. If they weren't so concerned about people copying their idea they would have gotten feedback on it a lot sooner for the simple answer of "Hey, Spotify does this already, did you check the menu options?" running completely counter to their market research and conclusion that "nobody" is doing this and its "huge".

I think quite a few of the ideas behind Smalltalk were too radical for its time. Looking at the intellectual legacy of Smalltalk there is no denying it has been profoundly influential. It's not so much about C++ / Java vs Smalltalk but rather OOP vs Procedural Programming. There's a question about whether Java is OOP done right, but I think it's fair to say that it's done well enough to reap the majority of the benefits of OOP.

Different example, doing a simple 'group by' sparksql query on only about 20 million rows on a distributed phoenix/hbase table couldn't even be completed because of spark dumbly shuffling all the data around the cluster. Spark/phoenix RDD drivers apparently had no 'group by' push down support for phoenix so shuffled all the data amazingly inefficiently. Running the same query directly on phoenix took all of about a minute to finish.

My point is, these 'on a laptop/single machine memory' examples don't really give me an indicator of scenarios where I might actually want to use spark/etc.

Ask HN: Annotation tool for video
What is commonly used tool for 'fast' annotation of video frames with bounding boxes ( e.g. Face detection)?
Lots of factors here. I find it more a matter of project style/age than language.

Adding whole new chunks of code, refactoring the public interface of widely used systems, etc. tend to result in large diffs - lots of 'churn'. Extending existing code, bugfixes, more localized refactoring and doc fixes - more 'stable' codebases - tend to result in smaller diffs.

Also some difference between e.g. git and perforce - branching is easier, so I can make smaller commits without worrying about breaking the dev branch...

casks did not enhance the sensory quality of the final product, nor did miniature casks provide a suitable model of an accelerated Scotch whisky maturation process."
Are you talking about compilers, or just ("dumb") interpreters? To me, the hardest part of writing a compiler is the middle part that you totally neglected to mention: the static analysis & optimization. Not the parsing or the codegen.

"50 micron thick polymethylpentene mixed with tiny glass beads"

As an achievement in science this is cool, but... we should be reducing energy consumption while also not polluting the surface of the planet. Where's this stuff going to end up when houses covered with it are torn down in 30-100 years?
Very true. An extreme example: as someone who knows someone who is part of the aristocracy, it is mind blowing how some of these families have held onto wealth generated from massive plots of land they acquired in the 12th century (or earlier).

BUT: there has never been an easier time in history for someone to make money on their own.
> Just because you inherit some capital doesn't mean you are actually able to use it to make more. Actually, most people can't, meaning the only thing they can do is spend it

It really depends on how much you inherit. If you inherit a million dollars, yeah, it's easy to spend it all. If you inherit a billion, it's not hard to sit on that money and live off a fraction of the earnings. Which is why major familial wealth tends to stick around for generations. (That and the connections that major wealth can provide.)

There's no satisfying anybody about this: not the readers who want more politics, not the readers who want less, and certainly not the partisans on an issue.

There's a lot more politics on HN right now than there usually is, which is appropriate since it reflects what's going on right now.

When there's a deluge of political stories, as in the last couple days, users heavily flag most of them. But there have still been plenty of major threads spending plenty of time on the front page. That's the status quo for HN: most politics are off topic, but not all. It's a delicate balance and an important one. Letting politics overrun this site would kill it.

Our approach is being influenced by Om.Next, though I personally don't have a great deal of knowledge of it.

I'm a fan of Elm, and it and Om.Next share some significant concepts I believe, so that's been guiding a lot of my thinking with regards to this stuff.
It's hardly imaginary, you silly silly person.
Yep. Competent aristocratic families seem to mostly maintain existing wealth. You don't need to earn when you have wealth to support your family for generations hence. You just need to not be incompetent.

Edit: I fully agree that it's easier than ever to build wealth from limited means.
Personally, I'd suggest selling everything you own, throwing a dart at a map, going there, and proceeding to see where adventure takes you. When you run out of money, find something productive to do and start earning some more money.

$20k won't get you very far in financial terms, but it can buy a hell of a lot of life experience from the position you're in. The cost of long term travel will rise rapidly as your life continues; right now that $20k will probably buy you a year, but in another decade, a year of travel will be about as feasible as a trip to the moon.
Thanks a lot for that extended meditation! I love learning about the history of things, even when it isn't directly useful to my immediate problem.

There are dozens of styles of Belgian ale, and differences between them are obvious. There isn't much difference in price. It ranges from https://www.uvinum.co.uk/beer/leffe-brune (£1.22/33cl) to https://www.uvinum.co.uk/beer/westvleteren-12 (£10.76/33cl), the reason for the high cost of Westvlereten being low volume production. https://www.uvinum.co.uk/beer/st-bernardus-abt-12 is very similar and sells for only £1.84/33cl.

Exactly. The total cost is probably over 8% (pretax), which is more than those sketchy check-cashing places charge. It might be worth it if the adoption rate is high enough, but does anyone have personal anecdotes or (better) independent statistics on Patreon adoption and income?
Couchbase appears to require failover as it has authoritative servers (three, it looks like?). CockroachDB should scale linearly with cluster size, meaning failover isn't a thing--it just struggles until you give it more CPU/disk/mem/what have you.

If your interested in text editors then it's worth watching some youtube videos on kakoune. There are some great ideas in there that even the old dogs could learn from. Actually, a lot of us could learn from it when it comes to things like feature discovery, it's a really good example of complex yet easy to use software.

The reason I haven't switched is because I prefer vims command->motion over kakounes motion-command, which doesn't quite sit well with me and because I don't like the scripting choices they made.
Do you have any income?

If I was in your shoes I'd probably buy myself 1 nice thing (a small vacation or a new piece of furniture/electronics or something) and I'd split the rest between investing and having an emergency fund for when life throws you a curve ball (home/car repairs, losing job, illness, bail money, etc)
I was not taking a woman on a date to a place where women are objectified, and I didn't say that I was. She and her friends (women) decided to go to a strip club, and invited me at the last second.

How could you POSSIBLY have interpreted what I said as that it was my idea to go there, let alone that it was a date? You've also assumed it was a strip club of only females.

Regardless, I'd be open to the possibility that you should mind your own damn business. Nobody involved cares for you to judge them for their job or the way they express their sexuality.
