I find it a bit odd that both you and the parent commenter (acemarke) seemed to have interpreted the post in a completely different tone than I did.

I didn't find anything in the original blog post in the tone of a "complaint". If anything, they were merely pointing out what kind of things they run into and their thoughts, while transitioning from an ASP.NET background.

It's actually a really helpful read if you also happen to come from ASP.NET and are looking to pick up the Node/React stack. I personally also came from a different stack only recently (not ASP.NET) and dove into Node/React a few months ago, and found the way he expressed his views helpful for myself to align my thoughts.
I remember seeing one around 1975 (I was in Kindergarten). Not missing this one!
>"I think this is the key to the confusion: seeing the shareholders as the true "owners" (and therefore controllers) of a corporation is, more and more, associated with socialist undertones: people recognize in phrases like "the shareholders are more important than the CEO" the sentiments of people who call for labor unions and co-ops, which want to assert not only employee shareholdership, but also shareholder primacy."

No, there is no "confusion", share holders are in fact the owners of a publicly-traded company[1]. There is no need for quoting the word owners either.

The phrase "the shareholders are more important than the CEO" was not used by either myself or the OP. The discussion was also not about organized labor. Why you have chosen to invent a quote and introduce the topic of organized labor is just bizarre.

There is nothing at all socialist about equities as an asset class.

Fructose has the particularity among sugars that its uptake in the gut is not regulated, and can be easily metabolized. This means you can load your body with fructose, with both the benefits and nefarious consequences that implies.
You can add more conditions and Postgres will use the index to first find the rows that match the partial index condition and then use the additional condition to postfilter the rows.
Safari is not an evergreen browser and that's a fair criticism.

However, you can run the latest browser and OS (and most people do) on a 5 year old device, which is about as much as the battery will last anyway. The situation is much worse on Android.
I agree. The thing everyone wants to know is (stuff like), how did it get to the point that HR employees believed:

1) They should lie about "oh it was this guys first offense".

2) A bad performance review for reporting someone's sexual advances "isn't retaliation because we said you could transfer".

3) It's better to just buy jackets for the men than to buy no jackets or to pay more for the women's.

I mean, you can kind of loosely guess at it from the recommendations, but nothing direct.
One other thing I noticed is that every time there is a post about her here, everyone calls her Marissa, or Marissa Mayer, or Ms. Mayer (seriously!)... never Mayer. I might be "attributing to malice" but dudes never get called "first name", only "last name".

It might just be the way it is in the US, but I can't help read it as a way to depower someone. I dunno if "depower" is the right term, but it feels something like that.

Again, that might just be a cultural thing that I'm not aware of.

The distinction is academic since Bitcoins are not legal tender anywhere.
There's no incentive for a private party to sue them because the losses are so small that even a class action isn't worth pursuing. Any legal action would have to be government-initiated. That's unlikely in the US due to the current political climate, and EU action would do nothing for us across the pond, and vice versa.

One advantage of plain text formats that I haven't seen mentioned is that they're easily and meaningfully diff-able.

You can run two versions of a markdown file or a LaTeX source file through a diff, and see what's been changed. Try that with a PDF or Word file or what have you.

As I like to keep my files in version control, I use plain text formats as much as possible.
Yes, we have. The problem a lot of our keys and values are numeric. GIN/GiST only support equality for JSON fields. Additionally the GIN/GiST index winds up being significantly larger and is a bit slower than partial indexes.
Depends on your point of view. In terms of amount of applications, no. Loads of people apply, but in terms of finding the right person, yes I think it's very hard. It takes a huge amount of time, and all the generic/automatic applications certainly don't speed up the process.

"It's a shame they didn't finish their kernel, but at least they got yes working at 10GiB/s."

which as an OS guy, someone who has been working on Unix for 30+ years, as a guy who was friends with one the QNX kernel guys (they had perhaps the only widely used microkernel that actually delivered), that's hugely amusing and spot on. The GNU guys never really stepped up to being kernel people. Bitch at me all you want, they didn't get there. It's a funny comment, especially coming from reddit.

> Here's the ethereum proof of stake code that will go live on ethereum sometime this year

Until it goes live, it's vaporware. The issue isn't "can proof of stake code be written" the question is "will eth continue to function safely and correctly using a proof of stake system"? We'll talk when it hits production.

> The UN uses an ethereum app to send aid to Syrian refugees via vouchers:

The details are not really clear from the article. How does this work? Why was this possible with eth but not with bitcoin or dogecoin or any other cryptotoken? How do displaced Syrian refugees accept, manage, and spend digital currency? I am highly skeptical of this without lots of details.
One of the nice advantages of partial indexes is that Postgres will automatically fallback to the next best possible plan. If we created separate tables for each event, either we would have to handle the logic for falling back ourselves, or the data would be momentarily non queryable.

I have come up with a schema/set of indexes that we think would allow us to have a fixed set of indexes. The downside is we would have to do a lot of the work Postgres is currently doing ourselves.
I can't understand why msbob-like interfaces failed. The idea is simple and natural: you don't have hierarchical folders with names, you have visually recognizable places. Even very non-technical users can understand this idiom when you just put papers somewhere to get back to it later. People are very good at locations, very bad at names. One of the best remembering techniques is based on locations.

That's actually how I organize my physical desktop: there is a stake of blanks ("new text file..." menu item), operative drawings in the center, non-operative at the far right, and lot of drawers in my table, each with its own geometry, cabinet, shelves, working/entertainment rooms or areas. If I start to collect something new, like DVD discs or project documents, I simply "create" new shelf for archiving or empty old space by moving it to less useful location.

Given that it is electronic representation, you may even put document into additional location, like dragging it via alt key, so semi-transparent version of it is created. You can take documents to your hands, go to places, drop some here and some there, instead of that cut-paste and "clipboard" idiom. Why would one really move folders via cutting them to the clipboard? Did you ever see what it looks like?

Even if hierachical folder/file systems could be good, today these are shit. You can edit file, but you can't edit folder. Attach photo or text preview on file/folder via paperclip? Make it bigger, so that it stands out in other icons? Create in-folder heading like github's README.md? Colorize them quickly? Nope. Even when possible it is a real pain. All files and folders look the same (or random) and if it is not jpeg, you're on your own to search it by low-perceptible metadata like ctime or name/type.

Ask HN: What stops the USPS from offering everyone an email address?
I have been thinking about this for a while now. Why doesn't the US Postal Service (or Royal Mail, etc.) offer everyone an email address? While they are at it, why not offer digital storage as well, so people can store their photos, files, etc., knowing that the USPS will be around a lot longer than their private competitors. Would less tech savvy people who already use the USPS for mail boxes and other services be more willing to trust it than a tech giant they are less familiar with?

If said USPS email address is linked with physical addresses (updated regularly), then couldn't the email address also being used for address verification purposes when fulfilling online orders? I know how painful address verification can be, and I would have loved to have had a service like that. Ideally all a customer needs to provide an online store is just their USPS email address, then the site can obtain the shipping address from USPS.

Edit: added last sentence.

Edit 2: Perhaps the question should have been: what are the pros and cons of the USPS offering: an email service, a digital storage, etc. Would it improve their finances if they charged for them? Would people pay for them given that there are plenty of free services out there?

My mouse cursor is in a different place every time I reach for it. My keyboard is always in the same place. Sure, if I'm using a cursor with my keyboard, I'll have the same problem, but at least the cursor tends to be in the exact same spot I was already focusing my attention, ie where I was just typing.

If I'm executing an action with my mouse, the path between my cursor's current location and where I need to click is almost always different. I have to move my attention to the cursor, and I can't just rely on muscle memory to do the command.

If I'm executing an action with a hotkey, the path between the home row and the keys I need to hit are always the same. If it's something I do frequently, it's in my muscle memory, and I don't have to shift my attention away from the task at hand.

I don't care much about the speed at which I can accomplish a single action (as long as it's not unbearably slow), but I do care about having to shift my attention away from what I'm doing. If I'm doing something that requires a lot of typing (eg, programming), I'll try to do as much as possible with the keyboard. If I'm in a novel environment and have to rely on visual cues (eg, surfing the web), I'll do most things with the mouse.

A single multi-column index would only work for the one specific query in the example. We have many queries that contain filters that are not easy to index such as regular expression filters. Additionally, a multi-column index would be significantly larger than the corresponding partial index.

Converting all the claims to a single currency is the only logical approach. Keeping the claims separated leads to a bunch of difficult questions:

- Should the BTC creditors only get money from the remaining BTC pool?

- Assets (servers, offices etc) will be sold for Yen, should this money only be used to pay the Yen creditors?

- Expenses are being used from the Yen pool at the moment. Does this mean Yen creditors would get less money?

And let's not kid ourself: No one thinks about the value of Bitcoin in terms of "amount of BTC". Everyone converts it to dollars using the current exchange rate. It's not like there's a society where "50 BTC = big house", and now that you'll only get back 10 BTC (or whatever the ratio is) you can't buy that house anymore.

You could argue about at what rate/date you should convert the BTC claims to Yen, but the only reason people complain now is that the price happens to be higher. I personally think it would be more fair to lock the price to the exchange rate when MtGox stopped trading.

Yeah, I think they are cited in the patent we did. The key differences were a) no non-volatile storage at all, and b) we took 16 memory 'blades' (1GBit each) and combined them into a single 10gbit backed 'controller'. It leveraged a lot of ideas from the disk shelves at the time. It did give you 1GB/s read/write fully raid protected memory (with equivalent FEC bits in the packets to catch network corruption) to the network.

I expect TMS would have gotten there eventually once they moved on from 'storage' on the network/fabric to 'memory' on the network/fabric.
Googling 'Lustig criticism' gives you a good place to start.

Absolutely agree, and Ethereum is a great platform for building those stable currencies. Check out Stabl and Maker for two orgs trying to make this happen.

While our data is ordered, a BRIN index doesn't support our use case. We need to perform non-zero amount of deletions/updates to existing data. This leaves holes in our table which will be filled in by new data, which makes a BRIN index unusable since the data is no longer ordered.
