> Efficiency and cheapness would go against the Whole Foods brand.

I don't know what this means. The WF experience has nothing to do with these things. The price (cheap or less-than-expensive) and efficiency (I think you mean availability?) aren't really important, other than they are successful in the same way Trader Joes is successful, in fewer locations.
You...kind of did? I mean, I get that the people you're talking about call themselves Christian, but they no more merit taking at their word on the matter than if I say I'm vegan while halfway through a porterhouse.

You know Mark and Deuteronomy. Do you know Matthew? "You shall know them by their fruits." And: "[T]hen will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Christ himself would not call these men Christian. Why should you or I take them at their word when they call themselves so?

Could someone explain this simply?
Typically the forks include many performance tweaks over vanilla and so generally perform better. Here is an old test showing 5.5 differences in performance: http://vbtechsupport.com/657/2/

Percona's fork is also much closer to vanilla (than MariaDB), so there shouldn't be any issues even for existing databases. Unless maybe if the system/cluster set up is very complex so there is additional cost for migration. For new projects though, I can't think of any reason to use vanilla over one of the forks.
Then you'd think you'd know that Bologna is a US variant of Mortadella that omits the cubes of pork fat.

It's named after your home city, and inspired by Mortadella, but it's not the same thing.

Just try it. I have tried it. It works. It blocks the action of adrenaline so you essentially can't have a fight or flight response. This is especially important because there is a very negative feedback loop that goes from physical to mental over and over (get sweaty -> notice how sweaty you are -> pulse increases -> notice increased pulse -> wonder if everyone else can tell too -> get sweatier, etc.) that can end with a panic attack.

At least for me, I have the fight or flight response because of essentially prior trauma (minor when compared to trauma from war but still technically sub-clinical PTSD) and so "you shouldn't take drugs forever" isn't a strong counter-argument because you just need to take them until you have enough positive experiences for your dumb pattern-recognizing brainstem to chill out. Thank goodness for the gift of forgetting.

One more thing. We are pre-launch. If we had already launched then I think startup school would have been much more helpful than it was, because the checking in every week with revenue numbers would have created a lot more urgency. A lot of the advice is more tailored to what to do once you are already launched rather than what to do pre-launch. If you are a company like us and have to go through a bunch of regulatory hoops to get off the ground, you will probably benefit more if you do startup school once you have already launched.

React-lorem: a react.js component that renders lorem-ipsum text
Thank you. i built it because I believed things can be much simpler.

The inspiration was from real life cells. It's amazing how small autonomous cells bind and interact with one another to form a complex organism.

Cells have genotypes which manifest themselves into phenotypes. And a nucleus that self-controls the cell cycle.

I thought by creating a completely autonomous structure that mimics how cells work it will be possible to create complexity from simplicity.

i hear a lot of people saying this will never scale because it doesn't look like react or angular, but I think the point is not about what's missing, but what you can do with these by combining these self aware elements. I believe this approach is much more scalable because it builds on top of simplicity.

Again, thanks for the comment!

I had not yet read it. Having just fixed it, it is missing the role of a basis. And without it, you'll have trouble figuring out coordinate systems, changing your basis, and so on. Which gives you no way to keep straight such confusing things as the fact that if your coordinate system rotates one way, your representation of things rotates the other. (Try it! Stand up, turn clockwise and see the world spin counter-clockwise!)

Let me offer an abstract example. Consider the polynomials of degree at most 2. There is an obvious basis, namely 1, x, and x^2. A polynomial like x^5 - 3x + 2 can now easily be written in coordinates as (2, -3, 1).

However we have many other coordinate systems that might be convenient. For example suppose that we're sampling data, and can measure p(0), p(1) and p(2). How do we find what polynomial that is? Here is an easy way. We can easily find the new coordinates for our basis vectors: 1 -> (1, 1, 1), x -> (0, 1, 2), x^2 -> (0, 1, 4). That means that we can write down the matrix representing the identity transform (nothing happened), going from the basis we have, to the new coordinate system:

( 1 1 1)
( 1 2 3)
( 1 2 4)

That's the change of basis matrix one way. Invert it.

( 2 -1 0)
(-3 2 -1)
( 1 -2 1)

And now we can go the other way. The polynomial that we want from our sample data will be (2-3x+x^2)p(0) + (-1+2x-2x^2)p(1) + (-x+x^2)p(2).

There are a lot of problems where linear algebra comes up that you can think through more clearly if you think about things this way (complete with the role of the basis!) than if it isn't fully digested.

As for a better book, well, I already recommended Down With Determinants! :-)
Square Cash is the most prominent example I know of for an email-based passwordless login system, and I personally really like it.

> then log in using that non-password every single time I want to log in?

The key piece of UX in these systems is you don't make the user do this every time, but rather only when logging in on new devices, and after a reasonable expiration date, say 30 days.

For the average HN user, this might not be much of an improvement in terms of security or UX compared to a regular password system when used with a good password manager. The average internet user is and always will be much less sophisticated, however, and is someone who can manage to regularly forget even their really crappy passwords (if they use more than 1 password to begin with).

For the average user, I think this system improves both UX and security by a large degree because for UX, it removes the need to remember more than 1 password (the password to your email serves as your master password), and for security, it verifies identity using the ability to access an email and a device (browser) rather than the mere knowledge of an email and a password.
It seems to me that if the smell of chocolate is part of the desired experience, you design and render that smell. Random link on artificial smells: https://foodbabe.com/2015/02/16/the-behind-the-scenes-market...

What kind of chocolate smell do we want? How sweet? How much vanilla note? How much burnt component? How concentrated or diffused in space? We probably don't want the smell to change over time, just like you probably don't want the colors in a painting to change over time.

To me, making the artifact out of chocolate is a bad way of creating a chocolate smell. The exposed surface area will offgas and oxidize, resulting in a diminishing and changing smell. It seems lazy; it also seems like "confusing the map with the territory".
Nice catch. Plagiarizing for upvotes is rather sad.

Looks like a "preprocessor" on steroids. Imagine the C preprocessor, but instead of simple macros and constants you can define expressions that will be expanded to much more complex things. This example they give is pretty good at conveying the idea: you can define "goto" to emit the intermediate LLVM opcodes to jump to a label, then use it immediately after. This is great for defining your own DSL.
it's three things:

* a syntax, including literals

* first class support for llvm IR and primitives

* a macro system allowing you to create new ir-level primitives with aforementioned syntax.

It seems like a lisp without homoiconicity and a complex syntax (compared to sexps). Think: greenfield compiler development, or maybe a DSP DSL.

Interesting! Cavium's network processors running bare-metal have features to ensure no core is ever idle. Maybe at the expense of latency. The idea probably doesn't translate to running a bunch of virtual servers. You probably do better with a shared-memory abstraction than a network. Or, disappointing numbers may just reflect the fact that individual cores are slow. Bad news either way.

I don't know. This looks like it's mixing View (or Template) and Controller. How well does that work for nested "cells" with data changing on the parent and child? And does this make it difficult to separate logic and design concerns?
Because the artist invited the public to lick the chocolate-covered walls of her sculpture, it's safe to assume she wanted it to change over time, and it seems evident that real chocolate was required. For words to that effect, see her quote in the link I offered above, or her statement at: http://visarts.ucsd.edu/faculty/anya-gallaccio

This really reminds me of the debate over who does art belong to once it's released out into the world?

On the one hand, it makes complete sense that the creator of the artwork should have the final say in how it is interacted with by viewers, and whether or not it should be preserved.

But on the other hand, when George Lucas says I'm not allowed to purchase the original non-digitally-enhanced version of the first Star Wars movie so dear to my childhood memories it really pisses me off!
OK, so the vast majority of people are "either stupid or lazy or both." What a cheery worldview. How would we have anything resembling today's businesses if everyone over the age of 30 were running a business?

You didn't use the word, but I think it's a real stretch to argue that that wasn't your meaning.

Can we compromise on "heretical corruption of Christianity"? I should think that'd be imprecatory enough for just about anyone - it certainly has more and sharper teeth than inaccurate and mere milquetoast 'theology'! - and it has the added virtue of not perpetuating a condition in which one such as myself finds it every bit as difficult and trepidatory to come out as Christian as, in an earlier time, he did to come out as gay. Perhaps that's not something with which you feel any need to concern yourself, even to this quite literally nominal degree; I can't say that isn't fair enough, but I would esteem it a kindness if you did.

Hmm, I have never seen any typing latency with VS Code, but I use fast computers and few plugins. It is indeed slow during initial loading, and unusable with large files.

My comment wasn't intended to advocate for inefficient software based on web browser cores; I was just trying to note that most of Atom's abysmal performance issues seem to be more Atom's fault than Electron's, since VSCode is so much better.

Sublime, and any competently-designed native text editor, will always be faster than one based on Electron. Still, I leave both editors (and a few others) open throughout my workday.

Not terribly surprised, it's been well known that Assange leaks what he wants, and doesn't care much after the leak. A lot of information, like the email "dumps" didn't have valid DKIM headers for one. A lot of their stuff is questionable at best now.
Maybe they don't want to fix what's not broken. If their usage continues going up at acceptable rates year after year, then maybe they have all the features they need right now. I have witnessed more than a few properties decline after site owners complicated the UI with stupid features barely anyone was asking for just for the sake of working on new stuff.
Lots of reasons why I still use it:

- MySQL/MariaDB are much better tested for almost every OSS web app and framework I use. It may be the only database that is official and thoroughly supported. If I want to interoperate on the same DB across many applications, MySQL/MariaDB is the lingua franca.

- It's fast enough. The vast majority of applications never need to scale beyond a few hundred requests per second. Any database on nearly any hardware with sufficient memory will do this.

- Aurora. Scale up automagically (not infinitely, but pretty easily) when you do find yourself with an app that needs to scale a lot and fast.

- It's fine. Sure, PostgreSQL does a number of things better (though I'd wager some of the reasons MySQL is getting slower for some workloads is because it is now doing some of the things PostgreSQL has done for a while, and they require more resources; features have a cost). If I were weighing out the pros and cons in isolation, I'd pick PostgreSQL. But, I'm not. I'm building things on top of other things, and those other things were built with MySQL. when MySQL was faster than PostgreSQL I didn't choose it because of its speed (I used to use PostgreSQL for my company website, but migrated to MySQL about ten years ago).

MySQL/MariaDB may not be better, but they're good enough. MySQL and PostgreSQL have converged in terms of features and performance to be reasonable substitutes for each other.
Could be wrong, but I'd assume some of it is related to scale of features. For example, when they started hosting images - they started at pretty extreme scale, so that would likely slow down feature delivery.

Having said that, not all features would be _that_ intensive on systems.
