Actually what you're describing is just the fact that the word "capitalism" is used to mean markedly different things by different groups of people, which makes it a bad word to use in discussions between people with different perspectives.

Karl Marx's definition of "capitalism" is very different from Ayn Rand's definition of "capitalism". And both of them are very different from the "capitalism" that describes the economy as it actually exists in the present day.

Hmmm.. Interesting. On the last point I disagree unless you are launching php process per request then you'll have to set mod_php or php_fpm recycling ridiculous high to cope with 100 customers and their shitty PHP code (or the shitty PHP code from the top 10 one-click solutions installed) leaking memory everywhere. On the isolation side the industry answer to this is nasty prop solutions like CloudLinux and other custom solutions where each customer essentially has a request pool (e.g 5 php-fpm waiting around under the uid of the user) - counter to most shitty PHP web hosting providers goal of density, 'lets keep this server lightly loaded for the highend packages - just put 5,000 account on it okay'. Typical PHP hosting is not pretty, they're about 10 years behind the times, cough cpanel.

The move away from rote can have an unexpected draw back. Fast mental estimation requires rote learning , otherwise you draw a blank. over-reliance on tooling like calculators have made mental skills like that decrease over the years.
The structure seems to be relying on bolts, plastic sheeting and foam for all of its strength. Even bolts are not usually considered structural elements, since the sheer strength of bolts is negligible - much less plastic or foam.

The whole idea of geodesic domes is that the trianglular sides distribute load more efficiently. In this case, there's nothing that could be described as load bearing. It's a semi-rigid tent that will disintegrate in a strong breeze.

This violates the HN guideline which asks you to refrain from insinuations about astroturfing or shillage: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

On the internet, people are far too quick do this because they can't imagine that views which seem (to them) so wrong and dumb could possibly be coming from others in good faith. But the truth is that the opinion diversity of the community wildly exceeds intuitive estimates. The null hypothesis, therefore, when it feels like astroturfing simply must be going on, is that you're underestimating the good faith of others. It's super tempting to reach for the stick (PR! astroturf! shill! how much are they paying you!) but we know from experience that this degrades discussion quickly, and therefore the temptation needs resisting—hence that guideline. Real astroturfing exists, of course, but it's a quite different species than this common astroturfy warbler. If you're worried about it, we can investigate, but you need to email us rather than post comments about it.

In this case Occam is even more active than usual because there's a particularly obvious explanation for what you're seeing: the tendency of the community to respond with objections to whatever gets posted. If the article were slanted the opposite way, so would the comments be, not because different 'astroturfers' would show up but because the people most motivated to comment are the ones who see something to pick holes in. Then others show up to pick holes in the way the first round of holes was picked—invariably leading with "I can't believe this community is so X", not realizing that they're motivated by just the same thing as their predecessors. This dynamic is a problem in its own right but for different reasons.

Btw your assessment of HN as 'right wing' has the same cognitive bias—underestimating the diversity of the community—embedded in it. It's clear (painfully clear, at least to me!) that the opposite wing sees HN just the opposite way and has just as ready a supply of examples to point to. An anarcho-anti-capitalist story has spent the last several hours on the front page, etc.
Arbitrarily resizing the iOS6 podcast app would be a challenge. Indeed many applications would be quite easy to adapt, but on iOS6 and prior some of the applications used quite unscalable elements. For example the notes app with a lined notebook would be a pain to adapt if you could arbitrarily scale fonts (which you can since iOS7 or 8).

The difference is also (I think) the average size of teams which made the apps. iOS has started the boon of one developer per app. Before it was of course done, but the scale is not comparable.
Finally someone other than random bloggers dared saying it clear.

This has not been my experience of multi-master asynchronous replication in MySQL at work. We use only one replica for actual work and the second master is read-only until failover - and is only write enabled after the primary is disabled - and it works quite well.

Getting replication bootstrapped synergises well with having a smooth backup restore procedure, similarly any hiccups in replication can be dealt with using restore.

We have other release QA procedures that use restored backups for testing, so our restore procedure is extremely well exercised. Really fast restores using the Percona tools is a considerable bonus of the MySQL world.

Ink spread and feathering on cheap paper is unfortunate and frustrating. I would also add pretty much any pigment or iron gall-based ink to your suggestion. Unlike dye-based inks, i.e. the vast majority of your vibrant colors on the market, these contain tiny particles that are (with a little bit of oversimplification) permanently trapped in the cellulose fibers of paper as you write. The end results is that these inks are waterproof and don't show the dreaded feathering/bleeding on cheaper paper. I recommend the Rohrer and Klingner Salix and Scabiosa, two inexpensive iron gall inks (blue-black and purple-gray), Sailor Kiwa Guro and Sei Boku (pigmented black and blue) and the Platinum pigmented inks (available in blue, red and black IIRC). The Salix and Sei Boku have worked wonderfully for me on copier paper with no clogging/cleaning issues so far.
Important Data Structures for  Programming Interviews
That's actually not true... I ended up sitting next to a tech lobbyist on a 5 hour flight and we chatted about tech and politics for most of the flight. Google's lobbying strategy is to come in and dump a bunch of money to fix an immediate problem. They don't keep up the pressure - aka they aren't getting people use to the steady flow of "lobbying", it is all reactionary.

This just encourages folks on the receiving side to come up with situations for google to panic over then reap the predictable "lobbying".

Other companies across industries approach things differently- they get their targets hooked on a steady stream of "lobbying" and use the withdrawal of that as leverage.

Microsoft is actually quiet good at lobbying and has been successful on many fronts to keep their products and services the dominant solution for US government systems.

> Do Chromebooks actively block you from installing another browser?

I don't have one. If it's sufficiently harder, like it was in the Microsoft IE antitrust case, there may be an argument there. IANAL but I think an antitrust lawsuit would have to show they have majority marketshare too.

> Or would Google have to provide a "supported" way to install other browsers?

I don't how ChromeOS works. Is Chrome the OS? If so they might have more of an argument than, say, Microsoft, since Windows existed before IE and it was clear IE was not integral to the base system.

Still, now we have pretty easy to install flavors of Linux, which is another difference between now and 2001 when Microsoft settled their case.
Data integrity is of course important, and MySQL indeed has a weak story here, especially in older versions.

Is PostgreSQL flawless when it comes to data integrity? No, that would also be false advertising. Some examples:

- data checksums are disabled by default (silent data corruptions!), and the user manual specifically warns they are not cheap. And the reasons they are expensive is that PostgreSQL does not support O_DIRECT IO;

- removing a file on the filesystem may lead to a silent loss of data in PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/c571dfc5-91b0-0df2-4e3...

- some important control structures (which also impact data visibility and thus, integrity) are not even protected by checksums: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAA4eK1L%3DXS3k7X9pfYK...

- there are no tools to verify replication integrity, similar to pt-table-checksum for MySQL; that would require statement-based replication, which is not supported in PostgreSQL, even in the next major release

For me this is the last major "missing piece" for postgres. MySQL's utf8mb4_unicode_ci makes it possible to order results containing a mix of any languages. With postgres you are forced to pick a single language. It's impossible to use postgres for a truly multi-language application, where you are presenting data in (for example) English, German and Chinese on the same UI.

Yes, MySQL's ordering of languages within unicode may be arbitrary, not necessarily very meaningful, and in some cases even "wrong" - but at least you can do it, and the results are consistent and usable. Postgres is outright unusable in this scenario.

That depends. I've found I actually comment/document less now than I used to in the past, because I'm better now at writing self-documenting code. If you can read the code itself and it reads like a comment, you don't need to write the comment.

I see both code and comments as a three-way conversation between myself, the person reading the code (who may be future-me or someone else), and the compiler.

Terminals Are Sexy
Bro, read my comment.

We're talking about why a lot of B2B tech companies have a lot buzzwordy nonsense instead of descriptions of what they can do for their customers (this is not unique to tech companies, I would say this goes for most B2B) and the theory put forward was that it's to get people to pickup the phone so they can understand what the fuck the product does. This is what I debunked.

I literally worked as a salesrep at a fairly big B2B marketing startup and one of the largest enterprise software companies.

What you refer to is content marketing to generate inbound leads. Those leads would then be put on a mailing list and and an outbound process would start. Except the "book a demo" (inbound lead) which I never recall leading to a good deal.

If you are a small stage startup with a small sales team you can probably get by on inbound but you have to go outbound to saturate the market. Even then, having poor description is going to hurt your Google fu so I don't buy the strategy.

If your the market leader, like salesforce in crm, you're going to see a lot of inbound but that's because people know your product and you're gartner quadrant status. Even then you'd still do maybe 50/50 inbound outbound.

In either case, the "it's shit because it works" argument still doesn't really hold up.

They put a lot of money into sales, they put a lot of money into going to conferences. They do not, however, seem to put really any money into a decent copywriter.

I have been curious to ask someone who is knowledgeable about databases/MySQL: Spanner has a feature for creating interleaved tables, which helps data locality when performing joins on a distributed database.

Replying to my own comment with supporting info.

Citation for the first point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics

> According to this theory, the universe can be conceived of as either the output of a deterministic or probabilistic computer program, a vast, digital computation device, or mathematically isomorphic to such a device.
> "Within each universe all observable quantities are discrete, but the multiverse as a whole is a continuum. When the equations of quantum theory describe a continuous but not-directly-observable transition between two values of a discrete quantity, what they are telling us is that the transition does not take place entirely within one universe. So perhaps the price of continuous motion is not an infinity of consecutive actions, but an infinity of concurrent actions taking place across the multiverse." - David Deutsch

Also, some concepts helpful for bridging the gap:

- Programs (and their states) are graphs

- Graphs are just relationships between quantities

- Every program is an instance of the general pattern `fold(f, input)` [1]

- Imperative programs are just inputs to functional programs

- Computers can be emulated in functional languages

- Traversal of a state graph is equivalent to time travel in the universe described by the states (or travel between the universes described by the states)

- Temporal/causal reasoning is actually spatial reasoning (traversal through the mental representation of state graph edges, i.e. executing a mental program)

- Correspondence between numbers, vector spaces, matrices, objects, closures, programs, functions, graphs, simulations, proofs, mappings, categories

From the above, I believe one can reasonably conclude that:

a) computers are programs

b) computers/programs are subsets of our universe

c) all computers/programs exist inside other computers/programs

d) computers/programs exist in our universe

e) our universe exists in a computer/program, which itself does as well, etc

Again, I haven't had this verified so I'd love to hear why/how this is wrong.

Most of those effects are from earlier turbines. For new wind parks, shadows are modelled to ensure that no residential buildings are in the shadow. Often no problem if they're close to farmland, there's usually only one inhabited building in a larger radius.
It is also: another server to handle, another view of your data you have to manage, another point of failure and another security entry-point.

If you don't need all the functionality of ES you can go a long way with the Postgres fulltext search. Once you scale enough or if search is your core business ditch it and deploy a better solution like Elastic Search.

Webpack (or any other build tool, really) is complex because people's needs are complex.

You don't really need to spend too much time configuring Webpack if you're just trying to bundle a bunch of JS files together. I.e, if you don't need the fancy loaders and plugins and just want an optimized JS bundle, the instructions on this page are all you need: https://webpack.js.org/api/cli/ (see section titled "Usage Without Config File")

But of course, you don't want just that. You want support for ES6, JSX, bundling and optimizing CSS, autoprefixing, bundle splitting, building SVG sprite sheets, etc. etc. At that point you just have to deal with the complexity.

> Personally, I've found the commitment to stick to the conventions enforced by Create React App to have been largely beneficial (at least so far (in one project)). And I've been surprised how willing and able I am to creatively work within those limitations.

I feel the same way. I no longer configure my build system from scratch. I try to work with create-react-app's defaults for as long as possible, and eject if I can't coax it into doing something I need. It's no different from letting XCode or Visual Studio autogenerate a project for you and customizing it as you go along.

At the end of the day, I'd rather write code than configure build systems. But sadly, they're a necessary evil no matter what tech stack you work with. I personally feel that it's not worth spending time learning them deeply, but I'm prepared to pull up that Webpack manual one day because I know I'm definitely going to need it at some point.
