I suppose a better question is "Why aren't you using a framework that automates 90% of your CRUD?"

There are lots of those. Rails is the obvious one to point to, but there are dozens of others built in the late 00's that all tried to recreate that "20 minute DB-Backed Blog" demo.

I imagine the answer (to my question, and thus yours) is that fashion changed. Everybody wants to build Single Page Apps today. For everything. Even when it makes no sense whatsoever to do so.

So you find yourself dragging in a few megabytes of javascript just to render your static blog page. And you have all the power that made sense for the engineers at Facebook to use on their newsfeed, where things would regularly change behind the scenes and the page needed to re-render and re-flow itself several times a minute without the user noticing, for which a brief 3 second "flash of empty container" was a reasonable trade-off. And you use none of that power on your page, but you have it there in reserve, just in case. Because that's what The Trend has told you to do.

Step back and build some pieces of your site with tools that can look at your database and spit out some sensible defaults for CRUD screens, shamefully pre-rendered on the server as they may be, for the pieces where it makes sense to do so.
They're mostly reacting to the title, because that's all that most HN comments react to. This is a much stronger effect than I think people realize.

Had the title said "Min, a first attempt at a minimal browser that we hope might have some value someday, perhaps you could take a look", commenters would bend over backwards to find nice things to say, because that would be the only way to contradict the title.

Actually the nice comments mostly come up for the same reason as the harsh ones—contradicting what someone else said. First the harsh comments contradict the title and then the nice comments contradict the harsh ones. Contradictions R us.

Edit: I started calling this the contrarian dynamic:

The issues with the high level API goes slightly deeper. It looks like some of the graph operations are not available on Android (and equivalently on the desktop) by default[1]. The motivation for this is that we have stricter requirements for computation costs and application size on different platforms. So there is an approach that allows to compile minimal set of operations required to run the graph[2][3]. However it requires Bazel as the primary build tool for the Android app as well. The good news is that the TensorFlow team understands the issue and works on improving the documentation and tooling[4].

That said, would you be able to share any example snippets on how you are persisting and loading these models in your code ? That would be super helpful.

Also, im getting the feeling that you are using the deprecated method of saving. I think they are shifting to Metagraph now (not sure about this) https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/master/api_docs/python/t...

That goes without saying - if smart people want just to acquire wealth they will surely look for some other employment than engineering.

Engineering in the large is a profit generating endeavour. Therefore, when an engineer reviews his revenue stream, what he is doing is evaluating the worth of his contribution to society based on one heuristic variable.

Sure, it's never clear cut, but putting it as bluntly as I did underlines the fact that pecuniary compensation can be viewed as a form of just reward and not just profit seeking (which some consider immoral).
The word “fallen” in the headline suggests something more. Tragedy.

I don’t think that’s not necessarily true. I don’t know how it works now, but at one point I know that delivery companies like Postmates would take the end customer’s order, pay for it, pick it up, and deliver it, without the restaurant (necessarily) knowing that the courier wasn’t the actual end customer. In that case, clearly the bad delivery experience isn’t the restaurant’s responsibility, although at some point they might decide they need to take action to resolve the problem.
We are looking into the best way to add native kubernetes support. Currently, you can add a mount on the host or directly mount the file system inside the container. Both approaches work well, so it mainly depends on your preferred architecture.
> You don't really need a graph to support different backends. One popular approach is to have different array implementations (e.g. CPU and GPU arrays).

And now you can (waves arms) write it twice! Alternatively, you can make the interfaces between various impls be exactly the same but rename them so they're purpose-named. Then you've written Graph, for the most part.

At least to the per-machine monitoring within an app service: If you go to the "diagnostics and services" options, then "diagnostics as a service" there's something where you'll see "app services" on the right side (I'm trying to recall all this from memory so forgive if I've transposed some words in the names) and it will give you the perf counter breakdown per node.

I'll give you absolutely un-intuitive UI, but maybe that can at least be helpful. (Disclosure, MS dev for an unrelated team, I just know these bits since I was using them recently)

> only people with significant incomes and the ability to lose 98% of their investments

If you only invest 1%, you can only lose 1%. And with bitcoin, you can invest at $1 if you want.

> I would argue the odds are against you in BTC.

Seems that in reality they weren't.

> Should you put a tiny % of your investment in horse races?

Still talking about Vegas? In that case you don't seem to understand risk-return. NOBODY should invest in horse races or Vegas, or the lottery. Nobody! Not rich, not poor. Why? Because the risk-return ratio is known to be < 1. Why? Because casino's and bookmakers make sure it is < 1.

The risk-return of Bitcoin is not known to be < 1, and neither are that of startups. Therefore people can actually make money investing in these high risk things, by averaging them out.

Let me put this in another way, if you place a huge amount of Vegas bets, you average out the risk-return, and you will end up with < 1 return. If you place a huge amount of 'bets' on startups and similar investments, you can end up with > 1. That's why people are making money with it.

Instead of arguing with me, maybe you should consider that there might be a tiny bit in truth to all of this. And then maybe that wisdom can make you some decent money in the future. But I won't lose any sleep over it if you don't. I have a sane, pretty conservative investment strategy, and it's doing fine.
I'd argue that we need to tax corporate dividends, interest paid, and stock buybacks at the same rate. That rate could be set to be revenue neutral. Dividends taxed less, interest and stock buybacks are taxed more.

All the ways businesses pay for their capital should be taxed at the same rate.

I believe "reproducible build" is a more appropriate term.

Unfortunately its quite difficult to get a fully reproducible build with Maven as the post points out. Even if you manage to replicate the build environment and settings, Maven produced binaries will be slightly different on each run. File timestamps are saved in jar files so they change on every build.

Inherited project running in production, sources in git did not build. Project depended on packages which were present when it was built, but never added to package.json. Code in production was minified. Had to track down a ton of missing npm dependencies.

Another example is someone depends on a library, then that library's author deletes it.

This is why it may be worth committing your dependency's sources, despite "best practices" dictating otherwise. When someone needs to add a feature 10yrs from now and they only have an incomplete package.json & a copy of minified code, they're in for a world of hell.

I even had to recover a project which built non deterministically. Sometimes it would build, sometimes it would error. Running the build several times, it would eventually succeed. The project's author had written their build system against an unstable version of Webpack & Typescript,
before they were popular (both of which are now perfectly stable).

From the beginning of the Web onwards, you had very little idea of what people actually did on your site, but the fact that they visited was an easily counted line in a plain text log file.

The moment something else was available (e.g. actual clicks on an ad, or conversion rate), that was used.

> Think about it: when was the last time that you interrupted reading a book for watching the TV or a movie?

> But how many time you've watched your phone while doing something else?

I don't think this example proves your point. For me, a book engages ~100% of my cognitive resources; a movie also engages a large amount. Therefore, those activities can't be done simultaneously with other stuff if I'm to enjoy them or benefit from them. OTOH, social media usually engages less than 50% of my brain power, so it's a perfect thing to do simultaneously with other things that barely engage my brain and otherwise would bore me out of my mind. Hence: yes, it's reasonable to watch your phone while doing something else.
Outside of America there is not an opioid crisis, therefore marijuana is there along the way to class A drugs. So class A addicts could get weed just as easily and possibly easier than their normal substances. In theory they could 'get off the heroin' by smoking weed instead. This never happens even though the option is there.

Meanwhile, in America, where the doctors got everyone hooked on class A drugs, the marijuana was bypassed, along with smoking. Regular people went along for tooth and other operations to end up opioid addicts. They were not hanging out with the wrong crowd, they went to their doctors for help with pain. Their route to being hooked has been entirely different, so maybe using marijuana for the underlying pain management is worth a go. As things currently stand there is the sorry rehab process or prison/death, hopefully weed really can offer a better way back to a normal life for them.

To summarise, you suggest it's a waste of time, I ask how is it a waste of time to click on one version of a link over another, you suggest there's no difference in efficiency.

They might miss out on a few edits made after the page was cached, but in the grand scheme of things that's unlikely to matter.

I wonder how the PLB can be fast. You have a dictionary from byte range to permission. This is harder than TLBs, which map a relatively large granule where you can form a search key by just extracting the top bits from the virtual address.

Intel MPX has a similar protection model, and that introduces a lot of overhead (of course it is bolted onto an existing arch and it wasn't a high priority feature).
I feel like you're talking about an experience that precisely emerged from the Starbucksization of food and beverage production.

Where I come from, staff in cafés would kill to make a consistent coffee every time (and they mostly do) but they're stuck with old machinery.
But now that Starbucks has delivered that, customers want to go back to an authentic experience that really has never existed.

The same thing will happen to food i.e most people would love to have decent restaurant meals delivered at a really low price. The fact that some people will try to taste gourmet food prepared by real chefs is rather irrelevant to say the least...
Good grief. Couldn't you have made the fonts less legible? I'm having too easy of a time reading.

You mean yourself or the plot?
I think that in the third act Egan added some weaker elements both as a corollary of the idea being explored and as a way of introducing some traditional action, in a novel that is otherwise mostly the setup of an elaborate thought experiment.

Nonetheless, I think the result is extraordinary, because the problems posed, the paradoxes highlighted, and some brilliant insights, are new and valid outside the fictional world created in the novel.

You need to interact with the question, why a painter won't use puzzle pieces and instead draws fresh strokes each time he draws a picture. That's the core point of the idea and I think with the example painter it's much easier to see than with programming.

And I also answered your question already in a literal sense. We don't really recreate the same abstractions. They feel similar to the user, but are quite different through having a detail different here and a detail different there. E.g. in one CRUD app you load the data from the web API, then filter, parse and format it for presentation. In another CRUD app you already filter and transform via SQL in the database. This is not done randomly but for a reason. Through the whole process something different is created each time. At a certain skill level you simply want to have that flexibility.

A friend was oscillating between drunk & sober... She told me that her neighbor had offered to smoke up with her.

"You're going to, right?"

She protested that she might need to take a drug test. I replied that she was never going to be able to keep a job like she was (she'd lost 3 jobs over the course of a year on account of not being able to cope with "stress" without the assistance of the devil's drink).

She smoked up with her neighbor and got her medical cannabis card a few months later. She's doing much better now. Art therapy has been a big breakthrough, but cannabis got her stable enough to get to the studio.

She got a CBD vapor pen for my girlfriend, who had methadone-induced alcohol dependency. My girlfriend said the CBD really helped control the anxiety which she'd been using the alcohol to self-treat. This CBD pen got stolen from her before she was arrested, which might've been fortunate because that would've been more charges (prosecutors gotta prosecute, to justify their salaries).

Expect for the "medical marijuana" prescription
This is a cool project. Thanks for sharing the link. I'll totally buy/mine some GRIN when it comes out.

Things I like so far:

1) Solves privacy and scaling in a single elegant stroke.

2) Inventors seem to be anonymous. I didn't try too hard to identify them but Tom Elvis Jedusor is the French name of Lord Voldemort. This is an important feature for privacy focused coins and for cryptocurrency as a political statement (not just as a technology).

3) The website, by eschewing flashy web2.0 design and and buzzwords, clearly sets itself apart from the typical "lets get rich quick" coin. Although I am disappointed the white paper isn't done in LaTeX.

Reasons I'm skeptical (perhaps you can address these):

1) Missed the boat on first mover advantage. Monero seems to solve the privacy problem good enough. Perhaps it is unreasonable to expect people to completely swap over to a new coin whenever there's an advance in tech. Especially when word of the new coin has to spread through grass roots instead of a centralized mechanism.

2) Elliptic curve crypto is vulnerable to quantum computers. IMO this is a ticking time bomb.

3) Expanding on point 2, bitcoin intentionally made a habit of layering "proven" crypto methods on top of each other. Eg both SHA256 and RIPEMD160 hash functions are used so that if a weakness is found in one hash the other is still ok. So far as I can tell mimblewimble has a single point of failure (elliptic curve cryptography).
