I don't see the logistics argument in the article.

The article states i) distraction from in-store sales for employees, ii) removing inventory from store shelves, and iii) no credit for stores.

The "stores don't get credit" argument is weak. The article implies that corporate is siphoning credit from stores to online. Sales are down 6% across the board. Samestore sales down 6.5%, online sales down 4.5%. Omnichannel does not create those numbers.

Anyway, the logistics argument depends on more than rates. Fulfilling from a midwest warehouse can be cheap; a warehouse full of product sliding down a markdown curve can be expensive.

I've been surprised by the merchant pushback to omnichannel. I've been hearing "there are no cash registers in the warehouse", etc. for years. Now we expose more inventory to customers and stores complain about selling to the wrong (usually ecommerce) customer.
Because then every other company would file similar suite and Google would have to deal with all of them.
It makes sense to let client code handle allocations and whatnot. What I cannot find is how to pass one or more tensors (given, I suppose, by some shape parameters and a pointer to the data buffer) to Tensor Comprehensions.

I would have expected that operations expressed in the tensor language could be compiled once and for all (for a given target) into a DLL, and then it would be just a matter of passing the right buffer and shape parameters to a function. I see no reason why this should not be easily handled in C (which makes it easier to bind it from most languages).

If I understand correctly, DLPack is the format of choice to express a tensor, and ATen is not required, but I cannot find examples using DLPack
> What's more, this relation in Wayland world is even tighter than it was in X11, since under X you could easily replace the window manager and still be able to configure stuff like screens and input with tools from your DE.

What you would loose is the ability to configure the appearance of the decorations because the WM might do it differently. With CSD this is done by Gtk+ regardless of the WM.

> Those compositors who don't have a toolkit at hand usually aren't targeted for desktop at all. On mobile, embedded, automobile etc. you don't usually need a toolkit, cause you won't draw decorations anyway.

A toolkit is still needed for buttons, text, etc.

> I've used bunch of them on my Openmoko and Maemo phones.

Both come with Gtk+.

> Also, to use your own argument - last time I checked, majority of the apps don't customize their window decoration space.

Have a look at Windows and you'll see that most apps will do it if they are able to. All web browsers, the file manager, Office, ...

Also most GNOME apps are already using GtkHeaderBar. And let's not forget the most used applications: Chrome and Firefox (still behind a config flag atm).

> Oh, just thought about it - on desktop, you probably need a toolkit in the compositor anyway if you want to provide good UX, cause when some app freezes, you need to have some way to signalize that to the user and give them a way to choose between closing the app, waiting for it to unfreeze, moving it away etc.

GNOME Shell uses St for that, not Gtk+.
While I understand the reason Google did it (because of lawsuits), this is very annoying, and I mean in general: you don't know how or if you can use a resource you fetch from a website even if its robots.txt allows you to fetch it. This is in fact an even bigger deal for small companies than for Google, since the latter already reached a size where it can manage the issue somehow.

It would be nice to have a version of robots.txt that states (in a predefined format) the license under which the resource is available. That way you could know right away what you can and you can not do with it.

> Why chromecast support took so long

> Chromecast support is everywhere and VLC took years to get it, right, but there are plenty of good reasons for it:

> First of all, VideoLAN is a nonprofit organization and not a company. There are few developers paid for making VLC, most of them do it in their free time. That’s how you get VLC for free and without any ads!

> Also, VLC is 100% Open Source and Chromecast SDK isn’t: We had to develop our very own Chromecast stack by ourselves. This is also why there is no voice actions for VLC (except with Android Auto), we cannot use Google Play Services.

> Furthermore, Chromecast is not designed to play local video files: When you watch a Youtube video, your phone is just a remote controller, nothing more. Chromecast streams the video from youtube.com.
That’s where it becomes complicated, Chromecast only supports very few codecs number, let’s say h264. Google ensures that your video is encoded in h264 format on youtube.com, so streaming is simple.
With VLC, you have media of any format. So VLC has to be a http server like youtube.com, and provide the video in a Chromecast compatible format. And of course in real time, which is challenging on Android because phones are less powerful than computers.

> At last, VLC was not designed to display a video on another screen. It took time to properly redesign VLC to nicely support it. The good news is we did not make a Chromecast specific support, it is generic renderers: in the next months we can add UPnP support for example, to cast on any UPnP box or TV!

For one particular example where homoiconicity makes reasoning about programs easier, consider an important reasoning method called abstract interpretation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_interpretation

Using abstract interpretation, you can derive interesting program properties. The uniformity and simplicity of Prolog code, as well as its built-in language constructs like unification and backtracking, make it especially easy to write abstract interpreters for Prolog.

Here is a paper that applies this idea to derive several interesting facts about programs and their meaning:

Michael Codish and Harald Søndergaard, Meta-circular Abstract Interpretation in Prolog (2002)
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F3-540-36377-7_6

Abstract interpretation is also applicable to other programming languages. However, it is much easier to apply to homoiconic languages like Prolog.
no "provincial" backstabbing in LA/NYC - God no.
Unlike subtyping, sum types are bounded - you can't add new variants without modifying the originally-defined type.

That's a huge difference in terms of code architecture - it enables things like exhaustive pattern matching, and allows the programmer to enforce stronger invariants in the code.

This is great feedback, and you're totally right about your understanding of the problem. We do rely on having a full picture of all your exchanges and wallets for all the calculations to work correctly. For crypto wallets that we don't support, we recommend for now manually entering the transactions from those wallets. We plan to support more wallets in the near future. We have some more info on this issue in our FAQ: https://www.cointracker.io/faq#cost-basis-wrong

We will also make it clearer to the user when we see there are outgoing transactions that may indicate a missing wallet / exchange.

All of your claims call for citations. Its not that they are untrue. But they are not as sweepingly true as they might seem to an uninitiated reader. For example, you can try KD tree on a 50K dimension data set and judge for yourself.
I wasn't talking about the number of bits, my friend. I was talking about the attitude that "it's not my problem after I'm dead." That's exactly why we are stuck with so many societal problems. For example, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was a true victory for the sons-of-guns who got it enacted, but then they died and now we're all left with the aftermath. It's this shortsighted attitude that is the problem, not the number of bits in the implementation.
It does. I also don't have flash installed, which probably helps. Can't remember the last time not having it caused a problem; good riddance.

Ask HN: Which stack do you use at your startup?
It's always supply and demand, maybe demand rose as a result, or supply decreased as a result, but to claim that an earnings report directly correlates to valuation is like claiming that measuring the temperature of the sea affects the water level.
> A lot of times I am looking for images which are in the public domain

Do you think that’s a valid justification to give the person who hosted it no credit and traffic for their work, instead choosing to leech the image directly from their server at their cost? The fact that they built a page around the image with relevant keywords that is the only reason you found it through Google in the first place. There’s nothing stopping someone from building a public domain image search that hosts its own images, but you went to Google for convenience.
This is great advice. Thanks for the anecdotes.

I'm a native English/Russian speaker who took a few Spanish courses in high school and college, and recently decided it would be a waste if I didn't finally learn to speak it fluently, at least like a child. In some sense, I suppose I already do. I can read many things and spoken slowly enough can understand partially -- but there is some mental block, mostly in the smaller, connecting words and other "minor" details that are actually major and completely central to the language. So I drill duolingo from time to time but it seems like mostly a waste of time since I know a majority of the words, and the ones I don't know such as "curtain" aren't critical for me. I always had the idea to visit Spain for several months to force myself to adapt to the language but that's been impractical thus far. I knew reading would be good too and your story of learning Japanese is inspiring, so I think I will find some children's books or Mexican menus. Thank you
You're probably new to HN, so you might not have seen all the other stories about sexism posted in the last year or so.

I don't have the resources to set this up, but perhaps some of you/Y Combinator does...

What about gravity assists, harvesting kinetic energy from other planets?

It would make for a good supervillain story, intentionally ramming the Earth with a gravity assisted projectile, but a terrible weapon system. Any conflict likely being already over by the time it does its tour of the solar system and arrives back, so it's probably better to just use the rocket fuel to build a conventional bomb. Or better yet, use nukes.
Read code. In paper.

Do not clone a repo, compile it, and run it.

Get code about something you want to learn about,
or code written by someone you admire, make a printed copy, and read it carefully.

Follow how stuff is done. Try to understand the hows and whys without a compiler at hand. Without documentation.

Then, start looking for stuff you don't know how it works and consult documentation only after you cannot figure out what's happening.

I learnt a lot of C++ and Win32 this way from Microsoft Systems Journal (a long time ago).

And believe me, it works.

I guess - mind, this is an uneducated guess - that population density is more of a marker here than sheer population. (Or area!)

After all, high population density leads to more interactions with other people, a small portion of which escalate to violence.

Also, if I was aiming for a career in violent crime, I'd pick a place with lots of potential victims. After all, mugging the other inhabitant of East Nowhere, Alaska pretty much means you've cornered that market and need to move elsewhere.

(The underlying assumption is that the percentage of people murdered by their partner or close friends is pretty much even across the country, and that what varies is the - hm - opportunistic murder rate.)
> "Because more or less everything is Turing-complete."

If you understand what it means, then you'd know that it means that all programming languages are comparable, from assembly to Haskell, in the sense they can all be used to do the same job. Therefore, requesting a comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of two programming languages is not a foolish request. The point of such a request is to find out where it makes sense to use a particular language. To give another example, let's say someone asks if it's a good idea to write a web server in assembly or in Go. It's certainly possible in either, but in order to explore what the best choice is then further discussion is required. Comparing a Dremel to a plasma cutter is an attempt to shut down this discussion, which doesn't help in furthering the knowledge of the participants.

Financial time series data is exactly one of the use cases Mongo claimed to be for. Seems you’re the one who can’t tell good engineering practice from bad. And yes, they also pitched themselves as a direct replacement for Oracle. That was highly disingenuous.
This is what leads to things like monads appearing as programming constructs; they provide neat abstractions which allow you to reason about code at a higher level than you otherwise could.

* Google knows that account does not, actually belongs to you, but now are in a position, where they either: eat the $10 with a WONTFIX, and pave the way to a mass lawsuit or refund the $10, and have a free way for scammers to exploit.
The question to ask is whether the book is just shaping your understanding of what the child tells you or whether you are now listening more to the book than to the child. The books I have seen all argue for their preferred theory of what's good for children. Preferences of children (whether expressed eloquently or through tantrums or just inferred by the parent) are never considered. This book seems to be no exception.

Not to defend Deere et al., but one argument I've seen bandied about is that the manufacturers consider their software to be their "secret sauce" value add. If machined steel were all there is, there's nothing preventing the Chinese (or whoever happens to be the current outsourcing bogeyman) from producing perfectly good equipment at a fraction of the price. Personally I'm not convinced this is a really sustainable "moat"; surely the Chinese (boo!) can do embedded programming as well.

The study doesn't say that women are less likely to experience sexual harassment online, but harassment overall:

Men and women experience and respond to online harassment in different ways. Overall, men are somewhat more likely to experience any form of harassing behavior online: 44% of men and 37% of women have experienced at least one of the six behaviors this study uses to define online harassment. In terms of specific experiences, men (30%) are modestly more likely than women (23%) to have been called offensive names online or to have received physical threats (12% vs. 8%).

By contrast, women – and especially young women – encounter sexualized forms of abuse at much higher rates than men. Some 21% of women ages 18 to 29 report being sexually harassed online, a figure that is more than double the share among men in the same age group (9%). In addition, roughly half (53%) of young women ages 18 to 29 say that someone has sent them explicit images they did not ask for. For many women, online harassment leaves a strong impression: 35% of women who have experienced any type of online harassment describe their most recent incident as either extremely or very upsetting, about twice the share among men (16%).

Difficult to bring about the singularity without historic levels of technical competency and financial investment. Anything less is simply being contemptuous of the true challenge that must be overcome to achieve even 1/10th of what could be possible. A bunch of lectures, or sci-fi-esque stories really aren't going to do anything to achieve it past the first batch that really opened it up, but they do have an effect on what people care about, and what motivates them, so they aren't totally worthless.

Imagine if scientists approached bringing about the Manhattan Project without also demanding 10% of US GDP for five years, multiple state spanning test sites, absolute discretion, and the work output of hundreds of thousands. Same goes for the Apollo project.

Achieving the promises of the Singularity - whatever that happens to be exactly - is bigger than all of those nation spanning projects combined.

And we will only get there through enormous quantities of technical and organizational blood, sweat and tears spanning decades, and more likely, centuries. The work required is bigger than every research org, every country, and every company, so it looks less like "hard take off" and more like faster plodding.
