While forking is always possible, there are some things that it does solve well enough IMO. For example, sharing and reusing database connections via a connection pool is much nicer if all threads can actually access the same memory. Shared memory is both a curse and a blessing of course :|
Was the 'meme' word ever used before?

The first time I remember seeing it ten years ago was exactly to describe the modern internet phenomenon.
There are no absolutes. Is Bitcoin decentralized? Sure, but not 100%, not every human has perfectly equal say and ability in its functioning - but it is much more decentralized than other systems and that has value.

Smart contracts are similarly high on the code-is-law spectrum relative to other systems. Day-to-day transactions are near perfectly transparent, predictable and repeatable. Changes require highly visible and discussed EIPs or similar.

As time goes on and lessons are learned they will likely increase in desired qualities, never fully achieving them, always in a state of pursuit.
Zillow has such reach that they can low-ball every offer so that 99% of people won't take it - but as long as 1% of people do, and Zillow can avoid terrible houses, then Zillow will be buying properties at a huge discount from the market, plus collecting a substantial fee. Thus, they can sell at market rates and make a big profit per house.

The key advantage here is that they can make these low offers to a much bigger audience than anyone else can do. This should allow them to be either be more profitable per house than anyone else, do more volume than anyone else, or hit any mix of these two better than anyone else.

Of course, they can shoot themselves in the foot pretty well if they:

- Try to go for volume over profitability, and then catch a downturn.
- Do a bad job of running repairs.
- Don't do a good job of catching houses that are much worse than they appear.

However, there's no physical reason this can't be extremely profitable. They have the data to see their current home investors making money. If they feel they can identify the most profitable attributes of these flips, then they can route all the extra profitable ones to themselves. The only losers here are the existing people in Zillows home flipping program. They are almost guaranteed to now be getting the second best homes, once Zillow has skimmed off the profitable ones.
What do you mean by oracle support?
I'd add that sitting is extremely board. That is, sitting and doing what? Watching (mindless)TV? Or reading (more engaging materials)? Sitting on a bar stool? Or at a desk chair at the library?

Much like your point about obesity, understanding the nature of the sitting seems essential before any worthy conclusions can be made.
Per the article, the reason is that they're lobbying to keep the existing tax code rather than simplify it.

I generally agree, but I think terms like "evil" and "parasite" get thrown around a bit too easily.

We're all for simpler taxes, unless it removes the deductions that we ourselves enjoy. That is probably a much larger hindrance than any lobbying, but any such nuance is ignored in these types of shock value articles.
Frankly, we have a rather vague idea whether the networks are redundant, and how well spare capacity can be reused to amend a problem in another part of the brain.

Having a known ability to rebuild neural pathways would be important.

Did you have an index on the table? If you didn't, you had to scan the whole table on each "separate query", whereas in the single query you scanned it once.

But like someone said above, it depends on the best way, it will be different. Also when dividing into 1000 separate queries, they have to wait for the previous one to run, and then they'll need to be optimized. A more interesting comparison might be (1) create index on the id column, (2) run the 1000 updates in parallel, maybe 30 at a time?

Sounds fascinating! I guess you might not have gotten up votes because between the title and the front page of the link, as an English speaker I didn't know what I was looking at or why it was interesting.
GP comment stated that four symbols (dot, dash, short pause, long pause) were required for Morse code. This is wrong; Morse code involves three symbols, dot, dash, and pause.

I assume your parent comment interpreted the spurious requirement for "long pause" as an assumption that for communication to take place, you'd have to have a robust distinction between letter spacing and word spacing.
There was a case of a French man who suffered from extreme hydrocephaly. He lived a normal life, despite an IQ of 75, was married with two children, and held a career as a civil servant.

“It is hard for me [to say] exactly the percentage of reduction of the brain, since we did not use software to measure its volume. But visually, it is more than a 50 to 75 per cent reduction,” says Lionel Feuillet, a neurologist at the Mediterranean University in Marseille, France.

Here we go with the HN echo chamber piling on outrage. The original source post was created over 5 years ago (How the Maker of TurboTax Fought Free, Simple Tax Filing -https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5443203). It was just "updated" and reposted again and currently on the HN front page I am guessing to generate more "interest" and donations for propublica.org.
I understand your frustration. I had the same problem as you: I found webpack waaaay too abstract. Tons of configuration was needed to even begin and there was little to no documentation that I could follow as a mere mortal developer.

So what I did was to rewrite the majority of their beginner guides by submitting PR's for 2 reasons. 1: help out people like you and me. 2: learn about webpack in the process.

I can really recommend following along with the Guides, because they use really, really basic examples and become more and more "complex" (it really isn't) as you follow along.

You can find the guides here: https://webpack.js.org/guides/ and I really hope it will help you.

It isn't as difficult as it has always seemed and if you have any struggles: don't hesitate to give the webpack team (including myself) feedback so we can improve the docs and guides.

Hope it helps!

It's a pity Mozilla is pushing for a dumbed down version of its core principles, if I were them I'd:

- drop the whole cartoonish nonsense, childish errors such as "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." should be swapped back to something more useful (or at least give me an HTTP error to look up on top of that stupid cartoon)

- quit pushing for pocket and other proprietary nonsense

- stop messing with user data to please tv series marketing teams

- stop babysitting the user with paternalizing "you've been using the computer too long" health-conscious snippets

> It was easier to be more creative with hardware in the past

In the early 70s, perhaps. Then being compatible with DOS and then Windows limited most computers to x86 processors. One of the niches that was not limited gives us some hints of what can be now: Unix workstations that employed Motorola and RISC processors and all sorts of creative hardware to get a performance edge over what Intel could offer. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel and licensed large amounts of code to make the core of their OSs. They sometimes needed to port the C compiler to their architecture, but that was not the norm.

Developing for them was often making small changes to headers and recompiling the same source.
Self-reported data? That isn't verified? That's nearly always a red flag.

How about using a set of long haul truckers? In a before vs after sort of why? Their hours behind the wheel is documented (or should be). I would presume they're sitting behind the wheel :)
Sorry to sound a bit snarky, but you have a sample size of 1 as evidence. It seems there's a lot of opposition to this EIP so I wouldn't count on it being accepted.

Not necessarily. If you live in an area with spiders, you probably also have mosquitoes and all kinds of other insect disease vectors. Having a nice spider would go a long ways to keeping those vectors down.

Unfortunately my company relies a lot on Google Hangouts and Meet for video calls. Google has implemented both in a way that seems to be incompatible with Firefox (I know that the non corporate version of Hangouts works with Firefox since a few months ago).

I never understood why though, in the worst case doesn’t their house just take a bit longer to sell if a deal falls through? Aren’t there backup offers in play? Is taking a lower offer really better than just waiting a bit more for the higher offer?
Hey I did a write up of this here:

https://medium.com/@dosy/sending-forbidden-files-on-gmail-us...

Please excuse the tone I'm using. I'm just working out my style, and so on. Not an excuse. Just asking for kindness while I work out a writing voice.

Anyway I can summarize here:

- try to send many file types on GMail, get blocked for security reasons

- convert the file to a text file using https://textonly.github.io/txtmode

- attach the text file to the email and send it no problemo

- use the same link to convert the text file back to the archive

- congratulations you just used GMail to send a file GMail ( in its infinite wisdom ) did not want you to send

I'm not making this as a hack and I hope no one uses it to do bad stuff obviously, this is just to get over the poorly implemented "threat scan" GMail currently uses, which blocks plenty of useful and harmless files, and which disingenuously forces the "workaround" of uploading to GDrive.

DNP: the return of a deadly weight-loss drug (2014)
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to see that what the banking system has realised hundreds or thousands of years ago, that sometimes things go wrong and you need to undo it, is actually true. Cryptocurrencies deliberately design around what society has deliberately put in place, because that's what we want.
I guess the question is does the sum of fees collected + cost of lobbying exceed the value of complexity ? In some regards the cost of complexity is a tax on the general populace to deal with the poor behavior of individuals sufficiently incentivized to discover and exploit loopholes.

Can Iridum do multi-user the way Chrome does? I have different Chrome users configured for different things. That, AFAIK, makes FF a no go for me.
Ruby does fine with #2. Fans of static type systems love to overstate perceived drawbacks of dynamic languages, but the simplicity of reading Ruby code built around JSON.parse vs. Scala or Kotlin with Jackson more than makes up for any type safety from the compiler.

Also, there's a sort of intermediate step, a dynamic language with schema validation, for which I wrote a modestly well-used (within the overall schema validation gem market) gem a while ago. Then you can validate at the point of translation, without being beholden to a concrete data type (POJO, data class, case class, etc.) that has to be updated whenever the wire format changes.
What sites only work with Chrome? Even though Safari has a minuscule desktop market share, I can't see most sites being incompatible with iOS.
I think this is worth challenging. A small sample means there's a higher likelihood that the sample is not very random. It's often pulled from some easily available source, like a group of college students.

An idealized perfect random small sample might be just fine for statistics, but there's little reason to believe that's the sample we're getting. Small samples should be a cause for suspicion.

> Really it's only inaccurate because the price of housing isn't static and certainly isn't objective.

If it was static, an estimation tool wouldn't be useful.

And it's not just "the price of housing isn't static and certainly isn't objective." After all, Redfin faces exactly the same difficulties. Somehow Redfin uses more or less the same data and comes up with estimates that are much closer to the prices houses actually sell for (in this area).

The median house sold in my area cost ~$660k last year (zip code 98117). 10% overestimation is a (much) larger absolute error than $15-30k.

And there is plenty of sale volume in this area of similar houses -- the average/median of which are far below Zillow's estimates.

I wouldn't say appraised value is what matters. What matters at the end of the day is what buyers are willing and able to pay. Appraised value is both a factor in that as well as a result of that.

Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like this view in this case.

Crypto in cryptocurrency still stands for cryptographic and by using crypto for cryptocurrency we are making things harder to understand for eveyone.

Of course language evolves, but I think, given the chance, we should make it easier to understand and not harder.

I was looking through the thread for this solution. It's great because it's much harder to mess up and is less verbose than a case, and it's built on common SQL features making it portable and fast and easy to grok (as long as both the engine and the dba knows how joins work).

As a data analyst this technique is also great for scrubbing dirty data at query time when you don't have the ability to just fix it.
That's a great starting point, and one this article makes zero effort to address. Unfortunately nuance doesn't get clicks.

There was an index on the PK column and the value column as well.

Edit: Oh no, there was not. My bad :/ I added an index and the query time dropped to 5 seconds or so. A lot, lot faster, but 4x as slow as the CASE version.

Parallel queries would probably perform better, but I'm looking at a more general case. Django supports a lot of backends and not all of them support parallel queries, and indeed there is no way to make parallel queries like this in Django.

If we are talking about Postgres specifics, there is some better syntax for this that lets you join on a list of Values you can construct, which I intend to add support for later.

But if using 1 case statement is generally faster than issuing N individual synchronous queries then it's a big win for applications that have to do this kind of thing:

for instance in queryset.all():
instance.field = some_function()
instance.save()

While this isn't a super common pattern it does crop up from time to time and it's annoying to work around (if you even can).
I must have misunderstood the OP. I thought it was about launching things like InDesign to displace established market dominators like Word by providing a better tool.
Chrome allows for multiple users. FF does not. That why, in my case, forces me to Chrome.
This. Ruby is used where it's used because it's slow, and you can't write any professional, performant app with it. But if you have a similar language that it's safer and faster, Ruby syntax is a pleasure to work with.
Look for force-multiplying effects you've contributed to. That is, focus on the things that you've done that have increased the effectiveness of both your immediate team and the larger product organization.

Demonstrate that you're already excelling at the responsibilities of a Sr. Engineer: You're taking ownership of new projects and crushing it. You're mentoring other engineers. You're making effective product decisions based on dynamic business constraints. Cite examples.

Point to some projects and explain your contributions in terms of customer value. I find that explaining the problems you're solving through a business lens is an effective way to signal that you can quickly grasp new business challenges and run with them. Employers are looking for people they can trust from Day 1.

Hope this helps :)

Why are they in a unique position with respect to reach? I would think that it would be hard to scale across so many jurisdictions when you need to hire licensed contractors to do repairs and have lawyers allowed to practice real estate law across many states.

I have tried switching to the newer version of FF but have found that I just can't live without Chrome's built-in "Translate to English" feature. I realize that this probably isn't that important to most users, but for me it's something that I use almost daily. I checked briefly for FF plugins that offered the same functionality, but quickly got the sense that nothing was going to match the quality of Chrome's implementation, so I switched back to Chrome as my default browser.

Has anyone found a worthy replacement for Chrome's translation feature in FF?

This startup's existence and failure and is yet another symptom of how we grossly overestimate what AI can do. If the task isn't simple, repetitive, or clearly defined, unlike the real world, it's probably not going to succeed. Are there any AI startups that are an anti pattern here?
The point being made is: Technology without vision is dehumanizing. This is widely known and is, for example, the reason good schools make undergrad engineering students take at least a few humanities classes before they leave.

Technology without vision is dehumanizing - it happened with Penn Station, where narrow quantitative and engineering goals displaced the broader human ones and led to the widely-hated station that's there now, which was excavated by people who were called hogs, and which makes passengers feel like rats. The loss is especially acute there, since everybody knows what the old station was like ( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=old+penn+station&kp=-2&iax=images&... ). It was an edifice comparable to the great gares and bahnhöfe of Europe (or to Grand Central which for some reason we decided to keep), a monument to national power, industrial wealth, and the technologies of the time, but also a space that evoked something a little more noble in the human spirit somehow.

The writer is also drawing a parallel with the dehumanizing effect of the particular startup he worked for. The analysts are the hogs, he's the rat, his own perceived loss of creativity (probably a bit exaggerated... aahhh youth) is the dehumanization part, and the absentee CEO is the lack of vision. (If a CEO has one function, it's to provide vision. And in second place, not far behind, is to establish company culture.)

Arguably, placing technical/quantitative goals above more humanistic ones is what an organization like Nazi Germany was all about. But obviously it's way more complicated than that, and I don't intend to address it further.

I would point you toward Dmitri Orlov's concept of a Technosphere. Analogous to the "biosphere" it models human technology as a quasi-intelligent entity that is global in scope.

Everybody here are the ones who most need to hear this message. Some will doubtless resist the criticism of ML/datasci with the fervor of someone whose long-held religious belief is challenged for the first time. But you needed that. Feel free to prove the critiques wrong, by the way... that's kind of the whole point. Prove them wrong with broad projects that actually benefit humanity instead of being a mess of unintended consequences and unimpressive bullshit.
