And here I am still writing C++ like a chump.

Jokes aside, I love the idea of ORMs; SQL is tricky to get right and has lead to so many serious security vulnerabilities I think we should all be happy if we stop generating it inside applications.

But I wish DHH had actually said something technical about why they are ready now when they were not before. Most people's complaints about ORMs was not that they didn't work at all, it was that performance sucked if you used them naively and learning to use an ORM was about as complicated as learning SQL.

What prevents anybody else from just grabbing a famous painting and build another website to sell it?
That's true, but it's the cost this town paid for not wanting regulations at all. They have literally no zoning regs and are now crying that someone took advantage of them. They shouldn't have been so naive.
Essentially, this is paying people to take care of themselves, benefit themselves, and benefit society. A form of "trickle-up economics", if you will.

This adds to the value they receive back from society for improving themselves and their situation. It's reminiscent of EIC in the USA. This may be the best distribution method for this sort of funding.

Now the only question is the same as UBI - who funds it? Why is this tested in Kenya instead of Detroit or Wyoming? Is it because the daily income of a Kenyan is a rounding-error to an American? That won't scale.
The -je suffix in Dutch is commonly used and means 'small'. 'app' is used here as an alias for WhatsApp.

I'm also Dutch but I think 'app' is more like an alias for any chat service. WhatsApp is indeed huge though. Texting is basically dead in Europe afaict.
High-res scans of sculptures are already a thing [0]. Just send the polygon mesh to a 3d printing and presto, you get your own David by Michelangelo.
However, painting would be waay more difficult, especially in cases (such as Van Gogh) where the artist deliberately applies thick layers of paint.

Reputation systems, if they try too hard, quickly reach a point where ambitious fakes are more successful at convincing the system than casual real users.

There's nothing wrong with compression, data can be lossless and still compressed. That's why a FLAC file can be three times smaller than an otherwise identical WAV file.
You have a confused view of the realities of "individuals" vs "industry".
With HTTP/2, you can send files down independently, without creating a large bundle, so each file can be cached. You couldn’t obfuscate function names across files though unless you made the process deterministic based on module name.

I think there are some US states where housing rental/lease agreements are regulated to be shorter/simpler. I want to say our lease in Washington was only 3 or 4 pages. Whereas, I recall other places have been in the dozens of pages.

Of course, I'm one of the minority who reads every page of those...and everything singed when buying a house. Luckily, most title companies will supply copies ahead of time.
I explain the basics of our concurrency control here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16877950

I guess textbook SSI is willing to "reorder" conflicting transactions if the result is still serializable, which could violate external consistency if you don't have any other bounds on the order. In the language of SSI, fdb simply aborts the later of any pair of read/write transactions with an rw-conflict, in accordance with a fixed ordering which is externally consistent.

I guess it could also be that your book uses an idiosyncratic definition of linearizable, like trying to apply it to individual operations within transactions, which might rule out any optimistic concurrency method. It might just be better to delete this word from your vocabulary in the database field because there is no wide agreement on what it means. The first two hits on Google for me are Wikipedia and Peter Bailis, and they give clearly conflicting definitions, though I think fdb satisfies both!
"appje" is the diminuitive form of "app", which is a shortened form of "whatsapp" (referring to a whatsapp message).

In English, you would never shorten the phrase "I'll send you a whatsapp" to "I'll send you an app" because the word "app" would be confused with a mobile app.

The Dutch still use the word "app" to mean a mobile app; "appje" means a whatsapp. So the diminuitive form allows them to disambiguate.

That's really interesting! I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind.

1) How do you make sure you're not getting scammed? I mean you probably can't really get scammed in the literal sense, because you'd still be helping out a poor person somewhere (just maybe a 20-something year old guy in Nigeria rather than a single mom in Kenya).

2) Was it difficult to sign up for M-Pesa (and top it up with credit) given that you're not in Africa?

3) Why did you decide to give directly, rather than support, say, a charity that builds schools for girls in Kenya? A friend of mine is paying the college tuition for a student in Nigeria (wired directly to the University), which I think is great, as the recipient is less likely to see it as a 'handout', but rather as an investment into their future.
I think the idea when they named it was that it was the supreme trial court, with jurisdiction to try any type of case, as opposed to other trial courts with restricted jurisdictions.

BTW, Maryland also calls their top-level court the Court of Appeals, but does not use the term Supreme Court within their state court system.
The number of holidays is always written in the contract. A company would never write that you have unlimited holidays, that's just plain stupid.

If it's written, it means that you have the minimum legal number of days in your jurisdiction and you are being screwed severely.
I had some friends in college who took LSD periodically and they were still not great people and many of them still had anxiety so it's definitely not a silver bullet for personal problems. They also trashed an apartment and got arrested while on it once so that might've colored my views on it.
Just to clarify, I'm not disagreeing with you that the current dependency-heavy JS world is madness or that the bloat during development activities is unhelpful. I'm just saying that having a large/complicated development environment is probably a separate issue to having a large application for most other practical purposes, but looking at the size of node_modules will often conflate the two.

> If Microsoft decided that the correct patch cadence was quarterly or annually (because so much QA work goes into a release), does that change what a disclosure deadline should look like?

Microsoft uses a regular patch cadence so enterprise users can allocate the necessary resources for review and update of their computers. There are scores of enterprises that use tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of computers per install.

The manner of Google's expected information release puts many end-customers at risk. It is true that in this case the vulnerability was due to Microsoft, but the release of exploitable information will put enterprises at risk. That is why Microsoft asked for additional time. This is a business decision not a technical decision.

Sure, Microsoft may have encountered technical issues in their fixing of the issue, but the risk upon exploit information being released is the issue. Google shoulders that risk all by themselves.
Not related to hydrogen, but it takes as much electricity to refine and distribute gasoline to drive 1km as an electric car uses to drive 1km
To add to this, the FRA regulates track speed based upon condition of the track and some other requirements. Track condition is typically quite good (rail companies really want to avoid derailments), but one of the biggest impediments is grade crossings. The faster the track, the more extensive protection needed to keep trains and cars separate. Table 42 [1] here gives the requirements. Most of the mainline track is Class 4. You'll notice to hit 125 mph every grade crossing needs a full barrier between the car and train. And faster that that, complete grade separation (ie, bridge). US rail was not designed with this in mind and while they close a grade crossing any chance they get, they're still a major hindrance to high speed operation.

You're right, nothing hinders. Only the popularity of one compared to others.
It just works flawlessly. It's like the difference between driving a <generic cheap car> and a Tesla Model S. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes the experience so much better because they essentially do the same thing but they are at the same time incomparable.
Using YouTube to generate the timestamps is a really good idea!

I'm manually recording timestamps while I read/listen to the Bible, verse by verse. Every time I click pause in Pingtype's Media Viewer, it logs the time. It's painstaking, but I'm trying to study each verse while I read anyway, so it's good to let me pause regularly.

There's a lot of LRC data for songs that are used in KTV/Karaoke. You just need to find a good data source for Spanish. In my opinion, listening to music and singing along in church helped my Chinese much more than textbooks. I still lack confidence speaking, but my listening improved a lot when my regular playlist became majority-Chinese (I listen to iTunes all day).
GPGPUs and CUDA have been used for predictive financial analysis for some time now, haven't they?
The linked article makes some very pertinent additional points (as well as offering a counter to Keating's claim that Hossenfelder was unfairly reviewing an uncorrected proof, though Hossenfelder herself makes a good case for that being a non-sequitur.) For example, there is the part about how they needed data from the Planck team, and tried to get it without saying what they were doing, which is how they ended up scraping data, that they apparently did not fully understand, off a presentation slide.
You're not wrong, but if you're going to put political effort into avoiding collateral damage from bursting bubbles, crypto is not the place to start.

We're currently squeezing residents out of houses to turn them into airbnb's, replacing shops that the locals actually use with dozens of identical puffin stores selling tourist tat and bulldozing sustainable local business so we can replace them with hotels.

All this to service a tourism industry that is actually too large to handle. We've got tourists pooping in fields because no one has organised toilets for them to use. The toilets aren't there because no one is paying for them because the tourism industry is getting massive tax breaks, and yet despite this, Iceland is now so expensive to stay at that people are booking in Norway, because it's actually /cheaper/ to holiday there.

But this is apparently not a bubble and all good investment, just like the banking was I guess.

Seriously, when it comes to problems in Iceland, crypto mining isn't even on the map.
Dell XPS range are the only non-Mac laptop that comes close on touchpad quality.
Update: Apparently Spanner is way slower than I thought in "slow" datacenters, doing a round trip for every transactional read. So this would absolutely stomp that. (Although spanner, as a higher level system, has the ability to move different data to be fast in different regions built in, which is nice, and as I said it will probably have to be a layer feature in the fdb world)
I’d agree you could deconstruct the comment in such a way, but that doesn’t speak to its merit.

Couldn’t your own comment also be deconstructed? Every valid irony or hypocrisy has an underlying mechanism by which it operates yet implies something no less ironic or hypocritical?

Labor unions depend on laws that inhibit the contract freedom of employers for the above-market wages they fetch their members.

They're rent-seeking organizations where the benefits concentrate to their members, while their costs diffuse widely across the general population.

For these reasons, I suspect being a part of a union is a significantly larger source of bias than not being part of one, and that's roughly what Public Choice Theory on special interests would predict.
Your example of nested functions with default arguments does not correspond to what derived implicits do. As a result of implicit resolution, an expression with an arbitrary number of subexpressions may be synthesized, the shape of which depends on the types involves. Default parameters simply cannot do that.

The example you give to justify "recursion is quite restricted" is not a restriction on recursion at all, it's an ambiguity problem. Define `a` as `y` to shadow the function parameter, and it compiles.
Yes. Agreed.

Look at 2007 / 2008. Wall Street nearly crash the world economy to the ground. Ecnomists estimated it cause deaths into the thousands. (30k or 300k come to mind but I can't find the reference atm.) The Obama admin for all intents and purposes pardoned Wall Street. Yet Obama is hailed as a liberal, a hero, and one of our greatest ever.

I have to believe Orwell is bewildered.
We can literally sweep platinum off our highways, as Cody'sLab demonstrates[0]. Platinum is a catalyst in auto mufflers to change NOx molecules back to N2 and CO2. And a tiny amount flakes off as a gas-car drives. Sweeping a 10-foot section of heavily-used freeway shoulder netted them $0.55 of platinum. At this rate, there should be $1000 of platinum per mile of freeway shoulder.

All of this is clear to me and pretty obvious. My point was that the following paragraph from GGP is contradictory:

> There is no limit to how much money it can spend. Any discussion of budgets at that level in terms of deficits etc. is completely flawed, and not just because a lot of politicians are extremely hypocritical about it, but because it just makes no sense in terms of economics and finance.

> When thinking about the spending and taxation of a monetarily sovereign governments, the only real constraint is inflation.

Custom moderator automation would be a very valuable tool, bots are terrible at beating bespoke solutions.

The opposite is true, despite Google having lobbied during the drafting. The entire premise of how google makes money conflicts with GDPR.
Triplebyte (YC S15) Is Hiring for General Management, Lead Designer and Others
Hi

I'm a 2x Founder, serial entrepreneur and growth strategist. I founded and exited online tuxedo rental company SimpleTux before starting my second venture, Renly, an Airbnb for commercial business space, where I am currently CEO. Additionally, I've led growth at a number of startups, including alumni from such prestigious programs as Y Combinator and Techstars. My speciality is growth hacking. I'm sure I can help and would love to set aside a time for us to discuss your goals and how we can accomplish them together. See my startup resume at www.chrissheng.com

While every company's growth hack is different due to the product/service and marketing mix, the method to discovering that hack is the same. It's an incredible amount of testing, the ability to come up with a never ending source of creative content and channels, benchmarking and optimizing. It takes discipline to stay the course and set the variables. Usually a growth hacker is either really good at analytics or creative, I pride myself on being strong in both.

Look forward to connecting.

A hedge fund backs research into GPUs because they may deal in finance and GPUs can be used for financial analysis?

Not a chance. This has nothing to do with their IT department or back office requirements.
you teach journalism classes and you don't see how your diction frames what happened in a way that either confirms your own biases or furthers your own agenda (proving swrobel was in the wrong). "snide comment", "bizarre rant", "asanine[sic]".

there's nothing bizarre or ranty or asinine about swrobel comments. it was venting at a poorly documented API - he admitted as much. is that the most professional thing to do? sure maybe not - but it's not cavalier banter about slavery either. and how about I flip it on you: how about a little empathy for him? if you want contribute to open source this is exactly the kind of empathy you need to have: will this choice make my API consumers miserable.

the apology is very clearly delineated from his comment on the coc.

"Sorry man, I was really annoyed because I was late to this party. I apologize for venting here."

it's very clear and unequivocal.

yes his citation of the coc included a sarcastic smiley. I've already said this: God forbid. reread his response without it. is it still snide? I suspect no.

finally getting back to indirect being unable to take the implicit criticism in stride: if you want to contribute to open source (really anything in public space) you have to be comfortable with criticism. swrobel didn't attack indirect personally (e.g. "you're such a dummy for this design choice") he criticized the choice. that's fine even if it was 6 months after it was fixed (because your mistakes will always be yours - they don't magically get stricken from the record after 6 months). if you are afraid that people will be upset with you for making mistakes then don't make things for people.
Interesting. Tried it on some very simple example text and it seems well-executed. I'm intrigued by the concept of chatting to write. I wonder if the medium can stimulate thoughts in a way a traditional text editor can't.

Great work, and good luck!
The situation is nothing new. I am from Bangalore and often hear a well known anecdote about Mysore, a large historically rich city about 100 km from Bangalore. I hear it from people of my parents' generation, so it must be the 60s. Its invariably said in a humorous tone.

The 10th year of school is a very important stage, transitioning to university, and the exam has always been stress inducing. On the day of the result, there were policemen guarding a lake called kukkarahalli kere in order to stop students who failed from committing suicide.
The charge rate on electric vehicles is very slow, though, unless you're using one of Tesla's superchargers (which aren't everywhere).

I think that, when people are worrying about charge time, they're really asking, "Will charge times mean that a 5-hour trip to visit Mom and Dad now turns into a 10-hour trip, or, worse, something that requires an overnight stay?"
