It seemed to me the author had a clear problem and objective. That the import process has to take place outside of business hours because of it's memory usage. So wasn't reducing memory exactly the goal here? And doesn't reducing it then make it possible to do the import during business hours? (Which is arguably, far more instantaneous to users than "thanks, we'll process this tonight when we have memory available".)

Knowing nothing about Monix, I had heard its reputation that it was a simpler alternative to akka-streams. I had heard this mainly from people that dislike Akka in general. But skimming this, Monix and ZIO strike me as lower level and harder to deal with than Akka (or Akka Typed).
This pushes the acceptance much further.

Hah, so true.
Or you rewrite it to be more flexible and seriously think about what if's eg what if sales tax was changed in the middle of a month/billing period.

This is a real example at one job in the UK on budget day I used to listen the budget speech live in case it had any impact on the system I worked on.
A few reasons come to mind:

- landgrab. You're very unlikely to have more than one smart speaker system in your phone, so once you've got an Alexa, you'll probably pick up some Alexa Dots rather than get a Google Home. This applies to an entire household in the way that even cellphone choices don't.

- lock-in. The web is all pesky and open, whereas these voice interface platforms are perfectly locked in for ultimate profit. And you can't get the web on them! Ideal.

>t's say this is a possibility for everyone. Let's say, despite high rents, everyone can save a certain amount each month. Let's say that every elementary school teacher can advance to being superintendent, and every automotive technician can eventually own his own shop or become a district manager of a chain.

I thought we were talking about people making 8$/hr.

An starting elementary teacher making 30k/yr or a tech making 40k/yr can save up for a downpayment.

If they didnt, we know they spent it on new cars, clothes, iphones, etc...

I have lived on 19k/yr for 2 people, its not only possible, but it seemed easy.
What exactly are you expecting to get "fixed"? You requested a ticket for a movie and didn't show up, potentially depriving someone else of seeing it then. I see no reason why CS should accommodate your request.
Seems more like a conspiracy theory than an interesting question to me.
Exactly. So if I'm a subscriber who goes to a lot of movies and don't have a specific partner who always goes with me, I'll be inclined to drag along various friends who might not otherwise have paid for a ticket and gone to the theater.
If something changed, it's nice for everyone else to be made aware as well. I had noticed the same thing.

Isn't an associative table the better option here? It would take a lot of the headaches out of dealing with arrays and constraints (ie, duplicates, limits on relationships) while keeping joins simple.
Nothing special about it: you have an array in your code and you store it as an array in the database without having to split it into records. I've been using it in a Django project for a model field of type array of strings. There is a django.contrib.postgres.fields.ArrayField for that.

A caveat: I used it only for small arrays (about 10 elements maximum.) I don't know how the ORM/driver/database combination would perform with thousands or more elements.
Want to bet it was structured as six 8-month contracts to dodge some legal requirement that you provide extra benefits to any contractor retained for three or more whole quarters? ;)
I find inheritance vs. composition to be much less an issue in RDBMSes vs. OOP languages. The problem with inheritance in OOP is that you inherit the code, but not the data (at least, it is supposed to be hidden). This results in overly tight coupling between your class and the other class that you just need a piece of and (I find) is almost never what you want (rather preferring composition and interfaces).

Whereas in an RDBMS, there is no "code" attached to a relation; and the data is explicitly exposed. Inheritance starts to look more like the typical pattern of structure with common fields at the top level, and disjoint fields inside a discriminated union. You can mirror this with RDBMS composition (foreign keys), but you lose the ability to enforce even basic structural constraints (tricks like mutually-referential foreign keys notwithstanding).
Yeah, it seems like more and more people are delaying kids until it’s “now or never” scenario. Not good. Have kids as early as possible because of the work and energy involved.

The environment in 1965 was completely different. It really would not have been easy to say we will not get to the moon in 1965, because there were strong suspicions that the Russians were already there. (And if they weren't, there were even stronger suspicions that they soon would be.) If you lived through the cold war, I'm probably triggering those memories for you right now. It was very much a time when the thinking was that it had to be done. (Right or wrong, that was the thinking, and those were the suspicions that existed.)

Besides, in 1965 Block 1 Apollo CSM was already built and being fitted for AS-201. (Apollo 1-A)
There's something a little sad about this. Unlike at home, hotels are a place where you already have a voice assistant - the concierge, that'll give you restaurant recommendations, pick up your laundry and call a cab for you. And do a much better job than any automated voice assistant will do. But I don't doubt for a second that this will eventually be paired with a strong rollback of real humans manning phone lines.

Sigh.

I guess anything Ruby is old news on HN
There is no right answer. I fake being happy for fear of being fired. I tried to contribute and help and was told to focus on my work, which is meaningless engineering with no purpose. I have resigned myself to get in on time and sit and stare at the screen. I try to get things done but it is a moving target. The people who thrive here engage in side channel communications, I am mostly unwilling to do that because I believe in public communication. I wish I did not believe in a free and open society as we are tending towards some form human/machine authoritarianism and my views are going to be punished. Keep your heads down and accumulate resources seems to be the best advice.
No, because there's one in my pocket.

The transformation from cubemap to equirectangular projection seems unnecessary. Why convert? There's support for cubemap textures on modern hardware, and having a seperate video stream per face would make culling them easy. It wouldn't be as fine-grained as Carmack's end result, but it would be simple and avoids resampling.
I understand that the Dow is not a very good index to follow if one wants a gauge of how the market is behaving. It is still reported in the media due to its long existence and name recognition. But one would think they would include at least one of the FAANG stocks in the index. Maybe they are taking the longer view and are not interested in these huge new fanged companies, but adding Walgreens instead of Amazon to give retail more exposure in the index seems a bit silly to me.
Friendly reminder about the time Marriott fired customer support employee to get back in China's good books

https://work.qz.com/1220881/marriott-hotels-fired-an-hourly-...
Well, remember, we work in an industry managed by people who are convinced that programmers spend all their time browsing facebook and playing fortnight and develop "give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you right now" methodologies like Scrum and "always looking over your shoulder" open offices. Working slowly, deliberately, and safely is indistinguishable from slacking to people who do nothing except look for slacking.

Robinhood in Talks with Regulators to Offer Bank Products
That's in there as well, though certainly not as refined as it is in Qt's QML. https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest/blob/master/qml/Val... shows one example of having a callback when a property is changed ( defined at https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest/blob/master/qml/Wid... ).

Elsewhere in the codebase you'll see whenEvent style callbacks https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest/blob/master/qml/Val...

Most of the events, however, are handled through more traditional methods as that ended up being more comfortable when scaling to a larger program.
>The need for nested functions bugged me as well. That seems like an odd deal-breaker and hints at code smell

Nested functions were a very common pattern on languages like Pascal, Modula or oberon. They are equivalent to code blocks inside a function in C.

In my cynicism I think it would actually increase total sugar consumption (who's going to keep track of how many packets they're having) , Only putting in 1/2 the normal sugar rounds down to 0 in the mind and means "I put less in, therefore I can have 4 cokes a day) ....

Just curious what makes them any more "intellectually challenging" than any other processor/processor family. I can see that flipping to a DSP might be a little different, maybe, but the MPS series is just another MCU. Thoughts?

It is not referring to the external artifacts of a marketing strategy, like ad purchases or the design of packaging or something.

It's talking about the internal "PR" role that marketing plays in its interface between management and the employees. Think about the huge product launch events that big tech companies produce. It's as much about creating external publicity or buzz as it is about generating conformity among the staff in terms of what the company line is going to be. As a result, it also boils down to a lot of emotional labor on behalf of PR staff "selling" the vision of the management to the rest of the staff, despite the fact that management's "vision" will be represented with vague, imprecise symbols that allow management to later on morph things around in whatever way suits them.

Incidentally, I think it's also the biggest reason why internal prediction markets are not adopted. Despite evidence that they improve product delivery metrics and tangible financial metrics of project success, it makes the evaluation of project success so quantitative that managers lose their ability to manipulate, tell stories, argue for bonuses, argue that they were stopped by internal politics, etc. etc. Telling those stories is so valuable to middle and upper management that it is worth more than increased raw success of the company overall. Essentially, they want the company overall to be slightly worse off if it gives them manipulable tactics for entrenching their personal job security or bonus or whatever.

The Lisbon treaty is NOT the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. This is a common falsehood.

You really think all the woes fb is going through now, from being too loose with data, is on the same level as managing criticism from being too tight?

TALKING to people is impossible when the people are in the large millions and even billions, and you are a corporate entity. You are just not going to get thousands of staff to communicate a consistent intelligent message and philosophy, across many hundreds of cultures. It's a good problem to look at if it would improve the bottom line. It won't.

I'm really happy that they open sourced their core code! That's an awesome thing for a company that's making money from this code to do. I know they've had some issues going from 1.x to 2.x (see other comments) but this is a really brave step for them to take and I want to applaud them for moving to an open source model for a portion of their paid product. I hope this helps them turn around their 2.x version.

You only get to decide what's the best system for you.

But that's not even the point behind my criticizing your approach. People with non-mainstream lifestyles are already more often than not marginalized, sometimes to death. Please don't make that worse for them. You have no idea how alienating it can be to have something as closely tied to one's identity as one's sexuality generally is hand-waved about by people whose words carry clear disapproval.

If you did have an inkling of what that kind of Othering felt like, I don't think you'd talk that way so casually, or without qualification.
Scary to learn that Tesla's problems are so bad that they're pinning all their execution issues on a single employee who wasn't even around for most of them.

Edit: As someone else wondered...why does this guy even have the access to the systems necessary to have allegedly carry out these purported acts of sabotage? Is Tesla's security that lax? Why wasn't this detected immediately? What else does this say about their inability to control their own internal processes?

Edit 2: Deleted first paragraph. Turns out that Musk accused this employee of sabotage predating the employee's employment but Tesla isn't suing him for it.
