This culture, while nice, cannot scale

I can't say that I agree with you.

I have a history of joining forums, watching them grow dramatically while I'm there, leaving and watching them become a shell of their former selves afterwards. I spent some years feeling like a forum killer and afraid of the power I appeared to wield, but didn't understand and didn't feel in control of.

I have not played such a central role on HN. But it is quite clear in my mind that the right cultural practices are critical to making a large forum live and breathe at all. Because if they are enforced by only one person and that person walks out the door, the forum collapses in upon itself and traffic shrinks to a level that can be sustained by the cultural practices that remain.

I think this is a battle worth fighting. Merely agreeing with your point of view and throwing in the towel guarantees defeat.
So your argument is that you need your car because you don't live in a place that is designed for humans, so we shouldn't change cities to be less car dependent?

> I'm not sure what this means... You mean like the propensity of web apps to open non-native modals?

There is a reason why it is called Look and Feel, not just Look.

You can make them Look as close as possible with looks of CSS work, or even canvas drawing, but they don't Feel like native widgets.

> This is completely overcome-able with sustained effort, and appropriate sharing. Flutter literally decided to draw every single pixel on the screen and was able to do it, CSS styling is easier in comparison.

Drawing pixels is only half way there to how native widgets interact between each other, or even basic stuff like dragging content between them, in different applications.

If we take the web part of it, on native rendering side, HTML/CSS are not as powerful as native rendering. For example the visual layer in Windows 10, animations engine in iOS and Android.

HTML/CSS is kind of ok, if one only cares about CRUD applications.

Right, just using the plain gmaps tiles in a Leaflet tile layer is against the google TOS. But there is a Leaflet plugin that puts the whole google map component in a TOS-compliant way as a layer into leaflet and keeps both in sync with DOM observers. Sounds pretty weird but works perfectly in production.

> I can run to my local 24/7 grocer or Walmart and be back in 10 minutes flat.

> We were at the hospital in 15 minutes thanks to the modern automobile.

If you live within 3 minutes of a Walmart (3 minutes traveling there, 3 minutes checking out, and 3 minutes returning) and 15 minutes of a hospital you are significantly better located than the average suburbanite.

Most walkable urban areas will have 24 hour convenience stores every few blocks. Most walkable urban areas will have many options for quick travel to medical facilities (Zipcar like services, uber like services, frequent emergency clinics, ambulances).

I think cities have better access to medical care than suburban areas. There are more medical facilities. There are more options in choosing primary care. There are more specialist. There are more alternative treatment options. Try getting antibiotics for strep throat at 2am for less than $250 cash in less than ninety minutes in a suburb.

I wouldn’t say it is embarrassingly incorrect. Nothing in that article proves that the report I referenced is not a possibility.

I agree it makes it less likely because the files could have been copied multiple times which could change the metadata, but that doesn’t prove definitively that they were.
> But the other mapping services will very soon adjust their prices also. It makes no sense to be 10x cheaper than Google when 2x cheaper does the same.

There's a great deal of competition and that generally results in a race to the bottom. The market leader just removed themselves from the market and the best way to capitalize is stay low and build your userbase.

We won't see price changes by any of these companies. They all want to be #1.
I too lived the nightmare that was RQL... it was truly horrible.
Perth has a sickeningly low density of residents within the CBD, and as a result you can get some really good deals on apartments within a stones throw to the city. It's also got a pretty good 'small town' sort of atmosphere compared to other cities.

It's not exactly the most progressive of places, however. But personally I love it.

NB: I'm currently in the position of purchasing land in Perth and you can get some good sub-$200k deals on 350-400 square metre blocks within 20 minutes to the city too if you look around.
Would you say that most major cable providers now having gigabit offerings now wasn't at least partially pushed by the threat of Google Fiber? I mean, in an area Fiber never launched in now, two of the three ISPs here provide gigabit via coax now (Comcast and WOW), and I'm hard pressed to believe they would've jumped from ~150 Mbps service to gigabit service at about the same price if someone else wasn't threatening to do it first.

Sure, it took a while after Google Fiber launched, but there was a lot of infrastructure to deploy. I'd argue Google had a hand in this.

We've had similar bikes to the Bakfiets here in Denmark since 1929, the "Long John" as it was originally known. It's no surprise really, considering the very similar flatness of our countries, that bicycle culture is so big in both our countries.

Nowadays, I think people are more comfortable riding the three-wheeled cargo bikes, or Christiania Bikes, as they're commonly known.

You can transport a surprising amount of stuff on either type, especially the e-bike versions.

You may enjoy this video where a guy goes to Shenzen and tries to build an iPhone 6s from parts. He claims it cost $300. Technically he spent a little over $600 because he broke a lot of parts and bought the wrong parts in the process, but if everything went perfectly it would be about $300. I think this was created back when the 6s was the current model.

Also true, but there's a limit to how much nonsense you want to dump into GPOs. Most of what you throw in your Group Policy will inevitably end up sticking around for the next decade and a half long past its irrelevance, and regardless of whether you throw everything in one big GPO or have several dozen small GPOs, you will never remember where that stupid setting came from down the road.

So I'm hesitant to go overboard on custom registry entry pushes (as opposed to the standard templates) for things that only affect IT experience.

I'd be interested in seeing a language that can take full advantage of the architecture in Out of the Tarpit.

It's always touted as a must read paper but I haven't seen many inroads towards something truly Functional-Relational.

I don't think a new query language is the solution to the problem. SQL isn't that bad. Sure, for sanity, every language has a reimplementation of SQL syntax using whatever abstractions available. But even if you don't go SQL, you've got datalog.

A language being 40 to 50 years old doesn't make it a problem. I'm speaking English - that's been through 2000 years of iteration. I don't think that makes it a good candidate for a ground up rethink when so much thought by great thinkers has already gone into it.

I was not aware of Windows having had different console implementations in the past. Can you elaborate on that point? How did that come to pass?

Also,I am curious about one other thing: the Windows Console is notorious for having extremely bad perfomance when displaying lots of text. Last time I checked I could only get around 100 lines of text per second on Windows while Linux terminal emulations can show more than 10 times that amount. This may seem petty, but some programs are slowed down by this in practice. Can we expect improvements in that area as well?

Well, not alt right...

De-urbanization was spurred by housing shortages post-WW2 and federal policy seeking to stabilize the housing market. The FHA was created to insure home loans that met a long list of requirements[1], which had biases towards increasing consumption (including cars) and racial segregation. The marketing and growth of suburbia was then promoted by various business interests that would benefit from that increased consumption[2]. The new suburban lifestyle led to the rise of modern conservatism[3]. Most (~85% [3]) of the US lives in metropolitan areas, so rural lifestyles are not typical and it would be vastly less efficient if everyone lived there rather than in cities.

IMO light-seconds is actually a really nice unit for interplanetary distances. 1AU ~= 500ls. Not only is the scale nice for human arithmetic, but it serves a dual purpose of also telling you the light delay.
> The comment you are replying to specifically says that they didn't lie, and didn't have to.

They strongly implied that Mueller probably lied because they didn't have to tell the truth and no one could prove it.

I do have an agenda: Support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Unlike most natural born Americans, I take my Oath of Allegiance very seriously.

> One person pointed out some facts that you seem to not like, and you basically screamed and didn't even read the comment you were replying to.

Bingo: I don't like facts that are completely disconnected from reality. By definition, they're not facts.

If screaming means rejecting abject bullshit, I'll die happy.

I don't know what your definition of "never" is, but it can't possibly overlap with the English cognate.

It looks indeed a lot like graphite, and since you explicitly mention in your
talk that your objective is to reimplement all the functions that are present
in graphite, why no instead present your work as a port of the graphite
language, with some extension to work on other data sources and sinks (and dots
replaced by the fat pipe)?

This is interesting to me as I'm currently working on something close: a
lightweight stream processor to allow system engineers to manipulate some large
streams of data while in flight to a database. And I've been wondering (and
still am) about the trade-offs between simple and expressive. Very early, I
decided not to be TS specific at all (since we were prevented to use an
off-the-shelf product for that reason that our data does not look enough like a
TS -- not a single time nor a single value fields). Eventually, after a few
detours, we ended up favoring a SQL like language for that reason that it's
field agnostic.

Regarding the language itself, the main differences I can see are that you
query over a time range while we process infinite streams, with the consequence
that we must explicitly tells each operation when it has to output values
(windowing); the other is that you have an implicit key and one TS by "group"
with the same key, which makes piping many operations easier (but JOINing
harder), while we have to be more specific about how to group.

So for instance, where you have:

from(db:"foo") |> window(every:20s) |> sum()

we would have the more SQL-alike:

select sum value from foo group by time // 20

("//" being the integer division).

Or, if you needed the start and stop additional columns added by window():

select sum value, (time // 20)*20 AS start, start+20 AS stop group by start

But then, because fluxlang process a range of time while we stream "forever" we
would also have to tell when to output a tuple, for instance after 20s has
passed:

select sum value, (time // 20)*20 AS start, start+20 AS stop group by start commit after in.time > group.stop

which gets verbose quickly.

But to us this constraint imposed by streaming (as opposed to querying a DB for
the data to process) is essential since our main use case is alerting from a
single box, so querying every minute the last 10 minutes of data for thousands
of defined alerts would just not work.

Another interesting difference is the type system. One thing I both like and
hate in SQL is the NULL. It's convenient for missing data but it's also the
SQL equivalent of the null pointer. So we have a type system that looks closely
on it: we support this special case of algebraic data type that a "type?" is a
NULLable "type", and that NULLs must be dealt with before they reach a function
that does not accept NULLs. For instance, there is no way to compile a filter
which condition can be NULL, and one would have to COALESCE it first. What's
your thoughts about missing data? Do you manage to avoid the issue entirely,
including after a JOIN operation?

The other difference I noticed is how nice your query editor is. For now our
query editor is $EDITOR, but my plan is to build a data source plugin for
Grafana. What do you think of this approach?
I agree that the level found in the wine is inconsequential, but it's worth pointing out that studies of radiation workers have found that the linear no threshold model does a pretty reasonable job of explaining non-leukemia cancer risk, at least around the levels of radiation equivalent to, say, a multi-decade career as a flight attendant. Granted, the error bars are pretty big, and you have to get to levels equivalent to a trip to Mars for it to get appreciably above background.

TLDR: It's overenthusiastic to think the literature has concluded that low-level radiation is probably good for you, but good experiments are hard.

Even in business, charging less is a sticky problem. It's next to impossible to raise your rates with a client base you've built up without alienating many of them. Because you've charged so low, you can't afford to drop any of them yet. Unfortunately, a lot of business can be through referral and they talk about rates too.

It can leave you in a hole that's next to impossible to get out of.
I’d say 97%+ is either DGAF, forgetting, emergencies or needs a fire under their posterior. In that 3% though are outliers like sales clerk fabricating a story and SWATing/making-up an unspecified allegation against you because they didn’t like “losing” when it came to them inventing roadblocks to complete a routine retail return. Because they’re a chick, nothing happens to them for you being interrogated at gunpoint and possibly arrested or shot by a six-pack of the fearful blue mafia, it’s all good.

Exactly, owning a car doesn't actually oblige you to use it every day. I also have two garaged cars (a sports coupe and an economical diesel estate), located within a 30 minute walking distance from my home, because parking space is scarce. I use the estate for long trips and the coupe for short weekend trips. While driving, I enjoy every bit of it. I also enjoy keeping both cars in top shape. During the week, I solely walk and the temptation to use the cars is reduced because of the long distance to the garage.

I'm the dir. of eng. for the team building flux. Before that, I built a transactional SQL system (during peak NoSQL hype). I like SQL.

After a year+ of watching people use InfluxQL and thinking about the types of user experiences that timeseries specific platforms can offer - I'm eager to see flux enter the world.

People like exploratory and notebook like environments. Building a language that integrates with those workflows and even supports a REPL for writing queries is a nice fit to this space.

InfluxDB chooses a non-relational data model. Timeseries queries almost all filter on terms, partition, window, group - and then apply a sequence of functions to those groups. Most queries end up using SQL analytic functions that many users aren't experienced using... while mapping a only vaguely-relational (and very non-normalized) data model to boot.

The timeseries space is visual - visual tooling really matters. SQL isn't an easy fit there, either. It is hard to write SQL incrementally or to interpret just part of a SQL query to show intermediate results. Additionally, users expect a large set of non-standard SQL functions to be builtin.

There are competing systems betting explicitly on SQL and others choosing a functional approach, a strong competition of ideas and practices which should be a win for end-users.

(And to correct the above comment, flux expresses select, project, and join operators.)
This is great,

I wish there was more technical discussion of the hack and the indicment. Due to the political nature of the case nearly everything written is extremely partisan. However there is actually quite a bit of "source material" out there: The indicment, the crowdstrike analysis, the published hacked data, the bitcoin blockchain. Which could use some cold headed technical analysis.

Due to the nature of the case the FBI seems to have thrown more resources after the investigation than they normally would do. One thing I notice is section 41 in the indicment.

As I am understanding this, the perpetrator, strugling to formulate the contents of the wordpress site he would publish the day after, was typing in phrases into Google (presumely) under that later would occur on the Guccifer 2.0-site.
