Not sure how OP's product is different, but MTR's food is not good at all. Even assuming that a $2.50 pack is enough for you (I find that I need two at most times for my regular hunger), it's not good to eat at all. I usually reserve it for national park trips only (the convenience of popping the pack into boiling water or into the microwave for 2 mins is unbeatable).

As far as authenticity goes, most of their stuff isn't. I would actually put them in the "very very bad attempt" category. But it could just represent the food of local area where they started (and that's not really acceptable, given that they make a wide range of stuff).

This is what happens when you use a HTTP GET to perform an "unsafe" action. HTTP GET links should always be safe to crawl... Always... It's in the spec for a reason.

Seen people make mistakes like this before... Even using a POST when it should be a GET can cause funny behavior. Funny, but not dangerous behavior like using GET instead of POST.

Whenever I bring a new web dev aboard this is my first lesson to them, and I say "all sorts of clients are going to crawl your webapp, so make sure your webapp is coded correctly for it." Browsers are coded with this assumption, bots/crawlers, email clients, etc...

Part of this seems founded on serving content based on what people do versus what they say. In the case of the video shown, they said they were interested in recipes, yet didn't bother to pin anything for recipes. From the standpoint of the algorithm, they must not be very interested in recipes, no matter what they claim.

Good or bad, this 'actions speak louder than words' approach isn't merely a social media thing. "Oh, the politician says they are for good thing, but they voted against the Bill for Good Thing." That is regardless of context, too.

I don't know whether they have this feature, but it seems to me this could be mostly addressed with a 'Less of this' button.

With a feedback mechanism, even if someone manages to inject an unrelated meme into a given demographic profile, those memes could be weeded out by a subset of those people who are just trying to keep their view the way they want it.
To add some context: NZ regularly rates in the top 10 least affordable cities to buy a house. The last stat I saw was that median house prices were 9.7x median salary.

That’s absurd for a relatively small city of 1.4m people.

It has further negative effects: everyone gets into property as their only real path to financial freedom, with 95% of new loans using family financial assistance. It’s stifling innovation and business that could be providing employment and international business.
The collision rate (percentage of attempted transactions that failed due to a page-level locking conflict) in all tests was between 1 and 2%. Failed transactions are not included in the TPS counts below.

I read this as: retry logic required. That's a bit onerous IMO. Wrapping a single writer in a mutex gives near rw=1 performance in the cases I tested.

You realize you don't need input field for file input in any of the modern browsers. Just capture the click event and create input field temporarily.

let i = document.createElement('input');
i.type = 'file';
// other attributes if you like
i.onselect = ev => {
// ev.files contains selected files
};
i.click();
i.remove();

No stupid styling hacks needed. At most you may need tabIndex on the <a> or <div> that represents the button for selecting files.

You can leave <input type=file> around if you want to submit data via <form> and not via XHR.

>What is the way to create indexes after data migration?

You can migrate the data and then do the normal PostgreSQL `CREATE INDEX` syntax to create the indexes on the hypertable. It's not an option to create_hypertable or anything, but that's how you would achieve it.
Didn't Google and Facebook just recently team up to produce something similar? It'll be interesting to see what catches on. Efficient data transfer for machine learning applications is really important, especially if your computation is distributed and/or your data is really big (or you need really low latency, etc).
I never heard anything like this either, and in fact my own experience was opposite that of the author's: the precision emphasized in law school simply adds an additional dimension to the enjoyment of prose (or, once in a great while, poetry).

The whole idea that "thinking like a lawyer" should mean you forget how to enjoy reading and writing reminds me of Keats' claim that Newton destroyed the rainbow by explaining it. It's unfortunate that the author had such a bad experience with the law - but this is either strikingly bad pedagogy or simply a poor match with her specific personality, and shouldn't be taken as a reflection on the practice of law itself.
Its way more complicated than that.

In the old days, artists would change the scenes to match the technology. If human skin couldn't be rendered well, you just showed off plastic and metals. Or, they'd make a "cartoony style" and hope that the audience would get used to the plastic barbie-looking skin.

Or in the case of Toy Story: you just make a story revolve around plastic toys. Plastic looks good, remember, in 90s CGI. As long as actually humans are rare, the movie will look "realistic".

But you can't just keep making movies about Toys with plastic-like skin. And improving the algorithms to have realistic skin requires harder calculations such as "subsurface scattering".

Today, artists want to show off more materials, and they also want all those materials to be more believable. Pixar is insane with their details: they spent two years on creating the "Hank the Octopus" in "Finding Dory". And it shows: good reflections off the skin highlight the wetness of the Octopus, Hank walks and moves very much like a real octopus, etc. etc.

-----------------

In short: there are some materials which don't require much processor time. You probably can get away with a toy-story like plastic look and feel with 10 samples per pixel (talking 90s era here, where things were still relatively flat and primitive).

But if you want to create a CGI Grand Moff Tarkin in an otherwise live-action movie (Star Wars: Rogue One)... you'll need to do better than that. These scenes will naturally require 100s or 10,000 even samples before the human eye is tricked.
> Everyone who implemented it used SQLite

They had to, since what was standardized was specifically the SQL dialect of SQLite v3.6.19.

> No browser makers stepped up to reduce the quality of their implementation by replacing some of the best designed, best written, best tested code on the planet with some other SQL back end to satisfy the committee

There were only two implementations at all: WebKit and Opera. Mozilla and Microsoft weren't going to implement it without a spec decoupled from particular backend.
> Software actually is unique in this respect, because it doesn't work if it's not complete.

This is a point that really ought to be more broadly recognized.
It's a pervasive issue throughout software development, and while the situation is improving I'm not convinced that's about any kind of improved design. It mostly seems to be a function of delivery mechanisms which can circumvent the problem - internet delivery of patches, automatic updating, and remote hosting of apps have all lowered the bar on "good enough to ship". The most obvious example is almost certainly video game development: planning and labor conditions haven't substantially improved, but the prevalence death-march development has been made much better by the ability to gracefully patch games after release.

"You can't ship a partial product" isn't universally true, of course, but building projects which can be shipped while incomplete requires planning for that option from the beginning, and has real tradeoffs. In general, software planning seems to either ignore this issue entirely and go vastly over schedule, or propose some agile/lean/extreme 'iterative' process without paying any attention to the requirements and costs of that approach.

Imagine telling a construction firm that you want a two-story 'minimum viable building' that you can work in while they add the remaining stories if things run over schedule. If they didn't refuse outright, they'd charge you double and design the entire process around that condition.

Actually, that metaphor seems like a pretty useful one. Both fields involve developing something which can't be delivered at intermediate stages, where iterative never-broken development is slower and more difficult, and where both unforseen (e.g. unmarked water main) and unforseeable (e.g. storm damage) problems can arise throughout development. And, consequently, both have a well-earned reputation for late, overbudget deliveries.

I couldn't find it because from memory I was googling 'feynman furry'. The keywords are 'feynman "grow hairs"'. From his book called "Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman":

"I can't understand anything in general unless I'm carrying along in my mind a specific example and watching it go. Some people think in the beginning that I'm kind of slow and I don't understand the problem, because I ask a lot of these "dumb" questions: "Is a cathode plus or minus? Is an an-ion this way, or that way?" But later, when the guy's in the middle of a bunch of equations, he'll say something and I'll say, "Wait a minute! There’s an error! That can't be right!" The guy looks at his equations, and sure enough, after a while, he finds the mistake and wonders, "How the hell did this guy, who hardly understood at the beginning, find that mistake in the mess of all these equations?" He thinks I'm following the steps mathematically, but that's not what I'm doing. I have the specific, physical example of what he's trying to analyze, and I know from instinct and experience the properties of the thing. So when the equation says it should behave so-and-so, and I know that's the wrong way around, I jump up and say, "Wait! There’s a mistake!"

Also from the same book:

"I had a scheme, which I still use today when somebody is explaining something that I'm trying to understand: I keep making up examples. For instance, the mathematicians would come in with a terrific theorem, and they're all excited. As they're telling me the conditions of the theorem, I construct something which fits all the conditions. You know, you have a set (one ball) – disjoint (two balls). Then the balls turn colors, grow hairs, or whatever, in my head as they put more conditions on. Finally they state the theorem, which is some dumb thing about the ball which isn't true for my hairy green ball thing, so I say, 'False!'"

Or we should accept that there's no magic get-out-of-moral-obligations card issued to them when they become agents of a business?

There's this weird rationalization that somehow a person becomes immune to moral considerations when they accept a job as a corporate executive.

I don't that's true. And I don't think most businessmen think that's true either. I'm pretty sure Warren Buffet doesn't think that's true.
I'm sorry, but there are some things worth knowing that simply cannot be distilled down to pithy slogans, and if you want to understand them you are going to have to do some work. If you're not willing to do that, well, that is really no concern of mine.
Eggs I eat 3 whites and two full. But yes it gets very boring (the eggs, milk a little less). I have to gain weight for gym though. Soon will get a cook and try to lower eggs/milk.
How is that ironic? It sounds like the problem was self-inflicted.
Corporations are also owned by people. You get around this by making the law look at the entire ownership graph and seeing the total percentages from that.
Yep, I know of several people who have done it when down on their luck. Beats sleeping under a bridge.
Yeah, and the throughput of HT threads on an already busy core was not that high, last I checked.
Unfortunately the belief is false, since it is easily demonstrated that an old luxury building has such high HOA fees to account for the increased needs in maintenance and upkeep that it is anything but affordable.

Inevitably the costs for the building's aging infrastructure upkeep will be pushed on its residents, so the costs going forward (aka the esoteric 'tomorrow') are unlikely to down if at all.
With select/poll, you have to write your own dispatcher, which means you have to care about details like whether you need round-robin to prevent early things in your fdset stopping later things being processed, etc. Also, many of the things you'd like to wait on aren't file descriptors, so you have to do extra work to make them fit. My bugbear for this is pthread condition variables, but it's also true of most GUI toolkits, which expect you to use some variation of while(Toolkit_GetEvent(&event)). You can work around these, of course, it's just mildly annoying extra work.
I think this is a trend in most big organizations. In my company we also have a host of business analysts, project managers, architects and line managers. Then you have some random people who pop up with big titles where you don't even know what they are doing. They spend endless hours reporting to each other, evaluating options and making sure that the few people who do something stay under control.

A lot of projects have more management than people who actually implement something.

Seems unlikely there will be tenth amendment problems. It's pretty hard to do over a billion dollars in revenue without operating across state lines.
I'd hazard to say that every design is "flawed" in some regards: there's no way to achieve all desirable qualities and none of undesirable qualities. For one, some desirable qualities contradict each other.

So "${thing} is flawed" is not precise enough; an interesting statement would be "${thing} is not the best choice for ${conditions}". A monolithic OS is not the best choice for a high-reliability system on unreliable hardware. A microkernel OS that widely uses hardware memory protection is not the best choice for a controller with 4KB of RAM. A unikernel setup is not the best choice for a desktop system where the user is expected to constantly install new software. Etc, etc.

In other words, the ancient concept of "right tool for the job" still applies.
I tried doing something very similar to this. It ended up being so draining I couldn't do it long-term.

Specifically, I was in Washington DC and the startup I wanted to work for was in San Jose. My then-girlfriend (now fiancé) has the kind of job that can only be done in DC. I agreed to fly out for a week every month or so and work remotely the rest of the time. I did it for a little over a year but the travel wore me out and I struggled to find a healthy routine working from home.

I see threads like this and think that the solution to this problem has to be more remote work. I just wish I could be one of the people for whom it works as well in practice as it does in theory.
You are using this particular branch in production, deployed as you mention, or sqlite in general? Some more info about this use case would be very interesting if you can share!

> “Most people won’t even know they’re being scanned, so there’s no risk of them missing their train service on a daily basis,” he said.

This technology has been in development for 15 years, and the latest and greatest is point and shoot scanning as people walk by.

So in 10-20 years, are these built into the wall at the top of the escalator leading into every major metro station in the world? Plugged into an AI for analysis? Dispatching drones to contain perceived threats?

I think this is one of the absolute least effective ways to be spending public safety dollars, is it not?
This seems like you are working off of TastyBite's playbook:

Tasty bite tastes decent, takes 60-90 seconds to heat up, and costs about $3/package with no need for refrigeration.

The problem is when rich investors buy properties to hold, but don't actually rent them out to people. This in turn reduces the number of apartments available to the people that need them, and just drives prices artificially upwards.

Hmmm. I understand why you say that - alas, yes in the political environment experts are cast negatively.

In the above context, I'm talking about the people we hire to do the things that need to get done to move a business forward - we hire them for their expertise and skills.

When I'm talking about the people I've hired - to management, peers in other groups etc - I refer to them as "the experts who are building the ________, tasked with accomplishing ________" and so on. It reminds people that they're here for a reason - to contibute ..and not here by random coincidence.
I don't care about the date on this, it was always true, and will always be true.

Take the time to read this and evaluate how you interact with others. Be honest about yourself, and your effectiveness in how you work with them.

If you choose to dismiss this, do so in full knowledge of what you are doing. That's a choice, and you can make it.

Personally, I choose to be kind whenever I can. I don't always succeed, but I try.
Wow, this piece was powerful and unexpectedly emotional. Really puts into perspective adversity and hope.
Well, prior to the 1600's, it was the dominant economy on the planet, and then during the mid-later Qing Dynasty, there was the critical leadership error in not sufficiently investing in the military instead of investing everything in economic growth.

As a result, China was invaded over and over again by colonizers who levied punitive fines for losing the war. And then there were a series of revolutions. (I know, I was born in a part of Shanghai that's commonly called "the French Concession.") The Bolsheviks were the first to give a bunch of that money back ... maybe because they wanted an ally or because they had a conscience.

Oh, also the Versailles Treaty, which ended WW I, involved a clause that gave Shandong province to Japan (from German control), which caused students to take to the streets in protest against the KMT who ratified it, the political party that eventually lost popular support and went to Taiwan and prevented the international community from recognizing the CCP's government as official China because the KMT maintained that they're the official China.

Is that what you're referring to?
Given that:

- there are strict laws about what surveillance video can be used for

- surveillance video is rarely abused

- people with video cameras are a whole lot more likely to upload me to youtube and facebook (where I'll stay forever, possibly with nasty comments both by the uploader and commenters)

- while surveillance video will most likely be deleted within 14 days or 3 months or something

I'll happily

- take 10 surveillance cameras

- over one random person pointing filming me

- today

That said, I think there might be too much surveillance. And it might be dangerous in the future.

The person who wants to make a funny video with me is however a more imminent threat.

Thank you, really happy you like our website and product! There's a few key differences between our products and the existing Indian-based products which I've called out in a different response.

That's a good point about the target market. There's definitely a sizable portion of immigrants who continue to cook from scratch. There's also an emerging part of the market who are first/second-generation and don't cook at home as often -- either because they don't know how, don't have all the ingredients on hand, or don't have the time/patience. We are aiming to serve this population, and also be a nice-to-have for the former group of people!

That is a great call out on the Upma and a mistake on our end (that we accidentally added last night!). We will fix this immediately. I also really like your feedback about putting all the ingredients and nutritional information on a single page. Thank you!

The angelic recipe is the shortest recipe that produces the thing. So, if something has an angelic recipe of 1000 lines, it cannot be produced by any shorter recipe.

The problem with the Innovator is it creates a large collection of objects that must in aggregate have a larger angelic recipe than the Innovator.

The part that might be confusing is the second step of running the Innovator to produce the collection. But this would just be one more step added to the Innovator's recipe.

Hi @neslinesli93, it's quite easy:

(1) Call create_hypertable with default indexes off (include an argument of `create_default_indexes => FALSE`) [1]

(2) Then just use a standard CREATE INDEX command on the hypertable at any time. B-Tree, hash index, GIN/Gist, single key, composite keys, etc. This DDL command will propagate to any existing chunks (and create them) and will be remembered to so any future chunks that are automatically created will also have these indexes [2]

This article just sounds like celebration of a power imbalance. To me, reading articles like this push me further from viewing social movements as noble search for equality but instead a gendered focus on gaining power compared to men.
