I've seen that part of the Google listing, which is part of the reason why I made the suggestion. Google shouldn't just go by raw traffic, however. Traffic means different things at different times to different kinds of venues. High traffic at the DMV doesn't mean it's an awesome place. A line of 20 people means one thing to a sit down restaurant and something very different to a Boba tea place.

I suspect that AI applied here would be highly useful.
They used to be MUCH bigger.
I meant "most people on this thread", which is the context GP was invoking:

> I can't relate to the negativity I see here.

And yes, Yelp calculated that they could get away with their shady money-grabbing since they had no competition.

Very clever, but like most dishonest behaviors - quite short sighted.

As soon as a competitor emerged, Yelp was unceremoniously ditched.

Also worth mentioning: you didn't have to be aware of their past misdeeds to be affected by the resulting rating distortions, which are still affecting users to this day.
For most people "people who look nothing like me" is the opposite sex.

I don't rely on the rankings to find the "best" I just use reviews as a basic litmus test if it is terrible or not. I am basically just looking to avoid getting food poisoning or eating somewhere with terrible service, stuff like that -- I'll try most everything at least once. You have to be pretty consistently terrible to have something like under 3 stars, so that's my cutoff.
I disagree with that. I think there's a latency line that if you exceed that, certain functions are no longer possible. Real-timing gaming is one of those, and VoIP as well with a slightly higher latency. You are at a complete disadvantage playing real-time games if your ping is 150ms compared to someone else at 30ms, to the point where you may as well not play those types of games.

I'm not sure what the justification is to assume that Starlink will not be horribly oversubscribed, either. Last I checked it was supposed to be about 32Tbps with all satellites operational. A substantial amount of that is completely wasted over water, so the effective capacity for customer that actually have the money for SpaceX to generate revenue is very small. The types of services people need in remote areas, whether it be a plane or in a village that has never had internet are not those that require low latency. They are either streaming media (plane), or web browsing. In that sense, I don't see how Starlink has and advantage there.

I would be shocked if they could deliver something better than cable on DOCSIS 3 to even 10% of cable customers with comparable service. My guess is it will be tailored more to high-paying customers that happen to not be able to get decent cable.
I think they know the experience is poor. But the economics are worth it to annoy x% of users so y% install apps that make them more than the x% through web.
Not sure yet. Asana seems much better. Basically anything that doesn't encourage upper management to enforce unnecessary process. The fact that 2 of the 5 companies I've worked with have had full time jobs dedicated to "JIRA administrator" suggests that it's a majorly overcomplicated solution.

This is complete rubbish. Zero evaluation compared to any sane baseline, zero thinking about representation (predicting raw price?!). I'll just say it, ML was frankly better when fewer people knew it and there was less money in claiming to be an expert.
I love Lisp but every experienced lisper will tell you they don't see the parentheses, they look directly at the AST. Seeing the AST is, for me, highly visual (proper indentation is a must) and I wonder how a blind programmer could see that.
> Unfortunately, too many people realized how valuable this was and the gaming of the system on all sides started, greatly reducing the usefulness of the Yelp directory.

I'm not sure if this is exactly it or if you're letting Yelp off the hook. Yelp was perfectly happy to try to profit from the gaming. That didn't just damage its usefulness. It damaged trust; and trust is a lot harder to get back.
Can you clarify why "the target series should be log-normal returns" is important or provide a pointer for more information?
Yelp is full of wannabe food critics/influencer types who complain about the ambience or quality of service. I always get the impression that these people only go to places that are already popular. For things not related to food/drinks, Yelp is no better than Google.

Also, they focus too much on search/ratings, so finding a place is harder when you aren't quite sure what you're in the mood for. I hope Yelp focuses more on the discovery aspect, because right now that's happening on Instagram and blogs like Eater.
Google App Engine also originally sort of relied on language sandboxing but it still had a separate process for each tenant.
So now that reddit’s Death has begun, what’s our alternative?
Exactly. I'm under no illusion that Yelp is a particularly useful filter to pick out the ultimate dining experience. But I travel something over 100 days a year. If for at least some of those days when I'm in unfamiliar locations, Yelp can--with a little bit of skeptical evaluation on my part--help me pick restaurants that are mostly to my tastes and on the better side of average, it's done its job. I am somewhat critical/fussy about restaurants in general so I don't mind spending a few minutes to do some research.

Haskell, C++ and Rust support tiny amount of dependent type theory, enough to encode this information. I don't think any implementation would optimize given that though. But this is ok since you can implement this optimization yourself with no runtime cost and no change to the code using the datastructure. As far as full fledged dependent types go, we have agda if you're into Haskell ecosystem. I think your question is a bit badly formulated since dependent types are a new, and shiny thing so you won't find any industry-standard implementation of it. I was trying to express this problem is solvable.

> Also, is it really better specifying all the information to possibly help the compiler come to the conclusion that it should choose an array, than simply typing "Array"?

Obviously right? The end result (target code) is the same but now you have two advantages (1) your compiler will check if your assumptions are right i.e. your keys are dense where you think they're dense and if not you'll get a type error in compile time so that you're not wasting space at runtime had you were using Array<int> (2) now your code doesn't have specialized data structures (hashmap vs array for the same logic), it's generic, so it's more readable.
At the end of the article the author states that FMT has gained some widespread acceptance in the past 6 years. Her experience is from 2012, when it was still a relatively obscure treatment.
I had a friend in high school with a similar job. His entire job consisted of getting a box of electronic components, plugging them into a test machine, and pressing a button. If a light on the test machine turned green, he put the part in one box, if it turned red, he put it in another box. Sad part is that it actually paid really well because working in the facility required a security clearance.
Thanks! Feel free to get in touch, maybe we can exchange ideas.

Where is the proof for this outrageous statement? It certainly isn't true for ketamine's use in depression.
We were actually talking about something else in the office today that seems similar: Apparently around 2009-2011, several companies were coming out with dual-monitor laptops that folded out when open... Which then died out and disappeared.

This is the key here. If you grew up poor with parents that weren't kind to their bodies and died young you'll probably do the same, marry someone who does the same and have kids who do the same.

They didn't say it was a bad thing. Just that it's what happens.

I've noticed lately that people seem to assume that if you say something negative, you're trying to make a big existential claim about its place in the universe.

Like when people criticize masculinity and then we are all aghast as if they said masculinity needs to be systematically extracted from all aspects of culture.

I'm not sure which side of the equation needs to be more careful though. Maybe, in the internet age with the globe as your audience, if people are criticizing things they need to add a bunch of caveats to make it clear what they're not saying.

Ask HN: Things you spend the most money on that you're the least satisfied with?
I'm asking this because that seems to be an indication that something about the thing is extra important. If it's a bad purchasing or product experience but we choose to buy it anyway then we probably really want something.

Examples: I have a strong distaste for a certain food delivery app, but I occasionally purchase from it anyway, because I really want some food item and I don't want to drive there to get it.

One way to frame the question: What's something you willingly spend/spent money on despite you disliking large aspects of the product or purchase experience?

Another way to frame the question: What are the things that you spend the most money on that you're the least satisfied with?

Please include in your answer whether this is for a business purchase or a personal one, if it's not obvious.
>That time pretty much matches the record of the 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4, and is far quicker than the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio’s 1:22.78 lap.

They've tried to hold restaurants and other small businesses hostage for years and never expected that, given how despised they are, someone would displace them?

The way they run their business is comical as well. In my city Yelp is basically a non-factor. Businesses that have 500 Google or OpenTable reviews will often have a dozen Yelp reviews at most, yet Yelp will constantly phone you trying to get you to sign up for their services... Usually very aggressively and during peak business hours.
I mostly like and use Yelp, and I get the negativity.

What your saying about knowing how to use Yelp is right on, but it leads to some dissatisfaction, because a 4 star restaurant should be a 4 star restaurant. More importantly, they manipulate ratings. They pressure businesses to pay them to fix ratings Yelp broke. They let businesses improve ratings when they shouldn't, analogous to Glassdoor and Amazon users getting ratings they don't like kicked off or hidden. There are plenty of fake and misleading reviews. And they have lots of dark patterns e.g. pushing you to their mobile app from the web, requiring you to create an account, etc. Some of these are observable by everyone, others there are many anecdotes.

They're not going away. They provide value to people, me included. But some negativity directed their way makes sense to me.
Agreed, the times are rendered uncomparable since they changed the tires - increasing both size and stickiness!

I spoke to them for insurance clicks and it was around $25-30 a click. Might as well just buy Google PPC ads for the same amount and get more value.

I travel a lot, and I never ask for the 'best' place to eat. What you ask is very, very important. I always ask what their favorite place to eat is. That is a different result.

What I've noticed is if you ask a random stranger what the 'best' is, you get the same generic, expensive fusion something made into a paste cuisine. If you ask their favorite, you find small, off-the-wall places with terrible selection, but amazing food.
don't worry, it's not. Even in New York, has to be limited in time and geographic region. Good luck getting more than a year.
Their satellites don't communicate with each other by radio links, but by laser. Laser works better in vacuum than it does in fiber. Radio is just for the downlinks.(1)

They have not publicly stated anything about the inter-satellite links, but a research paper published by independent researchers(2) estimated that based on other state of the art, they get >100Gbps of bandwidth between two communicating satellites. The total trans-pacific capacity between NZ and the US will be better than the SC fiber line because there will be many different non-sharing paths using different satellites.

(1): Also likely for crossing connections. The paper mentioned below assumed use of laser for those too, but that is IMHO unlikely because steering would be too hard. Lasers work great for satellites on the same plane and those that are on the neighboring ones, because the angular speed that the system needs to move to track stays very low -- the satellites near them are almost stationary from their point of view. In contrast, satellites on crossing planes zip by very fast and have high angular motion, especially when near.

It's not so much that it's for profit, but who pays. For most things we don't care if not everyone gets it so free market works best. Things that we require everybody to have are best paid for by taxation. And hybrid systems are a disaster. I can't think of any exceptions. But if the government pays $100 to put a cast on a broken arm and a hospital figures out how to do it for $50 and profits, I don't see a problem.

I said it's within context though. Going into a divey 6 seat restaurant and expecting top tier service/experience is a bit weird. I have no problem with them, its' people taking pot shots & ranking down b/c it doesn't stack up to their preferred experience.

If I'm walking around a city and duck into a tiny Thai space that has 4 seats I am not expecting that place to compete from an "experience" stand point to some newer fusion thai spot. I go in knowing full well the food (hopefully) is top notch and that's it.
I prefer to have a mobile device I can use for longer while, uh, mobile than a pretty UI that requires being tethered to the wall for longer.
If that's the case then the problem becomes exponentially more complex than I was thinking, and the technical challenges are going to be far harder than I'd first thought. Doing frequency reuse and interference mitigation at the rates they need to if they're going to steer the beams is enormously complex.
Could it be designed to limit variance and the impact of clever hardware and its unpredictable nature? I can imagine benchmarking on a new high-end desktop machine would require a lot of work to make sure your benchmark isn't impacted because you ran it Friday at 11:44 and the cron job that runs at 11:45 messed up a few key caches, made your CPU heat up that extra 1 degree celcius causing some throttling to kick in, causing your prng to be seeded with a value that triggers a few worst-case performance scenarios etc.

There are a lot of factors that can influence a modern system and most of them seem hard to control. For a 8086 you could probably account for all these factors if you put in the hours and run it in a highly controlled environment but I doubt its even possible for a modern CPU, let alone the whole system.

Of course this isn't a problem for most benchmarks as most of them are only useful for demonstrating real world use-cases where the variance is expected and the goal is not to benchmark the performance of a single element of the system but the perceived performance you can expect in a real-world scenario.

Or its simply designed by someone who loves this kind of system and found a good excuse to put one to use.
Abstraction isn't free, either. The more you build, the more you're gambling that it abstracts over all future requirements.

When you're eventually wrong, someone must pay the incredibly expensive price of deabstraction. Which can become so untenable that it makes more sense to escape-latch out of it for a new business requirement. If you disagree, then shrink the deadline until you do.

What happens with technical debt is that every new/changed feature incurs disproportional costs. And all costs, at the end of the day, boil down into time. Even the best developer has the same finite resource of time as everyone else, and they are stuck choosing between the best of suboptimal solutions once bounded by deadlines.

This is why, when encountering a mess of a codebase, it's naive to conclude "wow, what a bunch of amateurs." And that's exactly what I thought at my first job out of university. Eventually I realized that software is just hard and there is never enough time. The more experienced you get, the better you are at writing code that can be changed or thrown away. But you're still only minimizing the bad, not eliminating the bad, so on a long enough time scale with enough monkey wrenches of time constraints and requirement churn, technical debt is inevitable.

Indeed,

The thing about the OP is that while Knuth makes a survey of meanings that the term "art" has, it doesn't seem like survey captures the difference between craft, artisanship and art as they have developed historically.

I believe in art history, art as distinguished from craft develops as artists of note appear with sufficient that their works reflect an unique personal vision while still encompassing the skills of the craftsperson (this view has been implicit since fairly early art history - see artist and art-historian Giorgio Vasari[1]).

In this art/craft distinction, it would seem that, yes, computer programmers are solidly on the craft side. The computer programmer can very creative but the results of the programmers aim to avoid personal expression. Even a programmer who cobbles together a game in their own unique style of assembler doesn't want how the game was created to visible to the end user. Creating a games' design may an art but the programmer aims to make the implementation of the game completely invisible (in most instances, everything that appears from a game implementation detracts from play - pauses, artifacts, pixelation, etc).

The one thing about programming that differs from artisanship is that programmer can face a wider variety of challenges and be more often forced to create entirely new approaches. This is the realm of computer science and software engineering - it is a creative realm but creative in the fashion of the mathematician or scientist rather than the artist (as the artist has been historically distinguished).
