>Society isn't going to fall flat if we don't have to sit in a chair for 8 hours, 5 days a week.

Why not?

Has there ever been a functioning society where the vast majority of the population did not have to work for a living and all their needs were provided by a massive central bureaucracy?

Why is it so obvious that such a society would work given that we also have many examples of populations (within existing societies) that suffer from multitude of social ills when their basic needs are provided by the welfare state but no jobs are available.

>But we're not all brainwashed drones that only live for work.

What brainwashing??!?!? You make it seem like working for a living was invented last week. This has been the reality for all of human history.
This is a great opportunity for selective breeding of humans. Promote the mating of people who are more susceptible to ads.
I think the idea was for this thread to exclude that - but launch a new, separate thread if you want.
You don't need to expressly define all cases in an `else` block.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but here goes:

It's not 2011 anymore, back when the mobile web was trash because companies maintained both a desktop site and a severly gimped "m.desktop.com" site. Back then you pretty much had to have apps if you wanted to capture the mobile market.

Today, we have mature Add to Home Screen capability, GPS support, push notifications, widespread support for CSS3 hardware acceleration, PWAs, offline capabilities and much more.

You can now make Uber and Lyft trips on the mobile web. That is a use case where I had previously thought I would always need to have the app installed.

So with that in mind, why would I even want to open the dumpster fire that is Google Play/App Store in 2018? If it's a new company I haven't heard of, I am sure as hell not about to open the app store and download > 50MB on my data plan to check you out.

Working on the systems in a technical capacity doesn't necessarily inform you of how those systems were used.
Good.

The Yelp app/site is basically the same it was 5 years ago. Rather than innovate they chose to:

- Opt for the shakedown/extortion method of ranking sites (those that advertised with Yelp rank higher, negative reviews can mysteriously disappear for advertisers)

- Whine to regulators about Google is stealing content from them (by, you know, serving a snippet of content that Yelp allows to be scraped).

- Harass users to install their (shitty) app.

This is just bad management/leadership to the core and such a waste opportunity. A telltale sign of this is the demonization of some nefarious third-party and blaming all your woes on them, which they've clearly done with Google. Don't think that's effective? Look at the current state of US politics.

I really have no time for these shenanigans.
Just so, generic code is replaced by its concrete instances, which are faster and (at first) easier to comprehend.

Just so, extensible code gets extended and shimmed and customized until under its own sheer weight it collapses, then replaced by a monolith that Just Works.

aesthetics alone keep us from the hell

Beware of comparing "beautiful" code to subsequent code that deals with 10x the complexity in requirements. Either it's beautiful because it's perfectly suited to the scale and complexity it was written for, in which case it's impossible to preserve that beauty in the later, more complex code, or it's "beautiful" because it has a bunch of premature abstractions built in that somebody fantasized would handle all future complexity, in which case the "beauty" was useless work that later programmers had to undo. When the supposed genericity and extensibility of a system doesn't survive the evolution of the system to meet subsequent requirements, my first suspicion is premature abstraction, not insufficiently tasteful programmers.

Even worse, the effort to dismantle this "beauty" is often considerable. Architecture, defined as the set of decisions that are costly to change, needs to anticipate the drastically different needs of the future. You rarely find architecture within the code of a single system early in its development, because code at that stage should be easy to rewrite. Code seen as "beautiful" by its author often violates this rule, creating architecture where architecture shouldn't exist.
Your counterpoint is a bit weak. You sold a 5 year old Mac Mini, the OP literally just wrote how the old Mac Mini held its value precisely because it could be upgraded with replaceable components, while the updated Mac Mini is not. I doubt a current gen model will hold its value nearly as well as the older models because parts cannot be replaced down the line.
Interesting paper but the repo (https://github.com/ground-context/ground) seems abandoned. Have seen companies losing out on a lot of value they can extract from their data because metadata context (discoverability, lineage and semantics) is the last thing on plate or not considered important across the org.
They have been, for some years already. They'll almost certainly start moving at some point, but none seem to have started yet.
If it's 100% read-only, you could probably use it safely. Make sure its filesystem on the NFS server is mounted read-only, and obviously all the clients' NFS mounts must also be read-only. As for "largely read only" - if there are any writers at all, all bets are off.

LMDB automatically detects read-only filesystems, and turns off its locking in that case, so it should perform as well as anyone could expect NFS to perform.
To play devils advocate :

>Dating apps live and die by their userbase so we're already doing pretty good there.

The only people on facebook are boomers arguing about politics. Dating is all about exclusivity and compartmentalization. Nobody wants to date in the same place they get happy birthday messages from their grandma.

>Using the social graph for matches is brilliant

Nobody wants to see their friend of friends on a dating site. Tinder tried this already and it bombed. The current meta for dating apps is to exclude anyone in your contacts or friendlists.

>More than any other dating platform they have the tools to combat bots and fakes at scale.

This is largely self-policing. Bots are in neither sides best interest so they get reported and removed quickly.

>Facebook has huge potential to make dating safer by knowing when you're together detecting suspicious activity

I barely want facebook to know my name, let alone when and where I'm on a first date. This, again, is largely self-policing. Meet in public places. Make sure your date passes the sniff-test. Yes there are bad actors out there, but there is also personal responsibility.

As for picture messages and data. I don't trust any company and its probably best to keep data from being centralized as best as possible. But that's just my opinion.
Well, they’re making a product choice to bias to aiming at one direction. That’s just a product choice that’s a useful differentiator when the most recent successful dating apps have been hookup apps.
Well, just at a minimum... There's the fact that the majority of large gains and losses exist over single-day frames. That is, guessing "right" or "wrong" on movement means little when one slip on the wrong day will decimate your returns.
I don't think we're (in particular) disagreeing, you're just being weirdly defensive (in this whole thread). The part we're agreeing is: there is no such "Sufficiently optimizing compiler" yet so a HL won't be as fast as LL by default. (this is very easy to check, C always wins in compiler metrics). What I'm trying to express is: (1) this is a trade-off by getting that slight performance increase you're making code uglier/less-readable (2) with current technologies you'll get acceptable performance even if you use generics (3) theoretically there is no reason why such sufficiently smart compiler cannot exist, we know enough to express sufficient amount of information in our programs.
But why do we insist to think that the the pyramids were built with such primitive tools?

It's not only the weight of the stone blocks and the distance but also the mathematical precision, the perfectly round holes drilled in some stones, the puzzle shaped carved stones to stand earthquakes and the perfectly chiseled pharaoh stone statues and all the amazing things there that it makes me wonder why do we insist they used chisels and ropes and all that things that we associate with primitives?

Why is so hard to admit that they had some kind of advanced technology that for some reason has been lost?

Is this so scary to admit for a culture that wants to think is the pinnacle of human history? The same thinking that we are the center of the universe type of mentality.
Facebook is still being used, the majority of users are between 18 to 44 as can be seen on statista thru google search. However there is basically no young people. Having this dating feature kind of matches with their adult demographic who likely can pay. After all fb is dying with no young people signing up in North America, its gotta find a way out. Note that around the world but not North America and Europe there are still many young people signing up for FB.
GrandPerspective does it for me. Really intuitive interface to figure out what's taking how much of storage and delete it.

You didn't release any data to verify and this is clearly a product pitch in the form of a Medium post, so I guess my response is "Oh. Okay"

Edit: Transcription[0] seems really poor, but I guess they're just checking for mentions of the advertiser's name and not anything like sentiment or actually matching ad copy (where there would be higher value to advertisers).

What most people want is to pay and then not worry about random downgrades and deactivations, even if they upgrade a parr or two, or boot the same machine indirectly through a hyper visor.

Apparently, Microsoft does not or cannot deliver this, and as we’ve seen this week may randomly downgrade your system even if nothing changed.
If we're going to split hairs like that then blood cells and the neurons of some species of adult fairy wasps are not alive.

And if you response is that the rest of the organism fulfills the self replication process through sexual reproduction, then why can't these cells being assisted by an outside process like the splitting chip be considered alive in whole like an animal is?
Note to self: don't let bats lick my hands.
I mean, you kind of answered the question yourself, "considering quitting facebook. [but] They stick around"

This is kind orthogonal to comments about the FB dating features, but my company chose to launch a major feature this week in Canada as well. I guess it is the natural choice as: 1) it is English speaking, so it is easier for our English speaking employees to diagnose, 2) it is small enough that the traffic won't be too much, 3) roughly the same time zones as our devs so we can be online at the same time.
I don't like installing apps on my phone and having them do whatever in the background. I don't want notifications. I don't want to give an app any kind of access to my phone, period. I don't want more ads in different places. I don't want a different interface than what I'm already used to.
This. After I received my first positive review on the site they called me and tried selling me all kinds of advertising. Hundreds of dollars per month worth. I declined, and around the same time my review went from being on my business page to being buried behind a "View Reviews that are not recommended" link.

It's a total scam and they should be dragged into court and their internal memos and procedures turned inside out for the world to see.
Most theories put it down to our heat dissipation, which is really good compared to other mammals. Here's an older reference, an article about the Born to Run book: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/health/27well.html

Another useful google term is endurance hunting (theorized to be why humans are slow and weak, but have superior endurance)
Yes, another "cool" thing slowing down loading/rendering the site. "Waiting for fonts.googleapis.com"...
Well, theoretically, perfectly. Practically, there's some exploits lingering in there for sure. But that's true for virtualizers too, so...

As the article says, faster spinup (since v8 is already running) seems to be the customer's greatest advantage only, saving an order of magnitude of memory is certainly a big deal for the operator.

I think since you can compile pretty Much anything to webassembly, porting over some existing tools might even be viable.
> the majority of users are between 18 to 44

Yes but what kind of people? The only young people I see on facebook are married couples and kids.

Not exactly the prime dating demographic.

Supposedly this is for any device, but it doesn't work well on my cell phone. The interactive demo says "not enough pixels" and the chat widget gets in the way.

For smaller screens, I think it's better not to try to put as much stuff on the front page? A button going to another screen might work better than a widget.

> if is alive is easier to look for symptoms

As I understand it, removing and examining the brain can yield a definitive diagnosis in cases where time is of the essence. In cases where it's not immediately obvious that the animal is rabid, it can take a week or two of observation to look for more overt symptoms.

That's how my parents ended up adopting a stray dog, who later became just about their favorite pet ever. By the time they'd watched him for a couple weeks, he wasn't going anywhere. :)

That's literally the opposite of what happens: Patent-expired drugs can be made more cheaply, and become more popular, precisely because there's no patent holder exerting a pressure to keep prices up.

Really, your whole post reads like a screed with no scholarly foundation to it.
There are some non-profits working on that , and one company that matches seniors to college students for shared living(students save money, seniors get friendship and help).
Very glad to see this. Good luck!
I feel like the difference lies in that Warwick (and some other UK universities who do the same thing, including my own) do still have a relatively high barrier to entry that sets them apart from the American for-profits.

Not to say that Warwick & other institutions aren't as for-profit as places like Corinthians, but they definitely manage to get away with it by still maintaining academic excellence.
We've been a .net house for a decade, but we're moving away from .net and Core is a large part of it.

Everything is so low level and so unproductive it's silly, and the only redeeming features was how well it integrated into the windows setting. But now with 3.0 they're removing every non-core library, meaning, it's really not a good choice.

I'm sure it's fast, but if it takes longer to build and deploy, then it really doesn't matter to me. We can buy more iron a lot cheaper than we can buy more development hours after all.

And I agree that it's not ready, I wanted to do a quick hobby thing on my Mac, and despite the development environment working well with VSC (as good as regular visual studio really) it's just terrible to run. .net watch breaks on Mojave, and despite issues on the GitHub there isn't a real fix in sight.

Needing to reboot every-time you stop your development server for it to free the .net resource correctly is just silly.

And that's not to speak on entity. If you've ever tried Django and migrations you'll probably never work with entity again and not hate it. In face, entity is unproductive we've stuck with LinqToSql for a long while, yes I know it's slower, but who cares if I save enough development hours to pay for a thousand years of server time?

I worked directly on the code that would have done the things you're asserting to be true. There's no code to support it, and in fact, there are tools in place to prevent what you're claiming.

If there were some top-secret internal conspiracy to use the other tools on the site to do what you're claiming, you have to be especially credulous to believe that I -- or people just like me -- wouldn't have noticed it.

Unless you have some evidence to bring to the table other than "I read it on the internet", my word is worth more than your theories.

If you don't believe that what I'm telling you is true, then feel free to provide some proof.
Not portable and you have to deploy separate from your application. A company I worked for solved this by using/setting hints for queries that were known to be mis-optimised in the common case.

If you're looking to be cross platform then hopefully you've already got a layer to translate intent to an appropriate SQL dialect, so you can drop it in there.

Tiered Compilation is tweaked in a way that it provides a very good balance between startup time and throughput, which is what a majority of users would need. If you want to privilege throughput and don't care about startup time, then you should try COMPlus_ReadyToRun=0 as an environment variable. This will force to use non-crossgened code so the JIT can better optimize your code.
I was also taught to treat animals like this as rabid. When a bat came in my house a few weeks ago, I trapped it in a plastic tub, and took it outside. Here's a video of the release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zwt71GMe5M

I also live in Utah and it's strange to think that this man was likely already infected, but didn't know it, at the time I dealt with my bat.
None of them are even close to perfect. "Best" isn't necessarily all that correlated to popular though.

The other problem with "Best ofs" generically is that most of the restaurants are more expensive than I'd pay for except on rare occasions. In my nearest city, 95% of my experience is with mid-rangeish ethnic, etc. restaurants. I'm very rarely in a restaurant that's likely to make a Best of list.
As much as I like elasticsearch, it's been less fun to work with after Kibana v3 (which, I think, only works with ES v1?). I can only imagine people needing really large elasticsearch clusters nowadays don't really use Kibana for the majority of queries against it.

I don't think that's a thing. These traits are not inheritable as these are predominantly shaped by parents/school/other kids/culture.

However I most certainly hope they will try to introduce a "genetic mate" feature - that finds someone who is a good mate based on both genetic AND social factors.

Even better if they analyze what I like - including appearance.
"Screws" is A naval term for a propeller. Technically a propeller could also be a paddle wheel, a jet-drive, or ducted propeller sometimes called a propulsor. Screws are also sometimes called "wheels" by fishers. Everyone has their own terms. Naval people use slang to differentiate themselves from laypersons. I'm in an airforce. We don't take colloquial language so seriously.
I know this may seems a bit far fetched, but I find it a bit dangerous that they are performing an OTA upgrade that, according to the driver, noticeably changes the vehicle behaviour.

I do not own a Tesla, so is there a message that tells "Hey ! Your vehicle has been updated, take care".
> blood cells and the neurons of some species of adult fairy wasps are not alive

That's right, they aren't. You hair and fingernails aren't alive either. Nor is your clothing despite the fact that that too is part of the human phenotype. [1]

> why can't these cells being assisted by an outside process like the splitting chip be considered alive in whole like an animal is?

Because the splitting chip isn't produced by the cells, it's produced by humans. Take the humans away and the whole process comes to a grinding halt.

IMO there is a difference between K-12 and higher ed.

K-12 is actually more about enforcing cultural norms of dilligence, punctuality and ideally some civic norms.

Higher ed (paraphrasing Peter Thiel) is a mix between insurance and a tournament. It is _supposed_ to ensure a basic living standard. But it's also a competitive tournament where the high prestige colleges grant access to higher pay/prestige careers.
> Let's also call out Venmo and Google Pay (nee Google Wallet) in this hall of shame, both of which removed the ability to send and receive funds from their website (both mobile and desktop) in favor of strongarming you into installing the app to do so (get bent if you don't have a smartphone, I guess?).

Er, just checked and the Google Pay Send and Request money feature is accessible from both mobile and desktop site (well, I was lazy and checked both from mobile using “view desktop site” on and off.)

So, let's not call them out for something they absolutely didn't do.
Doesn't Apple tend to buy relatively unknown companies and fold their IP into their products? Beats Audio was the only major one I remember them absorbing, and was rebranded as Apple Music.

But Beats had that upscale demographic and positive brand image that Apple covets so dearly, whereas Yelp feels very much like a bygone brand of the 2010s IPO rush (along with Groupon and Foursquare). Not sure Apple would be interested. They can just pay for the POI data. Why buy the cow when all you need is the milk?
