Not true at all. I have lived in Nashville (10+ years), Houston, and Bay Area. There might be some area like Franklin or Belle Meade that is more conservative. But overall Nashville is like most big cities in the south which is liberal.
I would never, ever drive in India. I have driven in Cambodia and Laos and there traffic was chaotic but pretty slow and you could get used to it. India is on a whole different level. Chaotic, fast and unpredictable. I wonder what the accident statistics are. When I was there I saw surprisingly few accidents.
A question for anyone that knows. With this extension I like to keep everything in light mode with Brightness, Contrast and Sepia off, and Greyscale to 100%. While I like dark mode on macOS all the time I don't really like the web content on dark mode, but with this greyscale setup I feel my eyes relax while keeping images in color in the content. Long term is this setup good or bad for the eyes?
Oh, I get it. Reading the design document[0] helped greatly. Should've done more than skim the blogpost. The definition of what you want is specified as a custom resource that is cloud-agnostic. Then a set of cloud-specific custom controllers are installed on a K8s instance and they control which cloud is affected by your `kubectl apply`.

You have to set up your own k8s manually (there's no way to bootstrap), but then it's all fun and games.

Nice. Very clever.

I think we're going to see a lot of Unreal Engine games on this store. With the UE royalty being absorbed by Epic, it seems like a no brainer.
I probably shouldn't have been biased towards my political preference.

I'm just saying there's other factors, not mentioned by Wes, that me and many others deem important when choosing a place to live. And taken as a whole, NYC and TN are polar opposites in that realm.
Some have, some haven't, as far as my reading goes. There's definitely a broader spectrum of opinions and that alone seems like a good development to me.
I would actually recommend to most folks the slightly less commuter friendly areas west -- namely the Fort Lee, Palisades Park area and down to Edgewater. Especially if you can bike or motorbike or pay for the ferry.

That's exactly where I would move to if I had to leave my place in midtown.

Yes, it's Venice, Los Angeles. When he says "SM-Venice", he means Santa Monica / Venice.

Incidentally, I was in Venice Beach a few weeks ago, and I too witnessed that the scooters are very popular down there, and becoming enough of a fixture that you hear things shouted on the street like "hey, that's my Lime" when someone breaches etiquette and takes a scooter that someone else has just parked and intends to use again right away.

But the biggest of those bond investors is the fed. That's actually how they 'set' rates, by doing open market operations in which they buy and sell bonds of varying maturity dates in order to adjust the supply of money. They never want the yield curve to go inverted because it means the growth prospects for the economy are no longer there.

The point I was trying to make is that HomePod can hear you even when a vaccum is running — but your hearing is not accurate enough to hear HomePod if it replies to you at the same volume level because you don't have the impressive array of mics. HomePod would have to figure out how far away you are from it, and how far you are from the vaccum, to calculate the appropriate volume to reply with so that you could easily hear it.

Hacker News Highlights, August to November 2018
So you just ignore the list of things that generally people don't get in Manhattan?
-A dishwasher

-A in-unit washer and dryer. For many NYC-dwellers, having one's own washer and dryer gives the feeling of having "made it".
-A spare bedroom for hosting out-of-town visitors

-Central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

-Enough space to have people over or host dinner parties

-A kitchen area that can fit more than one person

-A comfortable and separate area to work at home

Things that people in almost every "second tier" city get standard for much less than $2000 a month?
Oh. Well, that would explain.
I used to be a heavy emacs user, but I've mostly abandoned it because I'm lazy.

It takes a fair amount of effort to keep up with new environments. If I change jobs (which isn't infrequent), I'll need to reconfigure a lot of the setup to work how I like. Packages upgrade and break.

For me, I just found the amount of effort it required to keep the environment set up nicer than, say intellij, just wasn't worth it.

Nowadays, I mostly use VS Code for a text editor, and intellij for larger codebases. I still drop down into emacs if I need to do serious text manipulation or weird git stuff, but that's about it for me.
Manhattan is pretty much a unique urban environment in the US. (Chicago probably comes closest.) There are a lot of things to like about it but it really is a city on steroids. Crowds, noise, etc. all take getting used to and, for a lot of people (including myself) more than a week or so of it really gets to be too much.
Agreed. Calling "Saudi Arabia" just "Saudi" is like calling "British Columbia" just "British."
WinForms' key is the quick drag and drop and edit properties type designer. It's not really intended for you to restyle it entirely (though you can). In that it was 'the style' of apps of the day, you could simply put whatever elements you needed on a form, and then double click on them to put some code behind them.

Since WinForms' existing styling was the style of applications of the day, there was little reason to heavily restyle it. Honestly, if someone ran with the new open source WinForms and introduced a Windows 10 style that I could build with the same incredibly easy editor as the existing WinForms, I'd be set.
I agree, CUSIP is also a problem for the privateer (meaning all data needs to be free to use). While I have found a way to find a mapping online, I have no idea of the accuracy and have to trust that the unaware provider QA's the data.
It seems they want to get out of WPF and others. UWP probably won't get open sourced.

I think a big reason why so many have a hard time maintaining a life-long fitness habit is because their goals are merely cosmetic. The first thing an excercise routine needs to be is fun, and after that the rest is butter.
I defy you to find a 2 bedroom apartment in a non-crappy neighborhood in any major American city for less than $1k. Even smaller cities won’t make that cut - it’s tough to find that in Columbus, let alone Denver or Dallas.

You can always trade off commute time or access to jobs and culture for lower rent. It’s pointless to complain about more desirable cities being more expensive; if you want to live in a popular area it’s going to cost you more.
Well I mean what's wrong with the study itself?

If you think DDG might have biased the structure or even falsified results, fine - make that claim. But otherwise this shouldn't really matter. Otherwise we're going to go down a rabbit hole of arguing on subjective matters, like why trust DDG, rather than pointing out objectively what's wrong with the research.
Because that's a terrible price for what you get anywhere in the US except for a few metro areas.

that's not proof of anything. https://www.nps.gov/articles/fire-prevention-52-spontaneous-...

There is a big family of interlocking optimizations, which as a whole are responsible for some spectacular gains in compiled code efficiency.

I agree with you on the "interlocking" part, and the lack of conspiracy, but is there a canonical example of these "spectacular gains"? Particularly, from an optimization that depends on the assumption that the program exhibits no undefined behavior, where the opportunity for optimization disappears if the undefined behavior were instead to be implementation defined.

You have most or all of the major compilers implementing this optimization, yet none of them have apparently solved this simple case of not messing up what the programmer wrote?

I do not assume that it is simple, only that it is important and desirable. I'm not sure if compiler writers believe it to be impossible to do things better than they do, or just not sufficiently desirable to make it worth the effort. My guess would be that it's impossible to obey programmer intent perfectly in these cases, but possible to do much better than is done currently.

The solution I'm aware of is to just always treat overflow as defined.

First, I'm using signed integer overflow as the example not because it's a particular focus for me, but because it was central to the examples of linked article. Rather than -fwrapv, my personal preferred practice is to avoid unnecessary use of signed integers. My actual focus is the larger group of optimizations thought to be possible only because one can assume that a program does not invoke undefined behavior.

I'd like to see C (and probably C++, although I've thought about it less) reduce the scope of undefined behavior, either at the level of the standard or of individual compilers. I think there is room to allow more cases to be architecturally defined without significant adverse effect. I think the counter-argument is that if this were done, performance would necessarily drop. I haven't yet seen proof of this.

It appears that many people seem to assume (as you seem to) that there is no room between "implementation defined" (-fwrapv) and "undefined behavior" (nasal daemons). What I (and I think vyodaiken) are arguing is that there is a level of compiler agnosticism and architecturally defined that can be a useful middle ground. I think this approach (at least for C) offers 95% of the optimization potential while going 95% of the way of honoring the "obvious" intent of the programmer.
At a high level:

- TiDB is Open Source (Apache 2.0 license). Several others that you mention here are commercial offerings.

- The expected data volume for TiDB is larger than memory. I believe MemSQL, for example, is memory-only.

- The architecture of TiDB is inspired by Google Spanner.

- We try to be transparent on less-suited cases. See large+small transactions, single-threaded workloads from: https://www.pingcap.com/docs/sql/mysql-compatibility/

In regards to the analytical piece:

- We suggest you use TiDB for "adhoc OLAP", and Spark for more complicated cases. While parallel, the data is still stored in a row-format (more on that next year!), so an OLAP-only solution may still have performance advantages. TiDB also supports hash joins/aggregation/sort merge joins etc. So compared to MySQL for example, you should see quite a performance improvement.

Hope this helps!

This doesn't make sense to me. Ok, so I understand that it is time consuming to take the first measurement, but I would assume that the first bra would be expensive, but all the next ones would be much cheaper (if it's the same model) or getting cheaper and cheaper with each order. What am I missing?
The IRS in the US has rules that designates things as taxable income or not for many of these questions. Businesses can still reimburse regardless of IRS categorization, but you may be taxed on the reimbursement as income.

To avoid that issue, most businesses will avoid reimbursing for incidentals that should be considered income. Suits or standard office clothing, I believe, are taxable in most circumstances. Uniforms are not. Of course there's lots of grey areas that keep accountants in business. I'd assume yoga would count as an exercise allowance and not be taxable, but that's just a guess.

Berlin is a very good analogue to NYC, I've found, except the rampant indoor cigarette smoking, which makes it unbearable for me.
I recall that the initial release of the Web Extension support was a bit threadbare, and/or that they had to change the extension ID or something of that sort, but it's also possible it was left out for existing design reasons/as a cudgel. In either case this whole thread has been useful for alerting me that I should re-evaluate if Lastpass is the optimal solution for me.
“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”: Science and Ethics of Trauma Fiction
Accepting the null hypothesis has utility only if you have some reason to believe it would not be accepted.

Accepting it per se has no particular value. You could generate several random datasets, and accept/reject the null hypothesis between them ad infinitum.

To put it another way, its only interesting if its surprising.

> Tech is squeezed into hyper-expensive cities because, as illogical as it may seem, it's where a lot of workers want to live.

That's a factor, but I think an even bigger set of factors is:

(1) industry-focussed venture capital and related support infrastructure (particularly for startups) prefers proximity,

(2) there are benefits to proximity to other firms in the industry other than capital and support structures, e.g., it's easier to pick up experienced workers as you expand if you don't have to get them to relocate,

(3) With the money flowing into the industry, wherever it is concentrated is going to become expensive, because the number of dollars chasing housing and other goods is going to be high compared to places it isn't concentrated.
Late response, but here's the thing...that alarm does exist and is listed off when Siri goes through all the existing alarm options that can be turned on...
There was something to that style. Different application UIs were pretty predictable in use compared to what we have today. I think there is way too much work going into messing with the UI instead of real functionality.
Think of the billions of years that passed by before you were born. Were they bad for you? Was there any pain? Do you worry about them, or even pay any attention to them?

Perhaps things will be identical to you after you've died, and therefore absolutely nothing to worry about.

As a non-believer, I believe that we have just this one life, so make the best of it and enjoy it without worrying.

> I remember having to override the default Button class and add like 50 lines of code just so I could get a custom background.

That's mostly because you're not supposed to be doing that sort of thing in the first place. Customizing widgets = inconsistent look and feel. Custom widgets = Inconsistent LAF, inconsistent interaction, no accessibility etc.

The idea of Win32 UI, WinForms etc. is that you have a look and feel dictated by the system, not by individual app developers, with the ultimate goal being not just a consistent look and feel of the whole system (including applications) but consistently applied patterns of interaction. This in turn makes computers easier to use.

Of course, modern UI frameworks, whether in the browser (JS) or outside the browser (QML, UWP, JS, ...) run completely counter to that.
You can also live in most cities in the US and get the entire list filled for $1000/month.

Yes. I find it really difficult and uncomfortable to read bright text on dark backgrounds. It honestly hurts my eyes. And afterwards my eyes have leftover streaks of bright after the text lines. Can't stand it, and I will go to lengths to turns such pages into "bright mode".
Take a look at Kotlin or Typescript†. Basically, they decided to fully design the language with support for null-as-option.

That means several things:

* T (non-nullable) and T? (nullable) are different types. T? = T | null
* Where T is expected T? is not accepted, but where T? is specified T is also accepted
* T? is automatically cast to T in the places where it's asserted to be not null, e.g. within an if(x != null) branch
* Method calls are not allowed on T? (unless the function specifies it can handle null)
* There's syntax for providing a value in case of null. (x ?: fallback) in Kotlin, (x || fallback) in Typescript.

It's a much more pleasant developer experience than the Option ADTs/Enum types from Scala or Haskell, which the same amount of safety.

Typescript goes even further and has the best enumeration support I've seen any language have. T | U is a fully valid type, and if T | U is asserted to be one of them it is automatically cast to T/U. It is a very natural and efficient way of building ADTs [1]

Because of legacy code issues, you're likely to just see the new parts of Windows get open sourced. When things get rewritten or ported or what-have-you (such as reimplementing these frameworks for .NET Core), it'll likely be open source. See how nothing from IE has been open sourced, but several components of Edge have been.

It's likely most of the nuts and bolts of Windows can be open sourced without threatening their business model, as competing OSes are pretty architecturally incompatible, and there will always be some closed source parts of Windows. Bear in mind, Microsoft is working heavily on shifting their revenue to being services-based as well.

I don't think that's a good, general comparison. Depends on what you're doing online.

I spend my time online reading about my interests or talking to other people. In the outside world, the conversations I have are short and often unfulfilling. People are more open online and I really value that kind of open introspection with others. It's difficult to find information about my interests outside of the Internet as well, unless I go to the library which, for me, is at least an hour commute.

Lots of people are learning how to use the Internet productively because as we migrate our time from physical reality to virtual reality, we crave more corresponding meaning.

The real world sucks for me sometimes (y'know, apart from nature walks and the like) because it's not the apple it's the candy. It feels fake, empty, and lifeless.
