Precious little conversation going on here about donating...

Lemme start by putting my cards on the table - I think it's morally wrong to be rich. In a world where people are starving to death for the want of a few dozen dollars a week, people with billion-dollar valuations and extravagances are among the worst people I can think of.

That said, I'm not going to stand here and say "if you don't give it all away, you're evil". It's absolutely a logarithmic thing, and even at $8m, there are a lot of questions and plans you have to make to ensure that you don't do the whole "sudden windfall" thing and end up worse off than before.

But I'm in a similar situation to you (sans windfall), and I know I'd feel awful not using at least some of that money to improve the lot of those less fortunate than myself. I keep a running list of organizations that I personally feel do plenty of good to causes that are important to me and don't just exist to funnel donations into operating expenses, just in case of a big exit or whatever, and I plan to start with 10% of the total and work my way up to as much as I can stand.

So definitely make sure you and your family are taken care of, take things slowly, try to get over the rush. But maybe re-watch Schindler's List, and consider investing as much as you can stand into good causes.

Couldn't agree more on the extensions part. We wrote a post recently highlighting how extensions have been key into what Postgres has become and is becoming. It got some pickup here on HN, in case you missed it in the initial post you can find it at https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2018/11/27/postgres-more-than....
Better question is how it is different from Rich Text Format?
Exactly!

It really is suppose to be "couldn't care less". Meaning, that they are at level 0/100 of the caring meter.

But as languages go, we tend to move towards an easier way to say the same thing.

"could care less" sounds similar, means the same, and that most people associates it with the former phrase.

> why use ___ instead of Postgres?

MSSQL has DataDude. You write your database as CREATE statements. This is then parsed into an AST and semantic model, diffed against a live database (or another script) and you get an ALTER script. You also get working intellisense, build errors, and everything you'd expect from something like C++. It completely changes how you develop databases into something a whole lot more modern. Especially in source control: migrations are storing history on top of the history which source control already provides, which is nonsensical.

I still want to develop something for Postgres someday that replicates this.

Is it misuse, or does it serve their ultimate purpose, which is to act in the best interest of their constituents?

> Ultimately, we decided on a model where we continued to provide the developer platform for free and developers could choose to buy ads if they wanted. This model has worked well. Other ideas we considered but decided against included charging developers for usage of our platform, similar to how developers pay to use Amazon AWS or Google Cloud.

This is a pretty disingenuous comparison, in my opinion. AWS and Google Cloud are similar to Facebook's platform only in that they are all, arguably, "platforms" of some sort. AWS provides infrastructure that lets you run more-or-less whatever you want on it. The Facebook platform is much closer to being simply a proprietary API to enable your app to access Facebook user data.

> What features of Oracle or SQL Server would you say it is lacking?

An ass to drag onto the carpet. In enterprise speak, "support" means "legal liability". You have to be able to sue someone if it fails and loses your company money. This was taught to me by an old IT hand back when I was a young naïve Linux kiddie "you have to be able todrag somebody's ass onto the carpet when the shit breaks".

Oh yes, and there's also brand recognition and a large pool of certified Oracle or SQL Server DBAs to draw from when making hiring decisions. Yes, technical people will know that Postgres is solid and will know how to spot good people to maintain a Postgres installation -- but the person signing off on the IT budget is a total normie. He will smile when he sees familiar names and make a lolwut face when he sees postgres.

Relatedly, Postgres doesn't have a yacht. Oracle's yacht won the America's Cup.

Why Eastern European Soldiers Wear Ski Masks
towing companies are inherently shady: they're stealing your car, with little to no proof of justification, with little to no recourse, and charging you to get it back (often with obscenely inconvenient and long waiting periods). My friend has had his car towed from in front of his house, because his neighbor called it in thinking it was.. I dunno, ditched there?

And there's no recourse. He paid up, because it'd cost more and be a massive headache to try to fight it. I'm not sure there's anything stopping me from calling it in on any neighbor I dislike. (AAA has a weird setup as well; they've never once properly verified I owned the car I was having towed.. but they're not antagonistic, and the caller is verifiable by their AAA account, so I'm not worried about them as much)

The only thing that keeps towing companies in line is that if they caused too much trouble with their bullshit, they'd see repercussion from populace/city. But as long as they're justified 70% of the time they take your car, they'll keep on truckin'

I mean shit, how do you even consistently verify that the car was parked at the wrong business... you watch someone park and go into the neighboring business? 5 minutes later he goes to the correct one, and whoops, there goes his car.

There's not much difference between a well-behaving towing company and misbehaving one.

Filtr.pub: Finding Signals in Noisy AI Research
Picture the middle of nowhere: There is a farm supply store, and the nearest other building is a mile away. There is no freeloader problem because nobody will walk a mile. If parking is not provided for every possible customer, the potential customers will be unable to shop. Worse yet, they will get in the habit of going elsewhere, and so they won't visit even on days when there is room to park. Thus there is no need to enforce a minimum.

In a dense location, each business can be reasonably expected to build parking... because the city requires it. Businesses don't get the option to ignore the city regulations.

In general, businesses don't survive without parking minimums. Businesses die all the time, falling into bankruptcy. There are a few that can survive on tourist foot traffic in the more-famous cities, selling junk like postcards and T-shirts. Businesses with enormous per-visit revenue can of course provide valet parking, so a 4-star Michelin restaurant might work. You're going to have a bad time running a Home Depot in a city without parking minimums.

XML is also a first-class citizen on the web. All major browsers have a built-in XML parser to access and manipulate XML. All major server-side programming languages have XML parsing and manipulation libraries.

XML is a far better format for this; it is designed specifically for mixing text content with markup. This format is incredibly hard to read and debug. Once you've parsed this JSON, you're still left with a complex stringy structure that you then have to parse again anyway. The value of being in JSON is incredibly low.
This Dividend Stocks Portfolio Has Beaten the Market Over the Last 16 Years
XML is superior to JSON for text documents. Far superior.

If you want to build a JSON for text, then start by considering how to map XML to JSON. Many attempts at that exist, most terrible because the author didn't understand ordering requirements of child nodes (in XML they are ordered as they appear, but in JSON that's only true of arrays). The only reasonable way to map XML to JSON is to use arrays for all child nodes of any node, using objects at most just for things like node attributes and PIs.

I've done a fair bit of XSLT and jq programming. I understand the appeal of JSON here: jq is much pithier than XSLT/XPath! But first you have to get a bunch of things right that XML already got right.

EDIT: Once you have a very complex document schema, its mapping onto JSON will complicate any jq programs to the point where the advantage JSON has over XML as to DSLs disappears. XML simply is the right tool for documents.

> Once you parse this with the browser's built-in JSON parser, you're good to go; you have a JS object you can plug into an editor, or manipulate and display in all sorts of ways. If this were a custom HTML subset, or XML, the path would be much longer.

Browsers parse XML too, y'know? It was, at one point, even more "first class" than JSON—why do you think browsers had an "XMLHTTPRequest" API, instead of just an "HTTPRequest" API?

> You're halfway into XML land at this point.

You mean... XHTML?

The ability to combine HTML tags (retaining their semantic meaning), with tags from your own, other XML namespaces (which you can define the semantic meaning of) was 99% of the point of XHTML.

People thought XHTML was supposed to "replace HTML" or "be the next version of HTML", and so hated it (because they'd have to fix all their existing HTML-authoring tools to make them generate valid XML.)

But no, XHTML was never supposed to entirely supplant HTML; XHTML was just supposed to be a syntax for including HTML-markup-ed text as part of the content of a larger XML document.

And XHTML is still a valid thing to use today. WHATWG is even developing XHTML5 to mirror HTML5.

Really, XHTML should not be considered "some past version of HTML, a bad diversionary experiment like New Coke that we've since gotten back on track from", like most people see it. Rather, XHTML was and is a separate tool, useful in particular domains for acting as a drop-in sub-schema to larger XML document formats that need to represent text markup within them. XHTML provides not only the DTD, but all the semantics for how those elements should translate to rendered results—while still allowing you to do whatever you want, XML-wise, inside and outside and around those elements.

but the Remember Mode seems to have Org as one of its "backends"[1]. Reading the documentation ... section 7.5 (Saving to an Org Mode file) says:

"For instructions on how to integrate Remember with Org Mode, consult Capture"

Okay, let's go and read the documentation of Capture[2]; it says:

"Capture lets you quickly store notes with little interruption of your work flow. Org's method for capturing new items is heavily inspired by John Wiegley excellent remember.el package. Up to version 6.36, Org used a special setup for remember.el, then replaced it with org-remember.el. As of version 8.0, org-remember.el has been completely replaced by org-capture.el."

I'd take a long, hard look at Julia if I were you.

It has a lot in common with Nim, but is backed by a much larger community. Its FFI interface for C functions is faster than...C.

If Julia doesn't fit your use case(s), Rust might also be worth a look. What worries me about Rust is that it looks to me to have an awful lot of boilerplate that detracts from readability.
Essentially, it is the algorithm by which the C++ compiler selects what template specialization to use at your 'call' site. Function templates can be overloaded and essentially create an entire family of specializations. As a C++ programmer, you either modify+compile+run until you get your desired call/specialization; or you take the plunge once your start to heavily rely on meta-template magic and try to grok the ordering scheme defined by the standard.

Crucially, this is completely different from say the way function overload resolution happens in C++. Fun stuff happens in your brain when you try combining different types of selection/overloading (ever tried combining template and regular function overloading on a templated class method?).

Compare ADL (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl), overload resolution (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/overload_resoluti...) and function template overloading (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/function_template...)

Heh, that reminds me of my last rental, where, not half an hour off the lot, the touchscreen sound/navigation/??? system got stuck in some sort of reboot loop. Cursory online research suggested the problem was a known firmware bug that was unfixable without a service appointment.

A reasonable person would probably have turned around and exchanged the car with the rental company at this point.

I am not a reasonable person.

Instead, I headed directly to a truck stop and purchased a heavy-duty power inverter, dropped the back seat, and crammed my portable PA speaker into the trunk, connected to the car's trunk-mounted battery through the inverter and to my iPhone through a shielded audio cable run from the trunk to the front seat.

The result sounded far better than it should have, and what it lacked in convenience (I had to pop the trunk to power it down) and channel separation (one speaker = mono), it more than made up for in dB SPL.

(for the record, I've also repaired eBay purchases that arrived in worse-than-advertised condition rather than returning them, for no other reason than that learning how to fix things is more fun than going through the hassle of returning them)

redux-start-kit looks great. It's been over a year since I've bootstrapped a redux project, but I'd definitely use it next time.

One area that I always felt "there has to be a better way" was defining action names. Typing the same thing twice, as insignificant as it is in the grand scheme. I saw a few libraries that had answers for this, but none were "standard."

Well outside the scope, but it would be nice to easily use action names as navigators via an editor extension. Rekit is doing some really interesting work to use Redux as the way to access an application.
Yeah, I should have been more clear. You are right, they are most certainly /still/ doing it.
Probably the most important these days: don't blindly follow the interview process of big tech companies. They have an almost endless queue of very good candidates. Any other company has the exact opposite problem. They treat their candidates poorly (ridiculous whiteboard algorithm questions) and don't really care about losing good candidates. Other companies can't do this, they are lucky to even get good candidates applying.

Better a rejection than complete radio silence, though.

I went through a job hunt a couple of months ago. CV screening was by far the most stringent part of the process for me. I passed all of my phone screens and got offers from most of my on-sites, but getting an interview from an application was a crapshoot. Thankfully most rejections at that stage were prompt and unambiguous (though as you say, not helpful/informative.)

Lyft was an exception, though. Their application page said something along the lines of "We respect your time, so we won't respond back if you don't make the cut." Pretty ironic, not responding back is about the most disrespectful thing they can do at that point in the process -- certainly worse than a curt "fuck off".

(By contrast I loved Stripe's interview process.)
