I think Apple Music and the Music app on the phones have become far too intertwined. It feels like I'm using a shareware version of Real Player at times.
There was a time when overnight I received 200 copies of an email in my inbox. The emails were sent manually, typos, delays and all. Very industrious individual.

I was discussing this with a colleague of mine the next day and it transpired that they'd recently taken delivery of two DEC Alpha workstations. They were both sitting on his desk, being configured for actual work.

We set up a system using .forward files where DEC Alpha 1 would forward an email to DEC Alpha 2. On DEC Alpha 2 we set up the same in reverse.

We sent an email to DEC Alpha 1 and CC'd in our individual.

We let it run for 5 seconds.

In that time the two workstations, doing nothing other than sending email, managed a combined 25k of messages.

We never did hear from that person again.

These days when I think back about that, it was probably one of the early DOS attacks. We were a little shocked how well it worked.

This is the non-organic ones. The organic ones are 6 bucks. At another grocery store a mile away the non-organic ones are about one dollar per package right now. Shipping is cheap. The prices fluctuate but whole foods tends to keep it higher than what other stores charge when they're out of season, except when they're on sale. They go on sale based on the season but don't always go on sale when they're in season.

> a couple ignoring each other

Being back to back in physical contact, even while also engaging in some other activity, is not necessarily (or, IME, even most likely) ignoring each other.
Unabomber's Manifesto(Industrial Society and Its Future)
Hmm it'd take forever to dig into the respective documentation at AWS and GCP, but from a quick look the CPU frequency alone is quite different (3.0 GHz for AWS's Xeon Scalable and 2.0 GHz for GCP's Xeon Scalable), and we don't know anything about CPU cache sizes, etc. etc. That's problematic to start. Then we have very little info to go by on the underlying storage performance. More problematic, I don't know how large the working data set is for TPM-C (i.e. how many warehouses are being simulated?), so I can't tell how much of the storage is being used. I assume it's larger than the 60GB of DRAM offered on the GCP instance (thus spilling into the storage), but with the CPU differences and unknown storage performance, I don't know what to make of this report.
There is lots here about how far short this falls, vs. a real launch. I don't think anybody has mentioned that the rocket is basically full of powdered rubber and Oxy detergent. You would not be impressed by the odor when you get out.

That, and the amount of pollution it dumps into the upper atmosphere is embarrassing. Not so bad, that way, as the old space shuttle with its strap-on boosters, though. Hydrogen-fueled rockets are the only non-embarrassing way to reach Earth orbit. (H2O2 is OK, but no one uses it for that.)
Yea... The last time I did it, it took me 4 hours. Now it's been pending for 12 days as of today.
Remember to reard the linked editorial for context: https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/12/13/we-jumped-from-planes-w...

> We conducted the PARACHUTE trial to illustrate the perils of interpreting trials outside of context. When strong beliefs about the standard of care exist in the community, often only low risk patients are enrolled in a trial, which can unsalvageably bias the results, akin to jumping from an aircraft without a parachute. Assuming that the findings of such a trial are generalisable to the broader population may produce disastrous consequences.

>Before you jump to the conclusion that we’re suggesting we jettison RCTs from clinical research, let us clarify that that is not our intention. In an ideal world, new interventions would always be carefully evaluated through rigorous RCTs before widespread adoption. But when pre-existing convictions about an untested intervention affect the population enrolled, even a well conducted RCT can provide misleading results. Without careful attention to context, extrapolating findings from such an RCT to the patient in front of us may be, well, a leap too far.
I agree, the PDF spec is great, and very easy to understand (if slow to wade through). The hardest parts are when you have to duck out to read another spec for a contained format like TrueType.

Regarding Reader, I work with PDFs a lot, and the majority of issues have a fairly common pattern. The supplier has created a PDF in a 3rd party tool, which is invalid in a subtle way (production printers in particular are very specific about what they want to accept).

But it works fine in Adobe Reader, since it was built to be very tolerant in what it accepts, so it's often hard to convince the non-technical users that the file has an issue. It's great for end users but has meant that a lot of tools out there just didn't have to try too hard to make PDFs that mostly work, so programming workflows can be an issue.
I could see an effective marketing campaign making debit a social signal.

Being able to make a large purchase on debit means you can afford it right now-- just as dropping a stack of $100 notes would signal.

In contrast, paying with credit can be a pose-- you look like you can afford the $1000 purchase, but it hides the dark secret that you'll be paying for it well into the next decade.

> It’s worth noting that if you shoot a cannonball dead horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time as it would if dropped from the same height

I think this is assuming the ground is flat, which isn't a good assumption when talking about orbits.
I agree with the other comments saying there is very little information and that makes it hard to understand or trust the product. I am assuming that's just because this is a brand new effort and a relatively early MVP.

It was funny to see this on the front page today because this is actually an issue I have been wresting with myself in the last couple of weeks.

A friend and I just started testing a somewhat similar product called Git Butler - https://www.gitbutler.com/. It's IFTTT for GitHub and helps automate pull request and issue workflows.

We've been wondering how much info to include, and what to say or not to say. It's a real challenge! So I've been watching this thread with great interest and really hope more comments come in.

(P.S. Any feedback on Git Butler would be much appreciated. I don't have a lot of experience with this, but this thread is also making me think we should consider doing a Show HN.)

It is very interesting. I think our brains are just so incredibly fitted towards interpreting entities whose shape and movement is life-like as intelligent, purposeful agents. Even-moreso if they are human-like. You could give just-so story that this was very important for survival in our evolutionary history, which is a fairly compelling idea.

I think often under appreciated is that nuclear and coal plants are complex integrated machines. And a lot of the components are expensive one off parts, have long lead times, and have to fit together with mating parts perfectly or there is hell to pay.

Where solar and wind plants are simpler flexible cookie cutter designs.

Which means solar and wind can be built quickly. From a cost perspective building something in 2 years has a lot less overhead than building something over 10 years.

Luaka Bop gives musicians a platform/wider audience, and in the case of someone like Brazilian musician Tom Ze, he toured on the basis of that wider exposure. He didn't need to take that money.

One thing that's admirable about David Byrne is how frank he is about racism. In 1997 he said "I am slowly overcoming the racism that was instilled in me by society."

Maybe he even tries too hard to redress these things in his work.

The trick is in the application. Most of our "industrial lego" is for making mostly rigid things with some spinny parts and a few, mostly passive sproingy/squishy bits. However, we ourselves are mostly sproingy/squishy and a lot of that is dynamic.

By the same token, most of the tooling and parts for building airplanes isn't all that useful for building orinthopters.

So it's not just knowledge. It's knowledge expressed in the form of industrial infrastructure and products.
In the United States bigger is better.

A big car fits more people and cargo. They're safer in a crash (if you ignore single vehicle accidents and especially rollovers). Finally it's a status symbol: bigger generally means more impressive and expensive. Americans don't share their salaries and directly bragging is faux pas, but we tend to signal social-economic status through property.

This applies for languages which can do static type checks.

In JavaScript, there's no assurance that the object you've got even means 'area' to be a number. It could be a string indicating which warehouse the Box is in.

So yes, you bloody well bump the major version number and the consumer needs to check the errata. Pretending to maintain compatibility when you're actually messing with the meaning of things is not something which should be done silently. What happens when someone calls the 'area' setter? Does it trust the width or the height...?

Still, 3% is not just a little loss, it's a big loss. This is into the low end of the reward checking range which comes with lots of strings attached. It doesn't matter if they think they're targeting millenials, once the word is out it will be exploited to the extreme, and it's either going to end in a few months or there will be severe capacity limits so that you can't just park money there. You can bet on that.

They would build a convenience or surcharge into it one way or another. A food delivery service near me adds a delivery fee, tip option, AND has drastically increased prices even compared to the restaurants normal delivery service. Passing it off as a tip is probably a way to make it less offensive to the American consumer who is used to tipping service people.

I think the loss case they're protecting you for is more

"I bought 100 shares of Acmecorp, then Robinhood shuttered their doors and said they sold the shares to fund their yacht."

The SIPC's job there is to reimburse you for 100 shares of Acmecorp as of now; they're not going to let investors cherry-pick and say "but they mishandled the account during the one day it was at its peak and I want that price!"
A huge (from my perspective, at least) unsolved problem with the private members proposal is that you can't use it to build immutable objects, not realistically.

Without private members I can write something like:

class Fruit {
constructor(props = {}) {
Object.assign(this, props)
Object.freeze(this)
}
withSize(size) {
return new Fruit({...this, size})
}
}

Now I can do:

fruit = new Fruit({kind: 'apple'})
// Later:
saveFruitToDatabase(fruit.withSize(20))

This pattern works great, overall, though it isn't performant. With private members, you'd think you could declare them and also update objects using transformations. But private members don't work with Object.assign(), .entries() etc., and aren't introspectively at all. So you can't write withSize() to do partial updates without spelling out all the field names, every time.

Turns out it's quite hard to write robust, performant immutable code in JS. (Yes, I know immutable.js has Record. However, it's not compatible with getters and setters.)
Your definition of broad and of deep need to be reasonable. Once they are, you can study meta learning, then tackle the things you’re interested in or need to know. I’m assuming you’re a software engineer, in which case it’s uncommon to do more than 6 hours a day of quality work. Use the other two in a way that lets your mind relax and yet still learn. Balance study and life outside work. Beyond this advice there is nothing else to reasonably do. Sure you can experiment with polyphasic sleep schedules but that’s completely unreasonable for almost everyone almost always.

Or even better, open a brokerage account with checking functionality, and put it all in a money market fund yielding ~2.15%, which also will automatically increase rates with about a month lag to any increases the fed does.
A lot of what you describe is also done by people going by the engineer label. How much overlap do you see?
The catch is soon there will be a maximum balance or activity requirement, or something to that effect, all of which are not contradicted by their PR sheet. It's otherwise utterly unsustainable.
I have two Siamese cats, one of which does exactly what you describe. So I started testing this a bit and noticed that if she’s facing away from me and looking at me in the mirror and I reach for her from behind like I’m going to scratch her, she will stand up to meet my hand. This seems to mean that she understands that what she’s seeing in the mirror is just a reflection and that when the guy in the mirror is about to scratch the cat in the mirror, it’s actually me that’s about to scratch her.

Something I learn quite recently and most Titanic articles tend not to mention: "The Olympic-class ocean liners were a trio of British ocean liners built by the Harland & Wolff shipyard for the White Star Line during the early 20th century. They were Olympic (1911), Titanic (1912), and Britannic (1915).

Unlike the other ships in the class, Olympic had a long career spanning 24 years from 1911 to 1935. " [1]

The Britannic was sunk by an explosion caused by a naval mine, apparently planted by a WWI German submarine.

And the Titanic... well, we all know what happen to the Titanic, don't we... :-P

EDIT: More wiki-trivia [2]

* The titanic was 269.1 m long.

* The largest ship these days (the Seawise Giant) is an oil tanker 458.46 m long.

* The largest passenger ship: the Oasis (362 m long).

Also to clarify something, it technically wouldn't be a closure since -

A closure is an inner scope that has a references to its outer scope.

It happens any time a function is created (technically, even global). That actually even goes for “IIF(Instantly Invoked Functions)”, since the function is created first (has references to its outer scope) and THEN is called (two separate “events” in js). The call is not part of the function decl/expr and therefore comes next. Between the two there’s a gap and that’s where you’d say there’s a closure. After that call the reference to the function ceases to exist and the garbage collection tears down the function and with that the closure too.
