I know other comments are pointing out reasons this is not true but honestly it feels that way to me too.

All of my Christmas presents this year were bought on Amazon and delivered direct to my family who live 400 miles away within a day of me ordering them.

Even some of the categories of things other people have listed as things people don't buy online are things I do buy online. Tools for example, if I'm buying something to get a job done I'll pick up something from the catalogue type stores (Screwfix / Toolstation in the UK). On the other hand if I'm buying a decent tool to last I'll pick it out online, usually after reading and watching reviews, and then looking around to find the cheapest price for the exact model.

I was buying a pair of trainers for my partners Christmas. She picked them out on a big department stores website. I went to the store and they didn't keep them in stock. I tried 3 other stores in one of the UKs largest shopping centres and they didn't have them in her size. I tried another shop in a different part of town which didn't have them and finally gave up and ordered them on Amazon. They arrived 2 days later (this only a week before Christmas).
Progressive (when used in the context of taxes), does not mean this. It means that contribution increases progressively with income. What you are describing are redistributionary taxes. A flat tax of 10% on all incomes could still redistribute all of what the rich pay to the poor.
Clojure is a language, it is not necessarily bound to the JVM (although the common implementation is the one using the JVM). Like CPython to Python.

The JVM also brings with it the entire JVM ecosystem which makes clojure very practical.

Finally, there is actually an implementation of clojure for the browser (clojurescript) - which is a better idea than anything I've seen on the front-end (react-redux is OK, but clojurescript wrappers to react are just awesome). There is also an implementation for the CLR.

Clojure runs everywhere, it has a rich ecosystem since it utilizes good hosts (JVM, CLR, js engines (with google compiler optimizations)). It is, IMO, the most practical lisp out there.
...on the real estate side take a look at CoStar. Little known, commercial real estate company, 12B+ and has a monopoly. Very smart people and they don't get much turn over. They will make smart acquisitions.
One of Sears remaining valuable assets, though, is the real estate left over from its standalone stores. That's one of the bones that the creditors are salivating over.
>Uber doesn't buy and own the car, which means it requires much less capital. This small change has many implications, and the tech helps solves many of the problems that come up.

that can go both ways:

If I have to buy a fleet of cars big enough to cover my area and write an app and advertise to compete with uber, that sounds like an expensive proposition.

If all I have to do is come up with an app and the advertising, that sounds rather less daunting.
Spoken like someone who is not poor.

So you'd kill advertising and content for everyone else just because you're personally willing to fork up money?
There is some empirical evidence. I can't find it now but I've seen research showing Lisp beating all languages in terms of speed of creating some programs from scratch by both experienced Lisp developers and students new to the language. Obviously no research for large projects, those can only be researched through things like github data, etc.

I believe the course list has plenty that do match what the OP is looking for. For example there are several on real analysis, graduate-level optimization and other subjects like that. As well as much easier subjects.

Don't know the OP's exact level or prereqs (he mentioned in another post he had a rough go with both apostol & spivak) but there seem to be several classes that would match his needs/curiousities. The classes might not be at your particular level, but since mixing/matching seems possible I think it would cover a lot of ground.

WeWorks innovation is coming up with an office rental "product" that has high demand not being met by the market. Most property owners want long term leases because vacancies cost them money. Most freelancers and small businesses want short term, month-to-month, fully furnished office spaces.

I think they're overvalued, and they'll be in trouble if a recession hits. But coworking spaces do fill a need in the real estate market, one that's likely to grow, and WeWork is the market leader.

It holds because you can demonstrate its utility on a small network.
Thought it was about the limits of netbios and appletalk, but lack of tcpip is probably another factor. I worked with netware/ipx at the time.
As you say, I'd question the technical motivation for enforcing uniqueness on unicode data in the first place (and as a primary key on top of that???)

However, if someone really wanted to accomplish this, they could probably use PostgreSQL's functional indices and unicode normalization to do it.
That's some good insight, definitely need to bail the water out first. Prime example that comes to mind is Gibson: get rid of money-losing electronics (Teac, et. al.) and go back to making instruments. Even that might not save you, but it's a shot.

I could see Lampert doing the first part, stop the bleeding, but once that was done perhaps he was stumped with the "now what?" part. OTOH, AutoZone has been going big guns for a while now, what do I know? :-)

Case in point: I'm self taught and have a junior manager job in software engineering. I had a lot of good resources and got some guidance, but I never went to a boot camp or had a dedicated mentor. It was just a lot of "learn something, apply it as much as I can to the job I have, keep learning, keep trying to understand the big picture." Eventually I developed enough knowledge to get hired as a programmer and moved up from there.

Pretty much in agreement here, although I do find it more convenient to buy appliances through the big box store's website than to go in person and spend an hour guiding an associate through the options in their arcane inventory system.

There's video compression going on when they do that. If that's what you want, VNC works just fine.
This is a terrible headline, belying the fascinating content inside.
That's probably because you used BSD sed. Running it on my BSD sed also gives an error, presumably because it thinks the `}` is a part of the label in `binput}`.

However it works fine in GNU sed, and now that you mention it, GNU sed's extensions were not used, like the `-z` flag to slurp all input in one "line" to avoid `:input;$!{N;binput}`.
It is a big shift and I could be wrong. However, horses are also something we used for transportation going back to the beginning of recorded history... (lots of other examples too).

Crypto has a lot of aspects that make for a superior store of value (easy to move, seizure and censorship proof etc). Obviously, also has some drawbacks too like difficulty to custody...
> Firstly, wishing to see how library changes will cause issues in downstream consumers is often a sign of very deep problems, because the library designer should be free to make changes or enhancements as they deem necessary to solve the problems they need to solve, which may require validating new changes don’t introduce unexpected problems for consumers, but, critically, also may not involve that, and in fact the usual case should be that it doesn’t involve that.

...

> In particular, this is what actually reduces “mayhem” as you put it in dependency upgrades, because the standard of doing it implicitly when there is a green merge is just a form of putting your head in the sand and acting like the library author can trust green merge status as a reliable indicator that downstream consumers can auto-accept new changes, when really only those downstream consumer team devs actually know if that’s true or desirable.

The only reason for a library's existence is to help solve problems for consumers. I would say that if the usual case does not involve worrying about issues for consumers then whether or not you choose polyrepo or monorepo is the least of your issues.
But you get tactile feedback. Rubbing your fingers together feels very tactile.
You own your own data in a "gaia hub" where apps have to have permission to write this data to your hub, permitted you give it to them. This way, if you ever leave graphite, or any other app in the eco system, you still have your data in the gaia hub.

You can use the gaia cli to list all the files you have.

You can host your own gaia hub, or have a default hosted configuration, but still it is associated with your username/identity.

We are working on gaia hub migrations so you can easily migrate data from one place to the other. Soon we will have images to auto launch on most cloud hosting platforms. The docker-compose files should allow for setup on a local server as well. I am prioritizing users hosting gaia hubs on their own servers over any cloud host provider.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

But yes, the entire idea is centered around #2.
ICU isn’t the solution. If a bug in its collation routines is found, it likely will be fixed. You don’t want that if retrieving your data requires perfect stability of string comparisons.

The only real solution is to have your own collation routines, test the hell out of them for every release (you don’t want a compiler bug or the fixing of a compiler bug to introduce a subtle change in your collation code. The truly paranoid also worry about bug fixes in hardware), and to never stop supporting a collation, once you have ever released a product using it.

That’s what many databases do and why, for example, SQL Server has two binary collations. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/co...: ”There are two types of binary collations in SQL Server; the older BIN collations and the newer BIN2 collations. In a BIN2 collation all characters are sorted according to their code points. In a BIN collation only the first character is sorted according to the code point, and remaining characters are sorted according to their byte values. (Because the Intel platform is a little endian architecture, Unicode code characters are always stored byte-swapped.)”)
Honestly, I'm not even sure. After watching the nvidia youtube video, I retract the statement. This is pretty amazing.

This makes me wonder... what happens if you open a Sears card (yesterday) and max it out with all kinds of fun stuff and then Sears goes out of business? Does someone come after you for money?

At Kodak in the 1970's, my father devised the "Bayer filter" used in digital cameras. At the time, he wrote a research system for image processing in sed.
It seems like a really weak correlation to say that location, quantity, or style of office campuses has anything to do with company success.
If a restaurant is located in an area that has no customers interested in better ingredients or food, then it will lose business to competitors. And Sears' customer experience has been terrible for a couple decades, but from all accounts I've heard it was great in its heyday. What changed, and this is my conjecture of course, is the introduction lower cost options such as Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon, etc, that revealed that Sears' clientele were not willing to pay a premium for their products in exchange for whatever extra Sears was offering (in this case I'm assuming better staff at the stores via Sears offering better pay and benefits).
Well, for the most part prosperity comes from work. After 40 hours a week of work, each extra 10% of time worked leads to something like 40% extra income. Those that do reach into upper management positions with larger corporations tend to have spent 15 years of 60-hour work weeks.

I'm not saying that this is always the case, or that those are even the best priorities to have. But effort, success and wealth are definitely correlated. There are far more upper-middle to upper class people that put in their time, energy and effort. And far more than the occasional ass that never really worked a day in their life.

Here are some rules to follow...

* Don't have kids before marriage
* Don't marry anyone you can't get along with
* Stay together when you have kids
* Prioritize your family's needs above your own wants

Married/involved parents (plural) are the single biggest correlation factor to financial success.

Edit: I say this as someone in their 40's who has never fathered a child, but been a step-parent and a couple of failed marriages. In the end, a huge portion of the population has irresponsible, even narcissistic, parents.
I have said this before. Auto manufacturers are not the greatest at security. Jeep was not exactly receptive to fixing its hacked vehicles until it was exposed at blackhat. I agree, someone is going to do something simple like hack whatever main system is talking to all the cars and do something simple like tell all of them to accelerate and that is their last order.

Can we all trust the car companies to do their due diligence and have all their software audited. Do we trust their proprietary algorithms?

At least when i am driving myself i know what is going on in my head. Yes it might sound a little conceded, but who do you really trust.

Also as a side mark (to get me downvoted :) ), i can understand automatic braking and some of the other things, but if you need the machine just to help maintain your lane for you...you probably should not be driving (i seriously work with someone who praises their car for helping them not drift out of their lane).

Why are you assuming I'm "suggesting it's preferable"? Put down the pitchfork for a moment! I'm not arguing that Chinese-style communism is a better system. I'm arguing that the belief that western values and economics are the only path to prosperity is incorrect.

I'd rather live in the American system. I'm sure there are a lot of people who grew up in China and would rather live in the Chinese system.

As for your laundry list of "China bad!", I could come up with counterexamples of the US doing the exact same things at various points in our history. Chill.
Frankly, I think that the burden of proof is on anyone who claims that online discussion boards are a snapshot of the FOSS community.

That said, anecdotally, very few of the FOSS developers I've worked with are active Redditors or HNers or whatever.
Qt also has a renderer that's simply superior by design for embedded use cases. A web engine has to bent over backwards to do anything comparable.
I've seen this too. A politics podcast I listen to on Spotify played me some targeted get-out-the-vote messaging about my local & state races in November. I'm assuming Spotify provides them that data via customer's billing addresses. Or maybe they get it from location sharing via Waze (which has Spotify integration).

Static languages are still complete blubs compared to lisps as far as practical metaprogramming goes. And Common Lisp's type system is much less of a blub in that regard.
Can I interest you in a very Delphi-like IDE for building web apps with nothing but Python?

https://anvil.works has a WYSIWYG visual designer, with Python for in-browser code as well as server-side. (We compile it to JS.) It's even got a built-in DB if you want it (Postgres-backed). Everything in one language, full front-to-back autocompletion...all the things we missed about Delphi!
Partners increase failure cases too. Arguments, differing visions, different commitments.

Pros and cons to both paths.

I think the biggest reason not to go solo, is not many people are good at both the tech AND talking to customers and thinking big picture.
This is a poor attitude to assume about artists (I'd also challenge your assertions that 99.9% of people in rock groups "love" dealing with broken down vans, shady promoters, and trying to understand the nuance of record deals). They're putting in hard work just as anyone, and even if they love what they do, they're doing it to make a living. This type of thinking that devalues art and artists.

Art is not a hobby, it's not a labor of love, it's a profession just like web development or project management.
I think I can summarize my thinking on this pretty succinctly: I want to build a product, not tooling for software development, and I certainly don't want to spend any time trying to keep different repos synchronized, etc.
I thought this as well until I heard a counter-point [0] which was very convincing.

The reason Amazon is successful is not because you can shop online (from a catalog) and receive items in the mail. The reason Amazon is successful is because you can do those things and receive your items within two days. Before Prime existed, Amazon had very quick fulfillment, and after Prime two-day it became even better.

The Sears catalog ended in 1993 but the Sears Wish Book continued to exist after that. In 1999 I remember ordering something from the Wish Book required 3 weeks to receive the item. If they didn't have the desire to improve that, then they would never have become Amazon.

> If anything, Sears was the worst positioned to become Amazon. What they had was just completely wrong and more of a burden than a benefit. Had they tried to retool with their massive catalog it likely would have been a disaster. Amazon had a real benefit starting small with just books which let them learn the ropes on the cheap. [0]

I think this is especially relevant here on HN because it shows how startups are required to solve problems. For many problems, a behemoth company has no reason to improve, and a lean startup can rush to a solution faster in many cases.

I dislike advertising more than I like the modal podcast I listen to. Isn't the question obvious? Why do people pay for any <X> and not <Y>? Because they've decided <X> is a better buy. The real surprise here shouldn't be that I or anyone else holds that view, it should be that podcast providers pursue a revenue strategy that makes their customers take money they're clearly willing to spend on podcasts and spend it elsewhere to make podcasts enjoyable.
> If you expect payment for a service, give your "customers" an opportunity to support you directly.

...but if that option isn't available, that makes stealing ok? "Hmm, I like this podcast but I don't like the ads. There's no premium support option. Therefore... I will consume the content of the podcast without the ads."

I find this line of thinking a bit immoral, to be honest. The moral option is to not listen to the podcast. And before you jump on me asking if its immoral to go to the bathroom during a TV ad break, I'm talking strictly about algorithmic ad-blocking.

It would be like if I had a place setup where you can get a copy of one of my indie video games I've been privately developing after watching an ad. My place has no option to flat out pay for copies of my indie games. But... you really like my indie games so you decide it's okay to just walk in and steal copies of my indie games until I provide you with an option to pay for them.
And by the early 90s Sears had a century of experience as a catalog fulfillment company and had pretty much become synonymous with the concept.
> I'm not a trust fund kid and grew up dirt poor

This applies equally to me.

Here's the thing -- a job that isn't fun and interesting is a job I can't tolerate regardless of how much it pays. Life is too short to suffer on a daily basis.

But I do have a minimum amount of income that I can tolerate as well. I have to earn enough money to live, after all. How much the minimum is depends on the cost of living in my area.

Anecdotal data point, it took me a little over 3 years of nights and weekend learning to go from zero programming knowledge to a full-fledged coding job. That included interim positions where I was using code to solve problems (VBA, R, and SQL especially) but was not a professional coder.
Heeeey, but actually, unicycle is real fun! Sorry for being OT, but I couldn't resist :D it's just that this exercise you mention seems as a seriously fun idea for one of the many unicycle trials competitions :) just I'm not sure if the chewing gum would up the challenge in any way? That said, I wouldn't really compare JS fighting as similar to really fun unicycle tricks ;D Again, sorry for OT :D

Free Pascal has come a long way. When I first messed with it, it lacked generics even though Delphi supported them. Nowadays I can compile Delphi code with generics just fine.

I don't think I personally would want to use Delphi in this day and age, but there's still a lot of useful Delphi/Pascal code out there and it's great to be able to use it on Linux.
Sometimes it's different, sometimes it's not. Tech allowed a company like Amazon to scale. Tech allows a company like Uber to allocate rides vastly more efficiently, tech allows a company like AirBnB to enable property owners to extract more value from their property. But tech doesn't allow Tesla to sell 10x more cars than Toyota (for example).
