In the last few months we have made quite a few improvements to data storage and indexing. Features that are available by default in 2.0, which are significant changes from releases earlier than, say, 1.6 include:

- Significant TSM encoding and decoding performance improvements.
- The TSI index will be on by default.
- Queries that use the same tag key/value filters will be answered from the index more quickly using an LRU cache.
- Field keys will now be indexed in 2.0, making filtering/grouping on field keys more efficient.
- Improvements to how series are extracted from the index, and points data from the TSM engine, which helps with memory performance for queries.
- Significant performance improvements to measurement deletion.

> And can data points be incremented instead of the current field-replacement crap when you get new points with the same tag set?

Can you elaborate on that?
How do you measure "innovation"?

We tend to measure it by how much money it earns. I think we could get away from that.

I'm interested in new methods for thatching homes, for instance. Maybe I'll find a weave that helps oaten straw last twice as long. It would never produce a meaningful economic benefit, but it would still be an innovation that enriches humanity,

Replying to my own comment since it's too late to edit:

I don't mean avoid fats, I mean avoid extracted fats. Oils lack fiber and much of the nutrition that the whole food has. I.e. eat olives over olive oil, avocados over avocado oil, etc. I understand it sounds crazy, and yes it's not easy, but for my family's health it's been worth it. We've all found great benefit in different ways.

Also Dr Greger's "How Not to Die" book is a better source than the YouTube video I linked.

Presumably the anonymization needs to happen prior to collection for it to be effective?
The ReasonML ecosystem is quite confusing for newcomers. ReasonML could be compiled to a binary out of the box thanks to the OCaml toolchain. Pesy is a tool for making native development easier.

Ignoring for the moment the insanity of Brexit in the first place, I'm particularly unimpressed that it also includes leaving ECHR. That was never mentioned until much later as the "hard Brexit" madness got going.

The Tories must have forgot it was their beloved Churchill who was a huge advocate for its creation and promoted it from the end of the war and through the 48 Congress of Europe. Atlee's Labour was against it, whilst the Conservatives signed it for the UK in 51 or 52.
I don't understand why people hate CR.

You're a professional you should be able to defend your code, and explain your reasoning. If you can't, you need to change it, and you'll improve at the same time.

I mean most changes in code review only take 5 minutes to rectify, so I often don't buy the time argument.

If you getting bit architectural change problems in your code review, you obviously didn't collaborate with the team very well... People should roughly know what your approach is before the CR even arrives at their door

I'm sure it varies a lot between countries. When I did my masters in Ireland in 2011, the total fee was €5,000. Back then, there was a local government grant that covered the fee plus some living costs. Those grants are harder to get today though.
Huh, Europe is pretty big - where are you? I moved from the US to Europe (Ireland) and I'd say social mobility _seems_ higher here. There's still a definite class structure, and access to good schools remains an issue, but if nothing else the low-paid are paid more here and the high-paid are paid less. And we're one of the most unequal countries in the EU!

My problem with that is that my frames needed adjustment few times after I bought them(they felt fine in the shop, but after few days they felt a bit too tight).

I am pretty sure laptops (and other computers) are a vanity project for Apple at this point. They need some way for people to be able to write iPhone apps, and the history of Apple kind of makes it difficult to say "buy the latest version of Windows and use our Visual Studio plugin", so they make Macs. But I'm not sure it's a good business decision. The number of people that use a computer outside of work seems to be dwindling. Should probably focus everything on making sure they are using an iPhone, not something else.

I'd be curious where you were, if you don't mind. I'm moving near Tullamore soon because I was sick of paying to be in Dublin when there was little real benefit as a remote worker with a kid (not like I get out much)

If nothing else, I heard several different languages at Lidl and there seemed to have people from many different places. But Tullamore is still commutable to Dublin (if only just) and probably not as rural as you'r thinking.

That's only because those countries aren't, in fact, the US. The US is a pretty violent country compared to just about any other first world country. The policing methods employed elsewhere are (IMO) unlikely to work here. It'd be hilarious to send London policemen to Chicago or Detroit and have them "deescalate" things with gangs there.
I mean, yes. If you buy a mac laptop, they should include the usb c -> lightning cable as a courtesy. It's not a cheap machine.

However, it's a small thing, I think, compared to the cost of the mac laptops. If paying $20 for a cable is a big deal, then the macbook pro laptops and high end iphones are not for you.
That's going to be an unpopular opinion on HN, but I really agree. Getting self-driving car to where they are currently is impressive, but the technology isn't close to where it needs to be.

The technology is 90% there, perhaps more, but the last percentages that it will required for this to be a mass market product is going to take 20 or 30 years to reach. The current solutions are built using ideas and research grounded in the field of "Artificial Intelligence", but they are not "true AI".

There's also no AI in your Huawei phone. There's software using machine learning, which is a discipline under the umbrella of "artificial intelligence" as a computer science discipline.
Of course it's never quite that simple.

Now that the supermarkets mostly "won", local bakers, greengrocers and butchers etc are usually cheaper and far better stocked than any of the supermarkets yet of far higher quality. Supermarket prices just aren't competitive any more, as they mostly stopped trying, though of course they beat the open all hours corner shops. Cut price Aldi are now the fastest growing supermarket in the UK. Tesco are laughable on price and quality by comparison with Aldi or Lidl.

There's also an element of having to prefer the one stop shop of a supermarket thanks, in part, to most of us having to have both partners working to survive. I strongly suspect if more couples were still able to support a home and family on one income there'd be many more of those butchers, bakers and greengrocers around and still thriving.

Still, we are where we are, and probably stuck with it.

Many mirrorless cameras only have an LCD screen, so are we saying they don’t have a viewfinder? The context wasn’t your pedantic view of what a viewfinder is, the context was comparing mirrorless cameras to dSLR cameras. I have clearly laid out a case why OPs critique of dSLRs only having optical viewfinders (which they called “analog”) is misguided with extensive examples and a solid basis for my claim. The fact you are so focused on your definition of a single word shows you are trying to “win” the debate rather than be factual and genuine, so I’ll say have a “great day!” and continue on with my life.

My mind was blown when we invested a week in setting up DevOps, then realised it has a critical flaw in that the automated build agent will just go into hibernation if there was no build activity for a few hours. So then you have to write a script that invokes a manual build via the API just to keep DevOps "alive". It's like they forgot to properly setup the IIS Worker Pool timeout values or something.

Again. That‘s their choice and that‘s totally fine in my book. But journalism is a business and no business survives on people not willing to pay.

I completely agree that behavioral targeting can die a premature death and I‘d love to go back to models based on local, contextual or brand-driven advertising.

> With all that said, I do want to address one underlying point. "What's the alternative?", you ask. That's not my problem. That's your problem as a media professional. As a media consumer, I'm perfectly happy to watch the vast majority of media outlets dry up and blow away because they never figured out how to respect the people they purport to serve. I'll stick with the ones that provide me with value I find reasonable and treat me with a measure of respect.

I think we‘re on the same page here. And again that‘s totally fine for you to make this decision. Media companies need to find a sustainable model. At the moment it looks like subscriptions and paywalls are the way to got. Maybe that‘ll change again, but I wouldn't count on it, tbh.
Don't give them ideas...
I've been part of the production crew for small-time musicians doing once-off concerts (approx. 2000 attendees). Between artists (warm up act, main act, guest singers, dancers) and crew, there were probably about 30+ people with backstage access that didn't work for the venue. I can imagine if it was a tour, where all of these people need to travel, then the cost would quickly add up.

So I can absolutely imagine that medium to big acts would be quite expensive.
As usual.

The truth is that Apple hasn't promised anything and delivered nothing.

Interesting your first article also links to studies estimating much more CO2 stems from animal agriculture.

The article's premise that a vegan switch would be catastrophic for nutrition seems to assume we'll not change crops grown. Nor even reduce amount grown despite now having an additional 23% food surplus in mainly corn and soy. Then estimate 2.6% on those assumptions in their model.

Those are some very strange leaps. People will absolutely change their diet to suit, as would manufacturers, and we'd gradually change to a different balance of crops to achieve balanced nutrition. Nor would we expect to just keep on running a 25% surplus indefinitely.
Let's be a little more specific. "Reason Syntax" is merely a new syntax on OCaml, but ReasonML in general has a much larger scope - which includes every part of the toolchain/workflow up to and including package management, IDE integration, source formatting etc and more.

I don't know what you are talking about: my new Samsung phone with USB-C connects perfectly to my Macbook :P

> you shouldn’t have to harvest lots of data for intelligent AI.

Er.... that's not how it works. As a Valve employee put it (a talk about ML recognising cheaters), machine learning is just an equation:

y = f(x)

where you can actually derive the FUNCTION f if you have enough x/y pairs. Without those pairs then most of the successful techniques in machine learning fail to function.

Yes you can generate your own data but generating realistic stuff is a huge can of worms.

The idea of Mac was always “it just works”. You could go to the Apple Store and get everything you needed and know that while it wasn’t cheap, it was amongst the best you could buy. You pay the premium for that experience and you remember how nice it was and come back next time.

Now that experience is broken, you need to shop around and make it work yourself. And if you need to do that then the experience is no better than anyone else’s.

Apple is the most reliable computer manufacturer of all, according to ConsumerReports actual statistics.

Now according to BS fake news that is paid by Apple competition, yes, there are lots of problems with Apple computers (like 3 or 5 people that complained on Twitter), and nothing with Apple competitive products ever (unless it's a widespread recall like with Samsung...)

Also, what's your problem? If you have any problem, Apple will fix it for free. It's called WARRANTY.

Allowing advertisers to target paid subscribers for some very high CPMs is not "selling their data to advertisers".

To be fair, having experienced the Irish culture for a larger part of three years, this sentiment doesn't seem - implicitly - limited to the rural areas. A cursory search on <insert your chosen search engine here> for things like "making friends in Ireland" will demonstrate this.

This isn't to discredit your entire premise about rural life in Ireland, as I've definitely noticed the trends you're speaking of but this particular facet isn't inherenly a symptom of rural life in Ireland but, rather, seems to be a symptom of the overall culture.

(Note: I'm not trying to speak ill of Ireland, whatsoever, just noting my own anecdotal observations compared to what you suggest.)
