Well, I suppose nothing can really guarantee quality--the requirements simply make it more difficult to screw up.

For instance, pulling from this article[0]:

>In the highly sanctioned world of Parmigiano-Reggiano, cows graze in pastures; their diet must consist of at least 75 percent local grass. Here in the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t mandate diet, and cows typically aren’t pastured; manufacturers reported using various feeds, including hay, corn, soybeans, and grains.

...

> Another factor: raw versus pasteurized milk. In Italy, Parmigiano-Reggiano is always made from raw milk. In the States, the milk is typically pasteurized first. This step kills off potentially dangerous organisms and yields a more consistent product. The downside? The heating process also kills off flavorful microorganisms.

...

>The aging step affects both flavor and texture. Once the wheels come out of the salt bath, they’re set on racks in climate-controlled rooms to age. As the cheese sits, lactic acid forms, and the acid causes proteins in the cheese to squeeze together, which in turn forces out moisture. Parmigiano-Reggianos are required to age for at least 12 months, though most are left for 24. Meanwhile, the FDA mandates a minimum of just 10 months for Parmesan. Thus, the domestic cheeses tended to be rubbery, while the imports were dry and crumbly.

---

So again, you could make a hard cheese that follows none of the requirements but still tastes pretty good. You could also make a Parmigiano-Reggiano that tastes like crap. But if you follow all of the standards, you will more likely come alot closer to replicating the taste of what we associate with Parmigiano-Reggiano than a vat of hard cheese that some guy cooked up in his basement. The standards are specifically there to curtail the shortcuts (less aging, lower-quality ingredients) that unscrupulous companies try to sneak into their cheeses and market as premium, "aged" Parmesan.

AFAIK it does. More than quality is the way they were made.
That said, hiding the POSIX API behind a compatibility layer like WSL can have some major advantages because it means that updates to either side can be done independently. That would mean you can have the unique offering and the compatibility. You could then also look at turning WINE into a compatibility layer for the same functions and have a lot of other software work similarly.
I've theorized for a while about what it would look like to try and build a generic, app-focused layout engine on Canvas. The DOM gives you lots of things for free and has a long history of backward-compatibility, but both of those things come with huge costs in terms of performance and (to a degree) complexity. The fact that the DOM a) is stateful and b) was originally designed for documents, not apps, causes lots of challenges when what you want to build are apps. The entire reason React exists is to try and force the stateful DOM back into a functional paradigm.

I'd be very curious to learn how generic this project's layout system is.

Show HN: CAPROI – A real restate investment tool with pre-calculated CAP rates
We'd like to show you CAPROI [1], a real estate search platform that has the CAP rate of every property in the US pre-calculated. By using the CAP filter you can set your desired CAP rate and only look at properties that would have the specified return on investment. So when an investor is looking to invest they can target the properties with highest returns. We started a month ago or so and collected about 100MM listings as well as rental data, crime statistics, neighborhood data, surrounding stores, unemployment rates, population growth and every other piece of publicly available that we could think of. We'd appreciated your thoughts and don't hesitate to reach out to me directly s@caproi.com

Chinese chipmaker Fujian Jinhua to halt output after US charges of theft
Another example of the enormous amount of physics and engineering which went into old-fashioned storage media that we took for granted.
I've been working out of a co-working space for the past six years. Pros:

* It's a physical space away from home. That helps create a mental separation which helps me focus.

* You're around people in the same grind as you. When I was working on a startup, I could share war stories with other founders.

* Leads - when I started consulting, I got my first couple leads from others in the co-working space.

* Signaling - if you're a business, it's important to signal that you run a professional establishment. Sometimes I'll book a meeting room with a new client at the space just to signal this.

Cons:

* They can be noisy, especially if you are around sales folks. I've only been to open seating spaces however so my view is limited.

* They can be costly. I lucked out here - I used to pay $400/month for a dedicated desk in NYC and I pay $150/month now for a floating desk. These prices are way below the norm for the area.

All in all, worth it IMO.
Haskell type classes are great for most situations, except when they fail it can be quite spectacular. I think the "magic" of type classes comes from two things:

- All instances are thrown into one global namespace, so we don't need to worry about where to find the right one.

- There can be at most one instance per type. Hence there's no ambiguity about which one to pick.

These make it easy for the machine to pick the correct instance automatically. Unfortunately, it also means that every time we import or upgrade a library, there's the chance that it will break things by exposing an instance that clashes with what we have.

The "backpack" stuff looks interesting in this regard, although it seems very over-engineered (mostly due to legacy concerns).

>I don't think there will be any tectonic shifts in userbase

Unrelated to this post, I'm quite interested in knowing how Canonical's move has worked out so far. Does anyone know if they've got customers at any meaningful scale who are using ZoL ? Or is Canonical contributing to ZoL ? There may not be an immediate shift in userbase, but Canonical can certainly make a more comprehensive bid to future customers with their overall offering that also includes ZoL, compared to a specialty storage provider that supports ZFS on FreeBSD.

When I left AVG Technologies (now owned by Avast) I figured they would try to screw me on this. I copied a line out of the employee handbook, that I had to sign a receipt for and acknowledge I had read, that said "All accrued unused vacation will be paid out in full on an employees termination" sent that line to HR and asked them if they would pay my vacation if I left. They replied, you work in FL which does not legally require us to pay it so no. Anyways, I showed my direct supervisor the email from HR, worked two weeks then took three weeks off. When "I got back from vacation" I turned in my notice and walked out even though the handbook said a two week notice was required... because FL is a right to work state and you do not legally have to turn in a two week notice. We each enjoyed our own groups at AVG but "Corporate" was just evil.
Every time I see a company go belly up and the employees get screwed I wonder why there's not protection for this.

IMHO regular employees should be treated as creditors of first priority for unpaid wages/salary, PTO and any IRA/401k benefits. This should probably include COBRA health insurance for some period of time (this may already be covered?).

This means paying regular employees should come ahead of repaying investors, banks, bondholders, etc. And this should be mandated by law.

Likewise unused PTO should be paid out for all employees who leave a job.

The risk to Nvidia is much lower than ZoL -- Nvidia has the resources to keep up with the kernel. It's maintained in house by the company selling the cards, and they have the resources directly to do development. But just like ZoL, if the Kernel makes more and more breaking changes, Nvidia would eventually make the business decision to cut the proprietary driver loose. However that threshold is likely much higher for a profitable company than a community funded project.

But the real price of being an external module is very clear for Nvidia proprietary driver issues. If you look at distro and kernel bug reports, you'll see piles of reports for Nvidia driver users, which devs won't look into because of the tainted kernel. Some Linux software even blacklists Nvidia driver users from using graphics hardware acceleration for their apps, because it causes so many bugs. Nvidia is operating outside of the open source ecosystem, which means they don't benefit from that ecosystem like open source implementations do. When an Nvidia driver user runs into a bug, they're usually just told to shove off and not use the driver.
I don't eat cheese regularly and I can taste the difference between Parmigianno Reggiano and Grana Padano when I eat them as-is (not when shaved in a pasta though -- it's harder when it's in a pasta, which is why GP is often used as a cheaper substitute for PR). Otherwise PR tastes much "nuttier" owing to glumates, which is also one of its standout characteristics.

There's another cheese, Pecorino Romano, that's distinctly salty and really good on Carbonara.

They don't.

https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/2017/05/24/permanent-vacation...

"For similar reasons, more employers are also experimenting with open or unlimited leave policies, which can offer the same benefit. The general idea of an open or unlimited vacation policy is that the employee doesn’t really accrue or earn a set amount of leave per pay period or year. Rather, leave is unlimited and may be subject to few, if any, restrictions beyond supervisor approval and a reasonable assurance that assigned duties, projects, clients, and other workload-related details are managed during the worker’s absence.

Here, because employees are not accruing a set number of wage-equivalent hours per pay period, no compensation interest vests. After all, you can’t very well pay out “unlimited” vacation at termination."

shows how weak china's position is as a global competitor. a tariff on goods made in china will obviously cause manufacturers to move out of china. why wouldn't they do that? the tariffs are actually very very very effective.
Unlimited in jurisdictions with legal minimums is set at the minimum in my experience. They usually say "You get unlimited vacation and are expected to take a minimum of X weeks per year".

I've never seen a company the doesn't track time off regardless of their policy.
> It does not surprise me that most applications adopt FP. Because most people think procedurally and start applications with a top-down mindset, the outer-most layers (use cases) tend to be modeled first where a FP approach makes sense. This then just carries through the rest of the application.

Did you mean "OOP" instead of "FP" here? First, I think more applications adopt OOP than adopt FP. Second, I find it hard to go from "most people think procedurally" to "therefore they wind up at FP".

Redux is a nearly-ubiquitous complement to React, not an alternative. Redux handles the data, React handles the interface.

Vue got a lot of attention on Hacker News because it was new, but it has plateaued with at most 1/8th of React's market share. It is not going to be replacing it. React is more dominant than any JavaScript technology has ever been except maybe jQuery (whose responsibility was a lot narrower). It's not my personal favourite, but I appreciate having a de-facto standard across almost everything I have to work on.

Google is mostly irrelevant to this discussion: they have extreme Not Invented Here syndrome and cling to terrible in-house technologies for front-end development. (They have been gradually increasing their React adoption over the last few years, but it will probably remain small.) They were once the world leader in JavaScript development, but they haven't treated it seriously and are now significantly worse than all of their competitors. If you go to Google, you're committing to learning a lot of non-transferable knowledge (in addition to a lot of valuable practices).
It really shouldn't be called "unlimited PTO". Something like "unguaranteed vacation" would be more accurate.

Replying to you again because I addressed your latter point, but not the first.

I absolutely agree there are things that could be changed to make life better for many people.

However, you live in the present, under the rules as they are. And from there you gain leverage to change the future.

Living as if the rules were different when they aren't just sets you up for failure.

It's the whole idea of "be so good they can't ignore you".
You'll forgive my skepticism in thinking that the folks who would be affected by confiscatory estate taxes will simply resort to more complex structures to avoid it--trusts, corporations onshore or off-, etc. Moreover, it isn't a settled matter that high estate taxes are per se "fair."

They could, but a lawsuit against them would be an easy slam-dunk. When a company signs an employment contract with you, they're bound by the terms of that contract, until both parties agree to amend it. They can't just discontinue some benefit at any time without subjecting themselves to a possible lawsuit.

In about 2010 I was selling refurbished Brookstone foot massagers on eBay. I could buy them in the outlet mall by my house (one of two in the country) for $200 and sell them for $300 on eBay. It was amazing how quickly the market adjusted; eventually, we were buying foot massagers by the pallet from the Brookstone outlet. Sometimes we couldn't buy any because someone else already bought the pallet! Eventually Brookstone raised their prices. :)

A year later I did a similar thing with "anti-snoring mouthpieces". The product was effectively a mouthguard, a popsicle sticks, and instructions for molding it. A few branded companies were selling this product for $80. I imported the exact same product from Alibaba for $3 each and sold them on eBay for $15 each. I had a box of 300 of them and every day I would put one or two envelopes in the mail until the box was empty.

In unlimited PTO schemes, you don’t earn/accrue any vacation time, so there’s not technically (nor legally) any to pay out.

In some HR systems you’re basically lazy-provisioned PTO time as it’s taken, so your amount of accrued PTO Time is always reconciled at the same amount of PTO time taken, leaving the available balance at zero.

In other systems, you technically have zero days of PTO available, and when you use it your balance goes negative. Which gets zeroed out at the end of the year.

In both cases, your PTO balance is never greater than zero, so you never have any unused days that would be subject to pay out.
