What's sickening is devs pretending their broken workflow is important (or should matter) to anyone else, and then getting fussy when it turns out that no, their non-standardized workflow is, in fact, not a standard.

Using .dev for local development is a bug, not a feature. The only reason it was used is because it wasn't yet a TLD . Not because it had some sort of special status as a "Local TLD".
Seems like speed, nerves, and aim would be a whole lot more important than how many bullets you could fire. Check out this [1] clip of the world fast draw championships. The neat thing to do is to go frame by frame. There's just a huge difference in how fast these guys, who presumably are near the top of the game, are firing. And that's when they're firing at a target they've probably done thousands of times - not some guy who's looking back at you with a gun.

And in any case one solid hit on your opponent, and there's a pretty good chance whatever shots he manages to get off after that are probably not going to be the most most threatening / well aimed.

You're probably right, it varies by franchise. I can only speak to the processes of the ones near me. My little brother used to work there and my dad is a big fan of the chili so this topic has come up.
Indeed, if we judge by discussion in the news and proposed legislation, people are falling over themselves to warn about the risk of vaping (often barely mentioning that we have very little data and strong theoretical arguments that the risks should be much less than for cigarettes).
A schedule 1 drug that you can easily find in almost all forests of the Northern hemisphere.
Might be a bit hard to enforce.
EVERY communication from a company that isn’t “thank you for your business” or “invoice attached” is creepy. We need to return to a strict relationship. And I want to have more control: I want key exchange, where once I’ve paid I can revoke your ability to reach me so I never hear from you again unless I want to reach you again.

Company communications out of the blue come off as having an extremely exaggerated sense of self-importance. I have a hard enough time keeping up with friends and other desirable contacts on a regular basis, yet your stupid company thinks I want to see your weekly E-mail spams or “notifications” (read: ads) every day on my phone? (And we all know they’d send you “notifications” every 5 minutes if the damn platform didn’t step in to prevent it.)
Amazing, isn't it? If he can paint so good that experts can't tell him from extremely famous artists...shouldn't his work be valued a lot? I get the novelty on having, say, of one the few DaVinci paintings, but art in itself is valued as well.

>>"On 8 January 1996, shortly after the publication of the Italian edition of his book The Art Forger's Handbook, Eric Hebborn was found lying in a street in Rome, having suffered massive head trauma possibly delivered by a blunt instrument. He died in hospital on 11 January 1996."

> The problem is economic, and the solution must be too.

FB for example is US-based company. Last time I checked you are not forced to accept outside money, get VC rounds or go IPO.

Mark chosen to go the "American path" that is capitalism to the maximum so of course I will lose an argument over why he is trying to maximize profits. But nothing stopped him from building sponsorship agreements with i.e. fortune 500 corps, instead of building bidding platform ala Google.

I'm pretty sure if you would signup fortune 500 and have for example 500 rotating banners, it would give you enough founds to run operations and pay every employee $150,000 salary. Plus having exactly ZERO tracking cookies and ZERO malicious following you JS script. Its quite possible given FB size and reach, but again "this is America, this is business."
Let's take this argument to its logical conclusion. NYC charges all residents an income tax to live in the city. Most other cities don't have such a tax, and this leads to the same prisoner's dilemma. Hence, every city should now be morally obligated to charge the same income tax that NYC does. Similarly for state income taxes as well.

If that sounds absurd, I certainly think it is. Local governments shouldn't be trying to "profit" by taxing its residents and companies. The whole purpose of local taxes is to best serve local residents and companies. If a city/state can better serve its people by lowering its taxes or by offering tax credits for specific programs, it should certainly do so, even if there's no competition involved. There is no prisoner's dilemma here.
That and the availability of machines with enough RAM to waste.
Then where is the similar outcry against caffeine consumption? It's a stimulant too, so if we're going with the unscientific theory of "stimulants cause heart disease" then coffee consumption should be an alarming public health crisis.
I don't think anyone's ignoring evidence with vaping.

Rather, vaping is (from what we know so far) legitimately a far, far healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. The biggest health risk by far isn't the nicotine, it's the smoke, which vaping doesn't have.

It's been framed as a public health question since the very beginning: do the population-wide large health benefits of smokers who can't quit then switching to vaping, outweigh the (as currently understood) much smaller potential health problems with vaping, but which may be taken up by many people who otherwise wouldn't smoke at all? It's a balance of harms.

What I've heard about Juul addiction among college-age kids sounds a little scary. (But then in my generation it was scary binge drinking, and that's fallen significantly over the past 10 years.)

But at the same time, I've seen friends finally be able to give up smoking for vaping, which can only be a good thing given what we know right now.

How does the demand exceed supply? It would mean that the increase in number of people is higher than increase in amount of available housing. It doesn't seem to be the case.

If this is about everyone flocking to areas with best economy then well, it could be a problem for highly paid professionals but hardly for minimum wage workers.
Wait, one of these freelancers worked 63,000 hours on the platform? They must be outsourcing themselves... That's 30 forty-hour work years (divided by 2080 hours in a year).
This reminded me of SQL.

> Say, you want to know [people in SF who eat sushi]....If an application external to a database was executing this, it would do one query to execute the first step. Then execute multiple queries (one query for each result), to figure out what each person eats, picking only those who eat sushi.

A query like that in SQL could also suffer from "a fan-out problem" and could get slow. It's often faster to put subqueries in the From clause than the Select. It's certainly faster than an app taking the rows of one query and sending new queries for each row, as many developers do. For example:

select
p.name,
(
select max(visit_date)
from visits v
where v.person = p.id
) as last_visit
from people p
where p.born < '1960-01-01'

can be slower than:

select p.name, v.last_visit
from people p
join (
select person, max(visit_date) as last_visit
from visits
group by person
) v on p.id = v.person
where p.born < '1960-01-01'

In the second example, you first form a new table through a subquery of the original. This is not what a new programmer would first try. The first example, with the subquery in the Select clause, is closer to the train of thought. Also you would guess that getting the last visit dates of each person is more efficient after you know who to look for (like, only the people born before 1960). But in my experience, it often hasn't been.

Therefore likewise with this San Francisco sushi query, I was thinking that if it were SQL then I would (1) get all people in San Francisco, (2) get all people who like sushi, and then (3) join them, to find their intersection. Lo and behold, I then read that it is the same solution in this humongous graph database:

> The concepts involved in Dgraph design were novel and solved the join-depth problem.... The first call would find all people who live in SF. The second call would send this list of people and intersect with all the people who eat sushi.

A while ago, some posts on HN went around saying that you shouldn't use third-world TLDs for your startup because some of them are unreliable stewards who would put your domain at risk. Does registering a .dev domain make you dependent on Google in the same way that registering a .ly makes you dependent on Libya?
Yes, that's what I'm saying: GP's point is that if you have a secure channel you might as well send the encryption key, but in order to do that you have to be careful about generating it correctly, whereas PAKE give you the possibility to exchange something far simpler.
I remember people calling that a bit of a fiasco... was there anything theoretically wrong with the application of a Dutch auction for that purpose, or was it just that the underwriting community and their clients had every reason to make the situation look bad?
In my opinion, way too many people bend over backwards to defend the rise of vaping through the lens of "better than cigarettes" equating to "healthy".

My view - just like my view with marijuana - we need to do a better job of quantifying the negative impacts of addiction. It is fundamentally a bad thing for your body to be addicted to something, and we normalize that view by engaging in whataboutism; oh, it's just coffee, it's just sugar, it's better than cigarettes and on and on.

There hasn't been enough research on it, it's certainly more opaque for consumers to really know where the ingredients are being sourced and how much nicotine they're actually receiving. These are all bad things, even if it's "better" than combustibles.

That's of course in addition to the extreme shittiness of these companies blatantly advertising to kids, but that's another argument altogether.

FWIW, a lot of people who are really into meat also care about the living conditions of the animals they eat.

And regarding death: the alternative for livestock is not a life of leisure where they get to meander through the country side and nibbling a little here and a little there. No, the alternative is never being alive. And death on a farm is usually much more humane than death in nature.
There is no good reason to use gopher other than for nostalgic reasons.
That's an interesting example. My impression is that most Americans consider raw potatoes to be unpalatable, but not poisonous. It's rare to eat them, but mostly because of taste rather than health consequences. Other countries seem more likely view them as actually harmful. I was surprised in Russia to realize that potato peels were always removed, with the Russians I spoke to being alarmed that Americans didn't worry about eating them. Are you possibly Russian, or at least close enough to incorporate similar cultural views?

This article (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/raw-potatoes) is "fringe" for suggesting that one might eat raw potatoes, but I think summarizes the scientific viewpoint: "Raw potatoes are more likely to cause digestive issues and may contain more antinutrients and harmful compounds. Yet, they’re higher in vitamin C and resistant starch, which may provide powerful health benefits. In truth, both raw and cooked potatoes can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy diet."

Anyway, while not the same as the Amanita Muscaria case, I wonder if there is something close to parallel happening with potatoes, with one culture feeling a particular preparation is necessary for safety, and another thinking it is just a culinary desire.
Not everyone vapes with nicotine though.

Thanks for calling out my mistake on fish vs meat. For what it's worth, I had originally typed "raw meat" but then second-guessed myself and changed it to fish. And my wife wasn't around to correct me.

I'm aware that the article claims that these two went on an exclusive meat diet for a year. I'm saying that personally I don't believe the claim. Alternatively, that it's true but that they accidentally got required nutrition in ways similar to the Inuit.
How do the CO risks compare with the nicotine risks? Because nicotine on its own does raise your blood pressure substantially.
I think it's surprising that they'd be afraid of NYC unions, while operating without issue in Washington which is about just as union heavy as NY.
>Is the KKK going to search through a marketing database to find out where black people live, or are they going to just drive around the neighborhood and see which houses black people go into?

The intelligent ones will figure out the fastest way to get what they want or maybe some foreign government interested in impacting an election will send them a list of targets.

>The information flows both ways. We could also use location data to see who regularly attends KKK meetings and who was at the house at the time a cross was burned in the yard and then arrest them, which is ultimately going to be more effective in stopping things like that from happening.

Attending a KKK meeting is not illegal and turning off your cell phone during the crime is easy.

Furthermore, the police are not angels but merely people. If you make it easy for the police to get this information then they will abuse it against those they don't like. Like the FBI threatening Martin Luther King.

It's most telling that the two writing this piece are from the US. British medical opinion, and previous Guardian pieces, seem to boil down to it's good as it's not tobacco and that vaping is far more successful at getting people to quit whilst dramatically less harmful.

The "common knowledge" around vaping is dramatically different on each side of the Atlantic

That was the exact issue Google found itself in. Every OneBox had their own backend, which meant many different teams were involved in running and maintaining them.

Now, with the graph serving system in place, all they need to do is to slap a new UI for the vertical, while the backend remains the same. Of course, there's real effort involved in building a new UI for the vertical, but it's a lot smaller compared to building a whole stack for each vertical.

Not to mention, just the movie vertical itself has many "types" of data. Movies, Actors, Directors, Producers, Cinematographers, etc. -- all of these have different properties. By the time one is done flattening all of these into relational tables, they've built a custom graph solution -- which is what happens repeatedly in companies.
The real question to my mind is why people need multiple part time jobs instead of a single full time job.

My assumption is that the fixed cost for a full time job is high enough that paying someone less then some amount doesn't make financial sense. Further there's a group of people out there getting part time jobs because the pay they'd get is less then that amount.
I did too. You couldn't get a meal in the neighborhood, save for awful Chinese or PR food.
"Travel from NY to LA over the weekend" was probably not a very common demand needing a massive investment in air travel infrastructure and equipment circa 1900. User demand is bounded by the capability of the tools commonly available.
Yeah, this is a Cortex-R replacement, meant for deeply embedded, but not as gate conscious as Cortex-M.
In DSP when you implement a filter you typically have conflicting requirements. If you have a particular transfer function you wish to approximate, FIR is one choice. It is relatively easy to synthesize, and has linear phase response, and no ringing (Finite Impulse Response is the name, after all). However, it may take many more “taps” (delay stages) to implement as compared to an IIR. Sometimes, you care about the extra resources required (making it fit into your FPGA) but more often you can not tolerate the latency of all of those delay stages.

With IIR, you typically have much lower latency because it requires many fewer stages to get the same-ish transfer function. Tradeoffs: ringing, perhaps problematic phase response, more complicated synthesis problem.
Around a third of smoking related deaths are from any cancer (not just lung disease), a third from heart disease, and a third from COPD. The most recent attorneys general report has the exact estimates.

Overall though, cancer is what I’d be by far the least concerned about with respect to vaping.

26 Time Saving Tips for Vue
There appears to be a very basic error in this writeup. I say there appears to be because it seems to be so easy to misunderstand language used in casual descriptions of quantum mechanics. Neither I nor the writer is a lawyer. My apologies if I misunderstood what was written. My experience here in general is when something seems very clearly wrong, it is my misunderstanding. None the less...

Quantum mechanics does not say a particle can be in two places at the same time. A wave function does not say a particle is at point A AND point b. The wave function says the particele is at point A OR point B.

To take this a step further, if the particle has an electric field, then the wave function would look like the following:

(particle at A AND electric field around point A) OR (particle at B AND electric field around point B)

The wave function would NOT be:

(particle at A OR particle at B) AND (electric field around A OR electric field around B)

And also not:

(particle at A AND particle at B) AND (electric field around A and B)

Presumably the same applies to a gravitational field.
I'm not sure if it's me as I have plenty of free time as an independent consultant. I think it's more about friends. I have a good time socializing with 18 year olds because they can dump their time into socializing. It's a lot harder chatting with someone in their 30s.

Given that nicotine has been known to have harmful effects since the first time it was isolated, nearly 200 years ago [1], that is not an unreasonable approach to take. Just because it is being delivered in a slightly different mechanism doesn't mean that the previous research in entirely inapplicable. If I know that banging my head against a brick wall hurts, it is reasonable to assume that banging my head against a wooden wall will also hurt.

> Classic Shell is no longer maintained. It works okay-ish today, but while it was still maintained, its developers had to regularly fix it, because it does rely on undocumented APIs. It's a pretty safe bet that it won't work in the 2020 release, and I'm not aware of any good alternative.

First of all they did continue it on a fork, but in any case, what's this obsession with recent commits? Lack of recent commits means broken software? Have you actually used Classic Shell? I've been using it for years on Windows 8 and 10 and it's been working fine on both despite the lack of maintenance. In my mind it didn't need any.

Interesting thanks for the answer. From what you said it feels like it could be good for AVX-like CPU accelerated instructions with all those latencies it would be an optimization like loop unrolling ; but for GPU, really ?
Gopher menus are quick to parse and interact with even on very constrained systems, and the protocol is very simple. Given some of the other responses in this thread, I don't think those things are simply "nostalgia."

I think you could argue that gopher has few practical uses, and while (as a Gopher user) I don't personally agree, I think the position is defensible depending on what your use cases are. But Gopher is a good example of how a minimal protocol can still offer services of some reasonable basic functionality, and I think that's worth something more than reminiscence.
One criteria I've seen used to price domains as "premium" is shorter names and popular dictionary words. Not sure if this is consistent across registrars, but I would think "premium-ness" is established at the registry level.

It's unclear to me if premium-ness is a function of time, and/or if there's an objective formulaic criteria here.
