> Also, supermarket cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes tend to be pretty good, at least compared to the larger ones. Sure they're not the same as fresh from the garden, but they're still hugely more flavorful.

That's what tells me the parent is right. Those are not _bad_, but they can't be considered as very good products, I swear. Sometime I wish I could just send gift tomatoes by email to random people.
Or maybe you'd be a top notch electrician.

Some people enjoy their craft (or don't want to sit at a desk all day), in the past few decades programming became really hyped but it's not some kind of goal everyone should try to attain.

At some point we'll have to stop with that "technology can and will solve everything" mentality.
I would not call growing "easy" :)
I think I’m just really confused as to what you’re saying. In the browser, you will be able to manipulate the browser DOM directly from wasm. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t think I understand what you mean in this reply.
ETS Isn't TLS and You Shouldn't Use It
I feel the same coming from the UK. Tomatoes in France or Italy are like a whole different fruit/vegetable compared to what we (commonly) get here.
Can we push political pledges onto the top of HN? This isn't a news article or anything of substance.
Those are implications really - as are political ideologies based upon what people do with it. Similarly demographics are a reflection of current society - it doesn't tell you /why/ it is the case.

Pointing out that the true father may have implications for a family and society but that doesn't make genetics a moral question.
One thing I don’t understand: there is a market for high-end soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.

Certain people will pay for food sold in the right context. Why is it so difficult for these producers to find that market?
In general I agree with the sentiment of your comments. I’m not one to dismiss a person’s opinion posted on an internet discussion site due to lack of cited studies. No one can provide studies to back up their views in every instance.

In the context we are talking about media perceptions. One person presents a study that provides an opposite conclusion to another person’s view. That study is 4 years old. Things may have changed in the intervening 4 years and arguments that they have are welcome.
The price is dynamic and usually set by supply and demand. Is there a reasonable way to enforce a decrease? The work week and day have been historically static and more importantly arbitrary. To my knowledge there's very little to support a specific number of hours (per week/day) is optimal, except for upper limits dictated by the limitations of human biology.

Can price drops be forced on things that are in very limited supply, like homes in coveted areas? Or even on products or services that already have very low margins? Would the seller be there next year to tell you how it went?

The technicalities of forcing a price drop feel out of reach while shortening the work week has been done successfully twice already just in the past 100 years. Profitability is still higher than ever.
The best vegetables I've ever eaten were from a street stall in Mumbai, beetroot is actually delicious (I've always disliked it). +1 on your comment about olive oil.

My wild advice would be to try vacations for a while in some cheaper country and focus on your well being(relax, work out, play games, talk to stragers, take dance classes, whatever you like) and see how nice life is.

Having job isn't life goal, don't end it before realising this.

BTW if you feel depression/anxiety it's good to supplement magnessium, vit D and also check testosterone level.

Perhaps. I don't drink coffee, I liked their fruit smoothies, and bagels are bagels. The music used to be generic enough (probably something quiet and instrumental but I honestly cannot recall) that it was not something I registered, but more recently they've played loud country/pop (observed in both Massachusetts and Maryland) that I now avoid them.
I would see it as a stretch to call it “machine learning” justice (ignoring the OCR) but it is automated with an (albeit simple) rule -- and that process is an algorithm.

Like for all machine-learning project, I would recommend ‘Crawl before you run’ and have that project encourage the Justice system to modernise and have basic data-handling processes in place. We’ll get to Orwellian pre-cog soon enough. Right now, let’s get basic things like not arresting homonyms or people who have committed acts that are not crimes anymore.
>I assume Intel realized this "partnership" was not worth China stealing all of its IP and designs only to come up with a competing product that 90% as good and half the price a couple of years later?

No, the US realized they're in a trade war with China, and companies follow suit on their master's orders on both sides.
This will get buried but I am writing in hopes one day google picks this up and someone finds it as facinating as I do.

The thing with tapes is that they have 2 sides. Artists previously utilized that fact in interesting ways. It was a logical way to break up songs or themes.

One of my favorite examples of this is Metallica's black album. The first side begins with enter sandman which has this mellow but building intro. The second side hits hard right at the start with Through the Never. Today, most listeners have no idea how this album is partitioned.
Not saying anything for or against, but whose laws are being broken since it is considered theft?
What kind of analysis is this?

"I'd normally include a range of benchmarks for the board but I had so much trouble running them on the Orange Pi 3, only a few are worth reporting."

Then it goes on:

"Pi 3 recorded an average connection speed of 45.7Mbps via iPerf, a perfectly reasonable result and comparable with the Raspberry Pi 3 boards and the Rock Pi 4. It also racked up a score of 22 on the GLmark 2 GPU benchmark, slightly above a reported score of 18 for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B on Ubuntu 16.04."

They'd better let numbers speak instead of letting emotional writing confirm a weak hardware review.
Have you ever been to France? Because what you say does not accord at all with what the French people I know would say. It’s all about class. There are many fewer black or Arab French who go to good universities and go on to get good jobs but once you’re middle class and not in les banlieues you’re not going to be treated badly because you’re visibly different any more than the Vietnamese are.

Background: Started using vtwm back in the early 90s, then on linux once it became viable. I now have a muscle memory associated with switching and manipulating virtual desktops to the point that I can't even tell you what keys I'm hitting without thinking about it.

Whenever a linux-windows-setup post appears on the HN or reddit front page, I look at it with interest, and then realize that there's no way I'd achieve any productivity gains in a reasonable time.

So maybe the moral of the story is: Choose correctly the first time, because you might be using your wm until you become an old guy/gal too set in your ways to even think about switching.

One of the neat things about aurora is there is a very small slave lag between the primary and read replicas. If you only have a single thread doing replication then you can easily have a situation where a multi-cpu master can get ahead of a slave only using a single thread. Lazily materializing the pages gives aurora 'parallel replication' for free. I think Mysql supports parallel replication now but I think it is limited if transactions conflict [https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/parallel-replication/].

Another thing I noticed with Aurora is the incremental cost of storage for Aurora is extremely cheap compared to the cost of storage in EBS or the cost of storage if you used instance storage in EC2. The Aurora storage is 0.1/GB but this is replicated 6 times which is more than EBS and EBS costs the same 0.1/GB. This also might be why no-one is going to build a similar system to Aurora. It will be hard to sell something like Aurora to cloud users because the storage costs are going to more than what EC2 charges.
Ask HN: IQ Tests for Job Interviews?
I am a software engineer with about 5 years of experience doing mostly JavaScript fullstack. I've now had 2 of what I would call IQ tests, basic pattern recognition kinds of things. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even legal?

It feels incredibly invasive and I cannot see how it has any relevance to the jobs I am applying for.

The Magic of Having Nothing to Lose
Thank you for creating this! I often find I had an idea and then spend 1-2 hours doing NOTHING towards the idea trying to future-proof what I'm writing to the max. That is a trait of mine I need to work on by itself but "zero" should help let convince me to "just try it with zero before you setup TypeScript/Angular/Vue/React/Cordova/Express/etc...". I saw your other comment about making it Apache/PHP level easy and as someone who came from that background and when I first saw a query param displayed in the response from the web (ie: localhost?name=Josh -> Hello Josh!) I was hooked (you can imagine my reaction when I learned what a database was ).

In that vein do you think TypeScript is on the horizon for support? It's not a dealbreaker by any means but it would be nice to just write .ts files and have them automatically compiled (transpiled?). I can write JS just fine but TS's types are a nice sanity check for me.

>I only ask because this was the first model shipped with an Intel modem

7, 8 / X All had a version with Intel Modem. XS is, however the first model to ship only with Intel Modem.

I don't think it has horrendous Data Speed. But it is certainly has a different characteristics to Qualcomm Modem. XS is generally weaker with signals, and we are not quite sure if it was the 4x4 MIMO or the Intel Modem. XR doesn't seems to be as bad so a guess would be due to Apple's implementation of 4x4 Antenna. While ALL phones had problems with 4x4 Antenna in their first generation, that includes Samsung and Huawei, you generally expect Apple, being a year late to the tech would have ironed out most of it.

But generally speaking, a Qualcomm Modem would still get better signal than Intel. This is especially a problem in US where the Cell Tower Density is lower as compared to Asia / EU counterpart.

There has also been 3 to 4 Modem Firmware revision since launch, and likely more to come in iOS 12.2, let just hope ( pray ) Intel's next Modem 7660 is actually better. And Apple could actually put a rounding error budget into their Antenna Design, because as far as Flagship Smartphone is concerned, iPhone has the worst one.

Or Qualcomm will relent and work with Apple again, but judging from the Court testimony this seems highly unlikely.
The time example reminds me of WSGI for Python. Neat that it supports templates too.

On my left side of my screen, I have a series of code windows that I can reach in a tabbed fashion. They're in different code editors. On my right is a notepad stacked vertically with a web browser with documentation. I want to open a new terminal and have everything scoot to the side, then go back to the way it was after I close it. How do I do that with "Super key" + left?

It's something that doesn't seem useful until you've done it for a while, and then it's hard to go back.
Very happy to read about the improvements in releasing memory back to the OS. Hopefully this will help prevent our go apps in containers from getting OOM killed.
There is a difference to objections morally and attempting to have it completely shutdown in the company so no one else can help with what they feel is line with their values. Some believe in protecting and defending their values and freedoms and I'd say most of if not all of those people are anti-war. They know however that if it comes to that; they want their men and women to be better equipped and to hopefully come home safe.

I think this is one thing lost on the protesters.
I'm having trouble understanding why, in a society with ever-advancing technology, why wages would trend with productivity. I'm seeing it like this (and please correct me if I'm off base):

Input = (Labor portion) + (tech & automation portion) + (other portion including things like land, materials, and overhead)

Productivity = output / input

Wages reflect the labor portion's contribution to "input." We know that tech and automation's portion is continuing to increase in relation to labor. Therefore, with this understanding, wages must decrease in proportion with productivity.
Holy shit, that picture at the top is the most propaganda-brainwashed-picture I have seen since looking at old cold war pictures. As if the US is in a good vs. evil fight. Well it might be, but on which side?
Is it just me or did the article play up the "the art of making kioke was almost lost forever" angle a little too much? The world as a whole has certainly not lost the art of making wooden fermentation barrels, as they are still widely used in many other industries, so the worst that might happen is needing to fly in some foreign coopers to examine the kioke and then start making copies using indigenous wood. I get that the Japanese might not count that as entirely authentic because they're heavy on tradition, but the results would be the same. Bacteria are the same everywhere.

I don't think people need to spell out supply and demand every time they indicate that increasing the supply of something brings down prices.

In other words: yes, it is obvious.

I agree absolutely. However, utility is typically expressed as a nonlinear function of wealth, and therefore aggregate utility is even less constrained (further from being even approximately conserved) than wealth itself.
I've recently found that canned tomatoes can be way more flavorful than fresh ones. I've spent the last year or so experimenting with pasta sauce and tomato soup, and have recently settled on "SMT" brand san marzano crushed tomatoes as making a sauce that is 300% better than pre-mixed sauce.

Before starting to boil your noodles, chop a large onion. Get a huge frying pan (I use a deep 16" pan), because you will eventually mix the whole meal into it. Fry the onion with oil and salt. Add mushrooms or peppers if desired. Wait a bit. Push the onion to the side and position the empty side of the pan on the hottest part of the burner, and crank the heat up. Add 1 pound of ground beef (between 80% and 90% lean), and salt and pepper. Fry it until cooked 90% through. Add fresh garlic. Now dump your 18 oz can of delicious crushed tomatoes into it. Wash the can out by filling it 1/4 of the way with water and add this fluid to the pan. Add a small amount of cumin, a whole lot of basil, and a whole lot of paprika. Keep it simmering and NOW you can start cooking your noodles. When your noodes are done, after straining, dump them in the pan and mix it up.

The longer the simmer, the better the sauce, but there is diminishing marginal returns. I don't ever go to the trouble of simmering more than 20 minutes b/c I'm a busy boy, some people would consider this sacrilege. Best spaghetthi you have had in a looong time. Even better if you make the noodles from scratch, but that is a degree of dedication that I rarely use.

Yes, I'm not sure if the linked post discusses education debt. Even if wages increased 50% more than we think due to inflation issues, as the blog post claims, I don't know how a slightly better wage makes up for vastly increased education/housing spending. I don't know if the CPI or productivity account for either of those, either.

> If we accept that your "good" and "mediocre" programmers are commodities, there's no basis to call them "good" and "mediocre" because they're fungible to their employer.

Being fungible doesn't imply that there is no quality difference between goods. It just means the quality difference is irrelevant to the purchaser. Stationeries are viewed as commodities by most businesses but I can still distinguish a good pen from a bad one.

Thats severely mischaracterizing a summary report with many references.

Even if there was a Covington like incident every month, it doesn't prove anything. Isolated incidents should not be used to make judgements or infer reality. Instead, use criminal justice data aggregated from around the country, like the report cites.

Rate of immigration past a certain threshold has been shown to suppress wages.

If your supply is perpetually exceeding demand it sets that precedent. Neo-classical touters like to imagine an influx leading to new job creation: a) this is not necessarily true, b) if it is, it can be a slow process, c) if it is, it may not lead to a sufficient rate of job creation, d) companies are absorbing each other and wealth is concentrating at too high a rate. Growth will stagnate and we'll see a new era of "old money", just as it was before the world wars. And, we're dealing with the effects of automation to boot eroding jobs faster than new ones are replacing them. Just remember that what's good for the GDP is good for the rich, not necessarily workers.

I miss the sonic booms that were a regular occurrence in my childhood in the 1970's. I lived in northern Utah, almost due north of Hill AFB. They used to fly F4 Phantom II jets and would go supersonic to the west of us as they arced towards their test range on the west side of the Great Salt Lake.

Rumors at the time were that the many dairy cows in the area produced less milk on days the Air Force flew. But I still loved the sound and the feeling of the boom shaking the house.
Currently this is as scalable as a normal node+express app. The aim for now is to improve development experience for now.
It wasn't a hardware review though, it was a platform review. If the platform has so many issues that you can't even test the hardware in an apples-to-apples comparison, that's worth mentioning in a review.

Really I have never seen print change the order of the data it is given (that's manipulating, indeed) for the sake of what seems to be laziness.

If there is a real need for sorted iteration then it should be external to print, possibly a new API of maps.
I wish my T420 wasn't in such bad shape. It works... mostly. But the physical case is beat to all hell because it came through college with me, spent every day in a bag, survived a few high falls to concrete.

How much immigrants are paid is primarily a function of how many immigrants are in the labor pool. They tend to earn less because there’s a virtually unlimited supply of poor people who want to immigrate. Supply and demand impacts markets for labor, that’s just basic economics.

Yeah, most of this article is complaints about the web browsing experience. I'm a little puzzled. My main use case for the Raspberri Pi is little robot projects or home automation, etc, so I don't really care about the web browser. It would be nice if they had software compatibility with the Raspberri Pi though, if you could just put Raspbian on there, as that would allow them to leverage all the work that's been put into that and reduce ecosystem fragmentation a bit.
