>young people are learning that the underdog is always good and the people in power are always bad.

This is not a bad thing, but something to be proud of. This is built into the blood of the American fabric. Questioning authority and fighting for the underdog is what built America, and created a nation free from monarchs. Every notable thing in American history to be proud of has come from resisting government overreach, and the treatment of all people with justness and compassion.

Anyone who tries to say that fighting against oppression and manipulation by the upper class is somehow a bad thing... well...
Universities should prepare people for life. By encouraging free exchange of ideas, including uncomfortable ones, we force young adults to strengthen their arguments through dialogue and debate. Safe spaces create ideological echo chambers where people can't learn.

It's also disturbing to hear "dissenting" opinion equated with violence - that just encourages physical violence in response. It's autocratic group think and it really needs to stop. The world outside the academy isn't so forgiving of garbage tribal behavior like that.
> If you hate Hotel Tonight because of the fees

Once again, the issue is that HotelTonight deliberately implemented a dark pattern to hide the price. They know the fee amount. They display it. They could've shown it as part of the itemization, but they specifically did not.

Okay, hotel websites do this too? So what? TFA is about HotelTonight.
> easier to manipulate

If they weren't always re-campaigning, they might be less easy to manipulate.
When the hotel participates with an OTA like Expedia or others, they are not paying for the facilitation of the booking, they are paying for the demand that Expedia has generated for the hotel. An unsold room is perishable every night and the cost of not participating on Expedia is that the room is empty instead of being filled at a $20 lower profit margin.
It's not that much overhead and Java has successfully been used in the embedded space for a long time. (The JVM is separate from the Java language.) From today's wiki page on embedded java, "Embedded Java minimal requirements start at 30KB of (internal) flash and less than 2KB of (internal) RAM." Sure sometimes you can't even meet that, but that's hardly Java's fault.
I'm occasionally tempted to add RAM, but every year my OS and applications get more memory-efficient so I have less of an excuse to spend any money on that. I've got 16GB and it's getting more sufficient all the time! The latest compiler upgrades make it twice as fast as last year, on the same hardware. Life is pretty good.

(Avoiding hardware upgrades isn't all peaches and cream. My graphics cards are getting less acceptable all the time, and I'll probably need to upgrade this year.)

I don't use Chrome or Slack or any of those others. The easiest way to use less memory is to not run programs which require a bunch of it. People who drive Ferraris don't complain about their fuel economy.
I believe this is a bit more nefarious than a car manufacturer who is trying make you pay for a car slightly more.

Also how futzing with disk arrays so often causes data loss.

Storage is unforgiving and you absolutely want the simplest thing to set up - for data safety.

The problem is that when you go to do recovery, maybe years after the thing was set up, it turns out the software has moved on and works differently and your storage media are in a state where at least one has failed and maybe more are dodgy, and if you have set something up with a few different interacting layers it is super easy to do the wrong thing and lose data.

I’ve lost data to “clever” storage setups before and now I stick to the “happy path” (only run the most common, well tested configurations).
Hardware support is hard, that's why this normally fails, unfortunately.

College has the time to add a lot more nuance. People graduate high school with relatively basic understanding of communication, history and economics - and those basic understandings aren’t enough to expose you to the nuances of the world. I’ve always felt like high school gives you just enough to have a very simple worldview, and college starts you on a path to realize that everything is more complicated than you thought.
Granted plenty of people that supported the Civil Rights may have done so because they wanted equal protection to work both ways; they wanted society to uphold the Golden rule of, "treat others how you want to be treated". One group agrees not to discriminate against others in exchange for the assurance that they will not be discriminated against themselves.

To those people, affirmative action would seem a lot like a bait an switch and a clear violation of the intent of the law.

If you delay the artificial slowness that I added in the Text component after the rendering, it sure will be faster. The point is to simulate an expensive component tree with this.

If we keep that in (https://codesandbox.io/s/93yv4j129p), my previous comment holds true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19332577

Here is by the way a version with all artificial slowness removed: https://codesandbox.io/s/9859x0wm9p You can see that this example does not need any optimizations out of the box. This is why I added the slowness to simulate a more complex app.
I think Airbnb shines with large groups. Me and 10 friends can split a house in the mountains or in some European city for a fraction of getting multiple rooms in a Hotel - with much less hassle.

However, if I'm traveling by myself or with my partner, hotels still seem the way to go. Valet parking in a city centre with room service can make a stay much comfortable.
That's a pretty baseless and assumption filled statement itself!. I've followed this since the original accident.

AirBnB has massive amount of money and clout.

What should one do with money and clout?

Build a thing...

What type of thing?

AirBnBs are consumed by primarily individuals/couples

How provid?

Welp - where do they go?

They have the data.

So - how about buy up and build tiny-home communities in highest ABnB places?

Partner with Epic Tiny Home providers such as WindRiverTinyHomes

Why not throw that clout around on city planning depts whi dont know how to zone, divest parcels... Alameda is an example - whom I have spoken with about just this

Why not work with Warren Buffets Manufactured Homes groups (whom I have spoken with) to make an inventory....

Why not do many things...

Fuck AIRBnB - have a 20 year vision.

Build a freaking community based on a bolt-on tiny home over a shared common infrastructure in a very common design-build model. (Ive designed built gas stations, fast food, cell sites, data centers, and millions of square feet) - there are LOTs of people like me.

Go build something.

Yet these are the families that by and large live in areas where the neighborhood schools tend to fail to deliver quality education, the families who would benefit from having a real choice.

So you're of the view that a real choice is better than no choice?

Unless a municipality is willing to convey a child from any home to any school and back (and in a timely manner), vouchers will never meaningfully address education quality.

What of the cases where the charter schools are close to or essentially co-located with the public school? There are some charter schools which are in the same building as the public school.

Nintendo Asks Developer to Cut Back on In-App Purchases
How are you measuring the amount of memory Chrome takes? Do you calculate PSS somehow? It is quite non-trivial to determine this number, due to the complexity of memory allocation.
Only a very small percentage is kept "free". Everything else should be made available to buffer cache or the application, etc....
I personally prefer keyboard driven UIs on my phone because all the UI elements are always in the same place.

On smartphone native apps all the buttons are always piping up and sliding over each other, when you eventually hit one accidentally and it triggers some blocking or irreversible action it’s super frustrating.

It’s so bad that I honestly think I have a smaller error rate with the touchscreen keyboard than touchscreen GUIs.

You've got a bit of an edge case... Haswell is the last machine I'd consider modern. Go back one generation and Ivy Bridge is missing AVX2 and loses performance in a number of applications.

Haswell is the oldest CPU that supports AVX2, DDR4, quad-core standard, probably has USB3.0 slots and PCIe 3.0.

"Modern" machines like Skylake have increased to 6-core standard (even for an i5) or more (i7 and AMD Zen are 8-cores now). Those extra cores help with compiles / 3d blender renders / some other tasks, but its not a major improvement otherwise. USB 3.1 Type C isn't a big change from USB 3.0, and PCIe 3.0 and DDR4 are still mainstream.

In as little as a year however, things seem to be changing. Intel Icelake will be adding AVX512 to the mainstream later this year. We'll see whether or not consumers get an uptick in AVX512 usage, or if Adobe / other programs continue to push GPGPU instead.

With DDR5 being released in 2019 (with doubled bandwidth compared to DDR4) and PCIe 4.0 beginning adoption, and with PCIe 5.0 and USB4 standards being released, it seems like a major upgrade cycle will occur in the 2020 to 2021 timeframe. (It seems like the Desktop market is skipping PCIe 4.0 and just going straight to PCIe 5.0, quadrupling I/O bandwidth in one jump)

---------

Laptops are still waiting for LPDDR4 support. Kinda sucks for them. Intel really feels like they stalled out with all of these 10nm issues they've been having. A lot of their technology (ie: Ice Lake) was delayed due to the 10nm issues.
Can you clarify your last sentence? What am I being so obtuse about?

To me the Civil Rights Act was a very well written law -- something we don't have enough of anymore. Nearly everyone can read and understand its intent.

If we as a people decide that we want to overturn the Civil Rights Act to allow differing treatment based on race in order to achieve social justice -- then the right way to do that is by having a debate in congress and passing new laws.

You can save even more if you use a cashback site when booking through Priceline, Orbitz, etc.

The Best Price Guarantee is largely a lie. It's a Best Price Guarantee on a rack-rate rooms. The problem is most OTAs will offer a significant discount (sometimes more than 50%) for a non-refundable room. The rooms are exactly the same, they just classify them differently, so they don't have to actually have the best price.
> not because of what they'll do to the product, but I guarantee their partnerships with hotels and hotel groups will evaporate when contracts expire.

I'm not sure. It may be harder to book future dates with HT after the contracts expire, but in my experience HT is most useful when AirBnB isn't (same day booking.)

I'd imagine hotels probably like the last minute bookings. Also you can book at 1 or 2am when hotwire cuts you off at midnight and many other ways of booking stop working after about 10pm.

>and then he starts throwing out blatantly false strawmen like "then you get to 'men are bad' and 'whites are bad'"

These are sincerely held beliefs increasing in popularity around the world. Take, for example, the evergreen state college controversy in the USA where black people decided white people shouldnt come to college one day. Governmental and corporate boards are increasingly forcefully including women to achieve "equal" representation, regardless of measured abilities.
That was meant to be parsed out as "open source communities".

When it's in their own self-interest I'm not sure whether they're being friendly or not. Can't really tell.

Also go feels a bit tightly controlled to me and like it's not carrying on the traditions of open source scripting languages (same with Swift). Fortunately, Rust and Elixir are shaping up to be good continuations of the culture of Perl/Python/Ruby/etc.

> probably not at all what the reddit poster had in mind

I'm pretty confident the goal is to choose a smallest subset of English so that, if you know this subset of English and are given a dictionary written in it, you can learn the entire vocabulary of full English.

That means you're not allowed to create any new words, so you can't create the magic uber-word w.

> if there was a minimal set of (more than one!) words sufficient to define all other words (meanings) in a language, all natural languages would converge to about that number of words- which I really don't think is the case.

This amounts to saying there is little to no redundancy in language. I'm not convinced. For example, once you've got "one" and "plus", the words "two", "three", "four", etc. are just convenience. Another example might be opposites: if you have "down", you don't absolutely have to have "up". But the thing is, people really like convenient ways of saying things. In fact, the economics probably drive you toward doing this. It makes for shorter sentences think of it like data compression: if a concept occurs often, you want a dedicated word for it so you can just say that word instead of saying the definition.
The hidden danger, mentioned in the article, is if the client sends a second request while the server closes an idle connection. Until http/2, the client can't tell if the server closed the connection before or after it received the request. Many servers send a hint about the idle time out, but few client libraries process it (that I've seen). The larger the latency between server and client, the bigger deal this is.
The nature of HT is last minute spur of the moment bookings.
Theres one other feature of HotelTonight thats super useful - I often want to book a room very late into the night. Think finding a room at 11pm or 1am. A lot of hotels dont want to deal with you or aren't sure how to handle the rate/days. HotelTonight made that unquestionable and easy.
Apache Solr: Because Your Database Is Not a Search Engine

> Reading from RAM is certainly faster than disk, but reading less is faster than reading either from RAM or from disk.

This is just not true in a lot of ways.

For example, you can use memory to store the same data in multiple ways, and then you get blistering fast access, whereas if you only store it in a single way, you may get a range of read performance between "as good" to "really really bad".

I understand why what you said sounds true, but it's not that simple at all.
Nine problems with the current VR technology
I'm currently using Cosmic JS for a personal project, and so far I've been really impressed -- I was able to launch my site in under an hour, and that was starting completely from scratch with no prior knowledge of Cosmic and having never used a headless CMS before.

One thing that helped a ton was the availability of pre-built templates; there happened to be a node app template that fit my frontend use case perfectly, so I was able make the tweaks I wanted and launch.

> This is just twisted logic to provide a false path to help you conclude that the privileged are actually the oppressed.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. There are a whole lot of people who make all sorts of claims about who the "privileged" and the "oppressed" might be; some of them arguably with more care than others. By way of example, a certain high-profile figure in our administration seemingly likes to portray eirself as being 'just an average guy' who has been somewhat successful thanks to eir outstanding smarts and saviness in 'making deals', but is now being 'oppressed' by the fake-news-peddling mainstream media. I don't think these claims should be taken seriously, and I regard this notable individual as plausibly being, by and large, quite privileged. But of course it's possible that I am wrong, and that ey's really being oppressed, even though I might regard em as privileged. Is this what you're getting at?

More generally, I think words like "privilege" and "oppression" obscure a lot more than what they might seem to reveal; they're the kind of claim that should always come with some sort of explanation or qualification.
Yep. One of our presidents was Japanese-Peruvian, and I went to school in Peru with a few people with Japanese first and last names.
> Whether hotels are better or worse than apartment rentals doesn't matter

It absolutely matters. Blockbuster in it's later years was not only entrenched, but also a bad experience. People were tired of being price gouged with late fees. Netflix was a better experience, even if you got your DVD a couple days later.

> companies don't want to share data with or help out their competition.

We share data with our competition all the time. It may help them, but it also helps us as well. You must decide if the business value it brings you is greater than the perceived data it brings them. Obviously you don't want to share market secrets, but sharing some logistical data doesn't seem too harmful. You aren't sharing the "secret sauce"

Sometimes competitors make the best friends.
No, lots of algorithms and data structures use more space to provide more speed. It's not simple laziness.
>At some point I really hope that data, science, facts and reason can prevail over the craziness that has taken over university campuses and society as a whole.

This statement assumes that traditional (pre-today) notions of data, science and facts were (and are) inherently unbiased and pure, the product of a time before "unreasonable" people tried to change them and modify the standard. I see no reason to think this is true, other than in the sense that their subjectivity was one you preferred to the current one. By presenting your own case as "data, science, facts" you're ignoring the heated debate since about the 60s (such as the Positivism Dispute[0]) and what science really is, and even the possibility that it is inherently gendered[1] and the theory of falsification as expounded by the likes of Popper can't even stand up as he himself explained it[2]. In that sense, it is a naive view driven by the false presumption that the collection, access and presentation of such data is disconnected from both the institutions that produce them (science with its methodological and metaphysical systems) and from the society that must suffer them (subjectivity being presented as objectivity).

Arguing over the morality (or even constitutionality) of such a measure was not the point of me bringing it up. It's obviously a complete political non-starter in the US (it's within the Overton Window in Britain, but still highly unlikely).

The point was that there are compelling arguments to make that both greatly liberalizing school choice and greatly eliminating school choice would improve things for those who are economically disadvantaged. That says a lot about how badly things are working now.
