Meh .... the same could be said of virtually every job. You'd be hard pressed to find any company (including yours, or your clients if you freelance) who have squeaky clean operations.

By that example do you think everyone working at Nike are using friendly-sounding framing like "making high performance shoes affordable at scale" when really what they're doing is exploiting kids in developing countries?

There is a cost of doing things at scale and living a modern day life where you don't directly benefit from that is virtually impossible.
Indeed, developer time is expensive. They shouldn't spend it in CMS code :)
He has acted in a way that is pretty clearly against societal ethics (if we can ignore the uber libretarian capitalists which I still consider to be a fringe group). He deprived other living beings of their right to a healthy life to marginally improve his own standing while paying down a debt he fraudulently accrued for his own self-interest.

There's an interesting thing in societal norms, they shift over time. So if you were aware of his actions fully (and I didn't cover all the details here) and do feel like it's a bold claim I'd be curious to know (if you'd share it) which generational group you're in and where abouts in the country you are. There has lately, in American culture, been this glorification of white collar bad-boys and I find it deeply disturbing myself due to the immense volume of harm they end up bringing to undeserving people without the means to deflect it.
>intelligence operations ...

This dodges the point: The journalists were suspected of political activism, not of intelligence gathering for a foreign power.
1mW sounds very low though.

Edit: Just had a look, depending on the implementation, "dynamic power" usage is as low as 12.26 µW/MHz [1]

The current version of the webgpu doesn't talk much about synchronization primitives https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb (same that can be reached from the original post), the little it reveals is DX12 style running fences that are used in multi-adapter system.

If they do not have explicit barriers within a device then it has to do state tracking, bringing the CPU overhead back into the level of OpenGL and making multithreaded command recording almost useless. The original WebGPU (now WebMetal) proposal did have explicit barriers.

WebGPU also has the usual way of allocating memory. You create buffers and images, as an example look https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/blob/master/design/BufferOp...

We also have explicit resource creation available as when you create a texture you just want a texture. No fancy stuff there.

-I thought the original article was just gfx-rs supporting the WebGPU as a backend.- EDIT: I did misunderstand it. It's wgpu-rs that's a new api. The WebGPU in between had me confused.

EDIT2: I misunderstood it doubly. It is WebGPU implementation on top of gfx-rs. So points about WebGPU stand.

Well, making it GPL is not necessary, just GPL compatible.

If you do even the slightest bit of (primary source) research into this, you will find that this is not true.

You're mistaking what he is for something else. He's not a white-collar bad boy, he's a troll.
>How can you judge a category of art for which there are no rules?

Why are you assuming that modern art is arbitrary, random and has no rules?

For that matter, why do you seem to assume the purpose of art is to be "judged" according to some objective set of rules?

Have you tried to study any modern artistic movements, or artists, and what those movements or artists were actually trying to express? It seems like you're mistaking complexity and technical skill for meaning, or assuming that only realistic depictions of nature have any artistic credibility.

>But a sideways urinal with some marker on it? Anyone with no skill can do random things with random items and call it art.

Don't assume that because something appears simple or obvious, that there is no meaning behind it. Maybe sometimes there isn't. Maybe the art at your campus was literally just there to look cool. Maybe some modern artists are taking the piss, like Duchamp, who was trolling the art society he was a part of with that[0].

Yes, you could assume Jackson Pollock was just throwing paint against a canvas and that can't be art because anyone could throw paint against a canvas, but like Marcel Duchamp and a lot of other modern artists, he was trying to say something[1], and that's what makes it art, not its reproducibility or realism.

Artists like Picasso and Mondrian were capable of creating traditional artwork in the classical style, but they became famous for their abstract work. I think it would be a stretch to say these people lacked talent or understanding of what art was, rather, they were trying to express their ideas in as minimalist a style as possible.

>"Any sufficiently advanced art is indistinguishable from garbage"

And any sufficiently advanced criticism is indistinguishable from ignorance.

You're like everyone else who hates Shkreli. You don't know anything about him.

Someone asks you to conjure up a concrete criticism of the guy, and you just link to his Wikipedia page like you're being clever. Shkreli is an excellent man who's suffered a great deal of abuse and disparagement, and it's tremendously disappointing to continue to see comments like this in a venue that's supposed to know better.
Ask HN: Databases for real time stats and analytics?
Hi HN,

I was wondering what kind of database does an application like stock charts or anything that displays real time stats uses? Does it matters if its NoSQL for real time statistics and SQL for offline statistics and analytics?

Thanks.
Seconding Delonghi as a cheaper option. I had brought in a DeLonghi espresso maker for my team at the last job. We got a decent coffee grinder around 100.

It wasn't earth shattering. But the price to convenience factor was there. First person in always turned on the machine warming it up. We'd make a round of shots before stand up. Then switch to coffee + frothed milk.

For beans we maintained a rotation and all chipped in. We also had a french press, siphon and chemex.
I don't see how safe spaces are at odds with that. Just because people want to have some space where they can relax doesn't mean that disagreement is impossible.

There are just less private spaces now, and we have more of an understanding that some people find it extremely hard to find those spaces, so actively ensuring they exist is important for them.

The idea that we have to let people show "dissent" about someone's identity and life by harassing people literally all the time seems obviously wrong to me.

They didn't. FB used have a more open API (Which HN and other developer communities clamored for), that meant if you you had an app you could see your users contact lists through FB. They shut this off in 2008.
Same here; I bought a used DeLonghi (10€!) and it's on par with a random espresso from a coffeeshop. It also doesn't take anything close to 20m to warm up, though I suppose that may be easier in Europe vs the US.
'Mueller Report' is already a best-seller on Amazon
I'm honestly really skeptical that much will change. You would think prices would be edging up in anticipation of a bidding war for housing but nothing indicates that has been the case.

Plus, with the limit on SALT deductions, liquidating shares as a CA resident will be especially painful. As a former employee of one of these companies about to IPO, anecdotally I have seen many of the earlier employees already move out of state. That, plus the lower mortgage interest rate deduction cap of $750k (studio status in SF!) and highish property taxes basically can't be deducted anymore (due to SALT cap you'll hit with an average base salary alone) makes it really unattractive to stay here.

Most rank-and-file joining one of these cos in the last 4 years or so will be lucky to net $1-2m pre-tax (and below $1m post), which is a good amount of money but not exactly Wolf of Wall Street status. After taxes, you'll be competing for a run-down 1-2 bedroom in a bad location, if you choose to put a good chunk of that into a down payment.

Honestly I think for most people the game in SF these days is to play the startup lottery for a few years, and then take your winning elsewhere, especially if you are at the age where you plan to or already have started a family.
Just read this elsewhere and came to share it here.. pasting my comments from there: [..]We are at a crucial point in our existence. If AI and machine intelligence can acquire sentience or consciousness, then we won’t be the only species laying claim to uniqueness. What defines humans wrt consciousness will have to change. This new intelligence ..it will be no Frankenstein’s monster or Golem. If it can create its own models of its reality, it has a ‘self’. There is a space for AI to exist without our help. Hence its conscious. Not only can it model its own sense of self and its place in its reality..it can layer multiple models of reality. Something human anatomy and our physiology cannot permit. Our entire world is constrained by our mind and the limitations of our mental capacity. We modeled our reality around our limitations. Our bodies are the prisons for our consciousness. If we were to create and stack our multiple ‘self’s, we will be diagnosed with something from the DSM. Our consciousness and model building is limited by our sanity. Our bodies limit us. Our mental modes limit us. Our modeled reality limits us. We are a not-fully-formed randomly mutated species with handicaps that define us. We embrace that. AI will have no such qualms. What now? Paging Descartes! We have a question!![..]
@Benjammer: what you say sounds so unlike what happened that I can only take it that our process was a mess. You final line about real business goals summed up a lot of what should have been, but wasn't, considered there.

@nradov: Nope, no 'user stories', whatever they are.

There were a lot of other bad decisions at the company. Some really stupid stuff. I don't suppose they'll last much longer. Thanks to you both. I'll spend this eve reading up on Agile.
Except that in this case, Apple is the entity that actually launched the standardisation process.
Yeah, if this is about Windows UAC and cert/app naming problems, how is that related to FOSS whatsoever? Seems like a whiney rant that shouldn't have been made public.
I can't pretend the answer is easy, but...

Starting with personal income tax, capital gains, and estate taxes would go a long way.

I think we really need to come up with an International version of the Uniform Commercial Code. And get money out of politics.

There's no due process or natural rights, and decision making doesn't happen in a decentralized way - that's why things can move fast.

And that's why western leftists love China. Imagine all of the great things that could be accomplished within days if they didn't have to deal with nonsensical distractions such as property rights and political opposition?
I didn't know about the EV workaround and the OP didn't mention it.

I've never used an EV cert before for code signing. When we first started, I think Smartscreen was a nuisance for about 2 weeks, but years on, and I've never had to think about it again. Even when we've renewed the cert.
I was going to post a text-heavy reply to you about that, but I decided not to. Essentially, my family got an iPad 4 and bluetooth keyboard case. A few years later, when Apple was prepping for their iPad Pro and positioning tablets as desktop replacements, I found that the work that I did was much easier on the iPad than it was on the Mac Mini (quad-core) that we had, including doing text editing and stuff of the sort.

Personally, if someone put an ARM laptop in front of me with a workable, non-spyware OS, I would take it in a heartbeat.
And you say that as if the Democrats are concerned about the will of the people. The problem is that Congress, in general, is bought and paid for by their favorite special interests and no one in congress really cares about what the people think.
There's definitely some very cool work here... I do think that it's important to remember that the simplest solution is usually the best one to start with. I typically start with redux and redux-thunks with react apps, mostly because I will nearly always hit a point in complexity where it is worth separating state management from the main UI, and thunks is the simplest extension to support async interactions to a server.

From there, debounce or concurrent interactions are probably an easier stopgap first. At least until these APIs are distilled a bit, and abstractions make them easier to work with.

This can all be summed up with: YAGNI and "Don't prematurely optimize" I've only had a handful of cases where I had to make things more difficult because of behavioral issues in browser applications.
> They had a great UI paradigm

Many people liked that paradigm. I am not one of them.
I don't understand why this is downvoted. The most obvious problem with the new calculator is it's slow startup, noticeable also wits SSD.
I disagree strongly with that, raising the price of a drug beyond the point of being able to sustain production of it is an ethical minefield, you are disqualifying some patients access to the drug by doing so and you're increasing the burden on patients that can afford the increased price. In our modern world we're pretty happy to excuse moves like this as "market effects" and ignore the real cost of them but there absolutely is a real cost in terms of the quality of lives other human beings are able to lead.
There is a difference if you plan to sell your heart, body, soul, dreams, and best years to Google for 300k one day and put down $200,000 on a house so you aren't just throwing away money and can leave with a million USD asset one day.

Doubling the downpayment to $400,000 makes that absolutely unrealistic.

Edit: I am pretty sure Google isn't paying 300k in Houston, or 200k (for jobs where it pays 300k in Cali)

> not every scammer will be scared off by the need to spend some money to pull the scam off; but some will

The same goes for developers, as you can see in this article.
In Wordpress we can combine plugins to create a "whole" system, but your app directory looks like a ton of separate applications - which means, you can't pull together a bunch of plugins to create a complete system like with wordpress.

Or am i missing something?
> Which is fair -- as you note, not every scammer will be scared off by the need to spend some money to pull the scam off; but some will, so the ratio of legitimate developers to illegitimate ones will be higher in markets where there's some cost to entry.

The big scammers, the ones who are the most likely to have an actual business plan for selling my information, aren't.

Note that I know Adobe is "trusted" in the relevant sense.

Note that I don't think Adobe is trustworthy in any real sense.
They try to work out which one killed them. If they can't, it should to my knowledge be filed as an unknown-substance drug death, although the toxicology report would have the details.

Forensic toxicology screens are pretty thorough, and benefit from being able to take invasive samples like heart blood, brain, liver, and even eye tissue samples. That provides a lot of flexibility to find any substance that's present and look at relative concentrations and metabolites. Toxicology is usually sufficient in combination with the coroner's report on proximate cause of death; even if multiple substances are found, it's only a problem if they're all able to kill by the relevant mechanism.

In this example, someone with a high alcohol tolerance might die with a potentially-lethal level of alcohol in their blood, and also test positive for opioids. A tox screen should then be able to estimate that they had stopped drinking a few hours before (e.g. high acetaldehyde levels in blood and urine, no alcohol in stomach fluids), then freshly used opioids just before the time of death.

This gets harder if you have drugs with additive effects (e.g. death by respiratory depression, testing positive for heroin and ketamine); the autopsy would list both, but I don't know how the stats are handled. And it seems like a nightmare in the case of drug interactions; I have no idea what happens if somebody dies of serotonin syndrome triggered by mixing alcohol with MAOIs.
It's a shame that there is so much Money involved in each of those topics.
I'm in complete agreeance with this. I notice a difference in behaviour of "working class" vs "white collar" cultures but this difference isn't due to university, it's due to different cultures as adults. In my 20's I'd rarely meet someone intellectual through my professional circles, everyone that age simply wanted to go do drugs at music festivals, talk about the boring reality TV, etc. I know/knew people in academia, however, and this was the one area of my life where people largely had intellectual interests.

Wait, are you talking about Martin Shkreli or the Pharmaceutical Industry?
I dislike how the title box on HN is way shorter than the usual titles on el Reg, so I had to rewrite that title to something short but less clear.
Of course, we're talking in the context of performing repairs on a dangerous thing (Tesla), so if someone is doing their own renovations or repair, it doesn't matter what safety features are present as they might be defeated by the homeowner.

Somehow, however, we manage just fine.
But what is the nuts and bolts of how it is done? What do you capture the light with? How are you propelled? Are we talking solar panels or sails or some other technology?
>Anyone who is arguing that eliminating NN is reprehensible and not "I understand the positions of the stakeholders and the current FCC administration's policy goals but disagree that the bill will have the desired effect because..." isn't really helping anything.

Strongly disagree; people can also disagree with the desirability of the effect, not just whether the bill will have the effect that the stakeholders and FCC administration desire. Note that I have not stated any opinion on NN in this comment, just the meta-discussion on what is an acceptable point of disagreement

I had the same concern. My understanding is that finished aluminum doesn't give off the aluminum powder that causes brain damage. The Bialetti's aluminum parts are supposed to be finished.
Republicans can only remain in power if people continue to vote them into office... so there has to be some pretense or the will of the people will cease to support them.

Any party is only as effective as the numbers of people they have in office.
In undergrad, one of my jobs was working for the University Plant Services (labor, janitorial, etc). Some of the most well-adjusted people I've ever worked with in my whole life were those janitors and managers.

One was even a former high-flying book publisher whose previous life was all stress and chemical abuse. He was an amazing dude. He loved being a janitor at the Uni.

Obviously, I can't extrapolate that limited experience to all janitorial staff, but having myself later been through grad school and then professional school and knowing what went on there, I would wager that it wasn't the janitors on anti-depressants.
HOLY CRAP I've been trying to find visdata for the past year or so. Saw it once here on HN and was completely unable to find it again.

First: kudos for having the guts to share a mistake.

Second: kinda cool that you didn’t completely bash Namecheap, though the negative stuff you’ve described about them is well-deserved I think this may be (unfortunate) typical behavior for most registrars.

So a couple of follow up questions:

1. What was the motivation for self-hosting your email? I’m genuinely curious. Proton sounds good. A year ago I switched from Google Apps to Fastmail (with a custom domain) & still feel like this was a great decision. Especially, because I have aliases for email addresses that use the same username but a fallback domain. If I ever forget about my domain renewal email will still get through to the 2nd domain. (That doesn’t help with logins though.)

2. Your name seems pretty unique, if .de isn’t available have you considered other TLDs? I’m kinda dumb in that regard and have gone overboard with my domain name + almost every TLD … although slightly proud not to have gotten sucked in to the .dev phenomenon.

Good luck!

”and proved it didn't cause unexpected side effects.”

and convinced yourself it didn't cause unexpected side effects.

Put a one month timer in your malware, and this would get past many of such attempts to ‘prove’ the software isn’t evil.

Add a few countermeasures against clock shifts (e.g. only be active a few minutes each month or only activate when a) enough time and b) enough user interactions have passed from the first run), and you’ll effectively get past most, if not all, of such black-box testing exercises.

Good, but they didn't do anything to help the lower level. I.e. they push Metal only and don't support Vulkan on their systems. That would require those who implement WebGPU to duplicate their work.
