They’re available by third parties. You can argue that customfields are supported by Shopify but wishlists aren’t. If you need a Wishlist you need a database externally storing customer and product data.

So no, Shopify doesn’t have a Wishlist feature. Shopify lists other Saas’ that offer to fill in the many gaps.

That may work for some retailers. As with Magento, some will like that approach and some won’t.

But if you’re telling a retailer that Shopify offers a Wishlist feature you need to be sure to mention that it will cost them $x/month/store and that the app isn’t built nor supported by Shopify.

I think Apple Music is good for discovery. Probably not as good, but for many of us it hits the "good enough" mark. I confess I'm an Apple Music subscriber mostly because I'm just in that ecosystem, and it's relatively low effort; I'm also a Tidal subscriber because it was the only service integrated with Roon (a music server package I use), although I'm still debating that one.

I have 29 myself. I self-manage my properties and work a full-time remote job.

A few weekly calls during the workday. A few evenings or weekend daytime meetings with prospective tenants or maintenance staff each month. So, ~$1 to 1.5k per hour of work. Not a bad paying side gig.

Because the social safety net in the US is almost totally absent. As an European that is one of the main things that keeps me away from ever wanting to work in the States, down there it looks like you're either a successful person, meaning you have a house on which you can afford to pay mortgage, which in turn means that you have a successful job which allows you to navigate the inevitable recessions, or you're always one-step away from being homeless, there's no in-between state where you can live an ok-ish life on a not-so-great job without having nightmares about your economic prospects each and every night.
When I lived in Santa Clara there was parking in front of the row of townhouses where I was renting. Most days I would park directly in front of my unit, some days one or two spots away.

Then one day a very old rusted camper appeared in front of a house 3 doors down, parked out front. No idea how it got there, and it had no car or truck attached to move it.

About 6 weeks later, a second one in front of the first. Now these were taking about 4-5 spots and the neigbors were running out of places to park.

I inquired with the local police and they told me there was nothing they could do because overnight parking was not illegal in the street and it was not resident permit parking only.

By the time I moved there were 3 or 4 campers along the street at any one time. Of course the windows would always be blocked, and the inhabitants did a good job of never really being seen. Aside from not being able to park in front of my house anymore, there was also quite a bit of associated litter, to say nothing of the stench probably from overflowing holding tanks. It also left me with an uneasy feeling of who these people were and if they posed any risk to my children, or if they might try to break in.

It’s a tragedy of the commons issue, as well as safety, and sanitation. Generally speaking when unknown people with no tie to a community can come and go as they please, it ends badly for the residents of that community.
I cannot understand this "solution" of turning to machine-verified proofs. Coq, Isabelle, etc. invariably contain bugs. Even if they didn't, you can still run into hardware bugs. Computers are not a source of perfect computation and software is certainly not a source of perfect logic.

I visited Hudson Yards and the Vessel on the opening day. I don't find the Vessel itself to be as architecturally offensive as others, I think it's a fine idea. A seven story mall, however, is a preposterous idea. In a day and age when malls are dying. Especially in a city! Malls were made to emulate city centers, and Manhattan already is great to wander around.

The whole experience is just so very clearly synthetic. There's no unifying theme or feel, other than that of "we spent a whole lot of money making this place, it can't fail".

I imagine I'll continue to see lots of marketing about it over the next 10 years, desperately trying to make it a tourist attraction. Maybe they'll succeed.
That sounds fantastic. Thanks for the info. Currently I'm using iced-vim, but I'll definitely have a look at Conjure when I have some time.
I thought that container looked very familiar. My first guess was going to be Jergens, but I can't find an exact match on Google Images. Nivea might be it; again I can't find a dead-ringer but it's close to some of their packaging designs.

8,000 2hr tapes equate to nearly two years of running time. For the transferred footage to be of any use, it needs to be tagged and catalogued. You'd be looking at around $100,000 in labour costs, assuming that the tapes are in good condition and don't need significant restoration.
I think we tried it just a few weeks ago and it still had the problem. If I recall correctly (and it's very possible I dont, but I can check at work tomorrow), our test is to parse some json with the cl-json library. That library relies heavily on using signals (common lisp signals) and restarts for it's control flow.
Actually - no they don't. Changing interest rates doesn't change the money supply. But you're right, the real problem is the uneven distribution of money - the precise causes are a little more complex though.
I like Google Fi's model. You pay for what you use. A data cap is necessary when you want to sell "unlimited" but $x/gb makes more sense.
Yes I've heard people remark that Go is basically Google's C++ style guide distilled into a new programming language... It's not 100% true but there's definitely some truth to it :)

Not having exceptions is a big similarity. Go slices and StringPiece are essentially the same idiom. There's a lot of vector<> and map<> which leads to builtin arrays and maps, rather than having arbitrary user-defined data structures (i.e. no operator overloading). gofmt was definitely inspired by Google's code review process.
I just asked my wife (who's a pharmacist). She says that it's indeed true that drugs companies basically ignore existing drugs because it's not worth the costs to prove that they work even though they can officially patent them for new usages.

Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregabalin

That's an epilepsy treatment which also worked for nerve damage. They weren't allowed to dispense the generic for nerve problems. However in practise the prescriptions don't include the reason so in practise they provided the generic.
Breaking down a callback hell into a declarative pipeline
Correct. This was literally nuts. Nevada bused in and dumped over 50 mentally ill patients onto the streets of San Francisco, and the consequence was that you couldn't walk in downtown San Francisco without encountering 1 of these patients acting crazy on the streets.

It's somewhat lame that the City settled for a measly compensation of 400K. They should've all been rounded up and send back to Nevada, to the hospitals that they belonged to.

8 things that can break whose code you have no control over and cannot see.

If your newsletter pop up app breaks that’s no big deal but your inventory sync isn’t in the same boat.

With node packages you can lock to a version and upgrade gradually. With Wordpress you can do the same.

Generally though I’ve found Shopify keeps you updated when it comes to breaking API changes.

One interesting question is how viable this can be if they continue their strategy of differentiation through privacy. Doing "services" for people intrinsically means knowing about them. What they watch, what they read, what they listen to, what they need, who they are. The more you know, the better you can "service" them. By pursuing this path they may quickly find themselves sucked into a slipperly slope that puts them into conflict with the primary identity they've tried to build up. You can see it already starting:

> divide up the revenue between developers based on how much time users spend playing their games

So they're going to spy on their users, huh? Of course, it's perfectly innocent, but they will quickly find that with deeper metrics they can better model what games to fund, etc etc. And before you know it they'll have a tab in their account page just like Google with a list as long as your arm of all the things they know about you.
There's something to be said about how if you search google you get 10 things, just 10 things, usually 10 things tied to recent events, on the first page. Granted effort is required by the individual to know more, but really so many things seem homogenized or just misrepresented (not intentionally).

I've digitized family letters, pictures, and home movies, and it doesn't take specialized skills to do it. Quite adequate results can be had with consumer equipment - even a phone camera is very good and fast at capturing documents.

Sometimes I suspect professional archivists would rather lose the material than use simple consumer equipment and techniques. (Not that there is any "technique" to using those Amazon video capture devices.)

> Hudson Yards is a private space masquerading as a public one ... In reality it is an enclave, a high-end corporate park buoyed by six billion dollars in tax breaks—an amount that dwarfs the subsidies offered to Amazon for its scuttled Queens headquarters—and designed as a kind of amenity-stuffed Hotel California that its residents never have to leave ... The only thing that Hudson Yards is missing is its own weather ... what Hudson Yards really feels like is a nice airport terminal, with the High Line as its moving walkway"
Are you saying that somebody build a home in Seattle and put it up for rent or sale, and nobody was willing to move in, at any price? I would find that hard to believe. I can more easily imagine a poorly-administered housing subsidy program that failed to utilize some housing.

>Forgive my ignorance, but aren't many EU decisions required to be unanimous? So if China has close ties to Italy, could it use it's influence to convince Italy to "veto" hypothetical EU sanctions against Chinese human rights violations or other actions that are good for the EU but against Chinese domestic and foreign policy?

Yes, just like Germany does with its EU satellite states, and the US has done in Europe since WWII.
It started w/ an Aladdin story & dream-chasing .. but to cut to it, @ present, I basically operate in / out of a storage unit.

The routine basically goes: Wake up, run / shower @ gym (some days, meditate in tanning booth), go to cafe & write for ~3-4 hours, Citi Bike to day-job, work it & once finished, go to sleep on soho-streets @ night.

> you naturally want to look a woman in the eyes if you are genuinely attracted to her, it's hard to resist.

How are you certain this is universally true? Seems like a pretty clear case of the typical minds fallacy. For people that don't 'naturally' maintain eye contact with women they are attracted to, 'simulating' that behavior does not imply that any feelings are being simulated.

Sure, it's 2 years of running time. It's not 2 years of labor time, though. Put the tape in, push "play" on the VCR, "record" on the app running on the computer, go spend some quality time with your friends, come back in 2 hours, push "finish", and stick in another tape. Then, simply scan or photograph her index card for it.

To reduce the calendar time, get more VCRs (often going for $5 each at the thrift store), more cheap computers, and more capture devices, and do them in parallel.

Some of the tapes will be unplayable, sure. Toss 'em in the trash.
20 years ago I worked on a project for streaming films in South America. It was simply not viable: the few that had internet used dialup. A few years later, ADSL started to show up. This year I myself cancelled cable and switched to streaming as sole source of video.
yeah, there have been previous papers on creating membranes that wick some of the water up to be heated, and turned into vapor, but not so much that it cools down the carbon layer.
There's a website like this. You can only flip through a few channels, and there's no guide, but it was long format recordings including commurcials. Ah! Why can't I think of the name. Maybe keep looking? Sorry this isn't more helpful, but maybe just knowing it's there will help.
Make tasks out of requirements then create subtasks all the way down while putting an estimate on every task. On your way you will find r&d tasks, unknowns and potential high risks. You need to communicate about those to mitigate as much as you can. Then communicate and communicate some more. Meanwhile you get a good overall view on the project, it's size and the possible pitfalls. After this you can do the project in whatever methodology suits the project.

Big software projects just means that the above mentioned task is dauntingly big. Constant update and refining is needed as the project moves forward and there are a lots of unknowns and lots of different people to talk to. This work needs some kind of a system which includes documenting the communications and upgrading the tasks with new input.
Well, are you really claiming that the cause of high interest rates on payday loans is poor morals? Unusual greed? Which mysteriously descends on all who enter the trade, every time?

That's the whole reason I used the example of loansharks, as I thought everyone understood by now that even if the angels ran that trade, such loans would be very expensive. But see below for other arguments against this bad-morals argument.

I've never seen numbers, but given the abundance of competing outfits, I'd expect that it looks roughly like any other business, once you account for all the costs. It could be a little more profitable if distaste drives some potential competitors to stay out. It also seems like a great front business for laundering, but I wouldn't guess that's a large proportion.

> IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4. In December 1998, IPv6 became a Draft Standard for the IETF, who subsequently ratified it as an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017

In Portland, the Hollywood Theatre recently bought out Movie Madness, a classic SE video store boasting a wide collection of film media.

it's different... not sure it's better.
And if you have to use Microsoft or Intel C compiler for 64-bits Windows, you have to use assembly to reach that functionality which is still in the CPU. With the open source compilers it's better. You can write C code that works with both GCC and clang.
Also, their overflow avoidance technique fails on integers too, and for basically the same reason (lack of precision).

Suppose you want to find the mean of (1, 1, 1). If you divide by the length of the list first, you're going to compute sum(1/3, 1/3, 1/3), which reduces to sum(0, 0, 0). And 0 < min(1, 1, 1).
Actually, this appears to be implementation-specific? The resolver I looked at a while ago[0] did something like:

@. io NS -> ns1.io # (for example[1])
@. ns1.io A -> x.x.x.x
@x.x.x.x github.io NS -> ns1.github.io
@x.x.x.x ns1.github.io A -> y.y.y.y
@y.y.y.y dissidents.github.io A -> z.z.z.z
return z.z.z.z

caching every step of the way. Admittedly, I don't know that it wasn't going out of it's way to avoid leaking, but this was circa 2012 or so, so it predates rfc7816 at least.

hey, qri dev here. Delighted you like the design, we're hoping to make data a little more "approachable" :)

We did look into SSB. I'll admit to not hearing about until only a few months ago, but the main reason we chose IPFS was for single-swarm behaviour, allowing for natural deduplication of content (a really nice property for dataset versioning).

The majority of our work has been in the exact area you mentioned, building up a dataset document model that will version, branch, and convert to different formats. We've gone so far as to write our own structured data differ (https://github.com/qri-io/deepdiff). I'm very happy with the progress we've made on this frontier so far.

I'm a huge fan of SSB, but don't think it's well suited for making datasets globally discoverable across the network. In the end the libp2p project tipped the scales for us, providing a nice set of primitives to build on.
No, the poster is saying that latencies are about 100x the theretical minimum latency due to speed of light, and thinks that will reduce to 10x.

I don’t know if these numbers are true, but poster was not claiming faster than light.
There are several reasons why Internet latency is inflated over direct-route speed-of-light latency. Some reasons may change others may not.

1) speed of light in fibre is 2/3c - unlikely to change soon
2) fibre is laid in the ground on a circuitous route - rarely changes but does happen
3) queueing delay - that's often the main culprit, changeable, but hard (see the buffer bloat debate)

Well at the very least one thing it has in common with the Eiffel Tower is that both were initially met with universal derision. The Eiffel Tower is now one of the most iconic and beloved landmarks in Paris...time will tell if the "Vessel" gets the same treatment.
How do you get two orders of magnitude? Round trip for light is ~150 ms. Using a cable it is slower, so more like 250 ms. Current latencies are only like 2x that.

Even with free space speeds and tunnels through the earth you only get like one order of magnitude.

TLDR:

The author has still to come to terms with the meaninglessness, contrivance and absurdity of her own life and of everything around her, and has been pushed by a meaningless, contrived and absurd building to write a similarly meaningless and contrived article. Oblivious to this, she is pushes herself even further into the void of meaninglessness, contrivance and absurdity.

I disagree. The last few years of BB included touch screen devices including some with touch keyboards. My view is that had BB leaned into the enterprise security solution that made the devices popular with businesses in the first place their story might have turned out different.
