Ruby 3x3 is a thing (make Ruby 3.0, 3x faster), and Ruby 2.6 is said to include an optional JIT compilation mode.

I haven't seen any benchmarks or analysis that say JIT is ready for production use, but indications are strong that the next version of Ruby will include a lot of surprising things, like maybe a type system?

Ruby got a reputation for being slow very early on, and my understanding is a lot of that was due to slow code in Rails (version 2 and/or 3?). Rails is a lot better now. Ruby continues to evolve. Still, I don't know how many Ruby developers have chosen it for reasons owing to CPU-intensive work. This does seem like a stretch, even if we are beating Python in some benchmarks.
Seeing as how most religions require a minimum 10% tithe, their followers would of course seem to be charitable. But is it really charity if it is a requirement? I’d call it a tax.
> Dumb people are not happier.

We have to differentiate between unintelligent and uneducated. For the latter, there are several studies showing that lack of education can mean lack of imagination of alternative. For example in The Idea of Justice Amartya Sen described the phenomenon of rural uneducated Indian women reporting less content with their own health after they received basic health education: Suddenly they were aware that there actually was an alternative to many of their miseries.

The author spends a lot of time saying the changes aren't immutable, then goes on to say "Chrome is deprecating the blocking capabilities of the webRequest API in Manifest V3".

That seems both very final, and as if they have entirely failed to read any of the feedback the community has given them.

I think your point is genuine, but would it be fair to rephrase your personal problem as the lack of convincing arguments... as far as you are aware?

Also, just to point out something you take for granted:

You use the word "good" in your argument.

What is your standard of "good"ness?

Is it an objective, universal, absolute standard of good and evil?

Or is it whatever the loudest voice in the room demands it to be?
I dunno, I see the pendulum swinging back again. Or it might just be my contrariness. But building anything decent out of stitching together various third-party services with the baling twine and duct-tape of HTTP... it's not going to end well, and I think people are realising this.

> huge files with huge numbers of duplicates

At least on the stock MacOS awk, you can get up to 2^53 before arithmetic breaks (doesn't wrap, just doesn't go up any more which means the one-liner still works.)

> echo '2^53-1' | bc
9007199254740991
> seq 1 10 | awk 'BEGIN{a[123]=9007199254740991;b=a[123]}{a[123]++}END{print a[123],b,a[123]-b}'
9007199254740992 9007199254740991 1

Even with one character per line, you'd need an 18PB file before you got to this limit, afaict.
Though this is not the focus in this discussion, I expect the most likely situation where police officers would want to talk to me inside the house - instead of just standing at the door - is because they've come to tell me some family member has died in an accident, and they prefer people to sit down when they hear this.

The police gets to do that kind of rather unpleasant jobs. Not their fault.
You have conflated the awk tool with an entire operating system. The operating system of course has many tools, and there are many more tools that one can further add to it, dealing with a range of file formats.
I was a bit surprised to see this coming out of ASUS, as the logical conclusion to designs like this is the complete commoditization of the motherboard. I think, however, they got things right in that the current specifications on case/mounting/power are detrimental to the future value and growth of computing.

Motherboards used to be pretty standard fare: CPU socket, RAM slots, expansion slots, with differentiation coming from peripheral, BIOS, and stability/overclockability. Nowadays, CPU manufacturers have taken over a segment of the differentiation (chipset, or platform capabilities), so most of the differentiation is in aesthetics and branding. In this world, the grab bag of peripherals become a tradeoff, the cost per unit versus the percentage of market share it opens. Manufacturers have to increase their overall cost per unit in order to get access to the users who each have their own must-have peripherals.

Something like this moves things in the right direction by removing a lot of the overhead in motherboard manufacturing. If you look at the bandwidth required for todays peripherals, even in the most maxed out possible configuration, you won't be able to saturate an x16 PCIe 3.0 link:
* 1.2 GB/s 10Gb Ethernet
* 3.0 GB/s 6 SATA ports
* 9.6 GB/s 8 USB 3.1 ports
* 0.2 GB/s Wifi 6
* 0.1 GB/s Audio

The Utopia concept allows for multiple mini-PCIe blocks, but you could simplify it and just make the case one big PCIe device that handles IO.

USB4 goes a bit beyond that, with each port using up to an x4 PCIe 3.0 link, so you might want have direct access to motherboard USB4 slots (especially since this allows exposing integrated graphics cards via alternate mode).

I hope one day to see the motherboard simplified to a plug-in card which holds CPU socket and RAM sockets, and exposes PCIe and M.2 slots for connectivity.
Show HN: Freckles – A Stdlib for Devops, and More
I wonder if this will lead to significant speed ups in databases like ElasticSearch, where operations on large bitmaps (each pixel representing a term’s presence in a document) are commonplace. Do you have any insight into this?
In the beginning, Chrome was bundled with Flash, and Flash was ubiquitous.

When you installed or upgraded Flash, unless you checked a checkbox, Chrome would be installed.
Hi HackerNews!

Let me introduce to you 'freckles', the dotfile-manager project that went a bit too far...

'freckles' is my take on 'Infrastructure as code', keeping the whole thing as nimble and flexible as possible. My main focus was on creating a very minimal interface, to make it approachable to non- (or not-yet-) devops/sys-admin folk. But also to allow for really simple integration into existing workflows and tools, and to be able to use it from every programming language.

Currently, 'freckles' uses Ansible as its only back-end, that will change in the future (I have plans for a shell back-end, as well as Terraform, Kubernetes, and a few others).

I chose Ansible because that way 'freckles' can re-use all of the existing Ansible modules and roles out there, and I figured that way it'll be useful straight away.
Plus, I hope to have an easier time showing what I have in mind with 'freckles' if the technology behind it is familiar to at least a part of my target audience.

Currently it is in early beta stage, so expect some things that won't work. I did testing on Mac OS X, but since I don't own a Mac I expect more breakage there. Please let me know if you have issues! Also, there are still tidbits of documentation missing, and some navigational stuff doesn't work on mobile properly yet.

Anyway, I'd be interested what HackerNews thinks. Does the website make it clear what 'freckles' is and can do? Or should I spend more time on massaging my message, so to speak? Other feedback? Do you reckon it could be useful to whatever it is you do?

Cheers!

Netflix's interface isn't complicated. Surely some codeless platform is capable of something similar.

The technically hard part is the infrastructure to unicast millions of videos at a time, but that's now available from several cloud providers.

The really hard part isn't technical, it's content. Disney might be able to build the next Netflix with a codeless interface to videos on the cloud, but a high school student wouldn't.
Ask HN: What is the best accounting software for an R&D stage startup?
We're trying to figure out what sort of accounting software we should use for what is essentially cost management right now since we dont have any cashflows. A HN thread I found in 2016 seemed to conclude that quickbooks was probably the way to go, but I wonder if that still holds in 2019 with some of these new services like Pilot? Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks!

I'm not sure about this at all, but I wonder if both parties feel they have to smile first for something to happen. A social protocol, a non-verbal handshake, carried out before moving to the verbal. Kinda like how all partners in a remote business sometimes feel they are doing more work than everyone else, even if they are not.

Independent of whether this "mutual sensation of making first moves" idea is true or false, the right answer, as an actor, is to smile.

We can imagine infinity and its implications. E.g. what is the largest number? After thinking about it a bit, we realize there is no such thing. In that sense, we are not like finite computational devices. A computer cannot make the same kind of inference. It has to have the answer given to it.

I mean, that just means the compiler needs to ignore the `Future::await()` function scope and rewrite the context above. It's already being magical. A slight indirection in implementation would be worth the pedagogical clarity, I think.
Definitely, this is also why it's important that Angular is making strides towards reducing the total download size. This is, in fact, exactly what is happening with this release (and it will only improve when Ivy is released).

This does not mean the frontend community should continually be bending over backwards reinventing wheels just so the claim can be made that a certain package is now "only 1.6k GZipped!", imho.
Interesting. So it may be related to hardware acceleration (GPU)? Or even processor type (think side channel attack mitigations.)
Classic Shell is still invaluable. It gives you a start menu where you can actually search for things that are in the start menu, and it will find them, which is a huge improvement on the default experience.

Has anyone noticed that since a few weeks mobile Chrome shows a really curious behavior?

On a normal webpage:

- I scroll down -> address bar is hidden.

- I scroll up a bit and then down again -> address bar is shown

On any AMP page:

- I scroll down a bit -> address bar is hidden

- and then I can scroll in any direction I want and the address bar never appears unless I scroll to the very top

For me that feels like Google wants to keep me inside the AMP page and makes it harder to navigate to a normal page.
I got a content warning when I exported, because the format is json.

To reiterate, without knowing about your application, it isn't easy to make recommendations.

It sounds like the Animal table is going to be the join table between Pet and the different types of animal tables. Correct?

You haven't mentioned a need to store differentiating information - e.g. species, genus, family - in the different animal tables (Dog, Cat, etc.). So it sounds like you could skip the one table per animal notion and just have the Animal table contain animal types like rabbit, dog, etc. Then it becomes the "one" in the one-to-many relationship with Pet.
Apple's mail program does this. If the receiver of the email is also using Apple mail, the link aspect is transparent. I've only had to use it a few times, but it was wonderfully helpful.
And if they do ever hit it, having never seen a reason to use it before, they instead layer over it with poorly thought out abstractions leading to unmaintainable code that they'll probably hoist onto the next dev.

I know I am picking on one small part of your argument, but I really hate this line of thinking. So what? Who cares why someone is charitable? I assume most people not doing it in "self-interest" feel good when they do it - does that invalidate the charity? Nobody does anything in a vacuum.

Rails is ideal for the "Get Shit Done" approach to development. However, Ruby's type system does not provide many assurances, making mature codebases harder to maintain, refactor, and extend (as compared to codebases in, say, well-written Java). I am surprised this was not listed as one of the criticisms. Sorbet, a type checker for Ruby, stands to make this criticism less valid: https://sorbet.org/

> People who support their church don't generally share your view that the church is exploiting them

True, but it also doesn't mean they're not being exploited.

I choose to believe my employer cares about me, but it doesn't mean they do, and it's likely they might know I think that and use it to their advantage.

I hold nothing against personal faith, but I find it unsettling the balance of wealth across organised religions - seeing the gold opulence centralised at the (likely) expense of largely the poor across a lot of faiths is horrifying.

It might be more of a societal good for a local church to extract money from their congregation than for it to be spent on, say, padding Amazon's pockets, but it doesn't mean it's not taking advantage of said peoples.

Each to their own, but the notion that tithes might be linked to eternal glory or damnation for the giver can hardly make them entirely freely given.
React has also been using classes for a long time (although the trend is to move away from them for performance and simplicity reasons). There is also a huge upward trend of people using TypeScript with React. Personally, after using TypeScript & Angular at work, I've preferred switching to TypeScript when using React in personal projects.

My main gripe with Angular (vs. React) has been the lack of first class support for patterns (higher order components) that have been a boon for React. It does look like Angular will have more 1st class support with Ivy[1], however, higher order components are so simple with React (and even better with TS/React).

Maybe you're underestimating the popularity of newsletters? People like getting useful stuff in their inbox, and RSS really isn't a thing for non-technical users. Getting regular "deliveries" of a newsletter/magazine is ideal for a lot of users, even if it makes life hard for those "delivering".

As far as layouts, you can actually do a whole lot these days, depending on how far back you're willing to go, in terms of compatibility. There are a variety of tools designed to help you build a widely-compatible layout, and then confirm that it looks correct in your target email clients. And it's largely a "do once, then re-use" task, which is great.
You need to be aware of how the religion defines things because that definition has teeth for people actually living in those countries. The punishment for leaving (apostasy) is generally death. A third of people in the country where I’m from believe that really should be the punishment. (And it’s one of the “moderate” ones—in Egypt it’s about 2/3.) It’s a self-perpetuating system, which goes to the soundness of OP’s counting methodology above.

In Egypt, the rate of wearing some form of veil went from almost zero in the middle of the 20th century to 90% today. For the most part, that trend is enforced through various degrees of social coercion.
> It's also important to note that you don't need religion to be charitable or help other people.

Right, and you don't need a running club to motivate you to run or a school to help you learn. But for a lot of people, they sure do help if being charitable/running/learning is your goal.

Four Ways to Turn Organizational Restructurings to Your Advantage
That's true, and numerical analysis can be quite helpful for mathematical insight. However, I've never found the math to code part to be tricky. It's mostly an after thought compared to the conceptualization itself. So the emphasis on coding math suggests a reversal of priorities. In my experience, focusing on the coding part becomes very inefficient, especially with combinatorial problems. No matter how tricky I get with the implementation, a combinatorial explosion is still a combinatorial explosion. Coming up with a neat analytic solution ends up being super efficient in comparison.
