You are still making a number of small bets unknowingly.

A "entire stock market index fund" (which one?) has a methodology for weighting the funds and the markets it invests in. Most funds today weigh their selection by market capitalization. A other weigthing method, such as considering country GDP, might deliver superior results.

Also such "entire stock market index funds" usually only include large cap stocks -- small or micro cap stocks may or may not deliver better results.

Also such "entire stock market index funds" often will exclude entire countries. E.g. the very popular MSCI World and MSCI Emerging Markets funds contain 0 stocks from Ukraine but last year Ukraine had the best performing stock market worldwide.
Why? It is not up to them to decide. It might be as simple as:

> Google does not allow access to GAE from Iran in order to comply with sanctions

Are you going to stop using all USA based companies if USa adds China to sancions list?
> There's light at the end of this tunnel in the form of compilers like Svelte or Stencil.js replacing frameworks.

I am a bit skeptical that adding more complexity to something that's already much more complex than it should can be a solution.
On Youtube, I subscribe to The Louisiana Channel (for the Louisiana Museum in Denmark). Arthur Jafa mentions American Pictures in this recent interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iprTrTgXvZ8&t=0s. So I googled it.
I think this is actually an admirable example of why Firebase is a fantastic option for a startup. This company had made no optimisations for this and would have lost a rare opportunity for virality.

Would you pay 30k$ for 2million people to look at and try your site? I would for any business I was running. If your servers were on fire at the start of that, would you pay 30k to keep your servers up?
“No other media could get away with spreading anything like this...”

Meanwhile several major media sites are claiming the video Trump shared was this same doctored video, when it was merely a montage of regular video clips.

We can’t even begin to have a conversation about censoring private companies without it immediately being used as a political weapon.
I think there's a canyon between outright calling an approach "madness" and simply… understanding its advantages, yes.

Performance is a concern, and that's one of the main reasons why serverside rendering is being adopted as a technique. So when OP berates the existance of SSR, I have to wonder if they understand the larger picture. If it's rude for me to point this out, I apologize for being rude; my point still stands, though.

I don't think the SPA approach is the end-all-be-all but I'm definitely happy to have adopted it for my current project (a mid-size web app mixing classic list views and a few more complex bits and pieces here and there). Had I done it with jQuery, I'd still be building it; and had I done it in my classic hybrid approach, I would not have as many options as I currently do when building new pages/views.
Idk in regards of how better the code can be structured with React or Vue, but opening apps based in these frameworks makes similar effect to starting Monero miner locally.
Ask for help with something trivial but not unimportant. Then ask if they have done something like that before and see where the conversation goes. A little bit of flattery goes a long way.
They are a de-facto distributor, even if it wasn't their intention to be one.

I guess you could have the SNS topic invoke a lambda that shuts down the specific service if you wanted that but I agree a budgets feature would be nice, especially when provisioning test accounts for developers.
It's funny, as someone who grew up with books and the burgeoning world wide web, I hadn't thought of this. When I'm learning a topic I tend to buy or print books so I can soak it in. When I to learn a quick task I go online. Books tend to be great for the why's of something but not the how's. Online is great for the how's but not the why's. I think a blended approach has ended up being the best way for me to learn. I do have a genuine love of books though.
The great thing about living in a free society is choices. Some people might like to have 4 dogs in the same way someone else might want to have a swimming pool. To each their own and we should avoid passing value judgement on individual preferences when it has nothing to do with ourselves.
> OnePlus supports Android on their phones ridiculously long times.

I would challenge that. I'm still waiting for Android Pie (August 2018) on my OnePlus 3T (November 2016). That's not even two years, and while OnePlus have promised to eventually bring Pie to this phone, it's already almost 9 months late. By the time the 3T is updated to Pie, Android Q will be out.
I meant a year of runway as my current expenses renting... owning a home would come after finding a job/saving :) I wasn't clear on that. Sorry!
I’ve found it’s helpful to just be genuinely curious about the people you meet. This seemed hard because although I am curious, I’m introverted and I don’t like to be nosy. But you don’t have to Start with heavy questions. For example, asking where someone is from and how they got here, or, if you’re taking to a couple, how they met, lets them answer however they are comfortable.

One thing I have noticed is that asking about what people do for a living is often not as interesting. Perhaps because it’s a very common opening question in America to assess whether the other person is “worthy”, people often respond with something canned and sometimes even performative. Once you get to know them a little it’s easier to have a meaningful conversation about what they do.
I'm curious - what are the types of vulnerabilities that lie in the client-side jQuery?
This is old news i remember this.
If you want to initiate small talk don't leave it too long, start with a greeting if you haven't already, ask 'how's it going' or 'how are you doing', come up with further questions if they give a complex response otherwise provide an anecdote about something you're up to (come up with these when you do the thing otherwise your mind will go blank when you go to bring something up).
Not GP but I think this wouldn't be a problem. The consumer dequeues with SELECT FOR UPDATE within a transaction. If it crashes the database would rollback the transaction, and then another consumer would be able to select the work unit.

As for acking, I see two common methods: using an additional boolean column, something like is_processed. Consumers skip truthy ones. Or, after the work is done, simply delete the entry or move elsewhere (e.g. For archival / auditing).
Ask HN: How to get a B2B SaaS idea, and get cutomers?
I want to build a revenue generating project but not sure how to find an idea and customers for it. Any advice would be appreciated.
On the similar line: Americans are often said to be unknowing since they mix up European cities / countries and can’t point them out on a map. But the reverse is totally true as well. Ask Europeans where Arkansas is (or how it is pronounced;) and few will know the answer. This mostly boils down to what you learn in school and how much ‘local’ news you are exposed to. I had plenty of European geography in school and very very little US geography. Of course I’m not talking about US/European millennials as they seem to know nothing about geography at all ;-)

I find this example ironic. Car accidents got the term "accident" for a reason. There are many accidents where the person in question thought they were doing it right only to miss something and end up in the hospital e.g tire low on air, some engine part failing, brake failed in unexpected weather conditions etc. It's similar to the cloud in that respect. You think you got it right only to have some unexpected spike in traffic or some other event trigger weaknesses in the setup and end up costing you

This is a nice intro to RNNs. The article title says RNNs are the workhorse of language modeling, but the transformer architecture used in models like BERT and GPT-2 handily beat RNNs.
They agreed to rates for previous rides and gave those rides.

This is true, but fixing the deadline and not committing to the scope requires clear communication by the project management / sales teams with the clients about it, and this is rare.
If you know your own vote is worse than average, then by tacitly increasing the value of other voters’ votes by not voting, you are thereby increasing the influence of better quality votes than your own vote (by your own premise).

Another way to go would be to just copy the average vote, which again by the premise would have to improve the quality of your vote.

If you know you are not informed, then not voting _really is_ one of the best things you can do, in a utilitarian sense.
I spoke to one such mom, asking her why she doesn't do Uber or Lyft instead, and she said because kids make a mess in the car and she can't clean it every time before taking passengers.
My question assumed a scenario where a consumer dequeues a batch, commits the deqieued change, and then crashes while processing the batch.

Offcourse one could delay the commit until all processing is completed but then reasoning about the queue throughput becomes tricky.
My advice would be to not worry about getting advice about customers until you have a solid idea and execution plan. No need to put the cart in front of the horse.

Identify a need in a community, build a product around that need.
I did that data curation and analysis in the mid 2000s, before it was all hip and well paid, and the CS group employed data curators because you need and experimented human being, to analyze the data in a peer-reviewed paper, and compare it to the authors’ conclusion. Half the time it doesn’t.

Finding reproducible or reproduced experiments happens at an even lower rate.

Then, context matter, and we know very little about each of our cell, even less about each one behaves in an ensemble.

So no amount of NLP will cure cancer, currently. It’s a simple garbage-in 101 case. It will hopefully change...

However, there is a good chance that traditional approaches to science will have worked well enough for most cancers, and NLP will just be a tool to validate after the fact, build comprehensive database and assist with incremental update to a treatment.
If you're going to do it at all, I agree, integration with GPU enabled libraries is a must. Even so, I could use DLLImport in VBA, and get access to Tensorflow from an Excel macro. I would say the same thing: you can get a dog to walk on two legs, but that's not what it was meant to do. 'Can' and 'should' are world's apart.

Did you ever think that you might want to put the user experience first?

Look at YouTube with their great SPA. If I'm on mobile and not using a flagship phone with 3gb of ram, it's just great: I scroll through my search results which are these idiotic incrementally loading page, then I select a video, watch it and want to go back. Surprise! I see the loading spinner again an my scroll position is lost. State seems so broken with SPAs that it only ever works in some demo apps that were solely built to prove that you can have SPAs with a working back button. Great, I already had that on YouTube in 2006 with a fancy and handy feature called pagination for the search results.

But I guess once we kill Firefox this will become much better since Google will just do whatever the duck they want with the web.
Wow. Strange example. SJ ran a company with thousands of employees.
yeah a lot of people will assert that games don't benefit from more threads, but, if you fire up fortnite or battlegrounds and look at your cpu grapsh, you will see at least 8 of them working pretty hard
> I'd say that we, developers, often move to overcomplicated and difficult tools/approaches.

Smart people with simple problems, we get bored, I guess. There's a lot of boring work out there.

I agree though, I went from Angular to ASP.NET back to React, and server side despite being less 'flashy' was much more productive with less effort.
The bit about cryptocurrency. Many in the HN community are anti-crypto and with just about as much emotional enthusiasm as an anti-vaxxer. I'm a long time member of HN, before crypto became popular. I've seen the continual rise in negative sentiment. As a veteran software engineer (cutting code since I was a kid in the 80's), there's always been a purist camp that can't quite wrap their head around the financial markets. Dotcommy crypto scams aside, some equate the financial markets with 'badness' or the dark side (wallst = bad). The adoption of crypto is inevitable and unstoppable. I spend my time developing algorithms for financial markets in C, C++ and Python and have yet to see any software engineers in this camp reject crypto. I encourage all to not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Crypto is a great trading vehicle and a great way for a new breed of company to raise capital from a new and truly global capital market.

I'd encourage those that are anit-crypto in the community to adapt. I never wanted to move from real BBSs to Compuserve, but I had to. Never moved to AOL just went straight to geocities which was a mistake but here we are.
I have to mention this every time I see it... The crowdfunding campaign mentioned in this article took place in "Colombia" not "Columbia." There is no country by the name of "Columbia." This problem is so aggravating to Colombians they even sell t-shirts in their airports that say "IT'S COLOMBIA NOT COLUMBIA"
As said in the book. The US already has similar program, J-1 visa program allows Au pair, EduCare, Interns, trainees to work in the country.
Have they taken the step towards decentralizing, or are they creating more reasons for people to make that step instead? I guess in some contexts that counts as the step anyway...

But you don't need to learn the very latest language in order to learn programming.

I think it's pretty obviously nonsense to claim you can't teach yourself programming at all using the books available right now.

I agree it's good to get people to talk about themselves but as an introvert don't you just hate when someone does that to you? I know I do. I think it would be better to balance it out a little. Sometimes I try to come up with some good stories to tell. Keep them short, to the point, and funny. I think people appreciate that. They will usually add comments or tell their own story and off you go. I like to prepare a few beforehand. Don't be boorish and let the other person interject as much as possible. Try to keep away from controversial or political topics, unless you want to take on that kind of conversation. If you do be nice and respectful of the other side of your argument.
Funny that a mere two mo ths ago, when I posted this, many on HN begged to differ:

Distributed doesn't mean that noone makes choices.

If you want to file a PR you need access to whatever the maintainer chose. If the maintainer wants PRs via github and won't accept them via email, your alternatives are to access github, not submit the PR, or have a proxy access github for you. Possibly a human proxy.

Wouldn't this only be true if we were talking only about total market indexes? But most index funds aren’t total market funds.
Remembering flags is hard, yes. If you use a lot of different apps remembering the flags for something you use infrequently is a pain. I don't think I've ever used ffmpeg without looking at the docs first.

As for shell scripts, they are a thing, and this thing is one (just written in node rather than bash.)
This website gave me the worst experience with iPhone.
Interesting, I was mostly thinking about the ARM's own cores, but never _really_ looked into the broader ecosystem.

From my personal experience, Apple chips are fast, but I can't really compare that to anything else. JS benchmarks match desktop performance, but that is not really what I was/am interested in.
I've tried some 'cloud ARM-based metal servers' which promised to have similar performance as intel Atom cpu's basically, but they felt at least 10 times slower. So I gave up on the whole concept.

But I guess the take-away is, those specific systems where slow not so much ARM in general. I mean, it does make sense that there is some scale difference between a Xeon core vs a core meant for mobile use now that I actually think about it ;)

If a politician gives a 20 minute speech, and I edit together a 1 minute summary of it, is that "altered"? Does it matter whether I chose the clips to make the politician look foolish? Who gets to decide what counts as foolish?
I don’t think so, and the first thing I would point to is pair programming, particularly promiscuous pairing. Promiscuous pairing in particular requires a relatively large amount of social interaction throughout the day but improves code quality and skill level for teams who can actually pull it off.

>They just want “free” things provides by government and lower taxes.

As a young American myself, I would gladly pay (significantly) more in taxes in exchange for a much stronger social safety net. Broadly, this is for two reasons, one altruistic and one selfish:

1) There are tons of people in dire economic straits through no direct fault of their own; those whose industries are dying, those whom our healthcare system has failed, etc. I can't ignore this in good conscience if there's something we as a society can do to improve the situation.

2) While I'm well-off as a tech worker right now, and demand is high, there's no guarantee that will continue to be the case indefinitely. It would give me much peace of mind if the lower bound of how far I could ultimately fall was a lot higher than it is now.

The fonts didn’t even render for me in iOS safari. Also they prevent the back button from working.
For practically every distributed or decentralized tech we have, there is a tech that complements it and at the same time negates it. The banal example is cryptocurrencies and centralized exchanges. Part of the reason is that there's just so much money to be made from centralization and monopolization, but it's surely not the whole story.
Nonsense. Making a good DSL is easy. I’ve built production DSLs that users adore.

What’s hard is finding developers who know the domain and its users in the first place. You can’t solve a problem if you don’t understand the problem space. And most devs don’t understand shit except how to turn it off and on again, nor are they willing to learn. So if your average professional university-educated programmer can’t even get a simple turnkey CRUD app right, what chance of them delivering a tool that successfully hands those keys to its users?

..

Go read the “Collaborative Work Practices” chapter of “A Small Matter of Programming: Perspectives on End User Computing” by Bonnie A Nardie that describes how basic users, expert users, and trained developers can develop their own software tools together, where each layer supports and educates the layers above and below it.

And then count the number of programmers you know who’d embrace working like that. Sadly I doubt you’ll run out of fingers.
For me it’s not. But for some people it is down.

No idea. But I've seen videos of people bursting balloon and others commenting on them, encouraging it, like a crowd cheering in front of gladiators.

Sorry I was unclear: "it's economically profitable to lie to people" ... for the agent promulgating the lie. Which incentivizes the creation of widely-believed fictions, despite societal cost.

> Did you ever think that you might want to put the user experience first?

As I've repeatedly explained in the comments, I'm not arguing that you should use an SPA, and I'm not arguing that SPAs have necessarily better UX. You still have to be a good dev.

SPAs are not footgun-protections and the issues you're listing are fairly easily solved. Maybe they're not natively solved by SPAs, but other approaches also have their natively-unsolved problems, so this is moot.

> But I guess once we kill Firefox this will become much better since Google will just do whatever the duck they want with the web.
