But then you need a name for schools you can't just buy your way into.

In particular England had schools explicitly only for the offspring of religious congregations, for offspring of workers in specific guilds (groups which monopolised certain industries like silver smithing or candlemaking) or other groups. The public schools are a reaction to those schools, because a new class of "self made" rich people found that they couldn't afford private tutors for the kids, yet the existing schools were not open to them.

Some of the schools the state funds actually do have other requirements still today, including entry exams and religious tests, though most do not.

> > We can't support nested groups with MySQL in a performant way

> All they had to do was implement a nested set pattern for their groups

Or an association matrix.

Though if their concern is performance and they are using recursive CTEs in postgres, they may have hold of the wrong end of the stick.

Because CTEs are an optimisation fence for predicate push-down in postgres they can sometimes result in much more expensive query plans than in other DB engines (for instance, MS SQL Server), resulting in excess index/table scanning. This makes them far more a code convenience feature rather than a performance one (they might improve the performance of your coders by making maintenance easier, but might not improve the performance of your system in action).

> > MySQL doesn't support partial indexes

> This is true, but is it really a show stopper?

No, but yes. On their own systems it isn't, as they don't use mySQL. On small self-installs it isn't as they are unlikely to have enough data for it to make a measurable difference. Larger self-installs can just throw hardware at the problem... But supporting a backend that doesn't have them, when they find them useful in their own large installs, means either doing without across the board or needing to maintain two code paths which means more work and more bugs.

> > As a side note – we don't use MySQL ourselves

> I think this is the real reason

I would agree there, though I'd not go as far as to suggest a lack of talent.

The fact that their dev teams and their own production environments don't routinely use MySQL means that they are less likely to hit specific issues that they code has with that back-end during early dev, instead catching them in later QA when fixes are more expensive to implement or worse not catching them at all until release.

Furthermore, supporting mySQL does not just mean supporting the latest version: 8.0 may be over a year old now but that is not nearly long enough for older releases to have been replaced globally especially as 5.7 is marked as officially supported up to 2023. This will be why recursive queries are an issue: mySQL prior to 8.x does not support them, all supported versions of postgres do.

> I think this is the real reason

A cynic (who? me?) might also suggest that an extra reason factoring into their decision is user selectivity. There is a perception that mySQL is easier to install and optimise, or that there is more support out there because it is more commonly supported out-of-the-box on managed hosting. While this perception may not be true, that it exists has an effect and it might put off certain (less experienced) admins from installing themselves, potentially reducing support burden and perhaps funnelling some of them towards GitLab's own hosted services...

Also worth noting, I continue to use the 'Show Desktop' feature and have done so until Windows 10. (There's a hack in Win10 where you can enable the old 'Quick Launch' feature). I use this to quickly show how responsive the system is.
> All they had to do was implement a nested set pattern for their groups

Nested set is not at all performant. It has much worse read and worse write performance (also, takes more storage space) than adjacency list with in-DB recursive queries.
I don't necessarily disagree with this, but I can understand why Germany would be reluctant to significantly expand its military, and I can understand even better why the entire rest of Europe (especially, but not only, Russia) would prefer to have Germany protected by American nukes and not German nukes.

> Decriminalization (which is subtly different than legalization) of drugs isn't in conflict with preventing addiction and abuse by treating these as health problems, which is what they actually are.

It is when you hold the belief that addiction is a moral failing. Most parts of the US seem to be digging out from under that misconception, though. Finishing it off for good could be the one good thing to come out of the opioid epidemic.
I am from the same country as the commenter: there is a free public system of healthcare. I'm not using it. There is private insurance as well: I'm not using it either. Im doing cash pay for visits and they cost 20U$S each.

The universal care works against my usage in the case of Argentina, but I can still handle myself privately without hassles. The problem in the US is NOT that it lacks a public option.

Google and Facebook under scrutiny over UK ad market dominance
I think what we've got in the US cannot be described as capitalism either. The market is way too regulated to be a well functioning market. I think we've just got the right mix of capitalism, regulation and complexity for the average consumer to be confused to get the perfect crony capitalism. The US health Care system is a Rube Goldberg machine made out of grifters.

Edit: of course there are great people working in health care, but they get ground to pieces by the grifting machine.
Facebook images broken, Instagram and WhatsApp struggling too
5) Just sends you a newsletter
There are laws in place to address public release of info about minors. A lot of schools require a parent's signature before they'll post a public picture of a student, even if just captured incidentally. My wife's school is pretty paranoid about this stuff, mostly because of things like custody issues, restraining orders, etc. So a legal framework is in place, one with a little more teeth behind it than your typical EULA.
I have one of the older Pi-Tops. Everything about it except the price is cheap. The keyboard was just awful, the trackpad was worse, the battery management totally sucked, and the screen was annoyingly low resolution. Very disappointing.

The new one looks considerably different than the model I have, so maybe they've fixed the issues, but I'm not inclined to buy another.

I’ve looked at a lot of these services built atop SES (including Sendy), but the main problem that you still seem to have to spend a lot of time accounting for is not getting marked as spam by clients like Gmail. There are things you can do to help stop this, but it takes a lot of manual intervention.

In any event, it’s good stuff like this exists. I would actually be curious to know how many email newsletter services that aren’t one of the big players (Mail Chimp, Adobe, Constant Contact, etc) aren’t just built on SES.

If you retain your ISRCs and UPCs when moving from one distributor to another, links and stream counts will remain as is.

Surely that's an issue solved by the market, if there is a distributor that is reliable & fairly priced then people will move to use and stay with them. I think the current issue is that a lot of the big name distributors are marketers first, distributors second.
Hate the game, not the player.

Only a small minority of cultures allowed homosexuality and even in those it wasn't very common. Even in modern societies, where it is socially acceptable only a small minority has deviant sexual preferences, probably less than 5%, so, no, this has never been normal and will likely never be. So enough of this already; the backlash is going to be harsh if natural sex roles will be stifled any further. It should be even in the interest of queers to let it cool off at this point.

So backups are against the law in the UK? How does that work?

Note: You can digitally "rip" an audio CD as a digital file; technically you are making a backup of the data that forms the audio on the CD. Provided you are only doing this for your personal use (not sharing), and you keep the original (that's an important part) - I can't see how such a law would even be enforceable?

Furthermore - what if you have old software from say, an IBM/370 system - that your business needs? You don't have that system any longer because the pieces all died, and they went to a museum, but you still rely on the software written in COBOL, so you run it on an emulator on a PC...

...obviously, the software is no longer running off of tapes or punchcards or whatever - ie "format shifting" - does this law cover that scenario too? "Sorry, chap, you'll just have to stuff your business because your antique computer died, but them's the breaks, mate?" - my sincere apologies... :)

Seriously, though - it just seems a trifle limiting if that's the case - ultimately preventing the use of backups and shifting of those backups onto future media (can you copy a floppy to your hard drive and run it from there?)...

Here in the United States, backups are allowed, of any media; but I do think there is a technical limitation in that you have to own the original copy, and you have to make the backup yourself. Thus, a copy of a ROM for an emulator would be a-ok, as long as you own the original cartridge, plus the original system it runs on - but you have to pull that ROM image from the cartridge (and any images needed for the emulated system from the original system) yourself - a copy from another source is not "legal".

In practice, nobody does this, though - but it probably could be checked for via serial numbers in the ROMs, if they wanted to enforce it.
> Some friends and I would link to files that didn't set content length and would feed them data forever.

That seems spectacularly unwise (or at least useless) for all but a minuscule portion of people. Either you stop feeding them data after a short while, and don't care, or you keep feeding them data, and I'm pretty sure Google cares less about (and pays less for) data transfer than you do.

Best case scenario you're trickling data to them and just keeping the connection open as long as possible. Even then, Google likely cares about one connection and the resources it takes far less than you do (even if you care little).

If it makes you feel better, it's maybe worth it, but it feels akin to carrying a marker with you so you can cross out Google's name in any newspaper you happen to be reading. It's an act of protest, but its impact leaves a lot to be desired.
I first used a Macintosh 512k when I was around 5 years old. I had my own PC by the time I was 18 (a dual celeron 300A at one point) and I now spend my days doing programming and web development.

I’m now 38 and I’ve seen my two year old son’s face light up when he sees his mum through the phone screen.

My wife’s parents are on the other side of the planet and their intercontinental video chats connect them to our family.

I love science, math, philosophy and photography. I should care about pixel perfect truth. But to me the value of FaceTime is entirely emotional. I say that when my wife looks into my eyes, I want to see her eyes looking at mine. The fact that this isn’t how it works now is because of optical distortion. While this isn’t a true holistic fix for the underlying distortion—that would be amazing—it looks like a neat solution.

I’ve not seen it live and I’ll reserve final judgment till then. If it’s even slightly noticeable I’ll absolutely hate it. But if I can see no sign of trickery when staring into my wife’s eyes, it might just make the world a happier place, even if only a tiny bit.

Anecdotal Comments < Hard Evidence. US is indeed in relative decline.
Two weeks, I had open heart surgery in my mid-20s in the US.

My main takeaway is this: those of us who work in tech or companies with decent health insurance are extremely fortunate.

In total (knock on wood that this doesn’t go up), I spent around $10k out of pocket.

This included more than surgery itself:

- multiple ER visits because of my deteriorating valve

- a LOT of dentist work (cleanings, fillings, wisdom teeth removal); these things increase your risk of stroke/heart attack after heart surgery.

- multiple visits with cardiologist and surgeon consultations

- pre-operation

- six days in the hospital recovering

To be honest, that’s a lot less than I expected to pay. However, I can’t help but think of people in less fortunate positions that would 1) get fucked by the bills if they had no insurance or 2) still go into debt despite having insurance. When you really think about it, all options are ridiculous for an operation that is literally do-or-die.

I’d also like to add a note on specialized vs ‘routine’ care here in the US. Or my experience with it, anyway.

All specialized treatment I received (dentist, heart surgery, cardiologist) was outstanding.

Routine cafe was awful, and ER visits were nothing short of ridiculous. I went in with chest pain/shortness of breath (that I now know was very serious). I waited for 6 hours. They gave me some blood work and an ekg and sent me on my way. I went again the next week, because my symptoms were getting progressively worse. Once again, I waited about 6 hours in the waiting room before getting an ekg and some blood work. Both visits were a complete waste of time. Luckily, I saw a cardiologist shortly after who gave me an echocardiogram and identified the valve issue.

This (the shortness of breath, dentist visits, surgery) was all done within the last two months. Were I in a less fortunate financial position, I probably would have hesitated to even go to the cardiologist. Especially after having thrown money at the ER for nothing.

It’s unfortunate how our healthcare system mirrors some sort of class-based hierarchy: If you can afford it, great! Else, get fucked.

Elsewhere in the thread, it sounds like your needs a little more robust. But for anyone reading who might be interested:

- Tesla K40 12GB cards are ~$130 on US eBay, and have been for awhile

- These cards are passive, though, intending to be used in wind tunnel servers

High pressure 40mm fans are LOUD, though. I run a desktop with two K40s in my garage, and I can hear it a tiny bit standing outside in my driveway. (I mostly use that box for neural net art experiments like various style transfer workflows)

I didn't downvote you since legitimate opinions shouldn't be downvoted but the reason I think you're wrong is that US is a particularly chronic case of the government serving the needs of capitalism above and beyond the population at large.

State granted monopolies aren't capitalism. What the US has is literally the worst of capitalism and socialism mixed together in some sort of corrupt, inept, admin heavy hybrid system.

I registered an account for some software company that was acquiring some other services, so the left hand wasn't talking to the right.

Sure enough, different parts of the site had different password requirements, and they enforced them on password change. So you could create an account on a sub-site that wasn't accepted on the main site, which was the only site with the password change page, but you couldn't enter the old password to fix it.

I think password reset did work, but I wound up creating another password that worked in one place but not another...

Kids are naive, not stupid. They will ignore the camera until someone gets caught... from then on Big Brother will be lurking in the shadows of their mind.

I grew up in an environment like that, my paranoid parents were a fan of security cameras all over the house because we grew up in a "risky" area. The cameras definitely led to a feeling of being mentally caged in, always being watched and worried about doing something wrong.

It works pretty well, but it has the same issue I see with a lot of these object tracking algos - it jitters all over even when I’m holding as still as I can. Why are these systems so sensitive and unstable? Could the algo be trained to prefer similar output for similar inputs to reduce the flicker at the cost of some accuracy?
The theory is that if the people that couldn’t pay also got lower level services in the first place they wouldn’t be straining the ER rooms.

This is especially a problem in SF with the homeless population. They obviously have no normal healthcare, but the hospital I went to was inundated with them (my own 5 day stay there was billed at over $80k; no surgery).

I've taken a look at Ramda! It does look very nice; I think the goals of Ferrum and Rambda are a bit different: Rambda seems to aim at being a kind of FP standard library for JS so in that regard it is more comprehensive than Ferrum.

Ferrum on the other hand is primarily designed to introduce some new features for iteration libraries in JS: Reverse Currying, Objects as Sequences and Lazyness are not provided by Rambda. Both Rambda and Ferrum feature a `pipe()` function.

Also Ferrum provides a Traits and a standard library of traits like Eq, Rambda does not I think :)

So I would prefer using Ferrum/Sequence over the list transformation functions from rambda because of the above mentioned features, but that shouldn't stop anyone from using the rest of Rambda (or even underscore or lodash); you should be able to mix and match functions from rambda and ferrum without any issue; even in the pipe functions; so I would say use Ferrum/Trait and Ferrum/Sequence and keep using Rambda for the rest because it's great; I think I'll add another example for mixing Ferrum and Rambda and Lodash :)
This is why I love HN.
