I was replying to the previous comment and refer to the exact comment.

The previous comment did not mention this, instead, it is "Han promised riches for citizens of kaoshung, went to visit China right after the election, and yet haven’t done a single thing yet to improve the city, before running for president.".

What I was saying is that this is not a valid argument.
To anyone reading this and thinking - well what can I do? Become vegetarian. TODAY. I eat 95% vegetarian now and I don't notice the difference whatsoever, if anything, I don't crave meaty foods anymore. The 5% is once a month kind of things such as pizza that have some ham on them. Changing to vegetarian is one of the best things you can do to help.

Does that mean you would prefer an autocratic system with codes of conduct and laws where authorities might get fired or even criminally charged if they cross a line over a democratic system? I could imagine that in terms of efficiency it would actually be preferable.

I've never used ZSH, so I don't know.

My instinct says that if you'd run into any problems, it would be with this line:

PROMPT_COMMAND="run_on_prompt_command"

Maybe ZSH has a different API? Again though, I've always just used bash, so you'd have to try it and see.
I see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don't believe this is the issue here. If it would have been, they wouldn't hesitate to use this as a reason there and not go with this marketing bs.
That's not a low cost solution though, and hard to just turn off the cost when you're done with your day
I prefer PC because i have real ownership of the games i buy (i mostly get my games from DRM-free stores like GOG) and no arbitrary backwards compatibility breakage (i have many games on CD from the 90s and 2000s that work on my brand new PC... though some need several workarounds, but still much preferable to not being able to play the game at all - nowadays i rip my CDs and DVDs to my external HDD alongside community made patches/fixes though so i do not have to deal with hardware issues and scratched disks).

Also the sort of games i prefer to play (FPSs, CRPGs and to a lesser extent simulation games) play much better on a PC than a console or mobile.

Note that with PC i do not mean Windows, although i do use Windows. But with Proton evolving i think that in a few years i should be able to play any game i want on Linux or even Mac (assuming Apple hasn't gone full retard in the meanwhile).

>It's a service very few people use that costs them money to maintain and support.

I'm not a Spotify expert so I'm not understanding why independents artist without labels "costs money to maintain support" that isn't already spent to enable the labels to upload their artists' songs.

Let's say a Universal Music Group[1] representative logs into Spotify's system to upload Justin Bieber's latest 4-minute song. (Spotify has spent money on their backend system to enable this upload workflow.)

Why does it cost more to Spotify to let the unknown-Joe-Blow-not-signed-to-a-label upload his 4-minute song?

What out of town writers need to know about SF (2014)
Unlikely. There are many orders of magnitude more ways to be well adapted to one environment than to be adapted to two or more environments. So if an organism is well adapted to high radiation it’s probably terrible at many, many other things that are irrelevant where it is now. There are plenty of extremophiles apart from these radiophiles. You don’t see microorganisms adapted to very high levels of acid, pressure, heat, cold or anything else suddenly exploding into new ecological niches regularly.

Consider the analogy to multiply resistant to antibiotics bacteria. They’re far more common in hospitals than elsewhere because hospitals are swimming in antibiotics. Once they leave the hospital environment they’re paying a cost to be antibiotic resistant with far lower benefits so they either lose the capacity or are outcompeted by other organisms in the same niche.

The explosion into a new niche does happen occasionally, when a new capacity is extremely useful or when an adaptation is discovered that is far more efficient but has similar costs or better than the alternative. I’m not familiar with any examples in microbiology but invasive species exist and so do we so we have existence proofs in macroorganisms.

> Radiotrophic fungi were discovered in 1991 growing inside and around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.[1]

The original study is open access and is worth reading. Here's an interesting little review:

> The literature already contains some indirect evidence for the notion that radiation can enhance the growth of melanized microorganisms. For example, the melanotic fungus C. cladosporioides manifests radiotropism by growing in the direction of radioactive particles and this organism has become widely distributed in the areas surrounding Chernobyl since the nuclear accident in 1986 [7]. Both in the laboratory and in the field several other species of melanized fungi grew towards soil particles contaminated with different radionuclides, gradually engulfing and destroying those particles [35], [36]. In addition, there are recent reports that certain life forms can utilize non-conventional forms of energy - microbes in geothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean can harvest thermal radiation as an energy source [37] while some microorganisms living in mines exploit energy from radiolysis of water [38]. On the basis of these precedents and the results of this study we cautiously suggest that the ability of melanin to capture electromagnetic radiation combined with its remarkable oxidation-reduction properties may confer upon melanotic organisms the ability to harness radiation for metabolic energy. The enhanced growth of melanotic fungi in conditions of radiation fluxes suggests the need for additional investigation to ascertain the mechanism for this effect.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1866175/

In particular the part about growing towards contaminated particles, "engulfing and destroying" them, seems like a finding with enormous practical potential.

I thought those files were a compromise when apple went to OS_X and got rid of the old "resource fork" park of the mac OS finder system. This data was part of the file, and let the operating system know which program to open the file with (even if it didn't have a .ext). But it made it hard to interopt.. But I might be a little off.

Yeah, I think it's funny that they're claiming that MySQL can't represent a tree structure performantly. What they should have said instead is that their db structure assumes the existence of WITH RECURSIVE and they don't want to change it.
I wonder how many people on HN are like me; no STEM background, no fancy degrees, no fancy qualifications, and thus don't even open either variety of thread because we're pretty confident we will never find listings in the one variety we are remotely qualified for and know that it is extremely unlikely anyone will want to hire us from the other variety.

Then factor in people also like me in Indy, that do not live anywhere near the bay area or other large tech center and have no interest whatsoever in relocating.
Right. Fundamentally, money is a common form of transferable debt. The web of repayment becomes so complicated that nobody bothers to track it and everybody agrees to the fiction that money can be used as a universal payment against any debt. It greatly simplifies trading.

The invention of "bank money" (money that only exists in ledgers) was an optimization of this as it no longer required the movement of the debt carrier (money) across large distances but rather movement of information about debts. This was the foundation of Banking in Italy and it helped kick off the Medici families domination of Florence and the gains made from moving information (rather than the costs of moving money) improved European trading and funded the Renaissance.

People and governments try to cheat the system by debasing the debt carrier and reducing its value, or by acting as middlemen in the exchange of debt carriers (currency converters, brokers, etc.). Inflation has sunk more than one large empire.

Similar distaster (like Falcon) happened in India with Tata Nano. It was touted as India's "cheapest" car. It definitely was the most economical car ever introduced and there was lot of hype of how it was going to enable 4-wheels for every household.

Except nobody bought. A car is more than its functionality. It is also a symbol.
I agree with your opinion about the dactyl, but I can see why they wouldn't include it in the list: it's not really commercially available. Sure, you can pay somebody to 3D-print and hand-wire it for you, but even then it's still very much a DIY product.
>> MySQL doesn't support partial indexes

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

I can’t comment on their data model but in my own experience partial indexes are an invaluable feature. In particular partial unique indexes as it both expands the guarantees of your data model that can be enforced by the database while taking up (what could be) considerably less space.

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

> I think this is the real reason. They just didn't have the necessary talent to implement the features correctly. Wrong schema specifications and not knowing to implement nested set patterns is a sign that they don't have a knowledgeable DBA on staff.

This must be the big one.

Given enough experts and a drive to make it work, technology finds a way.

Given no experts and not enough users to complain or care about breaking compatibility, technology finds the door.

6502 Assembler Basics [video]
“Morgantown, West Virginia [...] We were in the heart of Appalachia“

BS! Morgantown is definitely not the heart of Appalachia:

- It’s only 9 mi into WV!

- has population that doubles during the school semester

- has three or four federal agencies (FBI, NETL, NIOSH)

- showered with federal and state largess (thank you senator Byrd)

- has traffic jams worthy of a city with 10x it’s population

- has one of my favorite restaurants in the US

- has a significant private sector economy (Mylan, for one)

-if I recall, technically it didn’t have a recession in ‘08.

I’ve lived in Morgantown for a while. And while I certainly caught a glimpse of Appalachia, it certainly isn’t the heart. Maybe it’s about as redneck as the president of WVU dares to venture.
Also: our current mode of procreation without saving our genetic material is not recommended as a planetary threat or mass extinction event can leave us severely compromised.

For sure..a cataclysm or mass extinction event will..by definition..wipe out most if not all of the world’s living organisms..but we should be focusing on diverting our existing resources to living better to find solutions to save humanity and species survival rather than scraping by and hanging by a thread..hoping that mutations and sheer numbers will keep us going.

There was also a two year period to adapt. Everyone scrambled to do it in last week, or last few days.

It's a bit unfortunate that they use the same name as the Python3 async web framework Sanic:

https://github.com/huge-success/sanic/
https://sanicframework.org/

They won't help each other in web searches, and considering they are using "sanic" project name on github too, it might confuse people some more.
Even in that article with its highly click-baity and wrong headline (Spiegel Online has not been "reputable" for long time) they say that 18 months is merely the period after which they want to evaluate their 5-year program.

The interview clearly says that the rule applies to "the first 6 months of recruitment", which in my understanding of the process means "after the job ad is posted".

Btw, imho Dutch people have a tendency for "certainly good enough" solutions because it keeps things moving (instead of perfectionist stagnation whenever confronted with complexity like us germans often do). This 6-month period of only looking at female applicants during recruitment looks like one of those. Nobody says that this will stay the rule forever. Also consider that they will get very few female applicants anyway, so there is still a lot of room for men.
Yes and then you can't use most of the nice features of D. Forget about libraries.
Plenty of companies will mass upload your music to all of the streaming sites for like $20-30/year which sounds pretty cheap compared to the old days of needing a record label to do anything other than play in bars. Those companies aren't considered record labels, they are distributors which is almost what Spotify is doing. Some of those distributors offer engineering and marketing services too but it still doesn't make them record labels. There are so many record labels out there that there really isn't an issue with another smaller one popping up.
I think a perception problem occurs if less-qualified women get more funding than men. That means that the male scientists who get funded will actually just be better at their jobs, which is going to have the effect of perpetuating the perception that men make better scientists (which I think is obviously untrue, but this has always been a problem with affirmative action policies). I don't really see a way to solve this at the grant funding level.
Try to be an attractive male and you'll soon see there are many unwanted advances in your direction from women as well. Nothing is black and white.

Big companies are hardly ever coherent, let alone after a big pivot like Nadella’s.

The two things are also not exclusive: it might well be that MS “loves OSS” and that the ReactOS kernel was lifted wholesale from a Windows leak.

Besides, there are many who think projects like ReactOS or Mono are actually a net negative for the FOSS ecosystem, since they reduce the pressure on developers to switch away from Windows-based stacks.

they could always admit their ratios are way off, fire everybody, and create 10 new backend job applications - 5 of which will go to men and 5 to women, so that way their hiring is more fair to both men and women.

"The part you stated before the "BUT" is a statement of fact. The part you stated after the "BUT" is complete speculation."

Yes, actually, this entire comment chain is speculation because the original comment was a speculation. If that means that these positions are less merit then this entire comment chain has less merit.
It's fine if it's inferior to ahead-of-time optimization with programmer input, because you don't have time for a programmer to optimize the kernel code anew every time you spawn a process or open a pipe or a socket. It just needs to be faster than what the kernel is doing now when you call read() or write() or whatever, without being too much slower when you open the file (etc.)

Like, ahead-of-time optimization with programmer input might take a few hours to a few days, and that's not really an acceptable execution time for the open() system call.
The way they impliment it is pretty bad. Basically you have to add a local music folder on your PC, then you have to use the search tool to find it (on PC) and add it to a playlist. Then you have to go onto your mobile while on the same network as the PC, and download the playlist.

Spotify doesn't store your song at all on their servers (unlike google) and if you want to re-download the files on a new device, the original pc that had it has to still be there or else you have to redo the whole thing.
What is truth?

When the person on the other end of the call is looking at the image of me on their screen, the physical truth is that they're looking away from the camera, but the emotional truth is that their eyes are looking at me.

When I'm chatting with loved ones, which truth is more important? Physical truth, or emotional truth?

Consider for a moment that an offset front-facing camera might be just as serious a distortion of truth.
What the actual fuck. I'm glad I didn't choose to continue my studies there.
I am living in a fairly touristic European town and have visited plenty of the main tourist towns across Europe over the last decade. Without any intention to be judgmental, I can safely say that in general, Americans and middle-aged Chinese tourist don't keep their voice down intuitively. This is not their fault, of course. For example, both inner cities and living quarters are much more spacious in the US than in Europe, simply because the population density is much higher (117 per km² in the EU compared to 34 per km² in the US). In a typical European living quarter, if you are too loud on your porch or balcony, you are disturbing dozens of people or waking up babies. In the US, the next house may be so far away the neighbors won't even hear you. Add to this that around 77% of people in the US live in houses [0], compared to ~42% of Europeans who live in flats [1] (in countries like Switzerland or Germany, more than 60% of the population lives in flats, in Italy it's still over 50% [2]). In a flat, if you are too loud or if you don't walk quietly (especially in pre-WWII buildings), you are disturbing your neighbors. For that reason, in Europe (and I am sure in other parts of the world with similar population densities) children are reminded from an extremely early age that they have to keep their voice down and walk quietly when in a flat.

Again, I am not saying this applies to every American or Chinese, and of course there are German / British / French / Italian / Indian / Arabic / [...] tourists who do this.
