I don't think the argument is irrelevant. For most utilities, people use your software because it is the best at doing one core thing. I don't think this changes just because OS vendors start bundling half-assed versions of your idea. Pour your resources into focus rather than de-focus. Spend your development effort on fixing bugs, best-in-class cross-platform support, and other things that the OS vendors won't do.

Instead, everyone succumbs to the urge to feature-cram their way to differentiation, so we get chat functionality in your navigation software, location sharing in your music app, and team management in your paint program.

> Hey dude, if you have a redux reducer file that's over 11k+ lines long that doesn't mean that I'm "not smart enough to understand your code" it means you haven't bothered to keep basic code hygiene and break up your files.

While I haven't seen the code, this belief that large files are bad "by default" to me is a clear sign of an developer who puts superficialities before more important work.

It's true Redux/VueX creates a habit of coupling your components to the specific usecase. But I've been using them for over a year now and whenever I've had to reuse a component, often in very different environments, it takes about an hour of tweaking to make the component reusable. Sometimes you have to rewrite parts of the DOM to make it more flexible.

But this is like any abstraction in programming. When you have a function you want to be reusable you usually have to do some work to make it more portable across your codebase and create a proper flexible "interface" for it via arguments.

The UI components are particularily easy to reuse. If you look at something like Rebass it uses predefined constants to add consistency of values across the entire site + a theming system which simply tweaks those constants (ie, colors, the scales of font sizes across h1-h6, etc).

I just skimmed this article since it does seem like a bias post from a Headless CMS provider however almost all transitional CMSs that you can use/build also provide the features of a Headless CMS. WordPress has a REST API built in, Wagtail has an API built in via django-rest-framework. I'm sure if I looked almost every other CMS has solutions for this too.

The build vs buy decision is still straight forward. Does the headless CMS solution I'm buying provide all of the features my project will need with room to grow? Yes? Cool, why bother building it. No? Looks like I'm building my own on a "reliable framework" (tm) already used by hundreds of thousands of sites.

"For query-time, we found that reading an extra bit for every event adds around 10ns to the reading of data. This is close to a 2% increase in the query time because of the additional column."

This seems somewhat more expensive than I would've expected. Given your estimates of duplicate probability, the bitset should compress to essentially nothing, so IO is probably not the issue unless you're not compressing it.

As a parent, I feel that I have some responsibility to provide my daughters with the best life outcome possible.

Examples of failed life outcomes would be drug addiction, poverty, suicide, or dying alone with their cats. There are many more.

In general, unrestrained sexual behavior tend to be bad for your odds ratio. That's not even getting to positive life outcomes, which involve developing fully as a human being, and with full and deep relationships to the other human beings around you. Unrestrained sexual behavior tends to be bad for this too.

In case you've ever wondered, this is also why sex on television is so much worse than violence on television. Seeing a murder on television doesn't really alter my children's odds ratio for becoming a violent criminal too much. But seeing a lot of sex on television makes it much more likely that they'll take sex less seriously than is good for them.

My immediate reaction as well. Headless CMS seems like a good idea, but I would not want to outsource the core of my own business if I were in the content biz. And honestly, if it were that advantageous, there’s no good reason there can’t or shouldn’t be open source headless CMSes just as there were headful open source CMSes...

Effectively Dropbox is no longer the universal solution guaranteed to work everywhere, which was the reason I chose them before. They deliberately killed off their unique selling point.

Whether that matters depends on whether people are eating enough protein. A cursory search shows that most people in the west vastly overeat protein beyond their needs. Yet aggressive marketing has Americans thinking they need more protein.

20g of protein in a cup of cooked lentils sounds pretty adequate to me. At 180lbs, it's only recommended that I get 63g of protein. It's not a challenge. I get almost half that in a single lentil salad including any other plant matter I toss in there with its own amino acid profile.
Overzealous prosecution. Since prosecutors are local this kind of thing mostly happens to people who have low status in the community or when your daddy is on the wrong side of the local police chief (or other person with these kind of connections).
Definitely. Product catalog information as a whole doesn't change often. Price and availability does. With retail catalogs you often do a full reindex of the data in your master catalog and then run partials to account for price/availability if you don't do that in realtime using filters. Since the system of record is not the search index, Elastic is often not a good solution here.

Also, relevancy in retail is often influenced by other factors that cannot easily be implemented in Elastic. TFIDF/BM25 search is available in both platforms, but you may also weigh in other factors such as relationships with the vendor, stock on hand, or other ML techniques that are more easily implemented in SOLR.

This shouldn't have been called a surprise, and should have been broken down by gender. Gay men indulge in much more sexual behavior than straight men do, because they can. Lesbians are not known for this.

The study intentionally threw this data away:

> The clear majority of the sample said they were heterosexual (92.8%), while 0.7% said they were lesbian, 0.5% said they were gay, 2.8% said they were bisexual, 2.3% said they were questioning, and the remaining 0.9% selected “other” as a response choice. These responses were dichotomized where 1 = heterosexual and 2 = non-heterosexual.

I don't care at all what Dropbox adds to their app on my computer, because I don't use it. It runs, and I ignore it.
Capitalism's prime directive is growth. Efficiency matters only when two conditions are met:

1. There is sufficient competition

2. There is resource scarcity

In the current context, the first condition holds true for Dropbox, but the second does not. There was a commenter here on HN a few months ago who works in VC, and he/she was saying that VCs currently have too much money and they are desperately looking for things to throw that money at. That is the opposite of resource scarcity.

Make no mistake though: if and when we get the next economic crash, I think we will see a drastic shift in how tech companies operate. I suspect that a _lot_ of fat will be cut, then.

Expandrive has a really shit pricing/marketing.

When I switched from Linux to Mac for a while some years ago, I felt the lack of easily mounting sftp as gnome does. So I found Expandrive did that very well. $39.95 seemed a bit steep for such a simple thing, but whatever, it was working great and I paid that. Few months later came out the next version and it turned out upgrades were not included, and now it's $49.95. I thought - whatever, I'll just keep using the old version because it was working quickly and flawlessly. Then all of a sudden previous version had minor update and it started lagging and randomly disconnecting. Meanwhile they kept spamming my email about sales and offers, ~20 times since then, pitching how it's dramatically faster now etc. I can't prove they purposely fucked up the old version, but it seemed really weird when it started to have problems right after new and more expensive one came out, and I'm not planning to use it ever again.
Also bad when it's backed by an attached drive from the cloud provider, like an AWS EBS volume -- it's particularly nefarious if you swap to the root drive, swapping can exhaust the EBS burst balance, and instead of 3000 IOPS to the root drive, after swapping sets in you're down to 300 IOPS (for a 100GB drive), and performance really slows to a crawl.

I know I'm giving up some RAM that could be swapped out without impact but it's worth the stability of never swapping to an attached drive.

It's considered child pornography in many jurisdictions, and therefore legally dangerous. I think just that would be a sufficient answer.

It's associated with greater promiscuity, risking pregnancy and STDs and therefore medically dangerous. (And depending on your beliefs, morally dangerous.)

It's susceptible to catfishing and therefore physically dangerous.

If leaked, it can be damaging to reputation and esteem and therefore socially and mentally dangerous.

This is the version of "be careful with what you post online", but extreme and with minors.
How do you decide the baseline emissions for the tax and tariffs, internationally? China emits about half the carbon as the USA, per capita. So is the USA willing to pay tax to China unidirectionally, until we get to their level? Does China need to keep their current per capita levels to avoid extra tariffs?

How, roughly, could this work politically at a global level, in a way that also works within the politics of each individual country?

On the other hand, it's great at avoiding the "dying alone with your cats" failure mode.
> If I have enough RAM why do I want things to swap to begin with? The author never explained why putting rarely used pages in swap will improve performance if I have adequate RAM.

The memory freed from a page that got pushed to swap might be better used for serving disk cache, for example.

If you don't have enough RAM (even for spikes), a preemptive push when things aren't busy might mean that when they do become busy, you won't have to wait.

At least, that's the theory as I understand it. Whether or not it works in practice, IDK.

> And using swap as some kind of "RAM emergency cover" does not make any sense to me. Personally, I have never had a case where I could gracefully recover a host that had started swapping.

I have successfully recovered hosts that began swapping, and even hosts that filled their swap. But it's beyond painful, and in most of the cases where I have a host doing such swapping, an OOM kill would have been a welcome reprieve.

> Second, I find it's much harder to detect degraded performance than it is to detect a dead process.

Agreed, and restarting something that's been OOM'd is simple enough too. Our hosts tend to stop reporting metrics when they start swapping, simply b/c so little is actually getting done, so they get labelled as "down". Linux also exposes a metric called "major page faults" (IIRC, it's "pgmajfault" in /proc/vmstat) that records the number of major (required service from disk) page faults; if the rate of that value is too steep for too long, that ≅ swap thrashing.
