I skimmed the post trying to figure out what it does and the only hint I got was when it mentioned being faster than localhost. I came to the HN comments to see if anyone would mention what it's for.

Seeing your comment, I decided to read through it more carefully. I read the first 14 paragraphs several times trying to figure out what lefthook does. It wasn't until after writing most of this reply that I realized your post went on longer than that, as the picture right before round one looks like the start of a comment thread.

Certainly I should have some idea of what your product does that far in to the article.

You parse it the same way I usually do. As a decimal fraction, 4.2 > 4.11... however, version numbers aren't decimal fractions.

In any case, you're not alone.
But the only reason "price by fiat" works is because the Canadian government has the authority to set a price ceiling for a huge number of buyers. UHC doesn't have the same market power, because it's competing with other insurers who can potentially cover the same people. If Canada decides that a drug is worth no more than $X, there is no way to sell to Canadians without agreeing to that price. If UHC decides a drug is worth no more than $X, in the short term you can't sell to UHC customers without agreeing to the price, but in the long term you can exert leverage over UHC because people might switch to other insurers who cover more drugs.
The point is the bonus points for spending x in 3 months not the points for the spend. 60k bonus points for the first 4,000$ spent is definitely worth..most points are 1.5 cents or so.
Well, at least the US has finally jailed him. Here in the UK they don't even need to be billionaires to wield the kind of influence to escape the eye of the law.

Serious question: what are some practical examples of graph-database backed features providing significant value to “common” software applications (e-commerce, CRUD, CMS, CRM, etc.)?

It is amazing how vibrant the macOS-exclusive UI design ecosystem is, with many high quality apps: Sketch, Flinto, Principle, IconJar, PaintCode and more. The second best ecosystem is web apps, spearheaded by Figma, and arguably Adobe's XD standing on its own. There are almost no Windows- or Linux-exclusive tools.

I recall there being some considerable surprise when they figured out that trees gain mass (of which a fraction is carbon) faster as they get older.

It's not that shocking. If two tree rings are the same width, the outer one contains more material due to the larger circumference. The surface area of a tree increases every year until it starts to decline. In a healthy tree, canopy and roots are balanced, and any gain or loss in material above ground is mirrored below. Dead roots rejoin the food chain much, much slower than twigs and leaves, so nearly half the carbon that goes into the tree goes into the ground and stays there, even if you cut the tree for timber. And due to root fusion, some of the roots may survive... if you didn't cut down all of the trees of the same species. I'm looking at you, timber industry.
Sheer count's not everything. I thought maybe there was some other analysis that'd support the assertions (first thing I did was check that page, which certainly doesn't support them).

I tend to use Common Lisp for some personal projects, or small one-offs for work to make something easier. Libraries are great, and easily managed via Quicklisp (with info in quickdocs, as well as Hyperspec). And SLIME in Emacs is amazing to use.

I've seen some comments that say, "well, if you use CL, that's all you know." I'm not sure that it's a problem though, because the standard means that you can often use much of the same code on multiple implementations, operating systems and architectures. e.g., you're not stuck on the JVM, but can use it (with ABCL). You can probably use the same implementation, like CCL or SBCL, on Windows, Mac, Linux, on x86, ARM, and so on.

I don't take 'vacations' per se. When I travel I like to go with a goal, let it be snowboard for a week or surf for the weekend in a nice spot, or just stay at a 5 star hotel drinking gin and tonic by the pool.

Any kind of city 'vacation' for me is hell. Hate it. Did many before, still hate them. Go see the Mona Lisa or some natural lake? bleh. Boring. Rather be at home drinking gin and tonic in my sofa doing nothing all day.

(to be fair, I lived in many countries, moved house and cities (and countries) pretty much every year. I've seen most of Europe has to offer (and didn't like it) and now nothing is better than just living near the sea. Spending some quality time with local friends and go surf or to the gym.

I apologize, the referral fee range I previously stated is a little misleading.

Referral fees for the vast majority of items is 8% to 15%, which in and of itself is a massive range. I believe this is mostly due to the typical margin on each item. Perhaps the typical cost of customer acquisition also plays a role.

The minimum is 6% for personal computers, which historically have super slim margins anyhow, and 45% for Amazon Device accessories, probably because Amazon wants to maintain a major advantage over third party accessories (and possibly because they dominate the market for Amazon device accessories, so they're able to charge a major premium)
Because it's not the committer's job to play housekeeper for the contributor. They have enough work to do already, and the contributor is the one who wants their code merged in the first place - they should put in the basic effort to clean their own code before submission, just like everybody else. And because that would introduce some grey areas into the Signed-off-by line[0]. Committers do not want to change submitted code. See the bit about process for maintainers modifying submitted patches and imagine if they had to do that all the time because people can't just follow the damn style guide.

Fun fact, Canada spends 1.76% of GDP on pharmaceuticals: https://data.oecd.org/healthres/pharmaceutical-spending.htm. The U.S. spends 2.04%. Cutting pharmaceutical prices to Canadian levels of spending would save about $55 billion per year. Which is not nothing, but it would reduce health care spending by just 1.6%.

If you look at dollars-per-capita, the difference is $389. That doesn't only reflect the price of the drugs, it also reflects the fact that Americans might simply require more drugs than Canadians. For example, obesity rates drive the need for drugs for blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. 25% of Canadians are obese versus 34% of Americans: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-625-x/2011001/article.... That means we would spend a lot more on obesity-related drugs even if they cost the same as in Canada.

For e-commerce, a big one is recommendations. But graphs are already known for that.

We see a lot of usage of Dgraph among developers who are building apps with social data. Or, platforms where they need to unite multiple different data sources from multiple relational DB silos.

To debunk the myth that Graph DBs are special-purpose, we've built two projects ourselves (open source) which put Stack Overflow and Twitter data on Dgraph and serve it. The links are in the blog post under Use cases.

That is interesting although I'm wary of any allusions to a suicide or accident (of Robert Maxwell) being nefarious without some pretty significant proof. Like... it's just a recipe for getting painted as a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

As for the relation to Robert Maxwell, didn't his connection to underage girls at that time come from him being a teacher at an elite school? Wouldn't you expect such students to have famous and/or rich parents?

I dunno if it was clear or not, but it wasn't really industry driving the research: it was the various governments, and, as you say, they were planning things. Well, sort of. That's not what a real technological plan is: in real life when we try to build advanced things, we identify the lacunae and develop a plan to fix those. Just like Apollo and the Manhattan project. This one was a giant punt into "shyeeet maybe this will work." Sort of like all fusion research to date, except worse, because unlike fusion, the gaps in building a 5th gen computer are not even identifiable. It might as well be "we plan on being lead in the antigravity industry by 2030."

Thanks for working on BSD and GCC (and Cyc, which is also pretty damned cool)!

I live in Tijuana and it's actually not super dangerous unless you go to a bad neighborhood. Sure, relatively statistically speaking, there is a higher chance of something bad happening. But it is still a very tiny chance if you stay within nice neighborhoods and are just trying to buy medication. By the way, unfortunately the only part that of Tijuana that a lot of Americans see is the one designated for maximum debauchery and is one of the worst neighborhoods.

The pharmacies right by the border are fine, but if you want a nicer area, walk across the PedWest crossing and stand in the Uber waiting area for an Uber to go to Playas. Then you can go somewhere like Farmacias Roma or Farmacias del Ahorro or a bunch of other nice stores with people wearing lab coats. You could also just go to Walmart for medication if you want but recently they seem to be missing basic things I needed so they probably aren't the best.
Love these kinds of tools. What is different between husky / git-staged and this?

It’s faster and smaller?

Quite happy with husky and running tslint/tests with husky on precommit currently. Curious what the biggest benefits are from left hook and if it’s a pain to switch to if they are amazing benefits.

The biggest annoyance with current setup is on prem ci with Jenkins and GitHub Enterprise and complex docker bash scripts embedded in Jenkins. It’s a pain to get lint/test results to show up in the GitHub pull request ui. Doesn’t seem like this tool would help make that use case faster to set up.
If it's a tree/forest that wouldn't have otherwise existed but for your donation/their action, I think it should count.

Whether it's at a lat/long that previously held a tree or not is largely irrelevant when considering whether your action was helpful or neutral.

> Two leaves will absorb more CO2 than one leaf

Trees don't absorb CO2 just by existing- they absorb CO2 by growing. The carbon from the air is converted into structure, body of the tree. When the tree stops growing, the CO2 stops being absorbed.

Cutting down the tree and using the wood for long-term storage contains all that CO2. Planting new trees means growing trees that absorb more CO2 from the air.
It was a bit hacky, but we've basically implemented some of the stuff in [1] to achieve incremental builds. If a pr changes projects a,b,c and not x,y,z then it will only build a,b,c. But it's not truly incremental right now, as it won't test things that depend on A/B/C.

We have plans to use Bazel in the future, but you have to boil the ocean when moving to bazel and get everything ever inside bazel before you get any benefit out of it.

It's too early to tell fpr sure, but we can emulate any hardware and software that we want, so I doubt anything will really completely die.

That was practically a plot point in one of my favorite books, A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. Humanity has been travelling between the stars in slower-than-light ships for ten or twenty thousand years. A teenage prince from a medieval society with ancient legends of flying machines boards a starship and spends a few years learning math and engineering and programming. He learns to delve deep into the many layers of helpful interfaces and emulation, and even discovers that the clocks don't count from man's first moon landing, but from six months afterwards (which means that underneath it all they're running some variety or derivative of Unix). He finds bugs from practically before the dawn of time, and adds a few backdoors to the mess. A few thousand years (and a lot of coldsleep) later, he's old and broke, and joins a starship crew as Programmer Archaeologist Third Class. Other than that it's not very related to your question, but you should read it anyway.

I was shortly working with similar guy, although from the day one it was free/hobby project. He as a leader couldn't keep focus, he was talking about mountains 200 miles north somewhere at 5h mark in game. Then at one point whenever he asked if I can do feature x, feature y, I said: let's work on first 5 minutes of game play. Ok ok. When he came up with another ideas I said let's work on first 30s of gameplay. Then whenever he get any more ideas I asked: "is this in first 5 minutes of gameplay?". It wasn't and the whole project went nowhere. I still have /r/inat I'm my RSS reader but mostly only for daily "I want to make MMORPG" posts.

The way I like to think about this is that every decision I make helps build the brain I'd like to have. After all, each decision stimulates a certain series of neural pathways. The more those pathways get used, the easier and more accessible they become.

I still fail, a lot, but I try to keep the phrase, "build the brain you wish you had" a lot. Which is really just synonymous with building habits, but there's something more physical about influencing your brain.
I run https://healthcaresnapshots.com which publishes photos of healthcare projects from around the world.

Articles such as this will hopefully help more people in the right places know what is possible and worth trying.
