Ask HN: Which company has the most advanced internal infrastructure?
While reading the google distributed systems papers, I felt how far ahead they would have been of the outside technology stacks back then.

If you have worked in multiple companies, do you think one of them is still vastly ahead in the internal tooling and infrastructure? It could be a big company or a startup. Have you ever felt the technology stack at any of those companies is something the external world is nowhere near?

They're not the "problems" with C++, they're what make C++ great. It's like C is slowly realizing C++ features are actually useful, but doing so as slowly as molasses, while still trying to pretend like this isn't the case...
> Trump appears to understand innately the hooliganism and brutality at the heart of the CCP

He understands those things because he'd probably do the same thing given the opportunity. Treating most of the other (major) world leaders in 2019 as bad-faith actors makes for terrible foreign policy, but when it comes to China, it's exactly what's needed.
There would still be a market for human-driven eradication though (ahem https://www.helibacon.com )
Do you have any favorite you feel like suggesting? I've been there several times but never noticed them and even my Portuguese partner wouldn't know where to find one after many years living abroad.
And now the community's hard work is licensed under a new

cannot be used in entreprise setups.

Sure it can. It is fairly narrow in that it targets reselling it as-a-service. Many large companies are still running MongoDB for enterprise workloads, the SSPL does not change that.
I think UPS does a much better job than the competition. I hate most 3PL logistics companies. LaserShip comes to mind.

That said, the Teamsters Union specifically has been putting a ton of money into bad PR for Amazon.

They've directly funded staged protests at AWS Summits in NY the last few years. They are a powerful union with deep pockets and connections.

Also with the economic realities of journalism in this era, many news articles are literally PR pieces written and provided to journalists for publication. Most of this is undisclosed.

I think it's perfectly valid to call out what this article looks like and at least ask questions, as there are folks out there with more resources than I have to follow up on this. It isn't an attack, because I didn't make a statement -- I asked a question.
It says this is an application for a patent.

No patent was ever granted.
I feel like there is a better way of posting this argument than laughing at them and dismissing what they say, and not providing any reasons why you disagree.
I believe that we've reached an inflection point on the path to a utopian-esque society and it feels as though we're primed to backslide catastrophically.

For a variety of reasons innumerable, but generally containing in my mind:

Technical literacy being outpaced by technical dependence. The threat of the oligopoly - and the lack of action to dismantle it. The inability of humans to work together as a species and their preference for in-fighting over collaboration and compromise. A breakdown in natural selection, increased coddling, and a general weakening of ability and character relative to other nations. Short-sidedness with regard to most everything from education to the environment.

Existing in a liminal state where great things appear to be possible, but seem unlikely to be obtained is torturous.
I get the idea that once you've accepted nudity then it would follow that you can do anything at all nude. But nude sledding sounds miserable and cold. Is this a translation issue or does someone actually think laying down naked in the snow on a toboggan and riding through winter's bounty is fun? Germans can be odd, but this sounds dumb.
I was preparing myself to go on a rant about the evils of the US IP infrastructure - copyrights, patents, etc... Until I checked the patent application again and saw it was REJECTED. Why are we talking about this ? If I want to glimpse into the mind of a lunatic, I'll call my mother ...
(love you mom)
Yeah I was going to say the same. I live in MA to the SOUTH, and almost no one here has central air except richer and/or older people.
Right, so the point is, you have your vectors and now you have a way to find 4-tuples representing analogous sets of words. Great! You built an analogizing machine! Now what do you do with the analogies?

Neural networks can't get bored because they don't decide what to think about. They are like a total functional programming language with no control flow constructs. This is why they always give an answer in the same amount of time, regardless of the input vector.

Surprisal is only a measure of information (given a distribution) and is only distantly related to what I'm talking about. However, if a neural network could choose to think more, choose to get new data and reconsider, choose to go back and look at that one from a couple minutes ago... then you'd also want it to have the ability to get bored. AKA to recognize when it is spending resources on an unprofitable line of inquiry.
For quite a while and probably still now, advertising photos were/are routinely doctored without people realising (e.g. fashion or makeup models). This was a scandal a few years ago certainly in the UK. The outcome was for plus size models to be more frequently featured. So in some cases it can go unnoticed and be a serious problem.
Exactly. Trump and Xi are two of a kind, which is the only reason they're locking horns. It just so happens that he may be doing some incidental good in the process.
Memory Express has a pretty good selection, I'd try there.
Virtually all Americans love McDonalds.
I am hoping this isn’t an implication that C is legacy and C++ is the modern and the future. :-)

> This means a proxy, governed by the Google Privacy Policy, is now capturing everyone's module usage by default.

No surprise there, was even called a 'privacy nut' on the neighboring Android 10 thread for highlighting the nature of Google's 'privacy' stance. So essentially they turn on tracking / analytics on by default for module usage without consent or any notice except for the lengthy privacy policy. This reminds me of when Microsoft VC++ embedded analytics in the developer binary when using the compiler. [0]

But then again, Google can do what it pleases since Golang is authored by Googlers.

The desulfator i speak about is powered by the 12V battery itself. It's a small box with just get hooked up to positive and negative. Technology differs but basically it charges a capacitor and produces very short high voltage charging pulses that break the formed sulfur crystals.
Yes, this will deplete the battery if it's not charged otherwise.
In Spotify, I wrote a tiny python script to add my favorite songs to a list. You can create your own list by taking your own app and oauth information.
Anyone have any tales to tell around migrating Google Analytics data into a self-hosted system and how well it worked? I don't see such a feature for this one.
From what I can read of the press release, they are claiming a reduction of 30% in the amount of pesticide used. So, a significant incremental improvement, but certainly not something truly smart like using a camera to identify individual pests and targeting those pests with directed blasts of insecticide. Still a few years from that version of this tech.
I know, if anything that makes it more embarrassing for Android - Google controls that whole system and they're still not beating WKWebview on their flagship device.

Going between Android and iOS, that's one of the hardest aspects that I think gets overlooked - the browser is just slower and its noticeable. I pointed out the flagship device in this case, but its no better on the lower end devices.
These chromebooks are school-provided supplies, just like textbooks.

Now for families that are voluntarily buying chromebooks for personal use, I don’t see them getting any value out of programmability regardless.

Or are you one of those people who think everyone should be forced to learn coding?
First, I think proxies have their place. Please don't mistake my comment for any issue with proxies themselves.

Second, the don't need Git part is a bit of misdirection. Other package manager (Composer for PHP comes to mind but there are others, too) can pull the source at a version right for GitHub. This is much faster than using Git and people have been doing it for some time. Typically it's pulled down as a tarball.

You don't need a proxy to have git out of the loop for downloads or install time stuff.

Third, when it came to making tradeoffs one was made here. I don't know if it was explicit or not. Protections from the global checksum database as a default were put ahead of privacy as a default.

I wonder what other designs could have kept a certain amount of the global checksum protection while keeping privacy. I came up with a few idea while considering my response here.

Fourth, to really speed up performance in things like CI it's much faster to cache the modules locally. This is something used across programming languages for dependencies and most of the major CI systems have this documented. I looked at using GoCenter months ago but didn't opt for it because caching in CI was so much faster.

We were looking at things holistically rather than just with a single tool.

As I said in the blog post, I appreciate the privacy policy being up front. It is the first link on the proxy website. And, I appreciate the configuration to customize the proxy.

A lot of this has to do with the default. Most people won't change it. A lot of people are going to leak proprietary information to Google without realizing it. Everyone here can decide if that is a good or bad thing for themselves. Hopefully, they will learn the config to customize things if they want.
And if you pretending hard enough, then you might just learn something!
I recently finished reading The Overstory. I thought it was pretty interesting. It got me interested in video game programming (as did reading Ready Player One).
Even in Europe with public transport to the stores, I would bet delivery is many times more efficient.

The only question is whether people buy so much more due to convenience that the maybe 50x efficiency gain gets offset by 50x more items ordered. But I don't think that's the case.

> but many parents don't trust their children with that degree of autonomy

But I guess it would appear in the school records if they didn't go to school. At least in Hungary the state takes away certain benefits if the kid regularly doesn't go to school and it can also have other consequences as well, like having to repeat the year.

But to some degree it should also be part of growing up. When we were 15-16 and all of us commuted by public transportation, a few times we skipped the first class and went to a pub instead. And I didn't become some lowlife gangster, I completed a CS degree with good results.
To be exact, it doesn't compile fine outside of functions (which the sample code didn't have) because file scope arrays can't be VLAs.
Many Google apps already do. It was weird during the Android 10 Beta because Google was releasing apps with partial support for Dark mode which made them hard to use. You'd sometimes get dark grey text on black background, for instance.

Almost 10 years ago, I went through the effort of relicensing something from GPL back to BSD as it was originally licensed. I documented some of it here: https://web2project.net/2011/01/web2project-license-change/
The first example doesn't produce undefined behaviour as c++ - it just won't compile - you can't initialise that pointer to a non const int from a const int without doing something naughty like a const_cast.
It's worse than that. The type of a C enumeration is implementation defined. It must cover the full range of defined values, but it definitely doesn't have to be 'int'. (§ 6.7.2.2 (4)):

> Each enumerated type shall be compatible with [ed: one of] char, a signed integer type, or an unsigned integer type. The choice of type is implementation-defined but shall be capable of representing the values of all the members of the enumeration.

One possible source of confusion is that explicit values in an enum (i.e., '42' in your example) must have values representable as int. (§ 6.7.2.2, (2)).
So for 90% of people it's better. For the 10% who are always comfortable, it is still comfortable, but not as comfortable as possible.
> beyond google's capabilities

Perhaps beyond their better judgment. More open implies more ways to break.
Why are you interpreting this post as an attempt at news? It's almost-certainly an attempt at ridicule.
AutoZone probably rents them, if you don't have the need to own one (I found one at a goodwill once for a dollar, so I bought it - never know).

I despise terrible laptop keyboards, even though I'm using one at this moment. This Amazon keyboard is very much like a laptop keyboard, and thus I know that I would hate it.

I fundamentally don't like low profile keyboards where there is barely any perceptible pressing. I don't like cheap plastic. I want a solid, heavy, mechanical board with real keys.

Also, I'm spoiled because I buy custom keyboards where all the labels and colors and configuration is up to me.

Though, no matter how grippy the rubber and how heavy the board, my keyboards always slide. My solution was to buy 4 long angle brackets and double-sided adhesive, and this proved to be a perfect backstop.

Doubleshot PBT keycaps would be the ideal way to ensure the labels never wear off.

Dashdoc | Paris or Nantes, France | Full-time | ONSITE | VISA | dashdoc.eu

We're building the future of tools for the transportation industry. In the past 3 years we built Truckfly, an app and community of more than 200k truck drivers in Europe that was acquired by Michelin in 2018. We're now working on improving communication in the trucking industry with a SaaS app that we sell to carriers and shippers, making the whole delivery process more transparent.

Right now we are 10 people, 5 in the dev/product team.

Our stack is Python, Django with Django Rest Framework on the backend, using Postgres and hosted on Google Cloud. On the front-end, React / React-Native TypeScript apps.

We're currently looking for an experienced backend developer to help us scale our API while keeping things stable. (40-70k€ depending on profile)

The first example won't compile in c++ (can't get a ptr to a non const from a const without something naughty like a const_cast) - that's not undefined behaviour is it?
Really sad that the top comment here is from a climate change denialist.
I used to be able to "rumble" both of them (together or individually) at will. But a while back I had a mastoidectomy in one side, which resulted in the removal of that particular muscle, so now I only have one left to rumble.

One of the drawbacks to not having that muscle is that it is far easier for your ear to "pop" in wind or during air pressure changes, so I find myself often sniffing to re-equalize the pressure.
You can turn off the ads and clickbait. I still like Firefox more than other browsers. I still trust Mozilla more than other companies. I just think people have legitimate complaints.
Yup, about the same amount for about the same set of tools.
It's early stage as an open source project, but it's pretty advanced as an ecommerce platform, and while it doesn't have a huge install base, the companies running Workarea are themselves sizable. It's a good solution if you've outgrown Shopify Plus but don't want to trigger Magento-induced PTSD.
