Yeah I've thought of that too.

My memory certainly doesn't stretch back to the 1970's introduction of EGR Valves, but the rage that acid rain, ozone, smog caused back then got us into really good shape in a lot of ways regarding NOX. 60s and 70s Americans still have ulcer inducing rage about the diesel stink and headaches anytime they get near 'em.

In Europe, if I am not mistaken, the tax paid on displacement is in part due to the shorthand way of attributing more displacement=more co2, plus the heavy fuel tax. The result is that the euros put-put along behind some very, very efficient power plants, while in the USA the marketing had everyone demanding v6 gasoline minivans and dumpy pickup trucks.

Lot of people just get off on burning the stuff too, they like the fuel smell from the tailpipe.

By the mid 1990's, while every garage monkey was bitching about having to use a computer to fix the cars, vehicles finally started to actually get good.

But what blew my mind a little bit was learning about the Plymouth Scamp (Dodge Rampage) https://www.allpar.com/omni/rampage/scamp-rampage.html

These babies have about the power of a Mercedes-Benz inline5 240D but gas, mind blowing post-fuel rationing MPG and with a truck bed! Probably way better from a stop than the nowadays-too-dangerous-to-drive Mercedes 240D too, I couldn't say having never driven a Scamp. The oldest and easily most skilled mechanic I've ever known had a Scamp as his main daily driver until it finally rusted away less than a decade ago, and he sure loved it.

Sorry to pointlessly ramble, love this subject.

I think you're confusing free software with 'cost-free' software. It's unfortunate that this is the terminology in use.

I'm talking specifically about libre software. I have no qualms with paying an expert for a service - in fact that's the basis of my career.

I'm happy with SaaS services that provide a paid option which means you don't have to muck about with self hosting, backups, and all of that jazz. Just works(tm). I think that's a great business model.

The issue I take is with proprietary software which limits the user in what they can do. Services which derive most of their profit from locking in the user (e.g. come and use our fancy cloud database, there's no way to run it locally, oops we just whacked up the price by 5x, suck it up)

> I think we need an open alternative to the Github/Gitlab duoply

I think we always need more competition and offerings but let's be very clear, gitlab is an "open alternative" to the github/atlassian duopoly. We're not at a github/gitlab duopoly at all, and gitlab is open regardless. (Yes it has some enterprise features; semantics)
Battery life is the same for me.
I can fully believe MS had entire documentation teams, but looking at their newer docs, and much of what they've done with the old ones, it seems like those teams have mostly disappeared.
This doesn't answer your question but you really should read up on Needleman-Wunsch for matching up strings.

Love this post by the way, wished we would see more of these on HN.

Officially it has the same battery life. Unofficially there are mixed reports, but I think it's just too early to tell. It's worth noting that the S5 40mm model has a new battery design that has 10% more capacity than the S4 40mm model.

@pier25 You got me curious about this. I've never seen this done with Svelte, so I decided to try it. Check this out: https://github.com/mvolkmann/svelte-with-classes/blob/master....

The key is that when you update a Svelte store you must return a new value. It's enough to just return the value you updated. You see that happening here on lines 16 and 21.

I take your point that this is not as transparent as when using observables. But at least you can use classes that have relationships and call methods that modify the objects when those objects are in Svelte stores.
At this point, given all the apps, IoT devices, etc. I feel like people know that there is more to the internet than what they can get to in their web browser. Go back 10 years or so and the browser totally dominated (aside from email and gaming perhaps), leading to the lack of differentiation you are referring to.

On the other hand, these non-browser communications I'm referring to almost always use HTTP APIs (a.k.a. web services) these days, whereas in the past they would use raw sockets or whatever else, so you could argue that even these comprise the web.
What are you afraid of? I would be more worried about the data in your phone. There is more damage to be made with GPS location and all the other private data.

I doubt that knowing what time you sleep, when you exercise, and your hearth rate can add a lot more risks. Maybe the hearth rate combined with what you are doing on your phone can be used to measure the effect of what you are reading or watching...
($1MM ARR SaaS here)

Monthly subscriptions churn on a monthly basis. Yearly subscriptions accumulate over time and usually remain active the whole year (IOW they churn on a yearly basis).

What's shocking to me is the $2 monthly tier. At that rate you're spending >25% on payment processing fees. Imagine a quarter of your subscribers just donating their money to MasterCard instead.
These days, I wouldn't open source anything other than a small hobby project or utility library/app.
I wonder if the scale could be expressed in the area required to implement a given amount of logic and SRAM. This would make is easier to compare things.

I do toy with that idea of how our thoughts are somehow stored elsewhere and contrary of our memories just being gone at death. I'm trying to make the concept work with the idea of eternal reoccurrence but it's hard to think of a good idea. I'm agnostic as well but I don't rule out the concept of a deity. There could be heaven & hell and even when it's just double predestination. A deity doesn't have to please the whims of what we think of as fair. Anyhow, I could even see eternal reoccurrence working with a deity altering the simulation as it pleases. Btw, simulation is just a word and one I chose to express what we live.

Maybe the government needs to A. bring back the fairness doctrine. B. Update it for ads/propaganda/social media.

Say for instance they created an agency that basically monitors/fact checks news and advertisements.

Or it could just be political ads. I think the government should enforce honesty in political ads, I mean allowing lying in political ads seems to say corruption is allowed. As lying = corruption.

Or no agency and just severe consequences/litigation for publishing/republishing 'fake news' without some sort of byline saying 'this is fake news', and dishonest political ads could also be sued against.

I mean as litigious as we are there's a gold mine for the legal industry here.
May 2019's NYC Cycling in the City [0] provides some overview. About 12% of New Yorkers ride a bike several times per month (higher than I expected).

To really appreciate the need for awk, imagine writing one-liners and scripts in the late 80s where Perl or Python weren't present. The associative arrays in awk were a game changer. Of course, today there is no need to use awk for multi-line, complex scripts because Python or Perl does the job better (and both languages are more scalable). However, awk is still quite useful for one-liners. But for those developers who never use the one-liner paradigm of pipelines on the command line, this is something they don't realize they're missing.

Brian Kernighan mentions in the book that awk provides "the most bang for the programming buck of any language--one can learn much of it in 5 or 10 minutes, and typical programs are only a few lines long" [p. 116, UNIX: A History and Memoir]. Also keep in mind Larry Wall's (inventor of Perl) famous quote/signature line: "I still say awk '{print $1}' a lot."

More background on awk from Brian Kernighan in a 2015 talk on language design: https://youtu.be/Sg4U4r_AgJU?t=19m45s
They still admit they won't have 10nm desktop chips till 2021 (at least) with 7nm predicted to ship in 2022. https://www.techpowerup.com/260141/intel-clarifies-on-10nm-d... Which of course means that 10nm will never ship on the desktop. And you bet most mobile chips they will ship next year will be "Comet Lake" on 14nm and not "Ice Lake" or "Tiger Lake" 10nm. The 10nm process is completely botched they just can't admit that.

Not sure which TV ads you see, but the TV ads I see suck. Not all of them, but many of them talk about how someone voted for something and completely mis-construe the intent. So there has never been truth in political advertising, only a thin veneer of pretending that this is ok.

So I’m not sure that the boards have done their job.

I’d certainly call bs on them, and that’s on ads from my own party!

Need may be too strong a word, but I've never seen documentation suffer because there were too many high quality examples.

Great documentation uses those examples to shine light on other features that go nicely with (in this case) CIColor or to highlight the right way to do common tasks.
And at this stage, at least in the context of cities, cars begin to make very little sense compared to tried and true alternatives like trains and subways. Combined with people-first city planning, there really is no need for so many cars in urban areas.
If we're talking anti pirate roles, we're talking jobs suitable for patrol boats. If we're including those, then we have way more than 300 ships already.

This is a good post from a16z -

https://a16z.com/2019/10/04/commercializing-open-source/

"As software has eaten the world, open source is eating software.

Today, almost every major technology company, from Facebook to Google, is written on the backs of open source software. Increasingly, these companies are building their own open source projects as well – Airbnb, for example, has more than 30 open source projects, and Google more than 2000!

In the future, the virtuous cycle will continue. Technologically, AI, open source data, and block chain are some examples of emerging innovations. The next generation of business models may include ad-supported OSS, as when a large proprietary enterprise supports open source projects; data-driven revenue; and crypto tokens, which monetize blockchain.

I believe Open Source 3.0 will expand how we think of and define open source businesses. Open source will no longer be RedHat, Elastic, Databricks, and Cloudera; it will be – at least in part – Facebook, Airbnb, Google, and any other business that has open source as a key part of its stack. When we look at open source this way, then the renaissance underway may only be in its infancy. The market and possibilities for open source software are far greater than we have yet realized."

AMD is only superior when it comes to performance for parallelized tasks, single thread performance is still owned by Intel.

Also, your link is biased because it is well documented that AMD performance significantly improves with faster RAM and they used much faster RAM in the test only for AMD.

That RAM is very expensive so you need to factor that in the total cost if you wanted fo be fair when doing price comparison as well.
The blatantly false part I'm talking about isn't "Mark Zuckerberg is endorsing Trump" which everyone understands to be the obviously false statement, but the subsequent argument that is still being repeated here that "If Trump tries to lie in a TV ad, most networks will refuse to air it."

A whole bunch of comments here are along the lines of: how come Facebook isn't required to abide by the rules that other media companies have to follow? But this is the exact opposite of how things are - small media companies can adopt whatever standards they want, but the broadcast networks have to air even false political advertising, because these types of regulations are more about protecting fairness and free political speech than about the truth. This is an example of Facebook subjecting themselves to the highest possible standards, instead of making arbitrary editorial decisions that smaller actors can get away with.

The big advantage for online ordering is that it removes the time pressure of being on a phone call with a busy live human being. This not only saves the store labor costs, but also increases sales - the time pressure defaults "do I want X" decisions to "no", and given the laxer pace of online ordering, people tend to spend more.

Back in 2016-17, around Skylake/Kaby Lake, I remember getting all excited with some friends about the prospect of Intel 10nm, which they were saying would be used for their immediately upcoming series of chips.

Now that it's 2019 and they're finally claiming to enter high-volume production of 10nm, I have a really hard time taking any claims they make about future lithography nodes at face value.

Nice work on your visualization! Thank you for rebutting the Fraser article; I came to the same conclusion as you (that Myers algorithm is in fact correct) but had never written it up.

No, it’s not for every individual. It’s on average. My point was that for people like you where 70% is overly high and you’re already saving a lot, you’re skewing the other side of the equation as well. The big picture question is whether people have enough money saved. High savers such as yourself make the picture look better than it is, even if they are high earners, making the situation seem worse than it is.

I don't think Walmart was actually caught off guard with online retail. But because they had (and still have) such a massive retail market share, the powers that be inside Walmart undoubtedly stifled innovation in order to avoid cannibalizing their retail arm. (The Innovators Dillema).

But neither 'this is a transpiler' or 'this is a compiler' provide any meaningful information without specifying the compatible inputs and outputs. Once the inputs and outputs are specified then it is already reasonably known if the operation is transpilation or compilation, making the distinction between transpiler and compiler redundant.

The article takes it is a priori that laws that institute warrantless mass surveillance of financial transactions, aka AML/KYC, are good.

This is an opinion held mostly by those in the elite: people living in wealthy/politically-powerful countries, and or those with lucrative jobs in government or government-protected industries like banking.

The President of Mastercard South East Asia sums it up:

https://youtu.be/bO4jHXjCXw8#t=4m12s

"If it's an anonymous transaction, that sounds like a suspicious transaction. Why does somebody need to be anonymous?"

AML/KYC laws create global second class citizens and massively centralize power in the hands of whichever state has the critical mass of financial power, which right now is the US and which one day could be another state that authors like this wouldn't be so enthusiastic about.

A great write-up on what KYC/AML laws, which are euphemisms for laws criminalizing financial privacy, mean for those outside of the elite circles:
