I found that even DDG isn't that good. It especially doesn't work when trying the usual [query] + " reddit" part. It practically ignores the reddit part. I've found that I'm going back to using Google constantly now - which is frustrating. Most of the results I've been getting are very spammy SEO articles too with DDG. I wish it wasn't the case but for what I've tried - it just isn't working as I'd like.

Put yourself in their shoes. What if one copy says the interest rate is 3.5%, and the other says 3.8%? You SAY they are the same, but are the really?

If you have a strict policy of "one version is the 'original' and the rest are 'copies'", then wording of the 'original' gets legal priority. Legal priority == much lower legal bills.

If you have a policy of "they are all the same", then when they are different, you have a nasty, expensive legal fight.
I get that she believed that she was small fractional Native American if that's what she was told (and she thought a couple of percentage points on the test proved her right, so she already knew it was very small.) But she didn't claim to be small fractional Native American. She claimed to be simply 'Native American, period'. I can't see why she'd do that?

New Bytecode Alliance Brings the Security, Ubiquity, and Interop to the World
I've been enjoying Practical Common Lisp. I don't think I'll ship any Lisp code for business purposes but it's been a lot of fun to tinker with and it's conceptually interesting. I think my Python programming ability has grown somewhat indirectly through learning more about Lisp programming.
On the other hand, extreme focus can and should be used to make a complex algorithm simple. It all depends on the programmer's competency to begin with. If he/she doesn't care or know how to make code readable, it never will be readable despite their level of concentration.

The corollary is true as well. I, as well as many others I imagine, have had to fix and maintain dumpster fires of spaghetti code developed under the standard distraction-filled modern business day.

Distraction doesn't beget good code; instead, a good programmer learns how to be as productive as they can despite the dysfunction of a typical modern business.
Waiting for the comments about the name.

On a more serious note, looking forward to trying this new release out. I found previous versions really straightforward to get up and running with on Kubernetes but performance was always lacklustre.
Couldn't you do both? Provide HSA deductible Medicare for all. And force price tags on everything? Then you get government offered health care. Negotiating power of a big single bulk payer. And competition from patients trying to keep some of the insurance money to themselves by avoiding unnecessary care or hunting for a better deal.

Confluence is broken and almost all the solutions that have been provided here is broken since they are not open source. They don't let you contribute and you have no open way of suggesting and/or coming up with another feature.

>the recent prevalence of foreign, disease carrying mosquitos are the two biggest policy issues

This is a weird idea. Are you arguing that native mosquitos carry fewer diseases?

Also... I can agree that health care is #1, but mosquitos are not number 2... more like number 900 or so. The amount of disease caused by them is tiny compared to e.g. smoking or obesity.
JVM was supposed to be this. Gosling said publicly that JVM is more important than Java. .

Many things went wrong. Microsoft was actively sabotaging JVM. They implemented very fast JVM for Explorer and their operating system that intentionally broke the JVM 1.1 standard. See Sun vs Microsoft 1997. Microsoft lost and paid damages. .NET was created to do more damage.
This is great. I've been waiting for a module-level permissions system for a while now; it definitely seems like the best approach to mitigate supply chain attacks.

Hopefully once WASM has demonstrated the principle other languages will follow. This seems like it'd be especially useful in the JS ecosystem, where many modules are already small enough that they'd likely be able to run with no permissions at all.

There is no moral imperative to contact the merchant directly, it's the merchant's choice to use a middleman if they want the benefits of price discrimination or marketing power.

However, I assume I would be better taken care of by the merchant if I contact them directly rather then go through an agent, although I can see if you are going to a very small merchant who needs the agent more, then you may get better service from the agent.

"...the on-premise offering of Quay was released."

It's my premise that the author of that press release doesn't know the difference between "premise" and "premises."

That is restating my point. Different data stores have different characteristics. Identify which ones you care about and make the tradeoffs required. They all require effort. And it is not uncommon to want your data available in different ways at different times.

Well, JFYI, in 2009 (starting 2009, last user posted a few days ago) there was the great Seagate 7200.11 Bricking Season (unrelated to quality of the actual hardware, the issues were related to firmware) that killed so many disks (most of which could be revived) that I guess noone hasn't had one or knew not someone with the issue (or heard someone talking of the matter).

By any metric a thread on an all in all "niche" technical board with almost 5,000 posts and nearly 4,700,000 views should mean that a lot of people experienced the issue:

'No plan survives contact with the enemy', means you need an adaptable system to succeed. The way you use it though, it's like you are saying 'expect to fail'.
On the general topic of ideas, I think necessity really is the mother of invention.

Even if it's just the need to make a living, or a desire to see something that you think would be cool but doesn't exist.

As for coming up with "something truly new", sometimes it's just about re-arranging what already exists into a never-before tried configuration.

e.g. Some people would say the iPhone was nothing new, how it borrowed/stole something from everyone going back to the first caveman etc., while others remember how different the industry (I daresay, world even) was before and after it.

It would be nice if there was a public git repository of random ideas for everyone to add to and build upon. A crowdsourced brainstorming session over time.
That's not sufficient, unless community-property laws also perfectly predict both:

(1) likelihood of repayment & ease of collection; and

(2) net-profitability of a customer, after all fees, charge-reversals, support-costs, etc are considered.

You're under the hypnotic sway of a legal fiction – "community property" – that paints an attractive, childlike simplicity over the situation that doesn't exist in reality.

On the other hand, credit companies have real data about repayment rates, collection yield, & lifetime profitability.

And even with the strongest possible community property laws, in the event of disputes (& divorces!), there's no magic wand a creditor can wave to costlessly collect from DHH if JHH defaults, or vice-versa.

Even if the creditor is completely in-the-right, essentially, all they can do is send threatening letters & make adverse credit reports – which will have differential effectiveness against individuals despite any legal fiat claiming they're the same financial unit.

And whether DHH would be on the hook for JHH's debts is murky & jurisdiction-dependent. Only some US states use "community property" rules to make spouses jointly responsible for each others' debt – and notably, Illinois (where DHH's partnership/CTO position in 37signals is based) isn't one of them. (See: <https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/am-i-liable-my-spous...)

Some reports also place DHH's residence in Spain – and according to <http://www.coupleseurope.eu/en/spain/topics/2-is-there-a-sta..., there, "each spouse… is not responsible for the debts of the other".

So what's the legal or statistical basis for your implication that "community property" makes them identical credit- and profitability- risks? (Has the couple even revealed that they're in a "community property" jurisdiction?)

I love how we spend so much time rediscovering all those hard truths that we supposedly already learned in the "Web 2.0" era. Whenever you have user-generated content, you need to deal with the quality and legality of that content. FOSS and decentralization enthusiasts still seem to be imagining the internet as a place where all people willingly cooperate to create positive value for everyone, as if trolls, pirates and conspiracy theorists weren't a thing.

People sometimes seem to think the purpose of the voting mechanism is to provide an objective evaluation of the quality of their contributions, or even their inherent value as a human being. It's not.

The main purpose of the voting mechanism is to sort the responses within a thread, so that someone can skim a large comment section by reading only the first comments at each level of nesting. If it's working right, it should include the most interesting/relevant/accurate comments.

Tom_mellior, I can't quickly find any heavily downvoted comments of yours. One that's slightly downvoted is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21417799, which is kind of low-effort. A downvote reasonably reflects the fact that it doesn't belong near the top of any list of the most interesting/relevant/accurate comments on the subject matter of the paper that a busy reader shouldn't miss if they're skimming quickly.

Most of your comments are great, so thanks for your contribution!

The author claims to have achieved autonomous driving at the moment of writing. It is sarcastic that he claims that only a few months after the
first recorded case of a pedestrian fatality involving a self-driving (autonomous) car (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Elaine_Herzberg . And yes, that car was not driving fully autonomous, yet it displays the dramatic effects of research on autonomous driving, not even the outcome).

Obviously, "we" did not yet solve autonomous driving.

apt is prone to catastrophic failure that's very hard to diagnose but setting up an IDE is as simple as clicking OK on a few prompts in an installer. For some real data nobody in the high school class I took that used visual studio had any issue with the fact it was visual studio.

Car ICEs have to be dirt cheap. Jet engines are expensive enough to include expensive goodies.

For example, an Mercedes claims its F1 engine achieves 50% thermal efficiency. That's insane, and maybe double what a car engine achieves. It also costs $1million(???)/unit.

You have to read the previous post (linked by "Yesterday's Post" at the start of the article) and it makes more sense.

In a system with as many issues as the one described there, a controller is probably not the best use of time - just increasing minimums at peak times would work fine, and there are other problems that are probably more important.

I think there's a lot of inefficiency, actually, in a lot of orgs, because devs are highly paid but can't (for whatever reason) be permitted much status at all, which includes other employees whose job it is to do data entry & bureaucratic communication and such that doesn't require a developer's direct input (as having such people to delegate tasks to is a major status thing, nevermind whether it'd make a ton of business sense).

Interesting that the text in the search bar in the screenshot says "AWS Pinpoint Alternatives" doesn't actually line up with the text at the bottom where it says "Searches related to Send with SES — AWS Pinpoint Alternative" and you only see 5 pages of results. The text at the bottom should repeat the search phrase verbatim.

I get completely different results on Google if I actually search for the phrase in the search bar, with no sign of the blog in question. I see zero evidence that the scummy SEO tactic actually works and a lot more evidence of a faked "Google" screenshot.

For case #2, isn't it a bit presumptious of the MyRAIIFile to make the decision to abort the entire program? It would be nice if the destructor could report the error upward to whoever called it, so they can decide whether to log or abort.

When you say "In general, resource reclaim code should always be infallible", that sounds kind of optimistic (as this example shows, cleanup code is fallible), the question is just where we handle it. So, should I instead read this statement as "destructors shouldn't return"? And if so, is that because of the C++ limitation that destructors can't return, or fundamentally a best practice unrelated to the language?

Even $3 is high for just a copy of the deed.

I always do my own title search when buying property. You go to the courthouse and you just go back one page at a time. Each deed references the previous ones. You copy each on the photocopier there which if you live in a fair and reasonable county costs 10-25 cents a page. Or you can even bring your own scanner in if you like. Go back 100 years or so. Then at your leisure later review each of these for liens and encumbrances. And also whack problems with the boundary descriptions, or questionable issues with right of way.

Doing this is way more valuable than paying hundreds to somebody to hand you off something they are pretending to be a proper title search.
