> The issues outlined here are one of the reasons that I am moving as many of my workflows to org-mode as possible. Everything is text.

That works for some, even most people. Unfortunately, the content I create will inevitably cite material in languages other than the main document language. That means that I have to heavily use HTML span lang="XX" tags to set the right language for those passages, so that (among other things) users with screenreaders will get the right output. As far as I know, org-mode lacks the ability to semantically mark up text in this way.
In reality, however, some Bloomberg users struggle daily with inaccurate data, lack of documentation, manual (slow) help on trivial issues, and poor performance when running analytics. It is more like a bloated GUI app pretending to be a terminal, worst of both worlds.

They don't need it, but their customers might. I always imagined it was like in movies about rich people in the 80s where the waiter would interrupt the lunch with a note on a silver platter, and they run off because Saudia Arabia just cut oil production and oil futures are going crazy or something. But wait! They don't have to go all the way to their office because there's a Bloomberg right here!

"Half" is almost certainly an exaggeration, but there's probably a few places on Wall Street that serve $200 steaks or whatever for lunch regularly that have one. And it probably gets used only a few times a month, if at all, and they consider it an advertising expense.

Disclaimer: I was a programmer for Bloomberg, but I never saw one in a restaurant.
The official reason is that they exported US tech to Iran. But its pretty obvious the whole thing is political. Even trump contradicted the official reason a day later.

Well yeah. Doing something that makes it easy to prove that your intent was malicious does tend to change things a bit.

The "database as message queue" pattern is quite common and often considered to be an antipattern, which I tend to agree with but I don't have that strong of a position on it myself. I've certainly used this pattern for expediency, but that was before we had all the messaging solutions we do today. http://mikehadlow.blogspot.com/2012/04/database-as-queue-ant... has some good points.

The Alienation Index comes from a telephone survey. The results changed very dramatically from 29 & 36 in 1966 and 1968 to 55 and 59 in '73, '74. Since then, it has varied with a small positive trend between 50 and 70.

The initial jump in the first 7 years looks like impacts of methodological changes. Since then, the portion of the population that is willing to pick up the phone and answer questions has plummeted, so that a phone survey sample is an unusual slice of the American Population and getting more and more unusual all the time

In fact, the requirements are quite relaxed already. I wanted to make it even more strict, but my partner insisted on relaxing them.

The age of simple passwords are long gone, as they are really easy to crack with enough budget.

There is software like Venifi, but it requires everyone to follow a specific process. You still have outliers.
I disagree. It requires linear space in the sense that you need another data structure to deal with hash collisions. If you read my comment I was talking about exactly that. In normal applications of bloom filter it's built before a cache layer to ask if your data is in the cache. For this you do not need a list of objects since if bloom filter wrongly determined that object is in the set, it will be a cache miss and as long as a bloom filter operation is faster than a cache miss this is usually a good tradeoff; because normally when you're about to have a cache miss, you end up not going to cache because bloom filter says the object is not there. For this application, you do NOT need O(N) space inside the bloom filter layer, but obviously eventually someone will need to go retrieve this data.

> If you actually read any of the math

I mean I did and I was trying to describe that math above. I built bloom filters many times before. I'm curious if you misread my comment.

> So the US sanctions on Huawei, that were intended to be crippling and were fairly abrupt and harsh, had only a minor effect on Huawei.

Of course they had only a minor effect, since they were always postponed to some future date. [1] The sanctions weren't intended to be crippling and harsh, but to threaten becoming crippling and harsh unless China makes certain concessions. So long as the concessions remain on the table, the sanctions remain off the table.

Yes. That’s a great post, but betterC is not directly backward compatible with C. D also lacks many of the features that I’ve grown to like about Rust.

But, let’s say you’re right. D is SaferC—are the folks who are still waiting for a SaferC able to recognize it as such? Or, have they already decided that like Rust it doesn’t meet the criteria of the language that they’re waiting for?
Meta: And as I often do when I read the Guardian I donated.

Why I write this?

1. Hopefully someone reading HN works for newspapers and can tell them that there exist a good number of people who doesn't want to subscribe but who want to pay for quality content[0].

I guess on average I pay $5 every time I glance over an article in the Guardian.

2. I want to urge more people around here to support companies and organizations that do the right thing. I guess many of you already do but many do not.

When we go to school or work in low paying jobs it is hard to pay and I guess it is easy for that habit to stick long after we cross into the richest 10 or 20% of the population.

[0]: I do also subscribe to two newspapers and one magazine and buy the paper from the kid who sell it every Sunday morning. Oh, and buy magazines and books. And pay my mandatory news tax (about $500 alone) that funds the national somewhat lopsided broadcasting channel. I'm happy to pay a bit more for individual articles but I cannot subscribe to every paper (and I wouldn't have a chance to read them all either)

(Feels extremely weird to brag like this. That's why I made a new account.)
I would assume that V, Zn, Mo, and Cr form some compound with carbon dioxide that isn't soluble - so it collects in sediment. Or, it could be the acidity levels? I think it's often the case that metal concentrations come from the release of oxygen from primitive micro-organisms, as the oxygen reacts with elemental metals to form layers of insoluble metal oxides on the seabed.
That's a very clever but insulting comparison. iPhone and Android (and etc) are both clearly smartphones with the same general features. I have to use an iPhone for work. I try to get the most out of it, but am constantly surprised how primitive and clunky it is compared to the Android experience.

Forcing the apps to go through their approval process likely discourages some malicious behavior. Even if Apple approves an app they can still yank it at any time should the discover an issue. Require Apple to include apps and anything goes.

Adventure Abound at the Hotel X Caret
Adventures Abound at the Hotel X Caret

Can you imagine what you would get when you combine six thrilling theme parks with a luxurious and elegant resort full of top of the line amenities? We can, and the result would be the phenomenal Hotel X Caret, which is located in Mexico.
While non-guests can enjoy any of the theme parks, it is the guests of the hotel that will really reap the benefits of having all six theme parks so close to their room. The Hotel X Caret theme parks include Xel-Ha, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xavage, Xoximilco, and Xenses.
Xel-Ha is the perfect place if you are a nature lover, as you can wander through this natural jungle to go from one activity to the next. You can snorkel in the cove, zip line over the trees, cross the floating bridge, and even climb to the top of the lighthouse.
Amphibious vehicles are all the rage at Xplor, while it is all about the off-road vehicles, jet boats, and Riviera Maya rapids over at Xavage. Nights are best spent at Xplor Fuego, as the paths are lit by torches, the rivers are filled with lava, and the campfire is burning hot for those who surround it during the BBQ buffet. It is all about the senses and illusions at Xenses and the fiesta never ends at Xoximilco.
At the end of a long day at any of the parks, you will want to venture back to your nearby spacious hotel room to relax. You will love any of the luxurious suites, but the swim up garden suite may be your favorite, since the pool is only steps, or should we say strokes, away.
As you are booking your stay, you may think that the prices are a little high. However, you need to keep in mind that the price that you are paying will include your room, your time in each of the parks, tours of Xenotes and Xichen, and almost all your meals and drinks.
As you are saving money on your vacation in Mexico, you will find that you will also have a fantastic adventure after all.

The claimants successfully argued that software in question was buggy, and these bugs caused them financial problems:

> This situation, however unsatisfactory, is still far better than the payment disputes I see in practice. In the Post Office trial, a large proportion of the eye-watering costs were spent on forcing Post Office Limited to disclose documentation on Horizon’s bugs, which technical experts could then summarise to the judge. Every payment system dispute I’ve seen has made do with bland assertions that the computer system is working properly, which is the presumption in English law.[1] The Post Office trial demonstrates how wrong the presumption can be, that overturning it in litigation is so expensive that little compensation is left, and even then the resulting situation gives nobody much satisfaction.

[1] states:

> In 1997, the [UK] Law Commission decided that writers of software code wrote perfect code, because it introduced the presumption, that included computers by implication (or more accurately, digital data), that, ‘In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the courts will presume that mechanical instruments were in order at the material time’. Politicians decided to replicate the presumption for criminal proceedings by passing section 129(2) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.

> No evidence was put forward by the Law Commission to substantiate the assertion that computers were ‘reliable’ (this is the word that is often used), and proposals for reform have not been take up.

RDS is a value-add on top of EC2. Therefore its actual price is the extra premium.

If a food delivery company doubles their fees from 10% to 20% and the restaurant cuts its price proportionally, do you really say the delivery price is the same?

The total cost remains the same but the value the customer receives from the delivery service per dollar spent has been cut in half.

I've always considered message-queues as a close cousin (if not sibling) of databases. Arguably performing the same function with different foci. Pub/sub focusing on the "oplog". DBMS focusing on "state".

(Blockchain another "oplog" that ends up caring a lot about state eventually).

It's no wonder you can use them interchangeably in many common base cases.
What? What do you base that on? Banks may be too big to fail because single bank can affect millions of lives, I doubt you can say the same about one of few plane competitors. Otherwise we could apply your logic to every fortune 500 corp.

There was no sudden doubling. Prices were lowered just not to everyone's satisfaction or expectation.
Cargo workspaces are more of an optimization in that they let all the crates in your project share the same output directory[0], so built dependencies can be shared among every crate, as opposed to each crate needing to (re)build all of its dependencies independently.

This helps to reduce compile times when working on projects where you frequently switch between crates.

>but unlikely to be healthier than high-quality jams made from whole fruit.

Healthier is a bit of a misnomer here. Honey is nothing but sugar (no micro nutrients or negligible at best), still it is the easiest sugar for humans to process and convert to energy.

"high-quality jams made from whole fruit" is just a giant broad brushstroke, you may as well just broadly say fruit is healthier than honey (as if all fruit is created equally), sure there are some micronutirents in most fruits which you don't get from honey, but most fruits are also going to spike insulin...and coming back to the idea of "high-quality jams made from whole fruit", the reality is most store bought jams will be highly processed (so most of the beneficial fiber and micronutrients will be replaced with refined sugar and/or HFCS).
Does anyone know how much Russian iPhone says are worth to Apple?

Also interesting to know would be much the iPhone platform is worth to Russian app developers if they can no longer buy Apple hardware to test/develop against?

If both of these figures are small then it could well in Apple's interests to just abandon sales in Russia.

Since, from the article, this proposed law would only cover sale of new devices those really motivated would still be able to buy abroad.

Yep. My (brief) time in the metal industry was quite different.

Nobody talked about passion and enthusiasm. Companies look for somebody to perform a job, and people with the relevant skills offer their hand. A simple, professional exchange, no cults, no kool-aid.

No "you need to be keen about learning new tech like a kid that just got out of high school, oh and you gotta be super competent with all this stuff we use because we don't have time for people to be learning things on the job, oh and you gotta be social and charming and customer focused, oh and you gotta be very enthusiastic about our company and product (actually we don't know which product or team we'll assign you to yet, but you still gotta be super enthusiastic about it), oh and you'll probably end up maintaining some terrible legacy stack that nobody else wants to touch. So, why are you applying to this job? Justify your presence! It's not like we posted about an open position, and it's not like we're constantly complaining about shortage of talent while turning people down left and right .. oh wait"

The terminal has been so successful largely because of timing and damn good execution.

If I remember correctly, it was cell phone video taken by someone in the control room at the time of the test.
Cities that regulate taxis usually do that because they treat them as an extension of city's transport infrastructure. Cities put certain burdens on taxis - like the requirement of picking up and driving passengers even if it's unprofitable or inconvenient (e.g. to/from outskirts, to/from hospitals), making some of the fleet accessible to elderly and disabled, carrying appropriate insurance, having somewhat fixed rates. In exchange, the city gives a bunch of privileges to the taxi companies (like use of bus lanes, or a degree of monopoly), so that they can make a profit despite the extra burdens. The balance between requirements and benefits is different in different cities, and indeed in some places it got skewed badly over time to favor the companies over the public.

The problem with Uber is that they've entered this regulated space and unilaterally decided to ignore all those regulations. Sure, they don't get the special benefits, but they also don't share the burdens. Thus they easily outcompete the taxis on the profitable routes, leaving the regular taxi companies to work the unprofitable ones, which they usually are required by law to serve.
I've often gotten my best/most interesting software projects done in the lull from Dec 15 to Jan 5 (when almost nobody is working, meetings are cancelled, etc). It's an opportunity cost- by paying it, you'll have more opportunties to work on interesting things during the year, and it can be enjoyable to focus on one "simple" thing (for example, this break I'm making code that generates 3D surfaces that I then carve into wood using CNC; it requires a fair amount of fiddling, then waiting hours for the results, then some more tweaking, while keeping all the state in your head).
