Wow. I predict any kind of collaboration would involve a painful set of further interactions with little benefit.

For the benefit of the probably only two others in the studio audience (who are probably currently both facepalming), we tested with multiple libraries, multiple languages, multiple OS and multiple data subsets. We found in our particular experience that JSON worked the best across our criteria using a representative sample of our datasets. Nowhere did I say XML is always the wrong choice for others. I vaguely recall I wrote I'm now none too keen on XML but have used it in the past. For some things I'd actually choose TSV over XML but thats on fairly, hopefully, obvious cases. I think XML's verbosity is actually its strength but that it has tradeoffs which are quite real. This should not come as a revelation to anyone.

I shared a necessarily limited snapshot of an experience I had and an opinion I formed based on it. I think others can do their own testing as I expect they will anyway. They will confirm or deny based on what they are doing. Especially the opposite case of large imports in XML being faster than everything else. That's completely fine by me.

You've definitely made too many assumptions based on too little data. You didn't even ask what industry this was for. Or what kind of data it was. Or even what disparate systems were involved such that we'd end up with something you state are inappropriately large compressed text files. You disregarded the use of "keywords" such as gigabytes or even compression in general as if those should be unimportant to us. Or why we would use JSON at all. Then you make judgements. Fairly condescending ones at that. This shows a general lack of awareness across several aspects of life in general. For the sake of both of those other people still following this chain, I'll finish here. Life is too short.

Ask HN: Have you switched from a MacBook to a Linux laptop?
If so, how's the trackpad? Which laptop did you switch to? Are you happy with the switch? I love the trackpad on my Mac, and have yet to find anything else remotely as good. I can't stand the keyboard or touch bar. I'd love to find a Linux laptop that: has a good trackpad, good keyboard, and 5k external monitor support.
btw what did you like most about using the magnitude format? lazy loading seems good, depending on if it takes time to load the sqlite DB at each startup. That's one of the major pains of working on anything with word embeddings is that server reloads / hot restarts take forever.

The fastText vectors (see below) also use subword embeddings so I think they had potentially better results. I used FT for some Chinese stuff and I think it worked better for that since chinese characters are so much more important than latin scripts.

Seems magnitude python API also has some other features like POS tagging, I wonder how that compares to say spaCy.

Current Google-ish company person here, and this can be just as dangerous as it is beneficial. I was on this team, more than once, where I’m complacent and no one is asking for more from me... so I started helping. I thought I was moving towards leadership because I was identifying and solving the right problems for others. I felt successful.

None of this work contributed to my career path, although it was development work. I felt like a hero, but the people who respected my new work didn’t complete the feedback loop and/or my current leadership didn’t care.

It actually stole time from work that would have gotten me promoted/provided more challenges.

I felt like I lost my role as SME and instead became a jack-of-all-trades.

It was good experience and luckily did not get me fired. When I look back I realize that the problem was the team/leadership’s lack of growth-focus and support. If I had transferred teams or left the company I may have been better off. I say may have, because other than feeling like I wasted a few years learning this, I’ve ended up in roughly the same place I would have been.

Setting aside all of the anecdotes for and against bootcamps in this thread and the one on Twitter, consider this: compared to the rest of the job market, software engineering in 2020 is a ridiculous gold rush, no matter which way you slice it. And bootcamps are a vague-but-lucrative new business sector that capitalizes on this reality with hardly any regulation or accreditation system.

Historically, whenever there's been a lucrative new business opportunity with little oversight it's almost guaranteed to be rife with corruption and scams. That's not to say that legit bootcamps don't exist - my own partner had a successful experience with one - but the marketplace is a minefield of potentially life-ruining opportunities, and the only way to tell good from bad is through anecdotes and he-said-she-said. That's a big problem.
The question isn't whether there are smart, motivated people who graduate from a boot camp and succeed. Of course there are. But what's much less clear is the value add of a boot camp. Yes, smart, highly motivated people will succeed after a boot camp, but there's plenty of reason to think they'd succeed regardless.

What is worse is the not-so-smart people who spend five figures in a boot camp, and get nothing out of it. The fact that so many boot camps feel the need to goose their numbers by hiring the failgrads is a pretty clear sign that this happens a lot.
Sorry, but I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. Is your scenario that the users license to use the OS is revoked combined with there not being any backups?

If you store data on a computer without backups you can expect to lose that data. Disks breaks, files are corrupted, computers are stolen, node.js deletes your crap. Or whatever.

As for employees embedding stuff in OS code. Sure, that can happen. Open source developers can also embed such code into any code they write, which has happened many times already. Unless you are writing your OS yourself from scratch or manually reviewed all source code for all code running on your machine (which I suspect no one has done the last decades), this is a risk. Open source or not.
Hi, Support Engineering Manager here. This is an okay approach. But let's talk about where it breaks down:

Bugs.

Some premises:

- The majority of Support Requests are around bugs or administration.

- Product teams are incentivized to ship features.

- Bugs are often de-prioritized or "balanced" with feature requests.

Solution: Embed an engineer (or build engineers out of support -- who will focus on support problems) and let them fix the bugs that are most important to support (and have full access to pair/partner with greater eng if the bug is gnarly.)

This will reduce Product's backlog, and product can then focus on feature requests of which are usually ~15-20% of requests.

Let that support engineer Build the tooling needed to make support more efficient.

This is often a problem in orgs (getting eng resources for cost-centers) because it's not "product features".

This process allows bugfix to circumvent the product planning and prioritization process and ultimately make for a better customer experience (where the bug can be solved quickly.)

Product can still get customer feedback and focus on building new features, support solves their problem, and everyone is happier.
I'm curious how they check the entire system?

I'm OK with the banks or even the card companies keeping a record of transactions. But Google boasts that it buys 80% of all the world's credit card transaction data for its profiling. That's just not cool.
“ They cost a fraction of the price, and then the operating costs are much less because they’re so much easier to fix,” he said.”

It’s not really so much a technology problem as the ability to repair, probably by the farmers themselves.

Companies don’t make it easy. You need special equipment, tools, etc.

We could insist on a right to repair, open standards, etc
Capitalism is working in this case. Boeing is being punished. Market forces are not always instantaneous. The China boom made investors demand unreasonable returns for domestic companies as well. A good business plan and making solid money over time is no longer acceptable. The China boom changed the expectations of investors to unreasonable rates. But the China boom wasn't capitalism. The Chinese economy is highly controlled and this influence on more capitalistic markets is what happens where the two separate markets converge.

There is probably a sizable market for building out software and technology for 'upgrading' older farm equipment to modern principals, such as self driving, variable rate fertilization, variable rate planting, etc. When I was more involved in ag research I met several farmers who DIY built themselves variable rate fertilization drills. While its not ubiquitous, the farming community has a very long culture of DIY out of pure necessity. I think this is the source of the pushback against companies like JD.
I'm not saying Softbank is a great fund (I've thought they made shitty investments long before the recent media frenzy in the past year), I just meant Creator isn't exactly a startup starlet that is drowning in funding opportunities. They're ~10 years old, have raised ~25 MM, and I heard their last round was already a downround (pretty bad considering how little they've raised and how long they've been around).

Looking from the outside, Creator was likely desperate for cash and happy to agree to anything - which they did. And unless they ended up with no cash at all after this brouhaha, they are probably still better off than they were initially.

And who knows - maybe Softbank will still give a stupid amount of cash to another terrible robotics startup. They've certainly done dumber things before.
That's not exactly true or at least the truth is often a lot more complicated than that.

For example: Turnham Green tube isn't at Turnham Green. It's at a park called Acton Green common (which also isn't in Acton, it's in Chiswick). Turnham Green (the actual green) is actually closer to Chiswick Park tube, which is also near a park which isn't called Chiswick Park.

Turnham Green tube station is named that because it's where the battle of Turnham Green happened in the English Civil war.

Indeed. Which is enough to put electricity at par or even more expensive than ICE vehicles.

Germany is also densely populated, which means many can't charge at home and might need to pay a higher rate for electricity somewhere else.
It would be perfectly possible to build a payment system where the participants by default don't know the identity of most other parties.

Given how much fraud is happening with customer data (that is: it being acquired under a pretense and then used for a different purpose), I very much doubt it.

Except that's kinda orthogonal. The paper solution is easier to demonstrate to be free of back doors, but there is no reason why you couldn't build an "online solution" that doesn't do any tracking. You could just hand out random tokens without ever associating them with a transaction, and then accept sets of ten of those to redeem for a rebate, say.

>Tesla understands that the thing that new EV owners really want is to feel secure (read: range and chargers so they're not stranded)

Do you have any evidence for this? It's a fact that most people drive fewer than 50 miles per day, and most can charge at home. I'd also bet that most EV owners have a second vehicle which has an ICE.
My parents are both practicing physicians, and I am a bootcamp graduated developer. We have talked about this at length, and their conclusion is that there is no real reason why parts of medical education can't be done in a similar manner.

90% of what they learned in medical school is irrelevant to their specialties, and the vast majority of the medicine they practiced was learned 'on the job'.

Medical education is heavily regulated and controlled by licensing organizations, and this is the primary reason why there would never be a disruption in the education model like this. Whether or not this a good thing is tough to answer.

> In graphics mode, you had to select one of two horrible combinations of 3 colors, and could pick any color to be the fourth color.

Any colour? Wow! :-D :-D :-D

It's quite telling that with the recent popularity of pixel art games, none of them really restrict themselves in colour space like the games of old had to do. Having a limited amount of pixels to convey something is a fun challenge, having a limited amount of colours, or a limited palette, is just not fun. It's miserable, and having to do dithered graphics is fucking miserable.

All good ideas, but repairing surface mount / integrated / dust and vibration glued parts is not as easy EVEN IF they were open standards as a 40 year old tractor is to repair. I spent way to long repairing an old gas engine, it was super simple in terms of operating approach. Opening the hood on my new car - the fixes are not as obvious.

People act very differently when they are being filmed. Go to the nearest largest city and start filming passerby in an obvious fashion. People will not appreciate it and act differently towards you (likely visibly hostile). That reaction supports the notion that something of value is lost when you blanket-surveil a society.

It doesn't support encryption.

When comparing to signal, or indeed to any modern chat client, you need to call out when you are mentioning non-Riot clients that don't support encryption.

In the original article you did this well: when you claimed "no fragmentation," the next sentence explained that the claim didn't apply to encryption.

In general, matrix feature-boasting about things it can do without encryption is confusing people. Most new users are coming to matrix expecting encryption, and they get it. But then matrix advocacy presentations proceed from the ridiculous assumption that open-source chat without encryption would be interesting as something to move onto, while hiding this assumption. Please stop doing this to preserve your credibility.
Yeah, this.

On the one hand the idea that you can become a well-paid programmer starting from one of these bootcamps is almost insulting to me as someone who dedicated much of his life to the field.

Mat views are great as the article showed. I use them to get query response down to milliseconds, as they vastly reduce the amount of data ClickHouse must scan.

That said, there are a lot of other tools: column storage, vectorwise query, efficient compression including column codecs, and skip indexes to name a few. If you only have a few billion rows it's still possible to get sub-second query results using brute force scans.
