That's not what the article says. The delivery companies are representing that the restaurants are on the platform, but charging the wrong price for the menu items, and refusing to pay the difference when the order amount is insufficient to cover the actual price.

Trauma and PTSD like suicide is contagious.

Giving it to women and their partners who have a miscarriage or the loss of a child is also heartbreaking.

I'm not saying don't talk about, I'm just saying calling it trauma and PTSD will irrevocably harm some people and possibly hurt more than it will help.

I don't think the media should lie even if it harms people. But equally I don't think the story here is a story that justifies the harm it might cause, they still can tell the truth responsibly if the BBC just took care and didn't chase clicks.
Sure, but:

> That report notes that "insufficient interest" from Epic customers in Google is behind the decision to focus efforts instead with those cloud competitors.

It seems like if you run Epic Systems at Google, you were in a minority that is apparently not worth supporting. This seems less like Epic putting their thumb on the scale, and more like their customers putting their thumb on the scale.
Oh spare me, you may as well scold anybody discussing any aspect of the story since she's not yet been convicted of anything and might well be innocent of it all. I don't think this particular aspect of the story is any more off limits for casual discussion than other parts.
I wonder what Rust is being used for here.
I believe now that you're on the list they'll track what you download?
True. The media amplifies Twitter to the point of relevance. Its actually used by a very small percentage of the population - with any frequency. But every "news" outlet relies on it for "BREAKING NEWS". Taking what is nothing but a passing comment, and somehow turning it into "news". That is its power and its weakness.
The implication here is that the best way to know that someone else has an itch to scratch is to have that same itch yourself.

And "itch" is to "problem" as "scratch" is to "solve." The fact that you know or use something doesn't make it a problem to solve. But if you think you can do it better or different, then maybe someone else agrees.
Here's the one case I found of Dan chastising Cougher: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21663726

Which would make "multiple times" and "not one single time" both wrong. I'd presume neither is a lie, though. More likely, Dan miscounted, and Cougher never saw Dan's request.

Yes, I am great fun at parties -- why do you ask?
Financially, absolutely. Much better in the valley, in fact. But there are a lot of intangibles. For example, I appreciate being able to go to the beach every day, swim, collect sea shells with my daughter, and spending more time with her and my wife in general. That is uniquely afforded to me by working remote for a salary substantially less than if I were in the bay. If I were 20 again and single, I'd probably really consider it. But any older than that and I see it as a net negative, despite the salary. No amount of money buys you back time in the prime of your life. It may buy you time later, though. Things to consider...
While I think technically incorrect, I often see "degree" used to refer to the physical certificate (diploma) as well. Perhaps in part because there is a feeling that a "diploma" is something conferred by high schools, since they typically don't use the term "degree" but do use the term "diploma".

interesting, thank you for sharing.

Could I transpose your thought into:

--

Solutions (or large scale programs), should not be written
in a general purpose language.

Instead, there should be core domain language (solution DSL) developed (using a general purpose language)
and then the solution should be developed using the solution DSL.

?
Is there a Lisp I can download,
for Windows, that provides a linear algebra problem solving environment* out of the box or from a package manager? Ideally linked to a reasonably optimized BLAS implementation.

* this is intentionally under-specified, but to me it means some nontrivial subset of matlab/numpy functionality
There's a lot of bad stats out there that are based on averages, which are distorted by the high infant and childhood mortality rate of pre-industrial humans.
Wasn't the irk of Google's Ascension deal the Google Sales team forcing a data sharing agreement in exchange for a sweeter cloud resource prices?
Me. It is my go-to tool to build everything/prototype. It is the most productive tool I know of to get things up and running. There is nothing like it. I also know Python, Lua and various Schemes, but they do not come close. Smalltalk presents the smallest barrier between idea and working code for me.

Especially if with the "live in the debugger" type of development where you write a test and get the debugger to tell you the next step.

Try it, you might like it.
It's interesting how this is one of those things where you have a very different perspective on it as an adult than as a child/teen. As a child, 100% of your friends had parents who were fertile, and nearly 100% had parents who wanted kids. As an adult, you realize that there's this vast world out there of people who either don't want or can't have kids, and you may even be part of that world.

Survivorship bias is such an amazingly powerful force on our mental models of how the world works.
By default it blocks network access... at least in my experience
Yes. Don't do it. Buy the nice little mercury-argon lamp from Ocean Optics.

First of all, the mercury lamp is dangerous, for real. Second, the newer sterilizer pens contain complicated interlock circuitry, making it impossible to figure out how to actually get the lamp to turn on by itself. I got one lamp to light up from an external power supply, then set it aside and bought a few of the Ocean Optics boxes.

As a wavelength standard, it was also a poor configuration -- most of the light can't be directed where you need it, whereas the Ocean Optics produces a nice compact beam and has a fiber optic connector.
There are a few "carbon footprint calculators" out there which can give you an idea based on your lifestyle.

Here's one that looks reasonable: https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx. The largest share of my emissions was from flights, making up 7 tons of my 14 ton total.

So you might think the best single change I could make would be to stop flying. But the same website quotes $8/ton to offset my carbon footprint. So an even better single change would be to donate $100/year to some initiative to upgrade cooking stoves in Africa, or whatever the current best-value project is.
I wholeheartedly agree but also don't know how to fill those gaps. I'd love a church-like institution. I think about going to church almost every sunday just to experience being together with people in that way.

I remember it fondly from being a child even though I no longer believe in it.

I don't understand why you're minimizing a partners' feelings in this way. Yes it's absolutely worse for a woman who miscarries. But partners can and do suffer trauma (and, weirdly, post partum), and frequently just bury it -- it's a recipe for ptsd. All suffering is relative, there's no point at which a partner thinks "thank god I'm not the person who miscarried or I'd really feel trauma". It's painful all around.
I speak common American English, and I've always equated "amateur" with "not paid or licensed to do the thing," rather than "awful at the thing."

Same here. Native English speaker, lived on the East Coast all of my life. I don't find "amateur" to necessarily have negative connotations, but clearly it depends on the context.
Neural networks are differentiable regexes that can be trained from examples. In the alpha fold case, which is the case with a lot of bioinformatics actually, is that you don't need to know a lot about the biological domain to be successful in solving "data" problems in the field.
Sounds a lot like Python with its standard library, eq. "batteries included".
>I believe this, simply because the vast majority of abortions are elective.

That can't be right, you're dearly underestimating the number of miscarriages or we live in a very crazy world.

FreeBSD has always been so far behind in basic security migitations. It is 2020, and FreeBSD still doesn't have ASLR.
But aren't his possessions valued because of his accomplishments in computer science rather than because he was gay and prosecuted for it?
Again, it's your call. You'll hear lots of input from customers and potential customers. Some of it you should listen to, others you should not. The one thing that's rarely worth doing is trying to convince an individual customer they're wrong, because even if they have a demonstrable misconception it doesn't scale to try to convince your customers one-by-one that they are wrong. You need to do that at scale, and sometimes that means buying into how they view your product even if it's not how you view it. In the meantime I, like many others, will continue to not integrate GPL code into my website, even if google analytics uses the words derivative product in their EULA.
Does this work for anyone?
Can't figure out why they would do this. Seems like a no win situation.
Was it an on-site interview? I’m curious how he was able to convince you to install the env.
They've been circling the toilet for a while now. Quality matters.
Isn't this sort of what Glib is getting at? Bringing higher level data structures and capabilities (extendable arrays, hash tables, heaps, etc.) into C.

https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-data-types.html

You don't get Cello's macros, and it uses reference counting instead of invisible garbage collection, but you get a lot of fun high-level capabilities.
Nah, FreeBSD lost server story in the cloud. There is a very little story in on-prem. There is way more risk choosing FreeBSD as your server OS than as your desktop OS.

This is coming from someone who use FreeBSD on daily laptop and weekend desktop. I would just not pick FreeBSD at work for anything other than my personal-work VM.

Rust is not an answer. There is zero kernel development support from both rust and freebsd side. I know that because I'm working on KPI for both as well as multiple userspace library wrappers.
Rust is the answer to EVERYTHING on HN. Even when that person has never used Rust before.
I mean, it shows me results. I have no idea if its correct. I am working from a co-working space and it shows that someone on this IP has torrented a couple of xxx films.
I do wonder how their categorizations work. There are lot of things classified as Movies that are clearly TV shows. This doesn't bode well for what they call "Child Porn". If they sell the lists of these IPs, it's rather scary to think it's as reliable as their Movie or TV filters.
It seems like it shouldn’t be legal to misrepresent another business’ prices like this. If it is legal, then what’s to prevent competitor x from circulating fake ads with fake sales from competitor y, getting competitor y a bunch of angry would-be customers, and then collecting the disgruntled customers later?

Presumably there’s a general law preventing this. Is there?
We currently support Rust message-passing based plugins. Rust sources can be fetched with Cargo or other alternative tools.

Maybe (just "maybe" for now) we will be able to support plugin imports. In that case dylibs could be directly pulled down from network just like normal files (don't take my words as official though -- we have not decided on that yet)

There have been attempts to add some util functions for loading such plugins easier: https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/3471
I got it from Hodges book ("Alan Turning: The Enigma"). Hodges actually comes to the opposite conclusion, that Turing's death was likely a suicide. But he does a fair enough presentation of both sides of the issue that I walked away thinking an accident was most likely.

To be clear, there's no definitive evidence either way. Reasonable people can differ in which version they find more plausible. But I think the extent to which a lot of people tell it as certainly being a suicide (and certainly being due to anger over his unjust conviction, he could've committed suicide for unrelated reasons!) is distorting the issue.
A great article! It's particularly cool to see that despite the author's adoration for Beethoven, he still points out some of his musical weaknesses, like counterpoint (we could also add opera).

I would highly recommend "Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph" for anyone with the perseverance: https://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Anguish-Triumph-Jan-Swaffor...
I would have never gotten the wordplay at hand. Thanks !
Very clever.
AI intrinsic socialist nature is showing in comments like these. It's so weird to hear companies ask for regulation while the government is saying don't worry about it. Either Google knows something mainstream AI research doesn't or it's some kind of weird deferential posturing about competencies.
Eh, I am coding in C and Scheme rn under OpenBSD.

Iridium works, html5 video works, so do the videos under MPV. I've heard succesful stories from OpenBSD users with Vulkan under MESA. Even amdgpu works, but the -current release is better for that.

PPSSPP and some C# gaming works; so does N64, NES, SNES, PSX and even maybe DC emulation. A PS2 emulation is WIP, and it's not PCSX2. Then there is Dolphin, Nethack, ScummVM, lots of source ports...

You have LibreOffice if you want, among a lot of known ports https://openports.pl such as Python3, R, Node, and so on. No Netflix, but maybe with fake mobile UA's under Chromium you can override the DRM.

CWM+XClock+Xlock as my "DE". I don't need more.
Must be a release build, otherwise that'd panic before it wrapped around.
Hopefully you making a joke with `make world` because it's deprecated way of doing it.
Yes, and I have some control over that which I exercise regularly. Not enough control, but what I have I use proactively.

I'm also active in trying to wrestle more control of the data being collected on me.

And I am not willing to give up my privacy for your convenience and not happy with those who'd willingly give up theirs in a way that sweeps mine up with it.
It could be someone who doesn't get nerd/tech culture. Christie's valued some Star Trek memorabilia at $30k, it ended up selling for $500k.
That's 1) editorializing, since the act isn't officially called that, 2) not what I speculated the original copy said and 3) needlessly political.

And before you tell me "gay rights aren't a political issue, human rights go beyond politics": a new law being passed by politicians is literally as political a subject as it gets.
I think this comment is a perfect example of fundamental misunderstanding, when it comes to comparing Windows to MacOS. Their goals are totally different.

Mac is a great consumer os, but it is horrible for business and continuity. They will unpredictably remove features and pull support. Just recently, apple removed support for 32 bit applications, thrre are many games and other software that have stopped working with this upgrade. They have no maintainer, in some cases companies that have produced them are gone, actual developer might have kicked the bucket. Sure, you get a sleek product.

Compare this to Windows, where you can still run 16 bit software, and i have a game released in the 1999 that still works! Microsoft supports 3 parallel UI's: WinForms, WPF and UWP. That's why the system is bloated and looks a bit like a mess.

But that's also why I can write and application that solves a problem, and be confident that it will function for a decade or more without my involvement.

Working software should not rot without a team of developers behind it, constantly sprinting just to keep up with a platform moving out from under them.

You can see this most clearly in IoT space, where every year a few services are shut down, turning thousands of perfectly functional devices into useless paperweights.

Back to your comment at hand, I largely agree, I am a bit sick of the million options avaliable in linux for every given task, I wish they was more emphasis on getting the whole shebang to work together well and refining existing solutions, rather than creating yet take on a familiar problem.
I think it's strictly true that OpenBSD doesn't do as much as FreeBSD. You may well argue that it's sufficient, but the claim isn't untrue.
You don’t need to make all native extensions fast. You need to make some of the most common things fast and keep the rest of them working. It’s fine if not all extensions adopt a JIT interface.

The thing about moving GC is a red herring. Ruby wouldn’t benefit from it. JSC doesn’t use moving GC.
> At Baology, which partners exclusively with the delivery service Caviar, owner Judy Ni says the restaurant has struggled with being listed on Doordash and Grubhub.

So you'd think Judy would have her web people make this loud and clear on the website: https://www.baology.com/menu

While it is clear that for delivery, it partners with Caviar (and no other option), maybe there should be some decently visible blurb about that partnership being exclusive, and not being involved in any manner with Doordash and Grubhub, or any provider besides Caviar.

> Sate Kampar takes to-go orders over the phone, regularly — but unknowingly — accepting Doordash orders that way. When the couriers arrive to pick up the orders and the restaurant’s listed menu prices turn out to be higher than those listed on Doordash, guests refuse to pay the correct charge. This means lost money for Sate Kampar, as well as wasted time and angry customers.

That's pretty crummy behavior! What can you try to do is is ask callers whether they are delivery agents. Also, monitor caller ID and keep a list. Always quote the correct price to whoever is calling, whether it's the consumer or a delivery agent. If there is reasonable suspicion that the person on the other end is an agent, insist on pre-payment with credit card before preparing the meal.
"The dot product is a simple yet extremely useful mathematical tool. It encodes the relationship between two vectors’ magnitudes and directions into a single value. It is useful for computing projection, reflection, lighting, and so much more."

I wish every programming and math tutorial started with a paragraph like this! So many times I get to the bottom of an article on a concept with an understanding of how to implement it, but no idea why I'd want to!
Yes, but GarageBand actually has a host of synth sounds that don’t sound like hot garbage - (in fact, they’re bloody impressive) - I think this was a bit of the author’s point.

Another point, however, is the software synth’s filesize - and indeed, GarageBand or Logic’s full instrument library can range from 5-90GB.

(Yes, you read that range right - depending on your choice of installation optionals, including loops and the recently-included ‘Alchemy’ library, you could be looking at 80GB).
Once you get some wealth you probably shouldn't be running your own investments. You will probably have someone taking care of your portfolio and giving you the bullet points every now and then.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. Non genre literature is not engaging or enjoyable? "Genre literature" is a stupid term too, it's a no true scotsman thing where anything not deemed "serious" enough gets dumped in that category.
Deno does transparent compiling and caching of TS into JS. This allows interesting behavior such as the ability to import TS files with explicit .ts extension in JS files, e.g. `import A from "https://example.com/a.ts";`
Has it become "nobody got fired for using AWS"?
That is considered active. The Smalltalk community is far smaller than other languages and web development is a small subset of that community. So you won't see nearly the frequency of commits of projects. Also, the major web frameworks are pretty stable these days so most of the action is in the integration of support for various client-side Javascript libraries. Those are often published as separate projects.
Googler, opinions are my own.

Idk about you, but the surface level value of these apps to me is the number of restaurants they deliver. Presumably they have an incentive to oversell because there’s no real remediation route when they mess up.
This gets reposted every couple years and it's still bad for all of the same reasons.

It's not higher level than C in the sense that you get any additional safety guarantees or real beneficial abstractions. If you are fine without the safety but want abstractions, use C++. If you want safety and abstractions, use Rust or Go or Zig. If you really want a transpile-to-C language, you've got Nim.

Finally, it's not good at being C; everything it does is poor practice and should be quickly recognized as such by experienced C developers, IMO. It's got no developer community and no real-world production consumers.
In the CD era a lot of people was still using 1.44Mb floppies because of convenience. Burning a disk was "midly" expensive and they could just burn it once, so they were used as bulk backups or bulk media/game sharing, such as pirated games and later, console ROMs.
I have only limited experience in the healthcare space when it comes to cloud selection, but I can tell you that every single healthcare company I work with uses Azure.

They don't do it because it may or may not be right for their needs. They pick Azure because somewhere along the line the mid- and upper-level managers, including director-level IT people, have been made to believe that anything other than Windows is insecure and not suitable for HIPAA.

If I even mention the word "Linux" or "AWS" to them they immediately curl up in a little ball mentally and treat me like I'm some kind of evil script kiddie, or magical wizard. It's truly baffling the responses I get from people who are supposed to be in charge of these things.

I don't know these people outside of boardroom presentations, so I don't know how they got this way. My best guess is that it's either Microsoft salesmen, industry conferences, or simply what they're comfortable with and anything else is not worth risking their jobs.
Call the restaurant and ask.
It’s common to use free tier as a canary deploy. Cloudflare, for instance, is quite public about this.
