I'd argue very little of what makes K and Kdb special has to do with the language per se, but with the focus on array operations, and with the particular runtime environment of Kdb (heavily focused on distributed services that logs (and can replay) operations against a columnar database with most operations in-memory).

Q to me is a tacit admission that the obtuse syntax of K is not necessary to get the benefits of K, and that K presents too steep a learning curve for most.

They're fascinating, and I think vastly underrated, but they're hard to grasp even without the syntax hurdle...

Does Doordash get damaged here? Or does the story become "all these other restaurants work when I order from Doordash, except that this one screws it up"? Because that's what people will assume.

Doordash has VC money to burn on this kind of garbage; restaurants in general already have a tough business to make work. In my mind I know who should take on the responsibility of getting this right.

Oh, I think that's just how Gkadwell is. He's much less interested in making sure the examples he's using to make a point are valid and correct than he is in using powerful examples for the sake of them being interesting themselves.

I live the series, but it became clear to me in the first season you can't rely on him to explore all aspects of something,or be unbiased. He's not presenting a thesis (as much as he loves to present his work in this fashion), he is editorializing. His threshold for how important some mitigating evidence must be to be considered is much higher than I would expect any actual news service to be, so he leaves a lot of avenues unexplored that are inconvenient to his point.

But, as I said, I love the series. I view it like talking to that friend who will come up with an idea and immediately passionately defend it, even when you suspect they aren't that tied to it, but just love arguing the point. Fun to partake, can be thought provoking, but don't expect anything to be fully thought out and explored, that's homework for you if you're inclined. :)

It’s pretty hard to trust google from where I’m standing right now. So many incentives to do the wrong thing.

HN is a highly international community. We're nowhere close to global consensus on such topics.

If you think some other post is way off base, it's best to assume good faith as the guidelines ask and reply patiently with correct information, not name-calling like "anti-western conspiracy theories". If you do the latter, there's a good chance you'll make the situation worse by increasing the distance between us instead of bridging it.

This seems like the kind of space weaponization that's in every significant geopolitical players interest to ban. Ditto with conjectures that cost-effective commercial launches makes SDI satellite missile defense viable. It's just going to encourage all the players to go all-in on ASAT, park SLBMs near each others coasts while racing to a constellation of hypersonic missiles of their own. The last thing US wants to do is encourage China / Russia to hit any spot in mainland US in 90s. Or anyone for that matter, it's way too destabilizing for all parties involved.
Tesla didn't try to block it when people did figure out the calls to talk to their car, so that's at least a good thing. They figured it out by putting the android or ios app on wifi and looking at the calls. Then from there they figured out the login token. One thing Tesla hasn't done right, you can't revoke tokens (at least it didn't seem to be possible last I looked).
With big apps Redux scales exceptionally well, and the terminology (a design pattern, really) allows devs unfamiliar with the codebase to immediately start contributing. The design also allows for middleware (and access to a vast middleware ecosystem), performant lookup, caching, and more. There's a lot more to it than global state access throughout a component tree.

All of the write ups out there about "why you don't need redux" are all right on. You typically don't. You'll know when you do, however. And it's worth preemptively diving in if planning for a large application.

For hypersonic missiles to work against ships, they require either nukes - in which case conventional ICBMs on a lower trajectory work fine - or terminal guidance, which is an absolute bitch through 3000K plasma. There's a difference between being maneuverable and maneuvering to hit a moving target, after all.

Some of the information you're expressing is important, but it breaks the HN guidelines to push truth in the flamewar style, as you're doing here. Facts don't speak for themselves; there are infinitely many facts, it's up to a human to select them, and the human voice shows up nowhere more loudly than in the facts one selects.

If you're going to post about a divisive topic that's prone to flamewar like this one, you need to do so in the spirit of the site no matter how many facts or how much truth you possess. Otherwise you just damage the container here, and increase the amount of alienation between people, which harms HN and doesn't help the world much either. The cause of the truth is only served to the extent that people can hear you. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the spirit of this site more to heart when posting here?

Most constructs in most languages are syntactic sugar + varying degrees of enforcing constraints. The core you need to e.g an object oriented system or first order functions or any other higher level construct is tiny. You can do closures in C for example (done it). But it gets ugly and unreadable and hard to follow.

Syntax matters hugely in making the expression of an idea concise and readable.

Blocks in Ruby (or Smalltalk..) for example are pretty much just syntactic sugar over closures, are just syntactic sugar over functions, but both makes a substantial difference in ease of use, which again affects how people tend to think about problems.

E.g we are much more sparing with closure like constructs in C, even though nothing prevents it, because it is tedious.
When did China ever invade the United States? Or any other distant western country?

So do lots of other apps. You can link between files. Even just plain markdown would allow you to link between files. You could just include a build step and edit MD files and read HTML.

But ROAM also allows you to reference sections. Links you create leave references at the bottom to show you which sections link to this particular page or section. That gets to be a slog with plain text.

An organ pipe, when played on low to moderate pressure and allowed to reach a steady state, generates a pure harmonic tone. There is only a single audible oscillator (either the column of air in the flue pipe, or the acoustically coupled system of the beating reed and the column of air in a reed pipe), and this oscillator is periodic, so all partials are exact integer multiple of the fundamental.

This is not true of all instruments. A string oscillates both by tension along the string and by bending across the string. The bending component becomes especially important with thick strings, so a bass guitar produces noticeably inharmonic sounds. This can make the sound more complex and interesting, but it can also result in "muddy" sounding chords. A hammered string, such as used in a piano, works the same way. Pianos traditionally compensate for this by using "stretched" tuning, i.e. going up an octave is slightly more than a doubling of a frequency. This helps the harmonics of the chords line up with the slightly sharp partials of the inharmonic tone.

Another way to avoid the inharmonicity is with bowed strings. Here the slip-stick motion of the bow resets the motion of the string every cycle, like hard sync in a chiptune. The bowed string in steady state is purely harmonic.

Tuned percussion instruments have even more oscillators interacting. A marimba bar twists and stretches along many different axis, resulting in a complex inharmonic tone. A skilled tuner can adjust the shape of the bar to bring many of the partials close to integer ratios. The same is true of bells.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inharmonicity

A pipe organ can have a noisy "chiff" at the start of the note, but whether or not this is audible depends on how the pipes are voiced. It has been considered desirable or an unacceptable fault according to the fashions of the time, so there is nothing wrong with omitting it.

It is not practical to control how far the pallets are opened by partially depressing the keys. In a mechanical action organ it takes significant force to overcome the initial air pressure, which generally makes the pallet spring all the way open. Pneumatic and electric actions don't even theoretically allow partial opening. I am not aware of any organ composition which calls for partial opening.

IMO a filtered chiptune wave, with good quality reverb, makes a excellent organ-like tone.
Thanks.

I'm getting both mixed experiences and references myself looking into this. Which is if anything more frustrating than knowing unambiguously that quoting doesn't work.

Other than the interface (which is a big "other than"), I'm trying and failing to see how this differs from a managed MediaWiki. Even most of the syntax appears to be similar.

> Why are jails better and if so why did they lose to containers?

They're better because they have actual security/isolation engineering. They lost because all people care about is having some kind of backend for orchestration systems that's capable of running Python. Even on Linux you can find all sorts of technical arguments about one form of container being better than another, but no-one actually cares beyond "does kubernetes use it as a backend? y/n".

> Why is OSS better when alsa could probably interface with one of those talking fish on the wall if you ask it nicely.

It offers a proper unixy API where you just have bytestream interfaces that you write to. You can use ordinary command line tools rather than needing a bunch of specialised programs.

> Why is ZFS any better than the Linux implementation if freeBSD is backporting the Linux version now.

There are more maintainers for ZFS on Linux - which should tell you something about how much better ZFS is than any Linux-native filesystem. The ZfsOnLinux codebase is fine, and if the licensing issues were ever resolved then one of the biggest reasons to use FreeBSD would go away.

> Why is ifconfig better than network manager when there are no drivers for half the chipsets anyway.

Because it works the way you'd expect, and stuff that works continues to work. E.g. fun story: Linux can't connect to my work VPN, because there's no way to pass a one time passcode through to a VPN login. Even though I've got the same version of OpenVPN installed on both FreeBSD and Linux, which has support for one time passcodes, on Linux that gets lost somewhere in the tightly-coupled layers in between that are necessary to have a network connection there.

> Linux is practical, and I think hate for it comes from BSD users frustrated that they dont want to learn how another kernel works but I share none of the problems BSD users often claim. Your hangup is on a distro or a filesystem but never the actual Linux kernel which it seems to me nobody bothers to learn before trashing anyway.

ZFS support is a kernel licensing issue. Jails are something that would require kernel-level support. Beyond that "Linux" is a pretty standard synecdoche for the whole OS; if there were reputable non-systemd/networkmanager/wayland distributions that would solve some of my problems, sure, but there aren't (I looked at installing Devuan but it seems to have already collapsed).
and truth be told: anders madsen has a full CS degree. So he basically took a 1-2 year private PhD-time, in which he produced 1 paper. Which is not terribly special. As for the person in question: there's money in it and if there are more aspiring people to do the grunt work (data cleaning, hyperparameter tuning) eventually prices will fall. And you definitely don't need a CS degree for that.

When engaging with hypotheticals we tend to want to ascertain whether it's inherently good or bad.

For instance, imagine a hypothetical about whether or not it's safe to shoot someone in the chest, we wouldn't say it's safe simply because they could wear a bullet-proof vest, we would have to ask 'what are the odds that they are going to be wearing a bullet-proof vest'.

Personally I would assume that in technological terms stopping aging is somewhere below being able to harvest the large amount resources in space safely and efficiently. But I could be wrong.
Then imagine the jam flowing around the blockage without stop-starts due to the automated vehicles networking and managing traffic.

I can try and take a shot at it using my Pic.Hance model
If you're routinely zeroing this much memory and the performance matters, you might benefit from idle-zeroing it. That is, when you need to zero the massive block, just switch to a different block that has already been zeroed or partly-zeroed in the background. Whatever hasn't already been zeroed, finish synchronously. The background thread doing the zeroing would be scheduled with the lowest priority, so that it only runs when the system otherwise has nothing to do.

At first, I thought you might just want to get fresh pages from the kernel (which are always zeroed), but this answer convinced me that might not actually be faster because of the overhead from syscalls and fiddling with virtual memory https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49896578/fastest-way-to-... . And Linux doesn't idle-zero or pre-zero pages (though I believe there's a switch to enable pre-zeroing for purposes of security hardening), so you're probably gonna end up with the OS doing a synchronous[1] zeroing anyway.

[1] Synchronous from when you actually first write to each page. My understanding is that when your process gets new pages, they're all mapped to a special zero-page and set to copy-on-write. So there is still some efficiency here in theory: you don't have a long wait for the entire range to be zeroed all at once and you never have to zero pages that you don't modify.
