Prevayler sounds a lot like Redis, unless I’m missing something.

I’m a big fan of Redis, but I was bitten many years ago when I tried to use it as a replacement for an RDBMS. There were two reasons for this: 1) lack of development libraries and operational tools, and 2) lack of data integrity checks.

1 has changed these days, but 2 is still very much the case (and rightly so, IMHO). Perhaps Prevayler had this?

But yep, it was fast at a time when our competition’s software was slow and clunky. It made a difference.
> Is cluster-per-app a thing people really do? Seems to defeat the purpose.

Yes it is and yes, it does.

Kubernetes has a fairly soft tenancy model, so in practice, multi-cluster is becoming a big deal, despite the cost in utilisation efficiency.

Various attempts are being made to recover the utilisation efficiencies, such as Virtual Kubelet or Project Pacific. I think that the original sin of Kubernetes was the lack of a firm, first-class, top-down, mandatory access control model of tenancy.

Disclosure: I work for VMware, which is responsible for Project Pacific.

This isn't necessarily the case.

Free range chickens will produce eggs with varying colour throughout the year.

Some consumers have been told that dark orange equates to healthy / free-range chickens -- so some farmers use colour additives to the feed to adjust the colour of the yolks.
Restaurants, outside of fast food and other large chain operation, probably average below this for various reasons (churn being a big one). I've heard that 5% is a good target.

In fact I suspect you can reasonably look at large chain operations as figuring out a way to reduce the factors that keep the average return lower than it "ought" to be...
Thankyou, this is very heartening.

Just because a single page on the internet used it does not mean the term was used in the industry. It also doesn't matter if it technically makes sense, although it's a stretch (because there is a server process, you just share it).

It's a marketing term, and a poor one at that. That's why SQLite even describes itself as a embedded, in-process database without client/server architecture. Because that's the common jargon.

I'm surprised at the endless defense of a marketing buzzword and the argument over which marketing definition is the "real" one. This is bikeshedding at its finest.
Well, with these power pass-through hubs like what the website has, you're correct.

I was thinking more of a proper dock that has its own power supply. My dock has a 150W power brick, and then it supplies 85W to my laptop. In theory, the numbers could be 165W and 100W.
Why would you check a database into source control?

Not trying to be funny, genuinely wondering.
> Very few companies have ever failed because their tech stack didn't scale well

Just out of interest, are there any clear examples where this happened, ever? Can anyone name any?

What I mean specifically is - a company with a well known product that was growing in popularity but then hit a ceiling because of technical scale issues and couldn't support any more customers, growth halted, and they couldn't fix it in time to keep the momentum going (or got overtaken by a competitor) and failed?
It's a shame to see support for Mac and Linux dropped. That means I won't be playing the game anymore. I requested a refund and it went through. I suggest others do the same before they start denying refund requests.
I’ve been to a few sushi buffets in Helsinki and I can guarantee it wasn’t surimi after googling to see what that would look like. It was almost entirely salmon and tuna.
I go by a simple rule: if I can't run it open-source or at least on my own server, it better be cheap enough for me to throw away. I have plenty of closed source smart outlets but they didn't cost more than ten dollars each. I have an Amazon Echo Dot I got for eighteen dollars on prime day. There's no way I would spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on equipment I don't really control.
Not the OP, but I find `PRAGMA synchronous = OFF` makes the creation of DBs vastly faster ...
I was taught in the Russian school system, and while it's true that main emphasis is on the eastern front, but the rest of the world is broadly represented.

> The specific technologies that developers use also impact salary. This year, the technologies most associated with high salary include Go, Scala, Redis, and React.

Surprised me seeing Scala in there, thought it was basically dead now. My last experience with seeing it in a codebase and using (or trying to use) SBT, I was kind of hoping it was.
You can’t boot off of it.
with "performance" i meant the error rate, not the speed. speed was not a criteria for us, so we didnt evaluate it.

I had a Dell 38" ultrawide that I loved, but it did not survive a cross-country move so I just replaced it with a Philips 499P9H 49" ultrawide - 5120x1440 - Really the same dimensions as two 27" monitors side by side, but without a center seam

So far, I really like it - But getting it to work at full resolution with my 2013 Mac Pro has been frustrating - It essentially cannot be done at full resolution with a single cable, unless you boot into Windows (also true for Mac Minis, but apparently newer Macbook Pros can drive it) - Despite what you may read, hacks such as SwitchResX will not help here; it's a limitation of the Mac's video card drivers that Apple seem uninterested in addressing.

The "solution", for me, has to drive it using two identical Mini Displayport->HDMI cables as if it were two screens and then have MacOS treat it as a single space. Using identical ports/cables has meant the color temperature on both halves is identical and i cannot tell it is not being driven as a single display, other than the fact the menu bar is only on one half of the screen.

Aside from that, it would be nice it were higher resolution, but the older I get, the less my eyes notice and the extra width is more useful than the DPI.
Amazing. I can never go back. Everytime I have to go back to using two monitors it's feels so awkward and unnatural. I didn't think it would have this big of an effect but being able to center windows on the screen and have equal space on the sides really helped my workflow. I'm a programmer. I also got one that is 144hz. It's so smooth. It's such a pleasure to work on. I can read text as it scrolls now! Totally worth the money if you
stare at a monitor all day.

I have a 1440p. I would think 4k would not be worth it. Also way to hard to drive

If you have a laptop just make sure it can drive it. And that you have the proper cable. Mine was finicky until I got the proper 8k dp cable.

Because most "smart tech" isn't actually smart, it's regular tech that offshores processing to a networked super-computer.

The Star Trek tricorder, that can do with a handheld device what would take an entire lab, is smart tech. But that requires lots of research and wouldn't lend itself to a subscription-based or planned-obsolescence business model even if we could build it. :P
Technological limits my fucking ass. Sonos is lying through their teeth and the author believes them. And who cares about updates? I bought sonos because they can play the music collection on my nas, are wireless, and sound great. I could shut off their internet access and they'd still work just fine. As far as what features sonos is adding that would require updates... none. No useful ones anyway. The eq is still two band. It still plays music. Maybe a new service here or there that no one cares about. I'm only talking about speakers of course. Their surveillance devices I have no interest in.
> This point is much easier to sustain if the speaker grew up speaking English, but the majority of scientists working today are actually not native English speakers. When you consider the time spent by them on language-learning, the English-language conquest is not more efficient than polyglot science – it is just differently inefficient. There’s still a lot of language‑learning and translation going on, it’s just not happening in the United Kingdom, or Australia, or the United States. The bump under the rug has been moved, not smoothed out.

That's not true, and this is why you see hub-and-spoke models everywhere. Even if no one spoke the language natively (like, oh say, Latin?), it would still be efficient to have a single standard language so you only have to learn 1 rather than _n_. In the polyglot scenario, you still have to learn (at least) another language, but now each additional language only unlocks 1/n% instead of 'all of it'...
I'll save everybody the trouble:

Curmudgeon likes his 50 year old speaker more than that new fangled tech stuff. Then rants about tech being in our lives too much. (I could only skim it as so boring and repetitive - already read this story too 1000 times).

Smart tech has issues around support, but it is so damn useful. I thought little of it until I started moving everything to it. It also has a network effect - the more you add the more useful it gets.

When I walk away from my building my the thermostat goes down, door deadbolts, lights go down, music and TV all go off etc. Pry it from my cold dead hands.

I'm not sure what you mean "data fields within markdown".

You could definitely use markdown within fields of a recfile. There would be some multi-line syntax you wouldn't be able to use, because it would conflict (e.g. '+' unordered lists), but other than that you could mark up text with Markdown, no worries.

> If nobody can truly understand the EU how can you hold anyone or anything accountable? You've just made half of the sovereignty argument for me.

Hmm that's not really what I wrote: the decision was about leaving the EU, so the not understanding part referred to "leaving the EU", not to the EU itself. You are still at square one, argument-wise.

As for Scotland, everyone knows that countries that want to join has to comply with common rules. Other countries had to go through the same problems. If they want to comply, I am sure they will find a way. When that happens, they will be welcome back in the EU.
You just have to start the conversation with "my last exit was $100m".
Ask HN: Can anybody recommend a website creator for a novice
I have a friend who wants to create a website for his new business. It basically needs to be just the equivalent of a business card. i.e. some info about the business and contact info.

Could anybody recommend a tool to do this with minimal effort.
I wonder why that's okay for farmers to do? Let people believe that the color of the yolk is a tell for health and purchase eggs from companies they believe to have good eggs. (To my knowledge, just one example, a lot of the egg yolks I've seen from Japan are typically very orange and are said to be high quality). These farmers using color additives are in effect fooling customers and are presenting a product that isn't what it appears to be.
How does it compare with domestic production?

It is very unlikely a E2E toolkit can outperform kaldi if they're trained on the same data.

Also I suspect these guys aren't using the latest kaldi architectures.
As mentioned in one of the above articles, that was a modern liberal punishment. They used to BOIL forgers.
Ask HN: How do you implement visitor-to-signup tracking in your app?
This is surprisingly difficult to solve in 2020. The biggest issue is (in Google Analytics) how to separate traffic that could potentially sign up for a trial vs. traffic from people who’ve already signed up.

Here’s one way to do it:

1. When someone logs in to your app set a cookie

2. If they visit your homepage later check for cookie

3. If cookie exists put them in a Google Analytics segment called eg “existing users”

4. Create view in GA that excludes users in “existing users” segment. View Trial signups goal in this view.

It seems like this should be simpler. If there are other approaches that work I’d love to hear them!
This is the first time I'm hearing that it was a hoax from the start. I've heard this study referenced more times than I can count in discussions on mental illness and mental hospitals. Could it really be that it was complete horseshit?
>I have to fix this guys bugs, and ACTUALLY do the technical leading myself

sounds like he is quite brilliant after all
It happens all the time. When it does, though, the narrative is usually "scrappy upstart takes over" and not "segment leader fossilizes".
from my experience, when trained with the same data, kaldi is slightly better and with custom recipes adaptable to changing conditions.
deepspeech has way better documentation and is more developer friendly.
wav2letter seems to be the quickest.
i guess there is no real winner here ... depends what criteria are applied.

just an example, kaldi is a weird mixture of c++, python2, python3, shell scripts, java, perl. hard to oversee. deepspeech is python. wav2letter is an exe file.
"we own everything you do" -- is not the same as "every other company" .. flatly false

"You are at the whim of legal (dept)" -- true

numerous teams contributing to OSS -- true, like LLVM ; how many software engineers work at Apple?

"training is very OSS hostile" -- true

software patents -- lets talk about that later

plagiarizing OSS -- certainly a serious concern on both sides of this chat

very allergic to GPLv3, .. AGPL -- why is that? surely the rules of GPL, by the third version, are pretty well understood.. Apple Inc benefits quite a bit from say, the Internet ..

Thank you for this reply -- I believe that this factual parent response does address each point, but in a voice that makes it sound like it is all ok and expected. But you see, its not all ok and not all expected.

How much money is enough money, Apple Inc ? What is the world we are creating here?
Yes, I have been doing same thing, only with LMDB.

I do not think LMDB could load from in-memory only object (as it has to have file to memory-map to), however.

But same design reasons, I wanted something that

a) I can move across host architectures

b) something that can act as key-val cache, as soon as the processes using it are restarted (so no cache hydrating delay)

c) something that I can diff/archive/restore/modify in place

We tested sqllite for the above purpose at the time, and writing speed and ( b ) - lmdb was significantly faster.

So we lost the flexibility of SQLite, but I felt it was a reasonable tradeoff, given our needs.

I also know that one of the Intel's python toolkits for image recognition/ai, uses LMDB (optionally) store images that processing routines do not have incur the cost of directory lookups when touching millions of small images.
(forgot the name of the toolkit though)…

Overall, this a very valid practice/pattern in data processing pipelines, kudos to you for mentioning it.
Buffets are making money on impatient customers who are piling up on fries and mac-n-cheese and other super cheap "fillers" and junk foods before discovering and allocating space for more delicious and expensive dishes that are typically placed at the far end of a food isles.

This way they compensate the losses caused by my visit.
I don't touch any food until i do complete walkaround and learn about everything they have to offer.

Then i typically pigout on lobster legs, tenderloin cuts, fish-rich sushi and other high end proteins, carefully avoiding any cheaper "fillers". My visit to buffet would cost me the equivalent of ~$200 visit in a-la-carte restaurant.
Any as an option?

> BAE Systems and Redrow Homes now have a plan – they want to clean up this entire massive site, and build a housing estate. This is receiving a lot of local opposition, not least because the preferred method of cleaning up 2000+ buildings full of explosve residue is by burning them.

They seem to have got the go-ahead to build houses, judging from the number of houses that appear on Google Maps satellite images dated 2020 but not on streetview images dated 2012 [1]

[1] https://www.google.com/maps/place/55%C2%B054'03.6%22N+4%C2%B...
Nobody was saying it was a buzzword in the industry back then (actually...[1]). It was being used as a normal English word, not some misleading marketing drivel like the new use of the term. Somebody who has no shirt is shirtless. An MRE heater that doesn't catch fire is flameless. Somebody who isn't witty is witless. Somebody who doesn't have a clue is clueless.

Are you starting to notice the pattern here? "less" is a suffix that can be applied to nearly any noun to describe the trait of lacking that noun. When this is done, the meaning is clear to native English speakers who've never heard that combination before. When this article was written in 2007, the meaning was clear. SQLite didn't muddy anything, didn't redefine anything.

[1] The term 'serverless' was in fact in use in the decade and a half prior to 2007: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=serverless&yea... I don't know if the term was being used primarily in a technical context, but I have little doubt the term was being used to describe something that did not have a server. In fact I'm just about certain that spike was the term being used in a tech context. I've found you an example of the term being used in 1995 (DOI 10.1145/224057.224066):

> A serverless network file system distributes storage, cache, and control over cooperating workstations. This approach contrasts with traditional file systems such as Netware, NFS, [...] where a central server machine provides all file system services.

This is not precisely the same way that SQLite has used the term. Rather, they're using the term in an intuitive natural way that fits their context, just as SQLite used it in 2007.

Here is an example from 2007 (DOI: 10.1109/TNET.2006.886289):

> Abstract—We explore exploits possible for cheating in real-time, multiplayer games for both client-server and serverless architectures.

Here we have the term "serverless" clearly being contrasted with "client-server", which seems very similar to the way in which that SQLite document used it.
Per the article above, Oxford’s homicide rate is believed to have been _one hundred times_ higher than today (though this was exceptional; normal rate was moe like 10x higher). Not really great evidence for the ol’ state-sanctioned murder.
The whole damn thing. I’m self taught web developer, server management, backend stuff. I love a Rest over HTTP API. X Code and all the sims do not jive with my brain. Swift helped a bit. But only ever able to build a bouncing ball game. The process of launching on an app store alone seems insane. I started by FTP and Perl then PHP. I pay people to write code these days.
Are partial derivatives the computational primitives of deep neural networks?
Ahh gotcha. Yes I got rather poor "hit rate" until I made my own language model.

Fortunately for me I only needed it for command recognition, so the process was quite quick, and results were very good. No need to retrain the net.

>There is no scenario where Nazi Germany gets defeated without the US supplies and invasion and the USSR leadership openly admitted exactly that privately.

Without the USSR involved in the war, US supplies would be unable to help stop the Germans and the German forces would not be spread thin enough for an invasion to be feasible. Both were necessary, but the Soviets gave up much more to secure the victory.
A large part of the advantage of Starlink is that (thanks to SpaceX launch costs) it might genuinely cost more money to destroy than it did to launch. This makes it far harder to deny its use to the US military in times of conflict.

(SpaceX has claimed the cost to build and launch a single Starlink satellite is already under $500,000)
