Same boat. For about two years I used it to have groceries delivered via Prime Now. The nuances of dried out vs oily coffee beans and greens were enough to not forgo in-person altogether. Haven’t missed my subscription in ~3 years.

Big picture, let’s hope I don’t need anything enough for one or two day delivery. Happy with regular delivery.

Sorry if my wording was confusing; when I wrote "They start dating" I meant to imply a romantic relationship and not friends or roommates.

I didn't mean to conflate the two, but my writing was meant to ask the earlier commenter to label or identify what they thought of the behaviours mentioned. That's a mark on my writing if the reader inferred the scenario as roommates.
It takes time to build the kind of self confidence and humility it takes to allow a code base to sprawl for a while until you've seen enough examples to have an idea where it's going.

The first thing I like to do is solve the problem, period. Without inventing anything, just simply write code to cover most cases. Then I'll start improving on it in small ways, cutting down on duplication and inventing abstractions; until I reach a tipping point where I can visualize a complete design, which results in a major refactoring.

It looks messy in comparison to so called best practices, but it's faster and the code that comes out of the process is clearly better.

DRY is hurting more than helping if you ask me; because it shames inexperienced developers into premature abstraction, causing plenty of pain and misery along the way.

Hm, not sure, maybe this differs from doctor to doctor. To be honest, I was also suprised when she told me that as she lives in a rather rural area and not some big town. But at least that hospital/doctors seem to be really up to date with their tech.
Same thought here. I have been toying with the idea of building something OSS so that people could run it themselves, for this reason.

(Also I have what is possibly a common filtering case in the US that would eliminate 95% of my spam calls without blocking any relevant calls from "new" numbers. And for whatever reason, I have not seen it implemented anywhere yet.)
I want to say that I am continually impressed at your long-term vision and commitment you have taken to the Oil project. Your posts are a treat to read, and the care you have given to the problem is appreciated. We need to stop paving cow-paths, and discard historical baggage if we are ever going to build robust systems.
Does Little Snitch work as a kernel extension? I use Lulu but it really screws with Virtualbox and generally can really stress kernel if you try to do something very network intensive. Would love to find better alternative, ideally free.
While it gets discounted every year by people who don't believe the Doomsday Clock holds any significance in the real world, it captures our attention enough that there was even an epic heavy metal song about it in the mid-80's.

Those kinds of articles are always written by people who don't care much about cars in general. Sure, buy within your means, and sure, some people only buy expensive cars as a status symbol.
There are however some somewhat pricey cars that are a blast to drive (mostly legally) and totally worth the money if that brings you joy.

Meanwhile if you're fine with putting around in your Toyota, then just do so. And write articles about how it's the same thing as driving a Porsche but cheaper. Puke.
Aliexpress, 50% of Amazon come from there (Alibaba dropshipping).
I liked the OA but it doesn’t surprise me at all that they had a hard time finding a large enough audience.

While not strictly a Netflix show (international distribution only I think) it is unfortunate that Travelers got canceled which I think should have been able to find a decent sized audience.
I am sure that's true, but as a Keybase user there was a lot of communication surrounding the drop directly from Keybase.
They used to be $3 - $4 dollar per cable, but price has gone down since then. ( That is why Lightning cable are cheaper than they were used to ) But that money is actually the connector itself and the controlling chip. So it isn't really $3- $4 of pure profits.
> A large-scale non-nuclear war (is that even possible) in modern times would be pretty nasty

I’m not clear where the boundary is between “war” and other events involving large numbers of deliberate fatalities where the goals involve changing governance or borders.

That said, considering recent tech developments and looking at the cost of each part separately, I won’t be surprised if the next decade gives us a genocidal conspiracy where a hundred people kill a million with self-made remote controlled or autonomous weapons.

One example where CT helped me.
Well this was a false memory I may now remember as false.
No, it wasn't tenths. I think more likely it had to do with the claw at the start of the tape for attaching to your starting point, which does not stay at a rigid 90 degrees. My memory is that over several tens of feet I was off by 1/8 inch.
More cash in advance spares the time needed for mechanics, mechatronics & software DIY hassle... which on the other hand are the most formative activities to learn robotics for real.
Is this an alternative to ros?
I think you'd need to replace the diamond / expensive jewelry thing with something that appeals to the younger generation. I am not in that generation so I am not sure what that would be, but here is an idea.

The diamond idea is based on having something that resembles luxury, like yachts and expensive champagne. It was initial marketed on the idea that you only love someone if you sacrifice your salary for a month or two to buy a ring. We can keep that concept (because that'll be tough to change) but shift the object:

Somehow we want to make all that kind of stuff look morally disgusting, i.e. private jets with CO2 emissions that help kill the planet and people with floods and fires, and rich snobs spending money on pearls when they could be donating to charity. Another 2008 crisis which will happen like clockwork would be a great wave to surf for getting momentum behind the idea. More homeless middle class and rich bankers will make people angry.

The idea is to make luxury and opulence (but not necessary money) seem bad to the middle class, in the same way as advocating slavery would seem bad.

Then the replacement could be a donation to the charity that the receiver of the engagement ring chooses. The ring could be a simple 18ct gold band or gold plated. It could be 3D printed from an unusual material. Doesn't matter that it costs $50 or whatever, it's now just a symbol, it could have imprinted on it the cause that was donated to.

The $10M would be spent on seed funding for a company to sell this kind of product, because then it's profits can be reinvested in marketing it further, rather than the "1 superbowl ad" that someone else mentioned in jest.
Writing questions about it on Hacker News has been goddamn hardy!

Couple of techniques;

Per-record keys where the key can be deleted (this is a hard delete as your system can no longer access the data).

Keep "sensitive" info out of messages (credit card stuff, PII, secrets?, whatever), events have pointers to a store just for this. All code that accesses sensitive data has to have guards in case the lookup fails.

Deletion is really interesting and forces its way into your domain. For example you might be in a position where you have to delete all info about someone except their payments because AML forces you to keep those for X years.
Great write up, I especially liked the section of Contrastive Predictive Coding, I think that's going to be the next iteration of ML.
I built a whitelisting phone system for my aging dad with Twilio, an OBi200 VoIP adapter, and gcloud for transcribing untrusted calls sent to voicemail.

(US specific) If you think the aggressive IRS and Sheriff scams are bad -- you've committed a crime only $100 _right now_ will solve! -- the shakedowns targeting enfeebled senior citizens are truly sinister.

Which is to say, people who care for seniors (children of, part time caregivers, etc) are an unserved audience for tools like yours. I would have paid for one had it existed.
Just to mention, when I added the embedding I was getting a 404 error. Not sure if it is supposed to work or not without a subscription;)
AMC on the other hand seems to take the opposite approach, at times stretching a series out for seasons after it has run out of energy and material. Wonder if the difference in the approaches is due to differences in the subscription versus advertising revenue models.
Also, any Dockerfile that downloads something that might be updated (especially package managers, but also any wget/curl/... that doesn't check against a hardcoded hash) isn't reproducible at all.

I used to coach a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Team for my son's high school. The main Robotics competition for middle/high schools are based on the FTC Pitsco TETRIX, FRC AndyMark, VEX Robotics Platforms.

You can find the majority of hardware and electronics you need for basic robotics from the following sites:

https://www.pitsco.com/

https://www.vexrobotics.com/

https://www.andymark.com/

http://www.revrobotics.com/

https://www.servocity.com/actobotics

The high costs come into play when you have to deal with high precision servos with high torque. The Trossen Robotics site gives you an example of high precision servos and pricing.

https://www.trossenrobotics.com/

You can find cheaper robotics options at the following site

https://www.robotshop.com/

When you run a team you start with a budget in the low Ks and build out the equipment inventory over several years. There is high attrition in many of the electronic parts (Servos, Controllers, Sensors) when you compete.

Building basic robots is not complex. Basic navigation using techniques such as dead reconing, etc are not complicated. What is complex is advanced software techniques for navigation, motion planning, etc which rely on some complex math.

Have Fun!

"To serialize logic, we would just need to represent the AST in a lisp-like syntax". Why not use Hy (http://hylang.org) and keep your Django.
I don’t understand what problem this solves except for snipers

Mount this system on a relatively small, silent drone. (There's two more problems to solve, right there, however.) That would be relevant to outdoor recon.

This device would not have helped me getting ambushed within 100yards or being the first guy in the door on a raid.

People often post follow-up submissions like this. It's not the greatest thing, because it splits discussions and adds repetition to the story feed. It's better to link to a related article from the original discussion.
Lua is also a much more consistent JavaScript, and that is usually what makes it that much better.
the question with many databases using rotational based storage engines is not how much you want to store, but how much you want to query. Couch requires 99% cache hit rates for queries, they tell you to add memory if you are lower. which really makes it an in memory database with a disk based backing store, suitable for modest data sizes. i have also never seen a positive jepsen test, so i believe it is known to lose data in split brain modes.
This is entirely true. I’d much rather pay 5% more in taxes and have Medicare for all rather than the current system (although Canada/rest of the commonwealth actually spend less per capita with a longer life expectancy), where healthcare pricing is almost entirely opaque. So cool you work at your favorite FANG making 200k/yr + 50k in RSU, but what happens when you get cancer in 2 yrs and they lay you off? Maybe you get unemployment for a year? Then you have to apply for Medicaid and how you don’t die while also losing your house. Your partner/spouse may also lose your healthcare coverage.
I don't know about process substitution, but Dart makes connecting processes together pretty easy and you can do way more fancy things than Bash let's you do, in a clean fast language with basically no gotchas.

"Use Popular Tools", "Old Doesn't Mean Gold" and "Use The Right Tool" are all kind of contradictory. "Cool" and "popular" are usually correlated. "Old" might correlate inversely with "cool" but directly with the ease of finding plugins, Stack Overflow issues and blog posts.

IMO, the criteria to use when evaluating a tool are 1) cost of building it yourself, 2) how well you know the tool, 3) how big the community is, and 4) how well the tool fits the job.

His initial post said the "team" doesn't understand it so I took it to encompass "him" as part of the team. My post is in response to that.

Clearly his subsequent post says he does understand CT so I'm in error on that part.

Either way the "team" not understanding it, does not preclude it from being right. CT does not overcomplicate things. It just allows you to understand a program differently so you can decompose your program into smaller pieces or take a different path.

Saying CT complicates things is like saying number theory complicates numbers. Number theory is numbers and CT looks very much like a good theoretical framework for program organization. In other words CT looks like a formal theory for the design of programs.

We aren't at a spot where we can concretely say this, but practitioners of CT and programming are enamored with CT because it looks this way.

Overall, his complaints point to a lack of understanding despite his claim.
Ask HN: Will Google Discontinue Golang?
I actually invested some time a while back in building a nicer API for C# to invoke shell commands and process the results. The only downside IMO is the Rx library dependency for STDOUT/STDERR; I personally try to avoid depending on libraries which themselves have extra dependencies.

Since I did this at work it belongs to my employer, so I can't currently publish it freely, but it's not part of our core product so they may be open to publishing it under MIT licence or similar at some stage.

So it can be done, and has been done, but I guess most people are sufficiently happy with Powershell, Python, etc to not bother bridging the gap for C# too.

Specifically for the music artist, there was nothing wrong until my mid-to-late 30s. Both myself and the musician artist in question are similar in age.

Regarding common mis-spelling, that has been as issue for decades. It is a regular deal of "that's an 'e', not a 'o'".

I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm a car fanatic, but also somewhat 'frugal'.

My last car was a 2004 STi, I bought it new and drove it over 14 years. Good car. I sold it for a 10-year old (2008) Lexus IS F. Both good enthusiast cars, the Lexus had low miles, so I'm hoping to get quite a few good years out of it, too.
that's not how competition works. when there is competition, the customer usually wins.

1. I dont think you understand Apple's business and supply chain really well, due to theirs sheer scale, they do count pennies.

2. There are roughly 1.5 billion devices with Lighting Port, if only 10% of its user buy a new cable every year at $1 net profits that is $150M per year. Not to mention they ship 250M lightning cables inside new devices every year that could be used to mask their BOM and margin. From Apple's perspective, that is a 400M profits per year business.
the innovation has happened at cloud database projects. dynamo, redshift, cosmos, big query, etc. they don't publish their code, but there is plenty happening under the covers. at this point, i think anyone who acquires machines and installs software has a desire for pain, and isn't making a sensible business trade off - unless you are an infrastructure company or are operating at high scale.
I guess 150m people value their time more highly than you :)
Technology that can help you de-stress; a bunch of cool, relaxing sites
That's how I thought of it when I was studying leetcode, and that's the advice I give to other people when they ask how I got my job. Each leetcode solution was another tool in my toolbox. The more tools you have, the easier it will be to put two things together for a larger solution, or to modify a tool to fit a new problem.

I understand the resistance to flash cards as rote memorization without being able to build upon them, I think that's a cogent criticism. At the same time I think some people will be able to take advantage of this to build their toolbox.

And as a minor note, I personally love when people can name an algorithm or concept. There was one interview that I think I completely failed, but I was able to name (but not write out) a concept. I actually incorrectly name dropped Hamming distance, when it was actually the Levenshtein distance, but I was able to diagram the concept behind it. I passed that interview (to my tremendous surprise), and I think the name drop and the simple diagram helped.
I gave you some extra upvotes on your past comments because I think these unexplained downvotes are despicable too.
I really think that for instance on a piece of investigative journalism whose the main author would be a journalist from say wapo, I've hard time thinking this person would decline an invitation to speak about and promote his/her article.
That is superb. What you're really saying is that 80% of your customers no longer feel the need to phone you.
Decapping requires dissolving the plastic with acid. Attacking the chip from there is typically done in a Focused Ion Beam workstation (about $500k), and the risk of destroying the chip depends on too many factors. Some chips have photosensitive elements that generate just enough voltage to wipe their memory if they're exposed to light via decapping.

The point is that by restricting your scenario to "a romantic relationship and not friends or roommates", you're already going way beyond the identification of 'behaviors', and deep into what some people might call ideology. Unless you specifically look at what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, the behaviors involved in "dating" vs. "hanging out" are pretty much indistinguishable. And LGBT+ folks are very much a minority, so "roommates" is going to be the typical case by a large margin.

> I like the idea of having a state and resolving differences between desired and actual state, but not enough to rewrite everything in HCL.

i authored https://get-kapp.io based on my previous experiences managing iaas resources as cattle. it strongly revolves around idea of managing chnageset between actual and desired configuration.

it was also built as a tool that solely focuses on deployment to k8s, leaving configuration building (ie templating) to other tools.

take a look at it, would love to hear what you think.

on a side note, someone recently asked me to also wrap kapp as a terraform provider: https://github.com/k14s/terraform-provider-k14s
What new tactics would become viable if a soldier of average ability could reliably hit a target at 1000 yards?

Basically this has been the pipe dream of all armies, once bolt action rifles matured, and all the way up through WWII.

If you don't, you're as useful as a battleship in WWII (not very).

Capital ships like Carriers can't be everywhere at once, and there were a lot of WWII engagements involving cruisers, destroyers, and smaller craft. So, what is the difference between a cruiser and a battleship? Basically scale.

This "guaranteed hit" tech basically tries to solve the trigger pull and flinch problems. It might be quite useful if it could be scaled down to handgun size in a red-dot like form factor.

Yes, given the pooled bins for items sold from different sellers, I just don’t trust Amazon not to provide a counterfeit item.
It takes more time out of my day to file for returns, package and ship my returns and try to figure out why my hardware failed due to poor quality Amazon branded products than it is to go with another retailer.

Trying to ascertain whether or not reviews I see on Amazon are legit, or are even for the same product as the product they're listed under, are significant time wasters, too.
As I stated above, if scaled down to the size of a pistol, this could be a solution to the trigger pull and shooter-flinch problems. This could make lightly trained handgun users an order of magnitude more effective.

I don't think it's wrong to critique a radio/podcast personality on their cadence. It's a part of the act, and it's something most pros work on and do intentionally. A lot of sportscasters talk about this (on podcasts and TV, ironically) - they put on a voice like an actor puts on a character.

I just don't care for Michael Barbaro's chosen vocal persona and find it distracting. But he's doing a good job with his show, so some people must like it.

In a similar vein I really like Terry Gross and Joe Buck but a lot of people disagree with me on both those counts.
