Millennials are increasingly staying in urban areas, not having as many kids (or kids at all), and not moving to the suburbs in the same rate as Boomers did. This is a well documented phenomenon.

I bought a high sierra "camelbak" type water pack for $25. I actually told someone I got it for a steal at $30 because I forgot what it cost. By the time my girlfriend went back they were gone - same thing at Amazon was over $40.

While I hate that you basically have to make an on-the-spot decision, they absolutely crush it on quality and price 9 times out of 10.

This is obviously what any sensible and thoughtful manager aspires to, and yet it is still so rare. Are there tradeoffs we aren't considering? Why is this such a self-evident ideal, yet rarely achieved in practice? There must be good reasons..
My wife and I, along with our toddler, absolutely LOVE going on "Costco dates" (ahhh the romance). Two slices of pizza, a hot dog and a drink, and if we're feeling spicy, one of their acai bowls, all for 11 dollars.

Doesn't get better than that.

The absolute key is to eat BEFORE you shop, because otherwise you end up with at least 30% more food that you probably wouldn't get if you weren't hungry.
If they built their app differently, such as using a temporary directory rather than building it in tree in the release path, they could've used staged builds to cache their steps in docker. What they do get from Nix package management is freedom from dependency hell.

Actually, I prefer habitat (hab) for portable Linux packaging because it supports a crazy amount of caching, it does GC on unneeded packages, it has an internet-visible package repo to publish to and has a simple DSL that I can teach to anyone. I don't use its other features that much, and I don't use it on FreeBSD but I use hab studio on macOS now and then.

Nix is pretty awesome because it almost marries package management and configuration management... if you think about it, the definition of a conventional OS package is an arbitrary one that limits configurability and customization. Gentoo, Arch and others try to work around it, but you really can't unless you can drive and hook intelligently into specification language that built the package and can accept modifications at different points without a lot of kludgy hacks or forks. Furthermore, the conventional package paradigm assumes one version and one configuration for everything, unless you want to get messy with variant packages. Nix and hab solve these issues.

The problem is I can't suggest it in a lot of usage contexts because it would be like if I recommended Rust, Elixir or Haskell to a PHP shop. ;) I really want to but I know it's probably not a good idea. Nix is awesome wherever the badassometer says "above average." Give it a try, but use what works best.

Sort of, yes. I think they’re owned by the same holding company as Bank of the Wichita’s.

When I applied for a mortgage a few years ago, I was asked to provide some bank statements. The underwriter saw the letterhead from Redneck Bank and told me the underwriting process is no joke and asked for real non photoshopped statements. After some convincing we finally closed a few weeks later.
You're right that in general an AOT compiler cannot solve this problem. Swift does specialize generic functions within a module. Across module boundaries, you can declare a function with the `@inlinable` attribute, which makes its body available as part of the module's binary interface. Of course this hinders future evolution of the function -- you can swap in a more efficient implementation of an algorithm for instance, but you have to contend with existing binaries that compiled an older version of the function.

The standard library makes extensive use of `@inlinable` for algorithms on generic collection protocols and so on.

The initial English translations of Verne _were_ considerably bowdlerized, sometimes with large chunks cut out or summarized in the interests of making them more "kids books" than adult ones.

I unicycled 1100 miles with a group through Europe (2001) and again about 500 miles in northern Norway (2003) with mostly the same group. Both were incredible experiences and a unicycle is actually a fun way to tour since you’re upright and able to look around, use a camera, dig things out of other riders’ backpacks, ride in close formation and hold a conversation easily. I tried to look up the website just now, but it’s gone. However, here’s the Norway trip on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20060622062249/http://www.unitou....

Edit: on both trips we had a support vehicle carry much of our luggage. I really admire Ed for fully self-supporting — it definitely adds a lot to the challenge especially since most of the equipment to carry it is custom.

The real nice thing about Costco is that when I see something I like, I know that it is of decent quality at a decent price. This saves me from having to do research on my own.

Can you explain this just a bit more, please?

I was just reading the two articles you linked today, and your comment seems there is some piece of insight that's missing.

If you search the multi-stage build article for "cache" the only hits are related to not using cache.

What should I do if I want to leverage the cache as much as possible in a multi stage build?

I did a section of the PCH too (northward starting at San Francisco). As pretty as it was, it was not my favorite place to ride a bike. No shoulder, winding road, zero visibility... it felt like I was taking my life in my hands every time I approached a curve.
it is better. N9/Meego was designed with those gestures as the main navigation of the OS. So it somehow feel intuitive and natural to use it. In comparison the Android gesture is nice, buts its just a nice extra imo.

I would probably still use N9 as my 2nd phone if its not broken.
I tool the plunge and converted to Linux a few years ago after MacOS forever. Sometimes it's frustrating, but most of that frustration is over minor conveniences. I like MacOS just fine, but just can't. Stand. Windows.

It really helped to get more than superficial knowledge about how Linux works--especially the filesystem and the why of things like config files. That made life more pleasant.

And though I did this for several reasons, it was mainly because of the ethos of open source/libre and the old school repairability of ThinkPads, which are the only laptops I use now. I grew tired of premium-priced Macbooks that were basically sealed units.
Ok,

1) Are you comparing equivalent quality meats? It's easy to find crap quality meat near its expiration date for cheaper than Costco deli price. It's pretty hard to find equivalent high quality fresh meat at the same price point without a bunch of coupons or random sales.

2) I'm not sure why you think the store design is horrific. Maybe it's particular to your local Costco, but I've been to at least 15 locations and they're all laid out pretty neutrally with logical aisles and departments. If you know what you want, you can go straight to it as quickly as you can navigate oblivious people pushing their carts at grandma-with-a-walker pace.

3) You're right - items do go in and out of stock because of the whole Costco business model. They arrange for preferential pricing on a contractual basis to get members deals they won't find elsewhere. Sometimes the supplier decides not to renew the contract or Costco decides the shelf space is better used for something else. That's just how it works. If you find a product you like, you can always order it in bulk online when Costco doesn't have it anymore. If you're only going to Costco for one or two items you like, the membership isn't for you.

I recall an NPR story that touched on costco (I think it was a how I built this episode on trampolines, but I'm not certain). When they pick a company to work with, they apparently send people in not just to inspect them for quality, but to help them be more efficient. They apparently do this not to make more money, but just so they can pass the savings on to the consumer.
Sorry, I don't mean for this to come across as playing down your post; you're right that "profoundness" is completely subjective and there's no use in me saying "it's not that profound", for that I apologize.

I enjoyed your post quite a bit, especially how far you went in order to get concrete results that back up the theory. Thank you for going through the effort of writing this post and educating others on your findings. :)
I've always been interested in techniques to try to minimize parameters or alternate approaches to learning. Meanwhile, state of the art is over here just finding clever ways to make everything bigger. I have a feeling we're going to end up with a very different landscape in 5-10 years, much like the automotive industry never started mass producing inline 12s and instead moved to turbos and superchargers.
> 5 second page load is not fine.

That analysis is from 10 years ago. Again, the landscape is different and spending time on this is a borderline foolish discussion (interesting from a technical perspective). It matters if you are the owners of a business, in the mass-retail space. Save yourself the time, add to your features or verticals.

Yes, 5s is still fine.

Serious question: are they also diligent about firing people who don't pull their weight? The mantra is fantastic, but my experience has been it gets taken advantage of pretty quickly if you don't have a feedback loop to make sure you really did hire good people.
It's discontinuous.
It's obvious what the post implied... that the changes are gradual and continuous.
The downside if there's something you're not sure you're going to like. You risk committing to buying a large amount of something and not liking it.
For Ikea, simply open website, find product, look at aisle number, walk to aisle in warehouse. Done. They also have a consistent selection of products available. If you've done the tour in the past year, chances are you already know the product you're looking for and chances are they'll have it in stock.

Ikea actually minimizes it if you know what you're looking for. Try doing that at Costco where they re-arrange the store just to make you have to look at things you didn't intend on buying. This practice has been the subject of many articles even:

Yeah, Nix (or Guix) is kind of Docker Done Right.
> The entire concept is optimized for upper middle class suburban families with cars. Once millennials age into middle age over the coming decades, will they have kids in the same numbers as their parents (data says no) and thus need or want to buy in bulk? Will they live primarily in the suburbs where warehouses are primarily located? Will they have cars to even get there? Will they want to pay for a membership when they already have Amazon or wide availability of other stores that deliver for free?

My girlfriend and I are millenials with no children. We still have a Costco membership. Hell, I had a Costco membership before I met her, when I lived alone. I buy all my gas at Costco, and the savings alone from that usually equal or exceed the $60 membership dues by the end of the year, so everything else is pretty much gravy.
The article appears to have been written in 2018, and just published recently. From the Discussion section:

> SciPy has a strong developer community and a massive user base. GitHub traffic metrics report roughly 20,000 unique visitors to the source website between 14 May 2018 and 27 May 2018 (near the time of writing)

SciPy 1.0 was released towards the end of 2017, so that timing makes sense for a 1.0 retrospective. Not sure why it took so long to get published.

Because it took half a year for the paper to get accepted. You can see that the manuscript was sent to Nature Methods on July 28, 2019.
You compute S(1, M-1) and S(M, N) instead and compose them. That's it. This is not complicated stuff.
That's fair. I think what I work on is infinitely more important even though it's a piece of a larger puzzle given how rapidly we're adding to the bottom line (just look at the last earnings call - ). But those are the people that are still negotiating compensation packages of hundreds of thousands more than me, and seem to get everything through life, from Harker to Stanford to Google/Stripe to YC W20, etc.

I'd rather be like them than be considered a "blue collar engineer" as I currently am considered by my peers.

Yes, the template generated sql would bring some overhead. But it's the cost for flexibility: The target table would not be limited to base table. It could be a view, a foreign table, partitioned table, or citus distributed table. And, it also support table name mapping.

NOT washing hands is important too. Letting a little bit of bacteria into your body strengthens the immune system. It is important to sometimes let your kids pick up food from the floor and eat it.
I am not a Costco member for a few reasons.

The biggest one is that the parking lots at the nearby ones are CRAZY. Always packed, and even worse on weekends. They are so bad, in fact, that I even avoid the streets NEAR the Costco, because they back up. And I live in Los Angeles, where I expect bad parking and traffic... this is another level.

Also, I am just getting so used to ordering everything online. We get all our household items via amazon subscriptions (toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, etc)... so nice not having to ever think about those things and they just show up when we need them. I can't see myself going back to shopping at stores myself for those things.
Nothing wrong with that - $1.50 for a hot dog with a la carte garnishes and a large drink? The value is nearly unbeatable.

> Most fiber optic cable has a melting point of 70C

This seems very unlikely, or at least unlikely to be relevant. The type of fiber optic cable that melts at 70C is PMMA acrylic plastic. To my understanding, this type of fiber not used for long distance communication. Instead, glass fibers with lower losses(which happen to have a much higher melting point) are used: "Because of these properties silica fibers are the material of choice in many optical applications, such as communications (except for very short distances with plastic optical fiber)" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber). Do you know more than my limited Wikipedia level of understanding, and are confident in saying that long haul cables indeed have a 70C melting point, or should you perhaps include a few more caveats on your napkin math?

Regions used in this way predate Rust's use of regions—they go back to the ML Kit if not earlier. There was a lot of excitement around regions when first introduced, because it was thought that they obviated the need for garbage collection. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, and one major reason why is the one you described: you can't free objects within a region without freeing the whole region itself. This is why Rust altered the regions concept to the lifetime concept it has today.

Note that the Rust system is flexible enough to encode regions. There are some crates for this in the ecosystem, for example bumpalo.

Finally related topic! I've been meaning to ask, is there any tool (or a suite of tools) that can be used to visualize network along with real-time health status of each nodes? Imagine you have a web server, API server and DB server, lined up left to right, each connected with a line. Each of them has green dot, and when they're down, the dot changes color to red.
