Ask HN: Should there be a Yelp for online stores?
Hey HN, what do you guys think of "Yelp for online stores"? Simple idea, find and review online stores! Online stores include websites, instagram stores, whatsapp stores and so on. Any store without a physical presence.

Notch is used for art installations and live performances (Rammstein, Billie Eilish, etc) as stage shows rendered in real time. It started as a tool to make graphics demos, so pretty close to a video game engine.

My argument isn't that contracts will be converted to code, but that contracts share similarities to code, and therefore the way contracts are written could resemble the way computer programs are written in the future.

Surviving the Organizational Side Quest
I'm not so sure that the phrase necessarily means exactly what you are saying it does.

Specifically, does it mean "as safe as can be given our actual budgetary constraints" or "as safe as can be given a 1000x increase in funding that would make it marginally safer but certainly not be worth the additional investment" ?

Dude, please step away from the crack pipe.

You are a Nazi. Plain and simple. I know it's not nice to hear such a thing, but it's true. Someone should have mentioned this to you long ago. There could have been much pain and hurt and suffering avoided, had you only known that your actions are destroying people's lives. I assume many posters are too intimidated and are afraid of being banned, to speak truth to your power. That's not me. I simply don't care, and will speak the truth to your face regardless.

Here it goes:

Are you the one who shadow banned my last account?

This is my second HN account. Honestly. The first one was a few months ago (account name 'shiftless'), when in my extraordinary 36-year-old graybeard naivete, I thought it might be a good idea to join this forum, to participate in discussions with fellow computer enthusiasts.

There are many intelligent and wise people here, and many great discussions. Being that I have been living as a hermit for the better part of a decade, it would be nice to have for the first time in a long while people to talk and discuss with, to learn from and to teach.

I invite you to read through the history of my comments, on this profile and the last, and honestly tell me with a straight face that I am a worthless person, that my comments are useless, that I need to be lectured, talked down to, etc like you're doing to this guy, or that I deserve to be shadow banned--my comments silently consigned to oblivion with no notification--simply for speaking my mind.

Yes, my opinions are strongly held, but they are never ignorantly so; everything I know and believe is thoroughly researched and I can argue my position on any subject. Rarely have I been given a chance to do so on this forum. Actually, the posters here are quick to downvote, to flag, to run screaming to the Nazi mods to please hurt this mean evil person who posted a comment I didn't like. You created that culture. The fish rots from the head down.

The harm you are doing to the community with your Nazi Germany style "moderation" is incalculable. The word "moderate" used to mean "moderation", but there is nothing moderate about your actions. There's no telling how many great people you've driven away from this site through this bullshit. It needs to stop, immediately.

Are you planning to shadowban this account as well? If that's the case then I will never, ever post here or read this site again.
Why not Friday night so that everyone can get three full nights of rest before checking to see if anything's on fire?

I don't think the author of that post is living "off the grid" at all.

I am surprised nobody noticed that he mentioned he uses OKCupid.

Rest assured, I will. I've just been busy of late.

Most of the time, it doesn't turn into some minor debacle. I'm reasonably well respected here for giving my views about gender issues, homelessness and a few other things.

But the forum gets about 5 million unique visitors a month and not everyone is going to recognize me and yadda. So sometimes things don't go smoothly due to the random number generator called life.
In addition to technology loss mentioned in other replies, reproducing Apollo designs without major redesigns is not a viable option for simple cost reasons: no NASA program in the foreseeable future will have anything near Apollo's budget, and so any new moon lander will have to be much cheaper.

Given the advances in control systems, simulation, and materials I think this is very doable, but it's work.
I love this feature. I wish it worked with Mixer. At least it work on Twitch!
But laws are already not written ambiguously. They may be written with technical jargon which may be too specific or euphemistic, but that's not quite the same thing. What you would be advocating for at that point might a common language for law that avoids euphemism and keeps the reading level at a certain level of complexity, but doing so also limits the richness of language that we can use to describe legal agreements in the first place.

Furthermore any software system that could handle the Frankensetin Veto would have to be extremely competent in natural language and somehow do model checking on all the combinations of cases that natural language can cover. Not going to happen in polynomial time buddy. Not for all sorts of law anyway.

The problem that the Frankenstein Veto case demonstrates doesn't necessarily have to be handled in software either. It's a problem with the workflow of law, not the systems implementation.
The homectl command has some nice utilities too:

with USER COMMAND: This command is useful for running privileged backup scripts and such, but requires authentication with the user's credentials in order to be able to unlock the user's home directory.

resize USER BYTES: Change the disk space assigned to the specified home directory.

Also, if this makes setting up an encrypted home directory even slightly easier I am all for it. I setup ecryptfs on Rasbian a few weeks ago and there are a few steps that feel hacky if using a headless host and ssh.

Short sellers have a place in the market. They put in place a mechanism, in real markets, to hold a stock to honesty.

Imagine if WeWork could be shorted, people would have been able to hold the stock price down. Instead of the last minute moment where everyone looked around and went: It’s a REIT!

Where I share your sentiment on short sellers and longs are the ones who fake information / overpromote it to make some money, which distorts the market for the commoners.
I accidentally discovered playing by ear. So I play acoustic/electric guitar and electric bass.

It helps if you like to sing and actually have a decent singing voice.

I am a Christian. One of our daily activities is to just pray and sing Christian music (we call this activity worship) every morning after wake up and every night before bed.

One of my friend at church taught me Nashville number system. However he told only one key, G to me since that was the easiest.

I began to just look for worship music that I can play and sing comfortably in G. I found around 3-5 songs and did that daily. After a month, I realized that I did not need to look at the chord book anymore because I memorized it. Then my friend taught me other keys such as C. Then I tried to transcribe the songs that I already know to C and played it and tried to sing it as best as I can. Since those songs weren’t comfortable to be sung in C I tried to find 3 other songs, then proceed for another month to just play these.

Then my friend taught me D, and then he mentioned that if I know how to play D then playing E is just moving it up. Then he told me that I already knew A because it is just G moved up.

So I began to play around with various type of songs, slow and fast, and suddenly everything click, because it seems that majority of Christian music are 90% the same. I developed an ear for knowing which chord to play at what key.

It is really not that hard. It is like driving. Hard at first but once you got it you got it. I applied this technique to bass as well. It is mostly just patterns.

I have successfully taught one student this technique. She actually did it faster than me. I acquired CAGED keys by ear in about 6 months, around 1 key per month. she managed to play just in key of E in 2 weeks. Granted, she practiced longer than me daily.

Air resistance goes up by the square of the velocity, so it takes more and more thrust to go faster. The most efficient thrust per unit of speed is therefore somewhat less than the most efficient thrust per unit of fuel.

I've only had some college physics and no aeronautical engineering so I could be way off. Of course there are other factors like the amount of lift per unit of velocity and so on...

Almost.

Amazon FBA requirements are that the UPC barcode for your product be the only visible barcode on your packaging.

I would bet money that in the name of "efficiency", warehouse employees are trained to scan the first barcode they see and use the result, whatever it may be.

I believe the Chinese numbers are supposed to be for people tested and found to have the coronavirus and for the people out of those who died. This means they are limited by the number of tests carried out which may explain why the numbers go up in a fairly smooth way. An exponential boom in actual infections would just mean most of those would be untested.

So rather than synthetic data maybe actual data but limited testing.

I do not object to the fact that there are patterns pushing women into staying home, I object to the claim that this is regrettable.

My initial post was explanatory of a well established phenomenon (that people don't like to hear about, so it's common to get downvoted for saying "Yup, that's a thing and here's some of the stuff that is probably driving it") and my follow-up comment that you replied to was data backing up my claims.

You are reading in claims of regret that I did not make. Seeking to understand why my life turned out different from what life, the universe and everything led me to expect is not an expression of regret. It is an expression of puzzlement and a desire to figure out how to get what I want out of life in the future so I don't end up some bitter old maid.

I'm a person of few regrets. But the reality is that getting divorced after two decades as a homemaker has left me with a raft load of financial problems that have proven to be surprisingly stubborn, so we will have to agree to disagree about the wonderfulness of women specializing in this particular way and society reinforcing that whether they want it to be so or not.
I don’t think a server should serve the same content in xml and json.

1. Why cater to this preference - you must ultimately force the consumer to do certain things to consume your data. Where do you stop? If some prefer the data in excel97 should you cater to that as well?

2. Do you want to have the liability of the possibility of the format’s data not being fully synchronized? Serve it one way and it will not happen.

Side take... I sized our servers to be adequate with the idea virtual cores won’t be turned on. Just assuming more specter and meltdown discoveries, and while AMD has fairer better it’s not impossible they have their own demons.

My point was about settling before filing in court. The sequence is this:

1. Have your lawyer send a demand letter
2. Request a case management conference/arbitration
3. Reach settlement
4. File in court (filing now public)
5. Reach settlement (settlement private)
6. Court judgment (judgment public)

The goal is to stop at step 3 where it is not yet public. The company will not want the filing public because of bad publicity. If it gets this far, they would rather stop at step 5 than 6.

Illnesses of any kind, physical and mental, are probably extra likely to hit someone who eats a diet composed of literally nothing but beef, as Jordan Peterson has and has strongly advocated, even claiming a while back that it cured his depression.

Of course, that kind of extreme dieting (and the extreme malaise he talked about feeling when he ate/drank things besides beef and water) may have started in the first place as a symptom of severe mental illness, which must have fed back into worsening it further.

As much as I disliked Jordan Peterson and his rhetoric back when he was a prominent public figure, I feel sad about what's happened to him. Being taken out of medical care by family members and sent to quack doctors who put him through untreated benzodiazepine withdrawal that gave him severe neurological damage is something nobody should ever go through.

EDIT: I just realized that my last paragraph concerns information I'd seen in a different article earlier today. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/jordan-peterson-treatment-rus...
Yes, but to the previous posters point, turbofans operate much less efficiently at lower altitudes. They are optimized to run the majority of cruise at a very specific set of altitude and power output settings. This is compounded by the fact that fuel load also assumes a set of assumptions of the flight plan

NASA's budget during the Apollo era peacked in 1966 around 4.5 billion. That's about 35 billion in today's dollars. That's a fair bit more than the actual NASA budget of 23.5 billion but it's not all that far off.

The money is there. The challenges are mostly, as other's have noted, large changes in safety requirements and general execution challenges for large scale projects in today's America.

Hm, some of those points I've experienced, too, or make sense to me.

3: You mean “professionally lonely” as not physically meeting enough other, say, devs? Why can't you get your tech interactions online and satisfy your need to meet people with non-tech people? That would remove the requirement for a tech hub.

8: That isn't specific to remote?

I very much agree that remote work isn't for everyone. But then, nothing is. Not even mango float, and that's a _fantastic_ dessert.

I don't agree with your reasoning, though. Many people are in horrible office-type jobs and their sanity would depend on them walking away. They don't, often for the same reason. Wealth helps because it gives freedom, but this isn't specific to remote.

Also, depending on what you define as remote work. In a not-so-rich country, remote work helps people in more remote and hence usually poorer regions get jobs. Yes, those aren't always great jobs—but they're in line with qualifications, and they do enable people to live better lives.
> I firmly believe that DSP could emulate any guitar amp. If it's real, then it can be measured, and if it can be measured, then it can be simulated.

This is absolutely true, but the possibility of it doesn't tell you anything about someone having been successful at it.

One way to think about is that the market for the product can be split into three populations: Those who will buy even if the simulation is poor (they can't tell, don't care, or buy based on price or other wizbang features), those who won't buy no matter how good the simulation is (they don't care about the cost/weight/power, are happy with the classic stuff, ones snub simulations for social reasons, ones who prefer products without long boot times or with physical knobs, or just can't tell and are going to be conservative), and those who would buy but only if it's good.

I think in many cases this last group is much smaller than the other two. As a result it doesn't necessarily make commercial sense to make the simulation especially good.

Even in the case of linear effects (e.g. typically reverbs) where it's easy to measure them and determine scientifically that any difference would be (nearly-)inaudible there are many implementations that don't even bother to try being particularly faithful. For non-linear effects like guitar amplifiers it's much more difficult to objectively characterize their performance.

[I own no tube amps or other similar things, but I understand why people do.]
The down votes were because you clearly didn't understand what preemption(or that this is really about it being a realtime flag) is or add much to the conversation(mentioning anything at all that might add something, like even a bad question, "I heard people using raspberry pis for embedded, would this help?"). The downvotes on the other guy are because asking for feedback on downvotes is discouraged.

To contribute, the PREEMPT_RT has been around as a set of patches(if not this specific one, then at least some version of making linux a realtime os.). If you need to know that something will run within a specified amount of time realtime matters.

EDIT: Don't use this and think it will help performance, generally it kills throughput.
Excellent. This will make another fine addition to my collection of devices that I don't run Windows on.

It forces you to write in a certain way which means you learn correct hand placement, pressure, angle, etc. With a cheap pencil you learn bad habits.
I mean this is fine for an advertisement, but it woefully oversells clang if you're trying to meaningfully compare these things. A lot of what they're saying is misleading and or false.

In the early days, clang was significantly faster in compilation than GCC. They also barely implemented any code optimization. Now that clang generates code which is about 90% as fast, generally, as C++, its compilation speeds and memory usage have understandably bloated considerably.

Note that I say 90% as fast generally. It still hasn't caught up completely.

Clang pioneered LTO, but GCC does it better now.

Other people have mentioned gcc's previously terrible error message and inability to dumb ASTs.

I don't think this is up to HN standards.
