If you do Costco, and you surf, then you have inevitably come across the "Wavestorm" surfboard.

The original article brings up the trust consumers place in the products Costco decides to sell, and the Wavestorm is a fun example of one such Costco cult.

Agile bumps up against misaligned incentives and conways law so fast. It doesnt work for anything other than executing on a predefined problem that needs to be split up. After that you end up needing to use so many “non agile” techniques to force it to work, and then youre in a purity contest.

Ask HN: What has been your experience with InfluxDB in production?
I am looking for a timeseries DB for IoT data and InfluxDB seems to have a lot of chatter.
However, when I did deeper I see that the OSS version is not distributed. So, I am looking for experiences from people how are you scaling Influx clusters and your experience in production.
> The main innovation of recent programming languages is the use of social media for marketing and PR by their companies to promote them.

For some languages I think yes, others no. Rust in particular has a memory management philosophy which was basically novel when it came out; it existed in research papers and such but not very many people were using those languages to do mainstream software engineering. It’s a big deal.
I guess the claim I disagree with is C8:

C8 = function composition is the primary form of composition for functional programming.

Most people consider Haskell to be a language that heavily encourages a "functional programming" style. If you take a look at idiomatic Haskell code, yes, you see a lot of function composition. But I think you also see a lot of composition that are distinct from "simple" function composition:

- Parametric polymorphism

- 'Monadic' composition (i.e. `>=>`)

- Applying higher-order functions
I remember going to the first SciPy conference at Caltech in 2002. IIRC Most of the talk was about needing better package management. What happened since is just amazing.

No, that was used after they had seized the site, to unmask its users.
Saying it "utterly fails" seems harsh, especially because you don't give any explanation. I don't think you can say it fails at all, the author never said it was an attempt at minimalism, or minimalism in the way you understand it.

The app has its own aesthetic. I think it's debatable whether it's minimalist or not. I don't think it's justifiable to say it "utterly fails" either way though.
Sounds like the Costco in Sunnyvale, I absolutely loathed going there. I'm not sure what the other Costcos in Silicon Valley look like, but Sunnyvale is a terrible experience.

Every where else I have been, Costco is great. The store is never packed, even if busy at times. Checkout lines never exceed 5-10 minutes. Gas lines rarely exceed 10 minutes at the busiest of times.
Love Island: two fan favourites have a date
Agreed.

I regularly wear earplugs with headphones over them, blasting white noise. That way I can block out the noise of loud conversations 10 feet away without (1) getting distracted by music or (2) damaging my hearing.

It's kind of ridiculous, but if I'm going to get focused work done it's my best option.

I'd get more done in a library-like space or an office for sure.
A quick Googling suggested that 25% of them don't have dishwashers. I don't know if that number is accurate, but 25% would be a lot more than I would have expected too.
I got sidetracked searching for pictures of the multiplayer part of the game Vagabond's Quest.[0]
I wasn't successful, unfortunately, but a number of the pages outside the login wall were archived.[1]

I think you might find several of these pages entertaining,[2] especially if you're familiar with text-based games (especially MUDs and MOOs[3]) and a Dungeons and Dragons-esque setting. The items, combat (PvP and 1-player), and any other aspect of chance were transparently dice rolls and modifiers in-game.

Because this is Hacker News, don't miss out on the >20-year-old anti-hacking mechanism.[4][5] Keep in mind this is for a sequel or companion game that came (IIRC years) after the original.

With that stage set, picture a black background and some grey text with scattered red/green/blue highlights. The logo was probably the only image. The page would reload every few seconds, but you could manually reload and see new messages sooner. If your username was in a chat text it would make the text larger (both the line and your name, I think).[6] Maybe under a few other conditions too: if you were fighting someone, if it was the admin/mod/dev(!) Falados, I think you could add a few of your own word filters at some point. Originally it was just your username in the line, I'm pretty sure. The combat moves and rolls were also part of this chat stream. I remember being in busy rooms with dozens of people, frantically refreshing, trying to read the top of the screen quickly before it was lost.

It was great!

I hadn't quite connected the games to programming yet, but I imagine the Hall or Arena you "joined" for Player vs Player combat and chat was by visiting the page of HTML generated by Perl scripts (I remember URIs ending in .pl, maybe some CGI thing?) that had a meta tag to trigger the refresh. It had a regular form with a submit button and the page reload was convenient because that was the only way to see your message or anyone else's new in the page.

I'm amazed how clearly I remember playing, if the details are a bit fuzzy. Looking for pictures I came across this,[7] and am excited to read through and maybe check out a beta. Thanks for prompting the search!

Also, you stated benefits of Fact without stating how it makes it better.
Interesting. Can you give an example of generic algorithms plus custom types, in practice? Off the top of my head I thought that any dynamic language or static language with good genetics would have this property, but maybe there's something that Julia does differently.
If you're talking about clothing, the unbranded/no logo high quality option is bespoke tailoring. Or just unbranded mediocre stuff off the shelf and then tailored to fit.
The time savings from using a wash and fold service aren't to be denied, either. You just drop off a huge sack of laundry once every week or two before work, and you pick it up on the way home nicely washed and folded, better than I, at least, would have done it. By the time you buy detergent and fabric softener and dryer sheets, and factor in the time derping around waiting for it to do its thing, especially in a sketchy coin-op laundry or a dank shared basement washroom, it's a little silly to do it yourself.

Speaking of course as a bachelor. When you are coupled up, or especially when children are involved, dirty laundry production escalates exponentially and wash-and-fold becomes prohibitively expensive and the capital investment in laundry equipment reduces in importance.

Awesome! If it's a hobby, who cares about the platform. Have fun and learn stuff.

This reminds me of being a kid, and always having the "hacker" mentality. Use whatever you have available to make something awesome.

I remember having my first "computer" based project around 2001 for school. We had to create some kind of presentation "using any tool" available to us on our home computer (or available in the school library).

I opted to create my presentation using RPG Maker 2000. It had animations, sound effects, and even a little quiz at the end. I handed the project in to the teacher on a 1.44MB floppy* drive containing only the compiled windows binary.

The teacher loved it and placed me in a regional school advanced IT program where I was first introduced to QBASIC.
Dokku is available now. This landing page says RepoBus will have "Deploy to multiple servers", "Aggregated logs + search", and "Aggregated metrics + alerts" (and maybe others) that I think Dokku doesn't have.
I question the placement of Whole Foods as more ethical. I don’t see shelves of high priced homeopathic “cures” and pseudoscience literature at Costco. Whole Foods is all too eager to prey on ignorance and fear.

Worse. We are able to produce more calories on less land than would otherwise be required. If you check out some photographs of the countryside of the East Coast of the US, particularly, from the turn of the century, and then look at those places today, considerable reforestation has occurred.
Can you explain what you mean by "restored 1 in 3 weeks" and "every hour that I was restored on"?

Also, to be clear, your experience was working in IT at another retail company, not Costco? I'm not sure why you would expect these to be the same: as the article explains in detail, Costco's model lets it do some things very differently from, say, Walmart.
Because of COLA (and on top of that, pensions), the public sector in California pays more than private jobs now, aside from FANG.

As an example here's a senior (1043) network engineer position with the SF Dept of Technology:

https://www.jobapscloud.com/SF/sup/bulpreview.asp?R1=PEX&R2=...

Salary is listed as:

$59.49 - $74.83/hour; $10,311.00 - $12,970.00/month; $123,734.00 - $155,636.00/year

I can tell you that a few years ago at megacorp (not FANG) my base pay for principal ops monkey was more than the top end of the 1043 and 1044 scales. We were not known for above average compensation. In general while we hired into the principal role I think the city tends to aim more for senior (1043) than principal (1044).

Here's the SF pay scale database:

Principal programmers (1064) top out at $149k. Infosys managers (1071) top out at just under $200k. That's not particularly competitive.

Megacorp also provided me with the best 401k I've seen (Vanguard with access to institutional shares), 401k match, stock options, and decent insurance.

I once asked my dental billing technician (yeah that's really a thing in the USA), "Who got the best benefits?"

Answer: "Oh, public employees are royalty."

This still matters so much more for unskilled labor. Working in tech you're already going to have access to heavily subsidized health insurance. 401k vs pension is a matter of debate. I'd prefer a defined benefit situation like a pension, but a 401k with a decent match (we got up to $7k or so) isn't really a deal breaker

The city (due to some combination of local, state, and federal laws) will dock 2% for retiree health care, and 7.5% for your pension.
Mind that in .NET or JVM tooling has total control over underlying machine, which is also the same on any platform.
So VMs have a lot of sense nowadays, especially with multithreading. No one can now dismiss them because they are "heavy" or "unnecessary", unlike, say, 10 years ago.
It's also a common situation in the rest of population and community ecology. For instance, removing wolves as a predator here in Michigan has caused an explosion in the deer population. That, in turn, changed the makeup in undergrowth as they eat more now, which has all kinds of extended effects. Not to mention the propagation of diseases in a more sense population.
What they're saying is that there was no clear separation between model view and controller. Now they've really embraced view (React) as a pure function of model (Redux) that has very clear way that events modify state coming from the controller (your business logic).
> (...) In the best possible way.

I do not see it that way. A whole generation of students is growing with the wrong impression that writing a "for" loop is inevitably inefficient. Also, they believe that it is OK for large arrays of numbers not to be a core language construct, requiring an external library like numpy. These two incorrect beliefs are incredibly damaging in my view.

In a sane programming environment (e.g., with jit compilation), writing a matrix product using three loops should be just as efficient than calling a matrix product routine. The matrix product should also be rightly available without need to "import" anything.
It’s interesting that PlantUML wasn’t mentioned... there are cloud icons for it as well

Welcome to the Secure Data Revolution
I would try to do more test for performance, especially in product environment.

Detect the target table is easy, but it seems tricky to redirect the flow to pg build-in logical replication (not necessary to re-implement it, especially it was written in C language, so redirection is the right way).

In fact, you could use pg logical replication directly for some cases like big and real-time data flows. But currently, it has one big flaw: bi-directional replication or multi-master replication is impossible, where it would cause dead cycle loops, because it do not filter any origin currently, you could check function pgoutput_origin_filter.

And, even if the filter is right, it still lacks of conflict solution, but pgcat could help there, and you don't need to use pgcat, because pgcat has trigger way to resolve conflict, you could check pgcat_setup_lww command.

Finding meaning at work is not always the same as finding meaning in your work.

Earlier in my career I had many lessons I would have learned in any position.

Once I realized that and let myself learn from any opportunity, an appreciation for self growth happened, which lead to a realization that empowering others to have tech work for them meant a lot more to me than I realized.

For what it's worth, the prefix is configurable, but if you can keep the default /nix, then you get benefits like sharing reproducible builds and build caches with everyone else using it.

Your "everything is virtual" will also make it increasingly trivial for a process tree to elect to see some arbitrary filesytem tree at /nix, so that physical volume configuration won't matter and there is no "canonical" filesystem layout to make /nix feel intrusive.

Battle Axe: a pixel-art arcade adventure
I switched to primarily Ubuntu 3-4 months ago. I still have a Windows partition for some older .Net projects I have and a 2014 Macbook Pro for submitting builds to the App Store. But apart from that, most of my daily use and development in .Net Core + React Native is done in Ubuntu. I have not really had any major issues to report. The main issue is battery, but that may also be because of my old T460s getting a bit tired. So 3-4 hours of development work and she is done.

Now I just have a hard time deciding between switching to a T480s or an X1 Carbon.
I remember seeing in-person about 10 years ago, that a staff editor at a well-known cooking/lifestyle mag was evaluating different prepared food item recipes to be sold under the Kirkland brand. I don't know if they do this kind of testing anymore but it made me feel better about eating their pesto instead of just using a blender.

Also in Modernist Bread, it's noted that the baguette scoring at the Seattle Costco was better than the scoring at many Parisian bakeries.

May I ask React guys what’s wrong with parallel controller tree and (virtual) view tree which React tries to avoid (and, in my opinion, creates a bunch of in-club issues on a way that didn’t exist outside of its paradigm)?

I’m talking about this desktop mvc adapted to hyperscript approach:

class AppCR extends CR {
ctor() {
this.db = new RemoteDB
this.sidebar = new SidebarCR
this.content = new ContentCR(db)
this.val = {a:42, b:3.14, c:this.db.fetchC()}
}
render() {
let {h, val} = this
return h.div.wrapper(null, [
this.sidebar.render(),
this.content.render(),
h(AuxViewType1),
h(AuxViewType2.model(this.val, "c")),
h.div(val.b),
])
}
}

class AuxViewType1 extends View {
render() {
let {h, cr} = this
return h.span(cr.val.a)
}
}

class AuxViewType2 extends View {
render() {
let {h, model} = this
return h.model_input({model})
// model == {object, key} (for "input")
}
}

Your controllers localize data, speak to the model in a non-ambigous way, provide data for views directly (no props, think view.cr and view.model works at any depth) and integrate other controllers by creating/destroying them explicitly and rendering when they are needed.

You also may have a global read-only (mostly) store of reference data, but that’s more for caching large datasets, not for state sharing.

Btw, model_input could wait on a val.c promise and rerender appropriately without your intervention (something React folks were to deliver last year, supposedly with help from async setstate process, which was a requirement for that (why?)).

All of this React thing honestly feels like Haskell sneaked into an enterprise for the sake of “so cool we did it” giggles. Dan’s comments on this did not help much when I read ‘em.
> Since communication overhead increases proportionally the square of the number of people on the team—a fact illuminated by Brooks in the 1970s—what you actually want is as little collaboration as you can get away with.

It's an important point that warrants repeating. It comes from an observation that if there are N people communicating directly with each other, every one has to communicate with N-1 other people, which leads to N*(N-1)/2 simultaneously open bidirectional communication channels, which is O(N^2).

I think this point plays a crucial role in why hierarchies form, both in teams/companies and societies. A hierarchy is what lets you turn an O(N^2) relationship into O(N) one, at the expense of creating O(log n) hops.
This is embarrassingly pretentious, classist, and provincial.
Also it takes a long time to get from acceptance to "in print", especially for something that, with all due respect to the SciPy team (love you guys...), isn't time urgent.
There's also the ongoing Phase 3 Remdesivir trial. [1] Which was used in the treatment of Washington's 2019-nCoV case. The patient appears to have begun recovering soon after the remdesivir was administered and was released shortly after. [2][3]

> Treatment with intravenous remdesivir (a novel nucleotide analogue prodrug in development) was initiated on the evening of day 7, and no adverse events were observed in association with the infusion. Vancomycin was discontinued on the evening of day 7, and cefepime was discontinued on the following day, after serial negative procalcitonin levels and negative nasal PCR testing for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

> On hospital day 8 (illness day 12), the patient’s clinical condition improved. Supplemental oxygen was discontinued, and his oxygen saturation values improved to 94 to 96% while he was breathing ambient air. The previous bilateral lower-lobe rales were no longer present. His appetite improved, and he was asymptomatic aside from intermittent dry cough and rhinorrhea. As of January 30, 2020, the patient remains hospitalized. He is afebrile, and all symptoms have resolved with the exception of his cough, which is decreasing in severity.

This is obviously just a single patient’s outcome and not proof that Remdesevir is effective, but it’s just about the only positive news related to 2019-nCoV. Hopefully the trial yields good results.
