Why? So we can all blindly continue running this sham economy producing useless addictive junk and destroying society and the planet in the process?

You're saying that the solution is to withdraw further into our echo-chambers and filter bubbles?

Economic collapse is long overdue and filter bubbles are actually responsible for delaying it and for making it worse than it should have been.
3 Tactics to Increase Your LTV for Your B2B SaaS Business

Right, and there are many things in between. Maintaining an object, improving an object, combining objects to make complex object, etc.

If you’re in the business of creating useful objects out of basically nothing, you don’t even need a company. Maybe you hire somebody to sell your objects for commission, or maybe you sell them yourself.

If you’re looking for a closer analogy, try the shove analogy. Why is it that despite the fact that the shovel makers are creating an object, even out of nothing, that they aren’t worth what is dug up with them? Software engineers are a lot like the shovel makers. Sometimes the shovels we make are used in extraordinarily profitable ventures. But their value is still determined by how hard it was to make them, and to learn the skills to make them. Not what the company uses them for.

I think it becomes hard to see when all the shovels being made are bespoke. Lots of software is written to fill one role for one client. That client will often use that particular thing to make lots of money. So maybe it appears like that thing bit of software created all the value? But this is clearly false. The fact that some part of a system is essential to the whole system’s success does not imply that the worth of every piece of the system is equivalent to the worth of the whole system.
You just proved the comment you replied to.
So that somebody who has access to the CSV file only has a per account view, they can look at all the transactions for a specific account, the same way they'd look at the account in GnuCash.

One column per account is what enables at looking at splits on a given line.

For liabilities account, it also allows to do a quick verification that the total is zero.

It's an ADHD medication, so there's no health risk associated with not taking it, they're just really strict about the amount given out at once because they don't want people getting a 90 day supply and selling it.

Hey all, I'm Adrian, the founder of damnshort. I thought I'd do something with "Change Your Name" [1] in mind.

Countertops wouldn't trigger reassessment. It has to be electrical, plumbing, or structural changes (e.g, changing the size of a window or door entry).
Some of these issues are going to be helped by the adoption of IPv6.
Are you sure about this?? Go is being used to build some of the most important software in devops and databases today. Maybe its the thinking thats different but certainly it doesn't make codebases complex by itself.
A friend uses an old phone as a power outage detector. The phone is constantly charged but is set to automatically notify once it's below (IIRC) 97% charge. If a blackout occurs, the battery would drain and the phone would notify. It's not an accurate measurement, but works well in practice.
Interesting. A US gallon per hour is roughly a milliliter per second.
Why would you want to fight RIPA? Spying was happening on a large scale, mostly unregulated. Lots of different agencies were doing it: security services, law enforcement, through to local authorities (eg, child protection social workers using social media comments in court cases) and even schools (to check whether parents lived in the relevant catchment area).

RIPA put a stop to a lot of the worst snooping, and gave real protections to citizens for the rest of it.

There are parts that are worrying (key disclosure), but so far that's not being misused.
The argument is that you can't have an in-depth production guide to Elasticsearch without a section on security. "Production" should be "secure". A better title would be "optimizing Elasticsearch performance in production" or something of the sort.

A simple open source Android app that I can connect to my WiFi and then connect to from the outside so I can see what is going on in my premises.

So it should just wait for a connect from the outisde and when I connect (via a browser) it turns on the camera and streams the video.

The app code should be as short as possible, so I can read and compile it myself. So I can trust it.

They can. You need to buy surgical respirators instead of surgical masks. They look fairly similar. Masks prevent you spreading the disease to others. Respirators prevent you spreading the disease and others spreading it to you.

The Javascript frontend scene almost literally exploded, in various ways.

Webasm got some serious traction. Old serious people like this, becuase it may eventually allow them to avoid the increasingly crazy javascript scene.

Computer vision (by means of machine learning/deep learning) got quite a bit easier to use, even if you're not a PhD in Computer Vision. Real-time inference from static photos is now easy. Real-time inference from video is still sorta hard/expensive, depending on your deployment target (embedded, backend).

Python people are still using Python even though it's dead slow.

A bunch of people moved from Java to Go and suddenly felt a lot happier.

Just a tip, code formatting does not work well for quotes because it often leads to unnecessary horizontal scrolling (especially on mobile). A common convention here is to use a leading > character and italicize the quote by enclosing it in asterisks, like this:

> *This quote can be any length without horizontal scrolling*

which renders as:

> This quote can be any length without horizontal scrolling

Update: Thanks for making that edit. Much easier to read on mobile now!

There are some FOSS applications e.g. https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/ but I'm surprised how bad the results of the analysis are. Intuitively, it seems such a simple problem.
I think you misascribe the intent here; in medicine, symptoms and circumstances are correlative (and must be interpreted in a manner consistent with that). For example, chest pain correlates with heart attacks but many other causes exist as well and not everyone will display the same symptoms.

The list above is merely a set of correlations. It may be useful to consider, but must be interpreted appropriately in a given context.
Or Iran, for that matter.

https://time.com/5789360/iran-coronavirus-death-toll/

8 dead on 43 cases suggests severe under-reporting of the number of people infected. That in turn suggests that testing is inadequate which may cause the disease to spread further than necessary. The fact that infected Iranians have turned up in Lebanon and Canada is further proof that the number of infections is likely higher than reported.

If we take the 2-3% mortality reported elsewhere as the base than the 8 people confirmed dead would suggest at least 300-400 infections, or about 8 times higher than officially reported by the Iranian authorities.

This wisdom was clearly conceived before the advent of widespread, liquid options markets. Purchasing options requires no leverage and thus bears no risk of becoming "insolvent". Of course, trading against stubbornly irrational markets via options can be quite expensive so there is a substantial price to pay for capping one's downside risk.

Just because not everyone will be able to do it for every medication does not mean that it is not good advice for those who can act on it. It keeps healthy people from needlessly exposing themselves to higher risk of illness by standing in long pharmacy lines with potentially sick people, and it makes lines shorter for sick people who need to go to the pharmacy.
Perhaps they should be sued.

I still think it’s an incorrect assumption that you’ll just lose engineers you train, full stop. There are a lot of reasons being willfully ignored and a lot of assumptions being made that I have not seen nor seen data to the effect of happening en made.

We train developers in popular languages (particularly our stack leverages Vue and C# and a good deal of custom SCSS) we are only ~3 hrs from the valley yet we aren’t losing engineers in droves and haven’t ever for the years we have been in business

You should pay juniors market rates for their positions, period. I don’t agree with that at all
This is great, but shouldn't they also mention how metadata (like IPs) is almost as important (if not more so) than data, and the Internet is designed around the absence of privacy related to the personal information stored in the metadata ?
Last year The Economist had a good article on that[1]. The EU looks very different depending on whether you look South or North. None of the Northern counties are in good shape right now (Germany, France) and its suppliers of labor from the South who are on the brink since years aren't going to weather this IMO. German and French voters sure won't be happy to bail them out when things become hard.

> Southern discomfort

At the same time, southerners feel they are bearing all the pain of recovery. The politics of monetary union is more febrile as a result. After eight years of eye-watering austerity, Greek GDP per person is still far below its level in 2007 in real terms (see chart 3). In 2015 Syriza, a left-wing party, came to power promising to end austerity, before spectacularly reversing course when it became clear that Greece needed a third bail-out.

As part of a project I interviewed a lot of "crossovers": people who worked as both traditional engineers and software engineers. According to everyone I talked to, requirements volatility happens everywhere. Two civil engineers had to move a bridge. One "system engineer" worked for Boeing and was part of a team who's only job was to figure out how to reconcile existing work whenever they changed requirements.
> Having worked at one, I can assure you that you're not just allowed to publish whatever you want as long as it conforms to basic journalistic standards or whatever.

Should this be surprising? A newspaper isn’t a blog for a bunch of journalists, it’s an organization that makes a collective effort to speak with a single authoritative voice.

That’s a far cry from all newspapers sharing an institutional perspective, though.

It should perhaps be an error to not assign an error to a variable. Internally, Google has linters that enforce this.

You talk of entitlements and welfare. The political party difference isn't in whether those should exist, it's in which people or entities should receive them, and what form they take.
the rating system could be circular (by lack of beter name)

users would up and down vote things they like or not. value is them extracted from contradiction(!) if user A liked content X while B does not and user B liked Y we assume A does not like Y. with lots of fine gradients like that I assume the high noise will eventually be drowned out by the signal.

A Plan Product Manager from GitLab here!
Thanks for this feedback.

Our vision is that Milestones are the best way to group issues over a spans of time, while Epics work best for organizing related work that may span multiple milestones/longer development timelines.

The Portfolio Management group is actively pushing to expand the functionalities of Epics across the board to better serve planning processes. Epics are young compared to our Issues and Milestones, and I agree we have many areas that need enhancement so the three can compliment each other.

I also agree Epics should have the option to have milestones assigned to them (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/329) to better support planning over all. Any thoughts or additional feedback on that issue would be extremely helpful for the team as we map out the best MVC.

Internally we have been discussing Swimlanes in boards (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/328) quite a bit and they would be a valuable add to our Boards. I'll share this thread with the other Plan team members and work to drive the conversation forward in that epic.

Again, thank for this feedback, please continue to provide it so we can provide the right features to alleviate any frustration.
I feel like nothing really changed. Rust still is a cool project, JS still has plenty of frameworks, SPA still a thing, Go still a thing, Data Science and Machine Learning is still thrown everywhere. Blockchain hype is dead, I guess.
GCHQ has nothing to fear from Europe, and Europe has done nothing to hinder the work of GCHQ apart from releasing a few reports about ECHELON.

Fear-mongering aside, the article basically says "have some masks and be prepared for supply disruptions of critical things (medicine in particular)" which seems like generally a good idea? Maybe that's just the Boy Scout "be prepared" in me, but that feels like a low cost way to insulate yourself from the unexpected (pandemic or otherwise).

Mostly good stuff but a few comments:

- article doesn’t clarify if it’s on hardware or VMs

- 140 shards per node is certainly on the low side, one can easily scale to 500+ per node (if most shards are small, typically power law distribution)

- more RAM is better, and there is a ratio of disk:ram that you need to keep in mind (30-40 for hot data, 200-300 for warm data)

- heaps beyond 32g can be beneficial but you’d have to go for 64g+, 32-48g is a dead zone

- not a single line about GC tuning (I find default CMS to be quite horrible even in recommended ~31g sizes)

- CPUs are often a bottleneck when using SSD drives

Shameless plugs are generally quite appreciated on HN, when done respectfully at least. A large percentage of people here are either entrepreneurs or wantrepreneurs, so understand the struggle.

If I insult your mom, I don't insult you, yet you feel insulted.

Same with things you spent a lot of time building.

Now if OP would have said "use case X in Go is absolutely garbage because of Z", it would have been better received. But he didn't.

Because, you see, insulting, insulting anything really, is removing space for debating, sharing ideas and advancing arguments. It's the same reason this site asks for not posting things like "+1", "first" or memes.

And it's why, being carried away by the definitive and aggressive generalization of "Go is garbage", OP closed the door for a proper discussion. The opposite of the goal of Hacker News.

Some medium are a fine place for this, mind you. I enjoy being trolled on IRC, for once, being a child of the eighties. Imgur makes for fun memes. 4chan is great to make fun of pretty much everything. And twitter is big enough that you can find an audience to bash any kind of programing language for therapeutic reason. I did that with JS for some years. Very relaxing.

But HN is definitely not the place for this.
Those are literally the last words of a fool.

While I strongly agree in distancing in distancing yourself from the noise, that does not include the signal. You have to add a grain of salt to both good news and bad, but you still have to pay attention. There is a huge, long-term correction coming and I have no sympathy for some of the pending victims who now say, "Ignore the news, the market always goes up over time." There is no guaranteed investment. Everything outside of cash holds risk. Period. No one gets a free ride. History isn't limited to 90 years.
