That sounds a lot like harboring a grudge, which I personally work to avoid as pointless. Is that a good (maybe harsh) summary of the technique you're suggesting? Maybe you could expound some more?

Seek to be explicit, reduce coupling, and spooky action at a distance by providing the dependencies a type needs as fields on that type rather than using package variables.

Workflow engines might be worth considering. Options from the Microsoft world include PowerApps, BizTalk and (historically) Windows Workflow Foundation.
Google search results have been deteriorating in the past couple of years. It feels like the algorithm has been deliberately tweaked to produce larger quantities of less relevant results - it will often substitute words for "synonyms" that are much broader in scope, to the point of rendering the query pointless. I can't help but think that the purpose is to then show more "relevant" ads.
With most screening services, the tenant takes a hit to their credit score in the form of a hard pull.

Agree, coworkers tried to use this for a project, 10/10 not ready for prime time. Basic tooling is missing, how does one perf/profile within wasm itself? We got stuck with plenty of issues.
A friend of mine has one and said that Apple Pay Express, Mac auto unlock, receiving calls via cellular and heart rate monitoring were among their useful features on the watch.
also +1 for fastmail.

(I say this as a longtime user, and this is not meant to be damning with faint praise). Their email is best of class outside of gmail. It even beats in certain ways: It syncs faster. It's not made by a surveillance company. As a paying user, I've gotten very competent tech support. They have very good privacy controls re: image loading. They seem to permanently grandfather rates, which is nice.

Downsides: their label system is, to someone who really likes gmail, not as good. Calendar syncing on Android with their preferred sync app breaks every couple of months until you hit resync. Fastmail is in Australia, and I'm not sure the impact of Australia's police assistance laws.

Same: They support u2f.

Their product has improved a lot in the 5 years I've been using it, and is very worth the money. I think it's critically important that there exist high quality alternatives to google services, so that's a nice secondary reason to pay them.
You're right. I work in the WASM field, so it probably seems more mainstream from my bubble. It would be more accurate to say it's stabilizing and has reached a point where various orgs are rallying around it as a real thing and starting to build stuff around it.
> It's funny: I always thought the Internet and platforms like Amazon with the collaborative reviewing system would make brands more and more obsolete, because you could just pick high-quality products from smaller manufacturers by looking at user reviews.

Totally agree. I think a lot of people feel this way, which is why it's so lucrative for Amazon and sellers to cheat on reviews.
Agree with the OP, the website needs a designers touch, it does look dated.

The general standard of websites is so much higher these days, if it looks cramped and dated I don't linger.

Testimonials are too long as well.
Python is pretty performant if you're comparing it to Ruby. ;-)

Python/Django is a great choice for line-of-business/workflow applications where you have dozens or hundreds of users. If you're trying to be "web scale", then Java or Go are probably better choices.
One assumes the terahertz rfid reader will be just as cheap or nobody will be verifying anything
There are standard ways in industry of dealing with this problem. You verify your suppliers. Amazon doesn’t do this, and so kids eat lead and we get shitty stuff. The real makers get pissed. The scammers and amazon profit.

I would recommend Blink XT2 cameras for the home health care setting (dad had a hemorrhagic stroke and recovering with hemiplegic paralysis), they are dependable and I plugged them in so they run off lithium ion batteries as a backup.

>It’s verbose but I like it. It makes me think about the code a bit when I have to write a descriptive error wrap.

Having the compiler force you, as is my suggestion, would make you think even more -- or not be able not to think and skip the error check or miss it.
Some send email reminders and some do not.

But I primarily wrote it because of a library that sends reminders. I borrowed books there, did not set a reminder myself, since they always send reminders, and then they did not send reminders. "We had a mail server failure", and then I had to pay 60€, because they cannot maintain their servers properly.

And it has more features. It also renews the books automatically to extend the lending period. Siri cannot renew the books. And it keeps a list of all books. Before I had it, I had read books that I would like to read again, but I do not remember which books that were
Chinese manufacturers themselves seem to follow this model. When they sell cheap junk, you see those one-shot noname brands. But once some market niche is flooded at the bottom, and the only way to get more of that market is to expand into higher-quality offerings, you start seeing established brands that care about their reputation, to the point where they sometimes outdo Western brands. One example that I know through my hobby is Holosun - not only they compete directly, and quite successfully, against Western market leaders on features and quality, but, in US at least, they have live support based in the country - not the usual call center somewhere in India.
One project worth keeping an eye on is Loki (https://github.com/grafana/loki), which eschews full text search for more basic indexing off of "labels", ie it works a lot like prometheus.

There's a writeup on the differences with the EFK stack here: https://github.com/grafana/loki/blob/master/docs/overview/co...

After working with a client for multiple years continually hitting bottlenecks and complexity with the EFK stack, I'm really looking forward to something different.
This would be super compelling.
The solution described in the blog uses 12 Nvidia T4s, which are basically specialized RTX 2080s. Depending on what vCPUs etc. get used, it's running 1000-1500 W of computing power continuously.

If their car was electric, this project would be increasing the power consumption of the vehicle by around 10%.
>I think it is because they went to schools where learning was still the focus

Are you sure that's the case? Or is it perhaps because selection bias is bringing you only the smartest and best foreign students.

I went to a public university. The criteria to get accepted was much lower for Americans. Foreign students had multiple layers of competitive selectivity they had to make it through before matriculating there.

This is an excellent piece, but the writer is also working on the assumption that an item marked "ships from and sold by Amazon" is a reliable control group versus a third-party seller.

As many know, Amazon's practice of commingling inventory in its Fulfilled by Amazon program can just as easily result in a fake being sold by Amazon as from a third-party seller. The author got lucky and didn't get any fakes in the control group (though one might not rule out the possibility of a more sophisticated counterfeit!), but it will continue to be a risk so long as Amazon continues commingling in FBA.
Solar panels are not the way to go for mandates. It has to be solar shingles when they become price competitive.
I got requests to do reviews for some of the products I received out of nowhere on amazon and other places. They told me they would send me the money if I can order more myself and leave a review. So I guess, no that won't help as much as you think it would.
I think the web is already a lost battle. It'll just take time (a lot of it) for the control to fully sink in. But I think that once this control becomes mainstream then there will be something else with more freedom. Some form of an alternate internet that will have barriers to entry. Something like tor. It'll probably be based on p2p.
Not necessarily. (1) Landing pages are relatively simple to fake; just because the link goes to Google, it doesn't mean that Google has authorized an account on Amazon to sell the products. (2) Amazon has been known to mix stock, so even if the seller actually is Google, you might end up getting a product from another seller, which might not be authentic.

Personally, the last 3-4 phones I bought off of Amazon were all different models from what they had been advertised as. It's possible that you might get lucky and receive an authentic phone for less than buying from Google directly, but if you actually want confidence that you will receive the real thing, get it directly from the manufacturer.
Amazon's strategy is to create mistrust for any other product other than its in house brands.
For smaller use cases data lakes probably don't make sense.

But data lakes have arisen from the enterprise where the centralised data warehouse was the standard for the last few decades. They know how to use a database. They know how to model and schema the data. And they know about all of the problems it has. They didn't buy into the data lake concept because it's trendy.

Fact is that for large enterprises and for those with problematic data sets e.g. telemetry databases simply don't scale. You will always have priority workloads e.g. reporting during which time users and non-priority ETL jobs come second. And often Data Science use cases are banned altogether.

The reason data lakes make sense is because it is effectively unlimited scalability. You can have as many crazy ETL jobs, inexperienced users, Data Scientists all reading/writing at the same time with no impact.

Generally you want a hybrid model. Databases for SQL users and data lake for everything else.

Thanks! I used your article to successfully implement Stackifier.
I was curious about this, so I tracked down the actual quote in the Talmud. The "land" in question basically means farming. I don't think we'd find that relevant today. And the talmud actually advises 0% to land / farming as the majority position.

----

173. A hundred Zuz [invested] in business, and every day meat and wine; a hundred Zuz [invested] in land, and salt and vegetables (Jeb. 63a; D. 463).

The Jews seem at one time to have had a disinclination to acquire much land, possibly on account of the uncertainty of tenure in the time of persecution. Cf. the wording of proverb no. 130. The opinions on the question of landed property differ very widely. Ben Sira says: "Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the Most High hath ordained" (Ecclus. vii. 15). The fact that "husbandry" is specially mentioned is in keeping with Ben Sira's general view, shared by the Greeks, that occupation with the soil led to boorishness. A Rabbi of the second century AḌ. gives it as his opinion that there could be no worse occupation than agriculture, and on seeing a field ploughed across its breadth he exclaimed sarcastically, "Plough it also long-wise, and still you will find that to engage in commerce is more profitable" (Jeb. 63a). Rab, who lived in the third century, noticed the ears of corn being fanned by the breeze, and declared "However much you may fan, it is better to devote oneself to commerce" (ibid.). On the other hand, it is also said, "A man who does not possess a piece of land is not fit to be called a man" (ibid.); and another Rabbi adopts a middle course by advising "Let every man divide his money into three parts, and invest a third in land, a third in business, and a third let him keep by him in reserve" (B. M. 42a).
No. Data lakes were marketed well because they are significantly cheaper and solve long standing problems.

S3 is basically free and has unlimited scalability. Oracle, DB2, HANA, SQL Server etc are ridiculously expensive and struggle under high concurrent load even with QoS in place.
Loved NewtonScript and the whole frame concept. Do you know if anyone has tried to do something like Soup since then?
Not strictly necessary, but convenient. All browsers I know of allow you to browse to an IP address.
"There is one thing that may have been a major factor to the decision not to adopt arbitrary CFGs for WebAssembly control flow. I believe that V8 is an exception to most compilers in that it doesn’t represent code as a CFG at all - it maintains roughly JS-compatible control flow all the way from front-end to codegen. In order to support this V8 would have to be converted to use CFGs, they’d have to implement something like Relooper internally, or they’d have to write a new WebAssembly runtime from scratch. Google was and is a major roadblock to getting this implemented as they have multiple people on the committee in charge of WebAssembly who have veto power."
Clojure is more of a case of stability rather than death. Most libs have not needed updating in 7 years. Compare that to other languages which frequently "trigger the libs" ;-)
the first two words are a hyperlink to a much longer paper.
> Digital was considered the “weird sibling” of television and radio before the internet content boom, and commissioners in traditional broadcast were worried digital services would cannibalise their audiences.

I spent some time working for a similar organization. And even in 2020, the same attitudes prevails. I've literally seen radio personalities and producers admit the audience is declining, but ask why we can't just milk the boomer audience until they all die off in 30 years time.

These organisations are filled with people who only understand one way to do things, and are incredibly hostile to change. The people on the ground resist any big strategic shifts from management, and use their union powers to fight back.
Docker-compose with nginx-proxy should work well for home labs.
I'm not defending the comments made here, but they aren't a byproduct of open sourcing the code.
I've worked on nearly a dozen Data Lakes. I have never seen nor heard of anyone who said that Data Lakes meant you could avoid ETL. If anything it has necessitated more of it as users expect to join these disparate data sets.

There is after all a reason that the role Data Engineer became popular just as Data Lakes become popular.
If you have a domain name registered, sometimes your registrar will offer built in email. For example, I have a domain registered with Gandi and they provide a free email service.
A few weeks ago, I bought some shampoo and conditioner from Amazon. I wanted a bulk size and the bottle looked like it was form the official manufacturer. When I got the bottles, opened and used them, I could tell they were fake. The consistency of the product was terrible and the smell was overly harsh. I returned both of them and just ordered the products from the company website. Funnily enough, the company website didn't even have the sizes that were listed on Amazon. Over time, I've become more wary of buying household products Amazon's website.
The comment originating this discussion provides no evidence in any direction on the quality of the rust standard library. Merely that you wouldn't use these in practice, nor would you in C++.
I loathe these kinds of clickbait headlines with all my being and will not give them my click under any circumstances. I can only imagine the writer twisting his/her nipples in expectation of all the extra traffic he/she will get from Hacker News.

Completely unstructured, yes. However, there are many stack-based VMs with both gotos and verification. Generally speaking, the constraint is that for any label that is a jump target, the stack must have the same count and type of elements for all possible origins. It's not hard to verify.
What would you consider some good examples of modern websites for desktop software?

BTW You would probably also consider the design of https://www.perfecttableplan.com dated. But that converts visitors to downloads just fine.
I may have missed something, but I believe the T4s are running in the cloud, so it wouldn't have any effect on the car's power consumption.
It's epic.
It’s just a question of time before people can hack their own similar facial recognition system. The new glasses from Bosch, with a projector straight on to the retina, is an obvious choice for displaying personal info about everybody in reach of the camera. With 5G, everybody has a reliable access to all the computing power needed.
Ive tried to buy direct from the manufacture four times in the last two months, every single time it was more expensive than buying from amazon and these are things that are not easily faked so I'm sure they legit. One of them I contacted the manufacture to see if they would at least match the $20 difference on amazon and they said just to order it from amazon. Wtf.

I definitely can see how Lambda school is now incentivized to generate as many ISAs as they can, and that price discovery in the ISA market (and other somewhat opaque or difficult to model debt markets) can be tricky, but shouldn't Lambda be incentivized to produce excellent graduates because that increases the credit rating (so to speak) of their ISAs and in turn the market value? I would think that ISAs of notoriously bad programs would sell for pennies on the dollar, while ISAs for a highly regarded program might be as good as cash (probably not that good, but you get the drift). I would think at some point that it would be easier to produce one good graduate than 10 or 100 terrible ones (even a terrible program probably has a decent amount of overhead per graduate to market to and find them, enroll them, instruct them, test them, etc.).
Recently I saw a term "lakehouse" for applying data lake design on data warehouse technology. With a big house, you can have a lake inside.
Should Amazon be held liable for fake products sold on their platform the same was Facebook should be liable for fake news published on theirs?
This kind of writing seems to be the equivalent of Normschrift in the US; it's all over schematics from the 60s and 70s (sometimes even the 80s). Just like Normschrift written by craftsmen it looks super-regular, almost like computer set type, except it has tiny variations between draftsmen, making it clear it is actually written by hand. (Some people use templates to write Normschrift; a looked down upon practice, generally not permissible in exams).
Free election campaign platform for local candidates. (501c3 Non-profit w/ a revenue model) Purpose is to remove the financial barriers from running for community office (Mayor / Council / School Board). We incorporated a number of UX features to make the process as easy and convenient as possible for users to better understand which candidate options best aligned with their personal values.

In 2018 we ran a beta test in central NJ that was well received. I am the non-technical founder and our entire team was volunteer based. I also self-funded the project (outsourcing development) and although the beta went well the product is unfinished. Now on the back burner because we have no team anymore and I don't want to invest more personal cash into it at this time. I pay to keep it live for interested parties.

If you're still suspicious of SPAs, you can be sure there's still an alternate universe outside of the Valley bubble that builds server-side web apps on modern frameworks, though now we use Vue.js instead of jQuery. PHP has continued to be a top language of choice for the working class dev, and Laravel is an example of one of the most beautifully crafted (and wildly popular) web frameworks ever made.

Examples of the kind of tooling built by the community that betrays the cultish appeal of Laravel (yep, people actually make a living off Laravel-specific tooling)

So now we are suppose to discourage companies from getting big? Everytine a company gets big do we really want the government to step in? Do your trust your government? Wouid you trust your government if it was the “other” party?

It amazes me that people on HN willingly want to give up their agency to the government.
Even so, the deteriorated results I get from Google tend to be better than what I get anywhere else. I have DDG set as my default engine, and frequently need to fallback on Google.

I wish I could say DDG was as good or better, but outside of the privacy perspective, that unfortunately hasn't been my experience.
In the city, yes. Think pigeon shit rather than sparrow droppings. Cleaning the fruit would be labour intensive and if not done lead to spoilage.
No third party is strictly necessary.

You have to know what the servers public key is in a reliable way. That doesn't necessarily mean a third party has to be involved. Maybe you call them on the phone and check the fingerprint. Maybe it's your server and you sneakernet the key to your client. And to appease the dumb protocol you wrap it up as a certificate (self-signed) and accept yourself as trustworthy (what a concept!).

Even if you use a third party, it doesn't have to be some big company that everybody is functionally obligated to trust. It could be a mutual friend making an introduction.

And certificates are not the only or necessarily the right solution to this problem in all domains. For example, if you have to go and check OCSP every time to see if the certificate might have been revoked, then you are relying on an online trusted source; but if you have an online trusted source, why don't they just tell you the current key and dispense with the certificate mechanism altogether?

X.509 was designed for X.500 and concepts that were relevant for X.500 continue to plague us all. I deployed corporate PKIs back in the 1990s for Sun and Pfizer and worked with other clients. What I remember best from those times was how ridiculous the whole thing is, over-engineered by parties who clearly didn't keep focus on the fundemental problem that public key cryptography is meant to solve.
I think you need to experiment with different price points for the product. To me it seems like I would hesitate buying this for simple jobs due to the price itself. But maybe it it was $25-$40 I might buy it as a impulse buy for speeding my job at work. Or maybe make the free trial dependent on amount of use rather than making it time limited (transform a small number of rows for free for example).
To clarify, I mean indirectly the power consumption. I guess this will become an important point of discussion soon-ish, as we get more and more electric cars and ML stuff in them.

My view is, if your car uses electrons, and some of those are for compute, and you just offload the compute to the cloud, you haven't actually reduced the total electricity consumption.

Similarly here, the total "footprint" of the car is increased by adding this feature.
