In that case I have no idea what you're talking about :)

I think we may be talking about different things. I don't eat processed cheese
so I don't know how it behaves. A quick search on the internet tells me that
processed cheese can be melted to the point it is poured. It is then used in
sauces. For sure, you can't pour real cheese. So I'm talking about the
kind of melting you see, e.g. in a raclette:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5U1crD18iM

Yes, real cheese will weep when you heat it but that's not "oil". Depending on
the age of the cheese, some of it is whey and the rest is butterfat. But your
description of "breaking" makes it sound like you expect cheese to cleanly
separate in a puddle of butterfat and a chunk of protein, whereas real cheese
will melt into a viscous fluid. That is - if it's cheese that melts in the
first place. For instance, feta or haloumi don't melt, etc. I suspect I might
misunderstand your description of "break" though.

Regarding saganaki, it is prepared with many different cheeses, normally Greek
cheeses. I have no idea how Greek-style cheese behaves, that is prepared
outside Greece, but feta will not melt and only weep whey, whereas graviera,
kaseri, kefalotyri etc "yellow cheeses" (as we call them) will melt. Saganaki
is battered (or sometimes rolled in flour) for this reason- to keep the cheese
from spreading after it melts. That's how it's made in Greece. I guess it's
made in a different fashion outside of Greece.

Finally- although I've never tried to make tuiles from parmesan, there is a
large industry of counterfeit Parmiggianio Reggiano:

Which might well explain ill-behaved "Parmiggiano Reggiano".
get your cissp or oscp cert and go into the infosec sector. you make a ton of money and are basically in a managerial role so there is little hands on and zero coding.

get a cloud cert in aws, azure or google and basically do dev ops at a large scale. again... tons of money and zero web development.

There are reusable shipping boxes made from similar materials. Those don't work as well with a robot, however.

I do still plan to get a lifting arm/manually-operated crane.
It would be nice to not have to lift them with my spine, and these are made for reliably grabbing by a robot. Both from the sides and even from the top (when tightly packed).

(There are 4 access holes on the top that go down next to the grips on the short sides. A grabber uses one hook each to lock the box when unloading e.g. a pallet.)

You should be able to order from a company like Auer Packaging or a local alternative. Thankfully these are specified precisely, so manufacturers can't cheat on stability to save materials.

They actually recycle well, btw. When broken/used-up, they'll get shredded and turned back into new boxes. It works because they're pure PP and only one of a few fixed colors.

So I tested your aesnihash with smhasher. It's really bad. A much better 64bit aesni variant would be falkhash, which is 4x faster, supports a seed and passes most tests.

Turns out there's the same amount of code in the Spotify app as there is in the product I work on...

True though, if you want more features you need more code. Sure, loads of people on HN could build a 'chat app' in a lot less but if they kept it going for ten years (same age as our product) and kept on adding new features the lines would start to add up...
True but, be aware that those 50 people did everything including the servers, the operations, the BI, oh and also maintained clients for like 8 different mobile platforms including ultra constrained ones like j2me and blackberry. If you look just at the iOS client, 5 people at WhatsApp on it would probably be a bit too high.

The issue here is only partly inherent complexity of the feature set. The real problem Facebook had is one I don't see discussed in either the blog post or this thread, which was organizational. The way they structured their mobile apps was as a huge shared codebase with many disparate teams just checking code into it whenever they wanted. To the extent there was any architectural planning at all it came from some small shared library teams who were in no position, managerially, to enforce their will on the others. The blog post makes clear that a huge portion of their problem was multiple teams inventing their own ways of doing things and creating stuff that want necessary, along with a lot of pointless duplication because there was so little coordination and thus so little code reuse.

The new app doesn't sound like anything special design wise, and that's the point: for the first time they've done things more conventionally. They now have someone who can dictate to every feature team "thou shalt use sqlite with these schemas" and other rules.
High volumes of travelers siphoning through the same paths, touching the same surfaces, interacting with the same service personnel.

Those travelers being from all-over, thus introducing new region-to-region microbiota mixes. Those travelers often tired or dehydrated from long plane travel across time-zones.

Even a heavily-trafficked park, grocery store, or DMV-like public service outlet might not face the same volume of widely-exposed & weary people as an airport does.
> Interestingly, there was news on some satellite running javascript.

It does not mean it runs JS for anything critical, and very likely it does not.

My car entertainment system (GUI) run JS, and I'm fine with it. I would not if it would run on the emergency breaking system...
As much as I am not a big fan of Musk, I say he is also playing his part.
He has shown that EV's don't have to be boring nor ugly and made people actually want to own one.
He's has also build out battery storage for the grid. When you have all wind and solar energy now how do you storage that energy for a consistent supply during all hours including during peak demand?

All of this is needed in the fight. It certainly wouldn't take one man to win it.

I guess others can give you lots of information (especially about tracking tasks, fighting procrastination, etc.), but I found that having regular meetings (weekly) if you're in the same area is great for keeping up morale. That is, if your team aren't really introverted, then they may not need so much social contact.

But I'd say either way that it's important to have a regular face-to-face. I think videoconferincing might work here in a pinch if needed.
Wouldn't you use subjective time for this kind of things?
> What's your source for the "most" here?

Most of the major scientific minds beyond the control of the Inquisition (i.e., in Protestant Europe). Heliocentrism was widely accepted by the time of Galileo's death, even though diffraction had not yet been understood (meaning that the star-size objection was still unanswered). It's significant that the next generation of scientists - Hooke, Newton et al. - were committed to the New Science, rather than the old geocentric worldview.

> So the scientific status of the claims was important as well.

The scientific status of the claims was irrelevant to the Church. The idea that it was is pure modern apologia. From the context of the times (the Counter-Reformation) and the texts of the Inquisition's decisions (which emphasize the heretical nature of heliocentrism), it's clear that what the Church cared about was enforcing its control over doctrine. This was an era in which the Church was in a bitter battle against heresy, trying to fight the spread of Protestantism and reassert control.
Lightspeed Venture Partners to raise USD 300M for India-focused fund
Sometimes the complexity is there for a reason. But if you can just start over, those reasons was not that important!? So don't hang on to functionality because it would be nice to have, you will have to pay the price for those features over and over.
Recommending Cliqz that is owned by Hubert Burda, a global media conglomerate which couldn’t care less about your privacy, and where every player is sorely focused on getting a bite of Google’s cake, is also hypocrisy.
How many people laid off? Thoma Bravo is notorious for being extremely spreadsheet-driven and lays off.

I feel bad for the employees.
Surprisingly, Singapore has lots of Indians but I don't see Indians in Singapore who got this virus. And no report of India being affected either. What gives?
I understand you. I am also self-taught webdev working in small company with loooots of legacy/scary code behind us.

I somewhat lost interest in new cool frameworks/technologies and somewhat stagnated in "JQuery era".

For me, these three ideas helped:

1) have life outside work. Have some hobbbies/friends/social activities. Do not try to find meaning in work.

2) do something completely different with computers. For example - I started making computer music, coding my own VST instruments in Csound etc...

3) try new technologies in meaningful project. Not just code for code sake. For example: I am currently implementing custom point of sales system for friend who is curating gallery. In this system I have tried to use Vue.js and found it very useful.
True but they know how to maximize the spreadsheets. Expect to see some large returns for Thoma Bravo in the next few years.

The investors will do real good -- from the investor perspective, they are great. Just sucks for the workers that get churned out in the process.

Functional Programming in Go
Lean Tech | London, UK | Full Time + Onsite | VISA | Senior Backend Engineer (Java + Spring) + Design Obsessed Frontend Engineer (React + Redux)

Lean is on a mission to empower Fintech innovators. Our core product provides a single API for developers to access their user's financial information stored within banks in the Middle East. Lean takes on the complexity of connecting to several banks, with several different data formats and various latencies to allow developers to make a single API call to receive the same schema for any user, regardless of the bank they use. Our solution, and the company itself, is built around two core tenets — creating a delightful developer experience and granting the user absolute control over their data.

We just built our MVP and given access to alpha customers. Now, with their feedback, we're striving to transform our product from functional to delightful. That's where you come in. We're looking for developers, both backend and frontend, to build the rails that lead to a robust, secure, and magical experience. Our customers are developers which means you know the customer best and our work culture takes advantage of that by pushing for autonomy within our team and throughout our processes.

If any of the following descriptions excite you, send an email to (careers at leantech dot me) and we'll get the ball rolling.

"we should all agree that coal, oil and gas do not belong in the energy grid." - except fossil fuels are cheap, reliable, and energy dense. People want abundant energy to live developed lives, so until you can improve on these areas with the alternatives, it's always going to be contentious. Whatever the energy source, it needs to power 10B people with western living standards.
SQL Server Management Studio still has a great GUI for query plans and the database engine reveals more than ever.

I mostly agree, although I think that isn't totally clear yet. I only mentioned Yandex because they're the most egregious example. They are significantly worse than Google in user privacy and general evilness, which I don't think you can clearly say about Cliqz, if only because they haven't mattered enough to have the chance to abuse real users.

This is an extremely one-sided and biased article. Basically, it presumes that manipulating public opinion begins with Cambridge Analytica, being completely oblivious to the excesive lies, public shaming, character assasinations, alarmism that the agents of the "solid establishment consensus" (The Guardian, NYT, BBC, Deutsche Welle, etc) routinely perform.

>The German versions often start with a political classification right away. If the classification is contested, then it stays there and just gets slighty changed into reported speech. If any counter-arguments to that classification make it into an article, then they are almost always commented, often with a counter-argument to the counter-argument from groups that created that classification in the first place, litteraly giving them the last word.

It's exactly the same in English Wikipedia for anything to do with current politics. Try reading any article about President Trump.
100%. I worked alone for a few years. Again self taught web development. I tried to read the “best practices” for the languages I was learning. But it was bugs galore and code I feared maintaining after release.

I then spent 5 months at a company in a team where every bit of code went through a peer review process. Even I was responsible for reviewing others code. I learnt a hell of a lot, we barely had any bugs and if we found a bug, it was usually easy to fix. Since then, writing maintainable and (importantly) readable code is my standard and I try and help other Devs do the same.
Well, you can use parachutes, and indeed every lander mission to Mars has done so, but they are not enough, necessitating complex EDL (entry/descent/landing) sequences.
Ask HN: What other things follow a parallel+serial processing pattern?
Now we're familiar with CPUs doing serial processsing and GPUs doing parallel processing.

There's a 2008 TED talk about the left brain doing serial processing and the right brain doing parallel processing, and what happens when one side breaks: https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_my_stroke_of_insight

What other situations do this? Companies and countries tend to be either heavily serial (micromanaging/autocratic CEO/Prime Minister) or heavily parallel (delegating CEO/PM). There's not a lot of situations where there are two leaders who do one of either.
And a hectosecond (which I assume is what a hectasec is) is just one minute and forty seconds... I hope he would be able to stay awake a little longer than that.
The article implies it might have done, not directly through the farming of plants directly but because humans settled in one place for agriculture instead of foraging.

I don't think the fact that KPMG ran it is necessarily the key thing here.

I have a perennial objection to the "Silicon Valley Way" where you try to build a scalable product or service and immediately look for funding (and later a buyer).

Normal companies just start. And try to be profitable quickly. I think this is probably the issue as well that Troy eventually found there. I think he should really be thinking: "What is my service and what is my product, and what is the 80-20 of where my product is worth the most."

And I don't mean dumb things like ads. I think he should be doing custom services for big companies that care about security.
Average App User Ratings for Scooter Sharing Companies
Another noteworthy point about Magna, from their Wikipedia page [0] it states that they've previously partnered with a LIDAR company:

> It partnered with Innoviz Technologies to produce solid-state lidar for autonomous vehicles for BMW Group.

Also an interesting note cited from 2018 on their Wikipedia page:

> it introduced an Icon radar system to help automakers reach Level 5 autonomy as well as automatic emergency braking systems.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_International
After reading that, I think that what Troy needs is an employee or two (assuming the business supports it).
Quite likely better subjectively, just like today's poor villagers in remote areas seem pretty happy. Objectively, it's a tough, limited life imo.
Note the the ones marked Singaporeans can include people of Indian origin. The data only indicates that Indian citizens in Singapore haven't been confirmed with COVID-19.

Also, the clusters identified have more Chinese origin people.
What Is Enough?
> Compile time generic programming is not a replacement for runtime reflection.

Why not?

> A great example of this is if you want to use dynamically generated protocol buffers.

When would you want to do that? If your data isn't statically typed, isn't it more appropriate to use a type designed for dynamic shapes (e.g. a list or hashmap)?

> A great usecase for this is if you want to store each row in a database as a proto message.

Wouldn't a reasonable approach to this be to turn each row into a list (of variants) and serialize that?
To give an example, he probably can help a lot of big companies just with their authentication policies. Accountants are ignorant about these things and maybe he could for example be asked about when to use a password and when to use some kind of token, how to setup access to EC2 or Azure virtual machines and things like that.

I know these in principle should be simple. But the man is a rock star and should be able to cut through a lot of the bureaucratic BS.

I think a lot of people lean on saying that they're doing X "because of tradition" because it's socially easier than saying that you like it yourself.

Vague memory of a story of someone who was walking across America (or similar giant arduous travel project) who found that, if he said he was doing it because he wanted to, he got looked at weird, but if he said he was doing it for a bet everyone understood immediately. The latter anchors him in society, while having your own preferences makes you a loose cannon.

This leads to people travelling the world looking for a tradition to adopt, because that's "easier" than starting your own tradition.

I hadn't really followed the story up-to now, followed the link from the first of this "one every day" (this is the fifth of this series, hardly a deluge) and have been completely appalled that this is happening in my country. This is the trial of a journalist who faces life imprisonment for revealing war-crimes, and people are "tired" of it. I expected better.
> I would love to read more about why large apps are so big.

Because nobody ever got promoted for not hiring people or for not writing code.

The problem is 10x as bad when you're an "IT company", i.e., writing code is your primary product.
Part of it also comes from the tendency of large orgs to ship their org structure.

It can oftentimes be worthwhile to have individual teams each fully "own" a piece of the product, and that also comes with the autonomy to choose to duplicate stuff that other teams might have already built rather than working with them and tweaking it to match their own specific new requirement.

This significantly reduces communication & coordination overhead for delivering new features, at the expense of consistency and code reuse, which can often be a worthwhile tradeoff at scale.
There are Indian citizens who are affected. Local transmission didn't happen as India made prompt effort to cancel chineese visas and health screening in airports who come from affected countries.

It is indeed:

> In some cases where the orbit is eccentric and the tidal effect is relatively weak, the smaller body may end up in a so-called spin–orbit resonance, rather than being tidally locked. Here, the ratio of the rotation period of a body to its own orbital period is some simple fraction different from 1:1. A well known case is the rotation of Mercury, which is locked to its own orbit around the Sun in a 3:2 resonance.

That's not quite it. The client/server distinction was removed from the JVM many years ago. These days the JVM switches between modes on the fly on a per-method basis, this is called tiered compilation, so the optimisations are in effect on by default. Back in 2006 yes it may have made a big difference but it wouldn't have made startup magically instant.

IIRC Clojure apps are slow to start because they do a lot of first-time setup work that isn't actually executing user code. It's not so much a JVM problem as a Clojure-emitted-code problem. The GraalVM native-image tool fixes it because it can start an app in a pre-initialised state.
