I am quite serious when I ask for more specifics on the types of integration primatives you are talking about?

My experience has been the opposite here are some examples:

Number of times I had to implement or maintain hand rolled queues in the database.

Number of times I had to implement a web service whos only purpose was to expose database data to the world.

Number of ETL processes I wrote just to handle some data daily data input from a third party.

Number of times I had to use comparatively complex SQL techniques to iterate over a list of rows because SQL is intended for set based operations not iterative processing ..

Number of times I had to do tedious text templating to generate HTML or XML or JSON or any kind of heirarchical data format that is easily consumable by a non database system.

That's what I am talking about

Which isn't to say this is a bad architecture. Just that database as integration platform has its challenges, a lot of them.

This headline sounds really dark given the coronavirus outbreak.
> Specifically, the claims it's perfectly readable, and anyone who says anything otherwise is either stupid, lying, or too poor to understand it are not useful.

+1. All of these "compact" languages (I'd even extend it to Perl to some extent, the way some write it), are seriously lacking in the ergonomics department. Sure, J Leet Hacker might have no problem parsing pages of the stuff. What about the coworker with dyslexia, ADHD, vision problem, etc?

Even if you aren't, what are the real gains? It seems resistant to tabcomplete, git diffs are probably near-inscrutable, grepping for snippets is probably an exercise in judicious application of backslashes... it's cute, but I don't see where this holier-than-thou is coming from (not that ANY language justifies that attitude)

Edit: oops, touched a nerve, I see. I'll add to the above the 7 +/-2 rule [0]. Sure, lets say even you COULD write a program in 1/100th or 1/1000th of the lines in k. I don't WANT a source code that looks like that. Way too much information density.

I'll give them this: perhaps the criticism is that ALGOLikes are too sparse, could stand to be denser, and k is the manifestation of the far other end of the spectrum.

I like that idea, but I work in an office (I'm sure a significant chunk of HN users do as well) and don't know how I'd be able to scatter fruity pieces during my lunch break.

Wow. This is an ambitious project and one of the first and only usefull implementation of decentralized tech I've seen. Kudos.
A small and stupid nitpick, the example shows 3 items for $650usd, seems a tad expensive for groceries XD.
This is far better than yet another useless decentralized messenger everyone wants to build. I hope it takes off.
As a more seriouse suggestion, consider offering paid hosting as a service with a price structure around traffic as I can see a lot of small stores won't have the tech experience to launch this, as easy as you have made it. Plus, they probably need to focus on importing inventory, which is probably the hardest part to get started. I could see a 'getting started inventory pack' using industry bar codes as a useful add on where they just need to adjust the price.

Either way, cool product.

The criticism of the (ab)use of toxic is fair but I see is a meaningful use in this context implicitly.

It isn't the policy itself that does it but in context without a need. That implicitly has an assumption of "no need for the restriction in this context and yet here it is". In this case it implies a management which is too rigid to accept the possibility of working from home at all. It implies one or more of the following.

1. "Not invented here" syndrome for remote working. Willful ignorance isn't a very good look.
2. A complete lack of trust is implicit in the social environment.
3. Needing a physical presense to apply some sort of office social manipulation.
4. Excessive authoritarianism from leadership and management

Essentially "toxic" means "red flag" hinting at a messed up culture. It is like taking away free coffee being a sign it is time to move on. It isn't that the expense is crippling but it hints that they aren't being valued anymore and are starting to bean count.

These signals are completely negated when there is a reason outside of any dynamics. To give a silly hypothetical example if a stupidly powerful crazed fundamentalist Mormon splinter sect manages to create a worldwide prohibition on coffee it doesn't really reflect upon the management.

For more grounded in reality examples a job where part of it involves say physically examining devices on a daily basis or say in a SIF where "no information physically leaving the site and designed to be network independent" wouldn't be toxic as it would have an actual somewhat legitimate reason behind it (even if one may have very reasonable qualms about the secrecy philosophically - let alone what they are keeping secret).
> does it have a wicked lower TCO because you literally have insanely less lines of liability in your code, libraries, dependencies, etc?

Yes. q (a language and distribution of k4) has a built-in webserver with websockets, messaging, all types can be serialised over IPC (except pointers to C code) and most data structures have an efficient on-disk representation.

You might've recalled a few days ago someone announced a specialised database for doing "have-i-been-pwned" lookups in 49µsec. I wrote[1] one line of q that is about 10x faster:

[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22467866

It's just a single operation, and it's built-in, so maybe you think Python could just have mmap-efficient variables and a bin operator and you'd be there, but those things don't exist in Python. If I had the same problem as the author, it certainly wouldn't materialise as "custom database" of any kind, because I'd already be done.

In fact, one of the biggest challenges with "big data" is choosing an efficient representation. The author spent a lot of time on this, but my language just had one built-in. How much time? What's the target? I mean, if I've already paid for q it's clearly a no-brainer, but q isn't free either (even if you get it for no cost: you still need to learn it!)

> Is that the reason finance uses it, they maybe empirically know what the rest of us don't seem to grasp? Or just because it's so domain specific? Or... something else entirely?

Back in the day, k was the only thing you could put tick data into. Now there's lots of systems, and computers are a lot faster, so quants can use Python. Their code doesn't need to be "fast", but "fast enough".

My code still needs to be fast though.

It's not, separate, one drives the other. Their efforts to make the plane "identical" to the 737 in terms of training is what caused them to add these dangerous "features."

I totally buy that this is elegant for small number- or lust-based things, but since a financial database is named as the flagship product: how does I/O look like in K? Both user input and disk access. How do you make a user interface? How do you networking?

I've been trying for a year and I'm on my third batch of worms. The first two batches died (I think due to summer/compost heat) but the soil they produced was really high quality so I will keep trying.

When it gets warmer I will need to put blocks of ice (in plastic bags) in to keep them cool. Will also try separating some worms and keeping them indoors with a much smaller quantity of food.

Good luck!

That's just the with it feeling wrong near stall at high angle-of-attacks.

Theoretically yes, you can train pilots to deal with it. Hell, it would have been safer to just ignore the issue and not train pilots than the clusterfuck of the original MCAS implementation.

But it's not that it doesn't just feel wrong compared to the 737-NG. It feels wrong compared to every single certified aircraft.

The FAA has strict rules on how all aircraft must feel when approaching stall. You can't certify an aircraft without meeting this feel requirement. So the 737-MAX simply can't be certified without MCAS or some other fix.
The phrase, “to me it’s lost and that’s that”, doesn’t really imply there is a productive discussion to be had. You found what works for you, congrats. Loads of other people are in the middle-ground trying to find out what might work for them.

this is one reason why i fully believe companies should have a give each developer a half-day or day to work on new thing for the company so that new developer get to scratch that itch without trying to force using something new just for the sake of using something new.

> Everyone learns it in China, and everyone there will tell you that it's perfectly readable and you don't need to be extraordinarily intelligent to speak it.

I'm not sure Chinese is necessarily a good example for the point you're trying to make.

Native Chinese speakers _probably_ spend more effort acquiring full competency in Chinese than native English speakers need to learn English. For one thing, reading and writing is harder to learn, even for natives (source: am Chinese and haven't acquired full literacy, despite years of half-hearted effort).

English is generally easier to learn, not only for German and Dutch speakers, but for most people in the world who speak languages that are unrelated to both of them.

One hypothesis[1] is that English has been learned by foreigners multiple times in the past and slowly lost it's more difficult native features (noun declension, many forms of inflection). Chinese has tones, which are rare amongst world languages and, as many learners will tell you, difficult to achieve proficiency with as as an adult.

On a practical level, the British and Americans have had hegemonic influence over the world for about 2-3 centuries, so many idioms and concepts in the language will be familiar to a learner; less so Chinese, which is far more coupled to the culture of China and its history.

Like, every schoolchild in China learns a bit of Tang poetry as part of their education, and 成語 idioms are part of daily speech across all social classes.

The actual problem is Boeing made more changes from the 737 base and the checks for this changes were nod done properly because FAA didn't do it's job. Now if FAA and other international agencies check everything from scratch you will find all this hidden problems.

Now imagine you are hired to check the plane systems, would you sign on subsystem X because it worked fine in the old 737 or use your brain and experience andcx flag all potential issues you see.

> US joined WW2 by the very end when it was evident that Germany lost

Bollocks. The US joined the war because they cut off oil supplies to Japan and Japan saw future conflict as inevitable -- and struck first. They bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941 -- and the war didn't end until 1945. In 1941 Germany had beaten France, the UK, Norway, Denmark, and was on a path to steamroll Yugoslavia, Greece, and possibly the USSR.

> just in time to colonize its share of Europe that remains colonized to this day.

The US military is still in Europe because the NATO is fine with the US footing the cost of defense spending. "Colonized" my fat ass, the reason the EU is able to throw around grand farm subsidies is because the US is paying for missile defense and aircraft carriers.

This is nothing to do with training. We are just talking about the location of two wires deep within the body of the aircraft.

The 737 has always had wires in this location. The original 737, the 737-Classic, the 737-NG and now the 737-MAX.

But the rules changed after the 737-NG was certified due to two major crashes. All new aircraft designed need to meet these new rules, but old aircraft designs get grandfathered in.

It doesn't, because truth values are not probabilities. They are answers to questions more like “How tall is X” than “How likely is it that X is sufficiently tall”.
