OK, sure. My point is: how many of them hard-depend (no graceful failover) on APIs introduced in the last 5 years though? You could build a pretty good web app 5 years ago, and many people did. Has the fundamental abstraction changed that much? I'm extremely skeptical of the claim.

If somebody does depend on something obscure like javascript APIs for bluetooth [like someone in this thread cited], are they doing that as a desktop app with chromium embedded or are they a more traditional webpage? Does it completely fall over and explode if you don't have bluetooth support in the browser? That would be pretty unreasonable for most developers.

What I'm saying is there is a difference between the bleeding edge stuff or things that push boundaries and common practice. And if you are coding against that other stuff, you also need a fallback for if it doesn't work.

Saving Official-Fan Games: The Namco Catalog IP Rescue
From a product perspective, I would say there is a reasonable expectation that a customer will provide that query and expect the results to come back with plain shirts. Anything different is a degraded customer experience. Sure, a technical user will understand which queries to provide better, but 90% of customers won't have that skillset. Its our job as engineers to serve those people, and the queries they provide.

So NLP is totally a thing you want to have in search. Arguably, its the whole point of search as it exists now.
Honestly each stories varies a lot by location.

In general, Meijer is a direct competitor to Walmart. Cheap, and low end.

Kroger is the bargain basement grocery store chain. Has all your groceries. A few fancier items. A real selection (unlike say an Aldi that only stocks some products). But not fancy at all.

Amusing that your local Meijer is fancy. Most Meijer are not. There are some nice and new and fancy ones, same with Kroger (went to a few real nice Krogers in Indy).
Even riding a motorcycle without a helmet has externalities - more severe injuries from accidents could raise insurance rates across the board, and these people take from the ER/ICU capacity that others could use.

I guess you could have a policy of just letting them die if they get into an accident without a helmet, but that its own host of problems.
"If you put Amazon in the headline, they will come." Interesting call that the story isn't compelling enough if it "just" involves Whole Foods.
- Synchronous vs asynchronous communication -- if we're all full-timers and you're not then you're hard to communicate with

- Security and access -- I know and trust my full-timers, be they contractors or direct hires. They get to see my codebase, have access to my servers, and get insights as to what my roadmaps are because they own them. If we already knew you, like you were a full-timer who scaled back hours for a while, that might be a different story, but I'm not going to give some rando 20-hour-a-week person access to things.

- IT contracting firms / headhunters already do much of this.

- Hiring is a pain. Why interview for 2 positions when I can just hire one person?

Note: I'm in Canada so some of the healthcare and overhead-related questions are different from the US.
Sounds interesting! What program do you use?
Strangely, in the context of the "Coffee without cream" example given in the video, I can see it possibly interpreted as "Coffee, with cream on the side, but not in it - I'll pour it myself". It's a stretch of assumption, but depending on culture, it could make sense.

"Shirt without stripes" is harder to imagine it meaning "strips on the side. I'll add them myself".

Language is ever so complicated and contextual.
Can someone expand on this? I found the article interesting, energetic and containing a strong and, to me, positive and useful message ("ask yourself what are you building?").

Yet parent calls it ignorant, of what? a sibling comment is "horrified" that the article gained so much attention here, although it seems to me that with it's focus on building stuff it's 100% on topic (which is "Anything that good hackers would find interesting").

As it's a little unsettling to me that other people find it horrifying that people like me found the article interesting, any details would be appreciated.

I just decided to look. 6809 card for PET became the Super Pet. So yeah, I want one.

I like 6809 computers for when I want to have some retro fun.
I tend to agree with GP about the terminology. I opened the article with the expectation of reading about GPS or WiFi/Bluetooth beacons or some such.

I find it outrageous but unsurprising (and thus even more outrageous) that this is happening, but the "map" here doesn't seem warranted.
There's a difference between someone saying the premise of the joke doesn't make sense and not finding it funny. It seems like it went over someone's head if they say "Yeah, but oil isn't sold that way" versus saying "That joke wasn't funny."
Seems like a challenging project. I remember OS/2 fondly, and I remember (and have heard tales of) its stability. Still, I have read stories that claim the source code was a hot mess of hacks and liberally sprinkled assembly code.

Apart from “hacks and glory” (which for the record is a fine justification), I don’t imagine that this project would have a lot of utility. While some old ATMs and some other legacy applications run on OS/2, I’d guess that attaining the degree of compatibility needed to satisfy those applications would be an extremely tall mountain to climb.

I think there are a lot of us who remember computing of the 1990s and early 2000s fondly as being a time where you could discover an operating system that was new or novel in some way. Combine that with the fact that computers felt less laggy, and mostly used the same UI across applications (looking at you electron), and I share the nostalgia.

I guess what I’m saying is that an OSS OS/2 is cool, and its authors should have songs sung about them, but this isn’t the right foundation to build a modern OS on.
What I don't understand is why the sudden move today? Did the longs think they had a place to put the oil on Friday but found out over the weekend they had no place to put it? Just seems like you would know what to do with the oil on Friday.

Show HN: Donation-Based Livestream Yoga Classes from Local Studios and Teachers
https://find.yoga
Hi friends, I built a searchable master schedule of yoga and meditation classes from local teachers and studios. It crawls available classes from studio schedules, and individual teachers can also add their offerings. Everything is search based so you can search for the type of class (yin, vinyasa, meditation, etc) or can search for free or donation if these are the most important factors. It's very much a work in progress but hopefully allows folks to find some options to support their physical and mental health and support local teachers and studios at the same time. Feedback very welcome, thanks for taking a look.
That’s how the ruling class always tended to operate. History is full of examples where the peasants were starving and the rulers spent a lot of money on squashing insurgencies instead of just feeding the people. If you only care about your profit this may make sense.
TCP/IP Meltdown
The big advantage of not having to deal with unions is being able to quickly make changes in reaction to changing market conditions.
It could be like "kryptonite", I suppose.
Exactly. And how would Google know whether this would improve add recenue? They have never created and tested it.
I suspect their job has gotten way harder. It's easy to forget that they aren't just passively indexing. The web is basically google's adversary, with every page trying to be top ranked regardless of whether it "should" be.

> For example, see the "Karen" meme, which besides its horrible sexism, specifically focuses on white women.

"Angry black woman" was a trope looooooooooong before Karen hit your screen. If you only care about meanness when it's targeted at white people, then this is not a meme problem; this is a you problem.

That sounds awesome! I don't have a VR rig set up and am looking to build a PC and have some spec I can share. How do you hook up VR peripheral with the cloud?
We can't really blame them for having tried.

That was a killer idea. Get dedicated hardware, with all the security and performance consistency it implies, for even cheaper than a VM instance.

And when it was introduced, it was really a game changer. And it worked really well.

Unfortunately, Docker images were and still are mostly for x86_64, and that didn't make adoption easy in spite of their efforts to help improve the situation.

The hardware eventually didn't prove to be as reliable as expected, so moving to more traditional hardware was a safe route to go.

Sad, but the instance types they have remain very compelling. The DEV1-S instance is only $2.99, with unmetered bandwidth.

I just moved two ARM64 instances to a DEV1-S. Same price, and even though that instance type has only 2 virtual cores instead of 4, it is actually much snappier ARM64 instances. Plus, I can scale up if necessary, while that wasn't really an option with ARM64 CPUs.
I applied several times and they never did. :)
I remember reading about growing these mushrooms online at some point. The article strongly cautionend against it unless you know very well what you are doing. Growing any kind of mushroom has the potential to also grow nasty and very unhealthy molds and bacteria. You can easily kill yourself by ingesting those, if you are not very careful to avoid contamination. This is absolutely not taken to be lightly and proper lab procedures would for example require you to perform the inoculation in a glove box.
I strongly recommend you to consider cybersecurity. I believe that you not only will have a chance to compete with typicals but you will have an edge.

The shell is a pretty awesome place to be in if you asked me.
> Do a static website, add a little bit of vanilla JS, want to refresh parts of the pages ? It's called Ajax.

Before you become sarcastic, try to check out what Gatsby is.
Gatsby is a static website generator that makes bunch of static HTML leaves a bit of vanilla JS, and progressively enhances the site.

> Things were done simple, no need to reinvent everything each time :)

Things are there for a reason, why not just go to the 70s/80s where there was no networking, servers, or bloated JS?
I think, looking at shirt without stripes and shirt with out stripes in Google images, that without is decompounded, which then ends up giving you shirt with stripes, however the slight difference between the two searches "shirt without stripes" and "shirt with out stripes" is that the there are some exact hits mixed in also, so there are some results for "shirt without stripes" mixed in with the decompounded query.

Just my theory.
> take games that already run on windows

I believe this is in reference to games that no longer run on modern versions of Windows.
All the best. Hope it works out for you
Yeah, same here. In fact, I do this very often and as soon as I get on or off a bus. Don't know if I started this as a conscious thing or not, but now it's completely automatic.

Once I slapped my pockets after leaving a bus and felt a missing wallet at the same time the bus took off. That was a horrible feeling, like getting shaken out of a dream or something, I became hyper aware of the present. Until I realized I for once put the wallet in my breast pocket since it was crowded :)
Union certification?

I know that I've seen union badges on employee uniforms in the public sector. Maybe not at the uniform level, but even a plaque or playing it up in advertising now that buy local is a massive thing.

(Of course, half the US population seems to reflexively shudder at the word "union" these days, so how successful this would be is... debatable.)
My boyfriend has a more amusing (and slightly inappropriate) version of this, but oddly enough doesn't mention keys or phone in his version.

>I am guessing that traders who are still holding on to contracts and don’t have available storage have to unload contracts pretty quickly.

Good call! Now it’s about $5.30, and has dipped as low as $4.04. (Insert joke about “energy market not found”.)

Edit: wow. Just wow. Below $1 a barrel and kissed $0.01 at one point! That’s gotta be a record.
Those stats are a little misleading. Only 18% of employees work at businesses with fewer than 20 employees. And of course most businesses are smaller - it's a lot easier to spend an afternoon filling out "LLC in a box" forms than it is to create a "large" business!
What exactly would happen if it was a material negative impact on their revenue and they didn't fix it?

If Google isn't under survival pressure to get better (and they aren't) the incentives aren't aligned for them to improve or even to not get worse every year.

If Google is failing first gradually then suddenly it might not even be within the institutional power to notice how bad it's become before it's too late.
I had done this some years ago but it was completely private and I used it for summarizing news and informing me about certain events and shove a stuff in couchbase for future analysis. Kind of lost interest at some point so I scrapped it.

Looking at yours(This has become some sort of a habit at this point but first thing I did was scroll through the code) the first thing that struck me were the 55 dependencies. Woah...
I hope that I never see the "Have disk" button again. The Linux way of distributing hardware drivers is so much easier.

As for usage, linux on the desktop is between .5% and 2% market share. And there reason to suspect that Linux usage is undercounted.

They are - at best - heat mapping stores, not employees. And heat map have a sense of density over a region, it is by definition continuous values where the area has a major impact on the final value.

Here they just rate each store. If this is considering "heat mapping". Then basically anything that gives score to stuff that can be placed on a map is also "heat mapping". This includes :

- Your company "heat mapping" their clients according to the revenue they generate

- The US department of education "heat mapping" the students based on the SAT scores

- My mom "heat mapping" her next holiday destination based on price

When we think about heat-mapping a person, we immediately imagine tracking where that person spends time. Until I read the article, I was imagining whole food setting up cameras in their store to see if employees spend time congregating. And that would be a horrible thing to do. But giving points to stores based on - among other signals - how many sales they generate. Well... that is the least worrying thing I read all day.

So the whole point of the article is to instill fear into the reader by - willingly - using the wrong terminology to give a bad image to a known company - even going as far as adding "Amazon-owned", just for the sake of it - until the astute reader notice of deceiving the article really is.

And if you did not take the time to fully read their "article" (I have other words that are far less nice to describe that kind of writing) well your judgment of a company just got biased without any ground.
How many people do you know who aren't white nationalists have gotten a 1488 tattoo?

The whole point of these signals is that they seem innocuous, but practically no one is going to signal them in other contexts. So you have the vague auspices of plausible deniability when pushed, but nearly 100% specificity too.
I filled my car in Wisconsin for the first time in 2 months at $0.989 for 87 octane. I think the last time I paid that price the attendant filled it for me.
Sorry. I meant the assumed point of the OP.
Yeah, but I liked the domain, it reminded me of 60's rock bands I like.
Ethanol has a much higher octane rating than conventional fuel so mixing it in with regular fuel provides for a higher octane rating without needing more additives.

That would be cool, but I doubt that was the original intent, given how old that logo is and that the "red handle" is just a valve, simply referencing the company name.
Hey, as long as it's cheap, just throw more workers at the meat grinder.
I liked both and they seemed like good first starts from what I saw. Never got to personally try them so my knowledge is pretty limited.
He probably meant "more spicier". Second image for "now one with stripped this time please" yielded image that is linked to article about deep-fake nudes.
Server platforms always had more RAM channels and hence 128GB+ options though? Last time I seriously considered purchasing some bragging rights few years back, retired 192GB Xeon jet engines were like $350 on eBay.

Also I wonder if 64GB limit is enforced or simply listed as max tested, there are 32GB non-ECC Unbuffered modules these days. That's 256GB populated on 8 slots.
The most common theory is that it's the Denuvo anti-piracy software. It's known to cause performance drops on Windows, and it often has to be bypassed or disabled in Linux games.
Are you saying we could ride drones on Titan?
I think he/she's being sarcastic - there's general tendency to regard google's version of "ai" as better?
Thanks that's exactly the kind of terminology I was lacking :)
Marc's article was calling for things like building delivery drones and automating vaccines, which would be fantastic, but we're not living in a world where that's feasible right now. It was interesting, I agree, but as this response points out, there's more pressing matters right now like homelessness and internet access.
African countries to benefit from Covid-19 clinical R&D
I don't know the specific numbers but this jump is definitely possible.

Let's say the false-negative rate is 0% and the false-positive rate is 2%. For sake of argument, let's say that 0.05% actually have Covid. If you tested 10000, 5 people have it in reality but your testing would show that 205 people tested positive.
> pay their staff half

Half?
I wonder why they suggest that racial diversity has an inverse relationship with union formation. Is this because of a broader range of employee perspectives on work? Are employees in diverse environments less comfortable talking to one another? Both? Something else?
In search we know it’s easy to cherry pick queries and criticize any search engine. A search engine is optimizing for billions of queries. Most of which are on the long tail.

The real question is “shirts without stripes” really a query people enter? Or representative of a real pattern in the data?
I found it somewhat ironic that this post is below the post titled, "Ask HN: I'm a software engineer going blind, how should I prepare?"
It’s called super contango.

And storage has not run out yet. Cushing is not full. The problem is traders are anticipating storage will become very expensive as remaining capacity decreases, so if you’re holding on to May contracts and you’re not using the oil because there’s a glut right now then you’re going to be paying a lot more to keep storing the oil for future months as storage costs go up. The huge discount reflects that cost.
Because not letting your own citizens enter your country is something very few countries do willfully.

As I mentioned in the previous post, they now quarantine them in dedicated facilities for 2 weeks.
I would say this is largely because business management and ownership are only interested in short term returns. They have an extreme amount of incentive to only return "now," with no thought as to the true cost. That is to say, they won't be around long enough for the externalities to materialize on the balance sheet so they don't care.

/shrug it's a fairly shitty world we live
