Like a lot of the comments here hint at, most of these places do t care at all to be up to trend on the latest plug-in integrated junk.

They could probably use a hand with making their product easier to buy, but the margins are tight and no one wants another Yelp.

Show them how you’re going to help them make more sales, or pay less on fees for the sales they make.

Not everyone needs ML/NLP/freespace/Kubernetes/feature flags (Bingo!), but they’d probably benefit from using Stripe
Historically extensions have moved faster than the companies.

Also I highly doubt Google will ever change the utm parameter name. There’s thousands of JS libraries that extract it and use it for various additional analytics, hosted blog/wordpress hackery. and e-commerce/payment plugins that inject it across iframes and other stuff.

Plus tons of server side apps that pattern match on utm_ or simply injects them into urls and views.

It’d be a nightmare for tons of businesses which have complicated setups which reuse or inject the token for conversion tracking alone, not including all the other stuff.

I'm building it. You host it (either in your local computer or on a cloud droplet that you own), so your data stays yours.

This last beta release is free in exchange for your feedback, then there will be free and paid subscription tiers. Here's what's coming: https://photostructure.com/about/v-0-8/

Here's why I'm building it, and how it's different: https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/
As I mentioned, you don't have to use unnecessary interfaces with DI (compile time or runtime). You can directly inject your implementation classes. Secondly, huge stack traces are not related to DI either, they're an orthogonal issue.
reits aren't doing well... but you are missing that credit/debt drives the economy not the stock market. And land values are actually the biggest store of wealth... and house prices haven't even registered any effects yet.
Taxi service was absolutely terrible before Uber. You couldn't order a taxi from an app, there were never enough of them, you couldn't figure out what the price was before ordering so there was no direct competition, many localities had an anticompetitive licensing scheme on top of that, and a not insignificant number of drivers would take you the long way during off-peak hours IOT inflate the price.
Just a random idea:

Maybe some people could setup a non-profit platform
to connect delivery driver and restaurants and is focused on transparency?

Operating such a platform shouldn't be to expensive. The major cost (I guess) lies in advertisement and paying people to actually do the delivery.

I believe customer being able to see how much of the price goes to the platform, the delivery driver and the restaurant (maybe required by a law?) would not just open up the eye for unfair practices but also
for understanding why prices are higher when delivering (as it becomes clear that 3 parties instead of one need to live from the money).

Given how many complains against delivery services cropped up in the recent half year on hacker news it maybe might be time for (small&mid-sized) restaurants to organize?
The 30% doesn't subsidize the shipping at all? How expensive is to to upload a picture of a menu, have someone keep an eye on a cell phone for text messages, and take credit card payments if you want to go cashless. Surely the benefit of having a "verified" payment method doesn't outweigh the shrink that would be caused by having people pay on delivery or run it through Square or something. Setup a shopify or literally anything.

30% might be worth it if the only way people will discover you is if they search "pizza" into an app and you have the highest rating within the first three results, but if people are seeking out your restaurant as returning customers then you shouldn't need to pay 30% for a very expensive ad.
You can just search for 'Coronaviridae' instead. The overwhelming majority of people searching for coronavirus want pandemic news.
"Your house has doubled in value and now if you sell it you have to pay capital gains tax before you can buy an equally overpriced house in San Francisco."

That is a maybe. If op bought another "qualifying" property, he will not have to pay capital gains.
Totally off topic, but I was wondering if you have looked at Coconut, a kind of ML Lite that compiles to Python? And if so, what do you think?

Are you still mainly programming in Scala? Do you see yourself programming in your current language in 5 years?
To me it’s probably just the multiple meanings that are confusing.

Reading the replies in this thread I realize that to a lot of people it seems to mean a certain aesthetic (I.E. blocky pseudo-retro game graphics). Nothing wrong with that.

I guess I fall into the traditionalist camp. Pixel art to me is about working against fixed limitations to create an illusion of more colours, higher resolution etc.
A few years before I started working, I read Average is Over. Made a good case that labor power's decline would ramp up ever further. People like to poo-poo AI, but I have been following AI since the dark times before 2012. Winograd schemas, style transfer, GTP-2, image recognition - it is hard for people now to understand how impossible these tasks seemed at the time. The rate of progress is insane and it is foolish to bet against it.

Perhaps we are approaching a time where capital can be converted directly into labor in a way that scales. If this is the case the market is ridiculously undervalued, almost comically so.

I have maintained high savings rates and acquired capital ever since I read that book, regardless of valuations. I consider my portfolio insurance against this scenario.
Folds are not complicated. They are just not familiar to the intended readers.

The changed version is idiomatic in image processing or similar areas that deal with pixels. Being idiomatic makes it familiar to read, and easy to change.
Uber Eats isn’t really in the business of delivering food, it’s in the business of discounting the cost of food delivery. If your favourite local restaurant raised investment to be able to reduce their prices to below cost they would have a queue of people at the door... but would they be thriving? The moment Uber Eats can’t afford to continue to subsidise the cost of their food delivery model they won’t be “thriving” any more and local players will fill the vacuum.
Regardless of what you think about what working in a warehouse entails, the article itself states that the hazard pay was instituted for the warehouse workers for coming in during the pandemic. There is no way you can cut that pay while the stated reason for that hazard pay is still extant, and claim that it is not a pay cut in real terms.
Yeah I feel like the “people shouldn’t profit from catastrophe” thing is a big part of why it’s still hard to get PPE (no one can justify extra manufacturing etc.)
Because that's what the market says is important --- and the market is just the average of the true preferences we individually reveal through our spending choices. The market isn't just some abstraction: it's the will of all of us combined. And who is the author of this article to override this will?
PS: Just for clarification I mean the major operating costs. There is a higher upfront cost in properly bootstrapping this platform.
The author doesn't seem to have any ideas on how to help restaurants thrive too. A cap on Grubhub fees isn't going to save most restaurants. He just wants to bring the pain on food delivery apps too, which will improve the situation by... sympathetic magic?

I feel bad sniping at him, because I agree with the general principle that the economics of the restaurant industry are worse than they ought to be. But this genre of social reform take, "we must smash this business because it's doing well when others aren't", is just incredibly toxic.
And here I thought the 'acid to water' rule was only so you would have water splashing instead of acid. TIL (and I was a chemistry undergrad)

There are negative effects of shutdowns, yes. I would argue that the case hasn't been made that allowing the virus to run rampant among society is the lesser of two evils.

Given the risk level, on an average basis, the question seems to be, "Are you willing to kill off either yourself, or more likely someone you know, so that we can all enjoy the ability to go stand in stores?"

A large percentage of the population (doesn't even have to be anywhere near a majority) is going to answer "No" to that question. Regardless of lockdowns, regardless of what the government says they are allowed to do. People will maintain their own personal "shutdowns" regardless of how the government (or those who assess the risk differently) tell them to feel.
Ah, I misread it. Interesting concept but the point is sort of moot since a virus can't specifically target people who dont work. Sure, a virus can be more likely to be fatal in older people, but there are still a lot of older people who work, and enough unproductive young people that i still think it would be a net negative.
The stock market is nothing more than a casino of supply and demand. It is not rational and is based on nothing more than greed and fear. It has absolutely nothing to do with the “economy”.
Because they can save my credit card for all restaurants.
Sitting on long haul flights also SIGNIFICANTLY increases the risk of blood clots, just like thousand other things in life. That’s why it’s important to not be a fat McDonalds eating potato and be active in life and look after your health so when a virus makes you ill you’re not gonna crumble and die.

No news here, just normal life, everything has consequences, unfit people die earlier, that’s how nature works in general.

EDIT: Just to clarify, not saying that any death is less tragic, just that this is really not news worthy. It’s pretty well understood that blood clots can happen when people are ill and even when they are not ill, and the fatter one is the higher the chance of this happening. Journalists really scrape for any BS to write about recently.
Wait until you hear about International Phonetic Alphabet.
Someone put this together in NYC: https://www.eatnyc.org/

"EatNYC.org is an updated list of restaurants that are still open for pickup and delivery in New York City*. Ordering directly ensures restaurants keep 100% of what you pay. "
The biggest time waste for me is the distraction caused by working in a cubicle without a door.

What I'm saying is that auto is very useful and not an exotic or niche feature, it just works the best when not using it in places where a type definition is already small or direct.

This usually means types that are from inside the scope of another class. Compound types that are used frequently can actually be aliased.

Also writing programs that are clear when reading from plain text is great, but I don't think that should ever be a higher priority then what it is like to work with inside an IDE. The days of writing programs with notepad are over thankfully. Languages aren't the only way to make programming easier and aren't even where the low hanging fruit is. People get caught up in languages, but tools can help much more without the herculean effort of redoing decades of work, so I lean on them whenever possible.
Errors in SwiftUI are significantly better in the recently released Swift 5.2, so this is clearly something they’re working on.
Let's see how well that works when the government actively tries to undermine the process.
This article is misguided, based on a false premise. Food delivery apps are not thriving, if thriving means making big profits.

GrubHub's stock price isn't much different from where it was 5 years ago. UberEats isn't expected to turn a profit for another five years as they continue to lose money on every order.

There are no monopolies here taking advantage of restauranteurs. There's an entire ecosystem of food delivery apps competing with each other.

The reality of the situation is that delivering meals is extremely expensive. It doesn't have meaningful economies of scale the way package delivery does. Both restaurants and customers have to pay these huge delivery fees because that's just what delivery costs. (In fact, many are still being subsidized by massive VC.)

Running a restaurant is always a precarious business proposition in the first place. Adding delivery is another precarious choice -- you can massively increase revenue but only at the cost of massively decreasing profit percentage, and if you don't calculate exactly right it'll seem like a big waste-of-time wash in the end, or you'll even lose money. That's just how it works.

I have tons of sympathy for restaurant owners, but just because it's hard -- not because they're being taken advantage of, because they're not.

But laws that restrict the ability of food delivery apps to charge what the market will bear isn't going to solve anything. They don't have these extra profits lying around they can just moderately reduce. The inevitable result will be them dropping the restaurants that are least profitable for delivery entirely, and reducing deliverypeople so your food will take two or three times as long to deliver. That's just Econ 101 -- if your revenue is reduced to where there's no path to profit, you need to cut quality. End of story.
Definitely not. But the problem is not that delivery realistically may cost $10-15 to pay for itself, it's that it's coming from the restaurant's margins and being hidden from the customer.

If the fees were real, the restaurant wouldn't need to care about pickup vs delivery, but the apps would lose some business because $15 is a good reason to do pickup.

I thought the capital gains exclusion ended at 500k? Because if a house in SF doubled in value, the gain is likely more than that.
There will always be places that are safer, more fun, better schools, etc. Proximity to work opportunities is only one factor. Also, commercial real estate can shift to co-working spaces which will have higher demand as more companies move remote (many people prefer that than working from home, esp if it's a short commute and paid by their company). I think the biggest impact would be on the suburbs as families would have more flexibility in picking where to live. We'll likely see some price drops but as he mentioned I don't think we will see dramatic price drops. Not to mention that most companies still plan to go back to the office when things reopen. Might be too early to make predictions about remote work.
In case anyone else is confused about some of the internal links appearing to be broken (e.g. the Scope Variables link), the content is on the second page.

Surely it can’t be changing so much that it’s impossible to produce an accessible explanation of the fundamentals.

For comparison, it took about four years from Voevodsky formulating the univalence axiom to the publication of the HoTT book.
It feels a bit like reading about the industrial revolution, when masses of destitute workers were exploited by rich factory owners. Their salary was just barely enough to keep them alive and their work perfectly fungible: for any worker that decided the deal wasn't good enough there was a queue of others in wait.

Eventually the workers improved their condition through massive and coordinated strikes that entirely blocked the production and prevented anyone to replace them until their requests were met.

(On the other hand the fact that delivery apps are funded by VC money and don't turn profits either sounds even more ominous: does it mean that consumer spending is fuelled by debt and still not producing profit for anyone involved?)
Your take itself is a judgement. Does a company indulging in non-coerced commerce (i.e. voluntary) make it virtuous? Why is questioning the efficacy, for society, of the economic models of any company considered immoral?

Capitalist enterprises are neither immoral (left) nor moral (right). They just happen to be the most efficient - read easy to cobble together. It does not mean they are the best outcome for society.
Loss of a home or an insurance can be temporary.

That's the common sense reasoning before you start studying urban economics.

The idea that you just hire good people, then place them somewhere chap but nice separated from others kills all the subtle agglomeration effects.
Imagine an internet where small businesses don’t have websites anymore. Their only options are to be listed on DoorDash and GrubHub.

Of course people go to websites still. I find your question uninformed.
I think you may be conflating the cooks, waitresses etc. who are certainly not lazy, with the management who tend to be lazy and set in their old ways, not willing to innovate unless absolutely forced to. I suspect the OP had the latter category in mind.
This subsystem will configure an FPGA attached to your host by sending it a bitstream you provide. You still have to use your FPGAs vendor tools to generate the bitstream.

One popular use case is for System-on-Chip (SoC) designs that pair a Processor System (PS) with Programmable Logic (PL); once the PS is running the kernel, the FPGA Manager can be used to program the PL fabric from kernel space.

FPGA Manager has another handy feature for FPGA images that implement new peripherals on buses like SPI, I2C, PCI, AXI, etc. These devices are not "discoverable" in the sense that they are capable of communicating to the kernel what driver must be loaded to support them. So in along with a bitstream, FPGA Manager accepts a device tree overlay which indicates to the kernel what drivers to load for the new resources implemented by the configured FPGA. This causes the kernel to probe the requisite drivers after the FPGA configuration has completed. The FPGA manager can also unload drivers for devices implemented in an FPGA that is being reconfigured.

Unfortunately, in LTS kernels 4.9 and 4.14, while SoC vendors include support for their own PL targets, the FPGA Manager subsystem was written as a singleton; once you've configured e.g, the PL, you can't configure additional peripheral FPGAs.
FWIW, in my experience a big factor of this is poor configuration, especially around permissions/ACLs getting out of control. That and deranged addons.
I'm sorry I'm not trying to be obtuse here. I would genuinely like to understand your point of view.

I'm not sure if you were the one who downvoted me here but it hardly seems fair to downvote someone for having a different point of view.
I think they in the parent comment means customers.
I would have thought the fact that splashing IPA over your skin makes it turn white-ish and gives it a weird texture should be a pretty big pointer for people to not do that but I guess people are people.

You can always "unikernelize" the JVM. OSv had a kernel-optimized JVM for example.
This project is great

You also need to sign-in to Jira to view the linked page. Grrrr
I'm sure that helped reduce the costs and timeframe associated with developing and building it, then.
Check your database integrity, you probably have some bad indexes in there. Which brings me to the major point about why atlassian products suck.. you have no support if you are not within a current version. If you were like a shop I was once at, where you can’t upgrade every 3 weeks then develop a DB inconsistency that prevents future upgrades but don’t have the manpower to address it so then you end up 2 years behind and the inconsistency is now 5000 objects in the past that requires deep massaging. Atlassian support is still MIA, and I’m not talking about where the Heat play at. You find an obscure thread that mentions data loss so you balk at the idea and go another 6 months into upgrade debt when you hit a show stopper. Jira won’t start because of that inconsistency that is now 7200 objects in arrears. You go back to that forum post and attempt the steps. You have to manually repair the inconsistencies. 3 hours later jira starts but now calls are rolling in about missing links. You spend the next week addressing the known issues then let it fall to the back burner.

Nope. Fuck jira. Let’s not talk about the hell that is Confluence. If you must use it then don’t self host it, let them deal with managing their garbage product.
Unikernels could also be the next phase of cloud orchestration technologies. They would be truly lightweight VMs, and obviate the need for containers (collapse the VM orchestration and container orchestration layers into a single orchestration layer). This would offer better security and better performance without impacting developer/operator friendliness. And a side note about improved performance, in the cloud space, being able to boot in ten ms means you can start a VM in the scope of a single request, which means you can scale up dynamically without keeping a bunch of VMs running idle in the background just in case your traffic spikes. This is real, significant cost savings for cloud providers and customers.
This is why you should have completely distinct systems, install the creative software on separate system, with no capabilities.
They can be faked to an extent with structs, but the reality of default arguments is that you have to be aware of them anyway so that you don't get behavior you don't expect. When there are default arguments you are building up assumptions and expectations that can become problems when they aren't right.
Asset price inflation and real inflation are two very different things. Asset price inflation has undoubtedly increased.
Because the 70% of the population who thinks it’s necessary won’t take you seriously if it’s missing. Sad but true.
Did you even read the article?

> In the past few days, workers tested positive for covid-19 at Amazon warehouses and shipping facilities across the country.

> workers complain Amazon hasn’t provided them with enough information about the spread of virus in their facilities

> [a worker] only found out there was an infected co-worker after confronting a human resources staffer in the break room

> Some workers complained that Amazon pushes them to meet the per-hour rate at which it wants orders fulfilled, a practice that they worry discourages safe sanitary practices such as washing hands after a cough or sneeze. Others have complained about “stand-up” meetings, where workers stand shoulder-to-shoulder at the start of each shift.

All of these support the notion that working in a warehouse is risky during the pandemic.

In any case, how does the proportion of people who contracted the coronavirus at work to total number of positive cases so far have to do with anything? If your hypothesis is true (and you've given no evidence for that), it could very likely be because of the lockdowns we've had so far, which have prevented people from going to work in situations where they could've gotten it. Regardless, the proportion has nothing to do with how risky working in a warehouse is in the first place!
Yes, exactly right. We have considerably more than $500k in gains. It's a nice problem to have, but it's still a problem.
What do you mean the didn’t have a plan?
