Some of awks stengths are iterative development, pattern matching and integration with other tools. A databases strengths are data consistency, concurrency (multiple readers/writers), transactions, efficiency. So the problem itself is playing to awks strengths and doesn't require the strengths of a database. With a database you'd usually have much more analysis upfront, work out the appropriate data types, work out what is nullable, work out the exceptions to the rules, work out your indexes, etc which isn't great for this type of quick and dirty problem. It also looks like most scripts are culling the dataset on input instead of at processing time which is more efficient.

I don't think it's really displayed here because everything is run through swift, but it can also compose much better with other tools, a database frequently won't have cli tools that integrate well (not sure about postgres). There are 322 source files being globbed for instance, move that to a make file and you can automatically re-run without wasting time on data already processed. If it was in a database you'd have to track source files and manage changes somehow.

> At first glance, that's an awful lot of hardware for a ... decently sized but not awfully large dataset. We're dealing with datasets that size at 32G or 64G of RAM, just a wee bit less.

Note that it doesn't require that much memory, it's just using it to boost performance because it's available, this could have been developed on a dual core 4GB laptop outputting to spinning rust and all that would change is the directory it's output to (and running time), but the same machine may choke on database queries over that much data.
The lure of more business for local restaurants. An uptick in orders and free advertising could certainly help!

The lure of a weekend job for drivers. I've done it and made out pretty well on my motorcycle for a few hours on the weekend.

consumers love apps and they love being able to have visibility into the status of their orders. They want to shop online for food and have it appear without of phone call, or to discover new restaurants around them. Sometimes they have favorite sit down restaurants that aren't take out spots - but know they might have a listing on a fancier food delivery service.

App creators: take a cut off of everything on the top without actually inventing or doing anything. A logistics company elsewhere caught charging this much would be laughed out of the room but in a new and exciting field there's a lot of room for markup.

Cheers!

* If someone criticized newspapers for yellow journalism and inciting violence with sensationalism, would it seem so weird to push the newspapers to "essentially become fact-checkers for the content posted" on them?

* Is the way that people view large public figures on social media all that different than how they did with newspapers?

I think it is important that there is a diversity of avenues toward publishing, so that incorrectly judged messages / messages that the population disagrees about the harm of can still be published somewhere, but it's never been easier than now to publish things to the web even without the help of a specific individual platform like Facebook. The web isn't just Facebook.

Yes, the fire mission (FM) will be opened by the FO (Forward Observer), and then they'll drop the callsigns - so something like this:

21, grid 12345678, range 1000, bearing 3759, over.

The state's power is not just fear alone, it's legitimacy. What stops people from looting under normal circumstances is the belief that looting is wrong and will be punished, and people will agree punishment was justified.

Failing to respond to looting damages the state's legitimacy. Responding to looting and failing to stop it damages the state's legitimacy. Even responding to looting and successfully stopping it damages the state's legitimacy, because mass looting signals that looting has become more acceptable.

I am in a similar position but what keeps me from thinking about early retirement is not knowing what will be my financial needs in the future, and I'm concerned that I might not be fully aware of the role that luck played in getting a cushy life.

It seems like you have an implied view that some particular policies constitute non-policies, and others constitute policies. I think that you haven't succeeded in either communicating or justifying this point, which is why all these discussions are going in circles.

There's a certain symmetry to, say, FDR in the USA suggesting "maybe we should consider a new public policy restricting certain private business activities" with his New Deal and, say, Lenin in the USSR suggesting "maybe we should consider a new public policy allowing certain private business activities" with his New Economic Plan.

It seems like most of the users here have acknowledged that both of these constitute public policy changes. In fact, we could even imagine a scenario where passing one act is equivalent to repealing the other.

To say that both changes would require extremely high confidence, just "because they affect everybody", doesn't seem rational on this regard. Either the evidence supports one thing over the other, or it doesn't.

But I think you're taking a different view -- that there's a default anarchy / state of nature policy, that should be favoured with a very high prior, and any policy to deviate from it would require a much higher certainty than doing the opposite. Is that your position?
>I tried a new place recently, only to find out I had been duped by Grub-hub

So you found a new restaurant, the restaurant found a new customer, and grub-hub is cut out of the (future) picture. Didn't grubhub earn that commission in this case?

I have no love (or hate) for grub-hub... but it seems like a business hired a salesperson on commission, knowing full well the parameters of the deal, and then gets upset when they actually bring in sales.

In most other industries the restaurant would be considered the 'bad guy' for trying to take the business direct and cheating the rep out of a commission.

I guess key here is ‘can retire’. Personally I like working and cannot see myself retiring, ever, but I could’ve for quite a while already. I just have 100 ideas a day I want to build and have had that for well over 30 years now; why would I stop? Not to mention that almost everyone who I know who retired (rich or not) is bored and depressed...
My statement might have come across as harsh I understand that these kinds of businesses take a huge amount of blood, sweat, and tears; Especially since the ROI is often not really that great. It takes all the energy you have to run just the shop let alone comply with the city, county, state, and country regulations, source inventory, promote yourself, etc.

It doesn't surprise me they are getting exploited with the overwhelming mountain of stuff they need to manage. The small margins mean it's very hard to hire staff to distribute work too.

I think that’s a little unfair. The executive branch has always taken more and more power. Obama was guiltily of it. Bush was guilty of it. And nearly every president before them.

The expansion of executive powers us usually makes sense to the party in power, and doesn’t make sense to the minority party. But there was always an understanding that everyone was a rational actor with these powers. No one ever stopped and asked what would happen if someone a little more irrational now had these expanded powers.

> I meant that LE is largely not accepting any blame right now.

Well, multiple people have been fired and imprisoned. And investigations are on the way to probably arrest and imprison more cops.

Mental health is probably a small part of the picture of civilian-on-police violence, unless you consider anyone who considers it a good idea to kill a police officer as intrinsically mentally unhealthy.

> If the guns were so scary, we'd see similar reactions every time a group of open-carry white protesters show up on the streets

Cops aren't generally worried about open carry nuts, because they are mostly a known quantity. I'd imagine getting shot at a routine traffic stop or doing a domestic violence call is much more on the mind of your average officer than getting attacked by someone open carrying.
I find the bigger issue to be the videos of police doing nothing to thwart blatant vandalism, and the contrast of those videos with the unprovoked attacks on what appear to be peaceful protesters.

The “politically convenient group” seems to be anyone being destructive, like ...

https://twitter.com/SARAHKSTUDIO/status/1267371809084567554/...

... white women?

The sum of causing unnecessary damage and turning a blind eye to vandalism at least gives me confidence that there is a desire by many police officers to see property destroyed.

From that I can only guess at what the reasoning might be, but given that we’ve seen this method of undermining protests in the past, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume racist intent until there is evidence that begins to support an alternative conclusion.
The fact that it's JSON rather than a nice little window isn't the main issue. That's not great UI, but it's not the biggest pain point of the UX. For comparison, Sublime uses JSON settings too, but it doesn't require a PhD in Sublime Text to figure out what you can actually configure in that file. I seem to recall VSCode had JSON at some point for some things too (though not sure where it is now, I don't see it). It wasn't exactly fantastic, which I assume is why they've provided a better UI for the settings now, but it was usable. They actually described the options available to you right there. And of course they have their own benefits with regards to portability and shareability like you said. Those are all fine. The problem is Windows Terminal on the other hand seems to go out of its way to make your life hard for no reason, in a manner I have never seen another terminal emulator do. For the life of me I don't get what people like about it. It seems terrible on every axis I can measure on.
The price is not determined by hashrate, but hashrate is nevertheless an important metric for the market to determine the price.

An altcoin that has insufficient hashrate is highly vulnerable to attacks and if its price were to rise, those attacks would become profitable.

Therefore, you need enough hashrate to make attacks unprofitable right away. A Raspberry Pi is not going to cut it.

Is Hacker News downranking protest content?
I've seen quite a few highly upvoted pieces of content over the last few days vanish off the front page much faster than posts usually would. Like most of the time, popular posts tend stay near the top of the frontpage (or at least on the frontpage) for a matter of hours, or in the cases of the most popular content, up to a day. It seems content even tangentially related to the protests, e.g. posts with political valence like this one, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23397868, leave the frontpage within a few hours.

Is yc attempting to limit the amount of political discussion?
This blog post doesn't seem to mention how long the process took - that's what I'm most interested in!
I have a bit of a different take on things than you're voicing.

Right now we have a bunch of (dine-in restaurant) businesses whose models have been disrupted by both the pandemic and government action; many of these restaurants have responded by emulating an adjacent type of business (delivery restaurants). The real problem is that the dine-in restaurants have a cost structure which does not allow them to compete with the delivery restaurants. Dine-in restaurants rely on fewer customers with higher average bills, and more profitable items on orders (especially liquor). Dine-in restaurants also have expensive facilities, due to rent, tax, and maintenance expenses.

You cannot successfully transform a dine-in restaurant into a delivery (or take-out) restaurant by simply putting the food in bags.

Because all of the other companies and CEOs that have pledged support for this social justice issue didn't spend the their posts boasting about the company and their statistics.

If this company wanted to simply pledge their support they could have done so with just the last two paragraphs of this post. Instead we see things like:

This post reads like just another pissing contest for them.
> Stopping traffic risks the lives of people in ambulances so it’s pretty hard to condone that.

Social media is clogged with live footage from the protests. Can you find a single video of an ambulance being stopped by protests?

The irony of your comment is that the likelihood of an ambulance being close to a protest is linked to the extreme violence that the police is using to attack and repress protests against police violence.

Protests are inconvenient. But if you can amass enough people day after day to block major intersections with crowds of people, then the correct thing to do is to block major intersections with crowds of people day after day.

If people don't want their intersections blocked by crows of people day after day, then they should consider the extent to which their interests are compatible with the interests of the protesters, and if necessary and reasonable, consider joining the protesters to help them achieve their goal sooner. If seventy percent of the US population were protesting, the protests wouldn't last that long - unlike in Hong Kong.
