Ah thanks for pointing this out; it is slightly misleading. Visa is only required if applicants want to work with us in our in-person office in the Bay Area, CA. If they are a non-US citizen we sadly can't sponsor a visa. Though certainly for remote work we wouldn't require it.
Sending out orders and withdrawing them immediately after is market abuse, there is a regulation in Europe against it (MIFID II): the real question about the "whole lot of undesirable consequences" is, to whom? and who would benefit instead?

The truth is that the real effects of algo trading are still poorly understood as a system, and they have been able to crash markets a couple of time in the past, for no reason. Do we really need this form of speculation "because liquidity"?

PERCEPTUALLY slower. meaning, you click on something and you know instantly that at least it's processing, i.e. without perceptually detectable delay. Almost 100% of SPAs (including gmail and "electron" type apps) suck terribly at this, and they pay it with double- and triple- clicks from frustrated/clueless users

> It's actually quite common for exchanges to offer discounts/rebates to firms that trade more

I reworded a bit to give a better idea of what I meant. In general there are bulk discounts but there's always some form of "QoS". Either you get throttled above a ceiling, or you pay through the nose to have that ceiling higher for yourself and have everyone else throttled.

All tiered systems work like this. The fixed price goes up and gives you access to better service, higher limits, lower price per usage, etc. As long as you don't have virtually unlimited capacity you can't treat your system as if you do.

Mobile operators have to do the same. They charge a base contract price that sets the tier, then charge per usage within that tier, give different ceilings, QoS priorities, and throttling rates. And no matter how big you are as a customer at some point you either pay a surcharge or get throttled so the system stays up and other customers are also served. (source: I worked both for a large telco, and for a customer that payed ~3million E per month to get the consumption costs for min/MB down to almost 0).

> I don't know why people always suggest solutions like this when it comes to exchanges.

By any chance do the suggestions always come after the exchange was down due to high transaction volumes? Sure, they could implement unlimited capacity. But since this is a tad unrealistic and actually crashing the system is worse than limiting to keep it just below crashing, perhaps the suggestion makes sense.

There aren't many sectors that I can think of which give you "unlimited usage no matter what". There's "rate limiting" even in hospitals, where lives are at stake.
I believe "kotiert" is a charming Swiss-German word (one of many, like "Velo" instead of "Fahrrad" for bike).

There is patent. So, it is not legal unless countries change patent law.
This reminds me of a system I worked on, the devs all developed locally with all the services but in prod the services were on different hosts and the performance was terrible.

This reminds me of the system I worked on, the devs had promised a 3-tier system but delivered a 2-tier system so management had them add a middle layer and the performance was terrible.

This reminds me of the system I worked on, the devs decided a lockless architecture was the way for better performance but with the limited threads we had at the time, apart from the few people who kept hold of a thread until they were done, the performance was terrible.

This reminds me of the system I worked on, the database design was a serious bottleneck but no one wanted to fix that so the app tier tried to change their queries, the performance was terrible.

I don't know why people spend so much time optimizing the wrong thing - it happens over and over again!
good point, I hadn't considered that idea.
Apple's approach isn't as bad as this title makes it sound.

Mostly because they're aggressive communicators about subscription billing -- they send emails well in advance of any subscription renewal, telling you when you'll be billed, how much for, and giving you a link to cancel the subscription. Makes me feel this isn't them hoping you'll just forget and be billed.

In fact, I'd suspect this is intended as a user-friendly feature. It means you had to be presented with the cost up-front before you began the trial, avoiding letting shadier developers do a bait and switch when the trial expires and the user needs to sign up again. (Not saying there aren't other ways this could be done, but...)
> And it's not like the plane was fundamentally unsound at a design level, but that bean counting

I'm not an airframe designer by any means but from the countless threads that I've read on this website about this subject (coming from people who seemed more knowledgable than me on the subject) it did seem like the plane was fundamentally unsound at a design level.
Looks like this is what Bret Victor is promoting for years: a real-time feedback loop with your code and the outcome.

This would also be very nice for game development as Bret Victor demonstrated multiple times.

great!
I don’t see why this is even a complaint...
Apple sends users notifications before the trial ends and you can easily just cancel.

I guess apps I’ve used already have this auto-billing implemented because I don’t think I’ve confirmed my subscription after the free trial ended and billing began.

Dreadful. I am in a country far from anything I know. I had been applying to jobs everywhere in the EU, only to be refused every time. That was before the plague hit, and the UK officially withdrew from the EU. My local job teaching English died with the pandemic (I'm sure it will come back up when the pandemic stops, but for now I have no income).

I had been making games for mobile since no one else wants to hire me as a programmer, but between making roughly $1.00 on that venture, and the stresses of life, I haven't been able to keep focused on that. Some times I feel that the world feels I am useless, and the problem with feeling like that is that I struggle to keep it from being a self fulfilling prophecy.
Clearly this person never tried to load a program on a C64 with a tape drive. I could make myself lunch and the thing still wouldn't be done, and there was a non-zero chance it would screw up somehow and you'd have to rewind the tape and start it over. Upgrading to floppy wasn't much better, either, before the advent of fast load cartridges.

Contrast that with my current Win 10 install, which on a 3-year old computer goes from "off" to login screen in under 10 seconds.
Disagree about 1983. Though I would agree with maybe around 1999-2003 era. Web browsing was fast in the web 1.0 era.

Curious. I've noticed a number of people using Gödel's incompleteness theorem as a ridiculously stretched metaphor for some idea they're trying to get across. At this point it's gotten utterly cringey to me. It reeks of someone who only recently heard about it, got a conceptual understanding for what it's about, and now want to show off and force the comparison in the first conversation they have. Seems like a more obscure version of the meme that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has become.

This one is the most egregious case I've seen though. It seems like it would be a waste of time to read, so I closed out fairly quickly. Have I misjudged the article?

>I wouldn't hire someone who brags openly on forums about stealing software.

I'd just hire the best person for the job, which in some cases could be the person who has been using Photoshop since they were 12 because they pirated it.

Think it's a pretty puritanical viewpoint to suggest someone was immoral and untrustworthy to the extent that it would compromise their job just because they pirated a few Adobe programs in their youth.

I mean just what sort of other questions are you asking in your interviews for your purity test?
The software support and community of the Raspberry Pi is several orders of magnitude better than anything that exists for the other boards you're mentioning. "Embedded linux capable" is different than having many linux distributions, and other operating systems, treat the boards as a fully supported target.

It's true that RPi owners don't know about a lot of that other stuff, but there are reasons they don't know about them.
I guess the underlying point is that in the same time period CPU speed has increased thousandfold, so you'd expect that to compensate for the few extra features that were added.
I'm not talking about free soft at all, it's completelly separate universe. If you choose paid soft: as for me, if you steal it you are at risk. Also you can always setup firewall and block certain type of requests. Sometimes you can even disable telemetry if that's supported.
If this misunderstands the market, I'd be interested in a positive proof of a channel like History making it as an independent offering. I don't personally know of any.
> the assertion that "almost everything on computers is perceptually slower than it was in 1983" is patently false

Excessively dismissive. It's not so patently false when you recall that applications on personal computers were designed to do much less in 1983 than they are now.

The model gestured at in the assertion is (arguably) one in which perceptual speed is a function of an application's (1) proximity to the outer bounds of a machine's capabilities, and (2) the efficiency of its implementation.

This is elucidating, and a useful contribution.
Great, now you've killed open source.
I can only assume HN has a critical mass of people who weren't alive in 1983 willing to believe the headline assertion. ;)

The comments here read like people with Stockholm syndrome.
Interesting comment. I've been programming for more than 25 years. Have used stuff like GWBASIC, TurboPascal/C , fancy ide like VisualStudio, Eclipse, Netbeans and the new kids like atom or vscode. I even used DDD at some point.

Line debugging becomes less and less valuable as you become more mature in you dev career. Sometimes you have a race condition bug, some times the target architecture just doesn't provide it (devkitpro/devkitarm or embedded) and sometimes bugs that are evident in production just cannot be replicated in your debugging environment.

In my experience it is more valuable to improve skills of building mental models of the system at hand, get effective with console logging for key info and troubleshoot issues that way.
Loading a game from a floopy was much faster than loading a modern game as soon as floppies became popular enough to carry games.

Loading a game from a cardigde (what was usual at the time) was much faster than anything we use now, but this is not a fair comparison.

Personally I have found that on HN there is more of a dictatorship of phrasing than a dictatorship of ideas. Here's the short list of ideas you can't say on HN no matter how you phrase them, I think you would agree that this is not excessive:

- "Individuals of one race are better or worse than individuals of another."

- "One gender is clearly better or worse than another."

- Anything about Republicans or Democrats

The origin of this list is not that the mods are biased, it's that they have a 100% correlation with foaming at the mouth.

As far as I can tell that's the whole list. Anyone care to add to it? Do not repeat the actual arguments, that will start a flame war.

You use the outer derivative which generalizes the curl as well as a few similar constructs. Technically it's slightly different as it returns a bivector (which is a bit like a plane spanned by 2 vectors), but in 3D both vectors and bivectors form a 3D space and you can freely convert between the two. The difference between the divergence and the curl is basically whether you switch between vectors and bivectors before or after you take the outer derivative.

One example.

> On the library computer in 1998 I could retry searches over and over and over until I found what I was looking for because it was quick Now I have to wait for a huge page to load, wait while the page elements shift all over, GOD FORBID i click on anything while its loading

Which completely overlooks how bad search results were 20 years ago compared to now. I would rather see the right result in 500 ms than the wrong result in 20 ms.

Or to take that example even further, I can now perform that same search on my phone, anywhere, instead of having to travel to the library.
> The assumption that science and technology is inherently ethical has unfortunately led to dangerous ideas over the past 150 years.

I think that the underlying assumption is that science and technology are inherently neutral (which isn't true) and that neutrality would be inherently ethical (which also isn't true).
Not necessarily. A refundable deposit is not unheard of. It's a good way to verify that your customer's are truly interested and at least partially capable of paying for the final product.

The cheapest LTO-8 drive I can find is around $3000
I'd pay $80 for tapes if I could get the drive for a couple hundred. I can't afford a drive that costs $3000 plus $80 per tape that I need.

That's not even how much this new 400TB tech is going to cost. At least LTO8 is fairly recent apparently, but it's only 12TB, not 400TB.

My whole point is that this is out of reach for consumers, hence my disappointment. Even the older tech is out of reach.
Your workflow might be ok, others might not. But blaming developers for being "lazy user-space [programmers]" when Linux lacks a feature that Windows and macOS support, and which could cause complications when worked around, is a really unproductive way to hold a discussion on HN.
Might try switching to "ok, cool" for Google Assistant since "hey google" is one of the most awkward/ugly sounding phrases to have to repeat over and over.
Their argument seems to be roughly akin to a claim on the common law's implicit warranty of merchantability. You could also think of it as a "lemon law" claim, maybe.

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out, for Boeing as well as for Norwegian. I doubt they're the only airline that's been considering this kind of action.
I strongly disagree.

Almost every very good programmer I know is very impatient. Due to their impatience they go faster, and going faster all the time leads to making more stuff, which leads to a compounding effect on all the work you do and the knowledge you acquire, which leads to better software.

Getting to a better or equal solution faster is always better, and you need to be impatient to go that way.

The hacking philosophy and its child UNIX are built around people and processes like that.

On a more general note, I think any gatekeeping like this is harmful, do not listen to people telling you to not become $SOMETHING (programmer, engineer, artist...) because you are $SOMETHING (impatient, disabled, a woman...) and do what you want with your life.
The entire airline industry (and travel as a whole) is under incredible stress right now. Many airlines have already gone bankrupt [1], and most others are near the brink. I don't think there's going to be any shortage of lawsuits going forward.

>sending out orders and withdrawing them immediately after is market abuse

It's abuse if it's done for the purpose of manipulating the market (spoofing) or deliberately to slow it (quote stuffing), but not if it just happens because somebody put in a bunch of orders and then realised their mistake.

>"a whole lot of undesirable consequences" is, to whom

To all the institutional and retail traders on the exchange, who have to pay worse prices for their trades because the market makers can't quote so tightly.
Matomo is a great alternative, but you either have to pay to host it on their servers, or host in on your own server. You could setup a $5 droplet on Digital Ocean and host it easily enough.
I'm sure the deposit has conditions on it. No one would ever put down so much money just to eat all of the future risk.
I haven't read the article and only started using computers as a kid in the early 90s.

My take on perceptually slower is:

I don't remember computers being slow back then. They were just like they were.

Whereas today, especially since I'm living in Latin America on flaky and slow mobile internet connection and low to mid-range phones, the range of speed of just taking into account websites is massive. From super snappy to barely usable. Which makes me much more conscious about it.

Maybe it is just selective memory, and the difference in my age, but I feel back then, how something will perform was more predictable and consistant from a user perspective.
Try sitting at my 2014 quad core Core i5 with 16GB RAM, SATA SSD, and GTX950 running four 4K displays running Windows 10 and multiple instances of CAD / CAM software, Excel, Outlook, Word, task management software blah blah blah all accesible via AutoHotKey scripts and 22 button mouse.

> it is because openness and democracy triumphed before

How do you think openness and democracy triumphing cause the rise of autocrats? Are you referring to Plato's five regimes theory, where each type of government degenerates into a different government, in a cycle?

Discussion from the original PCIe hack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20399555
I wouldn't be surprised if the government thought exactly that, but I don't think it would work - HKers are mostly urban and well-educated, especially the politicized groups that are worried by Chinese rule. It's unlikely they will happily accept to become an underclass.

Still, it is the decent thing to do. It also underlines once again this country has no real power or influence left in the superpower age. Before, we could at least try to get the EU to go to bat for our interests, and have a real impact. We have none of that now, which is probably part of the reason the Chinese accelerated the process.
There should be an OS that kills any program which doesn't respond to user input within a frame
>Ultimately we have a dictatorship of ideas

What an amazing way to phrase "others don't like what I am saying and don't want to associate with me". The government controlling social media platforms is vastly different from a collection of companies controlling social media platforms that they built.

There's an argument that can be made about companies needing to treat their platforms as public squares depending on if they get certain protections or subsidies from the government, but as it stands its currently their property and you don't have a right to force others to broadcast your opinions
