The Concorde was done in by fuel prices, and because it was a small aircraft. I visited one in a museum and it was claustrophobic. Also nobody should be sorry that elites have to sit on long overseas flights just like we do.

The A380 was a boondoggle from the beginning, an attempt to outdo Boeing by having TEH BIGGEREST aircraft on the market. Having to rebuild airports to accommodate it wasn't a good idea.

The 747 is a 1960s design, for Pete's sake. How long were we planning on keeping it around?
For Facebook, the worst part is that it shows more in the gmail message preview than it shows when you click through to the message. There is no security explanation for that; it's clearly deliberate manipulation.

Let’s just get this one banned from web apis already.
I once built a toy document store using SQLite and Python using almost similar idea, https://maxpert.tumblr.com/post/47494540287/a-document-store... if done correctly the advantage of that approach IMHO is:
- ACID (Powered by SQLite)
- Complex and efficient Index (Powered by SQLite)
- CouchDB like API

I've been playing around with Rust recently maybe I will do a simple implementation in Rust-Lang which will keep it memory safe and efficient.
I think you've been down-voted because your statements read like shallow (neo-liberal) propaganda rather than insightful observations.

A sufficiently well functioning government is necessary for a market to be well functioning and vice versa.

> Failures fail and go away, and what you’re left with are the successful organizations that know how to do things!

This isn't generally true and is dependent on what you define as a failure.

The private sector is exploiting, polluting and destroying natural resources all over the world even with regulations. Some of it are honest mistakes and ignorance, but much of it are "trade-offs".

The general and consistent quality of products and services in prosperous societies is enforced by regulations. Your food is (very) healthy, your houses are solid.

Similarly workers are being exploited all over the world. The only reason there are places where people are (close to) guaranteed to live decent, free lives is based on decades of activism, unions and governmental action.

There are also things where the government is just strictly more efficient than markets. Mostly projects and services which are very long-term oriented such as education, police, military, infrastructure, public transport, foundational research etc. They all have two things in common: They are based on collaboration rather than competition and they achieve long-term goals.

You see there is a balance here between the short-term gains of the competitive markets and the long-term stability of the collaborative governments and non-profits.

As with many things this can be simply observed from nature and evolution. Both competition and collaboration are important strategies of survival.
I’d say “and” not “or”.

Perhaps not relevant to LinkedIn specifically, but in general people install these apps because they eventually get fed up with the purposefully crippled mobile website badgering them about it. Ever tried to use Yelp or Reddit's mobile websites? Impossible.
Sure do.

Substack the company was founded in 2017 [1]. At that point Substack the person was already a household name in open source — with 76.000 GitHub stars to his name his projects' popularity were on par with the likes of Mozilla [2].

Naming an upstart company after a household name that isn't protected by copyright is incredibly clever. You get to use an established and trusted name, but can't get sued for using it.

I can not question the legitimacy of your claims, I am not a historian.

However, there is no theological opposition to other gods or atheism within modern Hindu culture. It is in fact a reason why Hindus have millions of gods and are encouraged to make more.

That stands in stark contrast with Christianity or Islam, which has not waged religious wars just in India but in much of the world.

Moreover, the disappearance of much of the ancient religions and cultures can be attributed to just these two religions.
> Cooling is one of the lowest priority problems when designing a mainframe CPU

That's not true at all. Next to power deliver, power removal--aka HVAC--is next in line of recurring costs (after one-time costs of building the facility and the initial server BOM).

For example: https://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2008/11/cost-of-power-in-l...

Unless by "mainframe" you mean specialty compute-server farm for a supercomputer (with massive IO) then perhaps.
hypothesis: "technology" is largely data collection platforms with thin veneers on top (social networking, dating, food delivery, etc)

if you agree with that premise, then it's no surprise that every possible source of data that can be collected upon, will be collected upon.
Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree.

No way, those things will be still flying 50 years from now. They hit a sweet spot in economical flying.
I won't weep too many tears for the 747 but the A380 is seriously pleasant to fly on. It will be sad if it doesn't come back post COVID-19.
I imagine many companies are doing this, only a small number have been caught. Some of them might yank the code before they get caught.
that doesn't mean everyone else knows though, and it at least detoxifies the conversation to observers
This is atrocious. LinkedIn isn’t even in for ads.

I wonder if they are using some tracking software and that is doing this. My guess is every tracking software does it.

Indeed, the only role that "state's rights" played in the Civil War was maintaining the rights of the Southern/slave states to allow slavery to continue.

The Confederate states certainly didn't respect the right of the Northern states to terminate slavery, and indeed forced through a number of laws (prior to the Civil war) requiring the Northern states to participate in the return of escaped slaves.

> How does that in anyway correlate to a better life. if you look at gdp per capita growth in places like germany who have only grown from 45k to 47k since 2008. The US grew from 45k to 62k

If you adjust PPP and inflation with your chosen starting point
(https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?end=2...),
Germany grew from 47.6k to 53.7k USD (+13%), while the US grew from 55.4k to 61.5k USD (+11%) until 2018 (which is the latest endpoint and makes an even decade).

But why not look another decade back further (1998-2018) (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?end=2...): Germany (+115%), US (+91%).

Another perhaps more esoteric approach is pointed to by Ramana Maharshi (and others) who encouraged people seeking happiness to inquire into "the one who is unhappy". In other words, to ask oneself, "Who is it that is unhappy?" The idea being that the independent entity that most of us take ourselves to be is just a fictional story (an I-thought) with no real existence, and that it comes about from an erroneous identification with thoughts. Once that is fully realized, the problem of happiness is permanently solved because the "I-thought", as he calls it, is the real root of the problem. In fact, according to him, it's the root of all of our problems. ;-)
Yes, the laws don't care about who you bank with. If your "center of life" is in Germany, you are required to pay income taxes. Although "center of life" is not defined in detail in german tax law, there are a number of known indicators that are considered. For example, if you reside in Germany for 183 days per year or more, you are required to pay income tax on all of your income.
> If being the 5th largest economy in the world and contributing more tax dollars to the Federal government than it receives is largely dysfunctional, that sounds pretty awesome. California has tons of problems but I can't think of many less dysfunctional states.

1. Simply being the 5th largest economy in the world doesn't say enough about how successful it is in its goals. Incidentally, California suffers from the worst amount of income inequality in the Union, and the highest rate of poverty. The income required to afford the median home in California is on average higher than just about anywhere else in the Union, even when you take into account the higher local salaries.

2. Because the largest Federal government expenditures are in 1) Social Security, 2) Medicare, and 3) the military (in that order), the states in the Union that will receive the most Federal tax dollars are the ones that have the most elderly people and the most military bases per capita. That California contributes more than it receives isn't a particular strong indicator of its health as a State. You could argue that states with more Medicaid recipients are more dysfunctional, but because Medicaid only constitutes ~15% of the Federal budget, it's less consequential to the variance than {SS, Medicare, Defense}.

> For example, Texas has the second largest economy amongst the states, and would be the world's 10th largest economy, but IMO it's more dysfunctional than California because it's on the dole for $50bil annually from the rest of the country. They subsidize their low taxes by sponging off the other states, including California and New York.

Okay, but no one here is arguing that Texas is a paragon of functional state governance. The argument is that California is a dysfunctional government. Both Texas and California can be dysfunctional for different reasons! On the flip side, Washington has no state income tax, is less dependent on the Federal government than California, AND enjoys a lower poverty rate. Ditto New Hampshire, Utah, Minnesota, Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia.

A ranking of states by "quality of life"[1] ranks California at 19th.

Artistic value? With the ugly hump?

That hump isn't just physically ugly, it's socially ugly as well. It is where the elites congregate. Anything that diminishes their status relative to our own is a good thing.
Actually, no, I never have. But if I wanted to wallow in these sewers for some reason, and the mobile sites were unusable, I would use my laptop, or just manage to find some way to survive without them. Installing their apps is out of the question.

I will admit that until about 2 years ago I had absolutely no idea the flag was racist. I thought it was simply a southern symbol.

Some comment I saw online made me research it, which then made me aware of other symbolism it has.

So don't be so quick to assume racism in those who fly it.
What I don't understand is why the browsers and OSs aren't preventing this. This is a massive security hole.

An app doesn't need access to the clipboard unless I'm actively pasting to it while it's in focus.
The main ad line seems to be how comfortable and the quality of the shoe, honestly the all natural point was news to me before you pointed it out to me, and I own the shoe. Two strikes for it though, given that they aren't the most comfortable shoe and as I mentioned above, the build quality was highly disappointing. I cannot stress enough how cheap this shoe appears in the flesh and on your foot, natural material or not.
When I was a kid my grandparents still lived in the house where my mom grew up - a huge, old, beautiful home (built in the '20s, I'd guess?) deep in a forest. When it was torn down to build condos (to pay my grandfather's debts, I'm told) one of the things we were able to keep was the handmade crown molding. My wife took a few pieces to a carpenter which they used to create a frame for an original painting we had purchased (online, but directly from the artist as I understand - from a daily-deals style art site called artsumo, anyone remember that?) It's probably my favorite piece of art in our home.

When I look at the fake colour videos of the early 1900s I'm in awe. The connection to the past is so much more personal than in black and white. I would hazard a guess this is due to the ability to see subtle body language or facial expression with the greater contrast.

I also (now) wonder will the ubiquity of high definition archival footage take us further away from the past or will it connect us to it much more through empathy as the fake archival footage has with me.
The A380 also had other issues, in that a freighter version was never developed, and also the dead weight of the plane was a lot heavier than the 747.
Granted, it's higher level than I could have comprehended or desired, but it's lower level than some overviews I can picture.

I think there could be more refinement to the article. The GC does not get rid of "dead or old" objects. It gets rid of dead (unused) objects, regardless of age. The part on inline caching doesn't really explain what happens when the cached method is not the right one. These things could be edited without changing the level of detail very much.
The Illusion of Statelessness
Please don't take HN threads further into generic ideological flamewar. That leads to total repetition, because these arguments endlessly and shallowly recycle on the internet, and usually turn nasty—as if the mind needs something to amuse itself in the absence of new information.

LinkedIn is a subsidiary of Microsoft. I know the title of this post is an excerpt from a tweet, not a headline, but I think it's generally appropriate to call out the parent company in cases like this.

>Although it's true that these platforms are "private property," the entire society has become too reliant on them to be seen that way.

Does that setting affect other Android native apps' clipboard access? It wouldn't seem so.
Maybe you should learn the difference between information and knowledge before going on incoherent populistic rants.
the 787 all-composite is very cool; it's just sad that it's too expensive to retool the rest of the product offerings.

And it's cool that Boeing figured out 20 yrs ago that point-to-point would kill hub-and-spoke (not least because it's a great way to fly) and very sad that Airbus wasted so much money and people's careers on an ego driven white elephant that Boeing already told them wasn't going to work, instead of using that money to push the real envelope.
Computers Are Furniture
Those are all CLI/desktop apps and stable as they've been around for decades. They also had supportive communities to file bug reports, changelists, etc..

You can hardly compare coreutils to smartphone apps.

As someone who deals with Android fragmentation daily, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to support the whole ecosystem. Disliking analytics I can understand, but crash reporting adds measurable improvement in the quality of software.

I disagree. It's coder malpractice. There is something to be said for a quick solution that just gets the job done. But each one of the updates described would take more work than just implementing SQLite or similar. Sure, on the outset, do something quick and dirty. By the second or third iteration, any legitimate developer should have switched to a database solution. Creating technical debt for no reason or invalid reasons is just a good way to setup your company for failure.
These benchmarks are very interesting! From my experience gfortran’s MATMUL is very good for small matrices, but OpenBLAS gets better from ~10x10 elements. Not quite sure that’s the same as your benchmark; its colour code is a bit confusing. Would you mind making the data available?

Certainly, gfortran’s default implementation works well as a quick and easy solution for small vectors and matrices outside of hot paths. Also, I remember discussions about improving matmul(transpose(A),B) somewhat recently. I don’t remember for which version it was, but it’s the sort of things that is improved regularly.

I would love an option to align arrays in gfortran. It’s very important to take advantage of automatic vectorisation but I haven’t found a reliable way to do it.
Yeah, highly recommend that. You can also contact Estonian folks who do understand the idea of running a co in Estonia and living elsewhere which isn't common in a country like Germany as local accountants there may be confused, there's a bunch of people on this list that have gone through at least some govt vetting https://e-resident.gov.ee/marketplace/service-providers/

Seeking Robust Credible Expertise Buyers
I don't believe the OP of this post are the same person as the author of the library. Someone publishing a project isn't harmful, you don't have to use it. If someone uses it and gets burned that is their fault, not the author's. If you're making this project a dep, it's your job to vet it, especially if it's a database. Just because something is OSS doesn't mean it needs to be some polished stone that meets your standards.
There's a difference between operating the database [SRE type job] vs consuming a database [developer]. They're both very valuable skills, but learning the basics of SQL [i.e. being a consumer] is a no brainer. The skills will serve you well for the rest of your career. It's not something that changes every few years like frontend frameworks do.

This is my favorite learning material for ANY programming related skill ever: https://use-the-index-luke.com/, and it's all about SQL queries.
Exactly. The tricky part of plausible deniability is that it needs to actually be plausible. People very often screw this part up. EG they'll make a TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt hidden volume, but then won't modify the outer volume with the same access patterns to hide their usage of the hidden volume.
The hump is where business class usually sits. First class is up in the nose.

There are a lot of people in the South who do not show or like the Confederate flag, even in rural areas.

And there are a lot of people outside the South who do show and like the Confederate flag.

So while I agree that it's a symbol of an identity and culture, I don't think it's a geographic regional identity and culture.

I think you're arguing in good faith based on your own experience, but I would gently suggest this is an opportunity to consider a wider variety of data and perspectives.
They're not wrong. For the Southern colonies, participation in the American Revolution was part of their effort to maintain slavery.
I would not necessarily credit Heroin for it (and would definitely not advocate its use), but a sizable proportion of Rock and Jazz performers have composed and performed music under its influence.

Slaying sacred cows is all fun and games and everyone loves South Park for it.

Right up until the point at which your own sacred cows are slaughtered. Then suddenly it's not funny any more. Blaspheming the sacred has long been grounds for jesters to be fired or beheaded, even though that is the jester's role in society.

It's still funny, you just don't like being ridiculed. Which is proof positive that your sacred cows must be ridiculed as much as possible.
