They also had a person who could see if the dev was stalking an ex-girlfriend or pilfering bank account info. Sounds perfect.

That is changing, earlier this year, the Crystal team are working on getting the language stable for 1.0 [0]

Companies are already now using Crystal in production, most recently Nikola Motor Company [1].

Surely they wouldn't choose crystal if it was a 'half baked' language.

How do you get the best performance out of QuestDB? Does it have to be on bare metal machines? Is there any performance benchmark of QuestDB running on bare metal vs. cloud instances (e.g. EC2 with EBS volumes) etc.?
I use pinboard. It breaks pretty frequently for me (I use the JSON feeds for some non-traditional purposes) but he's always quick to respond and get it back up, so that's what keeps me a paying customer. For normal bookmarking, it's a great app.

Ask HN: The next step in Remote Work?
So, if everyone can work remotely, do you see people renting offices with friends they enjoy spending time with?

there are some productivity benefits, and it’s the best of both worlds. You spend time with people you enjoy spending time with, and you don’t jeopardize your friendship by going in business together

>For much the 1900s the top income tax bracket in the US was over 80%,

Top tax is not the same as effective tax rate. For example, when Reagan lowered the top brack from 50% to 37% while also closing taxable shelters,the amount the rich paid actually went up.

The CBO has all this type of data.

>This is a result of social policy.

It's more the result of changes in the world economy. Computers have made skilled jobs vastly more productive, while unskilled like making burgers or painting exteriors have not seen anywhere near the gains.

And as the rest of the world is catching up quickly to first world quality of life, the advantage the poor in the US had on the world labor supply is much less.

>while on average wages have tracked inflation

Only for white men in the US (and most first world countries). Poor women and minorities have seen vast gains in income over the past 40 years in the first world. The rest of the world has seen a massive gain for the poor.

Remember, the poverty line in the US is about the top 15% of incomes worldwide. Our poor are quite rich by world or historical standards. You used to be able to check this at globalrichlist.com, but it's now down. I suspect you can find this info elsewhere.

As some easy evidence to check, poverty line for a household of three in the US is $21k (and that pre-tax transfer. Post transfer is about 40k). Here's per country median incomes.

68010's still need an MMU for virtual memory. So do 68020's, now that I think of it.
May be a stupid idea, but I always feel that appstores should be independent from device and service providers. Consumers should have the flexibility to not get tied to certain distributors of software. Even if apple and Google are not prevented from hosting appstores they should be required to support third party ones as though they were native.
How much is Facebook projecting each user to be worth? I’m trying to figure out how the $662B valuation makes sense. Would love some insight into this, are they factoring in the propensity of the marketing industry to spend to come up with that projection?

Yeah, I think it’s overvalued by several hundred billion, which is scary dangerous when you think about it. That’s a bubble that tech might not be ready to reconcile.
I don't think anyone is disappointed that it isn't literally inline, the problem is that it's in separate files.
I posted this link. I was unable to come up with a title that included her name, the fact that she was Bezos' ex-wife, and who she donated a very large sum of money to, whereas the original long title did.
If you charge $100, you get $70 from Apple (I'm an Apple developer, so I know, but I don't sell anything that costs $100).

Apple gets $30, and you never see it.

I believe that the $70 is taxed; not the $100.

I know that if a customer get a refund, the full Benjamin comes back to them (I have received refunds).

So does that mean that Apple asks the developer to pay "back" $100, when they only paid the developer $70?

I have never had to issue a refund, so I don't know.
This apps also can use internal APIs without faring to be removed from the app store, they can also do UX practices which are not super compatible with the guid lines and they never need to fear an arbitrary ("accidental") review block/take down.

So it's not at all feeding they own dogfood. Do do so Apple would need to run separate finances and make sure they don't get benefited in the review process.
One can check that something is a string and not a blank one.

There are two different libraries that do it:

https://github.com/plumatic/schema/blob/ddb54c87dea6926c6d73...

https://github.com/clojure/spec.alpha/blob/eb49d429e85b6878a...

Honestly I highly suspect that many, many "typing" solutions out there are plain ignorant of the whole spectrum of choices one can make, are tend to lean towards Java-like APIs out of that ignorance.

This is not limited to Ruby, I also see it in TypeScript which is very much a contrived system for real-world usages while making little use of JS's dynamism.
Show HN: Email Breach Calculator

Indeed, we should be talking about a cartel instead. Coordinated action, e.g. banning the same people / videos / keywords on the same day.
According to that, it skips level 1 and goes all the way to 3 in some cases.

Again, not the same as what JSC does, and not nearly as aggressive. Most notably, there is no baseline jit. Also, C1 in any config compiles slower than DFG.
The other two are some of the most basic concepts possible (literally first semester, if not first week of CS) in the design of anything that has to do with a password.

There are still ways this can fail: e.g. tech lead on a team full of good but uninformed bootcamp devs with an absentee manager and a domineering PM, run as a democracy when only a minority have (formal or self-taught) CS education. If the PM doesn't like your recommendation they'll get one of the bootcampers to do a crappy job without telling you.
I'm not sure what side you're on, but the US wouldn't be what it is but for founders who manipulated public opinion by publishing under a pseudonym about their vision of an ideal government. While owning slaves.

Ego issues sometimes apply to the interviewee as well. I once had to interview someone that clearly thought the interview process was beneath them. This person answered every question as if it was a stupid endeavor and we should just hire them since it was just obvious how great they were.
I've found them to be pretty limited as a feature - really they are just some syntactical sugar over "create table as select ... ".

If you start to need any kind of flexibility over refreshing the table, you'll need to move to using a plain old table anyway.
That's definitely a concern, but it's also way outside of what I was talking about. I would also expect any JSON parser, even one in a dynamic language, to fail on JSON that is straight-up malformed. And ambiguous formats are always bad news.

I'm talking about situations where the JSON is formatted fine, it's just that some field wasn't specified, so then the entire input gets rejected. Even though there was zero need to read the contents of that field in the first place. It just happened to be included in some domain object that gets re-used everywhere, including some other places where the field's contents do matter.

Keep in mind that, when we're dealing with anything that might be transmitted in JSON, thinking that there might be a published spec, and that it manages to accurately cover all these details, is really optimistic. I've honestly never seen it happen in the wild. Oftentimes, any validation rules you might try to impose are guesswork as much as they are anything else. So complaining that a piece of data didn't conform to the spec might not even be a valid thing to do. All you can say for sure is that the data didn't meet the needs of some piece of business logic.

It's not perfect, but it's life. This tension, for example, is at the heart of why proto2 got replaced with proto3, and why using proto3 is strongly encouraged if you're looking to build a robust infrastructure.

This article suggests that there should be separate data collection systems for: analytics, SIEM logs, and performance metrics.

The article mentions the CEF (Common Event Format) standard but not syslog or GELF or other JSON formats.

[ArcSight] Common Event Format [PDF]: https://kc.mcafee.com/resources/sites/MCAFEE/content/live/CO...

GELF: Graylog Extended Log Format:
https://docs.graylog.org/en/latest/pages/gelf.html

Wikipedia > Syslog lists a few limitations of Syslog (no message delivery confirmation, though there is a reliable delivery RFC; and insufficient payload standardization) and also links to the existing Syslog RFCs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog

Are push-style systems ideal for security logshipping systems? What sort of a message broker is ideal? AMQP has reliable delivery; while, for example, ZeroMQ does not and will drop messages due to resource exhaustion.

Developers simply need an API for their particular framework to non-blockingly queue and then log structs to a remote server. This typically means moving beyond a single-threaded application architecture so that the singular main [green] thread is not blocked when the remote log server is not responding.

SIEM: Security information and event management:

Semi-automating the common cases with a GUI would probably help many of the less sophisticated users. E.g. scan the existing system for partitions and ask them which one they want to repair.

Windows' repair mechanisms also only work in the common case and you have resort to quite similar CLI stepss when they don't.
> Why does Kodak think they can pivot into an entirely new industry?

It's not an entirely new industry for them. Kodak's roots in the photography industry built up a good bit of institutional knowledge and capital infrastructure around chemical synthesis, and they've already been leveraging that expertise/infrastructure for hire (including for pharmaceuticals) through their Advanced Materials division[1].

So it's not entirely new to them, nor a complete unknown on their ability to execute. This contract just elevates it into a substantially larger and more important chunk of business for them.

Between the existing expertise and facilities, Kodak makes a much safer and faster-to-market bet than seeding a bunch of startups from scratch.

Created an account to comment on this.

The authors of this article seem to interpret this as an imaginative fancy of his that he "created"; rather, this actually seems to be a classic case of a polyfragmented DID system [of identities], also known as complex DID.

Oftentimes, alters are not formed consciously, and this is a severe disorder that is heavily traumagenic in nature. In my personal nonprofessional opinion, it's one of the harder non-neurodegenerative diseases to live with.

Source -- personal experience, I'm on the dissociative spectrum in some way, as best as I know. Expecting to receive a diagnosis shortly as an OSDD-1b system, and potentially DID under the ICD/ANP qualifications. The dissociative spectrum is actually shockingly common as a disorder, appearing in up to 1 in 12 in the general population, but is almost never diagnosed because much like PTSD in the 80's, it's heavily underemphasized and is seemingly not well-popularized in psychological circles today. Rather, the food fight over the legitimacy of DID seems to be taking away from work that could be done to further dissociative treatment modalities/other complex trauma disorders. Sauce on the 1 in 12 stat: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4579511/

If you lose the product you bought you can generally not get an refound ;=)

And doesn't apple have some form of remote logout/factory reset feature for lost devices?

EDIT: (Sure requiring remote factory reset for lost devices would not work if it's a iPad which has not internet connection and never gets one again in it's live time, but that would be an acceptable corner case I thing).
I'm glad we agree that adding type annotations to code is a good thing. You aren't arguing against that–you are just arguing implementation details. If I'm designing a 5 9s service tasked with processing gigabytes of data every unit time, I don't want to pay the runtime cost of checking the types for every mundane operation like measuring the length of a string.
I can't believe the majority of the comments in this thread is about her name and the title.

The 68010 is sort of a "fixed" 68000. Restoring state after a page fault doesn't work right in the 68000.

If it had, 68000 machines with MMUs would have worked right, and the history of computing might have been more Motorola and less Intel. (The Lisa and the Apollo Domain did have 68000s with MMUs and horrible kludges to make them work.)
can you honestly say if bezos married someone else, amazon wouldn’t exist? or some other random woman would have that money?
Their AmazonBasics line has been very successful and incredibly anti-competitive too.

Before you go and compare it to brick and mortar in-house brands like Walmart has, consider that Walmart has a higher investment in things they end up stocking in store (they pay for things up-front and shelf space is comparatively scarce). Amazon doesn't have the concept of "shelf space", and Amazon doesn't paid for the product up-front in many cases.

Walmart is notoriously pushy on suppliers, but once product is on the shelf both Walmart and the supplier's interests are heavily aligned. Amazon would rather peddle you their Basics line instead.
Payment processors also don't typically sell their own hardware, then lock said hardware down so that the payment processor's store is the only way to purchase things for the hardware. Payment processors typically allow you to buy a variety of goods from a range of storefronts. Comparing the Apple store to something like stripe or PayPal seems pretty apple and orangy to me.
I don't think it's reasonable to describe those as five independent tiers. Two of them just add (slower) code to collect profiling information.

>Wouldn’t the money be better spent on a true startup in this area?

Not likely.

Kodak likely has large production capacity already as well as the contacts throughout industry to execute.

>A new company wouldn’t be saddled with all of Kodak’s over bloated management and legacy.

A new company also would not have the large engineering staff and capacity to produce like Kodak could. Kodak still has massive and significant chemical engineering talent. Kodak still has a billion+ in annual revenue, ~5000 employees, and manufacturing and design talent.

Very, very few startups reach that capability.
"monologue"
Hot damn, looks like CLUSTER is exactly what I need to handle a pending performance problem! I'd searched for this before, but not knowing the keywords just ended up with people saying "add an index", which was not useful:

We have a table of denormalized data that's used as one of the inputs to an ETL system, and it has to be sorted by one of the columns in the table. This is the table's only purpose. Unfortunately, postgres refuses to use the index because random-access across the entire table is slower than loading and sorting it all, when retrieving all data in the table. This means the ETL system has to wait for about 15 minutes before any data is returned.

Some preliminary tests on a copy of the database indicate that, using CLUSTER to order the data, it will do an index scan instead of a the table scan+sort, and start returning data immediately. As long as the correlation remains high enough with regular updates, I'm thinking maybe this can be a scheduled once-a-week operation...

Yeah. My first car in 1996 was a Buick Century that I got for $1,000. My brother had this shitty mid-80s 2-door Pontiac Sunbird that he got for like $600 in 91 when he graduated from high school. I kept that Buick in service until 2001 when I enlisted, I don't know what happened to it after that. I got a 94 Ford Ranger, around 2003, when I needed a car again and was making some better money for around $4,000. I sold that truck to an old colleague in 2009 (he still has it today) and got a used Scion xB for $6,000, which I till have today.

It blew me away when I got that Scion. It was a steal of a deal. I was looking at used, late 90s model Civics at the time, because I needed a commuter that could do 50 miles one way with decent MPG and with something I knew that I could keep on the road, and those cars held their value so well into the late 2000s that it blew me away. People were asking $3,000-$4,000 for them with 150k-200k miles.

Today, I make something crazy like about 15x what I made in 1996, but I still have that Scion. I plan to keep it on the road for another 11 years. After all, it's a Toyota and it's given me no trouble at 150k miles. It goes to the shop for tires, everything else I handle in my garage. It's a commuter for my wife that goes about 5 miles one way these days.

My neighbors comment on it all of the time. They think it's an unsightly beater sitting in front of our ludicrously expensive homes. I thought about selling it for a while but their shitty attitudes have convinced me to keep it around.
Thanks! You’re welcome. Glad to have done something helpful. A key part of it is to write down on paper what you think will happen, rate it on a scale of 100% and then provide evidence for that claim and then assess how likely is it that the bad thing would happen. The key part is to write this stuff down. Chronic anxiety can lead to depression etc... this happens when people feel trapped. You have no debt so I’d say you aren’t stuck in a job if you really hate it. If you are in the Bay Area, I’d recommend the feeling good institute. They have intensive programs if you are up for them that take a week. I’ve never done one but I follow their podcast with David Burns etc...

Some anxieties are things we have to confront that we put off. Almost like phobias. So if you are say anxious about being in conflict you need to practice being in conflict and visualize it. You can role play these things and do role reversal etc... lots of great tools to learn.

One thing in business is that if you identify a systematic or existential risk, you shouldn’t shoulder it alone. The business should have a team and a process around the risk. Then an individual can only manage so much risk and needs to delegate etc... or at least give it some prioritization. If the business can’t do that then you have to ask yourself if you want to be in that business and if you have the means/role to get them to where they should be. These are kind skills you can learn on the job, with a performance coach, or in therapy! You should be able to push back on unreasonable demands.

Absolutely. The fact that they choose to not provide this guarantee is a major red flag and a strong reason for me to not spend money on that platform. On the other hand, I have zero concern that my digital licenses of XBox or PlayStation games will vanish within the next couple decades.
