IMO Matthias Felleisen (building on work of Sussman (IIRC) et. al.) gets first-year CS education right with How to Design Programs (https://htdp.org/2020-5-6/Book/index.html). Literally step 1 in the design recipe presented in the preface is:

"1. From Problem Analysis to Data Definitions
Identify the information that must be represented and how it is represented in the chosen programming language.
Formulate data definitions and illustrate them with examples."
Great job! Love the design, reminds me of glitch.com

You need a signal handler to eat it and do something about it, or you have to explicitly say that you don't care and set it to "ignored", but you can't just pretend it won't happen... because it sure will.

The default action of SIGPIPE is to kill the process, which is exactly what you need for pipelines to work correctly. Related article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22647539
I'm not sure why people are downvoting the comment. The link I included indicates there were 1 million bookings in a single day, signaling recovery.

Regarding layoffs:

Business tanked right after COVID began, and people were laid off because of that, but business recovered unexpectedly in the summer.

Whether this is a temporary recovery:

This is anyone's guess, and it may very well be temporary, but take a look at Airbnbs and VRBOs in less dense getaway destinations near urban centers. You will find a lot of them are fully booked through September and October.
This looks great, as extended commonmark support knocks down the last major pain point to switching to Sphinx for docs in the projects I've worked on.

Are there those types of apartments in the US? The apartment complexes in NYC and California that I recall are not like that.

Also, I don't think the parent post by harimau777 was comparing specifically with suburban single family houses. A like-with-like comparison in the same or similar neighborhoods seems more appropriate. I was more addressing his statement that "only the rich can have homes that give true ownership and everyone else is stuck in multi-family homes", pointing out that for many, multi-family homes are preferable to single family houses.

Finally, to your point of living within walking distance to various shops and services. Sure, high end shopss will congregate near high-income neighborhoods, but high density neighborhoods will attract businesses even if the residents are not wealthy, due to the density driving sufficient volumes to the businesses. Thus it's likely more a matter of whether zoning allows mixed use.
Interestingly, this article [0] states that the opposite is true: "The research included vintage cars up to 70 years old to see if their less aerodynamic shape meant they killed more bugs, but it found that modern cars actually hit slightly more insects."

> I think gerrymandering and the electoral college allocation will give one of the sides a distinct advantage.

Which election? For the Presidential election, gerrymandering has very little potential impact, though electoral college allocation is a big factor. For the Senate, neither of those factors is in play, though something like (and, indeed, the source of most of) the electoral college distortion is in play. For the House, gerrymandering is a big deal, but the electoral college distortion is not a factor (nor is anything much like the electoral college distortion, except the chaotic effect of granularity on small states).
I'm not proposing any idea other than acting as if people are rational and not subject to manipulation is demonstrably madness.

I'm not arguing any course of action, merely pointing out that a course of action based on the idea that people are rational will not work, because they demonstrably are not.

I don't subscribe to the 'user' terminology as if they are drug addicts.

I would be fine with apache/nginx logs as long as the IP addresses are heavily anonymised and nothing else. It's got everything you need without actively tracking people with intrusive JS, and your site will be faster.

I could not agree more. I'm pretty early in my software career after a few years as a military officer, and if that job taught me one thing, it's that NOTHING at work is as important as you think it is. Looking back on those times, even in a job where lives are sometimes on the line, I can't believe how seriously I took some things and how much more fun I could have had. It's a disappointing lesson to have to learn in hindsight.
Any tips on how I can decouple myself from the Google password manager? The convenience of having passwords synced across every signed-in Chrome instance on every device (and even in-app on Android) is still something I haven't found a suitable replacement for yet.
We do the same thing. Keep is superior to a written list - you can organize it, so apples don't end up near the top of the list, and oranges at the bottom, and you end up walking back and forth through the store.

You can have sub-items in Keep, by dragging items beneath a "heading" item, and so we have a bunch of major items (meat, fruit/veg, breads, paper, cleaning, etc.) that stay on there, and we add subitems to the list. It makes it much easier to shop, and as we shop, we check items off.

It's too bad Google separated Keep from their assistant function. You used to be able to say "ok google, add cheese to the shopping list" and it would go in the Keep shopping list. Now it goes in a shopping list that is somewhere else, that I can't share. Not very useful. Keep is also easily replaced by a variety of open source solutions, whenever Google decides to deprecate it. It is simple, and it works for now.
There is a good reason why I've been at my current employer as long as I have, they actually give salary and benefit increases that attempt to reflect how you contribute to the company and how much they want to keep you around.

Unfortunately, there are other factors that you need to maintain that keep employees around and we have lost a few people that really hurt the overall skill level of the team which had nothing to do with compensation.
What 'progressive cruft' would you like to refactor to the state level?

Healthcare? Defense? Medical and scientific research? SNAP and (albeit small/not enough) education funding? What about banking regulation, regulating privacy and tech?

What happens when those, by your insinuation, 'unwise' states like California and New York are the only states that can afford anything? I would add it's my opinion these liberal local govs are the only ones willing to vote in their own best interest - e.g. education - but i'm sure we won't agree there on the fundamental premise.

Most of the conservative states rely on money from more populous states to even feed their people. The Republican Speaker is insanely hypocritical here in current stimulus negotiations as Kentucky is the second most dependent on Federal funding. e.g. they are 2nd to last in taking more money in from other states than they give back.

Plus State and local governance already has an outsized influence on people's lives (even many conservatives would agree more than Fed Gov)

and local government seems even more affected by unequal political power and wealth. Just look at all the Q anon and other crazy city council and school board zealots elected all over the place (which sadly has now made it's way into Congress)
We experimented with several solutions (as we found the tablets expensive and needlessly complex). We tried with our own home-made baking soda solution. It worked generally well, except for something like tomato pulp. You'd simply still see it afterwards (red). We gave up after a while, and found a relatively cheap and good brand of tablets. YMMV.
VRBO/HomeAway, Booking, Tripadvisor are all competitors. There are also a lot of smaller upstarts focusing on specific segments like Blueground (work trips), Lyric (upscale city accommodations), Plumguide (vetted listings).
Edit: This is not meant to criticize the Tensorflow, TPU, or XLA team. They responded quickly to our bugs and made the work possible. I just meant there was some extra organizational overhead.
If you're a remotely decent employee, your manager will figure out a workaround or help you get an exception to the policy. It's hard to find good help, and if you're fired because of a completely inflexible system where you have to clock in with an internet system, then you weren't really fired for the lack of internet, you were fired because management wanted an excuse to fire you.
If you're incapable of differentiating between speech that disparages individuals or groups, and speech that advocates batshit crazy ideas that don't require the disparagement of groups or individuals, I can't help you.

I think there are risks to Pizzagate or QAnon speech too, and they are underestimated and likely not well understood. But they are completely different than the risks linked to "jewish/black/other people are devils" speech (of course, this elides the extent to which PG/QAnon speech is actually just this, in contrast, say, to flat earth speech)

I agree with you, however, that it's not appropriate to frame the Holocaust as a consequence of free speech, and was not attempting to do that.

Show HN: Scraping 2.5 million songs metadata from Jango Radio
Jango. It's a music streaming service. No it's not Spotify. Yes I know you've never heard of Jango.

So I spent the past few months scraping metadata for every song on Jango Radio and put it in a database and made it searchable. I built a search tool which includes the kind of features that only a nerd would want like search by ID and search by URL.

https://jango-index.ml/

I used Bash and Btrfs for the backend scraper. I used PHP and SQLite for the frontend search.

https://jango-index.ml/src/

I'm not interested in monetizing what I did. I wouldn't be interested in a marketing campaign to raise the notoriety of Jango Radio to the point that you would notice it exists either.

I'm aware that my project looks like crap to web design obsessed marketing posers who pretend to code.

I happen to enjoy coding and I did a coding project. I know coding is an intrinsically valueless endeavor. I did it anyway.

I don't feel that I need them to live; I appreciate TV Tropes more and that's where a donation would go first. They are a nice luxury, but I opt for the non-Wikipedia answers where possible, because Wikipedia tends to explain things in a convoluted manner.

Plus they do make a lot of money and I feel the fundraising copy has been misleading about that.

I feel that the Wikipedia model doesn't work as a non-profit. I'd be happy to subscribe to some paid version where contributors get distributed a portion of the earnings, ala Spotify. Right now, it feels like some contributors get nothing, while some have a happy full time, full salary job. It's brought some good to the world, and I'd like the Wikipedia staff to make above average salaries, but it should be taken fairly out of everyone's pockets.
Just a thought - if your wife does indeed blog about recommended dosages, I'd suggest some sort of disclaimer included on the website to avoid liability.

Thanks for your input. We are planning to also support an API and/or CLI (besides the GUI) to set up the pipelines through scripting. Depending on what we hear from the community we will definitely add this sooner rather than later.

You make a great point for the use of monitoring the progress of a run. During pipeline runs the visual pipeline interface (also in view only mode during or after running pipeline runs as part of an experiment) can be helpful as a visual indication of where the pipeline failed, how long pipeline steps took to execute and whether certain pipeline steps are still running.

Lastly, for team collaboration we think the visual interface is indeed helpful to explain (especially to the less technical people) the structure of the code, what exactly the pipeline sets out to solve and how the pipeline solves it. In addition, the possibility to add intermediary pipeline steps that serve as dashboards can be helpful for collaboration.
> Why is hyperloop 1/20th the cost? It

In the case of Musk's original proposal posed against HSR, largely because it had far fewer stations and because it had termini nowhere near the notional urban endpoint destinations, because getting close to them required high-priced right of way.

It basically was a way to get from the distant (in transit time from SF) fringes of the Bay Area to the, IIRC, even more distant (in transit time from LA) fringes of the LA Basin.
I totally agree. Three days has been the max for me, as far as mental health agendas. Far more productive with 15 - 20 hours work, at the most. My employer Walmart, for some reason, isn't as conscious as many, they're telling me that my cart-collecting days are over.

> the TGV is also profitable

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my impression is that this is only true if one excludes the capital costs associated with the railroad (tracks, right of way, and I think also rolling stock). If you factor in the infrastructure construction costs (and reasonable lifetimes for replacing rolling stock), a high speed trail line will never be profitable without significantly higher fare prices than are presently charged.

But that goes to further support your point that high speed rail can only be accomplished with government input.

To be fair, I think that the same argument can be made for the costs of interstate highway systems and passenger air travel.
That's still 2 to 7 minutes longer than a Loop tunnel. And that also only addresses half of the GP's comment (scheduling).
Is there any "raise a bit of money to sustain myself with a side project for a year" in exchange of, I don't know, 50%? Like a partner who will bet that this side project will be able to sustain two people, while one work on it. Example:

I want to make a small startup, I need $24k to sustain myself for one year ($2k per month). Someone gives me that in exchange of 50%. The idea is to make this sideproject to earn $48k per year, so we can both have that $24k anually after a while.
I'm starting to think a lot of schemes at the federal level (patent, copyright, securities law, trademark, etc) are robbing these conservative states of opportunity. In the op's proposed system, it's probable that wealth can be generated through better competition in these regulatory systems.
It is never about the actual money spent . It is about how much visibility that spend is having in the public/political mind space .

This is why doesn’t make sense to compare nasa and military budgets . Decision makers do not see all money as equal.

Even if there was no hidden agenda,cutting some spends are far easier than others even if it made logical sense , the lobbying power of the military budgets has is lot more than that of say NASA or USPS.

It is not just government it is true for corporates and non profits as well , Mozilla cuts servo over say pocket for similar reasons ,
I prefer to see the whole system as a succession of stream transformations (https://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-ou...). If you view the sequence of input events as first-class and the "current state of the world" as derived, then a lot of problems go away. You need a datastore that can give you a consistent answer as to what order events occurred in, but it's a lot easier to make appending to an append-only list atomic than to make arbitrary state computations ACID.

For downstream derived computations, basically you either make the causal relationship explicit, or accept that you have eventual consistency. The only case where you can have inconsistency is where you have a "diamond" in your computations (i.e. you compute B that's derived from A and C that's also derived from A, and you compute D that's derived from B and C). So you figure out the business implications and either accept it or eliminate the diamond (by computing (A, B) from A and (B,C) from (A, B) instead of computing B and C separately from A). You will also get inconsistency if you do some totally ad-hoc query that's not part of your existing pipelines, but usually that's the kind of reporting query that doesn't need to be 100% consistent; if you do need a consistent version of that then the best approach is to take a regular snapshot, which can be consistent.

Basically you have a lot more precise control, you have causal relationships where you have explicit dependencies, so you have the level of consistency that you need for all your operational stuff, but you don't have a globally consistent realtime view of everything. It may take more work up front, but IME the notion of that kind of global consistency is a lie in a distributed world; even if you just have a basic webapp then you can't actually achieve the kind of consistency that that model pretends you have, because what the user is viewing in their browser (and then potentially making changes based on) at any given time is not necessarily the same as what's in the central database.

To get back to the question, this means that if inconsistency is due to an actual bug, it's pretty easy to solve: fix the bug and then regenerate from the original events. If you don't understand why data is inconsistent then you can always look back to the source events and figure out what it should be.
I definitely learned something intriguing today - thanks for sharing!
This is awesome. Thank you for making this, I will be buying a hard copy. I have recently had to learn DevOps due to being on a project setting up infrastructure, and have now been exposed to Ansible and Terraform. These are extremely powerful tools. Do you use Terraform at all, or do you do your provisioning with Ansible? Is Ansible able to do the things that Terraform would be used for? Just curious for your thoughts. Thanks!
I think for recipes specifically it started with the fact that a recipe cannot be copyrighted, but that flavor text around a recipe can. This is why recipe books do the same thing.
