> Why is coupon clipping for food (without which you starve and die) not a problem?

Because most food coupons (Based on my experience in the US) are for “luxury” foods like candy, junk, and snacks. Not fruit, veggies, grains, protein.
ASP.NET Web Framework is the Windows only 18 yo Web Framework based on .NET Framework https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP.NET
It could run on Mono/Linux, but did so very slowly & buggy and possibly what the slowest benchmark was run on.

ASP.NET Core is the newer (complete rewrite, inc runtime), leaner cross-platform (Win,Linux,macOS) Web Framework that's built on top of the performance focused .NET Core runtime released in 2016 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/aspnet/what-is-aspnet-cor...
They're only the same by name which is unfortunate, because it's completely new. It's the future runtime/platform for .NET and will be renamed to .NET 5 whilst the older .NET Framework will stay at v4.x (currently at v4.8).
although this isn't nice I bet there are multiple ways to fool the config checker and not be able to login anymore.

Black is beautiful. You get this bad advice in art school to not use black from some instructors who are almost religious about it. When you study great painters from the past, like Sargent, black was an essential color on their palette. Frazetta made stunning use of pure black.
4/6 tests in there account for database requests. So yes, I would say that Tech empower is pretty important to gauge the performance and efficiency of web frameworks.

Personally, it helped me realize that my mistaken belief that nodejs was hella fast and that old Java based frameworks are slow. It also introduced me to Kotlin (I started on it to try Kooby) and overall love that I can at a glance see that for my chosen set of languages, which farmeworks-dbs are a good bet.
> never intended or designed to take advantage of ground-effect

This is a bit of a circular argument. How do you incorporate real-world empirical data in your design before you have a real-world prototype? The ground effects phenomena was known at the time and thought to be suited to large flying boats.

We are both speculating about undocumented intent but I'd be surprised if the designers were unaware of the potential efficiency gains.

Interesting to see asp.net at the very bottom of the list of 100+ and asp.net core in the top 10.
Ironically this article exposes the fallacy of “induced demand.” Proponents of this mindset, such as the author of this article, claim that more lanes inevitably lead to more traffic. But the article leads off with an example of a massive highway expansion project that is a “boondoggle” because traffic fell and the lanes are empty. I thought that lanes automatically fill up, because induced demand.
Assumption: same performance, increased employee satisfaction, lower costs, fewer expenses (company and employees).

Especially for companies like Pinterest that have probably seen their revenue explode, it's a win win win.
The benchmark is clearly not perfect. But it is great for the community: It pushes all the framework maintainers to optimize their code, so kind of all users of all frameworks are indirectly positively impacted.

The naming is just confusing. dotnet core is a cross-platform open source rewrite of the .net run time and is very performant, the old asp.net framework runs on the windows old .net runtime that you are aware of.

I know this is a popular line of thought, but as someone who really measures things, it doesn't match my experience when it comes to web server frameworks.

In web applications, apart from glaring mistakes such as N+1 queries, pretty much every bottleneck I had in production was due to slow serialisation, slow database abstraction or excessive CPU/memory usage due to language/framework. Also had issues caused by initialisation time. Saving 200ms or 300ms on each request can give you better user experience.

For growing startups, having a fast web framework gives you the choice to postpone doing complex horizontal-scaling for months, or even years. This saves money on the sort term and allows you to keep growing their products without having to worry about other things. The database can scale vertically in the meantime.

As for large tech companies: at my previous workplace there were two migrations in the span of two years because of performance issues. Hundreds of developers collectively agreed on changing the tech twice because of framework bottlenecks.

Of course you shouldn't go straight into a C++ framework when Rails becomes too slow for you, but people should know the tradeoffs of the framework they're using.

Unfortunately, we live in a world governed by money as a motivator. While you might not be in it for the money, many people are, to a certain degree (you know, to make a living and to be able to afford a decent life). If companies are unwilling to pay anything remotely close to what researchers' time is worth, then they shouldn't wonder when people prefer to sell the exploits that they find to those who do value their work appropriately.

And frankly, we shouldn't be giving companies a pass for being cheap because "reporting it responsibly" is the right thing to do. These companies are benefiting to a great degree by offloading vital security research onto unaffiliated and unknown third-parties. Your time, as well as the time of any other hacker or researcher, is valuable and needs to be compensated. I don't see why it's fair to any of us that we should have to work for free or for low pay-outs just because we might be doing the right thing. Same goes for any other career that is badly paid just because "they're helping people".
It’s not really the rate of accidents so much as who will be getting sued. I think it will take legislation to protect autonomous vehicle manufacturers against certain lawsuits otherwise the cost of liability will be so high the vehicles will be rendered uneconomical as the costs are passed on to consumers, or the companies driven out of business altogether.

The article mentions the General Aviation Revitalization Act. The small aircraft industry was almost wiped out until these protections were afforded. I don’t see how any company could risk unleashing a fleet of vehicles with the threat of uncapped liability looming over them.
I think that eventually robots will get both wheel and legs: wheel are more efficient where they are usable.
Info on the government campaign to get people back to offices? See any UK newspaper for past week or BBC. The controversy regarding the hypocrisy of government agencies telling people to go back to offices (under pressure from biz groups who represent the various chains that survive off these commuters) while their own workers are WFH? Look to any newspaper from past three or four days for that one. Contra the earlier claim the Daily Mail group is not among those pushing for a return to regular commuting, other than their desire to parrot the Tory party line; in fact, they had one of the more pointed push-backs by showing that the same ministry that was telling companies to return workers to offices had less than 10% of its own employees working in the office (feels somewhat dirty posting a daily mail link, but it does reveal a bit of the controversy https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8675573/Just-5-work...)

The paradox missing from this equation, is that without an incredibly degree of self belief - nothing would ever get done. This self belief conflates with all these ostensible D-traits.

Literally YC teaches the standard mantra of 'you have to do believe in something when everyone else thinks it's dumb'.

You have to have a kind of outsized ego to reject the common assumption of the world around you and to consistently throw your vision up against it.

Every great leader has to have a number of narcissist traits, there's simply no avoiding it - otherwise, their vision would have been trounced long before they become popular.

And FYI leaders that 'seem' humble are actually just curating the image of being that. Their actions dictate humility, not their personal propaganda. You can see this with 'empathetic' political leaders who play on people's emotional sympathies, while at the same time, do some very Machiavellian things.

It's a hard thing to do, to have an incredible degree of self belief, to maintain one's own vision, but then to not let that cloud one's own ability to be self aware, to recognise one's own faults, to not recgonize how one's actions might hurt others - even actions that are possibly beneficial to others.

An amazing case study is this 'WE Charity' in Canada.

I think there is truly a great deal of goodwill on the part of these guys, and that they have 'done good'. At the same time, they've fallen into a trap of making 'good work' highly superficial, and their own actions and defences have been very ... self centred, egoist, glib lacking in awareness, arrogant etc. - a lot of the D traits on display.
Sure, absolutely they exist. But in my opinion they are the absolute minority. I've been in security for long enough to know that most people are good, otherwise we'd have major problems every day.

99% of people saying something about black markets or govt agencies have never really faced this decision or thought about it for more than 5 minutes. So it was a question - have you REALLY thought about it?

> this is good and fair for customers at the point of purchase.

I think it is widely accepted in commerce that a deal is only fair if both parties have the relevant information.

If customers know they're paying more because of Apple's fees and are comfortable with it because they feel they get adequate benefits in return, that's fair.

If they are unaware of this however, am not sure how the deal can be considered fair, since not all parties have the relevant information to make an informed purchase.
Huh, I had not thought of routines in this way before. I like my morning routine of waking up and drinking coffee as I read the days interesting things on HN and elsewhere, but then I go about the rest of the workweek routines. The idea it actually speeds up my life ... it does. Days blur together, then weeks blur together. Before I know it, months and years can go by with only a few truly memorable moments.

Good thought.

True, if you really don't care at all then just buy the closest one. But in my (limited) experience with buying cars, once you figure out what will meet your needs, there's usually a significant value difference between the available vehicles and it seems silly to give up several thousand dollars worth of vehicle for the sake of one slightly longer journey.

Conventionally, rent-seeking is a poor quality activity which doesn’t generate any new wealth, it just transfers it.

But that’s not the case here, at least from my perspective, as Apple invests huge amounts in developing their hardware and software and millions of developers around the world (ok, maybe thousands, I don’t know) and their families have benefited from this.

It’s not like they’ve inherited a vast real-estate portfolio that was amassed through violence and war (see British aristocracy, est. 1066) and have invested relatively little into it.

Kenosha Militia FB Event Asking Attendees to Bring Weapons Reported 455 Times
You lost me. I just switched carriers from T-Mobile to ATT last week. I had an easy chance to switch to Android (I didn’t) but the cost to me would have been close to nil—other than time. All my apps are agnostic to iOS/Android (same for the 3 other people on my family plan). So just like I’d have to spend time learning the Layout of a Walmart if I left target, I’d have time costs to switch to Android.

And the example you gave of the Kindle still doesn’t make me question the App Store market: if kindle had a kiosk in a target to sell ebooks, I bet target would demand a cut too.

If what you’re after is data portability then solve for that. I’d rather have a law that covers all digital companies rather than devolve the App Store into some unregulated flee market.

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
That's a valid opinion about what Spotify should do, but the fact is for a time Spotify did pass some of the fee on to iOS customers by charging a higher price for IAP.

The question is, should Spotify be able to tell customers that they are getting a higher fee because they are making the purchase on an iOS device?

To me, it requires massive contortions of logic to believe that customers are better off not having this disclosed.
I'm not an expert but I believe this would not allow batching, only pipelineing and to a limited extent as spawning OS thread is "slow" and by default I doubt they spawn more threads than CPU number * 2?
I'm looking at it through the lens of semantic ambiguity, which is something that must be VERY carefully accounted for when building serious questionnaires for research purposes.

Improperly formulated questions can invalidate your results if a significant enough percentage of your respondents are answering a different question from what you intended. And the worst part is that you won't even know what your error rate is, which makes it even more important to make your questions as airtight as possible beforehand, to the point of even doing a study of peoples understanding of the semantic meaning of the questions in the questionnaire itself.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say you should have multiple versions of the questionnaire, and bin them for comparison to discover biases.

But, as another commenter mentioned, there's a disclaimer about the questions at the end of the article.

> All the comments saying “just allow side-loading apps/third-party stores and let people decide themselves” ignore the fact that by doing so then iOS will end up with the same virus/malware issues that you see on Windows and Android.

Why? Who is forcing YOU to sideload?

There's no reason why the default couldn't be status quo and you'd only opt in into sideloading, this way the users who want the walled garden still get it and the users who want to sideload can optionally opt into that.

Why is it always an either/or?

As for Android, I'm pretty confident in saying that F-Droid, which is a 3rd party store, is generally safer than even the Play Store.

Android's problem is the lax review of apps even on the Play Store, lack of updates soon after purchase etc. Most users on Android don't even have sideloading enabled, that's not a huge vector.
