My suggestion don’t rely too much on S3 API after this ruling and better to have seaweedfs API as primary interface, until Amazon S3 release their API interface as true open source with right to modify for one’s own use.

This is one of the biggest problems with Java, it’s free but not open source (Eric Raymond has been fighting this for a while now that free does not mean open source). Oracle can come after anyone using Java if there is substantial money to be made.

So Java is only free as long as money keeps coming in for Oracle, once it dries like for SCO, they will go after anyone using Java API to extract money.

Also this shows subtle difference between open source and free. In a legitimate open source licensed software copyright and right to change is granted and company cannot sue others just based on copyright like Oracle can sue anyone using Java API.
How is Docker a success from YC? Pretty much the opposite no?
I mean, you have things like the Iowa department of health defining an exposure as 15 consecutive minutes in close proximity, so Iowa schools have been asking children to get up and randomly change seats every 14 minutes. Boom, no exposures via school, right?

I can't recommend enough Carlos Saura's Goya en Burdeos.

It is a wonderful film about this great painter.
If you're interested in looking up more info, the medical term for this is "hypervitaminosis"[1], and is most common with fat soluble vitamins A and D since those can build up in the body more easily than water soluble vitamins.

It seems my comment was more provocative :)

The newer generation of tech people the more they tend to be impaired when it comes to using command line interfaces.

When I started these were a norm and I learned to be proficient well before I started to use graphical applications.

While I can easily move around any graphical application I do circles around other developers I work with when it comes to tasks like operating on files, moving them between servers, etc. even when those people use their best tools they know and have been using for a long time.

Coupled with ability to type fast (yes, I had touch typing on an electric typewriter at school), command line interfaces tend to scale much better with complexity of the operation. Change to a subfolder and maybe a mouse-driven app is going to be faster. Change five levels down, then three levels up, then repeat five times with small variations doing some operations, and mouse user has no chance to keep up.

Also there is only so many things you can click on (ie the surface of the screen) so you have to click on things to uncover other options to click on, and so on. All this is slow because typing is much faster than pointing and clicking. I type 5 to 10 characters per second, easily, and that I think is not possible for a mouse-driven application and touch interfaces are even worse.

Commands basically open an infinite amount of possibilities with very few keystrokes as long as you have experience composing them. On my machine I press ctrl+n and start typing name of the file and I am instantly brought to that file. With a mouse I would first have to navigate to some kind of commander or explorer-like application, start going through folders (assuming I remember where the file is) or maybe click on some kind of search and then browse through results. That takes time and I am usually under a two seconds to reach most files on my system.

My theory is that people who started learning with newer technology that does not afford so much in terms of composability never learned to solve a problem this way. Also the new technology tends to change a lot faster than in the past, making it obsolete sooner which causes people to overlook advantages of learning their tools really well.
If Rust had gone with exceptions, we'd have lost the entire embedded community. You have to realize that -C panic=abort was added in no small part because of a hostile fork of the language that removed the unwinding mechanism.

I happen to like exceptions in principle, but for a lot of low-level embedded code they're a deal breaker.
Google gets paid for clicks but most (or at least many) people bid on conversions, for those people it doesn't matter if google delivers 100 clicks at $2 per click, or 4 clicks at $50 per click as long as they get the same number of conversions, so to this extent the CPC doesn't matter. Similarly, I could care less if 50% of the clicks are fraudulent. As a buyer what I'm judging at the end of the day is if I got the value I wanted for the price I paid. Clicks don't map to value very well, conversion actions do.

Plus, it's not like if there was no click fraud that the auction becomes magically transparent, it's still as opaque as it was before, so really this is the only rational way to purchase ads (off of some basis other than "did the # of clicks meet my expectations?")
> How do you test CLI?

I do not understand this. Has the author used diff or stdin/stdout redirection? Testing CLI is trivial in comparison to testing a GUI or another kind of interface; it is all text and so can easily be compared against a correct result. CLIs are not meant for every task, but one of their core advantages is ease of automation and testing.
congrats to the team!

after a certain sales price, there are very few potential buyers, and unclear if the usual top acquirers would want to pay the premium (google, ms, salesforce, ...). likewise, always risk of things going sideways wrt ipo. $1-3B exit in this situation makes a lot of sense.

more interesting to me is twilio seems to be such an operationally awesome company, going through each phase of growth so well
to me its no surprise at all.

there are good articles and youtube videos on why woman's boobs are sexy.

the common denominator is that in all societies all boobs are considered sexy. lindybeige's channel suggested it may have to do with some sort of trickery. ie the woman wants to be protected so they are always 'full' unlike other animals.

I think the fact that they are considered sexy across all cultures regardless of shape/size tells us something obvious. they are to show the woman is of mating age.
Yes, but it's extremely clunky. The number of times I've had to write out a whole chain of CTEs just because I wanted to apply one window function to the output of another.

In which context, "compostable" is a fantastic Freudian typo.
That's a hack. The where clause itself is not decomposable. But if you made every where clause a single function taking in multiple parameters than yes that function is composable but you're taking extra steps to do a non-traditional coding style.

Not even sure if stored procedures are part of the sql standard.... these seem to me to be just specific syntax additions added on by specific databases.

I mean it works so why not. I could code all my SQL this way.

I have an EB-1A (extraordinary ability).
I can try to help you if you give me some details. Like, why do you want to pursue the EB-1 route ? I ask because, the way you've phrased the question "satisfy the requirements of EB-1", I don't think you fully understand what it entails. Its not like a driver's license you apply at the local DMV - I know how to drive, now give me the license! Its more like - you are making a formal request to the US government. You are then furnishing a ton of documents as proof of your abilities. Even after all that, it's still their call. If they turn you down, that's fully within their right. And they can always do that - it is their country after all. I was always prepared to return to India if they rejected my application. If they approve, its your privilege. The way I view it - I took a shot & the ball went thru the hoop. Doesn't mean everytime I take a shot it will do that. Doesn't mean if somebody else takes a shot & it doesn't go thru the hoop, they are a worse player. afaik, there is no rule in the constitution that says you have satisfied all the requirements of EB1 so you must get EB1. At best, you can apply, but not appeal.
Thank you, your list is great. It would be great if some of the items had a sentence or two with details. For example, I’m not sure exactly “Marketplaces and Existing Platforms” entails.
Although I don't use Microsoft software much these days, one thing I can say about their UI is that keyboard commands usually remain consistent. (This is the main reason I was not completely lost at it when needing to use it on someone else's computer.)
I was an intern at Goldman in the summer of 2010, right after we moved into the new building. One day about halfway through the internship, a VP told me to call him so that he could explain a couple of concepts relevant to a few pages we were putting together for a book (client presentation) due the next day.

Matt spent about 20 minutes on the phone with me walking me through a few derivatives-related topics and it was the most interesting and fun part of the summer by far. That guy is smart and funny -- it's not an act for his column.

He may have thought he was bad at his job but from my perspective he exemplified the good part about working at GS -- really smart people, often with a wicked sense of humor, who go out of their way to help each other out.
Be careful about making electronic payments. I once had the revenooers send me a dunning letter about non-payment of taxes. I sent them a copy of my cancelled check. Problem solved.

I also had an electronic payment made for $700 to the utility company. They said they never got it, but my account was debited. They said take it up with your bank, the bank said take it up with the utility company. After quite a bit of wrangling, I finally demanded to the bank manager that the debit be labelled as "fraudulent" and it be clawed back.

Wonder of wonders, this caused the utility company to magically find the money.

Now I send them paper checks. I also pay my credit card with paper checks, as one time they moved the decimal point over two places (!), and the cancelled check saved me a *
lot* of hassle.

What specific issues are you seeing? I was just trying out Yarn v2 for the first time over the last couple days. I ran the `yarn dlx @yarnpkg/pnpify --sdk vscode` command suggested on their migration guide, and that generated a config file. VS Code then suggested that I add a ZipFS-related extension, and once I did that, I could view typedef files from libraries.

I think this is trying to say you shouldn't build CLI parsing logic into your core functionality, and this makes sense.

Core functionality should be in functions, classes, etc. and a CLI utility can be separately written or synthesized that imports that library, and anything wanting to implement a different interface can do the same.

Isn't that the way it's normally done? Real world example is libcurl and curl command.

I also grew up in a liberal society and what made liberalism so valuable was that institutions were locked into a narrow and boring path.

It's becoming more clear that general humanity has less and less interesting things to say and is clamouring for power via outrage. I'm all for maintaining the vital ability to sort signal from noise outside of class and cash mechanisms. There's got to be some signal left to find though.

Straight commercial censorship is predictable and fightable. The coming danger is thought control from religious people who think their interpretation of what-not-to-do is more important than your liberalism.
Glad you liked it. Working on this as we speak. To be honest I didn't expect people to sign up lol, but since I'm seeing some interest in this, I'll spend some time and do an enhanced version & release it within the next 2-3 days & update everyone who signed up.

Also, the image of the bad check was what got my money refunded. An electronic trail is simply not as good as a paper one when there's a dispute. A cancelled check is gold in a dispute.
Hmm, so 2000IU. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but I guess it really depends on the person.
I was actually dreaming about this the other day! I dreamed of a dress a dancer would wear that would have ultra efficient LEDs embedded every inch along with a power harvesting component and as the person danced, the LEDs that moved fast enough would harvest enough power to light up! I also wanted to add basic communication between LEDs so they could somehow be aware of their surrounding LEDs. Probably too futuristic for today's tech.

It was originally inspired by this talk[1] that Tesla's AI chip team referenced regarding the minimum amount of energy needed to perform a calculation.

Liquidation preference usually just bases itself on the amount of money invested -- If Crunchbase is right, they've "only" raised like $280M, so even with 3x liquidation preference, they're well clear of the $850M number that would trigger any of the annoying rights that strip stock from common sharedholders. Everyone will have done well on this deal.
Only for the tiny sliver of direct sales. There’s a whole industry of middlemen that exists for various reasons.
What you have is a circular structure. foo and bar are distinct objects, so foo == bar is false. However, they are similar objects: they have exactly the same structure. If we had a function for structural comparison which handles cycles, that function would have to conclude that foo and bar are structurally equal. This is because of symmetry in the cycle: bar[0] is foo and, symmetrically, foo[0] is bar. Both foo and bar are one-element lists whose elements are, respectively, bar and foo.
Is there another framework/paradigm to overcome a)?

> Google search is barely political

Search for "american mathematician" on Google and the first six images that come back with the search results are of black mathematicians, 3 of them women.

That is political.

Nothing wrong with female or black mathematicians, the more the better, but that's not how it went down.

If I worked at Google and they asked me to code that, I would have said, "Sure, I can do that", which would be a non-political decision, but whoever decided on how that should be implemented was making a political decision.
Some detail here. What goes on in relational algebra is that the FROMCLAUSE is encoded into an axiomatic primitive called a RELATION and you get stuff like this:

SELECTCLAUSE(WHERECLAUSE(relation)) = relation
WHERECLAUSE(SELECTCLAUSE(relation)) = relation

Basically every operation in relational algebra produces a primitive of type RELATION which allows for all operations to be composed like unix pipes.

My example in the previous post has a flaw where it's not clear what:

SELECTCLAUSE * WHERECLAUSE = ????

will output because there's no meaning to a SQLEXPRESSION without a FROMCLAUSE. But hopefully it illustrates the point. I'm putting this here for anyone who's nitpicky about the details. The relational algebra syntax is much more elegant.
It is click bait, none of the arguments hold.
That and the new interface is awful. Even clicking into a thread you see like 5 comments and a ton of “suggestions” for similar threads. Not to mention all the wasted real-estate and whatever that “picture in picture” style of opening links is..

Its just terribly done by pretty much any metric.

While your reasoning might be true for your (1) case, in (2) ...

"a violinist who spent 1 year learning how to play" absolutely will not be able to teach you vs someone who spent 10 years. It takes about 2 years to sound not like a dying cat on the violin (you can ask anyone), and about 3-5 years to sound "ok". Vibrato itself take about 5-6 years to develop. Intonation (whether you are playing the right note) takes about 2 years to get a sense of, and 3-6 years to say "ok I know when I'm off", and about 15 years (ie more than your 10 year example) to say "ok I know how to improve".

At 10 years, a violin player is just getting over being a beginner into a moderate level.

Relying on a 1 year old violin player to teach you to play is begging for injuries (yes - playing the violin is an unnatural position and there are ways you can permanently injure yourself - imagine not being able to type ever again because your hands hurt) and possibly permanent burnout from the whole "learning to play music" enterprise.

No. In violin learning make sure you find someone who at least has gotten past the initial hurdles themselves to mentor you.

I can understand if you use some example like writing or journalism or photography to explain the "curse of knowledge" but violin playing isn't one of those things.

I play the violin on an amateur level, and am about 7 years into my journey. I am only now at a level where I am able to give some tips without having to indemnify myself from permanently disabling people who ask me to teach them.
I initially thought there was a mistake referring to "UI" instead of "IU", but it looks like it's a European thing. The authors' names look Italian. I guess it got lost in translation.
It's not benign. Your comment is an example of rich people hitting the easy button, and still being considered a "success" when doing so. Also I'd prefer public institutions to not be reliant on magic philanthropists or rich people with dumb kids. Just tax rich people more and build the needed buildings from public funds.

I live in Seattle and taking 2000 UI daily barely got me to “sligtly deficient”. Now I upgraded to 4000 UI daily hoping to get to the lower part of the normal range.

I talked to the doctor and she told me that among blood tests she ordered most people have slightly/moderately deficient levels, very few low normal, and over the years only one person tested high normal (i.e. when taking supplement would be detrimental).

Moral of the story - do a blood test, but if you live in high-ish lattitudes, most likely you have vitamin D deficiency.

It is highly contestable that millions of dollars ending up in the already mega-wealthy Ivy league colleges is a public good.

Considering how this could possibly be a public good, the most obvious way is that money into these institutions produces knowledge that then produces benefits in wider society. This fits mostly with the definition:

> In economics, a public good (also known as a social good or collective good) is a good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous, in that individuals cannot be excluded from use or could benefit from without paying for it, and where use by one individual does not reduce availability to others or the good can be

It is true that in some cases education produces knowledge which itself becomes non-excludable and non-rivalrous, or that knowledge produces some other good which is both those things, but the multi-million dollar donations to Ivy-league colleges made by the super-rich so that their children participate in elite networks is pretty tenuously tied to this mechanism of 'education as a public good'.
