Interesting. Here is a comparison of the two rules_scala implementations: https://github.com/higherkindness/rules_scala/issues/261
It depends. By marketplace, what people mean here is that Amazon is taking zero risk on the inventory. They are merely providing a place to list it. (Along with maybe some other paid services such as fulfillment and inventory management.) Retailers sometimes operate under this model.

But retails also sometimes operate under the model where the inventory on their shelves was purchased by them from the manufacturer or distributor. They are taking the risk on the inventory, and not selling means they are losing money. The manufacturers and distributors were already paid.

So, I reflect a question back to you: If it's all your owned inventory, what does it matter what name is on the box? No matter what, you the retailer are getting your sale and making the profit. This is not true of the marketplace model. There, whitelabels are directly competing for every sale, and no sales means no money to the manufacturers of those other products.

All this is also heavily discounting the fact that Amazon also owns the search. Some people equate this to product placement on shelves, but it's really more like there's two stores. The first store is all Amazon stuff, and you have to walk through that store to get to the second store, where other sellers are.
There are sometimes problems, sure, but compared to Linux, where an application compiled 2 years ago for the same distro often won't work on the current version, it's pretty damned good at compatibility.

Actually it does, and in some countries this is required by law. Here is the definition of militia: "An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers."

This is a last resort army, and in fact every able body citizen able to take up arms is already a "member".

And what will training do? If you train someone crazy who wants to kill people, this doesn't take their desire to kill people away does it? Dems keep leaning on that training as if it's a silver bullet but in reality it will do nothing. The democratic politicians holding, how come they've never been seen at a range if training is so important? This sounds like the dems saying everybody but them needs some training again. Not likely to get traction.

Every time you turn an inkjet printer on and regularly if it stays on, it will squirt some ink on a sort of pad or in a padded reservoir. This is to avoid the cartridge to clog (and maybe also forcing people to buy new ink, but it is probably hard to prove what is the right amount for just unclogging).

From my experience most games work fine when switching away. However I know that Don't Starve Together and some other games really freak out. (I've been lucky enough not to see any crashes though)

What I have found is that running games under Wayland (via XWayland) makes a lot of games behave better. I don't know exactly why this is but I suspect they are trying to manipulate a bunch of settings like fullscreen/input grabbing/display resolution which just get ignored by Wayland. So basically the extra restrictions of Wayland stop them from shooting themselves in the foot.

On the downside my NVIDIA GPU can't be used on Wayland...
So basically, it can't protect against all out war on it's citizens, or a oppressive government willing to kill innocents in order to terrorise the population; but it could protect against softer power grabs or coups.

I still have no idea why people don't buy printers by first looking at what refills cost. It is simply baffling. The only way to penalize manufacturers that practice this type of anti-consumerism is to stop buying their products, not coming up with work-arounds. The average toner cartridge replacement from HP is $150. My Ricoh C261SFWn's replacement cartridge from Ricoh is $50. The quality is just as good and the Ricoh machine itself was cheaper than an HP. No brainer.
That's what I bought a Rollo thermal printer for years ago for around $150.

Never spend on ink for shipping things again.
Whatsup is "end to end encrypted", but I had seen an article here on HN about how Whatsup would snatch your data before it begun transit, if needed - for "security reasons" - after performing a local analysis on the messages.

Based on the numbers employees got 7.5% of the payout. There seems to be 5 current employees on LinkedIn and possibly some earlier employees who bought out their equity. That seems roughly a standard equity split for employees which just goes to show you how depressingly low the standard equity grants are for employees. As people say, don't join a startup to get rich unless you're the founder.
Yeah, the Multics thing seems pretty definitive for me, it's clearly "print working directory". It also makes sense in context with the other basic UNIX commands: they're almost all actions or active verb phrases in some form. "Change directory", "list files, "touch", "concatenate", etc. It makes sense, because they're all programs you run that does stuff, they're not variables you read. So "pwd" as the active "print working directory" makes a lot more sense than the noun phrase "pathname of working directory", which sounds much more like a variable name, not a command name.
And that gets truly annoying when you need to travel outside the EU, or buy from non Dutch online stores.

Honest question for those in the know: at what point in history did non-adjacent invasions become feasible and beneficial?

This is off topic but I’m assuming difficult-to-gather DSP peers will be in this comments section.

I have run into the limit of double precision floating point when making high order (20+) IIR filters in MATLAB. My solution in the past has been FIR filters and waiting a long time. I recently experimented with alternative forms of IIR representation. I found that converting from transfer function (B,A) to zero-pole-gain (z,p,k) form, then to second order sections (sos,g) form, then using the MATLAB filter function, the issues with double floating point precision go away in my use cases.

Is this a well known trick that I just stumbled upon?

Hi Hacker News!

This summer I wanted to learn some new technologies, in particular Postgres, Hasura and Tailwind. To learn these technologies in a fun way I made HackerDaily. It’s a way to read Hacker News in a more informative and less addictive way.

I love the articles and conversations on Hacker News, the articles shared are enlightening and the conversations often add insight and nuance to the articles. Despite many HN users complaining that “it isn’t what it used to be” I think its still an awesome resource and one of the most civil communities on the internet. The problem is that (like all social platforms) it easily becomes too much of a slot machine. I think there are two main reasons. Firstly, it's the constantly changing website: every few minutes the front page changes. Secondly, it's easier to just read the comments than the articles themselves, since the articles are on a (often unknown) website that takes time to load; it also takes time to orient yourself with a new design before you can start reading the article itself.

HackerDaily is built to alleviate these problems as well as a few others:

- The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So, the posts on the front page get updated once a day (at midnight, your local time) and they are sorted by their score (only posts with a score above a hundred are shown).

- The articles are readable in an outline.com style so you don’t have to load a whole new webpage to read an article (and get the usual spam, pop-ups, and cookies). The webpages from which an article could be extracted are marked by the book icon in front of the title

- It has an improved collapsing comment system

- It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app

- It has a dark mode

- It's open source[1]

Maybe some of you can also find value in it. Any feedback is appreciated!

This is true and works for a lot of things (I love the web and publish a lot of web apps). However there is currently a very significant performance penalty both due to the available graphics APIs and due to WASM or JS vs native CPU performance. So for games with demanding graphics the web isn't that attractive of a target.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it visually shows you your current git status and lets you manipulate it using an interface that provides a thin wrapper around git commands. It provides all the functionality of git in a convenient and discoverable way.

Roadmap to Landing Your Next Job as a Software Engineer
You seem pretty sure of yourself— you must know his existing savings and cost of living?
And via GDNative in theoretically any language (and practically at least C, C++, Rust).
First, sure, if games didn't do complex things, it would be easier to support. But they do. So it is hard.

Also, it's much more complicated than that. When running in exclusive fullscreen mode (which almost all fullscreen games did before about 5 years ago), they have to do stuff like restore the original display resolution, tear down their graphics stack, and restore all of that when bringing the window back up. Many games depend on a very particular sequence of window messages during that process, including D3D handling some of those messages on their behalf in certain ways. In the case of non-exclusive or windowed mode games, they may choose to stop reading controller input, stop rendering, stop sending audio, etc. All of that requires correct window notifications in the correct order, and support in Wine for correctly tearing down and restoring all of those things.

And all that is just on the Windows side of the equation, you also need to tear down the Linux graphics stack and manage how X thinks about the windows in a way that the window manager will do the right thing for the user, without doing the /wrong/ thing for the app from the Windows perspective. For example if the WM chooses to resize the window when it requests fullscreen mode, at a time when Windows does not, then we have to ignore those messages, or the game will suddenly be rendering at the wrong size (or worse, infinite loop as the WM and the game fight over the window sizes... yeah, that happened[1]).

It's a nightmare. I've spent months and months on this stuff, and other devs have spent even more. If it was easy to fix, it would be fixed, I promise you :)

> I don't know what you think git-flow is, but a linear history it is not.

Your statement makes no sense at all. Gitflow is a workflow. What do you believe it's supposed to be? It's irrelevant how you see commit histories, because with regards to the master/mainline branch it's always linear, isn't it?

What do you personally believe gitflow is?

> Quoting the original git-flow post:

I don't know what you expected to show, but you are only describing a workflow. Changes are made in dedicated branches, and later these changes are merged back into the master/mainline branch in a single commit, which is expected to have been validated and tested and working. That's a workflow. How the log ends up looking is entirely indifernet or irrelevant, isn't it?

Again, what do you personally believe is the whole point of a workflow like git flow, specially in light of allowing large teams to continuously integrate their work ? I mean, what do you believe is the whole point of getting devs to work on branches independent of what changes go into master/mainline, and leave merging as a last step that's the responsibility of the developer prposing a change?

I think we should talk! :) From your description I know exactly where you work and which other Python based system you're talking about )

I have been in the industry for 20 years myself as a quant, mostly using Excel as a "glue" layer indeed, and I worked with the Python based "clone" you mentioned too.

That's exactly right, although over time "nobility" added a layer of polish and distance which allowed it to pretend that nobles were more refined, more intelligent, and generally better people - when in fact they were just the most successful crooks.

This continued all the way through the 20th century, where the disposable deplorables did the fighting while the aristocracy profited.

There were even strong links to drugs. Look up the history of the opium wars for details.

Most of the UK's country estates were built from the profits of slavery, drugs, and colonialism - which is just nation-scale feudal conquest painted over with flag-waving patriotism.
Pathname actually makes a lot more sense when you really think about it.
A print working directory command might be expected to give all sorts of details about the dir path, permissions, access/modify/change dates, contents. If I had to guess I think I might expect it to list the contents, like ls -1 does.
Pathname working directory you would pretty much only ever expect to do exactly what PWD does.

None of his employees were there that long from what I can tell. The initial employees got laid off I think 4 years ago and were probably there 1-3 years (who knows if any bought out their equity). Current employees were there 1-3 years. Only two current engineers from what I can tell. It also depends on how much salary they were paid as many people will take cash over equity.

Is that an important distinction? Near as I can tell the main differences are,

- It's probably easier for merchants to sell in a marketplace than through a retailer, and

- Suppliers probably get paid by retailers earlier than they get paid by marketplaces.

Though neither point is necessarily true, and I'm not really sure there's a hard distinction to be made, and I'm not convinced any difference is morally important here.

I could be wrong on any of those points though, and would be glad to hear why if I am.
