Hey, thanks for nice words!

Dodgy install -> well true we ask you to run something, but I have seen quite a few prominent tools use this method of installation:
NVM: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating
Haskell Stack: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-insta...
Nextflow: https://www.nextflow.io

How would you go about it? We do plan to have packages for different distributions at some point, but unless it gets into the official repos, it is not any safer, it can still run any code and nobody checked it, am I right?
Even if it was npm package, we would still have the same problem if I am correct, it can run anything?
Maybe I am getting this wrong hm, I am happy to hear your suggestions!

Hm interesting question with node requirement and npm package. Long term idea is that Wasp might not have only Node backend as an option, but also other backends, and in that case it won't require Node. So that would be the main reason. Compiler itself does not need node to function, generated code needs it.

Ha the logo, we grew fond of the current one but it would be cool to also have an alternative "wasp" logo :)! Buuut if you squint and use a lot of imagination you can imagine "=}" to represent a wasp (antennae, wings and spike :D?)
I really dislike Windows but Microsoft is doing everything it can lately to please developers. It's kind of working, I have to say.
Oh yes! To Grandfather or not to Grandfather! That dilemma!

I understand they are still using the same functionality they had at signup time, and are still on the same API version, so not taking advantage of new direct functionality.

Yes, of course there is a bunch of indirect functionality or magic behind the scenes, but from a company lifetime perspective, when you enter into an agreement with a service provider, you would expect a relatively constant delivery of services, at the agreed prices, especially if your needs have not changed.

There are many companies that upon adding new functionality or services, decide to grandfather. New direct functionality comes at new prices, even if you are inherently benefitting from the new stuff.

Three I can think of, Zendesk, Customer.io and Geckoboard grandfathered our plans.

When it is easy to switch providers, grandfathering is not that important, but if you're tightly integrated, which pretty much everyone doing volume on stripe is, then you're screwed. You can't leave.

Even if you negotiate custom pricing, there is a knock on the door one day saying, "new pricing in place. Take it or leave"
Maybe, if all of China’s political leaders are invested in apartments.
> Where you come down on this issue should really be based on whether you think a marketplace cut of revenue with extremely onerous conditions that prevent even minor bypasses should be legal or not when distribution on said marketplace constitutes 50% of the consumer market in the sector

This is a court case. Not a legislative session.

Where you come down on it should be based on the law. I believe the law should be changed. But based on existing law, it is difficult to find for Epic. Epic's strategy is, in effect, a high-risk lobbying endeavor.
Already done that. We're considering suing the landlord. I'm working on a restraining order against the neighbor, as well.

Permaculture Gardening: A Sustainable Arrangement
Yes, I am aware from my brief read of the paper. I took the logical leap into touching upon embedded ML. I should point out that the current achievable complexity of embedded neural networks doesn't at the moment remove edge ML from being the method of choice where on-device inferencing isn't applicable. Edge ML is already alleviating much backhaul traffic otherwise generated by cloud inferencing. There are many scenarios where the latency introduced by transmission over network to cloud servers is prohibitive. Also where power contraints are not applicable nor remote operation absolutely vital (in the forest, as an animal tag, on oil platforms, etc) an edge hub to the sensor spokes is the way to approach a problem.
One, that's some nice editorializing on the paper title.

Two, Walter R. Mebane, an expert on election fraud, had a response to that paper: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/political-analysis/a...

And three, Mebane also released a short paper reviewing the 2020 results: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/inapB.pdf

tl;dr: There are very minor anomalies in some numbers but either way we have to wait till we get the final numbers in before we can do real analysis.
Very nice, and I can understand this one.
>People on HN always think they deserve to be treated better than others

I have noticed a significant attitude of, "I originally signed up for this product with 'x' cost and 'x' features, and you have zero right to change anything about that."

It seems like a basic contract negotiation process would ferret that out - I thought that was a business thing to do. I work in higher ed, and we absolutely have to have contracts for all third-party vendors; any changes are negotiated with the start of new contracts. If we can figure it out, surely startups can - we're not really all that good at efficiency.
(Stripe cofounder.)

Hi folks -- as Edwin points out elsewhere in the thread, the article title isn't accurate. (I'll update or delete my comment if it's fixed.)

[Update: it was changed. It used to read "Stripe is now charging 0.5% more for recurring charges."]

You can happily make recurring charges yourself and no additional fees are incurred. Lots of Stripe customers do this and we don't charge anything extra for it.

If you decide to use Stripe Billing, which is a separate product, we charge for that. Stripe Billing's pricing hasn't changed in a few years. What's changing is that we're ending the several-year grace period where we didn't charge anything for Stripe Billing for businesses who started to use this functionality before 2018.

Charging for Billing helps us fund a lot more investment in it -- we've gone from very basic cron-like functionality to a pretty full-featured subscriptions management tool. (You can read more at https://stripe.com/billing.) Billing is now sophisticated enough that companies like Slack and Atlassian are using and paying for it. We've built things like "Smart Dunning" (which improves revenue recovery for failed charges by about 14%), better analytics, international payment method and invoicing support, and a whole host of other features. There are now more than 30 people working on improving Billing.

Importantly, Stripe Billing is (and will remain) significantly cheaper than most of the other competitors in the space.
We really need a way to facilitate money transfer between one or more parties. There are way too many middlemen (credit card processor, credit card network, bank fees, merchant fees, exchange network fees, ...) that artificially inflate the cost of products and services.

This is likely worsened when you consider transactions between parties in different countries.
Vouch Proxy [1] dev here

Thanks for posting this @devy!

I'd love to hear how you're using VP and if it's been of use to your company.

If you have any questions about Vouch Proxy please feel free to post them here. I'll check in over the next few days.

uBlock Origin is glorious.

Safari 14 has resolved an inconsistent, tedious bug I kept experiencing (most often on reddit): changing the URL query parameters in the address bar and hitting return immediately resulted in the page merely being reloaded. Had to wait a solid second or so before hitting return to have a decent chance of getting the correct page.

But I've grown much, much too fond of this "No Javascript unless I say so, etc etc" experience to give it up without a substantial other benefit.
The core issue is that setup.py can be non-deterministic, so them doing it server side may not give the right results.

No, but repeatedly saying “it’s not correct to generalize”, does.
I'm surprised you didn't try one of the more mainstream stable-but-current distros, like Fedora or openSUSE.
> Just lost a few hundred Tabs from last session. Not the first time this has happened to me on Safari. ( Firefox used to have this problem as well, they implemented multiple LastSession.json to combat the problem and it is basically a thing of the past. )

You can restore the old plist with this to get them back, if you had it backed up in Time Machine or something. It's annoying but it's saved me a couple times.
Fantastic comment, thank you so much. I've been following Aurora for a while but a little curious (and skeptical) about sharp edges vs vanilla PG. If I may ask you a follow-on question, who do you think Aurora would be the right fit for?
Yikes! This thread. First time I’ve seen negative comments on Stripe like this on HN. I guess this is what happens when you grow! You eventually become one of ‘them’, start squeezing for the same reasons the folks in the last cycle did, and the cycle repeats.

Apple Music the service is fine. Apple Music the macOS app is shamefully bad. Never in my life have I used a piece of software from a major tech company that's so totally bug-ridden. It's shocking.

Anytime I see 'evidence based', I can't help but think "my opinion for which I've cherry picked data".
I spent a few years working at a search startup. I would say Google is ready to squash competition like a bug but really you're more like a bug getting splatted on their windscreen. Most of the time they don't even consider you to be competition. Maybe in some ways that's a good thing - if they don't consider you to be a threat then you've got some room to innovate. Until you get big enough that you show up on their radar... then they can just copy whatever you've been doing differently.
Wait.. they've already announced specs for a M2 chip?
They'll just disable downloading it on macOS.
> I just posted a link to latest Trump tweet, and got flagged.

The tweet you was about an item of political controversy excessively well-covered in the mainstream media (making it generally off-topic even as an independent story for HN), and was not at all germane to the post about Benford's law that it was offered as a comment on (making it off-topic as a comment on that post.)

There are venues in which linking that tweet might be appropriate, one can even imagine a hypothetical HN comment thread on which it might be on-topic. However, it wasn't on-topic where it was offered.

> Don't understand why simply reporting something as relevant as what Trump tweeted is reason enough to get flagged. when its directly relevant to this article

Trump's tweets -- well, this Trump tweet, I suppose its theoretically possibly he might sometime tweet something where this would not be true -- are completely irrelevant to the utility of Benford's law in detecting voting fraud.

> and what your president tweeted is news worthy

Conventional newsworthiness (because we have a conventional newsmedia) is generally tangential and often a negative to HN-relevance.

> When your president retweets that 2.7 million votes where deleted during this election by dominion software.

Were this a thread about Dominion software, or about the general incidence of electoral fraud, or about this particular election at all, there might be an argument that that was relevant. Its not, and its not.

> I made no claims of its validity

Even if the tweet were otherwise relevant, its validity, whether or not you make an explicit representation about it, is not irrelevant to the question of whether it should be upvoted, downvoted, flagged, or simply left unmoderated when presented here.
> demanding sufficient evidence that there is reason to expend resources looking for a problem before taking them seriously

Isn't that what's happening? They make their claims, others dispute them, it's a public debate. The original post was an objection to "talking about fraud" -- but talking about it is part of the process of evaluating whether the evidence is sufficient. The answer could be no, but you don't know that before you hear them out.

> especially if they are the apparently-defeated candidate.

It would be interesting to know of a case in which the apparently-victorious candidate was making allegations of election fraud sufficient to affect the outcome.
There are plenty of research done on gendered words. Like highlighting your own personal excellence or skill is more masculine etc. There are also of course that men and women tend to have different hobbies and therefore spends their free time doing different things. So one new grad might have done some leadership roles in a horse club while the other maybe did some chess competitions.

It shouldn't matter. But the system was designed to track trajectories of recognised objects. So every time it changed its mind about what it was looking at it started recalculating the trajectory. By the time it settled down it was too late to avoid the fatal accident.

Don't assume that self-driving software is designed with even a minimal level of competence.

You're not wrong to be concerned. You just have to weigh that concern against the concern of a pandemic.

This vaccine is being put on rush. That doesn't mean cutting corners, but it does mean that it won't have the decades of experience we have with the childhood vaccinations and flu vaccination (which is new each year but based on long-tested technologies).

That's a different calculus from the anti-vaxxer, who is ignoring mounds of evidence collected over many years, in favor of opinions from non-experts or agenda-driven fraudsters.

You do need to consider that there is both good evidence for it working safely, and solid theory why it should. It's not snake oil: you can't rule out unexpected interactions, but you do know that it's not just guessing or fakery.

I'd love for there to be more data than that, but there is no way to develop a vaccine with techniques that have a proven record without millions of people dying in the process. And tens of millions more suffering debilitating mental and physical illnesses, perhaps for the rest of their lives. These are the known effects of the disease.

As so often in life, you will have to make an important decision based on insufficient information. The best you can do in this case is to defer to people who have more information than you do. If the large consensus of the immunology community is that it's reasonably safe, that should carry considerably more weight than premature class-action lawsuits. You're right to be uneasy, but it would shift the balance to a belief that it's a risk worth taking over the known dangers of a disease.

Finally, since it's a worldwide test, it's less likely that it could be covered up or promulgated for local political ends. (Regardless of how you feel about the outcome of the US election, it is at least over.)

Fortunately, and grimly, the odds are the vaccine will have many months more of testing before it gets to you. It will be in very widespread use and side effects will almost certainly make themselves known.
We went form "Go is 50x more lines of code than C#" to "C# code is not that bigger than Go". The OP was dramatically wrong about Go being more verbose than C# when the exact opposite is true.

Go has support for assembly and supports SIMD intrinsics just fine. See for example https://github.com/bamiaux/rez/blob/master/vscalers_amd64.s

My point is that if you want to KNOW which language is faster (as opposed to trying to PROVE that YOUR language is faster) you wouldn't compare a C# code optimized with SIMD intrinsics with Go code that doesn't use SIMD intrinsics.

The problem with BenchmarksGame is that it doesn't try to enforce apples-to-apples benchmarks.

It's fun thing to see how far you can push a given implementation if you're willing to spend a lot of time on it.

It compares implementation of the benchmark code, not the quality of the compilers on the code that you'll actually write in real life.
Did you end up staying with your current processor or swiping to Stripe?
Courts can and do make new laws and undo laws all the time. Whether or not they should is another matter entirely, but it is well within the court's power to reinterpret laws quite liberally.
I think it is fuzzy. How do we define this line? Cults will often confine people to a location until they have been sufficiently brainwashed. At which point they will let them loose, often used to gain more followers. Are these people captive?

But maybe using captive in only a pejorative sense is the problem. I don't think my cat hates me (quite the opposite!), rather she follows me around like a puppy dog and is clearly excited when I get home. But it is difficult for me to conclude that she is free.

I really think the term is fuzzy and the boundaries are not clearly defined. If that is true, then hyperbole can be useful for us to question and refine that boundary. Questioning if we ourselves are captive when we don't realize it. After all, that's what Huxley portrayed. I don't think people in his story would consider themselves captive, but outsiders would. We could say the same about cults or certain followings. To one faith may be shackles and to another it may be liberating. The boundary isn't clear.
I don't see the same broad amount of services launched out of Azure as I do from AWS, and definitely not from GCP.

They don't claim having inventors of the language, but language designers and contributors.

For example Brett Cannon is also at MSFT, he is a core developer and member of steering council for Python, he also qualifies along Guido for this claim in Python.
Thanks for this link. I took a course on logic programming in school and it made a big impression. I found Prolog to be pretty mindblowing at the time and I'm happy to see it still is.
>Comparing Phone games to desktop ones

Yeah but where is the border? There are lot of games on iOS that are basically the same as on PC/consoles maybe with a different UI and lower graphics. But you get the same features and experience.

You can now play GTA San Andreas on your Mac cause it was released on iOS. And it's one of the best game ever https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/i...

Genshin Impact which is currently one of the hottest game? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/genshin-impact/id1517783697

I see no difference really
Is it actually comparable to new Nvidia or AMD offerings? I have a feeling that Intel wastes environment by polluting the earth with sub par products lately. They need to release something remarkably better than the competition or it is likely game over.
That's a rumor, but yes, it's exciting.
I find it hard to side with anyone but Apple here. Apple built not only the marketplace but the actual devices themselves. Apple is giving developers a marketplace of users with powerful processors, fast internet connections, and credit cards already connected. Installing an app is easier on a smartphone than any desktop. A big cut is well worth deserved, and the contract terms seem pretty fair. I can't see how Epic wins this one -- not only did they agree to the contract, the contract isn't particularly outrageous, in my mind. Compare it to something like a movie theater. The movie theater gets almost no box-office revenue. Apple lets you keep most of it.
I don't do much Javascript, but I need choose a front-end for a project I'm working on. It looks like Vue has an official router, an official store (Vuex), official testing tools, and an official browser plugin. I assume that everyone just uses the Vue version of things. Where is the fragmentation?

> Is there a cost-based rationale for doing a percentage-based pricing model

Liability scales with transaction size.
You're not entirely wrong, but there are significant lifestyle changes that contribute to this. Versus the golden years of single-income households, we:

1. Go out to eat and for entertainment MUCH, MUCH more often.
2. Take more frequent, more distant, and much more lavish vacations.
3. Live in homes that are approximately 40% larger.
4. Purchase many more electronics and other semi-durable consumer goods.
5. Purchase much more clothing.
6. Drive more, and newer vehicles.
7. Eat many more calories (obesity necessitates higher health care costs)

For most people in the US: if you downsized your home, traveled on a modest vacation once every two years, limited eating out to special occasions only, wore the same set of clothing for years on end, owned a single, used but dependable car for the entire household, watched two movies per year, etc, you'd probably be able to run a single-income household in 2020.
> Can I post the source behind his tweet.

Its clearly not relevant to this piece on the applicability of Benford's law. While I personally think its inappropriate for HN for a number of reasons, others might disagree and we have community moderation tools to resolve that disagreement, and it would at least be less inappropriate submitted as an independent story, rather than a comment on this one.
100% agree. We still need to know two important things:

- Notification system integration

- File management integration

I think if they get that right Apple does indeed have a game changer.

Basically you connect it to your bike computer and it puts a little line along the side, cars appear as dots on the line and move along it as they get closer to you and your computer emits audible beeps when it detects a car. Has a different, more urgent beep when it detects a large vehicle like a lorry or a bus, or if a vehicle is travelling at a high speed relative to you.

Highly recommend it, haven't had any false negatives (obviously I still look over my shoulder, it's just nice to know a car's coming from a distance away and if they're going very fast).
While there's nothing new here, it's good to see some real numbers from a big organisation. It shifts the discussion about effectiveness from opinions to fact. Next time someone says 'no on does that' or 'costs way too much in practice' we can point to this.
