Isn't that what the parent you are replying to is talking about with "Right now you have to cobble this together from different tools that are all pretty suboptimal."
"Taking responsibility for what you say" often equals being attacked or ostracized for deviating from the Correct Opinion. Anonymity is often required for freedom of expression.

Give a person a mask and he'll tell you the truth, and all that.
They messed up, but it's good that they admitted to the mistake and explained exactly how they made it.
May be oversimplification but I reason that this stems from the two cultures having opposed attitudes towards the "weird":

USA: focus on, make fun of, pretend niche is bigger than it is

Japan: pretend it doesn't exist, ignore

That may allow some Japanese to indulge in weirder stuff that would not be tolerated in the US, but what Americans may not understand is that this stuff is still seen as weird/non-conforming/shameful by most Japanese.

EDIT: Genuinely interested as to the reason for the downvotes. Plain wrong? Just stupid?
When I bought the car, I was pretty much a skeptic in multiple dimensions and intended to return it in the seven day window if I didn’t like it. It ended up being like my initial reaction to the iPhone only having a touchscreen: the car, to me at least, just feels right.
I meant up front you'd need to write more functions than you would when using functions that allow multiple arguments.
Yes, but not a lot. It still adds up over time though!
true and should hit home with most, but still flawed. especially the biting conclusion.

> Not by going back through our history and figuring out what caused the Personal Computer Revolution. Which is a shame.

the thing is, these aren’t the days of the PC revolution. there is a baseline complexity which is easily an order of magnitude greater than the most complex systems of that day. to stick with the concept of a single machine, just the ME in a PC today is more complex than the entire machine back then. mostly to our benefit.
Do you know Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone or Welcome to the Edge by Billie Hughes? I certainly don't.

Most of the others are played relentlessly in corner shops, malls and radio stations. I've heard so many Carpenters songs now I may as well be trapped in the 70s.

I'm actually trying to customize a 'tracktyl' (Dactyl manuform keyboard with thumb trackball)(1). Qqurn has code up at gitlab(2) that can generate layouts with thumb cluster, trackball, or joystick. The code can create .stl files to be used with 3d printers, as well as viewed on-line for sanity checking. Interestingly, the original code was clojure, but migrated to python. Oh! And QMK is awesome for keyboard mapping, macros, etc!

It' a shame the rest of the world has can be impacted at the whim of U.S lawmakers given that so many major sites are U.S based.

I wonder what it would take to have a more global distribution of hosts? Or is it impossible for a creator/developer who is based in the U.S. to avoid this even if the site were to be hosted elsewhere?
Evidently my previous guess (in another exchange upthread) that the Fed data was adjusted for inflation was incorrect. Here's an inflation adjusted chart of crude oil prices:

So, not "Nope".

Also, crude oil is not all there is to "energy". Here are a couple of other charts:

I did read the article. Saying your now small team to be "careful" is not a real solution which I mentioned in my comment. What do you mean by expressing my superiority? Expressing my opinion backed by my own professional experience which happened to disagree with your own?

Given what I found in the link I posted in response, I think the answer is "nominal".
I know what a state monopoly on violence means. The fact that you care about "India's image" as a business attraction rather than the plight of those workers who were paid a measly 7$ a month was what I was talking about.
Do not confuse end-to-end functional tests that this article is describing for smaller “unit” tests that you typically might express in quick check/mutation testing (at least as I understand the space).
I once worked for a Jewish think-tank.[1] People would regularly send all manner of material with dubious--i.e. racially prejudiced--connections to Israel or Jews. I remember someone once sent a huge tome--literally hundreds of pages, if not more than 1000--which purported to show that Muhammed was schizophrenic. At the time I just assumed the author was possibly schizophrenic himself, or otherwise possessed of some mental disorder as was so often the case. (Your run-of-the-mill anti-semite or Islamophobe doesn't have the stamina to write such a long work.) Only later in life would I learn and realize that the whole idea of prophets as schizophrenics is rooted in (or at least could be rooted in) an interesting, legitimate hypothesis. But my opinion of such inquiries, particularly when focused at established religions, was largely the same then as it is now: it feels disrespectful and pointless, like a physicist accosting a group of Catholics with literature about how transubstantiation is impossible, or a biologist explaining the implausibility of a virgin birth. It's far more likely that the itch being scratched is some kind of animus toward or other peculiar interest in the group; not a serious, scientific pursuit. And indeed if you read the above paper or Google the author, it's obvious that he does have an ulterior motive regarding what he believes should have been the rightful evolution of Mormon theology and practice. In other words, for whatever scientific merit this paper might have, it's probably better to approach it as a theological squabble. Or don't approach it at all--the "spiritual" potential of hallucinogenic compounds is hardly in dispute by anyone, and so subjecting oneself to such a work is merely to dive into a theological dispute, of which there are countless and counting.

[1] It was principally concerned with fostering U.S.-Israeli military ties. Most of it's members didn't identify as Jewish, though the name of the organization had "Jewish" in it, and most of the staff identified as such.
Did you find these obsessions to be more common than e.g. in the US or Europe? It seems we have a lot of people who are weirdly obsessive about their niche hobbies / interests as well...

From what I can tell, it would seem like it. Though I don't understand why it wouldn't be ideal.

People forget the smartphone market before the iPhone came out. There was actually some pretty decent smartphones that looked like they came from the future. I remember dreaming about being able to buy a Nokia N95 with a touchscreen and pen. It actually wasn't that far off from what an iPhone does. From the N95 wiki:

"The N95's main competitors during its lifetime were the LG Prada, Apple's iPhone, Sony Ericsson's W950i and K850. The N95 managed to outsell its rivals. Despite Apple's much-hyped iPhone with its multi-touch technology, thin design and advanced web capabilities, the N95 had several key features against the iPhone, such as its camera with flash, video camera, Bluetooth file sharing, 3G and 3.5G connectivity, GPS, third-party applications and several other features."

Apple saw what everyone else was doing and triangulated something differentiated on what they know Apple users want. They will do the same thing with this car. It is much better to be Apple than to be Tesla at this point if your goal is to ship 100k's of cars. Most of Apple's target market for a car is still driving german cars. Apple has learned everything it didn't already know from Tesla, and can now execute on what it does know best to win. Tesla is a Nokia N95 that has the stock price of an iPhone. Short TSLA, long AAPL.
No idea. Does it? Never studied topology.
No, the symbol is called a tilde in Spanish, where it's part of the writing system. It's unused in English and therefore doesn't really have a name, but people who have learned Spanish may call it a tilde. If you were studying Greek, you'd call it a "circumflex". (Or, if you were Greek, you'd call it a "perispomene".)

Spelling it as "tilda" just reflects the fact that a reduced vowel in English may be spelled in any number of different ways (and "e" is particularly unlikely); we can assume that superkuh is more familiar with the word orally than in writing.
You can rename the levels to play them. That may be of some use ;)
> I've lived in Japan going on six years and was initially surprised by how ordinary things were

I've visited Japan many times over the years, during my first time I was amazed by it all. Even though I spend many years in Asia at that point, and had gotten used to the culture, Tokyo was different. After a few days that feeling wore off, and the things that were different compared to other cities just became normal. I went back last year, and I'm still amazed by the city, but there's not really many things that stand out anymore.

But one thing I've learned after almost 10 years in Asia, things that look "weird" to Westerners, are often completely normal to people living in Asia. And things that are "normal" in the West might be weird to people in Asia. (That really goes for any kind of cultural difference)
Show HN: Machine, a go library for stream processing
First show HN, be gentle haha

I wrote what I think is a nice library for building stream processors in golang and am looking to build a community and get user feedback. If you process data, enjoy CQRS, or enjoy golang give it a look!

Features:

- Easy to work with builder API

- Support for yaegi based serialization for dynamic data pipelines

- Built in opentelemetry support

- Prewritten interface implementations for Kafka, SQS, redis streams, and Google pub/sub

- Command for generating new projects (similar to cobra)

Some of the finger pointing at China may be unfair but clearly they knew a lot about the virus while letting their citizens travel outside. Not that the West would’ve handled it any better necessarily but when you seed the world with virus there is going to be some blowback.
That figure includes the gains, and represents approximately how much college will cost in 13 years if trends continue. My point was that $600k for going to college sounds so ridiculous that the trend shouldn't be able to continue.

Surface Pro 7. Such a lovely piece of engineering. Great lightweight laptop, although the tablet mode of Windows 10 needs some love and care from Microsoft.

I recently finished "No One Would Listen" by Harry Markopolos who was a whistleblower who spent YEARS and resigned from his other jobs trying to alert the SEC about Bernie. It was pretty outrageous how the SEC passed the buck around interoffice like a hot potato literally sending the investigation to and from the DC to NYC office and back again. It's a great read although Markopolos comes off as somewhat (deservedly) self-rightous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_One_Would_Listen

As for the "how does it happen" root cause of the fraud, in my perspective it's a bit like trickle truth. They start with one small lie - maybe keeping two sets of books, and get away with it for five years. Hey, that wasn't so bad, let's open a few shell companies for our shell companies and offshore some funds to get out of taxes. Wow, we got away from that, let's do a capital call and double it. Then they start doubling down and because it's easy money they spend it on lavish things, need more income to offset loses. Like you mentioned- turns into a vicious cycle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_One_Would_Listen
I think it's very problematic to conflate "right wing" with "racist". There's nothing inherently right or left wing about being racist, and I suspect you'd find many racists who support government healthcare and strong social safety nets.

I think the Goal would be Uber, but with a fleet of Apple Cars. I still dont see how selling and servicing Apple Cars would work for Apple if it is sold as an originally car. That large investment and sunk cost would be a good use for its Cash. ( And it would be part of their Services Revenue ) Apple also gets to trial and gather Data with their current Map Data Collection vehicle.

The problem is there is nothing, absolutely zero indication that we can crack Level 5 self driving within next 5 years. It is always easy to get the first 80%, the last 20%, the small and minor details will often take as long if not longer than the first 80%. We have just arrived at the 80% point, and there is always the illusion of we are close to Self Driving Goal. And we are not.

And apart from that there are no indication as to how Apple is competing with Batteries. Tesla as a car manufacture may be easy to replicate, ( only on a relative scale, it is actually difficult to make cars in mass quantities, especially with Apple that demands perfection. Unlike Tesla ) but Tesla Battery is at least 4 - 5 years ahead of everyone else from both technological and manufacturing. And no have seems to have shown a plausible plan of how Apple is going to tackle this.
Anime is not the dominant form of media in Japan, and is largely targeted at a relatively narrow age band. Outside of the main target demographic, you're not going to get a lot of familiarity with anything but the very largest show.

In the US, how many current animated shows can you name? I can name a decent fraction of cartoons from the late 90s, but am completely unable to name anything since then--at least until I got a nephew and am now getting acquainted with the relevant demographic shows. That's a 20 year gap in shows.

Compare other media. How many classical composers can you name? I doubt many people, even erudite people, could push well beyond the basic frontier of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. Recognition of well-known tunes (such as Pachelbel's Canon, whose name my spellchecker doesn't appear to recognize) is going to far exceed their name, let alone the composer's name.

The most recognizable anime to a layperson in Japan is likely to be the big mega-blockbusters of various eras. I'd be more shocked if you said that no one had heard of Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragonball, Naruto, or Attack on Titan [which one they'd pick up on depends on their age] than any of the shows you've mentioned. Hell, the only thing you listed that I'd think people in the US with a passing familiarity with anime might know would be Cowboy Bebop.
Same here in Eastern Europe. The whole topic and comments make me think "wait, people live like that, I thought that just happened in movies". I wouldn't have any concerns if my wife and kid walked around any streets in my city, even at 3am.
However... it can also trigger new behaviour because programs / services run for longer than normal because deployments aren't being refreshed as frequently as normal.
I recall a clear period of time when at least some of the people running Reddit seemed very proud of how they didn't take down or ban subreddits that many people thought were inappropriate, offensive, or harmful. Unfortunately, since Aaron Swartz was the only sometime-Reddit leader I knew, I can't immediately point to other people from Reddit leadership who were explicit about this (as Aaron certainly was).

I believe there was a rough Reddit equivalent to Twitter executives' famous "the free speech wing of the free speech party" statement, but I can't cite one and I may be letting my memories of Aaron's views get projected onto his colleagues.
I think you are missing my point.

This. A large fraction of outages are an unintended result of a planned change, so it's wise to freeze those on weeks when no one is around and sometimes other critical times (like during Black Friday sales for a shopping site). If you do this, holiday weeks are usually super quiet.

My worst holiday oncall shift as a SRE was when a couple SWEs on a semi-related team didn't honor any of our best practices, instead rolling out an unannounced change during the production freeze with no premortem or rollback plan. (This was 12 years ago, and clearly the larger org had failed in communicating cultural expectations to everyone.)
> My point is, that the use of combinators and point free programming formally eliminates organizational technical debt.

Hardly. It may eliminate certain kinds of technical debt. Pretty sure it won't eliminate all of it. As you said in a parallel post:

> Readability is definitely worse when using this method.

Well, that's a kind of technical debt.
Ah! That makes sense. I realise that talking about complex concepts in terms of analogy can be misleading, but is it like the fabric is elastic and long enough and is only getting stretched? Is there a way to reconcile this with the (3 dimensional) inside and outside aspect of our experiences.
The thing about modelling is that it often works on a higher abstraction level then the programming languages provide and that a bunch of (often performance related) thinks are (preferably) not represented in modelling.

This IMHO makes most tools to generate code from models just painful to use.

But I still agree that you have no business programming something which you can't somewhat model in a higher abstraction level.

> SQL is the king of managing data

Hm, not so much IMHO. SQL Is terrible bad at it in some contexts because it's inherently made for a 2d table projection which is (more or less) only joined to larger 2d table projections of data which often in it's nature is neither 2d nor maps well to 2d representations. And while you can extend SQL to support that or work around it with e.g. recursive queries it's not very nice to do at all.
Good call-out, that point is not well thought through or supported.

My mental model was demographics. As an example, Apple users are "more valuable" than Android users. Not in any absolute or moral sense of course, just in terms of average propensity to blow money on things. In a bifurcated economy not all office occupants are equal value.

When I wrote that I had a model in mind where:

Your average WeWork occupant is more likely to be young, mobile, well-paid, renting an apartment, eating out, preferring "services" over owning things, and so on.

WeWork will be interested in tracking those demographics in ways that regular office lessors aren't, meaning they can tell that story and quantify the value they bring.

It's not a strong point (and it's a little sickening) but I think the rest of the argument stands.
I think it’s helpful to always remember that as a visitor to China, they probably know everything there is to know about you, and where you are every second of the day. If you could be used for any Geo political, humanitarian, or financial leverage, you should probably consider that the country is going to arrest you and do that
Unfortunately that's not how most consumers think.

As far as phone manufacturing goes, anything that involves electronics will inevitably cause pollution in its life cycle. Even if you're creating the most eco-friendly product, no one will want to use it unless it looks pleasing too. The Pine Phone is that, Virtu is that, but the Fairphone isn't. Even then, Pine Phone and Virtu (maybe not so much) have an uphill battle.
Americans commenting negatively on Americans collectively is quite common, and I think the common sense thing to do is just assume that whenever you see it, understand that the author is only telling you about their own biases and stereotypes, and not about any empirical fact of Americans.

If you are Toyota, you've only demonstrated you could build cars profitably for the consumer market you were already in. If consumer preferences, trends, etc have changed, and no product is yet available to fulfill those new preferences, there is actually risk that what you are good at building profitably isn't what people want anymore. There is risk in that too.

I think the title is really misleading, making music will never be the preserve of the elite, it is far too widespread in society and humanity as a whole, because quite literally anyone can make “music.” What the article is actually about is the lockdown and it’s effect on music artists playing (ie being paid for) live music.
