I guess my main question is, why does the stock price go up if mountains of people suddenly buy a stock?

It's because we base pricing based on a simple free market order book algorithm.

If the markets enforced a pricing algorithm that included certain time-based functions instead of basing it purely out of the order book, and mandate that all transactions happen at the algorithm's determined price (instead of the free market price), a lot of problems including pump-and-dump schemes and insider trading could be theoretically eliminated. We could completely legalize insider trading, for example, if we technologically mandated that large orders took weeks to execute while single shares traded in milliseconds.

(I'm an engineer, not a financial expert; I view this problem as very similar to e.g. API limits and firewalls that implement rules to prevent abuse.)
The general trend I've noticed over the years is that they've been reducing edge-cases at the cost of making normal behavior worse. The change noted in TFA is one of these: always upgrading a package's dependencies when upgrading a package greatly reduces the numbers of combinations of versions that users can possibly have and so probably reduces the number of bug reports that come down to local environment things, but it comes at the cost of effectively removing the ability to upgrade a specific tool without fucking with the rest of your system.

Similarly I'm sure that making `brew install X` implicitly perform `brew upgrade` simplifies things a lot for them, but it's been a major source of hassle for me and it's making me consider switching away from homebrew.
I really like the crowdmatching mechanism, and also in this article it is explained very comprehensively. I did not consider the 'burn out' of donors before, for instance (always thinking from the perspective of the dev team).

> Put another way, we each get to say, "I'm not willing to sacrifice all I can while everyone else freerides… but I am willing to be part of the crowd and part of the movement, if enough others help too!"

> It is also low risk: if very few patrons join a project, very little resources will be spent. Thus, we can escape the pattern where projects are kept going by relatively few dedicated donors and volunteers who struggle to carry the burden until they burn out.
this isn't being dismissive... it's valid feedback for poor UX.
Seems like JFrog is under massive pressure by GitHub, GitLab and the big cloud providers. The big companies are starting to move to those services and all the small ones are already there. No one needs an on-prem artifact repo for this setup.

There are also rumors that JFrog will change the licensing of their products in the next months.

The notice is really short for such a takedown - cornered animals sometime make bald moves.

When we industrialized food production we all started eating too much and too shitty and now practically all of us have overweight and unhealthy bodies. Feeds, push notifications, aggregators, to-do apps, notes apps, etc are all artifacts of the exact same process happening to our minds. It is so incredibly easy, so trivially easy, to spend 15 minutes on the internet and locate an effectively infinite amount of high-quality shit to read or watch or listen to. There's really too much for us to handle, so we build tools and services to help us manage all that information streaming towards us. But what we've forgotten is that we don't need to manage all the information out in the world, all we need to manage is however much we can ingest and digest. The bottleneck in our informational lives is absolutely not inventory management, it's the bandwidth between our ears, which is the same is it's always been.
I will almost resist the urge to truncate the title to "Python is Not for You" -- but I'd like to second the benefits of using a python version manager such as pyenv. Yes, all the versions waste an ungodly amount of space, but you probably can't/won't use Clojure instead I guess.
Rendering (forward or backward) of algebraic curves (like bezier and nurbs) never gets mentioned in any such collections, despite being essential to any 2D or GUI framework. And if they are, then only as a short: Just subdivide / tessellate it and then put it through the polygon pipeline! However there are far better ways to handle them, which even people in CG seem to be oblivious of.

And of course not to forget all the other approaches to modeling geometry like implicit surfaces, meta-balls, signed distance fields, constructive solid geometry, point clouds, splats, voxels, etc ...
I think voting is a helpful first pass filter to cut down on the noise, but it needs to be capped or it becomes a game. I think Slashdot made the right call by capping the votes to +5/-2 and being somewhat stingy with their voting points. They also don't allow you to post and vote on the same article.

The internal structure of a country is not a good predictor of its foreign policy. How countries act foreign policy wise is very simple - they will attempt to achieve the most advantageous positions for themselves, without regard for you (unless you can help them, of course).

Arrow does actually use flatbuffers for metadata storage.
How well does macports and home brew play together on the same system these days?

I used to use ports back in the days and appreciated it coming from FreeBSD previously but at some point most things I wanted were simply only available in brew, at that time brew and ports didn’t play well together on the same system so sometime around SL/Lion I switched to brew completely.
There's actually a lot of overlap between Hadoop and Arrow's origins - a lot of the projects that integrated early and the founding contributors had been in the larger Hadoop ecosystem. It's a very good sign IMO that you can hardly tell anymore - very diverse community and wide adoption!

>What I'm saying is that nobody has delivered on any of the huge claims about the genome which genomicists made for the last 20 years, specifically in terms of actionable human health.

I mean. Sure, sequencing the human genome didn't solve our problem overnight, and you can't sequence a genome at a vending machine for a nickel to tell your future, but I think there has been an avalanche of medical data derived from the genome and that is only continue to get bigger.

Now that we are really starting to figure out the polygenic risks and the single deleterious variants and their links with phenotype, people will have a much better picture of what their future might hold (and how to prevent it).

I don't think it was ever a bluff. The problem just turned out harder than we thought it was going to be.

Is not a bad hypothesis but is not the only one.

Those symptoms are familiar to any fish pathologist. There is a common freshwater fish disease that typically causes whirling behavior and massive mortality in trout and salmo larvae. Exactly the same behavior as claimed. Thus Nature peer reviewers may want to consider my alternative explanation: What if Thiamine was irrelevant here?

If you put fish larvae in a concentrate of X, you are directly modifying (increasing) the osmotic pressure. Thus parasites are killed (by osmotic shock causing cell bursting). Decreasing the parasite load to acceptable levels means that fingerlings now have a choice to build a inmmune response, deal with the disease and recove. Thiamine could be directly related with developping inmunity, of course but an alternative possibility is that this is an artifact and the real effect was caused by increasing the osmotic pressure.

Your move.

It sincerely pains me to write this, but I tend to agree with the general conclusion of this comment. Of course, Germans, French, Canadians....etc are NOT immune to incompetence or unethical conduct either (see Enron, VW, Total...etc).

> most of the compute time spent is in serializing and deserializing data.

This is to be viewed in light how hardware evolves now. CPU compute power is no longer growing as much (at least for individual cores).

But one thing that's still doubling on a regular basis is memory capacity of all kinds (RAM, SSD, etc) and bandwidth of all kinds (PCIe lanes, networking, etc). This divide is getting large and will only continue to increase.

Which brings me to my main point:

You can't be serializing/deserializing data on the CPU. What you want is to have the CPU coordinate the SSD to copy chunks directly -and as is- to the NIC/app/etc.

Short of having your RAM doing compute work*, you would be leaving performance on the table.

Yeah I find this method way easier to understand than scan conversion. Fabian Giesen has a great series of articles from 2011 that explains it well[0].

> I’ve never had that issue, and used to heavily use recursive make. I carefully benchmarked those make files, and am sure this wasn’t an issue.

So, you’ve never had two different targets that depend on something in a subdirectory? If you’ve just solved this by building subdirectories in a specific order, or building entire subdirectories rather than the specific targets you need, what you’re really doing is making an incorrect dependency graph in order to work around make’s limitations. These kind of decisions make sense for full builds, but interfere with incremental builds.

Bazel & family (Buck, Pants, Please, etc.) are among the few build systems that solve this problem well. It’s not an accident that they all use package:target syntax for specifying targets, rather than just using a path, because this allows the build system to determine exactly which file contains the relevant build rule without having to probe the filesystem.

I would love to simply recommend Bazel but the fact is there is a bit of a barrier to entry depending on how standard / nonstandard your build rules are and depending on how you think that third-party dependencies should be pulled in. Depending on your project, you could convert to Bazel in an hour just by looking at a couple examples, or you could have to dive deep into Bazel to figure out how to do something (custom toolchains, custom rules, etc.)

As you observed, the alternatives to make are often inferior, and it’s often because they’re solving the wrong problems. For example, sticking a more complex & sophisticated scripting system in front of make.
I might be wrong but my impression is that feedly exists precisely because google closed its google reader service and offered to export your subscriptions to feedly. It would be majorly funny if they bought it "back".

I was using MacPorts when Homebrew came out. I was amazed how quickly Homebrew spread, given that it did everything worse.

I honestly put its popularity down to it being written in Ruby, which made it the default choice for the large population of Ruby programmers on the Mac.
So if understood correctly, sentry entire source code is open source and can be used to monitor my backend/saas etc.

I've been using it since 2017 for an Elixir/Phoenix backend, React frontend and PostgreSQL database. It works very well and spares me from having to use three language managers (one for Elixir, one for Erlang and one for JS) plus a docker container for PostgreSQL. I was pleasantly surprised that it manages the database too.
I appreciate the explanation, but it's not for me. I'm trying to find a good book to recommend to my grandkids. I've had fun teaching them how to use old retro computers (c64, Apple II, and such). It's been a fun experience, but I'd like to give them some references that aren't me! I've personally come a long way in my computing skills since I was staring at shiny new Pong screens :)
As many others here I've been a rss users since the Google reader days, but I use it on my android mobile phone only.

I use inoreader and News+ [1] because it allows to automatically sync each hour and notifies me of new content to check (and it shows the list of posts with the title, the first few sentences of the content and a picture if any, which allows to quickly check if I want to read it or not).

I'm happy with it, but it was the first option I tried, and I feel like I'm missing others. Does anyone know of another good alternative? It should have this 'sync each hour and notify if changes' feature, preferably dark/black mode and the title + cut description list.

You have a few parties now that collect this info and sell it. They are pretty successful. But as a buyer, you pay around $50, and the amount of info highly depends on the car and the party collecting it.

Right now, selling a car with an official maintenance book is always a benefit.

The real benefit is of course on the buyer side, who wants to verify what he is buying. So a car with an "official" log would be more valuable than without.
When this is the case, it of course is better for the seller to have such a log.

I've been in this space for a short while, and I can definitely see it working.

Can someone dig into the pros and cons of the columnar aspect of Arrow? To some degree there are many other data transfer formats but this one seems to promote its columnar orientation.

Things like eg. protobuffers support hierarchical data which seems like a superset of columns. Is there a benefit to a column based format? Is it an enforced simplification to ensure greater compatibility or is there some other reason?
Netflix is definitely the better analogy.

Topic: "Was Twitter Right To Have Booted Trump?"

On the one hand, I am glad that the company de-platformed President Trump, because there was an active threat to the US government that he was abetting in real time.

Okay, that's false. One of the many reasons why that is false is because Trump was in fact telling people to go home from the protest. Let's take a look at the counter-point.

...by all accounts a dangerous leader who goaded his white supremacist followers into violent actions

Umm, that's even more false. For even more obvious reasons.

So, what is the point of your new left-wing echo chamber again? There are plenty already--you do realize that, yes?
Recommend poetry over pipenv
It is a solved problem for other languages. Pip has soooo many issues.

The biggest IMO is pip doesn't provide a way to pin indirect dependencies, so there is no good way to ensure that other people working on a project are also using the same dependency versions. You can do it with extra tooling of course - and that's what poetry and pipenv do.

That resentment is harmful. It's built on prejudice that the one earning more money is looking down to person with lower income, and it's not always true.

Also, I still do not agree on earning sevenfold with 1/7 amount of effort (a 49 fold difference). Neither being a sysadmin or a developer is that easy when a single click of your mouse can affect research of 500 people who have deadlines.

It's not "just a walk in the park" when you're working with a lot of projects with deadlines, entering meetings and try to finish everything on time and not being able to see straight due headaches induced by overloading yourself and sleeping 3-4 hours continuously.

No job is easy, they're different. All of them worthy of respect. Also it's always greener on the other side.

Maybe they would hesitate to use it because it's embarrassingly bad. I've been living in Germany for 5 years, and for the most part I love it, but the telecom situation is shocking. Speeds are slow, most people are still on DSL, and hardly a day goes by where I don't have at least a few minutes of random network blackouts, which is really great for working during a pandemic. A few weeks ago my home internet was down for 72 hours. Sometimes it feels like like when I have traveled in the developing world and the power just goes out sometimes and nobody makes a big deal about it because they're used to it.

This is nonsense. Evidence collected over the last 40 years have detailed how memory is encoded by synaptic weights, but the premise...

"there’s no obvious way for all that sensory data to be captured in synapses as long term memories"

...just ignores these findings. The model described in the article on the other hand, has never been observed. At the least, if you are going to propose an mRNA hypothesis don't use "T" as one of your RNA bases.
As someone with quite a few AHK hotstrings, and who does almost all of their day-to-day in Windows, what's the selling point for this software vs AHK? Looks like a great and useful piece of software, but is there a reason to prefer this in cases where AHK is viable?
It is pointed out that the threadripper does worse per core when under full load than even high core count consumer CPUs like the 3950x/5950x. That's the tradeoff you make for huge core count CPUs. 4x 3950x might do better, but then you need to build 3 other PCs, and for actual processing tasks, co-ordinate stuff to run across multiple systems.
We had many issues with pipenv and migrated all our projects to Poetry, which I would recommend over pipenv for solving this problem.
Perhaps people working for these publishers forget about it, maybe there are bugs or small maintenance issues, and they opt to remove support rather than fix it or monitor it for issues.
Carson Block Suspects Hedge Fund Coordination in Short Squeezes
>We can derive that around 2% of network entities control 71.5% of all Bitcoin.

This strikes me as misleading. If you exclude miners and exchanges from the "entities" side, you should also exclude them from the supply side. Just eyeballing it from the chart, it looks like around ~3% of all entities control around ~95% of all non-exchange-non-miner supply, which is very close to the number they set out to refute.

Indeed. It's an unfortunate general omission in the ecosystem. It's one of the things that our product does (in its appropriation from different inspirations like MC, PBT, SBFL, etc., but we move things up to assessing systems rather than programs) where contradictions and counter-examples are curated specifically for making it easier to reuse them. They're provided back to the user as executable "properties" in our DSL to apply to past, present, future data.
