John Deere is an abusive company which despises its customers, and these customers reward them by gleefully buying that new million dollar harvester and doffing branded caps at every occasion. It’s extremely difficult to pity the farmer in this case. They are planning soon to change all their dimensions to conform with metric farming practices and spacing, which will entail having to re-buy all new stuff again. Oops maybe I shouldn’t have said that last part out loud, it might still be a secret...

S.F. city attorney expands lawsuit against schools
Are you unmarshaling to interface{}?
Have you tried commenting out the easyjson json.Un/Marshaler implementations? By default they wrap the easyjson code and add reflection overhead.

I had the same results when testing with a project that is already using easyjson, but after commenting out easyjson's json.Un/Marshaler impls I am seeing much improved performance using goccy/go-json.
A few reasons:

After a few years (3 if you are lucky), your phone will stop getting updates. I have a Nexus 5 with the last "official" update over 4 years ago. I have a Nexus 5x that stopped getting updates 2 years ago.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705

To compare, I have a laptop from 2008 (A Thinkpad x200) that runs mainline Debian no problems, and bit the thing will die before it stops getting mainline support. I want a phone where I can like that too.

In all but a select, very few devices, Android is not fully open source, nor will it ever be.

On a Pixel 3a, if you follow the offical compiling guide, there is a HUGE (~400 MB) vendor.img file you are forced to install, and you have to integrate several other proprietary libraries to get the Pixel 3a to even boot.

On top of that, pure AOSP cripples the phone (and by that mean SMS breaks with LTE, you lose voLTE, Wi-Fi calling, etc.) A lot of Android ROMS have to scrape official images to get the binary bits (and it is nor a fun needle in a haystack excerise) to get basically phone functionality in Android.

Running Android without Play Services cripples your phone in a number of ways.
This is a horrible idea, and the article reads like the author has completely lost the notion that there is even a thing like CSS.

Please just add margin-right to the icon that is already an actual targetable node in your DOM or skip the headache altogether by making your button display:grid & setting appropriate gutter width or something.

But the proposed idea is nothing but a showcase of everything that's wrong with "styled components only" and where it might lead you.
We will see. Can you move local numpys computations on a cluster by just adding a few lines of code? Because this certainly will be possible with Elixir.

Most importantly it may allow Elixir developers to not switch to C or Rust for intensive computations (hopefully).
> If we're going with a chain lawsuit, then why skip the step where B sues A for sharing their information with Dr. Kogan?

B interacts to A through Facebook, do they not?

If Facebook wants to sue A as the next leg in the chain, they're certainly welcome to try. That's the joy about just following the edge of the graph: its Facebook's job to figure out if A is more at fault (and should be sued) or if Cambridge Analytica is more at fault.

This "chain" methodology further demonstrates which lawsuits are likely fruitless. The concept of Facebook suing A, or even Cambridge Analytica for suing A (if it goes that far) is clearly improper at face value. Breaking things up one-step at a time allows us to seek justice.

IE: the entire point of the justice system.

While I agree that this book isn't very useful for self learning, I have to defend the model you describe as adversarial. I took CS473 at UIUC (it's CS374 now) so I can tell you firsthand the course is brutal -- easily the hardest course in the CS program. You're given a LOT of resources through office hours and everyone uses them. The TAs are good at leading you down the right path instead of just showing you the answer and making you feel like you connected the dots (you probably didn't). Most of the answers are on Chegg if you want that, although I think Chegg is the worst thing ever for actual learning.

Unfortunately I don't have a good solution for the self learner here... There is no way in hell I would have gotten through that class without the TAs and workgroups. Just being able to peek at the answers would have been terrible.

This is awesome, congrats on the launch. As I work mainly on internal data platforms, is there any support for building cohorts without the need to opt in? Essentially we'll just sync with our user tables or do LDAP lookups to create panels
I’m not proposing we literally do that; I’m explaining how to fairly compare the resource consumption of Bitcoin to the resource consumption of the payment industry, factoring in opportunity costs.
Sure, there's the dialog where Socrates encounters the two brothers who teach people how to "fight with words" (Euthydemus). The dialog is really pretty funny to read, and the arguments the brothers throw around I've seen referenced as examples of eristics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eristic).
The Light Ages: Science Was Alive and Well in the Dark Ages
"There's no shortage of myths about the Middle Ages, like the oft-repeated — and easily debunked — notion that everyone back then thought the Earth was flat. Another common misconception is that scientific progress largely went dark during this era, snuffed out by the medieval church. But if you ask University of Cambridge historian Seb Falk, the reality is far brighter. Falk, who researches the history of science in the later Middle Ages, has more recently focused on how — and by whom — science was actually done in medieval times. His latest book, The Light Ages: The Surprising Story of Medieval Science, gives an insider’s look through the tumultuous life of a single 14th-century monk and astronomer, John Westwyk."
It's a 2 sentence post, the latter of which seems to be trying to dispel the idea that it's about what you're implying it is. Uninteresting to experts in the area that consider this common knowledge maybe, not a failure of the author to do something worthwhile though.
I own a PineTab (based on similar hardware - A64 and 2GB RAM). These devices are very cool, if not a little under-powered [1]. For the price point, there is no competition in this space in terms of what is offered in value and quality. I really hope Pine continue to fight the good fight!

What are the available options?
I think the concerns raised in this thread are less regarding raw throughput, and more about (1) the complexity of the typical production Kafka deployment (2) the arguably unnecessary, highly complex ecosystem around Kafka that you have to pay people or companies to use effectively, (3) the history of problems regarding data loss with ZK/Kafka, caused by leadership election bugs.
it's definitely a feature that's been around chrome (I'm remembering from both mobile and desktop) for a while. I think the way they show this message has changed over time and probably don't show it if you think you're an advance enough user, that'd be my guess. or maybe you have an extension that stops u from seeing this
I'd prefer if they tagged, stop replies, and hide responses that do not meet their standards.

Why would you believe that? Copy editors don't spend a lot of time on each headline. Publication style guides for headlines aren't particularly ideological. Copy editors aren't like reporters, who narrowly focus on a single subject - whoever wrote this headline probably writes hundreds of headlines for articles across a vast array of subjects. To me, having worked at a newspaper (not the NYT of course) and having seen the way headlines get drafted, this is a case where the burden of proof is on you to show that whoever titled this piece wanted to imbue it with an anti-private-messaging agenda, rather than rattling off something that they thought was catchy using a few buzzwords that would draw the reader in.

> These are two people working together on a single published piece.

Copy editors (who write headlines at large news orgs) don't work with reporters on the content of the piece, only the style and grammar.

man the comments on HN blaming people and defending Facebook is creepy.

I’m a relative newcomer to Haskell. I still haven’t used it for anything serious, but I’d like to.

I had experienced all of these problems. Initially, I was attracted to Haskell for the promise of “if it compiles then it’s probably correct.” I quickly discovered that isn’t true, for the reasons discussed in the article.

But I also had issues with Cabal. I couldn’t get Snap to install. I tried installing it in a container, still didn’t work. I finally figured out something that would let me build with Snap, but for some reason LSP in Emacs couldn’t find the snap libraries, so it couldn’t provide me correct feedback. And then the build times. Wow. I gave up on writing that program in Haskell and wrote it in Go instead.

I think Haskell has a lot to offer. I’d be open to trying it again. Hopefully these shortcomings improve.
last year i set up a game of scythe in my kitchen with an overhead camera -- i could hit a button on my phone to snap a pic and upload to my vps. played this way with a group of friends over the course of a few days and it worked pretty well. some things were tricky -- cards that players receive that are supposed to be "private", for instance, but most of the game worked face-up.
that's thoughtful! I'm gonna do it too. maybe you can find an appropriate feedback section somewhere too, but who knows how useful that is

It's amazing and I love the language but I also did not see any great innovations around Clojure in the last years, after ClojureScript for example.
Congrats on the launch! It’s always nice to see alternatives in this space.

I just have a couple of observations:

> Industry trusted Kafka & Druid to handle enterprise scale. No scaling pains. Ever.

From my (limited) experience, Kafka and Druid are not exactly simple pieces of infrastructure for most shops. Often requiring significant effort to scale and maintain.

Also, in the past I’ve had some pains supporting those self-hosting my open source projects, and just wanted to give some friendly suggestions:

- A quickstart guide plus a “Production tips” article would be really helpful for those self-hosting.

- A troubleshooting guide would help reduce common support requests.

- Creating a chat group or a forum can reduce the load as users might help each other out.

It’s mostly about small things that can help save you time and effort, while making it easier for people to adopt the project.

Besides that, I think a lot of the value DataDog provides is in the form of integrations with pretty much every other service out there. We use plenty of these at my day job and it’s particularly useful to connect PagerDuty/Slack to the monitoring system. Maybe these features would help you drive adoption over time, and enable more use cases too.

- CP2077 could be viewed as a one time inter-generational fluke, where a project was designed with the ambition of PS5, then half-heartedly fitted into a PS4. Once people get their next gen consoles, this use case probably goes away. Can you imagine a lot more of these CP2077-like scenarios that justify being a Stadia user?

- Stadia will be just as vulnerable to "exclusive content fragmentation" as consoles. Now that they've shuttered their internal studio, they will in fact, be constantly on the defensive in the war of exclusive content.
The ease of plutonium production was one of the main reasons they went with the RBMK design. Definitely dual purpose from the beginning.

reflecting on my comment I realize it could perhaps be construed as an attack on OP (specifically my dismissal of anyone with an opinion on the topic the past 15 years). But it wasn't meant like that. I am so deep in my habit of reading only old books and original thinkers, that I forget people don't share this passion. My habit makes me automatically dismiss content generated by anyone still alive or any book that is displayed as new release in a bookshop etc.

Secondly I guess it's always a gamble to mention JP no matter in what light on HN since it is considered flame-bait. However IMHO it's impossible to separate the political element from the discussion about post-modernity (whether it's PM in art _or_ philosophy - though oddly those who don't grasp the philosophy also don't get the art).

c'est la vie :)

Yeah I read the article about iota. It was interesting, and there's stuff there I agree with, but on the whole iota is too useful not to use (imho).
Most people who code will need an inverted triangle of knowledge in relation to the software stack. Starting with some subset of software fundamentals is great, but it's easy to lose the forest for the trees in that approach.

If I love websites and now I want to build one, spending more time on fundamentals than is necessary to impart a general scheme and more importantly the metaphors of those fundamentals would be a waste.
> If you shout your friend's email in a hotel's lobby, you wouldn't blame the hotel, right?

No but your friend would be quite in the right to blame you if they got threatening emails as a result of it. Depending on whether actual harm came from the act and whether you shouted their email with an intent to cause harm (even a different harm like a cascade of d** pics) then you could be held liable for damages.

If you act in a manner intended to cause harm and harm results - even if not in the manner you intended - then you can be held liable. Greasing a sidewalk so that folks will fall on their ass for the giggles and then causing someone to break their spine still leaves you liable for damages - even if you were unable to foresee the potential outcome of someone breaking their spine.

The hotel lobby example is likely to not result in liability due to difficulties in showing you acted maliciously but there certainly is a possibility there.

Very good point. That is exactly why I stop visiting known network sites for answers. Especially when its topics like car repair, or home repair tips etc... It always goes to a fake SEO page with no real useful information.

Syntactic differences aside, the capabilities of JavaScript and Python do not differ significantly. They are both highly popular highly dynamic object-oriented-ish languages.

Knowing that the most prevalent implementation of one is significantly faster than the most prevalent implementation of the other is useful information for someone deciding between the two for a project where performance is important.

Comparing alternative implementations of the languages, which are geared toward performance, would also be valuable. But simply knowing that, if your choice to use CPython is more-or-less arbitrary, you're leaving performance on the table, is valuable.

(Of course, as discussed in the top-level thread by
@SuchAnonMuchWow, this particular benchmark seems to be comparing apples to oranges, and thus may not be of much value.)

> I do have a contract with Facebook, so they are pretty much the only people I can sue.

Can you sue them for this, though? Your contract would need to say "if I personally turn my data over to a third party, that third party will not misuse it". And in the unlikely event that it did say that, misuse of your data by the third party still wouldn't violate the contract, because... the third party is not party to the contract.
