Amazon doesn't co-mingle their inventory with 3Ps, they do co-mingle 3Ps that don't opt to avoid it. This is one of the reasons I look for the "sold and shipped by Amazon" for important purchases.

Unfortunately, I've never seen information about how Walmart handles this. Given their massive shift to 3Ps providing most of their products online...I'd imagine they use a similar strategy (it improves same/next day availability and lowers cost). I follow the same strategy with Walmart (try to only buy directly).

It is a sad time for online purchasing :(
Because Bash already has an expression parser/evaluator that it uses for this case, so now there isn't just one thing doing it, there are two, and you have to know when they are used and when they aren't.

Honestly the idea that a certain benign-looking syntax could (but maybe not!) spawn some external subprocess is terrifying to me, and I don't find it delightful at all.
However, I wonder if all this work could contribute to a "modern" terminal floss office suite.

Lotus is not is not open source. You would need to get IBM to release it as open source, which of course means they would have to have the code stored somewhere. While we're at it we can get microsoft to release the dos versions of works and visual basic, and whoever owns wordperfect to release that.
Now that people are understanding that horses are better, can I turn your attention to concrete?

The manufacture of cement produces about 0.9 pounds of CO2 for every pound of cement. Since cement is only a fraction of the constituents in concrete, manufacturing a cubic yard of concrete (about 3900 lbs) is responsible for emitting about 400 lbs of CO2.

We should stop making things out of concrete, it's destroying our climate, Mud huts are more than enough to protect us from the elements. We have so much land in the US, why can't we all spread out instead of building high rises??

Edit: who's downvoting this? look at the replies below, people know this is a real problem.
5 Painfully Relatable Programming Memes on the Internet (March 2021)
Amazon reached its first reported profit like 10 years after founding. It's hard risk all the way through with funding needed to pay wages and other fixed expenses. Pretty amazing that people stick to it as long as it takes to become profitable. I'm not so sure my nerves could take all the suspense.

I would like to know you - I have a lot of experience in Cannabis (building tracking, Type 7 extraction labs, my neighbor and good friend is the DA for the BCC in CA etc...)

While sqldf has been around for a while, it's not been a performant choice, since it requires transforming and moving data into a database, albeit one that's in process. So with something like

df <- data.frame(a=rnorm(5e8), b=runif(5e8))
sqldf::sqldf("select count(*) from df where a > 3")

works, but takes 200 seconds and doubles the memory footprint of the process whereas

nrow(df[df$a > 3, ])
sum(df$a > 3)

take ~1.5 seconds and ~1s respectively on my machine.

I appear to have been too pessimistic about duckdf/duckdb though. It's docs[1] claim that registering an R data.frame as a table

> does not actually transfer data into DuckDB yet.

Which implied to me that it just deferred transfer until the user runs a query. However, in a basic test just now:

con = dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb(), ":memory:")
duckdb::duckdb_register(con, "iris_view", iris)
duckdb::duckdb_register(con, "df_view", df)
dbGetQuery(con, "select count(*) from df_view where a > 0")

it appears to execute the query directly against the data frame. At least, it runs in ~2.2s, and doesn't allocate more memory. Cool! As you've noted though, it's very new - looks like they released 0.1.0 last May?

I think the point stands: until very recently, SQL-on-dataframes was not a viable choice for anyone working at even moderate scales in R or Python, so preference has been for APIs exposed by libraries (pandas, data.table, dplyr, ...) that offered users reasonable performance, even if SQL would have been be a more ergonomic interface.

Noise Suppression for Online Meetings
Hi, I have created a free Mac plugin for noise suppression in online meetings (works in Zoom, Discord, Google Meet, Teams): https://utterly.app.

Please, check it out and give me some feedback. I use it a lot myself and find pretty helpful in cutting all noises that I have in my apartment when I have Zoom calls.

The coolest thing is that it uses AI that does inference locally on your device, so you don't have to worry about privacy (your data never gets uploaded anywhere and always stays on your device).

It’s not like that at all.

It’s like reporting “chemist solves problem in particle physics” — which is interesting and a bit unexpected, but not at all an unrelated factoid about the person in the way marital status would be.
There are also retailers which actually vet brands. For example anything edible that Target or Walmart or Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods (Amazon ownership notwithstanding) sells in their stores, they actually contract a testing company to test it to make sure that it’s safe. For things where safety is important an actual physical national store is going to be much better than Amazon.
You wouldn’t believe in the amount of solid applications using jQuery out there. It’s still widely adopted, specially when you are maintaining legacy applications.
While I personally don’t use it in my day job anymore (Mostly React nowadays), I still know a good number of people that use jQuery in my local community.
Worth noting: Legacy doesn’t mean bad. Just software that sustained the tough test of time.

Why do you think young people today are willing to take these extreme risks? Casinos and speculative instruments existed decades ago.

I think it's because of the massive economic inequality that people experience today. Working an unskilled, or even a skilled job doesn't go as far today as it has in the past. Many people have internalized that they will never be as "successful" or as rich as their elders. Given that situation, it's easy to see why these risky asymmetrical bets are attractive. A failed investment pushes you deeper into poverty, but doesn't fundamentally change your situation. A successful one has the potential to change your life and break the cycle of poverty for you.

For someone who's about to declare bankruptcy, a lottery ticket is an excellent deal. For the lower class of America, so are these investments.
Ok then my information is outdated. It’s been a while.
jQuery is like WordPress. There may be other more streamlined, purpose-built solutions out there, and they all have their uses, but sometimes ease of setup is the thing you're optimizing for, sexiness be damned.

When you have a vast, mature ecosystem and a decade and a half of community knowledge to draw upon, even the most obscure use cases tend to have a precedent somewhere. Being able to jump right to a StackOverflow answer to exactly what you're trying to do is, in my opinion, a highly underrated feature of legacy web technology.

Ada syntax is closely related to Pascal and Algol. If you like these languages, then you will enjoy Ada. Unfortunately many people prefer the tenseness of C++.

I'm trying to wean off of jQuery to reduce dependencies, but it makes me appreciate jQuery all the more. The native JS API is quite a bit more verbose and cumbersome to use, and my absolute biggest gripe with it is that it doesn't even build on modern JS features. It's not compatible with for...of, map, filter, find, etc, which seems really strange for a relatively recent vanilla JS API.

Ironically, http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ makes a pretty good case in favour of jQuery.

Thankfully JSC is also really REALLY fast, but interacting with websites is slow.
One of the most useful tricks I've learned and now apply to every non-throwaway shell script is the use of "||" for guard clauses to catch failing operations, along with the use of a block statement for running multiple operations "{ }".

Like so:

# Download the binary
wget --quiet --output-document /usr/local/bin/mybinary "$download_url" || {
error 'Failed downloading the CLI'
exit 1
}

debug "Making CLI executable"
# Make it executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mybinary || {
error 'Failed making CLI executable'
exit 1
}

This has been completely transformative for me and has made writing maintainable + debuggable scripts so much easier.

No that is not science.

Science is a process of falsification. You have a hypothesis and you attempt to falsify the hypothesis.

What you're describing is a model that has stood the test of falsification. Someone comes up with a mathematical model that can predict the future. They test that model under science to see if they can falsify the model.

If they fail to falsify the model then at best they say this model might as well be true because we couldn't determine otherwise.

That is science.

When you use the model to predict how something will happen in the real world for some real world application. That is more called "engineering."

Engineering is application, science is best attempt verification.
It's not obsolete if it's running the apps that you need.

I've done embedded work on MCUs with less horsepower than you probably have in your headphones.

Sure it's not going to run windows 10, but it'll reliably control that device until the mechanical parts wear down. Same applies here, where the advantage of huge transistors means much greater resistance to cosmic rays, and a 20 year old design means all the bugs and quirks are well understood.

The latest and greatest is nice, but not always the right choice for the problem at hand when you have the option of custom firmware and you aren't connected to a hostile internet.

Thank you for teaching me something new :) I didn't know about micro-packets before.

In that case, I'm guessing the latency is coming from the fact that most LCD screens are caching one full image so that they can re-scale it in case the incoming video resolution isn't identical with the display's native resolution.

I vaguely remember there being an experimental NVIDIA feature to force scaling onto the GPU in hopes of reducing lag, but not sure that ever got released.

Don't know if this is the reason OP hates it, but for me SEMRush and similar companies are the reason the web is littered with blogspam for pretty much every topic.

Content Marketing companies and Content Farms use SEMRush to figure out which topics are covered by competition of their clients and which topics would attract visitors, and then pay pennies to a non-expert freelancer to produce a very shallow text with content probably copied from the same competitor, and littered with keywords recommended by SEMRush. Then, this text rises to the top of Google while non-SEO optimized quality content lingers in obscurity.

How Google doesn't go after those shady practices is beyond me. They're probably just afraid of killing a whole industry and having an antitrust target on their backs.
Quite an amazing feat fitting all the ridiculous things Bitcoiners say about energy usage into such a short post.

1. The gold mining industry has nothing to do with bitcoin.

2. The gold mining industry has nothing to do with money.

3. The gold mining industry does not use anywhere near 0.1% of the entire energy production of the planet.

4. Just throwing the army in there for some reason, huh.

5. The lightning network does not "process an unlimited number of transactions".

6. The Lightning network does not scale.

7. Nobody knows how to make the Lightning network scale.

8. If the Lightning network worked, which it doesn't, it doesn't need to run on top of Bitcoin, so Bitcoin still does not need to burn 0.1% of the world's energy.
In the original biblical usage a Babylonian king held a feast and suddenly a disembodied hand wrote: MENE, MENE, TECKEL, PARSIN on the wall, which translated to:

"Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end."

"Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting."

"Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

So you're right, it doesn't connote that something will endure, but that something will end.
> you're benefitting at the direct expense of less affluent people who want to move into bigger apartments

Aren't you forgetting about the even less affluent people who wouldn't be able to afford a bigger apartment even at the same price per area as their current apartment and who'd be priced out of the market (a.k.a. forced to move out) by rising rents?

> and who want to move into your city from outside of it

I think not being able to move to your city of choice is less bad than being forced to leave it. The only way someone can move to Berlin without pushing others out is if the supply increases, which the rising prices for new apartments certainly incentivize. So the policy endures that the additional construction required to accommodate newcomers is paid for by them, rather than by all citizens.
Allowed for us to understand where we were doing well in terms of page rankings, where we were not, what keywords we needed to begin targeting to get the most traffic volume, and recommendations on what that content should consist of.

We were also able to gain insights into competitors, what keywords they were targeting, where there were opportunities to hit keywords they were not, etc. It also gives estimates as to how much they are spending on advertising, which can be useful.

While I’m sure other factors have contributed, our sales of IT services has tripled and verticals we were receiving no leads in are getting a significant amount. All organically.

I will also say we were able to reduce our advertising spend from $1,500 to $0.00 per month.

I can’t recommend using SEMRush highly enough, especially for small businesses.

>Do people still use jQuery?

Oh yes. Everyday. Still love it.

>…Javascript document api via document.querySelector, and document.querySelectorAll

The jQuery API is still (and probably aways will be) far superior to the native DOM (terser, composable, more expressive, etc).

>…smaller footprint libraries like lodash

jQuery is ≈30k gziped and most likely already cached from CDN.

>…has fallen out of favor of more comprehensible state management inside of JS (like React Hooks, Redux...etc.)

Managing state is hard. There shouldn't be much of it in any single view. IMO, React doesn't bring much to the table in this regard while adding a lot of complexity and heft. Vue is a bit better, but still, I'd much rather use jQuery if given the choice.

If you're building something like Spotify/Slack, I can maybe see the need for virtual DOMs, etc. If you're sprinkling interactivity to your webpage, which is arguably what most of the web should be, jQuery is probably as good as it will ever get.
I keep some old computers running as a hobby, and you'd be surprised at how well they still run if you stick Linux on them.

> The major compilers already have ways to test for undefined behavior such as -fsanitize=undefined. Projects need to use these flags and test more.

This is NOT a solution -- you cannot test every case. In fact, not even close: The possible state space to for signed addition of two 64-bit ints is 2^128. That is infeasible. A compiler for a 'safe' language CAN prove the absence of certain behaviors (UB being one of them).
