Both on the left and the right of US politics there has been fault found with China. I'm kinda surprised that no large brands have highlighted "No Chinese-made components" on their products. We embrace "blood-free" diamonds, why not Chinese-free merchandise for similar reasons?
AFAIK Modin tries to be the API compatible with Pandas, but then faster/distributed.
Vaex tries to be a DataFrame library that is as fast as possible on a single machine to keep things simple and fast (although distributed is on the horizon, we don't need it currently). We're not afraid to break compatibility with pandas, because we care about performance.
Both libraries try to hide the laziness from the user.

Ask HN: How are virtual desktops useful to you?
Since I switched to Linux from Windows many years ago, I always wondered how can I take fully advantage of the virtual desktop feature.

Theoretically, it's easy to see how useful the VD can be, but for me, I never found an enticing use case to make a daily usage of it.

Am I missing something?

I believe blockchain tech has the potential to change the world. With that said, I do have some burning questions:

1. Can there be consensus mechanisms that are environmentally sustainable? Does PoS work well? We have so many "new" blockchains with "new" consensus mechanisms but not enough information on the tradeoffs among them.

2. Do we actually need blockchain for anything other than finance? Can't we use p2p for things like governance? Can't we achieve a similar level of trust using traditional p2p tech?
1.) Market crash, where inflated valuations come back to earth and wipe out people who bought at the top. (See eg. Webvan)

2.) Long-term economic growth, where valuations stagnate for a while and earnings eventually catch up, and then we get another burst of more sustainable growth. (See eg. AMZN)

3.) Replacement, where the inflated asset completely replaces an industry or set of industries, takes all the cash flows of those companies, and keeps on rising quickly because of that. (See eg. GOOG or FB).

4.) (Hyper)inflation, where the value of the dollar falls rapidly, the asset's cash flows increase in nominal terms (because its real value remains constant), and then the cash flows eventually justify the asset's price and the asset starts rising again as those cash flows keep increasing. (See eg. Venezuela's stock market.)

5.) War or political unrest, where the system that these assets are embedded in collapses entirely and it's open season on whatever's useful in the wreckage (See eg. fall of the Soviet Union, WW2).

For the assets you list: I'd bet on #3 for BTC and TSLA and #1 for GME, with a non-negligible chance of #4-5.
The JS & frontend world is _seriously fun_ right now. If you blew it all off as a quagmire of complexity, sketchy engineering, treadmill of tools, etc... it's time to re-evaluate everything. I have more fun and feel more productive working on modern frontend stuff with tools like esbuild than any other GUI programming I've done in 30 years.

Most hobbies cost money? Most sports clubs charge money and its not because they want motivated people to stay away .

There are people out there who don't have the money for a PC, this group is far larger than any group that can't pay a hundred for the exact text of the standard. Clearly your anger should be directed at Microsoft, IBM, Apple, Google and GNU for not delivering the Freedom (TM) development environment everyone is owed.

How do we know this is true? How many more 8-year-olds would program if they had been given a chance? My guess is that most are never given a chance to try.

I learned Applesoft BASIC on an Apple IIGS when I was 8. But I was lucky to be in a home with a computer that came with a disk that had an intro to programming on it. I think that's more relevant than any innate skill I had.
This is a well known occurrence on Fortnite. If you were online wearing a "default" you were mocked by your friends and sometimes targeted for griefing. And not just online, because kids are using the game as a virtual hangout space, this bullying would play out IRL too.

You just brush aside the opposing viewpoints without speaking to them or acknowledging that they have merit. You also don't think it's possible that you don't actually understand what is happening with bitcoin and you got lucky? You don't know what the end state is, no one does. Winning money at roulette doesn't make you a profit that saw into the future.

My fault. Resummarizing, you shouldn't take your kids finding "Pizza Tycoon" competitive or even preferable to Roblox (with or without Robux power assists) as applicable to the general population.
>I would expect better from them than from McDonald's.

You must have entirely missed my point because my point has nothing to do with /your/ expectations of /x/ company.

My point is that you should not berate and threaten the customer service representative for issues they both didn't cause and do not have the authority to fix. They are simply doing their job which is: See ticket, attempt to resolve, escalate if they can't.

Did you think this particular representative was the person who coded the entire notification system and is the sole person deciding whether or not your proposed solution is implemented? If not, why are you threatening (sorry, "joking")them as if they were?

You can be angry with GitHub without taking it out on the person who is simply trying to do their job as a front-line customer service representative. If I had to guess, you must not have ever had to work in a low-level customer-facing position.
How is it possible that girls perform better academically (in 2015) yet are under represented in the top tier of jobs? Either women have no interest in money, academic skills have no bearing in getting high paying jobs, or discrimination is more prevalent then you’d think. I suppose all three could be true.
Because it’s been ten plus years of hype, and nothing to show for it.

Because it’s an obvious get-rich-quick scheme that will leave the poor as bag-holders, again.

While I think on one hand you're right, on the other hand I don't think it's really an error, because to end users the company is a monolithic entity, and the complex circumstances that led to something breaking for a particular user aren't important because at the end of the day their thing is broken.

"Theme Park Tycoon" is a Rollercoaster Tycoon clone that's really nice. It's pretty much single-player, but you can check out other players' theme parks which is very cool.

"Islands" is mostly a Minecraft ripoff but you're building air castles (you can fall off an "island" and die). This lets the kids do all kinds of invented in-game games, such as building an obstacle course for one another, playing hide and seek etc.

"Fishing Simulator" starts out as a pretty dull pirate-themed fishing game but turns out to have a lot of depth, adventure game style. It also has amazing content for Roblox standards.

"Build A Boat For Treasure" is a lot less fancy than the above, but it has a very cool concept. You design & build your own boat, then go sit in it, and take it through a river full of obstacles. The way you build it determines how it deals with the obstacles because when you sail away you can hardly navigate it anymore. So you need to design for robustness etc, which turns out to be pretty hard.

A lot of the games are shit, but also a lot of the games look shit but have super original ideas. Eg there's a game that you're in a building and then some disaster happens (tsunami, volcano eruption, whatever) which slowly destroys the building and whoever survives the longest in the collapsing building wins. I'm really not sure if that's a ripoff of anything, it strikes me as genuinely original. It's not very deep, but it's good fun.

I agree that there's quite a bit of hate, but as an early cryptocurrency enthusiast, I've been turned around. I really hate how it's become a useless space full of speculation, all everyone seems to talk about is how to pump prices.

I can't remember the last time I saw a story about a new payments processor, or an actually useful thing. It's all "price price price" these days.
There is also plenty of room to replace those three icons with "Snooze" and "Stop Alarm" buttons. Plenty of room even for multiple snooze buttons of varying duration. There is a downside to the button approach, though. I have one app that uses buttons to snooze or stop the alarm and I almost always touch some random one when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket. That's why I like some apps that use buttons that have to be held down for a second or two to register for certain actions.

Phone interfaces are a minefield for me for some reason. It's too easy to accidentally push a button you didn't realize was a button when you were trying to scroll down the screen but pressed it too hard when you did so. I run into lots of pitfalls like this. I grew up in the era where the OS interface was a "READY" prompt, so I've seen most of the paradigms out there over the years. Nothing has annoyed me as much in recent memory as having a touch-sensitive interface on a slick, compact phone with rounded edges that I desperately don't want to drop.
Yes you can. But those are the minority. People who are ideologically opposed typically don't invest in bitcoin - and over time become salty as they realize what they missed out on.
If corporations are indeed so positive why do they have to force people into paying them dividend profits? (Aka Fortune 500)

I'm sure many other organizations would love the power to force people into their subscriptions. And I'm sure their high ranking officials would come up with incredibly good reasons as to why they are absolutely essential to social justice or whatever.
Can't stand Ross in downtown SF for this reason. You get placed in the same queue as the high-hagglers who have nineteen dozen coupons and constantly argue with the checkout agents. They then clog up all available slots.

At least at Safeway I can spot the kind of person who looks like they value their time and it'll usually go faster.

I'll literally never shop at Ross again because it takes forever to exit their damned queue.

The model works better at Trader Joe's in SF where it's mostly people who value their time. You can then be confident all the counters won't be used by slow people.
I fantasize of forced HDCP resulting in anti-trust action over what they forced upon thr market. The needless wasteful complexity of not being able to use a splitter and encrypting and decrypting both ends is clear consumer harm. Sadly that is unlikely to see a push.
Maybe but isn't it just as likely that people choose behavior they morally agree with? I have no strong feelings on Bitcoin right now, but I'd examine both arguments and choose to buy or not based on which side seemed stronger. If I chose to buy people could say I changed my beliefs to match my behavior, but really I chose my behavior to match my beliefs. Same if I chose not to buy.
Downsampling Time Series for Visual Representation [pdf] (2013)
This is a pretty lazy explanation of a problem, leaning on somewhat disparaging stereotypes like "nerds just want to nerd out" without even giving specific examples or looking at deeper reasons this might be happening.

For starters, what context have you even experienced this in? From your description it sounds like both you and the programmer (or designer, as the case may be) are just doing this as a side project. Of course there's not going to be the incentive to follow-up and do the hard work of finding actual product-market fit if it was supposed to just be a fun learning experience from the beginning. Did you ever communicate with them what your expectations are, what the end goal is, how much of a time commitment you expect, and was the other person on the same page and equally invested in it? Also, why are you expecting the programmer to both figure out the nuances of the product and implement it? What is even your role in this, what do you bring to the table?

It sounds to me like you did not communicate well or did not set expectations properly about this project, and now you're blaming the other person for doing a bad/lazy job.
Hopefully, they'll release the cores as OpenMIPS like OpenSPARC did.
I'm actually very happy that esbuild doesnt have HMR by default. Despite the fact that most frontend devs loving/hyping HMR, I prefer live-reloads more because it refetches data/makes network calls and run my route hooks without any additional step. This is particularly important when you run your application tests in the browser(thats better than running app tests in CI btw) and change these test files constantly. The fact that most frontend devs favor HMR over live-reload signals something that I really dislike.
How can I filter out products made in China on Amazon?
Hi everyone,

My name is Guang and I am the founder of iSpent19.

After 1 year in the making, iSpent19 is now officially in Open Beta. The app is free & available in the UK only.

iSpent19 is an Open Banking enabled mobile App that allows users to view all their bank & credit card transactions in one secure place, where they can be personalised in simple and interactive ways by tagging, taking notes, attaching images & docs, and setting reminders. iSpent19 is designed to help people make more informed financial decisions and avoid mental stress and potential financial fraud.

What is available in this test version?

• A consolidated view of all your current accounts with major UK banks and some of their credit card accounts;
• A consolidated view of your regular payments such as standing order or direct debit across all supported banks;
• Tagging, this is the most versatile feature that has helped ourselves to keep tabs on expenses. Try to see how you may use it to your personal circumstances. Here, you can track your shopping journey by tagging what is delivered, what is returned for exchange or refund and much more;
• Full search and filter functionalities that will help you find what you are looking for fast;
• Taking notes about any transaction after conversations with banks or merchants;
• Attaching images and documents to any transaction. For example, you may take a picture of the receipt or a screenshot of the payment and attach it to the transaction made;
• Reminder setting, which will alarm you to take scheduled action about a particular transaction. For example you may want to compare the market before your next car insurance is due to avoid their automatic renewal with a higher price.

Any feedback/comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I thought Bitcoin was going to be a bubble that would eventually burst, but it's still growing. At this point I don't see it stopping despite still being a speculative investment for most people.

If anything I believe NFTs actually have more staying potential. People love to show off their wealth by having something unique. NFTs allow this in a digital space. They also can act as a speculative investment like Bitcoin. And because they're non-fungible I actually think that there's less potential of a bubble. With Bitcoin, if one Bitcoin is devalued, they're all devalued. With an NFT, if one token is devalued, only related tokens should lose value (by related here I mean tokens that do represent the same thing like the 50 copies of a sports video discussed in this blog post).
This is the general law enforcement mindset, a classist superiority complex that overcomes even one's own racial identity.
The type of programming you need to get your phone to dynamically manage a mesh of access points makes the brain melt. At what level do you want control? After the network connection manager already does its thing or do you want to govern that too?

In my experience when people refer to ISO-8601, they generally mean RFC 3339 instead anyway.

The original ISO has some very niche stuff in it people have no interest in supporting. Whereas 3339 is pretty much just the bread and butter of the format.
No, DKIM doesn't break forwarding. If you just forward the message, the original DKIM signature remains correct.

The original DKIM signature breaks if you edit the message body or its existing header fields.
The list of countries without "universal government-funded health system" is smaller than the list of countries with it. US (together with Uganda, Yemen, Jordan and some other countries) is pretty lonely with its healthcare system.

In general, the West does not work like the US when it comes to healthcare. And when you compare globally, the US still has the highest "Health Expenditure per capita", far higher than any other country really.

There is no way to spin it, healthcare is absolutely terrible in the US and gets worse every year.

It is called bit-coin, not bit-gold. The designers of bitcoin intended it to be used for commerce.
I would argue that Jewish people are overrepresented in higher education than other groups and generally occupy a higher class level than more recent immigrants or groups under systemic oppression by the legal system in recent decades. Most Jewish families at this point have been in this country for several generations now building roots for their families, just like the Italians and Irish at this point who also came to NYC ~a century ago. They haven't been the whipping boy at the bottom of the economic totem in a long time. These days, that unfavorable position is occupied by more recently migrated groups. I mean the rhetoric from the outgoing president alone about central American immigrants was truly abhorrent and dehumanized them in the eyes of his supporters.

However, that still doesn't explain why in the CompSci major at UC berkely, only 16% were white (1). Yet when you look at the makeup of some of the FANGs in the bay area, most are ~50% white or more (2).

You and I seem to have different standards for "taking it out" on or "berating" someone. Even if the "threat" is taken at face value, the possibility of receiving a few unwanted emails per week is hardly a harrowing scenario. If you feel otherwise, then consider that is exactly what GitHub is doing to me.

It was a joke. Tamper it down a bit. I get that you've suffered in a customer-facing position before, but this is not a measured response.
At a guess - flashier marketing sold to consumers who don't know better.
>The distinction between “the language” and “libraries that ship with the language” is not useful but even if it was the comment presents initialization a wart in the core language.

I think it is extremely useful, as the standard library is easily (and often) replaced. We have a difference of opinion, and that is perfectly fine, but please do realize that this doesn't mean my comment is in bad faith.

Every library has a goal, and the standard library's goal is not to serve as a industry-ready plug-in for high-performance code. Writing high-performance code in C++ is an advanced task that necessitates more control, which makes the standard library not a good fit. The model of (language) + (library) makes it easy for the end user to pick a library of their choice, for their application.

>comment presents initialization a wart in the core language.

Okay, that is one point. When people say "X sucks" or "X is horrible" there is very little a reader can gain out of that. If a person's opinion is formed by deep experience with that X, then I am interested in knowing specifics that lead to that opinion.
