I usually agree with leftist views and I feel like having both parents is good for the kid. Maybe only fringe leftists believe otherwise. Or maybe it's lacking context, for example the discussion might be about abusive partners, or single people who don't want to marry but want to adopt a kid.
> Yes and distributing work with multiple processes is not the same as distributing it via threads. There is a difference in performance in different implementations and variations of concurrency and parallelism.

I literally addressed that in my first comment: "Now, maybe some languages have a harder time passing data over thread boundaries than others and maybe that impacts things. But that doesn't apply to, say, C, Rust, C++ or Go."

> Yes, the code doesn't exist because it's difficult to do, and that's what makes it interesting.

Well, I mean, I haven't done it not because it's hard, but because it appears pointless to me. That's my prior. Show me I'm wrong. I'm happy to learn something new.
Solving the search problem with Laravel and TNTSearch
I have a 2-yeard old Darter Pro, which has an Intel CPU. Love it, great laptop.

Can someone comment on the pros and cons of the Ryzen CPU? Wondering how to compare the new machine to the Intel-based System76 laptops.
If you enjoy pattern matching in Java, I would recommend checking out the latest & greatest that C# has to offer as a comparison:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/pattern-match...

Being able to combine pattern matching with switch expressions has allowed us to construct extraordinarily concise state machines for our UIs.
In my experience a lot of senior ops people are still hesitant about Google's cloud services having been burned by them in the past. Google seems to have some reputation problems, however true or untrue they may be.
I'll play this game. Reasons to like lower resolution screens:

* Concerns about power
* Concerns about HiDPI issues / fractional scaling, esp. with Linux
* Likes seeing pixels
* Price
Longer battery life and no app scaling issues (on the apps I use)
The only thing that saves your ass when the rubber meets the ice (and your car's stability assist fails) are your own lightning fast reflexes and loads of experience.

There can be the usual "do this when the car oversteers, don't do this when it understeers", but it's crucial that the beginner driver experiences it all in a safe and controlled manner. A parking lot, an old airfield, a safe road in the middle of nowhere. Literally the fun stuff we did behind our parents' backs. Pulling the e-brake on FWD cars, drifting the RWD cars, getting a feel for the different sounds of different surfaces under the tires. When doing this on snow and ice it's not even that hard on the car and it's fun and also educational.

A car sliding a bit on a snowy road when you've been expecting it is a non-event. A car sliding unexpectedly with a beginner behind the wheel is a terrifying experience and often a dice roll between stuck-in-a-snow-bank or a head-on collision.
How does it compare to Lenovo Thinkpad L15? As I understand there is no problem with running latest Linux on it, and currently I'm thinking about buying it (mostly Rails development + docker). Do you recommend any other machine?
The point of a solar panel is to absorb light and turn it into electricity, so no, not really.
C++ will structurally never have a borrow checker, because it's simply not designed in a way for that to be possible.
I prefer it since 1080p takes less resources to drive, therefore gets better battery life. On a 14" display, I think 1080p looks more than fine. If I want a hidpi display, I'll just dock to an external display.
How much of Spotify's revenue goes towards songwriters, labels, distributors, publishers, as opposed to the artist?
Yes, much like how MLK's popularity made this country socialist. This whole thread reeks of "unwise and untimely".
The first link you sent is 1024 lines long, do you genuinely believe using something like this is preferred to a simple shell script + nohup? I'm amazed at the hoops some devs jump through just to get to work with their favorite tool.

Yes, this is exactly why we got the idea of unions in the first place. Without unions we would still be forced to work at least 6 days a week, and many more drawbacks. The list is huge of what unions have given us (in Europe at least).
Server-Side Encryption: Keys to More Protection
FWIW, I feel that way about Scala, but not F#.

The only big F# feature I know of that's fallen out of favor is type providers, and, IMO, that's not because the feature was half-baked so much as because it was one of the many casualties of .NET's transition to being a truly cross-platform toolkit.
And of course After Effects is not originally from Adobe either, being bought through Aldus who in turn got it from CoSA. It's funny how much pointless early 90s computer trivia I still recall from playing with promotional CD-ROMs as a child.
I feel like battery life could be a challenge too, at 49 Wh. The M1 Macbooks have a 58 Wh battery, but they also benefit from being not-x86 and having better power management at the OS level. Dell XPS laptops with discrete graphics ship 97 Wh.
In a similar vein that people might enjoy is an old National Geographic documentary, following 4 friends who retrace the Yukon Passage through Alaska. Including: building their own raft to sail down the river, and wintering over in a cabin they build. Great watch.

A brief history of people determined to be wrong
In the US, the analogy would be if apps had tracking SDKs in them, that fingerprinted users across apps, in order to better target them for advertisements, and then the US government can pick up that data and do whatever they'd like with it.

I've never really thought about it before, but it would be pretty easy for a three-letter agency to set up an online advertising company for this purpose.

They start their own airlines (Air America, JANET, etc.), so starting an adtech company should be a walk in the park.
I love my numpad.
Its crazy that someone would do something they probably really enjoy without getting financial benefit out of it. JUST WILD.
My solution started out as a 10-line Python script where I would manually clean the data we received, then process it.
CEO: "Will this scale?"

Me: "No, absolutely not, at some point we'll need to hire someone who knows what they're doing."

As time passed and we got more data, I significantly improved the data cleaning portions so that most of it was automated, and the parts that weren't automated would be brought up as suggestions I could quickly handle. I learned the very basics of performance and why `eval` is bad, set up my script so I didn't need to hard-code the number of files to process each day, started storing data on a network drive and then eventually a db...

I still don't know what I'm doing, but by the time I left it took maybe 5 minutes of manual data cleaning to handle thousands of jobs a day, and then the remainder could be done on a single machine.
They're also now the market that all movies must target in order to be successful.
Show HN: Bluquist – Measure. Match. Grow
The Nick Young meme is probably closest to what happened: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hiphopdx-production/2016/06/nick-yo...

This person simply does not understand that anything “works” in a bull market. The next recession or cryptocurrency market pullback will be their first since they started speculating, and after that, I think their advice will be better.
There are hn polls.
You're welcome guys. I'd been considering whether to wait for one of these or buy something else.

After just putting in an order for a Darter Pro, of course this immediately becomes available!
Because Trumps been shown true in his "lies" more often than people on the left want to admit? It's laughable how often his "lies" are simply opinions others disagree with... or are actually true - even if it takes months or years for the truth to come out.

Example: My campaign was spied upon.

Even to this day, the left is caught up in lies... "find the fraud" for example was just proven an out right lie.

Honestly, how can you believe the left as they scream LIAR! when they support Biden/Harris? Biden can't speak without lying and Harris couldn't even win her own state because she's laughable?

Trumps got problems galore... but he's still 100x better than anything on the left - which is why he won in 2016... and why they had to cheat in 2020.
I would have love something like 2160 × 1440 (3:2 aspect ratio), but then they'd likely not have included a numpad.
Docker Series B: More Fuel to Help Dev Teams Get Ship Done
Yes, ignoring all other costs isn't great.

Their revenue per subscriber is also substantively lower - including free users, discounted EDU users, and family memberships. Excluding free users, it's probably ~$5 per user.

That being said, Apple Music pays .75p/stream, Tidal is 1.25p/stream. They can probably figure it out.
> We are the ones who benefit from the shit salaries that musicians make

Not really. We are just being paid enough so that we do not leave for somewhere else.

The ones who really benefit are the shareholders.

Coincidentally, the same people who didn't do any of the work.
I completely agree. I will never go back to 1080p and a 16/9 ratio.

3/2 is the best ratio ever when writing code (after 4/3, but that’s definitely dead).

Just wondering: if there was a 'right to repair' on computers in the 60's, would Intel have made an integrated microprocessor? I mean: you can't just fix a dead register by replacing it anymore...

Lots of electronics have become more reliable by being fully integrated units. I prefer a durable phone to a repairable phone that needs constant replacements.
Why aren't there any bold laptop manufacturers? This is a 2021 laptop that uses USB-A primarily, a meh panel, and no particular standout design features. Why do I have to get a mac if I want actually good design?

System76 should take a risk and truly make an interesting laptop. leaving the standard, boring design to the big name companies.
> Fortunely crushing unions is not a legal in many countries.

Unfortunately, some companies like Amazon seems to simply include "break labor laws" on their balance statements in the end of the year, as they keep breaking the laws in order to save short-term costs.
Maybe the FTC just needs more time to be right.

Little known fact --- Amazon is doing an end run around Google's advertising business.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/07/25/an-amazon-search-i...

What Google does with regard to advertising actually detracts from the usability of their search engine. The info you're really looking for keeps getting buried under ad BS that you don't really want.

Google sells advertising, Amazon sells products --- and advertising. Google attracts people looking for information and annoys them with ads. Amazon attracts people looking for products and gives them ads that are actually relevant to the product they're looking for.

In other words, ads on Amazon will likely always be better targeted and more effective --- and less annoying.

If enough businesses would just say no to annoying people with advertising on Google the antitrust issue will take care of itself. But no one ever got fired for burning money with Google.
Is this system better than, say, Lenovo Legion 5 or HP Envy, they have similar price, are those System76 laptop offer better build quality, etc?

How are they keyboards in System76 laptops? By the pictures it does not look very good.
Would like to see more specifics than just "AMD Radeon Graphics".

That could mean literally anything from Intel integrated level performance, to a proper dedicated GPU, though for the price here I'm guessing on the former ...

I was amused when a Bernie supporter contacted me with the argument that Medicare 4 all would lower my car insurance rates. "Why is it a good thing to transfer costs away from drivers?" was my pretty immediate response.

Of course my 'libertarian' leaning state rep supports the same changes to vehicle insurance, except the costs would be dumped on Medicaid most likely.

Clipboard History a la CopyClip for Mac

I'm honestly surprised it's not more widely adopted, the ability to have a shortcut key to access the last X things I've copied to the clipboard has made a huge difference in my dev work.
Didn't labour productivity already grow quite significantly? As I understand it, wages and productivity growth for the 99% tracked quite closely until the mid-70s, after which productivity kept growing in leaps and bounds but wages stagnated. Am I incorrect?
This is the one place where the Dunning-Kruger effect is actually beneficial. Have Confidence (maybe false) in your ability and jump in to get started. Learn as you do and iterate amongst the various choices i.e. "trial and error" approach.
>Wow. Downvotes for a shout-out to Linode. Didn't know there was so much Linode hate out there. What's up with that? What's wrong with Linode?

I didn't downvote your comment but it reminded me of an old comment about Linode which is still a mystery to me:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10999397

To this day, I have no idea what that was about. Does Linode not do backups?!? Is one of the founders a pedophile?!? Whatever it is, is it unmentionable because of fear of lawsuit?!?
Interesting to see this called a Series B. Did Docker hit reset after the split?

Here's a separate thread for "Docker Series B: More Fuel To Help Dev Teams Get Ship Done" - with a bit more info on what the plan is from Scott.

Interesting to see this news on the same day that "We don't need Docker" was also on the front page of Hacker News. I think we absolutely still need Docker in 2021.

Yes, this very well could be true. I suppose when I wrote "standard" I meant to convey that the ideas can be attacked in standard ways from both libertarian and liberal/progressive directions more than that his ideas were unoriginal.
Scoop: Facebook explores paid deals for new publishing platform
I think a big objection to moving off AWS is a result of enterprises locking in to AWS-specific technologies.

AWS has a lot of neat, domain-specific products and managed services, but it's important to recognize those come with vendor lock-in and that's by design.

If possible, build out your stack to avoid dependence on AWS-only stuff. It's worth it to ask "if I wanted to transition away from AWS in six months, is this addition going to help or hinder that goal?" It's a lot easier to migrate something that uses generic technologies like VM instances, vendor-neutral containerization, and managed databases versus something super specific. And AWS has a lot of super specific stuff, just look at their ever-expanding product list [1].

Once you get away from the specialized domain-specific products, you start to realize that AWS pricing is really nothing special, particularly for VM instances as you've noted.

I'd love to replace my thinkpad. But I need/want things that seem unavailable.

* trackpoint + buttons (can be without touchpad, disabled anyway)
* full keyboard
* strong durable
* removable battery
* 4k screen
* ecc 64-128gb
* rj45
* lots of ports
* hardware switches to disable: networking, camera, mic,..

Thinkpad's are move farther away each year. I hope some company will fill the gap.
China has money to spend and US companies need to tap into that market.

"Choose to" tap into that market. No company "needs" to be in China.

Just like there are thousands of companies in Europe that do not do business in the United States, and thousands of companies in Brazil that do not do business in Russia.
Wow, that is wild. Truly divide (on racial boundaries) and conquer.
I would imagine part of the explanation is that Apple is a trillion dollar company and System76 is a million dollar company.
Seconding the numpad thing. I wish laptops would come with something like a 50% ortholinear mechanical keyboard in them.
Venture capital is still a boys' club
"But mom! She said free candy!"
There’s another distinction. Some people will replace broken parts with new parts. And some people will repair that part, sometimes inventing and building new tools on the fly. Former is relatively easy and one should just follow manuals to succeed. Latter is some kind of art, which requires flexible mind and tons of experience.
My eyesight is not great. The higher resolution screen is wasted on me, and wastes computing / energy resources to drive it.

I enjoy gaming on my laptop, and prefer native resolution gaming.

I require a high refresh rate due to post-concussion syndrome. So sure, if that can be the case with a higher resolution that's fine, but that isn't the norm yet. (2021 seems to be the year for QHD 165Hz though!)

I'm in no way saying QHD or 4K isn't ideal for anyone. It's just silly to say that "this option I don't want is a non-starter" as if it applies to everyone.
I think it's interesting to discuss how many are stuck on java8. It was a long time many of us were stuck on java6 or 7, and finally got up to java8. But then when 9, 10 and 11 came no one made an effort to upgrade. Why? And now we're at 15 and people are starting to feel the heat.

We only migrated our main service from 8 to 15 a month ago (AWS deprecation), but still have lots of 8 code laying around (luckily some of the container-features were backported)
Automated Data Quality Testing at Scale with SQL and Machine Learning
I don't know. But Ben Hoyt got a similar time as me too. I saw your GitHub PR. Moreover, looking at your program, I would expect it to be slower than the other optimized versions (Rust, C, Go). Because it doesn't actually implement the optimizations in those programs! So not only is your code slow on two different compilers, but it also matches my prior.

You're the one who came out of the woodwork and said a bunch of nonsense. Maybe put in a little effort here to try to figure things out. Like, oh, I don't know, run the benchmarks on the other programs to compare relative timings. Like I did. Or show the commands you used to compile. Like I did. Or show the commands you used to run the program. Like I did. You want me to hold your beer? Fine. But put in the work.

My bet is that you're being just as sloppy now as you were in your comments. You're probably using the wrong input. See https://github.com/benhoyt/countwords/blob/aa45dcfd7eff177c8... and https://github.com/benhoyt/countwords/blob/aa45dcfd7eff177c8...
They're also now the market that all movies must target in order to be successful.

It depends on your definition of "successful."

You can have a successful movie and not distribute it in China. It won't make the absolute maximum number of dollars possible on planet Earth, but it can still be a successful movie.

But it makes the trailers significantly more expensive and the shipping cost more variable because the amount contributed by the trailer will be extremely variable. On top of that to cut down on cost you'd want the inverters to be on the tractor instead of the trailer but now you have truckers working around and having to plug and unplug live HV DC connectors as they connect and disconnect. Plus now the trailers are a hazard to worry about when they're just sitting around because there's all those solar cells creating big DC volatages just waiting for a circuit to be made.

> There are a lot of objections on here to being "valued" and "commodified." I don't understand why.

Because it is immoral. It is not because it is maybe commonplace, and valued in a capitalist society, that it is a good thing.

And, the more you apply that mindset in the workplace, the more you will do it outside the workplace.
But they don't even need to do that - they just approach an existing adtech company with a FISA warrant and get their data. If they started their own adtech company, eventually they would be out-ed and exposed. But with a FISA warrant, it's mostly business-as-usual for everyone.

Winter tires are worth it if it snows regularly where you live, you'll probably save money in the long run by not crashing and your insurance might even give you a discount for putting winter tires on.

I don't put on winter tires nowadays because it only snows 0-2 times a year here so I simply don't drive in the snow instead. When I lived in a very snowy area I got winter tires put on every winter.

A genuine question: how much of Spotify royalty payments goes to the artist? I mean, many of them have agencies that get a cut of this money, or I'm wrong?
