No it's not, that price is far far smaller and should not impact pure reads. This is probably an artifact of an anti-pattern where the same documents are constantly updated which creates significant history. At this point, that can have an impact on the index. We are working on optimizing that in which case history will no longer have an impact on these latencies while retaining the possibility to go back in time or get changesets.
I think this is what is meant by "life barely worth living" in The Repugnant Conclusion: whatever the lowest quality of life permissible for life to be worth living. This is what you call "some bar for quality of life".

The claim is that if everyone is above this quality of life, when the number of those living is sufficiently large enough, it is a better world than 10 billion individuals living amazing lives.

I’d imagine that the literal millions of dead under Belgian soil, and the total destruction wrought by WWI made them hesitant to take any sides in potential conflict. You don’t position yourself in the middle a fight between two heavyweight boxers when you are a flyweight.

Even if it’s true, that GUI never allowed it (there’re people disputing it), migrating disks between different products from the same NAS manufacturer isn’t what I’d call going out of your way. It’s one of the reasons to stay loyal to the brand when you upgrade. If it’s incompatible, it should be rejected at the start, or changed later with tons of communication and proper checks (like blocking you from further sw upgrades until you migrate your array). Randomly breaking it is Synology going out of their way to hurt users.

Currently Encore deploys to Kubernetes, and uses Terraform under the hood to provision the infrastructure. Over time we'll add much more flexibility in how you deploy the application and the infrastructure we support.

It's not another infrastructure offering but rather a new developer experience for building backend applications and distributed systems. The idea is to get the developer feedback loop to be about building your product and writing business logic.

Encore then uses static analysis to understand what your application does, the different backend services involved, and the infrastructure you need. It can then provision all the infrastructure, servers, databases, and hook everything together.

If you suspect you have ADHD, try to find a psychiatrist/clinic specializing in adult ADHD. "Adult" is the key word here, general ADHD doctors are still focused on children. Finding an adult ADHD specialist gives you much better chance of not being ignored or pattern-matched to something else.

If you're worried it'll make you seem like you're looking for a diagnosis you'd like, be honest and up-front with them. Say, "I have a hypothesis that I have ADHD, I'm looking to have it confirmed or rejected, and in the latter case, to be directed towards a better one. Here is why I believe I may have ADHD...".
They don't care about your average Joe user. Just look at their search results and see what comes up. What they want is to transfer the 'legacy media' to their platforms.
This is in - very - poor taste.
Yes, that's entirely possible. My comment was made keeping in mind that the scientific norm is to have a single preregistration for a single experiment. If a researcher wants to test N hypothesis, using an appropriate p-value correction to account for this, usually the entire set of hypotheses and the correction itself would be contained in a single registration. And that would be perfectly fine.

Submiting a large number of individual registrations for a single set of data is just not the norm and so it would be suspicious to begin with. (Okay, I will admit that on the order of 2-3 registrations for very different categories of study may not be as strange; but certainly 20 would signal something very odd).

Last year a new type showed up, VC guys trying to buy my house (usually well below market rate).
Here's the one lesson I really want us to all learn from this: the only thing the rich fear is prison because prison robs them of time.

Fines are just the cost of doing business.

There are many other scandals: the whole subprime disaster, pollution from plants and the like where no one went to prison and people really should've.
He doesn't give you the private key, they usually are held by the exchange, local bitcoins, par example.

You could do an escrow system where you send the btc to a wallet that you need 2 of 3 private keys in order to move the funds. You, the seller, and and escrow arbiter. The seller moved the funds to the wallet, you give him the money and then with his key and your key you move it to your wallet.

In case of conflict, the arbiter can step in and decide.

I am sure with eth you can do even _more_ clever things. Whomever says you can't do trustless transactions just shows lack of imagination.

Memorizing a few foreign language keywords is certainly the smallest challenge here. You will have to do so anyway, no matter if in a foreign or your native language. It is incredible to me that anyone could seriously suggest this would make any kind of difference.

I started coding when I was a kid of 12 and certainly not (yet) good at English. If anything, my computer hobby helped me pick up more English just by the way, than I would have without it at that age.
Google where I works at is largely a C++ shop despite Android Java.

AOT compilers exists for Java, Net, Javascript. I however doubt the user experience of those.

For example, GraalVM mentions the following,

"There is a small portion of Java features are not susceptible to ahead-of-time compilation, and will therefore miss out on the performance advantages. To be able to build a highly optimized native executable, GraalVM runs an aggressive static analysis that requires a closed-world assumption, which means that all classes and all bytecodes that are reachable at run time must be known at build time. Therefore, it is not possible to load new data that have not been available during ahead-of-time compilation."

It sounds like to me that the argument isn't that an advanced technology will go back through the ledger and identify people. It's that once people have been identified/linked to a public wallet, it's really easy to determine how they spent bitcoin because the record is public and permanent.

Interestingly Thumb2 was dropped when going from Arm32 to Arm64. Perhaps the encoding was getting really complicated, and would've been even harder with 32 registers, and not being able to save a lot of memory (if many instructions use 4 bytes anyway).

Maybe one could come up with an instruction encoding that encodes some number of instructions per cache line. Every time the cpu jumps to a new instruction (at cache line address + index), the whole cache line needs to be loaded into icache anyway, and could get decoded then -> internally they get represented in microcode anyway.
If the currency is acquired through mining, then it doesn't have to flow through an establishment that has a financial license. It can still be traced, but identifying the individual is much more difficult.

To whom will monuments be built a century from now? Among them, perhaps, will be Lee Kuan Yew. He will be remembered not only as the first prime minister of Singapore, but also as the creator of authoritarian capitalism, an ideology set to shape the next century much as democracy shaped the last.

It was, after all, to Singapore that Deng Xiaoping came before enacting his far-reaching economic reforms in China. Until then, capitalism and democracy had seemed inextricably linked. Now the link is broken.

>question is whether each county has the organizational capacity and societal will to carry this strategy out.

Indeed, that's a critical question to the long term success of the strategy.

If the world is unable to put 8 billion people in solitary confinement (nevermind the disastrous effects that would cause) indefinitely until the virus is eliminated (nevermind the fact that we are incapabale of validating if it was actually completely erradicated), the virus is only going to pop back up.

There is no evidence of such a strategy working at scale across the world.

The scientists on the covid team at the WHO have said as much: lockdowns should only be used as a last resort to buy time to scale up health care resources. Should we listen to those scientists?
I'm guessing it's because the language was implemented in C, whose stdlib doesn't really do Unicode strings, and the authors didn't think to use a different string type for identifiers until it was too late.
The focus is pure code size reduction here and it doesn't look at the cache locality or performance which might be improved if the size reduction avoids some i-cache misses or not but that's a price to pay.

So what do we have?

1. Everyone who opposes Putin dies or ends up in jail.

2. Putin hasn't been tried in court to be proven guilty, so we don't "know" who's responsible.

2 is actually barely relevant in context. The fact of the matter is that the chilling effect occurs regardless.

That the incentives clearly points to one explanation and nothing else makes sense is unmistakable, but also secondary.
I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I agree. The difference is that ES6 imports are meant to be more optimized and also can allow for async/top-level async modules. I believe part of the additions of ES6 modules made it harder to treat the right hand side like a complete object that can be destructured. In summary, it's not the syntax, it's the difference in feature richness between ES6 and CommonJS importing.
But at the rate some people have casual sex they would not be able to get tested before each sexual encounter. The cost is also high and it's not clear that society should subsidize the outliers who have tons of sexual partners when the average person has 3-4 partners in their lifetime.

I don't think it's prejudiced to notice that casual sex is a risky behavior that harms one's community. We all agree wearing masks is not about your comfort level but it's about keeping society safe. Why is casual sex not seen the same way?
What did he think of crypto?
I think this is about the "pari passu" saga. It's one thing to hound individuals for their debts, quite another to hound an entire country - and in some cases there had already been a creditor resolution which he overturned.

Still I feel that asking him to die in jail for doing legal if nasty things is going a bit far.
I wonder if they're crypto-mining.
It's sad, but it seems to be true, and knowing the truth is always better. We can like and promote democracy without marketing it as something it isn't, and if we're not afraid to identify areas where it isn't competitive, we can find ways to mitigate that.

In case anyone is interested, you can get most of these exact same playlists by searching “chillhop music” on Apple Music. Probably on Spotify and others too. Very nice background music for coding (for me anyway).

In general, Spanish-speaking programmers aren't at a disadvantage because of English keywords in programming languages. When I started coding I barely knew English, and I still understood Commodore BASIC's keywords -- even if I pronounced all of them wrong.

The impediment to learning programming is the conceptual load of what the keyword means, not the language. You're already learning a new language with new "words" (e.g. BASIC), what does it matter if it's LOAD or CARGAR, RUN or EJECUTAR, PRINT or IMPRIMIR?

The real impediment for Spanish-speakers learning programming is that the vast majority of articles on cutting-edge tech are written in English. This is changing, but back when I started about 99% of articles/manuals were written in English. It only helped me learn English faster, though. (Videogames -- text adventures and the like -- were the other motivation).

Got to say, despite HN's general aversion towards blockchain/crypto, the space is budding with some really interesting decentralized frameworks, platforms, and apps not possible before at this scale.

As evidenced by Coinbase's numbers, they seemed to have absolutely zoomed past Stripe, and so it looks like there's some undeniable momentum and velocity in web3 initiatives.
> Internal Amazon documents show the company has a five-tiered ranking system for employee performance reviews and expects managers to rank 20% of employees at the top level, 75% in the middle tiers, and 5% in the bottom tier.

How does this work in practice? 5% is 1 in 20, and I doubt the average Amazon manager has 20 direct reports.

If this is company-wide guidance for how performance is generally distributed, 5% in the bottom tier doesn’t sound very draconian. Even companies with the best hiring practices can’t get 100% good performers. Having only 5% of employees underperforming at any given time across the company doesn’t seem like an unreasonably cynical take.

But, did you really believe that sitting behind an ISP, behind a 'basic' firewall (router), running Windows OS, with its firewall, and you would be safe if the FBIs/CIAs/NSAs of this world (USA, UK, China, etc.) want to take you down.. you stand a chance?

I assume that a more extreme step would be to notify the ISPs that serve specific IPs to cut them off. But that would break a lot of other things.
The core principle of science is trying to prove your belief incorrect. Mythbusters was basically trying to see if some story was plausible, and can we make the test interesting. Unfortunately this is very common even among scientists, but I using that basic principle it’s almost accidental when they learned something was different than they expected.

A great example of this is their sword breaking setup. Take two swords and whack them together seems like a natural test. Unfortunately, the issue isn’t the strength of the sword when new it’s a question of metal fatigue and defects in craftsmanship. But, rather than run the test for say 2 weeks they just increased the swing strength because that looks cool.

> And generally, people aren't talking about the average small business owner who makes $200k/yr profit. We're talking about people who have more than $50m in a big money vault. It's a straw man to replace people like pg with like, the people who run email octopus or your local credit union.

If you have a "small business" in your assets worth $49m, no worries! If you have one worth $50m, that'll be 2% please. This affects something like the richest 100,000 Americans, and they're not going to have to like, sell bricks out of the family's car wash business in order to pay it. They may spitefully lay people off or raise prices rather than pay out of their personal/business assets, but that's capitalism for you. I wouldn't blame taxes, I would blame jerks.

The amount of catastrophizing and backseat economizing around a wealth tax is super strange. Income and wealth inequality in the US is by all measures extremely high. 66% of Americans support a wealth tax, including 55% of Republicans.

Heh, I just wrote a reply saying essentially the same as you!

English keywords in languages aren't an impediment.
This is actually the new frontier in the relationship between corporations and the government. The government now allows, within certain parameters, private enforcement of public policy, if one can show damage, and the government lacks the will (or resources) for enforcement.

The theory goes, that guy is breaking the law, and it's hurting my business, but since it's low priority for the government, I'm going to start a private enforcement action. Both very ingenuous and scary at the same time.
