Ask HN: Survey – Investment According to Interests
Hey guys

My friends and I are working on a project which will help people invest according to their interests & values (hopefully in a simple way ). If you have a spare moment, please have a look at the survey that we've compiled. It will be very valuable for us to know your opinion and will help us a lot!

Thanks!

> WASM bytecode is also more compact than JS. There's simply no reason the binaries should be even close to the same size.

The author does explain this pretty well. For an exact 1:1 comparison, yes WASM beats JS for size. JS comes with built in functionality (e.g. a garbage collector) that doesn't cost any size, but in the WASM case needs to be brought along taking up space. Even if you don't want GC, you don't get any WASM 'standard library'.
I'm honestly surprised that you are able feel any effect from such a dose. Based on what i've heard from my friend's uncle's guardener's grandmother's neighbour, this could very much be just simple placebo effect. You know you are taking mushrooms, which have no effect, but you 'feel' better.

Got a laugh out of the header "Works with all of your favourite tools", listing Google Calendar and five "coming soon"s.

The product could do with a better slogan. Calling yourself "like X, but different" is a terrible strategy if someone like myself encounters your website having never heard of X. I don't know what Calendy is and I'd have to Google your competitor to find out what your product is offering...

The demo is intuitive but I have no idea what timezone these times and dates are in. I'd guess they're in my timezone, but if they are, consider explicitly telling users that.

This looks like a very nice tool that a lot of websites can make great use of. Due to covid restrictions, stores in my country need to reserve time slots for a limited amount of visitors if they want to open. This tool can offer exactly what nearly every store here needs for an affordable price, assuming those stores haven't found an alternative solution yet.
As no one seems to have mentioned anything, version numbers below 1.0 are generally considered unstable in terms of API interface (like HCL in this case) so if you'd like to avoid similar things in the future (with either Terraform or other tools), you're best to wait until they at least release version 1.0.
Mapping Fields Auto Generated from Production Code BA/PM
Well they don't exist globally. Various US states and countries didn't copy China in a blind panic. There seems no correlation between lockdown and the overall outcome, suggesting that they don't "work". Texas opening up a month ago showed no spike in cases.

Considering the massive amounts of suffering these policies are causing, there ought to be a bit of reflection on how effective they are. We have a years worth of data now, and as I pointed out, there seems to be no correlation. There seems to be no consideration of the side effects and harms caused.

Assuming the approach of locking people up works, without taking into account the new data as it comes in is not science. It is faith.

Regardless of whatever Raku developers and advocates say, I, as a lead developer of Parrot, went out of my way to make it work better for P6.

May I point out that basically nobody of the then Perl 6 team (except Jonathan) is currently involved in the development of Raku? So please don't transfer your mistrust to these people: they have no beef in this.

But it's categorically untrue that Parrot wanted to get rid of P6 or considered P6 an afterthought or wasn't willing and able to be receptive to P6's needs, and I'm disappointed that that untruth continues to persist.

Well, maybe I don't have anything meaningful to say about this, as I have no firsthand experience in the matter. So the only thing I can do in this case, is trying to be technically correct.

I believe you had the best intentions towards Parrot and towards Perl 6 (which for some reason you keep mentioning as P6 in your replies). But, for whatever reason, it did not work out. We can keep discussing the past in that respect, but I'd rather work on the future instead.

If you really want to get the history straight, I'd suggest to write a book about it, similar to http://friendlyorangeglow.com

Inquisition meant still burning or torturing people to death - or threatening of doing so, if they continue to speak heresy, like "the earth moves around the sun".

(Galileo and the Inquisition)

Inquisition (which still exists today! only with no physical authority anymore) might be a bit missrepresented in their thirst for blood - but the harm they done over the centuries to free thinking and therefore advancement of science and technology and therefore progress of humanity as its whole - is something on its own validating their bad reputation.

obviously any distinction between an age will have to be human made, and not true in the sense of earthquakes or the composition of a molecule.

It's all obvious in retrospect... isn't it?

Just like those HBS people who shoot down Bezos when he spoke about Amazon.

Thing is: common sense is right most of the times.

Congratulations on launching. My (small) startup is a Calendly user for our sales and support staff. What would cause me to switch from Calendly to your product?

I would never want to self host this. We're a small team, and no one technical wants to manage yet another server, nor do we want the responsibility for when something screws up and a salesperson misses a demo or a support staff member isn't reminded about a training session.

The pricing isn't that competitive with Calendly ($3/user/month savings) which would translate to a savings of $108 annually for us, not enough to justify switching.

I feel pitching this as an open source alternative to Calendly is the wrong angle. The only people who care about open source are developers who are the least likely people to need scheduling software. And people who do need Calendly aren't going to be moved to switch because Calendly works well enough already.

Finally, the copy at the bottom of the page reads:

> For instance, booking a COVID vaccine shouldn't happen on a server in another country that somebody else is in control of.

Are people using Calendly to book COVID vaccines? If I used your product instead, wouldn't I still be booking a vaccine on someone else's server?

I wish any small competitor success against a large incumbent, but I would radically change my approach to compete against Calendly.
> much of modern Yoga practise in the west

That's a shift in goalposts from the original post's claim of "common modern Yoga poses" - Yoga practise in the west is only a small portion of modern Yoga in general. There's a difference between saying "common modern English borrows a lot from Hindi grammar" and "modern English spoken in India borrows a lot from Hindi grammar" - and there's as much difference between your statement and the statement the original comment made.
> I think it's the fairest proxy we got

You are simply rehashing the idea that free market is holy and magic. Instead, housing is inelastic. Also, apartments are non-fungible goods.

Furthermore, they have a ton of externalities. (e.g. access to transportation, shops, workplaces, schools)

All of this breaks every assumption around free market theory. Unsurprisingly, governments intervene heavily in the housing market almost in every developed country. The only exceptions lead to a combination of slumslords exploiting the poorest people and gated communities for the wealthy.

I’ve had an XPS 13 for a few years now, running Ubuntu.

Once I got the track pad settings right, I haven’t had any complaints. Issue with the track pad was touches while typing. Can’t recall now, but some setting I found in Ubuntu fixed it.

I find the screen great. Although more recently I’ve been coding longer hours on it, I find the keyboard a bit small. I’m looking for a 27” 4K external monitor and mechanical keyboard at the moment.

The speakers are not great, pretty quiet. But you can over drive them if necessary. But if you care about sound quality you’ll use headphones.

Everything has just worked with Ubuntu. Been very impressed. Came from a MacBook Air, and I was nervous but now I’d never go back to OSX.
The middle ages were a terrible time for India. The Islamic Conquest put a definitive end to a relative era of peace and took India to the dark ages. Most Indian kingdoms were soft (Buddhism was the prevalent religion) and fell like ninepins to hardened invaders.

For example, all UK mobile phone numbers begin 07 (i.e. +44 7), fixed/special rate 08, and premium rate 09.

But SMS also has "short codes", which is probably what's being abused here. 5 or 6 digit numbers, usually used for things like "Text 12345 to donate €2 to this charity" or "Send 'CXM' to 12345 and receive a message telling you when the next bus comes to this stop, costs 10¢".

Yeah, it’s surprisingly common. For years when getting the a CalMac ferry from Oban in Scotland you could spot that the MV Isle of Mull had been extended because they had to repaint the ship’s name. That was done to fix stability as all the steel was right at the thickest end of the specified tolerance resulting in the ship being heavier than intended.

Why Amazon Has So Many Counterfeit Goods
To me it seems FLoC is more about trying to stop a fingerprinting arms race between browsers and adtech, as will happen if third party cookies are removed and no other alternative is provided. In an ideal world adtech companies would just hold up their hands and say 'games up, on to something else' but it's an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars so if the more honest players leave the shadier companies will be only too happy to cash in.
> But updates and Linux are very prone to breakages - there’s too much hw and sw combinations to expect solid experience.

That seems like FUD to me. I am running Linux since over 20 years. A NAS's hardware interfaces are mostly HDD and network drivers, and I have not seen them breaking in many years.

And especially for PC-platform hardware, or ARM SoC in which Linux is the dominant OS. I could understand if NAS vendors would say that in their advertisement, but what is the substance of claims like this? Especially since these things runs Linux as well.
Along similar lines, some years ago I really enjoyed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPlpphT7n9s as an introduction to the realities of the pronunciation of Shakespeare's English. Jump to 5 minutes in for a demonstration of how "lines" and "loins" were pronounced the same and resulted in a pun that's missed in modern pronunciation.

Chrome is also hard-coding exemptions to Google and DoubleClick domains from their so-called privacy features.

This includes things like clearing the cookies leaving Google cookies alone, to sending a header with a browser ID to Google domains. I really doubt Google will get rid of all theirs methods to tie in their scripts on third-party websites to one user ID, as that will greatly reduce the effectiveness of Google Analytics or ReCAPTCHA.
> 99% of all web sites run with a user with full permissions

In my professional career it's 0% for public facing apps, the simplest custom CMSs based systems I maintain has seperation between database users for a 100MB DB. Many of the newer ones have a sync to read only copies for most of the actions that the app needs to do. 99% sounds horrible, I can't even imagine how you could get to such a state!

Sure considering how bad login is handled every where (even in SAML), it's not that surprising.

FOMO.
If you like foreign key constraints to actually be enforced automatically (without turning them on in a pragma and/or expecting that everyone who connects to your database does the same or uses a version compiled with custom flags), transactions not to allow an accidental commit after a syntax error, richer indices than btree ones, enforced typechecking without a CHECK constraint, DML commands other than SELECT telling you what rows were returned, etc., the functionality is simply missing in SQLite. Some of it is for backwards compatibility, some not, but at the end of the day it's just not as pleasant to use as something like Postgres as a SQL
database. These have all caused issues I actually ran into while using the database, some of which led to integrity violations that took a long time to fix. Sure, they're documented behaviors, but that does not mean they're good behaviors, and they substantially restrict the situations in which I'm willing to deploy it far more than any scalability issues do.

If, on the other hand, you're just using it as a transactional storage engine, none of this stuff really matters and I understand the praise--hence why I think the two modes of use should be differentiated. The other thread responding to me is basically all about extending the very barebones provided interface with custom, application-level semantics. I agree that SQLite is excellent for this, but you have to remember that this is not the only thing people want out of a database.
We just moved to Mailgun because SendGrid did something similar to us! Fortunately we only used SMTP so it was a straightforward change, but having a backup for something like Twilio Video would be quite an effort.

Specifically about Emacs, I'm facing a tough choice between mapping Caps Lock to Mod3 or Ctrl. The latter is a common choice as Emacs shortcuts hail from an era when the Ctrl key was located there.

I settled on Mod3 as it is just way more frequently used and I seem to not be able to consistently hit the other Mod3. Remapping LCtrl-Super-LAlt to Super-Alt-Ctrl kinda works though as I can now use my thumbs for it. Swapping Ctrl and Tab could also work as there is a tab key on Level 4, but it's way more involved to do that.

I also found it necessary to replace Ctrl-X with Ctrl-V because on Bone the X is just too far away and I would have to twist my hand to reach it. Using RCtrl is also a possibility, most Emacs commands are intended to be performed with LCtrl though...
Thanks for doing this! I got it running immediately and I'm impressed and will try it in a project I have in mind plus spread the good word.
Love the idea! Though I would have used the singular imperative more, so e.g.

salūtat (he/she/it salutes) -> salūtā (salute!)
sedēs (you sit) -> sedē (sit!)
tacēte (be quiet, y'all!) -> tacē (be quiet!)

and maybe the subjunctive for "us"-suggestions, so

ambulāmus (we walk) -> ambulēmus (let's walk)
I meant WASM of course :-)
I was gonna say a queue, but I didn't want to get too fancy, but you're absolutely right. If you can use an in-memory/socket queue, even a basic one, which serializes the writes to a dedicated SQLite file, SQLite becomes as performant as any database (you're limited by disk I/O).
Isn't that pretty normal? People give different orders at different price points, according to their demand curve. The seller then chooses which order to serve and which to ignore.
Design duality and the expression problem (2018)
Please stop throwing generalized internet engineering tropes at the wall. Just because it all looks like rocket science to someone who doesn't have industry experience doesn't mean it is.

The repairs you are proclaiming to be impossible are perfectly possible to do with good results. These repairs are often performed often, just not in the high cost of labor parts of the world where HN lives (the low cost areas buy our wrecked cars to fix and sell to the point where sourcing parts for major repairs is often easier there than in the vehicle's country of origin). There's autobody industry specific tools and literature that help professionals in the industry perform the repairs properly. It's perfectly possible to take a car apart and reassemble (with good parts) the way an OEM would have if you're willing to invest in the tooling (mostly for welding in hard to reach areas). Car passenger cabins aren't supposed to flex (but in practice they do so within acceptable limits) and OEMs provide service literature telling you what you can and can't modify, much repair info can be gleaned by reading between the lines of such service literature. The welding issues you are describing are simply not an issue for skilled welders. Your opinion of engineering education is hard to reconcile with the observed performance of new engineers in any/every field.

There is no evidence to support your belief that company towns were an exploitive institution. It's just another popular myth that persists because it resonates with inherent biases against the rich, and serves certain parties' interests in delegitimizing private property rights.
