Same, but I think it's also just that Bellroy is just a massive Display advertiser.
We just finished rewriting a 3 year old Rails app in Node+Knex, performance with 10k concurrent sessions is roughly 4x and p95 is 10x better.

Keep this in mind whenever someone decides Rails is fine for a quick prototype and then leaves you to deal with production.

I am of the unpopular opinion that Rails "many opinions" are confusing as hell to someone who doesnt breathe Rails due to the sea of implicitness: Symbols just appear you are supposed to know where from, debug requires context dumps, gems are an unholy mess of registering hooks and overloading core apis. Combined with "slow as a dog", I really dont see what there is to love here.
> The patch workflow is smooth a

Can you explain what a "patch workflow" is and in what sense Github is not a "patch workflow"?

There's some confusion since some people associate "patch workflow" with an email-based workflow.
Out of curiosity, what do you think the node ecosystem is lacking in this regard?
The OEIS can also be considered a sort of number encyclopedia, especially for large numbers.

It can also be interesting to link geometric observations with unrelated OEIS sequences. For example, the number of rectangles on a square grid turned out to be the octagonal pyramidal numbers.
its not redundant. without rotation it could only ever drill downwards.

Smartphones eg. measure six dimensions of freedome, including rotation about every axis. 3 for location, 3 for orientation.

this has very little to do with synapses.
Thanks, jaflo. I use the JS body approach, but I was hoping I was missing a declarative option.

Even JS has the PointerEvent so that you can encapsulate behaviors like dragging inside a single DOM element without having to set state for a parent element like body. I was hoping CSS had something analogous (though I can't currently think of how it would work).
That's always the problem with US-based startups it seems. Anything that involves making a device involves a lot of upfront expense, probably offshore manufacture, sometimes running into the shoals of the FDA. Consumer electronics is a tough ol' business.

Years ago, most new companies made a physical thing, and if I helped they had supporting software. The move into an economy based on surveillance advertising appears near-total.

Obviously you could sell a box with knobs and buttons and a speaker that a R-Pi is stuck into, but that's hardly mass market and itself wouldn't be cheap to build at low volume.
> Kudos: Compliments, highlighting successes, lauding positives.

I think advices can be without providing proper context can not only be counter-productive, it can also create toxic cultures. I've been part of a company where the CTO was a very self-help guru type "positive" person. There were compliments, positivity, motivation etc. everywhere. There was no bar for excellence. Everything was excellent to begin with. Everyone was congratulating themselves not only for doing the miniscule things, but also for bringing in a good team spirit. The whole culture ended up being a participation trophy culture.

All the good employees left the company, and the medicore ones were still doing the same thing last team I heard. This toxic positivity has become very popular in pop cultures. Unfortunately it's all appearances, underneath the positivity is the thriving mediocrity.
> Crypto takes one of the tools for them (Debasing the currency and strict control over local banks).

How? Nobody needs cryptocurrency to pay their bills and statistically nobody uses it - many, like Bitcoin, are designed to discourage regular usage – so all the government has to do is control exchange points in the local economy. Until you can pay taxes or rent, buy groceries, etc. that gives the government more control than they get with cash.

Since cryptocurrencies provide a full irrepudiable audit trail, that also makes it extremely risky to try to skirt local regulations since any attempt to do a transaction under the table has an inherent risk that the other party, willingly or not, is or ever will be giving data to to government. Since we’re talking about systems which have spent many years failing to be capable or desirable for routine use even in countries which don’t have strict rules limiting use, it seems unlikely that this would provide any significant protection in a more repressive regime.

The other thing you have to remember is that the quasi-religious desire for deflationary behavior from cryptocurrency proponents isn’t what most people want. Deflation causes economic contraction and favors rich asset holders who have reliable revenue streams – unless that’s you, the modest inflation targeted by most central banks is a much better deal.

The ability to turn electricity into money is not the problem, or if it is, then lump all of modern endeavors in capitalism alongside of Bitcoin.

The problem is we (the world) are not effectively taxing carbon emissions. Right now it should be unprofitable to use coal or oil energy. If this was done right, Bitcoin would be a massive stimulus to renewables.
I would be interested if any task-performance based studies had been run with different naming schemes and enough developers to see which naming conventions worked best. Some simple job like fixing a bug or a simple refactoring, judged on time to completion and correctness.
Sure it does. I teach intro programming and I have 100+ freshmen students every semester who have no idea what visual studio code is. Students in US high school are learning Java these days due to it being the language of the AP exam, and they're not using Visual Studio or VSC. They're using IntelliJ, Netbeans, and Eclipse. Microsoft needs these kids to use VSC to get them on the Microsoft developer path early.
Depends on the type of proof-of-concept you're building, e.g., website with lots of user interactions or a data pipeline?

Either way, I use python (FastAPI) and vue.js to keep the front-end and backend separate. That way, if you're working in a small team then responsibilities are easily separated and helps with scaling too, e.g. when you reach 10k users. There's also a great range of libraries available so prototyping is quick on both ends.

As for deployment, I use docker and a digital ocean droplet. That way, you can deploy easily as and when needed.
Like for example you’re clandestinely manipulating me right now. Everything you say is manipulation of me towards your opinion.

And you say it’s a cost paid by others? Can you give me an example of how I don’t pay the cost? Right you can’t because you didn’t know that I’m a user of Facebook. Logically it is impossible for you to know whether I “pay” for these costs or not.

Basically without knowing who I am you made up a lie out of thin air. There is no other logic that can explain what you just said as you know nothing about me. Is lying in itself not clandestine manipulation? Are you not lying in attempt to clandestinely manipulate me and others reading this towards your opinion?

You obviously have no skin in the game, you don’t even use Facebook, you’re just harping off about it because you don’t give a shit about freedom of speech at all.

Is the paragraph above true or a manipulative lie? Did lying like that make you angry? What about that garbage lie you made up about me? Is this the same brainless response and fury everyone is reacting to Facebook “experimenting” on us without deeper consideration?

Does me or you being angry about manipulative bullshit give either of us the right to clamp down on our right to say it? Should I have the right to call the police on you for making up shit and lying?

No. And honestly outside of the context of “giving you an example” I suggest you check yourself. The drivel coming out of your mouth is deliberately offensive. “A cost paid by others” is an outright lie made up for the express purpose of manipulation and inciting anger. Emotional manipulation is no less evil then experimental manipulation.

Careful what you do to your own freedom of speech rights... If you succeed, one day your ideas will be muzzling your own manipulative vitriol like a dog.

Perhaps I can call out to dang, have him come over and moderate this thread. No let’s make it so that the government can moderate Facebook, which then in turn means they can moderate you.

What do you think is the justification the CCP gives themselves when they moderate the entire internet in China? It’s the same justification you’ve given me, they seek to moderate clandestine manipulation.
Yeah that's probably the easiest and most latency-free way. It's absolutely 60fps of unique frames, especially with GH2. GH1 can also be hacked for 480p, even though the option isn't present in the normal game.
Microsoft are going big on rust and wasm. They have had their fingers burned to much in the past from being late adopters (linux, containers etc) and don't want to be at the back again.
It is comparing the energy consumed by Visa to the energy consumed by Bitcoin. If you want to get into other resources e.g. supply chains for all the computing hardware used by Visa versus Bitcoin...is there any reason to think Bitcoin would do better here? Mining operations have become enormous, thousands of machines all churning away, and there are many such operations. I suspect Visa has a smaller footprint here as well.
Nobel prize PHD Inventor of the PCR test accused dr fauci of abusing the PCR test to increase aids funding. Run a PCR test over 30 cycles and you get as many false positives as you want. Also said fauci will lie straight into a camera for his bosses.
This is far from proprietary, I would say it doesn't even rise to the level of "open secret". It's plain and obvious to anyone in the industry, just not exactly advertised outside it.

Personally, I left the industry in 2006 and it was already very close to what's described in this article. I was working for a tier-1 vendor, sitting in the carrier's offices coordinating field work, and saw every facet of these interactions. (Technically I wasn't even working for the vendor, I was working for a contracting firm that had temped me out to the vendor, so it's even more abstract.) Institutional knowledge was held by project managers on the vendor's side at least as much as by the carrier's own staff.

Talk to literally anyone in the industry. I'd be surprised if you can find a single one who says it's not as bad as this article suggests.

I don't think they try to sell you what you've alrady bought, I think they're trying to sell you what you have shown any kind of interest in. Perhaps you filled in the order and then backed out- how would Google's recommender system know that? I mean, they sure can but not for everyone, probably (hopefully). So the moment you show any kind of interest in some kind of product, they bombard you with ads for that same kind of product, hoping that they will get you in the short window of time right before you've made a purchase.

... or not. Maybe their recommender systems have simply decided that buying product X is highly correlated with buying product Y where Y = X. Who knows? Probably not even google itself knows.

Also, remember that google is not trying to sell you anything, they're only trying to maximise adoption of their ad platform by advertisers. Who cares what you actually buy? Not Google.
At least some credit card companies support (in some cases) getting an itemized receipt - I know I've been in my AMEX account and been able to see the full details of a purchase.

It needs the credit card company, the payment processor, and the merchant to all have compatible systems that support it. I know I've seen it advertised as a feature of some business cards.
There are many sources of errors that people have described in other comments. The proper way to deal with this is a blinded experiment.

Preparation:

1. Get two identical phones, one that you use, and one that has a dead battery.

2. Fix a set of product-categories.

Experiment:

Every week,

1. Label the phones A and B. Use a coinflip to decide whether the working one is A or B. Record which it was.

2. Hand the phone to someone else. They exchange the labels for 1 and 2. If heads A=1, if tails A=2, and record the coinflip.

3. Get the phone labelled 1 back. Neither of you know whether it is working or not.

4. Randomly pick a topic from the pre-fixed list and talk about the topic near the phone.

5. Let the other person remove the labels.

6. Pick out the working phone and go about your day.

7. Write down whether you see ads relating to the topic, yes or no.

Analysis:

Join the records, to see which weeks you used a working phone, and if those corresponded to seeing ads.
What does codecov offer as a service that you don't get with tools like Istanbul and Sonarqube? Is it just "ease of use"?
If you are already comfortable with python then choose django. Learning a new framework will take time, which will be your case with django. You don‘t want to learn a new language too.
Many purchases are recurring consumables. Food, clothing, medicine, office supplies, car parts- none of it lasts forever. What does it cost to be reminded that you can buy more?

Also, completely unrelatedly, if you saw some armchair internet rando claim they'd debunked a major and long-standing business strategy of market sector leader, how seriously would you take them?
That's the beauty of this. You don't need a fine grained rating system. By comparing your preferences to those of others, the aspects of what you like and don't like become implicit.

A product has features in some high dimensional quality space. When you rate it, you provide information about your preference for those qualities without needing to explicitly rate them or even have a concept of what they are called.
I use Node. I don't think Node is wildly better than anything else, but I'm used to it and it's good enough, at least for now. I'm unaware of any back-end language that forces dependencies to stay in the same language, but something probably exists somewhere.

I agree that node-gyp is a problem. It's possible to avoid, but can take some work (particularly when you start dealing with databases that basically have to be in compiled languages). The one saving grace is that if you have a set hardware that you're running on, you can sometimes vendor node-gyp dependencies. Unfortunately, that comes with some weird edge cases, and sometimes your dependencies break because your OS changes. I don't recommend it, but I understand that sometimes it's unavoidable.

I am hopeful that native WASM will solve some of these problems, but I don't know how realistic that hope is.
Only for collision insurance. Liability insurance has no relation to repair costs.
Clone Hero has netplay in the public test builds and wider format support than FoF (CH supports .chart format and afaik is the only significant 5-lane guitar/band game to do so).

Phase Shift also unfortunately plays like complete ass, especially on guitar.

The entire Guitar Hero community has pretty much shifted to Clone Hero, with a few diehard fans who still mod GH2/RB
Weight lost through long distance hiking is among the hardest to keep off. On the trail you have much more limited access to food, and the motivation to do 15 to 20 miles a day or possibly much more.

You get home and there is food everywhere, and maybe, maybe if you are lucky, the time and motivation to do fivish miles a day or a similar amount of exercise.

Ex-insurance company sales manager here. I agree that the insurance premiums are a good indicator but they will stay higher than normal vehicles because of the way insurance works. Reinsurers buy the potential risks in bulk and the way it is priced is putting similar risks and assets in a basket and then comparing the data they have about event possibility of the risk. The big data usually gives a pretty good indicator of the total number of accidents, incidents that will happen.

I have been away from the insurance sector for a couple years now, but before the electric car market was evaluated as its own class. This creates a huge problem because you can't distribute the claims optimally. If I simplify it you get (electric car insurance claims/electric cars that have insurance) + operation costs + profit %. Whereas in normal cars, your premium is decided based on the drivers age, previous accidents, car's age, car's color, the horse power, where the person lives, how much they drive etc. In the company I worked for we optimized the premium with over 200 data points.

You can't use the same optimization regarding electric cars because the market is so small and the data isn't there yet. Moreover insurers increase premiums to be on the safe side.

Trying to minimize edge cases can also increase complexity. As a specific example look at the behaviour highlighted in this talk where he shows the result of adding two nonsensical types. In most cases there is probably no sensible result except TypeError, but...

- Throwing a TypeError in those situations would itself require that particular edge cases are specifically defined in the spec to return TypeError, therefore actually making the spec more complex and creating more error situations for code to deal with.

- Some might get a benefit from the "implicit" behaviour even if it usually makes no sense at first glance (only in context with the other rules). Whereas TypeError is never useful in the happy path. An important idea in dynamic languages is to let the caller decide if a particular usage of a type makes sense, rather than the callee.

It all seems to be support that has nothing to do with the qualities a campaign organisation needs in its officials.

That is what I meant by the value being enforced by the courts: the artist could cheat me by selling my “exclusive” purchase again or in different locations, I could cheat them by making copies elsewhere or hiding part of the transaction, etc. and in each case the remedy is a court case just as with a normal contract making the same claim — the difference is that I don’t need to pay to maintain an expensive IT operation as well.
