> What about user-supplied JSON schemas? You can't add types at runtime.

That kinda sounds like you just launched the goalposts into the ocean right here.

> Also, JSON schemas allows you to encode semantics about the value not only their types:

JSON schemas encode types as constraints, because "type" is just the "trival" JSON type. "URL" has no reason not to be a type.

> in Rust you would need an enum

Yes? Enumerations get encoded as enums, that sounds logical.

> a deserializer from the string to the enum.

Here's how complex the deserializer is:

#[derive(Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "lowercase")]
enum Role { Admin, Moderator, Member, Anonymous }

And the second line is only there because we want the internal Rust code to look like Rust.
If you spend enough time learning about it, you will see that it is definitely a lot of both.
Within the VA hospital system, the data admins often got onto their "soapboxes" to dress down the 1400+ data analysts for writing inefficient SQL queries. If you need 6 million patients, joining data from 15 tables, gathering 250 variables, a beginning SQL user has the potential to take 15-20 hours where they could be pulling for 1-2 if they do some up-front filtering and sub-grouping within SQL. If you already know you'll throw out NA's on certain variables, if you need a certain date or age range, or even the way you format these filters: these all lead to important savings. And this saves R from being full on memory, which would often happen if you fed it way too much data.

Within a system of 1400 analysts, it makes a big difference if everyone's taking 2X or 4X the time pulling that they could be. Then, even the efficiently written pulls get slowed down, so you have to run things overnight...and what if you had an error on that overnight pull? Suffice to say, it'd have been much simpler if people wrote solid SQL from the start.

20+ year technology career working with many cutting edge technologies including AI/ML/self driving cars/smart cities/VR, as well as with SaaS ecommerce: leading for big names like Citibank, Hawaiian Airlines, Wall Street Journal, and most recently Foxconn.
The tech was "stolen" from HITS/IBM Research.

Because of their success with their initial data center approach AltaVista was arguably one of the last to shift to a model that more closely resembled the one Google employed, but they certainly did a very fine job of it (late mover advantage and all that). I still liked AllTheWeb's data centers somewhat better, but at that point the differences were pretty small.

I wouldn't agree with your characterization of Brin & Page's contributions, but their direct technical contributions to Google by that time were at best marginally greater than Yang's, so it's not really relevant anyway.

Google definitely had some great tech, but the extent to which that won them the game is more myth than reality. Their aggressive strategic moves are really what made them successful.
We've been using volta at sentry.io for probably close to two years now, and I have to say, it's one of those tools I almost never think about because it legitimately "just works" (and is very very fast).

It has definitely helped to keep our team's environment in sync as we grow in # of people building Sentry. It's pretty much eliminated the need to ask 'are you on node / yarn x.y.z?
Yeah, I know, and I agree that that is kinda cool. But in terms of everything else, especially in terms of standard vs custom stuff it is a very small change from iOS devices. If there was any business reason to adopt standards (say Boot Camp would've been deemed important) – they would've at least used UEFI.

Following similar observations I was wondering if one can actually execute SQL queries inside of a Python process with the access to native Python functions and Numpy as UDFs. Thanks to Apache Arrow one can essentially combine DataFrame API with SQL within data analysis workflows, without the need to copy the data and write operators in a mix of C++ and Python, all within the confines of the same Python process.

So I implemented Vinum, which allows to execute queries which may invoke Numpy or Python functions as UDFs available to the interpreter.
For example: "SELECT value, np.log(value) FROM t WHERE ..".

https://github.com/dmitrykoval/vinum

Finally, DuckDB makes a great progress integrating pandas dataframes into the API, with UDFs support coming soon. I would certainly recommend giving it a shot for OLAP workflows.
I guess the information was there somewhere but I still don’t understand what it is. This is not clear enough.
Countries competing on tax rates is exactly why Janet Yellen has floated the idea of a 'Global Minimum Tax'. Countries competing gets in the way of the grand vision she and her ilk share for how they want to organize society.

Yes it can. It blocks the request to your first-party domain based on path/query.
I'm not sure what experience you've had with them, but I've also done the same and interfaced with both types of parts in the past. My personal experience is that you seem to get what you pay for — while ultrasonic sensors are incredibly cheap they're also often fairly inaccurate, much more than the VL53L0X. Both parts have their use cases but it seems to me that the original creator of Daytripper probably valued that accuracy over the increased BOM cost by a few dollars.
So how do you factor in the recent ruling in California?

> An appeals court in California has ruled that Amazon can be held liable for products sold through its marketplace by a third-party seller

That seems to obviate the distinction of 'marketplace facilitator' vs. 'retailer' for them. That makes them much more like Costco with a special relationship with vendors to set up vendor-specific sections in their store.

Personally, I've always detested the 3rd-party market in Amazon and wouldn't mind seeing it go away.
The difference is that on the national level you can use tariffs and other such tools to make things more fair, but there are no state level tariffs.

Does it matter that they say kickbacks when the article implies it is?

>These payments are recouped from the income taxes Apple’s new employees would normally pay to the state.
All available evidence points to the materialistic viewpoint. You cannot trust your feelings or experiences. You cannot even fully trust science and logic.

However science and logic delivers more consistent results. You may feel like there's other "wavelengths" of reality when you do a psychedelic but everyone's experience is different. The only consistent experience most of humanity shares is the scientific and logical reality we experience when sober.

So as far as we know science and logic is the more accurate and consistent barometer. This man has a claim, his article does not give adequate evidence for that claim. In fact this article shows an intense lack of basic understanding of the nature of logic and science and it's relationship with reality.

If 1000 atheists did Ayahuasca will that change all their perspectives? Does a change in perspective or a the opinion of a brain compromised by an hallucinogen serve as accurate evidence? No.

Don't be stupid. Not even photographic evidence or a video of a god serves as adequate evidence.

If you have a clear perspective on the nature of logic, probability and science and it's relationship with reality... drugs will not change your viewpoint. These kind of experiences are only valid for people who have a lack of deep understanding of reality and the tools we use to understand it.

Let's just put it logically and plainly. If drugs compromise your brain and it's ability to drive and it's ability to perceive things than how on earth does a claim about god by a person on drugs serve as an accurate account? You don't trust a man high on some drug to drive, you're going to trust his opinion on God? Don't be stupid.

The man's description and judgement is compromised and I'm surprised and disappointed so many HN readers voted this up.
The government should govern and have multiple providers serving generally non-overlapping regions. Based on how well they serve their regions their region can be enlarged or shrunk, or they be given new regions to serve.

Measuring Web Performance in 2021: The Definitive Guide
But the end result is the same, the resident doesn't have the choice (except in a few circumstances) to get mail delivery to their door. Their choice is the same today as it was 30 years ago, move into a neighborhood and get mail at a central mailbox, or don't move to a neighborhood.

Living in NYC, my mail wasn't delivered to my door. Living in Houston, TX, my mail wasn't delivered to my door. Living in Webster, TX, my mail wasn't delivered to my door. Living in Pasadena, TX my mail wasn't delivered to my door.

My cabin in a small town in Colorado, mail is delivered to a letter box attached to my door (well used to, I have told the USPS to refuse all mail). My house in a small town in upstate NY, mail is delivered to the letter flap in my door. My friend who lives in a neighborhood in NJ built over 30 years ago, has to drive to get his mail because the community board chose no mail boxes.

The end result is the exact same, the USPS just decided to codify exactly what was already happening, so that they could standardize how they were supposed to use those mail rooms.

You are overly simplifying the cause and effect, mailbox down the road != usps delivering mail to everyone, thus I'm living in some fairy tail land that no longer exists.
OP is saying that it is the trauma that causes the person to “zone out and sleep walk through life”, not the resolution. He’s comparing psychedelics to any more direct resolution of the trauma itself in that they both wake the person up. In other words, if you’re zoning out you have two choices: take psychedelics or just fix the trauma that is causing the zoning out in the first place.

A dozen hyphens might help:
“...resolving trauma-that-causes-a-person-to-zone-out-and-sleep-walk-through-life can have equivalent effects to psychedelics.”
> I'm not intimately familiar with either side, but I see it as: - Costco buys x amount of product at y price from seller and then sells it in its store. - Amazon provides a platform for sellers to sell with a cut going back to Amazon.

This isn't really how it works. Retailers very often have arrangements to defer payments until after the product is sold.

In fact, in France, retail margins are so thin that supermarket chains reportedly make most of their profit by selling the inventory, investing the money in short-term funds, then paying the suppliers one month later and keeping the interest.
I would guess that most people on HN would favor legalizing cannabis possession.
>I don't see any way this could be a meaningful survey, because the implication is that 60% of consumers would "not even consider" switching to a cheaper provider, which is ridiculous.

Are you assuming municipal broadband would be cheaper? As discussed elsewhere on this thread, it's very difficult to have any sense of the meaning of the results without understanding the questions asked.

If the question was literally just "would you consider switching from your current broadband supplier to a municipal supplier?" then it tells us very little other than people are making a bunch of assumptions that lead to mixed conclusions.
> grep . *

I believe this command is present to prefix each line of output with the filename. But this ignores all the blank lines. That can of course be fixed easily with:

grep ^ *

Here is what I normally use myself if I want to show the content of files with their filenames:

tail -n +1 *

This shows the name of the file once at the beginning of each file and no more. Here is an example:

$ tail -n +1 *
==> bar.txt <==
bar 1
bar 2
bar 3

==> baz.txt <==
baz 1
baz 2
baz 3

==> foo.txt <==
foo 1
foo 2
foo 3
Agree with the math, but since the amount is so “small” then one could also argue it’s fine to just not give Apple incentives. Corporate welfare is always controversial, but now that we’re talking about a company at the very top of the K-shaped recovery, perhaps it’s worth pushing the discussion.

I wonder if there’s an opportunity to make incentives performance-based, in the same vein as how Apple executive comp is. For example the incentives could be tied to local business revenues and property taxes. I’m sure there are a lot of ways to game any such metrics, but for a company like Apple that really does not need cash benefits, perhaps there’s some other mechanism to ensure local economic contribution.
And don't forget what I call 'the hell path':

Marketing folk - "Wait...if we're getting more responses from old people than young people and old people are more likely to run adblockers than young people, let's increase our spend on Google Ads because only people without adblockers will see them."

Technical folk - Get into woodworking.

Edit - If the technical folk push back, that's when marketing folk will say that 'the law of really big numbers' means that 40% of a big market is still worth a lot. Trust me, woodworking....:)
It is immoral to have a longer term vision than a corporation? North Carolina gets the economic proceeds after 40 years and until Apple ceases to exist. Also, this particular way of doing things aligns Apple's promise for employment numbers because they don't get the kickback without the employees and high salaries.

Sure, it might seem that the employees are paying their employer, but the nature of taxes is that you can't equivocate taxes one to one even if they are set up like that. Suppose the government came up with an appropriate tax credits for Apple that replicates/approximates this agreement. The flow is still employees -> state -> Apple. In my opinion, this is much more transparent and simpler to implement than negotiating a bespoke agreement. Personally, I think this is a great job by the state of North Carolina and now would consider moving there as the government seems like they have some aptitude.
I agree that a video can provide more context than text does. However, most videos I have received as bug reports in the past failed to do that. I just saw the user doing random stuff leading to random events. I'd say that often the most important thing to have is actually not a well-written bug report or a well-made video, but rather having access to the user's settings file and logs (if that exists for the application), as they often contain the explanation of why you don't see what the user sees.
They don't have two listings though. They list the prices of all sellers in one item, with the lowest price as the default.
This reminds me of the current influx of software guys into the microcontroller space. Arduino's, pi's and the like. You have these super knowledgeable people who are unable to execute the electronics side of their project, so now we have a huge market of things abstracted up to their level (i.e. LEDs with all the necessary electronics already embed, just call the address and go).

This isn't even just a hobbyist phenomena. Electronics design itself is becoming more and more "turn key hardware", where you just slap chips on a board, string them together, then get chugging on the software.
IIRC, Yahoo didn't have search tech until they bought Inktomi. They outsourced their search to Inktomi in the 90s, then to Google in 2000. It was only after Yahoo bought Inktomi that they brought it in house (can't remember timeline of switching off Google).

Yahoo was also a major shareholder in Google because of those agreements/investments and cross-licensing Overture patents.

Your lower bar is reasonable (though hard to quantify), but that's not what Tesla is promising and marketing when they say L5. They can't say L5 and then qualify it with "works only vast majority of the time", at which point it's no longer L5.

It seems like your bar is lower for Tesla (you're okay if it doesn't work always, yet you consider it true self driving), but extremely high for Waymo - who are actually fully driverless - just because it's geofenced. Sounds like you're not applying the same standards to both.
