I made a simple web app for merchants/small businesses who use Shopify Lite Plan and want to have a simple/minimal storefront.

I built this initially for my wife. She owns two online stores in Shopify. With her Lite plan, she only pays $9/month/store versus the Basic plan for $29/month/store. Since the Lite plan doesn't include an online store, TinyStore allows merchants to have one.

The app is still new. I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
Exactly. I discovered this podcast app called https://anchor.fm/ and it makes the whole process super easy. With a couple of taps I can record, add background music and share on all platforms.
I've looked for something like this in the past, and this looks really cool, but I don't see why this has to be a subscription

The executable format is not the hard part of cross platform executable. It's pretty neat that Cosmopolitan has managed to include a cross platform loader within the executable itself, but the real magic is a cross platform standard library.
Actually, I could not find a date.

Adams was born in 1902 and Kaufmann in 1885. Zone System was "formulated" in 1930 when Kaufmann would have been 45. Kaufmann was said to be quite brilliant at early age and so it is possible or even likely that the device predates Zone System, but not by all that much (probably 2 decades at most).

Hi, I ran a Clickhouse server in production at non-trivial scale for storage and query of application logs (semi-structured JSON documents).

In our case we were consuming from a kafka topic which was the source of truth, so we opted not to use Clickhouse's built-in write replication and instead manually sharded and wrote to each replica independently (this meant replicas weren't always in perfect sync for brand-new data, but in practice this was acceptable).

The distributed query side still worked perfectly despite this weird setup, even when we were doing weird things like re-sharding or taking some replicas down for one reason or another.

I can't speak to backups as, once again, we were considering the kafka stream the source of truth and not the clickhouse datastore. We archived the data directly out of kafka, in a format more suitable to long term archival instead of live query.

My experience with Clickhouse was that the core primitives were rock solid, but you were often on shaky ground when using more niche features - we encountered crashes when trying to use bloom filters for text search, for example.

The performance of Clickhouse absolutely blew me away. It could read, filter and aggregate results as fast as the underlying disks could serve it data. I'll point out though that while Clickhouse is very good at what it does, it puts a lot of onus on the person designing the schema and writing the query to make sure it does it in the right way. In our case this worked well because we only had a small number of "shapes" of query we needed to serve, and we had a CLI tool that translated the user's query written in a simple DSL (really just a key-matches-value filter expression) into the SQL that would result in an efficient query on clickhouse's end. But for more flexibility-demanding workloads this could be a major issue as you need to know the system pretty well to write good queries.
Kangaroos and Training Neural Networks (1994)
I see this in B2B marketing all the time when it's obvious that customers are doing an apples to oranges comparison when it comes to your products and those of a certain competitor. Example: your competitor sells basic desktop accounting software targeting small businesses while you target large corporations with a complex SaaS. You have to acknowledge the customer's comparison and you can even suggest your competitor's product to customers because those are customers that you cannot service anyways.
Microsoft Investigated Bill Gates Before He Left the Board (Report)
Thanks for the sources. Unfortunately [2] won't load for me, claiming "too many requests".

Things I would look for in the data would be, at least:

- Are there substantial differences in the restrictions? If the least stringent rule is "wear masks in many public spaces", and the most stringent rule is "weak masks in slightly more public spaces", that wouldn't be substantial. Substantial differences would include actual lockdowns/curfews/closure of non-essential business. A strict limit of "one customer per N square meters of shop space" might also be substantial, if N is large enough.

- Are compliance and enforcement taken into account?

- (Pointed out by another poster:) Is population density taken into account?

I might. But then again, if a renegade software developer on Twitter claims to overturn the medical community's consensus in one chart, I might not.
> You literally can't close the American brder. As a strict lower bound (based on CBP encounters) 3000 people walk through the desert or jump the fence every day, and statistically many of them have Covid. This is a constant source term to the growth equation that precludes a Melbourne solution, even if the borders were officially closed and optimal lockdowns.

That doesn’t sound like a long-term problem given the imminent rise of drone patrols, and is likely short term correctable by bolstering security along the US southern border. Like many aspects of the US’ abject failure in managing the pandemic, this seems like a “lack of political will” problem more than anything else.

That is exactly how third party product comparisons and reviews works though. I don't think the world would be worse of if all product discoverability happened in such third party environments.
Sorry if I did not explain it well, TAS does not mean just small helpful enhancements.

In a TAS, the game is being played by the computer using a series of pre-programmed inputs. The fun in TASing is creating the most optimized set of inputs that completes the game in the shortest amount of time. There are often precise one-frame tricks or inputs that would not be possible for a human to perform but can be done easily when you can fully control what happens on each individual frame of gameplay.

Mixing TAS and non-TAS runs doesn't make much sense as humans would never be able to compete.

> A sysv-init script is just edited in the right place and you are done.

If you never intended to update the package, that owns the sysv-init script, that is.

If you do, you will find out at update time, that you have to manually play with 3-way diff and hope, that the init script didn't change too much. You are never done.

With systemd, you have an override, you don't change the original unit. It will update cleanly.

Sure, if a marketer is truly trying to help the consumer make informed decisions -- making an earnest attempt to help interested consumers find the product/service that's right for them -- then they'd be good, not evil.

This is, if a marketer:

1. is truly trying to help the target make the best decision, including going with a competitor or simply not buying anything;

2. won't even try to sink the target's attention unless they have good, informed reason to believe that the totality of their offer (including relevant costs, time, and effort) is expectedly a net positive for the target;

then they'd be good and not-evil.

That said, advertisers who seek to push products indiscriminately would be evil. The allegorical used-car-salesman who pushes a vehicle that they know to be worth less than they make it out to be, or seeks to trick the buyer into spending way more than they need to, is harming their target for their own self-interest; seems like simple predation.

That said, not all marketing is simple predation. For example, some offers are for legitimately useful products that a non-trivial portion of the target-audience could quite plausibly benefit from buying. Such marketing can have elements of good mixed into it, too.

Standardization would allow canal operators to build better and safer tooling around the strait, allowing for more slack and so on.

The alternative is simply to continue as it is, with ship builders squeezing every inch just because they can, and it becomes a matter of if, not when, another EverGiven happens.
This is cool! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I didn't know that and had never tried netflix until your comment just now. First I tried with Firefox, then with Chrome UAs, and tried importing a libwidevine.so. Nothing works, and Netflix says the error is a missing CDM component.

I suppose that's better that it doesn't work. I don't think Netflix / Spotify would be cool with that. It's a little disappointing to not me able to test out Netflix on this, but less risky :P ;) xx

Go confronts people with the delta between what people think they want and what they actually need.

It’s a language for getting things done. It isn’t for language buffs. And that is a huge plus for me.
If the chance of it happening is that small, isn't it fair to also consider the probability that we live in a universe without objective reality and/or where a god or gods intentionally interfere with random occurrences such as RNG outputs?

I would put this at better than 1/10^22. If you claimed that your religion was real and showed me an incontrovertible 'miracle' which had a chance of less than 1/10^20 of occurring by chance, I think I would accept your claim.
Super interesting! We're doing something similar with Encore [1], but instead of building a whole new language we let you program using Go. Looking forward to see where this goes :)

Ah yes, the good old "my anecdote trumps science" post on Hacker News. If this happens on Hacker News, no wonder the rest of the world is even worse.

"Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the latest evidence were conducted for this study. Data from 37 studies on ischemic heart disease covering more than 768 000 participants and 22 studies on stroke covering more than 839 000 participants were synthesized. The study covered global, regional and national levels, and was based on data from more than 2300 surveys collected in 154 countries from 1970-2018."

The study has nothing to do with sitting in an office, despite what you claim.
Channels are also hardly foolproof. You need to internalize the (non-obvious) channel axioms[1], and there are many other pitfalls and annoyances like:

- Needing to determine ownership of closable objects passed across channels.

- Defining what special token (or OOB signaling mechanism) is used for marking end of data.

- Synchronizing who is closing the channel

Go channels are quite painful to use and often a simple lock would do better. This write-up[2] summarizes the issues with them quite nicely:

The lottery isn't the point, it's a side effect. The network needs consensus on what transactions have happened and which haven't. The main difficulty in getting this when you can't trust the nodes that someone can just spin up an arbitrary number of nodes to overwhelm the consensus, if the consensus just goes by majority vote. If you want to prevent this you need to tie the consensus to something which is scarce, which is what proof of work does. As a side effect of how this is implemented, it becomes a lottery.

If you implement proof of stake, for example (where the scarce resource becomes the currency of the network itself, which is a lot trickier to implement and especially quite hard to bootstrap from nothing because in the early days of a currency there's going to be only a few people owning it), then there's no need for the reward process to be a lottery (though it still can be).
> Bad marketing, either the evil, manipulative kind or the well-intentioned, but poor-performing kind, tends to leave a more memorable impression than the good, effective varieties.

What? The whole point of marketing is to memorable and leave an impression, thats what good effective marketing does. I dunno what the article is even trying to say.
Internet Voting Is Still Inherently Insecure
In my experience there is a bit of a learning curve until you understand how each of the parts fit together and how to optimize for your use case. ZooKeeper indeed was one of those pain points, but once you get it stable there is practically no need to touch it.

I found the tips in the docs on optimizing ZK really helpful [1].

Anoter mistake we did early on with ZooKeeper, that caused us a lot of pain was running it with network attached disks (we ran ClickHouse+ZK in the cloud). Once we switched to local disks, 99% problems disappeared.

Yes, in the big picture. IANAS ("...not a Sociologist"), but there seems to be an unspoken social rule that "the usual" sexual misbehaviors of an alpha male are pretty much ignored, so long as (1) his wife quietly tolerates them, and (2) no other alpha wants them aired. In this case - Mrs. Gates' filing for divorce made him fair game. Hence the recent deluge of stories about Mr. Gates' (seemingly) many and varied transgressions, stretching back decades.

(I could speculate that this social rule is due to too many romantic dreamers not wanting their fantasies spoiled, other alphas and alpha wanna-be's not wanting "the usual" perks of that status lost, etc. But again, IANAS:)
Marketing-led growth with Outbound Fury
Commenters here who are dying on this hill of “all marketing is evil” are forgetting that virtually all aspects of communicating _who_ created _what_ is a form of marketing being intentionally used by the creator. Does your laptop sport a logo? Does your favorite local coffee shop have a sign on its front door? Does your food come in hip colors with interesting typeface?

All of this is marketing and branding. When the author mentions the 9990 exposures to marketing, he’s likely referring to these that we all consciously rarely register or see. But it’s still marketing. Someone was probably paid to craft it.

I’m not gonna die on the hill of “marketing isn’t evil”; it absolutely can be. I’d argue though that marketing is more often than not an extension of the company’s ethos. If you find some piece of marketing to be questionable or evil, let that be a reflection on the company more than the practice of marketing.

After all, marketing is little more than paid, thoughtful, intentional opinion-sharing. Y’all are just marketing your anti-marketing sentiments for free.
Crypto's value is based on hypothetical future adoption. Since people believe Musk is a great influencer of future-adoption, his tweets make the market.
Funny, I was thinking of a very similar idea. I don't care much about most things, and I have a huge problem choosing or making up my mind. Why not crowdsource it?

I'm surprised people would pay you for it, but maybe not that surprised if you give them more control over yourself.

Like doing something they say, wearing a dumb T-Shirt they send or recording yourself shouting something in a crowd (actually, there were people on Fiverr doing this already, just not in an embarrassing way).
I wonder what happened in Go there.
I never understood how anyone can be fine with dynamic build dependencies?

Each and every build tool should be version pinned so that two build runs today and 4 years ago produce the same (hex neutral) executable.

Otherwise debugging issues becomes a nightmare...
This isn't teenagers, it's adult men. It is situations where if they showed full understanding and said "I don't want it to show scantily clad teenagers to me as I have a lot of loud opinions about sex and sin but I can't stop looking at them so it keeps sending them" it would be just as funny.

It's not the complaint, it's the moralizing combined with the complaint about self selected content.

If they weren't moralizing then yeah, that's just a report of a bad experience with the algorithm. Those don't go viral.
> I make slightly above 100k in Australia, it's a bit tight with the housing situation and cost of living but it's liveable

100k USD (So ~130k AUD)? Even if that's 100k AUD, it's a bit odd to hear that it's "tight" when you're on 100k. I didn't think Aussie's COL was that high.
Discrediting work being done by others in the realm of self driving cars is rarely a good segway for introducing a company that automates checkout-free stores powered by machine learning / image recognition (which the articles builds up to). Sure, the developments have been quite disappointing for the cars but that's a way bigger challenge that currently has examples running. And what is the source of that disappointment? "X said it should be there in 3 years and it's not so it's a fail", really? That strikes me as dismissive and at best counter productive. Marketing and developping are two different things, don't use the shortcomings of the former to discredit the latter. It doesn't help anyone, especially new people joining the field.

> "The deep learning hype is now deflating pretty strongly too, with even the biggest "enthusiasts" now admitting that things ain't as rosy as they were hoping."

This comes out as bad faith, so a reference would be needed... Andrew NG was pointing at the use of wrong/bad data, and not the models or approach per se...

So yeah, crapping on a trendy topic (deep learning) to market your venture that ironically itself uses that trendy topic (i quote "artificial intelligence"), is at best totally uncool...
With all due respect but why not changing the software ecosystem? Is enterprise Java the pinnacle of SW engineering? Last time I checked it seemed to me that it's share is being eaten away slowly but steadily from Golang which is deemed to be a far better option for modern cloud-based enterprise apps. Not to mention the significantly better (aka simpler) programming model with all the benefits that it brings. Also, younger devs are shying away from the language and the platform -and this is far deeper than just a generational thing.

So to me, if I were invested in JVM (I'm not), a language that looks to bridge JVM with microservices/cloud would be great news. But instead I only see pushback from Java community. And this is not the first time I see it as well. Same exact behavior to functional efforts such as Scala or anything functional really. A kind of "we're fine we don't need anything new" which I cannot understand.

How to use RabbitMQ in service integration
Thank you. I don't know. I'll have to figure it out. I'm taking a break from coding on this from now, to spend some time on marketing. I have this piece of tech, and not much idea who to sell to, or how to reach out to them. So far the only success I've had is with people reaching out to me. "Blind luck" in bound ;p:) xx
It's in keeping with the German influences on the school system, I think, since that's where the "baito" is most likely to come up.
Absolutely. That's why I said price/performance might be the best. Also MapD (nowadays OmniSci) is way faster.... but it would cost you a couple of bodies probably to run on GPUs :)
Rust has to be one of the least expressive languages ever made, so that’s a pretty weird one to group along with other actual expressive languages. That’s not a full-on dismissal of Rust, since expressivity isn’t its main goal.

Also, type system ‘soundness’ is a pretty empty desire. It’s easy to create a type system that is formally sound, yet not useful. This is the same argument as ‘type correctness.’ Java programs were ‘type correct’ before Java had generics, and the type system was extremely limited.

So types are an inherently meaningless goal, because types can mean so many things.
Maybe but I think that’s a separate issue that’s going to have to be hashed out in court and in legislation. Nobody would buy Apple hardware if those tools didn’t exist so in some sense they’ve already been extremely well compensated for the work they put into them.
I still have my 2 mc^2 purses. Well just the parts. I also convinced my coworkers to order additional purses for a future project. They liked them so much they decided to keep them. And they were $8 so it’s not like I couldn’t order more. Than the price shot up to $40-$50 the following week!
Are you aware of pure-JS in-browser VNC protocol implementations such as http://guacamole.apache.org/ ? This works over websockets, so even encryption is covered. On the server side, run a Xvnc, fullscreen chrome without window manager or decorations. As the OP said, this should give superiour performance, responsiveness and features. And no need for a client side browser plugin.

Another thing you could look into is https://www.brow.sh/ -- they also have a pretty good performance and feature coverage. Maybe there's something your project can learn from them :-)
Go's weak type system encourages use of dynamic type ops (such as casting interface{}, etc) and obviously the compiler is out of the loop at compile time so it can't help.
Exactly!! :P ;) xx I need to add that meme to the page :p :)xx
Of course you need to control for other factors. I’d you don’t all you’d prove is that overweight and unhealthy people have more health problems. Which would not be a useful study.
I'm very happy to see SOAP supported.... Well no, not happy, but... It's expected in many of the areas where I work.

It's nice to see that I can easily create a SOAP webservice, without Java or .Net, but that there's anything wrong with those two languages.
Yeah I really struggled to find anything about it, but it's a term I've used with people here... reaching out to ask some friends if maybe I got the term wrong.
I think a framework on an existing language would be a much choice instead of learning a totally new language just for this.
