> This kills my back button. What are you storing in the URL?

The URL stores the system rule - the idea being that you can share it. The URL changes over time as you play because playing edits the system rule.

J and K toggle down and up the 'dynamism' in the system. It's semi-random in the sense that you can't control what new system you get when you press J or K, but you will get a system that has either less or more dynamism than the current system. Dynamism is a property of the system - roughly how often 'things change' per the system rule. EG a conditional in the system rule that necessitates an off cell becoming an on cell is a 'thing changing'.

Doesn't Australia have just as long a history as anywhere else though? It seems to me people just aren't all that interested in pre-settlement history. The same goes for a lot of settler-colonial nations.

It’s double edged so maybe not. I think if I needed to split wood I’d want a hatchet.

With the hiking I like to do, I hike all day, boil water for food with a canister stove, and pass out. So I optimize for weight - less weight = more miles (and is much more comfortable).
Can you elaborate on what you mean by a boundary? You mean logging the interface between two services or modules?
Yugabyte lifts the complete top query layer from Postgres and swaps the back end for RAFT per table. It definitely qualifies.
There's a really interesting comment in the Slashdot discussion. It suggests this is really just Florida's attempt to reassure federal courts that this should be handled internally in the state of Florida. (Jones has filed a civil lawsuit in federal court, and the discovery process for a civil lawsuit would be much more revealing than a state-of-Florida whistleblower investigation.)

I used to love browsing McMaster-Carr but pretty quickly realized there is nothing worth buying as a consumer. Anything remotely practical for personal use is cheaper on Amazon.
March 2020, but even that seems quite late for a term that must have peaked in 2005.
You’re totally correct about the noise, however I actually use a commercial all-metal box fan to ventilate my apartment and it’s really awesome.

I only run it at night, and I put it in a window in another room, facing out with some material around it to make a snug fit. The result is a steady breeze coming in the bedroom windows at night and a muted hum from the other room. It makes regular plastic box fans look like a joke. It easily moves 10x the air on low as a plastic one on high.

This approach greatly reduces the number of nights we need to use the AC in early summer/early fall in NYC, when it’s warm but not so humid as in July and August. I’ve tried the same thing with a plastic fan and it’s way less effective...we can come home to a hot stuffy apartment on a Sunday night after a weekend away and have it totally comfortable inside in a matter of minutes.
> It should show reviews only for the specific configuration chosen.

Amen brother. Other review issues could be attributed to Amazon playing catch-up but this crappery is clearly by design.
Gifts are tax free for everyone but the 0.1%ers.

It has nothing to do with income tax, since it was not income for work rendered - it was a gift.
Big win? I didn't say that. Your original citation was an analysis of studies that actually said "more research is necessary", yet you claimed it as proof that it doesn't work. It doesn't work like that.

Novamin is caught in a classic consumer product study quagmire. It's a proprietary, IP-wrapped solution. This leaves extraordinarily few people with an interest in proving its efficacy. Who is going to pay to study it? And the answer is that only people with a strong financial interest in its effectiveness are willing to study it, and those studies have little credibility due to bias.

The vast majority of consumer products you use have no peer reviewed research behind them for the same reason.

But we know its method of function, and the theory behind its operation. People using the product often find reduced sensitivity (I went from really bad sensitivity to no sensitivity) and a whitening effect. Eh, good enough for me.

And it's interesting that this submission is about a product that has a virtually identical method of operation - calcium and phosphorous ions.
With the first commit being the specific commit from the PostgreSQL repo which they base their work on, i.e. that they forked from.
I haven't had any issues with orders still in progress, but Amazon has replaced/allowed me to return a $1200 tv that was 6 months old after it randomly stopped working/broke after moving apartments. They sent someone out and picked it up--which I seriously doubt BestBuy or NewEgg would have been willing to do.

I had a similar issue to what you describe ordering a vintage item on Etsy and the tracking info provided was fake and delivered to a different address. That was a huge hassle to prove and get refunded for.
There’s probably a lot of money for the first person who figures out how to solve this problem instead of complaining about evil uncaring business owners.

Costco kinda figured it out, by charging a membership fee they got rid of most low LTV customers from the get-go. Unfortunately, their generous refund policy still got hacked by bad actors which is why they have a lot of restrictions around returning electronics. (People were returning laptops after a year of use just to upgrade). This is why we can’t have nice things.

source: I worked at Costco before they had restrictions on their electronics return policy, when they bragged about accepting returns on anything for any reason… before the cost of doing so became prohibitively high.

LTV refunding like Amazon is doing is a huge leap forward that lets every business kind of act like Costco.

> If you can do that to a dog, it seems trivial to extend to humans.

Nothing about taking treatments that work in one species and transferring them to another is trivial. You really can’t even assume that it would remain effective. Every single failed clinical trial of a drug was back up by previous animal studies showing efficacy, but it’s just not guaranteed to translate.
For certain things this is a good idea, but at some point you step into “mall ninja” territory.
Citus Data enables scale out, while also being a pure extension. That means you can upgrade Postgres like normal to the latest point release using whatever normal upgrade process you want (e.g. OS packages).

It has worked for a long time without the need for Postgres 12. However, the new APIs introduced in v12 did enable us to offer columnar compression as an option, which complements a lot of scale-out use cases.

See: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2021/03/06/citus-10-columnar-...

I believe using the extension facilities of Postgres is far superior to a fork in the medium to long term.

(Disclaimer: I work for Citus, and on columnar compression.)
They don't. I fail to see how that's surprising given that straight people don't fit either.
I just subbed recently, and it has seemed more in line with the “roots” to me, based on what comes up in my feed.
I instinctively try to make the least bald assumption possible. Of course, as we exercise unconstrained imagination, we could imagine a ghost being so mighty it would materialize beautiful LaTeX documents right on our hard drives manipulating magnetic particles on them. Nevertheless, if I forget about the doubt in ghosts existing at all for sake of fun or whatever, the next doubt I have is they can manipulate the matters of material world with ease and precision - even if they could manifest a blow of a wind it would probably be hard for them to manipulate it precisely enough to produce continuous ineligible speech.
Ask HN: How does big apps/platform manage between ORM vs. Stored procedures?
I wanted to ask how does big app like (Uber/slack) or any other for that matter or platforms like github who use Ruby/Python/C#/Java handle CRUD operations at scale with ORM or Stored procedures.

Where do you draw the line when to use SP's or ORM?
Considering not everyone understands database in depth and can write performant queries or SP's.

I know its very simple view and probably tons patterns (like CQRS) and infrastructure/serverless/geo-replicated architecture might be use behind the scene.

Have you ever worked on such systems where both ORM and SP's are used and how do they keep logic not fragmented at multiple places at scale?

TLDR; How highly scalable apps manage DB interactions in code vs handwritten SQL?
So, limiting research to projects small enough for a single individual, then? Because similar situations will and do arise in industrial research groups.

Number one was a highly offensive “joke” minimizing a truly serious problem that was made to a number of journalists to whom it definitely wasn’t funny.

"last year, China’s Communist Party had some 20 million part-time volunteers, many of them students, and 2 million paid commentators at its disposal to steer conversation online."

The scale of this is incredible. For me it's worrying because of how impressionable and plain stupid the average social media user is.

On reddit the bar for comments is extremely low, blantaly false information gains traction if it's framed correctly.

About 10% of my Instagram stories (~20-30 age range) are people posting screenshots of viral Twitter posts, many of these posts could easy be catagorized as propoganda and often contain misleading or outright false facts.
yeah, i don't mean to say that no commercial-grade products are suitable for home use, just that you need to be a lot more careful if you're buying products for a use they aren't intended for. if you buy a product designed for home use, you can be reasonably sure that it will work in a home setting if you buy a commercial-grade product, you just need to pay close attention to what trade-offs have been made that might be a poor fit for home usage.

it's almost always a good idea to buy the professional-grade items you've used at work and know are awesome, it's almost never a good idea to buy a professional-grade item sight-unseen unless you know there's a local used market for it.
I actually had almost the same issue ordering a mattress from Amazon. The seller had created a tracking number so the order was showing as "shipped" even though there hadn't been any movement ever, which meant I couldn't cancel the order without escalating about 5 times to different service reps.
I'll say all Quote Investigator articles are of high-quality by the fact they do an extensive literature research citing all their found sources in the process. This alone puts it above most web articles I read. Moreover the general theme of the site, that is tracing quotations, on its own makes it stand out as not only it isn't a simple task but also a quirky and interesting subject. Finally this specific quote and the found texts are probably relevant to many in this forum and that's why all comments are around this.

Don't paint amazon subscribers as victims here. I am entirely satisfied of the time saved and the cost of Amazon products I buy.

The yelling comes from the Amazon sellers side, not from the customers.

There is plenty of competition for me to shop around, and if there are none, I'd rather buy from Amazon as I trust that they reduce the costs , fees and taxes effectively.

I would argue that the government should do less and not more. If they really want competition to grow, they could stop charging capital gains on every item a seller flip.

For example, when I was selling on Ebay, after the platform fees, the shipping fees, and the government taxes, it's just not worth it to enter the sector as a small guy.

Because our political ideals don't operate that way. It's the same as there being a myriad of Chinese companies listed on US stock exchanges, but few (if any) American companies being listed on Chinese exchanges because they forbid it.
Only mentioned a few times here, but I think Amazon's "moat" is actually their customer service.

It's the only reason I'm still strongly with them.

I'd pay higher prices elsewhere for "local" or "indie" or whatever ... but have been stung so many times that I return to Amazon.

I'm p!ssed off about that, as I recognise Amazon as the monopoly, but don't take kindly either to get ripped off elsewhere.

Personally, yes, a monopoly is in the house. But the rest of retail has to up their game.

If Amazon get broken up, which causes their prices to rise, which helps competition. That competition will still need to "customer serve" as well as Amazon for me to consider them.

As with all software engineering, it’s all about trade offs and context.

That performant code that you wrote maybe at the expense of readability? It could very well become bad code when you leave the company and it falls to a junior engineer to modify it to fit some changing business requirement. Or, there’s a bug in the code and the amount of time it takes to fix it is a direct function of how quickly and completely that junior engineer can understand the code.

For me, the hard part is knowing when and how to make that trade off. I’ve definitely erred on both sides often enough.
You can suggest you'd accept the "lower" wage in return for some other options: more flexible hours, more vacation (paid or unpaid), access to an electric car charger, etc. Whatever makes sense for you. This allows both sides to gracefully accept the trade.
Fans - did some work on a 19 inch rack mountable system. Had four I think 12,000 RPM fans.

The fans were about 1 inch on a side but between them they sounded like a fully loaded 747 spinning up.
And a place like Amazon that sends out lots of orders will get a good idea of where the risks are high and where they are low. They know that of the hundreds of packages they have shipped us none have gone missing, it would be a waste of money to insure things they are sending us.

They even screwed up and shipped a cancelled order, I was on the other side of the world when I saw the e-mail and by the time they were satisfied I really was me their attempt to intercept the package failed. $500 worth of stuff sat on our front porch for 10 days and was still there when we got back. (We live in a low-crime area and our front porch makes it basically impossible to see a package from the street unless it's large. A porch pirate would have to come to within 10' of the door to see most things, they'll go elsewhere where they don't have to be so obvious.)
The commercial displays are also awfully expensive.

Sure. We as a country will always apply our military where are interests are at stake, there is no action taken just for human rights. It isn’t just the politicians, it’s the people who elect them that ultimately feel that way, the politicians are just acting this way so they don’t get unelected.

On the bright side, acting in self interest means we shouldn’t get involved in any messes either, and supporting intrinsically unstable authoritarian governments doesn’t make much sense either. There is definitely some overlap between doing the right thing and dong the thing that serves your interests the most.

This is basically the reason that I've continued to purchase electronics in-store despite generally being (slightly) cheaper to buy on Amazon: when I buy it from Best Buy/REI/etc., I can pick the box with the factory seal, and if necessary even open it up in store (after paying for it) to confirm that said item is in the box.
A sentence I never thought I'd say: Gee, that ejector seat doesn't look very comfortable.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it feels fine even if you sit in it long periods of time. However, I'm sure that it only comes in one size, that size being the right size to pilot a plane with an ejector seat. Anyone too big or small wasn't considered in its design because they'd never make it into the relevant flight program to begin with.

My point is, consumer objects have to be designed a bit more inclusively than that, to be able to sell to a wider range of buyers. That big Hobart mixer is in the same boat: It's designed for people who wouldn't have gotten that bakery job if they couldn't work with a large, heavy piece of kitchen equipment.

Boundaries between anything. I recently was dealing with an issue in a Jenkins pipeline, where I didn't realise that state was being serialized to string form between job stages until I explicitly logged it out. The thing that was a list in the previous stage was suddenly a string, but then Groovy would happily accept the join method on a string because it's still an iterable. Auuugh.
Amen to that too. That's probably the most complicated part of being a manager or tech lead. You have those amazing junior-almost-senior engineers that could be way more productive and yet deliver better code, purely by "doing less", but the over-engineering gets in the way. You know they could be top-contributors, so you don't want them to leave. But at the same time it's very tiring!

I noticed that they put a lot of their self-worth in the sophistication of their code, so it's difficult to criticise without making them feel bad. You need alternative methods of getting them to "see the light" and write code that's more understandable and maintainable by others.

Similarly, I've been writing respectable, sophisticated software for decades but I'm fairly certain that my most widely used piece of software, by a wide margin, is a mildly pornographic app (http://driftwheeler.com)

It's ironic, and there is a difficult lesson to be learned from this reality.

Karl Racine is going after Amazon? Interesting.

Racine is the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. As a U.S. Attorney, he has the authority to enforce Federal law. His is a unique position. All other U.S. Attorneys are appointed by the President via the Attorney General. He's an elected official.

(This comes from the unique status of Washington, D.C. as a creature of Congress, and the law that gives D.C. some self-governing power. D.C. was run directly by Congress until the 1970s, and residents could not vote for anything. Racine considered prosecuting Trump after the Jan. 6 riots. He could have done that and Trump could not have fired him.)

> if we are talking about getting money to people who need it

That's not what UBI does. UBI gives money to everybody whether they need it or not. Sure, for some of them it will be "life changing", but for many it won't. So UBI is very inefficient at getting money to people who need it.

Rich people, in addition to paying people directly for goods and services, which those people would not produce in the first place if they didn't need the money they can sell them for (so paying them is directly giving them money they need), can (and many do) donate to charities that do a much better job than the government does of figuring out who actually needs the things they provide.
