Medical use notwithstanding, people who use cannabis on a daily basis will probably tend to produce and pursue bad ideas. I've been there when I was younger.

That state of mind is like turning the temperature up on the generative function in the mind. Lots of exciting, weird shit reveals itself to your conscious perception. On the other hand, our brains probably evolved to favor adaptive ideation. If that system's filters are always tweaked or turned off, then eventually the ideation will be misaligned with the "sober" environment.
Typically there is a big distinction when it comes to collation (e.g unicode collation algorithm)

I'm not a unicode expert, but normalization is more about what characters are available in unicode, not the specific language, especially characters which are used in multiple languages (which i assume includes ô).
I got into programming in 2000 and right when I did Tim Perdue wrote a very important article comparing MySQL and Postgres. He concluded that Postgres was the better database.

[edit] Thanks to DocTomoe for finding this:

https://phpbuilder.com/mysql-and-postgresql-compared/

Some of the discussion of the article survives:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/39635C4A.1A4486D9%40al...

The article was a very big deal at the time, because it was so well researched and so devastating for MySQL.

I figured that article was the death knell for MySQL, but then MySQL surprised me by just going and going and going. It was helped along back then by having a very close relationship with the PHP language. Nowadays, you can use any database you want with PHP, but in 2000 PHP was very much biased in favor of MySQL, and every article written about PHP was written with the assumption you'd be using MySQL as the database. I suspect that MySQL would have died except for the massive life support it got from PHP during those years.

The moral I take from all of this is that sometimes you can have two technologies, and one is clearly better, yet the one that is clearly better can remain under-utilized for 21 straight years.

I know a bunch of HN people will now show up and defend MySQL, or defend a lazy style of programming that accepts defaults even when that means using a poor cousin of something good. But we should stop for a moment and really think about the implications of this. Because it really is remarkable that people have known of the superiority of Postgres for 21 years and yet people still use MySQL.
I was mostly referring to the millions (billions?) of dollars getting poured into Python library development by tech companies. With the effect that Python stays relevant and has a thriving library ecosystem. Maybe I'm wrong and Julia is just that good that it doesn't matter - I guess time will tell.

The subtle difference between wisdom and manipulation: "Repeat after me: you shall inquire and criticize all thoughts" vs "Repeat after me: you shall retract trust from all thoughts" - instil activity or instil passivity.

Edit: silent downvoting snipers confirm the stated idea (the nuance being productive vs depaupering).
that's the exact argument that I've heard in the 90's... nothing has changed :)
> I completely agree with you. If they are willing to publicly trash a former employer and colleagues, what would stop them from trashing me as a new employer?

I mean, presumably your confidence in being a good employer? People don't decide to trash talk their previous employers at random, right? Surely there is some cause-and-effect involved.
Note the word "so-called". And note the use of quotes citing the OP.

This is a very serious discussion.

On a side note, where is that "democratic mandate" of which you speak? Been looking for a while and can't seem to find it.
I coined it initially for configuration management, but... "Keep accidental an intentional identity apart".

By that I try to convey that just because two things look the same doesn't mean that they are by necessity the same. So if it is a case of "happens to look the same", keep things separate, but if they're fundamentally linked, keep only one copy and reference it.

In terms of code, I think that means "repeat the codepath if the two copies just happen to look the same today, but are not necessarily going to do so in the future" and "if the code paths are always going to be identical, make a function/procedure". That can probably e extended to subclassing as well.
If people genuinely thought this, there could be a market where people pay money to be advertised to or targeted towards.

In many ways this is what trade magazines are/were, but the absence of a general market for such generalised interest is so absent its the kind of witness evidence that is deafening in its silence.
They didn’t spoof trades. They placed orders without the intent of trading anything.

> The order finds that, from at least 2008 through 2016, JPM, through numerous traders on its precious metals and Treasuries trading desks, including the heads of both desks, placed hundreds of thousands of orders to buy or sell certain gold, silver, platinum, palladium, Treasury note, and Treasury bond futures contracts with the intent to cancel those orders prior to execution.
Some of the developers working on Firefox have told me that they are working on it. They've been taking their time to get it done, but the issues this depend on are showing progress. It should come eventually.

I'm hoping not to have to bundle things because it might be easier for users to report bugs that way, but if I have to I'll do it. esbuild looks nicely documented :)
Compile time seems like an odd thing for you to mention here. I don't know if your favorite language is similarly adequate, but I know it compiles way more slowly.

But generally the time to analyze a constexpr initializer expression, even of even a pretty substantial grammar, will generally be pretty negligible, particularly given that it need not appear in a header file.
Yes - you're thinking of Navinder Sarao, the so-called 'Hound of Hounslow', held at least partly responsible for the 2010 flash crash.
>I mean, it is not like all "real" Rus people packed their bags and left for Moscow at some moment in time and then some "unrelated" people set shop in Kyiv bringing funny not-a-true-language with them. Obviously, Ukrainians are direct descendants of people who inhabited that part of Rus.

No. The area got depopulated by Mongols and largely stayed that way due to Crimean Tatars until Grand Duchy of Lithuania started the "Reconquista" in the modern West and Central Ukraine and later Grand Duchy of Moscow pushed south too with it culminating in the Russian Empire completely pushing Crimean Tatars out and taking over most of that territory, and it was gradually repopulated during that process with the Central and East Ukraine mostly with people migrating from Russia. As a result the "funny not-a-true-language" which is very close to the language of Russian peasants, and 100+ years ago Ukranian cities were speaking mostly Russian while villages - Ukranian. I'm half Ukranian myself and watch some modern Ukranian TV including in Ukranian, and i fail to see it as a separate language.

>The norther part of Rus escaped the Mongol devastation because if was unimportant backwater. There was nothing there to "interrupt".

No. The Mongols were generally stopped by forests, mountains and seas. In this case it was forest. Calling Novgorod in particular "unimportant backwater" is strange to say the least.

>Rurik is a legendary figure. Who are these people who are "still around" claiming to be Rurik bloodline? Sound funny as hell.

Rurik was in the 2nd half of 9th century. There are a lot of unknown about him. His descendants are pretty known though. Do you doubt the history of Vladimir the Great, a great grandson of Rurik? I mean do you doubt the whole dynasty or only starting from specific place? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurik_dynasty (more in Russian https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D1%8E%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BA...)

And there is nothing surprising in the dukes/tzars bloodline of 11 centuries recorded length - even for my minor aristocracy family (from Grand Duchy of Lithuania) the oldest documents i've seen so far are from the late 13xx and that is without digging deep into the family archive :)

No, you’re still not getting it. My example of old people with a pre-existing condition is just a placeholder for anyone who develops symptoms (of any kind or origin) enough to warrant a hospital visit, through which I point out the inconsistency of your moral positioning by contrasting it with your supposed belief that unvaccinated people are to blame for a hospital’s lack of capacity.

Feel free to blame whomever you choose, it’s not my problem. However, I will point out that the flaw in your car analogy comes when you realize that choosing to drive whilst inebriated (or without paying full attention to the road for whatever reason) is a conscious choice, whereas a carrier of the virus is an unwitting participant.
Thanks for putting the work in! This is really interesting; you might be on to something. I hope someone decides to cover this in a long-form article.

Edit: The most interesting thing is comparing your comment with all of the others on this thread. Clearly, this is knowledge that is not widely considered, even if it is known.
> They didn’t spoof trades. They placed orders without the intent of trading anything.

That's the definition of a spoof trade. [1]

> Spoofing is a form of market manipulation in which a trader places one or more highly-visible orders but has no intention of keeping them.

Strange because there were psychedelic mushrooms growing all over Europe for thousands of years and undiscovered till the late 50s. Therefore, we have to believe that 1. Nobody ever tried them or 2. people tried them but didn’t like them, 3. They were liked at some point but were later forgotten or suppressed.

There is the story of Thracian wine that required dilution with water of 20 parts to 1 — and in Roman times,still required dilution of 8 to 1. Since you can’t make wine that strong, maybe it’s another case for mushrooms. But, tantalizing though it may be, it’s not evidence.
The short, not so politically correct but accurate answer is unbridled mass immigration. Refugees from highly unstable regions have a tough time integrating into mainstream society for a host of reasons and many literally live on their fringes in effective segregation from the main cities. They generally have good social services but their prospects, while much better than their home regions, are dim, and they often don’t get along with people from other regions. Sweden in particular is pretty messy

Not certain with this, but it might be a limitation of the Play Store rules. You are not allowed to publish some sort of App Store on the Play Store, which the Firefox Extension Store would kind of be.
I see your point. I also think the license is the most important thing, and probably even more for someone working on a GNU project at the FSF, but the project is still very interesting in many ways.
No, he's right. We're rubber and you're glue!
This seems like a No True Scotsman fallacy [0]. Being an open source enthusiast is a huge spectrum and if someone doesn’t check a box that you consider important it doesn’t signal anything special. I think asking about the omission makes sense, but it has nothing to do with a passing tag line that means almost anything to anyone.

Lantern Fish: Day 6: Advent of Code 2021 – Python Solution
If I understand correctly, the people harmed by the practice of spoofing are day traders who naively believe they can do technical analysis on an order book to determine the short-term direction of prices. Nope, I don't really feel sorry for either of them.
It objectively is fanning the flames. dang is clearly entrenched in the pro-YC side of the argument and is continuing conversation in that vein. Real moderation is just shutting down the flamewar. Like for instance they could have moved the story off the front page as quickly as they do for everything else.
As a consumer you should ask yourself: do the ads provide any benefit to me? And if there is none, you should just block the them.

Sure it's nothing new that companies try to show you ads. But in the same spirit I always turned down volume or switched channel on TV when ads were on. This was in the past. These days I don't even bother watching channels with ads.

I personally would not be sad if the whole ad industry became less significant and we had more paid services. They also tend to be longer-lasting than many ad-sponsored services. Also I am the customer and can demand certain things, whereas with a free service I can demand nothing and I am not the customer.

As a student I made a few small Android games with ads. They brought in a few hundred bucks. Then I was blocked by Admob for whatever reason. At this point I learned what a crooked business this is and I swore that I will never make an ad-sponsored app again. If I have an idea for a product/service that will only work in that setting it will not even go on my list.
As I said, "no legitimate use". But current COBOL compilers do not insist upon upper-case keywords.

There are "Enchroma" glasses, which increase color perception (in some cases) by blocking ambiguous wavelengths (particulary ones between red and green). These glasses are rather expensive, but it seems to me that such filter might be easily implemented on the electronic devices (eg. in the form of browser plugin).
> People celebrating bigots are people who value bigots

But, with some exceptions, these people aren’t celebrated for their bigotry. They’re celebrated for their positive achievements. People are complex mixtures of good, bad, and indifferent values. No one is pure of character or thought.
barmstrong is the coinbase ceo. he’s not “sharing an experience,” he’s doing PR.
It disrupts price discovery and allows the market markers to move the market at will. It's not really relevant whether you personally love day traders. There's nothing illegal or immoral about day trading - but there is something illegal about market manipulation, and specifically, spoofing. At least in traditional markets.
Those are good points, but Ubiquiti lost me at centralized, private management of my network devices. Someone might, you know, abuse that; plus, I'm not in control of what's on my device.

The energy cost is born for two purposes, neither of which is entertainment:

2) provide a somewhat fair distribution mechanism for new coins (something PoS fails at completely)

From having fought it as a savvy user, I completely agree with the article about the poor MySQL query planner. I don't have the under-the-hood insights of the poster, obviously, but everything he says jives with how it felt as a user.

Of course the planner is just part of a database, and I have some kind words to say about the other technically-impressive bits of MySQL:

A lot of MySQL users are websites and things with pretty CRUD access patterns. That wasn't me.

My history is using it for high-throughput real-time batching and fancy buzzword stuff at reasonably massive scale (big distributed teleco systems), which is where a lot of expensive choices were pitched.

Doing teleco systems with MySQL was staggeringly cheaper and actually quite cheerful and, for all the times I swore at it, I'm actually still a fan.

I went with MySQL for advanced features that, at the time, Postgres was way behind on. MySQL had lots of storage engine choices (including TokuDB, which changed everything for my use-cases) and upserts and compression and things that put it way ahead of Postgres.

Of course MySQL had lots of warts too. The query planner was completely poo, but 99% of uses are simple things that it can handle well, and the most critical times it gets things wrong you end up annotating the sql to force indices and do the planner's job for it etc.

Of course, nowadays, Postgres is reaching parity on these things too (except, perhaps, compression. My understanding is that Postgres is way behind on decent in-engine page-based compression. It will presumably get something decent eventually.)
I love this visualization! Especially the metaphor that two sides of the cuboid give different "views" of the same ideal object that is inside the cube. What would one show in the upper face?

Some comments on this awesome program:

1. A beautiful feature is that you can see the projection of the whole function into the complex plane. However, this visualization is difficult to see for both the frequency and time domains at the same time.

2. After some time playing with the curves, I'd like to see both sides on a flat surface. This would break the metaphor, but maybe consider an option for "unfolding" the cube to see all these visualizations at the sime time?

3. Could you add new functions? at least the Dirichlet and Fejer kernels, or even some fractal-like stuff (lacunary series, random phase noise, dubois raymond examples, etc).
> Well he could answer with whatever his reasoning is that may or may not align with the things you suggest. People take that seriously, including me.

He could've but the GP knew he was starting shit by asking that question. Don't expect people to take the high path when you're trying to mess with them. Seriously, if a cop is about to arrest you and you spit in his face don't be surprised when the cop knocks your teeth out when nobody is looking.

>You can answer to justify your decisions without being a jerk

Definitely. The problem here was GP was being a jerk and trying to make wolfram look bad by inciting a reaction. He succeeded but who really is the true ass hole here?

>But maybe I'm so naieve to have seen people respond in a reasonable way

Sure those people who respond that way are socially savvy. They know how to manipulate the situation to make themselves look good. Wolfram CLEARLY is not that type of person. But does that make him an ass? Nah. Shutting down a jerk who asks a insidious question like that is not the best response but it's an appropriate one. An eye for an eye.
> do they even consider voting as a positive feedback loop

To some material I have read (probably a TED talk), value is given to feedback, but it is top-down in evaluation (strong reliance on performance reports of/on officials) and made through surveys (instead of voting) in the bottom-up side.

I think it could have been: Eric X. Li, "A tale of two political systems" (Jul 2013), https://www.ted.com/talks/eric_x_li_a_tale_of_two_political_... : «[...] Adaptability, meritocracy, and legitimacy are the three defining characteristics of China's one-party system [...]»

> you would argue it's all because they've eliminated death penalty and has nothing to do with Japan being an island

I am not advocating for death penalty. I am simply pointing out your arguments are incorrect.

> In no case, no matter what information we get from Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, would you be convinced that death penalty is cruel and pointless.

I personally have no opinion on death penalty. I would prefer it did not exists (not that it is any of your business).

It seems like you are trying to win the argument simply based on your beliefs rather than on reasoning. You assumed I was pro death penalty and did a quick google search to justify your opinion. This says enough about your reasoning, don't you think? Making this a very boring argument.

Ask HN: Books on Logistics?
Inspired by the recent thread about Amazon solving its supply chain shortage, I've thought about how important it is to manage logistics.

Wether you're a CEO of a huge company or a general leading an army, you need to be super organized and efficient in order to succeed.

I was wondering if there are any books that I can read to have a deeper understanding of the work involved in logistics, or how - if you're Bezos/Musk/Napoleon - can you manage to be so organized to lead so many people in order to achieve a common goal?
True, but unfortunately Pytorch is not quite there yet when it comes to more complex benchmarks:

A beta/early-access program?
Changes in column length isn’t something that can’t be helped. The issue is that when a command outputs to a TTY, you can use that file descriptor to get the width of the TTY (ie your terminal emulator). But if you are piping a command then it’s STDOUT is no longer a TTY and thus you have no idea how wide the terminal is.

Its incredibly painful to read Americans perspective about work. I'm sorry if that comes across as rude, but this is incredible:

What a sad world to be so brainwashed by american corporate culture that you call this 'clock watching'. Sorry I really don't want to come across as rude or insulting as the term is ladden, but there's no other way to express this.
