We've had them in Australia for a while now and honestly.... not that amazing. Most products beyond the absolute "staples" like bread, milk, eggs etc are barely any cheaper than our other major supermarket chains. I'm talking cents of difference; a frozen chicken kiev at Coles might cost like $8 and the Aldi version is $7.90.

A lot of the brands they sell are almost Aliexpress-grade knock offs of known brands - they'll mimic the branding and packaging of a known brand almost to the point of being an exact copy with a slightly different name. The quality of these knockoffs is also pretty questionable in my experience, but some are actually comparable to the real thing.

Another minor complaint - the staff don't pack your bags like every other supermarket, but they also don't have self service checkouts so you get the worst of both worlds and none of the benefit. Every store near me is chronically understaffed as well so actually checking out can take upwards of 10 minutes even during off-peak hours.

Overall though it's not much cheaper and the whole thing kind of feels a bit grubby, don't really see any reason to shop there.
> You were probably thinking of IQ tests.

Quite the opposite. The common IQ tests are not resistant to preparation. But the big standardized tests are.
Hugged to death? Getting connection errors in Firefox console.
You didn't need to recompile programs, that was the whole idea. Distribute any app's compute over many nodes. But shared memory and threading were very hard to distribute and I/O was not distributed except for mfs (a distributed layer on NFS) which did work fine. But obviously NFS is not suitable for all applications, in which case you could use any other form of distributed I/O.

It worked great for forking apps. Trouble was hell would freeze over before the patches got merged and most people thought it wouldn't be widely adopted without shared memory and threads.

But the point is, it did run arbitrary apps across distributed nodes, you could see any node's processes and instrument them, you could see the filesystem of any node. This isn't some advanced mystic sorcery, it was there two decades ago. Clearly we could implement these features again in some new way - not as an SSI, but at least allowing an assortment of system-level RPC and some sort of distributed pluggable VFS.

And also my point is: sure, we have all these 3rd party userland solutions, and that is bad. It means nothing is supported until it's been "integrated". It means we have miles and miles of plumbing that schmucks like me are paid to set up before a JavaScript developer can run their piddly web app across 3 nodes. It should just be baked into the OS, batteries included. A lot less annoying bullshit, a lot more standardization, and the ability to get more shit done with less effort. That is the entire point of operating systems, to make it easier to run programs. Not to make it necessary to add 15 million new abstractions before you can run your programs.
For placement, I am fairly confident the best possible strategy will be one in which every tile has a uniform chance of being chosen for a ship. Any other strategy will result in the opponent being able to gain an advantage by preferring certain tiles when firing, and thus the equilibrium and best strategy will be one where that cannot happen.

However, I am also fairly certain that human players, especially those playing a casual iMessage battleships game, do a very bad job of following this strategy.
Isnt this just a lens?
I think the problems they have with managing non prod environments is actually a symptom of having many systems.
Staging environments are easy to maintain when it’s one system, when you have a complicated service oriented architecture, it becomes much more difficult and expensive to maintain non prod environments.

Ask HN: Has anyone successfully unblocked their Airbnb account?
I’m getting so frustrated with Airbnb. I logged in one day to find out my account has been blocked. No transactions, no suspicious activity, just blocked for unknown reasons. I’ve opened cases with Airbnb review team, I’ve called in to their support line, sent emails but no response. I’ve been a customer since 2012 and the lack of customer service or follow up is appalling. I’ve asked around and it seems like this is actually a common issue where many folks are randomly banned with no recourse.
Nice, what'd you use for drawing it?
Well if there is such a process that does a better job than the current one at scale then the billions of dollars spent researching the problem at tech recruiting departments haven't unearthed it yet.
The only add-on I use on my android firefox is ublock origin.

For my iOS device I proxy my internet and block all ad domains on the proxy $5 DO server . The bandwidth and battery saved alone recovers the costs.

I am surprised why no major VPN provider offers ad-blocking pihole style as a add-on. People will surely pay for that.
Here is a theoretical solution:

Lets say there is a north-south train line that is shared.

The schedule can create a number of north slots and south slots into which a train of a given speed and length can fit. A variety of different trains could fit into the same slot.

If a train is late, that train is moved into a later slot. That leaves a free slot where the train was going to go. Perhaps every later train is then delayed into a later slot also. Lets call this a rippling delay.

You would probably schedule some spare slots to prevent delays rippling through the entire day's schedule. Some slots might be long enough to permit several trains going in the same direction to travel (it's more efficient if 10 north trains go then 10 south trains rather than 10 north/south interleaved).

I suppose it depends on your media habits. If you want a large media library then it's absolutely worth it. I started by manually downloading and configuring media, but after a certain point it just became easier to let the computer handle it instead.

the *arr stack can automatically search dozens of torrent sites for what you want and automatically download the release with your exact specifications. Do you want everything in the highest resolution and bit depth? Do you want HDR and Dolby Surround releases? Do you want everything to be in HEVC to save on space? Do you want special editions of releases instead of theatrical releases? Do you want to download directors commentary for movies and tv shows? You can configure all of this for Radarr and Sonarr. I have hearing loss in both ears so I also use bazarr for downloading subtitles automatically. For Readarr, I found just being able to follow a writer and automatically download their entire back catalog to be a huge time save. I don't use Lidarr very much for music as Apple Music is good enough for my needs. I also had real difficulty getting mylar3 to work properly so I can't comment too much on that.

I've also heard that usenet is better than torrents when it comes to looking for releases but I haven't put in the time and effort into learning how it works yet.

Also, as a small note, I would recommend taking a moment to configure a torrent client with a built in vpn like binhex-delugevpn unless you want a letter from your ISP, as happened with me a few times :(

I used this[1] video to learn how to configure everything and videos by SpaceInvaderOne[2] for everything else Unraid related. I would also really recommend following these "trash" guides[3] if you want to optimize quality and storage settings.

If you need help, I would recommend reaching out to the community via the Unraid Forums or their Discord. I've had a really good success rate there.

> Maybe it is because health-insurance billing is already so opaque and error-prone it provides cover for questionable services.

At least in America, it seems a consequence of the stratified, multi-party market.

Each participant only has limited visibility into the entire stack, which allows scams to appear more legitimate than they might in industries where each participant has a better view of the whole.

Also, as you say, it's just ridiculously manual for data entry. :-( But slowly getting better. But that means that the sort of heavyweight detection or correction algorithms one would use elsewhere would just spew nonstop false positives.
Totally fine, I use the trackpad exclusively all day, with no external mouse. It's not as lusciously-buttery-waxy-smooth as my old Dell XPS, with the same sort of occasional rubbiness as my Macbook (though I'm sure someone will quickly appear to tell me why a PC can't possibly have a touchpad comparable to a Mac). Palm detection is flawless and multi-touch gestures support is miles ahead of Windows, with a friendly GUI for configuration that even works on a per-app basis so e.g. I can tell it to make three-finger-swipe-left pass Alt+Left when in Firefox. I don't like its pointer acceleration as much as Windows', but that's probably a matter of me not bothering to fiddle with it.

Like Direct2D, QPainter (QT) and cairo (GTK)?
Not to be rude but this isn't how this works at all. Things like 'run an "INSERT ... SELECT ..."' can't happen at scale due to locking. How they actually do it is super rad:

https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/3.0/pt-online-sc...

tl;dr; They setup a system of triggers (updates,inserts,etc) , copy the data over, then run through all the data in the trigger system. percona developed all these fancy features as well to monitor replica data etc. Another way with cloud vms (terabyte+ tables), you image a replica, do the alter, let the replica catch up, image it, build replicas off that, promote this to master.

Facebook's internal one I hear is close to this.

You don't have to rebuy. You just keep the old console if you want to play the old game. I still have 20+ year old consoles and games that work fine. While PC backwards compatibility is nice sometimes it's also a giant pain where you're spending 4 hours to figure out WTF Sims 2 won't launch on your 4K monitor (true story).

No, the sales are just as competitive. It's been there for years. Take a look at sites that keep price histories for Steam, PSN and XBL. Only real value in PC gaming is free online.
"so often"
I get what you are saying, I just thought all of those things were either present or absent in a person way before going to university even, let alone getting a PhD. If you are not a self learner, I don't see how you can even excel in university in the first place, at least not in a heavily technical subject. No professor is really going to explain how any of that stuff works, if anything they are going to keep it vague and try to weed you out. You have to be able to read texts and make sense of it on your own, maybe with the occasional question to your prof for a detail or two, but if you cannot do 98% of the learning, you are toast. At least in math which I did, there is no way a person can lean on faculty for their knowledge, it really is up to you.
It's likely the same power fault could occur in a single train in other circumstances. When an electric train cannot access the grid reliably it would become far more dangerous - no more regenerating brakes, no reliable acceleration ...

Better to force the operators to fix the boom arm / whatever other cause of power glitches with fault codes like this. Even if they false-trip when there are grid level outages.

I'm so afraid of creating programs in languages that don't enforce a structure at all, even though I know how to write everything from scratch make it work.

If it's some framework, then it'll already be structured somewhat.

In the rare event that I do create something with no frameworks, I ensure that there aren't much global variables.

That has been my assumption. Part of the family had also already had COVID. They said this was much worse than COVID, which I would assume is because we are all vaccinated and it was most likely the milder Omnicron variant.

The Aldi in Portsmouth, OH is a purveyor of almost nothing but the foods you should probably try to eat less of. I found shopping there almost traumatic, mostly from the realization that the pallets stacked all over the floor with white flour, white sugar, garbage oils etc. etc. probably do represent what a significant fraction of Americans cook with.

Wow. You’re really just an asshole. Fuck directly off please.

Edit for the benefit of people who are not assholes and may want to know about how ADHD treatment works chemically:

> I don't think adderall or any amphetamine is a permanent working solution for adhd. It just works. It's the same as taking painkillers for pain. Is the source of the pain gone? No. Will it work forever? No. Does it work? Somewhat.

This is all correct in my experience. If the person commenting had left it there I would have emphatically agreed and moved on. Probably with quite a bit more to say supporting this. I’m happy to fill more in later if anyone wants.

> Will a person with ADHD have more focus? Yes, just like any other person will.

This is both questionably true and intentionally ignoring what it’s responding to in obvious bad faith. For what it’s worth, my ability to focus on amphetamines is roughly the same as it was before I ever got diagnosed. For reasons that are true in the first quote I agreed with emphatically.

> It's not a permanent solution.

On this I just wholeheartedly agree. No notes at all. Treating ADHD is maintenance, not a cure. I don’t even know that I’d want a cure.

> On the topic of drug seeking behaviour, that's exactly what your post sounds like. You're instantly defensive, you begin arguing points that it seems only exist in your mind, anything to protect and validate "your next dose.

I’m sorry to tell anyone seeking information about ADHD diagnosis or treatment, but you’re inevitably going to encounter people who think this way no matter what your experience. If you feel like their description of your reaction doesn’t match your reality, it very probably doesn’t. People are understandably biased about amphetamines, and probably see confirmations of their concerns where they don’t realize it’s not true.

> The problem is discipline and focus is HARD.. amphetamines make it easy. It's scary to admit it, but once you tell yourself it's hard it will become easier.

This is just common ADHD dismissal. It’s completely ignoring actual ADHD experiences and challenges. It’s completely disregarding symptoms as expressed by actual people with ADHD. And it’s entirely focused on “focus”, which has nothing to do with what I described in any of my responses.

I’m posting this in hopes anyone who might have a similar background to mine might not be dissuaded by this kind of ignorant judgment.

So you're saying that people should not be allowed to build log cabins because they don't contribute to your definition of acceptable housing stock? What if someone would prefer to live in a log cabin than commie block apartment? Is there any human freedom safe from such communistic arguments?

Regulations are not the primary reason for safety in vehicular design. I know you'll never believe that, however, it probably goes counter to your entire world view, so don't bother responding.

Whether you like it or not, there is dollar number on the value of a human life, and liability insurance (and vehicle design and regulation) revolves around it. Safety has diminishing returns and there is a market clearing point. Brush guards are just as dangerous as spikes, for instance, would you like to ban them? Or would you make a government form to apply for an exception if the brush guard is for an approved acceptable use by you for someone who has a license for their proper use off-road by someone with an acceptable economic reason fitting the social and economic calculations for the current five year plan determined by your Ministry of Truth?
Yeah, none of the study results I've seen have been strong. I don't trust them all that much.

I prefer snake_case and believe it probably is mildly more readable than camelCase.

The underscore comes closer to space-delimited words like we use in English, typographically speaking. It's hard for me not to think that must be easier to read that way.

Obviously I can't prove it's better, but it both makes sense to me that it would be and fits with my subjective experience.

It still sometimes is. There was a big crash in Czech republic recently, where two passenger trains (motor units) collided head on between stations.

Some local routes with few trains a day, where there is no longer any track-side staff, operate in a simplified rules (there is a whole code for that). There, the train will arrive to a station and depending on a symbol in the timetable, it will either continue to the next station without any signals or permissions needed or will wait for crossing train in oposite direction (the train driver must also unlock the station office and call the dispatcher on phone in some cases). Switches are either operated by train crew or they are self-returning (one direction always go to track 1 in station, the other direction goes to track 2, and the switches can be travelled through in the oposite direction without setting them first (this is an accident on standard switches) and they return back.

So, the problem was that the crossing was there on some days and wasn't on some other days, driver forgot or misread the day and the train left into oncoming train...

Was a big discussion after that to do anything, even an uncertified mobile app to shout "train coming" at the driver... Otherwise Czech rep. has a very modern European rail infra, just some local branch routes run like this saving them from being cancelled completely, but the rules were simified maybe too much.

From looking at the trailer, some of the scenes kind of seem 'worse' from an art perspective. Not sure how to put it, kind of like when a cartoon includes some live-action art / 3D model or just cheap CGI in general, just feels 'off'. Still, great job by the devs.

That sentence has widely different endings for different people.
There is no difference. In both cases someone is pushing their opinions or interest into your view. That's advertising, plain and simple. The text of the ad doesn't change that. Apple may not have the advertising bug as bad as Microsoft, but the are both reprehensible. I can't see why anyone would voluntarily use either one of them.
That sounds unrealistic given the size of the problem.
I find the only way I can get a little traction with people on this subject is through the consequences on insurance markets:

“Imagine you your car insurance is triple because waze said you speed”

“Imagine you and your entire extended family can’t get health insurance because of genetic conditions discovered via 23andme” (assumes law change)

“Imagine your health insurance goes up because you buy too much junk food”

Etc
