I recommend Kropotkin's book about Mutual Aid regarding this topic. Disregarding his obvious political affiliation he is one of the first critics of the then-emerging social-darwinist readings of animal behaviour with regards to Evolution and therefore deals with this topic quite extensively.

He was a zoologist apart from all the other topics he had time to deal in because of his noble heritage. Here is the wikipedia article [0] since I do not know how HN regards links to e.g. libgen.

normalizing from raw json isn't terribly complicated but it's definitely more complicated than just indexing some paths into it. if the json is loosely defined normalization might not be practical (ie requiring too many tables or needing to be revisited too frequently as the json format evolves too often, etc, etc.)
Ruble is definitely not much stronger, it’s just practically frozen so it is not defined by free market rules, but by Russian government made ones.
I really feel like this is the correct way to operate. Create real career paths for people, get employees to buy into what they're doing. It results in happier employees, happier customers, and ultimately everybody wins if the entire company isn't turning over constantly. Costco can drive much more productivity from each person because they work to retain these people. Turnover is bad for morale, and training a new person takes time and money.

1) No. There are different factors for what makes "optimal."

Someone with a car might say "optimal" is to always have a parking spot by the entrance of wherever the driver wants to go.

Another someone might say that a 5 minute walk after finding parking is fine.

Yet another might want to rent out parking stops because public street parking is subsidized. (eg, "first hour free"), so thinks there is too much parking.

Still another might think there's an ideological love of cars, and wants less of the city center dedicated to cars.

2) Do you think there is not enough parking? Or too much?

The article says "In Seattle, the parking occupancy rate downtown is 64 percent" and "In Des Moines at mid-day, one publicly-funded parking garage is just 8 percent full. Outside downtown Seattle, occupancy rates are as low as 43 percent."

Don't those sound like there's rather more parking than is needed?

There's also 3) do the planning methods used to establish parking requirements make any sense? Why not let the market decide what "optimal" means?
We can trade anecdotes on this topic, but I've written numerical code in OCaml and also Julia. The strictness of OCaml's type system is painful in a numerical context but for virtually all other things it is awesome to pass code into the interpreter/compiler and catch structural problems at compile-time rather than maybe at runtime.

OCaml's type system is almost certainly not the right model for Julia but the ad-hoc typing/interface system Julia currently employs is at strong odds with compile-time correctness. There's almost certainly some middle ground to be discovered which might be unsound in a strict sense but pragmatically constrains code statically so there is high likelihood of having to go out of your way to pull the footgun trigger.

You can see how little type annotations are used in practice in major Julia libraries. It should be integral to best practice in the language to specify some traits/constraints that arguments must satisfy to be semantically valid, but what you often see instead is a (potentially inscrutable) runtime error.
Or you have high rent, another mouth to feed, sick parents to take care of, or any of hundreds of other things that could make every last dollar important.

I assumed this was a "more native" port of Meld to macOS, as it has been available for Mac for a while. I've been using the version installed via `brew`.

It appears this is the same version (the page says "Homebrew now installs Meld for OSX").

The macOS integration is a bit klunky (really feels like a non-native app), but this remains my preferred visual diff app. Thanks to those who make it and maintain the macOS port.
I trust in Azure much more than solutions like that. I'd imagine most of their customers do too.

That really is. I've been studying WW1 recently and those are the kind of numbers you see associated with the largest offensives in the war. To consider the scale at which Wal-Mart operates that it grabbed up almost .01% of the nation for hiring. That really is crazy to consider.

My personal rec is Killer of Men by Christian Cameron. I LOVE this book and it really hit me at the right time. I love it as it is written by a Greek warrior looking back over his life as an older man, and it is a great story based on a really interesting time in history. As he walks you through his life I loved his attitude and the way he navigated it, I got a lot of inspiration and lessons from it.
In this case blocking outgoing traffic to port 853 would be enough, but it won't stop DNS over HTTP. I've not found a good way to deal with that one if you want to control things, other than requiring all devices support your CA and you inspect for it.
Agreed.

Will be interesting to see where development / contributions by various players go in the future.
I agree in general. But the business is not a joke. It is a farce.

Why have one time reporting system when you can have two or three? Why not also add some burndown charts to that so you must report every hour left of that ticket? Why not add an additional spreadsheet with the same info while you’re at it to get a “holistic view”? Make it two or three different spreadsheets btw so you can separate progress from work hours and gummy bears. Cause abstractions are important CS.

“Gummy bears” is of course named different in each project. Remember to not mix up the gummy bears with mentos and the skittles. Some random management person will get insulted otherwise.

Then the boss tells you to only work on the highest prioritized tickets. 2 minutes later the same boss mails you a side-quest that takes a day. Then the same boss asks why you have not only worked on the highest prioritized ticket.

Then you show the boss 5 tickets and ask: What is the highest prioritized ticket? The boss replies: They are all the highest prioritized. Then you start to work on one ticket and the boss asks about the progress on another ticket 2 hours later.

Then the boss calls you into a meeting. The meeting is set for just 20 minutes but you quickly realize that there are a lot of people in the meeting. The meeting is about some design that nobody was prepared for, so everybody must read up and improvise. 2 hours later it is decided to apply the same kerning on each heading. What the problem was or what the solution solves nobody knows.

Now you get an encouraging email about what success that meeting was. But the day before some marketing person without prior notice or permission managed to do a fundamental configuration change leaving the system offline. You fixed the problem and saved the company tens of thousands of dollars even though it was outside agreed work hours. Then you get criticized by the boss because “the system is supposed to work”.

And this just repeats over and over.
This is an article about Walmart's program that has just two spots, two (and only paid them $65K/ea with a college degree). They had "over 1000 applicants" but had two spots, then they get free(?) advertising on their internal mobility.

Also, this is rather a mind bender of a paragraph:

> Around 75% of Walmart managers started out as hourly workers at the company. Walmart aims to protect that pipeline by attracting more college graduates and outside hires and then fast-tracking them into managerial roles, said Ms. Jordan, who is also building new internal training programs.

So most of your previous managers are internal hires, but in the future you're going to go with recent grads and outside hires instead..?

Also, the title's $200K only appears in the body as: "often pays more than $200,000 a year." Often? Want to qualify that a little? Hard to read this article as anything more than a Walmart ad with little substance. There's no real store manager shortage, since they just had enough applications for this program to replace all of their current store managers per the article itself.

Nothing wrong with p2p. But often it's simply overkill.

P2P may have a comeback, because home connections are becoming more symmetrical. DSL usually had relatively low uplink rates, and COMCAST cable was worse. But fiber is usually symmetrical, and 5G wireless typically has an uplink bandwidth of half the downlink rate. This makes P2P more feasible.
IMO, this hypothesis hasn't been adequately tested. By all accounts inflation is bad, but not THAT bad. However, I'm sure Bitcoin and most Cryptocurrency is looking pretty stable with respect to Venezuela's 2,00,00% inflation. Bitcoin as a hedge against economic turmoil requires real economic turmoil.
But it's not a matter of language design. The 'choose your own indexing' is something you do entirely in libraries.

You can create your own indexing in python too, it will just be slow. The 'sin' of Julia is that it will be fast...
No, not in Fortran of that era ~ was pretty much missing from most card punch keyboards
Indeed, static types don't save you from this issue, at least structural ones don't, exactly the same issue would occur as in Julia (see: C++ templates). Static structural types have the same problem as Julia here, you gain a lot of compositional power at the expense of potential correctness issues.

However, nominal types do "solve" the problem somewhat, as there's a clear statement of intent when you do "X implements Y" that the compiler enforces. If that promise is missing, the compiler will not let you use an X where a Y is expected. And if you do say X implements Y, then you probably tested that you did it correctly.

But this would also fail at the OffsetArray problem. The only way I can see of protecting against it (statically or dynamically) is to have an "offset-index" type, different from an integer, that you need to have to index an OffsetArray. That makes a[x] not be compatible between regular Arrays and OffsetArrays.

I don't think anyone wants that mess though. So if your language has OffsetArrays, and they're supposed to be compatible with Arrays, and you can index both the same way, no amount of static types will help (save for dependent/refinement types but those are their own mess).

The first comment was comparable in performance (IP68), but the one I replied to, with the battery cover, was not (IP67). The point of my comment was to point out that they are not comparable. The purpose of my comment was to hint that the features from the IP67 may contribute to them being IP67 (battery cover in this case).
It's the same concept.

RAII can (and I have seen DB libraries that do) model a DB transaction as a resource. In the cases that I know of, they take the safe default of rolling the transaction back if the code fails to commit it. But the transaction is never leaked nor is the connection left in some unspecified state.
> Given empirical studies, the current working hypothesis should be that if static types do have a positive effect on correctness, it is a small one.

Which use cases, languages and static type systems are you referring to? The context is very important, especially when seeking to draw general conclusions from empirical studies.

As someone who has previously posted extolling the merits of static analysis, I'm very surprised at your position regrding static types. Static types help to constrain a language and enable reasoning, either by additional static analysis or otherwise.

It is precisely the flexibility of dynamic languages that makes them difficult to reason about and difficult to build correct software in. This is why the use of dynamic languages are mostly banned in the defense industry.

Static types clearly help with composition (one of the complaints with Julia), especially at scale. How many academic empirical studies considered multimillion-line code bases? I submit for evidence a lot of expensive type-retrofitting projects such as Facebook Hack, Microsoft Typescript or Python types, which demonstrate that many companies have or had real problems with dynamic languages at any kind of scale.
I agree w/ you. I saw a quote about this that says, "If you think without writing, you only think you're thinking."

Ecoppia makes robotic systems to clean dust off of solar panels without using water: https://www.ecoppia.com/technology

Some of their systems are already deployed in India. One example:

Site: Bikaner Solar Park

Location: Bikaner, Rajasthan, India

Capacity: 438 MW

Bikaner solar Park it is located in the north part of Rajasthan surrounded by the Thar Desert. While providing optimal irradiation, this geographic location poses great challenges in terms of soiling losses, which fluctuate between 17-25%. As such, it requires between 12-36 conventional wet manual cleaning cycles.

With the installation of Ecoppia’s E4 fully automated and water free cleaning solution, there was no longer a need to perform manual wet cleaning, saving billions of liters of water every year. Moreover, Ecoppia’s daily cleaning, significantly reduced soiling loses, maximizing the site’s productivity.

$30 a month is gas for a few days or food for a few days. When you're poor, you're more focused on survival and that amount can put a lot of fear and hesitation into someone.
Relative worked at Target retail at a very junior role ... the group responsible for restocking. It was a very unusual management structure at the local store; just a nebulous "team" with no real point person like at a grocery store which has specific managers, assistant managers, and department managers. It seemed a little loose at times (and abusable from a staff perspective), but I could also see it was flexible and the store did very well.

> You probably don't have to right to travel freely, but you have the right to not get an injection in China. FWIW.

It sounds like you're either Chinese, or have close ties there.

For context, I live in the Southern US. I've not been vaccinated due to a medical concern that's shared with my doctor. My normal doctor is aggressively anti-COVID-vaccine, so I got a second opinion just in case, and concluded that while it probably wouldn't hurt me significantly... there is a chance of side effects that is within an order of magnitude of the chance that I will eventually develop a very severe case of COVID. I've already had COVID once - almost certainly the Delta variant - so the chances of my developing a severe case are very low anyhow.

I'm able to travel freely, and until very recently no one around me has any idea whether or not I've been vaccinated. The only change to that is that I'm taking a trip across the country for work in the next couple of months, and I had to get a doctor's note for my employer to release them of liability should I catch COVID and die as a result of that trip.

In short, I don't see this as a choice between being able to travel freely or being forced to take the vaccine. It's more nuanced than that.
Wasn't it rather common for the time to fantasize about everything being powered by nuclear reactors? (Think: Ford Nucleon, ideas about civilian nuclear powered ships or aircraft)

I also don't get the Musk hate. That man created more than 100k jobs for Americans, made rockets land and cars go electric. And with "made", I mean that he enabled the engineers at these companies to do what they did. If you don't believe that then mentally substract Musk from SpaceX or Tesla and ask where they would they be today? (Answers: Tesla would have died in 2004 or soon after because Tesla was not much more than an idea back then and SpaceX would have never existed at all).
fyi, both inline code snippets and full code blocks appear as as solid white blocks to me in light mode.
They have a photon with energy=x, and are detecting a photon with energy=x+y. The question is where the y comes from. Since they've ruled out the usual suspects, it seems to be a violation of conservation of energy.

How can there be evidence-based distinctions if there is no evidence either way? There is no evidence for nor against widespread transmission from wildlife, so handwaving statements about biases and evidence-based distinctions are no more than demonstrations of a prejudice about sources. Your prejudice is that it must be incontrovertible science because the CDC mentions it. In reality nobody knows either way, and the CDC merely states they think something is unlikely, and there is no evidence for it. But there is no evidence against it either.

And no matter how widespread it is, it only takes one infection for COVID zero to fail. So it doesn’t matter if it is widespread or not. That is the major flaw of COVID zero policies. Sure, you can test everyone every two days and hope no infections fall through the cracks. Are they going to keep that up for the next decade? Because COVID isn’t going anywhere, it’s endemic.

> What is the point of having a NATO member who illogically rails against new members just because Russia tells them not to?

You, I think, know very little about Turkey's politics to make a claim like that.

PKK & YPG has long been a perceived thorn in Turkey's side and they have largely felt like the rest of NATO has ignored this problem if not actively antagonized them on it.

To them, it's akin to as if the rest of NATO was funding cartels in Mexico.
