Those 40 and up only account for 30% of ticket sales [1], despite being nearly 50% of the population. This is a figure I find rather shocking given that these ages include those with children and those with an abundance of time in retirement.

Another factor may be the skyrocketing costs of movie tickets. This source [2] shows that tickets went from $4.35 in 1996 to $9.16 in 2021, which exceeds the rate of inflation. Additionally, I'm not aware of any tickets to be had for $9. Tickets are exorbitantly expensive these days [3].

That works as long as you are not too concerned about latency, but it is a bit easier to set up than Jack. Though Ubuntu Studio takes most of the sting out of it.
Interesting. I'd still rather have that problem than the massive, massive problems I tend to have without PulseAudio. Only one app can make sound at a time, can't adjust volume at all, that sort of thing.

That’s not what people are saying though. Whether or not apple cares about its users is completely irrelevant. The question is whether apples incentives align with its users better than other tech companies. The answer pretty clearly seems to be yes, apple makes most of its money by selling hardware, their incentive is to make a product people enjoy. Competitors make most of their money selling ads, their incentive is to lock users in while maximizing the number and effectiveness of ads served.
>It’s also the age of 35 year old women playing the mothers of 25 year old men

Its my gripe with the latest Dune adaptation. No way that actress was old enough to be Paul's mom unless she had him when she was 6 years old. She looked more like his siter than his mother.

It bugs me when they don't have age apropriate family members with such obviously wide age gaps.
Haskell has a REPL. No idea whether it’s considered good though.
No, you will mess up your cast iron. Cook them in stainless steel.
I don't know, but organizations which haven't duped people into using broken crypto before would be a good start.
It depends also on what you want to prioritize. Indices add insertion overheads. You can have general rules for indices but ultimately it comes down to what operations are time-critical.
Tao has typeclasses (like Haskell) that allow for compositional parameteric polymorphism. It also has data types (records, sum types, etc.) and functions, but deliberately does not bundle the two together.

There is no module system yet (only a temporary C-like #include system): that's on my list of things to work on!

Google Code also had hg support before it had git support, if I remember right. Certainly the SVN -> hg migration was easier than SVN -> git if you were using it.

No. Well, maybe, but if anything i think that it's in spite of the UI/UX.

The UI/UX is pretty bad on mobile, which is the majority of internet traffic (no idea about HN specifically, it probably isn't because it's just annoying) with the small buttons. I'm also not a fan of the POST redirects for basic things we have had AJAX for for literally more than a decade, but I'm probably in a minority here. I really don't think the 0.5s saved by not having the JS code for that are worth the back and forth blocking POSTs.

The lack of dark mode is another annoyance.

And the part which is the saddest, IMHO, is that if the code were open source, there'd be a PR/MR within minutes fixing each of those problems. If it were a commercial site, they would have already added those feature for growth and etc. But it's neither, so it lingers.
The one time I spent with an SAP sales guy in an elevator, he tried to convince me that SAP needs no manual indeces, because their database is auto indexing. Very convincing, because that might be the reason why SAP queries are so "fast". Like hours for a simple unindexed date range search.

It’s like writing a compiler or interpreter: writing one is easy; writing a good one extremely hard.

This suggester isn’t very good. It takes a single query and suggests indexes for it. A good one would take a mix of queries and suggest a set of indexes, also considering the impact on write speed of additional indexes (table updates often need to update indexes, too)

For the example in this article, if the table is large and the average number of rows with a given ‘a’ value is close to 1 or if most queries are for ‘a’ values that aren’t in the database, it may even be better to do

CREATE INDEX x1a ON x1(a);

That gives you a smaller index, decreasing disk usage.
I'm sure they're not afraid of it becoming a real technology.

So, what's the "danger" in the concept alone? I'm assuming they have a "rational" explanation behind the decision. What is it?
The combination of unbridled arrogance along with the dubious technical merits of your all-or-nothing design decisions, can lead to that; so, hardly mystifying.

Why does systemd need to mess with user processes and home directories? It was billed as a replacement for init.

Easily the worst outage of theirs I can remember and no ETA on resolution. Not sure if all stores are affected.
There is long term advantage to do robotic surgery in the creation of a large learning dataset. All the inputs to the surgeon - video, audio, bio metrics - are digitized, and all the surgeon outputs like movements and actions and even the peripheral actions like dosage changes or orders to nurses, it's all digitized. If all the inputs and outputs can be digitized,we can also expect the creation of outputs to be automated. Why not?
The correct answer here is that any single query lacks the context of the entire suite of queries that will be performed against the database and their relative importance and sensitivity to performance.

Indexes compete with each other and with table data for space in memory cache(s). They also require significant cpu and IO resources at write time to be kept up to date. Having too many indexes can lead to having them not being used (best case) or having them evict each other or more important data over and over from caches. In many cases it is better to not have one index that helps some specific query perform 50% better if it means another index is able to stay in memory that makes some other run in 1/500th as much time. It's often better to just scan data and have queries take an hour if they are for nightly reports rather than create the enormous multi-column indexes required to speed them up, since you don't care about the reporting queries taking an hour over night (at least in this hypothetical).

Great website. Now I know I am not only average but a liar and ugly.
Technically, we all fractionally have hold of that steering wheel, but the decisions made in the boardrooms and the houses of parliament (assuming democracy, not always a given) will easily counteract the effects of private individuals deciding for themselves.

It's actually really simple: this level of comfort is not sustainable without a major re-tooling of the way we interact with the eco-system, and if we don't adapt we will be adapted, quite likely by 'downsizing'.

> This is analogous to player position in any multiplayer game.

Not sure. Multiplayer games are easier to predict player movement. Once someone starts moving forward, you can predict that they'll move forward for a little while, start turning, continue forward and so on. Add in physics (like the motions/movements of a car, or the running of a human) and there will be constraints the player can't break (when you stop moving forward, you'll move forward slower and slower until you stop, maybe over 100ms or so)

But mouse movement is highly erratic. It'll be short of impossible to add any sort of prediction, as it'll be incorrect most of the time, instead of being mostly correct but sometimes not.

It won't eat into any revenues. In the Netherlands Apple charges 27% commission on any revenues paid into external payment systems [1]. And what is the EU exactly going to do - ban Apple from charging for access to their software APIs [2]? That seems like one step from banning charging for software as a whole.

[2] Yes, APIs themselves are not copyrightable, but what developer is going to spend the resources to reimplement all of iOS' APIs, with no documentation of how the underlying hardware works?

This isn’t really a meaningful analysis though. It’s just “when you do things in house there are things you have to do”.

It’s like saying, “I would rather retire than clean the toilets, restock the toilet paper, etc” in a discussion about whether to outsource your bathroom maintenance. Doesn’t tell you what’s cost effective.

Please whenever you envoke any model, have a sense of scale or region of applicability of the model, no model is true in all cases unless you're religious. The point the GP is making is at the scale of a F500 it starts to make less sense especially if you already have the infrastructure, the expertise, the experience, and so on. AWS is going to manage your VM better than you at your 3 person start up, but the economy of scale / specialization arguments work less well when you have an experienced workforce and developed system in place already and you're one of the world's largest logistics companies.
But that requires you to load the page resource from that origin already, so if you're already in control of it, what would you want to do that you couldn't already?
Even if you do: that democracy will have to somehow work in concert with all of the other governments towards a single goal. We have - historically speaking - never done this. Ever. So I think the lesson will be a hard one and after that whatever remains will maybe be able to do a better job the next time around. If there is a next time around. I don't take that for granted at all.
The biggest problem with systemd is that it broke with so many "established practices" and philosophies of a lot of distributions and iirc it took a while for generators to appear that automagically integrate old-school sysvinit scripts into systemd, meaning an awful lot of work for distributions to recreate unit files with sometimes decades of history buried in the old init scripts. Additionally, its overhaul of logging broke established file-based workflows.

Personally I'm happy with systemd these days - it has a steep learning curve but once you get how to write them and how dependency ordering works, it's just a breeze.

If there is one thing the Linux ecoysystem desperately needs if it ever wants to be a serious challenger on the desktop, it's standardization for software vendors... and slowly but surely, life gets easier, in no small part thanks to systemd.

The is wrong on so many levels, in most places be it country or company the bus is being steered towards what is thought to result in global carbon reduction. This is a classic example of a moth and bailey argument, if only we had the same confidence about what to do about climate change as the fact of climate change. According to this article it is as if we only need to elect the right people and then those shall do the right thing.

If you're going to level this accusation about what Apple supposedly "wants", you should at least have the common courtesy to support it. In any way. At all.

Or just admit it: you're making it up, especially the part about what Apple "wants". And the part about what Apple will supposedly charge for.
? I mean sure, in some countries instead of waiting 6 months for a permit, you can pay the guy at the side door to skip the line and get it in a week/etc.

But how is that any different than many of the things we do in the USA too, like for example in Austin, TX right now there is a ~4 month wait to take a driving test, but you can pay a 3rd party who will help you along in the process and "test" you, and then tell the DMV they have tested you, so you can get your license in a week or so. Or Clear at the airport.

It all pay to play, the difference in the US is that we call them "public private partnerships" or other nonsense which ends up being a bribe to someone in the know who can accelerate the process. We pretend that clear is somehow more secure/etc than the interview and fingerprint global entry process (wait time ~9 months). Or that the 1+ year waiting periods to get a site plan approval, sped up if you know a council man, isn't just corruption.

And in many cases these wait times are directly the result of funding cuts/etc to each and every organization, by a party that insists that government is inefficient, despite frequently being patently false. If I paid even half of the $500 fee I payed to the private driving instructor to the DMV they would be swimming in money to test people.
Yes, he definitely doesn't follow the convention approach like other leading actors. You might even call him a "maverick" for having a strong independent opinion on how to make and showcase movies.
I think they will regret this in the long run when they have disagreements with their providers or their providers go bankrupt and fold overnight because of corporate mismanagement/thievery (ala Enron). Even Amazon and Google will go under eventually...
Same. It shaved 8 years off of me, and then called me ugly.
Have never used those APIs, but I would assume it'd happen if drivers fail to implement basic API promises and PulseAudio doesn't code defensively against those kind of bugs.
And even if it DOES become evergreen, it's like Disney kid shows - sent to live in whatever monthly app (Prime in this case) to rot and die; there's not much realized revenue from them, the way syndication has.
Basically I concur what searedsteak wrote. Would add that stock grant in the company is in number of shares and is paid out over 4 years. So, I really like low stock prices when they vest (taxable event), while capital gains is 0 for non professional investors. So, unless you intended to sell stock right out there’s no difference and only gain. I never sell shares of my company.
His latest movie was also filmed 3 years ago in large part due to how long CGI takes but also how long movies are edited. So not only do Actors age more between filming and release, but it also takes longer for a new actor to catch on.

Aka they film a movie when their 20, it’s a breakout hit when their 23, their next movie comes out when their 26.
Or, hear me out, ship a binary/package from your own website.
There's been all kinds of comments here about how Malthus' thesis was wrong. I'd agree that was the case if we could get the vast majority of humanity on the same page and actually deal with the many crises that currently face us (climate, food, extinction,etc). But given how we've dealt with the climate crisis up til now and how we handled (or didn't handle) covid, I think Malthus was probably right. I don't think he was even factoring in human nature just carrying capacity (and his calculations there were probably flawed), but it's human nature that's driving the bus.

Then there shouldn't be a problem with another organization hosting the contest than NIST? Since I'm probably not alone in not being able to trust them anymore.
My personal hypothesis is that TSMC's timelines for Apple slipped and the M2 was originally supposed to be a cooler 3nm chip. Instead we have hotter GPU cores built on the same 5nm process.
Then don't use it. No one is forcing you, there exist alternatives. Attacking someone for making an optional thing seems kinda like the problem lies in you.

Without school systems failures, there's a value in not rushing. I used to be quick, I'd iterate thousands of times in my head, until I could find an answer. But I didn't grasp the breadth of mathematical beauty, the coherence of abstractions, the various ways to interpret them, play with them. I was obsessed by finding "one answer".
Does stgit help with the following scenario:

1. I want some changes in my repo to be persistent whenever I switch to a new branch, pull, or merge a remote.

2. They should not be shown in git status.

3. They should not be pushed.

From skimming the front page I haven't found whether something like this is supported.

I see that with stgit I can `stg pop` my "persistent changes" before pushing to the remote and then apply it again with `stg push` but that requires that I use stg commands to create patches instead of `git commit`.
SHA-512 doesn’t have any issues.
Considering that the definition of "anti competitive practices" is beyond stretched at this point, it's safe to say that those very practices are one of the reasons iOS is profitable for developers: they don't need to worry about piracy as much as they do on Android, because Apple learned the key lessons of phone manufacturers of the past.
I should have mentioned some stuff specific to babies!

- Work out a night schedule with your SO. Find what works best for you. It's different for everybody and sometimes every baby!

- You probably already knew getting a full night's sleep isn't in the cards for a few months, so figure out some napping strategies. Work them out with your SO.

- Learn how to be a diaper pro! Honestly, it ain't bad until they start eating solid food - and then you have a motivation to start potty training them! :)

- Figure out between you and you're SO who's cleaning up the vomit. My wife gets physically ill at the thought of vomit. Meanwhile I'm the kind of guy who's like huh, so that's what you get when you mix Red Kool aid with pizza!

- Kids rarely make it to the toilet or sink when vomiting

- Kids projectile vomit

- Kids are virtually indestructible, once they're able to hold their heads up.

- Don't buy too many clothes and don't buy too many new clothes. They're just growing out of them anyway - sometimes in days or weeks!

- You might want to start buying formula now so you can have a little bit of a head start (modern issue)

- Don't assume your baby is going to eat the way you think they should. One of my kids refused to breast feed and wanted their bottle ice cold with extra holes poked in the nipple so they could guzzle it down as fast as possible! That's just how they ate! Everyone thought we were terrible parents for not warming up their bottle first.

- Everybody will give you loads of advice. You can ignore a lot of it, especially if they're not parents. Every kid is different. If you decide to have more kids then what "worked" for your first kid may not "work" for the second kid. That's just the way it is.

- You can take my advice with a grain of salt too! Yeah, I've raised three kids - but every kid is unique! I know what worked with my three kids. YMMV.

And - CONGRATULATIONS! Forgot that one too! New dads often get ignored as so much attention is lavished on the new mom and the baby.
