> Throughout most of R-BBQ’s existence, Rodriguez has worked other jobs as well, first at the health clinic in town, then at the school district. His heart was in the restaurant, but he was cognizant of his father’s railroad pension and the stability it provided.

It says right in TFA article that the owner works other jobs to support himself. No doubt restaurants are a tough business. Lots of businesses fail. Should we subsidize every business in existence that can't make the economics work on its own merits?

I'm sorry people will lose the restaurant they love so much, but apparently not enough to pay the higher prices it would take to keep it open. Times change, economic conditions change, businesses come and go. That's a natural part of the economy and life. Things don't last forever, especially if you're unwilling to face reality and do the things that are necessary to make them last.

> Since the beginning of the pandemic many incredible and beloved restaurants in my city have been forced to close due to lock downs, landlords raising rents, rising costs, etc.

Yes, I've heard of many of these. It's always a person who went to the place once 2 years ago and is sad now that it's closing. Guess what you can do to keep local restaurants open? Go to them and buy food!
> IMHO, the whole CC business reeks.

The thing that's always a problem: the bad actors get lots of practice at being bad.

The individual honest consumer who needs to chargeback or the innocent merchant who's getting scammed is doing something they only do rarely, and so they're bad at it.

The scammer customer or the subscription-fraud-dark-pattern merchant has honed their practices to win chargebacks.
I don't think we should discount what he says because he's a prosecutor or what you have to say because your moniker is "public_defender".
Till recently, Go lacked generics. Aside from that, it has a GC that is pretty nice to work with. Manual memory management is semi-supported, using C interop instead of native language constructs (from when I last looked into it).
They're meant to be serving him. Instead, he was serving them, propping up their sizeable enterprise at the expense of his own (solo with meagre profits ~$20k/y).

The boost in sales since could've been achieved with a modest revamp or be entirely unrelated.

I don't think anyone at his scale should be paying $175/hr for custom illustrations especially when they look like the placeholder illustrations used in every startup template these days. For something specific like illustration, don't trust a random hire from the agency - go via UpWork or similar and find a freelancer whose portfolio you can vet in advance.

He should've used a well-designed Shopify theme for $300 and instead put money towards product photography. That'd get it 90% of the way comfortably and he'd have $40k+ still in his account. (I say this as a 20+ year web designer whose career has been eaten by platforms and templates.)

What specifically would you change? They talked about the important failings of the GPU drivers, and it's not worth giving many specific numbers when they're likely to change before release. They also can't evaluate the whole package properly until a price is announced.

There's not really anything intel could be hiding here that's worse than the big performance issues they acknowledge. And I'd much rather have this kind of preview than nothing.

It's actually hilarious how downvoted this comment is, considering how close it is to another sentiment that's actually popular (ie. make the same point, but make it about labor costs rather than evil corporations raising prices. Both are based on the claim that if a business isn't profitable enough, it shouldn't exist in the first place.
> I will let you come to your own conclusion as to how the latter could lead to the former.

Given that I know the size of these discretionary funds, I can practically guarantee it didn't. For context, my manager recently stretched his discretion to the limit for a coworker, and was able to bend their salary by around half a percent. A few hundred dollars isn't going to retain anyone at a FAANG.

Yeah, I had 2019 9570 XPS biggest piece of shit laptop I ever owned. It ran so sluggishly, I tried everything fresh windows install, dell diagnostic, bios update you name it. It made so much noise and would hang up all the time. The wifi card was terrible too.

Later I found out that batch of XPS were prone to failure. They do this “power-saving” thing where they never shut down completely. So for that reason you weren’t supposed to transport them - wtf?? I would carry it in a bag sometimes to university and you would feel it randomly turn on with the fans whirringe. From reading lots of dell support threads, it seemed like dell qc was really hit or miss. So much variation between batches.

Anyways that experience gave me ptsd for high end windows laptops and I got a M1 Air few months ago. It’s been a way better experience so far. It does laptop things really well imo. Nice display(huge!), lightweight, good battery life, great performance for everything except gaming(don’t bother). I press the on button and it instantly picks up from where I left off. That’s huge coming from xps, I would turn that shit on and wait anywhere from 1-10mins, with no guarantees that id be reconnected to the wifi. I even got a high end windows 11 laptop from work that’s more expensive then my M1 and it feels sluggish.
Your hypothetical is of course possible and good to keep in mind, but in this case:

https://www.meatpoultry.com/articles/26162-tyson-foods-repor...

Compared to 2021:

It looks like they increased the price of beef by 31.7%, sales decreased by 6.2%.

For chicken, they increased the price by 19.9%, and sales increased 3.6%.

It is possible I'm misreading things though, I'm definitely no economist.

> Adjusted net income for the fiscal first quarter was $1.12 billion, a 140% increase from $467 million, reported in Q1 of fiscal 2021

> Operating income more than doubled from $705 million for the first quarter of 2021 to $1.45 billion in fiscal 2022.

> Sales for the quarter were $12.93 billion versus $10.46 billion during the same period in 2021, an increase of nearly 24%.

In any case, if people have decided to replace beef consumption by chicken consumption -- economically I guess it is probably a little worrying that people feel the need to switch to the cheaper meat, but health-wise it is probably a win. So, silver lining!

Sometimes you want a company like Facebook or google deliver ads to your potential costumer, but you don’t want, that the ad company knows how much product you sold.

You know your ROI, but your ad company doesn‘t.

I heard multiple stories from amazon, that hey still let the ad campaign or targeting running even if you bought the product for random times so external companies could not get insight in your businesses.

If you got the washing machine you will not click to buy another. If you pay per click, it makes no difference how long you let the campaign running if it is targeted.

Ask HN: Is there any other interactive n extensible low level pl except forths
what does interactive and extensible mean?
interactive -> you have an optional repl that can be used to test and program stuff, or you have an environment like smalltalk
extensible ->syntax can be extended like in forths and lisps
low level -> you can write an operating system, a gui library, high performance code, etc in this language with relative ease.

a low level interactive n extensible language will be very fun but it will have few problems like the backend must be written from scratch or you wont be able to extend the compiler, etc.

Both bee_rider and InefficientRed's comments were clearly about the general effect and not the specific restaurant mentioned in the article.

Regardless, the fact that Rodriguez has to work another job to support himself doesn't make it a 'side project'.

Are you really disregarding the content of my post because of a made up scenario that you're attributing to me?

In 2020 a beloved Syrian cheese and dessert shop, owned by a refugee, was forcibly evicted because their land lord tripled their rent. The lot remains vacant to this day. Was this personally my fault for not buying enough cheese?
I disagree. Here on HN, I generally read the comments before reading the article because I'll usually get a quick idea of whether the article is worth my time.

This doesn't work well elsewhere, like Reddit, but it does work here. Comments will, at the very least, steer me clear of wasting time. I'm guessing I'm not alone, though.

I've seen so much torturously complex code to coerce an ORM or query builder to generate a query that would've been simple just to write. Because "that's the way it's done" - Spend 5 minutes writing a query and then 5+ hours trying to figure out the convoluted code necessary to coerce something to generate that same query.

Of course, there are times when query builders are necessary to create the queries dynamically depending on parameters. But it's all too common to see them used and abused even for static queries.

People are just plain afraid of writing SQL. Or they think it's 'best practice' to use an ORM or query builder and using actual SQL is somehow 'wrong'.

Even people who know a decent amount about the database do it anyway because "that's the way that it's supposed to be done" or "that's 'best practice'".

Large companies do pay software vendors to fly out and deploy new browser based software at their locations.

I don't know where the parent worked, but I expect the rates are 120€-180€ (company billing, not your salary). It's just that most other companies pay smaller salaries as there traditionally was very few tech companies with competitive pay. It's been slowly improving though.
It’s just cost-plus pricing. Tyson needs to tie up money in inputs, production, and distribution—money that could be put to work elsewhere.

Your conclusion is completely at odds with this quote from the article:

Rust still needs unsafe blocks for full generality. Additionally there are many sources of panics that are unavoidable. The memory safety guarantees it makes are also not all bugs. It is equally possible to write a memory safe program in both (although far easier in rust), but impossible to make a panic-safe program in rust without avoiding a large portion of the language.

A guarantee of the absence of certain classes of memory bugs is of no use to creating a 100% correct program if it also comes with a guarantee of panic on allocation failure and standard libraries that are full of panics.

They are for different things. Rust is for keeping you completely safe from the worst things while you build something big like a web browser where the program doing something you didn't want is the worst failure state, and crashing is a mere inconvenience. It is there to replace C++

Zig is for making it possible to make yourself safe from all bugs if you try hard enough. It is for making small things that you understand fully where crashing is as bad or worse than memory errors like the firmware for a space probe. With the addition of some static analysis tools it could maybe replace or be useful in addition to something like Ada one day, and definitely replace C and some hand coded assembly.
> I know it's heresy to say on HN, but it's been my observation that there are a lot of people who run businesses not to get rich, but to enrich themselves.

I completely understand this. If you have money, why not run a business that either breaks even or loses a sustainably low amount of money? Making money for the sake of making money is as absurd as chasing political power for the sake of holding political power. Both involve confusing a means for an end. Money and power are only worthwhile if you can use them for something worthwhile that you care about. Otherwise, what's the point of putting in all that effort to obtain a means if you don't actually want to use it for something?
> Less than two years later, Oregon is suffering through the predictable results of this experiment: overdoses are skyrocketing, violent crime is rising, and virtually nobody is getting treatment.

This is also true across the country, the vast majority of which have not decriminalized anything.

And if property crimes are rising, the real question is why the people committing those crimes are not being arrested and brought to Justice.

You don’t need to arrest people for drug possession to prevent them from committing multiple real crimes. You need to arrest them for committing real crimes.

Which reveals the real attraction of drug arrests. They are easy. Which allows the police and the prosecutors to goose their numbers and look like they’re doing something, as opposed to solving and prosecuting real crime, which is harder to do.

In our startup it seemed to be a case of the CEO wanting to be "in charge".

He could have gone for showing competence, gaining the respect and trust of engineering, and being a source of understanding and compassion to a group that was working crazy hours trying to meet impossible schedules. Instead he decided to beat us up.

It did not go well. I was gone within a year, as were a number of other people. The company kept making crappy decisions, got bought for a song, and eventually my sweat equity (and real invested dollars) ended up as 17 shares of Oracle (fuck me, I hate that company).
I used to work with Hertz at a shady Tribeca ad agency. Some schmoozy account exec had convinced them that view based conversion credit was equal to click based credit. So a programmatically bought banner ad, even unseen, had equal weight to an active customer searching and buying.

This is incorrect in two ways. First, Zig certainly has undefined behavior. Any non-memory-safe language trivially has UB.

Second, this implicitly assumes that terminating on OOM is not "correct" behavior, and handling OOM is the "correct" thing to do. But if there's nothing better that the app can do than to terminate on OOM, then terminating is the correct behavior. Many apps fall into this category. There's also the fact that OOM code paths tend not to be well-tested, so empirically aborting on OOM is a safer default.

Here's another simple way to put it: if politicians only focused on what you call "minor things we disagree on", voters can simply and easily vote them out. But voters don't think those are minor issues, it's just that you don't personally value them. Abortion, for example, is hardly a "minor" issue, for many it's a matter of life and death. You may think marijuana is a "minor" issue, but for others it's a critical crossroads that will determine the future of their community and country.

Politicians don't have mind control powers, there is no mechanism to make voters "hyper focus" on issues that voters themselves consider minor. If voters focus on something, it's not minor to them. All you're saying when you dismiss these politicians' focus as "minor things" is that you either don't know or don't respect the decisions of the voters they represent.
