Are you kidding? Many other languages are as portable, if not more portable.[α] Your point would be valid in 1972, not in 2022. I can't believe you're regurgitating the same "portability" from 50 years ago, today (unless you meant it as a joke and forgot to include a /s).

[α] Languages targeting LLVM or supported by GCC are portable to every target machine code / ISA / architecture supported by those toolchains. JVM, JS, etc are portable to all the platforms they support. You don't need to do any extra work (of recompiling) if you use a bytecode VM / platform (for example, like JVM).
Do you have a link? I didn't find anything like that with a quick search, though I don't necessarily know what I'm looking for.

I did see some complaints about RDS's pricing not falling commensurate with the prices of the underlying instances. Those are legitimate complaints, but they aren't really price increases.
Not to mention a declining population in Japan. Over the past 20 years new housing has lagged population growth in the US. it doesn't take much supply/demand mismatch for a non-discretionary item to have exploding prices.

Thanks for the honest feedback. That is valuable.

I agree, this limitation 8 lines and 20 minutes if over, sounds strange.

One user from Google suggested me to make just 30 min daily or feature limited. Both of them makes 3 times smaller conversion.

Still the same choice: let it be maximum Freemium or focus on paid users who really value the product because I need to work full-time on playcode? A thin line. I do not know. Maybe it is better to take seed round.

If anyone has better answer, I wish you tell me.
Ha, that's the part that stuck?

There's one other difference between the 19 and 91 year olds that you are overlooking. It's quite obvious and straightforward why the 91-year old is hiring a sex worker. However, unless he has 24 hours of shore leave before the Navy makes him get back on the boat, the 19-year old is inherently far more sketchy.

He's in the prime years of his life for casual sex, and attracting mates. Why does he not have any friends with benefits? Why does he not have any exes, who departed on good enough terms for occasional hook-ups? Why does he not simply have a girlfriend?

The old guy is a known commodity. The young incel is a walking red flag, who even in the best-case scenario is comparatively poor and apparently wants to haggle you on your rates. I suspect that for the sex worker it all balances out well enough.

Stay yummy.
Highly agreed, on both counts.

I don’t have any kind of pre-existing moral aversion to gambling, I just think that in the form of casinos and video games (among others), it’s too harmful to both individuals and society to get a green-light from the government.
My biggest issue is the high rate of failure with fresh produce. I remember when one of my orders came in with a bag of organic sweet potatoes, with the claim that the organic Russet I had ordered were "out of stock." I was doing a specific recipe, so ended up having to go to the same supermarket from which I had just had my groceries delivered (thinking, perhaps I could get singles or non-organic).

The bags of organic Russet were right there, right next to the organic sweet potatoes.

On that same order, the bananas that came were so green that they wouldn't ripen for three weeks. When I've had groceries delivered, issues like this are the rule, not the exception.
The Master System was very very similar to the MSX computer. AFAIK, it uses the same sound chip, the video modes are a subset of the other and the only real difference between both systems was memory mapping and access to peripherals.

My hypothesis is that SEGA wanted to compete against the 8bit famicom launching something that allowed easy porting of MSX games, so the console could quickly gain a lot of good games. I don't know why that didn't materialized. It probably has to do with exclusivity contracts between Nintendo and publishers and also because the Master System arrived late to the game. This is a shame because it was a considerably powerful compared to the famicom[1][2].

SEGA killed it quickly in the US and Japan and successfully competed on the next generation with the Genesis/Mega Drive against the Super NES. The Master System had some success in Europe and in Brazil it lasted at least until early 2000's. In late 90's it got a very advanced port, considering it was an 8-bit console, of Street Fighter 2 made by TecToy released exclusively in Brazil which is very a valuable item among collectors.

I feel like I'm willing to "rent" things that cost less than $500 all the time. I'm probably unique, but I hate maintaining a printer. When my laser printer died early in covid and supply for new printers was messed up due to WFH I just printed at the local print shop. That's also what I did before I had a laser printer and anytime I needed color prints. I rent power tools all the time from the hardware store.

I recently spent almost a year in a medium sized city in Europe. The first month or two I had a bus pass, but after I had a routine I only used it for one-offs and walked most places. It was very bike friendly so it had space for scooters. If I stayed longer maybe I would have bought a bike. I walked most places, but if I was in a hurry a scooter was the fastest way to get somewhere and I used it at least every few weeks--faster than a bus. I never once thought about buying a scooter. I noticed a few people carrying them inside stores and it seemed so awkward.
Please spoil it, I've read the book multiple times and I'm looking to learn even more :)

In the past when we had to use Ghostscript for PDF processing, we always separated it out into its own process and added a whole lot of error management externally.

Even if the application was fine, you would always encounter PS/PDF files in the wild that kept stress-testing the application's memory safety.
Sounds like what I'd expect in SF, as someone from the bay area. Much better than average for the US, but still a long ways to go.

It's a mixed bag. I don't drive, so whenever I have to go somewhere I don't really consider how long it would take to drive there. But whenever I do get there by car (eg: friend or family member) it's amazing how much extra time goes into stuff that i never have to think about. Like where to park, how much the parking costs, what if we meander half a mile shopping and grab lunch? Now we have to walk back to the car instead of having a bus straight home.
Mmmm free services and VC don't really go together.

Your napkin numbers seem pretty wild, and source for how you got to 10,000, even as a reference point?
What at least the 85/86 series didn't permit (86 was almost identical to the 85) was direct recursion, which woulds fail immediately. I don't think I ever tried indirect recursion, which also would have failed. If I understand correctly, the problem was that there was no call stack (in the way every mainstream language does things anymore). So the return address location for a program was singular, if you made multiple (recursive, direct or indirect) calls into a program where it would return to was whatever the last call set the return address to. Like old school COBOL and FORTRAN where procedures were non-reentrant. Of course, I was in high school too and didn't know about the inner workings of computers like that. So I figured out how to use the list data structure on the calculator as a stack to create my own "recursive" programs either trampolining (A calls B repeatedly in a loop until the list-as-stack is emptied, indicating termination) or with loops (skip the call to B and keep it all in one program).

Limitations lead to creativity.
One place the scooters work well is in both Kyiv and Lviv, Ukraine. The app for the scooter is the same as a popular taxi app and connected to it. Simple as scan the QR code and ride away. Leave it wherever. They still work great even in war time.

Prices have remained reasonable even as the Tokyo metro population continued to increase.
That and “I walked here but I’m too tired to walk home” type trips.

It’s just mental baggage to own your conveyance (ask any driver how they feel about finding parking in any decently dense area).
Well a typical road bike weighs 8kg - 11kg so they are often lighter.

Plus you don't see people carrying around bicycles on their person all day, so i'm not sure why that's the reference for what people will carry.
Right but what I meant is you don't really need any hacks to get into a Kobo, you just plug it in, install SSH and away you go.

Kindles seem quite a bit more adversarial.

Many phones are fundamentally Linux devices too, but can't really be properly accessed without hacks unless the manufacturer allows you to.
Unpopular opinion: I know there would be other problems to solve if things were different, but I wish there was no such thing as private companies. As it is, private companies are an investment vehicle that regular people just don't have access to. It's a game of who knows who with very little regulatory oversight. Maybe early stage startups don't need a ton of regulatory oversight (they have other things to worry about), but maybe it also shouldn't be legal to have a private company with a market cap over a billion dollars.
My high school basically expected you to get a TI 83. My dad decided that it was a ripoff and we got Casios instead. Casios? Oh, nothing survived in my backpack. Nothing, so Casios.

Eventually my school got around to issuing me and my acadec teammates TI-89s.

Looking back, I still think the most useful aspect was being able to see what calculation you typed in, so you could check for typos.
They started it, failed to execute and lost prominence. Microsoft took advantage of that, and more.

So we're in violent agreement, then.

Although I was thinking of OS/2 rather than the PC itself when I cited IBM as an example, your example is valid as well. Market leadership, like control of a car, isn't usually lost but rather given up.
These devices are hardly low emissions if you compare them to walking or biking which are the modes of transit they are most likely to replace.

I had a conversation with an ex C-level employee of one of these companies, and there is no way for these devices to offset the environmental impact of production and shipping during the short lifetime of each device. The environmental aspect is a pure lie.
Your first link doesn't support your point.

It's talking about 300-500 mile trips (where you might be choosing plane vs train vs car vs bus) and it assumed 2.2 people in the car, and the bus still gets about 3x the efficiency.

I'm not going to waste my time on some Cato nonsense.
Just my opinion: Central banking is pretty bad regardless of what your politics are. The ridiculous amount of inflation and corruption in central banking, and other bad things like telling society to stop using energy to "sAvE tHe PlaNeT" and be cold all winter (while I seriously doubt the rich politicians are keeping their thermostats low!), are wrecking common people too. It can absolutely be worse. And, the theory and ideology of central banking doesn't actually stop the individual from revolting anyway.
You're thinking too narrowly about what "schema design" could mean. No, data scientists do not typically design back-end, production database systems. But defining and organizing a multi-sheet spreadsheet for manual data collection is what many data scientists spend much of their time doing (i.e., in the biomedical space). Doing that well definitely requires some understanding of concepts such as functional dependency, normal forms, and data types.
Ask HN: What was your most memorable interaction/discussion on HN?

That's strange this just trended on HN. My team is about to decide on the design of a new feature for our internal product, which can essentially be done by either using sub-modules or re-implementing them.

Our product has a somewhat simplistic git interface (behind the scenes it's anything but) and I've tried to keep it so, however lately customers have started demanding we also support submodules.

The problem is that we use git to mirror a hierarchical database, so using submodules means mirroring another hierarchy inside our hierarchy. This would mean changing the current assumptions in the code to ignore things in the sub-hierarchy except for the sub-sub-hierarchy we care about. Yeah this is hand-wavy but the design constraints I've had are kinda hard to explain.

Also, sub-modules would require changing all our git calls to take submodules into account, including cloning, reset, branches etc.

And I've read many people's bad experience with sub-modules, including the ones in this sub-thread and so now I'm afraid they might hurt our maintainability in the long run.

I've thought of a couple of ways to do this without sub-modules, including using git subtree, but all of them have drawbacks.

I've actually found a neat way to merge a sub-directory of another remote repo to the current repo - which means we wouldn't have to change any of the existing code. It involves only "standard" git commands, basically only checkout, reset, and merge (without "exotic" commands like subtree, read-tree, and whatnot). And using "exclude" to keep only the content of a single subdirectory of the remote. But it does require us to maintain a file that's exactly like .gitsubmodules to keep track of remotes. And that's the thing which git submodules does for us "for free".

Also I've developed a bad state for bespoke solutions and NIH. I already fear I have contributed more than enough NIH to my company by developing the existing solution, but given the conditions I think it was the only logical solution (a previous bespoke solution failed and was cancelled).

But the longer I read and experiment with submodules it looks like they are also a kind of bespoke solution around basic git, and essentially require changing the way you handle operations such as reset, checkout, etc. Training all our users to fix errors due to out-of-sync submodules looks like a nightmare, when they already have problems with the current solution and with git in general. So I'm really conflicted on what our current path should be.
Until you make any sort of update. Many web apps are constantly seeing updates pushed. So there's no guarantee when any particular user loads the app they will have a valid cache. Browsers also no longer share caches between origin domains, so even if App A and App B load a resource from the same CDN they won't share the cached version. On mobile caches tend to be evicted with higher frequency then the desktop.

This all adds up to relying on cached resources for page load performance is fragile at best and completely broken at worst. Relying on caches ends up with a worse experience on average because whenever a user loads the app they may get wildly different load performance based on the state of the cache.
Yeah, though I wonder if Aaronson’s writing tone is somewhat influenced by Alexander’s. At least he reminded me of him by the end.

This is also true in Berlin, but mostly because it is relatively slow to drive most long distances in the city.

They seem hellbent on having a rotten reputation. I do not know a single person who likes it other than recruiters (who all tell me they're upset about people not replying to their out-of-the-blue messages). Every developer I know either simply dislikes the LinkedIn experience, or knows about the company's shitty behaviour and despises the company (to the point of deleting their profile or not signing up).

Surely this kind of thing will eventually come back to haunt them?
I can relate. I have done my share of writing (and missing deadlines).

I don't know if I could match your velocity, though.

Good luck!
This very short list totally explain why AWS is leading in the cloud and why google will never be able to catch up.
AWS is providing services without breaking changes for more than a decade most of the time. Google on the other side is deprecating everything faster than your team can refactor your infra & code.
Thanks @dang. You are awesome.
Existing residents don't want apartments because they block sunlight, they cause overcrowding, they don't fit with the neighborhood's style. Frankly, as well, renters & especially landlords don't tend to take care of property or invest in the community as much as owner occupiers do, because the incentives aren't there for either of them to do so. It's not the renter's property and they can be kicked / priced out of the neighborhood at any time, so why bother to invest in it? Any investment in making your space nice means the landlord can hike your rent. On the landlord side, they know they're going to find another tenant as long as the unit is habitable enough, so in comes the "landlord special". I know this isn't universally true by any means, but the incentive structure is there.

In apartment buildings that are "transit-enabled", every apartment usually has 1 car, maybe 2, and those cars flood the local street, making quality of life worse for all existing residents. Those apartments are more likely to own cars as we look at places that are more car-centric. In suburbia, an apartment building usually comes with a huge parking lot for all the cars, which isn't great, but it's a little more palpable for people living in the area already.

fwiw almost 95% of my time scooting has been while traveling, and for that it's a great way to cover lots of ground in foreign places.
A busy London shopping street probably has 1 person per second walking past in each direction on each side of the road. That's 3600 * 2 * 2 people per hour. And those scooters seem to sit idle for at least an hour between users. Some of them sit idle for days at a time.
I'm sorry to say, but if you think that you can provide a counter example to the statement "there is no strong correlation" with one single additional data point, you've grievously misunderstood how correlations work.

C is not inherently unsafe. Sure, it hasn't "memory safety" as a feature. But there are loads of applications considered safe written in C. An experienced C programmer (with the help of tooling) can write safe C code. It is not impossible.
I kind of have a secret about this: if you’re an accredited investor, you could 100% take short positions on these shares by borrowing shares from employees and seeking them in one of the random secondary markets that’s out there.

It’s just no one does because the asymmetric downside of going naked short on companies with low market caps (“uh oh, Uber just bought this company for 10x my strike price because xyz stupid reason”)

If you want to get really complicated you can write puts, but good luck pricing them and finding enough liquidity.
> instead of solving the things citizens disliked about them (sidewalk parking/riding, inexperienced riders, rapid expansion) the companies decided they should just take the Uber approach and bulldoze any opposition with money.

Are these two mutually exclusive? They probably would love to solve the problem of sidewalk riding / inexperienced drivers, but that's a very hard problem to solve.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I am friends with people with tens of millions of dollars in crypto and they aren't cashing out. If you listened to people on HN none of them would have stuck by their investment. Crypto is a multi-generational project.

And some people like NFTs just like they enjoy baseball and Pokemon cards - it's for collecting, except they can also be used programmatically in software. NFTs are for entertainment.

I think you are just woefully misinformed and know essentially nothing about what is going on here, but the HN karma is pretty nice.

Lucky might be subjective. Standard of living in the suburbs of American might be deemed superior to living in an efficiency apartment in Hong Kong, but that's much less an option for people who live in areas that developed later on, as these areas leaned into true urban levels of density since it's infrastructurally far cheaper per capita. Given the choice, many would prefer to not live in New York levels of density.
That's a helpful perspective, thanks for sharing!
I don’t see either of your sources showing public transit is more fuel intensive than a car. The first report assumes 2.2 people in a car which I don’t think is an actual average and a greyhound bus was 4x more efficient than the car.
This is one of the most clear examples of bias in favor of leftism that I've seen on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_marxism

> The term "Cultural Marxism" refers to a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory which claims that Western Marxism is the basis of continuing academic and intellectual efforts to subvert Western culture.

I feel like a lot of actual marxists would disagree with this statement. People like Antonio Gramsci, who basically laid the foundations for cultural marxism in the early 20th century.

Oddly, if you read about Antonio Gramsci on wikipedia, they all but call him a cultural marxist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Gramsci

> Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class – the bourgeoisie – use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies.

Also, the last time I looked at the cultural marxism article, it simply said a "far-right conspiracy theory". Now they've somehow managed to roll up antisemitism in there too. Apparently it became antisemitic in just the past year or two!
