The Lytro camera allowed you to choose how to focus the image after taking the exposure. So naturally the only way to do that was with their proprietary software because there was no suitable industry standard. It did then allow for exporting in standard formats like JPEG.

They tried to market to sports and nature photographers since it eliminated the need to focus before taking a picture. Thus they would have a better chance of capturing the perfect image at exactly the right instant. Unfortunately, after doing the software focus post-processing the images always looked a little soft. And the autofocus features on DSLRs got faster and more accurate. So there was no market.
Who gets to decide what the carbon footprint of every activity is? How is the surveillance of every activity performed? What is the performance metric to evaluate the success or failure of the system?
I have cutting board for my bread (and associated knife) that's always out next to the toaster. And since I only ever cut bread on it, I rarely need to clean it.

Bread crumbs are produced just as readily produced by sliced bread and getting even cuts isn't hard if you're doing it every day.

Though at the end of the day, it's down to a matter of taste and considering how I can very easily get bread that's miles better than any sliced bread I've tasted, for me it's easily worth the hassle.
That is simply objectively untrue.

You're correct. Now imagine that the vast majority of teachers focused more on wearing funny hats to engage students than teaching them the material - because schools paid them more for that.

If you're saying 2 billion when you know there are 'millions' your estimates are off by a factor of 2000. If you can really only show 400 results then the estimate is off by a factor of several million.

Net over a year that's all well and good but the extra wait for that dividend payment to come in will be rough for a lot of people.
Agreed with this. That's why we at VictoriaMetrics are investigating a hybrid storage scheme - to store recently added data at block storage, while gradually moving older data from block storage to object storage in background. On the query side, the requested data should be transparently queried from both object storage and block storage.
Exactly.

> Mainly because I prefer working with my own code to working with other people's. Another advantage is reducing the amount of new information I have to learn (which with the whole vanilla HTML5 stack is already vast), but maybe I'm hopelessly out of date.

The problem here is - if you need to bring in other developers. Finding react/vue devs, or devs w/ htmx, alpinejs, etc - it's going to be super easy to onboard, a custom framework you built yourself - not so much. Maybe it's easy, maybe it isn't but you will have to train new devs who work on your stuff, where otherwise you could save time/money by not having to train on things, plus is your framework well tested using jest or other testing frameworks? There could be lots of bugs that some of the bigger more established frameworks have already worked out, and especially security issues.

Right now my favorite stack is laravel + alpinejs + livewire + filamentphp (admin dashboard) -- i can prottype in a week what used to take 3 months.
Yep. A way that helps me visualize it is that a parallel curve is what you need to make a set of railroad tracks. The tracks have to always be a constant distance apart when measured along the direction locally perpendicular to the tracks - i.e. the direction of the train's axle.

I understand it is a big problem. It would be great if when property values shoot up then the rate would be reduced, keeping the payment about the same. Have the revenue go up a little over time.

Property taxes mostly pay for schools. I read a story about funding schools in Utah. The way it was done in this district was that the district was responsible and could be trusted not to waste money. They figured out what the budget they needed each year, it was approved, and then the tax rate was set to cover the budget. This would be a great situation to live in because when property values go up a lot over a few years but the cost to run the schools don't go up much, the school district lowers the tax rate instead of trying to find ways to spend all the extra money they are getting.
I worked for a much smaller SAP competitor, long time ago. Our software was horrible too, but it was good in certain departments in certain markets. So it had decent market share and revenue.

Fresh out of college, with a full two week (!!!) training on the product, I was sent to a customer place, to build some forms for them. Apparently they were not important or big enough for senior people, so I had the privilege (!!!) of building forms using our software for this client. I spent two days building the perfect form, then suddenly all the layout was lost. I couldn’t recover the layout, I call my team. They casually say our layout engine can be finicky sometimes and will refuse to work if you annoy it too much. No one told me though.

Thankfully I found another job soon.

Many of these so called enterprise products are terrible. But they’re so entrenched that it is next to impossible to beat them. They’re also expensive and their business practices dubious.
So then the followup question is, based on what do you make the claim that the team under discussion didn't build anything?

You admit that teams in this space can and do often build tools to make things secure by default or private by default, so why couldn't this team be involved inbuilding "responsible" by default?

Your argument here is basically that you believe security and privacy "blockers" are inherently of value, so a team enforcing them isn't 'inventing' blocks, but other teams are.
That still doesn't account for the scale of deployment necessary to make up for the missing power requirements (the entire point I'm making) which, if I had to guess, would make this "10x" number irrelevant, if not laughable.

For example, a quick check [1]:

> Peak power production for the coal power plant was in July 2020 (719GWh) which was also the month for the lowest output for wind (34.6GWh). In July, the wind turbines produced just 4.8% of the power produced by the coal power plant while operating at only 9.4% of rated capacity. In the month of July, it would require at least 3,764 similar sized wind turbines to replace the electricity generated by the coal power plant which was operating at just 47% of rated capacity.

I don't doubt that studies dealing in hypotheticals show that it's possible, but the reality doesn't match up. Solar is in the same boat.
> And again we're assuming that the ones we went over in the previous thread are all there is.

No one is assuming that. Like Rust, Zig has a set of unsafe operations that are well known to Zig programmers.

> How are they clearly marked, when they're neither relegated to a separate section of the documentation nor behind a switch?

They are syntactically distinct from the safe features, and they might be hidden behind a switch when there's demand for such a feature.

> As far as I can tell, the person who has gone through the most effort to isolate the spatial memory safe subset of Zig is me, in these HN threads.

So not only is disagreeing with you a fringe opinion, you're now the most knowledgeable on Zig's safety, a subject that is of great interest to Zig programmers? Those who spend the two days required to learn Zig know which operations are unsafe.

> Again, "struggling to get 1% of the market" is a weird way to describe a language that's serving billions of users right now.

Haskell and Erlang are also "serving billions of users" in the same way. The fact is that at an age where almost all programming languages (Python might be the sole exception) were in the ballpark of their all-time peak popularity, only a tiny portion of developers choose Rust. Like Zig, Rust is a language whose future success is uncertain.

Look, not everyone would like Zig, not everyone would like Rust, and for all we know it's quite possible that the main difference between the two approaches is that they appeal to different people. But trying to make Rust's design appear inevitable or uniquely legitimate for low-level languages when that language is doing poorly, or claiming to speak on behalf of a consensus where there clearly isn't one and several other languages targeting the same domain prefer a very different approach, make you sound detached from reality.

I find it a questionable choice to design a new complex language when complex languages tend to do poorly in the market, or to attempt a language for low-level programming that tries to appear high level on the page after C++'s lacklustre success with that approach, but I recognise that not everyone has the same taste as me, and I wouldn't call my opinions a consensus.
I would love to see support for it at the syntax level.

That's true, and popularizing knowledge is important.

What's also true is you get only a specific worldview and consequent narrative from these kinds of shows. They have convergent ideologies and parrot a single, totalizing, pro-capital, -moderation, -individualist method for solving the problems stated as such. It's great if you've drunk the Kool-aid but it does paper over a lot of prescient issues (climate change, culture war, etc.) on the assumption that they will be solved by emphasizing politicking and de-emphasizing economicking.

Spaniard here. Back in the day we had Slashdot (most IT/science educated guys in Spain can at least read English because of obvious requeriments on academia) and a Spanish analogue, Barrapunto (same meaning, slash/bar and punto/dot/point). A literal clone, with quality comments and lots of folks teaching and learning at.
Later, a Digg clone appeared, Menéame (lit. "shake me"), a Digg clone to share/aggregate news.

But the sad thing it's Barrapunto is not more since a decade (they plugged the servers down a few years ago) and Meneame took its position, and politic arguments took over the "geeky" environment.

I miss these days, I could learn geeky and tech stuff in both languages and chat with geniouses daily.
Reddit did the same for Slashdot, ok, but you kept Slashdot on.

Here, in the Spanish world (not even the whole Hispanic world across th pond) the legacy tech sites are dead, even for the Usenet es.* and esp.* (for latam hiers) .
You have Slashdot at least, Ars Technica, Usenet, IRC and even Fido/Dovenet.

There is most likely a very common set of patterns known to terminate, a rare-but-expected set of patterns known to never terminate, and an infinite set of rare patterns which is unknown.

Rust is doing basically the same thing. Default code is "safe", and the compiler is able to prove its correctness. If the compiler can't make heads or tails of it, you have to put it in "unsafe" - and the programmer is expected to check the correctness herself.

There is basically no significant correlation between school spending and performance. If anything, worse performing schools tend to be better funded on average. Thus, there is no reason to expect that increased school funding will translate to better performance. I hope that it makes you feel slightly better about the surplus tax not going to schools.

As for austerity, given the between-state variation, what money is spent on is way more important than how much of it is available. As it turns out, Oregon actually rakes in more money (per capita) in state and local taxes than Washington, so one should rather expect Washington to be the austere one. In fact, Oregon could send every resident a check for $1k every year, and still have 10% more money available per capita than Washington. That’s why I’m rather skeptical about governments claiming to need more money in order for X not to suck: first I want to hear an answer to “why X sucks less in state Y, which spends less money on X than you?”.
> My team spends 4 hours in sprint planning every week

That seems excessive, but I don't know what area you work in. Does your team need to spend that long? I have heard of that happening within Amazon, but then people vote with their feet and move to a team that doesn't spend four hours in sprint planning.

> Many many folks inside Amazon say it has a startup culture.

I've spent roughly as much of my career at startups as I have at Amazon. It's a bit of a mix bag. Having worked at start-ups that had to spend time doing undifferentiated work (just getting automated deployments, for example), it's in some ways nice not to deal with that, and yes, you have to follow The Process for that to be easy. I sometimes see people taking chances and acting quickly on new opportunities. But yes, I also see people not taking chances when the cost of doing so would have been small. Then again, I once worked for a start-up where you had to use a particular template for a design document, and you had to produce a project plan that 6-month long projects that was accurate to the hour. So... I think it's hard to make generalizations.
Salesforce is a crm not an erp, which is SAP's main offering, to the point where SAP is almost synonymous with its ERP product.
I think this is true in the US as well. And possibly liquor in some states (meaning a subset of the states that offer it in the first place).
You got a lot of responses telling you why Google can't or doesn't want to provide an accurate result count. I guess the logic is:

1. Google has to return a result count.

2. It can't/won't be accurate.

3. Therefore it's fine to provide a count 10 billion times to large.

The jump from 2 to 3 is dodgy and I see people questioning it. But I don't see anybody challenging point 1. Why does google have to give a number at all? If google can't/won't give an accurate result count, then they should give a result count at all. I don't care what technical limitations might complicate giving an accurate result count, that's no excuse for lying when silence is a perfectly valid choice.

Obviously they provide the count for marketing reasons. That's an explanation for the lying, but not an excuse.

I would interpret "refine your search query" as an invitation to refine my search query. Not, there are ___ results and here is the first 10 of them and an arrow at the bottom of the page to go to the next 10. That is a pretty bad way of conveying "refine your search query". A pretty bad way that happens to be flattering to the company.
The third question has an obvious answer, so I'm not sure I get your point. The first two are just saying "regulation is hard", and I agree. But it's possible nonetheless, just like every other regulated industry.

Recognize that all your questions could have been asked about, say, sulphate emission regulation in the 1970's. (Or CFC's in the 90's). And that worked out OK.

Hahaha, some SAP shill modded those facts and widely-accepted assertions down.
Right, steam turbines cost about 50% more. But a turbine for energy storage is likely to get a much lower capacity factor than a turbine on a generator, so it evens out. (Sources and math in another thread below my above comment.)
Given this definition I think you almost never really want the parallel curve though (at least in computer graphics). Its behavior on the inside of corners is degenerate and not what one is looking for in almost any scenario involving curves.

So while the authors work is certainly impressive, I would keep looking for a more useful definition and implementation of 'curve alongside another curve' than that of the 'parallel curve' (as mathematically defined in the linked Wikipedia article) before using this.
How is this not a modern flavor of bait and switch?

I think there exists a middle ground that doesn't devalue your content, sell your soul, sacrifice your authenticity, keep up with the joneses, etc. That being said, hard pass on the clickbaity thumbnails and titles. When folks suggest "jazzing things up", they might be looking for some vlogging and conversational segments. You, as a personality, are just as marketable and appealing as the content you produce. You are the brand.

An example of an overcorrection would be posting short one-off videos that address specific problems and solutions with titles such as "When Should I Apply Reverb?" or "My Top 5 VST Plugins". If producing lectures is your strong suit, well, we need more of that...
Sorry to hijack this discussion thread. I've come across your comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28425379 and I think you have brought up some really good points what modern DBs should support.

You can reach me via my twitter @stsffap.
Interesting, thank you for the correction; the part I was referring to is §5.4(c):

"A lawyer shall not permit a person who recommends, employs, or pays the lawyer to render legal services for another to direct or regulate the lawyer's professional judgment in rendering such legal services."

And §5.4(d)(3) which sort of says the same thing.

"Abstract

Optical atomic clocks are our most precise tools to measure time and frequency1,2,3. Precision frequency comparisons between clocks in separate locations enable one to probe the space–time variation of fundamental constants4,5 and the properties of dark matter6,7, to perform geodesy8,9,10 and to evaluate systematic clock shifts. Measurements on independent systems are limited by the standard quantum limit; measurements on entangled systems can surpass the standard quantum limit to reach the ultimate precision allowed by quantum theory—the Heisenberg limit. Although local entangling operations have demonstrated this enhancement at microscopic distances11,12,13,14,15,16, comparisons between remote atomic clocks require the rapid generation of high-fidelity entanglement between systems that have no intrinsic interactions. Here we report the use of a photonic link17,18 to entangle two 88Sr+ ions separated by a macroscopic distance19 (approximately 2 m) to demonstrate an elementary quantum network of entangled optical clocks. For frequency comparisons between the ions, we find that entanglement reduces the measurement uncertainty by nearly \(\sqrt{2}\), the value predicted for the Heisenberg limit. Today’s optical clocks are typically limited by dephasing of the probe laser20; in this regime, we find that entanglement yields a factor of 2 reduction in the measurement uncertainty compared with conventional correlation spectroscopy techniques20,21,22. We demonstrate this enhancement for the measurement of a frequency shift applied to one of the clocks. This two-node network could be extended to additional nodes23, to other species of trapped particles or—through local operations—to larger entangled systems.
