I think that if you are encoding data, like your example, you should not use attributes, attributes are best used when you are using xml in it's text markup role.

In the text markup role tags are like functions and the attributes are parameters to the functions. but in the data encoding role the attributes are another redundant key value store and you end up with a confusing mix where some of your kv's are in the tag and some are in the attributes and it is a bit of a mess.
I said as much here at the time; Walgreens wanted to close stores to cut costs (and perhaps to meet the costs of settling opioid sales litigation), and had said so in SEC filings earlier in the year.

But 'crime wave shuts down stores' was an easy story for many news outlets to run with during an election cycle. An interesting parallel data point was that Fox News coverage of crime dropped by more than half in the weeks following the election: https://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-violent-crime-coverage-elec...
Ask HN: How do you make money with your open source project?

That's not a fair comparison. The argument is more like a version of dropbox that's only used by programmers and owned by a company programmers should hate. And the rsync is capable of doing full multi-directional sync. In that scenario the hypothetical dropbox loses a ton of value.

The KPD (German communist party) held the official stance that the SPD (Social Democrats) were fascist. This was when the actual NSDAP were still a fringe minority. After the war, when the Berlin Wall was constructed, its official name in East Germany was “Antifascist Protection Rampart”.

It’s hard not to notice that in official Communist usage even before WWII, the term “fascist” typically meant nothing other than “enemy”, which is how a lot of modern leftists use the term today. I can even find instances of anti-Stalinist leftists calling Stalin a fascist, which is fair enough to me!

To add to the confusion: A Meta account is not a Facebook account. Meta accounts are specifically to get access to Meta's metaverse. So basically it's a newer version of the old Oculus accounts.

I'm not sure, as a road user, how you've not encountered traffic situations that changed from perfectly normal to dangerous very rapidly. Sometimes an obscured vehicle could pull out, or a child, or some other obstacle, can pop out of nowhere even on an otherwise quite suburban street. The examples are too numerous to mention, and certainly many would be capable of confounding an AI.

Right.

A guy at the pizza place I worked at handed me a cassette called "Reckoning" for a band called R.E.M. Literally changed my life.

I'm sure a lot of others have stories like that.

Same guy asked to borrow a cassette of mine one day — said he wanted to dupe it. It was well known then that the only thing worse than a cassette was a cassette copy of a cassette so I made some sort of comment to that effect. "It will sound better than your original," he said smuggly. "My tape recorder has dbx."

Okay.
> If you don't mind reflashing a player's firmware and sometimes a bit of hacking, Rockbox supports many (mostly old, unfortunately) players, but by being Open Source and not tied to any proprietary cloud or similar service, it doesn't prevent the user from moving and/or sharing their music files, since the players essentially become USB drives without any restrictions.

> I installed it on both my Sansa Clip Zip players, and kept it until the day the last one of them died. Unfortunately I couldn't find a new device for installing it and had to settle for a cheap player with surprisingly good hardware, but also the crappiest firmware I have ever seen.

I still have some Sansa player with rockbox, used it for podcast and helped developing such functionality (podcasts/player support) in one media player app. But then I switched to Spotify, and lost interest in helping.

The proportion really depends on 1) the quality of what the AI generates, and 2) expectations imposed by the society - in particular, how consumption of AI-generated stuff is perceived as a matter signaling of one's social class.

I get that advice regarding podcasts all the time. All the podcasts, from anywhere, tens of thousands of hours long in totality

I don't really get how someone can feasibly ask other humans to spend hundreds or thousands of hours doing something outside of personal skill building with a straight face.

To me, when I hear that kind of suggestion, it comes off as the same kind of thing as "Oh, you're religious? Have you read all of the worlds' scripture?" -- of course I haven't, those kind of decisions require a prioritization of life's time in order to accomplish; it's not really feasible to expect that in other people.

The premise behind mass-produced trite television like weekly variety/sketch-shows/tonight-shows is that a bystander can 'catch as catch can' and jump into the activity and enjoy it with others with little to no experience in doing so. It helps to alleviate alienation in those that lack the willpower or ability to be an insider with the crowd and watch the show in entirety.

I feel like the 500+ episodic podcasts, with their in-jokes and nuance, kind of forget that responsibility in favor of audience niches and fan dedication -- which is fine, but trend left me at the shore.

back to OP : what to do on a long drive? Listen to some non-distracting music, stop at interesting local places to eat good food and share good company, visit, enjoy the scenery and whatever company you might have, and be safe -- you'll have plenty of time for productivity whenever else; don't hyper-optimize.

I have a couple basics I know by heart in awk, sed, and grep and those things enable me to be quick doing all sorts of stuff I need to do for large datasets on a daily basis. cat user_uuid_list | sed s/$/,/ sort of stuff. or anything tabular looking where I want specific columns (awk). maybe there are better ways, but I don't really care, as this works for me, is available everywhere, and I will never forget how to do it. I also use python for lots of stuff!

Just kidding. Yea, unfortunately I think a lot of people are suffering in the age of overtooling. Need a notes app, department X is using OneNote except for Mike, who is using Notely. Department Y uses obscure Markdown notes app with great PKM linkage, but no one outside of their group understands it (tbh, neither do they)...

Notes are just the example that I landed on. I'm sure the bigger tech companies have experienced this for awhile, but it slowly disseminates to other industries as well.

Maybe I'm just using HN as therapy, but things seem to have gotten over-complicated and under-defined. A seemingly endless churn of new tools.

Trying to work with my team (management team) on standardizing SharePoint setup, file structures, notes, etc. but it is really hard to get everyone on the same page.

It's nice to see such a nice functional/detailed design around an organizational tool.
I suppose it's good of Walgreens to come out honest about what they think about their data in regards to inventory. I don't think they were necessarily wrong to attribute retail shrinkage to theft/shoplifting though. There was definitely a surge in shoplifting and reselling of merchandise within SF that we didn't see before the pandemic.

While the shoplifting per population may have gone down, it may have gone up in the aggregate since SF definitely had population influx from 2015+ (and before).
http://www.cjcj.org/news/13219

I feel like these figures are also muddied since SF didn't really try to enforce the shoplifting laws that had value of $950 or less (Prop 47). Perhaps someone who's more knowledgeable about these laws & statistics could chime in?
Too long didn't see the whole thing.

Does the video only consider sampling and reconstruction from the samples, or does he talk about quantization noise?

That I can perfectly reconstruct a band limited signal from samples taken above the nyquist limit is basic signal math. But any ADC is limited to a finite bit depth and this does introduce errors.

Not a signals guy, but I guess this is what the bandwidth theorem is about (snr vs signal power ratio or something).

Anyway, Im sure 16bit from my CD is perfect enough for anyone's ears and (obviously?) better than vinyl or cassette. But dammit I like analog music for the same reason I like my mechanical watch - I can really understand the full stack wholly.
They did not compare with the Wright Bros, but with their 5 blade prop. The Wright Brothers propeller was extremely inefficient at the speeds the test plane is flying, so don't take the 90% number at one speed and compare it blindly with a very different speed and behavior. Did the Wrights have cavitation or supersonic tip of the blade speeds?

I am not surprised by cassette comeback. It is portable and analog format. Metal tapes can reproduce Hi-Fi sound and record lots of audio. If you want to keep your music listening experience entirely in analog, vinyl+a decent tape totally make sense. Also saves your records. Vinyl records are often less compressed and mixed differently than digital releases. I prefer that, when music actually has some dynamic range.
Btw, there are a bunch of free websites if you search youtube to mp3
LVT is economically simple, just politically impossible, especially at a scale that would make a big difference (i.e. replacing income tax with land value tax).

> But it also creates a huge incentive to block development on a town level to keep taxes low.

Wouldn't the town as a government entity be incentivized to foster development to raise tax revenue? The only people who I could see might have an incentive against development is property owners in parcels near the ones being developed, since their land value and therefore taxes will go up; but usually those same people will benefit from the additional economic activity that comes from development, so I'm not convinced.
I didn't write the article so I don't care either way, but I think the British Empire was a thing totally on its own. Probably (probably, I'm not a historian) because its technology (both physical and organizational) was so much more superior to the lands they invaded that the normal "laws of empire physics" didn't apply.

In Australia (and NZ, and Canada, and the US, and probably in South Africa to a certain degree) their mode of operation seemed: reduce the locals to nothing (even worse than Spain), then build a fully Western-like society. Clean slate, mostly self-governed by white people who are not inclined to fight with Europe (with notable exceptions, obviously)

In India - although I don't doubt for a second they killed many many people - they seemed to operate more like the Golden Horde in Russia: as long as you pay the taxes (and occasionally provide more stuff when we run out), you can keep your culture and be governed by your local warlords, because it's just too tedious to kill all of you at once. The British did seem to have a bit more sway though, for example when they kicked off the partitioning, millions of people started moving. However, largely it seems like a brutal but mostly hands-off rule (based on mutual benefit with the local elite?)

What they did in Africa was something else, I've read books about insanely remote places like South Sudan or Zambia, and what were they doing there is hard for me to understand at all. But again, the gap in technology between the local people and them was so vast that they could do whatever they wanted without much coordination with the capital.

The Romans and other empires of the past were different because they didn't have such a huge technology gap. In case of Romans, you still fight it out with spears, swords and bare hands, and they tended to take over the lands completely, and impose their own gods, order and culture, which is much harder to do with a similar level of technology and does require coordination with the capital.
Neither.

Native SQL syntax is not very uniform, and it prevents parts from composing easily. String manipulation is fiddly, even with nicer (named) parameter substitution.

A typical tutorial ORM approach, with mapping relational data to objects, and then allowing to add data manipulation methods to the objects, and especially to override save(), kills most of the advantages of relational databases. It is particularly bad when you need to reach for parts of rows, or do updates on multiple rows, or even selects with more more complex conditions / joins.

The sweet spot is a library that allows you to easily describe tables, and write composable, terse statements that translate to SQL.

In Python land, for instance, both SQLAlchemy and Django ORM allow that. They allow more but I usually avoid making table models rich.

SQLAlchemy is the most composable, Lego-like of the two. You can, for instance, factor out complex conditions and share, mix and match them between various selects, updates, deletes, as needed.

Django ORM excels at being terse and describing joins in a select without even mentioning them, just referring to other tables via double__underscore, if the relation is already described in the table models.

Both operate with result sets which can be not only fetched but also combined. You can write a select (or .filter in Django) and e.g. give it as a parameter to another select, and the ORM layer will rewrite the result as a single query with appropriate joins or sub-selects.

You can easily issue updates to multiple records without fetching and hydrating a single one of them. It's a massive performance improvement compared to the naive ORM approach where you operate on DB data as if it were objects in RAM: a loop to fetch, update, and save each object.

You can easily limit the result set to the particular set of columns you want at the time, and avoid hydrating result sets into full-fledged objects which may be too large or unnecessarily nested.

You can of course sometimes use "proper" objects formed from relational data, when you need to compute something interesting from their attributes for rendering / reporting. But I try to avoid even that where possible.
