4chan pol has straight up mainstreamed most incel talking points to young boys all accross the world.
I’ve tried organic on occasion, and never felt they were any better (often not as good).

Obviously way too many variables, but anecdotally, I haven’t been that impressed with organic apples.
Why not just get written feedback from interviewers rather than adding so much drama? Yes, social dynamics can play a significant role if you pull everyone into a room to hear their initial opinions. And worse if you have more than their peers in that discussion. Instead, if you get written feedback from each interviewer first, then you can skip the entire discussion sometimes and discuss on the candidates that had support via a normal discussion. If the hiring manager has the final say, they should run those discussions (not the hiring manager's boss, as implied). Also, any company that "was trying to hire around 30 developers at top speed" has bigger problems with management than how to hire.
Neat! But if we're sticking to the source code analogy, the matrix multiplier probably maps closer to a CPU or an interpreter - I wouldn't say every Java program is open source because you have an open-source JVM.
Go provides excellent packaging, and runtime with good gc and goroutines. Those are some of the biggest investments to be made for a language.

Imagine you want all those three features without the original syntax vomit. Transpiling is a great way to leverage the underlying engine. Similar to how many other languages build on top of LLVM.

So while there is no strict lockin as js had with browsers, achieving a runtime on par with go is a huge moat to cross on your own.
Dark Matter Might Have Formed Earlier Than Thought
It depends on the store and supply chain. They seem to grow well in New York, where I live. But if you go to Walmart, you’re getting some strategically sourced crappy apple that was harvested months ago.

This time of year, my family hits an apple farm a few times and load up on Macouns, Gala, Cortlands and other local apples.
Bing is now better than google.

You're right, though, it isn't quite as good as old google.
I had a few Cosmic Crisps during the overhyped launch and was not that impressed. It was just a pretty-OK apple.

Maybe it was a similar issue - off-season and stored too long, but I haven't seen any around here in years (midwest).
It’s based on the potential for significant growth in streaming, and price increases. The major labels and Spotify agree that the price should be increased regularly - after no uplift for a decade - and as more countries begin to adopt streaming the labels and Spotify see significant potential for growth.

The CEO of Warner Music Group - the smallest of the three majors - Robert Kyncl, ex-YouTube exec, said on the company’s most recent earnings call that he believes the penetration of cable TV and SVOD is a good indicator of streaming’s potential, and currently subscription music streaming is lagging behind.

There is explosive growth in some countries that were until recently delivering little: for example something like 95% of Brazil’s recorded music revenue comes from streaming. That’s happened in a pretty short period of time.

There are currently fewer than 1 billion paying streaming subscribers across all platforms globally, but 1 billion is close. It will have taken around 18 years to reach 1 billion paying subscribers; I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit 2 billion in a third of that time. So by 2030 or shortly afterward there may be 2 billion paying subscribers and it’s likely that Spotify will continue to have the lion’s share of those.

It has deep relationships with the major labels and can use high value subscribers in developed territories to subsidise adoption in developing makers.

According to Daniel Ek, Spotify’s CEO, in the US and some major European markets the company has significantly pulled back on marketing spend, but that hasn’t really harmed acquisition - plus a lot of consumers are going from account creation to paid subscription without converting through ad-supported.

Penetration in the biggest markets is still well under 50% of the population - around 30% to 35% - compared to 50% penetration for cable TV and SVOD.

I agree that the valuation seems detached from reality - but the last three quarters have helped build people’s expectations, and the share price has gone from around $170 a year ago to $450+ more recently.

Whether it can sustain that remains to be seen, it’s a crazy multiple, but the relationships Spotify has with the major labels give it a most that makes it hard for new regional competitors to launch, and its overall offering - and marketing clout - makes it hard for established regional competitors to compete effectively.
I think that this was Paul Graham's original ambition for YC, really: a hope that some at least of the successful founders would choose to take their winnings and implement the next Lisp Machine and similar projects. Unfortunately, as with other things, winning the SV VC game just seems to incline people to either keep climbing that same greasy pole, or to do unstrenuous rich-guy things, or some combination of those two.
The first couple of years I found Honeycrisp at my local market, which would have been 2001 and 2002 (because I'll never forget a lot of things from September 2001), the apples were HUGE. More like a large grapefruit than an apple in size. They still had the great flavor and texture of later Honeycrisps, it was a huge shock compared to normal apples at the time. It may have been something with the weather that produced them like that, but man would I love to see those things pop up again.
Hi, just FYI, the Wide Angle Analytics (my product) will cost you between 30 and 90 EUR per month for 1M and 10M accordingly.

There are many web analytics providers with surprisingly high prices.

We are cheaper and even planning on creating free tier by making smart use of resources and avoiding overpriced cloud providers.
Especially taking into account the decade of systems languages predating that feat, and everything else happening outside Bell Labs.

Had UNIX been a commercial product from the get go, and most likely C wouldn't have taken off as it did.
Storage is the answer they proposed. I didn't realize that apples could be stored for up to a year.
Most of the apps I've worked on were very business oriented, and about people getting work done, rather than "website" type stuff that's mostly static. So for example, being able to refresh a part of the screen with new information from the server, is critical. Doing page reloads would destroy the experience. I have 35yrs exp so yes I've used most of what you mentioned.

I had the same thought. I mean, were they actually using ordinary floating-point numbers to represent amounts in their ledger? This sets off so many alarm bells.

WA State University (creator of the cosmic crisp) has a new apple, that has yet to be named:

My preferred apple is Mutsu, available from a few growers in the late season at my southern Ontario farmers market. According to Wikipedia it's been around since 1949, but perhaps it simply never got popular enough to face these pressures— either way, I find it consistently to be in the right place for me as far as a balance of sweet, tangy, and crispy.

I bought 6 varieties of apples from the store and taste tested them with my family. Cosmic crisp was the clear favourite.
In the 1800’s and early 1900’s, maybe…

In post WW2 America though there was increased funding from the state, large research universities, institutes and national labs could be created. In the era where all that was really working at full speed, the “big scientific breakthrough” came at such a pace that it became hard to see what was big or not.

D would fit in as well, if the community wasn't so tiny.
Right. That's precisely why full page reloads/updates every time some action is done (mouse click for example) would be completely unacceptable for most apps I've worked on. I've worked mostly on apps not websites.
A more charitable take is that OP tried to make his blogpost more accessible to newbies at a very small verbosity cost for non-newbies.

Fwiw: i'm totally fine with that.

I personally felt that the relevant design choices were explicitly enumerated, and so one needs not to deduce them from the rest of the text.
Intel will have more cores shortly.
If those new users report new problems, I think it's helpful for everyone. As an example, I helped add support for importing Adobe's ASE palettes into GIMP. Now that we have this feature, I just got a bug report for improving it. The reporter had a palette with a color model that we didn't have when testing it, and that sample enabled us to fix the import problem.
We don't drive very much honestly, and the cost of maintenance has tended to even out.

Our truck probably gets around 16 or 18 around town, up to 20 if the conditions are right. Not great compared to a modern truck with a 4 cylinder turbo, but I really don't think I go through more than a tank of gas in a month (albeit a larger 20 gallon tank)
does that make every image closed source because you need a viewer to view them?
Yeah, FIX or whatever proprietary binary fixed-length protocols (OUCH or BOE for example) the venue uses for order instructions.

Some firms will also capture market data (ITCH, PITCH, Pillar Integrated) at the edge of the network at a few different cross connects to help evaluate performance of the exchange’s edge switches or core network.
Yeah, having the read the article, my conclusion was that you should avoid honeycrisps from like February through ~August. i.e. only buy them when they're vaguely in season, or not too long afterward.

Anecdotally, I had some pretty delicious honeycrisps last night (in WA).

Or the old one, find a local orchard that sells heirloom apples! Get some Cox's Orange Pippin or some Northern Spy or some Ashmead's Kernel.
I am a liberal and also genuinely find many 4chan boards less politically awful than current Twitter most of the time.

The chronological sorting at least offers some diversity of opinion. The first 50 replies to a 4chan thread about Trump (in the right board) will usually contain many, maybe even mostly, anti-Trump posts. On Twitter you usually need to scroll through the sea of blue checkmark replies for a while to find even one anti-Trump post.

Some 4chan boards are majority neo-Nazis who want all minorities expelled or murdered. But stumble across a particular Twitter thread and it's the same thing but with even more ideological uniformity within the thread, and with 4000 neo-Nazis in the thread instead of 60.

That said, both sites definitely are not great to use if you aren't very right-wing.
Yes. Depends if it's organic for the sake of organic label. Local farmer market is always a better bet.
If its anything like our farmers market I'd bet they aren't actually locally grown.

It's really hard to unpack which of our vendors are truly local; and which just buy produce from wholesalers, slap a "Name's Family Farm" sign on the table, and pretend to be locally grown.

You'd be a lot better off going to the actual orchard, but those are often 1+ hours away.

One Sec is a good balance of running interference while not making the device unusable. I installed it at your suggestion and appreciate the brief pause before opening Firefox now.

In the US bureaucracy, if you control the executive branch you can stop enforcement which is effectively the same thing. That is an act solely delegated to the executive/president.

The House can also just not fund the particular agency.

Both of those options are more expedient than official removal.
This rankings site [1] was shared on HN a couple years ago [2], and since then I’ve switched to Honeycrisp.

While I agree they aren’t always the most tasty, they are almost always (like 98%) crisp and never mealy to the point I want to stop eating it, unlike nearly every other breed I’ve tried (which admittedly is only about 7-8 or the most common ones).

I will take a less flavorful crisp apple 100% of the time over a mealy apple.

So even a mediocre Honeycrisp is, to me, still way better than nearly all the other ones.

This seems similar to the 'ComplexAmount' system I used to use in PHP and JavaScript programs for representing measurements using mixed units. Basically just a map of unit code => quantity. And for extra exactness, quantity would be represented as a rational number.

Was useful for a client that let you place orders using a mixture of USD and CAD (the alternative being a lot of 'canada'/'canadian'/'cad' fields added willy-nilly everywhere a cost needed to be represented; I don't know how people can stand to program that way). But also for generating G-code for a CNC router [1], when sometimes you want to model in mm, and sometimes in inches, and keep all the numbers exact until the last possible moment.

If the seniors are too passive to say no faster and faster, and management is absent, the junior’s going to end up being the tech lead. I’ve seen this. :)

It’s not necessarily even bad if there is no meaningful leadership above or alongside the junior. The fast-rising junior may end up hiring developers who are more assertive and still capable.
Absolutely. Simple and fast language, simple and fast build system!
Safety is definitely a tricky tradeoff for me. If I couldn't work on the vehicle myself either way I'd have something newer, the combo of privacy and maintenance tip the scales for me (definitely an outlier though).
Basically anything engineered to grow in California, Chile and Arizona. They are optimized for shipment.

Some tomatoes are grown in hothouses now and are ok. My son gobbles them up and in the winter lots of them are from Western NY and Ontario.

Onions are definitely pushed to have higher sugar content now. Also greens that I source from local farms seasonally usually have better flavor.
I can see some advantages of this kind of editor for specific contexts, like if you’re building a shader, this UI forces you to be purely functional without explicitly teaching purely functional concepts.

But it seems like there’s also a general feeling that this is easier than learning how to code, and I guess my question is… is it? Is this really a better idea than a simple to use API with a DSL (or just a simple language like Go or Lua). Is it just less intimidating to beginners?

You still have to learn the concepts and rules of the system, in addition to figuring out cable management. It seems to make documenting your “code” a lot harder. And now with AI assistants, you’re giving up even more by not working with text.
>One path for fixing this would be to move the sql query parser inside the client library. Then internally, have the client library send optimized RPC instructions to the database. This would take cpu load off the database (usually a good move - databases are harder to scale). And it would open the door for the client library to provide other better, lighter and faster ways to programmatically construct database queries. Ideally without the totally unnecessary loop of constructing then parsing sql.

The problem here is these low level optimizations that the database is doing is freaking complicated. There's a lot of intelligence going on in the background and it's different depending on the database. We can solve it with a low level common IR but that IR will be extremely complex. And that IR will likely give different performance profiles for the same code on different databases.

I can see this being solved for one database. But not across all databases and a common api. We sort of do have a common api and we paid for it with the trade off of it being a easier high level language on top of the part of the web that needs to be most optimized.
Change policy to make smaller farm operations a viable business, and make it more difficult to build exurban homes and retail.
> how do I install and work with venvs

An unsolved problem in computer science
The problem is people want same variety any day of the year. Stocking local apples as they come is a PITA for big supermarket chains. And most people don't care enough to go to farmer's markets or local specialty shops. Let alone that usually they ain't open on saturady 22:00 when some people find time to go shopping.
FYI, `grep -l` will print just the matching filenames, no need for the sed/sort -u. `git grep` and `rg` also support this option. (I say this because I also used to overcomplicate this in my typical usage.)
I buy Cosmic Crisp when the Envy apples are too expensive, but they are slightly worse Envy apples. Everyone needs to try a good Envy.

Crisp and sweet.
With chiplets being a thing these days, I guess this is really about where in the overall system is the best place to put the package boundary and socket/pins? And then another approach to that same question would be what apple is doing with in-package ddr5 (which I think I heard amd is copying with a custom line for... Microsoft / azure I think it was?).
Quite shockingly Old Blighty hasn't been French for quite some time.
Node editors are also a good way to quickly compose fairly complex programs or modules even for experienced programmers. Working with them also forces you to design good interfaces for your code and eliminate tight coupling that often plagues many code bases. They do have downsides especially when using them to create complex workflows where they tend to evolve into ugly spaghetti monsters but you can prevent that by moving those workflows to code once you’ve settled on a design. This library seems like it would make that easy to do.

Managers heard that too but dramatically misunderstood what that phrase means.
> It does but it also seems like AMD is saying just buy one CPU, which is weird because you’d think they would want you to buy two to double the profit.

The are saying "buy a single EPYC instead of two of our competition".
They are just bad in the offseason though? New batches should be good?

My favorite is the kanzi, but it’s not really available year round. Most apples peak in November anyway
You could use a script to automate creating the modules from import specs.
You also need to be aware of how the grocer stocks.

As an example, during the peak of peach season in the region, a South Carolina Sam’s Club had pallets of California peaches!

Eventually AI systems will be able to generate executables directly.

Anyone that thinks transpilling to standard languages will remain are fooling themselves.

Like Assembly programmers always wanted to have the first generations of compilers to generate Assembly instead of machine code directly, because they didn't believe they could outperform them.
I wasn't comparing SSR to non-SSR (Server Side Rendering). As long as you can refresh portions of a webpage (or states of GUI elements), after a user action (button click or whatever), that's fine.

However the reason my Dialog Boxes open in a millisecond, and close in a millisecond too, is because I choose to render them locally. I'm not against SSR tho, as a viable concept. That's a different complex discussion where there are trade-offs to consider.
Folks are known to sell national supply chain produce at farmer's markets where they can get high prices.
To me, SeaORM feels like a well-designed library while many things in Diesel feel like an afterthought or a hack. Which mostly manifests itself when doing something complex and debugging it.

> The issue is that a lot of IoT things won't even work unless they have Internet connection and a registered account.

To a significant extent I see this as a "buyer beware" situation. Now, a lot of people aren't even really aware of the problem nor knowledgeable enough to know what to look for, but I'd expect the majority of the HN audience is both aware of and able to understand the problem enough to be capable of looking out for and avoiding it.

I personally don't mind if a device uses internet connectivity to provide a useful service, but I refuse to buy anything that requires internet connectivity arbitrarily for functionality that could easily be performed locally. The first thing I do when I think a new IoT device might be neat is google "<product> Home Assistant" and see what comes up. If there's no integration or the integration is cloud based instead of local I probably won't buy it.

IoT devices are not necessities, most of them are either luxury items or disposable novelties. You can always just not buy them. There are certainly some categories, particularly in the residential market, where it may be harder to find an option you find agreeable but its far from impossible. If every major offering in a category is bad in this way, you almost certainly don't actually need that thing.
There is basically no western economy in which most academics don't earn subsistence wages, perhaps slightly more. You basically have to make associate professor before you can have a more comfortable lifestyle. Even at prestigious universities, unless you're white hot shit that all the institutions want, they exploit their reputation to pay far less than they can afford. Its leading to the situation where those with family wealth are overrepresented in academia because they can afford to start a career there.
Hi there, while the word list will help, I think plugging an LLM to a user-facing form is still a very, very bad idea, especially if this is meant for children.
