Its confusing, but in this context it is just another way of saying 'huge'. 1000 is a bigger number than 10, so 1000% feels bigger than 10x. The exact numbers don't matter here, so thats why I think people will keep using percentages.

If you want to associate with the people at YC, it probably makes some sense to behave like the kind of person that people at YC are likely to want to associate with.

The Adchemy’s investors were funding a lawsuit against a startup. I imagine from YC’s perspective, that kind of thing was considered bad for the ecosystem.

By which I mean nobody involved was going to make money. There’s no blood in a stone. The lawsuit was not in anyone’s business interest. The article states it was even contrary to an unwritten rule of the startup culture.

Reading the following part confused me, since that's how I learned and I don't know Mr. McIntyre:

> But my Scrum friends reminded me that stand-ups were never supposed to be status reports. They said that an evil elf named Yesterday-today-no-blockers McIntyre spread that lie around the industry long ago, and people have been confused ever since.

So I did some digging in the resources from the ScrumAlliance. There I found:

> The three-questions format was included in older versions of the Scrum Guide but no longer appears in the updated guide.

So what to do instead? I also found this snippet which I think is useful:

> The daily scrum is not a status meeting or status report. The purpose isn’t for a scrum master, manager, or stakeholder to see who is on schedule and who is behind; instead, it’s an opportunity for self-managing team members to synchronize with one another.

I know VMWare works great for a lot of people, but it was always just a thorn in my side. Almost a decade ago my small company moved from VMWare to ganeti, and we've been really happy with it.

At the time we were running a SAN and the small VMWare Essentials license. But managing it with Windows was painful for me personally, and our HP SAN was kind of painful, every year like clockwork it would just stop processing until we had remote hands reboot it. And every year they'd tell us "Try this firmware" to shut us up for another year, until eventually the product reached EOL.

We had been running ganeti in our dev/stg cluster for years at that point (and the python.org infrastructure was using it at that time as well), so I decided to transition us to local storage running VMWare and then to ganeti. Doing local RAID array monitoring on VMWare was quite painful at the time, maybe that's gotten better?

I absolutely love that ganeti has such a good suite of command-line tools for operating. I have a small shell script that respins half our dev/stg infrastructure every other day. Our entire critical infrastructure is HA at the machine level, so we don't play around with anything like live VM moves, we just do offline moves. I used to do the drbd-based replication and live moves, but the doubling of disk writes and committed disc usage wasn't worth it for us.

Proxmox is on my radar if we needed to move away from ganeti, but so far we are looking like we'll stick with ganeti.
> Haskell is just too far from what we expect

Who's "we"?

I spent years writing JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby. I thought Haskell was weird and hard, and probably not practical in the real world.

As it turned out, I was just being a fool. Once you actually learn it, you realise how silly the opinions are that you had of it before you learned it.

Advent of Code is running right now. Why don't you just try learning the language?

I think you’re trying to fit this into an exclusive OR when it really is AND. Unless the developers strongly warned management about the lack of idempotency and were ordered to continue anyway, they share the blame for those bugs even if they were not part of the conspiracy to cover them up (this also goes for anyone involved in those hot fixes trying to patch up errors without telling the customer).

More broadly, your idea that this is solely a management problem is how we end in situations where developers are being told to unquestioningly code some design exactly as given, which never works. You don’t get professional judgement if you don’t accept responsibility, too.
I visit Knepp a few times a year. There’s a great circular loop you can walk, and I’ve seen plenty of trees with stork nests—an amazing sight to see firsthand.

Yeah, I worked on that but I didn't think that would count since it was a distro, not a desktop environment. In that case Novell shipped compiz in 2006 so even earlier.
i never understood, even 15 years ago, why people still use vmware when so many open source (i.e. virtualbox) systems existed at the time. The fact that Broadcom buys it out and then 10x the price on people is just even more reason to move to open source. As noted in the article, the open source solutions are 2x faster anyway, so they customers can realize a 2x increase in slices per server.
I thought (based on some posts I've read on HN) that Lisp was the "culprit" for that.
I've said this before on here and I'll say it again. The QEMU code base is a nightmare. The amount of fake C++ is mind numbing. Every time I come across a variable or strict declaration or method with the word "class" in it, I'm reminded of how much easier the whole thing would've been with C++. You can't even compile C++ into QEMU because of how the headers use keywords. That's not even touching their macro abuse template functions. You know what has templates and classes? C++. And constructors. There's just so much.

All this to say: if Rust can make it in, that's great, because I'm tired of dealing with C's simplicity for more complicated tasks. I'm not a rust user but if it lets me use classes and templates, I'll switch over
Yes, it's quite important to know your audience for this (also, Hearts is in some ways a good example, because someone who knows what a trick-taking card game is will very likely know Hearts in the first place, it being one of the most well-known examples after probably Bridge).

> In your example case: split the string into a list of words, that is tokenize based on spaces.

You've made a common mistake. You're wiring your listener's thinking with the imperative inside-out approach that you're used to. Instead, it should be explained as this: "strSum = sum . map read . words" is "a sum of all parsed values of the original input of space-separated words". The reason you should avoid inside-out explanations is because in Haskell you're allowed to move from general ideas to specifics, and you can sprinkle `undefined` and `_` for specific details whilst thinking about general ideas and interfaces.

> I don't have much issue with buying vitamins, because I take them with me.

Nevertheless you do have to remember to pack them, and you need to regularly replenish your stocks. I'm guessing that this replenishing happens at least as often as every 6 months, which is how often you need to arrange the injection in question. By the sounds of it you do a lot of travelling, so you may need to anticipate cases where you are away at the time you would normally replenish stocks.

> you resupply as you would at home

How does that happen? You notice how many pills are left in the bottle, and make a note to order more when it's getting low? Or immediately make an order there and then?

I know I'm being really pedantic, but I'm trying to illustrate why many people would perceive daily pill-taking to be strictly more labour-intensive than a 6-monthly injection.
> if you're trying to decide whether to get a game, do you read the rule book?

Yes, I bought spirit island since I liked the rules after reading them online. They were so simple yet fun.

> I'd put that after videos of play, which are by far the most useful thing for this

In a video you wont understand what happens though since you don't know the rules, you are just seeing them move around tokens on a board with little context. I don't see how you can understand if the game is fun or not based on that. It is like evaluating a computer based on watching a video of someone using it over reading the specs, nobody does that you read what it does instead.

It takes a hour long lecture to explain a concept that you can learn reading 5 minutes in a book, reading is much faster at getting information, watching takes less effort but also gives you much less understanding.
That’s just another word for overreaching regulation.
I've used both of the languages previously for my own fun and private mini-projects. From a perspective of an clueless outsider, OCaml was so, so much better to start with than Haskell.
I've always been fascinated with Haskell, but it took me around 5 years of attempts to finally get the tooling to work. Some parts always failed me, especially language server and vscode interaction (hardly something to put blame on haskell itself though).
Finally I braced myself and with some hacks (like bash code in haskell comments in Setup.hs) made it all work. Still, to the day HLS would repeatedly hang or not start, and the only solution is to restart vscode. Of course, there could be a problem with my setup etc, maybe I configured it "slightly incorrect" way, I'm just rating my experience.

OCaml was everything opposite. I made two Ocaml tours in recent years, and both times it literally just worked (tm). Granted, I've been using it less than haskell, but the experience of starting out is just heaven and earth.
The only issue I have with ocaml tooling is that ideally I'd like to run the language server for real-time hints from the compiler, but also be able to invoke my program interactively. Unfortunately it seems you either have to run "dune build watch", or you can build and run, but not both as there is some locking happening.

As far as the languages themselves go, I'd say haskell is more "fun", in a way that it has a lot of features, and it reads a lot nicer (unless it's point-free code). Monads are pretty fun, although when I finally got through Monad transformers I started feeling "I wish we had no monads tbh"
Ocaml feels much more barebone, syntactically less appealing and somewhat clunky. On the other hand there is a kind of spartan appeal to it.

Honestly, I like both of the languages a lot and wish for them to continue their development. I can certainly see myself using both in the future.

The problem is simply that the definition is a lie.

I’m not suggesting that we add numbers or change the definition from undefined. I think undefined is a more accurate description of x/0, because x/0 is clearly far greater than 0.
For the metrically challenged, pounds are a unit of force not mass.
Even worse, people who say ‘3 times less than’ (which would be n - 3n = -2n) when they mean ‘one third as much as.’

And of course, the worst people of all think that one third is less than one fourth.

Personally, I blame the widespread usage of decimal notation rather than fractions. The so-called ‘metric’ system (a misnomer, because every system of measurements … measures) bears a lot of blame here.
A less charitable (but I'd argue, likely more correct on balance of probabilities) is they're aiming for the larger customers who are so entrenched in their use of the VMWare product stack that they can't feasibly migrate without taking a huge one-time hit to their balance sheets.

Is there an equivalent tool for Obsidian?
If RealPage is used by 1/5 and sets a price at $1,000 then there's a new higher anchor price that the other 4/5 not using it will look at and think "I could make it this high", the first few apartments at $1,000 will have a disadvantage but by creating a higher anchoring point the prices will gravitate towards that. The more people setting it at $1,000 because they see a few listings at that price will move the price point towards it.

Why would the anchor be $1,000? It's supply and demand after all. The $1,000 apartment would just sit there and miss out on a month of rent or not get rented at all.

But if enough of the market (4/5) uses RealPage and refuses to lower the price, then it is collusion.

1/5 is hardly a problem. The 4/5 will get rented first. The 1/5 might lower the price eventually or risk not getting rented at all.

> and everyone is familiar with "recipes", or step-by-step instructions... which is the same as imperative code, not functional.

everyone is familiar with "I don't know how exactly, but generally it would be this way..., we can discuss specifics later" which is the same as reading the above pointfree notation (sum . map read . words) verbatim instead of imperatively inside-out: something is a sum of all parsed values of space-separated words.

> I'm not a rust user but if it lets me use classes and templates, I'll switch over

Yer not switching any time soon then. Rust does have methods but not classes (QOM’s inheritance is specifically called as an issue in TFA) and it uses Haskell-style generics rather than C++-style templates.
Why are you pretending this is a binary outcome?

There are plenty of use cases where this is a great starting place to be able to jump in and start to ask questions.

I have worked on a variety of acquisitions where I didn’t need to have 100% certainty, I just needed a starting place to make sense of some bizarre home grown financials and something like this would’ve been great to be able to quickly probe and come back with thoughtful questions.

Instead I spent my time either tediously figuring out a schema or waiting for someone in finance to come back with ad-hoc analysis that also had a bunch of errors.

"1000%" isn't much more than 900% in the grand scheme of things, it's just 10% more - and that's before likely rounding errors it conveys the scale.

Both seem like excellent options for their use case. At that point, every small benefit helps make a decision. Even the support pricing doesn't seem too far off if you have a reasonably sized cluster.

Both are projects with over a decade and a half of development behind it, both use similar virtualisation architectures, and both have easy to use web interfaces, with distributed storage options and cluster management tools.
