Not quite the same thing, but I had a senile biology teacher who looked for any pretense to deduct points on papers. For example, when you reported data from lab work in tabular form: "points off -- these numbers don't have units". "But the column headings indicate the units -- that would make it redundant!" "Not good enough."

Sutter Health vs. Blue Shield: War of the Gargantuas
As a kid, I could never understand why so many stores were only open during the times when most of their potential customers were either at work or school. Sure, you could skip school or take an unpaid day off work to spend money, but that cost you double. So most of those stores are gone now, replaced by 24-hour wal-marts and internet shopping.

When I grew up, I worked night shift for many years, which at least enabled me to get to the bank, doctor, or specialty stores occasionally by skipping sleep. It was still irritating that they weren't open on my nights off, but at least then the bars were. On the other hand, I couldn't very well go to the bar to hang out after work because there's still a bit of a stigma against hanging out at a bar drinking at 8 am.

I'm all for taking days off and having time slots reserved for family, etc., but inconveniencing everyone else and forcing other people to conform to whatever hours/days you happen to want is just obnoxious. In a society where we can't all afford to hire servants to do our errands for us, people want things that they can't buy because the businesses aren't open, and there are tons of unemployed people who could be working if those businesses were open, it just doesn't make sense to arbitrarily force them to close against the will of the owners, potential customers, and potential employees. I'm amazed that these laws have lasted as long as they have.

I worked at SpaceX from 2010 to 2013, first doing software development on our manufacturing operations system, then later on on our telemetry/time-series platform. I think I averaged between 60 to 70 hours a week, which includes weekends if we need to support test or launch activities. In retrospect, that seems like a lot of hours, but it didn't feel like it because the work and the mission of the company is so inspiring. Elon was the final interviewer when I joined (I don't think he is doing that anymore) and he was explicit that working at SpaceX takes a different level of commitment.
> The tiny tab allows gravity to cause all the pullers to hang in the same direction as they fall into a rail toward the left.

The explanation above makes it sound like the pulls are getting re-oriented (flipped around) which is not what I see in the video.

I think a clearer explanation is this:

The pulls are aligned 50% tab-right (good) and 50% tab-left (bad) as they approach the feeder chain (or rail at the left as the OP calls it).

The tab-rights fit into slots in the feeder chain and proceed to the next assembly step.

The tab-lefts don't fit into the slots and simply drop away into the rotating pan below (from which they presumably return to the pot and make another attempt at the feeder later on).
> My question is, is there a real use-case for Turing-completeness inside a C++ compiler?

If it isn't Turing-complete then there are some things you can't compute with it. If you want to do one of those things which could be computed at compile time then without it you would have to compute it at runtime. Which means it has to be computed on every execution rather than once by the compiler and if there is some logic error in the code you may not discover the error until that code is actually executed rather than having the compiler find it for you.

It also has the potential to save you a lot of duplication. You're basically asking the compiler to run a program to convert your C++ program into arbitrarily many similar-but-not-quite-the-same C++ programs, algorithmically. Because it's Turing-complete you can do any transformation with it. There is no edge case it can't handle which could cause you to need to write and maintain 500+ nearly identical copies of the same code instead, which is what can happen in e.g. Java.
> but do people know why MySQL is lagging behind so much

Because for 99% of the MySQL user base there isn't a need for these features.

Those using MySQL at scale are using them as dumb key-value stores with horizontally sharding. Those who aren't typically are using them with an ORM and so they aren't dealing with the database at the SQL layer.

Everyone else who is manually writing SQL generally was on or moved to Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server, PostgreSQL etc anyway.

> Firefox must be the best browser there is, in order to fulfill its mission.

Does caving in to commercial pressure and adding unpopular (for its core audience) features like DRM advance it in that direction, or in the opposite direction? I believe "more of the same" isn't going to help it pull ahead, it needs distinctive features such as more privacy, fewer ads, or even a strong anti-DRM stance.

As a (former) large-ish website owner I have to disagree with your assessment. Even browsers with 5% market share (Firefox has 15-20%) have the power to influence design decisions and thus counter browser-based DRM adoption, except strong de facto monopolies (like Google, youtube) that can make or break browsers by supporting or excluding them (youtube has even more influence than Google search currently because of its unique content). It's true that Firefox was simply too bad to use for a couple of years (cue conspiracy theories about Google being their main source of income and desperately trying to push Chrome), but it still had power due to its large user base.

You can sort of upgrade hashes in place at the cost of extra book keeping.

Take the old hash, and use it as the input to a new stronger hash. Mark some column to indicate you've done this. Then next time the user logs in, you calculate the old hash and then the new hash from that. Once you validate the password use it to calculate a new new hash, put that in the field and clear the update column.

I live in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, nothing is open on Sunday, by law, except the occasional café or restaurant[footnote]. And it's a total pain.

Combined with the quiet time laws, which mean that, say, I'm unable to use the vacuum cleaner on a Sunday, it means that I can't even do much housework, and am pretty much forced to relax. So is everybody else.

The end result is that if you go out on a Sunday, you don't meet anyone who's working. Parks are full of people not doing much. The mountainside paths have people walking. The roads don't have much traffic. The entire country is quiet and peaceful.

So, while not being able to shop on Sundays is still a pain... I can see the benefits. Having a day where the entire country isn't working definitely adds to the texture and flavour of the society.

[footnote] Shops in railway stations are exempt from this, the result being that major railway stations tend to have multilevel shopping malls built under them, but even in the land of ubiquitous public transport they're still incredibly inconvenient to get to.

The article notes that Germany bans shopping on Sundays. Indeed, many European countries ban stores from being open at certain times of day or on Sundays. For the sake of curiosity I will attempt to elucidate the various restrictions, and exceptions to those restrictions, that we have in Norway.

* Since 2003 (before which stores could not be open past 21:00), there have been no restrictions on opening hours on weekdays. Most supermarkets and grocery stores in urban areas are open until 23:00 -- a few are even open around the clock. In a lot of Europe, the common closing time for grocery stores seems to be 21:00 or so.

* Stores are, in general, not permitted to be open on Sundays.

* Since 1998, stores with a floor area of under 100 square metres, and only those that primarily sell groceries, have been permitted to open on Sundays.

* For petrol stations, the floor area limit is 150 square metres.

* If a store is judged to be in an area of particular interest to tourists, it can open on Sundays regardless of floor area.

* Before major holidays, stores can open on Sundays regardless of floor area. My local grocery store interprets this as allowing it to open on all Sundays in December, but perhaps curiously, most stores do not seem to open on Sundays in December.

(* There might well be more restrictions and exceptions that I'm unaware of.)

* The current government planned to lift all restrictions on opening hours on Sundays, but after opposition from the major supermarket chains (virtually all supermarkets/grocery stores in Norway are operated by a handful of chains) the plans were put on ice.

A lot of this comes down to the contrast between the ostensibly rights-driven American politics and the more consensus-driven politics in many European politics. While in the US the government openly cooperating with major businesses to ensure their smooth operation without any major disruptions would probably be seen by the general public as corruption, it would not be seen (and is not seen), in my opinion, in that way in much of Europe -- but rather as doing what's necessary and natural to ensure the smooth functioning of society. Not just with regards to the grocery stores themselves, but also with regards to the values of society. A lot of people, even many who are not religious, see the "resting day" as a value that's worth preserving, and ditching it in favour of the right to keep your store open whenever you want would widely be seen as very foolish.

But what happened to netflix when apple said no plugins? They made it an app.

The whole idea behind the no flash movement was to move services that relied on a plugin, away from the web and onto the app store.

Apple wasn't fighting for free technology, they were pushing users onto Apple's own version of EME.

Let's imagine all web browsers drop flash, silverlight, EME and all the other common technologies used for DRM. What do you think netflix will do on the desktop? Will they move to pure HTML video or will they start building desktop apps?

The real hero of programming is the one who writes negative code. - Doug McIlroy

You're not to come up with a simple design through any kind of coding techniques or any kind of programming language concepts. Simplicity has to be achieved above the code level before you get to the point which you worry about how you actually implement this thing in code. - Leslie Lamport

Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you've finished using them. - Doug McIlroy

2.- About: web/dev/programming leads, jobs and RFP

3.- Very focused, less than 10 leads.

4.- Daily delivery at ~6am.

How much would you for a monthly service like this? 4.99? 9.99? More?

I wonder if they get new ASIC designs before they ship to consumers. I'm remembering buying mining ASIC and then actually getting shipped them much much later. We thought at the time that they were being held back and 'burned in' at a big mine run by the manufacturers mates. This would explain why they are so hush hush about where the devices come from...

If the ASICs already bought and shipped to consumers later, they would be effectively free!

Alternatively they might be using the low chips that failed QC and never shipped - they might burn out eventually but if you are running them yourself you can be prepared for that.

I wouldn't contest this (a pesos being a piece of eight or a Spanish dollar). I would muse, given a 1700 years history of currency symbols denoted by a letter with an extra stroke (or, in some rare cases, as a letter with a hook, like the Florin), it would be a bit strange that the sign for the pesos/dollar would have originated in a totally independent evolution of its own. (The octopus eye of currency symbols?) It seems more likely that a proper sign with a stroke was sought for and the reverse of the coin would have been of some assistance. The "Ps" would have been a different usage, like the concurrent use of "ƒ" and "Fl" for Florin/G(o)ulden, non-withstanding mixed interpretations. (But this is just my opinion.)
Yes, definitely, we'll add support for this.

(Also, it is very likely that we were having issues: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9018638 , I guess loading players for 5-10 streams shouldn't hurt that bad)

I would like to say that my business is my top priority. But it’s not. Taking care of myself – body, mind and spirit – is. But when I take care of myself then the other parts of running my business fall neatly into place.

Three times a week I meet my personal trainer at 7AM for strength training. I usually dread having to wake up this early and it doesn’t come cheap either. But I know that the money, time and effort I spend here at the gym will let me sustain the crazy output needed to keep my startup running afterwards.
I would also say MySQL was adopted by lots of people because for a long time it had a better replication story then Postgres. Easy to setup replication was a pretty killer feature, even if it didn't always quite work as expected.

It's 'fake' in the same sense that 'investing' in say, trading cards or some other good mostly backed by the interest of the public to buy it is. In fact, it's very much like stock for quantities of stock too small to have a meaningful impact on corporate operations.
You can't easily change $20.00 to $200.00. You could try changing it to $20.000.00, but that would probably overflow whatever box it's written in, since the amount is usually right-justified to begin with.

The decimal point protects the right edge of the amount, while the dollar sign protects the left edge.

Similarly, when people write out a number in English on a check, they often write "Twenty dollars only", not just "Twenty dollars", in order to prevent other words from being added to the end, e.g. "Twenty dollars and a hundred". (There's a nursery rhyme that goes "four and twenty blackbirds", so writing the smaller number first is clearly not unheard of.)
