41,799,901 | comment | Supermancho | 2024-10-10T15:31:06 | null | > The US need never formally default on its dollar obligations, as it can simply print dollars<p>The assertion was that bond holders would hate for the value of the maturation currency to fall. This is true, regardless of the currency origin.<p>Beyond that, printing more dollars or defaults, would influence USD value to some degree, but would not guarantee a decline in overall attractiveness.<p>One of the pillars of US hegemony is OPEC appointing USD as the preferred trading currency, over the last 50 years. Another is the industrial capability that the US exercised in WW2. It demonstrated that the US is capable of incomparable mobilization, growth of production and innovation, when properly motivated. | null | null | 41,799,643 | 41,798,027 | null | null | null | null |

There are plenty of cases where execution ping-pongs (if that's a verb) between python and the C(++) wrapper numpy actually is.

41,799,908 | comment | owyn | 2024-10-10T15:31:29 | null | Yeah, Wikia in aggregate was in the top 50, maybe a top 20 site at various points. Wikia was built on caching. From my memory, about 99% of page views hit some kind of cache. If that dropped down to 97%, servers started to suffer. It's good to remember that the Fastly CDN company is a spinoff of Wikia, it was developed internally there first. Without that (varnish cache plus lots of memcache) Wikia would not have been able to handle the traffic. Mediawiki is horribly inefficient and one reason why Wikia was attractive as a host was that we had figured out a bunch of tricks to run it efficiently. The default configuration of mediawiki/wikipedia is real bad. Bigger independent wikis just couldn't handle the scale and many of the best independent wikis moved there for that reason. Just as one example, every link/url on a page hits a hook/callback that can call into an extension literally anywhere in the code base, which was several million lines of PHP code. I remember the "Batman" page on the DC wiki used to take several minutes to render a new copy if it fell out of the cache. That was one page I used for performance optimization tests. The muppet wiki and the lyrics wiki also had huge performance issues and fixing them was some of the most fun engineering work I've done. Every useful feature had some kind of horrible performance side effect, so it was always a fun puzzle. I also hate landing on a Fandom wiki now but thanks to the actual editors, it's still got some good content. | null | null | 41,799,375 | 41,797,719 | null | [

Tree-shaking algorithms could have a “noDynamicAccess” option that errors on such use (only viable for applications, not libraries). Alternatively, the algorithm could be integrated with the TypeScript compiler API to allow dynamic access in some cases (e.g. where the `anything` function in your example only returns a “string literal” constant type or a union thereof, instead of the `string` type). | null | null | 41,796,327 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

41,799,915 | comment | troyvit | 2024-10-10T15:32:03 | null | Speaking to search, both DDG and Kagi seem to be doing fine, each with very different models. Google could figure out something there.<p>Google ads would be fine on its own. They'd continue to dominate.<p>Google Analytics would probably have a problem. The big thing going for it is that it's free. Without being able to funnel their data hoovering into the rest of the ecosystem they'd probably lose that. If they _did_ have to charge, would they release a simpler tier that isn't so mind-bogglingly complex? That'd be nice.<p>Docs? Yeah, I don't see a way forward with that unless they charge a lot. There are some competitors, but they suck, and they struggle, and google docs seems one of the major nodes of interoperability between a lot of their products. It's be really hard to replicate that if you're broken up.<p>Calendar. Hah. Well. Everybody gets to suffer given that google calendar uses its own protocols. It's not like everybody could just switch to DAV and have close to the same functionality, at least out of the gate.<p>I agree with you re: Chrome and Android, but I will say that current FOSS forks of Android seem to do well. I think they have enough runway to continue making a good product. It would put phone makers into a bind, but I personally think their suffering is also a good thing. Fewer phone makers == less e-waste. Maybe people start holding onto their phones for a few years.<p>Honestly I couldn't care less about Chrome, except that I hope it does die. But Microsoft could take over the engine and use its hegemony to continue funneling money into developing it.<p>Firefox would be in a tough spot. They'd have to find another sponsor. I know they've been trying to diversify but I think we'd see a very different browser from them within 3 years of the breakup.<p>The good news is that there is no shortage of oligarchs to help pick up the pieces. Which is good because I bet Alphabet is going to start whinging about "massive layoffs" soon. | null | null | 41,793,933 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

41,799,927 | comment | kwillets | 2024-10-10T15:32:58 | null | One additional thought regarding query performance is that content-defined row groups allow localized joins and aggregations which are much faster than the globally-shuffled kind.<p>If the sharding key matches (or is a subset of) a join or group-by key, then identical values are local to a single shard, which can be processed independently.<p>This type of thing is typically done at large granularity (eg one shard per MPP compute node), but there are also benefits down to the core or thread level.<p>Another tip is that if no shard key is defined, hash the whole row as a default. | null | null | 41,779,144 | 41,779,144 | null | null | null | null |

41,799,931 | comment | warangal | 2024-10-10T15:33:13 | null | Yes, trigram mainly but also bigram and/or combination of both are used generally to implement fuzzy search, zoekt also uses trigram index. But such indices depend heavily on the content being indexed, for example if ever encounter a rare "trigram" during querying not indexed, they would fail to return relevant results!
LSH implementations on the other hand employ a more diverse collection of stats depending upon the number of buckets and N(-gram)/window-size used, to compare better with unseen content/bytes during querying. But it is not cheap as each hash is around 30 bytes, even more than the string/text being indexed most of the time ! But its leads to fixed size hashes independent of size of content indexed and acts as an "auxiliary" index which can be queried independently of original index! Comparison of hashes can be optimized leading to a quite fast fuzzy search . | null | null | 41,799,377 | 41,797,041 | null | null | null | null |

Yours is just dependency injecting a type, which is more avoiding the existing types in the library. That would be the “wrapping” option I was talking about. You don’t need to extend the types if you’re just going to dependency inject them. You could just have an entirely separate object that you pass around at that point. | null | null | 41,796,067 | 41,764,163 | null | [

Food that expires is inventory that’s <i>not selling</i> for some reason, or it wouldn’t be on the shelf long enough to expire. It’s taking up space that could instead be used for other inventory that <i>does</i> sell well. So even inventory that doesn’t expire at all will get put on the discount rack to get rid of it, or finally thrown out if doesn’t sell even at a cheap price.<p>The best way to avoid waste is to only buy food that actually sells, the quicker the better. Easier said than done, though.<p>Also, even greedy supermarket execs need to worry about their store’s reputation if they sell people food that doesn’t taste right too often. | null | null | 41,766,997 | 41,765,006 | null | [

The question upthread was whether it was OK for the compiler to <i>optimize</i> the code to return a constant zero without actually reading from the pointer. And it's not, because any reasonable implementation of "wait for" will defeat aliasing analysis.<p>You're right that if you try to write async code with only compiler instrumentation, you're very likely to be introducing race conditions (to be clear: not <i>necessarily</i> on architectures with sufficiently clear memory ordering behavior -- you can play tricks like this in pure C with x86 for instance).

Most portuguese people think this tax is "only" 11% because the rest of the tax is "paid" by the employer. Average people don't understand that if your salary was supposed to be 1000 and you get only 650 after tax you paid 350 in taxes even if your paycheck says your pretax salary is 800.<p>Note: the income tax is paid on top of the social contribution, so is easy to end paying 50%+ taxes if you are in tech.

41,799,991 | comment | soggybutter | 2024-10-10T15:38:04 | null | Totally fine to paint in broad strokes, and I would probably lean towards that perspective myself. However there are some games that show off the programming more than others, at least in motion. Movement based games, like technical platformers or similar, have a lot of expression through the systems that govern them. Whether or not a game feels good is fairly easy to figure out after spending some time with it, but understanding what would make it feel better and how to achieve it is a much harder skillset to develop. Obviously non-programmers can work out in high level terms what might improve game feel, but I think you can get much better results when you have deep understanding of how things work, what's possible, and what side effects may fall out of a given change.<p>That said, some of the most fun mechanics are born out of happy accidents involving interactions that weren't fully considered so it's definitely not a constant | null | null | 41,787,466 | 41,779,519 | null | [

They are required by law to dispose of certain old/damaged/discarded foodstuff and are not allowed to sell it for human consumption. Likely a second company (and possibly a third, since storage and hauling may be done separately) was hired to store the food in a container and to haul the food away as trash. The company signed a contract stating so.<p>Now you<p>1. entered his property (trespassed),<p>2. entered a dumpster (a second trespass possibly of a second business),<p>3. removed goods (theft), and then<p>4. passed/sold them to others (violating untold food laws)<p>and then are surprised someone tries to stop you!<p>Worst of all, consider if, while dumpster diving, you hurt yourself or even died? The food business would be sued and his insurance company would likely pay. You would have nothing to say about the decision to sue: your insurers and/or medical providers would pursue litigation against the food vendor even were you to oppose their actions.<p>As you can see, in this interpretation there is no particular question of what one or another person "deserves". Rather it is a question of law, property rights and civic responsibility. | null | null | 41,785,213 | 41,765,006 | null | [
