nix + home-manager will get you pretty good coverage for non-commercial software. The learning curve is steep but once you get there it's amazing.

Do you find that it just pushes the argument "up the stack"? And now instead of the discussion being about the code you're arguing about which outcome would be less astonishing? It seems like it would move the conversation

In a statically-typed language you’d just get a compile error. The compiler knows the types of the values in the map and whether or not the (+) operation is valid for them. You’d likely need a little more code than what’s in the GP post,

Basic YAML, sure, but YAML has some insane features that I don't think would be possible to replicate in JSON. Or, at least, you'd lose some information in the conversion. For example, YAML supports the concept of reusable fragme

I thought solid state Lidar was still under development, at least as far as cheap mass production goes. Is that not the case? Or is that just true for lidar that’s powerful enough for self-driving cars? Or is this not solid-state lidar?

Because insider trading laws in the United States have nothing to do with "fairness" (note that this isn't true in other countries). In the US insider trading laws are about misappropriation of information and the victim is t

Yes, that's what happens, although "best buddy" is really "company that pays us the most for the orders." I am not sure if you meant it this way but "best buddy" implies that something shady is going on.

Then this solution sounds like a huge improvement. Instead of getting to the register and finding out you grabbed the wrong thing or overspent, which is a huge inconvenience to you and the other people in line, you can now track everything

One thing I did to combat this was refuse to allow any recurring meetings on Fridays. I almost always end up with a couple of one-offs but I can usually put those at the start of the day. Typically this results in 6+ hours of uninterrupte

Or maybe there's a kiosk where you can fund your account with cash? I can imagine a bunch of ways to both accept cash and also have the Go concept. But I don't know, I don't live in Seattle and haven't ever been to a

Does Seattle allow for stores that don't accept cash? I know NYC recently passed something that said you can't run a credit card-only store as it excludes the unbanked.

Cool. We're an enterprise B2B SaaS company that does a ton of data interchange with our customers. Each project burns a bunch of engineering hours and calendar time because customers send us data that doesn't match the spec or w

Any plans on a hosted version? Either regular on prem or as something that can be privately hosted on e.g. AWS like DataBricks or Snowflake? I love the idea but we could never expose most of our data to a public SaaS. There are all kinds

With the introduction of Spectrum you can back a Redshift table with data in S3 directly. I'm not sure how that interacts with the materialized views though. Probably not supported yet but I would expect it to be eventually.

Not sure how the featuresets compare but AWS is releasing materialized views for Redshift sometime soon and one of the things it will support is incremental refresh (assuming your view meets some criteria). I'm sure Materialize is bett

Interestingly even in your link you can see that most of the money values (subtotal, total_fare, total_charged) are strings but for some reason total_owed is a float. Presumably someone messed up but it wasn't caught in code review.

Yup I switched about a year ago because I liked the CarPlay interface the best out of [Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Subaru Built In Maps]. And the privacy over Google Maps is a huge bonus.

No one disagrees that code needs to work in steps. The conversation is around how much and the answer is going to depend on what you're doing. Why have a function that prints a whole line? Isn't that just smashing together a bun
