I'm really excited about RethinkDB, and am using it in my (yet-to-be-launched) startup. The new changes() support seems very interesting for my app, but for my use case I'd need several queries open per user (probably on the order

Do you have a source? I don't understand how a closure over a single variable (this), instead of reassigning the value of the variable in a specific scope, would result in a 50% improvement in performance. Also -- the phrase "50%

Did you read the article? Bonuses that they only receive if they stay for a certain period of time.

They didn't say they disagreed, and in fact there is very little consensus about food science. Even the article says that the process by which the time-restricted diet functions isn't well understood.

Right, because that's how democracy works.

Not really. It's basically just a means of using ClojureScript with React. That comes with some great stuff (immutability, for one), but AFAIK it doesn't change anything too dramatically.

Looks like a nice implementation of a good solution to a real problem. Kudos.

I have experience with this. We started a company based on a product written in C#, and were acquired by a company by a company whose product was predominantly written in Java. It was never really a concern during the acquisition. The softw

Well, I'm just some guy on the internet. You really have no idea what I think is important in life, so withhold your judgement. You're probably right that I overestimated the amount. Since frugal investing isn't my goal in li

Your advice of living frugally and investing is good, but since you need, let's say $5M, to retire in your 30-40s with the expectation of living the same lifestyle, "a few years" is much longer than you might think.

Politicians can't refer to social programs as "welfare" because it carries a negative connotation, and people on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will be uncomfortable with being grouped with those on SNAP. They also c

In the United States, the term "welfare" is typically used to refer to need-based social programs like SNAP (food stamps), as compared to things like Social Security which are available to all citizens after a certain age. Politic

I'm no expert, but if your dog is talking to you, you may have bigger problems than the tone in an open letter from Tom Preston-Werner.

There is limited ability to trace transfers by examining the blockchain, but there is no way to cancel or reverse a Bitcoin transaction. Most online wallet services, including Coinbase, offer no explicit insurance against unauthorized trans

I think boomzilla was talking about electronic bulletin boards, i.e. BBSes and the web-based forum replacements that grew from them. (And it's an apt comparison -- forums remain an important social aspect of the web.)

Once you reach a certain level of skill and experience, like Schneier has, you sort of outgrow titles. I'd say he's a researcher and an educator.

If it was possible, annualized gains from the stock market would be much higher than 7%. If there was a way to consistently get 100% YOY returns on an investment, someone would be getting rich on it. I'd happily pay someone 20% -- hell

There are very few investments that will yield 100% in a single year, let alone consistently. If you know of them, let me know, because I need to reallocate my portfolio.

In that case, it seems odd to allow the original post title of Why Hacker News should use a different Deterministic Algorithm, Not a Random One but not jedberg's.
