Sounds like a power cycle would fix it, so not so bad. Mild annoyance :)

It would be the same, except

- Kroger isn't 50% of all grocery stores on earth

- Kroger paid money up front for your potato chips

- Kroger isn't charging you for storing your potato chips

I am Amazon, and you sell cat mugs. I offer you a "sold by Amazon" contract, which you accept.

I start manufacturing my own cat mugs, and sell them at a price that undercuts yours. You have no way to change your price, so your mugs no longer compete effectively with Amazon cat mugs. Most of your sales go away, because Amazon is so dominant as an online marketplace (NOT as a cat mug manufacturer).

This is anti-competitive because Amazon used its dominance as an online retailer to become a dominant cat mug manufacturer.

"Docs" is broken :) How can I learn about the language, aside from the examples?

This scratches a peculiar itch that I have which isn't quite addressed by other solutions (codepen, stackblitz, replit, etc). Can you import libraries at all?

https://www.cncf.io/the-childrens-illustrated-guide-to-kuber... is a famous example.

> Was he abusing policy?

Yes. Here, abuse means misuse, which must be interpreted relative to the intent of the ones making the policy (or else it's meaningless). The intent is clear: for customers to be able to return the item if they are not satisfied. It is not a borrow/rental policy.

The main changes this extension addresses were made because of a settlement with Getty Images.

I find myself wishing for a CLI "design system". For example, given a script that calls some APIs (reads and writes) and does a couple of calculations, what is the best way to use color and space to produce understandable and useful console output?

Sure, but being in the middle 10 percentile in height(or some other dimension) would serve to "normalize" the sample; so 400 people are close to the center of the larger range. Despite being close to the middle of the range, some dimension is far from the center of it's range.

Yes, the correlation is not as strong as I would assuming -- that was really the point of my comment. You are a sample size of one, so your anecdote doesn't mean much. However, based on this work, apparently almost everyone has a similar anecdote: after normalizing for height, there is another common dimension which is "unusually" large or small.

That last bit seems to be the Crux of why this is so surprising -- being in the middle 50% on some dimension correlates positively with being in the middle 50% on the other dimensions, rather than each dimension being independent as in your calculation. It's difficult for me to reconcile that, for the 400 in the study within 5% of average height, each was a standard deviation away from the mean in some other measurement.

Life of Brian? Lots of Babies? Library of Barcelona? Linux on BeOS?

These lists are great for getting us to consider our assumptions, bit I wish more of them had links to read up about the domain a bit more. For example, I know a reason that there may not be 86400 seconds in a non-DST day -- leap second implementations may not smooth that second out over a longer period, but instead add a literal extra second. But I want to read about that to make sure my knowledge is complete, and I'd like to read about the ones that I may not believe or agree with.

As part of an older generation, it took a while for me to understand how the specificity of emojis is an improvement over regular emoticons. I found myself thinking in terms similar to the author, and I find that somewhat ironic. (I also find it ironic that my mother, of an even older generation, skipped right over emoticons and uses a lot of emojis.)

This is as though Apple were hotlinking his images -- they are being consistently used in a setting besides that which was originally intended, without permission (or even attribution).

Disclaimer: I work at Google, but not in Analytics.

I'm not sure that the comparisons here are apple-to-apple. The first graph compares "visits counted in WP Engine Blogs" versus "Sessions counted by Google Analytics". How does WP Engine Logs count visits? Analytics uses a specific deduplication scheme for sessions -- e.g., a user visiting twice within 30 minutes only counts as one session.

There are ways to explain how visits would show in logs but not in analytics, but I find it difficult to believe that 2/3 of these blog visitors are using a tool that blocks requests to Analytics.

Resizing the panes is wonky, I want my money and bytes back! :)

Honestly, really cool demo.

It would be hard to call Pittsburgh underserved -- Google, Amazon, and Uber are all there.

Man, you sound pretty grumpy about it. I'm pretty sure that the author does not mean "just like Java but with no types". Python is all about the syntax (and it's certainly not all about "math-friendly" syntax), though the syntax was an interesting choice. "Fixing JavaScript" means different things to different people, but I take it to mean that crayon differs in some aspects that annoyed the author about JavaScript.

Notice that the author was rather effective at getting us to think about the features of these languages and how crayon fits in.

It must be vague to deal with unforeseen challenges of the future, just like the Hippocratic oath. A lot of the difficulties we encounter today had no analog 30 years ago for most programmers, and who knows what quandaries will arise in the next 30?

p and t are implicitly defined cardinalities (i.e., the smallest cardinalities with given properties). See Definition 1.1 of the source article (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5424.pdf)

The article is misleading on this point. The Continuum Hypothesis says that it is undecidable in the standard axioms whether there is a cardinality between countable and the continuum (i.e., the cardinality of the real). This work shows that p and t are different, which also means that t is of greater cardinality than the reals.

"Free as in beer" is a phrase (loosely coined by Richard Stallman) to indicate that something does not cost money. This is as opposed to "free as in speech", meaning that it comes with no restrictions.

Some folks need the extra gigabyte of RAM, but that must be a very specialized group.

Instance hours come into play when, for example, you run multiple versions of an app that get traffic, multiple instances for handling high load, or if you have separate front- and back-end instances. A typical user only has one instance going at a time, so no more than 24 instance-hours. (Instance hours have been a thing for at least a couple of years.)

"another" = "an other"

Seconded -- need better documentation.

Also, the demo instance has some injected javascript, so commenting on the dashboard sends you to a pornography site.

In order to be a presenter at a conference with enough visibility that they receive six good applications for each slot, you must have already been a presenter.

There's a distinction between the software itself being excellent and the team being fast-moving.

I disagree; I clicked this to read it and was dismayed to learn that I had read this YEARS ago. Most posts are brand new content, so all old content should be marked, I think.
