dminor··on Event Sourcing (2005)
I often find myself wishing for some sort of small scale durable log, so that this pattern was easy to implement in a small app backend without standing up something like Kafka.
dminor··on GitHub Copilot is not infringing copyright
> If I use Copilot and it suggests a large block of GPL2'ed code for my project, which I then include, then that is a GPL2 license violation

Not necessarily. Even 11k lines of copied code might fall under fair use, as Oracle recently discovered ;)

dminor··on GitHub Copilot is not infringing copyright
The basis of the GPL is copyright, so what you're really asking is whether you can use part of a copyrighted work in another work without infringing.

And the answer as always is "it depends".

dminor··on Apache Superset 1.1
We moved from Tableau to Looker and it blows me away how much you have to spend to get good performance and a good dev experience.
dminor··on A Lifetime of Systems Thinking
I think he's saying the interactive manager doesn't guess what the future will be and plot a course for success in that future, but rather asks what would be ideal right now and plots a course to achieve that ideal.
dminor··on Klarna users are being signed in to random accounts
Years ago I added varnish in front of a website to cache image requests, not realizing that if the response included 'set-cookie' that was also cached.

We immediately started getting reports of random products appearing in our customers' shopping carts, as people's sessions got merged with random strangers.

dminor··on Nonsense Laboratory
Here's something similar I made awhile back: http://password.supply

It uses Markov chains to pick the next letter (the current state is the previous two letters)

dminor··on Wrecking sandwich traders for fun and profit

dminor··on Thanks HN: You helped save a company that now helps thousands make a living
I think the problem is you called it a "reliable" route to financial independence, when the variance is actually pretty high. Anyone who can get a job at a large tech company in SF/Seattle/NY has a much more reliable route to financial independence.
dminor··on Mounting clues suggest the coronavirus might trigger diabetes
My wife's cousin's husband developed type 1 diabetes (at 40) after he and his family got over a flu-like illness a couple months ago.

They tested negative for covid but this makes me wonder.

dminor··on “You want to know something about how bullshit insane our brains are?” (2018)

dminor··on The Atlantic lays off almost 20% of staff
Having worked at a publishing platform, I can tell you that point is a long long way away for most publishers. The vast majority of publisher income is from advertising and it's not close.
dminor··on Ask HN: Who is hiring right now?
Boulder Care | Senior Product Manager | Portland OR | Full-time onsite (WFH currently due to covid) | https://boulder.care

Come work for Boulder Care!

Boulder Care is a digital health platform for treating opioid addiction. We are a well-funded VC-backed company with the opportunity to build a massive business. Our healthcare system spends billions of dollars combating the opioid epidemic.

Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, but fewer than 10% of patients who need treatment are receiving it. Boulder is closing this gap by providing high-quality medication-based treatment via a digital platform.

Our platform consists of a mobile app that serves our patients, and a web app used by our clinicians. As we scale and build out our apps there is lots of opportunity to shape the product!

dminor··on What kind of data is my new car collecting?
Sounds very similar to "The Dresden Files". The main character is forced to drive around in an old car, since his magic interferes with electronics.
dminor··on Around the World in Rare and Beautiful Apples
Yes, essentially, if it hasn't otherwise been propagated. Also, the process for creating a new edible variety is fairly time and resource intensive, since it involves planting a lot of seeds and waiting a couple years to see if you get something worthwhile.

The story is also similar for rootstock. Apples are naturally a fairly large tree, which isn't convenient for harvesting. The rootstocks that apples are typically grafted onto are genetic variants that don't grow as large.

dminor··on Around the World in Rare and Beautiful Apples
Apples trees grown from seed actually do not match their parent - they are a genetic mix (just like us). What's more, they will most likely bear fruit that isn't pleasant to eat.

All the apple varieties you eat have been cultivated from a single original specimen, via cuttings or (more likely) grafting onto a convenient root stock.

dminor··on Temperature Conversion: Mental Calculation (2014)
It's even easier if you consider that C/5 is 1/10 of 2C. So, just double C and then subtract 10% of the result.
dminor··on Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?
My previous job came from a "who wants to be hired" thread (and by extension my current job, which came about through people I worked with).

An engineering manager noticed my post and passed it to their internal recruiters. I was interviewing with multiple companies and they came out on top.

It turned out to be a great experience. After 4 years they were acquired and most of us have moved on, and several of us formed the engineering team at a seed stage startup.

dminor··on Aldi, a brutally efficient grocery chain, is upending America's supermarkets
This is common in several US States.
dminor··on Sam Altman: Bay Area is no longer the obvious place for startups
FYI the word "test" is in your footer
dminor··on The exercise “recovery” industry is largely bogus
Stretching and foam rolling have no recovery benefits and don't prevent injury, according to meta-analysis of the studies of them.

But, they probably also won't hurt you (possible exception for static stretching before exercising).

dminor··on Preparing for Prison (2016)
Actually in Oregon you don't need a unanimous jury to be convicted, 10 is sufficient except in murder cases. Apparently we're the last state to allow this.
dminor··on The Dutch Reach: A No-Tech Way to Save Bicyclists’ Lives
There's no such thing as the American driving test - every state has their own test and their own rules.

Using the far right lane to turn is supposed to be safer for cyclists by reducing the possibility of right hook collisions. It is, however, less convenient for cyclists since they may be blocked by a car waiting to turn.

California requires cars to merge into the bike lane before making a turn.

Oregon on the other hand forbids cars from using the bike lane for turns.
