Yeah as someone who works with the KDE and Plasma Devs - I can tell you that you're wrong...

but [prediction of the future coming]: you won't care anyway. Which is ok, dear bmn_1! You get to be ... I guess "upset" about something that happened 6 years ago! You get to post about how horrible it is that no one listens to you (you, a professional programmer and all!)! It's fine, it really is.

You know what I can't afford? This shit. Now I don't mind (really you're SO right there its really into one ear and out the other) because I'm a big boy and been doing this for years and years. I don't know about the programmers but for designers and especially designers in open source and ESPECIALLY-especially young designers testing the waters in open source, honing their skills and learning how to work in a team - my advice will always be "Do the opposite of what that guy wants".

You're probably a lovely person. I bet you nurture little animals back to health and is a ton of fun socially going out for pints - in another world we could have been friends. But here - in this setting - with all your wounded pride leaking out of every sentence and word, with your "I big professional! You listen!" chest thumping and your make-belief truth you spun out of overhearing a keynote... you're one of the many things wrong with open source today.
I had co-workers tell me 'its rude to share salaries'. This tech company in Vancouver was well known to pay the lowest salary in North America and excruciating overtime.

I always find it amusing how hard people will fight over something so small, when there's so little to gain, people will work so hard for it.
This is exactly what I've been saying since the release of the 6/6+.

Though I might even go so far as to say I miss the old 3.5" screen.
The people who are currently giving starving people mosquito nets, and expressing surprise that they use them to get food, probably shouldn't try to stabilize the region economically, politically, or, heaven forbid, militarily.
You mean the guy has to take all of the risk of rejection because women don't approach men. Let's be real here: I've been approached by more gay men than by women in my life. You're saying having to work for something is privilege?
I was just going to mention this too.

One of the best Podcasts out there IMO. Great "short" stories/history lessons.
Great point. Also -- at least at the hospital I'm familiar with in SF -- those registered nurses work 36 hours a week (three 12-hour shifts a week).

It's hard to see how being an RN isn't a better job than being a software developer in SF...
I find the book "Javascript: The Good Parts" a Javascript little bible.
Seriously though, what can Maya do that Blender can't?
did you even RTFA? They wanted to continue using nginx.
I generally find articles more informative than comments, so usually I'll read the article first. The reasons I tend to read comments first are:

+ To see how far a potential hot button topic has devolved when deciding whether to flag the article...and perhaps down vote some bad behavior.

+ I'm curious to see if the deep bench of HN members has weighed in on a technical topic.

+ To see if it was worth reading the article. This is often with articles that have hung around the front page longer than my reaction to the title would suggest it merits.

+ Just because doing so strikes my fancy.
Hey, those are all awesome suggestions.

- Right now I'm doing U.S. only, just because the pricing gets a little weird otherwise.

- I'm with you on the examples of different examples of cards; I have several made (and our designers are working on other ones that should be out soon), so that's super valuable feedback.

- I think I can A/B test some pricing. I wouldn't want to go below $5, but $7 was -- to be honest -- sort of dartboard pricing. If I change the price, I'll credit the difference * months paid to existing accounts :)

- Yeah, I've thought about custom messages. It would be a cool feature, and probably wouldn't be that difficult to implement. I'll see what I can do tonight!

Thanks for feedback, it's awesome to have some constructive criticism to work on! I'm also not a designer, so I've been tweaking the landing page/copy a little bit, too.
For some charges, even full aquital isn't enough to recover your life.
>Some of them are very simple, and DO occur a lot in the world. For example, the alternating yellow and black line pattern would be encountered by a driverless car, and it would think it is seeing a school bus.

While the image shows a yellow and black line pattern to us, are you sure this is also what the CNN "sees"? Couldn't this image just be the same as the adversarial images, i.e. it responds to many small input values rather than the overall pattern?

If it's possible to make the CNN predict an ostrich for an image of a car, then the same can be done of an image of an alternating yellow and black line pattern, no?
Their moderation process is a huge mess, that's for sure.
It looks the same as Stripe's documentation[1], but I don't see any references to what built it.

PostgreSQL used to be called Postgres. They renamed it when they added SQL support.
It doesnt matter what I want, it has not addressed the issues that need to be adressed, in either way.
Not sure of others but in the early years we chose mercurial over git due to to its beautiful command line UI, conceptual integrity and easier mental model. Even today hg is easier to pick up for new developers in our startup compared to git, even though git has bigger mindshare due to GitHub.

Also like the default in mercurial repository for immutable commit history and explicit merges unless forcibly overridden.

So still today use mercurial in our startup and if need to use git, we keep a mirror of git repository in our kallithea instance. We integrate git in our internal workflow using hg-git.
This is insane that a user has to setup a separate company just to protect themselves from sudden bills that may be not their fault.
Seems like your question in the title is completely different than your description text...
I use Postgres at the moment and I'm happy except for the process per connection part and the upgrade part. Knowing what I know now I think MySQL would have made me happier. On the other hand, it may have caused other issues I don't have with Postgres. I just hope the Postgres team maintains its roadmap based on posts like this.
I fully support this as long as you can click a button and deploy a new instance when one dies.
this link feels silly tbh. 30 blood clot cases out of 18.1 million. That honestly sounds less than how often a blood clot happens randomly in a population that size.
No they are not. The presentations designed to get government to approve measures are public, anyone can see them.

Policy decisions are based on bullshit and fraudulent predictions. The current lockdown was started on December 15 based on a bullshit prediction, then the curfew was started based on another bullshit prediction that was even falsified before it was shown, and then everything was extended based on bullshit, first the statement ‘we need to go on longer so we can see if it works’ and then ‘we are sure it works’ and then ‘well we will never know if it works, but it’s scary to stop’.

It’s bullshit through and through. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Dutch disease[1]. It's not just complacency, dominant industries can suck up all the talent and strengthen currencies making life difficult for everyone else.

That does help a lot!

Of course, this is still not good enough. But the nice thing about things that are real is they eventually stand up to increasing levels of self-doubt and 3rd party verification... it’s an extraordinary result (because, of course, the Standard Model seems to be sufficient for just about everything else... so any verified deviation is extraordinary), and so funding shouldn’t be a problem.

A decent heuristic: Real effects are those that get bigger the more careful your experiment is (and the more times it is replicated by careful outsiders), not smaller.
Cool to see languages besides C running on small hardware.

I would guess that memory consumption, not speed, is the limiting factor vs. C in many applications. I skimmed through the source code and couldn't find a way to define heterogeneous packed data types (i.e. structs). That would be a serious turn-off for me. Cons cells take a lot of extra space. At least it has vectors.
>A resume and a GitHub account provide different kinds of quantitative data. Replacing one with the other means you’re throwing out good information. They complement each other and work best together, like hot fudge and ice cream.

He's constructing a bit of a straw man here. I haven't heard anyone suggest that traditional resumes should be completely abandoned, or that a Github account should be the only factor when hiring a developer.
If you believe in the mission of the FSF, then you truly have your head in the sand if you think that resurrecting Stallman is going to help anything. Makes me think this is all culture warriors and nothing at all to do with advancing Free Software.
My understanding is that some kinds of horizontal scaling are much easier than in other languages and frameworks due to the clustering magic you get for free.

There's an extremely wide gamut of potential answers to this question. "Either we lock them up and throw away the key in a violent retributive system or we let them roam the streets free of all social constraint" is a false dilemma.

At any rate, it's not necessary to pick a specific answer from the massive pile of alternative approaches tried, theorized, and developed in modern history to say that this one thing that is done in the US right now is clearly not the right answer.
You're conflating the implementation with the principle. There is no matrix math with neurons; quite the opposite, we posit the existence of the matrix math from the behavior we've observed with neural systems governed by a sigmoid function. The equations we've derived are secondary to the initial implementation. Just as you tweak the error factor in backprop, so too do weights between intersecting neuron networks adjust until thought and intention falls into line with eventual perception and execution.

The map is not the territory.
tool libraries like http://neptl.org/ ?
Exactly. It's true that one can't achieve anything without execution, but that only comes after inspiration. Ignoring sources of inspiration all together will only bring failure and thus create a negative impact. It's great that you [GDH] are looking to make your life more productive but, as tuppy said, find a balance when making reforms.
OK. Is anyone working on x86 VMs which do try to be completely invisible to guests?
Is it better to pick up being a firefighter when you're in a burning plane and skydiving is the only option?
Not everyone is killing it? Clearly the author has never talked to a recruiter.
"Speaking truth to power" is a popular way to describe taking a stand, but my take is that Fauci just stood with the WHO.
Actually my assessment it is spot on. AWS is just a bunch of APIs, you don’t need to be inside a VPC to use them, you can call them from anywhere. If you wanted to hide your usage of AWS you could stick a varnish server in Digital Ocean or any other cloud or colo provider and have it make signed requests to your S3 bucket, or lambda, or a traditional load balancer fronting http servers. People might know or suspect you were using AWS but if they can’t tie you to specific account then it’s hard to get you shut down. It’s always possible that someone could bribe someone at your CDN or colo to lookup origin ips but even then you could plan for that and put your data stores in a separate account so that even if your http server account is shut down, you can spin up another AWS account for the http servers and your back in business.

From a technical standpoint I think half the fun of working for Parler would have been evading the left’s efforts to take them down. I don’t know who they hired for technology but they lacked spirit in addition to fundamentals! ;)
I joined the public group and even tho its just everyone kinda experimenting with their tunes, i love it. This has a lot of potential. Best of luck!

I wish there was a chat integration? Would like to just say: this is cool tune
Appreciate seeing some actual benchmarks. But it is a bit silly to round the results to seconds when they are in the single digit range.
From the article Texas seems to be having issues with coal and nuclear power right now too:

“...But that doesn't explain the shortfalls in coal and nuclear, and the ERCOT executive wasn't willing to speculate.”
I'm talking about both, but separately. For example Marin County has a lot of natural areas where development is verboten but it's also a big part of the appeal of the area (well, the fact that it's a wealthy white suburban area is a lot of the appeal too, and NIMBY policies keep housing expensive so it stays that way). I just wanted to bring it up because I feel it's yet another piece of the puzzle behind housing costs in the area - but I'm aware it's even more a contentious subject than zoning so it's not a hill I would die on.

The biggest problem, by far, is single family zoning though.
I remember that when I was working as an undergrad research assistant in a physics lab, a PhD student and I had plotted some data, to see if the relationship between 2 variables was linear. We had cut off many of the data points to the left and right, keeping only a small region in the middle. When we showed it to our supervisor, he came back with "of course it looks linear if you only look at a small interval, that's just Taylor expansion." He then explained to us that it's incredibly scientifically sketchy to leave out perfectly good data from one's plots. Not fooling yourself is surprisingly hard when you're wishing for a specific outcome.

On a related note to the supplementary data thing, I've recently seen a lot of people complaining online about not being able to reproduce the results of machine learning papers that don't have the code for their models included in the supplement. "Code, or it didn't happen." I guess each field has its own problems with replication of results.

> And I'd be willing to bet their processes and standards are much better than big auto.

Comma has a neat product, but I really do not agree with comments like this. The auto industry is terrible, but they are miles ahead of Comma in the process realm.

The industry has spent a lot of time on safety standards like ASIL and AUTOSAR. They would never allow Comma to ship, because it is written in Python, a pausable language (absurd), and without any hardware protections like lockstep processors or watchdogs, if only because it is literally a consumer phone. A system connected to the steering and acceleration of a vehicle freezing while still in control is ridiculous.

Comma will kill someone; it is only a matter of when, not if.
Reminds me of "Voat"

The initially harmless Reddit alternative that got overrun with nazis. I actually started working on a Voat app for Android back when it seemed like it actually had a chance to be successful... but when I connected it to the site and saw racist garbage polluting my shiny new app, I decided to abandon ship.
Not that I understand Russian all that well, but I don’t see ‘Rossiya’ or any of its declensions in that passage, therefore I don’t think that passage refers to Russia specifically, whatever it’s getting at.
> replaced with lead-polluted Flint river water,

XKCD386: The river water was not lead-polluted. The river water replaced Detroit sourced water which had been treated with orthophosphate, which inhibits corrosion. Without the corrosion inhibitor lead was leached from water pipes (largely in lateral lines and in people's homes).

> nor have the people responsible been charged with any serious offenses

After nearly two decades of trying everything else they finally came to the conclusion that a backup offering might fit really well with their file synching offering. I really don't get all the former unicorns trying to pivot away from their main product. Dropbox and Evernote wasted so much time and are now in a worse state than 5 years after launch.
usually a shiraz/syrah or a malbec
You'll grow into them, and they don't have to be expensive.
The Apple store near me didn't block Reddit when I was there earlier this month.

One time, I was shocked to see a pornographic website open on a Macbook Pro that had been sitting idle. Granted this incident was almost a year ago.
I think it's great. It's better than "Status Archive" or something similar. And really, it is your memories... going back to 2004 and seeing what I was up to then is certainly going to trigger some nostalgia for me.
How does it compare with others? Diigo, Stubmleupon, Xmarks...
Of course I did. My stand is this: what the US needs now, possibly more than any time before in its history, is for the full extent of the surveillance and other activities by the NSA and other IC members to be revealed to the public. What happens next year in the Senate Intelligence Committee is much less important.
The Tesla is a great car but it's absolutely insane that American taxpayers are donating $7500 to allow rich people to buy $75,000 luxury cars.
Good point, how could I forgot LT...
Everything in the US is for the benefit of corporations.
I've not hired as many engineers lately as I'm sure others have, but while I agree with your sentiment, I think you're painting only 1/2 the picture.

Yes, people routinely under-estimate salaries of engineers in the bay area. And I certainly know people at Google and Apple who have comp packages in the neighborhood you mention. But I'm skeptical of calling that the "norm", and even if it is, it's only the norm for RSU-granting, established tech companies. Half the employment for engineers in the area is for smaller companies with ISO grants with Expected Value well below $300k and salaries 25% below your quote.

What's wonderful for engineers in the SFBA is that you have this choice. Take a front row seat at a startup and consistently make $110-130k, go to a huge tech giant like Google and make far more in a more narrowly defined role, or pick some place in the middle. Like Trulia, for example! We're always hiring Android and iOS engineers.
From another angle, here in the Seattle area, I often see USPS trucks delivering Amazon packages on Sunday.
Seems to me that it would also be a great opportunity to port each of these builds to a homebrew package.
The best thing we can do for our children right now is keep them AWAY FROM SCREENS!
"several studies have shown that individuals demonstrate a preference for choice, or the availability of multiple options, over and above utilitarian value." -> yes, it is called the need for orientation/control and "utilitarian value" has nothing to do with it -> Index Funds vs. Actively-Managed Funds -> people prefer the latter even if the returns are consistently lower. [1]

"Yet we lack a decision-making framework that integrates preference for choice with traditional utility maximisation in free choice behaviour." -> utility maximisation "has charm for economists, but it rests on the shaky foundation of an implausible and untestable assumption" - Daniel Kahneman [2] -> TL;DR the author of "Thinking Fast and Slow" proves it false

"We found that participants were biased towards states that kept their options open, even when both states were balanced in the total number of goal locations. This bias was evident not only when both contexts were equally valuable but throughout all value conditions..." AND "Participants were not informed of the precise values ..." -> seeing the utilitarian variable being forced upon conclusions is disheartening

As much as the liberal-libertarian crowd on HN likes to be vocal against most forms of government licensure, protection from ethical breaches like this is one of the best things about them. You can tell your employer to pound sand because neither you nor anyone they could replace you with will be willing to risk their license to do something unethical. And even if they could find someone sketch to try and push it through you’re protected by your professional review board.
There are real safety risks to testing unknown drugs and the public literally isn’t smart enough to assess the risk to themselves. Everyone would sign up for the test vaccine to get a chance at escaping quarantine without understanding the risk. And if we offered this on a regular basis it is inevitable that a candidate drug would have adverse effects on a large group and people would be out for blood because nobody actually read the fine print.

Here’s a list of examples that shows why the FDA must be deliberate in their testing. People can die or be permanently crippled when we screw it up. Just imagine if we rushed a coronavirus vaccine with a similar safety concern and ended up hurting millions of people before we realized it: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history....

The FDA already does have compassionate use exemptions for people that are on death’s door and there are no downsides to taking an experimental drug- they’re dying anyway if it doesn’t work out. I think that’s about the right level threshold for deciding whether to give people unproven drugs and we should not have rushed the vaccines any faster- hindsight may show us that the vaccines are safe but we couldn’t have known that a few months ago. We have to do the testing.
I used the gratis demo of that site to introduce a 7 year old to vi, and hoped I just might have been an accomplice to a world record when he successfully completed vimtutor afterwards. He now uses the skills to do his schoolwork in HedgeDoc (last week I taught him to make macros, which he uses for markdown headings and checklists).
> It's not only about minimizing total infections. If it were, priority would be given based on social sphere sizes, eg priests and postmen before old people.

Exactly how it is rolled out here in Moscow. It has never occurred to me that it's not the one and obvious way.

But yes, the "Sputnik" vaccine has huge problems with giving people something they can believe in. Rolling it out in a "rational" order, as if they actually believe it works, is probably the most city government can do to raise confidence.
I guess you didn't read my response, I said "Whenever people historically have stormed the capital building, everyone coordinates to ban them from their platforms." Your "rebuttal" lists no one who stormed The Capital Building (sorry should've put that in bigger letters)
There's plenty of fighting over barricades outside.

I can't find the video of the first, outer cordon falling anymore, but this is the second, inner cordon falling at the beginning of this clip, followed by attempts to stop the protesters on the steps:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PCHra6JuuQ&t=3s

Then there was desperate fighting over doorways inside the capitol building.
