Im sure this is bound to end up downvoted because its "user hostile" but in the venerable words of the grey beards, linux is already user friendly, its just picky about its users.

replace the word cloud with computer and the cloud argument for fallback evaporates. Cloud has somehow become a surrogate for competent understanding of basic internetworking? cloud-init cant provide a DNS server? provider DHCP isnt a good enough default? Cloud is in this case some premium hand-waving from the systemd community.

fallback in itself is a disingenuous offering as it tries to sidestep and clean up some seriously fundamental problems a user might face that they should address before even standing up their microservice or app or whatnot. If you dont have a cogent DNS provider you should stop deploying, not complain loudly and continue merrily on. Google and Cloudflare have on numerous occasions proven they can and will arbitrarily terminate any and all service to a user for any or no reason at all.

Cloudflare DoH in particular has open and recurring threads for shadow domain blocks or SRVFAIL they return from their service that are neither announced to users or explained. usbank is a TLD that sees a good deal of quietly planned intervention from the DoH service for some reason.
When I changed careers and did a coding bootcamp there were a handful of "thought I wanted to make video games but too many other people felt the same way" guys and girls in there.
Having a static resolv.conf file can/does lead to many issues when connecting to multiple networks or a VPN with different dns servers.

It's exactly what I want of a CAD tool: a parametric solver with a 3D UI and 2D sketches. I haven't really have an opportunity to use it a lot since I discovered it, though.

Kicad is quite nice, though.
Apple released a $400 to $550 iPhone SE in Apr 2020 after years of not having an updated small phone option, so I imagine many who really wanted a smaller phone jumped on that. And then 6 months later they came out with 12 mini, so I wouldn’t expect a size able amount of demand for the 12 mini would have been sucked up by the new SE.
Is there any point in learning blender as a software developer? I like it a lot but feel like the learning curve is too high and not worth it for me?
Urgh I missed that, but I maintain that his comment is firmly "idiot comment" material as it's pretty obvious that the context is about capital punishment and not getting into a gunfight.
What ROI? There are tweets more information dense than articles, articles more valuable than books.
If price is your goal you can do better. The melons (expensive) can be replaced with a breakfast of oats (one of the cheapest, healthiest sources of carbs). This can be more filling too. The cottage cheese and sardines can be replaced with chicken breast, or, even cheaper, whey protein.
I don't have a TV and I've not had a letter for years. It's hillariuos when people from call centres in India call to sell TV related services. Their script clearly doesn't have that contingency catered for.

I think I can do this easily yes.

I can either fill their content with pornographic stuff or simply redirect it to adult websites.

I think if that happens - Google will de-rank and de-list them super quickly.

I chose not to, because I'm not sure if it's not going to affect real people ...
IF sounds broader. Text adventure makes me think of:

You are standing in a room, obvious exits are to the north.

What would you like to do? > look north

Whereas IF leaves room for things like Choose Your Own Adventure books.
Hi!

We actually did that demo as part of a post. We just released it right here: https://medium.com/@jdoliner/when-grandmasters-blunder-a8198.... Hope you enjoy it.
A big part of it is the supersaturated foods we have now are far, far more sweet/salty/fatty than our tastebuds evolved with. Sugar fat and salt taste good to us because our body needs them and in ancient times the tastiest foods available were also the healthiest (fruits, nuts, meat, etc). Evolutionarily speaking, food tastes good to encourage us to eat it, and it makes us happy to eat good food because that means we're keeping our bodies alive/healthy. Nowadays, we can make food that has far more sugar/fat/salt than our tastebuds evolved with, so the tastiest foods are now the worse foods for us, but the biological pressure to eat them hasn't gone away.

To make it even worse, things that make us feel good are things we can get in the habit of doing (i.e. addicted) very easily. To make it even worse, you have to eat. If you're addicted to marijuana (assuming it's purely psychological addiction here) you don't have to smoke a less fulfilling joint every day (reminding you of the more fulfilling joint you could be smoking), you can just quit cold turkey (which is also hard but less so). A lot of obese people are literally addicted to unhealthy food since it provides so much more stimulus than our brains were evolved to handle.

And to make it even worse, being obese tends to lead to low self-esteem and a common way to assuage self-esteem issues is to engage in pleasurable activity... like eating more unhealthy food. It's a vicious cycle of eating poorly, getting fat, then eating poorly to comfort oneself, getting fatter, eating more, etc. It can be very difficult to break the cycle, both because of the super-stimulatory nature of the food and because it's impossible to just quit eating cold turkey. Every healthy meal is a reminder of the addiction you could be feeding and with the high availability of poor food (especially in the US), it's even harder to stay healthy.

In short, we are of wired to find bad food comforting in a roundabout way, and the problem is far harder than you give it credit for.
It clearly must be easy to outdo vodka distillers. Dave Arnold at the French Culinary managed to make extremely high-quality flavored vodka out of pure food-grade alcohol --- an industrial supply! --- for a couple bucks a gallon.

East Europeans of all kinds have been making home-made vodka from food-grade alcohol, a bit of water and occasionally glycerine, for many, many years.

Mostly when the economy tanks and anti-freeze starts showing up in the street supply of vodka.
Wishing customers 'Happy Holidays' or 'Happy anything' in bulk isn't a great idea.

1. You probably don't have a personal relationship with your customers. Don't fake it.

2. Trying to sell your customer something off the back of a message like this is opportune and Machiavellian.

3. If you want an opportunity to sell your customers something - be honest and upfront about it.

At the end of the day, this article is just an advertisement for an email conversation company.

Different game, that's counting the resulting code that you create. This is counting the number of keystrokes to create the code (for some at least).
Food and service. Service is equally important.

mediocre food and superb service gets customers better than superb food with shitty service.

I can see see a way that ... nevermind, i'll just go do it rather than let someone beat me to it.
If that is the path the hype has taken it certainly seems to leave a trail of thriving, highly productive industries and communities in its wake.
Aww, I remember the outside.

Seriously though, I'm grateful to my brother who's kept my nephews on a strict time limit and filter when it comes to TV and video games. They play outside and put their amazing imaginations to use.
Is the whiskey any good? Vodka should be very easy. Good indie whiskey would be a huge accomplishment.
What sets both Zuckerberg and Bill Gates apart is their will to power.

Neither of them are expert hackers. Both of them worked very very hard to get rich. Both of them desperately wanted to get rich. Both of them seized an opportunity when it presented itself.

Both of them understood the business environment and understood what aspect of that environment they needed to exploit and emphasize in order to get wealthy.

But neither of them are great hackers. Quite the opposite... RMS is a great hacker.

Zuckerberg was a dime-a-dozen php monkey. Bill Gates was just your average chess club nerd.
How many do? Do we have data? And what benefits are currently available to them?
> my car has physical buttons for everything and it took me about a week before I could control and navigate everything without looking.

> It's impossible to learn where to press because there is no physical buttons to learn by.

You just pointed out glaring disadvantages with buttons/knobs. Situational Touchscreen Controls + Natural Language Processing voice commands is far superior. It's also more intuitive.

I can literally tell it "Turn on driver seat heaters to 3 bacons" and it will set the seat heater to the max setting (1-3).

https://youtu.be/mV8h2doorrc?t=58

If you're telling be voice commands (that actually work) are inferior when it comes to buttons, I don't know what to tell you.
Sorry OCDs, there's no way avoiding postponement of this quadrennial event.
Wuhan avoided it with a centralized quarantine. If you were positive, you weren't allowed to go back home and infect your family.
600 students in that course, that's one hell of a challenge.
It's a fair (well trodden) point, but of course, let's not forget that often things that seem obvious to me seem that way because quite frankly they are obvious. I mean this anti-gravity machine I've got sitting here, who would want that...?
Ahh - thanks! Much appreciated. I was worried I broke the rules.
I also highly recommend The Reasoned Schemer as another route to understanding the concepts behind Prolog - you essentially build the heart of a Prolog system in a couple hundred lines of Scheme.

The level of density in such a short text as well the ability to work through it without having to sit in front of a computer is invigorating (I've had to reread the first 80 pages or so about 5 times now, of course it might just be that I'm slow ;). It certainly succeeds at showing the beauty of a system that elegantly intertwines FP w/ LP.

Oleg (of Haskell fame) has some excellent further resources, http://kanren.sourceforge.net/ and William Byrd's thesis is a treasure trove of things to consider: http://gradworks.umi.com/33/80/3380156.html
WOAH, awesome stats! I just bought http://www.clasificados.tv (Classifieds in spanish). Let's get in touch. my mail and gtalk is nicogarcia at gmail ;)
Wow, impressive!

Can the assets be "reverse engineered" as well?

Also, can R* shut this project down? Is there a legal basis for them?
Air fryer?
I've never heard it discussed by anyone that a badly maintained car is a danger to anyone other than its occupants. I only very infrequently hear the "social justice angle" being discussed. If people gave a damn about that we'd have better public transportation.

There is a weird logic to all this. Air quality makes a noticeable improvement in everyone's lives and, paradoxically, driving is so phenomenally dangerous and so unavoidable that people don't worry about the very minor factors like the one in twenty who isn't paying attention to their brake pads when assessing that risk.

It might be that the high-pitched squeal built into brake pads to notify people of impending doom is actually doing its job, though.
Whoa, call the police maybe?
Canada is mostly un-inhabited, and Japan is quite populous.

They're about the worst countries to compare in this fashion.

Canada is very in-efficient in the way land is used and Japan is extremely efficient.
Yep. At that time, P(good scientist|christian) and P(good scientist) would be roughly equal, since P(christian) was ~100%. So it is hard to learn anything about the influence of Christianity on being a good scientist during this time period.
If I'm on any device, I'd like to avoid having to run JS.
Firmware would not necessarily be modified in an attack like this, and this method would detect any persistent changes you make that are written back to NVRAM.

Definitely wise to prevent remote login from outside your LAN though. Also you can always run an IDS like Snort on your router; a proper IDS is probably the cleanest solution to this problem.
> At best it felt like a grounding for the currently dominant neo-liberal social order.

He wrote it at a time when fascism and communism were tearing Europe apart and butchering millions. "Neo-liberal" social order was not at all dominant at that time.
I think it is pretty simple and easy to follow.

The images don't seem to line up vertically though in the 1,2,3 section. Which was a bit distracting for me. Also, in Chrome on the Mac the background images on "Gift Your Friends" and "Reward Together" get cut off removing their shadow.
Ditto for Finland. Contactless cards or mobile phone payments work everywhere.

I haven't touched cash ever since covid hit, and very rarely before it.
Oh I also agree that haskell-language-server makes the wrong precision/usefulness tradeoff. Codex for example can usually get you somewhere at least useful.

I was just pointing out that “solved” is a strong word for anything Eclipse or JetBrains did 5-10 years ago :) It’s easy to forget how shitty all the IDE stuff was before VSCode forced LSP through the clogged artery of language tooling.
io.js has one major advantage over your other examples: it is tracking the same javascript that browsers are running.

When every major browser is moving in the same direction with a language, any server-side counterpart is best served moving in the same direction.

Without browsers, io.js would have likely ended up in the same place as all the examples above.
Have you read Peak by K. Anders Ericsson? I haven't found the answers you're looking for, but I'd start with reading that book.
One goalpost at a time please. 90% of users in "a given country" is not the same things as saying 90 percent of all users. Unless that country is so important that it's everyone, and again you needed to test that your product is usable in the first place.

And even so, while there are a lot of countries and languages, a collection of tests in all of them, which is all it takes for these examples, is not "big data". Again you are crediting analytics for things that people were fully capable of and responsible for doing in the days without traffic data. I realize it is great for the resume and sounds sexier to do "analytics" as opposed to just basic software testing (you should see what people are calling "AI" in other industries these days). And I'm certainly happy to agree that analytics has some value, say in improving wording and stuff that a single instance won't tell you, but again these aren't cases of that.
Kensington lock is widely used by enterprise (pro) but Apple won't support it. The "Pro" is just marketing comparing to "Air".
I hear this refrain consistently on HN but of the options I've tried, GKE is the most pleasant for my single person app.

- App Engine has a bunch of weird limitations and slow deploy times. Qualitatively, it feels like the spotlight has moved on.

- Running my own compute instances felt like reinventing Kubernetes, especially once you roll your own deploy mechanism and throw load balancing in the mix. I also don't buy that it's easier.

- Cloud run is promising but for database heavy apps it's a non-starter.

- GKE was pretty smooth. It feels like it gets a lot more love than App Engine. The UI was functional with lots of depth. Once I push a docker image, GKE updates the nodes to serve the latest version. Load balancing was a matter of ~3 yaml files at 10 lines a pop.
Hey that's only BE, throw in Angular with Observables and NgRx on the FE and people will start jumping out of the windows from insanity.
fast food and coke (Warren Buffet stocks) kill much more people than all of those combined.
There's another aspect you may not know about: It's close to how it's done in chinese, which is 2021年3月17日. They use different separators (the chinese words for year, month and day), but it's close enough.

Given that china is the country with the largest population it may not be a bad idea to use something a large number of people will easily understand.
I've recently succeeded in building working .apk files byte-by-byte completely from scratch so I could maybe help some. Open an issue on https://github.com/akavel/hellomello if interested in some talking/advice and/or watch my talk on NimConf 2020 for an overview (I don't have a link handy as I'm on mobile).
This is really important to understand that people often miss. Tipping to me is way more than just some subjective criteria that I use to judge whether or not a server "deserves" a certain percentage. Maybe your service at that particular night was off. Sorry to hear that. Here is why you should still leave at least a decent tip. 1. Word will spread around the wait staff that you are a good tipper, even if the particular bad server you happened to receive that night didn't spread it -- other servers will take note: "Wow, even Josh got 15% from that guy" 2. Once Word spreads, that's when the preferential treatment starts. Stronger drinks, larger portions on your side items, extra samples. You always want to establish a relationship at your favorite restaurant. Get to know the managers. They love regulars, and then next time, even they will make sure your service is 100%. It really is a win-win.
> Essentially, it seems like another "wouldn't it be nice if everything were written in $LANG, even the OS?".

In all honesty, I'm not sure you read the article. The entire point is the idea to deploy tiny chunks of code, independently, in any language.

> 65W to 80W vs 250W to 600W

Are you citing the power supplies ratings instead of actual power consumption?
I eat dinner only, quite a lot for dinner and I can graze for the rest of the night. I like going to bed with a full stomach. I don't really get hungry during the day, drink plenty of water and exercise at 3:30, then I'm hungry after that. I eat most stuff, but keep pretty low on sugars, starchy stuff and eat more fat than most.
No reason to downvote this guy, he has a valid point. Scientists should look at the wisdom of people.
Well names are a bit of a bad example. Entire fields of study were spawned from that example [1]. A better example might be a credit card, which always has a number and a cardholder. Things get interesting when you might formalize:

* Expiration (do all credit cards expire? Is expiration necessarily a date, or is it a predicate?)
* Cardholder - referent might be another entity in your system
* Is the card number encrypted? How do you represent encryption?

Knowledge a few years out of date I guess. Still counterparty issues with mixers, somewhat with coinjoin too, but lightning seems pretty cool.
It's also worth noting that reproduction is more taxing and more dangerous for human women than for the females of essentially any other mammal (perhaps even any other vertebrate?) species. Additionally, we have a longer period of immaturity than virtually any other animal species.

A woman who ceases to bear children [let's say at age 45] while she still has 15 years of vigorous healthy life ahead of her is more likely to be alive and healthy to raise her last infant to adulthood because a) she's less likely to die in childbirth and b) she won't be weakened and spend resources on further pregnancies -- which helps ensure that the immense investment she's made in the earlier children will pay off.

Now image her counterpart who continues to be fertile after age 45 but will keel over the minute she hits 60. What if her next pregnancy after 45 kills her and leaves all her youngest children (say, ages 1-10) without a mother? That hurts their chances of survival and of the fitness and health that would make them desirable reproductive partners. And if she does survive all her following pregnancies? She's leaving behind several young, motherless children (perhaps even a newborn) who also don't have a great chance in the world.

What, their siblings will help raise them? But that decreases the resources available to the elder siblings' children -- the next generation -- and jeopardizes their fitness too.

Human reproduction is unusually resource intensive and errs on the side of investing more in a few high quality offspring rather than having hundreds (think tadpoles) of which only a few survive to maturity. Resources in terms of all of the energy and nutrients the mother gives the fetus, and resources in terms of years of teaching and socialization and investment in developing the brain. You basically can't have what we'd consider a functional adult human without that huge investment of resources.
This is a very awesome library. I am attempting to integrate it into the test suites of my various projects this past week and the author has been more than helpful, even when I filed bug reports that turns out to be issues in my own code.
Ahh, that would make sense.

I was thinking perhaps it was a misguided filter because they had sh style "IF/FI" blocks in their template code, but your suggestion is much more likely.
Both Madsion (Go Badgers!) and Ann Arbor have major universities, which probably spurs the developer culture. It isn't just size that matters. Of course, Silicon Valley has Stanford and Boston has both Harvard and MIT which is part of what makes them strong.

It's a combination of things that makes for a good developer city, pg touches on that here:

I had the same opinion until I used a MacBook. The trackpad works beautifully, the gestures make sense. It’s close to perfect. Even while on a docking station at my work desk I either the MacBook trackpad or the Magic Trackpad.
All the cloud providers also USE their huge infrastructure for other purposes as well. So when they do hit, it has a big effect.

make a chip 2% more efficient in your public cloud AND your private cloud, that is also generating money? You've got BIG savings.
Turns out if you do skilled manual labor, the concepts translates. Bob was a bike mechanic. I don't know if he used the words, but he kept harping on us for not having our shit or tools together for a task ahead of time. When you're covered in grease is not a time to be digging for a wrench.
Phoenix live view (anything on BEAM really) maps each ws to a BEAM process so scaling to 10000+ connections is both cheap and built-in
Yes, this is a good reminder that the first areal attack on US soil was not Pearl Harbor, but was against striking workers in 1921 at the Battle of Blair Mountain.

"By August 29 battle was fully joined. Chafin's men, though outnumbered, had the advantage of higher positions and better weaponry. Private planes were hired to drop homemade bombs on the miners. A combination of poison gas and explosive bombs left over from World War I were dropped in several locations near the towns of Jeffery, Sharples and Blair."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain

Someone else in the thread mentioned a revived push for "company towns", which is exactly what these workers were fighting against. Being fired from their company meant losing their job and their house, since it was owned by the company. Honestly, it's not much different from being fired in 2021 and losing your job and your health insurance.
