Well, from that issue from 2020-12-24: "--ipv6 has not landed yet", so you cannot assign static external v6 adresses to a container. No activity on that bug since. There is tons of stuff in docker that works automatically, where in podman it is like "Please be aware you have to configure ip6tables (or whatever your OS firewall is) for forwarding.". Yeah, well, if i have to do everything by hand or program a ton of scripts around it, it is quite useless, isn't it?

IPv6 support is always like this: half-baked at best, someone got it to work somehow, developers declare it done since it worked for someone. Then crickets...

IPv6 support isn't done until you can replace IPv4 with it, with no changes to your config except addresses. Even docker isn't there yet. And podman's is still in a larval state.
I began writing a book for them in 2010 and quit when the goalposts kept being moved and had a different point of contact every week. Absolutely terrible experience.
Oh, I agree it is a tradeoff. But the parent said "you can learn to miss every time". Can anyone point me to a C language project where the developers consistently miss every time?
I thought Toyota replaced those frames at no cost, some people even got entirely new trucks.

> Researching how taxes are calculated takes up valuable time and mental capacity

So does deal finding and coupon clipping, which is what the parent was comparing to.

If you have just a salary, no mortgage, and no stock/equity transactions, nothing has changed in 20 years, and it takes all of 10 minutes to fill the Federal form out (and I'm being generous). Every once in a while there is some extra credit, but it's usually prominently advertised. A simple hack is to look at the previous year's tax form and compare to see if anything has changed, and look up the guide related to those entries.

If you do basic stock transactions (RSU, SPP, buy and sell), then it's a bit more pain, but still easy.

Deductions are things one can easily miss, but even then, once you figure it out, you just have to keep an eye out for changes to deductions. The recent tax changes screwed it all up (although they also made taxes overall easier for those not in high COL states), but the usual deductions to watch out for are mortgage interest, state taxes, property taxes, and charitable donations.

If you have other things going on (side business, etc), then I would suggest paying for a CPA.

Worst case, just plug the numbers into TT and see if what you get is the same. If they imply you can get more, then pay someone to do it for you.

I know people like to think it will take a lot of effort, but at least for my salary, if I count the hours it takes for me to do all this, it's always cheaper than paying a CPA.
My experience is that they get about 45 minutes into the lecture, realize that there was an error in minute 10 and spend the rest of the period trying to fix it before telling you to check the book for the correct proof.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but they're so far off what has been promised when I placed my order that I completely lost faith and trust in this company.

I could understand a delay of a couple of months, but what has it been now... over a year?

I have moved on, I'm sorry.
It's an article that appeals to us and I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think it's hacker news.
Right, it's the distribution. Desktop developers have been willing to shell-out a lot for Visual Studio because they needed to build Windows applications for wide adoption.
My favorite part was the last slide where you gave an overview presented in a table..I really loved the Feeling row, I can really reflect on it(we're near launching).

As a programmer, sometimes I think "this could be patentable, because the implementation is not immediately obvious to me." Maybe the non-programmers at the USPTO apply the same standard.
I noticed under the first pic it says "Designed and Assembled in the U.S.A."

My first thought in reading that line was "hmm... so they wasted a whole bunch of money by not outsourcing it to China where they could get their PCB assembly done for 20% the cost."
> it also serves as due diligence

Yes, this is a good point. But note that it's a different point from the one that I was responding to. If the purpose of having volunteers build the houses before becoming lifetime donors is due diligence--them gaining trust in the process--then it doesn't matter how efficient they are at building the houses, because the tradeoff is not them building houses vs. whatever more productive work they could have been doing with that time and energy. Nor is it about having to overcome any irrational quirks of human psychology, giving the donors "personal connection", etc. The tradeoff is the donors having trust in the process vs. not--i.e., them gaining the information they need to rationally believe that their donations will accomplish the end goal, vs. not. In short, it's a perfectly rational investment of time and energy for the donors, even if they are terrible house builders.
Are there good secondary sources for this? This alleged perversion strikes me as a significant linchpin in the structural animosity between the two people. I really want it to be true, so am particularly hesitant to accept it without compelling evidence.
Some banks can borrow some of their funding requirements at negative rates for short periods of time.

Banks fund themselves using a variety of sources - bonds and money market instruments (of various types), equity, deposits, past profits (which is really the same as equity) and various central bank mechanisms. Of those the only ones where there is a decent chance of funding at negative rates are bonds/money markets and central banks.

Bank profits have been squeezed by negative rates precisely because they've been forced to pass on more of the rate reductions to borrowers than they've been able to recapture for themselves.
There is no rate limiting implemented it seems. :/
Yes this is mostly an offering oriented towards enterprises. There is a new offering coming soon at a lower price point
My understanding is the poorly-worded emails are deliberate, to act as a filter to get rid of the folks who are unlikely to fall for the scam. This means the scammer isn't wasting time talking to these folks when they'll never pay up.

This doesn't apply to the diagram. In this case, it wasn't just laziness. The author actually added not just the "5G Freq" label, but added "Bass", "Treble", etc in the exact same style. And I know they added this because I dug up an original diagram where the labels look different. The author erased the original labels and re-did them (and added "5G" to the pre-existing "Freq"). This was clearly a joke. Someone doing this for real would have simply left off the other labels and only kept "5G Freq" (or would have added other suspicious labels).
> You are trying to make the argument, absent data, that the economic and social/emotional impacts of 'stay at home' orders are worse than the economic and social/emotional impacts of uncontrolled viral infection and death.

My argument has the proof of vast majority of countries that’ve failed to mitigate spread with high tradeoffs and costs to society.

If Europe ostensibly can’t manage it - how is the US expected, given the elevated opinion of Europe most people on the pro-lockdown side tend to presume?

Where’s the evidence that NPIs are effective?

You want ivory tower detachment and ignorance? Suggest America just “be Australia or China.”
I really don't find them any better than the competing products in the same price range these days, but you do you.
My bet is that 3pt14159 is in the same industry too and unless he has is own startup, is probably bound by the same restrictions either without realizing or without caring.

>> If you want 10K lines of my code you better be prepared to pay for it.

+1.

I do not mind someone having me write code on a whiteboard during an interview. Asking for 10K lines is indeed out of question since this would invariably be code I have developed for a previous employer. I am working on my own startup now and still won't show 10K lines of code to protect the startup's IP!

There have even been a case where a colleague pulled out code he had written at previous employment for use in the current employment. We blocked him from doing that.
Binary formats need not use fixed-length fields. You could use a format that stores small integers in 8 bits, yet allows for larger ones. See for example https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding....

You don’t even have to use byte-sized fields, but doing that makes encoding and decoding harder, and the overhead of also storing the actual lengths in bits of variable sized fields may be too much to make it worth that.
Not so long ago SSDs didn't exists and people were using their PC just fine. Today's high performance portable SSD are miles ahead of the 10000rpm "fast" internal HDDs from back in the days
There's a great quote from Tom Mendola in the comments section of Rick's video.

"Thanks for doing this. Chick’s mother told me that when he was a child she would strip his bed sheets to wash them. She would find music written in pencil on the bed sheet. He was supposed to be sleeping but his mind was always in music. As amazing as he was as a musician/composer he was a wonderful person, loving father and a true friend. I will miss him."
Agreed! Just posted about active listening today https://ochronus.online/active-listening-boosts-careers/
You don't need a neural network for this - after song identification, you might be able to stream the right song at the right location, then simply play the song "inverted" - you'll increase background noise but the song won't be identifiable.

It's a very simple DSP operation after song identification. It sounds like a lot of fun actually.

The front end location identification might not have an extant solution, but post identification it should be doable with standard tricks.

This is the cyberpunk future we were waiting for. Who wants to do some DSP?!

If anyone wants to work together on this, we absolutely should. This is a fun problem with a very, very cyberpunk vibe. Plus it's real DSP work!
OP.

This is a very good and fair question. Postgres is growing a lot, but is it growing enough, according to its true potential? It has everything: incredibly robust and trusted; very large feature set; not under any company's direction; extremely liberal license. Should be conquering the database market, and by far is not!

I don't have an answer. I have potentially, many. Possibly I will blog about this at some time. But I believe that definitely it should be growing more and becoming more relevant than it is right now.

This is no detriment at all to all the fantastic work done by everybody; but just the ambition that Postgres can and should go farther.
Hi! Everyone in the USA, outside of a few cities, knows public transit fails to meet our needs. But, I'm more interested in hearing about places that have improved their public transit system or realistic ideas for fixing.
I tuned out when I read this: "Sensors flood the device with terabytes of data every second, all managed with an onboard CPU, GPU and first-of-its-kind HPU (holographic processing unit)."

I'm sorry, but there is no wearable device which can handle terabytes of data per second. Heck, my brand new Haswell has a peak memory bandwidth of 17GB/s; even to the L1 cache, its theoretical max is 700GB/s.

This sounds like a puff PR piece.
Isn't this service disabled by default? I've never needed to enable it and I install new SQL Server instances just about every week. It's my understanding that nobody really needs a live list of all SQL Server instances on a server to be made available on the network, nevermind the Internet at large.

This is one of those legacy services that Microsoft keeps around just in case somebody wants it but it's been a long time since it had any changes or updates. What they really need to do is have it not even included with the product. It should be a download-only utility, for those that really, really want this on their systems.
Did anyone read cost-effective manpower as cheap? :(

I'm from Serbia, and still living here. The local market is small and extremely undeveloped. Telecommunication infrastructure is sub-standard, no non-ISP/corporate data centers and no multiple backbone links. While the cloud/grid hosting solves that particular problem, there are others.

Running a company here costs you around 300€/month, whether you have profit or not. That doesn't include office space or bills, taxes only. Note that it is the average net monthly salary, but you can't live of it really.

Corruption. Shitty infrastructure. No Paypal and no widely available (and inexpensive) card-processing options. I'm not sure about getting a proper, signed SSL certificate either.

All of the above can be circumvented, yes. The problem is that when you are so far behind everyone else society wise, ideas and visions that are popping in your head are being sold as a commodity in the rest of the world, and even if you have a nice, modern, innovative idea, unless you are wealthy, you wont be able to implement it because of so many bureaucratic obstacles.

So, what do we have here? A bunch of IT service and programming sweatshops, outsourced of course. Because of relatively cheap labor.

It is my opinion that having an inspiring and motivating, if not competing environment helps innovation.
I'm struggling to think of anywhere that has a history that I would call beautiful.
Sorry, gluten intolerance, and there are many variationions - I have a form with an occurrence of one in 10,000, possible 1 in 100.000 - CON NOT be diagnosed with a prick test. A wheat allergy, which is a totally different thing, might be.
This could be because of the manufacturer, or it could be because your father is older than you. There's a small amount of actual data (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/pfizer..., which just talks about injection site pain) and anecdata/implied wisdom (https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/...) that says that older recipients are dealing with fewer side effects than younger recipients.
Snowflake spends an insane amount on marketing.

And they’re Apples and Oranges. Snowflake is more comparable to Athena and BigQuery.
I don't agree. Yes, the qualia is different, but there is no tasting without the taster, who introduces divergence between two individuals. Two different people are going to have different taste buds and different wiring. You might have a stronger signal from tannins than I do. Maybe I lack the receptors for specific molecules. Your psychology might prefer tannins more than I do.

If we're talking about an objective assessment of the molecules in the bottle, then I agree there is an absolute and correct answer. But in order to taste something, there has to be a taster, and that will vary between individuals.
Interesting, I hadn't known that. I imagine the short booster dose time also helps in implementation, because an individual gets maximum immunity 6 weeks after the first dose (4 weeks pause + 2 weeks) rather than 28 weeks (6 month pause + 2 weeks) for a longer pause. Having a longer pause to maximize individual immunity might not be the fastest way to maximize population immunity during an ongoing pandemic.
The real problem is that the demand for good teachers far exceeds the supply. As a result large numbers of kids are left under educated. Teachers unions deny the existence of bad teachers. The clearest evidence for bad teachers is the existence of good teachers. Similarly, the clearest evidence of bad schools is the existence of good schools.

Interestingly, you can find bad teachers and bad schools at all points of per pupil spending. Money is an important variable, but not the only significant variable effecting student outcomes.

I think we should radically rethink teaching. We can support much better outcomes for far more kids by reducing the dependance on the quality of your teacher, school and school district.

I think it would be easier to get kids to engage with Khan and online instruction in general than to fix failing school districts and failing schools. Use the schools as support. Many are already failing at their primary task as first line instructors - just take it off their plate.
Gamelisp is also a super cool rust game development project. You expose gamelisp runtimes in different parts of your program, then compile and run it with gamelisp programs going into the various runtimes. Now you can iterate on your gamelisp parts without recompiling.

The documentation is very good(!) and the approach is very interesting imo, iteration times disappear but you can keep all your performance (by moving the logic into rust as you settle on a design).
> The V and M never communicate directly in either direction.

There’s nothing wrong in dropping a layer there.

That intermediate VM layer makes sense when the data being presented is not precisely what’s stored in the model. Good place to implement filters or pagination. Good place to validate user input. However, in other cases one doesn’t need any of that, in which case there’s nothing wrong with data binding directly to models.

> the rendering code might depend on both state layers, accessing both application state directly and derived or view-specific data from the presentation state.

In .NET with MVVM that’s easily doable, expose a property on VM that returns the model, and this will work.

> In practice, it’s unusual for a single UI event to affect both

In the apps I work on this happens all the time. User clicks “do something” button, the model needs to start doing that, in the meantime the view needs to disable that button and show “doing something, please wait…” with a progress bar.

For this reason, I normally handle such higher-level events in VMs and call models from there.

> The presentation data layer is pure computation and can be easily unit tested.

I think strongly typed languages handle 90% of what people usually unit test for, with better developer’s UX. If you change something that broke 33 places of other code, a compiler will tell you precisely which 33 places you gonna need to fix.

> switching out one UI rendering library for another or updating to integrate with some new-style platform API probably shouldn’t affect any of the data

I think that only works when switching to something extremely similar. I did when porting iPhone code to iPad, or WPF XAML to UWP XAML, but these were very similar platforms. UI libraries are complicated; replacing them with something else is huge amount of work.

> including presentation data like diagram layouts or animation logic

I don’t believe these pieces are portable in practice. Both coupled with UI libraries too much. For the diagram, half of the 2D rendering libraries are immediate mode other half are retained mode. Animations are totally different as well, CSS animations in HTML don’t have much in common with visual state manager in XAML.
Every link on the page goes through Google. I have no idea if it boosts rankings or if an intern was just too lazy to copy the right URLs, but it looks pretty sketchy...
A Google search would disagree with your assertion.
The cost argument is a spurious one too. What's the cost compared to a monthly wage or the handguns they're carrying around?
Some context for those wondering: A few years back, Continental bought the Siemens VDO Automotive business unit from Siemens. Siemens had been powering the dashboard and computing units of several auto companies, which is now owned by Continental.
My fix involved spending no money and required supporting no more devices :)
There may be some psychology at play here. By giving the police the cameras and having it focused at the people they interact with, it keeps them feeling like they are the ones in power (e.g. pointing the camera at people the same way you would point a gun).

I suspect that they would be (and demonstrably are) much less amenable if they knew citizens were wearing cameras pointed at them to record all interactions.
Thanks, this is very insightful. You did read my comments correctly in that like you I too have an S corp through which I provide my services.
The first rule of building your network is: build your network. A professional network does not happen spontaneously or by accident.
but the history proves that so far centralized storage has been safer than self storage, on average.

No it doesn't. History proves the polar opposite; MtGox alone ate more coins (>750k) than all known incidents of wallet theft together.

Best practice is to use your own wallet. Has always been this way, will likely stay this way for a long time to come.

Context is essential for understanding art.

This was released in 1991, a period of great economic and political turmoil in Russia. They were essentially in the process of switching from one-party communism to a democratic system with real private property. Many organizations were undergoing rapid (often overnight) privatization.

Just to give you an idea of the economic chaos, inflation in 1992 was 2000%. You can imagine how that plays out for a production budget.

Yet, despite the turbulence, people tried to create and to entertain.
The fines were described as being in the millions, what do you think the cost of this evacuation alone is? Hell, just the cost of the one employee constantly checking the levels for ~20 years is around a million. I don't have the exact data, but I have reasons for my guess.

Besides, you're criticizing me for the same thing you did by saying the insurance paid for the cleanup rather than the fine.
Thats what Uber likes to pretend, but at the end of the day they are the ones charging my credit card.
I wonder if there's even a reasonable way to delineate what should be regulated vs what should not. For traditional utilities, the line is pretty clear about who is providing me electricity. "Social media" and "cloud provider", however, are extremely vague terms. There are a few standout examples of what might count (FB, Twitter, ISPs), but there are innumerable examples of services that are clearly "social media" or a "cloud provider" but that clearly should not be subject to the burden of regulation. Maybe the distinction is as simple as userbase size, but that too seems like a too-crude distinction.
I can't tell you how many times I've been able to implement solutions for my organization based off of experience with personal projects. If I'm satisfied in my due diligence of the provider then I'm a lot more likely to turn around and suggest it for use in my corporate environment.

In this case it's not so much about a $100 spend, it's about them potentially leaving a lot of money on the table if they are incapable of delivering the reports in question.
It was worse than just using siemens machines and claiming they were doing it with their own.

They were taking small amounts of blood, too small for the siemens machines and then diluting it down to increase the volume.

So not only were they passing it off as if it was their own machines, but they were providing inaccurate test results leading to incorrect diagnosis.

And I can't believe they got as far as they did with the scam because lots of experts were saying what she was claiming was not possible. Because a drop of blood is simply not large enough to get a statistical result for most things tested. It doesn't matter how amazing or sensitive your machinery is, you can't give a correct result if you simply don't have a large enough sample.
