The social control might be present in the movie, but in reality it mostly doesn't exist.

In reality we generally just ignore our low productivity areas, and perhaps make sure the folks from there can't cause problems elsewhere. The NYC and SF elites occasionally try to feel good by pointless throwing $100M at local problems that money can't fix [1], but mostly they ignore Newark. The Mumbai elite don't impose social control on the rural hinterlands, they just don't go there.

5 Things I Learned as a Designer at Lego
My point is more that this looks like it might not even have one trip durability. Even your example are two very durable materials designed to not tear. This is cheap plastic...

As for dropping the straps: You are right. A light backpack doesn't need them and I even removed them from my "taking a train into the city" backpack. But considering that one of the example pictures was a "look how durable this is! It carries 25 lb of rock with no issues", it is a factor.

Hence, if your use case is that you need something that looks nice while you go to school or walk around town, this is great. If you need any form of durability because having your bag break and needing to carry stuff by hand isn't an option: this isn't.

Did you guys notice that both of your examples use sigils?

Try Avail[1]:

allChecked = select element from todos list where [element is completed]
allNotChecked = select element from todos list where [element is not completed]
todoCount = count of element in todos list where [element is completed]

I'm cheating a tiny little bit: `todos list` would probably need to be defined above as a method (I don't remember if one can have variable names with a space inside the name in Avail) and `_is completed`/`_is not completed` would also need to be defined.

Rebol or Red could be also interesting in this regard, also Forth and Factor. Still, Avail goes the farthest in terms of allowing you to write a truly human-readable code (EDIT: however, they support all of Unicode for names and such, so you can go nuts with sigils too, if you want).

Introduction to Databases in Python
The transcript[1] from a secret recording[2] of seasoned propagandist Rick "Dr. Evil" Berman, laying out his strategy for smearing environmentalists and muddying debates on behalf of Big Oil at a Western Energy Alliance[3] summit (in 2014) was an eye opener for me, in regard to this type of enterprise.

Among other gems:

> You want to get people to say, one of my north stars is to get people to say, "You know, I never thought of it that way before."

> Because, if you can get people to say that, here's what you get: instead of getting the 'he said, she said debate,' what you will get with the factual debate, often times, you're going to get into people get overwhelmed by the science and 'I don't know who to believe.' But, if you get enough on your side you get people into a position of paralysis about the issue.

> We're not experts and so you don't want them trying to be experts. But if you put enough information out there and say, "Well, it could go to $10.10 but ou could also lose a lot of jobs, the Congressional Budget Office says you can lose a lot of jobs." And again, we got a lot of ads on this thing.

> You get in people's minds a tie. They don't know who is right. And you get all ties because the tie basically ensures the status quo.

> People are not prepared to get aggressive and in moving one way or another. I'll take a tie any day if I'm trying to preserve the status quo. "

But for a fuller insight into this type of PR mindset, the whole transcript (pdf below) is worth reading.

> That's not the case now: an average middle class tax paying citizen cannot reliably invest in a real-estate (especially plots and independent houses) as half of the money is transacted in black. This is a vicious circle and pushes the prices of luxury goods, real estate etc., northwards.

I don't know if I am correct but hear me out.
I think these prices went up because people with hidden money were willing to invest more in comparison to someone with modest amount of honest income. Now when the gap between rich and poor has been narrowed down, prices has to come down to so that there can be more potential buyers which was not earlier possible as hoarders of black money were also investing their hidden money.

Work is fine. Bullshit work isn't.

> Is it possible to build a society which is not built around the concept of 'work'?

I hope so. I suppose it will happen, as more and more people realize there isn't much to be proud about working anymore. We're not making food for our community, we're not making sheets for someone else to make swords to protect our community. We're making pointless websites that are meant to trick people into buying some shit they don't need, all to make our boss richer.

Of course pop psychology is already on it, reminding us that what matters is that we're working - our professionalism, our dedication, our skill. But at some point I guess the society at large will get disillusioned about it and realize there's nothing honourable in working, because most work is no longer doing anything honourable. The pride of work is an outdated value.

"Major world events are pretty much always on topic. We just don't need minor regular news events here."

Sure, it fits, but HN is a notoriously inferior general news site.

If you heard about this first here, you're ill informed.

If this was your only source for this news, you're VERY ill informed.

It's a shame, HN first descended into being basically just a Reddit Subreddit hosted on a differently URL, and is now morphing into reddit.com/r/reddit.com (the anything-goes general reddit subreddit) with a slightly more technical audience.

Considering that the most useful link/comment in this thread is a link to a vastly superior, just incomparably more useful and informing reddit link, I think the point is made quite nicely.

Oh well, I guess HN is a wrapper around Reddit these days.
A fair point for sure, which is actually one of the reasons why I do tend to recommend the book.

ML and stats are generally the more flashy and well-known parts of data science, and so I've found that people new to the field often don't have major difficulties finding resources for learning them or finding the self motivation to dive into them. The data cleanup, on the other hand, is often the more important work to be done on projects while simultaneously being seen as the less enjoyable part. Learning how to do it well makes it a more interesting process, and pandas and this book lay a good foundation for that.

> 1. no chest strap to help distribute the load. I see a waist strap which is nice, but chest is generally the bare minimum

Chest straps don't distribute the load, they prevent the shoulder straps moving to the outside. It's a comfort thing (depending on where you prefer your shoulder straps to be) and not necessary at all. For hiking the waist strap is in fact the bare minimum, the primary load-bearing should be the hips, not the shoulders.

And this has limited relevance for ultralight since there should be very little load in the first place.

> Is there a quantitative measure for "smallest bit" of logic ?

I don't see that as a valid concern anymore. The main concerns are 1) size of script you can comprehend, debug, and maintain and 2) do the most with the fewest network/redis calls. If you're 200 line lua script replaces 5-10 individual redis calls, that's surely a win simply from the perspective of network latency and data locality.

There was a brief revival during the era of NFS mounting /usr, back in the era when /usr/doc could be a significant fraction of a filesystem and shipping whatever-doc packages made sense because it takes a long time to download at 14.4. I actually had deployed production systems with /usr/doc and some other stuff NFS mounted.

It doesn't make much sense anymore but before the turn of the century a meg of doc files might cost you a buck per machine, which might add up to a lot of money given a lot of machines and a lot of software... And usually you don't need /usr/doc but when you do need it you REALLY need it and don't mind if its a little slower to access via NFS than on a local drive.

In the same old days, some brave people exported /usr/src. Oh and X window fonts too.

Statistics in Plain English.

Data Analysis Using Regression by Gelman

Introduction/Elements of Statistical Learning by Jerome Friedman. I recommend reading the Introduction and using the bigger book as a reference material when tackling a problem.

Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd edition by Gelman.

You need calc 1 & 2 and matrix algebra somewhere along the way.

Lots of papers, googling and doing. That's when you got the basics covered. You start being "operational" after Data Analysis Using Regression.

When you start working on a problem, you need to go through the relevant literature first. Nobody ix expert or even half-good in more than 2 or 3 (small) areas of statistics. Read the literature, take notes and create a plan first.

I'm in London too, $120K job in today's London market (£100K) only exists in some banks, hedge fund and HFT companies, and you'll definitely need 10year+ experience to get those jobs.

I think the salary gap between US and UK programmers in the last decade has definitely increased.

One reason is exchange rate, only a few years ago GBP/USD is 1.5x, now it's 1.2x.

Another reason is that tech sector boomed in the US, big companies like google and Facebook are doing really well, there are also more successful small companies, fuelled by VC money. together they drive programmer salary up.

However, the UK economy is totally dominated by finance. And the banks are not doing particularly good after 2007.

It does have a bunch of tests, although probably not enough. I've been meaning to add code coverage stats to its CI, although I've only used kcov for Rust code coverage so far, and that only works on Linux it wouldn't reflect reality very well. I've done a lot of work on test automation at Mozilla over the years so automated testing is pretty important to me. :)

I've tried to write unit tests where they made sense, they're generally placed within the relevant source file in the tree, like the cache tests here:
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/6eadccc9d6752747766d...

I also wrote some higher-level tests that test the server functionality:
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/master/src/test/test...

I rolled my own set of traits and structs to mock process execution for those tests so they would run independent of the compilers installed on the system:
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/master/src/mock_comm...

I actually like how that code turned out, I've thought about cleaning it up and publishing it as a standalone crate. Rust doesn't have a real test mocking solution yet, and even if it did this is a special case since the standard library's process execution types don't implement a trait that could be mocked.

As development went on I realized I didn't have automated tests that tested the whole program, especially running against real compilers (which is important given that the tool is a compiler wrapper), so I wrote some "system" tests that run the actual binary with an actual compiler and local disk cache and verify that it works as expected:
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/blob/master/src/test/syst...
And that's a likely scenario? You actually have them on different bits of hardware or something? It's so arbitrary - why not split it further, what goes where? If you want to achieve splitting important stuff off to special storage, I'm sure that'd still be possible.

Also, why recover a system like that when I can just boot off a USB stick?

This is just a hack that's stuck around from when people had tiny drives and needed multiple partitions for these things, as far as I understand it.
> There are estimates that the Dyn attack was 1.2Tbps. What provider do you work for that can absorb that?

I work for F5 Silverline.

It would be naive to brush off that size of attack as it would stress any DDoS mitigation provider.

We have the capacity to take it (and are adding a lot more in the coming months precisely because of attacks like this and the previous big one that hit Brian Kerbs) but you would have to talk to Sales about what sort of guarantees we would be willing to provide.

That said, at least that would be our problem, since we would have to pay for the bandwidth consumed - not the customer! ;)

> Does scrubbing work with a bunch of randomized source ports and source address? How do you find the "signature" in that to scrub? It was my understanding that the traffic in the Dyn attacks was indistinguishable from legitimate traffic. Can you explain how traffic scrubbing works in such scenarios? Or do you just drop stuff on the floor?

(Answer from one of my more knowledgeable colleagues since I work on supporting the infrastructure rather than DDoS mitigation itself):

Most attack traffic has a signature of its behaviour beyond source IP and port.

For simple flood attacks, connection rate-limiting per source IP is very effective. Typically there are some simple firewall rules that will work too, especially with attacks generated against targets that don’t support the attack vector (e.g. block all GRE traffic coming to your website which is only TCP 80/443).

If the attack is operating at L7, there are additional fingerprinting methods we can use around HTTP headers, intelligent rate-limiters, JavaScript injection to prove an actual human, etc.
I spent my last years of high school in Las Vegas. My school was downtown, just blocks from the Fremont Street Experience. We were surrounded by people who were impoverished by gambling. A lot of the people running and working in casinos don't gamble themselves (smart). And those who opposed gambling on moral grounds but participated in the gambling economy justified it with statements like, "Gambling is a sin, but I'm not gambling, so I'm ok." Neglecting the negative impact they had on many people.

They slept just fine at night. Most people seem to be quite capable of this sort of detachment from the impact of their choices.
NASA: EM Drive Works
The problem with hashcash for email is that there's no way for the sender and receiver to negotiate the amount of work to be proved, so they must correctly guess how much to perform/require. The most sensible requirement to guess is zero, since all existing email is sent without any proof of work, and the value of interoperability is higher than blocking spam. After all, if you're willing to lose interoperability, you can block 100% of spam by just not using email at all!

Note that it may be possible to have servers negotiate an amount of work to perform, but having someone else (the server) perform the work defeats the point of the system. The client must be told to do the work, but it's a core feature of email that it's not realtime: messages can be composed offline, and queued up by servers, so by the time a "needs more work" response is received, there's no way for the server to send a message back to the client.

As somebody who does tolerate Stallman's nonsense, I can tell you why: It's because some of his software is really good. Like Emacs. I'm willing to bet that you're a VI user, but for us Emacs users, there really is no substitute. And if you want a Scheme package, Guile is a really good one (although it's not as efficient as some of the compiled schemes): Andy is doing a great job with it.

There are other examples, like tar (I know you would disagree, but dammit, GNU tar is so useful). When there isn't, or Stallman deliberately cripples his software, there are usually alternatives (clang, etc.) which we use, unless "we" are FSF people. Which most of us aren't.

Yes, his attitude is somewhat broken, although I understand why it exists. Also, he's not quite as NIH as you seem to think: There are several cases where he advocates use of software that isn't his own (heck, he advocates clang, or at least has no problem with it).

Also, I have no objection to long options, or to utilities that are a little bit richer (just so long as they still interoperate, and you can still use the standard options, which is usually the case).
