A case in point: Baptiste Daroussin wrote up documentation for EVFILT_FS in kevent. FreeBSD actually has had this for a decade, not that one would know it from the doco (because contrary to the norm the code was patched without amending the doco to match). This was in 2010. The doco patch was never actually added.

Quicksight has been frustrating to work with to say the least. Generic error after error with no debugging info, poor integration with Athena, lacks the ability to plot data more granular than hourly, and with a max limit of 4 decimal precision accuracy. I guess if you're in sales it could be fine, but nowhere near ready for any serious analytics.
Just to add to what jjobi says and agree with point here, we have to battle test this, and the best way to get there is to start in the open. So this is the start :).

The fundamental thing here is that (a) it's taking a specific approach [with layers], (b) we're in it for the long-haul, and (c) we want this to be in the open. We’ll update as the battle-testing, production progress continues. So 100% agree with the question/point.

15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. The current ban would have done nothing to prevent them from coming here.

I could see a ban making some sense, but any ban that leaves out Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia has deficiencies so glaring that it would never be worth the suffering caused.
I hope they have to pay through the nose for this as well:

An individual is but one individual. Societies ills should not be dismissed nor diminished because of an individual or even group. Society affects everyone in vastly larger ways.

I'm thinking of it as similar to a companies products. A company will refund you if you bring them evidence that they sold you a defective product or service (in a good state of the world). That individual bad product hurts their bottom line, but typically in a small enough way to be mostly ignorable. Now when the company has to issue a multimillion dollar recall some internal process or procedure to the company needs to change. The general operating parameters of the company affect its overall "health" much more than a one off "bad product". In this analogy, societies are the company and it's individuals are the products.

The issue is with consuming the tweets. Publishing the data somewhere else has the same problems as publishing on Twitter.

1. The Twitter ToS prevents scraping the content in section 4.iii.

2. If you use the API instead, they have this rule:

> Only surface Twitter activity as it surfaced on Twitter. For example, your Service should execute the unlike and delete actions by removing all relevant Content, not by publicly displaying to other users that the Tweet is no longer liked or has been deleted.

Ask HN: Data engineering conferences?
I have an annual conference "allowance" from my employer. My work is almost entirely about data engineering type work; data pipelines, distributed computing (Spark, Hadoop), distributed databases, Big Data, web services for access, etc.

I'd like to maximize the benefit for spending time and money on these conferences.

Which conferences would you recommend and why?

"There are many reasons for the common understanding forged by Finns and Native Americans, but above all they were united by their intimate relationship with the forest. Just like the Ojibwa Finns hunted, fished and foraged. The locals also valued Finns’ handiwork skills: the ability to build a boat or carve skis. Finns learned how to cultivate maize and use medicinal herbs, among other things. In return they lent their expertise in building log cabins and weaving shoes out of birch bark."
Whatever I have seen is they are keen on removing any kind of regulation so I would expect they believe abandoning net neutrality will benefit end users by increasing choice. They just argued that requiring retirement advisers to work in the interest of the people they are advising is bad for the end user.
You're assuming dreams originate from in you rather than them being something that is reflected on your (sleeping) consciousness. Kind of similar to presuming the brain is what fundamentally generates consciousness.
This works well for any follow or subscription based network. Taking the instant gratification and new-content-every-five-minutes aspects out, just leaves you with something that does not incentivise you to keep returning so often (and therefore waste your time).

I have several friends who would benefit a lot if they stopped following hundreds of accounts, keeping their feeds and brains busy with "nothing."
Standing next to an unshielded nuclear reactor should get you a bit of nucleosynthesis from all the neutrons. There is the unfortunate side effect of dying painfully, but everything has tradeoffs.
I pulled the 99% out of thin air, I just wanted to emphasize how small I estimate the chances of this being true. I found one analysis [1] that found that creationist or only half as likely to be engineers as the general population, admittedly only using data from a preexisting survey as proxy for the question at hand.

Maybe it is a naive view on my side but I expect that additional education will make it less likely that one believes religious claims to be true in general and this extends to becoming an engineer and being a creationist.

But even if there was indeed a correlation of the form claimed by the Salem hypothesis, I would naturally want to look for traits that make it more likely for one to become an engineer and a creationist, not for something that causes engineers to become creationists.

You did not explicitly spell it out this way and I am inclined to think you do not think this causation exists, but your response to a comment suggesting that it might be a good choice to become an engineer at least allows the interpretation that becoming an engineer causes becoming a creationist.

And I obviously consider the idea of a causal relationship between being an engineer and being a creationist even more unlikely than that of certain traits increasing the likelihood of becoming an engineer as well as a creationist.

Not that it is unlikely in the general case that learning about X makes one more likely to also believe Y, that is actually certainly pretty common, but in the concrete case I am really unable to see which things one learns when becoming an engineer are suitable to turn one into a creationist.

Finally I am not sure what you wanted the express with the Evolution 2.0 article, but at least in the linked article the reasoning is heavily flawed.

Except people, on average, don't do that. So what the grandparent comment said holds true.
The common guideline is 6 mo and 2 yo. Those ages are commonly viewed as cutoffs for risk levels.
In our hospital for example, the presence of an attending will be required for induction/waking up of anesthesia under 2 years old. Under 6 months, the risk of respiratory complication is far greater, which is why surgery is withheld until that age, except in emergencies.

Everyone misses weatherspark. It's been a year since they went down and there's still no replacement for their historical weather viewer. I know they decided to stop because their flash based API for the radar map was depreciated but even just the historical and predicted line plots of weather data I'd pay money for.

Ventusky is no weatherspark replacement and I don't think the models they're drawing their data from would work for one.

Just the opposite. I've wished for more than a decade that Java would be more like C#. Even more since Oracle took over the stewardship of Java.

With .NET Core and Microsoft's new CEO's vision, I am excited for the future of C# (and F#) and very happy to put Java behind me. The CLR is a lot nicer than the JVM too.

Now if only the ClojureCLR could get the support that ClojureJVM had, I'd be done with the JVM entirely.
In the recent times, for some other unrelated reasons, my browsing of FB pages and people's profiles was a bit slow from the network and download side (I always use a browser to visit Facebook, not the app). I noticed how accurate Facebook was in classifying photos when I saw the alt text captions for photos (before the image loaded). It was impressive, being able to say approximately how many people were there, whether a person was smiling, whether a photo was a selfie, whether a person was standing, whether a picture contained a landscape, trees and many other things.

It was also creepy that Facebook knew so much, because though I use Facebook for specific purposes and try to limit what I put there, I didn't imagine that images could convey so much information/metadata that would be useful to the underlying platform.

Is there some sort of formal research on symbols in dreams, or on dream interpretation in general?

I am certain that the vast majority of my dreams are very intricate allegories, but it doesn't feel like a very scientific or testable belief.
A lot of the new workers probably work in warehouses where they are basically a kind of more intelligent robot. I know a guy who worked in one and you can learn that job in a few days. It's harder to maintain the required pace for long though.

Well, half of it will. The half life of potassium-40 is ~1.25 billion years. It decays to calcium-40 about 89% of the time and argon-40 11%. When using potassium-40 decay for dating, the usual method is determining the ratio of K-40 to radiogenic Ar-40 [1]. This is not easy and involves irradiating samples in a nuclear reactor.

I do understand. It's not a problem for me. But look at all the terrorized people commenting on this story. They already think anesthesia means death to the kids, or something. You are not helping them.
They used to, but now they use Piper which is built on top of mercurial.
...which means newspapers are failing to educate the public, which is what the OP is complaining about.

Just because they don't doesn't mean they shouldn't.
For whatever reason, nobody has brought up the actual thought processes of the people who support this ban. My understanding of the arguments is this:

1. too many terrorist attacks in the U.S. have been committed by people born overseas

2. many come from certain "bad actor" or otherwise dysfunctional countries; that they are majority-Muslim is true but it's an incidental fact, not the reason, which is international terrorism

3. the visa vetting process is therefore dysfunctional

4. so the U.S. should pause the visa process for countries referenced in point 2 until point 3 is resolved; it's better to be safe than sorry with respect to point 1

It's my understanding that the comparison to Obama is to support that point 2 isn't about being racist but about practical national security concerns that Obama shared. The difference with Obama's policy is a difference in the degree of concern, not type of concern. That is, if Trump is really racist here, then Obama's at least a little racist, which doesn't seem to be the contention of most people appalled by this executive order.

...that's my understanding of the thought process translated into HN-friendly lingo, anyway.
Aha!

I observed the same thing late last year when I use a foldable wristpad with magnets inside that I got from an AT&T booth at a tech conference.

So this is not limited to that specific LG display. Mine is an LG 24MA32D that I bought about 3 years ago.
The last time I looked, the perpetrators of mass casualty incidents in the US were at best only 40-50% immigrants. Even for most of the immigrants, I suspect they were radicalized subsequent to entry in the US.

The number of terrorists that the travel ban would have stopped is at best in the low single digits. It is not at all clear that the number will exceed the number of people in the US who will become radicalized due to this policy (which I would also estimate at low single digits).
Ask HN: Kibana, Grafana, Chatbots, SMS – How do you keep an eye on your product?
I've been playing with ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stacks for the past couple months and that has given me great insights into what my product is doing in a clustered state in real time. That coupled with a few monitoring scripts and I've finally gotten past feeling helpless. I have a few people saying I should check out Grafana, and I've seen several paid services in this areas too (logentries for example).

I also use chatbots to notify me when things are going wrong, or say when a customer signs up.

How do you keep track of your products, keep monitoring costs low, and know what's going on?
TrueOS (PC-BSD successor) recently switched to it (https://www.trueos.org/handbook/postinstall.html#use-of-open...) citing much faster boot times due to parallel launching.
Your comment is a good example tightrope that Mozilla is on.

I've switched to Firefox a few times over the past years, but usually I'd switch back to Chrome because, whether true or not, it felt more performant/cleaner/better. The main reason I bothered trying to switch back to Firefox was always the versatility or 'freedom'. Stuff like the tree-style tab plugin.

Realistically, for me to break my usual patterns and try Firefox again would have to involve at least one of the following:

- equal (perceived) performance to Chrome
- freedom/versatility in regards to plugins
- some as-of-yet not seen before advantage

With all else being equal, or even ever so slightly worse than Chrome, I'd go for Firefox simply because I distrust Google.

Thing is, I'd characterize myself as much more security- and privacy-conscious than most people, and yet I'm still on Chrome despite giving Firefox a shot at least once a year for the past few years or so. I catch myself forgetting to test the stuff I make on FF occasionally (I'm a web developer). While I'm by no means a paragon of sticking with my beliefs, I'm still a bit of a privacy-weenie. The fact that I'm not using Firefox worries me a bit.

The fact that I can't quite explain it frustrates me. If I had to give a reason as to why I use Chrome instead of Firefox, I'd say there are two primary reasons and a very vague third one:

1. Chrome is just more familiar at this point, especially its dev tools
2. Firefox feels like one of those Java applets: slow to boot and alien to my OS (moreso than Chrome).
3. Chrome feels snappier

> They maintained a replication process across both tables as they updated the read processes before updating the write process. Say for whatever reason their offline replication process broke for 2 hours.

From the article I got the impression that both tables were being written to in the same database transaction, so this is not a possible failure scenario at all.
Unless I'm missing something, the article gives exactly 0 information (or even speculation) on why people think this. It's just a lot of examples of people thinking so.
Along this line, there's an excellent writeup from the Ford Foundation on this topic: http://www.fordfoundation.org/library/reports-and-studies/ro...
And even then, there were still a number of high-profile terrorist groups around the world connected to the Cold War/anti-colonialism. The Red Army Faction, the Japanese Red Army, various PLO factions, the IRA, etc. In the U.S. alone there a bunch of different groups (Weather Underground, Symbionese Liberation Army, Black Liberation Army, Puerto Rican nationalists etc.).

There was also a lot of violent groups on the Right, but for whatever reason they didn't get labelled as terrorists as much and didn't seem to have the same kind of view of ideological solidarity. So the Sabra and Shatila massacre doesn't tend to get labelled a terrorist attack even though it dwarfed the actions of most of the above groups in brutality and death toll, and as far as I know there wasn't much solidarity between the Phalange and the KKK (even though they were both violent right-wing Christian groups).

If you watch Jeff Bezos Ted talk years ago, he made the comparison that back in the day, Beer Brewers used to have to generate their own electricity.

Similarly, services like AWS provide companies with that type of infrastructure (data or internet in this case) so they can focus on building out features.

But to your point, it gets expensive at some point and I am surprised that Snap is still outsourcing this instead of having their own data centers. I guess it's because the CEO is not strong Technology-wise so the company is focused on Product?
And during WWI there were similar issues for ethnically-German Americans. For whatever reason, I don't know much about what the ethnic-German experience in WWII was — maybe after the first war ethnic Germans just blended into mainstream American culture.
If you trust your intuition, you've known this is one of the MANY purposes of sleep for a while now. The western science culture of needing scientists to validate what you know as true damages our own ability to trust ourselves. You're not going to have statistical and scientifically proven evidence for 99.99% of most things you encounter in your daily life. That's why the mindset of waiting around for science to prove something is harmful. You need to be able to go with your own intuition most of the time. Anyway, this was obvious. And keep in mind, it's just one of the purposes--can things not have multiple purposes??
