Thank goodness there a people that get this. I ran screaming from a devops role I'd been in for two years around 6 months ago. This thought process of "complexity == good", "old == bad" - watching the company starting to pull apart an already unstable product and break it down into microservices when they could't even document their existing codebase, how to bootstrap a new instance.

Most puppet installations I've seen run by these small teams just degenerate into snowflake factories. Going to all that effort to run a huge packer pipeline so your templates are the same accross all your clouds providers - and then pulling whatever-the-current-random-version-of-a-bunch-of gems from rubygems.org onto hundreds of different machines. Arggggh!

The argument I keep hearing is that "if we don't use all the latest tools then how are we going to attract the best talent".

Every few years I dip my toes back into the devops space, just to see if it's improving. Nope. It's just getting worse.
Hyperbole?

My apologies if I was wrong. I believe I got it from the nytimes article on the topic published a few months ago.

Yeah, I ran ext2 in production a ton. I actually don't remember ever losing and subsequently finding anything in lost+found; in fact, almost every single one of my fsck or fsck -y were successful.... EXCEPT

One time on my personal machine, someone talk bombed me once, and I somehow had to not only recover the superblock from about the 8th backup location (yeah, the first 7 or so failed), but I also had to manually recover some files based on the inode data. But it worked!

FWIW, the majority of the first page of this user's comment history (6/10) are complaining about feminism in some fashion.

(I don't generally like looking at people's comment history, but one, you're absolutely spot-on that it would be easy to change the simulation - it's public domain and it's in JavaScript, this is Hacker News, if you don't know how to edit the JS console yourself there are tons of people who will gladly help if you ask, so the lack of curiosity is interesting. And two, I've seen some sort of shift in more vocal MRA-adjacent / alt-right-adjacent viewpoints on this site in recent weeks and I've been kind of curious where it's coming from.)

Anyway, in the hope of not dragging this too far off-topic: 'tnone, do you have a specific change you'd like to see implemented in the simulation? I'd be happy to implement the change and rehost it and see what happens. I think there are genuine criticisms to be made (for instance, https://github.com/ncase/polygons/issues/9 sounds worth some investigation, despite the phrasing of the comment thread). But given how easy it is to apply actual data to these questions, I think we should do that to avoid FUD.

In particular, how about changing the radius to be the surrounding 24 squares (two steps out, instead of one), or making it less likely that an individual polygon will move again shortly after it has moved?

>same as any other citizen.

Hardly. Some citizens own media outlets and can hire and fire journalists based on their political leanings. Some citizens pay millions of dollars to media outlets for non-political advertising and can adjust their purchases depending on the reporting of the media outlet. Are you going to tell media outlets they can't talk about politics? Or do you disagree that media outlets have influence over elections (at least, more than I do)? I'd guess they have more influence than paid advertisements.

> and is gently asserting a point that this distinction is not to be believed.

> McDonald's is qualitatively the same as food from many fast food restaurants that try to market themselves as above fast food.

This assumes incorrectly that the only use of the distinction is a one-dimensional measure of quality. A couple of uses for the distinction that have nothing to do with "quality":

1) I don't tend to eat at chain restaurants much because I don't tend to eat at the same restaurants much (ie, I really like variety). This was pretty much true even for the few years that I ate every single weekend meal at restaurants (or takeout).

2) Part of chain restaurants' explicit goal is mass appeal and consistency of taste. Practically by definition, you're less likely to find the niche of flavor that appeals to you the most directly, or even as high a level of novelty and diversity of flavor as you would if going to holes in the wall.

3) I'm cheating a little bit making this a separate bullet pt, but #2 works the other way as well, since some people explicitly prefer consistency of flavor and knowing exactly what to expect to being adventurous about flavors and tastes. This isn't a value judgment: I had a girlfriend who described her taste as preferring bland food and there's no real basis for me to claim that I had "better" taste than her.

It occurs to me that these examples are all pretty tightly related to the notion of chain restaurants providing consistency and mass appeal, but that doesn't really change my point at all.

Author here. Thank you! Yes, I think you have the basic gist of it. Split each line, then move an endpoint. There's nothing too complicated about the algorithm, the trick is really around fine tuning all of the possible parameters. If it's not obvious, my approach is purely going after aesthetic effects.
I see this "quality" thing mentioned time and again about McDonald's, somehow assumed because McDonald's is a giant "fast food" joint. I have commented about this in the past [1]. Here's a brief recap:

- McDonald's gives you consistent quality, taste and nutrition.

- It's fast.

- It's (food) safe.

- They provide nutritional info on all their products.

Until you can acquire nutritional info on the food sold by the hip joint you're fond of, you can't know if it's of a higher "quality" or healthy for that matter.

I also assume you don't mean "taste" when talking about quality.

>1.) In general Star Trek isn't really about physics, its about sociology or (in the better episodes) political science.

I've never watched Star Trek, though curiously I know another show set in space about politics, the anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes; it runs about 100 episodes with a few feature films too. If you're interested in politics, specifically in this case the play between a democracy and rule by one person.

It's also rather quaint, the imperial military is styled in a 19th century German style complete with uniforms, and the republic is styled in a modern futuristic style, not without berets though.

It's great fun, but I don't suggest it be discounted because it's an anime, which is a response I have received before.
One of my favorite movies, and favorite one of the genre by far. If anyone who loves this movie hasn't seen the commentary track on the DVD, get it immediately. The actors present on the commentary are all in character so it sort of feels like a second movie.
I grew up in a small suburb of Cleveland. My parents still live there and they tell me that not a day goes by without seeing another overdose in the paper. They've become so common that they stop running stories, they just add them in the obituaries. People I went to grade school with are among the overdose deaths, too.

I'm not sure Mike DeWine's lawsuit will do anything, or that it is even the best move to reducing overdoses. But damn, it is heartbreaking watching so many people die that way.
I am not sanguine about this. It's not just a meaningless word. It's an incomplete sentence. Did he have a stroke or a fit and not be able to finish his thought? Why did he leave an incomplete and garbled post up for 6 hours? Given his erratic posts, he must have a minder watching this for issues. Why didn't the minder address this immediately? Was there panic in the White House as they dealt with this? Whatever, something did happen.
UCSD: Nanopore-Based Protein Identification
Perhaps I'm being dense, but I don't understand your math. If $3.4 billion represents the 30% Uber cut, then that means total gross bookings is about $11.3 billion. If they raise prices six percent, and have no loss of volume, then total gross bookings comes to about $12 billion.

However, wouldn't you still assume Uber only would get 30% of that extra $700 million in gross bookings? I.e. revenue would only be .3 x $12 billion, which is $3.6 billion, still leaving Uber 500 million short?
> it was uncertain if detonating the bomb would ignite the whole atmosphere and kill off all life on earth.

This was known before it was dropped on a city. The Trinity test happened about three weeks prior to dropping the first bomb on Japan. The second bomb was dropped with full knowledge of the potential casualties after the devastation of the first.

We Americans always justify these bombs, but really, there is no justification.
>What I meant is that voters should never have to pay to vote.

Great comment! Yes, there are many other approaches that are more true to reality, to the point where they are fairly thorough simulations of physics. My approach is somewhat like a five minute figure drawing sketch compared to the equivalent of hyper-realistic 100 hour paintings. Neither is necessarily a better approach, but both are good for different goals. What I like about my approach is that it is very easy for me to understand and manipulate. I can take advantage of this to make new effects that are less like reality but still intriguing in their own way.
Can I create a video and post it on my private youtube channel, as a private individual?

Can I spend $10 million creating the youtube video, if I have that much money as a private individual?

Can I organize a group of 10 friends to each spend $1 million on the youtube video?

Can I organize 1 million people to spend $10 each on said video?

Note that under McCain-Feingold (which is the law that was at issue in Citizens United) the answer to the second question is "yes", as far as I can tell: the law instituted restrictions on corporations and unions, not on rich individuals.

Whether the answer is "yes" for the second and third question would have depended on whether youtube counts as "broadcast, cable, or satellite communication" as well as whether a gofundme campaign should fund under the law, and so forth. So it's really not that hard to come up with loopholes around this stuff, if you want to allow spontaneous grassroots production of political youtube videos.

(Also, one person's "political ad" is another person's "documentary", often enough; this goes in both directions.)

What nine_k meant is that 120mg is too much, so the person gets a tiny buzz at first. But instead of acclimating with a consistent dose as you suggested, they wait 12 hours until the drug has worn off, causing a crash. Then they repeat the high/low cycle, causing an addiction.
Couldn't read the article due to paywall, but an underground/overground parking structure is more expensive per square foot (due to reinforcement and earthquake safety requirements) compared to residential square feet, so developers are always trying to wiggle their way out of parking requirements, which just externalizes the problem to nearby streets.

Turns out people who buy cheaper units still need/want to drive, or occasionally have friends or family who arrive by car.

The end result is a bunch of nasty comments on local Facebook groups and NextDoor, comments on a-holes who hog the spots with their commercial trucks or RVs and people parking out for days just to save themselves (or their friends) a spot.

Eventually residents get enough and lobby the city council to zone their streets as "resident parking only".
It can be difficult to quantify "better". It is easier to quantify "different". If the goal is to truly learn, try the things most different from what you already know first. Even if it's not strictly better, it will be different, and it will open your mind to different ways to view problems.
I see, so it's just uniformity of production. How fortunate that you are to be able to tour this! Cheers.

Gezerjay notes,

>The NY times article on Trump's budget shows that essentially every single budget entry gets heavily slashed, with the notable exceptions of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs.

which supports my point. Science research spending is cut significantly across the board; other spending is cut as well. Just because spending cuts are "across the board" does not mean it is a good choice or an appropriate allocation of resources. In my opinion, cutting science funding is a bad idea. A massive increase in defense spending does not seem appropriate either.

Your ad hominum comment, "your kind of whiny demagoguery posts are becoming an effective techie repellent" is out of place on HN. Funding of scientific research and development is an important aspect of science and technology and is worthy of discussion here.
"Changing locations is barely given a blurb in the article and I don't see how it would help that much"
"that you're creating a subconscious association with the place you're studying in and the thing you're learning"

I think so, see state dependent memory. Mood and intoxication can play a role here as well. [1]

"recalling and learning it in another location you're adding another association and strengthening the common paths"

I think so, see aaachilless's sibling comment [2] about the pattern becoming generic.

As others have mentioned, they already have in several places. The UI is horrible and confusing though, you have to find the picture of the burger you're after, like selecting a netflix movie, which is even worse with McDonalds because the picture looks nothing like what you get.

Much like self serve checkouts they increase time but move that cost onto the customer.

You're ignoring that businessmen who travel all the time are very heavy users of Uber and similar services.

I'm not even a frequent flyer, but I'd estimate that a good 80-90% of my Uber usage is travel-related. At home, I have tons of other options to get around, but on a tight schedule in an unfamiliar city, I basically default to Uber all the time, because I rarely have the time or risk tolerance explore alternatives.

One of the things I love about Uber is that I can use it in SF, Singapore, Manila, Helsinki, wherever. It also works sufficiently well that I have near-zero incentive to try out Lyft/Grab/Ola/whatever, particularly since this usually involves yet another tedious sign-up process of entering credit cards and PIN confirmations and yadda yadda.
