It looks like none of the technical problems that resulted in it being voted down last time have been addressed?

I liked this comment about #MultipleModuleVersions:

"...Addressing this issue may entail reconsidering the multiple versions non-requirement. [Mike Hearn]

"Resolution Defer a specific solution of this problem to a future release since effective, though crude, solutions already exist and the lack of an immediate solution should not block developers who want to modularize existing applications. [Proposal]"
But you have to admit those are all valid use-cases for Wallabag.
Gotta love HN comments.

"We could hand pollinate, but that would really suck."

"OMG how could you say that, hand pollination would be awful!"
Currently no webapp but I opened an issue for it :D, and I agree on the IP issue, I'll see if I can come up with something better there.

Greystar Real Estate Partner Sensitive Files Exposed on Google Dumped on DarkWeb
I know this is written as OO, but it is very functional in style. Keeping IO as far away from entities and business rules goes a very long way in easing maintenance. However, sometimes you need to do IO in your business rules, which necessitates interfaces for mocking.

IMO, this general idea is very powerful for most code. I believe algebraic effect systems will popularize it further by making it a natural pattern. While OO should be written in this way, we are currently in this weird period of programming history where we don't talk about practices and design as seriously as we should.

But, I'm glad you mentioned this approach. It is not hard to understand, it is elegant, and it is as simple as can be. Just requires a tiny amount of glue and forethought.
SEEKING WORK - Remote or London, UK

I'm a seasoned DevOps guy with 15 years experience hosting and tuning applications.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stack-instances namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich.

+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects

+ Lots, lots more.

Probably because the typical anti-MS comments would be worse for them than the risk of ransomware (from their perspective):

"Windows eats all my hard disk!! I've updated to <windows xy>/Windows did an update and now all my disk space is gone!!! Don't update!!!!"

"New MS update steals your disk space, here's how to stop it"

And so on, and so on.
I'd be very curious to see actual data about this. I'm not sure one way or the other. Most of the Model S owners I know are people who previously would not have considered buying a car in that price range, so they weren't really potential S Class customers. It's amazing to me how many friends who used to drive Toyotas or at most low-end BMWs and Audis are now spending nearly $100K to get a Tesla. At the same time, the people I know who have cars like the S Class or 7 Series tend to value their refinement and interior quality, which the Model S doesn't really match yet. It doesn't seem like many of them have made the switch (a few have a Model S as an additional car rather than a replacement).

In my world it seems like Tesla has successfully brought a bunch of new buyers to a higher price point, without seriously tempting many of the people who were already buying in that price range. But obviously this is just based on anecdotes and my limited view of the world. So I'd love to see real data about who is buying these cars, and how many of them would have otherwise bought something like an S Class.
The content of religious texts and the nuance of interpretation is debated heavily by tons of religious people.

It's simply that if you believe more or less in the texts but don't have faith in that one fact, your beliefs are more in line with Jews or Muslims who believe Jesus was a prophet, but aren't so sold on the literal resurrection/savior/son of god/messiah aspect.

It doesn't account for the unknowns in our knowledge. All it does is replace best guess single value estimates with probability distributions - which is a useful exercise, but is still statistical hand-waving.

The last four terms in the Drake equation are completely unknown. There's no point even trying to estimate them, because we simply have no clue how to estimate realistic distributions. We don't even have good data yet on the frequency of earth-like planets throughout the galaxy, because our planet-hunting techniques aren't sensitive enough to provide useful accuracy. We have some idea how many rocky planets exist in habitable zones, but there's no way to get from there to an accurate estimate of truly habitable planets.

The third term is only slightly more amenable to estimation. What does "life" mean? Clearly for Drake it means life that can send signals we might pick up after a scientific search.

But it life sends something so completely unexpected that we're not only not looking for it, but likely to overlook it, then we won't see it - for many possible reasons.

What's the distribution? No one knows.

So in fact, there are no useful priors for most of the equation.

As the over-used phrase says, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. It's evidence of absence of evidence, and it's unwise to be too dogmatic about drawing further conclusions.

While people do notice faces and thus skin tone, one more obvious identifier, besides height, is gait and walk cadence.

Most foreigners will walk a different way from locals and it's really noticeable.

But dress is really important. Locals will wear some locally available brands, foreigners typically will keep on wearing the same brands they wore back home.

All that said, being 6'5" where just about everyone else is at least 6" shorter is a pretty unavoidable distinguishable difference.
Can You Beat This Rooster
This is why Secure Boot is a thing.
In that case it's not necessarily a bad sign. Adobe did the same thing before and during its cloud transition and it seems to be fine. I feel that these audits are basically collecting money that's already on the table, even though the practice itself might seem petty.

Microsoft also seems on track for a successful cloud transition.
My last sentence stated that the NHS should hold the people who screwed up responsible or fix the broken systems that allowed this to take place. As I said a fine is of no benefit to the public and prosecution would only be used in repeat or intentional breaches of the DPA (which I'm guessing this wasn't). Therefore it's up to the NHS to sort out the problem within their organisation.

>> I work in a craft studio and face a large fine - so I'm told - if I reveal personal data, or make that possible

I'm guessing you're subject to the exact same process the NHS has went through here. The only reason you would be more likely to receive the fine is because it makes sense as you're not funded by the taxpayer. Fining the NHS is in effect fining the taxpayer for breaching the rights of the taxpayer. It's the same reason the police and other public bodies don't often get fined.
This is wrong in multiple ways. The p-value is not an error rate even if the null model is correct, "alpha" (the cutoff, usually 0.05) is the error rate.

The p-value also has nothing to do with "how likely it is we are seeing the result of a chance." As you note regarding the t-distribution, the p-value calculation assumes the null model is true (which not necessarily, but usually amounts to "chance did it").

How can a procedure both at once assume something is true and give you the probability it is true? You are also using the term "likelihood" in a strange way (it has a specific meaning when it comes to statistics). Anyway, your comments seem to indicate you hold two standard misinterpretations of p-values:

1 If P = .05, the null hypothesis has only a 5% chance of being true.

2 A nonsignificant difference (eg, P >= .05) means there is no difference between groups.

3 A statistically significant finding is clinically important.

4 Studies with P values on opposite sides of .05 are conflicting.

5 Studies with the same P value provide the same evidence against the null hypothesis.

6 P = .05 means that we have observed data that would occur only 5% of the time under the null hypothesis.

7 P = .05 and P <=.05 mean the same thing.

8 P values are properly written as inequalities (eg, “P <=.02” when P =.015)

9 P = .05 means that if you reject the null hypothesis, the probability of a type I error is only 5%.

10 With a P = .05 threshold for significance, the chance of a type I error will be 5%.

11 You should use a one-sided P value when you don’t care about a result in one direction, or a difference in

that direction is impossible.

12 A scientific conclusion or treatment policy should be based on whether or not the P value is significant.

Mentoring and contributing to open-source are, by far, two of the best techniques I've encountered for overcoming impostor syndrome.

The old saying that "the best way to learn is to teach" has proven true for me time and again. It forces me to verbalize my knowledge, and if I'm unable to do that, it means I don't really understand it as well as I thought and have to return to Google or Stack Overflow until I can verbalize it.

Contributing to open source has been a great way for me to apprentice under those who know more than me. It forces me to read code until I understand it and can make improvements to it. And it forces me to justify the changes I'm making through thoughtful, well-documented pull requests.

Finally, remember that Hacker News will always make you feel like you have a ways to go on your journey. There will always be people out there who know more than you do, just as there will always be people out there who are richer / better-looking / etc. HN attracts lots of technically-minded people, including those who are in the top 0.1% of their field, and the posts those folks make naturally attract a disproportionate share of attention, comments, and upvotes. That creates a survivorship bias, since especially when you consider that most people like you and me (i.e. people who are still earning their stripes) tend to do more lurking than posting.

No recruiters please.
I've found that sometimes, emailing one or more of the authors of a paper will yield me a copy.

I typically say I'm a "hobbyist researcher" or something of that nature, and will generally have a response in a week, if not quicker. This even sometimes works for papers just published. I always assure the researcher that it's for my personal use only, and won't be uploaded/republished (and I uphold that part rigorously). Sometimes I've been given extra stuff (source code, other data, etc), without asking for it.

So sometimes, you can just ask - and get a copy. It doesn't always work; sometimes you get ignored, or a polite refusal. But sometimes, you get a good response. And I really appreciate that as a hobbyist.

That said, most papers I like to find or obtain are older stuff (the older the better), which in many cases is difficult to impossible to find (I suppose with some travel and physical research I could get them, but that's outside my means and time). But sometimes, a scanned copy can be found, and in those rare cases where the researcher is still alive, I can sometimes get a copy by asking in that manner as well. Sometimes I have contact the last posted research organization (in those cases, I have been informed on occasion of their passing; but I'll usually get a link or something in return for the document).

In a way, it's a "squeaky wheel getting the grease" kind of move; I'm not obnoxious about it - if I don't get a response, I leave it at that. If I get a declined response, I reply with a thank you. Better not to burn any bridges, maybe later I can get a copy.
To me it seams like a part of the definition of a zero day exploit makes it impossible to stop.
