No one so far has mentioned the interesting idea that he was trying to disappear himself. Check into who picked him up and why they were there, plus the dude's financial situation, has all of the money recently disappeared?

His girlfriend disappears in a normal manner, well, normal for a disappearance, he disappears in outlandish style in a sub sinking, he was going to swim to a pre-prepped dinghy or some quiet boat anchored nearby and disappear from history (perhaps with a pile of money?) but whoopsie a passing boater not part of the plan at all, coincidentally saw him and "helped" him out by declaring an emergency and fishing him out... So much for that tragic disappearance and drowning and missing body.

Now she's disappeared successfully on some tropical island retired wondering when he's gonna get there, or wondering if she should keep all the money (assuming any has disappeared at all, of course) or if she should come forward.

The whole thing sounding like a hollywood movie plot means my speculation sounding like a movie plot isn't necessarily disqualifying.

Its also worth pointing out that this is a "submarine story" only in the sense that the Reiser murder trial was about linux filesystem development.
Not to disagree, but you can barely perform random access on a utf8 string. You need to explode it out to utf16 or utf32 which isn't what most languages have built in. Rust and go largely work with utf8 while c and c++ love them byte arrays (not sure I've even seen std::wstring in the wild)
Superficially it is not that hard. If you can spin up another server, you can run Elasticsearch and stuff it with content through a JSON API, do searches through that API, etc.

To get a search engine that satisfies people, however, takes more work, particularly work that is hard to productize. For instance, if you crawl a web site you can run into "web traps" that generate an infinite number of pages, you need to remove the stuff on the top, sides and bottom of the pages.

People also have expectations for search based on Google and that is a whole ball of wax. Searching the whole web, in some sense, might be an easier problem than searching an individual web site; it becomes much more a problem of winnowing out the junk rather than trying to save a handful of relevant results from being lost. (Actually Google site search is not that good)

The mainstream of work in relevance has been around problems similar to patent search, where it is important that result #5000 be (relatively) good. Google is focused on result #1 being good, as in many search applications people won't scroll past the first page.

Often people deploy search solutions decide that they "suck" and give up. If you want search which is useful, never mind "world class", you need a lot of customization done by people who know dark arts.
How did they get your email and your name?
I guess this service somehow hopes that you can separate the interaction design from the visual design... except the interaction design is the expensive part (to the tune of a 2x more than 70k/y).

So I guess in this workflow the PM is also the interaction designer and implementation with an engineer, while you pay for these UI decorators on top.

Might work for some small website updates, but anything more substatial would probably be not worth it.

> Well, but even than.. you will need to start focusing on a multi-threaded-compositor.. to render the chrome, visual dom nodes, images, video images, animations, etc..

Why?

If you simply don't implement video/audio/scripting, nor multi-threaded anything, you can still render a large percentage of pages on Tor hidden services. That's because the sites built to work with a privacy overlay are already themselves extremely limited in complexity. And the ones that aren't frankly aren't safe to view anyway, at least not without NoScript turned on (in which case you're essentially back to HTML 4.01).

Such a browser actually has a chance of working with a lower risk of exploits than the currently available browsers. (With the downside that an "off-brand" browser stands out in the crowd wrt fingerprinting, but that's true no matter what you implement.)

But if the goal is to render not just hidden service content, but arbitrary content including normal web pages fetched through a Tor exit node, a project like this written in a language like C++ will only ever be riskier and easier to exploit than current browsers. All you could ever ethically claim to potential users is that it's not Firefox nor Chrome (and even then that's certainly no reason to prefer it in a privacy overlay).

I have a similar experiance. German is my mother tongue, but I learned English from an early age at bilingual primary school. I «think» in both as well, but depending on the situation it might also be just one or the other. I have started to observe when I think in one over the other and found it comes down to subject matter. American politics is english only as almost all media I consume on the subject is english. Law (my field of study) is German, since I am studing in German. For other things it seems more random.

Similarly I find that when writing (just for myself and can thus choose the language) I tend to use English very differently and in different situations from German. I also sometimes choose one for stylistic reasons. A manifesto for instance sounds a lot better in German (not that I have writen a manifesto). I also found that for many words the literal translation doesn't always capture the same nuances.

English seems like the more "frivolous" language to german. Maybe thats because german is my second language, but I doubt it. Big words don't seem as big when spoken in English as compared to German.

On my fathers side of the family there are a number of en/de bilingual speakers, so we also speak a wild mix of the two picking and choosing what fits best (or just popped into my head first).

This experiance has made me very interested in learning French as well. I speak it a bit at it's mandatory to learn french in school here, but I am still far from being at the stage where I don't have to mentally translate everything in my head and just think in the language. I am moving to the french speaking part of the country soon for that reason (among others).
Yeah, I don't understand why they feel the need to ignore whole terms.

> 2. Feature request: export diagrams to tikz code.

While I don't disagree with your argument per se (not sure if I quite agree either, though), note that avoiding a decentralised platform because of being "worried about the consequences" is not necessarily the same thing as worrying that "the content (..) is content they don't find too offensive".

The first includes both legal and moral considerations, the second only moral ones.

My consideration of whether to share, part of the time, some slice of my home Internet connection bandwidth as a Tor exit node is almost entirely a legal one (I admit that time/effort may play a role too). I'd consider the moral aspect too, but I wouldn't have to think long to decide that (for me personally) the trade-offs are worth it (I could explain why and how, but I don't want to derail the discussion in that direction).

In fact I'd argue this goes for anyone, in some sense. Even if their underlying reasons align with the legal considerations (and thus not run one), it's a moral judgement. (in the worst case, there exist people who equate moral judgement with legality)
The article is far too long winded for my taste.
Does Google Container Engine (GKE) Still Lead to Lock-In?
The GKE documentation says: "There’s no vendor lock-in, you’re free to take your workloads out of Container Engine and run them anywhere Kubernetes is supported, including on your own on-premise servers."

Still, GKE is a managed environment for Kubernetes and I was wondering how difficult it would be to take your workloads out of GKE after 2-3 years and run them on your own hardware.

That's not remotely close to being the same thing. There isn't a grey area when it comes to fraud (if there is enough evidence), whereas there is plenty of grey area when it comes to making arrests in the field, which may involve some amount of human error and judgement and therefore has leeway.

A user story is not a complete spec.

The requirement you wrote makes it easy to accept it as a complete spec (just implement this!), when it isn't.

The user story you wrote prompts more questions -- what's the dialog look like? Do we display the whole version number? Does the dialog contain anything else? How does the user close the dialog? Where does the user interact to open the dialog?

> Isn't your wife supposed to be your best/closest friend?

No, although that's a common misconception; it can turn out that way, but rarely does, and there's nothing of necessity wrong with a relationship in which it does not.

Just to provide a counter anecdote. My wife is very definitely my best and closest friend.
okay, but in this case the original got ~600 points, which surely counts as "the traction it deserves"
>Since some comments made the comparison to psychological factors, CFS is not an imbalance of neuro-transmitters in the brain, which it is the case for all psychological illnesses.

My own CFS certainly did have an imbalance in neurotransmitters when it was severe, and other severe patients also seem to have this (e.g. Whitney Dafoe talks about feelings of what sounds like anxiety and depression when he has his CFS attacks). I can't think of what else could cause this other than an imbalance in neurotransmitters (or something similar).

I think the problem is just the general misunderstanding (both from patients and doctors) about how the brain actually reacts to chronic stress. Even if you love what you're doing, if you push yourself too hard your body will eventually break. An example:

https://cfsunravelled.com/bedbound-with-mecfs-fibromyalgia-o...

Another example is overtraining: if you push your body too hard physically (e.g. by running marathons every day), you can end up with a CFS-like illness with depression, extreme fatigue, immune dysfunction, etc.:

https://www.outsideonline.com/1986361/running-empty

The brain doesn't have a neat distinction between physical and psychological like we do. There seems to be a part of the brain which integrates physical and psychological stresses, which then causes depression and fatigue if it appears that the long-term stress is not beneficial:

I've had CFS for over 25 years. We should not use the lack of cure as an excuse to not make progress. With any disease, it needs to be worked on from two angles, both physical and spiritual. The physical aspect is just a reflection of a deeper soul condition. We all have something called a karmic double or shadow--a psychic aspect of ourselves where we store negative energy. This whole picture goes beyond this one limited life. Most of you have probably noticed that at various times you feel sad or angry, even hateful. These are the energies we need to cleanse from our energy fields. They are downloaded on us the deeper you get into the illness. With chronic illness, we're often dealing with deep-rooted fear and that is why it takes so long to heal. It is very important to develop a spiritual life as a sick person, but I'm not implying that we should all go to church. Meditation can be very helpful yet towards the end of the illness, you won't be able to meditate very easily as you'll be blocked from your higher energies. If negative feelings come up, be with them and allow them to work through you instead of stuffing them down. Leave yourself time for this. Keep yourself in a positive space as much as possible. Some people are getting help from figures like Matt Kahn on YouTube who's enlightened and can teach people how to love in a world filled with judgment,etc. You will reach a point where you notice definite changes in your psychic state--more joy, peace and love. You'll become much stronger for having gone through this process. It does have a purpose.

As for the physical aspect, many theories exists. Sometimes they agree with our experience, and sometimes not. I've always felt that what I'm experiencing is a potent toxin and a toxicologist in Hawaii has found that we do have a toxin in us similar to the ciguatera fish toxin that takes 20 years to get over. I use Edgar Cayce castor oil packs (abdomen) on a regular basis to cleanse the liver of these poisons. (They get worse as time goes on). Eat a good diet (always the first step in any healing regimen), consisting of whole grains, juices, lots of produce and lighter meats and dairy with as much organic ingredients as possible. Use herbs and natural substances to help with sleep--valerian,hops, etc. plus melatonin and suntheanine. Listen to your body when it comes to exercise. Find substances that support your immunity and break down the situation in your body. I've had luck with Wipe Out from Holographic Health, Immunocal by Immunotec, ProBoost thymus extract for T-cells, Colostrum for boosting B-cells, Neem leaf and milk thistle (liver and detox support). If you can work around the bouncing blood sugar, try a fast occasionally with a colonic or Edgar Cayce type enema. Fast on watermelon, lemon juice, citrus or apples in the fall that will scrape you out (crunchy, like delicious) You can also use flower remedies for mood--good ones at Perelandra.

Use vitamins and minerals as support with a focus on anti-free radicals.

Good luck and love to all of you!
Slavery, which is to turn people into personal property, is an abomination. Even the ancients described slavery as "unnatural". In certain situations, however, it might be preferable. You don't deliberately leave your bike out in the rain. But you would if your bike was responsible for keeping itself out of the rain.
It's a good idea, in principle; I've seen people who stayed too long in rest-and-vest environments become completely unable to function when the gravy train ended.

The key questions you should be asking yourself is whether you're ready to withstand the stress of being "the dumbest guy in the room" (it's hard on the ego, to say the least), whether you're willing to make the commitment to learn an enormous amount of material in a relatively small amount of time, and whether you can come up to speed with the people in your new environment fast enough to avoid being penalized or even potentially laid off (having a financial cushion or some other backup plan in case things don't work out would probably be a good idea).

Chinese also is a great language for puns. I was in Taipei a few weeks ago and saw a restaurant named 糖朝 (tangchao, Sugar Dynasty), when most people would expect to see 唐朝 (tangchao, Tang Dynasty).

In addition, many cultural sayings are based off "puns." For example, 年年有餘 (nian nian you yu, year after year there will be a surplus) is a common saying during the Chinese New Year. However, many families eat fish (魚, yu, fish) during the Chinese New Year because it sounds like surplus. And so, 年年有餘 is sometimes rendered 年年有魚 (nian nian you yu, year after year there will be fish).

Ugh, Coursera has gone way downhill.
Number of developer hours should be nearly nothing. A couple per week.

Done properly, these things should keep you from getting halfway into implementing something, having a question nobody thought of, and getting stuck. Then stashing your work and moving on to something else while the original feature lingers half-done or dies altogether, either way the timeline got blown.

This is only possible (the time savings I mean) if you have a PM or product owner -- making devs do that work is madness.
I have been using zealdocs for a couple months now. Which is basically offline official docs/tutorials/examples my Google and SO usage has dropped quite a bit. If you read the Stackoverflow post on why they discontinued their documentation feature - one of the reasons was official docs aren't as broken as ppl think.

I'd posit that ethical reasons may be the best reasons to do anything at all.

Of course, the debate on how unethical using non-free software is has been going on for decades and both sides have reasonable arguments. Also, we're all people and hypocrites by definition. I do stuff that's against my fundamental morals every day (eg go to the cinema instead of save a life with the same money). Similarly I think I agree with the Stallmans of this world but I use Windows anyway.

But still, "let's not let ethics get in the way of making choices" isn't the best argument I've ever read on HN :-)

Rest assured, all existing TBM's are already operated by electric motors.

And they need an amount of power that very doubtfully can be delivered by batteries.

It is a bit of time that I don't deal with those smallish diameter TBM's, of 14 feet or so but to give you a comparison, a 22 feet one has usually a head (just the head) driven by some 6 x 300 or 350 kW electric motors.

In the FAQ of the boring company:

https://www.boringcompany.com/faq/

they mention diesel locomotives, but personally I have only seen electric (battery) locomotives used during TBM excavations.

And the plan is to make their TBM's speedier by augmenting the power (to the head), besides optimizing cycles and what not, thus most probably the TBM itself will be powered "traditionally" by cable electricity.
Amazed by the little difference between the following two Ryzens and their scores:

- Ryzen 5 1600x - Passmark: 13130; single: 1942

- Ryzen 7 1700 - Passmark: 13819; single: 1760

Why would you go for octa-core which is only marginally faster in multi-core workloads, but considerably slower in single-threaded workloads. On top of that, it's 25% more expensive.
The word "presumably" is probably the point where our interpretations diverge. I don't trust Google's black box AI to be both intentionally and effectively trained in a neutral manner. Further, I don't even think neutrality can exist within subjective filtering as the concept of neutrality itself is perceptually relative.
