I've run Hyper-V in production with SCVMM. No thanks.

More seriously, it's not portable and not something I want to invest in any further brain-wise. Plus you can't drive half of it with vagrant. I burned about 4 days recently learning that.
Now watch as it never gets excavated. I've yet to see them break open the hidden door they found during some thermal scans recently. Isn't there also known void under the sphinx that was mapped with ground penetrating radar? They just seem to sit on these finds and do nothing.

Funny you're getting down-voted. This is quite literally a true statement.

Then the only point of contention is whether the benefit of this secure network existing and what it gives the world outweighs the cost of the resources consumed.

I believe it is, by a large amount.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I agree with the assessment that Heart of Darkness can't be a great work because of its flaws, but I think it answers some of the questions the author of this piece claims to be puzzled about.

GUIs might be easy to use (e.g: IIS manager), but when you have to manage 50 machines, programability is important and automation becomes more important.
I have products that need built for days. It all starts with science. You are in an incredible position that I never have been. Had to self fund everything myself and all ultimately failed due to lack of capital even with traction. Hold on to what you have. It’s the most valuable thing ever.
Oh yeah they exist. There are ceramic ones and I have also seen plastic ones.

I've seen other fun specialized types of screwdrivers in my career:

Screwdrivers with conductive plastic in the handle, to deal with ESD requirements in the spacecraft industry. Alternatively, take a normal plastic screwdriver handle and wrap it in copper tape.

Beryllium screwdrivers (non-ferrous) for use around MRI machine bores thanks to the insane magnetic fields. You also have to wear ceramic hard-toed shoes.
At some point, yes, but if the sound is audible outside your house or the light shines out the window then it didn't turn into heat where you wanted it to.

So not 100% of that sound or light will be an exception, but some of it might.
That does not strike me as a quality of remote work. That seems to me to be more a cultural issue with the team in question. I have seen plenty of teams have a “heads down” mode where they are effectively on Do Not Disturb despite being in the office.

Conversely, I’ve seen plenty of “mandatory meetings” in remote work as well. Neither paradigm seems particularly advantageous.

For comparison, PG&E E1 baseline for California is currently $0.19979/kWh. As in, 12x more. God help you if you wander from baseline.

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/tm2/pdf/ELEC_SCHEDS_E-1.pdf

Even using a time-of-use plan like E6 (which they don't allow any more), off-peak is $0.16728/kWh in the summer, and peak summer is $0.35933/kWh. The ETOU-A and ETOU-B plans they're pushing people toward bottom out at $0.17279/kWh winter off-peak, up to $0.36335/kWh. Again, all baseline figures. Electric Vehicles and over-baseline (read: mining) will punish you to death.

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/tm2/pdf/ELEC_SCHEDS_E-TOU.pdf

In those rate plans, PG&E apparently spends more on transmission alone than Siberian customers entirely pay for service. Also, good luck explaining the plan structure to someone; it took me 20 minutes of edits just to put this comment together coherently.
_The Hidden Persuaders_ (Vance Packard, 1959) https://amzn.com/dp/B006NV977W was recommended elsewhere today. This nearly-as-ancient classic is at least an order of magnitude less mentioned but provides more depth applicable online.

They reify UIs, but discoverability of functionality can be a real problem. Git, of course, is the classic example, because its "UI" is a hacked-together mess compiled over years and years and features were added piecemeal. But even for green-field CLI tools, it's a problem.

The real value of CLI tools is extensibility and scriptability. You don't have to rely on the application developer inserting UI hooks everywhere; you just write a shell script, and in the absolute worst-case scenario use Expect to automate interactive processes. And adding a new subcommand is relatively trivial. The code is typically easy to trace the user input down to the internal machinery. The UI is a very simple function dispatch and argument-passing mechanism. There are no widgets to worry about, no switches or boxes to position.

Therefore CLI tools will always be beloved by power users and feared by everyone else. If you know exactly what you're doing, they can really speed up your workflow and provide and interface for precise, expressive control and automation. Otherwise, all but the best-designed CLI tools are intimidating and difficult to master. Who can remember all those switches? Having a bunch of labeled buttons laid out in a UI leads to a much lower cognitive load.

IMO the real value is in CLI applications that can be embedded in a GUI, but are embedded transparently, in that the GUI can be scripted by simply scripting the underlying CLI. Git (Git GUI, GitHub, Tortoise, Tower, etc), Apt (Aptitude, others), TeX (Tex Live Manager, kinda), and others have good interfaces along these lines, but we're definitely in need of a good CLI interface for Rsync and Tar. Many CLI wrapper GUIs tend to be opaque and don't expose enough underlying functionality.

One standard for history-keeping is the following: If we start with a clean system, and replay all the commands from the history, will we end up with the same system?

This is how Lighttable, Photoshop, and other Adobe CS products work. Also the Vim "undo tree" to some extent. It's an excellent feature.

Maybe that's your opinion and the perceived opinion right now, but your claims directly contradict what many successful teachers state. (But see below, maybe we don't disagree.)

In Germany, for instance, there used to be these little "ETP books" for guitar players called Tägliche Übungen zur Entwicklung einer Technischen Perfektion that involved lengthy and absolutely monotonous finger exercises that really had nothing to do with music. Everybody praised them and everybody said that these and similar exercises are essential to become a world-class player. There is hardly any way around it, they said, you cannot become that good by merely playing music. I still have no reason to believe they were wrong. It would be surprising if arguably harder instruments like classical piano didn't involve similar monotonous exercises and the same couldn't be said about ballet, world-class athletes, etc. A friend of mine is a professional jazz saxophonist and while he was studying saxophone he had to practice scales up and down for hours and hours every day.

You've got to put some serious effort into it, you agree with that, right? So maybe we agree in the end, because you use vague word "engage". Of course, nobody denies that you need to find a way to motivate you to get through these exercises or to stay "engaged". I didn't deny that. All I'm saying is that a lot of "mere repetition" is needed in many disciplines in order to reach a really high level while staying motivated.
The GP's point is that it's an externality for the company, and therefore they have no incentive to reduce the cost of commuting.
Indeed. It was (is?) pretty well known, but I've not heard it mentioned for a long time. With all the fashionable modern RPC and serialisations around nowadays, perhaps the original Pyro is now obscure enough that the name can be reused? Ideally, though, it would be nice to know for sure that an existing project is considered obsolete before causing any confusion.

The choice of what constitutes "news" and how much prominence it should be given is inherently and unavoidably subjective.
This reminds me of a story; a buddy of mine during my college days lived in a solitary townhome adjoining a million-watt microwave emitter room. The thing produced enough waste heat to warm the apartment in the dead of winter, even with all the doors and windows open, plus the adjoining warehouse which was several times the volume of the dwelling.

I was envious at the time, although now I wonder about the health implications of the setup, and whether it was strictly speaking legal. The guy is alive and well today, fortunately.

When it's 100f+ I prefer to wear shorts and change when I arrive, but aside from that, my ~10min bike ride in great. (Austin TX)

Generally it's not bad in the morning, and it's going home that's worse, but at that point, it matters less if I get sweaty.

I used to bike 30-45 minutes each way to work, and, yeah, I got very sweaty. I always wished there were a shower I could use there. It's not ideal biking (or walking) weather, for sure.

One additional anecdote I'd like to share: my coworker just moved to be under a mile from the office. His first time biking to the office from his new place was under five minutes. The other day he had to drive home. He messages me afterwards: "Took me 31 minutes to drive 9 blocks". (5:30pm and raining.)

So I love my bike, even in the Texas summer. :-)
If a workplace needs bananas then they have to pay for shipping to get it into the office. Labor is the only workplace input that walks in the door for free.

I think a fairer deal would be if commute time counted against the typical 8 hours of work. That way everybody's interests would align around having short commute times.
> As I said, I'm not entirely convinced, but nor is it an absurd view.

It is an absurd view to think that people and/or companies are morally obligated to pay taxes above and beyond their legal obligations.

Paying taxes competes with a person's ability to provide for themselves and their family. To think that a person has an obligation to give extra money to strangers, beyond their legal obligation—which we as a society have collectively agreed upon—rather than keeping that money for themselves and their family is absurd. And, to anticipate where you may go with this: while Apple may be a hugely profitable company, those profits belong to the owners of the company, who are ultimately people who need to provide for themselves and their families.

If you use Symbolics Genera (or the Common Lisp Interface Manager, see for example McCLIM), the GUI interactions will seen as 'gestures' and not as clicks. For example there could be a Select gesture. These gestures then invoke commands. The commands created by mouse gestures will be recorded in the interactor history like a command which has been typed to the interactor. Pointer gestures are : select, describe, delete, menu, edit,

Thus one gets a history of commands, which also can be reused, even from mouse gestures. Selecting a command from a menu or direct manipulation usually will lead to a recorded commnand in the interactor. The interactor runs a command loop.

Reminds me of the early days of spam fighting. It looked so easy: just build a Bayesian model and boom! Spam begone!

Sadly, there's a drawback to open systems (like this one), that the robot controllers can keep probing for weaknesses and keep changing their style.

Of course, such extension also begs the question: how will they (the creators) make money? "Volume", you say?
Smart contracts have not exactly been successful as far as I can see. the biggest news in ETH was the fork to ETC and the reasons behind it. Combined with the limitless supply it means it will never be worth more than bitcoin.

I would roughly classify them based on use cases:

* If you are working on research such as optimization or other improvements on the algorithms of training neural networks, PyTorch is a better option as it is (in my experience) much more understandable and easily modified.

* If you are experimenting with network architectures and aren't going to be mucking around with the internals (e.g., developing a new optimization algorithm), Tensorflow is a better option.

Right. Except the ones that do. And even if you correctly predict that BTC is going to collapse... when? At $2000? At $5000? At $7100? Are you doing anything to bet on it by shorting it? Or are you just prognosticating and trying to timestamp a comment so in [x] months/years you might be able to link back to Hacker News and say: "A-ha! I knew it," ignoring all the other predictions you may or may not have made that didn't come true.

It's easy to say BTC is going to collapse. A lot harder to have some conviction behind it and act.
A debate that never grows old?

Against better judgment, I will bite.

The author makes a valid point. Consider command line history, and command line editing via vi or emacs bindings. I use sh like a REPL all day, every day. I make constant use of searching prior tasks with Ctrl-[ + / or fc -l. I also have hundreds of short, saved scripts.

I do not use a mouse or X11, no vim. I do not use a "clipboard", other than tmux buffers. Everything happens through editors/pagers like sed, vi and less. There is constant iteration. What is the GUI equivalent? Keyboard macros?

The ultimate aim is to make tasks non-interactive. To script away the interactive work. Automation. This is in direct opposition to the philosophy of the GUI: that work must be interactive, and to make interaction more pleasant.

But there are so many differences and similarities between CLI and GUI. What really separates them and makes me choose one over the other? If I can pick just one point of differentiation: Most times, CLI is more reliable. What does reliable mean here? It means robust. Less likely to fail.

Assume that for comparison we can have both GUI and CLI versions of the same applications. And that the GUI is more than just a "skin" over the CLI.

Show me a GUI application that is more reliable than the CLI version. I will take notice.

But to get me to switch away from CLI usage, one must show me many GUI applications, all more reliable than their CLI versions.

An entire system of fast, robust GUI applications, all more reliable than CLI alternatives.

This might be possible. But it is not available as of today AFAIK. And I have to go with what works. Today.

FWIW, I am an end user not a developer.

That's pretty reasonable, but let's get really serious--You can be more efficient than that. This winter I may buy a bicycle-electric generator, an inverter, and use it to power my laptop to mine bitcoins. This heating beats a mere 98% gas heater by capturing generated heat most efficiently: Directly inside my body. The remaining kinetic and electric energy heats my house. And since I need to lose weight anyways, the cost of electricity is less than zero. Infinite efficiency!

I can't wait to get rich and be warm this winter.

Consider that as of 1800 or so, perhaps 5-10% of the population were literate. That climbed to 90%+ throughout much of Western Europe and the US by 1900, but the level of education was still low: in the US, a high school diploma was an accomplishment only 6% of the population realised in 1900. That climbed to about 90% by 1950 or so. By contrast, more people have graduate degrees today.

Though the content and quality expressed by education ... has shifted. On the one hand, there's clearly been advances in knowledge and education, but at the same time, those are being presented to a much, much larger share of the population.

I've seen people (children, students, professionals) with widely varying levels of literacy and cognitive skills, ranging from frighteningly high to almost none at all. I think this may be underappreciated.

Or, TL;DR: yes, a lot of people are terrible at reading.

WTH it's hilarious that the once-harmless-banal-mild-infantilism of odd underdog side projects and garage up-starts has now infested every executive's/investor's mind such that they feel apparent competetive pressure to ensure a quip like the above will be "obligatorily" present. The only reason this sort of stuff was at first inspiring, "human touch", or exhilarating was because it contrasted so starkly with mainstream biz heuristics. No longer, so might as well all drop the pretend bouncy-castle-playground-mentality right now.
I've never understood this. If you have a real or de-facto monopoly, why would you jeopardize it by providing poor service/overpricing your product? That just draws attention to the situation. Keep things reasonable and it's a lot harder for people to make noise because the majority will be fine with the way things are.
Yeah anytime someone says GUIs are “easier” my question is always “for what?”. Not because a CLI is always (or even usually, depending on how you slice it) superior, but because a GUI makes some things better and some things a lot worse. So many use cases are not “easier”, they’re harder.
Not to Godwin the thread, but where does a company need to draw the line? On the extreme end of the spectrum, I would assume that no company would want someone with Nazi-supporting political beliefs on their staff, and that most people would find it acceptable to fire a Nazi. That means there's some point on the line at which, on one side it's acceptable to fire someone for their political beliefs, and on the other side, it's not. So, where along the line from socialist, to liberal, to conservative, to Trump-supporter, to Nazi should that point be established? Who decides?

TL/DR: I have to boil this down to a gut feel, but I'd rather fly a known takeoff/landing profile at any airport, than take a n-thousand ton vessel through a port departure/arrival, simply because the overall situation in the air is so much simpler.

Entering/leaving any decent sized port that handles larger vessels is a much more intense collision avoidance situation than any airspace management situation I can imagine.

Reducing the reaction space from three to two dimensions and extending the reaction time from control input -> output by a factor of 100 to 1000 is part of it.

The other complication is having a magnitude or more of different classes of "threats", from unexpected solid objects ( chart errors or new items unreported), other vessels both larger and smaller with faster or slower response times of their own, errors in SA... eyes and professional judgment help immensely. Thus the focus on keeping the OOD watching the whole SA.

My sub had at least a dozen people involved in building the "picture" around the boat, visual, sonar, radar... plus two or three of us collating that into displays and reports the OOD could see immediately.
