I couldn't really figure this out from the article: What's the link between antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and manure run-off/sewage? It's obvious that there'd be more bacteria, but what's the deal specifically with them being antibiotic-resistant?
His response seems like hyperbole to me.
If there's more than 20 points between critic score and viewer score (in the viewers favor) on Rotten tomatoes, then the movie is usually good. There are exceptions to the rule, and recent inclusions in the culture wars (Justice League, Ghostbusters) can break this, but generally it's a good rule of thumb to follow. Reviewer scores come from people forced to watch hundreds of films, and as a consequence they reward poor quality idosyncrocy over good quality but predictable tropes. People crave variety, and when you review movies for a living, you lose touch of what variety is for normal people.
It has been quoted by Google developers on why Nexus 5 fell off the support track so early, around the same time Nexus 4 did: it took a herculean effort to get the binary drivers to even remotely work right on Android 6 due to being unable to drag in newer kernels.

This is partially why Treble is being worked on, to just completely disconnect the actual Linux-based HAL from "the OS", thus trying to negate a lot of the oblate stupidity from vendors like Qualcomm and have a shim in-between your actual phone, and Android itself, in hopes to fix stuff.

We seriously need more phone SoC vendors.

How Artificial Intelligence Will Change Cities
From the article: 'local residents reported temperatures as low as minus-88 degrees Fahrenheit' I hardly think so, as people from the USA are the only ones using Fahrenheit in the world.
I am not autistic. I have spent a lot of time around the American military and I tend to be direct.

Anytime someone suggests that my directness means I must be autistic, they are a) making a faux polite personal attack that calls me a social retard and b) looking for an excuse to ignore and dismiss the substance of my points. I don't consider it to be a good faith form of engagement.
I like it. I personally don't have an affinity with the colours. Red for amazing? Red, to my mind is danger, and I would naturally associate that with bad things. I think green for an amazing day.

Also I'd find it easier to read if it were rotated 180 degrees and the months were stacked horizontally.

I think you're misreading my comment. The original post was "we need this brashness", my point is, we don't.

If a specific individual is unable to communicate without that, that's a totally different matter - being able to accommodate a wide church of people is a crucial diversity matter.

Would it have been clearer if I had said "All someone in a project leadership position needs to say ..." ? I'm arguing against that the notion that this approach is necessary, not that it shouldn't be accommodated.
Google Docs is surprisingly good for some of this kind of deliberation. (We used it at Google.)

Especially when you use the 'suggesting' feature. It's a bit like a mini-PR for your docs.

Google Wave was supposed to be really good for this---better than email.
I don't disagree that technically that Google is better at this kind of stuff than Apple, but "millions" of devices is vague. Google doesn't release numbers. How many has it sold?

Everything he says is technically possible, but how many people are both technical enough to set this stuff up and care enough to even bother? I know people who have smart speakers, but most of them just use them for music.

It does make me worry about the day that Linus retires. I imagine the kernel has enough momentum to carry on for a while but without a leader like Linus I can see it very slowly starting to unravel and quality issues starting to sneak in, much like we're seeing with post-Jobs Apple.

Thankfully it doesn't seem that time is coming any time soon.
People are quick to downvote calling such things BS, because it sounds just nice and well-intentioned when presented like that. The problem is that such "rules" can be and are used to harass and shame people who are focused on the code and just want to get things done, without either sugarcoating their thoughts or being intentional assholes about it. It also just plain ignores people who actually prefer getting plain, straight to-the-point reviews, and makes their preferences less valid.

In an ideal case, the reviewer "should" perhaps consult with the reviewee's therapist and craft the reviews to most benefit the reviewee based on their emotional state - but we don't have an ideal world of infinite resources, and some of these rules go beyond a reasonable "don't be an asshole" line and make code review into an even more mentally taxing task: one where you can't treat the other person as an adult peer, instead having to talk to them as if they were insecure teenagers who could misinterpret anything as rudeness or attacks on them.

To me you'd get a better response from Linus if your patch wasn't some corporate garbage with ulterior motives. If the person who posted the patch had actually offered a solution that wasn't a pile of crap then there could be a dialog regarding ways to improve.

> There are no adverse health effects from taking pure glucose.

Most people shouldn't be taking glucose. People should get their energy from food so that they get the nutrients and fibre with it. For most people taking glucose means either you'll get too much energy (and get fat) or not enough nutrients from real food.

On top of that it causes a strong insulin response which will decrease insulin sensitivity.
Wait what? Every time I've ever shopped in the UK, it's taken on the order of a minute or two. Are US stores really that inefficient?
David Woodhouse works for Amazon. He previously worked for Intel.

It is a series of patches from engineers at both Intel and Amazon. Linus was replying to an in progress discussion where people that are working on the patches are discussing things.

There's some disagreement between the people working on the patch series (which is what Linus jumped into), but Linus also seems to be misunderstanding some fundamental things about the nature of the patches to begin with. (Reading the rest of the thread is more informative, but less entertaining, than just the bit with Linus yelling about things)

Very few people I know actually use facebook and even WhatsApp adoption is pretty low and inconsistent.

If very people you know use Facebook and Facebook has over 210 million users in the United States (https://www.statista.com/statistics/398136/us-facebook-user-...) isn't that the definition of "anecdote is not data"?

If you look at the daily usage numbers of Facebook and Instagram, the data doesn't support your conclusion.

If Apple one day said they weren't going to allow Facebook on their phone, who do you think it would hurt more - Facebook or Apple (ignoring the fact that the FB experience is a lot better in the browser.)
LWN is a class act. Most subscription services make you jump through hoops to cancel your subscription. Not LWN though. It is the only media subscription that I've seen that doesn't automatically renew when your payment term is up.

This makes me feel like LWN really respects their customers.
Fintech insights with Jim Marous
I'm a business analyst and work with both private sector and government clients. From about a decade of analyzing how each type operates, I can tell you that the amount of bullshit that goes on in them is about the same level.
While I'm not arguing with you, I have had a different experience working with developers and microservices, perhaps because the teams have been more seasoned/experienced and there is more of a collaborative environment.

I found that a lot of the time developers start moving towards microservices when they find that a monolithic app becomes too difficult to work on. For example, multiple teams working on the same codebase will often have accidental code conflicts. Plus, scaling a monolithic app because one part of it is under load isn't always cost effective or logical. So, teams will start to break off components into microservices to make development easier and less painful. Naturally this has to be weighed up as microservices bring a different set of challenges, 'gotchas', etc, etc but in my experience the teams have done a proper job discussing the pros and cons.
Here's my experience. Some features are extremely good as Microservices. And I wanted to use it. But I don't. Why?

1. Setting up a "Microservices" architecture itself is a convoluted process. If you're not a Netflix or Amazon that will run hundreds of microservices, the up-front cost and time is NOT at all worth it. I would rather just run an app on Digitalocean.

2. IF I decided to bypass step 1 and just use existing vendors like AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc., first I don't feel good about it because I know it's in each vendor's best interest to implement lockin, which conflicts with my own interest.

3. Lastly, none of the existing cloud function vendors have good user experience. AWS Lambda, Google cloud functions, etc. all require you to go through all the authentication related stuff before running a simple function, not to mention all the constraints that come with "function based paradigm". Again, definitely not worth it unless you're trying to run hundreds of these functions.

I think part 3 is critical, because I was willing to ignore part 1 and 2, as long as I could get my function up and running really easily. But none of the vendors make it easy. Sure, there are frameworks that let you do that like Apex and Serverless, but those also require setup. I would rather just run a DigitalOcean server for $5 which by the way can run multiple of those services as a regular server, without me having to spend time dealing with the complexities of function servers.

I thought about how this could be improved. Sure there can be some "Heroku for functions" SaaS, but nobody is excited about building SaaS startups nowadays because they know they can't compete with large vendors in the very long run. (Unless you're comfortable with just building a lifestyle business, which is totally fine, but I personally won't rely on a lifestyle business SaaS)

The only way this can be improved is if each root vendors like Amazon, MS, and Google actually implemented better UI, but none of them are really focused on this since the reason they're doing this business in the first place is not for consumers but to make sure they have leverage in this space. (If AWS dominated 90%+ of this market, the rest of the companies will be in a great risk in the long run)
Nobody called you autistic or a social retard. It is a spectrum as well, some people with autism are far more socially retarded than others. If you want though, you can call me autistic. I take no offence at that, not in the last place because I have a ASD diagnosis.

What I said, is that I find autism another [plausible] explanation. Because being honest/direct/blunt is a trait people with ASD suffer from (since they have less of the social awareness which puts the brake on the sharp edges). I find it more plausible than country_of_origin (TBH I find that a -perhaps harmless- form of discrimination/racism), but certainly I did neither imply nor argue that it is the only, sole explanation!
Not to be a jerk, but can you provide any links to large sites or apps that use Ember? Again,this is a serious question, as I like to keep tabs on trends for JS stuff like this.
Part of the problem is Linus doesn't actually understand the different portions of what Intel is doing, and is mixing up IBPB and IBRS. They do different things, and he's thinking they're all part of the same thing.

This could be a sign that these things are poorly written and need to be refactored into something more obvious, or it could be that they're so fundamentally complex that it's going to be difficult to grasp without context.
New Zealand's anti-nuclear stance has nothing to do with nuclear power. The reason we don't allow American warships into our waters is because we disapprove of nuclear weapons, whether powered by or as a payload.

The study shows that the gender bias at the point of tenure approval is the opposite of what is claimed by some interest groups. That doesn't prove that gender bias isn't a factor in the number of women in STEM fields.

Some fields are majority male, and some fields are majority female. There are two possible causes: that women and men have, on average, different preferences, or that there is a bias problem earlier in the process than the point at which tenure is considered.

There is evidence that men and women do have different preferences and so we'd expect to see a gender imbalance in some fields. But we should still try to ensure that anyone with the ability and the inclination is able to enter the career path of their choice — that means schools, families, and the media not discouraging girls and boys from entering "non-typical" fields, something these studies don't address.

They do, however, show that the way many ideologically motivated individuals go about achieving their aim of gender balance is based on misconceptions about the world and is therefore likely to be counter-productive.

I am not too sure I would agree with this statement from the abstract: "These results suggest it is a propitious time for women launching careers in academic science.” It might be less worse to be a woman, but in the same way it is better to lose a leg below the knee than above the knee.
Probably something to do with the fact that cattle are given loads of antibiotics, and are therefore more likely to host resistant bacteria.
How am I running Oreo on my Nexus 5 with lineage os?
Antibiotics are heavily abused to help the survival of farm animals that are kept in really bad conditions. One horror story from big farms around here where I live is that in summer they spray cows with water to cool them in overcrowded boxes that they're kept in. But problem is that those cows are then left all wet and will often catch a cold and develop a pneumonia if untreated, so farmers give them antibiotics regularly to prevent this. I know this for cattle farms first-hand, but I've heard that pig farms are even worse offenders.
Exercise in conditions that involved inhalation of hypertonic saline during a period of increased tidal respiration, in a setting that reduces the amount of sweating typically experienced during exercise.

It’s not baffling.
Question is, is it constructive? Does ranting really yield better results than just stating the facts (both short term for fixing the problem and long term for working together)?

It might work for Linus on the LKML, but it certainly doesn't for everyone and in all circumstances.

"fishing industry" doesn't mean much, all job related deaths are recorded by the HSE in the UK (this is equivalent to OSHA in the US), which is why I asked for the actual statistics.
>> I would normally define 'correctness' to include rigorous mathematical proofs.

You mean, like SPARK?

> On the proof side, Rust's built in unit testing is great, and allows for quick validation of code (proofs).

No, unit testing is not proof of correctness, it's a hint that your code has
no regressions at best. I'd take a proof over unit tests any time of day.

Also, cherry picking a quote and putting it in submission title is against HN guidelines.
In reallity its not your problem if the company is not able to extract value from your work. Your work has a price they have to pay it weather they extract value or not. What if a terrible farmer buys a lamborghini tractor covered in gold then tells the person making it that the tractor only produced 10 dollars so he is going to pay for it 3 dollars. Some other farmer might get a lot more production from the same machine. Or what if i hire a team of nasa experts to build the most advanced and revolutionary nut cracking device then realize i just wasted a lot of money for nothing? Can i tell the experts sorry but nut cracking does not produce the value to justify the cost of the machine so you will not get paid. Its complete nonsense.
WASM vs. JS – Realtime pitch detection
megafilms like "The Last Jedi" (currently at 90% on rotten tomatoes contrasted against 49% for viewers)

Be careful, The Last Jedi is definitely part of the "culture wars" effect somebody mentioned elsewhere. I don't think it's a very useful example for the effect this article is talking about (although it's very useful if you're interested in the culture wars).

If you actually read the Rotten Tomatoes reviews, many of the "viewers" are people complaining about gender representation. It's not a representative sample, it's just been flooded by "men's rights" activists.

Personally, I think the 90% is too high (I didn't like it very much) but the 49% is way low (most people I know liked it just fine, no quibbling).
> Do you legit think that people are all just doing this as a fad?

Yes. That's been my experience.

> The idea that the existing code base could have problems shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Amazon almost fell over because of their code base. Twitter too.

Most organisations aren't Amazon. Most organisations aren't Twitter. And even these web-scale organisations aren't as all-in as the microservice advocates. (I worked at last.fm for a time and while we did many things that could be classed as "microservices" from a certain perspective, we didn't blindly "microservice all the things")

> "Microservices as mass delusion" discounts a lot of people who are really thinking hard about how to handle the pros and the cons of things.

Most fads start from a core of sensible design. The web really did revolutionise commerce, but many "x, but on the web" companies of the late '90s really were dumb.
How to Test the Effectiveness of Direct Buy Ads Before Signing 6-Figure Contract
I can only see three to five tab titles at a time per pane given the screen width and long class names, and I'm generally navigating across 10+ files at a time (jumping to definition and uses, usually). This means the right tabs are never available for me to click on, so I just ignore the tab bar altogether for selection purposes. And since I never close them, the open set expands to my working set including reference code.

I can't hide the tab bar because I need it to control which pane a file is showing in. E.g. I want test and implementation visible at the same time; this usually requires that I drag one or the other tab to the other pane, because IntelliJ brings tabs to the front of whatever pane they're already living in, rather than moving them to the currently focused pane.

I do my commits from magit in emacs. I generally don't commit at all until I've done something somewhat significant, but I'll break it down into commits on a diff hunk by hunk basis, which magit makes easy. I don't use the IntelliJ SCC tooling.
> If your boundaries are actually not well defined, then what happens is that even though theoretically services can be deployed in isolation, you find that due to the inter-dependencies between services, you have to deploy sets of services as a group.

This is the part I keep getting hung up on. Even with perfect boundaries, there always seems to be a cross-cutting feature that would require touching all of the services.
Ok, I'm curious. What rocket engine power cycle was invented between the Full Flow Staged Combustion Cycle (1962) and the Electric Pump-Fed Cycle (2010)?
Save time with parametrization of test cases – QARA Test Feature
If you read the comments you’ll see that there’s no evidence of Yacob’s existence prior to the 1800s and Italian scholars came to the conclusion in the early 20th century the whole thing was a forgery. It might be real but it would be unwise to base any serious efforts on this without at the least carbon dating of an original manuscript.

My experience is a careful amateur painter is 1000% better than an average professional. Professionals are certainly a lot faster, but if you look carefully at their work it is in the main very shoddy.

If you want a good result don’t skimp on the tools. Buy good quality brushes, rollers, filler, throws and paint. Also buy an edger to cut in the walls and ceilings. One final tip buy some of the disposable plastic liners for the roller tray so you don’t have to spend time washing out the tray at the end of the day.
I actually think fragmentation is ideal, it demonstrates the failures in a system more cleanly. For example, I started with Protoype.js many years ago, after a bunch of research at the time. But then later switched to jQuery, because it was simply better in every way.

There simply was no fixing the problems with Prototype.js, they were inherent in the system.

I think when a fragmentation occurs in every framework, its for the same reason. Consider Angular 1 to Angular 2, they broke backwards compatibility because they had too. Angular 2 could have been called something else, and it would be viewed as "fragmentation" not an "upgrade", but in effect, it was fragmentation.

This is the exact reason why I think all of these frameworks will ultimatly end up in the dustbin of history. Does any major programming language in the last 30 years use a framework that requires multiple build systems, multiple "dialects" of differing syntax just to do what is inherently available already? (but just faster and easier?)

This sounds like the end result is Webassembly, not the "perfect framework".
You don't need microservices to fix that, you need CI and maybe some release processes for your libraries.

There will come a point where you can't scale a monolith, sure, but that point is thousands rather than hundreds of engineers.
