Also, keeping away from unnecessary (and potentially distracting) communication, trusting colleagues, and maintaining clear separation of responsibilities. That's the sort of thing that needs to be drilled into people, and that aviation does a good job with.

This is an epic announcement and it further extends the JVM as the best VM to develop new languages for and port existing ones to. I'm curious though, is there a Truffle version of the Java language that the Graal JIT uses?
I'm extremely surprised that they didn't offer some sort of API to it. I just spent the past 10 minutes looking to be sure, but that seems very unlike Google.
I found the conversation between Paul Stamets and Joe Rogan to be super interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPqWstVnRjQ . Never really thought much about mushrooms until that episode.

Ask HN: Burned out techies' search for meaning. What are the options?
I am a burned out, 36yo, single, software engineer based in Silicon Valley. I am tired of building products that create no real value. Products that make people waste time, products that just help companies show more ads and generate more revenue. I don't mean to completely give up tech I just want to apply my skills to build something that have a meaning. The only thing that comes to mind is something that directly reduces human suffering.

Sorry, I realize it's rather vague and poorly described, but I'm just writing in the hope that someone can send some random link or point at a direction that can eventually lead to an idea. Maybe non-profits that need to solve non-trivial tech problems? Even for-profits that are trying to solve meaningful problems?
I believe they licensed the mycelium technology from a NY based startup called Ecovative, that has been shopping it around for furniture for some time.
Sure, the video is obviously fake. But it's also good enough that it's not "obvious" to anyone who doesn't remember Obama's exact face and voice, and it's good enough that it gives plausibility to anyone calling a real video with slightly distorted audio or video a fake!
> I'm a film buff and I think so. A lot of people don't seem to go out of their way to obtain films aside from looking at Netflix recommendations.

I suspect that's not Netflix's recommendations, but just having it added to Netflix. Anything new tends to get a lot of views, as people actively go through the "New" category.
Doctors aren't liable for failing to predict the future or making imperfect diagnosis.

If a doctor reviews the available data, reasonably concludes that it shouldn't be pursued further, and it later does turn out to be cancer, then that by itself does not mean that the doctor is liable for anything. Malpractice requires actual culpable negligence, such as missing something obvious, not interpreting a questionable situation in a manner that turns out to be wrong. The existence of a second, contrary opinion doesn't change that.
I’m not an engineer, but the best ones I’ve worked with have stated that autoscaling ain’t easy to architect right.
I just happen to own a helmet, but since these are basically marketed to random people who otherwise don't already have a bike, to be able to grab and go, it's unreasonable to expect people to already have a helmet prepared (unless they start frequently using these things).

The companies really should provide helmets in some way, or we get rid of the cars on the streets.
They claim that there was a number of other people at the starbucks who also didn't order anything and weren't arrested.
store them with ease at the side of the street; perhaps paying a fee while they use the land

Then it's no longer a sharing model; it's a "I want 24/7 control of a bike but only pay for while I'm riding it and park it anywhere without consequences" model.

Which would be handy, but it wouldn't scale well from a business standpoint.
I interpret "bugfix release" as criticism. However, isn't the success of C (especially nowadays) the simplicity and the universal availablity?

When you're Starbucks, have marketed yourself for years as a "third place" where people can hang out, and have a policy to not kick out people who aren't causing trouble, and you call the cops on the two black men, but not on the white people also sitting in the same store without purchasing anything, you've done something wrong. Other customers were speaking up, pointing out white customers sitting there without purchases, as the cops were leading the two black men out of the store in handcuffs.
> They did not purchase anything so this is the very definition of loitering.

No, that's not the definition of loitering. They had a purpose to be there. They were waiting for a friend.

Don't blame them for taking advantage of the current media attention facebook is getting to bump firefox containers a bit! It's pretty neat technology.
Up until now I hadn't heard of their containers feature despite being a Firefox user so at least one techy has benefited from this update. Though I doubt I am alone.
Note that Nashorn is very slow - Graal.JS is orders of magnitude faster, and its peak performance is very close to V8 (although with a somewhat slower startup, currently).

Sure, wait a month then go to a starbucks store and peacefully and politely hang out for a few hours without purchasing anything. If nothing happens up till then, try to use the restroom too. Then hang out some more before leaving.

If you don't spend the night in jail, then you have one data point suggesting not PR.

Have a reasonable sample of people repeat the experiment in multiple locations and multiple times and carefully record and report the results to you.

Collate the data points and report on the number of people arrested during the experiment.

Yeah, the first peak around Feb 1 is almost a mirror image of tax day. You could load up for first peak, ramp down for the trough, then load back up again for the “deadline” (not actually a deadline). But you’re taking about 100s of times more scale, not 10s.
I knew that Microsoft had to call their ECMAScript implementation JScript, but it never dawned on me that Oracle is the current owner of the "JavaScript" trademark:

http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=2416017&caseSearchType=US_...

Between this and Oracle's ongoing lawsuit against Google for their use of Java in Android, I have a pretty low opinion of Oracle.
The challenge is not the restroom policy, it's that it was unequally applied. Any policy is fine as long as it applies to everyone equally.
It would be hilarious to discover if C# runs better on the JVM then CLR.
We used to get along just fine on things like Qt, Gtk (perhaps via Wx), or indeed Tk - in some ways still my favorite after all these years. But then 'easily' wasn't necessarily the gold standard of everything.

I think if you ask, it probably is too complex in your situation.

One thing I think it's valuable to keep in mind is that if you'll have success, you'll go through multiple tech eras, and you'll have to change (pick you favorite) language|service|cloud|etc.

If you choose not to use k8s today, and in 2 years it will have the features you'll need with the right amount of complexity for you, then that will be the right time for you to introduce k8s. If you do choose k8s today, in 2 years you'll have to do a change anyway, either in this or another domain.
I don't know, for this type of fake video, you don't even need a face mapping or a voice mapping implemented by deep learning.

Just take any random Barack Obama video which we have plenty of, use similar male voice, or copy&paste convenient Obama's voice without context, and some people believe it.

It won't fool everybody but that is not that important. Some people still believe it and act accordingly(Pizzagate conspiracy theory) and that's more than enough to achieve the malicious intent.
That's around the time public-key crypto was invented. Coincidence?

They don't do the same to the white customers who also loiter at the same shop.

As usual, rules become guidelines for the privileged.
It sounds like most of this stuff has more to do with you than the place/city/town you're referring to, which is fine, but would seem to indicate the criticism of place is misdirected.

It's hard to keep up with advances in scientific knowledge -- this paper seems to hypothesize that Vitamin D deficiency is a symptom of inflammation in the body rather than the cause of any issue and recommends not supplementing with Vitamin D!

Uh it says I'm on Firefox 52 and can't install this. But I'm on Firefox 59.
Yes, this.

It also doesn't help that the need for translation means that some of the newer material is not available, or bad translation simply makes it seem more obscurantist than it is.
I've been trying to use Firefox's containers for a while. They are pretty clunky - you need to open a blank container tab using a menu and then enter the url. I forget to do that all the time, so after some time you are just logged into everything in the "global" container, or logged in to google and twitter in the same container etc.

If you check the "Always open this page in this container thing" - then it prompts you with an "are you sure you want to open this page in this container" every time you go to that page which is very annoying. Edit - this is not true - there's a checkbox to "remember your choice". I don't know why I didn't see it.

They are error prone enough that they aren't good tracking protection. Just use ublock origin or a similarly good privacy plugin to globally block as much tracking as you can.

The facebook container eliminates some of those annoyances, but only for facebook.
Socially, we would likely change. However, I don't think that would drastically change behavior.

The magnitude of incorrectness/malicousness in reporting is irrelevant to this: No single source will leave you with a broadly-informed understanding, even if by simple way of time/space constraints in their output.

Even the simplest of biases affects editorial decisions as to which content to prefer over others. Omissions of viewpoints or of counterpoint example stories means you don't get the big picture, even without some massive media scandal. People scream distrust at media channels for leaving out information they view as critical, and go elsewhere to find those details (for better or worse).

The moving part of a "tape library" is known as a "tape robot." For the past few decades there really have been physical robot arms retrieving data from long-term storage. This is still an area of development today, because tapes are cheap but only if you don't need a drive for each one.

By comparison, I wouldn't consider VS Code a "simple" UI. And replicating it with Qt, GTX or anything else would be a significant endeavor for even one platform, let alone three very different platforms. They all have serious flaws. As a user, I'd rather have something useful now, than wait a couple years hoping to maybe see a linux or mac release of a program.
It's smart – my only complaint when seeing this is "how come nobody's focusing on Google?"
So yeah, SEO has changed the definition of "content writer" to mean a spam artist. However, this was a real writer, the type who went to journalism school and wrote for dead-tree publications, and she just happened to put these writings into my Wordpress interface. Her credentials on the topic were impeccable and she was hired primarily for that. Maybe it's inappropriate to call her a "content writer" if the connotation is that content writers are unambiguously spammers.
> This analysis is obviously wrong, if the important thing was establishing a global clock, you could just use GPS receivers

Is it so obviously wrong? From the first paragraph of the introduction to Satoshi's Bitcoin Paper: "In this paper, we propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server to generate computational proof of the chronological order of transactions".

GPS is a trusted system, whereas bitcoin is designed to be completely trust-less. The reason why timestamping is a difficult problem is that if I publish two transactions spending the same money, the network must agree on the order of events (which is to say: must assign different timestamps to the two transactions) so that one is considered valid, and the other invalid. Doing this without proof-of-work leaves you vulnerable to Sybil attacks, where I can pretend to have an overwhelming amount of nodes in the consensus, and vote for the more favourable (to me) transaction to be considered the canonical one.
I doubt it will be for a whole afternoon. My bet is on a "webinar" mode: 1-2hrs closure, with with something like: 20min intro; 20min talking head video; 20min "any questions?" They'll make new employees watch it and they'll post it on the corporate website ("make available").

As a political radio host I used to listen to once said (on air, paraphrased from a memory from the early 2000s): "You should doubt and check everything I say. My job is not to inform you or tell you the truth. My job is to keep you listening so advertisers will pay my employer to run their ads."

Nation-state governments don't have a monopoly on coercion. In the US at least, there are multiple political governments (state and Federal, not to mention HOA). Governments apply coercion across borders, and also residents can leave (most) nation-states.

I believe you are incorrect.

Two men wanted to use a SBUX restroom without purchasing anything. I guess they had to ask for a key or something? Otherwise how would sales intervene? Anyway, they were told they weren't paying customers so they couldn't. They then squatted and cops were called.

I really don't know the details, and it's easy to assume either or both parties were asinine. Maybe they really were doing nothing wrong, or maybe they were disturbing customers. No news I've read characterizes the incident. In any case, even if an employee handled it poorly, it sounds like an overreaction.

The first point was pedantic.
Does anyone else think the guys looked like homeless people and that contributed to calling the police. Why weren't the guys at fault. They should have just left the store. That wha a reasonable person would have done. I've seen baristas ask white people to leave before and they've all done that.
Weak move by Amazon, "OK Computer" would have been so good of an option, also for being a small tribute to Radiohead.

I enjoy browsing HN because the conversation are usually of a higher intellectual calibre, and I am here to learn as much as to contribute knowledge that is within my own domain.

Therefore I believe it is a high priority to keep the signal to noise ratio well pegged in the 'signal' zone. Comments like the above are merely 'noise' which is based on ignorant preconceptions and doesn't really elicit meaningful discussion or move the conversation forward in any way.

I rarely downvote, but do so when I think the post does not add significant value to the topic at hand.
Coincidentally, a friend recently showed me his "mushroom hat", which is made from "amadou": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadou.

> News organizations are (not surprisingly) entirely motivated by profit.

That's an over-simplication.

Sure, Jeff Bezos probably wants to make a profit with his purchase of the Washington Post. But the profits there are probably not his main objective as they are too small to make much of a difference to a person of Bezo's wealth.

Bezo's goal is to have a mouthpiece to push his agendas, such as pushing Amazon and trashing Musk properties. So you say that the purpose in doing that is to make more money. But the problem with that line of thinking is that you could reduce almost any action to "profit". You could reach further back and go a level lower and say that making profit is motivated by reproductive fitness, and thus "News organizations are entirely motivated by sex". But at some point you have to let go of the circuitous route from action to final motivation and focus on the immediate drivers of an action.

Politics, money, sex, job security, prestige, etc all all motivations for news organizations, as well as many other organizations.
Truffle tech lead here. Happy to hear you are not giving up :-) Do you mind if I include your language on the experiments list?

BTW.: I'd recommend upgrading one Truffle release at a time. So it should always continue to compile. Just fix the deprecation warnings and continue with the next version until you reached the last version. We always keep deprecations for at least one version before we remove/break APIs.

Going to the store and not buying anything is certainly not the definition of loitering.

I’m just going to come right out and say it. Your post is racist bullshit.
Perception runs on hardware, but it's software. It's importance is non-physical. Penrose[1] divided the realms of reality into 3: platonic-mathmatical, physical reality and the mind. I think Tesla is also suggesting scientific study of the mind is distinct from physics. I agree too. Perception is bad representation of reality, but it shapes all of the human experience.

> then it prompts you with an "are you sure you want to open this page in this container" every time you go to that page which is very annoying.

That isn't true - you say yes/no the first time and then it's automatic. Works great for me.

I create a container for every service I want to stay logged into and whitelist the specified sites with Cookie Autodelete (which is container aware), then auto delete all other cookies on tab close.
At least some of this exists in UU churches.
I think to be clear you need to make it known that by 'liberalism' here you mean classical liberalism -- the meaning of the word as Europeans understand it, not liberalism as Americans understand it. To Americans 'liberal' is a bag into which they shove almost everything .. from quasi-Marxists to Clinton neo-liberals, despite those folks having almost nothing in common.
There's three fundamental network protocols at play with bitcoin: Node discovery, transaction broadcasting, and consensus. Node discovery and transaction broadcasting are "easy" gossip protocol problems. It's the consensus that's novel, and that's where blocks, proof-of-work, etc come into play. The gossip protocol for transaction broadcasting ensures that the whole network will see (almost) all transactions before they're published in a block.
