I think that's an over simplification of sleep. I'm citing the large amount of scientific discussion on the nature of sleep and what happens as the source of my doubt.
Actually it is already possible to create persistent disks through Kubernetes by creating a persistent volume claim (pvc) which triggers an actual persistent volume to be created. Cloud provider controllers take care of this, just like they create load balancers for services.

Also there’s already work being done on supporting cluster management from Kubernetes itself: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api
Contrary to quite flippant and rudely opinionated comments elsewhere in the thread, I was talking to a friend the other day about the benefit of ritual, habit, and community. I think that there is something lost in society when we are all shut away from our neighbors, with no bearing on expectations and support from the community. I don't think God is needed for it, but I think rituals are useful to society.
I would say Child B would be a lot more successful if he had drive than if he didn't. Same with Child A. I've known a lot of rich kids that didn't amount to squat. (I went to one of those elite private schools, but my dad was a teacher there, so we got steep discounts).
The twitter feed being a mirror also affects the numbers.

Following a mirror account is less interesting.

Just like how a mirror repo on GitHub is less interesting to star than a repo that has GitHub as its designated main location.
> and not something that wasn't designed to create jobs for consultants.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Consulting companies are drawn to operational complexity, of which Kubernetes has a lot of, like bears are to honey.

There's a road near the University of Waterloo where students get hit, some killed, on pretty much an annual basis. Often it boils down to the large number of foreign students who come from a part of the world where for one reason or another, you just don't need to bother looking before crossing, so they don't and walk right in front of cars (and in one case a city bus).

To me this is an example of the overwhelming importance of locale-specific context. When I'm near UW, my driving behaviour changes significantly even though the laws do not.
That's just one, very plausible, possible back story. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clogs_to_clogs_in_three_gener...)

But some wealth is effectively a windfall.

Tim Harford's point is that we aren't inclined to think about opportunity cost. It doesn't, in fact, come naturally.

A life of privilege has opportunity costs too: it can be really hard for someone "well born" to acquire certain competences.

And an (elective?) nerd's opportunity cost is all those things that jocks enjoy. (A ridiculous example, sorry!)
The cameras used in applications like these are not like your typical 24-bit RGB cameras in phones or webcams that need gain adjustment: their sensors support a very high range of brightness values (like "high dynamic range") - but the video released to the public and the media would be MPEG/H.26x/etc which do not support HDR - or at least most video players wouldn't. The police probably lacked the expertise to know to demand the raw high-range camera data but instead just asked for "the video" and it's possible Uber deliberately took advantage of their ignorance to release a video that mitigates their culpability.

On 3.11 I used PC Tools 2.0 to modernize the UI (for a while, until stability issues forced me back).

It was an interesting product. Virtual desktops with drag-and-drop of windows between mini-views of said desktops, a file manager with a tree on the left instead of a flat list and with built-in zip support, and all wrapped up in a 3D look very similar to what windows 95 became. Many of its features took years to land in windows proper. It was a sort of vision of the windows that never was.

I generally endorse this kind of reasoning but you should keep in mind that this doesn't work in part because a lot (probably most) don't generally endorse it too.

In the case of the daycare, the price wasn't intended to encourage parents being late at all. The actual price the daycare workers would probably want to charge is not a market clearing price, but a price so high the market doesn't clear. They probably felt trapped into haggling once they put any price on the practice at all.
Ask HN: Crossing over from IT to Engineering?
Worked in IT for most of my 20s,finally getting myself to take a proper college degree. I am split between taking a compsci or Infosec path.

I wanted to see if any engineers here have made a transition like this and also what the industry desires or requires from someone like myself?

I want to know if I even have what it takes to pursue a SDE career (as in what employers want).

I love coding,wouldn't consider myself exceptional and I have no 'professional' coding experience.

If by "from Uber", you mean they popped the SD card from the Uber-owner car's dashcam, sure.

Well, it's just taking money out of circulation with taxes and paying it out again. It's not inherently speeding anything up - if anything, slowing it down, since it spends some time in the governments pockets.

There can be a second order effect of having well off people kick out some money to taxes that would be otherwise going to investments. It might cause a temporary inflation bump in consumer prices and a corresponding deflation in investments/assets. But that's a much smaller effect than what the amount of income transfers is. And causing this kind of increase in rate of economic activity is normally not considered negative, indeed politicians normally try to make them happen. And anyway central banks regulate this with monetary policy.

There is no feedback loop of inflation.
I think you're overselling the extent of the difficulty here. People from out of state usually manage to get through New York, pedestrians and all, without getting into an accident.

A car won't get through a block as quickly as it could if it merely obeys the laws makes sure it doesn't run into anybody. I'm sure this will cause great joy among people crossing the street and consternation among other drivers but the problem isn't a blocking one as long as the car can actually avoid hitting people - even if it's more cautious than it needs to be.
Some control over*

To say poor people have no control is to say they don't have free agency. They are definitely disadvantaged, but not without some control.
Drive.ai launching self-driving service in Texas

I've never written an ENTIRE technical book, but I've written a number of chapters for multi-author titles (namely, Solaris certification study books).

I don't remember making more than $500 from any single chapter I wrote - but even that sure came in handy at the time. It was usually done as work-for-hire plus I got a couple copies of each finished book.

Ended up being worth more as lines on my resume than anything else.
I spend most of my hours during the week.

Depending on what I'm doing and how much I want to get done, I'll usually spend a few hours each day between 10pm - 4am.

If it's a new project or a big feature, I'll carve out a large chunk of the weekend to work on it. Maybe start around 10am, work until 5pm... go get food or go to the bar after that. Do it again on Sunday unless I make other plans.
Could a contributing factor be the quality of food that easier to access when poor? I grew up in a slightly higher than poverty environment and had to cook when my mom was at work. I was probably an exception, all my friends would eat frozen prepared meals and fast food.

Calories certainly do not equal proper vitamins, enzymes and amino acids, required for a developing living being. Frozen meals and fast food have plenty of empty calories and can put the body in survival mode, storing more fat and leading to blood sugar issues, to say the least. Thoughts?
> Having an otherwise healthy person perform high-risk experiments on his own body and then drop dead before hitting 30 doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination.

It leaves a lot actually. There are plenty of stories of otherwise healthy young people dying from an array of ailments. It could have been an undiagnosed condition. It could have been drugs. Perhaps a freak accident in the tank. Or a combination. But until the autopsy results, stop speculating.
I think the revolution is happening slowly and going largely unnoticed, because it's different than we expect it to be.

Personally, I've ditched my personal laptop and moved to an LTE iPad full-time. Between native apps, web apps through Safari, and access to a remote server over MOSH I have everything I need in a mobile computing device. For "real work", I have a MBP that my employer provides... but honestly, I probably don't get enough utility from it to justify the cost. I could work at ~90% capacity from my iPad. If more people adopt my approach, in time we'll see things like full IDEs on iOS and Android that operate against a remote server.

I think Windows and macOS will continue to dominate the desktop environment for the foreseeable future and continue with evolutionary updates, but people will be using mobile phones, tablets, and eventually wearables to do more and more of what they used to do on a desktop OS. We're seeing a slow but thorough redefinition of what people see as a "computer".

I'm looking forward to the rise of AR. VR still feels like it's in its infancy to me; it's fun to play with and you can see the potential, but the real utility hasn't become apparent to the world and won't until several more iterations have happened. I believe the future will look more like Google Glass than Windows 95.
Sounds like the Flynn Effect. (Not one study.)
It's actually the rest of that statement which shocks me a bit:

> In the meantime, we have initiated a top-to-bottom safety review of our self-driving vehicles program,

So they actually think they can continue to work on self-driving vehicles after this, and not scrap the program entirely. That's...not what I expected. No municipality in the country should allow Uber to test on their streets after they killed someone, almost certainly because of their recklessly fast development. That's not something you come back from by promising to Do Better, especially not when there are more than a few competitors already way ahead of you.

They're similar in what they are used for, but they come from different traditions and so have some differences.

F# patterns come from ML, with active patterns added on top. Erlang patterns come from Prolog, with unification removed.

A quick example, in Erlang you can write:

1> (X = {1 = A, [2, 3]}) = {1, [2, 3]}.
{1,[2,3]}

As well as:

1> ({A = 1, [2, 3]} = X) = {1, [2, 3]}.
{1,[2,3]}

That is, the `=` is actually a pattern matching operator and the order of its two operands doesn't matter (well, not really, not everywhere - that's where the "removed unification" comes from - but close enough). That's because in Prolog the `=` operator denotes actual equivalence, not an assignment, and Erlang inherited that.

In F# and OCaml this is done with a special operator, `as`, and it cares about the order of its operands very much. You can do this:

> let (1 as a, [2; 3]) as x = (1, [2; 3]);;
val x : int * int list = (1, [2; 3])
val a : int = 1

but

> let (a as 1, ...etc

obviously won't work.

All in all, both mechanisms work quite well and you can translate between them easily, but they are not 100% equivalent. Erlang has much simpler syntax (it's basically just `=`) while F# adds `as`, `&` and other constructs. In Erlang, once a name is matched with an expression, it is equivalent to that expression and stays that way forever. In OCaml, you can readily reassign matched names. That also makes Erlang pattern matching act like an assert and (identity) comparison in some situations, which are both different things in F#.

So, the use-cases are very similar, but the concepts underlying the mechanisms differ which in turn makes some details of the mechanisms differ too. Both are a joy to work with, to be sure, compared to the "applied ifology" or the dreaded `switch` statement, though :)
Will it really be a betrayal of Android for Google to create and release a replacement based on more than a decade of lessons learned in stretching Android to its limits and beyond. I suspect Fuchsia will eventually become THE Google O/S for phones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices and Android will continue to be developed with new features being added (after they debut in Fuchsia) for a few years. Then Android will receive only fixes and not features... probably announced at the same time that Google officially deprecates Android as a whole.

I, for one, am looking forward to a Fuchsia-tinted future.
> Sometimes when I close my eyes I experience a sense being an ant in a tiny room versus being the size of Galactus in a solar system sized room, and then warping back and forth like looking backwards through a telescope. That is, the relative scaled distances remain the same but the subjective sense of absolute scale starts to oscillate.

I have long had a feeling like this, like being tiny by simultaneously huge, but never have heard of anyone else who had experienced it, probably for lack of a good description of the phenomenon. Great description.
I think body language might be more important, and seems to me should be harder to detect. Eye's are pretty easy to detect because of the contrast between the whites and iris, and, of course they reflect light.

It's been more than 10 years now, but I recall a friend of mine (Arab but living in America for a while) showing me websites and Google bombs that propped up content to change the perception that the name was not Arabian gulf but Persian Gulf. It was linked to Persian technologists who wanted to change this perception.

A funny example of this was that in America, if you googled "Arabian gulf", the top result was a fake old school Internet Explorer 404 page with the title "Error: Gulf not found. You may be looking for Persian Gulf"

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220437752/figure/fi...

Propaganda might be a strong word. It was more that some Arabs I knew in the west believed that Persians were trying to change the name, and not that the Arabs were the ones who actually changed it in the 60s.

I was googling around now, I didn't realize Trump also used Arabian gulf recently: https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/4983604/dona...

That was a milestone on the software industry.
I can't beleive they would do a trail run with an automous truck weighing 80,000lbs barreling down the freeway.

This revolution should have started with mundane tasks, such as city street sweepers and perhaps garbage trucks.
Vehicles that move slow on a predefined path in the night.
Then advance to faster moving objects like taxis.

Just like the DARPA Grand Challenge that started this mess.
Many of those vehicles were industrial usage, not consumer.

Sorry to hear about the audio issues! I tested on chrome and macOS, and didn't encounter anything like that. I'm curious what OS you're using, or maybe its just Google's new 'smart' autoplay policy.
I think I had the same publisher. Two books done in 2010 & 2011, same basic results.

What's worse, once they hit the shelves they were already out of date. The publisher had no interest in a second edition.

But, the books look aweseme on my resume/linkedin. Today, I'm on a career path I wouldn't be considered for if it wasn't for these projects.
I authored and co-authored some books.

I wrote a book on Akka for Packt that has made maybe 5k. Packt is out of India and they have some different standards around topics and contents, but the experience wasn't much different from O'Reilly overall.

And there was a mini book for O'Reilly that netted a couple k, mostly because of later sponsorship.
Writing a book is a really tough experience. I found it taxing. It's interesting going to meetups and having people come up to me and shake my hand though saying they read my book.

I'm not super super happy with either book tbh. It's just such a crazy process to try to get something you're 100% happy with, and once it goes into print that's it forever more.

I would say the impact on my career has been noticeable maybe? You become an expert on a topic by writing well on it because you're forced to fill in all the gaps as you go, and then people give you the credit because you have a book. It sort of happens together when writing a book - becoming an expert and receiving the trust because you're an expert. Even if you thought you knew the subject before, you might find you didn't as well as you do at the end of writing on the topic.

A few related questions: what is the biggest difference between Core 3 and Framework 4.8 in terms of APIs?
Superficially the difference was desktop and a few other areas. Is there a reason to keep both branches of the ecosystem if the API surface grows ever more similar?

Second: is the goal of Core 3 to be “feature complete” for the desktop APIs in the sense that existing .NET 4.7 Windows Forms apps (for example) should work without change in .NET Core 3, or is it a less ambitious plan initially?
I don't see how this is much different than the deadbeat dad billboards and public shaming that we use in the U.S. [1]

They get results: "the first billboards were so successful that another round of the roadside placards are being unveiled this week"

In the deadbeat dad cases the government is working for the best interests of children and women, but if you extrapolate this to a general law and order theme, then why not publicly shame all unrepentant debtors? [2]

Kubernetes came out of the engineering team at Google. It was created by engineers for engineers. The fact that it's being exploited by enterprise consulting types doesn't change that premise.
Wouldn't someone need to fix a broken build? Won't that take time, e.g. five minutes or two hours (or whatever)? And wouldn't it better to break it in a way that it can be fixed quickly?

I guess that it's possible that your code merging workflow allows everyone to work completely independently but some teams don't (and others probably can't). So a broken build is an impediment to other working being done.
There was this site which asked you to classify sentences as profound or bullshit and I feel I got back there...

Betalist Review: Is It Worth Paying $129 to List Your Startup?
You should probably care less about being technical
Love this. I'm as harsh of a critic of organized religion as you'll find but I think secular culture has a lot to learn in terms of how religious rituals and habits can foster human excellence, joy. And finding a way of reformulating these to be consistent with scientific thinking (i.e. throw out the mythology)

Specifically, I've been really curious to understand the relationship between faith and anxiety/depression. You see a surge of mindfulness and meditative practices in the Bay Area that appear like secular replacements for how "faith" in the Judeo-Christian tradition helps people face the unknown and the fundamental uncertainty of the universe.
I think that cultural context definitely influences driving safely. And that's going to be a very hard problem for companies to solve. But I think it's solvable, and part of the solution may be to change how people interact with streets. The introduction of the car caused a lot of problems in cities. People didn't know how to safely drive them, pedestrians didn't know how to deal with drivers, regulation was poor to non-existent, and city infrastructure couldn't handle large numbers of cars. But those problems eventually got fixed.https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan-histor...
