Yes, I think that it's close to an identity, but that wasn't my point. In your previous post, you said,

> There is a vast quantity of new money being created, and it isn't appearing in household incomes. Something should be done.

You seemed to be implying that things were out of control on the money supply. My point was that this is not so. The money supply has to grow as much as the growth of real GDP, or it's deflationary, and deflation is much more damaging than inflation. Money supply growth on top of that results in inflation, but 3% inflation isn't the kind of level that causes real problems.

I don't think that gold is a good metric. Yes, it rose in price from 2000 to 2018, but it fell from 2015-2018, and we still had growth in the money supply and inflation. The price of gold is basically a measure of distrust in fiat currencies. It reflects inflation, true, but it also incorporates sentiment, which can change much faster than the money supply.

I think that invalidates the premise of your third paragraph. (Somewhat: I don't totally buy the official inflation statistics either. But measuring by gold isn't the answer.)

The answer to "Are people dumb enough to take selfies doing X?" is "If there is no (implied) IQ test to get to do X, they will sooner or later."..

It's a sorry state, and as far as trampolines go, I'd consider it find as long as it does not impair your movement or hurt you if you land on the pocket, and it's tight enough to not fall out of the pocket if you were to walk on your hands upside down.
I am a huge fan of Apple's products and never understood the fuss when the new Pro Keyboard attracted bad press, reading it on my old, robust pre-2015 era Macbook.

Until now. I got the new one at my job three months back. And, here I am, still struggling with and super annoyed with the missed keystrokes (the buttons are so thin/don't press properly), the almost non-existent 'Enter' keys (seriously, who messes with the Enter keys! ), the useless touchbar. I look like a klutz when I have to show code/artefacts to someone because I am always mistyping or closing windows.

Additionally, the touchbar led me to one heart-stopping evening of infinite restarts[1].

I am terribly disappointed that they released such a shoddy product, especially since it's used as a workhorse by thousands of developers world-wide.

EDIT: Grammar errors
The Fed and the government in general are incentivized to make inflation appear much lower than it actually is. If you use the same calculation the Fed used in the 80s to measure inflation then we’d be at 10% today.
There's another thing, a team of specialists usually requires more management, planning and a good team culture to avoid "not my job to think about that" syndrome.

This is mostly for large repositories where building the revisions graph takes a long time (aka 5+ figures revisions). I have two of those from $dayjob, most of the stuff I work with/on/for doesn't come even remotely close. Running this on a repo with 5 commits is all but useless.

And even then you still really only need run it once per repository, you can just cd/paste/return; cd/paste/return; … Hell, you'd probably have an easier time writing a script which looks for all git repositories and runs the command versus having to manually visit each and do so.
low education, low income, and high religiosity

This describes much of Europe less than a century ago. None of my grandparents had more than four years of schooling. The local priest had enough power to imprison people. People were punished for homossexual acts until quite recently (e.g. Turing). In Ireland, divorce only became legal in 1995.

Low income and education is not a genetic characteristic, it can and is changeable.
You're right. I made an edit.
The real problem is they have no competition, so they can do whatever they want. See the person describing their Dell XPS problems somewhere in this discussion.

All the various stupid decisions and quality problems add up slowly, but I'd hate for my 2012 mbpro to die right now. I might reluctantly go for something from Dell or Lenovo with Linux, but I'm sure I'll get a thousand paper cuts from things I used to take for granted but don't work any more.
It's very much a meaningful metric when the entire point of TFA is caching the commits graph. This is only an issue when you actually have lots of commits, and even more so a very branchy graph.

Kontena Pharos (https://github.com/kontena/pharos-cluster) aims to make installation of Kubernetes as easy as possible. Works on any cloud or on-premises, also ARM64 supported.

It handles HA-setup, etcd member replacements, hardened configuration for enhanced security (follows NIST SP800-190 recommendations). You can easily extend the installation with addons of your own or from any Kubernetes ecosystem project

(Disclaimer: I'm one of the contributors)
See charts. Likely, but still 30% speed boost is not a factor for someone learning DL (then debugging, or training wrong models, can easily give overhead of 5-20x).
Isn’t this prone to inductive fallacy? Just because we’ve never seen overpopulation as problem doesn’t mean it won’t become one. Ultimately, earth as planet is finite.
I think it is housing prices. Banks sign money into existence as your debt. And then you work to pay it off plus interest. We bought our house from a single old lady for about 195.000 euros (plus 40.000 for restructuring and then some for taxes), this woman bought this house in the sixties for 19.500 guilders (8.850 euros), she got about 186.000 euros just for living there for 50 years.

Meanwhile we pay the bank 4.85% of 245.000 yearly for 30 years (ok, it's less now for sure) but that 4.85% would amount to 349.000 euro's for the banking system, just for signing my debt into existence. In this way they constantly squeeze society.

If you do the math you see that you pay over 300 a month to decrease the debt while paying about 1000 in interest. If housing prices rise more than wages at some point both parents have to work full time and can afford less and less luxury items. Then we are at "maximum squeeze".

Can you imaging that my parents once payed 12% mortgage interest! of course houses were cheaper then (this was early 80's) but still.

People with 2 incomes by the way can save a full income (although I know some people that really can't afford to have one parent at home), they really don't feel anything, but banks are eating away are our wealth people, wake up. And when the banks fall because they took to much risk, they require our money again, to be saved!

Maybe you are on to something. All the major ORM's are open source (AFAIK) so if you made a write-up of the common issues and how you suggest they could be detected by the ORM, I think it would be very well received.

That's completely unnecessary and way too frequent. Some where else (reddit I think?) the authors noted that they'd like to have it run alongside GCs in the next version. So running it as pre-auto-gc is a better idea.
This is objectively untrue. You either have no idea what you're talking about and don't use Bitcoin, or you're lying. I've used Bitcoin for years for all kinds of things. I can only surmise this isn't downvoted to oblivion because a lot of people who dislike Bitcoin (or its users) for ideological reasons use HN.

What's wrong with that? If you are able to develop working stuff by yourself, with help of documentation and WWW, it's perfectly alright - those are the tools you will usually have in the real world anyway. You can't keep all the details for various topics, or different library APIs in your head anyway.
Agreed. A good teacher is important.

However I still feel like C may not be the best first language as it's low level. This means there's a lot going on and more to learn for the average user so they end up getting stuck more often then if they used a language with memory management. This is based off the premise that the user is of average intelligence and you don't want to to put them off programming.
That makes this almost completely uninteresting then.
I guess since you posted a comment twice. Not that familiair with HN unspoken rules. But I guess HN just like other forums don't appreciate double posts

Awesome. Progress marches on!
Should be. Windows is actually not crashing the desktop when the driver balks, so you can AFAIK run a Windows VM on a Linux and switch the PCIe GPU (yes, i915 counts from Haswell on) via KVM/QUEMU/IO-MMU between host and VM, with the latter not caring much, but the former crashing Xorg.
Money is persuasive, but can also buy coercive.

If there are no boundaries or rule structures, then the incentives often (always?) bleed into some involved party not having a choice, or a Hobson's choice.
For nn's in my experience out of memory, and preprocessing tends to cause an equal number issues as the nn optimization. Which tfrecords and streaming seem to solve. Are there similar object loading facilities in pytorch? Though I have not specified models in keras, since it is now part of tf i presume the formats are compatible.
I recommend Rancher for the small business that wants to roll their own Kubernetes for free. Rancher 2 is a bit underdocumented right now, but we had great success with Rancher 1.

Your bare metal hosts can be provisioned as Rancher hosts, which are dumb slaves managed by a Rancher server.

From the Rancher server, you can trivially express "I want this Docker container deployed across n Rancher hosts" or "I want 1 instance of this docker container across all Rancher hosts with the tag "has public IP".

You can group your Rancher hosts into Sandbox and Prod Rancher environments. You can easily install Rancher's load balancer service on them, or mount network storage, or register secrets upon them (like private Docker registry keys).

It also gives you health checks, host monitoring, and zero downtime redeploys. Super easy to use from the UI or CLI. Easy to install, too.
I agree, it is cool. Real-looking, too.
Yeah, stripe does the same thing with their status page. I get alerts that they have an outage at least once a week and more often than not it never shows up as anything in their history. Honestly this is my only significant beef with the service and I've been using it for years now with multiple integrations.
Upgradeable, modular machines is the real takeaway, not a drawn out discussion about keyboards.

The old MacBook keyboard felt fine and is most certainly adequately robust being of conventional construction.

Though I’d argue the iBook/PowerBook keyboard could be considered better purely from a modularity standpoint.

ThinkPad keyboard FTW, natch.
>[...] ORMs are so controversial in part because they often obscure that you're doing something crazily ineffective ...

Then just turn on detailed SQL logging while you are coding and keep an eye on the queries generated by your ORM calls.

If you do this methodically for all your DAOs, then you should spot performance problems early when they can still be easily fixed.
For the sake of the environment and every nonhuman species, we'd better hope that population growth doesn't just stall but reverses itself.

> dump and freeze Keras' Tensorflow graphs

You can get a direct reference to the graphs if you want, that will let you do anything tensorflow lets you do. I think this is what you want:

# This assumes your model is ready to be called with .predict()
sess = keras.get_session()
graph = sess.graph
graph_dev = graph.as_graph_def()

frozen_graph = tf.graph_util.convert_variables_to_constants(
sess, graph_def, nodes_to_output)

> There’s more to lifelong financial planning than “can I afford house payments?”.

I think a key difference here is pensions and social security too.

I live in Sweden don't have any lifelong financial planning. I expect to have a decent pension coming from payments made by my employer, not saved by me (I save a little to extend it just a little bit). I expect that if I get sick I'll get by on my public and private insurances.

That is: I expect to have a whole working life where I don't need to put aside anything. As long as I afford my house, car, holidays etc - I'm fine.

There are no future massive expenses such as my own pension, my kids' college or a sudden illness. And that's also at least partially why my salary is so low, compared to a place where the salary would be required to cover an expensive education, pensions, healthcare etc.

> I would rather have 50% higher expenses and 100-300% higher income

I think this is also a matter of culture. With 100-300% higher income you could argue that you can afford to take a month off every now and then, instead of having the 6w paid a german gets. But the cultural difference is that in the US, perhaps you don't. And with a huge income you can afford to take a year off after having a child. But the cultural difference might mean you can't (because management would object) and so on.

To paraphrase you: there is more to econominc planning than the purely economic too. I think americans often focus a lot (perhaps too much) on income and cost, when the real differences between countries are cultural and lies in how much holiday people take (not just are allowed to take), how long parental leaves are, and so on.

- It's certainly possible to run Kubernetes on bare metal. We do it. I recommend kubespray to set things up, there are a bunch of other ways.

The two big things you get on the cloud that you need plugins for on bare metal are networking and storage. Networking plugins are basically fire&forget these days. Storage is definitely not at that stage yet. You can use a plugin that provides redundancy & failover like Rook/cephfs or Heketi/gluster or you can use local storage and handle redundancy/failover similar to how you'd do it without Kubernetes.

- Kubernetes is like any other abstraction. It complicates things and adds another layer to manage and understand, but it lets you manage disparate server apps similarly. So it really only makes sense if you have a good number of disparate server apps to manage.

- If you're looking for 5 nines or something like that, as a small operator you're more likely to screw things up through a PBKAC or misconfiguration than you are via a hardware failure. So you probably want two clusters with manual failover between them. That way you can switch to one cluster while you operate on the other. The second cluster could be a GKE cluster scaled down, but that's still a bunch of complexity and some expense. You're talking about zonal failures, so you'd need two clusters to protect against that anyways, so...

- you probably need several layers of backups. An etcd backup, ark, and your persistent storage backups. Ark handles persistent storage backups on the cloud, but if you're on bare metal, you need to do that yourself the old fashioned way.

Tortious interference
Hence my point that our reality is the issue, rather than the argument. If we are using language which is inept, ie. unable to capture the reality, then how is cementing the meaning of that language supposed to help?

Are we supposed to limit our understanding of reality by limiting the questions we ask of the language with which we articulate it?

Or another way, how can we ask what consciousness is for a person or an animal or a computer, of we cannot answer it of a rock?

It is not at all to suggest that words have no purpose or are meaningless. Words are currently our best definition of consciousness.
