RTFM hits me all the time.

I was struggling with something recently. Gave up and went to eat. I was standing in line and googling around a bit and blammo in the documentation ... right there, as if it was written for me was a paragraph saying how to do the thing I kept dorking up word for word.

If I had just taken the time to read that software's instructions past page 3... but nope I didn't.
A biggest problem with farming these days is labor. Period. Growers (farmers) cannot manage 6000 acres of land. They rely on their crop consultants to tell them where to spray and what they need to spray. Once you start automate these tasks, e.g. crop scouting, then the grower and the consultant can use data to spray less and produce a higher quality crop.
That's why your current company hired you.
Working on DNNs is more similar to gambling on the slot machines then it is to traditional programming. I gather training data, write a python script, and then pay around $1 for GPU time to see if it's a winner. Instead of watching spinning reels I watch loss function graphs. 95% of the time it is a bust, but every once in a while you get a big payoff. I feel very smart when I win, but deeper investigation inevitably reveals I have no idea why A works and B does not.
Since the record player analogy was mentioned, I'll just quote the relevant entry from the Index of GEB, page 772.

...what?

I don't agree with any part of that. Public fear of nuclear power has nothing to do with the magnitude of disintegrations per second/becquerels/curies, Compton scattering, schroedingers equation, or any other science buzz word you want to apply. Why are you going out of your way to make this complicated when almost no one has any idea what you're talking about?

The resistance to nuclear power is a straight up FUD campaign. Everyone knows how radiation works - you get sunburned every day and you drastically raise your chances of getting skin cancer. In fact nuclear power is safer per twh than any other fuel source, by a lot.

> Something I never understood is why people choose 192.168.1.1 for private networks

While interviewing someone for an entry-level job, I told the interviewee that there was a network using 10.0/16 (a 16-bit subnet mask, or more popularly 10.0.x.x). He corrected me and said that 10.0.0.0 networks should have an 8 bit subnet mask (10.x.x.x). On one hand, I definitely liked that he was willing to challenge me, even during an interview, and that he knew the spec (RFC 1918 does assign an 8-bit mask to the 10. private network). On the other hand, I wasn't sure he was technically correct that a 16-bit mask was wrong, even if 8-bits was 'correct', and I couldn't see what negative consequence the 16-bit subnet had - his thinking seemed a bit rigid. Anyway, maybe there are other purists who believe smaller networks should use 192.168/16, or maybe they instinctively use it because the RFC gives it the smaller network allocation. Or maybe they know something that I don't.

> isn't 10.1.1.1 easier to type and more "aesthetically pleasant"?

And it's much easier for non-technical people to understand and to remember without error. In fact, I recommend something even easier, such as 10.9.8.x. For people supporting the non-technical, those little details can save hours, even a day. I've seen cases where after hours of frustration, the support tech discovers that the user typed in something like 129.168, or 192.16.8. Great support reps are great humanitarians, able to handle those situations with grace, without humiliating the poor user, and without heavy drinking.

Best of luck with your business, but make sure the fundamental legal contract between you and your customers is thorough so that both you _and your customers_ are protected.
In the end you need just too much collection area - more than the square footage of each floor put side to side. It's easier to put the 'collection area' somewhere remote as solar panels and bring in the light as electricity. The energy cost isn't that big a deal compared to the labor cost.
Sure, the service of cancellation is already available to everyone too. I also don't see how a sidewalk ramp is a better analogy since it's pretty obvious when someone needs to use it at the same time so that you can know you're not getting in their way. Over here you have no idea.

Is the company big enough to sue when something screws up? Tick!

i worked on software like this as a contractor for ausDoD. The same shitty companies who were big enough to sue would get awarded contracts over and over again even though nothing they ever delivered was on time, budget or worked. Accenture didnt even have programmers, they were hire buisness grads and give them crash courses on writing software. so whatever was delivered, would need another billion dollar project to replace it. why? its a massive bureaucracy, where everyone is covering everyone elses ass, everyone is fighting for budgets that they will do anything to protect. 90% famine until the last month, when its a feast and all the desicions get made, because if they dont spend it, they loose it.

The reason why this is changing is not because its a light-bulb moment, its because its taken this long for the people up the chain to backed into a corner. Eric Smitch isnt the first person to think of this, his the first person with high enough clout to get it done (on a micro-level).

suffice to say, working in such a environment is toxic for your career in software development. unless u want to work on these secret networks all your life, on the same software, maintaining it, its just a dead end. Want to use that new web tech? Nup. The SoE takes years to update, you still need to support IE8 for the next decade.

What do you mean by "a normal operating environment"?

Different versions of Windows came with different versions of PowerShell. Some can be patched to have the newer language features (Windows Management Framework 5.1 can be installed on Windows 7), but that won't bring in all the same cmdlets as Windows 10 has, because there aren't the required internals in Windows 7.

If you have different things installed (Hyper-V, ActiveDirectory, any big Windows role/feature) you'll have different modules available, and if you install things like RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) then you'll get server management cmdlets on workstation operating systems.

It's not so much like you download Python 3.6 and get one standard library everywhere, its origins are more in "companies managing their own Windows server estate", so your environment is not standard, it's whatever environment you have.

The standard library, though, is mostly .Net, so depending on your Windows and PS version, it's ".Net Framework 4.5" (or 3.5 or etc.) for .Net framework library features accessed directly from PS.

https://github.com/powershell/powershell is PowerShell 6 / Core, which is a lot more like downloading Python 3.6 - there is everything a PSv6 environment will have, open source on Github and documentation in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-Docs
> Do we really need a non-OCi image format and tool chain here?

This doesn't use a new competing image format, but rather uses disk images or tarballs, which have existed longer than OCI has.

The toolchain also predates OCI since the underlying technology is really basically nspawn (and various other systemd.service options), which have been a part of systemd since before OCI stabilized. This is simply a new coat of paint on something that has been there for a while.

> Containers will be in this role, but fragmentation will only make that process slower and more painful.

Sure, so we shouldn't have let docker do anything and instead used LXC, since LXC already did containers, already had its own format and toolchain, etc.
That's the exact same argument you're making now.

OCI is also not really a good standard. It has exactly one usable implementation (and only in Go, not even C where it's easy to link against and use it from other languages), and since systemd has already defined various things for services (such as seccomp filters etc) which overlap with what OCI does, it makes almost no sense for systemd to begin using it.
Would you mind elaborating on how centralized plants are better from a national security perspective? Wouldn't it be easier for an attacker to disrupt a coal or nuclear plant than it would be to disrupt a more distributed scheme like wind or solar?
Yes, definitely, but people are also 'much more than their SAT scores'.
So now I have to get it out and read it a fourth (fifth?) time. I don't really have the time but I have to.
It seems some people on HN love to hate sytemd. Even though they can't come up with an alternative that's better.

I hated systemd before it was cool to hate systemd. I never had a problem with sysvinit as the root casuse, but I had many problems with systemd as the root cause.

You can send the company a written cancellation letter before you file the chargeback, and get a confirmation from the post office (is that called a registered letter?)
Then you can prove that you cancelled the contract.

Canada is a great place to generate huge amounts of reliable power; there's large masses of relatively geologically stable and safe space to build nuclear on, and huge amounts of flowing water through most of it that makes for lots of Hydro. Canada already sells huge amounts of cheap power to the USA.

If only Trump wasn't hell-bent on spoiling that relationship.

Again, a nice idea in theory but it will just concentrate congestion towards the right, which would exacerbate the speed differential between lanes and make the road much less safe.

It would exacerbate economic disparities, forcing poorer people—who are already chronically time-poor as well as money-poor—to spend more time in their car for the convenience of rich people. Rich people already have innumerable advantages in our society, we don't need to go around looking for more to give them.

(As a comparatively rich person, I appreciate living in a society surrounded by people that are—in the main—well educated, healthy and not overly stressed, and I happily pay a lot in taxes to help maintain that. Which is why the USA holds zero appeal to me; you couldn't pay me to live there.)
I recommend finding overlap between the specialties, that will ease any transition, improve your knowledge of both, and help you find new applications for techniques. I know ML is as hyped up as Data Science has been. It is important to realize that both of those sub-fields have developed out of long histories in Statistics, Math, and CS so try to learn as much of the backstory as you can.
When did you move? I'm not going to argue that NE Ohio is the best place to live in the country or something, I was speaking very particularly about the region I was familiar with because it sounded like there were very broad statement being made.

You are still speaking a bit too strongly though. There is plenty of things in NEO. For starts world class museums and cultural institutions (having been rich in the past helps).I'm living in San Francisco right now, but I could definitely see myself going back someday
I like having a bit of fun with cancellations once I catch on that they're not gonna make it easy.

"Please cancel my service"

"We'd like to retain your business is there anything we can do?"

"Is my service cancelled yet?"

"Why are you cancelling your service?"

"My service is still working, can you cancel it? Is this the cancellation department? Who will be cancelling my service?"

Just pretend like I didn't hear anything they said or asked and keep asking variations of that in an increasingly childlike wondrous tone. Sometimes you can hear the person on the other end getting audibly frustrated until they give in and cancel it just to get you off the phone-and when they finally go "Your service will be cancelled on this date, is there anything else I Can help you with?"

"NOPE THANKS!" and hang up.

Never fails to make me giggle madly. Is it patronizing? Sure. Do I care? No not really-I've asked nicely that I want my service cancelled. That really ought to be the start and end of it. Meeting retention rates is their problem, not mine.

Same thing with upselling at retail establishments. No I'm not a rewards member. No thanks I don't want to sign up. Yep I'm sure. Oh I'm quite aware that I can save 10% over $2500 spent. Hey can I just buy this pair of headphones and gtfo?

That seems like a good approach. Still, it doesn't seem like the rendering code or the Store code could ever really be worked with in isolation. As I said above, picking a coupling boundary is like picking a poison. They all seem to suck for different reasons; I just personally tend to choose component boundaries.

You forgot Response #4: Ok. I'll take your word for it; here's a raise. (Aside to other managers: this guy is a flight risk. Don't offer him any promotions, and start thinking about how we might replace him.)

It happens. Not infrequently. It's why I never tell my employer when I get an offer. They might just give me the raise because it would hurt to lose me today but they can lose me in a couple months, and then the offer I had at the new company is long gone.
> Interestingly, systemd maintainers have consistently refused to make available a Docker compatible version of systemd to run as the init 1.

2. A PR to make systemd-logind work better in a docker container is accepted with no issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4154

3. Running systemd as pid1 in docker (privileged or not) works, so clearly the maintainers didn't do a good job of preventing it from happening. (just google, there's plenty of info out there on how to do this)

I'm sure there are many other examples too, but this is with a quick glance around.

I'd be interested in your reference before you spread such strange FUD.
I think the parent comment is referencing the huge economies of scale you get on shipping things in bulk with respect to CO2 emissions. If you have 1,000 legs of lamb in a shipping container, the per-leg CO2 cost is low in comparison to one leg of lamb in a car, even if the distances are very different. A heavy truck gets maybe 6mpg compared to your car getting 25, but if the truck is carrying 1000x more items, the truck would have to go ~250 times farther to break even.

I'm not sure how it breaks out for air cargo (probably not great), but ocean and rail are both more efficient than trucks.

> Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?

How will these bunker building individuals be viewed by survivors? Inevitably society rebuilds, yet these folks probably won't have anything of value to offer a new community. It's very possible they even lived a life of luxury while everyone else starved.

I think they will be in for a rude awakening when or if that time comes. To that end they're probably not building survival bunkers, they're building tombs.
A nice rule in the abstract.
To be honest, @inferiorhuman keeps providing you with well supported reasoning for his position, whilst your only contribution appears to be "that doesn't meet my personal standards", which is devoid of any meaningful content for the rest of us.

While #1 (and your general point) is correct monoecious crops still have to be pollinated if the product is a fruit or seed. The stone fruits for instance are monoecious with male and female parts of flower on same plant unlike marijuana or dates where plants are either male of female. But this isn't leaf crops as you mention.

In some species pollination occurs generally just with wind or movement (rather than insects), for example corn where the pollen falls down from flowers above onto the silks which are the female portion (sort of a vaginal canal if you will, i.e for every corn seed there is an attached silk). Or tomatoes which have closed flower and generally always self pollinate as the flower is blown or shaken with a very small amount of cross pollination on occasion. Pretty cools setup with these type of plants, massive reproductive efficiency through mostly self pollination but a little bit of crossing occurs as the occasional foreign grain of pollen gets from another plant so there is genetic variation.
I don't think this is actually true. As long as you don't get vaporized in the immediate detonation radius or killed by shrapnel, the acute survival rate is actually very good (that's why cold war PSAs always show people getting under blankets and desks; if you're alive after the blast, you have to worry about flying glass).
