Yes, not nearly the quality of tools. When I was programming back then I programmed much closer to the cpu (less abstraction through libraries and less automated tools). This made me look much closer at the issues listed above. I also ready full books on the programming language and command sets. Unlike now, if I use a new library/language, I just scan the online docs to get the gist of what I need to do.

So I guess I had the opposite experience.
Get a sideways mouse instead. That results in your wrist no longer twisting to use the mouse. As someone with some sort of RSI condition it was the biggest difference maker and I could feel the benefit instantly.

For many people, this is not true. Look at how common a second-act career has become.
I switched to mousing left-handed about ten years ago, and actually use the mouse more, not less, because it's now so close. I still use the keyboard for invoking commands, but use the mouse a lot more now for moving the cursor, even for quite short distances.
It proves, that it is impossible to design any formal system, within which it would be possible to prove every principle/aspect that applied to that same system ( aspects that nevertheless WERE true, and CAN be proven by using a 'bigger hammer'.)
In a way, the problem is, that whenever you expand your system to make it 'more complete' (to be able to prove more stuff), you'll invariably introduce new aspects you THEN can't cover. You "can't pull yourself up by your own hair".
A database would normally be deployed as a stateful set, with the data stored in a volume, created and maintained by a PVC (persistent volume claim). This mechanism ensures that in the case of your pod dying and getting recreated on a different volume, it would see the same data as before, with the PVC getting mounted on the same pod. This mechanism is still one of the weaker links in the Kubernetes chain, in my experience, as the PVC feature is implemented completely differently on each platform, and is prone to bugs (see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/60101, from Kubernetes version 1.7 on Azure, for example). Kelsey Hightower himself mentioned in a tweet that he prefers hosted solutions for persistency, and Kubernetes for stateless applications. Also, you should have a look at operators for managing applications on Kubernetes, such as this one for PostgreSQL: https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator.

I was thinking move them to the country AND supply them with their drug of choice, at least until hopefully someone discovers a miracle cure for addictive behaviour, which would be a better solution. Or why not relocate them to a closed environment with no abusable substances whatsoever?

Some people are incapable of looking after themselves, or fall into addiction after horrible experiences, and leaving these people to stew in their own juices rather than intervene is inhumane. We do after all section people that are a risk to themselves or others, so this is not without precedent.

Well, when we got mice, they felt kinda optional. So organically we used the left hand for them.

I keep it like that now. There are way more buttons on the keyboard - more work for the right hand.

Default WASD gaming is also more solid: place the thumb of your right hand on the left Ctrl - you can do a healthy rotation around this point while all other fingers are always above some relevant keys.

Mouse on the left is useful if someone is sitting alongside you (on your left) and wants to point something on the screen with your mouse.
> Google and the rest run sophisticated copyright infringement detection not because they CAN or have the resources, they do it because they are obliged by US copyright law.

No, they are not obliged to do so. The DMCA obliges people to remove infringement on request of the copyright owner, i.e., it requires that websites be reactive instead of proactive. This is notable because Content ID is actually more restrictive than what the DMCA requires (particularly with regards to fair use exceptions).

Unfortunately the paths of Haiti and the US could not be more divergent. Independence has served the US much better than it has Haiti.
I read the title quickly as “how to upgrade from an autonomous to a manual driving license”. I thought this was going to be a sachastic article about driverless cars.

FYI in the US there is no separate license. And “manual” is often called “standard” or “stick”.

No idea why it is called “standard” when automatic transmission is the standard in the us today.
It works even if the process is "we ask an oracle for a prediction".

The more that Nate Silver produces new prior probability estimates for events, the better an idea we can get of the accuracy of his process. This measure is calibration, as the original article mentions.

If our oracle tells us that an event has a 70% chance of happening, then regardless of whether the event happens or not we can't say much about the oracle's calibration. But if, out of 100 independent events the oracle has predicted to each have a 70% chance of happening, 69 of those events actually happened, then that tells us quite a bit.
As a side note, I've spent quite some time calling the offices and sending individually personalised e-mails to most of the PPE abstain voters. I guess normally they would've voted in favour. Maybe it's possible to have some small effect in the end?

Random story time: I have vivid memories of my (left-handed) dad insisting on having the mouse on the left of the keyboard. I remember it being annoying to move it back to the right side after he had used the computer. But when asked today, my dad – with apparent full sincerity – says it's preposterous and he has no memory of that. Given that he's worked with computers pretty much since I was born, he must remember if that was the case, right?

I guess it may have to remain a mystery.

I sometimes feel like half of what my dad did when I was very young must have been planting these weird memories as an experiment in order to see how I react to it when I get older. (I also remember him deliberately picking out the bottommost package of diapers in the pile at the dollar store, causing the entire pile to fall and cascade over the floor. Cannot get him to admit it to this day. I did very recently manage to drag out of him an admission of the sleight of hand where he ceased his heartbeat in the wrist, something else he's denied for a long time.)
I've recently moved from ECS to Kubernetes, and much prefer kubernetes

In general ECS is fine when you have 1 or 2 services, but once you have 10s or 100s it gets pretty unusable.

Logging: While ECS ships everything to cloudwatch, actually accessing them is a nightmare and usually more effort than it's worth. It's very easy on k8s to get logs shipped from every container to elasticsearch and browse with kibana.

Autoscaling: Possibly less of an issue now that fargate's a thing - but fargate's expensive. Kubernetes makes it easy to set up both node level autoscaling, and deployment level autoscaling

Ingress: With ECS you have to set up loadbalancers for every service individually - in k8s once the controller's properly set up every service defines its own ingress, and the only manual change you have to do is create a DNS entry (only if you can't use a wildcard)

Metrics: Prometheus is very ingrained in kubernetes, and you get a wealth of information from every service almost "for free" once you've installed it.

And more: service meshes, secret control (through e.g. vault), declarative definitions, provider agnostic

Kubernetes has a huge startup cost and learning curve, but is incredibly powerful once you're up and running

> The top 1/4 in the US have easy, fast access to some of the most elite medical care on the planet. And if you're making $142k in salary in the US, your healthcare is entirely paid for.

There is nothing surprising in the fact that the top 25% earners have access to healthcare. The point of public healthcare is to make sure that the remaining 75% will not get indebted to barely survive.

What would worry an European worker would be :

- What would happen to my (and eventually wife's and kids') access to healthcare if I lose my job ?

- What if I want to start a business ?

- What if I want to go back to college ?

- What if I have to take care of a family member full-time ? Who protects me and this member ?

I am sure US medical care is very elite but what I also see is that a very large part of people who fell into poverty in the US did so because of unexpected health problems that would be taken care of in most European countries.

> I gather the Indians still claim that some parts of British royal jewelry were stolen from them and should be returned with an apology.

Interesting, I don't see any "first principles" reason why this couldn't be done, except for some bend radius that might be just too tight [0]. Also the pipe would have to be made of something more solid than rubber to overcome the water pressure (it's not much but it's still there).

From a risk management point of view however this solution seems a bit reckless, as a rescuer you never want to cause more damage/hazard than what's already present and this untested solution could fail in some catastrophic ways. What to do if the pipe becomes punctured? How do you rescue somebody that becomes stuck for whatever reason? (think also psychological factors)

If you compare this to just waiting a few months and walking out you might conclude that it's not worth the risk.

See the following paper for why they are is no strong evidence for a decrease in reaction times.

"Is there any evidence of historical slowing of reaction time? No, unless we compare apples and oranges" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016028961...)

>In this paper, we reconsider a tendency of historical slowing of simple reactions to visual stimuli declared by Woodley et al. (in press). We begin by reconstructing a pendulum similar to that used by Galton and question whether such an instrument could indeed be appropriate for purposes of RT measurement. Next, we screened the other studies used in Woodley's meta-analysis and note the important properties of these studies that make the RTs that they report incomparable to each other. We claim that there is no evidence of the trend of historical increase in RT after these differences between studies are taken into account. Overall, we conclude that any cross-study comparison of RTs is uninformative and cannot provide any evidence for speculating on the topic of historical change in intelligence.

another interesting paper on this topic is:

"The magical numbers 7 and 4 are resistant to the Flynn effect: No evidence for increases in forward or backward recall across 85 years of data" (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016028961...)

> Based on Digit Span Forward (DSF) and Digit Span Backward (DSB) adult test scores across 85 years of data (respective Ns of 7,077 and 6,841), the mean adult verbal STMC was estimated at 6.56 (± 2.39), and the mean adult verbal WMC was estimated at 4.88 (± 2.58). No increasing trend in the STMC or WMC test scores was observed from 1923 to 2008, suggesting that these two cognitive processes are unaffected by the Flynn effect.

(Caveat: I'm a computer scientist, not a mathematician)

The halting problem, and universal computation itself, came directly out of work on incompleteness. Incompleteness is about being unable to prove statements in a particular system; it leaves open the possibility that a more powerful system might be able to prove that statement (but that more powerful system will have its own incompleteness, and so on).

Turing got involved after attending a series of lectures on Goedel's incompeteness theorem. He came up with turing machines, showed that they cannot decide their own halting problem, and proved that they're equivalent to lambda calculus. Goedel tried to make a more powerful alternative to lambda calculus, called general recursive functions, but it also turned out to be equivalent to turing machines and lambda calculus.

This lead to the Church-Turing thesis, which claims that any effective/physical/realisable system of logic cannot be more powerful than turing machines/lambda calculus/general recursive functions. In this sense, we can still "solve" the halting problem by using a more powerful logical system (e.g. oracle machines), but the Church Turing thesis says that we can never carry out those calculation to get a true/false answer.

I like to think of incompleteness as a mathematical property, applying to all systems but allowing the "escape hatch" of switching to a more powerful system; and I like to think of the Church Turing thesis as a law of physics, that there is a limit to the logical power of any physical system (i.e. Turing completeness).

One thing that I didn't do at that age and very much regret is to be really conscious of being healthy and physically fit.

That's the right time to learn what you should and shouldn't put in your body, and how to be constantly active. There's a million different ways to accomplish that but it's important to find one.

People at that age often don't really understand how closely linked physical fitness and mental health are. But if you ignore it there will be consequences.

It's incredibly hard (impossible?) to come up with a system which cannot be prepared for by a subset of students with access to top tier tuition. You can do some score normalisation based on background but I expect you'd agree that isn't going to help if people can't get through the first years course content?

I don't believe anyone wants the course to be easier. So how do you enable people who are underprivileged to catch up with a shitload of additional tuition which has been offered to other applicants? How do you distinguish effectively between the two, whilst also accepting high aptitude students?

It's not that I think any elite university does this brilliantly - but as someone with a decent level of exposure do you have a feeling on whether there are complete solutions?

By closing off your source code from the community at large, you prevent people from auditing, extending, and improving your codebase. There IS power in the masses, and such a power can be used to offload the work that you DO NOT want to do, such as achieving portability, to those who actually care about it.
