Because racists aren't interested in discourse or even slightly concerned with the hit to reputation in outing themselves. They're seeking platforms to reinforce and spread their prejudicial bias, which Facebook and Twitter provide.

I think Jean Paul-Sartre said it best:

>Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
This sounds pretty close to my experience with Xanax.

This sounds like Lysenkoism [0]. See, it was politically rather important for the Soviet Union to have heritability of acquired traits in humans, which necessarily implied the same in plants. So all that genetic inheritance and crop breeding? Useless quackery. Of course, in the Soviet Union, "quacks" were executed... And this contributed to ongoing crop yield deficiencies.

Facts supporting a terrible conclusion (that blank slate theory is not correct in plants) is not a reason that the facts should be ignored.

My interpretation of devops/noops is that it marks the lack of major distinction in hiring because both ops and development are seen as part of the same process, as opposed to simply pretending you don’t have infrastructure.

This is certainly part of the reasoning for things like terraform, cloudformation, even chef/puppet/ansible—people want a single process for development of reviewing and executing code.

That would be very smart if we had some super-human bug-free angels to oversee the platform and fix out human bugs for us. In reality, since angels are otherwise engaged and unavailable to serve as Facebook moderators, what we'd end up with is one set of humans forcing their bugs onto other set of humans, motivating it as "we are fixing your bugs for your own benefit, you see!". I don't see any reason to prefer the bugs of an anonymous Facebook moderator to my own, at least I know my own and had time to learn to deal with them.
Is it society that is the main resistance? I get the LFTR's have unsolved problems in containing the molten salts and neutron degradation over time, but serious money never really got thrown at something that was basically a sideproject of the Air Force.

Nuclear is so heavily regulated that the players that make money off it seem to effectively block any innovation in it.

I'm surprised they just don't offload the plants across problematic borders and "import" the power.
The way Buzzfeed wrote this headline practically guaranteed the mediocre-bordering-on-toxic thread that resulted here. That quote is taken out of context, and is not the primary message of Stamos' letter. Which is ironic, given what his letter was actually about.

This is a good example of a case where the original article headline is not a good HN headline.

Which has >50M people, 2/3 of the population of Germany. In that comparison, that region should have then 2/3 of the rail network of Germany. It has 1 medium-speed rail line.

The Capitol Corridor, for example, is comparable to a Regio train in Germany (but slower, shittier, etc.).
I thought particle physics were coming to an end? After CERN found the Higgs boson then nothing. The ROI of a more powerful accelerator is abysmal. It is impossible to know how large a new collider needs to be and if anything interesting will be found. Use the money on a moon-base instead and then mars.

> Google's monolithic software repository, which is used by 95% of its software developers worldwide, meets the definition of an ultra-large-scale4 system, providing evidence the single-source repository model can be scaled successfully

This 95% number is the most surprising part of the article. That implies that the sum of engineers working on Android + Chrome + ChromeOS + all the Google X stuff + long tail of smaller non-google3 projects (Chromecast, etc) constitute only 5% of their engineers. Is e.g. Android really that small?
My understanding is that Freedom Zero (et al) doesn't mean "it's okay to use software to rain death on people" but that "hey, if you think X is bad enough to stop with legal force, you should prohibit it with a general law against X, not by binding the software itself with some complex prohibition against using it for X".
I only skimmed the piece, but it doesn't look like it touched on the fact that the brain apparently "resets" during sleep (edit: specifically to foster new memories the next day, from what I gather). I have seen several articles in the last couple of years about the brain shrinking, etc, during sleep.

A quick search pulled up, for example, this piece:

How is a one-time pad going to fix the issues in TLS?

Honestly, it feels like you're treating "one-time pad" as a buzzword without understanding what it actually is. It's just an encryption technique. It doesn't fix the PKI problem. And your one-time pad key needs to be sent over a secure channel. How do you suppose that happens?

Interestingly, I wouldn't use it for that (if at all), because it doesn't actually pass the time at all. You still live the time, experiencing it in full. Ie, a boring day would still be a boring day.

On the flip side, a drug that let you retroactively forget would be heavily used I bet. Traumatic experiences are often wished to be forgotten. Though, I wonder what a human would be like if they didn't have negative experiences. One who was able to remove a big portion of mind shaping experiences. Further yet, I wonder if your mind ever truly forgets. If a dog bites you as a kid, and then you take the forget pill, are you still afraid of dogs?
How does CI work with a monorepo? Do you always have to run all the tests and build all the artifacts? Or are there nice ways to say "just build this part of the repo"?
>It's much harder to make and sell food that only LOOKS healthy, calorie-wise, when anyone can check pretty easily.

Have you read the back of a package recently? This is directly from some nuttella in the pantry:

"Energy 332KJ Daily Intake 4%"

in one point font gray on white "Per 15 gram serve."

Average adult diet of 8700KJ.

On other side of the package: 220g net.

So the actual energy in the package is 4869KJ. This is by far not the worst. I have seen chocolates where the "serving size" was two squares.

You can count on any regulation that is bad for business to be subverted to the point of uselessness.
And totally throw out the "one-time" part of "one-time pad".
What is your source for your claim?
My employer does this as well. Even though I have been on the internet since the early 1990s, I still fell for one. There is just no way around it, if you process 300 emails a day you are going to slip once or twice. The human brain just works that way.

I think they have other mitigation strategies. Like probably quietly installing extra scanners on the email of the most "problematic" people who open anything and forward chain letters constantly.

Germany is a small, dense country, which makes it easier and cheaper to invest in mass transit infrastructure. The US doesn't really need it, outside of California and Eastern Corridor. For most of the US it's an apples/oranges comparison. I'm a huge fan of the US building more mass transit and infrastructure in general, but we have different problems and needs compared to smaller European nations.
They must have meant that 95% of Google engineers use the monorepo in some capacity, even if the majority of their work is done in a different repo.
This may be a nice time and place to ask ... I have docker problems.

We have a monorepo in GitLab and that works nicely. Many Dockerfiles are present in this repo in various folders. They all build private docker images pushed to AWS ECR. They all depend on each other and some have multiple parents, so this sort of forms a family tree.

It is a major pain to know what docker images are stale and need to be rebuilt, and to ensure that it's parents are also up to date. We do all this manually and it sucks.

Some images take hours to build and we only want to rebuild them when necessary.
It would be great if the build server cached build-steps so that the resulting images could share more layers with previously downloaded images, saving hugely on disk space, time and bandwidth for people and servers.

We make sure to have one Dockerfile per folder and a file called "destination.txt" indicating the final image name adjacent to it, this allows scripts to easily build the entire tree of images and parents by scanning our repo.

We want nice automation. I don't even know what the best practices are here.

What should I do?

I think this is a good observation. The USA is just too spread out for rail travel to really work well. Most European countries are no bigger than a medium sized US state, and the cities are denser and smaller than American cities. It's easier to run a rail route between two European cities and realistically serve most of the people in those cities. And the cities aren't so far apart that flying becomes a really time-saving option.

I think you're interpretation is incorrect. A better way to think of this is that those 5% of people work exclusively on those projects. I'd be very surprised to learn that only 5% of Google engineers work on those projects.
Thanks for this! I will take a look. Way more sophisticated than the previous "rebutter".
For safe-looking changes, it's OK to only run a subset of the tests (usually including the tests that directly test the changed library).

For changes that are more likely to break distant code, you can run all tests (perhaps bundling together several changes in order not to overload the system).

Alternatively you can take the risk of breaking tests post-submit... this is not very good citizenship, but in some cases it might be reasonable (when the risk is small).

Dependencies are explicit so the build tool (Bazel, to an approximation) compute the transitive closure of requirements of the desired target.

There are more details about testing at [1]

Indeed, but to be fair, the information in the article is based on several research papers from 2011 [1].

And I am 100% sure the idea of having a monolithic project is several years older than that.

I am grateful that the article is re-posted in multiple websites, because just the other day I was in an interview and, while doing my coding challenge, overheard the conversation of a young computer science graduate and another interviewer. The interviewer asked him to explain what was a monolithic repository and the benefits. This guy had no idea what the interviewer was talking about and right there I realized that what many of us take for granted terminology-wise in the IT world, will certainly be a foreign language to young students who are just entering the work force.

You specify targets. Just like using bazel:
bazel build //tensorflow/blah/....

I maintain a small part of the monorepo, and it's really nice to be able say "Run every test that transitively depends on numpy with my uncommitted changes", so you can know if your changes break anybody who uses numpy when you update the version.

Personally I think it would be neat if there was an external "virtual monorepo" that integrated as-close-to-head of all software projects (starting at the root, that's things like absl and icu, with the tails being complex projects like tensorflow), and constantly ran CI to update the base versions of things. Every time I move to the open source world, I basically have to recompile the world from scratch and it's a ton of work.

That makes a lot of sense. I need to reconsider my podcast and reddit habits.
Acela already exists. It's not very high speed at all, it's consistently higher priced than other competing options like planes or buses, yet it manages to fill seats to the brim. Even at its slower speed, it manages to be preferable to slogging it to an airport, dealing with the security theater, either the mad rush to the plane or the endless waiting, and then doing the whole process in reverse once you land at your destination.

In fact, high speed rail could also be transformative for international travel; airlines could bundle a high speed rail ticket with a much cheaper transatlantic flight from Philly, as opposed to paying out the nose for a flight out of EWR or JFK.
I've seen this recommended a lot and I heard him on NPR.

His comment of not being able to recover from sleep deficit because you don't sleep 16 hours the night following a night with less than 8 hours of sleep made me wary of everything else he might have to say.

That seems like an obviously wrong assumption to make and suggests that there's limited understanding of the underlying system.

One of my favorite papers on the subject, from a colleague's lab:

"Unstable neurons underlie a stable learned behavior"

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5859e85dd2b8571a0a859...

>Motor skills can be maintained for decades, but the biological basis of this memory persistence remains largely unknown. The zebra finch, for example, sings a highly stereotyped song that is stable for years, but it is not known whether the precise neural patterns underlying song are stable or shift from day to day. Here we demonstrate that the population of projection neurons coding for song in the premotor nucleus, HVC, change from day to day. The most dramatic shifts occur over intervals of sleep. In contrast to the transient participation of excitatory neurons, ensemble measurements dominated by inhibition persist unchanged even after damage to downstream motor nerves.

Brain circuitry truly is amazing. The connectome is vital to the function of the brain, and slight perturbations can severely damage that function; however, the connectome can change over night even in the context of precise motor skills. It's a sort of Catch-22.
"Unix SMP" is not synonymous with a system threading interface -- processes give parallelism as well and predate the introduction of threading interfaces. The pthread interface came about in the 1990s.

The unix interface is broken with respect to threads in many places besides this. Signals. Forking. Problems abound because the concept was bolted on decades later.
It's flexible; presubmit tests can be configured per-directory. There's also an option to run all tests of packages that could be affected by a change based on the Blaze dependency graph.

If you're making changes to a package with tons of dependencies such as Guava, for a risky change you might want to run all affected tests, but for a minor change you might want to run just the standard unit tests. As a compromise, there's also an option to run a random sample of affected tests.
Actually, it wasn't a problem on Linux under the initial pthreads implementation. The API worked as you would expect for threads; the advisory locks were owned by individual threads. Eventually (probably after the change to NPTL and improved kernel support for threads) it was fixed to conform to the POSIX design whereby the locks are owned by the process.

If you do that (just rsync every day), what happens when your primary storage gets corrupted, and you rsync the corrupted copy over your USB backup?

Much better to do some sort of incremental or differential backup.

As someone else said, borg is a good way of doing this.

Given you're using cloud storage, you could use rclone to sync (one way, from cloud to local) to a local disk, and then use borg (on your local machine) to backup the local copies to a second drive.

Of course, it's best to have this rclone+borg setup in two locations (e.g. second location can be parents' house or kids' house) so that it's very very unlikely that the borg repo(s) get corrupted due to user error or software malfunction.

Capacity. Rail is pretty much unbeatable in terms of pure people per hour. The Tokaido Shinkansen carried 143M people in 2012; the busiest air route in the world, Seoul-Jeju, carried 11 million people in 2015.

From the (admittedly not great) source of CAHSR:

> Providing the equivalent new capacity on the state’s highways and airports would cost more than double
the investment required to develop a high-speed rail system between San Francisco and Los Angeles. If it
was even possible, that would mean building 4,300 new highway lane miles, 115 additional airport gates,
and four new airport runways at an estimated cost of $158 billion. [...] Caltrans estimates operations and maintenance costs on those new highway lanes at
$132.8 billion for over 50 years.
