These sayings like "welcome to the real world", "there's a difference between theory and practice", thought-killers are just excuses for being lazy. Science is hard, really hard.

People who think doing a good job is too hard should get out of science instead of polluting the literature with their statistically significant results or whatever. Unfortunately its been the opposite happening and the people who cant handle it have been training the new people how to get away with half-assing it. This has been going on for a long time now, at least since the 1940s in some areas...

If the last decade had a TL; DR, it would be "technology offers second-rate solutions to social problems." If your soldiers lack the discipline to turn off their phones on command, you've got a bigger problem than RF leakage.
In this case, the cluster admin would be whoever is provisioning the cluster nodes. In Google Kubernetes Engine, the "Capacity" and "Allocatable" info shown on the nodes are different (I see some mem/cpu reserved for probably system stuff). This makes me think GKE probably subtracts node capacity from what's allocated for the system automatically.

P.S. I work at Google.
Huh, this sounds strongly related to target fixation. Look at your target and your body 'knows' how to go there (or throw there, or...)

The classic example is if you're riding a motorbike and you start worrying that you're going to run wide, or hit a tree, or whatever, so you start staring at the side of the road, or the tree... and that's where you go.
>I heard a company in Seattle (Starbucks?) had a policy of no visible tattoos.

The vast majority of companies had this policy up until about ~2005.

Unfortunately, fullwsj seems to take you to a redirect through Facebook, making it a pretty bad option when it comes to protecting your privacy.
At the cost of much decreased capacity, because a lot of the system moves pretty slowly; you cannot make the bands narrower than what it takes to stand with two feet, and likely wider for some safety.

Also, the amount of area and mass to move per passenger grows quite a lot, because most passengers will want to be on the fastest band, and all the gradual bands will be much less occupied.

The system can work reasonably when the moving bands are very lightweight, thin layers moved by a motor without many (or any) moving parts (the way maglev moves). It also should have absurdly low friction: unlike a train, it has a lot of contact surface.

To say nothing about turns.

Not that it's impossible, but technology-wise we're totally not there yet to make such a thing practical.
What is repeatability? 10% of the time? 50% of the time? 99% of the time? 99.9999% of the time?

Even medications made in high volume processes have rejected units (and sometimes, batches). Process drifted, machine failed, raw ingredients had some issue.

A scientific paper at the very early stage is meant to show that something is possible if the conditions are just right. It may be actually outside the capability of the lab to document (or measure, or even know) every variable that makes up these conditions. One of the reasons there is such a chasm between lab and practice is that as people dive in for deeper review and productization, they find the process is too finicky, the applicability too narrow, etc. But the scientific paper is the first step in this process of discovery.

That said, it's critical that authors document whatever they do know or have control over. Electronic publishing, tools like Github, etc, all make the barrier for disclosure much lower.

There is a difference between wholesale making things up and conveniently leaving out variables that alter analysis of your data. I do agree overall that this is not trivial and there are tremendous disincentives; that is evidentally not a good tactic to reproducing experiments in the general case.

I've had wildly different results. My shop wasn't large by any means but azure worked pretty much perfectly for us. The only issue we ever had was when changing the size on an azure swl db went from a 20 minute operation to taking up to an hour sometimes. Other than that it let us scale as we wanted and have the engineers duplicate environments with their local changes arbitrarily. Gave us a 400 dollar/month bill for something that would have taken a full devops to handle with 10 engineers
Presumably it would be context sensitive like most variables. Just because something is hard does not mean it is not worth doing.

Confirmation is inherently impossible, but we should be able to weed out bad papers with higher accuracy.
Wait, they thought they could replicate 50 papers at the cost of $25k each, and all in the span of one year?

The Expanse and Social Media: A New Paradigm
I have been working on reproducing computational biology papers from the cancer field lately. I am very frustrated. When the inputs and outputs are machine-readable data, there's no excuse for not making your work reproducible, in my opinion. Often the problem is plain laziness and disorganization.

One major problem is that there's not much real incentive to make your work reproducible. Money granting organizations favor researchers breaking new and exciting ground, not those rehashing an already published method. Publishers don't require reproducible methods, and reviewers don't have the time, desire, nor expertise to do an in-depth methods review.

Wet lab experiments are 1-2 orders of magnitude more expensive and difficult to reproduce, that's true, but we're not even getting the basics right!
perhaps suffer wasn't the right term in terms of subjective expression becsuse i wouldn't say I distinctly suffer per se, i was just more using the term "suffer" in the sense of "suffering a condition" implying having to live through it, or rather being subjected to it. as far as actual negative side effects and the sensation of suffering in the context of struggling though, I wouldn't say that applies so much except when it comes to visual art. I've never been a very visual person thanks to the aphantasia thing and I've always kind of wanted to be because I practice several other forms of art and creative expression, but it's like, with the analogy of a sculptor, I don't see the sculpture inside the block of marble; i don't manifest these complex visual and spatial ideas about a thing before I try to go into creating it, I more just rely on first principles and the synthesis thereof, but that being said there is a distinctly abstract quality to my visual art that isn't exactly intentional; my grasp of perspective is kinda bad as well. I'm sure I could overcome these limitations if i put my mind to it but I just haven't figured it out quite yet. im thinking i need to approach things more mathematically though

as far as what the aim was , I'm not sure exactly. just nice to know people who experience the same thing as me and then musing on it and rambling like i always do

I don’t know if I agree with the distinction. Both require you to simplify the actual appearance down to something that will be recognizable. For a bicycle, that’s just a few circles and lines, but skilled artists can draw recognizable faces with the same simple elements.

I can see (and, with the right tools, connect to) more than 25 WiFi APs from my office. The reason "there isn't enough room" in other bands is because we haven't really tried. Developing the tech is expensive, so investors will be sure there is an application before investing. In Wifi, a tiny sliver of "whoops why the hell did we leave that open oh yeah microwave ovens damn that's inconvenient" spectrum that no one who could get a meeting with FCC wanted, lots of wonderful and unpredicted things have happened. It seems we get another 802.11 letter every couple of years now. Those engineers don't need supervision from the feds. They wouldn't need supervision on a larger chunk of spectrum either.
Default bindings in spacemacs can get pretty long. E.g., the binding for `just-one-space` is `M-m x d <SPC>`.
Here's a fun fact about Azure Kubernetes:

1. Deploy your Linux service on k8s with redundant nodes

2. Create a k8s VolumeClaim and mount it on your nodes to give your application some long-lived or shared disk storage (i.e. for processing user-uploaded files).

3. Wait until the subtle bugs start to appear in your app.

Because persistent k8s volumes on Azure are provided by Azure disk storage service behind the scenes, lots of weird Windows-isms apply. And this goes beyond stuff like case insensitivity for file names.

For example, if a user tries to upload a file called "COM1" or "PRN1", it will blow up with a disk write error.

Yes, that's right, Azure is the only cloud vendor that is 100% compatible with enforcing DOS 1.0 reserved filenames - on your Linux server in 2018!
There's a huge difference between "bad science", and "it doesn't live up to the average HN reader's belief of how science works". Maybe the parent's comment is harsh, but the sentiment is, IMO, correct.

Science is a system, not a series of published recipes. Even the best, most-cited papers in scientific history, when taken in isolation, are often riddled with problems. No paper is perfect, but the process of science, over time, validates the papers that are worth validating. Experiments are rarely reproduced exactly, but rather, reproduced under a thousand different conditions, thus proving that the result is robust over time.

I've often felt that these efforts to mass-reproduce scientific literature are misguided. Anyone who has worked in a lab knows that most papers are difficult to reproduce for any number of reasons, and that even if you have a perfect description of materials and methods, plenty of correct and valid results are difficult to reproduce, just because lab work is hard and messy. It's not fair to fling accusations of impropriety simply because an experiment doesn't work in your hands.

I've been following Dynamicland since its inception, and the work is really cool. But it seems like all of the interface work is rather two-dimensional (i.e. using paper). Isn't the underlying theory that this is all based on that humans are better suited at working with three-dimensional objects (like doorknobs and cutlery and what not)?

I think it would be really cool if the Dynamicland UI technology (projection and object recognition) could work with e.g. 3d printed objects, especially if they could be embedded with motion tracking sensors in the case that your hand occludes the computer vision trackers. Is anyone working on that sort of thing?
Is this with the managed-disk volume (which IIRC is formatted ext4) or with `AzureFiles`, which is essentially SMB/CIFS?
correct, it should be provisioned by k8s provider (AKS in this case) and is what GKE is doing https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/clu...

note, it also needs to match node configuration (how cgroups are setup specifically) so I doubt this works well on EKS which is BYO node. Maybe it's the issue with AKS too, I don't know enough about how it works...

I disagree with your characterisation of the problem and the proposed solution.

Cancer research is not an edifice constructed on foundational results. It is not like physics in this regard, where for example, accurate calculation of the gravitational constant is vitally important, and over time repeat measurements are generally more precise but not wildly different, or do not dispute the importance of the gravitational constant.

Take one of the papers they reproduced - Transcriptional amplification in tumor cells with elevated c-Myc. This is an interesting result conducted in highly contrived experimental conditions. Nobody is going to base their career, a drug development program, treat a patient or even start a PhD based on this result alone. I say this is a translational cancer scientist and medical oncologist. The contribution of this paper is to our knowledge of the biology of Myc, which has a multitude of actions which are context dependent. Myc is studied in a variety of different ways using many different methods. If this paper were being repeated today, the technologies and techniques would be quite different. The result of this paper is not plugged into the central dogma of cancer biology, setting us down an erroneous path for the next thousand years. So to return to my original question, what have we learned in trying to replicate this study, that we didn't already know? The money would have been better spent on orthogonal validation/extension of the result using modern techniques - another name for this is 'science'. The replication crisis suggests that this routine extension/validation process is somehow less important than going back and repeating the original experiment, which is I think a complete misunderstanding. You also seem to be saying that we should ask researchers to document in excruciating detail all experimental conditions such that a pastry chef or meteorologist could walk into a lab and successfully reproduce the experiment - this is an impossibly high bar to set for scientists who are already working under very difficult conditions, and is not the solution.

I don't think Azure ever uses dynamic memory for VMs - if I SSH into a VM I see the full allocation of whatever size it was supposed to be out of the bat.

I think this has to do with cgroups and ensuring the OOM killer doesn't target what is essentially the `init` process of a Kubernetes cluster - the docker daemon or kubelet.
Even with clearances there might be something between Point A and Point B that you want to compartmentalize.
yeah that made sense from the start, thanks for the info!
Well, an appeal to common belief has never held much water.

In any case, there are more things to measure with effects of technology than poverty, which is far from an objective measure and implies many things about the values of the person measuring it. You need to compare and contrast multiple views of the world to meaningfully conclude one is better. Steven Pinker has only made a readable argument for one perspective. Merely accepting that argument will not necessarily provide you with a better model. This viewpoint is inevaluable by itself; a pleasant bit of secular faith.

Anyway, it’s tone deaf because children are also mining our computer components, working in effectively slave labor factories, recycling our technology at great cost to their communities, likely because the power dynamics between nations are so skewed to wealth. This “progress” is paid for in the blood of children.... so, by producing such a simple view of the universe, you are implying your values and marginal life improvement completely justify the pain people go through producing your phone, sneakers, tv, all of which are designed to rapidly deteriorate and continue the cycle.

At a quick glance it seems like you're adopting the Active Objects model, is that correct? What are your thoughts on protocol safety? Methods being static mean that we can't guarantee protocol adherence, but perhaps that's overkill?

There's a lot of interesting work going on in this field so to save you some research I suggest looking through at least the related works section of my thesis (see profile).
Authentication or authorization? If it's the latter, I'd model it on what AD/LDAP do: folders/OUs for hierarchy, groups for crossing hierarchy boundaries, then users and securables as objects in the directory. Then on top of that, be able to assign permissions such that node (OU/group/user) -> can-do-action -> other node. Then child nodes inherit permissions as well. We're using something similar in a system I worked on and sys admins and end users are pretty comfortable with it since it used the same paradigms they're used to. You can also use the same thing for multi-tenancy by just creating OUs for tenants.

For authentication, whatever supports ADFS, SAML and/or OIDC. It's a big plus when they can use existing credentials or SSO into your system from theirs.
