When I was a child, I read about Gauss, Abel, and a bunch of people who were good. It killed my braggadocio in the egg.

When I did Judo, I've always sought to fight the best ones (bigger, aggressive, technical). In football too, I always went for the best technical players who can humiliate anyone. The price to pay was to have people laugh when you're thrown in the air.

In my experience, arrogance can come from truly being great at something, but I mostly witnessed it in people who were lacking and trying to protect their ego. The usual advice is to let go of the ego, but maybe instead of "killing your ego", you can "redirect it". Instead of trying to protect your image of competence, you can wire your ego and feed it on the idea that you're diligent. If you tie your ego to the idea you're diligent, you will try to stick to that image of a diligent person.

A diligent person seeks people with different angles to a topic to know everything there is to know about it. You trick yourself into the pursuit of a truth, instead of making it a conflict between two persons.

Arrogance also manifests itself in sarcasm. In a technical dialogue, an arrogant person will often use sarcasm. This is lame. One way to limit this is to think about what you're about to say really hard and weight the amount of information it contains. Is it a snarky remark about how Windows sucks? Is it something you're repeating after reading a blog post? Do you really master what you're talking about? Are you pissing on a language quirk or bottleneck you haven't even reached? Is that really a technically sound argument? How much do I know about this?

One way that helps is to imagine you're not having the argument with the person you're having it with, but the world's most renowned expert on the subject who forgot more about pretty much any topic than you'll probably know. Chances are you won't present the same arguments because you know they are weak and you know that because you know you don't know as much as you think (hopefully). This also helps avoid being a douche and a bully (would I act the same way with a guy who can break me in half? If not, I'm probably being gratuitously disrespectful). Would I act this way with someone who knows more than me? This question will shift the attitude and make it the same: one of curiosity, one of a seeker. It will allow learning and teaching at the same time, with the same ease.
One of the benefits I find with coming back from trips to Europe returning to the US East Coast is there's about a week where I'm tending to get up by 5AM or so. I slip back to a normal schedule but I really feel good getting a bunch of work done by 9AM or so. Can't really keep it up sans jetlag though.
Amazon plants fake packages in delivery trucks as undercover ploy
Sometimes there is no reason. That might just be symptoms of gradual neuronal failure. It’s unlikely that the sensation of dying significantly increases or decreases the likelihood of passing on one’s lineage, except maybe imparting a peaceful impression on family around you.
It works for the output of kubectl get all, not kubectl get po unfortunately. [This is because without the resource name as a prefix, there’s no general regexes that will work for everyone’s situation] As a hack I sometimes end up doing kubectl get all | grep ‘pod/‘, which is a little inelegant. You can add your own regexes (see the readme of tmux-fingers, you do @fingers-pattern-0 your_regex) and then reload the config

Realistically I suppose it’s only marginally faster than kubectl get po -o name and then manually copying.

For any project I work on frequently I set up aliases that wrap it anyway. As you already know kubectl doesn’t allow regex matching so I just do something like: kubectl delete pod “$(kubectl get po -l app=MY_APP_SELECTOR)”, etc. naturally your deploy needs granular selectors otherwise you need to further pipe to grep or awk
This is one reason why GNU is so important. Some people might think they're zealots about free software, but if you have to trust someone with your software, wouldn't you rather trust someone who has built their reputation on respecting privacy and freedom? It goes beyond the debate about software licensing.

What Kind of Tabs Weirdo Are You?
I learned about Ctrl + D pretty early on in my software career, probably around 2009 or so, and have been using it 99.99% of the time since then[1]. It's both consistent and easy, so I really can't see any benefit of not using it.

[1] The 0.01% of the time was when I was testing out using Windows for software dev. I don't remember but I don't think Ctrl + D works there.

That would help. Many sites now offer formatting tools or a "help" link or expando. HN elects not to. Some of this may be part of its intentional asthetic. But more proximate hep might, er, help.
Ugh, you are an idiot. I feel sorry for your friends, assuming you have any (which is a stretch bet, to be sure). You have totally missed the point. This had nothing to do with the C programming language you moronic twit.
I wasn't trying to make an analogy to this specific situation. You're right that it's not the same. I was just pointing out things I've noticed about the broader free speech discussion.
Anyone using psql should be familiar with bash. Anyone using bash should be familiar with readline. Anyone familiar with readline should instantly recognize psql as being a readline input.

It seems like a reasonable set of conclusions to draw, which makes ctrl-d indeed the most obvious thing to try.
AI Company Accused of Using Humans to Fake Its AI

I was one of the top students of my graduating high school class. I turned down a spiffy scholarship and the opportunity to attend one of the top two unis in my home state.

I did so in part because teachers always held me up as proof that they were excellent teachers and other students could do as well as me if they just tried when there was zero basis for this idea. They were claiming credit for something they didn't do while making me a target of hatred by all the other students.

I'm a social creature and I had no real friends and classmates treated me terribly. My arrogance was the only defence I had in an abusive social setting.

For me, the antidote is an environment of mutual respect where the strengths of individuals are valued and no one is treated badly. Unfortunately, I can only fully achieve this at home. However, even reducing the level of toxic BS elsewhere helps.

Best.
It could be social. Imagine the family surrounding the deathbed of an elder, dying relative. It's probably the case that the relative is observed closely while 'crossing over,' and depending on the relatives' interpretation of what's happening to their dying loved one, they may be left at peace or in turmoil. So maybe DMT has to do with creating the desired appearance to communicate to loved ones at the deathbed.

As a student of WW2, millions of Japanese lives were saved by the atomic bombs:

1) Japanese military leaders were planning to continue fighting until no citizens were left: "even if the Japanese people die, their spirit will live on."

Surrender rates in previous island battles were on the order of 1% (ie. 99% killed or seriously injured.)

2) the Japanese people were facing starvation had the war continued. The early surrender helped with the rebuilding effort and prevented the nation from literally starving to death.

3) American leaders chose to bomb secondary cities, rather than completely destroy Tokyo, a capital city

4) had Russia invaded Japan, they typically would de-industrialize the enemy by transporting power plants and other facilities back to Russia

5) Japan actually refused to surrender to the USA. The emperor's broadcast never used the word, and the leader who signed the surrender document was approx. #10 in the leadership hierarchy.

The emperor was a serious amateur microbiologist and realized what an atomic bomb was, so did not need convincing that the war was lost.

(He was against starting the war with China and the USA and said so, but faced assassination and constitutional issues if he made a serious effort to change sentiment.)

Riemann Hypothesis Proved
Michael Atiyah claims he has a proof for the Riemann hypothesis.
> Some people expect that fighting algorithmic racism is going to come with some sort of trade-off.

Um, that's because we know it comes with trade-offs once you have the most optimal algorithm. See for instance https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.02413.pdf. If your best performing algorithm is "racist" (for some definition of racist") you are mathematically forced to make tradeoffs if you want to eliminate that "racism".

Of course, defining "racism" itself gets extremely tricky because many definitions of racism are mutually contradictory (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.05807.pdf).

If it works for you, then great, but here's an article from almost 10 years ago where Apple discourages defragging[1]. There's a bunch of other articles with more specifics showing that advanced defrag features from the 90s were built into the OS years ago[2].

Well we don't really understand the nature of "feelings", so the answers are going to be very speculative. But a better question might be: why do we feel contentment at all? Why isn't it all just fear and rage all the time, with certain things lessening the fear and rage, like eating, pooping, and copulating? After all, if we avoid death and reproduce, the genes get passed on - evolution doesn't care about feelings. This entirely sidesteps discussion about the epiphenomenalality of conscious experience and how/whether it can be "causal" in any sense.
And?

The problem here is that we implicitly (and sometimes not so implicitly) subsidize the infrastructure for cars and the moment you try to start making that subsidy explicit everybody loses their minds.

The primary issue, as people have pointed out, is that gasoline taxes tend to have a regressive effect and hit the poorest the worst. To make matters even more complicated, the poorest also tend to have the oldest cars that pollute the worst--so letting them completely off the hook isn't really a valid solution, either.
Given that the data showed a massive range by name within the same race and a much smaller skew between different races, couldn't this data be said to support that conclusion?

Disclaimer: I don't know enough about the data or the algorithm to determine this mathematically but I think worth pointing out. Would have been nice to see some statistical analysis instead of just assuming the charts speak for themselves.
"But, I have a perhaps-unreasonable amount of confidence in my understanding of regulator-regulatee dynamics."

I also lived and worked in DC for 10 years :-)

I'm just not gonna bet or gamble here[1]. I expressed an opinion. I stand by that opinion. I will note you twisted it a little bit. I also gave what FanDuel's strongest argument will be, and I expect if they do win, it will be on those grounds.

But i do think you are very mistaken about at least one thing:

"I further think FanDuel competently understood their legal environment before making their statements defending the non-payment to the press. (If their experts knew they'd eventually have to pay anyway, why take the PR hit?)"

Because there is no meaningful PR hit - gamblers are not going to stop using it either way.

I also strongly doubt they "completely understood their legal environment" before making that statement, because pretty much no companies fanduel's size do so. You are suggesting a level of organized legal process that is uncommon. :)

[1] There are also too many paths where fanduel loses but the bettor does not get anything meaningful, or the question doesn't get decided because the person runs out of money or their lawyer sucks.

I think you're reading this statement as more general than it's meant to be? I interpret it as meaning that there is not necessarily any tradeoff, as there wasn't in this case. "You can have data" -> there exists.
The Firefox Monitor is not a telemetry study. It's this:

https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/06/25/testing-f...

This extension is listed under about:debugging.. the same place where you'll see other features like Pocket, Form Autofill, and Firefox Screenshots.

It's a new Firefox feature. It's not alarming, and it's not Firefox installing things without your permission.

Complaining about this is literally complaining that the new version you just installed has a new feature. If a new version didn't change anything, they wouldn't need a new version.
I hope I am not too cynical. I think this type of thinking leads to confusing the symptoms for the underlying problem.

Ask yourself, are we complicit in human rights abuse? We all pay our taxes right? Where do our taxes go? Dictators propped up globally. How many dissidents were tortured and executed with the aid of our intelligence agencies? What about the ongoing Israeli human rights abuses -- illegal occupation and genocide are somehow less than important than Chinese speech moderation?

We are so inconsistent. If we actually care about progress then we wouldn't get distracted by each instance of a problem. These posts, our comments... they are us trying to make ourselves feel better by spinning lies. Attack the underlying problems. Our problems are social problems, legal problems.

Advocate. Spread awareness. Run for office. Volunteer. Tackle the problem.
I don’t think this follows. I’ve been at multiple prompts that look like readline but aren’t.

Maybe the human (or generally any conscious nervous system) existence is such an anxious experience that finally realizing it was all a trip that is ending is such a giant relief that the imminent death feels like a warm home? Not to sound too bleak but it would explain the contentment
The data is correct and a-biased. If you ask 100 people around you, they are, on average, more likely to have had a negative burrito experience, than a negative pasta experience.

The learning algorithms are crude and dumb. They will simply fit to any data you provide it (you choose how many Mexican restaurant food reviews you train your sentiment classifier on). Then they count how many times the words "mexican" and "man" and "mexican man" appear with a positive or negative label in the train set. And objectively try to give the best probability for that.

Current sentiment analyzers are not AI: no common sense, no understanding, no reasoning. We are just rushing to replace looking a job candidate in the eyes with running some 1960's logistic regression over their cover letter. Let's hope for their sake they did not manage a Mexican restaurant.
You're wrong. I think the bike shed should be blue.

;)
Eh, they snuck in a hidden extension to specifically send telemetry for people who don't want to send telemetry, and expressed publicly that that was the intent behind the extension.

I'm not really assuming much malice there. I am assuming malice in how they'll use the data, but given their past track record of removing features based on telemetry data, I don't think I'm making too big a leap.
I'm a Chinese citizen, and I used to comment on this kind of things to merely offer my perspective.

But I realized as long as my perspective didn't fit the narrative of Western media or general view by westerners, it gets downvoted (just like comments in this trend).

I understand that HN allows downvotes for disagreeing, and I think that causes self-censorship. But as an individual concerned about the amount of karma, I just choose to self-censor myself.
In a terminal in cooked mode, Ctrl+D sends EOF. Literally any program that reads from stdin and doesn't do something special to avoid it will handle Ctrl+D.

That's the point about why it's worth it to learn: It's universal to all terminal programs, even if the author of the program didn't know about it.

>With extensive tooling can come lack of agility, which can be its own death sentence.

What do you mean by this? Without tooling you can get stuck in the muck doing everything by hand. Tools enable you to do more with less, so I don't really understand what you are getting at here.

This thread reminds me of the nature of political discourse at the moment, for example with regards to political correctness. The loudest and most popular voices are pushing simple fixes to intractable problems, and more sensible voices mentioning the truth of the matter are buried.
Hardly anyone sets out to do something malicious. They do something that they didn't think anyone would object to. Even if it's the same class of thing that they've been slapped for in the past, this time is different.

The effect of malice is frequently separate from the intent of malice.

Well, that may supply an alternative to those barred from the US internet, cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18043141

It would be fun to watch that develop.
Absolutely. There were Apple ][ clones (the Pravetz series) that were fairly common in the 1980s. Yes, I know that for example, the Soviet Union had its Agat, but nobody I know who grew up in the Soviet Union had seen an Agat, while Pravetz computers were relatively common in Bulgaria.
>we will measure Telemetry Coverage, which is the percentage of all Firefox users who report telemetry. The Telemetry Coverage measurement will sample a portion of all Firefox clients and report whether telemetry is enabled. This measurement will not include a client identifier and will not be associated with our standard telemetry.

Telemetry for telemetry. Nice.
Irrelevant. If you don't want telemetry and you opt-out, don't send telemetry data!
No GP is correct. Control-D sends an EOF (end of file) which indicates there is no more input.

This isn’t bike shedding at all as there’s a specific character code to indicate you’ve finished with a program and it’s standardized on all sane pieces of software. Heck it even works with things that aren’t specifically programmed to “exit” as they’ll simply end the stream on receipt.
Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of outline.com before, but seems like a useful service.

"He" being the operative word. Third parties aren't doing their own custom distributions. This becomes a big deal if you can't convince the original creator that something needs fixed.

If you've got a big enough vision that you lock horns with Linus Torvalds on the Linux kernel, you fork it and release anyway. If you have a different vision than Kanye West for the album, good luck getting your version through the courts.
Telltale Games lays off majority of staff
Here's the essential business logic specification for HFS+ automatic de-fragmentation, for the curious.

It's actually quite a clever spec, because it takes advantage of existing efforts to read fragmented files to perform the majority of the de-fragmentation process.

I'm not sure if this spec applies to APFS or for SSDs. (With SSDs you're generally better off not defragmenting most of the time, because the performance penalty is far lower, but the write amplification has consequences.)

——————

When a file is opened on an HFS+ volume, the following conditions are tested:

If the file is less than 20 MB in size
If the file is not already busy
If the file is not read-only
If the file has more than eight extents
If the system has been up for at least 3 mins

If all of the above conditions are satisfied, the file is relocated—it is defragmented on-the-fly.

http://osxbook.com/software/hfsdebug/fragmentation.html

This isn't really about alternatives. Bike shedding could be about exit-vs-quit or similar. Ctrl-d exists a layer above though. In a typical terminal / readline, your process will get an EOF / HUP signal which is treated like a clean-exit in most interactive cases and config-reload in many servers.

Just like ctrl-c generates INT and ctrl-z generates STP. This is worth learning.
Uhhh, personally I'd prefer that UEFI stay away from the OS particulars. But anyway, afaik Windows' boot code had about the same feature―at least it certainly did in regard to the chipset drivers, the result being IIRC that the OS wouldn't boot if you moved the partitions a bit.
Thank you. I'm loving the work. The best part is seeing my Mom's reaction every time someone writes a review ( https://nanagram.co/#happy).
Does “a dark black alley” have a sentiment at all?

I would argue that it’s pragmatically associated with bad things (e.g., being mugged, overcrowded areas) but it’s not intrinsically bad (or good) itself.
Control+C is used to kill a process with the signal SIGINT, and can be intercepted by a program so it can clean its self up before exiting, or not exit at all. ... Ctrl+D means end of file. It has no effect if the program isn't reading input from the terminal. Ctrl+C means “interrupt”, i.e., stop what you're doing.
This is another talk which pairs well with it (values vs. objects, and how to split your code up accordingly): https://academy.realm.io/posts/andy-matuschak-controlling-co...
Sure, it's flawed, but that's the point of the post: that assumptions about your dataset can lead to unexpected forms of bias.

> Do you really need to assign a sentiment to very noun known to mankind?

No, but it seems like a simple (and seemingly innocuous) mistake that many programmers can and will make.
