> Why wouldn't you want an Abrams? It does all the things

Because you haven't fought the kind of war that heavy armor is useful (particularly on an effectiveness to logistical burden analysis) for in decades, and don't expect to in the foreseeable future.
This is different, but with some minor modifications this sounds a lot like Scuttlebutt. Have you tried Patchwork?

> you all pay some nominal membership fee (could you fund servers and developers on $5/year/user?)

People individually run "pubs", which are servers (with hosting costs), but every user also acts as a potential server, caching and proxying encrypted communications on behalf of other users, which acts as a sort of "cost", though it's not directly monetary.

> software would then be developed to fit the agreed-upon needs of the community, without dark patterns or behavior modification projects, openly, and with some kind of community governance

Apart from the central protocol, niche needs are met by various clients—e.g. there is a dedicated chess client for users who just want to play chess over the social network.

> need not be exclusive of technical leadership

While the SSBC is in no way dictatorial and even often jokey, I think their clients demonstrate exceptional technical leadership. The strategy of having a protocol with many clients usually leads to having many disparate clients of low quality. On the contrary, most users use Patchwork, the main stable SSBC-maintained client; it's the most "Facebook-ish" of the clients and is very intuitive.

And in my experience, there aren't many good bosses out there.

I always envy the stories of some corporate engineers who had excellent mentors and bosses, but sadly there aren't many of them.
Heya!

I’m Armin, co-creator of MakerWidget! It’s a little widget you can put on your project pages to show who you are, where to find you and what you did before.

My partner Melanie and I wanted to make ourselves more visible on our side project pages, so we tried to elaborate on Pieter Levels idea of a maker badge!

You can easily set up your widget on makerwidget.com for free and grab your embed code! It supports multiple makers, custom link lists and a project gallery. Being a team of two makers ourselves, we focused a lot on flexibility!

I built the whole thing with Laravel and Vue.js and learned so much on the way. Mostly about the fact that an iFrame can be transparent !? - In the next steps, im going to try to optimise the Request-count - if someone here can give me tips on what else I can (and should) do tech-wise please tell me!

I ship-streamed the development of this widget on Twitch, and will also be live today. You can watch me on shipstreams.com! (And yes, I’m low-key trying to make „ship-streaming“ a thing!) :)

Cheers,
Armin

Haha, sorry! I'll take the blame for the spelling. I should have googled. Have also passed on the 17m/cm typo. Good catch. A 17m pot would indeed be implausible.

As for the other one, I have no idea. The name comes from the grower apparently. I'm fairly certain you get pretty much what you see, although you may be right about the cultivar.

No worries at all - I'll pass on the corrections. And you're right. Both the founders are lovely, care very much about the product (and sourcing interesting and harder to find - in the UK especially - plants), and the mental and general health benefits of having a life full of plants. But the team and company is small and learning as they grow (if you pardon the pun!). Feedback is very important and appreciated.
> Are you saying that the contribution of CO₂ levels to warming isn't established, or that the human role in increasing CO₂ levels isn't established? Because both of those are very well established

Established by who and where is their funding coming from? Would you trust a survey that says "Windows is better than Linux" if it was funded by Microsoft? That's why where the funding comes from is key.

> is only true in the sense where “explicit proof” is restricted to pure abstract domains like math and not applicable to any domain of material fact; to the extent that it is possible to “prove” anything about what would happen in counterfactual alternative conditions in the material universe, though, this has been proven.

If you want hundreds of billions of dollars to be invested in something which hasn't got clear proof of value then that's simply not enough. You need to prove the Return On Investment, regardless of field. It all comes down to money.

> Robots will be able to do the jobs for $15 hour sooner than they'll be able to for $7 an hour

This doesn't make sense. Increasing workers wages doesn't change the rate a which automation technology becomes available. The bottle neck is the availablity of capable automation systems which is unrelated to workers wages.

Even if there was a technology available that cost $15 an hour and worker wages were $7, increasing the workers wages doesn't decrease cost of the technology.

> R trades runtime speed for dev speed

This claim is made about a lot of things, Ruby, Python etc. I think the important point is it that there is no trade going on. It just that these things are all slower / less efficient than they need to be.
No it was cool :)

Yeah, most of incidental complexity vanished away once I start using clojure. Lisp is pretty cool in that there is very little to learn in way of syntax and ceremony.

If you are new to functional programming, I suggest understanding reduce well. Understanding it forms the basis of higher order functions. Also half of clojure core is implemented with reduce.

Also, I highly suggest watching the talk “simple made easy”. One hour of time spent there pays off in many many months/years
While it is targeted at bezos I think the name is more of a joke if anything. After all even in the document that you linked it lists several other countries.

With that said I don’t think Bezos’ move is based on Bernie. In the current political climate there is no way a bill like that would ever pass. I would guess this is based off of public pressure but I’m not 100% sure what this move if for.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I am afraid mankind is too poor and too stupid for this to happen in the nearest future (~100 years).

We can't seem to resolve basic issues here on Earth, like healthcare and education. We spend trillions on pointless wars while large portion of the planet population has no access to basics.

Sorry for stating the obvious.
It’s like chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is great! It’s simple, it does what you want. There’s nothing wrong with chocolate cake.

But you’ve already got 250 chocolate cakes. Want another fifty chocolate cakes? No? Why not!? There’s nothing wrong with chocolate cake!!!

You want bicycles and books? Pffft. You get chocolate cake! Congress has just ordered another 50 cakes for you this week, with a bill for 300 in the pipeline.

What is wrong? Why are you complaining!? You don’t like chocolate cake!? There’s nothing wrong with chocolate cake!
I prefer them because they make grepping for SQL code easier. Also syntax coloring inside strings is not common.
this is how the rich turn the middle class against the poor, by attaching shame to public goods. healthcare should not be means tested, but if you can actually pass the test then by all means do it. you are not better than anyone else.
I think the sentiment might be driven by breathless and hollow pop-science like Michio Kaku books.

God, please, agreed, can we please stop using the term "fake news" for anything we disagree with and leave it for stories that are actually factually untrue?

There is nothing in this story that is false. It's fine to point out that the media likes to focus on outrage-inducing features, but that doesn't make the news fake.
I have had the same experience with dplyr.

In the event that the data doesn't fit into memory, it's better to preprocess w/ SQL at the data-store level. There hasn't been a case where I'd need to feed massive amounts of data into a ggplot2 visualization unaggregated.
> the AI is not bias against women per se

I think I'd make the claim a bit less strongly -- we don't know if there is statistical bias or non-statistical/"gender bias" in the data; both are possible based on what we know.

However exploring the statistical bias possibility, the simple way this could happen is if the data have properties like:

1. For whatever reason, fewer women than men choose to be software engineers
2. For whatever reason, the women that choose to be software engineers are better at it than men

(Note I'm just using hypotheticals here, I'm not making claims about the truth of these, or whether it's gender bias that they are true/false).

Depending on how you've set up your classifier, you could effectively be asking "does this candidate look like software engineers I've already hired"? If so, under the first case, you'd correctly answer "not much". Or you could easily go the other way and "bias" towards women if you fit your model to the top 1% where women are better than men, in our hypothetical dataset.

This would result in "gender bias" in the results, but there's no statistical bias here, since your algorithm is correctly answering the question you asked. It's probably the wrong question though!

Figuring out if/when you're asking the right question is quite difficult, and as the sibling comment rightly pointed out, sometimes (e.g. insurance pricing) the strictly "correct" result (from a business/financial point of view) ends up being considered discriminatory under the moral lens.

This is why we can't just wash our hands of these problems and let a machine do it; until we're comfortable that machines understand our morality, they will do that part wrong.
The best part about that Apollo test flight is that it was intended to be a test of the escape system, but it was not intended to involve the rocket exploding underneath the capsule. It ended up being an even better test of the escape system than was planed.

There have been some other, less consequential manned launch failures.

Apollo 12 was struck by lightning during ascent, and only some quick thinking saved the mission.

Apollo 13 suffered extreme vibration in the second stage center engine that nearly tore the rocket apart. (This is unrelated to the more famous problem Apollo 13 experienced later in the mission.) Fortunately the vibrations messed with sensors which caused the engine to shut down, and the launch continued on the remaining four.

STS-51-F lost an engine a few minutes after launch. It was still able to make orbit on the remaining engines, but ended up in a lower orbit than planned.
Or just print the numbers, and let the reader get whatever they want out of that...

If you knock a glass bottle off of a table, it makes a terrible mess.
The original plan for Crew Dragon was to have it land with rockets like a rocket should, instead of with parachutes. They also wanted to have a design that could also land on Mars. Safety first NASA didn't allow that plan. Not sure if rockets are still powerful enough to do a powered landing coming from orbit. I hope so and that tourists will have the option of returning that way even if NASA astronauts don't.

Other estimates in the thread (and Glassdoor) for annual TC are way off. L6 at G is a big range - 350-700k. Hard to say how much the guy made, because it depends on how much stock he kept vs. sold throughout the years, so I'll do a range. Let's assume he worked from 2010-2018:

Average TC: $450k - $850k

Post-tax: $270k - $470k

Annual expenses: $60k - $120k

Savings: $1.2m - $3.3m

Obviously this is a gross simplification, since it ignores other investments and makes pretty broad assumptions about their expenses, but it should give you the broad strokes.
The problem is the whole system is designed from the perspective of the lawyers rather than the customers.

If a company overcharged me $10 for a product, then as part of the settlement I should get at least $10. The company should also have to pay punitive damages, some of which could be used to pay the lawyers.

Instead we get a system where the total damage amount is often less than the company's profits on their illegal activity. Then lawyers take their fee, and then the remainder is divvied up and everyone in the class to get $1.57.

It is an absurd system: companies get off way easier than they should and customers get screwed even when they win.

I don't know of modern desktop/laptop CPUs that truly disable unused cores, but I do know modern parts will often reduce power usage/disable parts of a core/underclock cores to reduce heat output from those components and then boost clock speeds on other cores.

Keyword alerts are interesting, and it would be pretty easy and relatively cheap to do.

I've already built a little app with a Telegram interface that allows you to subscribe to users' comments and posts. Every x minutes you get a message from the bot with the post titles or comment bodies for the users you follow.

I'm curious if it might be useful to expand my tool to be able to track keywords, and if there'd be enough interest for me to make it public-facing on some server.

But for now it's proven surprisingly useful. I check HN less and just click on the links that arrive in my (muted) channel (I got here because I followed you, actually!)

The biggest annoyance right now is that I regularly get an update that will contain a number of comments by a number of users I follow, but all in the same thread. it's a bit annoying that I have to process a bunch extra requests to get to the root post (at least with the official API?).
Look, it sucks to find out there are thousands of devices, but none with the specific attributes you want. (I'm currently looking for a phone.)

XML/XSD did devolve into many fights. I will not argue against that. The main outcome was the wide adoption of JSON.

What XML/XSD did give was ridiculously easy to implement autocomplete in any xml editor that was decently featured. And it gave people a ton of rope to try and over specify things.

Jsonschema seems poised to repeat the rope mistake. That is, I'm of the mind that the anti-fragile practices of schemaless JSON have actually been a boon to its success. Trying to solidify things back to a schema gives me little reason to think it will be better this time around.

I definitely agree it would be good to have bad decisions over turned. However, I will also not adopt a technology that is a constant grind to retread the same ground over and over. At least, not if I can avoid it. This puts me in the position of not trusting the likes of committees that seem to think throwing out decisions of a scant few years ago are a good idea.

The cynic in me thinks places do it so that they can just stay faster than everyone they are assigning migration tasks to.

My assertion for "pretty easy to read and works pretty well for validation" was not broadly applied to everyone. In particular, it failed at cross vendor efforts. However, the original claim was merely the vague "people", and I stand by that being just as true for XML as it was for JSON. With similar levels of complexity regarding different bugs in parsers and whatnot.

Okay, the tabs thing we haven't been able to fix yet, but if you want to change the console colors real quick, you can use ColorTool:

Also, it you want a tab-like experience, you could always try tmux. It's a linux commandline tool that gives you tabs, panes, and all sorts of other goodies, and as of 1809 you can even use cmd.exe within it.
>In essence the defendant shouldn't be rewarded for the prosecutorial misconduct.

no, that's not what was being argued. The decision uses the established precedent that defendant is to be "rewarded" in case of "outrageous or conscience shocking" prosecutorial misconduct. Kamala didn't argue against that. What, in the words of the judges listening to her, she argued is:

" On appeal, however, the People dispute that
Murray’s misconduct was outrageous or conscience shocking in a constitutional sense, as
it was not physically brutal.

...

According to the People, this language stands for the proposition that misconduct must be
“brutal” in order to shock the conscience and support a sanction of dismissal.
"

May be you think that the judges misunderstood the arguments presented by the "People" ? :)
>This is the fake news culture

OK slow the heck down here. I'm not convinced that what you're describing is a new phenomenon or just a natural outcome of the fact that the news needs ad revenue and thrives on clicks/views.

There was a point in time where "fake news" meant news that was completely invented and had no grounding in reality at all with the express purpose of misinforming people. I think it's really important that we don't (continue to) conflate this concept with the concept of clickbait.

> The problem isn’t the fluff we read online. The problem is that when you go long periods without reading novels, it’s harder to pick up a novel and enjoy it. Reading fluff online doesn’t make you stop reading novels, though, any more than watching TV makes you stop reading novels. It’s entirely possible to do both, with the caveat that everyone’s time is limited. But there’s nothing about browsing online that intrinsically makes it hard to read novels.

First, the issue isn't that what's being read is "fluff", but rather that online reading promotes that "grafted, spasmodic" style of attention.

Second, you're completely wrong that the media formats we consume don't affect the other media formats we consume.
Now working on a game after 11 years as a Staff SWE at Google. I left for a complex mix of reasons, largely because I can and because I wanted to work on my own stuff, also not least because I don't have a good feeling about the digital world the big companies are creating. I wrote just a bit about this on my blog on leaving.
This is the first time I've heard of it and this is awesome and amazing, and I'm so glad it is free. Thank you for making this available as a great tool!

Per what, barrel of oil?

If that’s what you’re quoting (I’ve not seen any recent attempts to calculate the costs of oil extraction), each barrel has ~1.7 MWh of energy. By way of comparison, PV solar records are around $0.02/kWh = $34/BOE.
One thing that helps is that Western Mass doesn't have to be remote. If you're in Savoy, yeah, you'd better like nature more than people. But the Springfield metro area has pretty cheap rent and is still 600k people with colleges and companies and a great food and music scene up in Northhampton. It's also within tolerable driving or train distance of Boston if there's something you really want to get to.

Working remote can definitely be isolating anywhere, but I think if I were going to go back to it I'd prefer a midsize city to either rural or dense urban settings. Rural settings are obvious just small, and that's made harder by being isolated while you work. But huge cities tend to feel anonymous - if you're not actively engaging and meeting people it's easy to get forgotten or even miss out on finding out about things you'd like to see and do. It may just be a function of my tastes and hobbies, but somewhere Springfield-sized makes it a bit easier to find a stable group of people outside work to spend time with.

More broadly, there's a lot to be said for college towns and non-huge cities relying on safe anchors like 'meds and eds' or corporate research. Boulder's probably too big and pricy these days, but Northampton, Rochester NY, Flagstaff, Ithaca, and the Research Triangle are all inviting. Heck, even Fargo ND was shockingly inviting last time I came through - I'd rather live there than Cleveland.

Unless you are pushing validation of your data to an overly simplistic language specification, you will have to validate your data in your code. Once you are doing that, you might as well get used to the fact that you can't trust any data at rest. Even if you supposedly wrote it.

To that end, I fully agree that all fields should be "optional" for the protocol layer.
