"Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control", by Errol Morris (and also probably other things by him).
4-way weirdly interleaved story of a lion tamer, a scientist studying the naked mole rat, a topiary gardener, and a roboticist.

It looks like it's title has been changed from when I first read it.
Cerebras, SambaNova, a few "stealth mode" ones still.
I'm not talking about every family having their own little "plot" on their own little roof. I'm talking about large greenhouses covering large buildings.
So, how do I make sure my connection isn't MITM-ed?
There is no server host key anywhere to compare. No CA certificate support. Doesn't look like ed25519 is supported either.

Somehow people don't use self-signed certificates all over the web but for sftp it's "fine" apparently.
Wow, this is exciting, and something that could push Tesla to do better, if they come to production. Imho as a tesla owner for years, they have been sitting on their laurels and not moving the car much - the s is barely different from 2012 (adding awd, more battery, more cameras). I think they haven't increased the range because they don't need to and they are preserving battery capacity for the model 3. But this car could be good enough to move tesla forward.

This and the Porsche Taycan are the first vehicles that could push to improve. the taycan seems like it might not be faster than an s and might not have better range (hopefully it will be slightly better than a tesla). The i-pace is fine, does not push Tesla to do much though. The audi e-tron won't even be at dealers.

So many competitors came and went without making an impact.
I am generally advocating for being an informed user of open source software. As for something more specific, I would echo the two suggestions from the original author in one of his Github comments:

>1. Pay the maintainers!! Only depend on modules that you know are definitely maintained!

>2. When you depend on something, you should take part in maintaining it.

You can't expect someone to maintain your code for you without you contributing anything in return and if something does go wrong in that situation you have no one to blame but yourself.

Personally I felt people on GitHub were being way too harsh. He built something, moved on, and gave it away. He had no way of knowing the person who took it over would use it maliciously.

Seriously, some of the comments blew my mind. Because he built it, he had a responsibility to maintain it forever, and was responsible for everything that happened with that code forever?

Maybe calling free software "Open Source" was a mistake. If something is "free", then you have to accept you may get what you paid for. If you are using somebody else's code, is it their responsibility to look after it years after they have moved on, or your responsibility to make sure it's not full of bugs or malicious code.
Right, which is why you should never see such things as an “investment”, but rather as a collectors item.
Can anyone speculate on how this would be used by Amazon, if they are actually testing it?
Code that defines what your servers/services are, what they should contain, where they should be put, how they should interact.

E.g. a simple plan in Terraform gives you the possibility to say how many of what instances should be up in given zones.

Edit: every piece of tool used here is used for infrastructure, controlling them is infrastructure code: (it's massive!) https://landscape.cncf.io/format=landscape
It seems like the best people that my employers have hired are not just "better" but "different" than most other employees. Unfortunately, the criteria and methods that most firms use are designed to reduce the risk of a bad hire, instead of maximizing the odds of hiring someone amazing.
Still doesn't work? It takes 300-400 sq ft of greenhouse per person to feed them. An apt house roof could feed how many? 20? 50? And 2000 people may live in that building. Make the building taller, now 3000 people life there, and the greenhouse is no larger. That's what 'not scaling' looks like.

We have commercial farming because it takes that to feed us.

I much like u/modeless had a similar experience. I personally really like board games and would host or facilitate weekly board game nights.

To be more specific:

- Do you find/make friends ("campers"?) differently?

No, I just have space and time during the week where people pass through or remain for a season of life (or more). I still make acquaintances doing other activities in my life which grow into friendships at varied depths.

- Would they consider you a friend, or are these relationships more broad with less depth?

I would say all of the above, it depends on what you're defining as a friend. If everyone that isn't a stranger is your friend. Yes, I imagine so. I personally would say that I have made several friends who bring in people who are friends of friends, so an acquaintance to me at least initially. I also have the occasional person whom I invite from another part of my life that I don't feel stranger-danger about being in my home.

- How does maintaining the fire relate to maintaining friendships?

If they're present, then it's a bonding activity. If they're not, it's something that they've bonded over.

- Are you just a support person handing out favors with little expectation of reciprocity?

I'm not the guy that pumps your gas, if that is what you're asking.

I'm a decent sized reseller and stockx is amazing.

First off all my sneakers are legit and purchased straight from the company (adidas from adidas.com, nikes from nike.com, etc). I tried setting up a website to sell my sneakers and I didn't fare well as nobody really trusts some random site.

Stockx legitimized my selling, taking care of that entire issue. I get less money than I would through direct sales but I have zero legwork. I automated the process so as soon as I receive product, it's posted on stockx for sale. When sold, I simply print the shipping label and take it to the UPS store.

I know that there will always be issues with legitimacy but if they continue making it easier for legit sellers to move product, we'll crowd out the scammers who don't have nearly as much volume. Authenticating a pair of shoes shouldn't take that long. When releases happen, stockx gets a large number of the same exact shoe. They can compare one sellers to anothers and see if there are differences. If I send in 10 pairs of Yeezys that are legit, they'll be able to spot the 1 pair someone sent in that isn't the same.

Also in regards to Mr. Lubers statement about restocking. It's less common than you think and very rare sneakers are often never restocked at the level necessary to destroy demand. In fact, in some instances a company will put out a rare sneaker years later (Jordan Brand calls these "retros") and unfortunately the quality has slipped over the years. So retros that are worse quality remakes of older models can raise the valaue of originals. I usually sell unsold pairs before restocks happen as it brings the value of them back to really profitable levels.
After constructing the two rays at an angle of approximately 60 degrees, the author goes about constructing an actual (approximate) equilateral triangle by drawing two perpendiculars. That might be useful if one needs a triangle of precisely that size, but given a pair of compasses (or a straightedge with two markings), one gets any ≈equilateral triangle by just marking the two intersection points of any circle around the origin with the two rays. I believe this method doesn't give anything less precise than the method outlined in the post.

Given that the idea was to make the construction simple and small, I'm surprised the compasses method wasn't chosen.
I feel bad for the guy, he's not wrong, that's for sure, but a recent example of "doing this right" is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18525025 / https://github.com/FineUploader/fine-uploader/issues/2073 (FineUploader is shutting down)

At least, it seems that way to me. If I were ever in a burdensome positioning of maintaining a package I didn't want to maintain, I'd go for the explicit archive/sunset route. At that point if someone wants to fork and re-package, they can do it, but it won't mess with anything directly downstream immediately.

As others have pointed out, the weight loss of any caloric deficit diet is more or less identical. The stuff that's impressive about intermittent fasting is the other benefits we've seen in (still early!) studies. Insulin resistance, blood glucose, cholesterol, and overall metabolic profile, obesity, and diabetes risk. Most of this comes from rodent or animal studies. The precise definition of "intermittent" varies from study to study, and there are a lot of other variables going on. But it is legitimately interesting science.

But afaik no one says it's particularly better at weight loss than other kinds of caloric restriction.
I had a good friend who just had open "hang out" time every day after work in his garage. There was a group of about 30 friends who might stop by any time between 5 and 8 PM, have a beer, hang out and BS. Sometimes it was just Paul and 1 or 2 others, sometimes 15 people showed up, sometimes Paul wasn't even there, but the garage was always open (if you had the code). I used to go almost every day between work and home, it's how i made about half the friends I have now. It was also where weekend plans got made and many a hunting/fishing/camping trip got planned there.

That's over now and I really miss it. Buddy had some health problems and ended up with an overwhelming opiate addiction and just stopped hanging out with anyone. Some of the friends still get together for a weekend poker game but it's not the same. It was so cool to have a place you could go hang out after work where you knew everyone was fun to be around and they liked having you around. You never know who would be there or what the conversation would be but it was always a good time.

I've tried to get the same thing going myself, but have never been successful. I'm not sure how you get that started. Once it's going, it's self-sustaining, but you have to reach a critical mass of participants and has to occur really regularly, even daily. I think maybe it takes a very specific kind of person to be the host.

Anyway, that's what the OP's campfire analogy made me think of. I really miss it...

Bitcoin price and its marginal cost of production: supporting evidence
Infrastructure as code is starting to be a big thing. Lets say you want to provision a new AWS EC2 instance, you could go into the UI and click around to do it, but at a large company, that's probably not the best idea. That's not really scaleable and leaves a lot of room for human error.

You could instead use something like terraform, which allows you to write code specifying your requirements and then run that code. This allows other devs to review your code, takes a lot of human error out of the equation, and is much more sustainable.

When he says infrastructure code, I think he means code that keeps the infrastructure running.

Some examples that come to m would be terraform files, dockerfiles/docker-compose files, jenkinsfiles, bash scripts, etc. Basically, code that keeps the servers running.

AT&T wasn't created by the government, yet there was a government intervention into the market, led by nationalisation.

"
Around 1917, the idea that everyone in the country should have phone service and that the government should promote that began being discussed in government. AT&T agreed, saying in a 1917 annual report: "A combination of like activities under proper control and regulation, the service to the public would be better, more progressive, efficient, and economical than competitive systems." In 1918 the federal government nationalized the entire telecommunications industry, with national security as the stated intent. Rates were regulated so that customers in large cities would pay higher rates to subsidize those in more remote areas. Vail was appointed to manage the telephone system with AT&T being paid a percentage of the telephone revenues.

> instead evaluate them based on compliance.

Or rather, evaluate people for which diet they're most likely to comply with.

One of the flaws in the personal development ecosystem is that because everyone is selling their own "one weird trick" there's no incentive to build good assessment programs.

It's not diet, but probably the only top author with a solid assessment is Gretchen Rubin and her habit tendencies. All the tendencies lead back to her advice, but at least they acknowledge that not all people are the same.
It could be IoT. One of the biggest challenges of IoT is connectivity. It's pretty hard to build reliable IoT implementations with 99% uptime on top of WiFi or BLE (and even harder when relying on broadband cellular networks).

There are many critical systems that in order to take advantage of connected technologies require dedicated or special protocols that can provide speed, reliability, high security, low latency, low power consumption, low data rates.
> Either everyone's the same and you have sports that exclude the vast majority of women

Most sport, at any serious level, exclude the vast majority of people regardless of gender, gender identity, or biological sex, and sports with a significant sex-associated performance difference offer substantially fewer and poorer paying opportunities for the lower-performing sex whether or not they are sex-segregated.

What does fixed legal gender buy you there?

It's code that provisions or configures VMs, containers, cloud resources like RDS, etc. Usually this is accomplished using tools like Terraform, Ansible playbooks, SaltStack, Kubernetes, and the many other similar tools.
It's just git so there's not much sophistication, nor is one service "better" than another in that regard.

Github/Gitlab are still far more useful as they are more than just repos. The issues, PRs, wikis, and general management features are what most projects need. Azure DevOps is probably the best competitor from the clouds.

I'm never sure how to think about this kind of "numbers only" analysis.

On one hand, I've seen these kinds of analyses carried out to explain that people who worry about exogenous terrorists are "irrational" because other things (e.g. second hand smoke, or a mistake in a prescription medication, or a traffic accident) are more likely to kill an innocent person than such terrorists.

On the other hand, people have a value system and a system of priorities. Some kinds of risks just seem unacceptably horrifying to people while other kinds of risks seem tolerable.

Is a simple numerical analysis enough to label a line of thinking "irrational" or is it reasonable to make "irrationality" a function of arithmetical division and people's values?
Ask HN: As a programmer, how do you know if you're a good one or not?
I always want to be a better version of myself, but it's unclear how to quantify my quality. In sporting, there're many stats about athletes to look at. In academia, you can look at some indirect indexes about your research quality. But as a programmer at work, I often receive feedbacks from 1 or 2 persons at most. It's easy to think that I'm good enough, when the truth may be not.

So, as a programmer, how do you quantify or estimate how good you are?

Thank you,

Oh let me check this! Sorry about that.
You are the first person I've encountered who preferred cloudformation over terraform. CF has far worse ability to cope with out-of-band changes or problems in general (in contrast to TF, which can usually just `apply` things back into compliance), and somehow gets feature support slower than TF in spite of being 1st party.
