The article is light on detail and somewhat ambiguous in its phrasing. "Can hit top speed in 6th" and "can only hit top speed in 6th" are not the same statement. If we assume the latter is what they really mean, there is still a second question of whether top speed is engine power limited or not.

If the car hits the rev limiter in 6th gear, it may well have enough power to go faster
with an ideally chosen 7th gear ratio. But, the included 7th gear ratio may be too tall, so that immediately upon shifting, the engine bogs down to low in its power curve and the car loses speed.

If the car hits top speed in the peak of its power curve but below the rev limiter, it is really out of power in 6th and no other gearing can help.

Beyond gearing and power, another potential top speed limit is due to aerodynamics and grip. A car can be traction limited at top speed, with the tires starting to slip instead of accelerating the car. But, being a high-end Porsche, it probably develops the down-force required for traction, thereby increasing aerodynamic drag and putting you back into the power-limited regime...
A Wikipedia article on the subject doesn't mean that it's not a strawman.

Indoor Cycling Platform Zwift Gets $120M for Esports Push
This was what was particularly interesting to me - that they went to the effort of writing a purely technical article on the particulars of how parts of their environment operate, and to publish it on their platform even when that's not the sort of content they're known for.
> Right now, "module mode" is mutually exclusive with "vendor mode" and I don't think there are any plans to change that.

This is not true. If you pass -mod=vendor, or place it in $GOFLAGS, go will build something outside of GOPATH, in module mode, using the vendor directory exclusively. I wish it was the default, but only because it encourages people to not use vendor directories (which is a bad habit), not because it can't be worked around easily.
We know the brain is doing something - if you don't want to call it computation, then you might as well call it magic.
I wonder if this is worse than living near a hog farm?
And? You think running your own database is going to have better uptime and scalability than something like Aurora?

If something like DB HA is important, I think it's much easier in AWS for a company with a smaller engineering department.
And I out-walked (well, tied) the Uber driver who cut me off at a crosswalk, to dropping off his fare across the street from my apartment a few blocks further up the hill, the other night. Contextually constrained anecdata like ours simply aren't relevant to the general point here.

For the vast majority of people in the parts of the world where using pod coffee machines is a meaningful thing to talk about, your commute is a driving or transit kind of thing, not walking or biking.
Depends on your genetics. If you don’t have high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or diabetes, and you’re clinically healthy, it’s fine.

Some people are ectomorphs. I have friends who are hardgainers, and believe me, it is a struggle for them to bulk. You have to eat a massive surplus of calories per day and most of that has to be protein.

Conversely, some people are endomorphs. It’s very difficult to cut (in my case). I need a big caloric deficit relative to others, and do cardio on my rest days in order to keep my body fat at a reasonable percentage.

Eugenics should be actively encouraged. We have the technology to make it so many will never have to suffer metabolic issues or chromosomal abnormalities.
I don't know on what planet that's supposed to be reassuring. They thought that sending FB messages within Spotify was such a whizbang feature that they gave Spotify unrestricted access to FB PMs? "But it's okay, they had to be signed in to FB"?

If they wanted to do this, couldn't they have done some plugin, where all interaction with FB features is within that plugin but inaccessible to to the broader app? Because otherwise, they have to effectively assume that this partner has gotten full access to the PMs. In crypto terms, a "total break" for that user.

I'm not even sure how this makes sense from a greedy megaglobocorp perspective. FB should be guarding that data tightly against other companies having it; their exclusive access is valuable.

Help?
It's a chicken-and-egg problem. You'd want to be among the last people on the road to adopt a lighter car, because being in a lighter car while other people are still in heavy cars makes it much more likely for you to get killed in the event of a collision.

I wonder if it will take legislation to solve.
Site Reliability Engineering Principals
Do we really have to go through this on this site...?

The point of the body positivity movement is literally crystal clear - to end shaming of people for the size of their body.

There's no "BS" to it. People's health is their own concern. Whether or not someone decides to change for a healthier lifestyle, there's nothing wrong with them at least loving their self throughout the process.

It's also really not that popular of a sentiment. Just ask any overweight person the things they hear on the regular.

Come on now.
Facebook does have alternatives, though. The website does nothing new, only serves it to you in one place. This used to be great when your feed was populated by content generated by people you actually know and care about in your personal life, but facebook pulled the rug out from under us when they gradually increased the amount of advertising pollution you had to sift through to get to any original thought.

Facebook has changed from that useful platform it once was to basically nonstop custom-tailored commercials, but the alternatives that it sought to replace have not and never will. Want to keep in touch with your relatives or friends? Directly engage people again. This can be as simple as an email thread, group text messaging, or an application like GroupMe. Need to plan events with your group? Throw it on a google calendar, who cares about who said they are going or who left your invite on read? Contacts? Your phone and address book on your computer. Keep your photos on something nonproprietary and therefore future proof; contrary to popular belief, no one will remember all the likes your pictures from Cabo got you in two weeks anyway.
I guess Keurig is different from the espresso capsule machines. My machine is a locally licensed K-Fee compatible device and there are both brewed coffee and espresso capsules available. The brewed coffee capsules have some kind of mechanism that prevents the usual espresso crema from forming (I suppose by depressurising the water flow).
Can't obsesses over the get enough sleep and exercise thing. Even more important working a sedentary office job mixed with a always alert/ops style job (some of us may be familiar with).

Realizing when to let a problem be organizational rather than a personal sleep deficit is also key in those positions. They'll say your a rock-star for trading your sleep and life for their bottom line. It's debt impounding interest and unless your luckier than a power-ball winner they won't be there when that payment is due.
Looks freaky, which is part of the UPS truck model. No used market, no willingness by the owner to buy used parts.

They could still make it too easy to vandalize on a whim, but AFA theft, it is probably better than owning a Toyota.
It's complicated. On one hand you don't want to foster mental health issues by constantly reinforcing to people that their weight is wrong and bad. On the other hand, you probably don't want to excuse a physiologically unhealthy condition by calling it "healthy".

I don't have an answer. I was fit until I hit university and now I'm struggling with my weight constantly. I'm committed to trying. Losing weight. Getting in a healthy habit. Relapsing. Dozens of times in a decade. But what I don't ever want to do is declare that I'm just healthy at any size and therefore throw in the towel.

The grim reaper doesn't give a crap what I think healthy means.
The data doesn't say it is. Sure you can improve on other axes, but weight is a leading indicator of mortality.

I wish you were right, it'd be great to be able to be obese and healthy, but that just isn't how it is.

How to Stop the Grinch from Stealing Continuous Delivery
I think it's easier to understand how this happens as an aggregate effect instead of "one engineer looked the other way".

As a hypothetical example:

- Some engineer implements the Like/Share buttons to push more users onto Facebook.

- Some engineer working on the ads product realizes that the Like button is a great Trojan horse to gather info about a user's browsing habits. Thinks of it in terms of analytics - "understanding who the users are." Harmless enough, but now we're over the ethical hurdle of collecting that data.

- Another engineer working on the ads product realizes that using this data to target ads could get advertisers to pay more for the same ads. Now you're just using data we already have, right?

- Facebook signs a bespoke advertising deal with some companies which includes access non-anonymous data. Facebook already collects and uses it and users sign it over in terms of service, so... what's the problem with using it in a way that's still advertising, just specific to some new partners?

None of the steps look that bad if you don't look too closely. No engineer had to think too hard about the specific ethical problems, but the aggregate effect is the travesty we have today. If any decision maker along this path stopped to really think about it and cared enough to stop it, this might not have happened, but market competition and general indifference meant nobody really took a long, hard look at this chain of events as it was happening.
That's what I meant by "after sentence/parole is completed"

But in general, many still believe that all felons are 100% restricted from ever voting again, which isn't accurate.
Yes -- that's the logic I was referring to.

However "safe injection sites" are anything but safe to the surrounding community, and may increase usage rates while only mildly decreasing fatality rates.

By keeping the sickly ones around, we're actually making the whole herd less healthy -- particularly when we enable them spreading their illness.

I think the medical professionals involved in "safe injection sites" should be seriously questioned about their medical ethics: they're failing to quarantine sick patients, and in treating them without that buffer, spreading the disease to the healthy population.

It's quack "medicine", just like HAES/HAMS.
>HAES is a reaction that says "What if we accepted that some people are just going to be fat, and then tried to come up with ways of being as healthy as possible given the circumstances". You may not like the packaging that HAES comes wrapped up in, and the most vocal proponents of it are often the least interested in making it palatable to you. But it's not BS.

If that was all it was saying, I'd be onboard.

But it also says things like "losing weight is literally impossible!", and "there is no evidence that obesity is unhealthy!" and then cherry-picks and misconstrues research so that it seems to give scientific backing to those conclusions, which are deeply harmful lies.
Hehehe. To be honest, I never got mnemonics myself. The original data seem far easier to remember.
I think that the primary reason is psychology. People wanna feel safe. I was flying to Gatwick from Bilbao (EuroPython) and I walked into the plane like into a train. I was stunned. No one has checked my bag, no scanners. What is the point of all this fuss with security in UK if I could just pick another airport as a my entry point?
This a thousand times ^^ running on single box (or 2 + load balancing if you want HA) on something like DO would be a reasonable start for 99% of startups.
We're already in a correction, in the macro sense, and we are entering a bear market. It's far too late for successful IPOs.
Let's reconsider this position using some other example:

Healthy on Heroin. HOH

HOH is not BS. Here's the deal. For lots and lots of people, being not addicted to heroin is very very hard. So hard, that even though there is enormous social pressure that they've had basically from ~18 years old to however old they are, they still haven't managed to become clean for any significant length of time.

HOH is a reaction that says "What if we accepted that some people are just going to be heroin addicts, and then tried to come up with ways of being as healthy as possible given the circumstances". You may not like the packaging that HOH comes wrapped up in, and the most vocal proponents of it are often the least interested in making it palatable to you. But it's not BS.

Consider that there is essentially nothing that medical science has for people who are chronically addicted to heroin except a detox. Shit is hard, yo.
You mean for Keurig like machines? Whatever happens with Keurig pods, there's a big difference in something that results in far inferior coffee. I've never played around with grinding my own and putting it in a refillable K-Cup pod, however.

My experience in Tuscany in the mid 2000's, was that random corner store espresso wasn't bad or was pretty good and rarely had any bitterness. So if the pods are filled and sealed correctly, there should be a way of getting a result far superior to what Keurig machines typically yield.
> You'd want to be among the last people on the road to adopt a lighter car, because being in a lighter car while other people are still in heavy cars makes it much more likely for you to get killed in the event of a collision.

There are many reasons to adopt a lighter car. Collision safety isn't one of them, but if that was your only concern you'd be insane to have a car at all.
I bought a libreCMC router [1] from Think Pinguin [2] years ago

This looks very cool, but do they sell a router with everything installed and ready to go? I don't see a "buy it now" button on their page.

I suspect there are a lot of people like me who are happy to buy this stuff but would like to have it ready to go, out of the box.
I don't know about FB, but Youtube videos can only be monetized if they're a minimum of 10 minutes long. That's why videos by 'Youtubers' can be so painful to watch; they are trying to stretch out 2 minutes of content into 10, and it's obvious.
The optionality is the problem. As a tool writer you have to handle a 10x jump in complexity.
Why do you think I'm fat? I'm not

> Irrelevant. It is not more healthy to be fat than it is to be not-fat because it's hard. Acceptance is not going to change a damn thing about the health risks inherent with being fat.

You are entirely missing the point. The issue is "given that I'm going to be fat, perhaps I should work with what I have, rather than beating myself up over the fact that I'm fat". Once you do that, you can start to look at what else you might change about your life that would improve your health.
"Such a shame that the "healthy at any size" BS is so popular these days. Literally killing people."

I don't wish ill health or discomfort on anyone but ones physical condition, appearance and personal health are one's own business.

Provided that you rise to a minimal standard of civic responsibility...

I owe it to you to be able to run for help. I owe it to you to be able to perform chest compressions for 3-5 minutes. I owe it to you to be able to carry or drag an adult a few hundred feet to safety. I owe it to you to be fit to join a group standing in physical defense of others.

If you can't do those things, you have something to answer for - regardless of the diet/fitness/health/appearance fads of the day.
Are you implying we kill/let die the "sickly"?

Seems extreme...
The good news is you don't have to use GCP! The very nice people over there have made them available for anyone -

https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/managed-bas...

So, to be clear, no matter what cloud you use, if you create a Dockerfile like the following:

FROM launcher.gcr.io/google/ubuntu16_04:latest
CMD echo "foobar"

This should work fine.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft on Azure.
> "Well, we should let them do heroin -- just try to make it as safe as possible"?

That's the goal of "Safe Injection Sites" that are being build in a few cities.
How well is your strategy of "blaming individuals" working out? Should we blame them even harder to see if that works more often?
Portugal legalized drugs and made them safer to use and... people were generally healthier and better off.[1]

People have unhealthy habits because of issues in their life. Poverty, abuse, mental health issues, lack of access to healthcare and healthy foods.

If you want people to get better you need to stop vilifying them, e.g fat shaming or war on drugs, and start accepting and helping them. Same for drugs, same for weight, hell, I’d say it’s the same for many “criminals” too.

That's great there is no one single company behind PostgreSQL in this sense. The model when many companies around PG do their own niche things based on PG, having their own business models, cooperating and collaborating to make PG better, as it is the base of their business, is rather fruitful and stable in the long term.
The light wouldn't need to be continuous. You would only need a fraction of a second to catch the blip. So assuming that, and that the most powerful nanopulse laser on earth is ~500 Terawatts, I'd think you could have a laser with a discernible pulse at about the 100 Terawatt level (This is an ass-pull number, but so is this entire excercise so who cares anyways :D )
Why not just assume good faith for a change? It's also more plausible: both the guy and the publisher would have had an interest in keeping this secret, giving the prospect far better chances than you're suggesting.

Their coverage today was also about as extensive as, say, 9/11. They could easily gotten ahead of it by releasing just one story, somewhere below the fold.

They also published at noon, their busiest time of the day (people checking the news during their break). On a Wednesday. Release it Friday or Saturday evening (i. e. "Take out the trash day") and far fewer people will see it.
thanks for the feedback ... the CSS must be much better now
Now what I would really like to see is some tool for keeping my GitHub repos in sync with my GitLab ones.

I did a one-time migration from GH to GL, but my GH account is still open, primarily because some projects are GH-only, meaning I might continue to make forks, contributions, etc.

Some way of making sure that I can periodically get all of those over to my GL would be nice.
"Not Invented Here"
Ask HN: Should/How to join CIA?
The Schulzzug was invented on Reddit.
You can be fit and still be fat though. I've been working out with a personal trainer for a couple of years now and I'm significantly healthier and stronger than I was before I started but I haven't lost the gut (yet).

If HAES is just an excuse to not try and be fit, it is going to kill people.
I don't think its healthy at any size as much as not shaming people for their body sizes, which are different issues. We can and should continue promoting healthy living habits while restraining from shaming those who aren't there yet.
As a former resident of Indiana, no, it's not. Different, yes, but nothing is quite as bad as a holding pond at a hog farm on a hot summer's day.
Ask HN: What is an AI government called?
The closest term I could find to describe an AI government is "Cyberocracy", but that doesn't seem to be its standard usage. Are there any other names that refer to this type of political system?
Obviously we should push for a healthier society, but that doesn't necessarily mean we should shame those who do not have a fit body size.

Don't forget that in many circumstances cooking and hobbies like working out and hiking and such can be privileged.

Someone working two jobs to get by probably doesn't have the funds for a gym membership or to go out hiking, and might not even have the mental energy to.

And then cooking healthy food is surprisingly expensive and time consuming when compared to processed foods.

So yes, absolutely, we should push for a healthier society, but at the same time we should accept that there are valid reasons someone might not be fit, and we shouldn't shame them for that. Instead, we should try to improve the situations that cause it as much as we can within our abilities.
Behind every successful neural network is a human brain. Neural networks are a tool, an advanced tool for sure, but still just a tool. If we are looking for AGI, and assuming the brain is an AGI, then there are still many differences to resolve. For example, back propagation has not been observed in nature. Nor has gradient descent. So the core mechanisms for learning in nature have still to reveal their secrets.
How is it fashion or wealth signaling if you're doing it at home, alone?

I'm sure it is for some people, but status signaling is baked into our monkey brains at such a deep level, I find it a bit silly to be something we throw shade at people for doing. But even if Joe the status-signaling pod coffee drinker is status signaling, he probably also appreciate the extra five minutes in the morning, or whatever.

Also, I've never tasted an instant coffee that didn't disappoint, usually profoundly. The pods are actual, real-time brewed coffee, with the same level of convenience.
IMO there is still a place for schema-less document databases. It's just that Postgres's JSON columns mean you can get the best of both worlds, which makes Mongo look weak by comparison.
This approach is very interesting to use kaninko inside kuberntes, but in what moments you copy the code of the application or provide the job, it would be interesting to make a kaniko operator with this feature
Safe injection sites are a socially responsible way of using resources.

It costs society money for ambulances to be running around to OD people.

Safe injection makes sense.

It doesn't promote heroin.

No one is saying: Heroin in a Healthy Manner.

They are simply saying: Let's spend a stitch in time. You don't even have to think of it as being kind, just rational.
"You" here being a stand-in for anyone reading this who is fat. It's not really relevant if you're fat.

And I'm not missing the point, you're making up some kind of generalization that doesn't A) fit the facts as we know them, and B) doesn't actually address the issue.

You're saying, "What else can I do to be healthy?" but you can/should do those things as well as work on losing weight. Giving up on losing weight doesn't lower your risk at all.

You can stop beating yourself up about being fat and keep trying to lose weight, as well. I think we can agree the moralizations aren't helping here, but you can't wish away the unhealthiness of obesity, like this stupid movement tries to do.
Not Invented Here (Syndrom)
Yep. Some people just don't think right. Their minds are broken.

The whole point of the 3-strikes laws is to acknowledge that rehabilitation is simply not possible with some people. Such people will forever be a hazard to society, and thus need to be separated from society.
I know. Dropping fuel on a fire and starting a fire are two different things, but it's fuel on that fire nonetheless.
No, people say these things. This is cherry-picking as well. Again, lots of fat-acceptance people aren't stupid, they have just decided to pick their battles.
