It's still largely arbitrary. I'm pushing back against the general notion that standard Unix-y command line tools are some shining example of consistency. Most of it is just us confusing familiarity for consistency.
Awesome examples!

I think all jokes are surprising, but not all surprising things are jokes ("you have lung cancer" is surprising but not very hilarious). Surprise seems more like a side effect of comedy, instead of an explanation. The trick is to figure out what, aside from surprise, creates comedy. What kind of properties apply to all the funny things, and only to funny things.

There's a "benign violation" theory - they say that things are funny when they're surprising but harmless, but that's also not true. Plot twists, scientific inventions, new insightful ideas - there are plenty of surprising harmless things that aren't funny.
The article is not great but the Buster Keaton scenes the author links to are great, especially the second one.

The phone companies don’t benefit, because they are nearing a situation where people stop communicating with phone numbers. Probably there is nothing that can reverse that at this point, the telephone has fewer features and is less secure than alternatives.

I agree that this was a bit flippant (though accurate), but if you took the time to look through my posting history over the last nearly five years, you'd learn why I made this account in the first place: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7004159

Because I was literally harassed out of a previous job for discussing my views here on HN. I am an actual medical professional; discussions of this industry on HN are full of people with zero knowledge or experience hypothesizing on the topic; you regularly fail to censure them, but censure the people who are involved and are able to conduct substantive discourse.

The problem is that people adopting Bitcoin activates at least two defensive behavior triggers in other people (1. devaluation of the fiat currencies they are holding, 2. jealousy towards early adopters getting rich for doing nothing).

As such, there are few people that are really neutral on cryptocurrencies and you get the kind of scam talk we see in this thread as popular consensus.
Assuming you couldn’t get that job any other way, sure. However, even most Googlers would think that is excessive (even if they did it themselves, most of them would not admit to it).

haha. San Francisco is awful. That title is misleading and uninformed. Grew up there. Got a degree in math and comp sci and returned to work. Lasted a year before being so disgusted by the self quarantining of the rich.

It’s a tech distopia. I’m not even talking about having to step over human feces 3 times per block. I’m talking about the utter lack of ethics and values of the people who have descended like rabid vultures to manipulate the tech utopian thinkers and then run with the money. The damage is done and we’re just now starting to see the impact it’s had on the people that haven’t been taken along for the ride to the top. That place is a lost cause.

I guess it would have been cool to be there during the Alan Kay xerox parc days. Probably intoxicatingly inspiring environment. But now... I hope it burns. I’ll show up to repair and rebuild.

It’s not purely a question of spending. There are qualitative differences as well. No US ally has even an approximation of the US nuclear deterrent or the US Navy. Partially as a consequence of this, no US ally can match the quantity, quality, or versatility of American air power.

Yea, it's funny how the fear of missing out makes people put up with so much bullshit in their lives. I don't use Facebook, I don't use Twitter, I don't deal with robocalls. I am not missing out on anything other than the high price of not missing out.
Learning Azure Dev Ops is always good as it makes it possible to publish your own Ideas in a scalable environment that is affordable. Microsoft Learn is pretty neat as they will take you through the basics for free, just take your time. You also get nifty badges from Microsoft for completing different learning modules. They are very much making it look like a nice page you can attach to a resume.
I do the same thing. Where I think Apple could improve is by helping you understand that you can do it this way. I accidentally figured this out a while back.
As far as I know it's just xterm on desktop. It's fascinating that we have this standard that allows us to build programming environments like notebooks -- without resorting to layering hacks on hacks to make it work on web -- practically crossplatform yet we don't make use of it.

At repl.it we've been toying around with adding sixel support for xterm.js and we have a prototype up and people in our community are already building things on it.

Here are a few examples:

- gnuplot: https://gnuplot.basicer.repl.run/rob

- gif in terminal (python): https://repl.it/talk/share/SPINNING-GLOBE-GIF-WITH-SIXEL-NEW...

I use an app called Should I Answer? It uses crowd sourcing to collect robocalling numbers. My phone doesn't even ring for most of the robocalls now, and the ones it misses, I can add to their database so others won't get them.
It's effectively the same as opting out of these robo calls, there's a FTC list for both and yet it has zero effect. I also get 99.9% junk mail, so it's easy to lose actual mail in the pile.

There's a forum where the community talks about capture setup https://forum.mapillary.com/c/contributing-and-equipment

It's varies a bit depending if you're capturing via car, bicycle, foot or any other mode of transport, then again based on your budget and how much effort you want to put into your setup.

My personal recommendation for learning to give better presentations is to just do it. Start your own little tech convention and do as much public speaking as possible. You get the "bystander effect" at social events when someone has to say something to a crowd but nobody wants to do it, so step up and get some practice! People don't judge you for errors nearly as much as you think.

As for written communication, Markel's Technical Communication was used in my English class in college and I remember getting a lot out of following its directions. As you might expect, it's very well written. Of course, I had the advantage of classroom instruction, but I think it would be helpful even for self-study.

"fMRI testing at the Medical University of South Carolina tilted the scales toward precisely that explanation — an underactive amygdala, not a negligent mother — by confirming that Honnold’s fear circuitry really does fire with less vigor than most."

There is an underlying presumption here that US stock market and investors live in the US, or are otherwise correlated with US demographics. Historically this is not true. International investors make up a sizeable part of the investors, and within the US investors the very wealthy are a disproportionate part of the market.

I don't see a problem with law enforcement keeping their eyes on individuals who talk openly about committing heinous acts of violence, considering in the case of the current alt-right, this talk has boiled over to into vicious act of terror and murder (Portland, Charlottesville, etc).

That free speech allows people who advocate crimes to be watched hardly by itself is hardly argument that this isn't really free speech.

I mean, to some extent, I think it's OK fascist have some venue for their expression. That having such a venue should benefit them rather than being an opportunity for them to hoist themselves on the own petard really doesn't seem like something they can demand.
We really have to be careful here, because many CS programs have or are planning CS courses specifically designed around LeetCode problems as a way of giving their students a leg up in the interview process. If these kinds of interviews become more widespread (and there are a lot of companies trying to copy google here), this will only intensify and possibly begin push out other CS courses with more useful content.

That kind of future would be very dystopian for the field.

I use an app called Should I Answer? which has that feature. It also uses a crowd-sourced database to know what numbers to block, if you want that instead.
Did you choose the specific term "decision-making roles" with intent?

Decision making is one aspect of being an executive not the whole thing.
It's like a bizarre network of bad pirate streams, when one goes down someone starts another. Kodi plugins in this context generally just refer to pirate streams.

Torrents: downloading is a lot easier than simultaneous live streaming to many people; this is why many streaming sites moved from something like RTMP to HLS/DASH/etc - instead of a persistent connected stream, they just upload small video files
It can be demonstrated that GANs learn to model certain image contents with separate input variables like the presence of certain objects or 3D rotations [0] all by themselves, so there is definitely more going on than simply learning to paint some image patches at certain locations and smoothly interpolating them. An image patch reveals itself directly in the training data, so the image patch could simply be stored in the network weights, but a 3D rotation or the presence of a certain class of objects cannot be learned by simply copying image patches into the weights. A 3D rotation requires at the very least a computation of foreshortening, occlusion perhaps based on a depth map. An object detector requires at the very least a feature hierarchy, perhaps binding computations that relate different object parts to the whole object.

Neural networks basically learn to implement nearly arbitrary computations (up to a certain circuit depth) to produce the desired output, so you can also think of deep learning as program mining of a certain program space that is reachable by the adaptive functions in a neural network. Stephen Wolfram has written about that in his blog and talked about it in one of his podcasts. So it's basically magic much like evolution, and it will probably destroy us because it's simply too powerful.

Hence my point that the issue is not DRM.

The Welfare State Is Committing Suicide by Artificial Intelligence
Savers are often finding ways to make inertia work for them.
Every penny in my 401k was directed there by my employer. I never saw it in the paycheck, I don't think of it as something I have available to spend. Others might use a bank account they don't have a debit card attached to. Or for debts, might set up an automatic transfer to eventually pay it off, and bury their credit cards in a filing cabinet somewhere.

Some people find luck with budgets. Don't tyrannize yourself - it's OK to carve out some of your budget for buying things you don't need - but you can balance that with letting yourself save some. And budgets don't have to be 100% set in stone - when my friend wanted some replacement computer parts, he cut back on his food budget (by cooking more instead of eating out) for a bit to "afford" it.

I realize this is easier said than done, though!

Even if you never plan to retire, having a rainy day fund / a long runway will help take the stress out of layoffs, and give you more time to find the job you want vs the job you need to pay the bills, etc. - hopefully helping ensure you keep enjoying working in your current industry :)
Yeah, but those files are known as "hidden files". In other words, it is the creators of those files who purposefully prepend them with a . to hide them from ls and other tools.

One can argue whether this "starting with a . means hidden" is a hack or not, but I think it's manifestly different than not showing particular file types based on size or something like that.

I agree just not showing pdf files by default because they render slowly is a design mistake.
Between my cell and landline, I get 5 to 10 "robocalls" a day. Recently I started getting them in the wee hours of the morning. They outnumber legitimate calls about 30:1. Very many show up with a Caller ID with a spoofed local area-code and prefix.
Most of us aren't concerned with whether anything would kill off C++. That certainly won't happen any time soon, given the inertia. But some of us would like to be able to use a language that lets you do low level, high performing goodness, without having to use C++. So it is nice that there are some more viable options now.
Our industry is behind when it comes to understanding race and racism. Proof: Slack's mistake this last week.

Not true at all. One could safely be a long-time heroin addict with a supply with guaranteed purity and strength. Not a recommended lifestyle, but it's true.
Browsers don't look at the file extension, they use Content-Type [0].

To share code between the browser and server you have to update the server config to set the Content-Type header to text/javascript when serving .mjs files.

According to the WHATWG HTML spec [1]:

> Servers should use text/javascript for JavaScript resources. Servers should not use other JavaScript MIME types for JavaScript resources, and must not use non-JavaScript MIME types.

Although I'll admit I was surprised to see them suggesting you use text/javascript instead of application/javascript. I've been using application/javascript for years, since I don't have to support old versions of Internet Explorer.

I do not see bitcoin as failing. If anyone can exchange bitcoin back to local currencies, then it works pretty well for value transfer. I can buy bitcoin now for $50, transfer it, and then someone exchanges bitcoin back to $50 minus the fees. Just like any other payment processor.

If one wants to save up or speculate, well, thats a different matter.
> I'm saying that I think the value proposition for the virtual kubelet is tenuous, not multi-tenancy as a whole.

I was tying them together because I see the former as an effective strategy to achieve the latter.

> Calling it a "multi-tenancy retrofit" seems a bit FUD-y to me. Just because there are challenges doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

What should I call it? It's being added retrospectively to a single-tenant design. The changes have to be correctly threaded through everything, through codebases managed by dozens of working groups, without breaking thousands of existing extensions, tools and applications.

What I expect will happen instead is that it will be better than it is now -- which is a win -- but that no complete, mandatorily-secure, top-to-bottom security boundaries will be created inside single clusters. We will still be left with lots of leaks.

Our industry is replete with folks trying to wedge the business of hypervisors and supervisors into applications and services. It's possible but always leaks and breaks and diverts enormous development bandwidth away from the core thing that is meant to be achieved. Kernels and hypervisors have privileged hardware access and decades of hardening that can't be truly replicated at the application or service level and which when imitated need to be designed in from the beginning.

I don't see that as FUD. I think it just is what it is. But I appreciate that my thinking is line with the doctrine Pivotal advances to its customers, which differs from the doctrine Red Hat and others advance (One Cluster To Rule Them All).

For those who are not aware, Jose Valim (the creator of Elixir) live-streamed all his solutions to this years Advent of Code on Twitch (found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/346878345?collection=YDM6eKu6bh...). I found this to be very informative and enjoyable. It is definitely worth checking out regardless of your proficiency in Elixir.

It's also facinating that programs that generate text output do so in a format that's well over 40 years old.

What if our CLI programs could output HTML or JSON depending on whether they are piped or printed.

Both standards are not good for this, but is VT100 really that great?
> Go’s spec isn’t formally proven, for example, so you could make a similar claim: how can people know that it all works without a proof?

I have to disagree, because a sailboat is a pure manifestation of the model that must be understood to understand how this vehicle works: a foil held at a fixed angle in a moving fluid, constrained to move only along a straight line at a fixed angle wrt. the motion of the fluid.

Understanding this vehicle requires heaping more complexity (the spiral motion) onto that same model, so in fact I think a sailboat is a great teaching aid here, as it's a clean waypoint on the journey to full understanding. Sailboats also exist, and have non-controversially demonstrated the surprising ability to sail with a downwind VMG higher than the environmental wind speed, which will help skeptics to engage with the problem.
Patreon would absolutely have rolled all this back already if it was up to them. It isn’t. The MasterCard Visa cartel can destroy their business tomorrow without recourse or appeal, just like they can Stripe or PayPal. When wannabe Patreon competitor SubscribeStar took on Carl Benjamin all eight of their payment processors dropped them. This is not a Patreon thing.
