The US defeated the Iraqi military in three weeks. While an incredibly costly endeavor to begin with, the ~15 years of occupation and guerilla warfare since have immensely eclipsed the formal war against Sadam's government.
> Complexity is the enemy in software engineering

For decades, I've been saying this a bit differently: "Software engineering is primarily an exercise in complexity management".
I find it very ironic that AWS is behind this. Whenever I buy books from Amazon I am amazed at their broken search engines. Just search a topic on Amazon and then try to sort the results. LOL.
I believe you. I’m just saying it’s not as uncommon as parent made it out to be.
Yep. That's a big one. It also helps to avoid flying over areas with widespread use of surface-to-air missiles.
It will still sell your attention
Natural selection is definitely still at play. For e.g. look at the parents who've decided against vaccinating their children which is now leading to the re-emergence of many diseases and viruses we've already eradicated. That's natural selection. It comes in many forms. Humans will never defeat nature, and we shouldn't be so arrogant to think we can. We are still subject to climate, weather events, and our own stupidity. At least we can complain about it on [insert internet forum/social media of choice here].
Sway is the reason why i got the bravery to fully embrace tiling wm even though i switch to i3wm at the end due to some bugs in 0.x version. With i3wm they both make tiling wm so much more accessible to linux noob like myself, the ability to combine tiling, tabbed and stacked windows feels so much powerful for productivity boost. Congrats for the 1.0 release, given news about so much improvement over 0.x version, I might looking to switch back :)

I wonder how you can get people to do it - maybe it's from an argument of likelihood and a finite probability of someone letting it out sooner or later?

Everything is about degree. Nobody in my office has ever called 911 due to something like this. I have no idea where this rates in comparison to other warehouses. But also it's hard to measure because maybe Amazon calls 911 to report this where other companies wouldn't -- similar to Apple calling an ambulance over people walking into glass doors just to protect themselves.
It should work great. If your laptop has a limited number of CRTCs you may want to use this to deal with enabling/disabling the outputs you want to use as necessary:

It was tangentially implied in the "YC Updates" thread from a few days ago, where it mentioned Sam "stepping away" to "focus on open.ai".
Elon Musk seams like a better visionary than economist. I like the person in general because he's being sincere about his actions, but the market these days is very competitive and I guess it makes him hard to realize the ideas he has in mind. I recall he said he liked reading Ian Banks, a sci-fi author that wrote a very innovative literature with unique view of the future. I can sense the same when listening to Musks interviews.

> Simplicity isn't a VM you have to maintain, update, and secure. Its a fully managed PaaS.

I disagree with this if you actually intend it in the blanket form you present it as. A fully managed PaaS can be the simplest solution overall, but it can also be overly complex.

It all depends on what you're trying to do and what your needs actually are.
I also run a big monitor (39" 4k TV), and tiling is great. I can fit 3-6 terminal windows / text editor windows side-by-side, depending on the fonts used. Sometimes I put windows with larger fonts at the periphery, and a couple of small-font windows in the middle, so that I can easily look to the side for reference while focusing on a column of smaller text in the middle. This works beautifully with Kakoune, where I have multiple windows attached to the same editor session. I can paste from my large-font reference windows into my small-font working windows without having to figure out where my mouse pointer is.
100%. That actually made me mad. I took that time off to talk to you, so you better be there. I may have even spent time preparing to talk to you, so not only have you canceled and thrown out my day, you've wasted my time.

>Or, if it's important, say, "You know what, let's meet right now."

This would become the messaging for every meeting, at which point you've now limited all issues to being category 1 issues and can expect a meeting on anything at any time. It's like how during UAT when you tell the client you're only going to deal with critical issues, suddenly they are all critical.
DUIs can be a lot more serious than just a few hundred dollar fine. They can result in the loss of your license (and consequently your ability to work), possibly several months in jail, and bar you for life from some countries (Canada won't let you visit if you've gotten a DUI.)

Spending many thousands of dollars on lawyer fees to get yourself out of a DUI can make a lot of sense unless you're in a jurisdiction that doesn't take DUI seriously. Of course it makes a lot more sense to only drive when bone dry sober.
I did not think this was implied by the previous statement. But I have not been following org structure of openai at all.
Why should it? Owner proves to be US citizen (and not a legal "person" aka fictional entity incorporated in Delaware), or pays the tax, simple.
Nope, it was mentioned last Friday in a blog post (that he was stepping down from YC):

The only way to avoid an implosion is to find a way to make shale oil profitable. Given that no one's been able to do that, after a couple decades of trying, I'm deeply skeptical that the big boys will do any better. I think they're desperate, after cutting a trillion dollars in capex on conventional exploration since the crash. Meanwhile, shale is sitting on massive a debt bubble that won't be payed off with modest profitability. They need to make big profits to dig out of that.
just googling "hadoop distro", without limiting it to the hadoop website, finds lots of references to people and media outlets using distro as a shorthand.
ok it is true that with sufficient technical prowess one could fake that they did the vote, but as a general rule hold your iphone up in front of the monitor and make a video of you doing the vote would be a good enough solution for most criminals.
I don't accept that it isn't immediately obvious that tiling is more efficient than dragging to maximize real estate on a single workspace. If someone wants to use an inferior method because that's what they are comfortable with that is fine. Just don't assert that the two are equal without some reasoned argument.
Hi, I work at AWS on compute services, but spent a lot of my life building Linux distros.

For those of us with Linux distro building experience, this may be initially confusing. But calling a curated collection of software a "distro" has been used for decades outside of Linux distributions.

For example, there are multiple distributions of TeX, like TeX Live, MacTeX, etc. http://www.tug.org/interest.html#free

See also the Anaconda Distribution for Python and R: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/ (not to be confused with the Anaconda that I know and love: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(installer) )
"The maintainers of open source projects have the responsibility of keeping the source destination open to everyone and not changing the rules midstream."

Since when is anybody entitled to any free software. Projects can do what they want with their code, and while free software (the Stallman kind) is nice, if projects cite you as the main reason for their change of direction, you are intellectually dishonest if you just blame them for not being willing to do volunteer work (for you) anymore.

This, to me, looks like an abusive "look what you made me do".
Property rights are constitutionally protected, and under the precedents surrounding the 14th amendments, this overrules California's rules. Eminent domain remains legal, but legally speaking, Khosla is in the right here.

Disagree. I feel there's tons in there -- it's just not laid out in a bullet point list of "do this" statements (or at least the list given is a punchline). For example, her approach to interviewing: That a high-level person has a "don't bullshit" approach to the interview process that got them to be VP of Google. Or the social proof that people at the top can be just as miserable and unfulfilled as the people below. It's not just griping -- it's normalizing and humanizing. Stories are powerful.

Anyhow, I guess we can agree to disagree.
I’m sorry but I can’t take this seriously when 2/5 of the shuttles were lost for a 40% failure rate.

Totally agreed. I was blown away by the improvement in quality brought by the 1.0 beta, and I'm looking forward to using the release!
They may be visually pleasing, but humans just cannot process angular magnitudes at a granular level.

A bar chart where one bar is 25% larger than another is obvious, a pie chart with the same is not obvious. Numeric labels are needed, because the chart itself does not serve as a useful visual reference.

It may look nice, but it does no good. Especially once you have more than a handful of values!
Humans generally move easily from one nicotine delivery system to another but fail miserably when trying to quit nicotine all together.

It's also very important to understand that nicotine, like most addictive chemicals, impacts different people in different ways. Some people have no problem smoking a few cigarettes a month for years bon end without every developing an addiction.
Yup. I don't have the study unfortunately, but it was in the past couple years that a university did a study on males who kept their phone in the pockets. They found they had a lower sperm count than those that didn't keep their phone there.
Aside from being a shallow dismissal this comment demonstrates an unmistakable unfamiliarity with the subject. How one can have such a strong opinion on something they know so little about is beyond me. Frozen dirt is brittle and easy to dislodge, it is only difficult if you need to dig a post hole or something of limited width.

Is there a similar problem with romance novels, addicting women to the domamine/norephinephrine rush, less interested in the local talent? Maybe we can extend the issue to the whole hyper stimulated media saturated culture.

A paleo media diet may be the right direction. Confine ourselves mostly to the nearest practical approximation of the info environment we evolved with, a bubble of a few dozen people and the work that sustains us. That would result in people with smaller lives, but maybe also healthier ones. But then people inclined to believe this wouldn't be reading this.

Again, this is what I've heard; never used it myself (mostly because of the issues you mentioned; I'm unwilling to give up copy-paste and hidpi). With that said, X11 is quite arcane. I3 is still good, or at least for me. Not going to try to proselytize here. I mostly switched because I had to use a completely ancient computer for a while, and I needed to use a tiling wm to get decent responsiveness.
What a mess. Wait a week, maybe the price will go up or down another 3%. Who knows!
There's a table in the article about the Net carbon emissions of indoor vs outdoor farming, claiming a total of 1.1 for outdoor vs 1.0 for indoor.
I have to respectfully disagree. I find that Clojure makes dealing with Java pretty straightforward, and in fact is (in some ways) a "nicer Java than Java", especially if you don't mind paying the cost of runtime reflection.

For example, the way you call a method is by using the (.myMethod args) syntax. Imagine we have something like this:

(defn myCoolFunction [myarg]
(.myMethod myarg "some argument"))

This effectively gives us a level of structured typing...I don't particularly care what myarg is, as long as it has myMethod defined.

There are other features that make interop with Java pretty pleasant. The `doto` macro allows you to have a nice encapsulated system when you have to do a bunch of property setting methods.

(doto (MyClass.)
(.setSomething 1)
(.setSomethingElse 2)
(.setSomethingElse 3))

Or, for that matter, the ability to directly compose methods and functions together without intermediate variables with the threading macros

(-> myObject
(.myMethod 1)
(.myOtherMethod 2)
(some-regular-function 3)
(.anotherMethod 4))

My point is not to be a salesman for Clojure (even though I love the language), but rather to point out that the interop with Java tends to work very well, at least in my experience.
Why Privacy Legislation Is Hard to Get Right
I feel with you. I was shocked to learn that fax is still the default for Doctor 2 Doctor communication here in Germany.

Turns out the reason is rather simple: the law explicitly requires phone lines to be confidential in terms of eavesdropping. (You need a warrant, else it‘s illegal). While all other means of transport are not covered by this. So everyone who wants to legally cover his ass, would rather use the legally privileged, but technically wide open phone line over technically sound solutions missing such a legal framework.
Fully agreed. This is no more in ideas space vs a rogue single party communist state engaging in policy wanking and pandering to the worst elements in society while pretending to be helping the poor. This is a state where politicians work actively to protect the interests of richest rich while screwing up actually productive people.

I hope Google, Facebook and others will develop a diversification strategy and move out of this shithole.
I mean, now you've got a strong case for wrongful termination and a report of retaliatory termination to your state's DoL.
How are you sure? Talk to someone in HR and you may be surprised how many ways that people can lash out or cry out for help.
Yes or no: will you remain a registered non-profit organization (401/501-type orgs or similar), or were you ever? It's fine to call your self non-profit but if you don't have to abide by the rules of them then you aren't, period.

I think all of us here are tired of "altruistic" tech companies which are really profit mongers in disguise. The burden is on you all to prove this is not the case (and this doesn't really help your case).
I haven't quit (yet) but I did have a moment of revelation. I realized that I was taking all this effort, closing my eyes trying to bring back moments from videos. Then I opened my eyes and looked into the face of my spouse, and rediscovered something.

Adding another thought to this, which is that I doubt the code behind this is a direct response to Elastic's recent license changes. This is a ton of work and I'm guessing AWS has been working on the code side of this since well before last summer. By all accounts their hosted Elastic offering is wildly successful so they've probably been hard at work to add features that Elastic formerly had as closed and commercial (before the license change).

I think their open sourcing of this work is a direct response to the recent license changes. If it weren't for those, they might have just kept this work closed and in use only for the hosted product (like they do with many other projects).
The article appears to be incomplete. I don't see anything about how to use the pins?

It's more the constant variety of HD porn that triggers the dopamine so much that men built up such a high tolerance for the level of depravity. Sort of like a drug addict.

And it all stems from the mind. Think about it. The trigger/need to watch porn stems from the mind before the body responds with an erection.

The mind is a powerful tool which can be used for good or bad.
Awesome! Fantastic news. If there's any chance sircmpwn is lurking here, quick question: has there been any further development on IME support? I use Mozc+IBus. Last time I tried on sway it almost worked, but the prediction box didn't show.

That was the only gripe I had with sway. It solved all my tiny issues with i3 and made config much nicer too. Certainly making the switch if IME is better (or if I can easily help out).

Real big thanks to the wlroots/sway community.
It is hard for me to imagine that Amazon warehouse jobs are much worse than other warehouse jobs. This reminds me of Tom Wolfe's telling of the character Conrad Hensley (of Oakland, CA) in A Man in Full. His warehouse job was pretty bad and he was on the ropes.
Something I recall from reading "Sail Performance", the crab claw is way better then most people expect. In fact for a smaller boat it may just be the best shape when averaged over all the points of sail. Modern sail plans are targeted more towards large boats and racing boats, which does not reflect the reality of what most people are sailing most of the time.

Current status: still sucks, unfortunately. From what I've seen the developers have more-or-less decided that it would be a lot of effort to get scaling and input to work correctly for X applications with HiDPI, and they'd rather work on new things, not supporting old things. Which I certainly understand, but it kills the experience for most applications that I tend to use. So I can't really switch until that changes or more applications support wayland natively.
in what world is this no news? these aren't just statistics on employees who happen to work at amazon. these 911 calls were reported to be placed while at work. what other places of work is it common for employees, while working, to experience such emotional distress that they need to call external emergency services?

Hell, even before Linux was popular, gcc took off in the commercial Unix space because a) it didn't cost anything, while the official Sun compiler was ludicrously expensive, and b) it was more performant than the official Sun compiler.
Is it really honest to say "Keeping Open Source Open"? Elasticsearch is 100% open source, even Apache Licensed, and you are implying that this is not the case "somehow". Sure "security" is missing, but who says that this has to be part of the open source project "Elasticsearch"?

Maybe it would be more honest to say "Forcing open source backing companies to avoid open core that is hated by AWS" ;) ?

(btw: I'm not associated with Elastic except loving their open source projects)

> But the reality is - when some person sits looooong away in Washington and makes some rules - they are hardly connected to the people they represent.

I don't think that is the reality. I think that is the illusion that shelter in. It's easy to see them as completely disconnected, but they're not really. Many times, this is a result of having to deal with much greater complexity the larger the scale, and people not taking the time to understand or appreciate that complexity.

We live in a globally connected world. There is no way to get rid of that complexity. Smaller governing bodies might solve some problems, but they will also create problems when considered at a global scale.
No, Elon parted ways with OpenAI some time ago due to differences in opinion over their direction. Looks like we’re starting to learn the details.
It’s porn?
No, it’s low testosterone.
No, it’s cell phones.
No, it’s plastic.

We are so adamant about finding the “one true cause” of any given thing that we don’t stop to consider that it doesn’t matter what it actually is.

If we pretend it’s all of them, what’s the worst outcome? We watch less porn, eat better food, spend less time with our phone and use less plastic? What a terrible scenario that would be. We might do all these good things for no good reason!

It’s the same problem we have with climate change. Always looking for the scapegoat instead of recognizing that the problem can be alleviated without finding the one true cause, assuming there even is one.
I don’t think that was really his point? There are always outliers, but in general the trend is still true...
