The NFL does allow women to apply, and one has tried, though that appeared to be just a publicity stunt.

There are a few women who play college football, and they are eligible to apply in the more traditional manner. With college experience and professional coaching it's not completely impossible that they could make it, probably as kickers or punters, who don't need as much upper body strength as other positions.

This seems like more of a problem with the laptop lineup. If the lineup had a usb a port as well as usb c, there would be no confusion about what connects, no matter which ipad you have.

Most people still have usb a peripherals, so the laptop situation is confusing. I do podcasting and had to advise someone in the industry on the i/o of new macbooks, it's not obvious for most.
Can you please elaborate on "I don't believe "expert consulting", as apart from "freelancing" or "contracting", is a real thing in our industry."?

Many in this topic wrote about being a real consultant rather then a contractor in software industry. By that they mean, as I see, providing advice, recommendation to clients.

I know you are very experienced in this area, so you mean one cannot be a pure consultant in software?

You can use managed Kubernetes. And that person with expertise would mostly influence design decisions in order to write software that is easily deployed to kubernetes and orchestrated in containers. They wouldn’t be a dev ops person taking care of k8s cluster obviously that makes no sense for a small team.
In all honesty, I'm not sure I understand your train of thought[0]: why would re-purposing beach parking into housing be dumb as an absolute?

There are probably places where that would be dumb and others where the community as a whole would benefit from increased housing availability?

Most of America has plenty of space but why would anyone agree to live in bumfuck nowhere? How could they make a living out of nowhere (remote jobs are, in the grand scheme of things, a drop in the bucket)? Why should they forego access to health services, community & the fabric of society? Some human beings enjoying being solitary but we all crave to various degrees of social interaction.

To answer your comment in a too simplistic way: if parking does take room away from shelter, yes, absolutely, that's very bad urban planning & if done on purpose is a "violation" of the rights of those who needed that shelter. Except that life & urban planning aren't always that cut and dry and we need parking space, shops, warehouses, factories, housing & animal shelters and a myriad other things, as well as stop urban sprawling as much as possible.

I'd think the only way to bring honesty to this is to make exchanges report what their inbound/outbound wallets are, apply the ratios of in/out to reported volume gathered from "trustworthy" exchanges, and then you have a fuzzy guesstimate of the volume of these exchanges.

Those exchanges that don't submit data are either doing shady stuff, or don't care to be listed (which is perfectly fine).

I know people who use Docker Compose to run Docker containers on their laptops. I don't think Compose or Swarm were ever nearly as popular as Kubernetes for running services in production.

One of the signs that Kubernetes became the industry standard is that its competitors feel the need to promote their compatibility with it. Docker for Mac now ships with a built-in Kubernetes cluster. (I prefer it to Minikube).
I think moral values rather than numerical values were intended as the interpretation of 'values'.
Honest question, granted you’re not 12, and I don’t care if you or your colleagues are furries or whatever.

Your comment makes me sad. Especially since there will be many other people who come to a similar conclusion without adequate information.

The runaway trim problem and the new MCAS problem are superficially similar, but the symptoms are distinctly different. The runaway trim manifests itself with a continuous deflection of the trim. Pilots are trained to recognize this symptom and compensate. The new MCAS also affects the trim, but it is engaged in repeated nose-down commands. It has fundamentally different symptoms compared to the older and more widely known runaway condition.

There is no absolute reference on the position of the stabilizer. It is a wheel that turns, so a pilot must watch that wheel continuously to know if it keeps turning or if it turns periodically.

The controls column has force feedback. The pilot was pulling back with ~50 lbs of force to fight the angle of the trim. Imagine holding a 50 lb dog while simultaneously trying to review emergency procedures to find the source of the problem. The pilot was flying the damn plane, and the symptoms of this problem were different.
Because it’s a dead technology not really maintained anymore. Docker has pivoted to k8s so it’s a bad idea to build new projects to run on swarm imho.

Ask HN: What is the best Date and Time library (in any language)?
Date and time and time zones are notoriously hard to handle correctly. What libraries handle time the best? Which ones make it the most difficult to shoot yourself in the foot? Which language has the best standard library date/time module?

Various dimensions for comparison include:
- handling of timezones
- handling of durations
- handling of other date/time arithmetic
- formatting and parsing
- explicitness for handling time with timezones vs. UTC

Right, I got that mixed up. Thanks!
Why are you trying to argue over the word? Are you purposely trying to distract from your point and start an argument? If you don't accept how I tried to refine your point, then okay, but don't obfuscate it further.

"Police don’t bother to make arrests because the DA wouldn’t prosecute anyway. More and more homeless drug addicts move here to take advantage of the de-facto deregularization."

This reads like bemoaning they aren't locking people up, and is the rhetoric of tough on crime libertarians in my area.

"The city reacts by throwing more money at the problem, without oversight or results, and the cycle continues."

This reads like a justification for criminalization. If you don't think the criminal system is vindictive, I don't know what to tell you.

There are of course multiple options. That was what my initial post was trying to emphasize, not that you are some vengeful onlooker.

Edit: maybe I should emphasize this part of your sentence, "without oversight or results, and the cycle continues." because refining that rather than our dumb argument makes more sense.
That's not what this story is about though (admittedly IM sometime not so HO). It's about how seemingly small mistakes end up shaping an entirely made version of history, even at a time when clickbait listicles and Russian troll farms didn't control public discourse yet. If some immaterial detail like this was so grossly wrong, what else is wrong? Is there no way to trust anything we read? What is the value of decades of archives of websites and newspapers when nobody has any incentive to correct or maintain any of it?

Is it time to start building a 'web of trust' for information 'chunks', as the original PGP set out to do in the 90's for people? Should we just acknowledge that we've lost the battle on 'finding the Truth'? Those are more material questions that whether or not this one guy saved 0 or 10 people 20 years ago, and whether that warrants a motorcycle tribute ride to be named after him.

I'm not sure he planned on it, either. I think sometimes people do things because, when they find themselves in the situation, they can't not do it. (But I'm still alive, so what do I know?)
Totally wrong. Your implied solution is to just have every single developer, everywhere, to be a linguistics expert and to handle the myriad of international cases for basically everything.

This is totally the wrong approach.

Language is complex and sometimes ambiguous, but there are definitely a series of tools that should be integrated into every 'String' that can facilitate most problems.

Not every company is trying to satisfy Hindi speakers.

"That doesn't mean anything" This is false. It absolutely means something, you can't brush it aside by inventing a separate series of related measurements. Should we have those other measurements? - yes, in many cases, we probably should have them as well - which the whole point. We desperately need a series of common tools built into String, some of them which provide more nuance.

"It's true that it's ignoring complexity, because you're ignorant to start with"

Well, since I have a background in NLP, I've developed writing recognition and word prediction algorithms, as well as language models for dozens of languages for products used by millions of people every day ... maybe I'm not as ignorant as your snide remark suggests?

"> That would help in English as it's really hard today just to deal emojis.

It… really isn't."

Uh, yes, it absolutely would help, and it's painfully obvious. In most languages, which cover the exceeding majority of markets for most apps made, simply knowing the character length (i.e. 'visible character' as to avoid confusion over messy nomenclature here) is very useful. In Latin languages, after Unicode normalization and other kinds of cleaning, Emojis present a very common case for confusion.

There are very small set of tools (or rather, a slightly better, more standardized String approach) which would solve most of the problems for most companies developing for most markets. There are even a few extra tools which would solve, pragmatically all of them.
Agreed, but change the background to something lighter and solarized-light is not so bad.

Bonus: it's widely supported, so you only change one color

My suggestion is a light yellowish grey:
BackgroundColour=236,231,225

Bonus of using light themes instead of dark themes: you can invert your colors at night. It is easy on your eyes, and the browser and the rest of the system also follow suit.

I recommanad to use NegativeScreen + a red matrix so everything is in shade of red.
The thing the 'there's a ready to go helm chart' folks always seem to skim over is that outside of an absolute startup position where you can curlbash to hello world heaven, you will have integration to do, often huge amounts of customization (read: complete rebuild) to do to take a toy helm app configuration to a production configuration, and I've never seen even so much as a nascent k8s (or nomad, mesos, etc.) buildout leveraged in a preexisting environment without quite a bit of pipeline, acl/naming convention and ux glue.

The proliferation of operators, CRDs, things like k3s and the growing ecosystem of vendor distributions makes 'stock k8s' an increasingly nebulous target.
Sure, but "isn't exposed" is very different from "that functionality is physically not present in this executable."
Actually it mostly wasn't. It eventually became the more frequent outcome at the end of the 17th century, as the profession - like juries - signalled their dissatisfaction with the laws. There were something ridiculous like 200 capital offences.

It was laws falling into disrepute with both the profession and juries, and transportation becoming the majority that led to much of the 18th century legal reforms that removed nearly all the capital offences.

They would be happier being replaced by robots, and having to find something else to do?

If so, could they not voluntarily do that now, without robots?
[Update: See below, many of these features have been added to ECS since the last time I touched this portion of our infrastructure.]

> Could you elaborate a little on this part? Our team is looking at ECS/Fargate as a possible container solution and I am curious what you felt was missing from it.

Some typical examples:

- Kubernetes allows you to run a monitoring container on every single node using something called a "DaemonSet". On ECS, you'll have to build all your monitoring tools into your base image, or use cloud-init to spawn an ECS task on each machine.

- You're probably going to end up writing a bunch of scripts to generate ECS task definition JSON and to update running services, and you'll need to integrate this into your CI system somehow. With Kubernetes, you can get away with "kubectl apply -f" for a fairly long time.

- Kubernetes makes it relatively easy to allocate and manage persistent disk volumes. I wouldn't necessarily use them for a production database, but they're great for smaller things.

- Kubernetes has autoscaling support, plus the ability to control which containers run on which types of servers.

- Kubernetes has basic secret management built-in. It's nothing as nice as Vault, but it's good enough to get started.

- Kubernetes has support for a whole bunch of useful minor things that would typically wind up as Terraform scripts on AWS.

And so on. None of these is very hard individually, but there's a ton of things like this. So we're slowly migrating pieces of ECS infrastructure over to Kubernetes so that we can stop reinventing so many wheels.

Again, for those things which can run on Heroku, either choice is overkill. And I have to admit that ECS is very reliable at the things it does. If you do decide to look at Kubernetes, I highly recommend skimming the O'Reilly books, which provide a solid overview of how it all fits together.
Oil water separation is actually really hard, it's been a huge problem for over a century. There's a lot of research being done on the topic, dozens of teams from top universities around the world working on it; just look through recent issues of Energy & Fuels, for instance.

Luckily for the environment, it is one of those cases where "more oil emitted into waterways = less money earned", through less amount of product, or less valuable product - cleaning up the oil and cleaning up the water often go hand in hand.
Well spotted.

Pinterest have presumably done well with Google's carousel that shows image search results at the top of the list.

I am not sure the HN crowd is target demographic. Who here is looking for a new outfit to buy and wear? Who is wanting inspiration for some 'infinity band' tattoo?

People here just end up on Pinterest wanting images for projects, no intention of pinning boards together.

Why does this happen?

Pinterest have built a body of content that is essentially evergreen and well documented as far as images go. Nobody is interested in last week's news but images don't have this problem. Hence they get the image search results traffic.

Beyond that they do have their regular crowd looking for inspiration on clothes, home trinkets and what not. The search result blessings keep them relevant even if nobody outside the target demographic is actively using it.
Was going to say similar, haven't really been using Code server much yet, but was planning on spinning up an instance this weekend.

At first glance they do look similar.
I do wish they were combined. It would be nice to handle arrays of structs and structs of arrays more gracefully, and it's unfortunate how the format strings almost (but not really) agree with each other.

And so long as I'm asking for ponies, it would also be nice if they handled complex numbers gracefully.
More concerning to me is that I’m unclear how much heat capacity this thin film has. If you can’t layer it, then you’d neee vast sheets of the stuff to be useful as an energy source. Maybe it could be useful, but at the moment it seems more interesting than practical. Of course that could change, but I don’t think applications will be in the realm some here are hoping for.

It could make for a great solar shower lining though...
> Why don't more people just use the native machine imaging built into cloud providers? (I would actually like to know this)

I've done that, and I've done Kubernetes, and Kubernetes is definitely easier once you get past the initial setup. The initial setup is also getting easier over time.

It is also more portable. Kubernetes runs on multiple cloud providers as well as your own hardware and presents the same interface and runs the same containers. Docker containers are more portable than AMIs.

If you plan to write your own system to control deployments, secrets, load balancing, and DNS based on AMIs and other AWS features, you may want to consider that you are reinventing the wheel. You are also locking yourself into AWS to a far greater extent than you would if you used Kubernetes.

Expertise is also a big differentiator. You can hire people who know Kubernetes on day one, but you cannot hire people who already know your custom in-house system.

Unregulated exchanges fake volume to stay competitive with the other unregulated exchanges. Treating those as 0 means you may as well say "only 5% of exchange volume is traded on regulated exchanges, and we don't have the slightest clue about the rest."

A lot of the "cheap people" would be absolutely thrilled to be able to leave their "job" (indentured servitude is probably a more accurate description) in an asian sweatshop or an African subsistence farm and go to school. And no, they can't do that now because they can't afford it. Whether robots would materially change that is debatable. What is not debatable is that having "cheap people" is a better deal for the buyer than it is for the seller.

They did, but they never once apologized or admitted they misled customers about the laptop launching with Coreboot working and ME removed (in fact their initial promise was that they somehow got Intel to make a ME-free chipset "just for them" which was a flat out lie).
