When I started with Linux, the first few years I used SuSE. At that time it was quite normal that a lot of tweaking was needed to get things running. But later on when the landscape modernized, it was noticable that SuSE uses a lot of custom solutions. For instance the /opt directory used to be more in use, likewise a lot of configuration was done via YaST instead of /etc or standard tools that can access /etc.

So when bugs appear one needs to wait for SuSE to fix them or work around them. Ubuntu did a much more standard approach, they have (like Debian of course) less customizations in place making users profit from both upstream and 3rd party packages without SuSE focus.

Anyways, other distributions don't seem to have a tool like YaST which does all the system configuration and has both proper shell and UI integrations. Also KDE feels more natural on SuSE I guess.
Not at all! That’s why these kinds of spaces to exist, to expand on the ideas presented in the link. And my goal here is to facilitate more conversion, so this is exactly what I wanted :)
mmmm, both!

Tech-wise, data stacks are complicated. Hundreds of pre-existing tools, with many owners and diverse interests. BI is where they all meet. With some organizations its easy to build a central data warehouse, but in a large corporate environment that's a dream. Imagine how many data warehouses an organization like Microsoft might have? OK, MS is too large - how about Expedia or Zillow? Thousands? So you connect a tool like Looker--that was designed for 2-10 connections--to a thousand? How do you even administer all the connections? How do you govern access? Access permissions at Looker (and other BI tools) are great, but it would take you 10 years to set them up for 1,000 DBs. And what about tool access? Some want SSH tunneling, others want complete on-prem. Some need Google authentication, while others want one through a pre-existing corporate login. Most large organizations typically end up building--or hiring someone to build--their own custom solutions on top of these tools. Such custom solutions are bigger projects than the implementation of a BI tool to begin with. Oh, and most also fail. The success of a BI in an enterprise environment is partly good sales/marketing/support, but a big part is due to the product achieving some form of maturity with all this side tech--the stuff totally not core to the analytics itself.

Business-wise, try getting people with diverse backgrounds agree on common terminology. Let's take marketing for instance. Should be easy, no? But hey, marketing is actually like 10-20 different kinds of people - some know SQL, others can't put 2+2 together and arrive at anything other than the word "magic". Some think in terms of stories--others think in terms of conversion funnels. OK, so you've put together some data dictionary, did some training, segmented users into 1) technical ones (SQL/LookML/BackML...), 2) business (explore), 3) consumers (dashboards/pretty charts). But now it turns out that much of the data they rely on is generated by a different team--say, operations or sales. Again, you've got 10-20 different kinds of personalities there. Somehow all these people have to agree. How do you make them all agree? Short answer: you cannot. No one can. They don't even like speaking to one another - and now you are going to come in and make them agree on what kind of KPI is going to determine their success => bonus. Hell no!

There are ways to make progress on both fronts. And, no doubt, an open source project has some chance. But it is not easy. And no one has really done it in 30 years. Many have tried.

Full disclosure: I love BigQuery (Google Cloud partner). Love Looker. Rely on Open Source constantly. Just trying to demonstrate a realistic view of how hard this problem is.
I use chromium and Widevine works fine (Netflix works fine)
Even if nobody does the pumped hydro scam, green energy is often sold twice: once locally, where people know the energy they use comes from clean sources, and once somewhere else where customers pay a premium for a certificate stating that the energy they use was pretend-swapped with a place where the local supply is clean.

Nobody in Norway will ever consider their Tesla coal powered because someone in Germany had their utility buy the hydro bragging rights off the Norwegian utility, but the German driver will happily believe the illusion that someone in Norway is responsible for the coal use, thanks to a tiny premium he paid on his energy bill. And it's not even quite as bad as it sounds, because that tiny premium does indeed influence the market dynamic in favor of green energy, it's just not quite as clean as the on-paper-swap would make it seem. That Norwegian who benefits from his utility selling off green bragging rights will never be tempted to outbid the German for that certificate, because the facts of energy provenance are on his side no matter what.
Measure: A mental model for decision-making
Live Share has been super fun to use, and the one underrated capability is the ability to build extensions on top of it. I built a text chat extension[1] on Live Share, and I'm keen to see more extensions that bring shared experiences for developers while writing/reviewing code.

> via seminal fluid to oral mucosa

To these people, 'oral sex' seems to mean implicitly mean a female giving and a male receiving. Typical.
(Disclaimer: I'm not the author of this paper nor do I know them - I saw this on Twitter and found it an interesting if flawed read so I thought I'd share.)
> Also, India was not born Socialist, although it may have socialist policies - much like any other country. First mention of socialism was in 1976

OK, I grant you that the words Socialist made it into the constitution later, but Nehru (and the post independence polity in general) had socialist leanings since well before Independence[1]

In the context of my assertion about Indo-US relationship, it is only semantics of whether India was born Socialist or not.

Intel Columbiaville: 800 Series Ethernet at 100G, with ADQ and DDP
PCBs and CNC milled or 3d printed parts are a bit of an exception in that the processes and services are stadardized enough that replication is not that hard unless something really crazy is going.

But everything that relies on more traditional mass production methods (injection molding, casting, ...) is much more dependent on the actual execution of the manufacturing process and the part designs will generally accomodate that, for example by avoiding certain geometries or incorporating ways to account for manufacturing tolerances during assembly.

I am not an engineer myself, but I had to work with mechanical engineers occasionally and I learned that the amount of work that goes into making some seemingly simple parts manufacturable at scale and at cost can be surprising.
This can be a powerful tool, but in this specific instance it's probably more likely to get his account locked down for good.
Rock climbing is like solving a puzzle with your body. You can't just go straight up. You have to analyze all of the differently shaped holds and walls and figure out how to position your body to maximize your grip while minimizing the amount of energy you need to expend. There's also a difficulty rating system, so you feel rewarded when you manage to finish a new level. But if you're not motivated by leveling or puzzle solving, it's probably not for you.
> OR 95%CI 0.25-0.97

Talk about a weak result! They're 95% confident that women with recurrent miscarriages are at least 3% less likely to perform oral sex.
If you are worried about it get the Gardasil vaccine. It is 600$ in my country and I got it out of pocket because I think it's a great idea for anyone mildly active sexually.
I just can't understand why the largest company in the world can't offer both. :/

Apple was seemingly able to do twice as much when they were 20x smaller.
This is junk science. Can’t believe it made it past the review process.

I don't think that's historically accurate. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the battle cry of the revolution "no taxation without representation"? It wasn't about privacy, it was about wanting to be more than just a backwater colony.
I guess it helps that Netflix essentially has one product.
How about a blacklight? The frequency of light you can see leaking through the filter is 404nm, so that should be a relatively safe way to see what "spectral violet" looks like, right?
DC-9;MD-[89]0;B717 have the same T-tail design, the deep stall was address by changes to the wing leading edge, not sure if they also have a stick pusher.
I agree that everybody should be vaccinated, but Gardasil only immunizes against a few strains of cancer-inducing HPV.

Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Module (PMM)
You’re on the right track with the inhibitor / activator method to target Klotho. It's a funny protein. It forms a complex with FGF23 for binding to the FGFR. My bet is that there's some relationship to ECM remodeling and the function of Klotho, given it's relationship to glucuronidases. That's just a guess though, but it's very interesting.

Data dredging is usually establishing a causation or pattern of two loosely correlated variables with no clear undesrstanding of why one have effects on the other. (correlation != causation).

In this particular case they seem to have a clear hypothesis on why there could be a strong link between one and the other:
> "Oral sex might induce maternal tolerance towards paternal antigens of the fetus".

Anyway. This doesn't mean that this is a strong study. Just pointing out that at least they seem to have a theory on why oral sex can protect against miscarriages.
And I think that is an absurd conclusion. Nobody seriously thinks violating the speed limit or ripping your own DVDs is on the same level as murder or fraud, yet the former two are routinely violated to society’s benefit, with no impact on murder prosecution.
> So, why would you want "proper" peer review nowadays?

Because I want other people to help catch my mistakes. Why wouldn't you want that?

> She makes the claim that DHA is required for proper brain growth. It's demonstrably incorrect.

There is considerable peer-reviewed research going back at least a couple of decades that would back up this claim, even if it has been elusive to demonstrate. It's widely accepted that DHA heavily accumulates in the brain during early life, infants require a large amount 'pre-formed', and insufficient supply is detrimental to cognitive and visual development. A quick pub med search will illustrate this rather quickly. The findings are so significant that most infant formula now contains DHA and ARA, in addition to LA and ALA. Even if mom does not consume animal meat, she still converts ALA into DHA and passes this on to her offspring during the third trimester and after birth through milk.
Or ProseMirror, Slate, Quill, Trix, or probably a dozen other very similar contenteditable-based editor frameworks.
If you had to run this stuff on another platform, you'd just spin up a VM or container, right?

To get around the legal issue that they won't do this for an open source project, just create a shell corporation.

That shell corp then writes a closed-source plugin wrapper in another project entirely.

Put widevine in that wrapper. Then your open source project just has to include that plugin.

That was a slogan of the revolution, but there were more than one; it wasn't the unique complaint. There was also a fairly specific list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence.

Any browser could be made from Chromium by sufficient modification.

I mean, if something open source works, anything else open source can also be made to work.

Even if something that works includes binary blobs, you can still modify open source parts while keeping that blob and keeping the system working. So I'm not sure what is the original problem.
Game servers typically don't last more than a few years, even for an AAA game. They pretty much never last a whole decade outside of major MMORPG.

Storeon: Redux-like state manager in 179 bytes () with React/Preact hooks
On my Mac it's using 708MB of memory and the CPU, which should be <1% since it's in the background and presumably not doing anything, bounces around constantly but is almost always in the 20%-30% range, which makes Evernote a ridiculous battery wasting abomination.

The memory use also grows for no reason. I have caught it consuming 20GB+ after a day or two. There's obviously an egregious memory leak and that's been true for at least a year; I can only conclude that Evernote is a crap company that doesn't care at all about bugs, even critical ones.

I have taken to only running Evernote on my desktop when I absolutely have to, and I try to remember to quit it so it doesn't gobble CPU and RAM, but sometimes I forget.
>I wouldn’t say there are no differences between the “male” and “female” brain. I do know my brain wasn’t very happy on the hormones I was born producing — and there’s promising research about how gender identity actually has a basis in physical differences in brain structure

You could view this as "no difference" though, as your gender identity would not rely on a male or female phenotype.
If a single company can effectively decide whether a bunch of 3rd party sites that they don't control work on your browser, how is that any different? Google is effectively deciding that anyone other than pre-approved browsers can't play Netflix content.

If an ISP fully embraced the Net Neutrality repeal and started blocking video content, and someone posted on HN that ISPs were "blocking them from building a streaming service", no one would be complaining that, "technically you can build it, you just can't reach any of your customers." Everyone on HN would understand that part of building a service is the having the ability to reach customers.

In the same way, part of building a web browser is having the ability to render web content. If Google can block your custom browser from rendering content, then for all practical purposes they are blocking your ability to build a browser.

Regardless of what Triplebyte is trying to do, they don’t actually work the way you suggest. You take a short, multiple choice quiz, then do a coding challenge and an interview. I believe the time investment is around 4 hours.

What you get is actual, real feedback on your performance, and you skip straight to onsites with companies they match you with. The feedback is valuable, but I don’t know how their matching process works at all.

What it _doesn’t_ do is “turn an O(n) process into an O(1) process,” as their FAQ suggests. All it saves you is 1 phone screen per company they match you with. If a typical phone screen is 45-60 minutes, and the time you spend on their process is 4 hours, you need to interview with 4-6 of their clients to make it worthwhile in terms of time savings.

IMO, don’t try Triplebyte to save yourself time. Do it for the interview feedback, because that’s the best place I know where you can get real feedback for free.

Oh everyone is aware of it. They have been making some changes to the promotion process to try to address it. But it's still a huge issue.

I'm not so sure about what the alternative is, though. The promotion process at other places I've worked was pretty much "does your boss like you? If so, they'll promote you." Which has a whole host of other issues. For instance you can get promoted for doing a mediocre job at maintenance work but being very friendly and likable.
The TL;DR of the linked comment/explanation above is:

* OP built a neural network (Deep Paranoia) similar to GPT-2 + DeepDream that can generate text for any narrative, and identified that anyone could use such a system to reinforce any (false or not) narrative they want

* OP then built a symmetric surveillance system (Grassland) focused on "truths" (derived from proof of work from IRL video feeds) to help protect humanity against a future in which auto-generated false narratives are widespread, intending to provide common people with something closer to omniscience such that they can see more (spatially and temporally) to be able to verify fact against potentially false narratives

It's doomsday-ish, but seems like a natural evolution of tech in this space. And understandable why building the former (Deep Paranoia) would prompt someone to build the latter (Grassland).

Obviously you can't have a "we have the right to harass you" clause in a copyright agreement, though. Threatening to do so is quite extreme.
They already have the weaponry. They have captured the content people need to advance science and learning. That's already lost, we can't re-fight that battle. The choice now is to either use SciHub to access that content by other means, or voluntarily avoid doing this - thus granting them the spoils of the victory, and hope to maybe, maybe have some content free in the next one. I don't see how not voluntarily granting them the spoils makes anything worse for me - the legal system is always on their site, and that won't change in my lifetime. So it's either no access to papers for me, and hoping that maybe my grandkids will have some - or SciHub.
I really wonder what is so valuable about saving everything on the Internet. For all of human history until now, every little human interaction was fleeting and only meant something to the people involved. Things that were significant were preserved when the people involved decided they were important. Now we are trying to keep every one of those insignificant things, for what purpose? Training an AI is all I can think of.
Google aren't inventing.They aren't even re-inventing.

They're just re-implementing.
Maybe from the outside it seemed that way, but from the inside just about everyone except Vic Gundotra and his org, no one considered it a serious contender. Just about everyone I know knew Google+ was misguided and orthogonal to the business, meanwhile the consensus internally is that GCP is an obvious extension of the infrastructure work that is going to get done anyway.
Didn't know SpatialOS was attached specifically to Google Cloud. This seems like a risky business move, people should've learned from the fine example of companies built exclusively on the Facebook platform by now.

https://www.hadean.com/ is presumably a direct competitor to SpatialOS then, I take it? And it's tied to Azure, I believe.
We don't know how many different things did they ask for on the survey? Maybe they had 100 different things that they were just spitballing might have some possible effect.
