I think there's a bit of a difference in that NetBSD project itself (kernel and userland) run on all the platforms/architectures, and Linux (the kernel) supports a lot of platforms/architectures itself, you need to find userland that matches... usually finding a distro that is well supported.

NetBSD supports all architectures as part of itself as a whole, no need for distro searching.

One of the cool things about BSD is that kernel and userland are bundled/tightly-coupled together as one single unit. With Linux, you need to find the appropriate distro to help you outside of the few major platforms.

Apples and oranges comparison.

I use vim daily and this isn't an issue. People have issues that if it's not physical it's not real, but the "Button" is there and functions as an escape key nonetheless.
An example configuration file is also acceptable. It is also less prone to leakage if your application runs other untrusted (or simply less trusted) code and does not sanitize the environment first.
Forwarding, yes.

This terminology is tricky, and the fact that toast0 incorrectly thinks that this is a "stub resolver" is indicative of how people get this stuff wildly wrong. A "stub resolver" is in fact the client that makes requests of the server that you are asking about.

I use terminology borrowed from HTTP when explaining this to people. A DNS server that listens on a local IP address and makes back-end queries to another DNS server is a proxy DNS server, and the fact that it hands off all of the grunt work (of stitching together the back-end partial answers to make the front-end complete answers) to another proxy DNS server makes it a forwarding proxy DNS server. If it didn't hand off the grunt work and did all of the query resolution itself, talking directly to content DNS servers, it would be a resolving proxy DNS server.

And the software that is in applications, that formulates requests and sends them over to a proxy DNS server, is a DNS client library.

8.8.8.8 is a resolving proxy.

Dark ages are mostly about to relative lack of written texts from the period due to widespread illiteracy. There are more texts from V century BC left than from VII century AD, for example (in the Western Europe, that is).

I'm sorry that you are going through this. As a man myself who has been through a lot of fertility-related experiences (recurrent miscarriages), I will echo the point that there is limited support for men, and even less interest in understanding male factors for fertility-related woes. For example, research is quite clear that there is a male factor of some sort related to pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension in the woman (my wife has had gestational hypertension before). There is also research showing that non-standard sperm tests (for example DNA fragmentation) can affect miscarriage rates. I am sure there are other more advanced tests for men for those couples who are having trouble conceiving. However, every time I asked for these tests, it was pointed out to me that few labs are able to do the testing, and that it would be difficult to do. In many cases, I had to insist that I be tested at all. That's my experience.

It's not just emotional support; IME, there seems to be a general disinterest in men's bodies as reproductive entities, even though there seems to be a great deal of interest in telling men how 'it takes two to tango' and 'be there for your wife' and '50% of problems are with the man' (it's like, okay if 50% of problems could be with me, then how come you can't test for any of them?)
"Draw your figures in Excel" No no no no no no no! Do not draw your figures in Excel. Yes, they can be drawn quicly, but Excel figures suck, are a pain to customize and will introduce bad habits. Learn to draw figures in R using ggplot2.
Eh, it's just like having a song from an old NES game start playing in my head while I'm cleaning the dishes. Except dumber and more annoying. It's not like it's constant or anything. Usually it's one of their songs ("Blame Canada", that Game of Thrones intro song where all the notes are the word "weiner") or some line or gag that was repeated a whole bunch of times in an episode. Like the worst and most persistent friggin' ear-worms imaginable. But not a day goes by when I don't have one or two things from South Park pass through my head at some point. Just a small annoyance that was made worse by my recognizing it. It's probably true, or nearly so, of many other things too (see: NES music) but those don't bother me.
Hasn’t it always been the case that the current generation skips learning about useless lower layers used by older generations? How could it be that the layers you grew up with and learned are the special ones which are still useful, when all the layers which came before, which people at the time thought essential, have turned out not to be so?

I.e. why is it that C and assembler is “fundamental”, but electronics is not?

(I have written about this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19106922#19113359 )
Because, among many other reasons, I work with a lot of projects that aren't written in just one programming language or use one type of environment. It's not just "I don't want to use five package managers for five different projects in five ecosystems", it's "I don't want to bridge between five package managers for one project that touches five ecosystems". (Or a project in one ecosystem with dependencies from another...)

Any compressor or (rarer) leveling plugin will do.

On the Mac for example, Garageband comes with a free compressor plugin -- and even EQ presets for "spoken voice" like material.

But you can also find free VST compressors -- you'll then need an audio plugin host. Audacity can do that too.
Have you tried Monoprice's dynamic performance mic[0]? It's an SM58 clone with (if reviews are correct) great detail and a bit more high-mids/highs. It might be another alternative besides the sEL7.

> I wrote this app for free. You're not entitled to use it unless you run the analytics because that's how you're paying for it.

Of course, I'm saying I would have loved to pay for it with money instead.

> If it has an exception or is slow on your platform I want to know about it.

You don't have to collect data behind my back to get that information. You could for example offer a way to review the information that is going to be sent, and let me decide for myself if it is too private to share. I would even prefer that to a blanket "opt out" for all the reasons you are saying.

> You should be BEGGING developers to track your usage of the app as it greatly improves app design and reduces the cost of developing the app.

I have never had the experience of seeing an application dramatically improved by forcing tracking on me. Usually it's been a sign that everything is about to become worse.

I'm perfectly happy to participate in opt-in tracking and submit crash reports, especially when I can see for myself there is nothing sensitive included. I'm also technical enough to help with investigating more complex bugs and an avid contributor to open source. Please don't think that everyone who is privacy-conscious has nothing of value to offer you as a user.
Yes, reusability means that we need to clean more stuff. We won't be able to just throw out dirty stuff anymore.
The quickest way to lose a good faith debate is to exaggerate your side. From that point on the debate shifts to be about your exaggerated claims, you're now on the defensive, can't put forward whatever legitimate points you might have, and even those points are now put into question due to your lack of trustworthiness. This article is guilty of that.
Satisfying melancholy is the “cellar door” of vibes in my opinion, these recommendations could have been airport romance titles and I’d probably still have checked them out!

It's an opinion piece, seemingly subjective statements like this one is common place.

The key takeaway is the slow and ineffective response from Chinese authorities at tackling the spread of African Swine Fever. China's response to SARS attracted a lot of criticism and the swine fever epidemic has shown that a lot of the flaws haven't been fully fixed. This paves the way for a future epidemic that may infect humans. It is somewhat alarmist but also very valid concern.

An infectious disease that doesn't impact humans can be just as destructive on our society by destroying economically important livestock or crops.
> It certainly doesn't taste as good

I'd say that's pretty subjective. I haven't missed meat from a taste perspective. The smell actually starts to get a little bit repulsive when I go for months without it.

The rest of your point is very relevant though. I supplement with whey protein. But if it wasn't for that, I'd really be struggling to hit amino acid targets. Being an athletic vegan is borderline impossible in my opinion.
Also, we should rename the Thirty Years' War to "Thirty Years' War in Europe but mostly peace elsewhere", and then we can can call World War I and World War II simply War I and War II - if we assume by default that every event is global (maybe we should add "except Switzerland,etc..." there too...)

Just joking: IMHO if someone knows what dark ages was, usually know where it was... It is that simple!
It's pretty easy to remap to caps lock and doesn't take long to get used to.

To be fair, this is the vast majority of truck drivers. Exceedingly few trucks sold today will ever be asked to do something that requires a truck, most are commuter vehicles driver for social status reasons. A few occasionally might tow a boat.
Just to point out:

1. Not a spurious correlation - Siemens sensors are in fact associated with increased failure rates in the dataset and if you continue to sample data with the same methodology this correlation will continue. You need to fix your data collection methodology, but it's not a spurious correlation.

2. See #1.

3. See #1.

4. The original problem statement said that a low percentage of unfailed turbines used Siemens sensors, and a high percentage of failed turbines used Siemens sensors. So 'you use mostly Siemens sensors' would imply that most of your turbines have failed, which seems a little unlikely to me.
Maybe image segmentation? In my AI class it was referred to as image segmentation and edge detection (interchangeably)

I'll echo this issue with certain companies on the Frontrange. It's good to see that I'm not the only one that is disappointed at the behavior. I'll agree with others, that it's the 'litigious' nature of CO that prevents the feedback and fear of lawsuits. That said, if the company is that afraid, then the mangers must know that the good hires out there have been burnt a few times by now and know that the time they put in will be wasted. You may as well just throw out the tests at this point and focus on networking. You'll only garner fools and the desperate with these tests, with a 'lucky' few that will prove exceptions to the rule, not the other way around. Frontrange tech is small and very close knit (there are only so many good breweries around here yall!), word gets out fast.

This is a good idea. He can control the narrative and get exposure to public speaking.
Yeah, the language of this website is English, which is a European language. Which means that most of the audience is European or live in a country that traces its cultural heritage to Europe. So of course the stuff on here is Eurocentric. Just like the view of history that you find in Chinese publications will be primarily Sinocentric, etc.
All true, but this isn’t a problem with on-the-job training. It’s a problem with all education. There are plenty of terrible professionals coming out of even well-regarded universities.
It’s supposed to be a Eurocentric era: it happened in Europe. You wouldn’t talk about Charles Martel or Pepin the short living in the era of the Tang Dynasty just as much as you wouldn’t talk about Tang Gaozu living in the Dark Ages.
Ok, so this depends on what algorithms are used for the feature detection ("edges in an image, and an eye detector, and a texture analyser for fur"). I'm guessing hand-coding an algorithm for detecting edges in an image can be done successfully, but it looks much harder for "an eye detector", so it needs "machine learning"

What I meant when asking for a name of an algorithm class are algorithms where the feature extraction is done using hand-coded algorithms.
> Erlang can even do a harder thing, which is update the code handling a given socket connection or something live, in a principled manner, while never dropping the connection.

That's what I meant. :) Hot reloading when nothing is "in flight" isn't so hard. The Erlang the Movie example, hot-fixing a PBX without disturbing phone calls in progress (real time requirements!), is really hard.
Graphical applications aside, I think C# on Linux for web backend code using .NET Core is one of the best and most ergonomic platforms to use at the moment. Tooling (Roslyn, vscode, NuGet, ...) is second to none in my opinion.

A while ago, Google photos autogenerated a video for me from my photo library. It was about a minute long, stitched together dozens of photos, called "dog video", and with a horrifying yapping dog soundtrack.

Every single photo was of a cat.

I have to say I was humbled by the amount of human and computing power that had gone into developing this system over the years, that could achieve such a complicated, impressive technical feat, without requiring any effort or money on my part, and yet also be 100% wrong.
Don't like this at all.

Two of the key features of going with Stripe was:

i) Checkout on our page

ii) Simple implementation with a tiny amount of JS

Without the legacy version, we're losing one of these 2 key features.
I think music is a mirror that provides contrast.

If the music is more depressing than you are, you feel less depressed. But if the music is happier than you are, you appreciate that you're more unhappy, and that makes you feel worse.

Aside from the very good points I've already seen pointed out...

The prediction is that 30% of China's pig herd will die. Pork is their staple protein and if 30% of their supply disappears the price will go through the roof and then it will be almost impossible to deny on Chinese media that there's an out-of-control epidemic and the government isn't prepared to do anything about it.
These are excellent suggestions and are taught in science classes. Except for the use of Excel. Yes, Excel is easy, but its flexibility will lead to sloppiness, and drawing figures sucks. Excels statistical functions are also wrong in some cases. For data analysis, learn R or Python, period. If you have lots of data, learn to use SQLite in addition. The learning curve is steep, but well worth it.

We need to spin up a lot of VMs of various Linux distributions for testing Flockport and we found the existing tooling too heavy and involved.

In the end we rolled our own solution that is much more lightweight, uses QEMU directly and provides better visibility, ease of use and even some potentially useful networking features. Here are a few screencasts [1].

This is mainly designed as a module for Flockport and we will preview this soon.

I've got a couple of videos I use that make the tearing/jitter obvious, e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RvIbVmCOxg (you can get a .mp4 too which eliminates the browser as a possible cause)

sadly I can see the jitter/tearing, vs. on Windows where it's perfect

(with 4k or higher frame rates it's far more obvious)
It kind of makes sense for a cloud to form above a lake.

On another tangent, I wonder if it would be possible to make an un-warrantable cloud? Would it be feasible to create a distributed cloud within the borders of the US or another industrialized country which doesn't actually exist at a particular address?
Why are advances like this always presented as useful in a medical context?

Eh, there are a number of strong personalities involved in all three projects, and they all have their own priorities. So some kind of split was a natural outcome.

As a consequence, all three projects have their own focus (formed in part by the existence of the other projects), and that's good too.
Perspective. This is what I feel the book was trying to tell government employees:
'This is a great job. You will move up and never get fired, just don't do anything too bad or we will whip you with a wet noodle... it will be oh so horribly humiliating... you might even get a suspension (read paid vacation) or worse'

Here's how I was reading it:
'oh my god, if I did that as a small business owner I would be jailed, sued and have a criminal record... my business assets would be frozen, I'd possibly be charged with money laundering or wire fraud or some other vague laws... what do you mean 'possible suspension' for government employees doing that?
R + ggplot2 was the road I took and taught my students. There are other good tools indeed.
This is why these threads can be frustrating for juniors with no experience. Yeah sure, if you have ten years of on the job experience you can refuse companies that make you do take home tests. If you have zero years then it's a lot harder. My hit rate for interviews has been about 1/20 for actual interviews per sent job applications. If there's a coding challenge and it gets me to the next round so be it.

Interestingly the studies that support your opinion came to false and misleading conclusions due to bias as well as weak and inconsistent data, much like the comments supporting your opinion

Somehow, neither Facebook, nor Amazon, Netflix, Google nor Microsoft give home assignments as a prerequisite for entering into the process.

I can assure you there is no shortage of candidates willing to work for any of them that would take the assignment in a heartbeat.

I can assume the reason they are not giving assignments is what I stated, the hiring process is extremely expensive and it makes absolutely no sense to do stuff that does not give any useful information but may prevent you from ever reaching top candidates that will not let themselves be subjected to this.

The coding assignment has a purpose and the purpose is not to tell if you are world class developer but assure you meeting minimum requirement to be considered for the position. If you give it as home assignment there will be tons of people willing to cheat like getting somebody to do it for you and then explain the solution so that you might pass cursory inspection. Or people who will take inordinate amount of time and spend 50 hours instead of expected 30 minutes you said should be enough.

There is no excuse, the time you spend explaining the assignment and reviewing the results would be better spent setting up a coderpad session (https://coderpad.io/) where you can actually see the person work on the solution and not only the solution itself. Where you can ask questions and have understanding of whether the person is able to solve the problem analytically or writes stuff at random until he finds solution by trial and error.
