My guess is the older brother was named by the younger brother, the Enlightenment. They were "dark" because they were fundamentally anti-enlightenment; further it was hard to see through them to the classical period as they tried to burn most of those books. Personally, I think it's a fine name. The inquisition! What a show!

However much opposition misrepresents what they see, it give matters some scrutiny, and that results in others' involvement.

The big problem at the moment, as I understood things, actually is that opposition is not doing its job by publicly calling out BS when it sees it at the local governance level.

At GitLab we use Fastly and we’ve been very happy with their service. It was fast to implement and greatly helped to speed things up. As a fellow Commercial Open Source Software (COSS) company I think it is cool that they are based on Varnish.

The data gets encrypted, but its not deleted. Although I guess I was wrong in saying Apple can help - they wouldn't/can't unlock the device for you - but I'd probably still ask them what my options are.
> All these "configuration management" tools like Puppet, Chef, SaltStack, Ansible etc. are pretty much just to avoid shell scripts and interactive ssh.

That's only true if your only use of the shell is for configuration, which isn't really intended to be the case. The shell was meant for any use of the computer, not just configuration. For example, I use ssh/scp when I copy some music files from my computer to my phone, or mpv when I want to play some music files. Indeed, I use the shell for nearly everything.
Even so, you can write code imperatively in scheme, it's just a bit less natural. The keyword 'begin' has the same semantics as common lisp's 'progn', which allows imperative code to be written.

And independent testing really makes a difference, I am trying to introduce automated testing into my company at the moment, they still spend a month with buttons and lights testing a safety system.

I have been getting blank looks when I ask how they test for single scan events like this. But I know of several industrial incidents resulting from common single scan software design failures in safety systems (usually order of execution issues, but sometimes the flitter logic of oneshots is the cuplrit).

One single scan incident in particular was from equipment in service for over 10 years, and then the stars suddenly aligned and the resulting software failure event ended up costing a big miner well over a billion dollars.
Counterpoint: Podcasts can have an immediacy about them that the written word can't compete with.

I'm not talking about the long-form "Serial"-type or magazine "This American Life" style podcasts. Those are very scripted and rehearsed. Rather, I'm talking about a lot of the topical shows I listen to.

Having a few people with chemistry discussing their topic, where they can riff and improvise and be themselves, can be incredibly interesting in the way the written word can't.

I think the BMW i3 struck a good balance with futuristic looks. It's just different enough to be noticeable, but not so different to appear impractical or off-putting.
I've been following Apple for years and don't recall widespread reports of what I'm sure would have gleefully reported in the press as "Buttongate"; that some home buttons failed prematurely isn't in and of itself a convincing argument for Apple's active malevolence, given that we're talking about, what, ~200M units? In those numbers, 99.99% of the switches could have no problems at all and there would still literally be tens of thousands of failures.

Maybe Apple shipped faulty switches knowingly. But they're also an awfully big juicy target for less scrupulous lawyers.
Article 7 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child asserts that everyone has a right to know their genetic origin.

Intentionally depriving someone of that right through anonymous donation is unethical.

Wanting to stay anonymous has a harmful effect on the actual human beings being created here - I can cite research and/or hundreds of anecdotal conversations and relationships I have had with real-life people conceived this way.

No, of course. But I'm defending HN, not Amazon. Had your comment been pro-Amazon the moderation would be the same.

You broke the site guidelines by accusing the commenter of posting in bad faith and by making a serious allegation in a snarky, drive-by way. If you're going to address that sort of issue on HN, your comment needs to lose those qualities and contain more information. That's true regardless of how correct your view is.
I first ran into this theory in the only "alchemy" book (as in, I have no idea what it's actually about) where the author seemed immensely intelligent. Of course, I was too lazy to actually research any of his claims, but he was pretty eloquent:

"Paradoxical in its manifestations, disconcerting in its signs, the Middle Ages proposes to the sagacity of its admirers the resolution of a singular misconception. How to reconcile the unreconcilable? How to adjust the testimony of the historical facts to that of medieval
art works?

The chroniclers depict this unfortunate period in the darkest colors. For several centuries there is nothing but invasions, wars, famines, epidemics. And yet the monuments ---
faithful and sincere witnesses of these nebulous times --- bear no mark of such scourges. Much to the contrary they appear to have been built in the enthusiasm of a powerful inspiration of ideal and faith by a people happy to live in the midst of a flourishing and
strongly organized society.

Must we doubt the veracity of historical accounts, the authenticity of the events ... they report, and believe along with the popular wisdom of nations, that happy peoples have no history? Unless, without refuting en masse all of history, we prefer to discover the justification pf medieval darkness in the relative lack of incidents. Be that as it may, it remains undeniable is that all the Gothic buildings without exception
reflect a serenity and expansiveness and a nobility without equal. If, in particular, we examine the expression of statues, we will quickly be edified by the peaceful character,
the pure tranquility that emanates from these figures. All are calm and smiling, welcoming and innocent. "

I think they are actually apples to apples when you consider that the apples are 'attention' and that we live in an attention economy where every piece of media is trying to maximize the time you spend with it. So what he's saying is that your attention is being wasted on shitty podcast, instead of trying to find good unheard music. I disagree with this, because I find that knowledge should get more attention than art/entertainment. But that's not to say that there aren't shitty time-wasting podcasts, but you can say the same about music.
Middle Ages? Or is that an even broader period?
Hmm, I think there's no "machine learning" here. There's a human hard-coding some thought process, using mostly some simple statistics/thresholds to e.g. define what a "fur texture" looks like.
It's different in Europe I guess. As far back as I can remember you buy the ticket whenever and check-in at the counter or online 24h before the flight to pick a seat.

But this won't help even when the airline gives you information about the plane used (not buried in menus, not hidden by services they try to sell you, etc.) if on the day of the flight they switch. And if the price is indeed dragged down by the choice of plane then you can bet the info will disappear completely and/or plane switching will happen as a rule, not an exception. Can you honestly underestimate an airline's willingness to squeeze money from passengers?
It is great product. But there are few compromises:

1. Thermals. Apple prioritized silence over performance. So they like to run cpus at high temperatures and start fans only than it is absolute necessary. It limits cpu clocks and performance. And although it has great cooling solution it worse than it could be that if it was just standard desktop.
And it uses intel cpus that are pretty hot because they use older technology node.

2. CUDA. There are no nvidia support for Mojave if i am not mistaken. So there isn't support for CUDA. It should make some stuff very hard or impossible. For example ML training.

3. Price. It is very expensive. Hackintosh build including great monitor with intel + amd gpus will be twice as cheap.
It's impossible to touch it and know that I actually landed on the key. Since most of my typing is by feel, I need to know that I landed on the key. Often my typing is seconds ahead of the display, and always behind of the decision making logic in my brain.

I'm a vi user. I thought that maybe with a few months of just trusting the location on the touch bar that I'd get used to it. After all that 'training' I can land on the key about 90% of the time, which is about 9.9999% not close enough. And certainly I cannot consistently land on it with any other finger than the left ring finger when coming directly from the home row. My hands aren't always consistently on the home row, so that's also a problem.

I have come to like the touchbar. But the Esc key needs to be promoted to a real key. Tactile response matters.

Reality depends on the market one is subject to.

But in my own reality, My tangible options were:
1. Pay upfront and study endless hours for a whiteboard interview + hours with phone screening + day spent onsite.
2. On-demand take home challenges (vary from 1-2 days, depending on the company)
3. 1-week payed project with presentation at the end
4. Some cocktail mix of the above

Unless you know the founder, senior managers, or have built rapport with most of the engs of a company, I never been able to push back, not even in markets where the demand was extremely high.

These are good questions to ask of any union IMO. Workers wouldn't join a union they felt didn't advance their interests (and anecdotally, there's gotta be a reason union members are crazy about unions, right?) So this is good to investigate.

Perhaps purporting to look out for the interests of an entire nation is too broad for any one organization. Some questions about your assignment of responsibilities that I think will clear things up: what if, hypothetically, the government was run by a ruling class who would leverage your need for income, healthcare, etc., in order to make you build things you didn't want to build? And specifically speaking of surveillance technology, what if you suspected they were building these tools for other countries as a trial run to later use on their own citizens? It's not that far-fetched.

Otherwise, I think you have some great questions to ask of any union you're considering to represent you. But you're also representing them -- if you felt like you wouldn't get a say in what collective actions were taken, that's not a union I'd encourage you to work with. I specifically mentioned mine because I know their track record and philosophy and would like to see more of it. There's no hierarchy, no inaccessible higher realm of bureaucrats making the decisions, it's workers all the way down! Ask your local branch about it. Although there are often differences in opinion, bullying or harassing workers is not tolerated.

Will it immediately and permanently improve your life? This ain't a fad diet and I won't market it like one, it's a chore sometimes honestly. I don't go to meetings and pay dues because I love it all the time. But I've seen results, and seen how much those in power want to keep us from realizing our collective ability to win some of their power through organizing. And I think you'll agree that the trajectory we're currently on is grim. Think it over.

Indeed, we do need some meat. With that said, Americans would be wise to eat more organ meat: often very healthy, and contains micronutrients we can't get elsewhere. Some of these include things we simply can't synthesize ourselves. We do need meat, though we would be wise to consume more of the whole animal, both to minimize waste and get healthier.

> They were widely hated for mailing people fake tickets for minor infractions that were not a safety hazard at all, like slowly rolling through a right turn with no other traffic in the vicinity.

You meant to say “real tickets”, right, since you described someone actually breaking the law — and I've seen many, many times where “no other traffic” meant “no other traffic which the driver saw, correctly understood, and respected”. I've had a few close calls in crosswalks and there's nothing fake about it.
Most of the time historians use the phrase 'Dark Ages', nowadays, they mean the time from roughly the mid-sixth century to about Charles Martel, where there are only a handful of written and architectural records remaining, almost all from the margins of Europe. His examples are mainly before or after that time period.

But even accepting his much more broad time period - and one of his examples is more than 100 years after the time period he himself defined at the beginning - he offers very little evidence that isn't extremely well known to anyone with a passing knowledge of that time period. Plus, his examples are literally hundreds of years apart. It's pretty disingenuous to claim the society that produced the tomb of Childeric I is the same society that produced some paintings roughly 800 years later.

Ah, yes. Maybe we could call it The Ministry of Thought.
I think the emphasis on faults and limits rather than on the peak of the bell curve (where 'normal' people reside) is the hallmark of critical thinking in general.

Circumspection isn't a 'dark' perspective per se, but one that deliberately resists 'going with the flow', which is assumed by all promotional efforts like PR and advertising. The conventional 'embracing of the light' is inseparable from groupthink, IMHO.

Any excess of optimism or advocacy raises my inner defenses and sets off alarm bells. In this, The Age Of The Internet, that thinking isn't 'dark'; it should be common sense. But it's all too uncommon, I fear.

Don't ever trust anyone to keep your sensitive data encrypted by default. Make sure you get something like TrueCrypt (open source, tested by a large segment of population, security experts from open source segment, etc) that is truly secured and don't have any backdoors, and use that to lock-up your data in a encrypted container. Make backups in cloud of those containers and sleep like a baby.
Saying that C++ won't "save" us is already pretty emotional and, put simply, wrong. We are not really facing imminent doom or anything that would justify that word, other than an overemotional point of view, biased by personal feelings.

Pop music critic comes out against podcasts, in part because they aren't well produced.

Yet, what's really killing pop music, at least in part, is that so much of it, to my ears, is now an exercise in production techniques than it is about the music being produced. Ultimately, that "sounding right" is also simply an extension of fashion statement. True, that fashion in pop music has been more important than the actual music for a long time, but over the decades the music part of this has been diminishing in importance.

And frankly, it's pretty boring stuff out there these days mostly because of that emphasis on production values over the content. Everything is so homogeneous; yeah, old guy talking here, but I'm not exactly locked into a generation or genre in what I do choose to listen to, either...

I'm not a big podcast fan, either, though there are a couple I listen to if I have drive time. Still, much of that world, and some YouTube efforts, just seem so much more genuine to me.

Anyway, I think a pop music critic should likely be thinking about what's wrong with pop music that makes podcasts appealing by comparison rather than having sour grapes about a format that clearly is comparatively more desirable, regardless of what faults it may or may not have.

> looking at the source, though - I'm not sure I want to go there - [Scheme] looks like a mashup of Pascal, Lisp, and RPN

Cool, you got to discover Scheme today! It's one of the classical languages that defines the programming world we live in.

> data science and deep learning in general has pretty much "blessed" Python and C++ as the languages for such tasks.

It's reasonable to expect that the languages a community uses for its programs bear some proportionality to the broader programming community unless you have a very severe historical isolation of that community (i.e., MUMPS in medical informatics). Python and C++ are extremely common languages. You should expect the usual long tail of other languages as well. And under the hood, it's really all about CUDA anyway.
> From a random blog, yes. From a good blog, no.

It's perhaps also worth noting that blogs and professional journalism aren't actually distinct anymore.

At one end, news organizations started hosting blogs under their main domains, often not clearly identified as such. The bloggers get big-name prestige and the appearance of being contracted journalists, the news orgs get free content and click-attracting stories that can be disclaimed if they're inaccurate or improper.

At the other end, Vice News has multiple Peadbody awards. Emptywheel exists. Notable, award-winning journalists like Marcy Wheeler and Nate Thayer publish on their own sites, without editors, then link up with news orgs later to publish books or take contracts for specific stories. (And, yeah, sometimes those people break completely with journalistic practice. Wheeler outed a source, then gave a detailed account of her ethical justification. Thayer may or may not be completely off the deep end.) Neither of them works for a major outlet, but both of have worked for major outlets, so it's hardly clear how to score either the positive or negative aspects of that.

Comparing the Washington Post to a blog is hard to do, because there's no particular guarantee that the two are on different sites, or by different authors.
You keep saying that I have a sampling bias, but there really isn't any evidence for that. I'm sampling 100% of the population. You can't have a sampling bias when sampling 100% of the population.

If you have fully defined what your software will do up front, then you are finished when have made it do what you said it would.

Safety critical software is usually designed, built and tested to the V-model.

When done properly every piece of logic/code can be traced back to a requirement through all steps and phases of development and testing.

There is no "move fast and break things" in the safety instrumented field, the engineering hours per byte/instruction delivered would absolutely flabbergast most software devs, by many orders of magnitude.
You have no proof of that. They are both VPs. Once you have a certain level of authority, you don’t get to shift the blame.
