>So... my business school covered all of that. Probability, statistics, linear algebra, diffeq... and yes, boolean algebra in the context of gradient descent. Even Markov chains and neural nets. Needless to say, there was a lot of math.

That's an incredibly rare thing. To date, the only systematic exception to the above rule I've encountered have been from certain European schools (mostly French: HEC, ESSEC, etc) that have a math-heavy prep-school curriculum to get in.

From what I've seen though, this is very much exceptional.
Most channels of open source projects seem very constructive and helpful to this day. I also like lurking on #xkcd. There are still some low traffic channels of traditional communities (you know, those running on their own domain with something like phpbb) where I've known people for ages and still frequently have conversations about nothing and everything.

It's just never been that discoverable as a standalone medium, like connecting to a server and then finding a good channel. That just doesn't happen.
That's a strawman because the shriekingly-obvious difference is ease of facilitation. With Docker, it's a mere couple of commands to pull a box and run it. Docker weakens trust because it lets anonymous people, as well as trusted ones, upload images that can be immediately run... but without a proper chain-of-custody, QA or assurance that an image hasn't been manipulated on Docker's side. It's spray-and-pray DevOps. Image integrity has to be solved on Docker's side with end-to-end integrity or it's all for naught... this is something that cannot be solved within a container or separate from Docker, it must be universal, mandatory and trustworthy.
Well, in general you can also ignore people on IRC, you can ban people from channels, and some IRCds support restricted DM permissions which require a user to share channels with you and be _validated_ to message you.

We don't have these sorts of controls in Slack because it's built to support companies with Human Resource departments. Communities like ours don't give the Slack shareholders value.

So in some ways it's worse than IRC.
Isn't it a beauty of capitalism that a product can be made by a white supremacist furry pedophile elf manchild and nobody has to care about it as long as they stay a productive member of society and don't threaten anyone?
Libraries off Github literally have the source available for you and the community at large to vet. And you'll find almost no sane shop on the planet where people are allowed, hell encouraged to use shady distros or install random utility tools in production the way they are encouraged to pull unchecked binary blobs from Docker Hub in an often non-reproducible manner.
Exactly. Except the USPS doesn't share revenue with me.

“Digital” quantum gates on superconducting quantum processors are implemented by changing the system Hamiltonian (by e.g. changing the magnetic flux through the qubit Josephson junction loop or driving the qubits with microwave radiation), so in that sense those quantum processors are analog. Most current quantum algorithms require a series of discrete operations to be performed (e.g. the Grover search is basically a for loop that executes a phase-encoding search function and a diffusion operator in each step), so they require a specific gate set to run them. That said researchers also used superconducting quantum processors to simulate other quantum systems using an analog approach, which is often more efficient than using a digital approach (so-called Trotter based quantum simulation), so both techniques are relevant I’d say.

It's not ionizing radiation AND it's low power. Stop spreading baseless FUD hysteria.
I think that's a significant part of it, but there's also fashion to consider. It's hard to make a lot of money in games unless you're chasing the latest fashions in graphics, design, content, console, etc. There are a fair number of indie developers who have chosen to avoid all of that and spend multiple years slowly growing a community around the development of a very different kind of game. A good example would be Wube Software and their game Factorio (factorio.com). They've spent the last six years working on the game (making it available as early access that whole time) and talking to the fans about it as they go. Compare that to a studio who spends three years working on FIFA 2018, releases it, and then immediately signs a contract to spend three years working on FIFA 2021.

Both situations are bad, and people are upset over Docker Hub. It just happens to be Friday night so it's not getting as much attention.

NPM is bad because the Javascript ecosystem is fast-moving with loose builds that have thousands of dependencies that are all bundled and run insider consumer's browsers.
The 50/60hz wiring radiation is a mild annoyance compared to 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi (I prefer 5Ghz because it seems to transfer less heat to my tissues); I sporadically use 4G on my phone so I don't need a permanent wifi installation in my room. Contrarily, I've found that staring into the sun, early in the morning for seconds up to a few minutes, is quite pleasant.

If 5G is much worse than 4G I'm literally getting lead-lined underwear. It's already a bother to keep my phone sufficiently far from my brain and balls while typing this comment.

According to Google Inside Search, only 1 in 3000 pages gets indexed. As content on Internet grows, the whole idea of downloading every single page to create an index of entire Internet in one place becomes unworkable. So we should see this ratio continue to degrade until this fundamental architecture is improved.
The cost of the audit is the main barrier.

Or to take it a step further, let me override which permissions I grant during the OAuth request.
Right, most of the APIs used are documented, but https://slack.com/api/users.admin.setInactive is not. There are some unofficial docs: https://github.com/ErikKalkoken/slackApiDoc/blob/master/user...

https://api.slack.com/methods/files.delete
https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.delete
https://api.slack.com/methods/search.files

To be clear: NOT recommending Slack. Just mentioning that we also have issues and some tooling has helped, the tools could use more docs but they're pretty simple and open source FWIW.
If that were true, they wouldn't index any long tail content at all. The reality is, predicting what is valuable is difficult, and the cost of storage is relatively cheap.

The sun does emit ionizing radiation, and that will hurt you with long-term, unprotected exposure, but worrying about non-ionizing radiation at very low-powers doesn't make sense when ionizing radiation from air-travel and radioactivity from concrete provide orders of magnitude more mutagenic micromorts than mobile signals ever will.
That's just partly true. From the Base Web website:

"Base Web is a set of reusable React components that implements the Base Web design language and can be used in two different ways:

To build an application that fully adopts the Base Web design language, you import and use Base Web components out of the box.

To build a new design system inherited from the Base, you take Base Web components and customize them through the Overrides mechanism.

If you are building an application using the Base Web design language (the first scenario), you should avoid further customization. This helps to keep the design of your application consistent and makes future upgrades easier."

Uber uses Base Web in both ways since there are some additional related design systems (historic reasons) and that's why a lot of effort was put into overrides.
In many settings, "release build" implies passing -DNDEBUG, which disables the asserts.

How is this github any different?
You have hit on a major problem there. Stack Overflow was once the fount of all useful genius grade knowledge, but times change and some of the top answers are plain wrong.

Take for example the 'how do I centre a div' type of question. You will get to find an answer with thousands of up-votes that will be some horrendous margin hack type of thing where you set the width of the content and have some counter intuitive CSS.

In 2019 (or even 2017) the answer isn't the same, you do 'display: grid' and use justify/align: center depending on axis. The code makes sense it is not a hack.

Actually you also get rid of the div as the wrapper is not needed if using CSS grid.

Now, if you try to put that as an updated answer you find there are already 95 wrong answers there for 'how do I center a div' and that the question is 'protected' so you need some decent XP to be able to add an answer anyway.

The out-dated answer meanwhile continues to get more up-votes so anyone new to HTML and wanting to perform the simple task of centering their content just learns how to do it wrongly. And it is then hard for them to unlearn the hack to learn the easy, elegant modern way that works in all browsers.

Note that the top answer will have had many moderated edits and there is nothing to indicate that it is wrong.

SO used to be amazing, the greatest website ever. But the more you learn about a topic the more you realise that there is some cargo cult copying and pasting going on that is stopping people actually thinking.

With 'good enough' search results and 'good enough' content most people are okay - the example I cite will work - but we are sort of stuck.

I liken Google search results to a Blockbuster store of old. Sure there are hundreds of videos to choose from but it is an illusion of choice. There is a universe of stuff out there - including the really good stuff - that isn't on the shelves that month.

Google are not really that good. They might have clever AI projects and many wonderful things but they have lost the ball and are not really the true trustees of an accessible web.
If you're looking for an alternative, some on this list are pretty good.

My guess would be that Isilon/OneFS is designed for file storage, instead of block storage, so having a block storage layer on top (like iSCSI) seems a little ungainly. Instead I expect Dell/EMC would prefer you investigate the VNX platform!

Edit: By "file storage", I'm talking about storage mounted using protocols like SMB and NFS.

If Github was compromised, it would be easy and obvious to insert malicious code in a repository, but hide those changes from anyone on the github website.

Non-ionizing radiation does not mean harmless radiation. Low power radiation could be quite harmful when exposure in 24x7 for long term. Power levels reduces probability of DNA damage but if exposure is long term then it’s cumulative effect.

People living near cell phone antennas have severe health issues and even phone companies don’t debate this. They are required to put health hazard warning around those antennas for certain perimeter and homes are not allowed to be built close to them. Unfortunately those limits are absolute bare minimum. There huge amount of “research” phone companies have funded to backup these minimum limits and no independent researchers would agree with it. For 5G, numbers of antennas are going to increase by 10X and if you live in city, there is very good chance you are not too far from it.

> I'm not even sure if Github's permission model supports adding only read access to private repositories.

Their newer GH apps permission model allows fine-grained access to only specific repos (and also only read access e.g.).
However their older Oauth flow only allows full access to everything. And 99% of GH integrations still seem to use the older authentication method.

This is also something that many CI providers suffer from. There are only few that already support GH apps.

Some of your frustration reflects how the use of "exploits" in the headline is, for lack of a better word, problematic. In the tech news context, "exploit" has the connotation (if not denotation) of a hack or bug being used in an unintended way.

In this case, the word "leverage" would be more appropriate.
GitHub provides a way for more granular third-party access: GitHub Apps. There, access can be set on a repository level [1]. E.g. Netlify can be configured as a GitHub app.

It seems like Docker Hub is implemented as an OAuth app [2], where these granular options are not available and you have to grant access to all your repositories.

Quite often this kind of instruments might be "tradable debt instruments" which can't be converted to actual bitcoins, but can be traded back and forth on the platform to traditional currencies. The issuing company maintains the peg to the bitcoin market value, probably using futures or similar instruments.

Of course they might also enable bitcoin withdrawals/deposits but I somewhat doubt it. There are similar offerings on other traditional platforms and usually they work this way.

While you're welcome to add whatever features you want to an external tool, for me the biggest appeal to Hacker News is that it has almost no features.

> It boggles the imagination that anybody is still clinging to Python 2 at this point in the game. I guess they have their reasons, but man, oh man... from an outsider perspective, this feels very questionable.

If you're running a company would you prefer to ask your developers to spend their time upgrading to Python 3 for mostly syntactical sugar or adding new features? Python 3 is a complete disaster. It's not a newer version of the language, it's an entirely different language.

Yep. React was adopted a long time ago and it is also now the "industry winner", so no complaining there. Styletron is also older - created more than two years ago.

However, CSS in JS is more controversial and there are some other more popular libraries now. We keep monitoring them and at the same time we are bringing the best features back into Styletron. Also, you could use BaseWeb+Styletron and some other CSS solution for everything else. It's not a big deal (Styletron has like 7kB). But all CSS in JS libs are very similar anyway.

So overall, Base Web was not a big tech switch, React and Styletron have been already widely used.

I'm not convinced that an idea (or a seed thereof) that is not formed well enough to be written down is ready for discussion with another person.

An idea that has navigated through the internal dialogue I have to engage in to put it to paper is much less a waste of your time.

And, if you want me to provide well thought-out feedback on your idea, don't ask me to respond to it in real time or in the timeframe of a meeting.

The ideal process for ideation may be informal and low-risk, but it is also asynchronous and via the written word (possibly with pictures).

Write down whatever you can about your problem or your idea and then send it to me, saying "what do you think?". I will read it at the time when I am most able to give it my full attention, cogitate for as long as I think necessary, and then reply with the best possible feedback.

Maybe some cases benefit from the rapid iteration that can happen in an oral conversation. But in my experience, most or all of those work just about as well with a rubber duck.
