I recently (like, a year or two ago) got onto a slack group that's just maybe a dozen people, all of us men in our late thirties to early fifties, and man, it's nice. You forget in this era of very large social media sites how small, closed groups feel. Reminds me of corners of the internet 20 years ago.

Love to hear more about exactly what is more scriptable and customizable.

The user scripts (not to be confused with Greasemonkey-like userscripts) gives me all the scriptability I need. What could more could I do with luakit?
Why would Von Neumann probes make silent, sharp, right angled turns at impossible speeds with no visible thrust, defying the known laws of physics. It can't be evidence of aliens if it isn't even possible.
"Why not" turns out to have quite an expensive answer (both in silicon and runtime latency). If you just cipher using a standard algorithm like AES then performance isn't great, but adding integrity protection to it further slows that down. Of course, you can use a lighter cipher, but then you don't have the years of cryptanalysis that gives everyone some assurance.

I think the jury is still out on AMD SME and Intel TME in terms of their respective performance hits.
There's actually schemes to detect stealth aircraft through the changes in signal strength they induce in cell phones below their flight path. Not precise enough for targeting, but good enough to put up a plane to confirm...
Well, the whole article reads like a hasty generalisation to me, but in an effort to avoid being trite . . . The author's generalisation is that society (i.e. everyone) doesn't respect authors over 70 and characters over 70 (and by extension, people over 70). Yet, he goes on to give examples of celebrated authors over 70 and celebrated stories where the main characters are over 70, leaving his argument where, exactly?

I've no doubt that some "young" people disrespect "old" people simply because they are "old." By the same token, some "old" people disrespect "young" people simply because they are "young." This is nuts. Respect people who are worthy of respect regardless of age (conversely, sadly, many people don't do much worthy of respect, again regardless of age). Back to my original comment: can we just stop with this kind of generational pot shots?
Any organization that bought into JEE is probably willing to pay Oracle's license fees. That being said, I've literally never seen an org that preferred JEE to Spring and that includes numerous massive enterprises.
From a UX point of view I don’t know why tools don’t have these two features:

1. “Warning, a critical method for verifying authenticity is set to expire in X days. Please visit <Y> to update now.”

2. “A critical verification certificate has expired; while you should immediately go to <Z> to obtain an update, you may defer authentication for up to 5 more days.”

...or in other words, why can’t tools cut us some slack on either side of a deadline? Security for most things is not going to fall apart just by giving people a little room to deal with issues on their own schedule.
I’m stunned that a business of this size would still be using Heroku.

Heroku’s sweet spot (to me at least) is for anyone with less than 3-4 servers. After that, it just becomes so expensive there’s no rationalization in the world that makes sense.
If you watch the videos in the article interviewing crew members, they express great doube that these were sensor anomalies. They mention replacing equipment, doing several re-calibrations, and that the detections were multi-spectral and even corroborated on separate craft and sensor packages.

I'm a former military avionics dude who worked on systems like this, including "black" stuff. I don't believe in extraterrestrials having visited Earth.

Their explanations sound pretty on-target and baffling.

But anyway, they address the concerns you bring up rather well.
I need this in my life. To just idle in a room with people and talk about whatever. Where do I find this kind of thing?

One of my favorite quotes of Sir Francis Bacon:

"that whosoever hath his mind fraught with many thoughts, his wits and understanding do clarify and break up, in the communicating and discoursing with another; he tosseth his thoughts more easily; he marshalleth them more orderly, he seeth how they look when they are turned into words: finally, he waxeth wiser than himself; and that more by an hour's discourse, than by a day's meditation"

It is often paraphrased today as, "I learn more in an hour's discourse than in a day's meditation."

You're reinforcing my point: If all this information is out there, and the only people actually completing it are those who have already gone through a degree program... maybe this shit's relatively hard to learn on your own? Maybe there should be some kind of institution, where completing a course of study awards some kind of certificate... crazy talk??

It was said of of {Gauss, Newton, Euler - I forgot who} that he made his way by Euclid's Elements by simply reading until he did not understand, then thinking until he understood, then returning, until he had gone through the whole thing by himself. I am not Newton. Neither are you. Neither is almost anyone.

It turns out that learning is something of a team sport, and is best accomplished (for the vast majority of humanity) in some kind of structured environment, and that we respond better to people than to screens of videos. Who knew...!
Perhaps there's a magic number which is the unemployment rate in a healthy economy[0], and when you get close to that magic number then competition has a much greater effect. If you think the magic number is very small, say 2%, then the choice between U1, U3, and U6 obviously affects whether you've hit it or not.

They may be US drones. If some stealth technology needs to be field tested, flying around a carrier group on a training mission is a good way to do it.

Something like the XQ-58A Valkyrie combat drone or the BQM-167A target drone. Those are unclassified and have performance beyond what most manned aircraft can do. There are probably others that are still classified.
Biochemical Individuality by Roger Williams [1] is an amazing read. It discusses a wide variety of "unusual" human physiological characteristics, including bones that only occur sometimes.

One hears the refrain "everyone is unique". The thing is, technically you can say "every factory made part is unique" at some level. But humans are much more unique on many more different levels, than any human-made-machine (things like bone density or blood saltiness vary widely. Indeed, very few measures are uniform for everyone).

The remarkable thing is how the different parts of a living thing can still function well with that capacity to vary.

Well, if I look at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_h... per capita is almost double to many European countries.

But even then comparison is hard, since treatments etc. differ.

All just to say that is complicated and comparison is hard. And true, it can financially be beneficial to get a good education in Europe and the go to make some money. Tusk's issue however is that digital world is important and US has a big leap and control.

The risk you describe is real, but good testing coverage lowers it in a way that I find way more efficient than static type checking. When I have that good coverage - which for me means the full pyramid of testing, not just unit tests - I almost never find that problem.

Refactoring when you change your understanding of the domain can be a lot of work also when you have dynamic typing and lots of tests, but if the tests are well designed, I rarely feel that as painful as it was when I felt I was battling with the type system.

PS: my main experience with static typing was with c++, it's possible that more modern type systems could have improved the situation.

Apache Groovy really improved on Beanshell (by adding closures, in 2003), which is what improved on Java (by adding dynamic typing, in late 1990's).
Nominal wages are almost completely irrelevant, that is why real wages exist as a concept.

Inflation is slippery but arguing that nominal wages matter is pushing it too far. The official inflation rate is a polite fabrication in the sense that strictly speaking there aren't a lot of people who experience the official inflation rate in a year. But it is measuring an all too real effect that needs to be factored in to everything to have a serious debate about what is happening in the real world. I'm not even sure how to rebut the idea because I don't know any arguments in favour of using nominal wages over real that aren't straw man arguments.

> And these days prices are not moving much and it is recognised that it is very important that they go up, a lot, for those at the bottom.

I'm not totally sure I'm reading this right, but I assume you mean nominal prices for people who are poor. If so, this is a horrible idea. Nobody but nobody should want to raise the real or even nominal cost of living for poor people. It is obviously a brutal thing to do, and as a social group they don't command enough money to get a worthwhile effect from squeezing them.
Why have credentials anywhere outside of the .aws directory in your home directory? When developing locally all of the SDKs will read them from there and when deploying to AWS, the SDK will get them from the attached role.
This is cool! I've recently been playing with streaming local audio to another system (a raspberrypi with a dac). I tried Pulseaudio's builtin way of streaming, but lag was pretty bad. I found JACK[0] to work well (<20ms) once I got it configured correctly. Kind of a complicated setup (including getting it all to be "automatic", systemd unit files and all, realtime kernels, etc), and not particularly stable. Unfortunately the latency makes up for it.

> we tend to actually lose agency while angry, but internally I think we actually believe we have dramatically increased agency in the moment

I mean, we do have increased agency, in a certain sense: we are far better at doing (or, at least, motivating ourselves to do, and keeping our executive functioning pointed toward doing without distractions) the things that "we" want to do when angry.

It's just that both the things "we" want when angry (our preferences), and the mechanisms "we" use to achieve those goals, aren't the same preferences and mechanisms we'd use normally. They're a subset, the parts of you that don't require any conscious deliberation to enact. Whatever parts of "you" are entirely implemented by conscious thought, those parts are temporarily excluded from the definition of the agent "you" when "you" are angry.

In the "Elephant and Rider" metaphor for thinking, when the rider steps off the elephant and lets the elephant run, the elephant becomes much better at doing elephant things. It isn't necessarily much better at doing "rider-and-elephant-as-system" things; it's probably worse at those. But if you need a pure-elephant solution to a problem, getting off the elephant can help.

In martial arts, for example, conscious deliberation is never desired. The rider is never as good at micromanaging the elephant's movements as the elephant is at moving itself. "You"—the rider—want to train "yourself"—the elephant—to move this way reflexively; such that, in a real fight, you can let loose the elephant, and the elephant can solve your problem.
I've heard Brene Brown call anger a "catalytic" emotion. It's supposed to tell us when we've been wronged or something is harmful to us in the environment, but then it's then up to us to step back, evaluate the situation rationally, and figure out exactly what's wrong and what can we do to remove ourselves from the harmful situation. In other words, anger's supposed to be a spur to action: if you just sit their stewing, you are missing the point. And if you just impulsively react, you're heeding the anger but probably not taking the most effective course you could be.

As I've said below, I should have been clearer that I do take the train rather than drive. My point was more about the calculations that don't make sense, and until those change in tandem with more investment in public transport (and yes, sort out those stupidly confusing fare structures on National Rail) we'll be treading water (literally, in London). I wouldn't really care if only rich people drove in London, if they paid enough to make a difference to public transport for everyone else. Even if they didn't the much cleaner air might be worth it.

There are stations like the ones you're suggesting. Forest Hill has free on-street parking less than five minutes from the station, but that would increase journey time significantly with the switch to another mode of transport with family in tow, and make a day trip much less feasible.

Fair point about some things not being possible though. Better to reduce the number of people travelling if it means a much cleaner, healthier London. I've even considered trying to commute to London from Brighton via bike during the summer, staying a night with a friend and riding back the next afternoon... That would be much nicer if I didn't feel like I was inhaling exhaust fumes for half the journey.
Extremely scared, especially in light of barriers to drug approval killing off interest in antibiotics development. Just take a look at what happened to Achaogen: http://www.bioworld.com/perspectives/2019/04/24/a-decade-of-...

The FDA granted Fast Track designation for their antibiotic, only later refuse to approve it for use in bloodstream infections due to quibbling over study size (which was admittedly smaller than it could have been, largely in part due to the Fast Track designation). The antibiotic has been relegated to on-label use for complicated UTIs. Though it can still be used off-label, this isn't enough to attract further investment or keep sales strong enough to sustain ongoing operations. Achaogen was forced to lay off nearly all staff, and is now entering bankruptcy.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is hardly unique among early stage pharma companies focusing on antibiotics, and it's steering investors away from such companies. It's also driving pharma professionals away.

I'm surprised the article doesn't reference the recent Bob Lazar documentary which deals with this alleged tech from a first-hand perspective (Bob was a whistleblower in a lab that worked on a kind of gravity drive, according to him.)

Filesystem with a GIL, what could possibly go wrong? /s
The article neglects one of my most important use cases for a debugger: figuring out how an undocumented piece of legacy code works. For example, if I perform a particular action in the UI, does function foo() get called? I find that setting breakpoints and tracing execution and variable changes in a debugger is an effective way of doing this kind of reverse engineering.

Also, when you're working with code that takes a long time to compile and link, using a debugger to check program state can be a lot quicker than recompiling the code with added print statements.

Different developers work with different types of code in different environments, so just because Linus Torvalds or Rob Pike does something one way doesn't mean that this is the most effective way for everyone else to do it.

This article is mostly just wondering aloud and not looking for explanations.

Explanation will of course be multicausal, but one reason for very low unemployment is this: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LFWA64TTUSM647S

As the growth of working age population gradually stops, there will be almost full employment because demand (old retired people and their benefits) will grow relative to amount of workers.
This is a point where reasonable humans can disagree. There's a middle ground that includes enough current practice to get you an entry level job + enough of the theory to ensure you can continue learning efficiently over the course of your career.

> There is absolutely zero gain, once again, for the moderately intelligent, motivated student, in terms of learning from going to a college vs. a motivated, well-thought self-study.

One autodidact thinks: "No need to go to college and pay all that money; I can learn it all on my own". Some actually put in the effort to do so and do quite well in their lives.

Another autodidact thinks: "Holy ____, there are facilities, equipment, and educated experts here that I could never hope to get access to on my own! If I use my autodidact ability to take advantage of this huge concentration of knowledge resources, I can not only learn the basic stuff in the classes but a whole bunch of advanced topics besides." These people go on to work on what people refer to as "interesting problems" at FAANG-level technology companies and have fun doing it, not to mention being paid amazingly well.

Choose wisely, autodidacts.
Show HN: Django REST Access Policy – Declarative, IAM-Like Permissions
I wanted to share a Django REST package for permissions/access control:
https://github.com/rsinger86/drf-access-policy

There are some other great packages out there for permissions, but I wanted one that allowed defining access rules in a declarative, JSON syntax, similar to AWS IAM. I also wanted all access control logic for a given resource, or set of resources, to be in a single place.

I hope this will be useful for other Django Rest Framework users and I welcome any feedback.

Anger is extremely useful - as are all other emotions. They are all motivators, impetus, etc. They get you going in a general direction which in many cases the outcome is what you desired when the impulse first hit you but it's only a general direction, there's always path to sate the desires that bubble up with minimal damage to things you care about.

Your emotions will always serve a purpose, you just have to control them and think about what you really want.
There were a decent number of couples who met online, before meeting online meant a dating site. There were BBSes, Usenet, and some early discussions sites. I'm sure people could compile a surprisingly large list of ways people met. A few years later, I even met my wife on LiveJournal, before that went weird(er). So while someone certainly could do a documentary on such things, I don't think any specific couple from that era should be holding their breath for it.
