It's a gem of an observation that newcomers to an environment often only make it to the first few rungs of the system complexity / actualization ladder. Once you look, you see this everywhere, and not just in IT but with any sort of design exercise or institutional process, any complex system that's full of Chesterton's fences, and people will either evolve to debate their rationale from a position of experience, or be selected (or self-selected) away into fresh environments where the novelty and discovery-until-discouragement can begin again.

It also shows that the first few rungs matter a lot; this is the territory of easy answers, where following a few simple rules leads to rapid productivity, and there will always be people for whom that level is good enough, either through carefully weighed decisions from limited information, or ignorance and deferment of future problems and their solutions. You can't solve everyone's problems for them, but you can try to evangelize, and you can try to build your system in a way that best practices can be incrementally adopted from existing fumblings. Anticipate that most of it will stay mediocre.

History is littered with systems that, in hindsight, seem to have offered sensible solutions to complex problems, yet didn't survive in the end. Much knowledge and wisdom is lost, and others independently discover it when trying to ascend an unrelated stack. Erlang/OTP is truly the sort of environment that masquerades as a programming language yet asks questions at a much higher conceptual level: what do we want systems as a whole to look like if we have to maintain them indefinitely? Its architectural innovations have been copied elsewhere, where they rarely form part of a coherent stack, but at least expose people to the advantages of its model. This may also be the most viable source of adopters of Erlang at higher levels: people who've sought out similar model for its benefits, and could thrive with an offering that pays attention to these concerns throughout.
I totally never thought of stats for forensic science being presented in a misleading way before like in your example but it completely makes sense. The odds of finding _any_ 1/100,000 match are incredibly high. Wow.

We don't leetcode. Our technical portions are coding and design. Coding is based on a real, recent thing the team or similar team has faced, distilled down to something that a team member should be able to do in about 15 minutes and the candidate gets 45 minutes. This gives time to ask and dig deeper in understanding. The design part involves designing a distributed system on a white board to achieve some kind of goal. We then talk about edge cases, failure modes, etc.

The rest of the interview portions are talking with someone about previous projects, how you have dealt with or would deal with given situations, what you've experienced so far, what you're looking to learn, etc.
Lately I buy all of my components at retail stores. Something about going and holding two different boxes and comparing the specs without any ratings or stars or "people also bought/looked at this" is more satisfying to me.

I have lived in places where there really were no computer parts stores anymore. I would be fine buying components online -- I'm not opposed to it -- it's just that I like to go shop in physical stores while there are still physical stores left where I can do that. :)
So what you're telling me is that laborer's see the unemployed as both competition for their jobs(if low-wage, unskilled laborers) or siphoning money from them (if high-wage, skilled laborers) and that politicians then play that disdain into successful creation of policy targeting these unemployed people which directly benefits management by creating a constant underclass which they can tap into at any time for low cost due to the desperation of these people?

I'm shocked.

Seems odd those 2 statements are in the same comment. How can you love a product that has such a big flaw in the basic workflow? For the record, I've never even heard of Mattermost until today, but just thought that was strange to read your comment.
The article conclusion is that picking the wrong parameters (prime numbers, e) leads to being vulnerable to many attacks.

You could test Intel's SVT-AV1 encoder and report any issues to them. SVT-AV1 will scale to as many cores as you can give it. It's still quite fragile and buggy, but in fairness it's only at version 0.6:

>The seven known persistent lava lakes are Mount Nyiragongo (DR Congo), Erta Ale (Ethiopia), Mount Erebus (Antarctica), Ambrym and Mount Yasur (Vanuatu), Kilauea (Hawaii) and Masaya (Nicaragua).

I’ve been to Masaya in Nicaragua twice but didn’t know it was one of only 7 with a free flowing lake. The cabs park facing the exit and keep their engines running. The place smells like fireworks and the second time we went it was really active.

As a side note, I can reccommend going to Guanacaste in Costa Rica and crossing the no mans land border to Nicaragua for a fun experience. Granda, Nicaragua is a wonderful town near the Volcano. Be on alert Nicaragua is not safe especially compared to Costa Rica.

Spend some time in Guanacaste and visit some towns. Experience the Pura Vida lifestyle!

The most annoying thing is when the reviewer doesn't recognise the complexity of some problem, and just insists on doing it in some "simple" way that doesn't solve the whole problem.

"Oh you spent 2 weeks figuring this solution out? Well here's my 2 minutes of naïve ideas..."
The list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_lake

Also, in geology a "lava lake" can also mean a water lake created by a lava flow, the cooled lava flow acting as a dam. Many of these exist in mountain valleys. They are dangerous as eventually the lava dams/plugs break down, releasing the lake.
==makes everyone spend money they don't actually have.==

So much for all that personal responsibility we used to hear so much about. Far easier to blame the government for everything.

Companies use credit to buy back stock because we deregulated that activity. It used to be that the government didn’t allow it. This point is actually a counter-point to your theory.
So those fired bankers will find themselves (un)gainfully unemployed for a long time... Do you know any career track that can use skills learned from Investment Bank(other than general salesman job)
Or, depending on your perspective, failing in a way that incentivizes users to jab things in the holes to try to "fix" it.

This is another reason I'm a fan of TRUE1: the moving parts are in the plug, not the socket.

This article has been discussed to death on HN. It's been posted 13 times by my count, the most recent of which was a mere 24 days ago! Is there some reason why we need to rehash it again, or is this just spam?

Actually, I support the opposite, which is aggressive initiatives for education to inoculate people against lies and manipulation.

However, until our resources are actually devoted towards that, there are political statements that can be made on a mass scale that are the functional equivalent of yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater. I don't begrudge people for doing what they can to prevent this kind of public manipulation from getting amplified.

I think everyone should be allowed to say whatever they want, but I think they should have to face responsibility for the results of that speech once it echoes across the world.
In a private scenario (i.e. most B2B usage), you can communicate the key through a different channel. One option would be to write it down on a piece of paper, and fly someone to the other business to deliver it. Now both sides have a copy of the key, and transmission is guarded by your trust in your employee to not skim the key.

Mail is another option, depending on how secure you think that is.
Agreed. Pair reviewing is great. Especially with people you don’t know that well. Once you know each other and trust each other the traditional review tools work better.
The specific tone of this post is purposefully bombastic to call attention to the fact that RSA is uniquely difficult to implement and utilize correctly. Newer cryptographic constructs use various methods to reduce the probability of incorrect implementation and improve misuse resistance. Are they perfect? Of course not! But we're improving all the time with signature algorithms like ed25519, NMR constructions like SIV, etc.

You can do that with a multi-stage build with the cached packages in your context, or you can spin up an http server with the files and ADD the URLs, or set an http proxy environment variable for apt in the container, or add your mirror to the image's apt repositories list. You could do all that with a docker compose file, too.
"Innocent" implies there is an injustice / crime of some sort taking place, but there is not in this case.
But I'll give you this one to start with:

As much as he thinks he and everyone else should own lots guns, Eric S Raymond has recently stated (2017) that he believes blacks are too unintelligent to own or to be trained to use guns:

>Unfortunately, this doesn't cover the BLM crowd, which would have an average IQ of about 85 if it's statistically representative of American blacks as a whole. I've never tried to train anyone that dim and wouldn't want to.
To say a few things that Fred isn't saying here (these are my opinions not his):

- Early Erlang tools had a lot of issues when Elixir showed up but rebar3 made quick progress and is a very good set of tools integrated into one command-line interface

- rebar3 has supported creating releases for a very long time which Elixir's mix tool is just catching up to (sure distillery supported things but so did relx and half a dozen other Erlang tools)

- rebar3 has built-in support for things like dialyzer which still require extra work to use from mix

- rebar3's _checkouts feature is very nice and has no good mix equivalent

- rebar3 offers a declarative configuration setup which makes it easier for other tools to integrate their data and read other data w/o requiring plugins to be loaded everywhere (and this is to say it still supports scripting where needed, which will still result in a declarative output)

- rebar3's version resolution system is more practical and puts the final control of version selection in the developer's hands rather than strictly package manager metadata which can lag or suffer unfortunate problems from version operators and unfortunate problems that come up from blind-semver adoption (this is a longer topic so I apologize for the poor summary here but I do think there is a good argument for rebar3's approach)

- rebar3 works and upgrades independently from Erlang/OTP releases allowing more fluid iteration whereas mix is very much locked to Elixir

I participate in the Elixir community and every time I hear the tooling story I think about all of the things I miss from Erlang tools when using Elixir. It'd be more accurate to say that Elixir has revitalized Erlang with a bit of competition and some diversity in background.

Either way, there is room for improvements in both camps. I hope Elixir's mix catches up with rebar3 in some of these areas and I hope Erlang doesn't ignore some of the caveats that are still around as given facts of life (perhaps getting better support for the wider set of BEAM languages would be a start so each doesn't need its own tool).
It naturally happened about 6-7 million years ago when the Straight of Gibraltar was naturally dammed then reconnected. It took an estimated 10,000 years to refill the Mediterranean. [0] From that we do know that it's probably not the best plan though. The water in the Med would become even saltier and might eventually completely stop supporting life.

R, S and A are real people (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) and I don’t think it is appropriate to say fuck them, even if the system they designed 40 years ago doesn’t hold up to today’s standards.
Of course I wasn't suggesting that we should all give up and live in caves or something. It's not a binary choice. I refuse to believe that the way our world, society, and lives currently work is the best it could possibly be, because it seriously sucks. There's got to be a way to improve and simplify the system incrementally.

Also, I dispute the idea that simpler societies have lower absolute quality of life in every way. Having lived part of my life with an isolated tribal society, there are definitely pros and cons. (A close knit community is one huge pro that I really really miss.) Instead of a blind "our complex systems are better just because they are" I think we should step back and take actual stock of the costs and rewards and really ask ourselves, for each individual thing, whether it's worth it.
I spent the summer of 2017 as an intern in the department of the interior. At the time, the white house was proposing to cut the DoI's budget by an order of magnitude. I went to a fascinating talk about how they strategize when faced with budget cuts. They don't just cut things from least to most important, they start by cutting things that have champions. For example, the first things on the chopping block at the time were Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay restoration, because those programs have champions in Congress who would fight to get them funded again. More obscure programs don't have that advantage, so if they get cut they're just gone.

Thank you, and I think I agree with everything you say. Yes, at steady state, as long as you don't complete a circuit, no current flows. Helicopters can be used to do live repairs on high voltage power lines, and if the pilot keeps the copter from running into anything, no one dies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgrN0fyDRsQ

Maybe what I've failed to make clear is that my real question is about the relative difference in safety of the isolated transformer as used in a "razors only" plug and the normal breaker protected outlets used in US houses. For both of them, you could stand on a dry wooden ladder and momentarily grab either wire. But the focuses on the increased safety of the isolated transformer. I'm trying to understand what exactly about this system provides for the increased safety.

From what I can tell, everything in your answer applies to both systems. It's the difference in safety between the systems that I don't feel I understand.
Compactness and cost must not part of "many measures" of "best"

Edit: Beat me to it on the compactness part.
Yeah, it's definitely not an airtight metaphor.
If you want to make this argument, first prove IQ measures genetic intelligence. Is that even a thing? Can someone with no education but genetic IQ be shown to be more intelligent than someone with a higher education and lower genetic IQ? This sounds absurdly easy to refute.

This test would also need to apply across cultures and communities.

Maybe you’re just playing devil’s advocate, but I can’t understand how anyone can make these arguments without serious scientific evidence.

We shouldn’t be making statements on entire groups of people with our beliefs. Also, people of color are genetically identical to those not of color.

The problem is that the reviewer often doesn’t have time enough time to really understand the problem. So you often end up making trivial comments because you don’t really understand what’s going on.
People forget that originally, Windows 95 was a resoure-hogging, performance-robbing, disaster of a gaming environment until Windows 98 or so.

...and these things happen far more than we realize. My "dad" wasn't my biological dad. He married my mother when I was four and he was the one who was there for me for my entire life, so much so that I've never even known (or cared to know, beyond a passing interest in my health history) who my biological father is.

One quirk of that is that my "dad" never formally adopted me. About a week before he passed away, we had one last time alone as a family before inviting friends & relatives for a last visit. During that, he mentioned that he regretted not officially adopted me. Thanks to several local folks, including a local lawyer, local probate judge, a city clerk in another state, and probably a couple more, were were able to complete the adoption and present my dad with the paperwork and an updated birth certificate that lists him as the father within four days.

With the Internet especially, we see the worst of the worst, but I personally feel that it's overwhelmed by the good, and stories like Michael's show the power to bring people together.
while elsewhere i asked the same question, this is of course the downside of a large network. on a large network such issues disappear in the noise, and people would have to make a very very good case to have the channel owners dethroned. on a small network such issues can be dealt with easier (although given the reason for leaving, and other comments about irc.perl.org it appears that that place was no better)

though there is still the option of creating a new channel with a different name, and inviting people over...

If the solutions presented all seem to be more regulatory capture and information/market asymmetry for the big companies with gov connections, I’d rather not.

The thing that has exploded in size since the 1960s no one talks about is the size of nation states across the western world and their direct involvement in countless markets. From education to big banks to defence contractors to Boeing, they are some of the worst examples of mixed state-capitalism and a great way to become wealthy while providing little value to the population.

Not to mention the explosion of private equity in gov projects leeching off tax payers. We need less mixing of the big players with gov force and have either public companies (ie public health insurance) or markets. The direction the US is going in by continually mixing the two has done little to help the “little guy”. Yet the markets and rich get all the blame, but there’s no way universities can charge 4-20x more for the same product without cheap gov backed debt, nor the housing market boom that generated tons of poverty.

No, you want to be a master of 2 things: A human language, and something that everyone else on the planet isn’t also a master of. Mastering two things is hard. Mastering three things is near impossible. (Although If you naturally get multiple human languages, from parents from different linguistic backgrounds, for example, that’s great. And you might have a chance of mastering both. But one of them ought to be English.)
