I thought Netflix was lacking in content for a long time so I ended up watching fringe shows outside of my typical viewing habits and was pleasantly surprised with the high quality production from:

- The OA
- Dark
- Sense 8
- Black Spot

I'm looking forward to the next seasons of Altered Carbon and Lost in Space the most which seem to have been delayed. Other than Netflix's popular block busters, my other favorite shows I can recommend include: Narcos, Lucifer, Travelers, Outlander, Better Call Saul, Ozark, Sabrina and Dirk Gently's.
Loved first season, gave up after two episodes of season two never went back, too many good books and tv shows to waste time on something I don’t enjoy.

It just fell of a cliff quality wise.
A lot of 30 year old cars with less km than that? I think that's a pretty big assumption unless you're only considering non daily drivers or garage cars.

I also imagine most buyers who own a Model S today probably aren't going to keep that vehicle for 30 years because they're technically savvy and will want a newer vehicle. Hopefully I'm wrong but what I'm getting at is I don't want a new brand of vehicle that is treated like a cellphone.

Cycling cars every few years for hardware improvements cannot be good for the environment. Tesla also has a pretty bad reputation with self repair and rehabbing damaged vehicles which I imagine will deter the used market quite a bit.
Same here, I find it a very bullying feature.
What a joke, where are the visual designers for HTML/CSS, with automatic binding generation for database backends?

Layout engines with customization capabilities?

Where is the hardware accelerated drawings that I can be fully sure it is hardware accelerated without doing tricks with z index and hoping for the best regarding mapping css drawings into textures?
Manmade Antarctic snowstorm 'could save coastal cities from rising seas'
I work at a FAANG and host level cpu is most definitely an alert we page on. Though a single host hitting 100% CPU isn't really a problem in and of itself (our SOP is just to replace the host), its an important sign to watch for other hosts becoming unhealthy. It might be overkill but hey theres mission critical stuff at hand.

For example: if you have a fleet of hosts handling jobs with retries, a bad job could end up being passed host to host killing each host / locking up each one as it gets passed along. And that could happen in minutes while replacing and deploying and bootstrapping a new host takes longer. So by the time your automated system detects, removes, and spins up a new host everything is on fire.
What about the other maintainers of the code?

If you are the sole person that contributed code, that's fine, but what about codebases that had lots of code contributed by other people?
I suppose we'll see. I think it's more likely that we see some limitations on us of your aggregate data, if it's decided on privacy. To me, this sounds unattractive. This doesn't make it "our data" in a meaningful way. We can't get the value from it.

Monopoly, oth, is all about aggregation and that's what's being discussed here.
Cold fusion has a 100% chance of realization. It's a sound technology. There's no doubt that it will be realized and is achievable. The only doubts are the timescale -- those who work in the field often say it's always '30 years away', but some recent research seems promising to make it much closer than that. I'd say level 5 and cold fusion are both equally achievable, though level 5 automobiles may be airborne -- as then they'd have less obstacles just birds, trees, and other airborne vehicles, but pedestrians, cats, dogs, bicycles would be off the table.

Super AI's I think are achievable and will be developed. I just don't know which will come first level 5 or cold fusion that's a toss up. If everything though has sensors including bikes, pedestrians, cross-walks, roads, etc that can detect what is on the road, send out a warning signal to cars travelling towards that intersection then that also takes out some of the problems - but that requires a very smart grid.

On a long enough timeline though there's probably not much humankind can create. Though it could be 10 years could be 50.
I don't know - I have a 'prototype' application that, rather to my horror, I have found recently is still in production about 7 years after it should have been replaced by the 'real' system.

It'll probably outlast me!
Is it not obvious that surviving in space or the moon or mars is infinitely more difficult than just changing our ways? Bezos has been consumed by his own bubble of existence. He fantasizes about a world where only he can afford to exist, assuming I guess that he'll achieve immortality. The earth would be better off with him not on it.
Launch HN: Hackernoon 2.0
Speaking as someone who has written Python code almost every day for the last 16 years of my life: I'm not happy about this.

Some of this stuff seems to me like it's opening the doors for some antipatterns that I'm consistently frustrated about when working with Perl code (that I didn't write myself). I had always been quite happy about the fact that Python didn't have language features to blur the lines between what's code vs what's string literals and what's a statement vs what's an expression.
Historical context and original artifacts cannot be simply rebuilt. This is not an office complex or a scientific lab or some other property that has material value but consists of fungible parts. Original historical artifacts of this type are literally irreplaceable.

If they are destroyed, they are lost to every future human being from now until the end of the universe. Even with time discounting, that's a great cultural loss. Should we risk lives to preserve historical & cultural heritage? Yes, absolutely.
What a depressing thread. The general consensus (at the time of submitting this comment) is that posters don't care if commercial fonts are hosted on GitHub in violation of their licence.

Many professional fonts are the work of a single type designer who may have spent thousands of hours creating the typeface. Modern typefaces can have a dozen or more weights and hundreds of glyphs.

It's hard work and time-consuming to create a professional type family. It's depressing to come here and see how little people care for the work of other professions.
What part of your process gets you around deprioritization? I thought that there was no way to circumvent that. I had to tether for a month or two on tmo and as soon as I hit 22 or 25GB my entire account was throttled and I'd barely get 2MBps. I wound up going with an ATT ipad plan that also had deprio at a point (30gb? I forget). But everything about the ATT plan was so much better.

I tried a lot of ways to get around that (most of what you mentioned, tweaking my hops and what not) and never made any progress so I assumed it was at the network level and I'd have no control.
That was a bonus in addition to the restauration works that took place mid-19th century.
> because people are poorly educated and copy their system disks without changing the random seed.

To a first approximation:

* SHA256( cat /var/lib/randomseed || ifconfig || date -u ) > /dev/urandom

will get any decent stream-cipher-based PRNG going.

Each machine will have a unique MAC address, so that's 48 bits right off the bat, even if randomseed is identical and every machine is booted at the exact same second.
Enh. I don't think anyone's arguing for a "magic wand" that would remove money from the top without distributing it somewhere -- the idea is generally that some of the money going to the top should instead go to somewhere else that needs it. This article feels... disingenuous.
This might be a case of trackable vs un-trackable. Where the thing that is trackable tells you one thing and the full reality (the untrackable) is missed.
The models you'd use for map making are often really simple. For example, the Australian plate motion model is a "seven parameter transformation" - three translations, three rotations and a scale factor. The deformation errors which can't be modeled with this are roughly centimeter level over decades; see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258401581_ITRF_to_G...

For anyone using these kind of transformations, the boundary between the preferred models for two countries may well be discontinuous!

Ultimately the correct way to deal with this is to use a global time dependent deformation model. Some countries with large internal deformation have already gone to the effort of producing local versions. For example New Zealand: https://www.linz.govt.nz/data/geodetic-system/datums-project....

I guess there will eventually be a high quality global deformation map available but I wasn't aware of any such thing in general use as of two years ago.

Cronyism is found in all political systems and in some systems like fascism might even be considered a defining characteristic. People trying to manipulate the political system for economic gain is unfortunately always going to happen whether there is little or a lot of economic freedom in the system.

>...When capitalism produces outcomes they approve of, it's because capitalism is good. When capitalism produces outcomes they don't approve of, it's because what was going on wasn't really capitalism, it was its debased, photo-negative, bearded-Spock version, "crony capitalism."

I'm actually surprised to see these negative comments... I didn't realize it grew out of favour with its audience so much.

They slowed down in season two and it had an overall pretty different tone, but they laid the groundwork for some amazing storytelling in season three where things really just fell in place together.

The walrus operator does not feel like Python to me. I'm not a big fan of these types of one liner statements where one line is doing more than one thing.

It violates the philosophies of Python and UNIX where one function, or one line, should preferably only do one thing, and do it well.

I get the idea behind the :=, but I do think it's an unnecessary addition to Python.
But only for doubles as a one-off thing? That's more than a little a bit unsatisfying...

For the bioinformatics datasets I work with it is not cost efficient to load everything into a database. For some of these datasets (e.g. GWAS - Genome Wide Association Studies which are essentially sparse matrices) it might be interesting to explore with graph queries. I guess my ideal would be to have a GraphBLAS equivalent to Spark SQL queries working across files in cloud storage / NAS.
It's not that common. There's 1 place where its useful imo (comprehensions to avoid duplicate calls), but even that can be handled case by case, and it certainly isn't a common thing.

For the specific purpose of controlling APA102 via wifi, ESP8266 (NodeMCU or similar) seems optimal, as 1x SPI and WiFi are the only peripherals needed and so ESP8266 is a perfect fit hardware-wise, and it's well-supported, extremely beginner friendly (<25 easy lines of code to get these LEDs blinking via WiFi, mouse-click based library download) and cheap.

In general, for intermediate users and up (anyone not lost right away without peripheral libraries from SparkFun/AdaFruit), and unless Wifi is needed, I fully agree on ARM. I'd recommend the STM32 portfolio. These scale really well from learning platform to full on commercial use (with the F0/F1/F4/F7 MCU's, stm32duino/libopencm3/mbed frameworks, Arduino/PlatformIO dev environments, all in order of complexity and/or professionalism). The STM32F* eval boards are nice but pricy; there are fewer universally useful cheap small-formfactor (ie Arduino-like) boards.
The management engine doesn't have anything to do with RDRAND. What's your point here?
Most code still look like traditional Python. Just like meta programming or monkey patching, the new features are used sparingly by the community. Even the less controversial type hints are here on maybe 10 percent of the code out there.

It's all about the culture. And Python culture has been protecting us from abuses for 20 years, while allowing to have cool toys.

Besides, in that release (and even the previous one), appart from the walrus operator that I predict will be used with moderation, I don't see any alien looking stuff. This kind of evolution speed is quite conservative IMO.

Whatever you do, there there always will be people complaining I guess. After all, I also hear all the time that Python doesn't change fast enough, or lack some black magic from functional languages.
That makes it hard to click your heels.

To refute your assertion more precisely, there is ample evidence that bikes have hand and foot controls that are frequently modified from the current controls. Some electric bikes move both brakes to the handlebars. Many roadracing motorcycles have added thumb brakes. And I've had plenty of situations on dirtbikes where I can't use to the shifter or rear brake because of silliness like water or mud. And then there's broken levers.

New Rails 6 Features
You're right, but from our perspective that's a feature not a bug. This story isn't lacking for attention. In cases of hot controversy, it's good to add a little resistance to the circuit. When a title doesn't immediately give away its meaning, it takes a bit more energy to 'overcome'. That energy needs to come from curiosity ("I wonder what that is?"), which is the circuitry we're hoping to activate here. Compare that feeling to "ooh, new development in hot topic X!" which is how one feels when a headline grabs attention and links it directly to something already charged in the mind. It may be a subtle difference, but these tiny initial conditions seem to have the largest effect on how a thread develops. This is related to the principle that on HN, it's good for users to have to work a little. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
Redesigning the Redesign of Reddit
Most fun bug I've ever fixed is when we had builds time out while running unit tests, but it would never happen on our dev machines. Unless we let it run while grabbing a coffee. Or if we just sat there watching the screen without touching the mouse. But as soon as we would touch the mouse it would resume.

...tl;dr quick change to Java property so that SecureRandom uses /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random and problem solved.

Hard is being used in a "type the keys" sense. It's more complexity to borrow idioms from languages then slightly change the syntax (PHP!), which isn't necessary. Like most languages, choices are made without evidence (but plenty of anecdotes and personal style).
So, Firefox operates with yet another third party. I've never used this ''Have I been PWNed?'' drivel and don't intend to start, but I don't usually find myself using a Firefox-brand Firefox, either.

What's so compelling about this website? To me, this looks like yet another silly idea people coalesce around and find important. In having a discussion about this, someone mentioned how it's not that different from Facebook and Cloudflare in managing something technical for those who don't care to, and I find this a rather decent comparison. This is yet another centralized and completely unnecessary entity.

I don't see the appeal and I don't like what I regard as a stupid idea receiving so much attention from so many groups. This isn't surprising coming from Troy Hunt, however, who I best remember as the person bitching about an ad blocker blocking an ad he found acceptable.

The article is obviously mainly referring to font files under desktop font licenses that certainly don't usually allow publishing the files on Github or serving them as part of your site.

After several years of good service, I was accused by my telco (Cricket) of tethering without paying the special fee and my phone was disabled. Found this out in the middle of a trip.

The thing is, my plan did not require the extra fee when I signed up, and so that had been grandfathered in.

When the telco does this, you can switch to another one, but you cannot port your number. This would be like the postal service owning your street address. If they took a dislike to you, they could prevent you from using the address!
The Tragedy of Enclosure (1994)
Not really more expensive. If we have x deaths per year..let's say 10k for easy math. Over a decade that's 100k people dead. If self-driving cars can bring that to 0..that's 100k more people in a decade able to pay taxes because they didn't die. It's 100k families that maybe didn't lose their primary bread-winner and don't need to live off government assistance... So there's economic value in less people dying. It's also less in medical costs. Imagine what the bill for medicare for all would be if there were 0 traffic accidents across the entire U.S.A? Not to mention it could ease up congestion and make changes to the way they do construction or how often by maximizing speed and travel to make roads last longer somehow... Also less need for police to monitor traffic, I'm sure we get that sort of grid we'd also have a lot more big brother surveillance baked in too to make police jobs easier. Which I guess is good/bad depending on which side of the privacy ethics you are on surveillance and how 'honorable' our government is at the time (hopefully more honorable and less like china and it currently is)....
Could you mention which FAANG so I can avoid applying or a job there? Large-scale software systems _must_ be designed to serve through local resource exhaustion.

I stand by my beef with this article. The statement that "I've talked with engineers at Google [and concluded that a thing Google wouldn't tolerate is a must-have]" doesn't make sense. What I get from this article is you can talk with engineers at Google without learning anything.
Western social media companies are increasingly censorial, following Chinese censorship in spirit not structure.

If you're ignorant about how trivial it is to access vpn and outside info in China then I'm not sure to say. The firewall and grey legislation around vpns is calibrated that low information audience gravitates towards party line while those seeking information has access.

Usage not brand awareness. The numbers suggests more Chinese people are aware of western and Chinese perspectives than vice versa. Leading me to ask, in general, who is actually more informed? Being immersed in both media landscapes allows better critical appraisal of what is actually happening then to pretend that just being in a free media environment somehow makes one more informed.
I think a lot of it has to do with the original audience being largely composed of the "burn capitalism to the ground" types of folks, who still feel that way, whilst the series itself is showing the negative ramifications of those actions.

Folks want to live in a fantasy where they save the world that they feel so much pain in, and they can't stomach the idea that their pain is a product of their own mind rather than the world in which they reside where so many others are happily living their lives.

For sure, there is definitely a valid perspective for both approaches. To be fair, at the FAANG companies the computer science is probably more important than other places.

The irony for me is that when I did encounter these questions, I already knew the answers from research (i.e. the egg drop question, how would build an M&M, etc).
It seemed to undergo a major rewrite and then died.

I could also never really figure it out post-rewrite. Pre-rewrite, I had made some cool macros just out of intuition after reading some of its examples. Now, I can't get many of its own examples to compile in its live editor.

Too bad. It's about 1000x simpler than, say, implementing low-level Babel transformations.
This very much depends on the kind of software system. If there is parallel orchestration going on, such as join operators in a scale-out database, the performance of a single machine in the cluster can impact the performance of the entire cluster. In fact, the software will often monitor this itself so that it knows when and where to automatically shed load.
I worded that poorly. I meant “terms” in the general sense, as some sort of agreement between two parties, but you are absolutely correct.

I have no expertise at all in this area. However, I assume that NASA was monitoring SpaceX's design from early on, and that if the design was clearly dangerous NASA would have insisted that SpaceX change it. The reason I say this is that NASA has a strong safety culture, and I assume monitoring from the beginning is what is needed to have a safe design.
