The 'some pages' link to the c2 wiki (aka Portland Patterns Repository) has a good overview.

My key take-away:

> Since FunctorObjects are an enabling mechanism for LazyEvaluation some of the caveats for LazyEvaluation should be noted here. LazyEvaluation makes it impossible to know the exact order in which operations will be executed and in fact makes it possible for some operations not to be executed at all. It is therefore important to ensure that the FunctorObjects that may be lazily evaluated do not rely on state that may change during the time when LazyEvaluation may occur and that it does not change state that is relied on by other operations that may occur during the same time period. FunctorObjects? that can have side-effects are called Procedure Objects by ThomasKuehne. These are very useful but some care must be taken with the timing of their side-effects.

Or rather: killed a small percentage of Spartans (the "300" + some allies), hardly "the entire Spartan force", while having huge losses themselves, and giving time to the rest of the Greeks to prepare and ultimately kick them off.

So there's that...
I've had better experience with older doctors who no longer care about maximizing their billings. Extra points if they consider most other doctors to be idiots and like to prove them wrong. Unfortunately to find good ones like that takes time, determination and being ignored many many times.

The frightening thing to me is that from my reading there is little recourse for her since the UK has a centralized health system controlled by GP referrals.
My wife and I were chuckling the other day about using the Thomas Bros map of old, while plugging our destination into the car's GPS nav system. Something else my kids will never know about.
That sounds a lot like a reply from someone who enjoys an activity and can't fathom that someone else wouldn't. I get that a lot when people (my wife) tries to convince me to go to the beach. I _abhor_ the beach and she just assumes I "not doing it right" in some way.

To be fair, I don't mind the activities around the beach so much (shops, soft serve, etc). However, that's not what the majority of people want to do with their time.
Becuase of kubernetes. The platform of platforms.
Kubernetes is the andriod to amazon iphone (in analogy).
It is the only way to get out of cloud vendor lock in.

IBM is mainly a consultancy business, so they basically back integrated with the cloud os - kubernetes, or more specifically in this case - open shift.

The only issue here is that are around 23 or more certified kubernetes distors, so this might have been an expansive price to pay.
They probably mean something along the lines of a 20% reduction in losses. Or, they're comparing at an operating point that is far from peak efficiency. Motors can have 70% or lower efficiency when running at low speeds.

If efficiency is 90%, then 10% is waste; cut that by 20%, and your motor efficiency is now 92%. Something like that. There's a lot of ways they can arrange the math, not to mention it's not clear which motor they're comparing to, which makes this kind of claim very vague. They should just state the efficiency they get.

Electric motors are already well over 90% efficient. I don't see what they could do to improve this. Maybe weight/power ratio? Even then, Tesla pretty much nailed it with his three phase "squirrel cage" motor. That's why even today that is what a Tesla car uses and it's what quadricopters use.
The big risk is that IBM drags Redhat down to their level. This wouldn't be unusual, most takeovers fail to deliver shareholder value.
Kudos to this guy’s bravery; he is living my worst nightmare. My biggest fear is losing eyesight or ability to use hands, and articles like this confirm my beliefs that our current technology is no way near mature enough where disability isn’t a concern anymore. And these doctors, what can I say about them. It looks like they are getting worse, or just lazy, with every passing day. If you are a doctor and you don’t want to do anything that requires more effort than prescribing painkillers, do this world a favor and get retired because you are actually damaging the medical industry.
My career in Software would be over if it wasn't for voicecode.io and now Talon.

I go through periods where typing does not bother me at all and long periods of intense random pain in forearms, wrists, palms and top of my hands.

Certain aspects of controlling your computer by voice are way more efficient than using a keyboard, others not so much. Lucky for me using a mouse does not bother me that much so I continue to use that for scrolling and mousing and alternate clicking by voice or mouse. I probably work by voice about a 1/3 of the time right now, ideally it would be more like 2/3 of the time.

There is definitely a big learning curve to using voice control and like they said in the article you have to be careful about voice strain.

> transactions are generally reversible

Not really. If your account is compromised you may indeed get your money back from the bank's insurance (although in some countries that is less likely than others). However, the criminal behind the malware will probably have got at least some of the money.

International transfers are not generally reversible. Cash withdrawals are not reversible. Even electronic transfers to another bank in the same country (maybe this varies by country) are only reversible if the money has not been withdrawn.

And then there have been cases of actual bank systems being compromised so that criminals can just increase the balance of accounts directly.. And cashpoints (atms) being compromised.
This is a meme that has been adopted by leftists wholesale. The basic premise is that since any innovation can be somehow tracked backed to government investment, the government is somehow responsible for most innovation.

It disregards the whole process that is required to take insights from research into a real product.

Yes, the internet was developed by the military. Only when private enterprise took over did it become valuable to society as a whole.

Yes, the iPhone builds on technology that originated from public research, just like all the cellphones before it. However, it wasn't a government committee that decided how to assemble all these technologies into something that people were ready to pay $1000 for.

We have lots of evidence that that the government is in fact a terrible entrepreneur that builds terrible products and services. One can point at the awful primary/secondary education, or at the DMV, or perhaps at the rollout of healthcare-dot-gov.

Even the "communist" Chinese government understands that private enterprise is the way to economic prosperity, it just disagrees on the degree of state control.
I think most Americans know that the government can quite easily enter anyone’s home if they want to.
PR stunt implies that it was cooked up by PR people as something to be in the media. It’s either that or it’s not.

If a company wants to do something and PR gets involved and makes sure the messaging is good, that’s not a PR “stunt” anymore.

A stunt is a trick.
also, since I forgot to address it in my other response.

asking for sources is not unsubstantive, not in the least. It's one of the most substantive things you can do, both as someone providing information, and as someone trying to evaluate the information being provided.

The fact that you've come to feel that asking for sources is less important than not making others feel uncomfortable goes a long way towards why I don't view HN as a place for decent discourse.
That was at a time when wars were fought with such arms, and the police had the same. Heck, that was true for 100+ years afterwards still.

Now the police even has tanks and army level guns, and the army of course has 1000x the resources, airplanes, drones, etc.

And of course, at the time the states were indeed independent and fighting fiercely for that. Now (and ever after the Civil War) it's all a charade, from what I understand, and it's all as the Federal government says, not really a union of independent states (as independent countries), but a state divided in N prefectures that just happen to be called states...

> If you read uber tech posts, you can see the challenges they face. Even if you want to apply so called best practices you need an above average tech team at the very least. The proof is in the failure rate of our industry.

This is one possible interpretation.

The other possible interpretation (which I favor) is that good engineers like working on hard problems, and will gravitate towards places where they can work on hard problems—whether or not the business actually fundamentally requires hard problems. There could be simpler architectures. (Remember that pre-Uber, nobody really said that the problem with the taxi industry was that you had to call a dispatcher on the phone and that system couldn't scale. Dispatchers were bad at things, sure, but we didn't think that phones were fundamentally too low-bandwidth to handle the request rate.)

Some recent posts on Uber's tech blog:

- A zero-downtime migration from a payments architecture with eight microservices that needed a code update every time they launched something like Uber Eats, which was "an unsustainable use of development time," to one that was generic across new businesses Uber might launch in the future.

- A tool to automatically generate an iOS app with the same build structure as their current app or a slightly modified one, to see if certain approaches would speed up their build times.

- A new web interface, with feature parity to their mobile interface, based on the JavaScript framework previously developed by Uber Engineering and also using fancy new web platform features like service workers.

- A new framework for automatically submitting data analysis jobs to their scalable computing environment with the ability to update configs to match changes to which databases exist, which computing clusters exist, how to access them, etc.

- A conversational AI platform.

- An AI ant that walks around in better ways.

None of these, I think, fall into the category of Uber really needing tech. They're all cool, they all have long-term business value, but you could just declare that you're tech-skeptical and don't want to make platforms for platforms for platforms and still deliver Uber's core business - matching users with cars and moving money around - just fine.

What diagnosis did you end up receiving exactly?
A friend of mine has a different solution to this problem which I think is really great. Programmer salaries are more than enough to pay someone to type for you. But he doesn't just hire typists. He trains apprentices. https://blog.iangilman.com/2018/06/wrists-apprentices.html

This story resonates. A few years back I was dealing with mild pain while coding. I stupidly ignored it for months as it got significantly worse, to the point where it became impossible to type for extended periods.

I tried lots of things. My doctor did a nerve conduction study, which apparently ruled out carpal tunnel syndrome, but he wasn't much help beyond that. He gave me some straps that I slept in and wore around to keep my wrists immobilized. I did some physical therapy. I got a split keyboard and ergonomic mouse. I even took a month off from typing, then returned, but the pain was worse than ever.

The double whammy of severe pain combined with the fear that you'll never code again is rough to say the least.

I resolved to just code with my voice. I never found Talon but found VoiceCode instead. It also relied on Dragon's NaturallySpeaking software, which I was dismayed to learn was still the best desktop software out there. My hopes and ambition for what VoiceCode could do always outpaced reality, but it was workable. I remember impressing some friends who witnessed me quickly and accurately writing code by speaking what seemed like gibberish.

As the author notes, the biggest problem quickly becomes that your voice tires out. You're not built to talk nonstop for hours on end every day. I was forced to become a much more efficient developer for a bit.

Eventually the pain began to subside. I remember when I first noticed it happening, because it was one of the happiest moments of my life. After a little experimentation and observation, it was clear that my recovery was positively correlated with consistency in going to the gym for heavy weightlifting sessions. Even today, pain in my hands and wrists is a reliable signal that I haven't been lifting in recent weeks, and when I start back, the pain goes away.
Disagree with your assessment that CCC is more well known than DEFCON. Maybe in Europe that's the case? DEFCON has 2x the attendees. This would be tough to fully figure out who's right, but just doesn't seem to be the case, imo.

Also, there's a lot more going on at DEFCON than just hacking. There's art, music, gatherings of all types, etc.

There is nothing to drag. A single server distro is becoming irrelevant as the unit of computation resources is the kubernetes cluster. I.e. all the app see is a set of kubernetes nodes, it does not really care what server disto you are running on.
Psychosomatic diseases are a real thing though. You can have real physical symptoms. Last year my muscles started to « shake », with lots of skipped heartbeats (extrasystoles). After all the checks the doctors said the classic « it’s stress ». Well then I took a real break and embarked on multi month road trip on another continent. The symptoms disappeared nearly overnight. I think I experienced a burnout but it manifested through physical symptoms.

Edit: needless to say the medical response was very frustrating and hard to believe. In the end they were right that it was not a physical cause, but apart from that it really felt like they had no idea. Also it could be a multi-level cause like gut flora causing anxiety causing be physical symptoms but it’s beyond what a doctor can diagnose I think.

I'm familiar with the concept of seasons, just as I'm familiar with the concept of yearly boat trips.

But lots of people live near the equator, just like lots of people don't really ever go for long drives so rather than focus on one particularly difficult case and then giving up I was looking for some kind of rough quantification of the problem.

In analogy I'm just wondering whether the equivalent of the "daily commute" for most of the planet can be easily covered with current tech at a cost less than curent alternatives and we only need to worry about a comparitively small fraction that remains, which we could apply those savings to dealing with.

I'm sure they do it, but I'm also pretty sure everyone else is doing it too, to some extent at least - FSB, NSA, BND, DGSE and Mossad were all previously accused of it. And not just industrial espionage, but also of providing contacts, logistics and actively lobbying in emerging markets for their national companies to get the best deals, which also often includes corruption and gray-zone private deals with local government officials.

They do not fully combust their fuels because they aren't stoichiometric, typically. But all the fuel components are heated to high temperature, so any energetic (and often not coincidentally toxic) chemicals are reduced to a mixture in close to thermodynamic equilibrium. Hydrazine, for example, gets converted to nitrogen and hydrogen, with some of the hydrogen being oxidized.
Agreed. The better we understand the brain the better we can exploit the reward system for profit. We can even automate the process on a person by person basis.
If you're undecided on reading Chiang's work, I would suggest checking out the movie Arrival based on one of his short stories.

Because a mix of globalization, technological financialization, and perverse incentives.

The markets have become increasingly global to the point that there is never a shortage of investors or investment capital. However, profitable, low or no risk investment opportunities do not grow on trees nearly as plentifully. Due to an overabundant supply of investors with a high demand to seek profitable low or no risk investment opportunities to park their wealth for growth via interest, and a much lower supply of profitable low or no risk investment opportunities—the interest rates to park your wealth must fall. And they have fallen quite steadily and predictably since their peak in the 1970s and 1980s... which nicely corresponds with the technological globalization and financialization of markets and marks their triumph over inflation (why inflation has not returned).

There is another reason for inflated asset prices besides cheap interest rates. Many assets are also priced to interest rates in an inverted fashion (for bonds, that is exactly the formula how they work and are priced). Just before the recession, stock buy-backs were no longer prohibited and since the great recession and the ultra low interest rate environment coupled with stock buy-backs, stocks have become a slightly more risky alternative to bonds and stock prices became just as inflated as bonds and have more or less stayed that way. You see, when you have a combination of all those factors coupled with the ability to buy back your stock, stocks are now able to compete almost directly with bonds for investors and stock prices inflate accordingly.

Because globalization, technology, and financialization happen much faster than markets and regulation can respond, and there are vested interests by investors (corporations, banks, Wall Street, etc.) to maintain the status quo via lobbying the politicians and regulators... the situation is unlikely to resolve itself via some self-regulating efficient market hypothesis.
That’s kinda the holy grail of the industry, and there are lots of smart people working on it. The question is how different must it be for people to come back, how many will actually do so, and how much effort does it take to do that versus making a new game.

Most people seem to think it doesn’t make sense, but there are people working on it. Hatch in LA is making a big bet on their upcoming game The Ladder, for example: https://www.hatchescapes.com/the-ladder

Introducing intentional red herrings in an escape game of any sort is a bad idea in my opinion. While it may be okay in a non timed video game, people don’t react well to that when on a clock.
> What specific federal funds rate would make stock prices "supported by fundamentals" rather than "inflated"

Well, zero is kind of a special number. Anything significantly different from zero should create a very different dynamic (with a hyperbolic reaction of the market the closer you get to zero).

That said, the stock market is never "supported by fundamentals" like the GP wants. Also, just because the interest rate is low, it does not mean that all companies are under water. Besides, I don't think anybody already knows the consequences of zero interest rates well enough to say with certainty that it's bad, but it's different from non-zero.
