Chronosphere (https://chronosphere.io/) was recently started by ex-Uber engineers to build a commercial ecosystem around M3. M3 is Uber's metrics platform and isn't going anywhere. M3DB (the TSDB built to support M3) is becoming fairly integral to Uber in its own right. I'd say the trajectory is positive.

Disclaimer: I work on the M3DB team.

>But the Trump map is unusual. I cannot find anything truly comparable. We had a map that was already out there that he actually mutilated, and in a very obvious way. This guy shows absolutely no subtlety at all. And then people try to make excuses for him. I have never seen anything like this.

I can think of one good comparison, from Catch 22 -

"For hours they stared relentlessly at the scarlet ribbon on the map and hated it because it would not move up high enough to encompass the city.

When night fell, they congregated in the darkness with flashlights, continuing their macabre vigil at the bomb line in brooding entreaty as though hoping to move the ribbon up by the collective weight of their sullen prayers. "I really can't believe it," Clevinger exclaimed to Yossarian in a voice rising and falling in protest and wonder. "It's a complete reversion to primitive superstition. They're confusing cause and effect. It makes as much sense as knocking on wood or crossing your fingers. They really believe that we wouldn't have to fly that mission tomorrow if someone would only tiptoe up to the map in the middle of the night and move the bomb line over Bologna. Can you imagine? You and I must be the only rational ones left."

In the middle of the night Yossarian knocked on wood, crossed his fingers, and tiptoed out of his tent to move the bomb line up over Bologna."

edit - wow that got flagged quick. Now we know what it takes to make HN uninterested in cartography.

Explosive outbursts of anger over tiny tiny issues is a mental illness and not a normal part of life.

Probably not what OP was specifically looking for, but this single discovery has been the most profound in my life.
I setup an enterprise-grade Mattermost server in a weekend. The hardest part wasn't even Mattermost itself, but getting SMTP working reliably in the age of DKIM/SPF/DMARC policies. This could be sidestepped by using any of the well-established email providers.

No reason to use Slack when such options exist, but also no reason to write your own chat app, either.
The lectures I best remember are the ones I took notes in. Every now and then again, I like to flip through old notebooks and the feel of those moments come back, the general atmosphere created by the professor, the subject, the feel of the class, the turning of the season, that visceral sense of having been alive in another time and space and I'm very glad to have left a record.

You know what they call someone that graduated medical school with a 2.0 GPA? Doctor

When it comes to something like certification or education, no one cares about your standards. MIT set the bar, and you pasted it. It might be below your standards, but no one cares.
gotta say I found 'taiga' confusing as hell.

I eventually found a small pale grey floppy disk image (on white background) as the magic thing to click when typing in comments. That alone cost far more vs any benefit I had using taiga. Perhaps the folks who set it up for me to use chose a weird theme?
Glimpse sounds like a great name. If it brings new development into the project it can't hurt. I have no problem with the GIMP name, as a frequent user, but some times things need new names to evolve.

Amazon wasn't even using AWS at the beginning. AWS was a new product category for them. Albeit, they were able to leverage their institutional knowledge of managing data centers and probably the extra capacity of some of their servers.

There is ArchiveBox (self-hosted web archive) for these cases when articles are disappearing.

Sounds like a poor millennial affliction.
Correct, and if you understand that, that's fine. I'm also waiting for the next thing after smartphones, but until then, I'm not really expecting anything other that incremental updates.
Sure but like, run Mattermost or Lync or an XMPP server with apps pre-built for it... don't build your own system. Just a waste of effort.
So cost of PV solar has dropped 80% over past decade - it it reasonable to expect another 40% drop over the coming decade?

A quick Google search suggests that Solar PV efficiency is 11-22%. Could it be 20-35% in 2029?
I think you're onto something; which is why I tend to keep my neckbeardy know-it-all skepticism to myself. I've got an angel on one shoulder (ALL ABOUT THE EXECUTION, BRO!) and a devil on the other (who more closely resembles 'Comic Book Guy' from The Simpsons) and would tend towards optimism and hope that the founders pull it off.

With that said... I see Amazon Fresh/Prime Now and think... "WebVan" I see UberEats/DoorDash and think... "2 Go Services" formerly "Dinner Delivery Plus" I see Carvana and think... CarMax

But then there are the exceptions which have turned out to be truly exceptional. Think Facebook/Myspace, Instagram/Flickr, Google/AltaVista, AirBNB/Couchsurfing, reddit/digg, AWS/Rackspace.

With that said... I'm really not so hot about WeWork. I hope it works out but there is so much weirdness around the company and founder that I will not be investing. Very entertaining to see article after article about it, I hope things work out for the honest rank-and-file, but I really do suspect that the WeWork IPO (or lack thereof) will have a much needed chilling effect on the overheated tech economy of the last decade.

I've accepted the obviously flawed UI for what it is. Instead of being able to move an issue from one backlog to another via the Edit modal (where you can edit virtually every piece of information about the issue), you have to click the "More" dropdown, then "Move". I used JIRA for three years before I knew that. I hope somebody from Atlassian sees this comment.

Python 2 to 3 comments can be boiled down to three constituencies:

1. Native Python 3 Developers: It's great over here, what's the problem?

2. Python 2 Developers Migrating a Small App: It barely took me any time, you Python 2 developers are lazy and inhibiting progress!

3. Python 2 Developers Migrating a Large App: Ugh.
I don't see how such sweeping statements about the nature of a country are useful.

Slave labor was only one component of practically all great countries/empires. The West was the first to outlaw it.

The US in particular was built upon the hard-earned lessons of the past, including the moral worth of individual liberty.
Trial was secret. But 2017 arrest point to "Strike Hard" campaign targeting violent terrorism. "Two-face" label was also something thrown around by state officials at the time against those who preached separatism.
By creating a weapon of mass destruction that destroys whole planets? I think the scale of that endeavor and the resulting destruction of Alderaan is justification enough for destroying the Death Star. But destroying Alderaan itself? I don't see any justification for that in the vein of him protecting his empire. They certainly didn't seem to pose a threat big enough for the planet to be destroyed.

When one side escalates to that point, and the other side takes away their weapon of escalation, it's false equivalency to try to equate the two.

Great idea and the implementation is pretty good for v1. The v2 can index reddit and render that index as a fancy 3d structure that gives a 10,000 feet view on what's going on in reddit: relationship between subreddits, topics, comments, users. Perhaps this structure can look like a forest where heavy subreddits look like big branchy trees and users look like bees adding comments. Big plus if this is rendered in real time, at least with 1 fps. It's not entirely impossible that this idea may be good enough for a little startup (afaik, YC offers 150k for 7% if the idea seems worth exploring).
Close, but even that smallish phone was 4.6".
Back when my startup had a Fortran compiler as one of its products, most of our customers were writing new code in modern Fortran, and modernizing old code. The folks who were just running what they had without updating it probably were using g77 or another free compiler.

This essay is revived for every new technology which might seem to weaken our mental faculties. In Socrates time writing might weaken memory and rhetoric. In my lifetime it was movies, television, video games, cellphones and social media doing the same.

On the contrary, if used properly and moderately, new technology can strengthen our mental abilities.

Ada is miles ahead of Rust when it comes to C interoperability. I posted this before in one of the other Rust threads, but you can't get more than two paragraphs through the official Rust FFI documentation ( https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ffi.html ) before being asked to install a third-party dependency. The 'Interfaces.C' package is defined in the Ada language specification. And, as others have mentioned, Ada's language defined pragma directives, or Ada2012's aspects provide a way to implement FFI.
It's the opposite for me.
Spotify kept repeating a small collection of recommended songs to me, until I react to the song by stating whether I like or dislike the song. It takes active effort from me which is bothering.

There is something to be said for not just halting on an error in production systems. Its the same reason assertions are usually turned off on production builds.

Yes ideally the programmers should have handled the exception, but once your in production and the system is running, should you really just halt the whole program due to an exception the prograera didn't foresee?
Gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, and geothermal all operate more or less continuously and can “easily” vary output.

Solar, wind, and to an extent tidal generators don’t, so you want to store the excess charge they produce while they are able to and release it to the grid when needed.

It’s not that the batteries don’t work with other power sources, it’s just that they’re less necessary (although large batteries in the grid can buffer against sudden changes in grid demand more rapidly and efficiently than grids without)

Or who just promoted Uyghur language and culture, or didn’t cheer the Party on loudly enough:

https://thediplomat.com/2018/10/turn-in-the-two-faced-the-pl...

EDIT: Do you think I’m exaggerating?

From the link:

“To be more precise, [two-faced] is a castigatory definition that Chinese politicians are using to highlight the “failure” of Uyghur intellectuals to manifest their unwavering and unambiguous allegiance to the CCP.”

“In this sense, Uyghur intellectuals are forced to remain in the black and white world for their very survival; and in so doing, they are forced to abandon and denounce their own deeply rich culture against their will.“
> I think every Python 2 doc page should have a big banner on top mentioning the EOL status of Python 2 and linking to the coresponding Python 3 page (if there is one).

I'd support that if every Python 3 page had a link saying "if you're still a sorry SOB stuck on Python 2, here's the link to the related library." It's just as bad for Python 2 developers, it's roughly a 50/50 shot of whether you get docs for 2 or 3.
Agreed; of course there are tradeoffs! "What happens.." is that you can use Mobx instead of redux bc it's easier to reason about. You can have some preferred way of doing things, and let React be a component-level implementation detail. Pros and cons abound in choosing a bells-and-whistles, batteries-included framework vs taking on the overhead -- and upside -- of composing a set of preferred libraries or tools. I never said "React is always a better choice than X." I said "it's not apples:apples to compare them directly". For which I got downvoted? sigh
I think you hit the nail on the head that one of the most important things a good teacher does is stress the important information.

You can pick up a book on anything (calculus, computer science, philosophy, etc) and just due to information-density, get lost in the minutia. A good teacher stresses the important points so you can get a broader understanding. Then you can go back for the minutia when it is needed.
You won’t need code for mutual TLS, certificate rotation, routing, canary load balancing, tracing, logging, service ACL, retries, circuit breakers, cross-region failovers and so on. The out of process proxy model makes these features portable across multiple stacks and programming languages too, which is a nice benefit.
What do you mean by "anything"? I haven't heard of any that can, say, power a whole house during a power outage, but plenty of cars (EV and ICE alike) have built-in (or add-on) inverters to plug in typical 120V or 230V devices.

That's a pretty comical and obvious reach as a statement. Did they (the West) erase Woody Allen's films and I missed it? I can't watch Roman Polanski's films? I can't listen to Michael Jackson's music? Amazon won't rent me films with Kevin Spacey in them (and authorities are going house to house confiscating the copies of his films)? Matt Lauer has been permanently erased from all YouTube videos?
And amusingly commenting about it downvotes you to hell, lol.
It's a great deal for me right now since my startup isn't making money and my income is very low. Live on the beach instead of basically the ghetto in San Diego. Many people speak English in Playas and so my limited Spanish hasn't been a big problem. Work from home so don't have to commute over the border. Can afford medication here -- for example one that is $400 in the US is less than $40 here.

Overall cost of living is more than 65% lower (random guess, maybe more).

If I decide to move on from this startup and my income doubles (which would not necessarily be very hard since it's so low right now) then I will probably move back to San Diego or at least the US. Even though 95% of the time it's great, the occasions when they turn the water off to fix leaks in the aqueduct or there is an electricity blackout or there are bad smells, all of that adds up to being less than ideal. But again, since that only happens a small portion of the time, it is still a good option for me right now. The neighborhood I am in (max Mex-touristy Playas de Tijuana) seems safe by the way.
I just tried it and it seems pretty great. I love that it’s free and have always disliked JIRA’s pricing

Restoration of a Ruby Test Suite
Bug: If you move the harmonic-count slider to the left and redraw the wave, the slider moves to the right... If you press Play right after redrawing the wave, the harmonics are there. If you keep spamming Play as the right side of the image animates into a filtered wave, the quieter (not necessarily upper) harmonics gradually fade into silence.
I have been doing the same on AOSP with the andOTP app. Can't get why large companies/universities have boners for proprietary crap like duo. A company comes along and says, "Here's some textbook standard stuff, and here we add our lock-in on top of it. Would you like the lock-in ?" And everyone says, "Yes please."

For those suffering, this helps: https://github.com/puddly/android-otp-extractor

Edit: Responding to your edit

>with the second one being very long and only known to your hardware. There are standards for this like totp and HOTP,

TOTP/HOTP don't provide phishing protection. Neither does Duo (which is largely HOTP), but that's a different issue.

>but instead of having basically password managers for these secret keys, we get SMS auth and duo and authy, with no way for a normal person to generate otp codes on their actual computer

SMS auth is terrible, but TOTP/HOTP are also hard to secure. There isn't a meaningful way of securing the secret, and computers are far more insecure than phones. You don't want your 2nd factor on the computer if that's your first factor too. So the right way forward is hardware based keys. However, it should all still be open standards based. Not some hacked up garbage that needs google play services.
I used to go on Facebook quite a lot, and then suddenly I just stopped. I haven't deleted my profile (a lot easier to find people I've lost touch with than trying to get a phone number or something) but for some reason it just doesn't tempt me, and it's very surprising. I'm on Reddit & YouTube far too much (and I would be here too much too if the front page weren't nearly so slow in comparison). I really just don't understand.
We had a similar issue with building milestones. IMHO milestones in clubhouse are a way for a PM to interrogate the completeness of high level initiatives which are made up of epics. What was missing was the ability to organize a group of stories than span multiple epics into an iteration that the engineering team could push toward delivery. The iteration is a unit that the dev manager and team can use to track the completeness of their commitments. Recently clubhouse introduced iterations, to assist dev managers in tracking their deliverables.

I have never been happier with a tool and am excited to explore their new offering.
What other types of employment are there?
Do you think an average user is more excited by animojis or faster matrix multiplies?
Does anyone know how stealth fighter aircraft are able to incorporate radar hardware that doesn't act like a giant retro reflector? Putting a radar array on the front of a stealth fighter just seems like painting a giant bullseye on it, even if it's not emitting.

I wonder if something like this could already be in use, since it becomes invisible to radar as soon as the plasma generator is turned off?
I've had a good number of conversations actually with some NASA FSW coders, and in general they're open to these ideas. NASA has a project with architectural and structural goals pretty well-aligned with what we set out to do at Kubos: https://cfs.gsfc.nasa.gov/Features.html

The biggest challenge is to prove that it works. The space software community historically is very conservative and risk-averse, and mostly for good reason. As Kubos (and hopefully others) get more flight heritage with Rust on the flight segment, it'll be a much easier sell.

That's the biggest obstacle I think. Someone will have to break the seal and establish that "Rust in Space" actually succeeds consistently, then larger "trad space" organizations will follow.
For most people it's supposedly something like 10^2.5 or ~300 people in your monkey sphere of varying levels of importance. So, in an exponential sort of way its decent rounding :P
Been using it for a few years and I love it. I started using it after everyone around me revolted against Pivotal, which they felt was too opinionated about how they should work. Clubhouse, by comparison, fit in a lot better for the people who weren’t developers.

I only worked somewhere that used Jira very briefly but I remember finding it extremely over built and enterprisey. Clubhouse is the polar opposite of those things.
One of the lenses that we look at things through when making product decisions is making it hard to do things that end up feeling like paper cuts for developers all day long.

I've always seen Jira as the "manager's tool" and we're trying to make Clubhouse the "developer's tool."

It's a simple decision that I think (and I'm obviously biased) has had some profound effects on the way we've built Clubhouse.

I'd buy this if Apple didn't start doing USB-C on their computers 3-4 years ago, If USB-C isn't where you want to go as Apple, fine, but be consistent across the product lines.
I somehow managed to get an almost invisible crack on the inside of the Gorilla glass a few years ago via a drop. Took it into an Apple Store for a screen replacement; they gave me a fresh out of the box phone for free (partially because they'd never seen that failure mode before, partially because they were busy and my slot got delayed 45 minutes.)

(Admittedly, the bloke next to me with the iPhone 4 arguing that the back glass had shattered "all on its own; I didn't drop it, honestly!" probably wasn't going to get a new phone for free...)
