It almost sounds like you're experiencing a kind of post-partum depression.

I would recommend that you not "quit", but rather "step back." If you've launched the project, and it's being used, then how much more do you really need to do?

You must have monitoring that you can check occasionally, so maybe you can just let the thing simmer[0] for a while. Take your mind off it, do some other stuff that you enjoy, then take a look at your logs in December. The watched pot and all that.

"The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than European Americans, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of European Americans victims killed by European Americans, and 93% of African Americans victims were killed by African Americans.". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_S....

How does overpolicing explain both arrest for murder rate and victim of murder rate have a significantly higher prevalence within black community?
I thought I saw a serial cable port on the shaft - I'm guessing it's wireless and battery powered?
That was funny. Looks like it cost a few karma points, but I appreciated the humor at this point in thread.
I recall that in Android if an app doesn't release control of the camera then no other app can access it until the phone is rebooted. I suspect this is what was happening here. AFAIK, it isn't a bug with the phone hardware etc. just poor os design. Hopefully they'll fix it one day.

Thanks. Right, I know Pulsar is built on top of BK — it's just unclear how much extra value it adds.

I'm looking at using BK for a WAL-like component for a document store. It does involve multiple (many!) consumers tailing the log, but unlike your typical Kafka setup, there's need for no partitioning.

I was unsure of whether BK provides an API that's nice to use for non-Java languages like Go and Rust, which is what we use. Apache projects written in Java (or Scala), particularly those in the Hadoop ecosystem, tend to be very JVM-centric, and often they're impossible to use from other languages because there's no non-Java API. Kafka is an outlier here, but it certainly started out with a Java-only client and it took years for non-Java clients to mature enough to be usable.

I thought I saw that BK had a REST API, but now I see that it's just an admin API. From what I can tell, it's exactly like every other Apache Java project — there's a big monolithic Java client that's tightly coupled with the server, and to write a client in any other language you'd have to reverse-engineer it and essentially port the whole thing, because it's a "fat client" — it looks like it talks directly to ZooKeeper and "bookies", and has a lot of logic built in. The Bookie protocol looks like it's binary and hand-coded (not gRPC or anything nice). So disappointing! /rant

Edit: Looks like the files I was looking at are generated from Protobuf. So, yay. Unfortunately, that's just the Bookie protocol. The main client is still fat and in Java.
What a Bull shit answer, blaming millennials as it cuts back on dining-car meals. He keeps cutting services, as station agents, you have one person looking over 2-3 cars. Keep reading all the articles about Richard Anderson, he is an airline person, and I read that he still has a large amount of stock in airlines, I believe that is a conflict of interest. 90% of the people who eat in the diner are sleeping car passengers, very rarely do you see coach passengers eating in the diner. I hope he goes before he destroys all of the Railway clubs who rely on Amtrak for excursions that keep railway history alive for future generations. Pitifull !!! He needs to go!!!
I'm not a quantum physicist either, but I did study quantum mechanics in college for a bit!

> A qubit can be |1>, but it could also be (1/sqrt(2) |0>) + (1/sqrt(2) |1>). We call that a "cat" state, incidentally, because it's "half 1, half 0"--like Schroedinger's Cat, half alive and half dead. Again, the coefficients here are, in general, complex numbers, but we're gonna gloss over that.

In case anyone is interested in not glossing over this part, this [0] lecture by Scott Aaronson is an excellent introduction to the crazy world of complex probability amplitudes. It doesn't assume much more than some basic linear algebra, and does a good job of developing at least a little bit of an intuition for some of the concepts in Aphyr's comment.

Murder is rather easy to define. There is a dead body with holes in his/her head, there is a murder. The tragedy being that murder is way more prevalent in the black community, partly because of underpolicing.
For this purpose it does realtime database, faas, scheduling, pub/sub, authentication, file storage, notifications and web hosting.

Pro-Tip: Use it with autossh for automatically reconnecting during computer standby / internet drops. Use iTerm for a 'native' feel to tmux (ex. copy/paste, tabs, history, etc). I used to use Mosh + TMux for super durable connections and that worked beautifully. Unfortunately Mosh doesn't play well with ITerm's native integration so you can achieve a poor man's Mosh by using http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/.

All-together it looks something like this: Open iTerm. autossh -t myRemoteHost "tmux -CC -A"

I think the negative effects spread further because they skew the field more. I think women are more likely to avoid FOSS because there are few women, even without knowing who RMS is, than men are likely to go into FOSS because of RMS or someone who was inspired by RMS. That's an assumption on my part, but I think making tech more equitable for all people is a worthy goal in itself, even if that doesn't increase the total number of contributors.

> Which things specifically, and in what way?

Saying that we shouldn't call sexual assault "sexual assault", and implying that there's any way a rich, famous, 73-year-old man can "have sex with" (rape) a 17-year-old girl, whom he has extraordinary power over, and who, in in this case was his friend's trafficking victim.

The idea that Minsky's "honour" is in any way more important than harm in what happened to Giuffre perpetuates rape culture. It perpetuates the idea that women are worth less than men, and that it's okay for famous men in CS to rape girls. That emboldens other rapists and makes CS very unwelcoming for rape victims.

Minsky should have known. Implying there's any way what he did was okay creates an unwelcoming environment for women, especially young women and girls at MIT.

Amen to this. tmux is nifty by itself but the native experience is SO much better.
Previously, sharing bicycles company (Mobike) in China used similar chainless bikes in their businesses for ease of maintenance. But they were later replaced by traditional ones because chainless bicycles were usually much heavier and consumed more energy from riders. Very curious about how people in the article solved this problem.
Good point, I've been down that rabbit hole myself.
temporal uniqueness. Art in a museum is locked in a gated vault, like a website is locked to a version number. Ephemera is when you walk past your favorite street art and a piece of the pasted image was scraped or defaced, or when another artist or rando with a pen or a can added something in response. An ephemeral website is one that you hope will be different when you refresh it. There's an element of chance and the content is the reward. To an extent, aggregators have long embodied this characteristic I feel.
The term of art is freedom of contract:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_contract

Freedom of contract is a basic prequisite of a free society. It's a subset of free association.

>Unless you consider a government to be nothing more than a contract-enforcement entity

In a free society the government exists only to restrict action in order to protect rights, which extends to the rights one gains through contracts, and to administer public goods for the public benefit.

In a free society the government does not restrict the right of two consenting adults to engage in a mutually voluntary interaction.

There's absolutely no excuse for laws that restrict the right of someone to offer employment terms that reserve the right to fire someone for unionizing or going on a strike.

>Further, describing a constitutional law as a violation of rights is in a sense a reverse tautology.

That's a disingenuous appeal to legality. Law does not confer moral legitimacy.

Personally, if anyone cares, the most important thing someone like me needs eyes on them to keep accountability against abuse. Basically I need help defending my right to peace, civil rights.

Empowerment, opportunity come second, I think.

I don't know much about the system. I'm not interested or in-need of explicit welfare or handouts, and everything else was a massive waste of time.

Hate and abuse, tyranny, bullying, whatever you call it I think can happen to anyone, or any group, but it usually happens to people who were weak, or who experienced it before. Once it happens more than once you become such a target for opportunists, and pariah for everyone else who is "just following their self-interest."

I honestly don't even know what the best thing to do is.
The machine always tells the truth, but it is unbearable for some.
"Poor investments can contribute to a fund’s weak performance, but so can decisions to put too little money into startups that ultimately turn into smashes."

I'd guess the problem is the opposite. Too much money into startups that fail.

VC is hard now because there's so much money chasing startups. The valuations they're getting are absurd. When you pay twice as much, your hit gives you have the return and your failure twice the loss. VC has been a pretty poor investment historically, and the high valuations now are really hurting.
> You don't really use it to expose public services

Why not? Google Cloud certainly does. Google Ads also exposes gRPC API. Google Assistant SDK is basically gRPC too. You get efficient typed client libraries in 10 or more languages for free. No reason not to consider it for public-facing endpoints.

This sad news is buried here on HN but surfaced on my Twitter timeline. Surprised there isn’t more empathy or anecdotes going around to bring light to issues surrounding this situation. There is a real need to humanize work in our industry and heed mental health. Work is hard, and this lost life speaks to how terrible reality becomes when work and identity has is unbalanced, too tightly coupled.

The contemporary misinterpretation of the mattress aside, RMS already had already earned his reputation in the 90s, as had at least one other OSS luminary of the time.

Case in point: RMS's incredibly uncomfortable St iGNUcius routine was already legendary.[0]

Does he intend for it to be awkward at best, and offensive at worst? I doubt it. Has people told him that it is not received as he intends? Definitely. Does he change his behavior to better reflect his purported views of inclusiveness? Nope.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what you intend your actions to be interpreted, it only matters how they actually are interpreted. That failure to adapt to clear feedback, is problem.

> Especially consider that the kind of person who is willing to shave off 30 seconds a commute by cutting through a neighborhood

Just a point here, part of the reason maps sucks so bad is that it directs people on these anti-social second shaving paths without informing them.

Maps says turn here... but it doesn't warn you that it's turning you into an antisocial jerkwad (or that its advice is expected to save you 10 seconds but at the expense of a 5% chance of adding 10 minutes and at a cost of at least $1 in more gas).

Often maps suggestions really don't make sense, even ignoring the anti-social factors, once you consider N-th percentile times or fuel costs... but you don't get to choose, they choose for you. Even if you force a particular route, google will frequently try to reroute you back onto whatever they think is the most seconds-shaving.

Your option is to not use the map... which isn't really a great option, since much of the time the map pretty helpful.

As someone who quit cigarettes 5 years ago, but still chews 2mg gum (12 of them per day, about), you did for sure heh. Wasn't until I stopped smoking that I realised how bad it smelled.

Also how good food tastes when I could taste stuff properly again!

I feel like that is pretty sensationalized. The argument being made there is that regular birth is a common thing, and should be left off the list unless it is something out of the ordinary.

You could achieve the same with basically any decent concurrency model on a single machine.
But consider the possibility that this might be perfectly rational behaviour for people who care about some side of the cause (even if it comes at the expense of HN as a forum): the victory condition for any belief is to be so universally accepted that its negation can not be expressed in polite company. If you come into a HN thread believing X and then see that every post stating X got downvoted into oblivion, maybe you will think twice before mentioning that you believe X next time you are considering to do so in any setting, real-life or online, that you have a persistent identity of any value in. The next undecided person in that setting might never hear the case for X and come to believe not-X to be as uncontroversial as gravity, and before long it will actually come to be.

A Less Than 0% Chance – Intro to Quantum Mechanics
I don't know how that would work since the teacher could reboot the device or hit/swipe home to exit the fake app. If the fake app was in guided access mode, they'd see a pin input instead of a home screen.

The only way to fool the teacher would be to jailbreak the device. The 6s running iOS 9 is the most recent untethered jailbreak. All newer devices and iOS versions will revert back to stock kernel after reboot. That means no jailbreak features and the home button & guided access mode work normally.

So to fool the teacher you'd need:

- An iPhone 6s or earlier

- Running iOS 9 or earlier

- With an untethered jailbreak (Pangu9)

- Running a fake app that behaves just like the app

- And behaves like iOS's guided access mode

I think that's difficult enough to discourage the vast majority of cheaters. If the school really wanted to, they could hand out loaners to the students with old iOS devices. They'll need a bunch for the students with and Android devices anyway.
Perhaps it will make more sense to explain how a D-Wave machine works, as (a) they actually exist and you can use one today for free online, and (b) it's way simpler than a gate model QC is.

Imagine a bunch of magnets. Imagine forcing them into a "frustrated" configuration; maybe you have them all on a grid, and you have servomotors that can rotate them to face any way you like. The servomotors are strong, so counteracting the magnetic forces is easy for them. You design an appropriately frustrated configuration, and then release all of the magnets at once. What configuration do they rotate into?

A quantum annealer is conceptually similar. Each qubit, on a regular, patterned graph, has connections to its neighbours. You can leave these alone (no corellation) or tune them up to +/- 1, corresponding to "must be the same as this other qubit" and "must be different than this other qubit". You can also bias each individual qubit to be a 0 or a 1.

Then, you let it go, and it anneals, and you observe the result. Your goal is to get to the _lowest energy state_ possible: the least possible frustration remaining.

In our magnet example, it would be as few magnets as possible wanting to move - if you poked them with your finger they'd want to go back into their current state. You could imagine that your magnets might not get down to their absolute lowest energy state; maybe it would take too much energy to flip from their starting state to that lower state. In a quantum system, because of tunneling, the system can reach these lower ground states. Rather than being in a fixed position the way our magnets were, qubits are in a quantum superposition, so they can reach a lower energy state without having to climb up that energy hill. Or so we're lead to believe by the numbers, anyway; I'm not a physicist.

Now, if you can map some useful computational question onto the original configuration of qubits that is answered by the ending position, you've got yourself a useful quantum computer. This is the hard part! The key is to use optimization algorithms where a lower energy state = a more optimized result. If you can do this, there's a ton of employment waiting for you.

Then, if you want "quantum supremacy", it's matter of providing more optimized answers in less time, particularly as the problem scales up in complexity. There does indeed appear to be a crossover point coming in a decade or so, at least for the small class of real-world problems that the Ising Hamiltonian works for.
You are not wrong. But it is all about saving money on labor. The rest are just the constraints of the system you use. (Aka requirements) its like complaining about the need to use posix for Linux.
> As long as that is the case, they will win, because the test companies don't want to deal with people having internet access and notes.

They are not winning because they have no competition. You don't win when you are alone on a market. As the article shows they have also massively lobbied to make sure textbooks make TI specific exercises which is just mindboggling.
How do you find the Rustica? I wanted to have a crack at growing it in my entheogen garden
A road in a random neighborhood is still important to me even if I can't cut through it: The mere fact that I can easily travel to any destination connected by it is very valuable, even if I don't frequently use that ability for any single specific road segment. In addition to my own use, its very useful to me that other people I interact with can reach those properties (so that they can live near by and engage in commerce and friendship with me).

A complete road network has greater value than the sum of its components in isolation, and this is true even for components even where you can't use them for non-destination travel.

Following your logic, any sub-graph of roads that can't be transited to other subgraphs should entirely be paid for by the connected properties-- and that clearly is not how we do things.

Moreover, the "if I can, I should" thinking strongly incentives making neighborhoods into single-access navigational cul-de-sacs, which creates worse traffic for everyone when the local traffic for the neighborhood gets funneled into a single choke point and causes congestion.

A month or two ago I saw an image on reddit from florida where someone showed that it was an 8-mile drive to their backdoor neighbor due to a lack of connectivity between neighborhoods. ... that's the kind of garbage roadway network design we'd get if we can only use raw connectivity control the load and character of use of roadways.

I used PM2[1] as process manager for Node.js, Python services in the cloud servers. It did its job well, apart from ensuring that process is always up, it provided monitoring capabilities(incl. emails), capturing logs from the stdout among other things.

Recently I wanted to manage a Golang service, found that PM2 is not stable for it yet and I didn't want to install Node.js just for managing the Golang service; so used Tmux for it. It keeps the process up, we can get the basic process stats as in any terminal and I use external monitoring service for alerts when the service is down[2].
