Downright Ellisonian.

Given what we know know about the manipulative practices Castaneda used within his small cult, I have no problem seeing those observations as reflections of his inner psyche through the lens of shamanic ritual and intoxicants, possibly amplified for artistic purposes.

>> I have not observed these myself and I don’t think there’s instrumentation to confirm or rebutt these observations.

The only instrumentation one has to confirm or rebut the experience of shamanic mystics is the practice of shamanic mysticism.
I would be wary of functions that take several parameters regardless if they are of the same type -- at that point you're already going to have to look into the documentation.
To add to the chorus, Threadripper has been incredible for deep learning related workloads, partly for the high core count for prepping batches, but also because it can support multiple GPUs and gobs of RAM. If you have a lot of big compile jobs, it shines there too.
I think this is a plot in one of the new Star Trek discovery episodes in season 2. "The Sound of Thunder" if I believe.

I am surprised that Github went with S3 for this download. Isn't there a Azure equivalent of S3 for large object storage ? This just shows the dominance of AWS.

Job 1: Founders not present in day-to-day activities, hired authoritarian manager that didn't understand the business. When my salary was late for the 3rd time, I quit. Went to work for a multinational, with better pay and more interesting challenges.

Job 2: Bored after 4 years and wasn't allowed to change teams.

Job 3: Very long commute and team lead was very unethical (lying to directors about technical issues, abusing budget, etc).

Job 4: Infrastructure renovation project was cancelled after they were bought by Google. It became a dead end job.

Job 5: Got offered more benefits and better pay at another company.

Job 6: Got bored after 2 years and there was nothing they could do, unfortunately. Great people though.

Job 7: NGO. Got bored after 4 years.

Job 8: NGO (Top 5 website in the world). Sold itself as solid engineering place. Turned out to be very political. Left after 8 months only.

Job 9: Still here. Might leave if I can't move the needle on engineering practices (most likely for political reasons)
> I'm holding my breath, waiting for it to run just as smoothly on linux, and developing some developer cultural cachet and libraries for servers.

Apple Swift developers are actively working Linux support, but I suppose it'll forever remain a second-tier platform to iOS & macOS. Kind of like C# to Windows, but Swift doesn't have its Miguel de Icaza to create its Mono on Linux.

I'm sure the Swift team is well aware of this cultural bottleneck, hence the current efforts to support Linux, but it remains a cultural chicken-and-egg problem.
The oculus ones... minimally. Other companies though, yes. The HP Reverb is especially good for things like flight sims
I can't share too much detail. Long story short, I have to get that cert asap. (as in, within the next week or so).
Work is covering it, and last week I did a 4 day training.

There's a lot to the exam I get, simply from experience. I'm getting slaughtered on the Azure CLI stuff since I simply cannot get the syntax to stick, no matter how many times I re-run through the labs.
The brains in almost all intelligent animals, from humans to crocodiles, evolved once. The most recent common ancestor of you and the average salamander had a brain that wasn't that much different than ours. It's not particularly surprising that both dogs and humans dream, because our most recent common ancestor was only a few tens of millions of years ago.

The most recent common ancestor between humans and octopuses was hundreds of millions of years ago. That ancestor wasn't dumb the way a frog is dumb, it was dumb the way a clam is dumb. It quite literally did not have a brain.

So yes, it's weird that both octopuses and the other branch of intelligent life both dream. That's interesting, and it tells us something about intelligence. If both birds and bats, who developed flight independently, both had sonar and bad vision, that would be interesting, and would tell us something about flight.

That and, assuming those students are even real. Regardless of the truth or falsehood of the contents, it's quite the strawman regardless.
I'm a bit surprised by the general tone of the comments on this.

Not using BCC on group threads like the one mentioned is essentially a PII breach. The fact that this was an organization responsible for the care of minors, which refused to remove someone who was erroneously given access to that data, definitely warrants concern.

If the author had found a security vulnerability in a school website, responsibly disclosed it, and deleted all information gathered, I doubt they would be getting the same level of side eye.
It seems like a Hackintosh would actually be the better choice if you're worried about Apple moving to ARM, since you could run Windows or Linux on it without relying on Apple for driver support.
I’m not sure how you justify this? If one is going to define politics along a spectrum like left to right, fascism is going to be grouped with other political systems that tend toward nationalism and nativist policies.

I am not familiar with the details of their business.

But I assume they got the goodwill into their balance sheet by typical mismanagement:

1. Their markets are shrinking

2. Instead of shrinking company operations to adapt, they buy even less successful competitors for an overprice, so goodwill in the balance sheet

3. Not unsurprisingly integrating the not so successful competitor into the company is not so successful, employees are demotivated abd business suffers even more

4. Now a company with growing costs operating on a shrinking market gets even less profitable

I don't claim healthily shrinking a company to adapt to a shrinking market is easy. But I'm sure it must be doable. Looks like business management largely fails in this discipline.
If history is any judge, four years from now, it will no longer be modern. And those people who have spent time and money investing into gatsby will be looking to leave for something else.

I still prefer Hugo 1000x over this, especially because I don't have to deal with npm
check out my reply above - the owing my career to gatsby is very much about my specific story - a story that is probably very different from most hackernews contributors but maybe some aspects of it are more common for the lurkers here, of which I am one.

I would honestly be interested to know how many self taught people making things work building basic sites for unglamorous corners of the internet cruise this site.

To be honest I don't really feel welcome here because I'm not sophisticated (prob the best word for it) enough. But that's ok.
Google. Facebook. WeWork. Airbnb. Microsoft. For starters.
Forbes does not meaningfully fact check this list. An acquaintance of mine got on it by taking credit for the work of others she worked with. If they called even a single person to corroborate her story it would have fallen apart.

I don't doubt that some genuinely notable people are mixed into this list, but it's impossible to take Forbes' word for any of them.
Yes that would be really cool. The field of program synthesis has made strides in this area but it doesn't appear you can create anything more than trivial programs from human languages at the moment. I think that you are more likely to see technology that augments the human significantly -- for example better code completion, error detection etc. that allows you to work much faster. It will be exciting to see how machine learning shapes developer tools and workflows in the future.
So poor choices and poor behavior by the author aside.

I'm not really sure how much of the information gathered would surprise that many people. The suggestions seem like something that some local TV "security expert" would give along with the always useless "don't download apps you don't trust" kind of advice.
What ever else you think of this piece, it's worthwhile to know what The New Criterion is and what it represents. Though I suppose "Avidly Pro-Trump Literary Journal" is a concept that easily clears HN's bar for "intellectually interesting".
It's simply not true.

They have used organs from executed prisoners as mentioned. Some of those prisoners would have been 'terrorists' which might mean differing things. They also might execute when it's best for patients.

But otherwise where is the proof they are killing based only on religious or ethnic minorities? Let alone killing just for organs.

Did we learn nothing from the premature babies in Kuwait stories. Our ongoing hated of other cultures allows these fake stories to propagate.

Although problematic, using executed prisoners makes sense. And China executes a lot of people, which makes as much sense as the USA.

Pick something like the Sujiatun story and research it, the un-collaborated evidence of someone who didn't even see it themselves? It doesn't add up -

iOS version, I'm not sure precisely, maybe two versions back from whatever is current.

The device was / is setup using my account since I'm not ready to let them have their own account - whether it's a child account or otherwise. I don't use iDevices though, so there's no security compromise between what I want to be able to with the account and what restrictions I want on the kids.

I had specified a password was required for any purchase, and to my knowledge this was still the case when the incident occurred. The additional locking down was done via the (relatively new at the time) Screen Time restrictions, plus requiring a password for ANY app installs (free or paid).

My assumption (and that's all it is) is that because the trial was free, it was allowed without a password, where the "gotcha" is the auto-pay upon trial expiry. I also assume that this subscription process was started due to an in-game advertisement dark pattern that lead towards unknowningly signing-up.

(I will accept without argument some amount of blame on the "bad parent deserved it for not observing their kids' device activity" spectrum. Also if there are additional restrictions on children's accounts - but I have my own squeamishness about setting up account details for a minor)
Time Travel Is Close to Madness in the Mind-Bending Undone (Possible Spoilers)
For a slightly more lofty version, see Orwell's 'Politics and the English Language'[1], and in particular its six rules:

i. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

ii. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

iii. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

iv. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

v. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

vi. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

I take issue with your tone and cynicism, and disagree w/ your premise. Your sarcasm and condescension aren't helpful. And there's no way your "couple hundred lines of code" addressed more than a fraction of the real-world use cases addressed by Gatsby. You cast aspersions on a huge swath of your peers who work with the best tools at hand to solve difficult problems... it's not just arrogant, it's ignorant. IME it's the ultimate poser/hipster move to denigrate modern web dev (your so-called "Cool Kid Stack"), while ignoring the ways in which the world has changed (and become more complicated and challenging) since you formed your ideas about simple HTML-generating scripts being sufficient to meet the requirements of a modern web application. The true "continuous source of churn and maintenance work" is the problem space -- endlessly diverse clients on radically heterogenous devices with highly variable network conditions, and end-user expectations that only ever ratchet in the direction of faster, more secure, more reliable, more polished experiences. I feel your pain about keeping up with tools that can empower teams to address these challenges; but to suggest that the stack is to blame, that the complexity is unnecessary and arises from self-interested outfits looking to build a moat? Nonsense.

I write all this as a 21-year veteran of web development-related work, and in the spirit of respectful disagreement.

I bought a used Dell workstation with a 8c16t Xeon E5-2670 and 32GB ECC DDR3 RAM a few years ago. It's a bit outdated now, but it's still faster than the most laptops (for multi core workloads). At the time I had a MacBook Air, so this completely blew it out the water. I remember one time while trying to debug an issue I had 10 docker instances of our CI running (Rails + Cucumber + Firefox) and there was absolutely no performance impact to the desktop experience.

Last year I bought a T470s with 20GB DDR4 and an i7 (U series) as I was mostly working away from home. It's good enough for most of the work I do, but it can be a bit slow at times. The processor just isn't as fast and the integrated graphics struggle with a 4K desktop (I think that's mainly Linux/GNOME being unoptimised though). I haven't noticed it throttling, but my workload usually isn't that CPU intensive.

If you mainly work from home I'd definately suggest building a desktop machine for your needs.

[throwaway for obvious reasons]

As one of the people who initiated the hidden likes test on Instagram, I can confidently and authoritatively say you're incorrect. There was no ill intent. It was solely to see if we could make people feel less self conscious by decreasing social comparison. Our hope was to decrease the pressure normal people feel about sharing their lives with their friends and family. We thought this might improve some long-term metrics, but once we discussed the rationale for the test with leadership, the well-being opportunity trumped any impact on metrics--positive or negative.

Also, we [IG] did this first, and we started it for the right reasons. Blue followed our lead. Believe it or not, there are people who give a shit about well-being at FB.

Donald Trump's talking points on climate change
The Current 2990WX is typically slower. For example, rendering is a strong point of Zen: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13748/the-intel-xeon-w-3175x-... but here it is behind. The Mac Pro's Xeon W would be slower than that tested Xeon W in multithread but faster in lightly threaded workloads.

But AMD said new workstation chips are coming in November. This could be up to 64-core Threadripper chips with PCIe4 support. Though we have no idea on the clock rates so it is possible these Xeon W CPUs may still come out ahead in lightly threaded performance, especially with AVX-512.
The climate models (which were to record temp) were wrong? At the time weather was getting cold yearly. It made sense with the data available.

Which climate change model do you find correct? Why are there model(s), shouldn't only one correct one exist? Are people still making new models?
Languages that prefer immutable variables by default would be a better solution for that than introducing two new types, surely. Reassignment of a variable should be a code smell in nearly all contexts that don't involve a loop.

I thought about saying, “What gas?” But I just congratulated him on his (wife’s) new car.

(I drive a TM3, is why he approached me.)
Do you really think that peer-reviewed scientists, who are the experts in their field, are on the same par as a totalitarian government, in terms of how accurately they can understand and model reality and make accurate predictions?
