> For real it means that the devs and ops collaborate

Yes. The most simple, boiled-down definition is that: collaboration. But how the f%&k do you do that?

You might say, "Oh I dunno, they'll just figure it out." But guess what? People have spent their entire lives trying to figure out how to get random teams to collaborate better. It's hard. It's harder than coding, harder than supporting an app in production. It's not something you get good at by just doing engineering and hoping for the best.

And that is the entire reason DevOps was invented. A bunch of engineers basically got together and said, "Shit. We need to collaborate better. And we've known that for a while, but it's just not happening. What can we actually _do_ to collaborate better, and produce better outcomes?" Over the past decade, there has been a lot of collaboration on how to do better collaboration. This topologies page is a very small example of what they've found.

I think that to engineers, DevOps can seem like a buzzword because there's all this stupid-sounding "business stuff" that people keep tacking onto DevOps. But the reason that happens is there are people whose job it is to help people collaborate better, and produce better outcomes, who have spent their lives working on these problems, and are trying to apply them to technology-related businesses. A lot of the things they've figured out are built on other things that have proven successful in the past, such as Lean manufacturing/software, Agile software development, and all the many other business strategies developed and practiced over the last century. Many companies, both large and small, have applied these ideas and seen real results from them.

> DevOps is just a buzzword.

"Cloud" is also a buzzword, as well as "Agile", but they are real things that real people use every day. Misunderstood? Absolutely; but definitely real.

Surprisingly, I found one in Carterville, Illinois back in the early 2000s. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen outside an episode of “3-2-1 Contact” back in the early 80s.

I distinctly remember watching television, seeing a street full of these things and thinking, “Why would anyone want an electric car? They look stupid.” And you know what? The did. Every electric car looked stupid, including General Motors’s EV-1. That is until the Tesla Roadster.

Tesla may eventually flame out in a pile of debt and mismanagement, but Tesla changed the industry by making practical electric cars that looked like cars that someone would want to buy. There’s no going back from that. Kudos.
No thanks, homeboy. I’m not gonna dance. You can go defend your alt-right words like “virtue signaling”, “SJW”, “cancel culture”, and all the other toxic trash you spew somewhere else, thanks.
The Wikipedia page says having a defroster button was a federal regulation.
Yes I understand that the naive position may be used as a default position for understanding ideas, and that is fine.

That doesn't stop us from acknowledging the fact that ideas and worldviews have strong ties and are intermingled enough that they almost always warrant an underlying motivation whether that be a noble search for truth or a way of digging further into denial.
Plastic is oil molecules, sorted and rearranged.
That’s not just the effect, it’s the mechanism of action for chemo — right?

It takes advantage of cancers rerouting blood and being overly aggressive in gathering resources to make those the first of your cells to die as you’re poisoned to death, on the theory that there’s some slightly sublethal dosage that kills only some of your cells (and hopefully, the cancerous ones).
We probably agree about most of this stuff, but the way you're putting this is not helping.
Backtracking life decisions like that is fun :)

But I find it hard to believe that HPC in the cloud is cheaper than HPC on bare metal, assuming high load most of the time. For computing weather models, that should he the case.
Tbh, some part of me sees a not-too-distant future where companies harvest the garbage jires for profit.
Planes are extremely expensive pieces of machinery and you don't make money if you're not flying passengers with them. I'd be more surprised if they weren't in the air as many hours as possible.
And it will end up being used by fewer people, after which their telemetry will indicate that fewer than X % of people are using the feature thus they will claim it's justified to remove it.
I maybe wrong but rust uses a dfa regex engine, while pcre uses backtracking. So in theory rust's regex engine should be faster...
I just want them to let me pick my own god damned name for the home folder. I hate the weird shit they pick for me.
You're breaking the site guidelines in multiple ways. Would you please review them and stop doing this? We've had to ask you several times before.

It is cowardly, if he actually did not ask him to leave. But it seems you don't know that, just made the assumption and jumped to the conclusion.
The reason they do it is to avoid the redraw when hiding/showing the address bar. If you use JavaScript you get that performance issue. Having been bit by this issue, I think chrome and Safari made the wrong decision. We worked around it with JavaScript, which I'm sure performs worse and was a pain to implement.
I think having to type the wrong answer in deliberately multiple times or complete the process without internet access is beyond unfriendly.

That's interesting, but in practice, since the hotel has the right to enter the room at any time, and no hotel is going to piss off the police department (whom they also rely on to remove troublesome guests), the hotel can just let the police in.

Usage of said word will only get your posts to be [flagged] [dead], it is up to you, if you want your post to stay on hackernews or not.

Mind you, I do not have any authority in this matter. It is just my personal observation that posts that call people SJWs end up dying, just like posts that call people nazis.
Interesting to see this car drive through the streets I grew up on in Ferguson, Missouri.
SMT solvers (which are a generalization of SAT solvers) are quite useful for program verification and symbolic execution.
It is a dark pattern because it is from a corporation that know what they are doing and had passed all the internal UI/UX tests. At this time it should be punished as well as its difficult to avoid telemetry issues.
That's a pretty clear dark pattern, no?

At the very least, it signals that Microsoft really doesn't want users creating offline accounts. Which is troubling, because their TOS for online accounts is quite onerous, and includes a couple of problematic restrictions, including a mandatory arbitration agreement.

If I was a Windows user who relied on local accounts this would be very worrying to me.
I setuped a Windows VM today.
It's still easy to do, but you need to know where it is, or to persist like me: clicking around then i found it behind "set up for organization" and "domain join instead".
I understand correcting the title to be more accurate to the situation, but I think the discussion should be focused on how Microsoft is taking power away from users, and has business incentive to do so. I don't like that the greater tech community rallies behind Microsoft for doing some basic contributions to open source and then hand waves away moves like this.

Edit: the comment section has shifted and I'm less disappointed.
> Well, they are having to align some number of sensors

> ensuring sufficient overlap to ensure that they can

> process the images together.

It would be much easier to avoid the issue of stitching altogether and simply process the images separately, then merge the resulting output data. As far as I'm aware, you're not going to find a GPU that can process a 500MP image efficiently.
My father was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago. He is on his third round of chemo. I recommend reading "The Emperor of all Maladies" for an insightful book on cancer. Even though medicine has made great progress fighting cancer, the scorched earth approach is what most of these treatments come down to.
My old roommate repaired one of these a few years ago and drove around in it often (in Mountain View). It was a bit impractical because of the max speed (30mph) and range, but fun to ride in once
Chemotherapy is scary. It seems so counterintuitive to choose to inflict this kind of damage to oneself, in the hopes that it will prevent an even worse outcome.

Part of it is that there is this nagging feeling that it might not even be the right approach, given the legion of side effects of all kinds. Even oncologists get vague and evasive when this is questioned. In the end we can only rely on generalized statistics about survival rates, unsure of how it applies to individual situations.

I disagree with the anger people often show towards cancer. It's like people project some kind of malignant personality onto the phenomenon. I think of it as a natural part of life, like early hair loss. You can die from it, but death comes anyway, for one reason or another. At least with cancer you have time to get used to the idea, unlike an accident, heart attack or whatever. I guess I am a bit of a fatalist.
Ask HN: As a foreigner, form LLC or C Corp?
I've been wanting to incorporate my bootstrapped bussiness for a while because of numerous reasons (residence country is not bussiness friendly, capital & currency controls, bad economy, etc).

Currently I am looking at incorporating in the US through stripe atlas as an LLC however it seems that stripe discourages it because it can create "complicated tax situations" for the foreing owner.

Are there any international founders who can give some more insight about it and if instead its better to create a C Corp (with all the tax & bureocratic overhead it comes with)

Thanks
Down With Dewey: Why librarians removed his name from one of their awards
The online account is crap. I converted my offline account recently to the online one, just to see what's the difference.

The difference is that I cannot even set a password, it asks me to set up a PIN number to log in. Of course you can set it to accept letters in your PIN, so it can function as a regular password.

But what the hell is the point?

(In fact, I didn't set any PIN the first time and at the next reboot I had to log in with my Microsoft account password, which is decidedly more complicated that the not-very-secure one I use to log in my PC. Thank god I have a password manager on my phone.)
why do people still use windows? It's stupid and naive to ask that, but I keep wondering why devs aren't successful in getting changes made at their companies.

I agree it's a dark pattern. I've seen much worse dark patterns though, so it's hardly beyond that.
Seems like the flamegraph he took of his Rust program shows it using backtracking, maybe for the specific regexp he is using it's unable to use a DFA:

Ha-ha-ha, that's the only reason I do that too. E.g. create a local account first, then sign-in.
This seems like it is preparatory to removing it entirely.

It wouldn't be shocking if in 10 years you need a Microsoft account to use windows on a computer you don't have root access to that isn't allowed to run a non ms os or to
distribute software that ms gets a 30% cut.

If it isn't so it will be because they don't think they can get away with it.
I know, but that means very little. Paper is quite different from glucose, even though cellulose is just a polymer of it.
It was just good natured fun.

The vehicle is clearly not production ready. Doors which don't have a latching mechanism (apparently use friction to remain closed), poor braking, 3-position switch for acceleration, defroster and AC which are ersatz and provide no function but rather like those "cross road buttons" . Kit cars are probably better quality.

It's a crazy thing to say, "start the installer without a network connection and you'll suddenly get a new option in the installer." Or, "when the installer asks you for your email, keep spamming invalid responses until it gets frustrated and unlocks the ability to skip the prompt."

That doesn't sound like a sensible UX flow, or even a UX flow with consumer-unfriendly prompts and directions. It sounds like a video game cheat code or easter egg.
99% of all people using the term “SJW” are acting in bad faith. It makes sense to dismiss anything using that term. Downvote. If on reddit, look at their history and marvel how many people using that term post to t_d and affiliated subreddits, shake your head at the world today and move on.
It's a stupid question to ask, yes.

I work on macOS, but I have a Windows partition for gaming. Simple as that.

Keeping parents (or whoever) from interfering by keeping them uninformed sounds like a dirty hack rather than a good design. Whoever should not interfere but does not know they should not should better be taught just this.
Hey dude was wondering how this comment made you feel:

> Cloud monitoring is a saturated market.

It's like yeah, it's saturated but it's saturated because the infrastructure is we're hosting it on is still and forever changing. Take some serverless CloudFormation in AWS; there was no good solution for application monitoring until someone specifically started solving for it because no one in their right mind was going to use CloudWatch and none of the other existing monitoring solutions/tools could fit the bill either unless they started from scratch and solved for that specific new infrastructure.

<Insert shameless Epsagon plug here />

The Cloud monitoring market might seem saturated but that's because there is no "silver bullet" solution given how much infrastructure has been and continues to change.
>Either run the setup without being connected to the internet, or type in a fake phone number a few times and it will give you the prompt to create a local account.”

This is something I really can't see the average user doing honestly.
Wow reading this just brought a kindergarten memory for me.

We had laminated apples on the wall, and if we were bad we got a worm sticker stuck on it for a week, we called it getting a "wormy apple".

One day I was listening to an audio book with headphones and didn't hear the teacher call us back, so all at once she snatched the headphones off me, asked me why I don't listen, and gave me a wormy apple. I remember it to this day, I felt so wronged because I was doing an "approved activity" and felt I was punished for it. Seeing the worm on my apple made me cry and I never listened to audio books in that classroom again.

So I don't know if making that sort of stuff electronic will be better or worse but I know I didn't like systems like that at all.
I don't like it from the security perspective, looking at just how many vulnerabilities PHP-based software has had, it's too trivial to create a XSS, SQLi, CSRF, LFI, RCE and many other classes of vulnerabilities. I think there are better options out there than on average give better results. Maybe it's just incredible selection bias I'm encountering \shrug.
Honestly I think the fixation on the Epstein comments is unhelpful for understanding what's happened here.

You ever see the science experiment where you supercool a container of distilled water, tap it, and then watch it instantly turn to ice? That's what's happened here. And just as the tap didn't actually freeze the water, neither did the Epstein reporting doom Stallman; rather, it was the long prior history of unfortunate comments about pedophilia and of allegations of harassment.

It was a running joke around MIT that women would place ferns in their office to repel him; his notoriety was enough to create special meaning for ferns. It's surprising he lasted as long as he did, just like it's surprising that you can get a jug of water below freezing without actually freezing it.

Open source contributions for Microsoft are just like charities for big corporations with despicable practices. They can use it to say "hey we are not that bad, after all we support FOSS!"
If your device tells you that you are required to enter your passcode (instead of having biometric authentication available) at a time when you have not just rebooted the device yourself, that would be your clue that something unusual is going on.

At which time you simply need to reboot the device yourself to clear anything made possible by this particular boot ROM bug.
There's a difference between teaching math majors at a top-25 school and teaching "business calculus". In the first case the students and the instructor have congruent purposes, but in the second case you'll find students who are missing the prerequisites and who think that showing up is deserving of a passing grade.
excel can't handle millions of lines. Every job (only 2, but still) I've had, I've had a problem at least once where I'm given millions of lines and needed to parse them for something.

That being said, I used python in those instances, but I'm willing to believe I could've done it faster and more easily with awk.
> If you don't link what he says, you can just ignore him.

If the contributors to the GNU project stop contributing since they do not like what he says, Stallman becomes a liability. Resignation is likely the only viable option.

It is also worth noting that there are reasons to stop contributing to an organizations for reasons other than policing the thoughts and opinions of its leadership. Sometimes people don't want to be associated with those thoughts and opinions, even if they are a strong proponent of the freedom of speech. Other people will want to limit their exposure to thoughts and ideas that they find revolting, which is difficult to do when the leadership sanctions them. While it is possible to argue that ending contributions results in the policing of a threshold for decency regardless of the motivation, the motivations are meaningfully different.

Yes, we should be grateful to Stallman for his contributions to Free Software. We should also be grateful for his resignations. Some of his viewpoints are truly harmful to both individuals and society, while his leadership role lent those ideas more credence than they deserve. If he recognizes the undue influence that leadership roles provide, we should offer him an opportunity to rebuild his reputation. Otherwise, he brought his own downfall.
Traditional chemotherapy is toxic to all cells. Cancer cells grow rapidly (part of what makes them dangerous). So the toxic effect gets the cancer cells first, since cells that are growing take up the most chemotherapy. But other cells grow rapidly too, like hair and intestinal cells, which is why cancer patients lose their hair and have terrible nausea/diarrhea.

All (almost all?) cells take up some chemo. So, you are actually dying, just hopefully more slowly than the cancer. And then we stop the chemo before you all the way die.

This is why the bar for a cancer diagnosis is so high. We need biopsies to try to get as close to 100% accurate diagnosis as possible.
If it's aimed at kids behaving well in order to earn points (strive for a positive) rather than doing it in order to avoid punishment, than it sounds like a good idea to me. Everything I'd seen indicates that positive reinforcement works much better than negative.
A hyphen is kind of like infix-parenthesis / (infix parenthesis) for grouping words together tighter than spaces.
> most parents would talk to their child or impose consequences if they were told that they were misbehaving at school

This means these parent should be educated about the proper way to educate children. They should be taught to choose wisely when to impose consequences and what kind of consequences that should be.
Being alive to criticize the treatment is usually better than the alternative.
Which is clearer: ;) or ;-) ?
It is wrong to invoke suicide simply to make a message board thread more exciting, yes. If you know something specific about Richard Stallman's mental health, then you know who to alert about your concerns. Otherwise, Internet psychiatric diagnosis is a trope, and is forbidden on Hacker News.

In which case they (the rapists) are lying, otherwise they would not be rapists. What about victims of false rape reports though? Do they say that as often?

Are you saying that this is implausible or even unlikely that she presented herself to be willing to Minsky? (note: he did not say that she presented herself willingly, there is an important difference between the two)

Apparently I do not have any empathy for not understanding what the issue with this statement is, thanks. I believe that you have adopted a very neurotypical view of empathy.
