I know, i know, it's awesome. But, unless it's specifically to make a point regarding the absurdity of today's web (such as eg demonstrating CSS Turing completeness), I can't help finding such hacks sad, because it just blends in to demonstrate how far we've striven from what once was a vision for a rational media architecture with a dedicated vector graphic format.

I think it's important to differentiate between "media-driven narrative" and real-world relations, though that line is a bit blurry. It seems the former often creates the latter.

Right now I'm not sure that "Ok Boomer" is anything more than a meme.
I would like to think my response makes relentless fun of your position (and a mockery of your delivery) as well as chide the position of those that will inevitably strawman it.

Neither such positions addresses the real crumbling core which is that the conclusions of the paper do not reasonably follow from the bibliographic methodology, and as such the paper's entire approach is quite illogical from the get-go.

The positions I make fun of accept this insanity.

By accurate I didn’t mean unbiased, the client subnet discussion clearly shows a bias against the feature. I wouldn’t say it was inaccurate—though, the article definitely comes down strongly against it.

I am unaware of the affiliation of the author, so I’m not trying to defend that relationship or the entities mentioned.

Factually, it all seems accurate, though it could very easily be argued that it leaves some things out and leans in a particular direction on all of the issues it does cover.
It was a self-reinforcing snowball effect, because news coverage of BTC was pretty constant for a good while. Feedback loop kinda thing.

I for one am sure people are being paid to hype up or report on BTC so that the people paying for those "news" reports can profit from the increased price.
I think the point is that this phrase doesn’t mark any sort of new sentiment. Millennials and later have been hating on boomers for many years at this point on reddit etc.
I discovered the same thing in college. For me, taking notes became a distraction. It kept me from actively thinking about what I'm listening to.

If I'm trying to understand something presented verbally, I now limit my "notes" to questions I can't ask immediately and quotes I find useful.

If I ever decide that my goal is to chronicle a meeting, I do so with the understanding that I'm not going to be participating much. I also send out an email summary of my notes to everyone in the meeting so people can confirm that I interpreted things correctly. I've discovered that I often misunderstand nuanced arguments when I'm focused on chronicling. Giving people the opportunity to correct my misunderstandings helps counteract that.

Here in Germany there's a popular company called SCHUFA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schufa) which collects (and sells) data about (non)solvent people since almost 100 years.

Thanks to law, one could already ask in the past about one's score. Thanks to GDPR, nowadays, they have to publish a much more detailed report of what they store about one. And it's really scary: It's written that I lost some scoring because I moved from a smaller building to one with more then 8 tenant parties (flats). So literally, I moved from a smaller house to a bigger one and now I am less creditworthy.
What a moronic comment. No ware in my comment have I argued that apple should not change their private APIs. What I'm arguing against is preventing third party developers from accessing them the same way apple does. We all understand that private APIs are subject to change without notice and accept the inherent risks involved.

I suggest working on your comprehension skills.
I've seen similar sentiments about Boomers on the fediverse (Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.) for the past year. Maybe the specific phrase "OK, Boomer," might be recent, but the sentiment has been there for a bit .. and it's always been trolling, like any generational call out is (and has been .. since the 50s .. nothing has changed and you can always sell magazines, papers and books by blaming the youth .. or the elderly .. or however you want to draw a line to make a fake left-right divide).

That doesn't mean it's not a meaningful distinction. There are objective differences in the ways older people and younger people vote and think. You might not like the exact way it's discussed, but there are objective material realities experienced by a person who grew up in the 60s vs a person growing up now, and these things shape their ideology and voting habits.

PostgREST's approach is not like PowerBuilder's.

PowerBuilder didn't encourage you to know your DB ins-and-outs and use all of its features. It was DB agnostic and through its DataWindow you got a RAD way of doing CRUD for a desktop app but you still needed to add application logic in PowerScript.

PostgREST on the other hand pushes you to know PostgreSQL.

A more suitable analogy would be to something like Oracle Apex[1].

Announcing Confident Learning: Finding and Learning with Dataset Label Errors
Show HN: Simplest way of building good habits and leaving bad ones
The US had the single largest increases in crude oil and LNG production in history in previous years. These other smaller producers are a drop in the bucket compared to the massive increases seen in the USA. These two stark facts may help explain why US politicians are reticent to back climate science or carbon taxation...why would they back something to curtail resource extraction that's making a KILLING in their red states? Especially when they get a tidy % of that killing in campaign donations and PAC-support.

If we think of climate denial and obstructionism through this lens, it makes the GOP a lot easier to comprehend.
To keep them engaged you need some applied project work with real (although preferably pre-cleaned) data sets and a real software environment. In my college courses I would lose focus in the lectures when equation after equation was presented and explained, but the homework projects with real data forced me to learn and internalize how to use different statistical tools (although it didn't really teach me how they are implemented).

In my college econometrics courses we used Stata for this, but I'd probably recommend R if you have a choice. The book "R for Data Science"[1] is really good for teaching the basics of data manipulation, graphing, and running regressions. However, it's not a statistics book - you'd need to consider it a "supplement" to teach applied skills. You'd also want to skip the chapters that focus on cleaning data, programming, etc.

Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac, meanwhile is actually based on what used to be MonoDevelop.
To be clear, by lower status (and I said "lower", not "low", very specifically) I was not saying anything negative about those professions or the people who work in them. I was only referring to their status within society at the moment, in that they are not accorded great power or influence, or feted in the same way as e.g. tech entrepreneurs, doctors, or lawyers are. I think that nursing and teaching should be much higher status jobs than they currently are and I think their importance is undervalued, which frequently tends to be the case for professions dominated by women.

You mention college professor as a high status position, which I think supports the point I was making, as whilst the majority of school teachers are women, the majority of professors are men.

As to people gravitating towards careers that interest them, I think that is begging the question a bit, as it avoids considering why people gravitate towards the positions that they do. Are women more likely to go into nursing than into tech because of some intrinsic preference, or because nursing is much more frequently presented as an appropriate career path for them than tech, and they can currently see a lot more women doing that than applying to YC or whatever? I would suspect the latter.
Hi, Hackers. I'm excited to share confident learning for characterizing, finding, and learning with label errors in datasets. To promote and standardize future research in learning with noisy labels and weak supervision, I've also open-sourced the cleanlab Python package: https://pypi.org/project/cleanlab/

Post: https://l7.curtisnorthcutt.com/confident-learning

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.00068

Code: https://github.com/cgnorthcutt/cleanlab/

Abstract: Learning exists in the context of data, yet notions of confidence typically focus on model predictions, not label quality. Confident learning (CL) has emerged as an approach for characterizing, identifying, and learning with noisy labels in datasets, based on the principles of pruning noisy data, counting to estimate noise, and ranking examples to train with confidence. Here, we generalize CL, building on the assumption of a classification noise process, to directly estimate the joint distribution between noisy (given) labels and uncorrupted (unknown) labels. This generalized CL, open-sourced as cleanlab, is provably consistent under reasonable conditions, and experimentally performant on ImageNet and CIFAR, outperforming recent approaches, e.g. MentorNet, by 30% or more, when label noise is non-uniform. cleanlab also quantifies ontological class overlap, and can increase model accuracy (e.g. ResNet) by providing clean data for training.

> The problem is when communication are broken, you don't even know who you are supposed to talk to. In that case, I think it is quite obvious that doing it remotely is harder than if everybody is on the same building.

Again, unsubstantiated. Why is it harder than if everyone is on the same building?

>That's correct, the problem is the same. It has been my experience that as soon as things go south in a company, you have a vast advantage if you and your team work in HQ. It has almost always been my experience that the projects that got the most pull politically (and hence resources) were the one pushed by managers in HQ, or with an existing strong relationship that was created... by being at HQ.

Again this has less to do with remote work and more to do with the fact that remote isn't the status quo.

> You are the first manager I have met who claims this is trivial, remote or not.

It would be trivial. Inherently to remote work would be an online record, whether that's Slack, Discourse or email to record all communication.

You've yet to actually bring up issues inherent with remote work. All of the claims you've brought up thus far wouldn't apply in an organization that's already remote-only. Would there be difficulty to transitioning a non-remote org to be entirely remote? Of course, but this is an issue with making any large sweeping change.

In another comment you make this claim:

> but things like mentoring, quality of code review, etc. are hard to measure if you are not observing them directly.

I would argue that all of this would be much easier to observe in a remote only organization as said communication would need to be made available through some record-keeping.

Where-as in a on-premise organization code review and mentoring can occur behind closed doors and would be very transient. How would you know how well your engineers are mentoring each other?

It already exists in the form of Solar/Wind + batteries + EV.

Also, as price decrease for this combo, tax fossil fuels for all the damages caused to the environment (taxes to be used to help people switch to renewable energy, and for this transition only otherwise they won't support that tax).
Also what doesn't make sense is the world's plutocrats and even the top 1% being irrational enough to let the world economy, modern Western society, that they sit atop of collapse. I mean it could be the case, but what's more likely, and at least worth considering, is that its not. Though questioning authority and what you are taught to think appears difficult for every generation of people.
> there’s not a lot that I can personally do to reduce the price of college

Thinking you need to get a college education is the real big Scam you can thank previous generations for.

It will be fun to watch more and more of them wake up and refuse two other big scams which are marriage and male gender role (women woke to this one decades ago).
Sounds like bitfinex to me.
There is a difference between breaking a public API which is a defect and that’s done unintentionally - that happens with every operating system and framework - and depending on private methods to behave appropriately.

Decades ago, when Apple introduced 68040 Macs, a lot of programs broke because they were writing self modifying code and that didn’t work with the 68040 cache. Whose fault was that Apple’s or the developers?
Non destructive testing exists and is fairly mature for reinforced concrete. It's just more expensive.
But it's not so much about testing, since once a structure is built, you're not going to get the owner to pay for any more testing, until signs of potential failure arise. You need an obvious reason to test in the first place.

Testing also somewhat implies that the design or material is defective; but that's only two paths to failure out of many. More likely, the structure is overloaded, or supplemental supports are removed prematurely, as is what seems to be the case for the recent hard-rock hotel collapse in New Orleans.

This isn't too say that new materials don't have a beneficial use. We would probably need to develop a new and separate sub-discipline, the same way pre-stressed and post-stressed concrete structures are designed, which have since been included into ACI code.

Meant "TTLs" as in the plural of TTL but my phone capitalized the whole block on me.

> You're argument about keep alive makes no sense. You're confusing the nginx documentation. 100 is the number of default connections it will hold open. 60 is the default timeout. Also it's sent as an HTTP response to the client in the headers... Here you need to read up: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#keep...

Are you're right about the 100 being the default active keepalives not the default timeout. According to your own nginx link 75 is the timeout not 60 though: "Default:
keepalive_timeout 75s;"

Either way, 75/60/100/120 are significantly far off from 15 minutes.

> The timeout only matters if you're not making requests.

Or if the server reaches max connections.

> Setting a low keep alive will actually result in more DNS requests...doh

Which is how the discussion on DNS TTLs comes about in the first place. It's trivial to set the DNS TTL astronomically higher than the HTTP keep-alive, in which case the browser & OS won't actually make a lookup request since it's cached.

Would you feel the same way if Uber complied privately and the article read:

"Uber shares real-time rider information with government agency"?

It seems like Uber can't win. If they share information, they're violating the trust and privacy of their riders. If they don't they still don't care about privacy but they're now also flouting regulators.

“eth0_in affects traffic entering the ER on eth0 that gets forwarded to somewhere behind the ER

eth0_out affects traffic leaving the ER on eth0

eth0_local affects traffic that enters the ER on eth0 and is targetted directly at the ER itself (e.g. the webgui)”

In this case you would put the rule on eth0_out, not eth0_local.
Vague generalizations are all the rage nowadays. See "Men are trash".

Yes, that's true. That's why if there is regulation allowing them to be closed units and limiting who can make them, I'm also in favour of that regulation restricting their functionality to only standardised specs (and regulators being able to audit this and impose meaningful penalties for compliance failures).

> here's a pretty significant online mob who really want to split HK off of China

There are significant online mobs dedicated to anything. That's not really a convincing argument. People who are advocating independence don't understand the situation, nor do they even understand what the protestors actually want (it's not independence).

> Why aren't we focused on cleaning our own house first if it's about justice and freedom?

It's almost as if America isn't comprised solely of 1 person! Not to mention, why can't people focus on both? This argument is basically "america has issues, so it can't point fingers". Not only is this an unconvincing argument, it doesn't make sense because what is "america"? Is it me, a singular US citizen? Is it Gitlab, a company headquartered in America with ~50% American employees? Is it just the US govt?

> Why hasn't it happened?
Because people aren't informed and don't vote based on that. That is another complex discussion in and of itself, but most people that I know are against it, so I don't really get what your argument is.
I don’t think the boomer generation “earned” cheaper college. That was given to them either by circumstance or by the previous generations. Similarly, post-war prosperity wasn’t something they had earned or worked for.

The contention is that the world left by boomers has less opportunity than what the one provided to them. It’s not entirely true (if you’re black in America, the civil rights movement sure changes a lot for the better), but that’s the argument.
