Sorry to hear about your bad experiences.

I think I've experienced some of the same frustrations at times, and I think most of the bugs/problems are well known to the development team and are being actively worked on. It's a very open process. I know there's been a lot of improvement in the year that I've been working on it. The release train moves along slowly at times, especially as we are actively working on improving our testing processes.
That last bit made sense to me. I still think it's expensive and the banks have too much power. But you make a good point
> whitelist the few that are actually real

I'm speculating that the balance is in the reverse favor. Last night I was looking at some file on GitHub which was redirecting to what looked like an S3 bucket subdomain named with a pattern like "github-production-f7e281a2", which I simply presumed to be cache-busting via subdomain instead of appending the hash to the filename. If my assumptions were correct, every time GitHub deploys a new build, you would have to whitelist that subdomain.
The paper does open with that, so at least the authors acknowledge that right up front:

"Recent studies show ridesharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, reduce intoxicated driving.However, ridesharing may also have negative health effects by increasing alcohol consumption."

>A motorbike will generally [...] brake faster than a car in a straight line (mostly because it's light)

That's generally not true. At best you'd roughly match an average car when balancing your weight perfectly; but typically you can only expect worse results when comparing the two.
I didn't say they weren't using reason and peddling conspiracy theories.

I said that without someone explaining to me some good reason, it looked like those things. Which, you have to admit, are far and away the most common reasons people give for how they act these days. Oh sure, they insist they know The Truth, but it is often based on this or that fallacious reasoning or evidence.
The bowline has other advantages. It's also much faster to tie than a figure-8 follow-through, for example. I imagine it takes less rope, too.

We use the bowline (without backup) in industry. I've never heard of anyone having an issue with it. Any equipment is dangerous if you set it up halfway, walk away, and forget to finish. That's why you never do anything halfway. That failure mode is not specific to knots, or any particular knot.

I just found out that managed money accounts aren't just for people with more than one million dollars anymore, and moving my money this year will likely make me thousands of dollars over the next 30.
Your issue with the esset I think is a little pedantic as it's really just a typography issue.

However the point about knowing noun articles is extremely important, and the more you stick with it from the beginning the easier it is when you are learning the different cases later on.
Locking files in SVN so other people can't edit them until you've unlocked it again.

I've never seen it used, and the only references I can think of was where it was just annoying, if not a risk (someone locking a file then leaving over the weekend or the company entirely).
With something like YouTube of course the "content" is often ads too, deterring people could kill that part of the ad ecosystem.

> This is such a victimhood mentality and a ridiculous statement.

Do you think you'd say this to the poster's face in an in-person conversation? I find it's too easy to communicate in this way on the Internet, but it appears hurtful and over-the-top. Nasty comments can affect peoples' lives and we rarely see the fallout of how we hurt others in this way. Let's all tread more carefully and be a little nicer to each other.
Same. By hovering, my wrists are never at a bad angle. In fact, looking at my hands right now, I can see them naturally sitting at roughly the same angles as those fancy ergonomic keyboards, despite the keyboard being a cheap flat one.
40% keyboards are cool. I was initially skeptical when I moved to a 40% keyboard from a full sized split keyboard. After couple of months, I observed no drop in productivity or had strains.
Should we not be studying the trade-offs?
There are a lot of blogs out there about people retiring early and living off residuals. When I looked closely the people involved were not like “normal” people. One couple were high paid lawyers and the wife could basically freelance a few times a year and make a killing. Another couple moved to Portugal and somehow kept $100k++ remote jobs from companies in NYC. Another was a very high paid Microsoft manager in Seattle.

My father in law is out of touch as well. He talks about maxing out your 401k. He pays he son $15 an hour on 1099 and talks about how he should be saving, impossible. When my wife was making $40k right out of college he preached it as well. If you’re making $40k you can’t put $18.5k into the bank.

Maybe the basics of "How to Win Friends and Influence People." https://fs.blog/2012/07/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-peo...

Then applying it will take longer though.
Agreed. Which brings me to something I learned in an hour (from Ricky Yean's insightful piece on "mindset inequality" [1]) and which I'm still learning recognize in myself -- i.e. the disadvantaging qualities of a poverty mindset.

Quote from article:
"Being poor makes you suck at using money as a resource. My time was always cheaper growing up, so I got used to opting to spend time rather than money. I had to fix this way of thinking when we raised our first seed round, but it took quite some time. A simple decision to hire a new employee, for example, took a very long time–to the point that it cost us growth."

When you're raised in poverty or a poor student (like I was), resources are expensive but time is cheap, so the tendency is/was to use my own time to save a couple of bucks here and there.

When you're no longer a poor student, this poverty mindset can actually work against you if you apply it to everything. It can be growth limiting step. When you have money, time is much more precious and and the time/money trade-off looks very different. In many situations, money is "cheaper" than time. One therefore needs to learn how to redeploy that money to access cheaper less expensive resources than time. But if you have a poverty-mindset, you never learn how to do this and hence are at a disadvantage in life, even as you become middle-class or better.

Take oil changes for instance. 5W20 non-synthetic oil costs about $10. An oil change costs about $25 here in Chicago, and can be done in 15 minutes -- and done impeccably. The difference is $15. If I were to do it myself -- without the right tools, plus I don't have a garage and it's really cold outside -- it would take an hour and it would be a sloppy job. $15 is a fraction of what I make per hour, and I figure if I pay someone to do it, I can redeploy that time (plus any number of 1 hour chunks spent on things where I have no competitive advantage) to thinking and cultivating myself or even just relaxing (idleness is crucial to creative thinking), the culmination of which is top-line growth, and I figure I'd make back that $15 (3 times a year = $45/yr) many times over.

It's ok to DIY for fun and for self-enrichment (I admire handy people), but as a universal prescription, it can potentially be a rate limiting step for many people.

Side note: if you're landlord/homeowner however, DIY is very high leverage (vs. paying tradespeople) and one's payback can be huge. One has to make that calculation for oneself.

I don't think metals technology was significantly more advanced than textiles technology. Turning plants into good quality fabrics is a complicated process with non-obvious steps. E.g. retting (controlled partial rotting of plants to aid removal of the bast fibers) is IMO something non-intuitive, just like smelting of metals.

But textiles technology gave only small incremental improvements with each step. Plant-based fabrics were more convenient than animal skins, but they weren't something fundamentally new. Metals however could be used to make things completely impossible with older technologies, so they're a better candidate for naming time periods.
I cringe at the thought of what Google is using that face recognition for.
The book “Lingua Latina per se illustrata” is well-reviewed. It’s a reader that starts with simple stories and gradually increases in difficulty.

You can use it regardless of your native language, as it’s written entirely in Latin, with no English at all (even the copyright page is in Latin). But it doesn’t presuppose any knowledge.

> I'm guessing the Prolog compiler is super complex compared to, say, a C compiler to be able to give developers that much power.

They're not that complex. I'm writing one from scratch right now:

http://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog

Speaking of constraint solvers, the author of Power of Prolog, Markus Triska, is now in the process of porting his clp(ℤ) constraint solver over to my system, having already ported his boolean constraint solver, clp(B). They are quite complex, but it helps that they're written entirely in Prolog.

Well, the problem is that master is a bottleneck. Trying to build CI on every branch before merging to master just won't work with the scale they are dealing with. At 1000 developers, the rate of PRs coming in makes it impossible to determine what current master will be when the PR is ready to merge (i.e. when the branch has a green build). It's also wasteful to build each branch against current master because what is "current" will not be when the branch is ready to merge.

Perhaps this problem is what microservices are meant to solve. When you can't coherently integrate code fast enough, attack the bottleneck (master) by splitting it (multiple services).

Telegram bot writing is silly easy. If you use the python module you can basically just write the whole thing as a set of functions in a file (with decorators that watch telegram for triggers) and one function that automatically polls and does all the responding at the end.

I managed to bang out a few when I had a day off a few months back. Very satisfying.
Shopify always runs CI on branches before merging to master. Everything this article describes is in addition to that, in order to deal with the problems the article talks about at "merge to master" time, like 2 merged PRs failing or a stale PR that passed on branch but fails on master due changes.

At this scale you need to be deploying constantly, otherwise deploys are hundreds of commits large and its impossible to triage - what PR in the deploy broke something, is it even safe to rollback, etc. That is the primary reason to automate deploys and manage the deploy queue.

WASM doesn't need DOM access. You can just implement a browser in WASM and target canvas. I'm really surprised somebody hasn't done this already and marketed it as an unblockable ad delivery platform.

I will note one cheerful conclusion: so many people care so much about not drinking and driving.
(Consider that 30% of the people don't drink, and another 30% drink rarely, these statistics are a credit to the species.)

I'm really put off by the movement towards decentralization for the sake of decentralization. Over the past couple of years the term has been thrown around as if decentralization is good by default regardless of the actual application and use case and I'm just not sold on the benefits. Of course, some of this might just be my personal bias

I mean sure, just copying Ansible to the target machine and running it locally 'fixes' things, but at what point should it still be considered Ansible? You lose so much with -local, at least:

- centralized vault, target nodes need access to secrets

- "serial:" no longer available, you can't do rolling upgrades any more

- "hostvars" no longer available, you can't query facts from other machines

- no centralized trigger mechanism, status or failure reporting

etc.

Put another way, you could claim ansible-local fixes things for the same reason you could claim bash is network-aware agentless automation because you can copy shell scripts between machines
While textiles are a twice neglected area due to decay and some cultural biases the flax age wouldn't be remotely the right naming convention. The invention age naming convention would imply when they /first used it widespread/. So a few meteoric iron artifacts in the Bronze Age wouldn't make it Iron Age but iron becoming commonplace in tools and weapons would. Similarly if we kept up metalic conventions medieval aluminium wouldn't count but 19th century when they started enmasse refining could be an "Aluminium Age" if not for the fact we know enough from records that it would be redundant.

Calling it the Flax Age would be like calling Prebellum Southern US "the cotton age" - it was used already for thousand of years in several prior ages!

We probably can't trace it that precisely from lack of evidence but a Flax Age would probably be among the Neolithic ages and certainly not the Iron Age.

What's with this weird trend on HN lately of taking some random anecdote of an experience in a non-US country, then using that as well as a bunch of assumptions to extrapolate how you think the US did things? Stores in the USA sold unlockable DVD players as well. Hell, we even had Divx DVD players that would play pirated movies off of CDs (which is why you often see old scene releases limited to 700mb).

No. LUKS or dm-crypt are independent of hardware encryption. LVM is just volume management and is orthogonal to encryption.

I always wonder what they will do if there is a big war (maybe one that affects the homeland which is something the US is not used to) and the contractors decide fighting in this war is not good for business or they just want more money? Are they going to suspend IP laws and other contracts? It seems really weird that to have a military that’s dependent on other parties they can’t control.

This structure works ok if you have wars in other countries with weak enemies and you are just wasting money. But what about a big war where the nation has to put all resources into the war effort?
> Perhaps this problem is what microservices are meant to solve.

Kinda. Microservices have always been an organizational solution; they're a way to shard your company's work output. Usually that's API contracts, but whatever mechanisms are bottlenecked on the work output is affected, including how many concurrent builds are running due to how many people are touching the code at the same time.

For what it's worth, I hardly see ads anymore because I use a browser extension that disables javascript on a site by site basis. You can have javascript be opt-in or opt-out. With opt-in, you get such a better web browsing experience on 95% of sites, and for the others, you just click a little button next to the address bar to make it work.

No pop ups, fewer paywalls, less tracking, no videos (except the video site I whitelisted, like youtube). What should be static content actually stays static content. The web is a much better place when you disable javascript where there doesn't need to be javascript.

Combine it with cookie auto-delete and whitelisting, and disabled third party everything, and the web is mostly nice again.
and it has been for decades. I was a shift manager at a burger king in the early 90s - nearly 30 years ago. Some of those same issues faced some of the people I worked with. Can't earn "too much" because their assistance would be cut off by a larger percentage than the increase in $ they might earn. This was in the days of sub $4/hr wages for most of the folks there.

Can't schedule Tara for an extra 5 hours because that will be an extra $20, which will put her over $100/week, and her assistance will be cut by $50/week because she earned that extra $20. (paraphrasing the numbers here). It was also costing some of these people $x/day to take a bus to and from work, but that wasn't calculated in their earnings/cutoff calculations.

Truly messed up 30 years ago, messed up today.
Generally issues where package management just fails. Also it's just overall not ergonomic.

How secure is that, really? I can easily imagine that it is very easy to sniff e.g. passwords from the Bluetooth connexion. But maybe they actually put in the hard work of getting encryption right.

"When we focus on areas with relatively weaker public transit options, we estimate UberX is associated with a 17.5% to 21.8% increase in instances of binge drinking"

Considering that public transport in the US is generally weak, the underlying driving force seems to not be Uber itself but alternative means of transport for everybody.
