This sounds great in theory, but I tried this for a while and got really frustrated at just how often I had to enable JS for a specific site/page because it was broken, sometimes in non-obvious ways (e.g. some interactions work but others rely on JS). For me at least, it wasn't worth it, but YMMV depending on how you use the web and your tolerance for this kind of thing.

Normally you ask them for the object files, but those specific guys are middleware developers so they provide QtCreator configured to build with their library (to get a different Qt version, select a different Qt Kit in QtCreator settings).

Additionally, the nature of the library is that it's probably a plugin that's loaded by a regular Qt application, as a result you've got their classes available in the QML scripts. It isn't very intrusive on the practical level.

They don't say what license they use though.

Private health-care works wonderfully in South Africa. They're actually a very good example of a good in-between between government intervention and free-market. The government mandates all private providers have to offer free medicine for a wide array of "common" chronic conditions and emergencies. E.g. Diabetes, HIV, Hypertension.

They also quantify the degree to which private providers can "recover" costs for pre-existing conditions. E.g. mandatory wait-out periods and relatively minor penalties, and then they have to provide full cover.

But beyond some of those items, they pretty much let the private providers run it as a business. You can decent cover for as low as $60, but if you want additional benefits and ad-hoc medical spending-money, you pay more obviously. Some of them even have packages that are reduced based on they person's salary to make it more affordable for low-income families.

It's like a runner that runs laps, if they can keep going they will. Sometimes they need support but then they only do a pit stop. Getting information or acquire a skill with that state of mind makes you only learn what seems essential to you.

Being acceptant of that has the upside that you don't need to know the background of a given individual (some people have a rough life, others just don't think they will get it e.g. think they are not smart enough, others are just working 400% and have kids), to accept the fact that they will just use tech and maybe don't care about the inner workings. But is that really a bad thing? Because that's exactly how they are built know adays, ease of use.

I have people around me that I want to explain basic things in life to, but.. even if they actually listen their previous argument float to the surface the next day. People need to change themselves.

In the other end of the park there's a big playground. That's where I sit and design the biggest sand castle I've ever built. I don't care that much about running around, I switch playground when I have too.

Each mindset have their pros and cons. I solve stuff that takes a bit of effort. My SO keeps our life/house running.

So respect and acceptance about others choices is a great way to let go of anger that nobody is interested in the things you are interested in. Finding someone with the same mindset in real life is rare, even on HN. How cool is that?

You need to set a memory target for your OSDs, or they will gobble up as much as possible for their cache. In Rook you do that by specifying the resource limits on your CephCluster[0].

Sadly, Rook enforces some pretty high minimum values (2GiB per OSD, 1 GiB per mon), which is fine for production but can make homelab experimentation annoying.

I really like the idea of NixOS and Guix and tried NixOS for half a year on my laptop. Then I changed back to ordinary package based distributions. (Arch, Debian and Gentoo)

The issue with NixOS for me was probably quality control. When I did an update and instead of fetching the files from the binary cache it starts to build stuff on its own, I could be reasonably sure that some build error happens. Coupled with sparse documentation, I was very often at a loss at how to fix it and just had to remove the package for a while and try again a couple of days later.

Another point is NixOSes path mangling... Do we really need that? Can we not try to use namespaces and OverlayFS etc. to let each process assume it has a normal FHS file-hierachy while in real its 'root' is cobbled together from multiple package installation directories? Instead of patching the paths of every package, letting the kernel do the path calculations seems to be less intrusive.

I'd guess it lets us map information processes to physical processes. Information processes follow a graph which follow a power law. Physical processes of course follow GP.

Depending on how complete the map is it may let you know us come up with 'physical' laws of information. I am rooting for something which I call Boltzmann convergence.
That is because you are not using the platform but watching the news. Guess what is going to be on the news ? Only the outcry. Twitter has matured in last few years and is a fantastic platform if you know whom to follow. People crying about Twitter are not there to connect or learn from others, they are just there to cry and harass others.

Money? State legislatures have limited budgets and are not well rewarded for funding the DMV.

Private retail locations (there are some in the US too -- in California, at least, you can go to the AAA if you pay their membership fee) can charge the right amount needed to pay a sufficient number of skilled employees, or they go under. The government-run DMVs have to scrape by with whatever the state affords them.
so, is there any platform, that's both free, easy to use for non-techies and is just that, a platform, not a publisher? I'm fine with a company removing stuff when the law absolutely requires them to, but not in any other case.

Resource are allocated via the kernel - it won't hand out overlapping address ranges.
It sounds like the validation set was seriously overfit.

If you run 10'000 experiments over thousands of indicators, you're bound to find some that idiosyncratically perform well on the validation set but underperform out-of-sample.

You also can't conclude that "there was no subtle underlying pattern" just because you couldn't find one...

It’s most likely he doesn’t know. Order that test would be very strange for a PCP. Typically you’re only getting typed and screened if you’re about to surgery/birth/donate. This is so they can act quick to transfuse you if needed or know who to give your donated blood to. You need to ask your doctor to order this test for you and tell them your ok paying for it because it won’t get approved without reason. From a PCP perspective, he’s monitoring your cholesterol, blood counts, etc. knowing your blood type has no medical significance to him.
Why would that only interfere with the network driver, rather than tending to crash random userland or crash the kernel?
AMP's not that bad for, like, a local restaurant website or random news article or whatever. Fast and mobile friendly, when it might normally not be. Bit annoying if you want to copy the link, but whatever. Fine.

I assume you're referring to the OCI image format (not the runtime spec). This is because the OCI image format doesn't quite meet what they want for LXD -- in particular the whole layering design that OCI uses (which was inherited from Docker) is simply wrong for them. In fact there is a strong argument that the layering design doesn't even match what OCI really wants (it effectively embeds an optimisation for "docker build" into the storage format).

I am actually working on improving the current state of OCI images[1] by using a snapshot-based tree structure -- which will also solve many problems we have in OCI that are independent from LXD. But it is possible that the LXD folks would be more interested if the OCI format more closely matched what they need.

Though it should be noted that LXC has had an OCI template for several years now[2] (and it actually uses a tool I wrote -- umoci -- to extract the OCI image).

Totally agree.

Funnily enough I think the ML hobbyist problem is most pervasive in the "predict the stock market" domain. There was a post on HN a few days ago [1] that was overfitting the validation set and hand-waving away fees and spreads. The author concluded that "there was no subtle underlying pattern" because they failed to find one.

I think the reason is that GitHub lowers the barrier of entry to distribution of OSS.

This makes more people distribute OSS, and most devs do probably not care as much about OSS licensing as RMS would like and therefore do "mistakes".

RMS has a high horse stance, I think that easier access to OSS is better even though it might come with some side effects.
Those who claim that their product is the greatest thing since sliced bread (which ironically itself wasn't the "greatest thing since sliced bread" at first) sometimes might be delusional or even just lying.

> Again, offsetting the effects of failed developments and theft is what capitalists do with profit

Wait, what? I'm asking, how would you subsidize failed developments if you consider 100% of profitable development as wage.

If you consider net income as wage, should the net loss be paid by the workers?

> in construction, a major risk falls on the safety of the workers

Which is also payed by the employer in the form of insurance. And the investment risks also totally lie on the employer here, workers just get wages. If the construction is failed/not being profitable, workers get wages and insurance, employer and investors are paying bills and credits.

> what the market rewards in wages on average to two groups of people with different skill sets means the abstraction and calculation is already quantitatively done

But again, market rewards have nothing to do with created values, but rather the utility of labor. If your labor could be substituted with the machinery for the smaller price. It's based solely on marginal utility of labor.

No calculations based on value creation is done whatsoever, the wage is a result of a bargaining process.

> measuring skilled versus unskilled labour may not be possible quantitatively

> it is just as impossible as quantitatively determining "utility"

But you don't need to, that's why labor theory of value is dead and Marginalism has conquered the world. You don't need to quantify utility to evaluate wages, just let people bargain based on their subjective notion of utility, ability to find substitutions etc. Marginalism is suitable for modeling and planning here, all you need is gather statistical data other how the preferences and desires for the good change with the appearance of substitutes or changes in quantity.

You can't, however, evaluate wages based on labor theory of value, you can't measure the value one has added to the value of raw materials, if it's even the case.

You can't even solve a simple problem of two worker's shares of surplus value with the labor theory, it's totally useless for anything but being a justification for exploitation theory.

There are neither empirical nor deductive evidence that the value of commodity is proportional to the wages. Even if you exclude luxury goods (which is already a clear intellectual dishonesty, because the notion of luxury is vague, and differences between luxury and basic are impossible to be quantified of defined), you would still have a huge difference in prices of buckwheat and wheat, or water simply in different contexts (even if no labor is applied to extract it, as in the case of oasis, oasis water in the middle of desert would be evaluated more than the water being extracted from a deep shaft in a less severe conditions).

Value is inherently subjective, it stems in scarcity, utility, ease of finding a substitute etc. Even labor is such a good, evaluated subjectively.

Back when the web was young (before 1998 or so), webpages were generally static HTML files that you dumped in a directory and the webserver served up verbatim.

You should probably be feeling a bit older (and perhaps forgetful :).

PHP was around in the mid 90s, as were FastCGI, NSAPI and Javascript, Java's initial public target was web pages. Things like what eventually became AOLServer are also of that '95-ish vintage. CGI lived a long happy life in shared hosting, small project and development environments but in commercial use, it didn't last very long - it was just too slow.

The only caution I took away from that post is that it's very easy to make mistakes applying ML to financial markets if you don't know what you're doing.

There looks like a lot of overfitting the validation set going on in that post.

It's also a mistake to conclude that "there was no subtle underlying pattern" just because the author couldn't find one.

Throwing XGBoost at a bunch of technical indicators isn't gonna cut it but I have had some solid real-world success (as have several people I know) applying ensembles of deep learning models (with regime switching based on model residuals) to profit from "subtle underlying patterns".
