Your assumption is wrong (of course), and yes, I don't doubt that it's always possible to make a rewrite in a shitty way, and then convert it back.

For a clearer description of what I mean, see my other comment below where I write two lines of code in both ways.
Solution to what? Crime has been falling for decades, and if law enforcement can't spy on communication quite as easily as it used to, the increase of other surveillance more than makes up for it. They are crying about "going dark", when 50 years ago, there were barely any surveillance cameras.
So I have been trying to find a way towards this but at the cost of running EKS, which seems the next step to having platform independence and moving to vanilla k8s I like, how do I argue/justify the cost and effort for professional workloads involved when Lambda is so cheap for lower tier usage (in our case way less than 1,000,000 invocations for our collection of DevOps tooling, we're not like game shops with a million calls a day) and EKS will be high cost for AWS bills and devops engineers and limited dev patience I already experience where people bitch with far less effortful Serverless framework and Lambda stuff? It is super convenient; I love when people whine about it even though they had limited skills to debug over SSH session anyway but they miss old habits, like what is the deal? Haha. Sorry, I won't dive into that tangent.

Personally, I definitely intend to explore this anyway because I want control and better understanding of how such platforms like Lambda could work under the hood and make my own choices where I obviously can't in Lambdaland. But most project managers and tech leads I know, professionally, never believe they'll leave AWS, to the point people don't know how to mock much beyond S3 and DDB local and hard code that stuff anyway.

The OpenFaaS is the right thing but not the cheap thing. With all good open source wrappers, moreso Redis and stuff but equally applicable for similar reasons but a not open offering taken in house, AWS has successfully banked on the most powerful target demographic: the indifferent! Lol
> This is a weird concern to raise -- the idea that EF's data isn't representative because it's pulled from a sample of citizens extraordinarily interested in English would strongly imply that the true proficiency level in every country is much lower than reported, and to a lesser extent that the gaps between countries are probably wider than reported.

No, if your samples aren't representative then any conclusion you draw can be flawed for thousands of different reasons and in all possible directions. Two examples.

1) Let's say that the top 1% of English speakers of countries A and B took the test. You say "the gaps then would be wider than reported". Wrong, even if in this 1% sample country A scores the highest, it might very well have lower overall proficiency. If proficiency is normally distributed, but has a much greater variance in country A than country B, the maximum of A will be higher than of B, even with a lower average.

2) Now you take the tests at time t and t+1. However, at time t the test was less popular, so only 0.5% of the top speakers took the test, while at t+1 1% of the top speakers took the test. You would conclude that a lower score a time t+1 implies that the skill got worse, while it might have very well improved by a lot.

(In fact, I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I never heard of EF before 2017, so I couldn't have taken the test before then)

> XeTeX and LuaTeX as branch from main software line LaTeX

No, that is mistaken. As the FAQ says, "Development of pdfTeX has mostly stopped" https://texfaq.org/FAQ-enginedev, in favor of LuaTeX (and XeTeX maintanence). But users use what they use and the people who put together the distribution do not normally shut things down, so pdftex remains. (I admit I often use it.)

I'm not much of a biblio person myself but I find that biblatex and biber work for me. I think I remember someone saying that they could use more developers, but in any event I'm sure that someone who volunteered to pitch in would be welcome.

If a person would like to see some more development but does not have the energy or the skills then the best thing to do is to join a Users Group, such as TUG at https://www.tug.org/. Or you could simply make a contribution so that some developer could get funding.
I think Xmonad is the biggest one.

I'm sorry, but this is plain wrong.

gpm [0] supplies a mouse server for the console, and has been around for a very long time (the oldest release I could find was 1995). SSH, nano, vim and more all understand the events driven by it. This should even work under a raw tty, rather than a terminal emulator, in any shell, from ash to zsh.

The terminal absolutely understands the mouse, you just need to enable the bridge that lets it all work.

Yes. It's nice for LXC and Linux VMs and use cases that fit its feature set, but not nearly as versatile and integrated as commercial hypervisors.

Ask HN: Ideas for structuring a SaaS-related joint venture?
Background: I'm a solo designer/developer and have created an early prototype of a B2B SaaS application intended for a niche market. A former colleague at a relatively large company is familiar with my work and prototype and has expressed interest in turning the application into a joint venture between my one-person company and his company.

In the case of a joint venture I could continue leading the design and development of the product, while the partnering company would provide content, marketing, and sales.

I'm debating whether to pursue the joint venture or continue as the sole developer and am trying to think through joint venture options before coming to a final decision.

My questions:

- What are suggested arrangements for such a joint venture?

- What are the possible incentive options (e.g., payment for development, royalty and/or licensing fees, on-going maintenance fees, etc.)

- What pitfalls should I look out for as the "smaller" partner in the joint venture?

- Can you share any suggestions or lessons learned from a similar experience?

Show HN: Botfront: open-source chatbot platform to craft complex conversations
It's a good tenant of personal responsibility to say that one's owns actions are the result of one's own choices.

So by that logic, I suppose they wanted to be? :-)
I thought any of these experiments are carried out on two sets of cells. One normal and the other cancerous. Both exposed to the same test environment and treatment -- shear in this case. And when they claim "70% of cancerous cells died" they mean 70% more of the cancerous cells died than that of the normal cells, where "more" is defined in some acceptable standard.
We have been working on our open source chatbot platform Botfront for about 2 years now, and here is why:

We see many bot projects stuck at the proof of concept level. A recurring problem is writing good specs for conversations is harder than it looks. The back and forth between designers, copywriters, and developers is overwhelming, and projects get postponed or canceled.

We believe we can fix that by letting designers and copywriters design and implement conversation flows, and developers write code that enriches the conversation context (instead of just coding the flow). And we wanted to make it work with Rasa, our favorite open source conversational AI library.

We save an incredible amount of time with Botfront on every project, and we hope that it will help other teams to iterate faster and flood the world with useful bots capable of meaningful conversations.

Let us know what you think!

We are also featured on Product Hunt today!

A sheriff/judge/prosecutor who has to enough of what the local populace wants to see to get reelected may very well serve the interest of justice better than a sheriff/judge/prosecutor who is beholden to organizational politics and political politics of the bureaucracy above them. This is very important in rural counties in states that are controlled by a couple urban areas and urban counties in states where more rural politics dominate state government because it allows them to have outcomes that are more just as the inhabitants of the county see it, even if they may seem less just from the perspective of the hypothetical average person in the state. Direct election of these officials basically provides a minority protection for counties that are in the minority in their state. Make no mistake, both local voters and state bureaucracy are more than capable of incentivizing non-just outcomes but putting that power with the local voters is more consistent with American values which generally prefer to have the most local level of government that can do something be the level of government that does the thing.

TL;DR if you take the view that justice is relative to the wishes of the local community then having these officials elected by the local community makes perfect sense.
PPC Jobs
Hi everyone,

I’m very excited to share PPC Jobs with the HN community!

https://www.ppc-jobs.com/

PPC Jobs is a job board for biddable media roles including paid search, paid social, display, programmatic and more. As far as I am aware there are no job boards specific to this industry so I decided to build one.

The website is built without any code. I only used Webflow, Google Sheets, Zapier, Stripe and Cognito Forms. Shoutout to Ben from MarkerPad for the inspiration.

This is just a super early version of the website, so feedback and suggestions are more than welcome!

Many thanks,

Proxmox is awesome. :)

Back several years ago I worked on a project to build a system for making demos of network solutions. We ran Proxmox inside of an ESX virtual machine and then used it to virtualise various pieces of the demo architecture. The ESX image could simply be coped to an external drive for the consultant to use.

Ultimately the company went for a central-lab demo environment instead but it was pretty cool anyway.

The demo itself was stored as a bunch of Ansible playbooks and assorted scrips so it was Git-friendly, to be applied to a generic ESX template.

We built cool things like a canvas-based Visio-like UI that could be used to define VMs / containers / networks and provision at the touch of a button.

Similarly the solution itself would be visualised using a diagram that supported dynamic components like links showing traffic, counters, graphs etc that would show traffic running between the VMs inside the demo.

We also had a central server that would store pre-created demo templates using Ceph that could checked-out for use via a web UI.

Fun times :)

The choices here are to spend $100bn adding a lane to I-5 or a $50bn high speed rail between the cities. Adding a lane doesn’t reduce traffic in the long term, and doesn’t reduce drive time even in the best of traffic conditions. (You still can’t go as fast as the bullet train). I think even at double the price it would still be the superior choice. But how will the highway construction companies lobby to get the work for the extra lane?

Car-centric lifestyle has to go. It is maddeningly stupid and wasteful.
ChangXin Emerging as China’s First and Only DRAM Maker
When "Sea Plane" seems like a good alternative to commuting between two metros you have to chuckle.

High speed passenger rail has so many benefits past commute time alone. It's fast and easy to get tickets, board and depart. It's consistent, predictable and you can reliably plan around travel times. Done well, you can be at the platform 5 minutes before you depart and be moving 5 minutes later. You can bring luggage with no fuss, just pop it in the overhead. They are generally well equipped, with full bathrooms.

It's nearly the speed of air travel, with none of the major downsides of air travel. I would happily take rail over planes and spend an extra hour underway than spend that extra hour dealing with airports either side of the flight.
