I had to look up the exact line. I just remembered it sounded great.
An additional case of unfair competition was at PromCon 2019. There was a talk named `Remote storage wars` from Adidas at the conference [1]. Various remote storage solutions for Prometheus were compared in the talk for use cases specific to Adidas - Cortex, M3DB, VictoriaMetrics and Thanos receiver. VictoriaMetrics showed the best performance, the lowest RAM usage and the lowest disk space usage.

The was a video recording, but unfortunately slides were broken during the talk [2]. I was hoping that slides will be published in the next months after the conference. Unfortunately slides for this talk weren't published yet, while slides from other talks are already published - see `slides` link at the bottom of every talk page from [3].

This doesn't look very fair :)

Seems you failed to realise that 'noise-cancelling' headphones is good for noise cancelling, not just listening to music.

My Bose QC35 set is ~4 years old, on their second set of muffs and only play sound when I fly, once or twice a year.
Something I’ve used to break the silence: police and fire scanner traffic. It’s just enough to cut the silence and not as distracting as the radio.
Most people are social, even if they express it in different ways.

Virtual events are fine, as are watching videos. (In fact, for bigger events, I'll often watch the keynotes from my hotel room rather than packing myself into a room with 10,000 of my closest friends so I can watch the distant speaker projected on the screen.)

But it's a small subset of the experience of attending live.
What I'd really like to see is a full stack clojurescript framework like next.js or meteor. I think fulcro comes close but it uses JVM clojure on the server side, so it's not entirely possible to re-use code on either end.
Both cars from 2002 tells me the onwers are probably friends, members of the same club, car modders, etc. A remote start on a 2002 is almost certainly an aftermarket add-on. And to move while/after starting, it was almost certainly a manual transmission. And incorrectly installed. Auto-start on manual trans cars require the vehicle be in neutral with the parking brake on.
I’m curious why? It seems to fill exactly the performance gap between the iMac and the Mac Pro.
You need to present yourself as whatever image the employer/recruiter has in her/his head. For example my old employer thought that people who had their heir in a certain way was more structured and would be a better manager. Or the company might want do diversify, so they look for someone that is different. So in the end I think it's mostly about luck unless you are very good at figuring these things out.
That has NOT been my experience, but mileage varies.

I've worked for a virtual company -- no offices anywhere, everyone works at home -- for 12 years. The developers almost NEVER travel.

The owner and I used to be on the road quite a bit (just like most software firms) -- say, through 2010 -- but then it seemed like all our clients and prospects kinda had the penny drop: they didn't NEED US on site to do implementations. GoToMeeting or Skype or WebEx or whatever was entirely sufficient, and saved a shitton of money too.

I haven't visited a client site in over 3 years. I see my boss at 2 conferences a year. HE makes a few more trips -- partner conferences, a few sales trips -- but nothing like what it was in 07-10.
> the amount of processing to import their world map data file in Postgres would require several months

I'd be surprised if this were indeed the case, even on spinning disks. Did you use the pbf export? I can load it in two or three days using osm2pgsql on my home desktop (albeit with SSDs). On the £10k+ work server it loads in about 24 hours.

The issue with providing a Postgres dump is that people often want different things from the output data, and the choices made during the import might rule out certain uses.

Best resource I have run in to about this is this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4

It quickly introduces the various hacks we do in order to get ~30nm features on silicon. But the talk is quite dated (early 2010's), but never ceases to amaze me. Semiconductors are indistinguishable from magic indeed.
> A Postgres dump would be massive.

Indeed - it inflates to hundreds of GB during my import process.
Nice. As a hint, you can unify free variables, i.e., variables not bound to anything. Future bindings of those variables will respect the equality.

This means that you could write your password/1 predicate as something more like:

password(X) :-
length(X, 6),
has_2_equal_consecutive_digits(X),
has_6_digits(X),
is_value_in_range(X),
digits_are_increasing(X).

That is, even before filling the list with digits, you would already have captured the constraint that two digits will have to be consecutive. Then, while instantiating the list inside has_6_digits/1, something like 134567 would never even be generated, and you wouldn't need to test it for being in range and having increasing digits.

I mean sure, that is why Computer Vision research at Facebook doesn’t have multiple papers on scene segmentation and understanding, where they take kitchen scenes for illustration. Your all in one home appliance spying device surely wouldn’t be used in such a way. Of course. Not to mention that in all likelyhood both the microphone and camera are hot while using WhatsApp or Facebook.
This, as well as related projects like n8n & node-red, is a very cool project. I always wonder what people use it for in real life though. It seems a lot of trouble (setting up, learning curve, maintaining) for an action that usually takes a couple of seconds, like checking the weather or opening twitter.

Does anybody have useful workflows going on?
Modern military ICBMs are solid fueled and thus can't really be used for human launches. They cause too much oscillation and vibration, and would effectively shake the crew to death. Some human rated spacecraft use solid fuel rockets as boosters only; the majority of thrust is delivered by liquid fuel engineers. So just having ICBMs doesn't really get you anywhere for delivering people.

> not because weapons with completely new qualities have been invented.

Chemical weapons, aircraft, tanks, machine guns, large forgings and metal work made the gigantic guns of WW1 possible. WW1 was a step transition from previous wars. Not only was the entire economic output of a country put into the war, mass production had just come online.

We go into the same style of total war now and it will make WW1 look like recess.

> So we'd go out in the morning and my grandfather would call out "Jack" and the Dog would come running down the yard, and then next thing you'd see the crow hopping down the yard after the dog.

Tangent: this is a handy effect, if you could get it to work, but it’s a bit surprising if it did work: animals have different audible frequency ranges, and, obviously, they’ll only respond to a name they can hear. Dogs and crows might have similar audible ranges (this is suggestive anecdata to that effect!), but I know that the range for cats is slightly higher, such that a name like “jack” wouldn’t even register to them. (You need a name with a close/front vowel sound in it, since humans produce those with a high pitch. Thus why the word “kitty” is thought to exist—it evolved as an optimal call-name! Or you can just “pspsps”, since that also comes out high-enough that cats hear it quite clearly.)

From what you said, there was also a cat named “jack”—did it come when called? If so, did calling it require a second, higher-keyed calling of the name?
Yeah, though cows are probably not completely dumb, either (maybe less intelligent than crows, but who am I to judge?). This one enjoys playing with a huge ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx-CxuAeVPo

Maybe they just seem dumb because they're usually bored to death standing on the grass with nothing to do but eat?
+1 for Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records. Jan Jelinek's work as Farben is also really great for programming, very organic yet subtle techno.

They are choosing a 5 star hotel. The mattress is probably only a couple times before they sell it to a 4 star hotel that uses it for a month before it is resold to a 3 star hotel... Eventually it ends up in a 0 star hotel for a couple years (which is why all the beds are lumpy in 0 star hotels - they are well used before they end up there)

I know the above happens with sheets. It isn't a stretch to believe it happens with other things as well.
Not the OP, but I think you might be onto something.

I'm not a huge music-theory guy or anything, but it's virtually impossible for me to "tune out" music; I think I subconsciously like to dissect it a bit.

However, if someone were to put on virtually any sporting event on the TV (without announcers and assuming you didn't have a bunch of people cheering or anything like that), it would have almost no affect on me, since I don't really care at all about sports.
Yeah that's way more readable and intuitive than anything that came before (that I'm aware of)!
>When I started programming, I heard a lot about how programmers are down to earth, not like those elitist folks who have uniforms involving suits and ties. You can even wear t-shirts to work! But if you think programmers aren't elitist, try wearing a suit and tie to an interview sometime.

If you play live music as a hobby, you're not exactly getting that. I've made bad decisions in the past; namely playing in an orchestra next to the drums without hearing protection. I can't undo that, and while it wasn't the cause of my tinnitus, it certainly didn't help.

Nowadays I wear in-ear monitoring on stage which helps quite a lot, protection-wise. I've recently read about a study (dunno if it was on hn) where they discovered that vibrations behind the ear lessend the volume of the tinnitus. I am so going to try that if I ever get my hands on such a device.

I still have a very good hearing overall (especially in the base region), so I should not complain.
Items, like matresses, are usually stolen in hotels with direct access from the room to the parking garage.
Personally, I like to listen to electronic DJ mixes because a) the music flows together nicely (by design) and b) repetition paces me and gives something for my ADD brain to latch on to (like rapidly bouncing your leg) and c) I don’t get preoccupied trying to DJ for myself.

+1. Jenkins even has an authenticated mode, but their code quality is so inconsistent that even that's not enough.

When we investigated in 2015, we found an average of 3 remote code execution / escalation of privilege CVEs per year in the previous 4 years. Looking at [1], I see the trend is still not great - 30 CVEs in 2018.

Fundamentally, it seems to me that Jenkins does not have the mindset to do security well. This isn't surprising given its plugin architecture permits random code to run. Isolate it behind a proxy server like https://github.com/pusher/oauth2_proxy and sleep better at night.

I've worked at home since October of 2001, with a brief 6-month interlude in 2004 when I joined a startup that had space in a high-tech incubator near my house. We quickly realized the office served no purpose, so we went virtual.

For the last 12 years, I've worked for another 100% virtual company. I have 3 co-workers I've never even SEEN in person. I see my boss -- the company owner and the person i work most with -- in person only about 2 times a year, at the two big industry conferences we do.

My wife works for a conventional company in downtown Houston. We live close to downtown, so it makes the most sense for her to take the bus. It's just as fast, and much lower hassle, than driving. Her employer pays for her pass.

As a consequence, we have only one car. This is nearly unheard of for upper-middle-class Americans outside of a few very concentrated urban areas (ie, more than Houston -- think NYC, Washington DC, Chicago) with more substantial and pervasive mass transit.

And this car only gets about 7K miles a year of usage, which is a little over half what is considered "normal." Over 1000 miles of that in any year is trips to visit my family; there's no other way to get there easily or economically.
That's not quite correct. It's about the number of transistors per integrated circuit that minimises per-transistor cost. From the actual 1965 paper:

> "The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year (see graph on next page). Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years. That means by 1975, the number of components per integrated circuit for minimum cost will be 65,000."

There's also the 1975 speech where he revised it down from a yearly doubling to once every two years.
A sibling comment noted the FCC rules for antenna structures. FCC regulates some of this, and the cell towers should all be on that list. That said, I don't know how to easily access the FCC information aside from a service like antennasearch or some other thing. There are also paid services for this sort of thing. IF you are searching for towers, also make use of a fiber search, as all these towers need fiber to run, unless they use backhauls or something which seems less likely. The towers are usually owned by something like COMTECH III, LLC and then the entities leasing the tower space operate everything else.

In addition to the FCC, FAA, there should be a massive public paper trail for tower construction. The locality, state, and feds are involved in this.

So, in a roundabout way, I think your thoughts were: "If FCC regulated and lists this, why the tower search crap?" The reason is that if you get the FCC, state, and local to OK your tower and use it for long range deer hunting, the FAA maps will still show your 220ft deer stand, but there are likely no cellular transceivers on the tower. On a cell tower there could easily be 2 today, and then 4 next month.

So the location and use of the towers doesn't always coincide with the cellular network equipment hanging off it, which is what would need to be monitored.

Also I'd wager that the open sensor method of opencellid, MLS, WiGLE will give you better data. If you are doing your own research, it would be greatly helpful to compare to the official lists, but you'll need to verify it anyhow.

If anybody is doing this work I would be interested in knowing more about this landscape.

Interesting stuff.
Zapier has exponentially more integrations than this or anything else, but is surprisingly difficult to use, and more so since they updated their UI. Editing Zaps is pure torture because refresh is so difficult. Exception handling is pure pain. In most instances the breadth of API calls is so narrow, and so rarely updated by vendors that you end up switching to a custom integration. I've also noticed vendors rapidly expanding their native integrations, sidestepping the need for a request broker.

The "retail" integration space remains underserved and if one of the enterprise players decided to go down-market with a better UI and deeper integrations - they'd mop the floor clean in 18 months.
No, they mean "for all", rather than just for the patsies sacrificing themselves so that others can just consume more.
Thinking about any of the high-end hotels in Orlando (we have a few of those ;) ), they are all mini-cities with DOZENS of entry points. You can spend walk 15 minutes walking from one non-main entry point to the main entry / reception area.

Heck, I was just as a small 50 room hotel this past weekend that had 3 points of entry, only 1 was in view of the reception desk.

Any of those non-primary entry points would be extremely easy to walk a bed out of without anyone noticing (assuming no one had eyes on the camera at the moment you walked out).
I'm the same way. My partner is able to do all her homework while listening to music or playing a show in the background. I was somewhat envious, until I looked at some studies that suggest while it's possible, it's not ideal, and can reduce information retention.

As to why some people have an easier time doing it than others, no clue. I have a background in music so I suspect that plays some role. I need absolute silence in order to concentrate.
Same thing, no? If I ask for /api/user/238885 and I get a 404 back, it's because the resource "user" with ID of 238885 doesn't exist. If I ask for /api/banana/wharrgarbl, it's because the resource "banana" with the ID of "wharrgarbl" doesn't exist.
Right. Developing natural language parsers was one of the main motivations for the development of Prolog. Natural language sentences are lists. List processing is something Prolog is excellent at. It's even better at it than functional languages because more things can be expressed in a tail-recursive way.
