Garry Kasparov - along with many others, of course - has attributed this “drifting into the ether” to a shift in how authoritarian leadership maintains compliance. Where old school authoritarian organizations would attempt to actively stifle the flow of truth (aka the Great Firewall), today they seek to obscure the truth with a firehose of partial truths/could be truths/outright lies such that the average person is unable to accurately discern what is fundamentally true about any given situation. The tool of oppression is fake news, norms erosion, and maximizing confusion.
Database janitoring for reddit in 2019 is a weird flex. They barely say anything and what they do say is exactly what you'd expect for a website like reddit:

AWS, k8s, terraform, puppet, think 10 years is "quite old" for a codebase (and they leave a few lines that can be read between to theorize why it's such a ramshackle affair). Publicly supporting new product direction, while simultaneously disclaiming any personal responsibility for it.

Ask HN: Opinions on Impeachment?
Yesterday, US President Trump was impeached.

On the one hand, it may have strengthened his reelection campaign. Impeachment gives the President yet another example of the "witch hunt" he talks about; he can use impeachment as a cause around which to rally his Republican base.

On the other hand, it sets a precedent. Impeaching Trump now makes a powerful statement about holding the President accountable, and that there are consequences for his actions.

What does HN think?

This kind of gets into philosophical questions about what could still be considered a causal link. If the increased chance of depression is caused by significant reduction in quality of life which is caused by pollution, do we still say air pollution has a causal link with depression? I'm leaning towards yes because removing the air pollution will through multiple steps reduce depression/suicide in that case.

Some self-described feminists think prostitution should be legal, and some don’t. There’s not one uniform “feminist opinion” on the subject.

As for those who are against it, sure, maybe some reason in the cynical way you describe. But I think the lion’s share are motivated by other reasons. Typically they argue that prostitution is coercive, as you can’t call something “consensual” that someone needs to do to survive.

Personally I think prostitution should be just as legal as any other kind of work; but that’s not a license to grossly misinterpret the arguments of those who disagree.
This crudely represents one way law enforcement and intelligence agencies (friend and foe) identify targets for further analysis. Think about ways this is weaponized a little more. We saw an example of this in the US Navy prosecution of Gallagher for war crimes.

It is not exactly comparable. Prostitution is an important issue in feminism. Statement "environmentalists support nuclear power" would be a better analogy, because many environmentalists are for nuclear power and many are against.

> 9 out of 10 JS developers I have worked with do not know how equality and object memory references work in JavaScript. They do not understand deep vs. shallow equality. They are barely aware of type coercion. When faced with a TypeScript error, their primary concern is shutting up the compiler. By any means necessary.

I think the exact same problems exist with JS no? Except now there isn’t any compiler to shut up, and things just silently fail.
The leader of the judiciary committee has already said he's not even inclined to call witnesses or hold a trial. The Senate isn't obligated to -- they can simply 51 votes and dismiss the whole thing if they want to, and that's what they've suggested they may do. There are certainly not 67 votes in favor of conviction and there's absolutely zero chance there will be.

Indictments don't really mean shit beyond the fact someone wants a trial, and that's what an impeachment is. The Clinton impeachment was similar politically in that there was never a chance he would be removed from office.
There was never any that much hardwired functions for F1 and F2 on PC (apart for the convention that F1 is almost always help).

On the other hand there is a related issue: on DEC (and some other) terminals with LK201-style keyboards (which in turn inspired the "modern" PC/AT keyboard layout with F1-F12) the keys in positions of F1-F5 had fixed functions. This is the reason why there are about four different escape sequences across vt220-compatible terminal emulators for F5. There simply was not any DEC terminal that had F5 on its keyboard (F1-F4 are almost always mapped to PF1-PF4).

> One of the most amazing things about the news in the last few years is how stories that used to have international, severe impact and political repercussions just drift off into the ether now. No follow-up, no continuing coverage. It's all about immediate spikes in shares, likes, tweets, and readers. They know people don't care about the follow-up that much; heck the data tells them that. So there's no follow-up, only the next sensation.

I sometimes joke here that A/B testing is how Satan interacts with this world. With each passing day, it seems less and less like a joke, though. And in all honesty, data science itself is fine - the problem is that some thing should not be optimized beyond a point.

According to my experience, reflecting on myself and my non-CS friends' interviews at FAANG (I know 3 non CS friends that worked at FAANG), I was grilled harder during interview at FAANG companies because I have a CS degree compared to a bootcamp graduate.

It seems that you already completed some courses on your grad programs, I think that's a good thing. I heard college these days are partnering with bootcamps to help mitigate the gap between CS curriculum and real SE work, why don't you try to find out if your CS dept has a similar program?

Also it looks like you have coded before. Bootcamp is geared toward a complete beginner, like, never-touch-a-code-before-beginner. So the first 1,5 months (out of 3 months) will be introduction to programming concepts. Therefore I think it will be a waste of time and money for you to do bootcamp then. In NYC, Fullstack Academy is about $17.5k now.

If you can stomach watching and learning yourself, watching video for hours, I recommend just going to Udemy and buying one/several of those tutorials and do it your own. Without bootcamp, you also will need to grok resume your own, find job opportunities your own. I think it is fine to be honest, as long as you have a few good projects and good at DS + Algs, you won't have problems in interview.

Another possible path to take, once you finish your CS degree is to interview at banks that will train you at real world projects (I think these banks only take CS graduates). I actually just had a friend recently, just 1 month ago, that got a $100k/yr + $10k signin bonus on a training program at BNY Mellon, and he just graduated and he isn't that strong in his programming skills currently. Not bad at all.

Looking at your interest, I think you'll probably get bored quickly at average SE jobs, but hey, after you finish your MS and get your first SE job, with ChemEng under your belt, the world is your oyster. Create a new ChemTech startup!

I'd like to have a lightweight idea board for some projects at work. Something that leaves less clutter than creating a new gitlag ticket for every little idea that crosses your mind.

Ideally it should be simple, free & open source, and easy to self-host. Ideally it should have nothing to do with Atlassian.

Is there something that you have tried and would recommend? Something else that you tried but found to not work too well? Thanks for sharing your experience!

Ask HN: Is it viable to set up a clients website by using free frameworks?
I have been building websites for years now and I almost always wrote them myself from ground up, in order to have maximum performance and control (and for customization).
Now it exhausts me though. I work months for simple shops and if it wasn't for the pure enjoyment of writing everything myself, I would have already stopped.

I recently started to think about doing the complete opposite. Using some free (property licensed) framework, free themes and just making minimal changes in order to fit the clients design preferences.
For stuff like an event management engine with app and calender integration, I used to work for weeks and now it feels like it's just a click away.
Especially toolkits like WordPress/WooCommerce seem like drag and drop programming.

I feel like this is cheating though because it doesn't have anything to do with web development and I would feel like ripping off clients.

How do people normally approach setting up customer projects?
Especially if you are trying to make it profitable.
I always wonder how those people who live off of "building websites" do it.
You are being downvoted because the idea that electron is the only way to get cross platform GUIs is absurd and comes from inexperience and a lack of research. FLTK, Juce and Qt are just some of the options for creating cross platform UIs that end up being much smaller and MUCH faster than electron. Electron is popular because people learn javascript and don't want to learn C++. I can't completely fault this mentality for toy programs, but at some point the false sweeping statements get pretty old.
I mean, if you really want to, you can configure it to be just JS with .ts file extensions :P

> About 11% of the workers reported suicidal ideation at follow-up, while 3% of them reported moderate/severe suicidal ideation at follow-up. After controlling for age, marital status, race, family history of suicide, and suicidal ideation at baseline, low skill discretion and job strain (a combination of low job control and high job demands) were associated with total suicidal ideation. After excluding those with suicidal ideation at baseline from analysis and further controlling for other work stressors, job strain was strongly associated with moderate/severe suicidal ideation: ORs, 4.29 (1.30–14.15) for quartile-based job strain and 3.77 (1.21–11.70) for median-based job strain. Long work hours (> 40 h/week vs. ≤ 40 h/week) also increased the likelihood for moderate/severe suicidal ideation: OR 4.06 (1.08–15.19).

> Job strain and long work hours were longitudinally associated with moderate/severe suicidal ideation. Increasing job control and ensuring optimal level of work demands, including 40 h or less of work per week may be an important strategy for the prevention of suicide in working populations.

I would go for API-Platform (https://api-platform.com/) without doubt, because it's the needed boilerplate to get started with OpenAPI, Containers and K8S. It comes with React, but it supports also VueJS and uses DoctrineORM for mapping objects in databases (by default, PostgreSQL)
True. Aito does resemble BayesDB. BayesDB wasn't the inspiration for Aito (I found it afterwards), but it is extremely impressive piece of work.

The biggest difference between BayesDB and Aito is that BayesDB is built on top of SQLite, while Aito has its custom implementation. I have understood, that the SQLite approach puts pretty hard limits on the BayesDB's scaling. The custom database enables pretty radical optimizations, which allow much, much bigger scale.

Yes, exactly like that, except it's inaccurate to say that "nobody" listened to them. Many people expressed outrage at the time. We just failed to get big tech and its lobbyists on our side, so Congress was deaf to it.

That's a silly argument. You could equally rightly say that we should just execute everybody because if they are breathing they can enslave someone. Clearly parent didn't mean trivial solutions are the "best" because they achieve the goal 100% but require destroying everything else.

>this study shows that medium development countries have significantly lower suicide rates than high and very high development countries

That basically follows from the definition of HDI: one of the three components of HDI is life expectancy, so even if people in countries of different HDI would have equal tendencies to commit suicide, a lower proportion of people would actually end up committing suicide in lower HDI countries as they would likely die due to other causes either at birth or later.

At this point, they're not that great at either ads or search. They just have a huge amount of market share momentum behind them. They're then able to then use this to influence and mold the web in the direction that suits/grows their business. E.g. AMP, HTTPS, google-play lock-in, no-root access on devices, and a host of things that all synergize with each other to make it next to impossible to fight back as a consumer (even a skilled/informed one).

Regarding them not being that great at search. It's non-trivial to see how blog-spam and fake generated websites are pummeling google's results. We've all encountered it, and have learned to kinda skim/ignore it to get to what we really want, but it's there, and it's dragging us all down.

Not only that, but here we are more than 2 decades since they started, and being one of the largest data companies in the world with untold amounts of potential training data, and they can barely do basic search inference. They practically guess the most likely "thing" you are actually searching for and don't bother to go further. Checking whether the content of the site speaks to the "thing" or "noun" that you want instead of just having it as text inside of it? Forget it. Maybe if I append certain things it means I want the thing I'm searching for to be somehow related to this additional term?

Call me crazy, but I would have imagined that at this point we would be living in an actual digital super age instead of what we have now. I am no longer going to say that we have "all of humanity's combined knowledge" at the tips of our fingers. We simply don't. We have basic facts and a whole host of brain-vomit content that I have to read/watch in order to extract the information I need, without even being able to tell how authoritative it is.
