I have also noticed a general trend of less hackers lately. I think there was a temporary surge because the social network movie and all these tech companies IPOing and making everyone rich that finally died down recently. I think the application rate to Y Combinator itself also flatlined or decreased in the last couple batches
CNCF ambassadors / Docker captains spoiling Bangalore's open source culture
Until before few years, Bangalore's opensource culture was fine. But recently all the CNCF ambassadors and Docker captains decided to start their own companies (read training centres) and trying to use the community platforms such as meetup groups to channel more people to join their training courses. Why training centres you ask? because they have zero practical knowledge on Docker or anything and these are the people who jumped on the Docker wave much earlier, started writing crappy blog posts and somehow became "Docker captain". Now all they want is to make money.

One such example is a company named Cloudyuga.

Yeah this should be a $1000 job but by the same token why should OP foot the entire bill. Ah! open source!
Seriously? You are stalking me now? In which world is that good behaviour and why do you think it's relevant?

I hadn't mentioned arson because it's stupid. If you go stalk my HN comments you'll find I talk about it there and ironically I did write something about arson, around about the time you wrote this: https://mobile.twitter.com/nlothian/status/12151167074522439... - the short version is that every year roughly 50% of the bushfires in Australia are deliberately lit or suspicious, and there is nothing to indicate this year is any different.

And seriously? Are you really trying to somehow tie Australian bushfires to some wacky case in the US? What is wrong with you?

To make it clear: assuming the impression I get from this report then I think this actor guy should go to prison for false reports. That still doesn't mean I'd ever heard of him before.

That is the experience so far. As well as waste that must be stored for generations. Not a lot of waste but even a little bit of some thing that must be stored for more than 10,000 years is a impossible prospect

I find it very bizarre that the building of the great wall of China seems to be considered by the author an achievement.

I'm rather confident that the folks involved in the actual piling of stones and likely forced to do so at sword point would have begged to differ.

Also, building border walls is apparently an unfashionable endeavor these days, I'm not sure why one built a 1000 years ago should be treated different.
Yes. See also my other reply to basically the same question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21998987
Interesting.

But surely a fake report as obvious as this appears to be would be obvious to catch? I guess you are probably right about his motives, but he seems spectacularly dumb.
As an alternative to going hunting for hardware that will read your MFM disks, you might also have an idle look around for retrocomputing groups that are nearby(ish). Someone might live within a viable distance, or you might be able to bring the disks to a meetup. I understand sending disks off is also a thing, but given their age and the weakness of the magnetic fields in them I'd shy away from subjecting them to potential erasure via postal conditions. Unsure if this perspective is overparanoid.

As I said - picking a different book lets your brain make a diff. You get to see words/ideas used in different contexts, by different authors.

It's like trying to approximate a relationship between a set of points. It's better to look at many points than to try and sample the same point multiple times.
It mostly does, but they talk about part of that actually, and why they had to use and extend `case` rather than introducing a new reserved word (like match).

And to your point, I think... Some of these features like pipes are really cool to see in languages like Ruby or JavaScript, but holy shit without true immutability some of this seems like a nightmare to emulate (like not being able to match on method calls if I remember correctly) in an traditional OOP runtime/vm.

Fuck my life, and this is strictly IMHO, but pipes seem totally worthless when you have to worry about the object and not the data...

AMD confirms their next gen Zen 3 CPUs will release this year
Better yet, never collect the SSNs of secret spies. Or of anyone else, for that matter.
Is this because of AD and Office integrations?
I would assume it’s due to a lot of the banks running windows and having large AD rollouts means it’s a bit of a gateway to the rest of their cloud services.

You have to use Azure ADFS for things like office 365/teams, so would make sense for people to keep all their eggs in one basket.

Scale.

40, or even 20 years ago, the State might have been able to note a record of phone calls, postal correspondence (look up "postal covers"), some financial purchases, periodicals subscriptions, and with a great deal of effort, some of my travels and movements, mostly limited to specific port entries and exits, and air travel.

But unavailable would have been: dictionary queries, encyclopedia queries, books read, specific magazine articles read, the contents of virtually all conversations, detailed movement and location history, social associations, detailed purchase history, and more.

Today, mobile devices report location to a precision of inches at a frequency of minutes. Any random query of momentary interest can create a permanent record. As a HN submission earlier today notes, simply casually perusing a document -- clicking a link -- can result in having your home raided and all electronic devices confiscated and held for a year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21992491

The scope and scale of intrusiveness is absolutely unprecedented.

Yes, the State has some rights and powers. It also has a tremendous responsibility, which it increasingly seems to fail to excercise appropriately.

And I say this regardless of specific country or jurisdiction -- the story linked above comes from Germany, and instances readily come to mind from the UK, US, Japan, China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere.

The corruption of absolute power is not bounded by culture, constitution, or ideology.

I remember the blown up case of MKBHD being blocked by wonder woman when he pointed out in a screenshot that she used iPhone despite her being a Huawei ambassador when PRing and asking people to buy Huawei phones on Twitter.

Which was fine if she did it personally but people used it was her pr team as an excuse to shut down drama.

She unblocked MKBHD after deleting/retweeting those tweets using an android phone this time.

I found it a bit weird how her fans and most people casually ignored it using the pr team theory. That just makes it worse.
Using color-correction charts is a very standard photographic technology for correcting colors in any situation, where there is challenging lighting. So just using one for your underwater photography would give you vastly improved colors in your picture. As I understand their work, it uses a correction model which is distance dependant, so corrects the color shifting with distance. In air, changing the distance doesn't change the color appeareance, but under water, the absoption and scattering effects vary with distance.
It's about using the right tool for the right job.
Yes. If you're a front-end developer at some capacity, developing anything of use for > 0 users, you'll have hell of a lot of browser compatibility issues.

People will browse your app from ancient mobile phones. Weird smart TVs. play consoles. Chinese browsers you've never heard of but come bundled with some we-something, they will browse your app from PoS, from a DJI smart RC, from a fridge. And from IE6.

And you know what's the best way to mitigate all that mental load? You just start upfront with a framework that was already battle-tested on all these weird browsers.
MS has established business relationships with large corps to a much greater degree than Amazon. They're already entrenched as nobody's moving away from Windows desktops or Office anytime soon, so the upsell to cloud for them is trivial.
I work for a Danish municipality with roughly 10,000 employees. I’m not sure if you know, but our public sector has been competing with Estonia at being the most digitised in the world for a decade. We operate an estimated 300-500 different IT-systems, some of them enterprise sized SAP solutions deployed on old IBM mainframes with multiple layers of APIs to make their fronts somewhat web-based (don’t ask). Others are minor time registration systems or automated vacation-payouts. I said estimated because a day-care institution is free (though advices not to) buy it-systems without talking with any part of the centralised organisation.

Microsoft has been one of our better partners in all of this. They aren’t cheap, but they listen to us when we need something. We have a direct line to Seattle, and parts of what we ring up at tickets have made it into the global 365 infrastructure. Stuff like making it easier to hide teams-emails from the company-wide outlook address-book.

More than that though, our tech-team is trained and certified in Microsoft technologies. The combination of in-house staff and a 30+ year long good business relationship makes Azure such an obvious choice for cloud. Some of the co-municipal systems we buy through a joint-owned organisation called KOMBIT operate in AWS (support and operations is handled by private sector companies), and it’s not like we’re religious about not using AWS or something other, but we’d need to build a relationship and retrain staff to do so.
Storing heat in a big water tank is certainly an option but it has drawbacks. I'm looking forward to developments in thermal storage in phase change materials and also storage via endothermic reactions.

I hope... this is not another feature that is added to Ruby at the sake of the functional programming trend.

Rubycop’s author criticized[0] Ruby 2.7 for losing a direction/vision where Ruby should go (which sparked controversial operators that were quickly removed).

Most of them looks like, at least to me, trying to fit a functional programming features in an inherently object-oriented language to be ‘hip’. Like... the pipeline operator which had strange semantics.

I hope this isn’t one.

>then weapons designed to target underground facilities

This is the most likely scenario for tactical nuclear to happen in the current state of things, especially given Iran's facilities. Not saying likely, just most likely.

I don't know if it's a technical limit, or just what happens to be currently available, but:

>the GBU-28 used its large mass (2,130 kg or 4,700 lb) and casing (constructed from barrels of surplus 203 mm howitzers) to penetrate 6 meters (20 feet) of concrete, and more than 30 metres (98 feet) of earth.[11] The B61 Mod 11, which first entered military service after the Cold war had ended, in January 1997, was specifically developed to allow for bunker penetration, and is speculated to have the ability to destroy hardened targets a few hundred feet beneath the earth.

I assume we could design a non-nuclear to penetrate to comparable depths as the nuclear, but the nuclear will always have the yield advantage, and therefore greater effective depth.

It's not about struggling so much as about avoiding a situation where one small problem makes a site either look visually 'broken' or (worse) fail to function correctly.

There are way too many small bugs and incompatibilities like these, and way, way too many browser versions still seeing use by at least a small percentage of users, to worry about them individually, unless you want that to eat up all your time.

So your choice is between "be okay with a broken experience for some users", or "use build tools to compile to a common-ancestor target of near-universally-supported CSS and JS".

You can hear plenty of sound from the outside, most of it in the lower frequency bands and sometimes only via bone transmission, but it's there. Get a pair of active noise-cancelling headphones and try it for yourself, especially in more complicated driving situations.

While the brain can still operate a car with the loss of some input, visual input isn't really enough and is heavily supported by all other senses (acceleration and gravity, sound, touch and vibration, temperature and kinesthetic). Unlike modern computers, the brain is massively parallel and asynchronous, so it can simply use all of the inputs to find the correct course of action, even going as far as considering multiple lines of thoughts (and then your memory is manipulated so you only experience the chosen line of thought, similar to your vision being manipulated when you blink).
It's not really a random walk in any way. Having designed artificial evolutionary systems, even if you screw up the implementation and the search space is really bumpy, it usually still makes progress, albeit very slowly.

Firstly let me say that AWS and Azure are in many ways equivalent - there’s nothing you could build in one you couldn’t build in the other.

But from the POV of an enterprise AWS requires you to have serious full-time AWS gurus in-house or rely on expensive external consultants. You probably need a whole team just for cost optimisation. Whereas most of what you actually want in Azure can probably be done by your existing Windows guys that you have anyway, its layered services are much more mature and aligned with typical enterprise use cases, especially if you have existing workloads you want to migrate. AWS maybe has the edge for a pure greenfield play but those are rare in the big corporate space.

Google cloud is nowhere, they are not a player in this space at all.

That primarily happened under former editor Elaine Welteroth; she left shortly after Condé Nast killed the print edition, and it's my impression that TV has been moving back toward a fashion focus -- although a glance at their web site shows that they're still doing political reporting and op-eds.
> very large heap sizes

It is not heap size that matters, but how often old objects are mutated. Basically, if you have 1TB of immutable objects, you are lucky, but if you constantly modify all the heap, then you will have a lot of headache.

GC authors continuously mislead on this issue for many years (they promised the same with multi gigabyte heaps but with G1 several years ago).
I'm sure the 'ASRC Federal' holding company acts as a nice firewall between ASRC proper and the Federal subsidiaries actually getting the government contracts. It's probably just about impossible for the board to keep tabs on what's going on (esp from Barrow).

Start using Anki / SRS to learn and consolidate your knowledge. It’s easy to do a dozen cards in a few minutes.
Consider three ecosystem saturation points:

1: No users: infinite flexibility

2: "Small" userbase: changes produce grumbling, community adjusts over time, old code is successfully forgotten (deleted + no nostalgia)

3: Very Large™ userbase: even TNT won't change the language

Each of these is relative: (3) has happened with Python (famously explosively), Rust, Go... and also Lua, awk, FORTH. Language size ("volume") seems to have no impact; once a language becomes known for a certain way of doing things beyond a certain scale, trying to go against that (even as the language creator) will land you in a strange, undefined uncanney valley that's not precisely un-idiomatic, but... everyone will still try and steer/corral/etc you back to the "established way".

Obviously (2) represents the perfect ideal here. (Well it wins by default, since (1) is socially depressing :) )

So, one approach could be to try lots of ideas (at a pace that keeps up the creative energy to enjoy the effort) early on.

The key in this case seems to be figuring out the magic threshold point where the community is

- large enough to provide constructive feedback and help the project substantively grow

- small enough to stomach fundamental, relearn-everything-you-learned, changes

- cohesive enough not to be disbanded by the impact of said changes

and carefully ratelimiting publicity and knowledge spread to control ecosystem growth, in a way that does not rein it in.

The dynamics of what defines this balance seem to be specific to each project.
