They don't, they offer flexible workflow systems not unlike CI/CD pipelines. Customers just want simple and fast, so that's how they configure them.

I'd love to hear what mac-based GPU cloud computing system you are using.

Apple badly needs a cloud compute system. If you ever need to do a lot of iOS/Xcode builds (say, a build server for mobile apps at a large company) you'll find that it's just about impossible to get a good, scalable system from Apple.

Apple don't allow VMs (not in a scalable way anyway) so every instance needs to run on its own Apple hardware. This led to us having to buy huge numbers of "trashcan" macs to do our builds - they didn't even have a good rackmount solution for high end mac-based servers.

Ruby blocks are another example of something that looks like a functional programming feature but is actually not. As in Java 8 and C++11, which also added lambdas, it doesn't have much in common with FP lambdas. These are essentially syntax sugar for an ad-hoc function that's too small to factor our and give a name. FP lambdas are the most elementary unit of computation. You're supposed to be doing absolutely everything with lambdas even addition, theoretically (head in the clouds academic BS), and the other syntax (like `do` in Haskell) is sugar for lambdas.

So basically Ruby is far from FP. It sticks to OOP, which has actually been proven to work.
Even for Android you can simply download an app that gives very similar features.

I'm not sure what this quote is meant to illustrate. The structure of the Electron is now understood in QM (it is structure-less, an elementary particle), the luminiferous aether is disproven, and gravity is understood as equivalent to acceleration, essentially through E=mc2, instead of being carried by particle or wave (though it can cause waves, as recently detected). On the other hand, other fields, such as the electrical field, are shown to reduce to particles flying around (photons, for the electric field), so if the quote was meant to say that electrical charge could replace a graviton, that has proven wrong.

At least the second link you posted suggests that the attention they garnered was less about remarkable journalism on its own merit, and more about supporting a reactionary "woke" political narrative.

I think this is similar to the Sokal Squared[0] scandal, in that a tribe (in this case purveyors of progressivism) will judge some work unduly positively.

Put another way, Teen Vogue's notoriety at the time was less "wow, this is truly groundbreaking journalism", and more "wow! Teen Vogue usually writes about makeup, but now they've gone all serious, and they said Fuck Trump! And Fuck Trump indeed! Go Feminism!"

As a long Windows 7 and KDE/Plasma user, I can admit it is true. Plasma can be easily tuned to look very similar to the Windows GUI, and traditionally it does that already out of the box even more then Gnome2 did it. Xfce and LXDE are lightweight alternatives which also try to come to the "classic desktop" as close as possible, with traditional program menus and little fancyness (at least in the default/standard configuration).

...semi off-topic, but man, how I wish Ruby had won the hearts of data-science and machine-learning practitioners instead of Python or R! It looks like such a wonderful and extensible and programmer friendly language compared to all the others in the "multi-purpose dynamic 'scripting' languages class". Every time I read Ruby code it almost puts a smile on my face, it seems such a joy to write and think in, so sad it didn't break out of its niche much :(
Hey HN Community :) Co-Founder here at Incent.

So Ingage is a product that we've been working on for a while now. It came about to help a way for live streamers like my friends reward their audience and thank them for watching and supporting.

So traditionally, many live stream platforms only allow the audience to donate "bits" or "bobs" back to the streamer. Sometimes it's real $ but in most cases its just some random thing that has no real value. It's pretty good that they are getting something, but we thought there has to be a better way to help streamers and influencers give back to their community too.

So we build Ingage. It's our engagement platform between streamers and their audiences.

Its completely free to join and use. What does it do?
- It allows a streamer to create a campaign. Campaigns are the time blocks that they are going to stream.
- When a streamer creates a campaign, we automatically generate a set of codes that we call "Drop Codes".
- Then the magic is that we provide a special add on that they can use on OBS, Streamlabs OBS or XSplit (these are broadcast tools).
- When they add the add-on our software takes care of the rest.
- Viewers see a banner that shows the drop codes at random times during their live stream.
- Viewers go to https://get.incent.com and are able to enter that code and redeem is instantly for some $$ value of the Incent crypto-currency that is currently traded on exchanges globally.
- The streamer is able to instantly reward their audience!
- The streamer gets real time stats about who is redeeming and earning rewards on their live stream and as a result their engagement in the live stream is buzzing.
- This isn't a new streaming platform. Instead its a service for streamers and viewers to help make the streaming ecosystem more vibrant.
- Ingage works on any streaming platform: Twitch, Mixer, DLive, Facebook Live!

It's currently live and working on some awesome streams at the moment.

We have several new features coming down the pipeline too like donations, verification badges, more display overlays, dark mode and most importantly are currently working to make it possible for streamer to earn an income from using Incent completely free.

I would love to get your feedback about it. If you are a streamer, test it out! It's completely free!
It was not that high, so the area is smaller than it would have been if the plane would have fallen from 10000 km altitude.
>A fun (but impractical and frustrating) variant of this feature is to have the image change as soon as the viewer looks away. So you’re looking at a painting, glance away to another room, and look back to find a new painting hanging on the wall.

> Handling uncertainty is difficult regardless; attaching probabilities to judgements did not ensure the social sciences avoided the replication crisis.

Indeed! I'd say that using probabilities is necessary (or at least very useful), but not sufficient for handling uncertainty.

> I'm not sure what you mean by "low flexibility of interpretation": purely logical proofs are supposed to assume nothing about interpretation.

Yes. I found this part hard to phrase. What you are saying is correct.

I meant it in the sense that there are some assumptions made in logic which do not necessarily hold in normal reasoning. As a simple example, classical logic requires no contradictions whereas the average person may hold several contradictory beliefs without going insane (human compartmentalization is there for a reason, after all!). Paraconsistent logics aim to address this. Classical logic also does not take into account the passage of time.

But by "flexibility of interpretation" I meant something like in logic to derive the truth or falsehood of a statement P(X) about some element X, we can only use known facts about X (i.e., previous statements Q, R, S). We pin down a very specific definition which we can interpret any way we want, but we pick axioms Q, R, S to match our interpretation. This is what I meant by the "interpretation of X is inflexible" (poor phrasing). I mean that the properties / axioms are decided at the beginning and do not shift.

However, when we reason in every day life about e.g. chairs, you and I don't start by pinning down an exact definition of what a "chair" is - we assume some shared knowledge and then debate despite starting from different worldviews. During the debate, we might decide to start pinning down a definition of a chair for the purpose of the debate (is it "something that has been created with the explicit purpose of being sat on"? What is "created"? What if I come across a log that I use to sit on every day? What if I take a dining room chair and stick it to the roof so no-one can sit on it?). If you are convincing enough, the way I use the word "chair" in every day life might change. This is what I mean by the "interpretation of the word chair is flexible".

My own background is in mathematics and programming, with interest in mathematical logic. I'm afraid my philosophical background is rather lacking. I'm sure such concepts have been described in some depth by various philosophers, but I'm not sure which, or I would just reference the relevant concepts by their common name / link the relevant Wikipedia / Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy articles.
Society needs to change. It's not about "men vs women". Men have to take responsibility partly because most often we are perpetrators, partly because we are most often in power. If there is a women dominated environment, I would expect the same vice versa.

As a hobby I thoroughly enjoy, I help my father’s company catch up with the 2020’s through creation of various online services for their products (which are in the agricultural tech sector).

They already use Microsoft stacks internally so Azure was a natural extension.

The combination of C#, Visual Studio and Azure Functions to create serverless cloud systems (together with Azure SQL Server, Azure Redis, Azure IoT and more) is mind blowingly, unreasonably effective.
Azure Data Studio is also a pleasure to work with and such a fresh take in terms of UX.

I simply enjoy every minute of working in that environment with those tools. I don’t have experience with GCP or AWS, but I can’t see how they provide something that debuggable and intuitive without the Visual Studio core.

Another benefit - perhaps wholly psychological and imagined - is that I know Microsoft understands and lives on enterprise customers. Azure is not a side business like AWS (to e-commerce) or GCP (to advertising) is.

Traditional imperative programming has been there since almost 50 years and it will be there in 50 years. Programming languages come and go, but the general spirit is the same since the early days of computing. I like your car example: One day or another, you need to refill gas or the oil, change your tires, fill up the windscreen cleaning liquid, or understand that your V-belt broke. You can pass all this on a very surface level, just as a driver. But you will be much more confident when you learned that your car has a motor and gears and all that. That's the very reason we learn math today despite we have calculators since decades.

This is the real key. The only notable thing is that Azure was built well enough to play ball against AWS so that the sales team could really work.

For developers it seems that Azure tends to settle at a clear #3 behind AWS/GCP for most. It only makes sense that Microsoft would look to carve out an enterprise niche. They seem to have done a decent job keeping their enterprise stuff fresh, I'm honestly surprised they didn't go the way of IBM/Oracle.

Looks like a Miro (former realtime board) clone to me. What is the differentiator?
I'm not sure why you say that like it's some kind of insult. Norman Borlaug and Ken Alibek used the same tools. Fertility clinics use the same tools you see in GATTACA and the same tools that will hopefully be used in the future to reduce the occurrence of cystic fibrosis and Huntington's to zero. So, yeah, it's not about the tools. It's about the goals.

I'd say the opposite. I wouldn't say it's an issue, but personally I wish D didn't offer alternative memory management options. Other languages like Go or C# don't even give you a choice, so people just accept it and move on. But every discussion on D always turns into the "evil GC" discussion. I use a lot of D and was never bothered by the GC and I find it easier to work with than manual memory management. I guess I could live with automatic refcounting too but I doubt it could be integrated well into the language at this point.
I remember the smell of carbonless copy paper from an Okidata dot matrix printer hooked up to an AT&T 6300 (same as Olivetti M24) at my dad’s garage (shop). It’s like an earthy “new car smell,” probably cancer-causing VOCs, but it is what it is.
I think everyone here is missing the real reason why big companies want to go with Azure (and smaller companies probably should consider too).

No one trusts Amazon to not screw them over. The A to Z in the Amazon logo hurts AWS because big companies are worried Amazon will compete with them (if they don’t already) and will use AWS data and information against those companies.

MS has a long history of being a provider of tools and not really competing with partners. Even when they did start competing (such as with the Surface line) it was done in a way that has not really hurt the partners and has probably helped them by raising the Windows brand in the premium space vis a vis a Mac.
Ok, lets look in context. In 1920 records were kept about beeing a jew. It was perfectly ok, no harm done, some record no one cared about. In 1942 those records became mortal, sponsored by state. Should we talk about anti-gay laws? One day it is fine, second day you can get prisoned.

No one should keep such records as society is changing and not always to best. This is one of the reasons, privacy is one of fundamental human rights. And is blatantly violated for the profit.

After graduating from Ohio State, I moved out to Newport Beach, California for my first post-college job. The company arranged for help finding an apartment in the area, which includes 1.5 days of apartment-hunting, and generally getting used to the area.

My father & a friend helped me out by driving the bulk of my stuff out to California. The guide was happy to use her AAA of California membership to get a custom trip guide made. It wasn't as novel as the turntable, but it was very nice!

And of course, the first thing I did when I moved in was to go to a bookstore and buy the Thomas Guide covering Orange County.
