The worst fucking thing on my phone, BY FAR, is the Google Assistant. I have literally thrown my phone multible times because that GOD DAMN google assistant keeps poping up and no matter how many hours I spend online I can't fix this issue.

Google Assistant and the Samsung program that does the same thing (namaly pissing my off and refusing to be deactivated). Its the worst experiance.
Bikes are cheating.

Bikes need roads. In fact wheels in general are terrible without roads, that's why such a simple concept is rarely seen in nature and appeared relatively late in human history. Bike vs horse on road is unfair, it is like asking a horse to outswim a fish.

Man vs horse on foot is more fair, it is actually representative a natural advantage humans have over other animals. If the human wins, it means it could hunt the horse to exhaustion.
My biggest problem with understanding french is being able to comprehend it at speed. I'm much better understanding song lyrics (because they're often sung much slower than speech.)

I just tried this with "A Very Secret Service" and It's immediately easier to understand what is being said. I can see this becoming a very useful tool for me.
I realize now that I wasn’t explicit, but implied by “in state” is going to a public university (since those are typically where in state tuition is different than out of state tuition).
I did not miss this statement; for me this does not constitute a recommendation. Indeed I think many of the researchers of whom she is critical could claim that this is what they're doing.
You can often reimplement a function body in a way that happens to be the exact way another person implimented the method. There's only so many ways to count the size of an array. That does not mean you're committing copyright infringement.

Google has shown that they did not copy the bodies verbatim so its down to the API. There happens to only be a single way to write the method signatures of a compatible method.
In my opinion, that sounds like precisely the sort of system that should not offer an SMS fallback unless the goal is to create a false sense of security in the user. But YMMV, I don't generally need to access my online banking applications when I don't have useful internet access.

I tend to use TOTP for systems where I'm concerned about offline usage. But again, YMMV.
You can get a federal ID. It's called a passport card. It costs $65.

Which is usually a really crappy idea when you want to save a few bucks compared to a real passport.

They're umpteen stories of heartbreak and hurt, by people not being allowed to board an international flight, or a cruise which stops at destinations not covered by a passport card.

They're also those that thought it's a great idea to get them for their kids.

With the same consequence. A passport card does not allow you to fly internationally. Not even to Mexico or Canada.
Realistically, I don't think they could have purchased either of those.

GOG is a rather niche store with a strategy contrary to Epic Games (in fact, there is this popular item on a functionality wishlist: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/do_not_get_bought_by_epic_...). For most customers, GOG is a secondary store mostly due to its DRM policy which I don't see a chance of Epic Games keeping if they were to purchase the store (if anything, due to Fortnite). GOG isn't really profitable currently, but selling it to Epic Games of all companies would risk PR and could cause skilled developers to leave CD Projekt. It wouldn't make sense for both Epic Games and CD Project.

Meanwhile, Humble Store does pretty well, and I don't think IGN is interested in selling it.
I believe in gravitational waves, but specifically with LIGO I wish they did a better experiment with the multimodal observations. An easy one would be:. For an [n] month period blind all of the results, and mix them with 3X fake data. Then instruct traditional EM astronomers to search for EM phenomena corresponding to these signals. If only 25% of them correlate, we know the multimodal search is not working.
There was that article I saw on HN where IIRC a doctor explained that disability diagnosis depends on the kind of work a person can get. If they are a blue collar worker and they can't stand for a whole shift, they get disability. If they can sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and work, they don't get disability, for same medical issue.

People without college degrees get disability and stop seeking employment, making the economy worse off but making the employment statistics look better.
How do you define yourself?
Watching Chinese TV shows with Chinese subtitles definitely helped me a lot, not only because the subtitles gave me a second chance to get what I missed (which is the same with other languages), but also because I could learn characters for those words I could already recognise in speech.
I don't think this is a technical problem so much as it is a political one, on two levels: First, that the spec for USB-C was allowed to have so many variations that it's very hard to know what you're going to get if you plug a connector in (is it USB 3.1? 2.0? Does it support power delivery? At what amperage? Is it actually Thunderbolt 3? etc.), and second, that a fair number of just totally out-of-spec—and thus, essentially counterfeit—products are being (or at least have been) sold on Amazon and similar places for some time.
Amsterdam works because the residents and the government want it to work. You can find any number of cities with similar attributes such as flatness, density, etc. that do not have the same desires and thus do not have the same success.
Last I checked, I only had to select "skip" during setup to use the device without signing in to an account.
For this extension, Netflix doesn't allow Chrome mobile or iOS browsers (I think) to use a browser-based player, but redirect you to their app. Netflix are probably looking at user-agent.
We did something like /1330/ in Terraria. We drained the ocean directly into the Underworld. It worked beautifully :)

Summary from @bicycledutch

"Utrecht, Netherlands, plans a new neighbourhood with 4 to 6K homes for 12,000 people where everything is within walking and cycling distance (including the Central Railway Station). The design deliberately makes cars unnecessary."

This is one of the top reasons my wife and I tried to build our life to get EU citizenship, and why I tell anyone from my former country who wants a better life about the Dutch American Friendship Treaty, letting any American who can employ themselves move to the Netherlands.

On the static versus dynamic typing debate (2006)
So let’s take step by step:

1. Learn shell scripts.

2. Learn Docker conf.

4. Learn yaml. (May be helm and plethora of acronyms specially designed for k8s).

5. Combine spaghetti of 1,2,3 to build container image scripts.

6. Tie it into CI/CD process for adventurous.

7. Learn to install and manage k8s cluster or learn proprietary non open source api of google or amazon or azure.

8. Constantly patch and manage plethora of infrastructure software besides application code.

Now with all this use a tool designed for million user application on an application which will be used by 100’s to 1000’s of users. I think k8s is designed for google kind of problem and is an overkill for over 80-90% of deployments and applications.

May be just use simple deployment with Ansible, puppet,chef, nix, gnu guix etc. to deploy and manage software based on necessity on a single vm and extend it to a large cluster if necessary of bare metal or vm or container in a cloud agnostic manner.

Not sure when the technology fashion overtook the infrastructure area like complex web app tooling in JavaScript world. K8s has its own place at scale required by handful of Organization with google level traffic and load for most traditional companies Simple cluster management and configuration management tool will work wonders with less moving parts and cognitive load.
"Being used in production by Google" is a poor quality measure for most companies/people.

Google, and similarly large companies, have an entire infrastructure and internal community built around supporting tech stacks. If/When developers hit bugs or limitations, Google has the resources to address it. They can literally assign an entire team to improve a single performance aspect of Flutter or build any missing functionality (much of which is going to stay internal to Google).

Outside developers don't have that ability or bandwidth. They can't afford to stop feature development for days or weeks to figure out quirks/improve Flutter. They're almost 100% reliant on public feature set and community support.

From a pure tech POV, Flutter seems like a better technology approach. However, there have been plenty of "technologically better" frameworks that have failed because the general community does not support them.

That's great! Can my child ride on it to school, and can I ride on it to work?
How is Discord not being transparent here? They never claimed they were E2E encrypted, and the WebRTC spec doesn’t support one to many encrypted streams.

It doesn’t seem fair to burn Discord at the stake for a feature they never claimed to provide.
How would I know if blocking an event would not cause cascading behavior wrecking other use cases?
Hmmm I would just rather build it right the first time then. MERN stack you think?
But perhaps it is actually because we are located in the Slow Zone.
I am skeptical of this kind of animal study, at least as it related to human health.

Humans already have much better longevity than other animals. Other mammals have a lifespan of about 1 billion heartbeats, but humans live for about 4 billion heartbeats. It seems likely that our longevity pathways are already pretty well developed.

That doesn't mean they can't be improved, but you're likely to have better luck extending the life of a dog, cat, or rat than a human with a drug cocktail of some kind than you will humans.
If that’s the case and they were willing to fully pay for the feature, at professional services + markup hours, it wasn’t a loss. In our case, we still got unofficially professional services and recurring subscription revenue and now we have a “referenceable client”.

If it’s behind a per client feature flag, it doesn’t cause any harm.
Then it shouldn't take nearly as long!

I've made my own mpv extension for Japanese subtitle analysis too. It can also create Anki cards automatically (with screenshot and audio).

Having a scriptable media player is really something else.
The Network Operations Center Design: Part 1
I don't understand any of the specialized concepts in this blog post but I am no stranger to this:

"Under pressure, my mind, like a cart on a well-worn path, finds the same old ruts. Once again, writing breaks this cycle because it requires more active participation."

Being in medicine, I sat on a paper for over a month because I knew that on the last week I would be able to just jump-start writing in the same way I have done so for the last few years. It is embarrassing to think that in any realm of science there is this autonomic system that just takes over when the deadline draws near and poorly thought and researched concepts full of jargon fill the pages.
One interesting thing is the idea that app applications and utilities are in a virtual object code rather than native code.

This reminds me of the UCSD p-System of the early 1980's.

To port the OS all you had to port was the very small p-Machine emulator (PME). Once you had a bootable PME, everything else, the entire OS, utilities, and all applications instantly came along for the ride, without even being recompiled.

I could only imagine a modern OS that would take an approach like this, but Hotspot JIT everything to native code.
I took the precursor to Trikafta, Orkambi. It’s not a huge difference but I definitely feel better now.
The market influence referred to is lenders being more choosy about how much they lend to whom, specifically because 18 year old don’t make good decisions.
By probing, I mean looking beyond predictions, the underlying nature of it. The equations of QM give us great results but it is very much an oracle type situation. We ask a question and we get a good answer. But why? Theoretical physicists are told not to look behind the equations and figure more out. Why is it this way?

Let me be frank I am getting way outside my true understanding and parotting what I have read. But if QM the way it is because it fits the many worlds theory? Are we missing another piece to explain it? If you take the simplest version of QM that can solve the problems, you are stuck with many worlds.

These are important areas that colliders aren't going to answer but physicists push new physicists to avoid.

There are other theories but require dressing up the base QM math to eliminate many worlds.

Very few are doing work in this area
>"the problem has been that there was a theory that could explain almost perfectly everything within a certain region of physics, but can't easily be extended."

Sounds a lot like overfitting.
Of course the next question in line is "why is a manager involved in the standup?"

> because government project? although I imagine this happens in non-gov settings too, this is just my experience.

Why not split into smaller work groups? What's the advantage of 20 person teams?
>Or, if not, then what's the path into a job like this? Are they simply 0.00001% level brilliant people, lucky, well connected?

A lot of it is about jumping through hoops but also I think a lot of people who "overachieve" just started young.

I knew people who knew they wanted to be lawyers from age 12 and were finding ways to do work experience from that age.

Similarly, I know many people who were coding from <small age>. (Maybe on the BBC micro, or learning BASIC or learning Java for Minecraft, take your pick).

I have also known people managing personal investment portfolios, and pianists sinking 50 hours per week practising when they were 8 years old.

My personal favorite (because it concerns people close to me) are two people who have instinctively honed the skill to sell and have been selling in some shape or form since they could essentially talk.

When it comes to these "prestigious" type jobs, I think a lot of the people who did well and got the jobs had been prepped a long time in advance. Quite a lot of it is worldview/personality grooming that happens from the high school you go to and your parents but less about direct connections because there are very few grad-level people who get blatant nepotistic hand-me-outs at the big companies you've heard of. Though coaching and interview prep probably does probably abound.

That's not to say it's too late in life to try learn something new, but inevitably life takes over (relationships, and kids).
Officially the EU requires allowing customers to use their own modem if they want to. If the ISP setup requires registering MAC addresses they are obligated to register your personal modem and if a weird setup is required they have to document everything and notify you in advance of changes.
How many services does AWS have?
CS or math masters followed by a masters in computational finance. Most quants are hired right out of these computational finance programs -- which, unsurprisingly, are some of the most difficult programs in the world to be accepted into as you're competing against people from across the world with masters or PhDs in mathematics. Salary ranges are ridiculous; at the school I went to for an MBA it was not unheard of for signing bonuses in quant finance to top $500k (and that was a decade ago).
If we've completely chewed over the particle physics data we can currently produce so thoroughly it probably makes sense to stop employing so many theoretical physicists and instead shift resources into areas that are making progress whether that's pure math or biology or what-have-you.
My wife and I were talking about this borehole a few weeks ago and wondering why similar projects hadn't been undertaken with newer technology. So thanks for this, interested to see how it turns out!
I wish this article was titled 'Nomad is pretty great' since that was really the point being made here. Nomad is not a true alternative to Kubernetes. It does not support autoscaling out of the box, it does not have most of the bells/whistles that Kubernetes has.

However, it is just a single executable and it just works. Combined with Consul and Fabio, you can run a container orchestration cluster with very little fuss that has service discovery, internal load balancing and cluster-wide logging.

It is a feature-rich task scheduler with a pretty good CLI. I highly recommend it, but if you need stuff like autoscaling, you need to use something else.
I don't think it's a good idea.

If there will be any fissure in the steel container, then the water we put on top for sure will get there and in the end, that hot contaminated water will raise at the top of water column.
If I get into a long conversation on HN I usually turn it around and make it into a blog post, cleaning up the arguments and discussion. I only write for myself and don’t publicize my personal blog but I’ve had some of those then turn around and be posted back to HN by someone else which becomes an interesting lifecycle of internet arguments :)
> The files holding the ASTs are append-only. So you get:

I like the idea of beef, c# like syntax but compiled. One question which I couldn’t find a answer to on the website, can beef be used to create shared libraries such as dlls? I’m thinking this could be a serious replacement for C/C++. I’ve tried go, it’s interoperability with the outside is not very good, and rust requires too much of a learning curve.
> well, among other things that library contains an infinite number of proofs that P=NP. Also an infinite number of proofs of the opposite.

Of course, given our current understanding of math and logic, although there would be an infinite number of proofs both for and against P=NP, only ones on one side of the argument could ever be correct, and all the others must contain logical errors, however subtle.

Assuming that the proof of P=NP isn't somehow outside of human comprehension, it means that, over an infinite period of time, a human could go over all those infinite proofs and still pick out the correct answer.
"everything is just closer together over here."

It's not "just" close together like it happened. The US has made it illegal to build human-scale dense neighbourhoods for 50% years.

Parking minimums, density restrictions, street width minimums, LOS (level of service) planning, etc. all combined to make the US an unwalkable, uncyclable, unenjoyable place to be a human. As a reward the US gets about 35,000 people a year killed by drivers, and many many more indirectly through lung disease, cancer, obesity, etc. as well as parents terrified to let their kids ride a bike.

Lots of free parking though.

This is a fantastic series illustrating the effect of urban design policy in the US

Of course it's better. If you prefer to leave your position you can always just resign.
I have dreamed of building the city of the future for more than 20 years now. My last startup even tried to do something about it (then pivoted to something else in real estate).

I will keep dreaming.

Tail recursion? As far as I know, Clojure doesn't and cannot have it because JVM doesn't support it.
Conjectured, but still not proved to be normal. Or did I miss something this big?
It's a false dilemma in most situations. If someone isn't needed, reduced salary won't let them keep their job.
I mean that’s basically the JVM, isn’t it?
I would say second, as the land movers in large rock quarries / mines are already fully autonomous. Farm equipment totally makes sense to come next, as it is fenced in to a boundary.
One nice thing about digital data, as opposed to physical artefacts, is that you don’t need to keep digital data’s metadata attached to the data “at the hip.”

Through the magic of cryptographic hash algorithms, you can just keep your data sets floating around “raw” (like in these torrents), and then, elsewhere, ascribe metadata to the hash of the content it is meant to annotate.

Then, later, you can reassemble them in either order—either by first finding a data set, hashing it, and then looking up metadata in some metadata-hosting service; or by first browsing a catalogue of indexed metadata, finding out about a dataset that meets your needs, and then retrieving the data set by its hash.

Which is to say: with digital data, library science (creating metadata and chains-of-custody and indexing them for search) and archiving (ensuring access to pristine artifacts over time) don’t need to happen at the same time, in the same place. There can be separate “artifact hosting” and “metadata library” services. (Which is especially helpful in contexts where private IP is involved—you can still keep in your metadata library, the metadata for a data-set you don’t have the rights to; and those with the rights can go get the data-set themselves.)
> I've encountered too many crusty old systems where the init scripts used some bizarre old trick from the 70s.

Scripts sure - but modern Linux systems use systemd units, not shell scripts for this.
I once ran a Linux server on an old IBM PC out of a run-down hotel's closet with a tiny APC battery for 10 years without a reboot. Just because I got away with it doesn't make it a great idea. (It failed because the hard drive died, but for a year and a half nobody noticed)

> An awful lot of server systems can tolerate a hardware failure on their one server every couple years given 1) good backups, 2) "shit's broken" alerts, and 3) reliable push-button re-deploy-from-scratch capability, all of which you should have anyway

Just.... just... no. First of all, nobody's got good backups. Nobody uses tape robots, and whatever alternative they have is poor in comparison, but even if they did have tape, they aren't testing their restores. Second, nobody has good alerts. Most people alert on either nothing or everything, so they end up ignoring all alerts, so they never realize things are failing until everything's dead, and then there goes your data, and also your backups don't work. Third, nobody needs push-button re-deploy-from-scratch unless they're doing that all the time. It's fine to have a runbook which documents individual pieces of automation with a few manual steps in between, and this is way easier, cheaper and faster to set up than complete automation.
>With sandy, I was experimenting if you could get 80% of the security while still making it really easy to use

This seems dangerous. That 20% insecurity is still pretty large, but small enough it makes users complacent and gives them that false '100%' secure feeling, especially when coupled with ease of use.
