Making repetitive decisions over a long period of time can make your mind get weird. This counts for the "normal" development of training sets but it gets much worse when the detailed semantics are challenging and hairs must be split carefully.

For instance I was filtering images on my tablet while lying in bed in a dark room and by the time I got to the 2000th image my visual system started getting weird. (e.g. I would see an image that was photocomposited and feel strong cognitive dissonance... I would see the photocompositing and not see the image I was supposed to see)

When you put a group of people in a room and have them label things that require careful discriminations, some of which are critically important, others of which are necessary for the process but not necessary for the product, you will see people get emotionally disturbed. I haven't seen punches flying but I think I could make it happen if the group was compressed enough in space and the stakes were high.

I also had a toxic data set that was derived from Wikipedia where if you started clicking on things from the first record, you would quickly come to various phrases involving the "F-word". Just about everyone who looked at this data set would soon be sitting in a daze in front of the computer repeating the "F-word". I'd tell them that they have the "F---s" and they should get a grip on itself.

Brooks defines a "silver bullet" as a single technology or tool which yields a 10 times increase in productivity across the board. In other words, a "silver bullet" have to eliminate 90% of all the work a developer does during a workday.

But a typical developer is not even coding half of the time! They are discussing with the product owner to clarify requirements, reading specifications, writing specifications, thinking, surfing Jira etc. A lot the work of a developer is to take vague requirements and transform them into unambiguous language. These are effects of the inherent complexity of software development. And then we have stuff like researching and evaluating what framework or library is the best fit for a given task.

Haskell is cool and all, but it will not eliminate 90% of what a developer does in a day. No single programming language, however perfect, will.

I think this gets at something I hinted at in my other post on this thread: It's important to master both the Importance Game and the Leveling Game because they're subgames in the Self-Actualization Game. Both are necessary parts of interacting with people. Mastery of the Importance Game and Leveling Game involves reading the situation: when in Rome, play as the Romans do. The ultimate master of these games can play them effectively in both LA and Portland, but I think realistically, a proficient player chooses which stage in which to play based on their own strengths and goals.
I'm not going to pay $36 to read that (did you?), but the abstract says this:

The general movement to joint stock enterprise could not take place until certain economic and legal changes had been effected … The legal change was the substitution of the law of corporations for the law of partnership in company affairs. Investors could then invest safely and full exploitation of the economic changes became possible.

Of course, no thinking person needs to read a legal brief to realize what a gigantic difference exists with respect to liability, between partnerships and corporations. No actual human being is ever held responsible for the evil done by corporations. Therefore, they continue to do more and more evil. Every time we complain, we're lectured that "their only responsibility is to their shareholders!" If that's the case, it's not because God wrote that on a stone tablet. It is directly a result of the statutes that create the corporation. The laws that legislatures pass, they can change.

Engineers switch companies already on average every few years. All companies have trouble keeping top engineers as it is with all the competition going on. Look at the perks and benefits being offered to them. If those perks can sway engineers then imagine how being forced to do something someone is not good at, might cause them PTSD, might be waste of time for progression in their life, be in general just a lot more unpleasant activity can affect the choice among companies they work for. All of those extra activities besides being able to focus on work will affect productivity and achieving goals. There is enough work and goals to achieve, I am not going to choose a week every quarter to do something that is not going to help me towards career goals I have. I do not think I am superior or others are beneath me but it is logical for me to choose a company that aligns best with what I want to achieve and if I have the option to do so, why not?

Toronto's current mayor did this early in his tenure after a massive number of complaints had been going up about the trains with malfunctioning cars on Line 2 during a heat wave. I remember riding those. It was torturous some days—especially when they'd get stuck in a tunnel.

He rode one, from end-to-end on the line, during the heatwave, in rush hour. He came out the other end drenched in sweat, jacket hanging in his hands, looking exhausted and quickly set about resolving that problem. (Nuanced details left aside, so don't hang me fellow Torontonians)

The regulations would prevent random scraped data from being compiled into official profiles used for official purposes, such as credit checks, security scans, and anything that can legally and official be used as verified information about you. Regulations need to be in place to prevent junk profiles compiled from dirty sources and then used as official information.
Turning off a site for EU is pretty easy: setup a geo IP lookup and return a sad page; minimal testing and you're unlikely to break it.

Turning off trackers is harder, you do the same geo IP, but then you have to find all the places you put trackers, and disable them, and test the site without them, and somehow make sure when the next tracker is inserted, it doesn't go to EU. If your code is well managed, it might be easy, but if you're a newspaper, who knows. They may have several different generations of template systems, with older articles staying on what they were published with, or older articles may be static html with embedded trackers.

I think it's fine to be happy, but it's fine to have goals, and then change to better accomplish those goals. To pretend to be someone who you truly would rather be. It's not like the old you disappears when this happens... you just grow more nuanced.
Every thread in HN is filled with pessimistic people pointing out how things can't work. It's tiring to read.

Solar and wind absolutely can produce all the energy the world currently needs, using only a tiny fraction of available land area. You could power the whole of the US by 100 square miles of solar panels in the southwest, backed with one square mile of batteries [1]. Clearly it's a hard problem and there are many obstacles to overcome, but just as clearly it's not fundamentally unsolvable.

Long-distance electrical transmission is actually pretty efficient nowadays, so that's not a showstopper either.

Bottom line, optimists are responsible for progress and while many people on HN are content to write comments about how it can't be done, somewhere there's an entrepreneur working hard to make it happen - and the smart money is on them, collectively, over the long-term - and thank goodness for that!

The time is being spent educating higher-tier engineering, business, sales, marketing, and other staff, of the full implications of their work.

If it's not possible to do a thing, safely, effectively, and socially beneficially at scale, maybe it shouldn't be done at all.

Markets externalise all kinds of costs, with long-term and latent risks and power inequalities prime among them.
Energy production really isn't the issue. Energy storage is.

We produce way more energy than we use. We currently do not have an easy way to store it. So why generate more than we need? Well, we need to have power available to prevent brown outs, especially right after work when everyone gets home and flips their light switch (so to speak). Second; it is actually more efficient to keep the generators fully spun up.

Show HN: I built a face-to-face video chat app with Rails 6
DISCLAIMER: This tutorial is not for beginners.

Want to know how to build apps like skype, zoom etc... using Ruby on rails 6? I got you!!

Building a video chat feature on a ruby on rails application is not an easy thing to do. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to do it, another reason being that I didn’t want to build another blog, todo-app etc… I wanted something challenging.

You can check the app on heroku at https://dev-video.herokuapp.com/.

For a demo, you can either do it yourself (by logging into two separate accounts on different browsers), or check this small demo on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXouJ8w7rQg .

Here is a link to the first 7 chapters of the tutorial: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2aqdsvm721tr01s/Ebook2020.pdf?dl=0 .

You can get the full ebook on Gumroad at https://gumroad.com/l/lNEhE

If you want to follow along with this tutorial, you are going to need a few things:

Ruby 2.7

Rails 6.0.2

AWS S3 bucket

AWS credentials (access_key_id and secret_access_key)

Tokbox credentials

> common issue with C++ software is the need for a stable, standard ABI.

That's not entirely true. C++ has a stable ABI: compiling a library with GCC and reusing it with clang or ICC is doable and commonly done nowadays.

The problem with the C++ ABI is that it is shamefully fragile. It is extremely easy to break an ABI without wanting it in C++, even for experts.

Because these non-ideal "definers" have their own limitations which they are not aware of, otherwise they would fix themselves and already be ideal. These limitations will inevitably get into the designing process and the result.

nah, people like us just value different things.

I can tell you I grew up extremely poor, to the point of homelessness, and if you think for a second I give a shit what bob thinks of me, you're wrong. Those sorts of experiences give you a different perspective. It's one of the major reasons why I've situated my life in such a way that these same people's disapproval isn't going to affect me. In fact, I had a company inadvertently learn that lesson late last year, and it hurt them way more than it hurt me. They made the mistake of evaluating my worth by how I play that game.

It seems to me that a youtube moderator has to moderate things ranging from a simple boob on screen to the most atrocious acts you can imagine.

This feels like an externality that needs to be internalized by these platforms.

It shouldn't be legal to destroy people's minds, then drop them back off into society with no help.

If you want to run a massive platform where anyone can upload anything, then you should have to pay for it, at least insofar as financially supporting the potentially life-long therapy someone is going to need after doing a moderation job.

One of many, many, externalities these platforms create, I realize.

It's kind of weird to respond to "Hey I did this cool thing that I'm really proud of" with "[nothing about that specific thing] have you ever done this very specific thing in the programming language that you happened to be using".

It'd be like going to somebody's university graduation and instead of congratulating them, you ask if they have a detailed opinion on some obscure philosophy text. It's potentially a fun thing to discuss, but it's a weird time to bring it up.

No one reasonably hires without deciding what traits are important for a role. Building a whole new division? You probably want someone with experience in the field, preferably building divisions. Working on maintaining legacy code in a specific language? A domain expert would go far for that. It's not too hard to measure what is valuable for many roles. Beyond all that, best is relative, and an aggregate of all of your skills.

This isn't about hiring "the best", it's about hiring the best that you can find. And evaluating that is totally subjective. But you know what isn't an objective measure of "the best"? If your skin looks different than mine. That's a measure of almost nothing about the quality of your character, work ethic, or intelligence.

It depends on where they are. Take a look at the diagram on that Wikipedia page linked above - a geosynchronous orbit is very high; 50 or so times further out than the ISS, for example. And that's about as far out as we ever put satellites, so you've only got to boost it by a little bit to get out of the way of active space traffic.
