As a physician forced to use Epic, I'm not sure "crafted" is the word I'd use to describe their software. It's more like they addressed the spec from the C suite in a way that was equivalent to punching health care providers in the face. They take Dad's money, and use it to pay thugs to beat up his kids.
What can you do with a trillion dollars that you can't do with a few billion?
This is absolutely valid. There is a comprehensive analytics platform that I work on where we went from (a litany of) REST services to our own domain language. It not only allowed us to go across databases (Graph / RDF / RDBMS) but even across processing engines (R/Python). This is really where I think the industry should go. I am sure someone will point out there is a great talk by Brian Kernighan on this on youtube.
Is it a case of either us regulating AI or AI ultimately regulating us? It would be tricky to implement such regulation, it would need to be a global effort like nuclear non-proliferation. Otherwise certain nations might pursue unregulated AI in hopes of some advantage to the detriment of all.

Ted Chiang, the author of the story, would disagree with you.

"Original inspiration for the story was not about linguistics. Originally I wanted to write a story about someone who knew the future, but was unable to change it. What sort of emotions that person might experience, knowing that both good things and bad things were going to happen, and not able to do anything about it? I had to figure out how to grant this protagonist ability to know the future. I toyed with a couple of possibilities: through meditative experience, through mind-altering drugs, some other experimental treatments? None of those seemed particularly interesting to me.

Then I remembered Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Learning a language and then being able to know the future -- that seemed a very interesting idea to me. It was only then that it became a story about linguistics.

At that time I didn't know a whole lot about linguistics, and I realized it was going to be a very difficult story to write. I thought I wasn't a good enough writer to write this story. I spent the next few years reading books about linguistics and working on my writing, and then finally I felt I knew enough about linguistics to fake it, and I was going to give it a try."
I am by no means an expert in this area, but whenever I read a new discovery in medicine that essentially boils down to "by doing this simple adjustment to an already existing complex machinery, this major problem is solved" I can't help but ask myself the question why - if the adjustment is so easy - hasn't this adjustment already successfully appeared in evolution? Why isn't this already in the feature set out of the box?

Or the corollary to this: there is probably a major downside to this simple adjustment...

Old article. And it ignores the one true desktop Unix, OSX.
I agree with everything you said. Use what the professionals have created. My point is just that some of these facile methods like my example are worse implementations and should be upgraded. But they aren't completely useless and just as bad as a 4 character password stored in plaintext on the server.

Which is how some people seem to approach security advice... "either it's up to my ideal standard, or it's a completely idiotic implementation that will surely be hacked in a fortnight."

You seem to have some balance and I applaud that. Security is a balancing act between the level of security, development and maintenance difficulty, and user experience and you have to negotiate an acceptable level that at least exceeds the bare minimum of security required.

Ask HN: What's Wrong with My Resume?
Hi HN,

Over the years this community has given me amazing advice and support that I can't thank you enough for. I'm now looking for jobs/internships and I'm having a rough time.

I'm about to graduate this semester from college and in the past two years I have applied to over 150 internship/job apps but I get a frustratingly low interview rate.

The hiring process at tech companies is frustratingly opaque, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Could you guys give me some constructive/actionable criticism of my resume?

Here's my resume (with phone and address removed): [redacted]
"The larger point here is that when groups get larger, it’s an exponential change, not a linear one" --- this sentence is a big pet peeve of mine. It's not exponential, its quadratic. I get that the author trying to say superlinear and the distinction of exponential vs. quadratic doesn't feel much. However, if "math" is mentioned in every paragraph, better get the math right.
The point is that it doesn't make much sense to avoid Google - for the reason that it's a giant with too much power - when Microsoft and Amazon are just as big, and also have healthcare businesslines.

Great news: you never need to use an infix operator in julia. All infix operators are also regular functions, so

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5

is actually the same as

+(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

though there's still commas between the arguments.

There's a pretty clear ship date, after which you never touch it again.

Even in the world of SAAS, there are plenty of services or libraries that you write that serve a single purpose, are good enough, and never get touched again.
Most of the command line tools in MacOS were ported from FreeBSD. I believe they took TCP from BSD too, but I'm not sure if that's from Mach.
If anything I'd turn the question around and ask if younger devs were more resistant to adopting older technology.

It certainly seems that way when we have tools like electron are popoular because it allowa them to stick with the javascript/html they already know vs learning things like native desktop apis or nosql where they can just insert json objects rather than learn SQL. It seems rare to meet devs under 30 who learned tried and proven languages like c, c++, perl, etc or that know how to use a debugger outside of an IDE.
People have a right to be called what they want

No. We can chose to make them happy when what they want is reasonable, but they have no right to force other people to use the name they want, specially when they abuse the legal system to create confusion and make a crime.

It's probably for the same reason that Node.js uses C++. Javascript is not understood natively by your hardware, so bindings are created to facilitate interaction between the programmer and lower level processes.
>> conflict is the most engaging kind of engagement

> This doesn't feel right. I ask myself, do I go places to look for people to fight with? Emphatically no. Do you? Probably not.

Most people are thrust with conflicts on TV. It may not have been their choice to go to, but that’s the fare available from most TV networks (especially the only fare on news and news related debates). World over, the networks know what attracts and addicts more eyeballs (it is conflict and frustration). Social networks also amplify these kinds of conversations. You may visit Twitter to just read some interesting piece of information from someone you admire or like, but the platform is built in a way to distract you over and over again into a deeper rabbit hole of conflict. It’s the same on other “engagement driven” business models too.

Name changes are governed by the states so laws vary. However speaking generally, people in the US have the right to change their name for whatever reason they see fit.

You have freedom of speech and don't have to abide by their request. This leads back to my original comment. It is a act of kindness to abide by people's wishes when it requires no extra effort on your part and actively refusing to do it is at best condescending.

I don't know who "you" is (perhaps you in particular are very gifted) or what you personally learned in college, but on my end in college I specifically took particular classes to learn topics that I had previously tried and failed to learn on my own, so, if it's meant to be generic, I'm pretty confident your claim is false.

> if two kids out of a billion make a childish mistake and it can't be forgotten, and they chose to commit suicide as a result, you've caused more harm than good.

In this hypothetical world where everyone knows everything about everyone else, I'd imagine that fewer people would go unnoticed (and untreated) for being at high-risk for suicide. Also, online bullies would have nowhere to hide, as they'd be exposed and stopped. And ultimately, the shame of everyone would either be too much for society to bear and it would crumble in on itself, or maybe we'd lose a little bit of our shame as we came to understand that we're all fallible creatures.

> Humans are able to organize into governments and make decisions and laws that limit some powerful people so that society is better overall.

You're right, I'm skeptical of concentrated power. If I'm wrong, and privacy in public is a good thing, then I'll at least hold on to my assertion that those who pass laws are not going to adhere to those laws when it becomes an obstacle to them remaining in power (whether governmental or corporate). The better choice is to widely distribute technology and information in order to level the playing field, rather than assuming that those in power won't continue to do whatever they please.

Those are just features of a single product (appengine) which has been around for more than a decade and through several generations. Every product under every cloud vendor has API and feature changes over the lifetime.

GCP has never had a major product line shutdown. The only thing that comes close is Google Maps API pricing changes, but technically the service is still there and has even more functionality.
macOS was based on NextStep. That said, there is a lot of shared code, and Apple is known to have provided code back to the FreeBSD project.
Sadly I think a number of atheists decided that an absence of religion meant that there was also an absence of morality, at least in any universal sense. Oddly that put them in agreement with the theists, even if neither realized it.

One of the benefits of religion as I see it is an establishment of a morality that rises above "that which is popular in the moment." Most people are too busy dealing with the minutiae of day-to-day living to sit back and ponder the philosophy of morality, and while some religions may hold unpalatable beliefs they at least have the virtue of being predictable as opposed to the temporary vagaries of the mob.

Ask HN: Was any OSS contributer ever sued?
I was thinking about Equifax's hack and the Struts 2 library that was apparently blamed for the incident.

I am wondering, are there any cases where on open-source contributor was ever sued by some corporation for damages, and if so, anything in particular we could do (apart from a LICENSE file) that can be used to mitigate such a scenario?

So, I would probably like, just lean roughly on the side of "yes".
Thanks for the link! I've opened it and will look at it in more detail.

Here it is for anyone reading this discussion:
https://www.ansible.com/

Basically the reason I created this rather than relying on something else is that I wanted an easy script that can setup a full production Web Server environment for PHP without any dependencies other than the minimum needed.

The script is completely free and open source any easy to change in case someone wants to use it for Laravel, Symfony, or something else. Most automation scripts are used to sell additional products like Ansible so this script avoids that.

Currently the script works on Ubuntu only but I will expand to RedHat and other OS's as time permits. Of course if anyone can help contribute I would gladly accept.
I really don't remember. CompuServe did have some content that you had to pay extra for, but that mostly came later, and I believe OAGEE was available at or very close to launch.
>>For every controversial tweet or tweet of drama, theres thousands of enriching conversations happening that could otherwise not occur.

> I don't believe that this actually happens. Definitely not on twitter anyway.

I believe that the GP has it reversed. I’d rephrase it in the other sense (what I see as reality) as:

“For every enriching conversation happening on Twitter, there are millions of controversial tweets or tweets of drama that occur and would anyway occur.”
Thanks for being candid but kind. I didn't mean to address US law or the US Constitution, but I'm curious what part struck you as wrong. That there is no right to privacy in public?
We delete comments and rename accounts for people every day. We just don't offer it wholesale. No one asks for help with that gets turned away, nor, I believe, has anyone gone away unsatisfied. Maybe I'm forgetting one or two.

We care a lot about individuals' need for privacy. We just need to balance it with the community's need to preserve its archive, and the right of repliers not to have the context of their comments pulled out from under them. We bend over backwards to get that right. For example, I have written custom code to help individual users with complex requests on several occasions.

I should probably add this to the FAQ.
>> A Linux distribution is a collection of tools written by different groups of people, often with conflicting interests and priorities.

>This is true! Especially for core bits of the system, like glibc and the kernel.

Come on, of course this is blatantly false. There is plenty of politics. I've experienced it first hand. FreeBSD developers are most definitively driven by some agenda other than the selfless "the common good".

>> there are no conflicting interests in the [FreeBSD] project

> Ha. ha. ha.

My point exactly !
What would be the point? The reason to use a BSD is the kernel. If you change the kernel to a linux kernel, there's no reason to use it over a Linux distribution.
Dedicated admin/clerical support for software projects sounds like a great idea, actually.
Show HN: Mapipedia: Platform to show your data on maps and sharing with others
Mapipedia is a web platform I've created to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated maps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites.

I initially posted about Mapipedia in March 2019. I've taken a lot of the feedback on board and done a major overhaul of the site as well adding a lot of new features.

I'd appreciate some feedback on overall look and feel (on mobile and desktop - there were problems on mobile previously). However it is best viewed in Chrome on desktops becuase it looks better on larger screens. I've also had some people say the website is blocked but have not been able to figure out why. If you have any thoughts on that it would be appreciated. The site also crashed last time I posted here so I'm wanting to test changes for robustness as well.

The main home page is https://mapipedia.com

I hear you on "Please don't. That sounds like a terrible idea and shows lack of trust/faith of parents in their kids. No one is pushed to suicidal ideation without a significant disruption in life."

and it really is about the individual - the maturity and age and situations. That's reason I think IF something like this was to be used, it would have variable keywords to pay attention to.. I know some parents that would lose their mind if they caught kids cussing.. and even though that is not allowed in our situation, I would not turn on a toggle to flag it..

In this particular situation, we have had some run-ins where there has been some indications that make the need for listening closely for suicidal type things something that is likely a good idea.. this child was in a really bad place for the first 6 years of life, then major disruptions several times since.
Have warnings from counselors to keep an eye out for certain indicators..
This in combination with physical and verbal bullying in multiple places and other things.. it's something we are trying to extend trust and space.. and keep an eye on things..
Like I said each situation is different, and I worry that people would use such tech in a way that really bothers me - I mean what if someone used it to determine sex keywords and they discovered an lgbt interest and went off the rails..

So it's tough to balance the thoughts on proper ways to consider use of such tech.

But I focus mainly on non-judgement, come and talk about anything, I suggest things or just listen, don't get mad, show multiple options for handling things, learn to check multiple sources, all that.

mom discovered porn url, flipped a bit - I calmed her down, it's not about punishing, it's about communication if needed and awareness when it's needed.

"Stick it with realistic statistics. You don't want them to become paranoid" - yes indeed! we need to also talk about the good, the positives of online chats and relations...

and then a middle ground of GF / BF you love and trust today could change one day and go the other direction.. but that is offline as much as online.. but be ware that if they got mad at you you wouldn't want them to have galleries of pics / videos that they won't delete if you ask them to and they no longer like you for example.

so many things, and situations vary immensely!
