I tend to agree with you here -- reliability has been a non-issue for me, though I've never configured `btrfs` in its RAID configuration.

Performance becomes an issue in certain cases, but in every one that I've encountered, adjusting configuration has resolved the problems to my satisfaction.

Would my Windows 10 VM run better under a different filesystem, rather than `btrfs` with various tweaks applied? Reading relatively recent articles on the subject would suggest that it would, however, I'd rather work with a single filesystem type and understand its strengths/weaknesses than manage two different filesystems as long as I can get performance to a usable state.
As someone who developed diagnostic support for several skin conditions, black skin is just plainly more difficult to classify in most cases. The reason for that is indeed partly due to lacking training data, but also to a large part because black skin reflects less light.

If you are in northern Europe, good luck finding a black woman who has psoriasis, which is much less common for black people. White people have magnitudes of higher risks here. Vitiligo on the other hand is trivial to detect on black skin, not always that easy on white skin.

Vitiligo is completely harmless and not a health threat. But since Ebola can have similar looking symptoms, there is stigmatization of people suffering from it in regions where Ebola is still prevalent. These are actual problems that need fixing.

The real ethical minefield in my opinion is reducing individual cases to numbers within any AI model. And elevating current AI technology, which I would classify as very dumb, is part of that problem.

No, the danger of AI probably lies in small specialized agents trying to classify people within their restricted model of reality. That is already reality in banks, were every customer has some form of performance score to determine credit worthiness. A score every bank employee has adhere to and is not allowed to use own judgement.

As I said, the software I developed was diagnostic support, not diagnostic. The medical sector seems to have a more mature approach to AI than finance. So if the software fails, there is still a doctor.
I lived in a 1 bathroom house until I was 18 with up to 4 other people and I honestly don't remember there being many problems - apart from occasionally having to chip ice out of the bath before getting washed :-)
I would attribute that more to cars than deer. If oppossums and groundhogs were deer-sized and agile enough to dart in front of vehicles, would we track groundhog-related fatalities?
> when managing hundreds of instances of machines

Well there's the rub. Most developers aren't going to manage hundreds of machines. My current company has thousands of customers, over a hundred employees, and makes tens of millions in profit. We've got two dozen servers (VMs) and obviously less than that in actual machines.

The scale at which you need hundreds of instances is probably when it does make sense to use something like Docker.
Speaking of excellent documentation, from the documentation you can jump right into the code and see how a particular elixir function is implemented. Super useful personally for me as a learner. For example , go to https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Enum.html#map/2 and click on the little "<\>" on the top-right

> No one has said to ignore optimization

Well, maybe nobody is _saying_ that (Knuth definitely wasn’t) but, as the author points out, this is how a lot of applications of the “premature optimization is the root of all evil” rule end up: any discussion of optimization if forbidden as premature until it’s too late to fix the problems and then it’s “good enough” because we “have to get to market”.
Yes. But I live in Portugal now and I don't want to speak like a Brazilian. I want to speak like a European Portuguese person. Duolingo should clearly label their "Portuguese" as "Brazilian Portuguese" as the pronunciation differences between the languages are massive and there are grammar and vocabulary differences.
From my perspective, apartments and homes are rising in value at roughly the same rate, so I could trade in a flat in the center for a home in the suburbs later on if I so wished.

I figure at that point I'd have more of an idea about where I'd want my theoretical family (that I'm not even planning at the moment) to live, plus a partner with you know, desires and opinions and stuff ;)
My cat is weirdly smart and he will play fetch. He's really good at figuring out whatever new "game" I'm trying to play with him. Some more examples of his social intelligence:

- He will play tricks on me. He's learned to paw at the patio door to show that he wants to be let outside. If I'm standing outside and he's inside the patio door, he will paw at the door as if he wants to be let out, and then run away as soon as I open the door. He will do this over and over and turn it into a game.

- He's VERY vocal and has some understanding of how a conversation works - I talk, then you talk. I only realized this because he hates car rides, and this is the only time he interrupts me.

- He's really good at understanding tone and body language, so usually he can figure out what I'm trying to tell him to do, even if it's a new situation using new words. For example, I was outside while he was playing, and a neighbor walked up to say hello. I told him "it's ok, you can go say hi" and he walked up to her and sniffed her hand.

It's really weird, I knew cats were intelligent but I had no idea until I got this cat.
I use Duolingo for Portuguese and I would highly recommend sticking as much to desktop as possible, given that it requires you to work more at the exercises than on mobile. Better for ingraining concepts in your head.

Duolingo, along with other resources, gave me a great foundation for when I added Italki and started talking to Brazilians in Portuguese for 30-60 chunks of time. I probably should have started Italki ("out loud" conversations sooner), but Duolingo's Portuguese tree definitely gave me a great start on vocab and all the different grammar types (subjunctive in Portuguese is intense!).
Kudos for reinventing WebAuthn.
I have the Toto Drake II line and they all combine a self-cleaning design with some sort of non-stock coating which they say lasts forever as long as you keep away from harsh cleaner compounds and only use the nylon bristle brushes. But who knows what the previous inhabitants used in your case.

I replaced the first one in 2015 and haven’t had any issues yet.

Pro-tip: the actual first thing I do when any family members or myself move into a new home or apartment is install a kitchen side spray in the bathroom as a hand-held “point and shoot” bidet. Those can be used to quickly clean in a contact-free way.

Indeed there are, but you don't to re-run the Python code expressing the model to do that. You build the model once, then tweak the numbers in the constraints and weights.
Even just setting up a new laptop it's a win. I could develop across my laptop, office pc, chromebook and home pc with a project and the only dependencies to keep up to date are docker and git pull/push.
... and this is the point of that phrase you quoted you completely skimmed and missed MASTER.

English is easy to understand, hard to master. Here's an example especially with American Stress.

Imagine that each capitalized word is stressed, this changes the meaning of the sentence.

I did not say he stole the money.
i DID not say he stole the money.
i did NOT say he stole the money.
i did not SAY he stole the money.
i did not say HE stole the money.
i did not say he STOLE the money.
i did not say he stole THE money.
i did not say he stole the MONEY.

These mean different things.

Outside of the stress, there are different words for things which depends on the context. poop, fecal matter, feces, shit, stool, poo, manure, dung, droppings, excrement, etc.

Chinese and Arabic are different. They are different because of the written form. Folks feel the same about Japanese, till they see it written out with roman letters. Chinese is tough for English speakers because of the tones, but not for those coming from a tonal language. English is hard for those coming from a tonal language, but not those coming from a stressed and intonation based singing language.
Ask HN: Best UX alternatives to pagination anti-patterns?
Trying to allow users to rifle through pages of a collection without the typical UX pagination anti-pattern.

Purported anti-pattern: `<< Prev 1 2 3 ... 11 13 14 ... 88 89 90 Next >>`

What are some best-practice alternatives? Search? Filtering? Other kinds of pagination? Examples / links appreciated as well.
I've been searching for RPi's in this formfactor and with protected I/O for a while. Besides your product I found some others but all suffer from the same drawback (for me at least), which is the price. I can understand there is some extra cost involved in the certification of these devices, eMMC and such. Most industry customers will probably find the price resonable even. But for me as hobbyist I can't justify it to myself if I could buy a handful of 'normal' pi's instead (solving the DIN mounting problem using zip ties).

Do you think your company might develop a non-industrial line for hobbyists which could bring the price more into the range of sub $100?

Proximity matters. If I have a basketball court in my house, I'm going to want to have a little locker-room/bathroom off of it so that I (and my guests) don't have to trek to the bathroom in the main hall. If I have a 10-car climate-controlled garage with lounge where I hang out and show off my Ferrari collection, same thing. If I have an amazing pool that all of my kids' friends want to use, I'm going to want them to use the bathroom with the outdoor entrance so they aren't tracking water in the house.

These aren't small houses.

QT is finally understanding their pricing was totally wrong.
>From February onward, everyone, including open-source Qt users, will require valid Qt accounts to download Qt binary packages.

Hopefully this doesn't include redistributed binaries. I really do like KDE.
> Also Windows Defender is fairly non-intrusive

Microsoft and antivirus vendors have very different goals. Microsoft wants to quietly protect your computer without making a big deal out of viruses, while antivirus vendors always want to let you know that they're hard at work protecting you and that the world is a dangerous place so keep giving them money(or in the case of free versions, keep it installed so they can keep vacuuming that data).
IIUC, porn is used as an example to highlight that these are very personal details that are being sold, and porn preferences are things people often fear more of leaking than - for example - their financial data.

John Oliver, in his work on the NSA scandal had Snowden explain individual NSA programs based on "dick picks", to help people visualize and clarify the consequences of what otherwise is just generically described as "selling/stealing your data".

I've often felt that antivirus software is like the rock that keeps the tigers away. I haven't used it since the AOL days, and that's also the last time I was actually hit with Malware (something from Kazaa I would guess.)

It's also worth noting that every corporate IT department I've ever seen installs antivirus software on employee machines, so it must be good for something? I'm curious what the actual statistics are for caught viruses.
Does there exist a CentOS equivalent of Qt?
Caveat: I don't use RAID[0].

In about 4 years of running it on a couple of servers and countless virtuals/desktops, I've never had a reliability issue that was directly related to btrfs. I do not have my servers plugged in to UPSes, I have the occasional "shutdown due to power loss". The only time I've lost data has been due to cable disconnection in my hardware RAID array, and even then I was able to recover a substantial amount of its `btrfs` stored files.

[0] Well, not filesystem-provided RAID; I have LSI controllers that provide the array to the OS as a single disk.
Adding a number of DisplayPort ports would be nice too.
It's more insidious than that, IMO. We've created a culture where severe bugs impacting your customers are OK, even expected. Developers don't try very hard to preemptively stomp bugs, because there's no pressure for doing so.

I'm a bit old fashioned in this regard, but I'd prefer that we didn't accept that "bugs in production happen" as normal and instead treat the bugs as a failure of process.
I think the ship has sailed on better toilets in America, unfortunately. A big part of the problem is just that the standard waste pipe is too small AIUI.

Even small clusters with K8s operators doing complex work (e.g.: autoscaling) can generate a lot of etcd traffic updating state. I'm not sure how (etcd) stateless Istio and other meshes are, too.
No, he means you're confused about the need for a pre nup. Creditors do not have rights to the separate assets of a spouse for pre material debts even without a pre nup.
I think it doesn't affect not-yet-open restaurants nearly as badly as existing restaurant owners. NRA doesn't represent the restaurant market as a whole it represents a % of restaurant owners that currently exist.

Restaurant workers are, of course, going to be fairly indifferent to restaurant bankruptcies especially if an existing restaurant is swiftly replaced by a new one that pays more.
Duolingo in a nutshell... the complete gamification of language learning...You don’t actually have to learn anything as long as you “feel” like you’re doing something.

> Anything that gets people interested in languages is a good thing.

Whatever. If you want to really commit to learning a language for some reason, that is fine and great and there are now countless resources to do so, getting language partners is easier than ever... but it’s not a moral imperative, and if you’re just spending time on activities that have no hope of leading to fluency it really is just a mastubatory exercise (albeit one that is more appropriate to talk about in mixed company), or basically a game... which there is also nothing wrong with!! I masturbate.. but then again I don’t lord it over everyone as some moral imperative.
We have one bathroom for the four of us, and I’ve never had a particular desire for more. That’s just extra toilets and showers to clean and extra pipes to leak. No thanks.
The elevator needs to support less total weight if you use a longer arm to generate the balancing torque?
In no way can this explain any of the complexity of life, but, I found the DNA walk graphs very fascinating to look at anyway. You assign a direction to each letter (a=up, c=down, g=left, t=right) and plot pixels in a sequence.

For example: https://academic.oup.com/view-large/figure/139941708/bty1021...

There was also a partly functioning interactive at http://www.g-language.org/g3/ (click on DNA walk tab) and zoom in.
Well everyone at least wants to use Kubernetes. I'm not sure any organization really knows how to best use it yet, and nobody has a set of standards that have seen adoption.

Both the pro and the con of K8s is that it's exactly what you make of it and it's extremely flexible.

It's the default on recent Synology NAS, in my experience. No particular issue in my limited experience. Mostly transparent for the user.
Due to Zipf's law of words frequency there is only so much irregularity a language can handle. And English is not special in this regard.

Irregularities are not hard to master, it is one of the easiest things actually, it's rote memorization. For someone whose native language is without articles it would be a struggle to learn a language with them for the first time. Or, for an English native speaker it would be really hard to learn how to construct naturally-sounding Japanese sentences.

If instead of being concerned with articles, tenses, relative clause positioning, noun-verb argreement, topic and focus expression, morphosyntactic alignment, negative coordination, discourse markers, grammatical mood, grammatical genders / noun classes, coverbs, preverbs, measure words, etc you are being concerned with how to pronounce read, it means you learn an easy language (for you), because, probably, your native language shares lots of features with English.
Plenty of companies:

a) do not want to give people/scripts access to the machine.

b) do not want to employ a bunch of people whose sole purpose is to manage these machines.

Being able to provision (for instance) an Openshift project in a click to deploy docker containers solves those problems.

Yes, those are not problems that a startup or a small business has, but these are problems that all large enterprises with sensitive data have.

Docker is a standard that anyone knows. Is it the best standard? Who knows, but it is a platform and a standard that has built an ecosystem. That fact alone will make it better than any product or custom-built deployment solution that has to be maintained by a team of engineers.
I don't think that Qt is unavailable in CentOS.
We regularly call out random browser extensions doing the same thing, it's not sensationalized to call out a top 10 manufacturer in the "security" space on this behaviour. Anonymization of search histories has, time and time again, been shown to be largely ineffective.

https://www.avast.com/eula does not mention Jumpshot and grepping around does not indicate any sensible anonymization and aggregation efforts, just the default legalese whereas the demo video on https://www.jumpshot.com/solutions/industry/retail leads me to believe that while they might not tie histories to a single user, they show statistics like "XX% of users shopping at A, went on to buy at B" which indicates at least some level of unaggregated data / tracking.

If the Vice article is to be believed, that's certainly enough to at least raise an eyebrow. The opt-in the article talks about is likely to be an underspecified mess that's intended to decieve the user, this functionality has simply no place in an AV package. Let's not act like it's hard to get users to press a shiny green button these days. That might be found GDPR compliant in court, it's still not morally right.

There is an attribute called NOCOW that can be set on specific files that should not be copy-on-write, which is what messes with databases, filesystem images and other things that needs fast in-place updates.

> make your existing code faster by sacrificing readability.

I've seen slow code, and I've seen fast code, and I can't say that I've ever noticed any significant difference in "readability". If anything, the faster design choices are easier to read because they make more sense: I can understand why the original author did what he did.
I notice that once you're invested, time and effort wise, in doing something one way, and it works, the general unwillingness to learn different or newer ways of doing the same things increases rapidly. Overcoming such prejudice requires understanding and accepting the incentives for further investing time and effort to accustom with newer technology.

Use-case driven technology fit is just one incentive. There are other incentives like resume enhancement, participation in communities where there is rapid development, FOMO / fear of being a dinosaur, the reputation of being known as someone well versed with the latest technologies, monetization via online courses/tutorials. These are just a few I could think of, I'm sure there are more.

In my relatively short career, I saw this playing out with NoSql databases, microservices architecture, SPA (AngularJS), NodeJS, responsive websites, blockchain and more recently, ReactJS, data-science (AI/ML) and containerization.

Each one of these, at some point or the other, have been used in cases where the problem space was completely solvable without using said technology but was introduced for some other incentive.

Say what you will but this rapid change is what makes and keeps this space moving, interesting, inspiring and well-paying.
funny, i said the same thing before but it came off wrong and people didn't get it or something. i only run windows defender too, not because it's efficient -- i don't know, i have never seen it catch anything -- but because it's the less sketchy of the bunch!
This would be totally do-able.

The change would be fairly invasive inside the Blink/Webkit rendering engine if you wanted to support both physically aware and non-physically aware blending simultaneously in the same compositing layer (I suspect you'd have to split everything into multiple GPU surfaces - one for physical blending, one for 'wrong' blending, and more if any of those objects are interleaved in zIndex - that might use a lot of RAM in some cases).

A per-page blending mode would probably be easy to implement.
Counter to that, I live in the DC suburbs, where housing tends to be from the mid-1970s or newer. The house I grew up in was a "standard" colonial (1800swft 4 and a door) with 2.5 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms. The first home I owned was similar. My current townhome is 3 beds with 2.5 baths.

In all cases, we could have done without 1 of the full baths, or the half-bath, without problem. The extra was purely convenience (but appreciated growing up with a sister who could take some time getting ready).
