I work in some other industry with some other software which is "our SAP"... and i look at it as "another IBM".

You have a bunch of smaller companies with different products, and whichever you pick, it will have some faults, missing features bugs, etc., and you'll the the one blamed for picking the "wrong" software.

...or you pick IBM/SAP/..., which is "de facto standard" in your {industry}, and whatever is wrong, is not your fault, but IBMs/SAPs/...s.
Fascinating. Curious about matrix multiplication and a “particular square shape”. I’m interested if you would care to elaborate on the matrix relationship.

Anyone know of similar projects for audio? Music within a genre tends to be similar enough that you ought to be able to upsample. I tried doing this once myself but got nowhere.
I'd say that SubSpace and its predecessors were the first "haiku-competitives" -- a lineage that eventually resulted in DotA and League of Legends.

Essentially: distill gameplay to a relatively small number of rules + iterate balance until it's incredibly finely tuned + let the playerbase go nuts with whatever strategies they can come up with.

The attraction being that they're easy to pick up (few rules to learn) but incredibly deep (complex interactions and strategies).

Coupled with the fact that circa-late-90s, the idea of an MMO was still mind blowing. Games with friends and strangers?!

From memory, SubSpace also had a fairly addictive loot mechanic (tiered materials, item construction, randomly timed rare enemy spawns).
Home climbing walls are awesome, but they can become stale, having a library of routes to choose helps you train more effectively, set better, and make the home climbing experience more fun.

https://semver.org/

'If you have a stable API on which users have come to depend, you should be 1.0.0. If you’re worrying a lot about backwards compatibility, you should probably already be 1.0.0.'

To a significant part of the community 1.0 means a stable API with considerations of backwards compatibility.

I know many people aren't using pure semver but the implications of a 1.0 have in my opinion extended beyond that point and beyond semver in general.
https://github.com/invl/retry works well for me. only problem is that logging issue that's still open i believe.

seems to me that the authors wrote their own library instead of trying to make the ones that didn't meet their need better. well, they never mentioned they tried...

anyways, some of their choices like that long variable name are odd to me. i can understand the unit problem though. golang solves that so nicely!
getcssscan is great, aren't extensions easy to pirate? that would be one concern of mine

After writing this yesterday I had an idea about stress testing, I had to test a few of my services in the past, but it has always been a combination of scripts and/or postman requests, it all feels very tedious, I saw there are already big SaaS players in the market, for example loader.io from sendgrid, but I feel like there is space for a simple tool, postman like, where I can just quickly configure some parameters and fire away from my machine...

If things go well and there is more demand for it, it can be integrated with a SaaS backing, WDYT?

I wanted to respond to just this statement:

For most of life we need permission to play. Parents allocate 'screen time'.

I don't disagree with your larger point but in my experience the limitation on screen time is an important protection of unstructured, self-directed play (especially for younger kids).
I think it's actually worse than "parroting" as described in the first few paragraphs: Back in highschool around 2005, I and a couple friends realized we could get passing grades in multiple-choice tests just by getting a sense of the teacher, and the style they'd use to invent the wrong answers. Didn't even need to parrot anything.
Regarding Erlang, yes early versions were implemented on top of Prolog and the heritage is there for sure. Joe Armstrong talked fondly about Prolog in later years as well. For example, he described Elixir’s beloved pipe operator like this:

> This is the recessive monadic gene of Prolog. The gene was dominant in Prolog, recessive in Erlang (son-of-prolog) but re-emerged in Elixir (son-of-son-of-prolog).

(He was referring to so-called definite clause grammars (DCG) in Prolog.)

I hope that with IoT we get some commoditization and standardization in this space. Though ARM doesn't give me much hope. I don't get why there couldn't be 1-2-3-5 standard architectures and 10-20-50-100 hardware configurations that cover the full spectrum of embedded configurations.

We've had 32 bit x86 CPUs since 1985, surely we could produce a 100Mhz one for cheap enough that nobody would need to use 8 bit ones in 2020? I know that I'm just daydreaming and companies are stingy...

Awesome :).
Stamets has been doing tests with beekeepers, having them give some of their hives sugar water with 1% (maybe lower) mycelium extract, which he says contains antiviral and antimicrobial properties. I think he’s testing extracts from a number of species too. Anyway, he says the results are great—IIRC none of the hives given extract collapsed.

That said, I haven’t heard anything about him bringing this to market, which is frustrating. I’d rather rely on strengthening an eons-old symbiosis than a newly-engineered bacteria. EDIT: see my other comment, this should be selling later this year,
I very much agree ;) But I think a lot of hosting is still provided via commodity cloud architecture. Whether its truly decentralized under stress remains to be tested.

There was a flurry of articles in Summer 2018 about how FOSTA was encouraging sex workers to use Switter and Bitcoin. I think they are probably still using Twitter / Instagram / CashApp instead. In lieu of outside oppressive pressure, most folks won't have a compelling reason other than ethics.

And therein lies the rub. These platforms need to get easier for regular people to use. You could even imagine a broker service, where you just hit submit on a piece of digital content, its data type is detected automatically, and its stored on the appropriate service. You are returned a persistent URL that can be embedded anywhere. And you earn revenue for content consumed and / or compute resources provided. Like providing liquidity to an exchange.
Way cool.

Traditional mortgage lending is actually a great example of 'adapt the business to the process'. Whereas you used to have local branch managers approving mortgages who knew their customers, now you have a credit score (and a thousand other metrics) and the job of the people in the branch/on the phone is to help their customers tailor their mortgage applications to meet the computer's requirements. It's literally the reverse of how it used to work.
wc running slower seems wrong. I wonder if it's doing additional sanitising because your LANG differs from your LC_ALL. I'd need to read through the code to get a handle on what it does and doesn't expect though but I definitely wouldn't expect wc to run slower.
It is because schools have a different goal than we expect. We expect them to teach, and especially help people understand problems.

They do not exists to teach. They exist to cram bare minimum of skills and knowledge so one can work. It is even worse in post-communist countries where schools actively hammer you down to the common level.
ERPNext (GPL V3, https://github.com/frappe/erpnext) is being deployed by many large companies as we speak. India's largest Stock Broker Zerodha (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B6nfq1UR3Y) and biggest Listed Company (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnoWwSBDQlI) are actively using ERPNext.

So, where do we exactly draw the line with these things?
Considering everything you see on media has been altered in some ways. To me it looks like the same problem as "fake news", how do you define "fake news" considering every piece of news has at least some bias from the person that wrote it.

I think it would be a better idea to educate people about these things, just like when "Photoshop" and other similar software started to pick up, a lot of people started creating "fake images", nowadays I feel like most people are aware that you cannot trust a picture, because they can be so easily edited.
I am so interested in this, but there are so many things I don't understand.

I wonder.... is there a service (Maybe a chrome extension) that lets you ask questions on the page you are in? For example, I want to highlight:

`btrfs-progs` and ask... "What is a quick summary about this package?

`ship a new enough version of util-linux` and ask.... "What features in the new util-linux allows this to work?"

Then maybe someone who also visits this page with more knowledge can answer my questions.

This tool would augment my learning 10x and I would be a paying customer. Does something like this exist?
You're not wrong. I just think there's enough difference that the analogy doesn't really work.

The problem is if they have some renters at the high price it is better to say they have tenants coming (even though they never arrive) than rent for cheaper and risk the old tenants find out the price is lower and they demand a reduced rate. Now add in a bank who is auditing your books: if you have some empty units "almost rented" that looks better than full units but you are not making enough on rent to pay the mortgage - even though either way you are not making enough in rent to pay the bills.

Actually no.

So we're doing a couple of things that strictly speaking are AI. Firstly the speech synth is powered by Google's Deep Mind which is obviously AI, but there is also a bayesian classifier which is looking at a set of variables and then using those to classify and select which acoustic properties it will apply to request a set of songs might be correct for the current context. As you like or dislike music it will alter the weightings used.

In order to do discovery we're also making use of collaborative filtering to get a sense of what artists you'd like based on how your profile sits against the super set of all similar users.

It might not be the worlds most complex AI but this application does make use of it. While there is plenty of recursion, not a single math.random is used anywhere.
I have perfect eyesight and I have to say that I'm very happy dark mode has become more popular. Light mode straight up hurts my eyes, even with the screen brightness turned down, and even in an already fairly bright environment. It seems totally obvious that there are people who benefit from both options, so the fact it took as long as it did for this trend to become more commonplace is really odd to me.

But any integrated system would do this. It isn’t unique to SAP.
You might want to make 'message-text' have relative positioning, and 'range-display' absolutely positioned so 'ignition' or 'bonfire' isn't hovering over the text box.
In the late 90s (say, 97-98), I was a partner in a custom software firm focused on helping companies use "Internet technologies" internally -- early intranets, delivering things via the browser, that sort of thing. It was novel at the time, and we could make money doing it! Wheee!

Anyway, we needed to integrate with SAP on occasion, partly because one of our biggest clients was in the middle of a HUGE SAP rollout, employing a small army of Arthur Andersen MBAs, etc.

So I went to the SAP technical education conference in Atlanta, to gather info and whatnot. I heard Hasso Platner brag from the stage in the keynote that complaints about SAP's complexity and expense were entirely overblown because "80% of our implementations now take less than 18 months, and come in under $100 million."

Y I K E S.

(Oh, and the company with the SAP rollout we were working with? Eventually, the combined cancer of SAP and AA billing destabilized them enough that agreed to be acquired by their biggest competitor. Yay SAP!)

My first impressions of Rust: A review
From personal experience, under correct lightning, there is no issue with light mode.

But when the external lightning is bad (too high/low), dark mode is easier on the eyes.

The only exception, is when i got 3 screen, and one is in light mod, and 2 other in dark mode. It just hurt.

> If you look at speeches or interviews from the 30s or the 40s, in French or English, the quality of the spoken language is significantly better than today... And if you look at XVIII french literature

There's probably some selection bias there. I'm not disagreeing there might have been a reduction in vocabulary, etc, but we tend to see older (usage) words as more erudite as well.

Compare the vocabulary/grammar on social media with current newspapers or a book and there's a big difference as well.
It's all about the area. I have friends who moved to Chandler AZ and rented an entire single floor house with 2 car garage, 2br and in ground pool for $800 month. That was 5-6 years ago but way more affordable than the 1600+ in NYC for a 2br apartment.
> operation will just panic at runtime if the array is too short

Exactly, rust doesn't provide a good solution to this problem at all. Panics in rust are an escape hatch used to ensure the language stays "safe" in situations where the compiler can not prove a given behaviour at compile time, but where it would have made the language too ugly if you had to wire through Result types for all the trivial operations like adding two numbers.

In my experience, panics in rust have been a major source of pain. In contrast to an exception, which you can catch, a panic behaves more like an abort. At least it has been that way in the past. Now, with a lot of libraries using panics to signalize runtime errors, coding in rust has at some times felt like I was using a bunch of badly written C libraries that internally call "abort()" and kill the process when something goes wrong that would have been totally handle-able without killing the whole process. That's the benefit of using a safe language, right?

I think lately the rust "community" has become aware of this issue and IMO the way things are going is that that panics, as they are designed, should basically not be used. But, without proper exceptions, that brings you back to the situation where an operation as trivial as adding two numbers either produces a return code that must be explicitly checked or may silently fail and produce an "undefined" result in some cases.

This is more of a reply to your child comment about Pixel sales, but because this is a day old and unlikely to get any attention or replies as is. I’m posting this here:

I’ll prob geek out and look this up later. I’d be interested in the difference of products in their categories between the major tech companies:

Google:
Pixel, Nest, Google Home, Chrome stick

Microsoft:
Xbox, Surface tablets/laptops, upcoming Surface phone

Amazon:
Ring doorbell, Ring’s other stuff, Alexa Echo/Dot, all the other Alexa devices, Fire tablets, Fire stick

Facebook:
Portal, Oculus

Just to throw Apple in here outside their core: HomePod, ?

I’m sure I’m missing some things. Perhaps a company or two as well. Anyone know of anything else or something I wrote down wrong?

There’s also differences between market share and profitability/losses. Apple makes money with [almost] all hardware. While I think Alexa devices don’t make a profit though seem pretty dominant.
> Every embedded/kernel/driver developer know what they are doing.

Yet we still see security issues in all of those. I'm not saying that everything should be re-written in a different language, but C developers saying "I'm a good developer, all those safety mechanisms would hold me back" doesn't hold water considering all the security vulnerabilities we see that would have been prevented if they had used a language with better safeguards.
Right. And it makes some things worse. In the original the lady who runs across at about :27, you can make our her nose and mouth (barely). Her again in the upscaled version at :38 (it's hard to stop it at the exact same spot), she is virtually featureless.

There's the third sort of allocation that's often used in embedded systems - preallocated buffers, which are neither stack nor heap but set up by the .bss section of the executable.

> I have a site that gets about 30k pageviews per month; I threw ads on it just to see what would happen. It makes something like $12/month

This seemed surprisingly low to me, so I did a little Googling.

https://blog.adstage.io/google-display-ads-cpm-cpc-ctr-bench...

> In Q1 2018, [AdWords] advertisers paid $2.8 dollars per thousand impressions

So for a site with 30K monthly page-views, I'd expect something closer to $84 per month with one ad per page. Place an ad on both the top and bottom of each page, and now it's $168 per month. Still not a ton by any stretch, but an extra 2K in income each year is nothing to sneeze at.
Ask HN: Yet Another Devops Newsletter?

> I think it would be a better idea to educate people about these things

This argument is nonsense an innefective. Try and explain to your elders about what a deep fake is, and how to identify one.

The movie : "The Irishman" used a lot of the technology successfully to take years off the cast.

Applying labels to known false media is not the same as an opinion based 'fact' or alternative facts.

So don't come with this absolute strawman point of : "Ooo where is the line." - The line is at fake. Always has been. Whats been blurred is the idea that Facts are not Facts.

They are. An opinion is not a fact. A deepFake is Fake. Hence the name. And its about time people grew up and used their intelligence to realise whats a FACT and whats not a FACT. Whats real and whats fake.

It's a shame its up to companies like Twitter to do this for everyone, but clearly too many people believe everything they see & hear without question.
