The more you worry about format, the more friction there is making to making notes. And you don't want friction, you want a sustainable habit.

Just dump stuff in. You'll figure out something that works over time. It's easy to get bogged down with meta-issues like infrastructure and custom Emacs macros and automatic replication and other yak-shaving nonsense that only adds complexity, which increases the likelihood that you'll drop the habit.
We have no first hand accounts from Jesus himself. We have a couple of first hand accounts from followers. Most of them don't reconcile with each other very well. And even if they did, humans have a long history of collectively believing and participating in supernatural bullshit.

Lots of people have claimed to be god. Some are even widely recognized as good people. Do we need to give them all our attention? Cause I'm pretty content living my life without believing in wild fairy tales.

Is this propaganda? What is untrue?

Singapore has the highest official numbers of cases outside China apart from Japan (but that's because of their cruise ship situation) and the situation is clearly not under control according to official news report.

The latest report from Singapore is indeed local transmission including a case that had no known contact with other known cases.

Third case in the UK is from someone who visited Singapore.

New cases in France are from someone who visited Singapore.

I'm not trying to make people panic but, reasonably, the same restrictions to travels as China should apply to Singapore at the time being.

Can I do server side stuff with it too? If so I have some great uses for it
What aspect of the project are you referring to when you say "someone who knows why". I would imagine everyone on the team should know the "why".

How about, a Sr. Software Engineer is someone who can work on, whatever technical problem your team is trying to solve, with little to no supervision. They can also be expected to occasionally provide technical direction/assistance to others on their team.

Within that title you can always set grades to allow for progression in salary and experience. Sr. Software Engineer II or III and so on.
Because Twitter is replacing actual situation reports compiled by the international body, the WHO, formed especially for cases like that. Also, the WHO is staffed by experts in that field. How are the people on Twitter measuring up to that? In terms of qualifications and resources?
Math aside, this highlights that the core problem is people. Too many people. The solution to a lot of the “worlds problems” is less people. A Thanos-style snap would be great for humanity if it was possible.
I never said your disk was full with logs.

> how pray tell will I troubleshoot my programs running on Lambda or Fargate?

That is indeed a big problem running on Lambda and Fargate.

In my experience, Fargate isn't very commonly used and Lambda is used for only relatively simple things.
Seems good for managing yourself, but what are you all using to collaborate with your colleagues. For example I want my team to be able to assign me tasks (I'm CEO). Right now they do that in Asana.
This is all because of the cruise ship.

I just wish Notepad would get those minimal quality-of-life features that are expected from even the most basic text editors. Like wrap-around search - every time I open a logfile in notepad, the lack of basic wrap-around search bites me.
Thank you for sharing. Your experience has similarities to mine.
I just checked it out again, and it doesn't seem to support the Files API, only syncs with iCloud. Same with the app "txt".

That's annoying, because my default sync service is OneDrive, and iOS generally supports it very well.
The same is true in Boston, most founders look to bootstrap through the seed rounds.
There was an article a few days ago about a software backdoor built by a different company that was unrelated to the actual silicon. Is this the same vulnerability, or is this one actually implemented in silicon?
I don't have a particularly good explanation for those specific choices, but I did notice that they resulted in somewhat similar sample sizes across all three bins, so it might just have been that.
Why not? that's how google desktop search used to work.
That sounds quite elegant, but seems this is only possible if you work out of a single machine almost always. Perhaps it could be made into a service? As long as explicit effort is taken that there's absolute minimum extra effort as possible!

I was mislead by the title. "unknown genes" would have clued me in but I interpreted "no recognizable genes" completely differently.
Yes, I read the whole thing when it came out years ago. I remain thoroughly unconvinced. Back when this study came out, pop-sci magazines and websites reported it uncritically. But it was also a much less cynical time, before the reproducibility crisis really took hold.

Aside from the blatant and unapologetic p-hacking, there are some other flaws of data gathering and analysis that make their conclusions dubious. For example, note that your first paragraph above seems to admit that the actual presence of direct sunlight was not recorded in the raw data. They only figure in a statistical inference based on average hours of sun in a locale.

Rather than copy-pasting myself, here's a better critique from 2014 with good explanations of the study's problems:

You are not supposed to upload pictures showing non-users. Facebook upload wizard clearly tells you that.
It is similar, but has some unique characteristics that make it interesting (and to me, compelling). The primary one is easy, automatic, and fast bidirectional linking. The other that comes to mind is the lack of a hierarchical organizational structure; there’s no thinking about “what bullet does this new thing need to be indented under” when compared to WorkFlowy.

If you’re a fan of WorkFlowy I recommend checking it out; I suspect there’s a good chance it will resonate with you.
Ah, thats the exact model Leuchtturm I have.
I read it the other way around. If BigCash, co. advertises “we securitize your growth - get free money to grow based on your business metrics!’, and you’re a startup founder - would you be interested, or would you say “nah, I think I’ll just do another round”?

OTOH I’m not sure I understood it well :D
Amsterdam Subversive Center for Information Interchange (ASCII)

It was a group of squatters, hackers, anti authoritarians, non-conformists and anarchists. They proselytised Linux and GNU software. I only visited some of their courses, pretty basic stuff where they would teach about Linux usage, HTML & CSS, some basic programming, etc. The audience was always a motley of social classes and skill sets. The actual members seemed mostly Italian and German (pretty strongly represented in the Amsterdam squatting scene, as I understand it). They were real deal squatters, evac fights with SWAT teams and all. Big fans of XS4ALL (the first dutch consumer ISP, and legendary for its true hacker spirit).

The workshops would always be in these random squats. You'd have to knock on some nondescript reinforced steel door, say a password, walk through 3 floors of rubble, to emerge in a ramshackle room somewhere and learn about memory management in C for 2 hours. It was quite an experience.

I thought these guys were the "real deal" hackers, though looking back it was perhaps a bit form over function. But their dedication to individual agency and resisting authority is something I will never forget.

They shut down in 2006, apparently. RIP.

Western scientific entities aren’t allowed in China to study or collect data (to my knowledge). WHO/CDC/John Hopkins...etc are making analysis on CCP provided numbers. with the CCP numbers historically have not been accurate, with CCP trying to save face.

I helped form the NeXT user’s group at BYU in the early 1990’s. I was the NeXT campus consultant. IIRC we hade 15-25 people who met, I want to say weekly. Wednesday evenings I think. I was involved for two years, until I graduated.

The nice thing about our user’s group is that it drew both students and faculties, NeXT building fairly powerful workstations.

My primary role was to be the “crazy NeXT rumors guy” before John Moltz made that an internet thing. I would spend five or ten minutes every meeting providing comedic relief, talking about funny things NeXT would never ever do (warp drive, Bill Gates Terminator drones) plus one thing that I knew fairly certainly that they were actually doing. I would make members guess which rumor was actually true (which wasn’t all that hard).
My issue with Google Tasks is that notifications don't stay on the screen until I dismiss them. That kills it for me.
Not just Windows itself, but a lot of software and tooling. If I'm working on my website, I have an entry in my hosts file so battlepenguin goes to a local web server. But I have to type it in with the leading http:// and end with a slash, or else Firefox might automatically add a .com to the end and suddenly it's going to my production/live site and not my local copy.

Some issues might have to do with the way DNS is resolved by the operating system (the Start > Run \\resource example in the article) and others by the way some applications (like web browsers) do fallbacks for unknown DNS records.

Tangential: I worked at one company that had lower environments end in .dev and they started running into issues when Google purchased (and now sells) .dev domains and one of their project dependencies was hosted in an open source project repo that ended in .dev .. it had fallen out of use at the company and they just trashed the hosted zone, but I imagine at other shops, there's still domain overlap in the wild.

I come to HN for the comments. You don't disappoint. I'm glad we have multiple people whom thinking critically enough about a publication to demystify it.

Nate says it's simply primal. Eldritch talked about the cognitive bias. Etc, etc. thanks for the critical thinking!! keep up the great work!
Maybe you should have started with that, rather than anecdotal evidence. I agree as a case study of potential p-hacking, it's pretty illustrative. Not sure if it's failed p-hacking though. For example -

High school students, but did make it into a journal ..

Dogs excreted with the body aligned along the North–South axis, but when exposed to small bar magnets, significantly changed their directional positions. The study suggests that dogs are able to recognize MF.

Additional value of this research is that the data were collected by local high school students, which required collaboration with teachers and their parents. We think that this idea has great potential and can be developed at a global scale and to become a citizen-science project involving other high school pupils and their families.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S15587...

Dogs can be trained to find a bar magnet

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6301327/

We excluded visual cues and used control trials with food treats to test for the role of olfaction in finding the magnet. While 13 out of 16 dogs detected the magnet significantly above chance level (53–73% success rate), none of the dogs managed to do so in finding the food treat (23–40% success rate). In a replication of the experiment under strictly blinded conditions five out of six dogs detected the magnet above chance level (53–63% success rate). These experiments support the existence of a magnetic sense in domestic dogs. Whether the sense enables dogs to perceive MFs as weak as the Earth’s MF, if they use it for orientation, and by which mechanism the fields are perceived remain open questions.

So maybe there is some value in p-hacking, when taken with an appropriate grain of salt? The problem is science journalism and its readers often don't know how to do that.
So all the youtubers arw able to counter proof them with videos people in other countries, without any relevant medical expertise, are analysing. Great. Now tell me, how exactly are the youtubers and people on Twitter getting the "true" numbers if China is censoring everything? And why do you refuse to accept that the Chinese figures do align pretty well with numbers from other countries? Or do the Chinese and the WHO conspire with all other governments as well to keep the "truth" hidden?
They did the throttling without any dialogs in the beginning. In the very next point release of iOS, that evolved into a battery health control panel where you can see the health of your battery, and it alerts you if it’s being throttled.

I don’t know why this is so hard to understand: their initial response was wrong, but they corrected it. Everyone who says “why didn’t they do X” is ignoring that they did the right thing, eventually.

Implementing the battery control panel the first time would have been the best route, but developing such a thing takes time, and with sudden shutdowns happening for a large percentage of customers, they did a stopgap that was questionable. Is it really so evil to make a quick hack at first and make a better solution in a software update? I feel like the whole industry does this.
Consumer routers do have this feature, but usually it's software-limited to single additional VLAN and called "guest network". It would be trivial to add an option for dedicated "IOT network".

Even the cheapest $20 routers are actually quite capable in terms of hardware, supporting at least 16 VLANs.
That looks like a good explanation for all that monitoring borderline stalking going on in that specific room! I never thought of it, from now on I'll thank my dog for their service!
Flawed by design!

"Apparently, all these years HiSilicon was unwilling or incapable to provide adequate security fixes for [the] same backdoor which, by the way, was implemented intentionally," Yarmak remarked.
Indeed. As I've had to remind many people over the years, "doing the same basic work you learned in your first year repeatedly for 10 years is not 10 years of experience... it's 10 of the same one year."
What is that you find reassuring?

This is from the WHO director’s speech on February 4: “Second, we reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions inconsistent with the International Health Regulations.

Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit.

So far, 22 countries have reported such restrictions to WHO.

Where such measures have been implemented, we urge that they are short in duration, proportionate to the public health risks, and are reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves.”

I think the amount of energy you've spent on this thread convincing others of what you find offensive is worrying, but you've also taken my comment out of context.

Yeah I agree, if you end the sentence abruptly it sounds blunt. Just replace it with "Please pick up milk on the way home" and it sounds normal. But that's not what I said.

I can't believe we all have spent so much energy, downvotes, and bikeshedding including myself. This is surely not efficient. Instigator is the offendee. What a disgrace!

It’s not a problem at all with lambda or Fargate. Logging can be as simple as printing to the console and they go to CloudWatch.

It’s the same concept. If you’re troubleshooting at any point involves needing to log in to an EC2 instance, you might as well have a few bespoke servers called “Web01” and “Web02”. You’re just using ASG to create pets at scale. We run an ASG in production that scales from 2 to 30 instances based on the number of messages in a queue, lambdas running all of the time, some a Fargate tasks etc. it would be a nightmare to troubleshoot all of those processes without centralized, queryable logs.

In my experience, Fargate isn't very commonly used and Lambda is used for only relatively simple things.

And that experience is representative of the entire AWS ecosystem?
If you had a really clear plan on how the creditor could take over your top traunch of revenue in the event of default it could work. But even in that case you should still be in good shape to negotiate acceptable equity arrangements with VCs if you need cash

Back in high school, my friends and I used to use the computer lab with Macintoshes to play Netrek (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netrek). We weren't supposed to be playing games, so we'd pick the computers furthest from the door. When a teacher or lab assistant walked in, they'd hear N simultaneous dings as the N of us all mashed that reset button on the side of the computer.

Not club related, but I also got a talking to when I printed a 300 page book on the laser printer when printing on a single page was more than 50 cents. And then there was the time I crashed the lab because all of the journalism class students were logged in with the teacher's creds and I decided to see what would happy when I changed her password.
When I was very young I worked at a non-Church-owned bank for a while. Thomas Monson sat on its board, or at least showed up to a nice employee dinner/dance I attended. He had a business career before he was a Church General Authority, was brilliant, and for a time continued serving on various corporate boards, until GAs all stopped doing that.

The GAs I know of personally who did not obtain wealth in their private career are not rich in any worldly sense beyond middle-class Americans, and the few I have met were kind and unselfish (and very bright & capable). I was a also Church employee for a time.

In contrast, I have no experiences or knowledge indicating abuse of power or influence by GAs, except very rarely where I read about it in the news and they quickly were not GAs any more.
>substitute "mortgage" in this sentence, think back on events of the last decade, and you can see what is horribly wrong with this article.

Plenty of people properly modelled sub-prime mortgages, and made bets accordingly. Corporations are pretty good at modelling cash-flow, too.

I think you're conflating "an inability to do so" with "caring about the results".

User groups provided assistance, shared knowledge, and shareware software before there was the Internet.

I attended a PC users group at Stanford during the late 1980's. Mostly product announcements and demos. A lot of I did this, you can do it too! People selling shareware software on 5 1/4 inch floppies for a dollar: text editors, simple databases, games. People were welcoming to newcomers, and helpful. IBM clone PC computers cost over a thousand dollars without hard disks.

I also attended a couple of meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club at SLAC. Mostly ego boasting. I missed Woz showing the Apple I.

Some of the BMUG CD roms and a huge batch of user group newsletters are on archive.org.

If you are in Silicon Valley, there is a Vintage Computer Faire West on August 1-2, 2020 at the Computer History Museum. Lots of personal collections on display, and CHM has lots of unique stuff.

One of the details I remember from middle school is that the “ball hog” invariably looks down on the team player. I think perhaps one of the big lessons from junior sports is that this person isn’t all that great in the scheme of things.

But a lot of us didn’t pay too much attention to sports so I’m not sure how widely that lesson spreads.

My sport of choice was cycling. And one of the peculiar things about club cycling is that either everyone crosses the finish line or nobody does. I couldn’t tell you for sure if that molded how I approach group dynamics or if the way they handle group dynamics is what drew me in. I think there are enough other moments in my childhood to say it was both.

The absolute worst person to put in charge, in my experience, is the person who writes the most baroque code. The person who has to fix problems because nobody else knows wtf is going on is not a hero and shouldn’t be celebrated. They’re a ball hog. And hogging just leads to more hogging.
