I agree. We are B2B company and while we include the price of SSO with the contract, we also only work with “whales”.

It takes us about two or three hours of coordinating with our client to configure SSO and that’s if they only use it for authentication. If they use it for authorization also where we base their permissions on claims they send us - as oppose to an admin in their side configuring their users - it’s a lot more coordination.

We host our own Ping Federate instances.
If you're us, I hope you don't need to travel outside of cities much. That was my last phone, most newer built or refurbished towers rely on bands it can't support. I loved it until I moved to a smaller, newer city, and was constantly running into dead zones because of it. Most of my received calls went straight to voicemail because the towers couldn't reach me.
To accompany the neighboring reply from the grandparent poster, the practice of site/service reliability as an engineering discipline is not just popular amongst the FAANGs, all of whom have SREs, but embedded into the company culture and structure. Google, for example, has a head honcho of SRE (a VP of SRE?) who gives all SREs extra authority to act somewhat independently.

A large part of the perceived competency of the FAANGs is their ability to casually and repeatedly achieve 5+ nines of availability. When HN is unavailable, that's no big deal; when google.com is unavailable, users act as if an apocalypse has begun. That difference in reliability changes a service from something that people consider as an option into something that people rely upon.
Both Game of Life and Rule 30 are cellular automata so yes!
Well, most mainstream languages are dialects of Lisp (though usually with syntax, records, methods, and sometimes static typing) so if you strip them down far enough you get Lisp. Other reasonably usable minimal programming languages do exist, like the lambda-calculus, the pi-calculus, Abadí and Cardelli's object calculus, the ur-Forth, and the ur-Smalltalk, but they're not as familiar.
This great.

I wish exist more information on the array family (and with less "condensed" syntax :)).

I'm building a relational language and have tried to borrow some ideas, but apart from the very basics is not much info out (and most are about numerics). For example, how about crud operations.? Lazy evaluation?
I'm a college student and do most of my work from my dorm room, which is also where I sleep, eat, and socialize. For me, lighting is the main thing that helps me differentiate "work mode" from not-work mode. I have a video light mounted above my desk and a couple of bright 5600k plant lights in my window, all of which are on a light timer, in addition to my desk lamp. When I do work during the day, my desk is very well-lit. At night all of these get turned off (sometimes I turn the video light back on but set it to a much warmer color temperature and lower brightness for ambiance).
An aggressive block list could do it. Privacy Badger "learns" what is tracking you, so it does take a little bit to start being effective when you first start using it. It caches 34 trackers on theverge.com with uBlock Origin turned off for me, and 9 with uBlock Origin turned on.
It doesn't update with SSH keys because the tree is static, but it was updated within a few months ago, so if you claim now (in 1-2 days when claiming is enabled on the mainnet) it should work with your existing keys.
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Uber Digs.
There are a few courses on Edx (that I think) are worth paying for (under the new scheme, where you can audit courses for free, but lose access to videos, homework etc once the course is over). But, for such courses, edx also requires uploading of a government issued photo id, which I have no intention of doing.

If anyone at edx is reading this, I'll be glad to pay for retaining videos beyond the course period, and the ability to do assignments, but I don't want "verified certificates" (which presumably requires photo id etc). Right now there is no way I can pay for the former without also asking for the latter.
Personally, I think that if reduce is a single, reasonable length line, it's probably being used correctly. If it's a giant function, you're probably better off just using a regular loop.

Use it when it's clear and elegant, don't when it's not. Unfortunately, relatively junior programmers try to force it because it seems like a cool tool to use.

Have you ever used desktop solaris? it was terrible. I'll vouch. resize a window in the file manager, and every single item would need to be reprocessed and the entire system would lock until 1 by 1 they re-spawned. It was infuriating.
There exist cheap, dangerous DIY aircraft and expensive ultra-performant bug-free programs, but mostly we see expensive, safe airplanes and buggy but cheap(ish) software.

Also SWEs do a lot more "on-the-fly" modifications than physical engineers, simply because it's so much easier in software.
I haven't tried this and don't know if it would work -- but depending on the shape of your data and queries, you might not need certain indices. That is, for some workloads (especially if you're thinking of spot instances), it might be overall faster to skip the indexing and allow the query to do a full table scan. It sounds like maybe you never tried the query without the index, so I'm curious to know if there's any weight behind this theory.

Ask HN: What was your worst Work From Home mistake?
When I started working from home in 2011, I got it all wrong. Work/life balance was all over the place, and I didn't have any delineation between the two. Everything suffered. I've learned the hard way that there's more to working from home than rolling out of bed and sitting at a computer for 8 or 10 hours. What was your worst WFH mistake, and how did you fix it?
> The point of using a distributed version control system is so I can store it all locally. This new tool defaults to only 30 items, and cannot fetch more than 100. So even if you're willing to put up with the multi-second latency of hitting their servers for every command line operation (it feels like CVS all over again), you still can't say "give me everything and let me grep it". You have no choice but to use the 3 ways they give you to filter (assignee, label, state -- not title, comments, or date).

I love the command line too, and I get what you're saying, but why don't you just use their API?

This was simply wonderful, and hidden at the bottom was a link to an insect named "Issus coleoptratus"[1] which evolved something like a biological gear for synchronizing its legs.

As an almost complete aside, in Terry Pratchett's "Last Continent" there is a God of Evolution that comments on how difficult it is design a biological wheel.

“It’s very hard to design an organic wheel, you know,” said the god reproachfully. “They’re little masterpieces.”

“You don’t think just, you know, moving the legs about would be simpler?”

“Oh, we’d never get anywhere if I just copied earlier ideas,” said the god. “Diversify and fill all niches, that’s the ticket.”

“But is lying on your side in a mud hole with your wheels spinning a very important niche?” said Ponder.

Hi Keith, congratulations on building autocode. I'm by no means a naming expert, probably you should do the opposite of what I say. Also I know building stuff is hard.
But I feel that autocode is a weak way to name the product. If I am a business user, or tinkerer I would want the opposite of an autocode app. I wanted a solution of how to connect APIs. Or how to automate my processes. The name itself is pretty good tbh, but in my opinion it just doesn't speak to your core value proposition.
You do realize that UBO's backup functionality relies on the browser's native data syncing functionality (and thus on Firefox Accounts, for Firefox), right?
I have a very strong suspicion that most of the Circuit courts are not going to follow this analysis. Based on the continual erosion of individual applicability of the 4-6 amendments, I would say the more like argument and opinions will focus on distinguishing these types of cases (forced decryption) from testimonial precedent. They will then proceed to, or try to, align the context with the clearly allowable compelling of DNA, fingerprints, physical appearance and other visual identifiers.

I don’t particularly like that train of thought, but given (for example) the higher court’s willingness for the sentence “I want a lawyer, dawg” to be a request for canine companionship and not one asserting a 6th amendment right to counsel, I don’t think I’m wrong.

The Google - Epic thing aside, having an open market is important.

Before App stores became acceptable, the PC market was wide open and there was robust competition.

Developers could create any kind of software they wanted. They were free to distribute and sell however made sense, and there was no need to ask for permission. This advanced the state of the art exponentially for decades and decades. Customers reaped the benefits.
Hacker News is run by Y Combinator, which funds startups, potentially like this one if it can be shown to grow well. Due to such roots, members on HN generally like startup-related posts, whether good or bad.

Most startups that I hear about have rather shitty software quality because they're focused on velocity. VCs don't care about sustainability since they don't even know whether the business is even worth sustaining.

Stock prices are (generally speaking) about the sentiment of the long term performance of a company. The coronavirus has caused a lot of setbacks but it's only a short term problem. As long as a company can survive this short term loss of productivity there is no need for the stock valuation to be lowered.

> even showing the specific data from your example above, you may have long periods of time .... Then, all of a sudden, lots of people are sick

This is a fair point that pandemics are outliers and one must weigh expected value of a high impact event and not just probability. Making it easy to simulate expected outcomes to inform decision making would be an important component. Similarly, you need to take into account the other low probability event that vaccines may be fine for 50 years and then one year's formulation goes awry for one population group. It seems like VAERS is designed for this latter purpose and really what I'm talking about would in a sense be a much more comprehensive VAERS.

> Literally the first 10 google queries for Vaccines are form the CDC, Mayo Clinic and other excellent resources going through the evidence for vaccines.

This is a good data point. I opened the 10 links and they are indeed good extensive resources about the existing information.

After a number of clicks I was able to finally find 2 really interesting things. VAERS CSV downloads: https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/datasets.html and a WONDER query inferface: https://wonder.cdc.gov/.

Both leave a lot to be desired but definitely a big step in the right direction.

> You can't convince people to read the 'good' information....I'm not sure how a further portal is going to help people who have decided to make decisions contrary to the evidence.

I think the problem is it's really hard to truly make decisions based on the evidence because the evidence is so hard to use correctly. I think we should figure out how to bring the evidence front and center instead of burying it in very slow and hard to use ways (pdfs, clunky complex query interfaces, registration or permission walls etc).

The approach the US has taken to date is to summarize the data and make widespread proclamations that are right for the mean but often wrong for the individual. Instead if we could bring the data closer to the user we could make it as fast for a user to determine for themselves that getting a vaccination is a good bet than it is for them to just accept that based on a blanket statement. The NIH's Precision Medicine Initiative is another step in the right direction but there's still a long way to go.

Sorry, I only saw this today. I don't think I fully understand your question, though -- can you clarify? I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'keeping the effects strongly tied to their causes'/maintaining 'strict lines of cause and consequence', vs. 'lumping outcomes together'. So the rest of the comment is obscure to me, because I can't follow the connections you're making.

Is part of your point that we should be as precise as we can about the effects of our actions, tracing lines of causality at the highest possible resolution? I agree with this in principle (allowing for the fact that improving our knowledge isn't costless, so it will rarely be worthwhile to literally maximise it), but I think usually all we realistically have is a best guess, maybe a rough probability distribution for the outcome of each action. And throwing that out because it's uncertain would be letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, IMO.
As a semi-counter-point:
1) the argument, made by every criminal defense attorney in trial ever, that a jury can not infer anything from a defendant’s exercise of his/her 5th amendment right to remain silent is basically pointless. Juries, and individual jurors in the vast majority, do not buy it, they don’t accept it as the law in their minds, and they certainly factor it into deliberations;

I in no way want the following to appear that I have an opinion as to anything regarding Trump’s anything, but

2) Trump was acquitted because of the way the US impeachment process is set up, if I am sure of anything, it is the fact that no votes to acquit where based in any way on Seklow’s arguments about presumption based on the 5th amendment.

Hi, the articles are very readable so if its AI writing this count me impressed, but the explanations on bigbird.dev don't give me a lot of confidence, since their is a lot of focus on big bird templating the news and letting a human edit it...

I think that's a perfectly reasonable debate to have.

However that's exactly why I think they should not use deceptive language to confuse people. People need to understand exactly what is being done to have trust in it and to debate it so they can form reasonable opinions - not be deceived into thinking one thing is happening when actually something much more intrusive is going on.
