There's also the issue of ROI. Is Big Pharma really expecting to find an antibiotic blockbuster drug?

20+ years ago there was a distinct lack of excitement around antibiotics in general, at least from the commercial types.

Q: Is there more expectation/excitement/R&D budget now?
I've had multiple experiences with the generators. I've used it purely to generate the models themselves, doing the APIs (which were usually straightforward REST calls anyway) directly.

I've also written customized templates that removed a lot of the cruft (iirc the JS or TS generator decided to output an API client in three different flavors). Of course the problem there was that the particular generator did not have all code generation in (overridable) templates, but also some hardcoded.
While these are undoubtedly interesting reads, it should be noted that stock to flow as a predictive model is inherently flawed in that the demand side is not taken into account. There are many who like the model though, so well worth a read. It's also led to interesting efficient market hypothesis discussions which are worth looking into, I would recommend reading some of Nic Carter's work.

Edit: 'not taken into account' is probably the wrong way to say it, rather it is assumed.

I have been dreaming of running my own heroku like interface on a DO droplet. Just for small sites, side projects and such.

With heroku you need to pay to keep things running, though sadly with DO you need to do a lot of sysadmin work to keep things running.
If that's true then why isn't every country replacing their old nuclear plants with new designs? Why keep around legacy plants like Fukushima that had obvious design mistakes (emergency generator was flooded)?
I worked once for a big global F500 company whose name is a abbreviation. In a meeting while we've been waiting I asked around if anybody knows what it actually means. Some tried to make up something. Everybody failed to come up with the actual meaning.

Off-topic: I'm looking at turnout histograms and I'm having the hardest time making sense of it. Why is registered voter count on the y-axis instead of x-axis, since that should be the independent variable?

Then I realized/recalled that is what histograms do. They flip the plot between the two axis. The original, non-histogram, plot is really turnout (y-axis) vs registered-voters. But that would look very different (generally such plots are very noisy, with a running-average that mimics a horizontal line). Then, if you wish to know what's the distribution of registered-voters with respect to turnout, you take a histogram.

edit: on second thought, the plot still doesn't make sense. The y-axis should be # of polling stations, not # of registered-voters.

edit 2: This article [0] has a plot that confirms my suspicion (y-axis is supposed to be number/frequency of polling stations, not number of registered voters).

In my case I found it beneficial to just move everything to Hetzner. It offered everything I need at a lower price, and I foresee that for some of my projects I'll need to get 'proper' servers instead of the lowest-tier VPS offerings. It's easier to do that when it's all in the same ecosystem.

That said, it's only been barely worth the hassle. The difference in cost for the lowest tier, at least, is almost a rounding error in my finances.

Furthermore, it feels strange that I still often end up at DO pages for various tutorials or articles to help me set things up.

I guess mostly I still find myself fond of DO, have been helped immensely by their free articles and tutorials, and am immensely impressed that they haven't gone to shit like all the shared hosting providers I've churned through in the years before I moved to DO. and while it was ultimately worth it for me to move all my projects to Hetzner, I wouldn't particularly recommend that approach to anyone unless <10$ a month is something they are concerned about.
If a user sees some random date, such as 3/4/xxxx, they have absolutely no way to distinguish if this is in their format or not.

If you're in the US, you might assume that this is in your backwards M/D/Y format, meaning it's April 3rd, and you'd be right much of the time.

If I, in the US, see 3/4/xxxx, its meaning is March 4th, definitely not April 3rd.

But the fact that you got your example wrong only proves your overall point that it's a mess!

Ask HN: Why most websites violate GDPR even with annoying popups?
In order to collect personal data, you need to get explicit consent from the user. We can see such consent requests across the web on any advertisement based websites.

If we check developer tools, we can clearly see that cookies already been set. Google analytics scripts been loaded. It doesn't look as an opt-in for me.

Even if we try to comprehend content of such requests, it'll send the user to hundreds of websites in order to read their "Privacy Policy".

Does it violate General Data Protection Regulation? Because I can't see the way it's not.

Why to use such popups in the first place if you still violate the rules?

Even Google been fined for violating GDPR:

> Confidence and humility are often seen as opposites, but in this case, as in many others, confidence helps you to be humble. If you know you're an expert on some topic, you can freely admit when you learn something you didn't know, because you can be confident that most other people wouldn't know it either

This is an excellent point. I'd much rather work with (and aspire to be) someone that knows when they don't know, than someone that has all the answers.
> There is a lot more incompetence than you would ever want to believe

I'm currently in ops/sysadmin. Large org. Yes, the incompetency you see is sometimes incredulous: I have helped developers install Visual Studio; how to use RDP; had to explain how saving to local disk is different from a networked folder ... I can't think of better examples at the moment, though they exist and are plenteous.

Thing is, I am a hundred percent sure these same people could have turned the tables on me and be aghast by my lack of knowledge in many disciplines.

There are more things to know in this world than any one person can and it is thinking you are beyond this that is truly delusional.

Even with a "verified expert" in a subject, whatever that means, we can find ample holes in their knowledge.

As the article stresses since 2017 and for two reasons (different from what is discussed in this thread):

- Switching to an auction model in 2017 to drive prices down, which was implemented very poorly.

- Strongly incentivizing small "citizen" project to increase acceptance in the population. Which messed up larger scale deployments and lead to awful bureaucracy.
I have been in toxic places like this but I also wonder if being sucked into a dynamic so deeply that one would go out to ostracise another person on a several month long campaign is well spent energy and healthy for the person doing it. Maybe that person really was so horrid that they deserve it idk but it says as much about the accuser as it does about the alleged culprit. Most work place dynamic I have seen there was always one person that stuck out in a negative way, and the places where this wasn't as much an issue was when all the others (who were normal) were able to see the BS and not give that person a platform to begin with. Maybe this should have been spotted earlier and management should have responded quicker rather than letting things become this toxic, but since the author seemed part of the management the whole thing just seems off. Hard to say as an outsider what the situation there was other than something doesn't gel.

Ignoring the obvious that not everybody gets to choose the operating system their enterprise uses, there's real reasons to use Windows for performance.

For one, SQL Server spanks most other databases for complex ad-hoc queries.

Don't get me wrong, PostgreSQL is getting a lot better these days, and I'm sure that for a lot of basic workloads its very competitive, but the query planner in SQL Server is basically black magic.

There are very few (any?) database engines out there that can, in a single query, combine in-memory tables, remote tables, functions, materalised views, columnar data, and recursive joins then run that query in parallel and efficiently.

I think Oracle has most of those checkbox features, and perhaps a couple of others do too (DB2 perhaps?), but as far as I know MS SQL Server still outperforms them for this type of thing.

Mind you, Oracle scales to bigger clusters, and DB2 runs on bigger iron, but that's not my use-case. I have one Intel box.
Interesting, though I would like to see more cost comparisons.

Some negatives I've found are UHV lines used for renewable transmission will see low utilization and the switching equipment is quite unreliable so overcapacity is needed.

Blizzard developer interviews often involve phrases from the Dictionary of Management Jargon [1].

Consider this excerpt from an interview [2] with Steven Chang and David Kosak done on February 6, 2020 regarding the Galakrond's Awakening expansion for Hearthstone after the players complained about the game being unbalanced:

>In terms of the minor balance changes we’ve been doing recently, it’s something where we want to try and see where we can strike that balance where the community feels happy about it without introducing too much change so that the game feels completely different. This is a fine line to walk, and we will always be watching and listening to the community about the amount and timings of changes.

No actual detail is given on anything, it's all empty feelgood sentences. Entire paragraphs go on like this, stating opinions and desires as outlined in the DoMJ:

>Statements of desires – A statement that something is hoped for does not imply any action is to be taken to ensure the desired outcome. Example: I want us all to be happy with our compensation.

I think multidisciplinary knowledge is unnecessary, especially now with deep learning where there is no feature vector design.

Even the DeepMind discoveries in various fields always feature the same people that I doubt know deeply about protein folding or similar stuff.

Even when you look at computer vision research and how all the sophisticated methods became unnecessary when NNs came to dominate shows the same thing.

I remember having to learn about dependency parsing, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, entity relationship inference, document summarization and a bunch of sophisticated modelling. Combining all of that to get to high level tasks like machine translation or question answering or even summarization (some methods pruned the dependency tree to get a summarized sentence) was difficult.

Look at transformers disrupting the NLP. There is no concept of dependency tree, no need to do POS tagging, it's not even necessary to think about that when making a machine translation system. People were figuring out how to build better and faster dependency parsers, POS taggers etc. Domain knowledge was massive and it became redundant with the advent of transformers.
> Ignoring the obvious that not everybody gets to choose the operating system their enterprise uses

For sure. If you can't choose, then I don't blame you.

> there's real reasons to use Windows for performance

I can't really think of any reason though. You gave the example of SQLServer, but that also runs on Linux. Does SQL Server perform better on Windows than Linux?

Edit: found a benchmark here: https://www.dbbest.com/blog/running-sql-server-on-linux/

Turns out you get better performance for SQL Server on Linux compared to windows. I am not surprised by this at all.

I take your point, and kudo's.

Where I'm coming from is having seen some tool vendors sell "scriptless" test automation tools. UFT has it, and what used to be Rational Functional Tester has it (I peddled RFT in a previous life). The vendors sold it very successfully to non-technical managers, and it looks cool, the dusty companies and large companies all fell for it. "Your Business Analysts can automate tests". But a few months down the line, you realise that it is a rock muffin. No modular code, but linear end-to-end scripts. The login page changed? Update hundreds of test scripts. Who looks bad? Test automation as a profession.
I don't consider it virtuous!

By pushing more to pass:

- either the next year the problems will be more difficult,

- or it devaluates the worth of passing an exam.

Also, 30% is very low (especially as such cut-off are for the basic level exams, not advanced level exams). You get the high school diploma, but it is not something that is enough to get to any univ. that makes any sense (some will take such students, but only as they are being funded on the level of enrolment OR they are private and are essientially "a bribe-in rates for a diploma" style).
They use lasers to hold Rubidium atoms, that's very common so ignore the "for Fist Time" part of the title. It is also common to hold many atoms at the same time.

I'm not an expert in this field, so it's difficult to be sure what is exactly the interesting part here, but the title of the press article is very bad.

I guess that the original part is that they can control the lasers to make the trapped atoms get closer and colide. I guess when the beams of the laser traps are too close, they interact in weird ways and the atoms escape most of the time.

Also, every "Physicist" is a "Quantum Physicist". To be more precise, Quantum Mechanics is used almost everywhere, so people use finer classification. For example, Solid State Physics use also a lot of QM but they don't call themselves "Quantum Physicist", Molecular Physics use also a lot of QM but they don't call themselves "Quantum Physicist", ...
This is likely an article for big companies to move their apps to GCP. Google probably wants them to be able to utilize preemptible nodes to reduce cost and with a monolith you can't really set meaningful service levels agreements if you do not have reliable hardware backing you.

For non standardized features, I doubt it will happen. I'm my experience, it all comes down to the details, and the details need to be expressed in a language without possible interpretation problems. Imo, most programming languages are already on that level, so there won't be any revolution here.

Graphical programming might change how many people work. More standardized modules (blogging, authentication, e-commerce, etc) might gradually save us more and more time. But what differentiates will always be needed to be expressed in some way.

Sure, we could go towards SQL-like ways of expressing the desired result instead of how the program should process things, but honestly I think in many scenarios ifs and such statements will be much easier to express yourself in for a long time (ever?).
