> I can appreciate the effort that went into this, but I don't really understand its appeal, or even the appeal of Helm, when installing anything on Kubernetes is as simple as running `kubectl apply -f <manifest.yml>`.

True at a certain level of abstraction, and like another reply says at heart helm is "just" a templating system. However you'd be doing a lot of kubectl apply-ing to replicate the functionality and configuration options of, say, the stable prometheus or nginx-ingress charts. At its best helm really is the package manager its designers aspired for it to be, and if the work is done to create good charts you can get a lot done with a 'helm upgrade --install'. That said, although we use it extensively for infrastructure-level pieces like the examples above, we find it too complicated and indirect for deploying our own services. For that we use kustomize (which is in kubectl now) to apply yaml patches and kubectl to deploy the manifests.

These are typically luxury units, which are not affordable to most people outside the tech sector. Meanwhile, despite high salaries many people in the tech sector (rightly) don't want to pay luxury prices, and so they are also competing for lower priced housing.

I'm not sure there's a meaningful distinction to be drawn there for the vast majority of usage, to be honest. A language's standard library is generally considered to be part and parcel of the language. Everyone's first sample program is "Hello World" which involves printing text to standard output.

That being said, languages that do offer the ability to work without the standard library give you a lot of flexibility for places where you need it (like embedded systems). Rust has a pretty good story there. I don't think C or C++ really do.

This is silly. Lots of people are very productive in Go without generics. Even more productive than many languages that have generics (including Rust). Lots of people are very productive in languages without static typing at all. Generics will significantly improve a relatively small proportion of use cases.
It's more that the conscious brain incorrectly orders events when building memory. Deja Vu is a common phenomenon of falsely feeling a memory of something that was just learned.

OK, I tried to read this, but (as is probably on purpose with these legal things) I did not understand what is going on here. Who is arguing which argument?

Amortized against L2 cache, MMU, SIMD floating-point units, and Out-of-Order engines, 64-bit integer ALUs and data paths are not a big change.

If Authenticator is actually abandoned, are there any suggested alternatives?

I know I can just get a yubikey, but I'm still not comfortable with the process for temporarily authenticating on a computer or phone that isn't mine. In those cases I much prefer to type in a code.
> We are currently only arranging these things in 2D. If AMD/TSMC develop a way to stack chiplets in 3 dimensions, we could wind up with another huge bump in logical transistor density per socket/node.

We already hit up against Dennard scaling more than strict Moore's law issues (although there's hard problems on that side too). Cooling those transistors is already such an issue that we have concepts like dark silicon, even when you assume that the transistors themselves are in a 2D plane immediately backed by cooling.
> If AMD/TSMC develop a way to stack chiplets in 3 dimensions, we could wind up with another huge bump in logical transistor density per socket/node.

Stacking is pretty close to being a solved problem. Cooling a stack of high-power chips is the challenge.

Amazon tells worldwide ops employees to stop all foreign and domestic travel
Meetups! They're great and everyone is super welcoming. Depending on your city, there should be a few tech events happening. Use that as a launching pad to branch into areas outside of your craft. In September, I challenged myself to attend a meetup a day and I found myself going to movies, dinners, bars, parks, and so on meeting and talking to people I'd have never met otherwise. Now, I wouldn't recommend everyone do what I did but in my case, I needed something to force me out of my typical routine of spending all of my time in front of a computer.

You're fortunate in that you do spend time talking with strangers on IRC. I actually spend very little time talking to people except in person and I routinely find myself isolated if I'm not constantly pushing myself to reach out to my friends.

From the sound of it, small talk could be a challenge for you. It's definitely a skill and I'd recommend you take note of the points in conversations where you've had trouble and spend time coming up with responses you'll feel confident in using. This is a strategy I've used since my early 20s for everything from casual conversations to interviewing to sales/investor pitches. It takes time and at the end of the day you'll have to accept that we all have our fair share of blunders.

I'd recommend writing out your challenges and trying to break them down as much as possible. It makes it easier to then focus on one area at a time:
- Overcoming any shyness or social awkwardness you might feel when approaching someone you don't know.
- Becoming a better conversationalist to be able to keep the flow of a conversation going.
- Meeting new people who you share some common ground with.
- Building friendships with those acquaintances.
- And finally, over a longer period of time, deepening those relationships.

Some of these or all of these could be things you want to focus on. From there, switch into problem solving mode and Google your way to success. For me, this has been a lifelong challenge of mine. I love meeting and talking to new people but being a remote worker as well as a homebody can make for a lonely lifestyle if I'm not paying close attention.

I wish you the best of luck out there!

The Problem with Telling Sick Workers to Stay Home
I know France, Belgium, and the USA have no proper driver's education and that Germany and the Netherlands do (other countries I would have to look up). In Belgium, people learn from their parents and then take the exam and therefore keep repeating most of their parents' mistakes plus their own. Everyone in Germany and the Netherlands that I've talked to agrees that Belgians are terrible drivers, and France has a similar system and seem to be just as bad (though with fewer data points because they're further away).

From your link: Belgium=7.3, France=5.8, USA=7.3 versus Germany=4.2, Netherlands=4.7. I don't know what the P-value on that is (I never thought of looking at this until you mentioned it) but so far it looks like the data matches intuition.

Of course, there's a lot more factors, like that in the USA and Germany have towns much further apart than the Netherlands (I've said before that in NL you're never more than a few minutes away from being at least in hearing distance of the nearest human). This makes public transport much worse and those who don't like driving may be obliged to, but also the infrastructure costs more when there are fewer inhabitants per km² to make use of each road which should make the infrastructure worse. Indeed, driving from NL into Germany during rain, the highways instantly and universally turn from nearly dry (due to permeable concrete) to lots of spatting and aquaplaning risk.

I'm also not sure fatalities is the only thing we should be looking at. NL is higher than Germany but if you have more city traffic than highway traffic, you probably hit more bicycles and pedestrians despite better infrastructure.

Nevertheless, interesting statistic.

I read on on alot, thank you.
I don't have a link or reference handy but your question reminded me of an old cybernetic device that improvised music along with human musicians. It could detect and respond to novelty in the human music, and it would get "bored" so to play along with it the humans had to figure out novel musical, uh, stuff... melodies and whatnot.

There seems like a vast difference between music and D&D stories/games, but just yesterday there was that RNN-sci-fi-editor experiment on here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22427958 ) so maybe it's not as far-fetched?

In any event, being a good DM is really really fun, I don't think I'd want to let a computer muscle in on it, eh?
Got really tired and bored with this. Maybe structure the article with some sort of meaningful abstract so that you can summarize the points you want to make up front without having to subject the reader to 9/10ths of this article.
No surprises there. Just yesterday, I saw someone comment online that a particular opinion article was poorly researched and written like an amateur. Where the author has a Pulitzer and a Gerald Loeb Award with decades in the business at major periodicals and newspapers. It seems clear the judged "quality" of the opinion has mostly to do with whether the reader agrees.
One thing that's slightly interesting about Dyson Sphere's is that spherical shells of matter exert exactly no gravitational pull at any point in their interiors. That is, the integral of gravitational pull over the whole shell is identically 0 for every point inside the shell.* This goes for any force that falls off by the inverse square rule, e.g. the electrostatic force.

In short, there's no practical way to stick an atmosphere, much less a civilization composed of life forms that depend on gravity, to the inside of the sphere, even if the other engineering challenges could be overcome.

* One thing that's suddenly more interesting to me now is if the space at any point is being "pulled" equally in all directions, resulting in zero force, or if the bends in space-time cancel out. In the limit, for example, could you "tear" space-time inside a dense enough and/or heavy enough shell of matter?
I really feel like it's worth having this discussion: the black bar for Freeman Dyson, but not for Katherine Johnson who died earlier this week.

At the time I thought it was likely because she wasn't _directly_ involved in computing and tried to write it off, but Freeman seems to be as related to the page as her. I bring it up because it really does speak to how a community decides who they want to include or not. Unless I've missed some specific guidelines, it sends unwelcoming signals to me.
Is there some good reason for you to want to stay in Netherlands?

I'm just speculating, and maybe this is not for you, but perhaps you could consider moving to a southern place.

Same problems as now, same difficulties, same police and nasty people but...

1) A little of sun and a less harsh climate can do wonders in your soul. Only for that you should consider putting some distance from dutch's winter.

2) You speak english well in the Mediterranean tourism sector, you have the 95% of the job yet.

3) An unique look can be used as an advantage. Is easier to blend in a holidays place. People feel less territorial, are more customed to see different people and more forgiving. Entertainers, performers, extravagant dresses etc... are expected. Drunk people is everywhere in the coast and can be dangerous, but with a low entry job, you can start building some safety for you, stay out of the streets and navigate most problems. Doing remote work, you can be as invisible as you want.

4) You need spending less in clothes and can dress casual more easily. You can use the sea and beach showers for free each time you need a bath.

5) Somebody lying in a street all day is a homeless, Somebody lying in a beach all day is a tourist. If you can find a safe place for your properties first (!) and keep a clean look and low profile, you could sleep all day under an umbrella. Nobody will care about it, and nobody will call the police for that. Just remain in places with more people, be careful with pickpockets, cover your skin from excesive sun with light clothes or/and sunscreen and the problem of not enough sleeping quality time is fixed.

I assume that some of this areas have a gay friendly scene also and that many people needing publicity, accounting, and web pages to promote their bussiness could find useful your computer skills.

It doesn't look good for Reinhart and Rogoff, but if it hadn't been their paper it would have been something else. The political will existed in Europe to subject Greece to extreme measures; it was going to happen. If Germany hadn't found this scapegoat they would have found some other one.

Your choice was fine imo. Besides, you can never satisfy everyone.
It's easier to emulate CISC with RISC than the other way around. CISC instructions break down into RISC instructions but detecting which RISC instructions can be added together into a complex CISC instruction is much harder (though I'd note that RISCV attempts to fuse certain instructions as an optional optimization).
Sorry for that, we don't mind mentioning anyone, it's just there was no historical event that we could tie to uBO. I'll ask the author to add a footnote about uBO and others we missed to mention, we love them all.

As a former but not current car user, congestion does not factor into how desirable car use for commuting is. I don't keep my eye on how many less cars there are, waiting for that moment when I can finally get another one because my hypothetical commute time dropped 5 mins. If it's even on par to not drive to work, that's what I'll do, and I'd pick a job in such a place that allows it. Driving to work sucks.

It seems a lot of these come down to the fact that people don’t do a final sanity check. I have seen it quite a few times where people threw out numbers in meetings that simply didn’t make sense but weren’t challenged.
It's bad practice sure, but to say that it "completely negates the entire point of two factor authentication" is ignoring the main attack password managers are good at defending against: credential stuffing.

Example:
If LinkedIn leaks my password, attackers can't use it to gain access to my Gmail because (thanks to the help of a password manager) I use different passwords for all sites. They also can't use it to gain access to LinkedIn because I have 2FA turned on. Even if my OTPs are saved in my password manager, they would need my master password for that.

And if they have someone's master password, they're probably screwed whether or not they have OTPs in their vault because they likely have credit card numbers, addresses, social security numbers, etc in there too.

>This one is kinda buried in the list. This is what motivated the harsh austerity measures in Greece. So an entire country was punished because of a bug in a spreadsheet.

That isn't true. This paper indicated that moderately high levels of public debt constrained economic growth. As you have pointed out, the paper was riddled with errors and the evidence that moderately high levels of public debt slow economic growth isn't really there.

What happened in Greece is quite different. Lenders lost confidence in the Greek government's ability to repay their debt. Partially because there was re-statement of public debt that increased the debt level by 11% overnight.

What the Greek government did after that to get out from under this was to cut spending (austerity). Economists have always been sceptical that this would work since during a recession is the very worst time to cut spending since it reduces cumulative demand at a time when it is already down.

Indeed it did not work as we all know, but Eurozone lenders were not willing to allow a partial default which is what should have happened and being in the Euro means that there is no possibility for a devaluation.
Effects of Corona Virus on Tech Companies
OK, so the idea of having the authenticator app entirely handle its own accessibility might not solve the problem in the case of users that are actually using accessibility features. Or at least it would require some serious system level support [1].

But how about the first part of my suggestion, which was to have whether or not accessibility features are used in the authenticator app controlled by a setting in the app separate from the system wide settings?

For people not needing accessibility, at least, and so have it off both system wide and in the authenticator app they would be protected. A rogue app getting system wide accessibility access would still not get access to the authenticator.

[1] The system might have to support two independent sets of accessibility privileges and settings, one for most apps and one for security apps, with severe restrictions on what regular apps can do when a security app is running.

They are a thing [1]. We use MintData spreadsheets for a large part of our regression test suite that tests MintData itself.

A bit meta, but yes, spreadsheets can definitely be used for the equivalent of what "unit tests" are in code.

Interestingly, we also have "integration tests" in our spreadsheets, but this has more to do with the fact that MintData spreadsheets have native API calling ability, so we can test with external services end-to-end.
