This is literally the reason I most recently wrote some C, but - do you really need linking? You can pretty easily use a Python library from Ruby by writing a little loop in Python that accepts JSON input and produces JSON output, and calling that as a Ruby subprocess.

It's fairly rare that you actually need to be in the same process. (The thing I wrote was a wrapper for unshare(), so it did strictly need to be in-process, but that's an unusual use case.) Even if you want to share large amounts of data between your process and the library, you can often use things like memory-mapped files.

And there are some benefits from splitting up the languages, including the ability to let each language's runtime handle parallelism (finding out that the C library you want to use isn't actually thread-safe is no fun!), letting each language do exception-handling on its own, increased testability, etc.
Shouldn't be a comparison between single agent and human performance a better measurement? I mean ok, its defined against "human performance" but a human cannot play parallel on multiple environments or on a tree of possibilities. It just plays again and again single shot/agent.
What branch of philosophy?

My guess is that in actuality it's just emotional/chemical for you.

What net benefits would you see that having? If I'm allowed to assume that you wouldn't use TLS because of PKI management concerns, I have a hard time seeing how using WireGuard in the large wouldn't have the same problems--you still have to build some kind of management platform on top that verifies host authenticity (ultimately including revocations and more). That is to say, WireGuard in the large will surely (right?) need supporting PKI.

> The scientists found that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel.

24 hours is within the time-frame of same-day deliveries at the least. I think OP's point still stands; it's a disease vector.

> No, no they really dont!

Yes, they really do. I've explained the details my employers' hiring processes to white and asian men trying to get into tech, and the majority feel like it is an overall benefit to diverse candidates - other discrimination in tech notwithstanding. Really, how can you write this? Do your claim to know the opinions of every white and asian man in this country?

My point is, that the fact that diverse tech workers may face discrimination in other ways (e.g. slurs as you pointed out) doesn't necessarily "even out" discrimination in hiring that favors diverse candidates. Someone who can't land an interview may feel that the opportunity to get a job, even if it comes at the expense of other forms of hostility, is a net positive.

> What a horrifying thing to say. Normalizing racial and sexual harassment is a large part of the problem. Are you going to claim you don't understand how the tech industry is so homogenous while simultaneously claiming that racial slurs are just some inconsequential price of admission in tech?

The idea that discrimination in hiring is justified because of other forms of discrimination (such as slurs) is something you originally claimed:

> Exaggerating the status of "diversity hires" just ignores the harsh reality of rampant discrimination in the tech industry. And not just on the basis of sex and race, but age and disability too. There wouldn't need to be such a hard push for underrepresented candidates if it were a more welcoming, diverse workforce in the first place.

Your message here is that discrimination in hiring is necessary and justified because of other forms of discrimination. This seems like the "price of admission" mentality you refer to above. Whether or not this is "Horrifying" is up to you, but lets be clear: the idea that one form of discrimination justifies another form of discrimination is an idea that you originally brought up.

For what it's worth, I'm of the mind that two wrongs don't make a right. If people are being treated with contempt on the basis of race, then the appropriate response is to curb that behavior - not discriminate in favor of the targeted demographic in hiring. Claiming that one slurs are okay because candidates are beneficiaries of discrimination is wrong. So is claiming that discrimination is okay because these people are subject to slurs, or other forms of hostility.

This really sucks, I work for a stormwater environmental company and we were looking at darksky to replace our existing provider; DarkSky is one of the best providers of weather data.IBM also bought weather underground, I am really what these big tech companies want with forecasting/weather companies.

I just wish they kept the API running though.
I'm interested in your point of view. If I run a query that tells me X hundred thousand users have used feature Y, have I violated anyone's privacy in your opinion?

Also, would you think it's better to not collect such non personally identifiable user information at the expense of quality and stability of product?
Thanks for the info and link, it looks like All Clear is positioned well to pick up dark sky android users. I'm going to give it a try.
I was too depressed and scared to consider that then.

I haven't really thought about that angle since, either.
Unfortunately, metal cans have a plastic liner too. We use plastic in so much it'll be really hard to get away from it.
This has so many ramifications:

1. Oems will start getting on board with AMD and we will finally gets 1st tier designs like the xps series with AMD chips.

2. Laptops were the last stronghold where intels performance was still higher, now that AMD has conquered this tower the 'intel' castle is ready to be invaded.

3. The increased competition should mean that top chip laptop prices will start dropping. Cheaper notebooks.

Overall this is incredible. Great job AMD!
The EU includes a lot of less developed countries from former dictatorships, former communist countries, and the former Yugoslavia. There's a lot of catching up which hasn't finished yet.

As a SAML service provider, what's the easiest way to tell if my implementation has this problem?

I'm guessing I should:
1) Go into my Okta dev account, create a 2nd "okta app" (SP instance) pointing at my hosted application, which should create a new entity ID
2) Start an IDP-initiated login attempt from this 2nd okta app, and verify I get an audience mismatch error

Ok, thanks for replying. I've been busily trying to reword my post since talking down to people who stand up and make things really isn't my thing either.

> historical US inflation prior to the ridiculous post-2009 financial situation had long periods of being well above 3% and the sky didn't fall

True, but misleading; again, it's real rather than nominal rates that matter to most people. Before the GFC you could get interest on savings above the rate of inflation, even after tax. Not spectacular gains, but saving was at least possible.

After the GFC your choices are to either a) join the long queue of ever-greater fools piling into the casino, or b) watch central banks confiscate your money, year after year, forever.
>Yes but that's inline with what you'd expect Apple to do though.

I'd argue the exact opposite. They keep pronouncing they're now a services company. If that's TRULY their go-forward model, they should be selling services to the broadest possible audience. Shutting it down to other audiences tells me they're still a hardware company that can't see past their walled garden.

If anyone at Apple is listening, I'll say it for the thousandth time: Support Messages on Android and Windows and you will own the messaging market. If you keep kicking the can, someone will eventually take it from you. Just look at Blackberry and what you did to them... it can and will happen to you as well. BES was thought to be an impenetrable wall. Narrator: It wasn't.

Yes, but it is a sliding scale. Firing someone after organizing a strike would suggest sufficient prima facie to pursue the case in court. A claim without the appearance of supporting evidence would be thrown out.
So we talk the Installer, the brand/icon (which is good that it is strictly owned by one entity) and literally settings. These do not make the product less open source (I do not dare to use the term free). Linux is free software, however RedHat is not. You can do everything with the OSS version you can with the VS Code.

However, there are extensions delivered in the Brand VS Code (Remote Server SSH/Docker/WSL) which are closed source (which compete against Eclipse Che). And that makes since a bit muddy.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that there's no such thing as a "no brainer" when it comes to giving instruction to a broad group of people (and "broad" might be as small as n=10).

You know the rules of program optimization? (#1 Don't #2 (for experts only) Don't yet). I suspect that illustrates the issue that experts are having here. Yes, in any program there are optimizations to be done that can change margins that matter. But without deeper experience even the average practitioner is unlikely to have good judgment about this. So the experts have to balance the effectiveness of higher-resolution explanations where details will get lost in translation (likely degrading any marginal gains to be had) with a low-resolution blanket rule that sacrifices potential gains for an acceptable average.

Several kinds of masks appear to be several degrees of marginally effective, but it's probably very difficult to give this guidance to the public without some segment of it hearing "I need N95 masks" and scrambling after supply, because "Any mask might be helpful to get me to be conscientious about touching my face and provide a marginal droplet barrier, N95s are for people spending time with the sick" is a higher resolution message that's subject to a lot of social/individual entropy.
Right, and if the United States merged with a cross section of less developed countries our GDP per capita would look smaller, too.

> you can't compel grocery store workers to work

No but organizing to not work as a group is something else.
I don't think "hazard pay" has any legally defined meaning in the US. it might imply that they are only demanding the 2x pay for the duration of the crisis.
You can try Yr: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nrk.yr&hl=e...
It is an app made by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute afaik and works quite well all over the world. I'm curious on how well it works where you live! They have open API's as well: https://api.met.no
> I'd bet that if Amazon agreed to all demands but that one that the workers who organized this would be ECSTATIC.

Yeah, except item 1 is "Guaranteed paid leave for all workers who isolate or self-quarantine instead of coming to work."

I imagine that if Amazon agreed to that one demand, the workers would be ECSTATIC, because it allows them to get paid whether or not they decide to keep coming to work.

I'm not diminishing the seriousness of the pandemic or saying people don't deserve sick leave or allowances for quarantine- but offering unrestricted full pay to everyone who chooses not to come to work is madness. Why would the employees care if the store gets shut down - they can simply stay home. Why would the employees care about sanitation? They can simply stay home. Etc etc etc.

I encourage you to give the podcast a listen. Hygiene and sanitation conditions for farm workers are horrific. The not-yet-realized future where undocumented farm workers successfully cross the border, then fall ill, is even worse. Now you have little or no crop, or contaminated crops, and a bunch of very sick people.
>if you started wilfully sharing that data or details about how to access it with persons other than the owners of the system then you could start to get into the problematic zone

Here I disagree, assuming we are still talking about the USA. There are strong freedom of speech implications when you make sharing the fact that some company left their S3 bucket world-readable a criminal offense. Would the New York Times be open to criminal prosecution for publishing such information on their front page?

Very tightly-defined, personally-identifiable data I can see being protected. Things like financial and medical records, sensitive search queries etc. but general disclosure of security issues should not be something that is criminal.

And ended with:

> And I know we're not alone and that there are other places (even in my immediate geographical area) that have waste well in excess of what we're pissing away.

That was my point. I perfectly (okay, maybe not perfectly, but well enough to understand that it's not worth my time to pursue) understand why and how these things happen, it isn't my first rodeo. And, honestly, I think I'd probably applaud the guy for figuring out how to get _damn near every one in SV_ to open up their fat fucking VC wallets to the man if it weren't for his business practices, like what we see in TFA.
I'm surprised I didn't see any comments about Weather Nerd [0]. I used to use Dark Sky but switched to this for more (at least in my opinion) features. I've been using it for a couple years and quite like it. It also has a "is it going to rain in the next hour"-type feature I use a lot.

Thanks, I didn't consider training of models, this is a great use case for a tool.
I think this is the closest I've seen to a concise answer to the 10X programmer's advantage. Earlier in my career, I noticed a fellow programmer who was quite noticeably faster at completing tasks than everyone else including myself. We also had a coding competition and I 'programmed' as fast as he did in direct comparison on the same task. So it turns out, the performance boost was not in raw coding speed but a lot of other things like not being distracted, being ok with a great but not the greatest design, getting to work and avoiding analysis paralysis. A sense of urgency from day one on a project.

When competing head to head for a fun competition, many of these things come naturally but when given 'time' it can be easy to fall back to less productive habits when a deadline is months away.

> Your claim is that real estate builds wealth for one person (or in aggregate, particular people).

No, leaving out the critical piece does not represent my claim. Rather you're just shoehorning into the traditional narrative that each person trying to build the most individual wealth inductively extrapolates to society as a whole becoming richer.

The critical part of my claim is:

> For the larger system consisting of all 6 people, it's a net loss

Not merely a loss for 5 and a gain for 1, but a net loss for all 6 parties summed together. Draw a boundary around them and analyze cross-boundary flow. The interest payments flow away, meaning the group is worse off even though the landlord individually benefits.

Our economy is based around debt rather than positive wealth. For someone to have financial wealth, others must be in debt. The shining ideal where everybody is financially independent is impossible under the current system. And the more the financial bubble grows in relation to actual physical wealth, the truer this becomes.

Agreed twice. Zig is doing some really neat stuff, and Jai is... an idea.
The 1200s was the end of the Medieval Warm Period, the rise of the Bubonic Plague, also associated with a number of famines that wiped out huge portions of the European population. It was a time of great upheaval, so correlating to taxes is just a weird metric. It's interesting to note the decline in lead but I would assume this to be true of any period which led to population decline.
Would it be illegal for Amazon’s competitors to extend job offers to those who are at risk of being fired for going on strike? (If the fear is being fired as retaliation)

>> -Guaranteed paid leave for all workers who isolate or self-quarantine instead of coming to work.

> This should be required by law of all employers.

All businesses should be required to tell every employee "You don't have to come in to work for the duration of the crisis, unless you feel like it. But you'll get paid regardless."?
Yes I am probably being tautological!
It really makes a huge impact on this conversation to say "billions" and "2.5M" and "200k," so thanks for pointing all of this stuff out. Leave it to HN to get buried in a pedantic technicality that has no effect on the points being made.
I don't disagree with you that it's a crappy situation. A lot of SaaS providers ldap/AD sync so you can authz off of groups and do automatic revocation. Enterprise integrations suck exactly because of these kinds of things. while adding a key per SP may get you further down the authz path, it doesn't solve the revocation part and also doesn't provide a way to do more advanced authz -- The natural evolution of an app that will authorize access to a subset of users will be to add roles for users, giving them different privileges, and then you're back to a custom authz protocol.
Those BSD tools do not protect the system’s users against their tools, they protect the tool’s programmers against themselves (which, in turn, will make users trust those tools better)

They also do so at runtime, which means they can restrict themselves much more than a generic configuration can.

Once you’ve stated, for example, “this execution of this tool will only read standard input and write file F”, nothing you do, whether it is sloppy programming or the use of third party libraries with bugs, can change that.

We need to ban most consumer uses of plastic. Plastic is much like nuclear waste, it's harmful to life, and takes thousands to millions of years to degrade. Outside of uses like medical devices or smaller electronic devices, plastic is just wasteful. At the supermarket, I just cringe when I see a single banana or apple wrapped in plastic wrap. And I shudder to imagine the future health effects all the microplastic beads in the water supply are doing to us.
