I'm looking forward to M-Stream for multi-dimensional data - but I have one question for that. Is there some preferred approach for selecting features in multi-dimensional anomaly detection?

Because I wonder if given enough dimensions, everything would be anomalous. Kind of like p-hacking works (at p=0.05 one of twenty hypotheses is falsely accepted just by sheer luck).

Those are valid points. I think those are mostly covered already under existing legal precedents for freedom of speech. I don't see any reason they should change based on the medium.

As to your point of information that can potentially do harm, who gets to be the judge of that? That seems like it can be very controversial and subjective.

So far the courts have erred on the side of only ruling against things that pretty much everyone agrees upon and I think we should stick with that.

Having objective criteria for limits to speech is important.
Otherwise we run into scenarios where people start claiming "your opinions and words I don't agree with are considered violence against me". At which point ALL speech is fair game.

Do we know that that is the driver of California’s improved outcomes vs (for example) climate? I believe illinois was similarly early (at least relative to its phase of progression if not absolute date) but I believe the outcomes are worse there, certainly on a population adjusted basis.

> For the shop, the labor cost is already sunk.

For me this means - "labor hours are constrained, so I should spend them wisely". If I wanted to buy more labor hours, I have to hire a new person and pay more money. That means preferring jobs where the markup is on non-labor things i.e. new parts. As long as my job pipeline is full and my employees are at 100% utilization, preferring less labor-intensive jobs will drive greater profits. Because I can complete more jobs overall, leading to more revenue.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that the markup on labor is higher than the markup on parts. But if you're betting on higher profits by selling more labor hours, then you're also constrained by physical space, your ability to hire labor and pay a competitive wage, the risk of a downturn etc. It's almost like software consulting vs software products. Selling products is always going to be more scalable and profitable.

Is my logic wrong somewhere?
I don't know why this comment was downvoted - it's a legitimate question.

One scenario I can picture is the Netflix app on your TV. Firstly, they create a neural network trained on the video data in their library and ship it to all their clients while they are idle. They could then stream very high-quality video at lower bandwidth than they currently use and, assuming decoding can be done quickly enough, provide a great experience for their users. Any updates to the neural network could be rolled out gradually and in the background.

> Just today, Medtronic CEO boasted that their ventilator uses 1 million lines of code. How much of this is the test code? Can requirements be traced to the code and code to the requirements?

I have friends that used to work in the medical device industry. Processes there are pretty strict, so it might very well be the case that they do. However, 1 million lines of code is a lot so I would still be worried about bugs.

> Another example: how many projects on GitHub provide a comprehensive list of requirements/features? If you don't have a traceable list of requirements you don't know what you are building (or testing).

That's a bit different. That's usually people scratching their own itch.

> And, on your job: how many projects you worked on that have a comprehensive list of requirements?

I don't know that a comprehensive list is what is valuable. What is valuable is being able to explain the provenance of a particular piece of code. The best way to do that is with version control. With version control, you can usually figure out why the specific piece of code was written either because:

1. The commit referenced an ticket in a work ticket database

2. The commit has an explanation for the change in the commit description

3. The commit contains a code comment or a piece of documentation that explains the change

I think many people assume that they need a separate master database of requirements, and so only (1) is valid. However, whenever I've had to do maintenance on a piece of legacy code, the version control system has been my most reliable source of truth.

Of course, a lot of these old mainframe systems were built before proper version control techniques were developed. Revamping them is going to benefit greatly from advances in those techniques.
I've been wanting to make some .NET apps for our family's use (like a timer etc.) but don't know C# so I figured maybe I should just start off learning F# since I have a FP background. So is F# pretty much Rust but with GC? Or is it more like TypeScript -- in the sense that it's based on OCaml which maps nicely to JS (i.e. ReasonML) -- but also with sum types?
My thinking is that SAP doesn't have that kind of culture like Amazon has, nor do they operate at Amazon-like speeds, so I would say the risk would be minimal for a decent startup. Hell they might even try to buy you at first, not the worst thing in the world!
The goal here is to ease integrations with both the SAP ERP and CRM solutions.

Historical integrations relied on middleware, proprietary libraries, and likely custom ABAP code.
At previous company there was a home built service which was a database of unhandled Java exceptions. It attempted to generate a hash value so that you could see how often exceptions were happening, and graph them over time.

Highly imperfect of course, and it created separate entries for some exceptions that included random numbers in their message. But it did put pressure on people to clean them up.

If they really insist, they will be quoted a rewrite to another framework, plus more because we will hate to do that.

In practice we find solutions, such as installing chrome or using mobile devices. I know it depends on the domain and the country, but companies with outdated desktop pc running only internet explorer are becoming rare. We prefer to refuse one of them than wasting time supporting outdated environments.
There is no reason an SFU couldn't run everything over one port though! Then you can just use the 3-tuple to route stuff to the proper connection.

Someone is doing this right now for Pion, really excited to see it. I am especially excited to see what it means for deploys, right now asking people to expose port ranges adds so much overhead vs 1 UDP and 1 TCP for media.
Programming languages are the biggest tar pit. Too often I get distracted by language features instead of just doing what works.

A while ago I interviewed for a senior fullstack role with a very homogenous team at Apple -- every single person on the team had been converted from the same consulting company (I believe it was Wipro).

It was a bizarre interview with three of the engineers on the team on the same call asking me very specific programming language trivia and nothing about my experience nor ability to navigate complex political structures -- you know, the things that you would expect a senior fullstack engineer to have before advancing them to the next round.

Unsurprisingly, I wasn't advanced to the next round. In light of this article, I can't help but wonder if it was all a ruse to simply demand another nepotistic FTE conversion from their same consultancy.
Crystal has Lucky and Amber — both are reasonable for small fun projects. They're still missing what makes Rails Rails, though. Rails is much more than MVC. It's the Ruby ecosystem and the tooling that really allow Rails to become what it is, and that is hyper-productive. You don't spend time reinventing the wheel, you spend time working on domain-specific problems.

Sure, chicken vs egg, but while everyone is hopping from language to language, framework to framework, packaging system to packaging system because they saw it on Reddit or HN, I'll be over here shipping Ruby and contributing to the Crystal ecosystem in my spare time.

That doesn't seem like a particular relevant critique here; it's not like naturally occurring corporate boards or some universal law of fiduciary duty are things we've observed outside of humanity.

Docker Compose has always been an awesome file format, built on top of an idiosyncratic orchestration engine that doesn't interoperate well with anything else.

Writing a spec is a good first step! If work is underway to make this a shared multi-service dev environment that works across Kubernetes, ECS, etc, that would be even better.

When I read the spec, there are ominous words about partial implementations. That makes me nervous. But I'm cautiously optimistic.

A custom intermediary needs to perform some expensive operations, such as decryption and re-encryption of the DTLS and SRTP going through it. It's much simpler and cheaper to just forward packets.
That is a silly question. The debate about Medicare for All or Climate Change is based around one group of people wanting everyone to have access to healthcare and/or not destroying the environment (Thus saving lives). While the discussion of stopping 5G is about destroying expensive equipment and assaulting the techs that go out to fix the destroyed equipment.

The only way this could be comparable if someone threaten or assaulted you to get Medicare for all or stop Climate Change.

Ask HN: Good open-source software documentation examples
Hi !

I'm doing some research on how to improve/make appleseed[1] documentation. Appleseed is an open-source rendering software and we need both user and developer documentations such as:
- Guide on how to use appleseed
- Detailed docs on how appleseed is working
- Developer documentation (API reference, contribution guide, getting started)

So if there is a documentation that you really like, please share it :)(whether it's about rendering or not, for user and/or for developers)

This is not a well designed website. The names of the colors aren't even searchable (because it's not actual text), and unless Japanese people read roman letters differently than we do, letters rotated 90 degrees is awful for readability and should never be used. Text color is also never adapted to background color, pick "Sakura" for example and the white foreground text is completely unreadable.

But its not necessarily the defaults. The article isn't clear if the private services are on 127/8 or the TURN server has access to other things in the DMZ/VPC/whatever.

I'm guessing its actually the latter as everyone is so fond of the 1:1 VM/container->service model. Meaning its likely a config problem with the denied-peer-ips the parent here links.
"containerize" is a very loaded/subjective term. In my experience, the best container-like boundary for .NET Core applications would be the process itself. AppDomains and related fanfare don't really exist anymore, and the process is the only common abstraction across all platforms that shares most of the same principles. It's always been the best grain to go along IMO.
There are partial implementations because some of the things in the existing spec are just not a good match for ECS or Kubernetes, for example. The aim is to fix those things in the spec. There are conformance tests so we can hopefully start checking implementations soon.

> What else should they do?

They should do what NNTP & SMTP clients did for years: prefix each line with '> ', prepend a line like 'IshKebab writes:' and place the cursor at the end of the quoted material.
Thanks for the response. We did consider that, but the nature of our platform would be spin-out or duplicate. The stack requires contracts from CDN's, which would have to be further extended, increasing burn rate, and more importantly, at the end of the day, we're only two people. So with that in mind, you're saying hard pivot, I believe. Thank you for the feedback!
>If you saw someone drop it, sure. If you know the owner of the hundred dollar bill, sure. But otherwise?

Presumably the owner would retrace their steps and try to find what was lost. Most people would do this for a hundred dollars, but you can also imagine a child doing it for a quarter. Is it theft if you say you haven't seen it? How about if you never run into the person but intended to say you haven't seen it?

At what point it becomes "theft" is tenuous at best. I'd rather call many things "theft" and withhold judgment until I learn the details as it limits instantaneous judgments upon hearing of a thief.

As for your definition, at what point something becomes unlawful is never clear, and nobody's actual definitions for concepts ever mirror a dictionary definition.
> Is this not what the likes of Consumer Reports is for?

It's a stop-gap solution, yes. Unfortunately, AFAIK there's nothing like this in my country, at least not trustworthy. For general electronics, I trust WireCutter and have never been anything but completely happy by just buying one of their top recommendations in a given category.

The question is, is the complexity of our lives all necessary, or is most of it incidental? And regardless, the point is: existence of this complexity makes the market mechanisms of ranking of products and services quite weak.
I'll have to go through the disclosures before I speak more confidently about the recent equity activity in CCL, but PIF did very recently disclose they acquired 43.5 million shares, a 8.2% stake in CCL. This makes PIF their second-largest investor. This surely contributed in CCLs ability to do a rapid raise right after.

Covid won’t do much to supply chains.

China’s decisions regarding intellectual property and trade secrets (IP), however, haven’t changed and are the reason my (large) employer has stopped sending anything sensitive there. We still sell to China but any IP entering the country is assumed as forfeit.

Other countries are becoming more competitive even outside of IP considerations.

I think we’ll see more and more “the Chinese economy” and “the US Et al economy” but mainly divided by IP. Covid will be a minor blip on that scene.
