> Because I can't think of a single one.

This is beyond and silly and pedantic. We are all supposed to rely on what YOU can and cannot think of?

If you really want some mathematical objectivity then maybe go read through Serge Lang's Algebra and come back with me on which parts you found to be subjective. You might find some!

> Which of these observations were purely objective?

Sigh ... so you have an anecdote of something that at a particular point in time was unproven and conjectured. That status allowed others to make subjective claims against it. And you are using this to try to argue that everything at all times is never objective? That is silly. Can you really not see the flaw in your logic here? The clue word was: anecdote.

> The choice of what to observe and what to report

I never made this differentiation anywhere in my comment. I pointed at blatant intellectual dishonesty which is stating things either false or in a fashion that might provide a more naive reader with a false pretense or to perhaps make something concrete appear ambiguous, etc.

You are trying to restrict all possible forms of intellectual dishonesty to reporting bias. You are doing this is either out of ignorance or intellectual dishonesty. I am guessing the latter as you seem to have no moral contention with it.

And yes, you can have things that are not subject to bias. Dropping an apple from a window always causes the apple to fall towards the earth and not away from it.

This conversation is pointless because you are either a troll or a supremely dishonest individual.

It's good for various sorts of low-volume production, particularly prototyping. But yes, the hype about 3d printing putting factories out of business is very silly.
Wasn't even told that about those things in HS chemistry in my time in my country, not sure why - considered too dangerous knowledge by educators? Only found out about it on 4chan and gasped on how easily we could have accidentally injured ourselves while cleaning our dorm bathroom.

Truly intelligent automation: beyond machine learning and RPA
That line of thinking would've made sense a year ago, but the problem now is that "the unexpected happened". Now even things that cost $1-5 to manufacture can't be manufactured fast enough to meet demand (which is probably something like 100 million to 1 billion masks). If we can't get PPE to all of the healthcare workers or even most of them (and right now we can't) then there's no way they should go to the general public.

Stocks function as a medium of exchange for the vast majority of cases. Squatting on a dollar to make interest isn't abusing the dollar.

Web domains function in a thousand different ways, and in some cases a medium of exchange metaphor may work (e.g. people want the domain to make more money). In this case, it's more akin to hoarding hand sanitizer and toilet paper until people have to pay scalper's rates out of fear of repercussion. The only reason this is a story is because of the security risks it presents, and holding that risk hostage is pretty obviously unsociable behavior (even if it is Microsoft's dime).

I didn't see this covered in this article and I don't remember. How were the coefficients for these differential equations calculated?

Hi y'all, Pipedream co-founder and engineer here. We shipped the first version of Pipedream last October, and have heard a lot of requests for an API and CLI to programmatically manage workflows. We shipped the first public version of both, and this README highlights how you can use them to run any Node.js code on a schedule.

For example, you can use the CLI to run this script every 15 seconds:

echo 'console.log("Hello, world")' > cronjob.js
pd deploy --run cronjob.js --timer --frequency 15s # cron expressions also supported with --cron

At this stage, we're looking for any and all feedback on these interfaces. What can we improve? What works and what doesn't? What else do you want to do but can't? Let us know in comments here or on our Slack community [1].

Behind the scenes, we package your Node.js code into a Pipedream component [2] - just a terse way to express Node.js code and its metadata in a reusable way. This interface will improve and evolve over time, but we'd love any feedback y'all have on the component API, too.

If you haven't explored the Pipedream platform at large, give it a go at https://pipedream.com . We let you run serverless workflows, hosted on Pipedream infra, optimized for integrations between services. You can think of us like a Zapier for developers. Check out the docs at

https://docs.pipedream.com

Happy to answer any questions below - thanks for the read!

From my perspective as a data person, everything on this list is true. I would add on to #4 to say "You're likely the only data person" to say "You're likely the only data person and expected to do everything you need to do your job yourself" (from sourcing the data to deploying your model).

High Data Scientist salaries and expectations combined with a shortage of qualified people often mean you're expected to be a one-person band, which I find to be miserable.

When that feeling hits you repeatedly maybe the problem is on your end. For instance, when you use supply and demand in the opposite way of what 'normal' people do then you are asking for not being understood.
This reads like sort of a grand collection of mostly legitimate individual technical complaints about a lot of things JavaScript / Browser.

But I still can't get past the fact that when I work for a company that wants to write a web app it is just like magic that it works across all these operating systems, phones, and etc provided they have a capable browser.

To me that utility is amazing. I don't see how to get around that, and for all the issues listed, I don't see a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater / not really sure what the alternative is supposed to be.

As for privacy, if we weren't doing things in a browser as much and you had to install an app... would OSes be a better host / not have all these issues?

> Apple seems to have improved on those designs

I'm not sure the Apple design was influenced by Prusa at all. The curved plastic is basically universal, and was present in face shields long before the coronavirus crisis. Some face shields used a rigid molded plastic shield, but that's obviously much harder to manufacture. If the shield is made of flexible plastic, something is clearly needed to tension it; the Prusa design used a rigid printed component, and Apple used another flexible component.
Author here! Ha, I'm a big follower of Patrick, specially his microconfs! I didn't know he had an article an article on the subject, thanks for linking it!

However I agree with him!

What happens is that in my experience I've yet to encouter a case where what I suggest in the blog doesn't work. No doubt that there will be cases where it will not be enough. But by reading Patrick's article, clearly the complexity of the system needed to handle all the cases would be huge!
So I guess one has to compromise :)
A Tiger Has Contracted Covid-19. Should We Be More Worried About Pets?
Honestly, if what you're doing works, go for it. Using javascript/html as an internal tool for UI building seems like a fairly decent use-case. You could write your UI in some sort of native toolkit like QT/Gtk/etc but then you're pumping dev cycles into making something that already exists and works fine...for what? If everyone who uses your UIs already has a browser, then you've hit a sweet spot: your client software is already pre-installed on all the machines you need it to be, and the rest is serving HTML/javascript.

The alternatives for you are probably pretty time-intensive for you and probably annoying for your users ("hey, install this program/app/etc"). I'd say if you want to rely less on JS and use more server-generated HTML, PHP might be the simplest option for you. People around here shit on PHP, but PHP was "serverless" before it was cool and has a lot of tools to do exactly what you're doing. But again, ask yourself what you gain by switching to another technology.
Right... but that would mean that what you are querying google for doesn't change. The coordinates of the trains would even only be along their route. Once you have done a reverse lookup on enough points along the route, you should have a pretty dense idea of where the neighborhoods change, right?

I am not sure if I'm missing some big, but it really seems like there wouldn't be an ongoing need for querying google's APIs in this case. Finding the boundaries of the neighborhoods and especially labeling stops should be easy enough to do if it would save so much money.
It's easy to see that a lot of countries will be rethinking their supply chains. Especially everything concerning the medical industry.

re: "How about not letting the index overflow..."

I'm fairly certain a real hardware VGA implementation would maintain that index as an unsigned 8-bit value. There's no letting the index overflow, per se. It should overflow back to zero when incremented at 0xFF. The mistake was representing it as anything other than an 8-bit number because that's what the hardware really would have done.

If I had the patience (and a machine close at hand) I'd boot MS-DOS and run thru a little test in DEBUG to see how it acts on a real card to write beyond address 0xFF via the auto-increment feature.

Most of the palette-cycling / setting code I ever wrote just updated the entire palette at once and stopped. I can't think of any particular reason why somebody would want to overflow the DAC write index but it should work. (I suppose there's probably some demoscene code out there somewhere that repeatedly updates the entire palette, outputting to the address write register once then just banging on 0x3c9 repeatedly...)
At least they didn't warn against the dangers of holding a match in front of a can of WD-40.
What do you mean by modern? Does QT not cut it? Tk might even be fine, depending on what you're doing—it runs on anything and is supported by damn near every language, one way or another.
I use docker compose, along with swarm, for multiple services. I love being able to manage/deploy a stack with them.
I'm kind of similar although I stll work on Java/Kotlin enterprise apps professionally and do JavaScript for hobby projects.

And I must actually say that it's a joy to work in modern JavaScript. It has some very nice features (async/await, destructuring, null coalescing, functional features) which make it expressive and succint. It has decent performance as well, nice (lack of) tooling (no need to compile anything!)

I probably would not do a huge project with it though (TS would be better fit there).

I'm not sure I understand this argument. Are you speaking of sick people coming into the hospital during this pandemic or overall? Because I can ensure you, many hospitalizations are not due to a lack of PPE. Broken hips are not caused by a lack of PPE; myocardial infractions are not caused by a lack of wearing gloves; nor is a person falling into a diabetic comma caused by not wearing PPE.

But, if you're talking about during this pandemic, it was inherently clear that there was a lack of supplies to begin with and panic buying/hoarding would not help the situation. Now don't get me wrong, I am not condoning the actions of any government--I feel as if they did drop the ball--but there was a dire need of any available PPE to be given priority to first responders and frontline healthcare workers. When you're physician gets ill and eventually passes, that PT load is now given to another physician who is putting their life on the life. We need to protect those on the frontlines who are protecting us or else there will be nobody left.
The time to swap between colors is killing me. I want to move through them quickly.
A lot more of the ES2015+ features are supported by browsers today than people seem to think as well. A large number of people still think of things like arrow functions, let/const, async/await, and so forth as "esnext" features when in many cases they are "estoday". (Assuming of course you don't need to support IE11, and good luck if you do.) While TC39 has been trying to be very strict about backwards compatibility, there's still a ton of room for language evolution and it's been moving at a rather aggressive pace.

Also, it's hard to call any language like (Q)BASIC or Javascript a "toy language" when it is used to build so many real world practical applications. The esoteric programming language is full of some truly interesting toy languages. Both Javascript and almost every flavor of BASIC has powered real world applications for decades. The underlying fundamentals/foundation of JS is sound enough that many things have been accomplished with the language, even if it isn't aesthetically pleasing to some (or sometimes betrays its very rough, "quick and dirty" development origins).

(Then there's of course the digression in whether or not WASM is also building a sound VM option for languages that really don't want to work with JS directly on the web/in web browsers.)
Ipsec is in-kernel. I don't know if it's offloading some work into user space, though.
Also consider:

- For some websites (e.g. government) it is important not to "lose" even 1% of the potential userbase -- it's another type of accessibility

- For some websites, IE 11 usage will be considerably more than 1% in the first place

Yep, if a hospital has a couple of 3D printers donated to them, by all means, make something. I am mostly concerned with the coverage from the media.

From what I understand, probably not.

iTunesConnect has had an overhaul in recent years to give it a much shinier and more reliable frontend. I believe the original was closer to the original WebObjects code, and now they've extracted out the user-facing bit into something a bit more modern. There's a lot of legacy WebObjects stuff around the iTunes backend, and my guess is that it's good engineers held back by old tech, rather than just bad engineers.

Ask HN: SDE to DevOps – what should I be learning?
Hey HN, I am currently a SDE transitioning into a DevOps lead at my company and am looking for advice on what I should be looking out for in this new role.

I have been reading up on technologies currently being used in the industry here (https://landscape.cncf.io/) to try and understand where we should invest our time.

For DevOps, we currently use Jenkins for CI/CD and AWS products. We use a blend of EC2 instances with Elastic Beanstalk for deployment. We haven't really needed to push the envelope on using Docker/Kubernetes yet.

Where is DevOps going? What should a DevOps engineer be preparing for now so that they're ahead of the curve in 1/2 years?
