I agree with this, and I think data librarian is a role that any "data-driven" company needs. IMO it makes a lot of sense for data scientists to fill that role, but I think that's an issue for many. Data scientists may think being a librarian and organizing the knowledge base is beneath them, or maybe management thinks it's beneath them. Execs tend to not care about the state of knowledge infrastructure as long as their reports get to them when they expect.

> If you are going to continue to attack a complete straw man of my arguments

It would be a strawman if the arguments against which I'm arguing were of my construction, but they don't seem to be.

> Your entire argument is predicated on 1) Damien, at almost 18 years of age, having absolutely no culpability for his actions, and 2) that he has shown genuine remorse for his actions, despite receiving essentially no punishment for a premeditated murder attempt and having shown no signs of remorse until he was asked to comment on the story.

Meanwhile, your entire argument appears to be predicated on 1) Damien, at less than 18 years of age and therefore legally and (arguably) psychologically a child, was somehow a perfectly rational actor with unquestionable culpability for his actions and was perfectly able to resist manipulation (which began, mind you, at 15, if not earlier) by adults wanting to use him as a tool for their hateful agendas, and 2) that he should be considered guilty of continued antisemitic beliefs/associations until proven innocent.

I won't pretend to know what that says about your personal character projections, but your argument is visibly just as speculative. Neither of us have enough information to judge that aspect of his character. Unlike you, apparently, I prefer forgiveness and the presumption of innocence in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

That's not to say that I don't judge him for being complicit in other immoralities, though (namely: being a current perpetrator of and accomplice to an unethical and likely-Constitutionally-illegal surveillance state, and his own resulting perpetration of such a state's implicit guilt-until-proven-innocence attitude).

> I would encourage you to extend the same level of generosity and charitableness you seem to show Damien Patton to the next person who challenges your worldview.

Like I said: I don't care who he is or how successful he became after apparently turning his life around. I just care that he apparently turned his life around and stopped associating with violently-antisemitic groups. If you have evidence indicating that he did not, then by all means present it and I'll gladly reassess.

And this is a standard I apply to all humans universally (both in theory and - as I grow older and hopefully more mature - increasingly in practice). I haven't exactly kept my attitudes and beliefs and opinions around rehabilitation-over-retribution and its impact on recidivism much of a secret over the years, whether here on HN and elsewhere on the World Wide Web.

I've given the benefit of the doubt to people who have done worse, specifically because I have the self-awareness to understand that people can and do change on the scale of decades (I know I've changed a lot in just one).

code-server: Run VS Code on a remote server
Hi, OP here,

I started working on this app a couple of weeks ago, trying to iterate on Singapore's contact-tracking app by adding data anonymization and decentralization features.

I ended up with a solution that is similar to the D3P-T, with some implementation differences.

The app is available as an APK for Android [1]. As for now, the iOS app is not easy to distribute, as Apple does not allow coronavirus-related apps to be published on the app store.

Software is also weird when it comes to skills. While the total domain knowledge possible in software is absolutely massive, the set of baseline skills required to rapidly learn new domains and perform is surprisingly small. Any good programmer can learn a new language and a new portion of the stack within at least year, probably less, because the core skills of the profession are very very small.

It’s not clear to me how common this is in human endeavors.

Maybe I should edit the comment to say "... feed as many people as we do at the cost that we do..." because while it's true we can gain the same land productivity with less advanced equipment, it would seem that the total labor cost to do so would make overall food cost very high.

Bear in mind that there are always limits in how guaranteed a "guaranteed delivery" actually is. "Exactly once" means that the broker has received it and the client has acknowledged that. What happens beyond the broker is outside the scope of the protocol and would have to be handled at the application level, eg using transaction ids, etc.
Here's a little test for your company and your website.

The barrier of entry to what? Sure, the barrier of entry to autonomous cars without drivers is extremely high, but even if Uber is the only one in the market that possessed the technology, they wouldn't be able to drive market prices for taxis higher than the cost of a drive in a manned car. I don't know about you, but I have no real preference for driving in an unmanned car if the manned option is significantly cheaper.

> decentralized is something techies obsess about but that has as of yet no business value whatsoever.

I don't really understand that point. If it works, then it has the business value of saving you all running server and maintenance costs. For most larger businesses these costs may be insignificant and easily recovered, but for small businesses with a lot of customers they can make a huge difference. For example, I'm looking into P2P options for implementing a decentralized message forum in a game-like emulator and it would make no sense to even implement this feature with constant running costs for server space.

Now getting the decentralized data management to work reliably out-of-the-box from behind various firewalls and different platforms, that's the big problem. So far, none of the libraries I've seen are very easy to use, some require a difficult installation and configuration or you need to your own STUN server or gateway, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Thanks for sharing!
Feels like you've thought about this.

I've worked on software projects for safety environments - SIL-4 - as well as telematics, and I share your pain.

But it's always amusing how far telematics folks will go to avoid certification for SIL-4. The whole telematics industry should just bite the bullet and catch up with, for example, the decades of experience the rail transportation guys have in making all those pieces fit.
you are hopelessly naive if you think this is a coincidence
True. You could create an open standard for this, and then people can self-host their own social servers. I don't think that's what the gp was proposing, though.

And that's not going to be the norm. Most people don't want to self-host their email server, or even pay for it. They're happy trading their privacy for free gmail, and most don't even realise that this is a problem.

So as Nextgrid pointed out: that shifts the problem one step down the ladder. A commercial social client requires someone to pay for it.
> Wouldn't it be nice if looking at some part of code you could say that it actually is calling microservices X, Y and Z and no other microsevices?

What always makes me a bit uneasy about that is the absence of proper escape hatch in functional langs. I am not old and yet I have already been in time-critical situations - where all you have is sometimes only a few minutes - to do a quick hack that will save a few more hours to actually investigate and do the proper fix (think physical installations).

And, I would really not call unsafePerfomIO a proper escape hatch given the big attached warning that comes with it:

> If the I/O computation wrapped in unsafePerformIO performs side effects, then the relative order in which those side effects take place (relative to the main I/O trunk, or other calls to unsafePerformIO) is indeterminate.
Upvoting this comment (and its informative responses) because I was equally as confused by the wording in that phrase.
That's a great analogy. Breaking down concepts like this helps a lot more than most people realise...

That's dated. This used to be true, absolutely. But the size of various eco-systems is such that if you want to really master something now you have to invest a lot of time and if you bet on the wrong horse then you can lose a lot of time and effort for little return. Front end is especially brutal in this sense.

because like most systems you tend to only hear the horror stories but the vast majority never experience an issue. I replaced my previous 2013 iMac only because updates to its Nvidia video card were no longer occurring.

I have only owned iMacs since they switched to Intel, starting with a 24 inch to having passed through to my third 27 model. I never once had an issue other than software related.

Now I do agree with many that have stated that Apple should long go have ditched spinning hard drives and I am still amazed they did not. I would like to see some hard evidence of failure rates, I doubt it could be as bad as many think it is but considering how long Apple recently allowed their keyboard issues to manifest I could be wrong
This talk gained some controversy because the comparison with AngularJS wasn't very fair, IIRC they weren't using some basic optimizations like $index with ngRepeat, which would've been the best practice. React requires the key property for similar purposes and actually displays a console error if you forget it, unlike AngularJS for $index.
Jitsi is much worse in a number of ways. If you use it casually with small crowds then it’s prob fine. Otherwise the pains of Jitsi are huge for the year I had to use it a lot.
In theory one could implement the "supernode" model using WebRTC, turning the client with the best connection into a middlebox as well. In practice I suppose many meetings don't have any clients with a connection that could support that kind of bandwidth requirements.

Art isn't exclusive to humans though we excel at it. And certainly computers can create paintings, music, etc which is art. There was a time when "artists" claimed photographs weren't art and photographers weren't artists. It's just people selfishly trying to ward off competition and protect their financial interests. They needn't worry. Just because computers can create art doesn't mean human artists will disappear no more than computers playing chess put an end to human chess players.

Europe’s Mining Opportunity: Bitcoin Halvening 2020
I too (as other commentators did) appreciate this article. My relationship with music has always been less predictable and easy to understand than I'd like it to be. I have always loved music, but as I've gotten older and stabler and healed more from earlier psychological hardships (and maybe just matured from a young adult into an adult), my connection to it and its ability to make me feel have receded. For some reason, it is only in my moments of greatest need that I am able to reach inside and access an extremely strong, resonant connection -- whether it is listening to it, or writing it.

But maybe it's that way for a reason. I still have scars on my arm from putting my fist through a glass window as an angsty teen. They remind me of how I too could be someone who "could have lost his second arm had he lost the battle to his inner demons." I probably would have struggled to articulate this earlier, but as the article states, "...I learned to stop just stewing and being mad and wallowing in that feeling. I learned to do something about things that made me mad and this was the best thing I ever learned." This hits home for me. I was a lot more rootlessly, aimlessly, existentially depressed earlier on in my life and in my career. Depressed in a way that made it very easy for me to have a very strong and particular kind of connection to music, but which served as a stand-in for an inability to do something about my woes. Once I began to get better at solving the root causes of my woes, my life improved, but that very specific kind of connection to music faded. I was never a professional, but perhaps what's true for the drummer is true for me: "The music was still in there. It just needed to be redirected elsewhere."

Thanks again for this article, OP.
I did that after a metalworking incident (large greasy shaft with a burr slipped through my fingers), you can't even see the scar and my finger was cut open all the way to the bone.
Nothing stops someone from creating a competitor to Coil that also uses the Web Monetization API emerging standard and that competitor accepting subscriptions in another currency, including crypto. That’s one reason why it’s such a compelling idea.
I think the most important point is not so much that you should never use an alarm (I do regularly), but that if you're unsure of whether you actually get enough sleep, it is worth finding out how much sleep you need, and ensure you get it, whether by adjusting your bedtime or your alarm time, or ensuring you compensate every few days.

Too many people don't know how much sleep their body would want if unconstrained by alarms. Once you know, you can get decent results of manipulating when you get that sleep with alarms. But if you don't know it's very easy to be near constantly sleep deprived.
