I guess part of my issue, is that I'm "on the spectrum," so my drivers and motivations are very different from many folks.

I'm not very competitive. In American culture, that makes me a "reject," but I have always felt that I need to get by on my own merit; whether or not that compares favorably to anyone else.

People who know more than I do are not "competitors." They are resources.

The biggest issue that I have with people (and I am guilty of this, myself), is the tendency to ascribe motive to behavior.

In my case, I'm dead wrong -a lot- (See "on the spectrum," above). I've just learned that my projections of motive are usually wrong, so I have come to ignore them, and concentrate on the facts that are on the table (as opposed to in my head).

If I want to impress the teacher, I do good work. If I want to learn the topic, I ask questions to resolve gaps.

It really is that simple.

A class is just a transitory experience. If I fail to learn the subject matter because I'm afraid of what these people that I'll probably never see again think about me, I have no one to blame but myself.
After a few months using Notion at work, I feel such a relief when I get directed to a regular office-style doc (Google docs in our case, but Office would be just as fine).

This week I formally proposed my team move out of Notion for all internal documentation and back to google docs.

Notion is the best and easiest to use wiki there's ever been, I guess, but the reasons I tried wikis before and never stuck with them still apply to it.

There's something interesting about this in tech - jobs that are lucrative, but not great choices for your future. Oracle DBAs can still make a ton of money, but it's not a growth field - so anyone left is probably over 40.
hey HN, so I put together best practices for designing data-driven, enterprise apps.

I tried to be as complete as I could, but I may have missed a good point or two.

So, if you have experience building enterprise apps and have your own additional insights, then I'd love to hear it :)
It’s infuriating how true this seems to be. Especially in politics, so many big-name news sites across the entire political spectrum seem to consistently run stories that collapse instantly when checked.

How on earth do they still exist with a business model that seems to consist solely of making absurd interpretations of YouTube videos and tweets?
Sounds like a reinvention of Lotus Notes with today’s technology.
Sligtly related: how many servers is HN scaled to?
I just subscribed to Uncommon Knowledge, thanks for the reference. I am a very far left liberal, but if I have to talk politics then I prefer to doing so with my conservative friends rather my with liberal friends. I think having my own viewpoint just reflected back at me gets boring.

> German street food is not complete without a Pilsner

German here. For lunch, no one I know ever drinks alcoholic beverages (except maybe when going to a nice restaurant with the whole family on the weekend). And I don't think people are eating street food for dinner all that much, except maybe Döner. But even at Döner places, I don't think I've ever seen people drinking beer. They mostly don't drink anything, and some drink Ayran.
See the comment by lonelappde, but note that the example under discussion here is actually not about `is` vs. `==` either.

No. Imho, a good language designer will make it possible to learn the language incrementally without surprises. For example, a tutorial on a language should not start with "please read the spec first or you may encounter some awkward and counter-intuitive behavior in areas you thought you had already mastered".
Read section "Where is the data stored and who has access to it?"

All data is stored on phone only, till the point someone is marked as Covid+. Then only the beacon tokens are uploaded to a central whitelist, wherein every phone can download and verify if they came in contact. In case of the contact data only for that day is shared.

Primary difference govt. can know only limited data of people who are +ve or came in contact not a perpetual continuous tracking of every mobile.
> Or, you may have missed a critical piece of nuance in their question.

In such case, nuance would be visible from answer.

I am not saying that every question is bad. But had experience of few individuals flooding lectures with too many such questions and it was not good experience. (They did it systematically, but lecturers eventually figured out to how to limit them - but it took multiple stalled lectures for that to happen. )

> CFR is heavily skewed towards the old and frail with significant co-morbidities

Characterizing this demographic as "old and frail" is a bit much. And there's no science limiting this analysis to "significant" comorbidities. I hate to pick on one adjective, but it really seems like you believe that everyone who dies from this disease is at death's door already. There is absolutely no science to support that.

> the majority of the susceptible will succumb to it on the first contact.

And that's not correct at all. Even the most at-risk groups have a 90%+ survival rate.

> One of the lessons that I learned, very early on, is that the person I denigrate now, may the one that I depend on to pull my ass from a fire, down the road.

Why would you denigrate someone in the first place? Imo, the kind thing is not to denigrate anyone, including people that can not possibly be useful.

Data corruption in 3, 2...
The Common Voice Project by Mozilla reached its first goal: 1k hours in englisch
The project wants to build up a dataset to train neural networks for speech recognition software. The first goal for every language is collecting 12000 hours. They have reached this, but they only release a dataset twice a year, that's why you still see 1100 hours at this download.

Other languages are looking good too. Germany has almost reached 600 h, French almost 500 h and the website was localized to many other small and big languages in the last year.

The main factor to build a good dataset is A having a diverse group of donors and B having enough sentences. So if you want to help you can either donate your voice, validate other voices or collect more sentences to record. All three tasks are equally important to create a good dataset.

Oh. That's a linuxism. BSD has never had them, iirc. I don't think any of the other simpler init systems (eg, runit) did either.
The most consistent source of intellectually stimulating talks I have found is, by far, The Great Courses series by The Teaching Company. They're high quality recordings of full college lecture series coving many many topics. Honestly some of the most rewarding content I've consumed in my life.

They can be found on Audible for very fair prices. They also have a video streaming platform, The Great Courses Plus, that's very cheap.
Syrup is cheap, water is cheap, C02 is cheap... for a fountain drink, you are indeed correct. The margins here are crazy.

I assumed this vendor was selling bottled or canned soft drinks. Why that is, I couldn't say (just as I couldn't say why they're renting a dishwasher, why they're paying a linen cleaning service rather than purchasing a washing machine, etc...).
That's describing the development effort for every drug, ever.
Interesting idea. I'm not sure how scalable this would be given the fragile nature of the tools.

I want to believe with enough indications of the monitoring itself (Is the screen being refreshed? Is network connected ? When was it last checked?) that this is a viable option and that would unlock a lot of possibilities.

But I can't shake off the feeling of uneasiness (What if it's not working and we don't know it's not working)

PS: I'm not bashing on what was done, just the general idea.

Math in general is incredibly sloppy with this. I believe it's similar to why churches only read the bible in latin - There's a sort of perverse incentive in keeping arcane symbols around that make the life of the practitioner easier at the expense of the lay-person.

Most formulas students need to learn are actually quite intuitive when you replace the symbol with a one or two word description. But they'd rather force you to memorize the symbol.

It's like forcing you to read obfuscated code. I find it draining with zero benefit to most learners.
Chelation has been used to remove ingested Am, Pu, and Cm. It takes a while, though.
The regulations use a linear no threshold limit to be safe. But it has not been proven that there is a linear no threshold dose response. So I am not incorrect.
The privacy aspect to this is definitely touchy:

> The FCC argued in court that making the millions of IP addresses contained in the logs publicly accessible would constitute an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” And while [Judge Schofield] didn’t entirely disagree, she said the agency had failed to adequately spell out how anyone would be harmed by the disclosure.

> Regardless, Schofield said she also decided to weigh any hypothetical harm against the potential value of the information to the public. “In this case, the public interest in disclosure is great because the importance of the comment process to agency rulemaking is great,” she said, adding: “If genuine public comment is drowned out by a fraudulent facsimile, then the notice-and-comment process has failed.”

The judge also wrote that:

> ...despite the privacy concerns raised by the agency, releasing the logs may help clarify whether fraudulent activity interfered with the comment period, as well as whether the agency’s decision-making process is “vulnerable to corruption.”

Who Invented Toilet Paper–and What Came Before
I can't say that it's specifically the case, but in Montreal, there's been an ever increasing number of vacant commercial spaces - seemingly because they know that "eventually" some BigCo will come along and be willing to pay the extremely high rent. As anecdata, there's a corner space on the ground floor of Duluth and St. Laurent that's been vacant for well over a year - maybe even two. It's pricing out smaller businesses, and even though the space is available and empty, it's just unaffordable and priced far above the true market value.

We don't want more A&W's and Starbucks, but that's what eventually happens here. The only places that survive are bars.
Incorrect. After implementing a lockdown, and getting R<1, essentially brings you back to square one. That's when contact tracing is implemented and lockdown ends. The contact tracing will keep R<1 until a vaccine/better treatments/ICU's are implemented. A secondary lockdown might be needed in case people another outbreak occurs.
Yes, I figured the best way to do it
> At some point, systemd introduced a RemainAfterExit= option, which killed all user started programs when the user logged out. IIRC, this is because of some misbehaving gnome application that wouldn't quit properly.

The backstory is actually enlightening to me. To me, RemainAfterExit just seemed like the obvious sane decision and I actually wondered why it ever was different. When a user logs out, I absolutely want everything cleaned up after them unless they explicitly want something like screen or tmux to linger.

> you need to do some insane things (IMO), like link tmux with libsystemd

That would probably be the easiest choice for the tmux devs. If they don't want to link libsystemd, they could have accessed logind's DBus interface directly (either by calling dbus-send(1) or via libdbus). Contrary to wide-spread belief, systemd does, in fact, present well-defined and documented interfaces that other daemons can implement as well (and they do, see elogind). libsystemd is not magical.
Green Events in the Time of Covid-19
The body is very good at compensating for stuff like that. A falling blood pressure is a very late signal. The body has several tools at its disposal to maintain pressure (constricting the blood vessels, slowing the output of the kidneys, increasing the heartrate, etc). Two of those (urine output and heartrate) are already trended throughout the day for hospitalized patients.

The author states:

>"The mean time recorded there was used as the one to derive your local civil time as an offset from, called Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT for short. However, it was not as precise as it could be and thus got replaced in 1967 by another standard called Universal Coordinated Time, UTC.

UTC is a version of the Universal Time standard. In this standard we also find UT1, that keeps track of Earth rotation angle using GPS satellites ..."

I was confused by this as my understanding is that the first GPS blocks were the NAVSTAR system which were launched in 1978[1]. Or am I reading this incorrectly and UT1 is a later version of the UTC standard?

My current desktop water cooling setup can handle 700W under load easily. After setting it up my test was to actually spin everything up under 100% load with 2 crypto miners (1 for GPU and one for CPU, in 2014) and did it for 10 hours straight. Peak temp was 60 degree Celsius in hot July. Why I never continued with that? Because at the time bitcoin was 120 dollars and the electricity was 10 times more expensive. According to worker pool I joined at the time in those 10 hours I've earned 3 cents. Anyway, back to topic - I trust my water cooling 100% (also I made it manually because I like to build things).

You are giving too much credit to Google and Apple, I think...
Init scripts used to be mostly unportable since every distro shipped with their own support library. You could technically have a portable init script, but it would not behave like the rest of the distro's native init scripts in terms of status reporting etc. systemd units behave the same across all distributions.

Another smaller thing: /etc/os-release replacing the various /etc/*-release files.
There are hundreds of use-cases. It is not important what the use-cases are. - There are two types of developers: Those who use hacking to solve all kinds of tasks that need hundreds of manual steps. And those who never think of automating smaller steps. The second kind of devs can be very good software engineers, but they prefer IDEs instead of tweaking Vim or Emacs. The first kind of dev will look for possiblities to automate repeated steps, opportunities for tweaking, transforming, hacking. For the fun of it.

I couldn’t find any numbers for the server market, but Apple alone sells more products based on their chip design than all of the personal computers sold worldwide.

Intel has already lost the mobile market, threw the towel in on the cellular chip market and sold the division to Apple, lost the console market to AMD, and the worlds largest cloud provider AWS has started selling access to both AMD and ARM servers at a much cheaper cost/cpu rate.

The education market is rapidly moving to ARM based Chromebooks.
