I think so. In the Netherlands at least the discussion seems more nuanced. I’m not sure exactly why because the problems are exactly the same. I suspect there’s a few things at play.

1. The governments communication here is less extreme, and generally more reasonable. A few weeks ago a Dutch restaurant holder announced that he was going to open his restaurants regardless of the lockdown because otherwise he wouldn’t be able to handle it financially. This sparked a lot of debate and at some point, during a press conference, the PM was asked about it. He replied by saying he completely understood what the restaurant holder felt and saw it as a cry for help. He promised he would do anything to help restaurants survive. He wasn’t mad at the restaurant holder, instead, he showed seemingly sincere compassion. It defused the situation.

2. The Dutch government has said many times that everything they do is almost 100% based on their scientific advisory panel. They recently added some economic and behavioral experts to that panel to balance it out and we are slowly moving out of lockdown. Note that the approval rating of the Dutch PM has absolutely skyrocketed during the past couple of months and this makes it much easier to bring the bad news :)

3. There’s this Dutch tradition of late night shows that a lot of people watch. They all have basically the same format and the guests (during the past months) were mostly government people, virologists, doctors, economic experts etc. These shows are interesting in that it's just a few hours of talking, but they have millions of daily viewers. It creates sort of a common reference frame for the discussion to move forward. That restaurant holder for example was a guest that night, and asked to explain why he wanted to open up. 30 minutes of listening to a much more nuanced picture of how this has been for him, his staff and others in the food branch helps understand his motives. Also, because the same table hosts a government representative, a virologist and an ICU doctor you bet the guy had to walk back his earlier statement (at least partially) as it was carefully explained to him how opening up to soon might just make things worse. His position shifted from "I'll open up regardless" to "I'm asking the government for more relief money so we can survive this."

I probably oversimplified some stuff, and I'm not sure about these observations at all. There's a lot more at play most likely, anyway, this should give you some insight in how things are going elsewhere.
Sensible? I guess when you dig yourself into a hole, wanting to move to a shallower hole seems sensible. It showed that they understood neither their requirements nor their chosen tools, not surprising given that their stack is Elixir, Go and Rust, languages that there aren't too many experts for, and such consistent choices are a clear display of inexperience. There's just no way that technical sensibility is a chief concern of a company that goes from Elixir to Go to Rust within a few years.

If they had started with a runtime with better GCs or chosen, say, C/C++ from the beginning, none of this would have been necessary. They clearly choose hype first and everything else second. If that's their technical evaluation process, they are likely to choose wrong the first time, the second time, the third time, and however many times they need to rethink their choices, and every time their rationale would seem sensible when it becomes clear that their previous, ill-advised, choice is wrong, and before their new, untested choice shows its own problems. Making a bad choice and then wishing to fix it by making another using the same process that's led to the first doesn't inspire confidence.
Yes. Ssshhh.

Lidl and Kaufland stop delivering flyers and leaflets to my place in Poland. First - this is not Germany and we don't waste papper left and right for any formal and informal, solicited and unsolicited communication. Second - I don't want your papper spam, I don't want any spam in any form really.
As a European I'd much rather my data be visible to Germany than the US. We have ties that go beyond commercial agreements, honesty is still something I can believe in concerning Germany, and if all goes bad Germany has far less power over me.

I do agree with you though on the larger point: if caution should be exercised (and it should), then it's safe to assume every byte that goes on a server is to be considered visible to the government that hosts the content _and_ to the government under which the company operates

That seems like a reasonable approach. Do you recruit directly or do candidates get vetted before they get to you? I get the sense that in many hiring flows, the candidate would have to go through some gatekeepers first. They may be the ones screening for pedigree, elite status, etc.
Honestly, my experience of school was not just listening obediently as much as people make it to be here. And talking with my kids, the school was not like that to them - they miss the interactive parts of class. Now that homework is send by mail, bulk of it is like you describe. But the zoom classes are not like that and based on what my kids claim, it was not as dry in person.

Maybe there are completely dystopian schools where no communication is going on. Everything exists somewhere. But it is just not true that it is universal experience of school.

I'm in a technical online Master's program right now, and I'm amazed sometimes at where I get marks taken off, and where I don't, in some of my submissions. The areas I feel I bullshitted the most seem to be the most accepted.

I'm sure there's some survivor/confirmation bias going on there, but even so...
Almost all situations of real interest and disagreement will be grey-area and call for a pragmatic vs. a dogmatic approach.

> First of all, do not put equality sign between physical and being verbally abusive.

I am not, in general -- let's try to confine ourselves to my specific example.

> The first one is something external that you have no control over, no matter how much you fight, the second you can just shrug off and continue with your life.

This is a dogmatic assertion that is not supported by the evidence. If I were feeling less charitable, I could counter that of course you could do something about physical violence -- you just had to train harder, have better weapons, or build a coalition. People are emotionally abused. Stating that in some cases, some people can transcend that abuse is ... not really relevant. It's interesting, and should be studied so that perhaps we can confer immunity to more people.

> Problem with your example lies in the lack of context. On the more humorous side - maybe your wife is a cunt and your children are little bastards.

As soon as you admit context you admit that abusive speech could be an act of violence, as well as true speech. As you say, yourself, context matters. This is why dogmatic approaches to this issue are doomed to fail.

> If you percieve any kind of abusive expression, no matter of the context, as violence, ...

Let's just stick to my example. To disprove "speech cannot be violence", I only have to find one example of speech that is violence. I don't have believe or prove that all (abusive) speech is violence.

> then you're just done. There is no useful way that you can contribute to culture and society, because you cannot participate in discourse anymore.

This is nonsense. It's smacks of litany rather than logic. A person can be a productive member of society in many ways, yet hold beliefs that disturb you.

> Going further - your comment disgusted me and I've felt that it violates some of the most important values I have in my life.

I can't know, but your words suggest that you are looking to be disgusted. We all like to be self-righteous at times, but I doubt we are as far apart as you believe.

I have deep knowledge of computer science, artificial intelligence, biology, and emotional abuse. All of these areas teach that nature has no respect for our ontologies.

We may try to draw a hard line between violence and speech, but we mislead ourselves. Almost all of the cases worth debating occur at the fuzzy edges of these concepts.

Failure to realize this may result in the sense of having a crystalline framework, but ultimately it misleads.
From documentaries I've watched there are plenty of changes/mistakes/cover-ups, and they spot this with x-rays. I wouldn't be surprised that the same would (or already is) discovered for this massive painting as well.
I am against it because I have worked in a closed office environment before: I worked in Germany academia (Leibniz institute) for 3.5 years. I shared an office with 1 other person and later had my own office. It was GREAT for productivity / thinking and had no impact whatsoever in my interaction with other people when I needed that

For the last 8 years I've been working for "silicon valley culture startups" all of which push open offices, and even though when you have 3 to 6 ppl it makes sense, once you are more than that it becomes hell for people that need to focus.

In reality they are used because closed office space is more expensive.
They couldn't prompt disruption more if they tried.

I teach at NYU also. I teach very experiential, active, project-based courses. My students, for projects in my class, get written up in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Inc; they speak at Harvard, TEDx; they get funded by Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt; supported by the Dalai Lama; they get promoted at their jobs without asking. Again, this is for class projects, not just later in life.

But what does the Dean I report to talk about when reviewing my syllabus? She asks "Where are the papers?" She says "It needs more academic rigor" and tells me to assign more papers to read and write. Even so, beyond their practical accomplishments, I would stake any of my students against their lecture-and-case-study-taught students in theory and impractical knowledge too.

As an adjunct, I get nearly zero resources or support. My courses use a fraction their costs -- no office, administrative support, faculty lunches, coffee, etc.

A student who told me he learned more marketing in my entrepreneurship class that was at NYU but not Stern (NYU's business school) than from his Stern marketing class said I could quote him but not by name since he didn't want to get in trouble with the school.

Yeah, well maybe God is the sum total of everything, including your much-despised woo woo .. which, in my opinion, is the opposite of the kinds of totalitarian schools of thought that threaten our cultures, time and again.

Without the woo and whimsy and make-believe, what have we got left in our cultures? If we kill religion we may as well kill theatre and literature and all the other things which require this unmeasurable substance in order to be viable ..
Things that surprised me:

1. Many IT architects use simple tools for diagrams. The most common in my industry were PowerPoint and Google Slides. Even for very complex diagrams that can cover an entire wall.

2. Other architects will abuse diagramming standards and other standards. Ask them to describe their diagram instead of assuming what it means. For example, the vast majority of UML use case diagrams I have seen were used to describe flow, which is technically wrong.

3. Consider your role as one of advisor / mentor / coach. The best architecture will not always win due to other constraints, and you need to be able to compromise.

4. Another of your primary roles is that of educator and communicator. Many times people need to quickly understand the systems from a high level in order to make decisions. And they will come to you for that understanding.

5. Along with the above, you will likely be working a lot more with management because you are participating in high level decisions that often involve how money is spent. Learn how management prefers communication. Start with the bottom line: "the preferred solution costs X and we have two other solutions that cost less but come with some cons". And then drill down into details as needed. A junior communicating with management always gives the details and justification up front and that is the opposite of how management thinks.

I hope that helps. Best of luck in your new role!

Show HN: Bulma Builder 2.0 – Now with custom UI components
In Illinois the marijuana dispensaries provide medical marijuana to patients. Seems like a good reason to stay open. Home Depot has all sorts of essential products from water heaters to screws to air filters to cleaning supplies and plenty more.

A Tesla factory doesn’t offer prescribed medicine or household items I may need while staying-at-home.
this depends on the type of organization you are in and what type of architect. At a small startup i was an engineer who coded a lot but also did what would be considered architecture, devops, db administration, project management and client relationships.

when i joined a fortune 100 as a solution architect, i mostly made power point and worked to translate unclear business objectives into architectures, work breakdowns, estimation and multi-year planning. it was expected i could code, understand db choices and trade offs but truly never had to do anything hands on technical.
Congratulations. It's been my experience that a business-savvy, technically capable architect can be absolutely essential.

It's also true that architects can sometimes be jerks, if they lack the above qualities they can be tremendous liabilities.

To achieve your promotion, you must have done some very good things. Keep up the good work, vow to be a 'good' architect.

Good luck!

Hi!

It's been 10 months since the launch of Bulma Builder.

In the meantime, we released a few nice features, including the most anticipated: custom UI components.

Now you can use not only predefined UI components, but can create your own or modify ours.

That powerfull feature is available in all three of our editors and account created in one editor works in all three:

* https://bulma.dev ( Bulma CSS 0.8.2 )

* https://tailwind.build ( Tailwind CSS 1.4.0 )

* https://bootstrapshuffle.com ( Bootstrap 4.4.1 and Material Design for Bootstrap 4.1.1 )

No registration is required to try the demo :)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe feelings are enough evidence that the science is still out on the existence of a human soul.

An authoritarian hell bent on altering culture to suit his own will is never going to convince me otherwise.
It's not a matter of shifting the definition. It's a pragmatic recognition that these concepts are not hard-edged and are interrelated.

Violence, emotional violence, emotional abuse, abusive speech, etc.

EDIT> I don't find your example more interesting. The more clear-cut an example is the less interesting it is. blah blah entropy.

More or less all of it.

For example, Elon asked hospitals what they needed and plenty did want CPAP machines (which are a type of ventilator). A much smaller number of invasive ventilators were provisioned (more expensive and probably harder to acquire) as well.

That there are data collection issues that mean COVID19 deaths are inflated (or undercounted! There are factors pushing it both ways) is not a conspiracy theory, it is frequently discussed in mainstream media like the BBC.

For the cave thing, Musk did in fact send people and had them make some prototype mini submarines to help rescue the kids. It wasn't a bad idea (or so the diver who actually found the kids claimed), just not the one they actually went with in the end. The guy he got into a spat with was a British diver living in Thailand who helped recruiting the British divers who actually did the work. Musk won the resulting defamation lawsuit.

Basically all of the statements in the grandparent post omit any facts that get in the way of Musk looking bad.
It's ridiculous how much random college-level linear algebra textbook material I stared at before things clicked in the course of just jumping in and exploring 3D graphics and writing my own 3D vector, matrix multiplication and 3D transform headers and using them in making some games in plain C.

At some point it's like "Wait, is linear algebra really just about heaps of multiplication and addition? Like every dimension gets multiplied by values for every dimension, and values 0 and 1 are way more interesting than I previously appreciated. That funny identity matrix with the diagonal 1s in a sea of 0s, that's just an orthonormal basis where each corresponding dimension's axis is getting 100% of the multiplication like a noop. This is ridiculously simple yet unlocks an entire new world of understanding, why the hell couldn't my textbooks explain it in these terms on page 1? FML"

I'm still a noob when it comes to linear algebra and 3D stuff, but it feels like all the textbooks in the world couldn't have taught me what some hands-on 3D graphics programming impressed upon me rather quickly. Maybe my understanding is all wrong, feel free to correct me, as my understanding on this subject is entirely self-taught.

> Look at the MOOC experiments where the percentage of people who pass is in the single digits. (There are all kinds of arguments that some people only sign up for part of the course anyway, that people can take it three times at much less cost than the traditional way once, etc., but single digits is a shock.) There

I personally signed up to many courses I did not even intended to finish. And even where I intended to finish, it turned out too much. I could do required 6-8 of work for first few weeks, but sooner or later there is deadline in work or personal problem that you have deal with and will stop the course. It was free and I learned something without finishing it anyway.

In one case, I dropped out from final test while having all previous homework done and full credit up to that point. I just decided that learning for final test would be too much effort an stopped.

Actually relevant study I have seen compared online and offline version of the same course, in the same year and students who all paid to study (e.g. normal students). The online people dropped out or failed much more often then offline, but it was not single digit. I cant find it now.
> That museum really is a treasure, and well worth a visit if you're ever in wonderful Amsterdam.

Absolutely. I'm not hugely into paintings as such. But when I visited the Rijksmuseum, the sheer craftsmanship displayed by so many of the paintings just blew my mind.

Photographs does not do the paintings justice. Even this one. The 3d nature of the paintings and the complex way the structure and paint interacts with the light cannot be reproduced by a photograph. To view them is an experience, and is well worth the visit.
Wow. I guess this kind of reckoning is overdue, but it's scary to see it happening.

I hope MOOCs play a strong role in the future of education. They're awesome and easily accessible to everyone. This could be the start of the democratization of education.
The constant "threat" of interruption is exhausting. Even on quiet days, it's mentally very difficult to force myself to focus when I know that somebody can break my focus at any moment.

I'm lucky because I have an awesome home-office, so when I need to focus more, I can just work from home. But many people don't have that luxury, so open offices probably end up being quite harmful to overall productivity.
That's a good point. I mainly use it for browsing websites that change daily as well as ones with many successive pages, e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc. that IA does automatically not crawl. Thus, not many existing copies if any.

HAproxy changes the Host header and modifies the URL. I can either use the text-only browser's http-proxy option or I can direct the request to the web.archive.org backend by adding a custom HTTP header to the request. If I am not mistaken, the so-called "modern" browsers do not have built-in capability to add headers.

No, his books are not recipes. The thing I'm struggling to communicate here is that he's got a more pragmatic style compared to other text books. The material he presents is complete and and he is doing great job making it approachable for non mathematicians.

His books usually expand on the subjects he presents at his online lectures. I see them as advanced lecture notes.
