Yep. Although in my opinion Programming Rust [0] is better even though dated. The word goes that the 2nd edition will be out by the end of the year.

Apple’s rejected a huge number of App updates for security reasons. It’s not a huge benefit, but it does exist.
Open offices are, and have always been about, control. Not about productivity, but exclusively about control (well maybe with a touch of thrift thrown in there).

We say this all the time but act as if it's some secret, or just a cynical remark, but it's not either of these. As a general rule your boss likes that you can feel their perpetual gaze as you work, even if in practice it means you are working less.

Because of course you aren't working all the time, and of course you are not 100% being productive. Everyone knows this. It is not a secret that even the most productive engineer spends a huge amount of office time doing nothing.

No worker (as I general rule, I know there are exceptions) prefers open offices to either cubicles or real offices (I wonder how many HN have ever had these?). Nobody feels that they work their best when someone is watching them. Everyone knows that part of working in an open office is figuring out how to create the illusion that you are working.

The only reason to have an open office is because the people making the decision for how the office should be, and the people reporting to them, do in fact like to watch you work, because they like the control that they feel when they do this.

Please let's stop pretending that we don't all understand exactly what open offices are about.

How does this compare to TypeORM?
Can you run a crypto miner as a lua script in Redis? That is actually kinda cool tbh. You'd notice pretty quickly since Redis won't respond anymore.
Agreed. So to me, it's just a matter of time - with the data advertisers already have, it would only take getting that data in the same room with a few smart spooks, and you'd have something to act on to police thinking, if your government was so inclined.
We used both zeromq and its sort-of-descendant nanomsg but eventually moved to NATS because of it's approach to high availability (every node knows the topology of the whole cluster) and zero management overhead.

Some criticize NATS for the absence of message durability in the core technology, but we figured out we can drop this requirement in 95% of cases. Your microservices should be highly available anyway, so there's always a live consumer - and it's better to handle the message to it directly rather than introducing the overhead of storing a message somewhere and dealing with more-than-once delivery.

There's a bit more to that like you should let your microservices exit gracefully and finish processing consumed messages. And of course in 5% of cases, where you can't allow to lose a single message, you have to use NATS Streaming or the likes, but so far we've been greatly impressed by NATS for high load.

Yes, meditation should deliver noticeable results. If it doesn't then you are doing it wrong.
Where does that fit into this macOS app?
Here in TX (somewhat unusual, granted) I pay about $0.05/kWh for the wholesale power and about $0.04 for the "delivery charges" i.e. being hooked up to the grid, etc.

The truly wholesale market tends to be $0.01/kWh any time other than 11am-7pm and anywhere between "some more" and "lots, lots more" than that during the 11am-7pm window.

At some point it starts to become more economical to install extra solar to make sure I never touch the grid during the day. And eventually as battery prices come down and homes get more efficient it also becomes more economical to install batteries and even more solar to not touch the grid at night.

This may not be how retail power is priced everywhere but I suspect that wholesale power is priced similarly in a lot of places that get some sun and some wind so long as you're not really, really remote. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out over the coming 5-10 years.
C&C Remastered Remaster Update and Open Source / Mod Support
Doing things just because research says you should do it, or because you're better safe than sorry, is simply punting the decision and the cognitive understanding to an authority. You shouldn't be surprised when none of these things "work" -- do you even understand why they should?
Nice. Will check them out. IIRC they are really affordable too (like all serverless stuff tbh)
> Most people don't have the capacity for critical thought on every area of ambiguity/complexity.

I'd change that to "most people haven't been taught to think critically". It's clear that the average person has the mental capacity, genetic variations in intelligence aren't that large.

Who is making those "arrangements"? Naxos? Or Facebook/YouTube?

Because I haven't heard of Facebook/YouTube doing so, though I'd love to know if they do.

And if it's Naxos, well that doesn't exactly solve the problem does it? Because the claim against your recording might be Naxos one day, but another label next week, and yet another label the week after that. Naxos is a big label, but it certainly doesn't have even the majority of classical music or anything.

I ordered a few from Etsy. Took about a week or so to arrive. But this was before it was advised that everyone wear them so maybe wait times are now longer?

I’ve also seen signs that some dry cleaning places are carrying them.

Sports online stores (Fans Edge) also selling sports ones.

In my field we make robots do a thing, say folding laundry, as an example of dextrous manipulation[1], and the popular conversation is about whether your laundry robot makes commercial sense and not about your novel grasping strategy and nifty motion planner that makes this sorta-possible for the first time.

I've had some extensions that were approved, had no changes, then suddenly disapproved because someone on the chrome team decided to re-review it and didn't understand webpack / minification.

I've been so busy I haven't bothered to go try and "fix" the extensions. These are OSS extensions, nothing paid, so I all the code is available for the reviewer to read by the way.
It's funny, because I imagine what you consider "benefit" I'd consider a disaster. Wi-Fi at least usually connects to the network you control. Mobile connections hook up directly to the telecom provider, and if we're talking appliances and not smartphones, that means you have zero control over what the device is sending.

It's not just a matter of surveillance, but also a matter of further enabling shitty, user-hostile business models, where the physical hardware is only a proxy for a service.
Where Did “Main” Come From?
I've been doing breathing exercises regularly for the past 8 years. Complete game changer for emotional regulation. I've also organized and taught it in schools, prisons, offices, etc. on a volunteer basis.

I like it because it's not a logical activity. Nobody has to be convinced that it works or makes sense. If you breathe in a certain way, your feelings will change (or something noticeable will happen) whether you believe in it or not.

I'm happy it's becoming more mainstream. Even if you don't do it regularly, it's a good thing to learn.
I've been meditating for two years, have found similar benefits, and I'm sure it's not a function of age because sometimes I stop for a while and the benefits go away. It doesn't seem like placebo either, because previously I'd tried other meditation techniques that weren't nearly so beneficial.

There's a fair amount of peer-reviewed research on the benefits of mindfulness meditation, and it doesn't seem all that unlikely that exercising your brain in different ways really can help your brain function differently.

I once tried using Unity for creating a little game during a game jam of approximately 8h. The team wanted to make a small game, where one could mix ingredients and create magic potions. Initially I suggested we could simply use some JS and make it a web app, specifically, because I anticipated problems, if we relied on some software like Unity, but no, unfortunately the team majority decided they wanted to use Unity.

For the Windows users it apparently worked. However, one friend and me, this choice excluded us. Here is why:

Unity did start the first time, but then crashed, resulting in some lock file being there, so that I could not start it again. Took a while to figure that one out. After figuring that out, I was able to remove that lock file manually, enabling me to start Unity again. That alone in itself already seems ridiculous. However, I could still not use it, because it kept crashing and not working. So my friend and I could not participate at all. She was running some Mac laptop, where it also had issues. I tried reinstalling multiple times, updating graphics card drivers, switching between proprietary and Nouveau, all kinds of shenanigans, I tried for at least 2 hours to get this stuff working before giving up. Of course I searched online for solutions. None to be found.

This was a few years ago, so the situation might have changed, although many comments here lead me to thinking, that it might be just as bad. However, that is why I stay clear of using Unity. What I've seen of Unity makes me think it is a huge bloated thing. I'd rather choose some small 2D game engine and write a lot of code myself than trying to use Unity again. Once bitten ...

It's not; they are stating that if you bypass these security checks, you open the machine up to ransomware.
This seems more complicated and significantly more expensive than hosting a static site from S3 and using a Cloudfront distribution to enforce SSL.
You're arguing "containers give you a chance of keeping everything pristine" but the claim was "you end up with a more robust system if you don't thing 'everything should be pristine' should be a precondition."

I'm not sure I agree with the original poster though. I both dislike doing dev inside a container and dislike complicated manual dev environment setups. Containers for deps like dbs are more reasonable. This is faster perf-wise, more friendly for fancy tooling/debuggers and such, and it introduces just enough heterogeneity that you may catch weird quirks that could bite you on update in the future.

But you should be able to spin up/down new deploys easily, without having to do manual provisioning and such, which means the env on your servers should be container-like, even if it's not directly a container. Pristine and freshly-initialized. And then if you regularly upgrade the dependency versions, from linux version to third part lib versions to runtime versions, then you will still avoid the brittleness.
There is already a lot of research. I have some comments about it in my whole HN history for if you're truly curious.

Go to Google Scholar and look it up.

I just re-edited my whole thing (behind a laptop now).

For other HN people I did mention pre-edit: "Wim is crazy. The people studying him aren’t."

Enough research has been done, as far as I'm concerned it's a case closed.

The WHM does things that we couldn't do before (e.g. be more resistant against the cold). Now we can, more research is needed to fully understand it. For people who dismiss it, they simply haven't taken the time to watch some doctor explain it on YouTube in-depth. And I get that, but then don't say it's BS, simply say you're sceptical.

I'm the first person to burn occult things to the ground as I hate nonsense. This seems occult, but it isn't. It doesn't help that Wim acts like a guru, but what he does can be rooted in science. He roots it in science by asking scientists to research him. From his perspective that's all he can do.

Here is an amazing summary on the research of a sceptical doctor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6EPuUdIC1E&t=2285s
At some point I wonder if business incentives are a problem

Eg does Spotify pay more to play the original than the one by The Civil Wars?

If so, how much money are they saving by such "bugs"?

And if not, how is popularity (use an objective ish metric, eg wiki page length) not a major feature?
Or the fine is that the work in question becomes public domain.
I think you may have overlooked the critical words "for free". Data traffic costs money.

When I left my previous job, I was starting to think it might be a good idea to start using docker containers for dev. We were using chef kitchen to maintain virtual machines, but we had just enough production systems, that depending on what you were working on, you might need 3 virtual machines running at once. I didn't care on my desktop with 16GB of ram, but we had a number of devs using a laptop with only 8GB, and 3 virtual machines was just enough to cause headaches.

It was the first use case for docker that I thought might make sense. The second was the headache we were likely to start running into on our CI server when dealing with different versions of Node/NPM for different codebases, a drift that is inevitable as older codebases get less support.
> integration across a house/car/phone

While this sounds absolutely lovely on paper, here's the thing: I do not trust the free market to deliver on that. What will happen is just a bunch of silos where things sorta work together as long as you stick to a single vendor, but half of the things are garbage, as there's no point in making them good when the users are already captive due to buying into the one expensive thing that's best-in-class.
I would have guessed AWS from your post since it's the more notorious one about bad WLB. As a new grad SDE1, things are bit horrifying especially since I've onboarded remotely.
Or just avoid California because it's not work the hassle.
And if you need a step up from chroot, systemd-nspawn is a good next step. Just as light, but supports many more isolated features including all kinds of networking. No need for go runtime as with docker, the same convenience of use via machinectl command.
Yea, I've seen some some stories around Chrome review problems, most recently around pushbullet. I think it the review outcome depends a little bit on a mixture of reviewer and the permissions required. The more permissions an extension asks for the longer the review process, and unfortunately some false positive flags do happen now and then.

As a sysadmin you can do anything you want and are free to deal with the breakage you cause yourself. But the FHS pretty clearly establishes what behavior an application such as Nix should have: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03.html#p...

Quote:

"Applications must never create or require special files or subdirectories in the root directory. Other locations in the FHS hierarchy provide more than enough flexibility for any package."

They can choose not to abide the FHS, and that's fine if the users are happy with that tradeoff. But OSes observing the FHS are free to break Nix's expectations because they don't align with the FHS.
Actually - usually it's requiring others to promote, pay for or echo their speech.

I'm free to speak, and make you speak what I want, and pay for my speech, but YOU can't make me say things I don't want to.

Huh? Stand on a soapbox. Get a group together to promote your ideas. You can do all of this without going to jail, but google doesn't have to pay huge amounts to pump out your BS.

That's precisely the issue. It is technologically impossible to solve the problem by analyzing the audio.

1. Two different performances could be audibly indistinguishable.

2. An infringing copy isn't necessarily indistinguishable. Often they have their own imperfections.
Ask HN: How to be okay with having an average intelligence?
Some people change the world, some people see and solve problems majority can't and need to study to understand. How can you be okay knowing you'll never be one of those people that actually leave the mark? How can you be okay with having a wife, a child or two, raising them, but knowing all of you are just average? How can you ever be okay unless you know and are proved to be a genius?

Great article. By far, this is the most important point of the whole article. No one has the right to teach a child anything against the parents wishes.
"Quantified to some extent," yes, but not as rigorously as the effects of SARS-Cov-2. Basic epidemiological models tell us that we at least 60% or so of the population to be immune in order to reach herd immunity. Based on an infection fatality rate of 0.5% and a US population of about 328M, you multiply that out to get an order of magnitude estimate of ~1M dead, whereas during the Great Depression (probably our closest comparison point to what's going on now), as well as the recessions of 1921 and 1938, life expectancy actually increased; the only cause of death that increased was suicide [0].

There are things we don't know about this virus, such as what exactly the residual effects are on survivors, whether and for how long infection can provide immunity, what the role of vitamin D is, and many other things, but those uncertainties largely don't matter to epidemiological models at this point. We can simply run best and worst case type scenarios to get an idea what we're dealing with if we're thinking solely about the death rate. And, even if we underestimate the death rate, if there are severe and long-lasting aftereffects, that only compounds the need to do something to stop the virus.

IMO, the "knowns" surrounding economic correlations with decreased life expectancy are far, far more unknown than those surrounding a very contagious virus that kills people.

And, as I have said before, to much controversy, if a science-based, public health response to a public health crisis cripples the economy, that's a sign that our economic system is broken, not that we're overreacting to save lives, just to doom people to economic misery.

One practical reason we chose Nats over Kafka was that Nats doesn't need zookeeper for HA.

Nats doesn't provide message durability too, luckily it's not required for 95% of our use cases. Also, having NATS already implemented it's a natural move to use NATS Streaming for durability rather than introducing a completely new technology to your stack.

The file was widely shared on Google Drive and linked to from a public twitter message— it was very much not a personal file. And the title literally was, “An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus” referring to hydroxychloroquine. Google’s doing its part to purge pandemic misinformation and prevent harm. The authoring “doctor,” as far as I can tell has never had postgraduate medical training and cannot practice medicine without supervision, is trying to achieve writing a document with a title like that I don’t know.

> There's an Intel library called Embree which is very cache friendly. It's used by v-Ray, the raytracer that I use. https://www.embree.org/

I started using it when it was released and I've looked through the source code. It does some operations in chunks of 4, 8 or 16 to try to utilize AVX registers, especially in the version written in ISPC. It isn't what I would call cache friendly, it still hops around a lot in memory.

> And if I remember correctly, I got only 10% pipeline utilization, which would suggest that it could be 10x faster with fast enough memory.

You misunderstood. You could likely get a 10x speedup if you restructured how you access memory so that it can prefetched. Memory with 10x better latency does not exist. What you are interested here is prefetching, not memory bandwidth or cache.

It's great that you are interested in this stuff, but I think you need to draw a clearer line between your knowledge and your assumptions.

The idea that a file was deleted as a first step is pretty out there. There is NO evidence of that. The usual progression is to deny streaming, then warn and close account ultimately.
