> And even port to IBM z/VM ("Sirius"):

Unfortunately that died, because Oracle stopped being willing to cooperate with the port [1]. Of course, I understand why they might not see it as being in their commercial interests to support porting their OS to a competitor's hardware; but, I think their turn away from openness with Solaris accelerated its decline rather than delaying it.

(Disclaimer: ex-Oracle employee, but I was never working on Solaris directly, just on higher-level middleware stuff which sometimes ran on Solaris, and I really don't know anything about this topic beyond what has been reported in the media.)
Didn't ycombinator pick a number of startups with bad ideas or non-ideas and encouraged them to pivot? Or encourage new teams to form around a different idea?

For example Reddit's original team wanted to do a "My Mobile Menu", and also Aaron Swartz pivoted from Infogami to merging with Reddit.

I would almost count this partially under the "no idea" category.
This is just disingenuous. The message here is unambiguously "carry our content unedited or you become legally liable for everything posted on your site." Don't pretend that the decision of whose content is "protected" isn't going to be 100% subjective and partisan depending on who appointed the federal regulators. Or do you really think Trump's FCC or FTC (or whichever agency he imagines will enforce his new EO) is going to leap to the defense of, say, an Ilhan Omar tweet?

Jazz was IMO the finest American art form, and it was objectively instrumental in desegregating the US. It gave America a ton of black heroes like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. It left a permanent stamp on music and paved the way for rock'n'roll. It pushed the technical boundaries of many modern instruments.

I get what you're saying about becoming older and selection bias, but many of the contemporary criticisms of jazz were rooted in racism.

I agree that is some selection bias at play when we think of popular music now vs. popluar music in the 80's. But jazz exists in a whole different dimension from Top 40 music from the last 50 years.
Whenever I see something like this or other "mental model" tools, I just think: soon this will be obsolete, as the human who used to make decisions in a given job is replaced by AI.
The climate disaster is full of ethical issues, pursuing the issue without it is lying by omission.

The climate crisis disproportionately affects people in poorer areas, while a handful of rich people are doing all the polluting. It is both morally wrong and criminally ludicrous to allow these rich folks to continue with their polluting without being punished. See separating polluters from their means of pollution is both effective and the right thing to do.

Regarding the nuclear plants: You claim that the left is out of touch with reality while you think that we can somehow build a few hundred new nuclear plants over the course of next ten years (which is probably an overextended estimate of how long we have), and that alone will fix the climate crisis. No that won’t happen in the world we live in. The climate disaster will have to mitigated by stopping polluters from polluting—which we can do by laws and enforcement; and has been proven to work effectively in the past—everything else is wishful thinking.

I read the book, he travelled to multiple continents and generally this is pre- industrial diets, or prior to introduction of vegetable and seed oils, refined sugars, processed carbs, etc. Because he was able to do this research in the 20s, the industrial diet hadn't quite taken over. He also studied mummies in South America. They overwhelmingly had perfect teeth, prior to introduction of modern junk food.

I was a big fan of Atom as well. It pains me to see MS taking over every single default developer tool.

As if anything else was possible from such a source.
The key paragraph:

> The Deno CLI works like a browser, but for code. You import a URL in the code and Deno will go and fetch that code and cache it locally, just like a browser. Also, like a browser, your code runs in a sandbox, which has zero trust of the code you are running, irrespective of the source. You, the person invoking the code, get to tell that code what it can and can’t do, externally. Also, like a browser, code can ask you permission to do things, which you can choose to grant or deny.

The big problem with Deno is that permissions, once granted, apply to every imported URL. You cannot ask it to let one script access the file system, another access network and the rest of them run fully sandboxed. This makes it so that you either only import scripts you already fully trust (making the permission system useless) or don't allow any access (making the ecosystem useless).
> They are just using Trump's tweet to promote their own point of view.

Correction: they're using their own service to promote their own point of view.

I honestly think there are real issues with the public means of communication being privately owned by a smallish number of entities, but it does free expression no good to make the fight about letting lies, disinformation, and other forms of untruth to flow unimpeded.
I probably wouldn't take a pay cut at my current salary, but I would definitely settle for a lower salary ceiling.

IMO ASP NET Core/NET Core is actually pretty good; seems lighter weight than Java at least to me. Beats most web frameworks in terms of raw performance, comes with all bells and whistles (e.g. even Grpc is supported with a built in server) but bolted on only as required. i.e. definitely beats in performance many web frameworks today (e.g. Spring Boot, etc) with a bit more "officially supported" polish which can be important for adoption.

The problem still is the traditional .NET conservative developer culture that I've experienced in .NET jobs IMO. It stops them from trying out the best things in their space (e.g. F# as one thing that comes to mind). NET Core as a runtime on a Linux platform is actually pretty good these days. This can vary by team and company however so not a reason to not choose the technology per se.

Is there any actual evidence, though, that soft foods have led to smaller jaws (and therefore crowded teeth)?

When you look at traditional cooking all around the world, I just don't see any evidence that diets today are overwhelmingly "softer".

When you think of traditional diets, you think of boiled vegetables, milled grains made into porridge or bread, grilled fish and meat, and so on. I don't see any evidence that traditional diets were harder to chew in any way. People have been cooking and boiling foods to make them soft for many thousands of years.

And plenty of people today are raised on crusty chewy bread, chewy steak sandwiches, salads with chewy greens (kale), and so on. Not everybody, sure -- but those people (like me) still need to get braces terribly often.

So while there certainly appears to be evidence that teeth crowding has gotten worse, it's not clear that the hypothesis that small jaws are caused by soft food has been proven at all, or is even plausible.
No the people he studied were in the 1920s. Traditional diets vs newer modern industrial diets. Vast majority of cultures were agricultural since 5000BC. It's seed and vegetable oils (not used as dietary fat source until industrial methods made it possible in early 20th century), white bread, enriched flour, high fructose corn syrup, excessive sugar, etc.
Perhaps this is just my own inexperience showing but I haven’t ever had an issue using venv (which is included in python3 now) and a requirements.txt file.
Trump didn’t just disagree with Twitter’s opinion of his tweets, or how Twitter operates.

He made threats to retaliate, clearly to chill speech he disagrees with.

They are not the same thing. Not even close. And businesses will have to take his behavior into account, especially if some people give him a pass for this.

Trump keeps moving the bar, or trying to, in terms of pushing back against any organizational or legal limits on himself.

It has been both amazing and depressing to see how quickly people start making excuses for him, and declaring his behavior acceptable when it is clearly corruption.
Show HN: Generate a Go REST API from PostgreSQL with filtering, pagination, auth
I think this speaks to the idea of rubber ducking.

I think a fair amount of problem solving ability is at the boundary of the internal and external.

Of course this is imprecise scientifically, but hopefully the idea is clear.
The votes help rank the submissions and the comments - finding interesting things for HN users to read and talk about is the purpose of the site. Who found a thing first (especially something that was going to end up on the front page one way or the other) is not really that interesting to most people. If anything, an FP-reaching post's contribution to a user's overall karma should probably be capped at around some small factor of a median comment.
A number of serious misunderstandings seem to have developed in our back and forth here and I'm not sure it's worth writing a wall of text to clarify them. Perhaps I didn't previously word things as clearly as would have been ideal.

> > I previously pointed out ...

> No, you didn't. The ADA ...

That isn't what I was referring to. I initially noted that Twitter has very clearly and intentionally positioned themselves as what I can only think to describe as a public platform. Private malls simply do not do that. They are also so many orders of magnitude larger than any private mall that I fail to see a relevant comparison there. It is my understanding that factors such as intentions and size of influence are important in cases like this. I make no claim as to how that argument would go in court, only that it seems like a reasonable one to put forward.

> You need to read the actual text and not just the summary.

I was very careful to clarify that the court did not explicitly rule on that. When the majority opinion goes out of its way to bring such an issue up and makes direct comparisons, I think it is reasonable to assume that they would be open to entertaining such a line of argument. If they thought it was ridiculous then why did they bring it up and go on about it to such an extent?
Instead of taking shots at people on HN, write a detailed document and add a link - that would be useful.

But I'm not going to debate inaccurate corona statistics with a pedant on HN.

The mortality rate for young people is less than 1% - low for a pandemic. Ebola is 50% and up, and recurs every other year.

> it’s a one time hit to life expectancies

For people who actually get acutely sick from corona. I agree the 5% or so of people who get acutely ill will have a shortened lifespan, but there's no data for the other 95%.

The article is a reasonable summary of Epic's accelerating ascent, but little factual inaccuracies littered throughout smell like investor hype and some bits of tortured prose stink of advertising copy.

Being an introvert means spending time around people costs you energy whereas it gives you energy if you're an extrovert. Introverts enjoy being around people, some enjoy being on stage, etc. Those things are totally irrelevant to introvert/extrovert.

Deno seems like the next mongo db fiasco waiting to happen. Insecure by default. The fact that it doesn't grant permissions by default is irrelevant, servers need permissions to function (access databases, access files, access the network, etc...).

The incentives are all wrong. If I MITM a website at best I gain access to the data of the few users that pass through my part of the net. If I MITM something Deno is using I get access to the server. That's orders of magnitude more data I get access too and therefore the incentive to MITM (or other) is much much MUCH higher.
It is a non-optimal choice, but I believe there is a very strong reason. Not competing with the browser's native functionality.

Some of the most horrible web experiences, occur because websites try to take control of native functions. For example "smooth" scrolling, or highjacking the back button, or trying to abuse the clipboard! Confusing the user, breaking navigation, making the page less accessible and in some cases breaking after X months when browser or OS behavior changes.

What I have now is unfortunately far from "good" and there is improvement and experimentation waiting to happen, but the straight forward approach is not much better either...
I thought there was also a fair amount of research linking red meat consumption to arteriosclerosis, so something doesn't add up.
Not to pile on but really do read it. I see how you get to the White House's position but it's a stretch. There don't seem to be any condions tacked on. They don't publish other people's tweats. I think they could maybe be held liable for illegally removing tweats. The protection afforded for filtering does seem dependent on the motivation but I'm not aware of any laws restricting what content they're allowed to remove and again in this case they didn't remove anything

> It’s his opinion / prediction. As wrong as it is, that isn’t something they should “fact check”.

"I believe that if we allow people to leave their homes, everyone will die of Covid-19". Narrator: "There is no evidence that everyone will die of Covid-19, in fact there is plenty of evidence that everyone will not die of Covid-19".

At which point you claim that the original statement, because it included opinion, could not be fact checked, even though presenting sources that counter the priors required for the claims to make sense is a completely reasonable thing to do.
They use extensive model parallelism when training. Even TPUs (64GB) or Tesla V100 GPUs (32GB) don’t have enough memory to fit a model into a single child, so you’ll need activation checkpointing or model parallelism.
I actually agree with everything you’re saying. But the real world demands compromise. There is no ideal authority.

I wish there was an additional set of data that uses this set, and then computes the average cost of using each framework on various cloud providers.

Its amazing to see python based stuff so low in the benchmarks, yet so high in general popularity.

In cloud based servers, where requests per second directly translates to inverse USD, its imperative costs are incorporated into the selection process for the software stack.
First, I think your premise is flawed. I've been WFH for almost five years; I frequently share meals, get coffee, and build friendships with people with whom I've never shared a physical space.

Second, work is where human beings are referred to and treated as resources. The only way to be "genuine" at work is to embrace the reality that you are essentially an automaton. Any relationships built along the way happen in spite of, not because of, your job.
I think the same thing every time I see a top 40 or whatever. Not only do I not know who any or them are, but when I try to listen to a few to see why it's so popular they all sound like the exact same (terrible) song.

Snefru, who was the Pharoah before Khufu (which is the one that build the Great Pyramid) provides a nice example of failure and progression.

He first started with the Meidum Pyramid. This pyramid collapsed during construction.

The he did the Bent Pyramid. This is like it's name in that the angle changes as you go up the pyramid.

Finally, he did the Red Pyramid which looks like what we think of when we think of a pyramid.

So yes, even right before the Great Pyramid, you can see evidence of a learning process.

This article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneferu#Building_projects provides a nice summary with pictures.

Trump signs executive order targeting Twitter after fact-checking row
I agree 100%. Don't see why one approach must preclude the other.

I prefer using tags rather than folders, so I actually keep every e-mail since last year's January 1st in my Outlook inbox (currently at 29,348 and counting...) and just search. If you let Outlook index everything, it's blazing fast, and you can sort by name / subject / date / category pretty easily to further drill down results and find what you want.

Haven't found a system that works better, with the only disadvantage being that searching on mobile really sucks

What will it take to help these people see how incredibly irresponsible, undefendably wasteful and doomed this approach to product-making is? 'If it doesn't work for us we don't care about that'?

Its akin to removing repairability from products designed to be inseparable from eternal profit-taking. What the much-touted 'free market' they talk up really wants is product that lasts and/or can be fixed or repurposed. I've never heard anyone say 'I love to buy crap' or 'I'm okay with buying a new one frequently'. What they mean by 'free' - of regulation - is unsustainable.
Is it really all lost or just delayed? Maybe some will still purchase from them when they are back online, but maybe some will not.
