The difference is motivation. Nobody profits from lockdowns in the narrow sense that Britain profited from restricting Americans rights. Lockdowns intention is to save peoples lives and allow for a less restrictive reopening later, by regaining the missed ability to do proper contact tracing.
The history of Microsoft is the history of workarounds on top of workarounds, year after year, rinse and repeat. Here's a novel thought: instead of providing yet another iteration of workarounds for the power user, how about just fixing it for every user.

Take for instance the Start Menu. When the Win-X "quick access" menu was added years ago, it was essentially an admission that the Start Menu is not the best way to start at least some things. It didn't really get much better since but the Search and Run functionality was integrated into it. Now one of the PowerToys replaces the Win-R menu as a yet another clumsy attempt at fixing the Start Menu by bypassing it. And it seems no new functionality beyond what is already implemented elsewhere is being added, except everything will of course get a different alternate look. Some more discussion about it here: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/44

It looks like there isn't anyone at Microsoft who can take a look at the big picture and decide what they actually want to accomplish with the UI in the medium run. Different groups of people come and go, keep adding different things, abandon them, after a while somebody else starts off with yet another approach in parallel without drawing any conclusions from the failed previous one, etc. The lack of co-ordination really amazes me. Microsoft used to once advertise with the slogan "Where do you want to go today?" These days it seems to me they're not going anywhere, just running in circles.
Again, for core routers, not at all. The UUID is random; it has the same order of lookup or better; endpoints need only the local routing info in the same way. Caches need only hold active routes, which is orders of magnitude smaller.

The idea that its 'impossible' is 20 year old thinking. That's my whole point. We've wandered into a disappointing, underpowered solution that's not gaining traction. While real future-proof solutions exist right in front of us.

Then of course, so is printing a barcode sticker representing the MAC address of the box you're installing. The basis for any solution that is going to let you install hundreds of hosts comfortably is the manufacturer going out of their way to support that, regardless of whether you're using plain DHCP or DHCPv6.
Programming Hello World
So strange they chose Slack and Discord when they had a perfectly fine IRC server (that now is deprecated). Instead of trying to improve IRC (either the protocol or any clients), they chose to go with closed-source hosted platforms. Damn shame.
> The more I think about it, the more I think the right response might have been "No, you can't do that, because those kids are at a different table. If we added another third of the kids at the same table...", and move on. Ignore the confusing example and refocus on the simple one.

Yea, the typing (or w/e) is the problem here. I like another posters examples of apples + oranges = fruits.

Otherwise you could further blow their minds. Where 1/3 + 1/3 == 2/6 and 2/6 is equal to 1/3 so 1/3 + 1/3 == 1/3. Hah. Understanding the incompatibility, or at least difference between the first, second and resulting fractions seems essential to understand.

False. That is one of the effects of lockdown. We need to try compare the level, but people are being injured and dying because of the lockdown.

I'm curious what makes you guys different from Personal Capital?
1 & 2 are related and false. It's nice to have multiple addresses but nothing about v6 says you can't tether in the same way as you did on v4 it's just simpler to avoid if you can.

That being said these arguments are very narrow focused anyways and that's the real reason they are weak - phones connect to more than just the telco provider which is what the article covers.

If you want "theory" lookup Bernays and read his books about propaganda. Something more practical is anything David Oglivy has written. For copywriting check out "The Adweek Copywriting Handbook" by Sugarman. Unfortunately, I can't recommend any design specific books as I'm a media buyer and trash at design.

This was a rabbit hole they needn't traveled into. Buy the DRM version (if that's all they could find), then download a deDRM'd version from the internet. There are plenty of places to do this, Google being one (intitle:index.of blah blah and such).
Do you think this actually hurts sales though? I’ve always been of the impression that the vast majority of people pirating wouldn’t have bought it anyways. Yes they’re getting it for free, but at least they’re enjoying your work when they wouldn’t have otherwise.

The lock-down has never been about saving lives. It's about preventing the chaos that would occur if we did nothing and let the health care system crash.

People in charge get this, sure saving lives is nice, but it's about maintaining the order of things.

You really think if this went out of control people would not pull a gun in a hospital to get their relative help? Or groups of people would not be targeted, even more than they are now, as scapegoats?

Even now it's acknowledged that many more are going to get it, many more will die, but at least things will not spiral out of control and we will be able to manage the hospitalization rates.
The right response could then be expanded...

"No, you can't do that, because those kids are at a different table. If you want to add Jack and Brad you have to go back and see their fraction _of both tables_. They are each 1/6 so together they are 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6"

Then you could talk about if the ratios are same at both tables 1/3. Adding both tables together keeps the ratio. 1/3 + 1/3 = 1/3.

> It's always the same experience working with AI/ML engineers:

This is about as constructive as most political discourse today (disclaimer: I'm working with both robotics and AI/ML folks right now, and they're all terrific)
I have been in this space in the financial sector for two years. I think this article is mostly spot on. There is one other piece, typically the places that can most benefit from innovation can get most of it just through automation and RPA as it is now called. Basically some guy filling a spreadsheet and copying it someone else, replace that with a bot.

But even that and other processes are difficult because a lot of these corporate enterprises have a bazillion different systems that don't talk to one another. Forget data science or ML, you really just need a unified data view. Typically the workflow is some use case comes, somebody, an analyst manually pulls data from some system via the GUI (because that is all they interact with). A model is built based on that data set and the project stops dead in its tracks from there on because it's impossible to get an API to query for that data from its source system. That is a technology and business process project and will rapidly blow up into a clustefuck.

The key competitive advantage of these so called "technology" companies is really this. The ability to expose any part of your data storage and pipeline to any other part of the organization as a API. Every piece of software is built with that concept in mind.
I used to feel impressed when someone told me they worked at Google. Now i just wonder if they're apart of the teams that make these horrendous decisions and force terrible UX on us and deprecate features that users love.
California has this concept of a “compliance car”. There’s a legal requirement to sell X electric cars, so the manufacturers practically give away small, cheap cars to enable their IC business.

Fiat-Chrysler did it with the 500e, and back in the day the big 3 did it with subsidized Cavaliers and Escorts.
The killer feature for me is almost-instant launch from the command line. I usually use the git CLI. But if I want to inspect the repository history or view a complex diff, then I can quickly run `smerge .` to get a graphical client.
You can't just ignore the fact that people didn't conceive of fractions as the smallest field containing an integral domain with a specific equivalence relation. They are an intuitive idea that has had its grammar formalized. It is absolutely beautiful to see fractions from the ten thousand foot abstractions but you can't skip to the end.

Also, looking at maths from this pure beautiful abstract lens is something that some people (hiii!) enjoy but it's also the common language for modeling problems in the real world. And sure, we do sometimes intentionally confuse the fact that modeling systems with maths is supposed to be descriptive but we have no choice because otherwise we're betraying the fact that the attempt to describe these systems is where the notation came from in the first place.

All this is to say that teaching math is hard and that the abstract "rules" view doesn't do it justice. It's practical for sure but it's also the reason you have lots of students who are good at pushing symbols around but not much else.
Which makes talking about manipulation of HN on HN very difficult.

Nah, because the crime is usually sharing the copy, not downloading (i.e. the upload part of the torrent is the illegal part)
> Paying is always a worse experience than stealing, until you get caught.

Nah.

Take netflix for example: you pay your subscription and you get to watch movies. ez pz.

Now take the pirating route: you have to find torrents, such torrents have to have seeds, you need disk space, you need a torrenting app, you might have to leave your computer turned on for a long time etc etc.

Netflix is sucessful because they managed to make paying better than pirating.
people probably don't like this nitpick because the core meaning of "liberal" is relative, just like "left" and "right". "liberal"/"conservative" may have a different connotation than "left"/"right" depending on context, but they have roughly the same meaning. you always need to know (at least implicitly) what position is being compared against to know what "liberal" means.
Not to mention that if AWS doesn’t price everything correctly someone will find out how to abuse it. For example, if AWS only charged for outbound bandwidth on S3 I could store petabytes of archives for almost free. If they only charged for storage, I would host all my high access, small size files on there for free. S3 is an oversimplification but it applies to other services. If they don’t charge for every way they can lose money on a service, someone will find it out and abuse it.
That's one report from one hospital, in a county with 33 deaths from coronavirus as of a couple days ago.
When you say “squashed” vs “not-squashed”, are you referring to the “squash” merge feature in Github?

If so, that turns a PR branch into a single commit onto the target branch (master). Unless the old branches are kept around, the unsquashed commits won’t be available.
> in a way that wal-mart never was

Wal-Mart carries plenty of stuff, though. If you're going to move towards that kind of regulation for free information services, there has to be some other basis for it.
* Function "sprawl". Managing lots of small functions

* AWS Support Dependency. IMO way better to have amazon managing more but it still increases reliance on amazon and support tickets

* Limited set of input events available. For example it's difficult to use rabbitmq but lambda orchestrates batching and orchestration for SQS

I didn't really mention these because I think they are better than the alternatives :)

I would personally rather manage a bunch of small functions leveraging amazon's documentation, community, clear interfaces, and SDK, than a random OSS async worker framework or homegrown processing system.

Companies that have committed to AWS are already dependent on AWS support, I haven't really found an issue with being more dependent on AWS support :p

The limited set of events has also been a net positive. There are few clearly defined options. I have found the limited choices helps delivery and simplifies architecture; less discussion. Also once a company learns SQS and kinesis, that knowledge is applicable everywhere, since those are the constrained choices.

I would love to hear any experiences where lambda was not a good fit, or did not work out
F# also has support for analyzers that can achieve similar functionality in case you don't want to take a dependency on a type provider.

This reminds me of a homework problem I did in numerical methods where I made a small mistake in the program but still got an answer that was super close the the actual answer out of pure luck. The professor spent a while looking at it knowing it had to be wrong before he ran out the decimals and showed that it didn't converge.

Like many things it can be. And has been used in that way a lot, like other hyped things (blockchain comes to mind). But unlike blockchain, ML has a real use and can be unreasonably effective at certain things. It's not a grift when used for the purposes for which it is effective.
If we keep throwing money at people who refuse to come back to work, then yeah, unemployment will remain high.

There it is. I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. Merge is much quicker to navigate to specific points in time than GitHub and GitLab are, so this should be useful.
I don't think I agree with everything here.

Glossing over critical mental models while explaining new concepts is what creates the confusion. Absolutely using drawings would have made things easier. That's a good way to establish those correct mental models.

"No you can't do that" is probably not the right approach.

The kid's instinct was spot on. The calculation they did was correct, just out of context. Rather than telling them they did it wrong and disrupt their correct mental model, I think it makes way more sense to talk about how what they did is different.
Can you stop to call it serverless? It's like for the cloud, there are servers, just you don't have any control over the servers running your snippets.
This suddenly reminded me that as a kid I somehow learned how to use EDLIN in MSDOS. Once I got 5.0 with the full-screen EDIT, all knowledge of how to use EDLIN immediately left.

I think quitting EDLIN was Q.
Especially considering how lockdown is draconian and medieval. It's a huge cost to pay for uncertain benefits.

We're talking about ending people's livelihoods and violating their rights without definitive, positive scientific evidence that lockdown is effective.

It's pretty clear by now that it's safe to venture outside while practicing social distancing and wearing a mask - at the very least for working-age people.

It also makes sense how this has become politicized. All the elements are there too: mask-wearing and lockdown is such a juicy virtue signal. Anyone that dares to venture outside is some cretin, a murderer.

It’s no joke that SGI machines contain lumps of cast iron. I collected them for a while and I can assure you they are built like tanks.
I tried WSL2 for about six months.

I'm really glad that MS is investing in this and it's an aspect that has been long neglected. If you're a developer, and unless you're using MS stack (.NET), the experience has been always subpar.

I have to agree with the author that the experience is not quite there yet. But a lot of progress has been done. And I hope the progress continues and maybe in the future I'll try it again.

For me there is not a single deal breaker, but it's just a thousand paper cuts. Removing those will take time. Some of the annoying things I encountered:

1. Overall slowness. It's not only startup, it's in general. Not only on heavy tasks like parallel compiling, but even for lightweight stuff, you immediately notice when you try a real linux.

2. Some config like setting up ssh-agent correctly are hard and different than a real linux. No idea why.

3. Windows Terminal development is quite fast, and sometimes things change or break. For instance, the background color of my terminal suddenly changed and I had no idea why. After some googling and modifying config, it was fixed.

4. The fact that it required to sign in for Windows Preview program. (I think this is not required anymore) but it was very annoying as it requires very long updates that require like a million reboots. No idea why Windows has to reboot so many times for a single update. Additionally, after every update there was always surprises. From the harmless Edge popping up from nowhere asking you to become default browser for the nth time, to some hardware misconfiguration. Nothing too bad, but annoying.

5. (This one very subjective of course) The windows UI overall is, how to say it, a mess. Font rendering is awful. The mix of old style UI with new style UI is horrible. Some settings will be in new style, some other settings will be in old style.

As I said, I might try again in the future. But now I switched to Fedora and I'm really really happy with Gnome 3 and good old real Linux. I still have the Windows partition just in case, but I haven't booted in a while.
Whether this is true or not(I can't be bothered to research), it sure feels that way sometimes. I remember recently overhearing what started as a friendly conversation in a waiting room. It devolved into politics, and I remember the black fellow just kinda replying 'I dont care much' or 'yeah, I don't get into that'. Not refuting, just implying he didn't have an opinion. By the end, the older white fellow was fuming at the black guy for not hating Trump because he is bad for black people. Really makes me laugh, even to this day.
Mozilla needs to look in the mirror to fix the internet. Maybe someone else besides Mitchell Baker at the helm can do that.

Is this also your response when someone asks you to grab them a drink since you're already up and in the kitchen?

It isn't about creating an effective charity pattern. It is the fact that these people have to now additionally go out and look all over town for an amount of change that probably isn't even worth the tourists' time spent waiting.

That's easy: the business people don't understand "AI" and the "AI" people don't understand the business.

Well the business people actually do understand AI, but their understanding of it is that it is a marketing tool they can use to sell to customers and/or investors. And in terms of doing that, it AI works very well.
We are actively working on Sublime Text as I type here, and we've got a lot of good stuff coming!

Sublime Merge and Sublime Text share a bunch of low-level code, various aspects like the syntax definitions and engine, the UI library, rendering backends, and a whole bunch more. The higher-level UI components and the exact way they are put together are different, but there is a lot shared.

All of that is to say that we've been busy at work on Sublime Text and have a whole bunch of new features, improvements and bugs fixes that are working their way towards a release.

Some of them are present in Sublime Merge since they are part of the shared code base, but a whole bunch aren't present in Merge since they are the sort of thing you deal with with editing and navigating source code, and not when dealing with version control.

We now have six engineers working at Sublime HQ between the Sublime Text and Sublime Merge products. So we have been growing, and we are still very much dedicated to both Sublime Text, and Sublime Merge.
