Camus famously said that the only serious philosophical question is that of suicide. My impression is that some people see existentialism and the absurdist core of it as an almost nihilistic outlook on life, but I don't agree. Accepting that life is absurd, built on chance and completely lacks reason has for me been the only secular help to accept the random winds of fate that knocks your life over every now and then.

One of Camus best texts in my opinion, not only because of the beliefs expressed but only because of it's welcome brevity and concrete language compared to some other philosophers, is "The Myth of Sisyphus". Instead of painting Sisyphus as a suffering prisoner, he paints him as an absurdist hero with ideals that every human should aspire to.

Like the obsessive cleaning of surfaces in "Jiro Dreams of Sushi", Camus states that "we must imagine Sisyphus happy": the struggle in itself is the meaning. And to my understanding, there's the core of existentialist belief: lacking any God-given, external purpose, we must accept our absurd position, and our individual responsibility to push our stones up the hill, and find happiness doing it.

"Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
This looks great, however at first peek it doesn't mention anything about auth. Do you have any plans for that? For me this is the topic I most want to just delegate to the service.

Dashboard, realtime stuff, etc are great too. RESTful APIs I can of course get with PostgREST [0], which is insanely excellent, so the value I'm looking for is to have everything managed, from hosting/storage, to security, to all the other annoying nitty-gritty that I'm likely to get wrong.

> During Manhattan Project research on the atomic bomb during World War II, American physicists at Purdue University needed a secretive unit to describe the approximate cross-sectional area presented by the typical nucleus (10^−28 m2) and decided on "barn". They considered this a large target for particle accelerators that needed to have direct strikes on nuclei, and the American idiom "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" refers to someone whose aim is very bad. ...

> Other related units are the outhouse (1 μb, or 10^−34 m^2) and the shed (10^−24 b (1 yb), or 10^−52 m^2), although these are rarely used in practice.

You can only charge more if your product is actually better in some way. However, a lot of companies are willingly sacrificing their trusted brands for a quick buck by lowering the quality that made the brand attractive in the first place.
There are two types of people I believe. One is best in creating new stuff. The other is best at managing, running something. I see the same thing with me an my girlfriend.
She always remembers to perform certain activities, but she will not easily think out of the box and do something else. I hate repeating activities, but I like to fix stuff or help here and there. She does not like new activities. This way we both can do the things we like and make the best of our qualities.
It's ridiculous that we've relied on hardware to save us and that we do more and more every day. We clap our hands at a bit of text and some pictures on a screen taking hundreds or thousands of megabytes of memory. This incredible ineffecincy means that computers cost more than they should, not as many people have them as could, that we spend more resources than necessary to make them and more electricity to run them than we need to. Why don't programmers generally understand how incredibly wasteful we are with the resources we've been given.
Steve Jobs feels relevant here. The first iPhone wasn't built by Steve. He didn't design components in CAD, he didn't write software, he didn't create icons in photoshop. He was the art director with the vision that made the phone a revolutionary device.

I recently heard an anecdote about how Steve didn't like the plastic screen on his prototype, only a couple of months before the phone would go on sale. So he said it would go on sale with a glass screen. There was no glass available in the market at that time which would work. Fortunately Corning had something in their research department which worked out perfectly. Steve's (unreasonable at the time) demand, ended up being the seed for gorilla glass being in pretty much every phone now. He didn't invent the glass, he didn't get in touch with Corning, he just got the right team put together to make his vision become reality.

So, pretty much every new medium in history has been accused of formenting conspiracies at one point or the other.

The core issue here is that the internet allows many, many voices to flourish, and some of these voices speculate attractively but incorrectly (from my viewpoint, at least).

Blaming the platform which allows the voices to spread seems like a bad move, given that the core issue is the people who choose to go along with it.

The only way in which I can assume that FB is responsible for all the alternative theories on their platform is by refusing to accept any agency on the part of FB's users, which I think is probably the wrong idea.

As an example, right now you are promoting a narrative on an internet site holding FB responsible for the behaviour of others. Do your readers have so little agency that they will mindlessly act on your words without reflection?

If so, what differentiates your post from a similar post on FB?

If not, what makes FB different?

These are genuine questions by the way, I'm actually interested in your answers.
The "ignored" flag caused macOS to NOT offer the update to the new major version every once in a while (a little popup in the top right corner). It also made the Software Update app report that there are no updates available.

After installing this update, the Update app reports the update to Catalina even though I have ignored the update previously on this machine. This does not mean that Mojave is not getting any more updates, it's just that macOS will nag you to update (but you will still be able to dismiss it manually) without the option to tell it to stop.
I used Beyond Compare starting back in my Delphi days when it was notable for being one of a small handful of popular utilities written in Delphi. It’s a fantastic diff tool but man, it looks super rough in dark mode on Mac and I don’t think that’s been ok for awhile now in a dev tool. The “theming” is really bad.
The C pre-processor doesn't have the monopoly on conditional compilation, it wasn't even the first language to support such features, they were already available in Algol variants and Macro Assemblers.

Ask HN: How to predict next randomly picked element of a list
The Problem

Let's say that we have a machine that spits out a number (between 1 to 15) alongside a color (either green or blue) every 10 seconds.

OK so every 10 seconds we get a number (between 0 to 15) and a color (green/blue), cool, BUT we do not have any clue how these choices are made by the machine, we can just observe the output and record it at best.

The Question

can we use ML to feed in a model with a lot of these numbers and/or colors as they are put out by the machine and after a while let the model predict the next number and/or color which is going to be generated by the machine?

Any thoughts on Auth0?

https://auth0.com/
Since the last Catalina update (10.15.4) Firefox is almost unusable for me, whereas it was buttery smooth before. There are constant multi-second freezes and when I switch tabs I often see a gray loading screen before the content shows up a few seconds later. Never saw that happen before. Maybe it's just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the Catalina update, but I am interested whether other people experience the same.
Last time I tried, it was not at all well documented how to upgrade to Catalina when your iMac's boot drive is 1) an external SSD and 2) not (yet) formatted to APFS. Giving it another try now, but unless it suddenly got a whole lot easier I'll probably be passing again.

Have it on my 2016 and 2019 Airs though, no issues.
The custom Mac builds the Meld site points you at work ok for me on Catalina. The biggest issue is there’s no proper command line utility on Mac for some reason, but the person maintaining the unofficial Mac fork documents an incantation that’ll work for git difftool, using open and Meld.app.
Love this service. Gladly paying a subscription now. It’s like a pihole without having to worry about keeping it running, updated etc. So ideal for not-super-techy people like me.

Point taken. Every time Oracle is mentioned it's in the context of horror licensing stories. I get that - but would it make a difference if I said OCI is actually different?

Take this with as much salt as you want but they're really trying to put that in the past. OCI pricing is super transparent, simple metrics, cheaper than the incumbents on every front, there's no "call us for pricing", there's a transparent 30% discount for committed spending (before you even get to talk to a salesperson) and the dev team has been given free reign to act like a startup and ignore the corporate machine. I'm not a marketing person but I do believe we have a very good offering and it's a shame it's being ignored solely because of bad blood.
I would so watch this. Perhaps it could involve the infamous baguette [1] mutating into something horrifying.

There is no doubt that AWS is more mature. You make few points:
- poor documentation
- no security auditing tool
- API limits.

In my experience 1 and 3 are true for AWS as well. AWS has automated tools to detect things but to say that GCP does not have any such offering is not true. It may not be automated and that goes to the larger point of AWS being more mature.

Developer experience and User education is where GCP needs a lot of catch up to do.
See my comments on Auth here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23320443

> We want to nail the auth and we're looking at leveraging Postgres' native Row Level Security. This is a tricky task to "generalize" for all businesses but we have some good ideas (we're discussing in our repo if you want to follow - https://github.com/supabase/supabase)

That's what we use! See our supporting libraries:

>"Uber is ready to move its regional headquarters to Hong Kong... but regulatory certainty is key," Chung said. "It's time for the government to regulate ride-sharing so we can bring jobs and investment to Hong Kong."

Chung said that the move is contingent on the city's regulatory policies changing and that no decision has yet been made.

So it's literally just a more or less open attempt at regulatory capture? The looks of it aside this honestly seems short-sighted given the deteriorating political situation.

That’s not at all what “cynical” means. From Merriam-Webster: “contemptuously distrustful of human nature and motives.”

I intended exactly that meaning. Not “being overly negative.”

And your response solidifies my diagnosis. Do you permit no noble actions by mankind? Is all corrupt, inept, perverted? That way of looking at the world is poison.
Love it, used it, mildly dislike the pricing.

But generally I'm of the opinion that auth tightly integrated into the platform has a lot of advantages. My dream is to avoid (almost) all glue between my components, I think Firebase became successful in big part because of that.

Why? Surely reviewing content is a perfect candidate for remote work?
If you have large amount of people for these tasks, you need to give clear guidelines for them to get consistent results.

Also you can’t expect people to put their heart and soul to this kind if grunt work - reviewing content and complaints all day long.

In the end it might be that humans just become robots on task like this.

I agree for most of our usage we dont need it. But it is often the peak that a system is designed for. And while my NAS cant bump out 1GB/s just yet. It could easy do 200 - 500MB/s.

And I often dont like the idea running into limits with Gigabits Ethernet, which is fine on itself. I just prefer to have headrooms.

For wireless that is entirely different. WiFi, even 802.11ax just aren't suited for multiple user with constant connection. People now prefer to use 4G / LTE for their speed and reliability. And that is why I would have liked to see LTE on Un-Licensed spectrum.
Every provider has their own walled garden. Several offerings just tie companies to the vendor. For example, with AWS - services like ECS, EKS or even Redshift go very well with the AWS ecosystem. Try getting data into Redshift for example.
My note-taking app is basically this script:

Will there be any significant improvements in Sublime Text? Reading through the changelog it seems ST4 is mostly polishing and playing fetchup with VS Code, but adding nothing revolutionary which could be sold as a killer-feature.

For example, vim can offer modal editing, composable commands and a builtin commandline with ex-mode as it's killer-features. Emacs, well it's emacs, it always has much going, but lately it got some additional stuff like which-keys, hydra-mode and magits transient commands, which all innovate the editor-game quite strong.

Compared to that, ST seems to be quite conservative and only competing on a very small area.

I cant tell wether the statement that Russia had “soul” is because of the stockholm syndrome or something else, but how can you say that considering millions of people have been deported to gulags in the early days of communism, and hundreds of millions are still suffering today because of communist regimes Russia imposed on their countries? Do I get a sense of someone decrying the collapse of the SU? The political entity that literally massacred the cultures of millions of east europeans? Think again about what you wrote.
But there's also a tendency I've noticed of American female writers to pepper their writing with expletives, as if this makes them come across as tough, when for me it achieves the exact opposite.
ETH Oberon was not derived from Smalltalk. I implemented both systems, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk and https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon and can say for sure they have very little in common.

Wirth was inspired by the Alto, Dorado and the Mesa and Cedar programming systems. The Alto OS (the first GUI desktop and WYSIWYG word processor and DTP applications Bravo and Gypsy) was implemented in BCPL (precursor of C), not in Smalltalk. Many people seem not to know, but you can look at all the source code at the Computer History Museum.

> Why would it shorten the growth period compared to mainstream platforms, where there are far more users who could join the community?

Because networks tend to follow an exponential growth rate.
The time it takes to go from 1 to 128 equals the same time it takes to go from 128 to 16384, so if you add 127, you've shortened the time for the network to grow from 1 to 16384 by half. Meanwhile, for a platform that already had 16384, subtracting 127 is a drop in the bucket.

> Is there any evidence that this is the case?

Facebook/Youtube/Twitter/et al couldn't have grown as much as they did as fast as they did unless that was the case.

This is actually how we started. I was using Firebase and hit some scale problems. We decided to migrate to Postgres, and I still needed the realtime functionality.

I started naively: just with triggers/NOTIFY. There were a few tedious things about this approach (creating a trigger for every table), and one major flaw: NOTIFY has an 8000 byte payload limit. So we were getting dropped notifications.

I looked into a few other ways to do it, but nothing fit 100%. So I built it, but of course with the help of other awesome opensource libraries.

Using the logical decoding is an amazing solution, mostly because you get message replay if there is an outage. More details in the repo: https://github.com/supabase/realtime

I'm on High Sierra on one Mac and Mojave on another.

Other than APFS, I cannot see any real differences in usability, other than opening quickview and then pressing shift and up to go to the previous file in a list (so you could look over many photographs and select them so as to choose which ones to delete) is now busted in Mojave and will only show the first file selected, making quickview now useless.

In High Sierra and prior (back to Snow Leopard at least?) this would work and show you the preview of the most recently highlighted item, so in a selection of 20 items, if you shift-up select item 21 you see 21. Now you only see item 1 all the time. It's a great annoyance.

So no I cannot think of a reason to upgrade.
