Interesting. Could be useful for high-load, however for quick setup feels like a little bit complicated.
Are any known UI, or scheduler settings?

Following is a general response for similar questions.

I pretty sure it's possible to do the same thing as trusted-cgi by combining several tools: cron + nginx/nginx-unit + some deployment + stats + whatever.

It could be faster, more flexible, but... I am not sure that I will personally want to setup it each time for new boxes. Or write auto-install scripts. I would like to write logic, not make environment.

Benefits trusted-cgi are: low resource usage (very low), easy setup, web UI and focus on including several features in one package.

It's possible to find better solutions for each parts, but I would like hear product that providing complete solution instead of providing "bricks". I am a big fan UNIX way, but sometimes we need an assembled thing, instead of another piece of constructor.
This gives a very helpful geometrical description which finally let SVMs make sense to me. The weights are a vector normal to a family of planes and the optimization finds the two parallel planes that most separate two categories of data.

Solving the optimization is performed in terms of the inner product of data vectors. This inner product can be replaced by a function of the inner product (the kernel) in order to transform the data which may otherwise overlap into a space where a separating plane may be found.
This is great!! Blender is SO HUGE, even after years learning it I've not yet dabbled much into scripting, but it's the spirit of sharing like this that lets us dive in to an examples and learn so much!!

Blender is truly remarkable software, and it just keeps getting better and better! I'm loving the 2.83 beta grease pencil updates.
Any job you see posted on the internet is seen by many many other people around the world. It probably attracts thousands of resumes. This means most of the 'hiring' process is finding ways to reject resumes quickly to make the numbers manageable. Suppose there are 1000 applicants and 100 of them meet the requirements. Ten of them get phone screens. Three get an on-site. One gets hired. 1000 applicants is optimistic. It is probably several times. Particularly for a job listed at an aggregator. If it's easy for you to see a job, it is easy for thousands of other people.
"Those that can't do, teach."
Slashdot has that, somehow.

Up/downvotes has categories. For upvotes there are interesting, insightful, informative and funny. For downvotes there are troll, flamebait, redundant, offtopic. There are also the general categories overrated and underrated. You can also flag posts for things like spam.

It is not a full review but it is better than nothing. Also, users can give out weights per category. For example if you don't want to see jokes, you can lower the value of "funny".

I don't subscribe to your religion, so that's ok with me. I happen to think searching (and registering) social media is a progressively enlightened activity, similar to having any other record of action (criminal history) as an enduring element of identity.

> The people who say "it could be worse" are part of the problem.

Having a different standard of acceptability is not "part of a problem", from my perspective of what constitutes problems. Setting up an us vs them isn't a compelling call to action.
I’m talking about their message board contributions, obviously.

That someone might have a normal life outside of screaming at women and minorities online doesn’t have a ton of relevance on the forum where they’re doing the screaming.
Yeah I can't speak to other Uni's but I went to a very large school in VA, and we had plenty of extra credits for electives. With a some creative picks, and a couple of summer courses taken for fun, I was able to tack on a 2nd major and a minor.

Disclaimer: I was former military and had a GI bill, plus a job with reasonably flexible hours while in school. This might not be a universal case for folks with lots of loans in an isolated college town.
Section 230 is essentially about the ability to quote someone else without fact checking or taking responsibility for what was said. It has nothing to do with neutrality and never had anything to do with neutrality until recent efforts to manufacture outrage started conflating Section 230 and the entirely unrelated concept of free speech.

J.P. Morgan suddenly appears to be going all in on crypto
I was going to make the snap judgment that HN happens to be popular among computer programmers, an occupation that is fairly unique in terms of providing lucrative indoor work without strictly needing college training. Many of the programmers of my generation (graduated high school in 1982) have little or no formal training in programming.

I don't know anybody who learned math or physics outside of a college classroom. Maybe there are some out there, but I haven't met them.

But it goes further. What strikes me is not only an anti-university sentiment, but also a strong anti high school sentiment. I've been surprised by the number of comments from people who are obviously smart and diligent enough to be programmers, but for whom high school was a disaster. And it occurs to me that this does reveal that education is not serving everybody equally well.

So, even though I value my university education, I'm still interested in hearing how others have experienced it. However for students, my advice is that you have to find the thing that makes college worthwhile for you. If you go in with a cynical attitude, that it's just "signaling" or "networking," then you are likely to be blinding yourself to the other kinds of opportunities that it presents.

You as an individual might not care what the rest of the world thinks but it matters to America as whole what the rest of the world thinks. There are genuine effects economically, culturally and militarily that reaches every US citizen in some form or the other. Unless you retreat into some form of isolationism so severe it is without historical precedent then you will care.
At the point your threat model includes nation states of note — in my opinion, any recommendation of Tor should acknowledge why Tor would not increase threats instead of reducing them.
I don't disagree that degrees and college education are important, but I don't think pointing to wealthy people is good evidence. Many of the wealthiest billionaires dropped out of school, didn't even go, or didn't consider it important. There are also many wealthy via inheritance. So, looking at the wealthy is not the demographic cohort that reveals the value of higher education.

The reasons to attend college are more than moneymaking. Social networking, maturation, shared experience, opportunities to expand your knowledge beyond online tutorials, college offers many interesting experiences that going straight to work will not.

> People are out there protesting because the problem is bad enough that it warrants risking lives over. And not just in an "I might catch COVID" way: People are being teargassed and shot.

I think the vast, vast majority are truly risking nothing and know it. What you see in the media are the tiny minority who know what they're getting into.

> This cuts both ways: there's a lot of people who have a vested interest in making things appear better than they are. Consider this: I'm an outsider, and have no horse in that demented race. I follow what's happening over there because what does happen may impact my country. What I see does not look good, and there isn't really a debate about this on this side of the atlantic.

I understand what you see doesn't look good, but what you're seeing is entirely filtered through what traditional and social media want you to see. You (presumably) don't have family all over the country you stay in contact with who know what it's really like here.

And what is it like? There were some protests in certain areas of big cities. For everyone else (the vast, vast majority), it was just another weekend.

> The fact that whether your country is doing as bad as it appears to be is even in question just shows how divisive your media is.

Media is supposed to be divisive. If you're getting only one perspective from your media, you should already be concerned.

> Well I'm glad to read that, but in this thread, warrantless browser history requests aren't the only thing you've been downplaying. Personally, I think you're trying to convince yourself that things aren't "that bad". The longer you do so, the harder it's going to hit when you realize not only it is that bad, but it's only gotten worse since.

We're not at war. COVID-19 is on the way out. The fact that people are protesting over-emphasized police brutality is evidence things aren't as bad as they are. They're not protesting a lack of food, or access to drinkable water. Let's try and keep things in perspective here.

> One of my dreams is when I retire to finally go to university and get a proper degree.This more for emotional sentiment

I'm around same age and experience, though I'm actually getting a degree now. My advice is - don't. It's an unbelievable waste of money and time. My initial goal was to leverage the degree into a better job but my plans changed and now I'll just be left with a useless piece of paper.
In any case, getting a degree once you retire would be even worse. Work on some real world project that you enjoy, rather than settling for doing menial tasks, doled out by people who may know less about the subject than you do, while being rewarded with virtual points/grades.
To do it in true FAANG style, you'd need to collude with all the other parents to set the market rate lower and ensure noone offers your babysitter anything higher.
I don't get that at all. There is more communication going on now, than at any point in history. Easy proof: the internet and Twitter exist now. How is this an erosion of free speech? Almost every last dope in the country can blurt out nonsense 100 times a day (look at our POS).

Racial injustice is a smell people can either deal with or not but it’s all over the air. What does Black 2030 smell like? Optimistic?

For people who make it through the initial technical screening to the on-site round, I think there's probably a positive correlation to outcome for those who are self-taught. (I equally suspect there's a higher percentage filtered out before on-site, of course.)

It's not just media, it's everything. Most horizontal surfaces in a train will be filled with colourful advertisements [0], many major city streets have bright attention-grabbing signs not only at street level but at every level of every building [1], stores will have visual noise everywhere too [2].

And it's not just visual noise either. Indoors, trains have numerous announcements, elevators tell you when the doors are opening and closing and most shops have some music playing, sometimes quiet, sometimes blaring and obnoxious. Outside it's not uncommon to see giant TV's mounted on buildings (complete with audio) or to loud music or people yelling advertisements for their store.

Though that was mostly my experience in some of the more active parts of Tokyo. Smaller cities and quieter reasons are less noisy.

Less developed countries where most things will pass are highly underrated. People have incentives to work it out for themselves. Although the bureaucratic state might be enormous on paper, in practice freedom fills the void where there is no enforcement.

Of course there are downsides as well, but you learn how to work it.

Then there is also the cost of living.
If you're in India (and I'd imagine most other developing countries), getting a degree is one of the most surefire methods of ensuring that you live a good life.

It's much less the case in Western countries, especially here in Australia, where tradespeople tend to earn on-par or more than white collar professionals.

The jobpairing.com platform assists both career-oriented individuals and employers in driving contemporary workplace arrangements. Employees benefit by increasing work-life balance and creating flexibility to pursue other important aspects in their lives. Employers benefit by reducing the costs of rehiring and increased employee satisfaction, productivity and diversity. A number of employers are currently tapping into the benefits of offering job sharing as an option.

Create your jobpairing.com profile and find your job mate—your life is waiting for you!
Deeply the Coronavirus Changed Our Behavior
Across the board. I think a variety of factors contribute to some groups being more likely to commit violent crimes, resist arrest, run from police, etc., and this leads to a higher likelihood of bad police outcomes.

That's not to say it justifies police brutality, of course, but again: it's statistics at a macro level.
Yes! Whenever I hear somebody complaining about the price of a plumber or other trade, I say "Yeah! Where do they get off, wanting to earn a living? Why can't they just live in a van down by the river like their parents?!"

I really want to like Dexed (I love FM synthesis). But (I'm using it on a Mac, if that makes any difference):

• After clicking on a knob, I should then be able to use the up and down arrow keys to move the value up and down.

• I should be able to type in the numeric value I want a selected parameter to be.

If the interface had these two features, it would be perfect. Without them, for me, it is unusable for programming sounds.
American here who fully disagrees, particularly on the first part. Even in today's craziness worldwide it's clear the US has fucked up worse than many other countries.

I'm not going to live and die on external opinions but calling it irrelevant simply isn't accurate. In fact, I hope that the global protests may actually help change things for the better here. The sad thing is that it appears current politicians don't care about the world standing of the US, and that could get dangerous.
> Having a different standard of acceptability is not "part of a problem", from my perspective of what constitutes problems.

Since you're in favour of said policy, I'm going to put aside whether or not it's a good idea to do this.

More simply, my point is that claiming "things could be worse" is a problem and only serves as a path for things to get worse.

Politics is like a plane crash. You can choose to correct course when the sensors start pointing in the wrong direction. If you keep going, you can still try to alleviate the issues even when it's too late to prevent some kind of disaster. You can crash and maybe still salvage something. But at no point in that whole chain of events is it productive to say "things could be worse".

Ok, things could be worse. Then what do you do when they do get worse?
I have projects that people consider impressive already. Here is what I've been told from various managers-

>Only hire computer scientists

>I don't have relevant work experience (which means taking a 60k/yr web dev job to begin my career?)

>My projects are good, but I need to contribute to open source projects.

The reason for the degree is to get access to high quality programming jobs rather than 60k/yr web dev. Not to mention, I imagine I'll learn everything about security and algorithms which I'm sure are weaknesses.
You've got me beat. I learned to program in the late 70's taking adult evening classes at local university (PL/1 punched card batch system), got my first home computer in 1979(NASCOM-1 Z80 1MHz kit - DIY solder assembly), took Math/CS in university, then started programming professionally in 1982, and still going strong.

My first job was at Acorn Computers Ltd (UK), writing Acorn ISO Pascal in 6502 assembler, and fast forward almost 40 years currently working for major Telecom writing C++ frameworks/libraries for Linux. Still enjoy it as a hobby too, currently writing my third C++ neural network framework (full blown, GPU accelerated, etc), with lifetime goal of eventually building autonomous robot with animal/human level AI.

From the inside (UK -> US immigrant), it is really bad right now. From an American perspective, maybe it is not so bad as we think because of the difference in 'overton windows'. We now have the president essentially demanding the criminalization of left wing politics, and there is a large contingent of support in the Republican base, gorged on misinformation, frothing at the mouth at the prospect of throwing anyone to the left in Gitmo. Considering that the politics of most of Europe are considered to be communism by many in the US, it's worrying to say the least. The US is very clearly, very openly sliding into a degenerate fascist state.
This over-deep thread is why jokes are discouraged in HN comments.
There must be some formal and rigorous way to argue against such crazy complex plans. Because I've seen my share as well, almost universally disastrous.

Perhaps they are optimizing for the "best possible" outcome rather than the "most likely" outcome? And I feel like that could be illustrated with a probability distribution. There would be bulge above "bad" on the horizontal and just the thinnest tail poking rightwards towards "great".
Wow, yeah, that blog post doesn't really address the concerns here. The focus is all on "helping Microsoft build WinGet" and they're just admitting that they used Keivan's ideas without so much as an apology for leading him on and ghosting him. This has been some totally unprofessional behavior from Microsoft, and it shows that they see the open source community as free development resources that they're free to just lift the best ideas from without properly consulting the developers.
