This is why your CI system should record statistics on which tests failed and when.

A test with a pattern of failing intermittently over its entire lifetime is most likely a flaky test. Disabling the test modifies a bunch of metrics, like skipped tests and code coverage (woe be unto you if some idiot set it up so you can't commit code that lowers test coverage, instead of just warning you).

There are much bigger and more likely sources of regression in the code than a new concurrency bug in code covered by a test that already has a concurrency bug in it. Like someone modifying a test to match the regression they just created.

If there is a concurrency or randomness bug in the untested code, that will probably surface when trying to write a robust test to replace the old one. If not by the author, then by the person the author asks for help when they can't figure it out.

That's fascinating. I assume it was banned/controlled for religious reasons? But then the religion doesn't fork until 1534 (Church of England), so why would it have been banned earlier, and why the difference with other countries?
This price for an Aeron is very good -- but in my metro (LA), this kind of price is not attainable, so don't wait for it. I paid around $450 about 10 years ago.
Paying for your bandwidth and metal isn't a problem per-se as long as prices are reasonable (which they are with the old-school bare-metal providers). After all, those services do cost money to provide.

The problem happens when prices are extortionate (or the pricing model is predatory, ie pay per MB transferred instead of a flat rate per 1Gbps link) and relatively minor traffic translates to a major bill.

This particular issue is about 80 requests/second which is a drop in the bucket on a 1Gbps link. It would be basically unnoticeable if it wasn't for the cloud providers nickel & diming their customers.
I'm not sure if it's exhaustive, but any test with a dynamic dependency is one I would likely classify as "flaky", like anything hitting another system. Draw your own boundaries as fit around what "dynamic" means (ex: some might say static files are OK, others not).

Also, I'm talking every-commit, unit-level testing for context.

My online CV: http://vedran.codes

Hey! I am an experienced Backend Web Developer, mostly working with Ruby and Rails. I have also experience with setting up and maintaining a smaller server architecture.

My work experience extends to optimising existing codebases, best practice implementations, payment and CRM integrations, and code reviews :D

Throughout my career I have worked remotely with large and small teams and companies.

I have also worked with non-technical founders, helping them develop MVP applications to start-up their business.

I am immediately available for full/part time contracts
I wrote "scientific community".
What I meant is the "relevant scientific community", it wasn't evident apparently.

Also the selection of the reviewers is just partially depends on the expertness already, several other aspects affect it quite a lot. Not to mention that why a certain selection should be the one why not an other, why not the relevant community chooses the reviewers then?
Just because not every details are fined carved the idea should not be dropped.
(I was participating in certain peer review processes where I was an almost outsider and very far from being an expert, I have little conviction that the current one works well)

I use RDP multiple times every day. I have tested Linux RDP server implementations and they are very buggy and really not production ready only NX kinda is (yet not as good as MS RDP). VNC is so bad and lacks so many features that it's not even considered a competition - it's old insecure slow protocol that should be forgotten by now.
All art worlds, including the international fine art world, require an amount of buy-in, or, if you'd like, delusion. The fine art consensus about what art is and what art is worthwhile is built on centuries of conceptual, aesthetic, philosophical, and market progression. If you don't believe in it, it's not for you. The problem with The Art World is that people think it's THE art world. There are many art worlds. You can always find another "art world", like that of C64 graphics creators. See people making motion graphics on Instagram, wallpaper artists on DeviantArt, folk artists around the world, hobbyist landscape artists. All of these have theories of what's worthwhile and what's not. It's unreasonable to use the standards of one in another. If, in The Art World, a clay folk figuring is cool but not worthy of exhibition, in the Indian folk art world, it might be what's actually worth making and continuing to make, not a white canvas.
It doesn't fit in the acronym

What I usually see is both MS and Amazon are part of the "big 5" tech companies/"tech giants" where Netflix isn't. I think FAANG is really more about stock performance and hype in the past 5 or 6 years (though to be fair, MS has had a really good run in this time span as well).

Has always seemed like a rhetorical device to me. In effect no job is actually bullshit since if it was it would be eliminated. The truest "bullshit" job is one where you are absolutely irreplacable for a single, trivial piece of knowledge. I.E. I'm the only one who can print the records at the end of the year, and otherwise I do (practically) nothing. That's how I've always thought of it, but others may disagree.

Often times it feels like a way for creatives and engineers who make the product to express some (rightful) resentment towards the folks who manage people and business.
it's well understood at this point that both Facebook and Twatter are applying a different set of rules to Trump's account than to "normal" accounts. So this is not surprising at all, it's what you would expect: Trump's posts on both platforms, when made by other users, lead to post deletion.

None of this should be surprising, both Dorsey and Zuck have explicitly decided to keep the Trump posts undeleted. This is probably due to a combination of their libertarian mindset, and some reasoning about what the expected outcomes of deleting Trump tweets would be.
Possibly trying to avoid people sending them a different version of the page than users would see (of course they could change the page after the initial caching of a preview, but Twitter might refresh/check them later).

Also, you often need an impressive amount of the stuff thats in a normal UA string for random sites to not break/send you the "unsupported browser, please use Netscape 4 or newer!!!" page/..., although you normally can fit an identifier of what you really are at the end. (As an example, here's an iOS Safari user agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 13_3_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.0.5 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" - it's not Mozilla, it's not Gecko, but it has those keywords and patterns because sites expect to see that)

I mean if you're told 100% of what you need to get into a FAANG company but can't that's all on you. Trying to brush it off as "leetcode their socks" vs preping for a test you know well in advance is hyperbole.
Ok, given your comments and the BBC probably being reliable on the topic of English theatre, I've reverted back to the original title. Thanks!
Hm, perhaps the HN should be closed as well and everyone should have their own blog instead?... or ask the peer reviewers to discuss and judge papers on their blogs instead?
Support for 8K HDMI out tells me it's most likely rendering the games at 4K. There's no way that something with that hardware spec could render at 8K with any kind of usable frame rate. With $5500 and a credit card right now I could just barely build an x86-64 desktop capable of rendering games at 8K, poorly, at 20fps.

It'll be much the same way that an Xbox One S renders games at 1080p, but supports 2160p60 output, with a 1:4 upscaled output. The upscaler is not a difficult piece of silicon.
In the EU we got a pop-up letting us choose a different browser.

Beyond that it didn't have much effect directly but it also stopped Microsoft been so hilariously agressive in other ways (though that's a harder effect to pin down, 2000-era Microsoft was a shark with bloodlust).

gimp has always been one of the ugliest user interfaces. even now it looks significantly worse than most linux apps.
That is not a nature unlike any other dog. Nor are pit bulls the biggest or most ferocious, not even close. Even a cursory glance at dog breeds reveals much bigger threats.
Yeah! also looks low on practicality without flat surface
I think it's more of a philosophy problem. In FOSS you have the power and will to get things done, so you don't want to be waiting for sketches or in an endless discussion about details with a designer.

Commercial products work on different timelines and have different goals, and ultimately the developers are often not the users so they don't really care one way or other to follow somebody else's design.

Ideally you get somebody who is both a great designer and a coder but those are few (Asesprite comes to mind)
That's true, but I meant the general-purpose CPU.
A previous version of 2.10 broke so many things for me on macOS it was unusable. I also went back to 2.8, 2.8.22 specifically. The things that broke were tiny little trivial sounding behaviors that would be hard to document in a ticket, or subtle to describe, yet with huge workflow impact. I feel little hope anyone working on the project noticed what they had broken, or will understand what was lost, or would think that any of the tickets, if reported, would merit prioritization, but together they added up to quite a setback. I'm thinking it will take a few rounds of major updates to make it worthwhile for me to try again.
The ones I've seen could be downloaded as ordinary .PDFs if you select that option in the menu.

I've contributed heavily to IA in the past and would never stick up for traditional publishing in a fight like this one. But turning themselves into a modern-day Pirate Bay was a suicidal tactic on their part. I can only hope they're playing some kind of long game that outsiders can't yet appreciate.
I suspect that most apps have a way to turn this off. Slack certainly does. That doesn't stop other users from seeing previews of your links, if it's set up that way for them, but it does prevent you from seeing previews of others' (and your own) links.
> Before disabling the test, does anyone even consider the possibility that maybe it's not the test that's flaky, but that the software under test is itself buggy in a non-deterministic way?

I work on the team that build the system in the article. When we disable tests we ask our developers investigate the root cause. Most of the time it is related to application code, so fixing a intermittently failing test definitely isn't related to the test itself, but is often a result of multiple factors.
Tests that hit dynamic data stores like DBs don't fail very often due to network speed constraints compared to configuration, system updates, security, schema changes, and a myriad of other time-consuming hard to diagnose problems. It's easier to just prevent these situations.

In the abstract I'm not sure what a test that talks to the database is actually testing.
Covid-19 Nearly Killed This Office Furniture Startup; Home Offices May Save It
I asked ACM and the response was that the change came from O'Reilly and ACM sent the mail as soon as they could. O'Reilly declined to offer any discount for ACM members that would move to a subscription. However, there is an extension for the offering until June 22nd to ease the transition.

Still, I am very disappointed in O'Reilly. The $499/year is too much for their offering IMO.
Slack, and I suspect most other messaging apps, has such a config option.
Why was MCTS (or some search variant) not used in alphastar ?

(Sure, u need to somehow roll forward and rollback the StarCraft world, but for Atari using MCTS was shown to be an order of magnitude more efficient )

I have also seen comments that the search width is too large, or maybe academic purity consideration?

I'm sorry but to me it seems to me that a lot of freight miles could be done with rail, of course you can't replace road freight (yet?), but in terms of ton-distances, rail should still be a viable alternative to reduce carbon emissions on large distances, in many cases. The logistics of course are a little hairy, but the carbon situation makes it necessary anyways.
Everyone here is imagining all the technical ways to replace publishers. That's quite feasible as you and others point out. I think there is also real work needed to solve social (people) problems, for example:

- explain to the stakeholders by preparing various text and other media about how your format/venue/website is different and better, and convince them that this solves a real problem they should care about

- solicit requirements from universities, funding agencies, various governments, about archiving and metadata requirements. Consider security, accessibility, long-term preservation, financial model, etc.

- respond to the questions and pushback from numerous stakeholders about problems (real or not) about your proposed solution, debate them in a polite and professional way in semi-public forums, converge on a solution that's acceptable (or at least not overly repulsive) to the key stakeholders. Deal with any PR backlash, response from existing publishers, etc.

- inform authors, potential authors, readers, journalists, universities administrators, students, etc. that there is a new publishing format/venue/website and that it is well managed and has a plan to be around for a long time

- coordinate and schedule a team of people to work on this with you, to figure out policies (author plagiarism, recruiting editors if needed, dealing with potential lawsuits, bad actors, copyright and IP issues, etc.)
Interesting that they don't talk about Bazel. Isn't skipping tests like this one of its biggest selling points, particularly for monorepo users?
I was using an analogy with the brain. You don't have to replicate a brain for full self driving.
Best guess: Jim Keller came in with guns blazing about how Moore's law is not dead and if you believe so you're stupid.

He was a comp-architecture guy counting on the device/physics folks to deliver. They didn't, while Jim put his reputation on the line. He probably resigned in disappointment and/or protest.

- Moore's law is dead at the physics level.

- Exponential tech progress doesn't stop but it won't be in the form of Si FETs, at least not in the foreseeable future.

- There is plenty of opportunity at the higher layers of abstraction though.

- Fortunately the AGI problem has escaped Moore's law (AGI can happen with existing node technology). And in my opinion that's all that matters for the next 10 years.
I really don't have this problem at all when working on personal projects--my problem is very much the opposite. Deep down, what I want to do at my job but never have time to do, is create something absolutely perfect. So when I'm working on a personal project, which has no time constraints, I work through the edge cases and UX far more than is necessary or reasonable. That level of perfectionism is why all my personal projects always feel almost-done.

According to this site[1], the GDPR would likely delegitimize most of the social media checks. "The GDPR also requires that employers only view social media profiles when the information is relevant to the position being applied for.

The advice also warns that, “The employer should – prior to the inspection of a social media profile – take into account whether the social media profile of the applicant is related to business or private purposes, as this can be an important indication for the legal admissibility of the data inspection.”

This means that while business networking sites such as LinkedIn may be considered fair game, platforms used for more personal purposes, such as Facebook and Instagram, are possibly not relevant."

I don't live in the EU, though, so I'm oblivious of the details.

How much weight is in the trailer for that 500 miles range? If the answer is zero tons then it is completely meaninless.

The Tesla site doesn't qualify what 500 miles means. For trucks load-range matters, not empty range.
LOL. This will not end well.

When will they declare independence? That’s when the fun will really begin.
I don't feel entitled to it, I just consider the prevalence of copyleft bad for the developer community. License however you want, doesn't mean I'm entitled for criticizing it.

What might be stinking of entitlement is the idea users have an inalienable right to source code.
I am not blind to it. I specifically mention it repeatedly in this thread. But I am calling out how that isn’t slung at most white executives with the frequency or strength of conviction that is directed at minorities. There is a baseline assumption that certain people must have the baseline competence to warrant getting an opportunity it just so happens the baseline fits things that white men have had greater access to in the past elite education, prestigious work experience, social networks of friends and allies among other markers. I am glad Michael had elements of those so he can ply a role in progress. I hope he uses that position to help others of all demographic backgrounds. I trust he will.

What’s your solution then? Easy to question the balance of my argument and not actually propose a constructive solution.

I despise all the fancy aeron chairs (they appear to be classic cargo cult science) and favor a couple of old Eames and Corbusier chairs. Just curious what works for others in the "chair that grandparents would recognize as chair" category.
As an independent consultant, Linked-In has worked well for me. I've been contacted there for more opportunities that I can count - real customers. I have very few recruiter contacts and weed them from my list every once in a while. In fact, I received a referral a couple weeks ago that's a paying customer today.

One of the things I do that I don't see much is to reach out and stay in contact with people occasionally. Sometimes I'll make a referral too. Networking works many ways and you have to give to get. (#givefirst) Sometimes just replying to the anniversary, new job, or giving a technology kudo means something to some people (maybe more so in a pandemic world).

I also like the points that a few other folks made that customers almost always look at the Linked-In profile.
We as users are not really Google's customers. What I'm not hearing much/any of is companies reducing their adword spend or use of Google apps based on Google's business practices.
In this case black refers to the card type, and the black type is associated with necromancy and the demonic. I assume that is what foul is referring to?
No, it's probably shit like Driver Signature Enforcement. I've been doing everything I can in order to keep my Vaio Z-Series able to avail itself of new drivers from Nvidia, but since Sony abandoned maintenance, and no one else will, the community of users that like the platform have gone through gargantuan efforts to try to get drivers working for it.

Which Windows 7 now refuses to load, because they aren't blessed by Microsoft, who've officially discontinued support.

Microsoft can go to hell in that regard. I didn't ask for them to backport their driver nanny onto my machine at the behest of the media industry. They broke my machine, not the other way around.

I expect to be able to compute. Not be patted on the head and fed platitudes that "Oh, we can't let you do that. We have agreements to abide by which you were never considered to be a party to, yet nevertheless, will be subject to."

If I have to learn to handcode UEFI assembly to un-f my machine, so be it. I could probably load Linux on it, or uninstall that update in particular, but to be frank, at this point, my quest to lobotomize Windows has become a project continued out of spite. I will not accept this kind of velvet gloved, law by corporate compact. Users deserve better. If other companies are so on their last leg they need to excise huge chunks of user agency to remain viable as businesses, that is not my concern. My machine, at a fundamental level, is mine. Not the OS vendors.

We used to do what seemed like a beeter job at respecting that. Alas, those days are seemingly long gone or on the way out.
Thanks for your contribution! I can't find it in the usual open archives. You might want to deposit the code on Zenodo, so it gets long-term preservation and a citable DOI.

> e.g. If I took code you wrote and lets say released under an MIT license and claimed I wrote it and didn't give you any credit, and in fact released it under another license entirely, you'd be fine with that?

If I released it on Github, under any license whatever? I’d more or less be expecting that.

If it was about the 4hr of work that went into my blog theme, I wouldn’t be bothered at all.

But then, I wouldn’t release anything like that under the GPL.
It's not just the hardware, it the third party software too.

If the hardware is available but you can't run the usual software no one is going to buy that. this is what I meant.

The hardware might be announced but it might not come until a decent enough number of key apps are ported.

My favorite chair (admittedly not at all most people's idea of a good chair, and non-adjustable) is a comfortable contoured 'Bank of England' style chair from the 50s in hardwood. Around here they were bought in vast numbers by the state and used for 25 years in courtrooms and police stations and the like, and are now frequently found surplus cheap and serviceable. And I love it. Looking for 2-3 more to outfit my house for the long term.
And this seems like a place where (at least at some point) getting the notes into a place like org-mode where they could be assigned appropriate labels could be useful: something taking up mental RAM might not be fully tied to the thing you're reading.
Reading through the article and comments here I find it odd that a company like FB can't get a crawler to respect robots.txt or 429 status codes.

Even I would stop and think "maybe I should put in some guards against large amounts of traffic" when writing a crawler, and I'm certainly not one of those brilliant minds who manage to pass their interview process.
Those would be very expensive trailers and the current shipping container ecosystem (and semi trailer ecosystem) could not cope with $100,000 unloaded trailers just sitting in unsecured areas like normal trailers do today.

You're right that it would be convenient for the driver, but I don't think it would be convenient for anyone else.

Actual trucking professionals please correct me if I'm wrong about any of that.
