I thought about this as well and the benefit of such a platform would be that depending on what your role is, the platform can do different things for you:

- You are a teacher -> you can make sure you teach related stuff like the rest of the world. You can share and exchange learning material, you can track your students
- You are a parent -> you don't need it often but you might need to see early if your kid is struggling or you wanna have some extra material for your kid to exercise with
- You are in a government position -> you can use it to get your curriculum
- You are an help organization and you need stuff to print out for some remote village without internet

I'm not saying that i have fixed/analysed all issues coming from it but i do see a huge benefit if we as a society centralize it more then what it is right now.
WiFi analyzer shows about 26 access points on 5 GHz that aren't mine.

I agree it should be much better than 2.4 GHz -- only 2 of my neighbors are stronger than -70 dBm -- but more channels would be nice.

(I guess 6 GHz could help, but then I'll have to upgrade all my clients, too.)
The intro of SS2 does a pretty good recap of the first game and from there on SS2 is it's own game.
Unit Testing Infrastructure as Code in Python, TS, Go, & .NET
Oh, certainly. You don't want programmers to go around insisting there's a global ordering to their message systems.

But the problem I think could be solved is where programmers have a causal dependency, but they don't encode it in the program. The next generation of concurrent languages could have the killer correctness features for solving causality problems.

My favourite was the well-timed cache misses that would immediately freeze the game, e.g. the first time you fire a shot in combat, then restore interactivity after you die in fast-forward.

But it's all worth it because you're a badass cyborg with a flashlight, i mean, "augmented vision".
I’ve noticed newer comments (sometimes as new as 1 minute) can sometimes appear at the top and that may be in an effort to get people to participate with newer comments instead of people only seeing the stuff that was commented first.

When I brew a pot of coffee, I fill it with water just past the line that represents 2x the number of cups I want.

If I expect to drink 2 cups of coffee, then I fill it just past the "4" line. If I'm making a pot for multiple people and want 4 cups, then I fill it just past the "8" line.

I think this is pretty normal. To the point where we don't even consciously think about it. In practice, a "cup of coffee" represents two cups as measured by the manufacturers. The manufacturers say that 6 oz is a cup, but a standard American coffee cup is 12 oz.

I don't know why we don't simply make those match up.

Has there been a study that weighs benefits from studies of coffee consumption against the societal health impacts of coffee production? I mean we have coffee farmers developing kidney disease (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24878647/) and the environmental impact of its cultivation and shipping (https://www.sustainablebusinesstoolkit.com/environmental-imp...). It's the second most tradeable commodity after oil but as it's largely unnecessary for society to function. I would doubt it would come ahead as a net positive for humanity.

I wonder if it would be practical to make a VPN-like service that acts like a middleman and handles all the JS code, forwarding only HTML, stylesheets and other static assets to the client using websockets. So something like a hover or click event would be sent to the server, which would run the javascript code and it would send back the resulting changes to the DOM which the browser can render.

I like the distinction between a university and an institution focusing on practical higher education (German “Fachhochschule” seems to convey the concept). This should not be about difficulty and prestige, but one’s mindset and what they want to do in life.

Research-oriented higher education is not likely to become obsolete, and neither is applied practical education. What can (and, arguably, should) go away is expecting an institution originally intended for the former to provide the latter.

Unfortunately, in many countries universities have grown to become the default option, any other path is considered inferior.

There should be minimal to no difference in BOM cost from iPad Pro to MacBook 12". As a matter of fact it is probably cheaper for MacBook without the touch sensors, Pro Motion, Camera Modules. A 12" MacBook at $799 is very much plausible.
The instructions I follow for my pourover requires 350 grams of water. Much more than 8oz. It drives me crazy, but it also tastes good! Though If I only poured until reaching the 8oz mark it's also quite nice. That said, there is a question of "full-extraction".

Accept a juicy 5M USD consulting contract, be a nice boy, solve all the problems and beyond, or be the guy that will discover what it means to be sued to oblivion on frivolous charge (NSA will never charge you but they can share information).

Yeah that's my first thought: why would they use gag order when they can just bribe someone? Doesn't even have to be $5MM; a few $100k here or there could change someone's life.

And then there are actual government contracts, e.g. how the US can dangle the GovCloud or other lucrative contracts over Facebook/Google/Red Hat/Microsoft/whoever, with some implied or explicitly demanded "add this to the stack..." requirements.
How many degree-granting universities do you think have access to this kind of funding and network? I'm guessing less than 5% in the US alone.
That's more-or-less in line with my personal experience.

I usually drink tea, because I like a hot beverage, but find that my quality of sleep and overall sense of wellbeing tends to suffer if I drink coffee. Even when I only drink it in the mornings.

But I do still like (don't love, but like) coffee, and most cafes and restaurants in my part of the world can't make a decent cup of tea to save their lives, so I often just drink coffee when I'm traveling. And I find that, even after only a few days of drinking coffee, I will experience 2 or 3 days of cravings once I get back home and return to my regularly scheduled pot of dragonwell.
They become more healthful at the same cost? I find that highly unlikely. What you are doing is raising the cost of food across the board. Sugar is used to make bad food more palatable. Taking away the sugar isn't going to make that food healthy and delicious at the same price point.

Instead it's a regressive tax on the poor and gives the government even more power over controlling the daily lives of it's citizens.

I could get behind subsidizing fresh meat and vegetables. But artificially making food more expensive seems ridiculous.
IIRC, a 12oz coffee is ~$2.

The equivalent 12oz coffee milkshake is ~$4.

Guess which one is more popular?

That said, I do actually buy the non-sugary drinks because they're cheaper. I tend to buy Blonde Americanos to get the lowest bitterness espresso flavor from them, at the lowest price.

I am in the same boat. We build a niche product that serves a Windows market (an add-on to Windows-only software). We use Macs for a variety of reasons and I'm terrified at the possibility of having to switch. If we don't get performant virtualization a la Parallels or VMWare Fusion for x86, my entire toolchain falls apart and I have no choice but to dump Mac. I'm sure there are a ton of other developers that depend on virtualization. I hope Apple has considered this and can talk about a solid path forward for x86 virtualization as soon as the ARM transition is announced.

Just get rid of all these small Sheriffs and police departments. One ploice forse for state and one federal works well, most other developed countries have around 2 to 3 main police forces (depeding on how you count). Limiting the number of police departments also makes hiring and common standards a lot easier.
I have a pet theory for why coffee has such great benefits: A lot of my friends who are more anxious have had to stop drinking coffee because it exacerbated their anxiety to extreme degrees. On the other hand, people with less anxiety drink it and feel fine. So there’s selection bias at play, and correlative studies are just picking up the benefit of not being anxious.
Where would you start and where would you end the analysis? What about for example the endless number of families that rely on coffee as income in developing countries?
I'm curious what would be the market for this? wouldn't that be an extremely niche scenario within the emergency-response medicine where people inexperienced with LSD who suffer a bad trip ask to be taken off it? afaik LSD isn't a drug that one is likely to OD from either.
And for that matter, how does the brewing method of coffee play into the health benefits? If I brew really strong coffee, do I get concentrated antioxidants and plant goodness? If I brew weak coffee and drink a lot of it over a longer period does that help my body's uptake of it?

Not that knowing these answers will really change my coffee drinking habits, as this seems like a ridiculous micro optimization, but it would be nice to know a bit more about the mechanism here.
Measuring weight of the dry ground coffee describes the actual consumption better. The standard espresso quantity is 7 g of ground coffee per cup (25 ml).
Haha this is funny but over the last 3 years or so I've found this has stopped being my experience. I think two things that are out of my control changed, that being the community developing more and also me asking slightly less noobish questions.

Something I CAN control though is how I ask questions, and I guess I instinctively learned to avoid that trope you're commenting about. So when I ask a question, I state ALL my research, I link directly to related questions that didn't solve the problem, I link to specific places in docs, I paste in specific parts of my code, and I list out all my constraints. Then at the very bottom, bolded and in a single sentence, I state or restate my question.

Since I started doing that, haven't had the above issue.

>Many people complain about AWS' networking costs, but I also suspect these are generally at-cost. A typical AWS region has terabits upon terabits of nano-second scale latency fiber ran between its AZs and out to the wider internet.

I'm skeptical about this claim. Most cloud providers try to justify their exorbitant bandwidth costs by saying it's "premium", but can't provide any objective metrics on why it's better than low cost providers such as hetzner/ovh/scaleway. Moreover, even if it were more "premium", I suspect that most users won't notice the difference between aws's "premium" bandwidth and a low cost provider's cheap bandwidth. I think the real goal of aws's high bandwidth cost is to encourage lock-in. After all, even if azure is cheaper than aws by 10%, if it costs many times that for you to migrate all your over to azure, you'll stick with aws. Similarly, it encourages companies to go all-in into aws, because if all of your cloud is in aws, you don't need to pay bandwidth costs for shuffling data between your servers.

Show HN: DVC 1.0 release. 5 lessons from 3 years of building open-source ML tool
Hey HN, creator of DVC here!

DVC (https://dvc.org/) is known as Git for data projects. Technically, DVC codifies your data and machine learning pipelines as text metafiles (with pointers to actual data in S3/GCP/Azure/SSH) while you use Git for the actual versioning. DevOps folks call this approach GitOps or more specifically in this case - DataOps or MLOps.

We’ve been working towards 1.0 since we started 3 years ago. What began as my pet project now has 100+ code contributors, 100+ documentation contributors, and thousands of users.

Our community has taught us a lot - here are some of the biggest lessons:

1. Users say the serverless and distributed nature of DVC (inherited from the underlying Git) is one of its "killer features".

2. To share ML projects within and between teams, it’s not enough to track only files and pipelines. You also need metrics, plot and hyperparameter tracking. In DVC 1.0 we implemented hyper-parameter diffs, metrics and plot diffs right from Git history.

3. In DataOps, data transfer optimization is huge. Large deep learning models, millions of images in datasets, etc. We doubled down on optimizing 1.0.

4. ML pipelines evolve faster than data engineering pipelines and need to be easy to change. In 1.0, we’ve simplified the pipeline metafile format.

5. More and more teams use DVC as a part of CI/CD for ML and other MLOps tools. DVC is used under the hood in the CD4ML tool that was described in the canonical post on Martin Fowler’s blog: https://martinfowler.com/articles/cd4ml.html. We built 1.0 with CI/CD users in mind.

More details on https://dvc.org/blog/dvc-1-0-release.

I think this is a great idea but measures would have to be taken to prevent Hollywood accounting from erasing payouts to consumers.

Establishing a value for each data point gathered and an ongoing payout from derived data (e.g. training a machine learning model using your search habits should not mean you get nothing if the original data isn't kept) is crucial.

Also, keeping track of all of those payouts would also be a huge burden for even Google, I can't imagine for a small startup. This also needs to be considered so that it doesn't stifle innovation.

Some napkin math: assuming 1 billion MAU for Google Search and around $30B in revenue for Q1 2020, that's $30 in revenue per MAU per quarter or around $120/year. This would be before costs of course and represents the ceiling of what they would be able to pay.

The reactor isn't going to be running during launch - so it's not going to be highly radioactive. Also I'd expect the reactor to be fairly small, dense and robust - I doubt if it would be "blown to bit" in the event of a problem with the rest of the launcher.

I'm an asthma patient in Germany. I visit my lung doctor twice a year for checkups, but the checkups are performed by a nurse. My doctor then briefly looks at the data collected by the nurse and decides whether she wants to talk to me in her office, which happens about once every two years. If that's not the case, I just get my usual roundup of refills and everything is said and done in about 30 minutes.
First of all, I want to mention that SICP is so much more than learning lisp. As a matter of fact, learning lisp only takes 10 minutes in the first lecture. The rest of the course is about learning programming techniques (and _magic_ as they call it) with the explicit intent of learning to manage complexity. Even if you're completely fluent in lisp, taking this class will be massively mind opening.

With this out of the way, what's so special about lisp? Where did it get this reputation for mind-expansion? Part of it is historical. 20-30 years ago, the industry was focused around _stricter_ (for lack of a better term) languages like C++ or Java, and lisp presented some features that were super powerful, like REPL, interactive debuggers, higher order functions, lexical scoping, lambdas, etc. Lots of mainstream languages have since adopted these features (python, perl, ruby, javascript, ...), making lisp a bit less exotic than it used to be.

Still, today, there're some things that are unique to lisp that might be worth studying. The most important thing is macros. Macros are only possible because of the (lack of) syntax of lisp. It's a programming technique that consists of _programming your compiler_, for lack of a better term. It allows you to define a language specific to the domain you're working on. Pretty unique technique, and like all the other techniques, sometimes smart, sometimes useless, sometimes abused. I still believe it's worth learning, because understanding how macros work will explain a lot of things about the other tools you're using as a programmer.

I hope this makes things a bit clearer.

TLDR: A lot of what made lisp special is now available in other languages. Learning lisp is still worth it to expose you to _macros_. Regardless of how well you know lisp, going through SICP will be massively beneficial.

I mean, the design doc is wrong. Instead of

Object.defineProperty(HeaderImpl, "name", { value: "Header" });

you can just use

export let Header = class Header { }

to avoid creating a conflict between the header type declaration and this header implementation, since that way the type will be locally constrained to the class expression and only the variable gets out.

> Who knows if this kicks Header out of some optimization path in V8

It doesn't.

Forgive me for being suspicious of the whole thing because a couple of the rationalizations don't make sense, I'm sure there are some valid points raised there.
