We also call it "agurktid"/"agurknyheter" in Norwegian, and I know the Germans use "Sauregurkenzeit".

I've never heard any similar expression in English, nor in any Romance languages. The Brits use "silly season" for the same concept in journalism/news.
Of course, you legally aren't obligated to attribute. There may even be valid ethical reasons for not wanting to attribute.

It's not a good reflection of character to make immature jabs and denigrate the person asking as a 'junior developer', as if that's a personality flaw.

All you need to say is: Thanks for bringing this up, but I am not obligated nor feel that I should attribute. Thank you.

My understanding (and personal experience) is that even for people who can fall asleep quickly after drinking coffee late in the day, the quality of the sleep is not as good, so you still feel tired the next day.

I absolutely think we should do that. The problem is it's extremely hard to quantify that cost/gain, while its extremely easy to quantity the cost/gain of low-interest loans.

Not to say its impossible, or that we shouldn't try--we should. But when you have a bunch of senators arguing, it's easier to point to the easy numbers.

It really is interesting just how much tooling plays a part in a language's success. It has to "just work" without any kind of crazy build steps. Rust with cargo handles this well, as does ReasonML with esy, Elm, and so on.

One might ask how NPM succeeded and well, it was the only way to write code on the Web, so people had to use it, one way or another.

> there is no difference between a heavyweight runtime or a lightweight VM.

There's a big difference. A runtime is just functions that get called, but a VM means that you have bytecode that it's interpreting instead of native code.
And the bigger issue is that correcting this is going to be a new political hammer to hit people with.

I'm not a critic! But I can see how my comment, meant to be a bit humorous, could be misinterpreted as being critical.

Personally, I think the friendly race to build bigger models is a great development. As I mentioned above, it seems to be leading to models that generate text/sequences that are qualitatively much better.

(Re)Discovering Protein Structure and Function Through Language Modeling
As someone from a research lab from a big name school that already has access to every journal: we use sci-hub all the time just because it is so damn convenient (me, I have a chrome addon wherein I click a button on a page that has a doi link, and wahlah, I'm looking at the pdf. Firewall at work blocks scihub, but I find ways around it).

As to why my lab might be preferring papers from big-name journal: I think 1) there's admittedly our own bias of wanting to cite big papers vs. small papers, 2) if we're doing some basic literature search, Google will also yield results that are already more popular. Really, at the moment, I struggle to see how our behavior changes about which papers we're citing with or without scihub.

I am sure gdy will continue like nothing happened.All russian propagandists do, because it's usually a paid job. They simply switch topic to spread more propaganda.
They usually pretend to have 'civilised discussion' but it's a fake. They simply abuse it intentionally.

BERTology Meets Biology: Interpreting Attention in Protein Language Models

Abstract

Transformer architectures have proven to learn useful representations for protein classification and generation tasks. However, these representations present challenges in interpretability. Through the lens of attention, we analyze the inner workings of the Transformer and explore how the model discerns structural and functional properties of proteins. We show that attention (1) captures the folding structure of proteins, connecting amino acids that are far apart in the underlying sequence, but spatially close in the three-dimensional structure, (2) targets binding sites, a key functional component of proteins, and (3) focuses on progressively more complex biophysical properties with increasing layer depth. We also present a three-dimensional visualization of the interaction between attention and protein structure. Our findings align with known biological processes and provide a tool to aid discovery in protein engineering and synthetic biology.

The ugly duckling of shared economies
When I read this I see a a niche, super premium hardware company that managed to acquire tens of thousands of customers by word of mouth. Not only that, their customers are all in-effect self employed or small businesses with huge average revenue per employee. They manage global supply chains, intense competition, all while taking on and managing huge legal/compliance risk.

How is is that supposedly "dumb," criminals can do this, and yet many of us are stretching our intellectual capacities to learn new technologies and maths, developing our nth stupid app, trying to achieve a fraction of the customer traction and revenue that street thugs manage to do every day. Are these people much smarter than average, or does it mean that if you sell something people actually want, literally nothing else matters about your intelligence, education, character, background, or anything at all. When I read these drug stories, it just reinforces for me that growth solves everything. You can succeed with a crew of violent, drug addicted idiots whose only reliable characteristic is short term thinking, and who spend half their time in prison if you have product market fit. What I'm beginning to think is that the "smarter," people are in a company, the less anyone will want their product. It's like the success of a venture is inversely proportional to the number of ostensible geniuses it employs.
I can’t speak to the British case, but the book Gomorrah goes some way to answering these questions for organized crime in Naples.
I am hardly a fan of excessive language policing, but this phrase "a good fit" bugs me. Is it common currency? To keep asking among yourselves "is this person a good fit?" seems unlikely to encourage the sort of objective assessment of a person's usefulness and talent that you'd want for your company's sake and also to stay within the law.

The government doesn't have this money, they are borrowing it. Debt levels are increasing like we are in wartime [1] but there is a massive negative impact on jobs, not a positive one like in a war. I have seen more than one person echo this sentiment and I wish people acctually understood where this money is coming from before complaining.

(Yes I know the quote also talks about essential workers not getting more, which I can agree the distribution is skewed incorrectly)

Bytecode is not necessary for it to be a VM, otherwise KVM wouldn't be a VM because it just executes machine code as is mostly.
Those are all grafted on afterwards, and they don't see too much use apart from the people who made them (ie Stripe with sorbet). Compare that to a language that has first-class support for all of these built in. As you learn such language you're forced to learn these concepts as well, so more people in the community use them, thereby increasing their effectiveness through sustained development because they're popular features.
systemd plays a crucial role on systems that use it. Whoever builds systemd for a distribution should definitely be aware of those flags; if you don’t understand them, then you are not qualified sufficiently to ship systemd for others to use.

It probably would. But solving that problem is significantly harder than putting out loans to large companies that employ thousands of people.

He chose the option that was the fastest for development purposes/testing. On average Google/Cloudflare worldwide has the fastest and most reliable DNS services.

Why would he change it?

He says it clearly that it's the responsibility of distro maintainers to modify these defaults which they are encouraged to do.

It's everyone else who is choosing drama. This is for development purposes, the entire privacy argument is completely irrelevant.
Ho man, I remember when Spring came on the scene and it was a breath of fresh air compared to the 10,000lb J2EE gorilla that was common then.

No, Java has always had ExcessivePatternFactoryImpl-itis.

And what's worse is that the language never had good supports for the patterns that the community seemed to prescribe. So you had an insistence on value and transfer objects and JavaBeans with pointless getters and setters leaking out their eyeballs, but no language support for properties or automatically managing these data objects. Or a desire to push the visitor pattern etc. but no pattern matching constructs. Apart from generics, which ended up being excessively complex and practically turing complete, the language was horribly anemic and repeatitive.
Things like CNAs are a small (important, but small) portion of what we're deeming "essential workers" in this pandemic.

The definition includes a vast set of un-credentialed workers; people at meat packing plants, grocery stores, cleaning staff, etc.

(Again, there will be licensed CNAs not working due to the cost of things like daycare. Raising wages changes that calculus, too.)
I did some searching and seemed to find that the majority of Americans do NOT have a 401k or do not contribute a significant amount.

"The typical household approaching retirement had $135,000 in combined 401(k)/IRA assets. These assets will provide $600 per month in retirement, an amount whose purchasing power will decline over time with inflation. Moreover, only half of house-holds have any 401(k)-related holdings." [1]

Ubuntu server is flawless, you take that back :P

Ubuntu desktop... I tried multiple times across multiple decades, I've given up.

Not sure what Windows issues exist outside licences disappearing upon reformatting. But that's still exponentially cheaper to fix then any Apple product.
Fair enough. I would say if the way someone uses the Go "enum pattern" is causing them to have issues with type safety then their code could probably use a refactor, but the point does stand.
This is a bad faith argument, the parent is not saying to use C, but surely you can concede that there are better languages for performance and are useful for web development? Even Node is faster than Python and it's chugging along well in the web dev community.
It's difficult to say.

On the one hand I thing such lessons can be so effective because they are generally one-on-one. That already goes a long way to disseminating knowledge, especially when compared to the "knowledge dissemination theater" that is the large lecture hall.

On the other, musicians construct these insane pedagogical family trees. So-and-so's teacher was a student of so-and-so, who was a student of so-and-so, and now we're already back in the 19th century. My personal opinion is that a lot of that is more inspirational than practical. But it certainly has an effect.

There's also the easter egg that teaching can accelerate one's own mastery. It's basically forcing one to do rubber-duck debugging as a full-time job. Add to that an ever-expanding knowledge about the physical aspect of playing instruments (how to avoid injury, how to maximize practice time), and I think that's where a lot of the knowledge comes from.
> why would we not pay out significantly less for people who are struggling to find jobs?

The CARES act allocated most of the money to individuals, state and local governments, public health, and education initiatives.

The amount given to large corporations (much in the form of loans that will be paid back) is less than that given to individuals:

NPR has a good breakdown. The idea that corporations are receiving “trillions” in cash payments is a myth. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/26/821457551/whats-inside-the-se... I fully agree that the allocation and lack of oversight around the funds to corporations is not good, but it’s incorrect to suggest that trillions are going to corporations or that more money is going to corporations than individuals under this bill.

Furthermore, you can’t compare loans and measures like quantitative easing to cash payments like that. Giving someone a cash payment and giving a loan to a business have very different actual costs in the long-run, obviously.
> stimulating the stock market was absolutely the right move

False. The stock market has zero connection to the health of the actual economy right now, and is only enriching the privileged. Propping up the stock market was a political farce to make it look like the economy is doing fine when it clearly is not.
Interesting, but pretty basic. The more interesting question than "How many people does it take to work all the survival systems" is, "How many people does it take to be biologically/genetically healthy?" Could be a much larger number.

And that adds the child-raising weight to the equation. Long-term survival must consider supportable growth rate, genetic health in the presence of setbacks (e.g. death of a random 20% of the colony) etc.
This contains some really interesting info. Basically someone (i.e. a government, likely the Dutch) managed to install malware on a bunch of the phones.

Each phone only communicates with other phones in the network so once they got one zero-day and put malware on a phone and could spread it, it could spread very quickly.
After using Go for ~5 years, so many little things in Rust blew me away. I thought I was okay with Go's "enums" but then I saw Rust's Enums. Most notably, the real enum type combined with pattern matching was an eye opener over what I've been missing.

Iterators were another one. The ability to express data transformation (mapps/filters/etc) in a very concise way blew me away. I had no idea what I had gotten used to in Go, though that's definitely not to say that I didn't feel the pain.

There's advanced features in Rust I could live without, but most of it just feels empowering. The beauty in it though, in my mind, is that you don't need to use all that advanced stuff. You can write Rust shockingly similar to Go.

The only thing Go truly nailed in my eyes is green threads. Those will always be better in Go than Rust (though futures are getting way better). Go nailed green threads.

But all the other "lack of features as a feature" left me frequently wanting for more tools to solve simple problems. And I was a Go nut. I have a Gopher plushie in my car for Petes sake.

What fallbacks do the major downstream distributions use?
There is huge difference between relying on libraries or independent implementations of software in a form of source code that may or may not have bugs, and relying on an organization that sends binary blobs to you, that has to keep their development process secure, infrastructure secure, physical security, developers not compromised, backdoors not forced through laws, state agencies not threatening and forcing to implement backdoors, etc. OpenWhisperSystems essentially asks you to trust they can do all of that, but of course they can't, while an open source PGP implementation doesn't ask you to trust them and rely on their competence on running highly secure infrastructure. So, don't be fooled by propaganda organizations put out, there is a huge difference in what you can rely on and Signal here is exactly as weak as EncroChat.
I was positively surprised to find new on-topic usenet content lately in comp.lang.* (and not just formal announcements). As you know, DejaNews was just a web interface for usenet before they were bought by Google to lead audiences towards Google Groups, like they did with XMPP and a couple social sites such as Orkut.
I used https://www.taxhawk.com/ this past year. It is free for Federal, but does charge for state taxes and has "deluxe" paid versions. The free version worked well for me.

You may have a point on SEO. While SEO means nothing to me as a user, the fact that people think free apps don't exist certainly shows a marketing problem.

The video there talks about a study about how people feel about a policy and whether the policy gets passed or not. Then it goes on to extrapolate that to electing humans. The video is right that we have less influence over policy, policy that citizens do not vote on directly. We do directly vote for humans and those votes do count - electoral college is a special case.

Also, I'd bet there are a lot of folks that read HN that are already in the top 10% of income earners. So maybe I'm speaking directly to some of the 10% now.
> Defaults matter, but he's right to say each distro should be the ones setting the default. Most people aren't compiling systemd themselves, they're using the one compiled by their distro maintainer(s).

In that case, the final comment in the discussion is correct: systemd itself should not have a default, and should require the distro maintainer to explicitly set these values to whatever default they want to use.

I've gone off coffee for months multiple times. I went through a tea phase a year ago, there are summer months where I'll drink almost no coffee at all.

I didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms, ever.

And drinking coffee again after that still does nothing for me.

I even bought caffeine pills to see if I could actually get any of the benefits if I stacked these with my high coffee consumption. I think I got up to taking 5-6 200mg pills on top of drinking all the coffee I usually do, didn't notice anything and chickened out of taking any more.
So that system administrators know they misconfigured it, rather than having it silently do the wrong thing.
That actually surprises me a lot. I've seen plenty of critique about lacking generics and exceptions, while haven't seen much complaint about ADTs.
From my rather dilettante point of view they are neither too complex for "philosophy of simplicity", nor they add much of compile time. It seems to me they even can be implemented as a syntactic sugar on top of type casts.
I certainly cannot see them being more complex than generics.
