It's hardly Marxist to note that slavery and capitalism are compatible, although he may have been the first to explicitly do so. Capitalism isn't special in that regard; slavery can exist, and in various forms has existed, under every economic system known to man. Chattel slavery appears to work especially well with capitalism, as indeed has been amply demonstrated in US history, so that was what I talked about.

Granted, any such discussion omits the moral enormity inherent in any form of slavery. Economic discussions are like that. I'll grant you that the moral and economic dimensions of the slavery-and-capitalism question tend not to be too clearly separated in the public discourse of the moment, but that neither surprises nor concerns me. As I mentioned earlier, what you misidentify as "resurgent Marxism" is in fact a reaction to the totally untrammeled capitalism I called by the name "Reaganism". Considering the myriad and grievous harms that system has produced in four short decades, and considering also that that system's own proponents happily describe it just as "capitalism" without the courtesy of such qualifiers as I use, whatever misidentification or misblame it may receive seems to me well earned. Besides, it's not as if counting slavery among the crimes of Reaganism is in any way erroneous. Have you seen the US prison system?

To the rest, it should be hardly a surprise to anyone that there were Soviet agents in the US government at any point from about the early 1930s through the late 80s. Just like there were US agents in the Soviet government. And Chinese agents in both, and vice versa, and so on. The existence of espionage, and the existence of a vast Red conspiracy of subversion on a national and generational scale, are in no way the same thing, and to argue from
one to the other requires a good deal more substantiation than either you or Tailgunner Joe appear inclined or indeed able to provide.

Granted, one can sometimes use the former to frighten uninformed people into believing in the latter, despite a total inability to demonstrate that the latter actually exists. You seem to want to talk about gaslighting. Has it occurred to you that, unlike merely having people argue that you're wrong about something, this sort of specious, fear-based deception may in fact qualify as such?

Btw, I just spent a little while poking around Newsmax, something I hadn't previously done since the Bush administration. I don't know whether you really do read a lot of that stuff, but if you do, maybe seriously consider cutting back, and replacing at least some of it with something from outside the filter bubble it appears strongly designed to create and enforce. Or, I don't know, use an ad blocker at least? If you're going to let that stuff monopolize your brain and your political philosophy, I'd at least like to think you're doing it for its own sake, rather than so that somebody can make money off of you.
Yes this must've been it - I don't know why I thought it to be much older.

> Or maybe it's just me, trying more and more different coffee places around europe.

There are some truly great coffee experiences in the US and Australia too - really stretching boundaries, or doing the classic style, much better than in Italy. It seems that Italy has been less innovative in this space - probably because it is "Just coffee" in the way drip is in the US - it is more functional, which is sad, because truly great espresso is a treat.

So, firstly: there are two articles. The linked HN article, and the original Netflix blogpost (which is not linked here on HN, but is linked by The Register).

From the Netflix blogpost, it seems you are correct. The author of The Register article seems to have misinterpreted and is definitely discussing a prospective public offering.

--

The 2nd sentence you quoted implies that people working on Netflix titles will use it, but does not imply exclusivity.

The 1st sentence I don't really understand what you're reading from it... sounds like a public offering to me.

In addition to those sentences, The Register article is chock full of direct references to it being a public offering, not an internal vendor offering.

Perhaps dang or another mod can change to the source article which is less misleading: https://netflixtechblog.com/empowering-the-visual-effects-co...

And maybe do some Java practice in the mean time? Maybe build something like a tinyurl clone in Spring (Boot) and post it to Github as "refreshing my Java skills" projects.

Right, there is plenty of confidence that climate change is real and caused by humans, but pretty much zero confidence in the long term effects of climate change on human population.
Take a look at Redis. With the modules API it's possible to load pre-existing C libraries and consume them through simple Redis commands and there's Redis clients for each and every language out there.

I did a GSoC project years ago and I hated having to use MongoDB for manpulating VCF files (it was the time where "nosql" was all the rage and all project ideas had to have mongo somewhere). Redis Modules would have been the one thing that would have made sense (that API was introduced much later).
I don't want to discourage anyone - just want to inform of the true commitment it is, in cost, space, and patience (at times).

Staying Socially Connected in a Socially-Distanced Office
Never thought I would type these words but if you think half the people in any place can manage an upper middle class lifestyle, you need to check both your statistics and your privilege.
Late reply, so I hope you still see it:

Like the other commenter said, it's logical. It's not a managerial disease, it's just inherent to big projects that details are never clear at the start of the project, but clients do want a clear cost projection.

What happens is that a scope is agreed upon and so is a price. If the scope increases, so should both the price and the deadline. The client never wants this to happen, because it's their money. The contractor can then do either of three things:

- Don't build the feature or remove another feature

- Make the client pay for the feature

- Lose money on the feature

Having a developer or a sales manager or whatever, that can't say no always tends to lead to the third option, which is the one that isn't desirable. Therefore, you need someone to say no, followed by 'unless...'.

The big issue with Agile (for a consulting firm) is that this is inherent to the way of work, because in Agile the end result shouldn't be clearly defined, which means endless discussions on scope. Because of this, it's even more important to have developers and project managers who can say no (unless...).

This is mostly important for project work. Many consultancy firms also do hourly work, where most of this risk is with the client anyway. Even then, however, you still need to be able to say no sometimes.
Starting to Unravel’: Trump Chief of Staff Expects Indictments from Durham Probe
I'm not sure what's being discussed here exactly. If we talk about vocabulary, spelling and grammar I agree with you. On the other hand humans are able to express opinions and idea, come up with novel things to say, not merely mimicking an input.

If you give me a huge corpus of chinese texts and a very long time, I might be able to figure out what character goes with what other, find the various structures in the text and then be able to generate a somewhat convincing made up chinese text while still not understanding a word of it.

These GPT-3 demos are impressive because they look like real text with proper syntax and grammar, but they still express absolutely nothing. It reads like a long series of rambling that goes nowhere. There's no intent behind it.

It reminds me of these videos of apes imitating humans by using their tools, banging hammers ineffectively. They are able to copy the appearance of the behavior, but not the reasoning behind it. They don't get why we bang hammers or what it achieves.

For me, it has kind of broken HN’s comment sections. I find myself jumping to the bottom of longer comments to look for “btw, this comment was written by gpt3”. To me it seems like we are going to be entering a perpetual April fools day where we never really know what’s real.

Yeah. That's precisely why I wrote "in an oversimplified way".

Good point, but many people are making changes due to a radically different lifestyle. Moving to new places to find work, moving out of cities for more space and lower rent/cheaper house. It's not reasonable to expect you get through this without making lifestyle changes.

James Hoffmann is a great resource for anything coffee and was going to recommend him as well.

I think this, from his book, The World Atlas of Coffee, is very telling:

> "Making espresso is both incredibly frustrating and also very rewarding. I must offer a word of caution here: don't invest in an espresso machine unless you want a new hobby. The fantasy of whipping up a couple of delicious cappuccinos...is a very long way away from the work involved in preparing the drinks."

It's not convenience, it's preventing fraud.
>If a company isn't growing by at least the equivalent of inflation then it's shrinking

That depends on what exactly is growing. As long as profits are growing by more than 0%, then the company is growing, regardless of inflation. If its only revenues that are growing in the low single-digits, then still the company could be growing! Inflation is the phenomenon of prices generally increasing, but no matter what anybody tells you it is not distributed equally. Just because the overall rate of inflation is 5% does not mean that your costs have increased by 5% YoY.

It’s funny how people are so high and mighty about the small stuff and then let the absolutely enormous stuff pass completely. Are you this judgmental about living in a stand alone house vs an apartment in an apartment building? Taking plane trips for vacation?

Or do those bog standard—celebrated even—parts of upper middle class life get a free pass while you sneer down your nose at people that don’t pull their own espresso shots to save a few hundred ounces of plastic a year “for the environment”?

A 3 Minute Explainer on Why GPT-3 Is Overhyped
OpenAI should have never been open, named "OpenAI", or advertised itself as being open. At the time of OpenAI's inception, much of the AI risk community deemed it as harmful, although that wasn't spoken out a lot, because it is a delicate affair to criticize misguided effort on AI safety when the status quo was almost no effort being spent on AI safety at all. It is a minor consolation that OpenAI turned out to be less open than initially advertised.

I realize this trick won't work for everyone, but a couple years ago I figured out a nice technique to combat all these problems, while still allowing myself to read the news: I made a pact with myself to only actively consume the news in a language I don't speak fluently.

If nothing else, I'm improving my language skills, so the time spent doing it is edifying, even when the piece itself isn't. The concentration involved in deciphering the article inserts some emotional distance that helps me not to get too worked up about what I'm reading. And, since reading in a language one doesn't understand very well is tiring, the whole exercise is self-limiting. It's literally impossible to get sucked in.

Most schools have all the classrooms on a perimeter so they get light. If there's a courtyard there will likely be classrooms on the interior as well. Rooms without windows tend to be intentionally reserved for things like artistic use (no windows to open to screw with humidity that some materials might not like), music (you can plaster all the walls in sound deadening.

You don't tend to get windowless classrooms until decades after the building was built and the school is simply making due with the facilities they have in light of their changing needs. They'll shove a math class in a former art room or something.

Back in the day windowless rooms were somewhat coveted because everyone had lesson plans on transparencies and they'd teach using the overhead projector the way some teachers use a PowerPoint today. Being able to turn down the lights (and not have the sun defeat your efforts) and then have the projector be the main focus helps keep the class on-task and keeps the teacher in better control of rowdy classes because the people who would drift off topic and engage in distracting chit-chat tend to drift off to sleep instead.
In the general case of an old newspaper which may not be scanned and online, a URI (i.e., an indentifier) is called for; in the case of an old newspaper which has been scanned, a URL is called for.

The distinction is that an identifier identifies a resource; a locator states where it is located.

'My grand-father's diary, 4 July 1930' is a resource identifier (but not a URI); urn:isbn:0-486-27557-4 is a URI, but not a URL; https://news.ycombinator.com/ is a URL.

I think you've not read much literature from the animal welfare movement (aka 'animal right'). Consider reading the classic 'Animal Liberation' by Peter Singer. You would benefit from reading others' thoughts on this and thinking more deeply about the issue.

You claim "feeding people is a necessity" and that it somehow balances out what we do to animals. You certainly know people can live well without animal parts in their diet. Even if by some bizarre reason humans required animal flesh in their mouths, it wouldn't imply that doing anything we want to animals would be appropriate.

Torturing a cow for 1 year wouldn't be appropriate if we could get the same cow meat without the torture.

Please learn about how animals are treated before you "find it morally ambivalent"
Almost all computer languages were developed to deal with a particular problem or issue, so they bring a set of abilities best for dealing with the "main problem" with them. In the case of Erlang it's massive concurrency; Rust is aimed at memory safety; Ruby at programmer joy; Java at filling billable hours for contractors (I kid... sort of). By knowing several languages you assimilate different programming philosophies so when the question comes up of how to write something brand new and you suggest programming language X, if you're a polyglot you're going to be able to give a ten to twenty minute impromptu presentation on the specific merits of language X given the problem set rather than just say "I saw it mentioned on HN last week and it seems pretty hip."
Singleton Design Pattern in Modern C++
As usual, it depends. I was doing binary search within btree nodes, which means small arrays that fit into the cache. Branchless search performed best there. Actually even the btree search itself was branchless (if nodes were in memory) until the end, as the pointer to the next node was just loaded via an index calculation and the loop continued with a binary search of the next node. I did a little software prefetching as well once I had the pointer to the next node.
I'll start of by saying the author has provided some nice research. However, this particular example is the kind of thing where it doesn't even really matter wether its legitimate or not. The fact that it doesn't attribute it to any particular source makes it almost meaningless. It's basically just saying that some person 100 years ago said "X".

Does it really matter if I have a source for that? This content is clearly not meant to convince, only entertain.
Exponentially distributed data is a great example of that. It's fun that the author picks 32-bit ints; I suspect that you just don't have enough dynamic range to really hobble interpolated search.
