You can also disable issues entirely on a project, if it's slightly larger than just one script. This, plus a disclaimer on the readme like "This was made solely for my personal use and I cannot provide support!" seems like an okay way to go about this.

I've written hacky one-offs before that other people used as a jumping-off point for something more serious, which is pretty cool to see. I'm always in favor of releasing your code for that reason, you never know if someone else will find it useful!

Doesn't really matter, for the purposes of this question.
I trained myself to use ctrl+k for searches vs ctrl+l for the url bar, from back in the day when I used Firefox and they had separate search/URL bars. Chrome respects these shortcuts, but it distinguishes searches from urls by pre-pending a question mark.
I was describing alternative ways to get water rather than draining the aquifer, as well as long term effects of flooding the market with opium. I do not think the Nash equilibrium describes that.
I'm only 20, so I've never really consciously lived through a world event of anything even approaching this magnitude before.

Those of us approaching 60 haven't, either. Arguably the Cold War, but unless I happened to watch The Day After recently, I never gave that much thought.
Yes, but how are we going to prevent further congressional malfeasance between now and 2094? One of the two parties is not going to stop trying to undermine social security every chance it gets in over the next 75 years...
> Can you actually write a Preferences panel in Swift? I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer were “nope, Obj-C only”.

If that was the case (I don't believe it is), it would only be because modern Apple doesn't care enough about Preference Panes to add easy support. A third party Preference Pane is not any more "OS machinery" that a third party screen saver.
Pretty sure state intelligence has been doing this for decades, and we all know the laser-off-the-window pane trick by now.

I’m much less worried about spies than I am about the powers directly around me, namely my own state and the large corporations that run society.

I have no clue who greenlit this article but it seems starved for context not spoon-fed by the research team itself.
I wouldn't characterize Swift as "high-level" and Objective-C as "system-level." One of Swift's stated design goals is to work at all levels of the technology stack, including system programming where you need a lot of control over struct layouts and so on.

I'd agree that most of the focus has been on app development, but I just found this toy kernel written in Swift the other day: http://si.org/projects/project1/

On the Objective-C side, sure you have access to all of the low level stuff of C, but Objective-C's message passing is probably a poor choice for very low-level system programming (in the kernel, for example). Apple uses C and C++ in the xnu kernel.

Swift was also designed to interoperate with C and Objective-C APIs, so you could certainly write a preference pane in it. It even automatically generates Swiftier interfaces for APIs that follow conventions. Here's the NSPreferencePane API: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/preferencepanes/ns...
I commuted 1h daily in the netherlands. I was lucky always having a spot in the train, and I could sit in the train for 1h straight. I basically opened my laptop, programmed a little bit. Read a book. Or just listen to the radio.

It was a lot of time. However it didnt feel completely wasted. However, now i'm biking in 25m to work. And its a joy. I'm missing it now we're working from home.
Medical literature has a pretty low SNR when you look at it from the point of view of "does this help my patients?" Also, PubMed is a thing that's roughly the medical equivalent of Stack Overflow, so you can do some of this "on the fly" to an extent.
Or Nov 5 (depending who wins)
Can you share the cost of running this system?
I don't know much about macOS development, 72 hours ago I had never done any at all! But as far as I can tell anything you could do in Objective C you can also do in Swift. I would have made a preference pane and would prefer it myself but I explained why I didn't in another comment. Apple kind of discourages preference panes unfortunately.
My experience is I'm at work 4-6hrs/4-5days depending on the week.
I tend to agree, but women don't want to be home alone with kids. Historically, women would share duties with other women in the village so there was a lot more socializing and mentorship.

It must have been fulfilling to start out a young inexperienced women in your village and eventually become an influential matriarch, with knowledge in herbal medicine, nursing, textiles, pottery, basketry, child development, leadership, storytelling, etc.

That's an interesting idea, however it could lead to some unintended consequences such as cars being incentivized to 'caravan' with busses.
I think most people are still aware of the problem. I've seen a few people go off the rails, but most people have been well aware that "GPT-3 is having a conversation with me!" isn't itself particularly interesting.

On the other hand, we should acknowledge that humans are also structurally wrong for most of the domains we work in. A general-purpose neural network isn't a great tool to diagnose cancer, certainly - but it doesn't have to be great to exceed some radiologist's general-purpose light detectors. I think GPT-3 starts to edge into the territory of demonstrating Dreyfus was substantially wrong, and recognizably computer-like architectures are fully capable of doing abstract reasoning.

(That's not to knock on Dreyfus! Other voices in his era were optimistic to an absurd degree, and "come on guys our computers aren't that smart" was a very necessary response.)
I think we are just going towards centralized trust proxies.

Ie, if you are paying for google apps, have credit card on file, meet their rate limiting rules for outbound with SPF / Dkim etc then you are probably OK. Some random IP doing direct mail? Much less likely to be OK.

Given govt has done such a bad job in this space, these big corps are essentially picking up the slack / trust that you'd normally say govt was responsible for. Gives them a metric ton of power, and they don't tax so have no money to provide any corresponding service.
Yea it’s focused on the infrastructure layer.

It has a separate state mechanism to keep things in sync that Ansible didn’t have the last time I tried only using Ansible. They’re a match made in heaven when put together IMO.

That's funny, I've been thinking about getting into indoor/outdoor painting. I don't know if I'm really serious about it because it would probably divide my current salary by at least 4 or 5, but maybe we need to start a business lol

It's extremely difficult to communicate this to a team exclusively populated by those who do not have cross-language experience.

As an anecdote, and not to boast: I have occasionally had to write data visualization and function plotting software at least a half a dozen times in as many languages and frameworks, from QuickBasic as a teenage hobby, to C in DOS, Java (Swing and JavaFX), OpenGL, WebGL, JS with charting libraries, Linux raw framebuffer... Also tweaked MRTG charts back in the day, wrote a super basic 3D editor in highschool for games I never ended up making, etc.

A team I was on once had to add a simple chart to a webapp. When the task came up in meetings and was causing the dev assigned the task some grief, I mentioned that I've had to do some charting work before, and offered to help with any details if they got stuck. Instead of saying something like, "Ok, I'll let you know if I have any questions," they said, "Yeah, but was it D3?"
Thanks so much. The data science interviews are a bit of the kitchen sink as well. I am also planning to release a bunch of technical non-coding interview questions that cover statistics, modeling, machine learning, product sense, business cases, etc. The biggest problem I'm facing is that it's taking me forever to write up solutions for these types of questions. I'm thinking about making it a discussion forum so others can help contribute.

But thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to look at it.
I've helped build this and the related mobile app over the past year and am pretty proud of it. Would love feedback.
The well-educated renaissance man has a lot more feedback on what is useful and what isn't. I think that GPT-3 could be vastly improved simply by assigning weights to knowledge, IE valuing academic papers more.

Humans get this through experience and time (recognizing patterns about which sources to trust) but there is nothing magical about it. Should be very easy to add this.
Sweet! I've been asking for this for a while. This seems to me the best way to do M:N threading: with true kernel support.
Right, but then the question remains why is the lower back cooler in the picture as well. Is the blood flow through ones entire back flow through that area first?

Which of course made me think the correct placement for it would be somewhere with a lot of blood flow near the skin that could be cooled a couple degrees. I was thinking the inner thigh might be a good place, but the device isn't shaped correctly for that, given your just going to cool one side, and cook the other.
This is just a mismatch with how HN posts pages and how projects expect their release pages to be read. Release pages are for users to know what changed. But HN likes to link to original sources and not articles about the source. In cases like this, we end up pretending the release page is meant to be read by a wider audience than the writers ever intended it for - not Apache's fault! Apache Arrow's homepage does have that one-sentence description on it ('A cross-language development platform for in-memory analytics').

I'm not sure how _new_ this is, though. Here's Monty Python on the subject of people inflicting their holiday photos on others, 50 years ago, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAxkcPoLYcQ

At least these days people that way inclined can get all the fun of showing off their photos without actually holding anyone hostage on a sofa.
The skills to build from scratch and the skills to maintain are different. If you've only been doing maintenance, why would you expect to be at the top of the list to build something new? Maybe you personally are perfectly skilled to do it. How would anyone know?
fzf has a preview pane option. Typical OOTB usage is to use this to cat the output of the currently hovered item in your list. But fzf can fuzzy-find on any list, not just file lists, and use the preview pane to display anything based on your selected inputs. One very nice demonstration of this is [git-fuzzy](https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy)

The hardest part about leveraging the power of fzf is getting input into your --preview argument in the middle of some piped process. But that's also where it's true power becomes fully evident.

awk users have long had similar powers. And indeed you might find awk useful for reorganizing record separators in a pipe to fzf. But fzf is brilliant because it "just works" for 90% of cases.

I think we're probably going to see people sharing some pretty incredible workflows with fzf in the next few years. Something about being able to stick it in the middle of a Unix pipe just makes it really really special; it's compose-able!
So days after the rest of the press calls out their issues and a ton of internal leaks about ransomware they finally issue a public statement. God forbid they had a data leak, we would not know until next year at the rate of customer facing communication.

I don't have a moral dilemma about my work cutting those kinds of jobs; it's busywork, their existence doesn't improve humanity. We're better off with something like UBI than paying people to do boring stuff that they don't really need to do.
The hard part is dealing with the people (some in management) saying “you’re thinking too far ahead. This is just an MVP.
We don’t need Thing X” and who will do everything in their power possible to deter you from “skating to where the puck will be” and putting in “Thing X”.

And those people will be the first ones six months later to say “you know what? Our stakeholders need Thing X and it’s a top priority.”
How many organizations are paranoid enough to care about MITM but not enough to have private networking?
Most of his TV shows were cancelled before Louis CK was. The few that weren't were given to other Producers. The only real project killed when Louis CK was canceled was a movie with questionable sexual content (the title was "I Love You, Daddy", which alone leaves a lot of questions about the project even if you don't know of the contents), that especially looked bad/egregious in the light of the sexual misconduct allegations against Louis CK and caused the distributor to reevaluate the script and early reviews in that light and determine it wasn't content they wanted to distribute. (Most early reviews indicate that this was no great cultural loss.)
I asked not because I expected an answer, but because I figured you'd have an insightful opinion.

It's essentially the performance of a composition vs the composition question again: at what point am I mimicking someone to the extent they have a valid claim on a portion of my work?

I expect it'll enter the courts a few milliseconds after someone clones a dead actor (without their estate's permission) for a new performance.

There's always been an inherent tension in the US distinction between a law of nature and a creative work though. It seems a bit silly for me to claim patent / trademark on a vector that encodes my likeness.
Terraform goes quite a lot further than FunnyLookinHat mentions. I actually don't advocate for using it further than infrastructure myself (I like using specific tooling for specific jobs), but that doesn't mean it can't go a lot further (https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/index.html for a list of the providers, and it's possible to use the null provider to write some more custom things and hack arounds).

I've had a lot of success coupling Terraform with provisioners like Ansible or Saltstack.

Of course, if Ansible is what you're used to and it works for you, there's no real benefit to using something else right now :) I'm a big fan of Terraform, so I hope you also have a play around with it to see if it can help with what you're doing in the future.

Don't forget "peaceful protests".
Been working remote for 12 years now. The BIG one listed is "Single Source of Truth".

So many issues come from having more than one source of truth. Have a single source of documentation and you stop so many issues before they start.
It is! Nevertheless, I was confused at first. I’m sure I would’ve figured it out eventually, given the context.
You may not buy it, but that's the rationale. I'm the one vetoing us turning it on so you're literally talking to the decision maker. We've thought about everything you've suggested and it all feels artificially constrained (e.g., what if you have 11 domains that you really care about?). We're running a bunch of different experiments for different options. We'll open up domain registration at some point, but only when we're confident it lives up to our original promise and still accomplishes what's right for our business. We haven't figured that out yet.
I have seen this "problem" before. But I'm pretty sure rejecting the '+' sign is so that you have to swallow the spam when it eventually comes.
Ok, tell me how many millions of tons of equipment and how many gigawatts of power we will need to process out large quantities of these resources from razor sharp sand, and how many trillions of dollars it will cost to build it on the moon?

It could be an issue for people who expect medication that could expire.

The thing is that for priority mail, the truck still has to drive every day. Might as well load it up. Problem I read from the article is that that prio-1 mail is not handled as prio-1, but rather after other, more lucrative, mail.

But to be fair, in my country we had a new mail service competing with the public mail service. The new mail service only provided twice a week, but at a reduced rate. If you didn't care about your package being delivered a week from now, then it was convenient. End result was that the public service no longer could compete with the lower prices and reduced volume, BUT in the meantime was allowed to merge(=take over/take down) with the new mail service, by grace of the government who gave them a get-out-of-antitrust-jail card. Currently the case is at the EU court, which decided the merger has to be reversed, but the damage is already done. Contracts ended, brand damaged.

If you privatise your mail service, don't be surprised if it becomes stupidly expensive to deliver the same quality of service. Competition won't exist because it will be acquired by the main company. And the government will simply pay for that quality of service, as that is what the voters expect.
proofs to me, are 'typed' steps. you explicitely state the domains
Along similar lines, I've wondered about how often restaurant and bar owners have bugged their own premises.

There's probably a lot of valuable information discussed in such establishments.. especially, say, around Wall St.

Regarding the legal aspects, I'm not sure how much of a legal expectation of privacy one has in a "public" place such as a restaurant or bar, and we've pretty much already accepted ubiquitous video surveillance in such places (even if such videos are often without sound).

Someone could potentially infer speech just by lipreading soundless videos, but if someone did decide to use audio surveillance on their own property in a bar, restaurant, or other place of business, is there any law against that?

Quite apart from the legal and ethical objections that might arise against doing this, I'm sure some business owners are not above giving in to the temptation to spy on their patrons, especially if there's a big profit motive (like getting access to inside information by spying on Wall St execs gossiping over drinks or dinner).

That's not to mention dirt that might be revealed in conversations considered to be "private", which could be used to blackmail people or for other nefarious purposes.

The technology to perform such spying has been around for a long time, and in a bar or restaurant the owner (or rogue employee, or customer even) wouldn't have to resort to exotic techniques such as this light bulb trick. A simple microphone would suffice.
CodeDeploy is totally fine, but honestly I'm tired of being nickel-and-dimed in AWS.

I'm already paying AWS a massive amount for compute, storage, and bandwidth - I don't want to pay more just be able to use it efficiently.

Maybe it's the FOSS nerd in me - but I can't stand the walled-gardens we're essentially creating in these IaaS providers.
When I was 20 I was working, as a single developer, for a startup connecting people who would like to get consultancy in different areas (eg. photography, IT, school subjects, law, etc.) with paid consultants ("experts"). They were both calling the service, which joined their calls and billed appropriately. I'm not very proud of the code I wrote then (PHP without version control + Asterisk scripts), but it worked good enough.

Anyway, the business model didn't work out, so the founder pivoted into something that should work: phone sex and telephone fortune telling. It was a bit too much for me :)
There is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6717 tracking moving to stable Rust, and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4678 is also relevant. Feel free to create a sub-task under the former to remove specialization :)
> Is it well documented what's supported and what isn't?

No, not really. For example, I experimented a bit with streaming HTML but then hit a roadblock because ByteLengthQueuingStrategy wasn't available.
Roommate works in hardware at a FAANG, they were the first "back" in the office but since he doesn't really need to do lab work (he coordinates with overseas vendors) he only goes in once a week.

They are serious about not having people come in unless they need to be there for there work (e.g. actual design and testing).
> we will see the emergence of a culture where unsigned authoritative content is not paid any attention

If current events are any indication, that culture will only emerge 30 years after the tech becomes widely usable, and in the interim will lead to absolute chaos in the form of weaponized disinformation.
Thanks for the same history lesson I got in high school. I know it's not in-vogue today, but I'm in the game of describing reality of what is and trying to address it. The history of how we got here is only valuable as a lesson to avoid doing it again in the future. Insofar is it's a pointless blame game, I don't care.
I love this feature, but Mac is the bully in this situation. It captures the connection often even when nothing is playing and when Mac is asleep it still tries to connect and probably due to low power mode takes FOREVER for the phone to sync and realize what I actually want is to play audio from my phone not laptop...

I was firmly in favor of working for the office pre-pandemic because my organization's WFH infrastructure wasn't really there yet despite a pretty liberal policy allowing us to WFH pretty much whenever we wanted to.

Post-pademic, we've figured out and fixed a lot of the tech and culture issues years faster than we would have otherwise and I'm suddenly much more comfortable staying remote indefinitely.

I'd be curious to know if my own change of heart is unique.
I worked at a place where it was somewhat common to have a manager with one report. It was usually because the report was such a screw-up, instead of firing the person they would bring someone in to 'manage them'.

Then, they'd blame the manager when the report screwed up, fire him, and bring in another manager...
I think that is a unique perspective, and not invalid, but think about what lets you do that. A salaried job with few meetings per day.

Hourly tech workers, or those who have to be available 9-5 anyway, don't have this luxury.

I agree with the parent that WFH does have a lot of long-term potential downsides/changes for society.
