Please tell us more. Why are the assets not simply deleted when the developers realize it's not needed, especially on a N64 cartridge to save space?
I get why it's being done that way, but the bit about parameter names being allowed to vary in subclasses feels... non-great.

As a result you can't really safely use named parameters on calls without more extensive control of what you're being passed: even if you typehint to a class or interface, you can just get passed a parameter-name-changed subclass that breaks your call anyway. Feels like a "strict" type warning would be in order rather than just silent acceptance of the variance combined with a hard error.

The optimal solution to shuffle an Array in JavaScript
So, what's the best proposal or line of thinking coming from all this deep thought about how to solve it?

Because you can't possibly be saying that the current system is the best we can do, or that the problem is intractable.

(I agree with most of your proposals about software engineering btw. We should do more of this).
Largely I don't think it's worth moving off EB except in specific scenarios.

I'm a Rails monolith and DB migrations are not well suited in ElasticBeanstalk when running docker containers. There's no way to run a single container that 'completes' and then returns whether it was successful or not.

Currently I have a separate environment that holds a single EC2 (lots of idle time) to run migrations. It fires and the deployment process moves on. I have to hope the migration finishes before the next set of containers gets rotated out, 2-3 minutes.

That's not a good policy to run a prod env by so I'm switching to Fargate where I can run a One Off task and poll for the result.

Other benefits include not paying for that dedicated EC2 idle time. Not worrying about EC2 management. Direct access to parameter store and secrets (EB can't do secrets from Dockerrun.aws.json yet =(

Drawbacks - I lose 'Rolling Update/Deployments based on Health' and HealthD. Another big one, I lose access to the container unless you run sshd itself (don't do it).

I am running both environments side by side to evaluate but realistically the migration requirement is going to push me to a full Fargate.

I could only run the migration step in Fargate while the rest in EB - best of both worlds? But somehow that feels dirty... we'll see what I end up doing.

I had the same thought when I first read this as I don't care much for some experiences that seem to be very highly regarded as if they were guaranteed to make your life richer (at least in my generation) and at the same time I appreciate some material things and the physical configuration of my surroundings to a degree that some would maybe consider overly materialistic.

For some people, nice things can actually affect their life experience, while some "experiences" (as in activities) feel rather meaningless. I think the point is that you should aim to pursue whatever positively affects how you experience your life and not what looks good on the surface only, regardless of whether the entity under consideration is a material thing or an immaterial activity.

What a lot of well-designed "nice things" achieve is not just surface level beauty, but actually working well and "feeling right".

I think Apple Maps probably left a sour taste in their mouth about running such a service. Search engines are never done; it's a wide-open problem domain with diminishing returns and investment in many directions. I think Apple also realizes they're not a services company.. they sell hardware and support an OS and app store; everything else is a value add to bring people into the fold.

There are a number of types of investment for which you need to be qualified. VC funds generally require a minimum net worth before you can invest. And the rationale is the same: they are both investments in which it's possible to lose a lot of money before you make any. Discouraging people who would be greatly affected by several losses in a row has some merit.

I'll disagree with you here. In Python `*` is already a extremely popular symbol for expanding and there's no usage conflict between expand and numeric multiplication. This change gels really nicely with the rest of expand ecosystem.

You don't get a market return from day trading. The only way you can make money off of day trading is by providing liquidity and the amount of liquidity needed in a market is limited by volume. It's easy for commercial investors to push out retail traders because they can provide more liquidity.

Retail investors (aka people buying stocks as investment) are unaffected by that limit.
It also mentions Every Frenchman Has One, which was a "best-seller". What are recent US best-sellers explicating other cultures? Educated? The City of Falling Angels?

Slightly ot. But I have been trying unsuccessfully to buy Minecraft Java edition for a friend. This has been extremely frustrating. The password on my old Mojang account was no longer accepted. Password reset uses some insane undocumented password complexity rule that I finally beat after using a 30+ character passphrase with letters caps special characters and numbers (plurals mandatory). Ofc that phasphrase is then not accepted when actually trying to log in. Tried Minecraft.net having the friend make an account there, but their payment gateway is broken.

Inflation in the Weimar Republic was specifically to pay down dept with devalued currency. What we're seeing now is an attempt to fill in a hole left by parts of the economy being shut down. Besides the motivation, a big difference is we don't know if this will be net inflationary or deflationary with the slower velocity of money, bad debt, etc.
But there’s no expanding happening here? So why take a token that’s immediately recognizable as either “expanding” or “muliplying-ish” and extend it to mean “or enforcing named parameters and not expanding”?

> cluttered and ugly

I won’t argue with you about visuals because I don’t think they’re all that important. But, I think it’s undeniable that reusing the same syntactic concepts across different semantic use cases is quite a lot more logically clean & beautiful than introducing new syntax that other HN commenters with past python experience can’t even understand. If someone sees the JS named parameter syntax at a declaration and has any JS experience, they’ll almost certainly figure out what to do - if someone sees the asterisk, even with Python experience, they’ll think “what the heck is this asterisk?” And again, the other commenters on this thread are clear evidence that this is indeed as unintuitive as I describe.
"To make a list of numbers starting from N, we make a list starting from N+1 and cons N onto the front".

How is that not obviously recursive?

If we make it a list from N to M, we can use eager evaluation, over ordinary non-tail recursion on a conventional run-time stack:

1> (defun count-from-to (n m)
(cond
((> n m) nil)
((= n m) (list n))
(t (cons n (count-from-to (succ n) m))))) ;; no lcons
count-from-to
2> (count-from-to 1 10)
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)

What looks "funny" about the original is the lack of any termination test; how can you return a list of all the numbers from N+1, and then tack N onto the front?

However, that doesn't require any new kind of recursion. The mathematical definition given in English at the top of my comment certainly has no issue; math uses whatever evaluation semantics is needed to make things work out, and frequently describes infinities.
Side note: "eng" means narrow, tight or cramped in German.

The helmet and head are too loosely mechanically coupled.

Let's say you have acccelerometer data from a sensor on the helmet and you pass it through an LPF:

If you have the helmet bobbying at really high forces you over-represent real G forces and you are right that you could negate that with filtering.

_However_, if you have really high forces transmitted from the bobsleigh up to the torso/neck/head it is possible that the inertia of the loosely coupled helmet makes it not register the full force as propagated through the tightely coupled torso/neck/head and you underrepresent the real G forces experienced by the brain/skull.

Accelerometer sensors should be coupled with the skull for proper risk/hazard assessment.

That's true. Several people will probably lose their jobs.

> why?

because I could! Isn't that the point of tech - to be able to build whatever you want, whenever you want, for any reason you want, in any form or shape you want without asking for permission?

The hexagon nut in your car is built on a technology that you don't know or own. That doesn't mean your ability of tinker with your car is subject to the whims and fancies of a nut manufacturer or the hexagon spanner manufacturer. You just trust that when you need a hexagon nut of a certain spec, you can shop for one. SES is exactly that hexagon nut to me. If you consider how easily an MX record can be created/changed, how am I losing anything by attaching myself to SES's email service?

AWS Support Plan - of all AWS technologies under the AWS sun, SES seems to be one service whose support needs are minimal and outages aren't going to end my productivity. Email is async so that delivery delays by a day or two aren't really an issue (to me). Email is federated so if AWS wants to be taken seriously is needs to interoperate with other systems a high degree of reliability.

a) The web client i am stuck on is mine. I can stay stuck on it or enhance it or shut it down or let it lie for long stretches of time.

b) What S3 provides is even more basic than POP/IMAP/SMTP - it gives you the literal email files which are the bedrock of email to do as you please. I like my chances of building something amazing with the raw data rather than having to have my emails intermediated by a GMail or a FastMail.

One of the things that really worries me about the concept of mass market hydrogen cars. I'm talking in the millions of units. Ordinary consumers do all sorts of slightly dangerous, ignorant things with their vehicles. Including neglecting maintenance.

I am not sure I want to see the average untrained person handling a precision refueling apparatus that connects to a tank at 250 to 700 bar pressure. It's a lot more complicated and technical of an interconnect to refuel compared to just sticking a petrol station nozzle into a tank and pumping.

I don't think a system that requires a professional refueler staff person at every hydrogen fueling station is a good idea either.
Yep I definitely agree with the importance, it’s probably the most impactful technical debt we have. Clone environments is a big driving force for it too.

I guess what I was hoping is that Beanstalk wasn’t designed with infra as code in mind, but things like Fargate were, and somehow it had become less horrible. Maybe that’s just never going to happen though and it’s the nature of the problem.

There is a huge difference between a prolonged G-force (like a rocket launch or a fighter jet turning) and an instant reading (helmet hitting ice). A prolonged G-force in human performance studies in aviation is defined as 1 second or longer. A reading of more than +10g in the Z-axis will black out almost all humans. While instant readings as high as 200g have been measured in a survivable car crash.

Falling from 1m and stopping in 1cm gets you an instant reading of 100g. And yet that doesn't sound very deadly at all.
Ask HN: ML algorithm that produced controversial statements on Reddit
There was a blogger who recollected on his experience working at a company that came across a power ML algorithm that generated statements that would 100% lead to a controversy on Reddit. They knew it was successful because they generated a statement within the company, that ended up making engineers on the same team disagree with eachother, but the statement purposely did not have a clear answer as to which side was right. This led to one of the engineers getting fired.

This ultimately led them to contacting the US government, to warn them that it might be a national security issue later on, and Russia might have also used something similar to swing the election back in '16.

I found it fascinating, but for the life of me, cannot find where I had come across it and I'm reaching out to the community for help. It sounds crazy, and I'm going crazy unable to recover the tracks of where I found it. I hope someone who's a much more well-versed in ML can lead me down the right path!

Anecdote 1: I was Googling a lot of information on Angular, back when I was first introduced to the framework a year or two ago. I'd say that well over half of the content surfaced by Google was SEO spam: marketers masquerading as tutorials, with the sole intent of upselling me on some shitty Angular plug-in. A lot of them are clever about it too; they don't upsell you until you've invested a decent amount of time reading their "tutorials". The SEO spam only went away as I began entering more granular search queries, as my familiarity with the framework improved.

Anecdote 2: I have a close friend that is a high school teacher. She's not all that tech savvy, so I help her out sometimes. Google is damn near useless when it comes to helping her develop her courses. Not exaggerating at all... maybe 60, 70... 80 percent of the results for educational queries are SEO spam. Every result is essentially, "want to learn how to write a monologue? Click here to pay $20/month for the privilege".

It's gotten so bad that I jokingly tell her that it would be more efficient to just walk down to the library and take out a book on whatever topic she's querying. But, you know, they do say that every joke has an element of truth to it...
