> We should require our legislators to more clearly articulate and value externalities from a given policy and identify groups it creates negative externalities for, and how they should be compensated (or why they do not deserve to be compensated).

That would be identity politics 2.0 and the end of nation states. Not only lawmakers targeting different groups of society to pass legislation, but also identifying (highly subjectively) other groups to be compensated for 2nd and 3rd-order effects introduced by that legislation.

The few places I've seen that try to push the benefits/perks angle vastly overestimate their superiority and value of those things. 10-20k a year for 5 years buys a lot of food, gym memberships, tickets, drinks, swag, etc.
At one point Intel was way ahead of everyone else. Saying "anyone will ever catch up with TSMC or Samsung" is a very broad think to say.
Not OP, but I think there are two main reasons for this. Firstly if
you are a professional you probably only had time to teach yourself what you needed for the job at hand. This is a great skill in and of itself but by definition it favors practice over theory. Secondly, if you're self-taught that means you didn't have a mentor and likely you don't know what you don't know. It's impossible to study topics you've never heard of, or whose connection to your field you're unaware of.

I think that in general you CAN learn and skip those holes if you have someone to guide you that already knows the subject well.

But as a person who may be really new to the subject of development and computer science I think it's obvious that without a lot of research and prep ahead of time you might start with a book or topic and keep moving forward, but you may not be exposed to all of the same things (some probably really useful, some are likely bullshit) that you'd get in a more structured learning environment.
I mean, he probably has unparalleled access to the world's greatest mechanical and hydrological engineers if he wants it, but still seems noticeably confused about how toilets and dishwashers behave. The issue with Trump isn't that he doesn't have access to expertise; it's that he ignores it.
Show HN: dstack – an open-source tool to build data applications easily
Dear HN,

I am Riwaj, the cofounder of dstack.ai (https://github.com/dstackai).

A few months ago, we built an online service that allows users to publish data visualizations from Python or R. The idea was to build a tool that did not require additional programming or front-end development for publishing data visualizations.
Such a code can be invoked from either Jupyter notebook, RMarkdown, Python, or R scripts. Once the data is pushed, it can be accessed via a browser.

Open-sourcing dstack:
During our customer discovery phase, we realized that dstack.ai should integrate a lot more open source data science frameworks than we integrated ourselves. For example, as a user, I want to push a matplotlib plot, a Tensorflow model, a plotly chart, a pandas dataframe, and I expect the presentation layer to fully-support it. Supporting all types of artifacts and providing all the tools to work with them solely seems to be a very challenging task.
With this, we open-sourced the framework. Now you can build dstack locally, and run it on your servers, or in a cloud of your choice if that’s needed.
More details on the project, how to use it, and the source code of the server can be found at the https://github.com/dstackai/dstack repo. The client packages for Python and R are available at the https://github.com/dstackai/dstack-py and https://github.com/dstackai/dstack-r correspondingly.

What’s next:
User callbacks- so that application shows not just pre-calculated visualizations but also can fetch data from a store and process it in real-time.
ML models- so that data scientists can publish a stack which binds together a pre-calculated ML model and user parameters
Use cases- Support specific use cases that help data scientists to build data science models into data applications as fast as possible.

We would be happy to get your feedback on the open-source framework and also get your opinion on what kind of use cases can be built on top of the framework?
Thank you.
Once you know how to chain thermonuclear stages, you can obtain arbitrarily high yield without further advances in technology. The Americans pioneered this technique, they just didn't bother building as big of a chain.

At a certain point bigger yields are less desirable than more, smaller yields. Picture an enormous spherical fireball, then picture chopping it up and using the "useless" slices that were at high/negative altitude to instead cover more ground. Once it became clear that they were past the regime of yield scaling, the Americans moved on to developing smaller warheads that could do just that: pepper targets and deliver more devastation per pound than a corresponding single warhead of high yield.

Vanity metrics are always more important to the second place player, and that's what Tsar Bomba was.
Could they make any money off it though?
>One fun and maybe not so novel use for this though would be training yourself to touch type AZERTY and QWERTY interchangeably

Speaking from experience, this is very hard, I have the feeling it affects negatively your speed in both layouts, with AZERTY I was somewhere in between 90-100WPM, I decided to switch to QWERTY for several years and I'm consistently between 76 and 85WPM, now trying AZERTY back after using exclusively QWERTY I'm scoring between 60WPM and 70WPM.

Mitochondria are really one of our cells' most under appreciated organelles and the consequences of them being "the powerhouse" are a lot more profound than you might think. I highly recommend Nick Lane's book on them, Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the meaning of life, which explores the consequences of the biochemistry, population genetics, of mitochondria for how animals live in general. It's far more interesting than biochemistry has any right to be, along with his other books.

And both of those things are now considered valid approaches due to research establishing that, not because random celebrities promoted them on twitter.

> Once they get elected, they're no longer working class.

Not exactly, your class is as much determined by your friends and family as your job. People with a background in Ivy leagues, law school or wealthy parents like basically all American politicians don't have many or even any working class friends so face no peer pressure to protect working class people.

> They can manipulate an entrte country of strangers to get elected but not the people over whom they have an information advantage and other more direct sources of power (including rewards)?

They didn't manipulate people to get elected, they got elected since they represent the people well. They can't give rewards to their friends and family or it would be a scandal, Sweden has very little tolerance of corruption. Simple things like buying groceries with tax money instead of their salary or creating hard to find job postings to get friends into jobs creates headlines and has forced people to resign.

Politicians can't be shittier than you let them be. If you tolerate corrupt behavior you will get corrupt behavior. If you don't then they will conform since they don't want to lose their positions.

Good idea, especially when times as serious as this.

Folks, when there is major unrest/wars going on, it's a great time to really think outside the box. You will need the most determined mindset possible. Be prepared to violate all communication regulations (or perish where you stand, potentially).
The difference is that fear of being kicked in the face is real and tangible (and something that actually happens), whereas fear from the "gay agenda" and "breakdown of society" is unproven at best. You can't just say "I fear it" and then treat all positions of "fear" as equal, because they're not.
The truth is the original Hazelcast replication protocol was not a good fit for some data-structures.
We took the analysis seriously. I know every project and vendor claims that. Here is what we did in recent years:

1. Re-implemented concurrency primitives on top of Raft protocol. This includes Distributed Locks, Semaphores, AtomicLong, etc.
Raft provides linearizability and that's what you usually want for concurrency primitives.
See our epic blog post about locking: https://hazelcast.com/blog/long-live-distributed-locks/
or our Jepsen testing story: https://hazelcast.com/blog/testing-the-cp-subsystem-with-jep...

2. Added a FlakeID generator. This is on the opposite side of the consistency spectrum - it's a k-ordered Available (wrt CAP) ID generator.
It won't generate duplicates even when there is a split-brain. See: https://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/4.0.2/manual/html-single/ind...

3. PNCounter - CRDT-based eventually consistent data structure, suitable for .. well, counting things:) See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_...

4. Significantly extended documentation, to be more explicit about Hazecast replication models and guarantees. The goal is clear: Avoid Surprises. See: https://docs.hazelcast.org/docs/4.0.2/manual/html-single/ind...

Sorry I see my comment was misleading , I meant baby boomers (born after 45+). I think a lot of millennials feel like their parents are better off than they will be.

More people need to realise this and be cautious of such fads. I got caught up into the whole touch-typing hype and continued typing in that awkward posture for 3 months straight more than 12 hours a day and didn't stop even when my hands, shoulders and neck started hurting due to the awkward posture that's caused by touch-typing.

I am in the worst pain of my life right now. Absolutely regret it. Sure the error rate is slightly higher and you type slower. Atleast you won't be f*cked with RSI.

You could start by triaging issues, something that is very tedious for maintainers, especially on small projects. More than that, you can look at each issue and try to see if you can identify the problems. You may find you are better than you think.

There isn't a level you need to be to contribute - it may feel like that because on higher profile projects most of the low hanging fruit has already been addressed.

Beyond that, there's a skill you learn here - practice communicating professionally (sometime people are submitting issues when they are extremely frustrated), concisely, and clearly (sometimes you need to speak highly technically, other times speaking with a management voice is needed)

In the same vein, there's plenty of poorly documented READMEs and wikis, other areas you can contribute, and skills that are very important.

Strong communication and writing skills can level you up over better developers.

I think the issue is multifold, but basically from what I've seen (including having multiple friends at Mozilla and visited their HQ multiple times), Mozilla is run exactly like any other Silicon Valley company.

Sure, there is no shareholders so there is this freedom, but people working there were basically hired after working in other tech companies, and they just work as they did in other tech companies. The fact that Mozilla Corporation is owned by a non-profit seems to be completely lost. Basically people are paid to improve metrics, whether it's the number of users, the ARPU, the "engagement" on whatever features they decided was important...

Add to that the fact that Firefox lagged technically behind Chrome for many years (it only recently cought up with Quantum) and UX wise also Firefox was stuck on the "IE6 but with tabs" look and feel and waited many years before accepting that the UX introduced by Chrome when it was released was superior.

As a result, now that casual users are on Chrome and the Firefox user base is mostly made of users who choose Firefox not because of its technical merits but because it's Open Source, supported by a non-profit, etc. There is a disconnect between that user base and the Mozilla Corporation who just thinks like any other SV company.
I don't think it's particularly dramatic. The Boeing 787 is the first airliner to really use composites to a high degree in its structure. There was and is plenty of controversy around it's lightening protection design. For example https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/faa-e...

It's also been controversial in small aircraft like the Cirrus SR22, for example complete failure of the radios and / or electric systems due to static buildup on the airframe.

I'd say it's far from a solved problem.
I used a Das keyboard with blank keycaps for a long time. Surprisingly while typing I would rarely make a mistake and if I did I would correct it in the flow. But when it came to typing special characters out of the flow, I used to have difficulty for some reason.

Doubts, sure. Asking for more evidence isn't a problem. But 1) blaming the author and 2) insulting him with something baseless like "I found the article to be really naive in a Dale Carnegie kind of way, that probably appeals to someone in their mid-20s trying to reinvent themselves, but is actually a psychological dead end" is a problem and needlessly adversarial.

> As long as you are not spying on your customers with analytics

Where do you draw the line between necessary analytics and "spying" analytics?

If you have an ecommerce site you want to know how much you sell in total. You need to know what products sell the best. You need to know where users that buy your product come from. You should know if your website goes down or the loading speed is suddenly terrible. You should know if errors occur on the site that stop users from purchasing a product. You should A/B test to see if users prefer a specific tone of voice or layout.

I think the barrier to contributing to open-source is far lower than you imagine. There is, for example "good first issue" tag on many repositories (search Google for terms like "awesome for beginners" etc).

One example, I recently contributed to chokidar - something that is used by webpack, VS code, etc - fixing a bug that prevented network path access, and all it took was a conditional statement to handle the edge case: https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar/pull/1025

In some places it still happens. Around 2004 I boarded a plane with stairs in Cancun.

My wife’s Aunt and Uncle have been serial travelers for decades. One time her uncle forget his briefcase in the 80s. She convinced the counter person to get someone to take his briefcase to the taxing plane. The pilot opened the window and a maintenance guy threw him the briefcase. When the pilot handed him his briefcase he said I don’t know who you are or how you pulled this off but it’s impressive it worked. The uncle had no idea he left it until that point.

>weakening its own position by requiring the addition of special case rules and self-contradiction: fear of facepunching, but not fear of the gay - what makes one valid and the other invalid?

You're asking this question with some knowledge that there is some difference in the minds of people between the two matters. Therefore, we can draw a difference, we just may not have a philosophical grounding to express the difference rigorously. I can see how that's a problem, but it does not stop consideration of the principles. Even if the difference is arbitrary, we can't escape arbitrary reasoning in our moral and legal systems.

The difference from my perspective is that I'd be more inclined to protest a law criminalizing gay people for (using your example) having sex in private than I would be someone arguing in a public forum that Jews should be punched in the face.

Is my decision arbitrary? Maybe. Does it rely on a judiciary and legislature that agrees with my ad-hoc principle in order not to run away with it? Yes. That's not necessarily a problem. It's not much to ask people to think beyond pure abstraction of high-minded principles.

You (or some other citizen) may disagree with me and come to the opposite conclusion I have, or not. That's fine. I'll vote for my principle, and you can vote for yours.
Try functtional programming using ramda.js to step up your js skills; try putting up a prom & grafana stack for monitoring, try using something like django & drf for your APIs (django is somewhat a large web dev market & is really solid, DRF will make you go lighting speed on your dev, it will also step up your permissions programming skills) ; work up to 100% coverage with unit tests and then write e2e tests that reflects the specs, ElasticSearch is a valuable tool to know as well (for logging or be it to use it as a search engine for one of your projects) - get 100% score on web.dev, do not use any css template and actually master it (all that flux / grid system is still a mess for me) (use variables etc..., maybe even scss or sass to be able to loop and whatnot) ; the list could be lot longer but one thing i learnt is that iterating on architecture is a lot more beneficial than spitting out features
