Racing release dates to the point of introducing unfinished gear was plain stupid and seem to have never worked for Atari. Besides Amiga 1000 was a flop, official Germany (best Amiga market) numbers put it at ~1% of total sales (27K units), extrapolating over all worldwide Amiga sales ever gives us ~100K A1000 units in 8 years. Amiga only started gaining momentum after 1987 A500/2000 release. Atari did exact same thing with Jaguar, released broken early silicon (afair second spin, first one that actually booted, but no working cache etc) with broken (compiler bugs, crashing code) and expensive devkit ($30K? Falcon based box). For comparison later Playstation devkit was half that, and in form of standard PC ISA cards.
I would make use of ETL-as-a-service vendors as much as possible (Stitch, fivetran, etc.) before going to airflow/prefect for the more custom stuff.

Airflow 2.0 will have some pretty nice features for ML development as well.
Watchdog – Python library and shell utilities to monitor filesystem events
If there had ever, in the last few million years, been mining on a scale comparable to what goes on today, we'd notice. Some natural resources would be used up. The oldest mountain range on earth is over 3 billion years old. It's in South Africa. It's being mined. It's not mined out.

If this planet ever had an industrial civilization, every once in a while we'd find something made of gold or stainless steel or ceramic. Not happening.
At the least light should escape a wormhole, and we should "see" what is on the other side. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'd be possible to detect any difference between a wormhole and a blackhole.
Any way to stop it, or will AdBlock eventually figure out how to axe it?

Is Lack of Competition Strangling the U.S. Economy? (2018)
At a certain point if photovoltaic panels become very, very cheap (far below the $0.20-$0.35/watt STC price to buy panels in huge quantities today), it will be economical to crack hydrogen from water and compress it into tanks, then use it to run massive fuel cells to feed power back into the grid.

Because of the significant engineering challenges in storing, transporting and refueling hydrogen at very high pressures, I am much more optimistic about the use of hydrogen in medium to large sized fixed, professionally-run facilities than I am about people driving around with hydrogen fuel cell powered cars. Or home use of hydrogen fuel cells.
I would test the market for your idea. Can you get people to pay for it? How many, and how many $ per customer, and how quickly? And not hypothetically, actually try to get money coming in. Then focus on that if you think it will simultaneously solve your burnout.

YouTube auto-playing unmuted Trump ad on main page
This is not intended, I'm almost certain. Go you youtube.com and it'll play unmuted. I have an ad blocker and can't see the video but I still hear the audio.
The launch canisters that contain these cubesats are large and weigh more than the cubesat itself. They do that so they don’t jeopardize the main payload. But, if it was only cubesats, the launcher could probably be simplified.
Let's talk rough numbers - I'll assume you have a net worth of $15 million. You'd owe 0.5% on $5 million - $25k a year. That would be significant enough to move countries over? Completely upend your life, move kids out of school, buy/sell a home, etc.? It just doesn't seem reasonable to me.
> while prices are rocketing up in Mountain View and it's getting hard to find a SFH for < $2.7M, even if it's on a tiny 6-8K ft^2 lot.

Well, it's hard to find a home on such a large lot period (size is relative). Newer SFH tend to be built on 2k-3k square feet lot sizes and go for $1.5M to $2M (Mountain View median is $1.8M actually).

Prices generally have been going down in Mountain View (https://www.zillow.com/mountain-view-ca/home-values/) and remain considerably below their mid 2018 peak. (And still remain a bad deal relative to renting, but that's another story)
YouTube now have ADs that plays sound without an user interaction

As a developer, you have to wait before the user does an action on your page / web app before you can play a sound, but not YouTube, not this freaking AD.

As soon as I enter YouTube today to publish a video I was greeted with a full sound blasting AD. Not cool Google, not cool.

I would attribute it to recent culture of ROI grown in high leadership of the company. They don't understand patience, values, human relationships and necessary soft skills to realise that Innovation and research are vital health of the company. Problem is they are all fast thinkers and great presenters and that's what js valued nowadays in orgs. The innovators and researchers can't sustain in this environment. The leadership wants ROI from everything, even research. That's not going to create a good culture and innovation wouldn't grow.

There's a big pay difference between grad students, industry researchers, and government researchers, with grad students being the lowest on the totem pole. Which should make sense because they are researchers in training. There's many different types of research too.

All that I've heard about Airflow is that it's intricately coupled to Python, and can be finicky to maintain as it contains a fair few moving parts.

I've previously used Argo Worfklows, which I prefer because I already have a Kubernetes environment and because it runs containers, it's totally language-agnostic which I think is a huge benefit. It also has a huge number of features for defining and controlling the workflows. Downside is that it's configuration/definition YAML's can get large and a bit messy (as YAMLs are want to do) - however, templated workflows are coming soon, which should hopefully reduce the noise.

Personally I'm reticent to use anything that re-implements its own full scheduling system instead of hooking into a pre-existing (and probably more bulletproof) one (i.e. K8s scheduler), and anything that _requires_ me to write all of my ETL/schedulable code in Python.
Everything Old Is New Again: Binary Security of WebAssembly
Making use of airflow's plugin architecture by writing custom hooks and operators is essential for well-maintained, well-developed data pipelines (that use airflow). A little upfront investment in writing components (and the most painful part, writing tests) will go a long way to helping data engineers sleep at night.

That said, I make a point of using ETL-as-a-service whenever it's available, because there's no use solving a problem someone else has solved already.
I don't know if you knew this or not, but at one time in the not too distant past, the internet as a whole was a curiosity only used by geeks. And before that, only total nerds in their mom's basement used personal computers.

Indirectly, that's the funniest part of his whole schtick. He seems to segment the world in two: things addressable by pure reasoning, and things that require doing something.

He treats the former as his domain and clearly sees himself as a master thereof. And the latter you solve with bounties.

I was looking forward to purchasing the next generation of Oculus gear. Oh well.
You're right, my phrasing was not accurate in my initial post. Let me rephrase:

You cannot identify/designate the experience of seeing "red" any more precisely than "that experience one has on seeing 700nm-wavelength light," just like you cannot identify the experience of seeing "three" any more than "that experience one has on seeing a thing and another thing and another thing."

It's true that you do not need the actual perception in order to have the experience, in either case. But do you believe there is a hard problem of the experience of three? Do you ask whether the exact symphony that plays in your brain plays in mine when we look at the same three objects?

(Maybe yes, and I'm misunderstanding what you think the hard problem is?)
You can add another decade and a half onto that. 1991's Cray C90 peaked at 8 gigaflops, which is in the ballpark of an Apple Watch (series 5).

I was a little skeptical, so I followed the link trail to the actual paper: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~junhan/papers/SpiKey_HotMobile2...

They did not take a recording of an actual key in an actual lock and determine the shape of the key. Instead they simulated the sound of a key in a lock, and determined the shape of the key from that simulated sound. And the simulation assumed that the speed that the key moves at is fixed as it enters the lock, at 1 inch per second.

So this article is false. It wouldn't have been that hard to read the paper, and say what they actually did. It bothers me that articles like this don't, and instead run with an exaggeration.

EDIT: As far as I can tell from the paper, at least. What on earth is a "simulation, based on real-world
recordings"? I don't see anything about an actual recording in section 4.
My Datasette project has given me a slightly different perspective on API standards - at least in terms of things like shared definitions of XML, JSON shapes, RDF schemas etc.

Once you've loaded your data into a SQLite database and put Datasette in front of it, your audience can get the data out in any shape that they like.

Consider the museum data in my https://www.niche-museums.com/ website.

Using a SQL query, I can get it out as an array of objects with name, url, address, latitude, longitude: https://www.niche-museums.com/browse.json?sql=select+name%2C...

Or maybe I want to get back the name as "title" and the latitude longitude as lat / lng. I can do that with a different SQL query:

select name as title, latitude as lat, longitude as lng from museums limit 10

Here's that as JSON: https://www.niche-museums.com/browse.json?sql=select+name+as...

Let's say I want it as an Atom feed. Datasette plugins can add different output renderers, so I can get back an Atom feed like this:

https://www.niche-museums.com/browse.atom?sql=SELECT%0D%0A++...

That's using a convoluted SQL query to define exactly what I want back in that feed.

The point is: if you have a sufficiently flexible API gateway in front of your data, the people consuming your data can define the "standard" that they want to retrieve it in at runtime.

I think that's a really interesting characteristic. It's made me less excited about boil-the-ocean attempts at defining a single standard and getting everyone to support it at once.

[ This thread may not be the best place to raise this idea, since the Python Data API Standards project isn't really in the same realm as the web API formats I'm talking about here ]
I'm so very hesitant of workflows-as-a-service: they just seems like a fantastic way to get really locked-in to some incredibly specific vendor; add in the fact that if you're required to maintain geographical-jurisdiction of your data, or you have constraints about 3rd-parties having access to your data then you're more-or-less out of luck.

Also they all seem to charge so very much for what amounts to a fairly straightforward service...
There is a certain point where you have to compromise and say the cost of a security breach will be less than the cost of devoting more resources to security.

I could spend hundreds of thousands on building my house with redundant locks, security cameras, steel-reinforced bullet proof doors and windows, OR I can sleep soundly knowing that if my house is robbed I can make an insurance claim and replace all my stuff. If someone wanted to actually steal my stuff or kill me, well they could just wait outside my house and do it then ️

Same with high tech, I could build the most secure system on the planet but a guy with a knife to my throat is gonna get all the security keys.

It's not just that picking a lock is going to be simpler. It's that to use the audio exploit a person needs to know enough about locks to select the correct blank. And setting up a camera to take a picture of the key is likely to be at least as easy as setting up audio recording equipment.

Not a good article. Plenty of other professions don’t charge by the hour. How come lawyers do? This article doesn’t tell you. It doesn’t explain why the billable hour won over flat fees. There’s a whole lot of room between cartel price-fixing and billable hours. Flat fees are not illegal. Price-fixing is. If bar associations tried to set minimum hourly rates, that would be price fixing too. I’m not convinced that the writer even understands this.

The lethal threat to fully unlocked consoles with no contractual limits ruled out by law isn't other stores or even piracy. It's people realizing that if they're selling the hardware at a loss, it'll likely be the most cost efficient GPU compute you can buy.

Bias warning --- I'm part of the group doing this work. For an end-user, your arguments are fine. A single developer or team can indeed use whatever tool they want and adapt their code without too much difficulty.

The real challenge comes, however, as you try to build an ecosystem of libraries on top of multiple different APIs. You end up reinventing the wheel or struggling to maintain multiple versions of the same library.

Some cooperation is immensely helpful at the lowest level, and we hope ultimately to be helpful to the different tool builders in providing information and guidance about what is already a standard and agreed upon in the space.

This is not about establishing or forcing behavior. It is about documenting and clarifying best practices that have already emerged as well as potentially giving libraries a way to signal to downstream developers of additional libraries that they adhere to the standard.
What you are referring to is production-based CO2 accounting, whereas we really should be taking consumption-based CO2 metric.

No doubt progress has been made, but it's a fraction of what it should be. Uk had a chance to invest in nuclear power and didn't, has poor quality housing / insulation resulting in a lot of unnecessary CO2 emissions and money wasted on heating, and has a stupid law that banned large (read: economical) wind turbines!
Your whole comment seems insane to me.

Do you actually think like this yourself? Or are you just positing that others do?

You do realize there are available forms of housing for every income bracket that allow you to live within your means?

Show HN: Neapolitan Pizza Dough Hydration Calculator with Common Pitfalls
Hi HN,

I have been trying to figure out homemade Neapolitan pizza for quite sometime, early on I blamed my oven, then pizza stone, then loud motorcycle down the street. After watching numerous YouTube videos and reading blogs I've settled on this method, it works but requires precision - i.e. one has to use a weightscale and a thermometer, and a pizza steel - pizza stone just didn't work in a regular home oven. Cooking has been a relaxing escape during this pandemic, Neapolitan style pizza requires multiple days of prep and at the end results are delicious delicous pizzas that delivery just can't replicate.

Thank you!

It turns out I am not the only one who does not want a smart TV. The benefit for me is practically zero. All I need is a dumb TV/monitor/projector and the ability to plug it into a chromecast type of device/laptop.
I use it because it's super simple to have launchers for different profiles pinned to the taskbar. It's convenient to have one logged in to my personal account and one logged in to my MS365 work account.

China has been releasing padded GDP numbers for the past 15 years. Many have doubted the true economic growth. Yet now magically they're the top economic competitor to the United States and being taken seriously as a threat to global leadership?

There is clear evidence of the virus being taken care of, so I'm pretty sure if numbers are off, they're off in the same way GDP is padded, and not orders of magnitude off.

> this is a scenario where having a dictator is advantageous to having an inefficient collection of bumbling democracies

Yes, and I'd go further and say it's not just democracies and dictatorships but cultures of individualism and collectivism. It's no coincidence that east asia has done so well (South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore) compared to the US and much of Europe.
APL was created a long time ago and still we aren't using array languages. It's not like we haven't come up with great ideas (statically typed FP and array languages), it's just that the industry is too pathetic to actually capitalize of them.

Another way of looking at it is: what proportion of your wealth would you give to be wealthy for e.g. 60 years. This tax doesn't transform wealthy a wealthy person into a non wealthy person over time.
I agree that interfaces like Datasette are a fantastic idea. But, it's not the same thing. Think of this more like the SQL standard. What would you do if SQL did not exist and there were no common ways to discuss querying databases?

I am now, after seven or so years of calling myself a Gay San Franciscan Techie (immigrant) in a position of deciding whether buying a home in San Francisco is opportune seeing that I cannot seem to leave the city and could use the motivation.
