Quite likely because the logistics aren’t there yet and even more so because actual weapons are available everywhere.

Drones still require someone to turn them into weapons going after bomb makers is an extremely effective strategy because while there are a million guides on the internet on how to make an IED or a suicide vest the actual amount of people capable of making them is extremely small the world isn’t HN.

I know what you mean, but I don't share your attitude.

I have worked on codebases where 8000 compiler warnings was just "So no errors then? That means the build is fine."

But 7990 of those warnings had been there for at least five years. Adding the 8001st warning in your build still meant that you probably did something ill-advised or poorly thought out.

It's just very hard to allow/forbid the right warnings per compilation unit (this was in the C#/.NET ecosystem) to tell the compiler what you did or did not care about.
>There are presumably more things that "don't go away when you stop believing in them" than "what outcomes of experiments should be."

If so, I don't know what.

Anyway, I think you're implicitly privileging one abstraction, called an "interpretation" over "just the plain math". But if they're equivalent, what is real about choosing one or the other, let alone between different "interpretations"?

Why is an "interpretation" a real thing and not the equations?

This seems structurally similar to a classic theological argument between theist and atheist; ok, you believe in a god, but why that particular god? And if there's no reason for a particular god, why bother with any?
My office gives (almost) everyone a 2017 Macbook Air with dual core i5-5350U with 8Gb Ram and 128Gb ssd's. I installed Fedora last year October and been using it ever since.

Volume keys, brightness keys, touchpad & keyboard backlit all works perfect. Only problem is the kernel doesn't support the specific wifi module (broadcom) out of the box, so I installed Fedora via usb-lan dongle (netinstall), which the company also provides anyway. After installation you can install the broadcom modules yourself and it just work. Strange enough the bluetooth works out of the box.

I didn't dualboot or mess with any of that, just wiped the ssd clean and made partitions with the lvm automatic option in the Fedora installer.

Next time I will definitely install Fedora + Xfce instead of Gnome, since I'm using this combination on a another low spec machine and it's great. So maybe give the xfce spin a try.
I thought the same. He mentioned advocating for change and it not bearing any fruits, and also mentions past attempts by previous co-workers, but this seems to be a culture issue (there also seem to be many colleagues who don't seem to have a problem with the slowness of change), which means you need to reach a higher responsibility position first, before substantial change can occur (through you).

But at the same time, with the current employee market being what it is, if you are unhappy there is _no need_ to play the grind game to help a company grow, unless you are really attached to it.
They don't have to be for a global scale, though.

Learning programming as a kid, it could be easier when the standard library has functions in the native language. Learning if, while etc are easy as they are just tokens. But the hundreds of functions are hard to look up when one's new and cannot easily understand what a function does based on a foreign description.
I started working on this at the Recurse Center two weeks ago.

As for practical work-related side benefits, I've neither had my open-source work weigh in on the hiring process (as everyone still asks algorithms/data structures questions) nor earned much money through it. But I love building open-source tools that would be useful for people, including me (I used `present` for a talk some days ago), so you could say it's just a hobby at this point.
There have been a lot of requests for the table of contents. It’s on my todo list; I’ll post again when it’s ready :)
There are really three categories of management:

* Line management: are you willing to be the man and promulgate the party line? You can be mostly apolitical in this role.

* Middle management: are you willing to be the pawn of a specific member or two of senior management and do their bidding (which probably isn’t fully aligned with the party line)?

* Senior management: do you know how to intelligently break the rules in order to stand out from the crowd of middle managers? This could be by developing a broad following within the lower levels of the company through self-promotion, through cultivating specific relationships with the CEO and/or board, or by (in rare cases) delivering on highly visible and truly remarkable results for the company.
MacBookPro have a driver bug that makes the dGPU run at max power (20W) whenever it is on (which is always forced whenever an external monitor is connected). So that's not why Linux uses more energy. More likely Mac is better at turning down idle services like in Safari

I think you might have your knowns and unknowns backwards.
Only ~5% of Earth speaks English natively. Another 15% speak it as an nth language.

I think English based programming is an anomaly that came out of the post-WWII US/UK cultural world order, and from that sustained economic boom came modern computers, languages and the internet to a mass market.

20% of the world speaks Mandarin Chinese (not all as a first language tho). And, about the same % as speak English natively, speak Hindi (+ dialects) natively, and again about the same amount speak Arabic, and again about the same amount (all above 300 million) speak French, tho a greater % of those have le français as an nth language.

HN, and programming, shouldn't get carried away with the myopic, "fish in the fishbowel" view of English primacy. It's really not. Not globally. Just like "white people" are not a majority. Only in a very narrow, very opinionated and specific corner of the globe are those things true. It's a big world out there, much bigger, it seems than many of you imagine from your keyboards.

Even tho HN is in English, many HNers are not native English speakers. I see people associating programming languages with English and thinking it's simply natural (if just by convention), but for most of the world, this simply isn't true, and it could have been another way. In the future it might be another way.

So I really feel it's not accurate to say there's some "problem" with people on Earth creating languages that are founded in Chinese, or Japanese, or Italian, or Russian, or Hindi, or any of the many other languages people speak. For a large corner (or even a small corner) of the world, it would not be a "problem", it would be perfectly natural.

I just don't think it's that accurate, or that useful, to think of programming and English as being somehow a natural match.

When people speak about "representation" in the "tech industry" they ought to consider this factor as well. I'm not just talking about SV, I mean "global representation in engineering". Of course, if Japanese people decide to embrace a language that somehow uses Japanese letters or characters then, there's probably not much you can do about it.

I'm just saying, don't assume it's a bad thing and don't think somehow English and programming has to go together. Certainly at the level of logic, and CS, programming is completely independent of English (tho interesting to think about how the grammar of English maybe constrained and drove initial language structures, concepts and flow control and do a comparative study of differences to languages that emerged from cultures and used other human languages.)
Don't use RAID5/6 in production. This is well-documented , and the remaining issue (the write hole) is being worked on. As with any software, don't use features not marked stable in production.

As for the write-only bug, 1) that only affects 2-disk RAID1 setups where people insist on cowboying around with their degraded arrays, and 2) doesn't result in data loss, merely an additional copy step to restore the array. Don't run your arrays in a degraded state, please.

As I wrote, SUSE considers Btrfs stable for production use, and they're the premier enterprise distro in Europe.
If you have hard constraints at inference time, then it can be much easier to tune to a time budget with C++.

For what it's worth, eggs are sold in boxes of 6, 10, 12 or 15 in British supermarkets. The price on the shelf (or in grey text on the site below) must give the price per egg.

The app situation is not perfect, but there are some (not all available on every distribution): https://linmobapps.frama.io.

Specifically Pure Maps is available as a Flatpak and can be used in conjunction with OSM Scout Server for Offline Maps.

Also, Anbox support got almost usable in the PinePhone’s ArchLinuxARM distribution with working networking and a working keyboard just yesterday, so some Android apps are going to work. I expect Manjaro to ship at least the same level of Anbox support with their PinePhone CE.

The relation is usually unstated so it becomes a mental exercise to steelman the categorization by trying to think of one.

>Captcha's aren't to identify humans

I mean, that is their primary purpose, and there's a message that says so.

Unless you are saying "they aren't to identify humans, they're to exclude bots" in which case I'm not sure what that means.
No, it's just a bizarro question. I've been using it since 2003, and it's stabler than ever, while doing more for the user than ever (new fs, virtualization support, Handover, Continuity, and tons of other stuff besides).
SVN has much simpler concepts and a much smaller "surface area" to learn because it is a centralized versioning system. If you don't need the features of a distributed versioning system then there's little reason for using git (apart from "everybody's using git", which of course may be the strongest reason to adopt it too).

> But the bank hasn't made any money?! It just wants back "more" than it "gave". Am I missing something?

Let's take the example where the bank loans out $10 and wants back $11. The money created in this example is not $1 (when the loan is eventually paid back and the bank makes $1 profit), it's $10 (when the loan is initially given out).

Let's imagine that the bank does not want to make a profit and only wants back $10. Even in this example the bank is creating $10. If you sum up how much money everybody has, people have $10 more money the moment the loan is given out.
Btrfs is in large-scale production use by a number of companies, including Facebook, who are active contributors.

ZFS will never be part of the Linux kernel due to both licensing issues and it including its own crypto, cache and other subsystems.

Personally I have high hopes for bcachefs, but Btrfs is here to stay.

Malta should be included too; They used to be part of the UK till 1964, they still drive on the left side, so no idea how they feel/speak about metric.
Fair point, but that's obviously not true. All evidence we have points to both amazon and google following excelent software development practices. They are even drivers of good practices in certain parts. So, we'd need stronger evidence to show that they are not doing their due diligence before releasing new versions. I'd say that releasing software without tests, code review and incremental rollout would be akin to drunk driving. However, I believe they do all of that and more.

Moreover, I don't know about the many developers you have experience with, but if the developer considers the behaviour to be a bug, I have a hard time believing they don't consider the behaviour to be a failure (ie. someone made a mistake somewhere). Though, I can definitely see people shifting the responsability to someone else, specially if there's a blame culture in place. Obviously, that's easier to do once you know the root cause. However, a company will be better off by putting solid QA practices in place and measuring "fuck ups" as a decrease in productivity instead of measuring it as the number of times each developer break production.
Fictionpress and Fanfiction.net are also similarly customisable. You can change para width, font-size, background/foreground colour, and the font too (about 10 different kinds).

Font-size is trivially done by the user zooming, but the other settings probably ought to be implemented by more sites, especially text heavy ones.
Do you mean principal component analysis? My naive understanding after reading the original paper is that the algorithm is training a transformation to project the high dimensional data into low dimensions by best preserving both the global and local proximity. So that the samples similar at high dim space should also be close in the low dim one. It has some assumption of the distribution of the data in low dim so it won't be a random guess. It's using the t-distribution at low dim hence the name t-SNE. Correct me if any mistakes.
Because nuclear power is still just thermal power. You need access to coolant. Ever wondered why a tsunami prone island like Japan decided to place a nuclear plant near the ocean? Doesn't that sound like a very stupid decision? Well, the reality is that this a necessary requirement for monolithic nuclear power plants. Rivers vary in their flow rates depending on the season. If the flow rate is too low there is less cooling capacity and subsequently you will have to turn the nuclear plant off, which will seriously hurt the economics of the plant. The only reliable cooling source is the ocean. Of course, if you have smaller plants you can live with less cooling.
That approach was very popular in LOGO, which was aimed at teaching coding. I believe that's where turtle graphics originated.

It had many translations and there were many more built-in keywords.
So I suppose I put it to you that there is something special about the IOUs created by banks - they are legally allowed to used.

Even if everyone agreed to use your IOU from the article the tax office is going to have quite a bit to say on the subject and probably start launching audits. And if the IOU start getting traction they are likely to trigger police raids and maybe a legislative response (look at how Facebook dropped their Libra for example). That seems substantially different from the IOUs the banks can create.

I wouldn't use bank-issued IOUs if I thought I had a choice. I'm pretty sure I'm forced to by government policy.
Which is either the situation we are in now, or even tighter controls (which he proposed).

Either way, it doesn't lead to more nuclear power (which is what the OP was arguing for).

I don't think this deserves the down votes. I love ZFS, use ZFS and I'd still say that the licensing issue is real. Just because Oracle hasn't sued Canonical doesn't mean they can't or won't.
I disagree, it's in part a people problem - more draconian test suites just make developers more inclined to cheat and they tend to write tests which are not valid or just get the tool passing...

It's more important to visually model and test than to enforce some arbitrary set of rules that don't apply universally - then you have at least the visual impetus of 'this is wrong' or 'I need to test this right'.

A lot of time is spent visually testing UIs and yet these same people struggle with testing the code that matters...
I think some sort of highly flexible model is long overdue. So, not a complete abandonment of the office, but people will no longer be forced to go in.

There's things that are hard to communicate even over vidconf, and thus it's useful to have at least some human contact. On the other hand, it's very useful for people with families to be able to shift their working hours around, and a fair few jobs would allow that.

I foresee a lot of firms reducing the offices, maybe making what's left a bit nicer, and then letting people take care of their own time. Perhaps something like a day or two in the office for meetings, the rest of the time work from home but be in contact.

Managers will have to let go of the desire to see that everyone is in their seat.
It wants the extra dollar, just like any other company in the economy, its working to earn it.

> The whole point of rights is that they're non-conditional.

I agree with the broad point about the importance of the right to consent/ refuse treatment. But, surely, there can be places where individuals' rights conflict and society's tie-breaking creates conditions on the rights.

Freedom of religion as long as your religion isn't to sacrifice unwilling virgins.

Freedom of speech as long as what you want to say isn't to make false claims about the safety of your food product.

Rights are "unconditioned where possible" and where they conflict, it's an appropriate place for societies to debate their merits, metes, and bounds.
Is there a localised language that uses structures and ideas of the locale? This could be significant because the human languages has an influence on how we think. People count differently, reason differently, imply differently when thwy have different language tools in their disposal.
