My favorite part of redux is how reducers are really just big switch statements: https://redux.js.org/introduction/getting-started#basic-exam...
What I don't get is:

- The police need social capital. It helps enormously if they can be take at face value for "just doing their job". And this would help in the minor day-to-day interactions that makes up the majority of their working lives.

- Not only is it blatant corruption, the very existence of such cards harms the whole police forces social relationship! It is a "associate infraction with a cop!" card!

If I were a true friend of the police, I would:

- let them do their job fairly (while not letting them get away with unfair)

- not try to associate a cop buddy of mine with my poor decisions!
> hmm, when I hear "Eastern Europe", I don't think "ethnically homogeneous", I think "substantial Roma minority".

What first comes to our minds doesn't constitute data, and is prone to create availability bias.

Percentage of Roma for several Eastern European countries are; Bosnia And Herzegovina: 0.36% (2013), Serbia 2.1% (2011), Macedonia 2.7% (2002), Albania 0.6% (2011), Croatia 0.4% (2011), Ukraine 0.3% (2001). There is no substantial Roma minority, in fact Roma is usually one of the smallest among other minorities in these countries.
My all-time favorite is the original LVars paper: https://users.soe.ucsc.edu/~lkuper/papers/lvars-fhpc13.pdf
In general, I've noticed a trend in most communities I participate in that criticism is inherently negative. There's no view that you can be critical just understand something or see how to improve it, if you're critical you're attacking.
If it's simple alignment like blast, they don't need the interconnect. But supercomputers provide all the other necessary needs: fast processors, connected nodes, accelerators, massive I/O bandwidth. Why build a cluster without a fast interconnect to complement those features? That's just turning down research customers. And 15% on top of the other hardware is nothing. The main costs is all the power, custom software, and support staff. And not all bioinformatics is ops on strings with minimal message passing.

For these guys, it's likely their best and only option. They probably weren't given the money to build a cluster optimized for their needs or to maintain a cloud instance. Why? Its oakridge, their main priority is HPC physics. It's hard to argue when you have access to such a HPC center. And HPC sites need all the customers they can get, lest their clusters get shoved into the cloud. It's a real fear. They'd end up with hidden costs, data lockin, and poor interconnects. To help pay for those peak massive simulations, traditional HPC need to fill up that last 10-15% and bioinformatics needs most of what they offer. Perhaps all that hard won knowledge will rub off on the burgeoning field too. :)

A vision of bio-oriented HPC is IU's clusters. Though they have a shiny new cray shasta with ampere and slingshot, several of their other clusters are 10 gigs with high mem nodes. All connected to the same storage too. The hospital is the main customer and dictates their designs.

Ditto on the paper though. It's what I disliked about Bioinformatics. All the glory to the researchers designing the experiments and they can't even bother to mention what software they used.
I didn’t downvote but I’d also guess it’s not just the mention of a name but 1) it’s kind of hyperbolic to say AOC did that, (she must be extreme powerful indeed!), 2) it doesn’t seem congruent with the point of the comment about the commercial real estate collapse which is not something driven by a representative from Queens but driven by a pandemic and increasing realization by businesses that it’s cheaper to put their workforces elsewhere or in their homes.
The screenshot does show slightly higher CPU. We wanted to remain honest in that way. Strictly speaking, CPU usage is lower if you use Watercooler over having to open your browser to do a video call (if you add up all processes) and it's comparable to Zoom. Will work on maybe changing the phrasing on this. Thanks for the feedback!

Edit: Changed the copy to just "Watercooler uses less memory and than any other video conferencing app with comparable CPU."

There's a server machine where you connect the keyboard and mouse and client machines that just have a monitor connection.

You arrange the geometry in the software to make the mouse move between machines in an intuitive manner. Whichever machine has the mouse has the keyboard input as well.

So you do need a dedicated monitor per machine from my experience.
>How does removing limits relate to horizontal vs vertical?

Vertical -> give more resources to the program

Horizontal -> run more instances of the program

Removing limits gives your pods more resources (scaling them vertically) whereas creating more pods creates more copies (scaling horizontally).

Assuming parent meant scaling by whole units with "scale atomically", that is you have one or two running programs, not "1.5" if you just give it 50% more resources.

> If the Constitution says "Congress shall make no law..." and Congress still makes a law, what are you going to do, throw Congress in jail? That's nonsense.

The only nonsense is that we haven't done exactly that. If someone in power betrays the public trust they should be punished. The punishment ought to be severe so there is no doubt about the stakes at play.

> That might actually be unconstitutional ex-post-facto punishment.

We have members of our government who have taken oaths to other nations, and that have then voted to provide those other nations with aid and support. Similarly, we have members of our government who provide legal sanctuary for those who defy the laws of the land. And, regardless of your political beliefs, both parties currently in power have voted overwhelmingly in favor of war over the past several decades.

Getting into a pedantic argument of the semantics of "stopped" is missing the point that Disney has a vault into which they put their movies so that they can extract more revenue from their IP by trickling it out on a seasonal basis, stopping anyone screening movies that Disney don't want on rotation.

It's especially pertinent here since the purpose of screening the movie was to commemorate the life of Chadwick Boseman, the lead actor of that movie. Disney didn't even make an exception by unvaulting a popular movie on the occasion of the lead actor's death.

But when it comes to the pedantry…

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stop

… remember that "stop" used as a transitive verb means "to make impassable," or "to keep from carrying out a proposed action." There doesn't have to be an action in progress to stop it. The theatre proposed a course of action, Disney stopped that course of action by not giving access to the resources required to proceed.

There are eight senses of the word "stop" when used as a transitive verb, and your pedantic argument relies on choosing one sense of the word and ignoring the others.

If you are going to be pedantic, do it properly.
The Odyssey was not translated by Alexander Pope, but by a ghostwriter Pope hired to translate it under his name. He did this to cash in on the enormous popularity of his translation of Homer's Iliad, compared to which the ghostwritten work pales.

Pope's translation of the Iliad is one of the most amazing books I've ever read. Highly, highly recommended if you want to experience stunningly beautiful and powerful language.
What about just simplifying it and saying that, the majority of the reason for climate change is burning coal and oil ?

That is access control when tags exist...

You can't, for example, deny an EC2 instance creation of it is NOT tagged with Key X. The recommendation is to watch cloud trail and post-creation, terminate it.

Creation events for EC2 do. It support tags, it's actually a 2 step process (the GUI console hides this, the SDK and IAM policy limits make this clear)

EC2, last I checked, does not allow tag conditionals at instance creation. You can have tag controls afterwards, but the instance creation call does not support tagging (the GUI masks this)
Ah I was wrong. Yes, you are absolutely correct.

That's the root of my complaint...

This effectively means IAM cannot limit creation events by tag because it's two steps. Only solution is two steps
The easiest way to do this is to skip KVM because the latency and disconnect is awful, and the tangle of wires is un unnecessary mess.

I'm aware of what the reality is. I'm mostly poking fun at people who claim that this industry is anything resembling a meritocracy (whatever that even means).

But the broader point is, and I say this as someone who, broadly, is okay with the status quo of tech interviewing, the idea that to be compensated fairly, one needs to focus on all of these things that aren't actually improving my skills or value to the company I work for is counterintuitive.

I would like to be in a situation where the company says "this is how we structure compensation, here's how your performance plays into that, and so here are the levers you can pull to change your compensation". Even better if I can see where other companies in the market sit. Then, I can focus on increasing my value to $employer, which will hopefully reward me with more money. Only at the point that I feel that there are other, better offers that $company can't compete with (whether for $$ or ethical or interesting work reasons) do I have any need to interview elsewhere.

But the incentives aren't aligned that way, and it's annoying.
Screensharing in Messages does exist, but it's convoluted. This experience is (in my very biased opinion) way nicer.
USB is a differential signal, not a digital one (like a GPIO square wave), and once you lose the training the connection is lost: it's basically a replug, but you can't do it too quickly, so you need to build a circuit to switch it; or just have a smart hub that electrically switches it by maintaining all of the connections (phy links).

1. There are websites to foster fears of warmongering (or to assure oneself that Red Dawn can never happen) such as Global Firepower. Here is the USA vs China. When I’m feeling unpatriotic, it can be fun to play with this website and imagine the torment we could cause our enemies, despite us not being able to regulate ride-sharing companies.

2. I’m not sure why military expenditures should matter so starkly. If I buy a 10 laser cannons for $1 million, and you spend $50 million on 5 million rifles, I might still beat you with my Stormtrooper weapon. Point is, it matters more on what you’re buying and building - and how you manage projects - than raw costs.

3. This article is not really new. The NY Times made a similar clickbait headline a few years back. The Brookings Institute rebutted it then.

4. The IQ arguments are specious. If IQ won wars, we wouldn’t have any. Also, I’ll take Patton, Lincoln, and Washington over their adversaries of the time, despite their adversaries being noted for their intellect. Lastly, what’s IQ got to do with anything in regards to China, a country that doesn’t reward innovative free enterprise. Their best and brightest aren’t at liberty to try their hand in the marketplace of ideas, but are forced to build what the Party says must be built. And those are just the ones that get found out. I imagine the truly bright minds of China stay in academia, escape, or humbly work the rice fields and keep their head down. I would. Why risk notoriety?

Google and Microsoft both give you $1000 in your HSA to offset that. If you don't use it, you get to keep it. Deducitbles are $1400 now, so still you pay max $400 + 10% of how much you go over till $2800. So around $540. Which isn't bad at all.

You seem to be suggesting that if the correct candidate is elected in November these problems will be fixed, that couldn't be further from reality. These problems have been here for decades. In fact, if we put forth that the candidate that has been voting on bills and by extension existing laws for the longest period of time is more to blame for the current state of affairs then you have no choice but to conclude that voting for that candidate will not change much.

Why would you prosecute people who were given permission by the relevant authorities?

>The call-tracking effort began without court authorization under President George W. Bush following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.<

So the PotUS gave them the authority.

>A similar program was approved by the secretive FISA Court beginning in 2006 and renewed numerous times, but the 9th Circuit panel said those rulings were legally flawed.<

So in this instance the IC was still operating under the authority of the FISA court. Whether the court came to the right conclusions or not is irrelevant to whether or not the agencies were bound to following those conclusions.

>The metadata program was officially shut down in 2015 after Congress passed the USA FREEDOM Act, which provided a new mechanism where phone providers retained their data instead of turning it over to the government. The revamped system appears to have been abandoned by the NSA in 2018 or 2019.<

So the programs being discussed have already been terminated. What more would you have done? Are we going to prosecute judges for making rulings we disagree with?

>The American Civil Liberties Union hailed the decision as "a victory for our privacy rights," though the left-leaning group said it was "disappointed that, having found the surveillance of Mr. Moalin unlawful, the court declined to order suppression of the illegally obtained evidence in his case."<

As an aside, it's wildly funny to me that the ACLU won't defend free speech anymore but they'll defend terrorists and their supporters.

Thank you for the kind words. Everything you said is exactly my motivation for building this. Please let me know what the experience of using it is like and what can we do to keep improving it.

When it comes to comparing this to Zoom, I would say that the video/audio quality is just as good if you have a good internet connection and a tiny little bit of luck. Like it really truly can be and has been many times during testing. What I think the app needs to be better at is handling situations where bandwidth is not as plentiful or the system doesn't have that menu resources. That's the next thing I want to work on with this.

I don't think SCOTUS in its entire history has ever directly ordered anyone jailed, only upheld lower court rulings jailing someone or overturning opinions that concluded someone shouldn't be jailed. So at most that's recourse within the judicial system failing, not lack of recourse; obviously, pardon power can "fail" as recourse too, if anything, not providing recourse to injustice is the normal operation of pardon power.

If my choices were status quo and status-quo-except-pardon-power-is-abolished, I would probably prefer the status quo, because law enforcement overreach is currently a bigger problem than abuse of pardon power. But you made a much stronger statement: "There's no choice in a democracy but to have something like the pardon power." I disagree with that, I could easily imagine a much more just and fair democratic system where all recourse to judicial overreach still involved a decision by a judge at some point.
Excellent point. Let's look at how "police discretion" works for what's basically a non-crime like jaywalking. In 2019, the NYPD issued 397 tickets for illegal or unsafe road crossing. 354 (90%) were issued to black or hispanic walkers. Black and hispanics are about 55% of the population.

But the story doesn't end there. The police in NYC are divided into 77 "precincts." Just 3 of those 77 divisions issued 40% of the tickets. Those precincts are predominant black and hispanic areas (Claremont Village, South Bronx, High Bridge). Meanwhile, 37 precincts didn't issue even a single jaywalking ticket all year.

If police officers used their personal discretion in some sort of consistent or even completely random way, it'd be fine, but clearly it is enforced in a terribly uneven way, even consciously or unconsciously.

I guarantee that a lot of favorites are just ‘to read later’. In that model, articles themselves are read at once or go into Pocket-like services, with selective perusal of comment sections. In most cases, comments are sorta predictable, or interesting perspectives are quickly exhausted—and only especially rich threads go into the favorites to later be pored over. However, interesting ‘Ask HNs’ are obviously followed by lots of interesting comments (hopefully), so they fall straight into the category to be sorted out with attention.
Your comment would be significantly improved without the last part.

In other words, learn your craft and the way you express it will be individual to you. There is no need to create a "style" for your work. I think this relates to the topic!
