> There are functional tests that exercise
these classes working together. Fixing a bug in one class breaks many functional tests ..

Huh? If fixing a bug breaks a functional test, then either the test was correct and you changed your expected system behavior and the test saved your bacon, or the test was a change detector test not a functional test.

Saying "remove functional years" is just blinding yourself. A unit test will never tell you if the class you are changing has any relationship to the actual bug reported in production.

It seems like OP has never worked on a large system, or doesn't know about fakes (not mentioned in the article) to run end-to-end functional tests quickly in memory.
have you tried understanding how to find developers who has the problem in the first place? I think that you might get more traction that way.
Political leadership grows from below. People have started consume politics as an entertainment. You can't get good leaders in that kind of environment.

Spending hours per day following and discussing politics for emotional and intellectual reasons, instead of power-seeking organized action destroys democracy.

>"For most people who are political junkies, their news consumption is not really geared toward information that is going to help them be active citizens in the community. And even if it is, they’re not being active in the community. Most people who are daily news consumers belong to zero organizations and have worked zero times in the past year with other people on a community problem. So, most people are not doing anything."

I suspect social conservatives have so much power in the US because they attend church and that forms a nexus of political organization.
> At the expense even of showing me the same post I've seen for 5 days straight.

I found that LinkedIn is great at this, too. I regularly see posts from contacts in my feed that are three weeks old and that I've never seen before.

edit: LinkedIn will also shadowban your posts if they contain words from a blacklist. Just this morning a contact complained about that. He was very happy about being engaged as a speaker and wrote in a post "Das ist schon sehr geil [...]". While "geil" means "horny", especially younger Germans use that word without the sexual connotation but as a replacement for "great". His post reached only a few dozen people instead of hundreds, as normally.

edit: "Das ist schon sehr geil" could be translated as "That's really great indeed"
Nobody has ever needed to rollback.

This is at the same the truest and the wrongest sentiment.

True, because experience teaches that db rollbacks are exceedingly rare for production. The cost of maintaining them is larger than the costs of doing it by hand. Moreover, since the rollback path typically is much less tested and validated, you run significant risk of a blind rollback messing up your schema or data even further. With GP programming we typically choose to hide new functionality behind a feature flag and toggle it instead of relying on downgrading the software version.

Wrong, because there should be ability to perform provably lossless schema and data transformation. A lossless transformation would by its nature be amenable to a safe rollback. Just like a unified patch(1) patch file is a lossless transformation of a file and thus can be reversed, a lossless database change could be. The database engine could even offer an explicit support for checking, validating, and enforcing lossless (reversible) transformations, in similar spirit to the foreign key constraints guarding against mistaken deletion of relational data. Come to think of it, it would be very similar to a long-running transaction that encompasses both data and schema change, and that has side-effects visible to other transactions before it is closed and has its metadata discarded.

do you have a book recommendation for these kinds of things maybe?
That's certainly part of the solution, but not the whole picture. Even if you stopped pumping CO2 today, 1) global weather processes have already started,. 2) the rest of the already pumped CO2 is not going to magically dissapear. It will take time, time we don't have.

The only actual solution is to engineer many solutions, supported by reducing the pumping CO2 at a minimum, hopefully zero.
I prefer the wikiwand layout, see e.g.

Zoomed in at 150% it looks really nice. It also allows to justify the text and has a dark mode.

Just the performance could be a little bit better.
There isn't really a local good reference for "earth's surface normal" at the scale we're talking here anyway, though - it seems that what matters is the divergence between the gravity vector at one end of the factory and the other.
> the demand will always be there. Humans like to eat meat. I doubt very many will give up the privilege, esp. when others are not.

I guess that's why we're all doomed to a broken planet. As long as we keep using "well, no one else is going to change" as an excuse we'll inherit the world we deserve.
CPUs are complex. This case is ridiculously visible, but I suspect that only obvious performance-broker pops and are fixed/warned. Non performance-critical "everyday corner cases" fly to production.

I remember a blog post full of very specific cases that compiler don't optimize at all because the case could never appear in a performance sensitive code, but you could meet this situation in many code.

There is a ratio benefit/cost in performance inspection, both human workload and compiler code maintenance/performance. You want to focus on what matter and on big code base where every performance curves are flat, you could think everything has been done.
There was a significant uptick in auto deaths in may/June once lockdown was eased. Drug overdoses are up too. Homicides is another that has been up lately.

Are these indirectly related to Covid? Are all contemporary deaths Covid induced? Are any lockdown induced but not Covid directly?

IMO Facebook should be able to police its own platform, so if it has a large presence in Ethiopia then it needs to police that part of its platform (ideally using employees based in Ethiopia). If it feels it can't effectively police Ethiopian Facebook without amplifying hateful/violent messages then they shouldn't be operating there.

Nope, still done though code, at least in the base framework.
Most people call that patch mocking.

But it's good to have a name for shunt because otherwise people mistakenly think using a pure mock is a good idea. (It isn't. Use a fake instead -- real code but with a fast in-memory data store instead of a real database server)
As an atheist, putting the Bible in non-fiction makes sense to me because it's a true statement about the beliefs of a certain people. Whatever your religion, few people would consider reading the Bible to be "story time" in the same sense as Harry Potter, A Tale of Two Cities, or even something like The Odyssey. You're either studying the Bible to learn about God, or you're studying it to learn about other people.

That's not to say the line isn't murky, but that's true of any human classification system.
Tried it, but I didn't like how single window seemed to work with the VCS detection. And I found it generally too messy to keep track of what files belonged to what project.

I just have a few vscode windows open in fullscreen on my laptop. So I just switch to whatever one I need to use at that time. It's never really more than 3 at a time.
The iPhone wasn't successful because it was "bleeding-edge tech", it was successful because it was a bold and innovative remix of existing technology.
How is this any different from hybrid vehicles still burning FF? Yes, it makes it slightly better, but eating certain protein sources is a choice, whereas transportation infrastructure is an economically-limited choice.

Animal ag still causes:

- climate change

- inefficient allocation of calories and fresh water

- water, air, and ground pollution (lakes of poo, runoff into rivers)

- pandemic and other zoonotic disease accelerated evolution (many animals in close proximity, including humans and occasionally wild animals)

- increased food prices

- usual also including animal welfare and cruelty

It seems like putting a happy face on coal, smoking, asbestos, or DDT
The casing is just a rectangular plastic box with some holes in it, I'm sure you could get some made at that price.

Even if the PCB costs 5x the quoted price, you're still rounding down to $1.

That said, I have no idea what production costs are for something like this.
Thanks for trying it out. We have a bit of work to make bootstrap process easier.

We have a limited set of notebooks published online to demo how they work. For example:

* https://docable.cloud/chrisparnin/examples/basics/script.md

* https://docable.cloud/chrisparnin/examples/tutorials/Git.md

Right now, we're using the notebooks to build better lecture materials + workshops, especially for my DevOps course:
https://github.com/CSC-DevOps/Course

We've seen some interest in having support for live documentation + OneOps (simple runbooks for one-off devops tasks), so we'll probably continue to explore this more.

>It's depressing how stupid we (Humans) are...

While I have often repeated George Carlin's observation[0] that:
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

And felt superior, the truth (as it is with most things) is much more nuanced and complex.

Firstly, what we term our (singular) "mind" is really the synthesis of multiple, sometimes competing[1] neural systems.

In part, our "view" of the world around us isn't the real-time "I sense it and it's so" process we experience. Rather, our brains' multiple systems take in and interpret stimuli (including memories and physical responses sparked by those stimuli) and arrive at a "story" our brain tells us, that we see as "reality."

In most cases, the story is close enough to the actual events/stimuli around us, that we do just fine.

In many surroundings/situations we often make decisions/judgements which don't engage the higher-level reasoning portions of our brains, but instead rely on systems driven by emotion and responses selected for over millions of years of evolution.

An interesting and accessible discussion of this can be found in the recent PBS series Hacking Your Mind[2].

The upshot is that while we aren't necessarily dumb, our neural systems are susceptible to being misled when specific responses (fear is an excellent example) are induced by stimuli (in this case, social media posts) that push us to rely on the emotional/quick response systems in our brains more so than the slower, more reasoned/balanced systems.

And that isn't a dumb vs. smart thing. It's taking advantage of responses/processes that have evolved in us and our ancestors over millions of years. Those processes were (and sometimes still are) critical in quickly assessing whether or not a specific situation or individual poses a threat, an opportunity or can safely be ignored.

So, no. We aren't stupid, we're just wired to respond in certain ways that marketers and propagandists use to their own advantage.

Obviously, this is over simplified (hey, it's a comment on HN, not an academic paper), but I believe it elucidates the nuance/complexity of human interpretation and experience of "reality."

I'd welcome those who have actual expertise in this area to chime in with better/more specific information.

The CDC reports that Hawaii has the highest influenza/pneumonia mortality rate of any state: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/flu_pneumonia_mort...

They also report that influenza/pneumonia is the fifth leading cause of death in Hawaii. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/states/hawaii/hi.htm

Historically, influenza/pneumonia is a little under 10% of all deaths in Hawaii.

The CDC and the Hawaii state department of health combine the causes. "Studies have suggested that P&I [pneumonia and influenza] is a good indicator of influenza-related deaths and therefore P&I is one method for influenza surveillance." This combination makes it difficult to determine how many deaths were due to the "flu" specifically.
You just moved the goalposts!

You cited research, then when pressed on it, gave up on actually citing any, and just appealed to people's preferences. If this is really about preferences, that's what you should've said, rather than making a fake claim to have scientific backing.

If I'm understanding the linked bug report right, this is just plain unpleasant. So, running SSE code mixed with AVX code has a penalty unless you zero out the upper parts of the registers in a special way when switching from AVX to SSE. This seems annoying but no big deal - just save the registers your function needs to preserve using AVX instructions, zero them out, do your SSE computations, and restore them before returning. Not so fast! If the calling code was legacy SSE rather than AVX, this will mark the upper halves of the registers as dirty and incur a performance penalty after the function returns, even though the offending registers have the same contents at the architectural level as they did before the call and the only AVX code is the code intended to clear out and restore the upper halves of the registers in order to prevent exactly this. Apparently, the fix is to test if the upper halves of the registers are zero and use different code paths to save and restore them depending on whether they are. What a mess.
Maybe I'm just cynical but there's not a shred of doubt in my mind these companies regularly engage in shadowbanning among many other nefarious activities. They're trying to make money and you are the product after all. They could care less about you or their impact to society.
Yeah, I can also confirm this. I live in the midwest, so I've encountered these people more than a few times. Even on HN you'll see a lot of people arguing that vegetarianism is actively unhealthy if not downright unsurvivable without supplements.
So your problem with what I said is that there’s clearly far more to it than cow farts so you feel like we therefore shouldn’t do anything at all.

Or maybe I said “best bang-for-buck” and you heard “planes eat seaweed”.
Sure, “kind of like” how the Nazi Party usurped Germany a hundred years ago. Why don’t you have a civil discourse with people who believe in slavery? Give me a break.
The ads were not annoying at the time of release. I really enjoyed reading those ads and finding out about products specs and prices, remember that we didn’t have the Web back then and Byte magazine was my main source of information about what was available.

You completely misunderstand both me and the comic. The point is, as rainonmoon correctly points out, that most followers of Nietzsche are not really actually following Nietzsche.

To counter my argument you must

1) find an example,

2) estimate the economic burden of that estimate.

It's my understanding that DM' is much more important part of FB business than it is to Google. My argument relies on weighing the economic impact.

>the USA meets the required judicial standards”.

Except that, on paper, the UK [and I think the wider EU] claim they will not extradite someone to a country which still retains the death penalty, or which uses torture. Since the US clearly fails both those tests, no-one should ever be extradited from the UK or the EU to the USA.

But as we all know, the US is special and doesn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else.

Is it possible that different parts of the world, with different ethnic and migratory histories, might have different dynamics that lead groups to wind up in impoverished situations? Once groups of people are in poverty, yes, I would expect the issues you mention: lower educational outcomes, increased welfare reliance, and increased crime rates.

In the US, the combined demographic trend of Black, urban, and "in poverty" can be traced in substantial part to specific racist policies in the New Deal and post-WWII eras. There's more detail available, but:

a) a substantial amount of government subsidy and policy in those periods was designed to encourage people (especially young families started post-war) to move out of cities, buy land, and raise families there (through low interest rates, development subsidies, etc). This allowed the people who benefited from those policies to start building generational wealth, and essentially created the single-family self-owned non-commercially-functional lot as the fundamental unit of the suburbs.

b) The benefits of many of those policies were both openly and subtly denied to black people, all over the country. Many of the New Deal and post-WWII policies explicitly excluded black people from benefiting. Additionally, redlining (where banks had explicit policies that denied mortgages to black people) and deed covenants (where developers and communities explicitly disallowed sales to black families). This prevented those families from benefiting from the wealth injection I mentioned earlier, occurred all over the country, and was only banned in 1968.

c) After that, poverty is a pretty easy steady state to maintain for specific groups. You just need long-term, focused policing strategies, constant downward pressure on educational and municipal funding, and policies that encourage urban real estate consolidation (and thus rentership).

Where is the argument that this isn't an example of systematic racism denying black people many of the benefits available to the rest of modern American society?

The argument isn't that this was applied to all African American people, the argument is that it was applied to enough to create a correlated gap.
The "actual result" looks nothing like that in my browser, so I can't really judge, although I agree that it looks terrible on your screenshot (text overlapping in links, etc.).

However, the line length, while suboptimal there, is pretty commonly encountered — pick up a newspaper and look how many words fit in a column.
Not really. Choosing to help promote hate speech isn't a neutral position, it's an active one.
Yes, they often refer to “facts” that cannot be proved or disproved. You cannot question conspiracy theory because every your claim will be opposed with just created new one. You reason (logically), they think up a new claim. It's pointless process.
Interestingly, that does work on new wikipedia (good on them) but not on many other sites I tested and has some weird results in some places (for example, it doesn't change the regular text size on HN but makes the "reply" link larger). It seems this doesn't have the desired effect or support and could break things for general use. And unfortunately, as a web dev, I have to primarily work with default settings on.
Take a bunch of people and remove annatto from the diet of half of them. For the annatto foods or their placebo substitutes, grind up and dye the food so the eater can't distinguish from placebo.
I think that says more about the aptitude of the metaphors in the collection than about whether "cement of society" (where cement normally is poured and ignored) is the best metaphor we can use for what I see: "X of society" where X is an agglutinative process that needs constant renewal (first gained then maintained?) by a society's members.

(In my society we often speak of "tisser des liens" to weave society together, but I think felting is a stronger metaphor than weaving or knitting. The artificial structures of the latter two can be unravelled relatively easily by pulling at loose ends, but the random interlacings of the former resist such abuses.)

Multiple-decades of hearing aid wearing here. I agree with most of that. I ended up buying the programmer for my aids to do small tweaks (not the prescription/audiogram, just the program configuration where you can edit the level of DSP in various situations).

I would say that this latest generation of hearing aids (Phonak Marvel) is the first generation where I've felt like they've got it right. Direct bluetooth connection that just works, and with a very wide range of volume adjustment (older models that used add-on streamer would not go loud enough). People receiving my voice over bluetooth, using the hearing aid's onboard microphones, report good sound quality. Magic.
