You're looking for MMA surgery. Try to find someone who understands sleep apnea. Ignore anyone who tells you to get UPPP which only has 25-50% effectiveness. The best surgeons are at Stanford in Northern California. It will be a year long process with wisdom teeth extraction and orthodontics. Be patient, and good luck!
An old office mate had been a systems programmer back in the days of mainframes. He once put a local-site patch into the mainframe boot code where the question about wiping and restoring the on-line storage required operators to type in, correctly capitalized and punctuated, the precise string: "Yes, I really do want to spend the entirety of my shift hanging tapes."

.... and someone still did it. The struggle is real.
Yeah you're right about that. My bad.
I can try to be more direct in pointing out the obvious biases that we have on this echochamber, if you think that would spark more thoughtful debate? If you think the tone of the post was wrong, I can address that, but I don't really think that it's fair to suggest we avoid talking about this kind of thing?

My other comment that you're calling a "supercilious dismissal" also received 31 upvotes and some interesting responses, fwiw.
More Than a Decade Later, NumPy Releases First Review Paper on Fundamental Array
It's not possible to build a business without participating on platforms.

Even the web is a platform now. You won't do well running a website if Google Search and Chrome don't favour it. Depending on how you plan to get your initial customers, you may hit a sizeable roadblock if Google Ads or Facebook Ads decide that they don't want to run your ads.

Windows and MacOS are also platforms.

Even pretty big companies depend upon platforms. Take the example of Epic getting booted from Apple's app store. Facebook have not been able to get Apple to approve Facebook Gaming.

If you want to start an ecommerce business, are you meant to build your own rather than using Amazon & Shopify?

It doesn't make sense to not participate on platforms. What does make sense is to consider what it means for your business. In certain extreme cases like YouTube or Apple's app store, it seems like some degree of regulation may be necessary to prevent the platforms from abusing their position.
It works in the other way. A closed source program can't rely on GPL code (without special permission) but a GPL program can rely on closed source code since you need permission from the closed source license anyway.

GPL just sets a base level of permission that you get, the rights owner is still free to grant any exemptions they want.
130 Comments, No one mention the suggestion of Dark Mode?

And if I could have a non-topic collapsed version of Mobile Site for use on Desktop would be great.
Not sure your logic holds.

If Google is so big that 0.00001% loss of revenue doesn't register for them, they are surely big enough to spare 0.00001% of total engineering time to fix that loss?

In fact, I hear that as a common complaint that when working as an engineer at Google most of the time you are just making some system fractions of a percent more efficient.

Just to be sure, I am not saying that either your premise or the statement you are inferring is wrong. No opinion on that. I'm just saying that your premises don't lead to the conclusion. (But your conclusion might be right for other reasons.)
In the same sense all chemicals have handling issues. In practice, it is basically solved.

That's probably due to them using a vulnerable alloy, and was likely exposed to hydrogen while at a high temperatures. This is nothing like a gas tank filled will hydrogen.
Nice simulation. It lacks an estimate of chance of total failure given maximum predicted spending.
Yeah, I'm sure that'll work out just like the Model 3 for $35,000... There was one strippo version of the Model 3 available (as special-order-only to severely limit the number sold) for what, maybe three or four months?
I've been using the opentelemetry package for C# to push tracing data to Honeycomb and it's really good. It takes a bit of learning but it's extremely powerful. Once you're over the hump it's very easy to quickly add new telemetry and its night and day difference to typical logs/metrics.
Either climate change is an existential threat to life on this planet or it's not, and if it is we should be willing to discard the OTC regulations for it.
Yeah its an interesting one. I tend to think of it in the context of, well you screwed up and deleted the wrong instance, but at least it wasn't that bad.

I also think about the response to it. Sure it sucked that it happened, and someone was probably feeling really bad about it. But it was a learning opportunity as well. Not just for them, or AWS, but for everyone in tech. Put those safety nets in place.
Blaming greedy landlords for the plight of restaurants ignores the larger problems that are bringing the entire city to its knees. Why is the subway bankrupt and with terrible service? The seeds of this were planted well before COVID. Once the restaurants close, the tourists don’t come, Broadway has no shows, and the entire system implodes, I don’t know how NYC will pick up the pieces except a vast restructuring towards pro-growth, low tax, low regulation, and strong emphasis on rebuilding without the shackles of the current government.
Exactly the same way you "verify" that they haven't kept printed copies / taken lots of photos of their computer screen / read things out loud to their lover on Saturday nights. That is, you don't. You set up legalese that lets you sue them in a way that hurts if they abuse that, or you go to real opsec where they're prevented from downloading/printing, and even only access data in a secure room where no cameras enter. As you have probably guessed, first option is typically the more realistic one.
opposite extreme: "'progress'- whatever the cost"... for some reason referred to as 'woke'? (still need to work on understanding that angle)

"replacing what works with what sounds good" --T.Sowell

offtopic rant, but on the subject of politics; to me it seems underhanded to pursue experimental federal programs eg for healthcare- why not demonstrate it works in a few test states.. wouldn't california love to pass something like that? if only there were a way to pass the buck to the federal government for the homeless...

not that the 'red team' political machine hasn't been pulling on the middle as well, claiming to be 'good guys' while corrupting for their own aims; what grinds my gears is either side claiming any kind of moral highground without referencing empirical positive impact
In Germany healthcare costs depend on your income. If you have no income (investment returns don't count against that), you can get monthly government payments to cover a moderate lifestyle. But if you have no labor income but sit on some non-negligable net worth, you don't qualify. That means FIRE is a lot more expensive, unless you (or your spouse) takes at least a part time job to get health care covered cheaply, which is actually not that uncommon.
Firefox engineers do literally the same jobs as their counterparts at Google. Indeed, most of my ex-colleagues and ex-execs have gone to Google, Facebook, and Apple. (in roughly that order) It's no secret that they appreciate the increased compensation, too!
Going by your original premise though, just so you know the reference does indeed have examples of text as strings e.g.

BT
/F13 12 Tf
288 720 Td
(ABC) Tj
ET

This can be extended to include spaces so you can essentially mark up entire lines of text at one time. What it can't do is cohesive paragraphs and flow/wrap, you need to use the relative positions to work out what text is in one block (and usually I'd defer to something like pdftotext for simple cases).

Laying out individual characters is common though. It's probably due to kerning concerns.
>The A380-F would be able to carry 60% more volume than the 747, but only 28% more weight

That sounds really short-sited on airbus. How could they not see having a plane double as a freighter would mean more sales?
Horror games in VR are way too much for me. I can't handle games like HL:A and the walking dead one. Its just too stressful. A shitty horror game on PC becomes terrifying in VR.
The 747 first flew in 1969, and is still planned to be in production until 2022.

Boeing _really_ used to do things right...
Just to be pedantic, we also recently got applicative-do. So you can use a subset of do-notation for the much more prevalent Applicative Functors, too.

In practice applicative functors are even more prevalent than their subset, monads.

If you can express your algorithm using the weaker applicative combinators only, there's more opportunity for optimisation and parallelism. (And the code is easier to understand for your readers, because there are fewer interactions for them to worry about, too.)
Kube is great. Abstracts away lots of problems. If you make a single kube cluster (which is trivial with eksctl) you can iterate on a number of startup ideas pretty quickly on it.

The kube API (the pod/deployment/service/ingress structure) is where the magic is, imho. Sure you could just make an EC2 instance, and swap in your Rails, and redirect the ALB and fix your domain CNAME, but whatever man, you can do like 4 of those things in an instant in Kube.
Skills can be gained. The bigger more of failure is a health reason preventing you from working most everywhere or in a huge chunk of work.

Calculate the summed rates of cancer, heart attack with complications, blindness, deafness and maiming accidents.

This makes stable FIRE risky, and the solution to limit exposure to these risks is to save even more, but invest a bit less, and ensure you get the illiquid assets needed for long term survival as early as you can.
That's a completely valid point. Investing always brings risk. Including the risk that you could be hit by a car tomorrow.
Here is a discussion: https://artofmemory.com/blog/first-place-second-place-5806.h....
This strategy will fail pretty badly if you're on someone else's computer using Windows or DOS, where 'del' is the delete command.
Gravitationally anyway.
Because it wouldn't mean more sales when it can only fly into a fraction of the worlds airports - the taxiways at most airports aren't strong or wide enough.

Volume isn't generally the constraint on air freight, anyway.
Are there procedures for a US president refusing to concede to a defeat?
Imo, government regulations is basically admitting defeat and trying desperately to mitigate a little harm while locking in a lot of it.

A regulator tends to lock the status quo into place, it's almost always incumbent friendly... like banking, casinos, tobacco, etc. Remember that Philip Morris benefits greatly from tobacco regulation.

What "good" would be is wrenching video out of YouTube's Kafkaesque hands.

Have we given up on decentralisation?
Personally (I would probably get shot by saying this) but responsive design is a real problem, it is not a feature, but its a bug - a horrible one.

By appeasing to many screen sizes, we create worse UI for all 3 sizes because no one really designs them for each size separately. Widths are in percentages, flex layout allos collapsable columns and the whole thing is not built from ground up. Either the designer starts with Desktop first and then mobile is a second thought (Bootstrap), or all class names are mobile first (Tachyons).

If we design UI from scratch for each of the 3 or 4 classes of screen sizes, it would be so much better. Completely, from scratch. Not taking the Desktop layout and collapsing the columns. But doing things like button sizes should be smaller for Desktop (mouse) and larger for mobile (finger). Not a single framework does this.
You Don't Have to Do Anything – Invincible Career
Then the article should talk more about getting a place to live, since you have to be rich to own one, and not having one is a major existential risk. Homelessness is way too common and vastly limiting. And the estate is a major investment. Easily matching or exceeding the FIRE target funds.
This truly will lead to the next generation of unicorns where engineering is combined with marketing to innovate entirely new business models from the to-be-realized latent synergies of the previously divergent disciplines.
The quality surveys and several owners I know would beg to differ. Tesla has had, and continues to have, horrendous quality issues. Don't get me wrong, Tesla does do some things well, and they're certainly not afraid to innovate, but they're anything but "excellent vehicles".

I don't know a single Model S owner that hasn't had the door handles fail. It's a $900 repair, unless you haggle with them for weeks ant threaten to sue them, at which point they'll agree to pay for it, because Tesla knows they don't work.

Oh, and a tire/wheel budget of $3000+ a year is pretty excessive, too. (On Teslas, both are notoriously unable to withstand potholes and dips that even other cars with low-profile tires can just drive over. All that battery weight is a really bad combo with low-profile tires and thin-cast wheels.)
Our current copyright laws do nothing hut stagnate human creativity. As much as people like to believe they're creative geniuses, most creations tend to be based on previous creations.

Just look at the majority of popular music between 1955-1980 or later. Just about all rock music is either heavily inspired by or directly ripped off of blues. If copyright laws had been what they were today entire genres of music wouldn't exist.

Same goes for Hollywood, tons of movies are just wholesale ripoffs of older ones or 'heavily inspired by them'.

And i'm sure people on HN are likely familiar with such things as the 7 main literary archetypes and whatnot that apply to most human story telling in general.

The best kind of human creativity comes from building on what came before. Sure, we need a system to ensure creators are paid and have control of their creations, but our current system goes so far overboard it limits overall human creativity.

Profit should not come over the benefit of society and humanity, especially when there's room for both. I doubt anyone was really losing any significant amount of money by this channel existing, but somebody was gaining through its existence.
And if someone hires you to migrate their database and ends up losing data in the process, they deserve what they get.
Agreed. I'm not having kids and trying not to get too down on the daily about the future of our species. Based on what I know about human nature I see almost no realistic way out of this without some sort of technological deus-ex-machina to come and save us.
I disagree. There is always a space for something bleeding edge. Your fatal flaw was not creating something "new" but the fact that you didn't actually build the product. A product that has no easy ability to integrate with a workflow is not a product, it's a proof of concept.
Remember YouTube and its staff will never make decisions on the validity of copyright claims. They put their safe harbor position at risk if they do so. Instead they consider every copyright claim as valid unless legal proceedings tell them otherwise.
I used to have a feeling on what words I would stutter, I still do, and accordingly pick a trajectory of words that would divert me from that particular word, which would sometimes comes a bit off, most of the time successful. Paradoxically I would scan what I would say in advance, and usually while talking would scan sentences that would come very soon in connection to the one I am speaking. If I notice there is a possible stutter word I would do what is possible to avoid that word, and think of a substitute. If I cannot find a word or the stutter word is coming very soon, I would prolong the current sentence or thought adding extra words or doing some non verbal gestures. After many years this practice became fluid.. I used to suffer much and wonder how my life would play out if I didnt suffer, I would imagine all kinds of scenarios that might have happened, situations where I stayed silent instead of speaking up. Sometimes I would notice people would get tired of listening to me or, more true, if I senses I had difficulty in talking I would not say what and how I really wanted to say.. I did learn to stay silent and listen to other people, I also became a musician and sometimes I wondered is it because of my stutter. Who knows, it has been interesting for sure..
Obviously it pays to brew my own but, I was getting at the actual utility derived from the experience.

Can you spend ~$1100 in one instance, at the end of every year, that produces the same total utility of pleasure you would have experienced from a daily latte? I'd probably drop the latte but, everyone is different. I would still argue that there are plenty of times when splurging is worth it in the long run.
I'm not seeing that in the actual proposed legal text (https://www.justice.gov/file/1319331/download), and I'm wondering if I'm overlooking it or this is just posturing that they weren't able to write up in a reasonable way.

The closest thing I see is subsection (d)(2), which says that the platform can be prosecuted (A) for a "specific instance of material or activity" (B) if it had "actual notice of that material's or activity's presence on the service," unless (C) they remove/block "the specific instance of material," report it to law enforcement, and "preserve evidence related to the material or activity for at least 1 year."

I believe the major commercial E2E platforms generally have the ability to notice specific hashes of known-bad material (think, e.g., child sexual abuse material) and block it / alert the platform through a client-side filter, which I think would make it pretty easy to comply with these requirements.

Alternatively, it would be enough, I think, to remove and ban the accounts involved.

The only difficult part is that you need to "preserve evidence," but my understanding is that this phrasing doesn't generally compel you to create evidence where none existed. Privacy-focused platforms have for years avoided keeping logs that they do not want to get turned over for the government, and it's generally much more onerous for the government to ask you to start keeping logs than to get mad at you for deleting/purging logs you already collected.

So I don't think this actually imposes any requirements on design, or gets in the way of E2E or non-logging platforms. If you are informed of specific illegal content, you need to take action. But if you operate the service in a way that you don't have "actual notice" or "evidence" of anything people send with it, I think that's still fine.

The other carve-outs don't seem to be relevant. (d)(4) might be if you look funny enough: it says the platform has to make itself able to receive notification of illegal content, and that a platform doesn't get immunity "if it designs or
operates its service to avoid receiving actual notice of Federal criminal material on its service or the ability to comply with the requirements under Subsection (d)(2)(C)." I suppose you could argue that not keeping logs means that you've designed your service in a way where you can't "preserve evidence," which would run afoul of this. But I don't think that's the right interpretation: if you're not creating unnecessary logs in the first place, if you keep the logs you do log for a year, you've preserved all the evidence that exists.

Am I being too optimistic here? (I do agree that the plaintext summary you quoted is very concerning.)
It says it's an early draft, and the lack of a coherent path in the Linear Algebra section (currently final section) plus only two sub-chapters makes me think it's under work atm.

I also have not a clue what I'm talking about with math (sub-highschool understanding) so I could be very mistaken about the path thing.
How much quicker are those cars going to get retired out quicker when resale prices start dropping and gas prices start increasing so gas stations can stay profitable?

There is a whole economy around keeping ICE vehicles on the road. Without a constant supply of new ICE cars that economy gets trashed.
Completely agreed. In addition:

Having popular interfaces like monad, applicative functors, monoids etc also suggests common ways to structure any API you are working on.

If you design an API from scratch and have to implement everything again and again, you might be tempted into a pretty arbitrary breakdown of the problem space.

Whereas in Haskell personal laziness drives you to look hard to see if you can express your API in terms of foldable and traversable or monads etc so that you get lots of functions for free.

Those common interfaces also automatically suggest gaps in your API that otherwise you would have only noticed after using your API for a while (or by being a very experienced programmer).
You can think of it as applying a mod operator after each operation.

Say we wanted to work with mod 5
Then 6 + 8 = 14 = 4 mod 5

You are probably being more precise about what he said than I was, but I think the two claims are roughly isomorphic, and also roughly equally incorrect. If I use someone's song in my advertisement I didn't "profit from selling their material," but it's still a commercial use and they will succeed if they sue me or take down my ad.

I am hoping Qnap will release a new NAS with new Atom. 2.5Gbps Ethernet, ZFS support from new OS.

Hopefully they update their design of NAS a bit so it doesn't look as bad.

I would be interested to know how much do these new Atom cost.

But now I need to sit down and think why Intel decide to use 10nm Super fin for Atom, a low margin product at this stage of the cycle. My guess would be yield is great, but that ignores Server Part and other 10nm roadmap.
No, definitely not. It'd be a contemplation of the guinea pig dilemma: should I be part of the first wave and get low-quality upgrade that is infinitely better than the current status but have my nerves chewed so badly that I might not be able to get the new generation of tech in five to ten years? or should I wait those years in a extremely unpleasant state but have a really high quality of life update later?
I'm very excited to see where this goes. To me it will kind of make or break the entire Blizzard debate, whether they fell apart because they failed to adaptto the times (my theory), or they actually were constrained so aggressively by short term cash-first behaviors that they sold their soul (I do not believe this).

If Dreamhaven creates successful, enjoyable games the answer will be clear.
