> Gay marriage is a divisive topic in the USA. A gay man talking about his wedding around the water cooler is political. A straight man talking about his wedding around the water cooler is not political.

Talking about one's wedding around the water cooler is not political, irrespective of the speaker's orientation OR the audience's opinions about gay marriage. Similarly, an argument in favoring or opposing gay marriage would be political irrespective of the speaker's sexuality or the audience's opinions. This seems perfectly straightforward to me. It seems like you're trying to make a problem where none exists.
And yet most big budgets games don't work on Linux, whereas most indie games, or from smaller companies do.
It's safer not to underestimate them. Every country has smart, competent people in it, no matter how poor or how oppressive their government. A cybersecurity / black hat program is much cheaper than nuclear or ballistic missile programs; and mostly just a matter of human resources and education. And North Korea can set up very strong rewards and incentives for those who do well. Put their whole family up in Pyongyang luxury apartments, etc.

They aren't competing with FAANG salaries, except maybe for a few outside experts that they might bring in to kick off a program.
I have a 3960X on Gigabyte Aorus Master with an RX480, 1080 Ti, X520 NIC, 3x SSDs, and my total-system idle on Linux is 180–210 W. I do agree that the high idle is frustrating, as it dumps a lot of heat into the room.
There are 4 levels of competence. For all the people who know they are incompetence and therefore abstain from voting there are a lot of people (possibly more) that don't know their incompetence and decide to vote regardless. If you're not voting because you're uninformed, you're probably much more informed than many of the people who are voting.
I (almost) replicated OpenAI's GPT-2 (124M)
Agreed - but their ‘tablets’ are really just windows machines without keyboards.

So this is really no different from the Mac.

We’ll also see how these rules are interpreted. A lot of issues with Apple is not the rules and principles themselves, but rather the interpretations.
TDP is about as meaningful on CPUs now as nm is in fab tech.

In practice the 3950x pulled up to ~225w running maxxed out avx2 workloads, ~300w if you overclocked it. The 3900x pulls up to ~190 watts at stock boosts. Both are called "105w TDP" parts.
I've found https://web.ground.news/ to be quite illuminating as far as gaslighting on both sides of the political aisle is concerned. Observation: liberal outlets are able to enforce complete suppression of even slightly unfavorable news (e.g. China censoring Pence's remarks on China during the VP debate). Conservative ones will often publish unfavorable news just to rile up the audience.
Why Is Bob Ross Still So Popular?
Eschewing Android for an actual Linux OS was the point. Alternative Android distros have been around a long time.

The link addresses one point about apps: "With the Librem 5 phone you are running a full-blown desktop computer in a mobile form factor. If you plug it into a keyboard, mouse, and monitor you will have PureOS and the many thousands of applications available as you would from any desktop computer. This means that we are starting with many thousands of applications that “just work” as a desktop application"

Besides web apps and dedicated apps, you can also just run anbox if you want something from F-Droid.
A desert is the opposite of a firework.
AVX512 is garbage. It incurs a massive performance hit from both frequency and mode-switching penalties. Apart from a few niche HPC and ML applications which you'll never encounter, AVX512's most compelling use cases are to drive Intel's shady market fragmentation, and to create more bullshit FP benchmarks that Intel can claim to win.

You have to give Doppler your secrets which is absolutely crazy. Is there a self hosted version?

How does it fair against Vault? Vault is self hosted and open source.

Does everyone in this thread know the founder or something? No one is asking these and they're in my view the absolutely most important questions.
This is true, but note that for a self-driving vehicle, utilization is only bounded by demand and maintenance. An Uber driver can get tired or busy with other things, but a self-driving car can go 24 hours a day minus re-fueling/charging.
Only if you think "Master of Business Administration" and "Chef" convey equal amounts of business administration skill. The exective board page linked above is 22 people, even if all of them held MBAs could it really be that 22 expert business administrators is too many for a global company with 350,000 employees?
There is nothing in the problem statement that should reasonably lead you to believe there are any tricks at play. The fact that you could come up with some chicanery that the host might pull which isn't explicitly disallowed doesn't make the original problem flawed in any way.

I bet you could take any problem of similar nature from anywhere and scrutinize hard enough and find some gimmick that lets you claim similar claims about it, but I don't think that's useful or noteworthy.

At the end of the day we all rely on common sense and common assumptions about these kinds of things. It may be true that some don't have the same shared experience to draw upon and lead them to the same understanding as others, but that doesn't make the problem flawed. It just means people understand things differently.

If a significant number of people brought up this issue then my opinion might change, but as I said, this is the only time I've heard of this particular complaint (and I've been enjoying posing this problem to people for decades now), and that means, in my opinion, there is no grounds to claim your misunderstanding as some objective flaw in the wording or presentation of the problem.
The power of the web is that it’s accessible from ANY platform and there’s already an app to use it which comes preloaded with whichever platform you’re in: the browser.

That said, native app performance is still unmatched (but not by a long shot!) the react-native project (both by FB and MSFT) looks promising.

It's copyright, not copywrite

ResEdit was my gateway to reverse engineering, at age maybe 13 or so. I first used it to change icons, add keyboard shortcuts to menu items, and so on. This taught me that the internals of software applications weren't just magic but actually were reducible to the 1's and 0's they were made of.

I didn't know how to extend this discovery to the actual behavior of applications until I encountered an upgrade named "Super ResEdit" which provided a disassembly tool.

That showed a mysterious pair of columns with words like "ADD" and "MUL" and "BRA" and "BEQ" and so on in the first column, with some hex in the second column. What do those things mean? Hmm, if I hover over "BRA" and "BEQ" I get a little arrow pointing to a different line, and "BEQ" always follows a line like "CMP"... aha, "BRA" means "branch" and "CMP" means "compare" and "BEQ" means "branch if equal".

And the second column is some hex numbers which are always corresponding in the same way to the first column. If I change the second column, the first column changes to match!

And that's how child-me learned to search for "check_registration_code" and change the "BEQ" at the end to "BRA".
I could easily see it being worthwhile for days/weeks/months for search-fraud detection.
https may hurt more than it helps in this case. One well crafted email asking for help to debug a script on github is all it takes to get sudo on up to 10% of the laptops in a company. Developers are just too darn helpful. :-) Unless you enforce full tunnel vpns on all laptops and force all outbound connections through MITM proxies, there is really no way to stop this. Anti-malware and anti-virus software will rarely detect a malicious python, ruby, perl, bash script and simply connects outbound and downloads / executes a payload. Even DNS can be used to fetch the payload.

If you are a startup with limited resources, keep things as simple as you can. Back up your code, artifacts and customer data somewhere that automation and malware can not tamper with it. Encrypt your customer backups. Challenge your staff to automate patching of your endpoints, your servers, your virtual machine images, etc... Challenge them to create build systems that produce lean, fully patched images with software that only comes from trusted sources. Images for laptops, images you run in dev, images you run in production. Have a manifest of every piece of software, every library, every snippet of code your teams utilize. This will be helpful down the road when you have grown and your legal team want to do a software license review. If using AWS, set up automation to audit and report on public S3 buckets.
This is such an insulting excuse.

Ironically, this is almost the exact same attitude I got in my poor experience interviewing with Stripe. Interviewers were constantly late to our calls and mixed up who would be interviewing me more than once. Despite that, I still was told I was going to receive an offer... only to be ghosted for weeks. Once the recruiter finally reached back out, they said the position had been cancelled but they would find me another position. Spoiler: I never heard back from them, and they ignored all of my further communications.

Throughout all of this, I was apologized to several times (credit is due there, I guess) and each time the excuse was "ha ha sorry things are such a mess, that's just how things are when you work at a start up!" First of all, "haha we're a startup" is not a valid excuse for being late to meetings and ignoring communication.

Second: you're a company worth tens of billions of dollars, have thousands of employees in offices around the globe, and were founded a decade ago. You are not a startup. You are not a "small team". Stop using it as an excuse.
> An API, despite looking like works, is not a literary expression of a process, it is a machine

If this argument is valid, it means that APIs are not copyrightable, they are patentable, because copyright is only for expressions of ideas, not for machines; patents are what apply to machines. And Oracle has already lost on the question of patent infringement in this case (back in 2015, IIRC).
Militias come baked into the Second Amendment. The concept is that militias are necessary for the defense of a free state - and the defense of the people from the state. Bear in mind that the US Constitution was written two hundred years ago and the US didn't even have a standing army, and the Second Amendment's primary purpose was to prevent the need for one.

This has led to a cultural belief within the US that the government's fear of its own armed populace is the only thing keeping it from degenerating into tyranny, and the establishment of the "militia patriot" as something of a romantic folk hero like the cowboys of the Wild West.
In all fairness to the Author, people make up excuses for their behavior to justify it.

I coded a version of SA for TSP in the early 90s. I iterated until the probability of a hardware error was greater than having a sub-optimal solution. It took just a couple of seconds, and that speed was due to visually displaying the algorithm as it executed.
In the video they said they increased branch prediction quite a bit, so I imagine it has more to do with this than it does with latency.
Almost but not quite completely off topic: a very low budget sci-fi film was released last year or so with the unfortunately overloaded name "Cosmos"[1] - the protagonists are doing radio astronomy from the back of their Volvo. I really enjoyed the movie - it just enough science explainers so people unfamiliar wouldn't get lost, but it wasn't dumbed down.

This was a side project of a few people that had previously been making documentaries for NASA, and you could feel that "swelling music new frontiers and science" vibe you might from a decent documentary.

This was one of my favorite tools to use in junior high. I was a smartass and changed the menubars and dialog boxes to indicate there was a virus on the machine. I got a stern talking to from the principal and undid all of it.
I would say standing against injustice is not political. But there comes a point where in order for change to occur and prevent future injustices, the stand must become a walk (to keep the metaphor). Some will say it should be a jog, others a sprint, some will think continued standing is fine. And that's just discussing the pace. There will be ideas and opinions on route, and whether or not to stop for breaks, and whether water should be supplied, or what impact people walking will have on the roads, the list goes on. I think when the time comes to give direction or motion to a stand against injustice, it then becomes political. It's not bad that it becomes political, it's the natural course of change in society, but it does mean that some of the unity derived from standing must be sacrificed, as people choose the mechanism for change they support. The key is to sacrifice as little of the unity as possible.
We tried; it didn't work. Reason being that there are anti-pattern behaviors built into the parent/child relationship. It's very challenging for both the child and the parent to shift from a kind/loving/on-your-team relationship to a mentoring/structured/pay-attention relationship that is more in line with teaching.

Some people can do it. We could not.
>When I didn't get my PC, and eBay told me to fuck off

I don't believe you for a second. eBay is like the most pro-buyer place in the universe. eBay would be able to reverse all of that no problem.

So if you aren't just making this up- then you must not have done anything properly to try and resolve it.
In theory these new CPUs should give around a 20-25% fps increase as long as you're not bottle necking your cpu with an under powered graphics card.
it brings massive overhead, complexity and time investment in designing and maintaining the infrastructure and the entire build pipeline. instead of working on your business logic/product, you will spend a ton of time on cloud stuff(I wasted an ENTIRE year on this once). it will steer you into wrong direction, technologically. keep in mind that sales and PR people push cloud on you most of the time, not real devs and successful people. not to mention that it is crazy expensive + expenses cannot be precisely known in advance. it's a guessing game. bare metal is king and the argument of maintaining it yourself falls apart when you calculate some basic pricing and find out that after 4 months in cloud you get to own the hardware itself and the money yo usave can pay for multiple sysadmins if you want to.
It was largely a fashion trend among executives as well as a fear of being singled out as being not onboard with BLM. It's better to be with the crowd, at least you are immune to specific criticism.

We saw a similar fashion trend in company cancellations of Facebook ads, multiple companies cancelled their ads for a short duration at the same time (each cancellation catalyzing the next) and we've heard nothing about that since.

I find it quite interesting honestly.

There are also studies that show otherwise. Depends on who's funding the study and what data sources are being used. In the end, politicians will pick the ones that keep them in power. Talk to anyone who has worked in Washington for any length of time and they'll tell you the same. Hell, a first year poli-sci student in college can tell you that.
What do numbers look like?
Also because Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, Visual Studio Code and Slack don't have an FPS meter, and you rarely notice a few dropped frames, compared to games were you can easily tell performance differences.
This comment doesn't make much sense to me. I'm not sure if you're talking about political stances that are meaningfully related to the company's mission, and in either case how that would affect governments' willingness to regulate those companies. Are you simply arguing that governments would be more willing to regulate Google if Google didn't spend so much lobbying against regulation? In that case, obviously (this is pretty much tautologically true), but how does that relate to what we're discussing? If we're talking about political stances like "police shootings are unjustly biased against black people", then that's about as unrelated to Google's mission as one could imagine. It seems like mental gymnastics either way.
I run a popular website and people find me on various social media accounts. People usually ask questions or give feedback.

I cannot reply to all of them right away. I may be able to reply nightly with a major reduction in productivity.

Ask HN: Does Data Science and/or AI/ML role require on-call rotations?
I'm in my early 30's, and I have around 8+ of software engineering experience in multiple technologies. I love what I do, I'm proud of my achievements and would still like to stay in the technical career path for at least 10 more years. And yet, here I am again, in the job-seeking game. Multiple reasons and not related to the story.

There is only one thing that I cannot stand with passion and is this industry trend of requiring on-call rotations. Maybe this was common in the SysOps world but at this point, almost all Dev job posts are requiring it. Even product-based roles are asking for it.

I already had tried on-calls on different teams, with the expectations that things would be better. But I cannot stand the anxiety, the sleep deprivation, the high amounts of stress, and the expectations that after the incident, I still need to fulfill my development duties the next day as nothing has happened. I'm always too tired and is difficult to concentrate, study, or try to improve careerwise. This affects my social life and I can't continue this way.

I had been thinking of doing a career shift to data science and/or machine learning. So the question for those of you in the field is, does data science or AI/ML require on-call rotations? What career advice do you suggest? I want to be sure that I'm choosing the right path before starting graduate studies.

Care to do it here for me then?

Basically, you are proposing what? That I have a server that renders this table, pre-populated with onClick handlers that magically know what function to call to tell my browser state that it should focus a specific workflow?

Or are you suggesting that I reload the entire application to use "pure HTML interactions"?

I really want to understand - how are you making this construct both not fragile to iterate on AND not require a page reload or server round-trip after the user clicks on a Table row.
Thanks for the quick response. I think this should really be explicitly stated in the docs, along with a link to VGS. The diagram didn't make it obvious to me that the "security provider" block is actually storing the secrets, rather than just converting them into tokens.
> Eschewing Android for an actual Linux OS was the point. Alternative Android distros have been around a long time.

Correct, but we have Android _distros_ not phones that support them well.

We need to get some expensive phone from a supported list, unlock it (losing warranty in the process) and flash the distro. Not a thing we can say to even technical users who are not really inclined to HW hacking. To say nothing about the non-technical people who are the ones more vulnerable to the current mobile environment.

Of course I wouldn't have an issue (ignoring for the moment that you're apparently conflating me with coinbase), because this isn't a political statement.

This is a pretty obvious straw man argument.
I can only offer anecdata, but I built a Ryzen 3600 based desktop earlier in the year.

Initially I used the stock cooler, but it idled at ~45C, and the moment I did anything approaching a load it immediately shot to 90C. This was in a room with ambient at around 23C.

After getting annoyed for a while I swapped for an AIO Liquid cooler and hey-presto it now idles at 30C and when maxed out - 75C.
