@dang can I make a suggestion? On threads with high comment counts, put numerical pagination links at the very top of the comments. Otherwise to see the next pages of comments I have to scroll to the bottom, click "more", scroll to the bottom again, click "more" again... If I could just click a little "1", "2", "3", etc. to jump straight to second and third page top level comments, I think it would help improve visibility of those other top level comments.

In the late 90s we bought two laserjet 8000 printers that were still in use when I left the company in 2014. Outside of the regular service schedule they never required maintenance.

Programming teaches to check own believes, program executes as defined.

To me this is more of an argument against. Although Python was my first language, I've had my share of burnouts because of its lack of types and difficulties in refactoring big code-bases.
Why do higher-precision floating point formats have so many exponent bits?
The article directly suggests altering teaching strategies to favor/accommodate boys that I believe will be at the expense of girls:

* Lessons that are structured as competitive games.

* Lessons requiring motor activity.

* Lessons that require a combination of competition and teamwork.

So, I guess I don't really see these as separate issues.

I think it is also important to state that men don't just dominate leadership positions, we also typically dominate compensation as well and I'm not talking about equal pay in the context of women and men in different jobs. For example, men are the highest paid teachers and professors despite the reduced participation by men in higher ed.

So my opinion remains that men do perfectly well with traditional instruction and we don't need to make adjustments to it to favor them, particularly not the types of adjustments that would disadvantage women.

Again, my point isn't that there are no Democratic Facebook execs, it's that they play both sides. To whit:

> Indeed, the three top leaders of Facebook's DC office all have extensive backgrounds in Republican politics: Vice President for Global Public Policy Joel Kaplan; Vice President for U.S. Public Policy Kevin Martin; and Public Policy Director for Global Elections Katie Harbath.

That article also outlines a number of right-wing friendly moves that Facebook has made in recent years, just as a counterpoint to the example being discussed here.

I agree with you that the vast majority of staff at these tech companies are Democrats, but I'm talking about the top-level execs. And once you reach that level you see the top tech companies play both sides of the political aisle as best they can.
This looks pretty interesting both for some projects at work and for my homelab. I'm a data scientist with an amateur interest in devops so apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm trying to get a sense of the use cases.

Would it make sense to use boundary as a way to manage access to web-based developer environments using an IDP for authentication (e.g. Github, Google, Okta, etc). I'm thinking of tools like JupyterLab/Hub, RStudio Server, etc. Or is that outside the intended scope of Boundary?
Ask HN: How to build something like Dropbox
I have an idea that would benefit from a file sync functionality similar to Dropbox/Box/etc. Sync is important for this idea to work, but also seems like a solved problem, so I would prefer to not have to implement it myself. However I don’t think there are APIs provided by these services that let you sync to your own backend. Dropbox deprecated their sync API a few years ago, presumably because it gave away their core functionality.

Some options that I see so far:
- Use Dropbox API webhooks to be notified of file changes, then do the syncing logic myself (using s3 for persistence and postgres for file metadata)
- Write my own custom sync logic for all platforms that I want to support
- Try to shoe horn an open source sync lib onto the platforms I want to support. Eg Syncthing is written in Go which could theoretically get running in iOS

For option 1 my concern is that I still have to write plenty of sync logic server side, why not go the extra step and implement the client(s). I am also beholden your the API in a few ways: 1) They could end their service, 2) All my users have to have an account with them, 3) My cache of files is a bit of a 3rd class citizen as it will be last to get change notifications.

My concern with option two (write it myself) is simply that it’s a lot of work. Although it would be fun work to do, it’s still a distraction from everything else core to my service.

Option 3 seems doable but potentially a misadventure of working against the grain of the library (assuming I can find one to rework to my needs)

My old HP 55 calculator is still looking like new, after what, nearly 50 years? They must have changed the case plastic at some point, for calculators after that one.
In the 80s there was DIY 2D plotter Alfi [1] for ZX Spectrum. I had and used one. This year, i visited my friends trying to run current DIY 3D printer, and funny thing is that it was plagued by similar isses like the 2D plotter several decades before.

FWIW I think there is a major breakdown of The West underway that begun when China effectively ripped Western ideology apart after the end of the cold war. The Western ideology after WW2 was that liberal markets (eventually) implied (rise of) a democracy with civil liberties. China showed that this ideology is false by creating liberal-enough markets while retaining absolute state control (and the Chinese state has vastly concentrated its power, and the power within the Chinese state has been vastly concentrated as well, to the point of it effectively being a Fuhrerstate). Meanwhile The East has shown that so-called illiberal democracies can be widely accepted by the people. And the US are currently testing the hypothesis whether free speech is survivable for a democratic society in the presence of so-called social media. I strongly suspect these are going to be the sucker-punch for The West in combination with Covid-related economic crises. It is likely the liberal era is going to end within this decade.
Is This Open Source?

I am intrigued by the support for the 28S these days. I still have my 28S (with working battery door) from when I was at University. But, while I was impressed by it's potential, I never loved it as a device to use and I've stuck with my older FX-7000G as the calculator on my desk.

As explained here (edit - not my site, but I agree with the POV):
http://www.ganjatron.net/retrocomputing/hp-28s/index.html

"I must say I have mixed feelings about this calculator. All this sophistication comes at the expense of ease of use. I find the HP-28S aggravatingly clumsy to use, and it's not because of RPN. For starters, the clamshell design, while ideal protection, is awkward -- you'll find yourself constantly flipping back and forth because keys on both sides are frequently used in typical operation.

Another major problem is that the HP-28 is, for the most part, not keystroke programmable; most commands are indirectly accessible through menus (over 20 of them)."

Not having the ability to import from exteral storage (the IR link is out-only) is also a big minus.
It would be more interesting to see these things in multiple languages so it shows how it would be done (best) in those. Learning things js centered is is not good for everyone.
2-d printing is mature, I think everyone has high standards.

When it comes to 3-d printing I see two attitudes around me:

(1) People who are involved with "making" from a blue collar standpoint think that "3-d printing is cool but the quality of the product is subpar"
(2) People around the engineering department at my local Uni who 3-d print everything they can

A lot of the 3-d printing market targets type (1) and enthusiasts. If those enthusiasts were inkjet enthusiasts they wouldn't mind getting prints spoiled with an ink explosion 5% of the time.
Various tweets from affected people, including screenshots, were all over last night. This isn't new, though. When Twitter blocks a URL, it applies even to DMs.
Who Makes More Money
It's not the main source of revenue, but for personal printing most of the money comes from selling ink cartridges. My dad used to work for a printer company and he said that on personal printer sales they usually broke even or sometimes sold at a loss. But all of that was made up with the profit margin on ink cartridge sales.
The YouTube suggestion algorithm is the problem! Create a new account, watch any political video, and then click through the suggestions. Keep clicking through the suggestions and in hour you will be on some extremist nonsense.

YouTube is the source of this problem, and their solution is censorship? It's ridiculous. Show people the videos they have subscribed or searched for, and that's it. The majority of people don't search out extremist content, they find it through suggestions and related videos.

Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube (Google) are the ones who have created these problems. They profit from this crap when people mindlessly flick through the suggestions. They profit when tweets, FB posts, or videos generate discussion and clicks. They profit when bots post content that actual humans click on and discuss. They have created these problems to pad their pockets. And now their "solution" to it is mass censorship.

What an outrage. These companies need to be absolutely shattered into tiny little pieces.
I'm with Junon. I don't get why I'd want _REDIS_ to be remote, then i loose all the speed benefits of redis. Also i don't get why i need my redis cluster to scale. The only case where that seems like a need is if I'm caching global variables which is widely frowned upon. Everything else, there are caching + eviction strategies to handle this. If i've got massive traffic such that my redis cache is constantly churning (and thus not providing value) then couldn't i just spin up more redises? redi? along with all the new machines i'm surely needing to spin up. If my engineers are being paged to spin up more redis instances (or aNYTHING) then they've failed in their autoscaling configurations, and it's good they got called, and hopefully they'll rethink their architecture and scripts so that they never get called again.

I'm not a devops guy so maybe i'm missing something obvious. On the other hand, I'm not a devops guy and I'm not _seeing_ an "obvious" win here. Either it actually doesn't meet my needs or I'm ignorant about something and the marketing isn't meeting my needs.

Side note: not a devops guy but my team has hundreds of AWS machines and lots of redis usage.
Because the rest of us aren’t given the option to pay for it. “But it’s free” is a ridiculous argument when there’s no paid alternative.

What about a "docker secure" command which updates the configuration to a more secure default?

This also raises the possibility of different security profiles like dev, prod, etc.

A default Docker install would be documented as being for development, and you run "docker secure" to change that for other environments.
Banning all practitioners of science who disagree with the current state of science is not how science works.

The jury is a little out on the utility of allowing unpedigreed randos to pontificate on the nature of the science with the same amount of volume and podium-authority as qualified, practicing scientists with years of experience. Academia certainly doesn't consider them the same; we don't allow any random undergraduate to walk up to the podium and kick the lecturing professor off the stage so that they can have 5 minutes to explain how etheric currents are actually what makes lightning work.

We aren't, practically speaking, seeing a lot of evidence that the public can tell the difference right now. This is a problem.

> Well in her case, she knew the gun wouldn't fire. It turned out the firing pin was assembled backwards for it to be used in a play. (The police took apart the gun and put to back together to charge her; it's in the evidence documents)

Along with never pointing your gun at something you don't want to destroy, you always assume a gun is loaded. That's not just a gun you pickup, that's any gun anywhere. If someone else is holding it then it's loaded too.

> In fact, nothing they did was criminal. They were in a gated neighborhood, people ripped the iron gate down, and I think it's clear they were reasonably defending their homes.

Bullshit. Brandishing is a crime in pretty much every US state and Canadian province. There are affirmative defenses to Brandishing, like real physical threats to life or property, but that gate was community property and not theirs alone.

I could see them getting out of the charges and having enough reasonable doubt to do so. Right now it's being leveraged as a kulturekamf headline to make 2nd Amendment nuts get angry.

But make no mistake, if you point a real gun at people, with a finger on the trigger, you're implying you're going to kill someone. You'd better have a damned good reason for it, and be ready to stand to any consequences; "judged by a jury instead of by St. Peter", etc.
I remember it well. All of us computer hackers back in the late 1970s did something like that with a bunch of solenoids. It worked, but you got about 12 cps on a good day, and only constant width fonts. Also, if one of your solenoids was a bit sluggish it would throw off the registration of some of the characters. The advent of daisy wheel technology killed off the Selectric printers. Remember daisy wheels, especially the early metal ones??

OTOH hacking an IBM Executive might have been something. Proportional spacing!! (but a much fiddlier mechanism)
Companies who go permanent WFH must be saving a fortune on leasing space costs. If these savings don’t make it to the employees who’re using their private space for office work for free, then it’s really bad.
Considering my family actually buys extra chargers, cables, and earpods, I also don't buy their env argument at all. Perhaps if you buy phones each year that'd be true, but then, you are having a much bigger impact by buying the extra phones and the accessories are marginal. Anyways, they could just say that they'd give one away for free to anyone who wanted it with their phone purchase.

Two factors. First of all men's and women's gymnastics have some different events and different judging criteria for the events they have in common. On the whole the men's events and scoring criteria require more core and upper body strength to pull off successfully.

Secondly while the strength to weight ratio of women might peak at 15-18, in men it keeps increasing into their mid-late 20s. In general, the strength difference between a 15 and 25 year old man is much much greater than that between a 15 and 25 year old woman. Basically a 20-25 year old man can pull off feats of strength that a 15-16 year old simply can't. The same isn't really true for women (again in general).
Show HN: Woogles.io – A Word Game Platform
Hi all, we just released woogles.io at 10:15 EDT this morning. Made with love by a passionate group of word gamers, and it is free for all. The app is open source; code can be found at https://github.com/domino14/liwords

The app was inspired by lichess and the fact that we can't play live word games during this pandemic. We hope to host prestigious tournaments in the near future.

One of our eventual goals is to revolutionize AI for the game of Scrabble and other crossword games. Our current state of the art AI (Quackle) is roughly as good as the best players in the world, but I think we could do better than that. This started as an AI research project but we decided to expand it into a word game platform. We have a data scientist on the team who has good ideas for applying ML to the game of Scrabble, and we will focus on that in the coming months.

Check it out and let us know what you think!
There might be something like a civil war, but it won't look anything at all like the last one. Don't look for two armies marching on fields against each other. Do look for dozens of shadowy groups practicing guerilla warfare against each other and the state, with actions gradually escalating in intensity.

You can make a pretty decent argument that this is already happening.

Wrong - 1st Ammendment was already ruled to cover algorithims in cryptography export cases. You're trying to rationalize what you already feel is the truth.

The definition of harmful content is already a tautology which belies horrifying implications because it puts agency of the reaction soley upon the "speech". It would mean that in Aparthiad contexts an interracial handshake would be responsible for a riot.
Microsoft Teams brings its own potential problems, of course, but faxes are pretty insecure, both because of the transfer medium (they're typically unencrypted and easy to tap) and because they inherently involve making paper copies of sensitive data that should never be put on paper in the first place.

If this topic turns out to be the start of a FOSS, I'll join as a (senior) design engineer.

Find one that doesn't have a patent and reverse engineer it.

I imagine the first/original control system was extremely difficult to develop. But since the technology already exists you can reverse engineer it.

After that, you pay a supplier to make parts. In my experience, these suppliers will end up redesigning to match better with their process, but still meets critical specifications.

I'd post my contact info, but I believe I'm targeted by an HN mod.

Your analysis seems on point to me even from someone who doesn't really use the services. YouTube definitely doesn't promote conversation of any kind. It's a platform for consumption with essentially no standards applied to what's on it (contrasted with TV which has at least some bar). I can't speak on Facebook, but Twitter is also lacking in conversationality. Replies are limited in length and the way they're displayed means that you have to go out of your way to see replies to replies. So, that's why both YouTube and Twitter are closer to "selfish media"
Also in the US, apparently. A company I used to work for didn't have a fax machine until we opened a US office; then suddenly we needed one, as a lot of paperwork had to be faxed. This was about 10 years ago, I suppose; maybe it's better now.

> The video platform said it would now ban any content with claims about COVID-19 vaccines that contradict consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization.

Has this hypothetical scenario ever happened historically:

- Current scientific consensus is wrong

- Scientist with dissenting theory is right

- Consensus eventually changes to align with dissenting theory as evidence mounts for it

I'm inclined to think it has happened many times in history, and will happen many times in the future. And if so, doesn't that mean we could get into a situation where step 3 (consensus realigning) doesn't happen because the truth is actively suppressed by every major speech platform?
If the billionaire controllers of the tech giants (advertising based services!) aren't doing it, they are simply delegating this to other billionaires who are paying the bills. Like it's often said, 'if you're not paying for it you are the product'. Social media consumers are the target, not the ones directing the narrative.

In the absence of the tech giants choosing what's permissible, you get different other billionaires who can define a benefit to pushing a 'you should drink bleach and overthrow the government' narrative, because THEY are not the 'you' referred to, plus it ain't their government.

Acting like that's an organic social narrative is malpractice.

You are suggesting that we curtail 1st Amendment rights in order to save social media platforms. I would argue instead that social media platforms have been facing the abyss for some time and cannot be saved. New censors beget new methods of exploitation and platforms literally adding new continents of users will only add to the noise. Let’s not fall into the trap of throwing away our guaranteed rights for short term convenience. Instead let’s consider that social media is not a source of truth going forward and adjust accordingly.
