US Veterans Day 11/11: WWII journalists
For those in the US, November 11th is Veterans Day, a national holiday.

One way to remember those who served, and the many who died, is to read the writings of journalists embedded with the troops during WWII. The writing is crisp and modern and content-rich. Not a pundit or talking head in the bunch...

The best of the lot was Ernie Pyle. His columns were put together in four books: Ernie Pyle in England (he was a well-known feature columnist before WWII), This Is Your War, Brave Men, and
Last Chapter (he died from a sniper bullet in Asia just before the war ended).

Bill Mauldin was better known as a combat sketch artist and editorial cartoonist. His collection of sketches and text, Up Front, is well worth a read. His book Back Home gives a flavor of what the returning WWII vet faced.

A chapter from any one of these books is more real and vivid than any movie or history. They are written by men who knew all too well that anything they wrote could be their last words. There’s an honesty and directness that reminds you what good journalism can be.
This is the first time I've seen YouTube go down like this.
Yup down for me too
How fun - same goes with the previews on hover over timestamps then, I guess?
If it's so much better to build n smaller plants instead of one bigger it would still be much better to build them all in one location instead of distributed over n locations. Electricity transmission over long distances is not free, but it's surely not so expensive/inefficient that you need those plants to be distributed over 16 independent sites for the UK. All those claimed learning benefits also apply to operation/maintenance and benefits of experience will transmit much better inside of a big facility than from one site to another. You only need to make sure that you don't take advantage of economies of scale that should better not be taken advantage of.
I guess you’re a few years amiss w.r.t. that tv (or do I interpret that 48 hours wrong?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_set#LCD_television says “By 1982, pocket LCD TVs based on AM LCD technology were developed in Japan”, so if we’re talking before the Osborne, it must have been a CRT. I don’t see you power that with 9 D batteries for two days.

Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_battery#Dimensions_and_capac..., 9 D batteries is, at best, 250Wh. So, running for 48 hours would give you a power envelope of about 5W. NiCd batteries decreases that to 63Wh, or to 1½W. Can that power a CRT tv?

Also, reading http://michaeljmahon.com/AppleCrateII.html, even an Apple ][ board with empty slots takes 4.2W. For an 8008, you probably can get lower power usage, but who would be willing to sacrifice computer power for portability?
Most likely. Any small file comes from a different CDN than the video.
What's striking in this thread is the equation of masculine toughness with unhealthy things like getting in bar fights and doing drugs. Reading the report, men think their sons are less tough than their daughters.

Putting these two together suggests that the way we define toughness for men in anti-social ways may be the problem. Perhaps we need to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy ways of building toughness, and seek healthy ways for men/boys to build toughness. As one example, I (a man) have never been in a fight, but I have found that challenging myself physically, and going camping have built toughness for me. Neither of those things required me to hurt myself or other people. There is something deeply toxic to me about a definition of toughness that requires men to hurt others, or to hurt themselves.
I am no expert so it is entirely possible I am making a mistake with my conversions, but here is my math:

87 kWh = 5 hours per day * 365 days

87000 Wh = 1825 hours

87000 Wh / 1825 h = 47.7 W

47.7 W * 24 hours per day * 365 days = 418 kWh

418 kWh * $0.22 per kWh = $92
Hmm, if only there wasn't a single monolithic corporation that hosted so much of the Internet's video content.
Focus on getting a solid BTD (build test debug) loop first. It doesn't have to be fast (especially for infra), but it does have to be deterministic. Try to start small. What's the smallest TF file? What does TF really do? (Another poster mentioned sending commands to AWS).

You could also not do infrastructure if you don't like it!

Hey! Config.ly Co-founder here. I agree that utilizing a database/S3 or rolling your own lightweight version is a big competitor to Configly. I'm not sure if you saw it, but I tried to highlight some of the reasons we think Config.ly is more effective over a DB for certain usage patterns in the intro note [1]

> Databases can do this but often aren’t used that way for good reasons (they can be cumbersome to wire-up, there are scale concerns about adding extra load to your DB, it’s risky to touch a production database, etc).

I can think of other benefits; you generally don't want really anyone touching your prod DB directly -- but _especially_ non engineers. So what if they want to update copy? You could build or leverage a web UI... but now you're going down the path of building Config.ly. You also don't get version history for free with most databases. And once a value is in the database, you also need to worry about the middle layer of getting that value to your clients and having your clients fetch it intelligently/caching, etc.

> I'll never understand the fantasies about armed bands roaming the suburbs.

I wonder how much of it is rooted in racism and irrational fear of "urban gangs". Where I am in europe it seems like the extreme right likes to entertain societal collapse fantasies using the suburban immigrant delinquents as threir main focus point. No idea how that translates in the US though
The back button was something I missed when I went to an iPhone 6S in 2015. Apple had back arrows near the top of the screen, which I could not reach with a thumb and one hand. Annoying.

Was wondering so looked up how much YouTube lost per second.

> YouTube ads generated $15.15 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2019.

So plugged into wolfram alpha:

They lose about $480 per second or $1.7MM per hour. Yikes.

As a society we should provide incentives for things we would like to see more of, and disincentives for things we would like to see less of.

Working from home is good for the environment, good for work/life balance, good in that it spreads demand for housing over a wider area, thus leading to lower housing costs.

Why would we want to tax this?

Sorry, I wasn't clear. PhotoSync copies the photos from your device to some destination (NAS, SMB, S3, whatever.) It doesn't interact with Google Photos. When it copies stuff it copies the original HEIC/JPEG/RAW/whatever, so the GPS EXIF is preserved.
I was responding to a comment about “ruining everything good with taxation”.
The use of the term “callback” makes it seem like the code that the task runs is in the same codebase/process as the one that scheduled the task, but these are distributed processes across many machines - so how does the “CreateTask” RPC caller specify what code to run in the task?

edit: seems like it is up to the callback owners/authors to deploy and run their own task workers, which presumably implements the individual task logic:

The design is very intentional in driving an ownership model where lambda owners own all aspects of their lambdas’ operations. To promote this, all lambda worker clusters are owned by the lambda owners. They have full control over operations on these clusters, including code deployments and capacity management. Each executor process is bound to one lambda
It happened a few months back. I remember another HN thread on it.

Again, why are you using 5 hours per day? When used as a photo frame, this is going to be on for a lot more than that. The pathological case here is it's on for 24 hours per day, not merely 5.

Limiting Workers to only be able to talk to servers that had "opted in" would be too limiting. Lots of people use Workers to talk to third-party APIs. And, many people are building whole applications entirely on Workers, with no origin server at all.

> Isn't this a family thing?

Is fighting back when you are assaulted a family thing?

Schools simply DO NOT take bullying seriously. Does my son deserve to be expelled because your son decided to physically bully my child, and my son punched him a couple of times for it?

My position as the adult is "Fighting is not a good thing. You can get seriously hurt. You're going to get punished for it regardless of whether you deserve it. So there had best be physical damage at stake before you start fighting. Words and name calling are insufficient."

However, zero tolerance policies are stupid. I would have been expelled on them as a child.

I was an honor student and "geek" so the "undesirables" thought they had carte blanche to pick on the "geek" group--including me (Schools do nothing about bullying, remember?) Even though I was over 6 foot and lettered in sports, I was the "brain".

About once a year, one of the idiots would take my walking away as cowardice, corner me and would actually physically assault me, and that would be my signal that it was time to clean his clock to stay safe. And I would have an in-school detention for three days (which was annoying as I had homework for three days and the dipshit just slept).

This is a reasonable response as long as nobody got seriously injured. As the geek, it's annoying, but you don't want to incentivize fighting even when it's justified. And you certainly don't want to incentivize taking the fight to real, permanent damage.

HOWEVER, the school allowing the situation to reach that point is the failure. It's not like the school didn't know who the troublemakers were and what they were doing. When you have teachers quietly thanking a student for assaulting another student, there's a systemic problem with the school administration--not the children.
Does my son support the status quo that keeps the 0.01% of Americans in power and leaving millions of Americans destitute and fighting one another for the remaining scraps? No. At the same time, the self-anointed "Social Justice Warriors" shouldn't assume that a white, male, STEM major isn't "woke." Paradoxically, this toxic behavior is increasing the obnoxious "tech bro" phenomenon.

EDIT: Something you may not be aware of is these young, white males are being targeted by white supremacist groups on college campuses. Of course they don't call themselves that. When these young men are isolated from their peer group and derided solely on the basis of their sex and race (ironically enough) then they can fall prey to these groups that will take them in and tell them this derision stems from the SJW's jealousy of the white male superiority. That's how these white supremacist groups are recruiting these young men on college campuses, and according to my son it's disturbingly effective. This is not progress.
I saw it as more of an art piece than a practical learning experience; the latter being more exemplified by books such as K&R and the like.

> How much electricity does this all use, I can hear you asking. I haven’t tested that out myself, but we do have a note from Samsung. They say The Frame needs almost the same amount of electricity in Art Mode as in TV mode. In hard figures, external reports talk of 100 watts in TV mode and 60 to 130 watts in Art Mode, depending how bright the room is. While Samsung themselves give 118 watts as the average value, they don’t specify if this is while watching TV of admiring art. But we can safely assume this isn’t a top-scoring environmentally friendly product yet.

> Why can't we have a transparent government like Finland?

In case this is a genuine question, I think it is because U.S. government has the largest power in the world and this is a benefit to many people who want that power protected and available to them. In a transparent government, this control by would bother regular citizens more and would destabilize things.

As I understand, Lean is a dependently typed programming language. How does it compare to a language like Idris?

How come mathematicians are encoding math in Lean instead of Idris for example?

Someone please correct me, I don't know much about this at all, but I was under the impression that Lean is in a more "imperative" style, while Idris is a functional language. I would have guessed that a functional language would be a better fit for describing math.
yep, had long video opened (in mplayer) when this started. I stopped it while reading your post, trying to reconnect results in 502.
on the first 2 it's like you say. The third one was meant to underline taxing a new industry to support one on it's way out. Maybe I didn't pick the best example out there.

I do agree with taxation to a certain extent(within reason). Like you say: infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain. That being said I am not a fan of paying for major inefficiencies or/and taxes meant to discourage/favour one industry as opposed to another(including long term subsidies).

I personally find it absurd how much is really paid as % in taxes from the yearly pay of a normal employee(taxes paid by employee, employer, included in product pricing, etc). This would be one of the reasons I don't like taxation at source(would render offshores almost obsolete).
And we know that it isn't flat throughout the day. I imagine this is probably peak earning time for them, assuming they bulk of the revenue is US based.

Because the 87 kWh total is based off the assumption of 5 hours per day. We need to use that to get to the actual wattage. Once I have the wattage, I can use that to get to the 24 hour per day 365 days per year usage of 418 kWh.

Another way of getting there is taking the 87 kWh estimate and multiplying it by 24/5 to get 418 kWh.
> but Trump increased his votes among both blacks and hispanics in 2020 compared to 2016.

FWIW, that's not true, or more accurately is unknown.

Those numbers come from election-day exit polling, and since many more Democratic voters voted by mail or voted early than Republican voters, exit polling skews Republican in 2020.

It would be quite interesting to see if those numbers hold up when corrected for the percentage of Democratic mail-in voters, but I don't know of anyone who has done that yet.
It is funny though. Debian builds a great product with an unpopular/impractical ideology (not a judgement). Ubuntu comes along, adds a little on top, throws out the ideological constraint, and achieves great market success!

And Debian is great. We might take it for granted now, but 2 decades ago while everyone else was fiddling with their own package dependencies with RPM (pre-Yum) Debian had amazing package management with builds for all sorts of amazing architectures. They were leaders both in thought and execution.

I tried (but failed) to influence an employer to invest more in Debian; instead they went with SuSe which eventually caused a few small problems. Now Debian & Ubuntu are booming.
