That's because brain interfaces in the same general category already exist. Much less sophisticated, of course, but as the saying goes, that's just an implementation detail. :-)
Can anyone comment on how InfluxDB compares to Prometheus and Grafana?
I'd like to think that too—it would be so much easier—but I'm pretty sure the answer is no, and I think I know why. It's because the moderation problems are all traceable back to the fundamental things we struggle with as human beings. Pain and misunderstanding in relationships, mostly.

I do still have one optimistic belief about this, which is that groups have a kind of consciousness (call it culture) and that this can develop over time, and get more organized. To the extent that that happens, moderation is not needed so much. Moderation is there to try to provide the organization that the group can't do for itself, so it's always a substitute and not a very good one.
If the headline misrepresents the study, then that is the fault of this publication, and nobody should share the article or read it. If the headline is an accurate representation of the study, then the study is garbage without having to know anything else about it.

Slightly offtopic, but a common exploit(?) I frequently see with Linux desktop environments is a few seconds where the user's live desktop is displayed after resuming from standby, before the logon screen comes up. Not exactly a case of obtaining control of one's computer, but could be effectively used through repetition to transcribe any sensitive content that may have been onscreen.

It always struck me as a very strange phenomenon to occur given the apparent security superiority of Linux in contrast to Windows. Perhaps that's an antiquated notion now, given modern distros that prioritise form-over-function more than they used to?

The root user obviously counts as a user account, otherwise you would be prompted to make a new account on every startup if you hadn't made any other accounts. The reason why it thinks there are zero accounts in this instance is because you've just killed the service daemon that would provide that number, so no number is received through the DBus call.

Indeed it would be but making unit tests easier to read, write, and maintain should force you to make the application easier to write and maintain. I agree that readability can suffer somewhat if you’re not careful though.

You know, honestly, I think it's just time to stop making comments like this and admit that Apple isn't making products that you are interested in.

Stop letting them live rent free in your head.

It's a consumer product. WHO. CARES.

For the average user, these are fantastic. A laptop that lasts beyond the number of waking hours in a day and has no noisy fans with basically untouchable performance in that form factor. And YOU'RE STILL MAD...about the vocabulary that Tim Cook speaks with compared to Steve Jobs, who has been scientifically verified as being a completely different person. (I highly doubt Steve never said anything about loving Apple products, either)

In other words, Steve Jobs has been dead for almost 10 years, it's time to leave his personality cult. If you liked what he said better, it's probably because he was one of the best salespeople who has ever lived - that doesn't change what the product actually IS.

And oh my goodness, stop getting worked up about specs and industry-standard price segmentation practices. 99% of customers DO. NOT. CARE. The VAST majority of MacBook Air buyers buy the base model and don't need anything more than that. macOS is perfectly usable on 8GB, heck my parents are using 4GB on theirs and it works fine - yes, with Catalina. No joke, you need to open up something like 40 chrome tabs before it matters. RAM requirements have completely stagnated for anything but the most exotic workloads.
One of the biggest parts of InfluxDB 2.0 is Flux, the new data scripting and query language.

Personally I doubt if it's really worthy to grasp a new language rather than stick with old fashioned SQL, with something like TimescaleDB.

Telegraf is a really useful component, UDP has a very low overhead and can connect to tons of stuff.

That would hold true for one of the most extreme periods of stress/burn-out I've had in my past. A project with technical demands set by a non-technical person who had no interest in budging. I thoroughly detested that project (and that person)!

In comparison, I've had periods of greater workload but where I've had full control, and enjoyed the challenge.

There are several IDEs for specific Lisps, like Dr Racket or the Lispworks implementation of Common Lisp. There's also Emacs, which is kind of like a Lisp-based IDE, and Slime is a really good Common Lisp plugin for it.
Well, I like Xcode. But Apple keeps making changes with every version, and some of those changes seem to be for no good reason. You get a kind of muscle memory after a while, from using your IDE. When a button is moved or removed, or a menu is changed, it adds friction to your day.

Also, I got bit with this thing they did for the new ARM chips in the Macs. Our script to build a fat binary (device and simulator) for a in-house framework broke, and we couldn't add the simulator anymore. That took a lot of tracking down to fix. It's constant aggravation like that that wears on a person. Last year, we had the 3rd-party mapping software we use break, because -- as best as I can tell -- Apple changed the implementation for drawing. That was a pain in the ass to track down, too.

I wasn't kidding when I wrote that I was a fanboy. But the other day I was thinking of Steve Ballmer, years ago, running around on stage like a sweaty lunatic -- "Developers, developers, developers!" I mocked him then. Now I'm sorry I did.

I can’t speak to the Rustler, but the JNI bindings for Rust are quite good. There are a lot of areas where you can still shoot yourself in the foot, lots of unsafe. But there are patterns they encourage that are very safe, like associating lifetimes to Java objects that are instantiated in the Rust code appropriately. It also has good interfaces for working with arrays and avoid some of the foot guns in traditional C JNI libraries.

It’s not quite possible to have no unsafe code in JNI with Rust (in my experience) but it is very easy to isolate to very small areas of your code.
I did intend to say 1959, sorry. Fatfinger :)

The Freeway revolts, yes. They are exoterically held up today as an example of early environmentalism and even anti-racism, but when I started learning about the history, the groups responsible, and the demographic changes that were happening at the time a very different esoteric picture emerged.

Check out the cover story of the 1954 edition of "The Negro Traveler's Green Book" (pages 11–18, inclusive) about how San Francisco is "fast becoming the focal point of the Negros' future" despite "being squeezed into two areas of San Francisco today":

https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/3c85ba30-9374-0132...

Then realize that one of those two areas (Western Addition / Fillmore area) was connected to the Central Freeway by the former Turk / Golden Gate ramps and that that's when the fervor against the Western Freeway started in earnest.

And now so much for that formerly-bright future: https://www.forbes.com/sites/priceonomics/2016/05/11/the-afr...

I'm sure it's totally coincidental that the conversion of the north-of-Market segment of the Central Freeway into Octavia Blvd kept the Oak/Fell connection but blocked the Turk/GGate connection entirely.

Just imagine what today's SF could be like if every new piece of architecture wasn't "hostile architecture". The pre-1956 appearance of Civic Center Plaza might be an indication: https://i.redd.it/u30i14rbd3e51.jpg

edit: I forgot to mention that Lincoln High is in a neighborhood that explicitly banned sale to non-whites via redlining and racial deed covenants:

https://default.sfplanning.org/Preservation/sunset_survey/Ad...

"In San Francisco, many of the largest private builders of the 1920s to 1950s—such as Baldwin & Howell Henry Doelger, Standard Building Company, and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Parkmerced)—included racial covenants or discriminatory practices prohibiting non-Caucasians from purchasing and/or renting properties, particularly in the western and southwestern area of San Francisco. It is interesting to note, however, that Sunset District builders typically did not adopt racially restrictive deeds until the late 1930s."

The Western Freeway, of course, would have connected these neighborhoods quickly up to all the others. As to why the Sunset District didn't adopt racial covenants until the 1930s, I wager it might have something to do with most of it not existing yet :)

This is what the Sunset Ave area looked like in 1938, for example: http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s/e0zozf
They invested $800K in Baremetrics.

They aren't. They are just writing off their initial investment.

They lose $800K (which is less than that because it can be offset for tax purposes), not $1.6M.
This is a good point.

really, do you have a reference?
I feel like your answer is sort of in bad faith. I live in an urban area, and people are quite concerned about the dropout rate (and more to the point that I think you're trying to imply but are dancing around for your own reasons, the racial achievement gaps). But I guess we put a different spin on it: we are ashamed of it, we should be ashamed of it, and we bring it up a lot in political races and on billboards and in conversations about who to elect to the School Board. Have we been effective in fixing it? Not really. But it's not because of propaganda purposes -- it's because it's a hard problem that's intertwined with questions of financial capital and stability and health care and justice and environment.

Anyhow, in the United States, all citizens have the vote, and an uneducated urban vote and an uneducated rural vote are both votes, though due to our unequal representation the rural vote is 'worth' more.

I'm as much of a technophile as any other HN reader, but I am continuously flummoxed that anyone makes use of the sort of electronic voting machines described in this article. This is mainly from the perspective that a lot of the redundancy and auditability of the system seemed to rely on a bunch of printers working perfectly.

Paper ballots and a pencil/pen are still hugely more reliable and trustworthy, IMO.

At least with the NYT exit polls, they included phone interviews to account for mail in voters. Here is a more systematic post-election analysis, based on a huge survey (100,000+ respondents), from Fox/Associated Press/U Chicago: https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results/voter...

This one shows significantly lower Black vote for Trump than the Essence article (12% of men, 6% of women) but an even higher Latino vote (39% of men, 32% of women). Both sets of data show Trump losing support from white men slightly. (Which is consistent with pre-election polling.)

I have always used Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring, and I feel like InfluxDB is more aimed towards IoT sensors data representation.

I’m about to build a new Linux desktop. I came dangerously close to pre-ordering a mini instead - RAM and I/O is what held me back from that impulse buy.

Reasons to not use Linux: getting hardware working right is a PITA - note that I already have a powerful desktop PC, but I haven’t been successful in making it work reliably with Linux after several attempts. I’m going to build a new one, specifically researching user experience with Linux for each part because it really is a minefield. I’m also going to have to buy a new 4K monitor, because while Linux DEs can handle high DPI, they really struggle with mixed DPI.

The desktop experience on macOS is quite nice, and you don’t need to worry about whether apps will work most of the time. It handles mixed and high DPI beautifully - you don’t have to think about it and you don’t have to mess with X.Org configs.

I like the idea of Linux, and I am going to move forward with it, but I do that knowing I’m paying a heavy price in my time to do so.
Not that it's always bad to rehash things, but the title as stated is almost tautological. Of course AI (as the media loosely defines it). Yeah obviously product recommendations are about making you buy more things (at least from that brand). What did you think the money was being invested in?

The article title seems a bit less obvious while also better describing what the article is about

How was experience using Go routines? And how would you compare it with Java? I am sure Java would have something similar
Over the years the mini has had a variety of different shades and designs. I wouldn't read too much into it.
I use InfluxDB with Chronograf and Kapacitor for monitoring and notifications. It's pretty solid. I was excited about InfluxDB 2 since I wouldn't have to run Chronograf and Capacitor separately.

The notification settings are somewhat odd, though. In my case I want a notification if something transitions into a bad state (Critical), and also want to get a notification when it's back to normal (OK).

In InfluxDB 2, I can only set a notification to fire if the state goes to Critical, OR if it goes to OK. I can't have a single notification rule that covers both cases. It's super annoying to maintain two rules for each item I'm monitoring.

Meanwhile, Grafana has notifications work the way I described by default. I'm not sure if InfluxDB is weird, or if the rest of the world does notifications differently than I do.
this is what that boggles my mind. Like are those benchmarks really comparable? I mean Intel and AMD have been doing this far longer than Apple and it seemed as if Apple just came in and bend the laws of physics that Intel and AMD have been limited by
CTOR heirarchy - Constructor Hierarchy.

You have to have your constructors such that the ones needing a lot of services and in-turn those services needing a lot of other services need to be added to the service container and ensured to be instantiable.

Essentially, you build a tree of your services and have to ensure that all your constructors have objects that can be instantiated or managed by the DI system.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but how are content producers supposed to negotiate a fair price for their content, if they aren't allowed to withhold it from services paying too little?
I bet “pros” never bought it and it’s only been viable as a basic desktop. Probably nobody ordered the 10 gigabit upgrade.

I bet they’re only upgrading it because it was essentially free. They already developed it for the developer transition kit.

I commend the idea of a small enthusiast mini desktop like a NUC but I don’t think the market is really there, or if they are, they’re not interested in a Mac.
I can see how that could come about (lumping window manager concerns all into the one bucket), but to me it's security implications make a good case for re-architecting this part of the system. I.e. having a separate part of the OS which marshals access to the visible desktop when transitioning between ACPI states.

For hardware-accelerated compositing situations, it might have something to do with unnecessarily long / out-of order retention of the GPU frame buffer, which I could conceive of as being dismissed as inconsequential in most circumstances.

Yes, “an improvement.” Is a pretty low bar.

Would “drug courts,” where offenders are not prosecuted provided they complete treatment not also be an improvement?
Yes, but I feel that this context is a little bit different: here the assumption is that both partners (or tuples) have iOS, which is probably pretty rare (at least from my experience, EU based)

For MacBook Air and MacBook Pro "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display in millions of colours and: (Only) One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz". Mac Mini supports 2 displays, one via thunderbolt the same as above plus a second 4K display on the HDMI port only which I'm guessing internally uses the same output as the laptop displays.

That’s a little disappointing - probably won’t be getting this first generation model :/ Apparently eGPUs are not supported either (https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/10/new-apple-silicon-macs-with-m...) although perhaps there will be some "traditional" USB display adapters that would work?

Use case being docking the machine to my desk the majority of the time. I'd like at least 2 and preferably 3 display outputs to match my current setup.
Yeah it’s definitely a FP dynamic range issue. Moving to extended point is impractical for a great many reasons. Transfer function form IIRs put high demands on FP dynamic range that other forms do not. This has real world parallels too, since the most basic way to realize an analog filter is with the transfer function method. I don’t know of anyone who makes a 2 F capacitor with tolerances that are within 2 pF.
Economic and political clashes are not reality.

Like the great houses of Game of Thrones fighting a huge civil war, while an unstoppable army of wights readies invasion from the north.

Perhaps one can throw around accusations of bias in economics and politics easily, but our own world squabbles in internecine insular conflict while Global Warming, Species Depletion, and other major threats loom.

If your "side" denies the existence and threat of those and calls those "liberal" issues, then it taints the entire "side" it represents.

The denialism of global warming the fundamental argument to "reality has a liberal bias". Until the right accept the basics of rationalism and science, "centrist" media should appear liberally biased to the right wing zealots of our time.
But what about those vulnerabilities is specific to being on a private network? If we can find a public website with the same vulnerability, will we start enforcing stricter CORS requirements everywhere?
