>There's nothing individually you could do to prevent it. On the other hand if you self host and there's an outage, the buck stops with you, it's your problem to diagnose and fix.

I feel like this statement perfectly embodies the problems that people face when choosing a closed source OS vs Linux/BSD. When stuff doesn't work on Windows there's pretty much nothing you can do so you have to just accept it and pretend that you wanted it to not work this way. As opposed to Linux where you can make it work your way, but it costs a lot of time to do that.
> E2EE is a lie, Facebook hold the private encryption keys server-side so they're able to decrypt messages at any time.

This is a pretty bold claim. Do you have a citation for this?
Huh, I didn't know that. I've read through a fair amount of Java code with regexes and never seen anyone use comments. Maybe it's because Java doesn't have proper multi-line string support built into the language.

If you don't have multi-line support in the language then you're more likely to put the comments outside the string:

String regex=
"^"
+"(?:http)(?:s)?" // http or https
+"(?:\:\/\/)" // ://
+"(?:www\.)?" // optional www.
+"(?:[^\ ]*)" // rest of URL (no spaces)
+"$";
Nothing in industry to that scale goes to waste. It makes money, whether in pet feed, animal feed, or stock as someone below mentioned (that's news to me). It may seem unsavory to some but if there were a more profitable use of the chick, it would be used for that.

It always amazes me the mental gymnastics people will go through to justify just enough harm in their minds to get what they want (in this case, meat to eat and eggs to eat). Just accept that these things are bred for fuel, and move on, or don't, and be a vegan. Both of those are fine, but to sit in the middle and pick and choose which you kill and justify it to yourself based on cuteness or anthropomorphizing it is silly.

Politics is about where we go. Tech is about how we arrive there. If you disagree on the direction we are headed, discussing different ways to arrive there seems pointless.

You may agree with the status-quo politics, but other people don't. For them it's not about the tech, it's about the overall direction. For those people the important discussion to have is political.

For instance, I personally am against the current direction macOS and Windows are headed. I have no problem with these kind of security measures as long as there is a button to opt out. Currently, Apple decides for everyone, and doesn't provide ways to opt out for power users. I dislike this, and I feel like discussing better cryptography, security protocols, etc, doesn't address my priorities.

I think Regex is too low-level and a problem worth abstracting. It works fine with simple patterns but I don't really see how a pattern like this:

Your points about codifying business process and integrations are spot-on.

The developer experience is sadistic, but Lightning is the worst. It takes forever to load basic information because it all has to cycle through JS callbacks. Try opening a link (or a bunch!) in a background tab: it doesn't load anything until you're actually looking at the tab.
It depends. If it's a constant workload, it may be better to lease the server and operate it on-prem. If it's spiky, then cloud and on-demand/spot is the best option.

Yes, welcome to the real world of employment where your ability to network, sell yourself well, make your boss happy, be likable and play the politics game is what will make you successful rather than your ability to 1337 code.

My bad. I was looking at the specs. It's 300GBps, which is roughly 5x DDR5 IIRC.

So yes, at the very least 8 DDR4 channels, or one per core, but I'd expect more from a workstation-class board.

Now, speaking of the board, all those memory channels will be funny.

Alternative healthcare? Let me remind you of the opioid epidemic entirely caused by physicians.

The government gave the TV stations the spectrum in the 50's for free.

Okta is closing our account because we're Colombian
Okta decided they would no longer sell to customers in Colombia and Venezuela.
They think both economies are the same just because we're geographically next to each other. While Venezuela has an 'authoritarian-based' economy, Colombia has had very healthy and close economic and diplomatic ties with the US, for decades now. We're one of their closest allies, actually.

Our CEO tweeted (https://twitter.com/davidpelaez/status/1331653460027117569) to our ambassador and foreign officials about this situation but they don't seem to pay a lot of attention. Meanwhile, Okta still doesn't consider this as a big misjudgement on their behalf: considering Colombia and Venezuela as 'the same thing', for whatever reasons or prejudices they have.

Any product alternatives are welcome, as well as help in making this message/complaint reach further.

Answering myself, I think wikipedia might have clarified my confusion:

> The study of mathematical optimization delivers methods, theory and application domains to the field of machine learning.

> Machine learning (ML) is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience.

So it seems optimizations are the techniques for which most ML is based on, but ML is more of the idea that an algorithm would improve automatically from experience. Later in the wikipedia page, it creates a very clear distinction:

> The difference between the two fields arises from the goal of generalization: while optimization algorithms can minimize the loss on a training set, machine learning is concerned with minimizing the loss on unseen samples.

Taking your question at face value ...

The community here on HN has, at its core, a common interest in technology and startups. That then implies that many have an interest in programming and business.

But not all.

So people here do have a wide range of interests, and others will share those non-core interests. Sometimes they strike a chord, sometimes they don't. But that's the way communities work.

There's potentially a lot to discuss about Maradona. The exquisite talent, marred by the personal life and "The Incident" with the "Hand of God", and there are parallels there with programmers who are amazingly skilled, and yet complete jerks to the people they work with.

So there are reasons why this is not entirely out of place.

Why is it wrong? If the end stage of that chick is an adult that costs more to feed than it's worth, causes a price increase to consumers, and it still ends up killed and processed in some way, why not just humanely kill it instantly?

You might enjoy this report on the NIF from 2000 when it was being reviewed because of delays and cost growth:

https://web.archive.org/web/20010209102303/http://www.nrdc.o...

Has nice quotes like:

"Putting aside for a moment the vexing question of whether a "big science" machine well into the construction phase should still be plagued with numerous unresolved technology development issues, there is considerable evidence that both the science and technology underlying the NIF are not sound."

and

"While a large majority of ICFAC voted in May 1994 to support proceeding with engineering design of the NIF, [20] their decision was once again based on non-peer-reviewed LASNEX code predictions that had been hastily generated in the weeks immediately prior to the meeting. These calculations purported to demonstrate ignition with novel gas-filled hohlraum targets -- predictions that were subsequently not borne out by actual experiments conducted after the meeting."
It’s just reality. If you want more people to sign up to change bedpans during a pandemic, then pay up.

The cause of stress among healthcare providers is economic, and so is the solution.

I would never advise my kids to go into a job where a part of your pay is being called a hero. That’s how you get taken advantage of.

To be clear, the mechanisms is not high oxygen, but by inducing a fake hypoxia in a hyperoxic environment by varying the oxygen levels during treatment, instigating certain processes associated with hypoxia, but without the damage of real hypoxia.

I'm still amazed that JIRA redesigned the UI and chose to relegate the date the ticket was created to a "secondary piece of information".

> Regarding the iMessage backup thing, I fully agree with you that it's a major problem. But it's a different thing.

It's certainly a different product thing, yes. But from an Alice-Mallory-Bob end-to-end encryption block diagram it's the exact same thing: Bob's device is sending Alice's plaintext, post-decryption, to Mallory (using Mallory's TLS keys).

Considering that many (most?) users have app auto-update turned on, it's not entirely certain that Facebook can't initiate it.
I don't know how a basic understanding of how military technology is developed fits into "conspiracy theory".

I'm not projecting that a sinister cabal of technologists are hiding some great truth, just that the department of defense and defense contractors are obviously developing this technology and that new military tech is usually highly classified. There's no great mystery there.

>Bitcoin has matured enough to be granted the same status that the news gives to oil, cranberries and soybeans

That's giving BC way too much credit. The cost of oil and soybeans have a HUGE impact on consumers (cranberries less so) where it actually matters - their fuel and their food.

The cost of BC has ZERO impact on 99.999% of humans - so commodity markets put about that much weight onto it (as they should).

Even though I still use regexes in rare circumstances - e.g. inside config files, parser combinators already do a much better job than this (or regexes) when you are writing maintainable code:

warcEntry = do
header <- warcHeader
crlf
body <- do
contentLength <- getContentLength header
compressionMode <- getCompressionMode header
warcbody contentLength compressionMode
crlf
crlf
return (WarcEntry header body)

If you accept crlf as "carriage-return-line-feed", the rest basically reads as pseudocode. crlf could have just as easily been written (string "\r\n") I guess.

Parser combinators can:

* call out to other parsing functions (e.g. warcHeader) - so you can build your code out of testable units.

* bind results to variables and start using them during the parse, e.g. warcHeader returns data containing contentLength and compressionMode, which is then fed to the warcbody function so it knows what to expect.
Just to +1 the two of yours assertions, I've been experiencing the same.

I recall one agency had a tagline "specialization is for insects" but the reality I've found for applying is a number of tech teams have pretty rigid requirements of x years experience with specific languages/libraries and won't consider what other valuable assets you bring to the table or how fast you're able to pick up material. Which I guess makes sense for senior level positions but junior/intermediate?
I limit my brain-time on constructing a regex to 5 minutes max. If it takes me longer than that, I reach for a parser. Pick the right tool for the job.

Most sane right-to-repair advocates don't oppose microscopic parts or glued batteries. They oppose deliberate measures against repair, such as:

- Parts which are produced by a third party who signed a contract with the manufacturer to not sell the part to other people. So you cannot find whatever $2 power management unit in your phone's main board even if you are willing to use complex equipment to replace it.

- Parts which "marry" their devices and refuse to work when you plug them into another device.

This kind of behavior actively fights against you repairing the device. I find it unacceptable.
