For something to be fact-checked, it must take context in consideration. Fact-check can be true, a middle ground (both true and false) or false. So there's not this black and white as some people pretend it is. A few just want to pretend they should get away with lying, and getting people to go along with their villainry. Beware such sociopaths, they will do the same to you and loved ones at next turn. Never yield any power to such people. No cause is worth destruction.

If your statements don't hold water, you should be held accountable for it, and there should be consequences according to your power. When those consequences is more power, you sooner or later arrive at Mussolini (look him up).

Though, for many people, facts, science, teachers, doctors, none of that matter. So this means the political system must get out of its stalemates and address the real issues that lie beneath the bullshitters. People don't think alike, so you can't reach everyone, even if you think you have all the facts. Besides, facts can always be disputed, though not unreasonably so.

My conclusion is, no fact-checking will ever be sexy and viral. People will die of boredom instead :)

Good try though!
From the article:
> I’m aware of pass and tried it before I came to this setup, but I want to put more info than just a password string in my files, so that’s why pass doesn’t fit my need.

I keep a lot more than just the password string in my files. They are just plain text files after all. My largest secret was a full dump of my old Lastpass database as some imports failed due to naming issues.

This looks like an interesting exercise but I think the pass ecosystem provides a more robust tool for day to day use; though neither option are useful for my non-technical family members (IMHO).

(edited for clarity)
You are quite wrong, ignoring both the megapixel wars and how video encoding works. There are enormous trade-offs involved here, and one chip may produce files twice the size and half the quality of another chip even with the same sensor and lens—to say nothing of the variation possible in sensors and lenses! If I record 1080p on my Surface Book with its rear-facing camera, for example, it runs quite a bit hotter than a typical phone with very similar optics, but produces substantially better quality for a given bit rate—in doing rough visual comparison earlier this year, I estimated that it was producing obviously better results at a quarter of the file size, comparing it to a mid-range phone of a generation two or three years newer than it.

Also the other aspect of resolution not being everything is the optics; my Sony α6100’s 1080p is miles ahead of most phones’ 1080p in quality, and I think there’s a high chance it’d be better than a $100 4K video camera’s 4K.

In short, not all 1080p or 4K or 8K or whatever is created equal.

One other thing to remember: all else being equal, 8K video will be consuming four times as much power and generating four times as much heat as 4K video, which will be consuming four times as much power and generating four times as much heat as 1080p video. (Of course, all else never is equal, but it’s a fair approximation, especially within the context of a single device; but when comparing between generations, as part of quadrupling the pixels pushed, they probably put more effort into efficiency to try to balance power and heat things out too.)
That’s well known, and not what I am thinking about. More like…

• Dumb frame rates.

• Lack of good flat color profiles.

• Lack of clean HDMI output.

• Dumb codecs.

True... but there are tangible signs that MSFT's latest CEO (Satya Nadella) is substantially more coherent on long-term strategy than the previous CEO Balmer. It's certainly still no guarantee they'll continue being smarter but it is some justification for not entirely writing them off and perhaps cautious optimism.
Basically, you've decided the fact checkers are somehow malicious actors, without any particular evidence of that actually happening, and vaguely labeled their speech as bullshit.

Seems like nonsense[1] to me.

You don’t need to allow notifications from random apps to make them work for you:

> which means you're paying 3x more than you need to 99.99999% of the time.

This would be a poor decision. If you assume AWS, GCP, and Azure would fail independently, you can pay 1.5x. Each of the 3 services would be scaled to take 50% of your traffic. If any one fails, you would then still be able to handle 100%. This is a common way to structure applications. Assuming independence means that more replicas result in less overprovisioning. 1 replica means needing to provision 2x. Having 5 independent replicas means, you need to provision 1.25x to be resilient against one failure as each replica will be scaled at 25%.

In general, N replicas need N/(N-1) over provisioning to be resilient against one replica failing.

Because it sells the hardware, where they make the most money. I don't think they will do something like that, but I think the reason is that they just don't care enough to dedicate internal resources.
Holacracy was developed at a software company by Brian Robertson who then took it and started another company, HolacracyOne, to refine and spread it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holacracy. Tony Hsieh brought it into Zappos which was IMO incredibly influential in increasing the visibility of Holacracy. His passing is very sad.
Spot on.

HN is interesting sometimes. So many on here make a crap ton of money, way more than most other industries, and then go on to complain about FB, MSoft, Apple, Google, etc. But they all want their money and gladly take it, many working for these same companies.

No one wants to make decentralized software because there's no money in that, and no money means no fancy Tesla, or expensive restaurants, or nice condos.
Most observers will find themselves in universes with infinite kolmogorov complexity.
You stole money after using a company and now that you have money you mustered a little confidence and finally decided not to be a coward cunt.
None of these comments are reacting to people complaining about Amazon in the comments or claiming that HN is unfairly biased against Amazon, which is what the comment I replied to was about.
This article, light, but not stupid light(!) cast a brilliant perspective on software development. Good read! Two thumbs from me!
I feel for you. I've been through all these problems including sleep apnea, which seems to have mostly gone away, but I have a cpap just in case. I take a low dose of Quetiapine (25mg) which means I can sleep 5 to 6 hours and wake up fairly refreshed (after a cup of coffee) and can write code without getting obsessed about it.

A distro specifically targetting the apple form factor would be great. Even with linux as it is now there's still a huge number compatibility issues and jankiness at a per distro basis.

A distro targetting just apple would greatly simplify what needs to be done and overall lead to a better user experience.
I'm really happy with the framing of this article, and with the nuance in discussing other ITPs and the history of ITPs!
Well an overlay network by definition is always going to be transparent to you. But no the AWS VPC CNI does not create an overlay. It's just layer 3. It works by adding ENIs to your worker nodes with secondary IP addresses on them. And those secondary IPs are from your VPC's address space. See:

Tell HN: Both emails addresses harvested from my profile
Just to let the general community know, I'm now receiving emails to the other email address in my HN profile. The latest email is a subscription confirmation email for a blog I've never seen and in which I have no interest.

On the other hand, obscuring your details too much can mean that people you want to talk to can't contact you.

Email is everywhere, pretty much everyone still uses it, despite everything, it's still important and relevant.

Personally, I think those who abuse it are scum. But they are out there ... we have to deal with it.

It wasn't my intention to claim that it could be calculated exactly. It was my intention to point out the distinction between software engineers, where there's a bottom line somewhere to be counted, and teachers, where the bottom line is effectively impossible to calculate.

This isn't about how much programmers are worth, but about why it is we get away with paying teachers so little while programmers are paid so much: their contribution to a corporate profit. The details are beyond the scope of the post.
Interesting. I definitely would not recommend this course as an only course in machine learning or indeed as an introduction, and I see where you’re coming from with the wrong mental models. I can’t be sure that I do have the right ones but I have taken a number of other courses as well and my sense is they’re ok.

My main takeaway from the course was definitely not that just grinding away for higher numbers is the right thing to do (but it might be a necessary evil in a competition context). The key thing I learned here was much more about paying very close attention that your validation strategy and your testing strategy are compatible because there are many ways you can mess it up, making your models valid in-sample only. Most of the other things I had done before were also more around SVMs and neural networks and getting some experience with decision tree based algorithms was interesting.
It´s counter-intuitive because of the chaotic path. It appears like with every crazy turn this object takes, one would need a couple of extra bits of the initial state - small deviations will result in completely different flight paths. Here, the initial state is of course the final state, but since its reversible that doesn´t really make a difference.

See the comment by Linus Torvalds about it. Leaving the door open is a poor excuse, because they can close it at any time putting all your invested effort down the drain. I'd say - don't waste your time.
Taking memory offline is pretty common, that’s part of how “chipkill” ECC works. Servers that are even slightly fancy have mirroring support with a spare for every module. HPE ProLiant servers have this feature and they’re just rack mounted PCs.

Actually removing and replacing these parts while the system runs requires electrical and mechanical features that most machine lack.

Well, even for BootCamp, a marketed feature, they only dropped a halfarsed set of drivers which worked very poorly and were pretty never updated. We need to use hacked AMD drivers to get updates for the Radeons and the Macs still overheat and burn a lot energy due to lack of even basic power saving features. Heck, even the GPU switching isn't implemented.

Why would there be expectation they'd do anything more for Linux?
> I don't think the argument I was addressing can be summed up as "X has worked". It's more like "X has happened, therefore X is an inevitable consequence of Y which preceded it."

You are splitting hairs now. The point I am making is that frequently on this site observations are discounted immediately as survorship bias. It almost as if it the only one people know.

It simply isn't survorship bias if something been going on for hundreds of years in a particular direction.

> Also, tropes are often tropes for a reason. You can't dismiss something just because it comes up often.

I am dismissing it because it doesn't make sense and it is frequently overused. Thus the hammer and nail analogy.

In any event it pointless continuing this discussion further. So lets just leave it.
Yes this is a good point - people with music to share will probably have it on Soundcloud or Bandcamp already, just add Soundcloud/Bandcamp embedding and you're all set
Lewis's more philosophical works are massively underappreciated for how insightful, nuanced, and prescient they often were. If I were the kind of omnipotent moral busy-body he warns about, I'd swap every copy of 1984 in every primary school with a collection of his essays.
DisplayObjectContainer support just landed a few days ago, but yes, our AS3 support is basically nothing right now. Most of our effort has gone into finding and implementing the bottomless pit of strangeness that is AVM1 and it's execution model. Adding AS3 support also means making sure we can leverage the same object hierarchy without breaking any of those fixes. For example, after figuring out how DisplayObjectContainer IDs and timeline depths interact, Toad06 and I went through several rounds of regression testing with AVM1 content because of how foundational the changes were.

Shumway used to be a Mozilla project with corporate backing; that would explain why their implementation was so complete. (Ruffle is all people working spare-time currently) The performance ceiling with Rust is way higher than JavaScript, but we're nowhere near that yet, much yet at the point where we'd have to start writing JIT compilers for AS2 or AS3. We are using GPUs to render polygonalized shapes where available, though that has some accuracy issues with stroke scaling. Ideally, we'd like to have some kind of low-level Flash-like vector drawing implementation, but that would be a significant performance loss unless we could either parallelize it or somehow convince a GPU to do it.

Furthermore, a lot of that is going to have to come after all the compatibility and implementation work we still need to do. Off the top of my head...

1. Core AS3 display object support - I'm working on this with somewhat-slow progress

2. Core AS3 data types (String, Number, int, uint, Vector.<$>, Point, Transform, JSON, etc) - I'll do this as-needed for other AS3 work or specific games that depend on these methods

3. Video decoding - I have an h263 decoder written but still need to tie it into the stage, and it'll probably be super-inefficient on web unless I port decoding over to GPU shaders

4. Remaining AS2 classes - Someone PR'd BitmapData support but it's incomplete. There's also some security-related and custom socket classes which expose the movie's origin, which is validated by some domain locks.

5. XML - I have a custom DOM and AS2 integration for it, but we need to write our own custom parser and also tie it into both legacy XML and E4X XML on AS3

Alright, good to know.

I think that's more evidence that the overheating problem wasn't a deliberate attempt to segment customers into the cinema bracket, but rather something Sony didn't realize would be such a problem, because who is going to want to film 100 minutes on their photo camera? Practically everyone as it turns out.

Yeah, they could have and should have added better heat dissipation: but they can and should make (much) better software as well, and don't, because... it's Sony.
Tangentially related: ...

But seriously, I get tons of value out of writing and reading comments that start with “tangentially related: ...” On a recent thread on ZFS I asked for advice on a system build I’m doing and got tons of great advice. Anyone working with ZFS implicitly cares about building physical systems (so they can abstract over them), so without being especially on topic, my question and the ensuing responses create “peer reviewed” information that is germane to the same crowd of people reading the thread. It’s like a human powered recommendation engine: “interested in this thing? Here’s a sampling of the neighborhood of nearby topics that people who are interested in this about also care about.” It lets you traverse an idea space at an organic, human level in a way that no other medium manages. A+ would ask and answer tangentially related questions.

Firstly you don't get to tell me what I can and can't consider and what I happen to think is relevant. As for what is relevant, I was talking about the relevance to this particular discussion nor the wider implications.

It was pretty obvious to me what was meant, but at this point it is pretty obvious people want to make it about something else.
That's awesome. I'm currently studying Rust, but I'm looking forward to giving Nim a try in a year or two. I really like the syntax, and if it can offer the same safety and performance as Rust, then I see a bright future for it.
There's no question Democrats have a stranglehold on our education system, news media, Hollywood, and all major tech companies. That's what drives the feeling of frustration -- of being voiceless. (The left has rightly told America that representation matters, but it only seems to matter on identity axes. Meanwhile 50% of America has no newspapers, few schools, no social networks, few entertainment options...)

Besides, there is no shortage of left-wing persecution complex. It underpins so much of the woke movement it's been given it's own neologism: grievance olympics.
The solution is simple, yet unoptimized entirely but for the smallest union of people: Empathy

The incentive everywhere need to be to empathize and understand our differences, to bridge the gaps. When one looks at the overall business world, which is institutionalized war and injustice, against people and environment, there is much to work with.

All the logic in the world won't right these wrongs.
Is "stupid light hiking" really a proper comparison. In the case of hiking, the hiker is making the choices and the hiker is the one who will have to live (or die) with them. In the case of software, too often it is a commercially-oriented application developer making the choices and it is a different person, a user, who must live with them. The hiker has control over her choices. The user has no control over the application developer's choices.

In some ways, the best programs are the ones I write for own use only. I know the user better than anyone and I have full control over the design choices. Obviously, choosing not to use someone else's software is ineffective as a means of controlling someone else's design choices. Perhaps unsolicited "advice" found in blogs might have some influence though.

This is just my opinion, and I know it's an unpopular one.

I believe any kind of conscious dream processing is unhealthy. Our dreams is already the results of some kind of processing, so feeding them back as more experiences that need to be analyzed is confusing and tiring for your brain.

You said that you've been doing it since your school days, so perhaps you don't remember, but dreams are made from a different material then regular memories: they are usually very "slippery" and hard to hold on to. I think it's important in this case to go with our default behavior and to forget them as fast as possible. And yes, it means that all lucid dreaming practices are damaging your brain functionality IMO.

To break the loop you're in, I think you need to re-learn how to not mess with dreams. Give yourself the time you need, and if you're tired the best thing to do is to go back to sleep. But avoid doing so while thinking about any dream, or anything that is related to a dream, or even the abstract concept of dreams. When you catch yourself doing do, dismiss the thought with "oh, that isn't important" and then switch the topic to anything else, anything at all. You can follow the line where the wall meets the ceiling, for all your brain cares. The dismiss part is important, don't skip it. It prevents your brain from re-saving the thought. This trick can also be applied to that embarrassing moment your brain keeps popping at random times. Just "not important" wave, and a quick change of subject. Works like a charm.

Good night, sleep well and wake up :)
Slightly different experience. Stopped using an alarm clock when we had kids. Seem to always wake up between 6 and 7am and often tired during the day ;)
It’s paradise because you don’t see the obstacles or go gays. They look different in the us than they might in your home country so it’s not obvious what they are. Many Americans see the same when they look at the third world and see no rules or regulations to hold them back but fail to account for other issues.
