The difference between the military and the healthcare system is that soldiers can't quit, but healthcare workers can.

Every single healthcare worker in America is working at that job because they prefer that job to all other alternative jobs available to them. This is trivially true because if they preferred another job they could quit and take that job.

Of course, we all have stress, and nobody likes their job, and everyone gripes and complains, and everyone's bosses are slave drivers, and everyone's customers are demanding. That's why it's a job and not a hobby.

I stand by my argument that most of the work of monitoring and caring for covid patients can be performed adequately by semi-skilled workers.
Maybe they cushioned it? Embedded in a gel or some such. That definitely helps.
You and muricula's sibling comment is the reason I asked :) Occasionally it is hard to spot the "!" between "if" and "(", and having to figure out if it is an omission or it was deliberate. I was wondering if spelling it out as "foo == false" is worthwhile.

Such comparisons are almost meaningless. For explosives, its not only about how much energy gets released, but also (almost more so) about how fast it gets released.

For example, per kilogram, TNT releases less than a tenth of the energy that burning gasoline does, and a sandwich stores more energy than the equivalent weight in dynamite (but both are cheating, as TNT and dynamite both include the oxygen needed to ‘burn’ them, whereas gasoline and sandwiches don’t)
OK. I've still never heard of this person.

I'm still not sure why everyone assumes everyone else must have heard of this person, and downvotes everyone who hasn't. There's a weird, exclusive, gatekeeping vibe going on here, and it's extremely unwelcoming to people who didn't have a very specific background growing up. My background didn't include whatever sport this person apparently played, so I don't know them, so I'm somehow a bad person? I don't get it.

Ask HN: Does your organization track metrics like velocity and burn down rates?
Hi HN,

I'm curious about product organizations that are tracking quantitative metrics like burn down rates, velocities, etc. What other metrics are you tracking? Do you feel like they help or are they vanity metrics? Or worse, are they harmful?
Then block them. When is reporting necessary?
When someone calls your mobile and harasses you, you block their number. If it's criminal harassment that won't end, you call the police.
Who needs reporting for directessages, this is just odd.
No, there wouldn't, or at least shouldn't.

"people who were just born with attractive genes"

Have you ever met someone who seemed naturally good looking? Usually they care a lot about clothes, accessories, and are passionate about style and appearance. One guy I know always enjoys going "thrifting" at secondhand stores, and is incredibly enthusiastic and helpful if you go with him. So his success is related as much to work as it is to luck.

There's a lot that goes into being attractive in the same way there's a lot that goes into being "smart" (e.g. someone with a phd may be born smart but they worked incredibly hard to earn that phd).

Similar deal where I am at present in India: the small ISP uses carrier-grade NAT, so there’s malware and related activity occurring every day from at least one of the who-knows-how-many people behind this one IP address. Last time I was here in 2016 it was actually a lot worse than it is now (then, any Cloudflare site would trigger it, so I’d be hitting dozens of challenges per day), but I still get the occasional hCaptcha here (e.g. the Audacity wiki), and they’re awful. I normally take two or three attempts (quite apart from the regular times when you finish the challenge and press submit, and it just does nothing), guessing things like whether they want to count this particular dark smudge as a motorcycle or not, or whether this fragment of a motorcycle should count or not.

I wish people would just face up to the reality that challenge-based CAPTHCA techniques have failed, and stop using them.
Actually we did. We just did it in stages.
"The web's decentralized architecture" isn't a thing. There are clients and servers and communication protocols, that's it. There are plenty of web apps distributed from custom stores. And the web doesn't mandate using JS/HTML/CSS.

A client (whether browser, CLI, phone app, bot or anything else) making resource requests identified by a URL to an HTTP server is as "web" as it gets.

The reason you see fewer capchas on iOS and Android is that it is a lot harder to automate them for spam, that's all.

> there are more than a quarter million Americans that would certainly disagree with you were they still alive to do so

It's not like Americans are known for taking particularly good care of themselves.

I'm not sure of any scenario once community spread was rampant across the nation where substantial numbers of Americans wouldn't have died.

Let's not forget this nation has been supposedly battling an "obesity epidemic" for pretty much my entire adult life (I'm >40), and the fact that Dialysis centers have become a common sight throughout the nation. These problems existed prior to COVID-19, in many ways this is Americans sleeping in their own bed decades in the making.
I wish there was such a tool creating Metapost code. Metapost output is much more readable than pstricks and far, far faster than TikZ. And FWIW, it's what Knuth uses.
We hired an engineer out of Amazon AWS at a previous company.

Whenever one of our cloud services went down, he would go to great lengths to not update our status dashboard. When we finally forced him to update the status page, he would only change it to yellow and write vague updates about how service might be degraded for some customers. He flat out refused to ever admit that the cloud services were down.

After some digging, he told us that admitting your services were down was considered a death sentence for your job at his previous team at Amazon. He was so scarred from the experience that he refused to ever take responsibility for outages. Ultimately, we had to put someone else in charge of updating the status page because he just couldn't be trusted.

FWIW, I have other friends who work on different teams at Amazon who have not had such bad experiences.

Salesforce integrates with everything.

Every time someone at your company uses your phone system to call a customer, it is auto-logged in Salesforce. Every email is logged. Every sale, every transaction, every interaction.

Now when "Bob the amazing Sales Guy" leaves you have a central repository of every contact he's made in every company he's worked with on your behalf. This means you build institutional knowledge instead of tribal knowledge.

So now lets say a couple years have gone by, and you want to publish a white paper on pie consumption, so you hand the project off to your research and analytics team. Thanks to Salesforce they have knowledge of every person your company has ever contacted about pies, and therefore have a great jumping off point to start with interviews for the whitepaper.

The FSF didn't force RMS out; he voluntarily resigned so as not to have external events hurt the FSF. You can email him if you don't believe this. He's been pretty clear about that.

The FSF released free software video conferencing to associate members. This is the exact opposite of proprietary platforms like Zoom and is part of the mission of the FSF, to promote and defend user freedom. The organization isn't solely about writing on privacy and freedom; it also focuses on tangible ways to have privacy and freedom, and a free software solution that isn't Zoom does that.

How long has the content of the recaptcha puzzles been entirely unchanged, despite being shown to billions of users? Like five years? It should be painfully obvious that there is no actual labeling going on at this point, they have all the training data they'll ever need for traffic lights...

And by a corollary, since they haven't started labeling different kind of data, it's clear that either they no longer need any kind of labels at all, or this is actually not a cost-effective way of doing it.

Hang on, you are looking for "non-Marxist populist economists" but you're worried that "true fascism will emerge in a serious way"?? Which is it that you're worried about, communism or fascism? They're very different things. Even more so now that recent Marxist academics have mostly gone down explicitly anti-authoritarian routes. You want a third strain of populism that's "socialist" but not "Marxist"? What exactly is the "void" here?

I tried OBS studio, but could not figure out how to use it properly. Ended up using Xsplit Vcam instead, which is really good.

Heroku still doesn't have any data hosting options. You have to go to a third party for this.

Heroku doesn't have any static site hosting options. You have to go to a third party.

But the biggest problem I have with Heroku's model is how much I need to pay. I've been a Heroku customer for years and I'm still not exactly sure what a dyno is. And if I get it wrong, I can have auto-scaling... but only if I'm paying a minimum of $250 per month. Now that's not a lot to big companies, but for bootstrappers that's insane. And I only get 2.5GB of RAM for that $250/mo? And if I'm using microservices, every service costs me a minimum of $25/mo, $250/mo if I want auto-scaling on those services.

Like I said, Heroku is great and I use it in production and pay them money every month, but man if it's not stuck in 2015. Luckily so is my application so I don't have too many issues except for the ridiculous cost even as EC2 is dramatically cheaper now than it used to be (does Heroku support Graviton? I don't think it does), but PaaS in general is "the old way of doing cloud" and Heroku is becoming less relevant every day.

It’s just a fun thought experiment.

If you decide that consciousness [of pain] can’t possibly be a binary switch, then perhaps that also means being conscious isn’t a binary property.

If it isn’t a binary property, then is it a property that varies in degree based on developmental age (e.g. counting day 0 as conception)? Is it a quantity that can be measured quantitatively?

If it can be measured, do some fully developed humans have more or less of it? Do some non-humans have more or less of it?
Zero! I was a newspaper reporter.
I'm shocked that people don't apply the basic principles of human nature. The rules are ridiculous. Some people will see that. Politicians are implementing policy because that's what they need to be seen to be doing, not because they honestly believe it should apply universally. Ergo some politicians will be found in a state of hypocrisy.

The man responsible for much of the policy in the west, a UK advisor l, was caught breaching the rules to have sex with a married woman.
what I found fascinating is that the effect is maintained even when you're not focused (like lens focus, not attention focus) on the circles. If you let your eyes relax their focus to a point beyond the screen, the blurry circles maintain the illusion.

And bonus points if you find the focal point where a third circle is in the middle which is a composite of both the left and right circles, and... it doesn't move. I don't know how to better explain the effects of letting your eyes wander out of focus and the artifacts it creates in your vision, but I'm sure someone will get it.
And the traction it gets is mostly in closed source projects where the code may not be contributed back. For example Orbis OS, the OS of the Playstation 4 and quite possible 5 as well.
50k attempts is tiny, like a 3 character password or a single account run through /usr/share/dict/words.

If you're worried about password with between other sites that have leaked, then the real answer is to generate something like a username for each user that they won't be able to share between sites. In fact with the prevalence of password managers, generating users' passwords for them might just be the better approach these days. And just fall back to email auth every time if they don't want to store it.

Duct taping your broken system by throwing up an annoyance for every user who doesn't want to be tracked is not the way.

Whitespace is good and functional in some contexts but it's detrimental in others. Imagine an Excel sheet with only 10 rows per screen, light gray text and no borders around cells.

> Nothing's ever enough for vegans.

The most funny argument used by vegans is: "we are closer to nature". There's nothing more natural than animals eating each other.

And no, humans are not herbivores. Some primates might be, but human evolution started the moment our monkey ancestors decided to get off the tree and eat meat. By promoting veganism you're trying to undo the last 3-5 millions of years of human evolution. Talk about Catholic Church pushing us back to Middle ages... /s

Another argument that I hate: by not eating animals you reduce suffering. If we take that to it's logical conclusion, the only way for you to not cause any sufferning is to die. That's why Buddhists (for whom "reducing suffering" is a religious imperative) came up with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokushinbutsu

Life is an infininte circle of joy, pleasure, sadness, suffering, death... If you try to eliminate one of them you are against the life itself.

As far as I can tell there's not even evidence of an exoplanet around that star (likely because that star hasn't been searched for evidence of an exoplanet). The arXiv preprint basically amounts to "Identification of a Sun-like star in the same part of the sky where the 'Wow' signal originated."
Meh, there's always going to be a longtail of targeted abuse so it's not much to boast over. Xrumer software in 2001 could even let you sit at your computer and fill out those common PHP-lib captchas (like on EZBoard) while Xrumer spammed internet forums and blogs. You could even hire a cubicle farm of humans to manually abuse a web service.

Captchas filter out the 90% bulk of automated abuse.

Btw, web scraping is on the nearly harmless side of abuse.

How else would you write that you want to match all strings that don't contain string X? If you were matching at a specific position, you should use a negative lookahead (?!xyz), but I think in some cases you might need the mess above.
There's a lot of arguments against captchas, but I do not agree with this one. You will always leak whether or not a password is correct based on how your app behaves - a correct password will grant entry to the application. If you only ask for a captcha when a user account exists but fail to ask if they use a made up username, that's an information leak.

This is why I think on-the-job training is important. I know there isn't much of an economic argument for a company to take on older candidates and teach them how to be a productive developer, but maybe subsidies would help? I don't know, I just don't think we can reasonably expect people to retrain on their own time... especially if they're dealing with financial stress already.

> There's never any consequences and leaves people (me at least) increasingly frustrated, angry, and feeling a complete lack of faith in our politicians.

And this why I consider displays of hypocrisy like these to be so dangerous. In order to function well, a government needs faith in its legitimacy, and a trust that it is looking out for the people's interests. And if that trust is lost, people check out and stop engaging with the government in good faith. And that is what creates opportunity for demagogues to rise and human rights to get trampled.
