I agree with you, but I can't find a good way to communicate this to the other camp. I wonder if you can't clearly see this without having been a "sysadmin" long before "devops" was a title.
A super well-written and easy-to-read post. It takes real skill and craft to communicate this well.

I don't actually know. I'm just futzing around online while unable to get to sleep. But I googled "python play with protein folding" and came up with this:

It's much more difficult to prefetch them, though - if you're traversing a large list it misses the cache every time, rather than just the first element.

(someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
I agree with you. As counterpoint, I was embarassed for our profession when something like 70% of people in the industry said they were confused with the syntax for httpd.conf
Elsewhere in the thread makes plenty of cases for corporate advances, even (or perhaps especially?) in the 20th century with e.g. Bell Labs et al. I think the empirical results are pretty good for corporate science.

As for 'needing' PhDs, I'm not sure. Having some can be convenient, yes, but in many cases not necessary. In some fields the only way to get caught up (i.e. no corporation will train you directly) may be with academic foundations but is a PhD necessary or just some relevant graduate work?

As an example N=1 to show a PhD is not needed always, Jeff Jonas formerly held the title of IBM Chief Scientist where he did some state of the art work in entity resolution. He didn't even finish high school.
I'm not sure how you evaluated it. I took my Amazfit Bip off my wrist in order to measure it right now. From top glass to bump at bottom surrounding the optical sensor it's 8mm.The diagonal from case edge to case edge,is 47mm.
I agree that the phone software could be better. However, I think the watch UI is reasonable given the constraints. As for watch-face selection - there are a couple of dozen - how many do you want for <$100?
There’s basically no chance that’s real but I don’t want to get into one of those weird HN arguments about whether or not vacuums can really make someone less healthy in response to an article about an AWS outage so you do you!
I think the main value of contrarian thinking comes from building up better understanding of the world by being wrong a lot and then forcibly changing your mind through arguments.

If you are a contrarian throughout school and college and assumes most things they teach are wrong until you are sufficiently convinced you come out much better than someone who just accepted everything at face value simply because now you ingrained the difference between correct, uncertain and false deep into your mind. Just being a contrarian without doing all the work required to become a good contrarian wont get you any awards, you will just be wrong a lot.
Some are, some aren't.

Like the sibling, I've found Apple Watch to be totally reliable, but my Nokia Steel HR was not.

The visible difference is, when you flip the Steel over you see rapidly flashing green lights, when you flip the Watch over it looks like solid green, presumably flashing too fast to notice.

One gets two weeks between charges, the other one day. Guess which is which...

You could also open restricted system preference panes by searching for a relevant term in Spotlight and going to a User Guide article. Often they would have a link to open the preference pane which would bypass any restrictions.
The unpleasant truth is that if you live in a community whose members are not good people, you won't have good outcomes

Again, the quandary is that if you live in a community whose members are "good" people, you also won't have good outcomes. That's the nature of people. They are not "bad" or "good". They are just humans. Their actions are sometimes "bad", sometimes "good", but rarely are their actions consistently the one or the other. That's just the nature of being human. In fact, it's the entire reason we talk about "justice" in the first place.
Oooh, gonna be some fun trust scams in PoS world :-D
Ask HN: Electronics Enclosure Manufacturer in the US?
I need some high quality aluminum or ceramic enclosures built for a wearable consumer hardware prototype. I know of Catcher in Taiwan but that's it. The manufacturers I've been able to find in the US all make terrible looking enclosures.

More generally does the US have the means to create physical high fidelity hardware prototypes? We can handle the electronics and the software in house but the industrial design stuff I am having a really hard time nailing down.

> I was pointing out, that your note about the GP being hyperbolic is untrue - he was in the ballpark.

Essentially as in the ballpark as $80 is, both are off by 2.5x. Claiming they are “same order of magnitude, so it’s not hyperbolic” is laughable. $100k and $250k are both same order of magnitude, but are radically different prices, no?
Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Yes, but it's not configured automatically and things mess up when you switch from you monitor to your laptop. Also, gtk3 apps look blurry when upscaled sometimes.
Even more confusing, the 404 on GET is caused by doing the HEAD when the object doesn't exist. Without the previous HEAD, the GET would usually succeed.
Yesh, I'm so tired of the idea that AWS doesn't involve the same management overhead as any other server. It's so far removed from the truth that I wonder if they are shills.

How often do you try them?

Saying "Windows troubleshooters never work" will often lead to someone never trying Windows troubleshooters, which only reinforces the idea that they never work.

None of them are perfect, of course, and none of them will fix any given problem, but I always try them first, even if I have low hopes for success. Sometimes I am surprised. Sometimes I have to find a fix for myself.
>This can be a minefield. If you personally know something about the hobby this can work. But if you find yourself saying "The minimum wage employee at Best Buy told me this widget was the best one"

I've heard people talk about this online. For example, someone getting into record collecting being gifted the cheapest turntable available on Amazon or in a high street fashion/trinkets store that not only sounds bad but may even damage the records. A waste of money if the recipient is already saving up for a good turntable or already has one. Slightly less worse is receiving an original pressing of an old record but not taking enough time to read about the quality it's being sold in.

You can't exactly tell the gifter you spent 10x the cost of a Crosley on a phono preamp alone :)

To be clear: the "blowing up" would occur when a client observed the new maven-metadata.xml file, but old ("does-not-exist") records for the newly uploaded artifact, correct?

With this update, ordering the metadata update after the artifact upload means this failure is now impossible.

I applied to this job last month and the application status is "Not Selected" in the dashboard. I think I'd be a good fit for the position! I'm willing to negotiate on salary or whatever else may have been an issue.
There are also cons to being hated, like losing your job. Doesn't even have to be anyone at work hating you, if enough people hate you they will fire you anyway due to outside pressure.
I’m so happy that there isn’t anyone who gives me gifts. Read my lips: I don’t need more stuff in my house. Likewise, apart from spouse & child I don’t have anyone to buy gifts for. One less responsibility means more peace of mind.
Yes... tries, suffix arrays, sketching, cache oblivious data structures and algorithms, splay trees, persistent data structures, etc. are used in a wide variety of places ranging from compilers to compbio to distributed systems, to give some examples. I know I've written applications for which I wanted to use some of these to get a nice speedup, but in most cases I just never got around to them. Of course you'll find ones that are more obscure too. I'm not sure how to give a more useful answer to such a broad critical comment though...
FWIW Undo was one of the use cases when the Gang of Four described the command pattern all the way back in 1994.
I’d say yes if it’s something you enjoy rather than quick way to find a job because there are many fields with high and many times higher paying jobs that can be easier to get in other fields.
The story wasn't wrong, until today. That's why people are celebrating.
But the job needs to be done, so supply and demand comes into play. In a resource rich world Why should somebody doing a shitty job be paid low wages.

If you need the job done and because we are not resource constrained you are going to have to do something to make that job attractive. Maybe even address the things that make the job shitty or even do the work to automate it so the janitor can become a dancer like he always dreamed of.
You shouldn’t go to college to get your first job. You should go to get your fifth job. (Kind of paraphrasing a quote that I don’t remember who was from).

I studied economics, political science, and history at a liberal arts college. I’m a senior software engineer and can hardly imagine receiving much benefit from a CS degree.

Looking forward in my career, the stuff that’s quickly becoming more important is not the technical stuff (though I expect to stay on the technical track), it’s the communication, critical thinking, and analytical skills that were at the core of my college education. Could I have gotten those skills if I had majored in CS? Maybe, but I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much.

If I were to go to do college over again, expecting to have a similar yet more direct career, I would do things differently, but I still don’t think I would major in CS.

Of course, others may have different interests that would lead them to requiring a CS degree.
Customer Support.
I think I read somewhere that the water molecules are thought form semi crystalline structures from protein surface charges that contribute to their function; you could imagine these forming channels or some other mechanism to orchestrate the liquid around the protein to aid it's function (so it's not all random molecules bumping into the spots it needs to go). I have no references for this though.

Again, the flaw is that local people can be as corrupt as non-local people. I'm having a difficult time ascertaining a difference. In either case, a man is obliged to live under the tyranny of potentially corrupt people.

In fact, given the people, local or non-local, have power, it is a virtual certainty that there will be some level of corruption among them.
CrowdStrike has a lot of employees in Bucharest, take a look at their jobs?
There were modems for mPCIe and mSATA interfaces, there are for M.2 now. All HP Pro/Elitebooks I've seen had a 2nd mPCIe/mSATA interface on mobo for WWAN but the cheapest models might not have an actual slot soldered.
AmazFit (Xaomi basically) makes great long-battery devices that are cheap too. Not this cheap though.
It's both myopic and naive to assume there's a binary set of circumstances that lend an upper hand to self-hosting or cloud hosting.

It's a sliding scale. What makes you money? What's your expected growth? What are your security needs? What experience does your team have?

In this thread, people at each end of the scale are 1. conflating different use cases (wordpress is not the same as a massive, scaled data ingest pipeline) and 2. are ignoring the hidden costs of both.

Here's what I'd like you to understand: when you're talking to a large online audience, many of whom don't share your views, blasting them with extreme rhetoric has no persuasive value and does no good for the cause you care about. Indeed, it has an anti-persuasive effect and actually hurts the cause that you care about, as well as damaging the community here.
If you are just binding variables with early (before the last one that returns data) selects like that, just turning them into subqueries or factoring them out to CTEs works, which should be reasonably straightforward mechanically.
Ask HN: Hacker friendly” DOCSIS 2.0 modem?
This thread will likely go nowhere, thanks to the extremely niche requirements, but I’ll try regardless.

I’m about to restart a project related to DOCSIS, attempting to create my own modem. I have recently purchased a DOCSIS 2.0 CMTS for it (as these are the only affordable ones) and want at least one modem I know will work correctly.

Are there any modems or even companies known to manufacture modems that all relatively accessible as in they provide me with a shell that will allow me to explore, get verbose logs information, configure, etc. so that I can get this thing to work with my new CMTS. I don’t care about whether is accessible over SSH or if I have to hook onto a bus on the board to get to it. I’ve just had modems before where I have difficulty getting anymore than some log output off a UART and have killed some modems poking around too much. Ideally something I can pick up cheap as I just dumped a ton of money in this and some other projects.

Alternatively if anyone knows a more appropriate forum to ask this sort of things, please by all means let me know.

Proc macros are not a nightly only feature.
One doesn’t need to invoke platonic forms to assert that equality and fairness do exist as objective moral values and duties.

I agree that applying them in particular cases is inescapably subjective since judges are subject to human limitations. But in doing so, one ought to strive for objectivity as much as possible.

A good ruling is good insofar as it was able to preserve, despite the judge’s human limitations, fidelity to the law and to legal justice.
