Ok, but please don't be a jerk on HN.

Edit: it looks like we've had to ask you this many times. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the intended spirit of this site more to heart? I don't want to ban you, but comments like this poison the community here.
That doesn't work when everyone working for the government are corrupt. Do you think some boss of the guy who leak something don't know about it? Nah, he does and he get his share of profits; then pays share to his boss; etc.

The only way you can get to high position in police or special agency hierarchy is by corruption: either by family connections or just paying a lot of money.
I really think that if they gave up all the complicated algorithms and went with a simple algorithm out of the 90s we'd be much happier with the recommendations.
Err you know SCRUM DSDM RAD or what have you explicitly prioritise speed over all and its not a 121 replacement for waterfall
I especially like the histogram with the per-month bins. It shows clearly both the tendency of developers to leave over time and the fluctuation due to release cycle.

The affiliation graph is also interesting. I think if I were to put a number on how much I liked GNOME in each year, there would be an inverse correlation with the percentage of developers that come from Red Hat (with 1999 being an outlier -- I was a fan of both Red Hat and GNOME back then).
That's because there's basically no example of advanced economies that are not regulated by government. It's not the regulation that makes monopolies happen, it is that regulations only exist in markets which could support monopolies.
Yes, this is also the case for German. If you use the individual components separately, that will often mean sometimes slightly differen, but most of the times using separate words won't make any sense at all.
As an immigrant coming to America, honestly the most shocking and surprising thing (apart from the state of homeless in San Francisco being tolerated as normal) is the medical care expenses. How on Earth is it that I can walk into a doctor's office or hospital to get medical treatment and have no idea how much it's going to cost? $10? $100? $1000? Who knows. I had an ear infection once, went to the doctor who looked at it for a minute and said "give it a few days". I assumed this would cost maybe $20 or something? Nope. $400. There's just no way of even knowing. In no other industry would you buy something without knowing the price ahead of time. With medical care it's even more screwed up because, well, it's your health? You're generally more desperate for services now, so it's not like shopping around for clothes or something.
Hey, been meaning to reach out.

There's a bit in the Metaflow docs that talks about choosing resources, like RAM: "as a good measure, don't request more resources than what your workflow actually needs. On the other hand, never optimize resources prematurely."

The problem is that for memory, too little means out-of-memory crashes, so the tendency I've seen is to over-provision memory, which ends up getting very expensive at scale.

This choice between "my process crashes" and "I am incentivized to make my process organizationally expensive" isn't ideal. Do you have any ways you deal with this at Netflix, or have you seen ways other Metaflow users deal with it?

I have some ideas on how this could be made better (some combination of being able to catch OOM situations deterministically, memory profiling, and sizing RAM by input size for repeating batch jobs), based in part on some tooling I've been working on for memory profiling: https://pythonspeed.com/fil, so would love to talk about it if you're interested.
Why do you think there are so many posts about people wanting to leave California?

Do you think it's really all about taxes? It's not.

The prevailing rhetoric of California being "bad" is mostly political and has racist anti-liberal roots.

By shutting down counter views you're allowing those racist viewpoints to prosper.

And by the way, none of your rhetoric counters what is historical fact.

The plurality of California are not Hispanic by pure accident.

Lastly, it should be possible to have a rational discussion about demographics on this site without people over reacting and name calling.
> I do realize `bash` also has `splat splat`, now.

To put a date on that: Since Bash 4.0 in 2009.

Which is ~forever since you tried zsh in 1993, but is also ~forever ago now.

As for when zsh got it: It had "..../" in 2.0 (maybe before), that got changed to "<four splats>/" in 2.1.0 (1992?), and that got shortened to "<two splats>/" in 2.2.0 (1996?).
I have built a react app to be mounted inside an existing angular app (not my idea) it was... Interesting
How is that not a "free market"? Private, corrupt back room business deals dictate the prices that screw over patients. It's entirely determined by the private market. That sounds like a free market to me.
Keynes forgot about greed. He thought after making workers 2.5x more efficient the machine would be happy with still making 1x the product.

Ok? None of them look like books whose goal is to prove that racism exists. With a book title like, "How to be an Antiracist", I would think anybody would understand that the target audience is people who are well past questioning whether racism is still a thing. It's like expecting a cookbook to open with studies on why meals are a good idea.
What risks are you referring to?

I'm taking sertraline (zoloft) now, and the only negatives I'm experiencing are slightly reduced libido and jaw clenching/grinding. I've started occasionally wearing a night guard while sleeping, and not really minding the decreased libido since dating during a global pandemic is outside of my acceptable risk tolerance.

I've also taken Lexapro and had good results with that, too.

The benefits are I was able to actually feel pleasure and enjoy things again. At my worst I was suffering from severe anhedonia -- literally finding no pleasure in any activity. Nothing I previously enjoyed brought any modicum of happiness: not food, not sex, not exercise, not work or side projects. It's a dangerous state to be in because when literally nothing in life brings joy you can slip into destructive choices.

The benefits of feeling better vastly outweighed any minor side effects of antidepressants.

There are some people, especially teenagers, who can become suicidal when taking antidepressants. But it's very rare and your psychiatrist will help you find a drug that doesn't cause those feelings.
The final sentence of the linked article is this:

> But it’s important to keep in mind that so far the bulk of the evidence still points towards dark matter, and it’ll take much more work to topple that hypothesis entirely.
I guess it suggests Facebook is aware of the situation and can't claim ignorance.
I find this to be a questionable interpretation of the actual data. The TRE in-person group lost more than double the amount of percentage weight than the control group. The reason that it is not statistically significant is that the P value is too high, but that is to be expected from a study with such few participants.
I feel somewhat the same way, but I also wonder whether the same project with a different name would have been successful.
Along this line, another shower thought: Could it be delocalized (ie very widely spread out) electron wave functions?
This is a great answer, thank you for sharing!
Last week, I shared a 35 line ~/.emacs (as a Show HN post) that turns Emacs into a Common Lisp development environment pretty quickly: https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl .

It provides a good middle ground between configuring Emacs manually by installing SLIME, Paredit, etc. yourself with M-x package-install commands and installing Portacle. It promotes a do-it-yourself approach to setting up Emacs for Common Lisp programming quickly while understanding each step of the set up process and each line of ~/.emacs well.
Yeah I agree the name is misleading and it doesn't cover all situations. My specific situation both times was ER rooms with out of network doctors, but I agree that there can be many other situations where the law is not that helpful. My personal opinion is those would be better managed by a single payer system like they have in many other countries. I haven't looked at the federal law close enough to know if it covers cases other than out of network doctors.
the orphan drug issue is a result of pharmaceuticals being very much not a free market. consider how absurd it is that you can jack up the price for a product you don't even have a patent for by several thousand percent and still have it be uneconomic for anyone to undercut you. to me, this implies more of an issue with the overall regulatory environment than individual profit-seeking behavior.
Just plug it in at a supercharger.
Setting up a decent, comprehensive, self-hosted (!) ML environment is still extremely, frustratingly difficult.

What I really want is a single solution, or a set of pluggable, integrated components that offer:

* training data and model storage (on top of a blob store like S3, minio, ...)

* interactive dev environments (Notebooks, dev containers, ...)

* training (with history, comparisons, parameters, ...) with experiments for parameter tuning

* serving/deploying for production

* a permission system so researchers and developers can only access what they are supposed to

* software heritage, probably via Docker images or Nix packages, combined with source code references

* (cherry on top: some kind of integrated labeling system and UI)

Right now you have to cobble this together from different tools that are all pretty suboptimal.

The big players can set up sophisticated systems, but I'm curious to hear how other startups are currently solving this.
they are terrible because they are too less. other than that i would rather get treated in a government run hospital because they employ only the most capable of doctors, senior and otherwise.
the problem isnt in the doctors. its infrastructure.

i think people got my comment wrong way. i am very much in support of these hospitals. just that i want them to be in every major district rather than being restricted to major cities. its not like these places would remain empty
Just for the reference:

Serfdom in Russia was officially ended in 1861. Slavery in the US was ended in 1865.
So I am not sure what "worst human rights situation" are you talking about. This is without even taking into consideration bunch of other countries with horrible abuse of humans. King Leopold anyone? Singling out Russia in this department is a hypocrisy.

I found, being self-employed for a long time, that hardly anybody inside or outside the medical establishment understands how much health insurance costs for the self-employed (and what little you actually get for it). My first thoughts re: anything health-related are always costs. The treatment one receives from medical provider when they ask about costs is really degrading, too. (Try asking what a procedure for your _child_ will cost-- you really get treated badly for that.)
Consider Shopify and Github both have been testing on 3.0 and Rails Master.

I say it is pretty good.
I turned on "Super Wings" for my kid to watch on Prime Video which at first glance seemed to be a fairly decent Paw Patrol knock off, but then as I listened to the episodes in the background, I realized that the entire show is basically an advertisement for Amazon Prime in disguise. Seriously look it up, the entire premise of the show is people ordering packages and the "Super Wings" delivering the packages to the consumer as quickly as possible...

I can’t find any source that attributes over 60,000 deaths to the flu in France in January 2017. In fact, that’s close to 4x the most commonly reported figures for the whole 2016/2017 flu season in France. What numbers are you basing that claim on?
I knew someone who was retired FBI, who offered his services to me. He had said he could get phone records or bank account information on anyone, anywhere in the world. I don't know if he was blowing smoke, but this was apparently how he made money after retirement.

It had sounded like former agents of all different countries have access and relationships with even adversarial countries' agents.
I mean, all the comments I got were not about my main points at all.

"No you should do this because of that" is not a valid argument when both "this" and "that" only exist because you created them. If vcenter was part of the original spec, we would have it because the browser publishers would have made sure they fulfilled the specs. We have yet to have it. We are being told valign is a complex feature, and we just accept it.

But you should always model your specs based on use case, because that's who you're serving. Anything less than that is ego and dogma driven development.

And to me, the most disappointing and damning evidence was that w3c does not even author their own web site. They are not users.

Being from MIT, I could only imagine how fun a student driven implementation effort could be, and they'd do it for free. I was not alone in 1999 building web pages in an Athena cluster.

Not sure why writing on HN is so often a negative experience. Not sure why I keep doing it.
Authorities are really useful ways to understand the world.

The vast majority of people would be more correct about the world if they aligned with scientific consensus.

One problem is that journalistic coverage of ideas isn't proportional to beliefs held by experts in that field. Which gives the impression science is constantly changing, and that fringe theories are more widely held than they are.

That's why it's so important for people familiar with the field to help the rest of us who aren't know what "the field considers this a wacky idea".
This is one reason I hate Scrum. Companies that (I've worked for) have really tried to implement it don't understand that sometimes you just won't be as productive. It's always, "Well you committed to it...." They can't (or don't want to) understand those miracles they want their employees to perform comes at a cost. It means those people are less productive at times while they are exploring an idea or they are just exhausted. If they just want someone to do the minimum set each sprint, that's fine, just don't expect anyone to walk on water when you need to be saved.
It means there are Facebook pages/groups coordinating their followers to mass report posts or persons deemed "reactionary". These pages/groups mostly held pro-government viewpoints, although I can't comment on whether they have direct affiliation with the government or not. From what I've seen, many Facebook profiles gets locked after such campaigns. I assume a profile is automatically locked when the reports reach a certain threshold, and it can be very difficult to get it unlocked, since you need to contact Facebook directly.

From the article itself:

> Private groups filled with government partisans coordinate takedown campaigns — or worse — against any views deemed “reactionary” by the Vietnamese state, [...]

> The Intercept was able to gain access to one such closed-door Vietnamese censorship brigade, named “E47,” where it’s obvious, through Facebook’s apparent indifference, that the company has failed its users terribly.
Well, comparing m43 cameras with full frame is like comparing Phase 645 sensor with FF cameras. M43 cameras are really nice and lightweight but have their own limitations.

All the Leica m43 glass are so called Pana-Leica glass: Panasonic designed and manufactured but Leica rubber stamped. They still are really nice glass, though :)

Disclaimer: used Olympus 4/3 and m43 for reaally long time but the mirrorless full frame gear feels so much better in the closely same sized package.
I didn't mean to suggest that there shouldn't be the option to freely chose alternative treatment options under a free market model, in cases where you're not happy with what a single payer model would cover.

Rather my point was that when you need urgent or critical medical care there should be a baseline assurance of a solution to your predicament as you may not be in a position to shop around.

Your analogy with restaurants is not a good one, since you are unlikely to be in a situation where you're about to starve to death, and the only restaurant in town has 3 Michelin stars, grocery stores don't exist, and passers-by are not qualified to give you food :)
The thing about self hosting too is that you then own your identity. I have had my own domain and email for 20 years now while many "free" email services have gone away or merged. The problem as you say with difficulty is that due to the centralization of email providers, it is hard to get your outgoing mail accepted everywhere. I now have no problems but it took a while. The worst were Yahoo and Verizon straight up denying my email as spam despite having DKIM/SPF/DMARC set up perfectly. These things too there are subtle problems that can make them invalid such as hostname differences.
> until you start listening to politicians who have a vested interest in making the general public believe such things

FTFY

People "love their health insurance" when they have it forever through their employment, and feel safe in their position.

80% of people in the US, including 50% of Republicans, support M4A precisely because they are not part of the upper-crust minority who are afforded such luxuries.
We will have some very interesting textbooks about the mainstream public response to this in 50 years, I'm sure.
I think too many people get up in arms about privacy but when push comes to shove, these smaller people will most likely cave to governments.

I think HN just dislikes the idea of google maintaining a service.
Imagine the shit storm if Google made "safe" paths.
>> If there was ala-carte transparent pricing and no insurer lockouts things may be a bit better.

Posted prices, and provider always charges that price weather its paid by insurance or not. Then insurance companies can compete on how much they cover at what premiums.
(I work at YC)

Yes, we care a lot about making employee equity more generous and more fair. Part of our YC curriculum now is teaching founders about these issues and encouraging them to follow best practices around being generous and transparent with employees about equity compensation like Sam discussed in his blog post.

I think there is still a lot more we can do, though.
One of my primary design goal was something like that: "My mother should be able to use this tool to calculate/plan her vacation expenses". (My mother is older and not a tech guru you can guess :))
So the primary focus are on simple calculations with meaningful context and immediate feedback. Nothing fancy.

Though, beside that, I think it provides some nice features. E.g. the matrix creation/editing functionality was born because I could not find a simple tool to double check my rendering calculations with.
Detergent packs are kinda wishy-washy

I kept reading your comments above till reach here. Your knowledge about Autism is pretty narrow and region-centric. No one considers taking drugs and shaking as Sufiism. It's opposite of that. Sufism is all about self discovery and connecting to God with Dikr. The Dikr as described as in Quran as satisfaction of heart.
The 70's, into the 80's, more or less began the long-term decline of interest rates in general, but also specifically for the 30 year mortgage. With multiple factors influencing what people are willing to pay for a home, I question how much we can separate out the dual-income household effect.

I wouldn't say it has no influence, but it's probably difficult to state with much precision how great the effect is.

The last Chrome release related to this was in September: https://blog.chromium.org/2020/09/chrome-86-improved-focus-h... where they safelisted a number of protocols in registerProtocolHandler().
I recommend checking out Conducto. It handles dependencies well by leveraging Docker and it is very easy to get started. It can also handle super complicated pipelines that required scaled up processing by just changing one input on the command line.
In the UK, through Section 49 of RIPA, if you refused to provide your password to police you will get arrested for 2 years just on that. If they claim it could be national security related, you get 5 years.
Even in Ruby, no one uses loops, they use Enumerable. Eliminates off-by-1 errors!

Reduce (inject, etc.) are tricky to understand at first but once you do, you realize the power in it. Granted, it’s harder to understand than loops, but loops with iteration and mutability get you into a lot more trouble.

It sounds like you’re simply not over the learning curve yet.
Had a recent data science experience where the exploratory part of the project was shoehorned into a micromanaged scrum framework. Apparently they discarded their task tracker entirely the same week I left.
I worry that it will lead to much worse treatment on top of that.

Even if it's a non-emergency, getting the prices up front will cause a lot of people to chose to either go untreated or to delay treatment until a problem becomes far worse.

Just having prices available does nothing to improve the costs. People with type 1 diabetes know the cost of insulin. Has that prevented it's price from moving to levels that many can't afford?

It doesn't matter if the costs are known up front when drug manufactures end up with patent help that allows them to gouge. When medical devices are often produced by very few manufactures. When hospitals enjoy local monopolies.

The thought that the only thing missing from keeping medical prices down is the price tag is just absurd.
So we would have transitioned to IPv6 already; it’s not necessarily a bad thing. We’re going to run out regardless.
