Your job title/level/rank (“Principal Engineer”, “IC6”, ...) is what you’ve been deemed capable of (usually by doing it). But your role on a particular project is going to depend on what’s needed. Sometimes you’ll be the lead of the whole thing. Or the lead of a piece of it. Or just another contributor.

Some performance management systems are poorly designed to handle scenarios like this, admittedly.

Most of these are silly pedantry of the type that, IMO, turns people away from math and science by making it seem like you have to be interested in pointless, inconsequential distinctions and “gotcha” factoids to be good at science.

Unfortunately material like this also makes up a substantial fraction of what passes for science education in the US.
This is how I do it. I have a file called “dummy.zip” with and empty file in it that lives in the terraform repo and that zip goes in to S3 on initial apply then CI pushes the built zip to S3 and calls the lambda update command via the CLI.

I’ve not yet had to juggle changes to the live lambda but I put in the bits to make it stamp out an alias so I can start using specific aliases to ensure new versions don’t automatically get picked up by downstream invocations. All of that has yet to be put in to practice for real.
Not so much. The agencies are staffed with career professionals who are better equipped to do day-to-day and cumulative fact-finding. Congressional staff is spread thin over 535 representatives and senators and has huge turnover. I'd rather have the FAA doing line-item regulation than the Subcommittee on Aviation.

Having bought multiple hand sanitizers made by distilleries, I can report all of them used isopropyl, not methanol -- which certainly suggests the FDA did not require them to use methanol. And, someone else replied to you with the chapter and verse from the FDA explicitly saying the opposite of what you are.

Somebody may have this story backwards, but I don't think it's the person you're replying to. Where did you get your information?

This raises the question - what paid HTML tools are available today which are as easy to use and have similar capabilities as the old Adobe tools?
Just checking the article, it's a scraped auto-translation of a polish article: https://tvn24.pl/poznan/poznan-malze-filtruja-wode-sprawdzaj...

Holy cow! This is incredible! I laughed so hard when I saw the second ad. Thanks for sharing this, seriously.
The way that hackernews aggressively filters out all attempts at humour and the presence of americans really numbs the average commenters ability to detect sarcasm.

I regularly write but don't post comments because I know they'll be at -4 at least once or twice because people won't see I'm either solely joking or trying to play devil's advocate.
> What these people are really lamenting is the ease of authorship that Flash provided to non-technical users.

Yes, that's what we've been saying. And it was HTML5 boosters who said that when Flash died nothing of value would be lost, I'm pointing out their comparing a platform & authoring tools with a narrow tech stack.

And the Flash Authorship tools were absolutely NOT free. You had to pay hundreds of dollars for the Flash IDE (not that it stopped people from pirating it).

FlashDevelop was free, but that was not an Adobe product.
To be honest I found most of them to be fairly pedantic. I knew all except number 8 (Lorentz contraction is new to me), but all of them are of the style "might seem that way but technically..."

I didn't dislike the article though, that's not really what I mean to say. Was conveniently to the point and I can just lookup more about Lorentz contraction if I want to :)
Sabine is known for that kind of sense of humour. She is actually critical of the scientific elites.
You're not "Sorry", though. You're just dismissing me.

Not being able to conceive that I'm not overreacting doesn't mean that I can't conceive that I'm wrong. It means that I can't conceive that I'm overreacting.

I had a hard time responding to your first inquiry. I responded to your "Alternatively..." inquiry as an alternative. Instead of addressing what I could respond to you just dismiss me. That disappoints me.
I think /sarcasm takes something away from it. If I put that there, people don't have to actually think about the comment and what I meant, or their own reaction to it. Using /s tells them automatically, and allows a reflexive response for/against the comment that short-circuits actually thinking about it. I'll risk the downvotes, they don't bother me.

But I am curious about why people downvote, hence my follow up. Clearly some people will downvote a thing they disagree with, or is flame bait. But will they downvote a thing they might agree with, but it also worded as flame bait? That sort of thing. I really am curious about the various behavioral patterns involved in awarding internet points.

Becoming a SME in, let’s say Typescript (or for any statically typed language), for example easily takes 2-3 years unless you really excelled in type theory in college. Knowing the ins and outs of advanced types, generics, conditionals, etc and also having implemented these things to a degree where you can do it in your sleep.

No way a junior would be able to do that. Seniors have deep knowledge of the systems/technologies that they work in and are able to articulate that to more senior management on why using that particular thing is the way to go.

Obviously you want seniors to have more than just one (for both their sake and the organization) but it’s a mark that they’ve attained at least one technology that they’ve “leveled up” so to speak.
I understand your point better now. I think we were talking past each other.

Yes. Just recently I discovered that some web types refer to generating HTML from some other representation as "rendering". To graphics people, and artists, rendering is taking a description of something and turning it into a directly viewable picture. HTML is a long, long way from displayed pixels.

Come on. There's a big industry out there working to push game and entertainment content through the GPU and onto the screen. That's rendering.
Yup. It's all the same trash everywhere. Costco still curates.

I think convenience is a big factor. With Uber you can press a few buttons in the app, be swiftly picked up, taken to your destination, and continue on with minimal fuss. With public transit you must figure out the best route, wait for the next scheduled pick up, usually make multiple stops between your pickup and destination, and likely arrive much later than if you took an Uber.
Oh, is this a parody? It is a little too close to the source material, hah.
In a sensible world the FDA simply says "we're going to waive these fees this year and last".
Yeah we've arrived at the same page here. I think we actually agree about most everything.
Downthread someone has managed to cite the FDA specifically telling manufacturers not to include methanol.
I do get the reasoning, but it's still funny that we're using an infrastructure management tool to manage the thing that was supposed to relieve you from the burden
of infrastructure management.
"There’s a reason setting minimum wage to $100k a year doesn’t work."

Nice. Congratulations!

This is very much a hard barrier.

I guess it depends on your org but if you're required to do BA work, I find that the most challenging.

I see BERT as non sensical. You need to be scientific and have a mathematical theory on how humans learn language, which is a multi disciplinary task requiring physicists, mathematicians, neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists and linguists. Benchmarks are useless, theories, models, experiments and testable predictions is how science progresses. You’re making a comment on cognitive science, and trying to imply that language learning in humans isn’t learned, but pre baked. The psychological, linguistic, evolutionary biology and neuroscience evidence doesn’t seem to corroborate. The evidence points stronger to humans having general learning and problem solving abilities. For instance, there was no evolutionary pressure for humans to be good at math or programming. I was not born knowing english or calculus or probability theory, these were learned abilities. Evolution favoured brain mechanisms that lead to behaviour for success in a rapidly changing world. Had I been born in ancient Rome as a farmer, I would learn to speak Latin, and learn how to be a successful farmer, instead of the physics, math, probability, computer, driving, reading skills that I learned in my life time.
The proposal that people struggling to get between their second and third jobs are doing so by regularly taking cabs is an absurdity.

We’ve been using SAM with TF and I’m really not a fan of it and would prefer to move everything to TF early next year with the core infrastructure managed in the terragrunt way of folders of resource types (vpcs, dbs, etc) and having our code repos have a simple terraform file that instantiates a module and references the core remote states as needed because so far (knock on wood) we rarely have upstream changes to the lambdas configuration / parent environments themselves. Then we can dump SAM and everything can run in one spot in terraform cloud.

We don’t work in Python so I’ve not used Chalice but I’ll see if it can inspire our Go tooling.
I did not accept Chrome's "evergreen" functionality-- I didn't say that I don't use Chrome.

I continue to use various hobbled Chrome versions when circumstances dictate. I use Firefox when I can.

I wish I didn't need Chrome from time to time. If my underlying OS prevents me from hobbling Chrome I'll ultimately have to abandon Chrome (and probably the OS).

I agree with everything you said, but in our society as it is right now, I still believe it would be hoards of teenage kids. Maybe it's a local problem, but there are stores near me that put cough medicine behind the counter for this reason. So you're right, there are underlying dynamics that contribute to this behavior, but the behavior does exist.
"Bully"? As if people were supposed to specifically review licenses they create, whether they're compatible with every GPL clause. Nobody needs to care about GPL, it doesn't deserve special treatment.

Other licenses not compatible with GPL:

- Apache License (only version 2 is compatible and only with version 3 of GPL);

- GPL (v2 vs v3), as other comments already mentioned.

Are the authors of those licenses bullies? No. Nobody needs to care about your favourite flavour of copyleft.

> When you develop a habit of consuming violece - and enjoying it - those paths are real.

Except that's exactly what is up for discussion, and so far there is no evidence that this is the case. There's a big difference between muscle memory, neuroplasticity, and playing the piano than their is for sitting on the couch and consuming violent media.

> Pretending they don't exist doesn't make them magically disappear.

Saying they exist doesn't make them magically appear.

> Furthermore, human behavior is often learned for the collective

Yes, that's also how morals work. The more people are exposed to something, the more morally acceptable it becomes.

> Now please explain - not being snatky - how that's nonsensical.

Short witticisms like "you are what you eat" or "you are what you learn" are shallow and vastly underestimate the subjects at hand in exchange for a quick nod. Such as "we are greater than the sum of our parts".
I missed the early 2000 when flash based websites was so exciting. I found some crazy design with psychedelic color, futuristic robotic head, many part moving around with sound effects and music. On the eyes of teenager that's really cool.

Now I see the scene is different, may be someone can tell me where to find that kind of crazy, prototypey, futuristic website design?

Honestly it's kinda similar with the scene of winamp skin.

I tried to build the Eventbrite but for Zoom: if you hold online classes, meetings, etc. on zoom and you want people to sign up and receive zoom links periodically, create a page and we help you find audience.

Then I realized there are launched products with the same idea and the bigger problem: what if Zoom tries to do it? So I never completed the app.

Anyway, zoom.page is for sale ;)
Well, that’s not entirely true. Alpha go self played 29 million games of Go, which is in feasible for humans. Assuming a game of Go is 5mins, it would take a human 286 years to achieve the same, assuming this person doesn’t sleep, eat or do anything else other than just play Go. CPU time is an order of magnitude faster than real time, especially on GPU clusters.
Economically, people will not buy a car that sacrifices them in favour of others.
Interview Transcript – Donald Knuth [pdf]
> The businesses are being subsidized by the taxpayer.

The other way around with means-tested welfare, since the taxpayers would pay more if the worker was not employed.

> All setting a minimum wage at a subsistence pay does is stop the companies from mooching off the taxpayer.

No, it stops the business, the customers it would have, the would-be employee, and the taxpayer from benefiting from the mutually-beneficial exchange that would otherwise take place.

To the extent there is an abuse prevented, it's that it is limiting the ability of employers to exploit the inherent power imbalance of capitalism to suppress wages for jobs with worth above the minimum wage to below it. But basic income provides a more robust solution to that problem without also prohibiting work at any wage.
Thank you! We spent a lot of time on making this as easy to understand as possible.
A long chain of organisms perpetuated itself until the present day. Will keep you posted if the line continues.

Yeah, I'd give 30(realistically 15) years tops for AGI. And then we'll call it the end of history.

That is if we don't kill ourselves by making stupid mistakes.
When you figure out that the companies are using the resources of the state intelligence and security apparatus to do their bidding, you see the zero integrity nature of the "professional liars" in the IC, who often find it hard to refuse because of the blackmail material and leverage their employers have on them.

Given the nature of their work, I find it hard to see a situation where it doesn't become the corrupt degenerate swamp it is, unless it transforms to become radically open, transparent and accountable.

Given the vested interests benefiting from the current version, this seems unlikely to occur on its own. The cancer of secret corruption that has eaten that industry from the inside is the Achilles Heel of "Western liberal democracies".
> There is no free equivalent available targeting HTML/JS

I commented to the same effect elsewhere, but I would take this a step farther. There is no alternative, free or paid, Open Source or proprietary, targeting any platform (even just iOS or Windows) that is as good as Flash was at rapid prototyping and accessible game creation.

To me, the focus on the web is really frustrating. Unity is not as good as Flash was for rapid prototyping. Gamemaker is not as good as Flash was for animation. It's not the platform's problem that literally no one has found a way to merge animation, artwork, and programming in the same way as Flash did.

It's not that there's something awful about the web and that it ruined the ability to make that tool. Literally no one for any platform for any motivation has ever replicated Flash even just as a content creation tool.

So why are we talking about the web at this point? WebGL, Canvas, and WASM are powerful enough to replace Flash. That is not the issue anymore. I think when people touted the web as a replacement for Flash, there was an expectation that some company or Open Source initiative somewhere was going to make effective tools and that never happened. And instead of talking about the fact that the entire games industry has been unable to replicate Flash, we're attacking the Open web instead.

I agree that Flash was prematurely killed online, I agree that HTML advocates were too dismissive about the problems. But we are far past that point. The web kept its end of the bargain, the APIs exist, but nobody else built the necessary tools. We should be talking game engines right now, not the web.
Software is now literally everywhere, doing everything.

Picture if there was a website dedicated to Math News. Some articles talk about how amazing Tangents are. Some talk about Bayesian inference. It would be a mess.

Yes, Hacker News is a mess. That's pretty unavoidable. All conversations take place within a domain - a culture, a set of shared assumptions. And if you start talking with someone new, yes, it will take you quite a while to find out what assumptions they have that are different from yours.

Like, I wander in to an economics class, and they put the independent axis in the wrong direction.

I open up a computer graphics library, and it's using the left-hand rule.

One textbook says negative charge goes this way, and the textbook for a different course says it goes the other way.

Yes, people don't even understand that others MIGHT not understand their domain.

Yes, that is the world.

Adobe Animate costs 20$/month. I don't recall exactly how much Flash cost, but it sure wasn't that much. The barrier to entry is higher, thus popularity wanes.
The weird contrarian "actually Flash was good" takes I've been seeing all over today is absolutely bonkers. It's like these people think we weren't around when Flash was a thing or they just have rose colored nostalgia glasses on.

Flash was absolutely horrendous. Also, people keep talking about how easy it was to create stuff in it and how JS/HTML involves too much coding. This is more revisionist history - Flash had its own proprietary scripting language called ActionScript and you definitely needed to have some coding skill to do most things in Flash beyond basic animations.
I worked at lockheed for my first job as well. I found the flexible schedules to be great but less productive so I understand why others don't support it. Most of the engineers I worked with seemed to not be great at staying productive on 9 or 10 hour days any more then they were at 8 so I'd call it a net loss for the company. Honestly though there is so much bloat at defense contractors it doesn't really matter for them.
