This is the normal nomenclature in the field.
Was he the CTO as well? That’s who should really be fired (unless Matze hired the CTO in which case sack them both).

Yes, `apply` is hard. It's just as hard as deploying, maintaining, and turning down a service. When adding an `apply` command to a devops tool, the tool authors must think through the entire lifecycle of their service in the user's workflow and make it work well.

The tool creators are the ones with the knowledge to figure these things out. If they don't provide `apply`, then users must research and experiment and learn by making mistakes. This is a colossal waste of effort. Users end up with brittle poorly-documented scripts to do all the things that `apply` would do. These scripts cause ongoing waste of engineering effort, customer frustration from downtime, and lost business growth and revenue.

I spent several weeks making `apply` commands for InfluxDB [0] and Grafana. This proved extremely difficult for Grafana because of deficiencies in its API. Both InfluxDB and Grafana need some work to make them fit into a modern infrastructure-as-code ops environment. Grafana's cofounder and product lead were not interested in my feedback [1] [2].

Ask HN: Resources for people who already know how to code?
A common issue I run into when trying to learn about new technologies (for example, machine learning) is that the material often assumes the reader doesn't know very much. This leads to a lot of time spent on basic things (like for loops or the basic memory management)

What do you guys use to learn about new technologies/languages? Kind of like learnxinyminutes but more in-depth.
Considering that the demoscene comes from warez scene and still have ties with it, a formal copyright claim against this site would be extremely ironic, and as someone else mentioned, lame.

It's not fully self driving.

From their README[1]:

Currently, openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automated Lane Centering (ALC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) for a growing variety of supported car makes, models and model years. In addition, while openpilot is engaged, a camera based Driver Monitoring (DM) feature alerts distracted and asleep drivers.

> the US has reported 27,101,847 cases of COVID19 and 460,398 deaths, giving a CFR of about 1.70%, so that's about right.

That's if we catch every case with testing. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but I've heard estimates of 25%-50%. The death toll also lags total cases 2-4 weeks.

Thanks for you interests on GraphScope!

We do have a concrete plan for k8s-less deployment and we already have an issue [1] to track that. That will be available before the end of March 2021.

To simplify the environment setup process we will release a docker image for end-users, but without docker will be ok as well (requires building from sources).

GraphScope use vineyard [2] as the storage layer for im-memory graph data structures. And current the graph type (aka. ArrowPropertyFragment in GraphScope) uses a set of arrow tables and arrays under the hood.

GraphScope supports a `to_vineyard_dataframe` method on the computation context [3]. We also has a plan for integration between vineyard and dask (may could be delivered in March as well). At that time the interop between dask would be straightforward.

That is the promise they sold it on.

But, point me to a single ISP that gives a cable subscriber more than one IPv6 address. or a /48 as initially everyone was hopping.

ISP profit from NAT. They will never get rid of it. Even if you get a /54 /64 the ad networks will just learn to assign /54 as they do today.

But, another point, ipv4 today is barred from being used to form your advertising profile under current legislation.

Was the phrase open-source actually used in the generic way you describe within the industry, prior to OSI coming on the scene? Im not sure that it was, but i could be wrong. Regardless, the definition is pretty fixed now.

Nonetheless, you're right, words are hard, and this isn't a new argument about the suitability of the term "open source". RMS makes a similar point about the term in this rather old essay: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

I guess what the OP means is that one definition of memory is that it is generated by your experiences. In this case the memory is the lack of experience (with a spider), because those genes keep you away from spiders. So it is possible that you can develop the RNA without seeing a spider, hence the opposite of memory.

> The left literally treated the last 4 years as an election fraud scandal that they refused to shut down.

Hi, I'm "the left", at least for the purposes of this conversation. The left did no such thing. I tried to get us to do so because there was clearly a fraudulent election. But it didn't matter what I said, the left didn't want to hear none of it. They were more concerned (legitimately) about Russophobia and not giving too much legitimacy to the alphabet soup agencies.

Playing devil's advocate, how is Google & Chrome different from, say, Apple & App Store? Thinking about iOS like a browser, arguably what Privacy Sandbox does is not that different from iOS 14's AppTrackingTransparency Framework. Both require the operator of the internals not to abuse their position for there to be fair play.

The most generous thing I could say is that it feels different. However, Apple has a stronger hold on iOS than Google has on the web. On the web, at least you could switch to another browser to view the same content. Switching off iPhone requires a whole new ecosystem and hardware.

I hope people who argue for a certain treatment of Google in this case are at least consistent in the Apple case.
I've had mostly good experience with asdf except last month when I tried to get it working on an m1 Mac. Eventually gave up and just brew installed everything (erlang, elixir, nodejs, java. New work laptop that only needed one version of everything for now). There's an open issue on the project for support.

Later on I ran into still more problems on the m1 and convinced a project manager to take it and got an Intel Mac instead and back to blissful working asdf.

You could speak, and it could be written down and hit the papers, where you were interviewed and reported - by an announcer/reporter.Then comes Radio - again a reporter/announcer, same with TV. In other words a chain of accountability where you could be assessed, and if deemed a criminal incitement there was accountability. Then the Internet and cellular message services, and you could become widely spread in an instant - your words beyond recall, and often anonymous. Even if they wanted to arrest you - they had no connection to you. They could kill your handle, and you could get another throwaway 100 times/day. You can get 100 lined up, with innocent handles and use each one once. We see how some countries completely shut down facebook and other internet data flow centers - harder to do in the USA, but when it gets so bad that the Capital was attacked and people killed it attracts a need to limit incitement.
It used to be a masked man could not enter a bank - in Covid times it happens a lot.
I expect there was a paralyzed board at Parler and when Matze could not make changes that the web hoster or other internet access controlling group, like AWS would accept and no acceptable other could not be found on terms that AWS would accept, and that Parler could also accept = he was toast.

The incompetence is really astounding, politics aside.

If they were behind Cloudflare or another DDoS protection website, you wouldn't even be able to tell they were an AWS customer at all.

That coupled with their multi-million dollar monthly infrastructure bill and I'm scratching my head. The site seems like it was built by outsourced lowest bidder contractors and they scaled by throwing blank checks at the problem.

You apparently didn’t bother reading the lawsuit and how closed schools hurt the “brown” and “black” students that the board and union are supposedly for. Nor did you read it stating how private schools have been safely open for many months even prior to the vaccines. This is the left SF government sueing the even more left SF school board!

Did you read about how the mayor is for reopening and governor is for school reopening across the whole state? This fight with school boards and teacher unions is going across the whole state. It isn’t just SF schools that are closed.

People are increasingly dissatisfied with them for the public schools remaining closed. There is a recall effort against the governor.

Sure doesn’t sound like a local governance issue. 40 million people, 5th largest economy in the world. Sure sounds like the left destroying itself.
Done right how? Practically every way that generics can be done is already done (C++, Java, C#, and Zig cover practically all bases). It seems very hand wavy for some people to say they want it done right, as if there's a magical way that hasn't been invented yet that will find its way into golang, which is known for being a language from the 70s as far as features go.
edit: immediate settlement is profoundly beneficial for a brokerage. imagine a single trade on the robinhood app, there is counterparty risk between the retail trader and rh and there is a separate counterparty risk between rh and the marketmaker. the two risks perfectly offset at the point of trade, but deteriorate as the market moves further away from the trade price. over several days, the loss probability can become completely lopsided. under instant settlement conditions, the counterparty risk is neutralized immediately.

as a side note, the ficc (which is the fixed income part of the dtcc) already does intraday matching. this is not, as i understand it, exactly settlement, but a pure flow brokerage, lets say, can net down their two-way exposures to reduce margin. this mollified the margining requirements surge in march 2021 when gov bond vol increased 3-4x.
Based on reading HN, maybe 1 in 10 commentators here know what the 7/8th clause was, but this is truly the most magical misinterpretation I have seen.

Here are some fun incorrect varieties:

* Prop 22 needs 7/8 of legislators to vote against to repeal

* Prop 22 needs 7/8 of Californian voters to vote against to repeal

* Prop 22 needs 7/8 of Californians to modify

And now, this profound version

* Californian legislators can pass laws that require 7/8 majorities to repeal and AB5 is one of them
ALSA is just the kernel layer

Just one point about ALSA; most of it actually lives in userspace. The ~/.asoundrc file can specify complex routing and mixing, including the use of LADSPA filters. What's done is done, and pulseaudio is reasonably usable now, but IMO we'd be much better off if the work that went into Pulseaudio and jackd instead went into the ALSA userland.
They had a backup plan for getting kicked off AWS, supposedly, but the backup plan terminated their relationship with Parler before AWS did.

I can imagine Parler also might have some problems attracting the kind of talent needed to run a site like that.
It sounds like they had prepared to move from AWS to another mega-provider like GCP or Azure. The site is too large (and probably poorly optimized) to just spin up a few DO droplets.

According to your profile you are an attorney and so I feel you already fully understand this, but red state abortion laws do not make exceptions for the mother's health. They state clearly that after a point in time, the life of the unborn child is to be considered equally valid as the life of the mother. The health of the mother is not considered the first priority.

Abortion should be a medical decision. If a doctor is lying about the medical necessity of an abortion, that is illegal and they should lose their medical license and potentially get prison time. Same if they are giving out pills without necessity. Same if an attorney is caught illegally concealing evidence. I don't understand how it is relevant that you can find dirty doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. Or how the 1900s are related.
1. I think Apple wields a questionable monopoly with regards to the App Store. I think that they should be required to allow third party stores, at minimum, on the iPhone. I am very much hoping Epic wins their case here, and that we have a more open field on iOS in the future.

2. Apple's new privacy changes require that apps solicit user permission before doing any tracking. However, once the user has granted that, app developers are allowed to either use Apple's solution or their own.
If you'd written the post with that second paragraph, i.e. provided a basis for your opinion, I wouldn't have replied that way.

As it was written, though, no basis was provided. The opinion was congruent with that of people who believe economics is zero-sum, which is what I inferred you meant from "shitty means".

As for me, although I've personally met Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates, and Paul Allen, I hardly know them. I have read their biographies, and the biographies of many American billionaires, and would not agree that any of them came by their wealth through "shitty means".

The term "shitty means" isn't exactly an economic term, and I'd be curious what you mean more specifically. I'll start by saying an ethical way to become a billionaire is by providing a product or service that people are happy to pay for. Gates, Ballmer, Allen, Jobs, Bezos, Musk, etc., all fit into that category.

I'll close by apologizing to you.

> Locality and the pride of the local team. Do you cheer for your country's Olympic team?

The big difference is that members of the Olympic team are citizens of the country, so the connection to you is clear (one of your "own" is doing well), while that's not the case for local teams. Often, they're not even from the same country (ex. lot of players for Canadian NHL teams are from the US, and vice versa).

So the only local part is the shell itself. Sounds vaguely related to "Ship of Theseus" I suppose.

Believe it or not, real estate owners back in the day were willing to sell their house in installments without upping the price. So neither of your suggestions apply.

Even with interest and predatory loans, people today are not buying properties until later anyway, so that's not really an argument.

Secondly, in Islam the government has duties to perform, including providing good quality of life to its citizens, something we don't see done by so many governments today. Housing goes under this.

> if you have a short squeeze and the supply is limited because of people holding their shares, the stock would basically go to infinity.

Whoa whoa whoa. This is a slippery slope argument.

If everybody is holding their shares as in your scenario, then the only way to buy shares would be to get them from a short seller. Market-makers typically have an obligation to maintain continuous and two-sided quotations, but there are exceptions to this rule in mitigating technical or legal circumstances (solvency risk seems like it would be a valid exception).

If nobody is selling and everyone is buying, the price ought to go higher. That is what happens in unadulterated markets. But the price won't go to "infinity." Rather, it will go to the level at which long holders decide the payoff for selling is irresistible. They will begin to sell. A new price will be set.

It is true that some hedge funds (including Melvin) would potentially have been ruined if the natural buyers had been permitted to bid for the stock. However, exchanges don't halt securities just because a hedge fund is about to go under. That is a fundamentally unfair practice. Hedge funds have failed in the past, too; not every market participant is Too Big To Fail. Their PB would be left to cover the short position, and would be responsible for whatever loss remains after the hedge fund goes broke.
