I agree that if you aggregate opinions from a bunch of people, you're going to find inconsistencies. Using that to point out the intellectual incoherence of their position is a flawed argument.

But maybe I'm not trying to refute these "Elect" intellectually. Maybe I'm just trying to live my life. Their diverse opinions means that there is nothing I can do to keep them from yelling at me and trying to destroy me. Forget whether it's coherent or not; forget whether within the spread of their opinions there is a credible intellectual position or not. Collectively, they have created a game at which I can only lose.

So to them I say: Forget that. I'm not going to play your game.

In terms of the actual effect on society (and people in society), the contradictions matter. To steal a phrase from a former co-worker, dealing with the "Elect" as a group is like dealing with a psychotic.

(Note well the "as a group". I am not saying that the members of the group are psychotics. I'm saying that the group as a whole interacts something like a psychotic.)
> In some ways, homosexual men might very well cluster away from females, even more so than heterosexual men.

Aren't we back to what the person I was originally replying to would describe as "dangerous stereotypes"?

The point I was trying to make is that the only thing you can say about homosexual men without invoking stereotypes is that they are attracted to men. And in a statistical sense, that is a feminine characteristic.
Yes, this article seems to have it all. Djokovic, Federer, a cute baby, and with promises of great philosophical thoughts. I would love to read it but unfortunately I actually can't afford it. Oh well. Looking forward to the comments.

Thanks! We are aware of the CNCF landscape. As you mentioned, most of the products are point solutions which need to be combined to build an end to end solution. What we found was that combining different point solution tools can be non-trivial and some times they don't talk well with each other - making correlation between different tools difficult.

For example, what were the traces responsible when p99 latency of a service crossed a threshold. This would be non trivial to do if traces and metrics are in different systems. And that's why solutions like DataDog are popular as they provide a single pane of view. Our motivation is to make such a 'single pane of view' tool in open-source.
Any argument becomes easier if you're willing to dismiss data to base it on.

Ask HN: Which collaborative Markdown editor app?
I’m struggling to find a markdown editor that would fit my needs and wanted to ask fellow HN readers about their experience.

What would I use this editor for:

- note taking: regular note taking for writing down observations, ideas, plans, etc.

- documentation editing: create and edit documentation for various software projects

Features I’d need:

- supporting markdown (would be great if Github flavored markdown is supported as well, but this is not a must)

- WYSIWYG editor (so event tech illiterate people could contribute with writing some documentation)

- support git for storage, including revisions, either natively or through a plugin/add-on

- links graph view

- mind map editor and/or graph editor

- optional encryption would be great

Also, should be cross-platform, or at least to be available on Linux and MacOS.

I have tried many editors so far and none felt good enough.

The best one, at least feature-wise was the GitNote app [0]. It ticks all the boxes above but the UI is not fully in English (parts of the UI are in Chinese, despite setting the app for English language) and it’s kind of “clunky” - the UI is not intuitive enough for documents creation, I cannot save mind maps and graphs I create (I get some explanation in Chinese, but it’s not much of a help to me).

Others do tick some of the boxes above very well, but are lacking either Git integration or other features. The best have been Joplin [1] (lacking git, which would be a must for me) and Obsidian [2], which are both really great as editors, but they do lack a lot of the things I need.

Should I also consider TiddlyWiki [3] for the requirements above? It’s not markdown, I know, but seems able to support most of the other requirements. I just won’t be able to preview the written docs in Github/Gitlab web app.

+1 for Grafana together with Loki and Prometheus. This saved us so much trouble. We thought about using DD first but the costs were so intransparent.

> The left-left doesn't think of a few "leftovers of racism" as much as "eternal and adaptive vigilance" against a "deeply racist quasi-religious civic cult" of American meaning that identifies with the founders.

No, the antiracist left (which is not the same as the “left-left”; the relation between degree of leftism and priority to antiracism is not simple) thinks of significant (but relatively smaller compared to what was present before—for most of the antiracist left, there's diversity on this point to be sure) remaining racist features supported and defended by a deeply racist quasi-religious civic cult, which has been deliberately constructed by reactionaries, as I said, in response to and as a means to block further progress on race issues.
And their VPN service is a steal!
I think the point is that these people just sound like they are barking up the wrong tree. They're bitching at a non-profit org who gives away their services for free for not doing things exactly the way they want. And then getting self-righteously upset when said non-profit bans them for acting in an abusive manner.

> The tone is not more important than the facts. It never is.

This is 100% wrong. Tone does matter. If you want someone to do something for you, acting entitled and insulting them usually isn't going to get you where you want to go. Unfortunately straight facts don't sway hearts and minds. That is just how human psychology works. I wish it were different, but wishing does not make it so (speaking of facts!).

The Signal team does not owe these people a way to conduct private secure conversations. Yet they are working on it anyway, because they believe it's the right thing to do. And I bet it's pretty demotivating for a bunch of people to come and tell them that they're doing it wrong and their current interim efforts are useless. No one is owed an explanation or dialogue from the Signal team, and behaving aggressively in order to demand one is about the most unproductive thing they could do.
Grafana, for long, has been used to monitor time-series data and recently has been moving towards observability (including traces and logs). We are different in quite a few fronts.

1. There are specific observabilty specific UI widgets like serviceMap, SLOs and error budgets, I don't know whether Grafana provides it now. Also, last I used Grafana, linking and moving from one dashboard to another is still a pain. You can get a better idea of how different observability UI can get from Grafana by looking into LightStep demo.

2. We can run aggregated on filtered traces. Eg, I can get 99th percentile response time of a tag say payment_channel. am afraid this can be extracted from traces by Grafana.

3. SigNoz is easily extendible by adding your stream processing application to slice n dice data in your own way

I took it that social media was the primary way under 40 white males were being told they were racist or were seeing others being called racist.

Specifically I recall the many posts I've come across to the effect of "I used to be X but the community of Y caused me to become Anti-X".

I'm an under 40 white male who doesn't feel doomed to an existence of being a racist so I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be seeing this?

Prost and Senna were the classic manga blue and red characters. They played their roles well, to the end.

That said, as a teenager, F1 was this weird motorsport that played live on Sunday afternoon, that my uncles enjoyed to watch after a family lunch. The siesta sport. As a French, I don’t remember Alain Prost or Ayrton Senna being comparable sport stars to football, tennis or even cycling celebrities in the late eighties.
Eternally valid advice it is
Thanks - I'm not particularly stressed about sounding 100% idiomatic as long as I get the point across (and am not flat out wrong). In this case I think I got the term from an Italian friend, so it might relate to some other word in italian. Also neither of temerário/temerario are common at all in Portuguese or Spanish, so I the idiomatic term the other way around, in the expression I used, should be 'imprudente' I think

> How does msft handle support contracts from customers in the developing world?

As far as I know it's priced the same. In the context of this discussion - A business to business relationship - $500 is pretty reasonable at a global level.

For an individual consumer - I think $500 is a fairly steep price even in the US (and other 1st world countries) and that's by design.

My team is fully remote and distributed among time zones, making it impossible to have an event during "working hours" for everyone. So we all just agree on an acceptable time. We think it's important to socialize as it helps engender trust, so we take the hit as it were. We do try to make it fair by moving the time around so it hits various people's off hours.

My understanding is that people who self identify as gay are a much smaller subset within the group of people who engage in homosexual activities. For example, in my Asian country a large segment of the guys you meet cruising are married men (to women) who identify as completely straight. Perhaps the wife is unwilling to engage in acts you enjoy, and sex with men is low effort high reward. I also knew many guys who preferred sex with men but couldn't fathom a romantic relationship with one, and identified as mostly straight. It's highly likely that most (though not all) of these men were truly gay/bi/pan, but unable to accept it due to social conditioning.

I agree that a single encounter probably shouldn't count for the terms of the study.

Please get your story straight.

Some of the first rioters to enter the Capitol building in 2020 were BLM/antifa (at least one admitted to being a BLM member after being arrested.)

There was another Capitol building invasion in 2018 by Democrats/leftists.

The downtown burnings were Marxist leftists.

The terrorists are leftists, and the DNC is certainly a terrorist organization by any measure.

>If someone leaves a negative review of your business on TrustPilot, you can have it taken down

no, they can flag it but neither that nor the money they pay as subscription has any direct effect on the review being taken down, this solely lies on the discretion of moderators according to the terms of usage.

>they can prioritize the negative review to be shown above the positive ones

no, like hackernews trustpilot has a a scoring mechanism that is quite easily explained and also reflects on what is being shown, look here: https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/201748946-T...

>It's a shocking lack of integrity

trustpilot has the most open and transparent platform for reviews, bad actors get marked publicly no matter if they are companies(free or paying) or reviewers.
Of course in the category of 'single line' performance optimizations the most effective one is going to be:

@lru_cache(1000)
def fib(n):
if n == 1 or n == 0:
return 1
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

which lowers the time to somewhere around 20 microseconds.

I'd be interested to know if Node.js can do anything similar.
I used to offer via ferratas or paragliding on worktime, but then the employees would leave at 5 (none of them have children) and no-one stayed for beers.

If you do that, then at least be good at go-kart, you’re paid for it.

At least it clarified the situation: They don’t expect work to be fun. I stopped organizing events. If you want work to be boring, then this is how to make work boring.

It makes me a bit sad. But at least I’m sure I don’t care if I lose them.

I hope to build a better team after moving (which is in the plans), but I’m clearly lacking the talent to build a dynamic team. One of them told me his preferred series was The Office. Now I know my role. Maybe I should incarnate the Mickael Scott role, have a separate office, and be so much a caricature of the boss that they’d have to laugh.

But Mickael Scott was the only one at the airport when the girl left.
I think the most idiomatic English terms to criticize someone who is incautious or too eager to take big risks spontaneously would probably be "reckless" or "rash". :-)

(In English, "imprudent" refers more often to actions or decisions rather than to people.)

is this by design, or just lazy coding?
That depends, is there a requirement for the solution to be free?

If you are happy to pay for this, then there are a variety of options with a sliding cost/usefulness/accuracy scale.

If you are looking for reliable, accurate, balanced reviews conducted by anonymous ethical independent agents, and you don’t think consumers of that information should pay for it, then I believe the answer is there is no perfect solution that satisfies all those constraints simultaneously.
By that same logic wouldn’t

Something I try to do, if I want to write an unfavourable review, is write a few positive reviews for other companies I've had recent positive experiences with first.

I figure that this gives my negative review some credibility, and it also helps the good businesses.

I wonder if actually enforcing this might help things. If someone can't find anything positive to say about five other companies, I don't think I'm interested in their negative review.
As a business owner - I can't ethically ask my employees to have "mandatory fun time" after work.

Beer & Cheese Tasting!

We had a company event from City Brew Tours (based out of NYC, I believe, but we're in Philadelphia) where we were shipped boxes of cheese, crackers, and beers (or ciders or sodas at the employee's selection to support alternatives) and during the event were given a tasting experience over Zoom.

It was excellently done, gave team members a chance to socialize about non-work things, and we learned something, too.

They are not "stuck" in anything. Manufacturing is a lot more complex than a customer placing an order online and you shipping the next day. There is production planning, storage considerations, purchasing of raw materials, and the list goes on. Manufacturers use information from their customers to increase or decrease production.

If I were to place an order for 1 million masks on your shopify store you would ship them the same day?
This makes me happy, love the elixir scene have used Matrex to good effect and wrote a pipeline recently that processes over 10gb (disk IO on the third party service bottle necked us or it would have been a lot more) data a minute through Broadway. Elixir + BEAM are good technologies and looking forward to having more numerical computing capabilities directly available in the language.

I had spent a little time trying to contribute to Tensorflex which was a google summer of code project for TF in elixir but life got too busy to proceed and then I didn't see any movement there so just figured the idea of ML was on pause and outside of Matrex numerics were also on pause. Happy to see it was still going on behind the scenes.

My particular problem was a back end for a medium-level multiplayer RPG (500ish people connected at once per world). The only real way I found to get it performant was to lean heavily into processes. But then you have a race condition problem and need to DIY your own method of synchronization because you're no longer using the process mailbox for that purpose.

In practice I haven't found the immutability of Elixir that useful for concurrency because data is deep copied when it goes across processes anyways. This is in comparison to Clojure where you can safely and perfomantly share immutable data across multiple threads.
It does not need to set precedent because it was a very standard, and rather simple case that fit with existing precedents.
No, the NYT really changed. They once had an editor (I forget his name) who, recognizing that his reporters leaned a little left, deliberately had an editorial policy a little right, trying to keep the paper leaning neither way. His tombstone literally says "He kept the paper straight."

But he's gone, and those days are over.
> I think you have a very cartoonish view of things, one that, like many purists, leads you to in effect support the system you claim to decry. That may preserve your feelings of purity, but it doesn't do a thing to actually solve the problem.

I’m tracking that you don’t agree but it might be more helpful for you to consider why I might feel that way instead of dismissing my perspective as cartoonish.

> The truth is that many politicians don't like the fact that they have to spend so much time fundraising to pursue their actual goals.

Sure, maybe. They’d probably prefer to get the same money with less effort.

> They don't like the influence fundraising has on politics. They would rather focus on solving issues. It's possible to make progress on this issue, just like has been done before.

I’m not sure how. Campaign finance already has the unintended consquence of inhibiting the free speech of citizens by limiting their ability to purchase advertisements prior to an election. And they politicians still get bribed.

What solution do you envision? Further restrictions on political speech? Prohibiting people from donating to causes they support?

> You may be a person who slavishly follows their economic incentives, in which case I'm sorry for you. But don't make the mistake of thinking everybody works like that.

People who don’t follow economic incentives starve to death or die of exposure. I’m pretty sure the politicians who collect a six figure annual salary from the treasury in addition to their laundered campaign contributions are quite attuned to financial incentives. The part where they claim otherwise is just marketing and its quite naive to take that at face value.
