Noisy neighbors a growing headache for S. Koreans who stay home amid pandemic
I agree with you. To me it just sounds like people being entitled, expecting a service to never go down, ever. Shit happens and things go down. Design your processes around that fact and have procedures lined up for when it does happen.

However, saying "just get GitLab and deploy it to your own server" glosses over the huge time sink it is, especially for small companies that are already short-staffed, to maintain something like that. I sure as heck do not want to be responsible for keeping my GitLab server up.

As you say, if you're writing an issue, put it in an editor issues.md file or something. If you're working on code, even better, just commit locally.
Building a form and hashing a password is webdev 101, but go look at the feature set offered by Auth0 or other CIAM platforms. Passwordless auth, MFA, compliance management, customer profiling, workflows, threat detection, analytics. And then think about how much they charge for doing this all for you out of the box versus hiring a dev team and running them forever to support it.
Yes there are non-linear functions...but often these result from combinations of linear functions.
If the info we have is proof that no species in history could do any of the things that would let us notice them, then it can't also be strong evidence that they must exist.
Performance doesn't matter until it does. One thing that can be nice is that an efficient backend can handle an enormous amount of load on just 1 server, which can save you a ton a complexity for various reasons (deployment, integrations with other services, and just less cost). Then on the extreme end where you have a very high traffic server, efficiency might let you scale back from ~12vms to ~3, which can be a significant cost savings, especially if done with no impact in productivity, which I believe is often that case just by moving from interpreted/dynamic langs to statically typed compiled/jitted ones.

> People shouldn't be oppressed for their sexuality full stop, regardless of reason.

Completely agreed. I don't think we should shy away from trying to understand and explain it though. It's been a puzzling question that people have tried to grapple with for a long time now. I think it would be interesting to understand humans better.

And.. if it is definitively proven that it is nature and not nurture, it might make the lives of individuals easier by not having to deal with as many attacks from those that were intolerant but have changed their minds when exposed to the science. I agree that ideally, those individuals wouldn't be discriminated against in the first place, but that's not the world we live in right now. I would argue that if anyone could do anything to alleviate some of that discrimination with science, it would be an incredibly worthwhile endeavor.

Both OSes and complex CPUs are a direct result of their capabilities.

I'd wish physics would end at Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell equations, but alas special- and general relativity cannot be avoided in some circumstances and neither can quantum mechanics in others.

The same is true for CPUs and operating systems - if you need high performance and the ability to do real-time high-resolution media playback, digital content creation, high-bandwidth networking, high-colour and high-resolution graphic displays with font smoothing, auto-scaling, multi-monitor support, pluggable peripherals, etc. etc. you'll get complexity.

There's only so much that can be achieved with simple TTL and core memory...

Microkernels and provably correct OSes are great and available, too. But things start to get messy quick once you add support for various protocols, devices, and capabilities. Not just because it gets harder and harder to do, but also because there's diminishing returns: the vast majority of users aren't OS developers and just don't care.

The same way the vast majority of people don't care about the layout, build quality, and logical soundness of the plumbing in their homes (as long as it works sufficiently well) or the technical details of their refrigerator.

That's why there's very little incentive to build small, "clean", and provably correct OSes for the general public. You will find them, though, and they are in use.
My point, well I have more than one really, they are 1) if these evil mobs are really any semblance of a threat, pointing at them every time a blue check decides to go after ideological opponents desensitizes us to it, and 2) the only prominent examples of what you're saying exists and is a danger are perpetrated by the people reminding us of this ever present danger.

You can't defend baseless attacks against things like WSB by reminding us that a real mob of scumbags exist and then expect others to disassociate the two. When an article is written attacking someone that is legitimately going after the evil people on the internet, your point may very well be valid, but in this case it is not. If you want these two scenarios disassociated from one another, perhaps don't associate them with one another.

Reuters: Musk-fuelled Bitcoin surge triggers cryptocurrency exchange glitches
"(Reuters) - Major cryptocurrency exchanges experienced technical issues on Monday as trading volumes soared after billionaire Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc revealed it had purchased $1.5 billion of bitcoin and would soon accept it as a form of payment.

The electric-vehicle company’s move marked the latest step toward mainstream acceptance of bitcoin, sending it 10% higher on expectations that other companies will soon join asset manager BlackRock Inc and payments companies Square and PayPal in backing the cryptocurrency.

San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken said it had re-enabled sign-ups after temporarily disabling them earlier in the day because of heavy traffic leading to connectivity issues with its website, while peers Gemini and Binance said their systems were experiencing difficulties. [...]"

I think that Politics is naturally self-corrupting but the extreme partisan divide in America has, IMO, made politicians less vulnerable to the crap they tread in. There is very little you can do to make yourself less desirable than someone on the other team so corruption is really only an issue for being primaried and toeing the party line can still protect you pretty effectively.
> And yet somehow whenever you take a closer look at mislabeled product prices, the average is always in favor of the store.

There's also the other side: if someone is a homicidal psychopath due to their genetics, then I still do not want them to roam free. So genetically predetermined is not a good argument to use in favor of gay rights. People should be allowed to determine their own sexuality, regardless of whether that determination was preset by their genetics or not, just as people should not be allowed to commit murder regardless of whether that was preset by their genetics. (Same goes for other possible sources of determination.)
I grew up very near to Uley yet had no idea about this. I’m amazed how quickly it seems to have been forgotten. I wonder why it was? It seems some people did know about it so maybe no one thought it was noteworthy. Perhaps the demographic changes in the countryside made it harder for that sort of history to be passed down. Or maybe it wasn’t really forgotten at all but it just wasn’t widely known or talked about.
Voters, because when it comes to issues of criminal justice, crowds are rarely paragons of sober temperance and restraint.
The original context, FWIW, is that the /r/wallstreetbets community calls themselves "retards" ironically. That is absolutely a slur; calling someone "retarded" in that sense is calling them stupid by likening them to people with developmental disabilities. And that is offensive to a lot of people in the modern world. And, to be perfectly frank, that offense is exactly the reason why the WSB community adopted it in the first place. They wanted to be edgy, if it wasn't a slur they would have chosen a different term that was.

> admitting he treats women differently because of their gender

OK, I see the misunderstanding.

I'm not aware of a colloquial usage of "anecdote" which covers confessions of a behavior, let alone a habitual behavior. (By which I don't intend to deny that the usage is real; it's just not known to me.)

An anecdote could certainly include an admission; anything can happen in personal stories.

Still, even if your definition of "anecdote" extends to admissions, I don't see how you could then call it false.

If someone confesses that he treated specific women A, B and C differently, or else that he habitually does so, then the only way that can be false is that he's making it up.
Last time I checked gay wasn't a gender.

So they likely excluded transsexual men (biological women) who are attracted to men and vice versa.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I would trust a service like this a lot more if i could easily export all my data. I would do so on a regular basis, basically as a backup.

The other concern is what happens if you shut down or decide to change your plan to be prohibitively expensive? (I'm not implying that's the case for you, but it's a consideration that has to be made). There have been vendors in the past that have abruptly shut down without warning, leaving their customers scrambling to build or find alternatives. In all honesty, I'd rather build an authentication system from the beginning than having to take my service down at a critical time.

This is actually a really interesting product though, and i would definitely consider it on future projects.

Plus it doesn't make sense from a Christian perspective. The Roman Catholic branch and derivatives all believe everyone is genetically predisposed to sin through Adam's lineage, and that is a bad thing, and we don't have a choice in the matter. So saying homosexuality is a genetic predisposition just means it gets lumped into the rest of our fallen attributes. Making it a choice doesn't fix things either, since a choice can be intrinsically sinful. There is no other way than to deny that homosexuality is wrong. Yet that is difficult to do, since sexuality has such an obvious role to play in the perpetuation of the human race. If it were normative then the human race would not exist. So the most straightforward explanation is it is a deviation from the way things should be, as is much else in our human nature, which in turn points to a standard that we deviate from.
From another article on this topic:
"But at about 1:30 p.m. the same day, Gualtieri said, someone accessed the system again. This time, he said, the operator watched as someone took control of the mouse, directed it to the software that controls water treatment, worked inside it for three to five minutes and increased the amount of sodium hydroxide from 100 parts per million to 11,100 parts per million."

I think a more charitable interpretation of the situation would be "Apple didn't expect the number of Adult Content Filter users to be high enough to dedicate more efforts to testing it before shipping. So they had no idea until now that there were issues like this in the first place."

This situation has nothing to do with Asians or redheads not being "important enough". It has everything to do with the adult content filter feature not being "important enough" (until these news about the bug broke out, I assume).

In principle it makes sense.

An issue is that R&D is a fixed cost rather than a variable cost, so determining how the R&D costs are to be split among AZ's customers is pretty hard and potentially prone to abuse. Are they to be split among all expected customers before the pandemic ends? All expected customers during the lifetime of the vaccine? During the lifetime of this family of vaccines?

Given that apparently it makes up the majority of the price, it's quite an important detail.

Let's assume the benefit is improved female fertility. If it's an autosomal trait, half of the carriers will be male, and lead to the vast majority of them refusing to have offspring. That would require the sisters to have a pretty spectacular bump in the number of offspring to offset their gay brothers. Indeed, since the trait is clearly polygenic, all the sisters do not inherit the trait equally, if at all. The sisters who do inherit it would have to be spectacularly fecund to compensate.
Terraria is very very popular game so I wonder what is going on inside Stadia team... could it be that they are just incompetent and they do not even monitor Twitter feeds of popular game developers?

Or maybe Stadia team actually wants to help but they are ignored inside Google? Or they just know the project will be canceled so they don’t care?

Or maybe they really do not want terraria on their platform so they are willing ignore this?
Without jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon, I'd also like to see this applied to voting software. I know it's a hot topic, and I'm honestly not trying to get political.

Software that is critical to our fundamental human rights, and is being used by our government should be open source, or at least audited by a group of people who sign Non-competes/NDA and can't go work for competitors, or with some other mechanism to protect IP that I can't think of.
That's what Go is for. I've said this before. Go has all those well-exercised packages for doing web applications.

Rust is for harder problems. The ones you'd otherwise have to do in C++. I'm working on a client for a virtual world in Rust, and it is far easier in Rust than it would be in C++. Full 3D, GPU usage, networking, lots of state, a constantly changing big world through which you can move, compute bound, multiple threads. All my code is in safe Rust, and I've never had to use a debugger.

Write your embedded software in Rust. Write your networking software in Rust. Write databases in Rust. Write browsers in Rust. Write complex games in Rust. For ordinary server side web jobs, it's overkill.

You're collapsing a huge societal design space into a narrow, ultra-individualistic western viewpoint. Your point only makes sense in societies that take it as a given that individual autonomy trumps the right of society to enforce behavioral, moral, and social norms. That approach is not morally required and almost no non-western society embraces that viewpoint. Almost all of Asia and Africa accepts that requiring conformity in voluntary lifestyle and personal expression is legitimate. There is nothing special about sexuality in that respect--nearly everyone in the world thinks its perfectly legitimate for societies to, for example, impose taboos on sexual activity outside the bounds of some marriage-like relationship. By your reasoning, modern western sexual permissiveness is morally required--even when it comes to voluntary choices. That's a radical (and quite ethnocentric) claim.

In that context, whether something is a choice, versus a characteristic that cannot easily be changed, is tremendously important. It elevates the issue from ordinary policing of norms into the realm of human rights.

And of course, it's ridiculous to say that people "latched on" to sexual orientation being immutable to appease "bigots." Sexuality being immutable (or at least not easily changed) is an observation that rests on the experience of countless individuals who suffered tremendous pain and suffering trying to deny their sexual orientation. And the article, of course, nowhere suggests that sexual orientation is a choice. Many things are immutable characteristics, or at least not easily changeable--without being traceable to a specific gene.

Hello HN,

windmaran.com has prepared a set of Python assignments for junior programmers. Working on the assignments is a great method for self-assessing coding knowledge because it reflects real-time programming tasks. The assignments cover
only the essentials of Python; they are suitable for high school students.

The assignments are divided into three parts depending on the degree of complexity:

Level-1:
Easy Assignments: Sum of Numbers, Find the Largest/Smallest Number

Level-2:
Intermediate Assignments: Reverse a List, Tax Calculations

Level-3:
Advanced Assignments: Selection Sort, Probability Calculation, Combine Two Lists
