As a gay person who periodically wades past the dialectical peat bog that is Hacker News, I am begging you to stop digging. I cannot tell you how disheartening it is to find comments like this at the top of a thread, let alone anywhere. Perceived mutability is one aspect that affects perceptions of marginalized groups. Neither perceived nor actual mutability justifies discrimination.

A world in which gender transition were a trivial weekend occurrence would not excuse the gender wage gap. If conversion therapy were effective, it would still not be moral to imprison people for being gay. Being able to lighten one's skin does not, and should not, excuse the shooting of Black people at traffic stops.

For some of this, this isn't an armchair "design space". Some of us still have people shouting "faggot" at us from passing cars. Some of us have strangers threatening to kill us in the supermarket. Some of us have been fired when our old names were found out. Some of us are trying to figure out how to tell our children how not to be murdered. These kinds of discrimination are not "perfectly legitimate" social choices. They have impact on actual human beings.
Engineering Manager
Required experience:
Experienced Engineering Manager. You have a successful history of structuring and managing a team of excellent engineers — helping to develop their careers with stretch projects and quality feedback, while empowering the team to achieve a high level of technical productivity and quality.
All-star engineer. You have proven technical underpinnings and a strong track record building software applications, with an emphasis on complex web applications.
Impact-driven product thinker. You will be deeply involved in every aspect of the product development process, from prioritization and scoping to design. You will constantly need to weigh the need to invest in long-term improvements against the urgency of getting features out the door. We’ll rely on your independent judgment to make reasonable choices.
Startup mentality. Startups are fast-paced, ever-changing, and uncertain. You will wear many hats. You’ll at least need to be okay with that — and ideally, you’ll embrace it.
Belief in our mission. Community should play an active role in your life. You understand our vision and believe in the company’s potential to realize it.
That was just one example
no necessarily, assuming a galaxy wide expanding type II civilization that converts every star it encounters to a Dyson swarm as the tracked intelligent civilization. they will easily take a few 10s of Million years to colonize their galaxy. in this process we should be able to see such transformation 'in real-time' via changing radiation signature of the region.

I get what you're saying as far as "practical" purposes go. It's also arguable that (in the spirit of your argument) the outer reaches of the Milky Way are also irrelvant.

However, when people sit around and think about the possibilities of alien life, or rather - the probability that alien life exists outside of Earth, it's *100%* relevant to consider galaxies outside our own.
This is also similar to how Toyota hilled people with control software that would cause car to accelerate randomly. The software audit team concluded that they could not find the bug, but the code was totally unreadable and terrible. They settled.

Same advice I gave a w3c.org admin who was lamenting how much traffic people generate by not caching xml schemas. Yes, you have to serve the requests. But you don't have to try to serve them in 100 ms. If a human is on the other end, 1-2 seconds is just fine. If a human is not, then the human will surely notice when their batch process goes from 3 minutes to 10 minutes because it fetches the same schema 200 times.
Some regions floated right to explanation and right to human review for automated processes. I don't know if any passed, but if they did, it would definitely mean the service has to take it into account.

I'd just check that when you're writing or changing the tests though; for nontrivial conditions it can take a very long time to get neglibible probability of any metatest failing in a given run, and flaky metatests are just as bad as the usual kind.

If this split is particularly important, we'd usually recommend just writing separate tests for data that satisfy A or B; you can even supply the generators with pytest.mark.parametrize if copy-pasting the test body offends.

That’s why a generic carbon tax should be used. There is no point punishing Bitcoin mining because bitcoin mining isn’t inherently bad, it’s the burning of fuels that is bad.

Countries should then tax imports from other countries that do not have a carbon tax.

As the others said - XSS. Stored XSS can still be a vulnerability with secure cookies, but locally stored tokens are a dramatically easier thing to take advantage of as an attacker, as they can just exfiltrate the token and hit your APIs with it.

For web browsers, cookie-based auth solves a ton of browser-specific problems that history has spent a long time building up answers for.
> Raku ... lacks widespread adoption

Right. It clearly doesn't have a strong enough offering at the moment to attract anyone beyond a few early adopters.

> last I heard it fell significantly short of Perl 5 performance

Likewise. I'm pretty sure Perl still roundly trounces it for a lot of operations, especially in regex processing. I think it will need to be significantly faster than Perl before it will have a chance at gaining significantly more adoption.

> I'm not sure what kind of library ecosystem it has nowadays

The raku.land directory has less than a thousand packages and many seem to be jokes, unloved, poorly tested and documented, version 0.x, or even 0.0.x. [0]

The standard library is a different ballgame. It's generally well designed and very large, cutting out the usual blizzard of folk reinventing the wheel for basics. So that's good.

> I doubt we're going to see big commercially-backed library development efforts for it, soon or ever.

I agree.

> Perl 5 has a huge ecosystem of course, but it's such a nasty warty language with nasty warty tooling.

This is where I think Raku's strength lies.

A lot of the effort that went into Raku was to build a platform that could just directly use tooling and libraries of other PLs while insulating developers from their downsides.

That way you get to use Raku tooling, syntax and semantics at the surface level with other PLs' tooling and modules and performance. Kinda like using C code in a non-C PL, but generalized to using code from any other PL in Raku.

The exemplar was supposed to be Perl, but it was also supposed to extend to many other PLs. Starting 7 years ago this became the Inline family.[1]

Inline::Perl is the most mature. Imo it's remarkable. But it was always supposed to just be the first one to get the polish to demonstrate that the approach works and works great. About a year ago the author behind it said it was nearly time to do the same for Python modules. And now I see a GSOC proposal to do that.[2]

The Inlines hide the warts (though you do have to read the modules' documentation to know what their API's are etc).

I think the impact of Inline Python will be huge because it takes away the complaint about reading Perl documentation and code. Instead you read Python API docs but get the benefits of using Raku.

(And, in the wings, there's Inline::Ruby, Inline::Lua, and so on.)

Maybe name and shame and bully these editors out of work then? Unless they are fine with it if course.
My initial thinking is it's in some flower recognition dataset.
I think the more important fact is that people can be affected by small amounts of latency, even if they can't react that quickly or perhaps even discern that latency is occurring.

The obvious example here is a precision platformer like Celeste, but you can say the same (with less and less applicability) to other games, starting with FPS.

In Celeste, there are a handful of frame-perfect inputs in the game. This means you have less than a 20 ms window to get your input in, or you're dead (the game's only failure state). How is this possible, if human reaction time is only ~100 ms at best? It's because there's a difference between reaction time and timing. Reaction time measures your time-to-react to an unpredictable stimulus. Timing is your reaction to a predictable stimulus. Most of the time in games you are reacting to a stimulus that is at least somewhat predictable.

So with a little training you can reliably make that frame perfect jump. But if Stadia adds 60 ms of latency, that means your character is over 3 frames ahead of where you think she is. You're going to miss that jump a lot until you can reprogram your brain to account for the latency, as much as possible. And even then you'll probably find it harder. Throw in a little variability to the latency, so you think the character is 3 frames behind but she's actually 4, and you're doomed.

Granted, not every game is a precision platformer, so there are diminishing returns for low latency in other types of game. But if you, say, enable cross-play between Stadia and non-Stadia in a shooter, the local players are probably going to have a huge advantage. Even making it work against an AI opponent would require some significant work to make the AI's reaction time keyed to Stadia's measurement of latency, not whatever you originally hard-coded into the game.
The way I see it, dollars and bitcoin are two competing forms of money. To calculate the equilibrium market cap of bitcoin, multiply each person's net worth by the fraction they wish to allocate to bitcoin and sum over the population. For example if the total value of all goods is 200T and the net-worth weighted allocation fraction is 1%, then the equilibrium market cap would be 2T. You don't need "greater fools" because people are constantly buying and selling in equilibrium, not just selling, similar to how gold maintains a pretty steady 10T market cap.

However bitcoin has superior intrinsic monetary properties to all other stores of value, including gold, so the equilibrium market cap might be extremely high.
I just opened up my margined account on Interactive Brokers and it shows a large negative cash balance (exactly equal to what I borrowed on margin). I guess an inexperienced trader could've mistaken the negative cash balance as having negative equity value. Alex Kearns had a negative cash of -730k but a positive equity of $16k . Why did Robinhood send him an email asking for $170k in a few days?

Then later after his death, he received another email from Robinhood:

"Great news! We're reaching out to confirm that you've met your margin call and we've lifted your trade restrictions."

Did Robinhood's margin call system make a mistake?
Your own driving needs are not everyone else's drivers needs. 20 supercharger uses per year means you wasted more time than refueling a gasoline car 40 times a year. Fuel cell cars that can do both would be more convenient than either.

Fuel cells of the future will also be superior to fuel cells of today. That likely includes a dramatic increase in efficiency that will great reduce or eliminate this issue.
Sure, now you're paying 4x the price because you need two more operators so you can staff this place 100% of the time. And it's not even this guy. He probably reacts to like 4 different plants. Now you need like each of those places to have this guy in driving distance. You're not going to make it.

Honestly, I think this is a fine outcome. There is a dollar value per life. I don't think we're undervaluing the life yet.
I was going to be really disappointed if this page's comments didn't involve the word "capacitor" at some point.
Another selling point is if you are not using AWS infrastructure at all. If you are trying to build a service that you do not want to utilize the tech giants AWS or Google, it’s a selling point.

> There are many things that are (practically) immutable that aren't rooted in genetics, so no, the distinction isn't unimportant.

Yet in this case it’s used for the same purpose, building an argument saying that people should not be punished for it because they can’t change it. It’s moving the goalposts and it is not productive in the long run. There are much better reasons to accept homosexuality.

> "As long as both parties consent" is a particular view of human sexuality that is not even fully embraced in the west, and is largely rejected everywhere else.

Indeed, if you believe in human rights and that having pleasure does not give someone the right to harm someone else. The fact that there are some horrible people or repressive societies does not make that any less true.

> It's perfectly legitimate for societies to enforce what libertines might regard as "narrow" and "reactionary" sexual norms--so long as they don't discriminate against protected classes.

That is very US-specific. Protected classes in itself is a device to afford protection to some people whilst keeping the moral right to be arbitrarily repressive in any other way. Discrimination is wrong regardless of whether the reason is in a list of things politicians feel like protecting.

> A society could decide, for example, that the destructive effect of adultery on families and children warrants its prohibition. That's a choice a society can make, or not make. We can debate the merits of it, but human rights does not make.

Yes, and the loss of freedom is balanced against the gains. If serious studies show evidence of harm from adultery, you have a point. Otherwise it is as sensible as forbidding video games or kitchen knives.

> We can debate the merits of it, but human rights does not require a society to accept the values of the western sexual revolution.

Not being punished for something that is not wrong or for a victimless act is not a concept born during the sexual revolution. It has a long tradition from antiquity, and was quite popular during the enlightenment, and is part of the bedrock of the democratic ideal.

If you accept the concept of human rights, it implies that you accept not to punish people for their choice of sex partners (again, as long as that choice does not violate the human rights of said partners).

> The story is quite different when it comes to immutable sexual characteristics. That elevates it into the realm of issues such as discrimination based on race or ethnicity--into a human rights issue. We regard those very differently.

I know you like to say you do (collectively; there are many examples in this thread), but it does not make it right. It’s also, again, a very US-specific concept.
And everybody keeps saying THAT. The problem is, that's a secondary effect. A secondary effect is going to have to be pretty strong to counter an obviously anti-competitive primary effect. You can construct scenarios, but I haven't seen any that seem particularly compelling. It seems to me that the default position of "it's not genetic" is much better supported by the data.

I don't see what good references are since the applicant gets to choose them. How many people legitimately can't find a single person from a previous job to list as a reference? Or find a person that can convincingly pretend to be a reference.

It would be different if you could randomly call 3 people they worked with at their last company, but I don't think anyone does that.

> I'm not 100% positive about Hetzner, but suspect much of it is is actually on a VM

Wrong. The parent poster means running postgresql baremetal.

Yet both VM and containers just don't cut it when it comes to performance.

I'm currently experimenting with NVMe passthrough, close but no cigar. SR-IOV may change things: when a NVMe NS can be mapped to a VM, the flexibility may be enough to compensate for the performance loss.
> Turning something off and then on again may be one of the worst ways to fix problems with certain large systems.

From an overall system-wide perspective, sure. But from an individual component perspective, it seems to work pretty darn reliably. There's a reason why Erlang/OTP (as one example) has such a reputation for fault-tolerance and robustness.

And on that note, Erlang's model of supervised preemptive processes seems like it'd be a good fit for unified-memory computing, especially if taken to an "everything is a process" extreme.
Huh, I worked on a site with a similar issue in ~2019. A massive flood of traffic for a single site from Indian mobile apps (~15kqps at peak iirc).

I think it ended up being a sort of mobile-based botnet with a bizarre target, which luckily was deduced from some of the headers sent (they all had a random common header).
It can't be a training pipeline, because the IPs are all around India.

Sample code from Stack Overflow being used by some major app is the most likely candidate. It's also possible that the image fetch call is a vestigial appendix that doesn't even display the image, which will make tracking this down extra challenging.
it was around before BTC existed... by a long shot.
