I feel like for any long-running project, that person is at least ME. If I haven't written down some architectural information for complex projects, when I revisit a project after it being dormant for half year, I need to poke around to figure things out again.

If I have written down architecture notes in the first place, they are very helpful at this point; and if I haven't, it's a good time to start because I'll be acutely aware of the non-obvious parts as I re-familiarize myself with the code.
Not an expert, but:

It depends if the browsers have matching characteristics. If you're not using a VPN, then they can be matched by IP. If you are, then it's down to side-channels which are a pain but usually differ by browser (and perhaps even profile) - but I do wonder if ex. font availability and possibly GPU-based fingerprints wouldn't match. Of course, if your locked-down browser blocks enough then you can solve that.
Been using Feedly for years now, since Google Reader died, one of the most useful tools around. And more sites support it than you think. RSS (and Atom, etc.) are not dead, they are just not fashionable.
That's part of the solution, yes, but it's difficult to get the whole system set up this way and achieve something near maximum throughput. My understanding is that most people who use tape don't get anywhere near maximum throughput over the long term. Naive use of drives is still quite common... things like backing up with tar, or dumping a database straight to tape, and it's easy to imagine buffer starvation scenarios.

Returning to the idea of increasing throughput on the drives by adding heads, I'm just doubtful that it would be the best way to improve overall system performance. For alternatives, you can either get engineers to optimize usage of existing drives or buy more drives.

Exactly. Divorce can be a healthy end to an unhealthy relationship. Can be. But if you're divorcing, you're already at an unhealthy state.
Furthermore, while I've always disliked the "this is contrary to everything that Steve Jobs stood for" cottage industry of takes that sprung up after his death, I can say with utter conviction that there's no way Steve would have let himself be held to a "job for life" guarantee, and surely the author knew this as well as anybody when he went to court.

Not that this necessarily makes him wrong or unethical for trying to enforce the guarantee…
This reinforces the old saying. "Don't take down the fence until you know why it was put up." I wish more computer science programs taught this as an important principle. Too many people today assume that if something is newer, it is necessarily better, and rush to rewrite or replace things that had been working well, and would continue to do so, with new and untested and unproven replacements.
How do you distill down critical outcomes of the architecture for people considering using your project? Based on my experience so far, engineers will look at a giant document, see phrases like “stakeholder management” and nope the fuck out.

What I want to know is, what are the key performance considerations, failure modes, recovery procedures, etc.
I know it's a natural response. But it's uncivilized.
Given enough of these fault analysis articles, I wonder if it’s possible to compile them into some kind of decision tree-like interface where you can describe your problems and have it guide possible failure scenarios (plus diagnose steps). Would be cool to collect all of this knowledge beyond google, as this is the type of stuff where Google often breaks down.
Is it clearly just the education, or is it possible that people taking the courses are already at higher risk because of their existing interest in avalanche adjacent activities?

Looking at the paper, it talks about people choosing to take risks (vs the education changing their behavior):

It appears that formal avalanche education did not make victims in this study less likely to be in accidents. Across all levels of avalanche training, overall exposure scores remained about the same, suggesting that these individuals were in the business of trading off the risks of being in avalanche terrain with the perceived benefits of engaging in their chosen activity. In other words, these victims were apparently using their training to access avalanche terrain during dangerous conditions so they could more fully enjoy their sports. For these people, courses aimed avoiding avalanche hazard would have little utility, and would probably not affect fatality rates in this population significantly. This group would benefit most from courses that provided risk management tools for balancing hazard exposure with recreational objectives. A sobering implication is that such courses might be more successful at extending students’ mobility in avalanche terrain than at reducing the total number of accidents.

With 7 kids, you're close to crossing over from "anecdotal" into "dataset" territory.
Those of us in the not at risk groups still have agency to improve our immune systems (proper vitamins and diet, avoid obesity, sleep, et al) to significantly reduce our risk against an already extremely low risk virus. Glad I've been following common sense since day one. :)
Recently, we’ve seen “fake news” turned from a very specific type of propaganda — literally invented stories on invented media with the intent of being shared on social media, for radicalization purposes, think “Denver Guardian”[0] — to be rapidly watered down to mean “I don’t like this”. It’s obvious why. Hyperpartisan deliberate misinformation is the coin of the realm in conservative media. It’s been like this going back to the John Birch Society. (And no, sharing misinformation is not symmetric on political extremes.[1])

Just eat broccoli instead? I don't get other foods. Make a small amount of other things sustainable and respectful, then make the rest of your diet broccoli. Done.

Almost the entire point of cultivating different foods is to enjoy different flavors and textures. If something is tasty but expensive, in terms of money or the environment, we should encourage the people that try to make it cheaper. There's no reason to want things to be expensive and rare treats.
I did a poor job of explaining myself. By "spike" I mean exploratory coding without test-driving. Sometimes you don't know enough about the problem or the solution spaces to test-drive effectively. That means hacking around for a while to get your bearings.

Test harnesses are really a different thing and I think they're always a good idea. I like to test "outside-in", I think it's good at preventing low-level assumptions from upsetting the top level. But again, it depends on the code and context.

As an aside, small studies of test-before vs test-after show that in terms of bug yield, there's no major difference. Over the long term I think they diverge. That means that the magic of TDD isn't that it causes you to write better code than writing tests afterwards. It's that it forces you to write tests at all. TDD is eating your vegetables first.
ISOs vs. NSOs: Whats the Difference
I have the need to run client-side monitoring for AWS Lambda functions, but haven't managed to figure out yet what's the easiest option to do so.

While I could point AWS_CSM_HOST to some external IP-address, the lack of encryption and authentication makes that pretty nonviable. Alternatively I could put the AWS Lambda functions into VPC, but I'd prefer a less invasive change to the AWS Lambda functions.

Does somebody here have a better solution for that?

In itself it's neither good nor bad for the environment. In fact some ecosystems depend on the vegetation being kept in check by herbivores so arguably keeping at least some cattle in those ecosystems is 'good' for the environment.

The problem is the scale, which is also a problem with the industrial growing of crops and industrial fishing.

In rich countries we probably eat too much meat both for our health and for the impact on the environment, but the bottom line is that feeding 8 billion people and counting, who are getting richer globally, is going to hit the environment hard.

IMHO, the best way to reduce meat consumption is to ban subsidies and to increase regulatory quality standards, which would make prices go up significantly. But that's politically unpalatable.
That turned out to be a marketing stunt

Those are theories of propaganda from 80 years ago, coming from a totalitarian state that could simply enforce an official truth that no one believed in but everybody would repeat even to friends for fear of being seen as a dissenter.

Modern propaganda has advanced considerably. Just look at the advertising industry if you want to see state-of-the-art propaganda. Lifestyle marketing, creating perceived social pressures, reinventing the past - these are all techniques which work much better than simply telling a lie, especially if you can't just point a gun at anyone who doesn't at least pretend to believe your lie.
Asking where the money goes is always worthwhile, but the thesis that journalism was more partisan 100 years ago is well established. For example, look at Joseph Pulitzer, founder of the Pulitzer Prizes, one of the most prestigious awards any journalist can receive. Pulitzer was also an infamous "yellow journalist", one of the most prominent and influential.

Late-20th-century style "real journalism" seems either to be a historical aberration, or something that is only sustainable in very particular social conditions.

Depending on the VPN protocol, you can still fingerprint by size - as I understand it, bandwidth use patterns are actually enough to distinguish things like "streaming video" from "BitTorrent traffic" from "web browsing". IIRC, ex. TOR does a bucket-filling approach to fight this (something along the lines of trying to wait until you've got X bytes to send together to smooth out the packet size, or even inserting garbage to pad out your use).

> That's like saying isn't death a healthy outcome for a cancer patient?

The end of a marriage (where both participants continue living) and a cancer death, are not comparable.

Your "if you're not going to stay in a bad marriage until you physically die, what's the point of marriage?" viewpoint where marriage is permanent xor utilitarian is a false dichotomy.

Divorce doesn't mean that the participants failed, or that they entered into the marriage simply out of utility.
Yeah, I think that is what the Danes did in WW2, and why they had more people survive the lean times when the Nazis took their food.
You get rid of subsidies and then poor people can’t eat meat. Good luck dealing with the political fallout from that. Subsidized meat is a special kind of a American socialism where the wealthy tax payers fund the subsidies so everyone else can eat meat.

Honestly, so many of the ideas for addressing climate just prevent poor people from participating. The upper middle class who are most concerned with these issues (and have the most political power) simply wouldn’t be affected much at all by things that make access more difficult and/or expensive.

Rationing in the name of “equity” won’t happen because these same people will actually be affected so the line is drawn there. We need more housing development but not in my backyard, etc.

I don’t offer a particular solution other than giving people incentives to eat plant based diets and using tax revenues to invest in engineering the problem away as much as possible.

Are you religious per chance? Not denigrating, but civil marriages (not sure if right name) don't have any of these vows, for health and sick whatnot.

I am divorced, and got married in my country outside the church. Wether we like it or not, it was literally a contract. An officer of the court was there, read the 'contract' which states our data, the legal parts of it (prenup, how assets were after marriage, etc), and the legal responsibilities. There was nothing there about 'until the end' or the likes.

I'm not sure how it is in other countries, and I am from a very catholic country, but most people don't realize that marriage is the contract that is governed by the government's law and not any vows or whatever the priest says in church. It is a contract and parties to that contract are allowed to change their mind and divorce (break contract).
If you could measure what would have happened if parents stayed together then yes. But parents break up for a reason, and trying to put that back together makes zero sense. In the US, a large minority of single parents have fathers who have spent time in jail...is it a good idea to put a child into that environment? Probably not.

And the main issue with single parents is income/income instability (which is why there are focused benefits in many countries for single parents). As ever, an income issue gets classed as something else.
The goal is to taste / look / behave like meat so why not call it plant-based meat? In the end, the properties matter, not the production process.
As a counter example, I was able to customize FitNesse for my needs quickly and easily. I can't remember the exact reason (it was about 8 years ago), but the change was simply adding a new class inherited from a base and using that. I did not have to change legacy code (except at the instantiation site) to do it.

This was in Java which is not even my primary language.

It was pretty impressive.

It breaks down to basically, when you can keep the whole system in your head, that style is needlessly complex, but once it exceeds that level, then it is better.
Wait until they find out peanut butter isn't a type of butter.
I think the way the commenter worded it, it sounded like they thought a couple just entering into marriage might sit down and talk about the healthiest outcomes of their marriage and say: "Well, we could stay deeply in love for the next 50 years, or we could get divorced tomorrow. Either way, both equally good options." But that's probably not what they meant.

Ask HN: How do you manage social media time?
I think 90% of my social media usage is toxic...random browsing, exposure to ads or toxic opinions, developing fast thinking habits, reducing attention, etc. But there is the 10% that is very useful...niche communities, free information, connection, etc.

But I feel getting that 10% reinforces a bad social media habit. For example, I feel more compelled to check my phone or stay up to date. How do you keep the benefits of using a large scale, information rich platform like Reddit without exposing yourself to bad habit building and Reddit dark-patterna and addiction building ux design?
I honestly only did it because I was cheap and I wanted to remake a sandwich I had consumed before. I started with a simple foccacia recipe and went from there. But I started baking with my mother years earlier so I had some experience.

I now for better or worse have the Toll House cookie recipe memorized, but I'm terrible at making baked goods look appealing.
That is the interesting thing I think covering AMD on the GPU side and Intel on the CPU side, there is so much demand vs supply that less performance per price products are viable because MSRP has gone completely out the window.
MRI machines do something like this. Probably not at the atom scale accuracy. UV light can be ignored because the crystal would sit in a opaque case. A trivial error correction is writing a bit to many places, the idea similar to bloom filters.
Non-rhetoric question - why would one need a feed on craigslist? I've ever used craigslist only in two ways: 1) trying to sell something (about 20% success rate) 2) trying to buy something for cheap. In both cases, RSS feed serves to useful function - as a seller, I only need to publish one post, as a buyer, I need to find who sells cheap used bikes, call/email them and be done with it, I'm not going to monitor cheap used bike market for years to come.

Is there some important craigslist use case I am missing here?
I love the Sahara. I spent one night in the desert and I will never forget it. The stars were amazing. The moon didn't rise until ~midnight. When it did finally rise, I got really confused because I hadn't noticed it missing. At first I thought the sun was rising. I layed on the dunes so long I could watch the stars rotate in the sky.
> scientific method

While I agree with you, in my experience, even PhD researchers in the hard sciences, who know the scientific method thoroughly, throw it out the window when they discuss anything other than science. It's disappointing, but at least I can point out to them that they aren't following the scientific method :-/

Robert Baruch on Youtube is building a (relatively simple) RISC-V CPU core using nMigen and it looks like a very nice tool to work with relative to other HDLs I've seen (though I've never had to actually use an HDL myself before so I may not be the best judge). Here's a playlist of the video series, with the earlier videos basically being an introduction to nMigen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgXJf8c5PLo&list=PLEeZWGE3Pw... His use-case is a bit unusual in that his ultimate target is discrete ICs instead of an FPGA, but he's using it to do formal verification of his core before he commits the time to building the schematics and laying out the PCBs.

First of all, I’m pretty sure animals live there, in the « environment ». And animals eat animals, in this « environment ». As far as tv documentaries present this to me (sorry I’ve never been in the real nature in the real life), it’s not « induced ».

The question then is more about how much we eat, what do we consider « ok » to eat, how many are we, and how do we farm to sustain all this.

It’s essentially what we do today. High tax payers consume more and their tax revenues subsidize things like Ag which make things like meat affordable to poor people.

So yeah, get rid of subsidies and replace with UBI and we’re probably in nearly the same place. Maybe a good deal of people would forego newly expensive meat and spend their UBI on the lotto?
> You get rid of subsidies and then poor people can’t eat meat

So stop subsidizing meat and spend the same money augmenting the income of the poor, then poor people will be at least as able to eat meat and be at least as well off when doing so as they were with the meat sibaidies, while those who choose not to will be even better off than they were with meat subsidies.

I have two other accounts here. Why?

Because otherwise I couldn't speak honestly about certain events: I'd either make myself unemployable or make a mess for innocent people.

I.e. because of my unnamed accounts you get to hear more facts.

I also take as much care to be correct on my unnamed accounts such as this one as on the other ones, and I take care not to upvote my own comments. I sometimes have started a discussion with one account and replied downthread in another (not sure if this account or my previous unnamed one) but I try to limit this.

What about these:

- all American presidents in the last hundred years have been war criminals, and would have been hanged if judged by the standards of the Nuremberg trials.

- despite what all tabacco company medical studies claim, tabacco causes cancer

- there are no WMDs in Irak, all of the agencies claiming that they have evidence of such are simply lying to our faces

Which of these are dissent and which are disinformation? What do you think your thoughts would have been on them before their truth became public knowledge?
I’m actually pretty sure anything we do too much is bad somehow.
