I’ve lived in the Bay Area since 2002. During that time I’ve seen Ruby Skye close. A place whose name I can’t recall closed in the design district. DNA Lounge looked like it might go away some years ago. I don’t know what the story was, but a coworker wore a “Save DNA Lounge,” shirt so I have the impression they were in trouble (they’re still open, however).

There was a spot where the basement room had seats from airplanes and was super small and intimate that I’ve never been able to find again after a DnB party (if anyone recognizes this description, please fill me in). I have a sense that there are other places I’ve been that are no more, but it’s been a number of years and there was a lot of alcohol involved.

Hell, there were two websites for tracking events that went defunct over time. BayRaves.com and something else that I don’t recall. We used to have outdoor festivals like Love Parade driving through the streets and then circling up to party at the end of the route. It seem like the scene has been on a slow decline forever.

> mRNA vaccines took absolutely no time to design

Exactly my point. The most important consideration was to get a vaccine out the door fast.

Not spend 4 years 'designing' a vaccine.

I for one am very happy to see that vaccines are now becoming available.

Out of curiosity, what would you want to see clarified? They said that it “may” be an entry point for the SW hack and, according to some National Security folks, it is being investigated.

Is there reason to believe this is incorrect in some way? It may be premature and amount to nothing if Team City had nothing to do with the breach, but it doesn’t appear to be misleading or false. If it was, I’d imagine JetBrains would have filed a lawsuit.
The media has always been biased and plenty of mistakes have been made along the way (Hearst et al.) But I'm going to give more benefit of the doubt to organizations that ostensibly try to be neutral.

In this media bias chart it's interesting that virtually all the most reliable reporting is either in the center or a bit to the left of it: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart-2...

In the end it does require having multiple sources, and a willingness to not let one's own biases get in the way.
Yeah, but all the sites that had this info are all around now.

I like the book recommendation threads on HN for learning stuff.

What’s funny to me is that some of this history is so ingrained that it doesn’t make sense to discuss it. It would be like talking about how great George Washington is all the time.
My apologies, my experience is from a male point of view on this, limits of my biology.

There is a starting strength lift standards which shows more what to expect from a female perspective and is indeed a lot smaller relative to body weight.

Starting strength is definitely a beginner program but it's simplicity is an excellent place to start.

After the SS program I've gone to the Texas Method and enjoyed great success, ymmv.
Do you recognize current gear by touching gear knob on AT car? I never do that on my linear gear knob.
> Exercise requires persistence. You can't really have gaps in it, because you lose your progress.

Well, maintaining your current level of strength is far easier to do than maintaining continuous progress (especially at more advanced stages, which you have to do a lot of fuckery around programming/scheduling in order to realize any progress at all). You just can't do nothing, but the same goes for languages. If you don't use a language at all, your proficiency atrophies over time as well.

It's just not something people really think about. If you were to reach a level of strength you were happy with, you could just figure out a maintenance program and focus your physical energy on other pursuits, extreme sports, slacklining, bouldering, hiking, whatever.

Speaking in effective time, it is obviously more than 60 minutes, I would say rather 160 minutes in the beginning and then getter lower with experience and getting used to it.

Resistance training is great, but let's not oversell it to others! A beginner not only needs to buy stuff (or commute to/from the gym) and create their plan and schedule it, they also need to account for spending extra time to correct their posture, have a longer recovery time, shower etc.

Thinking to get away with 60min from the get go might be discouraging.
How do you think programming and philosophy relate to each other? (2016)
I work with a lot of very talented people.

I frequently watch some of them do a really poor job because they are unable to get over the hangup that "more talented person Y" would be able to do it much better, design it more clearly from the start, etc.

When I look at "more talented person Y", sure, they are more talented, but their work is good because of other behaviors (e.g., a breadth of experimentation before locking in one approach) that have nothing to do with their great intuition/vision about the structure of the result.

Now my advice is "don't look around"...

Preoccupation with talent is a trap, for the more and less talented.
It would be more helpful to correct for bias than to have quick turnaround on fact fixing.

For most news organizations in our new world order it's not an error if it's intentional bias. Those are called lies. Lies have a purpose. We need to ask, "Why lie?". And then use the answer to fix the news.
Reality Driven Development (RDD)
If your company bases security decisions on articles in the NYT then they’re beyond helping. Frankly that’s both laughable and incompetent.

No professional (in any field) should base a decision solely on something written in any secondary source. Even if it was a specialist publication, a competent professional should do their own research, and look at the primary sources.

Imagine if a doctor or civil engineer based professional decisions on what they read in magazines and newspapers. The thought is horrifying.

The problem is not that the NYT article is factually incorrect (if in fact Jet Brains were being investigated, which seems plausible). The problem is that anyone who’s reasoning skills exceed that of a five year old child should realise that there is a good possibility that the investigation would turn out to be a red herring.

That very well may be, especially when viewed from the Free Software philosophy. Also note that Stalman may view Open Source as a regrission too. From the Monetization side (another word that RMS seamed to dislike), they see it as progression.

What would be really nice is either something that works for everyone, or baring that, recognition from all groups that different people have different needs, and those needs have some validity.

If you’re raising the deer, then you’re responsible for the externalities produced by your economic pursuit. If you’re not raising the deer, then they’re the responsibility of humankind as a whole, who is already paying for those externalities (by having to suffer from climate change). The point of a carbon (or methane) tax is to ensure that you pay for your externalities, both to disincentivize you from having them and to repay everyone else for the cost that they’ve been dealt by you.

Suppose you set up a polluting machine that solely emitted carbon, perhaps for art. That goal may be reasonable, but by engaging in it you’re hurting others. A carbon tax makes them whole (by either paying for carbon capture or by direct compensation) and disincentives you from doing it in the first place. If instead it was a naturally occurring polluting machine (a herd of deer, say) then we’d either want to remove it or do something to counteract it, and that cost is paid by everyone. In this case, we’d probably choose to plant trees, rather than killing the deer. (Although the deer population in North America is out of control, so perhaps killing them might be the right choice.)

Starport – The Easiest Way to Build a Blockchain
Given that humanity has been competing in athletics events for thousands of years and that athletic event optimization is a massive industry (including state actors) if there was a learnable mental approach you'd assume they'd have found it by now (and everyone would be using it). Moreover I'd argue the ability to relatively quickly come up with a mental model that the rest of humanity is unable to replicate would itself be a form of innate talent.
It’s not just knowing the edit history, however. When journalists make mistakes their retractions and corrections must be given the same exposure as the original content, to correct the record meaningfully. Otherwise the damage has already been done and people will take the initial content with them forward, shaping their opinions accordingly.

In our field it is actually a reputational risk issue, but you're right. The fact they couldn't come up with a better solution than banning Jetbrains doesn't speak well.

I don't know what you're arguing against, exactly. If you take two athletes with similar physical qualities, and one receives appropriate training while the other does not, the former will outcompete the latter. I'm assuming that everyone in the far right tail of elite performance has the biological advantages you mentioned.

Let's simplify the model to two distributions to make it easier to see: well-trained vs. poorly-trained individuals, where the variance of each distribution is largely accounted for by physical differences. So long as these two distributions overlap, it is a mathematical certainty that some poorly-trained individuals will outperform some well-trained individuals, due to physical and genetic markers. So far so good.

I'm suggesting that there are several overlapping distributions, and that it's impossible to know with certainty whether you've lost to someone due to their physical advantage or their superior cognitive approach & training - if you are only considering the two of you in isolation. The question must be asked of populations, not of individuals.

Anyone who has experienced breaking through plateaus after a decade of training knows this is true. Whatever seem absurd to you must be due to some other miscommunication. I specifically exempted the top elite performers from consideration because in that restricted case my argument no longer holds. I thought that was clear.
The explanation I heard was that during the second world war, as the US and British forces advanced in Europe, the Americans would chalk 'Kilroy was here' on some landmark, and the British would add the Chad graphic, reminiscent of a gang sign. 'Chad' used to be associated with protests against shortages due to war rationing, a forlorn figure peering over a wall exclaiming "Wot, no fish?" or "Wot, no sugar?"
I am worried about github being free. I'd love it if they publish how much it cost them to offer all the free repos, free webpages, free ci, ... I can only imagine the growth rate accelerating over time to the point they'll need to stop the free tier or limit it in some way.
> Speaking in effective time, it is obviously more than 60 minutes, I would say rather 160 minutes in the beginning and then getter lower with experience and getting used to it.

I seriously disagree with this. 60 minutes is more than sufficient if you aren't screwing around. I also think it's baffling that people are still recommending Starting Strength when there are far more efficient and productive programs to start off with.

Especially as a beginner, you can get a significant training stimulus without having to waste 2-3 hours of your day. How absurd. Think 80/20. I even think spending that much time would be more detrimental than beneficial in the beginning.
Same here. Option Click does special stuff on a lot of things, I didn't know about this one.

I think this is a terrible idea, and it would be bad for everyone. If we put in a cap on the total amount of money a person can create in a year, control over resources will rapidly shift from the Elon Musks of the world to incompetent government boards.

Look at how much innovation has happened in aerospace and electric vehicles as control has shifted from the lethargic (and largely government-controlled/bailed-out) legacy aerospace companies and automakers. This is not an accident or mere correlation: the mind needs to be free of coercion to think, and there is no organization more coercive than a government that violates individual rights (especially the right to trade freely and keep private property!)

Private profit and ownership is good for brilliant individuals. When they are free to innovate, that's good the natural environment, and for ensuring that the human race becomes a multi-planetary species, capable of resisting extinction events such as asteroids.
The difference from being obese to being fit has been night and day for me.

It renders to canvas to draw the pdf so all it has is a bitmap, hence the bitmap printing. To get decent quality with bitmap printing you have to do really high res which eats memory and is slow.

They were working on an SVG renderer to support proper vector printing still don’t think its done. They should have used SVG to begin with.

I actually like the idea of pdf.js, having a pure browser based pdf viewer is a good thing, really needs good vector print support though to be serious.

I never bothered to figure out if Ubuntu kept parts of the name between the 16.04 and the 16.10 version, or if they just used the next letter in the alphabet.

The iso images are numbered (ubuntu-server-16.04.02-x64.iso or whatever) thankfully, so i have 4 ubuntu templates - "leaving LTS this year", the next two LTS, and whatever the 9 month version is currently (20.10 being the current 9 month version)

Thankfully qemu/docker/lxc have made "freezing" a stable, working machine at 16.04 (or even 14.04 if you had the foresight to set it up on qemu at least) - but now i have tons of naming issues. We use a pooled hypervisor system, so sometimes i name things after which pool "server" they are on because i will spin two vms on different servers in the pool with the same VM name (say asterisk-voip) but when you log in it will say asterisk-pve2 or asterisk-wok3 as a quick "hint" as to when i actually "finished" installing it.

for DNS i only name stuff when an "app" requires it either for TLS/SSL or whatever reason. I don't maintain a real DNS server anywhere, and i really should, but i don't like naming things for literally all of the reasons hashed over by everyone in this thread!

The weasel-wording still left most readers with a clear impression that flaws in JetBrains software were directly implicated in the hack, and many US companies proceeded on that basis.

But it wasn't -- the attackers had reconfigured the build servers to add malicious code to product builds, but their malware was targeting MSBUILD.EXE processes on startup, and would have worked just the same if SolarWinds wasn't using JetBrains at all, and those processes were started instead by Jenkins, CircleCI, or a human typing at a command line. Here's a technical writeup:

https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/sunspot-malware-technical-a...

As to the lawsuit: JetBrains is not based in the US; a lawsuit would probably take years to reach resolution, and be a massive, expensive distraction.
Nothing happens. They just keep printing.
I prefer to have mostly meaningless names for machines, and then having more names for them in DNS for their various functions. That way the functions can be moved about the machines and if that's what you care about, then that's how you refer to them (deploy the app Foobar to web01 and web02), but when a machine goes down, you can shout, "clark is down!" web01/dns01/sto01 being down only means the service is down, whereas clark being down is something more severe.

Is it? I find it hard to believe that. If that was true, the market for these products would be vanishingly small. Every potential customer would be merely in the process of transitioning out of the market.

>Most educated people believe that premier news outlets are inherently trustworthy.

The switch from printed to online distribution changed the game completely.

If you are selling printed copies, you are physically limited in how much text you can cram into a single issue. So, publishers (in non-yellow segments) compete on the ability to create well-researched informative content that will be relevant to a large group of readers. You want your readers to trust you as a reputable source, so they will keep buying your issues.

With digital ad-sponsored distribution the competition is about churning out as much low-quality clickbait as possible. If you spend time researching the topic and validating your sources, while your competitor hires 5 fresh graduates to write 5 slightly different nonsensical articles on the same topic, you will quickly be out of business. You don't care that most of your readers will forget what they read in less than an hour. You don't care that the most clickbaity articles end up being the most divisive. You are now competing for 30 seconds of attention from 10 million of readers, and that's the only way to win that competition.

Beyond that, during the Cuban Missile Crisis the US warships harassed Russian subs that (unbeknownst to them) had nuclear torpedos. These subs thought the US ships were trying to sink them, and as a result they nearly launched their nukes as a last resort.
I don't know, anecdotally, relationships broke down with me and other stakeholders, and I ended up leaving the company, after I pushed hard for an amazing candidate, the first to ever ace my interviews, whereas said other stakeholders wanted a certain diversity candidate, who while I enjoyed meeting didn't do that well. The funny thing is in SF it's the bro-y white guy CEOs who push the wokeness the hardest. Almost feels performative. SF needs to solve these problems if they want to be a tech mecca.
