@rocqua Your explanation is interesting, but seems to omit the third derivative "jerk" - not intended as a slur.
Totally agree,

I'd like only to add that, what many artists (and in general people who pursue their artistic passions) had, compared to the agerage workin-joe, is TIME.

The only way to understand your passions is by having time to observe your world, to reflect on people's actions, to contemplate nature. If you have to work (because you're the bread-winner and have 2 children already and an house to pay), your only glimmer of hope is to have already found your passion during your younger years.

Finally, your energy levels going on are never gonna be your current ones. Keep that in mind.

And I say that as a man who had a fair number of interests, never had time to really pursue them, and now has to to a work I hate and have no remaining passion at all.
"There is a one in 1,000 chance that the measurement is a statistical coincidence", grammatically, presumes the measurement which did in fact occur and says something about the chance that a statistical coincidence did, in fact, happen. It's P(hypothesis | data). This is a classic no-no in science writing.

"There is a one in 1,000 chance that the measurement would arise by statistical coincidence" uses the conditional, (implicitly) presuming a hypothesis and saying something about the chance that, under that hypothesis, such a measurement as occurred would occur. It's P(data | hypothesis).

They allow specifically that though?

You can disable/enable Boehm in Crystal code as well, so at the very least you can take control of when/how GC runs.
This fact, and the OP title, are confusing the snapshot of minimum inventory with "homes for sale". Since there were over 5.4 million sales in 2019, there were way more listings during the year than agents.

This is a market problem. All but the last password manager to do this would go out of business, due to reduced utility vs alternatives.
Working in one of the companies OP mentioned. Don't assume that work at FAANG is automatically "interesting". You will do work others think is required for the company, "interesting" is never the key someone higher on the ladder is striving for.

If you want to work on interesting topics, start a side project and try to turn it into a company.

I was given the impression by my professors that it was a purposeful move, maybe it was just in teaching and not research. I'll defer to you, the actual particle physicist.
That's odd, models for Germany predicted a tripling of the rate in a few weeks (unless there is a stricter lockdown), and the observations of the past few weeks bear this out. B.1.1.7 is more contagious (and more lethal), we've seen this in the UK and in Denmark, and we're seeing it now in Germany, where it has become the dominant strain within a couple of months. I don't see why it would be different in Belgium.

You claimed we wouldn't need a lockdown if we had vaccinated twice as many people, which is just incorrect, for the reasons outlined above: we're still left with vast parts of the population with no immunity, enough of whom would be hospitalized to oversaturate hospitals.

Edit: just looked it up, and Belgium has already doubled compared to one month ago, and is at double the rate that Germany currently has.
Well we all wanted "OAuth", "OIDC" and other related stuff...for privacy! Now we wonder why chat apps can't interoperate, we have walled gardens, Google's killing the open web, and numerous other dysfunctional things going on on the internet that I can't enumerate fully without making it all sound like baseless rambling.
JIRA tickets are used by everyone managing every sort of project. Development teams, recruitment pipelines, long term strategy - thinking that it's just for 'IT' is silly.

> the Russian vaccine, but the EMA hasn’t approved it yet. Why not?

Because nobody applied for approval for the longest time. It was just a few weeks ago that a German company decided to apply for this approval. Now the wheels of assessment are turning.

> Fast hardware prototyping becomes significantly easier, so that effort can be concentrated on the software development.

There's no doubt that it's very appealing as a product and a huge amount of work and love has been into it, but I'm struggling to understand the use case. People who spend time doing hardware prototyping, or software development for custom hardware, surely aren't going to be fazed by just using an actual Raspberry Pi (with Wi-Fi, bluetooth, MicroSD slot, dual HDMI out, Ethernet, USB (2 and 3), etc. already built in) and using a couple of pre-built HATs, or some DuPont connectors to a peripheral from an established provider. You would end up with something much easier to scale up or reproduce, probably for much less money. To my mind, the major benefit seems to be the encapsulation - effectively automatic custom housings.
As it was explained to me, he finds the risk to his main desktop environment of browser fingerprinting/tracking by fb and its tracking-pixel using "partners" to be unacceptably high. By only using the browser in the vm to login to facebook and never anything else, this diminishes the risk.
That was my first thought, where's the server-side validation that the amount submitted is in-line with what the UI showed. In this case it was higher than the UI stated, but what happens if it was lower...
Thank you, and man, HN should do this automatically..
If you live in Urban areas, you expect to have Water, Electricity and sewage pipes as standards in building. Why cant you add Fibre to that list? Standardising Fibre in the building and ISP only gets to FTTB. Effectively making it like DSL.
That's not even true.

Eg. Sometimes you can fix the issue, but you still need a computer to reset the "error light" on your dashboard.

In general, the direction is clear. While you can still have some manufacturers that aren't requiring it now. It will be in the future.

Source: a family member has a "non-brand" garage shop with specialization in one brand and now he can work better on cars, because he bought the computer when an official shop went bankrupt ( that was ~2 years ago).

Last time I saw him ( 1 week ago), there was a big similarity to Jhon Deere and the Ukranian developers that have unofficial software to work on the machine)

What amazes me every time I read articles like this is that some companies are apparently so afraid of hiring the wrong people because that's costly - and at the same time they don't mind throwing abandoned projects that did cost millions of dollars on the graveyard every month.
In case it helps, following that logic, green jelly beans could cause acne and there would be "roughly a 5% chance that the measurement is a statistical coincidence": https://xkcd.com/882/
This is essentially a scam

Not always. I just got a hand-written letter from a losing bidder on another home in our small complex that sold last month.

Why is everyone here comparing Discord to Slack or Zoom? Discord is purely a play for MS in its drive into gaming.

Look, that may be so, but if it is, then they should either omit such a line entirely so as not to mislead their readers, select better language so that we don't collapse concepts which are fundamentally, completely, different from each other, or they could try to educate the public on a distinction which is fundamental to science.

I mean, we might as well say that the BBC should just use the words "million" and "billion" interchangeably because most readers have no sense of scale.

Bottom line: thanks to this line, the reader is likely to think that new physics has very likely been discovered, when the opposite is the case.
SARS-CoV-2 is spectacularly well-adapted for infecting humans, the original SARS and other animal-origin viruses are not.

The idea that this thing sprang out of the wild, in Wuhan of all places, perfectly adapted to infect human beings, is fucking laughable.
It's worth noting that Ruby's support for Windows could not be described as first class for a long time. And that was in a world without WSL.

There's sense in just releasing for nix platforms if you have them ready to go, especially when you expect your initial target market to be deploying on nix systems.
Wow, what's wrong with the management of AZ trials that so many mistakes are being made? I assume running trials should be an easy thing for a drug company to do.
> If it would take them less than 500 years, then, in some sense, Discord isn't 10 billion dollars worth of software.

I think the problem is that this random group of people could never create Discord.

They could create a superficially similar chat application, but it’s just as likely to be worse as better.
How can something you wear so light on your sleeve cause you such angst that it "grinds your gears." Though you may have resigned in this tumult, I believe you still need to resolve something far deeper in your perspective on knowledge with regard to yourself and others.
So they posted a blog before informing their customers directly?

They had time to write, post and update, and I am still not seeing any emails about it
I cannot confirm either of these claims. Although the former depends on the exact definition of "major", I guess.
FIRE = Financial Independence, Retire Early. What you are talking about is the FI part, retirement is a different concept and means not working. In FIRE context retirement means exactly the same as it means commonly.
I agree, I understand the difference between the conditionals, but was trying to get what the OP was criticising. I think this is much more a interpretation of language issue than a correct/incorrect in the formal sense issue.
What does the browser has to do with how amazon implements their search? Amazon probably parses the User Agent and puts mozilla there for some reason.
I have good memories of studying logic at university with Understanding Symbolic Logic by Virginia Klenk.
I did not even see this at first. But they did really write that the chance of "no new physics" is 1:1000, right? So they gave "there is new physics" interpretation a huge probability.

Seriously, I completely glanced over this. Slightly embarrassing.

In any case, if the LHC runs thousands of such experiments, we do expect such signals, right?
I think it's a bit ridiculous how every other day the Go post on HN is just about how shit it is. And then people arguing in the comments about how "it's not simple" and bringing up things you can learn in 5 minutes.

It's just old and tiring to hear the same shit over and over again.

You americans are a bunch of nutters. You would believe russiagate, and any slander regarding people your "intelligence agencies" and your "military complex" has decided to label as enemies. Bunch of ignorant criminals whose mentality is formed by the idiotic holywood industry, accusing others of sins of which you are far more guilty than the ones you accuse, starting from the real genocide you perpetrated in the Middle East.

It wasn't Li Wenliang's post that activated the Taiwanese response. It was the Chinese government's public alert on 30 December 2019 about a cluster of patients with "pneumonia of unknown etiology" that triggered the response.
Plus COVID-19 positie blood samples in France from Nov/Dec 2019. That alone is reason for me to believe that the Wuhan lab has nothing to do with it. It just so happened that Wuhan was the first major outbreak.

That being said, I don't know how the origin would help us right now. We have working vaccines. So the solution is to push vaccinations as fast as possible. The origin of the virus isn't that important right now.
Can you expand what you mean by 24/7?
> they don't guard against administrative error or massive pwnage (think ransomware).

It does if you fully automate it and also invert control and think of your backup servers as a place to deposit stuff which is then rotated out into immutable snapshots - this is how rsync.net works, but I couldn't use them due to location requirements so I built my own based on ZoL.

> any filesystem-based replication should be backed up by a logical copy, e.g. a tar or a zip file or just an "aws s3 cp -r". I have seen even checksummed file systems replicate data incorrectly due to bugs, unlucky bit-flips, ECC errors, CPUs literally taking the wrong branch

This is literally what ZFS was designed for, I would agree with you if it was any other file system, but ZFS is not any other file system - of course you do need to throw enough redundant hardware at it for it to be able to cope with this stuff though, a mirrored pair at minimum.
Your cell phone service is lame too. What gives?
In certain countries just possessing a file or app of a certain title could get you killed...

There are Covid cases in Europe from November and December 2019. Just saying.
This may just be a language subtlety. I’ve frequently heard “grinds my gears” used as a synonym for “a pet peeve of mine”.
Also, it's not like they can actually find out what happened now, a year later. Not without a time-machine or perfect recordings showing some sort of ridiculously straightforward sequence of events. E.g. They find a recording showing a bat biting someone in a lab and that person hiding it and then later showing him touching fish at the market. Come on, who thinks it'd be that easy?

What they'd most likely output is a "report" with "findings" that "point to" or "suggest" certain things like bad protocols or insecure procedures or disconnected safety sensors etc. Hardly evidence, and not really actionable even if they were allowed to get there and eventually publish it.

This is the same kind of crap as with the "election" report in the US. They couldn't find hard-evidence because despite this being 2020, camera's aren't everywhere, evidence isn't readily available, and not everyone is keep ridiculous-level audit logs and collating as much info as we want. All they eventually put in their report were discrepancies, not-installed windows updates, internet-connected machines, etc. No smoking gun, and understandably so because even if it did happen, there is no easy and straightforward way to prove it.
IMHO vertical integrations through acquisitions on such a scale and of such importance ( Microsoft gobbling up studios and gaming tooling such as Discors) should be investigated and stoped on anti-trust grounds, or at least MS should be forced to do interoperability. It will drastically tilt the scales towards Xbox and MS cloud gaming if there's a tight integration with Discord and many Microsoft-owned exclusives.
I don't disagree about this use of defamation defense leaving a bad taste(it's been used by Trump to great success as well). I looked at the original complaint(https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/do...) and I don't think there's any claim that alleges she made provably wrong factual claims. They do allege that she based several of her opinions on likely false(or missing) evidence, which is promising, but the bar they need to pass is purposefully high - they'd need to prove she knew the evidence was false(or lied about it existing).

Let's try to do it differently. One solution is to only allow truthful statements - this would most likely catch Powell. But that means you have to litigate every defamation claim on its merits, you would need a trial for each to determine whether the statements are "true" or not. Consider the complexity of the Oracle vs Google case, how difficult it is to establish facts in front of a court. Now imagine every giant corp brings defamation lawsuits against its detractors - sue all the random bloggers trying to bright to light that your medicine doesn't work, or that you're using child labor. Of course you have "mountains of evidence" against it, or at least you can claim so, and force a lengthy trial against people who can't afford it. How would you tackle this problem?

Even worse, what if you publish an extensive expose, but some of your facts are wrong? This is actually what happened in the decision that paved the way for the modern defamation defense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan) Back then, it was the government trying to silence civil rights activism, nowadays it's more and more large corporations that would rather not have their dirty laundry aired. I genuinely don't see a way to amend the standard without sacrificing a lot of freedom of speech in the process.

What would have happened if Theranos sued all the publications that exposed their nonfunctional product? Would the publications even risk publishing if defamation suits always hang over their heads?
Make no mistake, I think they should teach the b-quark as "bottom quark" to the general public and students. What particle physicist actually choose to use should be done at their own whimsy. I appreciate your diagnosis though, always feel I could be a bit more introspective.

Those are legitimate reasons.

Look, the people who should have been sorting out vaccines were running around like headless chickens trying to deal with a global pandemic.

Nobody has experience with this, and pretty much all Western governments thought they were done post June 2020, which clearly wasn't the case.

They focused on other things (and there were lots of other things to focus on), and it's caused massive problems now.

I completely agree that we should have built more manufacturing, but we didn't know which vaccines would work at the time.

To be honest, the only people who could have actually made this happen was the US Federal Government in 2020, and they were focused on different things.

If someone wants software now, rather than in 450 years it may be worth paying a premium.
Is this based on experience or just speculation? I have used Crystal to create shared libraries which I've called from various other languages (JS, Dart, Ruby, even C) and it worked well enough.
Almost certainly an accidental lab release.

anyone know if that applies to the real world?
This is technically correct as the commenter asked "How does Mozilla make money?", but I suspect they were really enquiring how Firefox is funded.

Many people are a bit shocked to learn Mozilla Foundation does not fund Firefox. Firefox is funded by search deals (mostly by Google); Mozilla spends donations elsewhere.
I have some limited experience in naval war ship combat software. There are many systems on a ship that can be fully automatic and that was even true before AI was a thing. The Goalkeeper https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goalkeeper from the 80's is for example a fully automatic gun that can take out incoming attacks but also make strategic attacks. This system has to be turned on manually and a chief has to approve to the maximum capabilities such as the maximum amount of bullets the system is allowed to use. Other software already can give the operations team the advice to enable it without using fancy AI. But the command still has to travel by 3 people before it can be turned on. This is mostly because of safety. So I expect that the same will happen in other fields. A human probably has to get the advice from the machine and decide if an other machine is allowed to do a thing.
I really miss my commute to work as well. It was a 35 minute walk or a 9 minute bike ride, and I did it 5 days a week without thinking about it. In the morning it helped me wake up and after work it helped me _reset_ and not think about work.

I've lost that completely now, I find it extremely difficult to motivate myself to go out for a walk when there is no goal. Also the office was much bigger and the walk from my desk to get a tea or go to the bathroom let me get around 3k steps a day just inside the office.

I can easily manage sub 1k steps a day nowdays since my desk/couch/kitchen/bathroom are about 20 steps from each other. Combine that with gyms being shut and lockdown preventing me from going surfing, I am in the worst shape I have ever been.

I guess working from home without lockdown would be a different experience, but as it stands now, I really need to be in the office for my general health.
However confident people are hat they can do the job the point of the interview is to convince the recruiters.
