Maybe I got a little too worked up in my other comment. Maybe you didn’t mean the tone that I took your comment as.

But in a serious answer to your last sentence ” And the thing is, I don’t know if I just learned web dev if I would love this new approach to software that is eating the world and I would “get it”. Or if it just exists because JavaScript developers don’t want to learn something new.”

My opinion is the answer is a resounding “No, you will not just get it”.

This is a complicated question of course, but to distill my thoughts down

1) You do not need to view web development as a threat to your skill set. You didn’t say specifically what stack you work in, but I have to believe that you will be able to continue making a living in it.

2) Tools like Deno are specifically designed for and intended for web developers to be able to easily leverage their skill set in other areas like systems.

So if your not a web developer, and you don’t have a particular interest in learning web languages/ APIs, then don’t worry about it. Just because it’s trendy right now doesn’t make it a better approach technically speaking. It’s quite possibly worse than the approaches you know.

So what I’m saying is this tool isn’t meant for you. And that’s ok. Just because it makes HN front page and web development is huge right now, doesn’t diminish the tech you know to be good.

Last sentence of the blog post:
”The Deno company hopes to enable the millions of web programmers out there to maximally leverage their craft in other domains.”
I would find any older man hanging out with 18-19 year olds sufficiently weird to raise my guards. I can imagine just a single reason that makes them think its a good idea to skirt the line that closely.

You're right, in the end you need proof for a conviction. We however don't need that high a bar to get a pretty good measure of a person, and we're free to dislike someone for manoeuvring themselves into situations where abuse of power imbalance is made so easy. I'm always open to correction in particular cases, but my default will always be to be aware of the decreased barriers of committing abuse.

Why did it take them till 2021 to figure this out? Oh thats right. PHP.
I guess that's to stop repairers telling you 'probably worth changing the battery while we're at it' when that's not true - similar to many disreputable car mechanics.
Maybe if they'd stop molesting children and protecting the molesters when it happens they'd have more members.

At this point if you're a member you're arguably complicit in some sick organization facilitating child abuse.

Good Riddance.
> over the fact that it's slower than what native C would get them.

You have a quote for that? Cython code, in the context of "C-extended-python" probably never is slower than native C. There has been a lot of work over the years to make sure of that.

Now, if you want to compare it to "a C program/library in the wild", then we are not comparing apples to apples. The whole point of Cython is inserting C code into a Python module, to have (high performance) C code inside a Python environment.
That's especially weird as in the Apple Store, they will not do it under warranty but will replace your battery even if it's 80%+ for the usual rate. They heavily discourage it though (since if your battery isn't that degraded the system won't start downclocking).
I'm sorry, I've progressively improved the site behavior on mobile but the ASCII art is the one thing I haven't been able to figure out without compromising my "values" :)

I could probably do something with CSS to swap it for a version that isn't sensitive to reflowing. I'll put it on the todo list.
Or call them an astrologist. They love that.

In the short run, expand then compress, expand then compress. In the long run, the size of the model will always compress toward the capacity of the most intelligent individual.
The users I was thinking of were more along the lines of people that run cargo-geiger etc, which just looks for "unsafe" in the source rather than anything dynamic based on selected features.
That's because they are served cured and fermented and never fresh. So there's no season for them.
I've used PCalc for years (I'm pretty sure that I started using it when MacOS 9 was still the main operating system).

It also works for iOS and WatchOS.
Reducing that damn, dirty AWS bill
I have been in the data science and machine learning space for the majority of my career, but have more recently spent time in meddling around with infrastructure. Could be the naivety, though the complexity (and inefficiency) of bundled cloud tools bothered me, so I built a tool to help manage costs ([BlueArch.io](https://bluearch.io/))

It still requires some policy finagling, so it's not self service yet, however, I'd love y'alls candid feedback on the tool.

For those who live for the meta, what role do you see cloud solution architects playing in the future?
I used to do apartment maintenance and I considered asking someone to use their bathroom completely unprofessional. I peed in bottles and never thought it a big deal.

A simple question, do you always offer water and a restroom to blue collar workers who enter your home? If so, you are in the 1%.
What do you think about recommended add-ons by Firefox, for example Tranquility Reader https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tranquility-1... ? Their code is supposed to be checked by Firefox team, so it's probably safe to use.

Mallocarray exists for a very good reason. If you don't check for overflow you can allocate a much smaller buffer than needed. Mallocarray handles this case for you.
I personally designed and participated in the implementation of a hybrid cognitive architecture which combined both NNs and GOFAI.

We (http://www.heurolabs.com) are contemplating open sourcing it, or at least publish the design documents
The baseline expectation of social niceties is the lubricant upon which our human systems run. That you don't personally find them necessary, or even perhaps find them aggravating, does not mean that they should not be by-default valued in the recognition that the person at the other end of the line is a fellow human being with feelings and needs.

It does not take much effort to be nice in the general case. Your desire for efficiency does not supersede respect for others' humanity. And, frankly--resentment at a coworker for saying "good morning"? Yikes.

No such thing.
Depends on the fault. If the schematics are readily available and replacement parts are there, it would take maybe 20-40 minutes of troubleshooting? Sure its complicated, but if you charge $150-200/hour, it can certainly be cost effective when the alternative is $1200 for a new PCB or $2500 for a new laptop.
For me it is the best book for language learning I have ever seen, irrespective of the target language.
You beat me to it. I have both a Conbee II and a Nortek HUSBZB, and the Nortek is much more reliable. Whether it's better hardware, or if it's the software (Home Assistant's ZHA), I don't know.

But same experience with Dresden/deCONZ. It's flaky.

Right now I have split networks while I lazily migrate devices away from deCONZ. So far every glitch I've encountered has been on the deCONZ network.

Which is a shame, because I really like the software UI. ZHA doesn't expose as much (or not as simply). But it works better, and that counts for more.
I once read, there is no such thing as group brainstorming. Social pressure will always negate any potential benefits.
Churchill was an amateur brick layer in his spare time, I wonder where that left him.

You do know Kathleen Kennedy has worked on many successful, beloved movies and was hired for that reason by George Lucas, right? Whatever imaginary version of Kennedy lives in your head strikes me as not particularly plausible.

It doesn't even matter if the characters in Star Wars are white or black or brown- they appear to live in a society with no human concept of race- so I don't even know why you keep bring up the topic of diversity? Human races have zero to do with the plot of any Star Wars ever.

From what i've seen of it Mandalorian depicts a color blind, gender blind social world just like the sequal trilogy, they are sort of the same, so why go on about it?

I don't know why you keep bringing up diversity? It has nothing to do with the characters or why Mandorian is different from the movies so who cares?

The fact you enjoy Mandolorian but not the films just suggests you like one thing and don't like another. It says nothing about gender, diversity, artistic intent (artists tend to try to make good art even if they fail at it. Business people tend to try to make money.) so I don't know how else to explain your posts other than reactionary.

It's cool you like the Mandalorian but you don't actually know the motives of anyone involved, you just know you like the art they made.
It's getting buried because people downvote what they can't argue. Amazon isn't doing anything different than any other company, or anything that has been a problem before now.

Unionists are lying, conflating contractors and employees, and everyone here is buying it - probably because it fits an existing narrative. I'm being told, by privileged SF types, that I need to educate myself, when they've apparently never worked a day as a contractor, or perhaps never even worked a real job (ie, uncomfortable) in their life.

The pee bottle is being used as an excuse to unionize, even though it's something contractors choose to do in all driving jobs.

Also, when I say "drive for another company tomorrow", that's the ground reality. If you show up sober and well-dressed at any courier company you'll have a magnetic sign on your car and a load of packages right away. (And couriering is generally to offices with a ton of washrooms so you can weigh that in the calculation.)
I think when people talk about a "literal" interpretation of the Bible, they mean that it uses human language (including figures of speech like "sunrise", number rounding/approximation, etc) to describe literal, historical events with exceptions for explicit fictions or metaphors (such as psalms or parables).
It's peculiar you chose to focus on gaming. What of professional uses cases? Science, art, engineering.

Even so, GPU demand from gaming is satisfiable.

Mining demand only ceases once the price of the underlying instruments fall sufficiently. More mining won't necessarily make that happen.

My argument is that the mining dynamic itself is potentially insatiable and fundamentally detrimental on a societal level, whilst highly distasteful at that.

It's like advocating for a never-ending greed olympics.

> What's wrong with "I'd use a library" or "I'd Google it"?

I meant if that’s their only answer and they aren’t able to design something like a linked list from scratch.

Usually the answer went like “I’d of course use the built in class Foo, but for purposes of this answer, yadda yadda yadda”

Sometimes I would get someone who would argue over wherever it’s a dumb question or try to explain how they don’t know how to make getters and setters because they would just Google the answer. So that’s a bad sign for culture, teamwork.

IRL you don’t want people making their own linkedlists, just like no one should actually write FizzBuzz.

But it’s helpful to filter out the number of non-programmers who apply for programmer jobs.
They denied it, though, instead of posting more truthfully that this is not an exceptional working condition for delivery drivers. My friend works at UPS, is a teamsters member, and said: "Every single male delivery driver ever has peed in a bottle at some point". Which makes this particular criticism of Amazon lose its sting. Instead of simply telling the truth, they decided to lie?
>the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.

They have exclusive possession or control of supply of these types of chips. I'm not sure if the question of whether or not they could sell or want to sell it comes into question. Lets say I buy up all the supplies of diamonds and exclude the use of diamonds in any other use than my jewelry. I believe this still falls under a monopoly
I fully understand your approach but it sounds a bit incompatible with advertising the release on HN
Using my family as an example and guestimating some numbers...

1. One 24 minute episode of a show during dinner with the family. That's not strictly accurate, but it averages out around there. That's 30 episodes per month, at 13 episodes per volume and $20 per volume (on itunes), that's ~ $46 / month.

2. One 47 minute episode of a show with my wife, each weeknight. That's 20 episodes per month, at $30 for 26 episodes on iTunes, that's $23 per month.

3. Two movies per month with the family (one per two weekends.. I'm guessing here), at lets say $12 per movie, is $24 per month.

4. Some nights I watch TV alone, as does my wife. Lets call it one show per 1 between the two of us. So 30 shows per month at an average of something like 20 shows per season and $20 per season on iTunes, is $30 / month.

So with that, we have

46 + 23 + 24 + 30 = $123 / month.

Everything we watch is one of two services we pay for, for a total of something like $30 per month. Streaming wins by a LARGE margin.

And that doesn't even count the mental cost of binging. If I binge and each episode costs me additional money, I have t justify it to myself. When I'm paying monthly for all you can watch, that isn't a problem.
There is a market (well, a need at least) for nonsense detectors that work similarly to the way ad blockers work. Detect internal inconsistencies, non-sequiturs, low information density and other similar reasons to avoid reading the text -- and visibly flag or block that.

That should eliminate 80%+ of existing human generated text content and lead to text generators composing useful articles.
No. No. No. This is a complete misrepresentation of the events.

Stallman created a GNU project which culminated in the GNU/Linux OS. His contribution is far more important that that of Torvalds, because by the time linux kernel appeared, the emergence of GNU-licensed kernel for GNU OS was inevitable. Had Linux been licensed differently, it would not gain a fraction of traction it received licensed under GPL, and the GNU project would come up with something anyway. They just didn't need it after they had one good kernel. So, without Torvalds ot would have been someone else. Without Stallman, there would be no GNU.

All of this happened a decade before corporations started to take notice. By the time it happened, a great number of developers contributed to the GNU project and have created a lot of applications.
Emerging evidence suggests that basically everything has a "sleep-like" state (lowered activity, periodic, homeostatically regulated, increased arousal threshold, necessary for good health).

In most things with good experimental models for learning and memory, this sleep-like state supports formation of long term memories, e.g. [0] in nematode worms and [1] in honeybees.

So really the rate limiting step is the discovery of how to interrogate/characterize behavior, learning and memory in weird little critters that don't sense or behave like mammals.

Of course there is also the philosophical question re: qualia of memory-reconsolidation-associated processes in sleep and whether they feels the same to a human or nematode - Probably not, as everything else probably feels pretty different to them too! But from a behavioralist perspective they're pretty much the same modulo the behavioral range of a human or a worm.

I'd rather the telephone industry spend $1 on hardware than see them spend $1 on license fees.

The story now is "$80 billion in license fees" and "$20 billion in hardware" and that seems the wrong way around -- when most folks play poker the stakes are supposed go up, not down.
GPT-3 is just as much of a cheat as using a thesaurus. New writing tools shouldn't be banned just because old people didn't have those tools.
This is a welcome development, but still NOT a substitute for right to repair laws and fully independent vendors.
Netlify are on multiple providers, but due to the DNS spec being old ( no CNAMEs at root) many providers respecting it without providing CNAME flattening, in some cases you have to give use a regular old IP as an A record, hence the impact of the GCP load balancer being down.

If one was using CNAME flattening, there was zero impact.
I'd be interested to hear about the safety features.

On the other hand, there are some common data structures that are essential in day to day software development.

Hash maps are one of them. If you're not aware of their performance benefits, it will probably impact the quality of your work.

I think it would be fair to test for that with a scenario where a hash map is required, and see what they do. No coding involved, just "what would you do here".
You do realize that, when talking about a bearded man on a cloud, I was making a point about the fact that most of what the three monotheistic religions you mention (BTW 3 out of many, many equivalently deluded things) are essentially fairy tales designed to control the minds of men?

If at one time the bearded man on a cloud was the useful tool of the day to manipulate crowds and was later "condemned" because better ways were devised to keep the flock believing, in what way does that affect my argument that 90% of religion is utter, unprovable, fairy-tale BS?

[EDIT]: and yeah if you insist on plowing the dirt of literal interpretation, I'll point you to this argument made by another poster : please take a look at the first image that pops when querying google for "god" and come back and tell us that the argument has no basis.

I think visual analogues guide abstract analysis of the analogues. In our brain we recognize shapes as similar whether that be visual shares or shapes of conceptual analysis. Category theory has an appealing visual base of links/arrows between things.
Designing a 36-key custom keyboard layout
There is someone with the same model who is doing very well or at least claims to be doing so on IndieHackers. I'd follow their website! https://www.designjoy.co/
The main utility the OSI model has served me is being able to recite it for job interviews.

More honestly, though, I think the OSI model can be used very constructively in teaching by contrasting it with IP. IP is simpler and also less feature-rich; you can learn a lot about IP by noticing which aspects of the OSI model were "left out" from IP (putting it that way muddles the timeline but probably also isn't that inaccurate) and how it varies from what was designed at one point as a "complete" protocol set. But this is all a part of my larger philosophy of a "historical approach" to teaching networking. It's not too uncommon for instructors to do this by discussing X.25 and/or ALOHA early on and then comparing/contrasting IP, but for whatever reason it is typical to introduce the OSI model alongside IP without the historical context of what the OSI model is and isn't useful for today.
Oh, yes, that would be a bit tricky. Well, consider yourself invited anyway if you ever make it to Europe. You wouldn't be the first HN'er from the other side of the Atlantic either to visit and that one got out alive ;)
Joint Statement on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Between Iran, China
Haha it could very well have been that! In reality what happened is that we lived in a small town (in Mexico, called Campeche. Late 80s and 90s) and the only quality schooling at that place and time was catholic schools.
How do you expect plants to photosynthesize at night without light. I don't think that holds up
> That's why you shouldn't be asking a question where that's a good answer in the first place.

I’d like a better question, but time is limited and spending lots of time on explaining the context behind a real example is harder. Although it’s not like I’m married to these questions and would gladly replace them with some generic question that tries to address threading, resource management, and whatever linked lists are supposed to test.
I see more than 20 networks in the building I'm in, so that is already happening.

Most people I know don't have cables going to different rooms, there's a router where the signal comes in and wifi from there. Often there's not even the choice which room or part of the room that is.

Unless your building is relatively new and someone thought about setting up the cables, it can be very expensive to do so later.
Apologies for missing your question. Here's the link for my recipe[0]. It's really easy, but I think keeping the dough moist and the oven sufficiently humid is quite important. Fortunately, that's generally hard to mess up. Bonne chance !

Visa settling dollar-denominated accounts with member banks seems like it must be very much a solved problem, that furthermore doesn’t need any kind of decentralized ledger or smart contract processing to accomplish.

So either that’s exactly why it’s a bad idea, or my understanding of how this works today has huge gaps. (Which wouldn’t surprise me a bit.) Can you clarify what’s in this for Visa?

hmm, I think the author missed that Waymo drove in snow 3 years ago [0], obviously outside of Pheonix. They also don't seem to understand it's CV + Lidar, not versus... I'd be surprised at a CV only system that can handle snow like seen in the Waymo example.

The rest of the article does not hold up once you realize the author is in an either-or mindset and thinks Waymo is not using CV, which they are, and has vertical vision stack, with arguably better experience at scaling ML

If you want to see actual FSD (without a human in the driver seat), this Waymo beta user has been video documenting on a regular basis: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-13jt3ZPb7X6qJTo_MEn...

Having seen the "self-driving" displays from both, Waymo's shows Waymo information, which gives me greater trust in the system. By contrast, there are Tesla videos with some scary moments.
