No idea since homicide by drowning is notoriously hard to prove[0], but the median pool is more likely to drown someone than the median "assault weapon" is to kill someone.

~10 million swimming pools in the US vs. ~20 million "assault weapons," and there are fewer murders annually with long guns of all types (of which "assault weapons" are a small subset) than there are pool drownings. Also pools disproportionately kill kids, while most victims of gun violence ate adults.

My dream is:

* Every user in the web interface gets a sql database user.

* A change in the database schema should reflect an instant change in the AP GUI.

A dream that I have worked towards step by step in a few different projects. I am not sure about how it scales to millions of users. But if you have a a few 100 to a thousand users. It should be fine. Main problem i have found is row level security.
The app should basically just be a graphical interface that can be configured. Through a config file.
There's no way this is what this is about, no? This seems totally fine, whereas the article makes it seem like they were actively tracking your location while telling you they weren't.

If this is it then I disagree completely with the ruling.
If I understood it correctly I took it to mean that the organizers of the study would have preferred to lean primarily on what government health agencies see as secondary or invalid measures of well-being.

Java has such a system but people write long class names anyway, because people don't like to have too many types with identical names distinguished only by namespace. You can do it but it's a bit questionable to what extent you should.

Depends on how much of a replacement one is expecting (I guess it's like all commercial versus Open Source software in that way), but docker machine and VirtualBox are a low drama version. There used to be a working setup that used xhyve (on top of Hypervisor.framework) but I had woes that I don't recall the details about right now and even when it did work the networking was much harder to reason about than with VirtualBox

The other advantage of docker machine is that you can also ask for a cloud instance to run dockerd, and that's actually how gitlab-runner does it

Replacing Docker for Mac's kubernetes support is done with either kind or minikube depending on ones desire to have on a modern version versus "yeah, yeah, just run the VM and make kubectl work"

None of those setups have any provided gui/menubar widget support, or similar hand holding, which is why I started this the way I did
Having got back into Java a bit recently I was surprised how fast it was (coming from python/Perl and php).

Speed doesn’t matter always, but when it does it Java feels snappy. Our programs our command line based so our framework use is limited. Also the built in data structures are nice. I still find getting Java’s set up painful, which is a huge impediment for us using it more.
The Luca app really is a complete train wreck. And what's worse is that the federal governments don't even have any direct control over the app itself, they just bought access to the contact tracing data for 12 months from the company operating the app. Meanwhile the company controls the app and all connected user accounts and can repurpose it in whichever way they see fit (and they already announced they have plans for the app beyond the pandemic).

It's absolutely mind-boggling to me how our government(s) can get the idea to "rent" contact tracing data from a private company like this, it just reeks of corruption. I wasn't a big fan of the Covid tracing app in the beginning, but in retrospect the concept of that app seems miles ahead of the current situation with the Luca app.
Years ago when I moved for my first job out of school I decided to set my clock radio to the local NPR station (KERA Dallas) to wake up to the news. I had to switch to a hard rock station because I'd fall back asleep to their soft voices.

One of the issues with crypto currency is that we're replacing one elite with another.

As John Oliver says Cryptocurrency is everything you don't understand about finance combined with everything you don't understand about computers. That new, even eliter, elite is probably no more moral or ethical than the old.

It's not like cryptocurrency is more accessible. Maybe it will become so but I still have to fork out a lot of money to buy Bitcoin. It's just the fees get paid to different people.

Not entirely sure how it's better. It is different though, I'll give you that.
Windows is still shipping without CLI tools and Linux distros also mostly don't ship with build-essential or headers, -dev packages or every language toolchain. Every system requires setup and MacOS shipping with older GPL2 packages puts it squarely between the two alternatives in terms of setup and configuration cost.

As for the WM differences, its just a different way of thinking about it, or a preference. None of them really bother me, personally.

I agree that this is a bad flaw but the reasoning about the “nocebo” effect does make sense: administering a placebo actually confounds the results if the participants know it’s a placebo, and it will be pretty obvious it the pill you took doesn’t have any psychedelics.

Studies like these are inherently difficult, this isn’t an issue of poor design.
There's actually a lint specifically intended for that already. `float_arithmetic`:

For some embedded systems or kernel development, it can be useful to rule out floating-point numbers.

Exactly, and PHP brings this simple intuitive behavior to the web. You just point your browser at a .php file, and the server runs the file for you.
Good. Hopefully fiat conversions are banned everywhere. You have your pure Bitcoin economy now.
Would you be able to expand on this? I’m very basic when it comes to debugging in Lisp :)

So you are running a second server to test issues away from production? I thought this is possible in other languages / frameworks, so I must be missing something

I read the cook book but still didn’t get the main benefits of it. However the quote was very cool:

That’s how Ron Garret debugged the Deep Space 1 spacecraft from the earth in 1999:

We were able to debug and fix a race condition that had not shown up during ground testing. (Debugging a program running on a $100M piece of hardware that is 100 million miles away is an interesting experience. Having a read-eval-print loop running on the spacecraft proved invaluable in finding and fixing the problem.
I use minikube for local k8s dev but you could also use it as basically a local Linux VM for running docker. It is (slightly) less ergonomic than Docker for Mac but not my much. For the most part I use the qinikube VM for everything docker related since it's annoying to run both a VM for Docker Desktop and for qinikube.

You criticize the study but don't provide any arguments against the methodology. Tell us what you know about WHY they give people low doses in the control group, then explain why you think a different method would be better. These aren't idiots designing studies.
You want a microkernel.
I don't get your argument.

Bitcoin is very very volatile and just because it went up the last x years, doesn't make it stable or trustworthy.

My money in my bank is very safe and it doesn't cost me anything.

The inflation itself is a systematic thing and should affect bitcoin equaly.

When corona came, i was looking at the stock market and was surprised how many people left it. It doesn't make much sense to distrist the stock market that much. After all alot of pension funds are existing, lots of companies or people who are self employed also have to keep their money safe. There is a lot of dependency on the share market and we are all bound to a certain degree of not being able to move it out asap.
Yes. This is what you get when incompetent officials jump on any offered solution that promises to make their awful track record of "digitalization" projects look better. Of course without listening to actual experts and instead looking for buzzwords.
From one of those posts:

> I don't see how the two languages might coexist peacefully without rust toolchain being necessary for building any kernel useful in practice and anyone seriously involved in kernel development having to be proficient in both languages.

I can empathise with that. Just last week I butted head with an issue in a python package that requires Rust internally. The lib compiles fine on its own, but something gets screwed when running in a virtualenv. Opened a bug in github, and nobody has any idea about how to get even a detailed log out of the rust toolchain.

I'm sympathetic about Rust, I really am. But sprinkling it mindlessly everywhere is a big risk.

TFA features a very reasonable explanation in the next few sentences. If participants are going to a session where they'll be essentially locked in with a psychiatrist for a few hours and take only a placebo, they'll know it, and they'll get more depressed from knowing that they're in the placebo arm. So instead a small dose is provided which has some lesser effects, avoiding to break the participants' "blindness" to the protocol.
This is an amazing resource for anyone wanting to appreciate Wagner. When I was in college, I had to learn many of these leitmotifs by going to our library's listening room and following my professor's notes while playing compact disc recordings of performances he prescribed.

That’s a category error. The blockchain is a document. The banking system is people.

I'm in the semiconductor company.

I don't really understand your question.

Anyone can start a company and tape out a chip even in 5nm. My previous startup did something similar. We used an intermediate company between us and TSMC that specifically works with smaller companies. They (or TSMC) will bundle together 4 to 20 chips into a common mask as a "shuttle" run. Shuttle runs are really only used to get samples for the first version of your chip. You can't really go to production with them because the mask has chips from multiple different companies but this allows all of the companies to share the mask costs (I've heard up to $30 million for 5nm)

What is ST Micro talking about? I assume they can produce chips but can't get the volume that they want. SiFive are probably producing about 2,000 of these chips for development and test boards. ST Micro would be buying in the hundreds of millions or tens of billions range.

Hey all!

Wrote a simple CLI tool that converts dbt models into looker view files. Once you've built your dbt project, run dbt2looker and copy the files over to looker.

Features:

- Auto-generates a Looker view per dbt model

- Supports dbt model and column-level descriptions

- Automatically maps raw column types to looker types

- Creates dimension groups for datetime/timestamp/date types

- Currently supports: BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift (postgres to come)
Hi Snakedoctor. I've been quite fascinated by this thread. I have a small piece of feedback for you, as someone who's interviewed about 200-300 engineers over my career I've talked to a lot of people and feel like I have at least something of value to add.

I hope you're not offering these sorts of hyperbolic "proofs" of your competency to your interviewers, like you've done here. I've seen a few comments from you like this. Anyone who feels the need to go that far out of their way to prove how smart they are... probably aren't as smart as they think they are. It also does come off as narcissistic.

I get that you have accomplished some cool things in your career so far, but you have to let people evaluate those accomplishments for themselves. They may be very impressive to you, but might not make the slightest difference in the context of the role you're applying for. If people ask about them, be ready to tell. If they don't ask, don't go out of your way to point them out, they're not pertinent to the role. They're on your CV, that's enough.

You do a lot of pointing these accomplishments out (I worked for IBM / I contribute to GNU / I went to college / I got this and that job), but... here you are. Unemployed. Which only leaves two possible explanations; You're either not being forthcoming about your accomplishments (exaggerating them or simply lying), or there's something else, something very negative that means that despite your achievements, you still can't hold a job.

So, you have to be brutally honest with yourself and ask yourself; What is that thing? Only you can answer that question.

Finally, I want to give you a reality check on those accomplishments. They might not be as large as you think. Big, noteworthy accomplishments take years to complete. Completing a masters degree, getting a PhD, working up to a senior position in a company, learning a language, raising a child, building a house. It sounds like most of your achievements did not require the investment of time, but rather are trophies to commemorate your greatness. Companies want people who persevere, and get stuff done, and stick with it. The type of accomplishments you've mentioned show none of that, and your career progression shows the complete opposite.

I hope you make something constructive out of my comments, and use them to improve your approach to interview. In short, I'd recommend a more humble approach, apply for a role suitable to your level, don't try to outsmart the interviewer, or your co-workers when you get hired, and fulfill the job you've been assigned, not the one you wish you had. So no level-jumping over your bosses to make smart comments; that won't help you... I speak from experience, and it took me a long time to understand that a good employee is just someone who makes their managers life easier, by completing their tasks and making sure stuff gets done.
That was great!

I'd say the $250 mic was the best value, but that German mic was niiiice. If you can afford it, then it's probably the one you want.

There are a few assumptions that are false. For one, I am not a doctor, and this is not a diagnoses. It is explicitly an opinion based on (very) thin evidence. I agree they should see a therapist, if possible. I would not normally be so blunt, but the OP asked.

But the primary false thing I want to address is the tacit assertion that "Telling someone they have NPD traits is a personal attack." I understand that assumption because, sadly, accusation of personality disorder has become a common style of personal attack. It's very similar, actually, to the classic status of "homosexuality" - once a pejoritive, now mostly just a fact. And I'm not sure if you noticed, but HN has a LOT of psychology-related content. As a group people here seem to show a lot of admirable compassion and empathy for each other's vulnerabilities. I think it's a remarkable feature of the place, and I hope you can take my words in that context. NPD is quite common in the world, in our field, and its entirely posssible to be a good person who struggles with NPD.

Your protective instinct speaks well of you! But you may need to reassess whether or not I actually attacked the OP, given his request and the context of my response.

Wow - that’s awesome! We would all be really grateful for a blog of your experiences, if you have time one day. Which field do you use it in? I have a stereotype that it’s mostly used in scientific / quantitative fields
I agree, Python is horrible. And I don't even like the language itself much. I like Julia, for example - although packaging there isn't great either.

My problem is that Java is one of the (probably) 3 biggest languages in use, both investment and dev time wise, and it's overall just not that great.
Thank you.

At the risk of getting involved in the discussion in the way I said above I did not want to, I feel I have to point out that "Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel" is usually explicitly defined as anti-Semitic[1]. You do now rather seem to be missing an opportunity to clarify your views on the topic.

Chip manufacturing has many steps. For a new leading edge process it may take 3-6 months to get silicon back after submitting the design to a silicon foundry for manufacturing.

For a small volume ‘shuttle’ run hopefully there won’t be delays, but this is not the same as having working chips!

The foundry will do initial checks it is manufacturable at ‘tapeout’ when you submit your design, but you don’t know for sure if your chip works with intended functionality until you get it back! You are relying on lots and lots of simulations up front before your ‘tape-out’.

Sometimes issues are found and a chip requires a re-spin - basically another go with the bugs fixed. You want to do this as few times as possible (ideally right first time) due to cost and time of these iterations.

They pay money just like any other customer of TSMC. SiFive has a lot of buzz in the industry. I wouldn't be surprised that TSMC wanted to work with them.

But there are other intermediary companies that help startups group multiple chips from multiple companies together into a single mask. This is called a "shuttle" and allows the companies to split the costs of the masks (I've heard up to $30 million for 5nm)

SiFive is probably building about 2,000 of these chips for development boards. They aren't trying to order a hundred million like Nvidia.
I think there's already a clue about this: Hardware engineers and scientists get paid less than programmers, meaning that we are of lower value.

Amusingly, when the lockdown began, I was fortunate to have space in my house to move my entire lab home. My colleagues and I have been making good use of rapid prototyping services and the FedEx truck to move stuff around. Hardware keeps getting "softer," and truth be told, 90% of what I do is coding anyway, because hardware runs on code. We are also learning to manage hardware remotely, so we don't always have to be co-located with it. We also use software contractors, though it's been a huge learning curve for us.

A side benefit is that, being un-located, there's no reason for me to be tied to a particular work site within a global business, or to be dependent on only the skill sets available at that site.
If you make getting into politic an even less certain career, you’re going to limit it more and more to the independently wealthy.

25 is a pretty fat dose. Seems excessive for a scientific study...

I always wonder how these people running the studies choose their doses. Do we want the participants to have a smooth/pleasant trip? Or have an white knuckle, ego-obliterating flight through space?

This reminds me of another study I read where participants were given 100+mg doses of liquid ketamine straight to the dome. The participants frequently k-holed.

Maybe the science says otherwise, but personal experience tells me you don't need to melt your fucking face to experience the anti-depressant effects of psychedelics. It can be destabilizing to some.
