I'm not in the pro-shlib camp (it's what brought us the whole Docker->k8s fiasco in the first place), but it might be worth noting that the LGPL requires shared libs ie requires you as an end user be able to swap LGPL libs by newer versions, alternate implementations, or your own.

Also, there are legitimate use cases for shlibs-as-plugins, such as ODBC.

Tilt: Productivity for teams building Kubernetes apps
As I know it, there are tests with babies, where they react to primate individuals, they have seen before, just like to humans they have already seen, and are able to identify strangers. However, this ability is soon lost and the "in-group" focuses to humans only. I haven't a source link on this, but there should be some documentaries on early development on YT (or similar platforms) covering this.
A shabbos goy is permitted because God did not command non Jews to rest on shabbos, only Jews. (Jews believe that God is God of all, and all will go to heaven if righteous, but the special laws described in the Bible apply only to Jews). There is a rabbinical prohibition against directly asking a non jew to do something for you on shabbos except in case of great need or when you can arrange that the non jew will benefit from the action too.
> the legacy auto companies don't have OTA updates

That's a huge feature.

OTA updates means:

1. An attack vector that will (when, not if) be exploited by bad guys.

2. An attack vector that will (when, not if) be exploited by the manufacturer itself to make your car worse (Tesla already doing this sometimes).

A secure and reliable car must not be modifiable remotely.
could anyone explain if this is different from what apple is already doing on the app store ?
Oh man that brings memories. It's so sad that things like datatypes or xpk didn't made it to modern OSes (well, there's just fraction of it, I guess video codecs are closest thing to it, but that just targets one area).

I also wanted to point out that this standardization made it possible to "pimp" your AmigaOS to make individual desktops somewhat unique. There were basically libraries that substituted system libraries and changed how the UI looked or even how it worked. I kind of miss that. Now the only personalization I see is how the terminal prompt looks like :)
Or (in more pragmatic and plainer terms) it's a way of seeing that there isn't a huge gap or disjunction in the data due to some IT related event such as a data migration, someone introducing a bug into the feed that's been unnoticed or a deeper failure in the sensors that are providing the data.
A (partial) list of vanity identifiers (2020)
In my city I have lived through multiple waves of this model.

The main drawback is that it requires a bit of planning: on the weekends, everybody wants a car.

I can count with one finger the companies that have survived multiple waves of this model over the last 15 years. They have "poor" cars, but enough of them, parked in "centralized" locations to ease maintainance, but enough of these locations spread out, great prices for a day, a weekend, etc.

Most other companies that tried this have ended up defaulting the moment they had to repair their first wave of cars.

The ones that still "survive" have gone through defaults, mergers, and have "infinite" amounts of money (e.g. owned by car manufacturers that use them as a way to get people "try" their cars as opposed to a "profitable" business). These are kind of "gimmicks" that you use when you pick somebody from the airport to show them around in a nice car. For everyday stuff, these are expensive enough for competing with Uber, and at that point, I just take a Uber. For one day trips they are also expensive enough that, if you take 3 days per month, owning a cheap car is actually cheaper and more practical than using these....
Yes you are right :)
You need private offices or the feedback gets really bad really quick.
It's not that they "made" their language have no side-effects, it's more that they made a choice to use a lisp/functional design for the language which gives the advantages of that family of languages languages... advantages like limited side-effects and formal approaches for proving "correctness" of programs. It's a really clever design choice IMO for a smart-contracts language.
That is honestly probably the single dumbest things I've ever seen written on hacker news. Congrats.

Did you even read the thread? The concern is not that someone's political or apolitical stance should lead to fewer contributors, but that rails as it stands is inextricably entwined with Basecamp and DHH, and that is untenable for the frameworks health for the long-term, not the short term. it's a call for community governance and guidance.

If anything it praises basecamp and DHH for the wonderful work they've done in service of rails, while also acknowledging that rails as a framework could suffer bad PR if it positions itself as inextricable from its most prominent users who will (as is the way of the world) inevitably suffer some form of negative PR.

It's a call for independence and self reliance as a community, people's political positions be damned.
I thought the whole evolutionary advantage was that animals spread the seeds around after eating the fruit, making survival much more likely. So not 'meant to be eaten' as in intentional choices, but meant to be eaten as in - this is why its an evolutionary advantage.
I think that this is something to do when you have a "good" data set in hand - when you've filtered and checked and wrangled the data into something approximating a training table. Or if the data is set to you after that process or the collection process has produced good clean data (for example survey results).

Until then I don't think that PCA really tells you what you need to know - which is "is this data set what I think it is " and "is the information that I need to extract actually in here"?
I have on idea how this story relates to the patents directly or indirectly, but educated ppl in the medical world are not so fond of Gates.

My understanding, on a high level is that the "vaccine derived polio[1][2]" was created by Bill & Melinda Gates institute[3]. The high level narrative is that some inhabitants did not want to be vaccinated, so the team of scientist and Gates thought along the linens "what do these stupid Africans known about anything?" and created a vaccine that spreads unbeknownst to the subject. So effectively their made the choice for the Africans in Chad (now spreads in Cameron). The result was the opposite: instead of vaccinate everyone by "spreading the vaccine" the created a different strain of polio.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I guess. The dangerous part IMO is when ppl think they're so "smart" they "know better".

This reminds me of a similar story (and I'm having trouble finding a source now, perhaps it was the Lotus 78?), where the team bragged to the press about a new technology they had developed which reduced the losses in their differential, which explained their recent competitive advantage. On race day the pit crew even covered the part in rags as they ran to the back of the car to swap out the differential mid-race, lest their competitors catch a glimpse of this new technology.

Only there was no fancy differential technology. That was all a ruse to distract from the aerodynamic skirt they were using which literally sucked the car onto the track :)

Yeah, I'd probably prefer hard-wired updates, rather than OTA. That way you know precisely when you're getting it, and it's harder (though still not impossible) for a bad actor to cause harm.

Supposedly Filecoin is storing 'real' data, so it's not using any more storage than AWS or any cloud provider would. Is that not the case? At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the the number of 'real' data stored was only a fraction of the total network size. Chia is just storing 100% useless data outside of its use by Chia itself.

i.e Filecoin's and similar coins should have value directly tied to their use to store data while Chia is just another crypto that has no 'intrinsic' value outside its use as a currency and computation platform.

There is a split in the comments below as I write this.

Some people are coming from the Kaggle / Text book/ Statistics perspective - the data set is ready for analysis so I think we should use analytical tool x or y to give us some information about the conclusions that we are likely to be trying to demonstrate from it - or the models that we will build.

Other people are looking from a Data Science pov. The data is made of bits and is likely to have pathological features due to it's history and the biases of the different collection and assembly methods. The task is to find these and mitigate them - at that point we have a decent data set and can move to analysis and modelling.

A lot of studies like this are done very poorly and should always be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism. One immediate issue that comes up is infants can barely see at all, born with incompletely developed brains, the neural machinery that translates sensory input to perception develops with the help of the actual sensory input... it could very well be that babies stop reacting to other primates in the same way when they can see well enough to tell the difference. (just one guess of many potential issues with topics like this)

Wind energy could generate 3.3M jobs within five years, industry body claims
There are also light switch hacks that allow to turn on/off the light without actually interrupting or creating an electrical circuit (e.g. there's a photo-sensitive relay which checks at random intervals if the path of light is blocked, and then switches the circuit, but since blocking the path of the future light does not do anything right now, it may not be a violation). While the religious permissibility of those are still questionable, one has to admire the ingenuity. Not sure about Alexa things, would be interesting to check what rabbis think about the always-on devices on Shabbat...

The simplest hack I've seen was pre-torn toilet paper - while tearing stuff is not permitted on Shabbat, the needs of your body do not cease, so one has to prepare :)

Interesting situation here. Whats the name for oposite chicken-egg problem. You mention that linux phones do not support banking apps and google even being antonym for privacy, has still increasing user base. But we are in situation where you must use google to be able to use banking apps. Vicious cycle?

For banking aps to work you must install them from play store. To be able to use play store you must agree with google TOS. If google dicides your evil, you will not be able to use banking app anymore :(
It's not a gimmick. It's something supported by the leading terminal emulators on pretty much every other desktop environment for the last 10 years and it's a massive productivity boost for people working on single screens (like a laptop).

I haven't used it, but I don't believe that's the case. I think what you're describing is `#[crate_type = "cdylib"]` ("used when compiling a dynamic library to be loaded from another language"), whereas `#[crate_type = "dylib"]`
produces a "dynamic Rust library".

It's not about consumption of energy. Shabbat in Judaism is not an energy saving measure, it's a religious ceremony. Judaism is big on doing things differently for a reason (one could probably write a PhD thesis on it) and Shabbat is one of those where the different thing is avoiding making changes in the world. Of course, as with many major religions, everybody finds their own meanings within the framework.

The number of people who consider the system/distribution the atomic unit rather than the application, is probably about equal to the number of people who "edit dependencies and put their system back together" -- they are in total statistically zero.

There is a non-Jewish use for this. I remember developing code for a simulated elevator system, and Sabbath mode is an excellent backup mode if you detect that the elevator floor buttons are not working. While it's nowhere near as efficient as properly working mechanisms, it provides reduced functionality instead of being useless.

I think many systems should be designed with reduced functionality modes, and have them automatically enabled when practical. It's often better to have a partially working system than a total failure.

I shared this because although Philip's opinions don't fit the standard HN/liberal ethos (or, for that matter, the standard Republican/antivax/"muh freedom" ethos either) he makes some interesting points and buttresses them with evidence.

One thing I find particularly worrisome is that our current strategy of "lockdown and vaccinate until COVID disappears" is predicated on COVID disappearing. What if it doesn't, and the virus continues to win the arms race, as it's clearly doing in India right now? We need to have a rational, science-based discussion on what level of disruption (from lockdowns, travel bans etc) and deaths (from COVID) we as society can live with, but I'm not really seeing that happening.

::sigh::

The alternative is that the product is completely unavailable. This is currently the situation across a broad swath of GPUs. Every unit that becomes available is instantly snatched up, in some cases by people who've bribed the people doing stocking at the distributors.

That is asinine. Yes, auctioning the limited supply off is also obnoxious but it is a strictly no worse than being entirely unavailable. Auctioning it of also has the benefit of depleting the uncontrolled demand faster (which is often taking the form of 'buy $x million in parts, however much we can get'). It potentially helps expand the supply (though unfortunately lead times and tooling make it hard to expand supply for surge loads), and for some cases where paying an astronomical price would be justified it would preserve some access to the product.

But the main motivation for my suggestion is to deplete the resource of the parties buying 100% of the stock as quickly as possibly so that the market can get back to normal. If that doesn't work it's because the money fountain is simply too large, and at some point the increased revenue will justify increasing the supply (even though doing so is risky).

> Business models evolve toward efficiency, and there is a good reason no one is doing this.

Sorry, but that isn't how 'evolve towards' works. Sure, eventually. But this kind of demand is unusual and surprising, it presents new challenges. There may be good reasons why what I suggest wouldn't be a good idea but those reasons are not "if this were a good idea they'd already be doing it".
