I've always wondered what would happen if you gave a popular product an impossible name.

Can you name a company with Unicode symbols?

My guess is that a popular made up name by the user base would emerge.

Which makes me guess that a bad name is worse than no name. Gnuplot misleads.
I don’t really get in a flow state any more unless I turn off all email and chat. In those cases it can last up to 4 hours.

That happens maybe 20% of all days though, and people don’t really enjoy it, so it’s mostly something I do for my own sanity.

The rest of my day is spent showing up in meetings and trying to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot, which involves a lot of back and forth.

When in the office, I think I regularly made 9 hour days, but at home they’re at most 7.5 hours, mostly due the constraints imposed by having to pick up my son from daycare.
Wow, idk if I should be honored or ashamed. Lots of great discussion/things for me to think about! Thank you for that . I made a HN account just for this, want to make a few things clear.

- I'm new to Clojure, but did a lot for my formative work in Scala, and employed a pretty functional model using JS.

- While I really enjoy Clojure, I'll admit that JS is still my muse; it's the language that I dream in. React is the mental model I use to think of UIs. A perhaps naive summary may be that I'd give is what partly motivated me to write this is that JS and React are star crossed lovers. JS is by no means perfect, and I'd love to see it grow.

- I've been following elm for a while. It was after I met Jesse Tomchak from https://player.fm/series/javascript-to-elm at a conference a few years back that I started reading about it. When I tried it, the tooling wasn't quite where I wanted it yet and I'm a guilty of being a tooling primadonna.

- When I say I used JS, I really mean I used TS too! Speaking of being a tooling primadonna, VSCode's TS interop was a thing of beauty. Yes, it's 100% easier up front to look at a TS type and see what's going on compared to spec. I miss types. I think Clojure needs more in spec and for a large part, it continues to be neglected by the Clojure team. Spec vs. Types could be a whole essay/talk on itself.

- This isn't a call to action to use ClojureScript or Clojure. It's my critique of what I was using for years (and still will continue to use). Use what tools you feel most confident in to solve the problem in front of you.

Having been a Navy officer myself, I cannot agree more about the role of experience and training in team formation. So many software companies just throw together a few people and expect them to be productive right off the bat but that is simply not how people work. Reorgs every six months actively destroy any sense of team formation too.

That said, the military enjoys a level of personnel lock in that few software orgs can dream of. I don't know many software engineer that would agree to a five-year contract with no option for early leaving.

Here we go again this nonsense often from anthropology that people use to justify our mistreatment of animals "Only humans treat the dead with the same respect, consideration and even tenderness they treat the living.

But the original SO question does not imply that they want to solve a more complex problem. The SO asker explicitly asked for opinions, so that’s what they got. However, I absolutely think it is the right choice to choose simpler tools to solve simpler problems, as long as you are aware of the implications.

This was interesting to me because ever since that fly.io post[0][1] about how they enable ssh I've wondered if some of the harebrained ways I'd also thought about doing it were possible. I was wrong about thinking they used Kubernetes (fly.io runs on nomad) but I took some time to shave this particular yak and found it wasn't too hard to do with Kubernetes.

I don't have any of the fun wireguard stuff in here but I didn't really think it was necessary -- this is definitely not a solution that should just be rolled out to production anywhere either so experiment with caution.

It's a bit hard to see the whole picture from just this blog post but what I essentially have is:

- Automated TLS (powered by LetsEncrypt, either DN01 or HTTP01) for the theoretical `ssh.<environment>.<project>.<org>.paas.tld` endpoint

- SSH access to a separate pod in the same container namespace as the original workload (which can be dynamically controlled, turned on/off, etc)

- The usual SSH security

- Traffic all over the HTTPS ports (443), so it opens something that I haven't seen yet -- completely-in-the-browser SSH (as in compile SSH with emscripten, pair that with a browser-side terminal emulator, and maybe speak SSH from the browser directly to the container someday +/- some websocket shenanigans).

Yes but again, the distinction is that, in democracies, such evil projects can only be conducted under military secret.

So, any project conducted for the sake of energy production, i.e. in the civilian realm, would have no chance to include these elements of aggression.

Heck, in democracies, even for military projects that are too evil, there are whistleblowers. Especially in high-tech projects, because among scientists there is quite a bit this kind of mindset.

>Apple did all the things you described in the first paragraph.

Wow, you are arguing here without even reading the article or understanding the reality!

Short resume for the lazy : Apple guys were working on creating the emails to inform the victims (stuff like send the emails in the correct language) but in the end they never sent the emails. So from your example, some guys knew they sold some food that had poison in it(somehow the bad guys were clever to sneak pass their guards and put poison in the cans), the guys were concerned and were ready to go and announce the victims that they might need to do some health checks. But then Timmy said "the poison is not that strong, let's wait and see , if nobody notices we do nothing , we don't want the people to know that our walls and guards are not as great as our PR and fanboys claim to be. That would mean that out best PR line `think about grandma` was a lye all along"
>The fact that foods such as sardines - which are rich in taurine, omega 3, calcium and vitamin D - have a clear protective effect against the onset of diabetes does not mean that taking these supplements in isolation will have the same effect.

The only way i can understand this statement it that Rizzolo doubts that anything in the sardines are actually affecting type 2 diabetes. So perhaps the oily taste is suppressing apatite for 'sweet' and decreasing the patients sugar intake (decreasing them cheating on their diet).

Anyway a 152 patients study is not very conclusive, in larger studies there may not be any effect there at all.
Yes that is a great of example of reading something on the internet and believing it completely?

You just linked me to a Stackoverflow post about a theory, which turns out to just be completely wrong, while managing to include a few valid facts.

It's fine not to like the game or some of the changes but I don't really get the resentment towards the devs that I read in some of these replies though.

If there's one thing where I believe that "if you don't like it, just fork it" is warranted it's this type of game. It's not like it's production-critical for anyone, so there's no deadline and you can take your time. It's a rather minimalist 2D game, no complex game engine knowledge is required. When I looked into the code a few years ago I found it very readable so it's a nice target for customization.

If you feel like modern DCSS doesn't go in the right direction just fork whatever version you preferred and go from there.
The Effect of War Commemorations on Support for Diplomacy: A Five-Nation Study
People can and do make computer simulations of particle interactions? It's just that 12 dimensional PDE's are not exactly fast, but we can e.g. use them to compute the dipole moment of fundamental particles like muons.

Think of it like knowing the rules, but the rules not being efficient to compute with.
Ok, I'll bite, here's a good example...

Working for a large institution that heavily employs the latest hardware we stumbled upon an issue with tsc calibration on skylake platforms with overclocked BCLK. The issue stemmed from the fact that cpuid for our particular SKU returned nominal instead of actual tsc frequency. We submitted a simple patch that just introduced a kcmdline parameter to disable cpuid based calibration and fall back to msr-based method that works fine. The maintainer shot it down only because _in theory_ the cpuid method should work even for over clocked cases. In practice an Intel person admitted that the firmware for our particular SKU should be updated to fix this. Over two years later Intel still didn't release fw update and our simple patch hasn't been accepted because the maintainer sees the world as a perfect place.
You know who helped us? RedHat. They saw the value of adding this workaround to allow their users use Linux even if it was the cpu vendor that messed up.

Now tell me, how is this welcoming attitude on Linux kernel part? How can you blame me for my opinion when a partial fix to a real problem gets rejected for completely academic reasons?

> If it’s too easy to memorize, choose a bigger section.

This doesn't work with fast passages where the pianist must feel how to use the momentum to their advantage. Better path-- choose a small enough section that may be played immediately at the preferred tempo.

> Practice the section slowly enough, at first, to avoid making mistakes.

By playing a bite-sized segment of music at the preferred performance tempo from the outset, the pianist can greatly simplify the entire section in the author's step 2 here.

Example of the problem:

1. Pianist breaks up a difficult passage in the development section of the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata and applies a comfortable, sensible fingering.

2. Pianist ramps up the tempo.

3. Eventually, pianist hits a critical tempo where the fingering turns out to work against the momentum of their hand.

4. Pianist realizes that the new momentum of the faster tempo opens up a new possibility for a fingering-- e.g., just throw the thumb at a new position and let the torque from the forearm land it correctly. If the rest of the arm/shoulder stays loose that torque is a strong and reliable way to reposition the hand.

5. Pianist now has learned two fingerings that compete in their muscle memory-- one for the wrong tempo, which they learned first and methodically ratcheted up, and one for the right tempo which is newer and must be drilled more than the old fingering.

6. Pianist drills away at new fingering alone in a practice room.

7. New fingering becomes comfortable and seemingly secure.

8. Pianist goes plays at a different location, in front of other people, and that wrong fingering stabs at their brain like a black magic spell.

This is all avoided by a) practicing small segments of music at the preferred tempo b) joining them together to divide and conquer the piece.

Anyway, this is a common problem for a few reasons:

1. Pianists have a general reluctance to choose very small segments of music to practice.

2. Pianists have a propensity to choose pieces that are too difficult for their current skill level. This means they won't come armed with general-purpose fingerings for virtuosic passages, making them likely to choose wrong fingerings when starting to learn virtuosic passages at slow tempos.

3. Music cognition is an early science. Most amateur pianists know the feeling of playing something wrong even once and then feeling how their body somehow memorizes that mistake and haunts their entire practice. But even professional pianists don't have a shortcut for turning that experience on its head-- i.e., there's no way to play a thing correctly once and have one's body memorize that feeling as solidly as it memorizes a single mistake!

The regex is surely faster for the specific case. I can't say I've seen an XHTML parser off hand that allows me to stop parsing after just the start tag. Perhaps a lazy parser could start to compete, but I'm just guessing.

It's no longer true that the kernel doesn't have unit/regression tests. The kernel ships with a thousand or so selftests nowadays, Linus actually requires selftests for some patches, and there's also a unit testing framework (kunit).

Regardless, from the commit message:

the problem can't be reproduced after rebooting.
Also the worst named package manager ever. I wanted to play with an RTOS for an embedded system a few weeks ago an the first step was "install chocolatey".

Not knowing what it was, I had to spend some time reading about chocolatey.

Sorry, but no.

The original question only mentions the author wants to ignore XHTML-style self-closing tags which is in no way implying the input to be well-formed XHTML.
Exactly my thought while reading the prose. A picture is worth a thousand words, a formula a thousand pictures. Yet having a bit of the three kinds is often needed to easily comprehend the concept for those who are neither particularly visual, logical, or patient.

Exactly. And in case of SQL, it's worse because some rows may have been deleted so you can't even count of id (or rowid) to be contiguous.
On a related note, lookaheads (and behinds) do somewhat change the fundamental expressive power I believe.
I used to have the same opinion, but I think for Linux it actually makes sense.

A large, automated test suite places a lot of extra burden on contributors and maintainers.

You will be expected to run tests, fix old tests, investigate flaky tests, and write new ones that cover your bug fix or new feature.

The kernel instead pushes the responsibility for writing test suites and validating new releases onto first Line consumers like Red Hat, IBM, Google etc all.

This is probably the only viable way to make it work. Maintainer resources are stretched thin as it is.

> Most theorists assume that gravity actually pushes us around through particles

Is this true, and if so, why? The interpretation of gravity as something that warps spacetime very elegantly yields its “gravitational force” via its effect on the action integral, and is easily understood using a path integral style framework. It seems like a particle-based framework would necessarily be a lot more complicated, although maybe it’s necessary for some reason I don’t know.
I'm fine with that premise: it's strange.

But if you think about the implications of this strangeness, it can be equally interpreted as "Linus is playing a dangerous game" or "maybe we've kind of exaggerated the importance of unit tests, seeing Linux is doing fine".

Linux doesn't seem to stand out as exceptionally buggy. It has bugs, but then so does every project that's unit tested.

He’s referring to the fact that if you sweep a laser pointer across the moon, the dot can easily move faster than light.

IIRC the SF novel 'The Legacy of Heorot' had an alien life cycle/population dynamic based on this idea of using cannibalism coupled with a staged life-cycle to allow the creature to exploit a wider ecological niche. The juveniles were herbivores and the adult forms then ate the juveniles, forming a joined niche.
