The intent is very important though. Your family beats you (hopefully, metaphorically) for poor metric performance because those are metrics of what they perceive as your future wellbeing. It's viewed as a proxy measure to your future happiness and personal success by many. They want to see success in your education so you'll be able to provide for yourself and find happiness (again, hopefully).

A business simply fires you for poor metrics with little notice because they care nothing about your past, current, or future well-being, they care about the metric itself that presumably measures how you help them.

If there was an overall well being performance review or report card, your employer wouldn't really care unless you were neigh irreplaceable. Your family on the other hand would care deeply (again, hopefully).

I guess everybody knows this, but 112 is the emergency telephone number in a lot more countries than "just" Denmark [1].

According to Wikipedia, it even works in the US if dialed from a cell phone, by being forwarded to 911 by the network. That I didn't know, since the "cultural presence" of 911 is pretty big even over here in Sweden.

I’m guessing no because you have to travel pretty fast for an air wing to have an effect (~50-200mph), but you travel relatively slower for the hydrofoil to perform well (10-30mph). (These are very approximate numbers I made up from experience riding on different types of boats. They are not physical limits or anything like that!)

OK but these are two separate question.

Of course you should use an existing library if it solves the exact problem you have. Don't waste time re-implementing the wheel unless you are doing if for educational purposes. Whether such a library used regexes or not under the hood would be irrelevant as long as it works and it well tested.

But I would certainly like to hear an argument why you think a regex is less robust that a similar manual character-by-character matcher.

Well, if we’re just talking about unwanted opinions, then a sighted person tone policing a visually impaired user rubs me the wrong way. What if they use discord to keep in touch with their family and the product is unusable to them now? Why do you care how emphatically someone expresses how they cannot even properly see the product in question anymore? Imagine stepping into a car and the windshield is completely painted over. You need it to go somewhere. You would be irate! Do you need someone else telling you “you aren’t saying how, specifically, it affects you?” or “why don’t you ask nicely?” Have a little sympathy and the problem is clear. Discord doesn’t need your sympathy. They have an obligation - possibly even a legal obligation - to keep their products accessible to their end users.

I remember seeing foils in the late 90s and early 2000s but they weren't available to purchase. I wonder why. Maybe it's because the construction process hadn't been commercialized yet.
> Everyone knows that only newbies do coding errors in C, so why spend the extra money? /s

The Ariane 5 maiden flight disaster illustrated quite clearly that the choice of language has little influence on the actual correctness of a program.

Ada on its own is no better than Pascal in that regard. A formally verified and thoroughly tested MISRA C program can be safer and more correct than a sloppily written Ada program.

So the question is indeed not as rhetorical as one might think - why spend the extra money indeed? Isn't it better spent on verification, testing, tooling and culture, which benefits the development regardless of programming language?
Why do YOU need to decide who to hire for the team? Let the team tell you what they are deficient in and then hire that.
Do you mean an alternate place to put your blogs/stories? There are plenty. There is Github and Gitlab or if you want something not owned by Microsoft or Gitlab, an alternate could be NeoCities [1]. Neocities is open source so you can even run it yourself if you don't want to use their domains. Venturing into the more manual setup are cheap VPS providers and frameworks for managing blogs. If you are specifically looking for a community, consider setting up a Discord server based on your topics of interest and invite people to it from your blog.

This is not passive advice whatsoever. It all requires regular "maintenance".
I personally did work on modeling injury risk for an NBA team, which at the time was something they hadn't done much with and found very useful. Unfortunately it might be hard to apply that to LoL.

> Obviously the games are different, but perhaps there are some common themes or generalized structures that can help frame what questions to ask?

One of the most important things to understand is what the front office, coaches, and players want to know. Like I said, much of analytics these days (and not just in sports) is a solution searching for a problem. We build models based on what we can with the data, but the output of the models isn't actionable or something anyone is asking for. A better approach is to start from the questions that loom big in the eyes of those you are doing the analytics for. That sounds simple, but often doesn't happen, either because communication is poor, or neither party really understands what the other is trying to do. Also, often times a team doesn't even really know what questions they'd like answered, or at least not enough to verbalize it well.

One thing I've found consistently useful is focusing on measuring uncertainty. These days people are extremely excited about machine learning and "AI", and I work extensively with deep learning in my current position. But most times in analytics, especially sports analytics, simply getting the best prediction possible isn't actually useful. What is far more useful is measures of uncertainty through more traditional statistical methods, especially Bayesian statistics and Monte Carlo simulation. It's one thing to predict a player in the draft will be better than another. But a team usually knows the answer to that already anyways. Its far more useful to quantify the range of possible outcomes for a player. Is it practically a sure thing? Is it not a sure thing but a reasonable bet? Or is it really a toss-up? These are insights that teams often don't have but can find much more useful in their decision-making.

I generally don't focus on in-game strategy, since it is harder to give the team something they don't already know that they can reasonably act on. But meta-game insights could have a lot of potential. For traditional sports, this can be things like assessing player value, injury risk, draft capital, and contract valuation. Some of these may not translate well to LoL. I haven't played the game, but I've watched it a few times, and perhaps something could be done looking for insights regarding the hero pool. There are so many different heroes in the game that can act/oppose each other that quantifying those relationships somehow could be interesting.
I have an OLED TV and after thousands of hours of use, sometimes hundreds on a single game, there is no burn-in. However, I do not set the TV to full brightness.

Edit: I suspect an OLED digital sign WOULD burn in though as I imagine that content is much more static and displayed many more hours per day. I just wanted to make the point that I do not fear OLED for common consumer use cases.
Yeah, this is how Apple treats their allies. Jut another confirmation that my decision to leave the ecosystem was correct.

What’s less clear to me is whether or not the tech industry is like the car. Will the rate of innovation drop as we slowly approach an asymptotically perfect product, or will it accelerate as access to concentrated labor and knowledge drives up the rate of change?
Did you use -D / --directory option to journalctl? It switches the tool from "do the common thing and inspect live system" mode to "do exactly what I want and just convert files in that directory to text". There is also "--file" option for one-file-at a time access, but it is harder to use.

In particular, I have just verified with "strace" that running journalctl with either "-D /var/log/journal" or "--file" option does not even open machine-id file nor a d-bus socket -- so whatever problems you had with machine-id would be gone with.

Also, when you said, that you "cp'ed the files off it", did you mean you copied off the contents of /var/log/journal? Were you able to open the files on the other machine?

I've been an Amazon customer since at least 1999. I've been shipped many counterfeit/knock-off products that were sold as the real thing. I lost my honeymoon pictures on a fake SD card, that was over 10 years ago. The problems of fake products have only gotten worse.

Its now rare that I buy anything on Amazon that costs over $100 and I always cross shop for those things. Amazon is good at commodity items but not much else. If I'm buying a name brand product over $100 I won't buy it on Amazon because its most likely fake or has no warranty.

I really do not appreciate that Amazon has become Aliexpress in the last few years.

Hm that's a good point. Some access to the theming would be nice though.

Old themes were heavily based on tailored graphics that can really not be adapted easily. But the problem at hand (UI that's hard to read for the visually impaired) could be addressed with at least some access to the theming.

That's something many programs still offer though.
"and it would be a worse experience because the extra details reveal the low quality tricks you can get away with on lower reproduction quality"

I'd especially emphasize the 'tricks you can get away with' in low resolution television. A few months ago I was watching a rerun of an early 1960s B&W sitcom on a TV sub-channel running at normal 1080 HD resolution. The program was My Favorite Martian which is a spoofed up science fiction comedy series. The program features a Martian who can disappear and levitate objects so it's not unusual to see things either moving or floating in midair.

Anyway, the tricks employed to levitate things were embarrassingly obvious in standard HD/1080 resolution as it was dead easy to see that they had been suspended on nylon fishing line. When the show was first aired the most common TV standards were 405, 525 and 625 lines so the series producers were betting that the limiting resolution of these TV systems would hide the lines—which clearly they did. BTW, as a young kid I used to watch the show [on 625 B&W], and if I'd have seen that fishing line then I've made a big deal out of the fact.

Incidentally, the early series were in black & white and filmed on 35mm film which meant the original negatives would have been dazzlingly sharp in comparison to the then TV systems. It's interesting to note the present video quality of this series—unlike so many others from the time—is excellent (and that includes the later color episodes). Clearly, the recent transfer/digitization was done from negatives have been archived well. It's especially obvious in the color series which are of exceptionally good color quality given the passage of time (there's not a trace of fade, cross-coupling of color dyes or color bleed which plagues so many old films).
I don't think your summary is correct. The fragment says there's no evidence for Russian gov connection, but there is some for country connection.

And the law enforcement actions against Russian ransomware groups are... pretty weak. Could have something to do with a few campaigns actually disabling the malware if Russian language is detected.
It's just a memorable metaphor. Brooks advocated a small team of specialists and assistants supporting a hands on lead because it's a good way to develop software. Not because it's good for surgery.
The A55 is an in-order, 2 wide, low performance core from 2017 that was an embarrassing choice to put in a modern SOC a couple of years ago.

Compare it to Apple's "little" Icestorm cores, which are at about the performance level of everyone else's big cores a couple of years ago.

>The Icestorm design is actually a quite major leap for Apple as it sees the introduction of a third integer ALU pipeline, and a full second FP/SIMD pipeline, vastly increasing the execution capabilities of this core. At this point it would be wrong to call it a “small” core anymore as it now essentially matches the big core designs from Arm from a few years ago, being similar in complexity as an A75.

I ordered an item for Mother's Day. A few days later I noticed it still had no shipping date, and I was unable to upgrade the shipping option to 2-day shipping.

I contacted Live Chat and they said:

* "I will add rush delivery notes for you"

* "we will do the rest for you with a rush delivery"

Then it was the Friday before Mother's Day and I got a notification the item will be delivered some time the following week.

I contacted Amazon Live Chat again:

* We never promised you a specific delivery date.

That's completely true, Amazon.

Turns out "I will add rush delivery notes for you" and "we will do a rush delivery" is a meaningless customer service thing you can say like, "your call is important to us".

This doesn't require taking any action to expedite the order or, failing that, telling the customer who is asking you about delivery for Mother's Day that they need to order a different product if they expect it to arrive in time.

So basically Amazon Customer Service is now no better or worse than any generic chat bot you can use to accomplish (or fail to accomplish) the same thing.

It's my own fault: if an item had no delivery date the week before Mother's Day, I should have canceled earlier.
You basically have to accept the relatively small, upfront cost of verbose declarations for these sorts of things in exchange for the lack of headaches + bugs you wind up with later.

Or not, you can also choose not to write these kinds of languages and nobody can blame you -- to each their own.
Using emotionally charged language is usually pretty off-putting. Some people are used to using emotionally charged language any time they feel some way, but I think that ends up wearing people down for when they hear it in the future. That's probably why you have so many people here commenting about the use of "harm".
I would have a problem with a manager if they did this "publicly" within the team/company. Airing it out on twitter is even more egregious. "Severe incompetence" is somehow understating it IMO, although i can't think of a better description.

If what they said is true:

1) Management hired a developer

2) Paid him for years

3) Gained millions of users

4) Became bankrupt

5) Publicly named the developer as a slacker and the reason the business is failing.

More comments from the founder. Nowhere does he take any responsibility for this mess, just blame blame blame.

"The salary amount isn't unreasonable or excessive. It's the lack of material output that makes it unjustified."

- So, don't pay him for years while bankrupting your project?

"I'm being explicit now since vague tweeting allegations isn't productive."

- Explicitly tweeting allegations isn't productive either. It just makes you and your project look bad. There's no way I'm donating to you now.

"The reason there's no money is because someone took a $130k annual salary and didn't actually work on the project."

- And was allowed to do so for a long time. Also, that's only one part of the equation, was this developer also responsible for fundraising? Or other spending?

"I raised this in March when I looked into it and noticed that for the first two months of the year he had left only two brief comments and created no comments."

- You didn't notice your employees had shipped nothing for two months? Or you were OK with this at the time and are now retroactively blaming them?
The first sentence of their purported apology does contain 3 obvious Russisms.
We launched QuestDB last summer [1, 2]. Our storage model is vector-based and append-only. This meant that all incoming data had to arrive in the correct time order. This worked well for some use cases but we increasingly saw real-world cases where data doesn't always land at the database in chronological order. We saw plenty of developers and users come and go specifically because of this technical limitation. So it became a priority to deal with out-of-order data.

The big decision was which direction to take to tackle the problem. LSM trees seemed an obvious choice, but we chose an alternative route so we wouldn't lose the performance we spent years building. Our latest release supports out-of-order ingestion by re-ordering data on the fly. That's what this article is about.

Also, we had many people asking about the differences between QuestDB and other open-source databases and why users should consider giving it a try instead of other systems. When we launched on HN, readers showed a lot of interest in side-by-side comparisons to other databases on the market. One suggestion [3] that we thought would be great to try out was to benchmark ingestion and query speeds using the Time Series Benchmark Suite (TSBS) [4] developed by TimescaleDB. We're super excited to share the results in the article.

China would probably be the best case study available, but they are of course notoriously difficult to get reliable data about. DeFi (Ethereum Decentralized Finance) would be the next best case study but finding someone capable of wading through all of the scams to find the actual projects is going to be almost as hard as getting reliable data out of China.

I definitely agree with the first. On the second, it would depend entirely on the design. And so long as one government crypto currency existed that was amenable to the practice, that should be sufficient.

It's not as if lack of government endorsement is preventing usage now, and the fact that a cryptocurrency was sponsored by some foreign country should matter little.

SpaceX's effort to take first-stage reuse from moonshot to mundane is nothing short of extraordinary. It still makes me smile to think of how breathlessly excited we got over individual frames of grainy footage from the first water landing tests. The fact that landing and reuse now seem routine gives me a high degree of confidence that they will succeed in future endeavors - landing a Starship seemed inevitable, rather than the stuff of sci-fi dreams that it was only a few years ago.
That's the usual price drop as these SKUs achieved mass market and got economies of scale.
It's about being a critical and alert reader, not cynical. That's how we protect ourselves from directly injecting nonsense into our brains. People don't do it enough.

That's a cool plain-language summary:

The strength of Earth's magnetic field in the past, recorded by rocks and sediments, provides a proxy for past flux of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to Earth's surface due to the role of the field in modulating stratigraphic ozone. About 40,000 years ago, mammalian fossils in Australia and Eurasia record an important die‐off of large mammals that included Neanderthals in Europe. In the Americas and Europe, a large mammalian die‐off appears to have occurred ~13,000 years ago. Both die‐offs can be linked to minima in Earth's magnetic field strength implying that UVR flux variations to Earth's surface influenced mammalian evolution. For the last ~200,000 years, estimates of the timing of branching episodes in the human evolutionary tree, from modern and fossil DNA and Y chromosomes, can be linked to minima in field strength, which implies a long‐term role for UVR in human evolution. New fossil finds, improved fossil dating, knowledge of the past strength of Earth's magnetic field, and refinements in the human evolutionary tree, are sharpening the focus on a possible link between UVR arriving at the Earth's surface, magnetic field strength, and events in mammalian evolution.
