You’re incorrect on nearly all of this and haven’t “broken out” of the forced narrative. All I can suggest is you go back to the primary sources yourself. Don’t take my word for it, don’t take your preferred media outlet’s word for it. Dig it up and decide.

The lab leak is overwhelmingly likely. It’s the Occam’s Razor without question. It’s still a hypothesis to be clear. It’s not proven. It could be wrong. But if we are assigning probabilities, it’s extremely one sided. It should have been the leading hypothesis from the beginning.

But Trump said it, so it must be wrong. We must find reasons for it to be not only wrong, but worthy of ridicule. And when those narratives fall, we must keep shifting the goal posts. And when that doesn’t work anymore, we must blame our failure on republicans in some roundabout way.

Sorry, that’s not how we science. We have to put the damn political tribal warfare away for a minute.
Basically it boils down to storing state per client. Would you rest the bulk part of it on the server, or on the client?

In the initial days of the web, it was stored on server. But before that, in desktop application era it was stored on client.
"Given how you can “game” your pitches - from the VCs perspective isn’t this bad? Wouldn’t that mean potentially bad companies could “con” you into funding them?"

It's pretty similar to gaming job interviews. But in my experience, VCs are very good at reading between the lines, to the point that they sometimes understand the pitch better than the person making it. I don't see anything here as gaming it though. Some VCs even recommend you do something similar.

"I wonder what the downside is of being strictly objective is (if possible)."

The best investments often have a lot of strengths and a lot of weaknesses. Being strictly objective usually emphasizes the weaknesses more. A lot of VCs look for strengths, but these are often unique and poorly defined.
I'm not sure why this got posted again on HN. It's been posted numerous times, though in the past the url used to be

In general it's good for men to be aware that women don't actually like each other, on average.

Certainly not as much as men like women, on average.

I keep "rediscovering" this, so maybe others need to be told/reminded.
The FDA doesn't tell people what to research, it tells the public what existing research confirms is safe to use.

If a bunch of scientists think iverwhatever is viable they can do a proper study on it and get it published and peer reviewed.

To "drop everything" would be criminally negligent, there's lots of things that can and should be researched in parallel.
I read "are there any transmissible cancers in humans?" in the context as referring to cancers that are themselves transmissible like devil facial tumor disease. (It appears every result in the first few pages of a Google search for the term "transmissible cancer" refers to transmission of cancer cells themselves, not cancers caused by infectious agents.)
What an excellent write-up. So much to take notes on.
I've read elsewhere that their approach involves using rapamycin - a drug used by transplant patients. Apparently, it has been reviewed positively as a potential anti-aging agent for humans [0]. The unique approach here is to treat animals, rather than humans, and thus avoid the extensive and expensive trials that human testing would require.

In practice, this isn't a problem. Any reasonably modern Linux kernel will do.

The container image will usually be based on a Linux distribution (so, Ubuntu if you want it, often something lightweight like Alpine). Most applications don't actually see the kernel: they see the system library (eg. glibc, musl) and it hides differences in system call versions, etc.

This is not a problem in general usage. A container will work on basically any Linux kernel.
Not if they are using Airflow :)
Not really the same thing. That's just once a day.

If we wanna go deep we can talk about the evolutionary origins of gossip. I'm sure being a social animal with complex signs and individual identities demands communication about one's neighbours and peers.

What I mean is a constantly televised high bandwidth audio visual stream. That's only 40 years old.
I do metaprogramming in quite a few languages -- Python is the worst, and lisp is the best (and I've got literally thousands of times more experience with python). To me, homoiconicity is huge -- especially the comma and backtick operators make it a breeze. If you don't metaprogram, maybe you don't care -- but if you care at all about performance, a tiny collection of features it enables a whole new programming paradigm.

Contrast this to Python. The best feature is f-strings, which approaches the ease of backtick/comma. But the lack of homoiconicity means you can't just jam a bunch of statements in a list -- for crap's sake, indentation makes everything a pain.
Huh, I didn't know that, I'd wondered why so many sites defaulted them all to unchecked.

Fastly's one seems a pretty dark-patterned in general, throwing up a primary-styled "allow all" button (and simultaneously pushing the switches out of view) if you disable one of the options.
> And no one will read it unless you can post links on facebook, twitter and reddit.

I suppose the question is how long that list of websites really is, and how long it needs to be before people stop calling all those websites "monopolies." Obviously it would be fairly absurd to say "no one will read your website unless you can post links on site 1, site 2, site 3, ... site 3,109,550, and therefore those 3.1 million websites are monopolies."
99.9% of all species that ever existed went extinct before humans even came around. Nature is the biggest killer of them alle.

So there’s this study[1] that says it largely doesn’t matter if you already come from privilege and wealth, but it CAN matter if you don’t.

In my personal experience, the professional network you build in college is ultimately what has value to your career long term. This opens up opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t occur. You’re basically paying for a 4 year opportunity to collaborate with folks at a certain level of ability(?) wealth(?) social standing(?). And the degree you earn signals more about your social standing - you belong to that “club” - then specific knowledge or skills you’ve earned.

I think if you didn’t go to college and could swing a gig at Google or another FAANG, you’d have the same kind of credentialing...

It reminds me of Canada's Habitat 67, which is also made up of prefabricated concrete rooms and sealed bathroom units. Designed as cheap housing for the future, it is now luxery housing but residents have to put up with similar problems such as a pipe burst in one apartment causes major problems.

The Baltic states have had proper digital authentication for years. Priv/pub key pair on the Xth iteration digital identity card that is checked against your passport physically. The problem isn't that governments don't have proper digital authentication. It's that most countries want to reinvent it every time. The German version is a clusterfuck that they then had to force into existence by mandating it by law and yet normal citizen services can't be done with it.

> I think it is the wood mafia trying to make a living out of enforcing city codes to use only lumber for houses.

Not really. No more than the ice mafia made the inuit build igloos out of ice. People do with what they have. The eastern seaboard is chock full of trees. When the settlers arrived, they used what was readily available. It's far easier for settlers to make homes out of wood than stone/rocks/etc and concrete didn't exist back in the 1600s/1700s. And as the borders of the country expanded westward, the style of homes made its way west as well.
I published a photobook 'Danchi Dreams' in 2018 that captured the massive Japanese apartment blocks from the same era as Nakagin. The apartment buildings, known as 'danchi', were constructed from the 1960s - 1980s to replace burnt-out cities and house a booming population. Though they might not be quite as spectacular as what the Metabolists dreamed up I think they shared a forward-looking vision for what the modern world could be. http://danchi-dreams.com/
I've been using makesite.py, which is ~200 lines of python, dumping the picture in a pics folder and then hand editing the markdown.

Maybe a few lines of code and template work would let you add a custom template that would automatically add a folder worth of images.

First, discussion of pop culture is not inherently unproductive, especially if you are in a creative industry. Being productive about over-engineering an automated deployment cluster isn’t inherently more valuable than learning about the rise and fall of trends or the animation style of popular shows and games.

One of the biggest channels on freenode/open projects back in the earlier lilo days was #bay-oh, which, while populated with a bunch of proto-devops people, was almost wholly social.

Even purely social interaction is productive and valuable, the career success of many people after the first dot com crash relied on being friends with everyone they knew from Ironport or whatever.

Why coupling will destroy your application and how to avoid it
There's something to that and getting experience with all components of your craft.
The big issues we had were because we had different services reaching into and editing the same db tables in some cases. Re-architecting to have all data access via a new API (instead of direct DB access) across 13 services ran by 8 different teams across 2 business orgs has proven hard.

The other thing that can be a pain is due to rigid agile sprints. Need a change? Well that might get into their next sprint but there are probably other, higher priorities, so maybe next quarter. Or team A just does the work on team B’s service, and waits for code reviews and quality checks.

The article makes some good points, but I thought this was incorrect:

> The only reason to tweet a graph or chart at someone rather than to report a coefficient of determination is to obfuscate.

That isn't true. They use graphs and charts because most people don't understand what a coefficient of determination is. If you tweeted out that number, your tweet would not convince anyone because they wouldn't know what it means.
Wouldn't QUIC work all the same with that setup, considering that you're not using MPTCP end-to-end? Or do you have a SOCKS or HTTP proxy on the other side of the aggregated links?

Also, why do you need MPTCP for this? Aren't there simpler methods for this kind of setup, like LACP? Or is OpenMPTCProuter, like OpenVPN, one of those things that everybody uses because everybody else does, with more informal documentation and help?

I haven't done this myself but it looks like OpenBSD would support LACP out-of-the-box w/ the aggr(4) or trunk(4) devices. See https://man.openbsd.org/aggr.4, https://man.openbsd.org/trunk.4, and https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20190710071440. I presume standard Linux distros have similar support.

EDIT: To be clear, AFAIU you'd also need to combine the LACP pseudo-devices w/ something like tpmr(4) and etherip(4) to actually bridge the peers. See https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=201908022358... which describes tpmr(4) as providing a simpler complement for use in LACP-over-IP setups, where the normal bridge(4) device would require too much additional configuration. Again, I presume Linux has analogs.
You'd hope that if there had been promising candidates for prophylactic/therapeutic treatment involving off-patent/generic drugs that the regulator and the medical establishment would have considered them on their merits, and not systematically squashed them with bad studies and half-truths in favor of top-shelf Big Pharma products. It would be unconscionable for people in these positions of authority to have shown partiality towards the pharmaceutical industry in a matter like this which would have delayed access to treatment and which gives rise to serious concerns about patient safety, especially considering the difference in the amount of medium and long-term safety data that is available about them (months compared to decades).
Having a total of 20 supersonic airlines wasn't exactly common place.

And spending 1.5% of your GDP to send like ten people to the moon probably isn't that great an achievement from a cost benefit analysis (I know there will be fierce disagreement).

Not taking away from how amazing those things are but we have billions of computers that connect most people in the world together which in my opinion just insanely amazing.
how fast the ads can load

Of course in the 70s they had over the air TV so the ads loaded instantly.
The author makes a good point but focuses on schools where affirmative action is legal. In contrast, schools where it's illegal (like for example, public schools in California and Washington) are dropping the SAT because it allows them to admit "holistically" and thereby admit more "desired" ("underrepresented") minorities because a larger percentage of the application is subjective.

I find this particularly egregious because voters in both states rejected affirmative action very recently and yet the state funded administrations of these schools are going ahead with these policies.
APIs are not what's hard IMO. Creating a layer simulating S3 API is pretty straightforward.

Designing and implementing a highly available and resilient storage solution on-prem is much more harder task that will take 99% of time & budget to do properly compared to a compatibility layer.
What an interesting development. Now I can (ab)use a spreadsheet in all sorts of unexpected ways. This appeals to both my lazy and hardworking sides simultaneously.

I like the landing page examples as well. Trello/calendar/discord... nice.
> My argument is more focused on the central role that Twitter plays in our political process. If you have a better word to use for that concept than "monopoly"

What's the concept then, other than that Twitter is doing things that you don't like? That's obviously not a sufficient argument, and if antitrust law isn't the reason for legal action to be taken against them, what's the reason? The only other legal course I could imagine is significant changes to media laws (which I'm certainly not opposed to, but those seem more difficult to argue for than antitrust action), or perhaps going at it from the other side and changing the laws around how public figures must communicate with the public.
No, it's famously a VC thing, and it causes problems for ordinary US people as well.
Convincing an employer to pay expenses seems like a decent negotiating tactic, a way of charging more.

But it doesn’t seem like it should be treated as a moral issue? It’s just how you structure the transaction. You could also charge more by changing more and paying the expenses, which gives you more control over spending.
Windows Package Manager Released by Microsoft
Once setup, I found that amount of code required for creating a simple trace via otel and logging is roughly the same.

Refer to: https://github.com/michaelperel/otel-demo/blob/master/cmd/se...

51: Start a span. Equivalent to one line of log
60: Add a event. Equivalent to one log
69: Set attribute. This retroactively add attribute to whole span since the start. While log don't have exact same effect, one line of log can be used here.
74: RecordError. Equivalent to one log

I haven't compare amount of code to setup a proper logger which connected to correct infra with amount of code to setup otel yet. Still, I don't think it gonna make much difference.

In general, I won't mind either approach if I get a great visualizer. The main reason I would choose OpenTelemetry is I get trace visualizers for free and I can switch to better visualizer anytime that I want.
How can you read this then casually say Tom Cotton was spreading ridiculous theories that covid was engineered? One of the main points in the article is he never said that and what he did say was pretty reasonable. It’s ok if you think the article is wrong about that, but you should at least give a source for your claim at this point.
TiDB Cloud Now in Public Preview
I work in an organization with a lot of internal line-of-business apps for manufacturing. While there might be hundreds or thousands of users, the problem just doesn't really warrant the extra steps that microservices requires to really work. (If my users want reporting, we can just run reports against the main database. We don't need some Report service implementing CQRS or Event Sourcing to put all the disparate pieces together...)

However, I will say we've taken some considerations from the microservices discussion to heart and thought more about fault-tolerance, ci/cd, and streamlining the deployment process so we've definitely gotten some value from the zeitgeist.

That said, most of our apps end up being a fairly relaxed monolith with some service integrations here and there. And you know what? It's pretty nice sometimes :)

The Pains of Living with an EV My Worst Experience Yet
A virtual machine runs a kernel on an virtualized CPU. Different CPU versions exist, but so long as they have the basic virtualization extensions, the hyperviser will be fine. From inside the VM, it looks like you own the CPU.

A container runs applications on a virtualized kernel (kinda). Different kernel version exist, but so long as they have the basic namespacing extensions, the container will be fine. From inside the container, it looks like you own the kernel.

It's like a chroot, but for everything. You have your own init, your own daemons, your own applications.
I don't mean to attack the author rather than the article, but it's hard to take them seriously when they use terms like "liberals hate" and "lol" in an article that aims to be empirical. It's just so needlessly adversarial?

You touch on something very important in terms of confidence. People in this thread say there’s an unfair higher expectation for safety with autonomous cars. I think this is primarily because we can reasonably intuit what a human is thinking and will likely do. We can’t do that with AI so it’s reasonable to expect higher levels of starter before we fully trust them in the same way we’ve evolved to trust other humans.

Can you please elaborate what kind of decision to make on D? It's a general purpose programming language with excellent metaprogramming capability.

As a comparison, has Python decided what it wanted to be? A scripting language like Perl, data processing language like R, tool command language like TCL or web backend programming language like PHP or RoR? But nobody in their right mind will ever say Python need to decide on his direction when it grows old.

As you probably have known when Python is around 20 years old (like D today), it played second or third fiddle to PHP, TCL, Ruby (RoR), Perl and R in their respective domains, and at the time the growing pain into Python 3 is yet to happen. But looks where is it now?

Personally I think the D language foundation is already solid [1]. It just need a killer application for it to be more popular and well-known just like what RoR did to Ruby. And if you have a solid foundation, it will probably just a matter of time for it to properly take off.

From the OP: "There is just more disagreement and dissension than you would know unless you took the time to reach out to people and speak to them in a more relaxed way.

My strong suspicion is that this is true across domains of expertise, and is creating a lot of bubbles of fake consensus that can become very misleading. And I don’t have a solution."

I've also found this to be true on HN, though slightly less so. The above comment might be an example, where it oversimplifies something and everyone just appears to agree.
I think there are very good reasons why languages have their own custom formats and none of them ever decided to serialize into json, even when just "generating it".
> Almost every time I search for some technical information, all I find are blogs with incorrect information

Years ago I purchased a laptop with two SSD hard drives RAID'd together at the factory. Of course, it came with Windows; I wanted un-RAID'd SSD hard drives and to install a flavor of Linux on the Primary. Some flavoring to the problem was that [IIRC] at the time there was a BIOS vs UEFI "Linux situation" with this type of setup, which this laptop was in the middle of.

So I went searching around for a solution. I ended up quilting together a solution from three different forum//blog posts and tested it out. I ended up writing myself a working procedure for this quilted solution because for me and this laptop was apparently just a bit different to need all three together in a particular order to work at the time.

Laptop still works [after numerous Linux-flavor OS installations] except for a hardware-level dead right speaker [not sure if my fault or just wear-and-tear over the years].
