Unless you plan to throw out everything else and only ever use Snowflake, Hive Metastore is still as important as ever.

I'm always a bit worried about using a Windows 10 machine in the lab. You never really know when it will decide to update and randomly reboot (or show a fullscreen ad for Edge). Unfortunately with the EOL of Windows 7 there aren't many alternatives. Lots of lab hardware (especially from small manufacturers) is still Windows only. That is a problem you didn't have with your 386 machine running DOS.
The vx does not make a safe encoded version it makes an identically coded one. That would also correlate to the strokes, clots, and heart attacks we are seeing as side effect of vx.
Nice, looks very clean.

As in Elm, I’ve never fully understood why the events emit a value of some message type that gets interpreted into a function from ‘state -> state’ instead of handling with a state transformation directly.

Feels like boilerplate to me. I can see situations where this approach is useful, but should it be the default?

I guess you can always change your message type to ‘a -> a’ and interpret with ‘id’ if you want to.

In Switzerland, we're soon going to vote on two initiatives ¹² aiming at reducing pesticide use.
The first is essentially about forbidding the use of all artificial pesticides by 2031 (also importation of food that was produced abroad using pesticides).
The second is about removing subsidies to farmers that use any kind of pesticide, or regularly use antibiotics on their livestock, etc.

I feel like they are quite drastic initiatives, but it's good to at least have a desire for change.
I'm interested in any opinion from knowledgeable people on the subject!

It seems there are some conflicting ideas about what "embedded" means. For the conventional definition, if it's in a single function box that doesn't look like a computer, it's embedded. Even 20-30 years ago your laser printer might have had more CPU and memory than the computer connected to it, and it was considered embedded. ATMs are embedded too. MS sells "embedded" versions of Windows.

Maybe the industry would benefit from some more fine grained terminology here, perhaps call the small stuff MCU embedded?
Again, I'm not a biologist but I highly doubt that. Evolution had millions of years to create very specialised genes in different organisms. Genes have complex interactions between them and we don't always have a full grasp of those interactions. Cherry picking a single gene from an insect and transplanting it onto a plant might have unforeseen effects.

I'm neither pro-pesticide nor anti-GMO but we should refrain ourselves from a blanket "GMO is natural, hence better than chemicals" statement.
It’s extremely available already so there’s not a big market that’s just waiting for it to be legal and it’s not really an issue in states where it’s legal and easily accessible. Legal weed also enables manufacturing smokeless versions at scale. Edibles and vapes are basically odorless and very popular
When we first started using pesticides we didn't understand the long term implications. How can you be so confident that you understand the long term implications of an arguably much more complex application (genetic vs chemical)?

I think it will go the way of cigarette smoke once full legalization is achieved nationwide. You'll get a whiff occasionally, but as the novelty wears off, most people will smoke indoors in the comfort of their own homes. I think weed inhibits some motor functions too much for it to become commonplace in work places or in public areas like cigarettes were.

There are also vapes, which don't have any of the smell, and coincidentally are much more convenient to smoke in public, likely for that very reason.

I live in a large apartment building. Every once in a while, I'll walk outside my door into the shared indoor hallway and get a whiff of something. This is rare, though if I was a betting man, I would bet that of everyone on my floor, someone is likely smoking every day. Some days it's stronger, other days it's faint. I can't smell it in my apartment at all, and it doesn't seem to linger as long as the area is well ventilated.

Would I prefer it didn't smell? Yes. But, it's not much different than when some other neighbor decides to smoke a brisket on their balcony. It's just a different smell. And for the record, I also don't like the smell of weed.

I think the "video stream of someone working/studying" thing might actually work for me.

I've found libraries, cafés, and labs to be more productive work environments than typical offices. I think it's because 1) they were either quiet or had constant background noise, 2) there was more privacy/anonymity/freedom, and 3) more people seemed to be actively working on projects and not just trying to look busy.

Also probably fewer interruptions - interruptions are ruinous for any task that requires concentration.

You weren't supposed to leave your data clutter on the machine after you burned it onto your disc, but people certainly got lazy with that.

Sunday morning, around Midnight Mountain time, one of my family's not very well secured vaults was logged in to from an IP address in Bangkok.

I'm wondering if that is related to this issue; I would assume that attempts to login using all the account information in haveibeenpwned databases would cause a lot of traffic and attempts to block it could lead to Cloudflare collateral damage, as well as heavy load on the backend systems.

I had contacted their support (which I'll say was really good a couple years ago when I signed up), and got a pretty lack-luster response. The initial response was along the lines of "Are you sure your account was actually accessed? Did you check the e-mail that was received to make sure it wasn't spoofed? Could it have been a login you forgot you did? Maybe a friend is playing a joke on you?"

I asked them if they had any logs of what actions were taken related to the login (just a login, was the vault accessed or downloaded)? They said they don't keep those sorts of logs for personal accounts.

I've been a supporter of Bitwarden, but lately I've been more dissatisfied and ready to switch to something else. A large part of why I selected them was the audit a number of years ago, and that they had clients for all the platforms I was interested in.

On the fence, I think my account renews in 5 months...

This article highlights how the pandemic accelerated the alcoholism of people who previously only “had an alcohol problem”, but that is only part of the story.

I am alcoholic Brit who has “not touched a drop” for nearly 5 years. I have also lived in America, Europe and Asia. My personal experience is still that America has way less of a drinking culture than UK.

Most people who drink alcohol do NOT become alcoholics. This is unlike smoking where almost everyone becomes addicted.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a naturally occurring bacterium in the soil that produces proteins specifically active against certain insects.

This is the exact same insecticide used by certified organic growers. Plant breeders have just engineered the plants to produce it in their leaves, not in the corn itself.

For thirty years objections have been raised, scientific research has been done disproving the objections. Yet Bt corn is still banned in a large part of Europe.

I feel like a lot of people here are pontificating about something they don't understand. It smells like few people here are mathematicians, and yet they're speaking with reddit levels of hubris, attributing simpletons' logical fallacies to a published astrophysicist. Usually Hacker News is better than this.

I'm myself not a mathematician, but I believe I understand his argument, and I see no fallacies. Everything he's written falls out of assuming power laws govern the pertinent quantities. In the absence of additional information, this seems not just valid but the correct starting assumption.

I hope we all understand the linked website is a casual release for the public. With the reception he's getting here -- the absolute lack of respect for a professor's passion project -- it's no wonder few scientists bother to engage with the public. He's written a formal paper on this: https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/456/1/L59/2589573
A dollar says that his ideas have survived close scrutiny by his colleagues, both mathematicians and astrophysicists. One of them might step in to teach us something, if we were a bit more respectful.
Given the success of AlphaGo, and Pluribus’ ability to dominate humans 1-on-1, I’d be surprised if Pluribus couldn’t eventually be generalized to ring games. I’d also be surprised if today’s batch of online poker bots weren’t actively informed by ML or AI. Nor am I confident poker can be played in a fully online setting in a way that is impervious to cheating with bots.

Perhaps augmented reality experiences could help professionals play more hands of live poker, balancing volume with integrity of the games.
I get the points against gloves in your links, but from my experience my hands will constantly leave fingerprints and oil on the books no matter how much I wash it.

How do they avoid this issue? Or just don't bother?
In practice, though, to implement Intl you pretty much need a robust implementation of a strftime-like date formatting function, as well as a full set of month/weekday/etc strings for every language you support. So it's less "add this functionality" and more "expose the functionality this clearly already has".
"we shouldn't mess with nature" is also a naturalistic fallacy, fyi
When a Tile device associates to another device that detects it, that device has to send a network packet to the cloud that says that it found a Tile with a certain serial number. That’s using your network/your bandwidth to transmit proprietary data about someone else’s property, without asking your permission. That’s exactly the same in kind, just maybe not in degree.

New Tile devices can play a sound on command. If you use Sidewalk to send a play-sound command to a Tile, then again you are using this proprietary shared network.
Read it through (quickly though). One thing that I did not get is why the alien should be around 310kg.
If I were to naively use the same arguments: as surely as I am probably from a country with a very high population, and as surely as I probably have a common bloodtype, surely I have probably a very common weight? So should not the average alien bij somewhere around 80-100kg?

State actors have objectives. Even if that objective is just to test their capabilities.

One of my fondest memories was accompanying my then partner to another city, so she could use their particle accelerator for her research. I didn't get to go anywhere near the accelerator and so I just wandered the city, had dinner and whatnot.

It was mostly operated from a command line and she was run through how to operate the equipment and do her tests, then left pretty much to her own devices with the accelerator.

At a bit after midnight, I get a couple of text messages, her firings all went to plan, but she can't figure out the command line in order to archive and copy the data to her personal drive. Cue a 1am phone call trying to figure out what the operating system was and what commands were at our disposal. Thankfully it was unix based and everything went smoothly, but it was fun and I was glad to feel useful on the trip!

That doesn't give any of those people the years they missed behind bars that time back. I think monetary compensation isn't out of the question for the vast majority of those "offenders". I'm not saying you gotta pay them a million bucks each, but $10-20k for each year behind bars would go a long way to helping them get back on their feet. That's a downpayment on a house and less stress on finding a job as fast as humanly possible upon release. If you don't pay them directly, then setup some sort of fund as a category under the unemployment system to provide resources.
Wow, Seattle based company supports legal weed 8 years after WA legalized it. Golf clap
You can't. The post is still somewhat valuable, but should really not use "trustworthy."
In some sense, mathematics is just a game you play. Playing round with different axioms is encouraged.

Another view at axioms is that they are like an API:

Whenever you find a system (real world or elsewhere in math) that fits the axioms of group theory, you can apply all kinds of already proven theorems to it. Very much like building a library on top of an API spec.

In this perspective, faith doesn't come into the picture at all: the axioms of a specific theory are just the shape of the socket that you need to fit your plug in to get already proven theorems for free.

(A somewhat similar special case is reductions in computer science: where eg you show that some new problem is at least as hard as one we already know to be NP complete.)
Capitalism needs to be fixed immediately! The root cause is that short-term profits are more important than sustainability. Using pesticides is just one of many symptoms.
Weed has a much stronger smell than cigarette; I can easily smell my neighbor's weed when I walk on the sidewalk, even though they are smoking inside, and there are about 10 meters from their house to the sidewalk.

That said, I still support the legalization. As much as I find weed's smell revolting and disgusting, the freedom simply outweighs the concern.

The "hangovers get worse when you are older" tripe is a miscorrelation. Any ageing alcoholic can attest to that.

The majority drink hardest when they're in their 20s, start slowing down in their 30s, and all but teetotal as they progress through their 40s. Hangovers are all just a product of your tolerance.
Why can't you? The article explains how.
I've had the misfortune of several alcoholic roommates, and it's disturbing. They'll yell at you, threaten you, get emotional, violent, cry, the whole works, and then deny it all the next morning.

In contrast, every regular marijuana user I've known long enough to form a judgement about their habit is very inoffensive to the people around them. It doesn't seem to bleed out into their work and emotional lives as much.

The evidence doesn't support marijuana being more dangerous than alcohol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_harmfulness#/media/File:D...
Alcohol is moderately more habit forming, and several orders of magnitude more dangerous.

I don't think so. The firm I contract for requires me to work through MBO and use a CPA, which of both have a ton of advice and research on the 199A... See this:

> Under the law, most trades or businesses are “qualifying” businesses. However, for certain types of businesses, referred to as “specified businesses,” the deduction is only available to a more limited extent. “Specified businesses” include (among others) any trade or business involving the performance of services in the fields of health, law, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, consulting, athletics, financial services, brokerage services, and “any trade or business where the principal asset of such trade or business is the reputation or skill of one or more of its employees.” In particular, there had been considerable concern that the IRS might view the “skill or reputation” clause broadly.

> The proposed regulations, however, take the approach that the “skill or reputation” clause is meant to refer to a “narrow set of businesses,” and generally limits it to people such as reality TV stars, media hosts, and professional gamers, as well as celebrities making money off of product or likeness endorsements.

> Why is it so hard to use? What made cloudera not see how difficult their product was to use and invest in fixing that?

It is packaged open source software, from multiple projects (some of which are financed by Cloudera) all of which release at different paces.

And distributed systems are really hard to get right. There are lots of knobs to tune, all of which are needed in some circumstances, but.. there are lots of things to go wrong.

Cloudera is probably the market leader for on-prem Hadoop clusters.
