That is the dumbest shit I have ever seen.

I'm so glad I was completely consumed with interest in computers and programming all throughout the 90s. I almost never watched television, and after watching this, I'm glad I didn't.

It never fails to amaze me that people are stupid enough to believe a fictional program they watch, which even has disclaimers at the end of each program telling you its fictional. I'm sure someone with rush to the defense of these idiots and claim they're just "gullible" but I'm not sure that's better.

One of the better tutorials I remember was for the Blood Dragon Far Cry 3 expansion. It’s a tongue in cheek riff on 80’s action movies and games and the tutorial is silly fun because of it.

Not the first game to make a joke of its tutorial but it was memorable!

Here's an underrated alternative for people who stand: LEANRITE. Love mine, been using it for 4 months so far. Next level standing desk.

Having used many office chairs for extended periods over my career here's my ranking. (I have a long torso, and use it for productivity, not lounging).

* Herman Miller Embody (current main).

* Ikea Jarvfjallet

* Ikea Karsten (discontinued but great and cheap. Ikea Volmar and Flintan are similar).

* Ikea Markus (non-adjustable lumbar sucks for long torsos).

* Clutch gaming chairs. (all gaming chairs sweat hard).

* DX Racer gaming chairs. (built for short people).

* Generic $100-300 office chairs (uline, source office, etc. Horribly uncomfortable after 4+ hours)

* All other cheap office or cheap gaming chairs.

I have one and it's a terrible chair.

The seat is too high, even at lowest setting. I had to raise my desk on blocks so I could cross my legs under it, which is just wrong because tables and chairs have standard heights so this shouldn't happen.

I'm 175cm and my feet barely reach the floor. had to add a foot-stool.

The arm rests are too far apart, I need to spread my arms wide to use them.

The seat cushion is hard and rises up near the front, cutting off circulation to the legs.

Posture is all wrong, my back and bottom start hurting after a while and I'm constantly shifting positions to relieve the stress.

A terrible, terrible chair.
Quite aside from the scummy behaviour, the assumptions behind it are a real bugbear. Just because I'm on a mobile browser it doesn't mean I'm able, or want to, install apps on my phone. What if it's a friend's phone, or I don't use Google Play, or it's an out of date version of Android, or any number of reasons.

Why does anyone need anything? The iMac is a stationary computer with a large screen that runs macOS and looks pretty. I don't think most people's primary consideration for desktop vs laptop is port selection; it's whether or not they want the computer to move around with them. If you don't need it to move and will keep it in one place, a desktop makes sense. If you want to cart your computer around, a laptop makes sense.

The iMac is especially nice as a stationary computer for most people: the monitor and computer are integrated into the same housing, so it's one less cable to deal with. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, the only cord coming off your desk is the power cable for the iMac. In comparison a laptop + external display will feel a bit clunky, and will come out to be more expensive anyway. If you never move it, it's a waste.

No kingdoms offered huge prizes for the first electric light, or the first antibiotic, the first radio, or the first computer. But geolocation has always been considered a big deal, and it arguably wasn't well and truly solved until the advent of satellite navigation. It'd be surprising if it weren't being planned for the next generation of Mars orbiters.

> 1. Like any other industry, 90% of medical “experts” are totally incompetent.

Yeah, I've come to the same conclusion. When I was a kid it took 2 years to diagnose my, frankly quite textbook, hypothyroidism. Know who first diagnosed it? A friend of my mother's who worked the toll booth at the airport. Her dog had it, you see, so she recognized the symptoms. My mother had to go full Karen mode on a doctor to get them to order the simple blood test that would confirm it.
Looking at the sibling vod, it appears as though they must have “extended” the fixed-width rooms, either with walls or more lava or whatever.

Looking at the second room of the first castle, widescreen seems to give you more actual room to move around in auto-scrolling levels, which offers a significant advantage beyond just information on what’s coming ahead.

If you have any questions or attempt to have a discussion most doctors assume a 'where did you go to medical school' mentality, proceed to type your symptoms into an app, and then simply regurgitate the output.
While I have no particular position, my brother is a molecular biologist and bioinformatics guy who has been published in nature, featured in NYT, etc. A true scientific nerds nerd, and he endlessly ridiculed the poor science and poor scientific understanding of people on the M.D. track that he interacted with in labs while he was doing research.

I do have this anecdote from deep personal experience though... pediatric cardiologists working at research hospitals are some of the kindest, most compassionate, honest and respectful people I have met. Everyone tends to treat children with condescension and patronization (and I feel safe to extrapolate that toward their views of people in general), but those doctors seem to know that as a child you've been weighed... or maybe they just comes from a place of true compassion and pity, people underestimate the importance of compassion, kindness and listening by doctors.. especially as issues become more complex.

I do think AI assistance is going to make a large difference in medical diagnostics work even if reality hasn't caught up with the hype yet.
I suppose with a dynamic language, it may not be much of a problem. But, with a statically typed language you end up with a situation where your IDs are not GraphQL ID types and can't be without type coercion. Since the uuid type isn't standard, you need to add some sort of serialization to and from the uuid type. It results in a lot of unnecessary ceremony just to work with IDs.

I could be mistaken, but I think it also creates issues with client libraries that want to cache around an object ID, as the type is not a GraphQL ID.

I can see how it could, in theory, if the code is extremely complicated and then the comments are lying to you on top. Again I have never experienced this or anything even close to it in 1.5 decades of coding on teams. Unless every comment is wrong then some of them are useful to someone.

On the other hand, I have been bit plenty of times by incorrect documentation outside of code about libraries and APIs.

> Whether software is developed by a single entity or multiple developers has no relation to how complex the end user system will be.

The first part of this sentence is probably true, as far as I see, but the complexity of a system perceived by the user depends primarily on the "surface" of the system. That surface includes the UI, the documentation and important concepts you have to understand for effective usage of the system. And in that regard, ZFS wins hands down against LUKS + LVM + SnapRaid + your FS of choice. Some questions a user of that LVM stack has to answer, aren't even asked of a ZFS user. E.g. the question how to split the space between volumes or how to change the size of volumes.
The killer feature of the Aeron is its ubiquity.

I have bought three used Aerons, and refurbished them with replacement parts.

Because Aerons are everywhere, replacement parts (both OEM and aftermarket) are incredibly easy to find.

Some of these Aeron chairs are 10 years old, and I can find parts for them now. 10 years from now, I will still be able to find parts for them.

Between their overall durability and the availability of replacement parts, I expect that I will be able to keep these chairs going for a very long time. And frankly, that's more valuable to me than any tiny incremental improvements some alternatives to the Aeron might be able to offer.
Not really. Go check a real one in person and I think you'd see the difference pretty quickly. BUT I would check for that there aren't any issues with the mechanics of them.

Ask HN: What does an ML Engineer do?
I have a few years of experience as an ML Engineer, however I recently changed jobs and I was shocked to learn that my new employer has a very different job definition for ML Engineer than the one I was familiar with. I thought that the standard definition of an ML Engineer is an engineer who specializes in building machine learning models, essentially a subtype of a data scientist. At my new company, an ML Engineer is someone who supports ML models but never works on machine learning directly. At this new company, ML Engineers are Data Engineers who support machine learning applications.

What is the generally accepted definition of an ML Engineer?

Great lumbar, head and neck support, lots of adjustments. The reclining is very nice, it’s on a double pivot. Pretty sure it’s a ‘replica’ of a Scandinavian design, the same design featured in HBO’s Silicon Valley (the CEO chair)

WeDiversify
Diversity and Inclusion should be part of the bedrock of every organization. A core part of this is talent sourcing.
WeDiversify provides organizations and teams with a platform to showcase themselves and connect with talent from underrepresented demographics.
Try Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair and they have another one for slightly bigger bodies. Quite nice for the price. I was quite satisfied and I am also a picky sitter.
A Rust or Go DNS server that served as a drop-in replacement for BIND or nsd, on the other hand, is a big win. :)
I've got a refurbished Steelcase Leap, purchased here: https://www.btod.com/steelcase-leap-v2
I'm very happy with it. Excellent seller, has a wide range of chairs including Herman Miller, lots of reviews, great customer service. Free returns on many items (not on the Leap, though my wife bought one first, and I liked it so much I bought one too). Also put skate-wheel style casters on it, makes it much more maneuverable.
New Technique for Labeling and Retrieving DNA Data Files
I guess it's just my default setup now. Beyond not wanting to leak data or have people mess around with URLs, I've had much better luck evenly sharding DB instances with UUIDs. Hasura ostensibly supports both (the option exists to create PKs using UUIDs), but then treats them entirely differently at the GraphQL level.
Usually, yes -- your tests should be decoupled from the implementation.

Usually however, what I see (in Java and Spring Boot land) is test methods which use mocks that are set up to expect certain method calls, e.g. when(accountService.getAccount(id)).thenReturn(account). Typically there are anywhere from six to 20 lines of this stuff per test (and, it's rarely de-duplicated into a separate method). So as soon as the contract to getAccount() changes, a bunch of tests need to change.

Second, it's common to believe that the "unit" in a "unit test" is either a class or (less often) a method. Consequently, people write test classes for every single class of a group of classes that are acting in collaboration, when what they really ought to do is write tests against the single class supplying the public interface, varying input to that class as necessary to achieve good confidence.
If it helps, I'm not sure either. It wasn't a particularly clever joke, and it was a bit gross. I didn't expect to be told off though.
Hi Everyone,

We are really excited to launch WeDiversify.
Diversity and Inclusion is a hot topic amongst organizations today, as most organizations are making a push to diversify their workforce and ensure that different demographies are well represented within their teams.

A great diversity and inclusion strategy would actually start from the talent sourcing stage. So, we built WeDiversify because we realized that there was a need for a job board with a focus on diversity.

WeDiversify provides organizations and teams with a platform to showcase themselves and connect with talent from underrepresented demographics.

WeDiversify has the standard features you would typically find on a job board, but we have taken it a step further to provide an avenue for organizations to highlight their diversity needs. This enables organizations to specify what demographies they need a team member from and have that only published to users within that demography.

Users have free access to job posts on the platform, while job posting is done at a fee(we are making this free over the next month).

We are very much open to feedback. So, kindly check out the product and features and let us know your thoughts. Also, recommend and share with friends.

Thank you for reading and we look forward to having you join our community.

Netflix has been using ZFS in production for many years now. Unnamed research companies are using ZFS moving PB's of data. NetApp is FreeBSD based and was on the forefront of what we now call ZFS. I'm totally biased, designed many production critical systems with ZFS at it's core in one way or another. The power of ZFS send and receive function is tremendous to say the least, it beats any file based synchronizing methods.
Peace of Mind as a Service: PoMAAS (aka: cheap online personal assistant)

So, I pay you to take care of aspects of my life I find tedious to deal with but which I cannot ignore. Examples:

- taxes

- insurances

- doctors (e.g., my tooth aches: get me an appointment with a decent odontologist ASAP. A better example: I have symptoms of something I have never experienced before: get me an appointment with some decent Doctor ASAP)

- I'm moving out. Sell all my furniture for a decent price... And find me a decent apartment according to the following criteria:...

- I want a white t-shirt that is not too loose nor too fit; one that looks just like this one I have here (sadly this precise model is not made anymore)

- I need new soccer shoes. Could you purchase this model I saw on a Japanese tv show?

I know you can hire a personal assistant... But they are damn expensive. I'm willing to pay at most a few hundred dollars per month for around 4 requests per month (this is, I'm entitled to request you 4 tasks per month... As usual, the more you pay, the more you can request).

I can imagine this kind of business may get cheaper at scale (e.g., a company can share their personal assistants among many customers).
To me it felt very self-centered. Like that bit about having the worst injury. Was it really worth pointing out?

Anything that is adjustable with a chair can be done with one of these. It's unfortunate that they are expensive and marked as "executive" chairs
but the chairs are a couple of notches above Aerons and the SteelCases in comfort and adjustability.

HoloLens provides a timestamp with every frame from each sensor, which can be used for sensor fusion outside of the system usage. Windows.Perception.PerceptionTimestamp can be used for either recorded data (e.g. camera) or for future predictions (e.g. predicted device position). The predicted latency is also used to adjust the render to ensure the viewer's perspective is correct even though the draw calls may be lagging slightly behind the viewer's position.

Agree with what you said. It is a complicated problem.

I do not look into other platforms. I look into my solutions: http i can write my business logic and that is mostly it. On messaging i have to think about threading, acknowledging, dead / poison letters, decoding, trace contexts, etc. And these is all non trivial code especially when done right.
One recent example - for some reason I had to find a bunch of RPM packages for i386 arch from RHEL/CentOS 5 era.

A new version of TrueNAS is in the works, it's called TrueNAS scale and it's going to be Linux-based (no more FreeBSD).

So this poor reliability is just rampant in the sound industry? Unless there is some reason why such a circuit is not feasible without, e.g., decreasing sound quality. Which is the kind of thing my original question is asking about.

Monadic IO, Uniqueness types (as in: Clean), voluntarily working in a pure subset until the End of the World (Scala), effect-first languages, etc. We can impose actual semantics upon an ultimately imperative computer. Is it restrictive? Yeah, but that's, like the point, man. Restricting what can happen allows us to reason about what might happen given a piece of 'random' code. In an imperative-only world, Capabilities serve a similar function.

The fact that the world is made up of elementary particles subject to the 'laws' of thermodynamics has very little impact on the semantics we choose for our programming languages. (If you want to take your appeal to 'nature' that far.)
What is the impact on quality of outcomes, and on waiting times? Saving money is not necessary the #1 goal. I'm saying this as a Canadian that is seeing the downside of our socialized healthcare system. Like all government run things, everyone gets the same mediocre service. This may be cheaper, and may be better for some (although I understand the US already has Medicare and Medicaid which would be equivalent). Overall it's not clear to me that quality of life overall is better under Medicare for all. But I have not lived it the other way so I don't know- I'm mainly reacting to cost savings being what's touted, rather than better overall outcomes.

> I wouldn't be surprised if the Dirty Harry genre themes of police struggling bravely against those who would hold them accountable

That is not the theme of Dirty Harry.

Callahan is fighting against a city overrun with crime, struggling against an inept, and in the other films in the series, corrupt, bureaucracy and police force. People forget that major American cities weren't the crime-free near-utopias they are now, or at least, were before COVID-19 hit. New York City was widely regarded as a bit of a shithole back then and in the early 80s.

The viewer is meant - and many did - to sympathize with Callahan as bends, and outright breaks, the rules in the pursuit of justice in a world where it all too often escapes the victims.
