I mean I'm a fan, but about 50% of MGS is being absolutely harangued, at inordinate length, by the codec characters smashing at the 4th wall with a sledgehammer.... so no it doesn't break the immersion when they give you control tips ;) but it isn't subtle and doesn't need to be.
There’s a decent case made on ep 258 of the Merge Conflict podcast that Apple released the IDE for iPadOS as Swift Platgrounds because if it had been named Xcode it would have missed expectations by far too much.

If Xcode on iPadOS doesn’t have parity with MacOs, people would be miserable. But by calling it SP, it can be like a nerfed Xcode and still good.
Hard to say what actually helped, but two high-impact low-cost behavioral changes I made (and stuck with) were a strict ketogenic diet and regular heavy exercise (mixture of cardio and weight training). Ketogenic diet has a lot going for it - besides being a nice elimination diet (in case your problem is some kind of dietary autoimmune condition or food allergy or something), it also treats a lot of possible metabolic conditions. Exercise as well. I’m sure resting (mentally) helped but I didn’t have much choice there - resting was the only activity I could really do, and even that I couldn’t do very well.
I work for a company where half the company consists of ML Developers. They match your definition. Your job is what we call ML Ops.

Kind of interested how you got hired to a completely different role though and how that didn't come up in the interview.
> That's my case, I'm learning before setting up a cheap home lab and a NAS, and I'm wondering if biting into ZFS is just the best option that I have given today's ecosystem.

ZFS is the simplest stack that you can learn IMHO. But if you want to learn all the moving parts of an operating system for (e.g.) professional development, then more complex may be more useful.

If you want to created a mirrored pair of disks in ZFS, you do: sudo zpool create mydata mirror /dev/sda /dev/sdb

In the old school fashion, you first partition with gdisk, then you use mdadm to create the mirroring, then (optionally) LVM to create volume management, then mkfs.
Mhmm, this is great! someone should do something like this to create a "Mario 35" clone: Create the game based in the original ROM and then setup a page with a "diff" file that people can use to recreate it if they have the original ROM and game.
Exactly, this is my complaint. The calculator app is SLOWER with this modern UI, and I gain little in terms of efficiency.
Dates are natural keys in a calendar table. The composite of the foreign key values is a natural key in a join table expressing a unique relationship between entities in two or more other tables, perhaps with additional attributes, even if those values are surrogate keys in their own tables.
Warning: controversial...

Getting uncomfortable after remaining stationary for 15 minutes is normal. Your body is telling you something - being stationary is the enemy. I think trying to optimize your chair is the wrong solution. Instead the answer is a diverse work environment you can move around in and continually adopt different postures! My favorite work environment is a carpeted floor which I can lie down on, crouch, sit up, work at a coffee table, or even pace around. Any one of those postures would probably get uncomfortable after a while, but I cycle through them too quickly. Admittedly this probably wouldn't work well for work involving huge amounts of typing, such as long form writing - but for the kind of programming and data exploration I do it's great! I've always been a fidget, and being able to fidget with my entire body feels like I'm finally embracing something I was always meant to be doing.

This working style has only become practical in the last decade or so, with the advent of very light computers with excellent battery life, and I don't think we've culturally caught up.
I think it depends on the company. In my experience most companies have it halfway between the things you described (some data engineering + some modeling). Companies with less established infra generally have more data engineering work.

Imo unless you are a rich company or have a well funded research arm, it mostly seems wasteful to make someone's job pure modeling.
I would recommend Taoism type thinking for this person because there needs to be acceptance that this reduced brain capacity (or call it brain rewiring) is the way, while possible and paradoxically trying to fix it at the same time.

If you are super switched on and rely on that smartness as part of your identity that’s gonna hurt when it’s diminished. And you switch from go getter to helped person.
Yeah, I have an Aeron chair i purchased in 2006. It is still great. It just recently started to misbehave a little when raising or lowering it (my spouse sits a bit higher in the chair) - still works, but is a little sticky. But this is the vimes boots theory of chairs (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/72745-the-reason-that-the-r...), and totally worth it if you can afford it.
> 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.

Job titles do not have consistent meaning across regions or industries. People use buzzwords and hype to recruit funding and talent.

You've learned an important lesson: use interviews to gather information about companies and teams. "Can you describe in broad strokes a typical project for this role?" is a perfectly reasonable question to ask a hiring manager.

Well a working fusion reactor would render any current power source obsolete anyway.

I wasn't necessarily thinking about complete self-sufficiency, just the fact that it might take up to 2½ years to get replacement parts.
It’s a bit of a misunderstanding of the role of doctors as well IMO. Apart from a small fraction of them they aren’t scientists or researchers and aren’t supposed to be. And the human body is complex, problems can arise which can’t easily be understood. The expectation that every doctor is House and we’ll each get millions of dollar of diagnostics is wrong. There’s also a reason why experiments in science require an awful lot of preparation and rigor that doesn’t exist in the happenstance of the real world. No AI is going to solve for a lack of information or confounding factors that make understanding what’s happened impossible.

I had a heart attack nearly six weeks ago despite being healthy, fit and having no chronic health issues. They kept me in hospital for five days after I got a clot squished by a stent. I’ve come back negative for basically everything bar some immune disorder tests I’m waiting on the results of. The fact I’ve not heard probably means those were negative as well. So I got this fatal blood clot and the medical staff absolutely knocked it out of the park in terms of working out what the acute issue was, dealing with it without undue distress (seriously a PCI is magic) and my care and rehabilitation afterwards has been great. But I’ll likely never know why it happened.

The other side of that is I end up on a standard cocktail of medication despite having a normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol and so on. Essentially the drug regime seems calibrated for the average heart attack patient which is someone older with chronic problems. I had a rash as a side effect and the doctors swapped a med and I’m fine again. How did they know what to change of the six meds? I guess experience and wider statistical analysis in the medical community. It worked!

Boring old water cooled reactors (both boiling and pressured) are comparatively dangerous compared to quite well tested lead-bismuth cooled small modular reactors, which not only loadable on train car as self-contained part that needs no internal access, but are self-sealing in case of failure.

Of course it's not as exotic as pebble bed reactor, or helium-cooled uranium-thorium reactor.
I can no longer sit at a desk. I use a cheap lapdesk while sitting in a Slumber rest chari manufactured by the CJ Streit Company in Ohio. This chair is a direct eveolution of the Morris chair and is perfect for sitting. I work about 12 hours a day from this chair with zero pain.
I also think "concluding that whole medical science can be replaced by an AI assistant" is far fetched. I hope that wasn't what you took away from my comment.
I could never find a good place or time to go try them out, so I just ordered a Steelcase Gesture from Amazon. It helped me get over the analysis paralysis, it's very comfortable, and I'm sitting in the chair while writing this.
yeah after a dot com bust a long time ago I got the aeron for something like 400 bucks and it's still basically the same quality it was then still and I use it all day work at home. if you amortize it out the quality per year is great 40 bucks a year so far with no real end in sight. I was buying a somewhat cheap staples chair every year or two and they were only really comfortable for a bit and were always too hot in summer months anyway.
YouTube is very convenient for hosting and sharing recordings of talks. You can't put a video recording in a mailing list or a paper journal, and journal/conference websites are generally not in the business of hosting video recordings.

Often it's much easier to understand another's research in the form of a presentation than a paper (papers give you the details but not necessarily the high level story), so, like it or not, YouTube is a significant scientific repository.
Remember that then, pre-jet-travel, the Philippines were very remote, and shipping including paper mail took weeks. It wouldn't have been an easy task to integrate into the USA, when looked at in 1946 or whenever.

As a former colony itself, the USA was somewhat anti-colonial in its diplomacy in the early 19th century, especially in regards to (pre-communist) China. Helping a former colony become an independent democracy would have been the more attractive option at the time.

It's likely true many things would be better for the people living there now, if the US had kept it. Not arguing. But those are the people who deserve to run it, for better or worse.

The US is free to make whatever agreements, treaties, etc. that both parties think make sense, just like US relations with any other country. When their interests align with those of the US, the US would be smart to encourage. When not, it's just not to be.
Well, consider that such documentation is often generated from comments.

> The textbook case would be student IDs in a university database where each row corresponds to a single student

“Student IDs” are an example of surrogate keys, though they may be surrogate keys in a system predating and outside of the DB.

(And if the mapping between them and actual students are managed by an error-prone process outside of the DB, they probably aren’t good primary keys for a table of students.)

How is it that we don’t have a toilet unit test runner of sorts yet?

Why can’t I pee and have my pee tested every time I use my toilet?
Hope it works out!
that's what I'm saying. Just training isn't enough the system has to be hardened.
Well it didn't belong to Spain either, which I imagine would still have it if the US had not "touched" it.
Active users have been exponentially climbing. The redesign is awful in comparison to what once was, but it's been incredibly successful as a vessel to make reddit into a Facebook replacement. Facebook users are a lot easier to profit off of than reddit users, and they're higher in volume.

There needs to be a name for comments that are so sociopathic and terrifying that I jump in my seat. HN seems to do this more than Reddit, which is also disturbing.
Preventing fraud when buying used stuff
There are many steps in the chain between a phish message and a ransomware attack - the user opening a phish is just one of them. You might prevent lateral movement afterwards, you may detect the attack in time (there often are days or even weeks between the phish and the ransom) to protect it, you might prevent the payload from reaching the user, etc. So yes, you're right, the solution is not just better backups but stepping up the whole security game - however that takes will, money and quite some time.
The utility of this turns on a question whose answer is not readily apparent from skimming the paper: is this something that can be implemented purely in software? Or does it require a hardware mod? Because if it's the former then it could be a game-changer. If the latter, not so much.
That's more of an acceptance test than a unit test.

That didn't stop physics, why should it stop CS?
No paradigm won, game is not over yet.
USAF, or specifically SAC, put priority on nuking as many civilian areas in as short amount of time as possible. Safety was a distant concern in that mindset, and led to fun stuff like first generation PADs (which controlled arming process of the warhead) being commonly (iirc, up to 50%?) configured to accept all zeroes as arming code.

USN at the same time considered PADs to be undue slowdown in the same mission and had enough power to just not have them mounted, afaik.
The Metaverse: A brave, new virtual world
What a fantastic comment, thank you. Currently sinking my teeth into the Diplomat article which looks to be chock full of even more useful links!
It's important to understand that this submission doesn't count as a dupe by HN's standards. On HN, reposts are fine after a year or so, and/or if an article hasn't had significant attention before (the latter isn't the case here, but often is). https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

People post links to past discussions are not because they're bad (look at all those reposts!) but because they're good (wow, interesting comments from the past!) - at least in the best case.

Because there's so much randomness in what gets noticed on /newest, overzealous dupe detection would prevent many good articles from ever getting discussed. That would be a poor trade for better deduplication! HN's dupe detector is therefore left porous on purpose (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), so good stories get multiple chances to get attention. We will probably implement karma sharing amongst the various submitters of an article, though, at least when it's a first-time discussion.
eCHO Podcast: eBPF for Windows with Dave Thaler from Microsoft
The standard business solution to solve security issues - for example like having all your database in a public folder - is to get a guy to implement "security" (whatever that means) who is 40 years old and is really confident he knows what he is doing. He will go configure some firewalls and stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with preventing any real risk aside from automated attacks. Every time someone still gets the files from some 90's vuln, everyone is surprised that some sooper dooper hacker wizard was able to own their fortune 500 company.

> The least deployed solutions post-attack included web scanning (40%), endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) technologies (38%), antivirus software (38%), mobile and SMS security solutions (36%), and managed security services provider (MSSP) or managed detection and response (MDR) provider (34%). Only 3% of respondents said they did not make any new security investments after a ransomware attack.

uh huh. uh huh. uh huh. uh huh.

Meanwhile, for example, earlier today: a web search for "cat /etc/passwd" blocks my IP. What even is the point of this article? _Of course_ if you don't patch they will just hack you again. _Of course_ if your company follows terrible 90's practices, it will get owned again.
If Google did that, we'd be better off with the Mozilla corporation taking over Chromium development than continuing to develop Gecko.

The erosion of interest in Firefox over the years raises a pretty basic question: if Google followed through with that scenario, how effective would Firefox be? They're got steamrolled in the last decade with massive amounts of funding (from Google).

Brave is literally showing that if someone wants to compete with Google, they're going to start with chromium as a base. Your argument is similar to "if someone wants to compete with Google, they need to be able to use Gecko/Webkit!". People with skin in the game are saying whatever the theoretical merits are to your argument, it is wrong. Gecko isn't part of the competitive equation any more.
Worth considering that shells might have builtins for things like kill, echo, test, time, and others. As an example, bash has its own builtin kill command and it isn't documented by the kill(1) man page.
I suspect it's impossible for social media to come up with a policy that allows discussion of Ivermectin, Remdesivir, and Hydroxychloroquine but doesn't also open the door to homeopathy, bleach, and anti-vax content. COVID is a life or death situation for some people and they deserve better than social media.
It has been longstanding policy of the project itself to take this stance. That doesn’t mean that every single community member follows our example, though, or that everyone involved is perfect. But we made a deliberate decision to try and avoid this as much as possible.

My understanding from reading an earlier explanation from JPL was that it appeared the issue wasn't so much from the missing frame itself but rather the software not being tolerant of the frame count being off.

IIRC, it seemed more like a missing test case or scenario in the software validation suite might have been the ultimate root cause.
A survey of Americans found only 10% more men said they would be comfortable with a bisexual partner.[1] And heterosexual men aren't more accepting of homosexuality or bisexuality generally.

The point is that software labor is infinitely replicable and the economy assumes labor is a continual process which can be taxed. If there's no labor to do then I'd imagine the people who plan the economy would want to invent some. Fact is that technologies like the Java crusade of the 90's or the Rust crusade we're seeing today create jobs. If it weren't for them we'd all be dusting off FORTRAN programs from the 1960's which got the job done.

Well, it does somewhat illustrate the vast number of historic recordings that national broadcasting companies like the BBC have decided not to make available to the public who paid for them to be produced in the first place.

It's the same, but much worse in Sweden - the national radio service here has imitated the BBC since its inception in the 1920s. It's much the same across Europe, I think.

Edit: Talking about radio/audio below.
It means that the people who know most about closed-loop vehicle control were not involved in the design of the copter. Such fragility is a really elementary design mistake any experienced engineer would not make. Certainly the vehicle that delivered the lander would not suffer from the same mistake.

My interpretion is that the copter, as an inessential system component, was seen as an opportunity for junior people to get some end-to-end experience. I hope they are learning the right things.
Here's your mistake: you're a couple of years late ;-)
I don't disagree, but even with some unconscious psychological bias, I still think I'd have had some back pain or _something_ creeping in by now after a year even if I was just fooling myself! Whereas all of my previous chairs would leave my body with some sort of noticeable fatigue after a few hours.

I'd liken it to Apple gear. Yes it is arguably overpriced objectively speaking, but it is still genuinely well made (although let's not mention butterfly keyboards...)
I fully agree with you mother, may she rest in peace.

I have been thinking as well, what if after passing away of a family member we plant their favorite fruit tree with them. After generations there will be a beautiful garden.

People usually laugh at this idea; maybe rightfully so, but there is something profound in it about feeding the plants and by proxy animals and fellow people who fed us.
> Any machine or black box that law enforcement can use either as pretext for doing whatever they want, or as something to point to to absolve themselves of responsibility, has value.

For close to ZFS feature parity but much younger, BTRFS.

Otherwise it's sort of figuring out what features you want to drop. XFS and ext4 are probably where I'd look for a single disk hard drive.

Like I said, you could do ZFS, but definitely feels a bit like overkill. Setting up a vdev with one disk just to get snapshots and checksums seems like a lot.
