If the value you're looking for is just 0 downtime, then k8s solves that for you. As others have pointed out, the BEAM/Elixir/Erlang give you great process isolation and resilience to small failures, timeouts, weird transient issues, big short lived spikes traffic, and stuff like that.

With respect to user data, a supervised process can crash and the supervisor can restart with the last known good state of that data. It requires some thought on the part of the developer to achieve this, but it's really powerful.
There's a lot of good content in this article focused on the media. The media is highly visible and well-documented, so it makes sense.

I'd like to see more content about indoctrination and propaganda happening in US education. This to me is much more insidious as it takes an impressionable populace (kids and young adults) and provides an authority figure (teachers and professors) that are largely hidden from public view and gives them a lot of room to provide whatever narrative they like about politics, history, or just about any subject.

The impact of shouting matches happening on cable news and Twitter seem like a rounding error compared to the decades-long indoctrination that happens during one's education.
May just be the codebase I'm on (only I've seen from Elixir) but good god there are like 15 hops from function to function before anything actually happens. It's got the same "OK, but where's the code that's doing the work?" problems of a bad (so: average) Rails codebase. Navigating this codebase has strengthened my stance of avoiding languages without static types, whenever possible. I'm beginning to consider them write-only absent heroic efforts & excellent processes.

It's not Phoenix, though, and like 95% of discussion about Elixir seems to assume you're using Phoenix, like how so much writing about Ruby assumes you're in Rails, but to an even stronger degree. So maybe that's the difference?

The phrase "inequality of opportunity" itself exacerbates the inequality. Saying that a group of people has not had equal access to the same opportunities as other groups is going to put that first group at a further disadvantage, particularly when looking for jobs or applying to schools.

Let's run a decade long experiment where we eliminate school rankings and make it illegal for students and alumni to mention to anyone at anytime which schools they attended.

There was no "healthy competition between msn and google".

There was no "healthy competition between Barnes & Noble and Amazon".

Sorry about that. I'm still working to expand it to more countries.
I use Brave on android and I was able to set it. I think you have to do a search (or possibly go to settings on the site? I forget) and THEN follow the steps to add it. I thought there was an issue for a while but then I managed to get it set just fine.
We are in a process of moving from a place without one to a place that has one. I can't wait to be able to use it.

Why the classification "mainstream" media? Is non mainstream media qualitatively different?
Harmonic intervals are interesting but they are also misunderstood. Humans are able to distinguish out of tune notes down to a value of about 1%. To get more accurate tuning we tend to listen for beating (a kind of amplitude modulation) instead. This means we can tolerate tuning systems other than just intonation.
Another thing to consider - the missing fundamental phenomenon suggests that the ear/brain is actually doing something like autocorrelation. This makes more sense than the idea that we have a template for the harmonic series wired in our brains. Finally auto correlation works for chords too, not just intervals. Every chord has a fundamental period of repetition - shorter periods are widely ranked as more consonant.
There are lots of grand music theories that fixate on the harmonic series. The maths is fun, but it can get in the way of more effective alternatives for organising sounds.
Congratulations, this looks a really nice release!

I'm wearing the Plotly t-shirt I got at PyCon UK years ago and it's started a few conversations. It's the best-fitting branded t-shirt I've had - if you have any left and want to send me another :)
Same, as I've been paid more and given more responsibilities, the more allowances have been given to me wrt how my work gets done, and a greater emphasis is placed on my comfort particularly over the long term. The way I've ended up modeling it is as power relationships. The same power relationship that lets an employer get away with paying someone minimum wage or close to it, also lets them figuratively crack the whip and literally destroy the bodies of these workers over the period they work. That power relationship is a much more predictive model IMO than value of work done if you have to pick one model (although economics is always an amalgamation of models in the real life and picking just one model to describe every situation is always a mistake).

Literally the hardest worker I've ever worked with was working for under minimum wage (Georgia at that time refused to enforce the federal minimum wage) until his boss lied to .gov to get that worker's refugee status revoked (saying to us later "you should thank me for getting rid of another mexican taking your jobs"). I think that worker is now in a prison in a Central American country (I want to say El Salvador?) on trumped up political charges that he was escaping. It's hard to get a better lesson that simply hard work is not enough to succeed in America.
Once you learn to spot it, you can never un-see it. It's damn near maddening to try to even describe this to someone who is unaware.

That obviously depends on what the change was. If the business of the company in question was predicated on selling services to the government and the law changes such that they no longer require the company's services, then no, that is not stealing from you. If the change in the law is that the company is henceforth required to provide service without payment then yes, absolutely, that is stealing from you.

The government doesn't owe you a particular market price, but when they interfere with your perfectly voluntary private business dealings (or just outright take your stuff for public use without just compensation, which is basically what happened here) that is a clear-cut example of theft.
The whole FIRE thing is a possibility for a very small portion of the population, in the top two, or maybe even just top income decile.
If React had bundled state management, it would have been bad, it would have run hard afoul of your second concern, would never have been deprecateable, it would have been an anchor they could never cut loose. React would have been doomed.

People keep wanting React to be more (like this whole post) but I feel like smart in the know people all recognize what an incredible boon it is that React targeted a specific problem, that it engaged the community to find & work through solutions to other orthogonal concerns. React has been free to evolve, and these other orthogonal concerns have been free to evolve & shake out.

At this point, there's a couple pretty stable, well known, well respected answers to any orthogonal concern. Switching between them is not that bad, they all have a deliberate architecture & practice you can move towards that makes internal sense. React doesn't care.

People's desire to make React care & intertwine it's concerns is really confounding & weird to me. But it's easy to blog about, it's easy to spread some dissent. It's harder to write a good paean for what a correct, amazing, better than everyone-elses-attempt this was by the React team.

I loved what the team did with Flux. They talked about it, made it sound simple as heck, then told us to go implement it ourselves. We had all sorts of goes & attempts before React released their state management system. We had independent thought, we had many ideas, where-as if Facebook had just dropped Flux right away, shortly after release of React, we'd all just be a bunch of sheep & never have seen other ideas or explored the notion. Having a healthy group diversity around ideas, to support technical ecosystems is so bloody important, and this post & the desire to see concerns all bundled with one another to make it easy & thought-free, to get everyone following the same easy-path, they just sounds so wrong & short-sighted to me. They ignore to me the most powerful aspect of mankind: what amazing explorers we are, how great our vision & ability to see.
My advice? Don't filter bubble. Instead, just write “disputed”, with a link that goes into detail as to what various people think, and why.

Yes I often suspect "eating x luxury leads to y health benefit" is a conflation of diet and wealth.

Perhaps it is, but keep in mind that the official count of infected is around 300.000, so 25% of that was detected by the app.

If the number of infections that were not detected are double the 300.000, then we are fast approaching 10% of all infections detected.

But anyway Denmark spend 60 times the budget for the app on testing each month in 2021, so it's pennies the app has cost.

But i still think it worthwhile to know what the taxpayers get for their money.
>The specific claim is that if the US is acknowledging these objects publicly as real

'Real' as in those are 'real' videos (i.e. not created in photoshop or after effects). Not 'real' as in 'advanced technology like nothing else on Earth'.

No. If you see some phenom and it's not X, not Y, not Z, you can't say THEREFORE it must be 'Aliens'.

The default position is 'I don't know', not 'aliens'.

This matches my experience as well. "hard work" isn't just the hours: it's also the mental and physical toll. White collar grinding is easy by comparison.

Yes. Did you read my comment?

They compare NN + Cocktail vs. vanilla XGB. They don't compare NN + Cocktail vs. XGB + Cocktail.

To make it crystal clear, if I wrote a paper "existing medicine A enhanced with novel method B is more effective than existing medicine C" and I did not include the control "C + B" (assuming if relevant, which is the case here), that'd be bad science. It's very much possible that novel method B is doing the heavy lifting and A isn't all that relevant. s/A/NN, s/B/Cocktail, s/C/XGBoost.
Plus, with nobody doing anything social or interacting with other humans, I've noticed far fewer people getting sick, or taking the occasional Friday off to get out of town at the last minute.
> Thus, understanding propaganda to guard yourself against it requires not only the use of sound and cogent logic and a set of facts, it requires being on guard against emotional responses.

This, I believe, is so important to living in the modern era of constant information and media consumption at our fingertips. Reading (or even participating in) arguments online is one thing I see a lot of. Tons of emotional responses with plenty of bias and assumptions being made. But those are pretty easy to avoid if you just don't get yourself involved and watch from the sidelines. Good arguments where both sides are participating in open discussion with facts, logic, and open minds are a pleasure. It's what drew me to HN years ago.

What isn't easy to avoid (at least for me), is the propaganda being regurgitated by those around me. One side of my family is very deep into conspiracy thinking. They have zero trust for the media, other than a single outlet which they listen and watch every day. When I see this side of the family, I listen to what they have to say, but they don't seem to have any taste for logic, facts, or reasoning. Open discussion is off the table unless it caters to what they want to hear or already believe. Any evidence to the contrary is dismissed and not believed. It seems to me like there is no way to get through to them, no way to open their minds, no way to propose viable alternatives to their thinking.

How does one go about opening the minds of those already deeply influenced by propaganda? I have their trust, they still come to me and voice their ideas, however farfetched they may seem. Even if they know I don't believe them, they still open discussion with me. But I cannot seem to find a way to engage in their arguments while involving reasoning.

p.s. This became a rant, but I do want to improve the communication between myself and this side of the family. I don't want to (and can't really) just cut them off, they are nice people that just happen to have some wild beliefs.

You can't just conclude this. It could be other things like a sensor glitches. Or sensor confusion (e.g. tracking a bird heading in the opposite direction, or out of focus commercial plane). Or it could be something else entirely you aren't creative enough to think of.

Hey HN!

When I saw that The Louvre released their collections online (https://collections.louvre.fr/en/), I thought it would be cool to make a 3D experience where you can view their paintings with other people. DJ3D is a previous side project of mine for people to watch YouTube videos together, but I adapted it to load paintings from The Louvre collection instead.

The gallery will randomly pull paintings from the entire collection. If the servers find other people online at the same time, it will match you with them. You might notice the paintings changing - this is so you see the same paintings as other people in your server.

Tech stack: three.js, React, Agones + Node, Firebase
My other projects: https://neelmango.com/

Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you have any questions. Also, sorry if the servers crash :D
The rules also provide a framework within which you can rule out some causal relationships. So they at least go some way to confirming which hypotheses can't be correct given the data.
Just need to turn on CNN or MSNBC right now for modern examples of propaganda.

Don't think they really care about left or right, they use politics as a vehicle to keep the masses divided and therefore under control. It also shifts focus away from the growing class gap and how the upper classes are hoarding wealth.
That's not possible. There are 7.5 bullion people in the world, so 1% is 75 million people. Ipso facto it's impossible for most people in the US to be the one percent because 170 million is more than 75 million.
I called out mainstream media, as people often assume it is more reliable than the non-mainstream media.
It's quantitatively different. Propaganda is most effective when its reach is maximized because having it appear in all mediums gives it the appearance of legitimacy.
1) I wonder how many landlords would have evicted but found their hands tied by the government. I mean, who was going to move in?

2) You call this notion of a landlord as a mega-tycoon juvenile but then present the equally juvenile (in my opinion) idea that land lords are just old Grandma with 1 or 2 extra properties she rents out.

1 or 2 extra properties? Wow, grandma. Must be nice.

And I think the data will show that the trend in landlords is in fact toward mega-tycoons. (Sort of like the trend in farming that used to be old Grandpa with 1 or 2 acres.)
I've seen people say stuff like this before. Do you actually not realize there have been cross platform GUI libraries for the last thirty years?
I wonder how Snowden reconciles his position on self-censorship with his current country of residence. Is it meta, in the sense that he too has to self-censor out of fear for own life?

> Terminals aren’t using more resources

Right as I type this, gnome-terminal has 68MB allocated, of which 57MB is resident. My scrollback buffers are limited to 4096 lines and I have 7 tabs open, four of which are sitting on a bash prompt doing nothing. By ANY measure, this is absolutely insane.

> you don’t understand web browser allocation strategies

You may have missed my point. Rendering TEXT with a library intended to render gmail.com and facebook.com is a ludicrous extravagance.

> As long as there is free memory in the system, it’s fair game

This is my favorite argument. Just buy more ram, bro. CPUs are super smart bro, caches are magical and you'll always get a hit no matter how much you allocate or how fragmented your heap gets. YOLO.

Building software as if DDR4 is just as close to the ALU as L2, that our L2 is fully-associative, that branch prediction and cache hits on vtable dispatch is perfect, then spraying huge numbers of small objects all over the heap, and declaring that all you need to do is buy more RAM, and that halting your application for 6 MMU wait states every dozen cycles is perfectly acceptable.

Yes, waiting 20 billion cycles on an amdahl-adjusted basis to move a scrollbar is definitely the future.
Yev here -> It's actually changed over the years, but it's always been iterative and incremental changes - but that was one of the things we discussed!
Do private schools not have propaganda?

Student have over a dozen teachers over the course of education. If they "provide whatever narrative they like " it seems students would get a diverse range of perspectives. Not to mention all the perspectives they get from other authorities like their churches, clubs, family members, and... every adult they encounter, and every book too.
