> An honest question - whose progress? Whose development? Do workers benefit by turning that screw at 5:01?

Companies provide service to society. They don't exist in a vacuum. Hence it'd be good if workers are aware of the big picture and don't just stubbornly antagonize their own employers, as if they're in a battle against one another, rather than in cooperation.

In Japan when Fukushima blew out, old employees where there to contain the disaster. Do you think they did it for their personal benefit? How far would we go as a society if we're complete egoists? Not that far.
Don’t forget that it’s not just a free lunch. Your tax dollars are paying for the $10,000 checks in this scenario. So not only would you be not benefiting, you’d also be paying and not benefiting.

Idk if that changes anything but I think it’s worth pointing out.
Would it be reasonable to compete in three categories: cismen, ciswomen, and others? The others category would have relaxed doping rules wrt hormones. Or is this too naive a solution?
To me that is asking like why don't I go outside and kick a tree. If I don't kick every tree do I have ADHD?

My point being is that there is absolutely no reason to be a video game completionist.
Slightly offtopic, but the word "meaningful", present in the first sentence of the article, has seen a massive growth in use in last months. Suddenly I see it everywhere. Politics, economics, personal anecdotes, programming.

Not just clothes can be fashionable; vocabulary, too.
Drones can be economical for smaller areas, such as villages as mentioned in the article. For larger areas spanning hundreds of square km/miles, small UAVs won't do. Long range fixed wing UAVs or regular planes equipped with hi-res cameras or even satellite imagery are more suited. In the end it's a question of which approach is more fit-for-purpose, given the requirements and constraints.

In a country like India, cloud coverage during the rainy season can last for months, rendering satellites (unless you use something like SAR with false color composites) effectively unusable. Drones may not be able to fly during periods of rainfall, but can still be operated in daylight during breaks in weather.

I'm not talking about what happened after.. I'm talking about WHO literally not recommending to wear masks unless you're sick or caring for someone sick.

Back then, people who were wearking masks were marked as "stupid conspiracy theorists" and fearmongerers. Then, suddenly the mask mandates came in, and people not wearing the masks were "stupid conspiracy theorists".

example still online: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/30/world/coronavirus-who-mas...

> "There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, said at a media briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.
I like my regular old organic paper just fine, thanks. Sure, writing with ancient mechanical tools lacks modern computational technology, but that's kind of the point.

Unconnected from the rest of the world, my writing exists only as a conduit from me to the page.

If I want to refine that and digitize it, I can then hand-type it into a digital medium, which acts to reinforce in my brain what I wrote and allow me a bonus editing pass.

Interestingly, the dangers of reference invalidation is actually one of the reasons why auto doesn't deduce references by default:

vector<int> v = {42};
...

auto x = v[0]
v.clear();

// if x was deduced as reference, using x at this point
// would be UB

While it's hard to draw a precise line, there's a clear difference between having some genetic features that give you an advantage, and having most genetic features that give you an advantage.

Growing up under the influence of male genetics and hormones gives an individual a massive advantage in such a sport, that simply cannot be compensated for or against with just training or medical solutions. There's nothing that will take that edge away from such an individual because human intervention later in life can't entirely undo the course nature took when building that body.

The evidence is in the performance which falls squarely in line with male performance [0].

And to everyone thinking of a parallel with motorsports and whatnot, there is none. Those sports rely on technology developed by humans so anything is entirely reproducible and reversible. Nature on the other hand still does things that we don't understand, can't reproduce, or can't fully compensate for. We have no way to change the gender with all the associated factors so we focus on the critical and obvious ones like physical look and hormonal balance, which get a person 95% there. But when it comes to peak performance the 5% makes a difference and it's clearly an unfair one to every other participant.

Yeah our cat's big meal is in the morning , I randomly change around when in my morning routine I feed them so they don't assume that just cos I'm up and about they'll be getting fed. It helped with them making noises at the door as soon as my alarm goes off in the morning (we kick them out if they're annoying at night).

Otherwise they'd assume every time I open the door to go to the toilet or whatever is meal time.
Yes, if you opt out you are fucked in the long run. It's use force on others so that you can live in peace, join them because you believe, or join them and just lie. There is no moderate option in a globalised internetworked world.
I've read the book on ada language recently and it looked interesting, but the developer experience is a mess. IDE that' s provided got kicked out from ubuntu repositories due to complicated build process. Language server is there, but there is not much documentation in the wild and the community is quite small and the whole situation with gpl compiler affecting compiled programs is poisoning.

I think ada as a language is in a very similar place to common lisp - there are few commercial vendors (one in case of ada) that sell compiler(s) and support to companies with a lot of existing code, but not much new stuff happening apart from few enthusiasts.

=It's just my anecdotal experience tough.
Indian pale ale?

Seems like this has upset some people.

First hit on Google is for India Pale Ales.

I always heard the phonetic alphabet referred to as the NATO phonetic alphabet. It doesn't seem very international given that it is entirely in English.

Also Russia has its own version

So IPA is a bit of a misnomer I feel.
The article is perfectly reasonable. But the comments make me wish HN had subreddits.

FWIW I believe that the parent was pedantic but correct.

You can delete your whole Linux installation with a single dd command.

As I said, this is a matter of philosophy.
These concepts are roughly similar conceptually, but have very different implementations and usecases.

The common idea is: there is a current (possibly wrong) state of the world, and there is a desired state.

Let the system use control feedback to automatically bring itself into a desired state.

i.e.

the current state: I have 3 workers.
the desired state: I want 5 workers.

Now on top of that add an hierarchy or workers.

K8s has a predefined workers topology: deployment -> replica set -> pod -> container. Which uses a small number of patterns (service, StatefullSet, etc.)

While Erlang/OTP allows arbitrary supervision trees composed out of several primitives: one-for-one, one-for-all, etc.

Both have a concept of a cluster composed out of nodes.

K8s does this on the [micro]services level, while Erlang/OTP does it on the clustered monolith level.

K8s has a coarse-grained scheduler, while BEAM has fine-grained.
There is little difference between anyone who aligns with any political faction in the west and Nazis because incompatible worldviews, conclusions from the same evidence, desires for material prosperity, etc cannot coexist and can only be resolved with force.

Spaying/neutering should be the default option, unless you have a specific wish to breed your cats, and then you should have a plan for it and do so responsibly.

TIL about BunnyCDN. I had been paying $0.08 per GB on AWS Cloudfront whereas BunnyCDN is only $0.01 per GB. Can you comment on you experience with them ? Are the APIs comprehensive e.g. cache invalidation ? do they support cookie base authorization ? Any support Geo-Fencing?
That's basically all of them though? I think the single most important qualification for being a law enforcement or correctional officer should be not wanting to be a law enforcement or correctional officer.

Thanks for accusing me of dishonesty.

The OP talked about overfishing. You said they were referring to hunting for sport. Overfishing is relevant to commercial fishing, wich is practiced not for sport, but for food.

So it really doesn't look like the OP and you were talking about the same thing and I can't see that you should expect me to automatically understand what you meant when the OP said "over-fishing" and you said "hunting for sport". If you meant "hunting under water for sport" you should have said that more clearly, because it's not the first thing that springs to mind when someone speaks of "over-fishing".

Edit: here's the relevant quotes from earlier comments.

OP: "Humans will over-fish and dump shit all over the place killing marine life and filling oceans with oil."

You: "The OP was referring to hunting for sport (and other similar excesses)[0]."

Can you see why it's not immediately obvious why you think you're talking about the same thing as the OP?

Also, can you see why these discussions get derailed so easily? The OP said one thing and then you joined the conversation to explain what you thought the OP meant. But how could you know what the OP meant any better than me, when neither of us is the OP? If there are different interpretations to what the OP said, then your guess of what they really meant is as good as mine. So when you insist that, no, your interpretation is correct, and here's what they really meant, even if they used different words (words that may be stretched to mean what you want to say they meant "literally", like "fishing = hunting undewater") there is inevitable confusion and the discussion is derailed.

Why not just let the OP respond to my comment, if they think they should? And what exactly do you think we have both achieved here, with all this back-and-forth about exactly how much animals or humans kill and why? We have just both wasted each other's time. You're happy with that?

That's a strange way to talk about carpet bombing and chemical weapons. Besides, the US lost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Saigon

"The Vietnamese government officially calls it the "Day of liberating the South for national reunification" (Vietnamese: Giải phóng miền Nam, thống nhất đất nước) or "Liberation Day" (Ngày Giải Phóng)"

Stricks, experimental managed C-strings library
Oil is often singled out and important not because the US is dependent on Saudi oil but also because it depends on the Saudi's not dumping oil and undercutting the prices of US producers (and thus bankrupting them). But, I'd say it's more complicated than that and also is related to trillions of dollars in trade, military funding, contracting, etc across the region.

The Saudi's are a very loyal supporter of US policy for all of that and their country is very strategically located in the region and a big reason why the US has been able to exert power there for so long. E.g. Saudi support was crucial for both Gulf wars, the Sudan invasion, and more recently the conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, etc.

Being able to park some aircraft carriers off the coast of Saudi Arabia is also helpful when it comes to controlling the Iranians of course. That's technically a long series of proxy wars but of course the US has been battling with them ever since the Iranian revolution all over the region in a long series of proxy wars that usually also involve the Saudis. Ugly but very profitable.

So, oil, money, and strategic value basically. You could pass some moral judgement on that but in the end most wars are about economic interests. And the interests of the US are worth trillions of dollars.

Dejan here from bunny.net. I was reading some of the comments, but wasn't sure where to reply, so I guess I'll post some additional details here. I tried to keep the blog post somewhat technical, but not overwhelm non-technical readers.

So to add some details, we already use multiple deployment groups (one for each DNS cluster). We always deploy each cluster separately to make sure we're not doing something destructive. Unfortunately this deployment went to a system that we believed was not a critical part of infrastructure (oh look how wrong we were) and was not made redundant, since the rest of the code was supposed to handle it gracefully in case this whole system was offline or broken.

It was not my intention to blame the library, obviously this was our own fault, but I must admit we did not expect a stack overflow out of it, which completely obliterated all of the servers immediately when the "non-critical" component got corrupted.

This piece of data is highly dynamic and processes every 30 seconds or so based on hundreds of thousands of metrics. Running a checksum did nothing good here, because the distributed file was perfectly fine. The issue happened when it was being generated, not distributed.

Now for the DNS itself, which is a critical part of our infrastructure.

We of course operate a staging environment with both automated testing and manual testing before things go live.

We also operate multiple deployment groups so separate clusters are deployed first, before others go live, so we can catch issues.

We do the same for the CDN and always use canary testing if possible. We unfortunately never assumed this piece of software could cause all the DNS servers to stack overflow.

Obviously, I mentioned, we are not perfect, but we are trying to improve on what happened. The biggest flaws we discovered were the reliance on our own infrastructure to handle our own infrastructure deployments.

We have code versioning and CI in place as well as the options to do rollbacks as needed. If the issue happened under normal circumstances, we would have the ability to roll back all the software instantly, and maybe experience a 2-5 minute downtime. Instead, we brought down the whole system like dominos because it all relied on each other.

Migrating deployment services to third-party solutions is therefore our biggest fix at this point.

The reason we are moving away from BinaryPack is because it simply wasn't really providing that much benefit. It was helpful, but it wasn't having a significant impact on the overall behavior, so we would rather stick with something that worked fine for years without issues. As a small team, we don't have the time or resources to spend improving it at this point.

I'm somewhat exhausted after yesterday, so I hope this is not super unstructured, but I hope that answers some questions and doesn't create more of them :)

If I missed any suggestions or something that was unclear, please let me know. We're actively trying to improve all the processes to avoid similar situations in the future.
The problem is that structures are implicitly (and trivially) copyable in C and requiring adding an explicit copy constructor would break interoperability. It would also break trivial copiability which is a different issue.

So, yes, backward compatibility and historical baggage.

Note that if you use explicit wrappers for all object-owning pointers you would get either the right behavior or a compilation error.

No of course there are places in the real world where women will talk to you. I too have been to parties. Lol

But even in a social setting where there is opportunity for co-mingling, men generally still have to be the ones who "make the move" right? At least in my experience. Start the conversation, feel out the situation, ask for the phone number if things seem to be going well. That's a male-driven process that takes some calibrated effort (be charming without overdoing it, try without appearing to try, etc). At any party I've been to, I've never had success with women by just waiting in the corner for them to find me.

What I'm saying is the apps provide a much easier, more available way for men to do the pursuit work. That's why I think men swarm to them in greater numbers than women.

Now, if you're the kind of guy that sorta just shows up and suddenly women are handing you their phone number, congrats. You do not have the challenges the rest of us plebs have to deal with.

well, the tweet mentions explicitly XPS-15 9500.
As 9510 is mainly a refresh of 9500 (Intel Gen10->Gen11 platform), with the same keyboard, I would expect the same issue to be there as well...
I upgraded from a XPS-13 9350 to a new Gen11 9310, just to find that Fn+Left/Right has no effect and Home/End buttons are now on Fn+F11/F12 (which is pretty much useless at least in my coding workflow...).

I don't literally think all liberal fundamentalists or lgbt people, for example, should die, but I do think organising around that as a heuristic principle for action would be better for the future, myself and for society.

This is a direct result of having previvous liberal adjacent beliefs eroded and destroyed by constantly being around people who believe them, being 3xpos3d to the arguments for them, the data for them, etc - none of it is convincing to me at all and I am shocked how I took it all on faith as a child and teen.

Contact with liberal and liberal adjacent groups has also shown me in personal experience that the stereotypes are often true, and they are truely awful vile hateful people if they do not think you are one of them.

I would not be able to, on moral grounds, oppose large swathes of my country being literally exterminated because I no longer have any faith that they are not an existential threat. I really don't know how to fix this situation.
