There are other types of schooling which are more tailored to the individual. You won’t find them in a public school though, with one teacher schooling 25-30 kids. It’s just not possible to cater to every individual‘s needs in that context.

The only way to get more individual schooling is to have well-off parents who send you to a school with smaller classes, and ideally with a more relaxed schedule, like Montessori (I personally find them a little cult-like, there are other approaches too). Or, get born in Finland or Sweden, they invest heavily into their public education system, and it shows.
Please see posts above and elsewhere in the thread.

Services are advertised regardless of what’s in the App Bar.

Shows are advertised on services that aren’t even installed, even if they’re on Netflix and Netflix is installed.

Movies that are on Netflix are shown as iTunes rentals for additional fees, with no message to the user that they can watch it on Netflix.

I asked if you know of a toggle to switch these of, I’ve been unable to find anything to suggest such an option exists either on my device or via Google.

I like a lot of what they make, but tvOS is just bad in it’s current state.

I do use 1000^n, but I agree that most people tend to use 1024^n. 1000^n kind of makes more sense since "kilo, mega" etc. are the actual SI prefixes for multiples of 1000s. I don't know who or what caused this chaos but 1000^n is definitely more human friendly.

It depends on your level of lactose intolerance. I have a family member who is lactose intolerant, but can eat aged, hard cheeses.

An aged, hard cheese will have much lower levels of lactose than a fresh, soft cheese, to the point where it virtually disappears.
Were you the manager of the developer you asked? As your role could change the answer.
As far as I know there's nothing in this article that is "wrong", it's just that ultimately when networks support multiple technologies they can choose where to allocate the available bandwidth, and where not to allocate it, and they usually favor whatever is newest.
The only explanation I have that makes any sense is that it is a very Application Developer solution to a System Administration that hasn't matured it's abstractions and is now trapped in Tech Debt purgatory.
Even assuming everything else is equal infrastructure-wise, that's not true. The allocations on older techs will shrink, but so will the number of users. The speed you get could be slower but it could also be faster.
Well, there's channel bonding, and wider channels, and a ton of stuff happening in the later standards (AX, 6) that I'm not up to date on, but...

I'm pretty sure they get away with cramming more onto 5 largely because of the reduced noise.

This makes little sense.

Sure, maybe alcohol was invented first in China (that's the earliest we have found anyway).

But we have found usage in ancient Persia from less than 2000 years after China. If this gene is highly selective, why wasn't it also equally selective outside East Asia?

A more likely explanation is that it is a random variation and provides little to no evolutionary benefit.
In some sense, that particular Goldman process was implementing those modern processes before modern tools were invented.

I'd say they were ahead of their time for perhaps five to ten years, but then fell behind.

One thing I think missing from this article is a discussion on range.

The important thing to note with all EM-based communication tech is that the range decreases as the bandwidth increases, due to the inversely proportional nature of wavelength and frequency.

So it's all trade-offs. 5G requires a lot of buildout, as its range is something like 1000 feet, whereas 4g is something like 50,000ft. Said another way, we could've started with 5G before doing 3g/4g etc, it just would not have made economic sense before everyone had a smartphone that they wanted to stream HD videos on which justifies building out a network that needs a tower every 2000ft.
These are beautiful. Thank you
You know, the only thing I actually care about is WPA 3. This stuff is fast enough. I mean yeah, it could be faster, more users, etc.

Hey there!

Thanks very much, I appreciate the kind words. Right now, we're in early access where we're partnering with companies for feedback on the product so we can make something that people love.

As such, our pricing is pretty simple — we charge based on the number of Slack users in your workspace, and put you in a bucket. For some companies, that doesn't work as well (e.g. if 95% of your company is customer support agents that would never use the tool), and we change it as appropriate. Basically, we'd rather optimise for feedback and love than for revenue at this point :)

It sounds like a move made out of desperation. But personally I don't see them surviving the online marketplace long-term. At least in a mall your competition is limited to the local stores. Online, it's everyone. Want to offer cheap clothing? You are competing with everyone from H&M to Amazon Essentials (https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/F8FB6F3C-F896-455C-BC52-7...). Want to offer slightly better quality at slightly higher prices? Congratulations, you're now going to face off against Uniqlo (https://www.uniqlo.com). Want to go higher? Then you need quality and brand power, which are hard to recover once you go for cheaper fast fashion the way Gap has. I struggle to identify a competitive advantage for Gap.
Somebody had downvoted you, not the article. I wanted to know what they had against your point :)

The principle of parsimony applies here. Explanations that don't require centralized bronze age kingdoms everywhere, formal standardization of weights, and thousands of years of no one conducting long distance trade are more parsimonious than those that do.

One of the issues with archaeology is that it's easy to come up with thousands of plausible explanations for any particular set of data. Parsimony and other tools are essential to winnowing things down a bit.
Some of it is acclimation. You do learn to tolerate the heat better. I am always drenched in sweat the first really hot days of the summer which gets better. But high heat which approaches the wet bulb temperature is just stressful on the body. Subject a person with moderate heart failure or kidney problems to such conditions and they may do badly. In normally very hot climates, the health burden of that is spread out over time, year after year, not bunched up all at once.
I think that the contradiction here comes from the fact that these tools that are suited for large scale operations, like Kubernetes, end up getting standartized and adopted even by smaller corporations, which have neither the specialists, nor the resources to utilize them properly. Be it because of FOMO (fear of missing out), CV driven development or something else entirely, but i've seen this a number of times in the industry and it's always gone poorly. Instead of relatively quick deployments with Docker Swarm, Hashicorp Nomad, Docker Compose or anything of the sort, it suddenly becomes an uphill battle of trying to administer the darn cluster, as opposed to just being able to develop software, even with turnkey solutions like Rancher ( https://rancher.com/ which is great, by the way), especially if the company has only recently adopted Kubernetes.

In contrast, i think that Docker Swarm does a much better job at smaller scales, because:

- it uses way less resources than Kubernetes (which matters on smaller nodes)
- it is included in the install of Docker and therefore is easy to launch
- it supports the Compose format, which is often used for development with Docker Compose
- it is relatively simple, yet handles most of the concerns of smaller scale projects (i.e. excluding things like autoscaling or CRDs)
- there are solutions to manage it with web interfaces as well, like Portainer, if necessary ( https://www.portainer.io/ )

Or, if you need Kubernetes in a non-managed format, i'd suggest that anyone take a look at projects like K3s ( https://k3s.io/ ), which attempt to cut out all of the unnecessary components and features of Kubernetes, that most people won't use.

In my opinion, going with Kubernetes as a whole or even full Kubernetes distros (or building your own clusters for prod) is akin to choosing Apache Kafka because you want to build an event driven system, and then needing to throw a team at the thing to actually keep it running smoothly, instead of just choosing something simpler, like RabbitMQ or ZeroMQ.

I'd argue that most companies out there don't even have "SRE jobs", but instead it's a duty that gets thrown upon regular devs who also need to deliver features. It's probably easy to overestimate how capable most companies out there are in regards to throwing resources at problems to make them disappear, mostly due to a lack of said resources.
So not only is there a 9/11 conspiracy, there's also a conspiracy to suppress and frame anyone who's coming forward over the next 20 years.

As the conspiracy theory gets more and more complicated like this, it also gets more and more implausible.
> it's difficult for a designer to design something as complex as the designer themselves

AlphaGo ... hello? It beat its creators at Go, and a few months later the top players. I don't think supervised learning can ever surpass its creators in generalization capability, but RL can.

The key ingredient is learning in an environment, which is like a "dynamic dataset". Humans discovered science the same way - hypothesis, experiment, conclusion, rinse and repeat, all possible because we had access to the physical environment in all its glory.

It's like the difference between reading all books about swimming (supervised) and having a pool (RL). You learn to actually swim from the water, not the book.

A coding agent's environment is a compiler + cpu, pretty cheap and fast compared to robotics which require expensive hardware and dialogue agents which can't be evaluated outside their training data without humans in the loop. So I have high hopes for its future.
Eh, the crux of the article doesn't really rely on said hypothesis so I don't think the author was really trying to pull a fast one on anyone.

Right, Python 3 looks like it's UTF-8, but CPython has that weird 1, 2 or 4 byte representation. PyPy, though, finally went UTF-8. Not sure how they do indexing.

Launch HN: BulletLog logging platform for small engineering teams
Hello Everybody,

I am the co-founder of Bulletlog, logging and alerting system.

We built Bulletlog after realising the maintainence for logging systems like ELK or Instrumentation using Datadog is a headache for small engineering teams in terms of developer and infra resources.

We support 5 frameworks as of now Django, Flask, Express, Rails and Spring

The integration is seamless and takes 5 minutes atmost.

We intercept all your log data and exceptions.

You can search for your logs and add custom log messages.

You can configure alerts and receive notifications on Slack and Email.

Small teams with low usage can use the free developer version and as they grow expectation is we grow with them too.

What do you use at work ? Is this something you would want to use? sharing the link here https://www.regiment.tech/bulletlog

Is there something we can add to make the product more adoptable
link seems to be down

slashdot(hn) effect at work ?

I agree with most of what you described but I don't think scientific method should be put together with religion. I think they are orthogonal. For example, the scientists' religion don't really alter the research if they strictly follow the scientific method. In other words what they think won't alter the reality. And imo the most important part is the process of proving itself, rather than the result. Therefore it's perfectly fine to arrive at various conclusions and sometimes 'I don't know' is the best conclusion u can have so far. You don't really have to believe in anything with scientific framework, instead you do best to approximate and emphasize on the process rather than the result. Otherwise it's just magical thinking.
I would have summarized as "attempt to justify authoritarianism via pseudoscientific just so stories."
It was no strategic error. They just took the money and told the users to FO. The strategic error was having a board of directors taking decisions about a browser.
Well patents were designed so that you give away your "recipe" in exchange for a limited time monopoly. Clearly that is still a valid use case, but it seems that with patent trolls, patents are getting misused.

Software patents should 100% be abolished - for the same reason that mathematical formulas are not patentable.
It's an absolute miracle the mafia ever got off the ground!
Note that the patent bar exam tests you on knowledge of rules and regulations of the patent office and of the Patent Cooperation Treaty that many countries have signed on to. So you won't necessarily learn to draft a patent or how to read a patent just by studying materials for the patent bar exam.
Different operating systems prefer one way or the other, or a mix. MacOS uses powers of 1000, most Linux desktop environments use the correct symbol (1000 and kB, or 1024 and kiB etc), but Unix tools tend to use 1024 and "K". I believe Windows uses the non-standard symbol.

I much prefer to work with powers of 1000. Running "df" on our storage cluster shows

2675230000214900

Although, since my terminal has this font [1] installed, it actually displays like this, with the 2 underlined:

It's easier to think about 2.6PB than 2.3PiB (how many 200GB files do I have space for, etc).

While you are right in principle, right now Lytton is not just experiencing record temperatures, it's experiencing temperatures 5 C higher than anything encountered in the last 100-150 years (highest peak known before was 44.4C in 1941, 29 June 2021 was 49.6C):

Edit: corrected values to use the previous record for Lytton instead of the previous record for all of Canada.

Because: 32 bit, accessing features which have been removed and decrease value of products (search for target display mode via cable in iMacs pre 2014/2015 I think)...

Also there is privacy concerns because of the new telemetry (I don't know exactly but I read they are sending your app binaries to some signing servers).

Also there is products that still work great for specific tasks and why on earth would I pay a s... load of money to get a shiny new product when an old one from the dumpster will do?

I will never understand this attitude of many folks towards the waste of the resources of our mother earth. (Yes I know you look really cool with the new watch, pad, phone and pods and maybe you need it but I sincerely hope not).
> 5G requires a lot of buildout, as its range is something like 1000 feet

Only part of 5G has the high frequencies with short range. As the article highlights, there are also frequencies similar to 4G, meaning that it's entirely feasible to build a 5G network in the same time frame.
Has anyone tried that for these particular genes?
Tree Equity Score: tree cover in the US is too often a map of race and income
> the number of hot days and average maximum temperature in the US has dropped sharply in the last century

A reference would increase confidence in these assertions. But even so, it’s irrelevant because:

> But I'm sure you're right and the sun has fuck all to do with earth's temperature.

Solar activity hasn’t been increasing massively over the last century, whilst average temperatures did.

And: “the US” is not “the world”.
Slightly related: I'm always off-put by American arrogance. North American talk and behave like only they have some universal source of truth, like someone gave them the right to decide what's right and what's wrong.

Especially annoying when Americans talk about the rest of the world. E.g. when I read or hear what Americans think they know about history or culture or current events in my country (Russia), it makes my hair stand, because most of the time it's complete bullshit, stupid stereotypes and exaggeration. All generations at least in the last 100 years read from the early years only highly intensive rusophobic propaganda (even when it came directly from Russians, like famous liar Solzhenitsyn). And reading western media, especially social networks (reddit /r/worldnews, for example) I can only see that it intensifies and becomes more and more aggressive and absurd.

Also, Americans are highly intolerant to other cultures, despite all the PC craziness.

Just a few weeks ago I read that some reader of HN wants to see Disneyland in Iraq. This is so awful. Americans came and destroyed the culture that was several times older than theirs to create fake Disneyland in its place... They would want to put their awful Disneylands everywhere because consider all other nations and cultures inferior.

I continue to read few sources in English and mostly look at it with disgust because of the arrogance, ignorance and extreme aggressiveness of Americans.
I presume you’re talking about Han unification?

It’s true that sometimes you may need language annotations, which will sometimes also need to be applied to substrings. I don’t think that invalidates my claim that rigid UTF-8 allows you to have sanity, though I will tweak it to state that using UTF-8 is a necessary but not always sufficient condition.
Phones are so different.

I've recently had two 5G phones, a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G and a Realme GT. The Xiaomi could do 20-30mbit/s (slower than my 4G OnePlus 6T at 35mbit/s), while the Realme GT is around 250-280mbit/s. I've kept the Realme.
This is meaningless without explaining the contention issue wrt. radio and the different strategies the later standards have for handling that. 5G is a range of tech, most of which has not come to market yet (mmwave, full on MIMO) the network core standards are very helpful for telcos - but the way that modern antenna can be made to behave does change what the tech can do in busy cells, but it doesn't change physics!
Yes, these sorts of things happen in that region. And that is the mechanism causing it. But it typically means highs of like 35 or 38 and maybe one day going up to 40. (Temperatures like that would normally be considered very hot.) Day after day over 45 is a shocking idea to me as a Canadian, let alone a record high of 49.6. Been all over the country and I've never experienced hotter than 40 °C myself, and briefly.
I feel like the body of the article doesn't fit the headline. Given the flat deck of the swimming pool area, pictures of exposed/corroded rebar in the basement, and so on, I think what it will change is how building codes and maintenance are enforced, if anything. For instance we might see states impose controls to ensure private owner associations (like condo boards) can't ignore life-threatening problems. We may also see some changes regarding where buildings can be built or what degree of over-engineering is needed, given that there may be environmental peculiarities here like a settling coastline area (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/27/us/miami-building-investi...). But as yet, it isn't clear that there is going to be some kind of fundamental new learning in construction engineering that will alter how we build buildings.
Its really not that easy to build teams in dramatically different geographic locations. Ignoring all the legal waters you have to navigate you typically slow down output while your management complexity explodes. Not saying it can't be done. Just that in my experience it typically doesn't have the effect people initially think it will.
> No one will probably remember us the way they’ll remember pg.

The older I get, the more the whole "legacy"/impact issue seems overhyped; pg (and everyone alive today) is not going to be remembered for long either; perhaps 2 more generations, and it's a wrap. No one is remembered forever. That thought keeps me rooted firmly in the present and on the immediate impact I can have.

I have never been into poetry, but both versions of Ozymandias (Shelley's[1] and Smith's[2]) deeply resonated with me. I wholly agree with you, your impact, and your legacy, is with the people around you, in the here and now.

> with microtone tuning you reach a point where people will hear beats instead of distinct tones)

That's a fantastic notion. Music consists of rhythm melody and harmony. Harmony is created by relations of frequencies. But Rhythm itself IS a frequency, and there can be several overlapping rhythms in a piece of music. Melodic steps are also ratios between frequencies, but pieces of melody also repeat in a piece of music. So its all about frequencies and frequency of changing the frequencies. Something like that. The simple point is that rhythm is a frequency. A note is a frequency.
You should see what we do in Alberta when a town is under threat. Forestry sprinklers all over, town goes into fire smart mode, all brush cleared and so on. We learned a lot when slave lake and Fort mac burned.
Looks like the move from 3G to 4G also meant going from "real speeds are 1/5th of theoretical max" to "real speeds are 1/10th of theoretical max". I wonder if that's due to congestion at the phone-to-tower level, congestion at the tower-to-internet level, or due to newer wireless tech just having higher peak performance at optimal physical conditions (e.g. line of sight) that are becoming increasingly hard to actually accomplish in practice?
...oh. :)
