Your original post asked how to make it so that women's career doesn't take a hit. The answer is obvious: make it so that the likelihood of men and women going on parental leave is roughly the same. It's totally doable. It would require some changes, but it's totally doable. If your concern is cost specifically, we could always _remove_ parental leave from women and allocate it to men instead. So this could even be done on a financial cost-neutral basis.

But yes there is no free lunch. Either more money needs to be allocated to parental leave, or the current parental leave needs to be shifted over towards men at the cost of women. Somewhere something has got to give. But it's not some sort of mystical problem. We know how to solve it. Whether we choose to do so is another question.
I just hate how it is not consistent with the clicking. (Same problem everywhere). Click a thumbnail of image to expand full size. Click a thumbnail of image ling to go to site. I only wanted to expand the thumbnail and not go to the site. If after I expand the thumbnail and find it interesting, then I will want a link.

On HN, if post is not a link, clicking on title brings to comments. If post is a link, clicking on title brings to link. Can't we just have clicking on title brings to comments and a separate icon for going to external website?
Stackoverflow mentions + Github repos created are both very imperfect proxies. Also, never show cumulative stats in a graph - it almost always go up and to the right: not insightful at all.

A much better proxy is the % of job openings/companies that mention GraphQL in a job opening: https://pasteboard.co/KaZ2ko0.png

Both have increased from 0.8% to 1.4% YoY, and the demand for GraphQL skills have kept increasing for more than 2 years.
The fact that it's about chickens is irrelevant. This is about how viruses evolve when confronted with an immune system.

But you are correct that the lower the transmission rate from vaccinated people, the lower the risk of enhanced viruses.

But your 95% is debatable. The number goes drastically down depending on which vaccine you use, the new strains, and probably time.

My point is that the myth that unvaccinated people are the part of the population creating enhanced variants is false.
Before the vaccination propaganda started it was known to everyone that isolating the sick tends to forces the virus to evolve in less dangerous strains.
He just has to go to a landfill and connect that balloon to a methane release port.
>>>It’s because the most active parts of Reddit’s user base prefer it this way.

I would love to see any semblance of evidence that this is true.

Reddit shoves a lot of things down your throat and forces users to do things without providing alternatives.

It's super aggressive in making you use their app (the mobile site is purposely broken), aggressive about making you create an account, and doesn't allow alternatives for sharing images in some instances.

And while we're at it (poor feature, not necessarily a preference), its search is awful.

I highly doubt these are things "Reddit's user base prefer."

The one saving grace reddit has right now are its niche communities where comments are still thoughtful and the content is still interesting. Reddit does everything it can to get in the way of that.
There’s no hierarchy though, so that’s the problem for me. If I have 400 repos and divide them across 4 orgs with 100 each, users have to be added to all four groups, search across all four, etc.

Gitlab allows groups under the org so you can have hierarchies common in org structures.

I wish GitHub would do this with suborgs. So I can have a “Foo” org for my company and then divisions or big projects can have suborgs. So all users are members of Foo and then also members of their particular groups.

This is sort of possible with Teams and permissions but is hard UX as there’s no way to just see all the repos in a suborg.
I really would love to have this compiler have a llvm backend.

Given that this involves disturbing the bottom of the pond, and that burning methane still produces CO2, this may actually be less environmentally friendly than just using gas.
If you are interested in hyper-scale event processing but you want to learn it from first principles, I strongly recommend following Martin Thompson's talks. Here is an example of one on cluster consensus:

After digging through all of this material and playing around with LMAX Disruptor & Raft, I have been able to develop a really good understanding of how to build these sorts of systems on my own. Fun constraints like "Only one thread actually mutates anything, and its the same one over and over" make for incredibly elegant implementation opportunities. Not having to constantly hunt down exotic thread-safe data structures means that you can focus on building actual value.

Latency is the biggest devil you will dance with in this arena, so almost everything you do will be oriented around mitigating that effect. Latency both at the network and inside the CPU/memory/storage. It applies at every level.
As a cyclist, I constantly break the law, and I’m aware that I do so.

The thing is, most traffic laws are designed to keep drivers safe. They’re also designed for cars. Bicycles aren’t cars, and car drivers tend to be impatient and don’t pay attention, so we have to adjust—-which sometimes means, for example, running the red light a couple of seconds before it turns green. Or turning left on a red light, since I’m not crossing any lanes. Or treating a stop sign as a “slow” sign.

(This is a left-side driving country.)

All of that is necessary to keep my life expectancy up. As for the pedestrians, well, unlike a car I’m perfectly capable of spotting their existence. Nor is a slow-moving bike particularly dangerous.

I literally bought a Bluetooth enabled TNG-style comm badge for my partner for Christmas.

TOS-style communicators are basically flip-phones with absurd range.

Given that WiFi signals can be used as wall-penetrating radars capable of pose, breathing, and pulse determination, that could be added without too much difficulty.

Likewise broad range IR and UV cameras (which I assume will become standard when phone manufacturers can no longer differentiate by zoom, just as they added zoom when everyone had enough megapixels).

Geiger counter would probably just upset people when they realise even organic bananas contain radioactive potassium, but could be done.

Carbon monoxide and other air quality sensors are fairly plausible IMO. Not sure how many you could put in a phone (zero? Just CO? Whole mass spectrometer?), but I can see the desire.

With Choreo, you can write integrations, write and manage APIs, facilitate reuse via a marketplace, and much more.

Three things that sets Choreo apart:

1. Simultaneous low-code and code: Choreo enables you to go from low-code to source code, easily switching back and forth with zero boundaries.

2. Integration and collaboration of effort: Developers simply write code; we’ll do the rest to give you a production-grade deployment including sophisticated build pipelines, autoscaling, high availability, deep observability, performance forecasts, API management, and marketplaces.

3. Lock-in free low-code: It's all available in GitHub because your low-code is actually just code. As a result, you can clone and edit the code anytime. Please note, some of this feature is not available in the first public beta launch.
We've been using Kafka for a while. We're thinking about ditching it for something AMQP. For all it's bells and whistles, it's just not really all that exciting. We're probably spending 5x more on Kafka than we could something much simpler.

One immediate reaction: this data isn’t adjusted for overall numbers. Yes, the number of GraphQL mentions on Hacker News varied, but how did it vary compared to the overall number of comments on the site? Same with SO questions and GitHub repos.

Without controlling for that you might just be looking at the normal ebb and flow of site traffic throughout a year. In fact you see it in the SO data, where both GraphQL and Kubernetes take a dive at the end of 2020. I’ll bet overall site traffic was down as people left for holidays, focused on end of year reviews, etc etc.

> I’m guessing good faith to the regulators would mean giving in to the news agencies demands.

No, it's about including all market players and not only some segments, actually releasing proper revenue data and agreeing to negociate on neighbouring rights rather than just Google Showcase.

Google is intentionaly stalling negociations on neighbouring rights because they don't agree with their existence. Last time, they took a slap on the wrist. As they didn't get it, the regulator is now less kindly reminding them that they don't get to choose which laws apply to them.
Honestly I don't take it as a personal attack. I just find people unnecessarily forgoing it to be selfish and stupid.

There seems to be an assumption in the article that skepticism about The Big Bang is as irrational as the belief that Bill Gates has contaminated vaccines with microchips; that humans didn't evolve; or that climate change is a hoax.

I realise that there's a scientific consensus that The Big Bang occurred; but the fact is, the earliest evidence is the CMB ("evidence", as in "what is evident, observable"). That's 350,000 years after The Big Bang. Everything before that is informed speculation. There are plausible theories about what happened before then, that don't include Big Bangs.

That is, a scientifically literate person without strong political or religious biases can still maintain a reasonable skepticism about The Big Bang.
Turn Your iPhone into a Webcam with Shortcuts and Camo
Sadly IT support and to some extend sysadmins (SRE?) need to cope with the fact that even though they may work closely with engineers their pay is typically much less and are there to help those teams. This causes resentment and sadly leads to the arrogant sysadmin/IT support stereotype. Now there is concrete reason why it makes sense to be arrogant and not respond right away. I hope no one takes this advice except the very overworked and stressed who'd probably be wiser taking another job anyway.
It's true that nobody ever says "no thanks" to free money, but there's an opportunity cost to where you spend your budget. People may prefer you to spend it hiring someone new to help them, for example.

If people need to "beg" for a payrise, then you're doing it all wrong anyway.
New Timescale Time-Series Analytics Extension for PostgreSQL
I am very surprised by this. Your experiment implies that GPT-3 has sufficient parameters to keep copies of training text.

I have been effectively using GPT-3 a lot recently because I added chapters with OpenAI APIs examples to my Common Lisp and Clojure books (you can get free copies at [1] by setting the price to Free).

At Capital One, I used LSTM models to generate AWS JSON logs for testing purposes. The original logs contained sensitive data that was not in the generated data. JSON structure and names of keys was learned and reproduced verbatim, but not the values. GPT-3 has massively more parameters than my models. BTW, I also generated spreadsheet data using GANs: similar idea, but different tech.

Isn't maintaining a solo pace much harder than maintaining pace inside a peloton (and isn't this a huge driver of the various strategies in long distance cycle racing)? Is this guy riding by different rules (eg. allowed to ride more hours per day or something) or is he just that much faster than the Tour de France cyclists? And if the latter, why isn't he out winning Tour de France?

> I get people sending me things that I might like as a screenshot. Great, nice jacket, if only I could click that "buy" button. I wonder why sharing of links is so unpopular, especially outside of the tech-sphere. Is it that "link previews" are generally worse than a screenshot of the page?

For the sender, especially on mobile, it takes less time to take and share a screenshot, then it takes to get the URL, copy it and paste it into a message.

For the receiver, it takes less time to receive and view a screenshot then it takes to recieve and open a link. Web page rendering times suck, so the people have found a solution to work around that.

I much prefer to receive a screenshot of what someone wants me to see, than a link. I can view picture messages much more quickly than I can view links, and I often wont click a link because I don't want to sit there waiting for a page to finish rendering.

It's either slow because it's full of adverts, or it's slow because it's stalling waiting for an advert/tracker to load that's blocked by the pihole.
Excel and “Checkbox” Features

I read Hacker News and other IT news sites.
Is Google just a website? It is an entire effing ecosystem, and that ecosystem gives them too much power, and powers their ad network too.

My photos are stored in Google Photos. My email is Gmail. My files are in Drive. I use Google Fi for mobile. My map use and my phone location are in Google's servers. Google controls for all intents and purposes Android, and the Play Store. I use Google Docs. I use Duck Duck Go, but also Google Search. I could go on. Google analytics is installed on nearly ever web site. Google controls the premiere ad network, and the most popular web browser in the world. But let's not forget their Chrome OS. All of that is being leveraged, not just its liddle search engine.

Break them up. Into many tiny pieces. Dozens even.
With respect to how it applies to the above:

r/lesbians is a porn subreddit with content restricted to female same sex porn content. This is just categorisation.

r/truelesbians was supposed to a subreddit for lesbians to aggregate and discuss stuff. What ended up happening was while it was still a lesbian focused subreddit, it became a breeding ground for anti-trans/TERF content/discussions/rhetoric and the moderation of the sub enforced those beliefs. This is what makes r/truelesbians discriminatory instead of just being categorisation. It takes a step from "don't post content that doesn't belong here" to "don't post content that doesn't belong here AND don't post at all here if you match some arbitrary biological definition we don't like or if you support those people".

You also have r/actuallesbians which branched off from r/truelesbians when they got TERFy. r/actuallesbians is inclusive of all people who identify as female but have the same original focus of providing a platform to discuss and aggregate female same sex/lesbian content/discussions. This once again is categorisation and not discrimination because anyone can post there as long as the posts are on topic. Additionally the content of the sub isn't discriminatory in this case because it's focused on a topic (about same sex female relationships) rather than focused against another (against trans individuals).

So r/lesbians and r/actuallesbians both are categorical while r/truelesbians was discriminatory on top of being categorical because of the exclusionary nature of the subreddit.
I am sure that is the case. I was never suggesting that this part was intentionally chosen to be plastic because nothing else could work. There’s hundreds of materials you can make a fitting out of, and likely dozens of materials would work, with varying pros and cons. I’m saying this is typically a problem that would have a carefully engineered solution.
I've briefly looked at LLVM and how to interface with it but back then I didn't find much else than some C++ Builder API. I'd hope for some textual format that I could give to LLVM as an input. I assume it exists and that I've just been googling wrong :) Would definitely appreciate some pointers in that regard.

Other than that my best bet for native binaries is most likely compiling to C or GraalVM (which already exists as an experimental backend in elm-in-elm via Truffle!)

I would have let this slide but I really don't like it when people put words in my mouth. Check your previous post, read carefully, you are the first person to use those words :).

No it is not. You're telling us to use car tires when we are on bikes. Car tires are nice but it's useless for me when I am riding a bike.

> That I'm either already logged in or that I can login in "2 taps" (very dubious, specially for old.reddit.com)

This is a reasonable assumption because, I quote myself:

> Of course I made the assumption that you are already logged in to Reddit, because that's the type of person the usage of this bot is for anyway. If you browse without an account, this is not the bot (or service) you are looking for.

I grant you I did overlook old.reddit.com does not have OAuth. But browsers do save your login credentials, which is even faster.

> That I can search whether there is an existing link with no effort or taps (easier with old.reddit.com, at the cost of swiping, unlikely with the new one), or that I don't otherwise care about telling everyone that I have downloaded the video.

I'll grant searching for an existing link isn't the easiest thing in the world but the upvote system kinda compensates for this.

You can delete comments if you don't mind announcing to everyone you DLed a video. Or use an alt. Or if you do it rarely enough, yeah why not a downloader site.

Again, this bot is for people invested in Reddit's ecosystem.

> * That the bot is going to reply immediately and not make me wait an indefinite amount of time, and that I will not need to manually tap refresh N times to see when it is finished (which is the case in old.reddit.com).

That's why you have notifs. I mean if you need to download this video right now then, maybe this bot isn't for you. But most people don't need right now.

> Does that really change the argument? Would that make it "useful" instead of "shameless self promotion"?
>
> Of course not.

Except it does. If you add the DL link to each of your comment that also happens to link your product, you become _that guy_ who's always provides a link to the video download without being asked to. It's useful precisely because you anticipated what the user would need your services for. I'm baffled I need to spell that out.

If I stuff every bulletin board with a flyer for my computer repair services, I'm just another voice in that messy pile. But if I repair people's computers and then give them my calling card/flyer, they are likely to not find that annoying because I had a good pretext for advertising my services.
That doesn’t pass the sniff test. America started having fewer kids before long parental leave was the norm. It might be true for you, but it doesn’t seem causal as a society.

I think much more plausible is the reverse: having fewer kids makes long parental leave ideal. If you’re only going to have one or two kids, you’d prefer to take time off and invest in nurturing them. This isn’t possible if you’ve had four or five, since you won’t have the time.
"Limit" seems more likely than "ban". There are legitimate use cases for noncompetes. But the argument is that they're being used in a lot of cases where there's no legitimate need, but solely to tie the workers down. That may lead to a ban on certain types of noncompetes.

The FTC has a fair bit of leeway from Congress to regulate anti-competitive behavior. Companies may well decide to force a judge to rule on the limits of FTC's power, but it's not something the President is doing just by waving a magic wand.
