is my favorite way to watch that launch, just because of the way it integrate the people watching. We haven't had the crowds since the Space Shuttle stopped watching, and DM-2, Crew-1, and Crew-2 all happened during the pandemic - so this shows the old excitement.
We try to use a Community of Practice framework, e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice. Active members of a CoP might then decide to set up a book club etc.

It's quite easy to draw a line from org principles ("we're always learning" etc) to active participation in a CoP, so helps align incentives on a team level (we can spend time on things outside of our immediate needs) and an individual level (it's an obvious way to get performance review evidence)
> And with OTA updates apps can get a surprisingly large amount around the review process.

Right, which is exactly why the OP's suggestion would not work, that Apple should always tell you in advance when they plan to do post-release review.

I agree entirely. Industrially, I work a role within an IT team. My work is, I hope, useful and strives towards a purpose - my employer's purpose/business model.

Do I 'go home' - leave my home office - and think about it? No. Do I muse on how to solve a work-related issue when I'm showering? Also no. Will I forget almost everything about this job as or when I move onto the next? Definitely yes.

But academically, I'm interested, and actively publish albeit modest, low-impact research, in relational databases. I love the set-based approach to all matters SQL and after many years in the field still fool around trying to embellish, attack, improve and invent the core ideas.

Why bother? Even if I come up with some magical new improvement to RDBMSs, it doesn't matter. If I fork MySQL and try out my ideas, no one cares. I'll never get the traction or the FOSS community support, I'll spend more time playing politics and managing collaborators than I'd like (zero) and I enjoy the independent thought that my interests bring.

So my academic work is pointless. But it's meaningful to me. And I think that's what matters. I don't understand one-tenth of the ideas in this article, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that it's interesting to somebody.
I think there are some potential applications.

For example, you want to have a project in the monorepo, but also share it outside of your organisation, and even have external contributions brought back in.

Or, you are working in a project in the monorepo, but you don't want to (or can't) check out the entire repo. You can still checkout just that project and its deps.

Or, you are working in a polyrepo-using organisation, and you want to experiment with using a monorepo while continuing to allows devs to work in the polyrepos that it is composed from. No big-bang cutover necessary.
Yes you are
Honestly, I didn't really expect much from a site that literally has the words "hype" and "beast" in it.
> The gold standard reinforces economic discipline

The gold standard actually doesn't do anything because no nation on Earth uses it any more. We have lots of evidence that when it was used, it created instability and economic chaos. Nobody who seriously studies economics things a "return to the gold standard" is a good idea. Here's an example poll of people who have studied economics at the highest level for their entire lives: https://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/gold-standard/

Conspiracy theories about the gold standard are peddled on youtube/twitter because it's easier to blame things on conspiracy theories than to understand complex topics. Kind of like climate change or covid.
When I've used a monorepo, that was one of the explicit goals.

Avoiding "here's my new library version, go see if it breaks your shit" was the goal - you make a change, you run the tests, you see if the whole company's code can still build or not. Having fully-separate projects in directories in the monorepo using published dependencies was considered an antipattern (though it was very hard to keep some teams from doing that).

The disadvantages of the resulting monorepo weren't "this directories are so big to keep checked out when I'm just working on one specific project" it was "our old build times and build tools are dying under the strain and even trying to move to a 'monorepo friendly' build tool might be an intractable problem because our dependency graph has become such a mess of spaghetti."

A monorepo that was done well from the start so you don't have the slow-spaghetti-build problem from months or years of "oh it's easy to depend directly on this full other module, let's just do that" sounds very appealing. We just didn't pull it off in practice, and this project would ... maybe... help in the early stages by letting people have more restricted checkouts? But only if you already know what you're doing anyway.
Lol not always but an observer could take it that way. It’s clear to them but it is still just someone’s opinion.
TSMC Has Big Plans for Small Chips
The essential property of anything mathematicians tack the word "number" onto isn't the fact that there's always a "next" number to count with. And it's very useful to do math with reals, otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk about things like the circumference of a circle, because you need an irrational, transcendental (not the root of a finite rational polynomial) constant.

Generally speaking, a good chunk of the number systems mathematicians worked with involve taking some existing number system (tracing back to the natural numbers), finding some operation that takes you outside that system, and then building a new system to cover that hole. A system that has no such holes given a particular operation is said to "close over" that operation. So, integers close over subtraction; rationals close over division, and complex numbers close over exponentiation. Since all of these systems ultimately derived from operations over the natural numbers, it makes sense to also call them numbers, even though they might lack certain symmetries or properties of simpler number systems.

Also, the word "measure" is already taken by a different concept.
We go back to the stone age. Me make product ('content'). You want product. You pay money.

Patreon, paid newsletters and paid news subscriptions are all mature industries now. Why do we act like the sky's going to fall if the spigot of useless memes, influencer primping and political propaganda gets turned off?
I think you can find a balance.

Maybe persist for the free plan but only for a month. That should give me enough time to decide if I want to convert.

I feel like a lot of products with subscription plans want to convert too quickly. I have a full time job and family. Life gets in the way of being able to dedicate full attention to getting something setup.
The book "Liftoff" (about the early years of SpaceX) paints a picture of Elon as a very smart person with a mind for engineering, but his true value-add over any other aerospace company at the time was his ability to hire the right people and sniff out bullshit.

That is, he knows enough about the engineering to hire people who know a lot about the engineering.

That, combined with his relentless drive (to the point of overwork both on himself and his employees) seems to be the key to SpaceX success.
I didn't do much of research and went straight away into employment. But my wife did and ended up in a bunch of papers in the co-authors just for helping out with a small part of the stuff (sometimes she really was surprised when she found out). So in a way one cannot expect her to know every detailed corner of the papers she has co-authored.
Here are a couple just based on my limited anecdotal observations. Some sites will redirect a user to the region/cluster their account resides externally rather than internally. There may be a mix of technical and/or regulatory requirements around this pattern. And to your point, some sites will retroactively snap in other authentication methods, redirecting to a different endpoint rather than retrofitting the logic internally on the destination servers. Sometimes this is a result of technical dept or prioritization of projects or spending. Sometimes this is a result of adding a turn-key solution that did not easily integrate with existing applications. I'm sure others here can add more reasons than I have seen.
> Most recruiters and hiring managers will never even open your GitHub profile.

For every ten that don’t, there’s one that does. Probably the same recruiters who lurk on HN.
That's called a landing, not a crash.
This guy uses big words like expound and orthogonal.
The only issue is where the risk pools, and the drive towards competitors merging to obtain scale capable of surviving failure.

Or in other words, the US effectively produced the modern primes by pushing more risk onto them. No company wants to go out of business.

And if that would be the result of a single project failure when your primary customer is asking you to do something that's never been done before?

SpaceX having success is great. But had they failed, it would have bankrupted the company. And then we'd be back to Orbital, Boeing, et al.
Outside of places that have serious economic/societal issues, generalizing cities as being "nice" or not is absurd. It all depends on the crowd you're around and/or which part of town you are in. Especially annoying is when someone compares the slow-paced, affluent suburb they move to with a high-paced, downtown area they left.
One way to say two sets of things are of equal size is if we can pair up all the elements of one set with all the elements of the other.

If we're ok with extending that to sets of infinite things (we can still pair elements of each set, we'd just never be able to finish listing all the pairs), then we can say that the natural numbers and "the set containing the natural numbers and a sandwich" are of equal size because we could pair 1 from the first set with the sandwich from the second set, pair 2 from the first set with 1 from the second set, 3 from the first set with 2 from the second set, etc etc.

There's no element of either set without a match in the other set, so they have the same cardinality as the natural numbers, with or without the sandwich.
"moe" means "tired" in dutch. So you clicked on "tired of Rust". I guess it's a "rewrite in Go" initiative ;)
I lived in Enschede from 1993 to 2002 and can't recall any 'struggles'. I do remember another incident though.
Mostly no, they should not be banned. You'll almost never see it. It's really not a big deal. Would need to get into unlawfulness before considering to censor (slander, doxing, imminent threat to harm, etc).
This is perhaps the most cynical comment I've seen. Are you seriously advocating that it's impossible to enjoy nature in a healthy way?
Gas in a dental context is usually referring to nitrous oxide, or "laughing gas", not general anesthesia.
Ask HN: What are the best pandemic resources?
In your opinion, what are the best resources for tracking information about the pandemic. I'm looking for trustworthy, actionable, and useful information. I don't necessarily need deep, scientific insight.
I don't know if or how it could be leveraged, but marking something as irrelevant is also providing information to the ad system. Even if that data is "Less of this, please".
When the govt "prints money", the govt takes on new debt against which it issues the currency notes, isn't it?

It is still the govt's word that the taxes, GDP etc will grow over time to pay off those debts which it owes to the central bank, isn't it?
The "more info" page on their website says they are ruling out battery swaps, at least for now, since a battery swap would require a mechanical certification every time it was done.

They are swappable though: they explain that used battery packs can be replaced and that used packs can be used for a second purpose with less stringent requirements. For example, an energy storage facility at the airport.
> The side project myth is getting out of control. Most recruiters and hiring managers will never even open your GitHub profile.

For many candidates one just finds fairly empty repositories with 3-4 commits, sometimes Jupiter notebooks from a coursera course, etc. I hardly find it interesting.

1 in 20 candidates may actually mention an open-source project they contribute to or started and I think this is interesting.
Network effects are at the heart of most of the tech/culture/economy discussions that crop up here. Aside from the very obvious company spin, this is a good stab at the issue.

However, any system that rewards only 10% of its participants, is essentially Hollywood. It’s not sustainable, and people will simply check out. The only way to prevent that is to either change the odds, or to sell propaganda.

I like the gambler/house analogy. It’s also has intuitive suggestions on how they can be handled.

What is to stop governments from just taking over that spot? It’s perfect for what governments are meant to do, or think they are meant to do.

“You will have access to training” is a few rungs below the “lift yourself up by your bootstraps”. Especially after acknowledging that only 10% of the population actually perform fast enough for the system to reward you.
"Didn't you just conclude that it's impossible to have a set of all real numbers?"

Cantor's diagonalization proof proves that it's impossible to list all the real numbers with a list of size aleph-0, which is the cardinality of the set of natural numbers.

The forcing proof is an attempt to prove you also can't do it with the a list of the size aleph-1, which is the size of the power set of aleph-0. It purports to prove that you need a list of size aleph-2, which is the size of the powerset of aleph-1.

You can kind of think of this not so much as whether "Can Crysis run?" ("can you have a set of all real numbers?") but "Can Crysis run on this machine?" Do the real numbers need aleph-1 "resources", or aleph-2 "resources" to list?
I think that if someone's honesty tends to be brutal more then occasionally, then it says a lot about that person. There is no reason to assume that honesty must imply primary negative statements.

Also, I think that a lot of what people call "brutal honesty" is often dishonest statement meant to cause maximum discomfort. "Brutal honesty" is often exaggeration of what is wrong rather then honest description.
The used EV can replace another dirtier car.
There were "perceived shortcomings" although Smalltalk use seems to have grown in the decade following.

IBM taught "object-oriented software technology to experienced procedural programmers" and studied that experience — 'We read and heard many stories about confident and experienced programmers' plunging into self-study tutorials, only to give up in frustration after several hours, still wondering, "Where is the application code?"
… New programmers often became lost in the hierarchy or spent considerable time in unfocused exploration of the interactive tools.'

> 2. The death of pensions matters. In the post-pension world, maxing out your 401K and then some is a bill. Period. $100K - $20K = $80K. That's almost certainly "paycheck to paycheck" territory if you're raising more than one kid without a spouse, even in low CoL areas. When comparing earnings across time, it's almost more important to consider pensions in addition to inflation.

The death of pensions also frees up (lots of) money for zero-sum competition, especially the kid-related variety, which includes housing in desirable (=the schools are safe and have good outcomes) areas, or private school tuition, tutoring, et c. If you want to save but half your peers have already chosen "defect" and are putting an extra $20,000/yr toward their kids, who will be competing with your kids for scarce resources in the not-so-distant future, it gets damn tempting to make a choice that's very bad for your retirement but gives your kids a better chance of, if not rising, at least not dropping in socio-economic class.
I assume this photodetector also uses the photoelectric effect like PV cells. Does anyone know why they wouldn't just use the more established pv tech? Said only getting efficiency of 6%.

Is there something fundamentally different about a photodetector vs. a pv cell that necessitates using different photon hitting material?
Thanks! Really glad to hear you enjoy the improvements. I spent a lot of time thinking about the data modeling and visualization aspects, so I'm happy you find the configuration here less awkward.
If you consider "compiler theory" an AI problem, then sure.

But most of us just call that compiler theory. If you're going down into FPGA routing, then maybe we also call that synthesis (slightly different than compilers, but very very similar in problem scope).

Today's compilers have an idea of how modern CPUs execute instructions, and optimize accordingly. (Intel's ICC compiler is pretty famous for doing this specifically for Intel chips). Any FPGA synthesis will similarly be written to optimize for resources on the FPGA.

------------

EDIT: Just so that you know... compiler theory and optimization is largely the study of graphs turning into other, provably equivalent but more efficient, graphs.

All computer programs can be described as a graph traversal. Reconfiguring the graph to be shorter / smaller / more parallel (more instruction-level parallelism for the CPU to discover), etc. etc. leads to faster execution.

You don't really need deep-learning or an AI to do a lot of these graph operations. There's a few NP-complete problems (knapsack problem: minimizing memory moves by optimizing register allocation) along the way that maybe an AI could try to solve. But I have my doubts that throwing a deep-learning AI at NP complete problems is the best strategy (especially given the strength of modern 3SAT solvers)
Could you share a few authors that offer worthwhile analyses on this subject?

To add to this, there is little to no evidence that diversity initiatives we see today actually helps diversity. It is a big charade and they attack those who don't want to play along with it.
They are marketed to people in my experience who are relatively poor. I know a guy who has a problem making rent who has all of his savings (about 1k) in dogecoin or other gambles like individual stocks. I have also met a ton of service people like bartenders and waiters who are involved in crypto.

I have also met quite a few software engineers who are not poor but don' have nearly the level of wealth of the people manipulating these markets who have gotten involved with this stuff. These people aren't poor but relative to the scammers they are, and when they lose money in hurts. I know one engineer for example who lost his life savings on some alt coins in this mid thirties.
I would've put it in the title but it won't fit.

Could you describe more about the relation of Practical concordance with free speech laws in Germany? I'm not too familiar. And what does free speech conflict with?

Also, she's former Danish PM.
If you want the ability to spy on the paranoid, you advertise privacy. IMO Apple and Google are playing good-cop-bad-cop.

* There is a pervasive belief on HN that marketing teams are making easy errors, i.e. there is low hanging fruit

* Consultancies that improve marketing campaign efficacy make lots of money

* HN users are making small fractions of that money and constantly complaining about it

* Any HN user capable of picking this low hanging fruit could do this for two years and retire for life

* They are not

* Conclusion: Either there is no low hanging fruit, or the HN users observing this are making millions of dollars, or these HN users do not care for money at all and get greater utility from complaining about money.

> The company, blamed for everything from election interference to vaccine hesitancy, badly wants to rebuild trust with a skeptical public....

> These people, most of whom would speak only anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss internal conversations, said Facebook’s executives were more worried about fixing the perception that Facebook was amplifying harmful content than figuring out whether it actually was amplifying harmful content. Transparency, they said, ultimately took a back seat to image management.

I can think of few approaches that are worse than that at rebuilding trust. "Building trust," by ignoring the real issue to focus on perceptions can only work (sometimes) if you can dominate someone's perceptions. Facebook doesn't have the power to do that, especially since it's lost the public's trust and invited more scrutiny.

And that leads me to the conclusion that Facebook's executives may not event understand even some basic things about trust, at least with they're in a sociopathic corporate setting.
Why does a Google security engineer gets a bounty / reward for finding a security issue ? Isn't it supposed to be his job ?
hah, you are correct.

I actually copy and pasted that from the article.
What is also interesting is the motivation of the people wanting to use CrowdTangle, etc to see the list of top posts.

My guess, is that it less about learning what is the top post, but more about using that information as a way to try to pressure Facebook to censor content they don't like.
Nitpick: CVE's don't have severities, and it's somewhat arbitrary if a CVE ID number gets assigned for a bug or not. They are basically just handles so that if there is one, people can use it to differentiate which potential vulnerability they are talking about.

There are some linked things (called CWE, CVSS, and probably more) that links to CVE IDs and there's some scoring but it's less widely used & more contested as a system.
If by 'nur' you mean 'just', you're talking German. ;)

As someone faintly familiar with various Marxist ideologies (admittedly, not particularly well read though) how would you define the latter. I assume you are contrasting it with textual Marxism or Marxist theory.
I fully agree. Zooming in on your example: I think by the definition of NVC on Wikipedia, "I need us to work as a team" is not a need as in "universal human need". It's the deposition of an assertion ("team work means not leaving work before all tickets are resolved"), wrongly or maliciously expressed as a need.

IMO the best way to respond to that would be "Aaron-santos, I understand that you feel disappointed now. Unfortunately I absolutely need to leave at X o'clock. How about we make a plan for tackling this insane workload such that everybody on the team feels supported?"
