I agree with the principle, but the way these arguments have been summarized here has led to near-complete strawmanning. It's like the author started from the blog title and then came up with their own contextless, binary arguments.

Certifications: The typical arguments against security certifications are not that they "don’t represent the full spectrum of skills a professional needs" but instead that many of them teach outdated, useless, or actively negative practices. Then they're used as an advertising tool and organizations with less security expertise are told they must hire based on certifications rather than actual skill.

Compliance: "compliance is counterproductive for security." Most security practitioners don't necessarily like compliance primarily because it's not enjoyable for them. It distracts them from the tasks that they want to be working on. In most cases compliance is orthogonal to security. In some cases it can certainly be counterproductive (e.g. government compliance programs requiring outdated crypto).

Management: The typical refrain "management doesn't spend enough on security / take risks seriously" has been turned into "management doesn’t care about security because they don’t fund every single thing the security team asks for". I mean, it's obvious that the argument wasn't taken seriously by the author just based on how they wrote that.
It's quite disgusting, but the sheer size of this number and seeing the discount etc... really stamps an impression in the mind.
Can't help but think that this is Germany's influence - there are extremely strong IP groups that try to push ridiculous IP protection laws EU-wide and, obviously, this paper didn't help to push their discourse so it had to be buried.
They absolutely are air conditioners. There's an orchard of either almonds or something else that I drive by daily in CA. The area around the orchard is about 10 degrees less than the rest of the area.
And that is why pretty much any American movie you want to watch is not available on Netflix India :P
That's just to check you're not planning to work on your tourist visa and generally means having enough to cover accomodation, transport, food, and entertainment.
It is a trade-of, as it always is. If you have fewer people involved, you will have to use more machines.

By the time I am in an old fokes home I don't need somebody to carry me to the toilet, I can just activate my drone and fly there. That should help with the pressure.

Or so I hope.
Same here in Sweden, both the increased use of wood in larger constructions as well as the EU's insistence that Swedish forestry and Swedish hydropower are "not sustainable". That's an odd stance to take to say the least, it is almost as if they're using the word "sustainable" in a way it was not meant to be used.
Much faster for much data processing workloads too. Like, significantly. And Excel has some stupid limitations like a maximum of a few millions lines.
I was staying on the small island in Thailand where Mikko lives in when he returned from the caves.

Word had obviously spread through the local Thai community that he was on the passenger ferry and there must have been 100 of them lining the streets to cheer him for his bravery once he arrived.

It was a really touching thing to see.
> Even we cannot see your decision contents.

Reads to me it's impossible for you to see them, as if you used client-side encryption of some sort. It's good to hear it's well protected as is, but I'd reword it.

For the later messaging, I'm just trying to think about what situations one would be in that this would need to be immutable and verifiable in this way. Like something would have had to have gone very very wrong so having that be a big part of your sell feels vaguely blockchainy/scammy (to me). Keep it sure, but make it a smaller part of your pitch and focus on the common path of helping a long-lived team documenting and referencing decisions, which was what I was mostly looking for.

Thanks for the reply!
I would add: engineers are required to adhere to a code of ethics, and in most places are licensed professionals.
Good question, but no. Obfuscation is an additional step you can take to make it harder to turn that executable back into code.
From experience cost shopping, Stanford tends to be by far the worst. A simple EKG would cost over $3k, compared to around $1k or so at other providers.

Though just a few years back, it was like pulling teeth to get the insurance negotiated prices (which I pay entirely having an HDHP). Hopefully, more transparency results in more cost shopping, but it's been a surprisingly slow social change.
As a Canadian, I am constantly flabbergasted when American friends tell me "Yeah, but a single-payer system would be way too expensive! Taxes would go up!".

It does not occur to them that in a single-payer system, the incentive on everyone is to find ways to lower the cost of healthcare, while in a privatized healthcare system the incentives are reversed. And examples like this twitter post show the result of those incentives.
If "not all", can you provide an example of what gets converted if you specify text?

It's difficult to understand the mind of a man who cares more for shrubs and jellyfish than the survival of his people.

Here's a thought, if you're a conscientious man concerned about the environment: Make babies. Make a lot of them. Raise them with the same thoughtfulness you have for the natural world. Raise a dozen greenies.

I assure you the sub-Saharan woman in with 11 kids has never lost a wink of sleep over any endangered Alaskan moths.

The children of those with total disregard for the Earth will inherit it. Or yours can. It's your choice.

(Why is this getting auto flagged?)
> India isn't the developed world.

Yes, I'm aware, which is why I included that the developing world's birth rate is also dropping, although starting from a higher baseline level.

> When scaling up, everything destroys the environment.

Yeah, I agree, but things don't tend to scale up linearly, and I think you're missing the cause/effect interplay between population growth and resource consumption. Yes, as populations grow they require more resources (as you point out), but limits on production of those same resources (eg food, energy) will in turn impose limits on population growth. Population growth isn't some uninhibited unstoppable force. Population shrinking forces also exist, which will likely make the net population rate of change hit an equilibrium.
Just as a followup, when asked I also excoriate Python for its gap in typing for data applications. But that gap isn't as wide as the gulf between Python & Julia vs R
It might also just be a matter of growing up and suddenly realizing that everything seems so much more defined than previously thought.

Anecdotally, but I also noticed that from around 2000 to 2010, suddenly everything needed to be categorized very specifically.

But what stood out is that people would get very weirdly upset if you put something in the wrong box, and all but start a fight about it (over forums, of course.) This was especially prevalent in the electronic music scene, but happens to this day during video game genre discussions.
> it really is a superpower in many contexts.

It's a trap because once you get comfortable in Excel you have a lot of resistance to try anything more productive than Excel. Seen that numerous times with people who work really fast with Excel yet end up very limited as to what they can actually deal with beyond simple problems.
If you dont have 500 available at the time of health issue you pay more?

But it still sounds scammy pricing tactic to me. That is not how stores or anything else works or should work.
I disagree, the British created time. GMT it is.
It doesn't include a plastic surgeon. That CPT code is very specific and translates to "Simple repair of superficial wounds of face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips and/or mucous membranes".

There are different codes for more complex work:

Intermediate repair (CPT codes 12031 – 12057)

Complex repair (CPT codes 13100 – 13160)
Love TUI browsers, excited to try a new one! How's memory footprint?
It takes zero US dollars to walk onto my lawn and take a flower pot with you. Yet putting the flower put onto the sidewalk would drastically increase the odds of someone actually taking it.

Opportunity and convenience do matter in terms of security. Maybe more in the physical world, but it's not irrelevant in the digital world either.
And vice versa, somebody else is paying for my health care. Thanks, community!
The language/runtime is very configurable. Some codebases will set strict_type=1 plus error_reporting(E_ALL) eliminating many instances of these kind of problems / footguns.
Yep exactly! I personally don't find Apple products useful but man I love iTunes just because I can buy DRM-free music.

I wish buying movies was this easy.
Most of what you said only applies when the tasks are accounting related. There's a lot more to Excel, and a lot more than that to R.

And just like, in accounting, you're not going to get the CFO to choose R over Excel, in many circles involving data analysis and statistics you won't get to choose anything but R.

Also you don't need an interactive front end for R any more than you need an interactive front end for any other programming language. The scope of use is too large to allow for a single GUI. There are some packages that provide a GUI for specific purposes, like rattle, which provides an interface for common data mining tasks and models. I'd you want a pretty good spreadsheet GUI for viewing and modifying data, you can use rhandsontable. Just a few examples.

Replacing Excel with R isn't necessary and I think would miss the point & relative strengths of the different tools. Recognizing where each tool is better suited for your needs, and if R is worth the learning curve for your specific needs, is what is important.
I figured you would post that. I have heard no actual KDE developers saying that's a problem. They don't use Qt LTS. The "drama" there seems to be mostly confined to unrelated internet forums.

As for your posts about C, I can give a personal anecdote: I would agree with those sentiments, C has a lot of really bad problems as a language. But yet, I still write it a lot more often than C++. So It's not as simple as you're making it out to be. Also I checked some of those slides and I wouldn't describe anything there as a "flame war."

>Everything that implies taking sides is politics, no matter what.

If you really want to look at things that way, you could, but this seems to not be strictly true. Just because there is taking sides does not mean there has to be fighting or politics.
Summary of NLP Papers
So is the business model of their company to turn every random user into a content generator which pays them to give away content?

Because it seems that if the author can't be identified, the ownership of the content is implied to be the publisher of this codebase.
Different things. I've had AdSense heavy site and sold that years ago, then built a SaaS and sold that. I do some e-commerce stuff, I have dozens of websites with different kind of affiliate, working on a SaaS right now and I too had some luck with crypto this year.

Basically years of building more or less successful side projects.

But to be fair no 2 years ago I was delivering paper ads for a few months, because a bunch of random projects surely aren't a sustainable income , always :)

Edit:// also it is actually cheaper living as I do than it was living down in the city. My house is old, we heat with wood only. Farming markets here are generally cheaper than supermarkets for quality meat and Vegs. The $500 overhead we pay for our car leasing we would not need otherwise is way less than what we save per square meter living so remote. And we need some extra space for the mentioned e-commerce
It doesn't seem to be too much of work or uneconomical, here in Finland construction firms are already making large apartment buildings at least partially out of wood, smaller ones have been built from wood for thousands of years already. Apparently it can be also faster than concrete building, because you don't have to wait for the concrete to dry.

If this were to become a global trend, I think it could really absorb a lot of carbon while also reducing concrete emissions. Admittedly logistics could increase the costs for many parts of the world that lack forests with suitable wood.
I feel like that would have a much worse effect/cost ratio than going to the gym and buying nicer clothes.
Not really. Logic in Excel is based on stuff like SUMIF( ...) which is totally unreadable without lots of context about the cell or range it refers to. If someone fumbled the fill command and some cell is missing the formula? You'll never know and the result will be automatically and silently zero. References to that result will just use the zero as input. Mixed fixed/nonfixed references like A$3? Unreadable and hard to understand. References per se? Unreadable because undescriptive, maybe there will be a column or field label, maybe there won't. Also, formulas are always hidden by default, you'll just get a sea of numbers.

Calling Excel easily inspectable is laughably wrong imho. Just the opposite.
R is free. Excel is not. Excel encourages messy behavior, just like Jupyter Notebooks. Sometimes during EDA that might be ok. But anything rigorous shouldn’t be confined to just Excel. Or Jupyter imo.
> A tree has so many benefits, not just capturing CO2 and de-pollution.

Indeed. I've heard on the news that one of the reasons for the current drought here in Brazil is the loss of the forests which carried humidity from the Amazon towards the south, where many important basins are located. Since most of the electric power here in Brazil comes from hydroelectric dams, and most of them are in rivers coming from these basins, this drought leads to an increase in the use of thermal generation, which means an increase on the CO2 output.
The difference is, one is not a science, and the other is not engineering. ;-)

There has always been a dilemma about what to do with bright young people who want to become computer programmers, but who also want to get a college degree.

My mom taught a programming course at a satellite campus of a state university in the 80s. The course was listed in the computer science department, but it was basically Programming 101. Her students were mostly grown-ups. Her students didn't face the dilemma because they already had college degrees, or they didn't. They were getting programming jobs after one year in the course.

My mom's advice to me was that programming was too easy to justify 4 years of college level training, and that I should major in something "real" to use her words. (She has a masters in chemistry). But actually her idea was to use college as a way to build up domain knowledge that could add value on top of programming skill. She thought there would be a need to be able to differentiate myself from the likely flood of people who were taking the 1 year course and getting programming jobs.

This post would come close to trolling if it weren't for the fact that there remain ongoing debates to this day, even in HN threads, about the merit and need for college level training to become a programmer. I'm not the only person wondering about this -- it's a real and hard problem. I actually like the idea of a decent career path for someone who is not interested or cut out to succeed in the college environment, even though I thrived in that environment myself.
Curious: is the significant palette shift purely a byproduct of the limited bits per color? Or is that somehow baked into the high color format? For example the anime image gets much bluer than I would have expected. Is that a tunable parameter or just how well you can possibly do within the constraints of the format?
I would choose react because is most used and there are some great resources to learn it well.
i think that part of the answer is that software engineers simply aren’t (usually) familiar with excel. It’s a remarkably complex and powerful program but if you never used it professionally you will never learn its full potential. Yes, it’s easier to do useful stuff as a beginner in excel vs a real programming language but to get really good at it takes time. You might think you know excel because you’ve used it in some of your classes, but to quote my first boss, if you don’t know how to use excel without ever touching a mouse then you aren’t even an intermediate user.

That does not sound at all like ADHD. The constant stimulation from discovery and creation is a more likely reinforcer.
The tooling is massively better than Python to say the least. You have a single environment (RStudio) that does most things really well, an excellent package manager, and integrated graphing capabilities and environment variables observation. In comparison Jupyter notebooks feel very limited and clumsy. And Base-R is way more tuned towards data analysis than base Python is, so you end up importing many libraries in Python to do the same thing. Finally, tidyverse has no equivalent in Python as this is a major selling point for R.
Indeed, 'eigen' and 'own' are cognates.
Looks like most people don't read the draft and comment whatever they like.

It is easy to say educate women but when there are so many women less resource/finance it is hard to scale. This policy will help educating women in a sense that there is incentive.

The draft is not about killing extra children but its about preventing the birth. The draft says it will even provide free education to single child. The policy also says it provides incentive to family that follows the rule. Those who don't follow simply wont get incentive.

I think this is correct way to handle population. India is largely overpopulated anyway. And there is constant pressure on resource.

And lastly, its not like China policy where someone is forced. India is democratic country and I think this is a good policy at least on paper. Regarding implementation we will see in future.
I've always had ppl on HN Tell me that they never 'accept cookies' and just reader mode or some such thing. Whats the work around here?

renv is way less clumsy that whatever Python keeps trying to reinvent with pyenv, virtualenv and whatever new solution they come up with every single year.
Hi, psychologist here. Cognitive decline is not my specialty but I’ve taken doctoral level courses in it.

The problem with the “shorter higher quality life” position is that diet, exercise and health affect EVERYTHING. Exercise and diet are majorly implicated in both physical health decline and onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. In fact, maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is often found to be the number one protective factor against cognitive decline.

Unfortunately there’s no health strategy that reliably produces a shorter higher quality life. There’s only increasing health span through lifestyle.

Note: there are medical choices that increase lifespan but not health - medication and surgery that prolong unhealth. But that’s a whole different game than healthy lifestyle.

Debugging C++ with Clang on Ubuntu 20.04
If you've been wondering how to get this working, I've written a HOWTO here: https://rob-blackbourn.github.io/blog/vscode/clang/llvm/ubun...
I should sit down and benchmark those one of these days.

The jump from USB2 to USB3, either with or without UAS (it's nice, but doesn't lead to a huge jump in benchmarks) gets you a ton of disk performance, and my gut feeling is that while you could certainly measure the performance delta from USB3 to NVMe, it wouldn't lead to a practical increase in speed for typical desktop use. Going from glacial SD cards even to USB2 SSDs is a huge jump, but USB3 to NVMe seems like it would be going from "Fast enough that it's no longer a bottleneck" to "Even faster."

Though for reasons I don't understand fully, all the ARM boards I've tested have very poor USB3 performance compared to Intel. Same SSD, same USB adapter, and the Intel systems absolutely crush the ARM systems (Pi4 and Jetson Nano) in small sector IO performance.

The main problem with NVMe is that the various carriers that support it aren't cheap, and often (at least in the past 6-8 months) aren't really available. You can get a USB3 adapter and used SSD for $30, reliably, any time you want.
So is https://exploratory.io - I almost always start with it and export the R script once I have some intuitive confidence in my data.

Wow, you've posted pics of yourself twice. Take that attention-seeking shit back to IG.
I have friends that work at Epic but I don't do a lot on the EHR side. I will say I went several years ca. 2010-2019 or so without utilizing healthcare at all, and went from having doctors laugh at me when I asked for my chart and telling me that I wasn't allowed to see it from being able to log in to my doctor's portal and see my actual Epic chart, complete with their shorthand, typos, etc. The first time I logged in, after the initial shock, I was able to correct two errors in my medical history from when I was in HS. So from a consumer standpoint I am 110% pro-EHR.

I think the pot is getting bigger but it's getting bigger for gigantic organizations like Kaiser (not calling them out specifically but it's a name everyone knows). Someone pointed out, either here or in the tweet thread, that the 2011-2020 price increases are just going to Stanford. The physicians don't see any of that because they have their own reimbursement, and the patient gets their own bill. When we ran billing in-house it was not uncommon for patients to call us with billing issues because they didn't understand (nor should they have had to) that our radiology service bill was separate from the hospital. Which was separate from the anesthesiologist. Which was separate from the lab. Etc.

I see the pot getting bigger mainly for insurance companies, and large hospital systems, in that order. Some docs in some specialties are doing as well or better than they were ten years ago but a lot of the primary care specialties just get whatever the Medicare reimbursement is and don't have any control over it. Insurance companies will pay them whatever they decide to pay them. So short of increasing the cash price on that minority patients, all of whom are going to be very price sensitive, the independent docs and small practices can't do much to move the lever. Healthcare software vendors seem to be making out like bandits because their clients are typically the large systems and insurers who are flush with cash.
I think it is fine to pursue this ever increasingly detailed classification of things (not only in art or pop culture, this applies to other knowledge too, including science). The problem might come if one takes one of these descriptive, post-hoc classifications, ignores the fact that they are often diffuse and imperfect, and then tries to use it as a predictive model to explain and deal with everything, and discard any data that doesn't fit. But people like meta, so it might not even be a problem :)
