OMG! Yes!!

I was a master at this back in the day, and even better at StarGate (Defender2)

One of the things about StarGate was that you could write almost a whole sentence if you beat the high score instead of just your initials.

I was in fierce competition with my friend and we would troll each other by writing horrible stuff on the high score for everyone in the arcade to see.
Integration-testing microservices with virtual clusters
I didn’t quite get the climate science impact. Is the suggestion that these borgs currently are “digesting” methane, and therefore helping reduce the amount of methane released to the atmosphere? Is there a suggestion that we might augment them to “digest” CO2 too?
Thanks for the insight. It makes sense for small companies then to not offer paid parental leave, as they really cannot afford that most of the time (thinking of cafes, restaurants, small shops at the corner, etc.)
It’s a different job, of course.
Judging by r/youtube, they've been going down about every month this year. Feeds were down for some hours a couple of days ago, too. It might be temporary, but we can't tell without an annoucement.
>> It gets safer overtime.

With aircraft any crash or near-crash is investigated and then the software and procedures for all similar aircraft are updated. Over the decades this has resulted in a huge reduction in the rate of accidents. Isn't it likely that the same thing will happen with self-driving cars?
it's nicer using PowerShell. `cd hklm:\` and bob's your uncle.
Multiple months of paternity leave for men is well established in Norway (and other Nordic countries), and has been for a long time.

When given a real choice, men are eager to and capable of caring for their small ones. Even from the first month.

Any amount of rehashing, thinking-really-hard-about and mashing preconceptions and stereotypes together in new and interesting ways to form an opinion on how well this would work, is moot. It already works.
One feature I REALLY like about ZenHub is that you can build a project board with multiple repositories on it. Easy to tie tickets from the back-end repo to the front-end repo, or whatever you need. Wish GitHub would build out multi-repo projects... or just buy ZenHub. Nice of GitHub to build out their own project boards in recent years, but it's never been as good as some of the 3rd Party tools that are out there.

Use Go AND Rust in the same project.
Ah, yes, I was talking about a catchment tank (before the main pump; so the pump has water to pump) for the low-pressure input water. The pressure tank can be whereever.
An interesting premise, but I am on a well, have a pressure tank, and the well hose/pump has a check valve.

(Otherwise, water could slowly drain back into the well)

So think of it as a closed system, and it is a common setup, yet I have not seen this behaviour.
The problem with this article is that it assumes that Stallman's intent would lead to the end result that Stallman wants, and that what Stallman wants is good. I believe this is wrong, either in one way or the other.

As far as I understand it, Stallman wants users to have the right to hack on software that they use and to be protected from bad software because of that ability to hack, like right to repair protects consumers on the hardware side.

Well, if GitHub Copilot can wash away copyright, companies will quickly realize that opening their source just allows their competitors to wipe away whatever edge they get from their software by keeping changes secret. They will use that reason to close more of their software to preserve their trade secrets.

In other words, if copyright wouldn't apply to software anymore, then companies would protect their software by trade secrets instead, leading to less open source, which would lead to less user freedom to hack, especially since such trade secret controls might be used against users themselves.

So I would argue that if Stallman wants copyright to disappear, he wants the wrong thing because it conflicts with his goal of user freedom, and Copilot is a problem. If he doesn't, then he will absolutely care about Copilot because Copilot will still be a problem since licenses use copyright to protect users.

I can't stress that amount. Our copyright on our software protects our users, and as such, we should guard it jealously. Not for our sake, but for theirs.
> OpenSearch is a community-driven, open source search and analytics suite derived from Apache 2.0 licensed Elasticsearch 7.10.2 & Kibana 7.10.2. It consists of a search engine daemon, OpenSearch, and a visualization and user interface, OpenSearch Dashboards.

from the main page. So it’s essentially ES before they switched to a new license.
OpenSearch is the AWS fork of ElasticSearch prior to the license change aimed at preventing AWS from copying Elastic IP without compensation.
Only my Teams works better in Linux environment than the Windows one? And smoothly...
Are there any numbers with actual implementations?

it seems to me that removing single number from a random position in a list is also not what Lisp lists address, especially since Lisp implementations have vectors, too.
Apple Security Bounty: A personal experience
My own institution, a government lab, uses the same naming system (IC1 through IC6) with management also done similarly to what is shown here (M3-M6 at least, not sure about M7). And ICs are slotted into certain disciplines just as here (e.g., for us, Mechanical vs. Optical engineers).

And also with the same matrices. The framework is just the same, with the same griping about the language being slippery among those who use it ;-).

It was converted into the number/matrix setup from the earlier system with Senior, etc., some years ago.
You’re right about the cross pollination, but I’m curious what metric you think is being maximized locally.

I’d be willing to agree with “degree to which company is just doing whatever Google does” or more simply “concentration of tech industry bug-people”

I've never worked at a big company and my immediate reaction is that I don't like this. It feels like most HN commentators share this kind of sentiment.

I'm genuinely wondering what people on the other side of this debate think about this. If you like having systems like this in your organization, what is it that you like about it?

I feel like in my case it would totally discourage me from actually trying to make the company do better and instead would make me focus too much on trying to please people who rate me on these criteria. But I guess maybe that happens in a large organization anyways. And I guess in that case it's nice to have at least some (albeit not perfect) set of rules. Is that kind of the idea for having these?
I thought it was blatantly dishonest: "GPL people should ignore GPL violations because pursuing them will make them look like the giant corporations" is clearly not a defendable argument (although I might be building a strawman here)
Fair point. I've not met many people who are actually excited by this stuff, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I may be a little bit biased in this area as I had to spend a lot of time dealing with a build system that my company had rolled themselves, with one maintainer that spent his entire week just putting out fires, all while under high pressure from deadlines and also external pressure from home eviction, wedding, side businesses).

I just cannot relax or have fun when dealing with WiX or qmake failures or dependencies disappearing.
I just want to say, this was a wonderfully written article!

Personally, I have an interest in biology and nature - everything is so complex and interconnected!

I would say that many people here have an interest in learning "how things work" that isn't limited to just computers.
It is ridiculous really. I have been vaccinated with Moderna, which didn't even bring anything else to the market as far as I know.

Listening to these people wanting to nudge others I wish I didn't get vaccinated.

I think the damage Covid can cause is significant, but this is an experimental treatment. To my disappointment I didn't get magnetic, but doctors claiming there cannot be any unforseen dangers are lying to you.

If someone forces the vaccine on you, they should be liable for any damages. Perhaps not the manufacturer but government in this case.
Social media has made non-conformity an entitled privilege, Even staying away from them is a privilege.

One who has to find a job on LinkedIn cannot be a non-conformist and not upload their profile photo because profile photo causes biases[1].

It's near impossible to survive as a solopreneur without a twitter account and decent number of followers especially if there is no prior network.

And in social media conformism is the name of the game, You say what your followers want to hear and not they need if you want those likes, shares etc. The author doesn't use social media.

P.S. I read HN on my kindle, The text only website loads beautifully on kindle - https://twitter.com/heavyinfo/status/1414840757161136128?s=2...
It's very much a martial art, though varies between different schools (but the same could be the same with any style of fighting).
That's what the French did, everything was explained and accessible. It isn't good enough and people aren't vaccinating fast enough, hence limitations to push people to vaccinate ( but it isn't mandatory, just very highly encouraged ).

I'm a bit torn on the subject, but i think it's better to limit those making a personal choice not to vaccinate themselves and protect themselves and everyone than limit them and everyone else.

Edit to say: yep it's true, Macron announced it last night. It's subject to debate and approval of the proposed law, so it isn't a fact yet.
Umm, yeah because nobody has chores to do. Cleaning, cooking, tidying, life admin, dealing with companies or people who are sucking away your time, home maintenance, etc etc

Oh wow, I was also in Japan in February 2020 when the pandemic hit, but being stranded didn't even enter my mind as a possibility. How did you adapt initially?
Maybe a way to get around this would be to ask for the details of the person who'd actually be paying rather than their vulnerable relative.

Then you can talk them the rest of the process and make sure they're comfortable the whole way.
Hmmm, my pihole is blocking me from viewing the site.

I’d check the logs but my cat is on my keyboard.

True, but causation isn't a stretch. The father bonding with the child and getting experienced with childcare could be a destressor for the marriage.
What if it didn't send anything to the server. Today. But stored it in local storage. And sends it next week when you come back.
I'm having trouble with 30 or so repos. I shudder to think what 500 or more is like. Search every time? kind of not good.

Maybe there is a place for an "index" repo that holds a set of github pages that acts as an index into all the repos and groups them via that page instead of just using search.
> I mean, the only reason... Because these businesses actually need all their workers to actually work, and when they don't, the business actually stops functioning.

Businesses do exist and function perfectly fine in countries where these policies are universal, so I don't buy the argument. I've only encountered this belief in North America.

But yes, US tech giants pay voluntarily because they are quite profitable and hiring devs is (relatively) hard, and yes society should enforce it through government policy (I think whether it is taxpayer or company funded is a smaller detail IMO - e.g. annual leave and other entitlements are company funded - but yes 6 months paid leave for a very small business might be an expense it cannot pay, compared to predictable amounts of annual leave you can plan around, so it might make sense to "pool" the cost via taxation).
sensor fusion is used in a lot of places in robotics (and rockets!).

and yes, your percept is constructed from all functioning senses. what you look at and where your attention lands is often directed by your auditory system which can locate things in 3d space.
Agreed - what I was trying to convey was that BJJ is a very good bet for defending yourself one on one, but if you face multiple assailants it is useless. A good striker may stand a chance against two or three aggressive drunks (untrained, not methodical) with the strategy you described.
There are plenty of big advancements to be made. It's just because of the way research funding works, nobody has the funds or the time to work on them, because, yeah, these advancements are not easy or quick or predictable to come by. Sounds to me like the head of a research institute rationalising to himself why the research coming out of his institute is basically worthless.
I understand this was a tough experience but this wasn't a job. It was a volunteer opportunity with paid lunch ($100 a month). You don't even need to mention it on your resume.
I can't help but draw a connection with another pop-science idea: growth mindset.

(I don't mean to denigrate either idea by the use of that term, it's just that you need a term to describe scientific ideas that have a following outside of their expert group.)

If you think someone has a fundamental issue, you'll never try to change it. If someone is just an asshole, you can avoid them, but not change them. Similarly if you think you're "bad at math" and that this is some kind of unchangeable quality, there's no point in trying to learn.

With both ideas, the key is there's a belief that you can alter outcomes by changing the situation.

There are some screenshots about people speaking about a vaccine, not necessarily negatively. The SMS didn't get delivered with a hint where to find information. Could be fake though, the message was displayed in Androids SMS app.
This is wildly inaccurate to the point that I would consider asking for this list to be taken down.

We know a lot about how the muscles sits on bone, how different bone density and shapes affect strength and thus possible uses. We can also draw a lot from reptiles and living dinosaurs (birds) by looking at analogous structures that are widely present in existing animals.

This sort of news has been going around the Brazilian internet for quite a while to the point that a fairly well known paleontologist and science communication showed the process of how this reconstruction would be made (video, in portuguese: https://youtu.be/8TPPFcZpCbA)
Looks awesome. Do you know if and how you guys support NVIDIA's software. For my project the NVIDIA software I'm using states it needs:

CUDA 11.3.0

cuBLAS 11.5.1.101

cuDNN 8.2.0.41

NCCL 2.9.6

TensorRT 7.2.3.4

Triton Inference Server 2.9.0

I'm new to deploying to production inference so I'm not sure if those are easily portable across such platforms or not really.
Free as in beer, yes
I noticed the same about myself but I still wonder if this isn't just a character weakness. Why exactly can't I be just as careless and free about a project that I'm serious about in the sense of its potential to make money if executed fully? I do think it's a weakness.

Apple repair would send you a new car while they dismantle the old one for raw materials. They do this as soon as a fender is bent.
It's definitely not everyone in the US. I keep thinking that it's around a third of the population that is extremely susceptible to propaganda. There's huge overlap between wokeness and vaccine eagerness, and there's huge overlap between conservatism and vaccine hesitancy (aka not being persuaded to undergo needless medical procedures)
One issue that seems to be missing from the article is discussion of the ability to monitor transactions in other countries using a CBDC. If like dollars the cryptocurrency is used outside a countries borders, then an in-built traceability in the cryptocurrency compromises everyone who uses it, regardless of borders. This would be a good reason to fear a cryptocurrency from China and a good reason for the USA to have their own. It could also become a strong barrier to adoption if countries outlaw other countries CBDC's to protect their citizens privacy making trade payments via CBDC's impossible.

It's a bit nuanced. There is a whole spectrum starting from Amazon warehouse workers who are easily replaceable (or, as we recently heard, will be replaced no matter what) to a guy who trenched himself so that he holds everybody hostage. I consider both extremes unethical because of power imbalance.

In any case, it's in the best interest of the company to reduce the bus factor to zero, and by the same token, it's in the best interest of the employee to keep it above zero. You can understand how much it is above zero during salary negotiations, or when you say "I quit" and you are offered a raise. It's mainly because in order to replace you, the new employee needs to be trained and this takes time usually proportional to your experience.

Now, in the case we're discussing (paternal leave), you don't just make a threat to leave, you actually just quit - you allow the company to test the scenario of working without you. So basically you lose some bargaining power.

I'm not saying this is how things should be, but similar thinking processes are going on in the heads of many people in management positions, especially recently, when you need to put some extra effort justifying your position.

is a bit of a strange way of saying "selling ElasticSearch as a service".

Here's an idea, although I'm not sure if it would work:

The government allows Tesla to conduct a randomised control trial: When you get in a Tesla you enter your destination, then there's a 50% chance of having to drive the car manually (the 'control') and 50% chance of having the car drive you (the 'treatment'). After 10 million trips, if the treatment group had fewer accidents than the control group, then Tesla is allowed to roll out self driving to everyone. But on the other hand, if treatment has more accidents than the control group then Tesla must pay, say, $10 million for each excess fatality.
> Would I run up to a morbidly fat person and shout "Calories in/Calories out"? No.

What precisely do you mean by Calories in/Calories out? Do you mean the very basic observation that eating significantly more or less than you eat today will help increase or decrease your weight, all things being equal? This is clearly true, but doesn't explain why some people naturally overeat, while others naturally undereat, and why overeating has been significantly increasing all over the world.

Or do you mean that people gain a pound for every 3.5k Cal that they eat? Because these sorts of numbers are pure gunk - there is huge variance between individuals in terms of how much overeating will cause how much weight gain. The relationship is also highly non-linear.
I believe it also includes some plugins that were not included in the open source version of ES. One being security, that allows you to create user accounts and grant access. Another being anomaly detection.

Who changed from which license to which?

The owner of the code can of course change the license. But in typical open source projects there are 100s of contributors, so changing the license can be anything between a major job and impossible.
It's not just Apple, it's unfortunate behaviour of all service providers. For them it's much easier to shut you down then even look into situation.

I'm getting "complaints" every week, mostly poorly written letters from lousy lawyers hired by competitors. Although the "complaint" is clearly doesn't make any sense (private entity claims it orders on behalf or Ministry without any proof), it still takes a lot of time to explain why the claim is baseless and of malfeasance's nature.
I started a new project with monorepo, but soon the number grew when I had to share smaller private sub-projects with smaller teams. I wish there was a way to only share a directory or so.

On the monorepo, I learned a couple interesting things. For example with npm packages, even if you host multiple packages in a single monorepo you can still track dependents for each individual lib [1]. Well done Github.

While I agree (good and bad repair shops), this extends to dealers and even management at local, non-franchised shops.

EG, a specific Tesla shop can be stuck with bad management too.

A Canadian banks was caught because tellers were signing people up, unaware, with free credit cards, over draft protection, monthly plans, and even lines of credit. Why?

Management tying performance and promotion, and even job security, with overly aggressive conversion numbers.

So, even a Tesla shop may try an upsale, to get monthly profit numbers up.

In terms of the hack? It's not a hack. It is a simple, sensible fix. Bear in mind, the Tesla shop he went to? Seems to be little more than a component swapping repair site. They likely know little about car repair.

One other thing. You get good at car repair, when you work on 10, 20, 30 year old cars.

Fixing new, in lease cars is easy by comparison. Tesla has little experience with 20 year old wear and tear fixes...

Yet independent shops and experienced mechanics do.
Plus there's nothing in Copilot that would weaken the copyright of closed source software - pirated copies of Windows and first-run movies would remain exactly as illegal as before. The "weaken copyright" claim is some bad-reasoning I'm groping for a word to describe. It's as if Google stole stuff from several small companies and someone said "at least it weakens 'the corporations'".
For some reason putting everything in first person makes it even more condescending.
A lot of the comments around Copilot seems to be under the impression that courts care about how you "write" your code.
I think this naive at best, why would they and why would the law?

If you have a piece of code that would be infringing if you wrote it in Emacs. How can it not be infringing if it was written by VSCode and Copilot? I just don't see how any court would hand down such a judgment.

What I do think that Github could get away with, is not being liable for copyright infringement in my code if I used Copilot and it gave me some code that infringed. But that would just move that liability to me. Good for Github, not so good for me.
