A lot of people like living in dense urban places. I wouldn't say they like living like animals.
I actually have even stronger opinion: moderation also doesn't work, but it seems pretty much the only way to slow decay. For example niche forums fare better in particular because moderation is easier with smaller forums and they generally decay anyway as the forum itself grows. And I don't think the moderation skill is learnable either; I (painfully) learned that the founder is rarely a good moderator.
I moved from k3s to microk8s for local development. I gave up on k3s because I needed calico CNI and it was a pain to set up, on microk8s it's just `microk8s enable calico`. I also found k3s a bit too opinionated with the default Traefik ingress and service-lb.
And then it blows up here because HN has a lot of people who are disproportionately upset about default branches being called "main" instead of "master".
The nice thing about the JVM ecosystem (and to a lesser extent .NET) is that it makes new languages a lot easier to spin up and the discussions around them far less contentious because language interop works so much better.

Like, if someone says they prefer Java to Kotlin, that doesn't threaten me at all because I can use their stuff easily. Likewise in reverse, as long as the author of a library actually wants it to be usable from Java it will be. Even stuff like Scala and Clojure where the ecosystem guys really don't care about interop in the reverse direction, it's still possible and can be done when people want it for relatively low cost (just avoiding exotic language features in your API definition, more or less).

It does take a lot of the heat out of those discussions. You don't get the same influx of "I rewrote grep in Rust" type stories.
I'm sorry, are you dismissing all psychology papers?

> A field currently drowning in a reproducibility crisis

My peers have told me that chemistry and biology also suffer from results that are difficult to reproduce, and I've certainly read a number of articles here that decry the lack of reproducibility in computer science too.

> a group who believe that lying and slander is not only okay but should be actively utilised in every goal they pursue.

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what this is in reference to. If it's in relation to psychology experimental methods, then I believe you're incorrect. Methods that involve actively deceiving subjects would be rejected by ethics boards (at least, it would in the UK). On top of that, there are many papers that do not use observations of human behaviour, and so would not find use in lying to them - for example, many neuropsychology papers discuss the physical makeup of body parts.

Psychology has been around for a long time, and some psychology results have deeply influenced society. Some of these papers cover the placebo effect, and various mental health conditions. If you are dismissing all psychology papers, do you also reject these influential papers?

I'm sorry if this reply is a bit full-on, but dismissing a claim's provided evidence by dismissing an entire academic field seems a bit extreme to me.

While Twitter loves to have bubbles crash into one another for engagement, reddit is far worse than you might think for minorities, mostly because their subreddits have little collective voting power.

For instance some trans friendly subreddits that's not primarily about trans people has been continuously raided for the past few months, where lots of people - exceeding the organic voting power of the subs population - downvote posts that feature trans topics in any capacity to make the posts effectively invisible. Then they started sending mass-DMs to further disincentive trans people from talking (I myself got a message from "youdontpass1488", not too hard to see the perpetrators political alignments there). Moderators have near-zero available tools to prevent this from happening, aside from going private which is not really the best option for various reasons.

While this practice is banned on reddit, coordination has just moved elsewhere.
Yes, I was in IBM, some AI in their Research Division, from 1985 to 1993 when IBM had a big crash.

Maybe an old idea I had about PCs has some insight: The idea is that for several years into the rise of the PC, the base, solid as concrete, fundamental, economic productivity reason for the PC was to kill off the typewriters, that is, word processing; as one guy put it, "capture the key strokes". The typewriters didn't "capture the keystrokes" and, thus, were a huge economic waste. Next in line was spreadsheets.

Now the biggie? Okay, replace TVs. We've already essentially replaced newspapers printed on paper; and PDF is replacing a lot of books printed on paper.

The future? See a problem that in terms of economic productivity needs solving, and get one or a few PCs and solve it. How? There is nearly no limit on the new problems to be solved or the new means of solution.
Most people don’t think about the private data on their computer. Most people don’t know how to wipe a computer, and there’s no simple button like there on an iPhone, so they don’t.

You have no idea how much of the stuff you receive is dumped on you after being stolen (or otherwise misappropriated) and judged too worthless to fence.

But we certainly know that only the tiniest fraction of devices go to recycling centres like yours, and so of course you’re going to see mostly activation locked ones which have no market value—and not the other 99.9% of devices where activation lock didn’t preclude second hand sale, trade in, or commercial refurbishing/recycling.

Reddit is not toxic if you agree with the majority views. If not it is probably the most toxic social media.
So other views people leave and so reddit remains a bubble of like minded people that don't see their toxicity.
You can just look at some popular subreddits like iata i am the asshole or idiotsincar or murdered by words, justiceserved to name a few and many other where people just laugh and are being toxic towars other people. Most popular posts are also angry ones.

For a good mental health is imperative to avoid reddit, or at least just take part in tech/thinvs you love, but even there the neagtive and frustrated people will bring their issue there.

BEST WAY TO GET YOUR EX LOVER BACK REUNITE TOGETHER BY (DR. DAVID) AWESOME SPELL TEMPLE (awesomespelltemple@gmail.com) OR DIRECTLY ON WHATSAPP +1(203) 533-9214

Testimony By Debra Tonny. How to get your ex back fast! I was hurt and heart broken when a very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my husband . so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce. he said that he never wanted to stay with me again, and that he didn't love me anymore. So he packed out of the house and made me and my children pass through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back, after much begging, but all to no avail. and he confirmed that he had made his decision, and he never wanted to see me again. So one evening, as I was coming back from work, I met an old friend of mine who asked my husband .So I explained everything to him, so he told me that the only way I can get my husband back is to visit a priest, because it has really worked for him too. So I never believed in spells, but I had no other choice, than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the Email address of the priest whom he visited. awesomespelltempl.e@gmail.com So the next morning, I sent a letter to the address he gave to me, and the priest assured me that I will get my husband back the next day. What an amazing statement!! I never believed, so he spoke with me, and told me everything that I needed to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day, our relationship was now stronger than how it was before, by the help of a priest. So, I will advise you out there if you have any problem contact DR.DAVID, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you..

There is iSH which somehow managed to make it onto the App Store. Only problem is it's emulating x86 so it's not exactly the full potential of the M1.
That's clearly not true because such companies existed in the past and were not "doomed to fail" nor fronts for lies and grifting. The most obvious example was Borland which dominated the 90s with their superior commercial compilers and programming languages, at least for anyone writing Windows apps which back then most people were.
Traefik is probably the best Ingress out there capability wise for now I think. I've written a bit on it[0] before, but IMO that choice is a good one. Even used it to do some fun external-in SSH connections[1]. I also use it to run a multi-tenant email setup (haraka @ the edge + maddy). It's not like NGINX can't run SMTP expose other ports, but Traefik is easier to manage -- CRDs instead of a ConfigMap update.

Right, it is a consequence of continued demand. As demand for ICs grew, increasing investments into fabrication technology allowed Moore’s Law to continue. As demand stops growing, Moore’s Law slows. It’s a socio/techno/economic phenomenon.

Thanks for the links, I didn't see the hackaday post. Half-bakery is fun but also a bit depressing :-)

The point about the self-actuating switches is to make them as close as possible to a conventional switch, for the spouse-acceptance-factor. Also I really hate "tap buttons" for light switches. The next step would be a dimmer, not a using a flimsy rotary encoder (that turns around infinitely and reacts slowly) but an actual potentiometer that moves when you change it remotely. There are such potis in high end studio equipment. I think this idea actually has merit and there is a market for premium haptic interfaces, for example in cars. But it is hard to make a MVP and get a foot in.
I've never got why people don't understand this. Judging people by their intent resolves a lot of ambiguity, for both political sides.

If someone gets up infront of a room of 1000 people and says "hey guys!", clearly intending to reference the entire audience, they're not being fucking sexist.

And if you're standing there with 5 racists showing a pepe flag or an ok sign or whatever random garbage it is this week, then you're a fucking racist.

There's absolutely no need for nuance or ambiguity in either case.

You can argue the toss all you want about how to determine whether someone is intending to do something (it's not like you can read minds so that can obviously have a ton of complexity to it), but if you're starting from a position that people can unintentionally do something offensive then everything that follows is just pointless bullshit. You've just built a trump card for both sides into the argument so they can just scream past each other like morons without contributing anything meaningful.

People who read the room to cater to an audience are never worth listening to, it is a waste of time. But in a corporate talk that is understandable as I think Google didn't have solving the middle eastern conflict on its agenda.

I still think your reaction to his opinion or view is a bit childish. But as I said, understandable in a corporate environment. The mistake was to give this opinion in an "official" position.

You should also refrain from stating your reaction in such a context.

The UK also has private healthcare.

The taxes are quite high; the public services are certainly not shoddier than you can find in most cities in the US.

> The US is the obvious one, but even working remotely from most central or eastern European countries is going to be a better experience and lifestyle than the UK.

It depends what you value (personally I would like to be around people who speak the same langauge, for a start); and as I qualified in my post, whether you are part of any social minorities.
Ask HN: What are interesting ways to use apps like Airtable or Google Sheets?
Apps and tools like Airtable and Google Sheets are pretty impressive for their capabilities, but I also feel a little overwhelmed by the almost infinite ways to use them.

Do you use them (or know of anyone using them) for anything interesting or novel?
I think most views in this thread already presented are valid, even if contradictory, as it depends a lot on the hiring side.

As a single datapoint: for senior positions i will look at all side projects presented in a CV after the first phone screen. However, it can only serve as a signal amplifier for traits established in the CV by experience or education. So if a candidate does not have side projects, we try to get a better signal in a different way. That said, i have never seen someone getting hired because of their side projects (or someone not hired because of the lack of them)--but i have seen us pass on candidates that accidentally provided negative signal with their side projects.

For junior positions having or not having side projects can be a deal maker or breaker.
I'm a professional resume writer and former tech recruiter, and I'd say "it depends".

Does the side project demonstrate a specific skill that you don't have in your day job that can/will be attractive to the hiring company? (if yes, include)

Does the side project have any popularity or adoption that would potentially make it impressive? (if yes, include)

Does the side project demonstrate your ability to solve problems within the hiring company's domain? (if yes, include)

Does the side project show some level of versatility that your professional body of work lacks? (if yes, include)

+ is terribly wrong for string concatenation and people who used it first were illiterate freaks. If I had to chose among my many reasons to avoid python this by far is the strongest one. I'm forced to use formatting operators and string interpolation just to avoid the stupid +

Multiplication for concatenation makes perfect sense: it is commutative, associative, and consistent with mathematical notation. A space would be even better. And the empty string would be great, but maybe difficult to implement if you want to allow multiple-letter variable names, as julia seems to do.

EA and Ionity chargers are capable of up to 1000V. It’s a question of battery size. You can only safely stuff so much power into each cell along with cooling limitations. 230 kW is nothing to sneeze at and ionic 5 sustains >200 kW longer than model 3
Thanks, forgot what they were called. Maybe the state of the art has moved in the ~10 years since I got out, or it's just the part of it I was in (fine art, prints for the magazine to reproduce (also forgot what those were called...)), but correcting to a color checker was manual and usually inexact anyway so I'd cue off of the grey and whatever thing in the image had a tone we'd have a strong expectation of how it should look (again, usually skin).

As you quote they get used in archiving but those also tend to be done under well-characterized lighting and if not, it's something that's worth spending the time to tweak every little thing.

It's a long shot from being able to apply automatic perspective and grey-point corrections plus a little bit of tweaking so the colors look "right" (or as right as possible under the wonky spectral distributions of most lights these days).

I did manage to convince the company to buy the transparency so we could calibrate the film scanner's output.
The reason for the splay tree is because of their dynamic programming properties. When combined with an append-only log, you are naturally pushing the most frequently utilized information to the front, and letting older items fall to the back of the log.

All you have to do to keep an item alive is to access it using a splay tree. Cleanup is as simple as deciding how many older log segment files to chop.

In practical use cases you generally don't even have to worry about potential downsides. The sequential integer insert thing giving you log(N) is so rare. Most live systems are touching tons of items in arbitrary order so the probabilities work themselves out.
Maybe, but I prefer to decide myself and in my case I need to test out different ingress controllers with our product. I had troubles getting Nginx ingress to work on k3s. FWIW project contour is also quite nice and has dynamic config reload https://projectcontour.io/
There are many long term economical effects of burying electric, not only does it reduce exposure to liability (you caused a natural disaster), it also reduces maintenance cost, failure rates and so on. Both customers and providers prefer buried cables, all things being equal. The only issue is that they're more expensive to actually place, so maybe them causing wildfires has finally pushed companies to put the cables where they belong.
> I'm sorry, are you dismissing all psychology papers?

Following the reproducibility crisis they can't be trusted on face value. When used to promote SJW and progressivist causes they can be almost certainly dismissed.

That was in reference to progressivism, hence why I stated that in the comment.

> Ah yes a progressive claim backed up by psychology papers.
The problem is the devops culture that has burdened development teams with having to juggle a lot of complexity. The solution is having some separation of concerns. Development teams should not have to spend a lot of time on devops. That's something that should just work that you buy from someone. You pay for the privilege of doing more interesting things.

Kubernetes becomes a problem when you have people who are not operations people with many years of experience with this stuff trying to do this while learning how to do it at the same time. The related problem is that having people spend time on this is orders of magnitudes more expensive than it is to run an actual cluster, which is also not cheap.

A week of devops time easily equates months/years of cloud hosting time for a modestly sized setup using e.g. Google Cloud Run. And lets face it, it's never just a week. Many teams have full time dev ops people costing 100-200$K/year, each. Great if you are running a business generating millions of revenue. Not so great if you are running a project that has yet to generate a single dollar of revenue and is a long time away from actually getting there. That describes most startups out there.

I actually managed to stay below the Cloud Run freemium layer for a while making it close to free. Took me 2 minutes to setup CI/CD. Comes with logging, auto scaling, alerting, etc. Best of all, it freed me up to do more interesting things. Technically I'm using Kubernetes. Except of course I'm not. I spent zero time fiddling with kubernetes specific config. All I did was tell Google Cloud run to go create me a CI/CD pipeline from this git repository and scale it. 3 minute job to click together. Service was up and running right after the build succeeded. Great stuff. That's how devops should be: spend a minimum of time on it in exchange for acceptable results.
I suspect a pay-to-reply mechanism (even if in token virtual "currency") would improve the quality of discussion a lot. Imposing a psychologically perceived cost would dramatically reduce shitposting, memeing and trite responses.

It will also make classic botnets impossible. Malicious parties would have to procure "currency" in the system and money trail can be hunted largely automated.

Because criminals exist, everyone should lose their privacy.

Great logic! They did the same with privacy centric messenger applications, demanding that Signal and others create and hand-over "master"-keys to decrypt all private messages.

Good luck forcing a DAO or an opensource community running 100% peer-to-peer to do anything.

In the future everyone who takes privacy measures will be made into criminals, and so only criminals will have privacy.
The problem is the militarization of the American police force. I have been on countless raids in both Iraq and Afghanistan and very rarely did we ever do “no-knock” type raids. Most of the time we just surround the compound, throw a banger in the front lawn and ask for the occupants to exit the building. Most of the time they did. So if “no-knock” raids weren’t the status quo in a war zone than it shouldn’t be the standard in American suburbs. This isn’t Fallujah…
