In fairness discord has this same problem, but saying “don’t create a discord or a slack for your community” is kind of… not really realistic.

Does matrix / someone else solve it? How?

I don't understand how anyone can stand that crap. Like what kind of person sees statements like the ones you quoted and thinks it's a good thing?
The Blue Card exists separately. This would be the US equivalent of H-1B (without the lottery) and the Blue card would be equivalent to EB2/EB3.
> If scientists can't tell good studies from bad and yet use the results of these studies, then in my mind those scientists are simply doing bad science and are adding to the problem, since their studies will also be bad.

Yes, I completely agree with this.

> They can wait till the results are independently replicated,

Yes, this would be ideal. A mechanism to trace replication history would help. Most studies though never get replicated, and don’t replicate.

> or replicate them themselves.

In very rare cases, perhaps, but in general this would be impractical.

> In summary, using bad studies isn't fundamental

How can you be so sure? The reason science is done this way is due to human behavior and incentive systems which have never so far escaped this problem. You are comparing against an ideal which has never existed in reality.

> unless you're fundementally doing bad science

This is how science is done. It is certainly fundamental to the current practice of science.

> that can't discern good evidence from bad.

This is a false dichotomy. Evidence is not binary. Science is much less able to distinguish strong evidence from weak evidence than in your imagined ideal, but then again, your imagined ideal has never existed,

> The "surprise" you are attributing to my comments is essentially amazement at the idea that people trained to seek knowledge would be so careless that they take the results of studies as a base truth with which to continue their work.

Are you feigning the surprise as a rhetorical device or do you really not know how science works?
Somewhat related I hope. Does anyone know a resource guide to learn methodically about GPUs? Let me see if I can explain my frustrations:

1. The usual recommended books for beginners, although good miss what I need, yes I love building ray-tracers and rasterizers but I can finish the book and not have the slightest idea about how a GPU actually works

2. Books like H&P although excellent, treat GPUs as an after-thought in 1 extra chapter, and even the content is like 5-10 years behind.

3. The GPU gems series are too advanced for me, I get lost pretty quickly and quit in frustration

4. Nvidia, AMD resources are 50% advertising, 50% hype and proprietary jargon.

I suppose what I want does not exist, I want a guide that starting from a somewhat basic level (let's say assuming the reader took an undergraduate course in comp architecture) methodically explains how the GPU evolved into a complete separate type of computing architecture, how it works in the nitty gritty details, and how it is been used in different applications (graphics,ML,data processing, etc)
> If brackets being stored as @[NUM]# turns out to be common I could handle that too

I was unclear: The PDF's publisher decided to print the character '[' using the character code for '@' and a font choice that made '@' look like '['. The text content in the PDF did not match the displayed content. These kind of bizarre publishing choices make automated processing of research literature pretty frustrating IMO, so if you decide to just handle well-formed PDFs (e.g., LaTeX output) I think that's reasonable.

Re: zoom & pan in the helper window: I meant zoom & pan post-capture, but I can see how re-capturing is a solution. I was resizing both windows a lot while testing so my portal captures were very inconsistent, which probably isn't the intended workflow.

Thanks for working to make reading research and technical documents a better experience.
I watched the youtube videos of all the battles so far and I was really surprised to see that a very simple strategy (in retrospect) was sufficient to win the competitions.

I've been waiting to see if someone implements an AI bot that's trained on all the bots in the competition but maybe you just don't need to.
Even on the beta of the next Safari?
Are there any sites that attempt to describe exactly what's wrong with Skype? I've been using it for years and haven't observed anything outright wrong with it. Is particular functionality broken or something?
Well, they could still have opted for something proprietary, weird and broken. See for example the De-Mail desaster[0] and the beA desaster[1]. Both supposedly better and secure email/messenger replacements with huge problems like lacking end-to-end encryption, design problems, laughably lacking security, high cost, low adoption (except were required by law), no usability, etc.

I'm really glad that at least someone here might have learned from those mistakes.

Buddhist philosophers would agree with you. See Yogacara and Madhyamaka schools, who both agree that the ordinary appearance of the world is akin to a magical illusion.
Fast charging speed is not a Tesla thing since a while. An etron or a Taycan charge very fast for example.

Yes a Chademo 10 years old Leaf charges slowly, but a Tesla model s from the same time does too.
Conversely, when I worked at a gasoline-only gas station, I had the location of the nearest diesel providing ones memorized for those who asked.

It doesn't. They are in the end just typedefs to the basic types like int, long, etc.
Like many things, it's about quantity.

Nobody would mind if there was one place on Earth which we would pollute in an extreme way. The problem is when we are polluting all over the place.

Now imagine if every major city started doing weather engineering.

It's unlikely that we would be able to have a giant effect, there is only so much energy we can put out, but local consequences could be pretty drastic. OTOH, local consequences will kind of fall in the same country.
Question! Is there any reason this technique could not be applied to solve the Oregon wildfires?
Look at the state of Vulkan drivers in practice, the "fastest" ones in benchmarks of actual AAA games do tons of work that was supposed to be done in userspace (like, that was the whole point!). I agree in principle that it's important to have an API expose all the ugly low level details, but doing so and then telling people not to actually use it is pretty much obviously going to result in a suboptimal compromise like what we have today. Of course people are going to try to code against vanilla Vulkan; I think things would be different if it had shipped side by side with something like a robust implementation of WebGPU, so people who weren't able to use big name game engines had something to fall back on, but that's not what happened.
Great [0] !

Anyone can comment on how this is going to be used ? What are people using matrix for in the German healthcare system context ? The full plan document is in German (which I don't speak).

[0] and you can check out my history to see I am not a die hard matrix fan, far from it.
Personal favourite Neudeutsch phrase, I heard a while back:

“Mein Schedule ist arsch-tight”
I think that was the right approach. Let some standards battle it out so that some bureaucrat isn't designing a high voltage connector. Once a clear winner was emerging legislate everyone adopt it and allow some time to transition.
Ah, I skipped that one. Thanks for the correction.
In my ideal world, we'd get rid of pennies, nickels, and quarters, and go to dimes and 50¢ pieces, only. And maybe dollar coins, I dunno.

I'd also be open to getting rid of everything but quarters. There's damn near nothing you can buy for under 25¢—hell, it's getting hard to find much under a dollar, with tax—and that's just gonna get worse every year. Rip the band-aid off and make the quarter the new lowest denomination.

Online inflation calculator tells me a penny in 1913 is the equivalent of 27¢ today, so, yeah, let's go with the second option, actually. It's simpler. Quarters and maybe dollar coins, get rid of the rest. If we start working on it now, quarters might still be worth picking up off the ground by the time the policy's in effect.
It works fine for me now. Please do let us know if you are still unable to access it.
That was my first question too. Sounds like their focus on tangible facts (many of which I presume could come from other documents) also helps mitigate the risk of being gamed.
The problem is that some of them are already pretty crowded on a consistent basis. For example, I drove from NYC to Wisconsin a few times, every time the Maumee, OH Supercharger is full. There's not really any alternatives to it without going really out of the way. I worry that opening the chargers to all EVs might make it even worse.
And anyway, it all comes full circle, because "out" and "of" both have Germanic roots (google "etymology some-word" and you don't even have to go to any specific website, Google already showing a nice graph). Box has Greek/Latin roots, and German has plenty of those too (List of German words with Latin roots: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_lateinischer_Lehn-_und_F...).
Taycan max is 270 kW. It does require using the 350 kW cabinet, but it can't max it out.

Huh... what folks need is a way to rollup their copper wiring and take it with them at the close of business.
Did McDonalds ever adopt the ones with built-in cleaning systems?
This comment will identify the core issue:

Feature creep expressing as bloat.
The figure is not true, it used to be 51% for income above a certain amount (I think 60000?) but now it's 49,50% for income above 68000. Even when it was 51%, you would have to make more than 500,000 for the total taxes to be exceed 50%.

Anyway, what's chilling about it? You're phrasing it in a very weird way, the state doesn't own labor. It is due taxes for its services rendered.

The Netherlands is ridiculously rich and the government takes very good care of its citizens. I think it's hard to imagine for Americans how much value we get from our government. Traveling from The Netherlands to the states. Even your richest cities have poor people hungry, suffering and distressed just camping around everywhere. I'm not saying we've got it perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the deal we got.
Does way more than that. Digger manages state on the backend and runs it. So it's a bit like "CI for your infrastructure". With versioning, rollbacks, etc. You can connect your infrastructure repository and Digger will export generated TF to it and also pick up overrides from it. So it's end-to-end flow.

You still need lots of DevOps knowledge to use Terraformer. None needed with Digger - you can ignore this part of your stack entirely, until you need to customise smth specifically. And then you actually can customize anything.
They require banks to file notices of some transactions from non-KYC’d sources

But not from sources they’ve assumed to be KYC’d

The notice merely gives the government paperwork to make their job easier if an investigation begins. It doesn’t begin the investigation.
Planning and estimating large-scale software projects
Also listening to radio. Music. Reading books.

Off the commute: Fishing. Tinkering. Painting, writing. There's probably more.

People converse much more and in bigger groups than before, but not as face to face.
Most people in villages do not own any land, not even an inch of it to plant a single tree.
> We know nothing about what they actually are doing yet we’re acting like they’re going to suddenly be switching to ccs

They're doing it to get government subsidies. Governments aren't going to subsidize chargers that only charge one brand of EV, which is proper and correct:

https://electrek.co/2021/06/24/tesla-confirms-plan-open-supe...

Tesla has already switched to CCS in Europe. All other manufacturers have switched to CCS in Europe and North America. It would only be sensible for Tesla to switch to CCS in North America as well.
One reason you already mentioned, you have to run it. Slack is run for you.
Well we do have "von Haus aus" but it's less formal and can't be used as a 1:1 replacement because of the grammar.
>> More than half a century later, Grissom’s name has faded from memory... Grissom deserves recognition not as an unlucky footnote but as a genuine hero.

He was also very personally involved in the design for Project Gemini, which certainly had its flaws but is underappreciated IMO. It ends up being seen as simply a stepping stone toward Apollo, but it had actually had a bunch of very interesting design goals of it's own: very precise and controllable landings (including, in earlier plans, a fold-out glider with the pilot's windows facing forward for landing), the beginnings of space stations, much faster turn-around time and more modular design than Mercury, etc.
When English idioms are translated to other languages it's often cringe-inducing. I can't imagine someone seriously saying "ut ur lådan" or something in Swedish.
Then by all means mention the project.
To me, what matters in this specific answer is not the side project, but the learning opportunity and associated curiosity.

All bonus points, especially if the company uses k8s or if you can answer aptly "why did you choose k8s?"

FWIW, I'd expect 3 kinds of answers: 1. "This was a right fit because..." 2. "I knew this was NOT a right fit but I wanted to learn" 3. "I thought it was the right fit but I was wrong because..."
Same data, different conclusions in hypothesis testing
One of the contentions is that skype evolved from an utilitarian entreprisey chat/voice app into a wannabe social network.
In my experience, many of the negative effects are greatly reduced. When my dad first brought back a box of PG Tips from a work trip in London, I discovered I could drink like, ten cups and still function. Only moderately burned out.

If I had drank the same amount of coffee I'd've needed to lay down. It was great for all nighters playing Halo multiplayer.

All this time I thought tea's superiority was due to it having "more hydration" or something. This is so interesting to know!
I think it depends on just how senior this position is. Senior developer, sure. VP of engineering, no. Team lead, maybe. If you list side projects, it needs to scale with your position. A VP's side project would scale up to a viable business of its own, which then is no longer a side project but a work experience entry in the CV.
Watching the Watchmen
The un-hip companies tend to have the most money.

In any case, I never saw Slack as a 'cool' app, despite needing to use it at work for several years. I have only ever heard breathless hype about it, and often wonder if I'm using the same Slack as everyone else. Do people really get that excited about having a channel that updates with the status of your Jira tickets?
Yes, when you were learning to develop in the 80's. This has a slight undertone of bootstrap lifting and a total lack of empathy for people who have little access to stuff that is thrown out like trash in the west. Use your brain.
it’s also not just the shade. for some reason plant cover is significantly cooler than just shade. i am not sure why
Yes very true, we are aware and mindful. We have a number of open-source "Targets" (template generators) plus allow customers to use their own. But that has to be configured explicitly.
I have j7 max with android 8. IIRC termux should run on android 5+ maybe try to install from fdroid or search older apk versions also there is userland app that you can try.
Are you only thinking of the equation a + b = c? Maybe in this case it is limited, but if we try anything like a + b + c = d, then it might be quite a large list to check, no?

According to the website below, there are 5,454 four letter words, 12,478 five letter words and 22,157 six letter words (assuming one stops at six letter words).

If we allow well known names (sports stars, movie stars, presidents etc) then this list might become very large.
I have first-hand accounts from ukrainian refugees/comrades telling me about how it was on the streets, and how the far-right movement in Ukraine was strongly divided between those siding for Ukraine as part of a nationalist stance, and those siding for Russia because it was seen as the strong authoritarian hand they wanted.

They have even explained in length how Ukraine's government has since the civil war incorporated Azov and other nazi militias into a kind of national guard / para-military organization which now greatly threatens social/political activities on the streets.

That sounds plausible to me, unless of course these acquaintances have lied to me about their actual experiences of a civil war, but i somehow trust them more than imperialist media whether from EU side or Russia side. Disclaimer: these acquaintances of mine were on the pro-Ukraine/EU side, some of them fought as part of civil militias before becoming refugees.
Many third-world countries use a mobile phones, and some use paper to practice and learn to code. Especially at the start of this online class, many people struggle with their internet connection.
Could this be used in California as an additional fire extinguishing method?
I noticed when I switched from cream to oat milk, the coffee hits a little differently. It feels stronger. I'm not sure if its some interaction with milk. But paper should consider what is consumed with the coffee too. Some people will add sugar, and some even add butter.
Congratulations on the launch! I personally think that any product that attempts to simplify the experience around AWS is a worthy endeavor - which is why there are a lot of companies popping up trying to tackle this.

I personally have a lot of interest in this space and used to work at AWS. Feel free to contact me at the email in my profile if I can ever be helpful.
> “Journalism" also isn't monolithic enough to warrant the accusation that the trade itself is lowering its standards across-the-board.

It certainly feels that way to me. There are still holdouts of really good journalism, like Reuters, but even the likes of the New York Times seems to have significantly degraded. Good journalism seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
If I am trying to hire someone into my team, I want to make use of all relevant and appropriate signals that can help me make a better decision. I consider side projects to be an appropriate and often valuable signal.

While it is unfortunate that side projects have some selection bias against those who are time-poor, it also feels wrong to me to discriminate against people who can demonstrate their skills and impress through their side projects.

Like, if there are two candidates and all else are equal, and one has a really impressive side project that demonstrates positive traits (whether it's technical expertise, novelty, relevant skills, or communication/community), it's going to be hard to... actively ignore that?
Has anyone actually read the paper? I hit a paywall.

And the abstract doesn't even give enough information to describe what they actually found. It gives p-values, but not effect sizes.
How's your sleep?

Once I stopped drinking caffeinated soda my sleep quality improved massively. I was drinking it at least 8 hours before sleep, but apparently caffeine works close to 12 hours.
So excited to be part of Epsilon3 and helping so many awesome companies with their testing and operations.

I hope everyone saw the recent epic Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic flights. Those are just the first small step in what's to be a very exciting future. Epsilon3 wants to eventually help so many more people go to space. Now that we’ve had two billionaires go up to space, maybe someone in the HN community can be next?
I strongly suspect that it's not the $5m/yr these companies are spending that's doing it; there's basically three other camps who push (directly or indirectly) for this:

* Special-interest groups whose preferential tax treatment might be threatened if there's a push to simplify the tax code (as having the government do the taxes for you kind of requires the taxes be simpler to do so).

* Ideologues who hate government spending but don't think that tax cuts count as spending.

* Anti-tax crusaders who want to make filing taxes painful so there's more grassroots support for cutting taxes. (Think Grover Norquist here).
There must be a typo somewhere in your comment, I don't understand how 350/week for 5 months is better than 500/month.
They do not know everything here in Sweden either but they still give you prefilled forms with what they do know (based on what other parties like employers and banks have submitted) and then you can add the rest yourself plus add corrections if you disagree with them. Seems less work and less back and forth.
I can only speak for myself, but I've had co-workers who've corroborated my experiences:

* Slow startup, slow everything

* File uploads work maybe 50% of the time

* Calls are frequently dropped

* Sometimes will just flatout stop responding and crash in the middle of chat or a call.

* Resource hog
I’m surprised nobody raised the issue of re-wrapping opened boxes…
Why don't we just put the summer Olympics in Athens? There's already infrastructure there, and the Olympics originated in Greece.
I think personal projects help you get your foot in the door but they do nothing to accelerate or skip parts of the interview process.
Navigating to a web page is so much easier than installing an application. Even with modern operating systems like iOS. Despite the fact that web pages are getting more and more bloated, applications are like 10x bloated. And it's even officially supported. Modern Android application require embedding something like megabyte of various "compat" libraries. I don't know how iOS state of things is, but in the past Swift runtime was required to embed as well (you could avoid it with Objective C, but that's so out of fashion).

Another factor is cross-platform apps. Web app is still the most cross-platform solution. Also you can create and update web apps without gatekeepers approval.
Before I left the USA, I would special order stacks of $2 bills by the thousands and use them for tipping (particularly at bars) and to hand them to friends and acquaintances. It's crazy how much more people appreciate being given a $2 bill vs two singles. People save them and keep them as lucky charms. I got the best service when know as the guy who tipped in twos.
Perhaps with the entire hood/exhaust and fire suppression system. But not a simple two basket fryer. When I bought mine (new) in 1995, they were roughly $3K. And this had a built-in filtering system.

Actually, to spend $50K on a fryer system is pretty hard:
