Hi HN, Sachin here with Ankit, Praveen, Vineet and Vikrant.

With CueObserve, you can run anomaly detection on business metric data in your SQL data warehouses and databases. CueObserve currently supports 6 data sources - BigQuery, RedShift, Snowflake, Postgres, MySQL and Druid.

CueObserve is open-source (https://github.com/cuebook/CueObserve). Docs are at https://cueobserve.cuebook.ai

Do give it a try and let us know. We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions.
Companies do have a culture though, the reason Amazon warehouse employees have to piss in a bottle can be traced back to Bezos and his laser like focus on controlling costs.
I strongly doubt there is any other reactive programming environment that is easier to teach to novices than a spreadsheet.

One wonders what would happen if you could extend lisp to do reactive programming, and then extend it a bit further to load an excel workbook into an abstract syntax tree.

Zip format is a sequence of chunks too: one file is one chunk marked by a signature, like png chunks, that's why files can be added to a zip archive relatively cheaply.

I think so. It optionally phones home to see if there are version updates. It optionally phones home after a crash. They have to publish legalese to comply with GDPR because those phones to home store audacity version number, operating system and operating system version number, and country of origin (based on up). It allows them to know when it’s safe to drop support for certain operating system versions.
Well, CSX in particular has 2.77 billion in net profit and over 3 billion in cash on hand.

So I think in this particular case, it's pretty fair to disregard their complaints about "labor shortages". I also doubt they're competing with Silicon Valley for IT talent, for example, so their labor costs shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

Your criticism would be more valid when it comes to restaurant business, where margins are slim and companies are small, and less able to weather economic pitfalls.
I don't understand how this would actually work with an impersonated account. The ex's account is going to geo-locate to the ex's phone, not to Matthew's; and the men are interacting with the fake account, not Matthew's actual account.
With some exceptions, you can go back to 1866.

During WWII, some 5c coins were made out of a nickel-free alloy containing 35% silver to preserve the nickel for war efforts. These are identifiable by a large mintmark over Monticello over the reverse.

Before 1892, the nickel 5c coin was issued alongside a smaller silver "half-dime". It's likely the growth of automated coin acceptance machines (early arcade amusements, slot machines, vending machines) really locked in the base-metal coin's dominance.

>The "needy" have no claim on the output of the productive.

Then the needy have no need to participate in, support, and follow the rules of society and might as well support principles of anarchy. Why should they bother with this system they have no chance of succeeding in?

When we decided to form societies and governments, we already decided we were going to work together to help each other out--all this social contract stuff.

The increasingly extreme stages of capitalism we see now has instead recreated an abstract form of survival of the fittest in economics. This has slowly broken the social contract that gave rise to people agreeing to join and participate in societies to begin with. Many are struggling for basic needs, not just wants. Everything is about how much money and capital you can roll up.

If this gets too extreme, for the bulk of the population who aren't doing well (those who have no claim on the "productive") in this abstracted form of survivalism, why not just push for anarchy and revert back to lawlessness and the non-abstracted survival of the fittest?

What do the needy have to gain to follow this arbitrary abstract system they've lost in? They might have a chance of becoming a king in a different structure so they will support other options. If you get enough people who think like this, you will see major changes in government or perhaps complete collapses of societial structures.

Welfare needs to exist, we need to provide for those who can't provide for themselves. If we don't, we risk massive social instability because only the winners will have any sort of incentive to participate. Plus there's, I don't know, being human mixed in there too (maybe it's just me but I feel everyone should have some basic support).

Capitalism can only exist if you can provide the stable societal structure for it to exist within, for property to accumulate, for property rights to be granted, honored, and enforced. For that to happen you need to make sure the poorest participants have some interest in participating in your society and not rejecting it outright. I suppose force is another option if you like authoritarian systems.
Apologies, but I don't see it either.

There was at least one or two vulnerabilities in Android because it wasn't the same code doing those two things. Later they added a signature for whole zip(almost*) instead of previous approach inherited from jar which hashed each file inside the zip individually. That way signature check doesn't need to parse zip headers*.

* Since the signature is put somewhwere between zip headers instead of separate file there needs to be little bit of parsing to locate it and the hash isn't straight forward hash of whole file because it needs to exclude the signature part.

edit: turns out they later also added a version of external signature
Well, when everyone and their dog is buying InteliJ licenses, most people that still care about doing FOSS work for Java IDE end up contributing to Eclipse instead.

Which is a pity, Netbeans is my favourite IDE and still has features hardly replicated in other Java IDEs, including the InteliJ Ultimate edition.

JetBrains would rather sell two licenses than allow for integrated development and debugging of native methods.

> Foege would show up in a village in eastern Nigeria, all six foot seven of him, and the elders would put out the word, Come and see the tallest man in the world! And people did. Foege reckons he once vaccinated 11,600 people in a single day. It wasn’t enough to quash periodic outbreaks.

If only today's governments had the creativity to spark interest in vaccines.

In Romania, people distrust the vaccine, and I believe we're going to have a tough COVID wave again.
Unrelated to this particular scandal and its (likely?) resolution, but, if I were them, I'd immediately fire the guy who was essentially threatening to torture/kill someone in a GitHub issue a few days ago over an alleged copyright infringement dispute (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27891005). Then maybe they can start moving past the last few months of chaos. He's "Head of Strategy", though, so doubtful anything will happen.

[Latest updates to the story below]

A supposedly leaked statement from their "Chief Product Officer", possibly suggesting the death threat is officially approved:

>We put a lot of effort to neutralize his code, and spent a lot of $ and time for this. His actions are total copyright infringement. So I suppose none of us should worry about his feelings.

Response from the threatened author:

>If the statement is real, does it mean my project costs them a lot of money and effort, so it's ok to send a kind of death-threat to me?

The author posted a call for help here: https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/130#is...

>Rather than money, more importantly, I need good lawyers for copyright, immigration status / status of political refugee

I find this orders of magnitude more outrageous and infuriating than the telemetry brouhaha. Based on the actual facts, that scandal seemed a bit overblown despite their poor handling of it. This, on the other hand, is truly fucked up.

Negotiations and bluffing.

I lie to every employer about competing wages.

One time I took a suitcase to my office and told my manager I was away for some interviews. Subsequently told him I didn't feel like I was earning my market rate - this was after my performance reviewed raise+bonus. Gained another 15% that way.
The point is that the people naturally infected were not reinfected.

That stat isn't incompatible. The 99% in the US could easily be the people neither vaccinated nor previously-infected. It says nothing about the risk of reinfection.
Yes, absolutely, and we're really looking forward to seeing the ways people take advantage of that!
I feel like gender identity is not very meaningful as a designation with the advent of seemingly infinite designations on what I have seen described as a spectrum. For example when I read about demisexual or cupiosexual people or people who can change their gender “fluidly”, I can’t help but think these are just newly invented terminology for personality traits, rather than what we typically think of as “gender”. To me gender is only useful as something that is tied to biological sex, rather than what has now come to be called on the progressive left as “gender identity”.

It also seems these new frameworks for describing people breakdown when we confront the necessity of sex specific space like with sports. To that end, rather than trying to forcefully declare various gender identities as subsets of the existing “biological genders”, why aren’t all these simply lumped into a third category that isn’t hierarchically connected to existing terms like male/female/man/woman? It seems like that is what Argentina is going for by having a category X on their ID cards as described in this article. I do worry about the potential erasure of biological sexes - it seems some, like the person quoted at the end of that article, are explicitly seeking to make society completely genderless, which I feel will have many negative cultural and social impacts, apart from simply colliding with more traditional worldviews.
That still sounds like a "your business model is bad" problem.

If you can't pay people a wage to match how bad the job you want them to do is, your business shouldn't exist

> Why would you even need non-shortcircuiting behavior in boolean expressions? Because either side of the operator has side effects that you want to happen unconditionally?

Interestingly, the example provided by slavik81 is able to tolerate non-shortcircuiting behavior specifically because no side effects are involved. It's more of a case of "we don't care about the result of this work, but we have to do it anyway, because it's better to do a lot of extra work concurrently than to do only the necessary work sequentially." And doing the extra work is OK because it doesn't have any side effects.

If side effects were involved, you'd be stuck needing to short-circuit despite the fact that it's slower.

There are also areas in cybersecurity where you'd like the time taken for some operation to be insensitive to the input; short-circuiting is bad there too.
Thanks! It turns out this was on our backlog, but we had deprioritized solving it. With the massive amount of traffic on the site today, the slowness makes it much easier to hit. We're reprioritizing fixing it.

Can we please just stop laughing for a minute? We pretty much dominate the Earth, it's odd you don't think we have been adapting every step of the way and will continue to do so far more competently than almost any other organism thanks to our reasoning power and its fruit, a highly capable advanced civilization. If the next pandemic hits and 7 billion people are wiped out that's adapting too because 1 billion survived. Please stop conflating improving quality of life vs survivability of our specie which is what the discussion about adaptability is always anchored in.

For a pure engineering role things like credits at large companies, online talks, side projects, etc. are all really great ways to get an interview.

I can't really remember the last time I was turned down for an interview.

You're totally right about the other part though. I've lost a lot of jobs I think I could have been great at because I'm really bad at whiteboard coding interviews.
I don't think this is exactly what you are asking, but I find analog computers[1] (specifically mechanical computers) fascinating, especially differential analyzers[2]. I knew of their existence but never really thought about them until reading some books related to Claude Shannon. It's still mind-boggling to me how they work.

Note that since the whole privacy policy fiasco, another issue with Muse Group has come up; my guess is that this is what they're referring to when they mention in the thread that they're deleting "off topic" content.

Muse Group's head of strategy told someone to take down their (allegedly copyright-violating) repository or else supposedly be at risk of being deported to China and then punished for their alleged political speech against the Chinese government.

The irony is that the original MuseScore data being mirrored in the repository is itself full of copyright violations.

Hello there, mr creator nrp-- if ThinkPad durability were 10, how many points would you give yourself?

Thanks for taking the risk and creating this.
UO ruined other MMOs for me, it allowed too much freedom. In the early days, before trammel/felucca split you could attack anyone and take their gear. It really felt like actions had permanence, and you had an effect in the world.

I think most people look back fondly on UO who played it in its prime, but I don't know whether the state of things today would allow something even close to capturing that feeling.

When WoW came out it felt like the game was some sort of theme park rather than an actual secondary world. I couldn't bring myself to get invested in it like I was with UO.

I guess quite a lot of my instruction may have been 'idiosyncratic'.

The way I was instructed, focus on the breath isn't a 'goal', it's a sort of home-base - where you come back to when you notice thoughts (or physical pain, or whatever - it's all 'thoughts'). I was told not to approach it with a goal, and not to look for signs of 'success'.

I think the results differ, even for what appears to be exactly the same practice, depending on your attitude.
"at most a very minor effect on wages" strikes me as deeply implausible. The US has added tens of millions of immigrants in the past few decades. Many of them are willing to work for conditions and wages that native workers aren't willing to put up with. How could that do anything but depress wages?

Nearly 90% of farm workers are immigrants[1]. That has, at most, "a minor effect on wages"? I'm extremely skeptical of that.

Spreadsheets are sometimes more readable than code. It’s harder for certain kinds of bugs to get through when you see the whole program, inputs, and outputs, and all intermediate states at once.

I don’t believe all these authors were racist. “Roughly 40% of Americans claim that they would be afraid to walk within 1 mile of their homes at night… 54% of all participants rated the dark within their top five fears”

Perhaps this would be solved if we used different words to describe skin tone than we did light. If “white skin” was called “wumbo skin” and “black skin” called “mumbo skin” it would be more clear the etymology of which terms were referring to day vs night rather than skin tone.

> Do they check that every cell in a column actually has the same formula?

They just have to check the top cell as most of my formulas are array formulas.

You don’t have to drag a formula down - that’s a common misconception in the latest versions. If you do =A1 + B1 and want to apply it to the 1000 cells below you just write = A1:A1000 + B2:B1000.

That’s still not that readable though, so I’ll apply those cells two named ranges “Sales” and “Taxes”.

Then the formula is = Sales + Taxes once and that will populate the whole column of data.

Then there’s M Code and PowerQuery which literally allows you to review the data cleaning line by line and even see the data state at any intermediary step. It also has

> Python script is something that is possible to be actually reviewed

The problem for me is that, as someone who works in consulting, it can’t be reviewed by my boss or a client, neither of whom can program. But they can review a tidy excel sheet.

And then they can’t edit it either, so if I go on holiday and I’ve built some sort of model nobody else can make progress until I come back, or if I move projects I’m also stuck maintaining the model on the old one.
My issue with macros is that how they are used can vary greatly because it is so flexible. I’ve worked in a codebase where we treated macros like someone might treat C++ templates and it was great.

For example, I think x-macros can be super useful and a consistent way to define certain data structures.

But using macros to define your own special DSL and make C code not look like C code is pretty nasty.

>It’s my biggest criticism of Ableton - they’re built in modules (not really plugins) are as bland as the whole DAW and don’t act like 3rd party plugins.

This is one reason why I like Bitwig. It has fewer/inferior native devices compared to Ableton, but I like the UI/UX a lot more, and I almost exclusively use third-party plugins, anyway. Plus it has plugin isolation so a plugin crash won't crash the whole application.

I don’t even think it needs to be technical. A friend posted a jokey video he made in college introducing himself on his website, beside his resume, and he says recruiters often say they contacted him because the video was funny. He’s obviously qualified too, but it just helps him stand out.
So, experiment on poor black people? I think you are on the wrong forum.
But that's the definition of a shortage of labor. Like you said yourself, the solution to remediate the issue is to stop paying people enough not to work.

It only supports integers so far, which c++ could do pretty much since before it was even standardized 25 years ago. Doesn't seem to support as wide of a type menagerie as C++20's NTTP. Does it even support parametrization over function pointers ?
