Would be interesting just to breed dogs to chase them ... a lot. Sounds like a lot of work, but interesting idea.

Some studies have found that just "scaring" some prey animals reduces their breeding and encourages them to move around more.
Maybe the product you launched wouldn't have gained traction if you delivered a bit slower or lacked a few of the features? The strategy you used worked, why do people so often say "I got successful doing this, but don't do what I did do this other thing instead!"?
I had a similar experience when playing Kerbal for the first time in high school. I thought that NASA got to the moon by simply thrusting in a straight line from Earth in a way that would intersect with the moon's orbit and boy was I wrong!

But now I've found that most people I talk to about this — that also weren't alive during the space race where this was regularly explained on television — have the same naive idea that you can get to the moon by going straight up at it with the right timing.

Instead, you learn that you need to enter orbit and burn prograde at your apoapsis, burn retrograde at the moon's periapsis, etc. — really fascinating and complex stuff! If the curriculum would've allowed it, I feel like I could've spent a whole semester playing and learning from KSP — these kind of games are truly the top of "games for learning" genre.
The gas stations themselves used to have a different smell.

I remember as a child (in Canada) somehow enjoying the smell when my parents filled up on gas. Which is kind of terrifying in retrospect.
It has no reputation. That's different from a 'clean' reputation, which takes history to establish.
A place where everyone agrees with each other is boring and a waste of time.

If everyone agreed there would be no need for voting, or even for comments. Very rarely do people gang up and down vote someone to oblivion, usually controversial opinions are up and down throughout the day. Plus there is a max amount of karma you can lose from down voting anyway, I think it's 5. It basically only affects new users who are out of line, or are trying to be provocative. I think it's the main thing that keeps HN the best forum on the internet. Well, third best thing behind dang, and sctb.

edit: also, HN is generally geared towards less comments of a higher quality. The biggest example is that if comments exceed votes by a certain amount, the story is automatically dropped from the front page.
> Any situation where there is no electricity supply also means you wouldn't be able to pump gas. You do realize gas stations run on electricity right?

If you are concerned about emergency readiness, keeping a reserve fuel level in a typical gas (incl. hybrid) cars tank that provides more range than even the overly generous EPA-listed range of any pure electric short of a Tesla Model S Long Range Plus is eminently practical. So, if there is a recharging/fueling outage and need to evacuate, gas wins.

I think at their tiny margins one of their major costs in any sort of setup is going to be staff interaction/attention.
Discussions like this remind me of the business card scene from American Psycho, where the executives' cards are all nearly identical, and the main character is practically hyperventilating with jealousy at the subtle "improvements" that are shown relative to his card.

I don't mean to begrudge anyone for their preferences. Personally, it just makes very little difference to me. I want a monospace font for coding. If it has the characters I need, which it almost certainly does, then I don't really care about anything else.
Yes we can - and what people miss, you don't have to be ML only or Human only - it can be Human lifeguard augmented by ML, especially at places like beaches where the horizon to scan is much larger. I suppose the danger is of the human becoming complacent.

As far as training data, if we know what it looks like, we can create virtual scenes that simulate different conditions and scenarios and train on that. Obviously, it won't be perfect but if it gets deployed, we can start getting more real life data and augment the training on that.

Not for lifeguards, but I've always imagined a future vision system that would track me in my lap swim workout. At the end, it would tell me my stats, length swam, times, stroke done (with count) and maybe even down the line coaching my form.

The animals that traditionally hunt the deer aren't aggressive to humans. It's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Most apex predators are hunted out of existence to protect the marginal amounts of cattle they kill. See the great wolf slaughter happening in Montana currently. After they kill off all the wolves, the negative externalities of that action will become apparent, yet again, and the federal government will spend millions rehabbing the wolf populations until some populist conservative decides to decimate the population again. Rinse, repeat.

Ask HN: Good Book on Branding?
I am trying to find a book on branding (creating brand identity, figuring out the positioning and so on) that would be comparable to "Traction" that is a great marketing / growth hacking (?) book.

Meaning the book that has some practical advices and at least a few deep / experimentally derived ideas.

Thank you!
1. I've been using home/end extensively for decades. I had a Windows computer since early 90s and started learning to code on notepad so I never learned ctrl-a/e until later on, so I stuck with home/end. In modern days work laptops are alwasy Macs so in fact I've had to map home/end to work like it does on Windows (go to beginning and end of line).

2. Similarly since I now use a Mac more often than Windows, I just map Caps Lock to Esc. This has been particularly important due to the Esc key having been moved to the touchbar. I've gotten very used to reaching for the location of the Caps Lock key when I need to press Esc.

3. I do use space bars with both hands.
Well, there is a lot of complexity on them that comes on them that could theoretically be removed, at a pretty reasonable cost.

This is the original idea behind IDEs, in that they would come with everything set-up, and you could just jump into the code. But we lost this, maybe because of the web, or the great IDE extinction of the 00's, or the proliferation of non-integrated OSS, or some other thing that happened at the time, and now IDEs are about as hard to configure as a normal build environment.
Feasibility study concluded in Sept 2020 (it started in 2019)...but lots of money has been spent already and with little to show for it.

The MBPDX organization was started in late 2017...and they still don't even have a "team" listed on their website.
So your comment just made me think about this differently in a new context of limiting the artificial scarcity. There is a store near me, that has bins and everything is one price. It drops each day of the week and resets on Friday to $10. The lowest day is 0.50 cent. The store is selling all Amazon and Target discarded items. I go on the $1 and 0.50 day and can easily buy enough food, clothes, cosmetics and household goods to survive a week for like $20, if not less.

So realistically it's a decent way of managing the excess and providing equality.

They don't sell like produce obviously but the food is almost never expired only expiring soon sometimes.
> I know the reason they have to do this is that having a reasonable title won't get any clicks

A title that says its conclusion is less interesting to me. First if I know the conclusion then what's the point of reading the story and secondly the story is more likely to be an influence campaign than an actual researched opinion.

For example: "What are public utilities and how it applies to Big Tech" sounds a lot more like an article worth my time reading.
Reminds me of Tahoe-LAFS https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs
I suspect it was a mix of a couple things. Here’s how it went: 1. I exhausted myself to a fair degree when I first swam out in order to get past the point at which the waves were breaking. Once I was in a calm area I began to rest and catch my breath. 2. I began to feel what I can only describe as a slight panic attack when I noticed that the current was behaving slightly like a rip (a current pushing away from the shore). 3. The cold temp of the water mixed with the newfound anxiety and my exhaustion began to make me feel shorter and shorter of breath. 4. At this point I was in full panic mode and started using all of my energy to get back to the shore or at least to the point at which the waves were breaking to carry me in.

So I think in general you could categorize it as an inexperienced swimmer because I couldn’t spot the rip from the shore but I don’t think its always so obvious since even a small one could carry you away.
> Edit: Seeing your use-case, this should probably be part of the whois records.

absolutely, assuming people subnetting to their customers delegate the space in the whois accordingly

(they do have an incentive to do that -- prevents all of their customers being banned if one misbehaves!)
I'm surprised dang isn't on this like flies on shit because usually when we discuss downvoting brigade he links us to the guidelines and hem-haw's around how we shouldn't be bringing it up. I've seen The_Donald be handled with more decorum than this place - and I've been here for over a decade.
Paraphrased:

I don't see any pedantry on my part. Also, this:

> [...] and can be done once then saved as a VM or Docker image to be cloned

is like that infamous HN comment proclaiming that nobody needs Dropbox, because you can simply "get an FTP account, mount it locally with curlftpfs, and then use SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem". The original question asked about a simple command to configure a complete environment.

I can't realistically imagine the FBOs (fuel providers) at many airports providing a type of fuel only approved for C172s with Lycoming engines.

I fly out of Boeing Field (KBFI). Often the FBOs have issues with their fuel trucks or simply don't provide service. You have to taxi to their ramp. The wait can be significant - and that's with just one type of 100LL fuel.

Sometimes it's better to fly over to KPWT (Bremerton National), an uncontrolled airport, and use their self service Avgas station with a credit card.

No, but they help my gaming mindset. The majority of the issues arose when someone fell off of a tube in water too deep for them, so that's what I optimized for. I'd probably be a terrible life guard but I do just fine at the "game" version.
Learning and training are not hobbies, it's something that many people don't have time to because they're overworked. If someone takes 10% of their work time to learn, at the end of a year they had the opportunity to learn a lot. If you just learn barely enough to finish your task, yoi never get deep knowledge about something - that's how I often feel.
You're not too late. Do it! You'll learn more along the way. You don't need to be first, you just need to be good.
I think the case was more intended to point out it's no different than choosing Go or Javascript, in terms of developer affinity (the size of community is part of what the article is intending to address).

Personally, I find Stackoverflow's surveys pretty useless. Python has 73% "loved", which tells me...what? That 73% of Python developers like Python. But what else do they have experience with? Is this just objectively "I like Python", or "I like Python more than X"? What is X? For those who don't "love" their language (which really just translates to "they have not expressed interest in continuing to develop with it", based on what SO gives us), is it because of another language capturing their imagination more? What languages are those, have they actually used it in the past in production, etc.
Look at the post further up were a poster pointed to http://spotthedrowningchild.com/ which uses videos.
We're already messing up the balance massively by existing.

The point here is to reduce the harm we are already doing.
Even if not, the way it's written does still make you wonder.

Also, except for brief mentions of Flask/Django/etc practically nothing has anything to do with Python specifically. Python is useful in the areas mentioned, but this article contributes absolutely nothing to help understand that.

Nothing to see here; move along.

NAT (standard one to many SNAT) is absolutely a firewall. You can't connect to the machines behind it from outside, which serves the exact same purpose as a default deny inbound firewall.

Proteins have a half life of ~24 hours. CJD has an incubation period of roughly 10 years. If de novo PrP synthesis was somehow halted, the likelihood of developing CJD would drop to zero.

On the other hand whatever job PrP was doing will also cease getting done, and its downstream pathways will be disrupted. So there are likely consequences.

Now if you could totally shut down PrP synthesis for like a week, then turn it back on, that might work. In theory this is possible using a tet-expression system [1], but I've never worked with a tet system that wasn't leaky. The only sure way would be to KO PrP genes from all cells, then CRISPR it back in a week later. Oh, and I'm talking about cells in a culture dish; this strategy would never work in an adult human.

When I was at university in Cape Town, the IT department started rolling something like this out for main campus network, but didn't necessarily tell everyone. I remember one day getting spammed emails from a compute cluster I managed because of failed root ssh logins and was totally confused how IPs from China were able to connect to a network I thought was internal/private to the university.

There ought to be better ways, if any is needed at all. Downvoting should never be free and unlimited (having requirements is fine, but only involves a bit more time and effort to the would-be disturbance), most of the time it turns into bashing opposition of the consensus, which is turns out to be wrong too often to permit it. Self-reinforcing mere beliefs without evidence or proofs doesn't make it any more valid, but hinders discussion completely. Not too long ago there was some drama about a fork and some harrasment allegations, and see how it turned out (still zero evidence about anything at all), yet anyone doubting was downvoted away. Also, I'd argue the ability to give "thumbs down" itself already is a child-cuddling system. I don't understand the need of such things at times, chronological sorting of parent replies may not be the most time-efficient for readers, but it's the most natural.

Yes.

It's difficult to be part of a group where the expectation generally is that you're well compensated, in high demand, companies competing for you with multiple great offers etc. - and you're experiencing none of this yourself. Especially over the last few months there's been a lot of talk about how hot the job market is right now - going through an unsuccessful job search at the same time has been tough (several months, zero offers).

Another part of it is your own expectations of yourself. If you were doing great earlier in life (e.g. school/university), it's a very humbling experience to find yourself on the low end of the distribution.
I can type with my thumbs but it's far slower than using my left thumb and right index finger. I am almost 50.

However, what does that have to do with 2 handed use? Thumbs typing is also 2 hands. Or you mean typing with 1 thumb? I see people, especially Chinese, writing on their phones with 1 thumb and holding it with the same hand (so 1 hand use); you have that too with swipe keyboards though for western languages. This us definitely not faster (or, for me, nicer) than just typing with 1 thumb and 1 finger.

Curious what other people do... I am on a tetras on a busy street now and wasting what (very) young people do: I see them all typing with 2 hands, two thumbs.
I highly doubt this is as complicated as persistence.

1) even on mobiles you still get the occasional webview or other core library update and need to reboot to complete the patch.

2) modern versions of Android use per-file encryption. Periodically rebooting flushes unencrypted buffers.
It’s about half of what you’d need to comfortably go without gas the vast, vast majority of time. The Chevy Volt has about the right plug in electric range (50 miles) for a future where we have to basically synthesize all fuels.
> This is beyond stupid, of cause there's no demand, the average user isn't even demanding an IPv4 address.

In other words: the demand is for connectivity--or rather the services being connect gives you, like the ability to view YouTube videos and see tweets--not for addresses.
Oops, good point. What I said still mostly applies to Tahoe though.
Don't bet on that. Countries do such things all the time. Japan probably wouldn't, but the US has plenty of manufactures that would love to shut down a competitor, or maybe Germany decides to shut one down. Even California could decide hydrogen is the only way to meet their emissions.

Such things have happened, though it is rare.
The over-under on good testers versus bad ones is at least a factor of three wider than good versus bad developers. I think a lot of backlash on QA is based on worst case scenarios.

At a company that didn’t have remote workers, we let one QA person work remotely because she was that good at her job. She was finding more bugs than the next two people combined, and we had three people we considered to be “good”.
Who is screeching about it? Why care? I use subprocess where it makes sense. That's good enough for me.

Author here. Glad you like the banner image and the zooming effect :).

Perhaps I miscommunicated what I took away from the StackOverflow survey. The point that I was trying to make was that in relation to other programming languages in the survey, Elixir ranked high with regards to how loved it is. The StackOverflow survey is just one data point in addition to the others that I bring up and like many surveys has it's own issues (like WebAssembly being a compilation target as opposed to a programming language the people program in).
An inflexion point can go either way, the question is have we already passed that point with v6 or is this the start of a decline that ends with it failing to replace v4? (Stealing this from Geoff Huston, see page 41 of his presentation [0])

Well, a lot of laptops these days have TPMs that can store disk encryption keys. BitLocker on Windows, or an exotic dm-crypt setup on Linux.

However for a server, the chance of a thief getting a disk and the HSM at the same time is low; and you really don't want to have to enter a password every boot. So the HSM design delivers some benefits worth having.

Whereas for a laptop, you can easily type in a password; and the chance of a thief snatching the disk and TPM at the same time is basically 100%. So there hasn't been a big push among Linux users to start using the TPM.
It's surprising how little syntax is here. It's even less code than Svelte.
Sorry about your problems but I'm impressed you can engage in high risk drinking. I over indulged a few times in my 20's but as I got older even casual drinking started seeming more and more like work. I'm in my 50's now and a glass of wine at home is more bother then I can manage. The only times I've had a glass is when I'm out having dinner and I don't think I finished it the last time that happened.

I remember when I turned 40 asking a slightly older friend if I'd still be able to party late into the night. She said I'd still be able to I just wouldn't want to. 50+ has been that extended to so many other things that I'm pretty sure I used to really enjoy.

The headline sounds scandalous, but the article leaves me thinking that the system works.

Better to move it forward with good enough data and course correct than to wait for perfect data.
