My favorite part about printers is I can pay less for a printer that makes physical objects by moving a plate up and down in a vat of UV curing resin at the resolution of 0.01mm and does so perfectly every time, than a machine that is pretty much the equivalent of banging rocks together to spit ink onto a piece of paper that will still fail more often.
Great work. I guess I'm spoiled already by tools like DataDog because I was clicking on the dashboards and expected to be able to go to the logs who actually generated them. For example, if I see a huge spike in the Requests dashboard at 3am, I would like to be able to go to the logs that generated that spike by just clicking on the spike. Does GoAccess provide access to the logs themselves?
Similar to how users distribute this themselves, near me are stickers by "the white rose"* with Covid disinformation and goading people not to wear masks.

I believe they are self printed as they are often printed on labels and don't come off in one piece.

I assume their funding probably goes back to some dark money org.

* Their chosen name is distasteful: the original white rose were anti nazi activists who were executed, this is clearly not the same.
I feel obliged to note that the version control of TFS (Team Foundation Server) is TFVC (Team Foundation Version Control)
I regularly download the manual prior to making large purchase, such as appliances, home control systems, etc. Checking out the app itself is good too.

For printers, I also recommend pricing out five years of supplies. I bought a printer that cost 5x as much as one with similar specs, but ends up costing less in supplies.
Conda has the advantage that conda packages are typically repackaged from the Pypi package. Especially om conda-forge, they are curated by people with more experience in packaging, that are more likely to use appropriate version pinning for libraries. Furthermore, conda-forge has the ability to create a new build of the same package with improved version pinnings, which typically doesn't happen on Pypi for already released packages.
The embargo has forced Cuba to work out how to maintain civilisation in spite of a lack of resources (and petrochemical resources in particular).

Are there any Open Source, free-to-use Graph Databases that young developers can access and play and learn with?

Are there standards on how a graph database can be queried or interfaced with, that all/most implementations adhere to?

IMHO, SQL took off primarily for those reasons. Widespread use, common standards, and implementations that were easy to approach cemented SQL as the standard used and understood by old and new developers alike.
Elon Musk: 'I don't want to be CEO of anything'
I liked the post and I'm afraid that the author is right on so many points.

Lots of persons seem to be "uninterested in serious personal development", is this by some design or just natural evolution of modern society? I guess it was always like this, but I can also imagine that there are entities (ie, companies, governments, people) that are doing some thing or the other trying to keep the status quo: keep the people in the right state to consume as much as possible...

I can confirm that goaccess databases works great for incrementally regenerating these HTML reports.
We currently pipe all logs from all our ingress-nginx LBs every 15 minutes (and grep by virtual host) to goaccess and thus update its reports periodically. Each month, all reports get archived so we can start with a fresh report again.

Semi live and super useful without having to use 3rd party services like Google Analytics. The HTML report is self-contained (single file) and thus can easily be shared (or just statically hosted).

I’ve been part of a lot of these conversations and it is important to note that there is a significant percentage of employees that want to go back to the office. The trick is how to please everyone. It is easy to say, let those who want to come back come and those who don’t stay home. However those that want to go back say it is because they want to be surrounded by their coworkers. Having gone back to the office voluntarily for a day recently I can confirm that going back while the majority of the team is remote is not the same.

Things seem to be hardest for younger single employees who don’t always have great work from home environments and are also sometimes lonely. Also, some of my coworkers with kids are having a hard time being productive with pressures from kids or spouses that don’t respect the working from home boundaries. Then there are people who can’t manage the work life balance and relied on a commute to tell their brain the work day is over.

Finally, there will always be under-performers who are desperately searching for a scape goat when they fail to deliver. I’ve seen this so many times after an org change, architectural change or anything that will give someone an excuse for failing to preform. These people may or may not like their new freedom but they do like their paycheck and will use any excuse for their poor performance.

Many of these problems seem solvable without forcing employees who want to work remote to come in. I personally love working remote and would never go back to mandatory days in the office if I didn’t have to. I think the trick is for executives to wrangle all of these new challenges at once. It is so much easier to just say “make things go back to where they were” so their jobs can be less complicated. People haven’t been trained how to make this new world work. In a public company it is one more unknown to juggle when they have a responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits.

So let’s start proposing solutions and promoting them. How do we make our execs feel more comfortable to let those who want to work home do so? How do we make it so easy that no exec has to worry about losing their job because they agreed to something that didn’t use to be normal?

That’s how we make this work for everyone.

I’m concerned about your characterization of 2016 election interference. I haven’t seen anyone claim the election was stolen. I do see that our intelligence apparatus in the United States believes the election was interfered with, through Russian amplification of misinformation in support of the Trump campaign, and through direct hacking. This is well documented:

On Vaccines, Lies, and Auschwitz
Alex Berenson explains his thinking.

> And so I tweeted “impfung macht frei” on Friday morning: Vaccines make free. The reference is not to the vaccines as agents of mass death - they are not. The reference is to the lie that vaccines would set you free, if only you would shut up and line up when it was “your turn.” (Remember that bit of focus-grouped nonsense?)

> Now the people who have been mad at me for 18 months for pointing out their lies are mad about this too. To point out the lies is to disrespect the Holocaust, they say.

> I doubt they believe a word they’re saying at this point. Their anger is purely performative. Holocaust comparisons far more explicit than that one have been thick on the ground the last four years, and no one has batted an eye ...

*Update:* Alex was banned by Twitter. I am not sure if we are supposed to defer to Twitter's judgement in all cases. I would think his explanation of his thought process would be relevant to anyone concerned about too much power to shape public communication being concentrated in too few hands. I do not understand the reason for the flag. Of course, I will defer to the mods, but the submission does not seem to violate the guidelines[1].

That's good and bad. On the one hand, it riles people up, on the other hand, it helped elevate the importance of developing and approving vaccines faster than ever before. I do share your sentiment though that it's troubling that the media's business plan is only partially aligned with what's good for the society.

Related thought: we are super mad at Facebook for isolating us into similar belief bubbles. Where's the outrage at CNN and Foxnews? Yes, you hardly ever hear anything positive about them, but there's no threat of regulation, their CEOs didn't have congress hearings, etc.

The author conflates AI and statistical, in particular, causal inference.

A ML model and most of what we currently call AI, is a statistical model. It predicts things, and in the process of "training" this model we can also learn about the world it interacts with.

Anyone who has ever spend any amount of time on the issue knows that the idea of "generalizing" or "adapting"in ML corresponds directly to causal inference. This is not some secret to be uncovered by every other pundit, it's a direct consequence of ML models being.. statistical models. If our AI can understand when statistical relationships hold and when they do not, then it is inferring causality from data. Currently, we are dealing with ML algorithms adapting or generalizing: learning which regularities to "trust" and which to "discard" when the "DGP" changes. This sounds nebulous and difficult, but that's only the case because the models are complex.

Nevertheless, the underlying statistical problem is old. Ancient. Talked to death in every scientific field that tries to do an experiment, to infer some causal parameter from observational data, or construct counterfactuals to guide policy. Similarly, the divide between quantitative and qualitative approaches, are decades (if not centuries) old.

These problems are so well understood that we can state very precisely what needs to happen to make our inference causal. The catch is, that first it depends on the DGP and our model thereof, and further that none of these things can be proven to be true in the same framework. Whether the DGP is as we need it to be, or whether the model identifies what we want, is something we can be confident about given a set of assumptions, but it is not something we can know to be true. And guess what, if the model is complex, then so is thinking about its inferential capabilities.

The discussion seems tired, because it is. It's not a deep philosophical issue. It's a practical one. That doesn't imply there is a good solution to it either, but the basic issue hasn't changed for a long time. Maybe we are not trying to predict a treatment's effect on some randomly selected population, maybe we are instead trying to land a plane under conditions we can barely foresee. But what needs to happen for these two predictions to be unbiased, consistent, low variance, whatever... has not changed.

Researchers are frustrated with these article, because pundit after pundit claims to uncover some general problem with AI or ML in face of reality. But it is not about AI. It's about statistics, and we all want to say: "Yes, we know. Now what?"
Sweden: Despite Variants, No Lockdowns, No Daily Covid Deaths – AIER
Tree shaking is such a well-named concept that I could tell you exactly what it was the first time I heard someone say it, even though they hadn't defined it for me yet. It's such a joy when we can map abstract mechanisms to plain language so easily.
Absolutely. I can’t wait until something with better ux comes along and gets enough traction to make git a distant memory. I do not want to know the detailed inner workings of my VCS data model or 100 incongruent commands to make it work.

As I said: not everyone can work from home. IT? Sure.
"Organic" is just a word, and like many words has multiple meanings depending on context. In the context of farming / food production it means primarily not using inorganic NPK fertilizer, so it makes perfect sense that way; organic fertilizer (compost, manure) as opposed to inorganic fertilizer (for example Urea, Phosphoros Pentoxide, Potassium Chloride). So, sure, all food is made of organic matter, but not all of it is grown with exclusively organic fertilizer.

On the other hand, meeting the legal requirements to call your crops "organic" doesn't guarantee that they are of higher quality or that the farming methods are much more sustainable.
Any developer demonstrating that level of daily incompetence with their basic tools of the trade should never be allowed to write code. The fact that this level of incompetence seems the rule rather than the exception speaks to the rather terrifyingly pathetic state of software, where badly engineered systems end up killing people. Source: firmware engineering consultant that cleans up messes like these for some of the biggest corporations in the world, who build things that will kill people when they fail.

Because that is good advice for want of a better workaround. You act like that is a huge burden, it's typically very easy to do! Searching for a model number and 'manual' will get you to a manual, most manuals are very short and quick to parse especially if all you are looking for is 'will this require an app' or similar.

So, yeah, it is good advice if the outcome is important to you and you dont know a better way to protect yourself from accidentally buying something like that. Unless you know a better way and are holding out on everyone?
They could but Apple will look pretty dumb spending 5 billion on the spaceship only to sell it a few years later for (presumably) a lot less.
Agreed. Real name isn't enough. However, what about real name + other qualifications that go with identity? Relevant education, work history, projects, etc. These things seem like they would be a decent but not perfect filter for expertise in a given topic.

Exclusion and abuse are problems. But those things happen a lot on Facebook, Twitter, etc. already and those platforms seem to still serve their primary use case and be doing okay overall.

I agree that people are still able to identify themselves, but if it's not common practice or built-in as a cultural "feature" of the platform, most people won't identify themselves.

The last point is a good one, but I think that the issue is that it's hard to demonstrate you know your stuff in a short Facebook comment or 140 characters. More crucially, on an anonymous forum like Reddit, uninformed readers can't tell the difference between qualified and unqualified opinions. The best proxies - proper grammar, familiarity with relevant jargon, and unverified statements of qualification - seem lacking.

>> What would that better system look like, for his farm and others like it? He believes it would require consumers to favor food grown nearby, so they can understand and engage with it, see it, participate in it, question and challenge it when needed.

>>"There was huge inflation during WWI, as the government sold war bonds."

I'm not sure of what you are saying there, but it can be interpreted like war bonds is the cause of inflation.

It's exactly the opposite. At war, a government have to use all the available resources for the war effort. That will produce inflation, because the war spending is competing with the private spending for the same resources.

A way to avoid it, is for the government to retire money from the private sector. A way to retire money from the private sector is to sell war bonds to the population. If you buy a war bond, basically what you are doing is promising that you will not spend your money until after the end of the war. Normally you will get some interest for your patriotic sacrifice.

Also, for the gold standard fans out there, imagine what would happen if a government can not mobilize all the available resources of the country because it has not enough gold. That would be the most ridiculous way to loss a war.
I think you got the idea, this is nonsensical to the point of being silly.

"Being biologically white is not yet enough to be "politically white" for the Western old boy's club."

This stands so past common sense, biology, sanity, and reason that I feel it's safe to assume that nobody on the intellectual level of HN readers will loose sleep over it.

The point is the people who throw racial attributes left, and right in politics are so far past the common sense that you cannot expect that they target ears of sane people.

Same here, I spent many years on complex and large pieces of software with relatively little impact, and an 'all nighter' pretty much changed the world for real time video on the web. Pretty weird when you consider that it was mostly gluing together pieces that already existed and adding a small HTTP server.

I haven't been able to replicate anything close to that success in all the years since then.
All enterprises have multiple impacts on society. Many people want their work to tied to an overall net positive organization. That's why so many companies put energy into saying they are beneficial to society. Too bad those statements don't have to be vetted by an independent and impartial rating agency of some sort.

Yes. Everybody wants to believe in strong free will. Everybody. If you accept that one group isn’t entirely culpable for their actions than other groups will get the same treatment (kkk, date rapists, capitol protestors, etc…) Until we can accept that all humans are mostly products of genetics and environment, the push for legal reform will come down to political questions about which sorts of people we affiliate with the most.
You assume that the creator of one of the.. if not the largest open source projects on the planet might not understand the issue at hand better than literally anyone?

That seems arrogant. I imagine more thought & care went into git than you can fathom.
Yes -- same with CPP as well. Fvwm2 allowed you to use the language features of M4/CPP to hold variables and to perform loops on different data, so you could generate complex config files that way, without needing to build that into the core config syntax itself.

However, in fvwm3, I've removed both those modules.

to some extent I'm just regurgitating what the owner told me. the guy was a bit neurotic. he would obsessively compare his prices with all the other local takeout places. there wasn't really a cohesive business strategy in the pricing other than "match or beat everyone else". for high volume items like pizza, this meant playing around with the inputs until they were profitable, but he just accepted that he would take a loss on a few infrequently sold items (although he would absolutely lose his shit if you didn't charge someone for an extra side of ranch with wings).

I'm not sure he was completely wrong though. the bulk of the customers were teenagers and working class families, two extremely price conscious demographics. I'm sure a fair chunk of them would actually go somewhere else to save a few bucks on a routine dinner. getting pizza isn't necessarily "going out" to the working families; sometimes it's just the most cost effective way to feed the family that one night that neither parent has time to cook.
No. The movie claims that the virus was manipulated in a lab, specifically evolved from SARS-CoV-1 (which has only 79% genetic similarity). While this belief is very common in some circles, no reliable sources support it even as a serious possibility. What is now accepted as plausible is that the virus was brought to the lab, either as a live bat (or other intermediate animal), or as a sample, then was inadvertently leaked. It is also nearly universally acknowledged that the Chinese government is not being transparent and is indeed pushing bogus theories of their own (the frozen food theory in particular). That is not the same as the movie being "right," not even in the stopped clock sense.
