I'm rather fond of the story of the Pulitzer prizewinning poet Wallace Stevens, who worked as an insurance attorney by day, and did his writing during his free time. He considered his unexciting day job to be something that enabled him to do his writing, by giving his life a stable foundation that left plenty of mental resources remaining for doing what he loved.

Some choice quotes on the subject:

"It is necessary to any originality to have the courage to be an amateur."

"It gives a man character as a poet to have a daily contact with a job. I doubt whether I've lost a thing by leading an exceedingly regular and disciplined life."
Yes, it's boring as hell. But I value stability more than a stimulating job.

If you are judging a single action from someone it is impossible to distinguish between "dishonest behavior" and "stupid behavior" (that's assuming you disagree with what they did), so more offen than not you need to dig deeper and compare what they said prior to the incident and what they have to gain with a change. But to make it clear: it doesn't mean that you are wrong (if what they said align with what you believe, it just means that some people are trying to get the same thing you want for other reasons).
Love this list. This is basically an exact list of my gripes about zig (don't get me wrong, I love zig).

I am not an official voice on the matter but, I suspect cancelling async is likely to happen via some sort of "anointed" frame token/yield system in the stdlib (versus the language). I suspect interface/vtable could also be done in the stdlib if someone contribs a very clean way of doing it, though I would rate that as "less likely" to be in the stdlib vs a 3rd party lib than async tokens.
I’m not going to say that Elastic has no real competition, but as a whole package it stands alone. It’s speed and versatility definitely differentiate it from other similar systems. The fact that it can be a log aggregator, search engine, personalization system, seim, analytics tool, and forecasting tool make it a lot more useful than typical full-text search systems, often which can’t process aggregations or run in a single instance. I think they know their position in the market is strong and that helps them feel empowered to make risky moves with their licensing. I’d rather use anything else, but for interactive analytics (sub second response times on millions of data points) it’s tough to beat. It’s a fussy app to self-host or run in a non-managed cloud environment. I wish them the best, but worry these kinds of moves will inspire more competition from totally other projects, let alone it’s fork(s).
Insurance companies should not be used to invest your money. They are insurance companies. Much better choices exist for investment managers.
They talk about this in their podcast. Malaysia has its own pandemic, and has had to slow the manufacturing down at times.

The Malaysian relationship is thanks to TE though, but that relationship can't make Magic happen

Oh my goodness, you are so right. Every new Spotify update is a freaking disaster. Makes me want to unsubscribe!
> Electron is itself a large piece of code and integrating it would increase the attack surface

At the same time, the most audited code it there. Maybe you don't use a GUI browser.
I'm a musician with a day job. This is a widely familiar approach to a music "career." I've learned to satisfy myself with playing for a live audience and not trying to do any kind of recording or publishing. There are things that a "day jobber" misses out on, such as more elaborate projects that require rehearsals that are held during the day, or anything involving travel. On the other hand I have the freedom to play fairly esoteric music that is not commercially viable.
I fail to see how this would be the case. I think it may even increase opening variety.

I think you'd see many more opening with oddly position a-c/f-g file pawns, or horses thrown into the rail. I think it could make for a radically different game opening game that would be just as diverse as the current game. Perhaps more so.

I wonder if you misunderstood? Since this is very far from agreeing to a draw at the outset. I meant the cake cutting for only the very first move. Not the subsequent moves. Only the very first move played on the board is incentivized to be value neutral.
What have you done since?
Those really should be called Trump boxes.
Tactics used is a place to start. Leading questions, things like "you can draw your own conclusions", blatantly uncredible sources. Taking quotes out of context. A history of being caught being misleading. There's patterns used in frequent misinformation spreaders i think.
The app doesn’t. The iOS camera roll uploads newly captured or saved images when it connects to Wi-Fi.
>One thing I noticed as an English person during my time in the US is that you have less words.

I'm not sure how to resolve the pronoun "you". Are you comparing news broadcasts? Politicians' speeches? Conversations with people in random situations?

When I think of British English, I certainly think of different words, but not necessarily more words.

> In English English we have a dazzling array (sorry, awesome list) of adjectives, often particularly tied to certain nouns.

This sounds horrible!

I assign no value, and indeed negative value, to adjectives whose only value is that they exclusively apply to different nouns. If that's the case, then go the newspeak way and just tell me it's a good/great/bad view. Yes, the verbiage gets more repetitive, but if you're just avoiding repetition by using the correct synonym with the correct noun, why bother?
Any reach into privacy, even while "thinking of the kids" is an overreach. Police can't open your mail or search your house without a warrant. The same should apply to your packets and your devices.

Why not police these groups with.. you know.. regular policing? Infiltrate, gather evidence, arrest. This strategy has worked for centuries to combat all manner of organized crime. I don't see why it's any different here.
The article contains no misinformation because it contains no information.

It's a useless article posted by an organization that would obviously be for the widespread freedom of quacks to post junk without oversight.

Those 2 are having such a tiny usage only over geeks and everyone else are using others with more brand recognition.
You can reduce the electricity that computers need by pushing back against the trend to use the bloated resource-hog that is Electron for every new desktop app, and writing actual native apps instead.

XR, Greenpeace or Sea Sheppard would be valuable routes. You need something with scale otherwise you have no effect.
Exactly. They can be buried, and in many cases should be, but they still need to be there somewhere. Spotify seems to lose one or two useful features per calendar quarter. They're not hidden, but lost altogether.

If you really want your blood pressure pumped up, try the Spotify mobile app under CarPlay sometime. At this point, it lets you do basically nothing. A 1980s-era cassette deck gave you more control over the listening experience, just because its fast-forward and rewind buttons worked.
> When you turn a product liability into an asset, you increase the margins of the primary product, meaning you want to produce more of your primary product.

Which brings up an interesting question: what software product liability can be turned into an asset that increases the margins of the primary software product?

Technical debt, security gaps, defects, etc. are difficult liabilities for me to imagine turning into assets that increase the margins of the primary product. There are certainly external actors who could treat those liabilities as their assets.

Technical debt is great for a consultancy brought in to clean it up.

Security gaps are great for black hats who monetize penetrations based upon them.

Defects are great for outsourced support organizations who manage the ticket flow based upon them.

Without significant scaffolding surrounding those liabilities that far exceeds what nearly any organization I have known is willing to put up (think: US shuttle program levels of scaffolding), I cannot think of lower hurdle means to turn product liabilities into assets. In the manufacturing world, some product liabilities like in the OP's article are waste stream conversions, where the application of more technology turns low-grade embedded energy into some more useful form.

Software "waste stream" seems to demand significantly more technology than industry is willing to accept in most foreseeable futures.
1) Is outside contribution really important going forward? Most of the Elasticsearch contributors are probably already employed by Elastic.

2) Open source doesn't attract new customers. There's nothing special about having software where anyone can contribute freely, that makes it attractive to customers. There is however, something special in making it free to download, setup and use in your own servers that makes it attractive. Which is still the case.
How far are we from automating the job of animators with tech like what makes DeepFake videos?
This is a key insight. One of the things which has most endeared Dorico to me is that it’s the only program in the space which even seems to have had the right approach for this to be possible. They’ve taken the view, from the very outset, that the fundamentals of music are pitch and duration. Everything else we do layers on top of that. By contrast, basically every (maybe actually every, other than perhaps LilyPond?) other program out there takes measures/bars as the starting point. It makes some sense given the historical development of those programs, but because Dorico puts pitch and duration at the core of the program, operations which are extremely-annoying-to-impossible in other programs become trivial. If we were going to come up with the equivalent of a compiler IR, I suspect it would have to start with that insight.

Critically, that insight also works for non-Western music, whereas the bars/measures-first approach encodes a lot of assumptions about the Western musical tradition, and the pre-20th century Western musical tradition to boot! Now: that’s mostly what I write, so I got by just fine with Sibelius for a long time, and StaffPad still does fairly well for me in many scenarios. But Dorico’s model is… better. Deeply better. I hope the other programs figure out how to switch to it over the next decade(s).
>Well you didn't cite anything at all, and were off by a shockingly large number.

Sorry, I am just baffled by your last point here. How can I be off by a shockingly large number when I didn't even cite a number?
Looks more like the axis losing against Russia while the US remained "neutral" (no D day). Nothing there to stop Stalin from invading the entire continental europe.
I had to re-derive it for a perfect cone to be sure. You are correct; at a distance where the size of the cross section of the beam is significantly larger than the source, deviation from inverse square becomes negligible.
Thanks for the link.

... but I'm not sure that would apply here, especially if Apple has a pop-up that the user dismissed a long time ago.
And?

My point about visual proxies was in reference to the OP's point:

> Also, what controls exist on those who have to review the material? What if it's a nude photo of an adult celebrity? How confident are we that someone can't take a snap of that on their own phone and sell it or distribute it online? It doesn't have to be a celebrity either of course.

I never said that a visual proxy/derivitive wasn't CSAM.

I assume your point had something to do with the legality of sending this data to Apple for review?

I'm not a lawyer, and I have read that NCMEC is the only entity with a legal carve out for possessing CSAM, but if FB and Google already have teams of reviewers for this type of material and other abuse images, I imagine there must be a legal way for this type of review to take place. I mean, these were all images that were being uploaded to iCloud anyway.
Thanks, somehow with the headline I was thinking about imagining the old Cygnus text editor running on a PC boosted at 8.45 Ghz and was intrigued but wasn't too sure what ATA had to do with it!
Searching a structured database just isn't the same as having a full on indexed search engine. Those are different tools for different usage.

One party is most definitely not for big government, or at least they claim not to be to garner a large portion of their votes. And, if they are for big government, they've proven time and time again to not give the slightest fuck about managing things that need to be managed, in favor of slashing/redirecting all budgets for more frivolous endeavours.

>neither has solved this when they could.

Yes, this goes hand in hand with their re-election tactics. They complain about something, say they'll solve it, don't solve it when given an opportunity, then campaign again on said issues, and repeat this for decades. It's quite simple and works because their constituency appears to have the attention span of a walnut.

>think a lawsuit is exactly how to solve this.

You obviously don't have the best understanding of how the US legal system works, especially on this level. A lawsuit can/will quite literally drag things out until all involved are pretty much dead/it's too damn late to save whatever the lawsuit was about in the first place.
Mortgage software actually sounds interesting and complex.

Because they put their effort for their reputation and pays millions to hire people to look after their security.

If the "good will" is making them money, I guess you can count on it.

And you think your own hosted version that you're only looking after is that much better?
Actually, refreshing to see someone take the gloves off and tell it like it is. 'Toxic ignorance' (of the willful variety) definitely exists - has repeatedly been demonstrated in all eras of human history - and is definitely capable of creating a lot of misery.

After hundreds of thousands of deaths: Non-violence is a wonderful idea in general, but when someone points a gun at you, it's not the most pragmatic response. I wish that could have been made clearer on Jan. 6.
Yeah I chose it because it was such a contrast with Money for Nothing, illustrating how things changed with MTV.
No shit, but the successful custodians are the ones who have insurance on deposits and enough reputation that people are not afraid of them exit scamming. You don’t physically hold your stocks and cash either.
It's 30 years to recover losses from the high. That sounds bad, but how long to recover losses if you don't count the ridiculous paper gains during the bubble? The point is you're cherry picking to give that statistic.

You gave a statistic that is meaningful only in the context of picking the worst possible date for comparison. Surely you can understand that.

They made an open sandwich recipe with help of common folks. Some were making at home but lot were buying from them as it is a complex sandwich to make. Starbuck started selling same sandwich because it wwas getting popular. Good for customers they have two competing vendors for it now. But ES is unhappy because the multi billion valuation is justified only if they are a monopoly.
Making an irrelevant but true statement about vaccinated people doesn't make the antivaxx stance correct.

Similar manner to drink driving, sober people can also hurt others when driving.

This is about where we draw the line. When it comes to drink driving and antivaxxers they both endanger others to an unacceptably high level.
At the end of the day, CTOs and decision makers in corporations don't go with the company that position themselves as "allies". They go with the company that is shipping important new features, with better support and resiliency. If Elastic is shipping features faster than AWS is, then they'll go with Elastic. I bet most CTOs aren't even aware of the politics happening - it's only the echo chamber in Hacker News that is making a big deal of this.
Yes, the so called diffraction limit. Has a lot of applications in optics.
IM applications are the worst offenders --- they are often left in the background and only for notification purposes, yet we somehow end up with monstrosities like Slack and Teams which use more RAM when idle than an entire computer a decade ago.
Normally you get a blood test if you are over the limit, rather than relying on the result.

The balance is saving lives vs. individual freedom. As a European I probably have a less pure view about freedoms than people in the US.

I almost feel sorry to the official developer as it's so well built. It probably covers most people's needs.

Says who? We're seeing some negative side effects to certain kinds of content flowing through social networks, and perhaps more importantly, from the tech company's perspective, politicians do not actually want them to sit back and not touch this content. If they did that, they'd likely end up getting regulated.

Also, a truly unmoderated social network would quickly become a clearing house for garbage content nobody wants to look at.
Humidity is a major control; low humidity helps fires initiation and spread.
Get involved politically. This is the only way to change anything, but it’s extremely unlikely you’ll have any effect.

Next, as an individual who’s likely richer than average (as a programmer on HN) and has the ability to do these things:

1. Don’t have biological children.

2. Don’t eat meat.

3. Don’t drive a car.

4. Don’t fly in planes.

5. Don’t buy things you don’t really need.

6. Live in small/dense housing.
Devil's advocate: It may not be mostly big organized crime.
It may be hard to fight, because it's not groups. It mostly comes from people close to the families, or the families themselves.

Here's a relevant extract sourced from Wikipedia:

"Most sexual abuse offenders are acquainted with their victims; approximately 30% are relatives of the child, most often brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, uncles or cousins; around 60% are other acquaintances such as friends of the family, babysitters, or neighbours; strangers are the offenders in approximately 10% of child sexual abuse cases.[53] In over one-third of cases, the perpetrator is also a minor.[56]"

As I have said in another comment, the authors did not just copy my short definition but my entire paragraph-length explanation of the concept. I might have let the short definition slide but an entire paragraph is just inexcusable.

I agree that this is not a school assignment, so the nature of plagiarism is a bit different. But you hit the nail right on the head. We should be worried that they are pretending to know something that they really do not. They copied my explanation nearly word-for-word. Doing that does not prove that they actually understand the concept. It only proves that they have copy and paste. Now maybe they did spend some time learning it and looking into, but there is no way to know for sure. The only way to prove that they really understand the concept fundamentally is to make them explain it themselves in their own words. And that is precisely what they should have done.
Is there a real scaling? Like increasing node count on indexing latency or CPU metrics?

Isn’t the net effect of the first also zero? (No net carbon was added to the atmosphere than was there on Dec 31, 2020.)
Freedom of speech is a natural right that just so happens to be enshrined in the constitution. It's very disturbing to see how modern discourse ignores the existence of natural rights. I don't see how the 1st amendment is a tenable position anymore when the government is now actively censoring by proxy. https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/563547-hypocritical-...
I put it like this,
>>the emergence and quality of electric cars
>>the proliferation of nuclear technologies(fission, fusion)
>>the rise of solar, hydro, wind
>>Nearly anything related to space in a way that isn't just telemetry but exploration, production, transportation, infrastructure(because, say if you wanted to make orbital solar array, thats one way, or generally move things that may exploit/pollute the earth off-world to much more sterile environments)
>>enrivronmental chemistry technologies (co2 scrubbing, or oceanic deacidification etc).

>Not only has communication become easier, so has surveillance.

It is a devil's advocate response, but can you explain why this is a bad thing? If communication is scaling and becoming easier, why shouldn't surveillance?
Tell that to the guy who taught Blockchain and cryptocurrency to North Korea. Software is becoming the new frontier of political power projection.

I'd caution anyone making the establishment's life more difficult to tread carefully.
I’m an animator and the complex jobs == production hell. Every facet of the industry is a race to the bottom, just a matter of how insulated you are from it. Luckily I’m in medical animation where things move a little more slowly
In Manufacturing Consent, Chomsky and Hermann argue that the American system of propaganda is more effective than the Soviet one, precisely because there is no commissar explicitly telling you what you can and can't say or any other kind of overt and explicit censorship, making people blind to the possibility that they could possibly be being manipulated.
That's a truly unbearable wiki layout. I can't be the only one seeing the irony of using an awful UI for a wiki about aesthetics?

I’ll take the backup camera even if it costs more than my expected savings on car damages because of the value of not having your day ruined by needing to talk to insurers.

Ouch! Good point. Ph.D. candidates are in a similar boat with the animators.
Well, probably the first time these were flagrantly violated was with the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
Probably not, which is why all but one of them tended to defer to hired experts on many issues instead of spouting the first thing that popped into their head.
