Often the one being called lazy is lower status and less powerful who has no intrinsic interest in the work, and the one calling someone lazy is the higher power authority figure who wants the work done.

Runner vs Coach - in school if you're being forced to run and hate it, the coach shouting at you and the threat of punishment keeps you going (is that the same as it removing your laziness? Is hating running really being lazy?). But in the case of an enthusiast competitively running, they might benefit from the coach holding them to a higher standard, but are they really someone who isn't willing to run without external motivation?

You might imagine a couch potato on welfare as a lazy person. Even then they will likely get up to get their welfare money, get food, use the toilet, go to sleep. When they have reasons they care about to do things, they do. If they literally don't get up to use the toilet or eat, we generally call them depressed or mentally ill rather than lazy. So why does the ordinary 'lazy' person watch TV instead of doing something else? Does calling them 'lazy' add any value as a label, or does it obscure whatever is really going on? Is it a Pavlov-dog conditioned situation, where they were disapproved of as a child whenever they did anything, a kind of learned helplessness, a once bitten twice shy situation? Is it that they lack imagination of what other things could be interesting or enjoyable? Is it that they never did anything long enough to get success at it so they have no internal model of that being possible and what it feels like? Is it that they have physical problems or pains, or mental shame and self-hate that make doing things more unpleasant than is visible from the outside?
yeah on those cheap short term rates, they aren't cheap.

I feel like the biggest problem with climate change is one of collective action.

Lets start with the assumption that it is possible to make a meaningful impact on climate change by significantly reducing our consumption, this requires significant sacrifices to an individuals lifestyle.

I'm talking big pictured stuff like not eating meat, no more international travel, no personal vehicles, less spend on medicine reducing life expectancy, limits on number of children.

Lets say we have credible evidence that if these things are done the situation will improve.

Now whether you take the perspective of being an individual, member of a community or even a country, why would you make those sacrifices if you have no guarantee that everyone else will. It's a big price to pay to 'set an example'.

There are a lot more reasons to live somewhere than commuting convenience alone. The reports of the death of the city have been greatly exaggerated. It turns out city dwellers need a lot more infrastructure than just a local brewery. Namely a functional school district and a population that isn’t 97% white and strongly skewed conservative.
To be clear, the self-signature on a root certificate is meaningless (it only exists so that root certificates can be parsed with the same code as intermediate and leaf certificates); using SHA-1 there is not a risk.

There are good subscription based systems, but they are not worth the cost if you only need 1-2 numbers/month looked up.
They need a micropayment system, say charge you 10cents to look up a number and they bill you once a year or when you reach 50 numbers? Micropayments need to be under a penny for pay as you go 10 cent fees - 1 penny is 10%.
With cost of com0puting and storage low, I bet the visa of the world you operate on a half cent on a 10 cent fully online buy - will they???

What do you want to learn? Modern economics is mostly a guessing game of what actions governments and central banks implement. Will they print money and how much, will they bail out the banks or let them fall, will they lower or raise the interest rates, is there more stimulus coming, what kind of subsidies and social policies they implement etc. Some economists think that it's good that they have so much power and other economists think that they shouldn't intervene at all and let free market solve everything.

It's all mixed with politics, and generally policies are implemented to keep people short term happy, but long term not so happy.

Bankruptcy does eventually disappear I think, or if it doesn't there are legal requirements not to hold it against you after X years without a problem on your end. It's been a while since I've looked into it.
Yeah, I was a little disappointed because I was rooting for Timescale myself. And, maybe if I had spent more time optimizing, I could have made Timescale work but, between our experiments and Cloudflare’s blog post about migrating from Citus to ClickHouse, ClickHouse seemed like the one most likely to hold up for our production workloads.
True, however AFAIK this is less distorted between similar nations such as (here) the UK, Germany, France and Switzerland

Directly comparing data from Switzerland and Pakistan, Tuvalu or Rwanda is indeed too risky.
Yep. And it's basically what supports the myth of meritocracy.
What seems stupid to you is usually reasonable in their reference frame. The example du jour is any type of strongly held belief, whether that be in religion or politics, or whatever else. Someone can hold a fundamental, axiomatic view such that the logical consequences of that view might seem stupid to us, but we don't hold those same axioms.
Maybe we’re not taking about the same thing. You’re saying there’s PPC code running on current macOS. If it’s running on recent hardware, it’s running emulated, since Apple hasn’t shipped a PPC machine in more than a decade.

Yeah a lot of older millennials grew up on shows like Friends. We were disappointed in our mid-20s when we discovered our entry-level job wouldn't afford that large condo in downtown SF or Manhattan.

But it has got out of hand. I earn 90% more than most full time workers. And like 50%+ of "households" out there, it's just me, so no dual income. And I don't think it's appropriate to expect 40 year olds to still live with a bunch of roommates like they did when they're 22.

Forget the 2K ft^2 apartment in Manhattan or Mission District, I can't even afford the starter home out in Jersey or East Bay or Beltway DC. These aren't the mythical "McMansions" that everybody always uses to deflect from the affordability crisis - these are the exact same properties on tiny lots that a single-earning non-college-educated factory worker or postman or paper pusher could easily afford for his family in previous generations.

And if I - earning 2x-3x more than most workers - can't afford these basic homes, how the hell does everyone else who earns the median income of $60K do it?

I did a quick test of match vs if...elif for a basic enum switch, as well as a slightly more involved class/structural matching test. Results and code: https://gist.github.com/benhoyt/f648d6dd13ce112ba1a4422b175e...

For the enum switch, match generates very similar bytecode (use dis.dis to see) and the execution time is almost identical.

For the structural matching, match is significantly slower, which surprised me a bit (it's almost twice the number of bytecode instructions). That said, we're down in the nanoseconds range -- use of this feature shouldn't be about ns-level performance, but code clarity. I suspect "match" will get faster over time as they add optimizations or specialized bytecode for it.
This is not a criticism of the work done, but I think the top 20-40 mentions are extremely obvious and a regular reader might be able to guess a good portion of these recommendations. What is really interesting - and started at with the “categories” — is tying the recommendations to explicit context. I didn’t dive too deep into the recommendations, but are the categories by book category, or by originating topic of conversation? It’s a narrow distinction, but a useful one. I’d love to see deep learning pull up a hierarchy of conversational topics on hacker news and match recommendations to those trees.
ARM has been managing interruptible instructions with partial execution state for a long time.

In ARM assembly syntax, the exclamation point in an addressing mode indicates writeback. Its difficult to be certain without seeing the architecture reference manual, but it would be consistent for instruction to be writing back all three of the source pointer, destination pointer, and length registers.

A memcpy is interruptible without replaying the entire instruction (say, because it hit a page that needed to be faulted-in by the operating system) if it wrote back a consistent view of all three registers prior to transferring control to an interrupt handler.
Japan is really cool in regards to housing. You have a sort of dichotomy of either really old houses, or brand new. I forget which YouTube video I watched that explained that it's rare to find a house older than a decade or two in a Japanese city because people don't want to live in them. Houses are constantly torn down and replaced with new ones with the latest and greatest features.

I think something like that could work to reduce housing costs in the USA, but it would likely require a brand new city to be the guinea pig to prove the concept here. Something like those self-contained retirement towns that spring up, but maybe when the residents die, they rebuild them? Macabre, but interesting!

Yes, YAML does seem to be the "Cloud Native" tax. For all but the simplest of Workflows, it is necessary to use a templating language or one of the Argo SDKs.

We use jsonnet for building and manipulating YAML at the moment and are reasonably happy with it.
'according to the latest CoreLogic data.'

This appears to be a data provider oriented towards entities with large real estate portfolios, and they specifically say on their website that their "hedonic" index is not meant for affordability calculations, for what that's worth.

It's difficult for me to tell which index is in the article, but the note about the missing data under the chart implies to me that the article is (inappropriately) using the hedonic index. I wonder how much difference it makes.

'this month's figures from CoreLogic did not include Perth or regional Western Australia "pending the resolution of a divergence from other housing market measures in WA" '

"Rather than relying solely on transacted sale prices to provide a measure of housing market conditions, the CoreLogic Daily Home Value Index is based on a ‘hedonic’ methodology which includes the attributes of properties that are transacting as part of the analysis."

https://www.corelogic.com.au/research/monthly-indices

"The fact that median or other percentile based series cannot be used to track changes in value of a market portfolio does not make them wrong: it is simply that they have different applications than hedonic indices. For example, median price series are useful in answering economic policy questions relating to housing affordability."

One area of feedback is that the initial instructions in the app were slightly confusing. I think you can (or used to be able to) deep link right into the safari settings. The step in the app says “scroll down to safari,” but the name of the app in the screenshot is “Overamped,” which threw me off for a moment.

Might be worthwhile to have a screen recording even.

I’m astonished how well and how quickly it works. I just upgraded with the release, but it’s quite snappy. At least as good as my previous experiences with Google lens.
Seed rounds are bigger: At Heap, we raised $2M on a $12M cap after having a working product and some early traction. Today, it's not uncommon to see a pre-product company raise $5M on $25M or even higher

I'm seeing this as well and it's eye-watering how inflated the valuations have become for pre-product companies with no clear distribution levers.

The consequence of this easy money has been a lot of flash-in-the-pan startups that seem more stable than in eras past (they've got lots of employees, a nice office, and some good press coverage, they must be legit!), but actually can flame out pretty quickly after a couple of years of serving actual customers.

As a result, there are more buyers who are just more wary of new SaaS companies to begin with - they have the legitimate concern of whether you'll be around in a few years to continue supporting their needs, or just disappear with a nice "It was a great journey" blog post.

While capital has become commoditised, the market is still yearning for more good tools, and SaaS is still a good delivery method with acceptable pricing. Founders should certainly think very carefully about why they are raising before they do so, and maybe even skip it altogether.

The cells example would be improved by keeping the top left corner clear by making that cell stick in place and on top:

#colHeadings .rowHeading {
z-index: 3;
top: 0;
}

I also believe keyboard navigability is essential for the cells example, although the task specification neglected to mention it. (But then, the spec doesn’t specify anything about the formulas either—though it does include a picture depicting something like =SUM(B1:C4).) Tab and Shift+Tab work to shift cell focus, but that’s all; at the very least, Up/Down/Left/Right should work for cell navigation, and some way of entering edit mode without needing the mouse (start with F2, which is standard across spreadsheet apps that I know; perhaps Enter too, though they don’t).
(Maybe "no-win" is not literally true. In a literal sense, I suppose I really mean: "Dismally low odds of winning, best not to get into such situations")
Maybe someone at Arm has sympathy on my plight to get graphics cards running on a Pi—I've had to replace memcpy calls (and memset) to get many parts of the drivers to work at all on arm64.

Note that the Pi also has a not-fully-standard PCIe bus implementation, so that doesn't really help things either.

I'm OK with having a security key, and actually have one (YubiKey).

But MS went out of their way to only allow using it under Windows for some reason. If you want to log in to Azure/Office 365 from a different OS, you have to use some other way.

> especially when a company refuses to implement TOTP.

They do have TOTP, though. It's called "Authenticator app". The one that does the push notification and is MS-only is called "Microsoft authenticator" in their list. This works both on my personal, basic "outlook.com" account and on my work Azure / Office 365 one.

---

What I find funny is that for the personal account, the push notification seems better implemented: they send a code that's also on the screen, so you can know that you're approving the action you're currently doing. On the Office 365 subscription, I just get an "approve / cancel" box. This could probably be abused by someone knowing that I'm about to log in, since I have no way of knowing what I'm approving.
Anyone in the traditional retail space is trying to avoid Amazon. A. Because anyone in the retail space likely DOES have older management, and B. They're not entirely wrong; even if Amazon doesn't pull the rug out from under them, they're still indirectly writing checks to help fund their largest competitor.
> irrelevant because the person that would know what that means would already know where to ask the right question

How can people not know where to ask questions when all the people who'd ask has been told exactly where in a single short English sentence? What's not clear about "accept that this package is not supported by upstream developers and I will go to Nixpkgs to report any issues"?

> it's the impression I came away with

It's not a reasonable one on two counts. Let's go over the statement again:

> Then this Jorg person got all up in arms and threw a hiss fit all over the internet and everybody got tense.

First, he did not appear "all over the internet." The are only two places where I can find him discussing the topic online: in the Nixpkgs GitHub issue and a single Home Assistant thread where he sought to get clarifications from upstream regarding licensing policies.

Second, that he "threw a hiss fit" is taking your imagination to a real stretch. In no single comment did he express anger or frustration. All he ever did in his very few comments was 1. decline to drop the package from Nixpkgs and 2. ask about Home Assistant licensing. Take that in contrast with the behavior of HA devs where almost every single comment in the linked threads is provocative, sarcastic, and condescending, making evidence-free claims of incompetence and breakage at every step of the way right from the start.

Here are the big tips I think the article missed:

Use the new string dtype that requires way less memory, see this video: https://youtu.be/_zoPmQ6J1aE. object types are really memory hungry and this new type is a game changer.

Use Parquet and leverage column pruning. `usecols` doesn't leverage column pruning. You need to use columnar file formats and specify the `columns` argument with `read_parquet`. You can never truly "skip" a column when using row based file formats like CSV. Spark optimizer does column projections automagically - you need to do them manually with Pandas.

Use predicate pushdown filtering to limit the data that's read into the DataFrame, here's a blog post I wrote on this: https://coiled.io/blog/parquet-column-pruning-predicate-push...

Use a technology like Dask (each partition in a Dask DataFrame is a Pandas DataFrame) that doesn't require everything to be stored in memory and can run computations in a streaming manner.

Following up, it appears that insurers can use vaccination status in pricing healthcare costs shouldered by the insured. Several insurers have already begun to do this (Aetna and UnitedHealthcare). Coverage isn’t denied, nor are premiums raised, but it’s done through no longer waiving copayments from COVID treatment costs.

There are many open and commercial options for hyperparameter optimization.

We didn't select Argo for hyperparameter optimization. The situation is that because we already used Argo for our ML training and data processing jobs, we wanted to see if it could be extended for hyperparameter optimization. It actually can!

As mentioned briefly in the article, we try to use tools with minimal overlap. It's not always possible of course and sometimes new tools are necessary.

Kudos to the writer! I used this framework for an small robotics project and, as others pointed out, I was up and running in less than an hour.
However, as the project grew more complex, I reached a point where I felt the framework was in the way: I wanted complex things, and lacked the means to configure the framework that precisely.
I would recommend others to keep the framework for what it does so incredibly well : small / prototypes projects ; but do not hesitate to switch to a more powerful backend once you feel your needs are complexifying.
