Not sure if it's a philosophical question but as a solopreneur I have always rolled back since it keeps my commit chain cleaner rather than have previous versions that were buggy. I want to minimize downtime and a rollback is always faster than a fix-forward even when you know, or think you know, the fix.

Most Taiwanese (86%) speak Hokkien, but Mandarin was the sole official language until fairly recently, so it's spoken by even more (96.8%) people, and consequently about two thirds of the population primarily use Mandarin. Young people and inhabitants of Taipei use Mandarin even more often. (All according to the preliminary results of the 2020 census: https://www.stat.gov.tw/public/Data/110816389USMXRNUA.pdf )

And not to get too far off it, but does anyone have a set of tools for remote pairing that they really like?

Even if pairing isn't something you're doing constantly, I do think that for many teams and jobs, it's useful _sometimes_. But when the norm was for everyone to be in office, it was easy to start and have a solid high-bandwidth session -- just both pull up to the same desk. I find voice + screenshare still misses a bunch of cues, lag is of course disruptive, and the switch between who has control of the screen etc is clunky, so one person tends to drive for a long time.
If you think Google is adversarial then don't use Gmail; It seems strange to avoid using their 'apps' but continuing to use their products? I think you just handed them that information when you logged into their website.
> the incentives of the cloud provider and you are completely opposed

I think this is a little overstated. The cloud provider wants their customers to be happy while minimizing costs (and therefore costs to the customer). It's not truly a perverse incentive scenario.

Q. How confident are you that the Chinese are doing what needs to be done?

A. They're doing things that have completely broken the paradigm of how you respond. They have been, in a draconian way, shutting down everything. They have locked down 50 million people, including the entire 11 million-person city of Wuhan. They will not allow anyone into Beijing unless they have a 14-day quarantine. They're essentially locking people who test positive in their houses. I mean, they're doing things that are almost unheard of in the annals of public health.

Q. Will it work?

A. As unusual and extreme as it is, it might actually, ultimately, have an effect. There's this report that the number of new cases for the last couple of days in China has gone down. I don't put much strength in that unless I see it really start to come down and down and down. A few days of going down doesn't mean anything to me. But if it continues to go down, that might be a signal that they're having an effect of what otherwise would be extreme means.

Q. That would never happen here, would it? Locking down 50 million people?

A. No, not a chance. It would never happen.

Whenever I do anything on a VPS I religiously write down each step in a README file, so that then I can create bash scripts and automate processes.

The more I do this, the more I learn, the more I automate, the less I worry.
this seems to me like it's designed to shift the blame from unilaterally on the VRU (bad), to unilaterally on the driver (also bad).

You pay lip service to systemic problems, but this is not a systemic approach to reducing crashes; it just implies that the driver is at fault, which is not always the case in these things. As another comment noted, reporters would do well to highlight the context around the crash if there's no clear fault (such as an intoxicated or negligent driver, or a pedestrian running into the road within minimum braking distance), such as lack of bike lanes, blind corners, etc that would apply pressure to authorities to make the roads safer.

Not all crashes can be default-blamed on the driver.

Why pull, as opposed to push(ing to the server as remote)?

Then you could have any necessary restart or migration or whatever run in a post-receive hook.

> Nuclear plants take ages to build, and are insanely expensive.

So do subways, these days, for no good reason!

Capitalism kinda sucks at things with upfront costs and little maintenance costs. Without operational costs in fuel, there can't be enough rent sneaking to make the investment self-funding, and without the ability to do things incrementally --- constant practice --- we can't lower costs the usual way.

Fundamentally, Capitalism is bad at capital, and good at operational. Irony in the name.

It's no secret that places like Korea are good at doing nuclear power and subways cheaply. It's the same skill. Unfortunately, to the extent it's exporters being good at it, they skill relates on our non-skill.
> My objection to this is that if we perhaps had superhumans guiding us mere humans, they might be capable of modulating our information flow to protect us, but mere humans lack this power.

It almost sounds like Godel's incompleteness theorem somehow. We're not capable of fixing the system because we are the system.
Not OP, but I’ve been consulting for ~10 years across operations, sales and marketing for a wide variety of businesses at different stages and scales.

I have one key piece of advice: ask many questions. Be genuinely curious and friendly, and opportunities will continuously emerge.

I’ve landed high-value clients at coffee shops, hotel bars, music venues, or even through random emails. I was not prospecting. I was curious.

Questions are so useful at every layer of abstraction; whether you’re speaking with a server at a restaurant who’s having trouble with their POS, the general manager who’s wasted $10k on Yelp, or the real estate developer who happens to own a restaurant chain.

As a consultant your value is measured by your observations and imagination. Rich, open-ended questions allow you to absorb a vast repository of context and experience from operators. Use your skillset to imagine how things could be better if you were to apply effort.

I’ve had people quite frequently make declarations such as “you’re brilliant” or “you clearly have a lot of experience in this field” without knowing me or without me ever making a statement - only questions. It feels like a cheat code.

The only downside to this technique is you’ll be flooded with opportunities and your time won’t scale. I’ve dropped the ball on a number of awesome and profitable things because I was trying to pursue too many things at once. I’m trying to improve my consistency so I can hire more effectively, but it’s challenging.

Aside, I’ve been working on a crowdsourcing app to help solve this dilemma, as I’ve noted many others share my struggles.

Best of luck :)
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S9 (in the US) from them. My first impression: Everything works. Apps (if it's not on their store, which is a mix of F-Droid and other APKs, it's on Aurora), Google services works without signing (MicroG), GPS works, OTA updates work (with one click).

My biggest complaint is that their App store isn't just F-Droid, and their APKs are often out of date by 1-2 weeks. My biggest compliment (besides everything just working to the point I could recommend it to a relative), is that they are active and engaged in their community, regularly reading their forum, soliciting feedback, and posting weekly updates.

Renewables, pumped and battery storage, HVDC transmission, interconnectors between grids. California and Australia (picked from the top of my head based on knowledge of their forward looking policies) will be almost entirely powered by renewables in 2045 and 2030 (respectively) without any nuclear power.

"Green" hydrogen and ammonia are still in early stages of development, but are promising very long duration storage technologies that can buffer excess renewable production.
We're hedging our bets by doing initial small scale work in Lambda with containers, explicitly to enable a shift to Fargate ECS when it's needed.
I'm afraid I find this somewhere between creepy and ridiculous.

On the ridiculous side: the idea that calling a car accident an "accident" is somehow wrong - as if, because I understand that what happened was an accident, I am somehow incapable of thinking "hey, maybe we need better road safety legislation".

On the creepy side: the general approach which is, instead of making public arguments about why cars are bad, to manipulate language so as to push people to your side, using results from behavioural science.

Of course, if you think the author is on the side of the angels, then this is great! But the techniques can be used by equally self-righteous people, with whom you may disagree.

Treating people like sheep is gross. Don't do it.
"Explainable" just means you didn't build your app/service using any technology that isn't interpretable. Her argument is that the strategy of reverse engineering a method to convert it from inexplicable to explicable is inherently less effective than maintaining explicability at all times in the app's genesis -- from the design phase through implementation.

But Rudin's Premise is philosophical more than practical. If the problem at hand is better solved using a black box (in terms of accuracy, precision, robustness, etc), her premise says simply, don't do it. Unfortunately in the cutthroat world of capitalism, that strategy can't compete with the cutting edge.

Where Rudin's Premise is more suitable is in writing regulations to address AI app problems where social unfairness is unchecked (like the COMPAS app that advises legal authorities on meting out parole decisions without explaining its reasoning). There are many such (ab)uses for AI today in social services or policing which merit rethinking since AI-based injustice so offer bedevils the proprietary lack of transparency in such apps.

Another excellent discussion of problems like these is Cathy O'Neil's book "Weapons of Math Destruction". Too bad she couldn't share the Squirrel prize. https://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Math-Destruction-Increases-In...
A variation of this comment shows up in every FB related post, and it seems completely absurd to me anyone holds this view seriously.

Before FB, people shared these details once a year with the annual Christmas card or Thanksgiving call. Now, they can share these details with friends and family in essentially realtime, and communicate in realtime. You can say the same things you would in a card, or a call, without waiting months. Hell, if you really want you can call someone through Facebook.

It's crazy that people on HN are so convinced that there aren't people out there with more than 30 friends. Spend more time out of the office away from your computers, and you'll have way more than 30 friends in short order.

It's crazy that people think that emojis have replaced longer intimate conversations. Most of the people I know that use Facebook for sharing with friends can and do have deeper conversations (and plenty of them) with friends IRL (or on the phone) because the minutiae gets shared on FB or Instagram.

Maybe you can't keep up with people through Facebook, but literally billions of people have been using Facebook for this quite successfully.

> If humans build it, it will fail, and a single catastrophic nuclear plant failure isn’t acceptable.

We do people focus so much on the danger aspect of nuclear energy only? Why not the thousands of people who died of dam break, the millions who die of lung failure due to exposure to polluants, or, the elephant in the room, the dozens of millions whoe die and will die of climate change?

Sure, it's very sad that a handful of Soviet and Japanese technician perished in accidents, don't get me wrong, but why such an irrational focus on nuclear accidents when a single dam break (and still, hydroelectric energy is among the safest of the safests) caused more casualties than nuclear energy in its whole life?

> that are not present in other forms of modern energy generation

That's just plain wrong.

I, too, often randomly stumble on nuclear waste depots 400m deep under the surface. Such a way to waste my Sunday.

Totally agree. There's some impostor syndrome in play here. If you don't need the scale, why waste your time managing a more complex setup? Heroku might be slightly more expensive in the short term but your time is better spent building/selling than future-proofing or just doing it because larger operations have to.
Speaking of Waze (which is originally an Israeli company, if you didn't know):

I was in Tel Aviv in 2017 in a rental car at Ben Gurion airport, trying to find the rental car return. The signs all pointed me one way, and Google Maps agreed. I followed them, and got to a place where Google said "your destination is on the left."

I cursed "no, it f&cking isn't!" After much driving around and stopping to ask people, I finally found it. The rental car company had given me a sheet of paper saying where it really was, which I had neglected to look at (never having had a problem before).

I never checked to see if Waze had it right.
I dunno why I find the idea of "finding the hyperplane that maximally separates classes" so unpleasant compared to the approach that makes sense to me "optimize the weights of a parameterized function to minimize an objective function". I imagine under the hood they're not really different. Generally, I think SVMs appear to statisticians while deep learning appeals to physicists and probabilicians.
Nushell 0.38
The core problem here is that you don't actually want to check if something is an object, but whether it matches the Human type. The correct way to do that is to define a type guard [0], for example:

function isHuman(input: any): input is Human {
return (
Boolean(input) &&
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(input, "name") &&
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(input, "age")
);
}

There are libraries which can automate this for you which is the route I would recommend if you need to do this often. As you can see, the code to cover all edge cases such as `Object.create(null)` etc is not trivial.

> If the build is bit-level deterministic it results in a fixed output given a fixed input. So, you simply hash the output, sign it and ship it along the build. The user will simply check if the hash matches the binary they received, even from an untrusted source.

Or is it that 3/4/10 independent people can independently build the same, concur that the checksums of the built package are all the same, and be confident that none of them are being coerced or hacked? So it's a way of verifying the person building the package in the first place (any coercion/hacking would have to apply to everyone confirming the build - which won't be everyone using it, but would be a dozen people in a dozen jurisdictions

Where are you getting this impression? Her video pretty clearly focuses on the confusion between the Qs. Where does she get the napkin math wrong? She uses a published figure for total energy required during the operation of ITER when it’s up and running not a one time startup cost figure. Id she misrepresented that number, what would be a more honest total power consumption figure? As far as construing the output, she uses existing loss ratio for heat to electrical energy conversion which really does not seem to work to construe the problem as “especially difficult”, it’s “normally difficult” is how I interpreted. Are there impending advancements in energy conversion that makes 50% too liberal?
React is a framework that doesn't want to admit it's a framework. If you follow its recommendations like Hooks, you have to write your JS a "special way" since React owns your component lifecycle.

Put simply, React calls your component, your component does not call React. Your UI code needs to work inside of React, not around it.

The relevant and most upvoted HN article on the difference between libraries and framework is:

There is no experiment that can disprove all simulation hypotheses. There is always another hypothesis where that result is simply a valid part of the simulation.

Similarly, there is no evidence that can demonstrably disprove the existence of "God." In fact at the fundemental level these two beliefs are basically identical; the difference is in language and emotional baggage.
> Prediction markets have existed for more than 20 years. Adding "decentralized" doesn't make them better.

Prediction markets have probably existed for thousands of years, but this is where we disagree. Decentralization is a fundamental improvement to a betting market, because there is no longer a counterparty who is incentivized to cheat you when you win, or incentivized to take on so much risk that they cannot pay you back if they lose.

> Colateralized loans, if they work, are 0% of the total colateralized loan market.

You sure about that? There's nearly $100B locked in DeFi, although admittedly that's more than just collateralized loans.

You can disagree with that but the snarkyness of "you can't name a purpose" isn't necessary, I've named multiple. It's easy to find cases where a company took much longer to become successful that Uber and Lyft and ended up doing much better than both. I don't find that argument very compelling do you?

I think folks on either extreme of "cryptocurrency is going to eat the world" and "cryptocurrency is literally a trillion dollar scam" should really try to second guess themselves a bit. I think emotions get in the way a bit.
