But makes little sense (as a developer/engineer myself) to think that growth in users, requires a ton of new developers/engineers. We are not tattoo artists, our job can scale indefinitely if set up properly, i.e. all you should need to scale further (to 1BN or 7BN) should be enough money to buy more hardware; which WhatsApp/Facebook clearly has.
Apache DolphinScheduler 1.3.9, StandaloneServer is Available
On October 22, 2021, we are excited to announce the release of Apache DolphinScheduler 1.3.9. After a month and a half，Apache DolphinScheduler 1.3.9 brings StandaloneServer to users with the joint efforts of the community. StandaloneServer is a major update of this version, which means a huge leap in ease of use, and the details will be introduced below. In addition, this upgrade also fixes two critical bugs in 1.3.8.

I'm fairly sure I have this on top of regular hearing impairment. I've actually been through the NHS process and seen the graph that shows dramatic rolloff in my hearing above about 6kHz, and have a pair of NHS hearing aids.

I've not worn them since the start of the pandemic because I've not been in a crowded space with lots of people talking.

(Interestingly, because videoconferencing technology copes badly with multiple speakers and very rarely has proper working spatial audio, suddenly people with normal hearing can't disambiguate speakers either and everyone ends up rigidly taking turns)
Ironic, coming from the person who said that other people judge me when I don't have my camera on.
Great photos!

I see there seems to be a stairway to go into the Buran rocket. Can you go inside and have a look?

> If you can't be bothered to have your camera on in meetings then you probably shouldn't be in that meeting in the first place.

I don't understand how this could possibly be justified. We used to have conference calls all the time, they did seem to work so we kept having them... it's just that everyone has cameras now.

I don't understand why some people feel the need to harass people to turn their cameras on. Is there some kind of business reason why the cameras need to be turned on? Or is it just preference?

> There is nothing more annoying than to have an in-person meeting from the past devolve into staring at a wall of stills or icons and then to figure out who says what and to keep a conversation going.

That's an interesting experience, I wonder why that's happening to your team. This does not match my experience with voice-only calls.

There are valid reasons to ask people to turn their cameras on, and there are reasonable policies for using cameras in meetings, but it doesn't seem to me that an "always use cameras" or "never use cameras" policy is going to work as well as a more flexible policy.

Even interviews--I've done interviews both over voice and with a camera, and I've never felt like the camera gave me some significant benefit... either as interviewer or candidate. There are definitely exceptions, like for people who are partially deaf, but in general it's better to be flexible. People have different preferences and the interaction tends to go more smoothly if you're not a stickler for keeping your camera one way or another.

With 110/220V AC, you only need to touch the phase to be in trouble. With 12V, your body will basically block all current from flowing, so to get in trouble you'll need to accidentally make the metal part to connect both electrodes of the battery (short circuit). This is much, much less likely than with other low voltage system (btw, 12V is Extra-low voltage).

Thanks, it does seem like choosing a language that was made for doing things in parallel to begin with was a good idea. To be honest, I've always felt that programming in functional languages creates less bugs, but perhaps that's just my imagination.
Semi-related: I've been to Uzbekistan before pandemic with friends. It was very fun. Country is modernizing fast but has some remnants of the old era, which make a fun mix. Very nice people; at the same time, the controls on rail stations are airport-like, with x-raying people and the baggage, triple checking the tickets etc (but it seems mostly pro-forma).

What was surprising is that they have very modern high-speed trains, and super new train stations (most of them built just a few years ago). The country is huge but very well connected by train (and air; we first flew to the far west, and then came back east by train and visited a few cities along the road).

For one of the trains we bought regular tickets, but the ticket inspector friendly insisted on us to get an upgrade to the "lux" class :) (probably the regular class was busy), which was a good decision; the upgrade was absurdly cheap, and worth it (4-people compartments, very spacious and comfortable) due to the length of travel (several hours).

Another fun story: in another train we've been in an "open space" w/o compartments; it had TVs on the room which first played Michael Jackson concert, and the some TV series :)

7-up is lemon/lime flavored, easy to digest, and colorless so it doesn't stain when you spill it or throw it up again. I don't know whether its acidity or carbonation help, though lemons and limes are also anti-nausea remedies (limes are also delicious and prevent scurvy!)

However, in my experience Coke/Pepsi (phosphoric acid) and ginger beer/ale (ginger extract) may work better as anti-nausea medicines.

Canada Dry was sued for their Ginger Ale not containing "real ginger" (as per the label), but I think it still contains something like ginger extract. The anti-nausea effects may be one reason airlines serve ginger ale as an in-flight beverage.

The world is both very big and a complete mess. Plenty of pre-modern folk still about, and plenty of modern and post-modern “aristocrats” ready to march them down a dark (unenlightened) tunnel straight from agrarian to digital serfdom.

I’m curious why OP posted this, and why a 40-year-old review and not the book itself. I read it when it came out, but don’t recall it being prescriptive, which surely would have limited its impact.

Despite all the reading and passage of time, I’ve never been quite sure what to do with all this perspective. I’ve ended up a plush, Chobani-eating nihilist in a cool blue-green bubble. Time for my fiddle lesson.

Indeed, this is a ridiculous statement. The iTunes store didn't even launch until 2003, and I don't recall it actually competing with CD sales until several years after that. I suspect you'd find very few record label folks from that era who'd consider the ipod their "savior".

I don't agree, but I also find your username ironic. Did you dash?
My dad was a manager of an Enron-linked company. It never really hurt his job prospects, and was actually viewed really highly. He was investigated and found clean. In fact, he took on a lot of debt trying to clean up the mess, which a lot of people admired.

Similarly I know a guy who worked at WeWork. He tried to change things for the better and was ultimately ostracized and fired for it. But he's a good guy and his story clicks.

I think you'll definitely land jobs with such golden stains on your resume, but you'll have to address the elephant in the room - did you make things better or worse?
Yes, but I think it's a mock-up and not a real Buran. It was mostly empty inside (and dark!). They showed us the hanger which partially collapsed and damaged the Buran inside, as we were being driven along.
Java has had quite a head start (.net core came out only 5 years ago).

Yeah of course it depends on your definition — and in case of such a widely used framework I would usually use type safe with regards to user code, but you are entirely right!

But another point I had in mind is regarding the JVM is that it is strongly typed so such an error will be at least visibly and fail with a proper error message.
It's a topic that attracts a lot of people who don't know much. Discussing the fine points of program architecture is hard and requires knowledge. Shilling your favorite language is fun and requires nothing more than faith.

That was a joke. I'm still learning Haskell but it's a lot of fun.
I fully agree here.

Sending messages to a known (small) number of people is a solved problem for a long time. Email for example.

With WhatsApp, it is even easier than email because WhatsApp is a closed system, and you can optimize.

They used an uncommon setup? Okay cool. How does this help me? or any other company?

I think they are trying to say, if you want a conference call have a conference call. I think there is an argument to be made that virtual meetings are separate and not simply an enhancement of a conference call.

That's one way to look at it, I suppose. What I see is someone who travels around a country that is unfamiliar and inaccessible, and who focuses on showing us what life is like there. And that may not be incredibly spectacular, but I admit to greatly enjoying seeing such a unique and unfamiliar part of the world and the people that live there. I could travel there myself (and I have), but I don't speak Russian so I could never make the connections he makes and hear the stories he hears.

Is he rude? Well, he is certainly much more extraverted than I could ever be, and I suppose he crosses the line at times, but he talks to real people about their real life, rather than putting up a bit of a tourist show with only highlights. I find it fascinating, just like I find "yeah Russia" (youtube channel) fascinating.

I do wonder how his Ethiopian adventure ended though. I'm sure there's a story there...
All of them, until you want to do something that's not a good match for whatever the platform is designed for.

If you need fine grained control over the presentation and behaviour of a system then you have to specify those things in detail exhaustive detail using a suitably expressive platform which we typically refer to as a "programming language".
Do we really think Javascript is exotic? Hasn't it proved itself over many years now?

That doesn't mean it can't have issues like anything else. And because of the massive scale of the language you'll see a lot of shit. It's a language and ecosystem like anything else - it's what you do with it that matters.
It's not the IDE, it's the compiler that infers it. So type information is always available.

> these high voltage systems

12V is Extra-low voltage. High voltage is > 1000V (with specific risks due to electric arcing).

With 12V you can't get an electric shock, and the biggest risk is short-circuit (which is where you can get cauterizing metal pieces) and then the battery itself is the most sensible part (Lithium battery really don't like short-circuits): battery fire is a much bigger hazard than burns.

Also, the short-circuit risk already exists with lead battery (even if the amperage is lower).

The term "conference call" just means remote meeting with voice only. It does not have some subtler meaning. (Although it's not a "conference call" if it's only two people.)

The gap between Java and C# has grown very slowly but surely for many years, and more people feel Java is changing too quickly than too slowly. Different people prefer different things, some will always prefer Pepsi (although C# will probably not be that Pepsi, as it's lost too much ground and MS seems to be losing interest in it, as they tend to do), and our goal isn't to adopt the strategy of less successful products, but to forge our own, even if some on HN have other ideas.
WhatsApp is basically modern SMS. That's sort of a telecom application.
EASA doesn't have rules for ultra- and microlight aircraft, they're only in national regulations. So then it depends on what the country you're in decides.

But even if you're allowed to fly with only minutes of fuel reserve. The big question is whether you should want to. When you're in a more basic aircraft, that didn't go through all the certification requirements that other aircraft go through, it would not be a great idea to skip all kinds of safety practices like fuel and alternate planning just because you're not legally forced to do it. You're then just increasing risks more and more, while this thing is marketed to non-pilot buyers that may not even fully understand the risks.
Servicing and repairing electric cars is not going to be in demand as much as repairing ICE cars ever was. E.g. a lot of first generation Nissan Leafs are mostly still driving around on their first battery pack. Some of them have gotten life extensions with a battery pack replacement that is better than what they shipped with. They might still be doing shopping runs 20 years down the line. There is just very little that goes wrong with these things.

Most maintenance is basically going to be replacing tires, topping up some fluids (e.g. windscreen wipers), etc.

Battery replacements are sometimes needed of course but mostly not until well into 5 digit mileage. Quite a few manufacturers give you 8 years/100K miles warranty (whichever comes first) on the drive train. The reason is that they mostly only start failing long after that.

Of course any kind of serious work on an electrical drive train is going to need an electrical engineer. There are quite a few shops already specializing in salvaging electrical drive trains and repurposing them for ICE conversions of e.g. classical vehicles. Not an impossible skill to learn. But indeed very different from servicing the types of things that fail on ICE cars which have lots of moving parts and complex systems.
We cannot afford to do something, we need to focus on the most effective measures because political capital for that topic is not endless. You should also try not to increase other significant problems.

It was more of an example on C++, and I agree that many features of C# are great QoL improvements! But at the same time, I do feel that sometimes the language committee would be better not implement a feature just yet and wait for a better abstraction that makes 2-3 features possible at the same time. That way the cognitive load of the language would decrease by a lot.

And yeah, C# feels to me to be on the way to being way too feature-packed, which can be a detriment in the extreme.

They said they had some Lisp dependencies that weren't as reliable so a hypothetical rewrite in Lisp again really doesn't change that (unless they wanted to NIH-Not-Invented-Here-rewrite the Lisp libraries themselves). Therefore, the Python ecosystem with more tested libraries was a motivation.

(The Lisp dependency they don't refer to by name may have been the Lisp web server TBNL : http://edicl.github.io/hunchentoot/)

Excerpt from: https://archive.md/Nz9Mu#selection-297.0-297.439

>If Lisp is so great, why did we stop using it? One of the biggest issues was the lack of widely used and tested libraries. Sure, there is a CL library for basically any task, but there is rarely more than one, and often the libraries are not widely used or well documented. Since we’re building a site largely by standing on the shoulders of others, this made things a little tougher. There just aren’t as many shoulders on which to stand.
Sure... to those counter examples, I could add more: Gwen John's muted pallet, Joseph Albers' same-hue combinations,

It is a trivial task to find exceptions to any principle in art. However, as a general rule, it is true that artists exaggerate. My own work examined 100 American paintings all painted at approximately the same time, of similar subject matter. These were compared to the same number of snap-shot style photographs of similar subject matter.

The results showed us that artists exaggerate the strong color differences of nature, yet bring weak differences closer together. Hence an artwork is (in general) an exaggeration in two dimensions: contrast and affinity. This is done differently in the hue, saturation and lightness channels, with (as you might expect) lightness featuring the strongest. However, there were interesting exception in the hue treatment of particular subject matter.

> I suppose if you don't consider anything after the 18th century you might be right.

You have a point, if you only consider fine art, and your examples show that you know your businesses in this domain. But I would say it is even more true of such applied arts as game level design, high vfx fantasy movies, Deviant art style fan art and such like.
Don't attach too much weight to this. First, it's just two phonemes, and very similar ones at that. Second, many different results have been obtained in similar studies. Third, "differently" is a rather trivial word: anything that gets associated with these sounds may or may not "light up" in an fMRI experiment. It's not even sure the effect from that paper are relevant to language processing. In this case, it might be something as simple as familiarity. Preciously little is known about language processing.
Yes, that sounds like an organizational issue. It's a common organizational issue without easy solutions.

Maybe I have a different definition of "side project" and/or it's somehow a HN-bubble about articles like "I earned 100k with my side project", but for me a side project is exactly the opposite of what seems to be the target is the author: I have side project in my free time, because it is always about stuff I don't get paid for but I need somehow. Is it about software to use for me and my friends or to learn about something. But it is always under the premise of not gain any cent from it. And I understood articles about making money from a side project exactly about being lucky to start something without financial intension and gain money anyways. If course I would love to get money for my side project, but worth noting, that I don't get any attention on it anyways: for example I build esp-ena, a covid hardware tracker to be compatible with exposure notification framework. I don't want any money, it was I side project, but it was still a failure because it didn't get the attention I hoped for (that maybe someone starting to make this professional). So of course it was not about money, but I had bigger expectations than just being for myself. I'm the end I think, side projects should always stays something you create just for you and maybe it goes bigger, but when planning to make more than that out of it, you shouldn't make it a side project and start a business instead.
