It's nothing to do with expert systems. Whoever wrote it decided to reuse an well-established existing term for their own purposes.

The title ran a bell in my head, though. In the mid 1980s, to demonstrate Personal Consultant Plus, a commercial EMYCIN clone developed by Texas Instruments, to potential customers, I developed an expert system with it called CAFES - short for Choosing Architectures for Expert Systems. This was based on a technical report of the same name by Paul Kline and Steven Dolins.

Sounds unnecessary. You just roll it into the D&I review. There is such a thing as a D&I review that comes down to a couple paragraphs on how this product has no features that are relevant for diversity or inclusiveness.

But Google added the review because they found that, in general, the average software engineer does not have the background or technical experience to make an educated guess on that topic.

Ouch, but yes, I agree. He wasn't a kingpin, he was a idealistic youngman trying to leave his mark on the World with a Market place.

But his horrible OPSEC coupled with his openess with Media (which should have been a 0 tolerance policy) was his downfall; they even made a Nerdcore song about DPR [0]. The Kangaroo court was just a predictable outcome, like most freedom fighting it will never be a fair trail, and it was used to serve as a deterrent: but the Internet works on the hydra model so clearly a guy like White would take the mantle.

Then again they took down Variety Jones in Thailand, which is where Ross was for a while, too.

In the end DNMs are still alive and well in 2021, too. So ultimately their are more people wanting to run them.

Most assets are timeless. The ephemera leaping to your mind so easily are leaping there because they are the exception and you don't notice all the stuff that isn't.

Why am I looking at a broken laundry basket? Why are all my laundry baskets broken, just from hauling clothes around? Why is the shelf that I'm looking at now broken on top? I have a chest of drawers that is now ~45 years old and was for the time a cheap piece of junk, that is, particle board and wood, but it's still in great condition, basically like new.

It would only take a bit more plastic on my laundry baskets to last indefinitely, just like my cheap chest of drawers has lasted decades because it only has a bit more thickness on the drawer bottoms than anything does nowadays. You shouldn't have to step up a factor of magnitude in cost to get something that will last, and to be honest I've been bitten a few times even then and merely gotten a higher grade of trash.
I was also wondering this. But note that x^y is always perpendicular to x, so really only has two degrees of freedom while you need three to recover y (knowing x). Add in the dot product part to make up for it.
This. More people should call standup what it really is - micromanagement.
The difference is always "laughing at you" vs "with you." It's not that certain groups are "fair game" but that among equals poking fun has a default interpretation of "busting a friend's chops." Anyone can absolutely cross the line when making fun of white people.

If you're non-white and making fun of white people it can also be light mockery of your oppressors depending on the context. It has "court jester making fun of the king" energy.

Why it's almost always not kosher for white people to make fun of non-whites is because the default interpretation of jokes among non-equals is bullying and mockery. It can be done but it has to be done with extreme care.

The topical example of jokes among more complicated non-equals going extremely poorly is Chappelle's treatment of the trans community. It's not that trans folks are "off limits", you can find plenty of comedians and people on social media that make tasteful jokes at the expense of trans folks, but Chappelle's jokes just came off mean and weren't things that any trans person would react like, "haha that's so true!"
> In many cases, getting on a call with someone or even just taking 10-20 minutes to have a synchronous chat is all it takes

I have only found that to be beneficial if you work with horrible communicators who struggle to get their thoughts out without repeating themselves in a multitude of ways.

In the age of testing candidates to death, ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater if they cannot calculate how many golf balls fit on a bus in O(n) time using a reversed linked list, why are you hiring horrible communicators in the first place?

Having had the luxury of once working with a team of effective communicators, the idea of needing a 10-20 minute call would have been laughable.
The editorialized title is inaccurate. It's not a "New GUI for the Web". It's "A new way of creating GUI in the web". There is an important difference.

> a system that people would built with a micro-services approach but would be simpler as a monolith

It's not a binary decision. Micro-services are a tool/technique best applied piecemeal for specific things. For example, "we started out with our API in the monolith but it's got more traffic than we expected so we should split it off to its own service."

The point I was making is that people take this wholesale approach and add unnecessary complexity (i.e., split the API, the payments system, the DB/ORM layer, etc. off into services from day one).
I'd be fine with this if it was actually an organic movement where Americans realized consumerism didn't bring happiness

My problem is the last few weeks have been an outright propaganda campaign against Americans to accept lower living standards which are a direct result of inflation caused by government policies and allowing companies to outsource everything. These types of headlines are almost a parody, Soviet Union tier stuff trying to normalize what is happening.
> when they wane in effectiveness after 3 months and don’t prevent transmission much at all

Two things to consider: “wane” is not the same as “dropping to 0” — the protections against severe cases have been shown to remain substantial even if it's not 100% — and “prevent transmission” in this case was referring to people who live in the same household, which is by far the hardest situation in which to prevent spread since that's a significant amount of time sharing air without masks. A better question would be things like how much vaccinations prevent spread from shorter / masked contexts such as transit, school, work, shopping, etc. — similar to how we might not conclude that a bulletproof vest is useless because it can't handle sustained fire from a machine gun.

I recommend this, it's exactly how I handle it in Ubuntu at least. I also often use Arandr in addition to xrandr, there's one feature (positioning the tiles if you have a very nonstandard setup) which is way easier to use in Arandr. But Arandr also lacks a lot of options that xrandr has.

You can do it all with xrandr IIRC, but not with Arandr. Arandr just helps with positioning if you have say, three monitors of different sizes which don't line up in any typical way.
I never looked into it, but some scientists supposedly lent credence to the existence of lucid dreaming. That's a similar concept where you assume that, with training, some people have tapped into a wellspring of vivid imagination. Or, they just have more natural DMT in their system and start hallucinating in their mind's eye.

I can only get a taste of that experience when deeply engaged in reading books. I am hoping the prototypes for deep-dive VR will soon be better than dreaming (for some people that struggle with recollection and other mental exercises) so that we can build what were once only mental palaces and OOBEs.

Sorry to hit your nerve by mentioning 'cruel' Chola dynasty that you're compelled to reply to my same comments twice. To be honest only 'cruel' dynasty that can attacked, killed and plundered their fellow Hindu kingdoms just to install their own puppets.

I'm not sure you really understand the meaning of "colonization" that you're frequently using and dissing it [1],[2]. The British is world renowned colonizer and they performed the classic form of colonization by utilizing "divide and conquer" technique over foreign lands. Using this technique the obedient local and native rulers are maintained but the disobedient will be killed or outcast, and replaced by the new obedient rulers. These colonized kings and rulers were under complete influent of the colonizer and generally called the puppets. This is exactly what the Chola dynasty did to their fellow South East Asian neighbours unlike the Mysore or the Mughal dynasty. There is no record that the latter perform any excursion to the South East Asian neighbours apart from the peaceful trade. Please bear in mind that all of them occupied the same land albeit at different times. The 'cruel' Chola dysnasty is the classic colonizer and perhaps the British learnt their colonization technique from Chola because their modus operandi are very similar.

I'm still waiting for your credible massacres and genocides references especially performed by Tipu Sultan.

I do not know for sure about the US constitution, but my constitution already has freedom of press in it. I guess the press would have to distribute the money by themselves, the government would just hand it over.
Somebody was kind enough to explain in a fair amount of detail how the process goes. It is an difficult ethical question. Mine is also an unfortunate formulation, perhaps "went under the radar" reflects the sentiment better. Here we are, managing a deadly pandemic with a novel technology and no depth line. All of this to say, given that there is no shortage of people willing to weather covid without a vaccine (17% of adults "definitely not" or "only if required" as of July 2021), perhaps there is a way to ethically design a study of the vaccines that doesn't lose its control group after less than a year.

To risk "conspiratorial thinking" charges, what are the odds that in a country with 31% unvaccinated adults, only 2 participants in the control arm of a critical RCT didn't want to take the vaccine as soon as it was offered?

I think the point is that the tax is structured in such a way that doesn't disincentivize housing stock. Under a land value tax scheme, a landlord is incentivized to produce as many housing units for a given amount of land as possible, because it allows him to spread out the same tax across more tenants. In contrast, a fixed percentage (eg. 10% tax on rent) doesn't have this feature.

I'm not sure this is the right number. I have read the initial results for one of the vaccines (I think it was from Pfizer) and with my, admittedly cursory and layman reading of the data, the reduction of transmission in vaccinated vs unvaccinated households wasn't at all dramatic, something like 1.5x for some cohorts. And this was with "freshly" vaccinated, post 2 weeks after vaccination (remember, 2 weeks post vaccination susceptibility to infection is increased).

Interesting to see that David Ross is still around at Hexus. I can't remember the name of the guy who set up Bit-Tech but it was another site set up around year ~2000. An end of an era indeed.

I briefly ran another hardware website with a couple of other guys around this time. It was fun, but we never got the levels of success of either of these (although we did get some decent sponsorship for review samples through some companies). Fun times.
Your reasoning also completely ignores the reality that the vaccines do not pose _any_ risk to most people.
I'm always flabbergasted when someone asks what's the point.

Ooh that looks a bit like Rust having quickly scrolling by. I have been keeping a eye on Zig but I'm waiting till the package manager stuff has been finalized and implemented.

Learning the language of understanding charts and diagrams is not obvious. From reading maps to understanding log-log plots, box and violin plots, etc. I mean there is a whole industry around this.

I think the ability to be able to transition in the same diagram to different semantic complexity levels is amazing. I want this for ALL of my communication and information mediums.

I am only commenting on the tools ability to zoom in and out from an abstraction level and not on the philosophy of how diagrams are constructed.
That complexity is due to developer laziness, lack of discipline, and inexperience—not the pattern. And again, it's not monolith vs. microservices. It's "when is each technique best applied and why?"
Just put all the taxes collected from it into a "emission pool", then distribute it evenly among the people. That way the rich buying a lot of stuff effectively is them paying for the poor's emission quota. Or any of the many other ways to handle this, there are so many solutions to the problem that it is not an issue unless you want it to be.

This has to be the most white, upper class, liberal, urban comment on HN I've ever seen.

You’re telling some dude or gal that just pulled a 12 hr shift at 17.25/hr (fuck yeah that $100 pre-tax in overtime is meaningful - best job they’ve ever had) that they shouldn’t buy that 70” TV so they can fuckin’ enjoy the 3 hr of free time they have while sucking back $0.75 cans of Budweiser before getting up in 6hr to do it all over again?

What’s next? They should look at exploring sous vide for their next home cooked meal and maybe some “real” wasabi for their sushi and no green dyed horseradish?

Holy Christ this comment is out of touch with the average American life.
> COVID does not pose a significant risk to most people.

True, but this is not the deciding factor. What matters is the ability of the healthcare system to take care of the sick during outbreaks.
Yes I can see your point. Why wait for a single point of day to bring up any issues or share information? Just do it immediately. We have tools to enable this (slack, teams, email, etc.). But, I do see the point of a daily sync up for team building, especially for remote teams.
Agreed, views against stand ups are either team members hiding issues or the team is not doing stand ups like best practices suggest.

Most of my teams problems with Agile/SCRUM come down to skipping steps or not following best practices. Once we fix those, it gets better.
I think each team should work the way they feel comfortable and avoid those "unified ceremonies". If someone needs an input they can ask for it when needed. Or organize a meeting if it really required. Otherwise just let workers work and do not waste their time with useless talk. Leader can always monitor overall progress.
No. Role of government is to provide minimum standard of living for general population. A lot of people will freeze in Kaza, as basic necessities are a huge part of their monthly budget and price hike is too severe to handle.

"Let market sort itself" only works if government thinks about it in advance, have fair elections, low corruption, etc.

Cost of natural gas / coal / oil is going up significantly and is a huge problem for all of Europe (not just Eastern) at the moment. A lot of Eastern Europe will have rolling blackouts and need to buy power from Russia / Belarus. Kazakhstan is in the same boat in that regard. I would venture that they are probably still on the USSR power grid as well and can buy easily from Russia / Belarus.
Science is constantly "rewriting history." It's called learning.

Unfortunately it's a major source of public distrust in science since when someone changes their mind it's perceived as weakness or deception. A dogmatic idiot who never learns anything looks like a stronger person of greater integrity.

The fact that we got any form of vaccine at all in one year is absolutely incredible. That it doesn't work quite as well as we originally thought isn't surprising given that it wasn't out long enough to observe long term efficacy in the wild. Original numbers were based on limited clinical tests and models.
this is such a narrow line of thinking.

Imaging the hubris required to even suggest that an essential input to daily life should have its price affected by an almost completely useless financial hedge for the elites.
"....who are infected in households where there is an infectious index (first) case."

For the epidemiologist or medical professional in the crowd, what's an "infectious index (first) case"?
Pardon me for asking; is this a question?
Hospital Capacity.

I live in North Texas, our Trauma Service region has 4m people in it, at one point during the Delta wave we had less than 70 free ICU beds - and we have more hospital capacity than much (if not all) of the state per capita (and indeed, much of the country as well). During the Delta wave, the hospitals here were full of unvaccinated 20 and 30 somethings without complicating health issues, with serious COVID, most of which would have been prevented had they been vaccinated.

Unless the social contract is changed so those who are unvaccinated can be denied treatment (meaning limited to palliative care) during periods of capacity required rationing for serious (read, requires an ICU bed) cases of COVID, mandatory vaccinations are effectively a requirement.

Is it fair to the person who was vaccinated, then gets in a car accident (or has a stroke, or some other issue) and dies waiting for an ICU bed, because all the beds are full of folks who could have been vaccinated (and probably wouldn't have needed an ICU bed if they had) but decided not to be?

I'm pretty libertarian, and I loathe making these choices - but as long as hospital capacity is a shared resource, your choice as an individual effects others, and in times of crisis society sometimes has a right to decide some things for you, whether you like it or not, remove that linkage, and then folks should be able to do as they please.

I've always thought that stand-ups are a lazy form of management
While I personally find shopping draining and possessions overwhelming, I don’t really understand the moral conviction that some people have that possessions are evil.

I don’t like those marvel films either but if other people do I’m happy they are being made.
I've always hated standups. Very rarely do they provide value for the ICs (IMHO) and that should be the key measure.

The biggest problem is that managers can easily fall into a trap where they have everyone in the same place so they can ask individuals questions that only really matter to them. Beyond about 8 people (and maybe as low as 5) this means a bunch of people are standing around while other people give updates on things they don't really care about. I've seen standups with 20 people that last 45 minutes as the manager goes around the room, basically. That's not a standup.

It's even worse if PMs and other non-eng are there. Just, stop.

This brings me to my second point: size. Standups need to be small. No more than 4-5 people ideally. In an office environment these people should be in a pod of 4 desks (possibly minus the EM and/or TL who might have broader responsibilities) and they should be able to turn around and talk to each other, at which point you don't really need a standup anyway.

But I can't tell you how many times some EM has triggered crisis mode due to impending deadlines and we end up spending an hour a day with 20 people in a "standup" until the situation improves.
