Right, I was surprised as well by the numbers. Thank you for double checking.
But if you only evoke eval() on non-hacker controlled data in a scripting language, it's probably fine too.
Alex - love your work on Snowplow.

Looking at Jitsu as a Snowplow familiar person I tried to do a quick browse of their marketing site and couldn’t find anything about their back end architecture. Was immediately thinking that wasn’t the focus here which is concerning when thinking about enterprise scalable data patterns.

Also appreciate you taking the high road “room for both” while the founder of Jitsu says “we are better”

I’ll stick with the product with a solid schema strategy, thank you…

I think 1 in 5 is very optimistic. Unless you intend to remove yourself from society, you are very likely to catch Sars-Cov-2 in the upcoming years. Probably more than once. It's endemic and easily transmittable.
Like all evidence, it is actually easy to find both sides. Notably, I have yet to come across a project in clojure, Haskel, or scala that wasn't abandoned as soon as the major advocate for that language left the group.

Sad in the cases where it was a well done project. Frustrating when it was bursting at the seams.
DJI Drones after January 1, 2020 have ADS-B In (they can receive transponder signals). They do not broadcast location. Therefore, they can read transponder signals from nearby aircraft for collision avoidance, but they do not transmit.
I want to say it was TEKSystems. Some caveats here. We may have had to sign an exclusive deal with them, that we would not hire through anyone else. Also, we were a big client with an extremely good relationship with them, they made a lot of money from us. Also, it could've been 30 or 60 days on the limit. But the concept was in place.
Thanks, Neil Peart?[0] I'm not saying "don't choose", or "choose differently". I'm saying one doesn't need to offer alternatives in order to state that $THING might have downsides. Just because I have a lot of money tied up in the U. S. stock market doesn't mean that it's hypocritical to point out the jackassery that can come with capitalism...like ad tech.

I've gotten a little weird about parasites lately after realizing a) how prevalent they are, and b) how resilliant they can be. Simple things like eating vegetables from the garden or walking bare foot outside feel make me feel so uneasy. AFAIK intestinal worm eggs can survive weeks in the soil and the only thing that can really _kill_ them is extreme heat or chemicals that are pretty toxic to humans.
A big portion of the world consists of cat and mouse games like this.

I mean, I saw the “masks required in this county” sign, but I really needed to pee. I knew I was going to be driving through that county for about 20 more minutes, so I checked my car for a mask. I couldn’t find one as there’s no mask mandate in my area so I’ve stopped carrying a mask around. I then held my shirt up as best I could as a “mask” and made a bee line for the bathroom. If they’d had masks at the door I’d have been perfectly fine with putting one on.

I wasn’t making any judgment about the woman yelling at people, I’d be mad if I was being threatened with fines by the local government for having maskless people in my establishment too.

Ask HN: What should I read on GANs and text-to-image NNs?
Hi HN, I really love the field of image synthesis by neural networks - I constantly toy around with VQGAN+CLIP, but what should I read or watch to better understand parameters and the whole process? How do I get to the level of making my own versions?
Because you can already `shuf -n 1 /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx` (or mnames for male ones) or `vis-menu /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx >> momlikednames.list`, and `cat {mom,dad}likednames.list | sort | uniq -d` to find names both parents like.

`shuf /usr/share/dict/words` was how I picked my HN username.
Yea, the VM has a network so it looks "real" and I'm using the network interface to push the files to it (via SSH). Iptables let's related. And on the Host I'm also blocking/logging the VM network.
I love watching these videos; if there is an enterprising programmer who could set up a system to download these videos (or at least email alerts when new ones are published), I'd buy you a cool Lego set :-D!
Dealing with frustrations and learning to process emotions (2021)
I suspect many people would use that for the functionality that it provided, but web standards are always going to move slower than individual developers and UI trends, and that’s good! Imagine if we had to wait for web standards to develop a road map element.
Like others have said: great job. Usually there is a tradeoff of functional, aesthetics, and open source/no tracking where we only get 2 of the 3.

EZ 5-star review for me.
With all the extra energy, I'm sure we'd be able to find and budget for an EOL solution.

After all, I'd be insanity to consume massive amounts of energy without accounting for its future costs.
> We haven't really landed on the right abstraction for async yet

I think there are two 'correct' abstractions for async. One is where you build it as a high level abstraction on top of other concurrency primitives. Elixir's Task.async* functions do this spectacularly, and even do things that you don't get natively from Erlang that make it very nice to work with (by giving you an opinionated way of keying into global state partitions).

The other "correct" async abstraction, imo, is a very thin, low-level abstraction over function frames and context switches. The zig programming language gets this right, IMO. I was able to write a feature that wraps zig's low-level async primitive in an event loop around the erlang's cooperative FFI scheduler, the rust equivalent hasn't figured that out yet, and since zig is colorless, you can use the same function in a non-async context, the yield points are just no-ops (which rust will never let you do, for reasons beyond just safety).
Interesting, I see NFt's as a way to support a thesis or company project! We have the ability to release NFt's simultaneously to our product release so we figured It could be a great opportunity to do both together!
Lol it's nice that you can just send all the covid patients to the city to get treated and you guys can pretend covid doesn't exist
I would say anything having indirect correlation has no easy way to measure. Ultimately a company is either looking for product market fit, customer growth or revenue/profit/cash flow depending which stage the company is in.

On top of being hard to measure, the data points generated through hiring is just too few and the data collection process is too long and subjective

Just ask your team if they like the new hire, can they make progress together. Things like do you like working with the new hire? Is the new hire bringing in new insights to the team? Is the new hire easy to work with? Is the new hire learning new things.

And most importantly, can the team let go of mismatch fast enough.
Overall I would say it is just not worth it in measuring hiring.
So over what time period do you believe we should wait to release a drug to the public? 10 - 25 years after discovery?
Me too, but that was 15 years ago. Manjaro was a trip back to the Bad Old Days.

I'm sure we're deep in YMMV territory, but I gave Manjaro a spin based on the recent hype wave so whenever I see an echo of that wave I feel obliged to share my experience. Shrug.
Harvester – open-source Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Hmm, I don't read it that way. It's just as easy to interpret that subhead as "the dose makes the poison" in which case the author isn't arguing for Communism as the solution but less-pure Capitalism (i.e., not the Wild West). The advertising industry does strike me as a particularly unpleasant outgrowth of Capitalism, and I liked the characterization of it as buying and selling of things without value, not in the trivial sense of monetary value - it has that, clearly - but social value.
LXQt seems like a marriage of great concepts, but I had difficulty finding end-user help last time I tried it. What sites would you go to? Where's the community at?

Unrelated, but I wonder if anyone else feels this. All DEs seem broken/unfinished when the available settings aren't as comprehensive as in Windows or KDE. On Gnome you need gnome-tweak-tool. Without that it just isn't possible to do what feels like very common tasks, which puzzles me. What kind of "playtesting" does the LXQt developers do, how do they get their feedback from users?
One thing that would be cool is to see the name with initials (given family name/middle name) and also to check social media/email accounts and even domain names to see if you can get a unique handle for them based on a few variations ;) Those would make a great gift when they join the internet one day.
Iceland, some AirBnB's have amazing internet access while still being in the middle of nowhere.

Was there for a ~week and it was super cool, made huge progress on a project during work hours, and enjoyed every minute of it.

I still prefer the 'city' life long-term.
I used this for my wedding seating plan. My wife had a link so she could collaborate, and we could share easily with the catering company, the venue, and the decorator so that they could put everything in the right place.

After the wedding, we got feedback from almost everyone that we’d given access to that it was a fantastic tool and it had made everything super easy.

Absolutely brilliant experience, and I know it sounds pithy, but it took a load off our minds knowing that no-one would have different interpretations or versions or broken Excel sheets that didn’t clarify, or ugly Paint drawings etc.

There is nothing here that suggests that:

>very small amount of a substance can cause catastrophic effects a decade later.

Medication failure modes are either short-term acute and found in test quickly, like Trovan example; or where long-term ingestion causes problems.

All of your examples are one of those two.
Master Inventor is a title that still carries a lot of esteem in IBM, albeit not the financial perks any more.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I currently live in a small town in the mountains. Love the mountain aspect of it. The townspeople are progressive in some ways (they try to be 'woke'), but extremely regressive when it comes to development (NIMBYism on steroids). Housing is a major problem, all the restaurants are shit, nothing gets built pretty much ever, most of the tax burden is on the few businesses there are, etc... But it is one of the most beautiful places in the world, objectively (at least outside the town).

Also, lots of the replies so far in this thread mention big cities. I'm wondering what the appeal of cities would be in a 100% remote world without restaurants as, presumably, restaurant workers would be moving to jobs that are remote, no? Or are they just the new serf class?
> the result is that it's no better than just using gevent or twisted

That's because they both use generator cleverness under the hood. What asyncio does do is remove all the monkey patching that makes gevent work.
UUID-as-a-Service
Yes you have it wrong. That goes against medical ethics. You can't give someone a treatment that is net detrimental to them in order to benefit others.
Maybe. Or maybe the interview is to weed out candidates who exhibit wrongthink. Neither option is appealing.
Having my phonecalls automatically forwarded to my laptop is a huge benefit. Being able to use my iPad pro as a secondary monitor for when I have to go into the office is very useful as well. Painless copy-paste between devices is also a huge bonus.

I‘m sure there are ways to get all of that running on linux but I‘d rather spend the time that it would take setting all that up working and let my company pay a bit more on my equipment.
> The impact of the name on the child/teen/adult is often overlooked.

And confusing!

Having my name as a kid was horrible! I was constantly harassed and made fun of for it.

As an adult, it rocks! Close enough to other names to be familiar, but different enough to be memorable.
Why would you think I abandoned it on purpose?

The crash site was a pile of steel beams and other debris from a demolished building.

Do you have suggestions what else I could have done except search for it?
If you choose a common name and your kid has an allergy or something, I guarantee you will pick him up from day care and he'll be eating snacks brought by the parent of one of the other children with the same first name.
> more than 90,000 doses (of monoclonal antibodies) have been given.

COVID Vaccines: "7.19 Billion Shots Given (Globally), and in the U.S. 425 million doses have been given"

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-glo...

This is trivial to google.

Like I said, Monoclonal antibodies are not widely rolled out. Don't extrapolate from Florida.
Vaccination slightly reduces the risk of transmission for individual interactions (at least for a while) but that just stretches the curve out a little. Since SARS-CoV-2 is now endemic throughout the worldwide human population (plus several other mammal species) we can all expect to be exposed multiple times throughout our lives no matter what we do. Fortunately the vaccines are very effective at preventing deaths.

How credit cards make money
I'm kinda surprised given the huge amount of effort the person put into this study that the seemed to overlook the key point of async/await patterns: latency.

Also: how did we come to Python as a web server when there are languages and applications better suited? Do we really want one language to be everything to everyone?
My first suggestion would be to cook it longer than 22 minutes. Instapots only go up to around 9 lbs of pressure on high, from what I read, so any pressure cooking recipe that is expecting a 10-15 lb pressure stove top cooker will need some extra time added. I cook my pintos and red beans for 30 minutes.

I would add a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to the water. I don't reuse my soak water, and I don't salt my water until after they have cooked. I may experiment with adding salt beforehand later, but I suspect that I'll need to add salt to the soak water too for this method.

Adding garlic and bay leafs are nice, but not necessary, as is an onion. For red beans I often blacken an onion on the stove and then throw it in whole in the pot with the beans.

>> Python continues to earn its reputation as the second-best option for most problems

Never heard that line before but it resonates with me.
Thanks for the Paper! I'm looking forward to spend my weekend with it.

Normally I'm a huge fan of a philosophy of backwards compatibility. Clojure has shown that it is possible with enough dedication.
But I feel like it's a liability with the lineage you describe for Rust, the problem space was just too unexplored and vast, and the language has grown too large.

Joe Armstrong has a joke in one of his keynotes [1], that after you've written the first version of something you should throw it away completely, because you didn't understand the problem at all when you wrote your solution, and now you understand it a bit better.

A bit like how the web would be a much less ghastly ecosystem if we hadn't abandoned versioning for living documents which force every behaviour ever to interact, and god forbid be compatible, with one another, in a combinatorial hairball.

Modern browsers would be less unwieldy if they just shipped 30 different rendering engines, one for each major revision, than ship a blob that purportedly is able to still render everyones Dogs website from the 90s (which is not true of course, it's just that nobody from the 90s is here to complain).

It's a bit ironic that Rust fell into the same trap that caused the complexity that inspired its inception in the first place.

Maybe once the major "features" for safe system programming were identified a new language (revision) should have started with only those features at its core. I fear that if such a language were to crop up now, Rust would just eat its children.

jesus people they said they hope it stays: aka socially it becomes normalized. No one is advocating forcing people to wear masks forever.
I want burbclaves. When I’m able to start my own burbclave franchise and restore pizza delivery to 30 minutes or less only then will the metaverse be real.
Maybe not forcing, but if people did it as a curtesy to not get other people sick? Of course, that already happens in some places, and will never happen in others.
I mean, you can sell insurance on anything (profitably) if you can effectively model and price future payouts.
Very interesting. Question:

How did you measure the candidate once hired?

What factors were indicative of a "good" hire vs. a "bad" hire?
FastAPI is hard to contend with for anything marginally complex, without having to dig deep in its internals.

If you want performance, or to apply more rigorous (read: enterprisey) development practices, you really are better off looking elsewhere.

However, you can get a Data Science python developer to front their code behind an API with minimal ceremony.

Type safety does not exist in Python. Type hinting does not solve this problem, neither does Pydantic. These are bandaids for huge shortcomings of using the wrong tool for the job.
I'm sorry you're going through this.

It's very difficult to be a caregiver and, without a doubt, the additional burdens that places on your life make finding the life/work balance even harder. And, then, you have the emotional aspects of having a loved one in their journey.

As a software consultant who simultaneously was a patient (Stage IV melanoma) and a caregiver to my wife (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) with two kids (tween and teen) nine years ago, it was definitely a struggle.

Some suggestions:

* Don't be afraid to ask for help from other friends and relatives to lessen your burden.

* Schedule time for yourself on a regular basis to take a break from the situation. (I personally started regular cycling and yoga, but YMMV.)

* Communicate with your manager and colleagues to help you get some work flexibility. Of course, remote work opportunities will give location flexibility, as there is often a lot of waiting between scans, appointments, and treatments.

* Seek a professional therapist if you need someone to help you sort through the tangle of issues in your head.

I wish you mental peace as you travel this unexpected journey with your mom. It's not easy, but it is possible to navigate this rough patch in life and come out better and stronger on the other side.
Forgive the tangent, but your comment reminded me of item #52 on the venerable "Things to say when you're losing a technical argument" list. :)

Well I'm or was in a bit of a unique situation, I'm running PuppyLinux live on a 4gb RAM, without a disk--only a 16gb flash drive.
Meaning I can't install large apps such as wine.
Since then I've found an Appimage for Proton/Wine[1] that I can save in my flash drive and use occasionally (But I may have to often delete the `.wine/` folder because it take up space).
Also, I didnt care about quality cause I needed to see old low-res textures for reference, i was interested in PSX style games for like 2 days.

My sympathies. This shouldn't require any changes in how you treat or interact with your mother unless changes were already required. We are all dying at all times and life goes on.
"well-tested and -understood vaccines"

In what way are the COVID vaccines not well-tested or not well understood? I understand many laypeople want to declare an arbitrary length of time that they can pretend means a new drug is safe. But the professionals who have informed opinions on the matter are essentially in unanimous agreement that these vaccines have been proven safe.
Definitely, although I think a utility backed NFT could actually have some staying power. I am not so sure we would ever consider creating NFT's without the utility and branding behind the project.
I have watched my father battle with cancer for the last couple years. One of the most difficult things for him has been dealing with the things that he can no longer do physically because of the disease/treatment. So we have tried to focus and emphasize the things that he still can do or find replacements for that can still try and bring him the same joy. For example, he was an avid cyclist but can no longer go mountain biking (or really any biking at this point) anymore. So instead we have tried to take more drives in to the mountains to still replicate some of that feeling

In that same line of thinking, grief counselors can be amazing. While grief counselors are typically associated with loss of a person, they have also helped my father with trying to deal with loss of the person he used to be. It has also been helpful to have a counselor or someone similar that is specifically focused on him, rather than all of his other slew of doctors which are more focused on the disease.

You might want to edit that comment and speak towards cold start times, dependency management, your deployment strategy (e.g. are you using a docker image lambda or zip, etc) and what you're paying for provisioned concurrency to keep those big lambdas warm and available. That's all nuance you're missing from promoting monolith lambdas, and those kinds of things will get the non-architect-minded in hot water.

This is fantastic, wish I had it before we had our fourth and final child. One piece of feedback: when I use the app with my thumb, the natural position for it to rest is right over the name. Consider moving the name more towards the center or top of the screen and making it possible to swipe anywhere in the top yellow area.
