I buy tomatoes with Japanese yen. Obtaining that Japanese yen is a cumbersome and expensive process which I mentioned elsewhere in this comments section[0]. I am the CEO of an automated trading firm, which involves paying for various professional services, usually by wire transfer, which is also cumbersome and expensive. When possible, I pay for things and accept payments in actual blockchain currency, because it is dramatically cheaper and more convenient, but this is admittedly not the norm.

In the event of a decline in the market price of cryptocurrencies, I sort of expect USDC to still be worth about 1 dollar.

This is an important story. I really needed that reminder.

Idleness is where all the "magic" in my life has happened. Idleness is where the biggest ideas came to me. And the important people in my life, too.

And yet, here I am, trying to "optimize" the time I need to bring my 5 year old to bed in the evening, and to pre-school in the morning.

Kids still have this sense of idleness. They have no concept of hurrying. They see little sense in doing things faster, or optimizing your path towards a goal. They always look around, and if there are any flowers, they'll pick some. In the process, they might totally forget what their initial goal was. They might come back to it later. But they also might do something totally different instead. And every single day, for them, is an adventure.

There's probably nothing wrong with picking goals or sticking to them. But there is a boundary somewhere. Somewhere where there is haste involved, or fear, or coersion. Where we make ourselves the object of either someone else, or of an idea. Where we, in other words, cease to be a conscious doer.

Then again, there's that concept of flow. Being "in the moment". Is that good, or is that bad? A child at play can be in "flow". But a compulsive gambler can be, too.

So year. Perhaps part of the problem is that it's so unclear where the boundary lies.

I think this would be very much based on where you live. I went 10+ years without a car while I was living in cities and it only made life simpler.

I now live on a farm and life would be near impossible without a vehicle unless I went Armish style with horse and cart and buggy.

If this person lived NY vs back country Montana it would be 2 very different stores.
I don't think people understand the complexity of the supply chain. If it were possible for the manufacturers to directly sell to retail customers, they would be more than happy to cut off distributors and pocket that additional margin for themselves.

For a manufacturer to handle returns, expired products etc from retail customers or even retail outlets while having a manufacturing base in a different city/town is a huge headache. Many products (example: dairy and other perishables) require daily deliveries to retail outlets from manufacturers. Try doing this without a distributor arrangement.
I used to read it in the city library, and once I even borrowed a whole year's journals to binge-read. I learned a lot of coding techniques from articles in it back in the day.
>77% of agricultural land is devoted to livestock. We could return a lot of that land to wilderness if we adopted a whole food plant based diet.

You have to be careful here. Livestock is generally carbon sinks. Those cow patties are taking co2 into grass and then depositing it into the ground.

Flipside, plant based diet has a deadline.

We are already 70% degraded and only slowly the process by spraying oil byproducts on the land. If we kill the oil industry, that erosion increases in speed.

A more recent publication was looking at the moulds vs fungus balance and it's even worse than the above proposes.

We have to get into regenerative farming to reverse this problem and that includes keeping livestock for those cow patties.
I really don't like this way of thinking about it.

e isn't important, the exponential function is. e shows up so often because we've chosen to write exp(x) as e^x. It's a result of a notational choice - the fact that exp(1) = 2.718.. and we call that e is pretty insignificant and boring.

The evolution of PHP has shown the difference that having engaged stewards of the language can make. Saw a list of quotes[1] from Rasmus Ledorf which I think explains it's stagnation. As someone who used to sneer at the language, modern PHP doesn't look out of place among Ruby, Python, etc.

It routinely goes to -20 C every winter in my hometown, near Florina. Granted, that's in the night, but we do walk around in that kind of weather. Luckily, it's not very humid, or it would have been extremely hard to go out.

AFAIK Israel is quite a bit warmer than Greece, since you guys are much closer to Cyprus (and Cyprus has a noticeably warmer climate than us), no?

Government stimulus is the main reason there's been a bull market and that's why banks' profits have been through the roof. I'm pretty sure that whether or not bankers worked remotely had little to do with it.

When J Powell eventually turns off the money printer, the market is going to pull back, the banks are going to go through leaner times, and the old-school executives in charge of them are going to be in a much stronger position to argue for employees to come back to the office, regardless of the merits.
You have to watch out about some of these linting tools, though, in case you get slavishly attached to their prescriptions. Some of these tools insist that you can never use passive voice, for instance, and that can lead to some truly barbaric phrasing in some docs I've read where it reads like the writer bent themselves into a pretzel trying to get to the active voice.

In Matt Might's recommended reading section for that tool he points out Style: The Basics of Clarity and Grace by Joseph Williams, and reading that book and really learning a lot of things it shows will be much more helpful overall for your writing. Its use of contrasting examples is very effective. For instance, it shows how the passive voice can be a very powerful tool for controlling the flow of topics and ideas and actions in a sentence or paragraph. Through the passive voice you can improve the clarity and coherence of a piece of prose. As Matt Might says, it's about making it a conscious decision rather than to enforce all controlling rules.
I have been an IT sysadmin or data center admin or sysadmin+sysadmin manager for almost 30 years. I have worked at small places and huge campuses... I will throw my $0.02 in, which may not be worth 1-bit.

You said: > my background is with information security and it's going to be a big challenge for me because it's my first job.

I see a lot of good advice for people who kinda-sorta know what they are doing. You did not say if this was a linux-based job or a windows-based job. This makes a small difference. If this was a windows-only shop, my advice would change slightly (e.g. Do you understand windows automated deployment with a system like SCCM or whatever you have in-house? Do you know powershell? From your comment, I think the answer is "no".) If this was a linux-only shop, again my advice would change (Do you know how to write any code in any language? From your comment, again, I think the answer is "no".)

You say you are confused about how to manage everything, I am assuming you do not mean "I have a huge pile of IT inventory" and what you mean is "I have 200+ different pieces of software/applications running, how to keep track of all of them, their status, upgrades, needs, etc."

Every sysadmin I ever worked with that was worth their weight was at one time a programmer, CS major or CS graduate. I do not know if you have the time to learn programming in this position, so I would ask the following question:

Is it your desire to be a sysadmin as a career or do you want to do Info Sec as a career?

If you want to be a sysadmin, you need to learn some programming. Pick something that fits in with what kind of shop you are in (win/linux/mixed). If you do not want to be a sysadmin, figure out only how to keep the ship afloat, and start looking for an InfoSec job. You will eventually dislike the sysadmin position. It takes a special kind of person to automate everything they do, and build things only to tear them apart later (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01672...).

Most people in here have given great advice, but IMHO I am not sure if it fits in with your skill level. I do not mean any insult, but I knew InfoSec people who were expert sysadmins, and others who knew nothing about the job.

Interesting, that's very close. :)

Since I had a bunch of software open and the system had been online forever, I restarted and tested again — turns out it squeezed a couple of ms to ~16ms on shared-mode.

By the way, I believe the low latency stack is enabled system-wide, so Reaper should already be using it.

For what it's worth, on my game I've been piping a SunVox instance to a 128-samples shared-mode WASAPI stream and haven't encountered distorted audio, yet.

At the end of the day, I guess I would indeed default to recommending WASAPI unless one has hardware with great ASIO drivers.
In North America, as far as I know there are a few modular standards at different sizes, so definitely not new as a concept. For small things like Ethernet, USB, and coaxial there is the keystone standard which is common and very cheap [0], and for larger things like switches there are standardized rectangular "gangs" that fit larger modules, including keystone plates.

Nobody at all other than you says summer and winter temperatures are anomalies. Really - what are you on about? This is a completely irrelevant example. Again who is getting confused here? There is no misunderstanding at all on the meaning of this data just quibbling on the word usage. Even if we call summer and winter temperature variations anomalies - who cares?

Anomaly is used because this is a new phenomenon due to human actions. You have no apparent concern about this but are just worrying about word usage.

Why do you think that the word temperature anomaly is used in climate science? The important issue is the global risk not your carping about the terminology.

To add to the other side. I cannot imagine not having a capability to just gather my things and leave. All it takes is savings that can keep you running in modesty for 6 months. In my country, including health insurance, without mortgage/debt/kids its about 10k usd ("central" europe).

The fact that e = 2.718... is a fundamental property of the exponential function, though. It's not an arbitrary choice.

In general, Cyprus has much warmer summers than even Crete, for example, and much warmer seas. This is all anecdotal, but everyone I've heard (and from when I've traveled there), they're always having more and longer heat waves than us, and everyone comments about how warm the sea there is.
You're greatly overestimating the difficulty of living car-less in a city designed for it. Even in all the places you are discussing, people used to do this all the time in the times before AC was invented. It's true that there are places like Phoenix, AZ, where it's not really possible to survive (or at least thrive) without constant AC, but this is currently the exception even in the South.
All true, but Go had previously chosen not to use all that knowledge in favor of simplicity in its calling convention and therefore implementation. But like many systems that did so, real world performance implications end up justifying additional complexity.

Ask HN: References for budding data scientists productivity benchmarks?
A local engineering uni is sending one of their students to a local software development firm for a three-months stint, in order to train her as a prospective, entry-level data scientist or scientific programmer after her BSc graduation. The student knows theoretical Python, understands the fundamentals of data science and is able to set up a working pipeline under Windows and Linux. The professor is asking for a modern productivity benchmark reference or two, so that the student can use next month to try and improve her skills before starting. Any good practical tip from you smart HNers? Thanks.

To answer that question you need to dive into the original data set (if you want to see yourself: Search ONS death by vaccination status, in the .xlsx it's sheet 'Table 4').

There is a reason why the person who made the chart started with 19-Mar-2021: There aren't enough deaths before. Even for the 21-Mar data point it's only 5 deaths!

Luckily ONS does provide confidence intervals (column J, K). There is even a marker in the sheet called 'u' to highlight unreliable data due to small numbers. But whoever made the chart was not interested in either (why?).

While we are already in the full data set, note that the death rate for the unvaccinated group is appr. 4.0 (!) in Jan 2021.

There might also be another reason (hypothetical based on anecdotes): The very first to be vaccinated in the 10-59 group were likely nurses and doctors.

> the fact that exp(1) = 2.718.. and we call that e is pretty insignificant and boring.

The constant itself is still pretty interesting. Using e as a base for all numbers yields optimal information density IIRC. Binary (base 2) is close to e so it's information density is not bad, but this also tells us that trinary (base 3) would be even better on this metric since it's closer.

There are lots of interesting properties like this that end up linked to e.

> If an ebike can take a car off the road, I'm all for it!

Most e-bike usage does effectively mean one less car on the road.

The problem I (and many others) have with e-bikes is that they're putting extra strain on the already-insufficient (in the US at least) pedestrian/cyclist infrastructure. Many of those paths could barely support the users they already had safely; the addition of even more users and yet another speed mismatch has been a bit of a disaster. The real answer, of course, is more such infrastructure, but it's a bit of a classic chicken-and-egg problem. Nobody's going to build such infrastructure (which is terribly expensive due to the fact that it would generally require exercise of eminent domain) without demand, but demand is going to be limited until the infrastructure improves. I don't know of a good way out of that bind, unfortunately.
This may be regarded as a low value comment so I apologize in advance.

Java is a high-level programming language, it means that we don't need to know the internals of the language and how it works under the hood to be a Java developer.
