This is awesome to see!

I had a very similar idea recently (representing "big" preprocessing pipelines in Python as DAGs), but for research-scale projects. Funnily enough, I was also motivated by a time series project that has resulted in several thousand lines of gnarly preprocessing code, and growing - mostly in Pandas.

I'm not sure Hamilton would totally work for our use case, but I'll be following closely either way. Thank you for open sourcing this!

AFAIK, it hasn't changed, this exact situation with cgroups is still something I have to tell fellow developers about. Some of them have started using [automaxprocs] to automatically detect and set.

Not really, the solution is just something to offer balance between both sides.
He was larping as an EMT, actually, offering medical help.

There are multiple free blog hosting sites.
The "kingdom" as you say it, involves instutions AND people that depend on it, if only, by habit, but also by trust. Be these habit and trust be misplaced or not is not much relevant: a new system just does not have a hint of these either just because it's new.
Increasing staff won't add more beds to already full hospitals, though. And social distancing has been encouraged for a while, even for the vaccinated, and it hasn't seemed to help.

You're right they would not, because it's not possible to downvote posts on HN :P

In reality, people aren't interested in those posts, so nobody upvotes them and they die. Also most content like that would be created by FB itself, and even I don't want to read self-aggrandizing crap.
sortof off topic but this woman strikes me as a mouthpiece for rightwing talking points. Not saying its all a lie but some stuff does strike me as embellished
> Microsoft has had a good few years of building up their reputation after their self inflicted blemishes from the IE integration fiasco as well as their EEE mode of operation.

Microsoft never changed. There was never a "new Microsoft". Only a new strategy with the same goals as ever: anti competitive behavior, bullying "partners", and what not. Just because they made this or that opensource changes nothing to the nature of that company. Windows 11 is basically just adware at that point.
If there’s a single person to blame for a company’s failure, there isn’t a single person to blame.
Once one company implements a dark pattern, it doesn't take long for other companies to follow suit and claim it's in the spirit of competition.

Instagram's log-in to view anything (even public pages) is everywhere now. If you go to Twitter and click a person's name or click a tweet, you get a log-in pop-up.
So then why are politicians telling people what they can and cannot ingest?

Do you think the scientific process couldn't answer questions about how compounds can help people? Because that is what I meant when I said to let scientists sort it out.

Politicians don't, and never have had, the answers to questions like that because they have no knowledge of or experience with these sort of subjects. Yet they insist on banning substances from not only being used, but also being researched.

So again, why are politicians making these decisions? Why do governmental bodies put themselves in the way of research into some substances? The DEA has held back scientific progress in the field of psychiatry for decades. It's time that ended.

Not to mention, do we not have freedom? Do US citizens not have bodily autonomy? It does not appear that they do. People should have the freedom from others telling them what to do with their brain, and the freedom to choose what to do with their brain themselves.
Given Reddit is notorious for it's problems with astroturfing and vote bots, I don't think this is a particularly promising approach.

That's how a lot of Windows stuff and MS Office stuff is built - as (D)COM components you can arbitrarily connect to from anything that can speak COM.

As I read the story, the Biden administration isn't going ahead with the policy because it's proven effective (if that proof exists somewhere, it isn't in the linked article,) but because courts in pro-Trump states sued to keep it and won. Biden is in the same position that Obama was in regards to the closing of Guantanamo, when Congress simply made it illegal for him to do so - Presidents can't actually rule by diktat.
Let’s assume (and that’s a big if) that crypto is a fundamentally better foundation to base finance on. Even if it is, we cannot presently know that it is, and we cannot predict what its unique failure scenarios will be and how to counter them. Therefore for me arguing a headlong dive into crypto is indeed like a junior developer arguing for the big rewrite.

I also fail to see the fundamental difference between crypto and gold. Anyone can mine gold, there is no central authority creating gold or determining its value. Gold is just as decentral a currency as crypto. If gold was not the solution to the financial system, why would crypto be?
brave 'falls back' to bing. which in my experience is most of the time. in fact, out of all the queries i did a while back, they all seemed to come directly from bing. is there a way to disable the reliance on bing and get pure 'brave only' results? and can you be more specific as to what this fraction is? do you blend at all?
Go Tools – Part 1
Firefox's greatest fault is Mozilla. They reinvent the UI every couple years, and seem hell-bent on stripping away power-user features.

They also managed to ruin their privacy-oriented Firefox focus browser on mobile, by making it redirect website links to compatible apps - completely butchering its only use case as a private browser that lets you be online without any permanent sessions

You're right, but it's because we made the conscious decision to not have a totally-open playing field after seeing how it went.

It's like the old code base: we made a bunch of incremental design decisions over 50+ years that are all layered on top of each other. They are now so complex that nobody can coherently explain the whole thing. But does that mean we should burn it down? Not necessarily. If we rebuild from scratch, we're liable to simply re-learn why we built the hacky solution in the first place.

Crypto is great. It's a wonderful innovation - and will likely succeed in many ways. But it won't replace central banks and regulators (except, potentially, by replicating them) because the institutions are actually useful.
Looking good is very subjective of course… did you take a look at wxWidgets?

That's not where it ends - where it ends is that you become a slave with a third party able to inject you with whatever they like whenever they like, and people that resist having their posessions stolen, their livelihood taken away and being herded into concentration camps - which is ALREADY HAPPENING in Australia. If you want this for yourself, you friends or your family you are insane.
You are misreading the graph. The y axis is a percentage of total infections, not absolute number of infections. You can't tell from it whether the number of Delta infections is down, steady, or even up.
The top of my tall monitor is level with the top of my landscape monitor.

So I look down to see the bottom of my tall monitor, straight ahead to see the top of either.

I also have one overhead monitor to glance up at for reference or other pages. 80% of my work is done on my main monitor. 15% on the tall. 5% on the overhead. The overhead is still very useful though.
https://kagi.com/ is a new engine (and Orion Browser) which seems like what you're talking about. I've been using it some and like it so far. The browser is fantastic.
I've been using kagi.com for a month or so now, and it consistently beats DDG and Ecosia for result quality. I'd guess it beats Google too, since last time I used Google it was nothing but ads and spam which is why I stopped.
Nice.

I'd pay 5-10$/mo for a search engine that didn't just funnel me into the revenue-extracting regions of the web like Google does.
Ask HN: Why aren't there any comprehensive Manning/O'Reilly books on MERN?
Given MERN's popularity, it's surprising that there isn't any book focusing on it as a whole. "Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node (Manning)" is the closest I can get.
Plus, MERN books you'd recommend to a Rails developer?
Please do it! Google is now complete trash.

Also gmail, used to have the best spam filters out there, now it's utter crap. Emails from my google analytics account, for whatever reason and disregarding how many times I have clicked on "Not Spam", go to spam, and it's their own service; while messages who are textbook spam ("Hi, I just got some inheritance ...") go to my inbox.

AI (in its current state) is crap, when is the industry going to accept these are the emperor's new clothes.
>Then there's nothing stopping people from building crypto banks on top of those base protocols, which could add in consumer protections like refunds

It seems the centralization is unavoidable if people want the protections of our modern financial system...
I think Chrome handles themes best, at least on Linux. It automatically grabs your GTK stylesheet's color palette and recolors the window accordingly. Combined with proper window decorations, it's a surprisingly "native" feel out of the box.

Neither one of those things are reliable sources of information across candidates or universities.
What you describe is infuriating. Many shows suffer from the same issue that even background noise obscures dialogue of main characters that is crucial for the story. It got so prevalent and so annoying that I started to vote with my feet.

If in the first few minutes I have problems hearing the dialogue, I just stop watching, leave a 1-star review with a comment that the audio is incomprehensible and ask for a refund in case I paid for watching. Hopefully, the others would start doing the same and the trend will go away.
I would use subtitles all the time if it didn't ruin dramatic and comedic timing. I often find myself wishing movies and video games had "proper nouns only" subtitles.
You could say that the distributed system of politics has bad regulation.

The regulations constrain the system in such a way to produce two huge opposing parties, and encourage corruption of their members.

Regulations like the voting system(s) in use, the regulations on who can donate how much to whom, or how corruption and other rule breaking by politicians is investigated and punished (or not punished, as the case may be).

And I'm not just talking about the US here - although US politics is a giant dumpster fire in this regard.
Absolutely entertaining post. I loved it.

Haha the sticky notes and photos. Quality entertainment.
Quite likely, yes. And no.

In the part of Germany where I live, 7-day incidence among the unvaccinated is 1726, which is much worse than last winter, and it's 112 among the vaccinated. Hospitalisation tells a similar story: The unvaccinated are suffering.

If that 1726 would rise as it did last winter, a lot of unvaccinated fools would die. A hundred thousand dead in three months, perhaps.
During the pandemic's "shelter in place", I started watching (and re-watching) older movies (anything pre 2000). I'm still on that binge.... I also got into 35mm film photography (developing it at home in my bathroom), and learning a ton about the chemistry, etc... I've discovered, and in some cases re-discovered, how much I prefer the older movies over newer ones. And my work in 35mm/analog gives me a new appreciation for movies shot on film. Movies like the original "Planet of the Apes" has found new appreciation in my eyes. There are some real, true, gems from the 60s - 90s.

Edit: I know this comment isn't about the audio, specifically - but rather, just about how movies have changed more generally.
I understand that. My point was that fb was treating him as a mass murderer even though he wasn't. And the names of mass murderers are frequently banned shortly after the event...I'm sure it is eventually lifted but that is how they operate.
Yes and no. A lot of those sites are small local businesses trying to get found. A front page listing can be the difference between surviving and going under. Much of the time the blog spam is what floats hours, contact info, and services provided to the first page.
Perhaps the Dell 30" LCD UP3017A?
Can you also create a web comparable to the 2005 web?

Well, it's wikipedia. So just create a search engine for that, since their search sucks rocks.
I agree. I dont think all systems require consensus and its likely most things do not. When it comes to things that optimizes for survival, it is likely we will need consensus to be productive.

Consensus only need to happen when we are close to one another. Technology has the side effect of bringing us closer together.
It's a ridiculous name because it's a ridiculous company. "Private" search engine, hosted on US-based Microsoft Azure servers? Give me a break, what a complete joke.
I agree that it's similar to a hard fork (and has similar problems), but would argue that (due to the "interdisciplinary" nature of fintech) it's not incompetence or laziness but rather the blind spot/hubris of being a technical person looking at a social system.

An experienced developer has seen enough technical systems to understand the lurking complexity and hard problems within them. Realizing that applies to other systems is a separate insight, and one that is harder to reliably teach/learn. It's not enough to dabble in other fields - it's easy to do that as a mental tourist, assuming your prior experience generalizes.

Learning these challenges requires a form of intellectual empathy - believing that people who think hard about things that are alien to you are still thinking hard, and have probably tried your first intuitions already, as well as things you've not thought of yet.
That#s what I like most about this browser I think. I have the UI scaled down to 80% (would recommend to anybody to give this a try as well!).
When variations in Earth's orbit drive biological evolution
You can't simply increase hospital staff - these are highly trained people. That's an investment that takes years to pay off. Encouraging social distancing doesn't work, people are tired of it and many either didn't care in the first place or don't care now that they are fully vaccinated.

Many western countries messed up big time by not investing enough into their health care systems or into properly educating their population. So now they're out of options.
Maybe one thing is more frustrating: stalebot closing issues that have recent responses (I count emoji reactions).
Pinned pages + containers + Sidebery = my current optimized browsing experience. I was, however, thinking of creating my own home page with all the pinned links to make it easier to recreate my setup in case the browser blows up or to use on a new box.
I don't see a difference between not listing something and listing it below an infinite number of null results.

Then build new hospitals. Or learn to live with it.

Authoritarianism isn’t somehow justified because current actions “haven’t seemed to help.” That’s the playbook of every oppressive regime since the beginning of time: this is an emergency so we don’t need to follow laws or respect rights.
Funny, because I seem to remember the media bleating on at length about burkas etc. in Afghanistan being oppressive when it suited them.
Morality is not a requirement in my world. Ethics in a given paradigm do matter to me though, and discriminating based on my morals about someone's employment history would be a clear violation of ethical hiring practices.

The phrase "making the world a better place" is also lost on me. How many startups have said this, only to make it better for some people but worse for others? It's an illusion we tell ourselves.

Same. I started turning on subtitles because of noisy kids, but now I have them on most of the time. I hear lots of people say they are distracting or they ruin comedic or dramatic timing, but you quickly get used to it. You learn to read them only when you need to.

Religious conversion is by definition a conversion to a religion. In civilised countries schools don't spread religion. Teaching basic rationality and logic isn't conversion.

Catholic child conversion is forceful in that it ignores the will of the subject. You'll find that even though children tend to follow their parents, many/most of children of Catholic parents don't want to have anything to do with that religion once they grow up. You'll also find that the chance of someone becoming a Catholic is close to zero unless they have been indoctrinated from very early age. You'll find a lot of statistics showing both.
People defend Windows because they don't have the same experience as you. I don't either. Windows is a rock solid OS that I use at work and it just works. For instance, the machine I'm typing this on has a 250 day uptime, my second W10 box next to it has a 460 day uptime. I use them every day to get stuff done. I work in biotech, not in s/w dev land, and my computer is IT managed (so maybe they're doing something special). I don't ever fiddle with the OS, registry or whatever and I usually can find a PortableApps option for stuff that I need to use.
No. Competition is healthy and that includes browser rendering engines too.

FWIW a couple of friends of mine really enjoyed tenet watching it in the cinema

They all wanted to rewatch it so we saw it in my home cinema and I put on subtitles, and everyone agreed that once they could actually understand the dialog, it was not a very good movie at all…
I left FB (well WhatsApp) in 2019. I didn't necessarily care about downvotes, but commenting on work related matters is generally a no go, I wasn't authorized to speak about work stuff, and I didn't want to say anything that's going to get me in trouble at work.

Also, while I might sometimes have wanted to mention something, I certainly didn't want to answer follow up questions, and that provides unsatisfying dialog.
Well, I'd say the biggest difference was that in the EU, many countries would give you 80% unemployment to stay home for many months.

In the US, you'd get a few thousand $, many months later. So yeah, you might have had a similar chance to catch COVID but your livelihood and financial security were much more secure in Europe.

Policy-wise w/r/t COVID, EU and US are nowhere near NZ, Tiawan or China. Now that's containment taken seriously and it shows.

Interesting, I was looking for a good benchmark like this. For me Google returned it at #5 with an image/related terms carousel before it which places it physically more around #7 on the page. Brave Search (never tried it before today) puts Poe's Law at #8. So Google is still better.

The problem is that it's not just an optional stylesheet, it's enabled by default for everyone who uses dark mode on the OS level, with no easy way to opt back out except by changing a global system-wide setting—a casual user probably wouldn't even notice that there are two potential themes!
