Follow the science means gather data and see what works, it's not about philosophical differences about whether lockdowns are good or not from a philosophical perspective but whether they actually have their intended outcomes, i.e. reduction of infections and deaths.

It would be idiotic to think lockdowns don't make a difference for a highly contagious airborne virus. The fewer people there are out and about the less chances the virus has of jumping from one host to the next. That's not even following science, that's just basic logic. But people don't have logical skills anymore because they keep consuming nonsense from their internet connected pocket supercomputers.
Yeah, ok that must be the distinction.

However, I see that the TOS says you may not "perform or publish" benchmarks. Seems this still violates the "or publish" part, even if Fastly avoided doing the performing. What would be the point of forbidding publishing if it is already forbidden to perform said benchmarks in the first place? The TOS seems to also forbid publishing on the benchmark even when someone else performs the Fastly part of the benchmark.

Edit: It must be the TOS doesn't apply if you don't use the service.
That sucks, I had never gone in after warranty though, maybe once it was under a month and they gave me another one. Usually if you get a nice genius they’ll help you out, I didn’t try after the warranty and just repaired it myself. Knowing how bad they are now, I will never set foot in one again and I’d rather repair it myself after a year.
plenty of decisions that result in the death of people in the medical industry and others suffer no consequences, but it's pointless to debate your unspecified hypothetical.

Not sure how you can possibly look at something that kills 40,000 people in the US a year and chalk it up to personally responsibility of the Driver. I guess you live in an a less complicated world, must be nice.
Small government is a fig leaf primarily focused on gutting social programs while allowing expensive wars.
Everyone does corporate videos and pictures under "ideal" conditions. I even watched a documentary on how McDonalds takes the perfect hamburger pictures and how they doctor it. I assume most people by now assume everything corporate is doctored. And then even sometimes corporate news, media and reviews are even doctored thanks to relationships, payoffs and pay to play schemes.

Nothing I’m talking about requires me to get licensed to operate a money transmitting company.
The one golden rule at Amazon is to externalize all costs that are paid by use of a human being’s labor and time.

Regulations don’t stand a chance of moving quickly enough to keep up with Amazon’s innovation budget. The only way to counter that is worker unions, which can make specific and timely demands that Amazon treat workers more humanely.

If workers unionize, Amazon has to stop externalizing the cost of labor.

That vile emulsion helped me lose and keep off over 100 pounds, kind of by accident.

My blood sugar was higher than I wanted, and so I was making adjustments to try to lower it. I decided to try to shift toward lower carbs--but instead of aiming to reduce the absolute amount of carbs, I decided to try to reduce the percent of my calories that came from carbs hoping that the issue was one of balance rather than magnitude.

For sandwiches, the way I reduced the percentage of calories from carbs was to switch from ordering my sandwiches with no mayo or light mayo to getting them with regular mayo. I also started ordering them with double meat, and sometimes also oil or double cheese.

I did similar things with other foods. If a particular food had options, I'd add the options that increased proteins and fats. E.g., extra cheese and extra meat on pizza.

If a particular food I wanted could not be adjusted by adding fats or proteins, I'd try to only eat it in meals where I did have enough other fat and proteins to keep the carb percentage of the meal down.

As a completely unanticipated side effect of this, I found that my total calorie intake dropped by 30-40%. Evidently adding more fats and proteins made my food more satisfying and so I ended up not feeling the need to eat as much as before.
Print ads don't have any security risks, they don't track you, they're less distracting, and they don't cost you anything extra like bandwidth. I think your analogy might hold up if ads on the web weren't so intrusive.
That's a reasonable default for 99% of Tor users. For that last 1%, there is the safe/safer/safest slider bar that is a single click away.

Javascript also has nothing to do with these attacks. Even if you turn off Javascript, KAX17 can still attempt end-to-end correlation attacks. This is much scarier than a Javascript browser exploit.
I was baffled at that comment too. iOS should pause playback on headphone disconnection (wired or otherwise) as well. My only guess would be some sort of rogue app that doesn't respond to OS notifications, so it continues to play sound even after disconnection. In that case the OS would obligingly send the audio stream to the default device (ie. on device speakers). That said the default apps (eg. music or podcasts) should be fine.
I do not believe I suggested doing anything against the ToS. I think you're misinterpreting the clause. But not being a lawyer, I don't really want to get into that discussion.

where is the critique? what is the useful information?
It has been easier. Which means I get to bed at a sane time. But it's also letting some of my non-programmer (or novice programmer) friends keep up better and participate without as much frustration (as 2019, half those problems were barred to them because they couldn't figure out the IntCode stuff).
I don’t know, that’s why I asked. I’m not sure why a legitimate question is being downvoted.

Same. Do SWE/SDE roles also involve drug tests and orientations?
Everyone's ear canals are shaped differently, so yes, lots of variation.
I had very very negative experience with Apple hardware issues and I agree so much about how bad is the service now.

First time on a very brand new MacBook Pro (1 day old). The laptop screen was glitching for no reason. The service center took it for repair, and when they gave it back, they visibly damaged the computer in the process (with a screwdriver they damaged part of the case), and then denied causing the damages.

At the end, they didn't even fix the issue (they changed motherboard, when it was obviously a screen or screen cable issue, not a motherboard one because the issue didn't appear on screenshots nor on external monitors).

I had to take the losses, I hate this company so much for this, by principle.

Second time, the MagSafe-style charger of my other MacBook computer took fire, Apple never acknowledged the issue, and neither offered replacement and pointed only to legal and stopped responding.

This company really has shitty processes handling defects in their own products.

I keep buying because the alternatives are very weak in comparison and outdated, but really, if you get a bad product from Apple you are fucked.
In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion
That sounds neither convenient or cheap. How is setting up a raspberry so simple, yet using youtube so hard? It's getting absolutely silly now. Its not an argument, if your option were the preferred then it would be the predominant means of consuming content, but it's not. Your reasoning is that people use this method not because it's the most preferred but because they cant manage their shit, or are manipulated by big business. Is that not condescending?
Ask HN: Software companies please hire more in Australia!
Software Engineers in Australia are cheap, and of good quality ($100k for good senior dev as opposed to $300 in the US). Australia is one of the best countries in APAC attracting talents from Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, India and China.

Really hope more interesting tech companies can open office in Australia. It's a good deal!

If you can open office in Melbourne it will be the best :)

Just me dreaming about working for good companies in this corner of the world.

With an immersion blender and a right sized container you can make your own mayonnaise in less than a minute. And true, its good and fun for a change, but still not as good as Dukes (the "crap" sold in stores). A BLT is not a BLT without Dukes.

Of course reasonable people can disagree: Julia Child was a huge Hellmans fan. Child advised people not to make their own mayo "because Hellmann's is the best."

It should be possible for each person to create multiple digital identities and have them linked using zero-knowledge proofs. If we can solve the messy problem of giving everyone (arbitrarily many uncensorable pseudonymous) IDs with their own key pairs, it should be relatively simple to layer on top of that all the functionality and privacy guarantees we would want from an ID system.

For example, once a reasonable digital ID system exists, we can start to build trust systems, such that your good reputation among one community can be used to bootstrap your reputation in a new community. Again, zero-knowledge proofs should be a viable mechanism for conveying trust relationships without having to reveal your social graph.

Some of this data would have to be stored off-chain, or only in encrypted form on-chain, but I don't think there are any practical limits of blockchain technology which prevent this.

I cannot believe Tesla is developing humanoid robots. That, to me, would be a monumental shift for humanity. Do people not understand that has the potential to completely revolutionize labor forever? Tesla is at the scale where they can supply robots to the entire world, it's only a matter of ironing out the technology.

Elon is so obsessed with Starship but at the end of the day landing on Mars is mostly a novelty. The Tesla bot would have a vastly greater impact on humanity, for better or worse.
this reads like the opposite of a systematised process - this reads like a bunch of departments who don't talk to each other striving to check off tasks in the onboarding process without actually making any effort to complete the intent of the task. Which would make sense at a highly metric-driven company like Amazon.
If one is writing CUDA code manually, isn't said one also trying optimize the code for performance? Otherwise, it'd just be ran on a CPU.
> A green arrow means you're protected and as long as other people are obeying traffic signals, you shouldn't run into other people.

> Lots of drivers don't understand this.

This is logical.
But, I've seen firsthand in Quebec (the city of Sherbrooke) where that's not the case. A driver may have a green arrow at the SAME TIME that a pedestrian has a walk signal. And in St. Thomas USVI I've seen opposing traffic have conflicting signals too (green arrow at same time oncoming traffic has green to go straight!)
This seems somewhat true based on spikes in the Southern US during the summer (people stay inside where there is AC), but doesn't seem to be the whole story. If that was the case, you would expect to see similar spikes in areas where there is say a week of rain (should be easy to measure in parts of Europe).

In my country - where for the last month we've basically had no sun, just clouds - there is a distinct spike around winter, which would follow nicely with the vitamin D theory. However in places like Southern Europe, which still has a good amount of sun during winter, there are similar spikes.
There are plenty of white collar workers in that subreddit, including software engineers.
When people say, "it's expensive to be poor" this is one of the issues they're talking about.
That premise is false. There's always money to be made by selling people's attention. They'd put ads under people's eyelids if they could. People who open up their wallets and spend money are worth even more money to advertisers. The more you pay, the more ads they want to subject you to.

The only way to get rid of them is to deny them any attention at all. They are not entitled to it under any circumstances. Drive their return on investment as close to zero as possible.
MA allows right on red arrow after stop (absent a sign to the contrary). There are intersections where right on red is prohibited to protect a pedestrian walk phase that’s aligned with the green for straight ahead traffic.
You misspelled "fellow human beings".
I clicked feeling like it would be impossible to give them a fair chance in 3 minutes, but reading it I definitely am on the workers side and he gave them way more than 3 min.

This is a Kafka level story, having long dealings with an obviously incompetent and labyrinthine organization, only to be immediately penalized for the slightest miss on his own part. Especially the "if you're not at your workstation in one minute you'll be penalized / where is my workstation / I dont know" bit is straight out of The Castle or something.

Anyway, I agree with his overall feeling on the state of labor now.

Pretty sure most folks with relation database experience outside of MySQL already knew. It's just jarring to hear it from someone who was "on the inside".

MySQL is a 26 year old database engine. 26 years.

MySQL (not MariaDB) started enforcing CHECK constraints only 2.5 years ago in v8.0.16. Before that it would parse them (to make migrations from other DBs easier) but not actually use them.

Or the fact that DDL changes weren't transactional, so a goof up halfway through leaves your schema in an indeterminate state.

How making a temporary table for intermediate transaction state/materialization? (Since after all MySQL doesn't support materialized views.) Oh! You wanted to use that temp table more than once in the same query through joins? Too bad. So sad. One use per, sadly. Just create a temp_stuff_2 table and re-run the original query. MariaDB finally fixed that 5 years ago, but still an issue in MySQL today.

His comments about it not being a state-of-the-art product are well founded and well publicized.
https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html

If MySQL works for you, use it. But I compare it to something like the original Bourne Shell. It works. It's seemingly everywhere. If all you need is something simple, it can work well. And only folks who haven't used anything else ever think it's anything close to the best out there.
I've interviewed there twice and I gave up on them twice because honestly it was about the same thing with no one knowing what they were doing and being EXTREMELY slow about everything else. In the space between my first screening and an email to schedule an interview day, I applied at another place, did 3 interviews and a coding test, negotiated an offer, accepted an offer, and quit my current job. It was absolutely wild.
I have a Consumer Reports account and doing a quick search the only laptops with a 5/5 "Predicted Reliability" rating are from Apple, everything else is a 4/5 or less

It looks like LG would be the likely 2nd place as well, since they're the only brand besides Apple consistently getting a 5/5 on "Owner Satisfaction"
Hmm this is an interesting anecdote to compare against the view ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29459245 ) that:

> In the Earnings Call in July of this year, they said they now employe 950,000 warehouse workers. They're probably over the 1 MM mark right now due to the holidays. Yes, there are plenty of people working there that are overqualified, but that is the beauty of what Amazon is doing. Their onboarding and recruiting for this is incredibly smooth, fast, and will give virtually everyone a chance.

I guess if you hire 500,000 people per year and 99% of people have an excellent onboarding process there will be 5,000 bad stories?
Hi Concrete

Congratulations on the launch - I just had some thoughts that I wanted to pass on.

I signed up with a disposal email. Once I was logged in, the process seemed very intuitive and straight forward. However my experience was that this is something that really should have been a free calculator accessible on your website and not something that should require the hassle of signup & email verification. In fact, it took longer to register an account than my total session time using the product.

Once I had generated a plan, I clicked on the logo at the top and I was taken back to the public website and had to login again. On login, all my changes had been reset to the default which made me wonder why have an account in the first place?

Your mission sounds noble and I wish you well on its execution. I also liked your name and branding. It's a product I would trust in that regard.

Some feedback for you:

I've tried many of these over the years and always hope I'll find one I like. This is probably the best so far, but I ended up uninstalling it after about 2 minutes of experimenting for the following reasons:

- The left side-bar text is too big

- I actually prefer Arial/Helvetica to the typeface you chose

- Formatting of—not sure what they're called, but the place where disambiguation notices pop up at the top of the article under the title—feels a little off
Blinking red would be a stop and proceed when safe sign. There’s no reason for each car to stop for a lot of these unprotected left turns.
I absolutely agree with this sentiment.

Many engineers, product advocates, and sales engineers/architects build careers, playbooks, and talk tracks around debunking or handwaving others (and sometimes their own) benchmarks.

The pressure to make a sale and your livelihood against a customer that is looking at products on a top ten scorecard is a lot of pressure

I wouldn't mind ads if there was any resemblance of self-restraint what they put on there. But yes, the web has become absolutely unbearable without blockers. I guess some big sites were always bad, but now just everything is plastered.

I recently used Youtube with all the ads for the first time in a long while and its just abhorrent. From extremely low quality minutes long text-to-speech ads, some that make questionable/dangerous (and in my country illegal) health claims, videos getting interrupted more often than in the old tv days to entire sponsored music videos played before the music I actually wanted to listen to.

Maybe it is some wicked engagement strategy so people have to constantly pay attention and skip ads manually every few minutes instead of being able to just let YouTube run in the background on autoplay ...
I wrote mine in LaTeX. I remember that making terminal output fancy was a pain. Eventually I managed to even get scissors to indicate omitted output. I was proud of that. Example: https://bayimg.com/gAaLbAaHI

Then I had so many dependencies that I didn't want to update my computer anymore as it could break my build process and the Makefile which did everything from taking the .tex files, to image processing, to PDF generation and cover art integration. So I moved everything into a virtual machine. I still keep it around but I am too afraid to boot it nowadays. Would be pwnd in a second after years of no updates :)

Next time I write a book it'll be likely non-technical and then markdown should be fine.

My book was about IPv6 and since it is no longer up to date I stopped selling it. It's available at https://danrl.com/ipv6 (Book language is German, though)
You'll also probably have a better listening experience with Galaxy Buds on iOS than Android on some Android devices. Apple's AAC encoder, used with AAC headphones like the Galaxy Buds (well, that's the best codec iOS supports for those headphones), have consistently proven themselves to outperform the competition. Linux's PipeWire, which uses the Fraunhofer AAC encoder is pretty good as well, but Apple's AAC is the best, and you can hear it.

Some Android devices use the Fraunhofer AAC encoder, but some don't. If they don't, you can definitely hear the difference—it sounds like a compressed mess.
