Car addiction is a real problem, though. Pollution (air and noise), lost use of streets by people walking, chatting, cycling, etc. - increased social isolation, increased cost of living, 40,000 dead people a year, far less freedom for people who can't drive (especially kids), land being reallocated to car infrastructure, legal changes preventing the construction of walkable communities in the name of more convenient motoring, etc.

Similarly, the internet has had a lot of externalities we may not have addressed.
Should I quote the parts in question? They seem obvious to me, as it’s every sentence.
I think one point missing in these discussions is access to markets and wealth creation. As a “thousandaire” I’m not too concerned about what percentage of whatever anyone else has, as long as I have the ability to provide for my family and better my situation. My personal experience is that I have had incredible access: came from lower middle class, taught myself to code, make decent income, invest with low fees. I definitely had help and “privileges” along the way. But in general that experience makes me look for solutions to these issues that parallel my experience: education, business incubation, and investment.
iOS 15.2 Adds 'Parts and Service History' Feature to iPhone
I am a coder.

Where exactly is the advantage in editing source code or interacting with deployment chains, systems etc. in an animated neon colored fantasy experienced through a headset compared to doing so on a plain-old laptop?

Because I have tried VR & AR solutions before in my line of work, and so far I have experienced them as slower, more cumbersome and harder to interface with existing systems. Every tried to type on a "virtual keyboard"? Ever tried navigating a 20000 LOC codebase using "haptic gestures"? My screenbound IDE and my keyboard let me do that in the blink of an eye.
You are not wrong, there where a lot of changes over the 3.x time frames and the info you can find online is often out of date. The community is small and most people are more interested in React, Vue or Angular. I still hope that something can be done since when it comes to SPAs I think Ember is a better solution than React, Vue or Angular.

Your post leaves it a little bit unclear what you actually did.

Are you saying that

1. Originally all requests for images went directly to the egregiously-priced image host

2. You changed that traffic to be routed through Cloudflare instead so it would be cached

3. That reduced requests to your image host enough to cut your bill by 99%

Dense energy source that doesn't usually have a strong flavor on its own, keeps well, and grows in a wide variety of climates? There are plenty of starchy plants - plantains, other tubers, taro - but potatoes will grow in non-tropical climates, which is a big benefit (and was an even bigger one before fast refrigerated transport). They're also easier to harvest by hand in usable quantities than, say, grains.
I've started building simple versions of google tools like Contacts on my own server. They load fast, are non-dynamic, and it's satisfying as hell :) It feels like a hedge against the way I see a lot of the megalith software going.

Good comment. Regarding this whole “zero transaction costs” issue, I can’t recommend weyl and posner’s “radical markets” enough.
I’m right wing/classical liberal / leanbertarian or whatever you want to call a pro-market stance, but that book opened my eyes about the conflict between market mechanisms and the absolutist way our capitalist economy understands property. Once you see that absolute property rights are not pre-requisite to market dynamics, you can’t unsee it anymore.
The relation between number of fat cells, how much fat the body attempts to store, and the resulting urge for consuming calories is somewhat complicated, right?

In other words: is fat storage purely a response to diet, or is existing excess fat tissue also a driver in eating excess calories?

Because if it were purely a response to caloric input, then one could also posit that exposure to sunlight might increase visceral fat storage: the fat not stored under the skin would stil have to go somewhere.
I feel like everything being centralized completely misses the point of the internet.
Apple reaches quiet truce over iPhone privacy changes
I agree. I have always wondered if I can feed GPT-3 a bunch of rule books and ask it to generate game rules.

I guess my surprise came from asking around about what framework to use and being told it was Express. I guess it might be 'Sails', but it's been a week or two so that is probably obsolete now.
You've thought this through, and I don't mean to detract from your point. Something else to consider - photo-aging is real, and is easy and quicker to observe than skin cancer. It's a cumulative effect, and by the time someone's in their 30s, their relationship with sun and sunscreen shows.
I'm going to ask a different question: so what if it doesn't handle it? Some of the hardware resources would be spent on dynamic shenanigans instead of the actual game content. In contrast a game running on the same hardware but implemented in C++ would be able to handle/offer more of the content of the game.

But then again 5 years ago hardware was worse; 10 years ago even worse; 20 etc etc. Games had less content but there were still good games, as good as modern ones. Game enjoyability doesn't depend that much on the scale of its content. If a dynamic language pulls the resources down to what they were 5-10 years ago you can still make enjoyable games.
To be fair, GP did use scare quotes to denote “tax cuts”. The specifics of the tax policy matter, to your point, but I do think it’s kind of common to frame this sort of trickle down attitude in terms of cutting specific taxes
> It looks like the innovation is to scale the identity matrix in the L-M step formula by the square root of the norm of the gradient.

If I have f(x), then I define

g(x) = 100*f(x)
h(x) = .01*f(x)

won't I get different rates of convergence with g(x) and h(x)?

Normally, the scale factor of a function cancels out when multiplying the inverse Hessian times the gradient, but the square root changes that here. This seems undesirable.

Maybe it can be hand-waved away with their constant H, which looks like a tuning parameter.
The problem is servers can be provisioned a number of ways:

* manually (like this guide)

* via CI/CD using tools like Packer

* Cloned (eg CloneZilla, or cloud snapshot)

* via configuration management (eg Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc)

* via other initialisation methods such as CloudInit

Aside from the manual option, there’s no wrong way to any of these. And some of these approaches compliment some of these other approaches too. Many of these approaches will have a multitude of different solutions available that differ significantly in set up.

A lot of the time it boils down to preferences as much as it does best practices.

As for why servers aren’t locked down more from the outset. Some distros are. And there’s images of popular distros that have been pre-hardened for you too. Ubuntu isn’t the best for secure defaults but it’s target audience is more diverse than RHEL (Redhat Enterprise Linux). And as I’m sure you’re aware, security is often a trade off between convenience. So Ubuntu takes the approach of being slightly more convenient for the average user at the cost of being less secure by default.
Isn't the point comparing traditional heuristic techniques against DNN-learned techniques? I understand the latest Stockfish is etching quite close to AlphaZero techniques, but maybe I am wrong.
I think it is the cities really. It should be easier to connect to people there, right? The opposite seems to be true in my experience. Sure, you cannot select the people in your nearer community, but they seem to be far more engaging. My experience at least as someone that mostly lived in the city. Maybe it has something to do with having more of a stake yourself.
Look into Katago. It's an open source AI in the same general style as AlphaGo, with an empasis on training speed. On 9x9 you can get up to superhuman really quickly on just a decent home machine (I think hours/days, can't remember exactly and it's probably improved since I looked).

Aligning all the short reads a (Sequencing By Synthesis) Next Generation Sequencer (to be very specific) produces (hundreds to thousands of millions) to a reference genome is hard computational work indeed, no idea if you can use it for proof-of-work but I like where this is going... But do you not need some kind of definition of correct (like hash needs many leading 0's) for PoW? How would that work for aligning reads to a reference genome? Maybe it could, find the position of the read is hard (I mean, not really for a modern CPU but relatively... I think... not an expert on that), verifying how correct it is, is not hard (I think). Maybe we should ask the BWA devs [0].

I am self employed so I get paid everything then have to pay my own tax. Aside from the sticker shock this has some effects.

Toward the end of the year when my marginal rate cracks 50% I get a lot more generous. I tend to but more kit, and hire people for gigs. I may even hire an EA next year and pre-pay her at the end of this year. If faced with either saving an extra 20k or hiring an EA and paying her 50k, I am more inclined to the latter.

>For example, when my car is at the garage I feel like I'm going through a kind of drug withdrawal. It really bothers that I can't just jump in my car and go somewhere and instead I now need to catch a bus or walk. Before having a car this would have been normal to me, but am I now addicted to my car or is it more that having a car is really convenient and now I'm experience the inconvenience of not having access to one?

"Addiction" is probably not the right way of framing it, since it applies more to the place you live rather than some aspect of your character. The place you live may be car-dependent, if walking/cycling/public transport are not adequate substitutes even temporarily.
In practice sunscreen use seems to have minimal impact on vitamin D production. There has been several studies looking into it and in a lab you can measure the difference, but at the population level it doesn’t seem important.

He is a current core team member, not former [0].

I'm not too worried about his claims. His claim was about the Foundation being shadow-controlled by Amazon (they employed the board chair who had more influence while they lacked an Executive Director). The foundation manages the assets (donations, legal marks, etc) and has no control of the actual language. For Amazon to take control, theyd have to get the board involved and then leverage the assets against the developers. Nothing like this has happened and there is now an Executive Director.

When observing that incident, I noticed that those joining the bandwagon didn't seem to have direct knowledge of the situation. Those that did, stayed quiet or made general statements about the claims not being accurate regarding why there wasn't an Executive Director yet (interim or not). To me, this suggests something happened that, professionally, people feel should be kept confidential and I try to support that by not doing further speculation.

De facto Linux for who? I've sold on prem apps to enterprises and startups for a while and the majority weren't Ubuntu. It was a mix of Amazon Linux, CentOS, RHEL and Ubuntu or Debian.

In containers I most often see Ubuntu-minimal or Alpine.

And while Ubuntu is represented in both those groups its not clearly de facto anything.

The only place I'd personally argue you really need to run Ubuntu (unless you really want to spend time hacking desktop configuration) is on a laptop.

But even then there are a large group of people who do run things other than Ubuntu like PopOS or Mint or Fedora or whatever other new distro there is.
> There's a business to be built in this space, I'm sure of it. I wish I had the expertise to take advantage of that

;) that's what an MVP is used for - prove key business assumptions.

as I see it, space is hardly the issue, nor build/engineering - as a species we are pretty apt at abstracting around them.

I've not had need to use VNC, remote desktop etc for years.
> My point is whatever launcher mechanism you have for your hypothetical drones has the exact same issue.

Not exactly, even it shares some.

First of all they are much less expensive, and you have much more of them, making them harder to destroy. They are actually likely to be cheapy than the cost of the missile used to shoot them, which is never the case with cruise missile platform).

Then you don't need an open field to launch a drone, sending cruse missiles from dense urban area is more of a problem.

And in any case I think you moving goalpost a bit here, since when talking about counter battery, I initially responded to your suggestion to put the MLRS lined up, in plain sight on a highway… Now if you told me you're going to put your MLRS in isolated barns in the countryside, then it's of course the same situation whether it's launching drones or missiles, the number being the only significant difference.
It can help cut down on log sizes.
What I'd like to see is a modern guide for setting up and operating a cluster of hosts that does not rely on any specific provider settings. Say you want to run a cluster of Ubuntu servers, maybe exclusively with a workload scheduler like k8s, maybe with a mixture of nodes, how do you set it up securely and consistently, how to you apply updates, provision users, deploy applications, and how do you centrally log and alert on events (systemd logs, docker logs, auditd). Bonus points if you there are pointers about how compliant that setup is wrt to modern compliance requirements.

I know it's a lot to ask, but maybe there is such a guide available that does not just fall back to talking about provider-specific features (e.g. IAM).

Partially. Don‘t have one: customers complain. Have one, but with lies: customers complain. Have one that shows the truth: legal department complains.
MongoDB's page says this "includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the functionality of the Program ... remotely through a computer network". That would include all (web) apps with a mongodb connection. It then adds "offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program". That's the vague bit for me.
> Thus was the narrative of 'meritocracy' born in a world where there is obviously no possibility of such a thing.

How is it "obviously"? All the business relations between people are inherently meritocratic. Not only relations, the whole principle of "you reap what you sow" is inherently meritocratic: you have to put in some merit to generate value in return.

Ethereum allows you to transfer digital tokens from one address to another. This is what it does. Calling this "transferring value between computer programs" is both inaccurate and pompous. It's like a truck driver insisting that you call them a "transporter of value". Nobody speaks like that. Your comments consist entirely of marketing buzzwords, which is unfortunate because this is a technology site and we're trying to have an honest discussion about technology.

Well, it's not just about polish. In the case of Matrix, a simple look at their "feature matrix" shows that the only client that seems to be making any appreciable effort at all to keep up with the feature sets that are touted as selling points of the protocol (encryption, modern UI, "Discord-like" experience) is the bloated Electron monstrosity, and independently I have heard from multiple sources that the Matrix server software is so heavy that it struggles to support even a three-digit number of clients on commodity hardware.

This tendency to render your project unusable by choosing inappropriate development tools (perhaps for their seeming friendliness towards inexperienced developer - maybe if the same developers were forced to write in C their code would simply crash all the time, whereas as it is it "merely" runs slowly and/or leaks memory) is manifestly not an intrinsic feature of open source. If anything, in the old days, open source projects (such as Linux itself) stood out for being more lightweight and performant than their commercial counterparts. In fact, I think the first time I remember encountering an open source project that was rendered unusable by its bloat was with Diaspora (an early attempt to make a federated Facebook/Google+ replacement, written using Ruby on Rails). Perhaps there is something to the fashionable "fix social media" sector that necessitates making development inclusive to those who are more activists than engineers, even if this comes at the cost of sound engineering decisions.
The portability is needed to let many runtimes grow without pains of fragmentation. Currently tokio dominates, and you either use tokio, or you lose access to a large portion of the ecosystem.

This doesn't have to be a blessed runtime in std, but could be just a set of common interfaces (basics like AsyncRead, sleep, and spawn), so that async crates don't have to directly depend on a specific runtime.

Thank you for the effort you put into providing your feedback.
One observation I have on this topic and how the corp. media (vox, et al) handles the topic:
The proposed solutions are always along the lines of increased income taxes, which impact people who are getting wealthy (high earning doctors, execs, entrepreneurs, etc). I rarely see discussion from corp. media on wealth taxes, which would impact the already wealthy. It is not widely known that billionaires don't have large "incomes" and therefor don't pay large relative amounts of income tax.

The interesting outcome of this policy approach, is it's actually protecting the ultra rich from more competition (more wealthy people competing for influence & assets). Which means billionaires can maintain more socio-political control with their wealth with very high marginal income tax rates. Billionaires (who want to maintain power) do not want a lot more millionaires.

The next time a progressive advocates for high marginal income tax rates, ask them why they want to protect the 1% from competition. :-)

Edit: My personal preference is a 0.05% tax on any transfer between a LLC and it's owners (dividend, buyback, payroll to stockholders, or equivalent). I would also insist that this new tax be only allowed to flow to a direct citizen payment fund e.g. universal income (as I don't believe the captured bureaucracy will use it effectively or not just end up redirecting it back to billionaires).
And for my liberty minded friends, think of it as a payment for limited liability protection for the owners (something that doesn't exist in a true free market. a government intervention that helps crony capitalism in some manner). If owners of a company want to avoid the tax, they can incorporate where their wealth is at risk for the damages their org does.
No man. The Javascript programmers in HN saw a paper in economics they agree with, although they could barely comprehend it if they actually tried to read it. They know better. you're wrong.
> Would I be willing to put in the long hours and sacrifices usually required to work up to a $1m+ salary if it’s taxed at a 90% rate?

I'm paid more than ten times what the local movers are paid. I'm very confident that they work harder, with fewer breaks, and less control over their hours than I do. My wife is a professor. In the evening she is consistently grading papers while I am messing around on the internet. Her salary is like 15% of my income.

I have not observed a correlation between harder work and higher pay.
Reality is difficult to discern and we are not extinct. Cognitive bias has a long history of existing. For example, attributing personal flaws to harmless mistakes and attributing the flaws of others to malice or incompetence. This is clearly a distortion of reality, because we cannot assume we know the intention or capacity of all other people who aren’t perfect.

(A huge number of other evidences that sober people don’t have a full grasp of reality also exist: people misremember things all the time. People mishear things all the time. Check out that internet debate about the black-and-blue or gold-and-white dress!)
