I guess you have to hope that every outage that impacts you is big enough to make the news.
This is not a Crane, It's an Insane New Gravity Battery [video]
Shouldn't ITAR make this a non-issue?
I suppose all outages are just elevated latency. Has anyone ever had an outage and said "fuck it, we're going out of business" and never came back up? That's the only true outage ;)
This is awesome! Would you consider selling digital copies?
Your last sentence is on point.

I bitflipped OPs statement, with the idea that if the opposing rhetoric sounds equally appealing then there's a strong possibility that neither of them are nutritious. :)

Anders got 3mil signing bonus. Hard to counter that.

>A lot of the comments point out that most people on Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans don't make money and would be better off getting a "real job".

To support your point, acting, singing and writing are in a similar state, as are most media works. Creative media seems in particular its the area where the gulf between the successful and the well, not, is massive.
There could also be a significant hit to sales - nobody wants to be anywhere near a robbery, so those people shop online.
MSM is really the root of the problem. The other two are just idiots parroting what some network told them to.
Felt like a boxing match where Carlsen knocked Nepo down in the 6th game, and after that he just wasn't the same boxer/chess player. The next 3 decisive games had blunders by Nepo that would be bad for even the #1000 chess player.
I think making it to top on Twitch/TikTok/SocialMedia is hard, just like it is hard to be a famous Hollywood star. But there are a lot of minor social media celebrities that make a middle class income or they do it as their second job but no one talks about them just like how no one talks about minor actors.

I know this because recently I ran into a few Instagram influencers with a low 6-figure followers, who get paid $1000+ per ad post. The ones I know have day jobs, Instagram is mostly extra income for them. I also know a blogger who is doing it fulltime and making upper middle class income from it.

The point is power law seems absurd because it is easy to start these things but very few people actually treat it like a job or a business. To me it seems those who treat it like a business have pretty high chance of making, at least, living wages from it.
When did Joe Biden fuck Jill first? When she was their babysitter?

Would that make it statutory rape? Just asking, for a friend......
A packet storm outage? Now that brings back memories. Last time I saw that it was rendezvous misbehaving.
Emotions are a useful learning signal, that abstracts a range of sense experiences into a coherent or gestalt impression, so this is not surprising. But it's nice to see people care about insects, or at least provide a basis for doing so.

This synthesis, the emotional synthesis of experience, then aids decisions. And is a key component probably of the biological OODA learning loop.

Emotions may be necessary for AGI. Or at least help us get there.
Re: Your point (1), I read somewhere that the match took longer than watching the entire "Queen's Gambit" NetFlix series start to finish. (To put it in perspective for readers who may not realise how much time is spent at the board during these sorts of games).
Maybe it sounded reasonable in the original German.
Proven methods to reverse the Python string in 2022
Breathing in -40C air is a lot different than breathing in 0C air.
Looks to me like a couple things:

File / Disk management. The file manager program shown looks spiffy, and is definitively a nod toward today.

Write utilities and apps that have a modern workflow.

While not much, the included tool kit has the features needed to make applications and utilities people might recognize today.

The author has put quite a bit into it. Nice work.
I worked in a music store back then. The DX7 was KING for sure but we were a Roland Shop and the D-50 was pretty F'n awesome. I don't think it's apples-to-apples though. Wasn't the D-50 less of a synth and more of sampling board?
Dozens of workers trapped after collapse at Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville
I worked at an Amazon air-shipping warehouse for a couple years, and hearing this confirms my suspicions about the management there. Lower management (supervisors, people actually in the building) were very aware of problems, but the people who ran the building lived out of state, so they only actually went to the building on very rare occasions.

Equipment was constantly breaking down, in ways that ranged from inconvenient to potentially dangerous. Seemingly basic design decisions, like the shape of chutes, were screwed up in mind-boggling ways (they put a right-angle corner partway down each chute, which caused packages to get stuck in the chutes constantly). We were short on equipment almost every day; things like poles to help us un-jam packages were in short supply, even though we could move hundreds of thousands of packages a day. On top of all this, the facility opened with half its sorting equipment, and despite promises that we'd be able to add the rest of the equipment in the summer, during Amazon's slow season...it took them two years to even get started.

And all the while, they demanded ever-increasing package quotas. At first, 120,000 packages/day was enough to raise eyebrows--we broke records on a daily basis in our first holiday rush--but then, they started wanting 200,000, then 400,000. Eventually it came out that the building wouldn't even be breaking even until it hit something like 500,000.

As we scaled up, things got even worse. None of the improvements that workers suggested to management were used, to my knowledge, even simple things like adding an indicator light to freight elevators.

Meanwhile, it eventually became clear that there wasn't enough space to store cargo containers in the building. 737s and the like store packages mostly in these giant curved cargo containers, and we needed them to be locked in place while working around/in them...except that, surprise, the people planning the building hadn't planned any holding areas for containers that weren't in use! We ended up sticking them in the middle of the work area.

Which pissed off the upper management when they visited. Their decision? Stop doing it. Are we getting more storage space for the cans? No. Are we getting more workers on the airplane ramp so we can put these cans outside faster? No. But we're not allowed to store those cans in the middle of the work area anymore, even if there aren't any open stations with working locks. Oh, by the way, the locking mechanisms that hold the cans in place started to break down, and to my knowledge they never actually fixed any of the locks. (A guy from their safety team claims they've fixed like 80 or 90 of the stations since the building opened, but none of the broken locks I've seen were fixed in the 2 years I worked there.)
Debris from the Mayfield tornado has also lofted over 30k feet into the air
But it's a core facet of their business model. Their secret sauce, as it were.

That is to say: the intrinsic feature set is of course based on self-promotion; at the same time, nearly everyone on LinkedIn (by virtue of the fact that they have time to tend to their profile, beyond a perfunctory business card level) knows, on some level, that they aren't that special. Plus they know that their profile can be looked at any minute, by anyone, from friends to past colleagues to prospective future ones, to crushes and exes to your old friggen higs school crew, for heaven's sake.

So they're always looking over their shoulder, and on some level, fearing their own shadow. The only thing that (momentarily) lifts this veil of gloom (at feeling fundamentally unworthy and illegitimate) is of course more positive attention, or at least the feeling that their profile is slightly less boring than those of their peers.

So they're they go, sprucing their chronology, finding a better headshot or background image... while everyone else is doing the same. Which leads to more gloom, and more insecurity. All as a proxy, a stand-in for building meaningful professional relationships and improving one's actual skill set -- that is to say, one's intrinsic relationship and career capital (to use a catchphrase of this cottage industry).

Meanwhile, an entire generation has grown up believing axiomatically that a strong LinkedIn profile is absolutely essential to your job search, because how else are recruiters going to know anything about you? And you have to put up a headshot because otherwise you must have something to hide.

Thus the cycle of perpetual inadequacy goes on and on, like an Escher staircase.

This begs for further elaboration.
same thing, same thing

i myself never really practiced algorithms, so in an interview they’ll see me as a weak learner

however the reality is complete opposite - i have spent thousands of hours on piano and guitar and speak 3 languages

i have the opposite of learning disability and learn stuff quicker than many of your algorithm-knowing employees can

Yes and other cloud providers (Google, Microsoft) probably have similar. Besides special network equipment, they use PCIe accelerator/coprocessors on their hypervisors to offload all non-VM activity (Nitro instances)

They also recently announced Graviton ARM CPUs

There is actually a ton of interesting and useful innovation happening in the crypto space that isn’t necessarily crypto-specific. If hacker news wasn’t so die-hard anti-crypto then more people would see that.

To paraphrase Ogilvy, half the country is being manipulated by a political party using misinformation to gain power; the trouble is I don't know which half.
Ah no way. Looks like Nevada and Utah do too. Seems like that’s only 20 miles north
Just gonna say that it's super relative cause in march of 2020 it was only worth 60k maybe. Then it peaked at 1.5 million in may 2021. Of course I wasn't able to time the sell off perfectly.

It made one thing perfectly clear to me though. Building wealth is more about investing than saving.
I think there is a different problem that needs to be solved and it's probably impossible.

I've dreamed of the metaverse since Snow Crash and maybe before (Tron?) but ... when it comes to actually making it, lets assume unlimited CPU/GPU power and unlimited memory.

Ideally, I want the Metaverse to allow people to run their own code. Whether its VR or AR it's a shared 3D space. So I want my Nintendo "Nintendogs" to be able to run around my "Ikea furniture" with my "Google/Apple/OSM maps" showing me navigation directions and my "FB Messenger/Discord/iOS Messenger" letting me connect to people inside. In a webpage, each of these things runs in an IFRAME isolated from the other and browsers go to great lengths to disllow one spying on another.

But in this 3D space my Nitendogs can't run through the space unless they can "sense the space". They need to know where the fire hydrants are, where the side walk is, what things they're allowed to climb/chew etc. But to do that effectively means they need enough info to spy on me.

Same for all the other apps. I can use messaging apps on my phone with GPS off and full network access off so that the app can't know my location, but order for different apps in the Metaverse to do similar they'll need to know at least the virtual location of themselves and the stuff around them which is enough to track/fignerprint

You can maybe get around some of this with a massive walled garden but that arguably is not the metaverse.
Devil's advocate:

As paid overtime becomes more common, people start factoring it in production costs, and standard hour salaries are adjusted accordingly. When people negociate they get told "don't worry, with X hours of overtime you'll get a pretty good pay" and we're back to square one.

For a real world examole of that, Japanese companies have had these kind of deals for a few decades.
While the idea of "becoming a cyborg" is a little charming, I don't think injecting NFC is good for anything serious, for now.

Actually, it feels more like a security hole, because (1) people are using the same key for everything (same password for everything!) (2) Injected chips are difficult to replace once breached (3) so the injected chip becomes a single point of failure.

Still, it might be good for some minor things in your life, like unlocking bike locks and storage boxes (not think-walled safes), logging into IoT devices, etc.

Coding a new front-end interface for Hacker News
Trying to put my head around, why is this
log.debug("user-agent=" + userAgent); bad?
STS is the worst with this. Even for other internal teams, they seem to treat dropped requests (ie, timeouts which represent 5xxs on the client side) as 'non faults', and so don't treat those data points in their graphs and alarms. It's really obnoxious.

AWS in general is trying hard to do the right thing for customers, and obviously has a long ways to go. But man, a few specific orgs have some frustrating holdover policies.
I did the same thing and no one would probably believe it except I recorded it as a MIDI stream. The next day I played it to my boss and he wouldn't accept that I composed it. (edit - it was a complex classical piano piece)
Thanks for pointing this out! Game 6 started at 4:30pm local time and ended at 12:17am, making the game length 7 hours and 47 minutes total. It was the first time since adjournments were abolished in the 90s that a championship game started on one day and ended on another.
What about employees humble bragging about their "achievements" and fake made up stories about them doing something compassionate when they interviewed someone ?
"radical candor" sounds like something I would run and hide from. But I'm speaking from a place of complete ignorance.

Anyone have any real-world experience with this particular approach?
at least you acknowledge your past mistakes and learn from it

some people don’t
It sounded like the entire management plane was down and potentially part of the "data" plane too (management being config and data being get/put/poll to stateful resources)

I saw in the Reddit thread someone mentioned all services that auth to other services on the backend were effected (not sure how truthful it is but that certainly made sense)
>(1) people are using the same key for everything (same password for everything!) (2) Injected chips are difficult to replace once breached

It's not really the same as using the password for everything, because having access to the key doesn't allow you to compromise it later on. These security keys have an internal key that they use to sign challenges, but that key is never divulged. Short of some sort of critical exploit in the chip firmware, the key isn't going to get breached.

As far as I understood, the criticism is that OP as a chairman of Gitlab used 'we' to refer to the whole company as opposed to his own opinion. The criticism then refers to an appeal or sympathy grabbing with an economic motivation.

I couldn't care less to be honest, just clarifying what I understood.

Happy for Hashicorp, also love Gitlab.
MSM is very much complicit in this. See: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-convince-the-lowest-wh...

This alone should be shouted from every rooftop, but now is relegated to snopes fact checking, apparently.

Yeah it's a political statement, a blunt one, but it's a candid statement of how to keep poor people poor.
Ask HN: Advise for an amateur programmer who is also a high school math teacher
I’ve never worked as a dev for my life, but I spent quite some of my spare time to do programming. I’m also going to write a math textbook, but the task is repetitive and I don’t know how to automate it.

There is one thing that I tried to build for years, and failed a few times: a system that generate math problems and their corresponding solutions for different problem types. I know a bit of Python and sympy, I may need to twerk sympy a bit to get the results I want, but probably manageable. The ability to export to MSWord/Latex is a plus, but I’d say forgetting about it now because you need to write a lot of raw OOXML even if using python-docx and documentation is basically non-existent.

I start with writing small scripts a few times to try and make it happen. Every time after lots of hours spent, I know my code is a mess and I throw it away.

The ideal project would be to write code for about 20-50 math topics, each with 20-50 problem types. Writing a base class for each topic and inherit from it, may or may not work. There is a lot of repetition. Writing the case to create a problem and solution of quadratic equation of the form “ax^2+bx+c=0” is easy. 50 problem types later where you run out of class names that you could imagine where you are trying to do “(ax+b)(cx+d)=e(fx+g)” and at most two parameters can be a fraction and the equation must have rational solutions and the solution differs whether cx+d and fx+g have a common factor, I don’t know what could I do about it. Maybe there is some pattern in software architecture I don’t know?
Game 6 was thrilling for someone like me who plays only blitz. I could never calculate all those rook moves without blundering, so the game looks more wild to me than it probably was haha. It sure was hard fought! The games after that were a let-down, but that's because Carlssen is just so damn consistent.

Many times this is actually not true and because Canada is North of the US many people think this. Much of Canada even in the prairie provinces stays much warmer than Minnesota. Minnesota is about as far away from an ocean that you can get and when you get a polar vortex that comes straight down from the Hudson Bay it will usually cause temps in Minnesota to be colder than even across the border to the North in Canada. Looking at temps right now it is warmer North of the Hudson Bay than it is in Northern Minnesota.

The liability concern is almost always raised by people who don't do actuarial math.

For a given set of parameters (car/driver/environment) it gets to an accident every X miles causing Y$ in damage. This Y$ is paid out by pool of insurance money which a group of owners have already paid for.

Self Driving car is no different. In fact, the Car manufacturers will have more data to ascertain the 'blame' and fewer accidents every X miles and they can actually insure the drivers directly at a much lower rate. Car manufacturers will pay the much lower Y$ from this insurance pool

No, deadliness doesn't really matter. What matters is how many people in infected person can infect before symptoms become too severe. Covid has a rather long period where patients are infectious while showing no symptoms at all, so it's already very good at that game.

I believe that anyone that travels a lot on airliners will easily surpass this so nothing to be smug about for a lot of people.
I'm pretty sure everyone already knew it, even if it wasn't outright stated. Who trusts Facebook with the ability to decide what is correct and is not, after all? It's hard to be outraged and scandalized by something you've assumed to be occurring for a very long time.
How long ago did you try pipenv? I don't use it for large projects (just a few dozens dependencies), it is not fast but it works (I expect it to be just a convenience wrapper around corresponding functionality provided by pip/pip-tools (there were substantial changes in pip's dependency resolution).
I don't get the idea of having to get noticed to have career success.

Meetings don't determine outcomes. In my experience, meetings have been largely wasteful. It's the actual work that determines the outcome and if this "20 year old not-a-professional kid" can get the job done they must be recognised.

We must discourage this "loud mouths at meetings" culture.

Your last paragraph reminded me of a power outage a few years back. All of a sudden I was a member of a community, I spoke to my neighbors. No longer in our personal Twitter , Insta bubbles we had to talk.

Why's the power out ,does your cellphone work, etc.

That said, you can still meet people in person. I haven't used any apps in about 5 years or so. And the results have been great,every single person I've gone out with recently has been college educated with a great career.
Keep in mind Portland, ME is coastal and fairly warm for Maine. I’d have to think it’s significantly colder up in Caribou or Fort Kent.
