I've just checked a largish repo, and the node_modules folder is just under 500mb - I could check that in, and be done with it. Updates aren't constant, so it would be every now and then.

That's really not a lot for knowing the code that is being used in your codebase hasn't changed, and the bonus of having everything available should the registry go down, or something.

So I don't think it's 'horrible advice' - it's do what suits your needs best. Some people want to have everything they need to build their application in their control, on the off chance everything hits the fan.

(Also, this: "Don't break the industry practice and check-in your node_modules" - does not necessarily mean it is the best way, it just happens to be the advice from the start.
We have the settings enabled to see them. Take a look at their post history, the majority have been silenced as soon as they're posted, and unless someone responds directly by vouching, nothing gets seen by those without explicitly opting in to see it.
It doesn’t matter. An nginx web server logging an odd user agent, elasticsearch picks it up. And then, due to some error triggered by the attacker, the content of the webserver log line gets logged on the ES side (for example if it violates a constraint). Frontend bypassed, attack owns ES. I’ve spent my weekend celebrating that I don’t have Java software in a stack that I’m responsible for right now - and feeling sorry for my ex-colleagues that do.

Edit: I haven’t tested or checked whether ES is vulnerable or not - but given the severity of this issue I’d default to the pessimistic stance of assuming it is, until proven otherwise.
Yes, the data is received over the internet.
Waste is a side issue. It just doesn't matter, so there is no point in even talking about it, never mind minimizing it.

The real issue is that, at least in the US, nukes cost overwhelmingly more than any other energy source, take 10+ years to build with no power output in the meantime, frequently consume billions of dollars without ever being completed, and (if ever put into production) develop leaks. They just don't make sense when considering the current alternatives.

Solar and wind installations start producing power almost immediately, and can be continuously added onto while operating, with only the most minimal of site preparation.

> Rather, written Cantonese (or Shanghainese etc.) often use characters for phonetic purposes rather than true etymological meaning

This is where the mistake is. Written Chinese does have all those characters - it is the adoption of a "standard Chinese" that caused those characters not to be taught when mass education was introduced. The people were left to transliterate or create new characters for their spoken native tongue, and the correct characters are now known only to researchers.

One very annoying part of Mandarin's effect on modern Chinese is that many words are being replaced by transliterations of/in Mandarin, even when the Chinese word itself exists. Often this is because the source of the word was foreign. To a non-Mandarin speaker, written Chinese is very slowly turning into complete nonsense, and written Chinese is losing its edge in longevity by no longer being a ideograph-based language.

I don't think these are organic downvotes taking down the majority of this person's comments, I think it is because they end most comments with a reference to openvaers.com and it tripped some type of spam filter.
That's pretty elitist. Do you want to check for a college degree at the door?

Hell, you can just look around HN to see that a formal education/"culture consumption" doesn't stop people from falling into messy baseless conspiracy theories. And a lot of people confuse "disagreeing with me/having different foundational truths" with "being wrong" no matter how much Foucault they've read.

I think a lot of what people take as indicators of lack of judgement or skills to handle information are more often just indicators of those who have little or no trust in the institutions or its messengers.

Sparta was violent totalitarian regime. To use modern example, German nazi had not done circumcision either, but did sterilized or killed the disabled.

> rom what i recall spartans were also composed from largely slaves,gladiators,foreign people, and usually those people are not keen towards tyranny

Slaves are living in tyranny by definition. There is no slavery if there is no tyrant. The majority of Sparta were slaves, the minority was keeping them slaves via violence. The decisions were made by slaveholders.

Sparta was not a place where escaped slaves would seek refuge nor a place where they would made decisions.

> You can't make a CPU faster by making it bigger.

Modern CPUs identify and take advantage of potential parallelism in apparently sequential code. When you compare Apple’s large cores with the small ones on the same SoC the extra transistors are used to do this.

So you can make a CPU faster by making it bigger.
That would be great for camping or other off-grid use. I had no idea this was a product that existed.

I am not sure I follow your argument here. Who is it that is creating a secondary unwritten set of rules?

Yes, lakh,crores are a common part of language. For a billion, I believe it is "arab" and for a hundred billion, it is "kharab".

1 crore = 10 million

100 crore = 1 billion = 1 arab

100 arab = 0.1 trilion == 1 kharab
It doesn't matter if the primary cause of a traffic accident is speed. The relevant question is:

"Would this person have died if the cars were driving slower?"

And simple physics tells us that almost always the answer is "No".

If you try to argue that driving faster is safer, you need to provide strong evidence. Statistical correlation over a time frame where cars and roads have been made much safer doesn't really convince me. Even a correlation between driver speed and collision risk is meaningless -- eg. people with poor vision generally drive slower, but are still more dangerous than drivers with good vision.

(I'm not saying that driving fast is unsafe in general. On a well maintained road with good visibility you can drive pretty fast with minimal risk. All I'm saying is that, all other things being equal, driving slower is almost always going to be safer)
Is copyright law dating uniform at this point? I wouldn't be surprised if it is...

one thing I remember reading On The Internet a while back was a theory (from a lawyer I believe?) that stated that you can't just say you put something in the public domain, and have it then be in the public domain.

Like, you can choose to explicitly grant rights of usage, but simply writing "I am putting this work in the public domain" doesn't actually do anything, and is functionally very close to being the same as "all rights reserved".

I don't know if it's true though. I suppose we're fortunate that "nobody around to care" helps in practice for these kinds of conservation efforts that are victimless crimes at best.

I use a Das keyboard, full with Cherry MX Brown switches, that I bought most of a decade ago, early on in college. I've tried a variety of mechanical keyboards, from friends and at a student-run computer lab, so I know the sensations available, in terms of actuation force and tactile and linear variants.

I bottom out hard, and feel knuckle-, eventually wrist-pain, when typing intently for more than half an hour on Apple external keyboards. In the long run, it keeps typing more comfortable, so it's a kind of survival advantage.

To reduce noise, it's my current practice to put a thin hand towel under the keyboard, both at home and at co-working spaces. It eliminates some of the deeper more noticeable noises. This helps lessen annoyance, or at least comments, from friends, roommates, and partners, and so is again, a survival (of on-going use of my current setup) advantage.

Why not just have an intermediate company that handles the donation/support aspects? I mean, we already have Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/ and for other content creators the likes of Patreon also work out nicely.

Two examples, off the top of my head:

1) Here's how Open Collective looks, for jMonkeyEngine (a lovely Java game engine that's also a bit underfunded and underutilized): https://opencollective.com/jmonkeyengine

2) Also, here's the Patreon of Godot (a more hyped and better funded engine): https://www.patreon.com/godotengine

Why would large enterprises not just use a tool like that, if they already use the likes of AWS or other IaaS/PaaS/SaaS offerings?

But i definitely agree that a lot of open source is underfunded and as a consequence many can't work on it full time or even every day, because things are dire financially otherwise: https://staltz.com/software-below-the-poverty-line.html

Not everyone has cushy jobs that make them $100k a year, i make closer to $21k in Europe now, about which i wrote on my blog: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/on-finances-and-savings

It feels to me that perhaps the solution here is to have something like a bot on GitHub/GitLab, that adds a comment to issues: "If you'd like to express to the maintainers how important this issue is and draw more attention to it, then submit a payment here: ... Payments so far: ... (possibly with messages by supporters)"

Most people don't care about Open Collective or GitHub Sponsors or whatever, they just want to make feature requests or bug reports. If their attention is captured and the ability to make their own request/report more visible is offered to them as a part of that process, maybe things would be a bit better? I've definitely heard the sentiment expressed that micropayments have the potential to improve how we interact with others on the web in some ways, i'm just not sure how viable that is.

There were economists articles literally claiming this is good and pushing for reforms to that effect. Neoliberslism is literally theory that claims the companies should seek profit and only profit and then everything else will be good.

So we have a semi-large organization where our product people are very savvy, but not to a point where they are going to jump with joy having to download a huge tool chain with docker just to grab a SQLite database and fiddle with some analytical data. However, they absolute will learn commands and SQL or some python if they just login to a portal and start chomping away.. kind of like the whole SAP / data warehousing industry. Just don’t make people download a bunch of crap (figuratively speaking). Also, this particular data isn’t sensitive, it’s technically derived from public sources so it’s safe to “democratize” in that sense. I’m not sure how the approach would change with user data.

So how can I as an engineer do the most good for the widest possible audience? Well, I was in a meeting and I was taking about using SQLite and my peer was like “I dunno it sounds a little complicated” and I took that to heart and responded with, well ya know from where I sit it seems like all the big players are just using flat files in cloud storage as data lakes.. didn’t sleep well that night and then just perusing other options I came across Apache Drill and then it’s spiritual successor, Arrow and it hit me.. well if Athena / BigQuery understands parquet files and Apache arrow writes parquet files without any sort of infra like spark.. what if our data pipeline didn’t save it in SQLite but Apache Parquet and by doing so (with still plenty of complexity ironically), we all of a sudden have a dataset that can technically be read by API developers and the cloud data lake products. All one really needs at that point is access to a cloud bucket..

It’s still been a lot of work, and I haven’t realized all my promises as we’re still trying to ship the product, but I think in the long run, cloud storage + Apache arrow will be the de facto approach to time series data. And in some ways, it also can give event stores in the context of eventsourcing a facelift too.. but that’s not as developed of a thought for now.

43 people

14 of them have travelled internationally... the rest are probably family members.

Since vaccinations are pretty much a "must" for international travel, this sample isn't really representative, and in general '43' is not a lot of people to draw any conclusions from.

Would be interesting to do this research on a representative sample, but it's probably hard to do, since many countries have mandatory testings for unvaccinated and (almost) never test the vaccinated (unless they get symptoms and get tested themselves) - eg. here in slovenia.

Author here. The goal of this challenges (and related articles) is to demonstrate how TensorFlow can be used as any other programming language. I am totally against of the usage of machine learning where's not required at all, and I hope to be able to solve all the puzzles without having to rely upon deep learning based solutions (but who knows, if there's something that can be easily expressed as an optimization problem having a language that's differentiable can help a lot).
Good. It is high time perpetrators of such disgusting crimes like this are caught and punished.
You have to remake every commit of the repository which basically means you have a new repository, and new commits. In order to do the latter thing you said, you cannot have done the former thing you said.
I think there's a different problem.

I think a lot of success in hierarchies is based around the willingness and ability to turn a screw.

What domain expertise buys you is a higher intuition on whether or not you should.

Sure, you can have a lot of technical managers who suck. You can also have a good experience with a non-technical manager.

But day by day, pound for pound, my money is on domain expertise leading to better results. This happily explains why a manager is typically a senior role.

Course, there's a lot of ways to screw that up.

Yeah you can basically arbitrarily expand or restrict the circle of people. If I don't use the internet otherwise but I go to a machine to buy myself a train ticket. The machine is internally connected with the train company's servers which might be in the cloud, so the signal goes via "the internet" for a short time. Does that count as use of the internet or is the internet just an implementation detail?

No you could say, because you don't use it at home and you use an appliance. But then is your grandma using the internet, because she uses a bunch of appliances, too? And someone who uses the internet through an internet cafe, something very common in some asian countries, wouldn't be "using" it either as they are not at home.

> Instead of becoming an instrument to strengthen freedom, it actually weakens it and promotes domination and inequality.

I don't agree with this, other communication mechanisms can be more easily controlled for propaganda purposes and can completely exclude contrary information.

The idea that "access to information is bad because some information is wrong" is very popular but there's not much to it other than elitism and a desire for control over others.
