By any chance did you have an initial picture without your face?

Over recent years Facebook has been clamping down with those same sort of messages (sometimes it will appear after a few days or weeks for people I know) and for better or worse the main fix was having a picture with a face on a brand new account.

Older accounts don't have this problem though.

It's a similar tactic to how in recent years twitter lets you sign up without a mobile number but after some time you will suspiciously get your account locked until you "verify" with a mobile number.
For copyright reasons, most probably. We know how litigious the bosses* at Scientology are.

I've never been at a company where deadlines are what keeps people getting a paycheck. Overall output is what kept the paychecks flowing. Deadlines are an artificial construct in most cases and in most of the remaining they're just a way to synchronize work. If a feature comes out today or in a week or a month has little difference in the vast majority of cases. If you get 1 or 5 or 10 features out this month has a difference.
I can think of a bunch of scenarios where that concern doesn't apply, and so can you.
In C# I believe you can optionally mark generic classes/methods as covariant or contravariant. Is that not enough or does it not get exposed in the CLR or something?

And here's the impact of how we've treated children during the pandemic:

>The pandemic then brought on physical isolation, ongoing uncertainty, fear and grief. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers quantified that toll in several reports. They found between March and October 2020, emergency department visits for mental health emergencies rose by 24% for children ages 5-11 years and 31% for children ages 12-17 years. In addition, emergency department visits for suspected suicide attempts increased nearly 51% among girls ages 12-17 years in early 2021 compared to the same period in 2019.[0]

>A total of 83 articles (80 studies) met inclusion criteria. Of these, 63 studies reported on the impact of social isolation and loneliness on the mental health of previously healthy children and adolescents (n = 51,576; mean age 15.3 years). In all, 61 studies were observational, 18 were longitudinal, and 43 were cross-sectional studies assessing self-reported loneliness in healthy children and adolescents.[1]

>Children and adolescents are probably more likely to experience high rates of depression and most likely anxiety during and after enforced isolation ends. This may increase as enforced isolation continues. Clinical services should offer preventive support and early intervention where possible and be prepared for an increase in mental health problems.[1]

Experts think this is just the tip of the iceberg for issues that will affect us for decades.

These are good real world examples, and the other comments here in confirmation of the performance and energy benefits are pushing me towards Asahi Linux when it is good enough/close enough to be roadworthy. At that moment, Apple can have my money for an M1 Pro.
I didn’t imply they did it on purpose. The they here is in the spirit of Murphy’s Law. Seriously: launching on Christmas seems like a bad and unnecessary source of entropy.
Children have nearly no risk of complications with covid vs. quite a large risk with the vaccine.
Not obvious as far as I can see. Just moving cryptocurrencies around isn’t necessarily useful.
Beyond squabbling on numbers (COVID was actively fought in most developed countries, otherwise it would have killed many more), the difference is control.

Heart disease is well-understood, and largely avoidable with education; hence, it's not a problem as far as the ruling classes are concerned.

COVID and other infectious diseases, on the other hand, can hit literally anybody with a social life. They are fundamentally uncontrollable at the individual level, and have the potential to upset the social order if the numbers get out of control (as they did, shortly, last year). Until that continues to be the case, COVID will continue to be addressed as a significant problem.

Two awesome Aussies talk about all kinds of insane stuff. Coast to Coast Art Bell style.
I'd like to apologize if this sounded judgmental. English is not my main language, and perhaps my phrasing sounded like I assumed my domain specific opinion is better than the actual people working on the the project.

Reading the other comments, and maybe to contextualize to my question better, I'm more surprised by how the project is presented as marvelous to the public, rather than thinking that any technical part were overlooked.

While I'm sure that engineering teams at NASA and ESA have countless contingency plans, procedures and failure models. Medias around the project seem to focus on how fragile the deployment procedure is. Great engineering is an act of finding the best balance between opposing constrains, by building technically sound systems but also more importantly designing robust human or automated procedures.

In this story, in my opinion, the media presents a skewed explanation of why the project is incredible by highlighting that it would be incredible that such a brittle deployment procedure would even work.
It cannot be innate to any language because I may wish to link libraries written in other languages.

You cannot use Cargo or Rust to describe how a C or C++ library was compiled and linked.
my personal preference is irrelevant. my comment was regarding whether it is tractable to plan around Christmas, or unreasonable because there are too many holidays of comparable significance.
These threads always remind me of Umberto Eco's essay Sports Chatter. He describes the degress of participation in sport:

1. Playing the game yourself.

2. Watching other people play.

3. Talking about people playing the game.

4. Listening to someone else talk about people playing the game (i.e. sports commentators).

5. Talking about what sports commentators have to say.

In sports and in threads like this we're mostly at 3, 4, or 5. Even people who work at AWS posting here may only be "watching," i.e. working with second-hand information. While it's entertaining to nerds to speculate about root causes and possible solutions, and the dire predicted fallout from problems (especially when they happen to companies they dislike), it's just chatter and doesn't actually address any real issue, or inform any decisions that mean anything.

> I think you misunderstood my comment. I specifically said that measuring hours active at a keyboard or activity in Slack is the worst way to try to do performance management.

You say that, but then you advocate for butts-in-chairs (BIC) as a critical performance management practice that can't be replicated in the remote model and therefore shows the weakness of the remote model.

If BIC is so critical to performance management, spyware will do a way better job.

Erdogan pulled a huge pump and dump scheme a few days ago. He kept repeating everything that makes the Turkish Lira weaker and weaker, he and his government claimed that the plan is to lower the lira and compete on price and the lira is not weak because they failed but because that's the plan. We will be the next China, they said.

Then on the night of Dec 20, he introduces a financial instrument where the government offers %14 interest and guarantees to pay the any difference if it happens that the lira devalues. With a coordinated effort, government banks start selling $USD the whole day and whole night when the markets are shallow and Turks are asleep, selling off at least 7B$ of the reserves of the central bank and who knows how much of other banks, lowering the $USD from 18 the night Turks went to bed to 11 at the morning.

Look at that graph: https://twitter.com/tashecon/status/1473065067914702852

Then they continued to sell off the national $USD reserves, conducting a full blown media propaganda operation including advertisement that is obviously produced at least days before the event. Looking back, just the day before the stock market crashed with %10 and there are rumours of certain businessman being informed that the government will change it's stance and intervene strongly.

Then we had the Economy minister bragging how they screwed up the little guy who bought $USD at over 14 in an attempt to protect their savings, adding that no institutional investors were harmed in the process.

It's just a crypto-bros level of shake off organised and executed by the government. They claim that the orthodox economists are to be blamed for the losses, how silly they are for not accounting for the government tricking the people. Imagine FED giving guidance for interest rates decrease then out of the blue dramatically increasing the rates at midnight once the pals of the president position themselves correctly and saying that the public shouldn't have listed to the economists.

At this very moment, Erdogan is having an "interview" that is broadcasted by multiple TV channels and as expected they again started selling off $USD as he began speaking, pushing the dollar from about 12 to 10.

To be fair to the Wachowskis, their original premise was that humans were being used as a neural network to run the Machines' AI, but the studio forced them to change it to using humans as batteries because they didn't think audiences would be able to understand it otherwise.

You're right, the physics of using humans as batteries doesn't work out. That's been pointed out and debunked hundreds of times at this point. In terms of the themes of the movie, however, it also doesn't really matter. The reason other people find things worth discussing in the Matrix is that they can see beyond that singular incidental plot point, whereas you seem to be fixated on it to the point of unreasonable anger.
It's not really clear whether that is because it is less severe or if it is because there are lots more breakthrough infections.

(but a larger number of mild breakthrough infections is not itself terrible news either as the mildness indicates a population becoming more resilient against the virus)
This has been going on for some time but we already heard plenty of issues from salary, working hours and benefits etc. But I do hope it works out in the end.
Rule 10. If you can - comment in commit messages instead of statically in code.

When you do git blame you get commit message for each line of code. You can see what ticket changed it (there will be reasons why it changed hopefully), what it was before, what other things changed with it. This is incredibly useful, much more useful than static comments in code. But you have to help yourself by writing good commit messages and making small commits that don't mix many changes into one. If you fix whitespace or some stylistic stuff - don't commit it in the same commit as your business logic changes.

The best things about comments in commit messages is that they are automatically changed when you change a line of code in the next commit. They are never outdated and are never lying to you (regular static comments often do). Git blame should answer "why is each line of code here right now". Static comments answer "what somebody at some point thought was important in this general region of the code".

Often companies want you to adhere to their commit message standards that make it harder to write good commit messages. For example with git they will say "[task number] one line 80 char description"

You can still write a good description and have git show it correctly in one-line format if you do:

[task number] One line 80 char desc.

The rest of a good descriptive commit message.
As many lines as you like....
What's wrong with commenting on the end of a long block? It helps knowing where you are. I find them quite useful.
Of course, but I am positive plenty of "look at me" types will drive around with it[0]. And I'm sure you know that, too.

Yep. A lot of people seem to - willingly or unwillingly - ignore the dark side of Ataturk’s revolution. The fact of the matter is that nothing in the real world is ever as rosy as you would like it to be.

Exactly - you highlight the problem. Launching on Christmas introduces unique situational entropy. They should do it later.

Is communism a dirty word?

Is socialism a dirty word?

Ultimately a thriving society can claim to be any one of these. On the other hand, all of these principles have major flaws and none are good when applied absolutely.
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I do hope you are right.
Verbs become a bit tricky when they are heavily inflected, with the most common having the most irregularities. Collisions become a problem too, it's almost as if a heavily inflected language, with a fairly consistent root vocabulary, quickly runs out of distinct syllable combinations. E.g. Portuguese, and presumably the other romance languages. Compare the past perfect of 'to go' and 'to be' in Portuguese - they are identical for all persons.

Getting the wrong inflection ruins any sense you're trying to make!
Ditto. I always edit themes to make comments brighter than code. Fairly easy in sublime text, more-so now there’s a built-in “edit theme” function.

I just did a ctrl-f here for "IP space reputation"

not mentioned yet?

One of the very important things is choosing what ISP to host your self-hosted email at. And the spam blacklist (or opaque/impossible-to-know) likely blacklist status of your IP at things like office365, gmail, etc.

Assuming for a moment that you are a person who is perfectly capable of setting up your own postfix and dovecot server.

No matter how perfect your rDNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC setup is, and how flawless your theoretical postfix or other smtp daemon configuration is... If it's not hosted in the right place, outbound mail deliverability is the main problem you'll run into.

For the persons who are not ready to host their own SMTP and mail storage, I'm going to second the other suggestions made in this same thread that say a good first step is to control the authoritative DNS for your own domain, so that you can choose where to point the MX records at, and make an educated/informed choice of third party mail service provider.
That's a big lesson to learn about backups.
I’ve never understood the fascination with communist-era and brutalist architecture among Western Europeans and Americans of a particular political persuasion. There’s so much more to Middle and Eastern European architecture than that. But I guess it’s not cool to go around photographing the beautiful 18th and 19 century architecture all the capital cities in that region have.
that's good to know.

My late father told me the story of how he was coming home from school in Detroit during prohibition. Agents had just busted a warehouse full of kegs of beer.

The funny thing is, they're just as often wrong with their sports predictions. No serious sports wagerer I know would ever rely on 538 to make their picks. Gamblers understand that touts serve two masters. Apparently, punters are less gullible than political pundits when it comes to believing that a set of chosen stats represents a neutral, scientific prediction.

So what you're saying is, this could easily be funded by some billionaire, e.g. Jeff Bezos who already sells billions of dollars in Amazon stock per year to fund Blue Origin?

Not saying this should be done privately, but if funding is the problem, that problem can be solved.

I hope it's just badly thought through marketing. There is currently a AWS spot during nfl games, that shows a spectacular catch and then proclaims that the catch probability is only 3.6% or something. You are meant to be somehow impressed by the unlikelihood I believe, but that their model thought the catch is unlikely and the guy caught it implies a rejection of their model with p=3.6% < 5%.

The JWST marketing seems to work under a similar premise, they proudly proclaim that they couldn't mitigate hundreds of single points of failure, and you're supposed the be impressed by how difficult their task is. Hopefully the engineering did a reasonable job and the marketing is just playing up the wrong thing.
> Once, I've heard this pro-NFT argument: It's like if you would own the original of Mona Lisa.

There are never any sources on these things until 20 years after the fact. So we really don't know. But if you'd gone ahead and assumed America had a hand in every coup in the Western world over the past century, you'd at least have a pretty good batting average.
> Does anyone truly think its acceptable to let people die in ambulances outside of hospitals because a highly contagious disease filled all the hospital beds and medical staff is too fatigued to work? Maybe people with a political axe to grind pretend to think that.

Given widespread availability of vaccines, I think it is acceptable to turn away any non vaccinated people without medical exemptions to preserve hospital capacity.
The responses are basically corporate form letters: We're sorry, here's the (undecipherable) root cause, here's what we (wish/hope/pray for) will happen going forward. Those usually include some unverifiable numbers that downplay the severity, duration, and number of affected sites.

HN has lots of these apologies that seem insincere: Here's what happened, here's how we fixed it, here's what we will do to prevent this happening again. It's a PR exercise, not something that necessarily improves my confidence.

Any complex technology at AWS scale is going to have outages and mysterious problems and glitches, all the time. That's inherent to both technology and human organizations, and the HN crowd should understand that better than lay people. These threads mainly serve as launch points for endless armchair diagnostics and proposed solutions from people who have no skin in the game.
