You don't have to be intelectually superior to be bored with people and not getting intelectual stimulation from them. In place of intelectual bookworm you might imagine teenager whose at the same time desperately lonely and bored out of his mind when he people try to talk to him.

The thing is some people have trouble finding people close to their niche. The solution is search better and/or widen your niche.
And not greyed out anymore right after upvoting and responding.

The downvoting system is indeed pretty witty, in that few people can downvote, but a lot more can undo the downvotes. I can't downvote myself yet, but I do check downvoted comments and when I feel that it got downvoted by personal bias, I simply undo it.

And usually don't follow up on what happens next, so whether it gets downvoted again or not I wouldn't know. But then I don't care that much, in most cases.
And similar to the n word - some Greeks and Italians have taken the word and used it themselves with pride. I’m conflicted about this but happy for my friends who can do it. I certainly don’t think anyone else should use the term.

That's an interesting perspective, and of course your mileage may vary.

Who knows what the counterfactuals are - what would your life been if you had stayed at work late for 20 years? Maybe you would be rich, maybe the outcome would have been bad. The grass is always greener, and there are lots of people who will sell you the line that if only you grind harder (for them and their friends) then you will be happier. I've seen it work out exactly once - a Romanian guy I know closeted himself with servers at a FAANG for 6 years and then quit with many $$$ went home and married the high school homecoming queen (Romanian equiv there of) he had spent his adolescent years dreaming of. As far as I know they are blissfully happy and live travelling the world. Mostly though the stories are sadder - near misses financially (within weeks of cashing out and then the founders had bad news... cashed out and then financial disaster soon after... paper valuation great, no exit ever, breakdown and pink slip) followed by a realization that nothing they ever did was worth a biscuit.
Yes it is. The people who made Unicode went out of their way to make life hard and offensive for CJK, Cyrillic, etc., users.
> What if a similar transaction error was committed by an individual or a business managed by an individual, the amount of hardship and pain they have to go through , before all those transactions could ever be reversed.

What makes you think these transactions can be reversed? In the U.K. most inter-bank transactions are non-reversible for a whole host of reasons. When a bank “reverses” a transaction, what that usually means is they sent an email to the receiving bank to pretty please send the money back. There’s 50/50 odds the receiving bank still has the money and is interested in helping you.
A rather flippant and presumptuous comment (i am already middle aged :-).

As Krishnamurti said; "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

The point is not that the questions are special/unique; it is that they are fundamental, perennial and plague everybody (the "me" is just a placeholder). The tragedy of existence is that there can be no settled answer to them and each of us have to find out for himself or subscribe to somebody else's answer.

But then again as Camus said; "Beginning to Think is beginning to be undermined".

Your start with realizing something is not quite right but unable to place your finger on it, begin asking questions each of which only reveals the rest of the layers of the onion and before you know it are starting to suffer from cognitive dissonance. You then abandon looking for answers and start to focus on learning to cope with the non-answers and getting on with your Life.
Not impossible, just depends how much in demand are you. Chinese companies prefer to train their employees to learn and then you have 996/007.
Pretty good book so far, but it’s very much over my head as a Rust developer who is somewhere between beginner and intermediate (and writes Rust at work).
Nice game.

Seems inspired by the old "Crush the castle" flash games.
Even some of the level layouts seem vaguely familiar.

Loads way too many (all?) assets on first load! Huge multi-MB images?

No information on how to play or what even the goal is.

The throwing is kinda strange: You need to pull back the squirrel but the nuts shoot from somewhere behind the squirrel. The control/aim is also very limited and I basically just spammed the shooting
Package your software with any regular package manager (or even as a container image if you prefer), run it with systemd on a VM, manage with Ansible or any other config manager. Or use NixOS. Most things don't need autoscaling, and binpacking multiple services onto machines only starts to make sense if you can do it at a very large scale.
It's still probably a good idea to get familiar with it though if in the near-term you're entering devops or wanting to move off something else. But for everyone else, it'll probably pass and give way to something different. Things come and go all the time, one doesn't need to learn them all, though I'm sure some people find enjoyment in trying their hardest to do so.
In my opinion, it is becoming the de-facto standard. Containers are the new packaging format. K8s YAML files are the new runtime config. Helm bundles it together.

I have no idea if ML goes in the direction of K8s, but a lot of the field is.

As a side note, CKA equals to a very gentle getting started with Kubernetes. I have it, it's a fun way to learn, it's the equivalent of passing an undergrad-level 101 class (with the difference of CKA being objective-based).
If that was the poet's intention, then it makes total sense.

I am a professional data scientist[1], and get paid to do these kind of analysis myself every day. Analysis far more advanced than odds ratios. I used that as a simple measure that even laymen can understand. Your non-existent analysis is not an adequate replacement for statistical methods.

Whats that popular phrase Ben Shapiro uses ..... - "Facts don't care about your feelings".

If you are willing to lose your job to avoid a protective shot, as demonstrated by every medical review and very basic math, you are long beyond the pale of logic or reason.
This might not be so clear. If you think about google crawling your site without you knowing it - technically its same unprotected request/response as calling API. If i had TOS that prohibits crawling of the site (instead of robots.txt) does it mean that google is breaking my TOS? Seems like the solution is clearly for me to protect my site/api - not other way around.
Mercurial was kinda that, and we mostly moved every mercurial repo to git.
I'm confident they were mired in superstition, like all cultures, and since we only focus on what has been tested and distilled over time, there is a tendency to think they were Ancient Wise Ones Without Flaws.
> And yeah, it's true: that could happen to Apple! But it will happen to Apple when Apple's products have become valueless commodities, and we'll all be talking about something else (Tesla Home Robots, I dunno) that has captured the global attention as the new growth fad.

Why should it take that long? AFAICS it'll happen the instant enough people realise what they're paying a premium for is fifty percent empty image and fifty percent lock-in and limitations. Just admit it: Having your online identity owned by Apple or by Google is a difference without a distinction. And paying twice as much for a device made by exploited suicidal workers in a Chinese factory as for another functionally pretty much identical device made by exploited suicidal workers in a Chinese factory is just stupid.
Hello from the 10%.
It isn't a definite conclusion. It still needs to appear before a full committee.

This temporarily one for an injunction did conclude that Ocado is using 3/4 patents. But the injuction was not granted.

Note: not an expert, but I'll probably ask one in patent law for more information to one to check if I'm correct. Because I have some stocks in AutoStore and that included rudimentary analysis of AutoStore vs. Ocado lawsuits without going deep into the actual patents.
In my experience, it works beautifully on HN. It's not censoring, it's giving everyone a timeout and a chance to walk away from the keyboard.

And the other way, you can’t make up for bad sampling with response count; the classic case study is the Litery Digest poll of the 1936 US presidential election, which polled over 2 million people but got the result wrong by over 30 percentage points.
I know you're just trying to make a point, but in all seriousness what you're saying could be true.

If your CRUD apps are used by tens of thousands of people to make life slightly better - or even if the money you make from your CRUD apps allows your wife and kids to live a free life and not have to worry about making ends meet - you could potentially be making a far greater impact than even someone who devotes their life to volunteering.
European banks should have been let fail... Facts on the table, please.

People should check the statistics first before making such statements. An average US bank is probably 12-13% capitalized (own equity Vs total assets. An average European bank is probably 8-10%. It seems less at the first sight, but if you take negative rates into account in Europe Vs positive ones in US, that's not such big difference at all. In general,banks are well capitalized both in US and Europe. Of course, not all apples are good (we're got 3000 or so banks in Europe), some are surely close to going belly up if not the government support (Italian banks, I'm looking at you). But that's a far cry from all European banks should have been let to fail..
The guy is unconvincing.

I don't believe RAM layout is that important. Of course it can affect perf, but slightly, not by 40%. For instance, Windows has ASLR (address space layout randomization) for security reasons, enabled by default. Microsoft would not do that if it would cost 40% of performance at random.

However, there're quite a few random factors. Random choices made by C++ optimizers can contribute about 20% random. Computer thermals when running the test can contribute 40%.

Too much statistics to my taste. For practical purposes, a simple "best of 5 runs" is usually adequate. If that benchmark is too unstable (typical for microbenchmarks with runtime measured in nanoseconds), "best of 20".

The statistics is probably wrong because these distributions are not Gaussian. Execution time of programs is bound from below for several reasons (no time machine, CPU throughput) but not from above (if you really unlucky, the computer may stall and the program will never complete), this factor creates large asymmetry in the distribution.

It's hard to selectively slow down code to emulate performance profile. You'd want same power consumption, and same load of external devices like disks and GPU.
So your advice is to just suck it up and accept that interested people need to spend billions and study for decades on the issue, because learning from previously successful endeavors is a worse teacher. Right.

It's fine to just half-ass it if the interest is only superficial or for a hobby. Otherwise it might create a very unrealistic expectation in the student, because the gained knowledge by doing it like that is pretty worthless in a professional setting
I try to use Twitter, but I need two accounts, one for Norwegian and one for English.

I also cannot tell Twitter that some of my post are probably most interesting for programmers, others for people living close to where I live.

etc

There was some hype a few years ago about how artificial limitations created "interestingness": Snapchat and Instagram and Twitter were held out as examples, and I guess this was around the time Yo (with the single "Yo" button) was released.

But personally, while I saw the benefits of Snap and Instagram I have newer seen any benefit of Twitters model.

And yet it stumbles on, driven by network effects years after first WhatsApp, then Telegram and Signal and Matrix have explored and found niches around almost everything Twitter could have been useful for.

Its worth having a brief understanding, then ignore it and use aws batch(for ML/non realtime stuff, it has far better DAG primitives).

k8s is a bad fit for most things, but people feel very happy using it, so might as well jump on board the bandwagon.

For small deployments (<20 instances) with a few services, ECS is far easier. Even though its annoying and opaque.
I think the biggest mistake is the assumption that if others were allowed to use your creation in their works, you would suffer in some way, that it would be taking money and/or fame from the original artist. I think it couldn't be further from the truth.

For instance, look at Dmitri Glukhovsky and his Metro books - be basically allowed anyone to write any books placed within the same universe, still using the "Metro" logo and characters. Dozens of other books appeared, telling the tales of other metro systems elsewhere in the world and how they've dealt with the apocalypse - but the point is, all those other books have only increased the popularity of the original, and expanded it.

The other good example, weirdly, was always Star Wars books - especially pre-Disney star wars was very lenient with what stories could be told, and unless it was just straight up smut it would be allowed - as a result, star wars fans had hundreds(thousands?) Of books telling stories with their favourite characters and new ones but taking place in the universe they loved. Yes Lucas took a cut, but in general you could just write a book about Han Solo and it would be fine.

That's how copyright should work. Why not let other people tell stories with Pooh and the rest?

Note that the flu disappeared pretty much everywhere, regardless of interventions and restrictions. The likelihood that lockdowns or masks eradicated the flu is very low. More probable explanations are that we pretty much shut down international travel, which is how new flu strains get around, or that the coronavirus out-competed the flu, by being more easily transmitted.
Though I can't find it right now, there was a recent paper that did do some effective copying/compaction under a normal malloc/free regime. It did so by noting that once two pages were getting somewhat empty, and the allocations within them wouldn't then overlap, it could use virtual memory to put them in the same physical page. I believe it claimed effective results, though I cannot recall the scale.
Having used SVN for a decade before we all moved to git, I have to say I've never noticed any improvement in our productivity. I.e. the limiting factor wasn't how well you can do a merge.

In fact I've probably experienced more cock ups with git due to its increased complexity and insane naming scheme. I mean "checkout"... Completely inappropriate for what it does.

Obviously with git you can work offline then sync later on, but that's not something you have to deal with in most organisations.
Some of you are clearly going to the wrong parties.

“The best parties are a wild mixture of people. Take some actresses, a bearded painter, your visiting friends from Brussels, a politician, a hairdresser, and then toss them all together. It’s especially important to have all age groups. Of course I wouldn’t want to have hippies come crawling in with unwashed feet, but all the younger people I know are bright and attractive and have something to say and they dress like human beings. Another important party secret is I always add a splash of vodka to everything. Nobody knows and everyone ends up having a wonderful time.” - Joan Crawford
When I signed up for twitter many years ago as a student, I used it to follow tech people. It was nice to learn new stuff. But it also felt very limited. Who to follow? What's just noise? How can I follow someone's tech tweets and not personal tweets? How do avoid political rabbit holes? And why should anyone follow me back? Myself retweeted random stuff I cared about, wrote some personal tweets etc. So I ended up abandoning twitter for many years as I kinda didn't find a use case for it.

Last year I made a new profile, though. Not a personal one, but dedicated to a single cause. It's much more fun to have this hyper focused profile. People follow me because they know what they get. I interact only with related content etc.

But the interface is confusing. Very hard to follow discussions when they branch out. And can't follow new comments on something. The notifications are impossible to make sense of, and I don't even get that many. I had to learn the etiquette on how others in my area uses tweets, retweets, quote tweets etc, and I still don't understand it all.
I agree on that point. To extend, I said RDTSC but was actually thinking of QueryPerformanceCounter() (my bad). Going App->Platform becomes problematic when an abstracted facility cannot be implemented as a simple function call but requires a "protocol" that involves multiple function calls. QueryPerformanceCounter() is a simple case here, it only requires an initialization step using QueryPerformanceFrequency(), but it could already be seen as an absraction leak. Either that, or the abstraction has to be designed to include calls and data structures that are only used on certain implementations. This requires foresight when designing the abstraction and it makes the abstraction inconvenient to use.
(2nd attempt, realized the outlier spike is in "unvaccinated and 80+" category). Utter garbage data. Using the breakdown by age we note a huge outlier spike in unvaccinated cases in the 80+ age group, 800/100k vs. 5-10/100k. All other age groups show a decline in case rates for both vaccinated and unvaccinated, with a vaccinated case rate << unvaccinated case rate (5x-10x). I see no way to add up the breakdown by age case rate numbers into total case rate numbers showing vaccinated case rate taking over unvaccinated case rate.

Couple of related notes:

* Covid statistics without a breakdown by age / date / vaccination status are garbage. Possibly BMI and/or immunosuppressed status should also be added to the mix. The authorities failure to publish this data breakdown 2 years into the pandemic is going beyond incompetence.

* Focusing on "cases" beyond a coarse "going up or going down" is largely useless. Observed "cases" are more likely to indicate test penetration than actual case numbers, and test penetration may significantly vary between age groups, institutionalization settings, etc.
Yes of course! Great essay (i had known of it earlier as "The Last Man") and i do subscribe to some of its viewpoints. For anybody who wants a quick overview of the main points the wikipedia page does a great job: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Messiah

> This doesn't make much sense. If the stories enter public domain, they enter in their entirety.

In the USA all character names and book titles are public domain anyway - but these can still be protected under trademark (The name being public domain doesn't mean that anyone can create derivative works though - these are still protected).

For instance, the name "Mickey Mouse" is in the public domain (i.e. someone can say it without it being licensed) while stories about Mickey Mouse are still under copyright, and you cannot use 'Mickey Mouse' in your own advertising or to sell a product as it is still a trademark.

As another example, I can create the character "Dude The Donkey", own the trademark "Dude The Donkey" and also write a story about Dude The Donkey that I put into the public domain (e.g. CC0), however the fact I have written a story and put it into the public domain doesn't mean that someone else is allowed to sell "Dude The Donkey" branded merchandise - as I have a trademark on that.

(This is just my understanding, IANAL)
> The Democrat south tried to block the civil rights act.

You do know that the racist southern White Democrats generally switched parties in the years following Johnson’s support of the Civil Rights Act and the Republican Southern Strategy which focused on appealing to those disaffected racists the way the Republican failed to the last time they got upset with a Democrat supporting civil rights in the 1940s, right?

There’s a reason its not the Democrats waving Confederate battle flags around and having their presidential candidates endorsed by the KKK any more.

> Most things don't need autoscaling

Correction - most things can't be autoscaled. I'll eat my hat if more than 25% of existing k8s clusters can even autoscale. Most will use PVC's and other stupid overengineered hoops to bind CPU to specific physical storage.

TLDR - k8s is just a painful enterprise thing to justify ops budgets for BigCorp. (Presumably, to counteract the fact that much of that budget went into "the cloud" lately.)
Do you have more technical details on this issue? They only mention "scheduling issue", which doesn't mean anything, really.
Thanks for explaining this. I feel like I have a better understanding.
No, it was not West. It is in post communist block. Industrialized only later then west.

Every village big enough to have church has also tavern. Usually close to each other. People drunk a lot, actually. They were poor a lot, but alcoholism was a thing and big social issue.

Paying in work or work for work was a think exactly as you described.

If anything, current western norms are significantly less social. People visit each other less often. You don't have drinking and talking till late while kids run around never at all. Especially as you get older. The way we live forces us isolate in middle age and lonely in old age.
