Plus, intellectually speaking movements like the Levellers and the Diggers were way ahead of their time, imho even the French Revolution didn't get to that level when it came to speech related to societal change, they had Babeuf but afaik he wasn't as mainstream, comparatively speaking. I think the radicalness of their speech was only matched on the Continent from the mid-19th century onward.
Thanks for writing and posting it. It looks useful. Like it says on the cover, it is about how to deploy Elixir to various cloud hosts such as Digital Ocean. There is not much about actual Elixir programming, but that is fine, it doesn't claim to have that.

I like that it is under a CC license. It's slightly unfortunate that the pdf is 27MB. Do you think of releasing whatever "source code" you generated it from? Can I ask what you used? (Maybe it says inside someplace, but I haven't examined the book closely yet). It would be nice if it were in a git repo or wiki somewhere, so that people could send updates as the Elixir and hosting ecosystems change.

I haven't yet used Elixir and one of my not-so-happy memories of using Erlang was that while the language and base libs were themselves well documented, in order to get anything done you had to know the whereabouts of a lot of community resources such as git repos, plus figure out various bits of deployment magic. This book will at least help with the latter.
> Human beings are also designed for aggression towards each other, yet we generally try to control those parts of our 'savage nature' in modern society.

Yes, we've developed quite sophisticated organizations to coordinate the violence, and then developed quite sophisticated weapons to carry it out.
I think that OP draws on his family experience where it was like that. People tend to normalize the experience of their family.
Because, despite the long discussion thread here, the relative size ranking of Rutland County Council doesn't matter here. The wry observation would have happened in other counties too. Pretty much no English county council has a dinosaur department, or a palaeontology department come to that. Calling in the boffins from a university/museum, that does, would be the response pretty much everywhere.
I know University of Calgary had a bio professor who got in hot water for abusing animals (essentially: he encouraged his student to not anaesthetize animals before surgery to fudge numbers). So there are definitely grad students who will happily torture animals if it can help their career.
no it does not, your php/node/perl/rails/whatever server-side rendering code can call exactly the same api as your native mobile app, assuming it runs on the same server, it could just call it at localhost/api/ instead of domain/api, or if the server can resolve the domain to a local address, even at domain/api
Exactly. Let Lutfhansa spend all its money to fly the empty planes.
As a layperson, your best bet is to listen to the experts who aren't politically motivated or just plain batshit crazy (there are always some, regardless of topic; you can often suss them out by their black-and-white ideology and us-vs-them style speech).

As for the day-to-day:

- Masks don't protect you from others. They protect others from you. So if nobody around you is wearing a mask, your mask will make no difference. If everyone is wearing one, your mask DOES make a difference. This becomes a "when in Rome" kind of thing when you're traveling (i.e. do what others do, and don't be a dick about it).

- Get vaccinated and boosted. This is proven, and you'll feel pretty dumb sitting in an ICU unit when a simple injection could have prevented it. Even with the latest Omicron variant, you can still get extremely sick and possibly even die (90% of ICU patients and almost all deaths are unvaccinated).

- Airline travel is one of the most common ways people get infected. Even switching to non-recycled air in the airplane is not enough, apparently. You takes your chances...

- Dining is generally safe as long as there's a decent distance between tables. Although Omicron is a LOT more virulent, so who knows how safe it actually is now...

Bottom line: Vaccination protects you from the worst parts of an infection, and then it comes down to your risk profile.
No, but I also have yet to see their governments making announcements that they will be banning ICE vehicles.

The long tail for ICE vehicles, even in western countries, will be decades after the last new one is sold.

The 1992 Nissan Sentra was still being manufactured and sold in Mexico until 2017 as the Nissan Tsuru. It was finally retired as Mexico has moved upmarket enough on the global scale that the government can do things like ban a $7k car due to safety concerns.

Similarly, I expect ICE vehicles to still dominate until such time as solar becomes so incredibly cheap and electric cars destined for Pakistan can be plugged directly into the PV array.

I think you are taking the comment rather out of context and just took the chance to be snarky.
The gentleman I was replying to is clearly new to the gig and he should try out a debugger, it will change his workflow immensely and likely make him a much better developer.

Yes, you still want logs (or events or traces, etc) in production to identify when edge cases or heisenbugs have occurred.
A debugger doesn't replace those but it does replace 'println` style debugging when developing new code.
What I learned is that GitHub is no longer a reasonable place to hold your personal source codes, no matter it's private or public. github is still a good place as a platform to show yourself, but it's never home like place where you hide.

YOUR ACCOUNT IS NOT YOUR ACCOUNT BUT SOME PROPERTY OF GITHUB (or Microsoft).

Since the cloud services (not only GitHub) are increasingly unreliable these days, maybe we should think more before choose to use them.
OP is not wrong
I think someone said it becomes debt. Not ideal for YC but not fraud either.
Both always need to be debugged in production with real participants and don’t get patches quickly enough.
> Not to mention in terms of making money, you would be far better off in the industry than spending 6 years in hopes of getting a tenure.

That's true for most technical fields in academia. A physics degree can land you a well paid job as a data analyst/scientist or in quantitative finance.
> _But why do we have only one choice of client when it comes to WhatsApp or Signal’s network? At least Telegram lets you roll your own client._

> _But protocols are better, because they make it so that I have a choice of clients — choice leads to competition._

In the Signal context, all we know about Moxie's stance on third-party clients is summarized in his "Ecosystem is moving" post from 2016 https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/. It's his call to make...

As for the protocol argument more generally, I was briefly caught up in the XMPP hype around 2014 and tried to run my own Prosody server. The XMPP ecosystem has the concept of "extensions" (XEP) whereby clients and servers can indicate whether they support some extension and then fail gracefully (or not) depending on that. I'd be curious how that has worked out for them—are there XEPs for mission critical things other than emojis, stickers, etc that you might want in a secure messaging application? What do you do if clients/servers are using old versions that don't/won't support them? Since Signal controls the client and server they can make breaking changes to core things without having to ask anyone. That's definitely a benefit for them (and my non-technical friends and family!)...

In my experience I got tired of hosting my own server and couldn't get enough people to switch to XMPP and remember my address. Now I have dozens of contacts on Signal. If someone asks me to WhatsApp them I tell them I don't have it, and then I use a regular SMS (or email).
America played large role in its own civil war. And in smaller wars with Mexico and what not before.
This is an extremely poor comment.

How does not wanting a child to get an infectious disease get extrapolated to never going near a car? They are not comparable at all.

Also OP is not asking you to stay home. They are merely concerned about minimizing harm to their child (as parents do) and hoping the <5 y.o. vax approval comes sooner than later.
Empty work. Slots aren’t maintained by moving passengers but by moving planes.
Just out of curiosity - how many different CVS did you use in the past 20+ years?

I went through 5 different CVSs and the history was gone forever in each migration - but actually JIRA is still the same after 16 years )))
'I sincerely believe that we could have been through with this if we had reached 95% vaccination by July.'

Do you understand it crosses between humans and animals such as deer and even house cats? You can sincerely believe in the Easter Bunny along with sincerely believing all animals can be vaccinated on approximately the same week, but sincerely believing in something does not make it possible.
I'm very familiar with the GPL, I just meant folks would rather find non-GPL alternatives. For a library that wraps a few ANSI terminal codes to enable color and provides a bunch of fake data for testing, I think finding alternatives (or just writing them yourself) wouldn't be hard.
Weird, two of those queries are right for me:
Query 1: https://imgur.com/6cy3jBg.png

The third query is wrong for me too, though.
Not to mention plenty of people (me at a big company included) used both of these packages as indirectly (as dependencies of dependencies) and had no idea about this until this week.
however, I think the more common case is that they set it to the latest bounded by a minor or patch version (as opposed to a major version) as defined by semvar.

at least that seems to be quite common in the npm/js world.
> Of course, the correct way to allocate slots is to auction them off.

... on the blockchain.

:sigh:
This still leaves the elephant in the room: who decides when this line has been crossed?
This point, I believe, is implied in the article. The trend of ARR/FTE is what the author recommends measuring as a metric.
But you totally forget that for credit cards to work, we need all the merchant terminals and ATMS where people make cash advances. How much electricity does THAT use? I guarantee you it's not trivial.
It is absolutely not morally wrong. Self-preservation is not morally wrong, at least not for the 1:1 exchange described here. Things get fuzzier for a 1:N exchange.
I don't think it's necessary to legislate for that per se. This is just indicative that Google has monopoly power in online advertising. With at least somewhat functional competition you would have an alternative to buying shame ads in Google's local newspaper.
This is what I would have done the moment the pandemic hit.
10 year treasury bonds are essentially risk free, as they are guaranteed by the US Treasury. Current 10-year yields are a bit less than 2%, so that's essentially your minimum return there.
Hi, Dang, really glad to hear about YC being the bridge for everybody else to enter startup space. Does YC accept applications from South East Asia ? This is the place where there will be a lot of growth opportunities but very few funding options. Should people register the company in Singapore to make it easier to apply to YC?
Yeah no.. The author chose to change his own project, that's in no way an attack.
People not only pulling random code from the Internet, but also integrate it automatically without review and without as much as locking the version is the problem here if there is one.

The author is under absolutely no obligation to maintain his project or to keep in some state desirable by whoever is currently using it.
> I don't know what incentivizes airports to take the "use it or lose it" model

AFAIK airports charge airlines start and landing fees. By threatening airlines to loose their slots they ensure their steady revenue stream.
adding another datapoint, I could only find the results the OP was returning in the 10th page (~100th result)
yeah, it's just nobody reads every package in that file.

apps generated via create-react-app have more than 2000+ transitive dependencies.
Cyber criminals are mailing out USB drives that install malware
They might be using all those Dreamcast GD-ROMs after the system's demise.
Microsoft may have the right to host and distribute this person’s code, but if they use it to take over the package and make decisions on the author’s behalf, it’s an attack.
Don't be "fair", instant answers have been useless misinformation in every instance I've triggered them. And they've been broken for years.

No one at Google is responsible for these half baked and largely irrelevant widgets or wants to stake their career fixing them.

I've heard this one, but then and now, what did God expect, if He didn't send any event to the man which would make him think that 1,2,3 was the salvation. He knows everything in advance, doesn't He?
> Being against harassment doesn't make you any less a believer in free speech.

The validity if your statement depends heavily on what's your personal definition of free speech, and where you draw the line regarding acceptable censorship and persecution from the state.

Considering the spectrum of free speech includes absolutists who argue speech can only be free if it's free from any consequences from the state, there's a huge grey zone on where to draw the line.
I think they are also formed from single crystals
> Other animals have also been shown to "befriend"/care for/grieve over animals of different species, so our own capacity to sympathize for animals should be no surprise.

This part is actually true. Some animals do befriend, cooperate with or grieve over animals of different species. Not all animals are bugs and spiders.

> Empathy evolved to aid in survival of our genome, but when empathy evolves to the point where we are unable experiment on animals to assist in helping our own species... that is something unnatural.

Evolution is not a god. Things evolve because it happens, not for fixed purpose. If we genetically evolve to be "unable experiment on animals to assist in helping our own species", then that evolution is as natural as anything else.
This is interesting. PBS indicated that the vaccine is 30-40% protective against omicron infection and that it jumps above 70% with a booster.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/health/how-effective-are-co...

I wonder if the early data has been proven wrong or if something is wonky about Alberta. At even 30% effectiveness you’d expect to see a big gap between unvaccinated and vaccinated new cases.

Weirdly near the bottom of your link they show nearly 90% effectiveness against all the variants of concern, but omicron isn’t listed. It seems like the vaccines would have to be negatively effective against omicron for all the other data to work out, though.
Those both have their own scaling issues, so not as clear of a step forward.

Ex: We pin & package lock our versions, but it's harder for libraries to (they should do ranges), including ones we release. Likewise, for our apps (non-libraries), updating pinned package locks is reasonable for our direct dependencies, nested dependencies are hard to really have confidence on. Colors and leftpad both exemplify this: both projects fail our standards for direct dependencies, so the concern is nested ones. Unlike apt, we don't want super stale versions of everything.

For stuff like security, defense in depth + minimal targeted mechanisms for targeted threat models are generally a win, and I think that applies here for mitigating rogue releases by rogue package owners. Shifts like bitcoin -- crypto mining, ransomware, and wallet theft -- have made stuff like package buyouts and sneaky patches a reality where we must 'assume breach' of bad releases, not just try to prevent.
I'm not aware of systematic audits of test kits

PEI has been validating tests for months.

The problem is that some of those people are also ok with sacrificing many humans for the benefit of few.
Yeah, nothing beats good documentation or comments - quite often you find some code that doesn't make any sense but you can see someone made quite an effort to do it in this particular way. You do your best to understand why it was done this way, but if the comments/bug tracker/wiki links/people with the context are not there - you just shrug and move on.
Merely a matter of degree? There is a chasm between stealing data and printing nonsense to stdout.

That's like saying getting all your limbs cut off is technically a flesh wound and the only difference between that and a papercut is the degree of the wound.
It’s a pretty logical consequence of delivery, basically in residential settings these days you’ve got:

- 230V 16A (3.6), that’s your bog-standard plug

- 230V 32A (7.2), that’s your high-amp, usually for things like AC, electric cooktops and ovens, driers, …

- 3-phase 400V 16A (11kW), same as above but for the rarer cases where 7.2 is not enough (e.g. high-end electric ranges commonly exceed 7.2 if they have high-power burners or lots of them), as well as higher-end tinkering / DIY tools, it used to be very common but really drew down over time as single-phase power & reliability increased and simplified setup, I have not looked but I expect EVs are leading (or will lead) to a renaissance of residential 3-phase.

- 3-phase 400V 32A (22kW), same as above with larger wires, AFAIK it’s basically the biggest supply you can get in a home or appartment.
Basic instructions:

1. Download the mod and its dependencies from Curseforge (should be 3 JAR files: oc2[1], sedna[2] and markdown_manual[3])

2. Install MultiMC[4], run it and sign into your Minecraft/Microsoft account

3. Click the Add Instance button in the toolbar and choose Vanilla version 1.18.1, give it a name if you like and click OK

4. Click Edit Instance in the sidebar for the new instance

5. Click Install Forge on the right sidebar and select the latest version

6. Select Loader mods in the left sidebar

7. Click Add on the right and select the three JAR files you downloaded in step 1

8. Click Launch down the bottom

Usually it's simpler to install mods with MultiMC if they're already in a modpack, but these mods don't appear to be in one currently.

Now when I drink one, the day passes and one starts trembling again.
For me, google gets it right. It’s their personalization.
I've had so many problems in the past, even on my own machine, writing quick scripts for Ruby that then fail because of clashing versions etc. Being able to produce a binary is nice, or even just using `crystal run`.

Btw, I took a look around your Github and found some really interesting projects (yours and others), thanks for replying!
I dont understand how you people are getting bad results. My first link for clam antivirus is clamav.net. And the remainder on the first page are download links and wikipedia links about clamav.

I'm not sure if you you people are trolling or what.
Yes, real wealth (and paper wealth) shifts around constantly depending on external factors, including all of the factors you listed above. Wealth is just optionality - if my house is worth $1M I have more options than if the my house is worth $500K, even if it is the same exact house.

Yes, labor is how wealth is produced, but in a sense, an individual's labor is more than that: a person's unrealized wealth is the discounted future value of their lifetime income minus necessary survival expenses. That's not a constant number - it depends on the individual's choices, but nevertheless, that is some number. And that number has some associated optionality.

If we increase the price of houses, the optionality associated with that future stream of earnings decreases, and therefore I believe that wealth has actually been transferred (since the optionality of the homeowner increases)
I think it is worth noting that Euler conjectured there was no solution to any square of order 4n+2, but in 1960 it was proved that only orders 2 and 6 have no solutions.
And the same can be said of non-ML IT ! You always contrast better when you understand the whole history behind why you write something a certain way, even if you could just learn on the job seeing it over and over. It's like how they teach proper sorting by giving you all the bad ways first.

Also, it's not often but you do have to show creativity at times, to solve a new problem or something, and having an intuitive theoretical understanding goes a long way vs someone who learned via base mimicry.

I think instead of gatekeeping we could build bridges: be very clear that salary / responsibilities will be lower at first and judge on results. If an ML person is brilliant, he won't be threatened by an idiot Java dev. And if a Java dev is able to produce good results even if the way he reached them is less graceful, then an ML engineer should probably start shifting the second gear :D
I am curious how heart inflammation can be measured at home. I would like to start recording a baseline for myself.
Will we ever get to “why” 6 is a special size. Thats what is really interesting to me.

The golden ratio thing: i wonder if thats an artefact of the algorithm? In other words there is a solution involving pi or other arbitrary constants? But the algorithm had some fibonacci-ness to it
I know another possible explanation, way simpler.

Vast majority of these SEO abusers are monetized through google ads. For every advertisement dollar spent through google, google takes 30-50%. And 80% of Google's income is from internet ads.

I would be surprised if google's search quality would not deteriorate - they have very strong incentive for that.
while true that, unlike dogs, you cannot directly take the prize away with out retribution:

these folks clearly do not own a squirt bottle.

i would only have to pick it up from 50 feet away and all you'd see is a bunch of exclamation points (!) exiting fast.

Reasonable, you really want to stay below the Cushing limit.
Multicore OCaml seems quite slow compared to the others. I wonder how many low hanging fruit there are in the backend to speed those numbers up a bit.
I've found a love for legacy code too - after working on a greenfield project and seeing it slowly but surely turn to rubbish, making bad old code good again is a net positive.
Indeed they do. Thanks for pointing that out.

Those statistics are very spotty and incomplete, though. They start with W15 but have nothing about 2016, for example. The format isn't consistent from one post to the other. They often (although not always) only give the percentage of "companies with one female founder" instead of the total percentage of female founders. They list the countries of origin but with no percentage at all except for the US.

Most importantly, they don't list the level of education of founders, which I think would show they are not primarily helping the disenfranchised.

YC is a business. It makes sense that they would choose healthy founders with high education levels, high IQ, drive, grit, what have you. They are a business, not a charity. And that's fine.

But the claim that they are making the world a better place is a bit rich. If (for example) you're funding crypto -- including NFTs! -- you're not doing that for the betterment of humanity.
