R notebooks (which are not jupyter-based) addresses (to varying degrees) issues 3-6. But then you are of course stuck inside the R ecosystem, where only Rstudio and emacs are what I would consider fully mature editors.

As a casual rather than power user, I especially dislike the JSON format of jupyter notebooks.

I have a Laserjet M203DW and it's brilliant for documents and book blocks.

I also have an Officejet 8610 which works well enough and, thanks to Instant Ink's per-page pricing model that doesn't cost any more no matter how much ink you use, makes a nice little more-or-less free photo printer - you end up just paying for the printer (which I got used anyway), the paper, and $3 a month for all the ink you can eat.

There, now you've seen someone have good things to say about consumer grade printers. :) They really don't suck any more like they used to 10 or 20 or 30 years ago!
Where were they locking up the elderly? In fully staffed assisted living facilities?
The general idea is to create a PRNG using the cryptographic hash. Since these hashes generally produce far more bits than needed for scalars (64 bits), you can mix the extra bits for the next cycle of the PRNG and emit (say) 64 bits per cycle. The sequence of the PRNG output is the 'pad'.

+1 for the talk on "Literature Programming in the Large" (linked in the post above.)

Mr. Daly, your chat was formative for me as I made the switch to literate programming (primarily with org/org-babel) in most of my work and personal projects. While I'd love to see what was in your slides, I'm glad the talk turned out "off the cuff." Thank you!
The primary reason Whatsapp had to change the forwarding was because of the social impact of forwarding in some nations that lead to social unrest and deaths. So while there was a loss of privacy, the alternative was to remove the offer of the application itself in its entirety.
Can you get good eating off a computer scientist?

I have seen of the scrawnier ones in labs, they probably would only feed one or two people so I am not sure the utilitarian approach is a winner ? Maybe if we fed them a diet of Mountain Dew and Pizza it might improve the flavours?
Stay out of the hierarchy and start consulting, specifically troubleshooting. The rates are higher because the clients need to get stuff done and a lot of red tape will be cut for you by people in a position to make decisions. Also: your customers will be genuinely happy. Then: leave. Don't hang around because you'll become part of the problem, no matter how much they offer.

Increase your price by 25% every year or so, until you start losing customers, and ask your previous customers if you can use them as a reference.
Just curious, how old were they?
Hmm... I don't necessarily think it needs to be a single person knowing everything. For example a team made up of you, someone else who knew android and web, and a bunch of people who only knew web would work really well I think. Those who were experts in the native platforms would be responsible for bringing the rest of the team up to speed (providing context, advice, pointing to learning resources, etc).

As someone who came to a react-native project (as the lead) with a web and cordova background and no prior react-native or native platform experience, I've found that just knowing about the ios and android build systems and being able to add basic code to the AppDelegate (ios) and MainActivity (android) has been entirely sufficient for our needs. It would be different if we needed custom native modules (although I'm confident I could learn - I think learning something specific like that would be easier than trying to work out how to structure a whole native app), but then the react-native ecosystem is pretty broad these days. A lot of things are covered.
It is built-in. The autovacuum process is doing this. When you have a large database you may need to tune some config parameters, as the default conservative setting for low/mid databases are naturally different.

Running these manual commands is just shifting the config tuning for large databases to periodic „manual“ operations.
I meant in terms of the OP's complaint about fans spinning up at the slightest usage - that is an Intel CPU issue. Modern mobile intel CPUs get way too hot, too easily. You're right, the wifi side is Intel, although Framework could have used an AX200 without any problems. Although, AX210 does work pretty flawlessly now in the most recent kernels.
This is just inflation of knowledge work. We all have that paper turning guy at the office pre pandemic. Now it’s just evident how many that don’t perform any value
You can hustle your way to financial independence on a new shiny like Web 3, even as its gets harder to do the same on Web 2. If the only way to win is to be innovative and rich, and the only way to be rich is to ride a gold rush, then by god we’ll make a whole new industry to attract investment to fund said gold rush. This is my “bullshit industries” thesis - an economy wide manifestation of bullshit jobs.

Maybe this cyclic destruction and reinvention is one of the ways we know of to keep rent seeking in check, enable social mobility and the sustain the illusion of progress. True innovation does all that and more, but it really is very difficult, slow and unpredictable. Not at all like Amazon Prime (TM) 1 day delivery. 2/5 stars.

My plan is to gradually add more stories, diversions, pictures, smart words and a few controversies into this comment until it grows into a series of substack posts and eventually a book i can sell.

Just because they didn’t include aerosols doesn’t mean they’re useless. Aerosols might be important, but they’re not the single determining factor for climate change, there are many factors.

If your model includes most of determining factors for the system your modelling, then it’s going to produce pretty good results. There will be places where the model drifts, but you still expect the model to be pointing in pretty much the right direction. As you introduce more factors, your model starts to model details with increasing accuracy, but again you don’t expect it to substantially change the macro result.

I’m short we’re perfectly capable of knowing that the warming will happen without knowing about aerosols, the direction of travel is perfectly predictable, aerosols will only change the amount of travel, and not by an order of magnitude.
CRISPR Let These Patients with Vision Loss See Color Again (2021)
The current vaccines are leaky enough that any reductions in social restrictions below strict lockdown mean pretty much everyone is going to get Covid, generally over a very short time period. There doesn't seem to be any way around this. Also, the feasibility of putting lesser restrictions in place to try and spread the hospital load out is damaged by the fact that protection from vaccination fades relatively quickly - and that doesn't just seem to affect protection against infection, but also hospitalization and death. They're effective at reducing the number of deaths but just aren't the way out people like to claim they are.
Yeah, the pandemic amplified the already huge problems with teens and social media.

I think it is also not a game you can win (as in world wide usage) if you need users to build their own apps. The majority of users will not do that no matter how many tutorials one can write.
Quassel? Mature and works on everything except iOS if you use the split client/bouncer mode.

iOS is only not properly supported because the devtools and hardware are far too expensive for me to finance.

If you wanna deploy an ircd, there's some modern ones like ergo. Deploying ergo and the quasselcore bouncer can be easily done with a helm chart on your k8s cluster, you can even get Prometheus metrics out.
Had to deal with the bug where macOS does not login even with the correct password even on reinstall last year on several M1 macs. Frustrating to say the least!

Apple should not be able to control logon/pw of local system at all, especially if they can’t get it right!
Hey, on the Sail machine, user names were 3 letters, and you only got one level of subdirectory, also 3 letters long. So, in the syntax of the time, “[ACP,DEK]” was it!

(Six bits for each upper-case alphanumeric character means a 6-character directory name neatly fits into a 36-bit word on the DEC PDP-10. And file names were limited to 6 characters for the same reason; extensions were 3 characters, with the remaining 18 bits for file meta-data, I think.)

They changed the storage layer and the query planner in some parts to work correctly with their new storage layer. So it‘s a fork and not behaving exactly identical. I have seen some different execution plans for the same model and data because of the implications pf the changed storage layer and query optimizer.
Well, it’s the main functionality of the app, it records loops. What would you expect it to do?
The buggyness of Oracle surprised me. I expected complicated (but underestimated how complicated they make things) but what I did not expect was the bugs.

After having worked with PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle I cannot understand why anyone would pick Oracle. Its advantages can't be worth the hassle even if we ignore the license fee.

The concepts you mention on that page sound useful for respectful product design and I'll add the book to my reading list.

I'd like to offer some kind of value in return, probably reading material, although not sure what to suggest. I guess you might already be familiar with Edward Tufte's books on visual design?

AWS is basically never sharing any details, only when it‘s benefical in terms of marketing. The changes they made had not been possible with an extension in the past, and they are most probably still not fully possible without forking. But thats not problem, they are free to fork and merge upstream changes.

For MySQL any of the big users like facebook & co. Are running (heavy) forked mysql versions with changes they need.
New server and want a basic config for a production server? (I'm assuming brand new app here, no prior monitoring and knowledge on what to tune.)

Use this to get the values you need https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/#/ .

This saved me a lot of headaches, and it just gets the server into a good enough state from which you can observe and optimise later.

I'd also add in monitoring early, add a Prometheus exporter https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter and alerts https://awesome-prometheus-alerts.grep.to/rules#postgresql . There are a few Grafana dashboards available for the prometheus exporter, start with those.
PackageCompiler.jl helps significantly, but it's still an issue.
This is such a shit clickbait article [in fact hardly even an article. A brief paragraph attached to a Canon press release].

"Canon tells customers how to bypass DRM" = "When your canon printer tells you the cartridge is empty, just ignore the warning and keep printing".

Anyone who has a Canon printer knows this already. Bypassing the DRM would mean Canon providing you with a way to use unchipped cartirdges in their printers, which isn't happening, in spite of what the 'article' claims [or if it is happening, it's not covered at all].

When my lottery ticket comes up, I'm going to take great pleasure in smashing my Canon printer into a million pieces with a sledge-hammer. The 'ink has run out' messages don't bother me [as said above, just hit 'OK' and continue printing]. But what drives me insane is the fact that, if a dust mote lands on one of the cartridges, it can move it so very slightly that the printer no longer recognises it [presumably the chip contacts move out of alignment].

When I send a print job through, the printer then clanks, wheezes and groans for what seems like about 5 minutes, as if it's going to print, then makes an annoying Beep! Beep! Beep! and tells me one of the cartridges canot be recognised.

I open the top of the printer, wait another aeon for the print head to clank into access position, reseat the offending cartridge and close the lid. Then wait another ice-age for it to clank and groan before... Beep! Beep! Beep! Now one of the other cartridges can't be recognised. Sometimes I have to play this game of 'Cartridge Whack-a-Mole' for about half an hour, before the bloody thing decides it will deign to print. And, even then, it'll often print the first page absolutely perfeclty but the second will come out looking as if someone's shoved a tonne of quick-drying cement up the print-head nozzles. Thus leading to running the head cleaning procedure which, in turn is likely to lead to more Beep! Beep! Beep!-ing, as cleaning the heads is almost guaranteed to either empty one of the cartridges, or knock it out of alignment again.

So, forgive my ire about the vacuuous promises of the title of this submission. I dared to believe it was going to reveal an officially sanctioned 'hack' to allow me to lobotomise my Canon printer for once and for all.

Incidentally, although my printer is a Canon and I loathe it with a passion, I don't think Canon's printers are any worse than any others. Printers just seem to be one area of computer technology that has never got any more reliable with the passing years. I used to work in a university Graphics department. We had some big A0 roll printers there which cost thousands of £££s. They were always going wrong too. As were the expensive colour laser printers and high end inkjets.

Basically, printers are bastards sent to torment us.
"Cheaper" for a use-case like hosting static assets for your website/webapp. Torrents have high overhead which only becomes justifiable for big files and high latency being acceptable.
You'd think, but in my experience (devops engineer) that's a generous assumption of some frighteningly large companies.
That's pretty cool. Would be nice if there was an option to put the currently used filter/query into the shell history or the clipboard. So that you could experiment to find the right one, then back out and use it in a pipeline.

Have you looked into tuning autovacuum? Autovacuum should handle it and even it does not you should look at why it failed to run often enough.
> The filter in our implementation was a Bloom filter, so you could probabilistically hide what you were interested in.

Very funny, this is not the first time that I hear about the 'bloom filter solution. But, it does not make much sense in practice: for your payment transactions, do you want the transaction to be 'safe' or 'probabilistically' safe?

Is it that special day that you will do a 500k transfer that the probability will be against you and you will be ripped of your money...
Would that be legal? Unsure if it counts as legitimate research or insider trading.
Yeah I always like to think of hashing as a functions that maps an infinitely large namespace (all possible sequences of data) in to bounded namespace (usually 128-bits).

Find that makes it obvious why hash collisions are a thing and also why hashes are useful. A limited namespace is much easier to work with, assuming you don’t need the actual data.
Voluntary everything.

If you want to wear a mask wear one if you want to get a vaccine get one if you want to quarantine quarantine.

There's nothing humans can do to make this virus go away and all of these measures clearly aren't as effective as sold to us and the data is not as clear as people are led to believe.

The CDC continuously changes it's policies, the vaccine continuously changes it's effectiveness and durability, none of the data of anything justifying these restrictions is as clear as we're led to believe.

But if it's something that you want to do go for it!
Yes, I wonder what would be the best course of action. Pointing out the dangers to them early on, maybe?
It is more like reaching nirvana and enlightenment stage. When you're young probably fire is fascinating until you touch it and got burnt. People who own "everything" and go for minimalism have seen they really don't need those. People who has nothing hasn't realized they they are blessed already (a bit like Alchemist) and decide to embark a long and ardous journey to hoard as much as possible. They end up worry about their "things" and never got to enjoy it. They end up taken so much debt for the junks they acquire from a big eastern country. Is like Tiger Woods, go on satisfying his libido in the process destroy his family as he seek the plessure he lost his happiness. Junks hoarded are exactly like Tiger's sensual escapedes, ephemeral and yet extremely addictive...and destructive.
It is less necessary but it could still be worth running it since there is still a bit if overhead plus PgBouncer can be used to when doing failovers.
The one that's the most fun to you of course.
Similar to you, after some fun trying it out I landed on wik.js. Curious why you did too.

For me wiki.js had more capability for importing previously exported pages from OneNote and a more flexible document structure. In the end we went back to confluence though, as wiki.js lacked the capability to change the effective directory path of multiple pages (had to be done one at a time or via the API).

I really like both bookstack and wiki.js and they occupy a very similar niche. Do check them both out.

My ultimate wiki platform wishlist: comments module, markdown and attachment import/export, extremely fast tree hierarchy editor and renaming, and a good editor that enforces a fully standardized markup. Looks are nice too.
It depends on the container you use, Most seem to provide guidance on what paths you'll need to mount as volumes. I know the linuxserver.io [1] container puts all required files into a single `/config` directory to mount.

> Right now it is politically unthinkable for Western governments to demand people

Well now you hit the nail on the head. The issue hasn't been technical for a long time but rather one of "image". People have to still believe they have freedoms and whatever curtails them is for their own good. As long as you're given a good reason to submit to extreme measures (9/11 made the Patriot Act acceptable), or they happen slowly enough that you can't really see a boundary being crossed, these measures will eventually be put in place. And nobody will see a huge difference because they won't remember a time when it was hugely different.
I dunno when it happened and precisely why, but at some point before the pandemic every single store I visit (in Ontario) shut off the “are you stealing stuff?” scales and such.

Now I can scan items any which way with or without placing them in the bagging area.

I’m still salty about this becoming my job, though.
It looks like they have one significant competitor, New Holland (i.e. Cnh Industrial): https://csimarket.com/stocks/competitionSEG2.php?code=DE, and two smaller that are worth mentioning: Massey Ferguson (Agco), and apparently Emerson (though I couldn't find which brands they own at a quick kagi'ing.)

Boeing actually seems to have more diverse competition, including Lockheed, Northrup, etc (although they're dominant in the commercial airplanes segment, where airbus isn't mentioned, so maybe these stats are US market only): https://csimarket.com/stocks/competitionSEG2.php?code=BA
> If you are getting bored while trying to relax, do you really need to relax in the first place?

Yes, because boredom is important. Always being 'online' is detrimental.
Author here---I agree with you in that interdisciplinary research is not rewarded. I want to stress that I am not proposing to exploit PhDs by making them do support work. If anything, I am saying: when hiring them, consider rewarding the support that they might have already done instead of just looking at 'no. of papers in high-impact venues.'

> PhD programs should only be allowed when there's a guarantee of a worthy curriculum, and sufficient supervision, and support. There'll be less PhDs, but that might even be beneficial.

Absolutely! Maybe that's the way forward.
It's seems they get set in their ways and don't take action to make positive changes either. Never mind the next rhetoric trap, they're still in the first rhetoric trap...

Maybe all of this is a little bit of ageism, but we see that on the opposite end if the age spectrum too and I guess moving to a competency based test isn't practical.
Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave. At least 5. Also, whipping together a simple browser is quite easy given the embedding APIs available. It's good enough to make the point.
Given that this does not really give the orbit any real significance in terms of being shaded by the Earth from the Sun, is there another reason it's there?

I guess it gives you a very stable position for observations, but why not just put it in solar orbit then? Then again this is kind of a solar orbit that happens to stay close to the Earth at all times so that's a plus for comms.
I was in Melbourne for all but the first lockdown, and we were about as "happy" as a patient going in for knee reconstruction. I know that's not what you meant, but the lockdowns really sucked, even if they were the least bad choice and even if most of us agreed with them.

I'd imagine such a venture would be mostly marketing. No real innovation, which HN will point out, but lots of hype and your friend who doesn't know tech will buy one and tell you about the great new innovations and how they're disrupting the old monopoly.
Epson sells ecotank printers that have refillable tanks that don't require you to buy cartridges.
Your comment is spot on.

> But I totally agree that academia fails at rewarding people who facilitate the work of others. There is some perversion to this, since the key part of academia is precisely to spread and exchange knowledge.

Yes. I saw quite a few talented people turn the backs on a career in academia for exactly this reason.

> In this light it is funny to see that in many universities (especially in Germany) teaching is not valued much for career progression.

Also yes---but that part is at least changing a little bit (even though the predominant thinking is still 'Yeah, who cares?') in the younger generation of PIs.
Low property taxes inflate house prices. New entrants (e.g. young people) to the market have to pay these inflated prices.
