That does nothing except removing a useful metaphor. I don't think it will help abused children (in the same way calling your most important branch "main" does not seems to help... uhm who was that supposed to help or help feel better?), and it will just lead to confusion as you try to find a new term (like the main branch).

I may be wrong of course.

Btw, my first guess would have been that this was about ColoRectal Cancers. It's not.

Apologies for being so off topic.
An encrypted disk would be kind of useless in such a device as it would require the user to login every time the device reboots, unless they intend for it to never be rebooted. I’m not sure what you mean by network key in this case.
I worked for a US SaaS company about 10 years ago. Every new engineer got a MacBook, iPhone, 3G wifi access point, branded shoulder bag ... And an AMEX. In Europe. Oh how we laughed.

Every time we went to an event on the company dime, we always had to go through the charade in every hotel and restaurant. "Do you accept American Express?"... "Haha, nope!" (To the line of colleagues waiting to check in) "They don't take AMEX". "Bollocks. Well, no surprise." So everyone puts their travel, hotel and meals on their personal Visa/MasterCard and claims back expenses later. I don't think I ever used that AMEX
Reading the source code is very helpful if you are an experimented programmer that already grasped the basics of the language.

It helps you to see what are the idioms, what does optimized production code look like.

Compare C++ and Go std lib and it’s easy to constate the difference in language goals that they have.
In general I would agree, but (as multiple people pointed out) the zig standard library source code is very accessible.
I think closing someone’s bank account just cause you don’t like him is worse for your reputation.
Yes it's absolutely a white box, at least for me on mobile Safari
Back in the 90s, I recall something similar. Due to cost of hardware, networking wasn't as hi-tech as it is now. So it would be common for medium sized office buildings to have CAT3/5 cables trunked from everywhere in the building down to a central patch room, in which there would be 1000s of patch ports and patch cables stringing everywhere into discrete hubs that had no-onboard management. To trace a connection you'd have to start with the wall or floor port number that the end device was plugged into, and hope it's mapped correctly to a patch panel/port number in the patch room, and then manually trace any patch cable from there onwards to the hub etc.

The whole system falls apart when you have no idea where in the building the end device is, if you are lucky there may be a managed switch on the network route somewhere that may help you narrow down the location somewhat.

So yes, it did happen sometimes that the only way to find a box was to send a desktop alert and hope the admin of that box contacted you.
Yes I agree. Often there is also the dilemma if you live in a polluted area and have purifiers in the classrooms.

Opening the windows will reduce CO2 but increase PM2.5. Not opening will lead to lower PM2.5 but high CO2.

Here in Asia in highly polluted areas, positive pressure systems are getting more and more popular at home as well as in classrooms[1].

It's mostly because conflicts are rare. The conflicts of the past 20 years were very small and asymmetrical in nature, there was no open conflict between 2 militaries that both have significant air power.

> The other problem is, you have to specify table and column names in queries (duh, how else), but that means the entire persistence model is hard coded and need manual tweaking and so on. In an ideal universe, each field would be generic, each object generic and each collection of objects generic and all functions being generic.

Yeah, define the database in a database. And then define the database for the definition of the database in a database.

Maybe bailouts should be accomplished as stock purchases by the government at a price set by the government. If the price the government wants to pay is too low, others will bail out the company.

Why is this an acceptable sentiment to have? This defeatist "who cares, the planet will be fine!" stance? Who gives a shit if it's happened numerous times in the past? Do you just want to sit by idly and let things get worse in what time you have left on the planet?
They love Nintendo, but Nintendo doesn't love them back. That always seemed sad to me. It's obviously too late for them now, but lesson for the next generation: don't fall in love with closed platforms!

Fighting increasingly aggressive attempts to lock you out from your own hardware just doesn't seem worth it to me.

I was curious about the specific equipment they were using and found a list of spec sheets on page 11 of [0]. I'm really happy they decided to use models that all have manual fresh-air calibration.

A big problem with DIY projects is that most of the sensors have a built-on, on-by-default auto calibration function, which assumes it will consistently see fresh air for ~1h per day (or other period), which isn't always the case in an environment that doesn't have commercial HVAC (like a house or small school).

When the assumption is broken, the calibration is too and the data are close to useless as absolute measurements (they still have some small value as relative measurements).

The assumption that a fresh air baseline will always be seen is particularly easy to break right now. It's winter, so you're less likely to open the windows and due to COVID, you may be working from home, leaving very little time for CO2 to disperse.

Cooking of any kind will cause all sorts of pollutants to spike, including PM2.5 and finer particles.

Does elevated NO2 from gas stoves warrant banning them from buildings? They are great for certain methods of cooking, and can be used sparingly.

In a modern building in a modern city, where just baseline NO2 routinely exceeds 30+ ppb (with CO2, PM2.5, formaldehydes, etc. also reaching unsafe levels), an activated carbon air filter alongside a HEPA filter is necessary to compensate for pollutants out- and indoors anyway—and AFAIK a good air filter setup also lowers nitrogen dioxide levels.
They used to do that, but now they issue modafinil I believe. Much safer.
A generation later my kids are loving Kirby on the NES Classic Mini, so I'd say they succeeded!
I can see why. Of course a role that requires CTRL-F level of skills attracts low-skill-required resources to a "helper" subrole. But if you replace it with automation, true skills will remain and thrive. Not that I like them on emotional level, their job is to hire you as cheap as possible and demand as much as they can. But hey it's a market. Learn to negotiate and to plan ahead financially for search periods to avoid premature decision pitfalls.

A problem is that SQL does not cleanly map to what the DBMS does to execute it. For simple queries, this is exactly the point. For more complex queries, the SELECT-FROM-WHERE straightjacket feels quite restrictive though.

The abstraction really hurts when you have to optimize slow queries and convince the optimizer to do it the right way. Entering the query plan (essentially, the annotated AST of an expression of relational algrebra) would often be helpful.

Also, SQL is ultimately text. This makes it very cumbersome to build tools that dynamically assemble queries, like ORMs or customized search dialogs, and to insert parameters. Parser performance impact overall DBMS performance quite a bit, and it would be useful to reduce overhead there too.
Spacetime, energy, the laws? All the particles seem to come and go.
No, you can have the initrd boot to a dropbear sshd that allows the operator to ssh in on reboots and provide the key.
Iirc comparing modafinil and meth is like comparing budweiser and everclear.
If there are fundamental philosophies in a programming language (and there usually are), tutorials ought to begin with lots of tiny example programs that exemplify those fundamentals. They should continue with examples of gradually increasing complexity, but ALWAYS using those same fundamentals in various combinations to show how those fundamentals are intended to work together in all sorts of ways.

If the tutorials aren't deliberately built up from the language's own defining philosophical fundamentals introduced singly and then in combination, then someone like me will just re-use the fundamentals I learned in whatever other languages I know that feel most similar to the new one. Most languages can be used in roughly parallel ways with just a change in syntax, even if that's not how they are supposed to be used, and if I (like most of us) have to get up and running ASAP in some new tool and don't have a quick on-ramp to establish the preferred patterns right from the start, I'll just have to re-use as much as I already know and just get on with it.

Kirby's Adventure is absolutely brilliant. It has some of the most varied platformer gameplay of any game ever made, let alone on an early console like the NES. It has four quite fun minigames built in, counting the jumping minigame at the end of each level. There are pseudo-3D levels (the tower world), a boss fight where you fence with a knight, and IMO the most remarkable final boss fight I've ever played, where the game becomes a side-scrolling space shooter for the final section. Despite all this variety and the NES only having two action buttons, the controls are absolutely rock solid throughout.

It's really a masterpiece of early video game design. Only takes about five hours to beat, but has more gameplay stuffed into those hours than most modern games made with teams of hundreds.
Great tip - thanks! :)
Hey that's pretty unfair, I was just chastised a couple days ago for implying the killer use case for the blockchain was criminality!
Getting a degree is almost always worth it. There are three benefits of getting a degree:

1) You get a thorough and broad knowledge about the subject. Many self-taught programmers focus on just the stuff they need at the moment, and lack a lot of the breadth that comes from full time studying a subject 3 - 5 years.

2) You'll get to know many people in your field, both students and professors, and depending on your university, you might even get contacts to the industry. This is neat because first of all it's fun to meet like minded people, and second of all you'll get to be part of a network that makes finding jobs much easier.

3) It's much easier to find a job when you have completed a degree. A completed degree gives you instant credibility. You can of course get a job without a degree, but every time you apply you're going to be playing in hard mode, especially when all the other candidates have a degree.

Anyone who thinks they don't need a relational database eventually ends up reinventing and rewriting aspects of an RDBMS, except badly. You're just kicking the can down the road.
>>trucks while "rolling goal"

If you are going to insult people at least get the terminology correct, it is rolling coal, not goal.

Further most people rolling coal are not libertarian.

Incorrect, Libertarians / Individualists do not reject the concept of society or working in groups to accomplish a goal. However they believe said interactions should be VOLUNTARY, and not forced upon you by 3rd party actors.

I loved the article!

Over the years and after burning out I’ve learned observe my state of mind, but mostly for the distracted mode, and when I finding in it I’ll just stop whatever focus work I’m doing because very few good things come out during that mental mode, and a ton of frustration is built.

The part that I haven’t been able to accomplish is a good use of the low filter mode. For me in this mode I have little to no brain power left, and thus anything that is not effort than a YouTube video is a chore. I’ve curated my YouTube so is not completely full of trash and have chosen things that I don’t feel like I just burned a few hours of my life… but still, I’m trying to figure out how to use low filter mode better.

Again, good writing, thanks!
Why would you be scared of anything when you are God?

Fear of disease is a normal biological response present in many other animals. The fact that we manage to overcome this fear through social conditioning is laudable because in several cases, the fear is worse than the disease.

But in this age, that should not be the approach we take, because we have a far better alternative available. We have a growing arsenal of tools to make use of the best approach: genocide against the diseases. We did it against small pox. We can do it again.
As I was reading this I was hoping for modern day Cuckoo's Egg. But it was not to be.

Hey regarding groupby operations in pandas. I have been moving more and more (for too complicated groupbys) to running them something like:

out_rec = []
for id, group in data_frame.groupby("id"):
ladidida....
result = f(group)
out_rec.append(result)

in my experience it isn't much slower than a groupby.apply.
Except that Jesus taught his disciples not to wash their hands before eating -- a basic hygenic practice that people of his time certainly understood. However valuable his moral teachings may have been, Jesus is not exactly an authority on preventing disease spread...

(Also, the story of Jesus and the leper may have been nothing more than an attempt to talk about Jesus' miraculous powers.)
When I was a kid, people would bring a hammer a screwdriver or wrench to a set of lockers. One guy moves down the line sticking the metal bar through the lock and smashing it with the hammer to pop the lock open, the rest of the guys clean out the lockers, then everyone runs (they would abandon the tools which were probably also stolen). Not sure what they would actually get away with but things like Sony Walkmans and other valuables (e.g. expensive coats) would be stolen all the time.

Well, they won't. All NFTs are hosted on hilariously centralized services like googleusercontent.com and similar.

Browse through https://opensea.io/, the most prominent NFT marketplace at the moment. Digging through the DOM of their website will reveal a lot of links to quite standard content storage solutions. They usually go through a bit of trouble to prevent people from simply clicking "view image in new tab" to reveal the actual location, but it's not difficult to get around.

So far they are annoyances for ideas that either work or probably work a little.

The cruellest visceral reaction would be the pride people had for dumping sand and gravel on teens park equipment. Not, sorry but we have to do this. It was here are photos and we are proud to stop teens from doing things they have not even done yet.

But the cruellest by far is the ultra rich West protecting their elderly, not protecting the worlds people, not protecting the worlds elderly, almost all arguments from the Western nations have been their elderly over all foreigners.

Chose your own family over others. Protect them at the expense of others.

But when people used their own countries elderly as a tool that implicitly devalued foreigners it showed their true colors. From the anti-immigration side I expected this. From the Left I have grown to expect this, cruel people devalue those they claim to support.
Ask HN: What's your experience selling shares with Equity Zen or Forge Global?
Hi HN. I'm a co-founder at a startup that is 9+ years old. Business metrics are solid, raised series C recently and have plans for IPO in the next 3-4 years. My goal has always been financial independence and to achieve that I'm looking to sell about 30% of my shares.

I've looked at possible options and got intrigued by secondary market platforms like Equity Zen and Forge Global. Has anyone here used these platforms? What was your experience like? Any advice?

For the context, I'm not an exec at the company. Action is in UK.

P.S. Sorry to post under anonymous account.
Suburbanization happened all over the world around that time. E.g. Amsterdam: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/may/05/amsterdam-bic.... It happened more in the US than Europe because we had big swaths of empty land while Europe was much more developed already. And it happened as well in American cities that had no segregation to begin with, or non-whites to flee from.

“White flight” happened, but I think urbanists misunderstand the causality. The 1960s economic and technological revolution allowed people to enjoy comfortable suburban lives. Black people were prevented from doing so by economic circumstances and discrimination. But the impulse to leave to city wasn’t caused by that.

One of the many reasons that I dislike the push towards wifi/wireless for everything. It makes my hair stand on end to see people using wireless keyboards (which people usually have for at least 5 years). People seem so disgusted when you even suggest that these things are inherently bad ideas which will inevitably lead to consequences and immediately push you into a naysayer/antiprogressive category verbally or silently.
This is very strange to me considering that Adderall was a disqualifying factor when I joined the service. Very interesting, I had no idea this was used today.

Nope. Well, not without some extensive DNA meddling, to the extent that it may LOOK like a dinosaur, but it really isn't.

Putting aside the DNA issue (see other comments), there's also environmental issues - the atmosphere during prehistoric times (I'm not an expert here, so excuse the vagueness) was far more oxygen-rich that it is now. If a real dinosaur managed to time-travel to our present time, it would die of asphyxiation like a fish out of water.

If third party companies share personal information with others for these kind of problems, I think there is no further need to bolster the need for anonymous or pseudonymous user accounts. Not only because Activision already had data breaches that exposed user information.
Right, that's a sort of counterpoint. It is nice to know that you're going to be getting a fork so you have context for the kitchen -> sink -> drawer instructions. Similarly, I expect in many cases, when you have a complex query, the fact that you know the result is going to be "userid, sum(score)", it makes the subsequent query easier to understand (as you know where it's got to end up). "Can you get me a fork? In the kitchen, next to the sink, in the drawer" might be even friendlier.
Thanks :)

The first time I encountered a digital facsimile was when I studied medieval literature in Germany.

There is the great "Codex Manesse" [1] (I once had the opportunity to see the real one in an exhibition) that is one of a kind.

It is irreplaceable and there are but a selected few people who are even allowed to touch it (with gloves). It could not be damaged, but was digitized without harm nonetheless [2].

So I actually never thought of digitalisation as a destructive process.

Not sure if this applies to the parent, but one way this Buildkite

Queues map pipelines to agents. Agents can be assigned IAM roles. If you want a certain build to run as an IAM role, you give it a queue where the agents have that role. For AWS, Buildkite has as a Cloud Formation stack that sets up auto scaling groups and some other resources for your agents to run.
