No, they often don’t understand the alternatives available because the wolves are guarding the henhouse (software devs who don’t want to work with the pace of on-prem IT).

No shit, that’s why software devs aren’t sysadmins.
So? Nothing a CS grad couldn't manage, that sounds like real problems they grapple with. Still a notch better than no code.

Ask HN: What is the shortest path to making web apps for a data engineer?
This isn’t to get employed as a web developer but to have the ability to build something myself.

For context, I’m a data engineer working for big tech and know a lot of sql and enough python for my day job. But I’ve always wanted the ability of thinking of an idea and implementing it end to end.

What’s an efficient stack that I can use?
Not providing a platform for or promoting scientific misinformation is not the same thing as censoring scientific misinformation. The problems of science will not be solved by promoting pseudoscience or scientific information. That's just making a problem that is bad and making it worse.
"Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and several bat coronaviruses employ Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) as their functional receptors1–4. However, the receptor for NeoCoV, the closest MERS-CoV relative yet discovered in bats, remains enigmatic5.

In this study, we unexpectedly found that NeoCoV and its close relative, PDF-2180-CoV, can efficiently use some types of bat Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and, less favorably, human ACE2 for entry. The two viruses use their spikes’ S1 subunit carboxyl-terminal domains (S1-CTD) for high-affinity and species-specific ACE2 binding. Cryo-electron microscopy analysis revealed a novel coronavirus-ACE2 binding interface and a protein-glycan interaction, distinct from other known ACE2-using viruses. We identified a molecular determinant close to the viral binding interface that restricts human ACE2 from supporting NeoCoV infection, especially around residue Asp338. Conversely, NeoCoV efficiently infects human ACE2 expressing cells after a T510F mutation on the receptor-binding motif (RBM).

Notably, the infection could not be cross-neutralized by antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV. Our study demonstrates the first case of ACE2 usage in MERS-related viruses, shedding light on a potential bio-safety threat of the human emergence of an ACE2 using “MERS-CoV-2” with both high fatality and transmission rate."

You have no control over updates. It happens especially when you want to give presentation. Also you can not poweroff whenever you like, because it chooses when the update should happen. No amount of changing setting can fix this.

These are few problems.

After years of driving a several Mercedes E-Class cars, I now drive a 2004 Jeep Cherokee (not the 'Grand Cherokee'... In the US my Jeep is called the Liberty).

It's very basic compared to my Mercs, but oddly I enjoy driving it more - and I'm not one of those 'love cars, love to drive' people.

I relate to the point in the article about fancy screens; In my Jeep I fitted a very cheap (£30) Chinese radio head unit. It has almost no display, or useful functions, but it does have Bluetooth, so my phone does all the heavy lifting - internet radio, music, GPS etc. I can upgrade my phone at any point, and my jeeps infotainment system gets a bump-up at the same time.
Yes Tata Steel tournament was great, I just don't think we need variants like Fischer random chess. There is still lot to explore in classical chess.

Anyway, how is the first variant you described called? (one starting with empty board). My favourite is crazychess, lot of tactical fun there.
> it's kind of fascinating.

For me I'd replace that with: scary. Full size A4 paper and bigger screens in cars you can stream movies on while driving (distraction leading to accidents); the Las Vegas Loop which is just a tunnel for only one type of car (waste of infrastructure space); pushing untested AI (crashing and killing people). These aren't fascinating things.
Meditation is not for figuring things out (it can be, but I believe this context implies that this is not).

I would also point out that by means of heavy caching Wordpress can solve all the performance issues indicated by the author as the main advantage of SSGs.

> Not everyone who writes knows how to program too.

Aren't static generators much harder to grok for nonprogrammers than wordpress?

This is a non-problem. The problem is not wordpress. The problem is that modern browser programming, and modern javascript in particular are way more complicated than they need to be for lay people to build their own websites as they did in the good old days. That's why everyone moves their communities in discord instead of building a self-hosted forum. We need to be talking about how to make the browser an accessible platform for everyone again (including moms and pops, remember Frontpage?). NOT to keep over-complicating even the smallest tasks and build frameworks that only benefit the BigCorps
It goes all the way to the top. The power of managers is (among all the other things) somewhat proportional to the size of the structure below them. They probably know they could fire more than half of their people and hire them back when needed, but that impacts their power.

Lada is known for its low reliability. Dacia seems to be in a more gray area, sometimes scoring well above average, sometimes below.

I know someone who had a Lada Niva, and he got stranded because a low quality pipe joint blew. True, the repair was extremely cheap, and it could probably be temporarily repaired with a hose and two zippers. Are you a mechanic that can locate and fix those kind of failures? Then Ladas are for you. You can't tell apart the windscreen fluid from the blinker fluid? Your Lada will spend more time in the repairshop than on the road.
We have a 2008 Lexus, with the standard big screen on the dash; its UI is objectively terrible - it is like the thing has gone through zero user testing on any of its functions. The sat nav interface is probably the worst - we usually spend 5 mins out of sheer bloody-mindedness trying to program a destination in before giving up and plugging in a smartphone instead.

> In the pure theft case, there's no intervening act by a store employee. It requires criminal intent

Yes there is, they have cameras and people who can frisk at the doors. I don’t think you want to go down the path of “if there was some action an employee could have taken to stop it, it’s not theft”.

> No, they don't have access to admissions on HN years later.

“They can’t prove it” is not an argument that something isn’t theft. You can go through whatever mental gymnastics you want to go over how difficult it will be to legally prove theft for prosecution, but it doesn’t change what it morally is at all.
I'm currently in the process of moving my simple blog away from Ghost (formally WordPress) into a static HTML site. I can write HTML with my eyes closed and it's barely more inconvenient than Markdown, only I don't need some parser in the middle to complicate things. The most painful part of this is rewriting my content and moving the images etc across but it's more mundane than anything. Only dynamic part of the site is some simple includes for the header and footer. This is the way I used to run my site back in 1998 and it's far less troublesome. No security updates to worry about, no plugins, just straight up content.
And exactly how big does the gap need to be before they stop being comparable? We can compare 99% effective vaccines and 98% effective vaccines, surely? so a 1% spread is ok... but a 10% spread and now we're in "no parallel" territory?
It's the tooling you're making that chip with, not the chip design.

You can buy used equipment from a few nodes back for basically scrap value, but building that machine today would cost more than building it when it was new.

You'd need to bootstrap a whole "old nodes" industry that does nothing but build obsolete machines to build obsolete chips once all the second/third/forth hand old node machines are gone.

In short: we've climbed the ladder and set it on fire behind us.

I wonder if this is a generational thing. If there's a decent app for a thing, I use the app¹. In this case Outlook. I have 4 email addresses to manage my personal email, throw-away registrations, website comms, and website SSL/admin.

I never access any email ever from a browser - Outlook is unbelievably good, and with the .PST file size restrictions no longer being restrictions I have my entire email archive of ever in it. Been doing things like this since 2002.

¹ Social media is the exception. Where I have multiple social media accounts (Instagram) I use seperate browsers (Edge for hobby account, Firefox for personal account). This is not ideal but the workflow is easy.
Diversity is always relevant in business, as business is a part of society, which itself is very much diverse.

"Basque chess - A chess competition in which the players simultaneously play each other two games on two boards, each playing White on one and Black on the other. There is a clock at both boards. It removes the bonus in mini-matches of playing White first. Basque chess was first played in the 2012 Donostia Chess Festival in the Basque Country, Spain. Also called Basque System." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chess

Caddy is getting more and more interesting every day. I've been long time Apache user since 1999 or something and I can (mostly) bend its configuration to my liking to do what I need so I've sat out this whole Nginx brouhaha because for my use cases it provides close to zero added value.

But Caddy just might've convinced me to install it on my server for pet projects and giving it a test drive.
I imagine this organization and similar orgs. It would be interesting to see if the new legislation has helped decrease the number of backover accidents.

This appears to be an example of technology solving a design flaw rather than rent-seeking capitalism.

> There are so many _symbols_ used in mathematics. It's all as if they're spells written by wizened greybeard wizards and passed down to apprentices throughout the centuries.

Think of it as jumping into a new codebase you have never worked with before. It is full of strange functions calling each other for unknown reasons. It takes a while to get a good intuition for why.

M/L could be written Field-extension(M, L). That might make it easier to Google what's going on, rather than having to pick up a group theory book. And indeed in this case it would be extra helpful, because M/L could also mean "quotient group" or even "division" depending on the type of the objects M and L. I personally prefer M:L for field extensions.

But Googling individual concepts is hardly a good way to learn group theory. So I don't think it matters too much. For anyone that spends enough time working in the given field, the notation is by far the easiest thing to figure out.

In general it is nice that mathematics - still being largely a handwritten endeavor - has the freedom to introduce new notation where it makes sense.
See https://mathoverflow.net/questions/42929/suggestions-for-goo... for cool examples of new notation improving the lives of everyone.

There is a difference between releasing the next Instagram UI update and doing the same to a car. A big part of safe driving is the familiarization of yourself with the vehicle. Who wants to relearn their car interface every 3 months?

Who needs Netflix or games on the center console of their daily driver? But yea, I supposes Tesla is betting hard on FSD making attention unnecessary and preemptively deals with driver boredom. Except FSD is no where near trustworthy especially with consideration to other drivers or - Go forbid - if you have family onboard.

Just put an 12" iPad Pro into the passenger compartment it doesn't matter at Tesla pricing range anyway, at least you get one high quality machine with your purchase then.

The opinion you are quoting is just the typical "not real socialism" stuff from people who don't want to admit that their ideology destroys everything it touches.

it's almost like our fav person Ayn Rand got that right [0]. Wat is pure science? It's little without a consciousness and there are a lot of perverse stimuli. For one, I found the requirement to publish (something "worthwhile", which is subjective) during my PhD so stupid. You can work hard and cleverly in science for 4 years yet only debunk stuff or not even find anything at all (but that by itself should be publishable!) or you can get lucky and publish a lot. All the publish-or-perish pressure does is force subpar stuff into the community. Like you two, I also got a bit disillusioned with non-applied science as we have it.

Edit: I don't want to say (like Ayn Rand, who can be pretty black and white) that it is all bad and we should do away with it, but it's something we should be very aware of and try to build in mechanisms to protect ourselves from these effects.

Maybe. Sowing confusion about the whereabouts of your warheads can be useful, and that was extensively considered.

See for example https://www.princeton.edu/~ota/disk3/1981/8116/811604.pdf, discussing the never implemented “multiple protective shelters” concept.

That even discusses how that can be done when treaties require inspections to be able to count your missiles.

The everyone can make it mentality can only work with a perpetually growing population and economy. Once the population is stagnating, you'll have to learn to share. Nobody wants to share.

One of the most amusing aspects of a capitalistic market is that it obviously does not engage in its most prominent activity namely the allocation of goods to those who need them most once you apply this principle to money and land.

Money goes to the rich through interest payments and land is usually sold because you are behind on your debt payments. This means money and land will always end up with those who need them the least. The fact that such an obvious principle was broken from the start does not instill confidence that rebooting "real capitalism"(the utopian fairy tale where everyone supposedly wins) will solve the problem.
So basically all things we think is shit on the internet will be on the road :(
It’s a long con by the computer scientists who can’t be bothered to constrain the domains of functions beyond int, even though we know square(x: int) -> square_int.

It might be lacking features to address some more specific use cases, but I mean from performance standpoint is their Vulkan renderer somehow not using hardware efficiently enough? That was basically my question.

Their long term goal is to compete with Unreal and the like, so I'd assume they aim for efficiency in general.
I used to live in a rural farming town for a few years. I'll be blunt. The people in the town were racist. Not everyone, but enough to make life extremely uncomfortable. And not the 'burn a cross on your lawn' kind of racist (well, mostly, some of the youth were precisely that kind of overt racist - I was called various racial slurs by drunk teenagers, and one time had them swerve their car to almost hit me), but the 'it takes five times as long to take my order at the diner as anyone else' or 'postal clerk keeps insisting on multiple forms of ID to hand over a package, despite not asking for any ID from anyone else who came up to the window' kind of racism. That's not pleasant to put up with daily nonstop.

This throwaway factoid in the article is supremely important: > small towns in north central and northwest Kansas are usually 90%+ white.

This kind of extreme homogeneity breeds racism and xenophobia.
