Exactly, not sure what OP is on about.

This Volvo like I said, is absolutely wonderful on the road, and the safety features it's got even in the base model are a godsend and make the car feel like it has a mind of its own, in a good way. It saved my butt from so many accidents that I never even noticed, it sees danger before it even happens, it's amazing.

So my point from the beginning was, if a car is capable of detecting/anticipating and dealing with danger at 100Kmh, it sure as hell should be able to prevent dumbass me from reversing into another car by mistake.
If you're in your 20s and experiencing this, perhaps.

If you're in your 50s and it's still a constant problem, quite possibly not.

Again, people aren't infinitely malleable, and don't all fit in standard packages.

Even seasoned stage performers often face crippling anxiety before performances late in their careers. Others take their own lives, often at a young age. Dick Cavett is among those who've suffered crippling depression and taken extended leaves due to it.
Where this goes wrong is assuming that research (i.e. the thing one does in grad school) is something that is anywhere near as amenable to "time management" as product development or engineering is.

The whole point of research is to push into the unknown. It's, in some sense, something that consists nearly only of unknowns and things you cannot really plan for. Sure, there's some general tricks like knowing when to take a step back, knowing when to abandon an endeavour that seems doomed, knowing when you've gone far enough, etc., but it's still nothing like where the author seems to be coming from.
Agreed. People choose technologies for their own reasons. The full spectrum is surviving and thriving:

An oversized motor will be slightly less efficient at low load, but only slightly (compared to an IC engine whose efficiency is strongly related to size).

An oversized battery, or oversized wiring, will generally be more efficient due to reduced resistive losses. Larger components (such as are designed to handle high power levels) have lower electrical resistance.

(Resistive heating power) = (current)^2 * (resistance)

I guess that's because Google largely won the "container wars", being the first to market with a reasonably complete feature set, brand reputation and resources for continued development, offerings by most cloud vendors and also a large dose of hype in the form of developer talks, demos, press releases/newsletters, tutorials, learning resources and i guess even certifications. Of course, that wasn't all just Google - once the hype around it started, numerous parties joined in, wanting recognition, relevant skills, or even to market their products that are built around supporting the complexity of Kubernetes.

Compare that to something like Apache Mesos, which, while initially promising, largely fell by the wayside and never really caught on: https://mesos.apache.org/

I agree with you, but this has nothing to do with the point I made. There was no claim as to any “true” nature of WW2 or British imperialism. What I stated was that a large chunk current Britons perceive themselves as having stood up to Hitler and defended freedom for all. Whether this is true or not does not matter with respect to either my joke or perplexity over the fact that authoritarianism is present in UK society to a larger degree than I am comfortable with. If anything, your response is in support of what I stated.
I expected you to have submitted around 100 links without any of them getting traction, but you have submitted three, and complaining that none of them hit the frontpage? HN might be a small place compared to many other social media, but it's not that small, countless of links are submitted every day, and yes, it's not simple to get a story to the frontpage but it's not that hard if it's interesting either. It also depends on what sources you're submitting from, that could have something to do with it, as the submission you've done are not from "popular" domains, so people won't even give them a chance (specifically, I think techcrunch is penalized automatically as they usually have very poor articles).

According to my profile page, I've made almost 200 submissions since Sept 2019, with many of them ending up on the frontpage. Even if the "success" (I wouldn't call hitting the frontpage success even) rate is low, even ending up on the second or third page sometimes yield interesting discussions, which is my main goal with doing submissions to HN in the first place.

> One interesting enhancement that would help with that and that also addresses the problem of duplicates is to simply count duplicate link submissions as an upvote on the original. Most popular links have numerous duplicates before and after that did not make it. Some links actually make it to the front page multiple times.

This already happens. I'm not sure what the threshold in time is, but sometimes I make a submissions and it takes me automatically to a story that is a few days old and adds a upvote to it.

> What distro package manager is allowing me to give a project newbie a single command to hit the ground running across all platforms

Nix (it's the "distro package manager" of NixOS, but runs happily on any Linux distro, without even needing root permissions; it's also supported on macOS. I've seen references to other Unix systems like BSD, for WSL, and possibly other OSes, but they aren't officially supported).

In fact, we don't even use "a single command"; our projects have .envrc files for direnv (which has Nix support out-of-the-box), so our shells automatically enter/exit a (reproducible) development environment just based on their current working directory.

> "docker-compose up"

I wasn't aware that Docker was cross platform? I thought it used Linux containers, which requires running a VM on macOS, etc. (e.g. that's what applications like "Docker Desktop" do in the background). Apparently it also supports "Windows containers" now, but those aren't even compatible with the Linux ones!

> What distro package manager is allowing me to have several different platforms that can just grab a GitHub repo link and deploy it viola?

Nix does this with a built-in function called `fetchGit` (there are also specialised functions like `fetchFromGitHub` and `fetchFromGitLab` which download the tar.gz of a given commit, rather than checking-out the repo).

"Deployment" varies, depending on what you want; e.g. it could be a simple 'nix-copy-closure' (to a physical machine, a running VM, etc.), it could be making a container image (with a call to `ociTools.buildImage`, `dockerTools.buildImage`, etc.), or a VM image (VirtualBox, libvirt or Xen). NixOps and Disnix can orchestrate and deploy those, but I've not tried them (we use AWS ECR and CloudFormation).

While I'm not absolute on the notion that 5 letters is perfect, I found the current game lives on quite a precarious balance; There is a Japanese version with around 65 possible letters, and the secret word being 4 letters, but this turns out to be significantly harder, with the game rules adjusted accordingly to allow up to 12 tries. Despite being able to play it in my mother tongue, I found it less fun. Tweaking the formula (even in English) will likely require lot of thought into re-balancing.

This makes no sense. So you value your security but then choose to go with a less secure operating system?

You can easily install all your games on another user on your linux box and run as that user. Super easy and it won't have access to any of your main home directory files. In fact with this configuration it's a lot easier to ensure that the games are sandboxed away from anything important.

In contrast on Windows most games run as Admin or at some point ask for admin privileges.

Running games on Linux is not about security or time savings. It's about control. It's about being able to sit down and play your game without Windows having a hissy fit about Windows updates. It's about being able to just play without worrying that some bad patch from Microsoft will hose your entire setup. And it's about finally wrestling control over gaming away from a company that cares more about taking your money than actually letting you play games you already have.

And the more people we get running Linux for gaming the better everyone will be better off for it.
Congrats Intel, failure to play nice with community granted you a more up to date community fork.

Now let's play the internal discussion at Intel:

Developer: i don't know now.... Invest tons of time/money into hyperscan, have new chips that tap hyperscan natively, or re merge the fork?

Noise figure is a property of receivers, not sources. Signal generators don't have noise figures.

The MAX2870 synthesizer chip used in the project has pretty good phase noise specifications. I don't see any broadband noise above the background in the SDR trace shown in the article. The second harmonic is more than 30 dB down which is not bad at all. The only thing not looking that great is the spur close to 400 MHz.

Mostly the same here, but I also realize HN is such a tiny slice of the public that sometimes you get a opinion it feels like is generally agreed upon because every single HN user subscribes to that idea, but when you come out in the afk world it turns out most people just don't give a shit about it.
As someone with a child the same age, I see it very differenly.

The way I explain it is that traffic lights, roads, crossings, etc, are a mechanism by which society co-operates. Everyone's trying to do something a little different, and if we work together and buy into a shared understanding then we can all do what we want to do. That's a really positive thing. We can all get on with what we need to without resorting to ideology which isn't relevant to the task at hand.

Also, I think it's important for children to learn about everything around them, to see how the world works. It's irresponsible to leave a black hole of knowledge. Especially for things that can be dangerous. Mine knows all about volcanoes, dinosaurs, power tools, chisels, hammers, etc. And he's learned how to interact with at least some of those safely.

Otherwise it's quite literally learned helplessness!

I run an e-commerce site, we built it all from scratch (custom catalog, basket, checkout, order processing, the lot) starting back in 2012. We considered various platforms at the time and decided nothing fit what we wanted. It’s both a blessing and a curse, the flexibility to customise everything is brilliant. But the maintenance is an additional burden.

If I was starting again now I would probably use shopify and heavily customise it with our own extensions. It would allow you to concentrate on your core business rather than solve problems someone else has before.

> Nobody has ever addressed my question

Ok, I will try. I have to admit I do not fully understand what you are asking.

As noted in the link at the top, it is reasonable to speculate that these filaments are related to the activity of the galactic centre supermassive black hole. However, we do not have a quasar in our galaxy, and it is hard to imagine (consistent with evidence from this and similar galaxies at various cosmological redshifts) that the Milky Way possessed an active galactic centre which
subsequently was quenched. Indeed, part of the mystery here is that there is a quite weak magnetic field permeating the galactic centre, and little outward cosmic ray pressure.

The spectral index (more details at https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.10552 §3.1, "nonthermal radio filaments that have broad spectral index distribution as well as the steepest spectral index that can readily be discerned at high latitudes", cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_index although neither link is especially friendly to non-experts) is entirely consistent with synchrotron radiation, which does not require any exotic particles at the filamentary sources of the radio emissions. As discussed in §3.2 of the arxiv preprint, all we need is highly accelerated electrons. The mechanism for accelerating the electrons is unknown, but there are several explanations available that do not require exotic particles. §4.3 discusses several plausible alternatives.

I'm no expert on anyons but I do know how Wilczek described them when he first proposed them, and Keilmann's observations of his humour, and I struggle to see what problems introducing anyons might reasonably solve at these bulk scales. Additionally, I do not see how anyonic behaviour -- rather than straightforward magnetobremsstrahlung -- could be relevant, much less a better description, at the warm temperatures in the environments of these filaments and galactic centre molecular clouds.

Unfortunately, I don't understand your second last paragraph at all.

> you also might be in the minority here

I'd be astounded if I'm not. The tech industry is ridiculously cargo-culty. I never said I expect the majority of people to agree with me, I said what I prefer.

The majority of people probably think McDonalds is just fine, and that Google is "not so bad" too, and it doesn't bother me that other people disagree with my opinion.

If you ask me to fix your fucked infra because someone threw together a Rube Goldberg like Kubernetes environment just to achieve rolling deployments of their application, I'm going to tell you it's a shit solution, just as if you asked me to critique a McDonalds hamburger I'm going to tell you it's a shit hamburger. Me saying it's shit doesn't mean you can't use the thing, it means my opinion is that there are better ways to solve the problem/achieve the desired outcome, and you can either accept that opinion and make a change, or disagree and I'll go provide my services to another client. It's really that simple.

> thousands of collective man years put into making them better

They've had a ridiculous large number of man years working on them, no question.

The whole point is that we disagree about whether they're "better" or not. Adding complexity is not necessarily making something better.

> i would still take a collection of containers over the nightmare of 10 different webapps all being deployed in an instance of GlassFish/Tomcat

In... a decade and a half of doing this I think I've been asked to support one JVM based thing, and that was quite a while ago. I'm sure it is a shit show, but I'm also sure that there are better alternatives than 8 more layers of abstraction.

Lightweight VM-like containers are literally a thing that exists, and can give essentially the same provisioning as a traditional VM, with the "lightweight" / "shared resources" aspect of a container solution.
>what if they're like the exhaust trails of an FTL vehicle

That would be rather depressing, if true. There's only a couple strands, so it would seem that FTL travel is very very rare. Among the 100 billion stars in our galaxy, only a handful have used FTL travel in the last 25,000 years?
