> Speak for yourself. Also consider that an estimated 9% of all Canadians live abroad

I was speaking for myself, as I see it, as are you. Note that I was one of the 9% living abroad for ~3 years.

> the docile Canadian mentality

I rather disagree with this supposed generalization

> moving away is [..] a better individual choice

Yes, for those who are more professionally desirable (doctors, tech, other professionals as you mention), moving to the US in particular is the "better individual choice", in that you can earn a better living. I certainly could, but I prefer to live here with my fellow docile Canadians.
Do many people in the meetings comment about the functional programming feature of rust? That to me is one of the greatest benefits as functional patterns are (at least were) harder in C++ and were definitely less common (which makes code harder for others to understand).

In your sample of C++ people, is there much interest in functional programming?
We're in the context of such unforeseen interaction.(Ironic, isn't it)
US government actions are probably also to blame for the cases in Afghanistan & Pakistan. The CIA setup a fake vaccination clinic in their effort to catch Bin Laden [1].

Another factor is just that eradicating polio with the current vaccines is hard. The oral vaccine mutates in around one in a million cases to become effectively wild polio (some years this accounts for most of the polio cases). The fully inactivated injected version is non-sterilizing: it prevents poliomyelitis but still allows for gut infection: eradicating the disease but not the virus.

It's mainly the economics of "If you don't ship on steam, you miss out on the steam market" imo
I think your numbers are completely baseless. And "good government" is elsewhere.
20th century history ought to teach us that too much power in government almost invariably leads to mass murder of some group or another: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_and_anthropogenic...

Given that modern technology enables silencing political opposition without necessarily murdering them, some might argue that we'll see fewer murders in the future.

But China is a good counter-argument to that assertion. It's very technologically advanced, yet its totalitarian regime is continuing to commit atrocities (murders, work camps, prison sentences without due process, etc.) against Uyghurs.
I dislike Twitter but I am glad it exists. More spaces need to exist on the Internet.
Awesome summary. Major squick for some.

There’s zero evidence in your anecdote to suggest anything other than a coincidence. You’re basically just arbitrarily choosing to believe it wasn’t.
I said around the time of Shakespeare, not exclusively Shakespeare (which is essentially poetry). Perhaps “King James Bible” would be a better example. I don’t think it’s that ludicrous, since English hasn’t really changed that much notwithstanding vocabulary and some spelling.
Correct. We are not allowed any command line access to worker nodes or containers. If it isn't deployed using automation, it isn't deployed.
Podman has been one of my favorite opensource projects in the most recent years. I have been using it since 1.x and it keeps getting better and better. It is one of the tools that makes me not totally hate containers and I use it all over the place. :)

At my last job we used Fedora CoreOS with Podman + systemd (I did a talk about it at Fedora Contributor Conference [1]) and I released self hosted installer that ships a Ruby application inside of a Podman pod. You can check out the systemd units here [2]. Using systemd gets you all the dependency management so your App's services start in the right order which is pretty great!

One of the cool things that I love about Podman is running everything inside A Podman pod. You get your own network namespace so you can launch a bunch of services on the same host without cluttering up your host's localhost. Here is a script I use to run Owncast on a Fedora Server [3]. I also have an script I gave my old coworker to launch all of his apps dependencies inside a podman pod [4].

If you are thinking about giving Podman a shot, check out the links and hopefully that can help you get started with or without systemd.

Testing Out the New Pipedream to Get Trance Releases
Man the first time I surfed the web it was crazy information overload. I had to nope out and walk away.

I think I just feel let down by people the number of people I looked up to being publically hateful. People that are too smart to think that it is ok. I just don't understand how they got there.

Yeah it's a royal mess right now unfortunately. It kind of seems like most of the work on docker's developer experience stopped in the last few years as the company went through turmoil and different ownership changes. Hopefully some day they sit down and really clarify what the 'golden path' is for a developer using docker today. Buildkit is really cool and can do a lot of nifty things once all these new features are enabled.
I've had the battery drain issues too, and it sucks bad. That said I remember seeing a fix a little while ago and I haven't had any issues recently. I run Fedora 35 though so my kernel stays pretty new. On Ubuntu you're gonna be stuck on an older kernel unless you install the newer one.
Sure, but I think there's some leeway there.

If I claim that if you burn $1M it'll rain for a year, it's falsifiable, but we don't really need to test it. The burden would be on me to demonstrate scientifically how this hypothesis has any merit before it's reasonable to test it.
You need job descriptions at every stage in your software career
Useful for visual odometry?
Again, not interested. My openly identified opinion on the usefulness and ultimate fate of the language makes no difference. The number of people who have used the language doesn't, either. Anyone not interested in my opinion is welcome to their own. Even you.

Either my actual question has meaningful answers, or it doesn't. Thus far it seems the answer is "none"; that would be the least surprising answer. And the evidence thus far suggests you would like to distract us from that fact, if fact it is.
By this reasoning why supply integer and 64 bit float since they don't cover all requirements and could instead be encoded in strings or blobs just like dates? Why have strings too, just have a binary type?

A date/time data type is very practical even if it doesn't cover all use cases which is why almost all relational database engines have one or more. I suggest something that supports ISO 8601 encoded efficiently similar to SQL Server datetimeoffset which requires 10 bytes for maximum precision.

JSON is also very annoying for not having a date/time type as well!
Thanks so much for this. 2 years at that insert speed only being about 1TB of data is fantastic.

I've also had many discussions on backups (Barman, backrest, Wal-E/G) etc and always feel like I have to look it up afresh every time to get myself back up to speed on which one I should be using.
I wonder what kind of rocket fuel. I'm guessing they wouldn't be cooking MMT in there.

The real question is, what's up with the toilet next to that couch?
> I guess it's just natural for canadians to have this weird smug inferiority complex towards the US

There was an article in the Montreal Gazette this January that was very earnest, but if you read it with a critical outside perspective, it's absolutely ludicrous:

https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/josh-freed-flori...

So this guy fled Quebec's corona restrictions for a vacation in Florida, and describes this experience while constantly complaining how Floridians are ignoring corona, and putting in a bunch of digs at the US healthcare system.

But at the same time, why did he go to Florida if everything is so terrible there? And if Canada's healthcare is so great, why was his pre-departure corona test that he needed to take before being let back in to Canada, free and easy to get in Florida? And why was the post-arrival test he needed to do in Quebec, expensive and hard to get?

The amount of Stockholm syndrome and "Canadian apologetics" is completely off-the-charts. I simply cannot understand how you can write an article like this in the first place, it's absolutely deranged.

(The height of irony, of course, is that at the time of the article's publishing, the daily death rate in Quebec was twice as high as the one in Florida.)
It’s likely that different beaches have different sized asses. The ones in the U.S. are off the scale.
there are developers who are just happy to write the same logic in multiple languages, and there are those who find it extremely mind-boggling, this is regardless of how nice/easy to learn those languages are.
> and it's something you must tolerate to have a democracy.

It's not for 21 days straight at noise levels capable of permanent hearing damage. It's really not.
I am really excited about this laptop but I'm reading reviews like this a lot more now that they are delivering.

Their community forum has a lot of users asking for solutions for the problems you mentioned and even Linux compatibility issues.

I really hope they fix these issues too. A friend made a joke, which I find hilarious: "you can always replace all the parts that are failing, isn't that the point?".
> Otherwise you might be a bad parent.

This is not helpful either. You could have said what you thought without implying someone is a bad parent (in the same way that nobody should have implied that you are a pedophile).
A Brief Update on Russia and Ukraine
All that I ask is that everyone is consistent: if OWS is a protest, then this is too.

I have no idea why whether this event is a protest or not is considered the key question. Both movements could be protests and still be diametrically opposed in aims, approaches and broad political direction.

Protests often go beyond the legal bounds of free speech. Yeah. But obviously go far enough beyond legal bounds and you may find yourself in jail. And if you've done that in a fashion that's mostly oriented to harming the average person, then you may well deserve to be in jail by a strong concensus. But sure, you're still protesting.

Edit: A simple way to put that occurs to me is, sure, "people on the left support some protests that break some laws for some causes they consider important". But that doesn't mean they would or anyone would support "any protest that breaks any law for anything the protesters consider important"
Well, it could enable a few things:

- Fetching the latest updates from a network of your peers selectively, a bit like RSS feeds

- Merging histories from your peer network into a linear format (straightforward since there shouldn't be any merge conflicts between empty commits)

- Construction of branches arranged by topic by cherry-picking relevant commits

- Bisection of content would be available in order to navigate conversation history

Also it'd federate fairly naturally, and is quite network-safe because it'd only require the presence of hosted git repositories (in other words: few network services and installation dependencies required).

Only an idea - wrangling and herding the commits could be the tricky part, in practice (the per-topic branches in particular are a half-baked idea).
Russia has a tremendous air advantage if they were to invade, and NATO can't help without sparking a major conflict. The HQ of their Naval Force was already taken with Crimea and the Navy itself is very small; there's also a good bit of Russian apologists in Ukraine especially in the East that would probably make moving close to the Capitol fairly easy. From Belarus it's essentially a straight shot to Kiev. I hope you're right, but Putin seems to have indicated he wants it all. I think it might start in the East but spread.
It should not obfuscate the happy path.

In rust, propagating an error up is as easy as adding a '?' after the function call.

fn read() -> Result<String, io::Error> {
let f = File::open("hello.txt")?; // propgate up?
let s = f.read_to_string(&mut s)?; // propgate up?
Ok(s)
}
Phishing with an in-browser remote desktop
Yeah that one I really really confuses me.
Is that really surprising? Even a simple GUI is not that simple these days.

This was reinforced recently when an incredibly good software engineer I knew recently got stuck with a problem. It ended up being a networking problem but his understanding of anything deeper than basic DNS settings was approximately zero. I was actually amazed given I assumed from his other knowledge that he would have a similar understanding of deep network concepts.

I think this happens just as much in companies. Yes, they may have 100s of insanely good graphic programmers who can do crazy low level stuff with shaders on GPUs, but do you know how to build a set of scalable and extendable web services to power a GUI app, with localisation, payment methods, 2FA, etc. I have seen some absolutely insane APIs written by game devs before, basically reinventing the wheel to pull a news feed in.
>Parsons - like many politicians - sees situations exclusively as status and power plays. So when someone with low status says "This is broken", of course he goes on the attack.

These are the absolute last people we should ever want in charge of anything
> The mac-book killer was very much hyperbole from paid reviewers.

Just because people have a different opinion than you doesn't mean they are hyperbolic paid reviewers. I love the trackpad, although I did have a minor issue out of the box where I had to click kind of hard toward the bottom center to get it to start working. I expect those things will go away as they get better. It's gotta be damn hard to put together such a complex hardware product.
Thanks. I've been so curious about this - the news gives the opposite impression. I haven't been able to find any news media about ongoing legal protests in Ottawa (ie today/yesterday/Sunday). Do you know of any?

Show HN: Life You Deserve – fun activities to 55 in the UK
Life You Deserve brings fun activities to 55+ in the UK.

I feel that over 55s have been a bit neglected, especially lately during pandemic times. I want to change that.

Their generation have been working hard and looking after their loved ones for many years. It’s time for them to have some time for themselves and enjoy plenty of hand-picked activities on Life You Deserve website — they deserve it.

The aim of the project is to help ageing population keep active and improve their health and wellbeing.

Would love to hear you feedback!
Is this just an American thing? I don't think tech companies can fire like this in Europe. I have 100% worked in companies that used PIP processes which had nothing to do with firing staff.
I thought they were deploying tactical nuke launchers on position or something, I don't believe they'd ever use them though.
Succinctly put, Gell-Mann amnesia is the best reason to scale back on news.

Everyone has their bailiwick of expertise. Mine happens to be northeast Asian matters, having lived there decades after growing up in the US, speaking and reading the three main languages (albeit to different degrees of proficiency), and teaching university Asian history classes, half in English, half in the local language.

The problem is that only very, very rarely did I ever read or hear something in the English-language news about China, Japan, or Korea that I found enlightening or even mostly fair. It was all superficial pablum, often highly misleading.

So, I can only conclude the same might be said for other topics about which I am generally clueless.
Yes? I have an unfortunate, strange, condition where I can get extremely warm/hot just by thinking about something exciting or novel. This isn't "turning red", as there are no external changes. I can sit down to listen to music, close my eyes, and think up some tolkien-esque battle to go with the music and instantly jump a perceived 20+ degrees and yet register no change on a thermometer. I'm guessing it's my brain triggering some kind of adrenal reaction.

In this state (which lasts 5-15 minutes), I can go outside shirtless in 23F weather (sub-freezing) and it feels like a balmy 70F. My outer senses don't go numb, but I have the odd experience of not experiencing cold. It's almost as if my sense of touch is overloaded in these moments. I don't feel any numbness, but I don't really feel anything at all. It's like my brain stops caring about the sense of touch or temperature and I feel everything in a very dull, flat way -- the dial turned to 1. Incredibly cold things like touching and handling a block of ice feel like room temperature. I also don't get red or have any symptoms you'd associate with the exposure to the cold.

I'm probably dying of something rare and don't know it as it comes on with any overly stressful or exciting experience. It makes intimacy interesting -- "baby I'm on fire".
It might help if we didn't have the least competent people possible in positions of power
My reading implied that they weren't able to use the apple hardware acceleration for AI, which given the massive perf delta I suspect the A100 is using. If they weren't using the A100's ML hardware I'd be both amazed by Nvidia's engineers, and also unhappy as it would be unfair for the test to not use the features of the hardware (this is a common refrain in some benchmarking circles where you disable features to get "fairness" in comparisons).

Honestly though I'm more concerned about the other aspects of apple's software: "The OSX Window Server crashes when all GPUs are used to the maximum"
Having been around OWS: I cannot recall a single time when NYC’s municipal functions and/or the activities of ordinary citizens were affected by the protests. The OWS protests were famously contained to a few small blocks, in a non-residential area, and constituted more of a “live-in.”
I interpreted your phrase and using the word “will” as, “will always happen” and not “can’t be rolled back if the government does start abusing it”, but I understand what your saying now.

I think I generally agree but I’m this instance it didn’t look the Canadian federal government really overreached. I think it might have been a better look if they had gone after the police chief first who was refusing to enforce the law, and try and get local government to do the enforcement but after three weeks in a residential area I can see how leadership would be concerned about escalation
SingleFile and SingleFileZ are great!

It’s a shame with manifest v3 that it will hamstring the size of pages that can be saved (to 43mb if I remember on the SingleFileLite GitHub page).
I'm skeptical too, but the CDC seems to be reporting similar findings for the 2020-2021 flu season: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2020-2021.htm
If you want to release a game for the PC not via Steam, you are free to do so.

You cannot release an app for iOS absent iOS app store.

That's the problem. Apples becomes the gatekeeper instead of your own technical prowess
Good question. We have been doing this for almost 2 years now and we still find new players almost every week! It's a bit of a wild west for sure.

I can't say what we do different from everyone, but a few things that we focus on:
* Speed: we train models based on DL in seconds. So you get real-time feedback on your model/data as you annotate and upload more. This is true for a few, but far from all of our competitors. In our benchmarking we find that we still perform on par with the competition (at least in the "low-data" regime https://www.nyckel.com/blog/automl-benchmark-nyckel-google-h...)
* Level of abstraction: Many competitors expose some ML knobs for their users thinking it will improve the experience. We found that this induces "ML anxiety" for many. As a result we have zero knobs. Just focus on your data, we do the rest.
* API: we have spend a ton of time developing clean API abstractions. Some competitors have great APIs, other don't.
* Cost: we are super cheap. Our lowest tier if $50. We don't charge for training or per function/model.
We've seen lots of articles about the technical details of setting up a mail server (software to use, how to configure it, etc.)

Can you suggest any article that talk about "checking common greylists" and other steps admins should take when their email is failing?

One of my tenets is that it's fairly easy to learn to do anything, but expertise comes from knowing how to fix things when they go wrong, which is harder to come by.

I can see how to setup the email server, but the stuff you're talking about is just dead goat voodoo.
There's also yesterday's TV address, which is in a similar vein, but more aggressive:

An annotated version would be interesting. TL;DR is that it's a mix of truths, omissions, and lies. He's not wrong that some of the modern borders of Ukraine are a Soviet creation, for example, but completely ignores the fact that it was already in the process of establishing itself as an independent country before the Bolsheviks (as the Ukrainian People's Republic).

Speaking more broadly, one needs to get into fairly ancient history to make sense of various territorial disputes between Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland, and how it all contributed to ethnogenesis of Ukrainians. In particular, look into Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
It is easy to sell your Monero for fiat anonymously using a service like localmonero.co
There is also a growing parallel economy where you can buy goods and services directly with your Monero and avoid selling anything for fiat. For example, I have bought domain names using XMR on nja.la.
I hadn't seen anyone say they should "escape the draconian regulations". Non-Tesla's are perfectly capable of rolling stops. I'm assuming a cop can and will still write tickets for this. Not stopping at a stop sign is on the driver whether it's a Tesla or not.
Wow, this is basically a description of the Apple App Store.
I mean, are you arguing Facebook has an obligation to somehow support every single business model that is using their services? Why would this company’s content deserve more newsfeed exposure than other genres?
How do you research the ethos of products you buy? All of them or just selected ones?
The thing about trying to follow the news, rather than following news coverage, is that correcting for bias requires:

1. Reading/viewing multiple source, from different countries.

2. Reading against the text, using claims from one biased source to contrarily interpret another source, but also holding those claims in suspicion, allowing for the second source to potentially disprove or at least recast what the first source wanted you to know.

3. Watching for things like subtext, timing of stories, _absence_ of coverage, distribution of sources etc.

4. Often, reading languages other than the one you're most fluent in - at least to some extent.

5. Getting used to the most significant and controversial stories being a mess of not just conflicting coverage, but personal and collective accusations which are often at least half-true even if they are a distraction, having to live with how some authors combine conspiracy-theorism or zealotry on some points with decent journalistic work on others...

---

Bottom line: It's frustrating, it's time consuming, it draws you away from your social surrounding who either know nothing about things or are repeating shallow slogans they heard in some mainstream news show.
yeah, you could also say the performance is only 57% in this particular test for the M1 vs A100. Still not bad for a laptop though with a first gen chip.
