Thanks for your comment.

I kind of feel like you and I are talking past each other a bit. (And the fact that I don't know any of the technical terminology doesn't help me at all, here.)

I want this Host program she's talking about to be trivial to install for some random end user. And then that user can pick my App from some App Store interface, similar to the Demo in sandstorm.io, and then add Contacts, and then give my App permission to talk to some of their Contacts.

So, the Host program is super sandboxed, and capability-model based...

And I'm also asking for the Contact Management DNS Connectivity system, which I imagine feels roughly like setting up a public/private key pair with PGP, and then feels roughly like setting up a Dynamic DNS.

I don't actually care about specific ports, and how they're actually encrypted, etc. It could connect over WebRTC for all I care. Yes, TLS might work. I hear NAT traversal is a problem to connect peer-to-peer, and I barely know what I'm talking about. I want the Host / DNS / some minimal central servers to take care of that for me.

I feel like the DB interfaces are slightly higher level than the stream level access she was talking about, and would make it slightly easier to do some of the cool stuff I envision. But I feel like providing DB Capabilities is a pretty low bar - it should be relatively easy to do, right?
Nothing recent appears on https://torrentfreak.com/?s=piratebay , site appears fine. I'm not sure where this mysterious shade-casting comes from?

BitTorrent has proven itself quite robust & resilient since the DHT & magnet links were introduced. Projects like Tribler[1][2] have been the leading edge of technology, working to create better fairness, to beget p2p search technologies, to allow p2p live streaming, all based around BitTorrent fundamentals. There's still very little technology like it, that could conceivably replace it.

Hello,

My name is Andre Misdary. I am a former investment analyst who is transitioning to software development. I've recently completed a computer science bridge program at New York University and have completed some personal project work in Python to supplement my self-learning. I would love the chance to work and learn with your company while beginning my journey and continuing to grow as a software engineer.

Please get back to me if you believe I can be an asset to your team.

Best,
Andre
That's an error.

The state department is not the same as the president. The previous president did not have a significant degree of control over the state department or any facet of the federal bureaucracy, in all reality.
They're Russian nationals acting like barbarians. I don't see the problem sorry.
I've been using Streamlit for roughly half a year to build various dashboards and GUIs for custom analysis scripts and I am honestly neither surprised that they were acquired nor by the price tag.

Our data is quite complicated and needs a lot of custom code & filtering. Even relatively simple analytical questions need some custom code, if people don't want to do almost everything manually (i.e.: Origin, Export to Excel, crop and move around data...).

Over the years I built up libraries and functions for some of these tasks and with Streamlit I can just slap a sufficiently nice interactive GUI on top in 1-2 hours and iterate the analysis live during a call (give them the URL and ask what additional filters, visualizations they would need, adapt the code in the background and they see the results instantly).

Overall, congratulations - well earned.
Also, I considered applying for a position there and regret not doing so.
It’s not that big of a deal.

1. Collect new data

2. Clean data

3. Annotate

4. Train models and store versions

5. Analyze errors/model metrics (and re-train as need be)

6. Deploy model/s

7. Monitor

8. Repeat steps 1 - 7

Yes, there are many tools that can help with each the above. Use whatever suits to automate it and make your job easier.
People argue about whether remote work is 'productive' but is 'productive' all we really care about? I understand this is Hacker News so productive is the guiding principle but what about community, friendship? Doesn't working remotely just force us more into our little bubbles? Especially for engineers I think it just reinforces natural tendencies and won't lead to the same sort of growth over time? There is an aspect of getting better socially as you age (hopefully) for example.
The Amazon store has local books on display, especially in the kids section (eg one on the space needle). It isn’t as good as the Barnes and Noble that used to be in the same shopping center, but to be honest the nicest thing about those were the cafes.

I actually burned myself out on books a long time ago. Very few deliver what they seem to offer on the shelf or website. Papers (individual publications curated via peer review) offer more for technical topics, and there is a lot of fiction online that is way more enticing (and…those that don’t work can be dropped after a few pages without being any poorer).
Could you explain why a big sale just before closing is an indicator of fraud? I don't understand.
Sure, but in that case, they also have information about whether I've returned the TV or not. If I haven't, it doesn't make nearly as much sense to keep recommending me TVs. Even if your ML algorithm thinks I'm going to return it, it still seems like you'd do better on a percentage basis to keep showing me sound bars, HDMI cables, and other accessories. After all, I bought a TV because I intended to buy a TV. That means I'm probably going to need some of those things to go with it, likely with far greater than 10-15% probability.

I suppose there's a possibility that your ML algorithm could decide that the profit from selling a TV so greatly exceeds that of the accessories that a 10-15% probability of preserving the sale in case of a return might be more worth it, but I don't really know the ins and outs of retail ecommerce to make a judgement there. It still just seems silly to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No. They are not at war "in all but name". War is a brutal thing, involving the deaths of thousands of young men. The EU is not by any stretch at war with Russia, nominally or otherwise.

The entire point of a free country is that people can handle the information. If not, why even bother?
Registration forms in Japan are definitely worse than anywhere else on earth. Strict text length limits (last name can’t fit in 4 characters? Sucks for you), randomly flip flopping between characters being full width and half width, having to enter your foreign name only in kanji and wondering whether it’ll accept katakana, full width letters, or hiragana instead (and it only ever accepts one of those and you’ll never know which), data being lost when it inevitably fails to accept your input. It’s hell.
I've implemented IAP -- and it is eons better than the 8 calls it takes to do any of this in Stripe. By the time you get done writing and handling the numerous API calls, errors, checks, etc for this, you've basically built the cron without storing the card information and having to do full PCI of your own gateway, which is exactly what Stripe offers as their service, everything else is window dressing.

I say this, still about to use it in production. It upsets me that the amount of work I have to put in to getting Billing working doesn't seem to justify a percentage price. A set fee, sure. Riding along with my services' value? No.
Google Maps was the first widespread use of Ajax outside Microsoft, and its near-realtime interactivity blew people away. Prior to that, few developers believed this level of interactivity was possible. After Google Maps, everybody learned Ajax and a thousand interactive flowers bloomed.
Some parallels with simpler games like blackjack. There are hands that can't ever be won (dealer has 21). And then there's hands that can only be won with bizarre play, like hitting on 19 to draw a 2 when dealer has 20.
CCP is at least sane and thinks long-term. They don't want nuclear war, at least. I'd honestly feel relieved if Xi were pulling Putin's puppet strings at this point.
This just gave me the completely random idea... (as someone whose parents used to have tons of ClarisWorks docs)... build OCR into the emulator. :)
White space and pop ups aren’t part of design? That’s a very strict definition. Design is also merely a function of market dynamics, hence why it changes with trends and not to improve function.
I was also reminded of Java when it delved into "you don't even know you have a file, it's just a stream". The stream abstraction of course predates Java. But Java is where (IMO) developers really started embracing programming to these kinds of abstract interfaces en masse.
The languages compete on whatever people decide to use them for.

People also use JavaScript, Python and Ruby for use cases that ask for AOT compiled languages

Thankfully no one is going to jail for using a language where it doesn't belong.
Moving your legs might not be for everyone!
Who do you think is supplying Ukraine with the weapons that are causing half these deaths? Who is feeding them real-time intelligence? The Russian economy is crippled by EU sanctions. Their foreign reserves are frozen. Russian planes cannot fly into EU airspace. Russian oligarchs are having their assets seized across Europe. Diplomats are being expelled on both sides.

These are not the actions between neutral, peaceful countries, but a full-fledged proxy war.
Yeah, but he applied for remote work when he was still pretty new. I don't remember exactly when, but only a few months in.
"It also seems extremely uncontroversial that sending data for a single item is going to require less text generation than sending over that data + the entire page."

And yet... so many SPAs feel so much slower than MPAs. They suck down MBs of JavaScript, constantly poll for more JSON and consume crazy amounts of CPU any time they need to update the page.

If you're on an expensive laptop you may not notice, but most of the world sees the internet through a cheap, CPU and bandwidth constrained Android phone. And SPAs on those are just miserable.
I was going to reply to the parent comment but found yours and just wanted to say 100x this! Thank you for capturing it so simply and concisely.
I have a 27 4k LG display and it has GUI scaling set to 200% (so smooth fonts and images, but readable text) and there is plenty of real estate.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=urbandiction...
Intuitive? I'm not sure. Its still got a learning curve. When you say "inspired by modern browser's dev tools" and given the HN audience I was expecting something that didn't hide the actual HTML as much. For example the element picker in browser's dev tools will show the tag name as the title when you hover over an element vs you abstracting it away to things like "Text" which then have a "Text tag" which has you select a human readable definition of the tag.

Is this dev tools inspired or Wix inspired? It feels more like Wix than dev tools.

Is any of that bad? Maybe not but its what I (because of my background) was expecting; something closer to HTML because there isn't an onboarding story and dev tools was mentioned. I think you need an integrated tutorial as part of the initial experience. Either tutorial overlays or maybe replacing the lipsum with instructional text, something.

The publish site feature, its not well explained what that does. I think some users would expect a site builder tool to be able to provide a zip or even sftp the pages somewhere. I think the only option here is to host with your service but it should be spelled out. Again, probably related to having the editor as a starting point with no on-boarding.

It seems like a slick tool. Basic page editing doesn't seem challenging. I think to really test it would require that the tester build some complex sites with the tool. Consider paying for testers to do that along with post-build interviews. It might help identify workflow issues. If you have some free users building complex pages maybe just offer them a free upgrade if they'll let you pick their brain on a zoom session.
>....taking advantage of the supposed benefits of SPAs: there are no snazzy animations between states....

If that's the main benefit, let's hear it for MPAs. I want a website that's fast, responsive, clicky, sharp and to the point - not some soft-focus pastel cartoon movie. As the author says, that's fine for audio/video sites (and reasonable for other entertainment-focussed sites) - for information sites it just gets in the way (animated elements - especially persistent ones - are a terrible idea when trying to concentrate on textual content).
AWS has SageMaker Pipelines, which you can spin up into a default MLOps setup through the SageMaker Studio -> Projects -> Default Projects(?) flow. It's a bunch of stuff effectively vended through Service Catalog, so you're free to modify and inspect it all.
I don't hide behind nicks, my online life is relatively easy to find, and besides the tone should have started in a different way than "You clearly have no idea what Rust is for".
Yeah these muscles get tired pretty quickly. Congratulations!
I can only second that, and it's only getting better over time. It used to be quite fiddly if you wanted to work on the String rather than the byte level, but that has improved a lot.

I've written 4(?) different parsers with different major versions of nom, and each has been easier than the previous one.

The main thing I'd like to see improved related to it would be `cookie-factory`, its basically symetric serialization library.

Discussion on meditation induced psychosis and some a bit more metadiscussion on how it is perceived by pro-meditation groups - victim blaming (eg. you're doing it wrong, this didn't happen to me, this isn't meditation). Seeing some similar comments in here. Some areas of meditation actually acknowledge some sort of "dark night" that practitioners have to push through which caused a mental breakdown in the author.

Just because I've done LSD multiple times without psychosis, doesn't mean that LSD can't cause psychosis in some people. I believe it is the same with meditation. As much as some think meditation is beneficial, the effective sample size is 1.
> My personal experience with individual teachers is that they work plenty, and what I saw during remote school was no exception.

Yes, there are definitely some individual teachers who care about student learning and work hard to go back to in-person.

Unfortunately, the unions adopt the most risk-averse/lazy possible regarding remote learning. Even in 2022 there are unions pushing hard for effectively indefinite remote learning.[0]

I think I have seen that once or twice, but that is about it. Which sites do you run into that do not have SSO?
Exactly what I was thinking... it's too bad they shut down due to a lack of funding of all things...
Plenty of FOSS projects don't share your opinion on where to host their forums.
America doesn’t make anything anymore. Core issue is the dollar as the global reserve currency. Petro dollar system means all oil is priced in dollars which generates strong demand for dollars. Other countries export to the US to get dollars so they can buy oil. End result is the US can buy imports cheaper but our manufacturing base is hollowed out.

What do the most ambitious do in the USA? Go into software or Wall Street. Becoming the best widget maker is noble, and many go into it and earn a fine salary, but the truly ambitious sniff out the money and go there.

If you want to reduce inequality, stop incentivizing money pushing. But to do this will require a ton of pain as we get out of the current global system and reorient towards actually doing stuff.

Inflation is finally getting bad for cheap shit imported from foreign countries. But inflation for all manner of things that are conveniently ignored in CPI like how much it costs to make skyscrapers, how much it costs to make subways, how much medical care and education costs, etc. etc. has been rising forever because foreigners can’t manufacture that and ship it on a container to the US.

No amount of tax dithering will solve this fundamental misalignment of our currency. Until this is solved expect those closest to money printers to keep winning.
To be fair: the French have some competent forces (FFL), as do the Brits (Royal Marines). I'd put both of those a notch above the Crayola Connoisseurs, and that's saying something. Lotta combat-ready dudes in Bulgaria as well.

But yeah, Europeans by and large lack the mindset of traditional Americans, who look at military service as a right of passage. It's been fascinating to talk with Europeans about the present situation. Most of them still really don't understand even the short-term ramifications of the current conflict, nor do they understand the underlaying causes.

That all said, I'm not sure where the next generation of American warfighters is going to come from. After the überbungle that was the withdrawal of Afghanistan, every person I know currently serving wants out now.
This makes perfect sense, some people will be suited to some days on-site, and some off-site, but there will be others like myself where the commute is now a deal breaker.

If you get some talented engineers to join you because of the shortsightedness of Google then kudos to you, and more the loss for Google.
I worked from home on that job for weeks at a time and no one said anything. The funny thing was that when I was at the office, anytime I needed to speak w/ anyone, I had to leave my desk and find a quiet place. It was inane. The only upside was the free Diet Dr. Pepper.

Before anyone gets too excited to talk about their problems with Stripe on HN, please know that my account is semi-banned and anything I post is flagged as “self promotion” after I wrote a negative piece on Stripe that reached the HN front page.
I first learned the word suzerainty from the game Trails from zero, where Crossbell is a vassal state that is held suzerain by the two dominant states surrounding it, Erebonia and Calvard. I first thought it was a typo too.
There are books like "Java in Two Semesters: Featuring JavaFX" [0], which appears in the series "Texts in Computer Science"! Now, that series used to be called "Graduate Texts in Computer Science", until they dropped the Graduate to allow for books like these, I guess. And even "Undergraduate" would have been an oversell. Actually, "Computer Science" still is.

I had a very well organized and documented remote onboarding experience. There was a list of meetings to schedule with the names of the relevant people and tasks to undertake, as well as a dedicated mentor that you met with as often as you'd like. At the end you met with at least one person on each team and got lots of time with your own team while they explained the systems to you.

Of course this is at a company that was remote before the pandemic.
> Being able to add inline functionality in Django to select a customer within the quote page, or add / edit a new customer without having to leave that quote felt very 'hackish,' using the same jquery callback method used in Django Admin.

Agreed. For form based apps I don't like to fall back to SPAs (bloat, the desire of every dev to reinvent forms in their framework, client and server side validation duplication), and yet working with relational data they are easier.

It's one of those places where a half-way step would be so useful.
> To you, the bar to be able to claim "we love open-source” is to have every single thing you make be open-source?

No, my point is that it’s a meaningless statement in this post and that it diminishes the apparent significance of the rest of the post.
You are a business owner?
I have similar experiences as the OP. You cannot simply hire someone to oversee such large extend of information and business. Yeah that would be a CEO. But no ceo is willing to do that shitty administration work. Automation could help maybe. But generally it's just you yourself who needs to do it.
Look at ZGC GC. It has less latency due to stop-the-words than what the OS scheduler causes. (Of course at the price of throughput). But also the default GC, while on default being more throughput preferring can be tuned by a single paramater.

This particular company's main business is spying. It may have been harder to creep on cult members from a distance.

Maybe Google employees are behaving less like "Googlers" at home when priorities shift to family and life. Behavioral changes are harder to enforce remotely when you cannot model cult member's personality by pointing out "ungoogley bahavior" multiple times a day and shaming them in other ways.
It's seeming pretty fashionable these days to bash SPAs. I disagree that SPAs were mistake (or that it's often a mistake to reach for a SPA, even today) SPAs are now and have been a great tool to leverage when you want to build an application without needing to think about servers. Yes, there are tradeoffs. Yes, you should think about the thing you're building for. Yes, you should think about the skills of the developers working on it. That doesn't change the fact that SPAs can be great choice and not something to be perceived as a mistake.
thank you, i used to read SCMP in the past, forgot about it.
Oh, they absolutely did. And the list of faults is unfortunately growing. However we're not in a position of choosing how exactly this particular set of problems will be solved; we have to get what we can sometimes.
Well, yeah. It's pretty obvious that Russian troll farms have been running massive psyops. But beyond that, psyops that generate anger with ingroup/outgroup mentality drive eyeballs, and that means profit. There were reports about troll farms in the 2016 election, I think in Albania or the Balkans, that made a fortune making up us-vs-them stories on both sides.
Had medical care, education, child care, and housing followed a cost curve similar to food over the last 40 years [1], no one would be complaining. A big reason why those things have become so expensive is because the country chose to make them expensive. Housing had to be a “good investment”. Elite schools were priced for the elite. Health care became a rent seeking operation in far too many ways to count.

It absolutely kills me that the Democrats haven’t brought up immigration as a way to tackle inflation. The left made immigration all about race, but there’s a huge supply side benefit to having more people who are able to produce more goods and services in the country. Immigrants are often the ones who build houses, and look after our sick, children, and elderly. The country would be a better, more affordable place with more people to help out.

I'm not sure I am convinced that Saverin should have renounced, I think that decision may end up a modern example of Solon's advice to Croesus, but maybe that is just my western liberal prejudice against Singapore coming through.
I'm American but speak enough Russian to read social media with frequent trips to the dictionary. Where should I go to talk with Russians and how they're seeing Putin's actions?
