Why would I want to debunk your proposal? I don't think it's bunk, I just think it would have some undesirable consequences. That's no bar to pointing out the desirable ones!

This is the first time Silicon Valley has been brought up in this discussion, but keep in mind that practices in the US are influential around the world, and the harms from strengthening inequality and substituting credentialism for meritocracy fall predominantly on people outside the US. The discussion has mentioned YC (Boston originally), Rust (Mozilla, San Francisco, previously SV), Microsoft (Washington), Android (SV), iPhone (SV), Instagram (SF), the Zetas (Mexico), Brazil (the movie), the American landscape (much of which is in Brazil, the country), Google (SV), FAANG (SV/Washington/SV/SV/SV, but all with offices worldwide), Linus Torvalds as a student (Finland), Fabrice Bellard (France), Guangdong (China), the ACM (US-wide), the IEEE (also), Triplebyte (SV but kind of worldwide), the SAT/ACT/AP tests (US-wide), Ukraine, Russia, and Canada.

I agree that the danger of war in Ukraine was foreseeable; I wrote about it in 02016 https://dercuano.github.io/notes/wwiii-genesis.html https://dercuano.github.io/notes/state-of-the-world.html and 02017 https://dercuano.github.io/notes/2017-sap-allocation.html and George Kennan wrote about it last millennium. But it's also true that it was widely dismissed two weeks ago.

I'm glad we agree on calling for humility! And, yes, Wayne's whole series is worth reading.
Same for me. Until I learned Haskell. If you don’t know Haskell I highly recommend learning it. Even if you choose never to use it in production. It will make you a better programmer in any language and will make it super easy to learn Idris/Agda/LEAN/Coq etc.

maybe (maybe) putin reality distortion field can keep working, or maybe russian will start to wonder why everybody is leaving russia all of a sudden (including many russians).
So there’s several details and questions that I think might be important for interpreting this study!

1) all stainless steels need to be “passivated” in order to be properly stainless. These days that process involves putting the stainless steel in a hot water bath with like a pound of citric acid for every gallon of water used. (I actually do this at home with any cookware or steel bottles where I notice a metallic taste). Chips of stainless steel that aren’t passivated will leach and or corrode!

2) I think most cookware is 304 steel. I’m not sure how often it’s 316. But also unless you control for passivation it’s still pretty uninformative.
What is the approach that most nonprofits that you're referring to take?

The American Cancer Society convinced professional sports teams to wear pink for an entire month, the Goodwill collects people's unwanted junk and sells it, the YMCA recorded a song and choreographed a dance...the only approach I'm aware of that non profits take is the one that generates the most money..

The fact that Mozilla is a non profit and have built a product that performs on-par with products built by two of the most valuable companies in the world (Microsoft and Google) is astonishing. The engineers building Firefox cost the same amount as the engineers building Chrome and Edge. But balk all you want at seeing an adorable red panda fill up your screen
AI-Based Address Cleaning and Geocoding Tool
Hi All,

We work within the last-mile space, specifically developing solutions for the last 100ft of a delivery where a lot of failed deliveries occur (i.e: drivers missing ETAs, wrong address deliveries, etc).

Our main product is something called Smart Addressing that tackles dirty/inaccurate addresses.

Smart Addressing is able to provide…

- AI-based Address cleaning & standardization (currently for North America)
- “To-the-Door” geocoding (specifically useful for multi-unit complexes)
- Address Insights (i.e: commercial vs. Residential, military sites, plazas, malls, condo, etc)

Originally, we’ve been serving delivery carriers from Day 1, but we are seeing some growing demand from the eCommerce community.

As such we are currently in the midst of launching our Web APP which will operate as a self-service platform for customers to do bulk/single address validation, get “to-the-door” geocoding, and address insights.

If anyone is interested, you can join our Waiting List located on our website. These individuals will have credits applied to their account for free usage.

Thanks!
Yeah I just mean all the user apps that some people may not use; Social media apps is a huge one.
It doesn't make transmission impossible. It makes it less probable, which most definitely does reduce transmission.

To say "Vaccination doesn't reduce transmission" is to say "Vaccination has no effect on the R value". It clearly does.

I used to always hear the trope that "cancer isn't one disease, it's 1000, so there will never be a 'cure' for cancer", yet for a while now properties that are shared across a wide variety of cancers are found regularly, increasing hope that we can knock a lot of them out with a single type of treatment. In this case it's 20% of cancers but I recall seeing other findings across a wider swath.
I agree, though I'm curious about your thoughts on protein. My conclusion has been that protein is overall very beneficial, but there are many people claiming we should consume more or less. I'd figure that limiting refined carbs and sugars as well as fasting would counterbalance any possible negatives of protein, but I don't actually know.

I think iCE40 LP/HX series are the biggest ones, but the iCE40UP5K is also neat: it has hardware multipliers unlike the LP/HX, and a relatively large 1 megabit RAM on-chip. Unfortunately, I think the UP family is relatively slow (as in propagation delay/max clock frequency).
I disagree. Memes (as in, the culture/personal worldview that can be passed on to descendants) are an equally interested angle of looking at this situation. While the genetics lost this battle, the father's meme is still passed on to the offspring, even if such offspring isn't biological.

You could characterize it gravity-wise, but we can already characterize it gravity-wise (sort of). We really only care about a field to the extent it can interact with other fields, and as of now gravity isn't really a quantum field, but a distinct thing. I think most people hope to eventually get relativity under the quantum umbrella, but we're nowhere near that yet. If relativity is just a description of the stage the other fields dance on, then we're just kinda screwed. We could determine the mass of the particle (assuming we could ever be confident in separate particles at all), but no other properties.

TBF every company managing a web application should be doing the same.

You positively need to know what your users come to click on, where they bail, what features they never use, what browsers constantly drop out at this specific part of your website, what IP uses the bot that scrapes your most costly site wide search every millisecond etc.

Sure, any of these data could be derive from more focused, pinpoint check if you knew in advance what exactly you need to know. But let's be realistic, there's no way to anticipate every single use case and only collect the minimum data needed to fulfill it.

I don't see detailed usage data collection as a critical issue as long as it isn't sold/leaked/stored for decades/misused to harm. We can come up with so many cases where it has been effectively misused, but I'd argue it's like saying kitchen knives are misused again and again to kill people and we should stop their use. It's not realistic.

Why wouldn’t the cap apply to those devs as well?
Isn't that going to be carbs? I mean they certainly have less carbs per unit of weight but to the extent they have calories it's mostly carbs right?

Level 4 lockdown was draconian I would say. Level 3 was like level 4 but you could get fast food, so a little less draconian. Level 2 was pretty much normal but those who could work from home had to work from home.

But we all just did what we needed to do. I think we got a great result from that in the end, and the government adjusted the Covid response to the public opinion as we eventually tired of lockdowns and had access to and good uptake of vaccines.

I would give our Covid response 8/10. Only thing that could have been better is we got the vaccine a few months early then it would have been more like 9/10 as we wouldn't have been rushing to vaccinate just as Delta was hitting and rushing to boost while Omicron is hitting.

Yes. A server is a dedicated machine running an service on a specific port.

Choose an OS.

- FreeBSD - Throws you in the deep-end but documented well to learn. Touching FreeBSD you will enable to manage Linux. Guides for BSD tend to be vague

- Linux - "Everything runs on Linux" easy gui installs. Lots of guides "How do I x on y distro" - Available in many different flaours, dog-food friendly.

Now choose a service(s) you wish to serve.

- Basic Web Server?

Easy Setup - Low Security

- Game Server?

Easy/Advance Setup - Low Security

- DNS Server?

Advance Setup - Medium Security

- Email Server?

Advance Setup - Medium-High Security

Then start with the following beginner steps:

- User Accounts and User Groups

SUDO, Disabling root login via SSH et cetera

- Moving SSH to another port other than 22

- Configuring SSH-Keys and password-less authenication

Now the firewall, pick one.

- Linux has IPTables and UFW

- FreeBSD has PF and IPFW

Once you've chosen your firewall, learn the the basic's of TCP / UDP

> TCP - "Hello, Hi, This is me, Cool. this is you, This is my data, Thanks for the data, good bye, bye"

> UDP - "Hi, so like here is all my data, bye"

then learn how to do the following rules:

- Block all inbound

- Block ICMP

- Block the inbound SSH port and only allow specific IP addresses

- Opening the port of your chosen service.

WebServer - 80/443

GameServer - 27960 for Quake3 Arena

DNS Server - 53

Once you've managed all of that your server is good to sit on the public internet.

Then learn about backups.

>This family you know had 33% fewer biological children than they could have had.

That's not necessarily true. It's possible - likely, even - that they adopted their last two because there would be issues conceiving a fifth. (Having a C-section limits the number of children a woman can have, for example - as does simply being above a certain age)
Sure, but many of the cd cloning tools at the turn of the century would name your bit stream dumped to file with a .iso file type, not .IMG . That's what I'm referring to. I think it was wondering the meaning of that file format that led me to even learn what an ISO standard was.
> With Biden replacing Trump, Putin began spooling up the Russian war machine for the attempt.

Do people and pundits have memory of a goldfish?

Trump was literally impeached for blackmailing Zelensky, and witholding US arms and support, unless he opened an investigation into Biden (which Zelensky refused). If it wasn't for Trump, Ukraine would be better prepared today. There is also ample evidence of Trump's links to Russia that go all the way to the top, records of him admiring Putin, etc.

It should be obvious that the reason war started now is gas shortages in Europe - Puting thought EU would place their cozy safety over solidarity with Ukraine, and he thought the war would be over so quickly, the beurocratic sanction-machine wouldn't get a chance to get going. He miscalculated.

> Europe has been reliant upon US defense spending for decades.

This is a myth - Europe has more soldiers, planes, tanks and missiles than Russia. There is no asset except nukes where Russia has an advantage.

Russian military spending is 5% of Nato. Reminded that US spending is not 95% of nato. Their current issues in Ukraine should make it clearer for anyone who wasn't convinced.

Europe perfectly capable of holding it's own when it comes to defence - what's lacking is a unified military structure and command, as that was always done through Nato.
That's true, you have to keep it well seasoned to prevent it from rusting. Can you do that with carbon steel? I'd think the surface chemistry would be about the same, so maybe? Does the greater flexibility of the thinner cookware make the seasoning flake off?
Yep. They literally need to start doubling pay to retain people. The attrition this year is going to be devastating.

Imposter Syndrome.

I see 'imposter syndrome' as a rite-of-passage when a tech person advances enough to be included in the 'high-level' set of tech people. At the start, they don't know quite as much as the 'really-high-level' people in the group, so they feel unworthy of being included. As they learn more and move upwards within the group, that imposter syndrome fades away.

I am an average engineer. I am not extremely bright nor I am technically gifted.

You're probably more bright and technically gifted than you think. As you have learned more, that level of 'your normal' has moved up with you.
I think NZ will fare better by orders of magnitude than the US because NZ had one of the best responses in the world and the US had one of the worst responses in the world.

You can use a public CA like LetsEncrypt then. Exposes you to the certificate log but you should be secured already anyways. Just have to use the DNS challenge (unless you wanna poke a hole for certbot) to grab it
I see how isotope fingerprinting can be a big issue in the plan. No way that the world at large wouldn't recognise this as a false flag attack if they got a 99% match with known Russian military nukes.

That said, I don't see why people domestically wouldn't buy it. They could spin any number of stories, such as that a corrupt/kidnapped military/government official allowed the weapon to escape Russian custody and detonation control.

Or they could just lie. Some fraction of people will believe it, either because they are not nuclear experts, or because it's repeated so often they'll start believing it eventually.
I've had the same issue, but mostly for home lab type stuff. Even if you set up an internal CA and all the trappings, you still have a root cert problem. For consumer devices without easy access to certificate stores, it gets complicated fast.

Maybe the state of the art has changed since the last time I looked, but it would be really nice to have something as easy as Lets Encrypt for private tools while at the same time not exposing internal network details.
And keep at it, I guess.

I'll go through a tutorial, and start picking up stuff. Then life happens, I spend some time away. Now I want to pick it up again... and I have to start from scratch.

> Learning a language is difficult when there is little to no mapping with previous languages.

Then they go on to describe a developer who experienced shock when transitioning between C++ and TypeScript.

How is this a shock? These are just 2 different dialects of Algol.

Programmers should expand their window of tolerance more by learning languages which are _actually_ different from each other. Such as:

assembly, forth, lisp, apl, sql, smalltalk

A few commenters here mentioned picking up new languages was easy, "except for Haskell". Well, that's probably because all the other languages you picked up were Algol dialects.

Learning another language in the same paradigm is like a native English speaker learning a new accent.

And certain major areas of medicine that people don't think about that much (outside of the field) such as medical informatics are younger still.

This really makes me sad. I'd like to live in a world where burned-out iPads could be used as digital calendars or drawing tablets or something of that ilk. We see people revel in the functionality of old Macs/PCs all the time here on Hacker News, it's pretty harrowing to realize that our reality is one where making these systems usable again is seen as a "waste of time", and that feeling of joy derived from finding older technology that still has a place in the world has all but dried up.

They're "actually" what QFT says they are, but the rest isn't wrong either. It's not wrong to say "a house exists" because it's actually a pile of bricks in the shape of a house.

Survival rate commensurability across time and procedure is quite complicated when you also have fairly strict/different/evolving selection criteria.
You know, it wasn't long ago that Blender was a somewhat obscure open source CG/3D modeling software that was not taken super seriously for enterprise use. Blender has been around for a really long time, and there has always been a community of users and developers who improved the software over the years. Eventually it hit some sort of critical mass where it got good enough, and attracted enough attention and funding to accelerate the development (I like to think this was the 2.8 release.) This started a positive feedback cycle where it got better, attracted more attention and funding, thus improving and polishing it even further to the point where it's sponsored by practically every major tech company, and taken seriously when compared to commercial software.

So I like to think that there's hope for FreeCAD or something similar. Especially when considering how the 3D printing/maker community has become increasingly prominent. There's definitely demand for open source 3D CAD and a passionate and capable community of makers willing to make that happen. But this type of software isn't built, refined, and polished overnight.
