I don't find this article very helpful. The first paragraphs promises to summarize various claims the author has heard about tech debt. The second bit is a list of theses that are not very helpful, and come across with a bad attitude. Then the whole thing ends without substantiating the claims made earlier.

The helpful part boils down to "test coverage increases your confidence in your system". Also interesting is the connection between lack of PMF and what you could call "flailing-oriented development".
It is hard to do a search on the topic that isn't overwhelmed with 100 large and small new sites all reporting the same thing.

However, thinking critically, what are the odds that these colors just happen to perfectly align with the Ukrainian flag? Also, I've never see any space suite, from any country, in a yellow color. I've at least attempted to find evidence that they've used yellow suits before, but haven't found any. At this point I feel like I'm trying to prove a negative, and would ask anyone who claims that these yellow suits have been used before to please provide evidence.

On the other hand, I doubt those space suits were made in the last 2 weeks.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-ridicules-idea-t...

Reading the above article on the subject I notice a few interesting things. First, the suits were allegedly made some moths ago in the colors of the crews alma mater. They all have the same alma mater? Seems strange.

Second, the article says: "Every crew picks a color that looks different. It was our turn to pick a color," said the cosmonaut. "The truth is, we had accumulated a lot of yellow fabric, so we needed to use it up. That's why we had to wear yellow flight suits." -- They got to pick their colors, and picked yellow because they had extra fabric and HAD to choose yellow? This seems self contradictory. It also doesn't mention alma mater. There's 3 different explanations put forth by the article.

To top it all off, I haven't seen anything about these suits having existed since 2015 like you claim.

I'm not convinced the suits of a space agency were really determined by the amount of excess fabric they had lying around.
Looks like Ig Nobel Awards material, not because its intrinsic value or being interesting, but somewhat seem to follow the pattern.
Just beat them last night.... it was brutal.

If you explore a bit you'll find a site of grace that's directly in front of one of the gates. I also switched to frost damage and it made the fight almost trivial.
Those "annoying prompts" are there for a reason. How do you justify ignoring the users' wishes with regards to accessing personally identifiable information?

Also, why WebGL?

They need to make the act of denial a misdemeanor itself elsewise the bad police will always claim youre interfering when you're not.
Do you neuter your kids?
> Pretty wild, especially also the implications of the children having their own children and passing the mutated genes.

The implications of your kids each having ~70 de novo mutations just in the course of normal reproduction, which mutated genes they will pass on to their own children, is also pretty interesting.
Great point! Neither should the next batch of states that Russia gets carved up into. But realistically how many of those bombs were kept ready and are now usable? They have to be maintained, and if the russian gear and vehicles are any indication, they'd probably accidentally nuke themselves if they tried.

You are 100% right that the neighborhood feeling matters, but to be clear, the amenities need to come first.

I grew up in an apartment building that absolutely felt like a neighborhood in itself. There were at least 10 other kids in the 400-unit building my own age. In the local neighborhood (consisting of other apartment buildings) there were easily another 30 kids my age, any of whom I could see in a 5-10 minute walk. Few people owned cars (it was NYC after all!) and the area was quite safe traffic-wise.

I spent countless evenings outside walking or biking along promenades, or just hanging out in parks, playgrounds — all literally steps from my apartment building — and as I got older, in libraries, cafes, restaurants, shops, etc. The building I lived in also had a pool and multiple community “rooms” that were several thousand sqft large, which we reserved for birthday parties and other events.

It was fantastic. There were kids there because the spaces were designed to support families, and the “must have SFH with yard before having kids” attitude among the middle and upper-middle class is pretty weak in NYC, so my neighbors could be similarly-high SES because not all parents immediately flee apartment living for the suburbs.

Today, I live in a Bay Area inner suburb. There are, again, 10 kids my preschooler’s age in the local (couple blocks) neighborhood. But they can’t bike alone (or even walk alone, really) because drivers often hit 50mph and don’t look where they’re going. Each of our back yards — though we have one! — is tiny, much smaller than the community rooms I had growing up, so for any serious physical activity we have to get in the car to drive somewhere, contributing to the “traffic is a problem” problem.

The closest public park is a 4000-square-foot grass triangle in a quiet almost-cul-de-sac that takes 10 minutes to walk to and 30 seconds to walk across. There is a library 5 minutes’ walk away, and it is a saving grace.

If I could transplant the apartment building I grew up in to my local neighborhood, which is about 2 miles square — 100 million sqft — its 16000 residents could be housed in about 16 buildings, each of which would have a 25,000 sqft footprint, totaling 400,000 sqft and leaving 99.6 million square feet for fantastic parks, promenades, playgrounds, schools, trails, open space, basically any use you could imagine. Each apartment could be owned, 2000+ sqft, with private decks/patios/balconies and wonderful views.

If that were available in the Bay Area…we could build them at 2x the density described above and house the next 20 years of newcomers…
The interesting thing about FromSoft games is that almost all of the difficulty is observation and timing. It's real difficulty, to be sure, but almost anybody (obviously without severe visual impairment) can learn observation and timing. It's not like a high APM or high precision thing, where you need good reflexes or dexterity with keyboard and mouse; it's mostly a matter of learning when to hit which button.

The problem is that some people find it highly satisfying to learn when to hit which button, but some people find it boring. To the latter, this manifests as a level of difficulty so high that it almost prohibits playing the game. Which is fine -- not everyone needs to like every game -- but it's annoying to those people when others tell them that they should like it.
My intro to Alexander was also through Notes on the Synthesis of Form, though personally I found it to be really antiquated. Shortly after I found out he distanced himself from a lot of the design methodology work he did in the 60s:

>‘There is so little in what is called ‘design methods’that has anything useful to say about how to design buildings that I never evenread the literature anymore [...] I would say forget it, forget the whole thing.’

That's not to say the literature and was/is immensely inspiring, so much so that his name comes up within software engineering as much as it does within architecture.
> I've read that several times, and I think they're saying you can't record the encounter if it's not dangerous?

It’s poorly worded. The law is to be limited in its application by the police officers to situations they deem dangerous. In other words don’t ask people not to record within 8ft of an interaction/arrest unless it’s a potentially dangerous.
Nice straw man, because you didn't disagree with me, you disagreed with someone else's argument. Actually, in the old days, every update was applied as soon as humanly possible. It is only in the last 25 years that admins have been required to carefully examine updates and weigh the risks of production possibly going down or getting funked against I suppose apparently the incessant barrage of novel network firmware attacks.
One of the comments on that issue:

> Due this bug the content of one of my source file which had 3000 line, was deleted .

> I don't use version control system.

> How can i restore it?

I know we're in a cosy bubble on HN, but in 2022 do we really still have developers (having one 3k loc file is non-trivial enough to warrant that appellation) who don't do any kind of backups, via VCS or otherwise?
I’ve spent quite a lot of time thinking about this with curiosity. After listening to enough of his ranting and deep dives on Twitch/YouTube, I’m amazed at the level of depth (and width for that matter) that his mind is capable of.
I’m glad to hear that. Also, you couldn’t be more right about dynamic range. The Loudness Wars ruined so many recordings. I bought the Dropkick Murphy “Meanest of Times” album many years ago, and there’s like 5dB range. It’s so bland, and so tiring, to listen to.
That's one of the "psychovisual enhancements" employed by modern codecs. Here [0] is a nice explanation I could among in top search results:

"... x264’s psychovisual enhancements do a pretty good job of keeping detail where you’d notice it (the face), at the expense of the stuff you normally wouldn’t notice while watching (like those background areas)."

Okay? I did say "just video recording" (or at least nothing more than "video recording"). I was the one you replied to, I was the one saying what I think I could do.

This link isn't really relevant to what I said.

Honestly, this feels like a bout of violent agreement.

Nah, just global warming and environmental destruction.
Isn't AWS Lambda like this: I write Python right into web interface to implement simple services, event handlers, etc.
I had a similar experience when I first played Bloodbourne. It was my fist FromSouls and I kept dying to this big troll dude on the first level. I got so frustrated and I quit, not understanding at all what the fuss was all about.

For some reason I come back to it 6 months later, and persevered through (not realizing that you absolutely DONT need to fight that damn thing). I kept dying until something clicked, and from then on everything become much easier and I enjoyed every minute from then on.

Same with Demons Souls, I kept dying to Armour Spider, got really angry, frustrated, then something clicked and I broke through, and the rest of the game was amazing.

Not saying this is/would be your experience, and I generally agree that the difficulty does get in the way sometimes, but maybe it's worth it to see if you can break through. I do think Elden Ring is the hardest of all the ones I've played, BUT the open world means it's as hard as you make it, if something is too hard in ER, you can just nope out of there and explore somewhere else.

You can also just play as a spell-caster and the game gets much easier.

I have first hand knowledge of this, it's been while but I remember logging into into a Ruby/Sapphire backdoor with default credentials and unmasking the credit card data if there was an issue and a credit transaction wasn't processed. This was for a large regional chain.

It's really an industry problem, everyone who works in the c-store side of things is old as dirt and doesn't understand or care about security.

You can't always tell whether the car is operating autonomously even from the back seat, let alone another vehicle. A lot of operators keep their hands very close to the wheel and follow its motions to minimize response time when they need to take over.

I've worked at companies whose vehicles you've probably seen and have never heard anything like what you're suggesting is "the truth". Can you provide more details on how current solutions don't remotely approach reasonable safety levels?
Sorry, I wasn't being precise. Lots of people use BGP for easy lifts, like internal policy routing inside data centers (I find this mystifying but whatever) or simply to advertise Anycast prefixes to upstreams. I was thing more about doing default-free global Internet routing with multiple peers.

It’s actually no problem mathematically to have toroidal topology and flat geometry. (The classic Asteroids video game, where your ship can go off the top of the screen and come in at the bottom, or similarly with the left and right edges, is an example of a flat 2D space with the topology of a torus.)
Interestingly, the Golden Gate Bridge pioneered worker safety measures while the Bay Bridge (built at the same time) followed the status quo of almost no consideration to safety.

The difference was, basically, how much management cared about the issue.
> The issue is that ML has no conceptual and causal understanding of anything

Practitioners work with much more tightly defined objectives and methods for improving their systems than "conceptual and causal understanding of anything". From the perspective of folks in the industry we've been making remarkable progress, well beyond what we could have expected. We're saturating major benchmarks, sometimes in one to two years. Back in the day, during the "AI Winter", it was often 10 years before a new breakthrough happened.

You can but it kinds of sucks to do this from Germany. I am also from Germany, foreigner but living here long enough to know how things work over here.

The laws and regulations available in Germany makes it kind of bad to work as a contractor, it is also terrible for the company contracting you. The social insurance contribution you'll need to pay out of your pocket will be quite high and the list goes on.

It is too painful to be good. Other countries it is much easier to work as a contractor(such as Great Britain, Portugal etc), but Germany is definitely not in that group.

If working abroad is such a priority for you, you are probably better off getting a visa to work in the US and move there, or move to an EU country that is a bit more progressive in that regard.

I personally made the decision to not work as a contractor and got a job in a North American company that has an entity here to do payroll. That is becoming more common and even some companies such as Remote, do payroll for American companies, enabling them to hire people around the EU, not as a contractor, and this works quite well for folks who live in Germany.

Best of luck :-)
Right. Facebook would take down content “claiming that Covid-19 was man-made or manufactured”. I’m not arguing against cited claims.

Your wording is broader, emphasis added here to highlight the differences from the above text:

“To say that Covid may have originated in a lab would get you censored on youtube, facebook and most other social media.”

In table form, what’s been cited would look like this:

Service _____ would take down content that said the lab leak / human manufacturing _____ happened:

Did Maybe
YouTube

When you don't understand the science yourself and can't properly weigh the risks / benefits it seems fairly reasonable to rely on experts.

In this case, the parents likely did not have the information necessary to make a decision about their own offspring (especially since they were lied to).

As far as legal/societal decision making, I don't think we have a better solution than relying on experts. What is the alternative? Unless you are only talking about using personal morals for the purpose of discussing right/wrong rather than actually making decisions based on them.
Not really, the use case for example would be an app like Codecademy:
- users input code
- you need to run the code and provide the output

As an app, you would not send users to AWS Lambda right?
many points of internet karma (and perhaps a profitable career as a consultant) awaits anyone who spills the beans on how their grand data mesh rearchitecture actually turned out a few years down the track, and if the exciting new problems caused by the data mesh were easier or harder to deal with than the boring old problems caused by the organisational and IT architecture it replaced.
I've also heard that bands were better in the 60's and 70's than they are today...or...oh wait, is it just survivor-ship bias? We do have examples of building big things fast in history, but do we also have examples of projects taking way longer than they should?
> So you don’t have to be scouring through the newest papers on Arxiv in order to know the most important things. A dozen or so textbooks even from a few decades ago contain about 80% of legible scientific knowledge.

> This is a story that repeats in many fields. If you’re interested in economics, then you don’t have to memorize the prices of goods and the rates of growth throughout history. Instead, read books that try to explain a broad range of phenomena with a single theory, like the Baumol cost effect or the efficient market hypothesis or nominal GDP targeting.
We will never forget. But apparently we have.
I’ve done it, sometimes I buy coffee, use the bathroom, check email- and then I’m on the road again.

But that’s actually kind of a fun idea, watch a show or movie in bursts. Thanks! Maybe you look forward to the next charging stop, to find out what happens after the cliffhanger!
Same here, I’m a tmux junkie but for the particular use case of staging smaller parts I much prefer sublime. Have been meaning to give fugitive a proper try as well, looks like it’a gui allows for a similar use case as well without the context switch.
The gene CCR5 encodes for a protein that one strain of HIV uses to enter cells. These kids may (depending on how accurate the editing actually was) have reduced susceptibility or even immunity to _that strain_ of HIV.

However, this CCR5 mutation has also been shown to worsen outcomes for other diseases (influenza, west nile, certain forms of encephalitis). And it almost certainly has other effects, in isolation or with other gene combinations, that haven't been discovered yet. The human body is _incredibly_ complex and we are nowhere near a complete understanding of the genome.

To make this kind of change without the consent of the patient, or a full understanding of the effects, or a way to turn it off, or a way to prevent it from being inherited by descendants (short of doing another round of CRISPR on each descending embryo) is incredibly reckless and unethical.
Not “way” less, because most stars are lower mass than the Sun and thus have longer lifetimes (~ trillions of years in the case of red dwarfs).

Two good videos on the topic of sound in Dune. The first from Vanity Fair, "How 'Dune' Composer Hans Zimmer Created the Oscar-Nominated Score":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93A1ryc-WW0

Interesting tidbit: a good number of the "bagpipe" sounds were not created with bagpipes.

The second is from wild life photograph Dani Connor, "My Squirrel Recording is in a movie: Interview with Mark Mangini, Oscar Winning Sound Designer":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtfzjehDg74

A squirrel recording of hers was used to make the sound in the desert mouse (muad'dib) scene.
It's even weirder given that the bug was in a beta/pre-release version.

I wouldn't use a pre-release of VS Code on anything I didn't have a backup of.
Velvia 100 is gone, but Velvia 50 is still available (though the large sizes aren't imported to the US). Then there's Fuji Provia, my favorite of Fuji's reversal films. In fact I just ordered 10 rolls of Provia in 120 film.
I’m confused, why does it matter if nobody else uses them, if you need 80 bits of precision? Do more people use SANE?

Some people love their dogs as much as children and care for them as such. Who cares? How does it hurt us? And why is this childish culture-war garbage on HN in the first place? It doesn't inspire curiosity -- it's just someone trying to make other people feel bad for absolutely nothing.
Of course they have. Because when police are recorded killing George Floyd it's obviously the bystanders recording video that directly contradicts the police report on the incident that are the problem.

I would say this won't survive a lawsuit but I'm honestly not so sure anymore. This Supreme Court seems to be on the verge of being completely unhinged. Take Texas's controversial attempted end run around judicial review by outsourcing enforcement to private citizens with its abortion law.

If that construction holds up, it can be used by bypass any constitutional protection and SCOTUS should know that and they do [1] yet the Court declined to stay the controversial law pending review by the full court [2]. Whether you agree with the law or not, failure to stay a law that clearly alters something that has been established constitutional precedent for 50 years is utterly outrageous.

The outright assault by conservatives on civil liberties in the US is beyond shocking. Some of it is clearly virtue signaling. A lot of it is fueling with culture war with wedge issues (eg all the assaults on trans rights). But after McConnell spent 4 years rubberstamping conservative judges at every Federal level, I'm honestly afraid a disturbing amount of such reactionary legislation will actually stand.

It sounds almost entirely about team responsibility and governance, rather than technical architecture. What’s the difference from a data lake on a technical level?
I don't mean this in a derisive way, but was anyone else just a little disappointed by the Dune soundtrack? When I saw Hans Zimmer was working on it, I really expected him to get cut loose on this project. Instead we got pretty standard Hans Zimmer fare, some of which just sounded like him phoning it in. We're in the desert? Do the stereotypical Arabic singing sting! We're in a dark evil place? Cue the chanting (which wasn't anything interesting, either; just some people reading off the names of different Duniverse factions, nothing creative). Since Dune was (to me) always about this constant subversion of tropes, hearing Zimmer lean into these played-out sounds really sucked the air out of a movie I anticipated for a while, and a musician who I have great respect for. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic, though.
