I don't know why anyone would buy this goofy monitor, the LG 27GN950-B has a gorgeous 4K@144Hz HDR screen, works great for gaming and for reading text / coding, and is cheaper too. You could get this monitor, a pair of great AudioEngine A2 speakers and a webcam, and still have money left over

FWIW, I do prefer R to all other "notebook" languages. It has everything I need for answering questions about data, working with files, text, and visualization. Libraries that do everything I could imagine are easily available.

For me it's a pragmatic workhorse tool that I use and aside from frequently getting frustrated with the task at hand, it has never failed me in the end.

I think R is much like a handheld power tool. I have no interest in diving deep into the workings of the tool because when I need to use a drill, for instance, I just need to drill holes and anything else is an annoying distraction (I realize that sounds bad!).

I've also worked with Mathematica and JMP in the past. They're very capable, but not as good at general-purpose data-wrangling as R is today (given Rstudio, knitr, shiny, all the specialized libraries, and most especially the tidyverse).

This idea is the source of Fred Brooks' observation: "Plan to throw one away. You will anyway."

In order to implement a good solution you need to understand the problem well. Often, the only way to reach that level of understanding is by trying and failing to implement it.

These days, with modern refactoring and incremental development, it's less throwing away a whole program and more gradually refactoring it until little of the first code remains but I think the observation still holds in many cases.
Yep, there's probably a big difference in how real scientists talk about it vs. what we end up seeing in casual magazines, etc.
Small medical office IT disaster recovery plan
Hi. I am new to IT. Need some ideas. My company's clients are small medical offices. They run mission critical software that cannot have more than 4 hours of down time. I was told to use Windows 10 image to recover the server but it would take too long to get my client up and running. Any better ideas? Thank you!
IME this is strictly worse than the RStudio experience; most of the time I hit tab in a VSCode notebook I get way too many options that IMO are clearly not what I want, though at some level it's more pandas' fault (too many methods & attributes even before attaching every column name as an attribute) than VSCode or Intellisense.
This. Insurance is how liability should be handled because that aligns incentives for everyone. Tesla's approach "it's drivers responsibility to pay attention" is a cop out and "manufacturers are responsible for 100% of everything that happens when automation is active" will stifle tech development. Insurance can set premiums based on number of accidents in the area and let market find most efficient solution.
I can see how those ones may be effective, but they need to give me a coupon at the same time ...
I did it myself. Just two months and half back I joined back a company I left in 2018. I left the company to work on more machine learning related projects and now I joined back as a senior DS. I really feel good about this move and I am happy I did it.
Indeed; the tub shot was arguably the only thing in Requiem for a Dream that was clearly a Perfect Blue ripoff. As TFA says, several other things that pissed of Kon were already present in the source material for Requiem.
I use Vim with the R command line wrapped around Makefiles. I don't even have RStudio installed. Works great.

I can even pop up an interactive R command prompt session and do whatever I want in it, even quick ggplot2 graphs. Help shows up just as you would expect, and plots pop up in new windows. RStudio is much less advanced than people think it is, it's really just managing R's windows for you and doing generic IDE work. R is doing all the heavy lifting.

If you're wanting a more "import" like thing you might want to look into making R packages instead of scripts. You don't have to submit them to CRAN, and you can execute them pretty simply on the R command line as well.

That being said, it's really not an OOP or software development tool. It's definitely geared toward data science, but you can automate that very well for generating graphs automatically and reporting for whatever reason needed.
OK, I looked over your paper. Could I actually build this from your paper and your single edge node circuit? I am not sure yet, I did not read it three times yet (typically, have to read it multiple times)... but my first impression is that I could not reproduce the papers conclusions. I _feel_ like something is missing. Are you holding off until your provisional patent is approved, or the like? I feel like there is some connecting device/circuitry/something left out...

As you mentioned near the end, you do NOT overcome the bias in the AD5220s? You just accept the error floor??
The sanctions don't block this. They block financial transactions.

If Nestlé can operate in Russia autonomously I don't see an issue.

The goal of the sanctions is to punish Putin and his close friends, not the entire Russian population that may already be living paycheck to paycheck.
Legally, Russia can’t just take its Space Station and go home
Nothing for the Commodore Amiga, eh? No AMOS or ARexx :(
I'm also in a company, but today am building up something on Github Actions.

Every single time I start doing development on Actions, GitHub goes down or actions start failing. I'm not sure if this is saying something about me, or GitHub.
> So they took away the user's ability to update the firmware, fused it in a ROM

That's simply not true. Users can upgrade those firmwares if they want (and absolutely no weird tricks like disassembling or soldering are necessary for that). PureOS doesn't distribute any non-free updates, but if you want, you absolutely can reflash these blobs.
People are trying to shift the paradigm all the time, but so far nothing has worked. Replacing General Relativity and the Standard Model is the mother of all hard problems.

One interesting approach I've heard of is abandoning reductionism and looking at how the macroscopic might actually determin the microscopic. We'll know how it pans out in half a century or so.
We can observe viruses though? Through electronic microscopy, by sequencing their genomes and also by observing their downstream effects.

In the case of dark matter, we only observe their downstream effects but have no other direct evidence of its existence.

The SBOM provides only a small amount of data and would not be sufficient to determine how to distribute payments. Knowing a company uses both PostgreSQL and leftpad would not be sufficient to determine how much each piece of software "deserves" out of the big pot of money. There are also many other problems that SBOMs would not solve:

- How to handle forks? Would forks of a project be counted as their own project or as new projects entitled to funding of their own?

- How to handle projects with many contributors? Would (say) antirez get all the money for Redis or would everyone who has ever submitted anything be entitled to a share? Both options seem ripe for abuse and this doesn't even go into the relative difficulty of (say) README changes and handwritten assembly patches for BLAS code.

- Imagine a big open source project like React. It is obviously "owned" by Facebook and it stands to reason they would get a large portion of any monies allotted to React. Would a large portion of small companies paying royalties to Facebook be a desired outcome of this system? You can repeat this with MySQL/Oracle and golang/Google as just a couple of simple examples where you would have small companies paying taxes to big companies just to use the open source software.

- Could the owner of an open source repo sell their rights to someone/something else? If so, how could you prevent a company systematically buying up all the rights to open source and charging a tax to all other companies that want to use "their" software?

There are just so many holes in the idea of forcing people to pay for open source that I can't see this getting anywhere. The lack of payment for FOSS has been the biggest driver for adoption over paid software, if you take that advantage away it just becomes paid software without maintenance guarantees.
this is not possible with home sleep tests. They will often claim to do this by using pulse transit time as a correlate for eeg arousal but that does not imply high sensitivity. People should be getting their sleep tests in lab as much as possible, home sleep tests are trash

Totally agree. Casting both Bardem and Brolin was particularly rough for me since my mind jumped immediately to No Country.
Not quite sure why anyone would hook up a $1600 60Hz monitor to a *Gaming PC*
(Not OP)

This would work for videos that people want to acknowledge as their own, but they could just tweet out they own it for the same affect.

The issue this tackles is videos that people don't want to claim ownership of, e.g. if a video emerged of <insert politician here> kicking a child, the politician can't say "I haven't signed it therefore it's not mine", instead we need tools like the above to be able to say, "this is faked, do not trust it".

Completely different to the order I use, which basically amounts to "how hard is it to fix this later".

So most important questions are:
(1) API must be as correct as possible, especially if its exposed outside of the immediate team. Changing APIs is a royal pain.
(2) Documentation of what's going on, especially for non-obvious stuff. If we come back to this in 3 years time and the author has moved on, do we have any hope of fixing it?
(3) Testing. What degree of confidence do we have this is doing the right thing? Will it protect me when I change it in a few years time?

Any minor bugs or code style issues can be fixed later as/when they are found and cause problems.
The thing is, your proposed change to the scale has to work exactly like "invisible stuff on the scale." So, we can observe dark matter in the early universe with the CMB, we can observe it in the large scale structure, and we can observe it in rotation curves. And the results of these observations is, that dark matter has to behave like matter, just dark. So your proposed new theory would need to deviate from standard theory in precisely the way an additional matter component would.
I think that is likely going to happen anyway, The political leadership of the US has no desire do to what is required to keep power. They like the business world are too focused on the short term, in the case of politicians it is the next election, in the case of business it is the quarterly earning statements

Neither are looking at a 20, 10 or even 5 year picture.

My cousin and I crafted our own fictional adventure on some scratch paper when we were kids. We usually started by drawing a fantasy/sci-fi map, chose a starting point, and then improvised the story as we "travel" in this world purely out of imagination.

Now thinking back this experience is interesting as it sort of reflecting what Tolkien said, "I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit."
I am always interested to see where people get there news. Do you care to share the names of the outlets you consider reputable?
Sure. That's where the first few billions of dollars and several years are going to have to go.
Yeah, but now they're internet famous being on the front page of HN! I'm actually surprised this is a mere blog instead of a YouTube video with a poster image of someone with a frustrated expression holding obviously incorrect cables.

I'm all for repurposing things, so I don't blame them for attempting something most rational people would not bother. Been there done that, will attempt it again on something different.
It's DisplayPort over USB-C though. Shouldn't DisplayPort output with a passive USB-C adapter work fine?

edit: Sounds like it does, but missing the additional features like audio.
I think it depends. I think in many companies it's unusual, but I've also worked for a company where it was not unusual for someone to leave, work somewhere else for a year or more, and then come back. But I think it was the only company where I've seen that happen.

I think it depends on why people leave. People who are fired because of the way they function are unlikely to get rehired, but people who are fired because the company is in financial trouble, might get rehired when the company is in calmer waters. Similarly, someone who leaves because they don't like it, are underpaid, hate the work environment, their manager, etc, are unlikely to return. But someone who likes it, but wants to try something else, might want to return.

The main risk that I see is that a company that knows you might see you as the person they used to know, and ignore any growth you may have had in the mean time. Rejoining a former employer requires open minds on both sides.
I would love to hear more about your architecture and deployment... do your services run as NixOS modules? Are you using NixOps or Morph or something else? How does your world look like without K8s and Containers?
NSA on How to Harden Kubernetes
I instantly started crying when I read this. My heart goes out to you.

Find a lawyer that will lift the burden. It won’t be easy to find one, but make that your mission for now. Someone here on HN might post about someone they know that can help.

There are only a few ways that you can punish companies like this.

1. Get as much money as you can. There are many tangible reasons for this.

2. Invoke change that will be wide sweeping and make a positive change in the world. For example, I would suggest making it so the company can never operate a truck within a 100 yards of any school while children or school are in session. Maybe cities can adopt this change and make it law. Have the law named after your son. This is the type of victory and positive change you can hope for.

You need a purpose and mission in life. Try giving the above a thought.
Nestle is probably the most evil company in the world though.

Show HN: AutoFloApp – LowCode TestAutomation WebApp
Hello HN commmunity, happy to announce the launch of AutoFloApp
It is the simplest way to automate your Testing

Our aim is to 1. Enable manual testers to automate, 2. Shorten the journey of a testcase to be automated, 3. Accessible to everyone and 4. Easy to maintain and develop.

We are a web application which provides below functionalities:

1. Shorten your testing life cycle through automation 2. No Code platform to enable Manual testers to automate 3. Remove dependency on any specific coding skills 4. No infra required for script development and execution 5. Increase scope of testing in same timelines by enabling test automation

We are in our Beta Trial phase and are already being used by global companies such as InfraGuard.io, who have reduced their automation script development time by 80% and testing execution time Testing time by close to 90% after using AutoFloApp.

You can sign up on our website - https://www.autofloapp-login.com/

Here is the short video to help you understand the tool - https://youtu.be/vpJfDPuCDbE

We have a 1 month Free Trial for all our Beta Customers. Do contact us on contact@autofloapp.com, if this fits your requirements, and we will circle back to schedule a demo.
I completely understand, in the same situation myself atm after several years of lean and agile work, somehow ended up having to manage this EBS crap on a new contract (it was only part of the spec). It's a nightmare.
Java (and .NET) have vast ecosystems with lots of developer experience, a massive standard library, a big selection of 3rd-party packages, vendors and services, solid backwards compatibility and deployment stability, and tons of research/development constantly making everything better.

Contrary to the Silicon Valley popular opinion, these languages are incredibly productive and run much of the world, with code running in all of the Fortune 500 companies down to small businesses and even your phones.
If you're using a product in a manner inconsistent with the specs, you should only do a write-up if it works. Otherwise it's a lot of drivel about how an elephant can't fly.
I think it does mention that. At least it talks about "lemon markets" and how the term "lemon" comes from the car market, and IIRC it links to the Wikipedia article on lemon market theory.
But hey, even with that example, the same mechanism got adapted to Chromebooks+Coreboot and now uses that same driver here:

If this article was interesting for you, I'd suggest Greg's Airplances and Automobiles youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCynGrIaI5vsJQgHJAIp9oSg

Rabbit Hole warning: The channel features discussions on many different aspects of plane design and performance, but focuses heavily on primary sources. You will learn a lot about what NACA was doing at the time. I'm not really a plane person, but this channel was fascinating.
I once worked at a place that self hosted a lot and they had fail-over, backups and restores dialed in

If something like Git went down — which it never — it was a few clicks away from coming back

Working with competent people is a blast
User connects a premium low market share monitor not designed for gaming or for a PC really, despite some software supplied to the vendor, to a gaming PC and then complains about how difficult it is even though it eventually all works anyway.

I don't get these articles or why you'd even buy one of these monitors for this case, even though I own one. I'd grab a random 144Hz 4k jobby instead. But I'm not a fan of punching myself in the balls over and over again for the hell of it.

So far with this monitor I've read pages of whining from people who shouldn't have bought it or didn't buy it. Everyone who should have bought it and did buy it seems quite happy. I know I am!
Or you can get a 4K Eve Spectrum with a 144 Hz refresh rate for less than half the price. There's no need to sacrifice in resolution very much either.
> Containers only give reproducible deployments, not builds

I think that means containers alone are insufficient for creating reproducible builds, not that containers make reproducible builds impossible.
While I absolutely support the idea that employment should include professional development, let's be wary: first, of survivorship bias, and second, of perversion of incentives.

How many side projects, at Google, and then at other places, didn't turn into runaway successes?

More importantly, if you tell management "you should let us work on side projects because it could make the company millions of dollars", watch how fast "did you use your 15% time to invent anything that is marketable this week" becomes a part of your performance review, and your "side project for personal development" becomes "PMs breathing down your neck asking for progress and status".
Personally this reads more as an indictment of the USB-c style connector. The physical form used to tell users of basically all technical level what was supposed to work when connected to what. The current port is anything but "universal" and just about anything at all you could imagine can happen when you plug in two USB c devices together - your laptop could charge the phone, the phone could charge the laptop, the display could work without a USB hub, the display could work only as a USB hub, the cord could only deliver power, etc.

And my (limited) understanding is that this is all on-spec; in practice you also have stuff like the power supply could be expected to deliver an off-spec amount like the Nintendo switch chargers and not work, etc etc
FYI, your target user is probably an old fart such as myself that really, really thought your name was hellosleep based on reading this intro.
Yes, but you know how we are. We can talk for hours about a juicy title without ever actually reading the article.

Not because we are lazy and don't read (I mean that does happen too, and I'm as guilty as anyone, but not just that), but because we all have itches that need scratching and all it takes is for someone to bring up a topic and we unload that pent up energy.

DevEx I think in some ways tries to address issues of empathy and that's a phrase I've been waiting for someone to coin (combination of saying it and enough people hearing it, the former I can do, the latter not so much) since about 10 years ago.
Web Socket for Productivity in Rust
No it doesn't. I fully confess the feature set is extremely minimal. But the point here is that running your own infrastructure can make a lot of sense if you know what your precise requirements are (or are not).
Where is the media money in unanimous or near unanimous coverage? A lot of the media model is around shocking news to pull in eyeballs to make more money. Outrage increases engagement and what's outrageous about the court being on the same page?
> This is difficult to believe that it isn't a bad faith argument to pad a comparison.

Ok but, I used my actual commute when figuring this in. It was 3 blocks away from my office and a block from my house. I wasn't really looking to walk 4 blocks each way out of a 12 block commute - at that point I could just walk, no?

There's also no hubs in Potrero, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Telegraph Hill, Chinatown, Japan Town, Polk Gulch (all places I'd call 'downtown') and none west of the mission. Coverage is good, don't get me wrong but it's not perfect for everyone.

> Which is bad math. Riders use bay wheels more, because you can take a bike to a concert or restaurant or park and not worry about parking it and/or bringing it home later.

Ok, but we're talking $0.33 down to what $0.16 per ride? Doesn't really matter because that's covered by the first minute of any additional ride. That'll increase your daily costs a lot - and make it much easier to justify owning your own.

Re: fixed costs, at $2000 per year for Bay Wheels, you can actually afford to get your $1000 e-bike stolen twice per year and still break even - and have your VanMoof with built-in theft protect, GPS and recovery team stolen every year and still break even.

> Then you shouldn't be making declarative statements about a $1200 always being cheaper than something like Bay Wheels, because it is cheaper for the vast majority of people living downtown SF.

Except I didn't say that. It's definitely not always better. I'm a big advocate of bike share services, and I've used them for years. Sometimes it is cheaper, some times it isn't. I'm not the gp.
