i’m hoping with Covid more people are familiar with testing theory : ie sensitivity , specificity , false positives and false negatives

these testing systems are just one of many indicators that are meant to be used . if used in isolation - very harmful outcomes will occur

Do you actually want a statically typed _imperative_ language for generating configs?

Or do you want a sane, statically typed, declarative language for configs?

I've observed that any kind of "mode" that isn't extremely clear, visually is terrible for these sorts of folks (and, as with most things that give them trouble, are really terrible for everyone, we're just better at working past it than they are). Tabs that aren't extremely visually clear will leave these users "stuck" on the wrong one without realizing there even are tabs; filters or searches that don't make it super clear that you're "in" a filter or search will make them wonder where the hell all their stuff went, that kind of thing.
I wouldn't know, I never entertained the idea trusting Google to host my photos, but this whole thread where people are seemingly hurt by the software they use felt very cringy to me. It's very much not normal.

And of course it's not about just this feature. My comment is more general than that. I took excuse from this one example to encourage people to take back control on their computing because it seems important to me.

I'm am being so dramatic about this because this whole situation where people do not control anything feels alarming to me.

I understand that you like convenience. If it suits you, whatever floats your (and many people's) boat, I'm no one to tell you what to do. Of course Google is convenient. That's one of their strategy to build their monopoly.

I would not rely on Google for the backups, though. There are enough stories about people loosing access to their account over Google's whims. So that part is not solved, you still have to handle that, or pray but I'm not sure it really helps.

It's even worse in practice, given that the false positive rate is probably not independent between both measurements
I thought the concept of Epistemic Spot Checks was a great idea, so I was hoping that there might be some on the blog checking materials I had previously read so I could compare my intuitions with the author's hobby, but I didn't find anything.

Sure but some of us are just more extroverted and have better energy in the office. Also having a clean separation of work vs home context can be helpful, training the brain "this is work time"[1]

I think it's totally fair to point out if people are opting for the office just due to a lack of need fulfillment elsewhere in life, but don't think its wise to assume it's only that by a wide margin.

Hey Jerry!

I'll respond here so we don't have split threads :). I'm also quite familiar with at least the older versions of the node internals (I too maintained a popular db binding for a number of years) and I'm very confused by the way you're positioning the operation of the v8 vm in these 2 scenarios. Sure, the c++ is going to require you to do some sanitizing as you force your data into v8, but as we noted that's inevitable no matter how you slice it. After that though, even once in javascript land, you're still crossing these barriers constantly to allocate data and objects and memory, etc. You don't just end at 'parse in javascript', the virtual machine is going nuts calling into this same c++ codebase. Now maybe in some cases the v8 internals offer some advantages the generic c++ api can't access, but this argument isn't convincing of their existence so far.

My memories of the redis client is different than yours so I'd be quite interested to see those conversations / benchmarks. From what I recall those early advantages in the js redis client were similar to the ones we're seeing here, ie: better pipelining of commands.

As a simple thought experiment, in the scenario you're describing we should see a javascript implementation of a JSON parser to beat the pants off the v8 engine implementation, but this doesn't seem to the case.
Yes, the article seemed to be making two different points and got a little directionless as a result:

* Half of all women will get false positives - that's a lot, it's not great, people will think they have cancer and we should set expectations

* Despite the introduction of a newer technology to improve false positives (3D scanning) we've only improved the situation from 56% to 50%
Legal part: Very good point - I would have assumed from a first look-through of the repos that it's legally clear but IANAL nor German so it should be taken into consideration when choosing where to host.

Activity part: Given the popularity of the project and Codeberg seeming to be quite approachable, I would assume it would not be an issue.

And, a major point of federation is to facilitate a more traditional and decentralized workflow where a takedown at a single host is not too disruptive for the project.

Word on the street is a couple years back Palantir knocked a good chunk of SOCOM's intelligence capabilities offline for a few weeks.

Intelligence analysts like to use Communities of Interest "COIs" to keep track of things. These are kind of like wikis. A COI on the Middle East may have groups like Al-Qaida and ISIS, and people like MBS, and countries like Saudi Arabia and links between them. They can also have hierarchies, like "planes" split into "prop" and "jet" which in turn splits into "military" and "civilian," think decision trees.

One problem with these is they can take a while stand up. COIs need at least a few hundred objects in them before they can be useful. Palantir came along and said, "well, we can help stand them up with our AI."

They did their work, apparently didn't properly test it and just did things in production (maybe SOCOM doesn't have a dev environment, who knows?), and when they pushed run it created hundreds of thousands of objects throughout the COIs, with levels in the hierarchy that didn't make any sense. Like, imagine "747" falls under "Helicopter" which falls under "Cessna" which is under the "Nation" category.

It took weeks for SOCOM to rebuild things. I'm not sure if they had problems with backups or maybe they didn't properly have things backed up.

I would not have guessed that the statistics are _that_ bad.

That's a foundational problem for practically everyone involved in the creation of apps, software, websites, remote controls, ATMs, car consoles, etc. We make assumptions based on a very small sample of friends and peers, or extrapolate from the work of successful devs/designers/creators that a certain interface convention must be the right way to do it. We end up with hipster designs and frustrating interfaces that do a great disservice to a large portion of the population.

I posted this in the earlier "hamburger vs sausage icon" thread, but it's worth repeating: I am now my de facto tech support for two families (my own and my parents). I suspect many other HN users are in the same spot.

Every week I get calls or emails from my parents requesting help figuring out something that's not obvious from the UI, is accidentally triggered by users, deliberately activated (by the app) during a software update, or buried deep in some settings or submenu. This week's selection includes:

- Turning off yet again the annoying computer voice announcing any navigation or volume change on my parents' new Samsung TV (accessibility option, not sure why it turned on, but it required me visiting their home in person again to turn it off)

- Trying to help my father disable the "get Outlook for iOS" line that suddenly started to be appended to the bottom of his work emails.

- Helping my spouse troubleshoot a Shopify app feature that prevents >1 item being subtracted from inventory at a time

- Figuring out how to enable a social media save shared photos to her phone's photo album

- Explaining to my spouse that the three dots icon will show the remaining part of a truncated gmail message.

Yes, sometimes software is so complicated and feature rich these items have to buried deep in the settings. But often I find that the lack of obvious text labels for basic features and navigation items is the problem. Hamburger menus and the three dots "more actions" icon are a poor substitute for clear text labels and links.

> Here's a fun one. So we decide to run the test twice. And AGAIN it comes up positive. What are the odds that it's a false positive? Again, the exact same logic holds - there are 101 people we are testing. There will be about 1 false positive and about 1 real infection. So the odds of it being a false positive once again are about 50%.

This conclusion assumes that running the test twice is equivalent to running two independent tests for the same condition. For many real tests, getting a false positive once predicts a higher chance of getting another false positive in a repeated test.
Tracking down a rehabber is far less effort than raising a wild animal.

Are the bribes being directed by MS US or are these things taking place in overseas offices where customs are different? One example was Hungary --I imagine Ukraine and Nigeria too would have executives there who are part of the local culture where they do things differently.

While the actions go afoul of US law, they may be in line with local customs culture and practices --that is harder to root out as now you are trying to change another culture (cultural imperialism as it was called).

If this is being directed from the US, then it's easier to root out.
We are social creatures, there is something quite unnatural only interacting with your wife/kid or worse - with no one else at all, for weeks and months.

Offices are significantly less 'natural' than spending time with a small group of people. If you go back a thousand years or so many people lived their entire life within a mile or two of where they were born - they grew up, worked, got married, lived and died in a single village. In lots of more isolated cases people would have only met a couple of hundred people in their entire lifetime.

It's definitely unusual to lead such a limited life today, but psychologically it's not that bad. People survived pretty well, and they continue to now.
With that sort of executive experience becoming a “straight” programmer seems like a bit of a waste. Much better to pick up skills that augment his experience than to make a full pivot. Some form of consulting makes more sense in my head. There remain many problems for many businesses that can be solved by fairly simple automation or low end data science/analytics, but the hard part is identifying the problem and mapping to a solution.

Others have suggested various data science programs. To that I’d add picking up basic app design/prototyping skills and a low code/no code framework like PowerApps or going deep on an extensible platform he’s familiar with like SalesForce or SAP.

Platforms like that can enable him solve the business problems he’s uniquely suited to identify and understand, rather than competing with a 38 year old with 20 years of experience trying to solve obtuse technical issues.

> "The proposal is stable, but not finalized"

Is "stable" now a negative thing? I don't understand. If you are referring to the "document lifecycle" at the side of the XEP, and the "Final" status there... "Stable" is the "widespread adoption" stage. "Final" is a dead-end status that means the extension is frozen. It's rarely used for extensions that are actively in use until they are beyond updating.

> "13 years is a long time to wait for a solution (iPhone debuted in 2007, got apps in 2008)"

This extension was created in 2014, and implementations were already performing traffic optimizations (using other non-standard methods) before then (which is why we decided to standardize it).

> "Plus however long it takes for implementations to adopt this"

It's already adopted, implemented and deployed. You can see deployment stats at https://compliance.conversations.im/test/xep0352 - as for the handful of servers there that don't implement it, on investigation these tend to be private, abandoned or special-purpose servers.

> "Plus whether they adopt it at all, since this is a protocol extension and not a protocol requirement. The XEP requires client-server cooperation, which means the clients and all servers the user connects to have to implement this to see the benefit."

As I said, it's already implemented and adopted in clients and servers. It has been a requirement in the XMPP compliance suites for years (for reference, latest is here: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0459.html#mobile ).

All in all, your comment seems to contain a lot of unfounded scepticism and negativity. This problem is solved, since a long time :)

To the contrary, without intent the statement is meaningless. Inherent in Colbert's quip is the perception, "atheists have a lot of nerve," and from the mouth of a believer, this is plainly derision. This is well-supported by further statements Colbert has made, such as "atheism, a religion dedicated to its own sense of smug superiority." This is not praise or respect, but obviously contempt instead.

Also highly recommended is Pyrahna (UK based with US manufacturing) and Dagger

https://www.pyranha.com/

Note these are not mass produced in the way wallmart kayaks will be, each one of them is individually finished by someone who makes kayaks all day every day and probably paddles them every day too, so you aren't going to compete on price. Kayaks used to be commonly sold through a dealer network, but that is changing now, partly due to competition from the mass produced, far east market.
