Ask HN: Explain Code App Coding Challenge
Hello HN,

The team at Tenably Labs is working on a new addition to ExplainCode.app.

A coding challenge created using GPT-3. You'll be given a series of coding challenges generated on the fly by GPT-3.

You'll be score on the solution you provide and be added to the score board to challenge our coders.

Your solution/Code will be grade on time to submit and the quality of the code submitted. The code must have the result expected of the challenge.

What do you guys think?

Cheers.
> Most of the personal email I send is to companies where I do expect and get responses, or to my family, or to mailing lists. I know family get my emails because they respond. I know companies do because they respond to support queries. I know mailing lists do because I see my messages in the list archives. I know there’s a good mix of receiving operators because I get DMARC reports etc.

Ok, fair enough.

> I don’t really care if my email ends up in spam folders as long as it does not get dropped on the floor entirely, but I genuinely do not get complaints where people have not received/can’t find their confirmation emails. I do practise good automated email hygiene (automatic removal when things bounce permanently, etc).

I care very much if my email ends up in spam folders. But if you're only talking about your email landing (in some folder), then sure, you convinced me.
I have been following OneDev and seems like it is going to be a good contender.

This is HN, so I feel free to nerd-pick: IBM was right about the coffee maker!

Really, consumer-grade coffee makers aren't intended to stay on for days at a time. You need commercial machines for that, all metal and glass, that won't be a fire hazard or have melting plastic. Some facilities have strict rules about that.
Mh... I'm a big fan of remote in general, mostly because I choose to live in a nice place, I have a nice home, nice surroundings etc things cannot exists in modern European cities and in cities in general BUT for young, people who can't and shouldn't already have their own family being together of almost the same age means being able to know each others, socialize, better exchange ideas, cementing relations etc. ALL those things can't be really done remotely.

In schooling terms I suggest the Idriss Aberkane "Libérez votre cerveau !" vision where he say a school is like a very rich buffet where when you arrive you are told: "you have to eat anything in a given time at a certain peace, we know you can because we design anything on standard human eating habits, you need to conform". Schools must not be like that, surely their main point is giving a certain set of common knowledge on various topics to from tomorrow mature Citizens, but aside they are also the first step toward the external world outside family. Remain inside, watching the world from remote, is just like watching an XXX movie instead of actually perform, not at all a good thing.

Once we have our own family, earned enough (well, or being rich enough anyway) to have a home, a stable situation than WFH is a godsend (unless you can't afford a good home or have family issues) but before... We are social animals. If we are able to craft a new society where we can have a local social life with enough variety of people around of our cohort like at a physical school and we can separate the studying part from that... Well, ok, I'm interesting in discussing it's design and see if and how can work but so far we do not have anything like that. Surely except for very remote/rural living humans we normally all have neighbors and them are from various age so someone of nearly the same age is likely there but that's typically far from the "high school"/"uni" diversity just in mere numbers, if we add in personal interests and culture terms...
> You do, however, typically need to set “low power standby” or whatever in the options somewhere - it’s usually not enabled by default

i had the opposite, i had to disable the low power standby (which was on by default) so i could wake it over the ethernet or via HDMI-CEC
Reminds me of an experience I describe as "two out of three doctors agree: you're not on fire".

(It was just a bit of body hair hit by an electrocauterizer that was smouldering, but two doctors in the room told me I was imaginging the heat and smell, while the third rushed to grab a cup of water).
That is absolutely hilarious! Well done MSFT crew.
Why wouldn't an average person in this community go to a CC?

I understand there's some stigma for community colleges but you can get a great education without getting anywhere near 200K. Won't be Ivy League though.

For example, Stony Brooks costs 10K in tuition per year for in-state residents.
I think real research in this regard is still rare. For one, because not many software solutions exists. But more importantly, performing research studies in schools tend to be difficult (as parents, teachers, the school, etc. have to agree to it).

One recent approach in Germany, I'm aware of, was teaching students with an online text book, that immediately offered feedback for exercises and provided other helpful tips. The software was used to enhance the traditional teaching, not to replace it.

All in all, students using it tended to perform better on exams, no matter how smart they previously were (though bad students were still worse than the good students using the software).

So all in all, it seems to be a viable approach.
> University is primarily about getting a degree to put on your resume.

If this were true, college giving programs wouldn't get funded. Here's how college giving works:

1. call up an alum

2. remind them what a great time they had during college

3. ask them if they would like a future student to have that kind of experience

4. take down the credit card number for a donation, because that's all it takes to get the wallets to open.

If college were really a credential mill, reminding people of their time in college wouldn't inspire them to open their wallets to give us money for nothing in return.
On (3), Kaiser seems to be the exception to this. Their systems, on the nurse/Dr side seem very easy to use and the connections between different departments work seamlessly. At least, from what I've noticed as a 10+ yr Kaiser patient in the Bay Area.
It's not exactly _hard_ on a new IP, as long as the IP is clean (which is reasonably simple to ensure, as long as your host isn't in the business of hosting spammers). You just have no reputation to start with, so you can't expect perfect deliverability from day one. But after some time (and we're talking weeks-to-months, not years), you'll be fine.
Lots of blame being placed onto the business managerial class that has turned hospitals and the practice of medicine into a nightmare a la Kafka, but I think that the casual brutality of the healthcare educational model deserves a ton of the blame for this burnout. The reaction to all emotional trauma is to bury it and place all the energy into negotiating for higher pay. Money cannot endlessly sit in the place of enduring suffering, and the professions (medicine, nursing, PA, etc) will continue to degrade in quality as long as this barbaric understanding of emotional health is encouraged in the educational institutions.
Please, read the paper or at least the abstract before commenting. The paper is not about "at-rest" devices; it's about inferences made from the audio stream of activated commands. Ie, it's about the depth of processing done on "hey Alexa" commands, not the breadth of data that's being processed by the device.

> Deploying web applications from GitLab to major cloud providers should be trivial.

Yes, that's what I want! I find it easy to develop web apps in Python, but a PITA to deploy them.
Pepsi and coke have differentiated their products. The generic brand cola does have next to 0 profit margins, big soda can charge more because they have a monopoly on their brand.
Incidentally, countries like Finland issue fines based on your income - and if you're rich, speeding nets you a cool six-digit fine https://www.boredpanda.com/finland-progressive-speeding-tick...

The US also believes in punitive damages, i.e. "We fine you $1000 for what you did, and then add $1000,000,00 because you don't really care about $1000"
> But moving to Jira for issue tracking and planning, and so far it's much nicer.

Wow, Jira being better is really damning. FWIW, there's a lot of competitors to Jira these days, and most of them are much better. We're using Shortcut, and it's been excellent.
I live in flyover country, and good tradespeople have all the work they want. They're turning down jobs that aren't highly profitable/easy.
>>4. RaDonda Vaught's conviction. This is certainly not helping the case to get more nurses.

The precedent RaDonda's conviction set is far from favorable to a profession which is already very difficult and taxing. This is a BIG reason.
Have you ever built a non-open source product using any open source libraries? Do you feel like you take advantage of the authors of those libraries?

I've never felt like I've taken advantage of others, and I also don't feel like that when others use my libraries to build products and earn money based on those products. If you're giving away software for free, you can't expect to make any money from it, because it's just that, free.

Your remark about in-state students really matches my experience at the university I went to. I can't think of anyone I personally knew who transferred out other than in-state students.
You're correct, I shot myself in the foot there. But can we agree that some people manage to successfully run their own email servers and some people don't?
Becoming a hedge fund is actually a bad idea if you are only after profits because it is unclear that over long-time horizon this is actually a very profitable activity. We only remember the winners.
Independent is often used as a weasel word ie: independent franchises. So sure the could be an independent distributor or whatever but that’s not actually independent as they would have a financial connection.

Remaining objective is of course possible even with financial ties, but the suspicion is going to taint people’s perception.
Not sure about Django but on the Node.js side there are Express.js compatible libraries that let you write your app like you would Express but it's exposed via Lambda and API gateway. Good chance Python has something similar. Biggest difference is you're not dealing with HTTP (directly) but it can be abstracted to -- from a framework perspective -- act like HTTP.
Can't tell much about India other than it has be similar situation. In Pakistan though, there is a lot of electric load shedding in summer in peak summer because high requirement. Load shredding means there won't be electricity around 8 to 12 hours a day to use electric fans or coolers or other stuff.

Also in rural areas and where people are poor, we have other means. We spend the day outside in shadow using hand fan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_fan#/media/File%3ABinch... then there is Ghara to cool the water. Also for water there is Nalka in villages to get fresh cold water from earth by hand https://republic-imagekit.azureedge.net/republic-prod/storie...
To sit/sleep outside in summer Charpai is used https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charpai

EDIT : Worst time in summer is when it's humid and air speed is 0 and no electricity. It feels like boiling inside and you can only shake so much hand fan to keep yourself cool.
In this form of analysis the capital-O Other has a specific meaning:

"The capital-O Other refers to two additional types of otherness corresponding to the registers of the Symbolic and the Real. The first type of Other is Lacan’s “big Other” qua symbolic order, namely, the overarching “objective spirit” of trans-individual socio-linguistic structures configuring the fields of inter-subjective interactions. Relatedly, the Symbolic big Other also can refer to (often fantasmatic/fictional) ideas of anonymous authoritative power and/or knowledge (whether that of God, Nature, History, Society, State, Party, Science, or the analyst as the “subject supposed to know” [sujet supposé savoir] as per Lacan’s distinctive account of analytic transference). But, as already becomes evident in Lacan’s first few annual seminars of the early 1950s, there also is a Real dimension to Otherness. This particular incarnation of the Real, about which Lacan goes into greatest detail when addressing both love and psychosis, is the provocative, perturbing enigma of the Other as an unknowable “x,” an unfathomable abyss of withdrawn-yet-proximate alterity (in his 1895 Project for a Scientific Psychology, to which Lacan refers repeatedly, Freud depicts this alterity in the guise of the Nebenmensch als Ding [Neighbor-as-Thing])."

I have been sceptical of online schools and will continue to be a sceptic. Khan Academy is one of the most competent organizations to try such a thing, but I deem the problem to be completely intractable.

In person learning is about learning from your peers as much as it is about learning from your instructors. People are quick to point out that the commonly occurring bad in-person instructor can be compared to online-learning. But, they leave out the fact that online-learning completely sidelines any prospects for peer-learning. I am not even bringing up the role schools play in socialization, physical health and as day-care. No amount of online-anything is going to replace that.
The free market healthcare system in the USA worked great up until regulations pushing out mutual aid societies completely changed it. Costs were affordable for everyone.

Even when using real translators, there have been issues political speeches. I don't remember the exact context but at the height of the Cold War there was a meeting at the UN and the USSR representative said an idiom that was meant to be treated as "we (communism) will outlive you (capitalism)", but is more literally translated as "we will bury you" which tends to have a different connotation in English.

Edit: It was Nikita Khrushchev at the Polish Embassy with Western ambassadors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_will_bury_you
How do you manage a dynamic IP? Do you whitelist the entire subnet? If not, do you update the DNS records every time the IP changes?
You can, I do. It's really no problem.

You do have to make a bit of effort to setup DKIM, SPF etc. But really it's not too difficult.
> People in Stockholm seem about as attractive to me as the people I see in the US in NYC.

I live elsewhere in Scandinavia and although I sometimes have a feeling the people are more attractive here than in the states as a general rule, I think it's actually that I have a preference for the local fashion. I tend to like Pacific Northwest fashion as well, and there are some similarities.

However, people in Scandinavia also generally walk a lot more than their US counterparts (since European cities are built for walking and American cities are generally not) so I find it plausible that they're more fit on average. I don't know if NYC is unusually walkable for an American city.
Thats fair. The ones i mostly listen to are David Sacks, Antonio Garcia Martinez and Glenn Greenwald. I am so so on Greenwald tbh. The formats are mostly the same though, they are usually a topic based discussion or standard interview and at the end the open for questions. So its kind of like your standard recode interview or Ted style interview. Its less like clubhouse where it just feels like an awkward discord channel. I do agree, i dislike the clubhouse format and the meandering multi person conversations that dont have a direction
Why when they get paid/further protected by it?
If somebody starts monetizing their (A)GPL'd fork of my code, they're now the maintainers of what will likely become the more widely used fork.

I add functionality I want. If someone else wants functionality I'm not interested in, they can either do it themselves, or pay me.

A more appropriate title would be, "Corporate greed led to more fully preventable human death than any war". One man's discovery of lead additive to gasoline could have been and should have been reversed, but oil companies fought tooth and nail to keep their profits regardless of the catastrophic human cost.

All that complaints look similar to the idea that veganism is bad because vegans are annoying or that quantum mechanics is nonsense because some people believe in quantum healing.

I can name one field that justifies all IQ research that was and will be done: education. It has immense value there and can help guide policy on the issues of education and all related concerns such as discrimination.
It's even better. You can send yourself to cool places :)
Absolutely, dust can be a huge hazard in this regard. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion

This is one reason firefighters hate going to calls in situations where fine particles of highly combustible dust is common (grain elevators, etc.) - because the threat of an explosion is very high.
Also look into TESU
They are looking into getting nurses from the Philippines and Africa. Works for the UK maybe but there's a huge language barrier for the rest of Europe.

Besides they need their health workers too.
Interesting to see such polarizing opinions on education in the comments. The value of education is a mix of learning, credentials, and socialization - and the experience is different for each student. WGU makes a lot of sense for working professionals.
> In case you run your web app in a containerized stack, and prefer to deploy to Kubernetes, the integration with the Agent for Kubernetes has been greatly improved: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/

I've never used Kubernetes, but have seen it described as a PITA to set up and use, which is why I'm not keen on it.
By that line of reasoning, capitalism produced Social Security and communism is produced Alibaba.
As a pure swag, assume 2k/month outside the us and 5k/month inside the us as insurance for old farts is $$ and things like dental, glasses, meds, … might not be covered under typical insurance. Once you’re not on work provided insurance, things like travel insurance becomes a concern. If a partner wants to work, use that as a source of insurance in the us as long as possible. Not needed outside, really.
I knew what I was getting into - It'd be silly to blindly accept an offer. My general cost-benefit analysis was that if it turned out to be a horrible experience, at the very least I'd have Amazon on the resume. It actually turned out to be a great experience, despite the issues I mentioned.

Also, behemoth companies like Amazon cannot possibly be generalized.
Something that should always be considered is US healthcare is an expensive nightmare. Public healthcare is a HUGE benefit that I think a lot of outside of US people underestimate. (And no, nurses don't get free healthcare from their hospitals. They have the same terrible insurance everyone else gets).

For example, I have to pay $9000 a year BEFORE my insurance starts covering healthcare costs. (at $5000 my insurance starts paying out and I owe 10% of the bill). My insurance does not cover medicine costs at all.
For the overwhelming majority of the world they are perfect. Even in high latitudes, they might only reach those extremes for a few days in a year, that's when you would require a backup.

Losing efficiency is fine since they are so ridiculously efficient to begin with.
Married to an RN and absolutely sympathetic to the staffing/pay plight they're currently facing. I'm unfortunately not very familiar with the case of Michelle Heughins, but I've heard a lot of the RaDonda Vaught case. The high points of the case as I understand them:

* Vaught stated her department was not understaffed, nor was she tired. The incident also occurred in 2017, so pre-pandemic

* Vaught went to dispense Versed (generic name midazolam) by the brand name, instead of the generic name as they're trained to do. This led to her selecting vercuronium bromide instead

* Vaught stated she had dispensed midazolam several times before, which would have had to have been by the generic name

* Vaught ignored several warnings from the dispensing machine stating the patient was not prescribed vercuronium bromide

* Vaught ignored the red cap on the vial dispensed that stated it was a paralytic agent

* Vaught ignored that vercuronium bromide needed to be reconstituted with sterile water (unlike midazolam, which comes as a liquid). She stated she thought it was odd that she didn't have to reconstitute it before when dispensing the correct medicine

* Vaught did not scan in the medication before or after giving it to the patient, which would have likely prompted another warning about it not being prescribed

* Vaught could not recall exactly how much she gave to the patient

* Vaught immediately left the room after injection, and did not wait to observe the patient for any side-effects

All of this information is available in the DA discovery documents (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6785652-RaDonda-Vaug...) and the CMS report (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5346023-CMS-Report.h...).

The opinions on the case I've observed have been nurses who aren't aware of this and saying she should not have been convicted, and the nurses who are aware who think the conviction is fair ...ish. The latter is at least unanimous she should have her license revoked.

Most agree that Vanderbilt should be held responsible for negligence as well. My wife's hospital for instance does not stock _any_ paralytics within machines, to prevent it being accidentally dispensed without involving the pharmacy. There's also evidence that Vanderbilt tried to cover the incident up.

I've made a point of stressing to any RN I've talked about it with the importance of having a lawyer with you when talking with investigators. Vaught straight up incriminated herself multiple times during her initial interview.
„The Little Schemer”?
The capability to do something like that already exists in Linux, just nobody bothers to implement it at the application level because pledge and unveil are actually just more terrible hacks and are only really suitable for packages that are built into the system. In real syadmin-land, nobody wants to recompile applications just to change some security settings.

Furthermore any of these things that are bolting more ACL or ACL-like restrictions onto Unix permissions are bound to eventually end up with the same problems as SELinux.
It really depends on the domain. HPC is more frequently SOA (think CSR sparse matrices), while AOS may make more sense in other cases.
> The WWII generation fixed the ozone hole, but their kids didn’t lift a finger for global warming.

Let's not pretend these are comparable challenges.

When people say stuff like this, are they being hyperbolic or do they actually mean it? How long is the democratic tradition in the US that is collapsing?
> when the IP range it's on becomes greylisted in UCE-PROTECT -- which happens every so often

This is a common complaint with Linode specifically, but probably fairly common with low-cost virtual server providers in general. It's worth looking into the history of your IP before you start using it to host mail, and if it's feasible, shelling out for a dedicated server (ideally from a provider that doesn't also offer virtual servers, or has enough network separation between them) makes it much less likely that your neighbour is a spammer. Mine's never been on UCE-PROTECT.
I read the article and still don't understand what the new logo is. Did they just round the sides? Is it the start frame of that animation, with the ∞ symbol?
