I feel like you're comparing apples and oranges.

I love Numberphile, but they work best as an exposure to new concepts. I'm not watching Numberphile to help me with my statistics homework, I'm watching to be introduced to the concept itself in a relatively entertaining way. It's closer to recreational math than a learning aid.

On the other end, I find KA videos to be a bit dry, but are useful when I need help with a specific concept in statistics or calculus or something.
I have to fill out two timesheets in separate systems. What the fuck, 2022? I would have expected society to move beyond timesheets at all in this millennium. But the bean counters always win.
Same experience. It is so hard to have a conversation about any of the security requirements with our security team because they have no idea what they are asking.

They only know to press some buttons and then send some reports.
oneliners are generally nicer for fast data exploration than one-off scripts. With a oneliner I can get started instantly, and build incrementally. With a one-off script my first step is boilerplate input handling.

Maybe a nice middle ground would be for more language runtimes to have an equivalent to perl's `-p` flag. https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun#-p

This flag is so convenient that I mostly use `perl -pe` instead of `sed` for regex search-and-replace.
There was definitely insecurity-related bullying. More so in elementary school because the teacher encouraged and participated in it; moving from class to class in high school also helped to minimize bullying compared to being in a room with the same kids all day long.

A lot of the difficulty came down to a lack of shared concepts. To me, partial derivatives are very natural concepts and I would get a few sentences into describing something in terms of partials before I remembered that I was talking to people who didn't even know what those were. (Ditto for differential equations, vector spaces, orthogonality...). Over the years I've learned to a limited extent how to convey ideas without drawing on terminology which most people aren't familiar with, but that has taken decades of practice.

I absolutely benefited from going to university early -- and I also benefited from staying in school. I only finished high school a year early, but spent 4 years taking high school and university courses concurrently. While I gained very little socially from high school, I had a couple excellent teachers there and learned some useful material in other subjects. I've met people who dropped out of high school to attend university full time who struck me as shockingly ignorant of e.g. history.
The efficiency is higher than input because the electricity is only used to transfer heat from one spot to another.
This is when the gas gets compressed, to get to the condensing stage at the high pressure. (+after burn for optimal efficiency)
Shh! Us Angular devs are working in obscurity on purpose. Have you seen the misinformation and library bloat that comes with popularity? Nothing to see here, go back to your React, kids.
> How do animals protect their habitat

Weaker animals get chased out, and their habitat destroyed or taken over by stronger animals. So your "answer" is violence?

What a great world you want us to live in. And one that we already have lived in, and a world in which some countries still live. Good luck finding money for protection rackets.
Over the course of a few years I spent a lot of time in a secure environment in a DoD facility to which I had to travel multiple times for a project. The environment, a maze of cubicles filled with computers, had been installed inside a historic building. For historic preservation reasons, the exterior windows were kept as built. For security reasons, there was a sheet of plywood painted white inside all of the windows. The building allowed no natural light to enter and emitted only a diffuse glow. It was a miserable place to spend long days, illuminated only by flickering fluorescent light.

We had some serious storms come through while I was there. A lot of the permanent residents went home. As I was a visitor and there just for as long as it took me to fix some problems, I was encouraged to stay and work late. I was assured that we would not lose power because the building had been recently equipped with a generator.

A storm came through and the building lost power. It was almost entirely pitch black in the building full of computers, which all went dark, fans and disks suddenly silent. A small fraction of the emergency lights came on. Most were in disrepair and never lit up. It turns out that in a secure environment, one has to make special arrangements to have someone inspect the emergency lighting. We heard the generator spin up. Still no computers, no lights.

In the darkness, one little nook came to life. This nook contained the coffee pot, microwave, and refrigerator. Apparently this organization considered only one piece of equipment important enough to be connected to the generator. We thereafter referred to it as the mission critical coffee pot.
Even after it was "broken", it took a lot of work to decrypt - sometimes allies were months the German messages.
Over time the use-cases will grow, and if done right you'll start being able to "borrow" from similar use-cases in other areas/governments.

It WOULD likely require massive retooling as much "government code" is more like "black box machine that does X" than "fancy new web-app".
"A lot of classes in CS require group work"

My general experience is that a lot of the time you will get people who suck or just don't care as part of your group.

"half the groups don't know how to code (mostly webapps),"

To be fair, the point is to be learning how to do that. Maybe there's a problem with the curriculum in your school where these individuals haven't had any guided instruction.

"for my final summer I have an internship at Google."

I'm sort of guessing, but maybe you are also a well above the skill average for the class.

So in summary, likely a bit of both - some people who actually suck, and that Mayne you are on a different level.
I mean as nice as this sounds, our money is spent on all sorts of things we know nothing about. Should we all be provided with the schematics for F-35s?
> Patients in COVID have become downright mean. Add this to the problems nurses have management and doctors (who are often rude and arrogant) and it's a poor culture.

So...this is also the biggest reason (besides lack of pay or basic human dignity) that restaurants and retailers are having a lot more trouble finding employees. Rude (and sometimes violent) customers were already an issue, but they've become absolute animals lately. It's increasingly bad for your own health, mentally and physically, to have any public-facing job. In the last few years, we've let go any pretense of expecting people to be civil and reasonable, and adult children are rewarded for their behavior instead of being trespassed.

Teachers are also quitting in droves (and in the middle of the school year, in some cases) for the same reason. Children are awful and the parents are worse. You risk sickness and violence, and are constantly harassed by parents. Then there's the whole attack on the curricula and book banning...

The FAA reported 1099 incidents with unruly passengers last year, up from a normal 100-300 in prior years. Because some sorts of people simply won't do what they're told...and disobeying flight crew instructions is generally a federal crime.

Everyone's increasingly overworked and underpaid, and they have to deal with degenerates like that daily. Of course they want out.

We're having a societal implosion.
That is all very fine.

If the instructions emitted and the instructions implemented both happen to match that, on every chip your code must run on, you got lucky.
For some subjects it seems that the issue is not level, but quantity of work. They don't want to be seen as letting students get away with less work.

Maybe there's also something of a resentment about them not being needed when they encounter an autodidact? I had problems with an AP chemistry teacher who was angry that I was doing the homework in class instead of listening to the lecture. When I said that I thought textbook had explained the topic quite well, her reaction was extremely negative. The existence of the autodidact sort of threatens the proposition of school itself.
South Carolina planes were getting flown to Washington before delivery to customers when I had a friend still working there. He was finding metal shavings in the fuselage of the plane, along with tools, nicked wires and such.

None of this should have made it out of the factory floor. Every crew that works on a plane has to certify (literally sign off a form) that when they worked on the plane they left it in good shape (no obvious defects, like metal shavings, tools left inside, etc). If the next shift comes in and finds dangerous debris or damage the prior crew should have noted, then the prior crew is required by the FAA to have a formal report written against them, as they have created a dangerous plane.

Management has applied heavy pressure to my friend repeatedly to not report these incidents, despite his legal obligation. Ultimately, he took a $25k hit paying back the Boeing relocation package and left after 10 months to work on repairing trains (which has been a significant improvement).
I think the real hn story here is definitely their original logo.
How is the book market huge, if there aren't any readers? Do you mean that books produced in the US are widely exported?
> And just to throw in a silly extrapolation... I would love an M109 Paladin tank... my tax dollars pay for them :-)

If they give you a tank they have one less tank to do stuff with but if they give you a copy of software they still have the ability to do stuff with the software.

There’s a whole bunch of software out there that has been open sourced by government agencies like nasa and you don’t see satellites falling out of the sky on a regular basis.
It makes sense to the $250k/year hospital chief bureaucrat (not a medical person) and the Pres. and board accept that the extra contractor pay is just short term.
>> even if the Boeing employees are the most knowledgeable about the planes, having them be under FAA "control" but Boeing pay seems counter-productive.

Yeah but after I read this:

>The FAA delegated an increasing number of tasks to a group of Boeing employees authorized to work on the agency’s behalf.

I first imagined a typical corporate group which might have turnover and I thought: What if the FAA delegated to individual people, so if Boeing fired someone for raising too much concern the role would fall back to the FAA? But yeah, its still a conflict of interest no matter how you do it.
My take: S3 buckets have an "air" or "impression" of being easy to "host" publicly available "things". It's even one of their selling points, IIRC. I.e. hosting a PWA/index.html website on a bucket.

FWIW "right to work" is the normal terminology.
Ignoring nature has its own "reward". Kill off wetlands, and you end up wringing your hands about where the ducks went. Kill off woodlands, and there goes deer hunting. Ignore airborne disease, gee, people die. Ignore climate, your biome changes, ... $GOD's will, eh?

"Science" has nothing to do with this. It's merely an attempt to understand, ideally explain what's happening. And no, it's not an opinion, although entertainers and pretty clothes on TV (mis)present it as such.

Maybe people never tried to think long-term, but they're certainly not thinking this way now. Better to see what the Kardashians/Trumps/whomever are up to and gee, should actors slap each other, ... The world is just a stage where people spend a few decades before Eternity so what the %@(&#%!. Thinking's hard, better to sit and have a brew and complain.

Common experience is that compilers, ABIs, and instruction implementations get ordinary struct fields right.
IIRC they actually can demand copies of the drawings/plans for their own records and use so that they can dig them up if the B-52 needs to be extended another decade.

This is only true if you leave out things like self respect
I assume in that bypassing the switch, it also bypassed the automatic shut off.

Coffee makers are relatively simple designs. They're basically hotplates with a one way valve underneath for the water.

Without the shut off, the thing would just keep getting hotter. And while heated glass will not catch fire, it can shatter violently. And those heated shards can then catch things on fire. And that's outside the fact that just faulty wiring can cause sparks and fire itself.
Git.io deprecation (updated: GitHub will make the service read only)
The first few years after the Salesforce acquisition were incredible - for quite a while I thought of Heroku as one of the best examples of an acquisiton where the product improved after the release.

Sad to see that momentum eventually fade away.
You still don't get it. I reject all of that. My point is that varying fees based on "deterrence" wouldn't necessarily lead you to charging rich people more. It could end up hurting poor people if someone makes the argument that they need more "deterrence". That's why its wrong and we should apply the law equally to everyone
Ohhhhhhhh it just dawned on me that when GitLab says "DevOps" – they aren't confusingly saying "terraform, etc" type DevOps (Developer/Operations tasks combined), which is actually what everyone else means.

I think they mean "the operations around running a development shop" ... like "Developer Operations."

Silly, but makes so much of their random language about DevOps actually make sense now.
> More likely, they're saying that 99% of people don't know how to self-host, and for 99% of the rest it's not worth the trouble.

Certainly way more than 99% of the general population wouldn't know how to self host, but within a techie population like HN, easily ~50% can be capable of doing it if they wanted to. Whether it's worth the effort is a personal decision, but there's a lot of value in owning your own email so I recommend it to anyone who's curious about it and willing to do it.

> Also, if you have to ask, then you shouldn't self-host it.

We should be encouraging curiousity (a HN value) not stomping on it.

If anyone asks, I say go for it. Worst case you'll learn new things, best case now you own your email.
We just had a candidate openly try to steal the last presidential election and face no real consequences as a result. In fact, it likely strengthened his position. 10 years ago I would have thought the end of American democracy was extremely unlikely, now though we're only a few small steps away and that bridge could be crossed at any point.

This isn't some outlier event either, democracy has been receding around the world for years. I really, really hope the trend reverses itself, but am scared at how real the threat is.
IE6 actually did have dev tools, you just had to install them as a separate package from Microsoft. They simply weren't that useful though.
nginx has a pretty decent security record, though.
Enforcing criminal liability for homicidal negligence is how you force respect of even basic safety requirements that already existed.

> Sort of like saying "Oh, that google dev makes $300k a year. How much more do devs in the US need?"

And the answer to that is "how much is Google worth?" If your business relies on the efforts of software engineers to design and build your primary products, they should have the primary equity in the company. So no, even Google developers aren't paid nearly enough...and they're certainly overworked, regardless of how much they make.
>> Management has applied heavy pressure to my friend repeatedly to not report these incidents, despite his legal obligation.

Yeah, the idea is to have management put pressure on the people who left stuff in bad shape. Shooting the messenger isn't the right answer.

If you use another states fiat, you will always be beholden to that state. If you use the native currency of the internet, Bitcoin, you are beholden to no state.

CAR has been exploited by its colonial parents for decades, they want less control over their destiny granted to others. By adopting Bitcoin, there are only a few simple things we agree on. 10 min blocks, 21M coins, valid blocks have a pow nonce that fits the difficulty equation, Blocks can only contain transactions that spend previously unspent outputs.

A good friend of mine couldn't get a single 3 day weekend approved (so one day of PTO) several months in advance.

Then I open my recruiter inbox and I see like 20 new B2C healthcare startups.

It really feels like the entire economy is designed to prevent problems being solved. Some people in healthcare are making massive amounts of money and the quality of life of everyone that performs the actual work has taken a nosedive when it was already a really crappy situation.
> However security by obscurity is a layer of defense...

In your example it would be the layer of defense. But then we still have to wonder who is the attacker? The assumption made on the web page is that the developer is the attacker. The obscurity then becomes a major issue rather than the defense.

Yes, we will have to pay what it costs and we will have to add extra developers. We all know the difference?

I could write any government app or software but it would be a slow process, it would be hostile to further development and the security of it would be laughable. But from the GUI you wouldn't notice the difference. Mine might actually be nicer.
You could also see it another way - nginx has to make money to fund further development. By taking features that are not critical to 90% of users, and making them paid features, you help ensure the longevity of the project. This could be a good thing.
Russia cutting off gas supplies to Poland,Bulgaria for refusing to pay in rubles
This isn't a problem that can be solved by an IT solution. Nurses have more patients assigned to them than what they can manage. They don't need another system of forms and workflows to fill out in addition to their overloaded plate. If anything, the solution is the opposite of an IT solution in that hospitals must hire more nurses and stop following the recommended lean-management staffing numbers provided by software.

> Gambits are countered. Lines are refuted. Unstable positions are quickly stabilized.

Again, the vast majority of players are not strong enough to even know any lines, let alone refute the endless variations that may be thrown at them. Unstable positions typically end in a blunder, or a simplification down to an end game. No matter how risk averse one of the players is, the other player usually has the power to change the nature of the game pretty easily. And at non-classical time controls (rapid, blitz, bullet, etc...) the game becomes extremely interesting at all levels of play.

> probably have little relevant experience

Or maybe they have 10x the experience you do, but it was different experience for reasons beyond their control. Don't over-generalize from a sample of one. That's hubris.
If I still owned a physical office, I would not want my facilities manager to inspect every coffee pot to determine the risk. I would make sure to provide the caffeine some other way.

In that same building there were some desks with fans because it was too hot and space heaters because it was too cold. (I saw this ridiculous waste of electricity in many facilities.) I don't trust most facilities to have good AC, ventilation, or wise inhabitants.
Most interesting is how snappy the thing looked, especially combined with compiz. Looks like we lost our way somewhere between 2008-2012 or these effects are really only impressive for a few hours. Nevertheless, I'm pretty satisfied with my desktop nowadays.
> by default has no sense of ownership.

Because they don't own anything. They're paid to enrich the requirements into software specifications and nothing else. It gains them absolutely nothing - so why would they ever feel any sense of ownership after the job is delivered and accepted?

The business relationship is predicated on them being disposable contract workers. At a minimum, a sense of ongoing engineering ownership requires an ongoing relationship predicated on trust and support - which requires ongoing financial support after the software project is 'completed' - which Boeing, in hiring contract workers, explicitly did not want to provide.

Given this, how can we seriously expect the engineers of an outsourced development shop, working under a piecework contract, to ever feel any sense of ongoing ownership?
But, you’d have an even harder time making that work with mask-and-shift macros!

It also doesn’t seem like something that would come up very often. I can’t think of the last time I conditionally stored to one of two struct fields, if I ever have.

The much more normal case would be:

val = choice ? a.x : a.y;

That one seems pretty straightforward from a codegen perspective.

I suspect that the risk of power strips/cords melting is substantially higher when you’re only on 110V compared to 230V.

While 110V might be less of a shock risk compared to 230V, I have to wonder how much of a difference it actually makes in practice, like how much less likely are to die from the lower voltage?

Because on the other hand, the lower voltage increases the fire risk.
You can do whatever you want. For a pull-based service, I have no problem with you posting things, but if you're sending to me, I make the rules and I'm not interested in prioritizing your freedom to send things over my freedom to not receive things.
A heat pump with a sufficiently powerful resistive preheater will be at least as energy-efficient in operation as the resistive heater alone, but it's also much more complex, with a correspondingly higher up-front cost and ongoing maintenance requirements. A resistive heater can consist of little more than a solid-state heating element, a blower fan, and a mechanical thermostat; radiative heaters can even dispense with the fan, which is the least reliable part of the system. A heat pump, by contrast, additionally involves pumps, heat exchangers, and volatile fluids under pressure, generally under the management of some moderately complex logic.
