I see.

I assure you, this is not my or someone else's homework assignment.
Neither am I doing it on someone else's behalf.

Perhaps I was a little vague declaring my intentions. The rationale behind this submission is "going backwards; make it fail, so you see the weak spots more clearly". This, if I am not mistaking, is a company evaluation strategy.

I worked at McDonald's during my university years as a simple assistance. That was years ago.
Then, I glossed over the financials and how they currently operate. I am not confident that McDonald's will survive 1-2 decades from now.
They have debt, and they improve marginally, if at all. The business model is old-fashioned.

In retrospect, I do agree, however, that my presentation and formatting, failed.
Or maybe, this is just not a good submission at all.

I am sorry for that.
I mean just the food, but yes housing has actually tripled in last 5 years.
What I'd really like to yell at those people: "if you don't like to see windmills on the horizon, how about a coal mine instead?" - maybe a windmill is the lesser evil after all...
Oh man, I did something similar in class. In 4th grade (+/- a year). whitehouse.com (I don't know what it is now, but it was a porn site) instead of whitehouse.gov.
People outside the us know the answer to this. People inside the us also know the answer. It’s just that the answers totally differ. It’s a conservative country seeing the rise (again) of an isolationist, Protestant and anti-immigrant view of life. Unless some external agency appears forcing unanimity on government I would expect the two populations of the us to start litigating themselves apart over the next 5-20 years.

Who can and can’t do things, and who pays the bills will be the cause.

International Research Conference on the History of Computing
> Embedded programming is, unfortunately, only suitable to a handful of languages that can operate with high speed and low memory use.

There are plenty of applications where the performance or resource needs aren't great and the number of units being produced aren't sufficient to justify the marginal savings on a microcontroller. Then there are situations where it may be desirable to make it easy for multiple people to go in and modify a program on a regular basis, where languages like Python tend to be clearer at communicating intent since the low level implementation is handled by the language. (While you may be able to provide high level abstraction in languages like C, you cannot abstract away all of those details in C.) Of course, Python also provides an REPL. That can remove the need for developing your own command language for managing the device.

For some reason this feels like the same argument I had to present for the opposite situation, pointing out that sometimes optimized C or assembly code were necessary since there were cases where it is more cost effective to use microcontrollers that offered bytes of RAM or non-volatile storage. This is especially true when something is developed once, widely deployed, never modified, and does not need to be managed.

As with anything, it depends upon your application.
What exactly is your rationale for ‘gay everything in your face’ being grouped with ‘obvious hard core drug use’ in your description of modern times?
Whatever the history might be, I cannot label legislation that Republicans lockstep voted against and Democrats voted for as Republicans. And that Republicans have tried to dismantle ever since it was passed by Democrats. Even Romney would not pass as a Republican now, and definitely not anything that came out of Massachusetts in mid 2000s.

And certainly, if Repubs had control of Congress in 2008, they would have never passed ACA, or any other broad wealth transfer mechanism like it.
I mean, homeless people freeze to death if they stay in places like MA - is it really hard to think that CA with a far more temperate climate would see more homeless people?
"The computer was not flying it. ...
the computer was forcing it to crash instead."

Sounds to me like the computer was in fact in control of the plane if it causes it to crash. The "computer" is the MCAS system that sits between the pilot and the actual control surfaces. This is a fly by wire aircraft.

Yes they could have turned the MCAS off and had it fly ok... if they even knew it existed. Although they weren't trained on the different flight characteristics they would experience with it off either.

"with the computer entirely powered off, the plane would have flown just fine."

Just to be clear, if you had a total computer failure or power down, a fly by wire aircraft could not function. I assume you are only talking about the MCAS.
I'd say 50% of it is manual work.

Well, no you don't have to vote with your dollars, you can vote for free. Which I think is the better solution, especially for people who have no choice for voting with their dollars, ie poor people.

They persuaded a vulnerable person not to receive medical care. There's no mental dance you can do that will make that ethical to me. He wasn't being arrested or harassed, he was being offered care.
Also: no comments in JSON. This makes self-documented config files difficult to create and maintain.
What is even more bizarre to me, is that:

1. Wind turbines look really slick in my opinion

2. These people don't complain about power transmission pylons, which are uglier to look at!
This is probably a correct take but not really immediately actionable. It's up the the residents of the city to decide they want to change their neighborhoods. And most new construction ends up market rate which takes a while to free up housing supply for the affected group (which is at the bottom of the market.)

I'm a yimby fwiw, but as new york has shown you can have both density and an affordability issue—density isn't a a cure-all.

And what's perhaps most annoying is that certain minority activist groups also actively block new development. The mission hasn't been developed much, but it's not for lack of trying.

Putting "gay-everything in your face at every corner" next to "obvious hard core drug abuse on the sidewalks" could be misconstrued as homophobic, which I hope wasn't your intention, especially during pride month.

Too bad. I used it occasionally and was happy to still have uBlock Origin.
What is being tried to be said is that it is much harder to find a BSD person than it is to find a Linux or Windows person.
They also push features down into lower cost tiers pretty regularly.

I don’t think either of your statements is true.

In fact, I think that gitlab’s very open development process is a strong reason to recommend them over available alternatives.
Dont think of price, think of cost per use
I don't see how that's worse. If you make such a good connector that it should replace all currently used charger ports, there should be a requirement to allow users to give them the time to switch. To not cause untold costs to poor people who can't afford to switch. Interim solutions provide value to society. And laptops aren't bigger phones.
> Hugo vs. Jekyll

They both work and it's unlikely that either will limit you. Just pick one (I recommend flipping a coin) and go.
Oh look, a proper usage of the term "bare metal"!

BSD also somehow lost the embedded and appliance market where GNU is nowhere to be found. (Yes, we all know of the two or three exceptions like PlayStation and a couple of NAS vendors, which just proves the point.); that is harder for me to understand. Is the driver support and more widespread knowledge of the Linux kernel to blame for that?
To be perfectly fair, as someone who had a suicide attempt in SF and was held under a 5150 at SF general, what came after the attempt was much, much, much worse than the attempt itself. Inpatient mental health treatment and healthcare in SF in general is abysmal and horrifying. Myself, along with what felt like half of the homeless population in SF, was put in a large gymnasium filled to the brim and given a 1/2" foam cot for 72 hours with no water, food, treatment, access to a phone, or access to counsel. It was much worse than being arrested, especially for someone who had just suffered a mental break.

I made two mental notes. One, if I ever got to that point again, not to fail, and two, if I did try, definitely not to call 911. They aren't your friends.

The movie depiction of gently waking up in a sunshine filled private hospital room with your family there waiting for you to support you after a failed suicide attempt could not possibly be further from the truth. You wake up in literal HELL ON EARTH and immediately wish you had succeeded and regret calling 911.
OSS is definitely not the right thing for end applications to use, I fully agree here, but what's wrong with OSS as a kernel API, compared to ALSA?
Yeah, but no.

Having a graph for metadata feels overkill. I'd rather opt for key-values, like ID3 or EXIF.

The French expression "usine à gaz" comes to my mind: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/usine_%C3%A0_gaz
Do you live in San Francisco or do you just post when there's a story about it? Seems like everyone in the country has an axe to grind against the city - has been that way for sometime. I'm just pointing out the consistent anti sf narrative in US media.

That said thanks for your insightful comment.
It's not too wrong to say Safari is the new IE being the anomaly of all.
"AI powered" is an odd phrase to me, but something can certainly have the outward appearance of AI, IMO. It's the same as how a certain configuration of atoms can be "living" or a certain combination of letters or colors can be "art." So, too, can the behavior of some code and data resemble "intelligence" but, sure, it's still "simply code" under the hood.
At 30,000 feet, isn’t ai at the moment just pattern recognition? The interesting and probably dangerous bit is that the humans can’t always predict what comes out.
>I am not outraged. I am annoyed. I come to HN to see technical or interesting discussion. Not to see a support/whiner group who don't like Netflix/Spotify recommendations. Or why Google shut down Google reader for that matter.

So, downvote it and move on to something you actually find interesting.
> Is there anywhere in the country that you think is an actual poster child for progressive ideas implemented well? Colorado and Massachusetts come to mind as possibilities.

I don't know of any one place that does a great job. Different places have tried different components of progressive policies, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. Like Salt Lake City isn't overall progressive, but it's done a good job building housing for homeless people. Berkeley has a reputation for being more legitimately progressive than SF, but I haven't looked into the details on that and I'd bet there are still serious issues. Massachusetts and Colorado have done well at some things. And at least SF, like Massachusetts, makes health care relatively accessible even to poor people.

> The unaffordable housing problem is not just because of NIMBYs. It's also because of a lot of regulation in general including endless environmental reviews that add tons of cost and uncertainty to housing development. When you increase the up-front cost of building anything by tacking on a bunch of compliance and regulatory requirements, you bias the market heavily toward luxury high-end developments in which the builder can recoup the cost. You can't build affordable housing in a high-cost environment because it doesn't deliver the margins.

Agreed. And it's tough because you do want environmental reviews and building codes, especially in an earthquake zone. But Cali in general definitely goes overboard on these and other red tape. Also the land is expensive, labor is expensive because the workers need to live in or near SF, etc.

And SF has rent control. This is sort of a progressive policy, and it's basically the only way that less-than-rich people can still afford to live there, but it also skews the market and makes the remaining places even more expensive.
Having had lived there for 3 years, it’s worth having the discussion. SF could be a fantastic place to live but the state that the city is in is abhorrent. Despite the weather not being as great, NYC is an infinitely better place to live and I couldn’t be happier having made the move.
One thing I think TypeScript is missing (on the server at least) is a Laravel-like (in that it covers everything, not it's exact style) framework. I'll be interested to keep an eye on this.

I wish it had serverless support but I know that's a whole other beast, I have really enjoyed the majority of my typescript on serverless work and would love a formal framework instead of what I've cobbled together.

It looks like they equate Satanists with the Cure fans. I'd feel slightly offended but it doesn't seem close to me and besides, boys don't cry.
So there is no wealth centralization in BTC or ETH?

Oh wait, most mining operations are in the millions of dollars range, nevermind the fact that 84% of all BTC is held by .3% of addresses with > 100 BTC...
That's my point, you can't simply compare the energies like this.

It's not really any different, I could point to any number of articles making the exact same arguments against NYC as any other city, SF included.

The same articles saying how rampant drug use is on public transit exist for Seattle, SF and NYC with the only difference being the city names.
It definitely used to be the case that if one navigated to the .com domain then currency was in USD (even if within AU)

The .com.au domain was in AUD by default. I don’t believe there was a modal to redirect Australian visitors to the appropriate domain either.
Why this looks like another idiotic wind farm spamming, without any plan for other sources of energy. Because, you know, you need other sources.
> Maybe it still is, someone just accused me of being "far-right" for the thought-crime of questioning Pfizer's profiteering, lmao.

Well, no, you accused yourself of that; they just played along.
Using wokism and progressivism interchangably, as you do in other comments, is a mistake.

You also agree with other people down the thread to "look outside the US". Well, there are cities and countries with real progressive ideals that are operating quite well for their citizens.

I believe reforms to better care for the homeless and the addicted, to provide better social safety nets, requires a host of changes and may need to be done at a scale higher than a city.

That all said, it does seem SF has fucked up in ways that need backed out or tried a different way.
Sure, the SFPD should absolutely be judged if nothing changes despite a new DA, and obviously, especially if it's clear that it's because they are the ones dropping the ball.

And the new DA should likewise be judged. District Attorney is at its core a political job, and being able to win over/beat an antagonistic bureaucracy is one of the requirements.
"And no amount of training is a reasonable substitute for the autopilot with a habit of nosediving"

If they would know that the system even existed then maybe they would have known how to disengage it.

Yes, the design was flawed. Even then, you train for equipment failures because everything can break. It's hard to do that if your not even told that the MCAS exists.

The training aspect still squarely places blame on Boeing and the FAA for crearing/approving a design that didn't mandate additional training.
> If states fail to meet the targets by certain deadlines, the government will wave regulations on the minimum distance between residential areas and wind farms.

That sounds like a way to make lots of people hate wind farms.
You're forgiven, so don't worry about it, but you didn't upset me.

I was just providing more evidence about my reasoning that the use of counterexample via substitution really does go as far back as ancient Greece, why that still applies to modern people and explaining why it seems more plausible to assume the original poster was employing a refutation technique than to assume otherwise.
> Soma and fidi are in shambles

Nah. SoMa is exactly the same as it always was, fidi is just quiet but otherwise also unchanged.
Yeah, what we need is more police state!
Sorry for the delay. Disclaimer: I turned the thesis in already but I'm still waiting for my supervisor's feedback. So it might be completely wrong and has not been reviewed until now.

The thesis itself can be found here: https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/mast...

Some groundwork I built upon: "SensorBuster: On Identifying Sensor Nodes in P2P Botnets" https://git.vbrandl.net/vbrandl/masterthesis/raw/branch/mast...
There are a ton more ways that very basic APIs and services can present to the user and to their programs, meaning far more ways for things to break. Way more possible combinations of not just version, but even which library or program is providing some capability.

The closest thing to a solution is picking one of the two big desktop environments and targeting that to give you some amount of consistency and stability, but it's not like people will only run your program in that DE (again, possibly not even in the same window server you developed on) so you may end up with bugs when e.g. your QT/KDE program runs under Enlightenment, plus a ton of basic stuff can still vary a lot even if you restrict support to one DE (think: audio daemon) which may affect all kinds of things in unexpected ways.

> GUI heavy application like chrome, firefox or openoffice run on all districts without any hiccup!

Ever seen a thread full of people exchanging advice on how to get these programs not to exhibit certain widespread glitches on Linux, many of which have been a problem for years? Thinking especially of things like tearing, or multimedia playback problems. They even crop up here on HN from time to time.
I wrote the article and I would disagree with you. The article that I wrote is a summary of three blog posts actually a series written by Twitch on their live streaming module. It isn't a copy of just one article.
I don't think Siri is behind from Apple's perspective, because it has different goals. From a user perspective, Siri doesn't do as much, that's clear enough. However Siri is predictable, the others are creating an uncanny valley where it does more but you never quite know what or how.

Apple has been consistent in signaling that they want to push as much AI to the device as they can, for example on-device speech recognition was a heavily promoted milestone. That approach is broadly incompatible with using one enormous cloud model to provide rich interactions.

I think the goal for Siri is to become a better and better decision tree, rather than a conversation-driven knowledge engine like Google and Amazon have. I support that, I have actual humans to talk to and like that my interactions with Siri are based on simple phrases which do something and don't bottom out in a Google search or (yuck) a pitch to buy some service.

Addendum: Siri does bottom out on a search of the web, yes, what I mean is that Siri encourages use patterns (at least for me) where this basically never happens.
I didn't really want to get into the specifics of the article, since I believe the entire analysis is fundamentally misguided.

But I think the article's specific claims about image recognition (they use the example of identifying pictures of cats) are completely false:

- The article claims models must be retrained from scratch if they are to identify cartoon cats instead of real cats. This is absolutely false and transfer learning is old hat by machine learning standards.

- The article cites the fact that an image recognition model "requires many weights and lots of multiplication", as an example of inefficiency, as if human brains don't encode trillions of weights in the connections between their billions of neurons.

- If AI models could only identify a few hundred photos per hour, this would undoubtedly be used as evidence of inefficiency. By the same token, if we consider the cost of training amortized over the subsequent cost of image identification, image recognition models are are far more efficient at scale than humans, even if we grant massively overstated estimates of training costs.

- All humans must go through an incredibly expensive, labor-intensive training process, before which they will completely fail to reliably identify a cat.

- Humans required billions of years, the death and suffering of trillions of organisms, the terraforming of an entire planet, and vast amounts of energy to run a stupidly inefficient Monte Carlo "pretraining" phase.

I can't help but come away with the feeling that I've been trolled. They managed to pick image recognition, an area where efficient AI models approach or exceed human performance, to prop up an absurdly myopic comparison that wouldn't make sense even if they got any of the details right.
What really "killed"[0] Perl were two main things:

1) PHP: Perl is great for general text processing, but it has warts that really bother people who aren't used to the language. PHP is slightly better for working with HTML (because it is designed for the purpose). While I think PHP's warts are worse, they tend to more bother people who are used to the language. This dynamic will tend to cause PHP to take new users that would otherwise go to Perl.

2) It's hard to overstate how profoundly alien the mid-90's/early-2000's were in terms of web software. In particular, proprietary tools were everywhere, and were just believed to be better for some reason. ColdFusion, ASP, and JSP all saw a ton of use (remember, the JVM was only beer-free at the time). The free software tools were comparatively scarce. There were zero notable free software web browsers until 1998 when Netscape was open-sourced. Even Windows ran on most of the servers. LAMP wasn't even coined until 1998[1]. Perl just wasn't established enough before Ruby on Rails and AJAX took over.

That second point is closely related to what you said, though.

It took me a bit to come around to windmills, but I got used to them. It would be pretty tragic if the landscape was homogeneously windmills though (of course, if that's the only way to stave off climate change, so be it).
Nice appeal to authority. And I'm not the one going "you think you do, but you don't" - the playtesters told him his core gameplay loop wasn't fun, and he ignored them.

'A Short Hike' has a meta-critic score of 88 while 'Cozy Grove' has a 72, and while game reviews are generally fairly bad, that's a large margin. I'm not sure how beneath him Hike is.
