In this case, this is absolutely true. All the requirements were well established and converting it was very quick because of it. But ultimately that doesn't matter because the reason the re-write was done was because the no-code solution failed in it's goal.

The process of developing this solution was funny. We had an absolutely fantastic team doing the requirements and the process was all agile except when it came to the tool itself. At that point, it turned into a waterfall project where everything had to be nailed down before the work was done.

I can mock up a application form very fast so there's really no need for a tool to do that every so slightly faster but in a proprietary and limited way.
MX Keys and very happy. Tempted to purchase their mech release.
Turner allegedly tried to sexually assault other people AT the frat house party. It’s also where they both consumed large amounts of alcohol (isn’t turner under age in the Us?).

Also, you argue that didn’t take place at the frat house but as far as I can tell, it took place behind a dumpster RIGHT next to house, and maybe still on the house’s property (hardly a couple of minutes walk away)

And, in response to your last point (“no one at the frat would have been able to observe the crime ”), he was literally stopped by two grad students cycling by.

Regardless, I agree with the other commenter — distinction without difference.
UO was one the buggiest online games ever made. There were so many problems: patch issues, they had to keep graphical compatibility between 2d and 3d clients, very bad game design problems, no proper testing of features etc.
Simply not true, re-quoting an above comment:

>Nicotine itself and on its own is relatively harmless to an ex-smoker.
Why is this meme so popular on HN? There's nothing 'harmless' about it, and a few minutes of Googling makes that incredibly clear. Even in the absence of tobacco compounds, nicotine unquestionably wreaks havoc on pulmonary and cardiovascular function, and promotes vascular calcification and arteriosclerosis. It's also implicated as a cause with a plethora of other horrible medical issues.
ok yeah this is the answer

This is really about economics. 100 years ago, having a kid produced more resources. 40 years ago, it was relatively close to neutral ("X no matter if you had kids"). Now, it's super strongly negative.
This raises a question: if the Russians were as incompetent in the military operations of this war as they seem to have been, then wouldn't it be safe to assume that they were just as incompetent in their cyber-operations so that any lessons learned from observing those are not all that useful?
After spending my entire childhood wanting to be a game programmer I had one short summer job at a big studio during my university years and was immediately put off by the terrible working conditions.

Years later I heard that there were good studios which treat you right so I left my job in surgical simulation and finally started as a game developer. That was seven years ago. It's tough at times but I haven't ever regretted it. There are plenty of good employers out there, these days.
Try to look at it without your inside knowledge of how it works. Think about a customer discovering this with no documentation.

Until you decide to ship a completely on-prem Tailscale server, ACLs mean nothing. They can be modified by the same rogue employee that added an SSH server that bypasses local firewalls to our environment without telling anyone.

I wonder if it's just because you're particular. I don't give two shits about any of those products, I just grab whatever. Thinking about it, I really don't care about any brands, so it's impossible for me to pick the "wrong" product. I don't have a preference.

By rough approximation, it's at least $1M per year in purely excess G&A costs to meet public company regulatory requirements. And then there's the constant management distraction of quarterly earnings song & dances, disclosing key strategic matters that might be better left private, governance requirements, increased surface area for lawsuits, wallstreet manipulations, etc.

Being private can make the companies much more nimble -- especially if they actually have rigor & profits rather than requiring perpetual shareholder subsidization of "growth."

TLDR: Being public (even absent Sarbanes Oxley) isn't a panacea.

Those aren't the problem. It's that you can't control what the user will do/use (a sort of unbounded problem). The 0.5w or the ultra ultra cheap chargers that let AC signal through or maybe it's not giving true/clean 5/10/20v.

Now you have to have an extra decision circuit that judges whether or not the wall is "good enough to boot the phone" and then ask if it's good enough to run it as well. Last thing you want is wall power to dip randomly and you can't switch fast enough and simply shutting off.

I understand why you would pick the battery as the requirement. You know the exact behavior of when the phone is safely bootable vs not w/ a predictable DC signal.
Not a big job market for sure, but for example the car industry on Germany is ramping up quite a bit!

Stalin found reasons to kill everybody over time, including Bolsheviks.

Bolsheviks were "socialist" because at the time socialism and communism were largely interchangeable terms; you might be thinking of the various factions with "social" in their names that vied with Bolsheviks around the revolution (Social Democrats, Social Revolutionaries). Socialism certainly didn't have the "softer" connotation it has now.

That makes it sound like we put a binary in our git repo :) It was its own Go package main that people could run.

It's insane to think that some of you value the words of a person

- who has no relevant experience in anything being discussed,

- works for an outlet which has shown countless times that it cannot reliably and accurately report on nearly any field and

- whose primary experience has been in taking dictation from the FDA

over one of your peers, who

- has worked in the relevant industry, and the relevant company

- puts his name next to his words, and

- has given you a first person account of what he's seen and done, including acknowledging his own blind spots

If your instincts are to invest immovable faith in the belief that the latter is absolutely lying, based on facts related to you by the former, you are epistemically ruined beyond hope.
Just like Pclark is doing
"Hey can we make it a habit to get a second data point before running with the NYT's account of things?"

"Whoa hey bring it down several notches, extremist."

My only hope is that the NYT grows even larger and more "successful", so that more of you can have the experience of having your field, your work, or you personally written about with their signature erroneous confidence.
History is not a field where it's easy to make falsifiable claims (until we invent time machines). But I don't think that completely prevents us from learning something from the past.
> AlAnon has the philosophy that people are lifetime alcoholics, even if they haven't drank in years

Yes, because addiction and addictive tendencies don't magically go away with sobriety.

It's easy to justify 'one time won't hurt' that becomes a slippery slope back to old habits. I've quit smoking several times now, but it wasn't until this last time that I realized that I absolutely cannot allow myself to smoke or vape because it will put me back on the path of addiction. My personal experience with porn and cannabis addiction behaves the same way.

I'm very fortunate I was able to quit drinking and now 3 years later I can have a healthy relationship with alcohol, but I've had multiple friends in the past where one drink during sobriety will turn into spending nights at the bar.
obvious caveat that tailscale could, at any time, change this unofficial policy.
Agreed. My company has a (relatively) mature MFE platform, and it rocks. The MFE team handles builds, deployment, and can build features like experimentation into the platform, so the teams can focus on the MFEs.
The MFEs are not arbitrarily small - they are related to specific experiences. A single MFE might be a collection of pages in a flow, for example.
It means less work for devs, more consistency across a big company, and much safer deployments - the worst thing that can happen if you ship a bug is to tank your MFE because they're all isolated. At a big company, being able to change something small on your MFE and push to prod without worrying about every other page in the site is awesome.
Can anyone remember the boat strategy for level up magic? How did that work...

The idea was that you would sail north cast spells until you level up, then stop, and move the boat 13 tiles, then repeat the spell. It genuinely worked for leveling up high eval.
Unlikely, as Java’s string interning behavior was specified in the first edition of the JLS (1996). This predates C# as far as I know.

We use this in the clinical setting when our standard PCR tests, cultures and serologies come back negative. This test is better for when we have exhausted more specific tests. Having such a broad sequencing of dna in the blood is not clinically useful because you may not be sick but be positive for quite a lot of things. Blood isn’t sterile. What would we do about it? Unclear, probably nothing, unless we have associated clinical findings/symptoms that correlate. Also a very expensive test.

I would highly suggest a look into the topic of analog computers for this purpose
>Technically, it means that we integrate with serving and labeling platforms. We ingest data both in streaming and batch. We can mine on production streams including on device (for iot use-cases where accessing data is a challenge).

hold on - are you saying you look at production serving data ...and are able to determine what was the problem in training data that caused it ? That is pretty cool.
Counter counter point: Al Gore is not a climate scientist so why would we really listen to his predictions. His most well known movie did have a lie/fault in it (he moved the data to try and show that increased co2 always predates warming if I remember correctly). That does not make climate change fake though and if you listen to the real science most of the predictions has come through. It is just that news media does not always present the predictions accurately.

Wait a few years. This is an in-progress announcement, not an its-complete announcement.
You see, any disagreement with any official government policy or statement - even if it changed the next day - is going to get you the "anti-" label. As witnessed right here in the comments. The term is not supposed to be helpful, it is supposed to be used as a bludgeon, do dismiss people instead of considering their arguments on merits.
1) You claimed it provided services for 4 billion people. 30 million != 4 billion.

2) Lightning requires BTC transactions to establish channels and for funding, no? While the TPS when funds are on lightning may be impressive, in order for 4 billion people to set up and fund lightning channels, at 7 TPS the bitcoin chain is going to take ~18 years to process that.

3) Are these 30 million people in Nigeria using BTC on the main chain? Are they using lightning? Or are they using one or more custodial, centralised wallet services/exchanges?

(I see 'sidecar channels' are a thing which may help onboarding speed, skipping the bitcoin blockchain entirely, but it all sounds hideously complex, with a bunch of fees in different places to a variety of service providers. It really all points to a failure in the L1 solution)
At least they give something back. As another example, Sony took FreeBSD, added some proprietary bits on top (like their own graphical API), turning it into the PlayStation operating system family. They've made billions of dollars on that (saving countless millions by not having to develop an OS from scratch), and gave bupkis in return. Try finding them in any of donors lists. Last time I mentioned that I was downvoted to hell because apparently it's wrong to ask giant corporations to support the foundation they're building on top of, and I'm a communist for doing that.

Yeah, sure. I'll get whatever. By August who knows if it'll do any good, but my immune system won't mind the workout.

I had COVID a couple weeks back. I'm triple vaccinated. It was like a moderately bad cold. If vaccines provide me with assurances that every bout I have with it will be just that, I'll still get them. But I'm pretty over doing just about anything else.
I don't consider that to be a comparable technology based pretty much on what goes in it to be vaporized. These are a lot closer to things like ultrasonic nebulizers for athsma/COPD medication.

What gets me is the carrier substance. I think I heard propelyne glycol and vegetable glycerin in the lungs may have metabolic effects. Wonder what alternatives exist or are already being used in medicine now.
I once read that either FreeBSD or OpenBSD was the "bad one". I forget which it was, but given that BSD is the Linux of Linux, I don't really think about it.
I think it’s largely because copilot is hardly worth it to use for free. I found it to provide negative value and waste my time with its correct looking but ultimately incorrect suggestions.
Sure but it was also a great experience and one of the key precursors of modern online games.
Unfortunately it can be either, the Chinese 酒 is often glossed "wine" but it's really just "alcohol".
A lot of takes wrt walled gardens here and this vs threads, to which I could add my 2 cents. Facebook used to have its own things called Notes which was basically the same thing to this (longer format writing attached to your profile). In the years leading up to me launching my blog/personal website, I wrote about a half dozen of these Notes (this was like a decade ago, I was in my early 20s). It was a pretty good 'on ramp' to writing down longer sets of thoughts to share with people, much lower friction that launching a blog.

I doubt this is going to serve the same purpose for many people, but it might. Yes it is a walled garden, but I don't think it's meant as a replacement to a personal blog or Medium account (though tbh id much prefer this to Medium). I also have no doubt this will co-exist with Twitter threads, with the two having different strengths and weaknesses.

So, as someone who thinks Twitter is flawed but also very usable in a way that makes it quite good, I think it's a nice addition! We'll see if it survives - I kind of hope it does.
Is it true being acquired by PE is a death sentence for engineers at a company? With P.E introducing cuts & offshoring immediately to improve their bottomline
No, actually, that wasn't a point I was making, nor is it even adjacent to one. Thanks for playing though.
When AT&T did a fiber overlay in San Jose (GPON), they had neighborhood cables that were factory terminated to go from wherever to each pole. The linemen had to setup the pulleys? and pull the cable through, and attach them, but they didn't have to terminate them. When they ran a line to my house, they did do a field termination, but it seemed like they had a tool and it went quickly (mine was the tech's first time, or at least pretty early, but it only took a minute or so).

Of course, for repair work, if a tree or something breaks a multi fiber bundle, splicing is going to be a lot harder than coax. Probably harder than traditional phone lines, but I think PON is setup so that you don't need to care which wire connects to which other wire, and if you do that for end-user traditional phone lines, you'll have a big mess, so you'd really want to match the wires up before you junction them. Coax is just one big wire, so way simpler.

Some years after I read this, I wrote http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/lmu.py, which is a simple one-file text MUD. A little too simple, really: you can dig rooms, create objects, change their descriptions, pick them up, drop them, travel around, look at things, and chat with other players. But there's no way to program the objects to have behavior like walking around and picking things up.

It's a bit verbose for me to include a full transcript in an HN comment, but maybe this edited snippet gives a bit of the flavor, at least if you speak Spanish. Riyhor is the player's name.

The game world is pretty much just a Zork-style containment hierarchy, though implemented with Python lists and objects rather than linked lists, so, just as in Ultima, the player's possessions are children of the player, the player is a child of the room they're in, and all the rooms are children of the world. Pretty simple.

But it turned out that, despite having already read this story, I'd implemented my own version of the same bug! When you dig ("cavar") it creates a new exit and by default also a new room, but alternatively you can specify an existing room to dig into. But I'd forgotten to check that the destination was a room! Even though you couldn't program player-created game objects to pick things up, players could pick things up, and you could tunnel into a player, walk through the new exit into the player, pick up objects from their inventory, and walk back out. In fact, you could even dig into yourself. This did not cause other players to appear and start saying "Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich," for some reason.

It was a pretty entertaining bug for a few days of work.

Question: Is evolution falsifiable?
I had in mind that your goal with reproducible containers was to distribute some app your business makes on platforms that don't know anything about NixOS, in which case building the app with Nix and then using your favorite container runtime as the deployment target makes sense. But if you're using containers as an escape hatch for NixOS and Nixpkgs, that definitely doesn't do much for you!

In enterprise environments, some old school distros have an archiving layer that sits between hosts and their normal repos that you can use to hold back updates. Maybe you could use something like that. I forget what Red Hat's offering is called but I think it's part of Satellite. Idk if there are any free tools for that, but maybe there are.

The other alternative escape hatched that NixOS has, like FHSUserEnvs or just steam-run, you likely already know about.
