Too difficult to read, can't be bothered.

Does this style really appeal to anyone at all?
Well, the goal is fair: It would be nice to have science reproducible.
There are simply a lot of pragmatic (and ethical, and legal ...) reasons why it often is not.
Is the objective just to make women's play more popular with fans?
Still, Stine was not writing anything special. He had a formula and followed it. I think it is a question of productivity. I do think some of Sanderson’s series are tightly edited and others he lets things bloat a bit (Stormlight Archive, sigh).
Sure, that's what I mean about not being stupid.
I've seen a massive, "simple", abstraction-free function of 500-1000 lines take smart engineers quarters to safely "factor". I've seen this same thing happen a handful of times. Big spaghetti function requires someone to build a new test suite from scratch so that they can refactor safely, because everything ends up having spooky surprising distant effects, because there isn't any abstraction to contain things.

They're dead simple, there's no abstraction, its just loops and variables (and state, which is the real killer). But they're impossible to reason about as a result.
HP-UX vaults date back to late 90's, as one of the first container models for UNIX systems.
I was "waiting for the fonts to load" then I saw the comments here and realized that font was a conscious choice. Ugh.

As others have pointed out, their design seems to have gone downhill, I haven't visited dropbox in a while but I recall them having a very nice and clean design. Now it looks like someone's MVP that was put together in an afternoon.
Musk says Tesla's new car factories 'losing billions of dollars'
Maintainers should be given the tools to monetise their projects using a cloud offering early on so they don't burn out on the way to learning what control plane/data plane nomenclature actually is!

Unfortunately there are limited tools/resources out there to answer the question "how can i build a cloud deployment option for my open source project" without 25 layers of abstractions. This is why open-source projects end up raising millions of dollars (e.g strapi, appsmith just off the top of my head). All this money just for all these companies to essentially build the same thing.

Ideally, there should be a service/tool (maybe thenile will be it) where I answer a few questions.

Containerised?
Stateful?
Long lived?
Keep alive?
Allow end users to deploy many instances?
% premium per instance over cloud costs?
License per instance?
Pricing (tiered, volume, stairstep?)
On end customer's own infra?
Min resources per instance.
Airgapped per user/airgapped per instance/all instances running on same cloud?
Instance management API?
Update strategy?
Big Green button to update all instances at once?

And it should spit out a ready to deploy setup where I can start monetising my open-source project while concentrating on maintaining the project.

If the above exists then congrats, you disrupted the main reason for open source projects raising millions of dollars.
> Societal evils aside, this could be a very precise drug-delivery system that can be cheaply mass-produced.

It’s not really that precise at all because it’s up to the user to control how long to inhale.

The only reason vape users can dose somewhat precisely is that the drug had a short and obvious feedback loop (how they feel) and they dose many times over the life of a cartridge, allowing them to learn how to dose properly. THC is also very forgiving in overdose, which isn’t a feature shared by most drugs.

Yes, github.

I use github for embedded projects: code, schematics, PCB artwork, drawings, etc. Haven't found it limiting in any way.

Don’t sell benefits, sell what problems your product solves that the buyer has.
> yeah, that's not really the case with docker either I'm afraid

I feel like two places I disagree with this statement:

- Docker's official image library

- When a project you are looking to run has an official image they maintain

When those constraints are not met, I try to build my own image (based on the official images).

I try not to trust any other external images (with some exceptions from reputable sources such as linuxserver.io or Bitnami).
Aren't you off by a factor of 100? Maybe dollars per foot, not cents per foot?
had two batteries "explode" (ballooned ¹) because of this, then I switched to another phone and knock on wood the battery has not yet exploded (about 2 years).

¹ This is probably why you should not cut off the battery plastic sealing like some DIY guides tell you to do, it's probably there for a reason.
i don't see that it's functionally any different than what was displayed in that gif. In both cases there's a card to the longer content that needs to be clicked on.

If your argument is that no-one will click on the card then twitter notes will fare no better because it's literally the same presentation.
It absolutely is. Approximately no-one gets real business value out of internationalization, they just use it as a stick to beat technologies they dislike.
My experience is also that between floors (circuits) you loose bandwidth.
With latency I see no issue and I find that weird.

Latency, with Wi-Fi or not, it’s probably correlated with transmission failures so there probably some bad circuitry or devices than create noise (like electrical motors).
The article did say it had been in an accident.
Your argument boils down to "think of the children" which I do not find compelling. I can rationalize taking all kinds of things away from people with that logic.
Agree, but I don't think it necessarily has to be that way.

All of these social sites have a core competency/use case, but once they start tacking on features as an effect of the profit motive, it starts to dilute the experience.

Working on my own site and planning to keep it strictly focused on the core value prop.
In my (somewhat limited) experience, this is only really true when the big scary side of government calls you, rather than the totally still scary little side of government calls you (like your municipal water authority). I wish it were standard practice for more people. “Please call the main switchboard at xyz.gov/contact and dial extension 1234” is a pretty decent way of verifying trust.
HP-UX Vaults were introduced in late 90's, then came Solaris Zones, BSD jails,...

> As you can see, from 112M total expenses, internet hosting is 2.4M (or 2%), and 'other operating expenses' is 10M (or 9%). This is 11% of expenses. This compares to 56M for salaries and 23M for awards and grants. Where is the misinformation?

I believe the parent already answered your question:

> You're discussing server costs, but need to also consider hosting and data center costs, as well as employee salaries. Running Wikimedia is a pretty decent percentage of their budget.

The numbers you presented confirm this statement: 56M (salaries) + 2.4M (hosting) + 10M (other operating expenses) = 68.4M (61%)
The fragmentation of the internet simply shows that the topic is worth it. You seem to be quite triggered by it though, which makes it even worth it.
Whoa now, I was with you until you seemed to imply that "simple" software means shitty code. Simple in this context means a solution with as little complexity as possible. Hopefully written elegantly and carefully, with lots of thought for future maintenance and readability.

Maybe you use a 10-year-old, constantly maintained and thoroughly tested library to do 90% of the work instead of writing everything yourself.

Would it be faster to compute some end state without intermediate calculations? Probably. But how about we just spin a loop forward instead if it's more accurate that way and easier to understand.

What if we cached values, then made sure the caches are always in sync? That should speed things up. Well, maybe we'll write it without caching and see how that goes first.

How about an intricate system of locks and serializable transactions so that multiple requests can run at the same time? Or maybe we just queue things up and run them one at a time.

Nothing to do with nested for loops.
TouchID and related are on the list. Hooking into the existing auth flow was the easiest to get this out the door (and more desirable for some companies who want the audit event in their SSO stack, arguably), vs. figuring out when to nudge people to enroll physical factors and so forth. But I definitely also want "tap your security key please" as an option :)
The iOS client for OneDrive integrates quite well with macOS. A lot better than iCloud for Windows actually.
how would this be done, without being dismissed as being "just a bunch of plots with no effort to engage with the existing literature and study"?
> Linux will route random incoming traffic on any interface? Even if you haven't configured it as a router?

"configuring Linux as a router" is exactly what "adding an iptables rule that routes" is. That's what it's for, that's how you do it.
UK rail strike: second day of action to go ahead after talks fail again
We ran the study with US-based participants rating English-language generated profiles only. I believe the findings would generalize to other cultures though: We found people associate certain language features such as first-person speech, family topics, speaking about past events, with humanity. These false intuitions may have developed in interpersonal interactions or sci-fi movies, and it's unlikely that e.g. a French speaker would have acquired "better" intuitions. With regards to grammar, people were more likely to rate text with grammatical issues as generated. However, turns out that heuristics didn't work either, as self-presentations written by people had more grammatical issues than those generated by GPT-3. That being said, the strongest generative models to date are primarily trained on English data and models in other languages don't quite perform as well yet.
Concern more around what looks like an ssh backdoor showing up unannounced. How would they know the subtleties of what it takes to enable it when it wasn’t announced yet?
The idea of an oppressive scientific elite is a bit too neat and tidy. Certainly there are banal human politics at play, but it's hardly an explanation for all that ails. This idea is too attractive to the heterodox and outsiders cynical of scientific institutions.

Alzheimer's research having a focus on amyloid plaques makes perfect sense in light of so much data implicating it as a mediator of the disease. It's hard to say, even in retrospect, whether this focus was warranted or not. Allocation of scarce resources is hard, and everything comes at the expense of something else. It's easy to pick out 'fringe' ideas that bore fruit and lament how hard it was for them to gain traction. But what about all those that didn't? Were we really balanced too strongly to dominant ideas, or is science simply difficult?

You simply can't address this issue with the recent success of new or fringe ideas. You'd have to do something like systematically look at proposal acceptance rate vs. some subjective measure of heterodoxy vs. ultimate success. I just don't see compelling results from something like that.
No.

Their mutated receptors can reject THC while still accepting their own endocannabinoids.
I love threads. They're lightweight channels. In large, busy channels it allows parallel conversations. I see no reason a thread would be strictly asynchronous or real time. That's an organizational expectation. And anyone who expects real-time responses outside of a call needs to come back down to Earth.
A lot more nuanced than that. It includes what you're saying, of course. But it also adds misclassification of employees as contractors, illegal deductions, not granting or paying time off that is agreed upon, manipulating work hour tracking, refusing to grant agreed upon benefits, management/owners participating in tip pooling, etc.. It does ultimately lead to losses on the part of the employee, but comparing 'wage theft' with not paying rent is not just a bad faith argument, it's actually an uninformed ignorant argument.
It's comments like this that serve as a reminder of how we can't have valuable discussions about a topic of importance without it degenerating into name-calling and allegations of disloyalty to "science". Too many have become so fearful of climate change they are no long in the realm of a scientific discussion. They are worshipping a religion. The author of the article made a good faith effort to simply look at the data.

FWIW, the author Michael Crichton encountered much the same phenomenon in his novel "State of Fear" for which he was castigated for doing the same thing. Just looking at the data.
No ROM on these chips so RAM is both code and data
The started goal is to help people taper off cigarettes entirely, which I don't believe will work, and I'm not sure the FDA believes it either.

The actual point is to nudge people away from inhaling raw carcinogens (actual real smoke) directly into their lungs, and nudge them toward the still-potent e-cigarettes and vapes, which have way less cancer risk.
The List of Monoids Pattern
USA is still fine now but it's the direction that's frightening. The overall direction of Western Europe and USA is not good, to put it mildly.
I think of it as being more of a spectrum where abstractions get introduced as they're needed. The case where one has thousands of lines of imperative code that is terrible to debug and probably not unit tested is one where the correct abstractions were never introduced at the place and time they were appropriate. Getting this right is almost impossible, that's why we have refactoring practices.

Thanks for sharing the link. Despite seeing the infamous DropBox comment a number of times I didn't catch the shared language.
Relying on log and print statements is like giving up. I would claim that's not simplicity, that's inexperience, but I have no idea what language you're referring to. Sometimes I do it with JavaScript when I didn't setup the project, it's using a framework I don't know and I'm not willing to spend the time figuring out how to get real debugging working so there are caveats.

But you definitely should not be doing that if you have a good debugger as It's faster to click the line to add a break point and press play. You can SEE the state. And you can view other variables at the same time if something's looking whiffy, usually by just hovering your mouse. Plus see the entire call stack.

The thing that's boggling my mind about this is that if you know the line to add a log statement on, you know the line to add a breakpoint on. It's so much easier to just add a breakpoint.

In some languages if I saw someone adding a log statement while debugging I would immediately classify them as a junior programmer and start teaching them how to debug properly.

Either you are using a shitty language with a crap debugger or you need to learn how to use your IDE.
I have been thinking about the complexity bias that affects our perception of quality. I think as programmers it is our natural assumption that if something is complex, lots of thought must have gone into it beyond our understanding. This is especially true when starting a new job. But this is slightly ironic because often more code makes something slow, which isn't a good thing at all.

Real question. What even is a twitter thought-leader? An expert of twitter or an expert using twitter, or something else? If it’s an expert using twitter I would assume the way they use it would vary, so this must be something else?

The article doesn't link to the removed tweet. Does this mean twitter has restored the tweets they removed? I give them credit for standing up for the user, but restoring the content is also important.
"Please drink responsibly."
What a fun article!

When reading it, I felt like it was loosely inspired by A Philosophy of Software Design by Ousterhout. And it was! Near the end it is listed as recommended reading. Cannot recommend it enough.
I wonder why Reuters made this error—pure ignorance, or are they trying to curry favor with Fernández?
Only some blue collar jobs, specially union jobs in select industries provided that opportunity. It’s also worth noting that it was lower material standard of living than people generally enjoy today in the US.

You’re referring to a slice of the whole pie globally, However the pie is much larger now. Every industrial nation other than the US was basically leveled in WWII so we had a huge slice from the jump.
Currently I have:

- OneDrive because it comes with O365.

- iCloud Drive 2TB - integration with iPhones and the family plan

- Amazon Photo Storage - free with Prime.

- Google Drive - I still don’t pay it for. But when I run out of the free storage. I will just because of the photo search.

I use all of them for photo and video backups mostly.
Printf bad, log good. Grug already have logging in app. Grug use logging, Grug no reinvent logging with printf.

Jails can use the Docker registry?

The nice thing with Dockerfiles and the Docker registry is how quickly I get a reproducible, stateless, isolated environment for any large, proprietary or foreign app I may need, without resorting to a VM or polluting my system. All it takes is an Ubuntu or CentOS base, pull the apps and its dependencies, throw it away when I'm done while keeping a lean Alpine system underneath.

Jails would require me to set things from scratch each time I need a new app, even for a short while. It's just impractical.

I'm considering Nix as a potential alternative, but it doesn't work on the BSDs yet. If you know a way to run "modern workloads" in a KISS, convenient, Unix-y way, please let me know.
I used to have a philosophy of, "what happens if my kid screws up worse than me?"

What world would they find themselves in?

I don't smoke regularly, but if my kids did, could they get a healthier alternative?

What if they fell into heroin?

It would be terrifying, but could they be safe?

I no longer can make that argument. I'm susceptible to the taxation attack. Ten years ago I would have gladly paid all the taxes for my kids and a dozen others. But as some have pointed out, I don't make enough money.

It's a good conservative argument, I can't pay for that.

So, I'm sorry, I can no longer take part in this discussion.

You're right, abstinence is better, because unlike the responsible conservatives who are paying for necessary services like education, I can't help as much.

I'm so sorry. I wanted to pay more. We could have had scientific discussions on risks of food grade propylene glycol or something. Would it make a good hair gel? Sorry, some light-hearted kidding.

My new dream is to not ever have to engage in this discussion again. Because the idea of others wasting time in this divisive acidic discussion is sadder. Thank you.
> I think you read a different article than the rest of us.

Perhaps what is different is that I actually did read the article.

Your implied appeal to authority aside, the Texas car was not driverless and was not being driven by autopilot at any time prior to the crash into the tree. Reports to the contrary are based on speculation by Texas law enforcement (ugh) and are mistaken. And the California car had been in a collision violent enough to land it in a junkyard, which is plenty enough to set off a process culminating in fire.
As funny as this post is to read, I don't want to see yet another developer say "complexity bad". I want to see a company deliver high-quality products with very few bugs at a fast cadence, and continue to make major changes long into the future without slowing down.

_THEN_ I want developers from that company to share their opinions about how they do it. Do such companies/products even exist? Software is so bad these days that maybe no existing software lives up to our ideals.
This is absolutely standard business practice here, as I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31829966.

From what I can see the Lenses feature only allows to specify up to 10 domains? (Screenshot in the article linked above). If that’s the case I don’t see how Lenses and Goggles are comparable.

Goggles allows to specify thousands of rules, not only on domain but also URL patterns and in the future matching on elements of the page as well (e.g. titles, etc.)

It is also not clear that Lenses predates the Goggles whitepaper. We’ve been playing with the idea of Goggles for a long time.

Was that all though? I think part of this was just businesses attempting to lock the web into their tech. Microsoft has never wanted the web to be open, first trying to reinvent it with their own MSN. Then trying to lock it in with IE and ActiveX.

Adobe / Macromedia started from the designer perspective but Flash soon became a goal of its own because Adobe wouldn't give up that marketshare.

Only now all parties realise it's too big for one company to own. Well except Google perhaps.
It's certainly possible to lose all of your money in the stock market, but I wouldn't say it's easy. If you stick to buying stocks, it's unlikely that you'll lose everything. You'd have to get exceptionally unlucky.

If you start messing around with margins, options, futures, shorts... yeah, you can definitely screw yourself, because you're risking more money than you have.

But with stock purchases, the most you can lose is what you spend, and even then only if everything you pick is a complete failure. Which is unlikely, because publicly listed companies have at least a modicum of ability to produce something.

(At least, they used to be. Now we've got SPACs to avoid all that tedium.)
The crypto landscape never had any real stated goals that I can determine, beyond pipe dreams. Its founder Satoshi abandoned it in 2011. It's evident that blockchains do not solve any real problems, and I'm glad more people are realizing this. "Decentralization" is not a goal unto itself. Destroying the institutions/banks is not a goal either; when you tear it all down and rebuild your new financial system, you'll want to have similar institutions that serve the same purpose. If crypto people feel they have been defrauded by banks, I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish by building another system that has no fraud protections whatsoever. The most concrete answers I have ever gotten are along the lines of "somebody will build that into a smart contract and then arbitrate disputes through a centralized service, possibly run by the government" at which point they have gone full circle, and then there is really no reason to use blockchains anymore.
