> And to be pedantic, the Democratic party does not have a current majority in the Senate. It's 50/48/2 Republican; Sanders and King caucus with the Democrats but King in particular is very centrist, endorsed the Republican Collins for her reelection bid, and votes with the Republicans most of the time. Maybe you think that is just nitpicking

No, I don't think it's nitpicking I think it is factually wrong (except that, yes, Sanders and King are Independents). Not only does King vote with the Dems on most important votes, he's not even the most centrist or least loyal to the caucus member of the Democratic Caucus; In the current session, on key issues, if the caucus fails to gather the majority it needs (which usually means there is no vote: Schumer is pretty consistent about that), it is usually Manchin (D-WV) and
/or Sinema (D-AZ) — more often the former — that is the problem. (And both of them are to King’s right by both current session and career voting history.)
It would be nice to see something like this for Magit.

Also, the fact that this is so complicated and that this document is as long as it is is strong evidence that git is just poorly designed from a UI standpoint.
Also math is a bit like music or sports. To get to a level where you can be successful in a professional environment you have to start early.

There are certainly exceptions and I don't mean to be discouraging - but I guess most people who studied math would agree that it is a lot of work and takes a lot of time. "There is no royal road to mathematics" as they say.
"FUD" is poor argument.

I think there certainly are improvements possible to the old format, but like you I don't like the direction the new format takes.

Why so much empty space? To me it looks like the text could easily use a larger font. Or maybe use two columns per page.

I don't keep up to date on all the k8s changes but a couple years ago wasnt the recommendation not to have your databases in k8s at all?

What has changed between now and then where putting postgres into k8s is an option?

Does the Postgres operator handle all the statefullness requirements and scheduling things that might be unique to pg?
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet uses ARM, not x86, so I don't think MrChromebox supports it. I'm unclear on whether ARM Chromebooks even can support coreboot and/or edk2; do you happen to know if that's possible?
No. (edited: by that I mean you are not the only one)
Is this recent? I held every cert under the sun in the 2000s and companies GOBBLED ME UP. In the early 2010s I could walk into companies by simply having a VCP cert. I'm sure if I held a K8s or some hashicorp cert, or AWS or Azure certs I would be pulled into any org hiring today. And I put all of my certs on my resume (that I can fit with most recent first).

I should also clarify, I only put certs that matter (why put an Azure cert on a resume submission to an AWS shop) and certs that are recent (I have 20 years on my resume, why would i put my CCNA on there). I think a large number of irrelevant certs would be a negative signal. I think a large number of relevant certs AND job history to back them up would be a super strong signal.
The first human to human heart transplant failed even sooner and was considered wildly successful. Edit: Even though the immunosuppressants ended up killing him.

7 weeks doesn’t sound like long, but a great many things needed to work for the patient to survive even 1 week.
> we're headed to a dark place if your best shot at human rights is to retain employment by a big tech company

But we're already here. We are in that dark place now. It's reality that if you work for big tech you get a perk this perk, and if not, you don't.

Edit: point being that we aren't heading to a bad place. Maybe we are heading to a worse place, but this has put a ton of people in a very bad place already.
OpenDaylight – a modular open platform for customizing and automating networks
A friend if mine took many certs for fun.

He said, the AWS ones were pretty good. They weren't too easy, you have to train a few weeks to get them and you would actually learn something of practical use in everyday work. Also, they're actually in demand.
I agree with this. Mercurial is cool, but if you need to convert your Mercurial project to Git to push to GitHub, then it's a fucking pain.
IIRC, the problem with conventional mechanical pumps is that they're continuous-flow. Various other systems in the human body rely in the ebb-and-flow of a pumping heart to function correctly, and different activities require different flow speeds. Yes, we can probably engineer a variflow pump as well, and maybe also one that increases and decreases its flow based on hormonal signaling, but it's not as simple as taking your average aquarium pump and connecting it in-place. AFAIK, we have no idea how the heart determines its flow rate.
preservation of telomere length is the thing with turtles, I believe. Essentially they don't degrade anywhere near as quickly as with mammals, meaning that they continue being healthy despite old age. Probably a different mechanism with the Olm (a kind of cave dwelling amphibian), different again with the Greenland Shark (which maybe the longest lived vertebrate).
If you strip out the magic of AI or different machine learning models strung together. The question for copyright is thr type of model. If it is a diffusion based model that competes against human written code. There is no conflict.

But since release people have found code snippets of their own making. Therefore a layer in there is just an advanced indexing algorithm called AI.

Like other posters pointed out, the fundamental issue is the mismatch of license and purchasing of github. Retroactive change of terms of service, etc...
Your point that this is uncharted territory is well-taken, we can't say for sure, but the above poster has it right. I do not know of any circumstance in medicine in which evidence of immune reaction against foreign material would be non-obvious. I'm a pathologist and this is my area of expertise.
It's not going to help when one fucks up a complicated merge/rebase and can lose a ton of work if something goes wrong. Understanding what you're doing goes a long way.

I've seen this a couple of times at $DAYJOB when someone doesn't understand how rebase works, smashes keys until it looks like they've achieved their goal, and then I have to ssh into their box and try to unravel the damage they've done, hoping that reflog has not been GC'd yet and there's something to revert to.
As the idiom goes: Can’t see the forest for all the trees.

Sadly it’s often difficult to argue with someone using the complex=bad-club, because everybody knows complexity must be avoided - at all cost!!

What one should understand is the essential complexity of the problem, then design your solution around that, to control where the complexity goes and to not introduce accidental complexity. Blindly going complexity=bad will result in it popping up elsewhere later.

Many people as you say don’t even know what it means and use complex=bad for all kind of things they disagree with, including choice of tools or libraries. Using a library you don’t know is not complex, it is difficult, also something that should be avoided but that doesn’t make it the same thing. (Adding libraries and mixing competences can of course add complexity also, but let’s not get pedantic…)
Well this is the coolest thing I've seen all week.
I think we're in agreement about post WWII. The US was invited into Europe and paid a lot of money to hold off the Russians. It protected the Taiwanese, Koreans and Japanese. That's pretty much what I said.
How is similar in generating code? From my case I don't create code by combining previous seen code, for example I can write a Lua/Haskell script now even in my memory I have no Lua/Haskell code stored. I can do it because I create a model of the problem, then I create structures of data and operations on those data, only the final step is to look up the syntax and standard libraries to generate the code.

Can someone prove that it at least managed to understand trivial algorithms, like this is a find.sort,reverse,filter,map operation and it can say map an algorithm from one language to other?

Thinking at it , bad students when learning programming are doing this kind of stuff, they start writing stuff from memory that looks like valid code , one student wrote something like if(int i =0; i < n; i++) , clearly this student did not understand the lesson so Copilot will do a similar mistake just one level higher
The corruption issue is with concurrent (re)index operations, which can be done for all index types. That is, the corruption is best described as 'some table rows may skipped when scanning the table during reindex, so the index can be incomplete', and unrelated to index methods, as any index can be reindexed concurrently.

btree is only the default index type, but otherwise unrelated, with the sole exception being that it is easy to verify whether it's corrupted - but that doesn't mean that other index methods are not affected.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
> And what did we screw up? Some legit stuff! It’s Rust code, so I am fairly confident none of the issues were security concerns, but they were definitely quality of implementation issues, and could have been used to at very least denial-of-service the minidump processor.

This is so much better than the outcome would have been in any C or C++ project despite the many protestations of "just follow modern best practices" adherents. The author of minidump is no novice, is well versed in best practices in multiple languages including C++, was sure the code was solid, and still got spanked hard by the fuzzer. Denial of service outcomes aren't ideal, but they were likely fewer in number and are unambiguously better than security vulnerabilities.
They didn't share it because they charge a fee for the full report.
The "univers" in university means something. A university degree is about more than just the knowledge gained in one's major. It's a signal that the person has had exposure to the breadth of human knowledge. It might be a millimeter deep but the breadth gives them context in which to operate in society. None of that means this knowledge can't be acquired individually, just like having a particular major doesn't preclude someone who didn't attend university from gaining that knowledge on their own. It's simply a signal that this particular bundle of knowledge has been seen and at least understood at a surface level. In theory that should allow those evaluating the candidate to skip over testing competency and knowledge in these areas outside of the job's focus but still relevant to functioning in society.

Many schools will give credit for life experience, some through testing, some through interviews and reviews of one's professional work. IIRC, Western Governors University is one of the leaders in this practice.
This is a bit like asking if you can become a neurosurgeon by taking online classes. But if you're aiming to do it for fun, just jump in and study the field (deeply) on your own.
Consistency with dev and prod and getting scheduling and management for free with Nomad. I’ve been running a 2 TB Postgres database that has an average of 2000 QPS+ in a container for many years now with no issues, what kind of weirdness are you referring to?
Just want to extend that encouragement to anyone with a friend or two in close proximity, speaking as a single, no kiddos.

You'd be surprised how many people you run into who have never seen the milky way with their naked eyes (or have completely forgotten that you see the same exact thing as in astronomy photos that you'd swear are definitely-probably digitally altered).

Living in a city buried in light pollution, it's always a treat to see the same facial expressions of amazement and wonder out of adults as you'd get from kids when I bring whatever nearby friends and a couple beers for a late night meteor gazing session during the Perseids, just an hour's drive out of town.

Of course, despite living where light pollution maps mark as a red/white zone (Sacramento, CA), we are fortunate enough to live so close to a blue zone (halfway between town and Lake Tahoe).

For best viewing, one wants to plan for clear skies and time of night during moonset and/or near the new moon. As for Perseids, unfortunately the last few seasons have been a bust for me due to California's record-breaking wildfire seasons completely drowning out the sky.
They're a nice bonus, I used to dismiss them until my friends and I all worked at jobs where they would pay for the certification if you passed plus a bonus of $500. We would come together on Fridays and whoever had passed the most certs that week would get free drinks. I held sooooo many certifications in the 2000s and I got job requests every day. I went to more high level certs (like VCP and AWS architect) in the last decade and the recruiters haven't slowed down. And I'm pretty sure having a CISSP will walk you into any security position today. Don't discount certs as they are a cheap form of networking.

It's like going to college. You don't need it, but its a nice bump above others in the resume stack at some orgs

I played around with it; very nicely done and very neat. This would be very helpful and fun if I were to ever implement an ARMv7 core in an FPGA.
Should the mother be tried for false imprisonment?

>You didn't have the level of de facto censorship that you see now with the massive centralized communication platforms.

I disagree. Not every forum was SA or 4chan, plenty were aggressively moderated. The primary difference between then and now that I see is that, back then, moderation wasn't always considered censorship.
Getting certifications on a technology you want to work with will help companies hiring those positions find you and increase your odds vs a candidate that doesn't have them.

If you want something that will tangibly raise your prospects - look into clearances instead of certifications. These will open you up to a segment of the market that has less competition. I have a few colleagues that got two levels of clearance during university and they were immediately hired upon graduation.

Have you looked into `pg_upgrade —link`?
Really good suggestion, I have not been very active commenting here. Thanks!
I chuckled at this. If it's a waste of time for you to be paid and to pay your employees...

If you think what you're doing is a waste of time, you can always leave. If it's your company, you can forfeit your shares. Why throw everybody under the bus? This is wildly irresponsible.

And burning bridges... I've never heard anything so funny. As if the feelings of investors ever really matter.

It takes a special type of entrepreneur to burn a bridge by taking an investor's money. Snubbing an investment is one thing, but taking an investment and using it as intended in good faith should never result in a burned bridge. Investors are typically understanding of changes in the market. It takes a party acting in bad faith, in which case not doing business with them in the future is reasonable, but that truth is applicable generally.
My point is that people who avoid entire food groups, or foods that have one particular nutrient usually have very strange reasons to do so, that border on the metaphysical and are routinely misguided. Like the carnivore diet, or the various macrobiotic diets, for example.

But strangely those weird diets never center around cutting salt out (and some of the meat-only diets are also deliberately heavy in fats). My intuition is that this is because salt is almost addictive, because it is so tastey, and it is very, very difficult to get people to reduce salt in their diet, despite the damage it can cause.

Anyway it's still the case that none of my doctors or nurses have advised me to cut down on oxalate-heavy foods to avoid kidney stones, so I don't think you need to worry that much. If there is a risk, it's a risk only when considered at a population level and probably very low at an individual level.

Not that it will harm you to eat fewer potatoes. They're mostly starch anyway and I think at this point everyone agrees that too much starch can be a problem (because gaining weight is all too easy even without excess starch).
Ask HN: Free indoor adult-friendly solo activities away from home
Not explicitly tech related, but trying to solve a problem that tech is failing me on.

I am looking for ideas of solo adult-friendly indoor activities, done away from home, that do not cost anything, besides the cost of transportation to get there. An example would be quietly reading books at Barnes and Noble without buying any.

Finding any results for such ideas has proven incredibly elusive on multiple search engines, with several dozen search variations now (including many with numerous advanced operators). Many seem to think I'm either trying to start a business for free, or trying to entertain kids indoors on a rainy day.

Any ideas on other such activities, or search terms that help uncover them? I'm employed at FAANG as an SWE, it's not like I'm incompetent using search engines, but I'm getting nowhere with this on my own.
If you were to spend just a few minutes browsing "hype beast"-like forums/communities around the internet, you would likely arrive very quickly at the conclusion that it isn't about looking put-together and wearing a genuinely fashionable outfit, it's about how many dollars worth of products you can comfortably wear at a time (to get "the drip"), even if that means layering it up in ways that absolutely do not work aesthetically. A truly bizarre offshoot of fast-fashion.

Lots of folking out there going into major debt just to own designer goods. They definitely seem to believe in the "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" thing, but usually work in dead-end jobs without any chance of career progression.

Judging by the interest in 'fashion reps', I would say it's very much a peer pressure issue, but one that extends far into adulthood for some folks.
I've run debian on a non-dev xps 13 for years trouble-free.

My biggest gripe is docking station compatibility with the Dell TB16 which, to be fair, is largely own fault. Suspending the laptop while connected to three ext displays and input devices, then spinning it back up before re-connection produces some gnarly results.
One weakness people "on the spectrum" have is "theory of mind", which is the ability to understand that other people have different experiences, different knowledge, and even different opinions.

In writing, this manifests as not attempting to bring the reader up to speed with underlying concepts. Since they are "known". This can result in texts that only work as a reminder for those who already know the field.

I don't have a great way to "fix" that problem, but the first step is to at least be aware of it!
The limit seems based not on some percentage of LNG produced, but a fixed figure of tons/year.

Is it possible they've also increased the production capacity of the plant?

The story is very short, so I can't tell what they are saying. Is it producing more emissions per "unit" than expected, or just producing more output?

Edit: Answering my own question, they have increased capacity significantly over time:

Well, read the thread above you. GDPR is so complex that even the people who passed it can’t tell you the scope given the intentional ambiguity.

I have officials in the EU on the record that IP addresses are deemed personal information and if your business uses AWS and unintentionally passed IP addresses over to any resource in the US, you are technically in violation.

Will you be hanged for this today? Probably not. But all it takes is one negative press cycle for the idiots there to interpret and enforce this as they have shown the willingness to do in the past.

The point about unelected bureaucrats isn’t the unelected part. It’s the lack of oversight or consequence or clear demarcation of legislative power from the executive.

The bureaucrats have taken it upon themselves to issue multiple specific rules that go over and beyond the text of any law. See the case of the CNIL in France. They had a court ruling around their rules for cookies on Google go against them and they continued to insist that they would enforce said law. They issued an “FAQ” on their website that indicated threatening language against businesses that flouted their previous comments that were now deemed incorrect by a court of law and had the audacity to press on.

Like I said, the EU is an abusive monarchy
Klitschko said it was not him who had the calls with the mayors of Berlin and Vienna.

It's interesting that they ignored that whoever pretended to be Klitschko did not speak in German with them.

But I guess this is how it works, when you already trust the other person, you ignore this stuff and invent plausible explanations.
As a counter point. Every time I've seen people get themselves into trouble with git has been when they are using a GUI tool. I have yet to see a gui tool that they can use to get themselves back out of it. There's a lot of value in knowing your way around the command line side of git even if you regularly use gui tools to interact with the repository.
I don't know what the difference is, honestly :( I believe you, but I see both online and nobody seems to know the difference and it seems to work. Shrug? Most of my git life is copy pasting somebody else's commands because the model of it is really too complex for me. I've given up on caring... it's easier and faster to rewrite some code than deal with git's commands.

Same thing for node modules, lol. Delete the folder and try again. If that still doesn't work, delete the lock file and try again.

It's a terrible practice, I know, but it's the only thing that actually seems to work in my experience.

EDIT: Apparently origin/master points to a specific branch. origin/HEAD points to the top of the "default" remote branch, which is often, but not always, master. Or something like that. I don't know for sure.
Work experience can be difficult to evaluate, especially since most companies have no incentive to cooperate with the degree granting institution. In addition to the process consuming company resources, there may be sensitive business knowledge they don't want revealed. There's also the issue of turnover making knowledge of an employee's experience with the company very limited. Same for human memory decay or simply others in the company not knowing what the person was doing, even if it was valuable.
The surface laptops are decent, but the rest of the line are not worth the premium.
Came here to post this - better than the link under discussion above. The interactive steps through a problem helps a ton for diagnosing the right steps to fix something!

Does this imply that the EU is "non-capitalist" or something?

"EU startups don't have to "catch up"..." then don't get surprised when EU talent is poached by US and Asian HRs for x2-x3 rates. And before you're gonna talk about all those "free" (taxpayer funded) services and how no European would ever move to Asia or NA, i'd like to remind you that we're in the remote work world now :)

I agree, it is scarcely known. However it does confirm that the technical problem of Patreon isn’t rocket science if it can be solved by volunteers on a very restricted budget.

IMO that’s more down to support/operations than tech.
