I had worked with a team in Colombia before and I speak Spanish, so we initially gravitated towards hiring people both in the Austin, TX and Colombia.

We found really great teammates, who spoke great english. We also loved the US timezones, it was possible to be more responsive to our US customers.

And finally, I was surprised at how much overlap in culture we had as software deveopers. For example pop culture like movies, shows, video games, anime, music, etc.

It was a really good fit!
Never heard of single one. I bet you just invented it.

And yet... someone managed to get it wrong.
So tell that to my stepmom that made me sit in a car when I was 13 years old with the windows rolled up while she chain smoked on a 2 hour drive because she was on the phone and couldn't hear with the windows down. Despite my protests...

Your freedoms end where mine begin. If you want to smoke, fine. Do it in a location where I NEVER have to breathe it in.

Having just finished reading the Wheel of Time books for the first time about a week ago, I disagree with this statement. To me, the difference was stark - after going through so many of Jordan's books, you can clearly see a subtle but distinct writing style for each of the main POV characters. After the transition, the characters stay (mostly) the same but the writing style distinctions between them disappear; the worst offender being Aviendha's POV chapters (so! many! exclamation! marks!).

Sanderson also made a few mistakes in writing scenes involving the Aiel that contradicted lore laid down earlier in the series that really stuck out to me.

That's not to say Sanderson did a bad job, not at all. I really enjoyed the series, and I think Sanderson does a much better job at portraying emotional characters than Jordan did, which was crucial for the ending having the quality and impact that it did. they're both quality builders and writers, and both excel in different areas.

To me, though, it was if I had started watching something animated in the style of Arcane[0], and suddenly it switched to Moana[1]. Both fantastically animated and detailed, but the detail budget is spent in different places.

That's literally the opposite feedback of the rest of the world. There is a reason the scientific community standardized on Python, and bindings for all sorts of things from Blender to KDE were more successful on Python than other languages.
It's only sneaky if you're completely unaware of Canadian laws. Radio and TV stations have abided by domestic quota rules for a very long time. Online video was obviously going to come under that umbrella at some point.
I think this was introduced in the context of mad cow disease. Apparently it was urgent since law makers were already affected apparently.
It would be interesting to start verbatim copying some open source GitHub projects with these setting disabled and see if it magically knows what comes next (ie it does have prior knowledge of published code even with this turned off)
I've been following it, but there's almost no concrete information about it. I assumed it would be more like Roblox, or something of that nature.
The study seems to directly contradict this statement
>You shouldn't need non-GCC compilers to compile Linux

Huh? What relationship the Linux kernel and GCC has?

They're independent projects. It might be handy/nice/convenient to not need non-GCC compilers to compile Linux, but it's not like it's some license requirement or project obligation on behalf of Linux
This was really interesting both in exploring the architecture of a retail system and looking at how systems fail. Better to read about it and learn than to live it.

I'd call it a 4 hour outage because the initial "recovery" was a result of cashiers manually typing in prices for items. Then when load decreased and they discovered that scanning items worked again the problem came right back.

Maybe returning 404 for both a cache miss and a "there's no endpoint at this path" error is an issue too. For other status codes there's a distinction between temporary and permanent failure; e.g. 301 versus 302. It would've been good to use HTTP 400 Bad Request for the misconfigured URL and 404 for a cache miss.

In the 10% of stores with the early roll out of the config change the cache hit rate went to 0 right away, and that started 12 days before the outage. Alerts on cache hit rates and per-store alerts would've caught that.

Then there were 4 days where traffic to the main inventory micro-service in the data center jumped 3x which took it to what appears to be 80% of capacity. Load testing to know your capacity limits and alerts when you near that limit would've called out the danger.

Then during the outage when services slowed down due to too many requests they were taken out of rotation for failing health checks. Applying back pressure/load shedding could have kept those servers in active use so that the system could keep up.

A lot of the concentrates used in edibles and vapes cut nearly everything but the THC, which may be part of the observed difference between those and flower. "Full spectrum" extracts that keep many of the other chemicals seem to hit very different for me—I don't get the stereotypical giggly-high effect on pure THC or THC+CBD, mostly just sleepy (which is often exactly what I want, so that's fine), but I do on full spectrum gummies. Could be psychosomatic, but the effect feels pretty different to me.
Totally agree. Plantuml Sparx etc just don't scale on the conceptuality axis. Draw.io and their ilk do.

Ugh, some retailers still call their employees "partners." Kroger would write that every check was 'brought to you by customers' on every paper and digital pay stub. The rosy language is always used to obfuscate the exploitation going on. It's fascinating to see Target slightly improve security over the years after multiple hacks and problems with register security.
Yeah. Companies don't like it when their expensive fancy new Hive/Hadoop cluster takes longer to run an even moderately complex query that's core to their business than their existing Oracle or SQL Server DB.

For some reason there's ridiculous levels of FOMO in executive ranks, so any new trend is something they need to jump on like it will be what keeps their company around in 10 years. The result of this is fad-jumping, which I've seen happen from Big Data to ML to Blockchain, costing companies millions that could have been better invested in their own products or offerings and actually competing better. It's a really expensive educational cost for leadership IMO.
(re "data product", say for example, Cockroach DB which I have no affiliation with and already has a python integration)

With platforms like DataBricks and Airflow that are heavily inclined towards python, it feels somewhat unavoidable to offer a python "import myproduct" option. But, is it truly necessary to be part of that python ecosystem to survive as a data product?

I know: python has a vibrant community, it's a virtuous cycle because every data lib is in python and therefore every data platform / analyst uses it etc, why would you ever not want to just add your product to that ecosystem etc. I get that, but that's also why I'm asking the question
How did you switch from smoking to edibles? Or was it easy for you?
Eye mask. iPhone in sleep mode at 7pm local time. In bed lights out no later than 9-10pm. Alarm set for 8am on wfh days, 7am on rare travel days when I have to catch a flight.

TLDR actively defend your sleep time. People think it’s wasted time, but it’s the most important work for long term health (including long term brain health). Money doesn’t buy back beating your body into the ground.
> Agreed, and I'm not sure why you think forcing GPT and Copilot to respect open licenses will make them illegal instead of more open.

I wasn't talking about Copilot. I was talking about the vast majority of other interesting models. It wouldn't make Copilot itself illegal because it was trained on explicitly licensed data (so it'd make it GPL-licensed), but it would make those other models illegal.

Take for example the GPT-J, which was trained on 825GB of data scraped off the Internet. If we assume the view that a machine learning model is a derivative work of its training data then that makes GPT-J illegal, because it was trained on a bunch of "all rights reserved" data, and there's no legal license under which it could be released. Most interesting models are like that.

> so Copilot must not charge users

That's not what the GPL says.
Try to publish anything with a character looking like Spiderman, Thanos, IronMan, Captain America and see what Marvel does to you…
> Also this is complete pseudoscience but there's something that makes me feel better about smoking flower vs the other stuff. Vaping and all that other stuff is cool, but there's a certain safety in knowing the only modification a flower had was trimming the leaves away, no lab equipment, extractions, chemicals or any of that.

Honestly, that is common sense not pseudoscience. There has been way too much shady shit going on especially in vaping [1].

Getting sufficient sleep is on the same level of importance for overall health as proper exercise and nutrition.

Among other things, sleep is when the majority of most people's fat loss occurs, because the body is in a fasted state, oxidizing lipids for basal energy needs, and expelling the resultant Carbon Dioxide and water.

There are a great many other metabolic systems in the body that are detrimentally affected by a lack of sleep too. It's quite important to get enough!
And I thought this Fuchsia thing was pretty much dead...
That used to be true a couple years ago, but I don't think I've used a nightly compiler version at any point in the last 12 months.

That said, I think for this first phase the kernel is planning on a specific stable version of the compiler with nightly features enabled, because they have a couple specific needs that haven't made it through the stabilization process yet.
I thought dat was git for data. But it looks like it's dead now.

Regarding #3, my approach to solve problems like this is to make a custom repository rule which creates the desired symlinks. The repository rule can invoke external programs or examine the environment as necessary to figure out how this should be created.

Basically, you create a repository rule that symlinks your $PROJECT_ROOT/links/GCC/vX.Y.Z/ to $repo/... somewhere, and then generates a BUILD file for the repository.

Writing your own repository rule is not especially difficult and they do have a lot of power not available to ordinary rules. This is the API that you can use from within repository rules--you can see that it lets you run arbitrary programs, create files and symlinks, download files, etc.

Very short-sighted take, seems to me that author played some cyberpunk and found out that small cameras exist and wanted to tell someone about it.
I think the problem is relational datasets like that don't fit well into that model. In reality, it's very possible. Look at Datomic. While I agree, for high-throughput systems, storage is a concern, but the general trends seem to be towards streaming data and retention policies anyways.
My brain thinks about way too much shit at night to be able to sleep longer.

I'd basically have to give up caffeine to achieve this.
Fewer hours awake is fewer hours snacking. When I was doing a big weight loss I'd be very careful about putting myself to bed at like 22:00, because the later I'm awake, the greater my risk of snacks and booze entering the picture.

I don't work at that level, or even want to, but I did detect a dark pattern that I often complain about, but have never managed to get people to pay attention to: do not collect data unless you have attached to it a decision with two or more distinct outcomes based on that data.
How many percent is that of the $365 billion they made overall?
Yeah the cross-compilation thing is definitely a rough spot. I have one project that's able to work around it via extensive hacks with macros, but at some point I'll need to do it "the right way."

Honestly if the docs had a canonical example of e.g. using unix_cc_toolchain_config (example: [0]) + Bootlin to compile for aarch64, it'd probably go a long way to making things understandable. Because say what you will about the old CROSSTOOL approach, at least there was a nice tutorial for it.

Did he not?

After suffering through the Hobbit movies, I would completely disagree.

Adding salt to the injury, these movies destroyed the story in the book that Tolkien apparently wrote specially for his children. Talk about taking care of a legacy.

I guess it was difficult to resist the temptation, with so much money involved. But I don't see any other justification for those 3 movies apart from penny squeezing
Just ride later into the season each year, and start earlier each spring, and you'll figure it out.
Downvote? Seriously, hn? It’s a fact that hashish intake can cause psychosis.
I tried downloading the data and my network connection glitched at 6gb, I was thrown an error and the processed exited. I believe I was recommended to restart the entire process again as there was no way continue the process where I left out. I didn’t try again.

I think there could be a better design to clone/download the database on local machine. I understand people don't actually download databases to their local machine but I expected a better solution.
Does the study correct for the reason why the participants slept less than 6.5h/day? I'd suspect for many people the reason they don't get enough sleep is also the reason they find it difficult to maintain an optimal diet or exercise (and thus gain weight), i.e. stress.
True. Although "have to work in" is artificial in this case since the need is set by management. Factory automation takes out a fair amount of danger to humans in other cases. This has been an idea since ancient times.

I'm sort of torn when sh\+ jobs get automated away, as the premise of automation being beneficial overall is that increased economic activity creates not-worse opportunities elsewhere for the displaced. The financially weak are a cornerstone of our economy, I don't see anything better coming for these folks soon.
> Although Autobahn contained all the item data, the 404 responses were interpreted by the SDM Proxy as an indicator that the item was missing in Autobahn and the SDM Proxy retried the request to the central ILS API in the data centers.

This is why I never design web APIs to use the HTTP status code to indicate the application response. Always embed the application response within the HTTP payload. It should be independent of the transport mechanism. I’m ok with it not being a proper REST/RESTful service.

{
“status” : 1000,
“message” : “Item not found”
}

And intentionally don’t use the same status numbers as http (Ie don’t use 404 as not found, because someone will mix them up!)

Exercise hard in the morning.

At 8:30p: Last big glass of water. Put phone on charger in non-bedroom and don’t touch until 7a. Keep the lights low and warm. Do low stimulation activities like reading fiction or watching semi-boring TV or chatting with your family. Lay down when you can’t keep your eyes open anymore.

Big change for me. The phone especially is poison for evening tranquillity.
This is incorrect. Getting less sleep directly up-regulates appetite. It's not just more time to eat, it's increased food craving.
Fellow Dutchie here, I completely agree with this. When I learned to smoke weed, which was relatively late in my life (late twenties), I got sick of weed. I wondered why smoking just a quarter of a joint was already too much. Then I realized I just need between 1 to 4 inhales and call it a day. The high is relatively light and quite nice :)

Well, that's the illegal part, isn't it? ;-)

It's always illegal until it lands in the coffeeshop! It's almost like a game of tag really. I wish Dutch politicians would properly legalize it, but the way I sometimes hear them talk about drugs is way too out of touch for that ever to happen.

In a nutshell, your comment illustrates well the issue facing many western nations. The uniqueness of an individual is somehow extended to being applicable to the average person, and then folks hand-wring about why things seem to be trending in a bad direction.

Sure, Paul Farmer was special, but most people are not. To make any policy, or social conditioning, that is fine for an individual but bad for a collective, can result in some pretty terrible consequences, most critically this recent drive to discourage folks from having children due to whatever made-up reason, or cling onto power until others have to pry it from one's cold dead hands.

This is huge, and I think it could have implications beyond the ecommerce store. I know it relies heavily on React Server Components, is part of the long tail on this due to the fact that those haven't shipped in stable yet?
Is this controversial or commonly accepted?

Also, anyone know of ways laypersons can assess whether their sleep is non-restorative?
Yes, in theory it could print all the numbers you said, but in practice it won't because of floats dropping precision at some point. For JavaScript that point is 2^53.

The easiest way to see this is by typing `9007199254740992 + 1` in your browser's dev console. It should spit out `9007199254740992`.
`(Math.pow(2, 53) + 1) == Math.pow(2, 53)` returns true.

That means your program would print invalid output (or rather start looping infinitely) starting at that number (which is much smaller than 2^63) thus disqualifying your solution.
Same here. I find reading (book, kindle) before bed, drinking water to cool down, and not being on my phone for a couple hours help quite a bit
This would make a great argument in court if this ever is legally challenged. The only real argument would be because it could lead to lost income for Microsoft.

The full title is "Teens Are Getting Sick From Products With High THC Levels", and NOT "weed" as the HN title uses. Eg:

> This was not your average weed. The oil and waxes she bought from dealers were typically about 90 percent THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana.

referred to later as "THC concentrates".

BTW, the authorities have been saying for decades that level of THC in weed is much higher than it used to be, I believe as a way to convince older adults that their personal experience with cannabis is not trustworthy.

For example, "Many people who have voted for legalization thought they were talking about the marijuana of the 1960s to 1980s when the THC content was less than 2%." from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6312155/ .

But as https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/03/was-m... points out, "incomplete government data encourages a pervasive pot myth." ... "it's difficult if not impossible to classify average potency in a way that can be tracked meaningfully over time. So while there's almost certainly more super-strong pot available today—if only by the fact that it's now legal to buy in multiple states—it doesn't mean that all marijuana is ultra-potent today, which is how the narrative about potency is often framed."

> But there is little evidence to suggest these specific levels are somehow safer.

Likely because of the illegality of carrying out those tests.

> A recent study found that people who used marijuana had a greater likelihood of suicidal ideation, plan and attempt than those who did not use the drug at all.

As the underlying paper at https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... points out, "Future research is needed to examine the increase in suicidality and to determine whether it is cannabis use or overlapping risk factors that increase risks for both.".

Eg, people experiencing suicidal ideation could be self-medicating with marijuana, and w/o that option would self-medicate with alcohol and have a higher risk of suicide.
