I get what you're saying (I worked in fiom and tv for eons before switching out), but you can't really do it like that. Comparison needs to include both what the movie was built on, leading to it, and then also to consider directors own body of work leading to it. That takes into account period of work and release as well. What came after (not immediately) is not relevant to the work itself since it's out of period (in future). To even start talking in this direction you'd have to invoke, serially, works like Clockwork Orange, American Graffiti, Taxi Driver, and then Midnight Express to even start outlining the silhouette of what is to come.with Blade Runner.. and that's just a start since Ridley Scott's path is a bit unusual, and that movie's genesis especially so (see Legend he did sonce it's close to the period). That only covers the basics of the basics of discussing of what and specifically why this particular work is the way it is and why emulating the moves later (2049) didn't yield the same.

Edit: typing on mobile. Screw it, I hope it's at least somewhat readable.
No less ridiculous than other similar documents out there
You're not helping. Maybe try and ask a question or contribute some knowledge. This person is misinformed and all you're doing is cement his beliefs that his opponents are clueless and spiteful.
Those are all variants of tunic, which dates back to the ‘70s. The differences are more like climate controls in different cars than significantly different tools.

I recently got a copy of this and could only come to the conclusion that they were doing a lot of drugs in the 1970s:

They said that the world is bad software on top of bad software, so it’s not one thing. It’s everything being bad and working around everything else being bad.
As someone who applied to every YC company in my region, I find their funded companies do lots of unsavory things. I stopped buying from one because they were using deceptive marketing, and I stopped applying to one after the Glassdoor talked about the long hours and racist incidents.

There's a kind of YC culture where they believe nice guys do well [1]. And they're likely biased towards funding nice people. But after they're funded, they don't really have any control over the company.

> I loath the speedy sci fi that tries to touch on atmosphere and then hurries along with their paper characters and so on.

Post-Blade-Runner movies can spend less time developing their aesthetic and setting specifically because they can "import" the Blade Runner vibe "by reference", as it were, while Blade Runner had to build up the whole thing from scratch.

To fair, importing a setting this way isn't necessarily lazy: doing so allows the derivative film maker to spend more time on the things that make his film unique. There's only so long an audience will tolerate.
You're right to be skeptical about anything in the audio industry. The decades-long tide of absolute snake oil is massive and it is toxic. Additionally, you're absolutely correct about diminishing returns being an extremely real thing in audio land.

But for hobbiest applications, which is better?

For the purposes of this reply, I'm defining "correct" sound as "low in distortion, with good dispersion characteristics -- ie the sound remains the same over a wide listening angle"

There has been some pretty decent randomized research from Toole, Olive, etc. that both trained and untrained listeners have a preference for correct sound. It is something that nearly everybody enjoys more, even if they don't know why. In the sense that most people who like butter would enjoy high-quality, grass-fed butter more than they would enjoy the cheapest possible stuff, even if they didn't give a whit about where the butter came from.

For sound... as with any engineering challenge, it's always going to be a tug of war between desirable characteristics such as price, size, power consumption, sound quality, how loud it gets, etc.

Anyway.

If you're building some kind of portable boombox - I highly doubt the extra performance provided by ICEpower would be worth the premium.

If you're listening to something at home in a decent listening environment... then maybe it would be worth it. Even a quiet room is going to have a noise floor of like 40+ dB.

However, at the end of the day, the speakers themselves make the biggest difference.
> a raspberry pi can pretty much serve 100k req. / second. An average dev laptop should be able to handle 1M req. / second without much issues

Depends on what you do. It's quite easy to hit these numbers with a low number of static pages, but apps that can easily work with static pages usually don't have DevOps people. That's why I went with thousands, to have a reasonable number for an app that actually does some complex processing.
There's a reason people end up doing plain ops and calling it devops: it's often too costly to handle this as “a task that should be done by the developers”.

Specialization makes people much more productive, because they face the same kind of issues over and over and know how to fix them quickly. When you distribute the load in your organization, everybody is going to face problems, struggle, learn and never reuse that knowledge again.
Of the two senses I could find of the verb to frog, namely:

>To ornament or fasten (a coat, etc.) with trogs

and

>To hunt frogs for food

, neither one makes sense in the context of the headline.
But they could just strike all the ones that mention god and hell and not lost anything of value. I also think the morality only rings true if you were raised in a Christian dominated society. No one living in the real world can afford to love their enemies. That's what people in monasteries can say but not ones who are responsible for protecting people.
I just saw the movie for the first time and had quite some expectations. It was the directors cut. And while the overall setting was interesting and there were quite good scenes in it, for me it was just too long and I found it quite boring. Mainly the awfully stretched fight at the end put me off.
Not sure if I should or want to revisit it after some time. As I also did not really find the sequel that convincing.
But it got me thinking in what people see in these movies which I can’t.
It's not the sellers that are the problem, it's the search engine. It outright ignores entire words in my search results. Try searching for "2TB SSD" and seeing all the results for 1TB drives and HDDs promoted up to the top of the results. Damn it Amazon, you should be trying to up sell me to 4TB SSDs, not down sell to tiny 1TB or smaller devices!
I was bored with it when I first saw it, I'm still bored with it having seen it again recently. It's just so....full of itself. Like oh my god, you think you're trying to say something deep and meaningful, but you really aren't. The cinematography is still incredible and the film deserves all the praise in that department. But the whole philosophical argument being made there has the depth of a teaspoon. I just laugh when the villain makes his monologue at the end, you can almost feel the writer behind those lines straining with all their might to write something, anything that would be interesting in any way, and just failing completely.
Lots of companies excel at playing big business without actually being a big business (or having a remote chance of becoming one). They simply lug around the kind of infrastructure that might be suitable for a company ten times their size. Ironically, it isn't rare that that extra infrastructure and the cost and effort to maintain it limit them in the marketplace.
Looks like you know what there are some problems (at least in your POV) with your current life.

Take a sabbatical[0] and try to understand what do you need to be a happier person.

Ok, and?

It's the people in the west where the companies make the most profit.

If the larger share of the consumers start rejecting companies that base their businesses on exploiting user data, advertisers are not going to say "oh, now we can only in India", they are going to say "we still need to find ways to reach customers. If our customers are using only privacy-focused ad networks, we are going to be there as well."
RTF is still supported by major word processors. You can also open the files as text, RTF is just markdown with control characters.

Tangent to the topic but if you’re stuck with old RTF fills something else is wrong with them.
I agree. There is no reason ML tech should perform worse than traditional software, allowing privacy as per GDPR and CA regulations, at the very least.

The input datasets should be managed as per GDPR/CA regulations, with clear flags protecting privacy of EU citizens and CA residents. And any derived models should propagate these labels and not allow querying information violating these regulations.

If GitHub Colab implementation or and GPT-3/4 models were developed without these regulations in mind these models should be retrained.

Yes, it is a hard research problem. Yet, there is no reason these models should be allowed to violate privacy in worse ways than traditional software.
Increasing life expectancy doesn't change the shortness of it. You still grow old at 50 regardless of when you die.

Recently I showed a development team how to use a debug tool that can automatically collect debug snapshots from production that can be opened with one click in the IDE. It’ll jump to the line of code and show the state of everything — not just the stack but the heap too.

My demo is to pick a random crash and diagnose the root cause while talking. The mean time to resolution is low single digit minutes.

I showed this to an entire team, one person at a time, solving bugs as I went. I showed the junior devs, senior devs, and their manager.

No interest. None. Just… silence.

The tools are amazing, but the lack of motivation from the typical developers for learning to use them is even more amazing.
In New York the environment is most definitely trying to kill you. Spend a winter without heat to see what I mean.

We’ve just solved the “how to keep your house warm” problem a lot earlier than “how to keep it cool” so you don’t think of heating as spiting the environment, even though it is.
Hey saaaaaam . I'd love to pick your brains a bit on this. I'm working on a web3 protocol ("Legato") relating to many of these issues. Any way we can connect? (I can't find a way to DM you on HN). roy at osherove .dot [com]

> A perfect storm of events has led to a once-in-a-lifetime discovery for a gold miner, a First Nation, a veteran paleontologist and a territory.

Saying 'a First Nation' like that is equivalent to saying 'a female' - which people also mistakenly say - or 'a British', which nobody would say.

'Canadian' happens to be both adjective and (proper) noun; that doesn't mean everything is, eh.
You’re really not getting it huh. I can ask you the same question and you can give me the same subjective reasons I could give you. Why are you so stuck on this? You need to stop looking at this with emotion and apply some critical thinking.
I think Seneca would roll his eyes at most of these responses TBH. Who cares if you're just gaming to "pass the time"? When you're gaming, you're having fun and enjoying your life in the moment. It's only afterward when you start the cycle of criticizing yourself for not doing something "productive" with that time that the negative feelings enter. In fact, the whole exercise of feeling bad about yourself for playing a fun game and relaxing is exactly PART of the problem Seneca talks about - unless your gaming habits cause you to destroy your links to other important sources of joy and health, you shouldn't feel bad about having a fun "pastime" activity, that is just as valid as keeping a garden or reading a good book of fiction.
Yeah, I had a similar intuition about that approach possibly being weak or problematic. However, if my cursory reading of the algorithm is at all correct, the goal may simply be to consistently choose another hash value (a different min hash) and it may work fine. In other words, the same hash values would be considered the minimum after XORing with a random number and they will be different from the initial hash that was selected as the minimum without XORing. Those are the behaviors that matter and not so much that the hashes that result from the XORing are cryptographically secure.
Oh, trust me I wish I never could relate to the ADHD symptoms, but for better or for worse it exists. Heck, the concept of Alzheimer's sounds very suspicious ("How do you forget your name!?")... until you see someone with it and then it's just sad :(
My sibling in humanity. I beg you. Read about the history of fascism and its contemporary movements instead of just parroting ill informed bumper stickers, because you’re about half a step away from saying the that the Democratic Republic of Germany was democracy.
That's a fair assessment. I like them, I don't like the mythology of star wars movies. And not even the originals, people actually think the prequels are some misunderstood masterpieces...
What religion do you think Lemoine holds? Lemoine has identified as a pagan and as a mystic Christian.
In 1957 Fleming wrote his sixth James Bond book, Doctor No -- in which the eponymous villain runs a guano mine in the Caribbean.

Even some decades after the Haber–Bosch process was invented, stripping massive islands of these resources was still lucrative.
I agree. I think it's fundamentally a flaw of the voting system: the idea that previous users should be able to anonymously and indirectly influence the visibility of a message or post to future users.
I agree with most of what you say, and in particular with companies' love for the term, but I disagree that "the work remains largely the same". When I got started on this line of work, we used cvs to track program code and we used backups to 'track' infrastructure, including code used to manage the infra (mostly shell scripts, though not only that).

There's a long path from that to ansible and terraform on SCM.

Another big difference I have experienced: we used to literally celebrate server uptime (I mean as a celebration, I have a distinct memory of gathering around an IBM "fridge" to celebrate the uptime birthday of a particular RS/6000) while now a piece of infra with too much uptime is a red flag about potential vulnerabilities.

What does largely remain the same, I think, are the skills needed to be good at this. Then, and now, we need people who don't mind reading manuals, searching online (this was already a thing when I started, I guess you'd have to go back to the mid 90s for this to not be the case?) , who can keep track of where they've been during a debugging/troubleshooting session, that sort of thing.

Another thing that changed is that in the past some people considered it a badge of honor to be assholes to others not in sysadmin, even more to others not in IT (remember those "select * from users where clue > 0" t-shirts, or the BOFH stories?), while now that's typically frowned upon and quite a few companies are explicit about a no assholes policy in their hiring material (or perhaps I've just been lucky with my teammates and smarter when picking where to work at than when I was younger).
Most microcomputers were called "Personal Computers" back even before IBM's PC came out. i.e. the Apple II was a personal computer. The generic term just meant you were not sharing the machine with someone else.
"Let's face it" - anyone who brings their preferences to the table as indisputable truths held by all reasonable, i.e. non "pretentious", folk, could probably do with some long expository chats with other film fans in a good cafe around the corner from a good cinema.
"The industry didn't scale out of it for fun, but necessity". Necessity at Google scale is not necessarily necessity for a startup.
I have a personal opinion about voice-overs that were removed in later editions. Typically, people hate them, and truly, they are somewhat out of place when you hear them.

However, they get much better on subsequent viewings of more modern cuts, when you don't hear them, but you remember them.
The entire state of Nevada is allocated 4% of the water from the Colorado. Almost every residential property, and recently the commercial ones as well, is xeriscaped with rock. Yeah there are a few golf courses and hotel fountains which do as much water recycling as they can and look out of place in the desert, but Las Vegas is not particularly significant to the South West's water problems really.
Social media posts may be bad for you brain, but my personal opinion of Gravity’s Rainbow is that ~everyone who “enjoys” that painful slog does so because of the “literary” status “enjoying” Gravity’s Rainbow affords them

Star wars has literal space magic. Hard disagree. It's not in any way speculative fiction - it's a fantasy story told in a sci Fi aesthetic.

LOTR is explicitly a fantasy story in a fantasy aesthetic. Magic can be technology but it doesn't try to be in either of the stories you mention.
Apparently stressful situations (university, becoming a parent) can cause folk's lives to fall apart revealing adhd that was being till then coped with okay (like in my case - I moved to a different continent for my degree). Covid too caused a huge shift for a lot of folks who may have been able to cope till then. (Personally I don't think ADHD is binary - autism is now understood as a spectrum, I think ADHD should be too.)

Fun fact, I have diabetes too ;) Fun life lol
I was there too and some things were better, some thing were worse.

The problem is that we’re being sold a lie and it’s hard to swallow.

“Cloud will save you on staffing costs” - no, it just means you have specialists working on proprietary solutions, just like IBM mainframes or storage appliances or load-balancers/traffic-shapers of yore.

“This technology will make rollouts easier” - until it breaks down and is not easy to put together again, you’re at the mercy of your upstream and you had better hope you keep a really solid update cadence and not introduce something you can’t consume later.

“Layers on layers means things are composable” - sometimes, but you need more people to know more things to put it together properly. Running everything from QuickStarts is doomed to fail, but I see so much of it.

Our config management tools back in the day were crummy as hell, cfengine being the only notable one (which was awful), our monitoring systems required a lot more handholding and truthfully: people were not happy to talk through requirements; which was probably why “devs run production” was appealing.

these things have gotten better, but nearly everything else has definitely gotten worse.
Yeah, I'm not opening any movie topics on HN based on replies to this one :D
The idea of a gruff but charismatic Harrison Ford ticking the story along isn't a bad one I suppose.

Agreed that power consumption is a big factor. Something is crazy that these things are 10w. My i5-9600t's idle at 6w (albeit I think Im a bit better than Patrick at tuning boards).

My interest is less in a routing system, & more in having a microserver with some real capacity for use, for running some basic local services. I agree there's a place for old slow low power systems but personally i think some ambition for both low power (at low usage) and ability to scale up on demamd just makes sense & is to be expected. For a price, and not a vast one.
Just finished watching the video. Really appreciated, than you.

I had actually already felt a strange sensation when I saw their use of apes for this NFT and the logo that reminded me of the SS emblem. I felt a little bit stupid to think about this and ended up discarding this idea entirely.

The author seems to have done extensive research on the topic, I find it hard to tell if it's just about looking for signs that don't exist or if it's actually one of the major racist conspiracies I've seen in my professional life.

No, that's not the impression I have, but I wasn't in the US at the time. It was definitely more liberal than anywhere in Europe for sure though. Don't you remember all the articles about how Sweden is "doing nothing"?
Hampton Fancher I think once said the question is more interesting than the answer, I'm inclined to agree, although once you notice the nudging in the sequel it's more funny than anything else.
That's a bit disingenuous to actual engineers trying to solve problems and genuinely believing their solution can make things better.

Also, looking at principles over tooling, DevOps has a lot to offer that trivially make sense.

Holding a view is different than thinking the view is OK to hold.

AND, most people (you'd accuse of thinking the view is ok to hold) don't think these views *are* ok to hold, but are caught in a purposefully wide net.

Like, often we hear that:
* proposition 8 was fascist
* brendan eich is a fascist because he donated to it
* supporting brendan eich is fascist

I agree with marriage equality. (it is actually good conservatism, even!) But I disagree that prop 8 was fascist (and according to some that probably makes me a fascist as well)
