OK. I’ll walk that back, a bit. It’s the idea that some people get, that they can determine the sum total of another person, from a momentary interaction.

Let’s just say that some of the best people I’ve ever known, have “dead fish” handshakes.

Mine is “middlin’,” not too strong, not too weak. Tells you exactly nothing about me, and that’s how I like it.

Most people are a continuum. I know right bastards that are very loyal and standup, and very nice people that are totally unreliable, and I never count on them.

Most relationships are “give and take.” We find that we can work intimately with people that we wouldn’t want to invite over for dinner.

The beginner/journeyman/expert bell-curve meme images benefit from being posted in context with an existing discussion. By themselves, they don't carry enough information to be useful. It's the reason behind the placement that matters.

I'll use the OP's first item, Kubernetes, as an example because I'm familiar with it.

> [Common Practice]: You should always use Kubernetes and other
> "correct" infrastructure.
>
> Beginners/Experts: Don't Use Kubernetes, Yet. Use the simplest
> abstraction you need for now.

So, first, is that really common practice? Overwhelmingly I've seen Kubernetes struggle for adoption among intermediate-level engineers because they're familiar with local development but still getting used to the basics of running software "in the cloud", and find the complication around replicated distributed systems off-putting.

Second, the reasons for "don't use Kubernetes" are often vastly different between the two "tails" of the bell-curve. A bad reason to reject universal Kubernetes is because the person wants to build everything out of Puppet and bash scripts, held together by human suffering (aka "on-call"). A good reason is to note that some bits of infra are adjacent to (or below) Kubernetes in the dependency graph; you don't necessarily want your distributed scheduler to be a hard dependency for log ingestion or certificate issuing.

Third, I'm suspicious of any sort of advice that can be inverted without being obviously incorrect. Let's try that here (and also split/elaborate the tails):

> [Common Practice]: Don't Use Kubernetes, Yet. Use the simplest
> abstraction you need for now.
>
> Beginners: You should always use Kubernetes and other
> "correct" infrastructure. Best practices exist and should be
> followed without wasting time on the "why".
>
> Experts: Kubernetes should be the standard API between product
> and infrastructure. The additional local complexity introduced
> by containers pays off by reducing global complexity and
> enforcing shared technical contracts between teams.

This more closely matches my experience in the industry (beginners and experts both pushing for Kubernetes, with rejection of it by the "middle"). But! Big but! Note that both versions could be a sample of the same bell curve, depending on where you sliced it. Trying to allocate positions to beginner/journeyman/expert contains an implicit parameter of the writer's own location on the global curve, and which portions of it they have visibility into.
Places you do business with (like your bank) are already allowed to call you regardless of your Do Not Call registry status.

There is more to life, and indeed more to the economy, than "getting vc funding".

There is also such a thing as "HN bias".
Interesting, however, I have experienced ringing in my ears after getting home from clubs/ loud music events only to wake up in the morning and have my hearing back to normal.

Not sure how ‘temporary tinnitus’ can be explained by this theory.
Same business model, so similar margins and problems BUT Uber has 10x more brand presence, cash flow, runway and valuation.

Both companies are crashing down but one of them is closer to the floor.
OK, what's the napkin math?
I imagine it's to ensure it will run ASAP in case the scheduler crashes, power failure or whatever. Systemd has a similar feature "Persistence" for timers but it's configurable.
Yes, lots of insight and personal growth - improved self-confidence, greater happiness, overcoming clinical depression and being happy, clarity about what I wanted, overcoming fear of intimacy, my first big relationship, finding more ability to be myself, making more friends. I'd share them but I'm a little burnt out by sharing so many highly personal details of my life publicly here. All my therapists and coaches seem to like me a lot because I dive into the work and am willing to take feedback.
Yeah, where I'm at most "important" stuff is at least in a doc somewhere separate from chat or email.
I thought we were all working from home these days?

Actually, GTK 4 is already a mess on X11, try to move/resize the window to see the window tear, flicker and misrender.
I've posted this before but nobody seems to like it, do people here not use Telegram?
Your link goes to the YouTube homepage.
I’m not sure I agree. People in NYC are in for the market - you just have to beat the existing haphazard setup, create a unified payment and support and order taking platform, and do as well as the incumbents in delivery quality.
I use it as well, but it does not have flexibility to setup times or time-limits for certain sites/apps for each user. I used to do that through my router (TP-link) but I had to get a new one (Netgear) which is asking for subscription to use such features.
Apron buses are very common in large airports and I always found it really efficient. From memory I’ve used them at Haneda, Narita and KL. Perhaps the ones in Germany are just altered metro buses though, which would be terrible. Apron buses are efficient due to being low to the ground, having very wide doors to accomodate quick loading and unloading, typically no seats.
I think it depends, and it's just worth trying. My opinion from a cursory test is that it should be easy to migrate for local dev purposes if you have a single entry point for an app that us essentially one or a series of component trees.

The app I work on deoends on an angularjs bootstrapping process, and does some other things that are sort of webpack specific, so we'd need to refactor some bits first.

Vue2 should be pretty easy, at least to see the speed improvements locally which is its main pitch afaik
Longitudinal cohort study of the displacement of teaspoons (2005)
A clue!
“Supposed to be around delivery for places that did not already offer it” is beside thee point. It isn’t an excuse to be so terrible across the board (but note this isn’t unique to Uber and DoorDash is pretty terrible as well)
Wasn't there also a hacky way to achieve the same goal as registration-free COM even before it existed?
Content marketing spam. Flagged.
non-developer
I mean you’re saying it, and they’re clearly starting to offer it in ny and other places, but perhaps there’s a reason that didn’t work? I can see a million logistical and practical reasons why you couldn’t just make a generic “app for both sides” and let other market owners embrace it. Uber succeeded initially by actually doing the “dirty and unethical” ground work beyond software. I really doubt their tech stack had anything to do with their success.
There is nothing wrong with food delivery when used in moderation. I use DoorDash once a week to get a lunch delivered on a day where I have meetings running through lunchtime. It saves me time and hassle, and is a fun change of pace. It also came in very handy when a family member of mine was very ill and I wasn’t in the same city. I could order food and have it delivered to them. The service is nothing like cigarettes, where the only point of the product is to get you addicted enough to keep buying more, and eventually give you cancer.

That’s not to say that DoorDash et al. aren’t enabling people with food addiction problems, just to point out that there are very many real good uses for the service.
That is of course wholly false. It is why solar farms are going up all over the world, counted in thousands, while nukes are not.

Storage is cheap. We have myriad alternatives, according to local requirements. Efficiency used to be a worry, but solar has got so cheap, you just add panels to make up the difference.
Dude, I'm just addressing this: "So things that can look like anemia can be other things! Case in point, my wife was misdiagnosed for months with Anemia."

Which is a bit of a confused statement.

> Saying this patient was "correctly diagnosed with anemia" would be like diagnosing a cancer patient currently undergoing chemotherapy with male pattern baldness.

No, that's a pretty shit analogy and completely wrong. First, because chemotherapy doesn't cause "male pattern baldness" - the mechanisms aren't the same. So that's just wrong - while someone with a hemoglobin of 4 has anemia, whatever the underlying cause may be - it isn't a look alike - it is.

Second, diagnosing Alopecia (secondary to chemotherapy) is a perfectly reasonable diagnosis. Because it is something that doctors do manage with specific things separately from the chemotherapy and other cancer treatment, eg wigs, scalp cooling.

People can have more than one relevant diagnosis that they are treated for and are interrelated. For instance, if someone has anemia that is due to something like a GI bleed, they have both a GI bleed and anemia. If their hemoglobin is less than 7 you will likely treat that anemia with a blood transfusion independent of what you're doing to manage the GI bleed.
GI bleed, iron deficiency, malabsorption, microcytic anemia are all diagnoses - they may be all interrelated.

> A more accurate and helpful diagnosis would probably be something like "Babesiosis"--anemia caused by ticks

But babesiosis is not anemia. It often occurs with it, but the diagnostic criteria for babesiosis is blood smear or PCR. If someone has a smear positive for babesia then they have babesiosis regardless of their Hgb/Hct.

And notably they listed a bunch of tick borne illnesses listed, babesiosis was not among them.
Doesn't amount to much if any one of those sites is on a watchlist.
Click bait writers waste 365 days a year by merely existing.
Yup good call, Angular.js seems more likely than Backbone now that you mention it.
Is this /s?

I mean—-tongue in cheek—-are you trying to illustrate that Safari actually goes above and beyond here by looping infinitely on a page that is about a scam that is essentially about an ad technique that loops you endlessly?
Right idea generally but in that scenario it would be like making a diagnosis of alopecia which just means hair loss. In any case some diagnoses don’t have clear explanations or subdivisions for decades or centuries until explanatory medical science catches up with the descriptive diagnoses like anemia or alopecia.
The question is why restaurants would sign up to a niche boutique service. They are super unhappy about the cut UberEats and friends charge, and the only real impetus to get them on was a pandemic that shut down restaurants totally.

Nowadays, I see restaurants charging easily $5-10 above their in-person list price on delivery apps, and some have left entirely now that normalcy has returned and they don’t have to put up with it.
Wish these were more 'angry zoomer tears' inducing, matching the meme format. At their best, these memes reveal a controversial opinion of some expert that cuts through industry bullshit that masquerades as 'best practice'.

No all good I do appreciate the questioning. Makes us think.

Without going back to my textbooks a good example is iron deficiency, if you are Iron deficient your body cannot effectively transport oxygen in the blood. As it is part of hemoglobin which carries oxygen around the body. Without it you will develop Anemia. Women experience Iron deficiency symptoms much more than men due to menstruation.

Furthermore, Calcium which is essential for bone health, its absorption is aided by iron as well.

Vitamin D, a common deficiency in people that work night shift jobs or underground in the mining industry. Usually need to take supplements.

I do wish I could link some studies to further illustrate "the why" but I don't have enough time. But overall, we don't need much of these at all and we certainly don't NEED to hit our recommended daily intake everyday. The tricky part is if you're quite deficient in one vitamin, it can impact your adsorption of other nutrients as well which can cause larger impacts.

One of the challenges with the food and nutrition industry is the marketing around "if you take vitamins and minerals they will change your life". For the majority of us they won't, but they might if you're deficient. They aren't something you can take that will make you wake up tomorrow magically a better and happier person. Which is how they're marketed, like all things sensationalised.
> how about opening up UPI to international users?

That is exactly what India is doing. Remember that banking is a heavily regulated industry. That is why it needs a government to government push to get the regulators of each country talking to integrate such systems internationally. But then lobbying and protectionism also comes into picture to prevent such integration happening - do you think Mastercard and Visa like such alternate payment infrastructures or that US, Russia or China like a more open international system if it means they lose some leeway?

By launching a pilot, expanding it slowly nationally, India has proved the robustness of the UPI design and also addressed practical unanticipated scenarios in its usage. India is now confident about their design and system and thus have begun talks with other countries to expand internationally. It's now all about national and international politics only.
So, you think the job should be done. That's cool, believe what you believe.

But your reply to FredPret presents a false dichotomy - that the only options are do it with little bloodshed, or do it with much. I was (trying to) point out the false dichotomy - FredPret doesn't have to want either of those choices, and in fact, most of us want neither of them.

And presenting people with a false dichotomy, as if those are the only options, is a bit of crummy rhetorical trick. We try to be better than that here.

And to you, specifically, I would say: Beware the fourth option. (First is change with little bloodshed, second is change with a lot of bloodshed, third is no attempt at change.) The fourth option is lots of bloodshed, but no real change (as in the French Revolution, where they swapped a king for the Directory, and then for the Emperor). Just going the bloodshed route doesn't guarantee that you win; if you do win, it doesn't guarantee that the change is progress. Don't be eager to open that door.

Now, in fairness, in your initial post you advocated nonviolent means of making it impossible for the elite to function as the elite. If you are going to try to get rid of them, I applaud your choice of starting point. But you seem far to willing to move to violence if non-violence doesn't get you where you want, and that concerns me.
Our recruiters are more than a little excited by this. Any Meta SWE, SRE or similar (US and elsewhere) that are thinking about "self selection" feel free to ping me.
I love the "small team of focused engineers" trope for apps like uber. It's so easy to blow past that number. Website? That's a team. iPhone app? That's a team. Android? Another team. Data collection and A/B testing platform for all the front ends? Another team. Backend? A team. Infrastructure? Another team. AI solutions for problems like delivery time estimation? Another very expensive team. BI for the executives? You guessed it, another team!
Microsoft sharply curtails class action rights
Having your core as v6 only lets you push NAT to limited places (one of the many options for 4x6x4 NAT, including stateless options if you're willing to cut certain corners off v4).

And v6 connections help drop the pressure on NAT resources - and sites that are optimizing for mobile connections are already going to be on IPv6 where possible (due to mobile networks prioritizing v6 traffic for various reasons, including licensing - and NAT resource costs)
We have good membrane technology now. Lay it on the water surface, so only the H2 gets through.

Does oxygen dissolve more readily in water than does hydrogen? If so, you just keep a continuous flow of water so it doesn't saturate before it moves on, but the hydrogen still bubbles out.

I doubt you want the water hanging about, heating up, anyway.
You appear to be mistaking your personal preferences for universal human ideals. This is an easy mistake to make, as the things we want feel obvious and natural; it can be hard to imagine not wanting them, or wanting something contrary. It's OK to want whatever it is you want, but we're all different, and we really do want different things.
Wow, strong disagree. Having interviewed a couple of candidates from this space, even for just rideshare pricing for both demand and supply sides is an incredibly sophisticated statistics and economics problem, where appropriate modeling can have long term revenue impact.

Even within this vertical it seems you’d need a lot more than 15 engineers.
In Australia, the thing called an "art union" used to be how to raise money for charity, and the prize was often a home, and they really exist, and people did win and live in them, and some of them were classics of the low spot of the 60s and 70s, shag-pile carpet, sunken entertainment pit, volcano-stone fireplace...

They still take place. I suspect the buildings have moved with the (architectural) times.
Have been thinking about this idea. Are there any open source implementations of diffusion models which take an image as an input?
I think this is true, with the caveat that men don't have periods like women do, so taking iron supplements every day for say 5 years might cumulatively add up for them.

But otherwise normal/daily supplements for a few months probably won't be negative and indeed, might even be beneficial for certain subpopulations, like athletes.

Are there any important programs that rely on GTK for their GUIs? We should probably start porting them to Qt or something now, since I think there's a pretty good chance that Wayland still doesn't get full feature parity with X11 by the time all prior versions of GTK are EOL'd.
I know people that love it, but my experience has been that it usually feels like an inefficient use of time. I mostly agree with https://matt-rickard.com/against-pair-programming/ on the same site, especially this bit: 'For existing employees, pairs are often stuck at the speed of the least senior pair.'

It has a few powerful but niche use cases, particularly around mentorship (where I think asynchronous feedback is often too little, too late) and when two people are doing work that's closely intertwined.
Odroid at hardkernal, I like the XU4 that at $53 will run full Linux distros and has A15 and A7 CPUs at 2 GHz, 2GB DDR3, Mali T-628 GPU, USB 3.0 and Gb Ethernet.

Hard to believe you get all that for $53, you wouldn't have to go back that many years to be in a place where you would have been happy to pay $2k for something like that.

While there check out their odroid go for 80 bucks, it's a ready to go gaming platform similar to Nintendo switch.

I have no affiliation with Odroid whatsoever, I just like their products.
Is your ML Model worth putting in production?
I feel like ML is slowly transitioning to a more stable phase, where companies are no longer just green-lighting any ML model to be put in production in the hopes that they will bring unreasonably effective results without proof.

I think this is a good thing, but it is forcing us to ask the question of "how do I know if my model is good enough to replace the current system?". And I don't think that's something we've seriously considered from a business perspective until now.

I discuss a bit about that in the linked blogpost.
