Then you had a great hospital! My wife and I had our child in late 2020, and our experience was vastly different and much like vlunkr said.

Ours UCSF, pressured and pressured my wife to breastfeed even though her milk was having massive problems coming in. Instead of allowing formula they only allowed donor breast milk supplementation by tubes that were taped to my wife's nipples, to attempt to prevent "nipple confusion".
Build a system. That's how you learn.
> I agree! I just don't think it's what we should be pushing for right now.

While I agree that it's not the only problem at hand (and perhaps not the single most useful change the FCC could make), I think any movement is better than none. If nothing else, the WFH / distance learning situation brought about by the pandemic demonstrated that the current standard for upload speeds is entirely inadequate (and so the proposal increases that from 3 Mbps to 20).

It's also possible that these government agencies are nervous about trying entirely new things, lest the current Supreme Court swat down any such efforts as perceived overreach (as they've done recently to the EPA).

> I think regulators should have a very strong understanding of what they're regulating, or should talk to people who do.

Should != do

It certainly would be nice, but in the last 20 years, the only FCC chairs with relevant prior industry experience were Ajit Pai (Verizon counsel) and Tom Wheeler (CEO of CTIA).

As far as talking to people with experience, guess who's most likely to make sure they're represented at the table? That's right, the incumbent ISPs and their lobbyists.

> To me, this is a bit like saying we should still be measuring all CPUs according to clock-speed, because it's easier for a layperson to understand a single number. (And make no mistake, clock-speed is important!)

Well, we sort of still are, except that one number is Geekbench or whichever other benchmark is popular these days. (Okay, there's also single-threaded vs multi-threaded perf, but there's a strong correlation between the two for consumer-grade CPUs.)

(and I'd expect that your typical consumer doesn't really care much about the CPU details in large part because performance is so opaque now. They probably just buy something with an i7 or the latest generation Macbook and call it a day.)
At this point they've gotten plenty of money from those filters, and they should be replacing them instead of doing their best to pretend upload doesn't exist.

It's a disadvantage vs. somehow knowing the future, but in the absence of future-knowing I bet they still made more money by deploying earlier.

First mover tradeoffs.
Because every Electron app is basically its own Web browser with all of the app's code being JavaScript, rather than the app just being native code. Try running Chrome, Edge, and Safari all at the same time and look what that does to your computer's resource usage. Electron apps basically do the exact same thing.
Ask HN: I always beat the technical interview but never get the gig. Why?
I'm a 35 year old washed up data analyst. I did a degree in Econpmics and did a bunch of jobs basically using vba to automate admin snd make dashboards until I learned python. I've used just about every kind of dashboard tool and database and these days I mostly write python for freelance gigs.

I want a 'real' software developer job but every time I apply I beat the technical interview but never get the job.

I've never had long tenure in the companies I've worked and perhaps my moustache is silly looking. I may lack some interpersonal skills but I try to listen to people and respect them. I think Im pretty agreeable - people pleasing even. But I always seem to not get the job anyway.

Should I just give up and get a job at McDonalds?
Crash of empire? The American Empire is still going quite strong.
I’m actually aware of that. Hacks upon hacks. And it doesn’t address the other issues.

I’m glad axfr works for you and you’re happy with it. I stopped using bind after a multitude of security issues it had over the years and I haven’t looked back. When I did used to use it, I switched to rsync for zone files probably sometime around 2000.

All of this is completely besides my original point: the zone file format needn’t have been an RFC, and probably not AXFR either. As far as I’m aware, no other RFC specifies implementation-specific decisions like the DNS RFCs do. It would be as if the sendmail.cf format had an RFC. AXFR is idiosyncratic and as recently as a decade ago underspecified:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5936

And it looks like there’s still ongoing work to make it secure:

Where I'm from:

"#" => "hash" (never had I heard it being called "pound")

"!" => "exclamation mark/point" (never had I heard it being called "bang")

So to me "#!" was "hash exclamation" in my college in home-country.

Then I went to USA for an exchange program, where people consistently called it "she bang" and "pound bang". Took me a while to get it.
One of our biggest problems is our extremely weak state.

There is a separate board of economists at the NBER that meets up and takes a vote after taking into account various economic indicators. If they vote yes, then formally the economy is in a recession. This board is a bit conservative and their recession declarations are usually after the fact (once they have looked at the indicators). So technically we are not in a recession yet.
Say sql database:

Teams have agreed to use postgres for sql, this is by agreed convention.

A tooling team implement hashicorp vault and build a pg module/deployment that is packaged and accessible through whatever tooling you build.

This makes a datasource of type pg sql available to all teams in a couple of minutes.

These modules/deployments are governed by a bunch of conventions, but those are of no special concern to consuming dev teams.

Use “something” to keep track of service upstream/downstreams: consul, a database, or something else.

When a service is connected to a database, say using consul upstreams you have the job gen api inject the appropriate env vars according to an agreed upon convention.

Now dev teams have an option to deploy incredibly secure pg databases, and by simply setting a service as downstream it will automatically receive rotating connection strings.

There’s no configuration to be managed by dev teams except keeping a service graph up-to-date.

Lot of conventions above, and a tooling dev team with a lot of infra and tooling expertise.

I believe that for scaling dev teams you should look at tooling like a product domain and treat it as such.
Yes... But these companies are still unlikely to give a damn. Software is an expense. It isn't seen as a value add, which is also why you won't see software in any of their advertising.
It's an idea with a long history. BSD and Solaris can also emulate Linux system calls and back in the day IIRC Linux could emulate system calls for some other OSes.

Ask HN: I always beat the technical interview but never get the job. Why?
Is it because I'm in my mid 30s and have a spotty resume and a degree in Economics but none in CS? Are technical interviews only a way to weed out people?
Interesting. I dont know much about her but i love her scores. GITS (Inner Universe; Rise) and Noir (canta per me; salva nos) are still in my playlists after 20ish years.
Hmm, can this explanation work in reverse? I've always found the conservation of momentum to be very confusing. Why does a spinning body cause an orthogonal rotation upon itself and thus any rigid body it's attached to? I know there's math to explain it, but it just doesn't seem intuitive to understand.
They don’t state lots of other things.

Like what “raised separate” means.

Was one raised in a Soviet gulag while the other was raised in an Israeli kibbutz?
Which proprietary blob? What are you talking about? Brave is open source, the only proprietary blob I'm aware of is if you request DRM support, in which case it downloads Widevine but it doesn't ship that by default just like Firefox, for the same reasons.
The Art of War is also an assemblage, much either gathered by or ascribed to Sun Tzu, and comprising in large part of commentaries on the ground text.

If Art of War has coherence, it's likely much comes in the transmission and transformation, both prior to and following Sun Tzu. The inconvenience of both writing and reproduction also necessitates brevity, though that need not imply clarity.

I'm not sure the distinction made here is a particularly meaningful one.
Fuschiadroid needs to run all legacy Android apps unmodified. App developers definitely do not test on all or even many phones.
I have to agree with the argument that the prior should be that breastfeeding is beneficial and we would need massive and strong evidence to the contrary to change that position. It is an expensive process so it must have an evolutionary advantage.

The analysis presented here seems convincing in the sense that we don’t have good evidence that breastfeeding increases IQ. But from what I remember there is good evidence that it improves the baby’s immune system among many other things.

So bottom line is in the absence of massive amounts of strong evidence against breastfeeding, by default you should favour it. And if in the end the IQ effect isn’t real at least you improved your baby’s health (and hence survival chances). If you have the option to breastfeed, go for it.

And as the article stated, if for whatever reason you cannot or will not you probably don’t need to feel too bad about it because the effects while positive are at the margin to the best of our current knowledge and formula is getting better every decade.
That scoundrel! :)
Yeah.

I would suggest though, that the jump from “500hp sports car” to F1 is quite a lot bigger than 125cc GP bike (or Moto3 these days) to a premier class MotoGP (or 500cc GP) bike.

Those things were tiny little jewels of pure race bike, a world apart from even my Cagiva Mito (125cc sports street bike).

I’ve ridden a friends late 90s vintage Honda RS125 at a track day, and it’s such a joy to ride, beautifully precise - and way way more capable that I’ll ever be on a racetrack. I could match my own personal best lap times on my 900cc Ducati, but the club level racers could do 10 seconds a lap or so faster than me on their 125GP bikes, and the GP riders from 5 or 6 years earlier when the World Championship ran on the same track were almost 10 seconds faster in races than the club guys.
It could mean that. It could also mean that there are some parts of working in a group (instead of solo) that are non-negotiable, such as periodically meeting with that group even if it is on a call.

The author is only tackling the IQ studies. I think the multitude of other benefits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastfeeding) aren’t really debated because it’s proven medically.

In the absence of health issues to the mother, breastfeeding is always preferable.
Regarding Electron, i don't understand why anyone would want to go this route. I work in finance and desktop native apps (Winforms, WPF) have far more mature libraries, better performance and time to market compared to web GUIs. With Electron, we first write web apps and then wrap inside electron and then reinvent the wheel - this is so stupid.
Where on the planet is beer more accessible than clean drinking water?
I think explicit might be better, because it goes beyond that. For example, pressing ctrl+v while having text highlighted should replace the text on Windows, but doesn't always with non-native editors.

edit: btw, great article. I've worked on a cross-platform application (Windows, Linux, OSX) which went from using wxWidgets to Qt. Quite painful either way, and while Qt was a fair bit better on OSX at the time we still had to use tons of ifdefs and per-platform configuration.

And while I've been a win32 GUI programmer for decades, I totally get why people reach for Electron or embedded web servers. It's a really hard problem space with lots of trade-offs to be made.
the word "shebang" was a common word in the middle of the last century, so with exclamation point being bang, and i think more likely, shell starting with "sh", it was undoubtedly straight up selected because of the match to the word. "If you put a script in a file and start it with a hash and make it executable, /bin/sh will run the whole shebang for you" would be an accurate use of the word shebang. A similar bit of slang would be "/bin/sh will run the whole shootin' match for you"
I wouldn't say it 'doesn't matter'. We get by, sure; but that doesn't mean the situation is ideal. On my laptop, if I try pinch-zooming, safari seems to do bilinear scaling, and firefox CPU usage will dramatically spike. The former is noticeably ugly; the latter is bad for battery life, and may stutter if work is being done in the background (laptops and phones don't yet have hundreds of cores).

Very interesting, I learned something today, thank you!
I used to work with a very experienced SE (something like 20+ years) who worked at EA a little after this article was written. Man I thought it was just a reddit bandwagon to hate on EA but hearing a first hand account of how his managers treated him and the rest of his team was jaw dropping. Manager walking back and forth with a bullhorn shouting about bugs that needed to be fixed at midnight on a Saturday, firing a (according to him) great dev weeks before his wife was going to have their child, the constant backstabbing politics, driving someone to suicide (though he felt very uncomfortable expanding on that).

Though reading this I can't help but wonder if there is a better model for releasing games to avoid crunch -- something like what minecraft did. Give access to an unfinished game, then do a rolling release and slowly make it better and better.
I pay $40 for a Verizon FIOS connection. It's marketed as 300Mbps but my speed test just now showed 120Mbps. But it also consistently exceeds 100Mbps on the upstream. It's easily the best home internet connection I've had since the university dorms in the late 90's. They also offer 1Gbps for $70, which is tempting but really unnecessary for my needs.

I don't understand why I'm getting such an amazing deal! It's a fixed price, not a special. And this is in Manhattan, where most things are noticeable more expensive than in the rest of the country!

Previously, I lived in SF and was forced to use Comcast because they were the only option in my old, rent-controlled building. I paid a lot more, both for the service and for modem rental, but received much slower speeds. I hope the FIOS model is finally making it to more of the country. But 3 years ago I couldn't even get it in downtown SF!
They're already getting in trouble for licensing restrictions, this probably wouldn't help.
Yes, that's exactly on point. The other half of the meaning relates to the quotes - it's not the videogame that's the "Mother of All Games" - it's war itself (meant cynically, of course). People in power scorching the earth is one of the oldest games.
This is true, but there is a survivorship bias. Someone who sticks around gains credit from the work of those who left. Exponential growth in a core business means promotions for everyone. Someone who is considered "good" gets looped into key projects. After 4-5 years these become a self-fulfilling prophecy in some organizations, as "good" people get attached to the growth drivers.

Do you have a Patreon/whatever setup, since "this is the way" per baby Yoda?
The analysis is actually quite different. Bottle feeding has massive advantages for division of labor among parents. I did all the night feedings for my first two kids so my wife could get some much needed sleep. She didn’t have to pump which is often so much trouble it’s not worth it. Moreover, they now associate me with being the nighttime parent, so when they’re sick or having trouble sleeping I’m the one they come to, not mom.

Losing that flexibility would be worthwhile only if there was strong evidence that breastfeeding had advantages that can’t be replicated with formula. On that front it should be noted that the vast majority of GenX and older millennials were formula fed, as breastfeeding rates plummeted in the 1970s and 1980s. If there was a massive impact from that it would have been apparent.

> for instance you can use : instead of #! and, if I remember correctly, the OS will use "the default shell"

when I learned unix around 1980, you had to start a shell script file with a single # on a line by itself, and there was no bang option... but I want to say there was a way to select sh vs csh, though I can't recall it... maybe you had to start with a couple lines of Bourneshell, and that part would relauch csh on the same file. can't remember though. A dozen years later that was a common technique to launch perl scripts tho I don't recall why.
Ok so you want the flaw in your reasoning.

Imagine a hula hoop. It’s spinning, but otherwise not moving. Mentally divide it up into lots of little chunks.

Each chunk has a little bit of linear momentum.

1. Is each chunk’s linear momentum constant in time? No, because its direction of motion is changing. Hm, that’s unfortunate.

2. What about if you do R x p, the radius of the loop crossed with the momentum of that little chunk. That gives you a quantity for each chunk that’s unchanging. That’s called the angular momentum of that chunk.

If you add the angular momentum for all the chunks, you get the total angular momentum.

So you see that angular momentum works just like linear momentum. You take a conserved quantity for a single chunk and add up over all the chunks.

You’re free to think of all the little particles and their linear momentum, but that isn’t so useful, since summing the linear momenta gives you zero, whereas summing R x p gives you something to reason about.

One problem here is the difference between “complies with GPLv2” and “upstream”.

I can dump a bunch of ugly driver code into an old version of Linux, backport some features that I care about from newer kernel versions, and then give you a tarball with the sources and a GPLv2 license. Is that compliant? Yes. Is it gonna get upstreamed? No.

The coupe you speak of was the Ukrainian General Election. In the west that is referred to as democracy.
So... Russia is burning the Ukrainian crop, and is hoping they can hold the whole planet hostage with their harvest.

I'm hoping there's a way to get their wheat while simultaneously screwing them over back to the dark ages.

This makes me almost as angry as the West investing in more oil and gas in response to being held hostage by fossil fuel producers.

I read that less than 1% of the 18-29 year-old crowd "strongly approves" of DC's half-assed responses to these crises.

I hope they have the sense to vote in their own interest this fall. Sadly, the same polls say that, like most generations were before them, they're still young and stupid, and are planning to stay home from the polls. Some things never change.
