I've the same about the Netherlands. Everyone knows it's a country with huge bicycle ownership and use, then later people discover it also has huge bicycle theft. From talking to people that have lived there, anecdotally all the theft is drunk or mistaken "borrowing".
I don't know a lot about this, but would an example be like when Draghi was at the ECB and he responded with "Whatever it takes" when asked about the S. Europe debt crises?

Or how exactly does nudging look like in practice?
Brighter more easily spotted colors, superstitiously, are supposedly more likely to get someone stopped for common minor traffic infractions.

Have to also add; if self-driving cars saved everyone from gawker blocks and other annoyances that'd be a net gain for nearly never driving again, at least in more highly regulated areas (presumably interstates and highways first).
What other options are there of this type? ClickHouse — anything else?
I feel like these structures are often used to prevent people from getting a raise by raising the bar too far
Of course people should know some of the basics of hardware and software development. Not knowing the basics or the chain of steps a framework or a protocol takes means you might oversee optimisation or pain points in a certain workflow.

But then again knowing how many bits go in a byte it's not needed to be productive in 99% of the cases.

Then again when a professional software developer can't tell me how many bits go in a byte or cant at least explain to me how to read/use call stack/stack frame in a IDE or terminal etc. I really start to wonder how experienced and professional that developer really is.

Something better than forests you mean?
Wow, this is a nice feature! I'd much rather implement it by having a .txt or .raw file just in the same folder as the HTML page though, rather than having to go in the middle of the URL. I feel like it is more convenient to do so.

Example, rather than https://mahdi.blog/raw/raw-permalinks-for-accessibility/, it would be https://mahdi.blog/raw-permalinks-for-accessibility.raw

It's a minor nitpick really, but I quite like this idea! I think I'll try to implement this for my website too.

As for the other people here wondering why User Agents weren't used for this:

- Using static website hosting goes out the window, which is quite a shame because it makes everything so much easier

- User agents are pretty terrible for determining capabilities and intent (what if someone was using curl to get an actual webpage?)

- It will never cover all types of HTTP clients (a whitelist is pretty terrible as we have seen from various online services restricting Firefox users or Linux users from certain features for no other reason than their user agents weren't in the list the developers used to check for the presence of certain features).
Given that these stocks are priced on their potential to grow and not on the assets they already have, that seems correct.
Any supermarket (or company that does their loss prevention) could run pass their AI and id them in milliseconds.

Same with cars - even if you don't have a licence plate, there are tons of little fingerprints around your car that licence plate reader companies use.
I would argue it's less about "a class of people", and more about "the context/aim of the conversation".

If it's a "discussion", i.e. a conversation with the aim of improving the understanding of all parties involved, "winning" is the worst outcome, and fallacious arguments are likely to be done by accident and gladly corrected.

If it's a debate, then by definition you're trying to win, and all bets are off.

PS. It may be true however that a particular "class of people" enjoys plugging themselves in one type of conversation more than the other.

The untold story of Yugoslavia’s naturist paradise
This is really well done, but I feel like it (and other such frameworks I've seen) all start to fall apart at high levels of seniority.

What makes someone D7 in this framework? The real answer is not in the charts, it's that they're very business critical. Maybe they're some ultra-niche specialist or just the only one who's been at the company since the beginning and knows where the bodies are buried.

Things change in very interesting ways once the power dynamics between employer/employee shifts so the company asking the employee what it will take to make them stay.
I guess you could develop in a high level language and don't know about it. But I guess at some point you would come in contact with that knowledge.

It is quite useful knowledge though, at least in some applications. I do embedded systems where I use bit operations regularly. I also do visualizations in the browser with JS mostly and I cannot remember ever needing to know that a byte is 8 bit (usually). Thinking about it I don't know the exact size of the datatypes I often use either...
Can solar panels power an air source heat pump?
I was wondering the same thing, especially since the x-axis (time) goes all the way back to the year 1800. The oldest surviving photograph is from 1826 according to Wikipedia.
where else are you going to work that pays highest and has better practices than most if not FAANG/HFT?
You can definitely make something functional without knowing how it works. But it will only work until it doesn't, then you won't be able to debug it. Coding javascript for example is removed enough from the internal working of the processor that a lot of details don't matter. But should you need to send a binary data packet somewhere through a websocket...
I have a grade E in A-level philosophy, and given that even subject experts had a hard time, I expect I'll do really badly.

Let's find out…

I scored 1/10, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could fool me with an an entire book generated this way.
Yep. Even in a language like JavaScript it'll come up for handling binary data blobs/streams.
I grew up with 2 labradors that were huge attention seekers. One worked out how to open the back gate and if he escaped he knew we'd find him in a certain retired neighbours garden getting strokes and biscuits. That said, one time someone did break in to our house and the labs kept them pinned by the front door until the police arrived.
I wouldn't call someone not knowing basics "a professional". And this is a basic knowledge not only for programming but networking, too.

This theoretical person from the title does use internet and would like to know how many megabytes per second can be pushed through their n megabits link, no?
Well, to the people to whom the Hebrew Bible belongs, there's a reason Genesis (Bereshit) starts with the second letter of the aleph-bet ("Bet") and not the first ("Aleph")

If we stopped scamming people and did things right the way you described, the system would collapse.
One thing that seems off to me about autonomous trucking is the following:

Imagine a chain of autonomous trucks on a highway — isn't this basically a less energy efficient, less capacity version of a train that pushes a part of the costs onto public infrastructure?

Granted, trucks can also cover the last and the first mile(s) with much more flexibility, but a well designed system that allows you to quickly move containers from trains to trucks and vice versa could do just that as well.

Also: while this might not be as relevant within the US, on the rest of Earth truckers often also handle the customs at national borders and need to interact with certain laws. E.g. last week Bavaria, Germany banned trucks from taking non-highway routes to Austria. Not sure how an autonomous vehicle would honor this, or how police would be able to stop them. The mechanisms for doing all the things beyond just driving are just not there.
because they are relative to who interviews you, 2 different people will give you completely different reasons
From the point of view of Java, .NET and JavaScript, integrating anything other than C++ is exactly the reason why I stick with C++ for native libraries used on those ecosystems.

It adds yet another indirection layer on what those runtimes expect, the IDEs aren't prepared for mixed language debugging with anything else, and their build systems also need some additional nurturing.
It depends if it's going meaningfully affect their ability to develop software. In a lot of modern software engineering roles it won't.
> Ubuntu used Unity, alienated a lot of people who only knew how to use Windows-like desktops, and that made Mint a huge success.

This sounds disingenious or at least overly simplified. Most people I know don't like Unity. It doesn't matter if they were used to Windows, OSX, or enlightenment. "Don't like" still means it's tolerable, they don't hate it - but most prefer to use anything else.

Three paragraphs and you dismiss it with a sentence. Since you're criticising I think you could have done better.

The asking questions approach is a great way to dig out the weeds especially when someone's thinking appears to be a mess. Especially if you think they are somehow malicious or have a less than positive intent.
And how modern SAT solving algorithms are fundamentally very similar to worst case optimal join algorithms?

There are at least two different types of them, conflict-derived clause learning and variants and stochastic search and variants.

Which one is more similar to WCO join algorithm?
Bytes/bits are themselves an abstraction. If you dont work with this representation directly, then this trivia can be added with others in the list of things you dont know.
reminded me immediately of a tweet about the recent season of Dexter (https://twitter.com/_katiestebbins_/status/14613483079013785...). When new TV shows air I can't avoid paying attention to colors now, this kind of 'Scandi-Noir' look for a lack of a better term has become super common.
What excatly is the privacy nightmare of a static frontal picture of your house? Because of the concerns of the german population Google canned StreetView in Germany, which is a shame IMHO.
That doesn't answer the question. Why not move all of it out?
UK Says Crypto, NFTs Should Get Own Laws to Aid Ownership Claims
Any mention of bitcoins typically means a full-on commitment to cryptocurrencies.

And I don't think I was wrong, because found out only later that this is funded by Tether and Bitfinex. The actual purpose of this project seems to be to pump the value of the owner's cryptocurrencies. So a hard pass from me.
Mostly because many of them weren't around when building static executables was the only thing our compilers could spit out.
Wasting time.

I've seen large companies and it's astonishing how little work and how much process they have for minuscole changes.

The only productive way of managing this is do what Google or Amazon do: split in sections and teams and get them to do something independently, with the hope that someone will struck gold. It's a bit like a venture incubator and - sometimes good things come out of it, most of the time dead products come out.

The company where I'm currently in is ~200 engs and a few companies ago with 50 engs was easily 10x more productive and had a way bigger codebase.

Management is either too useless to care / too attached to saying they have N underlings and the business makes so much money they can afford to spend x% on tech workers, just to be safe.
Oh, yeah.

While each individual bit is mostly true ("new-speak", a group that shares many religiosity traits deeming more and more parts of language bad and people joining the witch hunters out of fear of being labelled witches (I'm guilty of this)) the extra adjectives and hyperbole are harmful to discourse.

Have an upvote.
This attitude of "If you're breaking into someone's home, you're asking to die." is not worldwide universal one. It is very American one.

It does not imply necessary that America is worst country in the world overall.
> A malicious philosopher tells you that to move from point A to B, you must first pass through an infinite number of midpoints, and therefore motion is impossible.

Easily countered by stating that the distance between adjacent points within this infinite set must be zero, so the total distance is zero and you can travel any distance instantaneously.

Now the philosopher has to invent calculus to prove you wrong.
And afterwards sold Qt and stopped financially supporting Calligra (the office suite). None of that money went to KDE, it just made the small cash flow towards KDE completely stop.

The relationship was calling out fallacies like spells to attack your opponent.
We found the opposite. Setting up Druid clusters is the easiest compared to its competitors: Clickhouse and Pinot.

Especially since ingestion goes straight to S3. We don’t really worry about backups (just deal with PG backups).

Just make sure your ZK is happy and all will be well.

The hard part about Druid is tuning:

- the ingestions: Spec definition, compaction, sharding strategy, RAM consumptions, etc.

- and query performance: RAM consumptions, number of threads, timeouts, etc.
You should be careful what kind of links you post in your articles. Once I've clicked on /r/eatsandwiches I was too distracted to read the rest of the blog post.

Also if you have a Dangerous Dog signand your dog does then injure someone it's clear you knew the dog could cause damage. There was the case recently, Jacqueline Durand, who went to dog sit, opened the door and got attacked by 2 pitbulls. The owners tried to argue their dogs weren't violent despite the attack but the fact they had a sign up was one of the major points against them and was included specifically in the lawsuit.

A single home with all of its roof covered in solar panels is barely self-sufficient, even during the summer half-year. It can be, but it depends on usage.

Yeah, my big feeling is it's become a philosophical question as to where it's the same server after so many updates/upgrades.
I completely agree. But we’re talking about Yanukovich here, who was deposed by a revolution, not a war. There were many reasons why the Ukrainians were fed up with him, it was well justified.
That requires a wasm runtime to be preinstalled everywhere. The beauty of APE is that it's just a valid executable file on all supported platforms - it doesn't have any dependencies or requirements.

For ‘financial stuff’ where proximity matters (which is a small fraction of it) you would be colocated with the exchange, and there’s no need for that data centre to be in London.
Yes, that video made me... annoyied

It's like the video unit actually made things harder. Even for the technology of the time and what they wanted to do, it could be better.
Don't get me wrong, I agree. I just see a lot of people bypass the basics.

I think that this kind of thing will become too low level for most developers and it'll become speciality knowledge. I'd say that most developers I've met have been content to sit and plug one package into another, without too much care about how they work.

So, the Meteor magic was just not thinking about await?
I've never seen that line before and that might motivate me to finally keep a blog. I like collecting thoughts, but I often dislike the polishing required to turn thoughts into a complete blog post.

Sometimes one just wants to do the 80% of the effort and be done with it.
Haven’t looked at the Intel space, but doesn’t AMD have an “PRO” tier available for OEM only? Ryzen Pro, Threadripper Pro… Or Nvidia and their segmented RTX/GTX vs Quadro. These hardware companies love segmentation, let them have it, do that for PRO enterprise only, leave my personal use, no remote attestation, immutable OS needed PC alone.
The definition of “Middle East” is a rather flexible one, and can definitely include continentally European Turkey. It’s a political concept at least as much as a geographical one.
The dataset is biased in some way. There should be clear changes with the introduction of synthetic dyes.
Yep, Firefox with ad blocker here too. That seems to be the issue
I dunno, I'd say it depends on how you like to work.

GUI program not running on Linux? Find the CLI call, run in terminal, grep and analyze the logs, find the error.

GUI program not running on Windows? Eh, good luck digging through the eventlog and 90% see nothing.
Public argument isn't really for trying to convince the opponent of your position, it's for convincing the onlookers of your position. In that sense maybe you can win an argument on social media?

I tend not to participate anyway, preferring a less confrontational approach.
Emotionally, I want to say yes, they should know how many bits are in a byte, how many bytes are in a kilobyte (1000) and in a kibibyte (1024) and what big and little endianness is, and at least some part of the computing history that had led us to where we are now..

But rationally, I know that a lot of programmers don't care about computers, or even about programming and to them it's just a job.. And I guess I have no right to judge that..
Isn't london famous for its rainfall? kinda feel like solar wouldn't really work so well there.

If West London electricity grid has already hit capacity, what about the ban on sales of new internal combustion cars from 2030, in just eight years time?

It's not exactly "joined-up" thinking.
In my decade around management that was not my experience with onboarding new people.

Maybe that is because we didn’t have a fascist linter for C# the way we do with Typescript, but it’s always been much, much, harder to get people to make “good” C# code in my experience. It hasn’t been hard to have the build things in C#, but it’s been hard to get people to build things the same way so that they can work on each others code flawlessly. So hard that I would never again consider using resources on it until developers drop significantly in pay, which isn’t likely to happen until I’m retired, if ever.

I wonder if it has to do with regional differences. I’m Danish, everyone (there are odd cases, but it’s more “everyone” than “almost everyone”) here has a CS degree and often they’ve been taught Java, sometimes C# but poorly, while obtaining it.
I don’t see why that would be a stretch at all.

Railway is a different problem space than road vehicles. Trains run on fixed tracks, has long braking distance, are much heavier, and accidents can be much more devastating. While self-driving cars may use cameras, lidar and radar for detection and brake on sight, trains need to know exactly how far they are allowed to go and what speed restrictions are ahead in order to brake in time.

Traditional lineside signals and signs do give enough information to drive a train by a computer, but the rail industry has already chosen decades ago to integrate signalling and automation with the infrastructure, which is a completely different approach than today's self-driving cars. As a result, heavy rail and metro trains will not be "self-driving" in the same way as self-driving cars.

Now, if you say trams that run on streets, then possibly. Trams are often driven by sight and has stronger braking so it is possible to apply the same principles from self-driving cars. In fact, Siemens has been developing and testing one such tram. [1] Though I think the problem space is very similar to self-driving cars. There is no steering, but it still has to handle pedestrians and other road traffic.

Tell HN: Collection of the some top HN Posts
Wow, its like watching somebody getting born.

Now if we accept, that such variety of "castes" of unreasonable people exists and they do not want to "grow up", then society has to be adjusted for that, i guess. Making capability groups of neuro diverse people.

Such persons would need a representative politically, to speak in there interests. Such a person would need limitations, to limit the damage they could cause.

Reasonable people would have to be protected from this non-blue-blood class, to keep them productive and isolated. Systems need to created, to rile and cool the emotions of the non-logicals to make them steerable.

There should be a science to differentiate the various types of illogical people, based upon the data collected by the big four. And steering unreasonable people should be a science too.

We should call it something cool. Something witty. Leviathancybernetics. Get it. Hobbes, the leviathan, and the art to surgically implant synthetic structures and to turn society into a prothesis god.

Now, lets talk about the negative side effects of knowing so much about society and humans. It turns you into a grandfather clock. All you hear is gears and mechanics, grinding your teeth, while all you observe your own instincts firing from the sub concious.
