The original article was not based on incomes in any age ranges either. If they had wanted to do a more rigorous analysis, they would have compared say, 18-34 year olds in 1970 and today.

Anyway, the point is the first half of the article is fundamentally mistaken, There are ways to do more interesting analyses, but this one was mostly incoherent.
Companies pay recruiters an insane fee to hire us. $300 is a paltry sum and not worth fighting over. I doubt this is a big problem. It's not zero companies doing this, but I'd be surprised if it was 80% of the listings trying to avoid paying.
> TinyLFU does not handle dynamic changes to demand to the cache like 2Q does

That was resolved in a follow up paper [1], though Ristretto does not implement this. It is implemented by Caffeine, mentioned briefly in this article, which is popular in the Java ecosystem.

Yes it is, because statistically they do not.
100x this. I told a white SJW colleague that I never felt discriminated by whites, I am a PoC. I was told "You are naive"

People take a really small sample set and paint the whole world with a very wide brush
Lol, I once saw a group (troop? pack? murder?) of police standing on their Segways in formation, in uniform and lightly padded body armor. It was hard to look tough while they were all in neat little rows, balancing on antique motor scooters.

All I could think was "whrrr whrr pew pew whrrrr whrrrrr"... like this photo: https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/segway_1.jpg

It was impossible to take them seriously. Honestly, lol, I feel for them. Some higher up probably thought that was cheaper than horses and fancier than bikes, so... poor officers.
When they first came out I wanted one to commute to work with it.

Then I saw the price. And that was the end of that.

$7,000 to $10,000 for one - you can buy a car, and pay for years worth of gas for that much.
Steve Gibson would say[0] it's better than "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because it's a character longer

This article[1] disagrees because of the difference in bounding entropy high or low

NIST[2] says the following (by way of [3]):

> 4 bits - first character

> 2 bits - each of next 7 characters

> 5 bits - characters 9-20

> 1 bit - each character over 20

In short ... go for long passphrases whenever possible over passwords (and, of course, hope your target hashes them well!)

What’s port 433? You mean 443?
If your point was strong, people would have listened. But it wasn't, so you had to make a meta point which came off as condescending.

Instead of reading that sentence above and having the gut reaction of not feeling understood, try and be open to the possibility that you didn't make a very strong argument or perhaps didn't communicate it very well.
>> But as it stands today, someone who will tell their boss "yes, I'll get that done", especially after hours or beyond standard expectations will get promoted more often than not. It's just the way it is.

That is…unfortunately, exactly the opposite of what happens more often than not.

More often than not - promotions are accrued through social credit and personal preference.

You will quite often see the hardest working people get passed by for a promotion for the manager’s friend, etc.

Your ‘objective observation’ is…not accurate.

If this was the way it was - we wouldn’t need laws related to racism, sexism, etc in hiring practices.

I don’t know what kind of idealistic fantasy America you’re imagining up, but in the real one that exists on Earth these are serious problems.
This doesn't seem accurate.

Body-weight squats, lunges, and Bulgarian squats are part of any normal body-weight routine. On the other hand, "skipping leg day" is not a meme that targets calisthenics but all guys who work out in general because the legs aren't as visible/vain as arms.
> How is that fair for those students who missed out?

That's exactly the question: When people miss out due to intentional discrimination, it's not fair.

Should anything be done about that? Of course!

I fail to see how this is controversial, except that people don't want resources to go to those who were discriminated against.
That depends on the microvm. Device support in Firecracker, like GPUs, doesn't exist, which also makes Firecracker suitable for multitenant workloads. Something like QEMU has far more device support but is also significantly easier to escape out of.
Or possibly e-bikes, which also seem to be popular and I think appeal more to older people?
Thanks! This is (also) what I meant by development -- ensuring there's an ecosystem of connectors, libraries etc. around it to facilitate adoption/usage.
Your problem is that you can't set ENV variables at the global level? Have you looked at YAML anchors? Makes things more DRY for longer/complex compose files.
Yes, there any many serverless people looking for Node support. Could you please thumbs-up its feature request here: https://github.com/thundra-io/merloc/issues/1
Same here, even with my C rants, that is exactly my desktop environment on the surviving netbook that still runs Linux.

Kudos to XFCE devs.
There is a Concorde on display at the Museum of Flight near Seattle. You can walk down the aisle but the seats themselves are protected by plexiglass.

The seats do look very cramped and the windows are very small.

The museum of flight is amazing and much more interactive than most air museums.

RSS is holding strong. I run a network of news aggregators (https://TechURLs.com, https://DevURLs.com, and many others) and only two or three news sources out of a hundred have removed their RSS feeds over the last two years.
Right? I don't know why they couldn't have just (or also) put an electric drivetrain in a regular Mustang. My two theories are (a) somebody at Ford really hates cars that aren't SUV/crossovers[0], or (b) the Mach E is an attempt to appeal to the aging demographic of people who wanted Mustangs as kids in the 60s/70s. Ford's marketing definitely seems to promote the Mach E for older people.[1]

That's a beautiful website. Thanks for the suggestion.
It dated to mobile calls being expensive especially outside of a very bounded home area and being either a business expense or a relatively luxury thing. In that context, it didn't really make sense to hit a landline with a big charge for calling a mobile number--perhaps unwittingly. And that general thinking carried over to SMS.
> People often self-sort into cultural bubbles they feel most comfortable in.

If I sort myself into an all-white cultural bubble, and then later hire all the people from my network into the groups I run, etc-- I end up making de-facto racist hiring decisions. So even the situation you describe does eventually trend towards racism.

And, in any case, I think back to one of my early experiences in industry. We had groups that were 95% one ethnicity. I am pretty sure based on organizational culture that I would not have been successful in one of the non-white ones, and I'm not sure that people from those groups would have been successful transplanted into in the majority white groups. I think in practice the organization was really bad from a DEI standpoint, but on paper probably looked really, really good.
Aviation makes up a rather small portion of transportation emissions. I don’t think there is much point in focusing on clean air travel when cars and trucks produce such a massive amount of carbon emissions in comparison.

I’m pretty sure there’s a few dozen to hundreds of rss libraries for any language you could want.

Wordpress provides RSS feeds out of the box without doing a thing. Static generators like Jekyll (GitHub uses) support generating RSS feeds as well.

It’s not an issue of this being difficult to implement. It’s been around for decades. It’s widely supported.
Working relationships are complex and require a lot of trust. You can't just wave a magic wand over two people and say "discrimination be gone". The bigot can and will always find ways to harm the victim without accountability.

Ok buzzkillington.

I test drove both the 6 spd auto and the 6 spd manual. The manual was alright but the auto was way more livable in stop-and-go city traffic, especially for someone like myself with a messed up ankle. Better fuel economy, quieter on the highway, same acceleration, and if I want to mix things up on a curvy mountain road, I can pick gears with the flick of a paddle shifter.

Go for the stick if you want, but don't hate on people who choose different.
> Depending on how I/O is handled, container I/O can be very slow, whereas a dedicated disk snapshot without CoW/overlays would be much faster.

Do you mean VM I/O can be very slow? I don't think containers should have any overhead, please correct me if I'm wrong though.
There's a lot of talk of Rx libs, but from https://reactivex.io/intro.html I see:

"It is sometimes called “functional reactive programming” but this is a misnomer. ReactiveX may be functional, and it may be reactive, but “functional reactive programming” is a different animal. One main point of difference is that functional reactive programming operates on values that change continuously over time, while ReactiveX operates on discrete values that are emitted over time."

At the same time, I see lots of references to FRP on https://reactivex.io/tutorials.html so I am not sure what the actual position of the project is, or the actual status of the technologies (maybe things have changed?).
It just means exporters won't waste their time applying for a license if they aren't pretty sure that their applications will be approved. It shows good communication channels between exporters and the BIS. It does not tell us how strict or loose the export control actually is.
I can't thank you enough for the Julie fractal link. It was super enlightening to someone who has enjoyed fractals and seen the formula but has never grasped the mechanics.
> I saw someone recently complaining that Facebook was recommending to them…a very crass but probably pretty hilarious video. Their indignant response [was that] “the ranking must be broken.” Here is the thing: the ranking probably isn’t broken. He probably would love that video, but the fact that in order to engage with it he would have to go proactively click makes him feel bad. He doesn’t want to see himself as the type of person that clicks on things like that, even if he would enjoy it.

I found this comment super-insightful. I generally hate online videos with a passion. I DO NOT click "recommended posts" or ads or videos or what I consider garbage. But that doesn't mean I don't sometimes get interested in a thumbnail I see until I realize what "they're" trying to get me to click on.
I agree, it is sad and HN has a tradition of not condoning this kind of comment, :shrug:. I tried to call it out, too.
So afterburner then. 'Merica.
You're right but I'm sure both companies had good reasons for their schedules (for instance noise restrictions at night).

And realistically, from your plane at JFK to Manhattan, that's got to be a least an hour and a half (immigration and cab/limo). And assuming you'd have to be at JFK just an hour before your flight (and for an international flight that's ballsy), plus with transportation still taking an hour, you just wasted 3.5 hours commuting forth and back to the airport.

That schedule wouldn't work unless you flew to Manhattan. And even then, it'd be tight.

I agree it’s overalocated, but the region is still in drought: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

What’s important to understand is water resources are averaged over a multi year period and a few months of normal rain isn’t enough to make things ok.

That said, much of the midwest’s water issues come from assumptions before wells dropped water levels in the region. A stream can gain or lose water based on the local water table so simply getting X rainfall per year doesn't guarantee a dam will continue receiving the same amount of water year after year. Worse models aren’t based on unlimited data, random events can mean you’re basing things in unusually good times, even ignoring climate change.
Why should only things you can't change be protected?

There's a few hundred topnotch startups with high-caliber ex-FANG talent out there. Why is it that only one of them is getting to the top of HN for literally every single thing they put out, even when it is of relatively niche interest?
It's kind of wild that it took so long, but this is great news and I hope others follow suit.
It was great, about 20 years ago.
I've had a bash script in my PATH that uses ffmpeg exactly to do this for the longest time. This is great!
Its strongest hold is definitely in Podcasting. Right now, thats basically all a podcast feed is, its an RSS feed. This is largely due to the hands off nature that Apple had with podcasting for so long, though Spotify[0] is trying to wrestle this control over the ecosystem in moving away from publishing an open RSS feed.

Its very much alive in this way though, at least for now, and I think its important to recognize the role of RSS in keeping podcast distribution fairly uniform and relatively meritocratic. I think this why it has exploded as a medium, in part. Its also why you get such a fantastic selection of great third party players.

Unfortunately, I think RSS for news is already past its prime, though alot of "indie" sites and blogs still do have feeds it seems.

I don’t think it would be wise for apt to repackage or recreate Nuget functionality. The initial install of dotnet should be done by apt, the packages should be handled by Nuget.
I agree about that. I think a nice balance would be localized meetups to watch the conference or an after hours event where you can discuss the content of the talks over a pint or hitting a few golf balls or something.
> ever-increasing demand being placed on the system from development

Glad to see recognition that people and industry could help by reducing water usage. Huge consumers such as Denver Water talk about conservation yet new residential and commercial developments still seem to be built as if water is unlimited.
As another Arch Linux user, I can attest that it is the rock-solid foundation for your computer.

I use double boot to host both Linux and Windows; when I need to use Windows, I just put Linux into hibernation. This greatly extends the amount of time it can go without being rebooted.

Driver and X problems still cropped up occasionally, but things seem much more reliable now than they did a while back.

This is a also the distro I'm familiar with from my time working on servers, where I've used it with ZFS with great success.
What do you believe is missing?

RSS is xml. It supports xml namespaces for extensions.

Did you know that podcast feeds are RSS feeds plus a xml namespace specific for podcasts?

>The payoff, though, will not be “power” for these small creators: the implication of entertainment being dictated by recommendations and AI instead of reputation and ranking is that all of the power accrues to the platform doing the recommending.

This is what these companies want. Take the power away from a few ultra powerful users (Kardashians for example), and retain that power for themselves.
If there's no signup and it's free, you have to very wary on what the "trick" is, because nothing is truly free. Most of the potentially useful ones looks like trial with locked features.
”Recently, talking about the incident to the New Yorker, Tanuja said, "A number of e-mails got sent to my VP, to the head of HR, to our chief diversity officer, to our CEO directly, claiming that the talk was creating a hostile workplace, that people felt unsafe, that the speaker was not qualified to speak on the topic and several other allegations." She also claimed that in tech companies, including Google, discrimination based on caste was rife and that tech company needed to talk about it.”

Congratulations America. Now the ”felt unsafe”, ”hostile environment” etc. woke newspeak is used to protect the asses of the people who want to discriminate while victims get smoked out by these useless clowns that are called ”diversity officers”.
The same philosophical chain of reasoning would lead to government provided boyfriends and girlfriends, so I'm not sure about this line of argument.
I wonder if the tools are also vetted for security. IIRC there was some supply chain attack that had to do with similar no-signup tools injecting SEO scam code (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27427330)

I expect the parent means having some portions of the output change without user input, which isn't either of those if we're being picky.
I fly first class a fair bit, and I struggle to get anything done on the plane (in the terminal is fine, though).

For me, there's no way to take a good break on a plane. I can't really get up and stretch my legs (unless you try to pace the aisle), and any kind of distraction is going to be on a screen.

It is more comfortable than coach, but it's still not really comfortable. Coach is actively uncomfortable, first class is just kind of neutral; not actively comfortable or uncomfortable.

I usually get more done sitting in the terminal than I do on the plane itself.

Hard to say that it’s coming back I think.

My my.yahoo.com (yes, I know, Yahoo! Is hardly a worthwhile data point these days) was carefully constructed of a dozen or more RSS feeds, and 80-90% are now dead. I tried resurrecting a few on the assumption that the sources just changed their URI, but all (maybe 3?) that I tried had no RSS feed any more, or none that I could find.

I think two were now paywalled sites, which is probably the broader trend - RSS is just a different form of ad-blocking from the content-provider’s perspective.
I’m still a huge fan of jQuery. When I start a new web project then the first thing I do is add jQuery to the project. This is pretty much the only dependency that I ever use in my web projects. Nothing can beat the short “$” function and effects such as fadeIn, fadeOut, and others.
Technically the restrictions already exist, just as a part of the development experience.

- .NET Hot Reload is only implemented on Windows. It requires support in the .NET runtime, which is technically possible to implement, but the team has not gotten around to implementing it for years. This doesn't have to do with the issue around MS removing the "dotnet watch" command, it's for the "Edit and Continue" feature in IDEs.[1][2]

- MS was considering deprecating Omnisharp, the open-source language server that implements C# support for VS Code, and replacing it with a closed-source version. Since the announcement, commits to omnisharp-vscode have dropped off significantly. The lack of Omnisharp would mean there would be no real open-source C# development environment for Linux anymore, since MonoDevelop was abandoned a few years ago.[3]

It varies, but there are semi-safe flow batterie chemistries, mostly for grid scale storage.

The real downside of flow batteries for cars is the power density of current tech isn't as high as li-ion.
If it's going over port 443, how would your ISP know you're hosting movies?

Yeah, people will put up with a lot of "looking silly" for something that solves a real problem. Umbrellas arguably look silly, but it's well worth it to not be drenched. I used to be told I looked dorky for wearing a bicycle helmet, but the world (or at least my region) seems to have come around to the idea that avoiding brain damage is a pretty high upside.

Spending a substantial amount of money and going to the effort of storing a large object just to be able to get someplace faster (but still not as fast as driving), just isn't worth it to most people.
It’s about as hard as someone from Alabama trying to pass as someone that grew up in New York. It’s not super hard but people will probably eventually find out.
Have you ever lived in one of those cities with e-scooters? In just a few months, they were EVERYWHERE in a way that the Segways never were... buses, bike racks, sidewalks, canals, middle of the road...

Lots of people who never biked used those scooters instead, because 1) they were heavily subsidized by careless VC money and 2) less sweat than biking. Bike commuting always seemed to me like a niche white thing, like urban hiking on wheels, but those scooters, man... EVERYWHERE.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. My problem is that YAML is not a turing complete language (and dev environments are usually messy by their nature).
"There is a broad assumption in society and in education that the skills you need to be a leader are more or less transferable."

The idea of a generalist leader comes from the French military in the early 17th century. Specifically, the concept of a "General" meant that you have enough broad experience that you could reason about the whole of a service component and be fungible with other "General" officers.

You can think of this in contrast to the "Specialist", which is an entry level job, meant to focus on one very narrow non-fungible technical task, with no ability to transfer to do other things

When this system arose, there weren't that many different things you could do in an Army so it was possible to actually be pretty useful irrespective of where you were and the biggest determinants were most likely IQ or something similar.

My experience with General Officers today however indicates to me that this is no longer possible --- more likely it was probably was never really true and there are a lot of examples in history where this was true.

I doubt you could put the CEO of John Deere in charge of Merck and expect that things would continue to run as effectively, or as efficiently.

It's pretty silly to me as someone who has been in management/leadership roles since 2008 that people think leadership is fungible and technical skills don't matter. Trust your gut and it will be obvious that this isn't true.
