Have you seen the unmitigated dumpster fire that is mass-market Wordpress hosting? Now imagine that, but even worse.

Users who aren't tech savvy who are trying to run their own mission-critical software on their own hardware:

1. Should expect to pay $200+/month for a support plan. That will buy them one hour of an engineer's time per month. They are going to need that time, because deploying software is hard, keeping software running is hard, and there are no SRE/DevOps economies of scale when every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to run their own service on their own hardware.

2. Should expect to either deal with all the problems (stability and security) that come with regular auto-updates, or regularly getting pwned (because they aren't auto-updating, and because they are a juicy, high ROI target for bad actors).

3. All this stuff already exists for enterprises, and they aren't complaining in these HN threads, because their needs are being met by cloud providers (As are the needs of politicians. Because they generally don't need security, they need security theatre. As long as they can check the compliance checkbox, they are in the clear.) The people whose needs aren't met are the long-tail small-fry of journalists and hobbyists and their ilk. Who aren't enough of a market, and can't afford the money, and the time, because see points #1 and #2. Like, maybe the NYT can afford to have this set up, and set up well for their people, but they already have dedicated IT teams doing just that!

Nice snub. Realise why those glaciers calve off icebergs - it is related to the flow of the glacier which is in turn a function of the amount of mass accumulated. As to those icebergs 'melting in contact with warm seawater' I can add that this is what icebergs do when they come into contact with seawater - they melt. Did you think they just stayed around forever to accumulate somewhere in a giant iceberg pileup? Nope, they melt and return the water to the ocean from where it eventually evaporates for a new cycle.

So before you call someone an 'idiot' I'd suggest you read up on the subject so as to make yourself look like less of one.
>"They are already produced. There isn’t a shortage of food. There’s just a shortage of ability to buy food. So just create the money people need to buy food, and provide it to them so they can tell businesses to keep making the food they prefer to eat."

This whole article feels like it is written by someone who is elated to think they've figured out that we've been doing economics wrong this whole time, and the solution to scarcity is actually super simple!
Every conversation requires good-faith, charitable interpretation of what others are saying. I don't know how to interpret your remark, in its original context, as good faith. I said nothing that could reasonably be interpreted as requiring that native speakers "not go shopping". If you were actually interested in a meaningful exchange of ideas, you would have given a more substantive reply than that one.

I agree that if you're not going to take the discussion seriously, you probably shouldn't join it -- it just makes HN worse. Strawman argumentation doesn't suddenly become okay just because "hey man, we were just discussing grammar and its colloquial use", as if it's somehow okay to deliberately misinterpret someone and waste their time in that case.
Being one of 7 employees, I would expect a high level of transparency. That doesn't mean you should force it down their throats, but I would want access to as much info as possible given the risks of working for a company that early-stage.
People forget that before cable TV government-mandated censorship was commonplace in the USA for all kinds of media. And after that we just shifted the burden on to ratings agencies.
Ah, so posting to HN is an ad, then?

As the above points out, that "shady site" was possibly just the official Comet Cursor website. They themselves were an adware company and a weird, direct bridge from 90s "whimsy" web to modern ad tracking and adware.
Comparing the SLS program to SpaceX with their multiple vehicles in progress and constant updates to the systems, seems to prove that the people pushing for more private space industry were completely right.

It seems though that having multiple component vendors should be advantageous. Is there any company working on that premise of integrating systems from multiple vendors? Because somehow it's not working out economically with NASA.

Seems like we are still in early days, with a lot of the money wrapped up in bloated contracts for oversized military companies.
Really? This kid clearly cares about the world and wanted to apply herself to a problem. There should be a law against rewarding such initiative with publicity? She's 17. When I was that age, I was completely bored to death by what I was "learning" in high school and I had one foot out the door.

With regards to that musical kid... I've got resting bitch face. When I'm focused on a difficult task, it's way worse; I call it "thinking murder face." I'm a musician, and if I'm playing a complex piece, I couldn't smile if I tried, even though I'm loving every second of what I'm doing.
Side note: the article mentions canned laughter in TBBT rather early. TBBT actually doesn't use canned laughter but uses laughter from the live audience for its laugh track.

I pity that I didn't have the chance to visit the studios and be part of that laugh track :(
There are many jobs that you could be working at. Why are you doing your job and not some other job? It is because this company created the prerequisite environment for you to be able to do this job - an agreement to pay you for the work. If you don't like doing the work, then you are doing it because you don't have the required resources to be able to stop working.
A perfect fifth is just 150% (3/2) the frequency of the root, just as an octave is 200% (2/1). "What sounds good" is in a certain sense based on the harmonic series, and in that sense it is equivalent to what makes sense mathematically.

A problem is that if you stack perfect fifths to get 12 notes then they won't sound in tune with each other across different keys. It's this issue which forms the crux of the linked post.
You choose people based on their loyalty to the party and fanatical devotion. It's a pretty straightforward way of doing it, heck somewhere else in this thread someone was already getting offended at the joke about the chicken.

Some people just have no sense of humour and a fanatical devotion to a cause, they are useful if not very wise. This is one of those situations where they are useful.
The thing is you’ve also been quite aggressive toward other people on twitter. Making yourself out to be a victim is definitely en vogue.

> Reasoning in that way, almost all movies in the world wold be a "soft projection" and Nation State attack

I mean, I don't think it requires any sort of active attack, or paranoia about a malicious attack, to recognize that soft power is real and it can influence people's behavior even when nobody intended it. The Big Bang Theory, as a reflection of American culture, can work to perpetuate that culture and serve America's interests even without anybody in America or anybody working on the Big Bang Theory intending for that to happen.

Now, in the case of the Big Bang Theory, whether that is good or bad is somewhat up to whether you think American-culture-as-espoused-by-the-Big-Bang-Theory is good or not, but honestly as an American who generally thinks American culture is good about some stuff but not everything, the Big Bang Theory is pretty far down on the list of cultural exports I would consider good or important. There's a lot of stuff in the Big Bang Theory that I feel ashamed to be associated with, including some of the stuff mentioned in this article as cut, like the racist jokes about Chinese people.
Wow, very useful. Thanks for sharing this.
How do you train new models if your GPUs are being used for inference? I guess the training happens significantly less frequently?

Forgive my ignorance.
What? No, the article is interesting.

Seriously how do people see comments like yours and think HN is any kind of special?
> There's a borderline obsession with youthfulness, at times, in engineering that is disturbing. Usually the form these conversations take is, "this candidate has too much experience for Senior".

I don't think this type of remark shows age bias. I think it relates to what you remark on later on in your post: pay and benefits. Basically, "this candidate has too much experience for Senior" is a euphemism for "this candidate's past experience indicates that they will want more pay and benefits than we are willing to give them".
What do we mean by "good" in this sentence? I've worked with plenty of programmers whose output a lot of code quickly, but the code is difficult to understand and maintain. Others whose output takes more time, but the solutions are elegant, well structured, and maintainable. Coding is a craft and assessing whether or not a programmer is good has as much to do with the audience as with any metric of quality.

I draw parallels to the world of literature, sure James Patterson sells a lot of books, but is he a "good" writer? I would say no, but the millions of copies he has sold make a counter claim that cannot be simply dismissed.
The point of the nber study is that there's a ton of varying answers out there. If it's biased towards anything it's "good science."
> [...] blocking of only a few IPs is disproportionately effective at stopping brute force SSH attacks here. Also, since we already block Internet logins to 'root', we're in almost no danger. No matter how many times they try, they have literally no chance of success.

This assumes OpenSSH, OpenSSL and other things in between the client and the server don't have ready to exploit security vulnerabilities. These large-scale scanners are a long term investment when there's a zero-day vulnerability to exploit in OpenSSL etc. That's why a layered/defense-in-depth approach is preferable.
My nugdet of experience to add a data point to this claim. I have TMJ and have had it for as long as I can remember (my jaw clicks every time I open or close my mouth). I developed constant tinnitus in one ear (on the side where the clicks happen) in my early 30s, a few years ago. I was SURE the TMJ was causing my tinnitus, but the doctors dismissed it as non-related. Maybe I should have pushed harder. (I also have voluntary control over the tensor tympani muscle, for what it's worth.)
Do you ever shower or bathe? Do you touch the faucet handle when doing so? Congrats - you just grounded yourself. Reset right back to neutral.

If you want to test this go shuffle across carpet in your socks for a hot minute and then touch the faucet.
Ask HN: Any decent Linux-compatible tablet/detachable laptop in 2022?
My surface pro 6's battery is dying, and it's way out of warranty, so the cost of replacing that battery is just no longer worth it.

Is there tablet or detachable laptop that:

- supports touch and pen on Linux

- can be used as a regular Linux computer

- with a screen that's at least 12 inches

- preferably under or around $1200?

Most 2-in-1s seem to be with a 360 hinge, which doesn't really fit my use case (too thick, too heavy, and not flat to put onto a music stand).

Thanks!
Seems close enough to an ECG that you might end up with a fairly noisy signal.

Not at all. The changes were sudden and extreme. Look at the original Luddite rebellion for its oldest incarnation, but just look at the mechanizing of factories in the 60s with the introduction of CNCs or protests against automation at ports.

Automation of labor has been an ongoing force for decades and a reality laborers have had to live with for years.

I love these - a fantastic piece of retro coding!

My only criticism would be that the code uses `element.appendChild(canvas);` - if the element already contains child elements then the generated canvas is going to go over them, blocking any user interaction associated with them - for example, links. I think `element.prepend(canvas)` would give a better UX?
With a current clamp? Hundreds of mA. Here’s one for $600 (just the clamp) that can do 5mA.

You wouldn’t use a clamp for something like this. You would use a sense resistor.
Look closer! There are quite a few accounts representing further-left positions on HN. Look up claudiawerner or deanCommie or one or two of the accounts posting in this thread (edit: oops, I meant https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32637686 - got my controversies mixed up). That's no problem as long as they stay within the site guidelines. Indeed, it's good for intellectual diversity. We do our best to protect accounts like that when we see majority prejudices acting unfairly (as well as other minority viewpoints, including strongly disagreeing ones).

Of course those politics are less represented on HN than others, but they're less represented in society too. I'd guess they're rather more represented on HN than they are in the population at large, given HN's semi-intellectual orientation. (Only 50% HN users are in the US, btw, last I checked.)

As for detaching this subthread- if we aren't going to mark a big-ass ideological meta subthread off topic, I'm not sure what we would. That's one of the most boring, generic, and pointless offtopic tangents there is.

(Btw, nearly everyone who makes large claims on that note is completely wrong, because people's perceptions about this are determined by their own pre-existing positions. That's why the question of which way HN is like-totally-biased is decided so differently by every camp. If you want examples, there are dozens at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870.)
Can you please point to the HN comment you claim the author took this from? All I can find is comments on previous discussion of the same project, and you can't really claim that Bert blogging about his own project is blogspam just because someone had beforehand submitted Berts project to HN already.
Ask HN: Is there a good unified end-to-end stack?
This may be a dumb question. I'm a full stack C#/DevOps guy with a bit of a dated skillset, but I want to get into some hobby projects... but the more I look into it, the more I remember all the various layers of glue that we have to roll ourselves on every platform.

Surely there must be something off-the-shelf that will get me a nice mobile/web GUI and an online persistance layer, right?

I mean, I know how to put things all together using .NET Core and EF and SQL Server or Postgres and Xamarin Forms for mobile and Razor templates for web and oData for restful stuff and a pile of powershell scripts for deployment and EF for migrations.

I know all that stuff. And I can do it again. But even the simplest "hello world" application in that architecture represents a crapload of work.

But I also know that these are solved problems and that I'm not opinionated. I'm more than willing to try a new platform, I don't care how exactly a GUI looks as long as it has the widgets I need, I'd rather it look native than perfectly match a .psd mockup. Sql, NOSQL, ORM, whatever.

Surely this exists, right? An end-to-end stack where I don't have to worry about every layer of leaky abstraction, about passing every message from Javascript to REST to server objects to SQL and back again? If I'm willing to put up with restrictive abstractions?

Because I want to get back into coding for myself, and I want to make full server client programs, but the idea of figuring out what's the "right" way to set up Auth these days just exhausts me when there are thoroughly well-known Best Practices and I would very much like to not have to think about them.

Bullshit.

Sorry, this "we're the same" retort is exhausting. The United States government does not employ censors to remove portions of shows before allowing them to air (or stream, whatever). The closest thing I can think of is DoD not giving access to a movie unless it paints Navy pilots in a certain light. Okay, fine. Not nearly the same as what this site is showing us.

Yes, we have cultural taboos, like any culture. Studios have more trouble presenting some viewpoints over others. Chappelle gets protested, that one episode of Community was memory-holed on Hulu (but not on Amazon!). We ban pornography on public airwaves (but not on streaming or cable or satellite, or Blueray).

If you compare and contrast the pervasiveness of censorship between China and the United States, the difference is huge.

When it comes to artistic freedom, the US is way better than China. Maybe you can say we can improve even more, sure. But that's a long way off from our censorship being "honestly no better".
According to this random PDF from one of the Universities there, the typical household has decreased water usage down to 222 gallons a day. Which is quite low compared to the average in the US, no question.

[https://digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...]

The current Las Vegas metro population (not counting visitors) is 2.2 million people.

So that’s roughly half a billion gallons of water a day, or 178 billion gallons of water a year. Just for residential, not counting businesses, which typically are much larger water users.

Las Vegas typically gets a bit under 5 inches of precipitation a year.

5 inches of water on an acre of land is equal to 135770 gallons (an ‘acre inch’ x 5).

So to support the current residences in Las Vegas off precipitation alone, they would need to capture 100% of all rain over an area of approximately 1.2 million acres, or 1875 square miles.

Again, that isn’t counting commercial use at all.

Damming up the river which is the final terminus of a watershed estimated at 246,000 square miles (aka the Colorado) makes this a drop in the bucket.

Constructing something equivalent independently?

Not so easy.

And Las Vegas doesn’t have geology amenable to making due with some local damming. Red Rocks is quite pretty and would make a dent, but isn’t big enough.
I am sure you have sources to back up this claim.
Ask HN: Is forcing users to use a photo of themselves (Slack, etc.) ethical?
I work in a group of ~250 people nested within a much larger org. I have worked here for three years. We use Slack and have a company directory, both allow photo uploads.

Some people choose "things" or "characters" to as their profiles Slack - I've seen "Silicon Valley" characters, I've seen Star Wars characters, I've seen non-characters (pictures of flowers, mountains, etc.) Some people never upload anything at all.

After working here for three years and interacting with an individual occasionally, I just was able to put a real face to a slack account represented by Erlich Bachman. It got me thinking - how are other groups handling this?

I understand not everyone wants/likes to choose a photo that represents them.
I also know that it's really hard to have a work conversation with Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.
I don't think they're all that democratic. But there's a world of difference between democratic, which itself has degrees, and being totalitarian.
To me the best argument for UBI is that it would obliterate a bunch of economic disincentives that are dragging down on societal progress.

To be clear I’m working from two assumptions:
1) I have no issue with people being completely dependent on government support.
2) I have no issue nor do I partake in our glorification of work for work’s sake.

Having said that, the most important economic aberration UBI would do away with is the need for government and most public policy in general being run as de-facto job programs for the otherwise unemployable. If UBI were a reality there would be no rationale for bloated agencies, over-staffed infrastructure projects, tax schemes for factories, you name it. In that world, we could potentially turbocharge governance, as well as governmental and policy efficiency and efficacy.

A secondary, yet also important benefit of UBI is that it would unleash a ton of capable people who are otherwise bound to jobs or arrangements far below their capacity, for the simple fact that the fear of starvation or homelessness is too great. Think of all the human potential we could release if capable people felt safe enough to get an education or start a business.

Ultimately a bunch of people would just rely on UBI from birth to death. I don’t think that is a bad outcome. We live in a society advanced enough to be horrified by just letting people die/starve. However we struggle with the idea of some people just doing nothing when in fact the best possible outcome is for them to do just that. Some people are just not capable enough to do stuff at the level required in an advanced society, and saddling some institutions with employing them for charity does more harm than good.
No you can’t easily amplify the signal from a current clamp. That’s why they’re never used for sensitive measurements.

You wouldn’t clamp something on, you would use a sense resistor.
Actually, I wonder if that would be a "good" way of making a comedy that can be shown everywhere. Just film like 40 minutes per episode for a 30 minute slot, but only include throwaway jokes to they can be removed as needed.
