That simply isn't true. I'm a nobody and plenty of folk have found me from seemingly inane posts. People have found me out of the blue, from across the Fediverse, and I have no idea why; all I do know is we now chat frequently and without either of us even looking for one another. What's impossible is to discover how to use a platform without reading the documentation, and assuming that algorithms will just do the work for us.
That's true, I think the point is that such laws need to start getting created because the compute and personal device issue is legitimately different.

Why is Vue off the table?

Where I work uses Vue rather than React, and we're _very_ happy with that choice. There's many reasons why (specifically the Composition API is similar to React Hooks, but in my opinion _much_ better thought out, and so is the fact that the state-management story is much more opinionated/first-party), but rather than start a framework war, I will say that every FE engineer we've hired who preciously worked at a React shop (which is all of them) has gotten the hang of Vue within a week and finds Vue a refreshing breath of fresh air. Me included.

I think React without a doubt has the largest ecosystem. And I also think Vue is more than a valid choice, and definitely not a problem in the hiring sphere.

You say you have not dated, so your skepticism is perhaps warranted due to lack of real life experience.

There is survey data that can prove, or at least strongly point to pretty much any conclusion you want.

And yet, bald people are out there dating. As are overweight people and everyone else that doesn't sit squarely inside society's beauty standards. Have they done anything differently?
a couple people have mentioned it in passing, but i figured this warranted a top-level comment

anyone considering setting up an instance and not wanting to worry about having to ssh in during the night and deal with maintence stuff just to talk with friends should 100% consider signing up with masto.host.

I've had an instance there for months now.

While there's some manual setup on his end (the guy who runs masto.host) from the perspective of someone wanting a new instance it's _very_ easy, and he does a great job of keeping everything up to date.

I'm extremely happy to throw money his way each month and _not_ have to worry about maintaining my instance beyond occasionally granting access to new users and proactively blocking remote instances. As a small, invite only, server I don't have to worry about a lot of BS from obnoxious humans.

Note: if you use masto.host you don't get ssh access to your server so there are some settings you can't tweak. I'm ok with that in exchange for never having to worry about maintenance.
There is less of a conflict than many would have you believe. In many situations, both approaches yield the same answer. There are some edge cases. For example, in A/B testing, is early peeking bad? From a frequentist perspective the answer is "yes, either use a sequential method, or don't early peek at all". From a Bayesian perspective the answer is "early peeking is fine".

It boils down to what properties you want your analysis to have. Cox and Hinkley's "Theoretical Statistics" has a great discussion (section 2.4). Basically, you might want your analysis to have a certain kind of internal consistency. But you might also want your analysis to be replicable either by yourself or by another researcher. Those both seem like pretty important things! But there are edge cases (like the early peeking example) where you can't have it both ways. So you have to pick which one you want, and use the corresponding methods.
A similar thing happened to me where a contractor bait and switched me. Put down a 50% deposit and he said it was non refundable. I wrote it off thinking I’d never get it back. I got extremely lucky though in that a detective in a nearby city emailed me and said this contractor had ripped off a lot of people and he was investigating. A few weeks later, they refunded my deposit.

It seems like once the police got involved, they were willing to play ball. Somehow, you’ve got to find the contractor and get the police on your side. You’ve got his business addresses and even insurances, maybe the insurance company is your way in?

Good luck.

So what is the real solution here?

I have a 2TB SSD in a caddy that I use for most of my stuff, then I have 2 disk RAID 1 array that is only used as periodic backup (only connected to power once a month) as well as having 2TB of cloud storage. I know I’m “good”, but it seems like there has to be a better way.
1) I have more of a sysadmin background, so someone else will have to answer this. I will say that if you interviewed in the sre-swe track, transferring to a swe role is not difficult.

2) I have been on call for most of my career, but google is the only employer that has actually provided compensation. Depending on your lifestyle, the extra pto can be really nice (for example it’s easy for me to ski on less-crowded days), but as I’ve gotten older being on call has definitely gotten more painful (now that I have a serious partner, not being able to do things on the days she has off can be frustrating.) The actual difficulty/stress of the pages you get will be highly team-dependent, but SRE does a reasonable job of training and tracking pager load.

3) This is highly team-dependent, but there are many teams where systems skills are not a big deal. You need to be able to think in a reliability-focused way, though.

4) Some teams actually develop their own code, other teams rely on swe teams for most of the code. You will read a lot more code than you will write, and you will write less code than they say you will during the interview process. This is also true for SWEs - everyone spend more time big-company-ing than computer-ing.

5) I have not done this, but I have considered moving to a SWE role because there’s more open source opportunities on that side.

6) I’ve found google to be the best place to work of the mega corporations I’ve been, but honestly if the money was the same I’d prefer a smaller company. I’m better at tasks like “chase this bug though a bunch of layers until you find some weird kernel behavior” than “explain why your rollout plan is compliant with our reliability directives.”
> Not really "prop drilling" like its docs say.

Context is a way to avoid prop drilling.

> The static parts need parsing, right?

You either provide a custom DSL and embrace it or you claim to be "native standards" and bash JSX.

As far as I understand it's no longer just static parts either. Can't properly test this on mobile, but it looks like function calls like classMap or styleMap are only allowed in certain locations of the code, so it's already JSX-level (or more) manipulation.
No way. I vehemently disagree.

When a company reached a certain mass, hardware cost is a factor that is considered but not a big factor.

The bigger problems are lost opportunity costs and unnecessary churns.

Businesses lose a lot when the product launch is delayed by a year simply because the hardware arrived late or have too many defects (Ask your hardware fulfillment people how many defective RAM and SSD they got per new shipment).

Churn can cost the business a lot as well. For example, imagine the model that everyone been using is trained in a Mac Pro under XYZ desk. And then when XYZ quit, s/he never properly backup the code and the model.

Bare metal allows for sloppiness that the cloud cannot afford to allow. Accountability and ownership is a lot more apparent in the cloud.
Grandmother mentioned her aunt had a parrot. One time she and her aunt are hanging out. There was a lineman up on the pole in front of the house and the bird was curiously watching him. After a bit a young lady walks by and the bird chuckles and gives out a loud wolf whistle. And the lady then begins to cuss out the lineman up on the pole. The bird giggled and then giggled off and on for the rest of the afternoon.

What you don't get the field is everyone. It's not a series of one-on-one competitions, it's a race with everyone in it.

You are trying to redefine "the field" to make it mean something not quite the same.

I'm not disagreeing that FPTP is bad. It forces us into these consolidated party situations. But the field is EVERYONE. At the same time. And you ask the voters, "Which one you like the most?" And that answer, in this case was Peltola. So Peltola beats the field. With a plurality, yes, but no one has a better plurality.

I'm not defending FPTP or treating it like a gold standard. But at the very least, the person who came in last in the general should not win the election. He's people's most second choice because for both groups where he is the second the second choice, it's only because they absolutely do not want the last person.

It's less, "He's a moderate I can live with" and more "At least he's not X". Where X is either a Democrat or Palin.

Republicans wanted a have your cake and eat it too moment. They were the ones who went with this process every step of the way until the second it gave them a result they didn't like. They kinda know that crazy wins primaries. But crazy also loses the general. So they tried to bank on getting Democrats to do the work for them. But the plan failed, because there were enough people that just like Peltola on her own.

RCV/IRV is fine. It's not perfect, but it's far better than FPTP and the results are rarely counter-intuitive.

STAR requires you to give a 0 to 5 to every candidate. The end result of the scores look a lot like RCV but with ties. Not to mention, every 0-n scale system devolves into essentially Y/N as people quickly glom onto the notion that they're the values that matter the most.

You can call STAR "two step" if you ignore the actual voting portion. That's the part that makes people work harder just to essentially rank their preferences.
I think it's strange HN sees cyber crime in the opposite way as real crime.

It's not my fault if my house gets broken in. I have no obligation to meticulously lock all my doors and windows when I leave.

But if I get hacked, it's my fault. The onus is on the individual / company to maintain law and order themselves when online.

That feels wrong to me.

I admit that extremely detailed histories and biographies are mostly not my thing either, but there's definitely a class of books including self-help but also a lot of business books that are built around a few (or even just one) core idea. Even if fleshing out the idea beyond an article or a blog post adds color, it often really doesn't need the 250-300 pages that the publishing industry essentially requires.

> "No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."

The bigger experiments will routinely burn through tens of millions worth of computing. But 10 million euros isn't much for these experiments. The issue is that they are publicly funded: any country is much happier to build a local computing center and lend it to scientists than to fork the money over to an American cloud provider.

(The expensive part of these experiments is simulating billions of collisions and how the thousands of outgoing particles propagate though a detector the size of a small building. Simulating a single event takes around a minute on a modern CPU, and the experiments will simulate billions of events in a few months. If AWS is charging 5 cents a minute it works out to tens of millions easy.)
Very good points.

Still, technically, Google+ was far ahead of their competition.
“Unhoused people”?
yeah that's rather correct when it comes to the English language Wikipedia

but the Polish language Wikipedia has been hijacked by the right wing nut jobs

it's public knowledge by now not to trust Wikipedia in Poland unless you're one of them

also Polish politicians use Wikipedia to boost their profiles, they treat is as a free self aggrandizement platform

everyone knows they edit their own profiles and wipe out any unflattering info

Polish Wikipedia is a poster child for what could go wrong when you leave editing to the common people
Many of the reasons 2FA is added by product managers and engineers is because they are too lazy to actually solve the problem in a way that is empathetic to actual, breathing humans and instead bulldoze through the problem in the least usable method possible, call the problem "solved" and move on to shinier problems.

Just because 2FA "solves" the extremely narrowly defined problem, doesn't mean it is the best solution or even something that people can and will actually use. Upon those metrics alone, 2FA is usually one of the worst "solutions" to the problem.

There's no substitute for regularly copying stuff forward onto new media. This has become practical upon the advent of ever-increasing capacity disk drives.
The point is, there's not need for everything to be 100% reliable in this context. If a fire destroys everything and their computational resources is unavailable for a few days, that's somewhat okay. Not ideal, but not a catastrophic loss either. Even data loss is no catastrophic - at worst it means redoing one or two weeks worth of computations.

Some sort of 80/20 principle is at works here. Most of the costs in professional cloud solutions comes from making the infrastructure 99.99% reliable instead of 99% reliable. It is totally worth it if you have millions of customers that expect a certain level of reliability, but a complete overkill if the worst case scenario from a system failure is some graduate student having to redo a few days worth of computations (which probably had to be redone several times anyway because of some bug in the code or something).
This article is replete with examples of the weaknesses of a federated system run by people who aren't looking to profit.

> This made me realize how little joy I’ve been getting from being an admin. How I’ve come to resent the work I have volunteered to do. I’ve donated countless hours to running the instance, solving both technical and moderation problems, and I’ve always put the instance above my own needs. But I can’t put the instance above the needs of my family.

> Why Not Transfer to a New Admin?

> Users have put their trust in me with their data. Choosing a new admin would require a massive amount of trust, since they’d have access to over a half decade of user data. Not just data from my local users, but from users they have interacted with.

The ideal inherent in federated systems- "people will use servers run by their anarchist commune's sysadmin" breaks down in real life. Nobody actually has a personal anarchist sysadmin to run their mastodon instance for them. In absence of this, the servers in federated systems are run by strangers on the internet who foolishly volunteer themselves for a huge amount of unpaid work, and who you just have to hope are going to be responsible with user's data.

This is why the anarcho-capitalist philosophy of the blockchain world has been so much more successful. The first thing they figured out was how to reward people running the servers, and how to make it so you don't have to trust them. It's a viable, expanding system, and with improvements to scalability and privacy, it will handle decentralized social media as well.

I really like this description of how baremetal infrastructure should work, and this is where I think (shameless self promotion) Triton DataCenter[1] plays really well today on-prem.

PXE booted lightweight compute nodes with a robust API, including operator portal, user portal, and cli.

Keep an eye out for the work we are doing with Triton Linux + K8s. Very lightweight Triton Linux compute node + baremetal k8s deployments on Triton.

Hi! I'm Henry, a Computer Science student at the University of Rochester, with two previous SWE internship experiences. I'm looking for a software engineering internship or part-time position.

I interned at JPMorgan Chase in summer 2022, where I used ElasticSearch to implement a recommendation feature for their regulatory compliance library, which houses 15 million law citations. I also interned at an early-stage AI start-up in summer 2021, where I took ownership over an online code assessment platform.

Feel free to email me at codicate@gmail.com
I also love the feel of using these old systems, but I wonder how much of it is also to do with the physical experience.

Do you think you would get a similar or diminished experience with e.g a raspberry pi and a little LCD screen etc that booted straight into a minivmac emulator? ... I must admit I get a sense of satisfaction from turning on certain old electronics, like the resonating "clung" of the e transformer in my amplifier when I flip the switch, so maybe that's all part of it, the sense of an appliance, something less fallible, and also the absence of all those layers of complexity under the emulator.
> I can’t legally garnish any wages.

Why not?

You have a judgment in your favor.

Send it to collections.
So first off, GPUs are MIMD, in that each compute-unit / symmetric multiprocessor is independent of one another.

NVidia's 3xxx line of GPUs are further 2-instructions per clock tick / superscalar, which is more "traditional" MIMD, in that the cores are now doing 2 different things per clock tick on top of all the SIMD-goodness they're doing. AMD is mostly SIMD, but arguably MIMD from the perspective that it could be executing a "scalar" instruction (branch / loop instructions) in parallel with a "vector" instruction (add/subtract/multiply)

----------

So we can say that the assembly-language model of NVidia PTX / AMD RDNA/CDNA is SIMD, but the execution is now MIMD.

This pdf would then add a virtual machine on top of that, giving us an MIMD virtual-machine that compiles into SIMD instructions that's executed on MIMD hardware.

I dunno where I'm going with this, I'm just amused by it, that's all. Each step makes sense but its kinda funny when you look at it all from the top down.
> Sure they do. Just as one example, the law that felons cannot vote has frequently been cited as racially motivated. Another example is stop and frisk.

Yes, and those accusations are stupid because e.g. the prohibition on felons voting in most states dates to before the civil war when most Black people couldn't vote. Iowa had some of the strongest felony voting rules in the country, which it adopted in 1846 when it had virtually no Black people.

Gun control laws were originally adopted to disarm Black people. Felon-in-possession and red flag laws disproportionately affect Black men. Do you go around calling contemporary proponents of gun control motivated by racism?

A major justification for abortion in the early 20th century was limiting the birth rate of minorities and poor people. Do you accuse abortion advocates of being motivated by racism?

No, you don’t because you recognize that there are independent reasons for those policies even if some advocates of those policies have (or had in the past) racist motivations.
Are you in the USA? I just did some googling on this as I was unaware of laws regarding the garnishment of wages. I have subordinates that have wages garnished for Child Support every paycheck. At least in my state, you can most certainly garnish wages/property for a judgement in your favor. It will probably take a bit more time, but I would stick it out to get my money back. If the contractor has nice Stihl saws, I would remand some $$$ to get one of them from him. Possibly even the truck as the contractor has probably depreciated the asset for tax reasons.

Yeah but it’s called standard for a reason, probably like 80% or more of guitar music uses it.

Include a few other tunings (drop d and below, dadgad, the more popular open tunings) and you can bump that up to 99%.
