You said this "You learned that for 1000 experiments you observed something"

So then yes, that is an agreement that at least to that statement.

> But established nothing.

Well it established that at least you agree with that statement.

> Because I disagree with you.

actually you said this "I agreed to this:"

This is you saying that you agreed with the statement that followed that. So yes, you used the word agree.
> young people who say they don't want kids because they think their personal lives will permanently halt the moment they have kids

They say that because they know they can't trust their kids with abusive child care system or the abusive schooling system which creates people who perpetuate the abuse to give power to corrupt government and corrupt corporations.

You can have as many kids you want and still have all the time if you don't intend to be responsible for them.

So if airlines enforced callers to put their device on speaker that'd resolve the issue?
Thank you!

Now that you mention it, I tend to pause and rewind a lot. But I likely do miss connections that are more than a few minutes apart.
It has been flagged and still is. Not sure what kind of reputation damage it might have done if it was not caught, and the author, obviously has not been trying to hide too hard.
Oh wow, that just jogged a really old memory. I'm pretty sure I had that one, but can hardly remember anything else. Could it have been Xenocide?

edit: Oh, or maybe Silpheed? This is the closest thing I found with some searching: https://youtu.be/o98xKZk5FOk?t=182
3+5=8

8+5=13

I assume the '1' of the '13' carries into the 8 => 8+1=9

Same for the numbers after that.
Eh. Id wager 81%+ of teams also directed to cut headcount, fun budgets, travel budgets etc.
This week, as most weeks, I split my time outside of the day job and my other hobbies and obligations between a few projects:

https://github.com/bri3d/VW_Flash - Flashing tools for select control modules in VW MQB and now PQ35 platform cars. This week I'm working on old stuff: a simpler exploit chain for older Simos ECUs, as well as tweaks to expand support to older DSG control units used in PQ35 platform vehicles.

https://github.com/fpv-wtf/msp-osd - I pushed a rearchitect of this on-screen-display overlay system for DJI FPV Goggles last week that seems to have sorted out a lot of issues - I switched from just passing through the OSD drawing messages from the Flight Controller to a system where the video transmitter maintains the OSD character buffer and sends a compressed representation of the screen state. This makes the system much more robust to packet loss in situations where the Flight Controller sends delta updates rather than frame-at-a-time.

I only really started publishing Open Source projects a year or two ago, and while they're pretty much my worst code by any objective measure, I've met some great people and really enjoy working on these. It's fun making things that achieve a goal without so much pressure of deadlines, stakeholders, and competing priorities.
Taiwan has hundreds of anti ship misiles with a range of over 100km.

China doesn’t have to storm beaches to be within shooting range.

If Taiwan were an easy conquest it would have been conquered. It’s not impossible that China would attempt some sort of belligerence, but Taiwan is capable responding to any threat with enough firepower to deter such actions.

Adding new features to listmonk (mailing list / newsletter manager), preparing for its next release.

Setting up and playing around with Omeka, a brilliant document publishing system, to help publish an archive of digitised physical books and documents.

I am publishing a newsletter about Ruby https://newsletter.shortruby.com, and I am trying to automate part of my process to focus more on curating the content.

My process looks like this:

1. I have a list of tweets and Reddit posts that I gather during the week. This list is sending self-DMs on Twitter or Telegram
2. I have a Ruby on Rails app that will read the tweets and posts and will save them in the local DB
3. I browse the list of things, and I have a simple button, "Hide" that I press to remove what I don't want to include
4. Now comes the more manual part

4.1 I click to open each Tweet (mostly) or Reddit post and then I take a screenshot of that Tweet
4.2 Then I transform the screenshot (like resize) to fit the Substack (my newsletter is hosted there)
4.3 Then I drag and drop the screenshot in Substack, and I add a caption (where I specify the source) and alt for the image

So far, I managed to write an apple script that automated 4.2, but I am trying to find a way to take the screenshot automatically so I am playing a bit with headless browsers.

Machine learning is powerful in many domains, but it's giving engineers license to be lazy. I don't know why everyone isn't using NNs and the likes as augments to existing code so that they keep what already works fine, but rather, they feel they can just replace it, which leads to all the problems we see now in Google, in autocorrect, and so on.
This is generally good perspective.

In this particular case the NDA was not scoped to non-public information (but rather proprietary information) and had no duration clause.

Also this NDA was provided prior to me (in theory) conducting a presentation to the prospective employer. Not the other way around.
One of the jobs of parenting is teaching social norms. Children don’t instinctively know them.
For the HN crowd who like to roll with JS turned off, you’re missing out on great interactive illustrations.
I've noticed this in the last 4-5 years or so. It's really bad, but I just put up with it. I just recently bought a Pixel 7 to see how that compares and just might switch over.
What is a spring suit?
I feel exactly the same way, but I'm getting older too, so it could be age.
I doubt it, though. My phone keyboard frustrates the shit out of me, and I come to dread doing ANYTHING with it.

When I had a Nokia with a hardware keyboard, I could write at 90wpm with zero typos without even looking at it. It was phenomenal. Now? Every second letter is a fat finger, auto-correct gets it wrong every other word, and it's a frustrating ordeal trying to move the cursor to exactly where I want it to fix it.

It undoubtedly reduces the number of messages I send because it's such a draining experience.
Assuming a plane has about 100 passenger per flight in average, that's $4/passenger.

Can I also vent about the lack of undo? I consider undo one of the most essential features of any computing device. How is it still simply not supported on the most widely used computing platform?
This helped my typing. Does slide to type change the target area of the keys? With it on it seems like I am hitting keys on the line below I am targeting. With it off, many fewer typos.
I think his take on “debug-ability > correct by construction,” has to assume that you can understand the problem or can understand the problem. In my experience this works fine when you have a mostly procedural process on a single machine. Set some watchers, step through execution, pause to inspect state. It is much harder to do with concurrency. And damn near impossible with distributed systems.

As someone who has claimed to use these kinds of tools to verify protocols, I’m curious what cases he would break this preference for debugging over reasoning. Or is the contradiction intentional?

I was big into Common Lisp for years and mostly into Haskell and Lean now. I still think debugging is fine and useful to do but I get the most bang out of being able to reason about my program before I run it. Once you have the definitions and proofs in place running the code is fine I guess but all the work is done.

Whereas with more dynamic systems the work has barely begun: now I need to bump into all of the errors in my code while it is running.

There are times when I want both and I don’t think the computing world needs to pick one and only one.
What does it mean 'preparing them for their lives as citizens'? School is for learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. Learning how to be part of society is something everyone learns in the theater of life, not from school teachers specifically (as much from school teachers as from all the other important people in their life).

AnySnooze – Chrome Extension for snoozing tabs
Check out this new extension just launched on the web store.

It allows you to snooze tabs in just english, "in 1 hour", "in 30 minutes", "next week mon 9am"

Yep - I lived through it too and it led to me realizing that there could eventually be a life outside of the MSFT bubble.

I think that the vast majority of the impacted employees were in Nokia, but the mothership was also affected - one of our team members simply vanished that day.

I have a very different experience. In all tech companies I worked at (Bay Area) there were very many Indian immigrants, most of whom were religious. In fact, I have never met an atheist from India.

We would frequently discuss religion, philosophy, religious traditions - especially after work or on business trips.

I must add that I am an atheist, which was never an obstacle to our discussions.
I turn autocorrect and all auto-complete and suggestions off.

> the joy of Docker in a JVM environment with many applications is that you can pin the JVM for each individual application; you aren't forced to use whatever JVM is installed on the machine. This gave developers more freedom, because they could deploy whatever JVM environment they needed.

If you ever find yourself needing to do this, something's gone very wrong. (Maybe you're using a dodgy framework that mucks around with JVM internals?) You can download jars from 25 years ago and run them on today's JVM no problem, to the point I have a lot more faith in JVM backward compatibility than in Docker backward compatibility.

> As I said originally, this problem doesn't exist with Go because it emits static binaries that don't generally need additional support files, which is why I'd love to see more discussion on dynamic deployment of binaries instead of docker containers.

I actually think the way forward in the long term is unikernels. Given that people are mostly going for a one-application-per-VM/container model, most of what a multiuser OS is designed for is unnecessary. For the cases where you do need isolation, containers aren't really good enough, VM-level isolation is better. And for the cases where you don't need isolation, you might as well go full serverless.
Recursive lambda function call?
Not 80% or 82%.
Is it intentional that each site section is only 80% of the screen width? Definitely make that 100% width. Phones are narrow enough already.
I wouldn’t. As soon as a “savings measure” causes a critical outage they’ll be directed to spend to prevent another outage.
It’s interesting to see how few use Zulip given that it’s targeted at the HN crowd and there’s a lot of love here for it.

Yes, they and others in fact have changed their mind as the accessibility of this service has grown and can be expected to be used by someone easily for longer durations than before
Not just you. Typing on the iPhone has become increasingly a chore over the last few updates for me.
I’m eagerly anticipating our company moving to Teams.

Right now, the only approved chat solution is Skype for Business (with only plaintext messaging - rich text, files and images have been disabled for security reasons).

Other chat and social media sites are blocked at a firewall level (including Slack, Discord, Facebook, etc.).

I’ve heard bad things about Teams, but it’s surely better than the current solution we use with its lack of persistence and plain text limitation.
Id hate my Apple Remote if I could find it. Oh well, At least I can use my phone now to control the Apple TV.
I don't have stats, but the parent was arguing that even if you assume what I said is true, he still wouldn't use Amazon because somebody who makes more money should pay more, but their competitor doesn't have to because they're poor.
Surviving the first months of my first born. Learning that I should have been more grateful to my parents. There is no time left for tinkering.
The announcement said they're aligning with PCIe 4.0. If we assume that's 4 lanes then hopefully it should support 40-50 Gbps of tunneled PCIe traffic.
I think they lost a lot of potential customers after NSA released Ghidra.
I hope it does. It may direct more attention to Ghidra instead.
This has nothing to do with focus - it's explaining cost-benefit analysis.
Thank you for the feedback. There is a peek of more content to indicate it is swipe-able to see more. Kind of like websites do with images, like Netflix for example.

Do you think if it was 100%, then people would still understand they could swipe?
Just made these changes and the improvement is insaaaane. The most important one IMO is turning off “Predictive” typing. Leaves more room for keys and screen and I never tapped those suggestions anyway. This feels so much better. Thank you.
This is not a "zero-sum situation". There's no such thing as a fixed pool of teachers that everyone is competing against. The number of teachers, who count as a teacher etc, it all depends.

For example, public schools typically demand very specific credentials before they employ someone in a teaching position. Individuals or private institutions might have different demands here. I certainly know personally a lot of people who I'd gladly hire to teach my kids, but who do not fulfill the requirements the public schools set upon teachers.

Second, there's no such thing as "shortage" in absolute terms. There is only shortage at a given price point. If government finds it hard to hire people, tough shit, maybe it should pay more, or demand less at the current wages? Government is not entitled to artificially cheap labor, and if it finds itself unable to compete for the workers, who are poached by the private sector, maybe it should just outsource the entire enterprise to organization more capable at the task?
Perhaps because they live and impact the society you live in, from partaking in government, to voting, amongst other things which may potentially have an impact on your life (such as preventing you from having a sane discussion). I shouldn't even have to mention the Nazis of the 1930s as an extreme example to drive the point home on how anti-semite nut jobs could result in bad things.
I wonder if companies are 1. actually seeing economic difficulty and responding by cutting costs, or 2. imagining/predicting a slowdown, responding to their imagined/predicted slowdown by cutting costs, thereby causing an actual slowdown.
> No it doesn't. They can be neutral.

That's a fair point. Properly I guess we should try to quantify the number of samples expected before we observe an FCS if it's neutral, but that math seems nontrivial. It's at least definitely not beneficial, though. I do agree that the FCS could have evolved naturally, though I guess we'll continue to disagree on the relative probabilities of natural vs. lab-inserted.

That sick pig was probably infected with each virus for days or longer, so that coinfection seems less unlikely to me than a simultaneous species jump and mutation to create the FCS (since those are both roughly instantaneous by comparison). I'm not sure what I'd consider the most likely zoonotic path now; the close identity between the BANAL and SARS-CoV-2 spikes seems like it removes the need for an intermediate host with human-like ACE2, though it's pretty mysterious.
I distinctly remember being blown away by typing on an iPod touch when it first launched: it seemed almost impossible to make a mistake. The keys plus whatever other software (predictive text?) worked incredibly well.

Now I’m on an SE2 and have typos constantly. I really thought it was just me, somehow.
It's not really about Docker. If the software was easy, we wouldn't need Docker this much in the first place. But software sucks, so we wrap it in Docker, but now Docker sucks, because we simply gathered all the shits so that it spills everywhere now. Also, some of the shit is from Docker itself.
I agree, quality is more important than quantity.

There's a common sentiment on social media that you must cherish every single moment possible with your child or you'll regret it later. While well-meaning, this can lead to parents being guilted into having no boundaries.

Setting aside time for yourself is just as important. It makes you less stressed, helps kids develop independence, and models healthy boundary-setting. For example, spending 5-10 minutes fully engaged playing with your child is much more valuable than spending an hour halfheartedly playing with them while your mind is wandering elsewhere.

Don't let numbers like "only 12 summers" create a ticking doom clock over your head, or constantly second-guess yourself, "did I spend enough time with my kids today?" Parents have enough stress as it is.

I'm not saying you should ignore your kids on the weekdays and only spend time with them on the weekends, just that you should not feel guilty about setting boundaries and taking time for yourself sometimes.

(Also: I do agree that spending time outdoors is very healthy and important, but I consider that to be a separate issue.)

Can't complain about that.
I think the statistics look different if you look at it in terms of percent of parents instead of percent of children. There's a certain segment that has lots of kids, either out of wedlock or in circumstance especially vulnerable to divorce and vulnerable to conditions which create unintended neglect due to scarcity of resources. Fewer number of kids is also associated with circumstances associated with more privileged background, which skews the statistics to look very different in % parents vs % children.

Also bear in mind some states consider neglect something like "allowed 8 year old to play at park by himself 2 blocks from the house and within line of sight from a trusted neighbor's house" or "left child in locked climate controlled running car while walking inside to pay gasoline because card reader was broken and didn't want to expose child to crackheads/drunks lingering next to the register (if you use inner-city gas stations you know what I mean)."
Let's say cities have 3000 people per square kilometer. Farms have 1 person per square kilometer.

Only 1 in 3000 people need to desire starlink for cities to have more demand.

Strange situations happen. Not having good service in your neighborhood, hating the one provider available, wanting a backup, liking the idea of internet from space, lower latency over seas and thousands of other reasons I'm not crazy enough to think of.

Ever since buying a house I've been engrossed in this topic along with indoor air-quality and mechanical HVAC systems. There's so much to know about these topics and I feel it helps when dealing with HVAC companies to make sure I'm getting what I want and not be price-gouged. One expert I follow on these topics is Allison Bailes, he has a blog entry on a similar topic of duct design[0]. I find his way of breaking down certain topics simple to follow and enjoy seeing how he's implemented his teachings in his own home.

I recently switched from Android to Apple, and this was a big difference that I noticed. I think Google/Android still use a "simple lookup" dictionary (or similar) that updates based on your own behavior, while Apple's suggestions are sometimes non-sensical, and harder to correct (happens to me when typing domains ending in ".xyz" a lot - they get autocorrected to ".cuz")

exactly. you could find a plausible clock rate that rolls over in ~51 days with any number of assumed counter widths. this is not indicative of anything but guessing.

and there is no margin at all or negative margin, so clearly this is wrong. is the rollover period 52 days? 60? 90?

the whole article is a bunch of unsubstantiated speculation dressed up with lots of facts and details to distract ones attention.
Hmm, WebSphere was solid as a rock when I used it in production.
If 50% of the people in a plane want Starlink cell with a plane want it, vs .1% of the people in NYC want Starlink, then the NYC cell is going to have far more demand.
This feels odd - lately I was getting very confused by the quality of my typing on iOS. It's reaffirming to see so many people with a similar experience.

People who are having kids because they "want to be better" can go ahead and just be better by helping take care of the kids already here who need it.
Why nuke? Why assume that China cannot achieve military success using conventional means?

Observe that "the world" will not be helping Taiwan. India won't. Russia won't. Brazil won't. Nigeria won't. Pakistan won't. Bangladesh won't. Nigeria won't. You get the drill. US will, and probably Europe too, but why assume that these will 1) be able to defeat China in a conventional war in its own back yard, and 2) will even try to do so?
Marketing can only go so far. Are more people finally starting to take their heads out of the cloud? Not only do cloud providers need to pay their own costs, they also need to make a profit on top of that; thus, if one thinks critically, the only time renting can be cheaper than owning is if it's short-term.
