That's another curious aspect for me (I'm from EU): how can such systems prevent scams?

Let's say a properly trained and tried company decide to work in the aftermath of a widespread disaster: they'll get many customers spread in a certain area, almost all at the same time. They apparently works well. Few years after quality issues, leaks etc appear. In the meantime that said enterprise have closed, reopening with a slightly different selection of peoples and a different name. How a license system can avoid such events (common here, so to speak)?
Estimation can be a useful tool for a team to do to ensure that everyone has a shared understanding of a task.

Two drastically different estimations can highlight that there may be a lack of understanding or a high difference in skill / experience on the team. Knowing that allows empowers the team to break a task down smaller, make the task more clear, or spend some time educating team members.

I don't think those estimates should be shared outside the team.
I have a single headlight on my motorcycle. I'm aware that adding more headlights will make me more visible at night, but adding two additional headlights will cost me $500 in parts alone. That's 1/12 the entire cost of what I paid for my bike.

I just don't ride at night.

Not a lawyer but I’ve been in lawsuits on all sides. It’s the general recommended practice.

The number can only go down, never up, so you ask for all that you can.

It does have -some- sense if you think about it: this is a young kid with a whole career ahead of him. Because of this accusation, his career is pretty much over. Since he could have been one of the best (as demonstrated by beating magnus) he would have made $100m over a lifetime. Based This is probably the order of magnitude that hikaru and magnus will make in their careers. Or some loose logic like that
Self hosting has become very easy these days. Elasticsearch, specifically was a pain to self manage years ago. With modern versions, it has become incredibly stable, defaults have made more sense, and you now have modern tools like Kubernetes to make deploying/scaling easier too. The work required to self-host has improved in the past decade, and ppl who "default to the cloud" ignore this.

I'm saying this as someone who manages a 50 TB cluster for a startup (which I know isn't a HUGE amount, but definitely not small either)
The conclusion is for an origin server halfway across the world from your users, CloudFront with Origin Shield is basically equivalent to CloudFlare with Argo (latency).

The other takeaway is AWS documentation is kind of dodgy for some services. But basically everyone knows that already.
Oracle and SQL Server are also embedded databases that happen to have a networking layer on top. And, given the context, a networking layer is likely what you're building anyway.

> fiber analysis is also fake as hell (like saying: these threads came from your carpet, or your shirt).

I'm not a forensic technician, but I've watched probably every episode of every true-crime forensic documentary TV show / YouTube channel / podcast / etc that exists; which probably has some weak but non-negligible correlation with having a gestalt impression of what people do and don't use forensic techniques for in practice. (At least in the "solved" cases, since the point of these shows is "how they solved it.")

In every use of "fiber analysis" I ever saw covered, where the "fiber analysis" was actually used to prove something, the thing they're always noticing is "trilobal fibers" — presumably because, at least for some period in recent history, those type of fibers only ever got used by specific manufacturers for specific use-cases (vehicle manufacturers, for car floor matting, IIRC); and weren't part of the composition of anything sold to individuals at retail (except, perhaps, replacement car floor mats.) So "trilobal fibers on the body" could be taken to imply "this person was at some point in a car footwell/trunk."

I don't ever recall any case that made a "fiber analysis" claim other than that particular one. (Maybe once someone claimed something about what proprietary dyes were used on the fibers via GCMS assay — but that's not really "fiber analysis" per se.)
This is the answer.

I am interviewing right now and my previous experience includes devops roles and SRE roles, so I get contacted for both by recruiters. After hearing about the responsibilities and examples for these roles I can only come to the conclusion that titles are a waste of time. Even the "level" of a title of Staff, Principal, Lead, etc are a waste of time. Just call the job what it is and if you can't decide on what it is at least to an 80% level, maybe you're asking too much for that job?

In this particular case I think Tailscale has been discussed thoroughly enough on Hacker News in the past that it's OK that they didn't include the "what is Tailscale" bit (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) - but I agree, it's always better to start a blog entry with a reminder.

Some Congress members didn't even want the STOCK bill of 2012 to pass, including Senator Burr: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2020/03/20/senators-a...

(Other Congresspeople didn't support it, and also appear guilty of doing something with privileged knowledge, but I'd like to just focus on one person of note)

Senator Burr was accused of behaving badly: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/coronavirus-trading...

And as of this year, unsealed FBI docs show he sold a bunch of stock: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/06/unsealed-fbi-docs-reveal-a-f...

As far as I can tell, it did indeed involve individual stock purchases. As the article says:

> According to the FBI, “As a result of Senator Burr’s sales on February 13, 2020, his portfolio went from approximately 83% in equities to approximately 3% in equities.”

So... as far as I can tell, this absolutely has happened. And although Senator Burr and other officials didn't officially get charged, I would very much like to stop this behavior.

Could you tell me more about your experiences with effective waiting culture?

I'm having a hard time believing that a e.g. a high-level manager/exec with 20 meetings per day, and a 60 hour work week is able to be on time with a purely waiting approach.

There are so many people that you need to align with this culture. If it worked for you, wherever you are, I respect that a lot.

How doable (guess not) would it be to make a "gravity battery" ? A tiny but heavy balls are thrown from top and while passing thru thin channels they rotate some sort of mini-dynamo that creates electricity. Once all balls are on the bottom, generated electricity is used to rotate the whole thing and start process anew.

I’m not sure what the alternative is, in any field, unless your work is so boutique and specialized that nobody else does it (auteur filmmakers, maybe).

Not sure I follow: you're claiming that double entry forces you to write things with better transactions in mind but the only difference between the two is having 1 vs. 2 rows.

Say we have a hotel reservation system, it looks like this in my proposition:

1. Wrap a transaction around rows

2. Add reservation event

3. Add one ledger row for payment

4. Add one ledger row for tax

vs. double entry:

1. Wrap a transaction around rows:

2. Add reservation event

3. Add two ledger rows for payment

4. Add two ledger rows for tax

Why wouldn't he win? As you mentioned, nothing has been proven, and yet in the "court of public opinion" he's already guilty and is the butt (in the literal sense) of jokes all due to the insinuations and accusations from Mr. Carlsen, the chess tournament hosts, etc.

This guy's reputation is in shambles and yet hasn't been formally charged with anything and there's no hard proof anywhere (AFAIK).

Seems to me that there's an onus on the defendants to prove he cheated, and if they can't do that... wouldn't they have to be found guilty of defaming him?

Notably: I'm no lawyer and have no idea how defamation cases actually work.

So I'm not nuts. My work laptop recently changed from Fedora using flatpak to Ubuntu using snap and with flatpak, I'd get a couple notifications "Hey, XYZ was updated" and on the next reboot, it was new. With snap, I have to shutdown the application, update it in a console and relaunch it. Meh.
I don’t think you’re disagreeing with me. Developers should know what their code runs on. They shouldn’t have to add managing that to an already full schedule of work. That’s the difference.

> But Not Strictly Open Source doesn't appeal much to HN crowd

I don't think this is true. "Open Source" But Not Really is what gets criticized here, such as Elasticsearch's new license.

Things that want to benefit from calling themselves open source while restricting user freedoms.

Source available on the other hand is exactly what it claims to be. It's more open than strictly closed source and less free than fully open source.
I mean the Wikipedia article on it basically says as much: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodstain_pattern_analysis

> The validity of bloodstain pattern analysis has been questioned since the 1990s, and more recent studies cast significant doubt on its accuracy. A comprehensive 2009 National Academy of Sciences report concluded that "the uncertainties associated with bloodstain pattern analysis are enormous" and that purported bloodstain pattern experts' opinions are "more subjective than scientific." The report highlighted several incidents of blood spatter analysts overstating their qualifications and questioned the reliability of their methods. In 2021, the largest-to-date study on the accuracy of BPA was published, with results "show[ing] that [BPA conclusions] were often erroneous and often contradicted other analysts."

That's not the same as saying it could _never_ be done properly, but the analysis being done right now is not that, even though it's presented in courts as expert opinion with high certainty.
Well, LLMs, like other ML models, are just algorithms that were automatically derived from test data. Calling that "intelligence" seems fine for marketing, but I doubt it flies in a court of law. IANAL though.
Double-entry is recording the credits and debits in a column and each account change happens on a row.

Shared database can be a reasonable microservice boundary, especially when using database-as-queue or database-as-mucroservice. In the former, services a, b and c can insert and query but only D can update, i.e. any service can creat a work-order but only D can mark it completed. I. The latter, nobody can read or write and all access to tables is done through stored procedures.

I don't recommend either, and it's still a code smell, but with clear definitions they can work.

Cyclist, motorist, biker and pedestrian here. I’m not sure what kind of motorcycle you have at your locale, here the mandatory running lights are alone quite visible. When I go by bike I have a Garmin Varia (sorry for the ad) which is quite powerful and also start blinking crazily when something arrives from behind.

We live in a world that has accepted road casualties. What to reduce them? Make people accountable for that, eg. lifetime driving license revocation.

I can’t believe we are talking about going around like a Christmas tree to increase survival probability. Are people driving? Then let’s make sure they are looking at where they are going.

Next time what? Will you mandate LEDs fitted jackets to pedestrians?
Serious rider here. Riding is my primary transportation.

I used to ride at night much more often years ago, but I've basically modified my lifestyle to the point of just avoiding riding at night at all regardless of lighting situation. After enough close calls with drivers who just don't pay attention, not to mention in the city I live in drunk driving as well as aggressive driving is sadly very common.

To be honest I even feel less comfortable driving at night even in a car, for the rare time I drive my girlfriends car after enough years of just avoiding night driving.
I know this is me being paranoid, but wild conspiracy theories is what the internet is for: two weeks ago someone sabotaged the German train infrastructure cutting down two internet cables [1] and now land cables on France are cut at the same time that subsea cables are cut in the UK.

It is entirely possible that all three incidents are unrelated, but given the current tensions I wouldn't outright discard a more sinister reason. If someone were testing the weak points of European infrastructure, I think it would look pretty much like this.

However, the law does often distinguish between modulating/pulsating lights and flashing ones. In the US, federal code 49 CFR Part 571.108 S7.9.4.1 explicitly allows modulating headlights on motorcycles[1]. From time to time I do see motorcycles whose headlights pulse. I hate it - it makes them easier to see but harder to gauge distance, and harder to focus on all the other traffic and pedestrians on and around the road.

The problem is that you're still paying some subset of that $250-500 (in addition to the subscription fee), because in order to offer the subscription option to anyone, they have to include the hardware in every car, even if a particular owner decided not to buy the subscription. The carmaker has to defray that cost somehow, and that means every car gets a little bit more expensive up front, regardless of whether or not you pay for the subscription.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if you're not permitted to buy the subscription on a month-by-month basis, and instead have to buy it in 6-month or 12-month chunks. Maybe some carmakers don't do this, but they can, and some will.
Thanks - it was definitely hard to visualize with only the (oddly) un-illustrated article.

Without going all the way to version "E", I've noticed that a setup not pictured, with two full-sized headlights side-by-side in the normal just-under-the-handlebars location (round or rectangular didn't matter) instantly made it far easier to identify the motorcycle and judge distances. The single headlight just looks too much like a car with one dead headlight (especially since standard riding technique is to not ride in the center of the lane), and it takes seconds to figure out if I'm looking at a bike or a car possibly halfway into my lane. Two headlights it's instant, and also upgrades it to a 2D object in a black field, making 3D judgements much easier, as the spacing between them widens on approach, etc..

I think the best setup would be a dual-headlight setup in the illustrated "E" setup.
I'd say that all economics at a national level is about confidence. If the markets have confidence in what you're doing they don't react badly, if they don't have confidence in what you're doing, they react badly.

By not laying the ground properly for their "mini-budget" they (Truss and Kwarteng) caused the markets to lose confidence in them, causing the problems that occurred.

It doesn't really matter what most people thought of it, as they don't run the financial markets :)
Not giving vague hand-wavey estimates seems like a solution to that problem.
llvm-mca prefers the "fold" over the "min". Intuitively it's more pipelinable. The codegen for "min" has data dependencies that are not there for the "fold" version.
