Agreed that sagas can turn into spaghetti and probably aren't a great choice for most Redux apps. Just like everything else in this industry, sometimes you should use stuff, sometimes you shouldn't, it depends. I did want to mention that I've been using Redux for over 6 years now and I really appreciate the improvements you and the rest of the contributors have made. Keep up the good work and thanks for being awesome!
Test Driven Development: Looking Past the Branding Problem
Yes, it seems we agree on all these points here. I don’t think we have any disagreements. My whole argument is that backups are more important than encryption for most people, and encryption is (1) not necessary and (2) shouldn’t be attempted until you have good backups.

You seem to be arguing against something here, but it sounds like it’s really just a miscommunication. The original prompt was to fit the instructions on a postcard, and and perhaps it’s not really possible to fit good instructions on a postcard.

In order to fit instructions on a postcard, there are a number of things I left out with the idea that someone could figure them out. Stuff like “how do I do backups” or “should I encrypt my backups”. I thought that people could figure out to encrypt their backups if they wanted to, because backup solutions have that option. I also thought that people could figure out that you’d also encrypt your backups if you encrypted your hard drive. Maybe I should have spelled it out in excruciating detail.

As far as I can tell, that’s the lesson here—spell things out in excruciating detail, or you’ll get sarcastic jabs in the replies.
Because titles don’t tell you anything, they are decided by the organization you work in for any number of reasons.

What is that value and in which court?

The point is the prosecutors went for what they could reasonably prosecute on, with evidence available.
Depends on the content. Is this just people’s conversations/opinions? Leave it. Free speech means you allow speech you disagree with no matter how messed up it is or happens to be.

Are we talking about potentially stolen/illegal/faked documents being leaked online somewhere? In that case I’d say if you’re an employee with access, follow company guidelines. If this is just public in the internet because somebody was too stupid to secure their MongoDB instance or something though, get behind a reasonably secure non-logging VPN and delete that shit. Don’t poison it though, that’ll make things worse in ways you can’t predict.

If this is data that looks like it’s real, and classified/national security related though, call the FBI immediately and let them handle it. Go no further than that.
Does your team do local dev?

Every team I've known that adopted Lambda + DynamoDB (or equivalents) gave up on running their app locally, adding a lot of friction to the development process.
They quit trying to get me packages in 2 days sometime in the pandemic despite being just a few hours away from a fulfillment center where some relatives work.

Oddly around the same time shipping seemed to speed up from other retailers like Best Buy, Target, Adorama, etc. I buy things from Japan on Ebay and get them more quickly than packages from AMZN. Every other retailer sees shipping as a way to impress me, AMZN takes me for granted because I've been paying for Prime for 10 years.

There are accounts that people in the same ZIP codes as AMZN fulfillment centers aren't getting 2 day shipping. I guess these are rural areas with poor shopping options and AMZN doesn't need to be competitive. I'm pretty sure though that my congressman gets next day or same day shipping in Washington, DC.

Contrary to what you may believe, the market has failure modes. Just because something is difficult to monetise doesn't mean that it's not valuable. Fundamental research is one such thing. It can open up vast realms of possibility for all of humanity, but in a way that's difficult, if not impossible, to privatise. And the benefits may take years, decades or even centuries to pay off. Thus there is very little incentive for any market actors to invest in them.

But if Newton had decided to open an inn instead of work on the Principia the world would have been far worse off for it. Possibly centuries behind where we are now.

I will apologise for calling the restaurant mediocre. I have no idea about the quality of the food, but if you think that's what this hinges on then you've missed the point. That as good a restaurant as it may be, it's not worth losing a mathematician of his calibre over.
Given today's news I just want to say lol. FTT down 58% and the real fire sale hasn't even begun. Alameda is doomed and will fall next.
I don't see where you get any of these assumptions. If anything I'd say a phd is disproportionately attractive to poor students precisely because it pays living expenses, unlike many popular professional degrees which are much more daunting financially (i.e. medicine).

And students literally are killing themselves at universities because of how well they are "set up by their parents" to succeed. This whole line of thinking seems extremely naive when it comes to what people have to sacrifice to succeed in any pursuit in life. Personally I'd say the single most important thing needed to be happy in grad school is friends and a social life. Like everywhere else in life. Liking what you do comes in second.
Anecdotes are funny this way, as the data is 100% accurate or 100% arbitrary.

It's the great unanswered question: what works in game design?

It turns out wand building and extensive end-game/meta progression is far more engaging than most other things. IIRC there was more chemistry early on (I think there was/still is cooking?) and more rogue-like elements like satiation, but wand-building combined with the world physics turned out to be such immense fun, that it eclipsed everything else.
Any options to do this except of doing it gradually thicker?
There just isn't enough talent to make those games. People who are both good at programming and physics are very rare, and without them you are unlikely to produce programs that can use the physics system in reliable enough ways.
I think the parent was pointing out that this is just an intent to acquire and could fall through.

This is a sad post.
Ah, the post I wrote links to a bunch of stuff, but there's so much I would have done differently. These are the highlights...

- Talk to VCs earlier, but not put effort into actual fundraising

- Ran an order of magnitude more user research

- Not bothered putting the effort into raising a pre-seed (without much to show) in this fundraising environment as a function of my current self/life situation

- We offered our testers way too much of a free testing period (6 months!). That was 6-months to see if they convert. X_X

- Switch to a riskiest-assumptions-test (RAT) framework rather than MVP

- Pay much closer attention to capital efficiency rather than a "go big or go home approach"

I'll add some more as I think of them.
mostly hate it when things scale up. I work next door to a neighborhood walmart. so i tend to visit almost daily.

SOMETIMES they have a legacy lane open, mostly its yellow vests (customer service?) hovering around the self checkouts. I go in grab my 2-4 items i need for lunch or dinner that evening or both...

all the tiny self checkouts are clogged with people with an entire cart full of shit and they scan one item, slowly, bag it, grab another item... it takes forever - simply because they're not familiar with the flow. These types of customers also don't know how to bag groceries ending up with 2 or 3 items per bag spread all over the floor because their cart is still full. (taking another 5 min after checkout to put back in their cart) This is where an experienced cashier excels.

the Card only / cash only lanes also suck. at least a couple of times a week someone goes there because its open and has the wrong form of payment. slowing things down even further.

I don't mind doing my own work at the up to full hand basket level. once it gets into grocery cart scale - expedite things with a human!

This seems like apples and oranges to me. Theranos was lying about having a working product and I don't think there were many patients actually hurt, since they still used other products that were already available to have the appearance of something working, but I digress. In the case of vaccines, there is a product that thousands or millions of people take, and some small minority of people have some anomalous reactions. If you are one person that has a serious reaction to a vaccine that millions of people have had just fine, should you be compensated? I can see if it affected a large percentage of people, but where to draw that line I don't know, but then it shouldn't have made it past enough red tape with the FDA to be so widely available.
RE: 2

Tail recursion is non-idiomatic in Common Lisp; both because the standard does not guarantee tail-call elimination (as opposed to, say, Scheme) and because dynamic-binding, which is idiomatic in Common Lisp reduces the number of calls that are in a tail position.

Also, tail-recursion is entirely divorced from syntax; perhaps you meant semantics? For example GCC will optimize tail calls in a rather broad number of contexts.
It sounds like, due to the club's location, it largely appeals to wealthy people. Wealthy people in the US disproportionately skew white/Asian. That's a problem, for sure, but it's probably not the club's fault.
Neither the GP nor myself said that SARS-COV-2 escaped from the Wuhan lab, let alone that it was the result of GoF research.

I called it a theory, as in, neither conclusively proven nor conclusively disproven. It’s a theory about which there has been significant controversy. I didn’t even say there was significant evidence for it.

Acknowledging the existence of a controversy is not the same thing as promoting a conspiracy theory, and as you yourself point out, basically everyone, from word-renowned virologists down to the man in the street, has skin in the game on this one.

The world’s medical community had a COVID response that was a fucking disaster: inconsistent and constantly changing guidance, conflicts of interest, geopolitical 4th dimensional warfare, rushed and sloppy-looking vaccine approvals.

It’s no wonder the public believes a bunch of crazy shit: the experts dropped the ball. Trying to blame that on the ignorance and gullibility of the layperson and flip the script like that set back the public’s willingness to take vaccines and listen to the authorities by 50-100 years.

Don’t try to blame that on us plebs.

That road or lane had to be built. And even with very lightweight traffic, they still require maintenance. Even with foot traffic only, sidewalks eventually need maintenance. I don't think it's controverial to say there are costs involved with maintaining a bike lane. We can argue about how large those costs are, but they are greater than zero and not insignificant.

And yes, bicycle lanes increase traffic congestion for cars. A bicycle lane is one less lane that vehicles can use. They impose costs on drivers by forcing them to interact with cyclists who have much slower acceleration rates and slower speeds. Again, I don't think this is controversial.

I'm not arguing against bike lanes or cyclists. I'm arguing against them receiving the benefits of dedicated lanes and preferential traffic rules without bearing any of the costs. Both drivers and cyclists should pay for their usage. The fact that drivers don't currently pay all of those costs doesn't mean that cyclists should pay none of those costs.
I thought:

> I've instead seen a whole lot of graphs with no prediction whatsoever

made it pretty clear, but maybe not. And the rest was expressing that the actual on-the-ground problem I saw, and the single biggest problem with my state & local-level response to the whole thing, was a complete lack of attention to future trends, not too much. But perhaps that doesn't come across very well. Mea Culpa.

It sounds like you and the other person agree (edit: regarding the need to trust experts). You've just chosen to trust different sources of information than the other person.

FTX has been throwing out red flags for the year or two I've been aware of them. I made this comment four months ago (around the time of 3AC) about how they weren't making sense:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31937498

My hackles go up when I see money suddenly appear from nowhere
That's a very eloquent way of putting it, thank you. It's possibly even worse than just a misunderstanding though. I'm sure there are people in the Crypto industry who see core issue of enforcement, because the second wave (after Bitcoin first became mainstream) was all about smart contracts. E.g. there was an effort to move the subject of enforcement into the framework. After all, if the contracts that need enforcement are part of the crypto system, then enforcement can also happen in the same system. Right?

Of course, this still falls short because no amount of mathematics will bridge that gap. At some point, the financial system (whether classical or based on blockchains) has to interact with the mind boggling mess of the real world. In the real world, 2+2 is not certain or deterministic at all. It can be debated, social implications weighed and the judge might say it's 4 and a bit, or slightly more than a pie.

In some sense it feels like crypto would work perfectly in a world that is completely deterministic, measurable and is populated wholly by algorithms interacting with each other. The second order question then is: would such a world even need crypto?
You are right, but I think it goes back and forth. I can recall seeing a game I was working on (Homefront 2?) where it looked surprisingly photo real - at least as a prototype. But the physics took you out of the illusion as soon as anything moved.

Nowadays I see developers doing amazing things with shaders, like you said. And stylized models are easier to make, but also less in the uncanny valley.

Realism can be cheaper when you don't care about optimizing, or AI can optimize for you. When you can scan in objects and it is workable in a game engine that's cheaper than designing them. We're there with mo-cap vs character animation.
You don't! But that's exactly the problem - you don't need signal at all. All the important messages that you get are gonna come through another platform (SMS, whatsapp, weechat, etc [depending on where you are]). So, now that SMS support is gone, all signal installs are in addition to the apps that you actually need.

Most people will use the messaging platforms that they need to have installed to get through their days. It's nice, ofc, to have friends who are privacy enthusiasts - but Signal main goal has always been to go beyond that group.
Unsurprising. It's difficult to get a new trial, you have to have a strong justification for it.

> Why should she have her sentence delayed until all appeals are exhausted?

Because the legal system would grind to a halt if everyone got their day in court, but chugs along just fine if only a small privileged group is given full protection under the law.

It's the same reason why Snowden is hiding in Russia, while another prominent individual who stole classified documents hasn't even been arrested.
Where we go forward today is that tanks will evolve along the same lines as naval surface combatants (frigates / destroyers / cruisers) have, just a few decades later. Warships used to primarily rely on cannons for offense (with large gun crews) and armor for defense, but the advent of strike aircraft and then guided missiles made those designs obsolete. Now surface ships have minimal gun armaments and little or no armor. Instead they rely on their own guided missiles and aircraft (helicopters and drones) for offense, and speed plus active measures (interceptor missiles, EW, decoys) for defense.

I predict that the "tank" of the future will have a smaller main gun and thinner armor. Instead of slugging it out toe-to-toe with enemy armored vehicles and fortifications it will hang back and locate targets using it's own drones plus data links from other platforms. Then attack those targets using indirect fire missiles and suicide drones. Crews will be smaller, probably just two, with the option to operate temporarily uncrewed under remote control or with some limited autonomy. Survivability will be provided through high mobility, some low-observability (stealth) technology, EW, and updated active protection systems. Think of a mini "frigate" driving around on land.
> that you think their problems aren't serious enough because you'd solve them easily

That would be a rather strange reaction. A single brain gets easily stuck on a problem, so if involving the second brain helps that does not mean that the problem was easy. Or that the first brain was defective. (Frankly, I think it was evolutionary “cheaper” to implement the rule “if stuck - consult” than to implement an unstuckable brain).

As the other comment pointed out, they have a set of very particular facts and will press you with questions about dates, times, amounts, who, what, where, and when. If you say a not true statement about one of those things they charge you with lying. The relevant law is 18 U.S. CODE § 1001. It's 3 pronged and the 2nd says "makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or". I don't believe there is a requirement in this law for criminal intent, caveat IANAL.

I believe it’s a win for the public, government mandates many of these vaccines and while they have extremely low risk, it’s still non-zero. The last thing we need is a bunch of spurious lawsuits finding sympathetic and uninformed jurors driving up the costs for everyone and scaring the public into refusing them. In the US we have plenty of that already.
