Some phones are great at this - if you're on a call and want to look up your account number to give to a service rep, getting close enough to tap an app button turns off your screen, even in speakerphone mode. Pull back your hand to tap the power button to turn on the screen? Well the screen detected your finger left and turned on just as you were hitting it. Now you're in a third state, intentionally off screen, and just moving your finger around the sensors won't change that. You have to tap the same power button again, and then start the process all over.

Don't forget you've been talking to a service rep this whole time, or more likely sitting going "uhhhhhhmmm..." like a dipshit.
Not just the paper has to be perfect, but all the reviewers too. Sadly people don't just ask reasonable and already unanswered questions.
Interesting, thanks for the reply. What skills are typically required for MLOps positions?
Name some! I'm in many Meetup communities for various kinds of tech, in touch with people working on several stealth startups, and the only "tech enthusiast" spaces that ever come up in conversation are the struggling one on the peninsula and the chaotic one in the Mission.

Git seems to do a lot I don’t know of. It was only last year that someone showed me git bisect, and it’s probably saved me at least a full day of stress and commit-shuffling in that time. Git either has some pretty horrible discoverability UX problems, or I just don’t question a tool I use daily.

Either way, maybe it’s time I looked at git’s man page
Latest one to catch me out on is when receiving calls on my Pixel phone it will pop up "screen call" as an option where the "accept call" button had been half a second earlier, and not let you override it to actually accept the call.
i think the cycle needs to be looped, see MonadFix and ArrowLoop, also recursive do extension. which is all connected with FRP
Federation isn't symmetrical: I might be able to read mastodon.art posts, but be blocked such that people there can't see me. But that's not really an issue. Being part of the fediverse is learning that people may not want to hear about you, for reasons unknown to you. Maybe bad reasons. But that's ok. You are not owed an audience. And maybe, if you are blocked, there is a good reason for that. On the fediverse there is a high value in the interactions and the relationships, so if a connection is to happen the individuals will do what is needed to make it happen.

Maybe an instance blocks you. Maybe not. Fret not, it will be ok; you will have interactions with other people anyway.

It doesn't help that these calorie dense food are hyperengineered to trigger our hunger more. A personal prohibition seems to be the only way to tackle this.
>> Yes, and now the majority of the country is bullied by the minority.

Can you provide a couple of examples of this?
The lower emissions standards are a form of subsidy, as are not requiring them to be as safe is required by many of our peer countries, but my larger point was that the U.S. has had a century of car-centric, bordering on car-only, infrastructure. That has shaped every part of our country from pushing highways through cities to having the design code used by most cities and states hyper-focused on wide roads optimized for vehicle speeds over safety. There are some cases where following that is linked to federal funding but most DOTs follow the federal guidelines closely even on projects they’re funding entirely locally.

The other big one is gas: we put huge political efforts into keeping prices low, which disproportionately benefits people buying new vehicles which get 1970s-era mileage.
Eh? The majority don't. Quality of life in western Europe is generally excellent.

Pay in the US is attractive, but doesn't make up for what you lose from being in many European countries. Health care, public transport, well maintained roads, better work-life balance, more vacation time, less poverty, won't get murdered in a mass shooting etc. Your mobility as a citizen in the EU is excellent as well, free to travel to so many different cultures.

I live in the UK, and this country is probably going to get much worse. But I still wouldn't trade it just for a higher US salary.

Ha, this is a nice idea, I never do group meetings, but I see how something like this would be really fun for a classroom meeting for example.
Yes, Chinese workers but work still gets done. This isn't a developed nation, perhaps if the west is willing to do business your comment and sentiment has validity but sitting at Chinese workers and Chinese debt us better than sitting at a distance and pitying those poor people and occasionally tossing charity their way.

Perhaps instead of criticizing China you should criticize the west for not besting China? Why isn't europe doing this, afterall they are the final destination of the belt road and they get a ton of stuff from China and can benefit to trade with the rest of asia? IMF and worldbank also hold a ton of debt on developing countries. I mean, I like to think I am the last person to support the CCP but bullshit is bullshit!

If I understand the point of the article it is:

a. Not worth understanding the mysteries.

b. Electrons have spin classically, so no need to talk about Quantum Field Theory

And then posts some equations about spin.

I presume (a) is because we would get into “God” territory and (b) is to make the discussion simpler.
I’ve read about Nix 10 times on HN and can’t figure out why I’d use it over Docker. I already know Docker + Compose and the syntax for Nix looks gross/confusing.

I am guessing Nix flake is like Dockerfile. You build it, and then what? How/where do you run it? k8s? Docker? Is it OCI?
Whilst "plumb" comes the Latin for "lead", so does "plumber", and from a different and earlier path than "plumb". Quoting https://www.etymonline.com/word/plumber#etymonline_v_17491 :

> late 14c. (from c. 1100 as a surname), "a worker in any sort of lead" (roofs, gutters, pipes), from Old French plomier "lead-smelter" (Modern French plombier) and directly from Latin plumbarius "worker in lead," noun use of adjective meaning "pertaining to lead," from plumbum "lead" (see plumb (n.)). The meaning focused 19c. on "workman who installs pipes and fittings" as lead pipes for conveying water and gas became the principal concern of the trade.

We can read Vitruvius' description of chorobates at https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Vitruvius... (Note that https://ethw.org/Roman_Aqueducts claims "the credit given to this instrument by Vitruvius was out of proportion to its real usefulness.")

> The chorobates is a rod about •twenty feet in length, having two legs at its extremities of equal length and dimensions, and fastened to the ends of the rod at right angles with it; between the rod and the legs are cross pieces fastened with tenons, whereon vertical lines are correctly marked, through which correspondent plumb lines hang down from the rod. When the rod is set, these will coincide with the lines marked, and shew that the instrument stands level.

The Latin for "plumb lines" is seen in "quae habent lineas ad perpendiculum recte descriptas pendentiaque ex regula perpendicula in singulis partibus" - Vitruvius does not use a variation of "plumb" to describe those verticals.

That usage, from the quoted etymology, wasn't created for another 1,000+ years.

I could be wrong of course, but the evidence I've seen doesn't support your claim at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33765351 .
I swear some of these are intentional results of bad A/B testing (or active maliciousness) - especially as it often seems that what you want to click moves out of the way for an ad.
Accountability is a core tenant of Christianity. In the end you are accountable for everything you say and do, or don’t do.

There’s bound to be conformity in the way people grow or change under a given framework which is what Churches provide for everyone attending. Conformity as a whole is not the goal otherwise we wouldn’t have different denominations and expressions of worship.

It makes me sad that many online conversations become the Church vs. LGBTQ. I know this is a sensitive subject and the source of much pain. My main point is not to discuss that at length but rather to point to what this article and thread address which is ways the Church can help with loneliness.

I did not mean to intentionally straw man, if I did forgive me. When I spoke of ‘you’ it was a metaphorical as a general person who might not want church and less targeting the OP directly.

I agree with their points I mainly wanted to provide another perspective in hopes that readers might give the Church another chance. We have failed and will continue to in many ways, but I’ve seen the good outweigh the bad.
>Or maybe, just maybe, after 25 years and multiple changes of leadership it's not the same company.

I and many others who lived through and remember the period will believe there has been change once you can purchase a copy of Microsoft Office for Linux. Everything else is just words.

Personally I'm recalling the way Microsoft introduced Windows only incompatibilities to their version of the Java Virtual Machine...

Or set up a rotation with a few other coworkers so that _someone_ can always take a sales call and pass it off to them if it’s during your off/focus day and vice versa for theirs.
Where is that spot? That has never happened to me, but I'm curious to see what it looks like.
An origin story that, if true, we weren’t there, means nothing. The justification to avoid change now is, often but not always, the impact it would have to employers ability to hire.

It’s a problem that can be legislated away with public scrutiny and effort. This kind of history is irrelevant to next steps; it’s not like advocating for a literal holocaust. The figurative identity of a business owner is not my problem.

Just expressing where my indifference for others lies. Keep people alive, figuratively kill coddled businesses.

The account was created in 2008 and has hundreds of Arabic Euronews videos. Seems like it could indeed be the official account of Arabic Euronews?

I can't find sources to be 100% sure though.

EDIT: It has euronews videos that were uploaded in 2012 (likely there are some older ones). Does look like a hacked youtube account.

EDIT 2: See lzooz's reply. It likely is the official Euronews arabic account.
I can recommend “Other Minds” by Peter Godfrey-Smith for a pretty in depth read about octopus intelligence. Fascinating stuff!
Staying in a lane while also maintaining appropriate distances seems better than focusing on maintaining constant speed in traffic. The key is whether you can maintain a reasonable constant speed relative to traffic without changing lanes.

Basically, always driving at exactly the speed limit to the degree possible is a questionable heuristic when there are a lot of cars.

The difference is whether the overtime is driven by my own conscientiousness, or external expectations. The former is OK in small doses, the latter rapidly causes resentment. The problem with being an "early adopter" of a shortened week is that other people don't necessarily adjust their expectations accordingly.

Ok good tip. Just to clarify. When I drive garage to garage, as many people do, I don't walk in the rain. When I do walk in the rain, I carry an umbrella, and that doesn't work on a bike
Yeah, but you wait and fill out paperwork even if you are paying. Clearly, we need to improve things.
It's acceptable or reasonable, whether it's "pur forth in the job description" or not, any more than "candidate must be able to tolerate light racism", or "must be OK with managers groping them" would be.

The verbosity of all these SEO'd sites is just maddening. A recipe page is 90% a FAQ with vapid questions like "Is brown rice nourishing?" "Can I use filtered water with rice?" "Will the rice satisfy my family?" with multiple paragraph answers for each.
How many RV disposals are nearby? Do they have the necessary volume? Will anyone pack up their entire permanent home once a week to tow it to the dump station? Composting is not sufficient to destroy human pathogens, and prohibiting storage of an empty RV on an otherwise empty plot of land prevents people from bouncing back and forth between two permanent RVs on two different plots of land (never permanently resident in either).

I agree the laws could be changed to provide more options instead of blanket bans, and choosing not to do so is probably somewhat classist, but as far as I can tell they are going after real problems. (Even if bluntly)
Tomonagas book "the story of spin" is a banger. Really gentle at times but very detailed and insightful at other times

I didn't accuse you of antisemitism, interesting that you're defending yourself. I just pointed out that Nazi ideology and symbology are a current political concern in the United States today.
https://www.plasmic.app/ has done this since its inception. It is a page builder that has drag and drop content editing, integrates with arbitrary codebases and modern frameworks like NextJS, and builds static (or non static) sites that are hosted on Vercel/Netlify/etc. (I work on this.)
PTFE tape is meant to block the helical path around the screw threads for leaks to propagate. For parallel threads it's absolutely vital.

There's a business that I know which had a 4 day work week and all the employees just moonlighted at other jobs on Friday to make extra money...so they just opened for a half day on Fridays to give people the option to make more money there.

It was an actual service based company where more hours meant more customers served.
dumb question: how easy is it for the average person to go from an “American” diet high in addictive things like bad fats, corn syrups, processed foods, etc. etc. to a “clean” 1200kcal diet?

I was under the impression it was like trying to fight drug addiction and the chances of you sustaining it and not relapsing/making up the missed calories later as near impossible for most once you’ve become addicted enough to things like Diet Coke, Chik-Fil-A, etc.

Right, the user wants to see the result, but doesn't care about the developer's test that the result is the expected result.
No, the mysteries that "are deep, hard to understand, and not worth the effort" are why Scientific American is publishing this junk article. My lay theory is that SA hasn't been worth reading in decades and basically nobody can write well about quantum mechanics for a casual audience..

I agree and don't like Web pages that are complicated, require time, clicks, and effort to learn to use, have page content jumping around, cover the page with images requiring the user to stop what they are trying to do, change the window size and magnification, find a way to get rid of the image and do so, return the window size and screen magnification to what they were, and get back to the reason they came to the Web site.

In my startup, uh, I'm on good terms with our front end developer and we agree on Web page design techniques:

So, no popups, pull downs, overlays. Nothing on the screen jumps around or moves. Large, relatively bold fonts and high contrast.

Always have both vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

No warnings or requests to permit the site to use cookies -- the site makes no use of cookies.

Hmm, maybe someone somewhere, maybe the EU, will make a big stink that we have not asked users to let us use cookies. Sounds like a good source of publicity until finally we end the stink explaining that we use no cookies and are not required to get approval for NOT using cookies!

The site HTML makes nearly no use of JavaScript.

Users don't login.

Users are not asked to spend money or up click on some popularity counter.

The server cores generate each Web page quickly, and each page sends for only about 40,000 bytes. When we convert the storage for our SQL database from rotating disk to solid state memory, the page generation will be significantly faster. Net, the site is responsive.

The pages and user interface are based on just the HTML controls with one line text boxes, push buttons, links where each link is a single word in the Roman alphabet in English with a simple meaning -- page design techniques very familiar to likely 2+ billion people.

Ah, we don't expect 2 billion devoted users right away and will be pleased with 1+ billion!
I feel like this is a good default if the idea is to cram in automation metadata.
Having lots of config is fine, even good, if you ship sane defaults. Frankly most OSS flunks this, and git is one of the biggest offenders.
In my experience, the caching of WordPress became essential on shared hosting which one of my clients was somewhat bound to for....reasons. Without, each page load was atrociously slow, but once enabled and the cached was warmed, the site moved as quickly as anywhere else.

It's interesting because a custom legacy PHP application on the same shared host didn't demonstrate such slowness, but I did write some aggressive in-request caching (static variables for repeatedly called functions, mainly) to great performance effect.
We (ab)use our logging pipeline for metrics too (can afford to do so because of our rather meagre scale, which also means we don't really need tracing much).

Whenever metrics are needed, we pull (hive-compatible time-partitioned) logs (transformed to parquet or csv) from the blob store into DuckDB and on-demand query from there. No online dashboards, but pretty good for the cost.

It doesn’t have to, but there is a good overlap of the vent diagram of engineers who open source their work with engineers who have a passion directly related to that work.

I can see both sides of the argument, some people want to just do their stuff and leave, whereas others might wholly devote themselves to the problem.
Not at all. They're largely orthogonal to one another, one being about market access and the other about factors of production. In many ways they're even antagonistic; a system that asserts the primacy of capital over labor and treats it preferentially reduces access to markets for those whose primary contribution is labor (which is most of us). The two only seem hard to distinguish or disentangle because people are conditioned not to think too hard about the difference.
I know you're being sarcastic, but this is actually just table-stakes for any sort of research in fundamental physics. This is quite analogous to linear momentum being the generator of translation, yet having mysterious components in E&M that aren't a particle moving, but charge interacting with the somewhat inscrutable "vector potential".
Everyone agrees it is a terrible system. The high prices are because many people cannot pay, and the wait is because many people have no where else to go. We just can't seem to get from our system to a better one, but it's not because we are evil. Our healthcare system is in a stuck bad state and change is complicated.

Prescription drugs are a whole other thing. Those high prices are because you will die if you don't get the drugs. That's a relatively easy fix, and there is no excuse for our government not taking action on that.
