I just think you would enjoy the conversation more if your experience was not dependent on someone else's opinion. You are also assuming something about another person that is more than likely untrue. Sounds like a horrible way to live.

No offense to you, but who named you the arbitrator of "valid opinions"? I doubt you are that arrogant in person, but you sure are coming off that way.
Correct. It is an impersonation. Not mine (Gayle). Thank you for flagging!
These smart vacuums typically have all kinds of RF stuff like wifi and a host of sensors like lidar, IR, and sometimes cameras

Probably closer to a self driving car than a manual vacuum.

As proposed by another HN user, a score system should be added to indicate the confidence the model has about its answers.

When I was a high school student, our physic teacher had put a test system where the student had to choose a confidence score for every answer in a test examination, from 1 to 5.

According to that confidence score, you were awarded or retired a specific number of points for every answer in the test.

For example at confidence '1' you were awarded 1 point if your answer was right and 0 if your answer was wrong.

At confidence '2', you were awarded 2 point if your answer was right and -1 if your answer was wrong.

And so on.

The consequence of this system is you could have above 100% in the test even without answering all question or having some question wrong ; below 0% even with 1 right answer and only 60% if you had all good answers for all questions but played security all along and choose a confidence score of 1 for each question.
this is the exact opposite of the point the comment you replied to is making. Rails is not simple. we are talking about SIMPLE, like CGI. Rails is a classic example of a slow bloated framework.
Github acquisition is a little more than this. There are VSCode and Azure linked to this acquisition, and to spin and link them together. From closely coupled to at least a little far away.

I won’t be surprised if soon you can spin your backend on Azure in 2 clicks from VSCode because your code is on GitHub. Stuff like that. Maybe it won’t be advertise on the GitHub directly. But for sure it will be there available in 2 click on the Azure and VSCode.

Same! I recently acquired a Fractal FM3, the most basic floor version of their Axe FX3, and it won me over very quickly. I’ve been a tube amp purist for many years but this thing sounds so good and simplified my live and recording workflows dramatically. Even without its magically incredible effects, it was amazing, but I was blown away when I started digging deeper.
Which would be Helium (LoRa IoT) or Althea (WiFimesh and 5G cellular) for example.
I hope the convention becomes to also consider ./venv as another default location.

Anyone know of a better blog/reference for why to use C over C++ today? I'm still writing some of my own stuff in C but honestly I think that's inertia. Freestanding C++ with the exceptions turned off would work fine.

Gotcha. I guess I don't understand why you'd expect that behavior to become more common as a result of drug legalization.

All that would still be very illegal (I imagine injecting someone with even a completely safe saline solution without their consent would be considered assault in most jurisdictions). The type of people that are comfortable doing that clearly don't care about the law. I just don't see drugs being illegal as a limiting factor on crimes of that nature in today's society.

I'd also like to mention that a major source of funding for many criminal gangs is the black market sale of drugs. If we legalized and regulated drugs, they'd lose that source of money and I'd personally expect to see a decline in organized crime.
There have been a lot of tests and studies about this in the past and they generally confirm what would be self evident.
If anything I think perhaps reducing the legal age for drinking in the US. Where I’m from getting black out drunk is considered immature and people are expected to grow out of it, but then we start a lot earlier. Plus we learn how to handle alcohol * before we learn how to drive so it’s not considered matcho to drink and drive. I think cigarette companies like the 3 year gap of being able to buy cigarettes but not alcohol.

I’m pretty pro legalization, I think it’s probably best handled at the cultural level, but until society matures there is going to a fair bit of collateral damage and I think we should be honest about that.

* it’s a generalization… obviously it doesn’t work out this way for everyone.
Yeah, it really depends on the exact use case. And the availability of functional consultants with relevant industry expertise. SAP isn't great t project management, even if make-to-order works just fine, but that is still a manufacturing environment. SAP is also somewhat lacking in terms of logistics and warehousing (at least it was last time I checked / worked with SAP in that field 5 or so years ago).

MS Dynamics seems to have some good ideas when it comes to field services (I never worked with that, so). INFOR is rather good when it comes to project management and project driven manufacturing and planning. So, pick your poison, because no system will satisfy all you wishes, but the decent ones will satisfy almost all your needs, one way or another.

One of the big benefits of picking SAP is the huge pool of people with relevant experience, from developers over users (from simple employees over key users to super key users) all the way to those "controversial" consultants. And that across almost all industries, countries, regions and functions.
Are you saying that you think it's currently illegal for rsync to be making this claim?

Or that if they ever receive a gag order then their earlier action was retroactively illegal?

> The clearly correct approach is for the state to continue its current path of overruling local zoning ordinances and to allow increases in density against the will of local homeowners.

That's a very radical statement. In your view, the role of the state is to go against the wishes of people who actually live there? To satify whom? People who are not citizens of the state who might later move in if things change?

What if the state angers the locals to leave and the outsiders who instigated the change decide not to move in after all?

Can you document historical cases of cities and states which thrived on such an approach?

Random advice from the internet.

If you look at business software, think it is crappy, and wonder why people use it; you probably don't understand the business reasons behind the decision.

As the business becomes more niche, the more likely it is that you don't understand.

But the high level bit is always that the software is incidental to the business, not its core. It is a cost center not a source of revenue. Stable cost centers can be plugged into budgets and cash flow analysis.

Which is to say, "your software is old" is not a business case that will drive sales.

Good luck.
This BMW “study” reminds me of the equally laughable Nokia Morph concept from 2008:

Based on this I would say that such “studies” are the sign of a company soon going bust.
True, and it's been elaborated elsewhere that these have already been tested in the supreme court. But you have to admit that without that precedent, it does seem a little bit cheeky - "oh the law says I can't do X, well it doesn't say I can't simply not do inverse(X)" :)
At some point clean code doesn't really exist. I mean, after eliminate this two big cases; a too big function and too deep(inheritance)/wide(composition) indirection. Is pipe only function clean? I don't know, I think it's sometimes.

>>The government saying that something is necessary for national security will be treated as fact by the court, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.

Citation please

>> Speech that isn't expressive in nature has a much lower bar to clear for the government to be able to restrict it. Warrant canaries strike me as essentially commercial speech, which the government has pretty wide latitude to regulate.

This case law around NSL have not been vary favorable for the government, Appeals courts have struck down the gag order provisions of the laws in the place, and are poised to do so again should a case come before them. The current make up the Supreme Court also leads me to believe they would not look favorably on Gag orders, though they would on the larger issue of National Security
Asking questions is the start of the scientific process. If it turns out that vaccines cause undisclosed health problems then wouldn’t you be outraged too?

Let’s see how it unfolds. Most of us can’t do the science ourselves, but we can ask questions and observe.

Conventional wisdom says leg extensions are bad for your knees but I think the science is shaky at best. I used to believe this also until I tore my ACL about 6 months ago (I'm currently 3 months post-reconstruction).

For a long time physical therapists wouldn't recommend knee extensions for ACL reconstruction rehab due to forces through the graft, but that has changed recently. My PT recommends them to me.

Read this: https://theprehabguys.com/is-the-knee-extension-machine-safe...

TLDR:
1.Squats place a similar force through your knee, except the force peaks when your knee is bent rather than when it's straight (as in leg extensions)

2.Leg extensions are the only reliable way to rebuild quad strength post surgery, and quad strength is by far the strongest predictor of reinjury to the ACL.

I believe my lack of quad-specific training contributed to my initial injury. I did tons of squats and deads and my hamstrings/glutes were strong, but I think my quads were behind. I had trouble slowing down from a sprint during soccer/walking down stairs prior to my injury, and I think those were warning signs
> "Proofing the code"? Does that mean anything at all?

Since you're already schooling me on the meaning of terms, you probably have enough experience to have realized that the typical code begins life in a stubbed out form that is barely functional enough to deliver first results. It is then iteratively enhanced and made more widely applicable, more robust, more refined, better specified, more performant, and so on. In the process, the code is undergoing many revisions, and moving data structures from automatic storage (stack) to the heap is very typical.

Another word I'm thinking of for this process is "consolidation", which I have also used. My apologies if I don't speak in your terms / in the most precise terms.

Despite being a fake I think it does present a good area for discussion; as you noted these bullshit hoops only exist to (try) keep mediocrity out -- most people aren't great at writing software so, ultimately, the realization that (fake) Gayle arrives at is probably quite common just, obviously, kept on the low.

tl;dr there's enough abstraction now that as long as you can attend standups you'll pay the bills who cares if you're not T.A. Davis? Not like the company you're applying to is any better!
This will take a while; I think I'll limit it to top 10 by population. Using lower chamber where bicameral, regional parties and unaffiliated have not been counted (but so far have not been numerous). I take "english-country-name parliament" and the first wikipedia page that comes up in a google search, and attempt to characterise (where not available from WP) as left, centre-left, centre, centre-right, right, regional or unaffiliated depending upon keywords when clicking through to each party's english-language wikipedia page.

Note how many governments are centrist coalitions, containing both centre-left and centre-right parties, and having both wings in opposition.

That doesn't make any sense. They just sit in the outside of your ear. Nowhere near where earwax is produced.

There are other brands of in-ear headphones that you jam into your ear canal more like earplugs. Possibly those could have an effect. But AirPods Pro are nothing like that.
They are bad, and the crowd is dismissive.

I work in this industry, though I work almost exclusively with non SAP related stuff.

On one hand, the problems being solved are complicated and for some products, there are decades of embedded domain knowledge, and they have a lot of products, and can basically do anything any kind of business needs to be able to do, and integrate it somehow with other parts of the system.

On the other hand... large parts of it are absolutely horribly engineered. ABAP is a programming language that makes me recoil in disgust. What it is is the result of polishing the same turd for several decades, seemingly without one person or group ever trying to think about the direction or bigger picture for the whole stack(which is just impossibly large at this point, and like a tentacle monster from another dimension).

It does work, but mostly because people have been hammering out the kinks for thousands of person-years. As for the things said about the consulting industry.. they are definitely true.

>"Captain ..."

Did I hurt your feelings sailor? I see no contradiction in my statements if you bother to actually read. I said "Until there is assured punishment". We know this is not happening. I do not see it as advocating world government. It simple means if one does not suffer the consequences of their action the one would simply degenerate into doing what they feel like.

Also I am not "standard anti US". The US is my neighbor (I am in Canada), I've visited it many times and admire many things. However their governments do commit major crimes and I am absolutely not fond of this part.
The amphetamines are all similarly addictive, it's just that methamphetamine is more active at smaller doses. This general class of drugs is widely prescribed to children and adults to treat ADHD in the United States (many argue over-prescribed).

People who use amphetamines 'recreationally' seem to mix it with alcohol, with very bad long-term effects on health. It also seems to drive people towards reckless and poorly-considered behavior, which is similar to the effect cocaine has on many people.

It's a wise life decision to not associate with cocaine and amphetamine addicts, certainly. However it is also curious that people in treatment for ADHD also develop a dependency on the drug, although perhaps in a more controlled manner due to it being prescribed, yet few people in the medical-pharmacological world seem to be that concerned about it.
This smells like large breweries asking their financial journalist friends to start pushing back on small breweries eating into their margins. Dedicating an article to “are too many small breweries are a problem?” is a bit too convenient of a slant when other options are on the table. “Stop creating breweries, it’s too risky. Drink InBev” essentially.
And every industry where you can cite zero regulation I can tell you the industry killed lots of people or destroyed ecosystems.

Unregulated industries have LOTS of leeway to prioritize profits over their environment. Case in point: look up the article yesterday about Salt Lake being drained for agriculture, risking millions of homes' access to drinking water.
My understanding is that a 2005 or earlier (pre-Dame Edna) 9-5 still had oversight from the Swedish engineering and manufacturing team. For example, an austere Saab dashboard rather than a blingy Buick one. Not sure when that switch happened for the 9-3, but it would have been for whatever facelift happened around the same time.

2003 Aero is the sweet spot. GM sales “engineers” tried selling with all-options-standard that year, so they are all very well equipped. Any still running had the sump issue fixed long ago. Hard to imagine you couldn’t get a fettisdagsbulle for $5k.
All those cables are a hassle and the electronics are a bit like cheating (edit: for lack of a better word). I want an instrument with the effects built-in, physically, mechanically. Unfortunately, it seems to be sort of a lost artform.
Debugging works extremely well during an interview because:

1. Your evaluation can be interactive: you're watching them step through, can stop and ask questions about their thought process, etc. If it's a theoretical problem (ie: not on a live computer) you can even re-calibrate on-the-fly if they're really quick (maybe a lucky guess) at narrowing down the issue, or just asking "what if this happened instead, what would you do?"

2. Grading the candidate is subjective, just like the rest of the interview process.

The OP was talking in the context of college-style evaluation. I don't think you can apply either of these things to grading someone in a course. (1) doesn't scale, and (2) isn't a fair (or unbiased) way to evaluate students.
