Using the examples, it's quite good.

It is actually referencing the websites where its getting its information from throughout the result.

Which is great!

the docker docs are actually pretty good.

general intro https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/

step by step tutorial https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/

^ takes you through a 3 server setup and deploying services via the CLI rather than a docker "stack" file, which is basically a compose file with the ability to set additional deployment specific properties.

just set up the one manager and skip anything about additional worker nodes or draining nodes.

for docker stack files -- see the docker compose v3 reference but take heed of any `docker stack deploy` caveats in the compose documentation. anything about docker stack deploy` is "stack file" territory.

https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3...

compose file v3 is being depreciated this year, with a new specification aiming to unify the two. but it gives you an idea of the historical differences between old `docker-compose up` and `docker stack deploy` (swarm).
Note that while electron is pretty bad in that regard, it’s just that way because the entire chromium runtime ships with it. A leaner alternative could exist

I think they mean market share for all desktop/laptops and not just Macs. https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/worl...
We saw the same pattern 20+ years ago. Office suites won out over individual products even if some word processor was arguably better.
I don’t really understand this line of reasoning.

>In the Bing demo, they asked for the best gaming TV and boom, there was the gaming TV I just bought after doing the research myself the long way. No clicks, no revenue.

In this example “no clicks, no revenue” applies more to Google than it does Bing. Bing maybe didn’t make any money off that particular search but they did demonstrate that they have a better product, increasing the chances that someone will use Bing instead of Google.

Bing didn’t get the click revenue, but Google didn’t even get the search in the first place.

The way forward for Google is to… continue to maximize dollars per click? The exact same behavior that’s made their search laughably bad for many people?
Damn. Now I feel bad for our teachers since the empire starts with them and they get jack shit in return.
Well then any kind of trade is adversarial as it's beneficial to defraud your trade partners.

> Yeah, it's an "M0" role.

Not true, TLMs can be D1+ level too at FB/Meta. Higher level TLMs more often than not tend to occur in more research-oriented organizations though (where the TLM is effectively a "principal investigator" type for some research area).
> Could you just, stop styling shit and let your application look like the rest of the damned computer does?

Nope. I'm not making a word processor. I was trying to match the application look and feel to the product and to other applications for that product.

It might suck to you but having a graphical application look like Notepad is not what anyone wants.
It's way too early to call it a bubble. It's coming but it's too early now.
> Whatever you do, it will never be enough.

To be fair, it's only a pair of random internet forum posters who are complaining that this is not enough. There are plenty of people in this discussion arguing otherwise.
The x220 battery definitely works with the x230 but requires the DRM patch. I'm running an x230 mainboard in what is otherwise an x220. It's an EC not BIOS path so should work with coreboot. Files at https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec

While swapping cells, just be careful to match voltage and severely limit current to avoid any danger/excitement. Sure you can find some forum posts on this. Also, the new and old cells must be brought very close in voltage as discrepancies are flagged disabling the battery. This also goes for between cells but allowable differences are larger. I think this battery has 3s3p configuration.

I've bought quality 18650 cells online 10 for about $100CAD for a x220 battery rebuild. More recently got 2x 2Ah 18v Ryobi packs which yeilded 10x cells total for $29CAD on clearance at Home Depot....
It's cost-prohibitive to start a new business in those fields due to large-scale regulatory capture and capital barriers. How many new car companies have been successful in the past decade without the personal fortune of a multi-billionaire?

The existentence of one or two enormous hidebound sequoias in a forest is not a good indication of its overall health.
I have occasionally needed to advise mobile users how to use a simple web app showing phone's location on a map. Sample size is at least tens of people, selection bias to somewhat young and active people. Based on this "research",for a median iPhone user a location-aware web app is simply broken. Without external help, they are unable to change the (default/dark pattern, I do not know?) setting of not letting browser access to location data. You are welcome to come up with reasons why Apple has made it so difficult. I have difficulties to think other than intentionally crippling web apps.
> Anyone with gluten intolerance would have had very severe symptoms with no chance of recovery.

Exactly, anyone born with such intolerances likely didn't survive the early childhood, and anyone developing them later in life were probably not attributed to the gluten themselves. Anyone that made the connection between wheat-based products and their problems would also find themselves lacking nutrition most likely, which also leads to a whole host of problems.

What I'm saying is that we likely can never be sure what the 'baseline' prevalence was because the records do not have enough details to make that distinction. We can only really determine if its recently increasing. It may very well have also been a problem in past history too, but wasn't noticed as one, or was attributed to other causes.
> $10.4 million to address roadway departure crashes along approximately 50 miles of roadway through shoulder widening, rumble strips and other low-cost treatments.

They including a road widening as 'street safety'. Very generous interpretation of the term.

If they did that, Safari market share would increase 0.01% percent or something.

When it was available for Windows, nobody used it, except web developers who wanted their website to work on Macs, but didn't have a Mac to test with.

> Falling on your sword is literally exactly what accountability used to be.

I wonder if you hold this level of rigour towards your own failings and shortcomings, or if this desire is directed exclusively at everyone besides yourself.
depending on the scale of what you want to do, you might not need to have a lot of capital to get some online service up and running. however, you might find it difficult to have access to the same advertisement resources, you can be cloned right away, you can be blackmail-bought, you may find limitations put in place by hardware makers or by the ecosystem owners and you might have to share your revenues with those guys.
so, although you can start with nothing, others start with a lot more - and capital reproduction and primitive accumulation keeps happening, whether you like it or not.
We've actually reached the tech singularity:

- ux is perfect,

- usability is perfect,

- structure is perfect,

- performance is amazing,

- legal compliance and regulations are to every human's benefit,

- the devices do everything imaginable, through first-party accessories

- ... well

- ... even for corporate use-cases

- ... dealing with confidential, private, privileged information

- there's a shmorgasbord of perfect nearly-identical services to further support your usage of the device,

- no one is ever failed catastrophically by the software as far as we know,

Welcome to the everything rally, what you have been so graciously given access to in your hand there is all you'll ever need, in perpetuity.
Agreed with this. I have never bought anything from a person who asked us what our budget is.

We had a situation where we were evaluating several crappy providers and a really good one. The really good one's price was "call us for pricing". We just mentally translated to say "basically all the money we have" and went with a crappy provider.
Someone responded that Google is terrified of being left being Microsoft. I think that's hilarious because it highlights the thing google should actually be terrified of - the fact that it has lost the capacity to innovate (same applies to MS, FB, etc).
This is an interesting article. I hope that the capital class will realize that this article is basically a summary of what tech workers at big companies have already been doing over the last 5 years or so.
Good developers who are passionate about their work have been getting absolutely crushed in this environment of "Don't try to clear technical debt. Don't hire good candidates who may replace you. Don't help train your co-workers, etc..."
It's been impossible for me to get a job at Big Tech over the last 5 years for these very reasons.
I think Capital should be respected. That said, over a decade of 0-percent interest monetary policy have really made a mess of things and made it very difficult to respect capital.
The bad actors have already cashed out, bought assets and tarnished the image of capitalism.
Sure, but the point is that you have to fight now. Personally, I think a union would be a GREAT move, and I'm surprised he didn't stress that more.
I’m sorry to say that I have no idea what you’re referring to… Are there some books I should read?
Some recent studies suggest that even HPV-infected individuals benefit from the HPV vaccine, decreasing the likelihood of symptomatic illness. The age of eligibility in many countries has been raised to 45. Here in Canada I know it is being given to particularly high risk individuals with boosters in some clinics.

But it's expensive. And only covered for teenagers and young adults here, otherwise about $400.
"Then I'm honestly confused why you're posting on this article"

Because I want to. I mentioned nothing about college in the original comment that you replied to. I pattern matched :) Judging by the number of responses to my post, other people wanted to discuss it from my perspective as well. Thats one of the nice things about HN, the open, unrestricted flow of conversation

I know that gays are ok. I have absolutely nothing against gay people and am very pro gay marriage. I just dont think its an appropriate topic for elementary school. I very much do have an issue with transexuality being pushed as an option in schools though and I think that its dangerous and results in kids being confused and mistakenly thinking they may be trans. I feel for trans people and wish them nothing but happiness. I just dont want anyone telling my kids its an option as its a much harder life.

"Not gonna lie, I see this a lot and "my HR training was dumb as shit" is a weird basis for political ideology"

I think it goes a little deeper than that and I think you are intentionally downplaying it. Work is one of the cornerstones of most peoples lives. Many people spend more time there than with their kids. If they work in a place where they are told they are the problem thats going to lead to some issues.
Was just about to say this. This act of "withholding" just gets you demoted or pipped or relegated stagnant perf categories. Why do you think "leadership" principles exist? Not to make you a better leader, but to make you hot-swappable".
The explanation is in the original article (not Gamespot):

> The hefty pay hike comes amid calls by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for Japanese companies to pay workers more as inflation takes hold in an economy used to years of deflation and stagnant wages, and as Japan prepares for its annual spring round of labour negotiations.

> "It's important for our long-term growth to secure our workforce," Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa told an earnings briefing.

> For companies that can afford to do so, higher salaries may also help them attract talent as a falling birth rate and low immigration leave Japan with serious labour shortages.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/nintendo-trims-annual-pro...

Basically, hiring is harder in Japan, companies are adjusting in order to attract talent. In the US, companies made the mistake of hiring too much, and doesn't suffer from the same problem, so different solution needed.
> In this case they're realizing that NULL makes optimization difficult

How so? Null checks are mostly “free” on the JVM, they trap on the zero page and get converted to an exception via a signal handler.
That definitely doesn't explain the difference for me, since in my current position I hardly write any code but I use VSCode constantly for editing plain text and I still see it go resource-nuts once a week. I assume that it has something to do with the fact that opening vscode to edit a single file results in a dozen processes with varying "-type=" arguments. I currently see --type=gpu-process, --type=renderer (x2), --type=zygote (x2), --type=ptyHost, --type=searchService, --type=watcherService, --type=extensionHost, --type=utility, and two processes without a --type argument. Eventually one or more of these processes will go nuts and start chewing CPU endlessly, it'll all go unresponsive, and I'll notice that my memory usage is pegged, then I'll restart the whole lot and everything will be better.
Don't managers have enough work on their plate already? Looking at my past and current worplaces (granted, none of them are Meta), I can't imagine juggling individual contributions and managerial responsibilities.

Personally, I think a manager's job (in a healthy organization) is important enough to let them of the hook in terms of individual contributions.
> I'm not sure how you think S-expressions are any more optimized for expressions than, for example, infix notation.

They aren't. But they are optimized to represent expressions as simple data: nested lists. One could write infix expressions as a data structure:

(a + b * (c + d) * 3)

READ converts it into a list. For that one could write a simple evaluator, a simplifier, or other tools based on simple list processing.

> Really I can only identify one feature which falls out of S-expressions, which can't be obtained with other syntaxes: macros.

Macros are one application of processing of s-expressions. The more general feature is representing any type of code as nested lists -> symbolic expressions. They are a compromise between a human-readable, textual & internal data format and machine processable code. Lisp code is just one application of that. It could be Prolog code, expressions of a theorem prover, or anything else which sports a custom processing engine and a lean way to input/process/output code as data.

Actually macros can be obtained with other syntaxes. The Lisp way to represent code externally and internally as s-expressions is just one way. It's relatively simple and primitive. A simple interpreter for Lisp code can be written in a page of Lisp -> processing engines can also be very simple. The input and output of code then already provided by the reader and printer of s-expressions.

Thus one can use s-expressions to design notations that are BOTH trivially a data structure with a textual representation AND processable with a simple predefined 'list processor' (aka Lisp) or any other custom "list processor".

Looking at the textual representation in isolation is missing the bigger picture: it's the simple textual representation of lists AND a simple "list processor".
> I've alway felt "billion dollar mistake" is unreasonably hyperbolic.

I guess you can take that up with Turning Award winner C. A. R. Hoare FRS FREng. I'm going to go ahead and keep citing it despite being a epic underestimate.

It was, just not to the hackers that invented the languages plagued by these mistakes.
While I'm happy for OP I'm afraid finding a "paradise" and telling the internet about it has the risk of ruining it. If 10k people read the article and 1% go to the same place and blog about it and bring even more people, then sooner or later it will be ruined and chances are localities will ban such adventures.

I've done something similar.. some years ago there was a casino I would go to where you would pay 10$ entry fee and have access to a buffet, for the whole day. They had great food too. So I told an uber driver this "hack" and less than 6 months later they started checking whether you were playing or not, you needed a special ticket to access the buffet. Now I have no idea if me not shutting up about it has caused it to be closed off but there's certainly a chance.
I don't know why this point is important to you, but in english, "just use a" and and "use just a" have significantly different meanings.
Did they give any stats on the percentage of pedestrian accidents where visibility was a factor? It doesn't seem like it would be a major factor if the driver is paying attention to objects entering and leaving their blind spots, as well as the increasing use of cameras, collision detection, etc.

It seems the biggest factor is alcohol, which played a role in around 50% of pedestrian fatalities (not all on the part of the driver).

Hacker News is so full of corporate shills it is laughable.

The guy is making a point here.

Do not add to your employer's assets unless you are expressly instructed to.

Quite simply, don't write any software to improve your employer's operations unless you are instructed by your boss to do so. Don't use your own initiative to do something unless it is acknowledged and approved by your superiors.

Factory workers don't go about fixing broken equipment on the assembly line. The equipment manufacturer's service employees are the ones who do it. Trust me, those guys won't touch any piece of equipment until they are instructed to do so in writing from the customer or from their managers.

Software and engineering guys are only to happy to write stuff for their employees and even sign agreements not to develop their own software even when it isn't done on company time.

"a United States U-2 spy plane was *shot down* by the Soviet Air Defence Forces"

I have zero idea why people are defending China, while the USA gets their aircraft shot down. Each country has sovereignty over their own airspace.

And China is all weird about not wanting ships in the South China Sea despite it being ruled international waters.

Why are you giving China a pass and holding the USA to different rules?

It runs great on FreeBSD, it's my daily driver. Wayland is not needed (and currently not working on FreeBSD with KDE anyway), but D-Bus unfortunately is. Sound you can do without of course if you don't need it.
At least in Finland, home ownership seems to be common among the people in their 30s and 40s I know, regardless of what they studied or didn't. The most common reasons for renting appear to be being single and relocating often for work. Typical mortgage duration is 20-25 years, which means that if you are in your 30s or 40s, you are probably about halfway through. At least if you didn't switch to a bigger home recently.

Their biggest miss was not hitting the fuel dumps and repair facilities. Taking out a few ships, even carriers, would be easy to replace. Wiping out the logistics support capability would mean that ships would have to return to the US west coast to refuel/repair.

That would have been a major disaster. Pearl Harbor was just an irritant and catalyst.

What counts as “plagiarism” depends on the context. It is (in most cases) unethical to present the work of another human being as your own, but what about an AI? In an educational setting, it would be unethical to turn in an AI’s work as your own. But if a professional programmer uses GitHub Copilot, are they obliged to acknowledge Copilot’s contribution? If I have a personal blog, and ChatGPT helps me write a post, am I obliged to acknowledge ChatGPT’s contribution?
The detergent residue they are talking about there isn't the detergent from washing, it is the rinse aid. Rinse aids are detergents that cut surface tension to let the water bead off faster.

They found nothing wrong with washing with detergent, just using rinse aid to dry in a commercial setting due to the detergent residue the rinse aid could leave.
> There are several chromium forks that do more than just "cosmetically reskin" the browser and they definitely don't have teams as big as Google's.

Very few of the changes in even the most diverged of Chromium forks change anything significant about Blink, which is really what matters. The bulk of differences are tied up in the bits wrapping the engine.

If forks don't keep up with Google's changes they're putting their users at risk of getting hit by 0days and other vulnerabilities.

The built environment can make a huge difference to how dangerous drivers are. Slip lanes that allow right-turns without slowing down could be eliminated, thus reducing or slowing many vehicle/pedestrian crashes. Right-turn-on-red could be eliminated. More speed bumps or other traffic calming measures, separated bike lanes, bike-priority streets - all these things can help to make pedestrians and cyclists less likely to be killed by drivers making bad decisions.

Education and testing alone won't stop drivers from making mistakes. I would love to see more enforcement however.
