Because they already have to remember their email address for other things, like to give it to people, to log into LinkedIn, etc.

Now you want to give them another piece of information that they must remember in order to log in?

I think you've hit on the key relevance of path tracing (and similar advances). It's not that it necessarily brings a huge improvement over the current state of the art when comparing a hand-tweaked "Hero Scene." Skilled game artists can already tune such a scene to look amazing anyway. The difference is things like path tracing can offer similar fidelity without specific artist labor.
The Russians didn't want to play 2nd fiddle to the US, and had significant domestic arms production -- a non-trivial amount of industry and GDP -- to look after.

STANAG and interoperability standards meant that the Russian gear would have to change, and the Russian weren't willing to give up the control of their national policy, or put their industry at risk.

It was a non-starter for a lot of reasons.
Unpluq Review: Reduce Your Screen Time with This App (2023)
A genuine Q: if the LLM was from a purely non-profit company that gave out their AI for free, would you mind your code being used? Would you in fact be proud that it has made a useful contribution? Assuming that the outcome does not affect your income.
I disagree. Replace 'smart home' with 'automated home' and then compare to the mature 'automated industry'. You can have a small basket of protocols, hardware vendors and strategies which all do roughly the same thing. You pick a set which meets your budget and complexity requirements, install, tune and go. You've got some baseline 'standards' for control voltages, sensor types etc. and some real STANDARDS for safety, wiring and so on but everyone still has their proprietary sauce and attempts to keep people in their ecosystem. It makes money and gets things done anyway.

You know what makes industrial automation a pain in the ass in mid-sized businesses? People wanting the benefits of automation without the burden of fully quantifying the process to be automated.

This is the problem with 'automation' in the home. You need someone who can quantify the 'home process' and figure out what routines can be delegated to the automation in order to provide a tangible benefit. Some changes may need to made to human behavior for the automation to be beneficial. Which changes are acceptable, which not etc. This is hard enough to do in industry and expecting it in every home seems... optimistic. Until this gets sorted out, I don't expect to see anything other than the continuation of the 1950's 'labor saving appliance' revolution coupled with invasive home entertainment systems and the next wave of 'clap on, clap off' lights.

Estimating excess mortality due to the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic analysis of COVID-19-related mortality, 2020–21 - https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(21)02796-3/full...

> The table provides summary statistics for each country and territory, including reported deaths due to COVID-19, estimated excess deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ratio of the two, and reported and excess all-age COVID-19 mortality rates. The magnitude of the excess mortality burden has varied substantially between countries. The highest estimated excess mortality rate due to COVID-19 was 734·9 deaths (95% UI 594·1–879·2) per 100 000 of the population in Bolivia (compared with the global rate of 120·3 [113·1–129·3]), whereas negative excess mortality rates were estimated in Iceland, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, and Taiwan (province of China), representing a large range. Excess mortality rates exceeded 300 deaths per 100 000 in 21 countries. At the regional level, the highest estimated excess mortality rates were in Andean Latin America, eastern Europe, central Europe, southern sub-Saharan Africa, and central Latin America, with several locations outside these regions having similarly high rates, particularly Lebanon, Armenia, Tunisia, Libya, several regions in Italy, and several states in southern USA (figure 2, table). Rates varied substantially in western Europe; some countries had rates nearly as high as the locations listed previously, while others, such as Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and Cyprus, had some of the lowest rates in the world, at less than 50 deaths per 100 000. Mortality rates varied across north Africa and the Middle East, with high rates in Lebanon (416·2 deaths [347·4–515·5] per 100 000), Tunisia (324·2 [265·4–376·4] per 100 000), Libya (292·1 [232·2–358·8] per 100 000), and Iraq (280·1 [216·7–362·5] per 100 000). Low excess mortality rates were estimated across sub-Saharan Africa, with the notable exception of four nations in southern sub-Saharan Africa: Eswatini (634·9 [491·8–775·4] per 100 000), Lesotho (562·9 [460·8–691·4] per 100 000), Botswana (399·5 [329·1–482·1] per 100 000), and Namibia (395·6 [340·2–448·8] per 100 000). In south Asia, some states in India had excess mortality rates due to COVID-19 similar to those of some high-income countries in the northern hemisphere.

> In terms of cumulative number of excess deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic from Jan 1, 2020, to Dec 31, 2021, the highest numbers of deaths were estimated in India (4·07 million [95% UI 3·71–4·36]) and the USA (1·13 million [1·08–1·18];

On average, about 3 million people die each year. In 2019, there were 2,854,838 deaths. 2020 had 3,383,729 and 2021 had 3,464,231 deaths. I would be very concerned with the proposal that we need 12x the rate before curtailing various activities in daily life especially considering that increase was with mitigating efforts in place.

But regular people don't own any copyrights worth mentioning. Sure, there are people who have built their livelyhoods on copyright and they will of course try to extend the benefit as much as possible - after all, the benefit is a lot more visible and direct than the costs. These are the authors in your example. But the vast majority of people are not authors. They are not musicians. They are not artists. 99% of people do no create any "IP" worth anything outside of their workplace. So maybe your example is more than anything a reminder that twitter polls are not representative of the population at large.
Your idea assumes the state will run it as efficiently as private businesses would. That sounds nice in theory but in the vast majority of cases isn't the reality of it.

This might sound like an ad, but the textured sheet (https://www.prusa3d.com/product/double-sided-textured-pei-po...) is somehow a miracle when it comes to printing PETG. I can't get PETG to work on a smooth bed either, but with the textured sheet, it works every time. All it takes is to keep the bed clean with an alcohol wipe, and warm it up to ~85 C during the print. Not only does it hold very well during printing, it practically slides right off the bed when the print is finished and the bed cools down.

PETG does tend to curl and stick to the nozzle, that's true. I find the main culprit is if it oozes while the printer is warming up. While I'm waiting for the printer to reach temperature and the print to start, I make sure to remove any filament that might be dribbling out the nozzle using pliers or a wire brush until either the print starts or the nozzle pressure decreases enough for the oozing to stop. As long as the nozzle is clean when the print starts, it shouldn't have an opportunity gather up more material during the print. On the other hand, when 3D printing, getting off to an imperfect start will always tend to snowball toward a terrible end.

Good luck!
In addition to what other people said, the arguments under You should consider using this pattern if are all basically "you currently have a shared database and don't feel like splitting it apart."

The only bullet on the list which isn't related to "it currently works this way and you can't change it" is the one that says

> You want to maintain and operate only one database.

Which is frankly a terrible bullet point because the next question is "Why would someone want to do that?"

The whole list is basically just "if you have constraints that make a better design impossible then I guess you can do this"
> While the language is declarative your configuration is scattered...

I think it's worth being more precise here.

With a NixOS system, the configuration and services can all be declared from a single starting point. (Which is a benefit you'd get from NixOS, or maybe Ansible).

With NixOS' modules, the options used to configure services can be set from any nix file, which may be annoying (but IME is more likely to be a help than a hindrance).

The actual configuration files used by running services will be in some not-obvious-to-find directory.

> ...you're ultimately interacting with a a layer on top of what the original package was designed to do. This makes it hard to figure the system out, how to debug, and occasionally support...

Yeah; when something doesn't go well with Nix / NixOS, you may need to understand any/all of what the Nix code is doing, what the package/service you're describing is trying to do, and how it runs in Linux.

The interplay of gravitation and information invariably leads to the black hole information paradox [1]

Which suggests that one way to decide is to take two USB drives, one full of information and the other empty and throw each into a separate black hole of identical mass.

Then wait until both black holes evaporate and check if there is any black hole hair left.

I've worked on a team that had amazing retros: lots of difficult discussions that resulted in change. We also made sure to discuss positive things too to ensure they keep happening. I think a lot of people miss this about retro.

I also worked on a team with terrible retros. The "good" column would always be extremely long and was only full of platitudes, nothing of actual substance that was brought forward into the next week. If anything difficult came up, someone would say, "Ok, let's book a meeting to talk about this later". It was an extreme misunderstanding of the value of retros. Though everyone else seemed to enjoy them so that's arguably valuable? I dunno.

Anyway, yes, lots has been said on this topic in the past. SCRUM is just Agile for stakeholders. There is the whole "SCRUM But" joke but I actually think a bunch of things in SCRUM are valuable BUT if something isn't working out, don't do it! I get the impression that lots of companies just do all the rituals "because SCRUM" and don't actually understand why they are doing them. Case in point, I was at a company that would always spend time story-pointing but no one ever looked at them. Not the teams and not the stakeholders.

> As I mentioned before, sprint planning meetings are unproductive because they lead to “designing by committee” and focus on getting estimations right, which is not only a waste of time, but also impossible to do in a stochastic process such as software development.

This sentence alone reveals an incorrect understanding of scrum.

First, scrum does not "focus on getting estimations right". In fact, if you search through the scrum guide [0], you will not find any mention of estimates whatsoever.

Second, the purpose of a planning meeting is to identify what next to work on in order to add the most value to the product. Therefore, the meeting involves the product owner, who has the clearest understanding of the business value of the product at any given point, and the developers, who have the clearest understanding of what's going underneath the hood of the product. Their conversation informs both the developers of what's most valuable, and the product owner of what's doable.

Third, in the planning meeting developers, who are actually going to be doing the work, have an opportunity to decide how they are going to split the work, how they are going to collaborate on it, and whether there are any unsolved dependencies preventing them from taking the work into the next iteration.

How this can be dismissed as a waste of time is beyond me.

yeah, I always DCA into a bunch of ETF's but this was the first month i ever 'picked my stocks'. Most mining companys are in distressed range because alot of metals and materials are at all time lows. They also have great P/E ratios because of the slump.

For instance, Albemarle has a revenue jump of 119% YOY% with a 33% Profit margin. but it's trading four time book value. That's insane to me. It has tech company growth, but since the price of lith is at all time lows investors are scared. Even with lith at this price, they are making a huge margin and are scaling up production. But if you beleive Lith will be in short supply in the future, it's a great opportunity.

>the vast majority of the information — and lessons — learned in the last 500 years has been forgotten because it's not free and easy to access.

I guess I don't really agree with that. Yes, a lot of very detailed information (and primary sources) about things is in research libraries, at least some of which are not open to the general public. But that doesn't mean all that information is lost. A lot of historical information is accessible to the (admittedly relatively small percentage of) people willing to put the effort into digging it up.
Any preferred data sources you have for these analysis?

And your position is fallacious, since you presume that the reputation of a source correlates to a greater likelihood of truth.

That's a classic fallacy: appeal to/argument from authority. It's especially problematic, since who/what one presumes to be 'reputable', other people may not agree with.

Moreover the opinion of a majority of 'reputable' sources, agreeing to something, does not make it true. Reportage and stories are to be considered chiefly on the basis of what is reported and the likelihood of it being true, and should not be so staked on the reputation of the person/entity reporting it.

Edit to add:

I am well aware commenting on site design is discouraged on HN, but many of us do generate web sites of one sort or another (from blogs to customer-facing SaaS or ecommerce to corporate sites) so I felt that mentioning this egregious example is germane.

This scolly-barrier reminds me of 1990s sites that began with a splash screen that needed to be clicked through to get to the first page of the site. People would even complain about visitors using "deep links" (i.e. links) that meant they didn't get to see the splash page each time.

Funny that when you get to amazon or google or in fact most sites who actually want you to use them you immediately get something related to site use: a search bar, some content related to your past visits or something explanatory.

The approach this site took I consider as self-indulgent as a splash page, hence my calling it out.
> it would shock me if Vietnam was a leader in this space

Don't be too shocked. Vietnam is little China in the region. People are still ok with it because Vietnam has been seeing tremendous growth in the last couple of decades… sounds familiar? Lots of tech companies are also setting up shop there… it's a 100% dejavu. I just hope it won't suffer the same fate in 20 years.
> Shared data structures? Common library? Services have an API. If you are sharing data structures and a common "core" library across services, yes, you are officially doing it wrong. From the architecture diagram it also looks like there's only one MongoDB instance, which, if you have multiple services talking to the same database[0], is also a major sign that you're doing it wrong.

Yes, and that API has types, e.g. protocol buffers. And also, sometimes you just want to change the API, and you want to make that as easy as possible.
