I have seen this repeatedly over the years. It's frustrated me personally many times.

However, just to offer a counterpoint, one thing I have seen time and time again from highly-motivated technical people is that they place the new and exciting technologies above the actual business needs. There is an inherent risk in using cutting-edge tools and technologies, and if the business is working well with the current stuff, why take a risk you don't have to?

Of course, the other end of the spectrum is only using completely obsolescent tools, and that can be a problem in and of itself as well, because it also brings risks with it.

I have, unfortunately, been on teams where these people got their way and it led to very expensive project failures because when reality came to bite, they couldn't deliver. The new stuff couldn't meet the requirements. Using existing technologies which were known quantities would have avoided that risk entirely, even if it wouldn't have been as fulfilling for them personally. The company isn't run for individuals' personal amusement and tech fetishes, and sadly when that takes priority over all else, it can lead to failure on colossal scale.

I still try out new stuff, but I don't propose we use it for serious business-related activities until it's been fully proven out.

> Anyway, the meme that boys at the time commonly viewed Lara Croft as "sex object" is absurd. We did not.

You may not have, but everyone else did. Designer Toby Gard literally designed her to appeal sexually to male gamers in order to offset the fear that they otherwise wouldn't want to play a female main character. Early Lara Croft had ridiculous proportions. Her outfit is a t-shirt and booty shorts, for goodness' sake. Gamers of the time were obsessed with the idea of a "Nude Raider" cheat.

https://gaming-urban-legends.fandom.com/wiki/Nude_Raider

"Ever since Tomb Raider's release, its heroine, Lara Croft, has been seen as a major sex symbol in the video game industry, and that has been a large focus of the franchise's marketing."
We do this at work, albeit much larger scale than this and I'm the only one who spends any time on upgrades, replacing failed disks and so on. Honestly, apart from upgrades every 3-ish months I don't spend any time at all on this, it's all chugging along without intervention.

Things don't fail as much as they used to, at least not from using something mature as minio and of course hardware can fail as they do specifically spinning rust, which is non trivial to replace if you have hot-swap capable servers in the first place.

I don't possess any decade worth expertise in either minio or running this kind of setup so personally I believe you are exaggerating that this is even worth calling challenge at all.

But that's just my take :)

> It was a fast, dynamically changing situation, everyone was getting sick...

I think one could say a lot of the reaction of governments around the world was knee-jerk, "let's copy what that other government is doing" kind of thinking. Not that this is specific to the CoVid situation, there's plenty of it going on at any given moment.
And the cycle continued in the 2014 remake of Tomb Raider, which was heavily inspired by the Uncharted games. Which was heavily inspired by the original Tomb Raider games.
> It keeps the logs cleaner.

I move my port somewhere else to reduce the clutter

> manually look at the logs every once in a while

I imagine that this is more by curiosity than anything else (which is a perfectly normal reason to do that - I do it from time to time just because). For logs analysis and alerting I have automated systems.

> using password auth is a bad idea

It is not if the password is correct, security speaking.
Another example is that the crimes for which various Nazis were tried were not codified to be crimes in any legal document at the tim. Bombing civilians etc was not, as such, banned by any international law, nor were genocide, concentration camps etc, and indeed the Allies did at times similar things themselves.

So although the Nuremberg trials were fashioned as a court of law and followed legal-esque principles, there was no written law or could follow; it simply didn't exist.

Hence, the tribunal was considered by some lawyers to be a mockery of court. The verdicts were effectively known ahead of time and no laws could really be cited, no legal process to follow.

That said, I'm not sure what would be a better alternative.

“Democratic counties”, right? I understand that it’s a common epithet used to deride an opposing party; but if one wishes to remain apolitical isn’t it better to apply the neutrality of using the party’s actual name and conventions of capitalization?
> That would incur a fixed cost of around $32k for the migration

The EU needs to get onto banning/reducing lock in like this by making migration expensive. All the cloud providers clearly have pricing models to try to lock customers from moving elsewhere.
DNSSEC proves nothing about correctness, it just helps show that a record was published by someone with access to the private key pointed to in the DS record.

So a lot of companies have “hiring committee” (incl google) that are required to approve a person write the job offer. The interviewers rate the candidates, and offer notes/transcripts, but don’t have the final say. The HC meets periodically, so there’s a delay between interview and offer letter.

What probably happened was that the recruiter looked at your profile, read the comments, and expected you to pass the HC (and told you the next day)… but you didn’t in the end.

Now last year Google implemented a hiring freeze, so you could have fell into that. I would believe that for easier-to-fill roles, during the hiring freeze they suddenly had a glut of candidates who “passed” with no job to give them, so the suddenly “failed” and we’re sent away.

We don't know in the sense that we can't know anything for sure that is not the fruit of a controlled experience but we are very confident in the fact that it was all about a rich childish prick who cannot accept defeat or being denied something he wants and making sure to fleece his supporters one last time. There was no evidence of any real fraud. If there's no evidence it's either a conspiracy to hide it, or that there was no such thing.
Thing is, conspiracies are hard to pull off and we end up knowing about them (and nobody really cares and we forget about them, they're called "scandals")

> In HTTP, the GET method is used to mean "retrieve whatever
information (in the form of an entity) identified by the Request-
URI." If the Request-URI refers to a data-producing process, it is
the produced data which shall be returned as the entity in the
response and not the source text of the process, unless that text
happens to be the output of the process.

This sentence reminds me of quine computer programs.

> A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)

There was a post about one particular quine the other day on the front page of HN.

But the text about HTTP and process output got me thinking, I am wondering if anyone has written a quine HTTP server.

A web server that would respond to HTTP GET requests with a valid HTTP response containing its own source. Without cheating.

I found one that is close to that, but which does not exactly do that: http://michaelwehar.com/quines/c_prints_javascript.html
I tend to take four weeks in the summer, one week in fall, and one in winter. So six weeks a year in total. I live in Europe.
It varies. I don't really keep count of it. Usually a couple of vacations a year, plus whatever sick days I really don't feel like working, and the occasional long weekend. Also it's not unusual to start late or knock off early if not productive. Why waste time writing bugs I'll just have to waste time reverting tomorrow?

Most people in my company do about the same. Some take more, or structure it more compactly, a couple take less.

As for infrastructure and team leads, that comes down to people and process. With standard processes and checklists that everyone's familiar with (and as much automated as possible), and with people frequently communicating and reviewing and discussing stuff, then if someone's out other people should be able to step in and pick up what they would normally do. And with the right people, they will.
It's a social commentary on how some projects really overdo it with badges.
My philosophy on anything like this, whether it happens to align with my beliefs or not, is that the truth shouldn't fear scrutiny. If a company, government, or person decides to show how right they are by banning dissent then it should be a red flag even if you agree with them on the actual issue. I'm all for self moderation tools so people don't have to see anything they don't want to but I don't need anyone deciding what opinions are 'correct' enough for me to see.
I don't think you understand any of the words you have just written.
One of the early CorticalLabs founders here. This is like dissing AlphaZero because "This is not a new result; computers have been playing chess since the 50s!". We are standing, as always, on the shoulders of giants. Steve Potter is one of our advisors.

We've improved on every axis 10x. We process over 1000 signal channels in real-time and respond with sub-millisecond latency from our simulated environment. We've recorded thousands of hours of play time from mouse and human neurons. We're investigating biological learning with top neuroscientists from around the globe. This is by far the most rigorous, extensive and technologically advanced work on in-vitro learning ever produced.

Our work goes well beyond Hebbian, "fire together, wire together", We have follow up papers in the pipeline that study internal non-linear dynamics and show how whole-network dynamics changes during game play and learning. Being able to observe and measure cognition has huge applications to drug testing and discovery.

For background, frisco (the above commenter) helped start NeuralLink. Consider this, our DishBrain is a completely reproducible, highly controlled test bed for brain computer interfaces. This will massively accelerate neural interface development, all without sacrificing any chimpanzees.

> On the other hand, these cultures have essentially no advantage over digital computers and modern machine learning models

The brain is the single existing example of general intelligence. A human brain can do more computation than our largest super computers with 20W of power (a million times more efficient). Trillions of interacting synaptic circuits, rewiring themselves on the molecular level. Biological learning is the only game in town, honed by a eons of evolution. There are fundamental physical limits to hot slabs of silicon. Do you have a single credible proposal for building such a machine that isn't growing one?

> (I built a shitty counterstrike aimbot using a cultured neural network in college based on their papers.)

Nice humble brag. I trained neural networks from my bedroom in highschool in 2002. There is a long road between a cool university project and building a world class neuroscience R&D company, you know that!

I work at a place that has unlimited PTO. I quite enjoy my job and have a nice amount of balance.

That said, I definitely still have the mindset of "I'll save all of my ammo for the final boss" which is dumb because it's unlimted.

Mostly I just figure I'll think about using it next week and then it gets easy to push back.

I suppose if I hated my job, or it wasn't fulfilling and needed the escape, it would be a different story mind you.

That said, I know there are some supposed to be some studies floating around that people with unlimited PTO tend to take less leave.

Yes they show a characteristic head twitch response under the influence of psychedelics. This is used to test if a new compound is psychedelic in the first place.
Do your number include sick leave? I’d assume that was a different PTO bucket.
so its better to have manual counting that also can be tampered with?
I wonder what would happen if the EU mandated that all cloud providers supported 'cloud porting', where all cloud assets (VM's, IP addresses, S3 buckets) must be portable, for free, to another provider. Parts that cannot be ported (eg. Redirection proxy services) must be run for free.

Phone number portability was done via a similar mandate, and despite industry claiming at first that it wasn't technically possible, it has worked out pretty well.
I think the pattern has a fixed location that is defined by the version. And yeah, that was my understanding as well, you just skip the corresponding bits when doing the "zigzag reading". But I'd also like to see an example, in particular as that would be different from how the other "large" alignment patterns are handled.

FWIW, I upvoted; but I agree this is an ongoing problem on HN and really any place that allows people to downvote based on how they feel.

You can state all the facts you want and some people downvote because they simply didn't like it; others downvote because your replied topic was about a downvote (against policy) and those same problematic people who downvoted may also have multiple accounts and/or be doing this to promote a certain propagandist narrative. There's really no way to combat it or tell given the site design.

Ultimately its a bridge too far and violates free speech by de-amplifying what you said (because it goes invisible once it goes under a certain vote, greyed out at 0, hidden -1, delisted/invisible -2) but that's mainly just my opinion that the vast majority of people (or more accurately bots) here don't hold. Its why I think most current social media should be outlawed (as its currently designed).

It interferes with communications which are an important signal over public discourse for our representatives to take action. They stop being responsive and representing when they can't receive meaning from their constituency because its an intentionally jammed/noisy channel and they so far have failed to take any action to remedy that jamming, which can have grave historical consequences.

When there's no effective representation, the rule of law eventually breaks down.

That's exactly what people say we should do, instead of censoring and deplatforming them. Give them as big a platform as possible to aggressively spread their disinformation without interference, then politely ask for an opportunity to debate. And when they refuse, ignore you, mock you or just smother you in bad faith bullshit, all you can do is shrug and hope for the best.

Note that Russia was accused of influencing elections rather than hacking the voting itself. That is:

- Providing money for campaign

- Using data from Cambridge analítica with target voters.

That said. Voting with paper makes everybody more confident of the result.

At my current job the unlimited PTO has afforded me the ability to take more care of my health compared to previous jobs (with or without unlimited PTO). I’m much more inclined to take sick days and/or mental health days when I need them.

I also have to take a day off almost monthly for medical treatments. At a standard US job, I’d probably end up with 3 days of total annual PTO leftover, and I’d probably have to save the “sick days” (which don’t stick around too easily with my health issues).

At my current job, it only works because they’re not preventing us from taking the time (for now).

For some cultural reason that I'm not qualified to explain, the Spanish literary world is much more stilted than the English one. When I first read the Odyssey about 20 years ago, I found it more pleasant to read in English than in my native Spanish because all Spanish translations were full of intrincate poetic language and obscure words, while English ones where much more down-to-earth.

(Now there is at least one Spanish edition with a plain language translation as well, edited by Blackie Books, which as a layman in these things I have found enjoyable).

By the way, this happens also with original literature (I mean, not translations). I find most Spanish literature rather pedantic, there tends to be a huge focus on form over content, using the richest vocabulary, the longest sentences, the most complex subordinates, the most subtle nuances, spending 4 pages on describing the movement of a leaf with the wind, etc. while in English literature actual stuff happens and is told in a nice but practical way. As a native Spanish speaker, I read much more Anglo-Saxon literature than Hispanic one, although I guess it's all a matter of taste, of course.

(PS, since the post talks about Borges: he's an exception. He sounds like an Anglo-Saxon writer writing in Spanish).
