Once long ago I worked in an office whose IT department requested everyone log out of their computers before they left for the evening so an admin bot could login remotely, run various maintenance scripts, then reboot the machine. Regardless of the real necessity for it, it did force me to adopt the habit of reaching stopping points with all my tasks by the end of the work day. I grew to appreciate it; often it made me monotask (better quality of work) so I could hand something off to someone else. It became something of a lifestyle choice- though I do violate it out of necessity.

Anyway, it's not a bad habit to adopt, and if you don't have the same time constraints of an 8-5 you could certainly establish this limit for yourself. When you reach the appointed time, tie up all your loose ends for the day and logoff. The next day (or at the appointed time), login and get the fresh promise of a blank slate every time.

Metformin doesn't have any "magical" anti-aging properties. It is effective for treating certain metabolic conditions such as type-2 diabetes but it has never been proven to extend lifespan in otherwise healthy humans (or any other higher primate). There are some significant negative side effects.

At least for the urban school district I went to - of which many school districts are similar (although less represented among the HN crowd), I think your comment is totally off base. There is no chance of learning what to do in these schools during the 'onboarding' process.
If you search around a bit the data can still be found. I don't know about the legal part of this so I'm not going to post any links.
No, and while there is a capability to hot reload releases (so that you could preserve state while deploying an update, for example), in practice almost no uses it because it is complicated.

In practice, if you care about this aspect of user experience you may have to take some reasonably small steps to preserve state information in the client. Form state gets preserved automatically for most purposes, though there may be some forms that need to implement a call-back to preserve state, as explained in the docs: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/form-bindings.html#reco...
Hey, Giskard team member here! I am around to discuss and read your feedback.

I’ve worked in particular on automatic scanning of ML models for bugs and problems, the idea was to systematically scan for general issues and automatically find segments of data on which the model performs worse than average. If you have questions, I am happy to discuss here.

Text quality in reddit is awful. Especially comments
. Forget using it for any semblance of actual grammatic correctness.

Probably can be used, after heavy cleaning and curation.
Yeah I don't mean to say that it's all hopeless or something. More that there are forces that build up and forces that tear down and they are all kind of part of the same thing. All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
burying is absolutely a solution, especially when nuclear fuel is so dense you can store all the waste of humanity's power needs in a relatively small area

Right, but this is art someone is paying to store at a warehouse so they see it as an investment. So they aren't going to donate it to a museum but might loan it for display. Which happens all the time but it tends to be a very small set of special pieces. You can't take a whole art warehouse and dump it on a museum and say "display this" there simply isn't space. Museums are limited by space (and funds) shortages, not art shortages.

It's almost as if Epistemology and epistemic chains are relevant to making truth claims!

Being unable to make coherent epistemic derivations is true of MOST of humanity, and unless rigorous epistemic processes are followed and explicated they will not be embedded into the foundational data.

This is actually what the symbolic people get wrong IMO - you can't "code in" epistemic reasoning that humans will accept because it's a social not mathematical function. That is to say, the majority of humans accept as truth claims that have no consistent and complete epistemological grounding (Hi godel!).

You can test this yourself.

Go find a random group of college educated people and try and have a discussion on gettier problems[1] or the munchausen trilemma[2] to the point where everyone can coherently state the paradox. Don't try to resolve them (impossible), but rather see how incredibly hard it is just to get to the point of hitting the paradoxes even once they are familiar with the problem.

I promise, unless people have sat with these problems for a long time in different contexts they won't be able to even conceptualize these epistemological problems.

That might be fine if everyone building, testing, funding, using LLM or other AI systems is deeply aware of these epistemic problems but they aren't - not even close.

So with modern data-driven learning, that leaves you with attempting to build systems which can derive epistemic chains from the existing corpus of data.

But current data systems do not contain enough data from random internet users that would reveal coherent and repeatable epistemic chains for MOST problem classes. My guess is that there are some epistemic chains available for fairly trivial systems.

So any process which attempts to build coherent reasoning chains, and their successors, which are "RL loops" or markov control process, will always fail if the foundational data they are sitting on does not have epistemic grounding and contextual framing.

> What's stopping whoever does have the permissions from "sneaking code into production?"

In our arrangement, the ability to push code to production is gated by the GitHub/Azure integration path. The QA or project person who is rotating the production deployment slots (azure functions) is not granted access in GitHub to deploy to those same functions.

So, the developers pushing code and those deploying code are mutually exclusive groups. You could still defeat this with collaboration between employees or screwing with AAD records, but that's why we have a ton of audit logging turned on too.
Having worked at companies like that - usually utter incompetence of 'release engineers'.
Netflix's Gamble Pays Off and Reddit Starts an API War
Arsenic and mercury came out of the ground, originally. It's not like we can make those elements from scratch. Diluting them and putting them back where we got them is probably fine.

Nuclear waste is something new we are creating, but I'd rather have it deep underground in a geologically stable place, than sitting in casks on the surface.
I don't keep that up with it but it seems like the ecosystem has kind of collapsed the last few years though? Like you have optimizely and its competitors that are fully focused on huge enterprise with "call us" pricing right out the gate. VWO has a clunky & aged tech stack that was already causing problems when I used it a couple years ago and seems unchanged since then.

If you're a medium-small business I see why you'd be tempted to roll your own. Trustworthy options under $15k/year are not apparent.
With most STEM you're getting the API reference with no useful sample code or applications.

Some people love the abstractions as puzzles. I was fine with calculus and matrix algebra at that level, but I was doing an EE course and the gap between abstraction and real world problems was not huge.

But I had a mental block at school about the moment of inertia, because I had no idea what it was for.

At some point the penny dropped and I worked out that it was basically the m in F=ma but for spinny things. Until that happened it was a mess of confusing diagrams with no obvious meaning or application, in an uncanny valley between pure abstraction and physical relevance.

After it happened it became much easier to do the math.
Good on you ! That’s how I would probably approach it too in your place, and have had similar experiences as you probably had in both big and small companies
The ability to be vulnerable with other people is also the ability to weather any possible damage incurred, so I would consider it a beneficial ability to develop for your own sake.
My wife and I taught for 7 years before we couldn't make it work anymore financially. And that was in higher education which is infinitely less challenging than k-12.

We both agreed that we learned most of what we learned about the job in the first 2-3 years.

Also we saw a lot of teachers hit burnout at around 2-3 years and become infinitely less engaged / less passionate / more toxic.

Two years is a perfect amount of time to put into teaching.
The biggest issue with those three hypotheses is one of them, the noticing the button, almost certainly isn't being tested. But, how the test goes will inform how people think about that hypothesis.

No man is an island. If you separate someone from their community, their relationships, and the very things that cause us to change (people) -- you create monsters. Disenfranchised (more than already), rootless, without a reason or purpose to change. The only recognizance most prisoners will get is further down the "no one can be trusted or relied upon; I am the only person that must be taken care of" rabbit hole. You end up with either the fully antisocial, the terribly maladapted who can no longer build relations and integrate with others, or simply the dissociated.

Atleast in more sane countries, the corrections officers and prisons act as a form of community. A safe reprieve from the brutality of life, for one to be able to emulate a "normal" life, and "normal" interactions, and "normal" behavior. The brutality and isolation of an American prison only emulates a lawless society. The moral compass imparted within is simply might makes right. It takes Olympian acts of mental gymnastics to believe one is wholly responsible for one's own moral compass -- or that anyone but the most deluded can reject the reality they find themselves in, cast off all practical notions of operating oneself, and commit to abstract ideals. The only people who can do that are people who are so detached from any feedback loop on their survival, that it doesn't matter what they believe -- they have enough money and support that any insanity will never jeopardize them.

Crimes and morals are relative to the environments people find themselves in. Stuffing the spiritually ill into a crude box of suffering is on par with lobotomizing the "fussy and ill-tempered" housewives of the last century.

I Immediately thought this was Material Design from google.
If we're burying spent fuel, that's a tacit admission that nuclear will not be powering the world, because a once-through fuel cycle with thermal reactors (like the ones used in Finland) powering the world runs out of cheap uranium very quickly.

In any case, the lack of a geological repository for commercial high level waste in the US is mostly because there's no stakeholder who really needs it. Storing spent fuel in dry casks is a perfectly cromulent solution -- and that waste could be buried or reprocessed later (more easily, after it cools more) so this doesn't rule out any other solution.
If it’s from the App Store, it’s at least required to be sandboxed.
>Is this more rigged election without evidence talk?

I mean, the user above just provided his personal testimony on the subject.

In any case, why should we have a presumption that a poll with say 10k votes on a sub with 10m users is a representative sample of user opinion? Not only would I say that we shouldn't, but I'd say that we shouldn't for reasons that the pro-blackout people often point to - that even if the changes don't impact most users it does disproportionately impact powerusers and mods.

But when someone says "maybe powerusers and mods are disproportionately influencing these polls" then we're suddenly asking for strong evidence??
I'm sure this will work out fine /s
Reddit is undeleting years worth of comments and posts
Today, Reddit has started a data rollback.

What they've done though it go way too far - so far they are undeleting posts from over a decade ago. Reddit didn't actually delete anything, only soft deletes.

In the image posted there are also cached thumbnails from YouTube - those videos no longer exist.

I've already had one trans person confirm there are posts appearing from before their transition.

The IPO is really going great for them with such a huge GDPR Privacy violation...
> keep the main, core userbase happy

I think you're mistaking the apathetic hordes who don't contribute much with the power users, power posters, and moderators. I consider the latter to be the "core userbase". Not the big numbers that look good to an mba. If a team built a reddit replacement, they would want that 0.1%, not the rest.
Maybe there's a lot of different devices because there's a lot of different ergonomics for the different tasks, all of which are improved with different kinds of computing devices? Like, if all I want is a running watch, I really don't care about it having a heavily rugged design like I might for some kind of hiking watch. I probably also don't care about connectivity to bike sensors. I probably also don't need a large satellite antenna on it. Nor do I need a big display and a mount for it and the ability to attach a sonar fish finder on it. I just want it a small and light as possible while still tracking heartrate, maybe connect to a wireless chest band, and an average quality GPS to follow my tracks.

But at the same time, if I'm on a boat and trying to look at charts and trying to find the fish, I don't necessarily care about it being small and light, I want it to be pretty big, and it needs to plug into the sonar fish finder and depth sensors on the boat.
Duh. Reddit owns the code. They can flip on any site they want to. "going dark" has no real power.
It really depends on the codebase and how complex or well written it is, and the. How much it costs/takes to validate and test. A website is going to be much easier and quicker then something in finance where testing and validating is by far the expensive part.

Your code took a month, not everyone’s will.

so again something is just running and working why spend the money and or time when there are potentially far more important things to spend limited resources on?

Hopefully the top organizers of the reddit strike consider arranging a "delete day" where all subs temporarily go public again for this purpose
cars dot com uses it
The host of a podcast having total control of a community seems like the perfect example of illegitimate control. I'd assume they'd remove any critical discussion to the point it would devolve into their own personal website where all it's good for is promoting the product. Users with anything critical to say would be banned, posts removed. That's about as anti user as it gets.
Christian’s one dude. And he’s a dev. Most of us here are devs (or at least have technical backgrounds) yeah? Ok now imagine any of us get on a phone call to negotiate terms and defend our work on a business call with another idiot (spez). Yeah…

So you’re right neither side handled it the best. But Reddit has no excuse. They have a team of business so-called experts and have resources to handle this correctly. At this point it’s clear that they are intentionally choosing to go this route of being hostile to 3rd party apps and alienating their users.

Whenever you get a bunch of people together you have to have rules or you get the inevitable mentally ill person who starts to troll or try to spread racism. Think 8chan or 4chan on steroids. It just has to be done. Hopefully the rules are permissive enough to allow reasoned debate on topics between diverse opinions. However I don't need to know your political leanings in all caps while discussing the latest news so pitch that guy off. If I'm being rude or ranting pitch me off.

Personally -- I couldn't get past the first 2 chapters of the book. The notations it introduces are pretty unfamiliar for a newcomer and it quickly becomes really hard to follow. I genuinely would like to hear from somebody who managed to go through the entire book above, and what their main takeaways were (from the chapters that follow the two introductory ones).

The non-technical introduction chapter is pretty easy to follow, and I would recommend reading it.
Web publishing for individuals shouldn't be anymore complicated than that. Just add a "Publish to SFTP" instead of "Export to HTML" and we'd have a vibrant network of personal websites out there.
Not all code is a website or publicly accessible…
What's the point of an edit button then, what gives the user the right to edit Reddit's content?
Rather than developers not wanting to do ops, I took the article to mean that

- ops is sufficiently complex
- The incentive to deliver features means that ops corners tend to be cut

So the suggestion is to build a self service platform that encapsulates the complexity, while making it easier for developers to use.
openssl validates my theory that the most poorly written software ends up being the most used software.

I'm honestly shocked more critical bugs haven't been found in it. I guess that attests to the power of tools like Valgrind
Ooo capital gains looks really good, thank you.
As you guessed, the history tracking is one of the killer features. Imagine it being super easy to edit the history of a REPL session (delete, reorder, merge, and edit contents of each command) and rerun... That's a notebook! Notebooks also allow for markdown input and rich HTML output (which is killer for plotting) making it possible to polish your REPL history into a document you'd actually want to share with a colleague to explain something like a data analysis workflow.

I actually started in notebooks and then learned to love the REPL as a simplified "scratchpad notebook." I'd say in many ways notebooks are an improvement that cater heavily to REPL-lovers, but that for some quick tasks, the extra complexity isn't always worth it.
I really just use Google with Tools set to Verbatim, and search strings like, for example:

It's generally more productive to find a topic you're interested in and then collect a wide variety of articles on that topic from many different sources, rather than to follow any individual source. This isn't really what substack writers like, they want you to pay to follow them, and I guess if you can afford dozens of subscriptions it's a charitable thing to do.
> One company that is basking in the success of another controversial strategic decision is Netflix. This week it was reported that since the company rolled out its ban on account sharing, sign ups have increased 102%. It was certainly a bold move by the company's product leaders, but for now at least, the move seems to have paid off remarkable well for the streaming giant.

Netflix has content that many many people around the world want to watch and are willing to pay for.
Netflix also doesn't do random product or pricing changes, instead testing what works.
While browsing internet I stumbled upon this article which describes an interesting way to do a DDOS in stealth mode using popular android app. In the article author mentions also iOS phones but my quick investigation showed that the same app on Appstore just does not do any DDOS'ing.

Looks like author just made a wrong assumption without actually testing it (though, he did a good analysis on android). I wrote him asking to do a deeper dive into iOS and if he does not I might write my own version.

But still kudos to Apple for not letting some weirdos use my phone for malicious activities and maybe android will one day catch up.
But what does telling them it is their responsibility get us? A warm, fuzzy feeling that we are better than those irresponsible people is the best I can come up with. Aside from that we shouldn't try to assign responsibility or blame, but instead look at what results our system has. If there are people who could be productive members of society, but who have fallen so far behind they can't take care of "their responsibilities", how does it help us if we don't help them?
I'm sorry, but if you think cryptocurrency invented crime, I have no idea what to say. Ransomware existed welllll before widespread adoption of cryptocurrency, and some of the big ones still use the old infrastructure. Like Moneypak. Even Cryptolocker was mostly paid through vouchers.
Based on consulting calls I've had with companies, a very common pattern is:

- They want to be "open source" because they or their VC think it's important for the marketing benefits and it seems to be of interest to customers

- But, they're not really planning to invest to make the open source development model work

- And, they sure don't want to disadvantage themselves from a business perspective (have trouble holding features back/give potential competitors a leg up)
This was also why I chose gDomains, and I'm very sad that they're getting rid of that product now. I guess I'll have to look at my options again soon.
