How?
it’s about accountability or perception thereof, mgmt thinks workers are working less hard without supervision. they cannot say it aloud due to backlash but corps are spreadsheet optimizing machines they cannot help but optimize the perceived inefficiency. and at your typical corp where a lot of the work is fake (or at least perceived that way by workers), who can blame either side? the workers sometimes grift (whether or not wfh) and the managers are even worse, grifting their way up the fake ladder by stealing credit and politicking, and the executives are by far the worst for grifting their employees (taking all surplus, layoffs, fake stock options), their customers (delivering trash products and rent seeking) and society at large (grifting the environment, creating monopolies, military contracts). Corporations grifters all the way up and down, who can blame anyone for trying to capture what money is on the table so they can give their kids a better life. if you don’t like it, join a mission driven startup or nonprofit (and leave the six figure salary behind!)
Well there are entire areas of CS research tangential to PLs (say, SAT/SMT, software verification, program synthesis) where the fundamental problems are known to be NP-complete/exponential/undecidable. So it is pretty hard to declare a new approach "superior" on purely theoretical grounds: you usually have to
run some benchmarks and see how your new approach compares to existing alternatives. And you want these benchmark to be replicable across different machines and platforms.
Technically yes but in the context of the basketball team it’s only soft C
Bitwarden also has an OSS backend that you can self-host.
Depends on the job of course. Probably more technical problems and tuning. Often code is low level which is interesting if its your thing but not if you like business problems.
Aha!

That is not obvious to a British English speaker such as myself; in my language, "I got pissed" means "I became very drunk". The American usage, I suspect, evolved from our "pissed off".
The overlap is large enough for GIMP and Krita and Inkscape and dozens of other free software tools to exist. There's overlap between competent C programmers and accountants (GNUCash, ledger, hledger), and between competent C programmers and lawyers, and between competent C programmers and typesetters, and between competent C programmers and desktop publishers, and between competent C programmers and the target audience for every other open source tool.

It seems easier to assume that it just isn't a big deal. I don't really understand the issue myself, but it seems like the simplest explanation. It would be strange for this to be the one random area where 'competent C or C++ programmer' and 'domain expert' doesn't have an overlap.

I mean maybe there's a pattern here with some other areas that lack good free software? I don't know. People complain about other 'creative' software lacking good free software tools but I think that's usually due to a lack of familiarity rather than a lack of quality in the software itself. Creatives seem to be more bothered by UI they're not used to than others are.
Those “free” credits on these cloud providers are akin to how drug dealers sell unadulterated product in small amounts to new users to get them hooked. Then repeat business is the cut product with high markup.
It may be the opposite.

If you are at a national lab and replicate this you would have to do so with a very high level of detail and diligence before disclosing to the press. I am pretty sure that every PI of every lab will be demanding that all process and material is submitted to them and then going over it with a fine tooth comb before putting their name to it.

The private folks have much less to lose, as well as (possibly) more to gain.

Sometimes customers come up with feature requests that are reasonable in the surface but would cost millions to implement and maintain. In that case, workarounds are one way to resolve the issue.

> Even if it’s just a patch for that one customer only.

Red Hat does not do one-off patches. If it's fixed in the product, it's fixed for everyone (including upstream).
jQuery is completely unnecessary now, you can use the built in element selectors to do all the same stuff without pulling a huge lib in. The value in jQuery was acting as a shim to smooth over IE's deficiencies back in the day. Now, its a waste of bandwidth.
Something that catches me out when driving is the scale adjusting for speed. It makes sense, but a junction that looks quite close suddenly starts moving further away from you as you slow down for it and the maps zooms in. It's an odd UI quirk.
I hope you agree then it’s not a water fountain but rather a water bubblah
Yes, but keep in mind that showing superconductivity on very small samples is hard. You never actually measure 0 resistance - you measure a resistance at the limit of your equipment sensitivity.

The smaller the sample, the smaller the resistance is even if it's not superconducting, and all sorts of other effects come into play - i.e. your wires and leads have a resistance you need to account for, parasitic inductance and capacitance climbs etc.
That's a strong assumption. There isn't an infinite amount of developers willing to sacrifice their free time for common good.

I have a weaker assumption - somebody will keep maintaining it, but active feature development is in question.
I don't want it to be anything. Free software is what it is. People work on what they want to work on. Some people make software for others to use. Most, I think, make software for themselves to use. Then you have people making commercial software that they can sell support contracts for. And there are people making free software so they can write academic papers.
> I use AWS EC2 for Waitlist's backend python webserver, RDS for the postgres database, S3 for file storage, and an Elastic IP. I use T2 and T3 instances. My AWS bill would be $200-300 a month

My guess is that RDS is eating up the cost here?

I've been using Litestream on datasciencesouth.com - it has flaws but if you can get away with it, it's much cheaper than RDS.
The lab has a patent though which a lows for disclosure while also profiting from it. Thus I am not totally convinced of your claims.

>They'd add to another project if it were to be popular enough, and the network effect keeps Google Maps popular. Hence they get away with enshittification.

Ah yes, the chicken and egg logic of network effect excuses all.

How about if people, idk, just evangelized more about the things they love to be smug about on HN?

People should be shamed off enshittified platforms. Be "that guy" - or be a hypocrite. For Google it might a little more complicated, but for each one of us it's exactly this simple.

The funniest thing to me is that Google Maps seems to be the "normal person" option and yet only OSM tells me where water fountains are.

Millions of tourists worldwide use GMaps to navigate around in foreign places and yet they have no option to see where the closest place to refill their bottles is? Especially in the summer?
I noticed this one too as I was planning my route last night. Google Maps can’t detect one way streets anymore and suggested roads that are marked no entry. I’m glad I zoomed in and was able to read the sign.

I am not sure what is happening to Google Maps lately but this is bad.
I'm really good at typing in the traditional qwerty and йцукен layouts. The problem is that I need two and sometimes the wrong one is active. This is why I envy people who can do everything without needing non-Latin alphabets.

These seem to cater for "math Greek". What about accented Greek letters (which almost every Greek word uses, to indicate where the emphasis is), or even final sigma?
My main gripes with Google Maps is that it seems to work OK if you know the name of the place you are looking for, but not its location. But it really doesn't work if you know the location but not the name. If there's any clustering of stores, you can zoom in all you want but it will only show 1 in 2 stores, sometimes even fewer.

Also annoying is the sort order of many searches these days somehow giving you random residential locations at the very top. I suppose these are small webshops ran out of homes for the same search term. But that's rarely what I want to find when I'm using google maps.

Modern healthcare is very bad at treating chronic illnesses. Symtomatic treatment is not a cure. I believe if people would live by these simple rules chronic diseases would be actually prevented and cured (in order of importance and effectiveness):

1. Don't mouthbreathe and don't overbreathe. See "Breath - The New Science of A Lost Art" by James Nestor for why and how.

2. Don't eat sugar, it's a chronic poison. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

3. Min. 1 hr of physical activity per day. Your body is not meant to sit all the time.

4. Avoid noise of the city life as much as you can. It leads to chronic stress and thus chronic diseases. Noise-cancelling earphones may help.
The steps are public. Famously the catgirl-boyfriend in Russia ignored them and came up with alternative steps to reproduce on their kitchen counter. However, it's very hard to get right and the original authors also needed many attempts and still had impurities.
There is much to learn from Dijkstra since Human nature is not that very different. Problem-solving requires a multifaceted approach and if we find that somebody had used a Method/Process which gave them exceptional results then we need to extract the essence of their methodology and learn to apply them in our own individual contexts.

As an example w.r.t Dijkstra's "working habits" here are my takeaways;

1) His focus on logical rigor in thinking of a Program as a sequence of "Predicate Transformers" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_transformer_semantic...) is very fundamental to thinking about programming. Even if i do not use his particular notation/techniques, cultivating the habit of thinking about logical predicates operating in the state space of the program before writing the code which moves the state space from one to another i.e. from Pre to Post condition is essential to writing correct programs.

2) His emphasis on writing everything down by hand before touching a computer. The biggest problem facing a Programmer today is myriads of distractions hindering any attempt to focus and think for long stretches of time consistently. If you sit with paper/pencil and force yourself to think and write out your thoughts/algorithms then the above problem goes away. He famously wrote the THE OS by hand!

3) Learn to focus only on the absolute essentials and not on accessories like IDEs/debuggers/etc. Dijkstra famously stated that programming should only be taught in a precise language for which there are no compilers to machine code in order to force students to "play computer" and think through their program execution. Tools should be used only to augment thought but never to supplant/short-circuit it.

If you look at the working habits of the great Scientists/Geniuses almost without exception they avoided "busyness", ruthlessly cut out all inessentials from their work, wrote precisely, used tools judiciously and thought deeply. This is what we need to hold on to in this day and age where we have a surfeit of everything (distractions, tools, socializing etc.) designed to hinder us at every turn.

That isn't simple. The sample needs to be shipped. You have to ensure it doesn't get damaged in shipment. If some lab has a an unknown evil intent they can destory the sample and claim it was shipping damage.

They say they are willing to let other labs examine their sample. If nothing has happened in two months i'll get worried, but for now I don't expect any lab to have seen it
What's even worse is that often I'll click "restaurants", zoom in all the way, and then click "Search this area", yet Google will still refuse to show some popular restaurant, even when there are no other restaurants displayed in the window.

The only way to get those restaurants to show up is to search them by name.

Not sure if they're intentionally penalizing certain restaurants, but it's pretty bad.
I don't really follow.

Your weird capitalisation here is confusing me. What is "the blue blood Board"?

> the anemic 286/386/486 chips

Hang on, what? That's a timspan from the 1980s to the 1990s, from sluggish 16-bits to competitive 32-bit 2nd gen chips that started to obliterate the competition. It's ludicrous to lump all those together.

Not sure what "killing it" means in this context.

Not sure why you'd glue Netware and NetBIOS together.

Not sure what you're saying at all, in fact.

It's not really Rust's compiler that 'optimises lazy sequences'. It's LLVM, which notices that the code emitted happens to be able to be optimised down, if you run it for a really, really long time with some very strong optimisations.

GHC would be a better example, I think. It performs stream fusion. This means it can turn 'map f (map g xs)' into 'map (f . g) xs', and of course it gets more complex than that, but that's the basics. It directly optimises lists (which, this being Haskell, are lazy sequences).

Unofficial institutions may have a lower institutional barrier for just dumping an "It works!" message on social networks.

Big institutions have a reputation to protect, which in this case means being extra careful before making any revolutionary claims.

I don't really think that either is bad, but I would expect confirmations from the stratosphere to come in quite a bit later. Also, it is vacation time in the Northern Hemisphere, so many bigger institutions will be staffed by minimal crews only - mostly by younger people, who don't have kids yet, but don't have much decision authority either.

In the Dept. of Algebra where I studied, it was uncommon to meet a professor in summer, much less several of them at the same time. The postdocs were present, but not the big wigs.
I am sure there are numerous services costing $5-10/mo that would cover this and I would certainly consider that to eliminate the hosting and maintenance cost.

If I had to build it, I would expect using Lambda, DynamoDb and S3 would likely bring the hosting cost to down to a couple of a dollars a month max.

The future of Data Engineering. Is this role going to vanish?
If you are a Data Engineer, you can now focus on what you are best at and try the roles that already exist (yes some companies have been doing a great job looking into the future).

If you are a Tech Recruiter, you can now understand why is so hard to hire Data Engineers. Now it is time to focus on learning with your tech team leaders what they need.

If your company got used to hiring a super senior that knows everything, I got 2 messages:

There is no such thing as Full-stack Data Engineer.
You need to hire specific people for specific jobs if you want deep knowledge.

I don’t think “skillset” is the right word either. It’s the financial outcome of the decisions the CEO makes which is the only thing that really matters. Which is notoriously hard to measure and impossible to do in advance. So companies tend to use various proxies when hiring like past experience and less useful ones like skills, education, character, personal connections, work ethic etc.

Obviously this system is very inefficient but nobody can deny that some CEO are better than others and that the best ones can make decisions which bring 10-100x or more money to the company than whatever they are paid.

So if the board of 100 billion company believes that a CEO they can hire for 100 million will increase growth/profits by more than 10 million CEO would it seems perfectly rational to pay him as much (they might be awful at picking the ’best’ person but that does not invalidate the core principle)
Hexagonal refers to the type of crystal lattice. Most hexagonal crystals, including apatites, have a 3-dimensional structure.
They have a large office in London, so their own staff put up with it.

I once met a Googler who had previously worked on maps. I made a few grumbles (railway lines at the time were almost invisible, but very useful for orienting yourself when you exit a station, gardens were grey yet parks were green, "Transit" only shows the London Underground so it misses most of the local rail travel routes in South London, etc).

He agreed with everything, but said the staff working on Maps were all in California and wouldn't care, if they could even be made to understand the issues.
>it is still copyright infringement.

I doubt it's copyright infringement in this case, at most it's just against the ToS.

>Its making a derivative work

A derivative work includes major copyrightable elements of a first, previously created original work, and that's how it's treated in court. Most AIs will not generate derivative works (unless you ask them to).
Okay? How is this relevant to the discussion? We're not talking about 'bigotry'.
Indeed, it's quite intriguing to observe the apparent trend of unofficial institutions showing a higher rate of partial success. It raises questions about the factors influencing these outcomes. While it's important not to jump to conclusions about the legitimacy or capability of accredited labs versus unofficial ones, your skepticism is understandable.

Accredited institutions often have established protocols, rigorous peer review processes, and accountability mechanisms that contribute to their credibility. However, it's worth considering that unofficial institutions might have some advantages too, such as more freedom to explore unconventional approaches and potentially quicker adaptation to emerging trends.
Google Maps is fundamentally a commercial map layer. I use google maps to find commercial places - shops, restaurants and hotels! I use OsmAnd to follow forest paths and follow roads (to some extent - google maps has live traffic info, which is sometimes useful). OsmAnd can route you even if you are offline with only GPS signal.
Hats off to grafana and their engineers for making their source code clean and readable. As a non-Typescript developer, it was quite a daunting task to locate and modify specific features in such a large project. Grafana makes this and the build process of custom images pretty painless.

Based on these changes InfluxDB 3.0 can now make use of the Traces to Logs feature within the #Jaeger data source.

Yes (for quite a few decades now). I've noticed that elections often feature both incumbents and challengers. The latter often attack decisions and statements made by the former - "He voted to raise your taxes!", "Look at [video] what he said about X!", etc. By numerous, and seemingly well-researched accounts, an enormous about of behind-the-scenes political work goes into identifying the very best combinations of incumbent behavior and voter hot buttons, to precision-target those expensive (paid political advertising) attacks.

If all the politicians, wanna-be politicians, and their armies of consultants and pollsters, seem to believe that where it counts, in the polling booth, voters don't actually care about a certain issue...might all those amply-motivated experts possibly be correct?

OsmAnd is ok as well and offers more layer choices, but it's heavier. Organic Maps is great though to just quickly see where you are for instance. No fuzz, just a map, which is a feature these days, unfortunately.

But for now, I’m stuck with Google Maps

Of course I don't know whether they really think there are no other maps than Google and Apple, but that seems rather far fetched. This seems such a basic 'right tool for the job' thing. You have a computer in your hand, it's still supposed to work for you and not the other way around. And for a lot of things you can actually make it do that, so why wouldn't you?
I've not Firefox for a while, and never used multiple profiles, but in Chrome, I just click my face at the top right, choose work profile from the dropdown and I get a work profile window alongside my personal profile window that I still keep open. Or I can right click a link from my personal profile and choose "open link as -> work". Incognito windows are like a special profile that gets deleted when you close the window.

Are you saying that in Firefox you have to exit the entire browser to do the same thing?
> LK-99 is a quasi two-dimensional material

There is nothing 2-dimensional about the Apatite structure, and the preprints I have seen do not show any kind of “quasi two-dimensional” structure. If anything, it’s more like an array of tubes and chains, more 1D than 2D. Do you have a source making this claim?
