If you mean for yourself, yes. Do you want to have an easy time when you interact with a reality that assumes things about you, or do you want to spend a lot of time and effort accomplishing basic tasks as an outlier in a system that doesn't expect you? If you mean for your database, it depends on purpose. The same reality applies. Think about integration, for example.
Even this has some culturally confusing elements, doesn't it?

For example, in my studies I had cause to read many books by Hans Urs von Balthasar. Nobody ever referred to him as "von Balthasar," just "Balthasar," but his books were always sorted by the "von."
What the hell are comments like this doing on HN? Please take your phallic insecurity and go away.
For me an acceptable false positive rate would be somewhere around one in a thousand. The actual false positive rate is one in twenty-five or greater, despite the justice system spending more money ($1.26 million) per executed prisoner than it spends per life sentence prisoner. Since we are incapable of meeting a decent standard of surety I believe the death penalty should be abolished.
> You think 20 years is enough for this reckoning?

20 years minus the latency inherent to the system. If I recall correctly the latency from "stopping to emit CO2" to "starting to see effects" is estimated to be 13 years.
Since this is essentially QEMU: does anyone here have a working build of the QEMU guest utilities for Windows? No matter what one tries, they're all severely broken. Or alternatively, anything that can run Windows 7 x32 on an Apple Silicon machine.

(Why? Because I need to run Samsung ODIN, which is windows-only)

This package lets you set spending limits on AWS. While existing AWS solutions merely alert, this library disables resources, using non-destructive operations, when budgets are hit.
I would be interested to hear, how do you feel about simply entering "None" or something to that effect? I realize it may not be the literal correct version of your name, but do you feel like that is a reasonable compromise? I work with a system that makes exceptions for the circumstance you're talking about, but do wonder what you do in other platforms.

I would also mention that I feel your pain to a degree. My wife has an extremely uncommon female name, but the spelling is very close to a common male name. Many times she has run into people "fixing" her name for her without saying anything only for it to cause issues months later, or people calling her by the name they assumed she meant to type. It's incredibly aggravating to deal with. Lots of missed emails. Lots of phone calls of helpful people informing her of the "error".

At times, I wish the entire naming system were replaced with something that had no room for error or miscommunication. Everyone is called Larry or something.
It's all about scale IMO. If you're a massive company getting thousands of applicants, you simply need to weed out some of them with a basic test.

Personally, I hate "leet-code" style interview questions and nebulously defined take-home tasks.

The best interview questions I've had to answer are where you are given a series of contrived issues on an imaginary system which you have to diagnose and fix. It opens up the room for discussion and it's much closer to reality than fizz-buzz.

>Discovery is a big problem with youtube

youtube is for long-shot the best discovery(maybe tiktok) is not uncommon now that you get high quality videos for channel whith sigle video and dont show trash content from known creators,the new problem is maybe that the high quality content require high quality teams means more money and more pressure to monetize but youtube video quality is leagues ahead from what it was 10 years ago, now you have science, philosophy, history content than produce consistent research by various people content, such as Asianometry.

use instagram reel or twitter and most content is trash, the latter rquiring you to follow the correct people, thats virality.
discovery is hard that why you use more netlfix than hbomax, tiktok than instagram
The format and engine could try a lot harder to make improved reproducibility the default.

As a trivial example, network access for RUN should be opt-in, not opt-out. The fact that the easiest ways to pull data in involve things like RUN wget is a design error.

A much better approach would be to have packages that install with as little script involvement as possible. Most Linux images are put together using rpm or deb packages and, other than pre/post-install scripts (which are not usually particularly necessary), package installation is fundamentally reproducible and does not require running the image. A good image building system IMO would mostly look more like:

INSTALLPACKAGES foo bar baz

And dependencies would get solved and packages installed, reproducibly.

Context: I wanted “Dr.” to be added to my passport.

I haven't a clue. I like Goodreads. I can read reviews, get notified when my favourite authors publish new work, and keep track of what I'm reading.
> What is it about Goodreads that makes people want to use it?

I dive deep into a number of long-running series. Cosmere/Sanderverse, Star Wars, Dresden Files as examples. Once you step away from a series/topic for a bit, it's hard to walk back and see "What did I read? What's next?" - especially when you're doing it via (multiple) libraries.

GoodReads is the best I've found for tracking so far. I also have a private-notebook for some series - but goodreads is just easier. If you feel negative value in a feature (following authors/communities seems like line noise?) - just don't use That feature. I have ~300 books on my 'Read' shelf - That's valuable information moving forward I use when deciding What's Next.

Docker Desktop takes care of all the annoying config work needed to make Docker work on Windows, including managing virtual machine engines, configuring the windows firewall and the necessary magic to mount local drives in containers.

I dumped it even pre Amazon purchase .. The killer feature I still want is to see highly rated books I haven't read from people who highly rate books I rate also rate high ..

I like Teams, but I hate that the actual chatrooms are all DMs and Group Chats. I don't understand why you cant have a main chat in a Teams Team. This leads to dozens upon dozens of group chats that go stale, and for some reason someone on the team picks a really old one, and says they've got a dentist appointment or something obscure.

Microsoft, at least add a limit to how many normal chatrooms a Teams team can have. This forum for channels approach is annoying, those are useful for like automated messages.
Wait until you see Icelandic names where there is no last name at all. Björk's "last name" is Guðmundsdóttir, because she is the daughter of Guðmundur, whose "last name" is Gunnarsson, because he is the son of...

The Indian name situation, going by initials instead, is particularly interesting. There is a famous professor I know who goes by initials because his second name is forty letters long.
> Isn't team communication essentially a modern feature of a productivity suite that you'd expect to see included?

Seems to me a rather circular definition, because I'm not sure anyone except Microsoft has a 'productivity suite'?

Other than Google, but I wouldn't count gmail and a dozen cancelled chat platforms as an IRC/Slack competitor except in the very loosest sense.

Load averages can be very useful, but it's problematic to combine them with something like readiness checks. I must point out the corresponding comment in loadavg.c which is required reading:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/b97d64c722598ffed42ec...

The parent's concept of reporting "hotness" is really powerful. It lets a central authority (the load balancer in this scenario) make an informed decision about where to send traffic: the coolest backend. In the case where all systems are actually quite hot, it probably makes sense in most scenarios to continue sending traffic as best-effort.

In the case of readiness checks, nacking a check removes the backend from the pool of eligible new-traffic recipients. At least this is true for systems I've encountered. The solution you propose is problematic as it's possible for all systems to decline traffic resulting in no available backends -- rarely a desirable state -- which the load balancer usually can't do much about.

A good system will allow you to decouple the signals (loadavg, connections, latency, CPU, etc.) and the health decision (readiness checks) and the interpretation of that decision (load balancer policy) to provide the best of both these worlds.

Now, there are many scenarios where simply excusing yourself works fine -- processing expensive batch jobs, for example -- so this can work nicely, but for typical production traffic scenarios I'd advise against this approach.

Sadly, yes. This isn’t a statement about the death penalty, just a confirmation that gang leaders have been known to continue to operate in a leadership capacity even when incarcerated.
The Romans weren't but Napoleon was, so maybe it is more of an indirect Roman influence?
This is ridiculous from NASA point of view :-( They're shooting their self in the foot.

They should fund the DSN and make sure that not only all antennas are operational, but build new ones at the 3 locations or even better create additional locations.

A strike from DSN personnel would teach NASA to spend some money on dish antennas. It's insane to "throw" hundred of billions of USD for Artemis and not invest 1 billion for the comms infrastructure.

I guess it won't be long until a "genius" manager comes up with the idea of DSNaaS (Deep Space Network as a Service)

I'm feeling a bit dense today and it's not obvious to me. Please do tell what that solution is and why it doesn't generalize :).

Why not? If you have simple idea that organically has lots of demand I would imagine executing cleanly is an advantage.

There are plenty of examples: craiglist for classified ads, plentyoffish for dating (or at least used to), gandi for domain registration, github (as opposed to sourceforge which was filled with dark patterns)...

It just doesn't work for everyone. Never did.

I quickly realized I absolutely hate setups with multiple monitors, when I was given one at work. I quickly gave back my second monitor, because it just made it worse for me, and additionally wasted space on my desk. If you want to improve my circumstances at work, give me a bigger monitor, not more of them.
Some famous people got additional names, agnomina, such as "Africanus". And Roman emperors were later known for inflationary use of such designations. You could run a minor campaign on the Rhine and call yourself Germanicus for example.

The whole part about the Roman naming system indicating heritage became even more complicated when Caracalla (properly named Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) made every free man in the Empire a Roman citizen and now basically everyone was called "Marcus Aurelius" without ever having had any ties to the Aurelii family.

> Based on our results, we find that PostgreSQL consistently exhibits equivalent or better performance for queries with an IN clause than OR clauses when filtering on a single attribute.

Seems like an obvious optimization to use a hash instead of scanning the array with comparisons... but I bet it's hard because on small arrays sequentially scanning is faster than building a hash first. Does anyone know at what size the optimizer switches from scanning the list to a hash?
> Some crimes deserve no less.

If you believe in deserved individual punishment then wouldn't incarceration for life be a harsher punishment than execution? The imprisoned person experiences the personal consequnces day after day after day until the eventually die. Whereas the executed person experiences literally nothing at all. They may have lost the experience of living the rest of their life, but they're not even aware of that.

A translator app might improve incrementally

A translator needs to convert some text to another that has the same information.

I think you are misunderstanding what happens with the current image generation stuff out there. You give it text, it gives you something that might look plausible for what you described. It ends up full of artifacts and temporally extremely unstable.

We already have bad CGI that most except the most eagle-eyed moviegoers will not notice or care about,

I don't know what you mean by this exactly. CGI in movies takes an extreme amount of labor and every shot out of the hundreds of thousands that go in to a film are very exacting, being directed to a detail level that people can't notice while watching a movie in real time.

Your comment basically boils down to "what if it gets good enough, then it will be good enough".

Remember that the original claim here was that "kids will make hollywood blockbusters in their bedrooms".

Some people saw early cars and predicted they would fly too. You could also say that phone cameras have gotten much better and they will eventually replace "hollywood cameras".

Show me something where you can keep typing in text to change the image, move the lights, move the camera and have it be temporally stable. Then you might have a tool that has a chance to be used for a final image and even then, it's still a far cry from "kids making a hollywood blockbusters in their bedrooms".
This baffled me:

"I wish I knew what happened, or how to replicate it. It’s involved more upfront design than I normally do, by necessity. I like feeling my way forward in general, but there are problems where the approach just doesn’t work"

Yes, immediate (or soon enough) gratification feels good... To me, and maybe is because I am an old fart, this is the difference between programming and engineering.

> view count ... not subject to the algorithim

That would seem like a way to deliberately cream off the most algorithmically pushed videos!

I wonder what might be a good anti-algorithm indicator - maybe a mismatch between two metrics that normally correlate with highly pushed content. View count over time might be interesting. Big spikes might be bad sign indicating external push. Playlist inclusion might be good to pick up on some human curation. Some measurement of link sharing on other social sites might be helpful... like what google used to do. Sigh.
Oh, I agree that this is the cause, but no thanks.

I will keep using the heavyweight development tools that run through all of my code discovering problems, analyzing its quality, changing it into more performant code, deducting all kinds of new code to complete my high-level view, and doing all kinds of the modern benefits that use my computer to replace my work.

I can get behind testing the resulting executable on a low-power machine. But not on using it for everything.

French uses the same convention as English. First then last. No one would ever say, or write, "Macron Emmanuel est le président de la France".

In languages like Japanese or Hungarian, that's what family name first means.
If you obtain French citizenship you can "francify"[0] your name; you'll end up with two full canonical names. Nothing really forces you to change your original name in your original nationality.
