Why would anyone go up to an electrician and say that? Paying them money, at the very least, conveys "I don't want to learn how to do this or spend time doing this."

What point are you trying to make exactly? Paying someone for services has absolutely nothing to do with manipulation or deception.
I think this is what the "Digital Assistant" will become. At the moment we craft some kind of prompt then scour the results which are largely book-like representations of information.

Per your suggestion, it would be logical that alongside our usual text-driven sites we have digital information repositories for AIs to query information rather than trying to glean it from the text-driven webpage. Google Knowledge and Siri Knowledge are both implementations of this idea, but I assume it will grow to something that is more general purpose, so any AI could access it. Then extend that to all manner of services, such as bookings, tickets, shopping, etc. That's where the real turtles are.
Ask HN: How do healthcare co's using Stripe and Shopify fulfil HIPAA?

When I wrote some parallel code in C, enabling hyper-threading resulted only 30% increase in speed, which not too little, but you would expect more for doubling the thread count. I don't remember what was the bottleneck, but it was not I/O.

Because most of us didn't think AOL was doing something illegal by blocking third party clients. AOL created the service and ran the servers. AOL was free to make it work however they liked. And we never tried to insist that AOL was legally liable for making any changes to their own protocol without notice or approval to third party clients - what a hellscape of a world that would be for anyone trying to run a service!

Sentiment at the time was that we wished AOL would welcome third party clients but it was not their duty or obligation to do so. Likewise most people believed the third party clients were free to adapt to the changes. Both had the right to play cat/mouse as long as they wished.

Beeper is making a very different argument: that the courts and/or law should force anyone exposing an endpoint to the internet to bend over backwards so third parties can use the endpoint too (for free) because that would be convenient for end users. That Beeper can decide, at its own discretion, what is or is not allowable for something that was never intended to allow third party access.

Every company is almost by definition a monopolist with regard to its own products and services because even mostly equivalent things are still different in some way that could matter to a customer. It is all about where you draw the lines.
I disagree. My paying someone else to do something that I don't care to is simple arbitrage: I value both having a new outlet for charging my car and the time I'd spend installing one more than the electrician values the time they'd spend installing it.

I don't have to pretend to be an idiot for this transaction to be efficient. Learned helplessness is a manipulation technique used to fudge the numbers when the value gap is very small: by adding the good feeling of helping someone in need to the mark's side, you create an efficiency where none existed.

Microservice architecture is not the same thing as Cloud architecture.

Plenty of companies run IaaS heavy applications in the cloud at scale, and do so cost-effectively. There is some extra overhead in writing automation around it, and as well performing cost management (cloud finance roles are a new and weird job title, for example). For sure I've seen it done. It's not necessarily the easiest thing, but it's doable.

Just like I've also seen Microservice architecture outside of the cloud. And monolith architecture inside the cloud.

It's very in line with the current zeitgeist to dismiss a thoughtful piece on the perils of compromising personal values and friendships for the sake of social climbing, as a mere defense of classism. Gone from public discussion are virtue, integrity, loyalty. There is only class struggle.

Did you get the impression he meant labour organizers or ambitious but honest entrepreneurs when he spoke of scoundrels? Or, given his emphasis on friendship, did he mean those who would sell-out their co-workers? Do you really mean to defend the "financial upward mobility" that comes from, say, withholding the health hazards of a product?

Wikipedia defines the term as "policies and practices that exist throughout a whole society or organization that result in and support a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race". So if black people are at all disadvantaged due to the EU system, it would seem that by definition the system is at least a little systemically racist. Probably not enough to warrant changing though based on the tradeoffs involved (unless there are other reasons for changing it).

The teachers think phones are detrimental, or at least Australian teachers do. I think my state was the last to implement a ban of them in schools:

https://www.theeducatoronline.com/k12/news/mobile-phones-smartwatches-to-be-banned-in-qld-schools/282807

Personally I wouldn't know, but I'm happy to take the teachers word for it. On this point they seem to be pretty much of one mind.
The sciences are full of new-latin and neo-greek formations like Biology and Astronomy. So reaching back the the original meaning of occult "to hide (from)" isn't that big a stretch. Especially when "occlude" comes from a word meaning "to shut (away)" and an eclipse isn't shutting the sun away, just hiding it. The Mahdi isn't just standing behind something, he's hidden away in another plane. That's why he's the occluded imam.

But also occlude has a chemistry meaning when one substance gets hidden inside another, so maybe it was too overloaded to be a good word for that.

Corporations are what their shareholders want them to be. Since a lot of the shareholders came to be shareholders by buying in, they generally want to see a return on investment.

It doesn't have to be that way if you can convince the shareholders differently. You are free to bring up a vote to Disney shareholders to change their mission into finding every mouse in the world and naming it Mickey.
Another good option to consider.
I think it's possible. One problem that I have with Remembrancer, as well as all approaches based on the same basic idea of 'show the user a list of similar items', is that this is fundamentally guaranteed to be mostly useless because the user will already remember many similar items and have deliberately omitted them. Sometimes you will forget, and then it can be quite helpful, sure, but for the most part, this retrieval strategy is inherently limited.

What you really get serendipity is from re-encountering things you don't know or have forgotten. And we know how to predict if you have forgotten something: spaced repetition and the forgetting curve! To manufacture serendipity, you simply track 'flashcards' of important things, but optimize for the opposite of the normal spaced repetition goal: you want to review only things you are predicted to have forgotten by now.

https://gwern.net/note/statistic#program-for-non-spaced-repe...

Then, as a Remembrancer agent, you make it show preferentially items that are similar but you have probably forgotten. (The Remembrancer agent can be treated as a fraction of a review, on the grounds that even just showing you the title briefly can trigger serendipity and if it didn't provoke any reaction from you, then that is evidence it is not useful and that title should be downweighted and show up less.)
I mean the latency problem is definitely not solvable, so why would they be trying to work on it?

That's a great point. Someone should submit a request to add language to their docs[0] letting developers know about that if it doesn't exist already. I breifly looked through that page just now and didn't see it pointed out explicitly. There should also be a way to let users know.

Obviously the devil's in the details, and it's almost impossible to troubleshoot from a screencast, but my experience has been that AWS is generally pretty liberal with the CloudWatch Metrics, but does place the onus upon the user to dig through the 150++ of them to read the docs to find the one that matters. They also claim <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_...> there's a console table cell for the replication status, but my experience with the console is that often one must opt-in to having that column shown which is suboptimal :-(

That "shared responsibility model," they lean on it heavily

The problem isnt over-engineering, it’s not engineering at all.

How many teams design for scale and then forget the number? The assumption that the entire system needs to scale to the population of the planet in 2050 workloads? Most developers wont even napkin math 3pp API calls. Theres no upper and lower bounds on things. Theres few constraints other than “use AWS”. Its the engineering equivalent of saying “use mcmaster-carr” then shrugging and walking off.

> then you are probably intending for it to do something different

If you have decided that your software is going to do something different, you probably want to deprecate the legacy functionality to give the users some time to adapt, not change how things work from beneath them. If you eventually remove what is deprecated, the tests can be deleted along with it. There should be no need for them to change except maybe in extreme circumstances (e.g. a feature under test has a security vulnerability that necessitates a breaking change).

If you are testing internal implementation details, where things are likely to change often... Don't do that. It's not particularly useful. Test as if you are the user. That is what you want to be consistent and well documented.

Not sure I agree with the "go ahead", it should never be ambiguous who's turn it is.

> What is a 'computation' exactly

Execution of whatever one proposes to code in a time invariant manner. In this case: "RSA decryption and signing operations."

> I imagine the complexity spirals

Measuring things and normalizing operation time doesn't appear terribly complex to me. How can endlessly reworking subtle algorithms for new compilers and hardware seem less complex than throttling well understood implementations with a clock?

Also, I asked a question. My question was sincere: how would using a clock to normalize operation time not be sufficient?
There are no teacher shortages at good schools, getting one of those jobs is extremely competitive. Shitty schools constantly lose teachers and need new ones.

And to reiterated, the difference between a good school and a bad school is the quality of the student body, who reflect the quality of their parents. It's not funding. Often the worst schools have the most funding because people think that will make the school better, but over-funding schools won't fix kids who are fucked up by their parents.

Anyway, you asked for comments from people who know teachers. I know teachers, but I'm not here to back up your preconceptions. Deal with it.

I like apple products just fine to be honest, you've really missed the mark here.
The issue is, as stated, you do not own the keys to the device you've purchased. That's a huge problem, and as OP's story shows, can result in the loss of access to your device.

I think apple is currently doing the best job out of everyone as far as hardware security is concerned. That does not mean their implementation is anything close to perfect, it's more that everyone else is doing a poor job, or forgoing any attempt at it in the first place.
> or more realistically to Mac, my understanding is that Apple is kind of the gold standard if you need accessibility controls.

Honestly, yes.

The iPhone is light years ahead of Android on the accessibility side, and it is the device you are most likely to always carry with you.

If you are using an iPhone, it already makes more sense to purchase a Mac, and from that point on going knee-deep into the Apple ecosystem makes sense in a lot of ways.

Like, you can hook up your smart doorbell to your Apple TV (for HomeKit), and when someone rings the door / motion is detected, Apple's image recognition can tell you on your iPhone who is at the door.
There's a vibrant industry of similar tools - but lots of differences and room to innovate!

Just a few of the differences: Plasmic....

- Is not specific to MUI

- Supports actual design control (beyond theming)

- Supports defining reusable components in the editor, with slots/props/variants

- Is suitable for websites and applications where page speed matters (static/SSR pre-rendering and data fetching, image optimization, etc.)

- Has a more structured layout system

- Is highly configurable UI for different personas - e.g. non-developers on the team

- Has cross-project imports / reusable libraries

- Has Figma import

- More...

> Kent Beck, who invented the term unit test, was quite clear that a unit test is a test that exists independent of other tests

Kent Beck didn't invent the term "unit test", it's been used since the 70's (at minimum).

> I am not sure why you would want anything other than unit tests?

The reason is to produce higher quality code than if you rely on unit tests only. Generally, unit tests catch a minority of bugs, other tests like end to end testing help catch the remainder.
I've often thought "what is the minimum stack, with minimum moving parts that just scales endlessly?"

If you reduced all the data flow of your distributed software (10,000s of machines, 100,000s of containers) to the number of positions that where each value is at to just an integer, could the position and movement of all values be traversable on a single thread on a single machine and calculated in a tiny amount of time? What's the O notation to your system's data flow?

I've this intuition and feeling that logistics and movement underlies the complexity of computer systems and that it's the shipping bits and dispatching everywhere is the complex part.

If we could write a formally verified state space with software similar to TLA+ and formal methods, we could generate all the plumbing.

Compilers work out how to place things in a calling convention, REST APIs and event queues schemas are just the same thing except we do it manually.
This will allow me to do something I've been looking forward to - When a car is running autonomously, I can turn in front of it because I know it will stop. Think of making a left turn across traffic in an almost-big-enough gap. If it is a meatbag driver, it might hit me. If it is autonomous, it should auto-brake. I'm not talking about a slam on the brakes scenario, just a little bit of a slowdown so I can make a gap that I wouldn't otherwise attempt.

It’s rentseeking monopolies all the way down.
One useful part of that video is how they play clips of ATC telling flights to “join the localizer”.

SFO has two published visual approaches (https://www.airnav.com/airport/KSFO, scroll to the bottom): Both visual approaches have pilots fly to intercept their runway’s localizer, the part of the ILS equipment that provides lateral positioning, relative to the localizer’s centerline (which is generally coincident to the corresponding runway’s centerline).

So, by flying the published visual approach and remaining “on the localizer”, you have separation from the planes on the parallel runway. What’s missing is careful monitoring and separation, and that’s what Lufthansa wanted.

It’s worth noting that SFO does have a Simultaneous Offser Instrument Approach procedure: See https://www.tc.faa.gov/its/worldpac/techrpt/afs420-84-1.pdf (detail) or https://www.flysfo.com/sites/default/files/PRM_SOIA_version_... (summary). But that procedure requires, among other things, additional controllers handling approach and monitoring. SFO might not have the spare controllers right now.
