Years ago, someone here on HN compared evolution of the DNA to the evolution of large-scale code bases. This really stuck with me. One example that was brought up was: There is no single region in the DNA that's responsible for the human eye. More generally: The mapping between phenotype and genotype tends to be fuzzy and the individual role and impact of genes is often unclear. Now in a somewhat similar way, in large code bases the mapping between features and code can also become fuzzy, and the role of a single line of code can be surprising. There can be side effects and a ton of implicit/hidden dependencies across the code base, maybe even spooky action at a distance. As a result, product features will no longer be confined to individual code files or modules. Rather, their exact logic will spread out all across the code base, and a single line of code can affect many features at once.

And therefore, crucially, you don't need to manage it yourself anymore. The only thing you need to do is tell the system what to index (which is code, not state/data).

Shouldn’t*. We let massive objects full of fuel that become uncontrollable if the engine fails drive through populated areas, and by the common clay of the west no less! Economics trumps safety, it’s all about the trade off our society is willing to make. And our society is willing to make some pretty huge ones.

I for one would not be worried about a slightly higher possibility of getting hit by a falling plane, unless this system was provably very unreliable or something.
This behavior could be explained in a lot fewer words in a Rust tutorial, too. The investigation itself is kind of interesting and learning to use profiling tools is valuable. It's still more verbose than my preference, and I don't love the style. Still. This and K&R are very different kinds of material.
OpenWRT enables people to build mesh networks. I helped building some by being part of a Freifunk community and it was a great feeling - you get to tinker around with network stuff and in doing so help others (free wifi for everyone, yay!).

Not sure if there are any genuine games for the subject, but HackTheBox (labs and academy) have some very fun challenges that will force you to learn a decent bit about networking along the way. I personally feel I learn the most about networking messing around with a homelab, VMs or GNS3/Packet Tracer. Try and get a DHCP server setup, then connect clients, then subnet, then give it some vulnerabilities and find a reason to sniff traffic with wireshark. Each layer and protocol is its own beast so there's a lot to learn, I find it best to immerse in it all and understand how they interconnect.
Been doing this since 2010, a few races a year. It's racing that makes fun of racing, and is focused on fun. You can take it seriously if you want, but you don't have to. (The only thing they take seriously is safety!)

Smartphones are what you put into them. You don't have to spend every waking minute scrolling.

IMO, the unpleasantness of mobile web usage does a great job of discouraging me from walking around with my face buried in my phone. For me, the phone is more of a multi-purpose tool: camera, alarm clock, timer, calendar, weather radar, hotspot for my laptop, navigator, music player, etc. - and I don't care much to use it for random surfing. At most, I might look up something while I'm shopping.

Still, that single phone replaces a whole slew of single-purpose devices. Does it replace them perfectly? No, not at all, but my pockets only have so much room.
Wondering if there would be an "easier" way to express something in biology/evolution, then the evolution would (already) compressed it like that.

Maybe by definition: current existing things in evolution are not "more compressable" (for us) without losing meaning? (Their meaning could be estimated though through -leaky- abstractions?)

When I was quite young, I remember visiting a website on a public library machine (probably running Windows 98 at the time) which mistakenly downloaded a .com file instead of showing a page. I opened the .com (expecting it to be the file I wanted to read), and instead got a console window that showed some gibberish and then started up the printer.

Surprisingly, the random text in the program was interpreted as valid program code. I was too young to understand exactly what had happened at the time, but now I understand it's because one of the valid forms of .com programs is a headerless chunk of x86 code for DOS, and I guess that website's output just happened to (a) not immediately crash and (b) invoke the DOS service for printing.
Ask HN: Do on-prem ATS/HRMS software solutions exist anymore?
I work for a non profit company with almost 1000 people with some strict security policies and we are looking into a on-prem HR solution that can be deployed on company's network. A google search returns a lot of options but it is not easy to find a conclusive list. So I ask the hacker news crowd if they have used a HR solution that can be deployed on prem and is simple to manage? We are looking for features with recruitment, talent, time reporting and career management. Does these solutions match some of the better known cloud offerings like ceridian, workday etc?
I generally agree, but there have been some really great ones. For All Mankind (from Apple) is in my opinion fantastic, and I don't think could have been done well without a big budget. Also from Apple, Ted Lasso was very good.

I‘ve read a few dosen value investing books and would advise to read Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green. It has a bit of a sketchy title but is actually a very good summary. The takeaway is: if you are as dedicated as these value investors and want to pick stocks then go and pick stocks, but for most people index funds are probably the way to go. The book also talks a bit about philanthropy.

Most importantly it talks about the mindset that you need for good financial planning. A very long-term and patient mindset. People who prefer to spend more than they own, for example, will not be suited for investing since they typically can’t wait long enough.

Id agree with you here. I didn't offer any substantial criticism or engage with the articles points. I'm just throwing shade at articles with intense ideology-jargon, which isn't the best thing to do.

However, do you think ideological language is a predictor of a valid, fact-based take on an issue, or the opposite? I'd be hard pressed to say "more ideology -> more empirical validity", but maybe they're orthogonal

"However, I would also (anecdotally) say that the teen culture in Germany around drinking is healthier and less prone to binging than in America."

There are huge local differences. In my youth and hometown, it was definitely binge drinking - and we just followed tradition. But what I learned of other areas, was actually quite similar. Healthy alcohol consumption was rather the exception, but there is a trend towards it.

And I have not been to the US to directly compare, but I cannot really say that I experienced "intergenerational knowledge transfer about responsible alcohol usage" in germany. That is, my father does not drink, because my grandfather drank too much. Does this count? Otherwise I just know too many families with at least one alcoholic and some on the way.
And teenage drinking is just something teens are expected to do and the parents just try to limit the extremes. But many would be actually worried if their children never drank, because it might mean, they are isolated oddballs.

Programming languages typically operate in middle of one higher/ one lower order level of logic.

DNA describes hyperbolic multi-level of logic.

The lowest level programming language (assembly) is designed to

map/correspond/translate directly to hardware electronic bits.

Where, cpu emulates version of turing machine on assembly instructions.

And cpu/hardware is under control of OS ( post-pc boot strap ).

---

The mapping between hardware & assembler may static (compiled) or

interpreted in real-time into a sequence of boolean AND's and OR's.

At the assembly programming language level, the programming language

'TERMINAL' construct is 1:1 with hardware. Such abstractions typically

conveyed using BNF and/or various calculi such epsilon and lambda.

As one progresses through higher level programming lanugages, have to

work one's way through more and more non-ternmal instructions (aka grammar)

to get to just the TERMINAL value to access that 1:1 mapping to 'run'.

---

Given constraints on article length, going to reduce the bodies hyperbolic geometry

descriptions down to a simplified analytic geometric analogy via bodies largest organ -- the skin.

Can look at the skin as mobious strip where, gi tract is internal side compliment of external skin.

Organs can be views as klein bottle chained together & interact/influence each other (per flow through

klein bottle opening and/or perfusion of klein bottle surface.

Scaling down the cline bottle to cell & simplfied 2d spread sheet -- side a, side b and how progress between a & b.

The external/internal enzymes, dna, vitimins/minerals etc influence what happens on the spreadsheet

via dna bnf / 4 symbol autonoma system and/or L-system.

internal function calls equivalent to specific inter-cel functions per triggered by cell resources.

Obviously, organs/cells need 'external function calls/libraries' to work, which are not covered here.

While loops / if loops defined by enzyme/protines/etc created by dna interpretations. aka

while enough protine a exist -> create enzyme b. IF enzyme asdf exists -> create protine 1234

---

So, dna can be viewed as a type of turing machine aka has if / while / etc.. forms of expression.

the rest of the body is just a lambda calculi / epsion calculi / process calclui interpreter/executor.

DNA as the ultimate hyperbolic turing paper tape version of the Zark king[0]

Sarcasm aside, capitalism at work, really nothing to see here. They'll lose employees from the demand to work in office for the various reasons, and maybe it'll affect their bottom line, and maybe they'll learn some lessons.
