> Our skillset becomes so uniquely tied to the company we work at that replacing a veteran engineer would take more than a year minimum. The differences between operations at two hospitals is probably minuscule compared to two tech companies.

Companies/managers have gotten alot smarter about this. The strategy is to hire enough and be managed to a degree such that the operation of any single system is never left leave to any single engineer.

So if your company is smart, yes you are replaceable.
> Isn’t the legality of web scraping still..disputed?

Are you suggesting it might be illegal to... write a program that connects to a web server and asks for a specific page, and then parses that page to see which resources it wants and which other pages it links to, and treats those links in some special fashion, differently from the text content of the page?

Especially given that a web server can be configured to respond to any request with a "403 Forbidden" response, if the server determines for any reason whatsoever that it does not want to give the client the page it requested?
Yep, the sensor would need to be buried/encased in a mat. The club needs to make contact with the mat realistically (i.e. like taking a divot on a real grass surface).

Most launch monitors today use high cameras or doppler radar. Neither of them really works without a ball. The difference between a good shot and a crap shot is a few millimetres. The technology can measure a bit of data from the club alone (club speed, angle of attack) but that's not enough to accurately extrapolate actual ball flight, since it's all about the quality of the contact of club on ball before ground.

> Of the brawls I've been in since then, usually with the homeless or drug addled while out on the town, de-escalation has never worked. I've been in bars where you can't talk someone down. Do you know how long it took for the police to arrive when a homeless guy started a fight with me for no reason? After giving the guy what he deserved I escaped to safety to call the police/medical.

I don't know you but there might be another way. I've interacted with many, many people who appeared unhoused (I usually don't ask people about their homes); I've never had a problem or a hint of violence. I've never been in a brawl or been close to being in one. Violence is easy to avoid IME.

> You can't de-escalate someone who is determined to harm you. ... There are bad people everywhere.

I've never encountered someone determined to harm me, afaik, and if that's how we define bad people, they are very rare. Humans are social creatures - just stand on a sidewalk downtown in a busy city - look at all the people getting along peacefully, being polite, helping each other. Logically, if you think of humans a bears - lone, anti-social creatures - then the danger makes sense, but very few people live on their own, away from other humans, like bears. We are social creatures, evolved since our proto-chimpanzee days to live harmoniously in groups, to only function even on a fundamental cognitive level when we are with other humans (solitary confinement drives people insane and is considered torture).

> You are universally safer by knowing how to fight and never using it than not knowing how to fight at all.

I'm universally safer knowing how to fly a plane, because what if a pilot is incapacitated? However, I don't need to plan for that.
Barry Lyndon is probably my favorite (or at least, the one I appreciate the most) of Kubric's films when it comes to his perfectionism, but perfectionism alone isn't a great metric for the resulting film:

> Cimino shot more than 1.3 million feet (400,000 metres; nearly 220 hours) of footage, costing the studio approximately $200,000 per day in salary (equivalent to $720,000 in 2022), locations and acting fees.Privately, it was joked that Cimino wished to surpass Francis Ford Coppola's mark of shooting one million feet of footage for Apocalypse Now (1979).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(film)#Product...

Heaven's Gate isn't even all that great to look at. There's still the matter of taste involved, and well, Cimino made some questionable decisions.
Incidentally, the sample code, in modern Ruby will (at a minimum) require:

Jesus, that’s one of those ideas that looks good to an engineer but is why you really need to hire someone with a social sciences background (sociology, anthropology, psychology, literally anyone who’s work includes humans), and probably should hire two, so the second one can tell you why the first died of an aneurism after you explained your idea.

That homelessness is a public execution in slow motion.
Because governments are terrible at actually implementing such rules, and the whole point of free (or somewhat free) markets is for us to have the power to decide for ourselves.

With regards to labelling, I 100% agree companies should be making it clear what is in the stuff we buy. Again, though, that can be done by consumers if we actually care enough. Sticking with natural materials is a great start, whole foods instead of processed foods and wool or cotton instead of plastic/petroleum clothing, for example.

As a former warehouse volunteer at VCF in Wall, NJ, I can attest that this blog post consists of only conjecture and no facts.

Everything was checked for archiving. Everything was offered to anyone who would listen for over a year. Most of the paper found a good home. In fact, a better home as the warehouse is near the ocean and has no climate control. Not a good place to donate paper. It should never have been donated and should never have been accepted (under previous management).

I was actually there. Nothing in this blog post is factual.
Interesting how porn seems to run with technologically 2-3 years ahead of other “industries”. This is nice if this leads to less exploitation of humans … bad if this leads to more social isolation / depression.

> I thought with inheritance you meant generic styles on elements like "p", "ul", etc... getting applied across separate components

Yes, so I mean if you add "color: blue" to "p", it's now going to start interacting with any element that's a child of "p" (which will probably be on all pages on your website so hard to predict and check what will happen).

BEM and Tailwind don't get rid of the behaviour of the color being applied to child elements, but it at least forces you to isolates these kinds of style changes to the component level (vs sitewide) which is what improves maintainability.
The quote I come back to repeatedly is "the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy" as it perfectly describes the Moderator Problem.

There are people who ask questions. You need questions but questions come with an audience. You can argue a well-crafted question is better than a bad one but it's not really an issue. The site only has value if the answers are there and they're good. This is the real value of answerers.

In my mind, moderators are the janitors. Yes, that job is important. You need to clean up tags, fix misspellings or bad grammar, remove low value questions and answers but the scope really is pretty limited. But there is a certain personality type that gets attracted to moderation that, if left unchecked, is completely toxic. Instead of cleaning up answers they decide to set policy. "Subjective" questions were one of the first big targets.

It requires constant vigilance for the moderators not to get completely out of hand. Wikipedia is a really great exmaple of this.

Toxic moderators love solving imaginary problems. The argument for closing "subjective" questions was they didn't want it to descend into a flamewar. Thing is, that never happened. And if it did, you just delete the relevant comments and answers. There is absolutely no need for a site-wide ban on "subjective" questions. It's a complete non-problem.

- There aren't any actual examples of what the tool does, what it looks like, why i need it.
I'm not a lawyer and the proper answer is likely state-dependent, but why not?

It's well established that with an appropriate warrant, LEO have always been able to come into your house without telling you and add hidden surveillance bugs to listen on your communications; they have always been allowed to physically modify or replace your phone (e.g. physical phone wiretaps a century ago); Electronic Communications Privacy Act reasserts that this applies also to electronic surveillance and digital communications; so (as a non-expert) I don't really see why that wouldn't apply to smartphone exploits as well. We do see exploits being applied to devices in LEO possession (e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/14/22383957/fbi-san-bernadin... for one random example) to recover evidence.

The main restriction is the constitutional limits of 4th amendment which requires specific warrants for each case - which is a significant practical obstacle, so the circumstances in which warrantless wiretapping is permitted (e.g. by PATRIOT act) is a contentious issue; however, it's not relevant if a proper warrant is obtained.

> There also isn't one for "w", yet we get by with that as a letter.

Warning: Tangential rant ahead.

I'm teaching my toddler to read (Distar alphabet).

Even with the modified alphabet, it's a chore to "know" how to pronounce a letter.

'a' has at least 4 different pronunciations in words used by toddlers: apple, came, eat, bread.

All the vowels are like that, and even some consonants ('y' has at the very least: baby, yesterday, cycle, buy)

The only well-behaved letter in English is 'x': pronounced the same wherever you see it, as 'cks'[1].

[1] For toddlers, anyway. I doubt a 4-year old would be interested in LaTeX :-)
I've lived in Germany and the UK, I guess I wrongly assumed it was like this everywhere in Europe. Might also be related to the social environment.

Having a running record on how those buffers and connections are used is always helpful. Percona’s PMM looks great in that sense. But in general tracking those metrics (and more) in your time series based monitoring, whatever solution it is has been pretty useful to me.

Okay, we are on the same page then -- sorry. Yep, I generally agree with this.
There's strategy and there's reality though. They got other people to "operate" the thing, but "operate as well" is sometimes a pipe dream, which erodes the meaning of "replaceable".
I agree with you but I think the key point here is "go home tired and then actually sleep" which is not often the case. After a stressful day as a software engineer or other white collar job, your body is not tired. Mentally you might be tired but that just leads to doomscrolling and social media and other dopamine hits. The key point here is that one should ideally be physically tired so that after they go home they want to sleep. This is why, for example, after a stressful day I make my body tired with a long run.

As a Microsoft SQL user (not everyone can choose their DB..), UUIDv7 has the issue that people will (understandably, but ignorantly) store it in "uniqueidentifier", which shuffles bytes around and are no longer sorted on time... ..

There is even a specific Microsoft SQL-time-ordererd UUID format which is sorted after byte shuffling..

We store ULID in binary(16). Works nicely. Only difference from UUIDv7 is the version bits..

I'll postulate a semi-secret, conspiratorial reason for research: National security!!!

Uh, sure, maybe nearly all the research is junk, but tough to PROVE that it's junk and will forever remain junk. Soooo, instead, suddenly some day some research might be revolutionary, powerful enough to affect national security. E.g., one of those math profs working in number theory or modular forms, what can look like really goofy research, 2000 year old number theory questions, might suddenly break all the encryption!!! Or maybe a physics prof will work out quantum gravity, dark matter, or dark energy with big consequences.

Soooo, each country that can afford it wants to be out at the frontiers either doing that research or at least being able to understand it if some other country does it first. And if not national security, then the national economy.

Soooo, in the committee rooms and offices in Congress, maybe something like "Remember the bomb, the atom BOMB!!! We can't risk falling behind." Or, as J. B. Conant supposedly once said, "... have so many funding sources that they can never all be turned off at the same time". Sooo, have NSF, DARPA, DoE, NRL, .... Right, we can't understand the papers, but the researchers are in an intense competition, trying their best to do good research, to the extent that anyone knows what good research is. And, the profs don't get paid very well -- the research is cheap. Soooo, have grants to MIT, Harvard, Cornell, Cal Tech, etc. Have national labs, LLL, Brookhaven, etc. Pass out the money and relax that we aren't going to be blind sided by Russia, China, ....

"Besides, a fraction of the grants is taken by the colleges as overhead so that we are also supporting higher education!" I suggest that Congress can think that way!

And, in the game between the US and Russia, publishing openly is essentially a saddle point: If we don't publish, then they won't publish and we won't have their results to build on and they might get ahead of us without our knowing it.

From the content of the email, I get the impression that it's just a honeypot. Also I'm not seeing any delays in the content being returned.

A tarpit is different because it's designed to slow down scanning/scraping and deliberately waste an adversary's resources. There are several techniques but most involve throttling the response (or rate of responses) exponentially.
I wonder how widely the isotopic signature method could be applied. Precious metals don't tend to ever get thrown away. Could we trace the flow of all gold and silver throughout history?

Those are usually connection and no-data timeouts. A total time limit is in my experience less common.

The crazy thing is, we now have "Dr. Know" from AI, and nothing is really stopping us from building that bear. Nothing but battery life, I guess.
Was looking at purchasing a PC laptop for a staff member today and was surprised just how much better Apple products are in the current M generation of devices. Better screens, no fans, better battery, better performance … surprising there is not much competition. If you take a Dell XPS and add OLED screen and higher resolutions … quickly find your self near $2,000 with a device that still has less battery life, runs hotter, and although may match or exceed raw numeric performance … is still arguably not as versatile or as good a machine.
My thing is, that a true alternative would atleast offer the same features at the same price point. I’d also a registered non profit: even better.

> TLDR:

> For S16 deltas, bias by 0x8080 , for S32 deltas, bias by 0x80808080.

> De-interleaving multi-byte integers into homogenous streams can help, particularly with weaker back-end compressors.

> TLDR:

> For floats, just reinterpret F32 as U32.

> If the floats have a mix of positive and negative, convert the sign bit to two's-complement signed S32.

> Consider lossy elimination of negative zero -0.f

> If you didn't actually want the huge precision for floats near zero, a simple lossy encoding is just to do float += constant, which works for non-negative floats where you don't know the high end of the range so you can't just use fixed point.

> TLDR:

> The best way to compress numeric data that is larger than bytes (F32,F16,S32,S16) is usually to delta them in their original size integer, then de-interleave after the delta.

> Sometimes no filter or no deinterleave is best, particularly with stronger compressors, so being able to select filter on/off per-file can give big wins.

Not sure why the EV aspect is being amplified in the HN submission, or even why the EV blog is covering it in the first place.
Seems a bit aggrandized. Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, climate change, app-tier pricing packages.

You are very likely providing a thin layer on an LLM which does summarization based on criteria. It would be reasonable if that's either a few-shot approach ($0, one time) or a fine-tuned model ($6 - $9 per million tokens, one time), plus the running costs ($0.0001 - $0.01 per run) for llama2 3-70b or gpt3.5-turbo-instruct.

Is there any additional USP, like have you used a data set sourced from hires in specific market sectors to know what parts of a resume really enhance or hurt the chances? A similar study on ATS/real filters would be also be a USP. Or another USP could be that it's super easy to use - drop a resume in, Apple Pay $1, it's done. I'm not seeing a lot of value if I can discuss my resume with ChatGPT and other assistants for free to get a second perspective.

Best of luck, of course.
I would back "blank" as the most likely to be understood by the other person.
I can see how it causes problems, but I don't really see any alternatives for certain properties. Would you want to set the color property on every element that contains text? Or do something with the universal selector?
This could be achieved by generating embeddings of suitable representations of the categories once, and then embedding the content at runtime, before using some distance metric to find matching categories for the content embedding.
