Here they would ask you (unless dementia and not arranged, which is an ongoing issue) if you want more morphine and you can keep saying yes until you don’t wake up. Or click the button yourself; there is no limit (also; very hackable these limiting machines). Probably many people in a long decline would just hold the button until not waking up; that is the way it should be. Some people worry about the gov making us wear masks; I worry about govs preventing me from getting out when I want to. Not your fucking business mate.
It may be probabilistic in tx matching but you can simulate every transaction precisely.

Not sure I understand the latter argument.
Interesting. From a user experience, Firefox for iPhone has been a really excellent app, it’s been my preferred browser for years.
Exactly right. And depending on how deep the “dip” goes and how long it lasts, few people have the stomach to “hodl”.
> Just 'cause you're using the tool (Jira) does not mean you're automagically using the process (Scrum).

Absolutely. No tool can successfully make the process. Its job is to make the process easier.

> That might be the value of a good Scrum-Master. I've yet to see a good Scrum-Master in the wild.

Let me share a secret. I'm a trained and certified Scrum Master. You're spot on about it being a way of approaching things more than anything else. Software development is in large part an exercise in complexity management, and the Agile approach is fundamentally a very useful way of conceptualizing how to manage complexity at a very high level of abstraction.

But as practiced, I've soured on it quite a lot. The ideal is... ahem... ideal, but what we tend to see is kind of a funhouse mirror version of it that, at best, isn't helping. Different flavors of Agile are better (Kanban) or worse (Scrum) about this, but it affects all to one degree or another.
Indeed politics, culture and posturing can be strong incentives that change the economics balance.

If the Roman empire had one thing as advanced as our modern states that wasn't technology per se but the politics, the politicking the perverse incentives to do something to show for and a public whose murmur mattered.

If some city official decided to impress visitors with some smooth roads perhaps he found a solution that wasn't strictly the best economically but perhaps it had other advantages that helped him getting a promotion?
The effect on the route is immediate. There is no installation or integration so the moment you deploy (with a reasonable fleet size) you have data. Those that where quick to understand the concept embraced technology very fast even without initial data set in the route
> in those cases you absolutely do need full time DevOps engineers to tune, configure, and deploy these fleets

At that point, it sounds like you're just doing ops work.

Ask HN: Best books/courses to learn Java core+advanced?
This is my first time teaching. I just graduated in 2020 and have been working as a production support engineer.

These are the subjects that I am assigned to teach(each in odd and even semesters)

- Java(object oriented concepts+core java+advanced java)

This is a 2 semester course

Sample contents with reference books here:

https://csitprogram.blogspot.com/2012/08/csc-403-advanced-java-programming.html

- Data Structures and Algorithms(with practical labs in java)

This is also a 2 semester courses, this is not "java"ic, but I am going to make them do the labs in java as per the syllabus.

I am going through couple of books:

- Y. Daniel Liang

- Herbert Schildt

- Car S. Horstmann, Core Java Volume I and II – Advanced Features, 8th Edition, 2008, Prentice Hall.

- Y. Daniel Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, 9th Edition, Comprehensive Version, Pearson/ Prentice Hall.

- H. Deitel, P. Deitel. Java How to Program. 7th Edition, 2007, Prentice Hall.

Any guidance? This semester, I will be teaching java OOPs/basics, next semester it'll be advanced java then data structures and algorithms in another 2 semesters.

PS I feel I myself need to revise my java concepts, so feel free to recommend books/courses to me. I will try my best to do justice to the students who paid tons of money for these classes as this will shape their Software engineering future.
Class warfare by manufacturing consent instigating divide-and-conquer and promotion of ideas against one's own best interests. Similar to how Fox News radicalized the working poor to also hate immigrants, homeless, and the disabled in America.
Long ago, I implemented that by pragma no-cache and checking the referrer. It wasn’t perfect but it worked for most users.
You'll be surprised, I think the best codebase I ever contributed to is the Rust compiler, which is being built by a huge distributed team.

Despite it being complex and me being in there for the first time, I could quickly track down a bug in the parser and fix it. As a cherry on top the communication around the pull request was top notch too.
Full stop would be even worse. Apostrophe would be runner up...

Always the seemingly simple solutions have most issues in real world... At some level still trying to edit stuff by hand might be where we have gone wrong for long time. Why don't we have any sensible agreed structured format for which tools would be on all and every device...
"Very old 1920s tubes also used direct cathodes (but used a huge amount of heater power)."

Yeah, and not-so-old ones too (that is, ones designed in the 1940s). I've a couple of 100TH power triodes whose directly heated thoriated tungsten cathodes consume just over 30 Watts (5V @ 6.3A) yet their plate dissipation is only around 100W. That's pretty miserable efficiency. (They look very pretty when working though.)

You're right about jumping through hoops, circuis become messy and contorted. Also, there's the messy business of eliminating AC filament hum, thus the commonplace practice of using a humdinger circuit on directly-heated triodes such as the 2A3.

Nearly instant turn on can also be a disadvantage when they're used as rectifiers. Tubes like 80, 5Y3G, 5R4G, etc. supply HT long before loading occurs from the indirectly heated ones. In unregulated or poorly designed power supplies it can put additional strain on the PS's electrolytic capacitors.

I've often wondered why rectifiers, especially low power one like those mentioned, remained so popular for so long—or why it took so long for indirectly-heated, unipotential cathode tubes such as the 6X4 to become popular. Cost and ease of manufacturing I suppose.
I doubt the global head of support for a major bank is seen as a lowly peasant
Last I checked David Blair's in the field, what with the sapphire clock development and his son being part of the 14 September 2015 first detection event.

IIRC David talked about his niobium bar from 1976 as a first generation gravity wave detector - we certainly referred to it as a gravity wave detector in 1982 and it was talked about as such at the fifth Marcel Grossmann meeting.

But hey, you're a LIGO member.
It's an open source project, with a good discussion of the technical issues on GitHub[1]. Probably linked to certain user behaviors, like having hundreds of tabs open, but surely also contingent on the complexity of wedging a browser in iOS. Like maneuvering an excavator into a sandbox.

Nothing with Linux or Windows approaches the battery life.

simply not true!

My Lenovo T470 has two batteries.

I get 12 hours of life with it running all day. I also have a spare battery to take with me on long journeys and I just replace the main battery if it runs low without shutting it down.

lenovo designed this range of laptop with an inner and an external battery so you did not have to shut the laptop down if the main battery ran low.

You literally use magic like that all the time with Linux, compilers, language runtimes. Magic is perfectly good when it works. Being able to do anything you want with a quick “presto” is amazing. Nobody should have to learn arcane spells, study the ancient tomes, and communicate with beings of the ethereal plane - somebody just needs to figure out the next “presto”. And historically speaking, usually somebody does when there’s an incentive to do so.

In other words - Serverless is another platform team in the same way Linux is another OS team or Java is another language team. And for 99.9% of companies a language team or OS team would be absurd. There’s a big incentive for platform work to go the same way.
I'm old enough to have been told I should get off emacs and start using Atom because it's the future ^tm on here around 2016. Since then the only thing that's changed is that I'm using more responsive emacs configuration and I've figured out how to use shiftL and shiftR for `()'.

When people ask why you should use old software this is it. You learn it one and it runs forever.
Multi-GPU is dead for the consumer so at least it only has to be one
Combined with their second sentence that aims to discredit and erase an entire era / approach as crackpot, the implication is that this is indeed the "correct" way. There may be a lingering fear that the historical false detection claim could still tarnish the entire field but it feels overblown. This thread is about exploring "new ways" and it is very instructive to know and study the "old ways".
1. The price drop for batteries has been huge. They are down to 3000 EUR where I live.

2. Domestic solar is just a way to save money. If you bought more than you need then you wasted money. A typical consumer would be fine with 10 kwp system + 10kwh battery which in Europe costs now less than 20,000 EUR.
We take up running to get fit and then spend hundreds of dollars on footwear to reduce the effort it takes to run. People are funny :)
> Favor is given to proven, predictable technologies and choices

I feel like this goes two ways too. Sometimes people favor technologies they’ve used before, regardless of how many problems they know it causes.

If it’s predictable that certain tech will cause you issues years down the line, do not choose it again.
Nobody decides to pursue their pro sports dream out of pragmatism or a career. They do it because its their calling and they don't care about the odds. They know that a fractional percentage will achieve the highest highs, and they go forth anyway.
We had to give incentives for the first airline partners and give the product for free for a long trial period at the early years to be able to have initial installs. It was a long ride including Covid which came in the middle and didn't help. In the last years since we have several big airline partners this is less of a problem.

I don't think it is a good idea to run psych wards but without doctors and nurses and calling it something else to avoid moral responsibility.

But fundamentally it seems to me that shelters are just that. Really bad psych wards that no sane homeless person would set their foot in.

Clickfarms in Asia already use entire hangars of mobile phones to fake traffic.
I agree but would add that within the codebase there are also vastly different experiences. The search ads serving stack for example is phenomenal, it is >10 years old, very complex and gets contributions from hundreds of engineers every week, yet it is quite easy to understand what is going on anywhere and it has great performance. But I also had to work with other code which had been through 3 rewrites, none of which had ever been totally completed, so there were overlapping paradigms everywhere and working with it was just a nightmare. Tests never caught anything leading to several post mortems.

We were going to do this. Get several months to set up a clean base for our new system with only the four most competent people working on it.

Then I went on vacation for a week.

Come back to a system that needs to be delivered to prod next month with 20 randos submitting PR’s…

WTF happened. Did you learn nothing from previous failures?
I think this accentuates the reality though.

Remember when Obama won? The Republican Party was at a morale nadir, and they rallied together under the banner “1 term president”. They fought every single thing.

Mitt Romney had to oppose his own Medicare plan, which the democrats adopted so that they could find common ground.

Obama winning was probably the last gasp of the system working as it was intended.
There are plans upon plans to ensure the system can never do that. That agencies are weakened, courts are stacked, local elections won, media narratives perfected. It’s tempting to say this is to ensure the “libs” lose, but that only plays back into a narrative and camouflages the issue.

Effective, logical government is itself the problem.

I think that someone is paying attention to the details, to the org charts, to the minutiae of laws, and making a coordinated effort to move things in a single direction.

I dont think what you described counts as idealism anymore.

AskHN: Somewhat related to the topic at hand, I'm curious to know how much time do you spend sitting down and reading something?

I mean, not while you're on the train to work, or sitting in a waiting room - but actual dedicated time for reading?

I know that ever since I became a parent, I basically have zero time to do that anymore. I used to read lots of magazines, tech or other, in the afternoon. Books, not so much during the day, but usually in bed before turning off the lights - but even this has pretty much come to a halt: my habits have changed, and now I go to bed when I'm too exhausted to stay up anymore, and wouldn't be able to actually read something.

But I know that lots of people love reading books (it's not that I don't...), and you know, there's the whole curling up on the couch in the winter with a hot chocolate and good book kind of stuff...

Microsoft CEO of AI Your online content is 'freeware' fodder for training models
Here’s the thing. To become a top athlete/Classical Musician requires a literal lifetime of training. Unless you are an extreme outlier of latent prodigal talent, you must start as soon as humanly possible.

And then throughout this training journey you will be subjected to multiple wash-out/filter tests.

The mass of children get filtered out very quickly — genetic predisposition (aka Talent) is either there or it isn’t. Surviving this purge awards you with the words that will curse and haunt you forever: “You’re so talented!”

By the time you hit pro, you have survived multiple of these events. It is now your identity, your ego. And now in the open waters of competition, it just boils down to “train harder” and “do better”. Maybe next year is the year you finally breakout. What’s to stop you and why stop now? You don’t understand what it means to give up. Giving up is how all the others got washed out years ago. You didn’t wash out. You got the scholarships, the state championships, the mentions in local media. You deserve to be there and Glory is just within reach…

Besides. “You’re so talented!”

By the time you finally hit The Wall and the results show that there is a much bigger fish out in this pond, it’s too late. What are you supposed to do now? You skipped all regular education to get here. You sacrificed your whole life! Your parents paid a fortune.

Besides. It will be a massive waste of “talent.”

And so it goes. Maybe you can swallow enough ego to become a high school tennis coach. Maybe you will be able to be the one who picks the next Federer or Williams. Then you will vicariously finally get your glory and honor and fame.

Because you were talented. It’s what you deserved.

And you will spend your whole life chasing it.
Trusting your keys to someone else is already a terrible idea. Anything increasing the importance of those keys is doubling down. Please keep these ideas to yourself.

George Gamow found a way to dramatize how unpromising Teller’s Super had proven to be. John McPhee reports the story as Los Alamos physicist Theodore Taylor remembered it. “One day, at a meeting of people who were working on the problem of the fusion bomb . . . Gamow placed a ball of cotton next to a piece of wood. He soaked the cotton with lighter fuel. He struck a match and ignited the cotton. It flashed and burned, a little fireball. The flame failed completely to ignite the wood, which looked just as it had before—unscorched, unaffected. Gamow passed it around. It was petrified wood. He said, ‘That is where we are just now in the development of the hydrogen bomb.’

My wisdom of commenting is people will always latch in to the worst parts, so you either have to commit to the worst things you write or write in a more bland way.

Regarding your comment I have the same issue with how badly engineers simplifies science, but they usually have a to noble view of themselves being ignorant of what they ignore. Having discussions which offends people needs to be done in a trustfull way even then it is hard, I usually sound like a dimwit or a twat.
I dunno. ChatGPT is still ridiculously good as a search engine. Learning a new language now is a completely different experience for me. I've recently found myself putting something into Google, realising there is nothing of value in the first page if results and taking my question to ChatGPT instead. It's answers might not be correct, and man is it confident about things it just made up, but it is still a much better experience than clicking though ad laden blogspam, forums and question boards to find the same information.
And that's why we have insane laws. Because of people saying stuff like "our food shouldn't contain allergens" and spewing vague nonsense about evil profitmongers, while enabling demagogues who promote insane schemes built to inflame ignoramuses, like prop 65.

Virtually anything can be an allergen, and a lot of chemicals, given enough concentration and bad luck, can lead to cancer or birth defects. So ignoramuses demand laws that mark any chemical that can be reasonably thought of harming anyone in any circumstance possible in theory, and then blame corporations when the outcome is disastrous.
