Back when I worked on mod_pagespeed we wrote shell scripts for our end-to-end tests. This was expedient when getting started, but then we just kept using it long past when we should have switched away. At one point I got buy-in for switching to python, but (inexperience) I thought the right way to do it was to build up a parallel set of tests in python and then switch over once everything had been ported. This, of course, didn't work out. If I were doing this now I'd do it incrementally, since there's no reason you can't have a mix of shell and python during the transition.

I count 10k lines of hand-written bash in the system tests:

$ git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-pagespeed-mod.git
$ git clone git@github.com:apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx.git
$ find incubator-pagespeed-* | \
grep sh$ | \
grep system_test | \
xargs cat | \

There is no sane reason to restrict violence to the immediate physical. If you destroy someone's livelihood, e.g. by forcing them into bankruptcy, they will have to leave their home and give up their assets. What if they don't? They must because there is a threat of force behind the act.

Destroying someone's livelihood is nothing else than asking someone to give up the resources they collected over time under the threat of force: if they refuse, they will have the police to talk to.

And if they do not listen to the police, the police have guns.

That is violence.
Ah Birmingham. A place full of simple well meaning folk, where little is done, and a few misplaced geniuses trying to make ends meet. Much lovelier people than in london, but a backward place full of well intentioned mistakes. Sort of like the play area of an old fashioned rest home. Really relaxed, but nothing going on. A purgatory if you will.
The correct course of action is to stop the interference before the people vote. Once they vote, the will of the people has been revealed, the ruling party is a sore loser, and you've lost your chance.
thank you! some models either have N/A or 0.00, I found it is like that for the free models and ones that aren't available.

Yes, skip-index scans require custom sql now.

I am also a bit annoyed by cache-like uses not being first-class. Unlogged tables get you far, temporary tables are nice, but still all this feels like a hurdle, awkward and not what you actually need.
As a (former) manager of a department in a design school, I defined three managerial imperatives:

1. Get rid of old, dead wood. Given that our program is scaffolded, with each course building upon the preceding, A single low performing lecturer can bring down the quality of an entire program. Don’t trust student feedback when identifying such people. They favour nice lecturers over effective ones. Getting rid of low performing team members in a university can be a low process. It can sometimes be quicker to find programs they would be happier/more productive in, and engineer a transfer.

2. Hire effective new blood. Well duh, I hear you say. Finding good new hires can be a difficult task. For those who I really wanted to hire, I did my research on who they were and what they might want, and tried to show them that I was willing to build a nest for them.

3. Have a vision of what the department should be. This vision requires constant maintenance and should always consider input from the team.
> At the very least your parents need to tolerate you, because you depend on them for living during your early years. So early on it is a simple survival necessity.

Yep, and even a slight degradation of that trust that your parents that are necessary for your survival will protect you can have devastating, life-long psychological effects. And indeed everything can be traced back to that.

Perhaps controversial but I think this is the origin of most religion: baby is protected by infinitely powerful parents, child has shocking and painful revelation that their parents are not infinitely powerful and have all kinds of insecurities and weakness, therefore a forever infallible representative (e.g. God) is constructed to fill in that gap.

But I think that's just one way to fill the gap, and people engage in all kinds of strange, obsessive behaviours to try and reclaim that illusion of eternal protection and safety.

> We don't like violence.

Why not? Violence is a tool like any other, and our entire western society is predicated on it. We are cogs in a corporate-run state and if we don't like it, there is the police force. If we get evicted, the police is there to tell us to stop sleeping on the bench. If we don't listen, they have the guns. The underlying systemic violence of our society is rampant.

Personally, while I neither like nor dislike violence, it can be a useful tool in revolutions where the state has become incompatible with the needs of the majority.
Good points. Thanks for the corrections.

Why would we needs censorship?

Leaving the topic of these specific elections, and discussing how these operations work-

Censorship isn’t the offensive tool.

You flood an information ecosystem with specific data, and you crowd other information out.

The primary sin in similar discussions is usually the assumption that the best ideas win in the market place of ideas.

This is definitely not the case, because that competition of ideas assumes a fair fight.

Current disinformation techniques target disinformation researchers, flood networks, increase mistrust and spread doubt on fact checkers.

—————-

Holmes, who is wrote the Abram’s dissent, which led to the analogy of the market place- didn’t assume that the best ideas would win.

He assumed majoritarian beliefs would often supplant other ideas.

His point was that it’s only through the process that humanity arrives at better ideas.

Today, there have been domestic and International workarounds found to capture and disrupt the fair trade in ideas.

> hence also the name, conflict-free replicated data type

When I was introduced to CRDTs the acronym stood for commutative replicated data types (eg in the paper by Shapiro et al). I prefer this actually, despite it being harder to pronounce.

A conflict is a complicated idea, and while "conflict free" is a technically correct way of describing the result, it can be misleading as evidenced by this post and your comment.

Commutativity is the property that when Bob applies changes in the order [Bob, Alice] and Alice applies changes in the order [Alice, Bob] that they both end up with the same document. It doesn't imply that the document is somehow "free" of "conflicts" in a sense that may be meaningful at a higher level of abstraction.
It is pretty clear that violence is more about coersion, not about hurting someone's feelings.
I think you are sidestepping the argument here.

Tell me, if I outsource the physical act of harm, say by paying someone to beat someone else up, would you say I am not violent?

My point is, when you live on a boat or RV, or traveling around, you don't have a lot of space anyway. So, you will end up at a point where "thing goes in, thing goes out" or you won't have space. Might as well get to that point from the beginning. If you want to keep it, you'll need a friend to send stuff to anyway.

So, if you (somehow) don't have any friends, you won't be able to keep much anyway, except memories.

I built an automated system for warming up Reddit accounts. It started as something needed for my current product, which already works on Reddit to automate user acquisition for businesses, but honestly, it feels like this could stand alone as its own thing.

Here’s how it works: users link their Reddit account, and it automatically logs in, finds random but popular posts, and drops comments. The idea is to make the account look active and earn karma without manual effort / and ensure the comments add value to the community.

This is fully automated.

Who might actually find this useful? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Tesla still has a great many advantages.

Their problem is that their valuation had the market predicting that they would generate a MAJORITY of all profit in US automotive manufacturing - they were worth more than every other player combined. This was grossly unrealistic. So expect a down round. Whether they survive that drop to... What... 5-10% of their former value? Depends on what sort of explicit and implicit dental they have accrued to scale.
A planet formed out of an accretion disk is generally a planet under continued bombardment from further accretion.

The only exception that we know of is our own Solar System. Where Jupiter acts like a vacuum cleaner to reduce material that might hit Earth. We knkw of no other system with both Earth-like planets and gas giants. Given how catastrophic the remaining asteroids have been for us (bye bye dinosaurs), this is unlikely to be a coincidence.

Unless we find a similar arrangement around a white dwarf, the time spent in the habitable zone isn't the only important factor for stability over evolutionary time frames.
> Why do people believe this?

Because there are.

UNH/Elevance/CVS/Cigna/Humana/Centene/Molina are just the biggest publicly listed ones. They might not all offer plans in all states on the exchange, but there’s a decent amount of competition for employer subsidized plans.

The low single digit profit margin proves the competition exists such that the sellers don’t have pricing power to earn a higher profit margin.
yes, even Sinwar had a UN employee's passport with him when he died - if his body couldn't be identified, you'd have been claiming him as an innocent civilian UN teacher doctor.

2 weeks is more time than the 6 days since the election. They could've decided to stop things then. I get what you mean agree it's probably messy with the timings, but one gets the feeling that if you lose you can do all the election fraud you want, which is kind of suss to me because people can use decoy candidates for the fraud and if they lose nobody looks into it.
Yup.

In the US healthcare chain, the ranking of profit margins goes (and this is public info from public financials):

Pharmaceutical companies 20%+

Healthcare software companies (based on other software company margins). 20%+

Healthcare providers (doctor groups)
Hospitals (HCA, tenet, etc) 10%+

Managed care organizations (MCOs, health insurers), retail pharmacies, and medicine distributors at the very bottom. ~2%

Legal is also up there. Those millions and tens of millions of dollar judgments don’t come from thin air.

Go ahead and get rid of MCOs, and at best you will reduce costs by 5%. Their medical loss ratios are 85% to 90%.

They are just allocating the very limited resources among more and more demand. Someone is going to have to be the bad guy unless supply of healthcare is drastically increased and tort reform happens to bring down liability costs.

Show HN: I made personal YouTube SEO AI to save money
I was wondering how some YouTube SEO tools are fooling people that they are using AI to generate titles, tags and hashtags for their channel videos moreover they are paid and have only few free attempts.

This feels incredibly out of touch with reality. Since you mentioned Prague, the average salary in the Czech Republic is roughly $20k per year, and that's the average, plenty of people take home considerably less. You're saying $80k is not enough for more than a year, how do you think all those people manage to get by?
> There is a lot of middle ground between "brushing it off" and cancelling a whole election and throwing the choice of millions of voters to the trash.

If elections are rigged, the results cannot be accepted under any circumstances. Using shady, undeclared capital in elections amounts to cheating and invites outside influence. This is a serious issue because we entrust the governance of nations to those elected by the people.

Democracy only functions if the outcomes cannot be bought. While no system is ever 100% immune to corruption, blatant disregard for election laws cannot be taken lightly.

If irregularities occur, people can vote again. Yes, redoing elections costs time and money, but if voters still choose the same leaders after understanding how they gained power, then that's democracy in action.

For me, the line is very clear because I've seen it blurred so many times in Turkey, where I come from, and I’ve witnessed the devastating consequences.
Good luck if you're thinking about going for it! Learn from my mistakes.
Grocery stores have thin margins because they have competition or threat of it.
I truly don't understand the HN audience.

There are so many better and higher quality submissions in the /newest that never make it to the front page but it's almost always some shallow generic "hobbyist" junk with zero value like this that makes it instead.

No, you're a NIMBY.

The city had to bulldoze the park, because it was probably the only piece of public property it could acquire. It is a response to NIMBYs leaving them no option. If the city could buy 4 adjacent SFH lots and build a tower on it, then parks wouldn't need to be destroyed.

YIMBYism doesn't mean bad urban design. It means more options. Manhattan has plenty of walkable parks. Clearly density and parks aren't at odds with each other.

The fact that the city had to build a massive out-of-proportion tower for students means there was long term unmet demand in the neighborhood.

"Sometime between 410 and 420 AD, Martianus Capella came out with a book saying Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun, while the other planets orbit the Earth!"

Was there ever serious considerations of Capella's model? How do we know it is wrong? For instance, Tycho's model was found to be wrong because, if I remember correctly, some orbits crossed each other and that ruined the theory. Is there such a contradiction with Capella's model?
Violence is only acceptable when it is used by those with more power against those with less.

What a lot of people are missing about this killing is that it signifies the potential of the American public to finally go against the corporate controlling forces of the Western World. But taking even one more step back, it may be the start of a realization that technology is not a completely beneficial force, as it is the only thing that allows the destruction of communities, which forces people to in turn rely on health insurance companies. (The Amish, with a very strong community, don't rely on insurance. They have their own collective sort of insurance: they just pay each other's medical bills.)

Here's my advice to you: this is part of a much larger scheme than just health insurance. What we need after this event is not a mere release of emotions, but a sober philosophical analysis of this event and its placement in the greater scheme of things. If we focus too much on the emotional, we will in a sense be playing into the system, because it will make the killing about revenge. Instead, attempt to understand why this happened and the greater systemic illness in modern capitalism and spread that message.
It's not any less manipulated - there are just more parties doing psychological operations and not just established players. In the case of TikTok, China gets to pick and choose which operations are free to run, and likely picks the ones that are more destabilizing to the US.

> trivial for a human expert is not barely understood by ChatGPT

I try to stay away from these arguments but it's a Saturday, so what the heck! I think this topic is becoming a tired topic now. One party would claim that ChatGPT doesn't "understand". Other party would claim that it's a large statistical model, of course it doesn't "understand". Do you expect your washing machine to "understand" that it's washing clothes? Then there is another party that would claim, rightfully, do we understand what "understanding" is? This has been rinsed and repeated over and over again ad nauseum. Is there anything more to learn in these arguments?

I mean, can we just give "ChatGPT got some things wrong, haha" some rest now?

Well, surprisingly. You actually need to swap the battery in UPS about every 3 years. Or the monitor feature in UPS is going to complain _loudly_.(I have one broken a few months ago) So there is not much difference here.

Although swapping battery of ups is surprisingly easy. Buy a new one from online store with a few dollar. Disconnect the connection to old battery.(a REALLY important step). Remove old one. Slap the new one in. Connect the wire. And pre-charge it for a few hours. Then it can just go back online like a new one.

The problem is, if the price is too low, it won't stop spam as long as their creators can earn more than (or equal to) cost.

You're kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you save up an emergency fund instead of paying a downpayment then you're spending money on rent that you could have in retirement, and it's not like rent is consistently cheaper than mortgage payments anyway so if you can save up when renting you can save up when owning.

So the gamble is, do you spend 2 years saving up for 6 months of income as a buffer and send tens of thousands of dollars down the drain in the meantime, or do you roll the dice and hope nothing bad happens in the next 5 or so years? The people who end up in the best position will be those who take the second option, and most of the time it will work out.
