Note how everything you categorize as 'high-impact' is basically politics. "Rather than focus on delivering results (which again is difficult(!), might be wrong, and often not easily identified by leadership), these people sp

Funny fact: there is a nightjet from Innsbruck to Amsterdam. It has the designation NJ420.

Well, let me put it like this: Ableton (and other DAWs) along with virtual instruments did certainly open up music production, in a way that answers 1.) And 2.). I do not own an organ, but I can get a pretty good VST alternative. People hav

It's hitting loganalytics. That's not really a service for which customers deal with VMS directly.

Ha, I reckon you live there. The description is pretty authentic.

Funny. The repo you linked has a very explicit 3rd option: "Supported - Commercial support is offered by Confluent."

What is the vulnerability here? An admin user can do admin stuff. Shocking.

That works just about the same way in intellij.

Especially in the edge / embedded space, MLEng will imply more than just doing ops. Stuff to do could include: - Getting a network architecture to run. - Applying optimization depending on target arch (pruning, quantisation, custom cud

Much 'applied' ML is based on tweaked existing models, getting them production ready and integrating them into a product. That's inherently a bit of non-trivial engineering work, but as you pointed out, not scientific per-se.

Should we arrest the author of Nmap?

The consensus on HN regarding crypto, privacy, and free speech has shifted considerably over the years. I have a hard time pinpointing the time, or identifying the reasons, bit the current sentiment towards some of those topics is chilly.

So, we arrest developers of metasploit and Tor?

Ok, I'll bite. disclaimer: this is a nice framework, will happily try it. Imho: The underlying patterns are quite clear, and there are various approaches to build stable pipelines. I have used automation with basic containers + gitlab

No. In particular, the issue is that PTSD is a (mental) illness and deserves our understanding and help. However, it is not helpful to shape all of society around this.

Software engineers are mostly aware of this. There is just little market demand for this level of robustness.

The fact that you need an A/B test to demonstrate that frontend performance has an impact (on user experience first and foremost) in 2022 speaks volumes.

There are plenty of high quality, somewhat responsibly produced brands, that are highish priced but would never qualify as flashy (sunspel, l'estrange, common project, ...). They are also not what the article is talking about I guess,

The people who push the other direction also bring few or no metrics. I.e. there is often no reason to add <bag of features>, except a customer (who didn't buy the product yet) mentioned them as nice to have during initial sales

That's peanuts in the context of cancer treatment.

No. The basic assumption is only, that if I pay somebody money for the service and to keep things running, then sudden data loss is unacceptable (and a multi week downtime even more so). Some companies cannot operate effectively without atl

Also, adding functions (e.g. overloads with new types) can absolutely change runtime behaviour, break tests, etc. Depending on language.

> I think Rust developers are in an interesting position right now that they're not as abundant as other developers, since Rust is probably still in "early adoption" stage. So they can use that as leverage in salary negoti

What makes you assume that 'exceptional' people would want to join such a network. What makes you assume that they are less toxic than your average persons (i.e. that the problems we see on social media are not linked to the mediu

In many countries around the globe this is absolutely not a crime, copying content that you own is perfectly legal and not even a grey area.

We use azure SQL (basically mssql) to perform something similar -- this might be a more apt comparison. We deal with largish amounts of JSON event data, and unpack specific fields to computed columns. This allows to use clustered indices, s

Reading that on HN, where anti-crypto sentiment is generally very strong, is really ironic.

Because they are creating negative externalities that are not priced.

Yes. And what I tried to point out, albeit not very clearly in retrospect, was that hedging is not only applicable and useful in cases that are plainly speculative in nature. E.g. I would like to hedge against the case of Forex fluctuations
