OK fine, let's build on the joke.

What do you call the person who graduated last in their medical school AND passes the USMLE (United States Licensing Exam) steps with the lowest passing score?

Doctor.

How do you know how it tastes?

Those with exploitative mindsets have learned over time that it's easier to take advantage of those who they see as weak and desperate.

That's a strong claim about human creativity. Based on what do you assert that human creativity is virtually unlimited?

So if he monetizes it then others won't try to "steal" his hard work?

Yes it does.

By what measure are memes and gifs productive?

What about the depth of dependencies of any part of the standard libraries for a given language?

Did you also have the same feedback from your IDE?

In other words would it have been less painful if you didn't have to suffer the long iteration times required to get feedback from some remote CI job?

Your argument is flawed since some amount of secrecy/discretion in judicial proceedings is allowed and necessary. For examples look to investigators and DAs who refuse to provide details for ongoing investigations, and closed proceedings.

More importantly this is a problem in a private organization and not a public entity or court proceeding.

That's a trend in general aviation and it's maddening. It's all of the problems this thread has raised about touch screens in cars but with added turbulence as an extra hurdle and spatial disorientation a safety risk. You can't just pull over and deal with the finicky touch screen.

Of course it doesn't and the author doesn't try to make that claim. The author jokes that their HCI PhD is only good enough to give them the authority to make obvious statementd about what a "good" search experience should be for a user.

What did I miss?

It's fascinating seeing what hacker news thinks is smug. There are plenty of actually smug comments that go without being called out but for some reason this guy does.

The PhD flex in jest by the blog post's author is a bit awkward but I don't know that I would characterize it as smug.

Any insight into why the author is perceived as smug would be appreciated.

Data center on chip

What's your take on the difference between explaining how code works and describing what it does?

I only ask because of bits like the TCP rate estimator sometimes have step by step comments that might be interpreted as explaining how the code is doing something.

For example take the app limited detection function: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/net/ipv4/tcp_r...

I've used managed power strips for data center applications in the past. The strips have individually addressable power ports and a web interface, telnet, as well as SNMP support. They've been around for decades and are the solution to your problem of needing to remotely manage the power state of power hungry devices.

If you set your servers to always power on after power is restored you can control them with that device.

There's also Wake On Lan (WoL) support in a lot of systems, where you can use a correctly crafted "magic frame" to wake up any machine that received it.

Just wait until you find out they run on software, some of it with bugs that they won’t fix.

On the other hand what would such a move get Radon? Amjad seemed to sense that maybe he was fishing for a job. Which to me it seems like he was especially being a new grad. The approach backfired and now he airs the interaction which gets Radon publicity.

We only have one side of the story so it's hard to tell what exactly is going on here.

I agree. This guy shows a consistent streak of poor decision making and lack of situational awareness. His behavior so far reinforces Amjad's claims that he was their most "demanding" intern.

You're overlooking one critical point in your deduction about type of NVGs used. The drone was visible with the naked eye due to a green position light, which should have been enhanced and been visible under through the night vision goggles. The article says the drone was last seen entering IMC at 14,000MSL while the helicopter's ADS-B track shows it reached 12,000MSL which means the helicopter could see the light at least 2,000 feet away, which suggests a bright light that should have been visible through light amplification.

It's more likely that the night vision device was either malfunctioning or pilot error made its use ineffective.

I think this is a matter of opinion but how is libera or libera.chat a better name than FreeNode?

How do you even pronounce that? Lee-Bear-Ah? Lee-Bera? Libra? Leebra? Liberia? That last one is a joke.

In Latin Libera is to deliver and pronounced Lee-Bera In Spanish Libera is to liberate and pronounced Lee-Bear-Ah

I can't say either of those roll off the tongue in either language and any English mispronunciation of it is just awful. Lee-brah and the like to me is about as grating as Tay-Co (taco), Jal-Ah-Peeno (jalapeño) or Ques-Aaadla (quesadilla).

This is a major loss of brand for the network. I'm sure I'll get downvoted into oblivion.

The invisible hand will provide.

This may seem trite, but if you can get 20 servers worth of performance out of one you can afford to run two active-active and still reap a 10x capex/opex savings. The technology to have simple but reliable systems has been around for decades. You also can't assume that the cloud is going to never fail, so you always have to defend against failure whether it be running two servers or two availability zones.

There you go "some" of the value. So either the store or the manufacturer eats the rest of the lost value, in either case the person using the policy at face value is taking value. In a lot of cases taking value would be stealing, but this is one of those cases where there's only a social contract and a set of norms that guard it and it's not seen as such. Think of a complementary offering of some kind based on an honor system, some treat or trinket in a bowl. Sure you can take just one or take them all. If you take them all you can argue that they're free but you're still a that guy that helps bring about a tragedy of the commons.

Culturally in the states and Latin America that makes you jerk and people will hate you for it. So there is social pressure in place to help regulate those events, but it may not always be the case everywhere.

The 10% restocking fee is a compromise between offerring a permissive return policy that gets abused and none at all. I have always understood it to be a deterrent and not the exact amount that must be recouped in order to make returns net zero loss events.

So what's the story behind the return abuse in India?

There may be an untapped market there waiting to be exploited.

R is much older than 2000, it's from 1993.

What does RS 65 Croer mean?

Interesting analogy. The nice thing about ATC (when VFR) is that the phraseology is well defined and outside of emergencies the number of requests and instructions are limited and usually expected.

When flying IFR then you've planned ahead, filed that plan, and either received exactly what you want or gotten an updated plan. If things change along the way you get small digestible updates. And you are of course going to brief your approach before executing it.

Meetings are much more dynamic.
