Yes. If you pistol whip a clerk you would get 10. If you get caught hacking you will get 5 in federal (35ish year max). The guy pistol whipping will get parole in 5. Same same.
Unfortunately, the efficiency of the proposed approach is only limited to the first 32 KB of the page being compressed. Once we move past the first 32 KB, LZ77's lookbehind window will no longer include the dictionary and the compression ratio of the rest of the page will stay the same.

Pre-seeding the dictionary could have a better effect in an LZ78 scheme where there is an actual dictionary built and stored in memory as opposed to a moving lookbehind window.

This also makes me wonder how the dictionary is delivered to the end client. If it's sent with each page request, then it hardly makes any sense as you are hauling an extra 16 KB or 32 KB of the dictionary just to have a better chance of compressing the page's first 32 KB.

I wonder if the size of the dictionary itself is factored in the compression benchmarks provided in the article.
The development version of Celery also supports Redis as a queue: http://ask.github.com/celery/tutorials/otherqueues.html
Creative roles? Have you seen the Netflix creative? It was last updated in 2004. I don't think they have creative roles. ;)
So you basically agree with the statement of not using memcache as a data store?
And do you refer to noSQL as microwave and SQL as stove?
The final summation I have gotten from this + other things from this thread = Glassdoor is a place to review companies. Netflix may be slightly on the reputation decline from this (for most), but for me, I can, ultimately, only appreciate the brand recognition that came for a website I had previously never heard of.
you can also download a great PHP & javascript course from the University of Tenessee off Itunes (Itunes U?). Hardvard also had an introductory course to web development up on Itunes U. So go to ITunes U, and look for the numerous free web courses being offered.
I don't consider myself a great writer, but for anything complex I work on it will be full of bits like "Benefits include X, Y and [needs third benefit]" or "[NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE MORE SECURE CHOICE]" that I throw in so I can get my framework down without getting bogged down in details.
This American Life; this is how an audio programme should be! (and I am not even an American :) )
if you want to learn programming download the CS podcasts from UC Berkeley. You can get it on Itunes U, or through the Berkeley webcast. It covers 60% of a CS undergrad program.

As for web programming in PHP, read the PHP cookbook. And the Definitive Guide to ____ O'Reilly books.

Programming is an art. The more you practice it, the more you become a master.
My take on genius is that it's akin to insanity, and for some of us, insanity doesn't seem to be so insane (which itself is an insane thing to say). Nikola Tesla ended his life alone, with a box of scrap parts as collateral for his rent (https://www.history.com/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about...). Friedrich Nietzsche wrote "The Parable of the Madman" (http://historyguide.org/europe/madman.html), and apocryphal stories indicate he may have written it from his own experience.

Beyond some point, being smart really isn't a good thing. You can't relate to people. Nobody understands you. Your value structure is messed up. Parents point to you and tell their children to not be like you. You live on top of a cold, windy, snowy mountain while everybody else lives in a warm and fertile valley. Yet you choose to live on the mountain anyways, because after you lose everything, you realize that's just who you are, and there's really nothing you can do about it beyond accepting it.

And so you are insane. You don't care about being comfortable, or about being paid well, or about people liking you, or having fewer problems in life, or anything else that makes sense. You just care about obsessing over that something.

People always talk about genius like it's some good thing. Maybe sometimes, if you obsess over something society values. But few people talk about the price of genius, probably because we're taught from an early age that being smart is a good thing and so few people go that far off the deep end anyways. I think it should be said, especially for HN types, that there can always be too much of a good thing. That it's healthy to relax, not take things so seriously, have a sense of humor, and relate to other people. That a good life is worth living. Because to forget that is a life lost.
Thank you for this info! I was just checking and he hasn't published any new essays in the last 2 years! I am really happy about new wisdom :-)
Depends on the axis.

In terms of working software that is somewhat dependable, we're probably better than ever before.

In terms of using the system resources efficiently? Unmitigated disaster. So. Much. Bloat. Chat clients should never use gigabytes of RAM

In terms of average talent level? It seems like its getting worse every decade. I was talking to some recent CS grads about Turing completeness and they had no idea what I was talking about. How can you have a CS degree and not know Turing completeness? Also so many developers refuse to understand how their tools work. There are so many developers terrified of C. C is warty, but to be frank, if you can't write some system level code you're going to be a weak developer. If you don't understand how your machine works, and you're unwilling to leave the world of HTML and Javascript, you're always going to be a novice

I have a theory about the "10x developer" thing. I think so many software developers are essentially "expert beginners" (https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th... ) that when someone comes along with experience and competency they look "10x". But in truth, I think its more that the industry has a lot of 1/10th developers so the 1x guys look like rock stars.

I also think in terms of project management we've gone in a really wrong direction, and the rise of the expert beginner is not unrelated. Early agile had the right mindset, but its morphed into a gross ineffective caricature of itself that operates on a factory metaphor. The expert beginners need all the micromanaging that comes from scrum, and the project managers are more than happy to do it, and the people that know what they're doing get dragged down into it because management thinks every programmer is as bad as the average.
It’s not that bad. I just had twin girls and I’m still managing to draw for ~3 hours a day in between feeding and diaper changes. If you like your hobby enough you’ll find the energy and time somewhere ;P
About 40% have conditional payments, in which recipients must fulfil certain obligations, such as getting their children vaccinated or enrolling them in school.

It's unequivocally clear how the word 'unconditional' is being used in this context. The article even gives some examples of unconditional welfare to the poor around the world. And if you do some research, it seems like these programs are reducing poverty.

On a macro scale, where does the money go when you give it to the poor? They buy things, so, it goes into the economy, doesn't it? When you give money to the ultrarich, it goes into offshore accounts, more than it goes back into the economy. Not that we shouldn't be giving money to the rich in the form of tax cuts and monetary policy - having dudes shoot their dick shaped rockets into space is beneficial for everyone. But save us all your 'fuck-the-poor' attitude.

edit: a word
It's up to the registrar to make the rules. If nic.io is fine with people outside of that territory to use their tld then it's okay.

Some TLDs do indeed have stronger requirements. I remember that for a long time getting a .fr was a bit of a pain because you had to prove that you were a french citizen or a french company IIRC.
Microservices are (generally) developed and owned by different teams. In that sense, they proliferate to the number of teams you have. I've also found that multi-team organizations with a strong architecture core will constrain "how" interfaces are designed pretty well (leaving the specifics to the teams). This also requires fast feedback and continuous integration.

The old saying "team = product" applies: if your business requires lots of parts independently evolving, you're going to find ways to make them cooperate at the boundaries, or you will be in a mess.

Companies like Amazon have made this approach work at speed and scale. Others might fail out of incompetence. Mostly I think people are just looking for ways to operate at better speed and scale than the current enterprise practices.
Maybe if China played by the rules, and did something about ip theft...
There are really two kinds of deflation. Servicing a debt and paying off a debt. Paying off a debt early causes LESS money to be sucked out of the economy in the form of interest, and increases the intrinsic value of one's financial assets. This increases the value of the dollar both by decreasing its supply, and increasing its perceived value internationally. In this scenario, bank loans are continuing to be made because the financial health of the nation, in general, is good.

However, deflation can also be caused servicing loans when no further loans are being made. Interest is sucking cash out of the economy, and loans are not being made to replace it. Because much of our productivity is based upon the ability to acquire easy credit, such deflation causes a halt to productivity, which leads to a further inability to service existing loans. Default follows, with the flotsam of toxic assets in its wake. Very bad news.

In a central bank system, both forms of deflation inevitably lead to inflation. The hope of central bankers is to control the currency supply such that just enough cash is added in the form of loans to keep the system solvent. However, central planning of an economy never works, and thus we come to the latter form of inflation, which is what we were experiencing just before the bundle of bailouts from the lest several years.

In the latter form of deflation, not only is the dollar perceived as worthless, but it is further devalued by the reactionary inflation which is invariably used to "solve" the crisis. So as you can see, inevitably it is inflation that causes the cost of overseas goods and services to increase.

You have to consider why exactly it is that the cost of goods and services overseas would normally be going up:

China is holding has bought vast sums of US Dollars in order to keep their currency low in relation to the dollar. By buying lots of dollars, China exchanges dollars for Yuan. Yuans flood the market, but China locks up the dollars in the bank. Yuans are inflated. The Dollar is deflated. The Dollars still exist - but they are not in circulation. If China were to liquidate their reserves of US Dollars, this would result in massive inflation. But China can only keep this up for so long. If we flood the market with dollars faster than China can buy them relative to its own currency, this strategy will fail, and eventually China will be forced to liquidate its dollar reserves. This will have the effect of driving the price of the Yuan up, and the Dollar further down.
"If you cut defense spending you also shrink a massive section of the economy, this will have a large ripple effect and you will end up with less tax receipts, and unemployment."

This doesn't even make sense. If defense spending pays my salary and my salary pays my taxes, my taxes can't be any higher than 100%, and if my taxes are 100% then me losing my job due to cuts in defense spending can't cost the government more in tax receipts than it's gaining back by paying my salary.

"You'll convert some energy to other sources, but not much, if it was so easy we would do it already."

Why? People respond to incentives. (First rule of economics.) Carbon tax is an incentive.
Really? All I've been doing is just picking 8 random characters as a "salt", sticking it to the password, and SHA-1 it, and you're saying its not secure? Uh oh.
If the community would collectively pay me for this feature and pg would agree to accept the patch, I'd do it.
I am a wordstar guy, I started with CP/M...

For years I enjoyed Borland products, they used Wordstar key bindings.

And then one day it stopped working. I simply had to use the mouse.

I was shocked.

It took me years to recover. I hated it.

Call me a masochist, a few years ago I tried Emacs, it was the only editor with syntax enlighting for Ruby at the time.

Except it was not working, or at least it was not working for me.

I had learned a little bit of lisp however, so it was not a total waste of time.

A few ago I was so frustrated with my editor (Notepad++), that I decided to give Vim a try.

Well... I am french. I can tell you that using Vim with a french keyboard is hell. That, plus copy/paste with the mouse working erratically (that is: more or less depending on the current "mode")... I quickly got frustrated again.

And then, boom, my netbook's hard drive goes back to his creator and I am forced to switch to my Linux netbook. No more Notepad++ there. I am back with SciTe.

Now my friends, may be you will understand it better when I will tell you a little secret I am sligthly ashamed of:

My project is mainly ONE big file, almost 12 000 lines of code, even the CSS that I used in in it.

No more buffers, no more windows, no more subdirectory to navigate.

Just one big file.

Heaven.

I wish I had seen the ligth before.

All I miss is a little post processor tool, with which I could define "sections" in my big file. Sections that it will dispatch into their own little files.

And when I will move to git, I will write it, and I will make it "bidirectortional", so that I can fetch back changed files, fetch them back into my BIG file that is.

One big file. Simplicity.

Don't worry, be happy.
Well, the announcement post got >100 upvotes, so I think it's appropriate that the follow-up gets to the front page (even if it's anticlimactic).
Agreed. The collective intelligence book has had good reviews from me and others on HN in the past. It's a good intro text with implementable examples.

Gruber was right last night when he pointed out that it was never going to be anything that big else they'd be hosting a full event for it.

It's nice and a nice bit of PR for Apple but nothing more. It's not as if this is music that was unavailable, it's just music that was unavailable on iTunes. It was always going to happen sooner or later.
This was blown way out of proportion by the media. Did anyone really think Apple would introduce streaming without Steve Jobs doing a presentation on it?
I just went on the site. The 'top' profiles include usernames like `elonmusk`, `loganpaul` and `arianagrande`, next to an icon saying they're "waiting to join". This sounds like a lie right? Unless there's such demand for this site that Elon Musk and Ariana Grande are waiting in a queue to get in on the BitClout action?
That would be a nice feature.

It's possible here, but unfortunately the pit stops aren't highlighted as in the OP's version:

I prefer a real time choice of browser, so I use Bromite and Bromite System Webview but actually do most of my www activities with Firefox for the benefit of great extensions and the Sync feature. I test Firefox Beta regularly too.
If someone is hanging a noose that's an objectively racist act and the fact that the victim happens to be homeless is probably not the biggest thing the person has a problem with.
>What kind of office was this person working in?

An office on the property of an international airport. Our maintenance hanger happens to be behind our parking lot and immediately on the other side of it is an active runway.

If you work at an airport, not in the terminals, you get used to smelling aviation fuel/jet exhaust.

As far as the indoor temperatures, it's a leased building and the HVAC is just inadequate (my guess is when the HVAC was designed, the building probably wasn't largely an open office). The front of the building the HVAC works great, but it still has walls and doors blocking it from where the bulk of the staff is.

The algae in the pex tubing coming off of the water filter is because, for some reason, there's a random tube coming off that just terminates which allows some water to not get circulated. The chalky white of the water is just pure hard water, if you put some water in a dark coffee mug and let it sit for a few hours then dump it out and let it dry the inside will have a noticeable white film. This will rapidly build up day after day and actually start to flake off from thermal shock.

>Some of them are even health and safety violations.

They aren't. You might think they are, but they aren't. If they were, any hanger or warehouse at any significantly sized airport would have long since been shut down. Yes, I'm sure there is some unacceptable level that once measured can have legal action taken but I'd bet my kidney that we aren't anywhere near those exposure levels. It's not like a turbine is backed up 3 feet from our door, with the doors wide open, spewing exhaust. That doesn't mean you can't smell it though, you can smell jet exhaust at considerable distances not unlike diesel exhaust from larger vehicles.

Many on HN are accustomed to nice offices with a bunch of perks or remote work, but for a lot of us we work in conditions like this (or far worse) and it's just life. We have it much better than our people working at our sort facilities, they're exposed to the elements with minimal HVAC for example.

When I was 18 I worked at a cemetary, I had to wear a "backpack" full of diesel for a weed eater/whacker and trim weeds for hours at a time with no shade, then dig graves and cut grass with no shade. I'd go home sunburnt and smelling like diesel frequently, even getting sun poisoning at one point. My current job is so much better than that job 18 years ago, but it's also a far cry from what I saw a Y Combinator and Open AI a couple of years ago when I was visiting someone and I imagine that's how a lot of tech offices are like give or take some perks and creature comforts.
Our life is full of noise, which is why it is so important to remain mindful and be really happy(https://ivypanda.com/essays/mindfulness-as-a-practice-in-the...). Mindful breathing and thought filtering are the best exercises to return to the present moment.
@phantom_oracle I did not mean best in terms of visual/ux view.
Even so, Go seems less succinct in comparison on several tasks. Such differences will most likely be magnified in larger programs.
SpaceX is dependent on government contracts for their business, which is risky. Government contracts could go away, or get reduced, for a bunch of different reasons--some of which have nothing to do with how good you are.
Engineering seems easier to improve than science.
Why do programmers always like to make analogies. It's like every programmer blog post is some kind of analogy. What is it with programmers and analogies.

Also why aren't there any analogies between programmers and plumbers. Or programmers and a fast food joint. Why does it always have to be like architecture or master artists?

Learning programming is like becoming a grand master artist. You can learn both in a 6 month intensive boot camp.
fwiw Topps (one of the Big Two manufacturers of baseball cards) recently attempted to go public via a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). Their pitch? NFT baseball cards.

So they might actually make a comeback.
Hear hear. I’m Polish, and my ancestors were serfs (like 90%+ of the nation), brutally exploited by Polish nobility and Catholic Church. We have more in common with US Blacks than US Whites, which sometimes shows in our attitudes.
Strong disagree. See above.

IBM/RHEL seem to be the effective the stewards of Podman, and are using their monopoly-like position in enterprise OS segments to take control of the virtualization layer through it. This is similar but worse to old MS/Windows doing tricks for IE vs others. Supporting Podman is supporting explicitly anti-competitive IBM/RHEL OSS behavior for enterprise, utility, & gov environments.
Just to add to this: there are usually two or three offers per year (black friday, Christmas and the like, just check Amazon) where your can get a year for the family plan (6 licenses, as mentioned, each one good for 5 devices or so) for around 40€ all in. They stack, so you can buy several just to be prepared.
Glaring technical issues aside, scraping and reproducing the entirety of Twitter is a pretty blatant copyright violation.
thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, I used 'sh' just for now as a basic command, I plan to implement all the expected nix shell features.
I did a "git clone" of you repository, added my link to README.md, then did a "git push", only to get:

remote: Permission to lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job.git denied to CyberneticEntomologist.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I did the "git clone" on my own box. Do I need to do it from github?
Supporting North/South is how they have traditionally been marketed, but not how they are actually used much of the time. Inside enterprise they are often used as an internal "service catalog" and are effectively a shim providing discovery and consistency over a bunch of fairly scoped internal services.
Except for all those moderation jobs, and everyday office jobs, oh wait are they just people too and not "1%ers" ???
If that's the case, why is the transaction count per time period for Bitcoin Cash about 20% of Bitcoin's? On the other hand, it's a significant problem that Bitcoin Cash has about 2% of the hashrate of Bitcoin. Any sensible person would not put any significant value into Bitcoin Cash when such a small percentage of Bitcoin miners could reorg the chain.
True and useful ideas can take care of themselves. It’s mostly false and useless ideas that need to be protected from heresy.
This sounds like a pretty good short to medium term situation for wage earners, so long as it doesn't lead to long term disinvestment.
TR has usually higher CPU frequency and more agile BIOS, for less $.
Computation does not need to be digital. An analog computer could represent positions down to arbitrary precision, though accuracy would still be limited by the information input.
I'm sorry, but at what point are you disagreeing with me?

"Not every student necessarily needs to learn every thing" is essentially the point I'm making.
How can he be charged with leaving the security area "without permission", when TSA had him escorted out of the security area?
b) the amazing ELIZA program which wasa huge influence on my entire philosophy...

Why do you say your entire philosophy?
I guess I don't see a reason not to generate it on the server. I have a section of my website with some essays, for example, which are formatted from Markdown source plus a bit of HTML templating. The essays don't frequently change, and neither does the template. Why would I want to regenerate the page on the client side every time someone reads it instead of just generating it once and serving up static HTML?
E] Pick up a chair and break it on their skull, kick them in the groin, gouge eyes, go for the throat, stomp head, whatever it takes to make them go down and stay down.

You could be seriously hurt/killed in a fight, so don't give the other guy the opportunity to do it to you. If you're not willing to go that far, you shouldn't be fighting.

If you can cause them to realize that this is not a game and you're not two kids slapping each other, and that this is a situation that could

1] get them killed

and

2] be avoided

they might give it a second thought.
