Working in govt is the way to achieve what OP wants. Especially in positions that are unionized. We call these people "lifers" or "gamers". They know how to game the union seniority system. Most of these people know how to phone in their work just enough to not get noticed and hop from one seniority-based position to the next before anyone catches on. By the time they've put in their 25 years, you've got a guy who majored in chemistry getting ready to retire from a senior software dev position. You can't fire them because they're union and it would take 6 months to a year to get all the documentation in order. And by that time, they've transferred to a different position.
That site layout is terrible.
Perforce (the product) doesn't really scale sufficiently for the Googles/Amazons/Microsofts of the world, sadly.

I think they've all moved to custom forks/implementations due to the insane SPOF that Perforce servers are (and their hardware requirements). But up til that point, heck yeah!
Thanks, Hassan!

We were originally a SaaS recommendation engine and will continue to provide a fully-managed cloud-based solution. It’s now serving recommendations on hundreds of millions of page views per month.

There are a few pretty significant technical tasks we need to complete to make the API provisioning streamlined enough to support trial accounts since there are some manual steps required to configure the metadata properly, etc.

Since we decided to go open-source last September, all of our R&D focus has been in preparing this open-source release instead of the self-serve. Streamlining our cloud service is in the roadmap, and it's now powered by the same codebase as the open-source project.

The feedback we received from developers who tried the AMI and VM are that it's super quick to get started. And as you can see we've spent a lot of time recently on documentation.

If you're interested in the hosted API, please email support@seldon.io.
The FAQ on the web site currently says 6 nights. Might want to update that.
Yet again, someone fails to understand that this is Comcast abusing their (effective) monopoly to extract additional money via double-paying.

First I pay for internet access. 50Mbps "theoretical max" but it's fairly reasonable to expect to get say 10% of that most of the time.

Then Netflix has to pay again, in order for me to get the internet traffic that I requested. If Netflix doesn't pay, then Comcast schedules upgrades more slowly than they normally would such that my Netflix experience is degraded. They're not reducing capacity, they're just growing capacity in some areas much, much more slowly than in the rest. To get extra cash.
Just a heads up, in the apply form (https://www.recurse.com/apply?r=homepage) you still refer to Hacker School.
And cable secured maasive legal and bureaucratic hurdles to prevent anyone else from doing the same.
Can I have a link to where you tried it?
> I've used it professionally, and spoken with a lot of other people who have, and exactly zero people have expressed an experience that the naming of operators has caused the language to be less practical for them.

This is a pretty self-selecting set. One of the reasons I don't use Haskell professionally is that I hate its operator-naming culture, and Haskell isn't big enough in industry yet that it has lots of involuntary users (like C++ or PHP or Java does).
I don't like ln as an example of sanity.

$ ln
usage: ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [target_file]
ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file ... target_dir

"Source = from", "target = to" is how I interpret that. Then if you look at some existing link, you'll see it as:

my_link --> real_directory

In the direction of the arrow: from, to. But to create that link, the command would really be

$ ln real_directory my_link

The link target/real path is the source and the link to create is the target.

My brain thinks it breaks the idiom of `[cmd] [from] [to]` that cp, mv, etc use. You wouldn't say the example above is a link from real_dir to my_link, you'd say the opposite (and that's what the cli shows when you ls a link).
I'm hopeful that someone on HN will provide a substitute shortly.
This strongly resonates with me. Somewhere along the way we allowed ourselves to lose more and more empathy and kindness toward people who think differently than us.
That’s true—the CEOs of RIM decided that Apple couldn’t follow through on what they announced.

The iPhone was a disruptive, revolutionary device that was 5 years ahead of everything else.

Nano is interesting but not revolutionary. Bitcoin is just starting to hit its stride.
I say batshit insane crazy stuff all the time that in hind-sight I didn't mean at all. Probably, I should work on thinking more before I speak. But - I like to speak my mind - even if it gets me in trouble some times.

I do think it's a problem that a lot of employees can and do get fired over saying dumb stuff - a lot of times that they didn't mean to say. Does this include Trump's famous "Grab them by the p#$$y" comment? Maybe.

However, there's this idea that people should basically be able to send out hate speech memos in a company and not be apprehended for "speaking their mind". These are completely different. One of them is premeditated idiocracy. The other is a mistake. We shouldn't confuse the two.
Whole thing is a joke. Police literally let them in:

I've been wondering about this. will it lead to:

- nothing

- next time - you get a cold, but have an easier time because of a healthy and unloaded immune system

- next time - you just get a cold

- next time - you get a cold, but have a harder time

- next time - you get a 3 colds at once from many directions (either separately evolved or lots of micro-populations)
It’s just you - you’ve created a silly little straw man with no relation to reality.
> politically convenient fake facts (“masks don’t work”)

As I keep asking you, every time you post this, please can you point to the published studies showing that masks work. These studies should have been published before the WHO / CDC / etc made their recommendations.

If you're unable to find those studies you should conclude that WHO were telling you what they knew at the time and this was being accurately reported by the media.
My credit cards regularly offer 5% cashback for grocery stores, drug stores and other physical locations that sell gift cards. They also offer 5 percent back for pay pal purchases which can be combined with places like Raise.com to get a lot more than 5 percent saved in total, and gift cards almost always go for under full price.

If you're doing an online purchase you can combine with a coupon collector site, credit cards, and gift cards to get steep discounts. When I shopped at H&M their gift cards regularly had 15-35% discounts from gift card sites and they will accept any piece of fabric in store for a discount coupon, making the clothes close to fifty percent off in total.

When shopping online it adds possibly two minutes extra to check out once you get used to the flow. It's not recommended for gifts as it mucks up the return flow but gift cards are usually only for large retail outlets so it's always possible to hold on to it and purchase something later.

This is all legitimate use and not a flow for money laundering.
"denied opportunities to present evidence"

What? They could present it to the media. They could leak it. Trump could make a nationally televised speech to the American people.

How about you acknowledge that there is zero hard evidence of any of the lies coming out of the Trump administration.
That would make more sense if religion was linked to the attack.
sounds a lot like "Go with the flow" and "Be thankful for what you got" -- conventional wisdoms that well rounded people manage to do without thinking.

I can relate to how HN can make you feel -- i just find it interesting how some people can deal with such feelings with ease without having to resort to reading books on life philosophy. I envy those people :)
> I stopped reading there.

I am sorry you feel offended, but I am not going to sugarcoat the truth for you just because you're sensitive or hysterical. You must understand that HN is for adults, we have a certain direct, business-like, often rough and sometimes whimsical -- but never intentionally mean -- way of speaking, and you're just going to have to accept that; it's just part of our hacker culture. I think you'd agree that it's not reasonable of you to expect us to tiptoe around special snowflakes primed by coddled upbringings that take umbrage at every perceived slight.
I saw it today in the HN Notifications Thread (I think) and was already impressed, its great work, imho.

For each Android release one phone vendor seems to get an exclusive; presumably they are paying for that in some way (like TV ads that promote the platform).
Thanks! Lots planned for 1.1 and beyond. Feel free to email us any other thoughts you have - hard keeping up with the comments on HN.
There has been much debate about making customizations like these that stray from the UI guidelines. I actually like subtle customizations like these, but some more orthodox folks feel that it's a crime.

In any case, it's nice to see someone reverse engineering some of them, as I've always wondered how a few of them worked.
You're right about Apple, as I indicated in my initial post when I said that Microsoft's mobile strategy has been a disaster. However it is important to keep in mind that a company always has to deal with problems on multiple fronts. The fact that I think they made a good decision on one issue doesn't mean that they didn't make bad ones elsewhere.

I think it is also important to pay attention to the timeline. The Xbox decision was made under Bill Gates. The Apple missteps were made under Steve Ballmer. There may be a reason for that...
No, self-taught is fine for trivial tasks but for good solutions it take a well balnced education. Example: I've yet to interview a self taught programmer/analyst that had a grasp of space/time complexity.
To everyone who has a problem with tell them that the offer is oversubscribed, you do not have to take one sentence and turn it into a huge deal. If that is what the author wants to say, then so be it, just suggest something better and that may work.

Making a new device that has this property seems to be a pretty straightforward problem that we know how to do. The problem comes when an old device has been damaged or destroyed kinetically or via pyrotechnics.
This is why I spent the night watching the C-SPAN streams, where they prioritized (and seem to always do) live footage, both of the debates and the chaos. They also spent most of the rest of the time taking phone calls from randos on a public line, and the views expressed in those calls really illuminated the breadth of public opinion at the moment (obviously with selection bias of who felt inclined to call in).

Down the line, I can read other people's thoughtful analysis of what people said and how people voted and evaluate it in the context of having seen it live, rather than from having heard Michael Barbaro's quick-cut package in the morning.
I know that you're probably looking for an alternative to WordPress, but here's what I do at my company.

We have an internal WordPress installation where (non-technical) staff can make posts & pages, use their favorite themes & plugins, etc. Everyone can view the internal site to critique it, make changes, and basically screw around without touching the live site.

Once they have the site ready to release, we use a simple plugin (ignore the "outdated" warning): https://wordpress.org/plugins/static-html-output-plugin/ which basically exports the site to a static copy as a zip file containing all of the HTML and other static assets.

We made a little deploy script which loads the zip file on our Nginx webserver, moves the old "build" of the site to an archive directory (so we can still retrieve it in case the new site is broken), regex'es the files to change some things (such as wp-content/ URL's) to point to our CDN, etc. Once everyone has QA'ed the site on the internal server, we just run the deploy script and now the new version is live.

This has worked out great for us - no one had to learn a new CMS; we can easily change WordPress versions (or, switch to an entirely new WordPress install), add new plugins, and mess around with stuff without breaking the live site. Plus, the site is served entirely as static files from a lightweight machine which runs only Nginx - no PHP, database, or anything else.

Note that obviously any "dynamic" features of the site (like comments) won't work, but that doesn't impact us.

Our site is in the Alexa top 5000 and we've been using this setup for over a year without any site downtime, broken theme issues due to version updates, scrambling to update due to WP security issues, or any other annoyances that come with using WordPress.
Primarily because of Middleman's local data[1]. Basically any .json or .yaml files located in your Middleman project's /data dir are exposed via the data method as a big iterative array.

This makes it perfect for polling an API during build for whatever data you need, then tossing the whole .json ball into the /data dir for exposure.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Jekyll, but I find Middleman covers pretty much all my bases these days.

They don't speak about the angles (vertical windows vs horizontal roofs) and how much can this impact the energy efficiency in practice.

Presumably it's good to have some vertical panels in a mix to produce energy in the late afternoon when the sun is low but I wonder if there is any quantified study available that would highlight whether or not this is worth the investment.
While not NES, one of my students at General Assembly made a Chip-8 emulator/interpreter in JavaScript for their final project.

Chip-8 has 30-something instructions and is relatively simple to implement, and test driving it is pretty easy too. I thought it was a really wonderful first emulation exercise.

If you asked me five years ago, I would have said "never." I was just asked this ten minutes ago, and my feelings are now "depending on your constraints, it can make a lot of sense, but I don't think it's going to be something for everyone."
So much of the "research" is not research at all. It's no surprise to see anti-vaccine sentiment run strong among Grace Manning-Devlin types.
The quote alone without context isn't all that bad, but the content of the slides in which it was, specifically this (https://twitter.com/DrKarlynB/status/1362774562769879044/pho...) implies that "being white" carries all of those negative attributes, despite your skin color not being your choice when being born.
> it is recognized that most of Greek myth originates in Eastern Mediterranean cultures, ... actually very little in Greek mythology can be traced back to Indo-European myth.

Is that the case? It's been a couple of decades since I was immersed in the scholarship of this domain so it's quite possible there is more recent scholarship I'm utterly unaware of. It's pretty overt that there are common religious and linguistic elements of the ancient vedic and greek mythologies (less so with zoerastrianism) though it's indeed impossible to unscramble the egg to try to ascertain how much might have been brought in from some ur-culture and how much arrived via later transmission between cultures (that had an even longer history of trade).

As for the use of Aryan, well, it's a millennia-old self-descriptive term in old Persian and Sanskrit, but I certainly agree its adoption by Europeans in the mid 19th century was in support of a particular racial Weltanschauung. Hence my specific calling out of this factor. Another trace can be found in the common (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Marathi etc) use of "Indo-European" vs the German "Indogermanisch''
In my experience with AWS support, it's a major difference on whether you are asking EC 2 questions or some of the lesser used service questions.

For Media services, the supporter will almost always need to coordinate with an internal team, which there is no visibility over, and then it becomes a game of telephone to make the supporter relay the information in a way the internal team understands. I've had the same thing happen with peering/networking related questions.

For EC 2, VPC, DynamoDB kinda questions, they are indeed pretty good.
> So is she disagreeing with this?

They (it's not a sole-author paper) are very clearly not endorsing it as a literal description, while also quite explicitly endorsing the detailed and nuanced description of the effects of inculcating White identity which Thandeka uses to explain that rather inflammatory summary description, and also, implicitly through scare-quoted back-reference, adopting the summary as a metaphor, though implicitly as one not free of problems.

At 14c/kwh it’s still cheaper on a per mile basis than gasoline.

Will they be able to survive until then with this though? Because I seriously doubt it.
I actually agree with you. But I think the need for office software is grossly exaggerated. There’s no reason how one couldn’t articulate reason as well in a markdown file. Excel is the only thing remotely useful but even that can be replaced with pandas. The whole workflow itself - the fancy stuff, is unnecessary complex.
Legally, what is happening when the police put a tracker on a car? It isn't a gift, or a transfer of ownership - otherwise the police retieving it would be theft. On the other hand, the vehicle owner should not be held responsible for damage to a device they don't know about. Does it become lost property?

If the disappearance of public property attached to a vehicle can be used to justify a search warrant, this seems like it would be ripe for abuse. The police could apply for a tracking warrant, wait a week, claim their tracker was lost, and then perform whatever searches they want on the private property.
>We had constant issues with our fridge water dispenser using 'Samsung' water filters bought on Amazon. Out of desperation, I just bought a cheap off-brand one, hoping if it was at least being honest about not being an official product, it'd at least be functional as a replacement. All of the issues with our fridge have since vanished.

Another example: I recently needed new brush heads for my electric toothbrush. I hesitated before buying, because I can't be sure that the toothbrush manufacturer-branded refills on Amazon are genuine. Going with a generic, compatible refill with good reviews is preferable in this case, aside from the lower price, because presumably no one will counterfeit it.

(I ended up buying the manufacturer-branded refill ... from Best Buy, not Amazon.)
If we’re comparing this to real utility trucks like a Ford Ranger, you may have a point; but IMO the SUV status symbols like the F150 aren’t much better for utility vs Tesla

You haven’t even seen the specs or enough of the truck to say things like reach ability is any worse than a luxury truck

Also if you watched the whole presentation, who’s to say the front and back wheels can’t adjust height independent of each other yet

The only thing other luxury trucks have on the Tesla for now is the look. Its styling is just too forward and aggressive. even though I like it, I can see many people hating it
The new doctrine is escalation of force to compliance. I have that info from public court, on the record.

according to https://get.sucks/fees .sucks domains have an MSRP of $250 for standard domains and $2500 for "premium" domains. I can't see a list, but my guess is the "premium" domains are the names of larger corporations and wealthy individuals that the registry thinks they can extort more money from.
Can you give an example of a false claim that’s causing real negative consequences for real people?

Difficulty: the claim needs to be one that was made in support of something that you personally agree with.

Are you familiar with Sturgeon's Law?
Changes to CGT will not have any immediate impact on the market. Invested capital isn't income until it is withdrawn from a market account at which point it is taxed. If investment capital remains in the market and is not withdrawn it isn't income.

For example if I make $7 million in the market tomorrow I cannot use that money to buy a $7 lunch until I pull some of that money out of the market into a more liquid account (checking or saving). Pulling the money out of the market is where it becomes taxable income.

Changes to CGT may have some minor indirect changes on investment by altering perceptions of investment principle. It may even benefit the market by reducing the frequency of money leaving the market.
