FiveThirtyEight examined this in the NHL.

> Teams that fired their coaches performed exactly the same on average in the following season as teams that kept their coaches. Notably, teams that were sub-.400 performed 20 percent better on average the following season regardless of whether they fired their coach or not. [...] Playoff performance is no better under new coaches. Non-playoff teams go an average of 0.5 playoff rounds the following season, whether they fire their coach or not.

There’s many debit card “send to friend” apps that fill this space, including Apple Cash and Square Cash and etc. but your most likely compatibility app is Venmo. I’ve had zero issues with any of the Cash apps I’ve used to date, though.
> It's that the amount that's taxed is easily manipulated

Did you even read my post?

It’s entirely about this fact: you wrote a long rant concurring, but phrased as violent agreement.

You just pulled a single phrase out of a multiparagraph post, then strawmanned my argument.

That’s not up to the standards expected of HN posts.
IIUC, the optimisation is the same, but all it does is tell the compiler what the hot path is likely to be and so the code won't 'jmp' to it; the instructions are likely to be in I-cache.
I appreciate what you do truly, but It's also perfectly understandable that we consider it a major reason not to use your software and a perfectly fair criticism of the choices you have made. Your rebutal has not changed the main point of the original poster at all, If you want to ignore 70% or more of Linux users that is perfectly your right to do so, but it's also my obligation as a long time Linux user to recommend that people avoid your solution in favor of i3 on X11 or a superior solution such as gnome or kde which understands the basic problems the overwhelming majority of it's user base faces and is willing to work with them regardless of the hurdle.
Zoom is an awful piece of malware. Wayland doesn't need to support zoom, zoom needs to support wayland. With that logic literally every change to an OS is broken because it doesn't run my cli accounting program from 1985.

While I've never had any first-hand experience with Japan, it is said that there is some degree of discrimination that stems from cultural differences. Stuff like foreigners find it more difficult to rent apartments because the owners are concerned they won't be quiet enough and disturb the neighbors, or won't sort out their trash appropriately, etc. I don't think language is the only issue.

Japanese work culture also seems very particular. It seems likely that a business run by a foreigner would result in cultural clashes with employees, with customers, and with the general public.
You’re right - in that direction they are related. Since a safety net is always needed, there is just no good reason to have minimum wage.
>What's not clear is what happens if/when the government is the only one paying hospitals to keep their doors open.

What isn't clear about this? The government pays the hospitals to keep their doors open.
To play devil's advocate, why would Intel spend money to allow their competitor to leverage speedups from their compiler?
Note that the Lwt syntax extension (often used in Mirage) adds a try_lwt..finally construct. Doing anything at all with IO in Mirage will be asynchronous (there are no blocking operations anywhere).

However, people generally use various "with" functions to manage resources. That's better than try..finally because the allocation can't get separated from the try bit.

I never found Java checked exceptions much use for resource leaks, since unchecked exceptions are always still possible.
No. Take it literally, at face value.

E.g., I have essentially no idea what
MVC is, what it's for, why one should
use it, etc. Similarly for WebForms.
Then similarly for Nancy, etc.

So far, my Web pages work fine.
At first impression, unless you have a single gigantic source code base, unlikely. From their FAQ:

>> "Gradle: Bazel configuration files are much more structured than Gradle's, letting Bazel understand exactly what each action does. This allows for more parallelism and better reproducibility"

The value of "more parallelism" depends on the complexity of your Java source code base. I can easily imagine why this extra structure can lead to more parallelism.

However, I am not buying "better reproducibility" without justification or explanation. I've had very reproducible Maven builds for years (and I don't see how Gradle would be different). So I would love to know which aspects are improved upon with this structure, if someone could expand or explain.

Finally, I'm very wary of "much more structure". The worst thing about Maven is its extreme insistence on structure and schema and very specific architecture of your build tasks and components. In contrast, with Gradle, you can freely shape your build scripts to reflect the "build architecture" of your source tree in a minimal, maintainable way. Furthermore, when your application's needs change, refactoring your build is far easier in Gradle, thanks to its internal-DSL style (the build script is code).

If the structure isn't "free", you pay for structure with reduced build script development speed. For Google, it's a tradeoff worth having with that massive source tree.

There's plenty of alternatives to EarthClassMail which are more reasonably priced; check out a list here:

http://unhappyecmcustomer.blogspot.com/2009/09/earth-class-m...

I've been using a newer one, http://virtualpostmail.com , which I've found both cheaper and better for my purposes.

You can also opt out of catalogs pretty effectively with a site like http://catalogchoice.org .

Beyond that, sign up for eBills and the like as much as you can through your bank's online bill pay.

The only thing I really havn't been able to stop are those pesky credit card checks, but I havn't actually tried calling my banks and asking.
I most certainly won't create tables named after web input.

ORMs are there to shield you from database details. I don't care whether the underlying database is a MySQL instance running on Amazon's cloud, an Oracle RAC down our datacenter or even a non-relational animal we use for very high volume operations. I don't care if the data is in tables or a tree. The kind of stunt you are trying to convince us is reasonable should never be done on top of the ORM, but under it, or, better, by its side. If you have a humongous dataset to load, don't do it through the ORM - do it directly on the datastore.

On a side note, I find your tendency to rely on name-calling and insinuations most disturbing and quite inappropriate for a place like HN.
That's a pro-example rather than a counterexample, surely? Nobody licenses the patents, usually because they're not available on FRAND terms, instead the field is held up for 20+ years waiting for them to expire.

(Is a patent that has expired still counted as a "patented discovery"? This changes the meaning quite a bit)
Irrelevant. Chrome laptops or Android devices are everywhere. And classic Linux desktop such as Ubuntu is very common worldwide.

I started my MBA at Carnegie Mellon when I was 20

Is that taught using the "case" method? What exactly did you say in case studies when experienced managers were talking? </curious> Because an MBA is as much about learning from fellow students as it is from professors.
Mainland Europe is a big place. (As is the United States, Japan, etc). There are huge, huge, huge disparities in income between e.g. programmers working finance in Paris and somebody cranking out back office code in Poland.

I have no specific knowledge about the market in Vienna, but find it easily within the realm of plausibility. You'll still be making a 50% premium to e.g. some fairly senior developers in the Midwest, and almost a 100% premium to common programming wages in Nagoya.
Pay is generally a lot lower in Europe, compared to the most competitive market in the world for developer talent. Be sure, however, that you're both talking about the same things: the number before taxes, and try and get an idea of how much actual take home pay would be.
I can't comment on what the actual average salary for a programmer in Europe is, but you have to remember that you can't just convert straight from EUR to USD and compare the amounts. You have to consider the cost of living etc. in the country you are getting the offer from compared to the cost of living where you currently live.
P-Rex (T-Rex, you know) would've been a much cooler name!

There is a mode that's called "Audio Adapter Accessory Mode" that makes use of the USB 2.0 data lines and a few others as analog audio lines for the headphones.
Don't forget that calendar math is not commutative!

Jan 27 + 5 days = Feb 1

Feb 1 + 1 month = Mar 1

Jan 27 + 1 month = Feb 27

Feb 27 + 5 days = Mar 4 (or Mar 3 in a leap year!)

Therefore...

Jan 27 + 5 days + 1 month = Mar 1
Jan 27 + 1 month + 5 days = Mar 1

AND

Jan 27 + 5 days + 1 month = Mar 4 (or 3)
Jan 27 + 1 month + 5 days = Mar 4 (or 3)

Before someone claims that this is just a February problem, please first consider that you can create these scenarios with any set of months that have differing lengths.

Then, please consider that your argument that ignoring February is not a good way to approach any calendaring library....

> Every time I see "nindent" in yaml code, a part of my soul turns to dust.

Yup. For this reason it's a real shame to me that Helm won and became the lingua franca of composable/configurable k8s manifests.

The one benefit of writing in static YAML instead of dynamic <insert-DSL / language>, is that regardless of primary programming language, everyone can contribute; more complex systems like KSonnet start exploding in first-use complexity.
The carborana recipe also includes garlic which I'm not saying is wrong, but it's not standard. Also carbonara has neither butter nor oil.
I feel it's because a beginner is a mostly blank slate so you can give generic advice without need to understand their personal context. Someone who is proficient will have strong context (areas they're strong in, weak in, like, dislike, etc.) so advice should be tailored to them. Writers may also not actually be cognizant of their own context so can't self select specific tailored advice books. Which is why there's historically been writing workshops, editors, proofreaders, etc.

Curious how off the mark I am in my thoughts.
Would you consider it to be more dangerous than riding a bike? I'm always amazed by how skaters are able to stop or "hit the breaks" where there are none.
>City streets are narrow and extremely uncomfortable to drive on as it is.

I agree. I live in a city and am constantly afraid of all the gigantic cars that fly by me whenever I walk anywhere. I'm also constantly (albeit much less) afraid of someone stepping out onto the street when they're not supposed to and not being able to stop in time. But maybe, just maybe, the cars (that get bigger every year) are the problem? Maybe instead of declaring that roads are for cars and roads are too small so nothing can be improved, we could make it easier to get around cities without a car?

I just find it ridiculous that anyone who lives in a city has to live with the fact that a 3 inch curb is all that's stopping a massive hunk of metal from running them over. I find it ridiculous that bike (or non-car) lanes are considered evil because of the idea that not being able to park directly in front of your destination means that no one will go there. And I say this as someone who drives a car and rides a bike in a city, because I'm well aware that a lot of people who ride bikes do so in a very unsafe way. But I'd take getting hit by someone on a bike over getting hit by even a moped every single time.

People live in cities, not cars. I shouldn't have to fear for my life while walking down the street.

What I would write:

Dear X,

Approx. 5 weeks ago I sent you an invoice (reference XXXX) for £XX after completion of the following work by myself: XXXX.

So far payment has not been made on this invoice; could you please give me a call on XXXX so that we can discuss this in person and arrange a suitable time-scale for transfer of funds. I will try to call you myself in the next few days so that, at some point, we are able to discuss this directly.

As a student this represents a substantial portion of my income so I am sure you understand how important timely payment is to me.

Thanks, X

There seems to be a bit of a strawman argument going on here. When people share "their opinions on whether it was a good idea to create a Dilbert movie" there's a fair number of assumptions tied up in there. It sounds the same as the question "Can Hollywood make a successful movie out of the characters created by Scott Adams?" Could the Hollywood studio system of the 1950's have made Easy Rider? No, of course not. Adams makes some interesting and fairly uncontroversial points about execution, but seems to do so on the back of a misunderstanding. There aren't that many movies that Hollywood can make with Dilbert, and most of them aren't worth watching.
That's interesting that it has nothing to do with crisis (that was just my assumption)-- your wife probably appreciates it.

My revulsion (at Mr. Feld, not you) comes not from the importance of his relationship with his wife, but from the implied disrespect to the audience. When I'm speaking to a crowd, or even just talking to some friends, I think that I should focus on doing that-- listening to what they say or telling them what I think. I can't think exactly of how to explain why that kind of focus is valuable to me.

In the context of a wealthy VC talking to aspiring startup folks, I also think it's pretentious. Maybe Mr. Feld is an exception, and this is just his one quirk, but it seems like part of a type of subtle control game that I don't like to be around.

or, they could choose less expensive colleges.
Like a state college. CSU Stanislaus is $5,000 / year or so last I checked (September 2009). $20,000 probably wouldn't have required a loan at all. Because she's paid at least $100,000 or so of it. 50k / year * 4 years is 200k, and she owes 97k, so most likely she got some scholarships that helped a lot.
There's a per-bag fee (you have to buy tags to put on them) in many places.

There have been hints that a number of politicians who might have had to issue a retaliation order might have refused to do so from purely moral reasons.

In Richard Rhodes Arsenals of Folly a close adviser to Ronald Reagan is quoted as saying:

"I think deep down he doubted that he could bring himself to strike another country with [nuclear weapons]"

Somewhat to my surprise, I'm from the UK and was in my teens in the 1980s where Reagan wasn't exactly portrayed in a positive light, I've found myself believing that Reagan probably would have had the moral courage to do such a thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's impossible to cover S3 costs with ads displayed near pictures. According to FAQ you are going to leave picture unlimited time (and paying for space in S3) even if no one is visiting page with picture.

> It is speculation on twitter

No, all of the statements are there, they're first-hand accounts. The rest can easily be derived from given evidence.

They state first that they talked to the reporter, who had a positive bent.

They state that the reporter became increasing interested in a second perspective on SSC.

Third, it is a fact that Scott Alexander knew that the reporter was doing the article, and did not request anonymity (Otherwise the reporter would not have disclosed his name at any stage). So it can be seen that anonymity was not of interest to Scott when the reporter started out on the article.

Four, Scott Alexander deleted the site immediately after the reporter started seeking out opposing views. He did not do this at any time beforehand, when it would have been more prudent to do so.
I don't think that distinction is valuable. Immigrants that come to live here will need to be well equipped for adult life just like native Swedes are. That is why the downward trend has been so worrying. If the young generation in average has faired less well than previous generations, then that is worrying for our society.

Is there a way for a non-British to view the other episodes? Adam Curtis is brilliant.
Perhaps it was not about "strategic thinking" to achieve some end goal, but about denouncing what they feel is wrong?

Besides, I don't see any "let's stragetically be hush about it, so the article goes unnoticed" ever working.

The mere publishing of the article, with no reaction, would be enough to have personal consequences for the blogger.

At least with the big commotion, the shittiness of NYT publishing it has come under scutiny too.

So the reaction might be strategically good too.
I believe this can be resolved using a quad tree to resolve point locations and map them to a view in a view hierarchy

For clarity, the author doesn't like unencrypted but signed emails. Which strikes me as weird but at least it isn't something that people would normally do. They are OK with encrypted and signed emails and presumably encrypted but not signed emails. Here is the rationale:

I think there are implementations out there that don't let you send encrypted but unsigned messages (anonymous encrypted). This stuff seems to bring out the enforced opinions in people.

Flash block size generally affects only writing (and things related to that happen on the on-device FTL, not in the kernel, except for embedded raw flash devices that require specialized filesystems).

There is a general readahead in Linux though, see eg blkdev(8).

For many use cases the small randomish iops rate is the bottleneck (think database index), and because of the small latencies in flash storage you often want to keep the readahead modest absent some detected pattern of sequential io.
This might read like the "masks are not advised and could be dangerous" stuff in a year.
Those platforms want your attention so they will show you more of what you “engage” (tricky buzzword) with, occasionally injecting a bit of noise to try to keep you from getting bored. This is in fact what many critics complain about yet like.

I just tuned FB to show me stuff I wanted by scrolling past stuff I didn’t, “liking” stuff I did/do, and clicking through to read/respond to comments. It’s mostly friend&family updates, apolitical jokes, animal pics and other anodyne stuff fun to see.

And I block ppl who are on the outrage train, typically just for the 30-day automatic cool down and FB gets the message.

It’s my attention and I don’t have to give it to people.
