Why do you need this in EU-West? I'm planning on building AMIs for the other regions once this is more production-ready, but at the moment I can't see why it would matter which region it's in.
Interestingly enough, my former LinkedIn email was on the Gawker list but my current email with them (to which they sent the alert) was not. Guess that means they are holding on to all previous email accounts?
"Good morning. In WallNet news, the Karma continues its rise against the BitCoin in heavy wagering over whether cloud computing giant Facebook will kill the popular Java language following an acquisition of foundering Internet retailer Oracle corporation."
This is take seems a little intellectually dishonest. The very next sentence is, "this works particularly well for SaaS applications where each customer is isolated from one another." Sharding doesn't work for all applications. Social networks are one example where all data can potentially interact with all other data.

Sarcasm noted though. :)
The SEC has a whistleblower program. A material breach of a public US company is definitely of interest to them.
so from what I can tell, people tried node-based "cancelling" where they try to ostracize people and organizations associated with the target person, and it failed and this is the tail-end of that saga

the FSF folded in the past, and has since called the weakness of this vendetta and particular approach, and it would be redundant to even rehash the particular comments Stallman has said or evaluate his leadership

people have tried tying morality to prosperity, and there is no reality where that is related

okay, anyway

Thanks! We launched yesterday so we don't have past examples yet :( as soon as we send our first print, we will upload some photos of how it was printed and the final result.

We are awarding our first members as we understand it's hard to trust without examples :) thanks a lot for your comment!
Small difference: VS Code isn't on official apt repos, so they added the Microsoft repo by default on their learning-based linux distribution that is supposed to help children learn with ease.
> Last I checked Twitter is not a state-run operation that will arrest or kill people who report information that it doesn't agree with.

This isn't Pravda, that was KGB. Pravda is a better analogy as it was a newspaper. Your comment just flamed with additional hyperbole. There's no need for that here
Yeah a known side effect of some (most?) ADHD medication is loss of appetite.

Yeah, of course we do!

And that is perfectly rational.
Yes, these people make decisions that effect a huge number of lives and they should be held to account, if they will not respond to electronic communication or talk on the phone then it is traditional journalism to track them down and put those questions to them.
From the link (and in the same rule):

What would qualify someone for that? And why would those two (Noether and Curie) not qualify?
To be fair, they challenged sometimes like Kinect, PSVR but it's hard to success for optional hardware.

Today we're going to delve into the murky depths of Jungian psychology, and examine one of its most popular surviving manifestations. The Myers-Briggs test is used all over the world, and is the single most popular psychometric system, with the full formal version of the test given more than 2,000,000 times a year. But is it a valid psychological tool, is it just another pop gimmick like astrology, or is the truth somewhere in between? ...
It's unusual, but it's also obviously unusual. So, do you take the obvious story, or do you figure out something new? Not that I'd expect Newsweek to do anything else.
I want to say mine are nitpickings anyway, the library is very nice and I share your dislike for complex unit test libraries. I had to use the Boost Testing framework recently and that was a pain.

Don't know if it is relevant, but I think you can also work around the parentheses problem using some preprocessor magic. Boost Preprocessor does something similar in its handling of lists, but I haven't been using it for a very long time and I don't remember how it did the trick.
Oh, Comic Sans!
This strategy of luring candidates with the illusion of exclusivity would probably work for a lot of job segments but not startup devs. It is a buyers market for devs and this approach seems to neglect that.

Most tech people with a good resume would be reluctant to to "give" something upfront for free like a full resume/personal info because there are less painful options.

I would like to see this site either lessen their standard for required info or offer a data collateral (i.e. glassdoor.com shows you salary info for the pain of signing up).
I learned a ton about startups, and wrapped up my involvement in the first one that was actually mine, rather than just being an employee.

I finally got over myself and released Hackety 1.0.

I've met tons of people, made a lot of new friends (through HN and non, in real life and outside of it), and improved myself a bunch.

I think next year will be better. I have three main goals:

* work for others at most two days out of every week, on average.

* Start taking better care of myself, via exercises and better eating.

* Write something every day.

* track my time every day, inspired by lionhearted
As I understood it, some of the guys who leaked material for Wikileaks did so by using Tor normally, like would a Chinese journalist. Wikileaks doesn't need to crack or misuse Tor in any way to receive leaks through it.
It doesn't matter how "plausible" it is, only whether or not it's actually happened. If it has not actually happened, then it carries no weight in an argument.

Parables are good for teaching children lessons, but not as evidence for a particular viewpoint.

(Also, you may not hear people say things like "The poor always win." That's because that side prefers to a different sort of emotional appeal; I hear things that express the same sentiment all the time. Nobody discusses economics in good faith, which is part of the problem.)

Oh, I guess they could have meant as a way to pretend to be more valuable than they intended on being.

Does Twitter have right to kick someone out for being gay or being Asian or for belonging to some LGBT group?

According to your logic, Twitter can do that.
Why do you think that people being uninvited from speaking at universities is "one of the most destructive parts of our current epoch"?
The Moderna dose is already more than 3x the dosage of the Pfizer ones. 100mcg vs 30mcg. Would be great if they could cut that down and still be effective.
This made me realize that one reason many of us use cloud hosting is that our home internet is lacking, whether through caps or the lack of fiber deployment. It was easy for Congress to railroad the rights of private property owners and cities for 5G but they can’t seem to do it for fiber... Maybe this can get Conservatives to realize that unfettered broadband access lessens the power of the hosts.

Well, there's WebWorkers. They're a bit limited due to the whole message passing thing but still quite powerful.

Aside from that: could whomever downvoted the person above me explain what's misinformative about their comment?

I had gut issues and the tests didn’t show anything, I went primal (like paleo but with dairy and using a blender to make shakes) and I’m fine now.

I’d second the other comments and suggest you research SIBO, gluten intolerance, and fringe diets such as paleo; and do an elimination diet.
Let me add to this by talking about cyclic groups. All cyclic groups are equivalent to addition modulo an integer, but they can be different computationally: to go from an element of your cyclic group to the equivalent integer may be very difficult. For addition modulo n, the computational Diffie-Hellman problem is effectively:

Given integers 1, a, and b, compute ab. This is obviously easy. The problem of translating from an arbitrary cyclic group to addition mod n is the discrete log problem, so perhaps that explains why it is important to cryptography that it be hard for your group.
I can't speak for anyone else, but in NYC I've been finding I have to take my mask off outside or I literally can't see, because that's how much my glasses fog up. Like, I walked straight into a pole one night.

After that, I decided that the increased risk of getting COVID was lower than the risk of getting hit by a car.

I do know it's not this bad for everyone, and I have tried different methods to mitigate it—anti-fog spray, different masks, etc. From what I've read it's largely dependent on the shape of your face, so I assume I just lost the lottery there.
> It is uncharitable and silly to believe that a good person could not have those positions in good faith.

No it is not. Certain things are just incompatible. "good person" and "supporter of torture" are a good example of this.

The illusory "effectiveness" of torture doesn't matter, you may as well ask if slavery is profitable, as others have pointed out. If you're asking that then you have already lost your way.

If this upsets you, then that's on you.
The biggest cross-platform difficulties are the emacs version and OSX.

Make sure all your computers have the same major version (all 23 or all 24; I recommend 24 as it actually has a package manager). OSX was for several years a problem for emacs as there were two or three incompatible ports that did things differently; it's probably gotten better over time.

As preavy said, the rest can be handled by checking the OS type, machine name, user name, etc in your init files (they're not just config files, they're emacs lisp programs that get run during startup).

I keep mine in a git repository to make syncing the changes over time easier.
I think it's amusing that the author does not think iPhones are a fashion statement. :)
OK, so they understood correlation and causality as applied to a particular use case. "Hey, we ground up the pigments real fine one day, and this nifty effect popped out."

But to imply that they had any understanding of "nanotechnology", or even modern optics is well -- typical sloppy minded, modern science journalism.

I think they are talking about the patent that is 3 years old and allows them to turn functions off, no mention of the camera. Like the rest of the media they have immediately jumped to the worst case scenario.
Home Depot's tool rentals are not cheap, they do not get delivered, and they are only for tools that are VERY expensive and usually large and bulky otherwise - things like stumpgrinders and trenchers, concrete saws and jackhammers.
Ah, yes, "psychological science".

* The "science" whose interesting published results are forgotten in a fortnight.

* The "science" that won't create testable, falsifiable theories, then abandon those that are falsified.

* The "science" that was recently described this way: "... three investigative panels today collectively find fault with the field itself. They paint an image of a "sloppy" research culture in which some scientists don't understand the essentials of statistics, journal-selected article reviewers encourage researchers to leave unwelcome data out of their papers, and even the most prestigious journals print results that are obviously too good to be true." (http://news.sciencemag.org/people-events/2012/11/final-repor...)

* The "science" that is science in name only.
Yes this was a interesting benchmark, nice work. One question though, why are you using an old version of GCC (4.7)?

4.8 has been out for quite some time, I did a quick comparison using your benchmark between gcc 4.8.1 and clang 3.3 on my system and clang still won but the difference was ~3.5% on my machine.
She had already withdrawn (not expelled) long before that fairly sympathetic article was posted. I am very confused why you think it proves anything.
So are there any good example where this trick gives you answers to otherwise very hard problems?
Simple Sabotage Field Manual (Office of Strategic Services, 1944) is full of suggestions along these lines, which appear to still be in wide use.
This thread shows the problems with both approaches. Being handed a design that isn't appreciated but expected to follow tends to go off in a direction that's unproductive, especially if there isn't someone who understands the value and maintains the key parts so as not to lose it.

The other problem is that there aren't enough experts and how can they become experts without strengthening expert muscles. They have to practice and learn.

Depending on the distribution of abilities, what I've found to be give the most leverage is to convey a few specific design ideas significant for a particular project to someone on the project who can understand or at least commit to using them. You can check in from time to time and provide some input and clarity. Regardless of good intent on all sides, results still vary. But if done smoothly, everyone gets better at working together on high-level tech things and there's no resentment that doesn't fade away quickly.
Jane Street is the No. 1 user of OCaml for a very long time, although sponsoring it, they don't have a board seat on the OCaml Foundation.

You don't need to provide a board seat to any company that tries to throw money at you, just because they use your language.

Just make them a sponsor, and there are examples of this.
It’s true. I’ve never read an article about something I had first-hand knowledge of that didn’t get at minimum one major part of the story completely wrong. And then I go ahead and wholly accept everything in every article about things I don’t have first-hand knowledge of.
I’ve been “quoted” in a couple press releases over the years. I never spoke nor wrote any of the quotes attributed to me. The comms team sends me a draft and says “looks good?” And I respond “yeah, whatever, don’t care”. The first time I was really surprised as I had taken the time to actually write something they could quote, but they didn’t want it.
> Europeans cut down all their forests and killed most of the native wildlife... we want it too.

This is a fallacy. The forest in Germany covers 11 million hectares, 32 percent of the total area of the country

The forest in Ethiopia covers 4 millions of hectares, a 4 percent of the total area of the country.

Ethiopia had the same 30 percent of forest than Germany in the previous generation, but.. huh, they chosed to distroy it.

And now, here comes the bad drought and bleached bones, and the next rock concert for collecting european money for Ethiopia, and ONG projects, and the money spent in fire weapons and endless wars because nature is not here anymore to save the day...

It seems in retrospect that exercising your "right to press the self-destruction button because cavemen in Europe killed european rhinos long time ago", is not a wise move.
Interesting. I've just been a casual observer to these types of things and haven't really considered total memory used but that's a big issue on devices like mobile, or even server environments where there many be many jobs concurrently.

It's too bad that the Squash benchmark, linked in the github repo, doesn't have total peak memory usage. Do you know what the best contenders are as far as that's concerned?
Now it occurs to me I may have been making a distinction (about the nature of innovation) where there arguably isn't one. Still, I think it's fair to ask exactly what Slack is doing right. If there is a real innovation, someone should be able to tell us (there've been some good responses); otherwise it's just lucky network effects or a fad.
Not all software purports to be a store of value
The recent experience in a foreign country may affect you negatively. I moved back to the US after about 15 years in China and had a difficult time getting a job in the USA. But now that I have my most recent job in the US things are much better.

As for your stats, they look normal. It's a numbers game and the interviews have a large element of luck - some will click well, most will not. In the end, its just a shit job!
I've gone down this road and think for most users prerendering is a better approach.

Switching to a static site framework or SSR usually means throwing away your existing processes only to be tied into a limited framework that most likely doesn't work with all the tools you already use or want to start using.

Just search for SSR on the issue trackers of some your dependencies to see what I mean - just recently a React Beta/RC broken NextJS sites...

The right approach( as we see it is to stick a prerendering and maybe a CDN in front of your site and call it a day.

Shameless self-promotion:*

I/we run oyato cloud (beta), a proxy service (à la Cloudflare) that does prerending, etc. It's per page so you can e.g. code your site in React, but have only the landing page statically rendered e.g. https://oya.to/

Thanks, thought it was perhaps a little boring - but useful! These services are typically based on creating a smtp handshake with the receiving server to check for the existence of the address before sending. Works with most receiving providers
I'm wondering how far back you're going, because when I think of "the old web" I think of being intentionally misdirected to a worthless website that had temporarily won the SEO fight and "Punch The Monkey And Win A Prize" flashing ads. Not to mention popups, pop-unders, and all manner of ad-spread malware taking advantage of under-policed ad networks coupled with near monoculture of OS.

Today's internet experience is much improved
If you consider this to be exploiting the consumer then this is a good example for the textbooks of how, in a free market, there has to be some regulation to prevent exploitation of those at the edges of society.

It’s exactly the same argument for laws against the most vulnerable types of sex work, or selling body organs donated by the living. Without those laws, those who are most desperate will be able to act in desperation, to someone else’s benefit, with society doing nothing to stand in the way.

It’s probably time ad-tech was re calibrated on this spectrum before we race to the exploitative-bottom there as well, and build a shopping mall that we don’t want on the open common land that we do.
> tell me, what part of "we elites eat caviar while the poor starve" is remotely communist?

It’s what communism is like in practice. You can’t say ‘that’s not true communism’ when that’s how every communist state ends up.
You are not alone. It is not you that is broken, it is the world around us that is broken. Things cannot continue the way they are. This system we live under, it corrupts everything. It inserts a fundamental tension into every human interaction we have, it drives a wedge into every relationship. It rips us apart and turns us against one another.

But it doesn't have to be this way. There are other ways to live, there are other worlds we could have. We don't have to incentivize predation. We don't have to reduce human life to dollar values. We can make a world that does not find its fundamental basis in self-interest, we can have a world where everyone is not fundamentally, irrevocably alone.

I recommend that you try to see if you can find a local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, or any local group looking to further the establishment of a Solidarity Economy. Don't throw your life away because you know this world is wrong; make it right. We are out there, and we need you.

I started parametric geometry or CAD with AutoLISP, but you were tied to AutoCAD.
Then I found Blender in the late 90's and early 2000's, and used Python to do some cool stuff. FreeCAD was my next attempt at using the engine without the GUI, but most of my daytime work in engineering is on Autodesk Fusion or Inventor, or in Rhino. Then I found Rosetta[1], a cool attempt at creating a geometry grammar and a backend for popular CAD programs like AutoCAD or Rhino. You code in Rosetta, a Racket DSL/library, and it renders in the CAD backend. I actually used it to generate a spherical truss dome that I could analyze structurally, change parameters, and reload in the analysis. I was almost at the point of doing my own version of generative design assist that Autodesk now has working. I started to think about writing a backend for FreeCAD, because I prefer Lisps over python for creative coding. I'll have to check CadQuery out now that it has moved from FreeCAD to OCCT. I still like writing AutoLISP for fun. Still not a fan of python for no good reason other than the biased reason that Lisp makes me happy, and python doesn't. CadQuery's Jupyter interface seems like a good sandbox to experiment with if the speed is good for iterative or historical design.

> asking someone who works in a McD kitchen

While that may have answered the "how", only through this type of process could the author have answered the "why".
I think he brings up important points that are useful to keep in mind. You don't want to put the cart in front of the horse, but you can't ignore this type of stuff either.
Not directly related, but this post made me think of our evolving "need" for ever more technology in our everyday lives. When using apps becomes as mainstream as having a mobile phone or having internet access at home, even those of us who think we get along fine day-to-day without apps will, I think, come to believe we need them to function, just as I now think I could not live my life without reliable internet access.
When I heard about this long ago, I assumed it was just a mechanism they used to remotely monitor some equipment was still running without having to have staff on premises there. Probably remotely detecting power outage or damage was precisely what this is sort of thing was for.
We could also notice that UW+VW is a subspace of (U+V)W, and therefore the following statement is valid:

dim(U+V+W)<= dim(U)+dim(V)+dim(W) - dim(UV)-dim(UW)-dim(VW) + dim(UVW).

So the result is weakened, but not entirely lost.
