steveklabnik,

I was about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. I think the type of people who are most drawn to startups are the ones who go insane working the so called "normal life". I prefer to work at startups - maybe that means I'm crazy. But I prefer my brand of crazy over other people's version of normal.
I still feel as if a small red dot on the floor isn't enough warning that "this door will get you wet". Especially for guests. It should lock or do a better job turning off quickly as it is opened.
Pottering's code appears to just be a proof of concept. It really doesn't make sense to have this behavior in a bash initialization file. Not to mention you'd have to launch your X session from that bash instance (and you'd have to be using a bash-compatible shell to begin with or port the code your preferred shell) to get the desired effect.

That is nice, but I'd rather see how this would be properly implemented in userspace. Pottering was eager to prove the performance increase could be applied to userspace, not how he would integrate this approach with current Linux desktops.

Also, as Linus noted, it would be nice for users to just perform a standard system update and all of the sudden have a more responsive desktop on reboot. If it can be done in userspace, distros should flesh out the userspace code and disable the kernel feature. Once it is reasonably handled in userspace across Linux distributions it can be removed from the kernel.
> "Backdoor" makes it sound like Google built a query page that allows the NSA to enter in an arbitrary account name and just get the data -- on anyone.

Now there's an idea. Now let's hope it's an original thought and nobody has had that idea before you.
Been using Durandal for awhile in production, looking forward to the next chapter.
They were used more recently than the wikipedia article implies. My high school maths teacher worked on Concorde and said how they had a room of computers (all women) that did the various calculations requested.

It also turns out that the floor panels had a huge amount of engineering effort. Whenever other items being designed were blocked, the engineers worked on floor panels.

Every single time (and this will happen constantly) you come across a concept that seems foreign or difficult or even just unintuitive, instead of thinking "It's OK. Programming is hard." you're going to be thinking "This is supposed to be easy. What's wrong with me? I must be stupid."

I wish someone could have told me this when I first started out. This was my struggle years ago when I first started.

It also doesn't help when you have "superstars" around who further compound the issue
Here's something interesting from CES 2015 a couple weeks back.

Hidden in the back of the E-ink booth at CES 2015 was a USB monitor which added a 13.3" E-ink screen to almost any device. And as you can see in the video, it's pretty fast.
American alkalized noodles are also a hobbyhorse of Dave Arnold's; another reason to listen to his (amazing) Cooking Issues podcast, which is amazing and people should listen to it, because it's amazing.
Maybe with the lower price point Lumia phones? I don't know. Maybe they are pushing it really hard like here (Germany). Buy Lumia here ad, buy Lumia there blabla marketing.
Because he was hoping to farm points off other zealots with his hyperbole. I'm not sure if that is better or worse than him actually believing what he typed.

Either way I really can't vote these kinds of people down enough.

Facebook CEO Admits To Calling Users 'Dumb Fucks'

Interesting, what is the reason for the growth in Latin America compared to elsewhere? Does Nokia have a strong brand there?
Actually in our case, it's for compliance and confidence purposes and hatred of American politics and government policy, not the American people.

Not one single company in the financial sector in the UK wants their kit anywhere near the US or in any datacentres with US ownership any more simply because of the PATRIOT act and PRISM etc.

We just moved 2 tonnes of kit into a wholly UK owned DC away from two large primarily US based DC's. We've also cancelled our Amazon S3 storage option and migrated over 540Gb of data back to our kit.

People have paid for all this voluntarily because being responsble for being fucked over by the US government is a big concern. Would you want all your mortgage, insurance and credit scoring data in the hands of a foreign government who religiously ignore data protection laws?
Finally, someone who really gets it. Now our last hope for the next N9x0 is Jolla.
People say a lot of dumb stuff when they're 19.
So ... only to FAA approved configurations, then, as judged by weight distribution and exit time.
By 10 they're able to work for extended periods with minimal help. By 7 or 8, a schedule will get the kids to only interrupt you every half hour or so.

Before then it's luck of the draw. Newborns and toddlers are impossible. Lovely things but they require constant attention. I think it's not possible to hold a regular work schedule until your kids hit 5.

Palo Alto Networks has a massive presence in Frisco, north of Dallas proper and are growing quite rapidly (though I'm uncertain how the current COVID situation has affected their current hiring velocity). I don't work there anymore but have several excellent connections, if there's a role you may be interested in I can try making introductions
> Android is written with deep and casual connections to Google's systems all throughout the codebase. It's like a cockroach infestation. There's no concept of anyone potentially not wanting to connect to their services regardless of how trivial the "value add".

Par for the course in embedded development. Tuere are plenty of bad things to be said about AOSP, but it's still way better than any of its Linux-based forerunners. Remember the OpenMoko?

(Of course, this is not to say that further improvement is not possible! So, I might well agree with the gist of your comment from that POV.)
MuZero is a basilisk from the perspective of Go players.
In one of the universities that I went to, there's a large sculpture of a traffic cone [1]. It's the result of a French law, the "1% artistique" [2] (artistic 1%). It says that for some type of public buildings, 1% of the budget must be used for art that fits into the buildings. Here is the article announcing the cone [3], however the link to the artist's old website is dead.

The artist is named "Lilian Bourgeat", you can find some of his sculpture by looking up his name. He has made other large objects.

That's a very good point. It is sort of demonised in the media but tech people understand encryption and cracking, phreaking, p2p networks, finge topics are our speciality. An intrested mind does not sit in front of a powerful research platform to claim ignorance year after year. People in tech disporportantly ignore crypto and it's a shame.

Why would we want to create another currency system when we feel enslaved to the first one but at the same time aware we are the minority of people, and hold an incredible privilege.

It's easier to pretend you don't understand, or just don't think about it, look the other way and suck on those corporate titties to the tune of 250k USD/year because that's the attitude that got us to the top.
Traefik v1 is much simpler, v2 seemed to introduce so many extra layers which makes the simple stuff harder.
Yes, but I meant not an additional state machine and caching layer. Promise based async/await also have the generators.
Ted Koppel wrote a book about this subject (of our grid’s vulnerability in general) called “Lights Out”. Because it’s Ted Koppel, he had access to some top level officials for interviews. He came away super concerned that no one had any great answers. It was a pretty good read!
Perhaps, but given their sensitivity you would want to comply or face some difficult discussions with intelligence agencies.
I used (and modified) one based on Dreamhost's https://github.com/dreamhost/varnish-vcl-collection/blob/mas... but there's a bunch of others on Github if you search for them. Note that this isn't a shortcut so you don't have to learn VCL... and that the way I did it was to put Varnish on port 80 and the web server on another port. I've seen other configs where a load balancer asks Varnish when it knows varnish should have the answer and otherwise sends traffic directly to the web server. And sometimes your config will vary based on asset type or domain name -- e.g. static.example.org assets might be cacheable forever while your site's pages might only require a 2 minute cache. You can invalidate cached-forever pages with commands for Varnish or by varying the URL using a "cache buster" hash or string in the asset filename. Oh and don't forget to set the storage type Varnish uses to malloc instead of file.
Note that this article is from 1999, which was probably the all-time peak for corporate identity consultants like this.

Quoteth the article "Naseem Javed, president of ABC Namebank in New York, speculates that someday, historians will look back on the late '90s as a low point in the annals of naming."

Yup, sounds about right.
A monad is an abstraction for composing functions that return values with a context by defining how to compose that context. That's it.
I would challenge the assertion that introversion/extraversion are some sort of immutable orientation. These traits can and do change over time. In high school, I tested as an INTJ on the Myers-Briggs. As an undergrad, I tested as ENFP. As an adult, I'm back to being an introvert. Ask me again in five, ten, twenty years from now and you'll likely get a variety of different answers.
Exactly, piracy doesn't benefit movie studios.

"What happens when one company ties its market destiny to another’s rate of innovation? The movie “One OS, Many Partners” that we’ve seen before in Wintel theaters didn’t have a happy ending."

Except for the proliferation of cheap unimaginative grey PC boxes, all over the world. In my life time, yeah. no happy ending.
This sounds like the right order of magnitude for every individual project I ever worked on that had an impact.
>> Also, Java library design often tends towards the obfuscated. [...]Adapters, [...]Implementations and [...]Factories, the usually bloated read/write beans, checked exceptions…

I've been using Java for 10 years+, and never used any of that.
Just a personal opinion. I feel that after the broadcast the hysteria dropped off dramatically. Well at least until the whole Jimmy Savile thing.
While I understand that the author is just trying to be helpful, the provocative title of the article makes me want to scream: "Stop telling me which tool is right for MY job."
Seems like the game of blog "telephone" has gotten a bit out of hand here. The original letter to the senate seems to say that _services_ should be available to all platforms. (Still a dubious argument though.)

By the time we hit TechCrunch it's being worded as, "... if a company makes an app for iOS and Android, they must also make a version for BlackBerry and all other operating systems."

Good link bait though.
Oh, they've been fine with me as well. But with products, "good customer service" translates into "stick it back in the box, put on this label, and set it out for UPS to pick up." Dealing with a lot of home improvement/repair projects that aren't quite perfect seems more complicated. The model can certainly work for a lot of well-defined tasks but, then, I can get things like appliance or straightforward minor plumbing repairs done pretty straightforwardly today. And they look pricey for assembling furniture and the like.
It's disingenuous to ask if the "tainted" investigation is actually linked to the one that produced Ulbricht's conviction?
I read Google News' headlines in the morning to get a "what's happening in the world today" overview. I use Google Reader to track some niche blogs.
I wish they would sell an iDock that allowed USB drives to be hooked to it for local backup / sync. Syncing to a Time Capsule would be great too.

I guess my "dream" dock would have USB for mass storage / keyboard and an hdmi port for playing synced stuff on the tv controlled from the device.
Not necessarily. At my college, attendace is not required for passing. As long as you do well in all your exams and pass all practical your assignements (two or three each quarter), you are ok. So suspension would bw tough but not and automatic fail.
That said, at my college cheating means you are probably expelled, and I'm not aware of suspension as a punishment for anything.
Absolutely agree. They should have started such projects back in February/March 2020. But while small countries can obtain quicker deliveries by ordering better, for large countries this venue is not open as manufacturing capacities are limited. My point was that looking at the problem in terms of how you ordered is misguided. Instead you should look at it in terms of how you have failed to help the manufacturers to expand production capacities.
Why not print dollars (with expiry date) instead of taxes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_in_circulation#Total_...
It depends on the bank, but most allow to do everything online or by phone. Personally I haven't visited a bank office in the last 15ish years; before it was fully online I could do the rest by phone/email.

Actually more and more people use online-only banks now, without any physical office. I couldn't visit my banks even if I wanted to.

Probably exchange students don't know the market and go to the nearest branch, so it might not be the most technologically advanced option.
What makes you think other governments don't have that kind of information or can easily access it from their friends in bigcorp Inc?
Somewhat surprisingly, it depends. For instance, in our case application support is responsible for/interested in the documentation, and they make sure that developers create/update the relevant documentation for each of the release items. Stale comments, on the other hand, need to be identified and addressed in code reviews, and in practice we're not always good at that.
You're not - a flat board works as a wing with enough force behind it. There's a description on how a wing works involving Bernoulli's law - but it's more accurate to think of it how your hand feels when you hold it out the window of a car at speed.

And of course old windmills were just boards - and I suspect they only stop working in the cold if the bearings freeze.
A Dutch facility is producing vaccines ( AZ ) for the UK, as they have been financed from the UK deal.
"paste with formatting" by default is a mistake. the thing you're pasting from and the thing you're pasting to inevitably have different ideas about what formatting is relevant / possible in the given textareas you're copying from / pasting to. it's almost always better to just paste without formatting and then fix formatting (so, the default should have been flipped, but the ship has sailed).

I played around with using hammerspoon to send cmd-shift-v whenever I typed cmd-v but I really needed to make it change depending on which app I was pasting into and that was just past my annoyance threshold.
Fcbk doesn’t deserve to have devs working for them
Before we even get to disposition, some folks simply do not want to do those things.
What other laptop ships with LPDDR4X clocked at 4267?
I agree though that being closer to the cpu isn't having any appreciable effect on latency, but being soldered close to the cpu probably does make it easier for them to hit that high clock rate.
they dont
UK half-assed the lockdown response since March. So when a country lose control, their hands get forced. This leads to even worse outcomes. Witness consequences in US too.

It's a leadership problem, and hard to fix for regular Joe.
The problem here is the high tomorrow in Dallas is supposed to be about 10°F. The typical winter high for Dallas is a bit below 60°F. This means that the demand for heating is about 4-6× what it normally would be for winter.
I'm picking up a weird sentiment from these articles about parler.

Something like... shoving someone so they fall and break their teeth, and then trying to blame them and saying, "it's your own fault for having such poor balance". A coping strategy for guilt? I just meant to harm you a little bit?
That doesn't fit the role of media in this discussion. A crucial element is their (relative) independence. Parties to an issue that have full control over the distribution of their message is what the article is holding up as the _threat_ to traditional media (ie Elon Musk's "crier" is @elonmusk).
Wow, I stand corrected. I did not notice this change - I haven't bought a mountain bike in a number of years.

Last time I bought one ~2011 I swear it was a little steel, mostly aluminum and a tiny fraction of titanium.
I agree. I went through a phase in my childhood where I tried thinking in a similar way for a month or so, and I gave up because it just wasn't an effective way to try to understand things. I suspect many people tried to do so also. It's very human to try to find mechanical, senseful représentations of the world, but the world doesn't want this.
No, you’re wrong even in this narrow sense. GME had a weekly move from $61 to $483, or 8x. $VW went $201 to $1005 (actually split over two trading weeks, in a single trading week it was $324 to $1005). So between 3 and 5x. The weed stocks are even less.

But the thing is what makes GME an especially big risk is not any weekly move, it is the repeated weekly moves. It is the 100x growth in a stock that has essentially no chance of justifying its valuation. This was not the case with your other examples.
FP can be used for the same solution, for which OOP would be used. In many (if not all) cases, the FP solution would be less complex.

The only caveat is in I/O mechanisms. An IO monad is one way to safely manage IO, but it is not the only way.
Have you seen how houses are insulated in TX/LA?
Gruvbox Theme. It didn't really fix my main concerns, but I have been using it for a year or so.
In parent's defense, eating your neighbor is an explicit action. Banning certain actions is indeed inevitable in a society.

Not vaccinating though is an inaction. It's more akin to a right not giving blood every couple of months. Yes, someone may die because of it, but making blood donations mandatory would be a strange thing. Or would it not?
Physicist here:

1. One should be rather specific about what 'the complete foundation' might comprise. The depth of questions one can ask is infinite, but some questions are more important than others. The g-2 experiment is asking a specific question: "Does the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon open a door to discoveries that are inaccessible with modern colliders?"

It is tempting to regard fundamental physics as a study of "Why are we here?", but it is really a study of "How are we here?" The difference is subtle but substantial. If "Why?" is what you're seeking, you are more likely to find that answer within, rather than within the study of physics.

2. Physicists can do a lot more in these directions with greater institutional support. With great sadness, I recently departed a lab, where colleagues next-door were working on this very experiment, precisely because a collision between funding rules and administrative priorities made further progress within my specialty unsustainable. I was the third postdoc in a row to do the same; not for lack of scientific promise nor ability to attract grants.
Keep the relevant enforcement agencies fed and watered for starters, and the rest goes to govt as a contribution towards the usual things that taxes pay for.

My understanding from listening to Musk's announcements since SpaceX was relatively a new company was that the real differentiater cost-wise for the Falcon 9 merlin engine is the manufacturing process, not the rocket itsself.

I seem to remember Elon saying this himself in a relatively recent announcement. I believe it was the one where they unveiled the human pod thingy to go ontop of the falcon, but could be wrong. Either way, they use modern design and manufacturing methods, where the competitors like ULA use methods developed in the 70s and refined slightly in the 80s.
Exactly my thinking. Maybe they literally don't expect you to put in more hours. But if there is no specific limitations others will spend more hours to "out-star" you, because the star stays and the others have to go. And because the other guy is doing it, you also have to do it. And in the end everybody works 80 hour weeks. I love counting working hours and holidays because in the end it means I really can take this time off.
This is very easy to imagine but needs quite a bit of testing. Human sensors are taken care of 16/7 approximately, not so with mechanical ones. A pilot can always say "I feel sick." A frozen sensor cannot.
Redundancy is a response to a lack of trust in the reliability of a component.
Honestly, I'm in two minds about it. If I didn't have the domain knowledge I do (I did a masters in another field before starting cs, and since have performed research in many varied fields of interest) I wouldn't be half as successful or have anywhere near the range of experiences to draw on.

Of the ~50 or so coders I've hired over the years for my co, the best were always ones with domain knowledge from another field. They weren't the best coders from a technical point of view, but were the best at being able to deliver working software to clients faster. More often than not the ones without extra knowledge were unable to grasp the domain problems, and their solutions always needed rejigging.

Edit: By being unable to grasp, I mean that the distance from their solution to the optimal solution was always quite large. More often than not their design, while designed for extensibility was flexible in a dimension that didn't move towards the optimal solution. So the extra engineering time was wasted.

I don't know that I would hire a pure CS grad again, and all the interns I have now I strongly recommend they concurrently study other fields. Computers are a means to an end. I suggest studying both the means and the end.
I'd just like to point out that illusions are often as good as the real thing.

If your brain believes you are more alert, chances are, to all intents and purposes, you will be more alert.
You can also use a public Picasa web album - I'm sure in light of this announcement, they'll be all sorts of bing-photo-like albums appearing.
I was under the impression that Nokia (and basically everyone else) had standardised on the micro-USB standard going forward but they specifically state it's the 2mm Nokia connector. You can apparently get adaptors designed for those with both old and new Nokia phones, perhaps they'll include one with it.
I see. Didn't know IBM builds those. Good to know, thanks. :)
Absolutely. For a long time they basically all but implied, "the car can do it, we/you just need the regulators to allow it".

Not so much.
It's necessary, but not sufficient. You still need a reason for users to switch to your platform, but you remove a big reason not to.
I wish more people noticed this. A lot of the what both the left and right are asking for is really identical.
