Unless "the company" is an AI from the future, "the company" is made of people that can possibly be influenced to try something new. Except nothing I said is revolutionary. If you want to hire experienced devs, you'll have to pay more than entry level.
Justice isn't based on probabilities, but rather addressing every single crime. If I were to come up with a novel way of committing murder, that doesn't mean I can carry it out and expect to be ignored because such events are rare. Every time a uniform wearing criminal escapes justice due to corruption is its own injustice, regardless of how uncommon it is when compared with all police interactions.
I'm not trying to. My point is that there is no absolute scale of comfort. We are comfortable with what we are used to. That's why one person's comfort zone is different to another's. When I started to drive seriously it was way less comfortable than cycling for me. Manoeuvring a four-wheeled vehicle around is considerably more difficult. Acceleration is pitiful and you can't stop easily. You have to actually queue behind other cars in heavy traffic! Trapped in the little box in which you must remain, even if walking is now quicker. And just look at how angry it makes people. I've seen people literally go mad stuck in traffic. They're all on edge and the slightest mistake or unexpected behaviour can turn them into a frenzy. And this is meant to be the pinnacle of comfort! Because I don't get wet when there's a little rain?!
Because there is a difference between doing things to benefit the society you live in and doing things because someone from the govt told you to do it and you are worried you will get shot if you don't do it.

Contrary to what other people are saying, this is actually a perceptive opinion that requires understanding the functional difference between our political systems. One of the main problems with political comparisons that most people make is that they understand the system they live in very well, nothing about any other system, and so they see everything through the frame of their own knowledge. Saying that being responsible to the US govt is the same system as China is just wrong, they are nothing alike, there is no comparison.

Also, you fail to acknowledge that this position isn't actually a standard conservative position (if we are comparing to pure theory). Saying that a company should be responsible to: people other than shareholders, and to the govt is a heterodox opinion (practically, this viewpoint is classic Eisenhower Republican though...appropriate venue).

But the reason this opinion is controversial is: you have people who don't like their own govt for various reasons (and know so little about other countries that they will make comparisons with places like China), and China has almost totally co-opted the globalist wing of world politics (again, this group usually understands very little about politics...the difference here is that China being like us fits with their globalist ideology, and they are usually getting paid somewhere to support this view).

And I don't understand why any of this is controversial. Whether your favoured political tribe is in power or not, you should strengthen your country. And that is self-evidently distinct from doing what China is doing, not understanding this is a grave error.

It is nothing to do with "realpolitik". I am not sure what you think that is but it isn't related to anything related to this topic.
NFTs have got people jumping all over digital artworks, which is great. But there's no way to view them in full quality.

Instead, it's all about endless insta scrolls or owning tokens with a link to a work on site that may or may not... everything except actually experiencing these great artworks in detail and at their real size.

Music figured out how to distribute media files eons ago, so this my attempt to expand access to full quality digital artworks in the same way.

It's Spotify style, so you can build playlists and grow your collection. Artists get paid fairly also - 60% of subscription revenue.

I built it in Rails, with basic JS frontend - not super slick but it's up and running. Laptop/desktop only atm, but that's the big screen that the art needs.

The beta is free and feedback very welcome.
Paying taxes is a mandatory explicit action.
Work somewhere where you're the big fish in a small pond. You're forced to wear a bunch of different hats and learn multiple tools across multiple business functions.
Same here, I'm using it all the time with Debian on two laptops (Latitude and Thinkpad) and it's stable for me.

Still, with the current implementation one must disable secure boot to enable hibernation (which I do). Having hibernation and secure boot is the (complex) missing part, see [1] for why.

> A drop-in-compatible replacement was available under GPL, the OpenJDK.

The initiative that led to OpenJDK started in 2006 with the release of the JDK (IIRC, minus some components Sun lacked rights to) in 2007.

Android development started in 2003, with the first beta in 2007.

OpenJDK wasn’t, in any meaningful sense, available for the development of Android.
He and Pompeo repeat the 300K Chinese students in the US and only 36K American students in China as some freedom thing, we're educating all these "spies" (they don't say that, but that appears to be the implication) and Americans are constrained somehow.

Do more than 36K Americans want to study in China? Are applications restricted?
Jeff Atwood has a good post[1] on why something as simple as FizzBuzz is valuable when hiring engineers at any level.

I don't believe in anything past 100% portable IaaS platforms. Within those bounds, careful application of AWS is fine.
Incorrect. Apple's original presentations on Arm Macs suggested that booting other operating systems would be supported, and recently this has been confirmed by two of the engineers who worked on it.

https://twitter.com/NikolajSchlej/status/1339790008589242369
https://twitter.com/XenoKovah/status/1339914714055368704

Although you cannot turn off secure boot on Arm Macs, Apple has deliberately provided a path by which you can prove that you really want to chainload to a user provided bootloader not signed by Apple. From there, obviously, it will be possible to load the kernel of another operating system, such as Linux.
BC banned private MRI clinics a year ago.

They did however bring some under the provincial healthcare fold, so general turnaround times have improved with more scanners... And they are running more often (they weren't running 24/7.

I work in imaging, visited 100s of hospitals in Canada and mainly USA.

Would be uncommon to see a unreported list in USA with exams 24 hours or older.

In Canada it was common to see months.
These are scans performed but not interpreted by a radiologist .

So for urgent cases(like dieing in the hospital), there is hardly any wait and read right away.

But if it's somewhat none urgent (friend waiting 1 year for a MRI for nerve/back pain), you might have to wait awhile for the scan and then the report.

If you in a population dense area, you might be waiting awhile, but may get quicker service in smaller nearby towns(I had a 3 month wait for. Knee scan, went for a 2 hours drive for a scan a week later)

Our public healthcare has caps on how much a radiologist can read/get paid, so there is no incentive in Canada for radiologists go full force.

In USA they are paid per exams, and depending on case types could be reading 100s per day.
As I said its gotten worse, the trend is undeniable.

I mean take a look at some of the greatest hits - it was the FOX news cycle that gave credence to creationism and the debate whether Evolution existed worked. Remember "teach the debate"?

This was a level of FUD that completely outperformed previous work which simply distracted or confused over more recent science like climate change.

Here an entirely established piece of science which is used everyday, even now in vaccines - was made invalid.

The divorce from reality was achieved by lots of hard work by ad and content people, along with the news networks.
Yeah it seems Tim’s journey was about faking it till he ‘made’ it: selling supplements > selling book (about selling supplements + outsourcing) > angel investing
sadly, they are also being shut down!
> it is entirely unfair to describe it as

That's why I wrote "To me Vim seems...". Beyond the fact it's impossible to start using it right away without instruction, everything else is subjective and context-dependent.

> My experience is that the time I spent learning it was well worth the investment.

How? I tried. But I still can't see how its key shortctus are better than the common ones (i.e. how Esc,Shift+G (yes, I just googled it) is better than Ctrl+End) and how its power in applying bulk edits to many places at once can make me more productive (it would mean I write redundant code if it could). What other things does Vim have which other editors/ides don't? I also find coding without JetBrains-level smart code completion a waste of time.
You're part of the problem.
Why limit it to "security product"?

You can ask anyone who uses Teams at work and they'll say it applies to all enterprise software.

I don't know what the answer is when balancing user acceptance/ease of use and business needs.
So there would be ClientHello with greased ECH and SNI and ClientHello with real ECH and without SNI?

Regarding blocking, what prevents Chinese firewall from simply removing ECH extension from all ClientHello packets? Servers that don’t expect ECH would continue to work, those that expect wouldn’t accept connection, mission accomplished.
As somebody with a Linode and an EC2 account, here are some other things to consider:

- Linode's DNS manager is pretty decent, and I've historically used it for both Linode and EC2 machines.

- EC2 t1.micro instances are frustratingly underpowered if you have a CPU spike, and they may "freeze" for as much as a second at time. I'm not convinced that Amazon is price/performance competitive at the very low end.

- EC2's ability to back up volumes to S3 is very handy.

- EC2's ability to spin a new system up alongside your old one, transfer the old IP address to the new system, and then spin down your old system is great.

So if what you want is a low-end Linux box that's online 24 hours a day, Linode can be an excellent choice. And a $100 credit will go a fairly long way.
As yet another college student, while I may not be loaded, I feel that the ability to do freelance work makes my life considerably more comfortable than the average student. A monthly fee wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Now, I say that because I have spent the last 18 months on HN. I'd be an easy conversion. The new signups would be less easy, as it's hard to see the true value in HN until you've spent time here.
I'm mostly using Linux. So that's where i would start should i decide to start something myself.

I'm interested to see your list should you get around to do it :)
Never use closures. If it's worth writing a function at all, it's worth naming it and putting it outside of the current function. It is code you can't reuse without copy/paste since it's just embedded in another function like that. There's also a cognitive load in switching from reading the flow of the enclosing function into some other anonymous function. Cognitive load leads to errors - viz the submission. IMHO closures are a toxic infection. I blame Javascript.
In other words: reduce everyone to the lowest common denominator.
> 2. This is relatively easy. The sandboxed code could "open" handles by calling into an API, and the code could "close" them when no longer needed.

That's easy to specify, but is it good for the user? You've just opened the door to memory leaks on my machine in poorly-written "javascript".
Personally, I'm finding it a bit annoying that they seem to have removed the ability to specify a custom resolution (even manually in the config).

Additionally, there appears to be some incompatibility between it and `primusrun` which is stopping me from playing with full AA; but it runs just fine with AA off, so I'll live.
"copy and paste is the root of all evil."
Software engineers are one of the highest paid professions. How does software production cost 0? Do you mean distribution?
The malware uses basic router exploits and/or guesses default credentials to get into the routers. From there DNS hijacking is easy as pie, as long as the target does not do DNSSEC.

This is not technically attacking websites, only connections served by hijacked routers should be affected. Besides, since the malware intercepts Google Analytics tags to inject ads, any website not using that tracking engine should not be affected.

every time someone posts this I add my 2 cents and say the same, please bring back the karma most useful.
Not true, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion - the OP is saying that it's a necessary filter.
I'm with you, although I do think the UI leaves something to be desired. I'd probably recommend DropBox to my parents -- at least until Windows makes "Live Mesh" just a built in part of Windows.

Question for you, in the old version of Live Mesh there was an Explorer extension, where I could right-click a folder and say, "Add to Mesh". It appears that this is gone and I have to go to the Live Mesh app to add a folder. Is there another way to do it?
> The highly voted comments still float to the top of the page don't they?

Highly voted parent comments. Child comments remain children of a parent.
I think they mean "not voting but still being able to see how people voted on that particular comment"
It has far less value than you might think. When this community was 100% startuppers, that worked better, but now there are so many people who don't have first hand experience that are willing to upvote anything that sounds correct that it's lost a lot of its value. It's now a dangerous positive feedback loop.

High vote counts tend to be very convincing to all but the most discriminating people, it's not the mark of a fool to believe what everyone is telling them is correct, just a sign of inexperience with that topic.

> At the best place I've ever worked, the whole product team would frequently have lunch together. We were happy to do so and we did it on our own, because we really liked each other, not because the company tried to "cultivate" this habit.

> You know what that company did right? It made sure to hire top-notch people. When you're surrounded by people who are smart, capable and interesting, when you're surrounded by people whose achievements constantly challenge you to do better, when you're surrounded by people you respect and admire, then there's no need to worry about lunch.

Totally, totally agreed. I enjoy grabbing lunch -- and even going out for dinner/drinks -- with my coworkers. Why? Because I work with a bunch of awesome people. None of us have to do it, but we do it anyways.
The streaming set up is world class, they have a freaking DECT setup for live translation inside the hall and the NOC is second to none. I'm very jealous of those attending.
You can write reliable programs in C. How about a successful $2.5 billion mission to Mars with 500,000 lines of C?

http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/159637/what-i...

There are a lot of tools available for the design of reliable systems in C. Valgrind is just the beginning. A lot of smart people have put an enormous amount of effort into static and dynamic checkers and theorem provers, as well as standards and guidelines for what you need to do in order to write reliable systems in C. These systems have hard realtime and hard memory requirements.

This is how it works at the extreme end of reliability requirements: you avoid Java and use C, because you'd have to validate the Java runtime anyway, much of which is written in C, and it's just plain easier to validate your C code under an otherwise crippling set of constraints.

And then, as ill as you speak of C, you turn around and plug your Java systems into C systems, such as Varnish, Nginx, Apache, PostgreSQL, or thousands others that you use every day, not to mention the OS itself.

Yes, I agree that it is crazy to write your web app in C. But web apps are not the entire world.
Here's what I do for Firefox and AdBlock Plus:

Under "Filter Preferences", uncheck everything marked EasyList. Under "Custom Filters" add EasyList without element hiding rules and make sure it's checked. Restart. This speeds things up considerably.

On Chromium I don't use AdBlock Plus, it's too much of a memory hog. Instead, I use the much leaner and faster µBlock for dynamic filtering:

This only works if what you are searching for has scrolled past since you started following. If you want to see other occurrences in the file you're out of luck. For example, let's say you are watching to see which error message is generated when something goes wrong, then you want to see when else that error message has been thrown.
I haven't read this article yet but this seems like a good summary of what's going on now: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/wiki/faq
Backslash has no non-computer use since it was invented for ASCII to represent ‘∧’ and ‘∨’ as ‘/\’ and ‘\/’.
In Kubernetes, deploying 10 containers takes a minute or two. I haven't worked with incredibly large deployments, but really deploying any amount of containers could easily take a minute or two if you have enough nodes. There is no downtime. Database inconsistency can cause problems but also any problems like that can be mitigated by doing a two-phase change to the database, and such changes are pretty rare and also devs instinctively avoid making those kinds of schema changes.

(I work on Cloudflare Workers.)

(But in my previous comment I totally missed that chrisweekly said "Cloudfront" and not "Cloudflare", lol.)
It would still take a long ass time to brute force a 1024 unless there is no brute force detection. Alternatively capturing the traffic can allow brute forcing the applied algorithm itself.
> 1, 3 and 4 are true for sign languages as well

That's true so long as the speaker is the one signing, which is probably true in the context of video calls but probably not in the context of TV.
Which of those articles claim allergic reactions from airborne fragrances?

Surveys are not reliable.
I have noticed an interesting trend in our discourse about reading lately - there seems to be more and more moralizing and virtue signaling. So much self-help and "motivation porn" focuses on reading books, as if it's a magical activity that will unlock the best version of oneself. It's part of the new aspirational message - imagine yourself rich, happy, driving a Lamborghini, living off dividends from your stonks, and reading books. The people pushing that message get lots of eyeballs on their content because too many people have come to see reading as a lofty, obscure activity only fully accessible to the morally (and therefore financially) superior.

It's almost like reading has been elevated to a kind of rare alchemy, whereby you can unlock secret cheat codes to life. The feeling that you're in rareified air to actually read books. I think anyone who regularly reads books for pleasure should easily see through this - reading is just a hobby. It's a fun, intellectually challenging, infinitely variable hobby with a very long and distinguished history. But ultimately you could learn just as much about yourself and the world by doing pottery, woodworking, kayaking, knitting or whatever else you like to do with your spare time. Making it into such a self-serious pursuit kills most of the joy (and value, for that matter).

Let's try to make reading commonplace, something we almost take for granted. Of course I read books, you read books, we all read books. Everybody poops, and everybody reads books. Wouldn't that be great? In that world, a Youtube commercial or Medium article promising that you can unlock secret lamborghinis on the moon by reading exactly 18.75 books a week would suddenly be absurdly transparent in setting off everyone's bullshit meters. The question "read any good books lately?" could take on less of a challenging air and more conversational, the way so many people can casually drop 10 quotes from their favorite Netflix show they've been binge watching during their commute to work.

Longform reading is magic because it's rarer than ever - it's an art now, according to people like this author. That's why we have so much performative reading, a cheap replacement for the real thing. I'd rather reading be boring and commonplace, something we do as easily as breathing.
Source code is actually n-dimensional. You only see a slice at a time because our screens are 2d.
No, that would be the Nevada public utilities commission and the FCC.

They aren't establishing a new country, just like everyone else in Nevada they are subject to state and US federal law.
Received this news in my inbox.

My initial impression was that Atlassian was joining in the Business Intelligence tool acquisition party after Looker and Tableau were acquired in the last couple of years, however it seems their motivations may be different as they are immediately shutting down Chartio without even dangling a possibility of an Atlassian replacement product arriving in future.

(I’m certainly not aware of Atlassian currently having any BI offerings?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania is a good example how coal mines are equally dangerous to people who live nearby as a nuclear plant.

Furthermore, the risks of emphysema and cancer due to coal pollution are underrated. Coal causes much more deaths among people who don't live in coal plants than we like to pretend. (Conversely, nuclear is safer on the balance.)
Here's a live demo using React:

I love this. Java may be verbose at times but it's still very easy to understand, fast and stable.
This is spot on. In fact (having TAed a 400-student intro course once) I'm not even sure if assessment scales properly in the larger brick and mortar classes. The professor was using an iClicker for pseudo-pop quizzes at the beginning of class but I noticed that a lot of students would simply give the same answers as their friends next to them. Likewise for the short essay questions in the final and midterm, they had created a massive Google Docs database combining lecture notes which (while on some level showing admirable initiative) also resulted in a number of identical (and, indeed, identically-wrong) answers. I've never taught a MOOC but it seems to me that this sort of hive-mind tendency would be magnified.
I find the 10x difference in productivity isn't usually that evident in singular tasks that a reasonable programmer could complete in a day or less. A difference of 2-3x there is more normal, whereas 10x would be exceptional.

A long, drawn out project is where real productivity difference will become evident though. Developers who don't mire themselves in technical debt can easily become 10x (or more) productive than those who don't.
