It is more complicated, but that's how communication works; most people do not mean anything close to the literal wording they use -- "Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded".

If you refuse to "play that game", then you get to be offended a lot more often, but you will also have to draw a distinction between how you understand communication from in-group and out-group, which seems to me to be even more complicated. :)
That’s the reason they’re having the hearing, the point is that the CEO is bringing this up and blaming an intern for the massive breach when it’s pretty clearly either a red herring or a complete lapse in security.
I like the apple tv interface, but I really disliked the remote that ships with it. The touchpad like interface feels really awkward, i would lift it up the wrong way pretty much every time. I remember reading about an apple certified 3rd party remote that was more like a traditional tv remote but that was only sold in the european market for some reason. If they ever decide to switch back to a proper remote i'll take a look at apple tv again. I'll keep running a roku til that happens.
Just works vs. just works and also uploads screenshots of what you’re watching for ad targeting analysis isn’t much of a contest.
But compared to what jart has done, those were effectively cheating. ;) They just smooshed multiple binaries into a single file.
It sounds like Facebook is running into a very controversial form of selling counterfeits. Some land is legal to sell, but some is not and it is the responsibility of the platform not to facilitate crime. In this case Facebook is failing to vet their advertisements, so it should stop offering this service until it is capable of doing so within the confines of the law.
For me, I can't use it on macOS because it freezes for several seconds any time I open a document, try to scroll, etc. Thankfully I don't need to open doc and xls files much.
Say we implemented this scenario, can we walk though what would happen next:

- What do you expect would happen to Uber prices?

- How do you expect that change would affect overall demand for the service?

- From there, how do you expect this change of demand (if any) would affect the take-home pay of the drivers?
I agree, but I think it’s valuable to make it explicit. Many people talk about requiring this or that as though it has no cost beyond just asking people to do it.
The alternative would be showing "I can't tell you what happens if you click here". An interesting question if that's better or not.

Yes. Observe what happens to the URL shown when you right-click the link.
BT spec is huge. We need smaller and developer friendly specs.
What's the alternative, to keep providing them with the knowledge and material?
I work in the fantasy sports domain with my primary focus building league management/draft software. I am both the "designer" and the developer of the tools I make. And I honestly wouldn't describe myself as someone who is overly pedantic about "design" in general.

But you may be surprised how often (and consequential) something as small as 2px padding, or line heights, or borders, or... [the list is just endless] can affect the final product. Especially once space starts becoming an issue (or you care at all about alignment).

The components of such software as the above are not "cards" and "lists" and "buttons", rather, it's "rosters" and "depth charts" and complex tables full of stats that need to be sliced and diced in all sorts of ways. A generic library (especially the kind that loves putting large swaths of spacing between things) is just not tenable.

Tailwind completely absolves the issues of managing literally hundreds of bespoke components on screen at once -- none of which can/should be reused in any sane sense of the word. Classic CSS quickly becomes a huge pain for the above. It's just... simpler to slap all of the styles inline right into the element. It took me no more than 2 days to become rather adept at using (and extending!) tailwind. At this point I simply cannot imagine doing it any other way.
Also, the assumption of balance bikes is that you have lots of time/energy to let the kid learn.

Training wheels make a bike rideable very quickly.
perfectmotherfuckingwebsite does it right: enough contrast that everyone can read it, not too much to be painful.

motherfuckingwebsite does it right, too: follow the preferences (which in my case is almost exactly the same as the perfectmotherfuckingwebsite)

The worst are websites with far too little or far too much contrast that don't even follow preferences. At work I've had to repeatedly go against designers wishes refusing to implement their design and saying: I'll implement you anything within of 4.5:1 to 10:1 contrast ratio. But I won't go below that (no, I can't make the text 10px tall in #c0c0c0 on #f0f0f0) nor above that.
Yeah Adecco is used by every major software company. There was a big lawsuit though saying that you could only be contractors for 2 years if they were doing the same job as regular employees.

I actually hate my Dyson vacuum (animal 8 I think, or something like that). To me it's absurd that it has a trigger - very inconvenient when carrying it around, and tiresome to use for extended time. Made me think that Dysons are form over function, so the linked article plays well into my bias.
Thank you. I was disappointed to discover the link was to a video.
Google found that the main cost of context switching isn't really in the syscall boundary but in the task scheduling. That's why their linux fork has optional userspace scheduling of kernel threads with the switchto syscalls[0]. Essentially, if your thread already knows which thread should run next, it can context switch to it without having to schedule in the kernel, which is exactly the situation in these bucket brigade benchmarks.

This benchmark as written is probably underestimating kernel task scheduling cost since only 1 task is runnable at any 1 time, while a realistic multi-threaded system will have more runnable threads to juggle.

0: http://pdxplumbers.osuosl.org/2013/ocw//system/presentations...
Those benchmarks measure one very specific scenario: serving lots of small requests concurrently. Async handles that well because that's exactly the scenario where a single epoll_wait() call will return lots of events.
How is it possible to build once and run on both Windows and Linux if Windows uses the PE executable format and Linux uses ELF?

Is there some kind of trickery to make a file both PE and ELF valid? Doesn't magic numbers conflict?
Better or equal in all the ways measured. But some things aren't measured, maybe because they're obvious to the author or because they're harder to quantify.

* Rust's async ecosystem [1] adds a lot of complexity over simple threaded code.

* Rust's async ecosystem doesn't interoperate as easily with C libraries written in a simple threaded way. (And it's debatable which interoperates more easily with C libraries written with a different event loop.)

* async tasks can't be preempted, so concurrency will fall off a cliff if they run on O(cpus) threads and involve long-running computations or accidental blocking.

I think it's reasonable to ask if these numbers are enough better to justify all that, particularly given the disappointing "this advantage goes away if the context switch is due to I/O readiness".

And to go back and argue pro-async for a moment, io_uring might eliminate that disappointing caveat.

Then again, on the pro-thread side, there's Google's interesting fibers model that might solve some of these performance issues. [2] Also, "~17µs for a new kernel thread" is the wrong number, since you can avoid that cost with a simple thread pool.

Personally I think some things are better written as async, but it's a mistake to impose it on everything. For example, if you're writing a web app in Rust, I think you're usually better off writing threaded request handlers and having a mechanism for them to interact with the async hyper code. The hyper code is better off as async because an Internet-facing server might have an enormous number of connections in keepalive state.

[1] or maybe I should say ecosystems, plural, given the current tokio vs async-std divide.

Many credit cards literally give cash back (in the form of a statement credit).
A meaningless comparison. Linux, being a preemptively multitasking OS, switches thread contexts regardless of what you're running.

So the Rust async context switch is on top of the regular Linux context switch, not instead.
i like open source languages, not corporate "open" source crap.
I think you are forgetting that sociopathy, in particular the inability to feel empathy, is a real thing.
Catullus on the front page of Hacker News, huh? Had the pleasure of spending most of Latin class in my senior year of high school reading him. (Or rather, the poems of his that our teacher could let us read without getting pearl-clutching parents on the other end of the phone with her. Not to worry, we knew where to find the rest.) Here are some of my favorites of his that are a bit off the beaten path:

- Catullus 16, which might be the oldest thing that we could properly call a diss track: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catullus_16

- Catullus 45, a poem about two lovers that's proof people have always had an appetite for camp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catullus_45

- Catullus 46, an earnest, wistful poem about breaking camp with the arrival of spring and bidding the former strangers, now friends, goodbye as you all pursue the aims that brought you together in the first place: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Translation:Catullus_46
Sometimes I'll do badass stuff in Rocket League, and my wife will ask "Did you mean to do that?" and the answer is "yes, but I wasn't thinking about it" But if a shot is particularly unfamiliar and the pressure high enough, I'll think about it, and flub.
I’m actually still using the pay-once app. There are hardly any functional changes between that app and the new web-based app.
Why should we care what you find interesting or uninteresting?
Christine Lagarde (head of ECB) also got a lot of flak for announcing that the european central bank will keep reducing it's exposure to CO2 intensive companies.

At this point the amount of self harm in the population is so great that there is nothing to be done. Is this the curse of right wing populism? Why do disenfranchised people love voting for people that don't care about them? Trump didn't win the election but he still had lots of support even though he was only looking out for himself (and others like him) during his presidency.

Green investments are such an incredibly easy way to implement jobs programs yet people hate on them because they believe not subsidizing anything is more important than solving real problems like domestic underemployment. Yes, when I talk about green investments I am not even considering how you are doing something for the planet, I'm just talking about the economic impact of building up a domestic industry. For all intents and purposes you could also have spent money on maintaining roads or building lots of houses for all I care but when you listen to someone like Trump he would spend it on useless crap like coal. There are very little employment opportunities (if you ignore the work needed to undo the CO2 emissions) in a dying industry. But hey, it's got high visibility and is an emotional topic so lets shoot renewables down in favor of it even though you had more to benefit from the "green scam" (hyperbole) than coal.

China is doing an extreme amount of jobs programs. All those ghost cities are there to employ construction workers first, sell capital to wealthy individuals and eventually be populated by immigrants. They also loan money to developing countries and build infrastructure for them.
UI definitely reminds qbasic and other similar IDEs of an era (turbo pascal, turbo cpp, etc.). And docs on lang + stdlib would be very good!
I spent most of the day sitting around San Diego airport waiting for my delayed flight to leave, and saw a lot of very bored people. I also saw a bunch of people with iPads, who looked as happy as could be. Surely travel is the killer app for a tablet?

I remember one question. List the directors that have directed at least 20 movies and acted in all of them. This is fairly tricky, and returns a list of mostly explicit movie directors.

What's more fun though is a sparql endpoint. So you can query it and link to it on your own sites. I found this one on a quick google search (couldn't find the one I looked at before).

you didn't mention the most important aspect of this story: your country of origin. things are very different for those from, for eg. australia vs being from, for eg. columbia

sounds like you need to either pay somebody to marry you, or sneak out of the country and go to a third-nation, live there for a while and apply for residence via your parents from there

Actually not a bad idea :P
That's a legally required quirk of credit unions; in order to get a federal charter/license to operate, they have to define a field of membership[1].

That said, I've never had a credit union bring up membership requirements post-joining, and have been able to both use existing accounts and open additional accounts at credit unions long after no longer qualifying for their field of membership.

A lot of credit unions even participate in shared branching[2], which lets you use the physical branches of one credit union to manage the account you have with another. Which comes in handy for the few things you can't use ATMs or online banking for, such as large transactions beyond ATM limits or depositing cash.

It just happened that they were non-Americans. Americans could have had the same fate on 737 MAX. It's not like those non-American pilots were stupid or anything. They were simply hidden some information about operating the plane.
I know. My point is that this idea of innovation should not be extended to any realm outside of software. By pushing themselves to become the central way to connect people, they changed and broke society: civil discourse, increased tribalism and polarization. They broke a good part of this generation: people growing up with anxiety due to a sense of inadequacy caused by seeing only the facade of their peer group (the instagram profile) and not the true depth of their characters. Doom-scrolling. Slacktivism.

These the type of bugs that should never be accepted and are hard to repair. Element client failing to ring on a call is a nuisance. I can call the person back. My teenage cousins who are growing so socially inept I worry they won't survive for a day outside of their homes without a cellphone? The arguments I had with my wife over her Instagram habit and the fact that she does not see how that relates to her insecurities/anxieties? That will be a lot more work to fix.
Right now, I would say, I would not have to worry about getting into a cold and icy car. But in the summer ...

There is a device that does all of that complete flawlessly, consumes single watts, requires no exotic materials, costs few dollars in mass production, fits on a business card, and is manufacturable in millions.

It's called radar. Accentuation on just anything else is the best proof that they never took the task seriously.
Yes, this is somewhat true -- I know several professors that accept virtually any student as an advisor, provided they're willing to work on their over-arching research program.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, though. In some of these fields, one of the bottlenecks seems to be the low numbers of researchers worldwide in the area. While the students do provide cheap labour, they also (depending on the fame of the professor) get immense networking resources. Since the field has comparatively few people, the big names all know each other, and all help get their students hired post-thesis.

Nepotism? Perhaps. But for the research program I'm thinking of in particular, if the problem does get solved, it'll revolutionize mathematics. Talking to some of the students involved, I feel that's why they're willing to put up with being cheap labor -- they're getting paid in happiness and a feeling of being worthy.
I'm not an expert on the issue, but I believe the Stackoverflow post at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2454281/when-is-unchecked... explains why @uncheckedVariance is currently used without all the condescension from the above post, for anyone who is curious.

Otherwise, I found the article very valuable. First, it shows you how to extend the library with your own collections. Second, I learned more about how to use Scala's language features to build an advanced library or abstraction by reading about their architecture. The library provides a good example of how to use interface and implementation traits, how to organize a complex class hierarchy (and when the type system might still get in the way of that hierarchy), and how to use implicit arguments to avoid code duplication, among other things.

For anyone even a little interested in Scala, this article, along with the one explaining the API from a user perspective at http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/collections-api/collect..., make for a very interesting read.
Jonah Lerer, the author of the article is a brilliant guy, but a lot of his writing makes interesting claims that don't really hold up when you get into the details. In Geoffrey West he seems to have found his perfect subject: "While listening to West talk about cities, it’s easy to forget that his confident pronouncements are mere correlations, and that his statistics can only hint at possible explanations."

And as davidmathers pointed out: "Every fundamental law has exceptions."

Lehrer finds a really interesting angle to explain something, tries to apply that to a lot of things, and that's when it falls apart. See http://www.amazon.com/Proust-Was-Neuroscientist-Jonah-Lehrer...
Dojo has many similar features - compilation, dojo.require().. might be a consideration as well if this is attractive.
I like that he is using his physics background to find equations for cities, however, is it really a big surprise that if you know a cities area, country and population you can guess the average income to 85% accuracy? To me that seems rather obvious.

(population * (personal space)) / area = average income

solve for personal space:

((average income) * area) / population = personal space

..............

SF

Using wikipedia we can find the population of San Francisco and the area. We can now solve for how much personal space people like in the USA.

((average income) * area) / population = personal space

I can only find per capita income for counties...

City and County of San Francisco:

average per capita income: $34,556

area: 600.7 km²

population: 776,773

($34,556 * 600.7) / 776,773 = 26.7

So USA's personal space is 26.7 $km² per person

...............

LA

Lets try Los Angeles County:

average per capita income: $20,683

area: 10 517.9 km²

population: 9,802,800

remember our original equation:

(population * (personal space)) / area = average income

(9,802,800 * 26.7) / 10 517.9 = $24,884

$24,884 / $20,683 = 83%

Not the 85% goal we wanted but Im working with counties and not actual cities.

My gadgets are nice and all but when it comes to technology what I am really thankful for are the machines that clean the water I drink and deliver the electricity my devices consume; also the advanced computers that allow scientist and doctors to cure diseases. I'm pretty thankful to all the programmers that spend countless hours working on open source projects as well.
Yes, but PPAs are unsupported third party unsupported software. Now Dell/Canonical support won't help your mum fix her laptop's browser.
I'm not sure what your difficulty is in understanding this. They cram before the tests in the class, then they cram before the final exam (or AP exam). The "forget" is after the AP test.

This naturally made students who crammed have a tougher time in later classes in college. I wasn't one of them, but I refuse to look down on the people who were behaving exactly as the teachers were training them to behave.
