Yeah, not everything involving generations is so myopic. My kids, 7 and 4, are absolutely entranced by computers and love to sit down at our old-school 8-bit battlestation and bash things out. The elder has figured out how to do his maths homework on it, and the younger has become an expert at loading files and running them. None of this would be possible if I hadn't encouraged them to investigate computers by setting up the battlestation in the first place .. I think the key to getting kids interested in programming is to understanding cyclomatic complexity in the first place, and not introducing them to things that will overwhelm their interest. In the case of our 8-bit machines, which are still fully functional programming devices, we seem to have met the sweet spot .. lets see if in a couple of years we upgrade them to a Linux box and compilers and so on. I'm fairly confident this will happen .. at least in the case of the 4 year old, whose affinity for the subject seems to be being amplified by observing daily his elder brothers' competence and confidence as they discover - together - new things.
I think there's a pretty good case that North Korean sympathizers were involved in the hack. Despite current 'folklore' that the original hacks were about a ransom this appears to come from early reporting where news headlines read that data was being held ransom for demands and it was sort of just assumed to be monetary.

The pastebins and messages from #GOP themselves are concerned about the 'movie of terrorism' and promised to give a Christmas gift to those following the leaks. The Christmas gift was leaked email conversations between CEO Lynton and strategic state specialists and where several mentions are made about the involvement of the State Department in the analysis of the movie.

To complicate things though the malware used had seen previous use in Iranian attacks against Saudi oil companies and linguistic analysis suggests that the author of the #GOP messages was likely a native Russian speaker.
Weirdly, I updated a perl based web application that used flat files for data storage (a web crawler and search engine) to modern perl not too long ago I hadn't realized that flat file storage was created as a way to get around DB installation.
Now now, let’s not put the cart before the horse. Binary first, and then boolean logic, and then automata theory, and then...
I am literally talking about my grandma though. All of the other grand parents are dead. Young people (wether male or female) that have had access to a computer are generally more familiar with tools they grew up with which was my point. A lot of people, not even just old people, are not ready to spend more than one second when something does not work and will just switch to what they heard was working. Consider someone who does not know the difference between an OS and a browser, between 5G internet and WiFi etc. Having those people in mind matters when thinking about mass adoption (which is the goal when your target is mass surveillance by big gov).
There's no company policy mandating me to start that early yet I start between 7am and 7:30am, by 8am the office is mostly full.

The earlier you start the more daylight left to enjoy at the end of the day. 9am really sounds awfully late. People who start at 9 don't enjoy their morning any more than I do. They just wake up later. And it forces them to stay longer in the evening while I'm out taking advantage of the extra day light to do outdoor activities.
Alternatively, reddit but nerdier and less fun. Granted I've only seen wallstreetbets which might not be entirely representative...
Interesting, "holding a title" vs "being a champion", it's like "passing an exam" vs "learning".

If I recall correctly I think Ali makes this distinction on his videos when he speaks about dedicating time to pass the exam or learning as much as you can from a topic, are two different issues, sadly.

I'd disqualify neither of them, it's just about defining what's the goal.
> How did we get to this world of little programming languages embedded into YAML?

A configuration file is just a bad programming language (or a good one...).

Some people have forced YAML to be a configuration file because they're lazy and don't want to write a parser/lexer. But most people do it because they don't know the difference.
In my humble opinion, that might overcomplicate things without providing much in the way of risk reduction. Owning a basket of currencies might make sense in a world where, globally, only some central banks had loose money policies. But, at least right now, central banks are all printing money. If you’re a US investor like me, you might have inflation concerns, but if inflation occurs globally, I might do worse owning a basket of currencies than owning USD.

What would I do if I were concerned about inflation but wanted cash? I suppose this doesn’t help anyone who’s solely into indexing, and I know this locks up cash, but I’d look for unlikely-to-fail dividend-paying companies that are relatively protected against inflation and that are trading at relatively fair values. Essentially, you’d be saying “I don’t care if I can’t sell this stock for 10 years so long as the 4%+ current dividend yield ratchets up at or above inflation.”
For such a long blog, I still didn't understand how does one read more effeciently, or did I miss something?

Or is it just a clickbait title, since the majority of the blog just defends reading and counts it's pros.
this was already submitted here 55 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1738670 and 3 days later this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1751056 was submitted.

But is good to have more discussion about it.
I struggled with how to phrase that and eventually gave up hoping the ridiculous number I supplied would suffice.

I agree w/ everything you said, but I'd argue that oodles of software jobs out there are solving solved problems and doing it over and over and over again and these were the sorts of jobs I was trying to evoke.

Does there exist a scenario where you are personally OK with a soldier from your country being tortured by another?
That would be most useful indeed. Re-read the paper and still can't pinpoint the main difference vs. previous experiments, and why this is a significant achievement...

Not sure why there's so much doubt about itss use. This is amazing for things like detergent.

When I run out of detergent, I don't want to add it to shopping list. I don't want to remember when to buy. I just want it outside my door before I run out! This applies to any item that I don't feel like buying but have to buy regularly.
Why are people still surprised when free things become more restrictive. If you like a service, pay for it.
Or try running an alternate operating system that doesn't run a task semi-regularly that uses up all of your RAM.
Works over Wi-Fi? Is there a screen on the back and a keypad to type the password and select the network? Wifi takes a lot of power. Does it use AAAs, or do you have to periodically recharge the batteries? That surely would be impractical. Especially if you have a button for multiple products in your house, as shown in the video - maintaining five or six of these things would be a pain. A separate Amazon app or a component of the Amazon app with a list of products you plan on reordering periodically seems much more practical.

Just doesn't seem plausible. April Fools is tomorrow.
That's actually a really clever idea. Secondary levels take manual work of course, but the basic principle should be viable, especially if you have a "default" layout photo to compare.
The valuable proposition of a CDN is to improve load times by decreasing latency via geographically distributed servers. HTTP2 doesn't diminish this value.

CloudFront's extra features like keeping the open persistent connection is used for faster requests to the origin and faster edge server cache invalidation. HTTP2's multiplexing would actually help a CDN, since it decreases the load and number of incoming requests for static assets to the edge servers. CDN's are largely paid by bandwidth, and the edges are going to be delivering the same about of content regardless of whether it is transmitted using HTTP1 or HTTP2 (minus a tiny about due to the response header compression feature of HTTP2). So using HTTP2 will reduce there costs while allowing them to charge the same amount (or more make more money if the CDN offers it as an "accelerator service").

In short, HTTP2 is not a competitor to CDN's, even CDN's with fancy "extra" features, because the primary value prop of a CDN is decreasing latency.

Hi, I graduated from UCSD B.S. Cognitive Science with a specialization in Machine Learning. I've been a data analyst contractor since the beginning of the year. The work has mostly been developing ad hoc scripts for a counter misinformation company to generate usable data concerning social media interactions of both bad faith actors and fringe groups.

Before and during that job, I've been attempting to self learn web apps on my own enough to know how to read a codebase, understand how a tech stack works, and the caveats of how unmanageable to maintain they can get if they're done carelessly. Admittedly this part of my skillset can be superficial because I attempted to learn things all at once rather than in depth and didn't get far enough to get a whole project off the ground. I've since stopped because a hand injury (RSI) made reevaluate my motivations and directions with that, but I think with the right environment I'd be eager to learn to properly develop apps and features from the ground up.

I'm interested in data science/analyst roles as those are what my skills are most suited to. Though if there's interest in my ability to fill a backend or machine learning position, I'm always available for a conversation!
Undefined behavior is platform-specific behavior. In this case it means that rollover’s effect on the value depends on how the register stores the integer and on how the particular instruction is documented to behave.
There's little value in me doing this, but I always have to push back against this idea. This is the hill I'll die on.

Most application UIs are not complicated. Most applications are just interactive documents. There is nothing special about 90% of the apps I use on my native computer that means they couldn't be rendered as HTML. The document model is fine for applications. Preferable, even.

Heck, a reasonable portion of the native applications on my computer have optional pure-terminal interfaces. If your application can work in a terminal, it can work with HTML -- and embracing a document model for your application UI would be a better user experience than whatever the heck pixel-perfect framework that everyone is chasing nowadays. That's true on the web, and it's true on native.

The problem with the web is not that HTML is incapable of being used as an application platform; it's not that we're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It's that both web and native developers overestimate the interface requirements of their applications, and bring in unnecessary cruft to achieve pixel-perfect layouts that are worse for end-users.

We have a square peg, and a square hole, but we like to go to conferences and pretend that our peg is actually some convoluted, recursive star shape.
I agree. But unlike cannabis, you are most likely to get positive results when you work with a right therapist/guide.
I stumbled upon this the other day: https://www.mycomeditations.com

It looks fairly legitimate.

Also, there are clinics in some major cities for ketamine treatment, but it isn't cheap. A couple grand for 6 infusions.
Not to be facetious but why is the legal status of these drugs preventing you from trying them?

Ketamine, LSD, shrooms are all accessible, and recreational varieties are not expensive.
> That’s a horrible place for our society to be in.

This is encouraged from early on in school these days with ideas like "safe spaces" where people can be "safe" from so called "micro aggressions" (basically having their own convictions challenged, even for valid reasons).

It seems like just having common disagreements is considered inappropriate now, and the more opinions you express publicly, the more "micro-agressions" you must accept that you are imposing on others. And thus obviously you are terrible person and must be cancelled.

And so comes the (now traditional) SJW witch-hunt.

Whoever supports these ideas really needs to be considered the enemies of a healthy democracy, and their ideas needs to be constantly and publicly challenged.

> Mavens main disadvantage is that it is written in xml

I would say that this is Maven's most obvious disadvantage. Its main disadvantage is its inflexibility.

I'm working on a little library right now that is sort of a facade for two possible backend libraries. Some code is shared, some depends on backend A, some on backend B. I want to separate the three kinds of source code, compile and test each against the correct dependencies (none, A, or B), and then put all the class files in one jar file.

In Gradle i would define some extra configurations for the A and B sides, then customise the standard jar task to include their output.

What would i do in Maven?

My Maven knowledge is pretty out of date, but i think the Maven answer would be "don't do that, create three modules and build and publish three artifacts". Or, to put it another way "our tool can't do that, so you should make life worse for your users, but we're going to insist that our way is actually the proper way to do it, for mysterious quasi-mystical reasons".
This is an interesting comment, because arguably although those countries did know well what they didn't want (Soviet domination, socialism and the one party system), it's not at all clear, from the developments in these countries, what they did want, or how they intended to achieve it:

- Poland now has an extremely illiberal system of government, without the basic republican separation of powers, secularism, or civic freedoms.
- Hungary also is run by an extremely rightwing government which dismisses most foundations of democratic republics using antisemitic conspiracies. If
- Romania is run by kleptocrats and considered borderline too corrupt to be a full member of the EU.
- Despite the GDR having been integrated very smoothly and quite generously into Western Germany, the exemplar of a stable Western European democracy, around half the voters in the former East support either pro-communist or xenophobic, pro-fascist parties.
- Lithuania fails to guarantee basic rights to minority groups.
- Bulgaria - both communism and fascism remain extremely popular.
- and so on. You also loaded your examples - the countries which did join the EU are generally quite a lot better than the ones which didn't such as Moldova, Ukraine, etc.

To be clear - I think that Poland and Polish people have an absolute right to self-determination, and it was never ok for them to be dominated by the Soviet Union, whether by soft power or by violence. However, I think it's fairly clear that if being a modern Western democracy like Denmark was what they wanted, then they failed to achieve it. They have the absolute right to be what they currently are, but they should at least be honest about it.

There's also an irony that in the 1970s and 1980s, when progressives in Poland claimed that they wanted Western-Europe style liberal democracy, the communist apologists, both in Poland and in the Soviet Union said that they were actually fighting for domination by the Catholic Church, inequality, exploitation by rich capitalist countries such as Germany, antisemitism, and so on. Well, they got rid of communism, and what did they adopt? A right-wing, institutionally antisemitic, illiberal system, socially controlled by the Church, and trapped in an economic system run by richer countries.
This is what Svelte does today. I think Svelte is the innovative one in the current state of things. :)

If you can transfer within the company, this is the easiest route by a country mile. Your company will help with the transfer, organise some of the logistics and official matters. It is still not easy sailing, but some sort of support network is available. It is how I moved from Australia to Germany.
I hope it was helpful. I wish you luck on your journey to the new role!

There will be sacrifices you will have to make to succeed, but I hope that in the end you will achieve your target. Every time I was in the middle of a career change, I feel all this effort and sacrifice aren't worth it; I can just enjoy what I have. I don't succumb to that feeling and work harder.

You are the only one who can decide if the prize at the end worth the sacrifices along the way.
It might be the megacorporate equivalent of "strategic assets" for nation-states. Keep a chip division going and spun up, if only to have a core competency as a backstop.

I have friends who live in Whitehorse who bike year round. If you physically can do it, then you can do it.
Maybe you should get someone to review your resume.
Not to say this is what people are doing, but I don't think it requires much knowledge to run under Docker, and it's pretty easy to expose it to the public internet that way.
If you tow that much with a half ton it's not ideal (or even smart), because even though it can tow that much it's not particularly good at it. I own a vehicle that can tow 11,000lbs in a half ton format and it's nothing when compared to towing with a similar model 3/4 ton variant. 1/2 ton trucks are designed for the occasional tow of recreational vehicles and light duty trailers. I would never tow anything over 10k lbs even though my vehicle was rated at it. A half ton towing 6-7k lbs is a heavy load and it's getting a bit ridiculous that auto manufacturers are putting ideas in people's heads that 1/2 ton trucks are direct replacements for a 3/4 or full ton vehicle. Suspension, transmission and drivetrain in a half ton are designed first and foremost for comfort these days. They are not full time tow vehicles and they don't tow like 3/4 ton trucks. At some point the NHTSA is going to need to step in and put limits on what 1/2 tons are limited to towing because it's becoming dangerous. For those who don't know the rating is mostly the GVWR of the truck. In simple terms that means the GVWR of a 3/4 ton truck is 1.5x that of a 1/2 ton truck. That is a huge difference and for those who have done a lot of towing in their lives it's night and day in terms of tow performance all around. Acceleration, braking, sway control, visibility, handling under load, etc.
What's wrong with just charging market rate for parking and road usage, i.e., just enough to so that there's always a few free parking spots and traffic flows at capacity?
Making the highly custom build scripts work for your homebrew Z80 is usually more trouble than it's worth. CP/Mish uses a niche (like, niche even compared to compiling for Z80 at all) compiler and Lua build scripts.

Many of the applications have platform specific code and need to be ported as well.

A project like this is a useful reference point, but rarely directly usable.
It sucks when you can tell that a personality mismatch is causing the interviewer think you don't know what you're talking about. Or they could just be an arrogant ass, who knows (that if/else thing certainly raises the possibility).

About the offer you got, maybe they thought you were strong in areas that would be important to the DW team even though you didn't fit into their expectations for the position you interviewed for. I've interviewed people who were obviously talented engineers but not quite right for the position in question, and suggested them for other positions they were better-suited for. This has worked well in my experience, but who knows if that's what happened at Netflix.
Nice execution, a variation of Wordle but different enough so as to not be taken as a clone :-)
Quick feedback, why does the round timer inside the yellow star starts decreasing while the letters are still falling/appearing? Shouldn't it start the countdown once all letters and the palying field is ready?
i appreciate the challenge this offers compared to wordle.

NYT's spelling bee has a feature that i think you should consider implementing: a button and/or key press (e.g. space) that shuffles the remaining, unused letters.

Sorry for the meta, but I can't ever remember an American publication using "a row". Is it beginning to migrate across the pond?
Why?
During the Olympics the beach volleyball plays out across our floors at work just like any other event.
In fact they played the olympics on the big screens because it’s easier on the network.
Be careful using this to interpret complex eigenvalues, though! (One could argue that a complex eigenvector points along the same complex axis, but that probably doesn't help much to understand the eigenvalues of a real matrix like ( ( 0 1 ) ( 1 0 ) ).)
That's a great point! LinkLonk has "collections" for this (similar to "boards" on Pinterest). When you upvote something you put that item into a collection. Every user starts with the "default" collection.

But you can create new ones for each of you distinct areas of interest.

For example, you may want to create a collection called "music" and put music links there. When someone upvotes a link that you also upvoted in "music" then they will only connect to your "music" collection, and not your other collections. LinkLonk tracks the trust at the level of collection-to-collection (not user-to-user).

Personally, I put all general interest stuff into the "default" collection, Machine Learning related links into "ML", movies into "movies".

So far I described how organizing what you liked into collections helps others (ie, they get more focused recommendations from you). Why would you want to do this organization in the first place?

There are a couple of reasons:

- When you go to the history of your ratings (https://linklonk.com/ratings) you can filter it by the collection you put it into. This helps you find the article you liked. It is kind of a bookmarking service this way.

- Normally, the recommendations you see are for all of your collections. But you can filter your recommendations to see only items for a specific collection (e.g., music).

Finally, it is not much effort to keep your likes organized once you get started. LinkLonk knows which collection every recommendation is closest to and when you upvote something it will most likely be added to the right collection automatically. For example, if I liked a blog post about an ML topic and put it into "ML", then the future posts from that blog will go to "ML".
