if projects are given the option to 'auto-close' tickets (which honestly, I don't mind - having loads of open stuff can hamper finding more recent/useful info), wouldn't it be helpful to have filter to view 'auto-closed' tickets vs 'closed' tickets?
I use your workflow - but back (some of) my data up in O365. On linux, I use insync (closed source) to sync my O365 as needed. Insync allows me to select (within a folder) what sub-folders to mirror. It's pretty perfect.
What kind of work visa do you need to do freelance work in Germany? How do you go about getting one without a sponsor?
I believe they already have.
A wild guess, but maybe they target retina displays.
Atheists: Does not believe in god or gods. Possibly even no belief in the supernatural.

Agnostic: Does not follow any particular religion, does believe in god or gods.
Feedback from VCs/Epxpert would be an interesting perspective. However struggling startups would probably be more interested in hearing from potential users.

Shameless pitch:

We, at StartUpLift.com, are trying to build a very cost-effective (and often free) way of letting startups get feedback from users. Here are some examples of some great feedback received by offering small incentives to top feedback providers:
[Ninja Post - Offered $5 each to top 3 feedback providers]: http://startuplift.com/ninja-post-forum-software-for-a-web-2...

Check out Qube Money, they seem early stage but functioning. Once you sign up you can request to be in their Facebook beta testers group which is active.
That is not a good description of standing.

Standing: because the federal courts would otherwise be panels of life-tenured unelected philosopher-kings, in order to bring a matter before them, you must personally have suffered an injury that it is within the court's legal power to redress.

Every single justice on the Supreme Court, 6 of whom are conservative, rejected the Texas argument (Alito and Thomas share an idiosyncratic belief that all "original jurisdiction" cases [those between states] have to be heard, regardless of how stupid, and so would have forwarded the case but not granted relief).

The case made it to the court and failed 9-0.
Please describe what you mean by “privilege”. Privileged enough to have a second phone? What does that even mean? Am I also privileged to have a second laptop and a PS4? Should I feel ashamed because of this and why, exactly?
Hey jchook,

Indeed, improving the deck samples' UI/UX is one of the next few items on our to-do list - there's plenty to improve on that front :)

Also thanks for your second suggestion!
Many thanks. Was there a change in perhaps the hours they could be used, or was it floated perhaps at one stage? I’m nearly certain I read it more than once maybe 3-4 years ago.

Edit: I found a link about it - https://www.thelocal.no/20150506/norway-strips-electric-cars... - perhaps it has since been reversed again?
Unfortunately they stopped letting non-veterans get USAA checking accounts several years ago. I only found this out when I recommended it on HN last year.
I think so, but I leave it off to try and start from a clean slate and save a the leftover instead if possible. But you can also change the dates of charges, so you can move stuff to next month or the previous month if there was room left over which I find convenient for spreading out big purchases.
Newegg seems to have it for that price:

Amazon's cheapest is $799 for some reason.
Talk of violence and murder is not free speech.

I've been on these platforms before the riot and I've seen a lot of unmoderated criminal activity.
Perhaps they will switch to an LTS model for some services, committing to at least 5 years of support.

For comparison in the game industry, Sony has publicly committed to 10 years of support for each numbered PlayStation console generation, and that seems to have worked out pretty well, with generations spaced about 7 years apart.

(Sadly the PSVita/PSTV didn't get that support, nor did some services like PlayStation Vue, PlayStation Home, or Qore; also many multiplayer game servers have shut down after a couple of years, rendering the games unplayable online.)
That’s not a great definition of Mccarthythism. Here’s one off the top of my head:

”A political movement reaches great enough support that it can paint its minority opposition as persona non grata. Then they make even mere association with opposition into a crime against the State and force employers, housing authorities, and other institutions to block such ”sympathizers” access to their work, homes, and assets.”

But I am not a historian.
Yep Boost is really useful if you want to double your build times or want to make sure your builds fail whenever you upgrade your C++ compiler to a slightly newer version. Removing Boost from project I work on has always been an excellent way for me to boost (pun intended) my productivity.
So tax people and then give the money back? I thought the point of carbon taxes was to fund green tech like solar and electric cars?
But the thing with the de-worming experiment is they did know it worked. They were studying a procedure known to be beneficial and merely asking "is this beneficial also to our policy goal" and using as a pretext to deny people a known beneficial medical treatment (for 1-2 years as the system was rolled-out).

Which is to say this seems neither analogous to medicine or ethical in the same fashion to controls for medicines of unknown efficacy. Maybe, if somehow they had no choice but their "phased roll-out", they have a justification but otherwise, what were they even considering? Not treating people?

See:
https://www.betterevaluation.org/resources/example/Primary_s...
You could email them and ask for this feature.
Citation? I would bet as a percentage of income the rich do not spend as much on carbon generating stuff. Most taxes on consumption are regressive unless they are on luxuries that the poor can’t afford.
I prefer to leave managing, controling and rewarding employees up to the employer, and I'll take care of paying the price I see on the menu and making the decision on whether to come back or not.
In the keyfob there is usually a foldout key hidden even in modern cars
They don't, this is just random squatters occupying land that isn't theirs. This is basically on par with finding a vacant lot that the owner doesn't check up on and "selling" it while openly admitting that they don't have title to the land and have no rights to the property. What's surprising is that people are foolish enough to pay them anything. They aren't actually buying anything, they could just not give them a dime and go extract the lumber, slash and burn the lot, etc.

How is this different than someone selling the Brooklyn bridge on Craigslist?
Oh HN! You get away with nothing here. lol.
I would bet a small amount of money that the process is (1) put the fob very close to the car's receiver and try again, followed by (2) disassemble the fob and look for a mechanical key.
A lot of them actually have a real key "hidden" within the digital fob, see example: https://www.bimmer-tech.net/blog/item/105-about-bmw-key-fob

I have never had to actually use it, but looked into it when I got low battery-warnings to make sure I would not be locked out.

Assuming this is not a legal requirement I am sure there are models where this is not possible though.
> there an ARM motherboard out there with a 16x lane bus?

For servers at sky-high prices only.

For $699, your closest choice might be the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier... PCIe 4.0 but with a x8 slot, and an NVMe M.2 x4 PCIe 4.0 slot too.
> 1. Static type checkers increase compile times.

It should be noted that this potential impact on compile times amount to a few seconds.

> 2. If you're building a system which has to interact with other systems a lot, static types can be a hindrance if your static type system and their type system don't agree on fundamental things like how data should be modelled.

I fail to understand how failing to comply with a contract is a type checking problem, and one which goes away if you no longer perform validations.

> 3. Static type checkers can have bugs or quirky behaviour. This can lead to a lot of wasted time, and/or inelegant workarounds that makes your code less understandable (and therefore, more likely to have bugs in the future).

I'm not sure if your example is valid, as in your blog you quite openly state that the root cause of your bug was your failure to specify the right return type. You can't really fault a system by complying with the definition you've provided.

> 4. It's surprisingly hard to find any research that can demonstrate that static type checkers actually lead to fewer bugs.

A quick search in Google Scholar for "static type bugs" popped about 4k search hits, the first of which is an article on quantifying detectable bugs on javascript which states that switching to typescript allowed 15% of public bugs to be detected.
Quite some recent controllers outright don't implement it, and newer devices don't require it...
> They’re centralised, regulated and transactions don’t even go on the blockchain.

Of course. All of that is kind of unavoidable if you want to interface with fiat.
Don't forget the disabled, or people with different sexual orientations.

The absolute top people in almost every every field are male, just as the absolute bottom people are also male, that's just the way the world works.

If you wrote an article about the top 10 fastest humans on the planet, you would likely also get complaints that there are no females, white people, etc in the list. Admittedly, this is more easily measurable, but consistent lack of success, by any way you measure it, should be at least somewhat compelling in other, less quantitative fields.
I am a pissed off new user to Area 51.

I had an idea for a stackexchange site a while ago - but did not take the time to go and make it. Upon seeing this, I thought "hooray, now I can see if it holds any merit!"

So I went to the site. First thing's first: I want to search to see if my idea has been done. There's the search box! My idea is essentially teach people how to learn things (as in, what order to learn what topics and how to learn those subtopics best) in a wiki-tized fashion. So I type 'how to' in the search box and hit enter.

Nothing happens.

So I click the magnifying glass to the left of the box...

Nothing happens.

Unfazed, I decide it must be because I'm not logged in. I trundle to the create account page, login with my OpenID, and see I'm 'User3840'. Best be changing that!

I click on my name and get taken to a profile page where I can click edit. I do so, and fill out the form with my real life information, because I like being a human to the people I meet on the internet. I change my name to 'wcarss', and:

Oops! There was a problem updating your profile:
* unusual error updating your profile -- please try again!

So I do. Same error. Okay... So I decide to remain anonymous and just search for my idea again. As a good user, I should make sure there's no duplicates!

Still doesn't work at all.

Okay, so it's buggy. I'm a bit unhappy now but I know what to do: submit a bug report. At the bottom of the page is a friendly link, 'feedback always welcome', so I click it and travel to meta.stackoverflow.com

I make a new account here after registering my OpenID. It seems strange that I now have two separate accounts (User148067 on meta and User3840 on area51) despite having one OpenID associated with both and both running from the same group of people, but hey it's okay.

I go to post feedback, and leave my browser version, os, repro steps, helpful tags, and the urls I had failed search on. Hit 'Post Your Question' - uh oh!

Oops! Your question couldn't be submitted because:
* we're sorry, but as a spam prevention mechanism, new users can only post a maximum of one hyperlink. Earn 10 reputation to post more hyperlinks.
* users with less than 99 reputation can't create new tags. The tags 'fail issue' are new. Try using existing tags instead.

I'm now infuriated; so I came here to post what's happened so far. I'm going to remove all of my tags because I have /no idea/ what tags already exist, and I'm going to make my url's not clickable. I am forced into being less helpful.

Finally, I've posted something! Now if anyone sees it and responds, I'll know why the site is broken for me. I can't change my name on meta either. As a user that just wanted to participate and to be a good community member, I've been left soured to the entire StackOverflow experience.
Thanks for the extended response. I don't believe that Debian (as the Free Software under discussion here) is in any relevant sense competing with iOS (or OSX, for that matter).

Debian's mission is to provide a universal (as much hardware as possible) operating system freely (free as in beer, free as in freedom). This simply doesn't strike me as the kind of thing that's competing with iOS in any relevant sense.

So, I don't think the author fails to address that point. I think it's irrelevant.
It really is a great model/value proposition. We've started a similar program, Development Solutions Organization (DSO), with the first pilot held at Carnegie Mellon University.

DSO's focus is consulting in the realm of international development. We have teams that focus on management consulting, software consulting, and (in the near future) security consulting. One key benefit, compared to the Business Solutions Group mentioned in the article however, is the fact that we pair up students with professionals in related fields. We currently have professionals with experience from many companies, including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, PwC, The Gates Foundation, to name a few. This helps create accountability and reliability for the client, while allowing students to network with and get mentored by experienced professionals. We also offer sponsorship opportunities for companies who want to get the opportunity to recruit top-talent students with a proven track-record.

In our last recruiting round, we accepted 13 out of over 140 applicants. The pilot has gone well at Carnegie Mellon, and we are rolling out the program at other universities.

We have opportunities for current students at any university, as well as opportunities for professionals who want to volunteer their time, network, and gain experience in international development.

That's interesting and James Bond novel worthy. But I mean the message and the ruthlessness of showing off by government agencies.
I'm also interested in the long story :)
At the same time, user-defined functions solves a big pain-point with SASS at the moment. The older style of SASS functions were a very limited form of macros. They're useful for a lot of things, like applying a generic button style to a bunch of different elements, but aren't able to, for example, make a standardized syntax for gradients which generates the appropriate code for FF/Webkit/IE.

Previously to accomplish that sort of thing you'd have to use the Ruby API, as Compass does. Now you can do it entirely inside .sass files. This seems like a clear win, and will definitely simplify my stylesheets.
Remember the first wikileaks cablegate exposes?

"Russia is a corrupt, autocratic kleptocracy centred on the leadership of Vladimir Putin, in which officials, oligarchs and organised crime are bound together to create a "virtual mafia state", according to leaked secret diplomatic cables that provide a damning American assessment of its erstwhile rival superpower."

Linux is tremendously successful as server OS.
Desktop - not very much, because of "grandma"
> Finding all JPGs in a huge tree of folders and moving them all to one central folder.

That's easy in Windows File Explorer. Type Ctrl+F, then *.jpg, then Enter. Wait for the search to finish. Type Ctrl+A to Select All, then Ctrl+X to Cut. Then go to the target folder, in the same or a different File Explorer, and Ctrl+V to Paste.

Someone who isn't familiar with the keyboard shortcuts can do the same with the mouse. Either way, if they have ever edited a document and done something similar with cutting and pasting text, there is nothing new to learn except understanding that the same steps work in File Explorer.

It also works in the default file manager in Ubuntu with minor changes: don't hit Enter after typing the search text, do click in the result list before the Ctrl+A.
Absolutely - also it’s unclear if you are allowed to remove things what solutions would be allowed / disallowed.

For instance do I have to have a roof? Could I just balance the brick on the structure?

Can I remove the whole structure, put the roof on the floor next to the person, and just put the brick on that?

If not, Can the guy lie down to clear extra space so I can remove another layer?

Could I just have the guy lie down and surround him with one layer of bricks and then put the roof on that?

It’s not immediately obvious to me that all the above solutions would be allowed as an answer, because the question is to put a brick on “the structure”, so surely if I remove some of “the structure” then that’s hardly putting a brick on “the structure”, it’s putting a brick on “a structure”.

I assume by the time you have put the guy in effectively a coffin buried under a brick then someone would argue that the purpose of the structure is lost, but you could also argue that somewhat if you removed the roof height (a higher roof could be a feature).
I think image computing is generally a bad thing for correctness, though, because it makes the program fragile. It's good that it has to write itself to disk in some simpler format than a memory dump because it's probably easier to repair that format if it gets corrupted.

True, the post-processing algorithm could just be doing a randomish walk towards the answer, but I highly doubt that is what's happening. 2D cursor movement is well understood to be within the realm of possibility for EEG, so I imagine it is actually much easier with an in-vivo device. From what I understand, this is entirely supervised learning. The monkey is "telling" the device what neural pattern corresponds to moving the cursor. If I had to guess, then this chip is planted extremely close to the hippocampus, which is known to have cells that encode spatial information. The algorithm is probably doing a basic supervised learning on the cells that fire for a particular location of the cursor.

I'm just guessing on this, but the "training" session probably involved having the monkey stare at the screen for a while, while the cursor moved, which allowed the device to capture a spatial heatmap of which cells fired at which locations. There's probably some online optimization happening as the monkey then continues the "training" process by completing the task. Overall, this task is completely doable with the current technology, so I would not assume any foul play here. If the monkey was writing Shakespeare, I would definitely doubt it.
You left out the AKM fire in October, which caused some essential production to get offloaded to Renesas. I think it may actually have gone to the same Naka plant that had the more recent fire.

You're making the assumption that the bottom of the 1% and the top of the 1% have the same amount of wealth which is completely wrong. Nice superiority complex though. The $35k number is for the #70,000,000th wealthiest person.

According to your claim there would be 70 million millionaires in the world. Sanity check there?
It's not impossible that life might exist based on other foundations than the ones we've witnessed, but there is some compelling evidence that carbon based life should be the more common form. Firstly, carbon based chemistry is far and away richer than any other type of chemistry, there are an essentially infinite number of different carbon based compounds, and they span an enormous array of properties and chemical activities. Secondly, the raw ingredients for those chemicals are extremely common throughout the Universe. Moreover, natural processes produce the basic building blocks of life routinely.

Additionally, we see from the history on Earth that almost as soon as conditions suitable for life to exist came into being then it wasn't long before life started. It's difficult to draw conclusions from just one data point but that may indicate that the process of biogenesis is fairly straightforward, under the right conditions.

The bias towards focusing on carbon based life comes because the route to such life seems straightforward, and makes use of abundant naturally occurring compounds, while at the same time we have not even the slightest hint of how naturally occurring non-carbon-based life would even be possible.
Since when has 'law' applied to Israeli behavior in Palestine?
I don't know if it's an Italian thing, but growing up in Argentina I learned to cook rice as you cook pasta: first boil the water, then put the rice in, cook as needed then strain. That's the same way I saw my friend cooking rice in England.

In Brazil, on the other hand, people would put a tiny bit of water, put the rice in, turn the stove on and then wait until the rice is evaporated.

The main difference I notice is that when cooked with plenty of water and added when the water is boiling the rice doesn't get sticky (unless you overcook it like crazy.) I prefer it loose and solid instead of sticky and mushy, but then, I grew up eating it that way.

No, it is a bad idea to become a service provider for startups. Firstly, startups are rarely looking for freelancers. Secondly, startups who ARE looking for freelancers are usually looking for free freelancers.

If you are independent you have to charge a lot of money to cover the time when you aren't billable and the last thing a startup wants to do is pay someone a lot of money.
Well a lot of those math, physics and CS grad students end up in finance anyway.
I just finished the 1st episode. Imagine like an indie/pro-am reinvention of The X-Files. A touch of sci-fi. A beautiful smart blonde woman instead of Scully. Nice theme music. Opening voiceover. Not saying it's exactly like that, but stylistically has similarities to it. Anyway, I liked it. Want moar. :)
