That's exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to see out of the JVM's default serialization. As it stands I think I'm going to basically have to define a custom marshaling format and hand-serialize everything for the domain I'm interested in (which, btw, is serializing pre-parsed Ruby code to disk so it can be loaded later without parse time...done to avoid the slowness of our parser during the cold first seconds of the JVM!).
As someone who is looking for a new code tracking solution at work, yet is not a programmer, this is wonderfully helpful.
Seriously nobody else can see that this blows a gapping whole in his reasoning in the second part of the article? This is the mental model he is using to argue that sharing information leads to a massive increase in power imbalances and is therefore too risky. That little brother can never really win against big brother in a world of increasing information.
I know Google Hangouts tried doing some SMS integration, though I've read it was pulled in Nexus 6.

I've tried looking for a better solution and couldn't find one. Out of curiosity - what is your day job?
Where do I start.

1. "My client is a leading company in x..."(does the client have a name?)

2. "My client is looking for university graduates from a top 20 university..."(so because I didn't go to Harvard/MIT/Oxford/Cambridge et.al you wont consider my application)

3. "Fast paced environment which is constantly changing..."(this company sounds like a confused sweatshop which decides to chose another technology because they hit technical debt.)

4. Experience in C/Haskell/Python/Java/C#/F#/Clojure/Lisp/Erlang/Rust/GO/Ruby/Assembly/Forth/Brainfuck...(Signs of a dodgy recruiter)

5. "Github account a must and you should have a contributing history to opensource"...(I use open source, I'm a huge fan of it, but because I didn't contribute to it means I can't get a job? Clearly this recruiter is following media trends. And what if I don't want a Github account, with what happened a couple of days ago[0] I would be pretty concerned about having one(though awesome work for getting the message out Github, other companies would just keep quiet and hope nobody notices))

6. Graduate with 2 years of commercial experience(I just finished university when I "learn" hoping to get that experience which you are asking for.)

I could probably write a blog post. I probably will when I get the energy. HR is a dodgy industry which doesn't know a lot about each of the sector it works with.

iPad 2 is one beast device, live through so many updates and is actually very usable.
Rust doesn't do it, Cargo does. And it's only doing it until Rust reaches 1.0, by which time there will be a proper bundled Rust+Cargo installer. And it's downloading over HTTPS without disabling the certificate check, which is the least egregious form of this (and frankly, if you can't trust that your TLS sessions aren't being hijacked you have a bigger problem).
Is it speciesist to swat mosquitoes? I'd swat a person if they tried to suck my blood...
Basketball is a direct competition, and the arms race dynamic drives up the price. It's not quite the same with programmers most of the time.
Much of the same in France. Many semi-"public" hotspots set up for subscribers.

Post it on http://captainobvio.us/ to have it shot down. Really, "killing the company" is a good brainstorming approach to see how durable your idea is.
Or get the best of both worlds and telecommute. My last two jobs have had higher salaries than average in my city because the jobs were based on the coasts.

Poe's Law strikes again. Half the commentators don't get the joke.
I've been working on mobile apps for Rackspace from San Francisco for a long time, and I have to disagree about the SF/SA cultural difference, at least in this context. While San Antonio is definitely vastly different from San Francisco, the culture within Rackspace is certainly compatible with Cloudkick and most other Bay Area tech companies.

I could see that with node-cgi if you're mixing html+server side+client side in a single file.. that would be confusing.

In practice though (and if you're using the nodejs), you would have better organization... for ex, all of your nodejs code for in a directory, and then a directory with your templates (which is also where the inline client side js would go). Making it much easier to think about them separately.
One thing to keep in mind is different Ruby implementations, versions, and platforms run differently. An array is currently the safest way to maintain order when it matters.

If order didn't matter, than a hash would be fine, but iterating over the data could cause unwanted behavior if order is important and hash keys are served to an iterator in a different order than was laid out by the DSL code.
Been looking for something exactly like this. Great job, and thanks for sharing. A small request: expose the number of votes, especially on IMDB. Without knowing this, the rating doesn't have as much value. Thanks!
I love how 99% of this thread is HackerNews comments about how free speech must be maintained and blah blah blah cancel culture.

Then those same people are clutching their pearls about "America Deserved 9/11"
I've been a "Copy Me That" user for years and years. It's delightful.

The meal-planner/shopping list feature is well worth the subscription: Add your meals for the week, then make a shopping list. The shopping list collects like items, joins their volumes/counts (if it can), and makes one big shopping list organized by category.

It makes shopping so much nicer.
See my other comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26734738. Meets the definition of insurrection, and there were many weapons present, incuding the ones you acknowledged, several unlicensed guns, and Molotovs.
He basically describes matrix... It has its problems like other posters mention but those are really mainly implementation issues, not protocol ones. They'll get fixed.
It's fragmented, but it doesn't need to be error prone if people use the good tools instead of the old low-level tools.
Do you recommend poetry?

I've been meaning to try it but haven't had the time to migrate an existing project to poetry.
How can you think that every bike accident or bike death is caused by the person on the bicycle, and not the person in the 4,000 lb ram?

there will be cases of fault by all kinds of parties, but to type out something like "Well I've never died and I'm safe, so if you died you must be dangerous" is mind-numbingly shallow.
I'm not sure I fully follow "I am pretty far from your utopian dense dream yet largely living it", but I think there are two potential points of disagreement:

1) Living in dense cities is not for everybody, but given that large and (at least pre-covid) growing majority of people in the developed world do choose to live in cities, I think it's safe to say that there is a very sizable demand. For an example of the benefits of density, see [0].

2) I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a "means of escape", but getting rid of cars of course necessitates replacing them with other modalities. If you want to go skiing does it matter to you whether you take a train or a car? Or, for further afield trips, take a train to a car rental far from the city center? (If you mean escape in a literal sense, like "evacuate in the face of a disaster", then cars are clearly not fit for purpose -- if roads can barely handle rush hour traffic, mass evacuation is a recipe for gridlock)

Xmpp doesn't do server-based scroll back iirc. And other mod cons.
Seeing how wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated while productivity has nearly doubled in the past 40 years and the impending climate catastrophies, I don't see how we're at a high point.
Although, I guess if some kind of climate catastrophe occurs, we could consider ourselves in one of the luckier generations

Monopolies eventually create revulsion and a market opportunity. Look at Internet Explorer or QuarkXPress for example.
Is everyone aqui-hired by Facebook required to say something like "we like what we do, but at Facebook we get to work on something that is used by a billion people!" I swear, every single blog post announcing an exit, acquisition or hire by Facebook includes this.

Is that it? Is that the ultimate metric by which a developer or entrepreneur measures success? So what if you're contributions are going to be used by a billion people - Facebook is fluff, an advertising supported business where the product is free to use and the usage data is mined for revenue.

I feel like what they're really saying is "Facebook wrote me a giant check that I couldn't refuse" - why is that so hard to say? I don't think many working for Facebook leap out of bed thinking they're going to change the world - but your startup might.

Man up, admit when you're being paid enough to silence your discontent or burn your old bridges for the city on the hill.
I have fun memories of the one on the Northside. My harddrive failed during finals and I had to go out that night and get one.

I actually paid for Xubuntu there hilariously enough. Paid like 2 bucks for a CD with it, so I could go online and download windows.
The claim you made was

> Easily 99% of roads were built for the operation of cars.

Which is what I was disputing.
I get one about every 4 or 5 years or so.
All of these solutions are still worse than just using a credit card.
I have a Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate and I can vouch for the excellent build quality. Cherry MX Blue switches are loud (and I wouldn't use them in an office), but the tactile experience is immensely satisfying.

At work I have a Leopold Tactile Touch "Otaku" Keyboard (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,fullsize&...). The switches are Cherry MX Brown, which are quieter but not as satisfying. The build quality on this keyboard isn't quite as solid either.

I don't think Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate had a Brown MX ultimate at the time I bought the Leopold or I probably would have bought that. If noise is an issue I also recommend keyboard landing pads (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,slpads&pi...).

Both keyboards are blank which has made me a better typist. I also enjoy the reaction it gets when people come to my desk.
Kindle doesn't seem to be that well suited to references to me. It's not a kind of reader where you can quickly flip pages back and forth.
I ran Open Angel Forum in Seattle...and have to say the event was great. High quality angels meeting high quality companies in an intimate setting provided for a fun night....and some good financing conversation and activity!
Whoa. A deployment sequence to put Curiosity's one to shame. Too many moving parts, over the course of a month. I hope all goes well.
And what they think about you?
This was a video that was making the rounds last year in early 2014 of an AHL ref who wore a GoPro for a game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEBoOr12BrI

If it's anything like this, I'm all for it. This is about as close as you can get to the action without actually playing. Plus, you get all the commentary from the refs, which is really where all the action is.

You also get to find out all the BS they have to put up with the players and coaches.

EDIT: forgot to mention, you get a good reality check on how big and how fast these guys are, and these are essentially minor league NHL players

You look up my number, and then I'll look up your number. Now, we're anonymized as the tracking codes that could be employed will associate my number with you, and vice versa.

> tl;dr: It's an SNRI, like Effexor or Cymbalta.

The mechanism of action section specifically says that it did not block norepinephrine reuptake in the studied brains of rats (only in heart tissues) and that the serotonin reuptake inhibition was very weak. The mechanism of action is more complex, involving 5-HT2B antagonism and 5-HT2C agonism and some downstream upregulation of GABA-B in certain brain areas. It's likely there are additional mechanisms that are not fully understood yet.

tl;dr: It's nothing like an SNRI like Effexor or Cymbalta. Always defer to actual patient outcomes in clinical studies instead of trying to infer a drug's effects based on binding affinities.
This looks like a systemic error in the software development process. If an individual programmer caused it, it should have been caught in review. If it came from a requirement, that requirement was broken and it should have been caught in review.

Either way, a bug that results in an aircraft weighing 1,244 kg more than expected is indeed deadly serious. I write plenty of bugs, but luckily worst case is usually a web page failing to load rather than hundreds of people falling out of the sky. Our development process is clearly not adequate to this domain.

An adequate process for this would necessarily slow down development greatly and make it far more expensive. It's so much easier and cheaper to cut corners.
I interpreted the title as a cheeky anti-woke poke. The double meaning, being that referring to an adult female as "miss" rather than "Ms" has long been frowned upon (because of defining women by their marital status), and because it was offensive it caused a "serious incident".
If my airline operates a charter flight with non-standard passengers (like your NFL example), the FAA requires that we ask passengers for their weight prior to boarding or actually weigh them at the door. If I recall correctly, we must do this for all chartered flights and not only sports teams, but I’d have to look it up to be certain.

To my knowledge no airline accounts for general variances among passengers leaving Mississippi as opposed to, say, Colorado. The standard passenger weights do change in the winter vs the summer to account for heavier clothing.
There is no indication that the people checked in as "miss" were not in fact miss:es. The error was elsewhere. The reason they found a workaround was that it was simpler than changing the software, not that they thought it was correct. Even if they thought it correct, it obviously isn't.
Yes? How does that relate to what I said?

I'm sure they'd prefer to receive notifications from their university on WhateverComesAfterSignalBecauseImOldAndDontKnow, but I imagine that SMS is the 2nd best thing (and probably still generates eye-rolling about the university being old fashioned).
Because people don't want their weight tied to their real names and passport numbers in yet another database that will be leaked or monetized at some point.
I'm talking about facts! Navalny speaks of terrorists and shows a burqa wearing. This is pure racism, burqa is just a religious dress and not all religious people are terrorists! Even Amnestey International revoked his status as "prisoner of conscience."
Ionized air may also conduct electricity, allowing for an electrolaser.
Is it ironic that Coinbase takes fiat deposits and withdrawals? Many in the community view the existence of centralized exchanges as a necessary evil that is temporarily needed to bridge the old world of finance to the new one. It's hardly the brainchild of distributed ledger tech.
Came here to note this exact difference with respect to finally

Consider this code

fp = os.open(x) // imagine file open
defer fp.close()
fp.read()

With defer, one would think I can simply wrap this in a for-loop if I want to open and read a bunch of files. Go doesn’t promise this, but not clear until linter complains. In languages were it “ends at scope”, this is still wrong. If we wrote it as finally, dev would know finally is outside the loop or they need to wrap in another sub-scope inside the loop {}
Diversify your speculation, I think that's the best advice, and make sure you stay grounded, ie. have a base which won't really move much relative to potential hyper-inflation.

All those things don't require an office. You can do all that from a sofa... Come on...
At some point there's someone who pressed the on button on that autonomous robot. Seems to me doing that isn't too different from pressing launch on a rocket or the trigger on a gun.
Indeed. It's amazing how impressive you can look rescuing someone from a "big data" quagmire by just loading that CSV file into a halfway decent RDBMS and letting a simple SELECT statement spin away from a couple tens of μs.

Not that I've got anything against container ships, mind you, it's just that I find they're a rather unwieldy vehicle to use for getting groceries home from the market.
What’s does this mean? Is the statement in the article true or not?
This looks like something Intel should be paying good money for, but I feel like they are just going to "embrace" open source and snatch it without giving a penny to the author.
Again, and I hate to keep repeating myself, but this is not true and just shows that people are not doing their research and/or they're stuck in 2016.

Strike (https://global.strike.me) has built a product in which they use Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to send money (fiat currency like USD, EUR, etc.) around the world instantaneously and at virtually no cost. In some cases, they are able to offer exchange rates that are better than the inter-bank FX rate.

Plot twist, many of the people dreaming of an off grid lifestyle really just need to get away from the stress caused by being on line 24/7 and wouldn’t find any reprieve by moving to the woods while continuing to be jacked in.

>Many men today have just half the number of sperm their grandfathers had. The shocking discovery was published in 2017 by Shanna Swan, PhD, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

>After analyzing 185 studies involving nearly 45,000 healthy men, Swan and her team found that over the past four decades, sperm counts among men in Western countries had dropped by more than 50%.

>Why the huge decline? Swan says many factors are at play — alcohol use, smoking, body weight, and a lack of exercise are a few. But she has zeroed in on another, more insidious cause: exposure to common chemicals that interfere with the body’s production of hormones.
Yes! I did not eat in a restaurant for 15 years. It helped my family never did so I did not miss it. Perhaps a tip for people trying to future-proof their kids for economic depression.
you are mixing exchange rate premiums and transaction fees. imagine 30M or so EUR to USD first then transaction fee. most certainly more.

Drug testing is a good example for most people to understand why Bayesian thinking is relevant.

https://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/4250_Bayes_Theorem.html

Imagine that a driver gets hit by accident. He's tested as part of company policy, and tests positive. He gets fired, even though the test only really tells us there's a 33.2% chance he was actually using the drug.

Real world drug tests are a lot worse than 1% false positive and false negative rate.

Every time someone gets fired for a positive test, or loses custody of their kid, or so on, it reinforces whatever statistics are being collected as if the test were a ground truth. They're hardly ever questioned, and there's usually no recourse without an expensive legal fight.

The false positive rate for drug dogs is higher than 40%, for contrast. When a dog "alerts" its worse than a flip of a coin. All that matters is if an officer feels like fucking up your day.

Testing used in situations that are legally significant in people's lives should be required to reach a statistically valid threshold of accuracy, like 99.999% of the times this process is performed, it matches reality. A high sensitivity and high specificity aren't enough, but they're framed as highly accurate and reliable by often well intentioned people who simply aren't thinking in a Bayesian way.
Tell them! It does seem a bit petty to me re Teams, but who cares what I think. Enterprise software has a broken feedback loop which is why it's so bad. We need more people leaving jobs over it imo so that cios/ctos start factoring in the impact of crappy enterprise software on their employees. People failing to speak up is why we have to deal with so much crap at work. Consumer software that's no good just doesn't get bought (microsoft seems to have found a way around this, but you see my point)
It is about 15 hours to the Rockies. Did you mean the Sierra Nevada mountains?
Another fun fact: revisiting subway proposals and possibly using the existing tunnels was a part of Cincinnati's sometimes derided failed 2012 Summer Olympics bid.

(ETA: Mocking that Olympics bid was where I first learned of the unfinished subway system.)
Good approach; a faster read on NAND-to-X.

Original comment started by stating your many years of experience and noting that interviewer was much younger. Then complains about being asked to do coding. And then, based on just those two, saying that you know you'd be unhappy working with people like him.

Amazon isn't great environment in most of the pockets of the company (haven't worked there, but worked with a lot of people who came from there), so it's quite possible that you "dodged the bullet".

But only when pressed, you start to complain how interviewer is immature, arrogant, rigid. That's not what you originally stated - you had issues with an interviewer age and being asked to do coding. I'm not trying to defend the interviewer - it's very possible that they were bad interviewers - big tech companies push people early to start interviewing. But things that you complained about initially make it sound like you maybe also not a very pleasant candidate to work with, that comes into the interview with a lot of bias.
The search function on FDroid is atrocious. I find all the language packs for Anysoftkeyboard but not the keyboard itself.
As much as I love IRC, it is fundamentally incompatible with the way people use
IM these days. Even if you gloss over the lack of "modern" features, you're
still going to have a very hard time with vanilla IRC on mobile where keeping a
persistent background socket open is frowned upon (if not outright illegal).

Don't get me wrong - I love IRC, and have used it as my primary social network
for years. And after spending a full decade trying to switch people over to open
protocols, I've found the hard way that the network effect trumps all.

I just don't see the average Whatsapp user ever switching to IRC.
Fully agreed. Add `sessionInfo()` output as an appendix to your publication. Should not be too hard to rebuild from that.
