I bought a $20 backpack from Target, have been using it constantly for 7 years now, and it's doing fine.
But do you need both? What if severe cases to total cases is not a fixed rate, as assumed by most models I have seen?
I think at a certain point up in the stack you don't want to have another orchestrator for the orchestrator. You would just tell each team to keep their cluster up-to-date without creating a (dangerous) master button to update them all at once.
> io_uring’s slow path is making one blocking syscall every time you would ordinarily make a blocking syscall.

That's not correct, io_uring was "absolutely" designed, at least in the technical sense, for zero syscalls in the slow path (if you want to):

IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL
When this flag is specified, a kernel thread is created to perform submission queue polling.
An io_uring instance configured in this way enables an application to issue I/O without ever
context switching into the kernel. By using the submission queue to fill in new submission
queue entries and watching for completions on the completion queue, the application can submit
and reap I/Os without doing a single system call.

From the man page: https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/liburing-dev/io_uring_s...

This mode required privileges in early kernel versions but that's already changed. Things are moving fast.
Thanks, I created viewtext. It also populates RSS feeds to contain the full content and extracts text from PDFs.
Tax consumption, land, pollution.
If those sneaky mega rich start founding companies in US that are clean, don't sell in US and thus don't pay taxes it's just a huge win for everyone. Once you sell to the area with consumption taxes you pay those. Couple that with some Ubi/reverse income tax to offset consumption taxes hitting the poor/middle class more and it's a simple and fair tax system.

It's not a new idea either. You just need to get the idea of "evil corps need to pay" mindset.
The court overall seems confused, but whatever, at least they didn't rule wrongly in favor of Oracle, so I'm happy our long national nightmare is over.

Specifically I'm less motivated to read more of the PDF when the opening says "The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Programming Interface (API)." I don't think any programmer would ever describe an API as a tool. A program implementing an API, or talking to an API, sure, but the API itself, is not itself a tool or program.
Often the reasons can be hard or even impossible to face. The brain is amazing at hiding traumatic events. Sometimes these can be examined and processed with meditation and reflection; sometimes the big guns (psilocybin or ayahuasca) are the tool for the job. I do think traumas are worth examining and processing, but meds may be the most pertinent first step for some: even a short breath of fresh air that they can provide could be the difference between life and death
I don't think that's what he's arguing.

Systematic problems are worth correcting and shouldn't be ignored.

The problem is that systematic problems requiring systematic solution doesn't provide a framework for individual behavior in the meantime.

You can't wait for problems to get fixed. Even if you're working hard or contributing money to those that are working to get problems fixed, you're still stuck in whatever circumstances you are in. It may be a long time for these problems to be fixed, in the meantime we're the heroes(or villains) of our own stories.
Yeah at my current job we run RDS in AWS and scale it up to a m5.12xlarge when we need to get sh*t done fast. It normally sits around a 4xlarge simply because the 12 is far too expensive.

I'll check out GeoMesa though, looks interesting!
Another question is what do jurisdictions do with excess corporate tax revenue they don't need? A lot of "tax havens" have no need for more revenue.

But that said the US has pushed a lot of countries into tax treaties and it sounds like they can effectively embargo countries that don't comply with US tax policies. So I think the US has ways of getting what it wants.
I'd recommend checking out a book called "The Body Keeps the Score". It talks about how people's minds and bodies can stop functioning normally due to traumas like sexual abuse, war, etc.

I would have thought that since traumatic experiences have been around forever, humans would have adapted to dealing with those better by now. And yet the medical evidence laid out in this book seems to show that healing from traumas is difficult. To me, that means there is something "unnatural" about trauma (or at least the most awful cases).

I'm probably not doing the book enough justice. Here's the goodreads profile for anyone who wants to explore further: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18693771-the-body-keeps-...
The first communist international was mainly about antiimmigration.

Were they "hard-right" too ?
What are the legal implications of this in regards to the right of being forgotten, copyright laws or even the simple issue of moderation? For example if someone posts a hateful tweet or some extremist content (e.g. photos of terror, etc.) which goes against the law (and therefore gets taken down by Twitter) is it not reprehensible if archive.org is re-publishing such content?
Uber has chosen this as a business model. Nobody forced them to hire thousands upon thousands of people with zero vetting and send them out to deliver rides. It may be that this business model doesn't work.

Facebook may be too late to the IaaS game which is already a crowded field. I think they could easily do PaaS/SaaS based on their bread and butter domains. Between FB, Insta and WhatsApp they are probably the top mobile developer in the world, handle more user-generated content than anyone and messaging. These are super valuable services. Imagine spinning up a business and subscribing to Facebook's content moderation tools or app deployment pipeline? Those would be extremely valuable and don't have an outright market leader right now.
I guess we fucked ourselves moving to green energy. Time to turn on the coal burners and get to warming this planet up.
> directly and immediately replacing the wages of everyone the government and/or corona are not allowing to work

wonder what happens if govt just pays everyone for 6 months ( per your estimate). Wouldn't it just merely cause inflation since no actual goods are being allowed to be produced and people will be willing to offer more and more money for limited supplies = inflation?
Wrong; it's true. I work on Google Cloud Storage. There are multiple layers of sharing at varying depths. The externally visible APIs to cloud storage are the tip of the iceberg, and the iceberg is very, very deep.
Well, we're currently all remote, heh, but usually prefer on-site in SF. We are open to remote for the right candidate though.
In the uk fewer than 2000 people a year die from car accidents - the take no action modelling has deaths at around 1 million by the end of the summer in the UK(plus a health service that is entirely paralysed)
And I love _why's book to death, but trying to learn programming from Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby (with Cartoon Foxes) is like trying to learn to play guitar by listening to Jimi Hendrix records while stoned.

If you're capable of learning to program from the Poignant Guide you certainly don't need an exhaustive guide on how to be a hacker. You're going to be able to figure it out on your own.
Amazon and ebay need a lot more infrastructure than youtube/google/twitter and have therefore never really put in a big effort on China. I'm sure they aren't very successful in most developing countries. Those other ones would be competitive like they are everywhere else in the world if they had a chance.

Google was the one that really invested in China and though not in the same league as Baidu yet, it was definitely moving up in market share until the government turned hostile on them. They definitely "understood" how to do business in China: they had a big Chinese staff, they even had a music search like Baidu which surprised me because it seems like something RIAA would go nuts at, and they made their own very good pinyin input system.

I'm guessing if Amazon or ebay got successful and competitive with their players, China would suddenly notice some pro-Tibet book on there and use it as an excuse to give them the boot.

Hackety Hack (http://hacketyhack.heroku.com/) was talking about a version for the Mac App Store using MacRuby

Our current app will be open-sourced on Github soon...
uh oh. that's written by David Stes, a major troll. he made comp.lang.objective-c completely unusable for years.

if he found out that Apple had finally implemented blocks, he would definitely be finding some problem with it, rest assured. that guy hated Apple for some reason.
Actually, I hope that people's budding interest in hobby beekeeping can help pick up the slack...

I was thinking the other day about the viability of a small business that would install apiaries in peoples back yards, and the hosts would get a share of the honey. The rest would be sold at at markets. A distributed system of bzzzzz. Eh? An article in the nytimes the other day inspired the idea - about how different communities are dropping prohibitions on urban beekeeping. Of course, this article appeared only a few days after another article about bees drinking maraschino cherry juice in Red Hook and producing red metallic-tasting honey.
me too .
I don't mind NDAs as long as they're reasonable and I get something out of signing them. In general I'd rather know things and not be able to talk about them than not know in the first place.

As FreeBSD security officer I handle 'do not disclose until date X' information on a regular basis.
I would have upgraded several of my machines to Windows 8 if it wasn't for the price. I already have a bunch of Windows 7 licenses.
Actually, I was referencing the AT&T "go ahead, it's AT&T's data and we can do whatever we want with it". That was so bad that Congress passed an ex post facto law relieving them of any criminal or civil wrongdoing.

The problem here is that Google's data on us belongs to Google. They can do anything they want to that data: take a crap on it, process it for better ad targeting, analyze social media trends and figure out who we associate with, and/or give it to people like the FBI/CIA/NSA.

Or, Google was hacked. That's also well within the realm of possibility as well. But I think governmental "persuasion techniques" like http://xkcd.com/538/ work much better.

Just look at the stories of Qwest former CEO. He said no.
Case and point is the TikTok clone that became the no.1 downloaded app when TikTok was getting banned. As soon as someone else can offer the same or similar experience, users will switch.
Ya, the idea of giving facebook control of a camera in my house? Haha, nope.
> I hope big tech buries the NYT.

How, by disinterring it from the shallow grave where it was left by its own "journalists"?
Accurate shooting is an incredible skill to hone. I derive tons of fun and recreation from shooting. I go shooting at the range about once per month.

You can shoot for sport too. Hence why there are various olympic events involving it.

Shooting animals for sport is also a subset of this. Why on earth do you think it can't be used as a recreational hobby?
Even if reading HN didn't help you "get ahead" doesn't mean it has no value.

It has lots of value for me as a procrastination tool and simply because I find a lot of the articles and the discussions here interesting, stimulating and educational. Whether or not it helps me to "succeed" is quite far down the list for me of the reasons I value it.
Why what? Why climb? Or why "local maxima"? Or just a general why, for the heck of it? If it's the latter, then my answer would be the following question: Is there any reason not to?
> The margin by what metric? My Apache processes are less than 500KB each.

Resource usage in high active connections situation. I remembered I got it that low back then, but isn't the number raise by each active connection? 1000*500KB is 500MB. Nginx stays at 3MB.
It appears that the "finance" category often is totally separate though, and that you can break into it without doing something like tech first. The people being classified as "financiers" on the list never started a non-finance company--- folks like George Soros made their money 100% in finance. They made their initial money moving up the ranks at investment banks, playing arbitrage strategies, pulling in bonuses from big deals, etc.
Once a site's above a gameable threshold, Alexa's a decent metric of how unsophisticated users interact with it. If that's an interesting demographic to you, you can probably get some value out of Alexa numbers.
I see this in a small sector of the rich middle classes here in the UK - a rich wife, often a mother, has a huge SUV for the school run whilst the husband has a town car for parking at the railway station or has a sales rep standard issue.
I also posted this article because I was interested in other peoples take on this. Good for us in the USA? Personally, I don't think so because I see this as another step towards the dollar no longer beng the standard reserve currency. It would be great if there was an uptick in manufacturing here, but on balance, this does not look good to me.
"Your solution promotes gender stereotypes"
That's what I liked about the old Facebook, there was a deterrent to mass friending.
So, no it's not. Side note, Ro Khanna has been paid an obscene amount of money by Google. He claims "No PAC $$" on his profile, but Google is his top donor, and Google's top law firm is his second top donor: https://www.opensecrets.org/races/contributors?cycle=2020&id... He is basically a paid advocate for Google's political positions, not the public interest.

The service pictured in that screenshot solely is offering zero-rating packages on top of an existing metered data package. Additionally, this is for a mobile carrier, not a home ISP. And finally, Portugal has net neutrality!

Snopes fact checked this claim as "mostly false": https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/portugal-net-neutrality/
You say that as if we our secular nation doesnt have "under god" on our money. The religious right still perturbs liberal democracy in this nation on a vastly larger scale than the so called secular belief system you think has usurped them.

This nation was not formed to protect your speech from the ire public opinion, it was formed to protect it from states, the power that holder monopoly over forceful power.
You need to eat either fat or carbohydrate to go with the protein. If you're eating fat with the protein (and no carbohydrates), you aren't going to avoid ketosis (and you'll be OK).
I don't get it, if there wasn't a SciHub where would a person get free-gratis access to all scientific papers in one place (without being tracked AFAIAA, nor advertised to!).

SciHub seems to have value beyond any "anti-value" Elsevier has.

SciHub use is tortuous infringement in my country, this comment is in not way an endorsement of its use.
I occasionally read these, but I am still not clear in what the difference between these permissions I am about to deny and the others.
Schwab has no overdraft fees if you have one of their brokerage accounts. All you incur all margin fees and those are really low like ($0.50 was the most I've been hit with).
How would the group be defined, and what crimes would be pardoned?
Couldn't they switch to vkontakte?
As Keynes famously said, "Past performance is a guarantee of future results"
I always thought the money was in the float for them. The more money they convince you not to spend and just hold onto in your account, the more float they have to make money off.
I meant any animals, it’s a personal preference. I know how well hotel rooms get cleaned, and I’d rather take my chances with rooms that haven’t had animals.

It’s also not that simple for smaller business to amortize the costs since the pricing has to be competitive with larger businesses that can amortize over more rooms, so a lot of times, the business does have to eat it. It’s also a very unpredictable cost with high variance.
Devil's advocate: Would you not be annoyed that your individual health is reduced so that the "commons" is healthier?

I think part of the problem is people will not sacrifice their own health. It's mainly a "that sounds great, you go first" mindset. Thankfully with population growth slowing I think we're not nearly as bad off as you might think.
> Why would it be “keeb” and not “keyb”. Is it pronounced liked “jeeb”?

Much as I don’t like calling it “keeb”, and therefore personally don’t call it that, writing it as “keeb” makes sense if you’re going to pronounce it that way. If it was written “keyb” then I might have read it as “key be” instead.
Many people in our industry never get to do much architecting beyond a very limited scale. Much of my career was spent fixing bugs as a contractor or implementing very targeted features in embedded systems. It was only later on in my career where the balance shifted to more architecting of larger features.

Plenty of folks are just 'programmers'. They're barely software 'engineers' and definitely not computer scientists. It is perfectly reasonable to spend your entire career as a programmer, dealing with small issues in a systems you inherited from someone else.
In my view there are worse ways to make money from a chat app. Like selling all your users data. Ir worse yet just selling out to FB. At least a crypto scheme can maybe be the cash cow that helps them keep true to the privacy aspect....
Me, I don't like solving logical puzzles for play anymore since I started programming. I could always program instead and make progress in something real :)

So my preferred games now are the fast exciting kind, and often language-related like Taboo.
Yeah, that’s what the “with impunity” part is about.
Given that the leaderboards for typing speed competitions are dominated by qwerty typers, and that I, a qwerty typer, type faster than every single one of my dvorak friends, and that the general pattern of the scholarly work on dvorak is that experimental rigor correlates positively with p-values, I'm inclined to say that the reason for qwerty's continued dominance is not just that people are stuck in their ways. It's absolutely a factor, of course, but another one is that the benefits of dvorak have been greatly exaggerated.
Bengio and Gebru have very different public personas -- Bengio doesn't seem to have any Twitter presence at all -- and I think HN is a lot more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to somebody who relatively silently does ML research than to give benefit of the doubt to somebody who is very actively confrontational (perhaps for good reason) on Twitter.
Several conversations on this topic have brought up that pay rates at Intel are now less than the median of the industry. This would be fallout from actions by the MBAs in charge, but I don't think it's just an MBA issue. Something is clearly rotten in middle management in Intel. Either the people investigating the problems with their process weren't given the freedom to experiment to narrow down the scope of the problem, or they lost all their competent process engineers and are left with insufficient clue to fix the problem. If Intel has to rebuild their process group from scratch, they could be in for additional years of pain as new people come up to speed. Given that the United States is no longer a leader in bleeding edge process technology, this could take far longer than expected. How long will it take Intel to poach enough talent from TSMC to make a difference? And will they be able to integrate into Intel's culture?
I`m a student, so currently I`m in love with the different kinds of study blogs (such as https://ivypanda.com/blog/).
This question assumes that there is something valuable that Instagram does that Path is "copying" in some way.

Instagram does a good job of quickly taking photos, applying filters, and then uploading them to your choice of social photo sites. That's something any number of us here could code up in an afternoon with all the APIs and toolkits available on the iPhone/these services.

Depends on what you mean with cheap.
Ableton, the company I work for, are based in Berlin and are looking for Python devs: http://www.ableton.com/jobs It's a really nice place to work, and the pay is OK for Berlin.

Great summary of cost of living and tech scene from maxklein. You can live very cheaply here, if you work at it. Some bars serve a half-litre of beer for 1€, some reasonable apartments can be got for 120€ a month if you can live with coal-fired heating.

The other tech company I know well is SoundCloud. They are great. They are mostly Ruby-based, but they're expanding the technology they use rapidly at the moment, so they might be flexible.

Good luck: Berlin is a fantastic place to live.
Thanks for the initial responses.

Most of my experience is web development related, and my language of choice is Python (although I've used Ruby, C#, Java, PHP, C++, C). Though being a web developer isn't necessarily what I'd look for (I wouldn't mind it), I hope to find a job that offers more challenging computer science problems than merely cutting-pasting libraries to create a simple CRUD interface. However, I know that it'll be difficult to find a job in a new country and a job that really pushes my CS knowledge and forces me to learn, so I don't plan on being overly picky.

From the responses thus far, I realize that for someone hoping to go to a new country, I'll need to learn about VISAs and work-permits.

Beyond information about where I should look to find a job (which is very helpful), do you have any additional insight into how I should find one?

Are there specific European-focused tech job-boards/search engines I should browse? Are there any things I should avoid when contacting European companies, that might be common in job-hunting within the USA?
This explains how the code highlighting is done in jsbin.com.
It's possible that some men, especially the very successful/powerful, are afraid that a woman will file suit over something which, despite being said without malice, was offensive to the listener.

Edit: I'm not necessarily defending their decision to discriminate based on gender. I'm only trying to suggest a motive for their bad behavior.
Go doesn't even have local type inference: http://ideone.com/RQzz7E. Contrast with a language that actually does: http://ideone.com/LtN1vQ. Type inference, even the local kind, means figuring out the types of variables from how they'r e used, not just from how they're initialized.
