Or better still, you should be able to integrate a decent search tool into your editor.

I'd take ag or rg over the built-in ones I've seen and being able to use them alone or in vim (or in a script) is a huge benefit.
I've used every major DE and WM over the last few years, but KDE has provided me the smoothest, most stress-free experience of them all, which is why I sacrificed the leanness of a WM+hacks kind of system to stick to the latest Plasma.

Facebook was very useful in connect with likeminded people, particularly on my hobbies, but Facebook scares me now. I'm 49. Posting the wrong meme could destroy my career and upend my life, and it's just not worth the risk. I've chosen to delete my Facebook account to limit my potential exposure to cancel culture. The privacy aspect never bothered me much because that ship left the harbor long ago, there's no going back to "privacy" online. Cancel culture, on the other hand, can come out of anywhere, any time, for any reason, and that scares me. For that reason alone, Facebook IMO is a very dangerous, unsafe place to be.
Only if the role you're hiring for requires directly applying those algos. A high level understanding is good but implementation knowledge isn't.

I've been in this industry for almost 15 years. I've never once had to write a low level algo implementation. On the few occasions I had to dig that deep into code I looked up what I'd forgotten. If someone asked me to whiteboard bubble sort I'd choke.

There's no need to know it all by heart and recall it on demand unless the job you're doing requires it.
No application implemented within a browser is "simple". It's obfuscated and hidden complexity of a scale so large than only mega-corps are capable of handling, and so chosing, which directions things go.

Simple would be a real application not subject to the constant churn and complexity of corporate driven web.
I find nothing more dumbfounding than people who talk about quitting facebook, but are on insta daily.
I'm curious if you could go more into the unpleasantness someone could do with an abandoned phone number. I inherited my mom's phone number years ago and recently had to dump it when I swapped my data plan. It honestly feels like the best thing that ever happened to me b/c I used to get daily spam calls and since getting the new number have gotten maybe 1 spam call total in the past two years, so had planned to change my number more frequently going forward.
It took me months of living with someone eating peanut-only pb to get used to it, at some point I stopped thinking about how gross it was, and then I tried ye olde sugar pb again after a year and almost gagged. You totally can get used to it.

Some quality of life tricks to make it easier:

buy multiple jars and store them upside down so gravity can help you start mixing

mix initially (if you're able) by rapidly rotating the jar in your hand (twisting your forearm), this will get you 90% of the way

finish off the mix with a knife

keep the well mixed open jars in the fridge

This is Hacker News. It self-selects for just hitting "back" and leaving a critical, half-accurate comment.
I just saw a bunch of spam status updates on my sisters Facebook account that'd just be way too much of a coincidence to not be related to this...
Having taught/TA'd first-year university programming courses in both Scheme and Java, I find the idea of a teachability-oriented imperative OO programming language quite appealing.

Our first-semester course used DrScheme, and the simplicity of language and IDE helped us focus on teaching a structured approach to programming, with unit tests first etc. Also, whenever the program did not behave as expected, we could go through the program with Scheme's eyes and mentally apply the evaluation rules.

In the second semester, students are supposed to learn Java, and that was challenging because you really have to understand static methods and String arrays just to write a Helloworld program of which you can explain every line. Also, Java rewards using public field accesses instead of getters&setters (in the short term), which is just the habit you don't want your students to adopt. I could go on with arrays vs. collections, classes in the io package which should be interfaces etc...

So if there was a clean statically-typed modern OO language, I'd look forward to using it.
If you want to encourage innovation inside of a larger company, go read http://www.amazon.com/Winning-New-Products-Accelerating-Proc.... You'll get a lot of ideas and some very practical advice for addressing that problem.

Basically what it comes down to is, "Start with lots of ideas, and have a rigorous process for making most of them fail fast with a minimal allocation in resources."

Well, there is an alternative to "Working for free".

You could try to find something which has monetary value for them and try to create it by yourself and selling it to them.

It doesn't have to be a technological solution it could be any business related thing - potential customer database, sales leads etc.. (I am not sure what you are good at so...)

Basically, if you have something of value you could always try and sell it to someone - and if it is of value someone will pay for it or at least might consider your contributions worth more than what it costs to have you there.
> Federal Reserve can increase and decrease effective money supply as it pleases

It can adjust monetary base as it pleases, effective money supply of the type measured by M1 and M2 relies on market behavior which the Fed can't control as well as monetary base, which it can.
No need for you to preach to the choir about not trusting the Chinese government. As can be seen in the thread, people would much prefer to trust conspiracy theorists and fringe scientists before they put any trust in the Chinese government.

To me, the only constructive discussion that can be had at this point needs to be around actual evidence, and not the absence of it. The first documented cases, first traces of positive samples etc etc. It's clearly still in the early stages of discoveries so all theories are just theories. That said I don't expect this to remain a mystery forever. It will just take time, because eventually the natural origins will be pinned down and reasonable chain of events of first spread will be identified.
Before it becomes history:

Phase 1: hall monitor trolls in coordination with HR use it to keep people in line

Phase 2: the archive is rediscovered as truth about what the world used to be like and suppressed

Phase 3: there is no archive and never was

Phase 4: the archive is rediscovered, hidden and the esoteric knowledge used to start a cult

Phase 5: the cult eventually prevails in society, becomes a religion and suppresses inconvenient parts of the archive

Phase 6: well history repeats itself so why go on?
You can just configure your editor to run formatter on save or with a shortcut. Not really a deal breaker.

it is'nt protected per se, more like it got grand-fathered in. inertia and all that.
It's amazing that cases like this still come up regardless of all the breaches. The level of carelessness blows my mind.
Thanks for the clarification about how Excel is manipulating Outlook.
It still seems completely unnecessary. The standard way of turning people down nowadays seems to be to smile and say "sure, we should get lunch one of these days, you can contact me at my email/IM/Facebook/whatever", and then never reply when they contact you. What could be simpler and safer?

Its interesting to me that this is written by Krugman. I am glad to see that he has read The High Frontier, Its one of my personal favorites.
On a similar note, I've recently become very interested in buying a Lemote laptop. It's exactly the tiny form factor I'm looking, runs an open MIPS chip, and comes preinstalled with some version of Linux, though I'd probably load Gentoo as it's said to work quite well. The various models run $150-300 in USD depending on the supplier, from what I can tell.

Unfortunately it's very hard to buy these computers in the US, and I will probably have to pick it up on some future trip to China. I would definitely a Massdrop or crowdfunding campaign to send purchase a set from the Chinese distributor.
Oh yeah, I always forget about the QFX series. Seems like that would do the job.

List prices are utter nonsense for switches, but the QFX does come in above the other two I mentioned. Perhaps because of its fibre-channely nature that no one (I hope) cares about.

QFX5100-48T: $24,000
Nexus 3064-T: $13,000
7050T-52: $20,000

Still, any of these would work if you get the right deal. I could see an advantage for 10g copper if I had mixed racks where not all of my hosts needed 10g on the server side, but that's a big premium to pay over 1g TOR if you aren't using lots of 10 gig ports.

For me, I just use copper on 1 gig racks and DAC on 10 gig racks. So far, so good.

We'll have the technical side of this solved before the legal side is.
The purpose of analogies is to explore an unfamiliar hypothetical in the context of a familiar situation. We can't magically copy handbags, so we resort to constructing an analogy that is as close as possible. From the perspective of a handbag producer, who has no use value for the handbag, refunding the cost of replacement is functionally the same as copying the bag so it doesn't require replacement.

Funny time to complain about this, a few days after SpaceX confirms that it will be building a 9-Raptor engine, 6-9M lbf methalox launch vehicle comparable in scope per core to the Saturn V, and suggests strongly that they're going to make a 3-core configuration.

Ultimately we (our representatives in Congress) decided in ~1970 that actual exploration was simply too expensive. Political goal accomplished, Moon reached, Soviets cowed, mission over. Instead we would pay endless lip service to the idea while cutting budgets as far as possible. The design-by-committee-session Shuttle was a ridiculous project in a dozen different ways and failed to do much of anything (including being cheap), beyond two key elements: firstly, being impossible to cancel. Second, it waved the flag for the notional romance of space in an age of decay, when we became disinterested in funding and structuring programs at a sufficient level to innovate or even seek out the maximum return per dollar by choosing appropriate technology.

SLS and Orion explicitly continue in this legacy. I'm hoping Elon Musk's motivations outlast the US Congress's.
To anyone who might misread the title like I did, we're talking 600,000 copies, not sales in USD.
The income tax system, and the principle of taxing income, is wrong in so many ways, but I have given up arguing the point. The inertia of the system and the inertia of individuals is too great to overcome. I've identified these major contributing factors:

1) Vested interests that like the tax system the way it is.

2) Envy and fear of envy. People who think the income tax takes from the rich, and people who happily pay their fair share because they have guilt feelings about their level of income, and think others should too.

3) The last reason is the overwhelming majority think of the income tax system as THE natural and logical system for raising revenue, having no clue about how it came into being and evolved.
This needs to be said more. I absolutely love being in an open office layout because it allows for easy collaboration as well as the occasional spontaneous fun interruption. People seem to get hung up on the interruptions as if they lose tons and tons of productivity. I just haven't experienced issues like that personally. I find that the interruptions are a welcome break to the monotony of staring at code for 8 hours a day.

The privacy issue also needs to be addressed on a cultural level as well. My first job was open layout but I had one of those nosey managers that wants to know what you're doing every 15 minutes. I got talked to for being on Facebook during my lunch break. In order to really have a successful open office layout you need to have everyone on board and prepared to "let go" a little. Yeah people goof off during the day. We aren't robots that can sit down at 8:30 and constantly type for the next 8 to 9 hours. At my current job no one really cares if they walk up to you to ask a question and you happen to be taking a couple minutes to clear your head and look at cat gifs. I think that's the way it should be.
Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy S class of phones (I have the Captivate from AT&T) is a wonderful device. The only limitation is that it is still on 2.1, but it is supposed to be upgrade "sometime". That's AT&T's fault, though.
I had no idea that was in there. That's what I get for not reading the ToS.

How does Section XIV, sentence 8 work? Does it have any legal standing at all?
"General Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord, the present chief of the German Army, has a method of selecting officers which strikes us as being highly original and peculiarly un-­Prussian. According to Exchange, a Berlin newspaper has printed the following as his answer to a query as to how he judged his officers: “I divide my officers into four classes as follows: The clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities.

Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”
That's completely untrue. Advertisers come to Google and say "we want to sell this, people in these demographics would like it" and Google shows it to me or you based on what it knows about us.

Google knows lots about me; people who buy adwords don't.
I bought my Acer C720 for $160 and it has been the best preforming chromebook until a couple months ago.

You can still get good performance in a cheap chromebook if you do a little research.
I guess it stopped. It's not easy/cheap to run a negative RoI DDoS campaign. It's a good thing that they didn't achieve what they wanted (hopefully) though. As CloudFlare and other mitigation services get more mainstream hopefully these kind of attacks will stop or at least minimize. Though unfortunately I know very well people with vested interest will come up with other ideas to break sites/services.
I remember seeing a U.S. government counterintelligence film (maybe linked from HN?) meant to discourage people, especially exchange students, from being recruited as assets of Chinese spy agencies. It was based on a true story in which an American was recruited and then applied for a clearance at the instigation of his foreign contacts. In the film, he was caught as a result of failing a polygraph: when uncomfortable questions arise during the examination, he asks to discontinue it and withdraw his application, and they don't let him get away with that; they end up prosecuting him and he pleads guilty to espionage charges.

I couldn't help thinking that the polygraph might have worked in that situation mainly because he believed it would!

Edit: maybe this also belongs in http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClapYourHandsIfYo...
That's not what I mean. I mean that we need to actively look for intrinsic meaning of our existence, just to have the case covered that there really is a grand purpose and that we will be disadvantaged if we don't act in accordance to it.
That's a funny idea in a world where you can't ask someone what they're making and mentioning union will get you fired.
Well they pay for licenses, training, insurance and fee to the agency. No wonder they are frustrated that Uber drivers under banner of "hacking industry" avoid those laws and manage to charge customers less as their cost of running is mostly their time + petrol.

Nothing explains behavior like that, but for sure Uber is last company to feel sorry for.
Courtney,

Thank you for posting. I sent along a cover letter, and resume, for the Account Manager position listed on your website

I don't get this reaction by management- if the work is getting done, who cares?!
That link doesn’t work in Safari on iPad.
5. Take your job. Essentially you’re not doing any work are you? You’re looking for competent people to do work for you.

Would going into management be what this guy is looking for? I’m looking for honesty as candid as the op.
People are saying this film is anti-China propaganda. I'd say it's pro because it shows the hopeless, illogical, ineffective, futility of HK looters and terrorists, and how deluded, manipulated and used they were.

That's what happens under a "Western system" running loose, is one message that HK could be helping to shape. China made 1 law, and order is restored. Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much pro for China, despite the incessant shrill whining of the terrorist wannabes.
At least in my experience, people who get away with a small amount of work are almost always senior people who are highly regarded by the higher-ups. It's difficult to get away with doing very little work as a junior person in any org because 1) you don't have the autonomy to choose the work, 2) you're considered fungible, so you're given relatively fungible work, which is easy to size and compare against others, and 3) you're not trusted, so managers scrutinize your work more. The caveat is that it's hard to overcome these issues without having worked hard at some point - the key is having some level of expertise within the company along with the trust of the higher-ups who would rather focus their energy on ensuring that less trustworthy people don't mess up.
Out of curiosity, do these optimizations / calculations find their way into scripts like postgresqltuner [1] or do most DBA's here just apply their own learned optimizations manually?

Work in government, education, or non-profit. I've worked in 2 of those and was regularly pressured by management to work less hard lest I make everyone look bad. My first job out of college for a non-profit (only company that would hire me) involved about 30 minutes a day of actual work.
Most of us thought it was cost savings. It was at a university where even the cost of bottled water somehow would be pointed to as the culprit for why we needed to be furloughed.
I'd say I was much less productive. Usually when we were pushing 80 hours weeks, we were getting ready for a big conference that our bank put on - and cranking out loads of monotonous pitch books that didn't require too much mental energy. At least, not too much if you'd done similar ones 100 times before!

If I had had to create a financial model from scratch - or put together something really complex at hour 80 - that would have been a MUCH harder task.
Awesome.

I'm personally so much more of a software hacker. But I do have a friend that can do all kinds of hardware hacks, from woodwork to welding. He loves doing it too, but often hits a roadblock with certain ideas since he doesn't have the required machinery and is currently employed outside this field of work. And without the funds, also doesn't have the opportunity to go very far with his hobby.

Unfortunately, he also doesn't have the software background to work at Google. It's an amazing perk they offer for sure. It'd be really cool if they expanded this to allow some non-computer geeks to pitch in every now and then though.
It was actually at Yale.

I compiled operating systems (linux) on my clunky 486/100 MHz laptop 19 years ago. Ditto.
Oh, they are probably indeed different. But the question wasn’t whether they were different; it was whether we could tell the difference in a blind folded test.

Also, it’s not true.
Tiger Engine that Bungie uses in Destiny supposedly took hours to rebuild a level and didn’t do incremental builds or cache so fixing that one bad light on the map was potentially days of wait.

Still better than earlier versions of Frostbite Engine from EA Dice that took week if no cache was present and ran on server farm that took raw assets together with metadata and spit out final game assets.

This has to do with the JVM's monitoring, which, among many other things, monitors memory allocation/deallocation, which just happens to be automatic. It has nothing to do with automatic vs. manual memory management.
Tutorials are specifically "learn to get something done, RIGHT NOW, working on the shoulders of giants".

Education from first principles is common in computer science, but tutorials aren't the place.

Analogous in physics would be, "I need to figure out exactly how much force is going to be applied through this climbing harness and pulley system lest I fall and die", and learning how to plug your variables into a standard set of equations without understanding anything but basic calculator operation.
all of those networks still have to get carried by cable operators in order to remain viable, and losing ground by stepping on their primary distrubuters' toes would risk too much, I think
"forever" is not mis-use, it's also correct and it's the more-common usage by far (in my experience). Let me google that for you: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8...
This should make it clear that if you want to start a startup without funding, you should move to manhattan, get a job in financial services and share an apt in queens.
Do this for 3 years and you could have $100k in da bank. Then u quit and then startup.
