Is there anything bad with focusing on a single project and doing it well instead of spreading attention on tons of different & unrelated ones especially when you’re resource-constrained?

The majority of people know and appreciate Mozilla because of Firefox and Firefox alone. Their other projects are just distractions IMO.
Everything being "the contents of ram and the running system image". Suspend to ram doesn't write the contents of ram to disk, it keeps the ram active, constantly refreshing it.

Hybrid Suspend will suspend to ram, then additionally write the contents of ram to disk, so that the image can be resumed in the event of a power failure. The "resume" codepaths in this case are literally the same as if you'd just hibernated.
Coq can do everything Z3 does (with a few axioms mixed in)... except for the fast automation a SMT solver is all about :-). The decidable logic fragment Z3 was king on for more than a decade — uninterpreted functions, linear arithmetic, arrays, bitvectors, and more recently datatypes, is quite restricted but for formulas that fit in it (possibly after encoding) Z3 will steamroll Coq's automation.

That is, unless you use CoqHammer which just calls Z3 or cvc4 from Coq, of course.
To add some historical context, chariots were the dominant battlefield technology throughout the Old World for centuries—maybe like the Bronze Age version of a main battle tank. But in the Iron Age (around 01000 BCE) they were displaced by massed formations with spears, which continued to be the dominant battlefield technology until the Gatling and Maxim guns in the late 01800s (CE). Pompeii is preserved, if that's the word, from 00079 CE, so at that point chariots had been primarily ceremonial for about a millennium, like cavalry is today.
Yes I know the difference, I was making a point, you can still know what you are saying but not say everything that needs to be said in order to fit the definition, in fact I am arguing that if you are telling a story, and not writing a book, you can't fit that definition.
I think they had a wave of people join from Germany either earlier this month or last month, so I imagine there are already plenty of Europeans on the app. Plus, doesn't GDPR apply even if there's just one user who resides in the EU?
I always preferred doing ECS at a higher level. Above core engine level. Using ECS to handle stuff like rendering never made sense to me. So for me, Godot's approach is the ultimate one. You model core engine compoments with inheritance and use ECS only for high level behavior for entities;

This is the way.
I have spoken.
I think they mean improves performance on an unrelated skill/knowledge test, such as doing math problems. The benefit is realized either in introverts or extroverts apparently.
When I search for this, it's hard to look past the poverty, people who's dwellings are handmade and have no documentation.

I guess 50 million people living in real poverty is just a statistic.

For all the illegal comments, these dirt poor people living in slums are also living illegally. They probably have no formal property documentation.
> you will also have to draw a distinction between how you understand communication from in-group and out-group

Holy projection, Batman!

What you are saying is that in order to fully understand what Biden means when he says "you ain't black if you don't vote for me", we have to search for a meaning for this that puts Biden in the best possible light while still maintaining a modicum of plausibility.

Meanwhile, to take an example of understanding communication from the out-group, when Trump says "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard" what he really meant was "let's go burn the Capitol down and murder everyone we can find, and also overthrow the government lol!1!1!!1!!!!". And we know that's what he meant because we have to search for the worst possible meaning of his words, and throw that modicum of plausibility right out the window. Then blame Trump for breaking the window.

But to you this is the less "complicated" way of understanding communication from the in-group and the out-group?

All anm89 is proposing is to just listen to what both men said. The same. For both of them. But this is what you're calling too complicated?
Yes, but grep for `Rc::new()` in actual rust code bases compared to `shared_ptr` in C++. Interior mutability is cumbersome and not a natural pattern in practice.
Sure, but if you run through a few thousand hashes to check for similarity, an attacker can check for the couple thousand most popular passwords in the same amount of time. It is possible to throw enough money at it to make an attack uneconomical, but that's expensive.

(Also, DoS. Note that you can't stop people from changing passwords when the system is under load, as that sets you up for a combined compromise-password-hashes-then-DoS attack...)
That is a very useful feature! FYI both Chrome and Safari have their own implementation of that, though it requires using the vendor's login system (Gmail; iCloud).
> Then we’ll end up with a csprng getting used in a tight loop iterating over every pixel in a raytracer...

Which will then be conspicuous enough for the developer to notice and fix it.

> “Lazy people who don’t want to type” are not the sort of people I want writing the code I might use or interact with that requires cryptographically secure random numbers...

Bad news though.
Well yeah, trying to use modern hardware on ancient software is going to suck. It's like trying to run a RTX3090 on Windows XP. Debian stable is not a sensible choice for new shiny things, especially GPUs, and that's not really a "Linux" problem, it's a Debian problem.
One thing D does have in its favor over most of the competing alternatives is a fairly mature ecosystem story, with multiple implementations of the compiler, decent docs, libraries for common domains, and a lot of "use hours and eyeballs" on the project as a whole that have brought up and addressed obscure issues. While it has accumulated some more serious warts with time as the project goals have shifted in very large ways, D could be described as boring, useful, and mostly keeping up with the trends, which is a pretty decent place for a fundamental software development tool to be in. I'd be happy to use it again.
One small point, medical system of the US is only vaunted for the rich. For average citizens, who are very unhealthy due to a crappy American diet, healthcare is worse than European nations for the unhealthy here.
Curse you, I had that and it told me someone already had it
I thought it was Madame Curie.
Audio and video would have been a nice to have, which is why I was going this route. I also wanted the data to never touch an external server so users could know their data is as safe as the people they share it with. The data for this app, by nature, isn't important to have a history, so just being able to share data immediately was all I needed, and p2p seemed like the optimal first step.

I cut out audio and video from my features, and for the most part, things are working just fine.
Clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) on macos provides nanosecond-level precision.
Yeah, the US just kills civilians around the world at will, invading whatever country they think they own.
Uniform Teeth | Backend, Frontend & Full Stack Engineers | SF & REMOTE

We're Uniform Teeth — the first premium, clinically credible consumer brand in orthodontics. We're making orthodontics cheaper, faster, and more accessible for everyone, plus we're backed by the same investors as Warby, Instacart, Casper and GoodRx. Read about us in TechCrunch.

## The Role

We have backend, frontend, and full stack roles open. Engineers at Uniform use our capabilities to bring complex systems together in an industry (orthodontics) full of antiquated infrastructure. Projects span over our medical record system (UX and API), operations (eg. manufacturing), and apps and to help build critical functionality for customers (patients), clinicians, and support team.

You'll be responsible for owning features end-to-end with a team who loves doing things right.

## Responsibilities:

- Work with a range of systems, processes, and technologies across the stack – from spec to API to UI implementation

- Building out awesome technological features. Some interesting things: Bitemporality, OPA policies, complex multi-tenancy, web assembly, etc.

- Work with clinical, operational and back office teams to own and solve problems end to end from our EMR (electronic medical record) to our app

- Build new features for patients, clinicians, and support team alike

If you're interested reach out to tony@uniformteeth.com. Full stack JD here, but all positions available: https://bit.ly/2VH180g
A product based company creates their own products, e.g: Spotify, Sumo Logic, Twitter.

What isn't a product company? Agencies, software houses, e.g: EPAM.
My third daughter was delivered by the anesthesiologist, because the ObGyn was stuck in traffic and the anesthesiologist was the only doctor on the floor. Doctors don't need that stuff outside their specialty... until the day they do.
Hmm, interesting theory, what would the grinding change about the peanuts?

My daughter ate PB&Js when she was little but developed a peanut allergy around 3 or 4. She also has tree-nut allergies that are more severe than her peanut allergy, though, so it's hard to say how that's all connected.
Do you feel it'd be an amphibious invasion would be a bit of a pyrrhic victory within 20 years? I feel like the PRC would be unpopular with the citizens of Taiwan and not look good internationally.

My impression is that the PRC was sabre-rattling to rally the public.
Privacy International sound like obtuse blowhards in this piece.

Once you're promiscuously logging unencrypted wifi traffic, it's harder to throw away the possibly-sensitive parts of 'payload data' than to just store it all for later. Storing indiscriminately may be careless, but it is easier to code. Also, store-it-all and analyze/carve/blind-it-later is far more in keeping with MapReduce/BigTable/etc data-mining ethos of a place like Google. So Google's explanation is more credible than Privacy International's speculation.

This doesn't absolve Google -- and the engineer(s) who wrote and deployed the code in question -- from all responsibility. An alarm should have gone off in someone's head -- "collecting this data is problematic!" But it's plausible one person wrote the best scanner they could, and then later another wrote the most comprehensive storage layer they could, and either no one understood the combined impact, or the only person(s) who did were especially obtuse/cavalier about privacy issues. (Lots of niches in the new economy reward, rather than punish, a blaise attitude about privacy details -- at least until it reaches the level of public scandal.)
Almost all the alternatives are quite a bit easier to use than ctypes, with the exception of SWIG
As I interpreted it, the attack was more on the economic rent extracted by the originators of the "zero sum" ABS and CDOs rather than the concepts themselves; the core thesis being that there would be a lot less profit to be extracted from originating opaque financial products if demand for them wasn't artificially inflated by buyers and sellers being insulated from the downside risk of their decisions.

It's more akin to saying you end up with too many startups getting too much funding in a climate where investors don't do adequate due diligence.

You won't find startups "innovating" in as brazenly cynical a manner as alleged in the Goldman Sachs example the author recounts either...startups don't profit from people shorting the stock they issue.
That means you can finally ship 4.x-apps without losing all the iPad owners as potential customers.
This blog post touches on so much!

First off, I think it's very interesting that the blogger characterized the assumption of promotion to be a very Indian/Asian thing, because it's absolutely something that, in America, is considered a very American thing! The whole "Peter Principle" concept of being "promoted to incompetence" is lamentably American, and it certainly shows itself in things like The Office, which began in the UK, too.

The part about being "just a developer" at ThoughtWorks also seems very, very similar to the corporate culture at W. L. Gore and Associates[1], which Malcolm Gladwell discussed in The Tipping Point. At W. L. Gore, everyone is assigned the title of "Associate," and that's it. Same deal!

The developer/manager transition has always fascinated and confused me. I feel like the term "manager" is overloaded. To the extent that a manager's responsibilities are to shield his team from corporate politics, to make sure the code they're working on is solving the right problem, and to keep the dev team happy, I would say that going from developer to manager should not be a vertical move, but a lateral one. Writing code and managing a team of coders have nothing to do with each other.

On the other hand, the managerial position that I would describe as lead developer feels like a more appropriate "next step." A lead developer might not write much code (which is similar to a "manager"), and a lead developer might be called upon to evaluate and discuss business requirements (which is similar to a "manager"), but his concern is the technical repercussions of the decisions made in that space, not the political ones.

I'm sure that many people with far more experience have written much clearer explanations of this pattern, but it's what I have seen so far.

Hell, I'd be wary of a $5 LED nightlight sold at Walgreens.
> When Las Vegas casinos come up with new ways to gamble is it called innovation?

Yes.

In my personal opinion the difference between gambling and investment isn't in terminology. It's about expect return. If your expected return is negative than it's gambling, if your expected return is positive it's investment.
I hope this fixes Calendar syncing on iPad over MobileMe.
I totally agree. I recently moved to LA for a job. A couple of months before moving I had bought a nice road bike. Even though I live 2.5 miles from work now, that road bike still sits in my closet every day. I would love to ride it to work, but LA doesn't even have enough lanes to support both driving and parking, let alone biking. The roads are full of traffic and impatient drivers and I value my life too much to risk riding my bike on the couple feet of shoulder that might exist on those roads.
Yes, I think most people would agree that creating a record of as many languages as possible before they die out is a good idea.
Thanks! Also, depending on your skill set/free time/inclination, I'd always love another pair of hands, or eyes, or anything else you can spare. We can always use more people raising issues to us on GitHub, or—even better—pull requests: https://github.com/onebusaway/onebusaway-iphone
Let's explore that idea, what if a god exists... A god that designed us for a single purpose...

Why would a god that needed us to fulfil a singular purpose give us the power to choose to not fulfil that purpose? Why would a god choose a purpose and then not clearly communicate that purpose? Why would a god give us the capacity for reflection and awareness, allowing us to derive our own meanings, if none of those meanings were valid?

What would a single meaning of life even look like? Let's take a guess and say that love is the meaning of life. That would mean the only point of life was love. All the other experiences? Meaningless. Says who? Who says they're meaningless?

"A meaning" is like "a sock". There is only one true sock, all other socks are false, only those that have this sock can truly know what a sock is, etc... You're trying to condense a potentially infinite group to a single example.

As for the whole "beneficial to us" thing, in what sense? The whole "life after death" thing? Something else?
Well, not the company, but you should feel at least, sorry for the driver.

Uber's drivers also pay for licenses, insurance and fee, also, they pay their taxes; in every one of their rides a tax-deductable receipt is made and sent automatically to your email. Just try that with the taxi.

Also, the cars are better, the people are nicer, you don't have to carry cash to pay, and the fees are better. Here in Mexico the illegal taxis (pirate taxis) are a very serious crime. The government wouldn't have let Uber entering if they thought it would be like the illegal taxis.
So, it's not as it's a dude with a car and that's it. It's regularized.
Given the population and size of the United Kingdom (64,100,000 in 2013, over 94,060 sq mi, for an average density of 661.9/sq mi), or California (38,802,500 in 2014, over 163,696 sq mi, av. density 246/sq mi), I'm not sure I'm inclined to agree that the US (320,206,000 people in 3,531,905.43 sq mi, av. 88.6/sq mi) has quite that modest a sensible capacity.

Of course, not every square mile is equal - water is a vital component that's set to become a very pressing topic in interstate negotiations in the coming decades.
Not all pro porn requires age checks. That made in the US certainly does, but the requirement isnt universal. Nor is the definition of porn. Many european "art" websites (nudes, generally no sex acts) are not pornographic and feel no need to maintain such records. Playboy would probably not be considered "porn" in many jurisdictions, at least in terms of production. What it is when found on your hard drive while sitting in the US is another matter.
Firing a team member for a team mistake is micromanagement.
How does one treat chronic anxiety?

Xanax has a miracle reputation but like all other benzos it is said to only works temporarily as a hotfix, then you build up tolerance and you go back to your baseline Pre Xanax (or worse).
What is very frustrating about such explanations is that I can't tell if it exactly put you back to your pre Xanax era or if after tolerance builds up (for a same dose) you are better than before, just slightly better. If so that would make Xanax slightly useful for long term treatment.

There are also SSRIs but it feels wrong to take SSRIs for someone that just has ADHD and anxiety, not depression.

There are anxyolitics e.g l-theanine pills, ashwaganda, etc
Those don't seems to work (on me) and more importantly don't work for a whole day, just a few hours max.

What else?

Children in the West today already spend more time with parents than at any point in the past:

https://news.uci.edu/2016/09/28/todays-parents-spend-more-ti...

Quality time with parents is important, of course, but we have become so focused on parental time that children are sacrificing solo time where they learn independence and initiative, and peer time where they learn to create their own identity and cooperate. Also, this places an unsustainable burden on parents who are expected to work full time as well as be parent, teacher, playmate, and cruise director for their kids.
I can see a future where office work is so rare that it's considered to be a major benefit only afforded by large corporations.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, here Dalia. I have not heard a first person account like yours from Gaza before. The news we see from Gaza in Australia is almost exclusively bleak - a never ending tale of injustices, deprivation, losses, and endurance. Your story is a wonderful counterpoint that lifts my feelings.

Congratulations for being recognised as a capable engineer by two organisations that you hold in high regard. In addition to your engineering aptitude, it sounds like you know how to direct yourself and to connect with your poise in professional circumstances that some other talented engineers might find trying. These capabilities are rare and valued, because they distinguish you as someone who can join a group and move it forward.

Please keep posting here at HN from time to time. I wish you happiness and satisfaction, and look forward to hearing how you get on with whatever you choose to work at and discover.
I'm very very glad that it isn't.
For myself, the risk SIDS didn't even enter my calculus. (I confess I am a little skeptical that it exists at all.)

Regardless, I perceived the emotional bonding with the mother & father to far outweigh anything else and so we shared our bed with our children until they were perhaps 1 year old or so. And even after, they moved into their own small bed just a foot from ours in the same bedroom for another year or so.

I guess that was my "instinct". Although we received a crib as a gift, it just sat in another room, empty.
> The little players not having data is a win in my eyes, because those are more likely to get breached or sell data to the highest bidder.

I somewhat agree with everything but the above. I’ve looked at data on thousands of breaches and have found that size of organization isn’t really correlated with “having better security”.
What do you mean by homesteading lifestyle?

If you’ve made decent money and you don’t have an active in-person social life, it’s easy enough to move to the countryside and drive into town every 1-2 weeks for groceries. Gets kind of old after a while to be so isolated. Tip: Buy an existing house before trying to build.

On the other hand, if you’re dreaming of living off the land, unplugging from the internet or even utilities, that’s probably best left to daydreams. It’s a common fantasy, but it’s far more work and manual labor than most people imagine.

I’d suggest getting into a weekend camping routine a couple times a month on the property before you do anything more expensive. Decide if you really like being so far away and having to prepare so much. Build a yurt or tiny house if you must. Start slow.
Looks like a reasonably useful resource but there's no where there he can call to get the service I just described.
Any reputable broker will let you trade after hours (ETrade, TD, etc.)

The one distinguishing feature (in theory) of digital twins is it is supposed to be such a hyper accurate model that it can be used to predict absolutely anything about the system in question. No changing of model setup, it's a "perfect" representation.

The down side is everything explodes exponentially - setup time, mesh count, solve time; and we usually get worse results than more focused simulations because we can't squeeze enough detail in across the board.

It generally starts because some manager hears that we've created 8 different specialized models of something due to different areas of interest, and has the bright idea of "lets just create a single super-accurate model we can use for everything". I've been fighting against them my entire career, although 10 years ago it was "virtual mockups"

The next buzzword in the pipeline seems to be "virtual lab" which I can't figure out either. I've been simulating laboratory tests for over a decade and no one can explain to me why that isn't exactly what we're already doing.

None of this is to say that this team isn't doing great work, but somewhere along the way it got wrapped up in some marketing nonsense.

Edit: Restructured my reply to better address OPs question.
