Wow, thanks for that interesting insight into the telco side of firmware upgrade delays.

I humbly submit that the carriers could avoid a lot of ill-will if there was more transparency in that process. I hope there aren't contractual obligations in place preventing that because it really changes the way I personally see the problem.

One of the cool aspects of this demo is that it is open source. Not many demos are, in fact, most are not. Some technical aspects are revealed in talks and workshops, but rarely the source is given.

The music is done with a shader, which is in itself insane.

Given that the reddits initially had a bad idea, wouldn't this mean that if they applied today with a similarly bad idea, you'd have rejected them and not called them back?

I am currently using an original 2008 Macbook Unibody as my work machine. I bought a 2011 i5 Macbook Pro last weekend, but I ended up returning it. Instead, I bought a 2010 Macbook Pro. It will support my 256GB Crucial SSD and two 1920x1080 27" monitors and will be my new work machine.
Assuming you are talking about the Tim Ferris 4 hour workweek (http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/) then yes, but that's not really the problem. The problem is the unreliability of the pay when you work for yourself.
Have you measured the battery life difference? I'm pretty sure each lit key has a fibre optic lead, with all the keys going to a single white LED. That should be a draw of about 120mW, which is pretty tiny compared with the couple of watts the rest of the computer is drawing.

I pretty much love my current laptop, but I still do miss the backlit keys of my old powerbook.

Especially on HN, i would expect people to point out that spending valuable time on X, is as irrational as spending money on X.

I've tried making PDFs of interesting webpages before, for personal archiving, using various PDF printers for Windows. I always ended up with files that looked weird and not at all like the webpage.

I eventually found a FF extension that would save pages perfectly as a JPG or PNG but then the text was no longer selectable or searchable.
From the Secunia blog entry on the incident, cited in the original article:

Our preliminary investigations have been concluded. We've been
working with our registrar provider, DirectNIC, to identify the
cause of the incident, during which we've learned that other
DirectNIC customers were affected by yesterdays attack and
they all suffered a temporary redirection of traffic.

Sounds like someone took control of the registrar's systems, rather than specifically targeting Secunia.
I think what people are failing to understand is that, you know, someone MAKES these things. They're not just farted out of thin air. A junior editor sifts through hundreds of submissions and passes it onto an actual editor, who passes it onto another, and then it passes to a third and if all four people liked it then they'll make an offer to buy it. Then it goes through several rounds of being edited, then finally it's proof read, then it passes through a typesetter who arranges text spacing, etc. to ensure they're not getting widows on pages (this applies to eBooks too!).

I made a post of this a while ago that hit big after last time a wholly ignorant post like this was made by someone not trying to comprehend the business they're complaining about. http://nikgregory.com/2010/02/of-amazon-and-ebooks/
Exactly. Disclosure is best.
The URL is not the same. In the other submission Dropbox was still called getdrobox.com
So a $30,000 car (or less if bought used) when you make $120k is living outside your means? If you have no debt and you have the ability to buy the car cash or pay it off within 1-2 years, how exactly is this bad- especially since you'd enjoy it? Sure, the boring thing to do would be to put all the money in savings... but if you think a 30k is outside your means, then you're probably so cheap you don't take vacations
Hey. Apologies for the bad UX here. You are currently seeing the unmatched screen. The reason for this is most likely that your desired location does not match that of the position. I'll have a look into it though to confirm whether this is the case. If you want to get back to me so we can talk about it more then email me at gordon[at]workshape.io.

In the future we will be updating the experience for users who do not get matches according to their profile. We currently show the closest matches, which I can imagine being frustrating. Instead we are thinking of surfacing insights from our data set based on your input. So, similar to this article, we'd give insights relevant to you about opportunities in the area.
I've been using TypeMatrix 2030[1] for about four years. While not a mechanical keyboard, it still feels much like it.
Together with the Programmer Dvorak[2] keyboard layout, I cannot really think of a better "code keyboard".

I recently asked for (and was awarded) a raise. I have weekly 1-on-1's with my boss (CEO) - they usually go for about an hour & we simply talk about everything happening in the business/team.

At the end, I simply said 'Something I want to bring up is that I've looked at the market and I don't feel I am being paid adequately for the value I'm creating'. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't an awkward conversation. I didn't mention any number at all & was actually met with a slightly negative response, but a week later at the next 1-on-1, it was brought up again & I was awarded a 10% cash raise (I negotiated some ISO's too).

In your scenario, I wouldn't tell them that you interviewed at a competitor either. You can simply tell them that you've looked at other roles & determined market rate as being higher than what you're currently paid. Only use another offer as leverage if you are prepared to leave & take that offer.

Modesty aside, I'll also admit that I'm a high performer in our team & so I already knew that I had leverage. Something I've learned though is that unless you bring it up, it's never going to happen - there is no-one looking out for you unfortunately, so take the initiative & help yourself where you can - it equates to hundreds of thousands of dollars over your career.
They argued about the exact numbers but they did by no means show that the argument is invalid. Bitcoin has no important advantages over credit cards or PayPal, besides the claimed low transaction costs. And this argument is not true, not now and it is not obvious that it will become true in the future.
They have had PDO since nearly ten years now and are just now thinking about removing the worst of the other two worse DB APIs they put in the standard library. Instead of deprecating they were busy copying every language construct they could find. Even if you want to stay backwards compatible, what is so hard about deprecating it and moving the dangerous feature out of the standard library into a module after 2 years?

I give them, that they are slowly changing now (probably because they can not come up with further constructs), but for a while they still deserve the rants.
Brazil's not that oppressive outside, although Manaus in particular is. São Paulo sits at 6-700 m AMSL. Brasilia is around 1200m. It helps.
I can't say I've ever been through a proper code review. I've watched a few on YouTube, but they seem kinda simplistic. Are there any good resources for shops that don't have existing code review experience?
I wonder why team.archive.org wasn't used.
Yea, I know. It bioaccumulates. I was telling you that's the mechanism of action for vitamin retention, not whatever you thought about your body saving some for later.

TLDR: This can happen, but is not done much in practice.

Most vendors use pretty similar build toolchains in order to maintain platform support baselines. Typically any improvements get made at OpenJDK and then filter back down to downstream distributions.

One of the things we're looking to do is to add Metadata to the release to make the exact toolchain transparent going forward.
I don't see why not, the other way is more difficult as a PDF might only have the part of the font it uses embedded.
What agreement they had with facebook I am unaware of. But facebook seemed to treat them as public.

Facebook and access have always been confusing and this is setup on purpose. Some photos show up in feeds some are available to other group members. Photos you think are private are private until someone else you know is tagged in them.
GPGPU will never really be able to take over CPU-based SIMD.

GPUs have far more bandwidth, but CPUs beat them in latency. Being able to AVX512 your L1 cached data for a memcpy will always be superior to passing data to the GPU.

With Ice Lake's 1MB L2 cache, pretty much all tasks smaller than 1MB will be superior in AVX512 rather than sending it to a GPU. Sorting 250,000 Float32 elements? Better to SIMD Bitonic sort / SIMD Mergepath (https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~amenta/f15/GPUmp.pdf) on your AVX512 rather than spend a 5us PCIe 4.0 traversal to the GPU.

It is better to keep the data hot in your L2 / L3 cache, rather than pipe it to a remote computer (even if the 16x PCIe 4.0 pipe is 32GB/s and the HBM2 RAM is high bandwidth once it gets there).

--------

But similarly: CPU SIMD can never compete against GPGPUs at what they do. GPUs have access to 8GBs @500GB/s VRAM on the low-end and 40GBs @1000GB/s on the high end (NVidia's A100). EDIT: Some responses have reminded me about the 80GB @ 2000GB/s models NVidia recently released.

CPUs barely scratch 200GB/s on the high end, since DDR4 is just slower than GPU-RAM. For any problem where data-bandwidth and parallelism is the bottleneck, that fits inside of GPU-VRAM (such as many-many sequences of large scale matrix multiplications), it will pretty much always be better to compute that sort of thing on a GPU.
I wouldn't have stood up and said that, unless the tests were identical (i.e., questions were in the same order, with the same pagination, same ordering of the multiple choice answers, etc.). Even if some questions were identical, if I had not endured an experience like yours, there is nothing about the situation that would suggest to me that what was happening was ethically murky.
It was an existing trend accelerated by the recession. An excess of stuff is no longer fashionable. Hopefully it lasts awhile (the fashion, not the recession).
I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank Americans for the "I'm gonna sue you!" culture that's slowly seeping into the UK.
The updates to the market were outlined in the emails that were sent out. They included sorely needed elements such as version update notes and more promotional information such as app promo text and graphics. Really though, these seem like changes that should have been implemented a long time ago. I'm waiting for the update where they follow through on the promises of the 2010 google IO.
I have a friend who was recently banned for a couple of days. She said that "a bug that randomly affected some female users" was to blame, so maybe that's it. The best advice I can give is to try support@facebook.com

Sadly, it wasn't accepted into the 10K Apart contest, because I was using a small proxy script to grab the content of files for the code/diff view. I could have disabled the feature to re-submit, but I didn't want to have a crippled version out so in the end, I did not resubmit to the 10K apart contest. I had one hell of a time coding it up though. It was a lot of fun.
pavs, that was a very interesting set of suggestions. are you interested in this space? if so, would love to get in touch as I am thinking of doing something in it for my next venture.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, you have some great points. I used 'Airbnb' because I figured most of you guys are familiar with it and it would get my concept across quicker. I don't see my site as competition to them.

Back in 2004 I was able to help one homeowner rent their home through a travel agency so I definitely think there is a market in this event niche but I'll have to keep pushing forward to see how big it actually may be. The feedback from homeowners since launch has been pretty positive so I remain optimistic.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the site to load? I've asked a few friends in different locations and they did not have any trouble loading it but I will continue to look into it.
The GPL is a political weapon, designed and built for a political purpose: to fight the venal and short-sighted policies of software producers (companies and developers.)

The "purpose of those restrictions" is the whole and entire point of the GPL. If you don't explain (to users or developers) why the GPL restricts distribution of code and future changes the way it does, well, you might as well just not mention it at all.
But there isn’t another character that anyone calls “hashtag”. It’s like if everyone nontech called “:” a “semicolon” only when it’s preceeded by “http”. There is something else called semicolon and its not the thing in the url.

Hey thank you very much. No login needed for submitting an issue. However follow up is handled differently:

Public repos: the reporter is given the link on successful submission, so to communicate further a GitHub account is required

Private repos: the reporter needs to supply an email (not shared with repo) which will be held by Issue Embed and handle communication from the issue to email (and visa-versa)

You can try a demo here: https://issueembed.dev/

If we could get cognitive radio going over SDRs, mesh networks using automatic frequency hops to the nearest radio whitespace would become drop-dead easy.

From there, the FCC could issue regulations to the tune of 'use any non-military band for up to X seconds, provided you confirm you are not interfering with any other traffic every Y milliseconds' and the entire licensing scheme of "radio bandwidth is a finite good" could be virtually eliminated. It would be like going from IPv4 to IPv6 in terms of total amounts of available IP addresses.
I quite like configuration written in Python. Clearly very different beast; but:

1. It’s not YAML (which I agree is dreadful after about 10 LOC)

2. You’re not fighting it. Want to condition the config on something? Just code that up, no need to introduce custom options etc.

3. A basic setup is barely more work than filling up a YAML file, it might even look like basically key=value kind of file.

4. Easier to structure. A big config file in YAML can only ever be a single large file. In Python/code, if you grow a big and complex config, you split it like you would with any regular code.

It is of course less safe to parse a config file than it is to read a YAML one (I guess?) but if you’re then running user code anyway then it probably is no additional security risk.

Clearly, can replace Python with any other language.
There's no reason to expect correlated tail risk other than due to macroeconomic factors. Diversification will take care of idiosyncratic volatility.
Any good references on BEIC and its army?
Your argument essentially boils down to "words in power mean what people in power say they mean". The entire point of law is to create distributed consensus. By morphing definitions away from their plain meanings, that entire basis of law is undermined.

Which is exactly what is happening here. In a just society, one is comforted by the belief that if they're stolen from, then the institutions of society will act against (or at least condemn) the perpetrator. In the modern US, the uniformed gangs act with little concern, and then legions of legal "scholars" compose reams of justification for how what occurred was "legitimate".

Either the justice system needs to be reformed and the uniformed thugs sent to jail, or the social contract continues to degrade and we end up with revolution and collapse.
Ah - not necessarily a self-executing file - a fatjar still depends on having the JVM installed on the box. I guess I was asking if there is a way of packaging an F# script or app so that it can be installed on a server with a simple wget from Bintray? So all dependencies vendored in.
Assume that the logical conclusion of robots doing people's job is that nobody will have a job. Since that means that nobody will eat (or buy the things that the robots are making), we will need to at some point separate the acts of earning money from doing work.

Put another way, we should aim for a world in which nobody works, as the robots are doing all the work.
Hey, thanks man! Heh, you'd technically need StatusPage.io for your StatusPage.io subscription ;)

But yes, I'd advise you run it on a separate server.
>Even though they 'stopped' using these chemicals in manufacturing 10-15 years ago

Citation needed. PFCs are EVERYWHERE, in TODAY's products. Everything from water-resistant workout pants, to your Chipotle burrito bowl container, to teflon-coated pasta extruders used in food manufacturing (which you cannot examine the way you can a non-stick pan to see whether it's degraded or not) to Glide dental floss that you put in your mouth daily.

You won't find PFCs on the label of any of these examples, either. But they're there.
As much as Blazek acted completely out of line, I applaud her for making a real apology:

"I sincerely apologize for the harsh words and unprofessional, unwarranted actions in my response to you... I should have lent a hand, as well as hope, and I failed at that. You and many others, both strangers and colleagues, have reminded me that my personal journey in humility and gentleness is far from complete. I wish you all the best in your job search. Respectfully, Kelly Blazek," [0]

It's not one of those lame "I'm sorry if you were offended" or "I used the wrong choice of words" non-apologies, which are all too common these days.

From what I can work out from David Graeber's book "Debt," that approach is the way the economy used to function before money was invented - a trail of mutual help and obligation.

Given that their noflash page tell you to go download flash version 7 and the source code of tazo.com says © 1999-2004 I think we can safely assume that no one at Tazo has seriously looked over their website for many years, and it obviously plays zero role in their sales and marketing strategy. By the looks of things they're focusing on their facebook page rather than their website as their main online presence.
And yet, Tumblr is better than Posterous.

I know this is subjective, but my point is: maybe the use of email in Posterous appeals to you, but it never appealed to me.
Despite knowing only two people with iPhones (brother and flatmate) and nearly a dozen with other smartphones, it still amazes me how 95% of the phones I see on the Tube are iPhones. London is more affluent than the rest of the country, however.
I don't think it got as much popularity in its day as R does now, but it was popular to a degree. But that was also because at the time it was pretty much the only free statistics programming environment -- at the time the choice was either xlispstat or pay for a licence for S-PLUS, SAS, or the like.
I would not want anyone using Brave because they blindly trust me. On the other hand, you libeling Brave without any evidence (to avoid rehashing, onlookers should see https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1360780527100338177 and do their own research) reflects poorly only on you.
Moreover, that these media companies are not able to make profitable revenue by conveying factual news reports. They have a growing footprint through the consolidation and influence the public discourse and keep it focused on (seemingly) the most inflammatory topics, statements and events in order to drive clicks, views, likes & shares.

Hence, they've devolved into entertainment while the public at large still perceives them as news sources. I am sure this has been going on to some degree for centuries. More than consolidation, the unprecedented reach to now 5 billion humans actually should be concerning enough to raise a hue and cry for oversight.

Did he call the neo-Nazi's and white supremacists fine people? Did Biden launch his campaign on that claim? How can our news sources call themselves news when a few seconds of research (literally) can show such an inflammatory claim as false?

This has to stop.
Kafka is a log, not a queue. They have every so slightly different semantics, but logs have HOL blocking per partition for processing messages because they use a watermark, compared to queues, which track on a per-message basis.
What I mean by that is that Stalin-descended (or maybe it should say "Marx-descended") ideology is, by the raw death toll numbers, FAR worse than the Nazis (who were also unbelievably bad, just to be completely clear).

I use the phrase "ten holocausts" because it's catchy, memorable, and it sticks in the mind (this is UNBELIEVABLY important. I need people to remember).

It's (very roughly) true. Hitler killed ~11ish million, Communist governments have killed ~100ish million and are still going strong in multiple countries. Yet, nobody cares about the resentment-based ideology that leads to it being drilled into the minds of young people in so many western universities.

CloudFlare one is giving me less than 1/3 the download speed fast.com shows, and in fact, testing by downloading a Linux ISO [1], the latter seems to be the correct one. I don't know what CloudFlare's test is doing (their server is geographically nearby) but I obviously can't trust their measurement.
