"In view of the sobering findings of science, theology and to a lesser degree metaphysics is confronted with a
humiliating loss, and a need for reinterpretation, of allegories and narratives which have served as guidance to
the perplexed for millennia. Future revolutions of world perception might include the emergence of conscious-
ness and superhuman artificial intelligence from universal computation, extensive virtual reality simulations,
the persistence of claims of irreducible chance in the Universe, as well as contacts with alien species and the
abundance of inhabited planets. As tragic and as discomforting as this might be perceived for the religious
orthodoxy and by individual believers, a theology guided by science may lead us to a better and more adequate
understanding of our existence. The post factum theological options are plentiful. These include dualistic sce-
narios, as well as (to quote Kelly James Clark), a curling or bowling deity, that is, creatio continua, or ex nihilo.
These might be grounded in, or corroborated by the metaphysical enigma of existence, which appears to be immune and robust with respect to the aforementioned challenges of science."
Currently we only support AWS—though we're working on supporting GCP as soon as possible. What platform are you using now?
And the current fix for this is something like Facebook which I'd also hate.

Maybe what we need is a Kevin-Bacon-degrees-of-separation style system. I can review something and my 'friends' can see it's me. Friends of friends can see someone just outside their circle bought it (maybe they can ask their friend for further info). And strangers get the usual 'Trent from London' with no further info.
I have one with Green switches and I love it.

I took out the o-rings because they made it too gummy. It was very stiff for a bit when I did that, but I got used to it and now I can play games of CS:GO and code on it just fine.

I recommend it, it's simple, small and feels solid.
> The Baltimore investigation resulted in an indictment of Mr. Ulbricht on a charge of murder for hire, but that case has remained pending and the evidence in support of it was kept out of the New York trial, apparently because of the investigation into the agents.

They were part of a separate case against Ulbricht. The one he was convicted on wasn't based on their evidence and/or testimony.
While I believe Obama was born in the US, it's interesting that you can become President of the US without having to show a birth certificate, but you can't leave the country without producing one. Doubly interesting because the Constitution specifically requires the President to be US-born, but says nothing about passports.
Funny thing is that, especially early, Facebook didn't require particularly good programming skills. But it did have a much better and more professional, less sleazy (MySpace) or nerdy (LiveJournal) -looking UI than it's competitors/progenitors did. And then grew in a very intelligent and calculated away (Harvard first, then other Ivy League, then other colleges, etc.; and refusing to commercialize the experience too early). All of that really had nothing to do with the quality of the code or the main coder behind it (Zuck). Quality of the designer (arguably, especially early on: Zuck) and strategic direction (Zuck again?), but not of the hacking.
I thought yahoo email was pretty good, and yahoo finance is probably still the best of the choices out there. But totally agree that a lot of things went to Y to die
I've written to NPR previously about errors that I've found in their presentation of clinical trials and invariably they respond with, "Well, this is our interpretation." Nevermind that said interpretation would get them laughed off of the wards at any teaching hospital. Not saying that about the current article--merely pointing out that even NPR gets it egregiously wrong sometimes.
IMHO, the early Facebook was much better designed for one purpose (flirting and hooking up with members of the opposite sex), the current version is decently designed for multiple purposes (online identity, social games, etc...)
What is the point of "X-" prefixes? To make it clear that the thing in question is implementation specific and should not be relied on if you want it to work on all implementations.

Should "X-" things be created? Yes. If the people creating new implementations can't be bothered to make their changes official, or what those things does changes, then they use "X-". You should assume "X-" means "don't use this".

Why do the "X-" things persist and get implemented by everyone eventually? Because bureaucracy and standards groups suck and don't keep up with the times.

What does a standard group saying "don't use X-" mean? It is just a lame attempt by the group to stop people from doing things they aren't informed of or in charge of.

Guess what IETF: The people who care that you said this don't create "X-" things for the most part. The people who do are just going to ignore this.
I'm sure this an an exception to the rule. The housing market in Southern California is crazy overpriced based upon current wages.
Then this article is simply preaching to a choir here. Perhaps it should be posted somewhere where more common people frequent so that their minds may be blown a bit, if they actually manage to read the article that is.
One of the ideas of data-oriented design (of which ECS is ostensibly associated with) is that data storage and application logic should be decoupled. E.g. your logic may be organized as an object-oriented "scene graph" or whatever which under the hood transparently queries data from (say) a columnar store.

It's not clear from the article how Godot entities are organized in memory or if there is even is an abstraction layer between logic and data.
To be fair sometimes people hyper focus on refactoring rather than fixing business problems, which isnt really helpful either, have to find a decent middle ground.
It shouldn't be usual. Temps don't get unsupervised access to sensitive systems. Too much risk of abuse and misuse from short-term less mature employees.
Exactly. What a jerk right?

If you need a cheap economy car OR travel extreme distances every day OR if you routinely drive at speeds in excess of 150km/h (90mph) OR if you are unable to charge at home, then electric is probably not going to be for you any time soon. But for everyone else, electric wins your categories.

Charging time: ICE cars take about 5 to 10 minutes to detour to a fuelling station. Electric cars take about 5 to 10 seconds to plug in when you arrive at home.

Power-to-weight: Due to instant torque, most modern electric cars feel a lot faster than their numbers suggest. But sure, if you're in the market for an MX-5, pure electric isn't for you.

Cost: You care about power-to-weight so you're clearly not interested in economy cars. If you want high performance and good range, Tesla models tend to be excellent value relative to their 0–100 times. For most people, cost is still quite high, but this is a relatively short-term problem which will solve itself as manufacturing capacity scales up.

Range: Unlike ICE cars, you wake up every morning with a 'full' electric car. The latest models from VW, Tesla etc have ample range for most people. Unless you spend more than half your day on the road, this isn't a concern.
Microsoft does it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
Imagine a TV that must be connected to the internet at all times being hacked so that it only plays educational videos about the evils of Smart TV's 24/7.
On the contrary, What is a reasonable cost/car overhead at scale for the following:

1) email + snail mail registration reminder
2) accept digital payments
3) maintain database of registered vehicles
I wish this comment was banned from HN. Every time someone says that some free software is in any way flawed there's always the completely useless reply "well did you file a bug?" or even worse "it's open source - why didn't you fix it?"

I'd hope it's obvious why these comments are bad, but I guess not so:

* Not everyone has time to fix a bug or even file one.

* The ability to fix or file bugs doesn't mean that the bugs don't exist!

* The ability to fix or file bugs doesn't mean that one shouldn't talk about the bugs.

* The possibility of fixing a bug doesn't help if you don't have the time or ability to fix it and actually want to use the software.

* Not everyone is able to fix all bugs

* It's not nearly as easy for people outside a project to fix bugs as it is for people familiar with the code.

* Everyone already knows it is possible to file and fix bugs in open source software so you're not adding anything to the conversation.
Really it's meant to solve the fragmentation that already exists. Cisco developed the standard, but it's completely open.

I believe Cisco is the only large vendor that's implemented it, but there are Linux and BSD implementations, which should make it easy for any Linux or BSD based NOS to implement it in the future.

Honestly this problem will probably be mostly solved in hardware with larger FIBs/TCAMs

Edit - I should clarify the problem I'm referring to here is fragmentation, not exhaustion.
One reason could be because almost nobody makes minimum wage.

In 2017 just over 2% of workers made the minimum wage. When you only look at full time employees, it's less than 1%. When you include only people over 25 it's even less.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2017/home.htm

It's interesting how few people know this. When you ask people to guess what percent of people make the minimum wage, you'll likely hear estimates that are 10x or 20x higher than they really are.
So I've read each of these threads. Seems like you were engaged in particularily divisive topics with those that have strongly held beliefs. For what it's worth, I found your thoughts to be the more reasonable stance.
I run LO on this laptop under Linux. I've just opened the member's table which has 74,853 records in it. It's a 54.8MiB FoxPro database and took about 10 seconds to import. I've put an auto filter on the whole thing and a search for France took blink. I created a pivot table in seconds showing counts of sex by citizenship (roughly 10% of UK climbers are women.)

This is a fairly beefy machine but over two years old so nothing particularly special nowadays.
If medical costs increase more than the amount of general inflation's effect on both medical costs and the rest of wages, than covering those increasing costs while holding the rest of wages constant is a wage increase.

If you don't like that, it's a social issue and a policy question, but it's not evidence what wage (how much employer is paying for employee benefits) is stagnant or droppiing.
wow, not sure if you just had a lot of bad luck or what... I downloaded both Uber and Lyft, signed up for them just to check them out, but not in this area... but useful if I ever traveled somewhere. Which at some point I'd like to be able to go on a solo trip a year. I heard bad things about Uber though in the news, but not sure how much it differs since i'm sure Taxi drivers do bad things too... but I think since Uber is the new upstart, it's easy to pick on them more.

I have heard of not speaking English too, was watching a cruise vlog someone did from Miami, she commented on that fact. Probably awkward, but I guess if you want to be a world traveler got to figure out the language barrier.

Checked out your blog post. Also interesting about pride, very popular there so not surprised it's mess. "move along, KEEP MOVING", surprised the police didn't want to help with directions, but probably a huge crowd? so trying to control the crowd maybe? hmm. I know there's reports that the police in SF don't even investigate car break ins anymore either, so not sure what their job is anymore. Needles and poop part I hear a lot about sadly though. It seems like the entire west coast is going down hill. In Seattle the local news station KOMO did a special called "Seattle is dying". Also not sure if people running around Naked is normal, but maybe doing it just because of pride? Kinda surprised they tolerate that, I think if I started running around nude here I'd be arrested and probably sent for a mental evaluation.

I used to want to go out west because of tech, but I've woken up a lot more about the realities. The housing costs, high crime, high taxes. I kinda change my mind a bunch of where I want to live though, I think working remotely being a digital nomad would be nice or retire early if got lucky from creating something successful... So much to explore around the US and world. Want to do a bit of cruising and international travel, RV around the US, plus I feel like RVing would be cheaper than exploring the globe so more long term. And it's basically a home on wheels. There's parts out west though I think would be nice to vacation, but not a place to live. Like you see Seattle on TV growing up on TV shows and movies so be nice to sightsee. Same with some of the places in California.

Spend summers exploring more north, spend winters in the sunbelt. But if that dream doesn't happen yet, my other goal is to go somewhere warmer and nicer like FL or TX. But it seems like Austin is growing, and starting to have some of the same problems as SF... Austin is warmer too than here but still some days it gets cold it looks. Tech is growing in Miami too. Orlando would be another spot, plus could get an annual pass to Disney! Some people are happy if they get to go once in their life, imagine being able to go almost every day! Some people with passes living near by will just go only for dinner and maybe ride one ride or two. One of my goals with the RV dream is to spend probably at least a month in Orlando during the winters, but there's other spots in FL to explore. Galveston, TX and Quartzsite, AZ are some other winter destinations that seem popular.
Cocoa powder is just fat and carbs with basically no other nutritional content but it's not really any worse for you than other sources of the same thing.

The milk is probably the most nutritionally rich thing in your average chocolate bar.
I don’t know about the american law, but in polish we have a concept called „public promise”. If a company promises to the public that they will do something, it will be legally binding and they can be sued if they don’t fulfill the promise.

For example, if a company says that they will give a prize to the first person who collects a 1000 bottle caps, the first person that does that can sue the company if it backtracks. Even if there was no agreement between the conoany and the person beforehand.

We used it for tokenising real world assets. The entity doing ITO behind the asset made a public promise to give the asset to a person chosen by the contract under certain conditions. Even though the person was not known in advance, they would have the right to sue the company if they didn’t fulfill the promise.
I honestly never paid any attention to the law, but I really don't understand how it would be feasible to treat Uber drivers as W4 employees in the first place.

What other sort of W4 job lets you chose both how many and which hours you want to work, and let you skip any assignments you don't want to complete? That honestly is so totally backwards to even how part time jobs work that I'm not convinced it would be viable.
And humans can't be hacked?
That seems pretty short sighted
Btw, in other countries that use sectoral bargaining systems this law wouldn't stop unionization, because the union contract applies across the industry rather than one company at a time. This makes it more impersonal, but companies are no longer motivated to stop unions because they'll become less competitive, and it works well enough in places like Denmark that they don't have minimum wage laws.
Got a question for you -

I'm making a chat bot thing (https://www.brian.bot/) and have added socket-based web chat... but I don't even know how to phrase the question of "how do I horizontally scale the socket connections".

Webchat <-> Server <-> Slack. Once I have more than one server dyno (heroku), then I can't ensure that the Slack event hits the dyno with the corresponding socket connection.

Thoughts / tips?
Do you plan to support firebase cloud functions or Google cloud functions?
How many dongles can one install simultaneously? I see only 2 in the video. Are there more on the other side?
Then more people will just use decentralized finance.
You can with card counting (and you'll get kicked out). Even with perfect rational betting the house has the edge.
In which either "work" is being done for "wages", or "no work" is being done for "wages".

There really isn't a way out of it. The first is isomorphic to what we have, the second utterly fails as an economic system.

The third alternative is to break wages, but as money is already essentially as powerful as it can be, all you can do is break its power down, and that's just "company scrip" again, which most people consider not so much a good thing.

TANSTAAFL.

Contract working isn't an out, either. Either we have the opportunity to do contracts already and some of us choose to work for wages, in which case we are not wage slaves because we have chosen it and you lose the right to complain about how we are wage slaves, or contract workers are themselves just disguised wage slaves. Either way, contracts can not be a solution to a problem we currently have; either we do not have the problem, or contracts are not the solution.
Liberals like you are destroying our country.

Sorry about that, I think I fixed it. My english is not as good as it should indeed. You can see I "translated" valorizing straight from French there...
She actually talked about leaving twitter in a tapped discussion between her and Gary V, sadly I don't have the link handy.
It's around 350 people at the moment, on every continent but Antarctica. I suspect that the talent pool of English speakers is larger than that of Esperanto speakers and that they didn't want to add an additional burden to the hiring process by asking people to learn another language. In fact, we have an internal list of who speaks what languages and there are only two of us listing Esperanto, and neither of us is fluent. (Though I could probably be there in 1-2 weeks of serious effort.)

Mi ne aktivas en multaj Esperantistaj forumoj... mi ne kredas ke mian Esperanton estas sufiĉa bona. :) Sed oni kapablas kontakti min ĉe launchpad.net. Mi estas 'fader' tie ankaŭ.
Obviously, unsubscribing is more polite.

That said, maybe GMail and friends could add a button based on a List-unsubscribe header?
I agree with what you're saying about the selection, but I have to disagree with Mark Zuckerberg being the most influential person in 2010 with regards to world events. Sure, Facebook is a huge company, and is still growing. Mark Zuckerberg has grown considerably as a leader (his recent interview with Jessica at Startup School was proof enough). But Facebook doesn't shape cultures, advance technology [1] or help solve some of the pressing problems of the world. In the end, people do need to connect to eachother, and facebook lets you do that - but the 10.000ft view is just a status/photo/updates sharing site. Mark set that in motion, but does that make him POTY? Maybe we need more people trying to make real impact.

[1] it does - I know - just not as much as certainly other things do
Ah good catch. That detail isn't apparent from the interview. See this paper for more: https://www.usenix.org/events/vee05/full_papers/p46-click.pd.... Basically, references contain flags that indicate whether the GC thread has already visited that reference. When the read-barrier traps, the handler checks the flag. If the reference has been visited already, fine. If not, it gets added to the GC thread's queue of objects to visit. Then the program marks the reference as visited, and continues. New objects are always marked visited, and aren't collected until the following GC cycle, so the current mark phase is guaranteed to complete.
Hmmm, they've never committed to a deadline or even tried to aim for a production release before this time, so it may turn out better than you'd expect
Windows is just inherently GUI-centric, if you force developers to use Windows they are naturally going to gravitate toward using GUI based tools because Windows command line is so crippled. Tools like Cygwin and Chocolatey are nice in a pinch but they just don't compare to being in a real UNIX environment.
A search engine that thinks, almost http://www2.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/sabl/2005/March...
I once had a major tech company tell me during negotiations that "you can't really put a price on free meals", which I thought was a truly absurd thing to say.
I get paid to program c, c++, java, python, and r (not necessarily in that order, with other languages as needed) and there's nothing inherently wrong with a 500 line method if that's what the problem calls for.

It's grounds for getting the stink-eye in code review, but to reject it out of hand is pure ideology.
Exactly. How do you imagine rotors generating lift when enclosed by a roof?
The main tenet of this blog post is that you should argue for your compensation based on the amount of value you add to the company.

That's nice in theory, but the techies' dilemma is that it's often difficult or impossible to put a hard number on the value they have added.

How many customers were retained because you decreased response times by 100ms? How many customers were gained because of that slick UI you created? How many discounts were not handed out because of downtime that wasn't suffered because of your cautious error handling and exemplary testing? How much money was saved because of that documentation you made that helped the new hire ramp up faster?

Even when you can put a hard number on work you've done, like decreasing hosting costs by $15k per month, isn't that why you're paid so handsomely already? How are you going to do that again next year? (Why haven't you done it already?) Wasn't it a group effort?

The reality is, you're basically going to get paid based upon what your employer has deemed everyone else in your position is earning, plus or minus some % based upon experience level, your reputation, and how badly the company needs the position filled. If you don't like that, time to go into management or sales.
What would those problems be?
Nim is nowhere near the maturity of OCaml, and everything I've seen about it has the whiff of zealotry. I'll wait until I see more nuanced talks about it, and an established ecosystem that doesn't rely on C libraries.
