I was wondering about that too. Perhaps the laser is powerful enough to be "self-cleaning" and blast through the soot.
That's rarely a realistic option if you use any Cocoa library code. autorelease is a pretty fundamental aspect of the Cocoa design.
Conde Naste will not let them hire more people. Obviously we know where the fault lies then.

We don't know what's going on so I think it's a bit unfair to speculate.

But is there any evidence that Reddit is profitable? Would having a more stable platform honestly have much of an impact on that? Server issues aside, they seem to be doing pretty well in terms of page views and user acquisition.
Everything new is interesting to me, that's the problem. I like building things too. So I'll think I need to make a go of being a programmer. Then two weeks later I'll doubt that and think, maybe I should be a builder / real estate developer? Pretty much everything interests me when it's new and challenging, but I'm not interested in being a master of anything.

It's a personal crisis...
Noted. What puzzles me is that this has not been sorted in all the years, without doing a complete ground up recreation...
> So what is the other interview question?

The question would be "how do you handle browsers that don't support flexbox?"

My answer would be to use Modernizr to detect lack of flexbox support and write some fallback styles.

If you're supporting an extremely higher than average percentage of users on IE 9, then it's worth basing decisions on this fact. Globally IE 9 accounts for 2.13% of usage and that number isn't going up.

There's no way to really learn this stuff other than to just start doing it. Just write fallback styles to support crappier browsers and remember that pixel-perfect designs across browsers was never a realistic goal.
As an interviewee: "This is what I've in my career. If you'd like to give me money then I can do those things for you."

As an interviewer: "Tell me what you've done in your career. We'd like to give you money to do those things for us."

That's all I really want or need for either side of the table.
>they've proven themselves unable to meet customer demand in a timely fashion

Well, that's a good thing, certainly better than the opposite.

>What makes them different from any other meal replacement shake vendor?

IMO, a focus on being a food replacement rather than a meal replacement.

A food replacement needs to have all your nutrition in one product. They don't care about taste.

Slimfast, as you suggested as a comparison, isn't meant as a 2,100 calorie/day food replacement. You'd have to drink ten 11oz cans to get that many calories and that would throw off the entire ratio of fat, carbs, protein, and nutrients per day.

In any case, soylent seems to have the right product/market fit.
Would it be possible to beam the "regular" screen to a Chromecast while using the phone as a touch pad / virtual keyboard?
Nobody has ever found a connection between baldness and stress or lifestyle choices.
> I'm a little scared that if things are allowed to continue, the NSA will get such deep level access to the web, that they will be able to censor information anywhere, in real time.

Instead of actively censoring or manipulating information, I imagine they could certainly just make it go away.

Let's say you an I are emailing or texting back and forward about a particular leak or topic, surely the NSA could make some of those emails/texts never be delivered, thus severing our line of communication. If they were picky about this, I would just think you never replied, not that someone was manipulating our communication channel.
It largely does not.
> In this case, the alligators and their eggs behave so differently from anything familiar (egg hatching to whatever the parent ate?!) that I find the cognitive burden increases to the point of giving up.

I imagine, in this case, it's because us adults are (a) trying to figure out what exactly (what computing concept) Bret is trying to explain while we come across each rule and (b) trying to find logical explanations for everything. Children are not burdened with these things, and I'm guessing would have no problem going along with eggs that hatch into whatever their parent ate.

Personally, I think it's really cool. Real-life play-testing definitely required though!
> They could pass a law that mandates stiff penalties for people who decline to provide their encryption password in the face of a warrant.

It's interesting though -- or scary, even -- that this would mean forgetting the password to an encrypted volume could land you in jail. You don't have the means to prove you're innocent (by providing the password and revealing the data), and because of this you're thrown in jail.

It doesn't seem fair to me. Basically, the authorities are saying "we claim you have illegal encrypted data on that disk". If you cannot prove to us that you don't, you're going to jail. The outcome of this is that even a suspicion can land you in jail. It's on you to prove you're innocent, not on the authorities to prove you're guilty.
Yes, and visual studio lets you drag your current line pointer at any line within a certain scope, so if the first part of your function does some set-up calculations, no need to rerun after changing, just set your current line pointer at the line below and voila!
If the previous owner chose not to order cable service, they would have no idea.

I have coax to and in my house. I've never ordered cable service so I have no idea if it works or is connected to anything. I have DSL service I'm happy with, and rabbit ears on my TV.
The great irony of Sam's bet is that, win or lose, the terms themselves prove a bubble mentality. Every one of the terms is focused on valuation, with no mention of revenue, much less profit or cash flow.

In the short term the valuation of a company is a popularity contest, in the long term it is a direct reflection of the discounted value of the cash one can expect to extract or reinvest. This is true for all investments, stocks, bonds, public, private, and even unicorns.

I have no idea if Sam wins this bet. It's quite possible that within the next five years enough of these companies are acquired at inflated prices to satisfy Sam's terms.

What I do know is when industry leaders start to use valuation itself as a metric to demonstrate that we are not in a bubble, without even the most casual mention of underlying fundamentals necessary to justify valuation, then we are in a bubble.
I'd recommend that they enjoy their name!
A more common scenario is non-editable 3D text for UI, HUD, infographics, etc. The core glyph layout, word wrapping and rendering is all the same, just without interaction.
How can you say Rust isn't fun to program in if you haven't used it?
I don't have a solution, but I would like to echo that I experience the problem almost daily. I don't use Tor for HN, but I do use it to access FB (which is restricted in my workplace) and – since the main reason I use FB is to get local news – I often encounter difficult CAPTCHAs when following a link to an external new site. I haven't detected a clear pattern either, except that my fail rate has gone up dramatically.
What about

If you are finding it difficult to stand for extended periods, consider getting your feet checked, and if you have already, using your prescribed orthotics (insoles/shoes/other supports) whilst standing.

When I come home, I routinely take my outdoor shoes off. I spent most of my time at home sitting at my desk, but last year I began to learn bass guitar. I found that standing to play for less than an hour was enough to wipe me out for the entire evening, with knock-on exhaustion until the next day.

I have pes cavovarus - a deformity of the feet characterised by high arches and inward turned heels. When I finally got orthotics and placed them into my outdoor shoes, walking suddenly became easier and instances of debilitating cramp reduced in frequency and severity.

Following my experiences with playing my bass, I placed a spare pair of orthotic insoles into my slippers. This was not something my medical team had suggested previously. Suddenly I found it less exhausting to stand for extended periods. The change was actually quite immediate and significant.

Flat arches are far more common than what I have, but I suspect the same concept still applies - and orthotics for flat arches are far more widely available to consumers!
The Go team seem to have focused on command line tools for now. This include tools for refactoring Go code. Of course it would be easier to start with Go if there were an IDE with refactoring and syntax check built-in but there are at least some tools created by the team and the Go users. I assume the tools will improve and that there might be support in other editors or IDEs if the usage of Go increases.

I also wish that Google or the IDE creators would build some of these tools but I don't see it as absolutely essential.
I just bought a Bekant adjustable desk from Ikea a couple of weeks ago and I can say I'm very happy with it! I wouldn't be able to stand all day through, but it feels so good to sit after an hour of standing and to stand after an hour of sitting. Would totally recommend it, although it's quite expensive.
Pretty sure its way above voat in terms of traffic, and now with admins purging the top /r/conspiracy mod they're moving there as well.

The .win ecosystem is trying to parallel reddit and its doing so much faster by pulling in high profile departures.
That makes no sense. Again, how can someone manipulate Bitcoin on Coinbase with Tether when Tether is NOT accepted?
Yeah this seems to be exactly what BitLocker was designed for.
It's important to have both sides: one side believes in baseless conspiracy theories and the other side lives in reality.
You'd be surprised that Trump supporters are outside the Republican realm. If you spent 5 minutes on TDW you'd see they hate most establishment Republicans. This isn't new either, it started with Ron Paul and then the Tea Party movement.

I'd say overall the majority on TDW are leaning more towards libertarian than conservative. Certain things like freedom of speech, 2nd amendment rights, limited government and spending are shared ideals. Other things like pro-marijuana, pro-life, Christianity are depicted and respected but differ between supporters and less popular then the ideals everyone agrees on.
It actually works on non-RTX cards too btw if you install the standalone RTX Voice app.

Really saving makes sense then in a contextual way of keeping some in case there is something you want. It gets across ideas of opportunity cost.
Newer versions of Z-Wave are encrypted for "secure" devices, which afaict is most of them. My door locks are all set up in secure mode, and in fact if they're not linked in secure mode they're read-only.
I subscribe to Apple News+. I can't speak for the newspapers because I never looked at those, but the magazines are page-for-page reproductions of the print magazines, though some are enhanced with hyperlinks and usable tables of contents.

So much entitlement...

I highly suspect your measurement of "too much entitlement" is a matter of your own jealousy.
Well, on average, it does give you more time, that is of better quality than chemotherapy.

When you see a character, it usually has an underlying representation an unsigned (or byte or array of bytes or int if that's your thing, with size depending on ASCII, Unicode, etc). In both UTF-8 and ASCII the character "1" has a value of decimal 49. If the language actually allows you to subtract a number from a character (or length-one string, depending on language semantics), which is dubious to allow anyways, the expected behavior should be to return 48, but that's really a code smell to even attempt that operation.

EDIT: Clarified last statement.
Diesel isn't a fuel type, it's an engine type. What we call "diesel fuel" is really just fuel better suited for burning in a diesel engine than gasoline. We also have techniques for refining some hydrocarbon chains into different ones, which means we can focus production on one fuel type.
Check Wikipedia on the topic, there are a ton of papers that were (within the given error margins) right about the warming we'd be seeing given a certain number of continued emissions. Even the oil companies were behind this and continue to not deny it (they just continue, just like tobacco companies, to not care enough because it makes them very rich and there is enough diffusion of accountability).

Nobody ever said fireball, but the average temperature moving multiples of degrees is already materializing in real world measurements.
lol, prob one or two stingrays floating around that area....
What's troubling to consider is that the casual nature of their brazenness really does indicate that they believe either they are doing nothing wrong, or that they are just that unconcerned with the law. During the George Floyd riots, you knew that the BLM people who protested in the morning were a bit different than the people who came to attack at night. This indicates that the people at night knew they were breaking the law. By contrast, these people, in the attack on the Capitol, were so unconcerned with law and order that they didn't even consider hiding. Things like ID tags never even crossed their minds.

Unless, to expand the metaphor to MMORPGs, you’re trying to solo (read: ramen startup) non-current content (read: disrupt an industry that has lagged in technical innovation, meaning you don’t need deep technical innovations but you do need broad agility).

The “short fat engineer” is the early-career nothing-to-lose startup founder, and that’s a vital role that is arguably correctly valued by our industry in recent decades.
How does this compare to a Yubikey for example?
In your example (incarceration) of "institutional sexism and racism", it's all about how the data is typically segmented and presented. For instance, white males receive harsher sentences than any other combination of race or gender (except black males). Additionally, white males have higher incarceration rates when compared to females of any race. Given these facts, how can "institutional sexism and racism" be objectively proffered when considering white males? If anything, they are far worse off than average. Some may find these statistics surprising, but it's mainly because of the way the headlines are consistently presented and segmented (i.e. almost always white males vs. black males). These numbers are even worse when you dig further into the data and look at the specifics of the circumstances (i.e. gender sentencing disparity/incarceration is a thing).

They very subtly suggest it here: "In the wake of the attacks several Oakland city council members including Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas, whose district includes Chinatown, have joined social justice groups warning against scapegoating and calling for solidarity between Asian American and African American communities."

What I find more interesting though is this passage: "It's not clear, however, that race or ethnicity played any role in the attack. "There is no evidence of motive related to hate," says the DA's spokesperson, Rachel Marshall, adding "the case is still under investigation.""
Oh this is perfect to hear!

Yeah my plan is to use it the same way we use kubernetes: everything via kubernetes configs/justo use is friends and nobody using CLI’s, which I’m convinced are the text version of “click ops” hahaha.

So Istio isn’t strictly required? Can I ask which components you deploy? At minimum I’m planning on just the deployment and serving components and just use straight Polyaxon for training.
I feel like 20 min coding exercises of today are nearly completely inadequate tools for proving if a candidate can do hard things.
I must be in the minority, but I stopped using browser extensions many years ago. The amount of security and privacy issues of allowing 3rd party software to run on pages I visit makes me shudder. It's difficult enough to stop the pages themselves, their analytics and ad partners from tracking me and leaking my data, I don't want to voluntarily add to this problem.

The only extensions I would need are for ad blocking, which is solved with a DNS blocker on my router, avoiding the need to set it up on all my devices separately, and a password manager, which I find I don't actually need since copy/pasting from a terminal with pass works well enough. So now all my browsers run as vanilla as possible, with maybe a built-in dark theme.

In this specific case Keysmith can record any input on any page and play it back. While the functionality is undoubtedly useful, the keylogger aspect sounds like a huge privacy risk. Their privacy policy[1] "promises" they will never collect or sell any sensitive data, but frankly why should I trust it or trust that it won't change without my knowledge? Especially with a proprietary app I can't inspect the source code of.

The Chrome Web Store submission process sounds like a nightmare, but I'm more concerned that such an invasive extension was ultimately allowed on both platforms, and that it was approved on Firefox in just 24h.

I don't think that really forced any particular endianness.

Endianness is only really a thing if there's addressable memory, which is not the case for a bit stream. Whether a system is big/little/mixed-endian was only a question of how the address lines are set for multi-byte accesses.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

Italy new cases did flatten to 3500-4000 per day for a few days this past week, but they have since resumed increasing on a daily basis. So I don't think they are out of the woods yet. It may not be exponential, but it is very much super-linear
There is also a widespread claim that too much Iodine will negatively affect your thyroid. All of those claims seem to be rooted in a single experiment that others have reviewed and say it does not support the claim. My own experience and that of the Japanese suggest otherwise too.

There was one cool study that showed the connection between kelp and reduced incidence of breast cancer. It was based on Japanese women whose cancer rates shoot up when the move to the US. The funny part for me was at the end, where they suggest that people don't start eating a lot of kelp because of the high iodine content which has these negative effects. They then proposed further study to see what was in the kelp that prevented cancer. I was just... I dunno. SMH.
TP hoarders will think: So if access to them is prioritized, they are obviously very effective, and if there is a need to prioritize, I should keep mine/get more, because I won't be able to get them later.
Agreed. I read about the coronavirus and decided to pull some of my money out - that's probably earned me 10% so far.
Are there any gamma emitting devices at hospitals that could repurposed for this? Such as those used for cancer therapy? Or imaging devices (CT scanners)?
You mean the future of Julia or the future of Flux? While an amazing accomplishment (that is still on the way of becoming truly mature, just like s4tf), Flux is just one of Julia's current ML libraries, and it definitely doesn't feel like a Rails (or maybe Flutter) situation in which the library is larger than the language. ML isn't even Julia's core target (it just happens to fits extremely well with numerical and scientific processing).

Julia will be just fine even if s4tf somehow steals all the mindshare (especially since a mature differentiable programming library will inevitably serve as inspiration for Flux itself) as the language and target audience is not very similar to Swift's and as such Flux and s4tf will also find different niches (for example one can be more used on high performance scientific research thanks to Julia's ecosystem and focus while the other can focus on mobile deployment of ML models).

I'm not gonna waste time arguing with someone who writes something like that.
Re: "... each is giving only a fragment of their attention to HN"

Yet even based on this "you" think downvotes are a good idea to keep them, compounding the issue of partial attention with laziness by allowing a single click for a dopamine hit to satisfy someone's half-or-less attention interpretation of something - not required to spend the mental effort to actually qualitatively reply (that you/HN are seeming to strive for) where they'd be forced to pay more attention or their lack of attention will be exposed for fair ridicule via getting responded to; or the qualitative reply will help educate or cause the author being responded to hopefully learn something (that a downvote won't teach them) even if that is that they weren't clear enough with their writing and it's being misinterpreted. I'd implore you to do a multi-month to year trial of no downvotes on comments - I'm sure it'll piss off those who like to think they're right at half-or-less attention and regularly downvote click for that sweet sweet dopamine - and ironically those who normally downvote may actually comment their grievances/complain that there aren't downvotes.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, though I'm really curious how you see these truths I explained above? Having downvotes seems to support a lower quality, less discussion, and less requirement for attention - which seems contrary to what you seem to be working towards?
