I didn't downvote, but I am not convinced infrastructure cost is that much higher in the suburbs.

In a dense core, maintenance and development are vastly much costlier than in the suburbs Acquiring land for any project is going to be harder and pricier. If you close a road in a suburb to do work on it or do other construction, no big deal; in a city, you create horrible traffic problems. Politically you have to deal with 3-4x as many people per mile work of anything in a city. In an urban environment, sure fuel costs per person drop drastically, but when other costs are taken into account, I remain unconvinced it is so much cheaper. Just look how expensive it is to live in a big city in the US relative to a suburb.
Good luck changing a flat.
I agree with you; my co-developers had different opinions. I think we will move to less text, more pictures, though. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes I read that. I was thinking the reverse - identifying peers with talent that you can pick up and work together with in the future, rather than attaching yourself to a talented boss. I see it as a slight distinction.
Startups have larger variance. So, if you're unlucky, you have a possibility of doing much worse than average, as with for example child porn man.

So the key is then, presumably, to somehow try to make sure you get one on the correct end of the spectrum. Starting one yourself probably helps with this.
Next step - HDR glasses.
Thanks for trying out our hack! I'm sorry you've experienced frustration, and as epiphany47 has posted, we are working on an interface that makes the process easier. I haven't heard of anyone else having the same tagging issue as you...in all cases that I've seen tagging from 5 to 1 works well. I'm afraid there's not much that can be done if the tagging process for your profile seems to be nondeterministic. =/
Great blog post! Winning is hard, sustained work.
I am sorry if you took this as a personal attack and will apologize if i hurt your feelings, i forget that words sometimes mean something different for people than what they were intended for.

I should have made clear that I think you have poor judgement if you think this is a good idea to use unverified healthcare data to base any decisions on that could cause people severe harm or the restriction of their rights.

If you look at how the US handled the Covid-19 crisis until now, especially at the CDC and the Expert level that the president assigned to guide him, that is really troubling evidence that not every researcher or healthcare official understood the concept of self-reported data or properly verified data at all.

There is a good reason why no other country in the world during this crisis suggested citizens to self test or go on a website to enter data there and based on that get tested.

That's what we have doctors and lab work for. You call the doctor tell him you might have an infectious disease, he looks at you and your symptoms. He makes the decision that you need to get tested. This is also good advise for the regular flu. And especially with Covid-19 it's important that people get tested early and hospitalized with risk factors before they turn into severe ICU cases. Many people end up in the ICU right now because they go to the hospital while already dying. A lot of the reports you read from Hospitals in the US and in other countries where people don't have universal healthcare is they already arrive with blue lips and fingers in the emergency room and do not any longer have a fighting chance to beat the virus.

I have also seen this before, I have been one of the PMCs training a lot of the military repsonse teams to the Ebola Outbreak in 2014 in west africa and it was very frightening to see on who's advise and what data the governments were basing decisions on. So excuse me when I get a bit temperamental about this topic.

Stupid people or let's say people with poor judgement are at all levels of society, sometimes in positions that they shouldn't be in a crisis.

And I understand that the guy who made the website probably has good intentions. But if you do something, do it right or not at all.
For those curious by the claim that homomorphic encryption is not computationally practical, Bruce Shneier has a great article on it

The wikipedia definition of epidemic that I cited uses the phrase "rapid spread of disease". I think most people would agree that for a disease to spread it must be communicable in some way.
This is a little bit more truthworthy. But still there is no sources, Just opinions. By sources i mean documents. Legislative documents. They can be interpreted in various ways based on who reads them
I don't know about unbundling. But it wouldn't be a surprise if at least relatively motivated students being individually homeschooled for a while--even given remote work challenges--by wealthy, educated parents did pretty well. (Whether or not on standardized tests is perhaps less certain.) Whereas kids in less good home environments aren't likely to.
Maybe because on the JVM it is a guest language and on LLVM, Kotlin/Native is barely production ready.
thanks, I will do
I was supposed to purchase a house on Thursday, and had exchanged missives for this. Now I can't legally leave the house to do something so trivial as to sign the security. Worse, a month ago I had paid thousands for flooring, appliances, furniture etc from various suppliers all of whom I'm now worried could declare bankruptcy.

I happened to notice that the die in the second diagram is an East German clone of the Zilog Z80 (1976). An interesting choice...
I mean, I get your point, but I'm confused by the statement

"trainers don't work if you have 7+ bikes in a household with differing drivetrains, even the ones that attach at the wheel"

They absolutely DO work, even then. Wheel-off smart trainers (Wahoo KICKR Snap, e.g.) don't care what your drive train is. We can put every bike we own on ours, and that includes bikes with 9-speed, 10-speed, and 11-speed drivetrains.

If you opt for a wheel-off trainer, sure, you'd probably need to ensure chain/cassette compatibility, but then you're clearly making a tradeoff for a superior "feel" and better power calibration -- in other words, you're probably racing and have no interest in keeping your 9-speed bike on a trainer when you race on 11. ;)
ARel was initially written outside of Rails Core (by Nick Kallen, just before he joined Twitter iirc). It was a continuation of his work on the named_scope plugin. No one's ego had anything to do with it.

FWIW, I used both Sequel and DataMapper in various internal projects. I didn't like either for various reasons. Different strokes...
Something works that way, but it's probably not as interesting as "influence".
Describing the main functionality of a service downplays the implications of something that is largely valued by the quantity and quality of the user base. That said, he was likely exaggerating in response to the collective opinion of facebook being over the top (which is arguably still true).
Well, I since it isn't possible (natural language isn't precise enough to even communicate efficiently with other humans that share the same hardware as you, much less an unthinking autamoton such as a computer), that would put the time frame at around never. If it ever actually happens, that would by definition of 'never' be sooner than I think, so all he has to do is actually accomplish it instead of talking shit his entire life, and he'll have proved his statement correct.

Maybe he'll call it 'A New Kind of Programming Language'.
Actually the so-called "mob justice" was a HUGE FAVOR. I'll explain.

How would you feel if your start-up was ripped off? Would you want HN people to rally around you, or would that be "mob justice"?

And what if it turned out the same people were also ripping off, say, Microsoft and Apple and several other large corporations?

If everyone had been so civil and polite, they wouldn't have felt pressured to shut down.

I don't know about you, but I'll take Facebook comments and phone calls over getting served with papers from half a dozen massive legal departments any day.

Lawsuits are expensive even when you're innocent.

If the penalties are draconian for not even distributing but just "making available" mp3s with NO commercial intentions whatsoever, what do you think the penalties are going to look like for massive distribution of hundreds or thousands of discrete willful infringements for profit?

This so-called mob justice is immeasurably nicer than what the actual legal system would have done to them.
Or Brazilians just hate Jimmy Wales, or...

It's a bit preemptive to draw a conclusion like that.
For a long time I wondered what the Higgs boson was about, and then I saw a good explanation in Scientific American.

Here is what it comes down to. It turns out that the laws of physics become greatly simplified if we can assert that, there are symmetries between apparently disparate forces. For instance we would like the electromagnetic force and the weak force to be exactly equivalent. There is a pretty obvious problem with this assertion though, and it is that those forces are obviously very different, electromagnetism can work at any distance while the weak force works on the scale of a nucleus.

But physicists are clever, and came up with a solution. What happens if the symmetry exists, but there is a field whose job is to differentiate the two which makes it very likely that you'll be in a stable state with them very different? This is called "spontaneous symmetry breaking". In our universe, the weak and electromagnetic forces are different, in another their roles could be reversed. But in the actual laws of physics, they are entirely symmetric.

On the surface this would seem to be an assertion without content. But it is not. According to QM, every field must be be carried by an associated boson. Those bosons are particles that can be detected. We can predict some of the properties of those bosons. If we can find them, then we've verified the theory.

With this approach physicists put together something they call the standard model. It predicts a whole zoo of particles. Every one of which has been discovered except one. And that remaining one is the Higgs boson, whose job is to make the masses of the photon, W boson, and Z boson all different.

Now with that in mind you can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson and some of it might make some modicum of sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model gives more background.
I think I can explain some of the dogmatism seen with XP practitioners. XP is a set of practices for customers, developers, and communication. XP consultants think that teams should try all the practices. Most XP people don't oppose removing or modifying a practice, but they don't see why you should remove it before you've tried it, especially when the reason is something like, "Pair programming will never work here." Try it for real, then make it your own.

In discussions between agile groups, XP people are often confused by, say, Scrum, because the Scrum consultants teach fewer practices and use funny vocabulary. But I'd say that most XP people would prefer to work in a Scrum environment than in many more traditional environments, and they would say so if you asked them.

What's your shortlist of companies you would recommend to new grads?
IKR. Silicon Valley (and Seattle, Portland, RTP, and Austin) need a 24/7 "tech" convenience store like B&H Photo but with electronic components, equipment, and odds-ends hardware, software, biohackers, makers, and inventor-entrepreneurs need immediately. Throw in a coffee shop like some Fry's had but bigger and cooler (Buck's of Woodside-style).

I noticed Fry's were declining when their electronic components section atrophied, shelves were pulled-out, shelves weren't filled, and there wasn't as much foot-traffic.
Practical. I do some schmaltz cooking and will sometimes whip rendered tallow or chicken fat with butter. Because it's seasoned from the BBQ brisket or whatever dish it came from, the fat makes a great compound butter. It's also spreadable and great to spoon over vegetables, etc.
Cardano has a different approach of smart contract than Ethereum. For example, in Cardano, any tokens will be treated as native assets (except with the ability to vote in Cardano network, which you need ADA), so no need smart contract.
Curious what your background is to make those statements. My experience from Red Flag and other exercises is that the 5th gens (22 & 35) have a much better K/D and survivability. When you expend all of your stand off weapons or need to get a B-2 deep into a contested airspace, including against SAMs, you need a 35 going in to do sanitization. No F-16 is fighting off both SAMs and a huge ass wave of J-10s or any J-20s while protecting a bomber.

Now is that 35 worth the price? If our policy continues to insist for preparing against an impossible push peer adversary landmasses, then maybe. Personally I don’t see those pushes happening, but that’s more due to the tyranny of distance and having like 10 minutes of play time before needing to refuel.
GCP Support is not free though.
No, there’s not. Some developers discussing this with reports from support: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/669486
Especially since it breaks alt-left-arrow for "back".
Not a general experience but common for many incubators, even for some with bootstrapped companies.
It's interesting to see in a lifetime how many once-thought mature and discrete fields have become inter- and sub-disciplinary as our understanding of the underlying principles of the universe has improved.

Very pleased to hear this. I'd much rather have resources funneled into making v8 and JavaScript in general more performant. It already has so much momentum behind it.
This is unrelated.

Thanks, we're working hard on getting the clustering features complete so we have a real answer for HA, failover, and scalability (up to a point based on current design).

For logfile rotation our recommended solution is to use logrotate. We'll be updating the install to include a config. See https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/issues/1943
thanks Mike!
Room 641A was well known, as fact, years before Snowden and nobody gave a shit.

I remember people talking about it circa 2006. It was in the context of "if the government wanted to ban something and actively enforce it, they have the ability to do that because they've got a room where they grab a beam off all of AT&T's fiber optics"

Everybody knew, nobody cared.
I'm missing the old Netflix DVD service. I still use it but a lot of films have dropped off my queue and my perception is that the bad disk count has gone up as well. It's tolerable given the lack of alternatives and the fact that my film tastes are relatively conventional, but it's still unfortunate.
This is only if the channel is a purely-external measurement of the computation, e.g. total turnaround time time to a result. A sleep won't do anything to mask a side-channel which involves (sometimes obscure) access to the actual work being done by the processor.
Right, I didn't mention such things as thermal and environmental testing. How is your widget going to work in an Icelandic winter or at the peak of summer in Death Valley? How about dirt, grime, dust, vibration and humidity, rapid cycling, cycles per day, drop, impact?

The list is huge and highly dependent on the product being designed.

About ten years ago a company owned by a friend of mine shipped a machine worth $800,000 to Japan. The packaging/crate was not designed correctly. The machine suffered irreparable damage during transportation. No, there was no penetration of the crate. It was purely inertial loads on components that were not supported for transportation. They bent. It was probably a combination of forklifts, trucking, port container handling, etc. The machine was a total loss. The insurance company was not happy.
Backend Engineer, UX Designer (two separate positions) - Omniata, Helsinki, Finland - visa, full time

Founded by a team of former Digital Chocolate and EA data leads, Omniata (http://www.omniata.com) integrates analytics, CRM, user engagement and A/B testing platforms into one solution. The company is well funded (http://www.creandum.com/why-creandum-invested-omniata/) & headquartered in SF. The bulk of R&D will be done in the Helsinki office which at the moment only has a small team, so this is a great opportunity to get in early and grow with the company.

As a backend engineer you’ll be part of the team responsible for infrastructure code handling millions of events each month. Tasks will include improving existing components and creating new systems for scaling, automating and monitoring of processes. Knowledge of Perl & Bash is expected, however if you’re more comfortable with another dynamic language like Python or Ruby and have a good grasp of low level Linux, we should still talk. Familiarity with C would also be an advantage.

As a UX designer you will be responsible for a creating the UIs and improving the UX of Omniata's web interfaces that allow Omniata's customers to make the most of their data. Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript would be a plus, but is not a must.

If you're at all interested in this area and Helsinki as a place to live and work, drop a one line email with a link to your LinkedIn and GitHub profile (in the case of backend) or portfolio (in the case of UX) to careers-hl@omniata.com
As others have mentioned, I think a new name is necessary. It wouldn't be fair to the project to handicap it with such as name.

Name it after Voltaire, John Stuart Mill, Locke or similar.

Interestingly, a previous HN discussion also suggested a name change:

(The abbreviation DIME, Dark Internet Mail Environment, sometimes mentioned is also terrible. Hiding 'dark' with an abbreviation isn't enough)
My wish list:

* generate randomized test cases for web flows

you were detained on a first visit? That's unlucky, are you sure you didn't accidentally admit to intending to work or something like that?
I'm sure they are doing a lot of great work. However, I really do not like the idea of having one company to serve all major websites of the internet. Should one not focus on a better solution to ddos-attacks than putting everything into the hands of a single entity..?
You want great programmers? Exceptional? Why would any exceptional programmer go to US on H1B visa? It is such a short leash - no way anyone truly great would trade Europe or Asia for a chance to be a slave in a cubicle, ready to be fired at moment's notice.

You want exceptional programmers, Paul? I will tell you a way to find the truly great ones, and promise that other developers will NOT be against it. Any developer can come here, provided that the hiring company:

1. Pays him / her $1,000,000 (1 million US dollars) per year, tied to inflation. I don't care how you search or decide, but that is the best indicator of a truly exceptional programmer - paying him / her a LOT.
2. If the contract is broken for any reason, the exceptional developer gets the severance package, for example a 6 months salary.

Hmm, I do not see you or anyone else advocating for exceptional salaries to pay for an exceptional programming talent. Case closed.

How is this a coup attempt? A handful of random, largely unarmed citizens can't just take control of the government by storming one building. The federal government is massive, not to mention all the individual state governments. A coup would have to be led by actual politicians or military leaders in positions of power.
Well they tear gassed some protestors - not looters, basically just people milling around compared to this - so Donnie could hold a Bible upside down outside a church.

I think that elisp is one of the many a strengths of Emacs, along with it's strong extensibility, customization, and general user freedom. I think language choice is a smaller part of the pie compared to Microsoft's backing, networking effects within companies, and visual appeal and design.

However, I do agree with you that Emacs onboarding process can be difficult if you don't know lisp, in that you have to now learn a new language and the API for interacting with the editor. That is why some friends and I recently decided to embed JavaScript/TypeScript into Emacs as a means of controlling the editor [1]. We will see if we can prove you right.

Yes, I'd assume that most of these immigrants described by the article will become productive citizens and will benefit the USA. I don't find anything wrong with what these people are doing, except for the fact that they have to "work around the system" to achieve their goals. There will be many more people who will move with their children to the US shortly after their births and then live in the US longer than those mentioned in the article. Why should one group of people be able to become citizens immediately while the others aren't able to [until they apply for citizenship]? In short, I feel no hard feelings against those who only come to have their children here, but rather feel that the system needs to be changed in some way.

I just want to know what the TSA supervisor expected would happen if he DID choose to go back to customs. Then what? Where does he go? He has no ticket, no boarding pass. He can't get on a plane. I don't see how refusing could possible end any other way than for him to walk out of there. Surely even as he was saying this, he'd have realised how absurd it was.

As a tourist, I wouldn't risk it...too easy to put you back on a plane (unless you have to consent to a search there too?). But if I were a citizen of the USA, there is no chance I'd put up with that when returning to my own country.
