Help both and if that takes too much a slice from the industry let them suffer a bit, how else can they learn their lesson? So far the Feds bailed them out and the cancer in these corporations that was supposed to naturally recycle will be even more entrenched, so this will continue to weaken the country while the unfortunate who got laid off during the pandemic would have to figure it out without a job, with the possibility of losing it all and becoming homeless.
I think if my 20/30 paid apps only 2 needed $ for big air - really bit that bad (for me)
You can recompile an object in MudOS, but only new clones of that object get the recompiled code.
I'm curious and cautiously optimistic. If CED is going to be involved, I hope they plan to send their members some more detailed information on what this is going to entail, how it will affect CED members, etc.

Sadly, when I hear things like "Governor so and so and Representative What's-his-name were present" as though that was a big part of the event, my default assumption is that this is just going to turn into another round of crony-ism for the benefit of those <strike>well-connected</strike> corrupt enough.
Hi Leon, thanks a lot for your comment!

The breakthrough is that STV will automatically bind this added control to one of your object's properties. Have you watched the video tutorials? (Core Data video tutorial for example: http://www.sensiblecocoa.com/video-tutorials/watch/7/coredat...)

This scheme has enabled our customers to cut their development time by one tenth in some cases. You can see some of our customer testimonials here: http://www.sensiblecocoa.com/buy-now.html

Thanks again!
Informal poll: how fast do you read, in pages/min? Assume typical fiction paperback pages.

My girlfriend is an extremely fast reader, somewhere around 3 pages/min. E.g. she just read A Game of Thrones in a couple days.

I'm not a slow reader by any means, but even a two-fold speed boost would make it dramatically easier to finish books; I have too many competing interests to spend more than an hour on any given book per day, and if it's going to take me a week to finish a book, there are just too many opportunities to put it aside and start something else.
Yes, I tried to follow the citations too and got nowhere. I find it hard to believe that they "never" read another book after college. I suspect that wording has been twisted and we don't know the survey subjects. Did they survey a bunch of 24 year olds?
Right, I agree that is the main point of the post. However, generalizing Netflix's naming of their fault-inducing system into unexpected failures dilutes the meaning of such name. Jeff's introduction to Netflix's system is what made this post interesting (if you disagree, take the mental exercise and rewrite this post in your mind without mentioning Netflix's system). There's a disconnect between the main point of the post and the most interesting point of the post.
The danger comes when China has enough money to equal the US in military strength and decides it wants as much influence in World politics as America does.

The rest of the World doesn't need that complication.

on a serious note, i've heard of people doing this to store bought items and then returning them for a refund, is that common?
This article added one fact of interest: a price.
The Wii's appeal is about multi-player gaming in the same physical space.

iOS, Android, and Facebook don't compete with Wii on that count at all. MS and Sony have made efforts at this, but still, the Wii is the most genuinely social gaming system.
Do you think it has a different underlying root than being a [whatever else] fanatic?

There's been some research done into sports, for instance.
Is a minimum wage intended to provide support for one person or for a family (including dependents)? You aren't really clear in your comment on this point, which is common confusion in much discussion of this topic.

If it is for an entire family, then shouldn't there be a different, lower minimum wage for an individual without a family? What about a teenager with an after school job? What about a retiree who is just trying to keep busy but doesn't need a living wage at all?
It seems that even HN has censored this topic. I couldn't see this post on any page without searching for it.
If I could get student debt forgiven, I'd go back to college full-time.
Wikipedia has an interesting tidbit:

> In November 2019, the Public Interest Registry (PIR) was sold by its initial owner, the Internet Society, to investment firm Ethos Capital for an undisclosed amount. The PIR also announced it would abandon its non-profit status to become a B Corporation.

So, it seem like they plan to forgo their nonprofit status to became a for-profit company?

I can as well highly recommend this course, as well as the professor! Outstanding!
Even though those false positive rates are high, I don't think that in itself is enough reason to dismiss the idea.

You'll still be able to identify a pool of people that as a group will develop this cancer at a rate 20x above the normal population. That still seems like a big deal, for instsance if I discovered I had a genetic factor that made me 20x more likely to get a particular cancer I think I would want to be tested for it out of precaution. This seems like the same thing.

(Now if the only further test you can do is itself super invasive or risky, that obviously has to be weighed into the decision too).
> It's also not very likely to happen, especially due to poisonous behaviour of kernel maintainers towards nVidia, unwilligness to compromise

Please, there is nothing to compromise about.

Nvidia doesn't want to work with the kernel community. They don't want to document how their driver works. They don't want people to look at how their driver works. They don't even want people to develop alternative drivers for their cards.

Nvidia earned 100% of the bad blood existing between them and the kernel community. They are even worse to work with than Qualcomm. Should give you an idea of how bad they are.
> I strongly disagree with this statement.

That means that businessmen who use middle men are incompetent fools. While that is impossible, it's highly unlikely.

If only there was a law whereby if they could they could describe what they were looking for on the device and demonstrate why they needed access to the device to a sufficent standard that they can then get access. Maybe that would solve their problem ?

Oh wait...
so.... a captive portal again.

to clarify, I'm not defending what gogo did to SSL. That's wrong and horrible. but captive portals had nothing to do with it.

edit: my reading of passpoint is that it provides a way for mobile devices to join wifi networks without making the user go through the process of selecting the proper SSID. Instead, the mobile device sees information about the network and joins automatically. but once the device is on the network, passpoint is complete and if the network is captive portal'd, the device will then have to visit the login page to proceed.

That's exactly my method. What I've noticed in the last couple of years that there are more and more programmers that could not start from a 'blank page' if their life depended on it. That's a sad thing in my opinion, programming is a creative job and creation sometimes needs to start from nothing or extremely little.

As a European living in Europe I am more of the impression that anti-union sentiments are mainly widespread in the USA. But then again I haven’t really discussed unionization with anyone either. I just see more negativity towards it in public from Americans than from others.
When a job change forced me onto a Windows environment, having that remote option in vscode is probably the biggest factor that let me keep that job. This was back on WSL1, which was horrible, so I ended up running a linux VM to get full docker and Linux support. I tried pycharm through vcxsrv, but it was just a bit off. But with the ssh plugin to vscode, it was incredibly slick.

WSL2 would have the same advantages - a linux vm running under hyper-v. I see PyCharm 2021.1 has the same WSL connectivity as IntelliJ, so I will have to try this out. Would love if they added an ssh option.
My opinion on this isn't popular. One time I was discussing Sesame Street with a friend who said how great it was at teaching kids - his kid knew the alphabet when entering school.

I asked how often his kid watched SS. With a back of envelope calculation, I pointed out that it took SS several hundred hours to teach his kid the alphabet. I.e. it was the most inefficient, time-consuming teaching method ever devised.

(I was taught the alphabet in first grade by singing the alphabet song. This was before SS.)
Never mind that; being a burger brings expectations that are hard to meet. Why not be something different, so folks try it with an open mind?
Oddly, one place where innovation unquestionably happens is in sales, especially in the early days of a company. A young company trots out its cute new puppy, and the field people (CEO or otherwise as the case may be) and the customers collaborate in making it into a wolf or plowhorse or cheetah or something else very different from what it started out to be.

I just hope whatever solutions are in place are able to cope once the vaccine deliveries kick in.
I attended FOSDEM this year, and the platform worked quite well. Sure, there were the occasional technical hiccups, but bugs can always be fixed if the foundations are solid, and they appeared to be. Since FOSDEM's physical environment stopped scaling years ago, I hope this will make remote or mixed remote/physical participation increasingly viable.
C/C++ != "most backend languages". Python, Ruby, Go and, Rust are much more commonly used on the backend and none of them have build systems as ugly as C nor as over-engineered and messy as JS.
What is D3?

D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG and CSS. D3’s emphasis on web standards gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining powerful visualization components and a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation.
I can confirm this. I was born in the Valencian community and I was "forced" to study Valencian language at the school as part of a "normalisation" process so the language wasn't lost.

When I was working as OSS consultant in Valencia one of the main issues was the translation of OpenOffice to Valencian language because for political reasons (mostly) the Catalan version couldn't be used. Let's say it is complicated. To cut the story short: some people in Valencia don't want to accept that Valencian is dialect of Catalan and they insist that it is a completely different language (total BS, but politics isn't about science, is it?).

Yes, some words are different, like en_US is different from en_GB; but the whole absurd thing got to the point that they didn't want to use the locale for Catalan (ie. ca_ES@valencia or similar). Again, because political reasons they wanted to use va_ES but then OpenOffice couldn't integrate the translations in their source tree because va_ES is not an accepted locale in the IANA database.

It was a total mess and it meant that they were always playing the catch up game translating again and again OpenOffice with each new version (I don't know how things are now in LibreOffice, but OpenOffice was a total nightmare).

All together is a little bit sad to see how resources are wasted.
The way that adaptation works (warning: simplifying a bit here) is that your brain wants you to get restful sleep when you aren't allowing it to. In this situation, its default strategy is to cause you to feel the effects of sleep deprivation in order to induce sleep. If you successfully resist this urge, only going to sleep at certain times, and follow a schedule fairly strictly, then your brain will give up after a week or two, and will learn to just take whatever it can get during those time slots (i.e. go directly into REM sleep).

After a while of doing this (adaptation), you will get most or all of the sleep you need, just from naps, and you will no longer feel sleep deprivation.

Check out the book "Ubersleep" written by Pure Doxyk, someone who has successfully done long-term polyphasic sleep, for details on this model of sleep.

You say the injunction is worthless, yet the people acting on behalf of Miranda call it a "partial victory". Therefore you have made up nonsense.

Exactly, and the injunction now prevents them from using this for any other reason.

Commissioned? ITYM "committed". Yes?
Sorry about that. There is only so much that I can write on a project page. It has to grab attention.

The real question - how many Googlers leave each week? What is the employee turnover?

We know about the high-profile exits, but I'd be interested to see how many middle and lower level employees are leaving.
feedback once again appreciated. i see what you're saying about minimizing the number of comments. like i say, i'm much more use to environments where it's considered impolite not to respond to somebody if they have a decent point. live and learn. which of my replies do you think i should have omitted.

on the capitalization front, i hear you saying that a lot of people on HN are like the worst kind of VCs, the ones who will judge an entrepreneur based on appearance. disappointing.

the "break the rules, just not the ones that matter" quote is from pg in "What we look for". i like your reworking better (although it's got the same challenge about subjectivity -- who decides what matters?) this isn't a rule, though, it's more like a norm. from what you've said, suppressing my personality and adhering to the norm may make me more popular here. is that how most people see HN?
Rake ensures that if you keep playing long enough you will run out of money - now matter how well you play.

Correction. Rake ensures that if you keep playing long enough, SOMEONE will run out of money. There are many people who can play indefinitely and make money.
My bank gave me a PIN and a list of transaction numbers (seems to be standard practice in Germany). So I could theoretically let a Mint-like service read my bank statements without allowing them to transfer anything.

It's quite clear at this stage having technological solutions to password authentication simply isn't enough. We need to make it a criminally prosecutable offence for services of a certain size not to use them. The company that produced that 105 million record database, regardless of whether this turns out to be infiltration by an outsider or an inside job, should be sued for gross negligence.

Why can't we do this when the EU can pass useless cookie directives?
See "A Refutation of Metcalfe's Law", by Odlyzko and Tilly:

http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/metcalfe.pdf

I'd extend the rule further and suggest that the value of a network scales as some Odlyzko and Tilly suggest, but with an additional negative function subtracting value (v) from the network:

v = n(log(n) - f(n)

That is: as the network grows, the added value of each additional member is reduced (log(n)). Further, each additional member of the network exacts a cost to the network as a whole as well. Doing some simple modeling, I suspect that this isn't a strictly linear factor, but itself grows with n, quite possibly as the original Metcalfe's law suggestion. That is: any given member is increasingly less likely to be a positive contribution to the network, but might well present an equal opportunity to be a net negative to the group as a whole:

v = n(log(n)) - kn^2

Where 0 < k < 1 and n > 1.

Moreover, let's look at some group sizes which might allow us to estimate for k in various contexts.

For software team size, it's very typical that a core engineering group has a size of 5-10 members, more or less. This suggests that k is about 0.2 for software development: every added team member exacts a cost, within a single group, of about 20%. This sees value grow for 1 < n < 8, then fall with larger n, hitting negative values at about n=14.

For an elementary school classroom where the ideal class size seems to be around 22-25 students, k would be around 0.08.

For Dunbar's Number, the number of relationships people can manage (100 - 300, typically set at 150), k is between 0.028 (100), 0.2 (150), and 0.113 (300).

For city sizes, it's likely that different cities offer different matches of positive and negative factors. k of 0.0005 gives value max at n ~ 10,000, k of 0.0006 is ~ 100,000, and 0.000007 is around 1 million.

To scale to 1 billion users with net positive value means you have to keep k to less than 0.00000001. That is: any one member can have only a 1 in 10 million chance of being annoying to other members.

While this may not be inviting to you, I think there is a flip side to the "wide-net" that big companies cast on LinkedIn and such. Instead of just hiring from a pool of "well-established" candidates, they give a chance to a wide variety of people from different backgrounds - as long as they can pass the interviews.

This may not sound like much to anyone who is established in the industry or happened to be in the right places for a good career head-start, but for people coming from non-traditional backgrounds, industries and especially places where there's no tech - being able to study-up and land a job at some of the most well known names in the industry can be life-changing. I think this is a very under-appreciated side effect of the "recruiter spam" from FAANG that everyone seems to dislike if they can afford to.
I was hoping this was about how WhatsApp (the app) could now do a Facebook messaging, or somesuch.

It seems more about how WhatsApp/Facebook the company use your data in the background, rather than "how WhatsApp works ...".
Ahh, so they're not actually looking for seniors then? Sounds like they want people who are "passionate" enough to spend months prepping for an interview so they can milk them dry without the risk of pesky things like "free time" and "family" getting in the way.

Tongue in cheek analysis aside:

- A phone interview to weed out timewasters.

- A RELEVANT technical take-home task that could be done feasibly in a few hours.

- A long, informal, in-person chat to determine "culture fit" and personality.

- Actually checking references.

That's all you need, anything more is just self-importance - or worse - time wasting.
Unfortunately your script still calls a third party domain, which is trivial to block using a generic AdBlock/uBlock rule. Instead, you should host the matomo script (under a different filename of course) on your own domain. That way it won't be as easily blocked.

I go as far as to send all the tracking parameters through a custom server script before they are proxied to GA and Matomo. That way, I can change the script and parameter names at will, making them much more difficult to block. For example, Matomo-related blocking rules are as follows:
