If you use a version of Elixir built against the correct OTP release, you'll get the following automatically:

VM Performance improvements - normally this is minor but for this release it's a big big thing

Bug fixes - to standard library and VM

New Erlang APIs to use directly - you can call Erlang functions easily from Elixir, allowing you to leverage new standard library features, but they won't be used by Elixir because of the compatibility guarantees discussed elsewhere here
Just that many people seem weirdly obsessed with reading into the meaning of dreams.
5. You can’t upload a custom image and assign a Floating IP to the Droplet, one of the most basic of the functionality of any cloud.
I don't understand what you're arguing. In the Westminster System generally, and the Canadian variant specifically, the leader of the party holds immense power.

Obviously there is no legal requirement for MPs to vote a certain way, but in practice the party leader, and the whip will force votes it deems important from party members . And yes, getting kicked out of the party or losing cabinet or committee assignments is normal punishment for insubordination. The end result is that MPs are much more disciplined around voting along party lines than, for example, House members are under the American system. In fact, the American Congress is a wild-west compared to the strict discipline you find in the Canadian Parliamentary system. You would never see a Joe Manchin-type of behaviour when a party member breaks ranks to vote against a candidate pushed by the party leader (or whatever the equivalent would be in the Canadian system). That never happens.

I suspect that Trudeau in this case wanted to have his cake and eat it to. He allowed a free vote for Liberal MPs while he and leadership abstained. This way he isn't on record one way or the other and therefore limits how pissed China would be, and at the same time limit the amount of criticism he would get from opposition had he forced a particular vote on his MPs.
Do you have your projects cloned in the remote host?

I ask because I was excited about this prospect only to learn that I could only use Remote: Containers if codebase and container are on the same machine as the project workspace is just volume-mounted in the container.
The author is spot on.

School, as it exists, heavily rewards a certain type of learner. Intelligence is far less important than your ability to sit still, regurgitate answers, and conform. If you're smart, but can't learn in that environment, you are out of luck.

I struggled throughout my entire career as a student. Some classes were too easy, some not interesting. I was a voracious reader, and could teach myself almost any subject, but sitting still and listening to lectures is not my forte. Neither is grinding at homework.

I spent a lot of my life thinking I was broken, until I eventually found myself a job where ability to self teach was more important than ability to sit still and conform.

I really hope that Covid would push the school system to adapt and change, introducing forms of asynchronous learning that really work well for people like me, but to push to go back to in-class learning doesn't leave me to believe that that will happen.

I do think the author misses one point though. He's right that if you don't go to work, your boss doesn't come and get you and make you go. If I stop going to work, nobody is going to come get me. But unless you are already rich, you probably have to figure out some way to make money. You may end up having choice in what that looks like, or you may not. Believe me when I tell you that I've had bosses who were way more abusive than any of the teachers described in the article.

There is something to be said for just learning to deal with it, especially given that the author is only like 3 years away from anybody caring what he does anymore.
I’m referring to voice activated assistants, and I was referring to the case when the typical (middle class) household had one, which happened long after their initial release (and arguably hasn’t even happened yet, depending on how you define “typical”).
I have an aesthetic fondness for these as anti-patterns, but then there is reality:

My 85-year-old mother allowed some random caller to talk her into giving them administrative access to her Windows XP system. I have convinced her to accept replacement of her system with a chromebook, but now I want to retrieve the photos she had on the always-attached backup media. Zero-tolerance for vulnerabilities would mean destroying all media that touched her compromised system, but I'm going to accept the imperfect assurance of malware scanning and then copy the photo files somewhere she can click to them.

"Less and less is done, until non-action is achieved; when nothing is done, nothing remains to be done." (Tao Te Ching 48; translated by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English).

I ask: is that a state of perfection or of death?
You have a very weird idea of what security guards do. They don't sit in front of the entrance all night, scaring off would-be robbers. They are inside the building, in their booth, probably looking over some monitors. They do not provide a deterrent, they just call the cops if something does happen. Robbers have no clue if they are there or not. The heuristic works fine.
I want to learn how to manage projects better. At the tail end of 2014 I moved from a boutique consultancy of less than 10 FTE to a subsidiary of an ASX20 company. I now have multiple stakeholders and multiple delegates across numerous business divisions and agencies. I would like to learn what my project management style is and find patterns to deal with these new challenges more effectively.
Other issues:

* It's leaking a lot of information (Google Analytics and a few other domains are being connected to directly instead of going through proxy). This is probably the biggest thing to fix. Offering a "strip all scripts" option may help.

* Useragent is set to Go's default. Forwarding the user's user-agent or better yet, a stock browser useragent (Firefox or something) may be better

That not the same thing. Bill Tallis below explained it better than I did though.
I don't think you really get medical advice from CrowdMed.You get ideas for diagnosis(probably with reasoning) - and you go with them to your doctor, to verify.In general CrowdMed deals with cases where regular doctors failed to find a good diagnosis,so they will be happy to get GOOD ideas.
I guess I'm the odd one out on this, but why not send your competitor an email and let him know what he's doing is risky and dangerous. Perhaps he doesn't know? Perhaps he had a developer who told him everything was fine, and a friendly, across-the-aisle approach could help things.

As you said, you'd probably put him out of business, and regardless if that's your competitor or not, it's still a human being with a life that will be ruined.

As icebraining mentioned earlier, it's not illegal to not be in PCI compliance, just really, really dumb.
I just clicked my Dropbox icon and what pops up is a list of files with extensions like .pdf, .txt. They don't seem terribly killed off. Wilson's observation seems to be more that people don't bother storing a lot of stuff like mp3s on their phones which is fair enough it you can stream your music adequately.

If you're interested, I'd expect adding support for this to the Nim programming language would be more trivial since Nim compiles to C.

I had a quick look into doing this on your original thread[1], but got stuck pretty early on and just didn't have the time to get back into it.

If that's something you'd be willing to pursue I'd love to help any way I can. Feel free to DM me on Twitter[2] any time.

One of my favorite microblogs is Seth Godin's blog <https://seths.blog/>. One post per day, succinct, original, and often insightful.

What I appreciate most about Seth Godin is that it's original, insightful writing. Most microblogging (Twitter) is either trivial and self-absorbed ("I liked this", "I had X for breakfast", etc.), or a link to someone else's content.
Sinclair wasn’t interesting in targeting that demographic, which is part of the reason Chris Curry left Sinclair to found Acorn. And you can see the difference in the build quality of machines like the ZX vs the BBC Micro. I’m really not convinced ZX Spectrums would have lasted long with a school of, often unmonitored, children banging away at the computer.

Not to mention that the BBC Micro came with a proper monitor. Granted home users could get away with plugging their computer into the TV but buying a TV for their computer would have been an extra cost for schools.

Commodore PET is a few years older than the BBC Micro so that might be why your school has then instead?
“We need access to your contacts in order for you to choose people to invite” is the message shown when you click on the invite feature.

I found it just straight up hostile given that there is no technical reason for needing my contacts to send an invite.

It soured my view of Clubhouse enough that I uninstalled it.
It would be great if there was some management GUI for these tasks so you don’t have to look up the syntax for these things that in many deployments you only do once.
If expensive component extended React.PureComponent there would be no rerender.
And why would that be sustainably possible?
Day trading is difficult and requires a lot of practice, knowledge, and patience, but saying you’ll lose every time isn’t always true. There are many many profitable retail day traders. HFT don’t really compete too much because they look to scalp differently.
I'm also very impressed by redbean. However, I couldn't get it to work, just like many of the other HNers on that thread.
> Ahh I guess you don't live in an area with RAIN

I grew up in Washington and Oregon, west of the Cascades. And if you're ever in Taipei's Songshan or Xinyi districts during the monsoon and see a crazy white guy not using an umbrella, you've probably caught me on yet another foolishly-agreed-to business trip.

As an expert on being heavily peed on by the sky, I can assure you that rain does not easily or quickly penetrate things like the hard plastic containers Amazon Prime Air will be delivering items in. (I guess you never watched the video?)

> and WINTER where anything not bolted down to the roof generally gets blown right off

I'm in eastern Washington now, where our regular 60+mph storms are more of an autumn thing.

Tornadoes are fairly rare throughout Washington, but when they do happen, they are, of course, concentrated in spring and summer, like the one we suspect touched down on our property in western Washington in the 90s.

But regardless of the time of year, if the weather is that bad, the drone probably won't be flying.

> Sure it's a big flat space, and it may be accessible in case of emergency, but it wasn't designed for regular use.

They get regular use anyway.

> You're going to have to retrofit the roof to meet spec.

Any particular spec, or just a fuzzy concept that I'm to assume must exist somewhere to forbid this de minimis usage?
Why can't there be a moral dimension? It's a market transaction that involves making a promise. Lots of people think that fulfilling promises is a moral thing.
It doesn't. This is just showing the normal way that callbacks are implemented in vanilla C and how you would make that programming pattern interoperate with Rust closures. Neither one relies on the compiler trickery/runtime code generation described in the earlier article.
The problems there don't apply I believe because Rust closures don't require an executable stack.
>David Attenborough once claimed that the blue whale’s heart “is the size of a car, and that some of its blood vessels are so wide that you could swim down them.” Neither factoid is true. In 2015, when a dead blue whale washed ashore in Newfoundland, Canada, a dissection team from the Royal Ontario Museum managed to extract and measure its heart. At 400 pounds, it was undoubtedly and impressively big. But the main artery was barely big enough for a human head, and the whole organ was more like “a small golf cart or circus bumper car for two,” said Jacqueline Miller, a mammalogy technician, to the BBC. Goldbogen compares it to “an easy chair or a single-person sofa.”
There aren't a lot of trees in the desert southwest. Those cairns ARE the markers that make it a well-marked trail.

Additionally, in an extreme environment like that a single well-worn path is far less impactful to the environment than wandering all over in generally the right direction.
The demographics of Japan, specifically an aging population and declining birth rate, is unfortunately where ALL modern countries are headed. Anyone who studies demographics knows this (in my part of the world we learn this in middle school). This is the natural result of healthcare improvements and first world parents who choose for various social reasons to have fewer and fewer kids.
I'm behind CGNAT for my home connection :(

However, I also have native ipv6 to the home for as many devices as I want. It's easy to forget that carrier NAT is expensive for ISPs as NAT hardware needs a lot of fast RAM.

Thanks. However, "years ago" means 2017 afaik :)
I agree with what you say and just want to add that the benchmark for FSD shouldn't be the bad drivers, it should be the best ones.
but they obviously should.
Been there. Got out. It took 95% burning determination and hard work, and maybe 5% luck.

1) You've identified that what's in your project portfolio isn't impressive. This is fine, as there's lot of people working for Cardboard BoxCo. My recommendation is to create a side-project that you think might be impressive to potential employers. It doesn't have to be a real website. Think of those "Contoso, Inc." examples that Microsoft likes to use. Just create something that you feel demonstrates what you're capable of and could show either on an inexpensive VPS solution ($20 USD/mo) and also could bring in via a laptop for a bit of show-and-tell (I've had plenty of candidates do this).

2) Even if #1 doesn't lead to an immediate job, keep playing. Keep learning. At the very least you can make your life easier in your current situation. Possibly you might be able to raise an eyebrow for at least something of a pay raise. If not, you're learning skills that could prove useful elsewhere. Don't give up, just dig in. Keep aiming your sights higher, never be complacent with what you're capable of. Keep learning. Keep outdoing your best.

3) Network with everyone you know to look for opportunity. I got out of a similar situation to yours via our hardware vendor. His son used to run a fairly impressive IT firm, and one of his old high school buddies had went to work for a startup that they were providing hardware to. Over the years they knew what I was capable of and could be doing better (they had an idea of what I was getting paid), and that startup needed someone who could get things done. That ended up being my ticket out and eventually on to better things.
Why would we cut off access to (say) China if we went to war with them over Taiwan? How would that help us?
With your attitude, I wouldn't hire you either. Buck up, little camper! Welcome to the internet!

You made no mention of open source apps you've written or contribute to. You also made no mention of any side projects you've done that don't have that 'bold and pink' your work projects do.

With no drive to improve your skills, you're destined to stay in this dead-end job, if you're not replaced soon by someone who will do it faster and cheaper. GET ON IT, MAN!

A much better job awaits, but you're certainly not going to get it by sulking and not doing any quality work.
Sorry for that, it is not intentional, we'll fix it.
Wow, this is interesting. I came up with an idea similar to this about two years ago, but never really worked on it. I guess I should have! Within the past year this kind of thing has really taken off. This concept is also being used in molecular dynamics. The LAMMPS developers have recently added a new "SNAP" potential that performs a Gaussian approximation of the bispectrum of common atom neighborhood configurations (force field generation on the fly). See http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/pair_snap.html. The paper on their implementation is available online, but it isn't even published yet. In 2014 alone, the number of papers on machine learning for QM and MD tasks has increased by a HUGE number. I get the impression this kind of thing has turned into a race.

I believe this is the paper that started it all:
Bartók 2010
http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.104...

The goal was to remove translational, rotational, and permutative degrees of freedom (DOF) from a collection of atoms, something I had been attempting unsuccessfully on my own for a while. The radial distribution function has traditionally been used a lot in MD, but it only captures a small portion of the total degrees of freedom for a collection of atoms (which is also the reason it's difficult to develop structural molecular models from neutron scattering data alone). The bispectrum on the other hand captures almost all of the DOF in a way that removes the angular dependence. It's ingenious really. It describes the probability distribution of atoms as a projection onto the surface of a 4D sphere, and the locations of the atoms are given by 4D spherical harmonic basis functions. New configurations are then smoothly interpolated from DFT calculations. This even includes the effect of electron correlation in MD! (Well, so far as the functional used in DFT is successful at that task).

The funny thing is that the concept of the bispectrum has been around for a very long time. The Bartók paper cites a 1991 paper on its usage for signal processing. It's always interesting to me how useful cross-discipline research is.
This was "close?"
If they weren't engaging in speculation they wouldn't have bought mining equipment in the first place.
There goes my day! Nice work
Looks like Dustin Curtis got a job designing for Twitter!
I'm living in Melbourne and I am unaware of this. Wine and dessert? Surely you must be joking.
Interesting to hear from someone who actually made his Palm Pilot work well. I tried using one, but I've always found that a simple notepad and pocket calendar work better for me. YMMV, but based on what happened with the Navy's Palm Pilot program, most naval officers preferred the good old fashioned wheelbook or government-issue green logbook.
I think we're in agreement on a lot of things, but maybe you missed the context that it's about commercial real estate? In those kind of deals, legal threats are really common.

> Finally, there's the speculative gem that it will never get in front of the judge.

But it's not speculation - we're talking about a guy who made millions of dollars as a broker for massively large deals for half a decade, who never saw a case go all the way to court. In this context, forcing the other side to keep paying legal fees while you laugh it off works well.

I agree with the rest of your comment - context matters - but I think you might've missed the context written about here.
classic: "we'll do this this time but you need to show us how you did it so we can do it in house"
After years of doing contracting, I've found a general pattern where the clients that wanted to the pay the very least, tended to cause me the most headaches, cause the most scope creep, be the most anal, etc. I also found that doing fixed fee contracts were the most likely to cause both sides problems. I also found another interesting pattern where the clients who treated me with the most skepticism or paranoia ended up being the ones who themselves were the most problematic or dishonest with me. Another pattern I've seen is that whichever side throws out a dollar figure first, almost always "loses" in the negotiations (meaning, gets a deal that is less beneficial to them in terms of dollar cost/income.) General trends, not without exceptions.

Also, there's no such thing as a single standard rate. Varies by skill set, by person, by project, by time/situation, by non-monetary factors (the strategic benefits or opportunity costs of doing a deal/project, etc.) So when someone asks me what's my rate, it signals to me that they are, at least somewhat, a newbie and/or unsophisticated (even if "experienced"). Instead, you tell me what you (think you) want. I tell you whether (I think) I can provide that. We go back and forth. Then somebody (hopefully the other guy) throws out a figure. The other accepts or counter-proposes a different figure/terms. Back and forth. Then shake/sign on something. Move on. Repeat.
> If the lives of humans to whom the state is obligated would be improved by any number of onerous requirements imposed on corporations, the state certainly should impose those onerous requirements.

I agree with this. Which is why I wrote the state can choose to increase taxes. I have yet to be shown how requiring a company to pay dividends accomplishes the goal of improving the lives of humans.
That you feel you are identifying solutions, or even a definition, not understood or pursued by people creating things like microinequity training, just reveals your ignorance.

I think my earlier comment which you described as a “no u” comeback was actually really apt and crystal clearly accurate based on your follow-ups.
I work in the UK as a remote architect for a megacorp, working a 4-day week, 7.5h per day Mon-Thu. I work on projects all across Europe and Scandinavian. I moved to a 4-day week a long time back - something like 7 years, I guess.

Honestly, I get as much done in 4 days as I did in 5 - I really think it's a sweet spot, where you are forced to focus more for a shorter time.

Anyways, in terms of team working, obviously some meetings need to be either held without me, or not held on Fridays. Otherwise, it's simply never been an issue.

I've worked before with developers who work similar hours, and again it's never been a problem - we just adjust our sprint capacity/staffing accordingly.
