All you can do is seek your own joy. Expecting others to do that for you is setting expectations. Not sure why I got the downvotes, but I'm happy you got free of OSX. I'm still hanging in there...for now.
Your skepticism is probably good, but fasting (and its semi-related brother, caloric restriction) has been the subject of scientific investigation for a long time, so 'one-off' hardly captures the essence of it.
Perhaps that day will come. This project was recently started https://github.com/Araq/nim2pas
This might be a really bad question that is just as applicable to Node.js in general, but doesn't this get confusing distinguishing between the server-side and client-side aspects?
Oh, I love JSX.
I guess it depends where you are but UK cities are right up there with surveillance on public transport too, both trains and buses[0]. Transport for London have a system that detects if you're still on a platform after a train to each destination has departed, and alerts a human - ostensibly in case you're contemplating suicide or otherwise need help. It stands to reason that implementing the likes of facial recognition and "Gait DNA"[1] is high on the agenda if not already functional.

Not to mention the huge incentives (>50% discount) for using a traceable RFID card as your "ticket" instead of paying with cash.

"In October, the F.C.C. fined Marriott $600,000 for preventing customers from using their own Wi-Fi devices at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville. The commission said the hotel was charging people attending and exhibiting at a conference $250 to $1,000 per device to connect to the hotel-operated Wi-Fi service. Previously, the F.C.C. prohibited Boston’s Logan International Airport from blocking Wi-Fi networks set up by airline clubs."

It's pretty heavily implied by the article that this it intended to prevent circumvention of exorbitant rates.
Maybe it's different for technical positions, but most of the low-level jobs I've ever applied for have asked for Word documents to be sent. Agencies in particular get moany about sending PDFs (presumably because they want to be able to edit out identifying details of candidates, but who knows what else).
The market is recruitment (in house and agencies) - and knowing the types of products they still use because it "works for them" and how hard it is to get them to change workflows etc; I believe early adoption will be key. Only time will tell I guess, I'll be sure to do a "Show HN" when I am done!
You're not a weirdo here on HN, most of us probably have desktop/laptop computers. However, for the majority of the global population, they only have a mobile device as their computer. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/fact-sheet/mobile/

I feel like listening would be a good alternative, say when driving or doing house work. I hear long blog articles of yesteryear got replaced by audio formats (podcasts?), or audio books for whole books, but I’m too much of a geezer to learn and understand how to use them and try to figure out what’s good (hey at least with written stuff you can Scroll through quickly and see whether you like it, not so easy with audio).
The step from using fake stories for bringing attention to real issues to using fake stories for bringing attention to fake issues is worryingly small.

If everyone had your mindset it might happen without anyone realizing. Imagine everyone thinking "Sure my anecdote is false, but what does that matter when his and hers are true?"
"in the case of stones that are too large to move", yes. Other stones are smaller, mentioned at sizes of 3.5 or 2.8-3.1cm each, an easy size to carry. Not knowing much about the area they were used in, I'd say the quantity (6000 or so according to the article) is more limiting.
I got a package with some food and coffee yesterday. I imagine that kind of thing is the bulk of it; a quick glance shows they're out of stock of a very high number of staples.
Being a few inches taller changes your perspective of the world. You could go from average height to towering over most people. Don't underestimate the confidence and social and financial benefits that can bring.

Also, if you have to justify what you want to do to your own body by "expression", are you no longer allowed to decide what you want to eat, or whether you are allowed to sun tan? It's an absurd requirement for agency.
Yes, but the comment you're responding to isn't talking about shipping orders in, they're talking about orders (to end customers) of inventory they already have in the Amazon warehouse.
I live in a Pasadena and we have a fair amount of coyotes. It seems like they’re out in force based on everyone on Ring posting videos of coyotes running through yards.

Normally it’s one or twice a week, but scrolling through my neighborhood alerts now, it’s been everyday for the last week.

Can’t wait for the bears and mountain lions to get bored.
Thanks to my sweetie for directing me here.
I liked them too. Where's the first one from? It looks familiar...
If one were to assume that Bitcoin is a currency and its supply is fixed then the correction assumption is that the value of Bitcoin doesn't change. The expectation is that the dollar is losing value and thus you can exchange your Bitcoin for more dollars. However, this is missing that the maximum return would merely track inflation and thus Bitcoin is massively over performing which indicates immaturity of the asset or a bubble. Bitcoin has had so many bubbles it would be surprising if what we are currently experiencing is not a bubble.
> We’ve developed several anti-spoofing layers to make sure the system is secure.

I don't believe this vague blanket claim. How much are you paying somebody who proves you wrong? A million dollars? No? Then I should assume anybody who can spoof this and would like a million dollars might do so unless the total value secured is assured to be less than one million dollars (in which case I expect this project will be gone by summer).

XIX ends up capturing a huge amount of facial recognition data and then storing it somewhere indefinitely in "the cloud" to inevitably get stolen and then no doubt we can expect a PR crafted apology and an insistence you've learned your lesson.

Every single time a person authenticates, video of their face is transmitted over the network. I have no doubt you'll say it's ephemeral and you don't store that video, but of course the users have no way to assure themselves of that, they just know they sent it.

Overall my impression is that this delivers markedly worse real world security than WebAuthn and has terrible privacy issues that can't be fixed.
A video linked to the post answers both questions, in a pretty elegant setup, for an 6m single-occupant van:

Bathing:

- Sponge bath, external shower hookup, or an internal shower, are common. Using gym / campground / community centre facilities is also frequent, loss of these a major fallout of Covid. Taking a "navy shower" minimises water use. There are recirculating showers (with filters) used by some, and instant-on-demand hot water heaters (used by most). The video shows a bathroom built into cabinets which opens for use, shower curtail is pulled up. Fixed-wall stalls exist but really chew into space, often double as closet space.

- Cassette or composting toilets latter w/ urine diverter, are common. Again, using available facilities is often preferred.

- Winter is easy: a small heater and insulation. Condensation is a bigger worry than cold, especially against the front windshield. Summer heat is generally worse --- keeping a metal box under full sun cool is a challenge. Especially where solar exposure is needed.
The more important thing about DirectStorage is probably that it will encourage games to use multithreaded async IO rather than serializing all their IO requests even when the underlying storage device requires dozens of simultaneous requests to deliver its full throughput.
The class mentioned in the article was actually made available under Creative Commons by the MIT OpenCourseWare[1], you can see the entirely of the course in Youtube. I watched and cannot recommend it enough, even for seasoned programmers

> Also bear in mind that this was lesson 1 of an intro programming course

Back in '83 when the author took 6.001 only a minority of students had previously used a computer (note that Hal is quoted as having said, “If you already know how to program..." (emphasis mine). For the majority of students back then this wasn't just "introduction to programming" but "introduction to computers".

Lots of non-EECS students took the class.
I too was on btech 3065 back in the day! Good memories of hanging out with people from all over the world. My dad got really mad when I hogged the phone line for hours.
Configuration profiles can list a set of Wi-Fi networks to exclude from your DoH config, for exactly this reason.
I’m curious since you actually went through the effort to be a part of the org: why do we need to formalize everything?

Why not just get kids together to play baseball?

Why capital Little capital League?

Why do we have to normalize towards an organizational system?

Academically it all makes sense; our scientific truth must be rigorously vetted.

This all just feels like busy work for no gain for most people. I really don’t get the fucking point?

Is it so hard to set up a game between your kids and others as human beings? Why pomp and circumstance?
> actually measure performance and try to improve it

This really rings truest to me: I find it hard to believe nobody ever plays their own game but I’d easily believe that the internal culture doesn’t encourage anyone to do something about it. It’s pretty easy to imagine a hostile dev-QA relationship or management keeping everyone busy enough that it’s been in the backlog since it’s not causing crashes. After all, if you cut “overhead” enough you might turn a $1B game into a $1.5B one, right?
Wow, thanks! Can't believe I missed that....
I know that this is off topic, but what a beautifully designed website!
To be honest, the only language I've really taken an interest in for the past few months has been Jonathan Blow's Jai, which isn't available yet.
> How do you feel about the saying that code itself should be as good as documentation?

Not him, but I'll take a crack at it: adorable, high-minded, and wrong. Most people are not going to walk through your code to grasp it in its entirety; design, and document, accordingly.

At the very least, you should have exhaustive, well-considered, commented unit and integration tests to demonstrate its use cases and (foreseeable) failure modes.
It's about a practical hybrid approach to agile. This approach won't solve every project management problem, but it tackles several, among them:

a) Lack of overall control of project scope in Agile-mangaged projects.

b) Lack of tactical flexibility, especially in resource assignment, in "waterfall" style project management
Thanks. Something felt off about the article and now that you mention it... the lack of a conclusion is quite off-putting.
In my experience I have encountered several firms that use oDesk with VERY healthy hourly pay to make up for healthcare benefits, retirement, etc. Equity becomes a mess, but the folks I talked to were definitely not 'second class citizens' in the company, and were just as respected as any non-remote dev.
> This would of course require all manner of warnings

Ok, now try and word one of those so that regular folk understand what the heck it is saying. And your "legacy mode" means HTTP is still supported.

There is nothing wrong with deprecating HTTP over bare TCP, but being completely unsupported in the near future is unworkable. Everyone including this effort is about a slow steady migration.
In my experience code bloat from templates comes mostly from libraries whose authors are much less skilled than those of the standard library.
I disagree, but you will likely get your wish

> I'd like to have a Signal client library that I could use to write my own custom lightweight client.

You already have that. Signal-cli is based on a standalone Java library distributed as part of the Signal codebase. Of course it is an unofficial client and the Signal team would really prefer you not use it, but if the Signal-cli team can develop something from that library, you probably could too.
All of these efforts are happening to prevent Trump supporters from speaking. I'm certain you would not apply the same judgement to Trump supporters who are just speaking about violence, would you?
Unfortunately we don't live in that world anymore.

There is a major opposition movement growing, and it pains me to say it but Trump was right in his last speech.

'This is just the beginning'
the people on these communities creates their alternative reality. selectively avoid news/information that can burst their bubble. its the same with /r/politics. both living in massive bubbles with complete opposite realities.

the difference is that r/the_donald is more violent. They cordinate gatherings, "attacks", a violent protests.

r/politics which is liberal bubble is more peaceful but both these communites censor opposing views and is dangerous to democracy
They had access to a much larger community on Reddit. This way you have to try to find the site, and you won’t just have it appear on your /r/all or front page
The 1960s and 1970s saw a reckoning in the USA that while not complete, did result in a number of people with substantially incorrect views eventually coming about to a more sensible position.

Similar victories have been achieved with respect to drug legalization and "gay marriage".

None of these victories are or ever will be complete but a combination of discussion and social pressure did make significant social progress possible.
Half the population? Maybe half of the remaining 20% of the population.
The first amendment doesn't apply to private platforms or spaces.

Perhaps it should when those platforms develop monopoly levels of control over distribution.
They don't have not understand boundaries, they can't see beyond the tip of their nose, and as long as Amazon is still delivering, this will never end.
You know, if these people weren't pushed off the mainstream platforms they may have been de-radicalized by regular people before things got worse. Just look at how QAnon festered underground until it was too late to get rid of.
Oh my yes! That would be amazing.
A time lapse would be awesome!
There had been a weak password on the update server in the past. The compromised update however was introduced via the build system before being signed and distributed

Can't disagree with you more here. Databricks is a tool. It's on you to create your frameworks or whatever to optimize your workflow. I've been using Databricks and it's such a great platform, at least compared to what I've used in the past (EMR/Sagemaker). Simply build a framework where you offload the notebooks and exploratory stuff to databricks and build out productionable pipelines locally using sample data from dbricks, then test on databricks. That's what we've been doing and it's working very nicely. Furthermore you can remotely kick off jobs on databricks, so once you have your pipeline worked out you really don't need to interact with notebooks if you don't want...just use it as a scalable backend, dashboard, model tracker, whatever fits in your workflow.

I feel like instead of using the tool a lot of folks have specific expectations and if the tool doesn't fit exactly into how they work then it's just written off.
That's because they lose lift though. For a turbine, that wouldn't matter (at least directly).

I have to imagine it's really the overall weight or the unbalanced weight not being good for the bearings and such. Not to mention a blade flinging a piece of ice off when it starts to melt...
There is some danger in publicly adopting a "science has become religion" position. Just as "trust the science" can be used as a rhetorical weapon, "science has become another religion" can be too .. and usually to more dangerous effect because a lot of what is essentially known bullshit (see https://www.callingbullshit.org) gets accommodated by the latter compared to the former.

There are reasonable accepted empirical approaches in accepted use today. Any team that follows these methods and reports honestly can be trusted more than a team that doesn't.

Also "trust" is a loaded word .. but mostly we just mean "predictability" - ex: to "trust someone" means to be sure that if you know what they've said, you can predict what they'll do. Much of empirical science is about offering up data and models that aid such predictability, so declaring "trust the science is extinct" is an outright rejection of these empirical methods (ex: randomised control trials) that have taken a long time to mature and take root as standard practice.

What is needed though is to be able to separate the science from policy making. As Dietrich Dörner has shown in "The Logic of Failure" [1], folks in the hard sciences don't fare very well when policy making in systems with complex causally interconnected parts is tasked upon them due to learnt heuristics that don't fare well in that world.

Let science do its thing - which is inform and educate. Let policies be made by those with more full understanding of the system into which changes need to be effected.

I find it curious that they would quote an executive on this. I doubt any of them have gotten their hands dirty on real code in years. Microsoft alone employs thousands of people more qualified to speak on the subject.
can anyone way in on how Zendo stacks up to TextSecure?
But there were 4 legal floors, which is apparently what is there now. Why were those floors abandoned?
They are doing it the other way round from the gnomes though.

They are starting with profit, are not sure about the middle, but know that if it all works then they are definitely going to have to collect some new underpants.
Essentially it's a culture of elitism. Reminds me of Ivy League. It can work, but it's hard to scale and in my experience it's very hard to avoid a monoculture.

How diverse is the population of engineers at Netflix compared to other public tech companies at a similar stage?

A high-performing culture that emphasizes mentorship is better IMO.
I liked the information about salary negotiation.
> Email is a generic concept - it's not proprietary

Concepts can't be proprietary altogether. You can't own ideas. Instant messaging isn't proprietary either.

> A message sent through Whatsapp is an instance of the whatsapp application - not a standard message.

If you are talking about certain implementation of ideas being proprietary - that's exactly the point of my original comment. Making it intentionally incompatible to "control the market" is crooked lock-in tactic. Which is especially the case with Whatsapp which internally uses XMPP which was designed for interoperability and as IETF standard.

And I brought examples with e-mail. A long time ago Compuserve and AOL e-mail services used to be incompatible on purpose. But pressure from users to end that stupidity forced them to reconsider. There is no valid reason that a lot of IM services can't interoperate to a good degree. Except for greed and backwards thinking.
I didn't have to re-scan the QR code when I got into work this morning after setting it up yesterday.
If they had put it there themselves, I'd agree with you. They haven't. They have an automated system that accepts content from users.

Bear in mind that there is not and is unlikely to ever be any kind of system that can determine what color your bits are with any kind of reliability.
"curing aging" would actually INCREASE the cost of healthcare to nearly infinite.
I got my first job after college through a posting on efinancialcareers.com that turned out to be a recruiter. I got my current (and second job) at a startup through a posting on LinkedIn.

I recommend going to meetups through meetup.com and checking the message boards and email lists for those meetups. Plenty of quality leads through Meetup.
US leaders did do almost everything wrong until well into the war.

They were saved from their mistakes by superior equipment (especially aircraft) and eventually better and more experience personnel. They didn't start tactically winning battles until well into the Pacific Campaign.

God. Justified text is the most annoying thing in the entire world.
Like catch404 mentioned, I'm not seeing the connection to Daring Fireball. The website is rather chaotic-looking with banner ads, embedded videos and columns everywhere.
It sounds like she's worried about practicalities too, though, not only relationship with family. She indicated she's willing to cut ties after she finishes school, but they're currently financially supporting her studies. If she graduates from a university in Spain she has a much better chance of getting a job & work permit to stay in Europe.

It's possible she could stay in Spain even if they cut off support, but it's not anything like a guarantee. Officially the default in most European countries is that if you're on a student visa and no longer have the ability to study full-time and support yourself, you get deported. It might be possible to support oneself on part-time jobs, though youth unemployment is very high in Spain currently even among Spaniards. It might be possible to claim asylum, but that is not easy either (Spain grants asylum rarely, <250 people/yr typically). Not sure what the right answer is.
AGGRESSIVE much? :)
> The proper control group would be people with COVID who didn't go through the lockdowns.

No, they were studying the effects of COVID, not the effects of lockdowns. Your suggestion is controlling for the wrong variable.
I remember seeing this on Shark Tank years ago and didn't think much of it. Now I have a toddler who always goes after our phones so maybe this will be a good gift for him.
How it was interpreted was a mere interpretation in itself on Twitter's part. You can get rid of literally anyone for any reason if this is the standard.

How about we get rid of these 'white privilege' theories, because people are interpreting it as if every single white person is somehow inherently racist and evil?
> Anxiety, at 17%, and mood disorders, at 14%, were the most common, and did not appear to be related to how mild or severe the patient’s COVID-19 infection had been.
That's strange... I don't get that when I test it out (and this is the first we've heard of it). Could you email team@uxtools.co with more info?
Yes, exactly. I did SPAs with ClojureScript for a while, but lately I've switched to server-side rendering with Rum. This post popped out at me since I've been thinking about options for adding interactivity to the front end without adding a build step.
Didn't see any stats for the 'control group'. Not sure how big the effect actually is?
Low exposure risk assumes an incidence of 2 per 10,000.
>Not sure this will work for very long.

Maybe if it gets popular. Defeating chunking would require additional memory + compute power on the DPI boxes, which I suspect ISPs don't want to bear.
