I like to think of different tranches of emergency too, and keep different emergency funds in different vehicles for each type of emergency. General cooling off of the market? Hold Series I bonds or some security that's pretty much as good as cash but has a small amount of growth. Sudden unemployment? Cash in a money market account. Natural disaster like an earthquake that may limit your access to financial institutions? Cash stuffed in the mattress. The zombie apocalypse? Ammunition and bottled water.

Have a little bit of your emergency fund in each of these.
Some would say this is equivalent to "we've got no better ideas, here, see if you can put the capital to work".

Given they are known for expert capital allocation that'd undermine investor confidence.
The main problem with today's society is the power imbalance. If we can solve that, we'll flourish.
> What is a national border anyway if you define yourself more by your tribe than your so called nation?

Largely irrelevant.

The nation state concept was rolled out worldwide over the last 300 years.

It introduces some opportunities like compartmentalizing laws to your advantage but it isn't really relevant to the land.
Encrypting backups won't encrypt the original file on your phone.
The benefit of using the whole jQuery library on a single page is that it will likely already be cached, particularly if you are using the Google version.

The largest time expenditure is on the loading from an external server, not the processing once it is local. Don't think the author understands this.
I'll admit I'm in the category of color-first car shoppers. Well-done and quite beautiful. Outside of color and type I might add in price next and mpg. Then hand the search off to another engine to let folks fine-tune criteria. Don't get too bogged down in needing all the data.
Yes it's a great tool, but this isn't exactly "news". Just Google rubular site:news.ycombinator.com
I'm surprised. 81 comments in and nobody commented on the real reason why you work best in the coffee shop: that's where all the hot people are.

You don't go there to work. You go there to look busy while you people watch and maybe- just maybe, get somebody's attention. As a result, you get a lot of work done, because you can only surf idly for so long alone.

Its like the gym, except more fattening.

:)
But I'm not sure the existence of this specific feature in the language supports any particular generalizations about a "Japanese mindset."

It doesn't, of course!

I thought about making that point explicitly, but eventually decided that the OP was obviously a big joke so I might as well go along with it. ;)

One of the most fun things to do in linguistics class is to identify the supposedly-unique features of odd foreign languages and then find them in English. Using tone to convey meaning? I think you might be able to come up with some kind of example. Using clicks as phonemes? Tsk, tsk, tsk. And so on. And English has formal and informal modes. There's studies showing that, like, people speaking to each other informally, like, use all these, um, little interjections, for which they are sometimes mocked as inarticulate. But put them in a different social situation, and their speech tends to become more formal and those "likes" disappear.

English has lost most of German's fancy gender and case-marking systems, but there are fascinating residues left over. I forget the detailed examples; hopefully I kept my notes from that class.
I've read about meditation, and a consensus I'd seen was that you're not doing it right if you need an external aid. You're supposed to learn to do it on your own entirely.
To me, it just seemed like they were having fun with it. I didn't sense any bitterness. Not being from the US, I didn't connect the dots about who the multi-billion dollar company is. Now that I understand, I still don't think the approach lacks class.
These students (or their parents) are paying UCF to provide them with this education and then to certify their education with a diploma.

The responsibility does not fall to the students to inform a professor that due to his own laziness they, through entirely moral and acceptable means, had already studied these exact questions.It's not a student's responsibility to tell the professor how to do his job.

He failed his students. Period. Calling it anything else is putting frosting on dogshit.

Moral fiber plays no role here. They didn't stay silent as some unspeakable wrong occurred. They studied a publicly available guide. It comes down to this. Is it the students' responsibility to inform a professor every single time they see a test question that they recognize or is it the professors responsibility to prepare a proper test of their knowledge?
Yep, plenty of C modules do hacks to block access except through the defined API. Most are content simply to use void pointers in public header files, but some do nasty things like generating a random integer at library initialisation time and xor'ing all returned pointers by that number before returning it. (Eww.)
Given that this angel wants an equal stake and directorship, and has said that he wants to live the start-up life vicariously through you I would expect him to be quite hands on in his role with your company. Expect him to try to make a lot of decisions about how the company should be run. So, don't bring him on unless you would also be comfortable having him as a co-founder.

I would recommend trying to stick it out. If you want inspiration, watch Brian Chesky's talk at Start-up School. AirBnB went through exactly what you are going through, and in the end it worked out for them.

Good luck!
Well, compared to quite a few jobs I have held, programming is fun. Will you find more fun and fulfillment as a bus boy in a restaurant? As a delivery driver?
That blog post (and the comments at the end) sure give a really different impression of the event than the article.
If you're just burning living expense, you could find some short term part-time consulting work. This would slow you down a bit, but if you believe you'll be either cash-flow positive or able to get a much higher valuation after another couple of months of work, it may be worth it.

Also, would you hire this guy to be your first employee? Would you have founded the company with him in the first place? He's basically asking to be in at that level, so if he's not the right person, there's more to be worried about than the valuation.
A test should require a student to synthesize and apply information he or she has learned to solve a problem. If the students truly did not know that they were looking at the actual test they would be taking, all they have proven is that they have learned the information they were supposed to learn.

Thus, we are faced with two alternatives:
* That the students memorized the test questions and answers knowing full well that they would be presented with those exact questions for the real examination and then lied about it to appear less culpable
* That the students studied from a variety of sources, learned the information they were supposed to learn, and then happened to get lucky because one of the direct sources they had studied from happened to be the test that they took--in this case, the test has accomplished its purpose
Does anyone know if there is a website that hosts the major containers like Docker openly with public shell access to prove security? Perhaps they could be assigned a rating of the number of hours they lasted before someone escaped to host. It seems to me that we need a registry of ONLY containers and images that have stood the test of time.

The page would provide a shell which anyone could use to try to break out of the container. They'd have use of any tools that an exploited container would have, including apt-get and even root access. Ideally all ports would be closed and there would be no host network or volume access. But there could be tiers for each level of communication available.

This would give us one of two outcomes:

1) Secure containers and images would be found.

Or more likely (due to Spectre, Heartbleed, Meltdown, Rowhammer, etc, etc, etc, not to mention the countless kernel exploits and unpublicized hacks):

2) We'd find that there are currently no secure containers or images and we're all living in a fantasy.

My feeling is that #2 will be the outcome, but that there's nothing mathematically insecure about containers. It's just that we've lived under conceptually incorrect paradigms for so long that it's easier to buy into denial than decide to start over and rewrite the bad parts.
If the NYT went digging and found a friend of Alexander's who revealed his name, this would have maybe some weight (but probably not: journalists write stories about people who would prefer, for economic reasons, not to be identified all of the time; that is often the point), but in this case, all they did was Google. I'm sorry, I still can't see the real-world rule that requires the New York Times to pretend that you can't just Google a pseudonym to unmask it.
This is amazing. I had never heard of that Lenny chatbot, but the possibilities are endless.
Thanks! We're continuing to develop and iterate the final product, and we hope that this program will provide some early user feedback. Current and new users will have their reports updated as we make changes and add new features.
When I referred to "logarithmic domain", I'm not talking about a purely log/exp transfer function, but one that is "log like". Perhaps it is more accurate to say "non-linear domain"... but I hope you get the idea. :)

The sRGB transfer function is piecewise linear + exponential but can be closely approximated by a simple exponential with \gamma ~= 2.2 [1]. Either way, the encoding between linear and non-linear is generally referred to as "gamma correction", even when using a transfer function that is not a simple exponential.

Not at all since "case _:" is assigning to a variable you do not care about.
>as a reader who's never been particularly impressed by the possibility of it being lab-created

It need not be "lab-created". Most samples are taken from the wild, and then has its evolution stimulated for research.
Congratulations on not needing to send a wire transfer or ACH during the outage. For anyone who was expecting to do that, it was literally unusable.

Your take is like claiming a major AWS outage didn’t happen because you personally didn’t get on the Internet that day.
And continue chasing you around for months after you've made the actual purchase and are no longer interested in the product.
I remember something being off in Vultr $2.50 offer which made me stop halfway during sign-up. Had to go to https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/ again to remind myself: $2.50 VPS does not come with an IPv4 address. At least today they openly mark it and I think 5 years ago you'd only find it after a few clicks.
Bernie Sanders is now the Chair of the Senate Budget Committee. He's not irrelevant, that's a position with actual power. His committee is the one from which the current 1.9T stimulus bill originates, for instance. That bill doesn't get passed without going through him first. That's far from irrelevant.
They pushed out v19 on Android to ensure it wasn't the best version. 18.9 unmaintained is better than 19 on the other platforms, which is sad. I run Kodi on a FireTV Cube and it looks like I won't be updating from 18.9 for a very long time.

It'd be interesting to know if the folks who worked on Android walked off stage (to use your words) due to the additional fuss with the Python 3 switch.

This whole thing is really yet-another fault of Python 3, heck of a legacy. Probably the worst and least advantageous break, in one of the more popular programming languages, ever. You could blame the maintainers for embracing it. I'm not a Python expert, but there is no good answer other than stop supporting programming languages with poor backwards compatibility. An option may have been something like a transitional measure in the system that addons import Python-Future or they won't work, and after a year or two of that, release a version of Kodi that is Python 3 only.
Otherwise known as credit, which has been the prevailing valuation since the Stone Age.
Even more important to understand that we humans as a species are extraordinarily poor at understanding complex systems. Larger, older organizations will become complex over time, and complexity increases at higher than linear rates. This is why a lean, happy startup at 50 employees often becomes an unmanageable disaster at 200 employees.

Human societies have become incredibly more complex over time, and development of communication has contributed to it.

The point I am trying to make here is that this is not cultural decline, but rather a society that has grown incredibly more complex, while we humans have not learnt how to deal with it.
I don't. I think the gist of it was a YouTuber instructing probably-younger, less-experienced people to issue spammy PRs (e.g. small update to READMEs).
> What are your thoughts, Dear Reader?

Honestly? Like you wrote, everything's going to be copied anyway, better don't let it cause frustration. It's just information, something we've never controlled successfully before the digital age and haven't given up trying to control on the web yet.

If we didn't try to (pointlessly really) fight over attention from search engines and revenue from annoying ads where we ought to put our content, it wouldn't be such a big issue and the world would probably a better place if people published stuff because they thought it would matter to do so, not for ad revenue.
It's a pity they don't have akamai/cloudfront or something, it seems they are getting crushed.

So whomever is running 27 simultaneous downloads, please stop. You'll never read all those books.
He's no longer useful to them for generating traffic and user data.
Rightwing posters on FB/Twitter/HN: "It is our right to organize an coup on your platform!!!1"

Start your own goddamn website! Zuck and Jack don't owe you anything.
I wonder if the amount of labor required to type corrections is a better explanation than not wanting to pay for binding.
Yup, after years of trying to make nextcloud, syncthing, etc work for my workflow (copy from flat photos folder on device -> flat photos staging folder on backup server, then a cron job organizes it into folders by year/month), I finally resorted to something manual. Termux + rsync on android. Every few days, I run the termux shortcut to rsync a folder, and delete what's copied over from my device. It just works.

A casual stroll through Wikipedia on the topics of health quickly teaches that exercise is connected to well-being of pretty much every system of the body. Including that it has anti-inflammatory effect because muscle secretes some stuff to that end, when working.

Considering that human's advantage in open-savanna hunting over animals was that humans could run steadily for dozens of kilometers without overheating, thanks to lack of fur and hence to effective sweating—I keep wondering just how much daily movement is ‘normal’ for the body. Because it sounds like we all have severely sedentary lifestyle, by prehistoric standards.
YouTube fed me a video I’d watched a couple years ago about a log searching tool. Compressed data, decompressed into cpu cache, and then scanned. Almost no indexing at all, just cpu cache for speed.

We spend a lot of time arguing with the cpu. If we give it something it’s actually happy doing, it almost doesn’t matter how stupid that thing is, because it’s stupid fast.
Gay prisoners liberated from the concentration camps (they were marked with a pink triangle) were sent back to prison for the crime of homosexuality.

And the Allies were little better - Alan Turing was convicted of homosexuality, chemically castrated and stripped of his security clearance and eventually committed suicide.

Those attitudes were absolutely the norm at the time. As was anti-semitism, which while not as virulent as in Germany, was not at all uncommon in the West at the time, particularly among American business leaders. IBM wasn't as much of an anomaly as people want to believe.
It's a bit hidden (or rather not pronounced enough) in the general docs but there are performance implications of using CTEs:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/queries-with.html

> A useful property of WITH queries is that they are normally evaluated only once per execution of the parent query, even if they are referred to more than once by the parent query or sibling WITH queries. Thus, expensive calculations that are needed in multiple places can be placed within a WITH query to avoid redundant work. Another possible application is to prevent unwanted multiple evaluations of functions with side-effects. However, the other side of this coin is that the optimizer is not able to push restrictions from the parent query down into a multiply-referenced WITH query, since that might affect all uses of the WITH query's output when it should affect only one. The multiply-referenced WITH query will be evaluated as written, without suppression of rows that the parent query might discard afterwards. (But, as mentioned above, evaluation might stop early if the reference(s) to the query demand only a limited number of rows.)

> However, if a WITH query is non-recursive and side-effect-free (that is, it is a SELECT containing no volatile functions) then it can be folded into the parent query, allowing joint optimization of the two query levels. By default, this happens if the parent query references the WITH query just once, but not if it references the WITH query more than once. You can override that decision by specifying MATERIALIZED to force separate calculation of the WITH query, or by specifying NOT MATERIALIZED to force it to be merged into the parent query. The latter choice risks duplicate computation of the WITH query, but it can still give a net savings if each usage of the WITH query needs only a small part of the WITH query's full output.

There are some examples below this text as well.
This is unhelpful quibbling over the semantics of one word. You know what I meant. Everyone knows what I meant. I even explained in more detail what I meant. You're also wrong about the word, but I'm not going to bother arguing that here.

Please refrain from writing "this meat smells funny" comments on HN. You could go around commenting on typos too, which happen all the time, but that's not at all helpful.
> Well, I worked at Apple for about NN years. ... If Apple was claiming it cared about privacy, but was secretly doing the opposite, I think this fact would not remain secret.

> I will give one more concrete example: the crash reporter system would send me a detailed stack trace, but NOT the original document. I was told explicitly that this was done for reasons of privacy ... I had no idea who the user was or what was in the document.

So you’ve had access to everything at Apple in your long career there, investigated it deeply the whole time and you’ve found nothing out of sorts. Got it.

This jives with what I’ve read about Apple’s internal culture - that there’s no compartmentalization at all and employees can roam freely around the halls collecting whatever information they want from any department.

I feel good now that you’ve investigated your own company and found no issues! Police unions should look into using this tactic of self-investigation. It seems quite effective!

(I hope I protected your privacy by removing the irrelevant parts of your comment. Sorry I had to paste them in there but you deleted them and then my response made no sense.

Also, sorry to have to use all of that sarcasm but you could’ve just answered the question. It’s Apple. Apple investigates if Apple apps for doing any sort of improper data collection.)
Norman Golb's hypothesis here was hardly obscure, being frequently covered in Biblical Archeology Review, not to mention actual scholarly journals. I suspect you've found yourself in a confessional bubble.
Sometimes it feels like these processes work like radioactive decay. They don't make progress, they just suddenly happen.
This is a theoretically more pure solution because you are trying to break down compatibility to its common factors, the processor, and then do as little work as possible to get it to the point of portability. Less abstraction than other solutions. The holy grail would be a generalised solution for any processor, using nothing but electrical engineering first principles, but I don't know if that's possible and maybe the better solution is to just not have the frankenstein's monster of hardware we have today.
Well, they argue they shouldn’t be criticized because they think the criticisms are wrong. But isn’t that just disagreement, in the same blunt style you acknowledge is common? I don’t see many voices saying (and Alexander certainly didn’t say) that Cade Metz should be fired or nobody should read the NYT.

Does anyone know if there is any way to run another exe/binary that its bundled in a cross platform app, while its all enclosed in 1 binary file?

Because Cosmo could work as a wrapper of windows/mac/linux binary executables and then the cosmo app can decide which one to invoke.

Based on my understanding if program A is to run program B, program B needs to be addressable in the filesystem. So based on my testing, the bundled executables need to be written to disk first and then the main program could run them. This also might work with macos .app folder formats but not sure how to do it on linux to avoid chmod +x issues and how to have 1 binary file on windows.

Any ideas?
This change of president will pull out a lot of stuff from under the rug. This is going to be epic.
I had the same excitement for tpot! That project was the reason i started creating mine.
One thing that I'm confused about though. If the two lenses are at fixed depths (i.e. 1X vs. 3X), does this mean that the benefits of better low light, blurred backgrounds, and augmented reality will only be supported at the largest depth (3X), since most of the information would not be available for the same shot at 1X (i.e. the 3X shot is missing two-thirds of the information)?

For example, how can it improve low light on the 1X shot for the pixels outside of the 3X frame?
Hopefully your Yubikey was manufactured AFTER the last bug in the (Infineon) key generation library was found and fixed.
Nice! Thanks to you we just reached level 3: The complainers of complainers of complainers! Level 4 is coming!
Talking about international relations as if they were people isn't a valid model. Imagine a wild-west world without a common justice system, where the justice you receive is based on the justice you can afford to obtain; that is the resources you have. That is the international world.

So, what do we do about SA? refuse to buy oil from them, weakening the US global position and hope that causes less harm than the actions of SA itself?

Go to war with SA, payed for in dead American soldiers, and hope that the reputation of the US doesn't suffer as a result, esp as Americas enemies spin the even as another example of American Imperialism / justify their own invasions?
>>Anyway, I look at this like the lottery, but in reverse. Sometimes you lose the reverse lottery and a day of your life gets fucked up. But ultimately, life moves on and you have an interesting story. You can say that the government is an oppressive regime that is out to get you for your political views, or you can say you rolled the dice and lost.

The view you have expressed here demonstrates that you have literally no idea what you are talking about.

It is not a "lottery" when the TSA and their goons are profiling people based on race, religion, income, and a host of other criteria.
