What's wrong with the articles at Tom's Hardware like "System Builder Marathon, June 2010: $550 Gaming PC" -
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-gpu-overclock,2659.h...

I found it very clear and informative. They also have $1000 and $2000 guides.
Job security. Governments are more stable than big corporations, and are liable to have any cost-cutting initiatives neutered.

That, or wanting to live in the DC area. Some very large percentage of the jobs there are either government or government contractors.
Firefox has a bootload of add-ons. I might be wrong but I don't think Chrome's got as many extensions.
I work as a fairly senior SWE at Google, coming off 20+ years with private offices (some of that time full-time remote), and I agree with everything you said. I knew it would be hard going into the job. I actually get up at 5am so I can have a few quiet hours at my desk before the rest of the folks show up & it turns into a total zoo.
I think they have done a great job doing things that don'f scale. Also they have a lot of paying customers and traction.

But I am worried that this might be a solo founder type team. We invest in teams, not just products. You'd be surprised how many times an idea changes midway through the project, and you will need each other to keep going.
Thanks! This is really great trick. I will obviously use less +F for tailing single file.

Meanwhile, tail -f still useful for simple tailing to multiple machine, like

function dogfight_tail {
logfile=/var/log/nginx/access.log
pids=""
for box in 02 03; do
ssh lb$box tail -f $logfile | grep " 500 " & # find error machines
pids="$pids $!"
done
trap 'kill -9 $pids' SIGINT
trap wait
}

dogfight_tail
...or use multi-tail
I'm sorry who is using RJ45 ports on a laptop these days? Seems like that question was asked and answered years ago, and wifi has won.
Great story. I didn't plan on reading it; 1 hour later...
Books, essays, and other long-form prose where you can present your whole position at once.

So if someone wrote an essay about net-neutrality (which is almost entirely a political issue), that shouldn't be posted or discussed here?
-1. With hindsight it's easy to make a comment like yours, but many clients rely on the status_id to be monotonic.

You would be changing behavior in a way that breaks apps. Twitter doesn't want to do that.
It's like the Israilies say: We screen with insane technology but never look the person in the eyes and ask them a straightforward question to see if they are unnecessarily stressed. You would get through security only if you were completely unstressed about having the knife and probably forgot about it.
What you're talking about are your opinions and your personal philosophical beliefs of only tangential relevance to technology. Discussing them is not what I signed up here for. You wanna talk about it? I have a reddit account, you know?
Dancer is very easy to get started with, and very simple to deploy. If you have a small project with using perl in mind, it might be worth checking out. The documentation is okay, but getting better surely. If you have any quick questions about Dancer, I'd recommend checking out the project's IRC channel.
If you're a retailer, you're not looking so much at the browser percentage, but rather at the revenue percentage, which is about 1.6% for us. Enough to care about. We don't optimize for IE6, but we do make sure the site functions on it.

Interestingly smartphone traffic and sales are approaching IE6 traffic levels and they will probably cross soon.
I don't think start-ups compete against each other. there's 1 800lb gorilla in the room and it ain't blekko or ddg. Partnering to make both of their services better makes alot of sense.
"he amassed his fortune through monopolistic practices "

Big fucking deal, welcome to business. Jobs/Apple would/is doing the same thing every chance they have. When Jobs starts to spend his billions for charity (yes Steve you will be obligated some day) are we going to complain because he threw his weight around ala MS in the industries Apple dominated? No, we'll hopefully be able to thank him for his huge gift to humanity just like we should be doing to Gates right now. I'm sorry but whether or not Flash is allowed on the iPhone doesn't mean a a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

When you're saving lives around the world by the millions suddenly what browser shipped with your OS back in the 90's looks like a whole lot less important.
Gruber hasn't changed in the slightest. The only thing that has changed is sentiment here towards Apple. Because you disagree with him, you're more likely to judge him harshly.

I don't agree with him entirely often either, but god am I glad there's someone making the case for the App Store, mostly coherently.

Tech is driven by sentiment much more than people would like to admit. Android was a not-quite-there until IO 2010, now it's the new hot. What changed? Very little, technically. A lot, rhetorically.

Same here.
I thought this was a headline for The Onion
Really? Name three other constraints on philosophy.

Note: They must apply to philosophers of antiquity and modularity, secular and of faith, eastern and western, human and non human etc.
Note that there is a Google data center in Uganda. When I was there a few years ago, uplinks back to the US were incredibly slow; however, any time I wanted to hit Google, it was pretty damn fast (considering it was a 64k shared DSL line that served an entire business park).
You're paying yourself? I would highly suggest keeping as much cash in the business as possible and put off paying yourself for as long as possible. You'll suffer now but thank yourself later. Get entrepreneurial on how to score free rent and food.

its kind of a pain to do in a text box. variable width fonts make it harder to read. Would have also been nice to have an actual javascript repl. Was a bit shaky on tree traversal, but I think that's correct. Also not intimately familiar with javascript stdlib.
This is about Arthur O'Dwyer, a convicted sex offender, who drugged and raped his victim, and was caught in possession of child pornography. And the efforts of the ISO C++ leadership to cover this up and retaliate against anyone in the community who complains about him being offered committee seats, conference organizer and speaker roles, and other positions of authority.

Hey HN, I made this because I wanted a fast editing experience when making flowcharts. Other tools (bottom)require clicking and dragging (or editing code). Knotend is keyboard centric and is supposed to feel more like editing a doc than dragging around boxes and arrows.

I've tested in on safari and chrome desktop. Its difficult to use on mobile but you can view existing charts.

I'd appreciate your feedback on how you use it, the design, any bugs etc. Thank you.

EDIT: fixed the bug on Safari with escape clobbering edited text
It should be seized and compensated with eminent domain.

Buying implies right of refusal and no, I don't think that Target should be able to stockpile N95 masks in its warehouses.
During January the official line from the WHO was that there was limited transmission between people. Should Twitter have been removing any tweets which contradicted the WHO's position at this time under the 'misinformation' rules? I think it is important people are able to express opinions that contradict the 'official' knowledge.
Because you're going to die and your body is going to decay and those extra inches mean absolutely nothing.
>How about we blame the government for not ramping up production of masks back in January

or not having a strategic reserve of masks, gloves and suits in a giant warehouse somewhere. You could rotate the stock though the marketplace during safe times so it would cost little. Probably less than the CDCs $110 million dollar visitors center.

What kind of pandemic was the government preparing for? One that did not need n95 masks and disposable gloves? One that wouldn't see a shortage of PPE?
I can see this working in small countries/cities, but this is what they tried in the UK and have no resorted to a total lockdown because it's not working.
Fascinating. So it’s both: it conducts to air quickly, but to itself slowly.
Are you certain it only subtracts from fat? From my understanding, you will also lose muscle too (especially without exercise)
Actually, we do produce masks. Right here in the US.

We just didn't order up enough in the ramp up to prepare for the surge the way the government did in Singapore.

As to the question of competence, well, I guess maybe I should demand the eastern level of competence out of my leaders. But what good does it do to demand something that you know from the outset your leaders are not capable of? We have the leaders we have. I can't change that right now. The only thing we can do collectively is to try to get the best we can out of them, realizing that it's very likely their best ain't gonna be anywhere near asia level efficiency.

Maybe one of the good things to come out of this crisis will be a demand for higher quality stewards. Maybe we'll get much higher quality candidates at election time? But in all honesty, I kind of doubt it.
I know, this just made me think of the parallel issue
A drupal rockstar. But then again, I might have met her tonight anyway. I guess I'll find out.
Inc isn't that sort of magazine.
"I grew up as an engineer, and part of that was realizing that knowing something that somebody else didn’t know didn’t make me any more of a badass." is one of many inspiring remarks in this piece. Many, many people should reflect on it.
the site is so 'shell' like, this actually confused me that it didn't work. that's a compliment on how i had already bought into this being a shell.
(Continiously) compound(ed) interest is e^(rate * time), e is not a rational number. Transcendental functions are commonly used in financial modelling, and once they appear, nothing short of a full-blown CAS will give you 100% accurate results (not that you should care, because your model is off by more than floating point error).
And that's probably not going to go anywhere either. Yes, there's the occasional attempt, but it's a set of fringe actions that don't turn out great for the agressor rather than a well trodden playbook that will probably earn you many millions like patent trolls can expect.
> The gauge also changes between Spain and Italy.

So it changes in France? Or it changes where Italy and France meet? Or wher eFrance and Spain meet? Because Italy doesn't touch Spain.
We’re talking about letting a guide dog into your vehicle. It’s not like they were asked to transport toxic waste - it’s a guide dog. How is that remotely unfair??
Parent's point was that by working for a company without supporting a union, you are giving that company leverage against the union.

That is where the neutrality is lost.
translation is also a lot harder for data poor pairs of languages. machine translation relies on training on a parallel corpus (=same text, different languages), and gets better the bigger this is.
You're not alone. I have the exact same problem.
As a writer and a movie aficionado I had to upvote that title. Wonderful work.

But the article itself is also good. One of the things I've noticed with web sites is the vast difference just a few words can make. While people are excellent at identifying dupes most of the time, computers aren't. So it's good that there are a dozen variations on a question. Perhaps when dealing with natural language, a dupe is in mind of the beholder.

The best physics class that I've seen (and that I've taught) is the Physics 101 autotutorial class. Students get three chances to take each test, but they need to get a passing grade on each unit before they move on to the next. This is contrast to the usual physics course, where the average grade on a test might be 35, but they do it on a curve so that 35 gets you a B-.

The class is aimed at premed students, and experience shows that Physics 101 students do better on the MCAT than students who take a conventional class aimed at premeds. Because it's aimed at premeds, there's a heavy dose of fluid mechanics and other subjects that often get missed in intro physics.

It's particularly fun, as a teacher, to work with students to "debug" their thought process. So often I'd hear "I understand the concepts but can't do the problem" but then once they started explaining how they tried to solve it, I'd see that they missed important concepts.
Do you believe this because you know some inside information, or is this just a generic "All any company cares about is your money"-type platitude?
Yeah, performance frequently has more to do with the workload than it does the underlying hardware.

One more thing to consider in your test case - the equivalent cost hardware for spinning rust would get you almost exponentially more storage. Server grade SSDs are still very expensive per GB.
Eh, this isn't isolated to the gas industry. The whole premise of CISPA is the sharing of intelligence in a bidirectional manner. Hell, Intelligence Sharing is part of the name!

Cooperation between LEOs and the gas industry is neither new nor unique.

Now, that said, employing public resources (personnel and otherwise) for wild goose chases is my main concern. I won't get into an argument about civil liberties, but there is a very large amount of resources devoted to investigations that lead no where and pointless harassment of peaceful individuals.

Police sharing intelligence implies that police were wasting time investigating peaceful individuals, and as such this enables private industry to otherwise penalize such individuals.

Furthermore, imagine, for a moment, an environment where protesting increased your car insurance. This happened transparently and automatically, and you have no recourse. Your rates just suddenly went up for an unexplained reason. And you didn't even use your car before, during, or after protesting.

This is what frightens me, because it's plausible. The public sector now acts as an information broker -- a steady stream of data about you is flowing towards private networks, and you have no recourse to defend yourself.
I'd very much like to see Counterparty discussed in that curriculum. I'm the community director of this open source platform, so let me know if you'd like me to skype in and guest lecture!
If you haven't looked at C++ in a while, check out C++14. No naked pointers, inferred types, lambdas, code that is run at compile time (constexpr),... tons of new stuff. It's actually awesome now!
To clarify, I meant stopped growing at its previous rate. I can't find any data further than 10 years old ATM (which is within its mature growth period), but have a look at its stock price. Note the exponential increase before 2000. https://www.google.com/finance/getchart?q=MSFT&x=NASD&p=40Y&... While there was a stockmarket boom and crash then, you can see that MS had been growing madly for a couple of decades previously.
Do you know if HyPer is open source? The name makes searching a bit of a challenge.
In my last job, the company didn't appreciate me getting involved in my project-teams work. Instead of spending time in useless meeting, I preferred to work with my team and take ownership of certain tasks.

Issue was that my loudest peers got promoted, while I kept delivering products and improving processes.
There are a few newer books using Component Pascal in their code or examples:

- Software Development with Blackbox, 2018 (positioned as a textbook for universities): https://lanbook.com/catalog/informatika/razrabotka-programmn...

Other books are translations of the same bookss from 20 years ago you mentioned.

But the Oberon community is quite alive in Russia, and even have their own conference: https://conf.oberon.org/

Granted, these are mostly academics and people working in various state-related companies. I can't even begin to relay how bureaucratic and pompous-sounding that conference page is. "3rd scientific-industrial conference on Oberon, education on quality problems in the digital technologies", "Scientific and industry coordinators", "Program Committee", everyone is "M. Sc. PhD. Prof. Prof. Emeritus, Russian Government Education Prize Laureat" and wants darn sure you know about it: https://conf.oberon.org/about
What about the concept that some people stop working in this industry? Especially as tech stacks ever evolve, and some people grow weary of having to keep up when they can go do x job and be just as happy. It's not like the world of developers is just gonna explode with talent and wages are gonna go nilch so easily.

The BLS expects another ~300,000 software engineering jobs in the next decade.[1] Will the fresh grads really be enough to hit that goal and more?

Besides, an influx of talent to the industry also brings the immeasurable future possibility of new innovation and growth. Is it really impossible that this will outpace the rate of entering labor, so that wages dont stagnate hard?
I don't have all the answers, but I'm not entirely sure doom will come that quickly for us ;)

"opacity: 0;" if you don't want to actually remove the box from the page

"display: none;" if you do

though as with all things CSS, tends to be a bit easier said than done

(this is sort of a wild shot in the dark guessing at what you're talking about, but I've done a lot of CSS and it feels like a good guess)
Fair enough -- I agree that there's more that a browser can do to protect your privacy. But I was mainly speaking to the question of what a reasonable user can expect, given what incognito mode communicates to them. And that reasonable expectation is "browser works the same, except with a new dummy identity", just like a burner phone vs your regular cell phone.

A mode like you describe is great, but I wouldn't expect a browser's built-in privacy mode to do all of that by default.

(And, FWIW, even then my statement is true. Even with the max privacy protections, once your request data has reached their servers, you can't do anything about their data storage by technical means. So even with a Tor client, if you've logged in and have to persist cookies to maintain session state, you can expect that the site to match identities across VPNs/Tor endpoints.)
Additional thread with many comments (since flagged) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25661474
Warehouse workers are the ones trying to unionize so all stories about drivers are irrelevant. You know this. I shouldn't have to specify.

Re your source, 1) The verge is currently lying about the warehouse/driver distinction so their credibility is very low, 2) the claims were anonymous or second-hand, and 3) they aren't saying there weren't bathrooms - but that people were trying to improve their speed.

Literally nothing that supports the need for a union. Nobody claims to have a medical reason that they needed to use the toilet and having been forbidden, or even had pay docked. That would be illegal under OSHA guidelines and they'd have just reported it as such at the time. Courts are extremely friendly to these suits from workers but apparently they never actually happened.

> “From their point of view, we don’t have the right to be ill,”

Nope. Illegal. If that happened there'd have been a lawsuit.

> “I had a fit at work and was taken to the hospital. The next day, someone rung me and asked why I was not in work. I explained to them, but it was still marked, ‘no call, no show,’”

Um yeah, you didn't call or show. That you (may have) had a valid reason to leave yesterday doesn't translate into not having to let them know if you're coming in today. Not a valid complaint.

> But despite having legally compliant break times, workers noted they had to walk quite a distance from their main work area to the break area, which greatly diminished how much time they had left to rest.

If you're required to take your break in a designated area then the time to travel there is not part of your break. If some manager got this wrong and stuck to it, it's a reason for a complaint and a maybe a lawsuit which the employee would profitably win. Maybe this happened, but all companies can make mistakes and the fix is easy.

It's not that they can't just want to unionize. That would be fine. Pointless, but fine. What's not is the lies. Their case for abuse clearly has no merit.
Eh, still, when someone donates a kidney, someone gets a kidney. You could say FBSD didn't lose anything, but surely Apple did get quite a bit?
It’s planned based on vaccination timelines, but subject to change based on other indicia. Frim the article: “Dr. Ghaly told reporters that the June 15th date was chosen because it falls about 8 weeks after all California residents become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. However, that date could shift if the vaccine supply is interrupted or if health officials see a spike in hospitalizations for the coronavirus.”

> Shouldn't it be based on the status of the pandemic?

That’s what its based on. There are strong expectations of how vaccination effects that.

> If they decided it is already a pretty good situation

They did not. (Though current trends in vaccination and other metrics are heading in a good direction.)
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jeff Dean is going to leave as well. Tick tock.
They basically only work if I'm on a great Wifi and the other side is too. As long as the connection isn't perfect, the only way to continue the conversation is on Whatsapp (or Zoom).
The point is it is not a bad deed.

It is not like Apple was making rounds marketing their contribution. Somebody had to spot this to report it.

Rather than criticize take a look at everybody else who did not give anything.
I always find this sort of news confusing and completely lacking in context. I gather this person was a high level manager, but presumably he was part of a very large team. So will this have a material impact on Google? On AI research in general? Or is this just news because it’s Google and that team has been in the news a lot lately. I honestly can’t tell and I feel like I’m the only one who is confused but reflecting on it, this seems unlikely.
