Your comment has so many words that don't really say anything...

Honestly your first paragraph just sounds like you work at companies that can't afford the talent they want on an ongoing basis... so they're willing to pay extra conditionally for when they need current talent to step up to the level they're looking for.

That's a hell of a deal for the company (especially a growing one!) and as you can see it does wonders for retention since giving everyone a carrot isn't as appreciated as hiding the carrot behind your back until they "earn it through exceptional work". The latter approach also really plays egos... and ego is what gets a 10 gallons of work out of a 9 gallon bag.

Maybe early in my career I would have been on with that?

But yeah, if a place is only going to pay me what I'm worth contingent on finding specific opportunities to negotiate it why would I take that?

Instead I can go to a place that understands I can do things others can't, hires me for that reason, and pays me accordingly by default?

-

That's not a "fixed pie" mentality either, it's a "fixed self-worth" mentality. Also known by the moniker of "f*ck you, pay me"

My worth is not contingent on business is going.

My worth is not contingent on if the deal fell through.

My worth is not contingent on how much revenue this project is going to make.

I'm not going to get shorted on pay compared to the guy working on a project for a sales deal just because I'm working on the boring maintenance parts that will come afterwards and that's not as sexy or the optics aren't as bright.

I'm worth what I'm worth, and if they can't pay it they can't have me. In other words "f*ck you, pay me".

The pie is irrelevant.
People will hate it.
I don't want to play with just my friends, I as someone who's been playing online games for about 20 years, don't think the playing with many other people part is broken and that is very enjoyable. What's broken is often the choice of server architecture and decision to not have the right amount of moderators to handle reports.

Many games use either partly or entirely P2P decision resolution which is easier to game then purely server side. Then also the gaming industry has been downsizing and automating moderation for years now which means typically the companies with the largest online presence (looking at you ActiBlizzard) don't have enough actual moderators to handle reports and they resort to leaning more heavily on these grey area technologies to catch cheaters. It's fundamentally an issue with expense cutting imo.
The head of Webkit says this is related to privacy (preventing an info leak). I think that's a pretty good confirmation that the reason is not (simply) pedestrian. https://twitter.com/othermaciej/status/1359736220809531393?s...

It gets a bit metaphysical at some point, but 'on top of' or 'after' probably are better prepositions to use when describing the relationship between DOS and Windows.

'Instead of' would also work, in the case of Windows 95, as it would be fair to say that simply exiting Windows involves resetting everything back to the way DOS had it, then rerunning DOS.

And when you ran DOS inside a window in Windows 95, then that was DOS running inside of a VM.
Just like the CIA has been known to support them, as well. Your point?
The twitter social graph (follow connections between people) is my data source, I extract it from the API and cache it in a database.

The mariadb table storing this information currently takes a bit more than 500GB, it has about 4 billion rows (based on the statistics, I don't run SELECT count(*) on it anymore).

I usually don't use the term "big data" because the buzzword is so popular that it doesn't mean anything anymore.
At the same time, you could replace all nuclear in the US currently operating in around three years (even compensating for capacity factor), solely from PV manufacturing capacity in the US.

I think that you may have confused PV manufacturing capacity in the US with global PV manufacturing capacity.

The US generated 807 TWh from nuclear power in 2018 [1]. If solar farms achieve a good-but-realistic capacity factor of 25%, you need 368 gigawatts of modules [2] to produce 807 TWh per year. That's about 3 years' worth of global module production at 2019 production rates. US domestic module production is currently below 10 GW per year.

[1] https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pr...

[2] (807000 / (24*365)) / 0.25 = 368. Actually you need a bit more because most solar farms report capacity factor on an AC basis, and the inverter loading ratio is greater than 1.0. But close enough for a quick estimate.
I didn’t say it was acceptable. It’s also not acceptable for alligators to bite humans, but the appropriate solution isn’t necessarily to kill all the alligators.

Like the biology of a crocodile, this is the natural behaviour of a capitalist corporate entity under current US law. We have this set of incentives for corporations and we’re all surprised when they follow them to the letter.
That reminds me of Capsela for some reason: https://www.google.com/search?q=capsela&tbm=isch
an AI is nothing but a model. It only creates the illusion of creating because we are incapable of calculating as much and as fast as they can, but ultimately the product is just the result of the model, and the model is a tool made by the human.

Friendly reminder not to treat AI like humans. Ever.
The guy in the second video (Dave Ackley) made the Ulam programming language. I've seen the paper describing it appear on hnews multiple times.

Currently he's working on the "T2 tile project," wherein he's attempting to build the "world's first indefinitely scalable computational stack."[1] He uploads weekly videos about it on YouTube.[2]

The existence of a front-facing camera may fairly be considered a “catch up” feature on iPhone 4. But the ability to use the front-facing camera to actually make video calls is first on the iPhone.

I once saw a guy standing in the subway, looking on the floor, gesticulating like crazy. I though the guy was either drunk or mentally ill.

As I left the subway, I realized that the guy was holding a phone in his hand. I could glimpse on the display and saw another person gesticulating.

Apparently the guy was deaf and was talking in sign language in a video chat. On a subway, which probably had no Wifi. That was in 2007.

I was amazed by technology (and felt like an idiot for the snap judgement).
He's saying he's disappointed but it isn't insurmountable and thus he'll get over it.
Does "currently evaluated" mean "we won't update"?
Not sure how Motorola handled that. Is it just marketing talk or will they just drop the update?

In that way it is related, but it is not in the same category as the other sites listed. It is a tool that can be used to spread spam, propaganda, and possibly automate entry of data into inflexible systems.

If governments can justify censoring access to a program like this for those reasons, then I am worried.
This is the most interesting reply I've seen so far.

How would one grade this effectively though?
a) Apps run on touchscreens. Your hands cover the screen so sometimes there is no visual cue.

b) When an app is slow to respond, the audible cue lets you know that the action was performed

c) iOS and android devices usually do 1 thing at a time, so you know the tap sound could only come from the current app. Imagine what it would sound like if a bell rang every time a web page in your tabs was updated. You 'd still need a visual aid to tell where it came from

d) because apps lack in content and try to make up with visual effects and sounds
"...that Apple's cash increases the stock's value even if you ignore its cash."

For companies with large pools of cash, it's sometimes useful to remove that from the market cap when looking at how they're valued by the market (similarly, you'd add in debt to get the enterprise value.) Ostensibly the market values a dollar in the bank as a dollar of market cap (although one can argue that.) So if you're trying to see if the market is undervaluing the actual enterprise as a whole relative to its earnings flow, you want to subtract the cash holdings from the market cap.

Maybe easier as an example: If you have a company with $1 earnings, $100 market cap and $99 in the bank, it might look like the market is valuing it at 100x earnings unless you subtract that $99 and see that the market is valuing the enterprise at 1x earnings.

This is really a great idea! Congrats to the team.

I didn't read the entire text, but here's my question: do you have in your plans to ship worldwide.
I'm not sure rom hackers and people who can entirely dissassemble a rom always overlap.

You don't need full knowledge of assembly or your target system's architecture to open a rom in a hex editor and play with some values.

The skills and tools needed to dissassemble a rom, reprogram it and recompile it are a bit more involved.

Saying, nobody should bother hacking roms unless they have the skills to dissassemble and recompile the game is going to discount a lot of the people that have brought the state of rom hacking and modification to what it is today.
your $140 wont buy you 10 call options at $14, you might not be able to enter the market at all

Option prices have to be multiplied by the quantity of their underlying asset, so 100 is standard in the equities space. $14 x 100 = $1,400

$1,400 is the amount you have to put down. so there is still amplified return possibilities but you were probably overestimating by an order of magnitude
When suggesting a product, I think it's typically best practice to disclose when you are the founder.
Have you never received a voting guide from the local chapter of your political party?

This line in the documentation might be misleading. Unless you have a very old legacy droplet that uses HV-assigned kernels, you should be able to reimage your droplet and use another OS.

This is a pretty epic Slippery Slope Argument.

These stores are now < 0.1% of all stores. Worrying about what might go wrong if/when they're 90% seems very premature.
I'm surprised you have to poll. I would have expected tAmazon to wo minute notices to a SNS topic.
Gatsby sites are bloated with JS that is mostly not used. If the goal is a static site then Gatsby might be the worst possible choice.
It's a full, separate system on a USB stick. This means it will need to patched and maintained, and that apps and dats will still need the usual back-and-forth sync of multiple systems.
I made a little curated list for my friends who are starting to raise kids of their own and wanted to know about resources. I think most of what's out there is math education phrased as a game (to develop mechanical skills without being boring), and later translates into Lockhart-style exploratory "joy of math" stuff. The latter doesn't have much besides, Lockhart's own work, though, from what I can find.

> I honestly could tell that the interviewer giving me the fizzbuzz questions wasn't clicking with me personally. That's fine, and I completely respect that it's a valid reason not to hire someone.

No, it really isn't. You should have a set of hiring standards that you strive to make as objective and quantifiable as possible. The interviewer should also be doing everything he or she can do to minimize their own personal bias entering into the evaluation of you as a candidate.

Hiring people you get along with, i.e. people like you, is usually a quick path towards a homogeneous team of straight, white males from privileged backgrounds.
I'm a fan boy of my own companies. :)

I created a website where you can creation recommendation travel guides for friends.

For example, if you were to ever visit Orange County, that guide would hopefully give you an overview of the city.

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated!
I don't see anyone being upset. It's a hypothetical that asks a few people what would be the impact if sports didn't exist or play a major role in American culture.
State employees in California have their pay published yearly. I've never heard of this being even the least bit controversial.

http://www.sacbee.com/site-services/databases/state-pay/#req...
Well... it was decent, but it was mostly maintenance at that point. Actually, we rebuilt the system in a different platform that was much easier to build and easier to maintain, so within a year there was far less work to do. Worked myself out of a gig, but had a happy client...
Perhaps that's contributing to the cited rise in obesity too :>
Your second point is very important for engineers to take to heart if they're looking to develop cryptosystems.

One-time pads are fetishized because they are the only theoretical silver bullet to cryptanalysis, but they have a bunch of problems that prevent them from being serious solutions to real cryptography needs.

1. They are just about the worst compromise between security and utility. The one-time pad digest must be at least as long as the message, and any communication is going to be more or less stateless because you need to generate a new one-time pad for every message (by design) to prevent cryptanalysis. This is great for an ivory tower exercise, not so great for typical use cases.

2. One-time pads have a terrible ideal to implementation ratio: they look great theoretically and are almost never implemented securely. Among other things, it is very difficult to seed them properly.

3. They do not solve the problem of key exchange whatsoever, which is arguably a much larger vulnerability in practice. A one-time pad is alluring for its standalone strength, but in practice it won't help you elsewhere.

Practically speaking, one-time pads don't solve any real problem in cryptography in a meaningful way, and using them practically tends to attract the sort of programmer that goes into cryptography with a dangerously inaccurate belief from the outset: that you can really develop a silver-bullet to cryptanalysis in real-world cryptosystems.

Other than that, completely agree that it's good practice, but there needs to be a README disclosing that this is unsafe crypto (like just about every other repository anywhere).
>Why not use boost intrusive lists?

Yeah, why not? "The implementation is complex" is not a sensible reason not to use them; it's the complexity of the API one should worry about, and it seems as simple as adding a link subobject. I wonder if the author of this article actually bothered to test the Boost implementation and its performance.
Oh, I totally agree with that. But try telling that to your average Green Peace liberal who just wants to abandon technology because it's "killing our planet" or some such. Nuclear plants on average pollute less than coal? Nope, gotta get rid of both, YESTERDAY. It's this kind of all-or-nothing debate that makes people not want to give in.
I can't think of any reason I would want half my list indexes to be wrong in my source file.

I can think of plenty of reasons I would want to use auto-numbers while removing explicit numbers. But this is insane as a default behavior.
You forgot Palantir. As soon as you see a Tolkien reference in a company's name, you know Peter Thiel is involved.
Dunno, just about every compiler on the planet has different settings for different CPUs and often let you hard code what you prefer.

I can see MKL not automatically picking the fastest path, but they should allow you to manually pick.

In fact they do, this flag lets you pick the AVX2 libs and speed increases up to 6.6x in my tests with matlab.

We agree that a KickStarter style of funding is the best way to succesfully fund a project as it has many benefits. For example, funding companies mitigate risk by sharing the burden of cost.

Check out our early Initiatives page and you'll find two early projects we are currently working with to get funding.

Thanks for your awesome comment!
Food labeling laws generally allow for a margin of error around reported numbers, even zero. Printed calorie amounts, for example, are rounded to the nearest calorie— something reported as having no calories can in fact contain up to 0.5.

By extension, anything less than 0.5% can reasonably be reported as 0% but not 0.1% or 0.0%. This is the shorthand for plus-or-minus that has been used for a long time, and gets taught in middle school[1].

Well right now we have that kind without any of the useful economic kind. So it can't get worse.
You're here!

I asked you a bunch of questions and even filed a few issues a few months back.

You were incredibly patient and helpful as I tried to sort out the performance characteristics of the a few bulk insert approaches.

I want to publicly thank you again for all your help. You've set a uniquely high bar with all your work on and around jOOq.

So I think approaching groups with a friend is good for someone who is so frozen and so afraid that he/she would never be able to make an approach in the first place.

But I completely agree with the problems you listed when being attached to a friend at the hip and have suffered that collateral damage as well myself.
I'm sorry, your comment isn't making clear what teaching programming has to do with distributing graphical applications. Could you clarify what 'these reasons' are?
Yep. If I wanted to know the latest JavaScript standards, or look up language details, I should be able to go to js.org to find it.
How is that even possible? Are you sure they weren't just having (to be crude) a brain fart?

Some of these stories about super experienced ("10+ years") developers not being able to answer the most basic of basic syntax or "algorithm" questions seem far-fetched to me.
I taught my son JavaScript (along with html and css) because I think the browser is a great platform to expose new programmers to programming. I also think it's the most relevant because any knowledge and experience acquired is likely going to count in some way in their future.

The JavaScript adventure can continue when we look at node on the server and even use it to control embedded devices like Tessel and Espruino.
You clearly have no idea what I'm talking about. Thanks for the compliments.
Interesting juxtaposition with the prior article about destroying Egyptian funeral masks in order to read them. In this case preserving the scrolls will eventually allow a much better result.
Well, the integration between HW/SW is the best on OS X because of the fact that Apple actually makes their own hardware, as well as the software. That means, you get HW/SW support from day ONE. That's key and you can never get than on Linux. Period. Heck, for work, I have to try to make Linux work on Surface 3, and you have to patch the Linux kernel yourself to make the touchpad and keyboard work nicely. Sort of a convoluted example, but you get the idea. The heavy online support is nothing compared to going in to the Apple Store and having guaranteed support.

About apt-get vs homebrew, what do you miss from apt-get? I'm not trying to sound dumb, I genuinely want to know. For me, homebrew is much more easier to use, and you can add taps (sort of like PPAs), you can even add a tap to get OS X apps. I've never used it but I've heard good things about it, for instance, you can type `brew cask chrome` to have chrome installed.
> for the author's usage case (kids wanting to learn to write games that are super easily portable)

This is an artificial use case. Kids wanting to learn to write games should be concerned with whatever works on the hardware they have available. Portability is premature optimization at this point.
Not the author, just thought this was an interesting library. I've used similar libraries in Clojure and CL (such as yesql) and really enjoy the step away from ORMs, but also having queries in a centralized place with parameters. This library looks well done, I haven't used it in any projects yet.

All medications, including antidepressants, are studied for potential reproductive harm. This is taken very seriously in wake of the Thalidomide disaster in the 60s.

Is it possible that antidepressants have some extremely subtle transgenerational epigenetic effects? Maybe, but comparing healthy patients to SSRI-treated remitted depressed patients is a bit of a red herring anyway. The real comparison would be between SSRI-treated patients and untreated depressed patients, because healthy people aren't prescribed SSRIs. We do know untreated depression is very harmful to people and their families, so speculating about immeasurably small negative effects of SSRIs while ignoring the massive and very real cost of untreated depression would be a mistake.
Uber lost $8.5 billion in 2019, $6.77 billion in 2020, and recently reported a $968 million loss in Q1 2021. As a company, Uber has lost around $35 billion total.

Which really begs the question of... who the heck is making money here, how, and why?
We're only in this situation because anti-trust has failed, and these giant platforms gobble up all the upstarts & engage in anti-competitive practice.

Trying to regulate a market you've let already grow deeply unhealthy is a bullshit answer to the real problem.

Generally the platforms have been too permissive about what they've allowed, acting only when absolutely necessary. They have been too generous, and allowed too much disinformation & lies[1]. It is not great that they use opaque unclear processes, but that's something competition should address, not regulation.

You can be assured that whatever order & regulation Clarence Thomas wants, it is not to fix the lying & abuse. It is to require it. He is enormously sore his political buddies have gotten their wings clipped a little bit for their outrageous behaviors. That's all this is about, to Clarence Thomas.

> quite an effort

This feels like a misrepresentation of the kind of effort required. For a company of Uber's scale such an effort barely registers. And they could go live with the change in selected markets in the interest of minimizing it even further. But at the end of the day this isn't a matter of effort but of reward, and Uber probably sees none.
Ostensibly they are. When was the last time an ISP banned you because you wrote something on Twitter it disagreed with?
