You Sir, are a disgrace to the entire healthcare community. Hope you never manage to take the Hippocratic Oath as you will be breaking it at every chance you get. Enjoy your career as scumbag-of-a-doctor.

Yes, that is my opinion alone, but I do hold it strongly.
6-8 years would be just post-9/11, so I guess some teachers finally remembered it could be relevant.

Looks like the pre-9/11 folks didn't hear about it so much.
It's disappointing to see someone talk so smugly about a bad opinion.
This is a way to optimize hiring towards those who are good at whiteboarding code under pressure. In other words, a task that is not at all related to the vast majority--if not any--software development roles.
My thoughts exactly. The level of contempt and tribe-bashing ("screw these rationalists who think they're smarter than us!") in this thread is depressing.
This happened in SF, but there are analogous events happening in all sorts of institutions (typically less egregious but trending in that direction) all over the country. Because this is a symptom of an ideology that isn't limited to SF even if it's particularly potent in SF. With respect to "but whatabout right-wing groups?!": we don't have to worry about one or the other because woke progressivism and other far-left ideologies fuel right-wing groups; combatting left-wing extremism and restoring moderate views will marginalize right-wing groups as well.
I have suffered from fairly bad RSI/tendonitis issues since my early 20s. Now a days I have a split keyboard and use wasd keys for my mouse, which is slower, but causes less pain. I would not wish this kind of pain on anyone. It has greatly negatively impacted my life. Hopefully future treatments will give some help, the current treatments are very lackluster.
Design Systems are great in theory, but in practice can devolve into navel gazing and just be a time suck for design and product organisations.

In the worst case you end up with designers over reaching and designing UI and UX for all sorts of speculative use cases. And then acting as gatekeepers for anything that falls outside of that. If you want to use an element the system doesn't include then you need to make a case that your design is valid for a whole host of use cases you don't care about.

The best design systems I've seen are trailing the rest of the design org, and document what is working rather than trying to skate ahead.
It means that it can address 40-bits of address space worth of physical memory, but that virtual memory addresses can use 48 bits. Physical addresses are just your RAM bytes numbered 1 through whatever. Virtual address space is the address space of a process, which includes mapped physical memory, unmapped pages, guard pages, and other virtual memory tricks.
Dentists (ones I have) usually recommend brushing your tongue as part of your tooth brushing routine. This helps prevent bad breath I think, which is correlated with oral hygiene.
It's called "noble savage" stereotype. The type of condescending that feels like anti-racism, but is actually just another form of racism.

(Similar to other types of condescension-masquerading-as-respect, such as "women are too pure to debate politics".)

The funny thing is that the person who expressed this usually strongly believes it is genuine respect, and will get outraged if you suggest otherwise. Like, is there a higher compliment than to be treated like a child? But at the same time, we do not consider children competent, and we feel comfortable making the important decisions for them.
> The people that bought GME at $300 are not likely to return for more sick gains.

Unfortunately that sounds a lot like saying "The people who lose all their money at the casino are not likely to return to the casino," which... well...
I doubt anybody in an important position would lend much thought to crypto. A glance at it and you can see that its just a Rube-Goldberg machine trying to replace the trust and authority of central banks with "decentralization". And for what? So you can get your wallet hacked and have nobody to go to for restitution?

So you can get a bug found in your smart contract and have no way of fixing it? So you can lose your net worth by gambling on DogeCoin?

Crypto is a big bucket of problems, and the fact that a small group of idealogues call big bankers names and call their little toys "assets" doesn't change that the entire ecosystem is garbage. It will never replace the financial system.
Dumb question but, if his acct was locked, how did he post that?
> a defrost system

What does a defrost system includes? My dad manages a place where defrost system on one of the devices broke. Technician replaced something and hence it was fixed. IIRC it was temperature sensor. All defrost system does is periodically warms up the outside grill basically. It used to get stuck at -15C or so.
Most people are OK taking a small performance hit for the simplicity of working with immutable data.
The last time I researched this, to sufficient depth, was about 3 years ago. LZ4 was, hands down, the winner---nothing was even close.
It is not just NATing that breaks FTP but any form of firewall in general. Iptables isn't bad because there are special kernel modules that watch ftp traffic and auto adjust rules for you.

But good luck if your firewall is not on the same box as your FTP server.
Ever heard of separation of powers? Three branches of government?
I can't help but feel that go is destined to become the NBL, at least in the world of enterprise development where static typing and OOP have become assumed if not necessary.

Aside from having the backing of Google, it provides C-like low-level access for systems programming, a clean syntax, static typic, a consistently evolving set of business-focused APIs, along with some of the conveniences normally associated with dynamic languages.

Obviously no language or set of libraries is designed with perfect foresight. But the painful aspects of popular languages like Java or C++ could probably be improved upon or even solved tomorrow given zero regard for backwards compatibility with legacy code. Go's relatively short legacy, combined with smart considerations for existing codebases (like gofix) mean that fundamental changes to the language or standard libs can be made in order to perfect the language. All while the language's limitations are being revealed in real world usage by the (presumably) demanding needs of users like Google and Go's early adopters.

I don't mean to sound like a fanboy, especially as someone who has mostly drank the dynamic typing Kool-Aid, but I can't wait to see what happens with go.
seomoz?
If library writers were to use CommonJS Modules (i.e. just use require() and exports), we'd be most of the way there.

Require.js and AMD still feel like they are not appropriate in all scenarios (e.g., I really don't want or need a "loader" in simple single page applications).

This is my suggestion for a very light weight way of using CommonJS Modules in the browser which is agnostic about how your scripts are loaded.

I've realised that lately I don't really code in the zone anymore. My workflow is completely tied to testing. Spec, red, code, green and the code just grows and adapts. All consuming flow is now very hard to achieve, there's simply too much time waiting for the computer to run tests, it's the stuttered conversation of a satellite phone. On the other hand it's far easier to return to work. Distractions used to feel like being forced to stop whilst cycling up a steep hill. Now the pace feels slower but it's steadier and more controlled.

I miss those old sessions. Lost in my own world, code flying out for hours at a time sometimes straying far from the next compile but certain that if I just kept hacking there would be a glorious moment when it burst into life. I wouldn't go back now though, the red, green has me. I'll just have to wait for that cloud editor I'm longing for, the one that'll run tests instantly as I type.
Password Gorilla (https://github.com/zdia/gorilla/wiki). It runs on OSX/Linux/Windows, the password database is compatible across OSX/Linux/Windows, it is open source and free software.

All that is missing is Android/iOS support, but if a Tcl environment were to be brought up on either, the Password Gorilla should work there just as well.
If your only tool is a Stallman, every problem looks like an OS.

That said, data in the cloud is absolutely less secure from fed perusal. Of course, the lack of commonplace point to point encryption (see the Phil Zimmerman witch hunt in the early 90s) was in many ways a more critical nail in the messaging security coffin.
A big problem Microsoft has is their pre-announcements.

They will announce stuff before it's ready so when it does arrive there's no buzz about it. BUT it's a necessary culture for them because of the way their business interdepends upon their partners.
Every "good" spy chooses his X, and sends the corresponding Y to the guards. No need to involve a 3rd person in between like in your solution.
Dropbox looks like a pretty amazing company to work for. Any chance you'll be hiring interns this summer?
It was required 2nd semester Freshman year for all CS students.

(Hey Brian!)
This article just makes me want to start a discussion about how equity offers are even more worthless to me than the rapidly declining dollar. Do people still think that they'll make it big off of equity when they aren't the founders of a company?

Also, this year's biggest IPO was <sarcasm> GM </sarcasm>. Nobody is getting rich off of stock options in this market.
Maybe it would be better if you could change the message before tweeting/posting to FB. I wrote something to DB that I didn't want to tweet. So I didn't do the last 2 steps, which were presumably the most important ones. I realize that not being able to change the message, is to try and ensure that the tweet is really about loving Dropbox.
He didn't just mentioned it, he thought the courses of an iteration of fast.ai in Swift as it was allegedly the way forward and more useful for students (paraphrasing).
Fair enough, I was mistaken

When you say "we're not yet there" what do you think would be the best step forward? Currently you need a server in the middle because your home router isn't opened up to the public internet. Would that be the answer? Opening up your routers to the internet?
how do you wash a gift card? I would assume the original method of payment for the card is logged somewhere. unless you can turn around and sell the gift card for cash really quick, you would be stuck holding evidence.
It may look absurd but lets take a couple of example. A person is on the street and talking about killing unbelievers. Should it matter if the speaker believes are from a system that the government has on a list of protected class, or is the single critical fact from a legal perspective that the speaker is encouraging violence?

Let take a second example. A store employee is insulting a customer by calling them a penniless rat. Should such insult be treated different from the employer then if they used a racial insult? From an employment law perspective, is the fact that the customer belong to a specific demographic that the government has listed as protected mean more than the simple fact that a customer was insulted by the employee and the store was negatively impacted?

I think the practical result in EU has been mostly similar to those in the US, except for corner cases. Dress code rules are enforced equally for those who want to wear a religious symbol or a political one. Taking a break during work hours for religious purpose is treated the same as taking a break for coffee.

Can you think of an example where in a religious context some action should be legal but in a political context should not?
I didn't say my wager was based on the article. That supposition originated with you. Would you like to ask a less leading question?
I'm thinking it has to do with the continuous day/night cycle. It'll be interesting to see if there are any changes with latitude, in particular, what happens in countries closer to the equator.
We're looking for feedback both on our website and the core idea.
Yes, it makes parsers harder. Or more accurately, it shifts some of the complexity from producers to parsers.

Given the landscape of HTML (lots of producers, comparatively few parsers), this shift seems reasonable to me.
The evil self was suppose to be (according the video) the "genius" work around to not having guards and combat in the game due to memory constrains. Guards and combat being added anyway really undercuts the narrative of the video.
Let's pretend we are not web developers for a second. How do I build this website if I don't know what static page means?
Its worth noting that real world drivers do put incredible amounts of hours into these consumer simulators. It's not like they're winning on their real-world experience alone.
In the 1980s, the general population absolutely reviled gay people and gay men in particular. Don't downplay the deep stigma that gay people experienced at the time.
Provide how? From a webserver? Back to square 1.
If you’re talking about Rust, https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/string/struct.String.ht... and related methods will give you byte slices. If not Rust, I’m sure the language has some sort of API!
Oh cmon man that's disingenuous. Detection of a user choice of an attachment is conscious transmittal of intent. Message analysis is a different layer of intrusion.

An addendum, and a game I think about quite frequently, is FlyWrench. It looks like Bit.Trip Runner has taken some lessons from it. FlyWrench is also a punishingly difficult game that appears to flow for an expert player, with instant death on any mistake. What it nails is that the amount of work you have to redo for a failure is tiny, and the restart is as close to instantaneous as you would be comfortable with.

You enter a very flow-like state perfecting a 10-20 second stretch of inputs because of this structure. The game demands perfection as you enter the later levels, but somehow you are comfortable with it because the penalty is so small. I guess VVVVV is also in this school of game and has largely succeeded.

I think, then, that Bit.Trip Runner may have failed somewhat if the restart penalty is as large as the author makes it sound. You don't need to have a large competence zone to create flow; you can alternatively have a low penalty for failure with some tangible measure of progress and keep the player (or at least this player) hooked.
I believe the plan is to retire the space shuttle, not all of NASA.
Awesome app!

I was about to donate but then I felt shy about handing my credit card info over to an app that was built in two days. Give me the warm fuzzies about my credit card number being safe and I'll donate. :)
Tenderloin is a SF neighborhood
Just a couple days ago, I was thinking it'd be cool to have a "noise" layer on Google Maps, but I figured it would be too hard to get good resolution over a large area.
> Then there's the obscenely large amounts spent by big tech on lobbying in washington and PR in the media and in places like right here.

Any data here? I would have thought compared to other industries, tech hasn’t spend nearly enough! Few people occasionally tweet our Google or Facebook having donated $2700 to one republican superpact or another. This has to be peanuts compared to any real money involved.
The lectures are by Onur Mutlu, an ex-CMU prof and a gifted teacher. He also teaches stuff on memory systems and digital design of circuits.

All of his course videos are available online on his youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIwQ8uOeRFgOEvBLYc3kc3g/pla...
No where does OP suggest that using lynx is common among blind users. He simply stated that he used lynx. Throughout this thread, multiple other blind users have noted that use of lynx is uncommon, even among blind users.

Devils advocate: Is there a chance this amounts to willful ignorance? Seems to me like once you are 'hooked on something': Amazon 1-click ordering, A social network, your phone - it's not easy to admit that you have 'a problem', let alone condemn a whole industry.

Beyond that: If 'they' actually know everything about us - I desperately want to trust them with that information.

edit: formatting.
My phone has radio but no television reception. Is there some legality reason why phones don't have tv tuners?
Out of curiosity: have an example? I've only used relatively-simple formats in queries, never in todos, haven't hit any issues yet.

Seems like it'd probably be a parser limitation or something tho? Or are some of the formats lisp-code-like and need to be executed?
I think most brokerages make the bulk of their money on interest for margin trades and management fees. I read about Fidelity's new 0% ER funds (e.g. FZROX), and it's a loss leader for their larger margin business.

Schwab has a good business going with offering mutual funds and retirement accounts, but I don't think they have a solid margin business, but I think TD Ameritrade does, which is likely why they're making this acquisition.
Yes?

When someone puts some effort into making an indirect reference like that, they appreciate their work having been noticed. That's the role my comment was performing.
It might be simply driven by statistics, or as a human-directed strategy.

While it seems counter-intuitive to the person who is targeted; (examples abound) - if you think about it from the perspective of someone selling widgets, the (set of people who are in the market for widgets) will necessarily include people who just bought one. Maybe they are not satisfied with their purchase? Maybe they want to buy another? Maybe they bought one, and it arrived damaged?

Personally, I would think that this kind of "trying to think FOR me" is rather offensive to a lot of people, and probably turns-off a fair amount of people who are subject to it. On the other hand, it is probably true that people exposed to an ad for a widget, immediately after buying one, are statistically more likely to buy another. So as long as that is true (if it is) - then that's going to be a criteria for ad targeting.
> Not too hard.

Perhaps you're imagining less restrictive requirements for it than I am.

> 1-Wire, a very low end LAN from Dallas Semiconductor, would be good for this.

i'm aware of 1-wire. it is master-slave. can you outline exactly how you plan to use it in an unknown and reconfigurable topology, and how many separate master and slave interfaces you expect to have in each brick?
AFAIK there's GPU analogs for everything physicsBody2d's can do, but not directly.

I have sometimes wondered what the product manager writes on these types of Jira tickets..
I think we might already be at a few... Though in vastly different ways. I don't think social media has been healthy, but just pure consumers that might be coming up could be worse...

According to my father it is alive and well in Canadian insurance as well. But he said where he worked they don't change the COBOL code much anymore, they add features by adding layers in other languages around the COBOL core.
It's less prominent now that the internet is a thing, but they do still speak about that topic occasionally, and it wasn't so long ago that it was a top political issue: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/30/us/tv-broadcasters-agree-...
Dick's move was to rat this suspicious Stanisław Lem guy/committee to the FBI[1] :-)

In his defense, he had paranoid schizophrenia (you know - that disease that gets you hellbanned on HN).

It would be interesting to define product as "dollars produced" or something of that sort. Then rank languages by net product and then by net productivity (net product over time).

I would expect it all to be heavily skewed towards high volume trading.
The TV series "City of Men" is also very very good. My boxset version had an eye-opening documentary about polici g the favela. http://imdb.com/title/tt0364801/
> they would need to send 200 texts/hour (which is pretty easy/trivial if you are doing this full time).

Context switching would take a while. You can't just reply with random phrases a-la Eliza[1] . In the article, the "boyfriend" responds to a specific question about Downton Abbey. Sure, in this instance the responder may be a fan of DA; but in the general case, it'll require more than 18 seconds (@200/hr) to just type up an intelligent, context-relevant response.
My first thought: She should form a subsidiary company that releases her stuff on YouTube. Then she can give the sub her music as she sees fit. That way she can still control her YouTube presence, but Google has the right to do what it needs to do with the stuff she releases to it.

Would this work?
That factory is in Belgium right? Or do we have one too? (I don't really follow much covid news)
Not as uncommon as you think. Many people realize without knowing much about the law that breaking the law can be a great business plan. They just converge upon ideas that are illegal naturally and unperturbed by the potential problems.

Ironically this is also a bit of an entrepreneurial advantage. A trained corporate management drone will be aware of all the bad things that can happen and has been paper trained by lawyers to be frightened of doing anything illegal. The sweet spot is when it's something that's just slightly illegal or just a matter of civil law, but the danger zone is in something like this which is just fraud.
> Is it theft if a magician picks your pocket but then returns the wallet at the end of the trick?

If a "street magician" randomly picks my pocket out of the blue, you can bet I consider that theft, even if they give it back afterwards. They'd better get my consent to do anything with my person or my property.
Those are called GPUs! Or, if you like, GPGPUs.

Almost from day one. This has probably changed now but don't forget, Shopify is one of the biggest Ruby on Rails sites on the web and I've been part of the Rails Core team since it's inception (until recently).

Rails stood for something new, it was a paradigm shift of sorts. That's what every VC in the world looks for.

The VCs who correctly predict which technologies fuel innovations always do very well. See Peter Fenton of Benchmark to illustrate the point at hand.
A bit cynical eh? My personal opinion is after the full ramifications of the US DOJ/EU anti-trust actions set in years later Gates realized he couldn't run Microsoft the way he always had and the game was basically fixed against him going forward. If he stayed involved with Microsoft's day-to-day operations it's likely he would been overseeing a long slow decline in relevance. No fun for someone who likes challenges. I think he just lost interest and realized how much good he could do elsewhere.
