I think most individual engineers are more productive coders in a private room. And here, many of us retire often to a comfy chair or a quiet corner when we need uninterrupted focus.

But my team is far more productive across non-coding tasks by being adjacent to each other. And anybody who felt very strongly about not sitting with the team would, in my opinion, not fit in as well here.

My point is: the feeling would perhaps be mutual. And it's OK: every person is not made to work at every company.

bullshit.

This doesn't seem to have been insider trading, though. It seems to have been people letting others know about orders they're about to make on behalf of clients. I don't know of any economists who say that sort of breach of fiduciary duty should be legal - it's nothing but handing over someone else's money.
Belgium is as disorganized as you can get. Most of the time over the last 20 years they didn't manage to form a government, just an endless chain of interim solutions that quickly broke apart. It shows...
There's a home automation protocol that's been around for over 20 years called KNX. It's backed by big names (ABB, Hager, Gira, Osram, Mean Well) however outside of Germany it's pretty much unknown. Compared to ZigBee or Z-Wave it's wired and the config is stored in the devices themselves, so there's no single point of failure. It has strict certification requirements so you can be guaranteed that products from different manufacturers will work together (this does mean its more expensive though). The quality of the hardware (esp. motion/presence sensors) is a lot better than what you can buy from Amazon or the 'smart home' section in your local Walmart.

There's plenty of content (in German) on YouTube about it, and forums:

A literal turn-key switch on the case would work. Turn the key one way to enable firmware updates. Turn it the other to disable them. This should also be easy to replace and come as a standard sized device.

As an alternative, a 'security card' slot; similarly easily replaced or with an internal switch depressed re-'paired' to a new key.
Even in a remote world, it's still pretty painful to deal with large timezone differences. I don't want to work with people in india if I'm in the america timezone set, and if they could choose, people working for american companies in india would probably feel the same. Similar with european offices. NYC, Brazil and SF can all interact with each other well enough.

So even if the software world was remote, I still think you'd probably have to move to an american timezone somewhere.
A common point in Bitcoin submissions on HN is that a deflationary cryptocurrency would help with the inflationary currency (e.g. in Venezuela) and make it possible for the average person to build wealth.

I just looked up Venezuela's situation. Well, food prices are going up because diesel sanctions prevent farmers from running their tractors. That's definitively not a currency problem.
doesn't explain why European ones are happening in one factory
Ok. Linux 5.10 actually seemed to improve the power issue but my sound and mic breaks which I need for meetings.
Any function with positional parameters can look awful taken out of context.
x86 encoding is not that compact, especially if you're using some of the odder addressing modes or instructions. (the packing functions, xmm operations, etc) It wastes a fair number of single byte encodings on infrequently used instructions, like BCD arithmetic. An instruction set designed for space efficiency could be smaller without foregoing too much rational and orthogonal opcode design.

It's definitely more compact than a simplistic orthogonal opcode design with a generous allocation of registers, for sure.
This resonates with me. Recently my Samsung "smart" TV decided that after I turned off an input device, the appropriate behaviour was to immediately display some garbage "entertainment" channel called cheddar. I think it's what is played at gas station pumps?

The day that happened is the day my TV lost internet privilages (wifi is turned off) and we started just using a chromecast for all the "smart" functionalities.
I see red flags. I'd continue the side project until you get other offers.
> Not a huge fan of the Apple TV remote either (But I also don't hate it). The good news is that the Apple TV plays nice with stock TV remotes + game console controllers — I use my 8bitdo Sn30 Pro, but PS/Xbox controllers should work fine too.

Thanks, this is nice to know! I'll keep this in mind for whenever I'm ready to replace my Roku.
I think many of these points are valid for a type system like Java's but they hold less ground for other languages

a. Yes tests are still needed but you need far less of them thanks to type you can focus testing on the critical logic instead of validating input and output types.

b. Solved issue in modern pl, even php considers null a value of separate type.

c. This is a good point, but with values coming from outside the system, I'm forced to do run time checking because of types which makes the whole program more less error prone.

d. This is a very valid point for most mainstream typed programming languages, row polymorphism is one technique which helps here. Every function only specifies the key's it needs to work so it can receive arbitrary records. I believe this is also possible in python by typing out dict keys and values.
This is the wrong way to go.

Put together a battery, monitor, keyboard and pointer in a foldable package, with an open space to drop-in and connect one of the many mini PCs out there. The "laptop" part could last for decades, while the customer just swaps-out the mini PC inside it every couple years to upgrade.
Yeah weird, cause mine ran in the normal RPM range at those speeds.
Programming is easy, but requires a lot of pre-existing knowledge.

You'd have a hard time consuming an API if you don't understand what a request is..
That's true but that doesn't mean Huawei is making great profits selling phones in India.

An Android is good to talk on the phone, get SMS, and throw it out after 2 years. If it charges when you plug it into the charger 90% of the time you are doing pretty good.

In rural areas of the United States we have a system of factory constructed housing which is scaled in cost to the low cost of land.

Go into such a "trailer" (I have) and you may likely find somebody with a Amazon Fire tablet who is not really sure that it has anything to do with Amazon or that it is a Fire, etc.

It is a great piece of hardware for what it costs, you can get most of the software you want to work on it by sideloading and have better luck than Bluestacks, SHIELD and similar solutions. (No matter what they will serve up offensive ads for games you will never play.)

People say "Android Tablets are dead" but no the Fire is very viable if you want something to read PDF files on the bus and not feel bad to treat it rough because the replacement cost is so low.
At which point does it becomes difficult for
Mozilla to fund the research and development of Firefox?

Their ability to fund themselves is probably more a function of their user base size, not market share.

I worry about their falling market share in the sense that it:

1. Affects their ability to influence web standards in a positive and pro-user way.

2. Affects the willingness of developers and corporations to ensure that their sites work and work well on Firefox. Already, this is often an afterthought and has been for some time.
Because the only way to have that much in the first place is to decide "I will be keeping this, rather than using some significant portion of it to make the world a better place."

Like, for instance, by paying all Amazon workers enough, hiring enough that you don't have to schedule them so strictly that they don't have time to pee, not deliberately copying and undercutting independent products sold on Amazon...
Although I like IPython, I wouldn't want my system shell to be vulnerable to sudden destruction upon updating Python packages.
Apply already got "that" money. Future value works both ways.
There are absolutely people out there simply playing the diversity card to get attention. If you are pro-diversity, this shouldn't be something you want to deny exists, it should be something you want to prevent from happening, because it dilutes your interests.

It has nothing to do with the merits of diversity, it has to do with the fact that anything valued by society will have the signal forged by hucksters. Literally anything.
Many people have decided in the last couple of months that it's safe to restart the war on remote working. I think the attacks are likely to get increasingly intense and blunt.

A while back I read that people with root canal are far more likely to get cancer. The reasoning being that the empty root canal provides a pathway for bacteria/viruses to enter into the body. Causing chronic infections. Which leads to cancer.
Also sleep for me. So many times I've woken up in the morning with an obvious solution to something that had stumped me the previous day.
> There's nothing stopping you from composing things in Python.

There is, and you pointed it out yourself:

> I don't see why you would compose a TensorFlow model with a PyTorch model without incurring tons of overhead in your application around gluing these two things.

This is where Julia is profoundly different. Reusing stuff from different libraries is trivial compared to Python. You could take an activation function made for one libraries use it without any modification or wrapping in another ML library.

These is where Julia will win long term. If you look at the ML libraries in Julia they are tiny. The Python side of things require gargantuan effort because things are not composable. The wheel is reinvented over and over again.
Fellow IBS sufferer here. I understand and share your pain.

There isn't any magic pill yet but until someone invents it I can tell you I've found great comfort following the FODMAP diet.

What do you mean, Nomad does both CSI and CNI, optionally.
Yes but this doesn't matter really. What's important is that running the script twice will still give you right values. From a practical point of vue it is the same as idempotency, which is what matters.

Because other people on Hacker News always mention problems like them.
The move to .NET Core broke everything. PowerShell is still broken, with fundamental issues that may remain unresolved for a long time. I don't expect most people to switch over until PS v9.0 at the earliest.
Here are two not present in the comments so far.

Print subtitles (useful for old TVs that can't select a subtitle from streams or files; I use this to get my kids to watch movies in English):

-vf "ass=subtitle.ass"

or with .srt and in a huge yellow font

-vf "subtitles=subtitles.srt:force_style='Fontsize=36,PrimaryColour=&H0000FFFF'"

Extract 1 second of video every 90 seconds (if you have very long footage of a trip from a dashcam and you don't know what to do with it, that makes for a much shorter "souvenir"):

-vf "select='lt(mod(t,90),1)',setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB" -af "aselect='lt(mod(t,90),1)',asetpts=N/SR/TB"
Is it just me? this seem like it is a big deal.

By definition, any problems sent to a JSON endpoint necessarily needs to be caught at runtime. You can build up all sorts of defences up to the point of the service boundary, but at some point, something is going to be accepting messages from unknown or little-known services expressed as JSON documents and not a statically-typed interface. That's a pretty fundamental difference in my mind.
Throughout the winter my apartment's temperature drops to little above 10°C (f. 50). Some of my windows always stay open. I never turn on the heating, though I sleep with a thick blanket. I don't know if this could ever affect my weight; sleeping is actually comfortable though, the worst part being walking about semi-naked when going to and from the bathroom; when I'm at the computer, chilled hands usually prevent me from using keyboard & mouse effectively though, and I hate wearing gloves.

BTW I'm quite sure Homo Erectus/Abilis etc. mostly lived in Africa, and had fur.
You might explain this better to our American friends by reminding them of the fact that they have a highly commercial film and TV industry, where the profit and loss of individual shows is monitored very closely.

What works gets repeated and hence the industry is highly formulaic, with those in control of the money going for the explainable and repeatable.

That is not the case in other countries, where the lack of business sophistication has given more room for the creatives to flourish.
Except this doesn't apply for Dungeon Master, first because it is a great game as in a genre defining kind of game and secondly because at the time teenager me had dozens of games for my atari st all but two were copied: dungeon master and chaos strikes back (sequel to dungeon master).

Why ? because when I got my hands on the copied versions of the game it was badly cracked but still allowed me to play long enough to really get into the game until the party unexpectedly died.

Which means increasing sales is made through making really good games and that piracy channels can be leveraged to increase sales.
Just took a look at the SGP FAQ and saw this:

> SuperGenPass uses a one-way hash algorithm (base-64 MD5) to generate passwords. Specifically, it concatenates the master password and the domain name of the Web site (masterpassword:domain.com), hashes the result at least ten times (and until it satisfies the generated password requirements), and cuts the result to the desired length.

Yikes! MD5 is known to be broken, and 10 rounds of hashing is no defense against brute force attacks. Hashpass uses SHA-256 (not broken) and does 2^16 rounds of hashing.
> the days where you can sue, and win, over someone ripping off your "look and feel" are over, aren't they?

Most definitely not. As proof of that, take a look at all the knock-off luxury purses that are continuously being confiscated by the police as "counterfeit".

I think this is right and what we've heard from users is right. It's actually the same complaint from Uverse customers -- swapping out the ISP-provided CPE breaks their TV service.

It seems you've got a work-around. We'd love to update our knowledge base with this. I can't find contact info on your user page, can you email me david at opendns dot com as I have a few more questions.
A (possibly mutual) acquaintance just sent a copy my way. :D I'm off to bed, but will dig into it tomorrow. I really enjoyed LiSP, and really look forward to it!
I would remove one maybe both muches. I agree that in general SVMs are better but they are also every bit as black box. Deep belief networks though, are on another level. literally, svms are depth 2, dbn's are depth unbounded, i think.

This wasn't lite enough for you?
I'm confused as to why you claim DNSSEC removes user choice.

Clearly any client that wishes to can simply fail to set DO and ED and will receive a traditional, non-validated response.

If the client identifies that they wish authenticated data, they still have plenty of opportunities to act once they receive the authentic zone response. You mention mail host blacklisting, but typical DNS based blacklists have always been based on secondary lookups ie - 1.2.3.4.dnsbl.example.com - and not by forging the originator domain records.

I'm returning signed content from my server to an end user, whether I am a root server, tld, or single domain server. There is no more reason you should have the authority to alter that data than there would be if I was returning an HTTPS response.

It's only in the case where the client explicitly asks you to provide authenticated original zone data but you wish to return to them unauthenticated and modified zone data that you run into problems with DNSSEC.
Isn't this insecure? IIRC, the best way to backup data on a secure partition is to create another secure partition (with a different key/password) and sync files between them.
Click-through rate might be slightly more accurate than simply pushing everything, but it's not an ultimate solution because it too makes assumptions about your usage. The one assumes you want everything equally; the other assumes that your desires can be perfectly correlated to your clickthroughs. But that's not true for anybody; what's worse, the reason why it's false is different for everybody. (What if the people who interact with me are more active than the people I actively seek out, and Facebook misinterprets my responses as active interest? What if I'm simply innocently stalking a girl obsessively but actually find her updates bland and individually unworthwhile? One must think of the stalkers, especially if one is hoping to make money on the Internet.)

The real issue is that cases like those of anthuswilliams above you are unique and difficult to replicate. That's one of the noted problems with music recommendation services like Pandora too: What matters isn't what users tend towards but why, and why is a question that can't be effectively computed. It's more freeform.

I think the real solution would be a site that actively helps a user be responsible for himself. Something that doesn't simply indicate what features are available, but why users might want to use them to sort out their friends. Contrary to what the OP says in his blog post, that is possible today, but it requires responsibility on both the parts of the reader (who must sort his inputs neatly) and the publisher (who must figure out where to publish what). And web sites presently don't feel it's worth their time to help you with that task.
The fact that the project is more known for the abrasive nature of its team members than for its great software (like OpenSSH or OpenBGPD or PF) pretty much sums up the sad sad state of affairs.

It's their project and they can do as they damn well please, but really, a little kindness would go a long way. The software may be open, but the project is not.
PG - We still have not heard yes or no to our application for Responsely. We applied in January...but we also updated our application after the deadline to reflect our progress. So I am guessing this glitch effected our application.

Can you let me know the status?

Thank you,

Looks simple and good to me. However, on first glance, it's missing some quickstart guide/introduction and how to authenticate. Also, some calls seems to return nothing at all, is that correct?
Then instead of jumping to an almost certain death you and your fellow passengers can storm the cockpit, angrily beat up the murderous co-pilot and let the captain guide the aircraft to safety.

According to this article, that is unlikely to succeed:

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what's your reasoning for preferring a custom repo instead of a PPA?
That has been my experience too. But to be fair, half the breakages was Grunt, half was Yeoman. Then I figured that the tools I use (coffe, jade, stylus, Flask) all support live-reloading anyway so Yeoman was not useful for me. A simple 20 line bash/powershell script was enough.
I second this. Maybe they could add an extra note detailing any know user data retained by the service (at least as far as the general public knows)
Given how often resumes are given little more than cursory review (keyword scanning, etc.), I wonder how many companies using GitHub as a screening tool actually take the time to thoroughly review the candidate's work.

Everybody talks about code, but software is about more than code. When looking at a candidate's GitHub repo, is any consideration given to the quality of documentation, if it even exists (which it often doesn't), and how easily a project can be built and used? How many employers actually build and use a candidate's software? Some developers write gorgeous code but gorgeous code != great, usable software.
Is it fair to label this "extremely authoritarian" though? I tend to agree with Sustein's views as described in your comment (not the views described in OP's comment) but I don't consider myself authoritarian...
Yeah, like when the NFL DMCA'd Wendy Seltzer's YT video of the NFL's copyright notice plus a short clip of a Super Bowl® ^W^W Sports Championship kickoff. http://wendy.seltzer.org/blog/dmca-nfl
It is entirely unclear if it was purely aesthetic. The article points out that the color changes are extremely sensitive to small changes in ratios of different elements in the containing fluid. It is entirely possible (although I agree it is a stretch) that the color would change if the drink it contain was contaminated with a poison.

So what was it? Was it a cool glass that changed color? Or a gift from the Gods that showed the true nature of its contents? If it is as sensitive to change as the article suggests I could see passing it off as the latter.

My question then is why I can't get a wine glass today made this way? :-)
Ah, no wonder they decided they didn't want to pay their bill for vaccines anymore.
I'm not sure it would be considered a union if the people involved aren't being paid. However, there is already a public, collective, confrontational approach to dealing with an open source project with problematic leadership: forking.
And not just any breitbart link, but one to Milo "Toxic Insanity" Yiannopoulus quoting Pax "Asshat in Public" Dickinson. Genius.
Yes it's good to collaborate of course, but two days of(non-paid?) work seems quite much for a candidate with a few years experience
