Sure. I guess the implementation would be important. The screenshot toward the end of the 37s post suggests that employees have an opportunity to advertise their accomplishments, to which their peers can then respond with fractional portions of their available bonus funds. My guess is that accomplishments that demonstrably move this business forward may get exceedingly large payouts, but that wouldn't preclude server guy or Shopify's 71-year old office manager from getting regular (if smaller) disbursements.
It is slow for me as well. It seems that page needs some optimizations in order to be served and rendered faster when the server is under heavy loads.

1. I checked responses using FireBug plugin and it seems that pages are served uncompressed. For example the front page of the site (only html) is 31K uncompressed, with gzip compression it becomes 6.3K (80% smaller size means 80% less bandwidth to use). Most of web servers support compression.

2. All pages seem to be generated on every request, e.g. no HTTP cache is used on server side. Because I did not found any response headers set by caches. If for example, each page was cached just for 1 to 5 seconds it will reduce the stress on database and cpu significantly. On the other hand it will not impact user experience, because cached version is short lived and fresh results will appear on time. For example the front page is the most requested page of the site, assume that it is requested 100 times per second which means 100 queries to the database etc. If this page is cached for 1 second queries and html composition is reduced to 1 time per second. Personally, HTTP caching on server side is my favorite choice because you don't need to modify the program to use it. (super-fast Varnish cache is the most flexible solution I found).
Please note the date change! (Normally, we meet the last Friday of each month, but we've moved up to 11/19 due to Thanksgiving.)

Last time we had ~30 attendees and basically filled the entire venue.

RSVP requested. Free event, but the coffee shop owner likes to get a headcount to reserve seating for us.
I saw this on my friend's facebook feed and left this comment.

Yo this whole thing fascinates me like crazy so I've spent some time researching shit, and I still only understand the crust of it. But since I'm bored, here's what I know.
Alright, so there's two camps. First is the paul krugman camp which thinks that during a recession a government needs to spend like crazy to cause consumption and inflation. Consumption is good since spending has ripple effects on an economy. It's not obvious (and definitely not proven) that deflation is necessarily bad though. The main case is that in a deflationary economy, people spend less and save more since there's a natural yield to holding your money, which in turn can cause more deflation. And since it's hard to cut wages (or they say it is), wages become out of wack with the economy.

Japan is always pointed to as the example of a zombie economy and what could happen to the US. This is the thing though - economists are so fucking caught up in their own theories and numbers that they forget about reality. They mistake symbols for economic growth (indicators) for real well being in a country. Japan is still one of the largest economies in the world, has one of the largest middle classes, lowest income disparity, and lowest unemployment in the world. I frankly can't understand why people keep shit talking Japan's economy as this nightmare when they seem to be doing pretty fucking well. They still MAKE things there like cars and have a nice mix of industry. They don't fit the economist mold of success and despite the reality that they're in many respects doing better than the US, they're the example of the worst case scenario of a deflationary spiral. Fucking academics...

Anyways, back to the point at hand. Even if you believe the krugman camp, it seems to me that all they are really doing is trying to control economic boom and busts and by doing so, only causing more of them. For example, let's say deflation happens - as long as you have an open economy (and the US does) - wages will decrease and eventually people will start spending again. The fact is that spending was way out of wack before and falsely propped up the economy. During the last two booms, the US was the only country where spending was higher than income - or negative savings, which is "good" for the economy by economist's standards, it's clearly something you can't maintain. So rather than let shit calibrate itself and fall in line, the government is like "woah - we need to spend for the people since they wont".

Anyways, capitalism is fun yo.

Oh and I forgot to mention that reading up on this stuff, my respect for economists has fallen like crazy. This is a blanket statement that I'm sure it'll turn out I'm wrong about, but seems to me that economic theory is really just a game of anyone's best guess with the addition of math to make the whole thing look sophisticated, when it's really just one big exercise in false precision and dick measuring.
These kind of "popups" have made me Ctrl-W trigger happy. I'm sure others do the same and make the bounce rates sky high.

Sadly, the websites that feel OK abusing their visitors this way are the same websites that don't measure bouce rates.
> "All other providers do require a BT line"

Untrue. Most exchanges now have LLU which allows you to get your phone+ADSL from other providers. You may still need to get your phone line from BT, but that's not the case in many places.
Definitely slower than usual.

Yes, there were political changes. The question was "name a generation that hasn't seen groundbreaking technological changes".

My thesis is that the rate of technological breakthroughs has been very high for the last 200 years.

It's not that it's a taboo, it's the fact they break the persons Wudo (abulution to gain ritual purity). What this means practically is you would need to change your clothes and perform abulution if you wanted to pray; which you do, five times a day. Now day to day working life, this can be difficult, finding a toilet/mosque etc. So it's easier to stay clear of dogs. Muslims don't hate dogs per se (obviously there will be culture bias), or any other animal. We are told to respect all living beings including trees. -- Source - I'm a muslim, though there's probably a lot i've missed, and not an expert.
Unless you can get your hands on a powerful magnetic monopole, the field falls off with the inverse CUBE of distance. (Note: noone has so far managed to get their hands on a magnetic monopole, powerful or otherwise.)
Have you tried configuring it? It has a slider that you can adjust to set a minimum power level, so that if the device is too far away it locks anyway, even if it can still detect it.
Thee is a meaningless difference between renting and owning 50+% the value of your home.

Looks for the % of Americans that own 95% of their home and try again.

PS: Out of 300 million There are under ~21 million households that own their home actually own their home.
It's surprising how many people are dateable once you remove looks from the equation.
Reminded me of "The Entire History of You" from Black Mirror[1] tv series (I really don't feel like calling it that way, it's more like a separate movies). I highly recommend it.

I wonder how long it takes before those lower(st) paid jobs for those that are not specialized in anything will be in something like mechanical turk. Especially in this example it's visible that those can sometimes require somewhat local workers, so they may spread outside countries with lowest cost of living.
I find it sad that she needs an invisible boyfriend ... her friends and family shouldn't be pressuring her and if she's got someone harassing her, will showing him a text really stop it?

Both these scenarios assume she's happy without a BF but the fact that she describes feeling that she might have fallen in love could also mean she actually wants a boyfriend but can't find one. Things are tougher on women these days (http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2011/02/sex_i...).
I don't think deep pockets has anything to do with it. I have plenty of clients with very shallow pockets who would gladly pay me to find a better solution than a slow 2 MB image download or a compromised visual style.
The HVAC industry is growing faster with each passing day. It is the industry that will never face any kind of a shortage of needs, there will always be homeowners or business owners who will need HVAC services now and then.
> The NFT ecosystem makes it super easy for people to look at listed art and ensure that the proper artist is getting paid.

How so? Walk us through the steps that ensure the proper artist is getting paid

> If they fail to do their due diligence, then the NFT they paid for is worthless

So:

- the person who paid for stolen art was scammed out of their money

- the original artists weren't paid

- the scammer got the money

I see, NFT is working as intended

> What it does do is prevent people from effectively profiting off IP theft.

How come people are profiting off IP theft on NFTs right now?

I recently used the same Cloudflare Tunnel project to put an internal hosted service behind Cloudflare access.

I chose this over Wireguard because it integrates with our SSO system and users don't have to configure a firewall client. In fact, most users don't know we even did anything special to secure the service.

Secondly, I can set up wireguard, but then I would be responsible for maintenance, keeping the instance up and patched etc. You may save money by using Wireguard, but you pay for it in time, which is the only thing you cannot buy.
Well, it's probably true, so let them get riled.
TL,DR... Do not close.
"The best option energy wise would be to have the satellite adjust its obit"

The best option is to do the math first and plot an orbit that will avoid all the existing known objects for the given satellite's entire active period. And maybe a built-in decommissioning mechanism that will throw it back to the ground afterwards.
How about hackety-hack.com?
I use Richard Clark's CSS Reset paired with my custom-built scaffolding CSS stylesheet. It rips out all the base styles applied by browsers, and builds them back up so that absolutely everything: fonts, form elements, tables, code blocks, etc not only all look identical in every browser, but are easy on the eyes.

I find it pretty laughable that developers ignore Resets because of a little extra noise in their CSS debuggers. That's like advocating against using a framework for another language because your stack traces are a little longer by default. In Chrome's Dev Tools you can hover over any final computed style to determine exactly what file and line it came from, and the rules are shown most-specific first. I rarely if ever have to scroll down to the broader rules where the duplicated Reset noise tends to be more prominent. I haven't used Firebug in a year or two, but I'm assuming it has similar developer-friendly functionality.
That only normalizes natural variances in your patients, not artificial biases introduced by the healthcare system. Pump and other hardware measuring out dosages might come from different manufacturers or be calibrated and serviced by different technicians. Maybe the study includes one too many hospitals in a region dominated by one manufacturer whose hardware tends to error more in one direction than other manufacturers. The generics used by pharmacies and hospitals might be slightly different because of local relationships. Exercise, ability to have visitation in quarantine, and other amenities in hospitals will have differing impacts on confounding factors like exercise and morale. And on and on.

There are a bunch of "contract research organizations" all over the world, quite a few of them making billions of dollars a year, who specialize only in running clinical trials because these things are so complicated. The documentation for clinical trials are often thousands of pages long describing tiny details like device calibration across hospitals trying to eliminate as many risks as possible. These organizations tend to have long standing relationships with hospitals and host many different trials in each one with a bunch more subcontractors who do patient selection.
Feedly replicated it when reader stopped.
It's a mix, and from my work and discussions on getting a GPU running (or not...), it seems to make debugging even harder if I can't figure out if it's bad memory access or an actual hardware feature that's just not there.

I've been tracking progress on this site / repo: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/
Against other EVs Tesla wins in all of those, although some people are confused by the up front cost and are ignorant about how the car saves you money.

Against ICE, some ICE cars have longer range but it’s not any kind of issue as long as you are in the developed world since the charging networks are so great and only getting better.
> For all we know urban environments are 70% INTJ.

There are 16 categories, which means you'd expect about 6% in each if the test sorts evenly. It doesn't; in fact only between 2% and 3% of the population is INTJ. Unless one of the questions is literally "are you a tech worker", that's very conspicuous selectivity.
It kept archives of defunct blogs. When Reader went away, they just deleted it all. Also, it's less useful for a smaller site to have social sharing features when we used to have a Google-sized network of readers.
Do you believe that measurement is actually accurate?
Thanks for clarifying that, I have seen the dialog before, but never investigated what it actually does.

It sounds like something which started out as a good idea and was then steered into user abuse territory.
What do bundles for Windows and MacOS use?

Do Windows and MacOS have their own libraries separate from OpenSSL? Do applications statically link OpenSSL? What library does Python use on Windows?
I think it's inertia. A lot of people have been using MySQL for 10+ years and it's still Good Enough. It takes them an extra 10 minutes to figure out how authentication or permissions work in postgres, and that extra 10 minutes isn't worth it.
The videos make me irrationally annoyed. When you're showing me something in a faux-browser frame, why does it have to slowly move and twist? It's so distracting that I have no idea what features were actually shown.

Like a sibling comment, I'm also wondering what benefit this has over a blog. I've never met anyone with the specific pain point of 1) having releases, 2) writing release notes, and 3) not knowing how to publish them quickly.

The pain point of release notes is usually upstream, at the point where the git commit log (or bug tracker) needs to be typed up into a nice report.
The discourse around how to build software is just terrible in general. This is sound advice and yet it's seen in many circles as tilting at windmills. Meanwhile, devs are happy to write off days/weeks with the makework of upgrading their apps to stay up-to-date with frameworks. Productivity is confused with a feeling of power.

I suspect some people value frameworks more highly because they perceive them as coming bundled with a community (e.g. support). This consideration outweighs the architectural damage done in their minds. I'm not disparaging this. But as devs mature and age, they gain confidence, and eventually realize that every project doesn't need to automatically start out with a framework.
Tesla isn't selling self driving on these cares without a retrofit per the article.
It'll be fascinating to see if/when/how this rolls out internationally, which isn't mentioned at all in the article.
Agree 100%. I worked in Haskell project too, which overall was fun but it came with many drawbacks.

> Software developers who only look for jobs always in That One Language freak me out.

Indeed, I understand personal preferences, but it's hard to work with people who are religious about languages.
> A team can often agree

this usually just means new team members are stuck respecting the wishes of the old-timers
Completely moronic take on this.

We have no idea what this level of stimulation is doing to boys at development.

I think you are confusing the moral aspects with the unknowns here.
I guess it was a good thing that Square had to move quickly, Since Stripe threw the gauntlet at them for just the reader [0] (If you don't have an iPhone).

Now they are directly allowing payments from the phone. No need for readers at all. Next will be the iPad as the integrated terminal with NFC and no external equipment.

But there remains the next one. Cryptocurrency payments which both of them are still in.

It sounds like you feel your dream is unachievable, not that it's the wrong dream. I'd at least spend some more time exploring how else you can achieve it. Transfer to a different school without switching fields? Do the 5 year program in six years? Do a different program that still leads to a career in machine learning? Just take a break and go back to school in a few months?

Just throwing some thoughts out, but it sounds like you're burned out because you've lost touch with what made you passionate about this in the first place and it seems a pity to abandon it without exploring other paths to the same goal.
Even in the US, such as in my town in Massachusetts, tap water--though safe to drink due to chlorination--is quite disgusting due to high levels of minerals from well water. First world problems right?
If it is, it is not because of the distance from the Sun, but because of the distribution of land vs. sea.
Let's just skip this like we did with IPv5.
Using more than one base station will always allow triangulation on a signal. This will physically track the connected party, but will not, alone, identify the party.
So how does this compare to boost::filesystem ?
That's not about path manipulation. It's about resizing the hash table that is required for keeping track of hard links when copying hundreds of millions of files using cp. The path manipulation that cp does would still be inconsequential in that example.
Not sure if these could be used for an IMSI catcher, but a comment in one of the recent 31C3 presentations led me to this link: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/baby-monitor/

Baby monitors with SDRs! I didn't know these existed.

I find this scary. Awesome, but scary.
That's true if all you do is teach Calc 101, but most departments don't let professors do that...

This is not true of anyplace I'm aware of. Every place that I've been to, unless you went out of your way to request it, you taught Calc 1-4, "Math for Non-Math Majors", or perhaps Linear Algebra/Complex Analysis for EE. If you want to teach primarily advanced courses, you need to make special arrangements and you probably need leverage.

Further, even the advanced courses don't change much. My first semester in grad school, I took Real/Complex/Functional Analysis and Algebra. Functional Analysis was the most modern topic - some of the material was developed in the 80's.

I really have no idea where you are getting your information from, but I don't think your college experience was typical.
He brings out a good point: there was a warrant. While I'm not convinced that this is strictly... right, it does seem at least some level of due process was followed.

I'm not even sure there is a legal framework for shutting websites and internet infrastructure down.

It reminds me a little bit of Sterling's Hacker Crackdown - there is still an electronic frontier.
Google used to have this thing where you could promote and demote search results. They got rid of it. I never understood why.

Ideally, Google's search results would include up votes/down votes like reddit along with comments on the page.
I'd suggest maybe look at algo trading rather than HF, it's much more accesible to outsiders, plus you can use the algorithms on places like betfair and stand a decent chance of actually making money.
Of course it's a trade. Anything that you can have a 'career' in is a trade.

The real meat of the article is actually about the best people in a trade vs the grunts. The best people end up with all the really interesting problems, where grunts dream about having those problems.

Except, that's not entirely true, is it? Only the grunts who actually like the job care about that. The rest just care about making money. They hope to never have a new problem and just want to get through another day.

And the grunts who just dream about those problems and never seek to actually try them... I feel bad for them. It's not that they can't. It's that they won't make the time or don't have the willpower to try it. It's a lot easier to work on a problem when someone is telling you to. To decide to solve a problem on your own is a lot harder.
These are all nice, but I think the #1 important thing to take away is to focus on big ideas and high-level concepts and communicate them clearly. If the slides confuse the viewer or distract them with overly chic typography, they can't be considered successful.

Ultimately, you have to drill down and ask yourself how you can distill the essence of what you want to pitch into a very brief yet powerful slide. Hopefully these slides can help some to do that!
