Part of the problem with corporations is definitely that they're a massive concentration of money and power, with no person being responsible for it. If every company was just a small business of one or a handful of people working together, instead of this artificial legal construct that concentrates power and assets with no liability, these things would be a lot easier. But then you also can't do the massive investments that corporations do.
As someone who works in tech sales - the real bullshit here is that this is some right-out-of-college 22 y/o entry level sales person (SDR) who was likely told to to take this list and message everyone on linkedin 1x1.

The negative impact of this goes on his shoulders where the positive responses from this get passed off to someone else who is outside the blast radius.

Stuff like this is the norm when sales is viewed as an extension of marketing ("we need more leads") and not as a function that helps companies coordinate the evaluation and purchase of software ("we need to find out if this is the right fit for them") and the ones who pay the highest price are at the lowest levels when it's executives who are giving the orders.
The inability to dial in without first performing some form of NAT traversal to escape CGNAT is an interesting take on what being on the internet means (especially since >99% of users need to do this with normal NAT even when they have a public IP anyways) but even if you accept this "WSP" is still being pulled out of thin air as there isn't anything special about accessing the web vs any other thing on the internet.

Either way v6 is definitely as much the internet as v4 and NAT64 is not really worse (though different) than NAT44 when it comes to accessing that half of things.
Zig has a very simple and straightforward solution: Every standard library function which needs to allocate takes an allocator argument. That way it's immediately obvious what functions are potentially expensive. It's not even a magic compiler or language feature, just a standard library convention.
It's yet another thing added to the long list of things that Apple devices phone home to Apple servers about, even if you don't want to use any Apple services and opt out of all of them (all that
you can; App Store/Apple ID is mandatory as there is no sideloading).

There's a growing list.
While I'm sure this is true, it really depends on whether it's your business, how much of the product is 'yours', etc. Most people however work for a salary and don't feel like hours invested equals return on investment. The latter is one of the main causes of burn-out; forcing yourself to spend hours and energy on something that does not have good return on investment. Setbacks weigh more heavily.

I think that in a few years your opinion may change again. Until then, I hope you're getting good ROI, and I'll admit that I'm a bit jealous as well.
The other week I similarly saw a conversation about calendar optimization to not look like Swiss cheese turn towards discussing the process of making Greek yogurt.
> You buy a dishwasher from Best Buy. They send your name and address to Maytag.

For warranty purposes of course

> You buy soap from Walmart. They send your name and address to Johnson & Johnson.

In case they need to recall the soap

> You buy a sandwich at your local deli. They send your name and address to Boar’s Head. Cool?

So you can get some cool Boar's Head swag!

Just kidding of course. We need much better data privacy protection.
Chien-Shiung Wu is the "First Lady of Physics" here.

> Chien-Shiung Wu, a Chinese-born American physicist, will be commemorated with a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) stamp for her significant contributions in nuclear physics during her 40-year career. More specifically, Wu’s experiment on parity violation that had a monumental impact on particle theory and floored physicists at the time, reports Adrian Cho for Science.

Completely unrelated: "The first lady of the internet" has a more colorful story behind it. I'd recommend looking it up. Depending on what sources you find, this story might not be entirely SFW. :)
People die in prisons too, that doesn't make them extermination camps.
At first I misread the headline as "Lisp: The Geek's Wonder Drug".

Ha, maybe that works too ;)
I was thinking the same thing. The catalog of algorithms at the end of the book is indispensable.

This site does seem to cover a much broader range of algorithms though.
It's way, way too far ahead of its time. If Functional Programming manages to hit the mainstream, this is one plausible direction that it could move in after that. It will be much easier to start talking people into an approach like this once they've absorbed that stuff, and it will probably be much easier to implement in strong functional programming languages with good type systems than on top of objects.
Ah I see, sorry, that makes sense.
Imagine harder. Can you imagine a cop being worse at their job than everyone you currently work with? If people could not take things from evidence, evidence would not go missing. It happens less in larger departments that have more secure protocols for evidence handling, but in those cases, the stuff mainly gets stolen by evidence tech employees that know better how to cheat the system. It disappears just as surely as merchandise is stolen from Wal-Mart by its own employees.

Even if it was not evidence from another case, I don't think that new glass drug pipes are hard to obtain. After all, cocaine addicts that have smoked up everything else in their life can still get them. Cops have closer physical proximity to that lifestyle, and could pick up an abandoned pipe from one place, and later drop it where it would be more useful.

This type of misbehavior has been documented on bodycams, when the cop thought the recording device was on standby. Drop contraband, turn on bodycam, "find" contraband, arrest suspect for possession of contraband. Cops that cut corners to take down drug dealers--or other people whom they just know are guilty--think they are doing the right thing.
https://www.google.com/search?q=dating+app+focused+on+actual...

The app I was actually looking for with the search isn't in the top 10, but you can see that it's been tried more than once.

Do you mean paying a potential match? It would be a dating site for cam girls and professional escorts.

I mean, you might actually be on to something there :)
Obviously solution is monopoly :D
Spend as little time as possible on social media and only use twitter for those rare occasions you need to interface with professionals. Never share your personal information online ever. Never ever ever take social media content seriously. Always expect it to be advertisement deception and/or garbage.
Even if 10980XE downclocks to 2.8GHz while using AVX512, it's still 10x faster in MKL than Threadripper 1/MKL.

From the AnandTech review, 3D particle test was showing AVX512 effect nicely:

https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph15044/113590.png

10980XE had 3.9x speedup compared to 3970WX per core using AVX512.

So for some scientific computing purposes (maybe game physics?) AVX512 is worth it.
I'd agree. I've seen people who try to min-max their life and "fulfilled" is not a word I'd use to describe them.
Author of the post is blind so I'd imagine the usage of Lynx is for screen reading/accessibility reasons.
Since it's a paid service, you should be more transparent about user privacy and security.
Great question to be asking. I agree users are indifferent, but there are two ways in which this applies:

(1) They aren't going to go out of their way to switch from X11 to Wayland. Many users don't even know (or care) what those two things are. Or they do but they don't see the required effort as justified.

(2) Users also aren't going to out of their way to change the default that their Linux distribution supplies. Not unless there are issues that are bad enough to warrant expending that effort. If it defaults to X11, they'll use X11. If it defaults to Wayland, they'll use Wayland.

The major risk I see to Wayland adoption is if distros play it wrong and default to Wayland before it's ready for prime time. If that happens, then users will get a bad taste in their mouth, and their indifference will get replaced with a preference against Wayland. And it will be hard to erase that preference because even if you fix all the issues, they will still remember that time when they tried it and it caused them problems.
I applaud Italy for taking an aggressive stance as long as they are sure of what they are doing. I think very well this might come and bite them in the ass and I certainly won't feel sympathy for them if it does. However, if they can use this as a tool to bargain for better and more equitable arrangements and turn it into something sustainable , more power to them.
True that! Though then you would get into games of companies hiding profit to avoid paying.
Having the capabilities, to me, implies nothing. What you do with gathered information is up to you. No one else has any capacity, capability, to gather, to understand, to begin to consider. We all live in eternal, scattered, not just unconnected, but unconnectable, un-understandable forms. The possibility should exist to try to harness our many forms. The digital should be a channel to explore, view, gather, from which understanding might possibly begin. But we have only ephemera, our thought & action owned inside other people's clouds.
I've done so many projects that revolved around instrumenting every little click and creating A and B versions of an experience to run tests against and in all that time I can't recall a single useful product decision that was actually informed by the collected data.

I would disagree on user research. It works on certain types of broad questions like messaging and branding. It's probably overused though.
Yes, you could buy put options on S&P500 or the Nasdaq 100.
Review the part where they only do this until the competitors are out of business. It's called predatory pricing and is an antitrust violation when companies do it.
I use uBlock and a hosts file. Didn't even know reddit had ads.
Ubuntu rewrote it's installer GUI in Flutter.
This is the right way - what you see constantly will eventually program you a certain way. If you want to be a troll-y sarcastic person, make sure you see lots of tweets like that. Want to be a person who constantly dunks on the success of others, make sure you have lots of tweets to read like that.

Don't want to be that kind of person? Better make sure you are not consuming that kind of stuff. It starts to come out unconsciously if you are not careful.
“ what they lack back home and went in search of outside of the EU. ” that’s a very heavy selection bias. The Americans I’ve talked to in Europe doesn’t represent those that I’ve talked to in America. There’s a reason people both leave and stay.
You should definitely submit that someday—just leave enough time for the hivemind caches to clear (ideally a few months). If you do, email us at hn@ycombinator.com so we can put it in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it will get a random placement on HN's front page.
The problem would be a whole lot smaller if those successful companies there in the Valley didn't all evade taxes by offshoring their assets in places where there's little or no tax.
I'm sorry to hear you thought the post was snarky. Our goal was to bid a lighthearted farewell to our blue logo and raise money for patients. No hard feelings toward the company. We chose not to name them because it wasn't the point of the post, not because of any legal obligation.
Televisions have upscale algorithms. But nothing like this. But they don't need anything like this because they don't scale pixle art with sharp borders and very low resolution. They scale video footage (which one could say is "anti-aliased") with about 640x480 resolution.
Ideally a growing city would build enough new housing to accommodate all it's citizens. If there isn't enough built, developers will spend their square footage on the highest paying people first. And generally the rich are better at effective NIMBYism than poor people, meaning that new development aimed at rich people gets pushed into poor neighborhoods, which does actually suck for poor people. The best solution is not to panic about the second order effects, but to try to get to the root of the problem and build more housing, and do it everywhere.
Apigee (Palo Alto, REMOTE, H1B) — Developer Advocates, Java Developers, Mobile Developers.

Apigee is dedicated to powering the API & Mobile revolutions. We are helping thousands of developers build API-driven infrastructure and mobile apps every day. Our technology is used at Gilt, Getty Images, Tout, Walgreens, OnStar, eBay, GameSpy, Citrix, AT&T, Pearson, ConstantContact, Best Buy, Dell, Comcast and hundreds of others.

We offer catered lunches, full health/dental/life/401k, above-market salaries, options, unlimited vacation and flexible hours.

We are actively hiring for App Services (our Mobile Backend-as-a-Service technology). Our stack is fully open-source (https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-stack) and our hosted service is currently in open Beta. We are built on top of Jersey, Jackson and Cassandra (we gutted a lot of the latter and built our own indexing system, query system, storage format and multi-tenancy strategy on top of it).

Our newest open position is Developer Advocate. Our developer advocates partner up with indie developers & startups to ensure they have a successful launch on our platform; meet people from all walks of life from around the world and help them build apps and APIs; bring feedback from the trenches to the product. This is not solutions architecture or community bootstrapping. This is about helping our existing, vibrant community of indie developers into being even more successful than they already are without our help :) (More details here: http://apigee.com/about/jobs/developer-advocate)

We are also looking for Java Developers to join our Core team and help us overcome the next-generation technical challenges, from Websockets to multi-DC, log routing and beyond! Not much is required except familiarity with at least one NOSQL database, a good understanding of the Spring framework, and solid experience in having fun.

Finally, we are looking for Mobile developers with at least 1 year experience in one of iOS, Android or JavaScript+HTML5 development to work on our SDKs and a range of exciting mobile apps.

Want to apply? Have some questions? Want to join but don’t match either position? Then get in touch! ➝ tim@apigee.com
That is probably part of it, but I suspect that the bigger issue is that recent immigration policy heavily favors (legal) immigrants with advanced degrees, and consequently high earning potential.
Nope - you have quoted out of context, deliberately ignoring: "He was a bit of a douche, mostly by shirking low-visibility projects and getting disproportionate amounts of credit..."
They give themselves too much credit for the SSL prediction. Firesheep wasn't a new attack on an SSL, it was an old one in a package so convenient that everyone finally paid attention. For a moment.

As for GSM, yeah, that's just the old "computers will keep getting cheaper and more powerful" prediction, dressed up.
I just had to reduce the % resolution of the browser to fit both links in the same view.
Meh, I got a cheap tablet that has done me good for what I wanted it to do. I don't expect something like that to stay up to day with technology when I buy it.
A lot of companies fund development directly, which one can see in the commit logs: Netflix, NetApp, Dell-EMC Isilon, Mellanox/Nvidia, Rubicon/Netgate, Yandex, iXsystems, etc. Facebook hired the guy who wrote jemalloc, which started in FreeBSD originally.

Doing a search for "Sponsored by" would give plenty of results over the years.

The Foundation helps with other things besides code, like infrastructure (though they hire developers too: emaste@ is doing a bunch of sponsored work given recent commits).
>His theoretical work allowed the Euro to be developed (which may or may not have been a good idea).

It's pretty much one of the most dysfunctional currencies out there.
It's important to look on social mobility vs financial mobility. Even though you have high income mobility in a rich country like Norway there is still poor social mobility.
You said you were interested in methodological ideas, so I'm going to add another comment. Based on the head-to-head rankings of MIT versus other top schools, it looks like MIT should have an Elo rating on your scale somewhere around 1800, which would give it a ranking somewhere around #4, which seems intuitively reasonable.

But it is possible that MIT loses more than it should (if it were 1800) against much lower ranked colleges (e.g. Boston University (Elo 1434), which your site gives winning against MIT 28% of the time). What might be happening is that MIT accepts some fraction of students who are weaker academically for a variety of reasons, but those students are intimidated by MIT's reputation for being academically intense, and decide not to attend. My guess is that among strong students (e.g. students with higher SAT scores), MIT's rating would be much higher than among all students.

This is also consistent with your suggestion that Avery et.al. used students from elite high schools.

So if you want to get ratings that are more in line with what people think of the colleges (e.g. where is a good student who gets into both A and B likely to go) you should probably consider students who have high SATs, or alternatively students who get into a lot of top-ranked colleges, to be more "valuable" and thus to be more important for the rating.
Really!? Afaik a iPhone 3gs on ebay can easily fetch $300-$400 why trade it away for $200. Drop me an email if somebody is selling an 3gs in good condition for $200.
As I have pointed out in other comments, this article is a very short snippet of something they must have devoted a great part of their daily lives to for over a decade, you can hardly expect it to explore every avenue they took. They point out as much in the comments, talking about how they consulted with a vast array of people on the problem of their son's homeless girlfriend.

I think the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and by the sounds of it he has grown into a highly functional, and successful individual. This bears out a hypothesis that they were not systemically bad parents, rather they were dealing with a rather screwed up child/situation and were making the best of it.
Django
Why:
1. Uses Python

2. Free hosting on Google App Engine
(note: to Heroku proponents 5Mb storage is a joke)

3. Python is extensible in a way ruby isnt, even OpenCV has a python port

Finally ruby is more popular with hip programmer crowd (HN reading, Latte sipping, Apple fanbois, with no CS degrees )

While Python is more popular with "gets work done", Googler's and Advanced CS degree holders (E.g. nearly all top CS departments prefer Python after C++ and maybe java), you would be lucky if you found someone using Ruby.
If you dont believe me, here is State Of Art OSS in Machine Learning
http://mloss.org/software/search/?searchterm=python&post...

Finally
Since you are from ASP.NET background, have a look at SCALA it seems to be a nice language and its based on JVM. And twitter started using it after running in issues with Ruby.
(Another reason why Ruby should be avoided, consider that python was used for Youtube)
Excel is good in some ways, not in all. We've always had this issue running reports on Excel instead of Oracle because it was much faster at that moment than waiting for IT to fix the bugs. Business processes aside, the results can be devastating once the data you wanted inside Oracle is still sitting on that Excel spreadsheet. Reports generated in Oracle become inaccurate, schedules get delayed, employees work late, everyone becomes miserable.

The one good thing why software and platforms are created is control. The only challenge is how can someone create a seamless web 2.0 spreadsheet almost similar to Google spreadsheets but definitely with more flexibility as Excel's and more security-enabled features like any other enterprise software.

Yes, I saw that startup idea below. If someone wants to do something about it, I'm in like Flynn.
That's the good parts, not the goof parts, heh. I second the recommendation, but I think it should be the second Javascript book read after the latest edition of Javascript (The Definite Guide, by Flanagan). JQuery follows.
i don't know. your argument feel intuitive, but itistoday has concrete examples of why the situation was actually positive. that "A 9 year old is emotionally and mentally streets away from a teenager" is an abstract concern to me - what exactly is the problem here? compounded by the fact that things turned out fine for the kid in the story.
Whats the networth of the W brothers (the ones that Zuck stole FB from?)
As someone that's been watching the process fairly closely, that's not my read on the situation. I think it's moreso just a new technology that takes time to perfect, and Ethereum is a large ship, hence "changing course" take a lot of effort.
I believe the reason is that volume is too low. The radiation hardened chips for Curiosity and Perseverance are variants of Power chips made by BAE.
I am surprised though that they have not released any newer chip in time for Percy. There is a newer generation, the 5500, but I believe it was not ready for Percy. Percy uses the same chip as Curio.
You know, I had that thought while writing it.

I wouldn’t want to force any particular versioning scheme on any particular developer, but maybe the “SemVer façade” versioning scheme they switched to is the best compromise. It has defensive value, at least.

Then again, PEP 440 has nothing to say about the semantics of versioning, only requiring:

[N!]N(.N)*[{a|b|rc}N][.postN][.devN]

PyPA themselves describe various expected versioning schemes, but listing Semantic as preferred[1]. If I squint, I can fit `cryptography`’s previous scheme into “Hybrid”. The biggest lesson I take from this is that if your version scheme isn’t SemVer, work hard to make it look obviously different from SemVer.

You've made a really handy cheat sheet, thanks! Bookmarked it for future use!

And yeah, it's great, and not just for gifs. Just quickly re-encoding something in a different format / container is so much easier than faffing around opening a proper program.

Took a while to not get annoyed with it though and figure out annoying watch-outs like -pix_fmt yuv420p, which I now finally have memorised.
So I have been running a PbP ("Play by Post") Pathfinder game at Paizo.com during the whole lockdown situation. This is basically a D&D-type game played standard forum posts - play episodically (normally, players post once a day and then the GM posts what happens and repeat). I love the approach for the expression it allows. Players and gm can riff off each other's writing, etc.

Still, what I'd be curious about I'd be curious about whether there are systems that allow something like a fusion of the most "manual" approach of PbP and an automatic system like a MUD? For example, allow players to interact with a room but have their interaction stop when they leave and then allow the GM narrate. Or things like that? Anyone know any software/sites like this that exist?
What makes it a nightmare? Can you share a few issues you've run into?
