Similar here, currently living most of the time alone (gf's work is temporarily 200 km away), and the "chores", shrink to 30mins/week cleaning of appartment (max), spending maybe 10 mins/week cleaning dishes, and doing laundry takes away another 10 per week. Shopping? Extra 30-60 mins/week.

I would even go further and say these activities are necessary for some sort of mental balance (for lack of better words). What I mean - life isn't always about nice & easy experiences. One needs a bit of fortitude, resillience when you are facing with some "have-to-be-done" mundane or hard task to just move forward. Be it professional, be it in parenting, be it in adventures. When I look around me, I see a lot of successful, bright people that are incredibly spoiled in interesting way - any at least a bit boring activity appears on horizon, they are going nuts. Well, however hard you try, you cannot avoid these things in life, so better be okay when dealing with those.

I dont' want to sound extreme, some things can be done online easily and save a lot of time (managing bank accounts vs visiting local branch), just that some middle path by taking best of both worlds/approaches seems better to me. The situations in article seem on extreme end of scale (even within such a bubble as SF seems to be).

So, for that delivery guy, living in similar appartment building sounds like a dream. For me, I wouldn't call it nightmare, but definitely a bit sad life I wouldn't like to live.
Did you ever grab dinner?

What did you switch to using? My mum has an iPad, my wife has an iPad and also an Android phone, I have a Mac, my brothers have Android phones; do I just spam everyone on each network (Messages / Talk / Hangouts / Skype)? I tend to now SMS everyone - at least that's mostly universal (but my mum will never get any messages).

I would use Skype but it enjoys eating battery as a hobby on both mobile and desktop/laptop.
You don't even need to use it. The mere knowledge that it likely happens (not even evidence) is sufficient to substantially affect how people act.

I was involved with left wing groups in Norway in the early 90's, and pretty much everyone I knew who were a bit older than me either flat out knew, or had strong reasons to believe, they were under active, blatantly illegal, surveillance (the evidence finally came to the surface in the mid 90's after decades of insisting there was nothing going on). This included intimidation on open street (a former editor of the communist party newspaper told me how he regularly had intelligence officers walk up to him in public and recite portions of conversations he had had with his wife in their flat the previous day, in order to taunt him and make it clear to him he did not have any privacy; a trade union organiser I met whose commute had him walk past the Soviet embassy told me of how he had a too-obvious-not-to-be-intentional tail to and from work every day for years).

It pushed people away, and it made many of these groups act in ways that were detrimental to their ability to carry out their political works (e.g. keeping tight security around member lists; many member who would not talk about their involvement in public etc.). It had a massively negative effect on getting these small groups to cooperate, because cooperation involved meetings with untrusted people. Etc.

Overall, the mere perception of the existence of pervasive surveillance does massive damage to democracy.
I think... All but that amount raised must be newly issued shares, with proceeds going to the company, not previously restricted shared held by founders and investors, where proceeds go to the shareholder.
Of course. I would argue that our hate level is very different — but I think that this is because of life level difference. Poor and hungry people have much more potential for hate. And that's exactly the reason why I'd want them to stop being poor and hungry (apart from basic human compassion, of course).
> I detest the whole GOPATH idea

Maybe (or maybe not) you'll find this[0] useful: touch .gopath in some project directory, your GOPATH and PATH will be set automatically upon cding inside.

Then, work straight on the root for simplest projects or prototyping, or inside src for multi-package projects. In any case, deps will go in src, and you can readily vendor them, or use git submodule, or a simple shell script containing a sequence of "git clone", or not at all. No tool like godep, no import rewriting, no global workspace, per project dependencies, zero overhead.

Can you add some guidelines for contributors? Is it OK for me to share my own company? If so, what are the base requirements, does the whole team need to be remote? Just curious :)

Heap is hiring engineers, and we have two remote engineers on our team now.
Great! I would love that. However, having read the comments of the rust async working group, they think that async is the best thing since sliced bread ... They have no intention of changing IMO. Sigh. Hopefully one day we will get inclusive features rather than exclusive... Cheers
Or was it because the equipment available at the time was large, bulky and unaffordable?

I find 3D much better when sim-racing in VR, for example. Games are more immersive, and even meetings in VR are less fatiguing than via video conference.
Looks great!

Some criticism: Moving the position of a player icon on the map is non-intuitive.
This is a big disadvantage
Interestingly, here in Israel, there's a standard layout for restaurant websites that is almost always used, and it's pretty good.

I'm not 100% clear on the history, but afaik, a website called Rest.co.il (a restaurant directory), offers restaurants a service for creating a website for them. I'm guessing that initially, most restaurants that didn't have a website just created one through Rest. Nowadays, 80% of restaurant websites I visit are Rest-operated sites, with a very decent standard layout, including quick-info for getting their number, quick info on average prices of meals, maps, and detailed menus.

More and more restaurants are creating "unique" websites nowadays, but I think because the level was so high initially, they're doing a pretty good job of it. Pretty funny considering for other things in Israel, there is much less web-awareness than in the States.

If you want examples (sorry, they're in Hebrew, but you can see they look the same). Bottom-left is the quick-info, including information on accessibility for people with disabilities, whether the food is Kosher, hours that they're open, etc.:

I recommend C because it will improve your understanding of what happens below the hood.

(I'm not against learning a functional language, but that direction has been recommended enough by now)
> Well if you've been successfully exploiting a broken certificate, and it gets busted, and you have another spare one, are you going to use it or leave it? Probably use it.

No: if you reached the target with your trojan and if your trojan is made to quietly disrupt then the last thing you want is to raise the awareness of your target by making a newer version with a newer certificate, which is then immediately recognized by all antivirus vendors, and which induces your target to recheck all their configurations and add the protections.
I work independently so I don't worry about what I look like working (and it is awful, usually messy hair and a pair of boxer shorts, who has time for a comb or pants?), but I definitely agree with the thinking on paper. Spending 15 minutes sketching out ideas with a pen saves me hours of dead-end code writing. That's especially true if I have to write a tricky algorithm of any type. I haven't seen one yet that couldn't be sorted out without a single line of code. I'm not talking about writing pseudocode either, I'm talking about drawing pictures of what an algorithm does (or needs to do). Boxes, squiggly lines and arrows are your friend. Or, to look at it another way, if you can't draw a picture of it, you don't know what you're doing yet. That mindset has made me much more productive (and saner).
I second this. Although it does not have immediate practical payoff as learning something like Javascript or even Java would have. But spend a month of two manipulating memory at the low level and playing around with pointers in C and you'll be a better programmer for it.
Why would an animal sacrificed at an extremely young age in a farm need to receive more or less the same amount of antibiotics (normalized to its weight) in its life than a normal human being that lives many decades?
If I remember rightly this is nothing more than a Wheatstone bridge connected up to a meter. Nothing more than a few bucks in value I guess.
The symptoms that people typically notice and report for COVID-19, dry cough and shortness of breath, did not start until about 3 days later, and, further, I am not sure that the gas pump was how I got it, so your conclusion that I do not have COVID-19 is not a sound argument.

If you have the symptoms, you have evidence of the virus. The sore throat may be a red-herring, but I never get symptoms like this from normal flu or a cold, except the H1N1 flu years ago, so that is definitely not it. I am very familiar with how my body get sick.

Again, as I pointed out, the notion of a "therapeutic dose" is not discrete: it is not the case that a small amount does absolutely nothing and then suddenly when you get to the "therapeutic dose" suddenly it does something. Drugs and the body generally do not work like that. If your body is hurting for a molecule and you give it the amount biomedical researchers have concluded will have an effect, it will likely have an effect, but if you give it a bit less, it still might help. Think of any time you have needed anything: even getting one thing was a lot more than getting zero. If you listen to how doctors talk, they say such things all the time: they basically guess how much to give you and then they move the amount up and down by factors of like 2 depending on the results they get.
So, I'm a dev. I like programming. I definitely believe in pushing back on unrealistic expectations when given a task. Is there a way that I can do something beneficial for my career in this situation without asking my boss to turn me into a manager?
yet another Electron app on my computer! neat!
Yes! I completely agree. The yolks of Clarence Court-alikes just don’t feel as “rich”, whatever that means, and I can readily tell the difference when having yolk-heavy food like egg soldiers, for example.
Another "wikipedia is shite but I'm not going to give any examples and I'm going to ignore the fact I could have edited it to make it better but didn't" post.
Leverging Stupidity ... welcome to my Ted Talk.

Hmmm, do you know what ... time to jump on that bandwagon!
I'm similarly skeptical. Both the demand and supply for eggs are probably quite predictable (save for the occasional bird flu outbreak), so why would the industry create big egg buffers/stockpiles?
V is also written to be as simple as possible :)

Compilation time is very important during development for the quick dev cycle (change, build, test).

You don't need to do -O2 builds dozens of times per day.

-prod (-O2) builds are definitely an order of magnitude slower, that's a fact.
It is not incompetence but obvious malice: the granny of all SJW movements, the early Soviet regime, openly declared that Russians are oppressors and have to make up for centuries of oppression, even as the majority of Russian population were direct descendants of serfs, who were sold and bought at some periods of time; and that most of higher-class Russians were either expelled or outright killed at this point.

Russia did not really recover from that outbreak, and some other countries may still have it ahead.
These notes is indeed used in "CS 101".
The note is meant to fill a need not covered by the main materials.

In this case the concept of transition systems is used throughout
the course for proofs. In a different note graph algorithms are
presented - and the the red thread is that all proods use transitions
systems.

In short: you need to look at the full course to see where a lecture note fits in.
Right, I misremembered what Dynamo does - from the Bolt paper references I see that I was actually thinking of Spike (https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedin...).

Interesting stuff!
Who said that, say, laptop or phone replacement is not an essential item?
The safety rating system in iRacing makes the stakes feel very different to just loading up Mario Kart. You play with your real name, and safe driving is rewarded - to get A rated you have to treat other drivers with respect.
That is great for you. For a lot of people it's becoming a requirement of their jobs, and quitting in a global pandemic over an app seems like a non-optimal response.
I even saw this video on /r/TheMakingOfGames/ last week
It's because the video is an ad for his book, "The Making of Prince of Persia".
What sort of fun projects/experiments do people do with a super low powered k8s cluster locally?

I'm kind of in this weird position where I understand the benefits and use of k8s, but I:

a) Can't think of any cutesy distributed systems/microservices type thing that I could or would want to run on a low power machine locally (lack of processing power or ISP getting pissed off @ massive amount of traffic if you're e.g. scraping a ton of data and doing stream processing on it in your little cluster)

b) Don't really understand the point in investing time in it, as it feels like one of those things you learn on the job as it comes up. And for a lot of people (the majority, probably?) it'll probably never even come up unless they just are hunting for new tech to introduce at work regardless of if the business actually needs it. Which IMO, most businesses don't even have a compelling reason to switch from the old 3 tier monolith architecture.
Yeah, that's what I miss about Beam's actors vs. actor implementations in the JVM - the design pattern was to write actors that blocked, which dramatically simplifies your code - on Akka actors, for example, you very much should not block the actor, because it blocks the JVM thread that is being used to run the pseudo-green threads, which makes it harder to write straightforward code.
To say that 4chan is a way to do good...

He didn't say 4chan was a way to do good. He said 4chan can do good or it can do evil, but the real point is to get lulz (regardless of good or evil).
It's America. People arm themselves. It was far less violent and less of a show of power than taking over a police station and city blocks from the other group.
There's progress indeed, but 4x 16TB isn't cutting it. You'd need extra disks for redundancy, extra space for filesystem overhead (including data and metadata checksums), and a sizable amount of ECC memory.
Ironically my layout complaint is the polar opposite of yours, which is that I have smaller monitors and the minimum window size is really large, and for what? I would like to pop out a couple channels and have them always on-screen but they take up too much room.

The current minimum width is 2x my smartphone which is kinda weird considering the app runs fine on the phone itself.
That's a fairly revisionist view of history. Large partners had earlier had special pricing (ex: Netflix) lax enforcement of rules (ex: Facebook). Blowups where Apple presumed the right to levy a fee are also well known (Amazon book sales, Uber fares).

The smaller fish got consistently screwed and no one was happy per se, but the sheer stupidity of Apple's recent actions do not help matters. For example, the app store cut is 30% unless you beg for scraps as a small business at which point you can get 15% until you start making $1 million. Income cliffs aren't how real taxes work (let's be clear here: Apple is pretending to be the government with taxes and fees and shadow court system of app review), they're just how Reagan demonized them back in the day.
"educated", not sure, but "science-oriented" was far more likely in the 50's and 60's. Part of the problem is that there's been no external threat to the US (or the West) for decades and the Lord of the Flies bit is taking over. Nothing to unite the disparate elements of society other than their hatred of each other.
Not to defend the abhorrent practice of taxation via police action--

A lot of municipalities are also being screwed pretty hard by state-level policies. Many states cap how much a municipality can raise through "legitimate" taxation (eg, property, sales and income taxes) while imposing mandates on what services the municipalities must provide. Meanwhile, municipalities have an even worse time taking on debt than the state government. So it's not too uncommon for a municipality to end up in the position of being unable to meet its obligations, having nothing left to cut, and no authority to raise taxes.
Ah! But this chip only has a sub-uA sleep mode. So it will have the said decades battery life if it sleeps most of the time, which might be true in the cases of some kind of IoT application, but not if it's actually running often.
He's old enough to do that, from his bio:

I think you've certainly got under the skin of the effect with these thoughts. As you say, the hardest thing might be the initial requirement to convince practitioners of whatever system you're designing to not focus on the reward to the extent that it dissuades them from opting in in the first place.

Thanks for the comments. Ps the content on coglode.com certainly has application to areas like marketing, but it's more broad than that, with a focus on product and behaviour system design. Knowing how we think is critical to help promote any kind of behaviour: charitable donation, greater health and wellness, stronger loyalty and customer satisfaction, achieving life goals and so forth.

Would be great to hear if ou guys have any ideas on what we could improve.

Cheers,

brew install lnav

Worked for me, Android 4.3 + Galaxy S3. Thanks!
I've used it on an Intel Celeron machine and it was absolutely wonderful, apart from the fact that the machine had the Intel 24p bug.

I've recently switched to a Zotac PI320 which is very nice as well, but sadly due to some UEFI nonsense it can't boot OpenElec :( This is a shame as it's easily the simplest way to get a Kodi installation up and running (and automatically updated!).
Yes, and Marco Polo is a captivating series.
It's a 20 inch to 14.5 inch change, and while it might have made sense for Iraq, I gather that long range engagements in much less urban Afghanistan are so common this is a big problem. And even in urban combat it's obviously inconvenient to not have an effective long arm for longer ranges. Losing 275 yards is not trivial.

As I see it, it's favoring an optimization for urban combat over raw effectiveness in field combat. And it's not "the military", it's the Army. The Marines, who have seen plenty of action in Afghanistan, still use 20 inch M16s.

And all of this is brought to you by the friendly folks of PHP. Next time when you bash PHP because the argument order for functions is inconsistent, think about how some people overlook semantics and build great things with the tools they have at their disposal.
Will someone please explain this valuation? A company with very thin margins, no defendable IP, and very little barrier to entry for competitors. Yes I've noticed they seem to be executing well and starting international expansion but I can't see how investors get past the first three points.
You know, I think only 10% of the article goes into why Sanders image and KFC food became so popular in Japan, and I still don't feel satisfied with the outcome. I don't feel like I now know why he is so popular.
Doubt it. Eventually, even in the US, they will adopt the New York model - require TLC licensed drivers, cars, etc. but not medallions. Basically black/limo cars. That's the way it should be IMO, I don't think Uber should have full discretion in deciding who gets to pick up passengers. The ratings system is really a small part of Uber and can't be relied upon to filter out bad/dangerous drivers.
yeah if anything I'm saying doesn't make any sense to you or it's wrong then it makes sense to downvote it, right? but when people provide evidence to prove otherwise, not sure why the down votes happen. One thing I do see about this site is that it is quite ironic that the majority of downvoted comments actually are the most insightful, and maybe that's because people just cannot handle the truth. you be the judge. Down vote me some more, it seems to make everyone feel better when they do that.
I like zero bug policies in my code. If it's a browser bug, it's a bug not in my code.

My experience is that you pay a premium early on, but it pays dividends down the line. At some point, little bugs interact.

A big correlary of "zero bug" is "clean, simple architecture." If fixing bugs increases complexity, that's usually a symptom of something deeper....
I personally don't agree with the author, but I upvoted anyway, purely because I want to see what comes out of the ensuing conversation.
I also think this distribution would be fascinating.
> I felt like I had to show I was caring and keeping track of it.

I don't think this is necessary. A lot of people tweet about purely "professional" subjects and never tweet about social issues. If you stick to that, your followers will know what (and what not) to expect.
I think this is less about Bitcoin being screwed, and more a criticism of the neo-libertarian escapist approach to economics.

That we all depend on the systems that govern our world, from the clean(er) laws physics of it all the way up to the wet, nasty dynamics that emerge from collective human behaviour, and no clever use of technology will ever make that not true.

Technology can (and often does) make those systems better, though. And focusing on that instead of building a worldview around the escapist fantasy seems prudent
Exactly. Especially since there is more than one government.

Now, if they wanted to make the argument that after 3-5 more halvings the competitiveness of mining will drop to a level where any G7 nation could run a 51% attack and barely notice, I’d be captivated :)
but if you're caught later on, then fasten your seatbelts
Yes, over a VPN. Works fine.
Huh, thank you. Obviously the people on the ground don't, but there's no truth to the idea of what stories are greenlit by editors?

Could be as simple as occasionally removing mentions of companies that advertise with the paper in peices about customer data creating the effect, not J. J. Jamison telling people to get him pictures of zuckerberg :D
I would think that if you wanted to create a bio weapon then this virus is perfect. Not super lethal but crates a high level of chaos and economic damage. An economical warfare big
I used to feel bad when I had a plastic container of a type that my town didn't recycle. Then China stopped accepting a lot of our "recyclables", a move that put a lot more scrutiny on the industry and what really happens. Apparently paper is only a little better, especially since 2018. Glass & aluminum though are supposedly well utilized, though notable in that their raw materials already require-- and can sustain-- being molten down to liquids in a process that gets rid of the dirty bits we leave on them.
