Interesting, although today videos of people on drugs are widely available.

There is nothing transcendental or mind opening in the "special effects" she is experiencing, caused by short circuiting in her mental device.

Even people who get high by inhaling fumes of toxic chemicals (varnishes, paints, solvents, ether, gasoline, etc) report similar or even more "amazing" things.
I worked in a cubicle (with a window) for a few years.
When given the choice of an office, I stuck to my desk and pulled down the wall between myself and the other developer so we can chat easier.

I now have a standing/sitting desk that I switch between, depending on the work I'm doing.
Standing also makes it easier to spot others coming over to ask questions.

This may be due to the environment.
Fewer people in the office (<10) and a manager that doesn't care when he sees me on Hacker News.
Based on her response (at 53:40), I feel like she misunderstood the question. The first response "The nice thing about standards is there's so many to choose from" is probably because even if she proposes a curve with a flaw, people could just choose to use Curve25519 or whatever.

I feel like they've already addressed the question with their "bada55 curves" page: http://safecurves.cr.yp.to/bada55.html
Take a look at David Halberstam's book The Best and the Brightest. The people who made bad policy decisions with respect to Vietnam were among the finest products of the American educational system of that era.
Maybe it's time to end the charade of pretending that the meatspace tradition of ambient authority works for electronic communications, and come around to accepting that the best form of law on a hostile anonymous network is executable code.

The range charts also show HVAC OFF which is highly unrealistic for most of the USA, most of the year.
Anyone know if there is a common source for the recurring predictions for reduced work week?

They keep coming back to increased productivity from technology, as if that alone will roll back work hours. Because if you get 8 hours work done in 4, why, you can just go home. Heck, if their workforce becomes 100x more productive, employers will just reduce hours 100x, keep salaries the same, keep production the same. Yep.

I don't know of any employer that doesn't want to simply pocket any productivity gain as profit, or us it as a competitive advantage.
>I sincerely hope no one looks at the screenshot on that page and thinks "this is something that works well". This UI screams "I've been made that way because that was the easiest way in the tool I'm built with"

That's where you'd be wrong. Profilers traditionally have looked like this regardless of the tool/GUI lib/GUI paradigm they'd been made with.

It's the domain need (to show lots of information, graphs, timelines, stack trees, etc, to compare) that asks for this...
It took me a long time to understand this. Not to say I whole-heartedly endorse it, but the sentiment is reasonable. Unfortunately, the language used elicits such visceral emotion, folks have a hard time divorcing their interpretations for a moment to hear someone out.
> Then where is the right place for that? (rehash in political theater)

Within the SEC or at a performing arts center, depending on what level of scrutiny, the discussion of the topic is to be given. A congressional hearing is the equivalent of a discussion between a beat cop and hostile witness at a coffee shop.
I guess you do nothing but this doesn't seem like that much of a change if you were poor or disadvantaged to begin with. Worrying about the lack of access to things like Zoom seem to be very "first world problems". We should worry about the lack of access to vaccines, adequate housing, capital, social services etc.
> why did Alexander choose to make a point about UBI by associating himself with Charles Murray

You didn't read the article, yet you want to infer the reason why Alexander did something?

If you actually read the article, he chose Murray because his opinon it fit a particular quadrant in a box chart, namely the "Pessmistic Cooperative" view on poverty. He also "associated" himself in that same diagram with Bernie Sanders, Lenin and School Lunches.

I hope you take this as a learning experience. Please read the article before jumping to conclusions.
The issue is that the volatility had been unprecedentedly high for a week, but they jumped up the collateral requirements overnight. It would be one thing if they'd stepped it up in time with volatility, but by the timing, it looks less like a protective and more like a punitive step.
Those same relationships are apparent when reading a traditional score. Once you reach a certain level of proficiency reading music it's easy to spot the intervals which make up a chord as written. I don't think the same amount of proficiency isn't needed to interpret a piano roll, it's just proficiency in seeing the same relationships notated differently.

All that to say I think they're both conveying similar pitch information and take a similar amount of effort to ready correctly. Piano roll doesn't convey rhythmic information and that's where I think piano roll falls short as a method of straight notation.
The articles mixes the terms "Warsaw Ghetto uprising" and "Warsaw Uprising". They were two separate uprisings [1]. The fact that the author does not know that makes any of his claims on the subject questionable. I mean it's absolutely basic knowledge for anyone interested in the subject.

[1] The Jewish one being an order of magnitude smaller - it lead to death of around 13k Jews and a demolition of one district of Warsaw (the Ghetto), while the Polish one lead to death of 150k-200k Poles and demolition of majority of Warsaw.
Try to get %20 from the stock market. If your tech role typically earns ~$100k/year, that conversation is a $20,000 phone call.

The difference between their first offer and 15 minutes on the phone with the right attitude and tools is what a lot of people make in a year. On an hourly 1-year contract rate haggle, upping $10/hr is $20,000 in the contract value. I'd call that a valuable phone call and probably the best return on $15.95 anyone ever spent, especially because it was probably just for some cheesy ebook on negotiation.

Is that hype?

I may have to write that cheesy ebook. :)
I’m not familiar with Vector clocks. If it’s the same concept it’s purely by chance.
audited as in "version controlled". In Excel, if you insert a column somewhere, all the cells move, and all the formulae change, so it's really hard to spot the differences between two versions of the same sheet.

In excel, a lot of operations are "atomic", they work on numbers. If you get data in a table, and then want to operate on that data, you have to copy over the formula for each row in the table. Now, what happens is that sometimes, someone will need to change one of the n formulae, for some specific reason, and then forget that they left the change there. So suddenly, the data that's output by the sheet is garbage, cause someone screwed up. And since the sheet can't be diffed between versions, nobody can easily notice what had happened.

Not webable means that people now like to have things available online. I guess this is not true for Office 365, but a lot of people I am talking about rely on technologies that are not compatible with office 365 (COM stuff for instance)
There are other cryptocurrencies than BTC, like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Dash, which work well for any transaction, big or small, with low fees and fast confirmations.
Gee, I hadn't heard that. The sound designer said:

"We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn ["the Writer"] too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when [Tarkovsky's wife] Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris."

@cosmic_background is ridiculously talented
Most papers are available on author websites or arxiv. I'd check out the titles of papers in recent software engineering conferences (ICSE is a great starter) and read what you are interested in. For CS more broadly you'll need to start with a field and then find conferences since conferences are broken up by topic.
In the microcontroller family you can put a lot of different devices.
The board they target with this project is based on a NXP Cortex-M3 chip with 512KB of Flash and 64KB of RAM: http://mbed.org//nxp/lpc1768/technical-reference/

The other target, STM32, is a similar Cortex-M3 microcontroller.

Want to use something different than C with a smaller footprint? you can always play with forth ^__^
for example an MSP430 (TI 16bit) port of CamelForth, should be usable with any MSP430 device having at least 512 bytes of RAM, 8K of ROM, and one USART.

It's fun and it doesn't hurt too much ;-)

And qtip2 is coming soon :-)
I think they had it when they were still called orange to, been a lot time, probably 6 years. It wasn't a great frame rate or anything but usable, I don't think many people will use it more now just because the quality has improved a lot. For most use cases its probably easier just to take a video, unless your directly talking to someone and then the quality isn't to big a deal.
Gandi.net are another French host I recommend.

For small servers they are pretty comparable price wise (more RAM, less CPU) but I prefer their interface :)
There are limits, of course, depending on the competition. But most software that has proved popular is probably justified in some type of price increase, especially if more features are added.

I'm about to increase the price by 30%. Hopefully it won't make much difference to the purchasers, but an extra 30% revenue will make make a big difference.
To be fair, the difference is that it's now displaying images by default, and this will simply have caught a lot more people's attention
I've had dedicated servers, shared hosts and individual domains with them for a few years. I had a hardware failure on a server once, the HD died, they replaced it in a few hours, it was handled pretty efficiently. The price is really low. The connectivity in Europe is good (although my customers are mostly based in France, so I don't have real benchmarks from elsewhere).

Two caveats:

- They have no taste and are really bad a interface design. Their administration tools are notoriously confusing, even after years of using them I'm still blown away at how they manage to make something simple so complicated. The boss (Octave) will post product announcements in the forums, and not in the official newsletter, encouraging a cult following of enthusiats/amateurs (that can be seen as both good or bad I guess…). Don't expect good documentation either.

- support is sub-par. I only contacted them a couple of times, and my carefully worded questions were met by a standardized reply, as if they had only read half of my email.

tl;dr : if you're a good sysadmin and don't need any hand-holding, they are good.
..and they're the ones you want to be selling to. The easiest sales are to the people who aren't spending their own money.
They didn’t create it, this was made by the team at repl.it. In case a mod sees this, it would be great to be able to provide a reason for flagging a submission

Edit: assumptions bad
If you really want something simpler than using a SSG, you can always use pandoc to convert markdown files to HTML. With a one-line command, you can take any arbitrary .md file and spit out .html.

I have no doubt many managers will screw up the hybrid environment by making it something like in-person on non-consecutive days.

My ideal would be 3 consecutive days in the office and 4 days away. Remote work days plus a "weekend" that may or may not include Sat and Sun.
Thank you, this is cool, but it's not what I had in mind.
A more realistic proposal is making your neighborhood slightly denser and more pedestrian/bike/transit friendly. Most of the neighborhood can remain single family homes, but a central area should be slightly denser (3ish story buildings with retail on the bottom floor and residential apartments above). Your major transportation needs can now avoid cars in the following ways:

1. This central area should have a connection to a frequent public transit option which can get you to your job. BRT would be the easiest to roll out, but the ideal for most people would probably be some sort of medium/commuter rail with decent WiFi onboard and enough seating/frequent enough trains so that the average commuter can sit and work if they'd like. Obviously this won't take everyone out of their car, but the majority of commuters in your neighborhood could use this instead since it would be faster and more convenient. Ideally there would be trains/buses running at least every 10 minutes.

2. Because there is a retail area close to your residence you can realistically walk/bike to get groceries and do routine errands. Bike paths in your residential neighborhood make this easier because they feel (and are) much safer for everyday people to use instead of sharing streets with cars. Ideally the paths are safe enough for you to feel comfortable with your elderly relatives or children biking on them.

This is obviously very different from how North American suburbs are set up today and would require a large amount of investment and changes in the way that we do public policy and planning. However, it is certainly possible to have suburbs that are bike/pedestrian friendly if you put the infrastructure in place to do so.
Oh and I should mention, email hosted with Fastmail. Been super happy with it.

Thanks to the second-hand market, I can get an (older) Cheetah at an affordable price (as per my other reply below). If I had about 2000PLN to spend on storage, I'd probably toy with DIY SRAM based SSD, rather than ready-made Flash-based one.
I can only hope that Mods / Plugins aren't going to continue to be a euphemism for "scripts that modify the forum core libraries". (I gave up on the last two major versions because of conflicting hack-scripts and botched upgrades.)
amen. I love watching poker. But I don't even play, so this doesn't really affect me, other than being one more attack on our freedoms.

They're going to keep expanding their power, because that's what the power hungry do. Unless we resist.

Your counter-petition is you exercising your freedom of choice.

Now please let others exercise theirs.
The authors I mentioned are thoroughly enjoyable, they're not Kant or Hegel...

Also, in order to know whether you like something or not you have to experience it. You may not like reading (as opposed to watching movies for example), but if you do enjoy reading you cannot not like Plutarch for example?
Then again, my experience of living both in the US and Germany is that driving plays by far a greater role in the US. Most places are 20-45 min away. In Germany, things like grocery stores, theaters, schools or restaurants tend to be closer to residential areas.
C.S. Lewis had an interesting argument for why one should read old books:

"Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes. We all, therefore, need the books that will correct the characteristic mistakes of our own period. And that means the old books.

[snip] Not, of course, that there is any magic about the past. People were no cleverer then than they are now; they made as many mistakes as we. But not the same mistakes. They will not flatter us in the errors we are already committing; and their own errors, being now open and palpable, will not endanger us.

[snip] To be sure, the books of the future would be just as good a corrective as the books of the past, but unfortunately we cannot get at them."
1:n mobile live video is probably simply not a mass market thing. Around 2008 there was whole set of those mobile broadcasting services already: flixwagon[1], qik[2], kyte[3], ustream[4], bambuser just to name some. Also a shout out to the original vine which was 2 times as long 12seconds.tv.

Those headlines linking to mostly dead sites and blogs sound quite familiar:

basically all purposes will be implemented in a general purpose language over time.

if you are hiring and training people to work on elixir/erlang systems you can have them work on this as well.

performance? that's a guess of course.
This is Linux for M1 Macs.
If you're compressing Turkish, you can use syllables. Turkish has a nice feature of deterministic syllable division, which can be done via a neat state machine.

I've implemented it once, however I failed to encode it very efficiently on the disk. Nevertheless, it's promising. Here's what I've done:

They picked the wrong country to build in. Germany is notoriously slow with bureaucracy.
Did you try becoming an excel or sheets power user first (using macros/vba/apps script)? What specific thing/things/usecase do they suck at which you are doing well?
I think you miss the point of API's regardless of your programming language. If it's used inside a CLI then definitely I can write a GUI program that does the same.
I started computing in the 80's, if you don't need a GUI I have a couple of old hardware to sell, the real experience, what about that? /s

We know pretty well how computers without GUIs look like for the general population since the 1950's, that is why we moved away from them.

CLI or REPLs are great for special cases, that is all.
The whole team relied on me so it was a hard decision. I gave them a month notice and slowly transitioned myself out of the meetings, code reviews and architectural decisions. I felt bad but it was the right decision for me and my career.
This is an awesome interpretation!

The idea for this dates back some years however, the first one I remember is a scanner playing Für Elise [0], and of course there is the Imperial March performed by three floppy drives [1].

There is also another performance (Bach's Toccata & Fugue) using eight floppies [2].

A good paper and a fairly easy read. Reynolds is diplomatic: While he mentions in the abstract that "In the early history of continuations, basic concepts were independently discovered an extraordinary number of times. This was due less to poor communication among computer scientists than to the rich variety of set- tings in which continuations were found useful" the truth appears to be more textured. In the body of the article he cites a number of occasions in which seemingly relevant papers were declined from journals for what seem to be petty reasons.

You provide free food because you get more working time out of your employees. Any other benefit your pushing is quite honestly, bullshit. They're sitting together? Great; odds are they're talking about their job and that's only beneficial to the employer.

The other problem with free food is that it starts to feel like an obligation to consume it. I like eating out about once a week otherwise I brown-bag it most of the week with yogurt, fruit and some peanut butter crackers. If you make free food a perk (1) I don't feel like i'm maximizing my benefits (2) people start to think i'm not a team player because I don't want to eat pizza/burritos/chinese/indian/<Insert Food Here> five days a week.
I almost entirely use my network to get jobs - if you possibly can, build a personal network, because that network will start referring you to people as an expert. This will allow you to rapidly increase the price of your services. I know this is difficult to get started - but whatever you do to get your first few jobs, make those people into contacts and over deliver.

As a side note: anyone doing freelancing that is struggling with the tax part of it, would love to get your feedback on http://painless1099.com - a smart bank account for your 1099 income that does automatic withholding and helps make your tax situation more like that of a W2's. Product is deep in development by some awesome folks (I'm advising) and they still need more sophisticated eyes on it to get the alpha right.
as a business owner/operator involved in everything from sales to hiring to vendor purchasing, here's the most important thing:

if you can't walk away from a negotiation, it's not really a negotiation. if you feel, at any point, compelled to stay even though your interests are not being met in a reasonable matter, you're going to get screwed - and it's your fault, not the other person's.

in a true negotiation both parties are attempting to find an optimum solution that solves for 2 sets of 'peer to peer' requirements. it's supposed to be a cooperative endeavor. if at any point it turns contentious, you back out immediately. the opportunity was never there. it was just an illusion. this is the hard thing for people to grasp.

unfortunately, for most people these are things you learn by doing. "not all that glitters is gold".
I love the analogy. I'll use it with my freshman students.
The meatiest bit of this article, which is great:

Attackers control connectivity. Connectivity is expensive. Connectivity is also unreliable: captive portals, proxies, and firewalls break it. These factors make OCSP certificate revocation unworkable. For similar reasons, they make DANE's ostensible safeguard against malicious CAs unworkable. In practice, DANE would probably only be usable as an additional CA; it would not be able to effectively overrule any of the 1482 existing CAs.
