It's done a lot, it's used for mocking in FP.

For example, I hace a monad that saves to a database using effects. I change the effect to update an array instead and I have code that I can use in a unit test.
What I find a bit problematic is this emphasis we see on "classical civilization" as somehow more exceptional or 'amazing' than anything else from ancient history, when it's simply the ancient culture that we happen to know the most about. There were plenty of other cultures back then that could be just as "classical" to us, if only they were better studied.
TL;DR: psychiatrist and apothecary need to evaluate that in my country. If it wasn't worth it, I'd have quit long ago. The alcohol side effect, for example, is annoying. However being tired for weeks, and muscle pain having more severe impact, that was and is highly annoying.

To answer your question though. According to myself: Yes. According to the people around me: Yes. The people around me are more positive about it than I am, but they generally don't suffer from the side effects. Basically, I have less sharp edges. I am, basically, less sensitive. The moment I'm most sensitive is during public transport. E.g. commute. I go back from work, I sit alone, and at end of people hopping on two people sit on the other side of me and start eating Burger King. Which smells. Well, yeah, I still can't act that away (or fake it till I make it). They notice I am annoyed by it. I give them looks.

Also, keep in mind, that there are other options available, but these also have side effects. From what I gathered, the other common treatment option contained an anti-psychotic with severe side effects.
Does that matter when most of Netflix's catalog is crap?

The problem with Disney+ is that Disney is taking advantage of the monopoly privileges granted by copyright law to vertically integrate their offerings. If you want to steam Disney media, you do it through Disney+. If Bob Iger thought it was possible to turn a profit by doing so, there would already be a chain of Disney theaters that show nothing but Disney shit, and visitors would have to fight their way through the built-in Disney Store to get to their seats.

Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom. It will only get worse unless we start pushing our elected officials to start enforcing existing anti-monopoly laws.
Don't all mail service providers that allow a custom domain allow for creating a catch all email?
>Any UI program that you write will work just fine on KDE, GNOME, DWM, etc

But which versions of which libraries do you target? Every distribution has its own menagerie. There is no well-defined "Linux platform" like there is with Windows (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/).
There's only one political party in the US right now that routinely uses labels such as "racists", "Nazis" and "white supremacists" against their opponents to dehumanize them and justify physical violence. Haven't seen anything like it from the other side.
It doesn't really matter. Disney wants their piece of that pie, and they have the marketing to get customers. People will buy it, and Disney owns Marvel, Star Wars, ABC, NBC and all their own movies/content.

We went from cable, to paying less for only one or two streaming services, but now people are buying more services (Amazon, Disney+, HBO, Hulu, AppleTV, appleTV, AppleTV and AppleTV) .. it's almost like the a la carte channel pricing people wanted in the 90s, ... but way after people were playing less for just Netflix.

Disney+ isn't going away or going to fail any time soon. It will be interesting if one day we see Olympics only on streaming and not on broadcast at all.
It's used on most consumer devices simply to slow down clone devices being created.
I wonder if I'm the only one who's getting a TF2 vibe from this trailer. The game's art style doesn't seem like it's going for realism, possibly a decision to make it playable on more hardware?
I stay as a dev, and I'll probably die as one. Love every minute I spent to learn and improve my coding skills.

> This happened only in the entry level courses that everyone at the university was required to take.

Why does this change the conclusion?

One could argue that students new to a topic need more one-on-one instruction.
Government funding per student has been decreasing and the amenities have been increasing.
I run FreeBSD CURRENT on my MacBook Pro with a light tiling window manager. It is not as featured as Linux but it does run decently. Wireless configuration is done through editing wpa_supplicant.conf and restarting netif, suspend/resume don't work correctly, I haven't yet configured my audio to switch output from either the headphones or the speakers without having to edit /boot/device.hints and restarting, and a handful other things, for example. On the other hand, 9.0-CURRENT has included many new drivers for things like the Apple touchpad (atp(4)). Support for desktop use is slow, but it isn't ignored.

I would highly recommend you scrutinize your hardware compatibility before committing to an install on a desktop or laptop system.

Hamming's essay looks to be sixteen years old.

Maybe things have changed in sixteen years - especially, perhaps the world outside has gone from occasionally-intrusive to constantly-intrusive.
You're dodging the question. You can achieve statistical significance by using a large sample size, iff there is a real effect.

If we had 10e20 people in each group and gave an extra 0.5 liters of alcohol to each one, would you be shocked that a millionth of them died?
Even so, the data should not be stored in a plain text file. Doing so gives any iPhone application access to that location data. Apple claims that it manages location preferences by application, but that's not true as long as this file exists in a plain text format.
The Movie Hack Day 2011 will be held in Berlin on june 4th/5th. It's the weekend between EuRuKo2011 and the berlinbuzzwords conference.
> Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.

Wow!
Also interesting: they do $200,000 in payments a day, which is $73m/yr, from which they generate no revenue. If the merchant fee is 2.9% and wufoo gets a .5% referral fee, that's another $3m/year in revenue, which is still in our $3m-$7m range.
> Are you seeing data that was more than 100 miles away from the places you were at?

Yes, actually. I used the app that was posted and, even after I modified the code to stop fuzzy-ing the data, I was thinking to myself "well, I've never been anywhere close to there".
Picking an arbitrary starting point like 'country' still has problems. I'm in Jersey Channel Islands, which isn't a country at all (much like Vatican City & other territories).

We are British but not part of the UK nor members of the EU. We're served by the British Royal Mail system and use UK-style postcodes, but sometimes when I input my address I must chose a country, so pick UK, which triggers UK VAT on my order. We're exempt from UK VAT so dealing with this is frustrating. Some retailers do waive it when I raise the point but I have to remember every time.

Total edge case I know, but I hope it demonstrates that even picking a really broad starting point like 'country' can still fail sometimes.
Also, previous discussion:

But consumers are not consuming whatever is available to them. You don't create a product without knowing that somebody would want to buy it. Consumers do make choices. Perhaps some kind of labeling for how environmentally friendly a product and its packaging are? Kind of like calorie content labeling. Eg some estimate of X amount of carbon to produce, package, transport the goods based on country of origin, transport method, raw materials and packaging.

If you try to force producers to take all the burden and blame (like many people are) then you'll just get lied to. People are generally unwilling to accept responsibility for these kinds of things without there being overwhelming evidence.
Good takeaway:

"Opportunities have a way of appearing when you build lots of stuff"
I wouldn't go so far as saying I was creating a straw-man argument. My point is just that relying on other people to take care of security for you ends up with an "eh" attitude in the long-run, and self-education is more important.

Yes, Github can/should help, but developers should not think they're owed it just because they constantly check in sensitive info to a website, that's all.
You know that "responsible whistleblowing" has failed multiple times in the past right? Anybody who is upset with Snowden for not repeating the same pattern that failed to change anything, except the destruction of the whistleblower's life, is either unfamiliar with history or just completely illogical.
20+ years ago I hitchhiked to Cappadocia in January with a light covering of snow on the ground. I went to an underground city. It was hard to find as the guard at the gate had left for lunch - no one was visiting at that time of year. At 6'3" it was claustrophobic and intense. Many tunnels have old wheels that they could roll across when intruders threatened. Above there are pots that apparently held boiling oil that was then poured. Seeing no one else down there I lived in fear of one of those wheels suddenly rolling across behind me as absurd as that sounds. It was a combination of factors but that day stuck in my mind forever. Hitchhiking out I got a lift in an oil truck with 2 guys with no teeth and loud music that wailed as we drove on a sunny cold day chain smoking in a cabin with rolled up windows all while laughing at our complete inability to understand each other.
Teslas recognize speed limit signs. Driving on Autosteer my Model S respects speed limits unless it recognizes that it is on a dual carriageway (divided highway for US readers) in which case it allows you to speed if you want to but warns you that you are over the limit.

Mercedes have had this feature as an option for many years.

One mans suggestion. Get back to using your skills (for pay or volunteer) with real people. The first world has lots ills.
Work in medical, legal, educational, environmental, or social service organizations as close as you can to where you can see real life difficulties.
Inspiration may not be a fast discovery. It may require more that one environment before you find it. You have to move on if after a year or so if nothing come up.
Ha! I'm currently down the rabbithole of trying to understand why when connected through nordvpn, i'm seeing ~5% faster download and ~10% lower ping latency to speedtest.net when connected to an in-country vpn endpoint.

Does not compute. Compression? I can't explain the lower ping, traffic shaping?

Edit: It totally is. Check the author of the article: definitely an alt account.
Brexiteers have nothing but disdain for the City and finance. They're a know-nothing movement unswayed by economic research and proudly ignorant concerning, among a myriad of hard truths, the realities of operating in the modern global economy.

They think with a simple wave of their plastic sovereignty wand, Britain will be magically restored to some fictional past where a dominant UK thrived in an economic self-sufficiency bubble. No banking sector or stock brokers required.

Good bloody luck with that, mates.
American English is frankly archaic! The English accents of the modern US are far closer to the English accent of the 1700s than modern en_GB.

I am a British army brat and we used to watch a fair bit of Dutch TV when stationed in West Germany back in the '70s/'80s for that reason - subtitled. Mmmm ... Vara!

The accent thing is very complicated. The US has had a lot of inputs over the last few centuries and don't forget the locals who were already there. I suggest that the Dutch accent informed the American one accents rather than the other way around. Belgium of course also contributes there. English spoken by a Belgian also sounds more left pondian than right. That said, I have met folk from both the Netherlands and Belgium who can deploy pretty convincing generic en_GB or en_US sounding accents as required. My dad's driver at our last posting in Bracht in Germany near to Roermond in the Netherlands was able to speak German, Dutch and English well enough to fool native speakers of all of them. We are still in touch nearly 40 years later 8)
It seems ridiculous and frankly patronising to claim that the last 30 years of Polish history are an abortive attempt to become Denmark, rather than a sincere and partially successful attempt to become something which is neither Denmark nor socialist Poland.
Thanks for this long list. But again, that's missing the point. Everybody has their list of what they do and why. And everybody is pretty convinced that this is how it ought to be and they have good reasons. I'm not saying yours are wrong. But for most of your points, I know people who'd argue the exact opposite. And they give good reasons too.

Point is that we don't have a shared, common, well-defined core in our industry. A list that everybody adheres to. Our lists are not in sync.

The variety of programming languages that people can choose from now does not help either. Standard practice in one language is a cardinal sin in another. Different patterns, different principles, different paradigms. People mix and match freely.
> It's your right by law to reduce your hours for the same pay/hour.

Is this actually a thing? There are laws regarding this? How do these laws work if there's a job requirement itself which needs certain number of hours?
What would you recommend?

I identified myself way too much in OP's post. I'm in my mid-20s, have a job as a consultant DevOps engineer in a boring fintech company, in a project that I think will fail. I'm full-remote atm, and I'm already doing the least amount of work that I can do without it being noticed.

I'm really good at programming (based on feedback of my co-workers), and I like doing side-projects (usually video-game related). I can't stop thinking everyday that I'm wasting my skills on, as OP stated, useless software. I'm not sure that I'm not being a diva, though.

I'm currently taking the steps to go to a 4/5th schedule, but I'm not sure it will make it any better. I'll have more time to do what my want (side-projects + hobbies), but I'm not sure it will solve what I feel deep down.
And was only supposed to target “the rich”. I think we can all agree that is not how it worked out.
I think it's basically the thought that a great culture is one that is strongly held. The wheels are liable to come off quite quickly if that's the only criteria. I'm confused because it's quite simplistic and reductive.

The obvious alternative is a bottom up organization of culture although most companies are not setup for that to work well. The actual reality is going to be a combination of both. I'm sure everyone's worked in environments where the corporate values are treated as a joke.
Uh, if you are a java developer, then your option is to use Java. I'm not sure why you'd chose to use something you're not strong in, unless your goal is to learn something new and get better at it.
I think "Demand media in a box" is brilliant. It is exactly what I would want in SEO tools. I have a problem domain where I need SEO traffic. You obviously know how to find good free lance writers and you can teach them all the SEO basic and anything else they need to know. So it's like consulting but scalable or it's like running a free lance writing website but target at making great SEO content and picking topics in the problem domain space to write about. The reason you don't just do this and apply it to any problem domain is because of scale at the end of day in SEO you need to sell a product and I don't think you can produce 1000s of products
To be good at sales, you need to be rich and connected.
i agree, i think that's a huge disadvantage for FB, but doesn't mean that they should give up on breaking into the market. as mark mentioned at startup school, his approach is to adapt to the cultural norms and policies of foreign countries. perhaps they could start hiring from within the country and start garnering the favor of the gov? maybe release a closely monitored version of fb? overall, fb is good at hacking around problems and this is just another problem i think they can solve if they put the time and resources into it.
At most places I know, you pay for full price of the cup even if you opt not to fill it up. It's their way of pre-empting clever scams like this.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to create such a simple image hosting service.
it's good feedback, find more people to join your cause, keep up the good work!
Indeed - frankly when I saw it I was surprised the guy had accepted this as valid in their contest - if he's allowed to use an offboard compiler the 'interpreter' could just as well emit some generated C to a file and pass it through GCC -O3.
I was going to reply to your post point-by-point, but in the beginning I agreed, then it made me think, and then it made me laugh, so thanks :)
Note that while the other offices don’t pay the same, my understanding is that Zurich pays similarly to SF / NYC / Seattle.
I don't trust you. You're just used to thinking in terms of the piano keyboard. As I said before, the distance between two adjacent white keys on a piano roll could be a major second, or it could be a minor second. In other words the same distance encodes different intervals. You don't know which it is until you also examine the position of the black keys. A keyboard where the twelve semitones were actually equally spaced would not have groupings of two vs. three black keys. Looking at the adjacency of the keys trivial to do, but so is reading an accidental, which gives you additional information about the functional role of the pitch it alters.
This processor seems to be a barrel processor architecture from my quick look so not entirely new.

You're referring to a disputed allegation of inappropriately touching a woman. Other acts were not disputed:

> I said and did things that made some women feel awkward, unwelcome, insecure, and/or discouraged. In social settings, under the guise of joking, being collegial, flirting, or having a good time, I undoubtedly caused some women to question themselves, retreat, feel alone, and worry they can’t be their authentic selves. By stupidly perpetuating a culture rife with busting chops, teasing, and peer pressure to go out drinking, I made some women feel self-conscious, anxious, and fear they might not be taken seriously.

It's fair to say he sexually harassed women, even if you think he should be forgiven after apologizing for it.

Also, an "extraordinary" claim would be "the Earth is flat." The harassment of women in the workplace is known and even quite common!
Those example pictures are trippy! Some of them look like those weird DeepMind sick-fever dream creations. Except I assume they are all real photos, not generated. It's very possible that a trained AI would be better-able to identify some of the candidates than I would.

For example, from OP's post, w/ coordinate system starting at lower left, I have no idea what I'm looking at in these examples, except they look organic-ish:
[1]: [1,4], [3,2], [4,1]

sillysaurusx: I've never seen conglomerate pictures like this used in AI training. Do you train models on these 4x4 images? What's the purpose vs a single picture at a time? Does the model know that you're feeding it 4x4 examples, or does it have to figure that out itself?

Aside: Another awesome 'sick-fever dream creation' example if you missed it when it made the rounds on HN is this[3]. Slide the creativity filter up for weirdness!

Nop, sorry. I never had to :(
Anyway, I don't think that will be an issue.

I also wander, what would a good English translation consists of? 14th century English? I'm afraid the subtleties related to the language will be lost, in this case, won't they?

And the rest is just mundane stories, which you will appreciate in any language, I'd say.

So, I wouldn't worry. Buy any version and enjoy, as I did, reading about how the world didn't change much in 7 centuries :) (I also find some tales quite funny.)
I tried a lot of the products that involve putting drops in your ear, and maybe they work for delicate dainty people. The only thing that works for me is dozens of painful, loud blasts of hot water from a bulb until the abomination lurking inside has had enough and comes out.

"Hacker News" as the name of this project seems rather disrespectful toward YC/pg.

For the sake of respect, I would consider renaming your project.

Iron Man. I can't say why Downey's portrayal of being in the zone is so compelling, but it makes me want to build something.

Apollo 13. When engineering had heroic scope.

Sometimes 300 is stirring and brings a sort of you're-not-alone feeling when I'm stuck at the office. Also the RiffTrax commentary is hilarious.
The reason we are using the HN codebase is because it has been proven to work (socially and not just technically). Since this is a not a for profit initiative (no ads/links), there is no sense investing time in reinventing it when this just works.
you really should pick a different name. even if you're legally allowed to use a snapshot of the HN codebase. Calling yourself HN India makes it sound like you're the official India branch of HN. There are already enough stereotypes about Asian folks making cheap clones/ripoffs of Western services or products that it's also not good to open yourself to that criticism as well, even if not necessarily warranted.
Why would you exclude text labels from visual programming? I think this is an artificial distinction. Sometimes they provide the best balance of space consumption vs. clarity. Labels on their own aren't natural language, they are at most terms put into context by the surrounding graphics; would your criteria be that visual programs use icons for every single concept?

Also, you'll find that that where we departed from conventions for flowcharting, we did it to save pixels, or make the UI more accessible. There is a tradeoff in visual programming between ease of editing and clutter--compare with Max MSP, which has a stark UI, at the cost of having you memorize certain textual commands. If you draw a bare flowchart, it's not obvious how to manipulate it until you draw other GUI controls on top of it or make some modifications. However, it is the general paradigm we are tapping into.
Adding seemingly trivial things to code can sometimes throw off performance entirely, by disaligning cache tables and such. It's not always cheating.

That said, if this is a pure bug, it seems pretty pathetic. For one, it proves that the engine is not robust. For another, it probably means that someone spent hours upon hours tweaking the code with only the sunspider benchmark as test - analogous to over-fitting the training data. It's really tempting to do this, but it's also a common enough amateur mistake that Microsoft should have best practices to avoid it.

All this is speculative for now. Let's see what they say.
