And actually some quite important founders of Christianity (Jesus, Joseph) spent some time alone, in the desert and I don't think it's pictured as a 'bad' thing in the bible.
Seriously if you are not earning enough remote working to buy a new laptop / tower, charge more.

I worked remote for 2 years and was paying for a separate office space about 20 minutes walk away. You have to have that separation - otherwise you will take two hours to make lunch and just get that lawn mown instead of doing the emails.

Take a laptop to the library or to Starbucks, go find a friend I a similar shape and swap rooms, knock on local company doors and do website maintenance in return for a desk.

Do not work in your one room in a flat share. Get out. Have physical distance
This article points out problems with unbalanced vegetarian and vegan diets. A balanced one is not that hard to achieve, there are many good resources that give you examples of such varied diets. If well done, supplements are unnecessary apart from vitamin B12. Even B12 doesn't need to be in pills: vegans can get it from marmite/vegemite, and vegetarians from eggs and diary.

That being said, it's still advisable to check for deficits, of course.

Interesting. Given that divide, I've a hard time placing myself. I'm not a talented drummer, but to simply say I 'just can't' is something else.

I've had lessons from 8-16, and played in a band until 21. I was able to pick up all the exercises, usually a bit easier than my classmates (perhaps I practiced more, although the 10 mins a day average was already a tough battle), but they were always better and more natural at picking up the rhythm of, and playing along with a music tape (CD later on ;).

Now, a bit older, I can pick up the beat of most songs, even without drums, but I always fail to get that pa-pa-pa-pam in the Friends theme. I think if would write that one down, to see the rhythm on paper, I easily could, but au natural, non.

I always thought I was untalented but 'learned' my way through it for as long as it could take me (helped by the fact that I am, in many areas, a fast learner). But that doesn't seem to match either of the sides of the divide you describe.

Sidenote: I can by no means sing (even talk) and drum (or play guitar) at the same time, Not. At. All. I think that has something to do with wiring as well.
What is this, reddit?
The Christian bible does not definitively state where Hell is, and doesn't explicitly call it an "underworld". But there are also no references to different "planes of existence".

There are of course no actual references to "hell" in the original texts at all. Several other words are used in the old and new testaments. Which of these correspond to "hell" is up to the translator and the translations don't agree. Some of the words (Hades) were literally underground. Others (Gehenna) not so much.

Wikipedia has a discussion about it. It seems like the "literally inside the Earth" interpretation is trending downward, which isn't surprising since biblical literalism in general seems to be declining.

Regardless of whether some people can tiptoe around it and mitigate the consequences, a physical durability and portability is the main difference between laptops and desktops.

Sure, it's high-vs-low build quality, but MacBooks really do have something here that nobody else is doing: unibody aluminum frames, a big feature for durability, weight, and portability.
I disagree. I find immutably with GC much easier than mutability with the borrow checker for most tasks. The tradeoff is that you have to trust the compiler a lot to perform well, and that trust is not always warranted.
If you read through the comments here, there are people that go crazy when alone, and people which go crazy when in groups. It's kinda like saying you don't buy gravity. Sure, we don't fully understand all of the details, but to say the dichotomy doesn't exist isn't logical.
Huge fan of the millennium force. Has anyone tried the top thrill dragster at Cedar Point? Seems pretty epic, albeit very short.
I think this is a common path for MBPs of the same age. I've got a 2009 model and upgraded the HD to SSD and memory a couple of times. The processor can feel a little sluggish but it still handles what I need it to. But that's not really special to macs. Hardware just got to the point where it was mostly good enough. Not being able to upgrade the new MBPs does make me think twice. Either I fully load it and pay the premium or risk feeling I need more of XYZ later.

Something I do like about my MBP, even after quite a few years of abuse it still looks in decent shape. The case, screen hinge and keyboard all still feel solid. Which is where lots of other laptops seem to fall apart. Though the battery and trackpad have seen better days. Something nice about macs is they are usually serviceable for quite some time, either via Apple or third parties - I needed a new power adapter recently and could walk into a shop and get a new one there and then. Trying to track down power adapters etc for short lived models from other manufacturers can often be a pain.

All in all I don't think it's anything magic about macs. If you bought a similarly specd and built machine from someone else you'd be in the same position.
Good reminder generally, but on our mind specifically as we think through browser makers' plans to deprecate SHA1 for HTTPS connections. We'll post more on that topic soon.
Unfortunately I cannot share code.

It is actually quite simple. There is a graphical designer that connects to a data warehouse. There someone defines a graph like structure with nodes that contain a collection of data rows and relations to other nodes of data rows. This results in a library that you can interop with in existing software tools of the customer to query that graph model naturally (Stuff like Location('airport')=>Car('sedane')=>RentalHistory). It's basically a glorified ORM mapper with a graphical programming language for the codegen of the objects to produce a kind of data DSL.
Good stuff here.

People fall into the mistake of just comparing cores and memory specs between x86_64 and s390x. The hardware redundancy benefits are pretty huge. You really need a full proof-of-concept to get any picture of how your workload might run on System z.
This is a pretty cool idea.

One thing that would make it more useful to me, though much more difficult to implement, is that when you click a reused value, it store a reference to that result, so if you change the calculations for that result, all the references change also.

For example, that way I could have some initial parameters up top, and use those in a complicated calculation, with the end result changing if I change those parameters.
Agreed, this made my day. IMO only downside is that we don't have more of this sort of innovation happening at a smaller scale (akin to PG's recent tweet about the maturity of self driving cars relative to early versions of Google.
Pretty neat.

Curious if it's out of score or valuable to make the output/input behave more like a variable than copy/paste? e.g. line 1 is "2 + 3", so you click on the result, "5" and you use that in a new expression: "5 + 20". However, if you go and change the original line to "7 + 3" the second expression could update to "10 + 20"
In my opinion this is a brilliantly put together list.

The nostalgia that comes flooding back to me from my childhood almost brings tears of joy to my eyes.

It's truly staggering to read at the start that there were ten times as many titles (15,000) than there are for the DS or GBA.

I do wonder if the children of today will feel nostalgic about the software of today in 25 years time?

For some reason it doesn't feel like as much love and passion goes into a lot of games being produced at the moment. So many of those Spectrum titles were labours of love by single people working for months on their own in bedrooms.
great article and a really fun read!

Yeah, one thing is, negative reviews on Glassdoor seem to get killed.

I reviewed Amazon negatively, and of course it's no longer there.

I don't know if Glassdoor is doing like Yelp is alleged to be doing, but I've seen this with other companies as well, where the negative reviews get spiked.
You're conflating a "vegetarian diet in a developed nation" with a "diet that has severely limited food options", and making it seem as though a vegetarian in a developed nation would have a hard time remaining healthy. This is misleading.

It is at least as easy to be a healthy vegetarian in a developed location as it is to be a healthy omnivore in the same location.

You are also conflating "vegetarian diet" with "cereal-grain heavy diet" which is also misleading when applied to the developed world. Vegetarians in much of the developed world have effectively unlimited access to non-cereal grain foods, and there are many excellent vegetarian zinc sources (nuts, seeds, and beans among them).

In short: This paper cannot usefully be applied to the eating habits of people in developed nations in the way that you are applying it, because it is based primarily on the premise of a diet that is heavily cereal grain based, by necessity, which is not a description that matches the population you're attempting to apply these results to.

> It's so much easier to have a vaguely balanced nutrition when you eat meat. It's also perfectly possible to have it as a vegetarian, but it really requires that you know what you're doing and that you make sure you get necessary nutrients.

And, this one is just inaccurate. A balanced vegetarian diet in the developed world is no more difficult than a balanced omnivorous diet in the developed world. A fully vegan diet does introduce the necessity to think about B12, as it is not readily available in a vegan diet.

There's vast swaths of solid science indicating that reducing meat consumption has positive health impacts. Only when you read it through the lens of a "paleo" diet fanatic does one interpret the data to mean the opposite.
It found a conflict with an existing alias .. 'ul' I think it was .. and then all other aliases were considered in conflict too, even though they for sure were not. On OSX, 'ul' is the 'underline utility' from BSD, dunno if that is worth knowing.

React encourages writing core logic in a DOM agnostic way. What you're saying is not only true of different frameworks; once code touches the DOM it's poison for reusability, and you can see it even inside of the react ecosystem. The key is to abstract out a pure logical model, and then build your actual DOM-touching instances ontop of that.
Yes. We actually added that because one of the campaigns in the last Israeli election asked us to add it in. They didn't use it then, but we actually just white labeled a version for the group running their campaign.

There will be a slow trickle of AWS employees (working in a pretty isolated, high-margin sector of AMZN) showing up on tech blogs saying "hmm, everything's cool here, what's the problem?". It's already started on HN.
I seriously doubt that basic income can fix poverty, even absolute poverty. I am confident it cannot end relative poverty. I expect relative poverty to be with us always. My concern is this: Wealth grows out of power. It mostly runs in that direction and not the other. I know of too many historical examples of people trying to throw money at the problem and it accomplishing nothing.

iIRC, there is an island off the coast of Georgia where the wealthy white owner left it to his slaves. Decades later, the black inheritors were selling off their share as indivuduals and blowing the money on nice cars and what not. Whites were buying the land and turning it into an expensive vacation hotspot. Land value was going up. This was causing taxes to go up, forcing other blacks on the island to make hard choices, such as foregoing blood pressure medication in order to pay their taxes and not lose their house. Gifting the island to his slaves and freeing them did not make their descendents the equivalent of old money. It made them the equivalent of lottery winners.

My recollection is that Rosewood was a relatively wealthy black community burned to the ground by whites. No arrests were ever made. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood_massacre

I also once saw a story about someone who left (in their will) funds for medical care for blacks that went largely unused.

The minimum wage law was passed in order to bring wages in the deep south in line with other parts of the country. A major goal of the legislation was to end the Southern practice of paying blacks half what whites were paid for the same work. The initial result: Widespread black unemployment as many blacks were fired by whites unwilling to pay them a white man's wage.

Historically, trying to throw money at the problem of black poverty in the US has had little positive impact and any impact it had tend to be small scale and short lived. Fighting for black rights has a far better track record of raising them up out of poverty.

I see no reason why that principle shouldn't generalize. I have grave concerns that basic income will create a very permanent underclass and the haves will not care and will blame the underclass for their problems. When you look at the history of social programs, the amount they pay tends to rapidly decline in real terms due to inflation.

We need to find systemic solutions that focus on helping everyone effectively participate in the economy. I believe that is the only thing that will not lead to some nightmare dystopian future.

Thank you for your replies. It has been a pleasure.
You can also change any sensitive data you have. Also, the distributed/open web should not be one without moderation, just without mandated moderation. If I wrote a distributed social network, I would allow the user to choose a moderated "room"/"group" if he wished. This can facilitate deletion of items, but in many distributed systems, they are never deleted anyways. Be it a mostly immutable DHT or the "right to be forgotten" or whatever it is, in decentralized systems you cannot tell people what to do with data you put out there, you can only encrypt it. IMO, we'll still need the public auditable web for acts requiring responsibility for security failures. Users cannot be trusted with their own security nor can they be trusted to determine a bad actor from a good one.

MaidSafe is fully distributed. Each user is a node (i.e. "vault" or "persona" or whatever the proper name is).
Based on my experiences thus far, I don't think Iron or Hyper will do very well in Techempower. A framework based on mio can handle far more connections. But let's wait and see.

This thread is a bit old for me to expect a response, but I'm always curious when I see people using this terminology: what purpose does the term "scripting language" serve?

Holy crap! It's darned lucky they had so many officers handy!

That dude might have turned his crutches into some sort of martial arts weapon and killed hundreds of people! Hell, they could be some advanced flight system that would have let him ram the TransAmerica building and destroy it!

If that guy'd had both legs, they would have needed twice as many officers, SWAT, and an armored vehicle. I'm thankful the casualty list was so low. Oh, wait... No casualties? Even better!

Thanks, SFPD, for ridding the streets of another deadly terrorist!

It's too late for that. What was once the internet is now basically glorified cable TV. At this point, it's pretty much inevitable that it's going full Disney or bust.

Hi, great platform!

What is the business model??
I mean, Amazon is not, say, RealNetworks. Real has that reputation for me if you've been there longer than a year. If you've been at Amazon for years, I'm going to dig in but I'm not going to automatically assume it's a negative like I will with Real. It's on the cusp, but not an automatic thing.
OK, it says this:

For example, the Steiner Tree problem (STP) is
known to be NP-complete ... Nonetheless, a simple
physical process (termed an analog computation)
can apparently solve it quickly.

No, it can't. Small, trivial cases can be solved, but I believe it's been shown that when you get to mildly interesting cases it's just as likely to find non-optimal solutions, and sometimes even more likely to find non-optimal solutions.

This is at the top of page 2, and it doesn't bode at all well. Section 3 of Aaronson's paper[0] discusses this explicitly, and comes to the conclusion that, not to put too fine a point on it, it doesn't work.

In essence, looks like complete nonsense to me.

It's the perfect chance for a newer platform that already exists. If people are leaving because of trust issues, then they will go somewhere that people can already recommend which means it needs to already be released and have some customers.
Stack unwinding on OOM can't work properly right now given that stack unwinding can allocate memory. If anything trying to make that catchable locks you into aborting on double panic. It's a bad idea. The correct way to approach this is to design a standard library variant that doesn't assume success on allocation.
How do you know this to be the case? Just curious.
The game Driller is certainly worth a look. Though I'm not sure this would be my platform of choice.

It is a 3D puzzle game. Circa 1987 running on XT CGA class systems I find it to be fairly advanced for the time. But it feels certainly antiquated today. Still it definitely deserves a look.
The quote you gave refers to cereals specifically, not vegetarian diets in general. Fruits and vegetables are very high in a wide variety of nutrients and I would argue that it's far easier to eat an all vegetarian diet vs an all meat diet. Sadly, bacon just doesn't have the nutritional profile of spinach.

EDIT: Just for the heck of it, here's spinach vs bacon at similar calorie counts:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=spinach+2.3lb
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bacon+0.1lb

And I'm just using spinach as an example...A vegetarian diet should have a wide range of fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. and you should do your research on it before starting.

A long article, but what I found most astonishing was an Oxford University Press Medical Textbook plagiarizing from Wikipedia!

https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/files/textbook_vs._...

From the article:
"He pulled up the page’s revision history to identify the offending editor. He saw that the section was co-written in 2006 by two users, Rhys and ChyranandChloe, and that it was updated in 2010. He jumped back over to the textbook and saw that it was published in 2011. It turns out Heilman had it backwards: It was someone on Oxford’s side, perhaps Lloyd, who had taken from Wikipedia. (Lloyd did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)"

"The plagiarism was barely concealed. For reasons that remain unclear, some of the original citations from the Wikipedia page dropped out, and were replaced by pointers to other articles—articles that didn’t appear to support the claims made in the text, according to Heilman. In that sense, the Oxford textbook did not simply contain plagiarized text from Wikipedia; it appeared to make it less reliable."

"Christian Purdy, a spokesperson for Oxford University Press, acknowledged that some text was copied, but says this didn’t qualify as plagiarism. Instead, he called it an “inadvertent omission of an appropriate attribution.”"

> You wouldn't understand because you didn't experience the web when it was new and friendly.

Yes. Yes I did. I bathed in the firehose when it was just dribbles. I was first online in 1993 when I was still in High School. I remember finding porn on people's personal pages. I remember the nascent scribbbles of some of my favorite tech journalists. I remember looking at my url history file of 3 megs and now I know most of those places are gone. I certainly experienced the web when it was fresh.

However I didn't experience it in an academic or professional setting. I think that's the delta there, er, the change. Maybe you don't know what a delta is ;)

When I worked at Amazon I felt it was very cultish. "Today is day one!" and the BS like door desks (which cost more than actual desks but give the "we're a startup!" mentality boost.)

Looking on your list a surprising number of factors are much higher for amazon than for other, better jobs I've seen.

It is very much a cult. Microsoft had a bit of cultism in the 1990s (Billg was infallible, etc.) and another company I've worked for since tried to be a cult...
