Oh man, I laughed at your story. I am amazed at how you are able to find irony in such a tough moment. Or perhaps kids are just able to enjoy even the smallest things.

This is definitely a story to tell (someday) your kids and grandkids during summer breaks, around the fireplace.

Thanks for sharing.

I understand how a water jacket helps with noise, but how does water cooling help with emissions?

I would have thought an air-cooled engine would run hotter, therefore burning more of the "bad" emissions before they even enter the exhaust

Please, do it. Even if it is for just one year. Costa Rica, I hear, is a great place and you can live very comfortably for a modest cost, and it is close to the States (if you are in America).

I moved from my country to the states a few 15 years ago; I cannot imagine my life otherwise. I would move again to another country if the conditions are right (and the conditions are not even much).

I wonder how open Japan might become to accepting foreigner immigration in the future, especially westerners (Japan is pretty famously racist, I think westerners would tend to be one of their least distasteful sources of immigration).

This looks pretty good. I'm helping look for a simple, nontechincal-person-compatible wiki system at work[0].

We were going to go with Hackpad, but then Dropbox bought them. (Still might, but Dropbox makes us uncomfortable, and Hackpad's official Twitter account stated last year that they are 'no longer actively developing Hackpad'[1]... presumably because they are now developing the still-unrelease Dropbox Notes?

Slimwiki was on HN before[2], 410 ago, when it was apparently new. So that answered my first question, "How long has this been around?" Looks like it was released in 2014.

The more important question about any system you are going to be dumping your business knowledge into and investing time in curating is, of course, "How long will this be around?"

Much harder to know, and the Slimwiki website does nothing to reassure me that it won't disappear when Jan Jones, the high school senior who made it for his class project, moves out of his parents' basement and goes off to college.[3]

Cool things about it in my 10-minute test drive:

1. Clean & attractive editing experience

2. Attach any arbitrary attachment and store it inside the wiki

3. Choose which AWS region you want backing your wiki (very important in Japan, where "Asia Pacific (Tokyo)" tends to offer a hundred times faster throughput and 1% of the latency of say, "US East (N. Virginia)"

Non-good things:

1. no simultaneous multiple editing like Hackpad, Google Docs, etc.

2. need to manually save changes, and to add insult to injury the 'delete all these changes' button is 2 pixels away from the 'save changes' button (yes I managed to nuke my edits in my first ten minutes using it)

All in all, looks neat, and this is after test-driving the dozen or so most-recommended wiki systems (self-hosted or otherwise).

Isn't this roughly equivalent to the concern that sometimes people give unfairly bad reviews on Yelp? Sure, it happens, but it seems like the solution isn't less data, but more. If you have 100 or 1000 data points on every driver, then it seems like it would be pretty easy to extract the people who are actually problematic versus just normal drivers.

I find it difficult to believe that the large governments, in control of many imaging satellites, could not find something like this if they were so inclined.

Take an enormous number of photos of the region at the right resolution, and have software eliminate the boring (empty) photos and flag the interesting ones (contain something of the right size) for human review. Heck, I bet it could even exclude known shipping lanes to minimize false positives.
This inspired me to go spec out my ideal 911. :D Here it is, in case anyone's interested! http://www.porsche-code.com/PGFQM4B5

One of very few sports cars left available in a manual transmission. (And I know, automatic and clutchless manual transmissions are really good now, but if I got a 911 it would mostly be for fun, and I find manuals more fun. I totally understand if you feel differently.) Anyway, it looks like another though is the new 2016 Jaguar F-Type. They're actually adding a manual option for 2016, which you don't see too often! (My F-Type would look like this [1]; sadly their links aren't as pretty.)

As an aside, I think the Jaguar does a better job with the two-tone colored interior. You want accents, but not to be punched in the face with redness (as a punch in the face would often be, I guess). The Porsche actually has an even redder option than this, where basically every surface is red. :/

Perhaps this deserves a post on the new AutoTempest blog[2]...

What are the two biggest issues in food delivery? I imagine it's the production of food and delivery of it, right? (Funny written out, but I'm sure you get my point - labour costs.)

Staff to load automated delivery vehicles and the patrons unloading at the other end will eventually solve one half.

Half decent automated food production could solve the other. A lot of Indian or Chinese dishes (curries, stir-fries, etc) could surely be automated? Adding and stirring, portioning out into containers, etc? Could do many pasta dishes in the same way.

With the right technology, and a limited selection of meals, could you realistically staff a restaurant delivering out to hundreds each night with 1-2 people? I could see unpack-and-go setups making this industry easy to scale.

If delivered meals were decent and cheap, I'd get it a few times a week. At the moment the price puts me off - labour costs are high in Australia.
I think this gets at the root of the decision at Twitter. They were faced with a problem: they want public figures to tweet, but tweeting can be risky. Killing Politwoops makes it just a little safer, and thus they hope more public figures will adopt the service.

Frankly, I think it's a bad call. If Twitter is infrastructure, it wouldn't work that way, but Twitter isn't infrastructure it's a company and I can see why it makes sense to do that as a company.

It's almost like capitalism doesn't make for good government watchdogs...?

Our current version of this in the US is a system where there are a much smaller number of observers (cops). Too many bad observations and you face license suspensions.

In practice, the small number of observers means that there are plenty of bad drivers who have long periods of bad behavior with no negative feedback. Basically all I'm suggesting here is increasing frequency of observation while reducing the size of the penalty from "large ticket" to "mild shame".

It's also approximately equivalent to what happens in a small community. There if you are a bad driver, word will get around and eventually get back to you. That doesn't seem like a terrible dynamic to me.
>US or Russia who have the large high resolution satellite networks in place it probably would have been found pretty quickly

Which makes me wonder about MH370.

1. Did a large country find it, but not want to divulge that because it would give away their "find stuff" capability.

2. Did the large countries try, but fail to find it, and obviously not divulge that because it would give away their inability to "find stuff" quickly

3. Did the large countries not even bother looking, because they have more important things to look at.

I talked to a professor at a community college teaching mainframe skills a couple years ago.

I asked him point blank at one point, what the average starting salary for a graduate from his school hired to do mainframe work was. The number he threw out was less than 1/2 of the starting salary of the average comp-sci graduate from the state school down the road. Granted the people from the CC had a two year degree, and were being hired for pretty low level positions. But unless the pay ramp was really steep anyone doing it was crazy not to just enroll in the comp-sci department at the state school and put in the additional two years.

I considered if becoming a mainframe expert was a good career move, and from what I can tell midlevel mainframe guys don't make as much as midlevel PHP experts. The top end is ok, but i've heard of people doing vmware designs/installs for more money. Maybe some mainframe guys are paid by the gold bar, but I sure didn't meet any.

That is probably why there is a "shortage". People my age look at it and decide its not a good move because while companies will pay 8 figures for a machine they won't pay a fraction of it to the guys running said machine.

Some 'purists' in a local Porsche club with whom I chatted a few years ago actually preferred the front-engined 944 and 968 when viewed as pure sporting cars. Perfect balance and spot-on handling ( though I have never driven one ).

But strangely many of them still lusted after a 911 as a challenge, to try to tame "the beast".

> about 20 years of professional experience and I live in Italy, my rate takes both those factors in consideration, and I am more than happy about it

I'm curious, why do you think the place you live should be taken into consideration? I always thought that in case of remote work location/nationality should be irrelevant, or it's just discrimination.

Unless you meant it as: you're in Italy and set the rate for Italian employers?
If I were justifying bad behavior, that would be a reasonable concern. Good thing I'm not.

Yes, one should always tip. But my brother, who was a waiter for many years, was very tolerant of poor people from subcultures where tipping was uncommon or mysterious. Accepting that not everybody can yet play at your level isn't justifying bad behavior.

I recently joined Toptal and was shocked to have my rate set at $30/hour. I got them to raise it to $40/hour, but that's still nowhere near what I was earning working as an independent contractor or even what I can get on Elance.
Hm, is that the answer to the question why do we actually sleep?
So I may be misreading this, but if this is a throwaway account (created one hour ago), why not share the rate? And if it's not a throwaway, it is an awfully convenient coincidence that the first post you choose to make on HN is anonymously supporting Toptal, who you have been working with full-time for three years, 'earning more than most of the developers from the US'?
Disclaimer: I have never used Toptal.

Well it's not exactly an Intel micro architecture.
Not only is the all caps and profanity uncalled for here, but the unfounded assertion that "everyone" uses "Intel syntax" is wrong. The Solaris assembler as one example, uses the "AT&T syntax". Also, this is reflected in older UNIX apis such as bcopy which use src, dest.

Personally, I always preferred src,dest over dest,src but as long as the language is consistent I don't care.
Chinese storm hotel seize metals exchange head
Same as me. They asked me to do 3 challenges in 90 minutes on codility. The problems seemed like nothing I had ever encountered in my 5+ years as a web + backend developer. I told them so. They then proceeded to send me a long email telling me that how as an engineer I should delight in solving those kinds of problems. Clearly, I can train myself on codility to tackle those kinds of problems, but why should I just to pass an interview? Those are not the kinds of problems I'm interested in. Such a stupid company with a stupid mentality.
Poland is still very closed society. You will be fine in large cities (Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan, Warszawa, Gdansk), but unlikely to do well in small and medium cities.

Wages are way smaller than in EU countries, prices are pretty much the same. Real estate might be the only exception, but not by much.

Polish is a very hard language to pick up. Not only tongue twister, but full of exceptions and mind twisting rules. A pretty good example is counting objects, e.g. apples: 1-4 jablka, 5-21 jablek, 22-24 jablka, 25.. jablek. Yes, good luck with that!

The good news is most young and some mid-age people speak English, large cities welcome foreigners, and - if you have decent profession - you will do ok.
I Can't Wait for NoSQL to Die (2010)
The OP assumes many things about 'turning it off and on again'. Firstly it assumes that turning something off and restarting will bring it back to some default state. That isn't always true, especially for computers. Say some new code has been injected. Restarting, going through the motion of boot and login, may allow that code to do something (harvest logic creds) that it otherwise might not.

And the OP assumes that once 'off' has been achieved that "on" is always a possibility. Forget the car. Think airplane that has lost instruments, but the engines are still working. Turning things off might move you from bad to worse. Maybe you stick with the partially-working machine rather than risk bricking things.
Joel Spolsky's article, "Everyone thinks they're hiring the top 1%" seems relevant here.

The default output format of HotSpot is AT&T. The default output format of GCC is AT&T. The default output format of Clang is AT&T. Tools like the universal compiler output viewer https://gcc.godbolt.org use AT&T by default.

Intel isn't the universally accepted format you think it is. I'm a professional VM researcher and I use AT&T more often than Intel. In fact I most often see Intel when reading Intel documentation.

You're shouting about nothing more than empirical than tabs vs spaces, and even then I think your side is actually in a minority.
There's no doubt Power Cycling helps. But I would argue it helps for people who 'consume' products. It is anything but a help for Engineers, for people who design products.

There's so many examples I could provide: you are a software engineer, the program you develop works well for a day and then crashes. You can either investigate the problem, find there's a memory leak and fix it or Power Cycle your program.

-> If you design a product, don't go for the easy stuff, don't power cycle just to get back to a well known scenario. Investigate and fix.

It's comparable to any world-class city, and significantly cheaper than, say, San Francisco or London (especially if you consider the age/condition of apartments). The population of the Tokyo area is still growing, so I'm guessing people are just moving more towards the city's center.
There are 510 trillion square miles of surface area on the planet. Just.. imagine the logistical challenge of taking and storing these pictures, let alone the _process_ of obtaining them. It's almost impossible to achieve anything like a "snapshot" of the surface; because of this, it's almost useless for locating moving objects on the surface.

You could, conceivably, completely miss the object in your imaging passes; or the satellite you have tasked for a particular ground track has an error in it's imaging sensor or downlink equipment, meaning you're missing a huge chunk of data for a while. You might also have to move the satellites around occasionally making imaging useless during these periods as well.

Also.. there's night and weather. You can't always freely image the surface just because you have a camera pointed in that direction.

These are just a small number of reasons that whole-earth real-time imaging is seriously difficult.
Yeah, I think I've seen maybe one researcher post their code in Julia, and I only found that because of reddit.

The statistical community is still 100% on R and likely will be for some time.
I don't know the solution; knowing the solution is a different matter.

The solution is to actually be intelligent, strategic, and authentic. On a really good day, a given politician is batting two of three there.

I think that part of the accountability of these folks is precisely that their gaffs are on easy public record. If we allow memory holes for the elite, they can keep fucking up and we're none the wiser.

Appreciate your perspective on that. Curious, what was the cost of living in that area? Mine is one of the lower in the country: $50-70k/yr/household is decent living. People here often see what people get paid in Bay area, New York, Chicago, etc and think we're hugely ripped off. Then, they look at housing, etc to see a bit different picture.

So, I wonder if it's that industry segment in general getting ripped off or just your area.

And the OP assumes that once 'off' has been achieved that "on" is always a possibility.

Or that to do this is a simple operation with no other side-effects. As one of the other comments here points out, power-cycling is probably acceptable for consumer products, but with systems that are more mission-critical, should really be closer to a last-resort method.
The Inspection Paradox Is Everywhere (Probably Overthinking It)
Yes, power cycling most often treats the symptom, not the problem. As a consumer, you often don't have a way to treat the problem, so that's your only recourse. As an engineer, or really anyone capable and responsible for fixing the problem, often you do not want to power cycle, because if the problem goes away you may no longer have a way or reproducing it. That makes most problems harder to fix, and possibly impossible to confirm fixed.

I often reduce how I classify the importance of bug reports I get that I can't reproduce. It's often not efficient to work on something with so little information to go on. Further information on the bug or a reproducible error case vastly help.
