I had a bad experience with hotels.com a few years ago where the hotel didn't honor my request for two beds—a request that I thought was guaranteed. Reading the fine-print, I discovered that it was completely up to the hotel; not surprisingly, my booking got very low priority. I now book all travel—hotels, airfare, etc.—directly with the provider. The service ends up being a lot better, and the cost is usually the same.
I was only aware of it because I was sitting next to him, with the only result being telling the story to friends, and writing this comment several years later. I presume whatever questioning/etc they did do was in a private.
I suspect this would be a headline in a newspaper based in the capital cities of those countries.
Firstly I'd suggest getting a screen recorder for your OS. There are quite a lot of good ones out there, even non root ones for Android.

I'm happy to recommend some for Linux and Android if you need me to.

After that there are several tools to convert your video into a GIF. Do be aware of the colour limitations of GIFs however.
Right. And I see. Are these managed by something like migrations?
yes, afaik modern ABS uses accelerometers to detect if the car is skidding
I don't use their products and the place I used to work was a little surprised when I pointed out his multiple connections to the current regime.

I also thought it was odd he always seemed to have no problem catching US nation state malware, but all of those Russian state cyber weapons other companies keep finding seem to allude him and his team.

Coincidence?
Pull Request Workflow Using Snap CI and GitHub

I don't know - I believe the barrier is in the embedded flash technology used (NOR flashes that are fast/reliable/big enough).
Same book page 21:

"But there are evidences to show that to all intents and purposes, Sanskrit was a living language and view that it was spoken by at least a large section of the people."

The author then writes a more nuanced answer.

> This exclusivity of Sanskrit learning is also one of the likely reasons why Buddhist teachings are in Prakrits (dharma = dhamma, etc.).

This, while possibly true, is misleading in this context. All it means is that Sanskrit was on its way out by that time period, and in that region. It does not square with your previous claim that Sanskrit was never spoken by the masses.

As another factor of note, we are talking about a large geographic region and a large time period. I am not even sure what qualifies as "Prakrit". If it just means "vernacular", it would still qualify as Sanskrit. As you mentioned previously, Kannada has at least four dialects. Raichur Kannada sounds quite different from the Kannada of textbooks or news reports. But it's still considered Kannada. Can we use a similar approach to consider Prakrit as just a dialect of Sanskrit? I don't know. I am neither a linguist, nor a Sanskrit historian.
> We do plan to add file offset access and larger file support very soon, so you would be able to append a 1 MByte chunk to an existing file in Backblaze with a SHA-1 of only the 1 MByte chunk. That should allow you to stream?

Yeah, that would be sufficient.
It means that there's still work to do on the Linux port and RISC-Vs supervisor mode ISA in general.

FWIW I heard a liver specialist on the radio earlier this year say that all alcohol consumption is damaging, the less of it you consume the less damage it does to you and that's it.
He said that as an admitted social drinker himself.
Yep. Node-red remixed with some MQTT in a non-supported way.

yay.

As for me, I'll roll my own and stick with Node-red, mySensors arduino/nRF24L01+ stack. It just works, and it works Now. And compatibility is easy to do. Connecting to Octoblu (or any MQTT broker) is 1 node away, and just works.
Considerations before switching server types
If you want easy: GifCam (make sure to get from the official dev [0]). It lacks zoom in/out features but is one of the easiest way to creates gifs on Windows.

If you want zoom in/out (not as easy) you'll need to record a video where this is a feature, then convert the video to a .gif. I know Camtasia Studio can do this. I never found it all that intuitive and it would often zoom when I didn't want it to, but I didn't spend long learning the specifics so I factor that as user error.

USA apologize to Asad and help him? Why do they hate him so much? I know he openly criticized USA international politics and prefers to be friends with Russia but is that enough to want him gone at such enormous cost?
Sure, it's not geographically redundant, but nobody in this thread claimed it was. DinkyG disputed that your "one datacenter" claim was false, which it appears to be.
I can't speak much for the small towns in the immediate vicinity of the reactor, but living in Aizu directly after the disaster, life goes on in places like Fukushima市 and Koriyama and Iwaki, with a really positive attitude, too.
The principle behind airliner design is no single failure can cause the loss of the airliner. This principle was not applied to Fukushima's design nor the Deepwater Horizon's design.

For example, the backup generators could have been protected from the seawater inundation rather easily.

1. SSL is terminated near the user - the multiple round trips to do a TLS handshake for a user in Sydney will never leave the city, instead of having to traverse the pacific.

2. Static content is served locally from their CDN. Same thing, your JPEG served to a guy mombasa is coming from a few miles away, not half a world away.

3. If your clients are using old browsers without keepalive, CloudFlare will still keep connections alive from their local endpoint to your servers - making the new-connection cost only occur on the first couple of hops.

4. For dynamic content you can use a special proxy they created which keeps a synchronized cache with the far end so it can ships diffs. If you generate a page thats mostly similar to another page it can just send "Same As Cache Object 124567 except Line 147 says "Welcome chubot" instead of "Welcome orionhenry". A significant percentage of dynamic responses can traverse the world as a single TCP packet.

5. Their devs are really ruthless about keeping the crypto certs as small as possible, with the goal of all handshakes taking a single packet per step.

Is bread with holes necessarily a bagel? Wikipedia suggests likely Jewish origins in Poland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagel
Succinct, but I think it's more restrictive than what they're saying - more like, "You can't make a bridge/device that would allow a Hue app to control something that isn't a lightbulb."
Haggle.

I find saying something like: "I'm confused, because I can find a better price online for this room of $XX.XX" works every time that I've used it. I've never even had to apply the additional pressure of: "It seems unnecessary, but if you can't match that, then I guess I'll have to book online."

That's rather unfortunate, as more and more of the people putting their degree to work definitely need to know what it is, especially in start ups.
I mentioned a few of these the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10240084

How do we fix the current system? We could make a global centralized review system for doctors then start maintaing records of performance, mistakes due to just being a "bad doctor," mistakes due to just bad timing (patient complained too late to fix), mistakes due to being overworked ("seeing" 100 patients a day), etc.

Even with a global system of reviews and oversight, we'd need a way to evict the failing doctors or reduce their responsibilities.

It's a lot like the rampant police violence/corruption problems coming to light now because everybody has mobile video recorders. When everything is hidden, nobody notices and it's difficult getting anybody to believe you about widespread systemic failures.

This article isn't about the tsunami. If it were, it would probably be called 'Sendai', not 'Fukushima'.

The Tōhoku earthquake & tsunami killed close to 20,000 people. The author completely ignored those victims.

It's an incredibly callous attitude to tell people not to care about something. I know people who live there (Fukushima and Koriyama) and I can and will continue to care about them.
What does that tell you about what matters: on the job performance? What's a pass? What's a fail?

Two people could tell you the same thing. for example, they doggedly raised issues, keep escalating, ended up talking with the CEO directly, and couldn't make a change happen. Except, in case 1, it turns out there were good reasons, or bad reasons, but the person alienated everyone and made it impossible for them to effectively do their job (bad culture if so, but hey, you need to be aware of what you can do and not do). Second person did all that, but cemented relationships in the processs. Chances are you won't know the difference between the two.

Then take two more people. they barely tried. But one person was just not very pushy, and the other one rightly decoded the political landscape and rightly figured out that they would accomplish nothing, and probably get fired to boot.

How do you distinguish between those 4 stark choices, let alone the continuum of situations that actually exist? (people who just weren't effective at making the change, people that misjudged what the change should be, and so on)
A company that creates discussions boards for courses is already doing that. They are called Piazza (https://piazza.com/) and used the student data they have been collecting to Piazza Careers: https://recruiting.piazza.com/

Anyone know of a traditional bagel bakery in UK? Beigel Bake perhaps (Brick Lane)?

I always thought bagels were a bit harder so they lasted longer like German rye loaf. I didn't know about the dough-boiling bit.
Yes, much of GitHub's core infrastructure is written in C.
Also completely ubiquitous in the UK.

I've never heard of a UK company offering any professional role (software or otherwise) that doesn't have a probationary period written into the standard contract.
Not to defend the attitude/behavior of the employees, but I can share my perspective as someone who has managed a small food business that repeatedly used Groupons (because they worked for us, despite what I'm about to describe).

There was always a large minority of Groupon users trying to get the rules bent/broken in their favor--so for example, the Groupon they purchased might say "Only useable Monday-Thursday, does not stack with any other Groupon, coupon, promotion, or discount" and then they'd come in on a Saturday and try to use their Groupon with another discount. When we'd explain why that wasn't possible, they'd complain, hold up service for other customers, and/or write negative online reviews. This happened pretty consistently over the course of 2 years and 3 different Groupon deals we had.

However, we were not a restaurant--we sold pre-packaged gourmet sweets--and so none of our employees depended on tips to get paid. We also had high profit margin on our goods, so we still made a good amount of profit with the discounted Groupon prices. Additionally, despite the above-described behavior happening consistently, we had even more Groupon users discover the place for the first time, and then become returning and loyal customers.

So Groupon worked out for us, but I think it's because we had a pretty unique situation.
Wow, another arbitrary interview technique of dubious worth. Yay...

"Are you ready to be CEO of Google on Monday?" If they say yes, then I'll probably entertain myself by asking how they'd run the company while mentally moving on to the next candidate."

Why does a young candidate believing he can be CEO of google mean he can't work for you as a javascript developer? How do already know how good this candidate is at business? After all, google was founded by 20 year olds with 0 business experience. Some would argue it went wrong when suited business people took so much control over it (6 adds on a search result today).

Ultimately though, my larger point is that what objective evidence is there that this technique is any better than a coin flip? If none, why are you telling us?
This article writes the basic step of type creation, punchcutting, out of the story. It's crucial and exacting, while many other letterpress process are mechanical and unskilled. A lot of letterpress fans seem to fetishize processes and outcomes that are actually not that special.

Sounds pretty circumstantial. Adobe for example has had many security vulnerabilities in flash over the years. I doubt that they were intentional back doors.

This is why I hate interviews. Interviewers can be as sadistic as they please, get drunk on this "power", and act like jackasses. I have had only a handful of interviews where my impression of the interviewer was not lowered significantly over the course of the interview.

From the question:

> It's at your ideal company with your ideal job title and salary.

From his discussion:

> I immediately exclude discussion of company, title, and salary, because these are the things people think they want but can't really affect my decision.

Then why ask it? Why make it part of the question, if the information is meaningless? If you asked me what I wanted to do, I could come up with an answer pretty quick. But if you added in stuff about ideal title, salary, etc, then I would have a lot of trouble answering that part—which you don't even want or need.
When you see how little time physicians spend with patients, this is not a surprise. Additionally, new research is continually coming out, and the doctors are often not up-to-date on it. This is a huge problem called Translational Research. For this reason, it is important that you do your own research.
Yes, there's an element of self-fulfilling prophecy about it, but there's also acceptance of the inevitable. I know a few servers who I trust would remain professional and courteous to groupon customers. Universally complain that groupon users make poor customers. (Not strictly limited to groupon. "$2 specials everywhere" bar crawls of any ilk draw similar complaints.) I mean, it's not like all the servers got together and decided to A/B test groupon customers by being meaner to them than others just for the funsies. How does a server with no priors come to treat one group differently than another?
Structure was probably the wrong word, I meant more the plant as a whole. I think my point still remains... it would be a very rare structure that wouldn't have a design flaw exposed by such a large earthquake/tsunami one-two punch.
If you use `codesign -v --verbose /Applications/Xcode.app` you may see:

That should be safe.

It's a bit of a shock that Apple:

1) is modifying sealed containers post-install (it's the weekly periodic job that rebuilds whatis database from installed man pages)

2) doesn't realize this and has put out instructions that will cause lots of false positives

They say:

"...it is a condition of access to our API documentation that you do not use it to develop or distribute any bridges or devices which interpret the hue API in order to control physical devices."

A lightbulb is a physical device. It seems clear to me that they distribute this API and documentation with a license that ensures that you can only write software to work with their hardware.
> cost $100 trillion (money which would be spent anyway on non-renewable energy infrastructure)

For every dollar diverted from non-renewable infrastructure spending, can you produce the same amount of energy? My guess is that it's not possible; certainly not without a lot of price disruptions and/or mass subsidies. But I do like the idea of savings that come from spending less on security.

I've posted about the benefits of Meteor on HN before (the tiny apps I built were easy to do), and many times I've been told that the Meteor packages you'll use are out of date and require effort to make work. On this thread however people are saying using Meteor is buttery smooth. Any people care to chime on this issue? Without diving in myself and building a large app, I'm having a hard to determining if the Meteor package ecosystem is thriving or stagnating.
Straight ethanol kills cells, including taste buds, almost instantly. The cell death alone is a noxious stimulus without even discussing the ethanol, which I think most people would agree is quite unpleasant. Bacardi 151 and other such ultra-hard liquors are primarily for flambe or making batches of mixed drinks. College kids who down them and swear it's awesome are either lying or still delusionally pumped on hormones. Alchololics who swear by such liquors have no taste buds left and are possibly well on their way to head and neck or esophageal carcinomas due to all the excess squamous cell turnover.

This analogy doesn't really hold because if you run 15 miles tomorrow, get sore for three days, then run 15 miles when you're not sore again, you'll only be sore for 2.5 days, and then 2, 1.5, 1, and 0 or whatever.

Where as with alcohol, you can never really strengthen your body against a hangover. And you certainly don't get stronger and healthier because of it.

I was replying to your comment specifically about tipping customs in the US. If you grow up in the US and go to restaurants it's not unreasonable to absorb tipping etiquette along the way.

You still save money with a coupon, you're not paying full price for the meal. That's no reason to screw over the server who depends on tips for a living. If someone is seriously strapped for cash and needs to save money, they should be cooking at home, not going to restaurants.

Don't get me wrong, I'd happily do away with the whole tipping culture and just have the entire price printed on the menu. But, as long as we have tips, take the time to learn how to do it right.

Wekan author here. On my computer hot reload takes roughly 5s [Thinkpad T440s, ubuntu, 12go of RAM]. I'm not sure if the jade and stylus compilers add some time in the case I only modify JavaScript files, but anyway I plan to migrate these two package to support the new compiler API.

Still 5s is far from ideal considering the development experience with webpack and React hot loader.
