Ask HN: Assume the universe is a simulation. Why is c the speed of light?
If you were to reverse engineer the universe from your observations, what would you say is the significance of the speed of light?

I'd say it's the clock-speed of the processor. The rate at which the universe ticks, always constant.

Or perhaps they used a primitive MAX_SPEED that can't hold anything larger than C.

This is nothing more than numerology... just parodeilia in another form.

Illuminating, in that it shows just how powerful the human brain is at pattern matching and finding false order in even random noise, particularly if we help it out by working the data a bit to produce a pleasing result.

Random? Why yes. See, the current conjecture is that Pi is a Normal Number:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number

"[This] means that no digit, or combination of digits, occurs more frequently than any other, and this is true whether the number is written in base 10, binary, or any other base."

Put another way, "A normal number can be thought of as an infinite sequence of coin flips (binary) or rolls of a die (base 6)."

Biggest headache for a boss is getting team members to play nice with each other.

The ability to solve problems with ones peers is a desirable managerial quality. Interpersonal savvy is very much a learned & practiced skill. This could prove a huge opportunity for your professional growth.

Suggest reading up in this area, Robert Bolton's book on People Skills is a good place to start > http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65327.People_Skills

Ultimately, moving on to a new company is easy. But dealing with difficult peers never fully goes away.

Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely put a focus on payment APIs.
Each available service in CloudRail needs to be defined once either by us or usually by our community or the API provider itself. If an API changes, the definition needs to be updated as well. After that you'll get a notification and can update your integration as well with just a click. So to answer your question, it depends how fast the community reacts on changes or if the provider cares about the definition itself.
>I think the question is why should you bother with PHP at all?

Because some people just prefer it. They know its warts and have learned to work around it. For me it is a much easier prototyping tool. The crazy number of built in functions and libraries out there makes it so. Eg: Want to turn on and off an IoT device at sunrise and sunset? Well for other languages you have to go find some library or depend on an external service but no not for PHP. For PHP there is freaking built in date_sunrise and date_sunset functions! [1]

There's a recorded instance of a B29 shooting down 14 fighters over Tokyo (it was also rammed by two fighters and still made it home). There are also instances of B29s downing MiGs over Korea.

The late model B17s were pretty effective too. An old Strategy & Tactics magazine quoted stats for two different air forces (recall it was the "US Army Air Corps" and "Air Forces" were simply an organizational unit) operating out of Britain over a two year period in WWII, one was bombers and the other fighters. Both shot down roughtly the same number of planes -- but the bombers used 100x as much ammunition. (Sorry, this is a 1970s print publication, no link, just my memory.)

Also recall that the Japanese lost almost all their trained pilots early in the war, so the B29 was using a far superior weapon system against very inexperienced pilots.

No. Prohibition is part of what racism is in the west, but it is not the "same thing." There are many forms of racism people struggle with every day that don't have anything to do with prohibition.

As far as I can tell, you're appropriating this argument to turn an important chance to remind people how brutalized black people are in America and turn it into a conversation about drug use and enforcement. I find this reprehensible and racist in and of itself, and I will no longer entertain a conversation with you.

From my personal experience, I can say that such teams are toxic and you have 2 options: 1) don't say anything publicly, just focus on the work, and 2) leave. If the company has a huge turnover (like the one I worked at), nobody will say anything about leaving quickly. Just be confident, you cannot lower your value as a developer and human being just to fit some bad, toxic place.
Very interesting. Atmospherics might also be useful as an RNG or possibly a trustworthy public randomness beacon.

Hm, to me it looks as if there was a slight upwards trend in the data. Some fitting would have to go on to see if that's true; however, most of the time, fitting by approximating by hand is not so bad. Look at the smoothed data too, it's more obvious there.

Also, mind that the scale is in cm and numbers given for sea level rise up to now is in the mm range. We can argue about the clear drop in 2014. And I wonder what happened in 1998. Good source, thank you!

edit: Stopped wondering about 1998, it's clearly a strong El Niño signal, and the theory fits as well. Thus, it will probably go back up after next year.

I must agree. For what it's worth, at a previous job, I remember observing a real shift in my team's personalities after a few months. Negativity can be really contagious, and it's possible that an unshakably positive force (you) may be the cause of a greater shift.

Might be worth a shot.

This sounds like a personality conflict.

Old joke: "Personality conflict" is one of those code phrases for "Somebody here is an asshole"

Seriously, though, team members have certain styles, and teams fit together in a certain way. Most companies never figure out that you can take 4 or 5 great teams, remix all the people, then end up with 4 or 5 horrible teams. It's not skills -- a lot has to do with the way the personalities mix.

If you are completely out to sea -- unaware of how to continue -- perhaps you just name it and shame it. "Hey Joe, I see you're trying to teach me error handling again although I've been doing this longer than you have. Okay if I start doing the same to you?" Then start doing it.

Was working with a CEO of a small company once. I think they had around 100-120 employees, all knowledgeable about a certain part of tech. I was brought in also as somebody who knew what he was doing, but since I was working directly with the CEO, I kind of held back a bit to see how he worked.

Bad decision. He ran over me. The first time he mentioned something they had invited me in on, I tried to raise my hand. He ignored me. The second time I was a little more insistent. By Day 3, he started in on the same topic again, I simply said "You know, I've written a couple of small books about this and devised my own training material. But what the hell do I know?"

I wish I could say that solved the problem. It did not. He was still an asshole and we didn't get along. But I had to take what he was doing to me and do it right back to him for him to be able to see it. I got to start doing the work they had hired me for. If we had continued working together after that first week, it would have probably gotten very interesting!

Either you walk or give as good as you get. If you're shy and the others are domineering, passive and passive/aggressive techniques are just going to make it worse.
Another way (which I usually use) is to plug in a USB ethernet adapter (or on Pis with LAN, just plug in onboard), then when the Pi is booted, use something like Fing[1] to ID the new IP address on the network. SSH into it (it's enabled by default) with `ssh pi@[ip]` and away you go!

Look also at the official Raspberry Pi documentation[2], which is more succinctly summed up on SO[3].

For WiFi, you can configure the microSD card in another Pi (I usually mint cards on my Mac, then configure a master copy in a Pi 2, then drop it into other Pis headless) so it has the SSID/PSK in the wpa config file.

Everything You Need to Know About CMRR
>The guns on a bomber were never really meant for engaging aircraft. They're meant to deter fighters from ever getting near the bomber. Not many pilots are willing to sit directly in the path of machine gun fire, even if it is not very accurate. German anti-aircraft figured this out as well. They switched to shooting mostly tracer rounds. You aren't going to hit anything in the first place, so you might as well just scare the crap out of them.

Never really meant? Some citations there would be nice.

US day bombers that were not protected by fighters often suffered heavy losses against the Luftwaffe. Which is why unescorted daylight bombing was suspended following the 25% casualty raid on Schweinfurt.

>They switched to shooting mostly tracer rounds.
..right. What I've read is that many units stopped using tracers altogether on pure fighters because their different ballistics at long range meant that they were not useful. The gas created when the base of the tracer burned diminished drag. (this has later been adopted for howitzer ammo, base bleed increases range by up to 30%)

Franchise (short story)
I'm a remote worker who took a new job this year.

I'm going to operate under the assumption that you're a remote worker applying for a job that involves working with in-office folks since that wasn't provided in the question and it's the only thing I have experience with. There are a few things I would recommend discussing/negotiating before choosing to take the job.

Make sure that the company is going to provide you with the equipment, appropriate software licenses and such that you need to do your job (or salary for you to afford the expense). Consider things like upgrade frequency, office supplies and other factors that are normally a given in an in-the-office job.

Discuss communication expectations and work/life balance. What communications tools does the team use? Are they appropriate for asynchronous communications or is the culture one of "tap the guy on the shoulder"? There's a sort of undercurrent of concern that rips through you when you're a remote worker that might have you feeling like you have to work "all the time", especially if your team is in a radically different time zone. Prior to accepting the job I ensured that my performance would be based on meeting project deadlines with appropriate requirements to be in meetings when they're scheduled (and none are scheduled at obscene hours of the night for me). My biggest concern was that being the guy not in the office would equate a perception of being the guy who is just taking a vacation or goofing off (those who know me would laugh at that because I love the work I do, however, I tend to work a lot from a family vacation home, so the appearance was a concern of mine). I write software and my most efficient times to work vary. Knowing that often I can get 14 hours worth of normal work done in 6 hours if I target doing it at the right time, I wanted that flexibility to be baked into my work contract. Provided my scheduling flexibility doesn't block the rest of the team (it doesn't due to unique circumstances of my job), or cause me to miss a deadline (it often results in me being early, instead), I'm free to work when I want and due to the added efficiency, that equates to hours/week of time that I get back.

The bottom line on that last point is be sure to have a very solid discussion on how your performance will be tracked. Aim for the most objective measurements you can get, and ensure that you have substantial input in deciding deadlines. There's always external pressure on deadlines, but if you can't be a prime component in that decision making process you run the risk of being given work that is not possible to complete on time, setting yourself up for failure. If your discussion is dismissed or the answer is "we'll figure it out", beware. Your manager is likely the kind who equates performance with "butts in chairs" and you will always be an empty chair.

I'm not a big fan or frameworks for that reason. I do like some of the framework functionality and my apps are relatively small so I ended up going the micro framework route (Silex), using what I want (routing, forms, twig) and basically building the rest of the application in my own way.
Imagine a World Without Growth
I'll just add my $0.02 and say that sticking a job for a year is not necessary. I quit my first job shortly after I passed my probation - it was my first job out of university, and whilst the people weren't toxic, the work was, and the commute was hell like I have never encountered before. Right after I passed my probation things actually got worse, because then (as is normal in the UK) I had a 1-month notice period. I needed money to start paying my student loans so I'd stuck with the awful job, but once the first 3 months were up, I fell into depression. It was an extremely bleak period in my life. I was able to pull my boss to one side and talked to him at great length about the work I was doing, that I didn't feel I was contributing anything meaningful, that I was wasting my time in the job. He empathised, but there was little we could do to improve things. I looked at moving teams, but nothing appealed. We came to conclusion that the company and me were mutually incompatible. Shortly thereafter, I handed in my notice. I left at the 5-month mark.

About 6 months later, when I was feeling better, I interviewed for a job closer to home. When asked about why I was only at my first job for 5 months, I answered that I left for personal reasons. The matter wasn't pushed, but I later felt like I'd blown it. Much to my surprise, I got an offer, and a good one. I'm still at this company 2 and a half years later.

My conclusion is that no job is ever worth staying in if you don't feel like you're doing anything meaningful. If I'd tried to stick my first job for a full year, I would have topped myself. I couldn't stand working like that. I discussed the faults of my old job with my new colleagues after I started here and they understood.

As long as you're not hopping jobs every few months, you should be able to convince your interviewer it was a one-off. Don't worry about trying to work a full year in a toxic environment. Move on if you need to. At the end of the day, you can put a spin on your resume, but you can't spin your personal satisfaction with your job.
