It looks like Adblock Analytics can track users (IP adressess). Do ad blockers block all trackers, or just ad trackers, by default?
In many cases, if you are a new person, other people are still testing boundaries. I had a similar experience before. I sarcastically asked a co-worker if he has been an asshole all his life or just today because of the weather. That set things right that one time.

There is a first time to everything. If you move away, you are moving away from an opportunity to deal with things you never dealt with before. Your job is not so precious as you think. Try different approaches, be confrontational when you want to be, you don't have to be nice anymore, try to overcome this and you would be a much better person for yourself and others. Why do you have to be the one that goes to the manager, why cant you send your colleagues to the manager? Your manager might trust you more if you learn to deal with situations yourself.

It is possible some of my advice might seem "bad or condescending" but who cares I said what I wanted to say.

I happened to watch this old Andy Griffith show, it might be relevant.

There probably isn't a single solution that will meet all of a person's expectations -- i.e. a single solution that has a chat system that is close to Slack's and has a document sharing system that is close to Google Docs, etc.

This means the options are:

1. Prioritize on requirements and evaluate the tradeoffs involved in various integrated products, e.g. Campfire versus Slack.

2. Build your own operations around integrating services from various vendors of best of breed solutions.

Good luck.
You're probably talking about GodOS http://templeos.org/

It's true i haven't tested it yet on my DELLs, but these machines sit in a separated Vlan behind a big black blinking box and cannot communicate with anything outside.

But these HP machines could as well run DOS or TempleOS, since the culprit is in the BIOS - you don't even have to boot a kernel to have access your Fujitsu machine from the outside.

For normal dense matrix laid out as a double[] and accessed directly as i* N_ROW + j probably won't get its loop check elided. For double[][] I would _think_ that happens more easily.

But how are sparse matrices then generally laid out? A naive approach would be some hash map, perhaps with some locality, in which I don't see JIT problems.

I have had people stop on some essay I wrote too, come here and say "i stopped reading after...".

But because they didn't read it through they didn't read the part were I was addressing what I wrote.

I find this tendency pretty counter-productive to learning anything at all. "Oh there was something that is wrong" then I don't want to finalize it. I wonder if it says something about our generation or whether this is something thats always been at play (like older people who wouldn't take a punker serious because of how they look)

I don't want to single you out but I just don't understand this approach to reading things. Care to comment?
HN discussion is a public forum, and you don't get to dictate who replies to you. If you don't want to talk to me, that's up to you. You can simply stop talking to me. I'll get bored and wander off and you won't see me replying to you. If you don't understand what I'm saying, you can also choose to ask clarification. But I'm not asking any positive action of you.

What I do ask is that if you choose to reply to me, you reply to the things that I actually say. Instead, you repeatedly chose to say things which sounded like replies, but weren't. You tried to hide your lack-of-response - first, by talking about something unrelated to what I said, and second, by being all "I don't need to talk about what you want to talk about". Of course you don't! But if you're not going to talk about it, you don't get to pretend you replied to me.

#TheRoundUp by Enzer – No. 37
The iPhone was successful because everyone needs a phone, and it was a quantum leap in phone functionality (to the point where the actual phone function was secondary). And it was beautiful, so even if you only used it as a phone, it still made a fashion statement compared to the typical candybar phone or utilitarian Blackberry.

No one needs to carry a watch, so the Apple Watch has a much smaller potential market to begin with. It really needed to succeed as fashion (since that's a major reason anyone wears a watch these days), and it simply hasn't. The original iPhone looked like the future. The Apple Watch looks like a slightly sleeker version of a Dick Tracy wrist radio.

The Apple Watch (or whatever wearable form it evolves into) will be truly successful only when it can replace the iPhone entirely.

The actual data source will provide a country, state or sometimes even city and zipcode. Then whatever tool you're using to map drops a pin in the middle of that region. If you zoom in, you get whatever happens to be at the geographic center of whatever the mapping tool (probably Google Maps) thinks is the center. eg if it says "United States" and no other data, you get some random ass place in the middle of Kansas. Sometimes there can be more specific data, but just because you can keep zooming in doesn't mean that that's actually where it is

"A slew of books over the past two decades have proffered solutions to the ‘problem’ of consciousness. Among the best known are Christof Koch’s The Quest for Consciousness: A Neurobiological Approach (2004); Giulio Tononi and Gerald Edelman’s A Universe of Consciousness: How Matter Becomes Imagination (2000); Antonio Damasio’s The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness (1999); and the philosopher Daniel Dennett’s bluntly titled Consciousness Explained (1991)."

Used it for the book list.
Basically that and... I'd say when you don't share the location, they only have what's available publicly from GeoIP (via ISPs). Wen you do, your user agent actively tries to give them the best possible results (using GPS or anything else), that's the way I would put it.

I think PHP is a great language, not just a good one, and its competitors like Python and Ruby offer little to nothing over PHP (and vice-versa). They're all in the same boat. Same programming style (OOP), same constructs, same runtime models (interpreted, JIT). I'm so fucking tired of people who have not programmed in PHP claiming anything, let alone that it's a bad language. I can make that claim about any language currently in existence with plenty of "evidence" to back it up, but my purpose here isn't to annoy. The only thing I can deduce from posts like this is that people lash out against PHP because they get off on being closed-minded and trolling others.

I'd wager that gravity isn't 100% equal over the whole globe, the pull of the moon's gravity also isn't equal over the globe, and that the circulation of water across the world's oceans also isn't 100% (so there's different salinity, water pressure, various prevailing 'currents', temperature, etc...). Of course I don't study this, so I don't know the exact reasons, but I'm sure there is a reason...

I think what he meant is that the game is usually at beta quality - which is to say, it has funky bugs sometimes but it's rare that it corrupts your saves or lights your computer on fire - so this "beta" release is actually closer to another piece of software's alpha level of quality.

I'd call this release an alpha. Either pick up the previous release, which is solidly in stable-beta territory and is only not an RC because DF's features list is approximately as long as the equator, or wait a bit until this alpha reaches beta status again.

Yep. PDO still leaves room for string concatenation issues. Unfortunately, so does Doctrine.
The data might be noisy, but what is decidedly not noisy is the intrusion of sea water into the groundwater on those islands. These people used to keep vegetable gardens. Now they have to raise them and rely on rainwater tow after them. On these atoms you can see lots of palm tree stumps where the rising salinity killed them off one by one.

Project Buddy Wanted
I'd like to work on a project with a partner. Very low pressure. I'm an ex-tech executive currently working on writing a book, but I'd like to work on something that gets me out of the house, interacting with people, and building something. I'm thinking a simple e-commerce site. My main criterion is that you are smart, have about 5 hours a week to work in person in Palo Alto. Experienced or not, any functional background is fine. My background is commercial, fwiw - more details in my profile. Curious to see what I get back.

You nailed - this is the exact purpose of our service.
I get up about two to three times a night. I'm not sure why, as there are multiple explanations. I go to the toilet, drink some water, and go back to bed. That takes about two minutes.

In this research, people were forced to wake up every hour and then stay up for 20 minutes. Then I would feel totally different - I have no doubt. After twenty minutes, probably in bright light, I would be awake and that would disrupt the sleep cycle totally. This might be the case when you have a small kid, but how often does this happen (in the real world) with these frequencies?

With me this is not the case. It feels natural. I don't put the light on - I can find my way without it. It takes two or three minutes, and that's it. Back in bed I fall asleep right away.

This research is presented here as if this would influence my mood? I don't know. I guess I can sleep better, but this is not the explanation that works for me.

given the choice between facebook or dysphoria, github or git, netflix or bittorrent, twitter or rss, the fed or bitcoin, I would much prefer the "web-ring" be decentralized. The thing is, in each example I gave, I would say the proprietary singular institution always works out better because the decentralized example is too complicated for the average joe to invest the time to learn.

instead of a central web-ring, what we really need is this standardized meta-layer language over html. a way for people to "write on" a web page, and have it written back to the web server. a protocol that all web browsers speak, and all web servers accept. it could even be more irc like and less reddit like, a live chat that exists between all the people with the page open. it could be both. let clients choose their own way to make sense of the metadata, different browsers can have different comment viewing interfaces and sorting algorithms. i see w3c mentioned, but i havent looked into how it is stored. can a webhost censor comments. is a blockchain between participating servers better, so the data is immutable?

then people can make competing centralized repositories or the pages/servers can communicate with dht/blockchains and create their own decentralized mesh.
