Munchery has gone down hill.

Calling meals with 70g of fat "healthy" is a bit of a stretch.

They used to be more focused on good quality/fresh/healthy.

The menu is now the same every day and it's basically a restaurant delivery service where they pre-make the food in large quantities.

Presumably this is more sustainable for them money wise, but I used to order Munchery for dinner every single day (when open) for years, and now I do it maybe 1-2 times a week, begrudgingly.

Hopefully just a phase. They tried this same-every-day thing last year and lost a tonne of users.
We badly need micro-payments! A publisher earn around 0.1 cents from ads when I read an article. I would have no problem paying that, even for mediocre "content".

It can work like when you vote on HN, you give 1 cent to the author and the one who submitted the article gets 10%. Or you get 1 cent for each like on Facebook, or 1 cent for each view on Youtube.

That's a dickish thing to say about white men :-/
Teens and senior citizens are the most dangerous drivers due to lack of experience and declining motor skills, hand eye coordination, etc., respectively. Plus, there are some drivers on the road without insurance. So all decent/low mileage drivers subsidize these groups, to an extent.

But you're right, it is unfair to characterize auto insurance as a tax. It's more akin to a mandatory expense that should be factored into the price of owning a car and operating it on shared roads along with people of all driving skill levels.
You don't have to determine whether I am good at writing software. I put that right on my resume.

You just have to determine whether I am a liar--or, more generously, simply unable to assess my own abilities accurately.
I don't differentiate because I don't believe that those are sufficient safeguards. I believe this because when I was 12, friends routinely accessed firearms that their parents believed were secured, and many a starwars figurine was thus destroyed.

Your comment about chemical safety and tools bring up a very good point - a gun is just a tool, like a woodchipper, and while I wouldn't let my kid play with a woodchipper, I've never asked if there's one available at her friends house.

I'll freely admit that I'm inconsistent on this, and my attitude is based in part on my general anti-gun stance, and the easy moral superiority I feel when asking the question.

But seriously, my 12 year old self and friends never treated guns with the respect that we would a woodchipper. Possibly too many TV shows where guns were just bang bang bang, or that _Fargo_ hadn't come out yet.
Ask HN: Have you noticed Facebook being slow, laggy, and buggy lately?
In the past I always used Facebook as a near perfect example of how to build a system at scale with minimal service disruptions.

However within the last few months I have noticed many times Facebook loads slow, doesn't load at all, or throws errors when doing routine tasks. Not isolated on a network or machine either; I've noticed it happening everywhere.

Has anyone else noticed this? If so, do you have any thoughts/ideas on why this is happening? Is it simply due to size or are there other factors at play?
Google can already run whatever code they want on your docs server side.

Where Did We Come From?
Lots! We're getting really close, actually.
Last month my hardware start-up was almost shut down because our power supplies are CEC efficiency level 5 and not 6. Customs would have seized our entire last shipment. Prior to that I got a cease and desist from the Bluetooth SIG unless I immediately paid $2500 to $10000. I paid immediately.

I have no problem following regulations and paying for licenses. The problem is getting blind-sided by it. I still don't even understand if I need a RoHS certification to ship in my home state of California. Is there any resource you found helpful ? Thanks in advance.
Look at the extensive literature regarding children at this.

> Suppose that you are worried that you might have a rare disease. You decide to get tested, and suppose that the testing methods for this disease are correct 99 percent of the time (in other words, if you have the disease, it shows that you do with 99 percent probability, and if you don't have the disease, it shows that you do not with 99 percent probability). Suppose this disease is actually quite rare, occurring randomly in the general population in only one of every 10,000 people.

No matter how accurate the test diagnosis is there will still be false positives. Please go away, it's stubborn people like you who never go away that make this disorder so hard to take seriously.

> Stimulants include both methylphenidate (MPH) and amphetamine (AMP) compounds. As a treatment for ADHD, the stimulants have decades of efficacy and safety data from hundreds of randomized controlled trials, beginning in the 1970s. Stimulant efficacy and safety data have expanded from an initial focus on school-age children with ADHD to encompass preschoolers, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. A more limited stimulant literature exists for females and ethnic minorities (Adler, 2009; Biederman & Spencer, 2008; Kratochvil, Greenhill, March, Burke, & Vaughan, 2004; Vaughan & Kratochvil, 2012).
Problem is the ones that are not worth having that ask for the 8h
Do you have any reference for that? You can already technically use whatever you want and wasm will not remove the need for high level languages also having to supply a (multi megabyte) runtime as there is no direct mapping to wasm instructions unlike with C++ or C.
Which IDE do you use with Typescript?
I was interviewed for this article on the General Assembly blog, and it is a direct answer to your question:

How to (successfully) ask for a raise: https://generalassemb.ly/blog/how-to-successfully-ask-for-a-...

In your paragraph that starts with "How can I go about asking for a raise?", I think your plan is very good. Estimate your market value, adjust that market value for the specific value you add to your company (accounting for things like your statement that "...it'd still be cheaper for the company to give me a hefty raise rather than finding someone...") and make that your goal.

List the additional things you're doing to add value to the company since your current salary was set (you've basically already done this in your post here).

Find examples of praise that you've gotten from colleagues. Bundle that all up and there's your case for a raise. I recommend talking to your manager about it (requesting your raise in a 1-on-1), then following up with a written request via email so it can be circulated to the deciders.

That's about the best you can do as far as making a case for a raise. The real question is whether you'll go elsewhere if you determine that you're significantly under-paid and your company can't adjust your salary to reflect the value you add there. And of course that's something you'll have to determine on your own, but looking elsewhere (Google) is a good start.

Good luck!
Code review tooling has been in the works for a long time. It's sadly taking us this long to actually ship the first fundamental bits, but there's a ton that this unlocks for us. Expect to see more soon :).

If I was an evil journal editor I would use the metrics on biorivx to accept or reject papers. This would make it easy to predict the future impact factor and help you game the impact factor of your journal.

Neanderthal 0.5.0 – Getting Started with Fast Matrix in Clojure (CPU and GPU)
I am aware of how to do this on Linux. I do exactly as you subscribe.

But running the /boot on external USB seems to cause more issues than when I merely have /boot partition and a partition with LVM inside LUKS volume on the same physical disk.

I want to know if FreeBSD works that way, as I hear some FreeBSD on FreeBSDTalk and other podcasts say they have made big strides on laptop support (jokes abound with resume/sleep issues) on different laptops, but I am curious how far these improvements go.
> there is clearly a subset of Javascript

I suppose the extra restrictions of Typescript would help. At least if you add extra restrictions to make it easier to compile.
Leaky brake hydraulics aren't anything to mess with, you should fix it or have it fixed soon. It could be something (relatively) harmless like a common hydraulic system shared between the clutch and the brakes (VW uses this design, perhaps others) in which case a failing master/slave cylinder in the clutch could cause the level to drop without compromising the brake system, but even then, soon you will be clutchless. But barring that unusual circumstance, the brake system is compromised and that's dangerous.

Otherwise I agree with what you said, and the best way to tease those details out of a candidate is to have an informal, personal discussion like getting lunch or getting beers together. But that's not enterprise scale.

Depends on your definition. I think under the common meaning of the word, to be a master doesn't mean you're undefeatable, just that you're quite good.
Still only OpenCL 2 support... I have nvidia. I wish I could try it.

I just uploaded three articles in the last two weeks to BioRxiv. The papers were previously just sitting in review. I have already received several emails thanking and informing me that my work is influencing the manuscripts they are writing - more citations. Overall the experience has been an extremely positive experience for me. I don't really see any downsides. So excited for the revolution.
National Institutes of Health provides a lot of the funding for biology and medical research.
I kinda like how Dragonfly does implement dm-crypt such as on Linux (compatible) instead :).
I never thought of my own blog like that, nor did I think of it not like that, it just never occurred to me.

Maybe it's just generality versus specificity. My blog has "programming articles," your blog has "writing," blogs in general have "content" (they might have images or video or who knows what). And just like you wouldn't say "objects" when you could say "people," maybe I wouldn't say "content" when I could say "articles."

And now these words have lost whatever little meaning they had to me!
CNET launches tech-oriented fiction series
I have it set as the notification sound for a friend with whom I exchange text messages very frequently. After we graduated from high school in 1999 we communicated with ICQ almost exclusively for the first couple of years until we switched to MSN Messenger, so it constitutes a form of vestigial nostalgia.

I'm surprised to read of people hating it so much.
I talk with a doctoral candidate in Chemistry regularly about the different paper cultures. It's amazing how different different disciplines are... her accounts of Chemistry is that (I synthesize) they are extremely locked down and research is very much aimed towards granting patents. Knowledge sharing to the broader chemistry community does not appear to be a key goal.

It was a huge shock to me, coming from CS: knowledge sharing has such a high value in our community.
> FreeBSD doesn't have software suspend-to-disk support (and it's almost never implemented by the BIOS).

Linux has spoied me so bad I never noticed the former, and I am shocked by the latter.

Nice to get a response from a completely ignorant BSD and security notice, by the way. :-) I guess I could ego trip and say "how can I trust this user" but I suspect others will chuckle like me.
I took this class IRL with Matloff when I was an undergrad. Highly recommended, great course from a great professor <3
I wonder if this is similar to what spamming companies are using:

"We've seen your contributions to github and think you'd be an excellent fit for our startup ... PS Please move to Paris".
The engine for nvidia is in the works.

But, in the meantime, you can try the native CPU engine. It is as fast as the underlying ATLAS. Almost no overhead.
People who defended them should take note. Complaints can lead to action. Cheering for software companies is as useful as cheering for sports teams.

If you go into defence mode whenever someone complains about your favorite VCS, OS, language, platform, editor, start menu, or whatever then you're probably doing it a disservice unless you're disputing factually incorrect information. Posting work-arounds and minimizing others people's complaints isn't helpful.
The Paradox of Choice in the Digital Age
While this is nice in that it sets the example (and provides publicity to bioarxiv) it's not a couple of Nobel laureates that post one out of dozen(s) of papers/year published that will make the real difference.

The system is aged and inefficient (some would even argue it's rotten) and IMO comprehensive changes are needed. Like racial or gender discrimination can't be addressed without changing the social rules people live by, the current academic system that's rather elitist, non-inclusive, discriminatory, often more biased and less fair than many think needs to change substantially.

Such change will be aided by important people setting examples (and often going back to their old ways). However more substantial change is needed on multiple levels, most importantly: academic leaders and funding agencies (run by the former) need to stop looking at who's who and how many Nature/Science/insert-your-fancy-journal papers does the person have. For instance, the culture of applying for grant money with work that's half done to maximize one's chances needs to stop and so should the over-emphasis of impressive and positive results.

Additionally, publishers exploiting everyone need to die out and as long as these researchers "go rogue" with a single paper (rather than for instance committing to publish 100% preprints and >75% open access), not much will change.
Well, I understand what you mean with void* but as a type, void* is not a supertype of all other types.
What are some cost effective options for rapid prototyping (preferably mostly doing it myself in a shop type environment) in the bay area?
Interacting with the DOM from C++ or Rust via an opaque handle seems relatively straightforward compared to designing one-size-fits-all GC primitives that will enable multiple GCs to seamlessly interact (because remember, you may very well want code written in Go and Python and Javascript all on the same page, and they'll all want to manage the same DOM).
I agree. Search results seem to be limited to 6 and even more problematics is that I find myself at a loss for exactly what to search for. Lots of promise here, but as it is, it's pretty hard to discover new content. Keep it up!
Well it's not really machine code, since no hardware uses wasm as its native instruction set; it's just low level bytecode.

And it's really intended as a compilation target; I don't think anyone wants or expects average web developers to code in wasm.
Given that your comment is well constructed, you seem to be dismissed simply for not having the same point of view. I'll try to engage constructively.

------------------------------

If I read you correctly, you are raising two arguments:

1. what does an individual gains from participating in the project

2. objectively, why homo sapiens?

Regarding 2, I would say that there is not much to say aside from that we are not objective, and would prefer it if it was “us” who got to get to Mars.

I find point 1 much more interesting, especially what it says about society. Some individuals are very interested in the colonization of space, but not all are ready to directly work on it, and others are just uninterested.

However, having a structured government and a tax system allow us to make better use of individual skills, even that of those who are not directly interested in the project. Additionally, this is the kind of project where the ROI would be very long term and hard to estimate. Large scale coordination (governments and international institution) allow to make use of the "surplus workforce" that automatization is slowly making grow.
That will soon not be true. Exposing the js gc is on the roadmap.

...which will also make it feasible to use other gc:ed languages without shipping an enormous runtime.

Chipotle, even after getting hammered in the recent past, has a market cap of 15.5 billion dollars. It's rare, but it's possible.
That button only appears when you add new commits to the existing branch/PR. If you amend any commits and force push, the rewritten commits are lost forever on the GitHub side of things. You can only find them in your local ref-log at that point.

Gerrit instead retains each rewrite of the "same" commit. It does this by requiring you to insert a "Change-Id: ..." footer into each commit message (it provides a repo hook to do this) and examines each incoming commit message to know whether that commit is a revision to a commit it's already seen.

> Go players activate the brain region of vision, and literally think by seeing the board state. A lot of Go study is seeing patterns and shapes... 4-point bend is life, or Ko in the corner, Crane Nest, Tiger Mouth, the Ladder... etc. etc.

> Go has probably been so hard for computers to "solve" not because Go is "harder" than Chess (it is... but I don't think that's the primary reason), but instead because humans brains are innately wired to be better at Go than at Chess. The vision-area of the human's brain is very large, and "hacking" the vision center of the brain to make it think about Go is very effective.
If they're spitting, sure. But the OP seemed to imply that they just thought they would vomit. People have died due to suffocating on vomit with these things on.
The power of the courts is kept in check by the Legislature. They are not above elements of mistrust.

The court is compelling a third party to perform an act that really isn't part of a search and seizure of items.

Search and Seizure as defined by 4A is over and done with. The Prosecution has searched the "places to be searched" and is in possession of the "persons or things to be seized."

Now can it compel Apple to make them useful? (Potentially useful, as even the State has argued there likely isn't really any useful evidence there anyway.. sorta makes this whole thing look like a dog and pony show.)
Depends on the franchise. Subway, for example, is apparently an absolutely brutal franchise to run, whereas Chik-fil-a is super careful about who they give them to.

I believe this is Uber's strategy, no? Basically sell at a loss and force your competitors to follow suite (and lose money even faster) which in turn drives them out of business leaving only Uber as the dominant player in a market.
Are they really? The high failure, high return model has allowed many programmers (and others within VC-backed companies) to have employment that wouldn't otherwise exist. I'm happy to be outside of SV, doing well in a 100% bootstrapped company, but I think VC culture has had the opposite effect of a parasite (or at worst, I'd call it a symbiote)
Dammit, suckered in by the headline. I need a database with metadata for Plex, but other than the image itself, there's nothing here. No blurb, no genre, nada.

Will say that I thought I had it stumped with one radio program, but I typed in the name and it came up.

Is this thing going to have a rest api or something?
Yes, but on a serious note the difference in potential upside between investing in this vs. a traditional restaurant chain is like that between investing in Amazon vs. a traditional book store chain. If you can find a way for the business model to work it is operating in a way where the inventory and distribution are handled in fundamentally different ways than in the past.
Agreed, but for people who have to justify hire/nohire/fire decisions to their bosses or other parts of an organization an objective metric is very useful.
no offense to the author, seems like hyperscript has achieved what it hopes... but the benefits of not having to learn some confusing piece of JSX-ness do not seem to outweigh the cost of h('strong','uglify')-ing everything from a legibility standpoint.

What about Patreon or Blendle?
These are at least two potential solutions right now which have proven effective in similar specific circumstances (though they may not solve the whole problem).

https://patreon.com gives you continuous paying supporters without the Kickstarter cycle (ideally it would be easy for a company to count supporting open source via patreon or equivalents in a way that's nice for accounting/taxes).

https://blendle.nl enables micropayments for articles, with the caveat that they are always refundable if you don't like them. More context: http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/04/a-money-back-guarantee-how-...
You're thinking specifically of winches mounted on trucks, which is a very narrow application of the device. A winch is just a mechanical setup that uses a gearing system to put a large amount of force on a cable or rope in exchange for turning the gears a relatively large number of rotations. They are used all over the place and don't have to be big at all:

But this is already true today with Javascript transpilation and minification. I have been in the unenviable position of needing to reverse-engineer compressed Javascript for which no "readable" source was available, and even with prettifiers the experience is hardly enjoyable.
There was an experiment ("strong mode")[1] of a subset of JavaScript that is way higher level than asm.js but it failed [2].

Uh ... isn't this what Tim Berners-Lee meant when he created the world wide web was that scientists do this exactly? It's like he handed a machine gun to us cavemen scientists 25 years ago and we've been collectively clubbing him in the head with it ever since.
Those are "lifestyle businesses", this is a "startup". They're different, because reasons...
FWIW, someone else in this comment thread said they had interviews at top companies without going to a top school.

So don't necessarily count yourself out immediately. Take what I said with a grain of salt.

However, since they do have lists like that (they being unicorn-type companies, I think) they quite likely do use it as a metric- maybe not necessarily a requirement.

The impressive thing (for me, at least) wasn't the "force to weight" ratio, it was the "traction to weight" ratio.

Tractors, bulldozers, etc., are designed to be HEAVY so they can get traction on loose ground. In fact they're designed so the operator can add weight to them in order to get more traction. That these very lightweight objects can get so much friction was truly amazing.
