I am a remote worker and suffer from chronic procrastination. This is a great article but I believe procrastination is an addiction. At times I feel like a compulsive alcoholic who sneaks off to do fun things all day instead of working. I have procrastinated as a student and my entire career and have always gotten away with it. I've been rewarded with praise of my great work, higher paying positions, and bonuses. I find myself enjoying waiting until the last minute and then using stress to help me succeed. It is a vicious cycle. I want to stop procrastinating but at the same time I like doing it.
Although technically Russia and Norway share a land border, you would have to drive thousands of miles through extremely remote arctic areas, where the major routes are single-lane roads and the nearest settlements may be hours apart. If one is worried about underhanded tactics by the US, this seems quite a dangerous way to go.

How does Ion help with schema evolution? I see it mentioned, but not described.
I'm very happy with it. Like Retina before it, you only really notice it when you don't have it. Very quickly it becomes the 'new normal' and going into settings and switching it off can be a real surprise in many common lighting conditions.

Night Shift is a much bigger effect, and isn't calibrated to your environment, but I like it. I know some people think it's too extreme, and it is noticeable. I'm using it on my 6+ right now and it obvious it's on, but again if I switch it off temporarily the blue-whiteness of the un-shifted display looks horribly sickly. But then the warmer colours work particularly well with the HN colour scheme.
Given that this is FBI procurement, I'm guessing they bought an "Enterprise license" with full support and the opportunity to use the application on any phone that fits the spec just in case because additional procurements would take a long time. Typing this sarcastic comments made me realize that they may have bought this tool for all open cases with this device which actually might've been fairly cost effective, but a bit scarier.
They just need add google ads into Google Now...that's it. Unless you strip the whole framework, you can not possibly block it.

I've been on both sides of the equation, having disagreed with sysadmins about their enforcing of a particular login shell, and having been a sysadmin myself. Not installing fish shell on production systems ("across the farm") is something I'd chalk up to wisdom, not a lack of open-mindedness. I was subtly suggesting that in my choice of positive adjectives.

This. Of value to whom, for what purpose they might have, for a given time.... and given the "value" of currency at any given moment. The price at which a market clears is a reasonable fixing of the value, given all of the variables. Even then the assessment of value isn't the same for either side of a trade: the consumer considers the product to be worth more than the money paid and the producer considers the money worth more than the product: they don't agree on the value of the product. If they do... one or the other is an idiot for making the trade.

A Picasso can sell at a lot of money because not because of the labor put into it, the materials it's made of, etc. It sells for a lot of money because to someone believes it's worth it.

Similarly, the big problem with today's theoritical physics is that physicists are conjouring up stuff like dark energy and dark matter to "fit the gap" between theory and observation without any sound basis for their existence. Much like pre-copernican mathematicians conjoured up complex circular orbits orbiting circular orbits to explain planetary motion.

The west side of the state is nothing compared to the east. The WSP on the east side of the cascades pull people over whenever they need some revenue, regardless of their speed. They are filthy thieves shaking down anybody that looks vulnerable. When I drive to Seattle, you can anticipate seeing the WSP approximately every 20 minutes the entire way across - until you hit the west side of the cascades, in which case you'll only see them occasionally up and down I-5. They are monsters and I'd be fine getting rid of them entirely. They are not making the roadways of Washington any safer and do not represent the values of the people of this state.

Unless you've tested it as a shell script you should be marking it as a recipe for a banana cream pie.

Yes, you need to test to make sure that you wrote the correct things.
The intent of the stored schema isn't really for self-description. A typical use case for Avro is data storage over long periods of time.
It is expected that the schema will evolve at some point during this time. Therefore you still need to specify a target schema to read the data into which is allowed to be different than the stored schema. Avro then maps the stored data into the target schema by using the stored schema. Most avro libraries expect you to get the target schema from a separate source before reading data.
I find that many financial technology companies opt to store currency as strings. The small overhead is typically well worth freedom from floating-point errors.

If dolphins had a human-like facility for language, I imagine some captive dolphins would have figured out (probably through a discussion among themselves) that humans also have language, and that it would be greatly beneficial if they could communicate with humans. With both parties sharing this goal, I don't think it would take long.

On the other hand, I don't suppose human language emerged fully-formed (I don't think there is much evidence for Chomsky's views on this), and these pre- or proto-language skills may provide a lot of insight into its evolution.
Or how life is inspired by art. You have to wonder how much of Le Roux's... antics(?)... were inspired by a desire to be something like a fictional super villain.
EDN supports dates, etc, too.

However, it doesn't support blobs. I'm conflicted about this point. On one hand, small blobs can occasionally be useful to send within a larger payload. On the other hand, small blobs almost always become large blobs, and so I'd rather plan for out-of-band (preferably even content addressable) representations of blobs.
This is offtopic, but I'm looking into having JSON schemas on another Mosquitto topic so that clients can request it, kinda like SOAP's WSDL (recovering C# programmer here).

There are some use cases where record-level self description is very useful. For example when dealing with small records in a database or NoSQL store or message queue that could be written by multiple versions of applications. To cover that case well with Avro where records are not self describing really requires something like a schema registry and embedding a schema id with each record (e.g. http://www.confluent.io/blog/schema-registry-kafka-stream-pr... ).

No it isn't. Just take E105. "Refugees" use that route all the time. It's "straight" route from Moscow to Norway and then take E6 to Oslo.

But Norway is a Nato country so it's a trap. Don't go there.

With current pressure from Russia even neutral counties like Finland would probably gladly extradite Snowden to US.

I wish research would look into high IQ procrastinators because they'd be an outlier to their data. Since the bad consequences tend to miss high IQ people. But according to the article, researchers wouldn't call that procrastination, since the consequences haven't been experienced. Many of the same stressors are experienced between people who complete tasks (I've been calling them high IQ but could be anyone), last minute, and those that miss their deadlines (proc).

I think your 'issue' is similar to mine. We find ourselves unchallenged. Therefore we wait, to increase the challenge. And when we win, the victory is oh so sweet.
Because they don't want you thinking about leaving your computer to go outside. Just like how casinos have no clocks on the walls.

This would instantly and Google in court for anti-competitive practices...and rightfully so. Imagine if Google suddenly said, "we are going to punish any publisher that doesn't use Adsense within organic search listings." Holy cow that would be bad, and the scary part is that Google could easily do this without even announcing it.

BSON is awful.

* It doesn't have "true" types in the sense that Ion does. It's basically just a binary serialization of JSON, with extra stuff.

* Despite being a binary format, it's actually bulkier than JSON in most situations.

* It removes any semblance of canonicity from many representations. A number, for instance, can potentially be represented by any of at least 3 types (double, int32, and int64).

* It has signed 32-bit length limits all over the place. Not that I'd want to be storing 2GB of data in a single JSON document either, but it's not even possible to do so with BSON!

* It requires redundant null bytes in unpredictable places. For instance, all strings must be stored with a trailing null byte, which is included in their length. There's also a trailing null byte at the end of a document for no reason at all.

* It is unabashedly Javascript-specific, containing types like "JavaScript code with scope" which are meaningless to other languages.

* It also contains some MongoDB-specific cruft, such as the "ObjectID" and "timestamp" types (the latter of which, despite its name, cannot actually be used to store time values).

* It contains numerous "deprecated" and "old" features (in version 1.0!) with no guidance as to how implementations should handle them.

Why DCI-P3 and not Adobe RGB? While they're roughly the same gamut size, with P3 having more crimsons and Adobe more aquas, Adobe actually covers most of the CMYK color space, while P3 does not (it is lacking in the aquas, like sRGB), and Adobe has a larger gamut in the highlights (due to its less saturated, and therefore brighter, red primary).

Not to mention the fact that Adobe RGB has long been established (albeit not terribly widely used) in the graphics/photo industry. As another poster mentioned, even Apple couldn't find any P3 images to use as wallpapers, so settled on Adobe RGB ones instead.

What's their goal? Are they aiming for better compatibility with digital cinema?
The untold story of Magic Leap
When optimizing for wattage, SIMD is great for getting stuff done quickly so you can get back to spinning on low-power Pause instructions.

But, if you SIMD-optimize, cheer at how much faster things are, then tell yourself "That means I can squeeze in 4-8x more work in the same time!" Well... You not only eliminated all the Pause time you gained, but you replaced it with high-wattage work.

It takes discipline to optimize for power. Somewhat karmicly, pushing to max out everything can backfire when you overheat the CPU and end up just pushing it into adopting a lower clock rate.
"Anyway, I feel Google will be a much better company if it can get rid of dependence on ads"

Do you feel like the NFL will be a better company once it rids itself of that pesky "football" dependence ?

Will McDonalds finally break free of the hamburger racket and flourish as a company ?

Google isn't some company that just happens to make a bunch of money from ads - they are an advertising company. Period. The end. Online ads stemming from search results is the thing they do.

It sure sounds neat to bootstrap a world-beating conglomerate and dominate all market spheres with your plexes full of big brains, but it's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

They will live and die with the search ads. They will not disrupt the car industry. They will not launch rockets to mars. They will not solve homelessness.
I've disabled search history and Google still tends to give me the most relevant results. Perhaps they also do some customization based on session cookie or something (I know YouTube does for recommendations) and I'm pretty sure IP location still plays a role. But I think it's mainly that I know how to ask Google for what I want, not that Google knows what I want necessarily. I still give DDG and Bing a chance once in a while, just in case, but old habits die hard.
You're correct, and that's the same excuse Ruby and Python advocates use when developers complain about performance. Frankly, it's bullshit.

Take Rails as an example. In 2006 we were told that Ruby's slowness didn't matter since web apps spend most of the time waiting for IO, processors were getting faster, yada yada yada.

Guess what? 10 years later and Rails is still slow. Django is also slow. Template rendering is slow. I've written enough Erlang, Clojure and OCaml apps to know that no, I don't need "russian doll caching" in a fast language. Hell, I rarely need caching at all. My database layer is fast enough. /rant

Management has wide-ranging freedom to define what they see as the best course of action and nothing short of fraud is actionable in a court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_judgment_rule.

In this case, the obvious defense would be that for a company such as Apple, the fees they charge the government for access are completely meaningless, compared to the damage the brand could suffer if they're found violating their user's privacy.

At 25$ each as mentioned above, these fees probably don't even cover the costs of having a lawyer take a quick look at it.

Ask HN: What value is there in downvoting on HN?
I don't see the value in downvoting on HN at all. Users with the ability to downvote will downvote comments they disagree with rather than comments that don't add to the conversation, and since downvoting drives users away, the ones that are left are cold, unfeeling, and happy to live in their bubbles while attempting to isolate everyone else from things they disagree with.
What this leaves out is that not all Ph.D. programs are equal. If you are good enough in your field to get accepted into one of the Top 10 graduate programs, you're going to have a great chance of getting a high-quality job when you graduate, assuming you do well. If not, then you're chopped liver.

Those top 10 programs can probably fulfill most of the faculty openings in any given field, nationwide, with enough graduates left over to fill all of the needs of private industry and government labs as well. There is just no reason for recruiters to look further down-list.

I have friends who have taken faculty positions at PhD granting programs ranked 20th or so in the country. They have reported back that their grad students are, um, underwhelming, and they end up doing a lot of their own research hands-on.

Also many people who program in Python 2.7 already use the new syntax without even realizing it.
