No, I can’t.

As long as Google forbids OEMs from producing both FireOS and Google Android devices, I can’t buy a CyanogenMod device from Motorola, or similar.

And no, I don’t think Google should be able to hardcode any of their services into Android – instead each service should be provided via a standardized API, so users can select defaults (like it already is done with many apps on Android).
Building muscle can burn crazy calories though. It's quite common for normal men (I'm not talking about pro athletes, just ordinary guys) on strength training programs to add 500-1000 calories/day to their diet, and not gain fat. I wish the article would have mentioned this, because it only seems to talk about cardio exercise, which indeed makes it difficult to burn a lot of calories.
What if that built-in process is counter productive, obsolete, or doesn't have the value you really thought it did anymore, like that of many college degrees? Mindless adherence to group think and legacy processes in the long run is a recipe for disaster.
In the examples the article this shows this will not help, as the overflow is in indirect addressing, not add instructions. I'm not a microcode expert but I guess arithmetic instructions, even without a jo, are not as efficient as indirect addressing, so we can't switch to arithmetic instructions with jo.

You are right. I cannot delete my comments now, and they don't add anything to this discussion. Can you delete them? Thanks.
Arithmetic still happens a lot in programs, and especially so in tight loops (most tight loops will be filled with arithmetic, rather than anything else), even if it doesn't happen as the loop counters.

You are correct that Rust does bounds checks in release mode, but fortunately there's no extra bounds checks needed:

- all indexing is done with unsigned values, and,

- even if signed values were used, the '< 0' comparison is still not necessary because one can first cast to unsigned (a noop) and then do a single '< length' comparison: negative values will be huge, at least as large as MEMORY_SPACE/2, which is in fact the limit on array lengths in Rust[1].

I sometimes work with remote designers, so I needed something that is flexible and fast to create.

Rather than trying to spend hours using Gimp or Photoshop ( I have been down that road), this is what I do as its much faster to translate whats in my mind to something a designer can use.

Get a sketch pad ( blank pages no lines ), I bought mine at a local pharmacy.

Get a good mechanical pencil, they sell good ones for drafting, also get a good erasure that is different from the pencil.

Get yourself a good ruler, it you want to draw to scale get an architectural ruler not an engineering ruler ( scale is for land etc so its too big ) if you do not need to draw to scale, get a metal ruler with the cork underside to prevent slipping on the paper.

Get yourself a plastic stencil of different shapes. Many of these are used for flow charts or electric circuits, but find one that has the shapes you want.

Draw out your proof of concepts on paper using your rulers and stencils.

Label your drawing.

Finally just take a picture with your phone and send it to the designer.

It you have to make a change, its super simple to erase something and make an adjustment.
I found the second especially interesting as it shows the system as scale.

You are right that making it clear the lack of affiliation is a positive step towards reducing confusion.

However there are some weaknesses in the solution (and reasons therefore why a brand owner would continue to pursue). When it comes down to it, the trade mark itself is still problematic, and there will still be cases where the trade mark is used in the absence of the disclaimer. Also, as a brand owner I don't want to have to continue to monitor the third party user just to make sure they continue to use the disclaimer.

Also, in addition to the confusion argument, there is also the argument that absent confusion, the third party is essentially looking to free-ride on the goodwill of the brand owner. That cause of action doesn't require confusion to be proved.

It's really down to Instagram and how they want to play it. Having a settlement agreement obliging Littergram to include the disclaimer in various places at all times may be sufficient. But the fact is, Instagram hold quite a strong hand and don't need to settle for just disclaimer, nor for the above reasons would that be advisable.

There's a disturbing trend emerging that I really don't like, and it's not the conventional "autistic people will not make good workers" argument. In fact, it's something of an inverse: the expectation that every autistic person you hire is going to be an idiot-savant that will have unparalleled focus and attention to detail once you hire them.

Autistic people are still people. They make mistakes. They're not robots. I'm glad we've moved away from blacklisting them, but we're getting to the point of fetishizing them instead. Both directions are still dehumanizing.
Maybe filtering out people who won't play the game is better for both sides. After all, the company will be asking you to do other things you disagree with. Getting things done often means compromising on stuff that doesn't matter in order to do the stuff that does. It's an important job skill.

This is a clearer signal than "cultural fit" (whatever that means).

Perhaps we could have a new addressing mode that is the same as normal indirect but falls through and sets o if some part of it overflows. Then you'd do mov, jo which could then be fused. But I don't really know what I'm talking about.
I went from 190 lbs. to 138 lbs. over 6 or 7 months. The only exercise I did was jogging for 45 min a day. What I noticed was that jogging made me feel better, which somehow got me to consistently eat better. After a days jogging I didn't want to put crap food in me and ruin what I had accomplished and by doing it everyday I felt good enough, often enough to stick with it.

So, based on my experience, I simply can not agree.
You are certainly correct about one thing: "not all exercise is created equal".

In fact, the muscle-building type of exercise (lifting) is hilariously bad at burning any kind of energy. Here is a rough estimate:

>GDP attempts to measure the “use” economy, i.e., the value of finished goods and services ready to be used by consumers, business and government. GDP is similar to the “bottom line” (earnings) of an accounting statement, which determined the “value added” or the value of final use.

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

I would agree that GDP is not really a measure of useful economic activity. But if that is so, the question begs, what practical use is the metric of GDP in the first place?

I agree with you 100%.

Tbh I think there are two kinds of autism. 'Real' autism, like your brother has, or people who cannot speak, etc. This kind seems to be much rarer, but a tragedy for everyone involved. I read an article (linked here on HN but I can't find it anymore) about someone taking care of such an autistic person and it is heartbreaking.

The other kind I would call 'newest fad' autism that people who are a bit socially awkward label themselves with, and pride themselves with their 'beautiful mind' and their intelligence. Bonus points: They don't have to improve themselves and their social skills because it's a mental health thing and out of their control.

The catalogues of mental disorders (like DSM) say a lot about a society.

Anecdotal evidence from being a gym rat for 20 years, although I'm sure there are studies out there to prove this. Maybe :)

No doubt that diet+exercise is the way to go when it comes to long-term weight management.
The thing is, "weight loss" in and of itself is a misleading metric. You're losing weight! Great! But hold on a minute - your gut is the same size but your biceps is smaller and your strength is way down. What happened? You lost weight alright but its muscle you're losing, not fat.

So where I'm going with this is exercise is very important to make sure you don't negatively impact your body composition by losing muscle weight when dieting.

It's sad to read this, and I am sorry for you.
It makes intuitive sense that there's a bias towards mild autism/Aspergers in high-skill computer scientists.

Most would probably say that their "education" began long before any kind of formal schooling in the topic. It takes a certain kind of child to stay inside and poke at computers all day instead of going outside and doing something social. And in general, the hyper-focus of mild autism is exactly the kind of thing that drives people to become highly proficient in a technical topic.

And on the flip side, severe autism is a nightmare. Although modern society doesn't really do them any favors - historically there were lots of repetitive tasks that needed doing, a person with fairly severe autism could be perfectly fine working in a bakery or blacksmithing or something. Nowadays we really have two kinds of jobs - high skilled, for which we expect people to sit through a lot of formal education, and service jobs, which are highly social jobs usually involving "emotional labor". Neither of those is very suitable for someone with severe autism.

"In Soviet Russia..."
It's an interesting categorization. I'd be in both categories given various activities. Yet, I disagree with category 1 as it seems like an accidental strawman. There's certainly those types of people literally. There's more of us, though, that see insecurity baked into almost everything we depend on even as a country. The state of the grid, banks, increasingly important mobile OS's, infrastructure protocols... you name it... has been shit for way too long. Unnecessarily so. You alluded to that with your DNSSEC example.

So, on top of engineering challenge, there's the need to fight for a greater baseline across the board. I'm just for doing it a different way than in OP where they call the dev's idiots. ;) More along the lines of convincing management to adopt whatever practices add great improvements to quality and security with little extra cost. Quite a few exist. The value is lower liability, more predictable schedules due to reduced debugging, quality/uptime differentiator vs competition, and possibility of charging extra for that.

Enough promotion of better-by-default in key areas will improve our baseline over time. There's actually been a lot of progress vs where we were in 90's. So, it's at least working a little. DARPA and NSF are also steadily funding strong stuff in variety of areas that has legacy compatibility where possible. More potential to push strong stuff in the future.

Both issues have been resolved in Ethereum, an alternative cryptocurrency with a market cap second only to Bitcoin itself.

So, it can be said that cryptocurrencies indeed solve many problems. What can't be said is which cryptocurrency will be the one that ends being used as cash in the long term.

Ask HN: What is the best non-technical skill I could develop?
(Using a throwaway because my boss might be reading this)

Peter Drucker says that it's a waste of time to develop skills in an area you don't have strengths in. I don't have particular technical skills. I can code a bit of hello world here and there, but I generally struggle with it. Also, I don't take much pleasure in it.

I'm extroverted, I can pitch, I can sell, I can market, but only the things that I believe in. I'm good with people and outreach, not with networking.

As a technical reader, what are some non-technical skills that you'd appreciate your co-founder, work buddy or freelance consultant would have and could help you out with?

The question is for both now and the future, as I want to invest in myself to develop and master a skill for good.
If you want a job at Rackspace, a huge proportion of your result, assuming you are ok competent, would be to completely embody FANATICAL SUPPORT, for whatever role you are doing, I don't care if it is technical or product or marketing or sales or legal or operations.

Basically, what it means is that you will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to satisfy the needs of WHOEVER happens to be your customer. Most times "your customer" is a real customer, but you also have internal "customers" (for example, the legal team's customers are mostly internal).

Look at this page and internalize it.

https://www.rackspace.com/talent/culture/

A lot of the "culture" component tends to also be kind of cheesy, but I think that it is a sub-thread of Rackspace that is not necessarily part of the culture but perpetuated by HR. I have been told that during their "onboarding week" (yeah, it can take 3 days for the onboarding), people are encouraged to be silly and wear silly hats. Not everybody is up for that, but many are.

So for you, being in an ops position, be able to know what that is. They are not asking you to draw a Picasso. They are gauging whether you know what FANATICAL SUPPORT means for your role and whether you have even thought about it.
Not for me. I may have stopped working out for long periods, since then, but the 6-7 months of diet change stuck which was enough to maintain the weight loss (approximatley). 14 years now.

The F-4 was not a joint project in any way. It was a Navy funded aircraft that was later adopted by the Marines and Air Force.

Similarly, the A-12 was also a Navy program, not a joint project. The Air Force considered buying it (had it been funded to completion by the Navy) as a replacement for the F-111, but this consideration was largely superficial, and they had little to no input into it's design.
When I get calls/emails/social media pings from recruiters, hiring managers, CTOs, etc...all wanting "a few moments of my time" - I tend to be highly selective. I'll routinely get 6-10 requests in one day, and even a quick 30 min chat is a huge time sinkhole when there's multiples waiting for a response.

My time is more valuable to me than theirs. They jump through my hoops.
> or in those rare times when the hiring market favors candidates

Which is... right now. I think this strategy could absolutely pay off. And your objection seems to be that if you say these things then the company isn't going to hire you - that's the point. It isn't a negotiation tactic, it's "I am taking this interview procedure as a reflection of the company as a whole and that gives me sincere reservations as to whether I'll be a good fit".

No, I wouldn't recommend this when you're fresh out of college. But many experienced developers absolutely do not know their worth - you shouldn't have to go through that crap when your resume clearly states you are capable.
> I appreciate the effort put into wording that nicely, but really all you're saying is, "Company, you need me more than I need you, and I expect YOU to jump through MY hoops." This is only true when you're a one-in-a-million talent. It's not going to work for the other 999,999 people.

No it is not. I have a job. I'm too busy taking time out of my day to explain concepts that I barely use and not going to be using at employer who is asking them. That is the broken part. They are passing up on good hires with irrelevant crap because some them don't have the time.

> Why bother with this kook when there's a line of people outside eager to have a shot.

Because the kook that refuses to explain merge sort might be better at the job than the guy who desperatly jumps through hoops.
