Yes, but your (or y'all's) collective decision that you prefer safety to freedom shouldn't infringe upon my choice to prefer freedom to safety.
Z is designed to loop through its 7918 instructions forever, but if it did eventually stop, it would prove ZFC inconsistent. Mathematicians wouldn’t be too panicked, though – they could simply shift to a slightly stronger set of axioms.

Am I correct in thinking that this is completely wrong? Strengthening a set of inconsistent axioms -- taking a "stronger" set of axioms to be a set of axioms that can prove more statements -- will just produce another inconsistent set of axioms. (The inconsistent set <A, B->~A, B> cannot be salvaged by extending it to <A, B->~A, B, C> -- no matter what C is, you can always derive <A, ~A> from the original three axioms.)

Incompleteness is a whole other thing, of course.
John Stewart's Unfiltered Interview with Axelrod [video]
I've left my LinkedIn profile open for this very reason.

It's also given me another axis on the graph. I'll routinely get email from a recruiter about a position, which I'll ignore because I'm either happy where I am, the job isn't a total fit, or you see the typical signals that their comp is out of whack.

Then, a week or two later, I'll get another email about the same job from a different recruiter. Now I know the target company is having some trouble. Are they flailing about? Are they using multiple recruiters for some reason? Pay too low? Hiring criteria impossibly high? Is the place a black hole for developers?

Now I have more information to work with.
This is awesomely clever. Not surprised to see from the Fastly team.
it's been so long, why are there typos in it?!
Sydney certainly didn't seem like a 'metropolis' when I was there :) But seriously, Australia in general has poor internet bandwidth, by dint of its limited transoceanic cables, so I thought it was a fair comparison!
What is awful about that one is that they even skip microcode updates.
The red herring in the original comment is that Electron apps can't be multithreaded. They absolutely can be - through web workers, child processes and more. They can also fall back to calling native components for CPU intensive tasks.

Just because Electron is used in a technology stack doesn't automatically mean that the developers are going to be lazy.

Lazy devs be lazy, bro.
> is that if a company is hiring a recruiter they are

Perhaps. It doesn't cost a company anything to engage a recruiter if they don't place any of the candidates.
1. Get quality sleep, if I don't sleep well, my mind is foggy all day, and I'm just going through the motions. 7-9 hours is key for me depending on the night.
2. Wake up a little earlier than you need to be up. This way you won't be rushing to start your day, and you'll feel a less stressed.
3. Write down/be aware of your goals. Break them into small achievable tasks, this way you aren't overwhelmed, but you're constantly working towards them.
4. Block your schedule for what you want to achieve, this way you do that specific thing, instead of trying to do 10 things, and focus on what that block is for.
5. Look at things with prospective, you've only have so much time on this earth. This is tough and my own view changed with a near death experience, although I'd avoid that one...ha!
Nest Introduces OpenThread – open source IoT protocol
Isn't Sunday family day, culturally? At least when I visited last year, businesses were closed and there were many more families outside walking/biking/etc than on Saturday.

You'd have to pay me to use the power, too, if I would rather be outside in this perfect weather.
A very brief google/wiki-dive for "literacy in Europe" and "personal computer", and then mostly guesswork.

It's a pretty Eurocentric approach, and probably rather inaccurate, but I suspect that you could find a dozen examples of bans on learning to read and write on any given continent in the past thousand years alone. (I was really more torn about what year to choose for typing; a case could be made for anywhere from the late 1800's after the invention of the typewriter, all the way to the 1990s, when I first had to deal with a mandatory typing class in high school.)

I'm less concerned about the logo than the app redesign. Sure, the logo seems to be vying for attention, but it's understandable given how connected time-in-app is to ad revenue. I'm not expert but I think simply flattening the logo would have better preserved brand identity.

With the app redesign, why were the messages not moved to the bottom of the screen like all the other icons? The new layout also looks more conducive to Facebook's "newsfeed" approach--I realize they'll no longer be showing photos in chronological order, but that's part of what was so useful about the application! I could hop on after being in the wilderness for a week and see what my friends have been up to! Is it really impossible to monetize without using an algorithm to "optimize" what to show users?

I still think the main missing feature is the ability to group the people you follow. Why can't I have categories like "Nature", "Friends and Family", "Furniture", "Local Artists", etc.

I'd be so happy if I could just generate a RSS feed based on a list of usernames.

Not really. Keynes prescribed fiscal stimulus. We are currently engaged in a very large experiment on the limits of monetary stimulus.
My stance is that I have that right. So do others.

I made an argument that from a systemic standpoint, it's better to make illegal and never prosecute than it is to create a governmental machine around it.

Please understand, I'm perfectly happy with it being legal. I'm simply trying to describe why there's a strong case for it remaining illegal (and un-prosecuted)

You realize that we're not talking about people freely deciding what to do with themselves, right? What we're talking about is a bunch of new laws, committees, and processes where a person's life can be terminated, sometimes directly by the state. I'd think this is a much worse situation than simply having officials look the other way.

If we were talking about removing all laws around what folks do with their lives, that'd be a different thing entirely. That's where we should be. But nobody is talking about that.
No, they are magic: arbitrary hardware designs run without the cost of chip fabrication. Two non-profit FPGA's, one for performance at 28nm & one for embedded at 28SLPnm, would totally address the custom hardware and subversion problem given we could just keep checking on that one. The PPC cores and soon Intel Xeons already show what a good CPU plus FPGA accleration w/ local memory can do for applications.

Yeah, buddy, they're like magic hardware. Even if they aren't ASIC-competitive for the best ASIC's. Still magic with a market share and diverse applications that shows it. :)

So great to see entrepreneurs and engineers with vision take on the stodgy, stone-age California High Speed Rail Authority.

2024: "Please don't learn to bioreact."

I'm assuming that there will be some short-hand verb for messing about with genetic organisms, and/or for home-synthesis of biological compounds. "Please don't learn to modify genomes" or "Please don't learn to synthesize chemical compounds" didn't feel pithy enough.
So I have just updated WebStorm. The "About" dialog now says:

WebStorm 11.0.4
Build #WS-143.2370, built on April 29, 2016

"Check for Update" tells me I have the latest version.

However the FAQ (http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2016/05/11/security-update-fo...) says:

"All updates published after May 10th contain the security update."

Which would mean that a version built "April 29, 2016" is vulnerable?

Also the linked download page (https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/Previous+WebStor...) says:

"Latest version: WebStorm 11.0.5 (build 143.2370, May, 11 2016)"

That is, the version number and date are different from what I have, but the build number is the same?!

Maybe it's too late in the day for me to think straight, but somethings wrong here. What product versions are safe?
I completely agree. I've said it before, pay-for open access (aka. "gold open access") needs to go die in a fire.
"Please don't learn."
Is it? Those all seem like pretty reasonable types of error. Ultimately they have to have contributed to the death of a patient to be included. If one of those things contributed to someone's death, I don't think i'd hesitate to call that a 'medical error'.
I think that's a good point. JavaScript with Node is arguably worse than Rails for exactly that reason.
Oh yes, I really wished it were true.

We're working in a small satellite institute, and we don't have direct access to an university-level subscription.

There are some (single) journals we subscribe to, but for most of the articles we have no other option than to pay per-article. Doing background research this way is incredibly frustrating, incredibly time-consuming and you have to decide whether a paper is worth investing to just by looking at the abstract. Doing a literature review is hell.

So what we do, like everybody does, is to ask the authors privately, and copy articles whenever we can. Or ask colleagues that have access through an university subscription.

I actually don't mind for the "pay for open-access" model. On all the articles we published, we always picked this option if available. In the scheme of things, the cost of publishing is minor. In several fields (genetics), it's not even a blip on the running costs of a lab. I don't mind paying for journals that actually do a reasonable selection and review on the articles. Some journals are worth the cost of publishing.

Unfortunately, this is not as widespread as it should.
Keep copying guys... nothing new here.
Meanwhile many use BitBucket free private repos for years and are very happy about it.
You need to decide what kind of environment you want at work. Is it an environment that builds bridges and helps people work together? Or is it an environment that promotes fear of speaking with members of the opposite sex at all?

I don't believe making people scared to talk to women at all does anything good for diversity. Companies with good diversity financially outperform companies that lack it. So trying to find a way to help diverse people work together is in the best interest of the company. It is not some do-gooder, pie in the sky thing. It is a practical approach to trying to build a successful company.

The histrionic responses here by people terrified to talk to a woman, terrified of offending a woman, etc are rooted in the current unhealthy culture. Your employees will come from that culture. You are unlikely to get any employees at all that are entirely unmarred by the larger culture.

Thus, male or female, your employees are likely to be in need of some education as to how to work effectively with members of the opposite sex.

I do not entirely agree that "It happened away from work, so it is not work related." But I have work of my own to do today and this discussion has already taken far more of my time than I expected it to.
While this is nifty idea, the execution is a bit off. More troubling is the shocking misrepresentation of much of the data.

The bizarre thing about this post is that it attacks Patio11's post which emphasized consulting with a lawyer (and predicted that the result of that consultation would be firing the biz dev guy for cause, but emphasized that the consultation was important), rather than any of the many comments that recommended the action that Patio11 predicted that a lawyer would recommend, without advising consulting with an expert in the applicable area first.

This is bizarre, because her objection does not seem to be with the idea of consulting with a relevant expert and being guided by their opinion, but with firing without doing so, which isn't what Patio11 recommended. From other things in the post, its clear that the real issue is that the poster has a personal animus for Patio11 because of some ancient personal drama the two apparently had on HN in the past, and her perception that that interaction resulted in the eruption of negative treatment of her by others in the HN community. And, it really seems like she is mistargeting Patio11's response as a pretext to resurrect drama over that and, simultaneously, make some vague implications about gender dynamics at HN based on Patio11 being a high-karma-rank male poster and her being a high-karma-rank female poster and the relation that has with the old drama.

Any remote roles available?

I'm an American, currently in the UK time-zone. These JavaScript roles would be ideal if I could work remotely.
Devil's advocate: I think the argument is that the damage of the disease is disproportional to the people exposed, because the increased pairs of interactions are what can make it spread fast.

So doubling the number of people congregated in Rio won't just double the danger, but quadruple it. If car accidents obeyed a similar dynamic -- where they increase (much) more than proportionally to the number of vehicle-miles driven, we should be similarly more cautious about additional drivers.
Not to be too snarky, but we have more than a couple thousand users these days. You can round up any given thousand users and they will all give you different answers as to what "making a good browser" means.
If Zika is similar to dengue, then only some people get those symptoms. Other people just feel something like they have influenza without the sneezes and the runny nose.

Those diseases spread easily precisely because many people have it and don't stay home with mosquito net and repellents. They just go on with their lives, transmitting the disease to other people who may be more vulnerable and have worse symptoms.
Thankfully I haven't had many reasons to enter a U.S. hospital, but the few interactions I had were extremely worrisome.

For example, when my grandmother fell ill, my family spent a lot of time visiting her. My mother, in particular, spent many days and nights there, and her biggest complaint was the complete lack of communication between shifts.

Every few hours, someone new would come into the room, read my grandmother's charts, wake my grandmother up, and ultimately misinterpret several important details. Thankfully my mother was often there to correct them and fill them in on what previous nurses/doctors had already done, but the net result was that my grandmother barely got any rest (being constantly woken for no apparent reason) and, had my mother not been there, a nurse or doctor could easily have made a critical mistake when continuing her treatment.

Another example, still the same grandmother. Even though her original condition improved (after having been rushed to a different hospital), she ended up going home with an entirely new infection which resulted in several more weeks of sickness and eventual recovery. The infection (C. Diff) is one of the leading Hospital-acquired infections and is in many cases totally preventable. It's hard to believe how many people die each year due to infections they pick up in hospitals.

Marginal return. Include infrastructure investments required to build it all, and they're all probably still deep in the red?
Better text editors (at the time especially) were complicated learning projects themselves. Having a brain-dead editor with a couple buttons that just works (even if editing is not extra powerful) is a feature in the design case - total n00bs learning.

When new folks show up at the local makerspace the most common thing we encounter are people with no electronics and no coding experience. Their computer experience has been fairly non-technical up to then. Getting them up to speed on blinking a light already requires and intro to electronics and an intro to coding, kind of overwhelming for them to begin with. Requiring a "deep IT" dive to have extra editor-fu and installing toolchains etc would probably be too much, and we'd never get repeats.

Also worth noting: Arduino didn't invent their own IDE. They used an existing one - the same one that Processing uses. It's the wiring IDE/editor, so it was around prior to Arduino.

I think recruiters can be great, but don't put too much stock into this point. Recruiters are similar to realtors- yes, they get more if you get more, but they would rather close the deal then to risk no deal at all over a few more thousand dollars.
Historically, working hours are decreased with increase of productivity. 10-16 hours working days 6 days a week was common just few centuries ago.

Are You the Family Tech Support?
I'm not certain you understood my question, or perhaps I misunderstood your statement.

It seems to me that you're saying a small minority of people will work as entertainers (and presumably get paid for doing so) while another small minority fulfills critical functions that can't be automated, and the majority sits back to be entertained.

What I'm not clear on is where the money comes from to pay the entertainers and the critical maintainers, if the majority aren't working. The money can't come from the masses, because the masses aren't employed. Are you suggesting that in this scenario, it's a post-scarcity society, money is never transferred at all, and that's why it works?

> one that does not achieve its intended outcome

I struggle to see how there are any deaths inside a hospital that don't fall into this category. E.g. a cancer patient on chemo therapy who doesn't make it would seem to qualify.

Realistically I assume this means that they count whatever they want as medical error, with no good rules.

Straw-man. Or possibly framing the original argument stereotypically/in bad-faith.

Concluding you only have one side of the story, is not the same as, nor necessitates ignoring it. One alternative is getting the other side of the story.

I also find the phrasing "because women can be unreasonable" to be suspicious - there is no reason to put it this way rather than "people can be unreasonable"; OP made no claim that only women should be treated with skepticism.

- are you trying to invoke the historical meme of women being dismissed as irrational?
