No meth or heroin for the last many years. I never liked either much anyway. I've referring mostly to psychedelic drugs and marijuana, which normally are considered soft, but I've consumed them to a degree that would probably shock most people.
Prioritization is based on a few things (customer demand, trends in the market in general). Besides prioritization, there is a resourcing component too (the server is split into several teams with specific expertise).

In general I would say that we like to understand the use case more than the feature :) If the workaround viability is low, the priority goes up.

This mentions ubuntu 7.10, so must be from early 2008 - still very educational and interesting, but probably worth mentioning the age, since x86_64 has become ubiquitous, kvm / bhyve / xhyve have appeared, EFI, virtio, directly booted kernels, other stuff I'm sure ...
Not if it's hypervisor-based monitoring with IO mediation. This is still a weak defence. Stronger model is kernel integrity + syscall restriction + MAC or capability protection for usage details.
> Bandwidth is dirt cheap outside of the Cloud

Enterprise level network equipment and infrastructure are extremely expensive. Unusually cheap BW rate usually means cheap equipment or over-subscription or not enough qualified support personnel. And in some cases under-selling to get penetration to a market.

The reason Google Fiber can sell cheaply because (AFAIK), in almost every town or cities that they deployed their network they negotiated special deals with municipalities or equivalent entity to get free access to existing infrastructure or get special deals. There is a reason why Google Fibre is not everywhere or they are not pushing it very aggressively. Because building networks are freaking expensive even for google.

BW may not have any value but building the network and maintaining it to serve you BW is expensive. Your BW cost is a reflection of the cost of your network.

Contrary to what the article says, PyVarObject is still PyObject at the same time and PyVarObjects have nothing to do with mutability (certainly, it's trivialy obvious that not all PyVarObjects are mutable as immutable tuples are PyVarObjects, while mutable lists are not)

The thing that is handled by PyVarObject are types whose instances can differ in their size, with tuple and bytes objects being probably most common cases when it is used.

Show HN: What do you think of my Mongo Logs Utility?
According to the 2010 Census only 3% of Americans receiving spousal benefits were men. This is after splitting the estate "equitably".

So I really don't understand what you mean by economic consequences are generally worse for women? 97% of the time it's the man's wages being garnished.
The original poster also didn't really say anything about pay inequality. Just, that women ancestors were financially independent.

Also

> Also add that all of my female ancestors from 1900 onward held good jobs and were largely financially independent (which contradicts the article saying it didn't really happen before 1975).

So rustynails may have trend data for at least the women in their family. And all of them had good jobs and were financially independent? Another data point, is those 80s lego ads featuring girls with their creations. So maybe there is something going on here and society as gone off the rails regarding sexism.

If I were speaking as a manager, I would have already done something about the issue.

But no, I'm talking about people that I have worked with, but not managed.

And these aren't 'dysfunctional' teams by any objective measure. These teams were formed from reasonably competent individuals, typically turned in their work on time, and had comfortable social dynamics.

Yet on the rare occasion that a problem cropped up.... ah we didn't always take the best approach to problem solving.

----

There's a story I heard about firefighters. They did a study on veterans to find out how people operated under pressure. The researchers thought in the face of a burning building, surely the fire-fighters wouldn't be able to do an in depth search of all possible solutions, so they'd just compare the top-two that they thought of.

Seems reasonable.

In reality, the they just went with the very first solution that they didn't imagine had fatal errors.

That's how people are... under pressure, we go with the first thing that might possibly work, not the best thing. That's why we need to think about problem solving techniques, before problems actually occur.
Indeed, keep going, and you may reach this level of awesome:

Can you give some links where feminists support men? Feminists are concerned with women, the MRM is concerned with men, so the majority of their arguments will be focused on their respective gender.

The negation of "attacking women" isn't "supporting women", it's "not attacking women". Not saying anything at all about women is "not attacking women", but it's not "supporting women".
That's my take as well. It's bad enough companies make legitimate but lazy mistakes like filing DMCA strikes against works with the same name as something they own. But it seems like the absolute minimum you ought to do is make sure beyond a doubt you own what you claim to own.
I'm not sure of the specifics, but in the US personal bankruptcy didn't exist in its present form until 1978.

It's very likely, that it was incredibly difficult to file for bankruptcy in the era of company towns in the US---i.e. 1880 (first bankruptcy bill was filed in 1889) through 1934.

Slavery is a good place to start, it is claimed that there are more slaves in the world now than every in human history, for example see - ‘Sea Slaves’: The Human Misery That Feeds Pets and Livestock [1]

In 2015 the UK passed the Modern Slavery Act [2] which gave the biggest companies (turnover £36m+) a legal responsibility and sets out a set of punishments and reparations if they fail to address slavery in their supply chains.

The Supply Chain managers of the future are having CSR drilled into them now as part of their education (I know, I'm part of it). We must hope they are not crushed by the wheels of the corporate machines.

I do let Firefox let the pages choose their own fonts.

The page as it is is completely impossible for me to read. Even if I have Firefox magnify the page, the combination of the fonts and the black background means that I can't see the characters. Magnifying via Firefox doesn't help. A magnifying
glass doesn't help.

I can't read those fonts on that background. Literally, absolutely, positively, I
can't read the characters.
With those fonts on that black
background, there just is not
enough contrast for me to read
the characters at all. Can't
read the page. I want to be clear: Literally I can't read
the page. Am I being clear
enough? Still, I can't read
the page.

I don't want to be obscure. The fact is, I can't read the
page.

To read the text, I'd have to capture it on the clipboard and move it to my favorite editor, but in that case I'd lose the links unless I inserted them by hand.

I have a nice, bright CRT, 14", with 1024 x 768 pixels.

I'm not joking -- to me the page is impossible to read. Not joking. I couldn't read the page. I gave up on reading the page.

The three simple, little changes
I suggested would make the
page plenty easy for me
to read.
It's worth noting this will help you greatly with your ability to use C, but it will not be immediately useful if your goal is learning to use C within the context of Unix-like systems. That is, you won't have access to a significant portion of the libraries most people expect. This will teach you how those libraries - and the system software/OS itself - are built.
Related thoughts specifically concerning ransomware (controlling write access):

Operating systems with a GUI typically have file associations bound to executables. One could use that knowledge to restrict write access (or even read access), or at least use this fact; "application with no file associations does file I/O." Excluding known system executables, etc.

So if applied more strictly, an application that wasn't associated with .JPG or .JPEG couldn't write to those files, or perhaps not even read from them.

As for restricting read access, my first thought goes to browsers that may not be associated with every file type you want to upload/attach, but that could be a dialog between you and the system as it happens (allow it once/now/session, for N days, forever, etc).

You can see when a company has built a stellar product when they can sustain return customers even without discounts and payback offers. See Amazon's rivals, in India atleast, Flipkart and snapdeal are biting the dust, and Amazon doesn't even give any special offers to the customer. They have perfected the thing they must do well to succeed in their business: fast delivery and returns. Amazon is the flagship bearer in e-commerce and is doing a good job advancing state of the art in this segment of human endeavour.

We probably disagree, but to me "code is shit" and "the company started expanding and their code base started falling apart at the seams" is a far cry from "can't code their way out of a wet paper bag".

To me, that puts them squarely in the middle of "can't code their way out of a wet paper bag" and "good engineer I would trust to design my systems".

I have a PhD in physics, though not particle physics. QFT was required, since the methods appear all over in condensed matter physics.

Unfortunately, there is no real shortcut to being able to understand those terms except by studying one of the standard texts. And, physics being what it is, you can expect a pretty hard slog because the texts will assume you know first quantization back and forth. Add to that, it's not just QFT but the domain-specific standard model knowledge.

Dealing with QM requires PDEs, linear algebra, a fair bit of applied analysis (real and complex). Dealing with QFT requires that, plus learning a bunch of new techniques with the typical hand-wavy rigor of physics. (Hand-wavy compared to math.)

If you want to get a feel of the Standard Model without knowing QFT, the text I used when I took senior-level particle physics is great: Introduction to Elementa Particles, by David Griffiths. (He's an excellent writer, btw; I recommend any of his physics books).

As for the standard texts for particle physics, I'm afraid I've been out of the loop for too long to remember what books were used.

Only if it's an effective and accessible protection.

Amazon is not in direct competition with those companies. Amazon bottom feeds on new grad hires, people with restrictive visas, and interns. Their 90th percentile pay for developers is going to be about $120k per year with maybe a $150k total comp target. They may hire a few dozen top people per year, but for the most part no one ever quits those companies to go to Amazon.

1. Why are you assuming that my job description would/should be "engineer"? Why not, say, QA lead?

2. Why hand me the task? Why not hand someone else the task, and I'll wander in and make sure they get it done twice as quickly? Why does everyone need to be modellable as a task-queue that atomic problem-statements can be dropped into?

You don't expect, say, your office manager to program; but you do expect that, by hiring an office manager, more programming will get done, because now your programmers aren't running out to buy drinks for the fridge and toilet paper.

3. Remember that I did say that I could get work done by pair-programming with an intern, not an employee. The phrase "second resource" implies that you're imagining yourself handing me someone who you could get Hard Problems done on their own. My point was that, with a few people like me around, you could mostly just "hire" people (often for free!) who have no idea how to get Hard Problems—or even Regular Problems—done, and me and my type of person would guide them and the work would get done in the process.

This is usually known, in the trades, as an apprentice system. Apprentices do all the "work", you know. They're the hands that build most things that get built. Masters just stand there guiding those hands.
