Time to throw my grill brush away. It always hurt when I accidently touched it anyhow. Steel wool is probably safer and better anyhow.

Well thats sortof terrifying. Very squicky.
My grill cleaning method has always been to put a layer of tinfoil on the grill, shiny side down. Ten minutes or so of direct heat and the grill is clean, just like a self-cleaning oven. If there's any ash left, a quick pass with a wet paper towel takes care of it.
The Washington Post carries a comic strip called "Reply All". It is not particularly tech-oriented, striking me as a millenial version of the old "Cathie" comic strip.
This is not just an issue for neural nets, but also for brains. Our interpretations of our own actions should always be considered posthoc rationalizations in the absence of some falsifiable experiment being conducted to demonstrate the validity of the interpretation. Human brains are excellent at creating a coherent story about the world they experience based on the data at hand, thus we suffer the same kinds of issues, mitigated only by the fact that we have inherited developmental programs that have been subjected to a huge variety of adverse situations that have rigorously tested their performance (by killing anything that failed).

It would be great for Nvidia to get real competition.
I often hear that short periods of time spent at jobs is a negative signal to hiring managers but I seldom hear anyone actually point to it as the reason they weren't hired for a job.

Last year, we declined to interview several candidates who had jumped from job to job (many 6-12 month stints over many years, and not doing independent consulting/contracting).

We also discovered after several interviews that candidates who were jumping from one government contract to another regularly were often not being re-hired when contracts renewed/moved (because they were mediocre employees).

The best candidates we interviewed were typically staying at jobs 3-6 years. I assume this was long enough to do some real work, possibly over several projects, but not long enough to stagnate.

These were mid-career and senior developer positions in the DC area.

I imagine it'll hurt Samsung even further, considering they build freighters.
Yes. Definitely. I might write a post about it when everything settles down.
I stupidly used relatively thin/cheap tinfoil when I tried this and it flaked all over my grill after having it heat up. Just a word of caution...
In practice, doesn't sound very problematic to me. As long as the IoT base device manufacturer is compliant, someone can just buy a board (for "product development" purposes) and then release the source publicly.
Tricks to Monetize Your Side Projects
Reading behind the link made me learn about Lumina desktop. I'm curious to why it is not making use of the LxQt effort? They seem to be pretty close in goals...
My bad. As of right now, we use jsonb to store all of the properties of events besides the user_id, the event_id, and the time of the event. We have lots of builtin properties which are stored in some events but not others (for example, the text of a button that someone clicks on). We thought storing these properties in jsonb was a good idea because at the time we didn't know any of the downsides of jsonb. The issues brought up in Dan's post are things we wish we knew before deciding to use jsonb.

We are currently planning on moving all of the builtin fields into true postgres columns instead of keeping them in jsonb. All of the custom properties will remain in jsonb.
No, you're supposed to understand the concept of "manners", like a functional adult, instead carrying on like an overgrown toddler.

This is a near perfect example of a link bait title aimed to getting links and reads for 'google juice'. It is also wrong.

Passion does not equal long hours, the rest of the stuff described is a result of interest in solving problems and 'high interest' => 'passion'.

What makes this even dumber is the company itself peddles programming tests they think can recognise these qualities by subjecting potential candidates to a bunch of contrived small programming problems that do not reflect in any way what it takes to be a better than average developer.

Stuff like this is not helping anyone.
I used Cesium.js for a visualization project for one of my clients a few months back and was pleased at how well the engine was designed. As someone interested in globe-based graphics rendering, I found a lot of interesting insights in the book the Cesium developers wrote, "3D Engine Design for Virtual Globes":

Wow! We've been using this kind of brush for decades. I guess we're lucky that nothing happened. I think, though, with proper brushes, none of the bristles come off.
I've found a few good applications for jsonb so far:

1) Using jsonb to store user-generated forms and submissions to those forms. As an example, you can create a form with text inputs, checkboxes, etc., and others can submit responses with that form. I find that these forms and their submissions are best stored as jsonb because their contents are largely opaque (I don't care about the contents except where they are rendered on the client), their structure is highly dynamic, and their schema changes frequently.

2) As a specialized case on #2, applying filters to user-generated form submissions. jsonb supports subset operators (@> and <@, if i remember correctly), which makes easy work of dynamically filtering form submissions on custom form fields even for complex filter conditions.

3) Storing/munging/slicing relatively low-volume log data is fantastic with jsonb. This is always for admin/diagnostic reasons, so it's not as performance-critical, and the ability to group on and do subset operations on jsonb fields makes slicing your data really easy.
"Kevin Gallant, of Summerside, P.E.I., had part of his small intestine removed after he swallowed a bristle from a barbecue brush.

"I was very ill, probably as close to death as you want to be," he said from his home in Summerside, P.E.I.

"The barbecue brush bristle had started to move, so it was trying to come through the wall of my small intestine. So I was told I was very fortunate that they found it, because it would have just pierced through the small intestine into one of my major organs until it found a spot that it would have just killed me."

He still uses a bristle brush, but inspects the barbecue thoroughly after using it."

Why!?!?!?
I hadn't noticed how disastrous Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia turned out to be. According to this article, along with the $7.1 billion purchase price, which has been written off entirely, 30,500 people have lost their jobs.

Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but it's hard to believe that Nokia would have done worse if it had remained independent.
I don't get the accusations of censorship here. They aren't stopping people from publishing of these videos, they're just telling the creators they won't pay for them anymore (beyond hosting costs, distribution, etc).

Works great. You have to have the round, stainless grill grates.
As far as failure modes go, so far so good -- the 'smart' TV will still work, it'll just have one less app. Eventually, as more and more apps raise their minimum requirements (either by necessity or just because), the older hardware will no longer cut it; but the TV will keep working as a display.

The problem will come when the smart TV's OS itself is no longer getting patches.

I've seen the observation made that we often ascribe "matriarchy" to early cultures about which we basically know nothing, such as Minoan culture, based on the observation that they are given to depicting women in their art.

In contrast, we know that medieval/renaissance Spain produced tons of art depicting the Virgin Mary, but we do not usually think of it as a matriarchal culture.

The last time I was in the emergency room the nearest other patient had partially swallowed a needle. I can still hear the attempt to get it out...

So nope, never going to get close to one of these brushes. Good tip.
A Gin index only helps with querying the data from the table. It won't help with making the proper join choice or with getting a bitmap scan between multiple indexes. Additionally, you are unable to query numeric values by an inequality with a Gin index.
We're not really talking 3-4km here. We're talking 20-30km, perhaps each way, for a daily commute.

The level of density required for a bike to be a good daily commuter isn't the way a great many Americans live.
That's a good one. Thanks.

I wonder if there is a surgeon who's that skilled.
Hey jawspeak - can you tell us a little bit more about the kind of technology you use at square?

This seems like a good place to point out that we are hiring! See the "Who's Hiring" thread. :-)
I really don't understand the comments here. My first response was "only 52 months?"

This guy broke into people's accounts by guessing passwords and then used the identities of his victims to victimize others. How are people rationalizing this as OK?

He's certainly not a white-hat hacker. He didn't publish work for the public interest (Snowden). He didn't responsibly report a security vulnerability, as there was no vulnerability beyond public figures using question-answer authentication.

Think about if your accounts were hacked for the "crime" of being a public figure's relative? Friend? I know you think "public figure" only means politician, but to make this thought exercise more real, remember that Linus Torvalds, Steve Wozniak, celebrity startup CEOs (the types of people many of you want to someday become), etc. are public figures as well.

Finally, ask yourself if you can honestly say you've never broken a law; never had a moment that affected others negatively; never did anything that the public could judge you for. If you don't pass all those tests, consider whether anyone could pass those tests, and then consider whether Hillary or anyone else should be expected to. (Unlike you, Hillary and many others probably didn't grow up with internet, or email, or the concept of basic things like legal equality for African Americans - will you find it easy to pass the test of public perception for your past actions 20 years from now? 30 years from now? 40?)
Crazy, but also explains why they are so hard to get rid of.
From AmazingRibs.com (http://amazingribs.com/BBQ_buyers_guide/grill_grate_cleaning...)

"Be careful with bristle brushes, especially cheap brass bristle brushes. Bristles fall out. Every year there are scores of sad news stories about people eating meals with bristles hiding on them. The bristle gets stuck in their throats or digestive systems, and repairs can get pretty ugly. Every so often someone dies."

I bought this from his recommendation, and it has been good so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045UBBO0/tag=amazingribs-...
Weber 18-Inch Bamboo Grill Brush. Still the easiest, and most effective way to remove grease. Heat the grates and then brush. Simple. There are a variety of brushes like this with rustproof brass bristles but the Weber is my favorite because it is well built. Some have flat scrapers on the end as well as the brush. I like this model because the C shaped scraper on the end.
The "Smart TV" is like those "all-in-one desktop PCs" -- unless you really prioritize the appearance of the thing, like in an architect's office where clients are visiting, etc. -- it almost never makes sense. The display stays good for a decade and the compute is often obsolete in 12 months -- it makes no sense to bundle them. I have a overheating iMac whose compute I wish I could switch out.
Wow. The original comment was fantastic, but this is above and beyond. Thank you!! :)
I just threw mine away.

Great tip from the article: use crumpled up aluminum foil to clean the grates, instead.
No wonder there was no mention of the Ellen Pao debacle.
How is it legal to sell these things then? Why are they still on shelves? It's dangerous at its intended purpose, making it worse-than-useless.
Relative to the rest of the mission/rocket lifecycle, how risky is filling it with fuel generally considered?
If you're a developer, the sad truth is that there's probably very little you can do. Even if you removed 100% of the company's infrastructure cost center, it's only a small fraction of your company's total costs.

Unless you are in Sales, Marketing, or Senior Management, there's very little you can ever do to significantly impact revenue.

Not that Senior Management wants you to think that; it's demoralizing when combined with bonuses being withheld due to missed revenue goals.
If I'm not mistaken one of the big goals of Lumina is to produce a desktop with its roots in BSD, since most (if not all) DEs currently in development got their start on Linux. I imagine the idea is to develop Lumina as part of a single-piece OS, BSD-style, as opposed to the Linux model where everything is developed independently and then glued together to form a distro.
I've seen most places use steel wool instead. The fibres do still find their way into food, unfortunately. But the fibres are often much softer and far less dangerous.
Yet another reason why the internet of things will be truly appalling.
>I'm curious to why it is not making use of the LxQt effort?

I would guess the primary reason is licensing. The other is a motivation to integrate with FreeBD/TrueOS specific things like ZFS and their administration tools.
This sounds amazingly similar to the beginning of our post on Medium [1]. As you point out, email is only part of the whole picture. We're aiming to add the tools to organize email along with your personal/business todos without giving up that agency.

Snippet: "Would you use a todo list where all your tasks are created by someone else, and you can’t prioritize or rearrange them? Of course not — they’re your tasks, so you should be in control. Using a todo list sorted only by creation time would be incredibly frustrating. But that’s exactly what email is."

Linux Animated Wallpaper
Hello HN! I am running arch linux with a tiling WM. Right now I am just using feh to set a wallpaper. I would really like to play a video or GIF as my wallpaper just like feh does with images. I can't find anything that would work with something like i3 or other tiling window managers. Thoughts?

The man's name is really Herman Herman?! I can't even begin to quantify how mindbogglingly bad-ass that is! (as if being as close to a robotics expert as one could ever likely be, and having a sweet gig at a prestigious uni, wasn't bad-ass enough)
It's amusing that CBC headline writers felt the need to use the adjective "Canadian" here.
Not choosing optimal routes would lead to a more expensive service, which is critical for a commodity.

As for routes only having 4 stops - sure, but that's after you chosen which users will drive in the same car/trip, which is hard in itself.

BTW the dial-a-ride problem is quite similar to the ridesharing problem, and the complexity there is O(number_of_pickup_and_drop_points^2 ) [1]

Couldn't they have some sort of instrument with a metal detector attached to find things like that?
Are you compensating applicants during the 3 day hackathon? Seems like an incredibly arduous process...
The thing about thoughtful people is that they dislike being told what to think.
Pretty much, yes. Harvey's has grills in every restaurant and they scrub their grill using such a tool.

Then again the grill elements are removed and washed rather than simply scrubbed.
I get why the TV manufacturers don't like the concept but TVs should really be dumb displays. Using something like a ChromeCast to get content to the TV makes so much more sense than embedding "intelligence" in a display.

It's the same mismatch of lifecycles that you get with entertainment (and navigation) electronics in cars.
>It's dangerous at its intended purpose, making it worse-than-useless.

You can't authoritatively say this until you have done a thorough cost analysis.

Tens or hundreds of millions of people around the world own these sort of brushes and they're very useful and effective for cleaning. I would not be surprised if their utility exceeded the cost of a few GI injuries a year. To be clear, I wouldn't be surprised the other way either.
I don't know why you read it that way. If the design looks like a Tostidos bag, then it doesn't look like IBM, which would be a bad decision regardless of how nice a Tostidos bag looks. That's how brands work.
A trick I learned from Argentinian circus people, who make amazing BBQ, is let the grill heat up and then cut an onion in half to rub on the grate. It imparts a nice flavor and cleans the grill very well.
This is a great talk. Like, I am going to be linking people to this for years. It mentions the basics, goes over an example use, and just generally has the perfect amount of "this could be cool".

The one thing that bothered me, in the whole talk, is when he said that a 10-qubit circuit was beyond anything we could run right now. Simulators like Liquid [1] or even my browser-drag-and-drop toy Quirk [2] would easily run that circuit. In hindsight it's obvious that he meant on an actual quantum computer.
