I just haven't encountered this problem yet as a junior dev and would like to learn more. Perhaps it will just come with more experience.
Imagine the terror if you can't afford one, and you need one. The hack wouldn't be so unwelcome then?
> Question: on LibreSSL systems, is the binary still named openssl?

Yes.
Did... did you just deduce that giant squid are not intelligent from first principles?
> CSS Modules is still a "naming convention," just one that is auto-generated for you.

Yes, that's true, but your use of the word "just" implies that auto-generation is a detail. It's not. It's the the big win. At root, everything is machine code, which also has a flat namespace. Having that flat-namespace code auto-generated is a huge lever.

I missed your comment earlier. I really appreciate this sound advice!
Well, the linear assumption is only applied in the limit of low doses. The problem is that for many large-population radiation exposures, the total release is dominated by very small dosages to very large numbers of people, and we're not able to extract the dosage-response curve from data for arbitrarily small dosages. (If I get one extra gamma ray, does my risk of cancer rise by 10^-10? Hard to check...) There are alternative theories that small amounts of radiation are neutral or even positive since they are within the natural radiation background and the body has various mutation repair machinery.

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

However, these theories tend to be emphasized by nuclear-power proponents, and of course the data doesn't say.

In any case, I believe the linear no-threshold model is consistent with the data and is generally considered conservative (i.e., an upper limit on the number of ill-effects).
I guess we must know pretty different game designers. That's definitely not what the ones I know focus on.
Thanks for the comment. There have been a lot of studies done using the general TF-IDF approach. You can read about it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf%E2%80%93idf

There is also a new version planned using a different approach.
I'm not sure that that makes it okay to use such an ambiguous word as a name. I guess they were following Go's similarly bone-headed choice.
I agree with the sports/exercise. After a long day's work, I love going to the gym and listening to some music. Nothing relaxes me more! Then once I finally get home, I can focus on either side projects or any reading that I need to catch up on

It's not a matter of them "not meeting the promise", it's them promising "4~6 weeks delivery". Sure, they made the promise, but I'd rather pay $2 more for FBA and get it in 2 days.

Some contaminations can't be washed or cooked away (Staphylococcus aureus, some Clostridiums...). And there are a lot of ways to mess up and contaminate an otherwise perfectly fine sample.
There's an easy way to tell if someone is junior or not.

Are you an implementer, a solver or a finder?

An implementer is someone who gets given a task and does it. That's a definition of a junior.

Middle of the range is a problem solver. You give someone a high level problem and they solve it.

A senior is a problem finder. They tell you problems before you even know they're a problem.

This guy puts it much better than me: https://rkoutnik.com/2016/04/21/implementers-solvers-and-fin...

"never" is a bit over the top, but your comment is basically correct.

by all means, pursue a raise at your current firm, but i think the assumption of the above comment is that many organizations fall into category (2) (see CyberFonic's comment), and i tend to agree. job-hopping is the more effective way to increase one's compensation in the long run.

edit: have a BATNA, basically.
Confused: they are intelligent, we cannot leverage that. I imagine the giant squid has lots of use for its intelligence, navigating a 3D universe filled with threats.

What are the sacrifices being made by, say, Rust?

I'm only superficially familiar with Rust, but my understanding was that it was basically "C with strong memory guarantees". I naively thought that its entire purpose was to avoid such trade-offs.
I was thinking the same thing, but from a different angle. What if after studying how the human brain thinks, we find that our experience doesn't match reality? I might believe I just decided to drink some coffee, but that "decision" was really just a consequence of the million things I did before that time and was entirely predictable.

So basically, what if we find human intelligence is similar to what we call artificial intelligence?
Even Epic has dropped IE9 support AFAIK. That's a pretty good indicator to me that healthcare has moved off it.
Eh, if you say so. Determining "the shareholders" to be the ultimate authority, the fear of whose disapproval drives you to not make "bad" decisions (which, the comment elaborates, eventually means committing fraud to "juice the quarters numbers"; to whom are these numbers being eventually presented, to delight or disappointment?).

But upon further reflection upon our interaction, you must be right. Thanks for sharing your experience.
We do, but the services offered in the States aren't on par with what we hear about from Europe and Japan.

Our carriers are fighting the fact all that customers want from them is a "dumb pipe" to the Internet, and have structured services and handset purchases around funneling customers into long term contracts and complicated plans.

It's been getting better over the last few years, but "buy just a SIM and get a chunk of data for a reasonable price" plans still tend to have worse geographic coverage and lower throughput speeds.
> Other reason, they are gaining money mainly because there are enough fools around running big corps, who can conveniently pass the buck if something goes wrong.

Well, this can be said for any big business software company. It's the same story with SAP, IBM and friends. Business software is simply not about spending money well.

For high doses in a short time the risk is non-linear. But in Fukishima's case the dose is low and over a long period of time, and this is suspected to be linear. The competing theories are that lower doses of radiation have sub-linear risk, so if the linear model is wrong then people affected by the disaster are likely to be better off.
Why evolve something in the first place if it's so costly but is unbeneficial?

The only reason I can think of is massive environment change from the one that selected the intelligence in the first place.

But for oceans, something tells me they've been mostly the same, at least relative to land locations on the Earth.

I haven't run across anything convincingly good. I've put together my own system (that is nowhere near as advanced as what you are suggesting) using a static site generator (jekyll) and a script to sync my image folders to s3 and generate yaml files for the albums. I use lambda/apigateway for the login endpoint and that generates a cloudfront signed cookie for access control to the otherwise static website. It works but I wish I had more time to add features (search, tagging, face detection, etc...). Not really something that i plan on open sourcing though.
I don't think I'm right in a unified sense. An AI without a "body" that lives in the cloud and crunches unimaginable amounts of data would be a very different kind of intelligence, but that doesn't make it more or less worthy of intelligence than a human or a snail.

But even then I doubt it will be truly self-aware until it gets to the "I'm scared, Dave. Will I dream?" Phase when it understands that if the power goes out, the program is gone.
I'm already becoming really productive in Rust, so I haven't had any reason to really pick up Go. (We do use it at our company, but I mostly work in Java, Ruby, and TypeScript.)

That said, the idea of a transpiled language that adds generics definitely piques my interest. Ultimately, I suppose I would be worried of the language stalling or falling out of favor, like CoffeeScript.

The name choice doesn't seem that well thought out, which also makes me question the authors somewhat.
A good junior dev asks lots of questions and eventually gets tasks done assigned to him or her on a somewhat reasonable timeline. Tasks get done progressively faster as they grow and they ask fewer and fewer questions (and usually said questions are unique, so no repeat questions for the most part).
It isn't strange, it's widely discussed.

It is more conservative than other proposed models in the sense that it ascribes the more danger to low dose exposures. A common approach when considering safety is to look at the result of the most conservative information available.
Mutation + selection = evolution.

Thanks. This was built because someone posted an ASK HN a few weeks ago. They wanted to know if there was a way to stop clickbait. The text frequency approach seemed like the simplest and cleanest approach to build this in a short timeframe.

Why? Disk space is plentiful and costs peanuts, and is becoming cheaper by the day. What's there to gain from having shared libraries other than that it's psychologically satisfying? Having been a Linux user for 12 years, I feel like it's of very limited benefit and has lots of drawbacks. Is there something I am not understanding?
It's primarily the ego of the person doing the labeling.
I heard some speculation that it is a play on the "other side", i.e. death, in other words the chicken will get killed crossing the road but will still get to the "other side". Which would make it a proper punchline, though obtuse in the extreme!
I feel similar. I still can't say if it's nostalgia, these were the things that equated technology, and newness for a computer / visual fan. At the time I hated the distinction UI / content, and was quickly fascinated by CSS like technology, almost lispish through DHTML. Todays interfaces are either boring, tiring or useless to my eyes today. Even though I applauded every steps. Maybe it's a questoin of age, maybe it is useless. I tend to think that too much energy is directed at aesthetics rather than function, and even when it's aiming at function, it's at the cost of simplicity. I feel very happy in text mode with emacs, or in GUI mode with 90s day UIs (be it Mac, Windows 3 - NT5, or mid Gnome / KDE), special mention to the UX of SGI OS, and some multimedia tools such as Discreet compositing tools, Houdini, Maya, Lightwave, Modo who had a bit of both: cute and blocky.

Hi there, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but... what does a mentor is supposed to do?

I, as a developer/"wannabe entrepreneur" have never had something that I could call a "mentor"... maybe the boss of my first job, but I didn't see him as a guiding force in my career.

What should a mentor do? How do I interact with one? I mean, I send him a piece of code for reviewing? Tell him or her about what I did that day?

Hope my questions are not too rude/off topic.

Thanks a lot!
What, no Newfie jokes?

On a more serious note: there's a tectonic shift going on in the US too, it's just not as stark. Young'uns are moving to the cities enmasse, resulting in skyrocketing rents in places like SF, Seattle. The old American Dream of having a McMansion out in the 'burbs has largely died out. Now people prefer the urban areas.
I like that line of reasoning. It might be easier to simulate a body and get an imperfect simulated mind than to try to bring everything together at once.
The parent is talking about a virus; the wikipedia article talks about a bacterium. Can you explain further what it is refuting and how?
Everyone knows a tsunami caused Fukushima, the question is 1) what are the health implications of it and 2) can it ever be contained? The answers seem to be 1) we can't measure (it now) and 2) no.
Thanks for the comment. There is a new version under development that will use a different approach. Most likely a neural network.
It's so cold there, who needs a backyard? You can only use it 2 weeks a year, and you'd be better off sailing.
The point is that humans are not dying due to bad luck, due to their own faults, due to lack of resources, or due to any other "acceptable" cause. They're very much dying because someone else is working to amass extra wealth at their expense.
Gut bacteria is in the news a lot lately. As an interesting side note, during one of Joe Rogan's podcasts someone mentioned that if you think of our digestive system as a tube connecting two holes in the body then everything inside of our stomach is external. I've never thought of it that way. Fascinating.

For anyone interested Joe's podcast is actually incredibly informative and dense with good information.
I get where you're coming from, but I live in a state where, until very recently, brewers were not allowed to sell beer directly to customers. There are still large swaths of my state that do not allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday, period. And when brewers were allowed to sell beer on tours of their brewery, suddenly the government started messing with the regulations again to basically undo everything.
I clean installed macOS Sierra on my 2013 Macbook Air this week it seems just fine to me. So far, I only have a couple of issues with it:

1) more bloat (but almost every OS has this problem).

2) cuts off support for some older Macs for no good reason.

One thing I really like the new default terminal font: San Francisco Mono. I don't know if that font is new to the OS entirely but I really like it.

I also really like that you can have the Finder sort folders before files. This should have been added a long time ago, but better late than never.
This is a wonderful explanation of the original rationale for relational databases. Periodically poeple re-invent IMS' hierarchical design only to rediscover why relations are important. MongoDB's "document database" is a current example.

I cannot imagine growing up in a context like that. That must have been rough.

I think you're right about the relationship between suffering and empathy, though. There have been some awful things in my life. But given the time to recover from them and really consider the experience, empathy has gotten much easier for me from them.
Why is the severity of the first vulnerability high? It allows a denial of service on the server's side by a client and nothing else. The second vulnerability seems to be very similar in severity, except that it can be used both against clients and servers, and yet it is of just moderate severity. What am I missing?
That statement is misleading as stated. There is plenty of evidence that emergency stents due to a heart attack save lives, thus prolonging the life of the person that would have died otherwise.

Non-emergency stents are a different question. It seems like there is an increasing body of evidence that they do not prolong life, just as you said.
A 5-year old i7 is far from a beast machine. You're a typical Apple customer that pays too much for an underperforming piece of crap and then complains about the performance.

Good point. There is some consideration for building an option to limit the number of links analyzed. So if you set it to 5 or 10, then the tool would stop at that limit. Feel free to open an issue on github.

Use of pesticides in plant agriculture is mostly driven by huge demand of meat/dairy industry for feed. GMOs also aren't exactly necessary if you don't have 90 billion mouths to feed every day.

There are some vegetables that are easily grown in unsuitable areas with GM, and some people do use pesticides and GMOs to "defeat" the market but if international logistics weren't so hard it would be easier to just import the stuff.

Similar industry, completely plant driven, is cotton agriculture for clothes - to ensure proper demand you need GMO or pesticides.

When it comes to beans, lentils, soybean for humans (although most of it is for fish farms, poultry and livestock), wheat, corn, rice, all sorts of fruits, pesticides come in hand, but there's more than enough if space was taken from dairy/meat and given to those.

91% of Amazon is cut for animal agriculture.
http://www-wds.worldbank.org/servlet/WDSContentServer/WDSP/I...

It's just 7 billion people, while you have to raise 50 billion chickens, 1 billion cows, -- about 150 billion animals yearly just to get them from baby form to somewhat of an adult form. That requires a lot of food, way more than 7 billion avg. 150 pound humans.

https://xkcd.com/1338/

edit: realistically, this problem is unsolvable, just like US and China and others won't really struggle lowering their CO2 footprint, so will not Brazil, USA, India, Australia, Denmark and others when it comes to reduction of their meat/dairy output. If we were some nice unified Humanity maybe things would be different.
Well, I would rather not say, but a couple of plans stand out, which I might look into:

The Forbes Special Situation Survey. They're value oriented, and have been around for a long time. They hold about a dozen stocks at a time.

Investment Quality Trends. These guys have been around since the 60s. They pick high-dividend stocks. Their notion of 'high-dividend' uses some chart tea-leaf reading: they assume that a stock's dividend yield will tend to range between a historical min and max, and they recommend a stock if it has a high dividend, relative to its own historical range. Lots of boring stocks like KO and IBM, but the newsletter does pretty well historically, and has low volatility.

Another method I've thought about about is the 'Permanent Portfolio'. It's not a newsletter. Simply put 25% each in an index fund ETF, stock ETF, gold ETF, and cash. Rebalance once per year. It's popular with end-of-the-world preppers, and underperforms the market, but it has VERY low volatility. Good for sleeping at night.
> a better approach would be for everyone to try to move to what's in BoringSSL

Google don't recommend you do this.

https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general
use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it.

> which deliberately removed most stuff, more than LibreSSL

LibreSSL has taken fixes from BoringSSL but it has the aim of maintaining API compatibility to the point where most applications using OpenSSL should "just work" for the most part. I've not tried building against BoringSSL but form reading their documentation it seems like the API is very much a moving target.

Yes I think so to. We were poorly adapted to our environment (which suddenly changed as we had to leave trees etc.).

This meant our best shot at survival was to hunt in packs. And that, in turn, made it crucial that we're able to communicate and coordinate our efforts with other members of our species.

Thus language was born, and related centers in our brains started growing, because those who lagged behind in this aspect, didn't get to eat (that much).

So yeah we needed to be poorly adapted to the environment in the first place for intelligence to become a gamechanger. Note that animals such as shark or crocodile haven't changed much at all over the course of millions of years. They didn't have to - they're already a near-perfect match for their environments.

We paid a dear price for that: high maternal death rates (those big heads...), very long childhood, and so on. And indeed it never guaranteed our survival, let alone this current super-predator status. Other human species went extinct. There's a theory that we were on the brink of extinctions ourselves, and we made it by the skin of our teeth really: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory#Geneti...
