A 7 day work week seems to be optimal for most. Specifically, the 5 days on / 2 off. Apparently, medical staff working 10 / 4 have issues, and attempts at running e.g. 7/3 also don't go over very well.
Very nice read. I used to be a particularly shy person, but the difference between shyness and being anti-social in general, is that a shy person _wants_ to connect to others, but is afraid of the outcome of attempting to do so.

This is why, I think, shyness cures itself as we move through life (for many if not most people). We come to realise that a) we don't matter as much as we think to the other person, and b) sharing our thoughts and feelings helps other people connect to us.

Small aside: I like the idea that natural selection would encourage a variety of personalities in a social species, rather than uniform, homogeneous super-beings, so that different sections would be competent at different task, leading therefore to the collective improvement of the whole.

I also found the git plugin [1] in the Sublime Text Package Control repository to be rather useful. The basic idea is similar to magit, with the (subjective) upside of avoiding the crazy Emacs hotkeys.

That said, since I discovered Spacemacs, I'm also enjoying using Magit - the "evil" control scheme for it is great, too.

Don't be focused on "requests". Requests (where most people mean HTTP requests) are one layer where you need concurrency, but in principal you need it on multiple layers.

E.g. at first you have a server that accepts multiple connections and each must be handled -> Thread per connection or one thread for all connections? If you go for threads you might even need multiples, e.g. a reader thread, a writer thread which processes a write queue and a third one which maintains the state for the connection and coordinates reads and writes.

Then on a higher layer you might have multiple streams per connection (e.g. in HTTP/2), where you again have to decide how these should be represented.

Depending on the protocol and application there might be even more or other layers that need concurrency and synchronization.

But the general approaches that you mention do still apply here: You can either use a thread for each concurrent entity and using blocking operations. Or you can multiplex multiple concurrent entities on a single thread with async operations and callbacks. Coroutines are a mix which provide an API like the first approach with an implementation that looks more like the second approach.
Machine learning is employed in a range of computing tasks where designing and programming explicit algorithms is unfeasible; example applications include spam filtering, optical character recognition, search engines and computer vision.

It says they fly the MD-80, also known as the mechanical disaster.

This is off topic, but A fascinating thing about these planes is the control surfaces are aero powered through tab surfaces. They hang and move freely when the plane is stopped and only become controllable after the plane starts rolling down the runway.
What we actually need is good _independant_ firewall vendors.

It is not enough to focus on the telemetry giant corporations like NVIDIA or Microsoft while forgetting about all the P2P software being installed by game's vendors and "telemetry" of software smaller vendors.

On big computers/pcs the default mode makes the user give up too much control _forever_ once the software its has been installed. Most software only need to be doing anything when your actually using it.

What we need is not opt-in checkboxes from vendors, what we need is the operating-system level software to be better -> where our explicit permission is needed to "allow" some kind of activity like transmitting over the network or detecting my location.

Some thoughts about setting up a basic frond-end build process
My first attempt to write down some thoughts. Please let me know what you think!
The article's "Conclusion" section clearly describes a way; one that Google used in its Chromebooks, the HW switch for "developer mode".
Or... that it was an option for port placement they'd already considered, and they pulled an existing prototype out of the library, which seems more likely to me.
"Oh, looks like you are nearly finished with it. The button does nothing if I click on it. I assume you have this finished by next week instead of next month. Good job.

I do not know your applications. But PUT and DELETE are more like file operations and unless you do these things in your applications, POST is just fine.

A PUT tells the server to make the payload available as is at the given URI. And if you do a GET on the URI, you should receive the exact payload that you put there. That may also include headers you send along with the PUT request (especially the Content-Type header). That's why a PUT is also able to invalidate a cache. So PUT and POST are very different.

The problem with DELETE is this part of the specification: "The client cannot be guaranteed that the operation has been carried out, even if the status code returned from the origin server indicates that the action has been completed successfully."

That's why most applications are fine with using only GET and POST.
Carbon-free implies that there is zero carbon in this technology. In fact, the MOF material is based on organic (carbon-bearing) molecules.

"non-carbon-based" would be more apt, since this is definitely a change from carbon-based electrodes.

The whole thing is about as stable and production worth as Swift. That is to say features do still change, but not the ones already specced as 6.C

Kinetic energy doesn't kill cyclists in the usual circumstances.

You need very little kinetic energy to make a cyclist topple and fall. The fall itself can lead to injury and death, lying on a street in the midst of all the traffic is even more dangerous.

Any touching of car and cyclist is very, very dangerous. That's why I brought up the example of cyclists passing cars with practically no space between them. They feel it's safe, but it's incredibly dangerous.
Anything to hurt Nick Denton and shutdown Gawker is awesome no matter how absurd the case.
with big projects we will have dependencies with other packages. It is a good sign that this happens. But then we get also version dependency witch is currently ignored by go. I use gvm which is one way to handle it, but it is not enough because external package I use may have their own external dependency. The bigger the project, the bigger the problem will be.

Actually the version dependency is undpecified. One has to guess it by trying to compile. I don't think aliasing package names solves this.

You tell me that java tools take care of it. So go tools could take care of it. But this requires that the info is provided in a standard and clear way. This info can be kept optional for backward compatibility. Without this info, we are limited when trying to use go for bigger projects.
Yes, the book On the Beach is from the 1950s not long after H-bombs were invented - it is mentioned in the book that a lot of weapons used in the war it describes were salted with cobalt to create large amounts of long lived fallout. This is perfectly possible but fortunately was never actually done - I suspect salting with something like cobalt would dramatically reduce the direct effects of weapons.

I can't remember if the cobalt bomb element is mentioned in the film versions but was definitely mentioned in the book.

Not-so-good good idea?

Given that you already have dozens of site with their own passwords, you just can't import your passwords, but you need to change all of them to start using lesspass first.

Also, if the way the generation of passwords works changes later (i.e. bug), then the users are stuck with a version, or the bug is never fixed, ever.
So what this is, is an IOS hypermedia (AKA true REST) client, for consuming APIs serving a custom (as opposed to generic) hypermedia format.

The format itself is designed for a particular problem domain, namely outputting mobile-application specific controls and behaviours.

It would be an interesting exercise to extract those aspects into a custom vocab for JSON-LD + Hydra (or Siren, or (insert) other generic hypermedia formats).

http://www.markus-lanthaler.com/hydra/

It would also be interesting to have the hypermedia format defined as a schema somewhere.
Up until very recently, fossil fuel was cheap and there was little incentive to invest in other resources such as wind or solar. Furthermore, there was relatively little political incentive to avoid fossil fuels.

Both of these things have changed and large amounts of money have subsequently been invested in renewable energy sources, making them cheaper (mass-produced) and more reliable (better technology).

If you were to re-build the town today, wind farms and battery storage may well be the most economic choice, but to switch to wind, it not only has to be cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) but also so much cheaper that the initial investment costs are returned in a reasonably timeframe.
What happens when the method of creating passwords needs updating, do I then need to visit countless numbers of sites to change the password?

I like the idea don't get me wrong, I just can't see all of the downsides right now which will stop me using it.

Show HN: Functional Emoji CLI Sokoban in Node.js
> I find most Electron apps to be well designed, run quickly, can be optimized for efficient power use

As long as we're doing personal experiences, I find most Electron apps to be:

1. Poorly designed.
Flow of keyboard control is usually all over the place, as if the developer completely skipped the idea of making the app keyboard accessible. This is the case with even big-name Electron apps with a lot of development effort behind them, like Atom. Sure, it has keyboard shortcuts, for some actions, but that's it. Half the time focus ends up someplace I didn't expect it to, and I have to use a mouse-click to focus. Half of that time, it's the Ctrl-Shift-P popup that misses the keyboard focus.

2. Run slowly.
Slack, Spotify, Atom. All run slowly on my system. Not slowly in the sense they grind to a halt and become unusable (well, Atom does), but slowly compared to native apps. It's noticeable, it's annoying; and in the case of Atom, it's frustrating.

3. Suck battery
OS X's stats are enough to back this up. Chrome is a power hog, and every Electron app is running its own copy of Chromium. Most apps don't bother to do anything towards respecting power efficiency, since it's so easy to just cobble up and app and throw it up. Slack and Atom again, are the examples I chose for this.

VS Code is the only browser-embedded app I know that manages to not be too slow and somewhat respect power consumption. I reckon similar feats cannot be pulled off by a developer spending little time on the code, the kind of developers you talk about.

> Anybody with some basic knowledge of installing software packages and some HTML and JavaScript can make an Electron program and share it with their friends.

That is exactly the kind of thing the web evolved to support. Unfortunately, Electron takes that idea and turns it on its head. While the web didn't require someone to download an entire browser for every individual site, Electron does for every app. That, is my problem with this model (I don't know about your parent commenter).

This is meant as an illustration of functional programming concepts: It's a Sokoban game that you can play on the command line, it uses emoji for graphics, uses currying, mapping, monads/promises and zero variables or loops.
It's not meant as a tutorial; think of it as something you can look at to decide whether functional programming is checking out more thoroughly.
In most manufacturing, you have a prototype hall or floor where you have somewhat more general purpose/flexible machines with a lot of manual intervention to make small quantities of prototypes, and factories with automated machines set up to make the exact parts you need for your full production.

This was always my experience in electronics - you, as the development engineer, set up small-scale production (going from prototypes to EV or engineering validation articles, which are basically the final product produced by these manual/slow methods), and then manufacturing engineers work with you to transfer your processes to an automated assembly line making who knows how many units a minute.

It's not unusual to produce a special prototype in the small/experimental floor; I mean, Apple probably goes through hundreds (or whatever) of prototypes and test articles before releasing their next phone, and they are certainly not stopping their million-per-day manufacturing plants to make them. However, it does show impressive commitment to the customer on the part of Fujitsu.

Also, electronics is more cyclical than cars (3-year-old model may be completely different and useless compared to the current one), so it is common to produce everything in batches rather than "the Toyota way" with just-in-time. In other words, if a laptop model is sold for 2 years, the whole run may have been made in 6 months, and then you have that manufacturing equipment sitting idle while the next prototype is worked on, so you may have equipment and engineers to spare. Only a few of the highest-volume factories (e.g. Apple again, I assume) run at full capacity all the time.
The idea is that carbon fuel dependent industries, which is a lot of industries and infrastructure, have issued vast amounts of debt to fund investment and medium to long term expansion and operations. If the transition to e.g. electric vehicles and solar power generation happens rapidly many of those investments will become massive liabilities and the debt will go bad. This would also lead to a crash in oil prices, so only the cheapest producers would be viable, leaving the rest sitting there on huge oil production infrastructure rusting away, with even more bad debt it will never be able to repay.

I'm not sure how likely/unlikely this is, but that's the theory.

No they aren't, PRIME and BB only now support synchronisation which is how it also works on Windows.

It's more expensive on Linux because the DRM on Linux is broken, there is no longer "Optimus" since NVIDIA no longer uses a dedicated chip, you share a frame buffer with the IGP.

PRIME also supports the older Optimus chip laptops, but again this doesn't work that well, but then again these don't work well with Windows 10 either due to the changes to WDDM.
Unreal engine forum compromise
So how is/was Fujitsu's laptop manufacturing tailored toward flexibility? I want the details. If all you can do is passive aggressively repeat vague ideas that were printed in mainstream management and manufacturing texts decades ago, don't respond at all. Nobody cares about or wants your input.
Interesting, I never heard of them.

Open source software runs the gamut from unmaintained to supported by a foundation with multiple corporate members, a board, and plans in place to ensure continuity under various adverse circumstances. How much stability do you need?

It isn't the responsibility of the project owner to tell you that their project doesn't meet your needs. It is your responsibility to check how the project is run and choose whether or not to take on that risk.

People actually doing the work of evaluating the risks they are taking on is how open source actually does become a legitimate (sometimes safer) alternative to commercial software.

People not doing the work, taking on risk without doing their homework, and then whining when it bites them in the ass is, well, "the story of left-pad".
While it is not uncommon to say "at three" instead of "at fifteen" in German, this only ever happens when context sufficiently avoids ambiguity. The language does not even know a generic qualifier for 12-based times (like am/pm), you would have to use the correct time of day name (non/afternoon/evening) for disambiguation. Much easier (and therefore much more common) to say "fifteen" instead. (for the second half, first half can only be specified the complicated way)

Sorry, but this is the most mediocre article talking about general things that you can find outside a soap-opera replacement magazine. There is no single idea, no single sentence that qualifies it to be listed in the Hacker News.
No one talking about Perl 6 compactness means golfed code! Just naturally translating over say a Java program with the OO design intact will be hugely compact. In a way that means the code is written at a succinct conceptual and declarative level. Perl 6 is incredibly declarative, you say what you want, not how to get there. The core features cover nearly all of what you want out of the box too.

Another radical idea, we could do the opposite: Use local astronomical time everywhere.

One reason unified time zones were introduced were train timetables. I haven't used one directly in quite a while, instead I've used websites, apps and public displays. They could all accommodate for the fact that different train stations had slightly different times.

Unified time is also important for TV show airing times. But scheduled TV is getting less and less important compared to video on demand. (Also if you really wanted to, future set-top boxes could modify the text of announced times on-the-fly. Text-to-speach has become pretty good :-))

I believe this would also encourage places to adjust their opening hours relative to sunlight, which would probably be healthier and better for the environment in the long run.
