"Can you mastodon me?" Ugh.

I don't see this going mainstream with a name like this. I don't think anyone at NBC is ever going to say, "let's see what's trending on mastodon."
I don't think everyone realizes just how much worse health insurance has gotten in the past couple years for many of us. When my kids were born (10+ years ago), I'm sure the whole pregnancy and birth was covered by just one co-pay. Now, with a $5k deductible on the best plan we can afford, it would be a different story.
as someone that's suffering from these symptoms rightnow, I'd be happy to listen to any advice you could offer. My memory used to be very very good, but these days I forget things easily and have a hard time recalling details from stories that may have happened years ago. For me, i bootstrapped a startup for a long time (4 years) and ultimately failed and walked away from it and have been picking myself up since then.
From a fine grained point of view, yes, stress causes sleep problems.

However, stress is a result of, and not the cause of the sleep deprivation that comes with nursing and changing a child throughout the night.

Arachnys | senior and junior engineers | London (UK) or NYC (USA) | On-site

I'm the CEO of Arachnys (https://www.arachnys.com). We make software to help banks manage know-your-customer checks and anti-money laundering (KYC/AML). It's what's perhaps most broken about banks and we're helping to fix it. Our customers are tier-1 financial institutions and large multinationals.

At the moment we're looking for generalist engineers of any experience level. We work in Python, Go, Java and JavaScript. We have two projects with over 1k stars on GitHub (one just broke 3k https://github.com/arachnys). We're always looking to open source more.

Our small, tight-knit team has a can-do mentality and isn't scared to use new tools when they are the right ones. We have a relentless focus on quality of delivery.

Drop me a line (email in profile) if any questions.

Email jobs@arachnys.com to apply, linking to your GitHub or some other code that you think tells a good story about you.
How do people gain satisfaction from working for a dead on arrival product?
I highly doubt that it is as technical as you seem to make it.

GS is very well connected, and they are constantly out there asking people for their opinions. Ten years ago they probably had some sort of database where people could share experiences, and that is most likely what led to them guessing the financial crash.

But it's not like they had some machine that one day told them to short mortgages.
The github project page has a bit more info than the threejs.org website.

It is a relatively small JavaScript library for creating and rendering 3D scene graphs in a browser. It enables you to code while thinking of scenes and the objects within them, rather than GPU buffers and what to put in them.

You raise the practicality of doing things this way, and you're right about the required effort. When I was in a larger organization, I set aside a week at time to get people in the door and talk to them. It was tough talking 6 or 7 people a day for an hour each, but I think it's worth the effort when you really need to bring on people.

Sure, you can copy a resume and you might get a phone call, but I suspect we're not going to have a very good conversation.

> Do you know how many times Poland has been invaded or partitioned in the past 300 years?

177 years. Poland has not existed as a sovereign country from 1795 to 1918.
Since not even the Polish can agree on an answer to your question, I'll refrain from it as well.

> How about all the map redrawing in Europe over the past 1000 years?

Excluding islands, not much worse or better than anywhere else in the world?

If you look at any of the published/leaked scenarios for US/RU-wars: All of them predict that the most heavy fighting will be in Europe, unless it's just nuked en passant.
Actually, "let's see what's trending on mastodon." doesn't sound wrong to my ears at all, but maybe that's because I've been around people who say that for a couple of months.

For reference, the community-decided verb/noun for posting on Mastodon is "toot" (as in, the elephant sound), so that would be "can you toot me". I mean. It's ridiculous, but I like it. It's endearing.
I think it was easier to get away with it, when it was simply a entertainment device. But with smartphones etc being about so much more (like say basic communication with an autistic child) it becomes a much harder sell.
Looks fantastic to me.

Couldn't you have the best of both worlds by just augmenting timestamps to be <UTC seconds, count of leap seconds elapsed> ?

That way you still get the easy modular arithmetic, but an application that expects monotonic time still sees it (simply locally sum the two fields).
You keep talking about hypothetical advantages of outside articles. But you linked to a specific article which provides none of those advantages. I don't think you're being downvoted for not being sufficiently reverent of SpaceX. You're being downvoted for making a bad recommendation and defending it with irrelevant points.

Thank you for your interest in SpiderOak and valuing work to improve the choices available that preserve privacy.

For what it's worth, everything we've built since 2008 has published source code. Most recently that's Semaphor[1], which is written in Go and React.

I think it's very important that products have what Zooko calls an "economic feedback loop" to be successful. As just one example, volunteer projects rarely have staff that do the grinding but necessary work of testing that each release works well on every version of all support operating systems and platforms, because it isn't fun. I think this is why although some teams publish their client source code, very few service providers publish their server source code. It would make it too easy for competitors to emerge and undercut on price while giving little back (the biggest cost is the often the development work itself.)

That said, we've been in business for 10 years and are not going away! Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the AC adapter, if you check that Amazon page it says it's by Mini Box and Mini Box itself http://www.mini-box.com/12v-10A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter sells the right adapter.
> interpret it more as "I'm not feeling it tonight"

I agree somewhat but above is generally not how it goes. It usually is the case of "I never feel" which then becomes a loop from which you never come out. So, there's actually nothing wrong with having a framework/label, binary or otherwise.
Hope you don't mind me asking - Are you on, or have you taken, SSRIs? I've been interested in them for a while, and one thing I've read fairly consistently is that they can cause short term (and in some cases long term) memory degradation.
I see your definition and that of the first definition I saw from the internet, and coming from a family of hunters/fishers, it surprised me a bit. I associate poaching almost entirely with killing of animals illegally. I think that is because in my home state, there were fewer problems with people trespassing to hunt than with those hunting with no regard for licenses/hunting laws. The Wikipedia article on poaching in the USA[0] is more what I associate with poaching.

The new MBP 2016 annoyed me (until I went back to my 2015 model) by making the left/right arrows the same size as the up/down and the other surrounding keys, which means your fingers can no longer find them by touch alone; I kept hitting shift and option instead.

J6P can demand equal treatment. Ultimately politicians have finite time and will listen/comply to wishes of the people that can help the politicians the most. 20% of a politicians time is spent raising money for their next campaign.

That means wealthy people reap the benefits.
I should have been more specific, and the word 'forever' was overly hyperbolic - though when you're doing it 20 times in an hour it gets to feel that way.

Relative is the key:

Linux wakes up in milliseconds every time; by the time I open the lid all the way it's ready to go.
rMBP (2012) can be from almost as fast as linux to ~10 seconds. I'd guess the average is ~3 seconds; though sometimes even when it wakes up fast I'll still get a beachball for a bit.

I mostly use my laptop around the house and often open and close it many times in a short period -- for instance say I'm reading something technical on the kindle in the armchair; I'll flip it open quite often to test or look something up quickly, so even having to wait a few seconds gets obnoxious.

I could just leave it open, but I don't always have a safe place to put it while open.

note: no external monitor, so that's not the issue.
That's what it feels like on the bleeding edge! Again, I wouldn't suggest being the first guy on the internet to try it.

If the Apple adapter doesn't work, there are a bunch of others on Amazon, although they are a bit more expensive today. Prices will come down. But if you have a TB2 plug on your laptop, you probably have a Mac anyway.
A lot of customers are going to assume that zero knowledge means no cleartext data is ever stored. I assumed it, and I'm no newbie.

This seems to be an abuse of the motte and bailey kind: they use a word which everyone believes means one thing, but when questioned they resort to a less commok definition because they 'didn't mean it that way.'
Yes, getting an older child out of the house can be like a hostage negotiation.

Gpoing.io open sourced, help wanted
gping.io, the open source automative tracking application, is looking for helpers in the areas of: UI/UX, Android, IOS, PHP, PHPUnit, Design, and business development.

https://github.com/dustball/gping.io

Except:

Automative diagnostics and car tracking offer an intimate view to our daily activity. It's no surprise, then, that several products1 have been developed utilizing this information to provide some novel features. It's also unsurprising that people may be uncomfortable giving access to this data to a third party who's primary goal is to make a profit.

The GPing project aims to become a flexible server capable of supporting geo tracking applications with an initial goal of feature parity to existing products available in the connected car space. To achieve that we will be prioritizing work in the following feature areas:

1. Authentication and provisioning;

2. API data access;

3. Geofence definition / alerting;

4. Web dashboards and live maps;

5. Subscribable event streams.

Thanks for your interest!
I suspect the best path forward is simply to cast another actress. They needed CGI for Tarkin and Leia in Rogue One because those movies dovetailed right into A New Hope and the appearances of the actors were a core part of the identity of the characters, but honestly, while it was great to have Carrie Fisher reprise her role as 53-year-old Leia in Episode VII, it would have been perfectly acceptable for them to have cast another actress from the start.

This brings to mind the Harry Potter series. The first two movies had Richard Harris playing Dumbledore, but then he died, so they simply recast the role and gave it to someone else, without any in-universe explanation for the change in appearance. And personally, I think Michael Gambon was a much better Dumbledore than Richard Harris.
You're talking actual statistics; he's talking social psychology. Americans do think/act much in the way he described compared to how Europeans think/act. You are also right that the numbers show us Americans are getting screwed by our system. But we don't shape our culture by the facts/statistics. I wish we did.

Note: I'm an American by birth, and the Western European societies I've interacted with have, except Scandinavian, been enthusiastically classist.

I am not introverted by any stretch of the imagination, but some of the advice can be summarized as "do this to avoid people" yet in my experience, especially being a "child of the internet", the one's who complain about being alone the most are introverts. I am not saying the solution is to "be more extroverted" but at some point I started thinking, "what gives?"

Cool. That actually seems like a good idea, unlike the "leap seconds are just time zones, what's the problem" one. Now you're just left with the practical problem of changing the representation of timestamps.

(It's not even that the Unix timestamp representation was short-sighted. Unix was invented before leap seconds.)
It seems important to mention that the study looks at the behaviour of a few hundred people in Italy and Sweden playing a _game_ which simulates earning money, paying tax and possibly being audited. I.e. the study is not actually about the compliance rate of real taxation.

tptacek's description of the paper he cites, i.e. "Here's a study comparing Sweden's compliance rate with that of Italy's, and finding them roughly similar" leaves out the crucial point that the whole paper is about a game, not real taxes.
This particular term is not overloaded. People familiar with encryption know it to mean something specific.
