That was my idea too. So us Europeans really did a number on ourselves with this one. Constantly agitating against the British financial services dominated economy and their catering to it. Now that they exit the club the continental idea is of course to split the booty. Talking about cooperation.

Killing the Hydra (2013)
For those who don't want to read:

1. It's a story about a Hispanic male, most likely wrongly jailed.

2. It's about the remorse of a cop.

3. It's about the huge number of homicides in the 90's--in the Bronx--600. Now it's around 100. (That doesn't sound right? It must be more, or I got it wrong?)

4. It's about how cops put more resources into the murder of their own. Something I don't quite understand. They are paid public servants. They shouldn't be able to pick, and choose what's important?

"The murder of a former cop electrified the Forty-seventh Precinct. The next morning, phones rang constantly as Potter’s former colleagues called in for updates. The N.Y.P.D. threw all its resources behind the investigation, putting some forty officers, including Forcelli, on the case. (For most murders, two was the norm.) The pressure to make an arrest was intense."

5. It's a well written story, as usual. The end where Garry befriends a stray cat got me. I was expecting a state penal regulation stating prisoners coudn't feed/keep stray cats, but it's o.k., according to this. That was the only bright spot in the article.

I don't buy that police work has imporoved significantly since the ninties though.

(I'm a little biased--maybe? I interned at a Coroner's office while in high school. I only saw great detective work one time. A female model, who specialized in nudes, was found dead. These dectives investigated it forever. Personally, I thought she just overdosed, but who an I? In all honestly, most people who died in my county died of natural causes, or suicide. Murder was very rare.)

You will get plenty of strong opinions and materials on the tremendous amount of JS framework and libraries. In the end, choosing what is best for you is a balancing act, and there is no clear winner.

One benefit of learning Dart + Angular(.dart) is that you get an efficient programming environment with batteries included. The toolchain includes the usually required tools (SASS included, it is now implemented in Dart first and is ported to other platforms afterwards). The learning curve is small(er than usual), the tools are great.
Some people like 24 hour raves too. I personally can't understand it. A good hackathon is a party for people who like to party that way. If you have colleagues that you truly enjoy hacking with, it's awesome.

Plus I like pizza.

I understand that some people don't enjoy these kinds of things the way I do (and to be honest, I can't do 24 hours of anything any more). As programming jobs become more integrated in society I find that hacking culture is changing. There are many more 9-5ers these days than when I first started. As much as I understand it, and as much as I think it isn't necessarily bad, it makes me a bit sad.
The following is a a good fact sheet that puts the hacks in context with some others, and contains some details that don't seem to be reported on:

Facebook doesn't need you to give your name to figure out who you are. They don't sell advertising based on your name.

Also, I think it's unfair to pretend that real names don't make a difference. They're a big part of what makes Facebook different than MySpace, Twitter, or other social networks.
Because the opposite case of adding a random stranger might be different when everyone is using real names and you feel that you should know them irl to add them.

Small Improvements | Full Stack Developer | Berlin | VISA, ONSITE, careers.small-improvements.com

We're building a SAAS feedback solution for smart companies. Many startups in the Bay Area use it to help their employees give and receive work-related feedback and suggestions for improvement.

We're a team of 12 developers & designers and looking to grow! Perks include no overtime, great and quiet office (team rooms of 3-5 people only), annual company trip to the US to meet clients, 20% time (we call it slack days), solid training budget, conference attendance, and of course a very welcoming and smart team.

Stack: Backend in Java on Google Cloud, Frontend in React (and some Angular leftovers). It's sufficient to be strong on one side of the stack, and have an interest to learn about the other.

We're self-funded and profitable. That's great because no VC is telling us how to do things - but we have to make actual money :)

Tons of details on https://careers.small-improvements.com
For the second time here, I'm not dissing package managers... I even explicitly said the solution is "vetting a package with a high-entry-bar distribution".

But the whole point of high-entry-bar distros is that it's highly curated. Some random script from the web will not be in there. How do you serve those that need to casually distribute trivial software?

There's some answers to that question - they're not widespread at all. It's one of the major failures of package management on Linux. macOS gets it mostly right.
Have you actually compared the same content on a 200 PPI screen vs. a 300 PPI screen? Even though you cannot see the individual pixels, text on a 300 PPI screen appears much sharper (when scaled to be the same physical size, of course).

The "visual threshold" doesn't mean "you will not see anything smaller than this so it cannot physically matter". You can still see a hairline even if it's less than 1/300 inch wide.

Having gone through Dells, HPs, Toshibas, and Apple laptops...

The reason I use MBPs as the reference is because it is still the laptop I enjoy using the most on almost all metrics.

The thinness is nice, a touch thicker to get more battery life would be nice but I use my laptop for several hours unplugged heavily without issue.

The aluminum case feels better than any other laptop I've held. XPSes feel nice, but not like my laptop feels.

The trackpad is excellent. Smooth surface instead of that bumpy stuff on most laptops.

Last-gen Macbook keyboards (pre-butterfly) feel very nice.

I use MBPs as a reference because that's what I mostly want. If I could get a MBP with dedicated GPU and no driver issues for Linux, I'd be pretty happy. Thin things are nice.
In relation to Brexit? I don't think so. It will be much harder for most employees to move to NYC (visa) than Paris/Dublin/Amsterdam/Frankfurt. Also, apart from the Americans that are working here, convincing people to move 500 miles is much easier than to the US.

Banks operating in both countries can of course gradually shift more work towards the NYC office, but I don't think that many companies are looking to relocate whole departments there.
I think that this overall push towards eliminating anonimity and trolls from the internet can only have negative outcomes.

For example, while HN has no real name policy, HN users are generally substantially less anonymous than accounts on Reddit (for example). Many people openly list their personal identity in their profile.
Bay Labs | Software Engineer | San Francisco (Union Square) | Full-time, ONSITE, http://baylabs.io, VISA, C++11, python | email: jobs@baylabs.io

Bay Labs is at the forefront of bringing deep learning advances to critical unsolved healthcare problems. We have assembled an exceptional team of clinicians, engineers and scientists who are developing breakthrough technologies in cardiovascular imaging and care, addressing the largest cause of death in the US. The Bay Labs team brings diverse expertise to the problem of diagnosing and managing heart disease, with leaders in machine learning, visual neuroscience, robotics, and physics. We have teamed up with a network of world class clinical and academic advisors and made remarkable progress in a very short period of time. Current investors in Bay Labs are recognized leaders in venture capital.

1. We wish to find a versatile engineer, who can demonstrate a capability to scientifically develop, benchmark, and validate a wide variety of deep neural network architectures for the purpose of extracting clinically-relevant knowledge from medical images.
2. We are hiring to fill a role that blends data pipeline architect and site reliability engineer. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat operations as if it’s a software problem. If you are a software engineer at heart with ops experience and want to work some craft on deep learning, this role is for you.
LTE uses OFDMA, which has nothing to do with CDMA (no superposition and coding separation). OFDMA is a combination of frequency and time division: time wise, the allocation unit is a subframe of 1 ms (to be compared with a 2G GSM burst duration of 0.577 ms, so not that far) and frequency wise a subframe is made of "resource blocks" (RBs) of 12 subcarriers of 15 kHz each (so 1 RB = 180 kHz total). What's allocated to a device is a set of RB in a subframe, and this is repeated as needed accross subframes in time.

3G used a 10 ms allocation unit, but with HSPA it's been reduced to 2 ms to become more "TDM-like" (it turns out that in real life code superposition is not so good, better split in time and do less superposition: less interference, less power consumption, better results).

I honestly don't know the source of the 2G noise, but from the above it's not as simple as TDM vs. no TDM, as current 3G and LTE both in practice have a time-based allocation component on roughly similar granularity as 2G.
One difference could be the transmission power: 2G can go up to 2W, while LTE is 200 mW maximum so 10 times less. I don't have 3G peak Tx power in mind, but in practice I guess it should be closer to LTE than 2G (interference minimization in a same frequency / reuse 1 network: both LTE and CDMA are reuse 1 deployment, while 2G is not). That will certainly cause a 2G device to have higher power spikes. And I guess the details of the transmit pattern are likely to play a role too.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL JOB HUNTING DURING HOLIDAYS
Job Hunting is not a good idea during holidays; this is just a myth. Holidays are the best time to hunt for great jobs as you have ample of time to update your resume and look for relevant jobs that suit your profile. Companies receive fewer resumes during the holiday season which increases the chances of a strong resume getting noticed. Also, there are certain companies who have a target of filling the open positions before the year ends. Hence, if you have thoughts of finding a new job start your job hunting today!

A sad day for Ars.
It currently doesn't have the infrastructure. I just spoke with some Americans working in London, and while they'd generally prefer Frankfurt over Dublin, there are apparently currently no spaces in the international schools in the area. Sounds like a small issue, but can be significant, especially if you have a lot of people on management level who would need spaces there.

But generally, Frankfurt is perceived very well. Less hostile towards non-French speakers than Paris (subjectively), less remote than Dublin. It's a very small city, but you're quickly in Munich/Berlin/Cologne, which helps.

Why not go to NYC, Singapore or HK?

Because they need an EU base to clear Euros and to maintain passporting rights to any other EU country, once the base is established in an EU country.

For this very reason Zurich (which is arguably the center of private banking) is out of the race. Switzerland is not an EU country.

The real name discussion is as old as the Usenet, maybe even older. I find it strange to see it re-appearing again and again every few years for almost decades.

Back then, the consensus was roughly:

1. If a community accepts pseudonyms, it is polite to use either your realname or an obvious pseudonym.

2. If a community places high value on realnames, either use your realname or a realname-sounding (i.e. non-obvious) pseudonym.

3. Unmasking someone's nonpublic realname, or other private information, is generally considered impolite if not aggressive, regardless whether the community places high value on realnames or not.

Has anything substantially changed since then?
Most of the people I would consider friends are people I haven't met in real life.

And for many years a majority of my friend circle were people I probably never even knew the "real" name of - people in the demo/cracking scene where it was often common for people to introduce you by handle and group (e.g. say Strider of Fairlight, to take a "well known" example from the scene that I spoke to on the phone but back in the day but never met, who I can't for the life of me remember the real name of). Some of these people I'd meet in person regularly and still not use the real name of because their real name was not what people around us would know them by in that context.

My ex goes by three different names: Her "real" name from her passport. An Anglicized name that her immediate family and childhoold school friends uses, and a different Anglicized name that most of her work colleagues and newer friends uses. Many of them don't know the other names.

A lot of people have different names that are used in different contexts that are just as real as the others, just not legally recognised.

> On what grounds do you reject that? Do you have evidence that women and ethnic and sexual minorities are not at increased risk of violence and mistreatment?

The FBI gathers data on bias in crimes[0]; I reject that the issues are specifically "common" in the US because they constitute a small number of the total crimes committed[1] and are taken very seriously (harsher sentences and being racist/sexist has severe social stigma). The article's use of "common" is an attempt at alleged certainty, much like saying "we all know that developers.." to avoid having to actually back the claim.

> The "I can't be bad as long as someone, somewhere, is worse" argument is a classic excuse to get out of ever having to improve anything.

That's not the argument here. It's stating that it's tiring that the US is always singled out as if it's somehow _specifically_ bad. Strong people fought for equal protection of people under the law in the US, so why is it consistently picked as an example over, say, Pakistan or Mauritania? Even if I was to concede that calling someone a "bitch" on Twitter falls under "violence and mistreatment" (as is suggested by the Coral Project's cited source), why should US shoulder all of the blame for the global site?

> I included the postscript because I found it interesting

I replied because I saw your quote contained a possible inaccuracy. When I investigated that specific part, I found contradicting proof of a causal relationship between French Civil Law tradition and corruption. Which is what your quote was implying. I didn't attempt to verify anything else, but I'm highly skeptical.

Either that, or I read wrong and what is being implied with:

> Countries with a French Civil Law tradition, poor protection of shareholder and creditor rights, poor contract enforcement, high levels of corruption, poor accounting standards, restrictive banking regulations, and high inflation tend to have underdeveloped financial systems.

(Emphasis mine.)

is that these are all requirements due to and.

Which further is suggested by the quote hereunder that countries with high income such as France, Germany, and Benelux (all of which are original members of the EEC/EC) are not meant to be included in the list you mentioned.

> In higher income countries, stock markets become more active and efficient relative to banks. There is some tendency for national financial systems to become more market oriented, as they become richer.

But hey, if you want to prove your point feel free to prove -with sources- France, Germany, and Benelux each have:

* Poor protection of shareholder and creditor rights

* Poor contract enforcement

* Poor accounting standards

* Restrictive banking regulations

* High inflation

>With such a rail option you'll have an alternative: by default use container vessel then in case of a problem switch to the rail.

That wouldn't make the rail system a sustainable business because it would only make money when there are problems with sea freight. To be sustainable it needs regular bookings. That's likely to be high value goods where timely and reliable delivery are important.

Also bear in mind these goods are shipped directly to cities anywhere in Europe. For some goods Madrid might be a better hub than any sea port and it's is nowhere near the sea, so sea freight would still need to be transferred to rail or road to get there. That's not such an issue for London, but it's a factor for many of these routes.

Indeed, but they can stipulate other consequences.

This was a huge annoyance of mine for the longest time with Windows 10. 1080P laptop screen with external 4K monitor, everything on the 4K monitor was blurry due to scaling not working properly. Everything fine when just running the external monitor on its own.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, they have finally fixed this in the latest update. No idea why it has taken them so long but it's a huge improvement.
Yes, but there's a significant amount of passenger and freight traffic on the route. I don't know about Eastern Europe and Russia, but the rail system in Germany/Belgium/France/UK is mostly very close to capacity. Freight trains often have to wait till night time to get a slot.
An experience that, I assume, a lot of developers have made: massive amounts of code and a complex systems architecture and when things go wrong it's because of a single line of code or even a single character (< instead of =)!
Pip-tools: keep your pip-based packages fresh
Quick wikipedia yields this:

It has been reported that, for example, when containers are shipped by a "direct train" from China to Europe, it is only containers, and not the railcars, which move from China's railway network to that of Kazakhstan. At the border station at Khorgos, two trains (the Chinese standard-gauge one and the Kazakh Russian-gauge one) would stand side by side at parallel tracks, while the cranes would move the containers from one train to the other in as short time as 47 minutes.
