Its funny, I replaced 2 spot lights in my kitchen with leds and when I use one certain kitchen device (high speed rotation thing) the leds start flickering visibly.
Some of the articles speculate that 4k and 8k are what you'd expect, and that 5k and 10k have the same vertical resolution as 4/8 but a wider aspect ration (probably something closer to that current cinemas use) and that's where the extra pixels are going.

Basically they may not all be the same aspect ratio.

No, not as far as I know.

Management is very different from engineering because there is no objective right or wrong, it is all subjective and all about the feelings of the people around you. Management is essentially a babysitting exercise. If you keep your people from throwing tantrums, having meltdowns, and going against the grain, you succeeded, and if you didn't, you failed.

Peer criticism is thus inherently orthogonal to management because very few people can maturely handle even a mild quantity of criticism. Keeping colleagues and superiors in a good emotional state is even more important for career development than executing your job description in a non-disastrous way.

Directing a business is much different from management, even if some management is required, but even then it's difficult to pinpoint cause and effect because there are so many externalities.

You'd think this would mean that good people who can deftly juggle a ton of variables are attracted to such positions, but in practice it seems that people who are bad at things and depend on having many ambiguous potential causes to diffuse fault over take them instead.

That's definitely the case in management; people who are incapable fall into those positions because their performance can't be definitely measured.
Micropayments would be better and saner. But implementation would require creation of new technical standards by a broad-based coalition of content creators, content aggregators, browser vendors, and financial services.

Depends on how Read() is implemented. Unless the documentation explicitly says otherwise (and it doesn't look like it does), it would be perfectly reasonable for the method to say "this buffer has a size 0, so I can just return immediately without even touching the fd".

Out of curiosity: Can anyone explain to me what the behind the scenes process is with this data? This image came from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and took about 11.5 weeks of observation to collect. Once that 11.5 weeks is up, what do the scientists actually do with it to "process" it or draw conclusions? Is it widely disseminated and people across the world work on it, or is it mostly of interest to the team that started the observation?
> you pay into social security based on the assumption that you'll get benefits when you're older.

No. If you think this is how social security works then you have been tricked.

Social Security is a welfare program for old people.

A better analogy is if you paid for free lunches for kids, then you have a kid and also become poor, but they cancel the program, you'd feel ripped off.

The reason it doesn't intuitively feel the same way (even though it is) is because middle class people have a much higher chance of ever becoming old than ever becoming poor.
While recent PR improvements have made it a lot better, there are still a few things missing that I know of.

For example, if a contributor force pushes a new commit to a PR branch, as a reviewer, I can't see the old version and compare against it. I'd have to tell the contributor to not do that (doesn't work for first time contributors), or always try to manually backup each stage of a PR and compare with locally. This doesn't happen on Gerrit because it tracks the entire history of the change.

Second thing. Once a PR gets large and lasts a while, it's hard to see what is going on, what review comments still need to be addressed, and where new replies are showing up. Consider this PR [0] as an example, can you tell where my "latest reply" was? It's not at the bottom because it was a reply to one of the early inline conversations, and you have to expand all the "Show outdated" links manually to find it.

Those are just a few things off the top of my head, as someone who used PRs and Gerrit. I prefer PRs but I don't think they're viable for a project that takes code quality and code review as seriously as Go does. I do hope PRs get the remaining missing pieces to be able to match Gerrit.

No, it checks for zero-length buffers and returns immediately. You would have to read at least a byte and copy it into a new buffer.

Won't matter much though, as the memory usage of a single goroutine is quite significant and doubling it by having a buffer preallocated is not something to care about.
Yes, this is critical. 99% of companies are run by cogs. It really takes a committed visionary at the top to set the tone for the culture, and at some point, those visionaries have to go away due to retirement, death, etc. There is a 99% likelihood that they will be replaced with another cog when this happens.

We must not become overly committed to a company, because a company is only as good as its people, and people come in and out all the time.

As for your cab ride, because the government of NYC is who people turn to when they have problems with their cab ride and don't get satisfaction from the cab company. Honestly, talking to some people it's like they were living in some free market garden of Eden one day and then government came along and ruined everything. People institute governments to 'secure their rights'; it's your choice to take an oppositional attitude rather than a participative one towards government.

You are the one saying you want certitude about the security of information held by government; why not propose your preferred standard for how data should be released, maybe get some peer security experts to refine it or agree on a suitable candidate, and then promote its adoption by government with an economic argument?

It seems not to have crossed your mind that government failure is often the result of past policy decisions imposed by representatives or the voters themselves on how things should be done, and that they're often mandatory for the people who work in government. They may know a policy or procedure or person's performance is flawed, but lack the legal or budgetary authority to do anything about it. Sometimes inefficient policies are in place as a political payoff to a corporation, union, or individual - corruption is a problem, and legislatures are essentially political marketplaces, and subject to certain failures of markets. Other times inefficiencies are just unintended consequences of well-intended legislation that was poorly crafted, or outlived its usefulness, or conflicting imperatives that lead to legal race conditions.

Try thinking of government as the operating system (or platform if you prefer) of society. It's buggy, bloated, nominally open but actually with a bunch of closed-source stuff in it, some people mine it for exploits or sneakily implement their own, and so on. You have this huge codebase written in multiple languages running on all sorts of legacy institutional hardware, all strung together in a giant embedded system that is supposed to operate 24-7, often under difficult conditions. Oh, and there's bitter disagreement between two factions of developers with radically different ideas about, well, everything.

Refactoring this isn't an easy undertaking. I suggest to you that the problems of government are similar to the problems of a large software project, and involve many of the same sort of trust problems that operating systems do. Consider that there is a relatively small number of successful operating systems/platforms, none of them were built overnight, and they all suffer from various faults and have interoperability issues - some by design, some by oversight. Your black-box approach to government is of limited utility because it's not like you can easily swap it out for a better one.

The US didn't plunder their wealth. It extinguished / concentrated the previous civilizations and created a new civilization in it's place.

Even if the US experienced severe economic, military, and social decline, Illinois isn't going to turn back into the Illiwek Confederation. Those people don't exist anymore.

To put it more simply, America isn't a patchwork of nations and nationalities. Empire's are several nations aggregated into one political union.

If America were in decline, we might lose parts of the southwest to Mexico (due mostly to heavy immigration, not because we stole the land from them), maybe Hawaii, and the colonial territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.).

In a total collapse (post apocalyptic), new nationalities would form, but that takes a long time.
In Mixed-Strategy Nash Equilibria, the amount of unpredictability to use in alpha-beta-like competition games to maximize expected gains assuming a similarly motivated adversary.

In many cases these strategies are dominated by a fully deterministic strategy, or with the mixed-strategy that is highly uneven in its distribution: favoring that one action be taken almost all of the time.

The title taken on face value is flatly wrong but as headlines go it's trying to be cute and attention grabbing. Strategic surprise is a fundamental tool to strategy, but should never be assumed to just work without explicit motivating reasons (be they heuristic or calculated).

Yes I understand the purpose — hence suggesting WriterTo which is supposed to do that — I simply noted that conn.Read(w Writer) would make Conn not extend io.Reader anymore since it takes a buffer.

It's much easier to back away and recharge when you're close to the edge than after you've already fallen off. So you should try and stop falling off if you can. Take a real break after you graduate, if you can, it'll help. Otherwise consider if you can last a few months at a new gig, that ought to supply you with enough savings to take the same amount of time off if not more and then look for a new gig.

I was excited to start working properly after school, regardless of what I worked on, it would be something that mattered enough that I'd be paid for it instead of paying myself. I started interviewing mostly after graduation and while it was stressful (must find a job soon to pay bills, and start paying student loans) I landed one after not too long. I was fortunate that my start date wasn't until a month after acceptance so I was able to chill for that whole month and really unwind after the stress of years of school. Looking back I was telling people during interviews that I was basically available to start "immediately" (because I wanted more money immediately) but I really should have pushed for at least a few weeks lead time before starting in all cases instead of lucking into it.

I recently came back from a 2 week vacation of just chilling, it's lifted a lot of work stress that has been accumulating. But some times I've entertained myself with calculations about how long I could go financially if I quit tomorrow. I even did that at the start more for fun than stress relief, since suddenly every two weeks you're getting a paycheck that covers 3-6 months of expenses if you keep your college lifestyle. It doesn't take long to save up for a year of goofing off and then a couple months of runway to find a job after that.
Oh, well I meant that Uber shouldn't (yet) claim to be public transportation (and they don't). So the idea that are and are not sharing data is a problem isn't true.
A few years ago, I was out of town and needed a wrench to pull my car battery to get at a burnt out headlight ("grr"..., by the way).

I stopped at a local Sears store -- first time in a long time. I found that "Craftsman" was now being applied to essentially multiple lines of product. Top tier "Craftsman" wrenches were still made in the U.S.A. and appeared to have good quality. But there were... IIRC, two "lesser", yet "Craftsman" marked lines. At least one of these was marked Made in China and had the typical hallmarks of inexpensive Chinese manufacture. Nor did the non-U.S.-made tools carry the legendary Craftsman guarantee/warranty.

This past year, I was in an Ace hardware store and noticed on sale a "Craftsman" auto-battery-powered tire pump. "Wait, I'm in... an Ace?", I thought to myself.

It's become apparent to me (my vaguely informed opinion) that Sears has been... well, maybe "diluting" has too specific and different a meaning, in the context of trademarks. But, they've been de facto weakening the "Craftsman" trademark and reputation at least in recent years.

OT, but another Sears "brand" story. I heard by chance encounter this past year from some retired out former Sears managers, that recent sales incentive changes at Sears have actually dis-incentive-ised (?) their salespeople from moving Sears appliances (the Kenmore brand, that has in general long had a strong reputation for good quality/value metrics). Essentially, the commissions on other brands (Samsung, LG, whomever) have been set higher. The Sears salesperson earns more by selling you one of these, instead.

From what I heard from them, this was part of a reorganization that made internal units in Sears competitive with each other rather than cooperative. Essentially, these different elements within Sears were set against each other, to quit significant destructive effect with respect to the organization as a whole.
I'm struggling to find the other article that covers a broader geographic area, it was posted here last year. This one is a ok http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27067615
Hilariously I'm that person who was forced to dig ditches a few times and experienced a mild case of burnout as developer.

In both cases the performance was similar. With earthworks I simply didn't give a damn about the job, so just pecked the ground unenthusiastically. With burnout it was as if petard went off, but instead of earbuzz you get numb to planning, focusing and executing. I actually felt bad about it, but doubt you'd see much behaviour difference from the outside.

So I'd wager the lack of motivation is a serious handicap in both cases. Sure, "anyone can dig a ditch" but I dare you try doing it for a day if you are not into it. Similarly I was already an experienced developer at the point of burnout, and the job at hand wasn't challenging at all.

That makes sense; thanks for clarifying.

I do think the theory elsewhere in this thread about the different spectral distribution could be significant. This is why apparently non-UV blocking sunglasses can make UV damage worse: the pupils open wider when visible light is blocked and so let even more UV in. If you just skew the spectrum of some light source toward the UV without increasing the overall luminous intensity, presumably it could cause some health risks in a similar way.
I'm actually quite aware of this (my partner used to do nursing home placements). But if you're going into a nursing home, the implication is that you will never need those assets again. While I don't agree with this process, it's difficult to argue it is without merit. I suppose if survivors wanted to inherit those assets, they could take on the care of their elderly family members.

It's also worth noting that, in most of the US, the alternative to medicaid was/is filial support laws, in which the nursing home could take the assets of the children of the patients in their care.
Of course you can do anything you want. I'm just telling you the potential repercussions, which include destroying someone else's livelihood. If you are OK with that, fire away. But if everyone did the horrible/harsh things that they are legally entitled to do in this world, we would be in a very bad place.
If you want a good test try doing text editing on 1080p vs. 4k at whatever distance on whatever TV. For me, text is always easily visibly nicer on the 4K. Your PC is not doing any video compression, so you can be sure that everything is pixel perfect in both resolutions, and truly a fair comparison.

It's not just my professional class, though. I've observed this with friends in wildly varying professions - some poor, some very financially successful. But the ones who are down have sort of peaked out on their ambition. Either it's too late for their careers, or they think it is. They have kids hitting adulthood that make them feel like they've failed as parents. It can really suck.

I'd claim Opera (or rather the consortium that now own the Opera browser) have the most experience of reverse-engineering browsers, given Firefox's market-share solved a lot of the site-compat issues a long time before Opera gained market-share (oh, wait, it never did significantly after the rise of IE). On the other hand, almost nobody from the old Presto team is still at Opera, so… ;P
