I keep meaning to write up my experiences with chronic fatigue. I spent a couple of years as a developer working 25-hour weeks because I couldn't manage any more. It's interesting to consider that while few people would ever be hired on such an arrangement, smart employers realise that it can be better to retain part of a person on partial wages than lose them altogether.

And obviously people should realise that the lack of hour restriction on salaried work can be used against them. Stick, on average, to your contracted hours; crunch time may occasionally be necessary but it should be compensated and never normalised.
Regarding LE. It's not like it's a particularly new idea. Look how much our life expectancy has increased in just the last few hundred years. I would imagine that 100 years ago, there were those saying the same thing. That anyone who felt the need to use new-fangled drugs like penicillin were just afraid of a Judeo-Christian afterlife.
Section D, rule 7 seems like it could use some work:

> GitHub employees do not access private repositories unless required to for security or maintenance, or for support reasons, with the consent of the repository owner. [...] If we have reason to believe the contents of a private repository are in violation of the law or of these Terms, we have the right to remove them.

So, basically, GitHub says that there's a possibility for them to remove a private repo because of a hunch that it violates ToS, without actually looking at it to make sure?
Git would do well to copy BitKeeper's nested repository architecture. Unlike Git, a collection of nested repositories (what we call submodules) works exactly like a monolithic repository.
Want to see diffs for your tree? Same command.
Want to check in your changes? Same command.
Want to update your collection? Same command.
Etc.

It's a lot more work than the hack that is submodules (we understand that hack, we did exactly the same thing for years to track outside source drops). But it is worth it, everything just works.

It's full-time pay and yes you need to know how to pace things and schedule.

Getting better at estimates go a long way. The "20 minute" task at the end of the work day that ends up taking 2 hours ... either stop doing that or start being honest that 20 minutes meant 2 hours.

Also know what "corporate time" means. Usually the monday deadlines are dependent on a bunch of other things that are rarely if ever done on that monday. Almost universally things are days if not weeks later than scheduled. Have something to go for the monday, but anticipate the reality based on the client relations ...

Also position yourself from a business perspective. The company is doing X to make a profit. You are there to help fix a problem in achieving X. Orient all your goals only to that - not in fixing any adjacent problems - your customers ultimately don't care, your boss ultimately doesn't care, and if you did that, you just worked for free.
In the tables we show only 2 digits after the dot, but that's easy to change (in code; and later on will be configurable). Never tried to plot sub-second time series, so don't know what will happen - but unlike most platforms, you can modify Redash to support this :)

It's true that it's extra work, but it's a one time investment which you can reuse for all your visualization needs later on.
I think it's not fair to the authors. As you say they are clear about the patterns being examples. However, there seems to be something about the book or maybe patterns in general that make it seemingly impossible for many developers to not look for use cases of these patterns and start using them in cases that don't quite match. I lead a book club at a post employer where we read the GoF. I constantly emphasized that these are examples of how we might reason about OOP and that they are inappropriate more often than not even though you think they are a fit. Yet, of course some people started suggesting them frequently. I think the problem might be that the first part is a support quick read and then you spend a huge amount of time reading the catalog. Once you understand them, you see how nice the patterns are on their own and you want to use them. They are pretty and you've spent time learning them. So it's only natural. It's a beautiful mental trap.
Glad to live in a country that has something close to universal health care. Everybody needs to contribute a monthly share (independent of their condition) which amounts to over 200B per year in total. This seems enough for modern infrastructure, equipment, prophylaxis, medication.

That said, it's not super efficient and the incomes vary greatly between employees with strong lobby groups and laborers covered by legislation only.
I use it obsessively. Currency conversions, fact checking, basic maths, "what's the tip for $20", sending texts, sending WhatsApp messages, making phone calls, "flip a coin", "wake me up at 7", setting timers, "Add to calendar"....

It works wonderfully well. I use it obsessively to the point that people now joke that if you ask me a question I'll simply ask Google about it.
You can't downvote things off the front page, but people can and do abuse the flag button for this.

There's also an algorithmic penalty for "too controversial" topics with too many comments, I believe.
After all, software factories give you interchangeable parts, and let you reuse your code wherever you want!
Seconded. Submodules especially are a tempting feature but never, never, ever work the way you want.

Submodules used to be incredibly buggy and terrible; they've improved in recent versions of Git so now they're merely really bad.
yep.

There's something to be said for reading "a great book" from cover to cover. It is really an investment of time, effort and discipline over many days.

I think people (and I include myself) buy such books often with an aspirational intent, to spend that "perfect" weekend or weekends deeply ensconced in the subject matter and coming out of the reading as a different, better and more skilled person. It never happens that way, of course. We're just trying to re-live some past time as students where the world was an oyster of knowledge. For the most part memories of those days are grossly inaccurate, merely softened into nostalgia by the passage of time.

In reality, many of us behave like monkeys continually zapped by shock-collars just trying to keep up with shit that never works right and always living in a profound deficit of knowledge, while drowning in information.

Still, its good to have books, and worthwhile to take insane measures to get alone-time to read them. The short practical ones are best. Comprehensive reference books are good too because you can read just what you need while ducking from life's flying shit.
Here in the UK the max I have ever heard of is 200mbps in inner cities and everywhere else its basically 10mbps or nothing
In general I would agree, but isn't autonomous warfare a more humane type of war?

We say that robots should take our dangerous jobs. What jobs are more dangerous than a soldier?
How difficult would it be to create a map of worldwide military strikes, not just by the US, but all countries? Where is data like that available? What other countries are so transparent as the US in publishing that data? Do Russia and China? Could be an interesting project that serves the public interest globally. Sort of like crime maps, but at world scale.
All the advice MS gives out just makes Bill Gates richer. When will the world wake up, Bill Gates is tricking people?
I'm very much in favour of shorter working days, but here is one way you can "pretend" to be less sick:

Being sick is not a binary. We've all had days wher we feel like shit but figure we don't feel quite ill enough to stay at home, and so end up taking a couple of painkillers and favourite source of caffeine and end up working.

Presumably the shorter the work day, the more likely you would be to consider it ok to push through it if you feel ill, especially if you have vested interest in demonstrating that a new arrangement like a 6 hour day "works".

I'm not saying they did, but there are many ways they could plausibly sustain something like that for quite a while. The question is whether it is sustainable on a long term basis, or if it would change if/when a 6 hour day is no longer an experiment.
I had a somewhat similar dream where I had an epiphany that everything in the universe is controlled by code, which I had the privileges to edit for some reason. I remember typing some HTML (`<span style="color:red">` and `</span>`) to create these small physical blocks. Slapping the blocks on either side of any object would turn it red!

The UIWebView is an interesting example. They released significant performance advances in the iOS Safari web browser, but denied those features to developers of cross-platform apps on frameworks such as Cordova, artificially degrading the performance of Cordova apps compared to natively developed iOS apps. Both need to go through the AppStore anyway, but keeping as much dev lock-in as possible in terms of the tech used is obviously an interest here.

Add to that the fact that what positive feature development there has been in Safari (e.g. the above-mentioned excellent es6 support in the Technical Preview) has very specifically excluded the addition of any of the APIs that begin to blur the web/native divide (web notifications, userMedia, service workers, &c.)
Not code specifically, but I sometimes dream about humans in some form of "modular" sense. Like if their feelings would be contained in one class/part of a program, or their torso would be accessed via methods or something like that.

As someone else mentioned, it's likely the tetris effect. I had a similar feeling while playing the game "triple" town where you want to match three bears items next to each other, I kept seeing items and people in terms of "are they next to each other" while walking around (especially when a bit of alcohol was involved).
Apple sold a record breaking amount of tbMBPs in the quarter since its release.

The HN echo chamber is strong, but its silly anecdotes don't reflect reality.
>Do 100% of "box office receipts" go to the production company? Or is a portion of that overhead for the theater showing the movie?

Not 100% but a pretty high percentage given how much work the distribution & theatre companies do.

But you'd also have to account for DVD/VOD/streaming/tv rights that movies also get aside from just theatre.

It very well might be. My feeling was just more or less: I don't love JSON syntax or the tendency towards big, hierarchical JSON documents overmuch (though it's certainly been a massive real-world improvement on XML for most of the overlapping use cases I'm familiar with), so describing transformations on data in it sounds likely to be unpleasant.

Perhaps one of these decades I will actually learn a Lisp.
Stackexchange published their database dump, so there were not engineering at all :)
I've tried GitLab before and wasn't too impressed. Gogs looks interesting, it looks like it might just be a single binary file like fossil which would be nice, all I had to do on windows is add the location of the single binary to the path and on linux I just had to move it to my bin folder and wham it works. I've been really happy with fossil so far so not looking to switch anytime soon, gogs certainly looks interesting
It's not stealing, it's unauthorized copying. And I'm pretty sure retail end-user pirates don't go to jail.

In any case, the moral argument doesn't appear to work. People just don't care.
I've dreamt extensively about deep learning.
I used to pay for a hulu subscription, because even with a few ads it was really convenient. Now, there are less of the shows I want to watch, and the ads are absolutely, insultingly ridicululous. It will seriously play 10 minutes of ads in 5 minute increments for a 20 minute show. Every ad block is now 3 advertisements long, some of them require you to interact, and every show has at least 3 breaks for ads. Sometimes it'll run ads AFTER the show ends so you watch ads to see the credits, or in order to see the next episode! They have literally made streaming worse than regular TV and after this weekend I finally had enough and just installed Kodi.
No--streams, I believe. (As in, video served from a web server)
Ask HN: Are certifications like GIAC GCIA/GCIH worth the effort?
since there isnt that many places out there for training on Incident response and Network Intrusion analysis skills.
are the GIAC GCIA and GIAC GCIH in demand ?
would they be useful for someone with only IT/sysadmin experience to get into the Cyber security field?
Wagon was such a great tool. Shame their acquisition took it away.

Colleagues who used wagon have said good thing about http://datamillapp.com/ - which I guess is trying to be the spiritual successor to Wagon
I'm surprised no one mentioned 3rd party audience lists. It's more than likely in this case you used your credit card at the restaurant and this data was passed to a data service like DLX or Neustar, which Campari will pay a fee to get audience lists such as: Datalogix » DLX CPG » Alcohol Beverage Buyers » Spirits or AdAdvisor Audiences powered by Neustar » AdAdvisor Consumer Audiences » Alcohol (Restricted to Best Practices) » Consumption Location » Liquor-Where Consumed-Restaurant

As to why Campari specifically, that could just be a coincidence. Have you seen other alcohol ads lately?

I think there's some value in showing how design needs to be defined by usability and not the other way around. I agree the point could have been made in way less words, but there's something extremely useful in learning to thinking about user first and not many books that talk about that.

Like, the kitchen top example, which is best summarized with two pictures:

I find topology influencing brain patterns being a fascinating topic.

I think it suffers a little from the Seinfeld effect, where it was completely original at the time but created enough of a following that it seems derivative when you go back to it.
I would be curious to hear some opinions from people here on The Outline, both in terms of design and content. I was really pumped for its launch, which happened in late 2016 (maybe November?), but in the time since I've only occasionally used it (less than weekly). This is in contrast to NPR, Hacker News, and news-twitter, all of which I check several times per day.
If you look at it, the change that was most attributed to the slow down, was committed on October 2016.

Why could the people making an issue about the 0.5 us slow down per request not have tested or ran a benchmark sooner?
I guess. I'm more curious about "rocket science" specifically.

The applications, outside of Space X (and friends), are still being figured out.

So for non-human flight, it's kind of like where drones were about 5 years ago. It is possible, it's expensive, regulations are unknown but there is a huge potential that seems to be there.

However, no one seems to be able to quantify it.

Also, the costs are quite hight, as things stand right now, to launch a satellite into orbit.
Oops. Thanks for comment, will fix it asap
>Yet now both parents must work for the same (or worse) house.

That isn't true. Houses built in the 1960s that have only had basic maintenance done to them are available and they are a lot cheaper than newer houses. It turns out most people don't want to live with a house that looks like the 1960s. People like bigger kitchens and houses when we can afford them. Once the house gets a little bigger we like to see things like brick on the front (I'm not sure if this is styles changing or a longer term pattern of people deciding the houses of 1990 are big enough and now we want pretty not more space).

The result is perfectly nice houses in old neighborhoods are available for cheap if you are willing to live in them.

Despite the above I recommend you not buy those old houses: they are not energy efficient and so either heating/cooling will eat your paycheck or you will spend a lot fo money in upgrades you won't get back.
Do they mean to say BSD?
This is from 2011, but it should give you an idea: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/processor-architecture-b... .

tl;dr: Core i7-2600k @ 3GHz, is about 2,67x faster than a Pentium 4 HT 660 (Prescott ua) @ 3Ghz. In the benchmark they tested single core, and equal clock, to keep everything as level as posible.

As for single core performance, Kaby Lake would be between 30 to 40% better than Sandy Bridge (which could be called the peak improvement architecture in the Core i brand), so it'd be about ~3,5x faster than the Prescott based chips.
The difficulty is thermal. Microwave stuff operates in linear region, extremely fast and often extremely inefficient. Logic stuff almost always operates in saturation mode where its very slow but efficient. Old timers will remember emitter coupled logic ECL which went to great efforts to operate in linear mode at amazing power use, like 100 MHz IBM mainframes needed water cooling back when 2 MHz Z80s were considered fast. You could make something like ECL circuits using modern ICs but the thermal load would be like the surface of the sun and its cheaper to break the problem down into 10000 parallel processes that to make some kind of ECL.
True, but I believe a lot of both Facebook's and Twitter's dev culture comes from ex-Google employees. So there could still be some groupthink going on. (Alternatively, a victory for successful ideas?)

Indirect evidence: both of them released open source clones of Google's proprietary build system "Blaze" -- Facebook's "Buck" and Twitter's "Pants". Google was actually last to the party, with "Bazel".
Do you ever speed? Did you ever drink before legal age? Most people [citation needed] think of pirating a song or a movie as being on that level, if at all.
The problem wasn't in proving this particular number was prime, it was finding a large prime number to begin with. I don't know what the state of the art was back in the day, but 32 bits would certainly have been too large for the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
This makes the most sense to me. Also something along the lines of "people who visit this place search for the phrase 'campari' so it must be a thing here."

I definitely seem to be served ads based on recent locations.

I find surprising that Basecamp doesn't have an endless stream of Rails fans from where to pick one up.
Zero-day movies are nearly always CAMs or TS. They are a terrible experience.

Streaming or downloading a full 4k version would mean I'd probably never go to the theater again (and I go roughly 12 times a year).

Some people would still go for the social experience / big screen, but a lot less frequently. I bet most theatres would have to shut down.
Ok, I recognize I've violated community norms by suggesting that this is a troll. I retract that. But what possible grounds might somebody have for saying that recursion is "forgotten". Proof by induction is highschool math -- doesn't the recursive approach naturally suggest itself for a lot of problems? I write Python all day, so stack frames are pretty expensive and I usually talk myself out of it.

And goto? "X considered harmful" is a pervasive meme. Does anybody really not know that X was originally goto?

And eval? Even if your language doesn't support it, surely the idea is obvious? "Man, I sure could get out of this tight spot if my program could write another program and evaluate it!"

Am I living under some kind of weird rock, where I find the suggestion that these are forgotten language constructs deeply disturbing? Come on, internet! Argue with me! I'm feeling punchy.
Either he's right about machine learning, or this is exactly the kind of thing bubbles are made of.
Young female voices. Flustered and looking for help. Apparantly no males in the area, certainly no male voices in earshot. These recordings tap into some base instincts within the mostly male scammers. I suspect that a recording of my voice wouldnt keep them on the line nearly as long.

But for these scammers i'd go with something more targeted: old people. Thier prefered prey is flustered old people who dont understand computers. Give them an old woman with bad hearing who mumbles about her internet not working. Then toss in a few "do you take visa" and some random numbers. That will keep them on the hook.
On iOS, Apple is going to do it's own thing and that's that.
Pass the release flag when you build loc; `cargo build --release`.

I see ~5 seconds for loc and ~34 seconds for loccount to count a freshly cloned linux repository.

edit: woops, that was user time. These both spin all the cores. loc takes ~0.7 secs and loccount ~6.6 secs real time.
Get a projector a and a dozen or two bulbs and prepare for the technological winter.
I don't think you'd need to. I expect you'd be able to run the core very fast for a number of milliseconds before having to switch.

If performed at the hardware level, you may also get some improvement by having the core push its register and low level cache state directly to the next processor, rather than have them pull the data through shared cache or RAM. Unlike a typical context switch, the process is not being resumed from idle, but has an active cache state.
