This. Exactly this is the problem with semi-popular Free Software projects, and what annoys me most with almost-but-not-quite unmaintained projects.

It is really no problem if somebody's time is limited. But it is a problem if they don't delegate properly, and thus make it very hard for volunteers to assist them, or to even take over when the time arrives.

It's not so much about doing not enough work, it is about preventing others from coordinating their work on it.

Unfortunately, many people don't notice that they are actually doing this. They try to review more and more contributions, work starts piling up, but they link their problem is missing time, while it really is missing trust.

Also, this transition is much easier when you still have some time. When you arrive at a state where don't have any time at all, it is really hard to perform proper delegation, and one or two (hopefully not too much uncoordinated) forks are they only way for the community to reorganize.

Git could have been written with a pluggable hash system, but for something that needs to be changed let's say once every ten years, is the up front cost really worth it?
It's just a tool. Don't connect aesthetics or morals with its production.
Most German companies will NOT consider going through a visa process for somebody not already in the country and working for named company. Plenty of people out of work from all over Europe so why would an employer hire a Brit when they can hire another EU passport holder (already in the country and often speaking the language even).

If you use a strong hash with say 256 bits, it's not a weak point. Random collisions are less likely than cosmic rays flipping bits in your programs and unless you don't believe in strong cryptography attackers can't do much better.
How hard is it to introduce a global constant for the number of bits in your hash instead of writing char hash[40] everywhere?
Rik Willard, Agentic Group, on blockchain and financial inclusion
I've learned that, when coming to the US from Europe, if I can't get a direct flight, I prefer my change to be in Canada. This way, I can pass immigration on the Canadian airport, while I'm idling between flights anyway. Also, the one time I did it, there was almost no queue (in Toronto).
No, it is not a typical ratio. Bootcamps often have cohorts where there are 10 percent or even fewer women. For a bootcamp to have 40 percent ratio is impressive and unusual. Also - remarkable for all women to have a job at graduation. The bootcamp described sounds very unusual and the numbers are so very different from industry standard - that I encourage anyone reading to do their own research.

Fair enough, the universal basic income would not work in a number of countries that are either failed states on one side or authoratarian on the other, but much of civilization, including the developed world, falls in the zone where this program might work and is at least worth testing. I accept your premise that this can't work unless some minimum conditions are met.

Given that, do you toss the whole idea or do you think it could work in places like Kenya and the United States?
Composing OS Extensions Safely and Efficiently with Bascule [pdf]
Cool idea. Thanks for news!
Which part of 'this is a foundation on which change-tracking and callbacks will be added as opt-in features' didn't you understand? It's a DOM and it's virtual, hence a virtual DOM.
If you think the automation is good, I guess one of the reasons is because it improves efficiency, then why to incentive a company to hire more humans?

Should a company be also subsidized by the government if it's reducing work accidents and reduces energy consumption(when introducing automation)? That subsidies would need to be payed by taxes from companies and citizens.

In my opinion the solution should not be to employ humans when a machine can do the job more efficiently, and introducing a new tax it could counter incentivize a company to introduce automation and that's exactly the opposite of whats desired. Since to introduce a new technology requires an investment and therefore risks for the company owners.

I think that once it is reached a point that it generates net unemployment, something that has not been the case for previous industrial revolutions, people should be able to reach products and production capacity at lower costs, so to be able to make a living being employed less hours.
For me it was rather simple: Do sprints

Most companies already adopted basic sprint structure with Kanban or Scrum. So if you work from home, you don't have to change much.

The sprints basically tell me what needs to be done in the short term/2 weeks and I need to work through it.

The article seems to be more about how to get a nicer working environment. Since I work from 3 different flats, I don't have much control over most things mentioned there.
In Web development maybe. But I've seen very few programmers in deeper areas (backend, system engineers etc.) without some kind of formal CS education.
Quote: "Our proposal is a new type of paper for animal studies of disease therapies or preventions: one that incorporates an independent, statistically rigorous confirmation of a researcher's central hypothesis."

This probably won't happen right away, but it's a terrific and necessary idea that we need to to move forward. It will revolutionize biology and medicine, and it will end the field of psychology as we know it.

That's nonsense. It's illegal to discriminate based on gender.

Your idea of a "make good" policy doesn't align with the laws nor does it make sense to punish people that have nothing to do with any prior discriminations made against the group you are advocating breaking the law for.
Ruby on Rails 5.1.0 Changes and New Features
+1. The one on the Haber-Bosch process is heartbreaking.
That's not good enough though if you need to work with repositories that were made with previous releases. Just converting them is one thing, but what if you need to stay compatible indefinitely.

And what about old releases that encounter a new repo?

And what about URLs and emails that reference commit hashes? Think archives of mailing lists that suddenly become useless unless there's a way to keep both hashes around.

Yes. These are all solvable problems (maybe not the old-release needing to handle new-style repo gracefully), but the complexity is much higher than upgrading a global constant.
the table is so small you don't actually need to decode varints. any serious application needing speed would build a lookup table for all the common values -- in fact we will. size does matter. speed does matter.
> Regarding your point 2 - have you been to an Ikea recently?

No, I haven't. Thanks for the update!

> about the look, well, that's just subjective taste, isn't it?

I think I wasn't clear enough. I don't complain about quality/look: what I don't like is the standardisation! As soon as you see something from IKEA, you know it's from IKEA.
I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Safari has one year release cycle for major versions. IE isn't getting new features, but Edge is updated much more frequently than IE ever was.

Interruptions from calls, administrative overhead, self-employment tax, and health insurance costs.

If at all possible, bill out jobs instead of hours. If you absolutely have to bill per-unit-time, choose as large a unit as you can get away with. Per-hour may work for attorneys, but when you have to watch the clock on every little thing as a developer, everyone loses.

Unless you are old, do whatever you can do to minimize self-employment tax. It's currently over 15%, and it's for a retirement system most of us will never get a dime out of.

If you have trustworthy people you can lean on for things like advertising, accounting, sales, etc., hold on to them for dear life and pay them fairly. The more you are able to double-down on your strengths, the better.
> recount their day's work and the problems they've encountered

Damn... I never thought of this. Great idea.
> People who do that with great docs etc get a lot of respect.

That's the issue. Publishing run-of-the-mill negative results right now doesn't get you much of anything.

I would love to live in a world where hiring committees and funding agencies say "Well, 3/5 of his experiments flopped, but we looked at the papers and they were all carefully thought out and well-run. Hire him/give him some cash!" Alas, I don't.

The article even says, "We trust that reviewers and tenure committees will find appropriate ways to credit papers that include confirmation." The issue is that needs to come first for anything to happen.
IKEA does something similar to the Vitsoe called ALGOT -- probably not as fancy looking, but pretty neutral and versatile. You can buy sets or you can buy it in individual pieces and customise to your heart's content.

Just yesterday I put up some ALGOT shelves in my bedroom, and I'm planning a much more elaborate install in my home office too.
I've seen Nim pop up a couple of times now. Perhaps I should go check it out (and this Kotlin thing too). Thanks for the leads :)
I'm not sure why this is posted here.

There are lots of problems with the NHS, but this tragic case appears to be about a single bad doctor. I'm surprised at the weakness of the regulatory action. I would have expected some mention of training about collaborative working.

The article does mention a particular problem: colleagues felt unable to challenge this doctor.

There's a lot of work going on in the NHS to tackle this problem. There's "graded assertiveness" which is being pushed pretty hard at the moment.
It's understandable - their names in their respective languages is "Slovenija" and "Slovensko" which is relatively similar. Tougher still is discerning Slovenia and Slovakia in spoken Czech or Slovak - "Slovinsko" vs "Slovensko" - though context tends to help here :)

Example: Like you want to predict the app downloads of your website coming week. Just upload the data in time series format against the date and app downloads from last 30 weeks. It will return the next 7 days predicted app downloads along with the analytical confidence.
It can predict any KPI like visitors, app downloads, conversion etc. Just signup and start predicting.
Do you believe, Virtual reality can replace real world?
actually it's just a interesting point about our product. what we tried to say and share is that actually rakam is great product to analyze everything and flexible.

do you have alternative suggestions?
TCP makes a lot of sense for HTTP, since once you strip of the HTTP headers on the request and response HTTP is basically just TCP: A continuous bidirectional stream of bytes in both directions. If you want to rebuild that with all it's properties (flow-control, ordered and reliable) you rebuild half of TCP anyway.

The CoAP protocol for embedded devices tries to achieve HTTP semantics on top of UDP. But it's a lot harder to implement correctly, especially if you want to support large request payloads. And I think it isn't easier to load balance or proxy then the TCP based HTTP, since it's also not sufficient to look at a packet header but you would also need to parse and keep around the whole request response states between packets - only now the state is no longer associated to a TCP connection but to a plain UDP socket which must handle dozens of parallel requests.

Exactly. I wish Mender was around 4 years ago. I built exactly this!
There are 4 - one each for Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. They're all slightly different.

The English NHS is just about to go through a lot of change because of cuts. The "Sustainability and Transformation Plan" programme will push for a lot more prevention and self care, and less use of hospital treatment.

It's a bit worrying.

If you have an illness and want to see what the English NHS thinks your treatment should be you can check NHS Choices (also available in Spanish because Mexico got the rights to use it so long as they translated it) and NICE.

I'm not sure what you mean by "philosophical differences"?
If you never get a positive result then you're probably just not good at science. Also I can't imagine any scientists who gets up and tries to fail everyday.

However, they're still advancing knowledge. Just because your experiment doesn't work doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile.

If you publish your failure then future researchers don't have to waste their time walking down the same path.
But I need to get a job at one of the big tech companies, and so I need to show them I can do deep learning.
Some things I noticed about the proposed protocol:

- It's not clear how data is encrypted. I don't see a client key being generated. It will be very difficult to do this right without using something like TLS. Are the keys just sent over an unencrypted channel?

- The connect token should contain the client's IP address, so the server can verify the same IP that got the token is trying to connect. This prevents someone from using a valid token for reflection attacks.

There is positive correlation between applied math and programming. I see expertise in these areas coupled with a knack of getting a point across as a potential career opportunity. No wonder academics in some parts of Asia have, for generations, seen math as “evergreen.”

I don't know how to get the intraday data from Google, do you also get 50 days, quotes, trades, volumes traded...? There is some useful info in the reuters.com page linked from google. But still there are so many things that are not there. There is only very basic financial info, and I don't think you get it in google finance within minutes of it being published. Of course you could read the press release for free. And read every filing from the company yourself, and every filing from any related company, and from any asset manager who might have a relevant disclosure. And then you you can process all that data to put it in a comparable format. All for free!
Foundations for a house isn't a house
Are you using a dev kit to develop or using the client board? This is a pretty salient piece of information. If you don't have a dev kit, order one immediately. Microchip's kits are pretty cheap- make sure to get the in circuit debugger too if you don't already have one.
I always get nervous when passing US border checks.

Once I got asked how many times have you been here, I replied that this is my second time (thinking he means San Francisco), but he said: "It says here that you were in the US 3 times". That really got me nervous, I wouldn't like to get turned away and look for a flight back home.

Do they think that a poor guy at the border can recognize a skilled terrorist? What they do is scare the hell out of ordinary people.
What people usually want is all the bells and whistles of TCP without the occasional huge latency spike introduced by the guaranteed ordered packet delivery to the application layer.

Unfortunately, all the alternatives (SCTP etc etc) seem to have foundered, probably due to aggressive filtering by border routers/firewalls making it impossible for alternative protocols to gain traction.
"The answer is that although the chip ran three times as fast and used half the electrical power as clocked counterparts..."

I thought another advantage was that it modularized chip design to some degree - ie you can improve individual sections to run much faster, without having to make the entire chip run at that speed - http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Computing_Without_Clocks....

In any case in a similar vein is TTA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_triggered_architectu...) which I think Ivan Sutherland was also involved in, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

I'll have to check that out, thank you!
Just a remark: You can use the websocket spec to emulate TCP behavior, which means get a stream instead of messages: Send only one giant message (payload set the maximum) and use Continuation frames to stream new chunks of data to the other side. FIN will be only set once the stream has finished.

The downside: A lot of websocket APIs (and most especially the one in the browser) don't support this and will only send/receive complete messages. Which means if you want streaming support you better implement it as a layer on top of messages, since it works everywhere.

It's a little bit sad that the websocket spec is complicated through the continuation frame feature while in reality noone has a reason to use it.

And back to the question: The masking "feature" of websockets is also there to prevent browsers from speaking raw TCP. Without it Javascript could craft exact TCP payloads, which might in certain situations be used to directly talk and manipulate internal services. The masking guarantees that the remote on the TCP connection will get some random data after the websocket header.
I'm not sure it would be cause for pitchforks if true. Immigration officers in general tend to act aggressive and ask weird questions as some sort of attempt at behavioral screening. Canada only cares that tourists have enough money to leave and don't plan to work, but the last time I went, I got asked why there was mud on my car. Seriously.
The MIT Lisp Machine was basically a RISC architecture with an extra instruction to do multi-way switch, it ran an interpreter for the higher-level Lisp instruction set on top of this.

If you're implying that the technically literate are either better or worse in this respect (or even just differently distributed), you might want to back that up with some arguments. Maybe you tried to say something else but otherwise I don't see the point of this remark.

Turbolinks’ lifecycle explained
A DOM refers to the programmatic interface (the Object Model), as distinct from the web browser's textual (Text Markup) interface. If the difference isn't clear, consider pre-JavaScript browsers: they rendered HTML with no DOM at all.

This project goes through the text interface, so "virtual HTML" might be more apt than "virtual DOM."
I'm not sure you ought to be placing all the blame on the scientists: "He that pays the piper calls the tune."

When you rent, you are also paying interest on a loan--just not your loan. Unless you think that only 100% paid-for properties are rented out, or that property owners rent out their property for less than their own monthly payment.

Yes leverage is just a tool. The point is, a mortgage creates leverage and it's silly to ignore that when thinking about return.

> The longer you go in your career, the less people care which school you went to because you have a work history that people can use to more accurately judge your productivity.

This is speculation by you. Again: note how many resumes keep college on them.

> For most jobs, if you've already worked in the industry for 10 years, the salary you'll receive is roughly the same with and without a college degree, and the difference is even less between "good" and "bad" colleges. The earnings over career is a red herring, where right out of college, you get an initial salary boost.

This is self-contradictory unless you think that salaries for people with degrees grow more slowly than for people without degrees.
When I designed fingerprint (https://github.com/ioquatix/fingerprint) I allowed multiple checksums, which means you CAN migrate from one checksum to another pretty easily. However, I didn't use a Merkle tree in the initial design and so I hope to revisit it at some point to improve it.

It should be trivial to add an additional checksum to git. Not to replace how SHA1 is currently used, but to add essentially per-commit checksum, which is a checksum of the entire commit contents (including the checksum of the previous commit). It wouldn't be as elegant as using SHA256 in place of SHA1, but at least you could, with some effort, validate the source tree in a cryptographically secure way.
Just a nitpick: gold is not going to grow your wealth, it will preserve your wealth. One ounce of gold is worth about a loaf of bread every day for a year. That was true in the time of King Nebuchadnezzar (600 BC), and is roughly true nowadays.

Nobody has been so preoccupied with a VR game that that they flung the controller into the TV yet.

My retired dad tried the Vive tutorial where you can blow balloons using the controller, then hit them with your hands. He was so excited he tried to kick the balloons... And almost broke a chair.
