This is why it is important that you monitor your stress level and eventually just say "stop." Yes you may miss due dates, plans, and even make some people angry, but at least you don't die. I realize this is not always possible, but the "can do (everything)" attitude is not always the right one.

Also, having a surgery while being awake? Not sure how to think about that. I mean just imagining that makes me feel weird.
This article doesn't really go into what the title suggests so much as it explains that we prefer languages for different reasons. The author talks about several of her students that chose not to use their native language to write because of their negative associations with the language.

"For me, language was a kind of initiation into multiple realities."

This is how I feel about learning a second language. I feel that I'm opening a door to a land of adventure that had previously been closed.

GitHub is on the list, but took vc money in 2012
Half the cashier's job is automated (tallying is managed by scanning in the items, payment is handled by using the customer facing CC machine; they only handle cash, checks, and manual entry of produce). Bagging is often handled by cashiers, customers, or dedicated baggers. Baggers are cheap, the only skill required is to know not to put eggs beneath a half-gallon of milk (though many seem not to know this anymore). Cashiers cost more because you have to trust them.

Handling cash can be handled by automatic machines (as evidenced by the many self-checkout systems) with one person dedicated to 4-8 checkout stations to assist with issues, check customer IDs, etc.

It's not that they're useless, but cashiers' utility is greatly diminished these days with automation reducing the skill, trust, and number of personnel required.

Metaprogramming in Shen: a short introduction
What is a long time? I came to the US in 2012 and haven't been to a doctor since. Not going to lie, the $ sign is a deterrent.

But I am moving back to Europe this year so I will go to a doctor there and get all checked up etc.
Ive seen some enterprise level voip providers in the UK not only provide clients with VOIP systems either on site or a cloud PBX, but also a dedicated leased ADSL line. Usually 2mbps both up / down (They say this is good for about 20 concurrent users). They also connect the the line directly to their voip server, so it dosnt have to make multiple hops.

Never tried one in practice though. We run our voip over our main 200mbps down, 15 up fibre connection. Have QOS and VOIP prioritisation setup on the router, SIP ALG off etc. Seems pretty good, but as you said, if you know what to look for you can always tell your on a voip call.
Yet another reason for me to continue a divorce from Google. I may even leave Gmail at this point. So far, I have switched to Duck Duck Go for searches, switched to Chromium, use NewPipe instead of the YouTube app, and have disabled all Google software on my phone. I will still have to use Docs at my work, but my personal life will be almost free of Google when I get a viable alternative to Chromecast. I just can't continue to support a company that has morphed itself into Ballmer-era Microsoft and actively tries to destroy the web with abominations like AMP.
How did you realize it was a heart attack? Did you go to the doctor and have them check it out?
I'll shoot you an email.
wonder what they were thinking when they hired Jon Rubinstein. Why hire someone with consumer electronics background and no financial background in the first place? I worked with Apple before and I'm very disinclined to believe that their success had much to do with their tech.
We use Vidyo: https://www.vidyo.com/

It has the ability to simultaneously screenshare (for a presentation) and have a webcam on. There's a group chat feature for questions, too. The room admin can mute participants if you want to hold "live" questions for the end.

I wasn't sure of the maximum number of participants but have routinely been in calls with dozens of people with good performance, including in meetings with folks from both US and Australia (and US/UK).

It's a bit hidden, but if you scroll to the bottom here under "2017 VidyoCloud Service Description," the PDF there says limits are 100 participants for the "Team Plan," and 200 for the "Enterprise Plan," with the ability to buy extensions up to 500: https://www.vidyo.com/cloud-video-conferencing-service

I haven't used the mobile client (iOS/Android) personally, but it's seemed to work decently well for my coworkers.

Not sure of the cost of the different plans, but I've been quite satisfied with it as a full-time remote dev.

I can't help but be skeptical of things like this... historically speaking, humans tend to underestimate just how many things we do that require full "general intelligence" to make "common-sense" decisions. Despite recent advances in machine-learning (i.e. adding more layers to neural networks, i.e. adding more columns to a matrix), we don't really have anything that even approaches an artificial general intelligence. What we do have is a suite of sophisticated statistical algorithms that basically perform regression using huge data sets. This often approximates some subset of what a general artifical intelligence could do for some use cases that mostly apply to recognizing fuzzy patterns. But it's not even close to approaching human-level intelligence.

In general, modern machine learning has focused mostly on the "pattern recognition" aspect of intelligence derived from statistical algorithms, while making little significant progress with other key aspects associated with higher cognitive processes such as general reasoning, planning and creativity (apart from simplistic rule-based approaches like decision trees, or highly domain-specific problems like using massive data sets to teach a computer to play Go.)

I don't doubt that something close to general AI will eventually seriously threaten human usefulness/dignity, but I question the timeline of "decades away".
I'm not sure I like it. Maybe I'll get used to it.

There's been a few css changes on Github lately that I've noticed, like the menu bar at the top going dark and the fixed navbar in profiles.
Heap | Software Engineer | San Francisco | REMOTE https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

Heap is building analytics infrastructure for web and mobile. Unlike other tools, which require you to manually instrument code, Heap captures all user actions automatically, and then lets you answer questions retroactively. Instead of writing a bunch of new tracking code every time you want to answer a question, the data is already in Heap waiting to be analyzed.

As an engineer at Heap, you will work on our in-house distributed system that ingests billions of events a week and processes queries over 100s of terabytes of data in seconds. To learn more about our distributed system, see our talks at PGConf [1] or our recent blog post on how we index our data [2].

We have a small eng team made up of 13 engineers, nine in San Francisco, and four scattered around the globe.

Our interview process consists of a one hour technical phone interview, a three hour takehome problem, and a full day onsite in which you'll build a fake-but-plausible Heap feature.

We enjoy talking to everyone who interviews, so please apply: https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

Moat | Engineers, PMs, Designers | NYC, SF, Sydney, London | FULLTIME, ONSITE

We're an ad analytics startup that's been roughly doubling in size every year for the past 4 years. We have products in two areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics measures content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Most new ad deals require third party measurement and for many of the top brands and websites, Moat's metrics are the go-to. We were one of the first companies to begin measuring ad viewability and we helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry. We handle over 19 billion impressions a day and tackle large scalability problems every day.

2) Search

Moat Search tells you who's advertising where online. We give advertisers, publishers and other adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem (kind of like the Bloomberg of the ad world). Our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar companies or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

It's great to work here! I've been here for about four years and everyone's really talented and the problems are interesting.

We recently raised $50M and we're still growing very quickly: https://www.wsj.com/articles/moat-raises-50-million-to-help-...

We're hiring pretty much across the board - engineers, PMs, designers, recruiters, etc. Both technical and non-technical openings can be found at http://moat.com/jobs.

The interview process involves a short coding assignment, 1-2 phone interviews and onsite.

Questions? Email me at rodrigo.menezes <at> moat.com
I doubt my opinion is the 'correct' line but:

That there are speculative and probably marginal upsides to basing policies on this premise and there are concrete and known downsides to not do this (Jim Crow laws, Eugenics programs have been largely judged as abominations rather than successes).

Which is to say whether or not different populations have different (and I mean different as in different, not linearly better or worse) cognitive abilities may be true without being actionable or useful.
It's great that we have access to ancient and historical genomes. Because of the development of medicine we've probably accumulated a lot of random mutations in our present-day genomes and at some point we'll need to identify them.
> And they're not receiving the support from the society that they should. When you take away someone's ability to support themselves because there are new, more efficient ways of using the shared resources, they're entitled to compensation

What do you suppose is fair compensation for being replaced in that fashion? I think this is more complicated than just touting that we deserve basic income. Does an able-bodied person who chooses to not work deserve the same income as someone who is handicap and cannot work? And then the question arises of what amount of income is deemed sufficient?

In an age where income inequality is more of an issue than before[1], does someone on a basic income government program deserve as much as someone who obtained a degree and has a low paying job[2] (the averages here seem to be ~$35k for a low paying job. Keep in mind that the poverty level is about $16k[3] for a family of 2). How do you pay people on a basic income government program enough for a livable situation without making it unfair for people who are working for maybe just double the poverty limit?

It's very possible. In EMS I meet folks that have been in having a heart attack for quite some time, it's not always dropping down like a rag doll you see on TV (though many times it is).

My dad did the same thing, one day he had some chest pain that he thought was related to something he ate. Drove a semi truck around for about 6 hours, decided to come home early. He came back to the shop, parked his truck and called my mom and said he had indigestion like he'd never experienced, and they went to the doctor. Turned out to be a full-on heart attack he'd been feeling the last 8 hours.

I guess that's a long way of saying listen to your body. Generally, it's trying to tell you something, and if feels just a little off, get checked out. Could definitely save your life.
I find it baffling that you'd assume morality is at all involved in this for those who subscribe to the more nationalist / anti-immigrant / anti-outsourcing ideas.

It's about money.

If I'm an American developer, I want as few developers to be available so that my wages rise.

If I'm BigCo, I want as few competitors selling the same products so that my prices can rise.

What's hard to understand about why people would support these types of movements?

It's as simple as "I want more money and I don't really care about other people who's lives I'm not experiencing."
So let's talk about handtools.

Clearly some people value this. I know people that go to garage sales just to get vintage better made hand tools. So clearly there is some kind of demand for this.

Why do we not have a hand tools startup come in, and offer 1960s quality hand tools for a price premium? Choices are:

1) They literally cannot be made today. Say the type of steel is different, or there is some physical reason they cannot be built.

2) They can be made, but the price is so high - not enough people would pay for it, and the company would go under.

3) This is a ripe opportunity, and we just need a startup to come along an exploit it.

I am going to rule 1 out without more proof. So down to 2 choices. How much are people will to pay for really nice hand tools? 2-5x the autozone tools price?
It seems that you can't use touchscreen while docked. So it will stay unused because games won't rely on it. Apart from games that have different gamplays for indoor/outdoor (pokemon switch?)
VoIP isn't getting better because vendors are not willing to delay output for better UX.
Not really the same at all. The proxies were buggy and that time Google rolled back the change.
That first paragraph would still be strangely personalized without the first sentence but wouldn't be over the line.

Still, it would be better to make your point about the thing, not the person. We can't really know anything about a person from an internet comment or two, so we mostly see what we project. That tends to make comments unsubstantive in addition to uncivil.
I didn't look at that tool, but just reading this suggests that you're being shaped/policed more aggressively on egress (in the direction of your provider) than you are on ingress. Shaping and policing (typically) both use the same mechanisms as interface buffers to temporarily store packets in order to prevent congestion/discards. The distinction between them is that shaping actively buffers packets, where policing will more aggressively drop them (and aim to trigger a TCP congestion event) - in most cases, policing will involve a burst bucket that is somewhat similar to a shallow queue.

This would make sense if you have a higher bit rate from your provider for down vs up.

No idea where you got the "needs 3.3v" from, but no, it runs off 5V the same as the Pi 3.
The idea of a 'routine checkup' is an American thing as far as I can tell. I've lived in the UK and New Zealand and adults only go to the doctor when there's something wrong, or if you have known chronic conditions. You certainly don't have regular blood tests.
(Sorry, I'm late to reply, but since you addended your comment you might still be listening...)

After spending a year evaluating both AWS and GCP (with an emphasis on their managed database services; both SQL and no-SQL) my general feeling is this:

"Microsoft Windows is to Unix as AWS is to GCP".

(Or perhaps closer to the truth: "VMS is to Unix as AWS is to GCP".)

Baically AWS services seem like they are badly designed by buerocratic mediocre engineers following some bureocratic template for "a service".

GCP feels a lot saner (both API- and UI/console-wise). I often got the feeling it's designed by people who:

a) are smart and well-rounded in terms of experiences. It does take cleverness and experience to design something elegant that is also useful.

b) take pride in their work (it does show)

(And then, as a bonus: It's cheaper!)
We are way, way too late for that. We solved that problem by making sure each phone is only used by one person. So even if people poke their grubby fingers at their phones for the entire time they are sitting on their toilets, there won't be a planet-wide epidemic of a phone-vectored disease.

For my husband, it was a feeling of heartburn combined with an elevated heart rate in the middle of the night. Fortunately, my reaction was, "oh my god, get up, we're going to the hospital NOW!"

This was a bit over two weeks after a delayed Transatlantic flight with turbulence bad enough that we barely left our seats.

The main reason I freaked out and took him to the hospital immediately instead of just saying, "that's weird," was that a close friend had had a pulmonary embolism a few weeks after flying back to the US after tearing up her knee skiing (and having to wear a stiff brace on the plane).
Strong typing helps. Keep in mind enterprise ETL tools are designed to move data from oltp to olap databases, which are often strongly typed as well.
