Truth or not, I'm curious to know how the high probability that all content is curated doesn't bother you?

I can't find one leak that's been damaging to Putin's agenda. That doesn't prove Russia is in control of the site, but it's curious that every single leak has been either damaging to the United States, other parties that have not had good relations with Russia or relatively inconsequential to either.

The fact that Assange cannot verify he produces the content of his site only furthers the probability of Russia having seized possession of it, given there exists no damaging information to Putin's regime. Would it not be better if those leaks were exposed along with everything else?
The boss was right about the "experiment". It simply wasn't enough proof to show that sexism exists in the work place.

1. One experiment run.
2. Only two participants.
3. At least one of the participants had a bias from the start of the experiment.

I find it difficult to believe this happens like this, at least after my personal experience of women working on par to men. One notable point has always been that it was men working over time when the opportunity arose, other than that things were equal. We shared good jokes, we went toe to toe with work motive. I don't know where people keep finding these places - but I don't think I ever worked in one.

Shortly after I began (AppleSeed) seed testing of pre-release Yosemite I decided that – after decades of happy use of Macs – the mash-up was not for me. An ill-fitting one-size-fits-all approach to the GUI, which was rushed through.

July 2014: I planned a three-year transition away from Mac OS X.

To the best of my knowledge, Apple's changes to human interface guidelines were not seeded. Instead, the changes were privately preset, published only after Yosemite was released.

Two years later, my experience with PC-BSD, expressed when TrueOS Desktop was announced: https://twitter.com/grahamperrin/status/797724086898196481 "smart direction".

Should I recommend TrueOS Desktop to a user of Mac OS X? Not at this time; https://github.com/trueos/trueos-core/issues/created_by/grah... the most troublesome (time-wasting) of which is https://github.com/trueos/trueos-core/issues/287 – tl;dr the Mac metaphor would be an inappropriate switch off of Wi-Fi when simply switching network location. And https://discourse.trueos.org/t/-/378/18 too often I can not get network service without a restart of the operating system.

Generally, the majority of my discussion about the software is at https://discourse.trueos.org/users/grahamperrin/activity … you might need to scroll down a page to reach discussion of the software (to skip stuff arising from changes to community guidelines that were made without consultation with the community).

I read in a subsequent article that ZeniMax was upset about John Carmack taking five of his best guys with him to Oculus, one of whom violated his NDA agreement.

I presume that's what led to this debacle.

This approach surprised me. Why are they doing feature extraction and then feeding that into a DNN? It seems much more straightforward to have the input of the network be noisy samples and the output be clean samples a la super resolution[0] in images. They probably wouldn't want to use fully-connected layers in that instance, but I don't see any fundamental barriers if they have enough computational power to run a neural network already. Am I missing something?

So when your cloudbleeding, your atleast doing it as fast as possible, right?? ;)

Sure if u write game engines, do it in C/C++. Embedded devices? Probably a good choice.

I work at a startup, and we only have a few devs. I share my C# code-base across the client/server/mobile platform and even cross-compile it to a few other lauinages in between. If i need speed, i just extern out to a C/C++ dll i need and get it (never need to). Or integrate a microservice in eralang.

C# is just like C++, to write fast code, u need to understand the hardware. Its just C#, the hardware includes the garbage collector.

By that argument neither does "worse".

I meant VR in general. VR at 1440p per eye is actually less pixel pushing than 2160p (2 * QHD = 7.4 million pixels, UHD = 8.3 million pixels). QHD per eye is a significant step up from 1080p per eye, and it's rumored that the next headset iterations will be at 1440p per eye.

I worked for a company that tried to do the same:

1. It's not standard. I've yet to meet another developer that encounter this kind of clause and I've yet to be in that situation as well.

2. you can't. I had the same issue with my novel. They said "Well, we wouldn't care about that" as a response but "caring" and having the right to is completely different.

3. They'd probably try to say that he used work equipment or code

4. You can; however, most contracts are pretty simple and you can negotiate. I always negotiate and explicit clause that states that my employer owns solely that which is developed during work hours or on work equipment. It's as (mostly) simple as that.
They aren't. They're viewed as really weird molecules.

I lived in a post-Soviet country for a year several years ago. The neighborhood I lived in had this kind of block layout, and I agree, I much preferred it to anything I've ever seen in America.

You could walk on footpaths to the open-air market, to the kiosks, even to restaurants, didn't have to worry about traffic or road noise, it felt just like a very natural, easy place to live.

Contrast that with living in Seattle, where even where it's walkable, so much of the public space is given up to cars.

It's just a configuration problem - at one job, we had a million line code base compiling with clang, gcc (2 versions, can't recall which), on 2 versions of solaris, 2 versions of linux, and linux 32bit and 64bit, plus windows on VS2010, and 2015, so that makes 18 *nix builds and 2 windows builds, so 20 different C++ builds of one code base. All unit tested, and regression tested. Get your CI system of choice working, e.g. TeamCity, fix your makefiles, and you're good to go.

Can you give an example of text in the wild that uses interlinear ruby annotation codepoints? Because I searched the Common Crawl for them, and every occurrence of U+FFF9 through U+FFFB seems to have been an accident that has nothing to do with Japanese.

Note that I didn't actually ask you about rendering.

I care from the point of view of the base level of natural language processing. Some decisions that have nothing to do with rendering are:

- Do they count as graphemes?

- What do you do when you feed text containing ruby characters to a Japanese word segmenter (which is not going to be okay with crazy Unicode control characters, even those intended for Japanese)?

- Could they appear in the middle of a phrase you would reasonably search for? Should that phrase then be searchable without the ruby? Should the contents of the ruby also be searchable?

Seeing how ruby codepoints are actually used would help to decide how to process them. But as far as I can tell, they're not actually used (markup is used instead, quite reasonably). So I'm surprised that your answer is a flat "Yes".

It is rarely enforced but it's always there, looming.

Anyway, even before the consideration of intellectual properties, it stand to reason that a worker can produce only so much work per day before stressing out, and if an employee hired for 8h does 4h more on the side as contractor the employing company gets 'cheated out' of productive time and this is especially true in a job that require fairly constant concentration, even if being tired at the job is shitty all around universally.

Hi! This is Misha from the Timebound team. Thank you for pointing it out. Android will be available in late May, once the app is released. It's only the closed beta that's available for iOS, but the campaign is for both platforms. We will make it more clear on our Kickstarter page.
In the late 90's working remotely wasn't a thing for most of us.

Nowadays it is pretty common in any major corporation, and has opened the door for offshoring all sorts of projects.
It would also make it impossible to unlock device off-sight (in the pocket) and increase chances of shoulder-surfing.

The proper solution would be let user draw some figure anywhere on the screen then OCR it.
A more UNIXy question is: why isn't there a generic tool that do nice and slick TUIs (textual user interfaces) so that htop, ntop, iotop, ctop and so on can all be implemented on top of it?

1. They only addressed using it against regulators.

2. Still using it against regulators, but will surely stop whenever it figures out when...

3. Other concerns? Nope.

Show HN: Niko – Employee Engagement Is Broken – Here’s How to Fix It
Hi HN! I’m Jared, founder at Niko - https://www.getniko.com/.

If you want to make your company a great(er) place to work and want to know what is important to the people you work with, you should try Niko. It is currently in beta. It’s easy to create a group. You can even connect it to Slack.

Backstory: I was working at a company where the leaders actively covered up problems and hindered the free flow of information. The health of the company and the people working there was suffering accordingly and it wasn’t solely because our office was in the basement of a converted parking garage.

As luck would have it, we hired a Director of Web Engineering who was previously at Twitter. She understood the power of giving people a voice at work, so she set up Google Moderator for the company to use.

Moderator was a Google service (shut down in 2015) that used crowdsourcing to rank user-submitted questions, suggestions and ideas. Obama used it.

The effect was remarkable and indelible. People felt confident sharing their questions, ideas, and suggestions. Their voices were heard, valuable, and relevant.

When my colleagues and I moved on, we took Moderator with us and watched the same remarkable things happen at other companies. It’s not surprising that companies like Google (Google Moderator), Twitter (Falquora), Mozilla (Mozilla Moderator), Yahoo (YoMod), Salesforce, Optimizely and others made, and still use, their own Moderator-like internal tools for employee engagement.

When Google Moderator shut down, there was a clear need for a dynamic, modern replacement. That is why I built Niko.

- I don't think they're actually going to demolish those. Where are the money for that? They didn't even begin to explain how whis is going to work economy-wise.

- Now is precisely the worst time for projects of that scale. The only mass housing the modern Russia can build is 25-story ugly buildings without parking, trees, roads, schools but with chilling winds between the apartment towers. Urban planning and landscape design are completely nonexistent.

- Compared to US or Western Europe, people are cramped into tiny apartments. No suburbia. No gardens. No neigbours. No roads. No backyard, no place to play. Walkable tho, if you are lucky.

- The quality of urban layout was actually dwindling all the time. Stalinist 5-storeys were okay (green, near to public transportation, with shops), 5-storey block khruschevki were worse (no more shops, worse apartments), 9- to 17- block brezhnevki were even worse (further from city centers and public transit, snow hurricanes between tall towers, no infrastructure, no trees), and what gets built today is abysmal.

- So are they going to replace okay-ish 5-storeys with this:

http://varlamov.ru/2210604.html

- For some reason, people still buy those apartments. Even given choice. It's a complete mystery to me. If you ask a Russian which car he wants, he'd probably go for a sport BMW. But ask the same about apartments, and he'll promptly point to concrete coffin on the outskirts.

That's a matter of opinion, nothing looks worse to me than those out parameters and there's always a way to do things in a cleaner more expressive way than that ugliness. I find many Smalltalk idioms look and work just fine in C# and greatly reduce the amount of code I need to write.

C# still lacks quite a lot in comparison to Smalltalk, but it's slowly getting there year by year.

I'm a bit conflicted about this. I don't want ads in my OS either. But I don't think this occasion is such a big problem. Microsoft offers a paid OneDrive plan, and they have to let people know how to subscribe. The UI of OneDrive happens to be File Explorer. Granted, I would prefer the banner to be shown only in the OneDrive "Folder" and not in Quick Access.

I find other things much more annoying:

- I really like the random lockscreen pictures. But sometimes, I get ads for Xbox Games or movies from the Windows Store. It seems inappropriate at work, and people think I'm a fan of game XY although I've never heard about it before.

- On one PC, I get the infamous "Try edge, it is 20% faster than Firefox" every time I start Firefox. I assume (strongly hope) that this is a glitch...

- A OneDrive ad that really annoys me is a popup window, telling me to login to OneDrive (and possibly purchase something, IDK). It opens at startup, and at random times when using office. I think when an application tries to open a file that doesn't exist on a network drive triggers it also (!?). I can deactivate it, but it comes back after some time.

I have no need for OneDrive (as I already use Dropbox and Nextcloud). It's fine that you offer it to me once, but please let me opt out and never be bothered again.

----

On the positive side, maybe this means that there will be finally a proper common integration of sync providers? Every service places their icons in different places. Dropbox, Nextcloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, CERNBox (proprietary service at work). It would be really funny, because then this would mean the linked tip is another one of those frequently repeated tips that actually make you experience worse (as you can't see when a future Dropbox is trying to tell you there was a sync failure...).
Thanks peternicky for pointing it out. I only realized after submitting the post that I forgot the add the URL. It wasn't possible to add it in edit mode, and deleting and re-adding the post was also not possible. So, I figured the best is to add it in the comments.

Technically, it's increased the supply of short term lodging. Housing supply would have to be increased by construction or subdivision of units.

> If you're seeing that AirBNB is just as expensive as hotels

It's not an entirely fluid market, and some AirBnb hosts have wildly inflated ideas of what their unit is worth. A lot of AirBnbs (in my searches) sit mostly empty except for during events, during which they overcharge greatly. The vacancy rate acceptable for an AirBnb is much higher than the acceptable vacancy rate for a hotel.

I'm actually frustrated by it. I like the fact that I can finally CTR-C/CTR-V into the cmd line. But I spend my time interrupting scripts by just clicking on the cmd windows.

Women developers aren't better than men developers at writing business logic and math for videogames, just like women oil rig workers aren't better at extracting crude oil. It doesn't matter who does either one of those, genders don't play a difference in code writing just like they don't play a difference in train conducting or operating cranes. The end result is you have a bunch of code that executes machine instructions. There is no "female object orientation" or "female monadic enterprise patterns".

If you were to argue that female game designers, product managers, producers and writers are better qualified to make games for women, female marketers are better at marketing to that demographic, sure, I can absolutely buy that argument.

However the gender imbalance people always focus on is the one for individual contributors and programmers, not marketers, not designers, nor people doing the higher level product or creative work.

If diversity really makes a difference when it comes to writing machine instructions, diversity should matter for mechanics, miners and oil rig workers.
