Yeah. What they need is a true full day's charge and a fast charge so you can charge it in the morning while you get ready (and maybe a top off at night). Or for a lot of people you can probably do it now by taking it off when you get home and charging it until you go to bed then wearing it overnight. There's an opportunity in the morning to top off the charge again if it's not making it through the day.

A sleep mode could also make over night wear more feasible. Really you don't want any notifications coming through anyways so all the wireless connectivity can be turned off along with the screen and the processor clocked waaaay down.
This is way worse than Watergate.

Nixon tried to cover up what were, by comparison, activities of little to no consequence. He didn't even need the extra intel on the Democrats. He already had the election in the bag.

Trump on the other hand, is under investigation for possible collusion with the nation's primary adversary.

The article does mention this particular technique tries to get bigger yields and remove the need of sorting that other methods require.

Agreed. Title is accurate. It's a cheap hack that outputs results similar to what a pro can achieve. And for far, far less money.

Ask HN: Working with a political manager
I recently joined a big bank in their technology division as a senior developer. My manager is really doing good at his position and is popular amongst senior managers. He is always fighting with his peers and trying to undermine them so that he looks good. He encourages the same within the team.
Actually in my 1-on-1 discussion he openly told me to not share my knowledge with others and always keep everything I know to myself. If I help anyone I need to copy all the managers so that they know. Honest advice I would say. But I have started to hate this toxic environment where all team members are continuously fighting. Everyone works on secret projects and tries to project the smallest thing they do as a big invention.

I get paid well and the project is really good. I am learning a lot of new things[the politics included].
I didn't see such environment in my last two fintech companies, may be because the teams were really small and focussed.

So my question is this a common thing in other banks/companies too?
I've been happy with VSCode, far more so than I was in trying Brackets and Atom... and with the plugin model, I think it's better than ST from usability... Though I wish some of the config stuff was more in the box instead of editing JSON files directly... that said, the features are very rich in the box, and plugins have been great.

I appreciate the explanation and I get it. My point still remains that from a practical standpoint you are statistically unlikely to be able to cause significant change as a low-level employee no matter how you go about it.

A lot of these companies are intentionally and systematically dysfunctional. You can have all the charisma in the world, they are not interested in changing.

And when your official role and purpose is not to shake things up, you wont be allowed to shake things up.

Again, notice I said statistically, not absolutely.
Atom and VSCode are also open source and are (currently) receiving updates much more frequently.

Patch and interactive modes are the best thing next to sliced bread. I'll start with a feature and end up refactoring something and it's difficult to organize large sets of changes without them.
Some of us even use both.
In academia almost anyone releases the source code of the experiments (at least it was this way 5 years ago, and things doesn't seem to have changed). If it is not true, probe me right.

For example. NIPS proceedings (like hundred of papers): https://papers.nips.cc/book/advances-in-neural-information-p... source code available (around 25, 2 of them in google github repos): https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/5hwqeb/pro...

Memoir of a Homebrew Computer Club Member
I don't think anyone can tell. His behavior has been very inconsistent. His reveal of the re-opened inquiry into Clinton's emails a week before the election blew every reasonable legal professional's mind in this country on matters concerning the presidential election. It's incredibly unusual for law enforcement or legal professionals to make comments which would invite speculation about ongoing investigations, let alone the highest law enforcement official in the land. It would have suggested that he favored Trump. Otherwise, what unbiased human would do such a thing? On the other hand, Comey seemed perfectly happy to then turn around and re-enter the public discourse on the matter of Trump's relationship with Russia. No one can figure him out. There's definitely an argument that this erratic behavior warrants termination, but days after he confirmed details about investigations into Trump-Russia? I swear Tom Clancy couldn't write a better story than this.

Those go through certification processes. It's been against the rules to use a GC even if it's hard-real-time. Here's an example where the author points out the real-time Java was designed for DO-178B (safety-critical aerospace) but it wasn't until DO-178C that they even considered allowing a GC:

http://www.aicas.com/papers/EmbeddedWorld2009-Andy-Walter.pd...

The companies that develop reusable solutions for multiple markets tend to pick something easy to certify or sell to all of them. So, if Java wasn't allowed, they'd lean toward something else in their products targeting highest-assurance just to reduce costs. That's mostly been assembly, C and Ada that I've seen.

Meanwhile, we do have proof it can be done in things such as the Sandia Secure Processor that they'll use for some of highest-assurance applications. The first-pass silicon they got was also nice. The best articles by Wickstrom et al on SSP are paywalled in ACM and IEEE if you have access. If not, there's a link below on how they built it with brief description of it under "Score processor," another name.

Homo naledi is younger than expected, complicating the tale of human evolution
At least for Series 2 this isn't that much of an issue any more: despite tracking a 2 hour workout every day, the battery easily lasts through the day and the night. And it recharges fully while I'm showering on the next day.

I could easily use the watch for sleep tracking, but the SDK is a bit limited for 3rd party apps to be able to automatically start and stop tracking.

I hope Apple will either improve the SDK or add a built-in sleep tracker and alarm feature as described by OP (though in my case the point is moot as I have a very efficient fur-based alarm clock that will claw my face on the first sign of daylight in order to be fed)

Having done a bit of risky mountain stuff I quite like the modest risk of dying doing it. Part of my rationalization is you're going to die some day and doing it Bond movie style might be more interesting than Alzheimer's in a hospice. It's also a bit of an FU to the government forcing you to scan your shoes at airports and such like to prevent the 1E-10 chance of you leaving the party early.
I second that. Conservative nature of embedded industry led to lots of investment into things like static analysis, WCET's, and automated testing of few languages or platforms they use. Embedded is one of few sectors that can benefit from most deliverables in high-assurance field as well since they structure their stuff simple enough for that vs piles of Linux, containers, bloated apps, etc. The innovation happens outside of the coding mostly. That's why the coding keeps the quality that engineers intended to put into it. :)
Lost Generation: The Relay Computers
"It's called finding people with similar interest." That's what we're doing here. It's Hacker News. Those similar interests are technology and innovation. If politics are involved in tech stories, then the stories are here (hence the story we're commenting on.)

When you say your website is 'for' something, the implication is that you're 'not for' something else. This website is for technical news.

The fact that these "leaders" are involved in technology is mostly incidental, which is why some random tech CEO's opinion on health care doesn't get a whole lot of traction here. Unless there is a technological bent to their take on something, it's not really a technical story– it's yet another rich person that has something to say about politics. Even the ones who became notable for technical reasons, when speaking on non-technical political topics, are no more notable to me than Hollywood personalities doing the same.

I'm not saying you're wrong for caring about what they think or thinking that they should speak up more– I'm saying that the story would be newsfeed fodder at every site from Breitbart to Dissent Magazine, not to mention a million specialized sub-reddits. But how many places can I go to see a neatly ranked list of quality techy stories, such as the latest git release, some neat electronic music composition teaching demo, and news about modules in the JDK? Very, very few. The fact that this is a narrow niche makes it a resource for many people. We 'need' this space to discuss this tech stuff which is important to us as technologists, but given equal footing, would get crushed by stories about world-leadership-level politics.

So I fail to see any reason behind your implication that this group of people interacts with political news so differently that we need our own space to discuss them; we're not even unified in having a particular interest in politics, let alone solidarity on specific political viewpoints.

If you're really sure that I'm wrong, then why not leave Hacker News to start your own political-tech website? The hacker news source is available on Sourceforge. Make a fork and make a poli-hacker news. If people are interested, they'll show up. Even just starting a "poli-tech" subreddit to see if anyone bites.

My theory? We're just not that special.

(As an aside, I also think you're greatly overestimating the likelihood that tech CEOs opinions would align with your own, and it's quite likely that's why they're keeping their mouths shut to begin with. I know if I worked for some startup with a CEO who was fine at running a business but REALLY loved Milo Yiannopolis, I'd be pretty happy that he kept his mouth shut so our company would stay afloat and I could keep paying my rent.)
Imagine ten years from now you decide to run for some kind of important political office.

"We should pay lots of money to keep people who have committed minor crimes locked up in prison for a long time just so we can pretend we're making the world safer." -> "But what about those who refuse to pay?" -> "We'll put them in prison".

That's the further irony.

You're already paying lots of money to keep too many people in prison. The poster back up the thread was simply suggesting a cheaper alternative that would save you money.

Gary Garrett has more lattice demos on Youtube. Here's one that's an animation of an example in Harmonic Experience by W. A. Mathieu (which uses lattices extensively to explain harmony and is the best reference I know of for explaining how to understand them): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I49bj-X7fH0

A 3-5 lattice is a grid where one axis is fifths (powers of 3 in just intonation) and another axis is major thirds (powers of 5). Garrett implies a third axis for septimal flatted seventh (i.e. barbershop 7th) intervals. Since the grid is leaning to the right, the diagonals that lean the left are minor thirds. Powers of 2 (octaves) are usually ignored. Triangles that are flat on the bottom are major triads. Triangles that are flat on top are minor triads.

There isn't an obvious way to encode a whole song onto a single lattice diagram in a way that could be printed on a page and still be readable. They seem to work pretty well as animations or as static illustrations to explain chord transitions, though.

If you've lived through this the post is really funny.

We've all had someone clear their throat when taking you through a new codebase and be like 'yeah, the configuration language kind of became self aware'.

Organizations aren't equipped to evaluate the costs of complexity and our software tooling isn't strong enough (yet) to tweak old design decisions to make room for changes.
I want to partially agree with you because there is just something about physically playing an instrument that is so rewarding and fulfilling, to both the artist and the audience blessed enough to witness a true master guitarist/pianist/etc in action.

However, this is too narrow a definition for music. Having some experience with both actual instruments and DAWs I think they exercise different parts of the musical brain and as an aspiring musician one would be more "complete" having knowledge of both. But I don't think one place to start is more necessary that the other.

It's absolutely possible to be a fully developed musician and have the DAW be your only and only "instrument". It's a different skillset and the best producers in the world can create brilliant music just purely in the DAW. There is another subthread here that comments on the difficulty in generating unique sounds, for example. There are lots of specific skills that separate the weekend loopers from the pros that have found their own sound and character. It just takes a different appreciation. The latter set of folks definitely have paid their "frustrated hours cutting and blistering their fingers" just in a very different way.

I will say though that this form of music isn't very interesting to me in a live format vs traditional instrumental music, but the produced/composed/recorded outcome can be just as brilliant.

“ER = EPR” or “What's Behind the Horizons of Black Holes?” – 2 of 2
I completely agree that the idea that giving people housing and food would magically stop crime is utterly absurd. However, reducing the number of children growing up in highly stressful poverty situations may well lead to a reduction in crime over years and decades. It's absurd on the scale of bribing individual criminals, but it's not absurd on a societal scale to reduce the conditions where crime is likely to grow.

Also, obviously, not all crime is the same. Plenty of crime could never be prevented by any kind of policy. But there also is a lot of minor crime that probably could.
Of course the creator of Package Control now works for the creator of Sublime Text and the install is automated from a menu item. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets integrated further, especially now that they've started to cleanup the UI and icon.
