Hm, i dont think this is it.

To play go well you need balance. It requires intense emotional training. Any feeling you have during a game must be reigned in immediately because it will cloud your judgemnet and it does so in a way you cant understand.

Think of Go as a conversation. Lets stay you are having a civil conversation about a topic with someone, and the other person throws an insult in the middle. Will your next messages look the same as the ones before? Of course not, because you will be rattled, or offended, or something, and thus the tone and content of your messages will change immediately.

If that happens to you in Go, you are on a path of self destruction.

So losing a game to an amateur could be something in your mind, as an insult, that just modifies you a bit, even just temporary. But it does, so you feel contaminated.

Her department would buy non-IBM PC's because it was cheaper than buying from their own company. Helping out "the competition" within your own company doesn't help you meet your department numbers even if it would help the company as a whole.
> A short way of putting it: professionals dont play for fun, so why would they play for free for anyone?

But fun is probably what got you guys into this game, right?

I got what you meant but for a lot of people it will probably read like it's not a pleasurable activity for you guys anymore.

A counter-example would be a pro Soccer playing saying he never plays casual matches with his friends anymore because he earns to do it. That does not happen and I believe it's the same with you guys in Go, right?

Thank you for answering all the questions and doubts, I've been reading everything and it's been a blast :)

This. The only reason I maintain a FB profile is because I use it as a glorified address book, especially for people that I meet abroad.

I email/text close friends and family but if I want to get in touch with a past friend/travel companion/acquaintance, FB makes that easier.

Saying that, a lot of people I come across now have also stopped actively using FB and are very involved in Instagram. I found it odd that co-workers so easily and quickly follow an Instagram feed but FB, email, personal cell #s usually took longer to exchange. I'm assuming because with Instagram, there's a degree of curation and it's personal but not too personal.

I also found it odd that peoples' dogs had IG profiles and they would use those profiles to follow other co-workers' dogs. To each their own, I guess.
What he wrote was extremely arrogant. Unless he tried to be funny. I am tired of people who tell you that you are doing it all wrong after a quick look.

I work on a pretty complex system myself and every few months somebody comes in,takes a quick look and tells us we just need to use framework X and all will be easy. Guess what, we are not totally stupid and have looked at it already. And it wouldn't solve the actual problem which is that it's just a very complex thing we are doing.

First understand what people are doing before telling them they are wrong.

It's worth noting that most non-enterprise companies (i.e. not Microsoft, IBM, or Oracle) don't implement staff or principal prefixes, making senior the top of the list. I haven't had a principal prefix since I worked for Oracle (and got there via an acquisition where I was a senior), yet I'm always at or near the top of the development ladder for my department.

As always, you need to ask questions, not make assumptions.
Way better than z3!
He is probably measuring something called "narrow-sense heritability", which just includes just additive genetic effects (Gene A + Gene B = Sum(A, B)) and excludes other things such as gene interaction. Most of the statistical techniques used to estimate the narrow-sense heritability assume environmental and other, non-additive, genetic effects follow a Gaussian. Your example clearly exposes a situation where these studies may not be powerful.

The inability to explain heritability as more than a "sum of the parts" is a problem which I'm not familiar with a solution for at the genome scale.
Agreed, part of why I love the integrated terminal in VS Code... mostly doing git, node and npm commands while working on my projects. About the most GUI I use, is the active diff tool in VS Code. But that's not CLI based. I've also tried a few gui tools for git, and none seem to be quite as easy as just using the CLI for it.

Probably the cli that I find the most useful beyond git that I use regularly is docker... It's pretty useful if you aren't in a linux environment but need to build something in one... In my node lambda builds, I'll do something like:

docker -i -v "${PWD}/dist":/app -w /app node:6.10 npm i

Which is usually enough to give me something I can zip and upload for use in a lambda... Though, like git, if I'm doing something not usual, I often wind up having to google it. Like anything in git more complicated than a simple rebase or add/commit/push.
Saccades is not what I was referring to. 'Micro-dilations' was my attempt to describe the phenomenon. After some searching, I believe it's called hippus (maybe specifically 'physiological' hippus, to distinguish from pathological) or ' pupillary athetosis'.
The History of the iPhone – History Cooperative
They probably don't have a 30 year history as a software developer/engineer either do they?

Yes what I've learned is that most HNers just like to virtue-signal their support and aren't really interested in actually involving themselves...but a serious and heartfelt THANK YOU for the ones that do.

Blackthorn, it's fantastic you are involved in a active and successful program that is helping people coming out of prison find a job and stay out...that's God's work for sure.

But in my experience many are almost surely being exploited by employers whom are using their desperation against starving and living in the streets, violating parole and going back to prison, and going back to a life of crime against them to offer them a employment at below market-rate jobs.

Many if not most of these jobs are actually designed for the ex-con to fail at and to be easily replaceable with the next crop of paroles and new releases as the revolving door spins in-and-out. Halfway houses seems to be the worse offenders here as they often take a large portion of the ex-cons take home pay in the name of "protecting" them against themselves but its often just a raw money grab.

Very few of these jobs pay anything close to a decent living wage that will allow the newly released convict a good chance at rejoining society in a meaningful way anyway.

It's so easy for even a very empathetic person who wants to help to take a hard look at these problems and eventually decide "well damn...there is no solution here so let's just go back to the old attitude that is their fault for breaking <insert random bullshit non-violent offense here> so they deserve to be social outcasts, shit on forever living on the margins of society with very little hope of redemption."

You guys just don't know how much I hate knowing all this shit...I truly don't believe I am the person that my background suggests I am to most employers but as always, the very few ruin it for the most.

When I first wrote that post, years ago, I expected most people to ignore it as tinfoil-hat stuff. But as time has passed, people are becoming more aware. (Also, the implications are becoming more costly.)

I no longer write off the non-technical public as "they don't understand/care."

This gives me hope that alternatives can work, even alternatives that require network effects. (Though, I think the best alternatives won't be another social network but something more akin to easy ways for people to run their own group communications. I don't think a me-too will win here, but something more of a leap-frog.)
If the prover simply went into an infinite loop while checking the first proof candidate and never got as far as checking the second one, would it be working correctly? I would consider such a prover not useful, and a useful prover would be one that told me something when reaching the timeout, such as that there were no proofs for the given theorem shorter than a certain length.

I'm a fairly professional creative myself and have been using Surface products to do my work for the last 4~ years almost exclusively. Heavy Photoshop work, lots of video editing, 3D modeling & rendering, etc.

I've had good fun learning to program with Guix lately. It's easy to start packaging software and get contributions into a real project, But it's also a large system, with complex internals that I'm gradually learning more about, like G-Expressions[1]. I'm also studing SICP on the side, so it's nice that they use essentially the same language.

I have high hopes for Guix. I conjecture that GuixSD can become the distro-makers goto basis for creating new systems. Other distros have simpler sh-like languages for building packages, which creates a system which is very much a house of cards. Every time I look at debian package definitions for help, I come out with one extra grey hair.
I think Guix can build a much taller house of cards than other packaging systems. For example, suppose you want to build a Audio focused distro, and you'd like a PREEMPT_RT patched kernel, I haven't bothered making this myself but it basically just requires `inherit'-ing the linux-libre package definition, and then adding the PREEMPT_RT patch to the list of patches to be applied. Whenever linux-libre is updated, your linux-libre-lts will automatically include those changes too and be updated. Naturally, incompatible updates can happen that break things, but that is unavoidable.
Then, you would create in your git repo all the package definitions and customisations needed, and then finally a file containing the system definition that is the actual distro. Other GuixSD users can try out your distro by running sh $(guix system vm my-super-distro.scm --fallback) to boot up a virtual machine running your system. Or guix system reconfigure my-super-distro.scm will install it on the system in a non destructive way than can be rolled back or reconfigured back to the previous system definition.
What's else? Scientific Guix? Educational Guix? One can share git repos including .scm file that can easily be launched to show of their riced desktop without borking other peoples systems? I admit I haven't looked at how debian based distros are made, but I imagine it's not so simple to convert one dpkg based distro into another one and then back again without any destructive changes.

How is any American not relying on military spending? In any case, we decided as a society that even if you aren't using programs you still need to contribute to them. That's how they get funded... You think the people on safety nets pay enough in taxes to pay for the programs?
False. From the UK terms for MacBook Pro (I checked the terms from the Netherlands as well, and they are similar):

You may obtain service in the European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland without paying any shipping and handling fees. Outside this region, service options may be limited. If a given service option is not available for the Apple Product in such country, Apple or its agent shall notify you about any additional shipping and handling charges which may apply before rendering service. Shipping and handling charges will not apply in countries where Apple does maintain an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”) (a list of current service locations is provided at locate.apple.com/uk/en).

IANAL, but basically this seems to say: (1) in the EEA you can get your support no questions asked, (2) outside the EEA you may have to pay S&H charges, unless there is an Apple Store or Reseller.

If you know them well enough that they understand that you're joking, then it's probably okay. If you're not sure, then don't. I do have female friends at the office who might find that funny, but only because we know each other and we give each other as good as we get. The difference is that we are friends not just colleagues, which is on a different level, interpersonally.

'hippus', specifically 'physiological hippus', or ' pupillary athetosis', seem to be the correct terms for what I was describing as 'micro-dilations'. Saccades, as I understand it, is rotational shift of focus by 1-2 degrees, rather than repeated contraction/relaxation of the pupil.

It didn't matter how powerful it is. It's still inconsistent and a bad example of ux. Some trivial examples: "tag -d", but "remote remove"; exiting editor after "commit" aborts, but after "rebase -i" continues operation; etc.

We've done this a few times - both incubating from eggs and receiving chicks mail order. Incubating and seeing the eggs hatch is awesome, but it's also pretty fun to pick up a cheeping box at the post office!

However, it won't be very long until you want them OUT of the mudroom ASAP. The dust and smell from poo and feathers and whatever else gets bad quickly. Not a nice addition to breakfast.

Note that I do seem to be more irritated by it than other family members who like pets more.
True, but the point was, Costco doesn't have cause to do anything in East Texas.
In a workplace you are talking to a colleague that you respect. In my experience "princess" is either used to refer to a child or someone who is spoiled and weak. It's really all about context, if I call my friend a "cunt" at home when he uses a blue shell in MarioKart no one is uncomfortable but if I used it in the workplace it's a huge problem and will make people really uncomfortable.

Show HN: Ambar – Corporate Mail Monitor and Archive
This company is a privacy nightmare asking people's selfie with a social security number or passport or national id card in it, the most creepy company ever encountered.

"Our analysis proceeds in three stages. First, we provide evidence that lower quality
businesses [as measured by Yelp rating] are, on average, closer to the margin of exit and fail at higher rates than higher quality
restaurants irrespective of the minimum wage level. A one-star increase in rating is associated
with more than a 50% decrease in the likelihood of going out of business. This qualitative
relationship holds both with and without restaurant effects.

"We then exploit the multiple city-level minimum wage changes in recent years across the
Bay Area to implement a difference-in-differences design to investigate the effects of the
minimum wage. We find suggestive evidence that a higher minimum wage leads to overall
increases in restaurant exit rates – depending on the specification, we find that a $1 increase in
the minimum wage leads to approximately a 4 to 10 percent increase in the likelihood of exit,
although the estimate is only statistically significant in certain specifications.

"Next, we present robust evidence that the impact of the minimum wage varies with the
rating of the business. Our point estimates suggest that a $1 increase in the minimum wage leads
to an approximate 14 percent increase in the likelihood of exit for the median 3.5-star restaurant
but the impact falls to zero for five-star restaurants. These effects are robust to a number of
different specifications, including controlling for time-varying county characteristics that may
influence both minimum wage policies and restaurant demand, city-specific time trends to
account for preexisting trends, as well as county-year fixed effects to control for spatial
heterogeneity in exit trends."
