Dreamtime uses the Bittorrent DHT. You can use any plaintext room name and it is internally converted to an infohash through which peers can find eachother.
Completely agreed. Used it heavily when I was working as a web server administrator in a Novell OES shop so that we could cross-train with the Novell administrators. It was stable, had good package availability, was usable both on the desktop and server, and just quietly did it's thing. Have never had challenges like I had with Redhat or Oracle Linux.
You still need to manually open the file, read it and add it to the body of the response, to impractical IMHO.

Many dynamically typed languages have an automatic change from int to bigint rather than allowing overflow. For example, Python.
I will add a public log aggregation example, thanks!
While this sounds like it should be true, in practice it isn't.

See for example the TF vs Torch implementations of Pix2Pix https://github.com/affinelayer/pix2pix-tensorflow (at the bottom of the page).

The reasons for this are many: different order of operations, failure to propagate random seeds, different order of processing files etc. I don't think there is a structured study of this so that would be a great thing to do!
I keep wondering what will happen on AWS or Google when available public v4 IPs run out/low... Start charging $15 per address?
The problem with AirBnb is that if you live anywhere in the downtown core (particularly King West in Toronto), you're likely to encounter AirBnbs being rented out to parties. And especially on a consistent basis. It's extremely annoying in condos when you have loud obnoxious guests who rent it for a weekend night not just in their units, but in the hallways.

Not to mention, that consistently in a condo that my family owns, we consistently see weekend warriors leaving empty beer bottles and garbage in the elevators and condos.

Yeah, it's not technically AirBnb's fault or even necessarily the condo board's fault. It's partially a result of living in an area with irresponsible young people combined with short-term renters who don't care. But when rules, bylaws, and laws have no real teeth, people aren't incentivized to actually deal with the problems that neighbouring tenants face.
Giving people all the cars they want and feeding the planet are two different subjects. Yes, I expect over time we'll all be a bit less wealthy than we would have been if our supply of oil was endless.

But I do not believe the price of oil is suddenly going to shoot up to some astronomical value overnight and cause mass die-offs, which is something you hear every time the price of oil goes up a bit.
This seems to be a recurring problem with the new generation of non-industrial food suppliers which, reduce the use of undesirable ingredients, but with food friendly logistics pipelines that aren't as harsh or distant, many seem to slap a sticker warning of foodborne illness and call it quits, leaving you on your own to decide whether something perishable seems fit for consumption, even though no one is equipped to assess for spoilage by eyeball.

After a recent upgrade to a local supermarket, they started stocking many more high quality, gourmet, fresh, organic, provincial and raw options, but the underskilled staff were not diligent enough to support the products, and after getting a few sore throats and then two painful scares of food poisoning involving blood, I can only look at the high-end product line like it's a shelf full of knives that the manager, stock personnel and cashiers would try to stab me in the gut with.

It really pisses me off, not simply the wastage of costly, valuable, desireable food, but that these huge supermarkets are so desperate to fight tooth and nail with niche outlets in a game of sheer survival, that they blunder into stocking delicate products without the expertise or care needed to provide it safely.

So now, not only do we have food stores that can only manage sell highly preserved non-nutritious garbage, caked in salt, drowned in high frutose corn syrup, and contaminated by colors, preservatives and artificial flavor chemicals, but now the same store is destroying truckloads of better food and getting people sick with it.
The business model of all fintech is to ensure straight-through processing for as close to 100% of transactions as possible; if you have slightly more manual processing than competitors, then you can't be competitive price-wise.

A requirement "out-of-band communication [..] before any outbound wire transaction can be attempted" easily turns the processing cost (not price) from $0.02 to $20+ per transaction, a thousandfold increase, and that's assuming that this'd be offered as standard product and not a special case for a single customer.

If it's not made as a standard product, then it's really painful - it would mean that either the whole staff&systems would have to be trained for that customers needs (not likely unless you're bringing 10+% of the whole bank's revenue) or the customer wouldn't be able to use any standard banking channels ever, not the normal branches, not the normal online services, not the normal call centres, only directly through your private bankers.
Looking purely at cash flow, it isn't profitable to buy and rent out an apartment in a lot of American cities at least.
If you have the skills to prove it, no prior remote experience, I absolutely cannot recommend Toptal[1] enough.

I went through their rigorous interview process which was definitely harder than any I've encountered, but once in, I've had the best work experience in my life.

My clients have been amazing, Toptal handles payments for me so no problems getting paid, and they're always there to help me out. I chose my hours, and rate, and being a part of the community alone has taught me so much.

Prior to Toptal my only source for questions was Stack Overflow, since I'm self-taught. Never before had I discussed the new features of a Rails launch in a Slack channel, or discussed the best ways to handle my SQL queries.

Disclosure: Shortly after joining the Toptal Network, I joined their Core team. However, their community and company culture is definitely the best I've ever seen.
> Most of the lights are going toward distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro.. And those shiny new distributions.

OpenSUSE I don't think really compares against any of those distros. SUSE Linux and OpenSUSE really compare better agains RHEL/CentOS. I think the biggest reason that SUSE lags behind most other distros has less to do with other distros being "shiny" and more to do with strong network effects. I tend to use CentOS or Ubuntu LTS simply because I know that googling "centos 7 <problem I'm currently having>" tends to yield a lot more high quality resources than most other distros.

Well Kitchener-Waterloo had the highest year-over-year house price increase in Canada in April/May (40% year over year), so I wouldn't call it "normal", but all signs point to the housing market in Ontario cooling if not crashing, so it will never get to the point that Toronto and Vancouver are at.
Generally, I would tell you to take the offer. However, in this case, you used a few words that worry me.

Are you suffering from burn out?

If you are, I have some bad news for you. An acquihire likely won't provide a short term fix to your burn out. Instead, going from co-founder to employee will be stressful. You will have a new set of organizational politics to deal with, and you may find yourself plagued with constant "what ifs".

If you do take the acquihire, remember that your start date is an incredibly important part of the negotiation. If you are burned out (and seriously my friend, you sound burned out), take a bit of time off before you start.
I mostly agree. Tory's strategy seems to be optics first, policy second. Even if it means going against his more conservative principles. It doesn't really factor in the people who live in neighbourhoods/areas affected by poor Airbnb tenants/renters.
It would be just fine to rely on SSN as an identifier, even to a much larger scale as USA does now, if only it would be clearly assumed that this number isn't secret.
> The same is true when the name is "continue" or "throw": you know where in the program that goto leads

> Modern gotos aren't nearly as bad because they generally take a label rather than a number, and because their jump targets are often restricted to the immediate lexical environment.

That doesn't actually apply for your examples of "continue" or "throw" though. "continue" has no label, numeric or symbolic; its target is implicit from the lexical scope. "throw" has a sort of label (the type/class of the given value/exception), but its target is determined by the dynamic environment. Given a function like:

function foo() {
throw Bar;
}

There is nothing in the lexical environment (i.e. the blocks within which it is written) that tells us where this will jump to. That information depends on what the stack looks like at the call site, which may be written by someone else, on the other side of the world, 20 years from now.
>...but the reality is that we have not had much confidence in the business for a while.

It's possible to be a true believer but still have doubts about logistical matters, such as ability to execute or the product's sales potential.

If you and your founder are completely demoralized on all fronts, have been for some time, and there's no way to rectify that (e.g. perhaps fixing your burnout), then by all means throw in the towel.

If there's still a spark somewhere, then do what you think is best.

>...and hundreds of thousands of dollars of opportunity cost income, I am tired.

I know the feeling, and it burns. Perhaps you can negotiate the acquisition offer to make up for that?
Where are you getting the ~80k salary figure? (edit: sincere question!)

My experience sees an average of 10 to 30k less than that within the city save a couple of outlets (at the developer level).

The rest of what you're saying is totally valid. Most of the places I've rented have been owned by people living at (put mildly) great distances from the city. This seems to be a common experience.
hmmm.....frame it. 3 months from now and things are status quo with startup, will you be mildly peeved you didn't accept the acqui-hire offer or maddeningly furious/depressed?

Not fat (the replacement was also fat) but rather saturated fat was the evil one.
Free markets have categorically failed to deliver; competitive markets have been successful.

I'm starting to suspect that there's an intentional disinformation campaign to obfuscate that point. (Okay, I'm being coy: I'm fairly certain that people who dislike functional capitalism are using the term "free markets" to lead us away from working capitalism and back into serfdom.)

> if US continues its systematic and unfair ways of keeping citizens of India and China from immigrating to US

Canadian policy was always much easier than US for immigration. I wonder then why Indian/Chinese did not go in much larger numbers to Canada as compared to US.
Thanks. Thats a solid start. :)
That sounds about right. Also, there's some cost to readjusting prices, so that probably introduces some price change hysteresis.
The word "better" is too subjective to make any kind of meaningful assessment.
If you're doing the kind of work that requires close collaboration with others, face-to-face or is customer-facing, absolutely.

The terms of the deal allow us to mostly pay back our investors in full and would line us up with great jobs. It is not the exit we dreamed of but it gives us a nice story for the future and allows us to "wipe our hands clean".

Given the amount of stress you are dealing with, this sounds like a good thing to me. You get to undo the damage this has done to your finances, I assume it also would let you get the surgery you need and you can stop running yourself into the ground.

What are you hoping to get if you don't take this? What makes you hesitate to take it? Are the things that give you pause genuinely realistic scenarios or issues?
That's fine, but if aluminium costs $1000 more and there are obvious benefits, then it's no longer the same computer for $1000 less. The quoted Dell is not $1000 cheaper for the same computer because it's objectively not the same computer.

Try reading what I am saying without projecting anger into it. Just because it's not to your liking doesn't mean it's angry.

Also - there is nothing you have said that indicates you are a sympathetic counterparty. How do you expect us to know that? Therein lies the problem.

Empathy is not sympathy.

Empathy is the ability to model another individual's internal state. Sympathy is resonance with the emotional value of that state.

The more empathy you have for someone, the better you are able to anticipate and meet (or thwart) their needs. I can hope you will win a game of chess (sympathy) whether or not I can guess the next move you will make (empathy).

Empathy is the outcome you want. Racism, sexism - objectification is the inability to model another's internal state sufficiently.

Material restitution would not change these underlying dynamics, and, moreover, is hinged on an implied subsequent social egalitarianism that it does little to bring about. Reverse those material inequities without denormalizing the attitudes that put them there, and it's only matter of time until the inequities will return: nothing has been actually been done about the root cause. For that, empathy for the outgroup in question has to occur, to the point where people do not make the misapprehensions that are dehumanization, and treat them with the respect they deserve in an egalitarian society.

If you think this is impossible or unnecessary to achieve, then the reversal of material inequities you seek will only happen under the barrel of a gun - one pointed specifically at those groups who you consider responsible for the status quo. Moreover, in order to take that attitude, you implicitly judge them as incapable or undeserving of an egalitarian status in society. In other words, the specific discrimination of a group, based on their dehumanization. So, how is this not 'fostering oppression'? :)

Society exists under the tacit assumption that all our needs are being met appropriately. This may not be accurate, but only through empathy can that assumption be challenged appropriately.

It's not at all different in theory. In practice, Google Fiber is dead on its tracks, isn't it? They are no longer expanding.

The big players in USA need real competition -- something that goes to their cities and offers a better service. A very niche solution like Google Fiber won't do.

Every time I've had to use SUSE, I've ended up getting bitten by one really bizarre implementation choice over another.

Point in case, about 4-5 years ago I was fighting the extremely strange mechanism they'd built in for managing firewalls, and the set of init scripts associated with it. It was utterly bizarre, even with multiple people looking at it, trying to wrapping their collective heads around it.
There's also the externalized cost of disrupting communities. AirBnB is significantly changing the dynamic of where these people live and they get nothing in return for it.

I find it interesting that people who normally are so pro-contract (you can contract away your right to sell a printer cartridge) seem to be in the other camp when it comes to dwellings (well of course you don't have to abide by the contract saying you won't rent it on AirBnB) or just silent on the issue.
By supporting your position with these examples, it sure seems like you are continuing to try to equate the two.

Western media: "China is building infrastructure that doesn't make money!"

Beijing: "We are connecting economic development to border regions and neighbouring countries for geostrategic and unification purposes, we don't care about cost"

Personal observation: Beijing is smart. I personally lived on and near the southwestern Chinese border for most of the last 16 years and they are definitely kicking ass with infrastructure, including high speed trains, renewable energy (wind/hydro/solar) and highways. They have achieved their goal of economic integration for a lot of formerly isolated people. There were abuses earlier but now they generally give people who are moved a pretty good deal, eg. free rice and oil for life, free apartment plus a life long monthly stipend per household member (source: Personal interview with someone to be moved, Chinese New Year 2017).

Western media: "Build it and they will come!"

Beijing: "They are already here."

Personal observation: Beijing is basically right, except in some private sector residential building projects.

Does these questions require superpowers? I think no but a bit different thinking model for sure. For example thought that "file is somewhere" is already miss match for model since point of hash based file systems is usually make location irrelevant.

Traditional deletion should be split to real delete and unlink (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14541776).

Editing mutable file you just mutate it everywhere since it's just single file after all. Editing immutable content is same as creating new file.

I think system on article doesn't suffer duplication problem (due tagging, for immutability maybe). There is no problem showing file on multiple path or "result of multiple query" without data deduplication unless we somehow try to brute force tag FS over traditional HFS. If I understood your concern correctly...

This is based on an almost ludicrously simplistic straw man: you conjure up the idea of someone who is "showing genuine interest in coming over you your side"

How are they 'showing' this exactly?
What makes it 'genuine' that they want to come over to another side?
Why are they on a 'side' in the first place, and what makes you think that the goal is to have them change 'sides'?
Are you saying they are not already on 'our side'? What does that imply?
How can you distinguish their arguments from those of people who simply want to argue their position and remain ignorant?
It won't, though. You still need to get to work, and there's still going to be a shortage of housing near workplaces.

The number of office workers that can, and will opt to work remotely, because they will spend an extra ~$3/day on commuting will be a drop in the bucket.
Here's a real-world benefit I had over the weekend. I've been using Terraform for a Google Cloud project, and was coming to setting up DNS records. I wanted to have dual DNS providers for redundancy. With Terraform, it was trivial, as I just added a second Terraform resource for DNSimple (with Google Cloud DNS as my 'main' DNS resource).

The beauty of Terraform is that you can orchestrate all of your infrastructure, not just the stuff in one stack. If you've got 95%/4%/1% in AWS/Azure/GCP, how do you manage/reference the non-AWS resources? Terraform gives you a unified way to reference and link cross-infrastructure resources.
> In a way, Canada pays decently. You'll be very comfortable as an engineer in Canada, even with a large family. But compared to certain US cities, it's abysmal.

Hmmm depends on where you live. In some places a large family would be quite unaffordable. The average cost of a detached house in February in Metro Vancouver was $1.76 million. Vancouver has become so unaffordable that even those with great (for Canada) six figure salaries would find it very hard to cobble together enough money to buy property.
Can't sort the table, and copy the whole document (though copy-paste of individual cells works). Is it Google's fault or is it published in a wrong way?
From an EU perspective, obtaining a fake ID isn't that likely - counterfeiting anything certainly is possible, but it's hard and expensive (harder than counterfeiting money), risky (being caught with a fake means jail time, it's a more severe crime than theft and there's no "take-backsies" if they don't like the ID) so fraud with fake IDs is extremely rare.

It may happen with certain large scale scams involving organized crime, but not for small amounts; it simply doesn't show up in practice. What does happen is use of real IDs that are stolen (or bought from homeless people), but most places that have some risks have access to registries where they can verify if the ID has been reported as stolen.
