Generally, agents in legacy airline lounges (e.g. a United Club, Admirals Clubs, etc.) are willing to do things like this.

Anecdotally, I've noticed that they tend to be more senior (so know what's possible / what they can get away with), less busy (so they're less frustrated and frazzled), and tend to deal with much more experienced travelers than a normal gate agent (so, again, they're less frustrated).
Just set all your pins to be the same
1) Force yourself to do as much as possible from command-line
2) When you Google for help and find a solution, keep Googling until you understand what you're doing

That worked for me. You could also read the man pages, but step #1 is crucial regardless.
When MIT rolled out IPv4, the world wasn't ready for it either.
Sorry, but NAT provides practical security for all but the most pedantic use cases.

I'm terrified of IPv6 for this exact reason - it assumes every device will have direct access to the Internet. As we've seen with security cameras and other IoT devices, they just aren't designed to protect themselves and are easily hackable, so making them accessible to the wider Internet is crazy. Firewall options for IPv6 for most home routers are limited at best at the moment... I for one am quite happy to have all my local devices happily running behind an IPv4 NAT (in addition to a firewall), knowing they can't be targeted directly without some sort of concerted effort.

I know this is unrelated to the post but I am genuinely/respectfully curious (since you left it as a bullet) as to the chain of logic that makes it okay to tax higher income people more. I've never understood that.

Full disclosure: if it were up to me, we would go with either a flat tax or something more sensible that an economist has proposed (i.e. Friedman's negative income tax). But that would, of course, largely abolish the need for the IRS and the thousands of jobs tied to figuring out taxes each year. In other words, I am definitely more keen on a strong vector toward Libertarianism.

With regards to cryptocurrencies, which the standard HN anti-crypto groupthink is bashing in full swing, let me just point out that most bashings I've seen on here are US-consumer-centric and don't consider the needs of countries with oppressive governments that aim to control the wealth and labor of their citizens. In these countries, cyrptocurrencies allow the movement of wealth to your family overseas, allow the store of wealth in the face of 30% inflation (Venezuela, Zimbabwe, etc.), and allow privacy and economic freedom. If your central bank wants to lower interest rates so that yields are even more negative, you can take yourself out of that system in which you have no vote or control. If you oppressive ruler wants to track every transaction and stop funding to political opponents, you can take yourself out of that system and do so if you wish.

Yes, it's not easy and not for everyone, but people in these countries go through enormous risk and effort to accomplish economic freedom.
> If you’re interested in contracting through Moonlight..

Thinking about it. Couldn't find any info on your site (from a contractor / freelancer perspective), so asking here.

1) How does it work once someone submits that typeform? what is your criteria for approval?

2) Who decided the hourly rate for the contractor? You or the Contractor?

3) The Orbit landing page says "Richa S 165$ / hour", "Jacob L" 150$ / hour. Are these real people or placeholders? Cos I couldn't click them to view their profile.

4) How much of the "165$ / hour" does Richa S get once approved by a client for work, assuming you (moonlightwork) take a cut. Is that negotiable between you and the contractor? Is it a 1 time fee or on-going based on the hourly rate?

5) Is the work done as 1099 Contractors? or W2?

6) Anything else you can add here, that will help potential prospects decide if this is worth applying for.

I really want a good to-USB adapter for those things. I love the Wii Classic Pro controller, and now these.... I've tried two different models from Mayflash, but the first stopped working after a couple months and the second liked to trigger wild, phantom stick movement every minute or two, making it unusable. No-one else seems to make such an adapter.

Gossip at the RLDM conference.
Really? Every time I hear 'how was your day?' from some random I don't know, it always seems like a silly question, almost a formality. I invariably respond with 'yeah, fine', just to get it over with.

I should maybe add that I struggle with small-talk at the best of times, so I'm probably a sales person's worst nightmare :)

Maybe I should also add that I'm from the UK, and we don't generally go in for 'have a great day' and all that American smiley stuff :)
It seems hard to accept but at this level there are actually only few people even being considered by virtue of

a) name recognition in the industry

b) past experience managing large companies

Whether they failed or not is almost irrelevant.

Boards would vote for an arguable incapable Marissa Mayer over some super successful but unknown higher middle manager from Google because she is perceived as less of a risk.

Why not use game emulators? With popular NES emulators you can advance the game frame by frame. You can read the raw memory addresses that correspond to the score. You can dump the memory at any time and reload the game to a specific game state. You can even manipulate the games in many fun ways by messing around with the game memory. Or give an AI algorithm access to memory addresses as additional information, instead of relying on pure machine vision, if you want to do that..

Here's an example of a guy who made a general game playing algorithm that brute forces it's way through any NES game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCurBYI_gY This isn't necessarily interesting from an AI perspective - the playing algorithm is just brute force. But it shows what can be done with the platform, easily reloading to previous states and exploring counterfactual futures (which is exactly the sort of thing RL algorithms do.) He also has a cool algorithm for finding the objective function of an arbitrary game, by watching a human play, and seeing what memory addresses increment. Which is a lot more easy to use than writing OCR code to read the score and game over states from the screen.

We're talking about a 4-digit search space. The system already needs (and presumably already has) extreme rate-limiting measures.
I work in the field of natural language understanding and in the last few years I've figured out how to use that very advantageously wrt learning.

Here's the approach I use:

- Every time you come across a new term or concept, you create a new "notebook"/document. That's right, one notebook per concept. The title of the notebook is the name of the concept.

- You create a summary for the concept using bullet points. What you're trying to maximize with this set of bullet points is the speed at which, in the future, you can re-read them and achieve a similar brain state to what you had when you originally learned the concept.

- You can then obviously have extended notes below that where you go into more detail.

- Then, crucially, you create something akin to a regex that will allow you to quickly and unambiguously look the concept up in the future. If you just learned what a rectified linear unit is, your pattern might simply be:

rlu | (rectified linear unit)

- You then have a hotkey on your computer -- I use Ctrl-Q, that brings up a text box where you can type the name of the concept you want to bring up (ex. "rlu"). When you press ENTER, it doesn't give you search results if there's an exact match, but instead directly opens the document and makes it instantly viewable / editable.

- As your concept graph starts to grow, you have links within your notebooks to related concepts as they're referenced.

- Each time you read an article that is important to your understanding of a concept, you quickly open up that notebook and add that article, and perhaps one or two bullet points that contain the key things you learned that expanded your sense of that concept.

- This same system can be used for more than learning text book information. You can use it if your a project manager to keep tabs on the millions of things you have to juggle, you can have notebooks for people, for lists, and you can have "regexes" for "programs"/scripts, for web pages, for files/directories, etc, etc.

- More general than "regexes" are context free grammars. In this context what that means is the ability to have named "subroutines" for your regexes. For example, if you end up using RLU as a sub-part of a lot of other notebook regexes, then you might define $rlu to be a short form for (rlu | (rectified linear unit)).
If your access point wont pass IPv6 traffic - you should consider another AP vendor. I have plenty of older network gear that cannot do IPv6 - but it passes the traffic along un-molested.
I agree. I meant the / to indicate that either one or a combination would have been helpful in different ways, but I certainly could have phrased it better.
Yeah, I agree!

I like the people I'm working with, am paid well, have a good work environment and have interesting work to do, but for some reason I'm not happy and feel on the verge of burnout (if it hadn't happened already). I've done startups in the not too distant past and while they were a lot more stressful (and paid very little - we had some funding and had revenues but we never broke even), I was definitely happier working in my own thing. My problem is similar to yours. My personal network is good for changing jobs, but I have no idea how to make it work for consulting work or a startup and I'm really terrible at networking and find it difficult to talk to people (or at least, I find it difficult to strike up conversations - after that I'm not too bad). I also feel like my skills aren't very useful broadly speaking. Maybe it's imposter syndrome because I am good at my day to day work (which can be quite complex).

I enjoyed the article though. It gives me hope that perhaps I can push myself and improve to the point where I can make something work. The thought of going out selling is a scary one to me though.
A perfect use-case is that you can bring the device for an after work or to a party. Everything is ready to go.
Compare that to that somebody without computer skills is going to connect a computer to a TV/projector, setting the right resolution, fiddling with multiple screen settings, set the right audio output device, attaching controllers, choosing and downloading an emulator, configuring the emulator, finding good roms for it.
Yes for ABSG, especially the manipulating strings and process substitution.

That and shellcheck(+syntastic if you use vim) ramps up the skill level quite fast.

> There's no open source network, graphics, peripheral and GPIO hardware that can be cheaply plugged into a synthesized design that can be sold at the price you want.

Why not PCIe? Aren't there already a bunch of design/validation/verification tools for it? A RISC-V CPU with just a bunch of PCIe lanes (and a couple of channels of fast DDR4) coming off of it (and maybe an IOMMU) would be a lot easier to integrate with existing hardware, rather than trying to recreate open-source equivalents of modern GPUs and network hardware.

You do realize that you're adding a third scenario?

You are saying that I can choose (no employment | exploitative employment | non-exploitative employment), whereas my post you originally responded to had (no employment | exploitative employment).

I agree with you. Expanding the set of choices is a good thing.
If it's NodeJS the fastest way is to check how many dependencies they have in total, bad developers will find a way to include 100s or 1000s of dependencies, anonymous third-party blobs of code running within their application:

$ npm install

Another indicator is how elaborate their build process to munge w/e they wrote into w/e a machine understands.

Same I still want a NES classic. Nintendo is missing out on sales. I've seen the classic selling for 200 - 400.
Well, I already ported Fractint to X Windows so I'm not looking to port it to the Alto too :-)
Very nice. I think the whole art of dealing with limited resources are lost on new programmers who have gigabytes of rams and gigacycles of compute. I love the old 1K demos for that reason, it really puts the puzzle back into programming.

In my experience, if you are familiar with RTL level synthesis of hardware then microprogramming isn't a huge leap (to me they feel very similar).

From the article:

For men and women, paid and unpaid, waking at 3am to care for a crying baby or bathing a distressed Alzheimer’s patient can be gruelling and transcendentally life-affirming all at once.

Lots of people take satisfaction in a job well done. This is pretty universally true, regardless of what kind of work you do. The above framing describes cleaning up other people's literal shit in near religious ecstasy type terms. If that isn't overblown, I don't know what is.

I did the full time mom thing for a lot of years. I raised and homeschooled two special needs kids and was a military wife. Finding good solutions that supposedly did not exist is something that I feel very proud of. But cleaning up literal shit never felt like some sort of joyous nigh religious thing. It was grueling, yes. Transcendental, big fat nope.

I am appalled by this article. You should go look up the recent article called "My Family's Slave."
Do you have a heuristic for determining what is/isn't worth learning? I personally try to learn the lowest level things I can, as I know that will have broad applicability.
But your plan will fail and seat you between me and my wife, since we don't have the same last name.
I'm not an expert on this stuff, but my understanding is the real issue isn't the sensor, it's the lens you put in front of it. You essentially have two ways to see smaller things from a fixed vantage point--put a longer focal length in front of the existing sensor, or put a higher resolution sensor behind the existing focal length lens. The problem is longer focal length gets big and expensive very quick, and existing lenses would limit the ability of a high resolution sensor. In many cases, high end professional camera with 36mp or higher sensors are hampered by the lenses that can't resolve that much detail.

Now, maybe in a few decades the CalTech lensless sensor will be commercially available and will work well enough that we won't have to worry about optics anymore, and it will all be silicon, but CalTech's sensor currently has something like 16 pixels total, so it has a long way to go.

One thing that has been extremely helpful for me is to work in Pomodoro sessions. I use a pomodoro session of 55 minute work + 5 minute breaks.

You can always build your own EmuBox, that does the same job and much more. For people who can't do that, I recommend looking into it, there are pre-build options, which require less effort to get running. Or "hire" a friend to build one.

Nintendo will always be the only one who can legally sell a finished product like that.
I am also working on related project. Flash and HTML5 games in chrome are great but they are very far away from the initially promised full blown GTA5, Starcraft and other complex envs. I am in process of remaking the Universe framework for host machine, since running those computation intensive games at reasonable frame is nearly impossible inside docker or virtual machines.
This particular decrease of demand is of work hour and jobs, and thus an increase in misery of particularly vulnerable people. If an economist is both rational and compassionate, they would need to believe that such price fixing has benefits that outweigh the increased misery.

I'm not familiar with those offsetting benefits. If they exist, please enlighten me.
