I have a hard time finding news sources I can stand; basically all the major outlets just turn me off with their bias and verbose irrelevant analysis. Over the part year I've collected a few lesser known options you may find valuable too:

https://theintercept.com - mostly anti-propaganda efforts

https://phys.org - an aggregator often linking to primary sources

https://www.currentaffairs.org - political opinions that generally seem thought out

http://www.realclear(politics|world|*).com - a network of aggregators with a good balance

http://evonomics.com - economic perspectives I also don't mind reading.

I would really love to find more options - especially something in a debate format so I can judge arguments from multiple sides on an issue.
Did you try [chunkwm](https://github.com/koekeishiya/chunkwm) yet? It's the successor of kwm which I have tried on macOS.
Mainly I use i3 at Linux but for some work I have to use macOS as well.
The only native apps which feel Linux like are iTerm and Emacs (the mac port) because it's possible to suppress the window decorations. Every other native app takes for a real tiling wm too much space with its Titel bar and other frames.

Inviting someone on a date to church does seem odd. But what about the following:

Co-worker "What did you get up to this weekend".

Me "Just the usual. Lazy Saturday, church took up most of Sunday, what about you".

Co-worker "Not much just watched a few movies. You go to church? Really?"

Me "Haha yeah I do, you're welcome to check it out if your interested."

Those figures don't normalize for apartment size. The "cost to buy" figures do, however, and they show the US costing less than half the price in Germany.
I know Fedora 25 + GNOME will restart gnome-shell if it crashes. Not sure if it's implemented using a watchdog or if there's some listener for segfault events.

I know this because I have an unfixed and reproducible crashing bug in gnome-shell:

1) unplug my 4K monitor from HDMI

2) start up the Display tool in system settings

This is because conversion rate is not the right metric to analyze, spamming as a job hunting approach might work, but it is not the best method given the desired outcome.

When businesses spam people they are getting customers, so if they are converting 5.4% out of hundreds of thousands they can get some nice change, but when a job seeker is spamming potential employers he only needs one acceptable offer.

Of course, spamming and getting multiple offers can give you leverage or comfort, but unlike companies which are not advised to put all their eggs in one basket by getting a very large customer, job seekers usually can only be in business with one company.

So I think it would be better to consider Customer Acquisition Cost instead of conversion here, even if the CAC is hard to measure because when talking about job applications it's more about time investment.

The reasoning is that when you spam thousands of job openings you heavily reduce your cost or effort to apply for a job, sending resumes selectively means a higher cost of acquisition but if it lands you the 'big one' it means a higher return on investment.
The flip side is hemochromotosis, women doesn't necessarily become symptomic while pre menopausal. The blood loss masks/treats it until menopause.
The problem with your theory is that driving is optional and not something we engage in 24/7. Being alive is a continuous thing and we don't understand all the myriad things that contribute to stuff like weight gain.

I was seriously overweight for a time. It did not get better until I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder and began getting proper treatment for that. Until I had a proper diagnosis, my body just did not seem to work the way everyone told me bodies worked.

I ate healthy. I exercised regularly. I was well educated and well read. Yet my problems seemed to defy solutions for a lot of years, until I finally got the right diagnosis.

Most people who are overweight wish they could solve it. They often don't know how, even after taking all the usual advice.

New research into things like gut biome is beginning to cast light on such phenomena, but this is hardly a solved problem, contrary to what many people seem to think.
High iron also correlates to an increased risk of heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and more. http://www.webmd.com/men/features/too-much-iron-in-your-bloo... That's one reason why I donate blood regularly. They check my iron levels, then bleed off a bunch I don't need.

Use a computer to optimise for getting as close to the same number of people in each district with the shortest borders (probably roughly hexagonal districts). Carving up the populace on any other basis than 'number of voters' is sheer sophistry. No amount of weasel words about 'communities' will change that.
>Then why are you doing it?

Planning on getting out before the next cycle of crazy hours.

But to answer the question - various reasons. It facilitated a relocation to Europe. Rapid career progression to managerial level. Control over what projects I want to do. Multiple rounds of overseas assignments. Minimal supervision. Exposure to new things in a notoriously secretive industry. Pay is decent too, but that's not really a motivation for charging hard.

>is the job market too tight to get a less cruel job

No I can walk into a job with equal pay and far less stress tomorrow. It would kill progression & personal development though. I figure I can always coast later if need be.
Ask HN: How much equity to give a new (3rd) cofounder, ~1 year in?
Came up with an idea in Feb last year, and did a bunch of market research and worked out a basic technical plan over the next few months, part-time, with my friend.

The two of us started working on it full-time about this time a year ago, and are just about at the MVP stage--we're planning on doing an alpha launch this month. We effectively haven't raised money and consider ourselves 50/50 partners.

Two weeks ago, I was talking to someone who has been working on a SaaS product in the same space for the past few years (in Europe; we're on the other side of the ocean) and was about to release it. I offered for him to fly out and work with us for two weeks before he launched to see if he wanted to join us instead.

Working together has gone pretty well, and we're asking ourselves: what would be a fair/standard distribution of equity in the following scenarios?

1) He launches his product, and joins us a co-founder. Assume that maintaining it would probably take up about half his time for the first ~6 months and then gradually reduce to very little.

2) He doesn't launch his product, and instead folds his work into what we're doing. Our project is much larger in scope and his SaaS product could be re-purposed to fit what we're doing (as a fairly small component of what we're building), if we are successful.

Our project has a $BN ceiling, and is much more ambitious in scale, and is very high-risk. His product probably has a low-to-mid 6-figure revenue ceiling, is low-risk, and the market is likely to mostly disappear in the next few years.

My French friends would choke over that statement. To themm Macron is fairly right wing, with little connection to the socialist party.

Of course, with the way the election system works, once you were in the final round, it was macron or the devil, and most socialists went with macron,
There is no "technique" for LinkedIn job hunting that I know of, other than keeping your profile complete and up to date. Me personally, I'm a specialist with 11 years of experience, mostly in Java programmming and SOA architectures. There is a lot of demand for such specialists in my country, so I get contacted by recruiters quite often.

Regarding the offer that required no interview - turned out hiring manager and me had some mutual friends, so he just reached out to one of them to get an opinion about me.

For the other offer I had an interview, but it was very short - I think my resume speaks for itself, so it was more like loose talk about my previous projects than real evaluation of my technical knowledge.

Most things about job seeking are a time drain, not only it is hard to find companies because of fragmentation but when companies use terms such as 'developer', 'programmer', 'engineer'(plus the weird ones: 'ninja'/ 'rockstar') it gets much harder to search, I would kill for someone to come up with international standard codes for these like SE0001 for a software engineer.
The Alto hardware manual explains how the microcode works (see sections 2 and 9 and try to memorize Figure 1). For examples, see the existing Alto microcode. The subsystem manual p90 describes the MU microcode assembler and the syntax. See also RPRAM in the subsystem manual that describes how to load microcode into control RAM. I haven't seen anything like a howto/tutorial for microcode in the Alto documentation.

Money has three functions : unit of account, store if value, medium of exchange. Cryptocurrency isn't great at the first two, but if we presume the scaling problems will be solved then it is pretty good at the latter because it doesn't require you to trust the banking system. So there is an unbundling of the functions of money described by Eugene Fama originally and then tidied up and better articulated by Tyler Cowen and Randall Kroszner in their book on the New Monetary Economics in about 1992.

Its completely irrelevant what the price of Bitcoin is for its usefulness as a medium of exchange.

This medium of exchange aspect is very important because it makes banks no longer special since its possible in time to make payments without a banking system. Thus the role of the state in regulating banks can disappear eventually - no deposit insurance, no bailouts and no too big to fail.

Credit can be provided by funds because the information asymmetry of banks no longer applies when you can port your banking records via API.

Time to bring back DDT. It was banned for misinformed reasons without any evidence to show that accumulation contributed to cancer or anything else nasty in mammals.[1] Neonics are reported to be 5,000-10,000 more toxic to bees. [2]

A 5 minute walk in fields around me will lead to at least 3 ticks latching on. We're now facing the Lone Star tick that causes a life threatening meat allergy (wtf) and Lyme's disease. I've also personally reported one of the first cases of West Nile virus in this state from a found dead bird. Now there's Zika, which seems great for humans. Oh and we can't forget the re-proliferation of bed bugs as well. But yeah, we should keep trusting the newer classes of pesticides that don't work as well and haven't been studied as thoroughly.

You know, I'm not trying to make you feel bad here, but I wonder if that's the kind of question that needed some lead in? Usually when I meet a co-worker or acquaintance who I haven't spoken to in over a year (particularly if there is alcohol involved), I tend to be a little more conservative about how I bring up topics.

For example, in that situation, I might have said something like:

Hey, remember how you used to tell me all about your half marathon training? I just ran my first 5k...are you still training?

With those sentences you have:

1. Queued her memory.
2. Showed how that particular topic is relevant to you.
3. Asked your question.

That kind of approach also tends to be a more fertile conversation starter with people who I haven't spoken to in a long time.

Finally, this is harsh advice, but necessary to hear. One of the keys to people is understanding that some people are significantly more important to you than you are to them. You may use the phrase 'more than acquaintances' to describe your relationship to her. She may refer to you as 'some guy in IT'. Or, maybe she has never referred to you because you just aren't that important to her.

That isn't bad though, because it is just as inevitable that you are significantly more important to someone else than he/she is to you. Heck, 'that person who serves you coffee' may refer to you as 'le-mark le drool'. :)

Point being, our operating systems aren't all compatible.
Erlang's strings are even worse than that since they're non-constant time indexable UTF-32.
Someone tested this a while ago by sending online applications with equal Ivy League graduate resumés by just switching the name to stereotypical ones(it was something like John on one, DeShawn on the other), and the 'white-sounding' name had an overwhelmingly higher number of responses.
Hang on, deprecated != removed. Deprecated just means "do not use in new code", and you'll probably get a diagnostic by default for existing uses, which you might even be able to turn off with a compiler switch.

Also, not being able to create an automated tool to rewrite someone's code is not the same as not being able to tell them how to fix the code themselves.
In many ways this already exists in the photography world. Convincing photo manipulation is old technology at this point, and I think we've adequately adapted to it.

Have we? I'm pretty sure there's still a pretty serious problem with young girls developing their self-image based on heavily manipulated photos of models in the magazines they read. That's a benign example, as far as the purpose of the manipulation, which can be argued to be 'artistic'. An intentionally-damaging example of photo manipulation is much of the falsified propaganda that was distributed last year during the presidential campaign, which I'm sure included a lot of manipulated photos. That stuff definitely influenced the election, and our whole political climate. I don't think people, in general, have adapted to the idea that what they see isn't necessarily real.

Yes - that's right : people mostly shouldn't need to hold such high Bitcoin balances to buy things. What's in the way is the state interfering so you can't change dollars for Bitcoin with your bank and there aren't services that do that which are convenient enough. In time this will change so you can just make Bitcoin payments from your checking account.
Title mentions multithreaded programming, while the first line of the text (as well as major emphasis through the article) is on parallel programming.

And surprisingly, there is no mention of GPU.

Almost as if they want you to think parallelism can only be achieved through CPUs (cores, and threads) but don't want to admit it in the title.
Well ideally you have insurance before the "pre existing" condition exists (or is discovered).

However in general I think pre-existing conditions need to be handled by something other than "insurance" and the trick is to do it in a way that doesn't incentivize people from foregoing insurance until they get sick.
I'm curious, what kind of layout do you use? In particular, do you sometimes leave some part of the screen not not covered by some tile? (If so, why?) It seems to me that you always look for a grid, no?

Also, how many tiles do you end up having on average on the same window? I'm curious because to me any value higher than 3 doesn't seem practical, I'd rather switch to another window.

Finally, do you save your layouts? It seems like a lot of work if you have a very precise layout and it's discarded when you shut down.
I live by this rule. But I also don't really have many opportunities to meet women outside of work either.

At this point I just accepted that I'm gonna be lonely for the time being and am biding my time to save up money and leave the Bay. A human connection and romance just isn't worth the social cost these days.

"Don't shit where you eat" is a good rule of thumb once you realize that its not a game you can win.
I clicked through hoping to see a piece on the female engineers who work on Alexa, but it was an executive profile. You are right that executive profiles generally overstate the contributions of their subject.

One of the ways is to manually split indeed.

Although I must say that natural swarms show greater vigor when building new comb than splits. Even packaged bees built faster than splits. That is of course my experience and you have to keep in consideration that I didn't add any foundation to new colonies so that was maybe one of the reasons. I let them build their own comb on a narrow strip in the frame/top bar and never tried with full foundation.

In some countries that still plays very badly and it could change your relationship forever.

In the USA, which is an extraordinarily religious country versus other Western countries, the response is likely to be more nuanced, but there are sill the many matters of which religion, sect and so on to consider. Going to a (particular type) of church risks being seen as a political statement as well. Best to avoid.
But is Icaro more on listening changes on javascript objects, in a general manner, better than just the DOM ones?

I think that this light lib could be actually a cool toy to use if you need for example to do some simple app state listened manipulations on the node backend side.

Otherwise, that is true, I would maybe still prefer to use frontend side some well-designed frameworks like redux-Rx or redux-react

Show HN: 4vid – Download any video from multiple websites including porn
Hi guys, I've developed 4vid (https://4vid.co/), a website that let's you download any video from multiple platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vimeo and others. It's totally free, you don't need to sign up for absolutely anything and you can download as many videos as you want, whenever you want. Apart from the common video platforms, you can also download videos from famous porn websites such as Pornhub, Xvideos, Redtube, Xtube and others, so you can watch them without the banners on top of it, in offline mode.

It's very easy to use, you paste the url from the platform you are watching the video to our search box and click "Download". We will find the video file and open it in a browser so you can watch it immediately or save it to your local disk.

You can also use our service through our Android App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.fourvid.app...) if you are going to use it on mobile since its more optimised. Unfortunately, both the website and the app have ads so we can afford to pay for the server but we kept them as minimal as possible (sorry for that).

Hope you find this service useful. If by any chance we don't have the platform you need, feel free to contact us so we can update our service to include it. We'll be glad to do it.

All feedback is welcome, either good or bad, and we are up to suggestions. Thanks a lot!
There isn't much of a market for unlicensed medical help. There'd be a market for unlicensed coders. Anyone can write up a piece of code, and plenty of people can do it sufficiently well to be useful commercially. Moreover, there is tremendous growth in this area, most plans for economic growth these days centers around tech innovation. Taking that away is going to meet strong resistance.

Finally, this either kills open source or leads to very very weird grey lines. Besides that, drugs and buildings are well-defined products. Software gets weird, how do you apply rules to SaaS? How does sign-off interact with continuous delivery? Who is held accountable when a hardware bug causes a software error? What about an OS bug, or malformed packets?

I agree that we need regulation and accountability here, but blanket engineer-like requirements aren't going to work. Both because the actual requirement is hard to implement, and because there is such a glut for programmers. The second might blow over, but the first is an eternal issue.
Maybe requiring well limited fitness for purpose statements from engineers on critical cases can work.
Even assuming that this was true... the logic doesn't even make sense. If you have fewer people in an insurance pool, than the costs of it are higher. Pretty much by definition.

You can almost get away with this if you purport that the actual costs of the pool would go down. However, all it takes is one person having a surprise expense to demolish any small pool's planning.

Seriously, think on this at a level. Try to go in with just 5 friends to cover your costs for health. Works right up to the first time one of you visits the doctor. Which is to say it doesn't work.
It's likely that bumblebees are equally affected.
