I run Mate on two 4k monitors and it looks great, you just raise the font size in the control panel until readable.
True and nobody is really arguing that point.

Producers should be looking for ways to produce more efficiently. Governments should be working on the social problems. We all have a part to play in making our economy work well.
That's why normal people work 40 hours at most...
Very true, however you make it sound like economists actually do caveat their hilariously simple economic models with "this is a wild guess of how the real world works". Whenever I've read it it has been presented as "this is how a market works" or whatever.
> Norway a socialist society.

This is literally false. Socialism entails worker ownership of the means of production. Norway is a social democracy, not a Socialist society. It's worth remembering that in Marx's time, Socialism and Communism were synonymous.

Open salaries is not the root problem in your example, it's the rigid "tiers."
No, it would be breaking an agreement or somesuch. If you're generating your own power you're not taking anything from anyone else, so it's not stealing.
You don't need cladding on a simple light pipe.

Did they consider non-electronics solutions? Who knows. It may be the sooner they discover where the fuel went, the sooner they need to start spending the $80B to dig it out. So slow is a feature.
For a clue what price means, criticize Islam or its Prophet and see what happens.

Be that as it may, WHAT occupation? HOW illegal? Do you have formal proof of these two?

Just another fake Jew.
Your comment's parent was sarcasm.
Bosses tend to create (or encourage) this kind of behaviour. This is either an infrastructure or a management issue. If there aren't enough toilets, your infra sucks. If you need to discuss work while taking a dump, management sucks.
Is there any evidence for this? Some prominent Socialists would disagree with you, especially anarchist ones, such as Bakunin, Kropotkin and probably even Marx and Engels themselves.
so, they're asking people who didn't use go because of generics to provide experience reports on the specific kind of problems they encountered when writing go ???

I write or use generic code in every single of my projects. i don't need to start coding in go ( which i did) to understand what i'll miss. i did my share of void* casting in C and i know how much it sucks.

This is an old problem. Everybody knows what the use is and what the benefits are. They tried to show the world that they were wrong and they failed to convince that people could get away without this feature. Now all they need is to get over it and start implementing something to fill that gap.
This is exactly why I insist on using the wording "automatic memory management" instead of "garbage collection". When you say AMM, it's clear and intuitive: it means an object's lifetime is not really under programmer's control, but is up to some automatically working algorithm/mechanism. But if you say GC to mean not tracing GC, half of audience is doomed to misunderstand you.
I'm sure they care to some degree. It's not like you don't get better idea of the culture by having an onsite...
Have you calculated the dose you experience from that and the impact on life expectancy vs. coal?
I think that crypto news are still underrepresented on HN. The recent crypto topics (such as ICOs, Solidity, Tezos, EOS, ETH's Parity which is btw written in Rust) surge in word-wide traffic outperforming last year trends (AI, bots, VR) by far.

I hunt for respective news on other sites because HN just provides the most important crypto news. There's a lot more out there, it's new and complex. It's good to read stuff multiple times from different sources to get familiar with this new world order.
Actually ignorant fake Jew. It's easy living in the US. Go live in Israel and see what price means.
There are multiple nuclear reactors sunk into the ocean already. Japan could shove the entire Fukushima complex into the sea and it wouldn't come close to doing what coal has done to poison the oceans.

Note that even if you think radiation is particularly scary and vastly worse than chemical poisons, coal power plants emit many tons of uranium in addition to all the other nasty pollution.

What is your basis for that last statement? Coal: about a million deaths per year. Nuclear: about half a million ever, including weapons. Given that, how can you possibly say that damage from nuclear is orders of magnitude bigger?
But those are not related to the software development, while negotiation is related to work in general.

Someone who lifts weights is also responsible to negotiate a contract with his manager.

I guess the question is then how do we decide which skills should be artificially governed based on how good they are for people?

And lets take another point of view. Sales, for example, is based on negotiating skill. Do we say that is also market inefficiency and should we somehow subsidies sales person with bad negotiating skill cos that would be better for their salary?

I don't know, I still feel like having the opportunity to negotiate is what counts (meaning no discrimination based on sex, race etc to actually be in position to negotiate) while the outcome is completely dependant on person.

And if we really stretch the argument about which skills should be based for salary, we could say that it is not a software developer fault if he is not good at his job and somehow deserves to paid as the one who is dependant, for example, on years of experience.

I think people should be thought how to negotiate rather then making some artificial rules that there should be no negotiation at all cos someone is not as good at it.
Really he got access to a sever running php help desk software. Nothing really important or crazy. The exploit was as simple as uploading a command executor script.
Most modern software development methodologies have elements to address your point 1. For example Scrum has daily standups that specifically inform every attendant about progress and blockers. Kanban mandates that you visualize your workflow with a board.

Tracking the larger goals is often not well formalized, but I like this podcast episode about levels of planning in agile projects: http://deliveritcast.com/ep33-always-be-planning. It's often included in frameworks for scaling scrum, like SAFE of scrum of scrums.

2. is a purely technical problem. If I remember correctly, stuff deployed to heroku corresponds to git branches, so it should be pretty easy to create some visualization about what's deployed right now from looking at git repos. I could be wrong here.
Yes, I find it so midcentury I read it in a particular voice in my head.
There's a huge marketing push at the moment for this fork as well on one of the Bitcoin subreddits. I suspect it's being pushed by ViaBTC, which just launched "futures trading" for it (as well as probably being the only miner), and has a lot of $ to gain by people trading on their service.

EDIT: yeah, totally organic growth I'm sure https://screenshots.firefox.com/1Jd3clym3pT37nAH/www.reddit....
Rather than "profoundness" I'd argue that there's something inherently beautiful about it. Granted, beauty is not a objective measure of anything in particular, and "we are like starstuff" might be an overly done cliche, but we humans are mostly driven by subjective and aesthetic notions, especially when we're young. If we taught more children that we are -really- like stars and how, with pictures and math they can grasp, we'd inspire more of them to get into science and technology, perhaps even bring spacefaring tech and the stars themselves a little closer to us in the long run.

Also, this validates cosmic brain memes.
Most big tech companies give a substantial portion of compensation (up to 50%) in the form of RSUs, even for "ordinary" engineers.
>It encourages individuals to do better for themselves, it encourages competition, just like in nature.

Oscar Wilde argued that Socialism is what would push individuals to do better for themselves individually.

Further, if you're interested in the "nature" argument, Russian anarchist philosopher Kropotkin has written about it in The Conquest of Bread and Mutual Aid, in which he dismisses these ad natura arguments.
I think janteloven also plays a part here, although I am not sure which part....

> There is no practical difference between a pirate library and a brick and mortar library, except the larger stock of books online.

Physical libraries purchase the books they own, own them legally, and can legally lend them out. The practical difference between the two couldn't be more stark - physical libraries operate within the law, pirates operate in spite of it.

>My local library even has a photocopier.

They don't intend for you to use it to copy the books they lend you, though. There's a reason that libraries don't run printing presses in the back and only carry limited copies of a book - because they depend on copyright law for their survival.
Exactly. And Bureaucracy doesn't necessarily suck on it's own. When it's used properly it protects people who are unable to protect themselves due to funding or ignorance.

Hasn't Yelp's app implemented this feature (called Monocle) for half a decade now? Could anyone explain the difference?
>The last 40+ years of globalization have raised more people out of poverty than at any other time in history

This claim is a prime example of the cargo cult pseudoscience that's in question here. No causal relationship is established between corporate globalization and it's just assumed as an axiom that "we must be responsible for it!". It totally ignores the factors of technological progress, decolonization and self-rule, as well as the efforts of countless NGO's. It's not just wrong: it's horribly misleading.
> Also a curved display is pretty questionable for professional image editing (it distorts pixels).

Isn't the point of a curved display that at the designed viewing distance, each point (at the same vertical position, at least) is equidistant from the viewer, eliminating the distortion that occurs that occurs when viewing a large flat screen.

It would seem to me that for professional image editing where you often need to zoom in to a higher magnification than an image would usually be viewed at by the target audience, a curved display would be very useful.

You probably also want to verify work on a display and conditions (viewing distance, etc.) that match the target environment.
Deflation is not a bad thing in all economic theories. An iPhone and many current food items would have cost millions a century ago, yet here we are, richer than ever.
Yeah we used to use Jira for a < 10 person team mostly based on my insistence and it ended up being too much tool for our needs. I begrudgingly agreed to switch to GitHub issues and it ended up working very well for us.
I would suggest that if you have any friends who work for either a state or federal government pick their brains. I spent several years in public service and you would be amazed at the level of workplace politics that surrounds the business of politics. I refer to myself as a reformed public servant because I try to do what is right for the users of any service and for the company. I rarely worry about the agendas that drive most politically driven decisions. When you put politics first you always have your eyes on the toes you could step on before you have your eyes on the recipient of your products/services. My experience is that government employees do this exceeding well. As an aside, government employees are also the best at being able to talk and never really say a damn thing. It is truly a skill that you pick up even if you do not want that skill in your toolbox. It will serve people well if they have to be political in their organizations to advance.

I also have found in my career that if I hire people who can take my place then I was able to move up. Many times bosses won't promote someone they would really like to promote because there is nobody to fill his or her position if promoted. Always hire someone capable of replacing you. It takes courage but it is the right thing to do for the company and in reality it makes you look better in the long run.

Never sacrifice yo ur integrity for the sake of workplace politics or advancement. In the long run it will bite you in the butt. Take on projects that are a bit outside of your comfort zone and continue to work on your own professional development as well as those around you. If you do these things, hopefully the politics will not be as necessary as you think.
Yes, but if $ isn't as much of a concern, then what can beat Eizo? :)
Why does understanding remove profundity?
From your Reddit comment:

I have no issue with the people that invented a specific technology getting rewarded for that. But that's not what's happening here. You're giving a few early adopters most of what you want to then use to price all the assets in the world.

I'm not sure anybody is saying that bitcoin will be used to price all assets in the world. USD currently isn't, for example. It's just the dominant currency.

A reasonable estimate for all the dollars in the world is 10 trillion. Say that bitcoin being a full sucess is it being valued at a total of 5 billion. Now consider that Satoshi has about 5% of all bitcoins that will ever exist. That puts him as 3x richer than the current richest man in the world. I don't see anything in bitcoin that justifies that kind of payout and that's for the inventor of the thing.

We don't have a justice system. We have a legal system. And this seems to be allowed under our legal system, so I'm not sure the moral argument is valid.

Why do you feel it's immoral for Satoshi to own 5%? We don't even know if he's alive or still has access to the coins, but let's say for the sake of argument that he does.
> We know from Chernobyl that the psychological consequences are enormous. Life expectancy of the evacuees dropped from 65 to 58 years – not because of cancer, but because of depression, alcoholism, and suicide. Relocation is not easy, the stress is very big.

In other words, nuclear accident is (pardon the Orwellianism) so un-dangerous that "fear of radioactivity" is more lethal than radioactivity itself.

Another way to put it is: when I see a group of anti-nuclear activists posing with children of Fukushima prefecture, asking "How long can they live?", it makes me shake my fist with anger, because they are literally harming these children more than the nuclear accident itself.
> "classic"

Is there anything more recent, in the same "unified" direction? I know Rust was experimenting with garbage-collected pointers but it seems like that's not really a focus anymore: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/faq.html#is-rust-garbage-col...
I actually find that the ease with which non-technical and - let's phrase this delicately - busy people can add new cards and even new lists (columns) to Trello is a significant detractor from its successful use in software project management. JIRA is significantly harder to use - I challenge any non-technical novice JIRA user to figure out how to add extra columns - but, for that reason, vastly easier to keep under control.

If you have stringent rules in place like "only the project manager can add cards, they can only add them in the sprint planning session on Monday morning, and we are keeping strictly to Kanban", then Trello will work fine - but any competent project manager should also be able to use JIRA, and will surely benefit from its extra functionality (and any non-technical stakeholder should at least be able to log into JIRA and click the requisite few buttons to see the current sprint and the backlog, if they care enough).

But hey, each to their own.
Post-it notes are an absolutely terrible mechanism even for a small colocated team. Trello is barely sufficient. It's a digital task list, not project management. I'm sure everyone is deliberately thumbing their nose at enterprise tools like JIRA, but I consider it absolutely essential. Take the time to learn how to use it. Pick a workflow that works for you and just enforce discipline. It can do release management. Even in an automated way with Jenkins plugins. Pair it with bitbucket and you can create feature branches from the UI for each ticket. You can easily match commits to which feature they were for.

I know there's also a lot of scorn for agile, but the core tenet is really just writing well-defined stories. Make each ticket the smallest possible feature with incremental value than can be built, tested and deployed. Then stack your tickets in priority order. Everything else about the process is for communication and visibility, but if you write your stories well, they are less important.
> However, whenever I see generalist managers at work, there always seems to be massive emphasis on schedule risk and at least in organisation I've been in, the proposed mitigation is always regular status meetings (and perhaps other forms of check-in as well).

I think the reason for that behavior is because they don't want to be caught unawares when some deadline is missed. In other words, one of the metrics they are measured on is meeting deadlines, which of course pushes schedule risk to the top of the pile. There's merit to that, but that has to be balanced with the quality of the product.

The blind spot for such managers is that constant check-ins and updates on progress too frequently interrupt the flow of people who need time to think things through. Adding pressure at the wrong point can possibly ruin the quality of the final product.
Even if passed, could this law withstand a challenge in court?

Deflation of individual products from innovation is not the same thing as general deflation in the economy. Economists general consider a small continuous inflation as the best outcome but I'm not an expert.

Is it though?

Who knows what kind of "soft center" is around the "hard shells" of these organisations?

For starters, the "uname -a" he ran shows the server's kernel to be from Jan 2016. Right from the top of my head, this is probably vulnerable to "dirtycow" (for which there are weaponized exploits on github).

Who knows where root on this server can get you? You're not allowed to check. Legally that's black. No bug-bounty program allows you to go beyond the "/etc/passwd" print.
It's always saddened me that so few in the US know that such a shockingly beautiful place exists. Nova Scotia isn't over an ocean, I drove there from Michigan. I've urged many friends to visit and those that have done so return ever so grateful for the recommendation. Unlike Europe, this place really isn't all that crowded even in summer.
I think the fact that both the left and right agree on this is insane and goes to show how little regard either wing has for actual liberty. Although I support Israel, trying to "protect" their country by stop individual actions is mind-blowing how backwards that action is.

For me, it just reiterates that politicians needs less time in office with less things to govern. I hope that this bill receives the attention it deserves to defeat it.
I checked out the biohack.me forum mentioned in the article and it's really disappointing that the only implants currently being tried are either magnets or NFC/RFID chips. I was expecting to find a vibrant sub culture with all sorts of new ideas for implants being tried out.
When I got to the point in the article where the Doctor promoting this amazing treatment (standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy BTW) OWNS the treatment centers which promote this specific treatment then I stopped.

Even people that aren't experts are skeptical. I wish experts were incensed or shocked or something stronger than skeptical.
Then they'll get people who live closer. Like I said, their business isn't built to give employees short commutes. Certainly retention is in their interests, but it's a means to an end. Moving their office is also a means to an end.

At my job we use https://clubhouse.io which is basically Trello but with a lot more helpful features

We can see what everyone is working on just by looking at the stories in our 'in development' list which show who picked up that story.

We can also group stories into epics and milestones to track progress towards larger goals
125kHz is the transmission frequency. It's one of the unregulated frequencies for RFID tags, but sort of an industry standard value commonly used in retail products and goats. Most other cattle use tags at 134kHz. NFC is mostly just RFID at 13.56mHz.
How can they force citizens to spend their money on Israeli goods and services? Or is it rather a ban on the promotion of such a boycott, rather than the act of boycotting?

If the latter, surely this can be still promulgated through a call to boycott apartheid states, or states that engage in illegal occupation, rather than explicitly naming Israel?
> A "Paypal server" is as meaningful a name as a "Google webpage".

If you can execute on a server that serves a "Google webpage" then I'll be impressed. No, it doesn't have to be google.com.
I've worked on several remote teams and for keeping up with each other the best combo I've found is a daily chat based standup, optionally with a standup-bot. Along with a ticket tracking systems with an in-progress state + a dashboard layout that includes your teams in-progress stuff.

For example my dashboard I has a 2 column layout, on the left top is my in-progress stuff and down the left side is the other team members in progress stuff. On the right top is my assigned tasks and below is monitored tasks. This layout is useful to me for tracking my work and I get to stay aware what the others are working on. It helps a lot to keep tickets small in scope, so you can rotate them fairly often.

Of course what works depends on the nature of your teams work. Anyways, just some ideas.
Underground coal fires like the Centralia mine fire are an interesting and not as well known problem as oil spills.

> The fire is burning in underground coal mines at depths of up to 300 feet (90 m) over an 8-mile (13 km) stretch of 3,700 acres (15 km2). At its current rate, it could continue to burn for over 250 years.[2]
