Don't know. Doing good mechanical design requires an organization that's good at making machinery. Not that many people are really good at mechanical design. I occasionally mention that I'm into restoring antique Teletype machines. All the good Teletype machines were designed by two people - Howard Krum and Ed Klienschmidt. Competitors mostly copied them, or produced unreliable machinery.

(I once worked at a hydraulics R&D facility for a big machinery company. They had that capability, and it took several acres of plant, with everything from overhead cranes to machine shops to scanning electron microscopes. It also took hundreds of people who've done it before. You need that kind of industrial backup. A laptop in a Starbucks is not enough. That gets you a design like Jucero, way overdesigned and overpriced.)
You still get the same three-char width, the ligature just makes it three lines tall, also.
On the one hand I agree with you about editing being harder. On the other hand, and having been an editor in the past, I can that overall it is much easier. Working within the writer's constraints is usually less difficult than trying to figure out what the constraints should be in the first place. As an editor it can actually feel pretty empowering to slash away any final barriers between the writer's intended message and the audience.

And, yes, good editing is invisible. It's a very good feeling, when you can discover the author's original mindspace, and hack away at it.

Video Player: mpv!

I had been using Ubuntu for years before realising that this amazing improvement over mplayer exists. And it has everything: GPU decoding, excellent UI, keyboard shortcuts, it's fast, and never fails. Of the software I use regularly, this one is by far the closest to perfection.
The job postings would be more interesting if discussion was allowed on them.
TextEditor:- I really hate gedit, it takes around 1 to 3 seconds to save a file.

It doesn't notify user if some foreign process changed or removed file.

When ever a user types in a bracket, parentheses..., It does mean that he/she is going to close that (most probably).

Indentation, only God can understand what it means for source code files.

Only one thing which I like in gedit is, cobalt.

I don't use Ubuntu, because I need a feature-rich desktop, not the opposite.

I could've used Kubuntu, but I hate it because of apt (for being too slow)

What I like in Ubuntu is better power management.

I could've used Fedora, but I hate it's package manager, for being inconsistent, and this text like Microsoft, "please wait while your system is being updated", "reboot to update your system".

Rather than feeling the pain everyday, I take pain for few hours and install Arch Linux, with KDE.

Having the best feature-rich DE, with latest and up-to-date packages, a package manger which just works out of the box even in worst network conditions, for having every application in one place...

I literally forgot what's the name for, including those community or independent developers application, URL into main repositories, which will most probably break the system.

I don't know why you guys choosed GNOME, everything is damn slow. I accept that it provides simplicity for its users.
> Add to that a lousy school system

We've had a reasonable experience in SFUSD. It seems like most parents are pretty happy with the quality of education, and many schools are highly rated (by third parties).

The problem with SFUSD is the horrendous lottery system. This is what drives people away.

They are now messing with the "funnel" plan they had set up for middle schools (no lottery for middle school, based on where you went to elementary). This has pushed at least two families I know off into private schools just in the past couple months.
You mean jurisdictionally? E.g. if the hacker was located in the US, or in one of the many, many countries with an extradition agreement since some of those distributed computations almost certainly occurred in the us. Or in one of the many, many countries whose hacking laws are explicitly modeled on cfaa...
If you're not British or a serious Anglophile it can be hard to believe that Nempnett Thrubwell or Newton Poppleford are real places.

I think I was a little unclear. I'm not actually proposing fuzzing alpha, just capitalizing on survivor bias. Basically my idea was that if you're going to spin up a 'normal' managed fund, you'll average tracking the market, with some chance of success or failure beyond that.

If that's all you're doing, you might as well go all-out on claiming to have secret sauce that produces your alpha. I'm not expecting you'll get any, just that you might as well have a media-friendly way of picking if you don't have an actually useful one.

It might be fairly simple to write up a REST API with flask and expose your models?
They mention this in the article. The wages that the growers are willing to pay aren't capturing the interest of the locals or even the immigrant workers (since they have comparable jobs back home).

It's worth it to them to invest in tech rather than continue to pay higher wages.
I don't know about exploits; it is a common trick used by pentesters.

IMHO, you only get lots of startups in the city at the rising part of the cycle. When everyone's so desperate for talent they'll do anything to woo young engineers.

There are plenty of very good experienced engineers that have no tolerance for commuting up to SF every day in this traffic. And also, most of the VC firms are in the suburbs too :)
Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants, where that giant is composed of everyone who stood on the shoulders of the previous giants, ad recursionum
But the point of the new triple-equals ligatures is that they're no longer only differentiated by length; they have three bars instead of two, as well.
Cherry MX come in a spectrum on both tactile and auditory (clicky) feedback.

MX Blues are tactile and clicky.

If you want tactile, but not clicky, then you would want an MX Brown. You can feel when the actuation happens, and as long as you don't bottom out the keys, they are silent. Many DasKeyboard models come with a choice of Blue/Brown, but other manufacturers have them as well.

Here is a site that has an explanation of the various colors:

> They could also, which is notably mentioned no where in the article, pay more?

From the article:

> And native-born Americans aren’t interested in the job, even at wages that have soared at higher than average rates.

> Not surprisingly, wages for crop production have climbed 13% from 2010 to 2015 — a higher rate than the state average, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis of Labor Department data.

> Growers who can afford it have begun offering savings and health plans more commonly found in white collar jobs.

Margins are thin, though, and the article makes it sound like it is more efficient to grow less labor-intensive crops and import the other crops.
I don't think there is an appeal. I would move 15 minutes to work _in a heartbeat_ if I could afford it. Starter homes near my job go for $1.2M+. The difference in housing costs between where I live and 15 minutes to work are about 10X the total cost of a car + all maintenance and gas. So I commute.
note you can kinda use ligatures in emacs by doing something like

"That said, if I understand it, the "attacker" was just the first person to truly understand the contract and exploit that understanding, no? If what happened isn't what the creators of the contract intended, then that's the fault of the creators, not the "attacker"."

I would go even further and suggest that the user (not "attacker") of this ethereum contract proudly stand up and identify themselves - without fear of retribution.

This individual played their game by their rules.

They are not an attacker, this was not a hack, and nothing was stolen.
I love Iosevka Term! My only issue with it is that there seems to be a problem in Emacs 25 that makes the screen flicker once in a while when I use it. For Emacs, I like to use Fantasque Sans Mono, another amazing font.
It sounds like he is doing both (managing investments and doing research) simultaneously. From the article,

> Lun, who was born in Hong Kong, splits his time between his firm in Pennsylvania and lab at Rutgers, where he’s undertaken an ambitious long-term project: creating computer models that predict how cells behave, using data from blue-green algae and other sources. The models allow Lun to re-engineer genes for useful purposes: he has modified E. coli for production of bio-fuel for transportation.
Heh, it's like that scam where you email people your predictions for who will win each football game for a particular team, where different groups get different winners. Each week some of the emails are right and some are wrong. After six weeks, 1.5% of your original folks will have seen six correct predictions, at which point you ask them for $1000 to see the 7th prediction which they are likely to pay for since "you're so accurate!".
The rising wages is notably mentioned in the article, and it is the implied reason for automation - the industry is not going to replace cheap workers with expensive workers, it's going to restructure everything (including the crop species it grows) to ensure that cheap workers are replaced with machines.

If some industry is employing $10 million of labor and market wages go up 20%, the expected outcome is not spending $12m on labor, you should rather expect something like spending $9m on labor and $2m on machines that weren't worth it back when labor was cheap but are worth it now.

Many industries, including this one, employ humans only because (and only while) they can do it cheaper than the machines. Yet. As the technology matures and becomes cheaper, and people want to earn more, the result is going to be simply less jobs.
Well, providing the replacement engine as part of the language compiler package as a simple command-line tool you can hook into your editor of choice as a hotkey so I can say "replace all the operators in this file with their appropriate mathematical unicode counterpart".
Extreme commuting has always fascinated me. I don't like to commute and so early in my life my wife and I worked very hard to get into a small 'starter house' in the middle of things. It was a good choice for me, given how much I don't like commuting. But a good friend of mine who worked at NetApp lived in Livermore which is 40 miles away in exchange for a bigger house and a larger lot, a lot of the reason that was 'ok' for them was the 'ace' commuter train(1). When I worked at Google there was a good friend of mine that lived in Marin county (about 75 miles away) and took the Google shuttle.

What all of these things have in common is that for most of the commute if you aren't driving and can do 'productive' work, the time isn't really "wasted".

And that kind of thing leads to all sorts of speculative questions;

Like what if a town outside of New York invested in their own train that would take residents to downtown Manhattan? If you compare the sales tax and property tax revenue of those people with the cost of operating a small passenger service to Manhattan how does it compare? How about a bus service like Google does for its employees?

At what point would it make sense to have a train that was the office? Given the price of real estate when does a company benefit from having a train that rolls in a loop amongst some number of cities and people get on and get off when the train returns to their city. Could you topologically arrange it so that a city was re-visited every 8 hours?

How will self driving cars change this? Clearly a commute isn't as big a deal if the car is driving you (its your own commuter bus to work, but with all your stuff and you are in control of who rides with you). Should we be buying up property in the Exurbs in anticipation of the huge demand? What about 'driverless car roads' that go from the exurbs to major cities?

It is a lot of fun to speculate about.

The very thing amk_ is praising is that this issue is fixed in both Fira and Monoid by the triple-equal being not just longer but represented using 3 horizontal bars rather than just 2.
If I actually learn it as opposed to just reading something I keep track of it by remembering it. That's what learning is.
This is pretty brilliant. My biggest concern is that if my password for a site gets compromised, it gets a lot more complicated. Presumably I'd have to memorize a separate master password for retrieving the new password for that site.
I'm sure they're afraid that people will bash certain companies in them. But I'd like that too. They should let the company moderate the discussion in those posts. I don't care if they're highly censored, I think there would be a lot of value to being able to ask the company questions about the roles.

No. I forget things that I've learned, of course, but I don't forget that I've learned them so if I need to use something I haven't thought about in a while it's not hard to bring that knowledge back to the surface.

I work my memory out a lot, though. Some days I'll collect license plates, or of I am reminded of something but can't remember where it comes from I'll spend hours or days working to pull that memory back to the surface. I use search engines to gain new information or for confirmation of things I'm not sure of, never ever to help me remember things I feel I should remember but have forgotten.

Reading books and writing some things by hand are both helpful. I have some favorite books that I've read repeatedly and knowing whole passages is valuable. Writing is the best aid to memory. Often I'll make notes on something and then never look at them again because the act of writing (which is slow and tedious compared to typing) has helped to fix them in my memory.

QNAP fails to reveal data corruption bug that affects all 4 NAS
Hey! It can power a fan overnight no problem. A large box fan uses around 45W, so this could run it for 10hours on a day's charge. Good point!

To your point of expense – the installation cost is what bummed me out, too. That's exactly why the hack is so effective if someone in your family can self-install it! I agree. Similar to an AC unit or a satellite dish that most people just install themselves...
It does for me.
> That's if you have one trade per year. How would you model this if you have 25 monkeys throwing, say, 300 darts at the board per day, for every day that the market is open (252 days), for five years?

If the data is reported on a yearly basis then it's pretty much the same thing.
This is a deeply personal choice, I feel. I am not a fan of using ligatures in programming code as it gives some abiguity around how many characters are in a given ligature.

To each his/her own, I guess.
Interactive Mind Map for Learning Python

Do you know of a decently built and split design keyboard that uses them? A quick googling didn't show anything. I'd be willing to give it a shot but I'm not going back to a one piece keyboard for anything.
Show HN: Orchestra – Helping you build better relationships
Thanks for this interesting write-up on AST-based editors. Smalltalk has some of these ideas, and you might want to have a look at TexMacs (even though the project is abandoned). Like you, I feel that linear text-based editors are severely holding us back in communicating our intentions and inventions. I've had very similar ideas myself and even worked shortly on a Lisp which recursively forms an editor for itself (using a meta-object protocol).
Having worked in both the startup and the corporate world, I've come to realize the significant importance of building human relationships, whether it's dealing with customers, investors or employees. However, with so many interactions going on, it's hard to keep track of all the details. And given the busy lives we have today, there's magic in remembering to reach out from time to time to keep the relationship strong.

Orchestra is being built to solve this issue and it's in the alpha phase right now. I'm looking for testers to give it a whirl and provide feedback on whether this would be useful to you as well.

Once you've signed up, I will send you a direct link to test it out. Thanks!
Okay, I know you're joking, but this is exactly how I interpreted the title and I was so excited to see a picture of some suits staring at some green water and trying to read it like tea leaves.
Rails and Flask are apples and oranges; something like Sinatra would be closer. There's no way to know if it's a "waste of time" because we don't know what you're doing or why. There are more Rails-like frameworks for Python.

If you have a "burning desire" to learn something, then learn it. But the notion that it'll magically make all your development easier is a pipe dream.
Perhaps ICO investments are not yet large enough to matter, but one would wonder if that is drawing away some of the money that would have otherwise been invested in the more traditional way measured by the article.
Wow, that is an extremely thoughtful judge.
Autoremove old kernel from /boot - this might look nice on "paper" however I have significant issues on latest LTS with any version of kernel 4.8 and 4.10 where I can't ever get to desktop, so I have to stick with 4.4 (Broadwell Core M ultrabook). If a reliable kernel is gone, I might not be able to boot unless I prepare an emergency USB stick and carry it with me all the time...
As the very article notes, Hasklig is a fork of Source Code Pro with programmatic ligatures. In much the way Fira Code is a ligatured version of Fira Mono.

Reposting a seattle subreddit comment because it would be mostly relevant here (we have trash / recycling / compost collection).

As a suggestion to all the robotics / computer vision / AI geeks out there: Build an automated trash sorter with a very high degree of accuracy.

If you want the incentive, here it is. Everybody has 3 separate bins. By having 3 separate bins, not only do we force lazy people to think about how they classify their waste into those 3 separate bins, but we also end up with 3 different waste trucks driven by 3 different drivers back and forth between 3 different waste depots. And we still get it wrong, misclassifying compostable things as recyclable, recyclable as trash, etc., forcing us to pay for processing costs to sort out the 40+% of stuff that gets misclassified.

This adds up. Waste management is a $75B industry [0]. Let's break down how money is spent, and how your system will help:

1) 55% is spent on collection. Your sorter can eliminate up to 2/3 of that, but due to variant efficiency factors maybe it is only 1/2. This is about $21B in potential savings.

2) Treatment and disposal account for 20%. This includes remedial sortation (fixing the problems created by people who misclassified their waste), type-based sortation (things like separating glass from plastic, as well as separating the different types of plastic). A good automated sortation system will save at least 20% of these costs, resulting in another $3B in potential savings.

3) There are unaccounted for missed opportunities. Sortation costs force us to make compromises; instead of the more expensive sorting of thermoplastics from thermosets, which would result in higher resale value, we sometimes chop them all up and sell them as a lower valued aggregate for things like road asphalt. I have no idea how much is missed, but I do know that recycled thermoplastics have a resale value that is a good 10x higher than what they get out of that chopped aggregate.

4) Additionally, we have massive landfills that have accumulated billions of tons of trash that, due to oxygen starvation in landfills, isn't biodegrading any time soon. If your system can extract valuable recyclable materials from trash and resell them, you could meaningfully create a second-hand mining industry with basically free land rights. I have trouble seeing anywhere less than 10s of billions of dollars in annual market from this alone.

So there you have it. You can make everyone's lives easier, save us time, save us money, save the environment, and you'll have the waste management industry groveling at your feet at the chance to save them $24B a year, possibly much much more. Do it already.

The default apps in Ubuntu under Unity are good as-is. I don't feel the need for any changes.

But after looking at the 17.10 image, it absolutely needs dash to dock. Gnome is unusable to a lot of people without it. Ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly, remember.

Also, improving the look of GDM is a must. It looks fairly ugly by default.
"In short, if you have any QNAP running a version before 4.3.3.0154 20170413 or 4.2.5 20170413 then upgrade it immediately as you risk data loss should you have a drive in your RAID5/6 array fail. No amount of data scrubbing will recover the data if you have a disk failure and have not upgraded to these versions at a minimum."
