It would be better with a layout that flowed only from top to bottom. Reading text mixed with diagrams left-to-right, and then top-to-bottom, is hard, as you point out.

Since Bret has liberated the scientific article from paper, we may as well take advantage of the more flexible layout possible with digital media. Interactive diagrams are so nice for learning that I think it's worth pursuing Victor's idea further. Fred Akalin's blog has a couple great examples! https://www.akalin.com/quintic-unsolvability
Judging from what I've seen of their drivers, yeah, their firmware/microcode is probably an embarrassing bug-ridden code base. But it also represents a lot of investment in low-level/low-layer features that they would prefer to hide from competitors (much more sensitive than the higher-layer logic in the driver proper).
Right. This is a direct consequence of my proposal.
Does Matrix let me see Slack channels for existing projects? If Matrix can replace Slack, I'd consider using it for new projects. But if not, that just means running both apps.

I, and many people I work with, already have Slack running for other projects. Often projects where I didn't get to choose the system.
Yes, any. Just like 2 + 2 equals 5 for large values of 2.

Assuming, of course, that Google doesn't abandon the project for some reason. Or heaven forbid, try to implement messaging.
Speaking from experience, the integration model for Smart Home into Google Home was a really time consuming experience up until recently. Now it compares to Alexa from a level of effort perspective.

Get two yubikeys. Set up LUKS full disk encryption the usual way on Ubuntu. Install yubikey-luks and yubikey-personalization-gui. Set up yubikeys for HMAC challenge response on a free slot. Enroll both keys using yubikey luks. Clear slot 0, leaving you with an encrypted brick unless you have one of two yubikeys. Mail one key to your destination. Leave the other key at home. Travel, pickup key, use it to access device at destination. Before you return home, unenroll the key. Once you arrive home, use the home key to re-enroll the travel key. Repeat as necessary.
This is a rather sweeping statement that is in denial of experiences others have had and reflects a lack of empathy than any insight into the tech industry.

Why are you so concerned about 'skewed perceptions' than the suffering of others? Surely the latter corrected will automatically address the former without any intervention.

This kind of 'since its good for me its good for everyone' thinking is self absorbed and often premature. One negative experience could send the author careening to the other end.
1) I think he wanted to see how barebones he could go. He knew if he went higher he'd be fine, but there's no challenge in that.

2) I think he was willing to do so because he knew not everyone has money to burn.

3) At the price point he settled on he could treat a loss as a burner. And $200 and you might not be as forgiving about a loss.

My old apartment had a system with keys. If you got a package they would lock it in the package mailbox and leave the key in your personal mailbox.

I think that is what above comment is referring to. It is nice having a notification, so don't believe its over engineering.

I have contracted with numerous companies with old engineers. Insurance, Embedded Appliances and Defense had a reasonable distribution ages.
I looked at some guides for ideas and was hoping to find a ready to go solution but nothing seemed perfect for our use case. Good quality photos for keepsakes was a primary goal so I used this as an excuse to buy a DSLR (which still ended up being cheaper than renting a photobooth for a few hours would have been). I chose to code it up in Python since it seemed like the best candidate with plenty of libraries that could handle what I wanted. I chose a camera based on what devices were supported in gphoto2. Specifically, I chose a camera that supported live preview which allowed our guests to frame their photo better. I answered the question about connecting the camera in another comment but the tl;dr is that it was connected via USB and all communications were through the python app I wrote using the gphoto2 library.
The billionaire himself would rarely have a significant pile of cash lying around. Someone somewhere decided to value AMZN at $1,046.00.

They could've done something for the country. They could've put $1,046.00 into science. Cut a $1,046.00 check to a social welfare system. Yet they chose to exchange $1,046.00 for a single share of Amazon.com.
Slashdot would be pretty high on that list for me, but I still find there is a class of editor-selected article that slashdot pulls up that sites like HN miss. HN publishes faster, but in a more clique-based way. Slashdot publishes slower but sometimes catching useful things the clique missed.

I've never really heard anything to suggest fruit is a risk. The fiber slows absorption in the gut, so you don't get the blood sugar spike, and it seems like many issues tied to added sugar consumption trace to the blood sugar spike & insulin response.
Perhaps. But which project is more likely to survive into the future: Bitcoin, or Ethereum? I think having a good king steers a project well enough to future-proof it in most cases, if for no other reason than that it's engineered better along the way.

I guess you are talking processed, adultered meat. If you have normal organic meat there is no problem at all. Likely we have been eating meat from the beginning of our existance. The problem is that the anti meat lobby like peta or sugar-bread industry want us to buy more of their products.
Keto is a really good healthy diet its just that requires that you educate yourself and also is really hard to mantain because we are really very addicted to bread, flour and sugar.
I have done contracts at ad agencies, banks and insurances and from my experience these are much, much worse. Tech companies are super friendly places in comparison.
> It will fairly often mishear light names (like my bedroom light, it confuses my name with "Theatre"), the integration will fail to contact a light (and instead of retrying the echo just says "I couldn't contact light X". It doesn't understand the room it's in (so I'm constantly having to name lights, rather than just tell it to turn on the light, or dim it).

We tell our customers to put their alexa devices into groups in the alexa app. It tends to help your situation quite a bit. For instance for our Lyric thermostats the default name assigned is "Lyric". So you can imagine the things that happen when telling your Alexa to "Make Lyric Warmer". Haha.

That being said, the challenge for them is "Making a light a light, and making a thermostat a thermostat" and knowing every time when someone says "turn on X" they're talking about that thing.

I've noticed my Google Home does a better job at being 'fuzzy' in that regard.
You already interrupted them. Whether they have a minute depends on what you want.
Well, that's what happens to me 6/10 times. I have six Packstations within five driving minutes around me, yet as soon as the one I've addressed my package to was full on delivery, DHL insists on returning it to a parcel hub in an industrial area way out in the wilderness. Which closes 18:00 on weekdays, and on 13:00 on Saturdays.

And don't get me started on their new "Wunschpaket" service for redirecting deliveries in transit...
Is it hard to believe that no industry is very meritocratic at all?
People always act like being able to extradite and prosecute for a crime with a connection to your country is some sort of completely unprecedented, made-up-on-the-spot assertion of ownership of the entire world.

But it isn't. If the guy were in the US and had done something illegal and involved Greek citizens or a Greek company, the US would almost certainly extradite to Greece to let them prosecute him. Extradition treaties, and jurisdiction over crimes that involve a country's citizens or other entities of that country's laws (such as corporations it's chartered) are incredibly normal bog-standard boring well-established concepts in law. Nobody should be surprised that this guy is getting extradited.

So: can Thailand extradite you if you happen to say something about the king? Nope. And that's not even close as an analogy. What if you printed a bunch of insulting leaflets and mailed them to your colleagues in Thailand to distribute, and also wired money into a Thai bank to support the campaign, and also hacked some Thai-hosted websites to put up disparaging messages, though? Would you be willing to admit that at least some of that creates a crime under Thai law that you committed, and that elements of what you did took place at least partly in Thailand, thus giving them jurisdiction and a reason to extradite (though extradition often requires both countries to view the act as illegal under their own laws, so the extradition is unlikely to succeed)? I'd hope you would.

But this is HN, where we clutch our pearls and gasp any time the real world teaches us that "But I did it on the internet! There can't be jurisdiction for the internet!" isn't an argument accepted by courts of just about any country.
I'll try and get the process written down but in the meantime, feel free to shoot me an email with any questions. You can find my email in my profile.
It's rampant in almost every industry. Tech is just talking about it more.
The other hugely important side of this is that a lot of these devices have the ability to transmit on frequencies which they may not be licensed for, or may not be licensed for in all markets.

The easiest example being b/g channel 13. You're permitted to use it for WiFi in most of the world, but not North America. Keeping the firmware proprietary and "secure" is likely an important part of their FCC/IC certifications.

Same deal at my current apartment. This fills up super quick then they just leave packages the packages on the ground outside.
Getting a job is mostly meritocratic.

1. Many companies have a low interview bar. Anyone with a CS BS degree can get an interview at at least a few good companies. If not, you can spend time creating interesting Github projects to boost your chances.

2. Your performance in the interview usually depends on the amount of time you spend studying algorithms.

3. Most knowledge and skills in the industry can be found one click away. General software engineering jobs are self-learnable as long as you have an internet service and a web browsing device.
Isn't there a startup out there that will pick up your packages for you when you're out? Or will allow your neighbour to pick them up?
I wish my office's building was able to support one of these. Our neighborhood USPS will often swing by after the office doors lock. They will say things like "unable to deliver" but never deliver during office hours. When you buy from Amazon, you never know if UPS (never a problem) or USPS is going to be the deliverer. It makes Prime shipping nearly worthless for many of us.

But we don't own this building, and at least right now I can't imagine where one of these things might go.
Readers may find the Master and Margarita website[1] to be very thorough in providing the background information, plot and character summaries, and other supplementary materials. It is the best resource I know on the subject

There is also an active Bulgakov facebook page [2] with things like fan art and informations about upcoming adaptations.

As a matter of disclosure, I created the facebook page in 2008, but it has been run for many years now by Jan Vanhellemont, the man who is also responsible for [1]. I consider him to be the foremost fan of Master and Margarita on the English language internet.

Early studies (2012) found that high school students had CTE [1]. When the issue broke nationally a few years ago, early indicators were that high school students were at higher risk than older athletes [2]. There have been some doctors that claim to be able to diagnose living people with CTE [3]. However, concussions are difficult to diagnose [4] and may go unreported. Sadly, one common side effect of concussions is suicidal thoughts [5]. Which is one of the main reasons people are asking if football is worth the risk [6].

So I should be saying "Macbooks Pro", "Surfaces RT", or "iPads Pro". If I have a Toyota Corolla S and then bought another, it should be "I have two Toyota Corollas S". Would I also have multiple "Telsa Models S"?

Or you can end the ridiculous destruction of the English language and realize that "Nano" isn't really an adjective in this case, but rather "iPod Nano" is the entire noun and is pluralized as such. "Red iPods" has a noun and an adjective and the noun is pluralized. If you dropped the word "iPod" from the statement you'd still have a valid sentence "I have two Nano..." what? "Two Nanos", or "Two Nano", since Nano is an adjective and can't be pluralized?

You asked "is that really how we have to say it?" and the answer is no. That is decidedly not how you have to say it. It may be how you choose to say it, but you don't have to, and most people would find it very odd phrasing indeed. If you ask Apple, brand names cannot be pluralized, so their recommendation is "iPod Nano mobile digital devices": https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/...

I do want to point out that no matter what Burger King says, The Onion has an article specifically mocking that line of thinking: http://www.theonion.com/article/william-safire-orders-two-wh...
Nano is part of a brand name, not an adjective: https://www.apple.com/legal/intellectual-property/trademark/...
Ah OK, I see that point now. But Android's fragmentation isn't due to the users being unwilling to update, to keeps their apps working. It's because it used to cost a lot to OEMs and carriers to port their drivers etc to the new versions.

I didn't say that we should ignore sexism, I said that we shouldn't cry "sexual harassment" when we mean sexism because they are different things.

Edit: Ah, now I see, I think we read the story a bit differently. I read the following part as being said to everyone and not just her, if he had singled her out then it would be sexual harassment but to me this looks like it is directed at the entire group:

> When this director arrived, we were all seating around a large table, on 2 benches. The first thing he said was

To be fair, articles that cover this topic are almost always clickbait.
One extension I'd like to see to this simulation is the exploration of group/tribe dynamics, as a way of exploring questions regarding in-group loyalty (anthropomorphized in as "ethnocentrism" or something analogous) vs egalitarianism. It seems like much of the success of these agents can depend on whether Agent A can determine what sort of actor Agent B is -- communication that can be conveyed beyond just the framework of actual transactions between A and B.

Are there any existing generic frameworks out there for testing out a wider range of agent/group-based game theory scenarios?

No, it would be open source. There's the source code. It's open; anyone can go look at it. Whether or not you can modify it without violating a license has nothing to do with whether or not you can read it.

I still can't find a specific way to complain about the delivery.

DHL has been operating Packstationen in Germany since 2001: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packstation

>There are 3,000 Packstation machines in Germany[1] and 90 percent of the people living in Germany were within ten minutes of a DHL Packstation.[2]

There are also Paketboxen, which are smaller installations for residential areas. The whole system works pretty well for me. The one big downside is, that it only works with DHL/Deutsche Post parcel. They are the dominant player here, but sometimes delivery by them is not available.
> "Micro aggressions", rape, lives being "destroyed", "emoji-induced tears", and violence undermine the point of the article. Tragically comedic hyperbole.

They aren't hyperbole. Women don't have balls and it's an open question if they ever will. I actually can believe that she really cried, which takes this to a whole new level of crazy. The problem is that feminists see responses like that, figure out that men obviously must be disbelieving them in order to protect patriarchy and they grow even more scared to stand up for themselves and cry wolf even more. So you get the opposite of what you want.
Ask HN: What technical decisions make VS Code a better Electron app?
I was inspired by the recent article on how Slack (which is built with Electron) is a RAM hog, but I've always wondered how things were done differently when compared to Atom too.
His music arrangement for the Social Network is an absolute favorite body of work.
It can be true, but still harmful.

That assessment leaves out the time and resources necessary to sustain yourself while you build knowledge and an open source portfolio.

Additionally, networking plays a huge role in who hears about a job opportunity, who gets interviewed and who gets hired.
The first point: fair enough. I'd still see that as a shortcoming of the medium and something to be solved (rather than "just the way it is"), but that's reasonable.

The second: I was talking about reading papers from my own field. That I don't understand a Biology paper (which indeed I don't -- I've tried) is perfectly understandable, but infosec papers shouldn't (and don't) contain any unknown lingo to me. It's just a very convoluted way of writing.

Agreed. When they say something like 90% of all new businesses fail, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start a new business, it just means a lot of stupid ill prepared people start businesses and fail. Which has absolutely no bearing on YOUR chances of success.
Lol... I'm talking about a furnished one. A relative of mine had an furnished unit they rented out and I remember this was an issue. They paid a pretty expensive cleaner as far as cleaners go, but thought it was worth it.
I really hate this argument. On one hand Keto advocates cry about the grain and sugar lobby, on the other they don't even consider the massive outreach the livestock lobby has and their interest in pushing this diet.

Even organic meat and animal products don't come without health risks and it comes at substantial cost to our environment.
