Yeah, but they're always just threats, that's kind of the point for him. Its always for the audience at home.

Prevailing wisdom seems to be that Kim treats nuclear weapons as an important deterrent from invasion, not a first-strike weapon. The US doesn't have much appetite for invasions atm, so the chances the missiles will ever be fired is pretty remote even if he does have them.
This is the main feature of atom I miss after switching to vscode. The atom search is really nice.

Good suggestion, should probably address this in the readme.

Short answer: observables do too much, and Rx is WAY, WAAAAY too large. We need simple async primitives before layering bigger abstractions on them. They shouldn't take encyclopedic amount of reading to learn. They need to come in a library that doesn't weigh over 100 KB.
The US should act in the best interest of the people of the world as a whole. As should every other nation.

We have the most resources at our disposal, and as such it's often up to us to take the lead.

A nuclear armed NK is very, very bad for South Korea, Japan, and anyone else in range. They're a threat to their neighbors and likely soon a threat to the entire world.

These are the facts. It's not a matter of the United States saying that someone should or shouldn't have nuclear weapons. It's a matter of us living up to our responsibilities; it's a matter of us doing our part to ensure a prosperous future for the whole world.
I count 34 sources and 3 graphs that were completely omitted by journalists and conveniently tuned out by all the know-it-alls who said he cited zero sources and were therefor more qualified to assert their reasoning on this subject than a Harvard trained Systems Bioligist.

Omission by convenience has become the language of the media and those too weak and unprepared to argue their viewpoints against centuries of scientific consensus.
Well, before .net core, Mono never had support for the most important frameworks that were commonly used in .NET world. Namely no support for WPF, EntityFramework, WebAPI, WCF (partial support came later on). This was a dealbreaker for most windows devs. If you accepted this and went for open source alternatives and/or mono's own frameworks (NHibernate, Gtk#, ServiceStack etc.), mono was pretty solid.
And yet, still it doesn't feel as responsive as PyCharm or IntelliJ -- despite the smaller footprint.
BlueField – 200 Gb/s of throughput, 10M IOPS in a single SoC device
mono has been around but was very buggy outside of Xamarin based apps. .net core is a first class .net implementation using lots of the same code code from .net framework and works much better in high stress server workloads.
First comment (currently), comparing to VSCode and saying how much better VSCode is: faster, smaller footprint, just wonderful. Someone was asking what's wrong with having a discussion about Atom vs. VSCode, but what's wrong about having a discussion about Atom and the topic of the post without hijacking the conversation into the same old "VSCode is better than Atom" nonsense?

This is getting like Windows vs. Mac. Doesn't make any sense.

Let VSCode be more optimized or technologically advanced than Atom like macOS might be compared to Windows, but without making that the reason why people should immediately switch to it.

You know, macOS and VSCode might be better, but there are people who are perfectly fine and more productive on Windows or Atom.
I agree with the author wholeheartedly. I see the solution that contexts solve, but it seems like a hacky bolt on that made an otherwise beautiful language cumbersome.

A solution? Well, I'd had a few passing thoughts but never really vetted them much or thought of implementation, just throwing things at the wall. I'll share anyways.

A) A supervisor type system. the 'go' command would return some id, eg

x := go runthis()

where x is the id. This could then be used to identify, kill, etc things at a supervisor level.

B) Maybe more esoteric, but treating go routines as implicit channels. There's a few ways this could go, but it would be similar to the above, except the return would be an channel. This could allow passing signals to the goroutine, and also, retrieving values from the goroutine. Eg

x := go run()
y := <-x // y is the return value of x
or
x := go run()
x <- 1 // terminates the x goroutine
Any part of the manifesto. And the blog post addresses 2 out of 3 parts of it.

I'm no American jingoist, but blaming everything on America is also ridiculous. There are other actors in the world with their own motives. America as boogeyman is not much better than right-winger who believe the 'deep state' is trying to bring Trump down. Much of the time it's projection and distraction to not have to face up to your own shortcomings.

I'm all for accurate analysis and the US has been a huge contributor to many problems around the world, but acting as if everything that happens in the world is just response to moves by America is an irrational position to take.
A friend of mine that does invest in to BTC and ETH said he "wouldn't bother with LTC" but I didn't ask why and haven't looked in to it, I'll do some reading up on it tomorrow.

doesn't HN detect dupes?
Yes! I think we're kicking off 2018 intern hiring in the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the website :)
What are you moving to as an alternative?
Yes, it's disappointing when science is warped by political agenda. But I suppose it's not surprising, since science's success has made it authoritative.
Also - let the developers choose the work. We have a big todo list on the wall, and when a developer needs work, they can choose from the list.

If a developer comes to me with a new idea, and it sounds viable, then I give them a bonus based on how well it executes. Everyone is incentivised and motivated to come up with new exciting projects.

Smart developers want to create, so set them free! Autonomy, mastery, purpose = productive and happy
There was a crowdfunding campaign, but it failed.
This new product however can be directly preordered (and for much lower price: the board costs little more than half of what Talos 1 would have and the CPUs they are offering right now cost about a quarter of the cheapest option back then)
> Attackers can spin up machines right next to those that they are attacking and bypass much of the network related variables.

Can they? Do cloud providers typically short circuit routes within their public address space? At least in AWS, this is not the case unless e.g. vpc peering is used.

On second thought, even if the attacker egresses via their internet gateway, the next hop will be pretty close to their victim.
Might be a stretch to say that it changed everything but my wife getting a Fitbit that displayed calls and texts reduced my frustration levels somewhat. My wife tends to keep her phone in the bottom of her bag and would often miss calls. Hardly ever happens now.

There is an irony here though. I have known my wife for nearly 30 years and for much of the earlier years we lived 100s to 1000s of miles apart. Any form of phone contact needed pre-planning. Textual contact required a stamp. Pretty much frustration free (well from a communication pov anyway).

So Fitbit was technology solving a problem that technology caused in the first place.
I think you're ignoring the larger "currency" and focusing on "fiat currency".

When people traded in gold (or Native Americans traded wampum, etc) it was certainly never destroyed! And there was no one in particular who would necessarily trade it for something specific, so it was not an IOU.

The book sounds great, and I loved his other book The Democracy Project. I will have to check it out.

But just because debt came first, and fiat currencies have always been based on debt, does not mean that all currencies have to be or have been.
Yes, but then an entire class of “developers” can’t “hack” on it because they have to learn C++, and that’s hard, apparently.
This is super cool without a doubt, but they could use an actual laser - not photographs to do it:

Yeah I have nothing against algebra or math, I like math, and I know some algebra, but he was constantly using mathematical notation instead of algorithms. It was not accessible.

I got into many arguments about how computer science is math and so on, but machine learning is a set of techniques, there is no need for it to use math when it's not really needed.

So I gave up. I did not even manage to properly understand his explanation of linear regression, as I would have liked to implement my own. When I look online it's a myriad of equations, and no pseudo code.

I love mathematics, but when I'm programming I really prefer to use data, and not math.
OP isn't wrong. That we haven't proven the existence of Hawking Radiation is the only reason why Hawking hasn't won a Nobel.

Except this only works with subsequent encounters with the same trickster. Those across your side of the political aisle are not a monolith, yet you assume they are all just a few shades off from Milo. If that's your impression, you should diversify your reading selections. Try John McWhorter, for example.
Crimea is way more complicated case than "green muzhiks". You could start with Khrushchev and 1954. Or at least the 1992 referendum, which was ignored.

And that Boeing? Really? The evidence for this claim is even worse than for Saddam's WMDs. You didn't even ask yourself cui bono?
We cannot, as an example, currently predict the zeroes of the Riemann zeta function.
Then you might give Sublime Text a try.

I get annoyed about having to switch to GitHub, for instance.

It's fine to have opinions, I'm just annoyed by the fact that every time there's a post about Atom the conversation gets hijacked by "VSCode vs. Atom" comments.

That's why I'm bitching.

I shall go update Atom instead.
Maybe, I feel like we are going to try to just wipe their nukes. If we succeed, I doubt the US or China will go nuclear. We would probably seek china's ok before trying that if we haven't already gotten it. If NK keeps escalating their arsenal eventual we won't ask China and just do it.
Hey, glad to see it's about to hit the shelves, I've been waiting for this one since around February. I've just chucked my order in.
Seriously! I have strong opinions about the role of women in our industry and society, as does pretty much everyone.

But ignore the gender/culture argument and replace diversity with "Foo". The stated goal of the organization is to increase Foo, from top to bottom, from HR to engineering. What do you think will happen if you publish a letter saying Foo is overrated? What will happen if you make getting Foo harder for them? What will happen if you semi-publicly argue against increasing Foo?

It is often used as an argument, that USSR invaded Poland (see above) and therefore they were literally Hitler.

Didn't they just recently (past year) sign this deal? I imagine Disney has to pay a fair amount back to end the distribution deal.
I see Australia mentioned in second place. That doesn't marry with my experience, which is seeing card dominate cash due to the early and very widespread uptake of contactless payment without pin or anything under $100. This makes it faster than anything else for coffee, taxis, etc.

To see cash sitting at 65% simply doesn't align with my everyday experience. Maybe it's the legions of baby boomers in the suburbs? I don't know. I would've suggested Australia would've been 1/3 or 1/4 cash payment.
Fair enough. I would like to know what those reasons for not doing business in PR are, because the lenient taxes and low costs of living seem pretty compelling for startups. Especially if you're in tech and can do business overseas.
India have an incredibly consistent society from corner to corner and well organized governments.

That is literally the first time I have ever heard anyone, Indian or not, describe India that way.
IMO, Occam's Razor is only meaningful when there are two competing hypothesis, one of which is markedly simpler than the other. Mentioning it in a context of "surely it can't be this complicated" without pointing towards a simpler alternative doesn't strike me as very useful. I know you're not the person who made the original argument, just chiming in on the discussion.
They'd rather deal with one lawsuit from him than the hundreds from every person who has ever worked with him that isn't a white male.
And even that will take more than 4 hours per week.
They are selling Scale-Out processors here, which IIRC “only” have 4-way SMT (which will, given IBM's track record, still actually give a ~2.5x improvement over no SMT, unlike <1.5x for SMT2 in Intel/AMD)
I'm not sure how Atom fares in this regard but search has been nearly unusable for me in VSCode as of a recent update (even for moderately sized projects). Searches take longer than they should to complete and cause CPU usage to jump to over 50%. ag / The Silver Searcher completes the same searches in microsecond time.
OK, I take is that you don't have any counterargument, but you refuse it based on ideology.

If anyone has the money to pull out, Disney has the money.
It's a wild story.

The craziest part was that the players who intentionally spread the plague would retreat to other regions and log out in an attempt to incubate the disease across victim die-off and mod actions, then return to cities to reinfect people. That's what got epidemiologists hooked, because disease control in the face of enemy action is (fortunately) short on real-world data.

The question of how the plague could be resolved without server-level actions (which are obviously unavailable in the real world) is awfully interesting.

Abstract:
>The evaluation of the suitability and quality of cryptographic mechanisms is tasked to the
Federal Office for Information Security (BSI – Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der
Informationstechnik) in Germany. The BSI therefore initiated this study about the generation
and collection of entropy in virtual machines and virtual environments. Virtual machines are
increasingly used especially in Cloud-based solutions, covering sensitive areas in enterprises
as well as in government. Good random numbers require one or more noise sources supplying
entropy which implies that these noise sources are a vital requirement for the security of
electronically processed data.

>Operating systems use various noise sources which may exhibit properties and behaviors
which may deviate significantly when used on a bare metal system or within a virtualized
environment. This study analyzes the impact of virtual environments on the presence of
entropy for noise sources. The goal of this study is to identify measures for using noise
sources in virtual environments in such a way that they collect sufficient entropy.
Besides conducting an analysis of the general impact of virtual environments on noise
sources, this study discusses the Linux random number generator of /dev/random and
/dev/urandom which includes several noise sources. Also, this study evaluates possibilities of
receiving entropy from the virtual machine monitor (VMM) as well as noise sources which
collect entropy independently from a virtual environment. Again, the goal is to obtain
sufficient entropy in virtual environments. The quality of the Linux random number generator
is assessed when executing it in the VMMs of KVM, VirtualBox, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMWare
ESXi.

>As a summary, the major finding of this study is that all assessed VMMs depending on their
configuration, allow Linux to obtain sufficient entropy. The different noise sources of the Linux
random number generator, however, operate with varying quality which implies that
depending on the use case issues may arise. For example, the quality of the generated
random numbers after system boot is questionable. With the provided questionnaire, users
are able to analyze whether they are affected by such issues and to what extent.
Software-based noise sources which require hardware support for obtaining entropy are most
likely to be adversely affected by a VMM operation. Such noise sources should therefore be
assessed in detail for its applicability to a virtualized environment. Hardware noise sources
are commonly unaffected by a VMM. With an appropriate support mechanism, a VMM may
even deliver entropy to guest systems.

>The provided analysis starts with the assessment of the architecture of various noise sources.
This is followed by a study of the impact of virtualization on the obtained Entropy and applies
the findings to the Linux random number generator.
Right, the "original" code is also super shady! I like (but don't believe) the story where the later backdoor was actually USG, but done to break some other country's NOBUS backdoor.

sorry missed that.
What matters is how the jitter is distributed. If it resolves to a small number of cases (spikes in the p.d.f.), then that means trouble. Also, attackers may work from the same datacenter, meaning that the jitter could be much smaller.
I hope they win, open offices are the stupidest thing since cubicles.
To be honest (at least in my experience) if you are really worth $X as a developer, you can generally get your current employer to give you $X if you are proactive about it.

Quitting generally has more to do with:

A) "You (the employer) Waited Until The Exit Interview To Ask What’s Wrong"

B) "You (the employee) Waited Until The Exit Interview To Convey What's Wrong"

Leaving my last job, I told them what I wanted 1-2 years before I actually left (for more money, but that wasn't the primary cause). The CEO basically told me in the exit interview if it was about money, he'd give me another 30% to get me to stay (and they had countered with that before, back when I told them what I needed to stay long term).

Money isn't necessarily the cause. Its the lack of willingness to communicate and meet the other person's needs.
People are just incredulous that Microsoft is able to make an Electron app of superior quality than GitHub (who develops and maintains Electron).

It would be like if Honda made a better car utilizing a Mazda engine than Mazda itself.
This is actually a great question - take a look at this discussion from 2015.

This isn't my area of expertise, but my understanding is that elephants have many more copies of TP53, a gene that plays a critical role in regulating the cell cycle (and thus uncontrolled growth that may occur in cancer).

One of the linked papers also states that there was no correlation between body size and cancer in their experiments.

https://www.nature.com/news/how-elephants-avoid-cancer-1.185...
None of these 4 reasons (TD;LR: you waited until the exit interview, you assume mentors want to manage, you assume the natural ascension of developers is management and not higher-level IC roles, you aren't supporting them and their career) are why they quit.

People quit because the modern, zero-loyalty, everyone-for-hire company does not provide a long term strategy for providing intrinsic motivation (autonomy, mastery, purpose); they don't want to pay for retention and therefore don't provide perks for retention.

Until this changes, it should never surprise a manager why churn is high and average tenure is less than 2 years. If you are a manager (especially middle management - meaning you don't have the scope to make massive, company-wide cultural changes), it's best to look at your directs as someone to help them advance for their next job. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but if you lead with transparency on the landscape, you build authenticity and trust with your directs, which will go much further for your relationship while you are working together.

Bitcoin is deflationary...meaniing there's a set limit that can be minted... once that limit is reached...all coins traded will be ones that are already in circulation--meaning there will be presumably higher demand, because of this, some are expecting BTC to go > 25k at some point in the future.

I'm not suggesting Grexit as the alternative, I'm just wondering if you think prior examples of IMF-driven shock therapy are the best model to emulate. There's a cost to every option. That said, I think you're suggesting something a little milder than what other countries have attempted.
This was my thought as well, and what I was referring to re: "so many observations on each username" in the parent.

The reason this seems unlikely to me is mainly rate limits and password lockouts. Plus you're adding a multiple on # of requests for each username you want to try. Say your dictionary has 10,000 usernames (very small IMO). That turns into 10,000,000 requests if you need 1,000 observations on each to control for jitter.

Not impossible to find this in the wild, I suppose, but pretty trivial to prevent at any layer.
Also interesting given the cosiness of Apple's relationship with Disney, and their forthcoming streaming service.
Investing in everything but the people who work there.
The issue is that they can't really do that without going public. And then why bother?
In my experience while a developer will say it's not about the money, if the gap is big enough it is disrespectful to the developer and they will (easily) find employment elsewhere.

Often time's it's not actually about the money. But the low pay (relatively) is a signal to the developer of how much / little you value them.

Nature's insulation is fat and fur/feathers but there is a limit to how much that can help. It adds weight and bulk - hummingbirds have to hover their own weight so adding more fat is like making bigger rocket: you need more fuel to lift your fuel.
Can't say I agree. Markdown looks positively beautiful on atom. Out of the box. Plus you can tweak it, without wanting to kill yourself, to show images in markdown too. Even syntax highlighting. And real time rendering. All this means that I use it as my coding logbook, and it works better than anything else out there at that.
Open offices are a direct manifestation of Satan's plan.
That doesn't make them not real, it makes them color shifted to a visible spectrum so we can see them with our very limited human vision which sees only a tiny band of the EM range.
If men are more naturally drawn to leadership positions, but not actually better leaders, diversity efforts make a lot of sense. In such a scenario you would want to actively encourage women to seek status and lead.
