Why can't issues just be mime messages (think email-formatted messages) in a directory for each issue? You could even have an issue file that would contain the status, person actively working, &c and then the thread of discussion as the mime files.
A link from this article led me to a fascinating website with recordings of Plath reading her poems "Tulips"[1] and "A Birthday Present"[2], along with the only recording of Walt Whitman's voice[3] and the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf.[4]

When my phone is full and still on the charger, the whine is intolerable. Three chargers so far have done this. Not sure if it is the same thing. I consider my hearing sub par and I'm in my mid thirties.
Thank you! That was my thought exactly: why did no one do this when all laptops had wireless cards 15 years ago? And I was really motivated to have it be a standalone binary with no installation so that it can be a convenient, portable utility. Please let me know if you give it a try or have any other feedback.

Yes, there are use cases for high performance JS.

We have JS that we use client side that we also use server side for Hadoop processing of data. So we didn't want to rewrite and maintain this large codebase in both Scala/Python and JS, so we ran Node on Hadoop.

No, it really isn't setting yourself up for failure if you do it correctly. Node really is quite fast; for our use case it rivaled Java 8 runtime in MR CPU time, the only downside is it had double the memory footprint. With enough hardware, memory is not too much of an issue.
Same. I'm a huge fan of a team having its own 'alcove' or bullpen as we all are usually tackling a problem together or triaging something.

> Kozmos will add your browser the button, so you can bookmark easily.

Should be something like "Kozmos will add a button to your browser..."

Also, the onboarding seems buggy. I was asked to add the extension twice and then got stuck at a loading screen. Having an import feature is nice, but what format are the files supposed to be in? Just a list of URLs? If so, where do the names of the bookmarks come from?

Edit: I tried importing an HTML export of my bookmarks from Chrome which Kozmos seems to try to support. The import fails though with a 500 from the API and some additional JS errors.

That's how a number of companies in Austin do it.
Also keep in mind that Mozilla is researching better rendering methods through the Quantum project. The potential boost will be huge -- CSS styling and compositing will be faster, JS code that interacts with the DOM will be faster, etc.

I'm very excited about Quantum CSS and Quantum DOM landing.

This sounds less like sonic weapons and more like faulty equipment nearby. US diplomats have been gone from Cuba for decades are now only coming back within the last year.
I recently told a SaaS startup that their password change page was down -- this was communicated via Twitter with an exact error code and everything. After a few hours, they resolved the problem without needing any further details from me. Obviously YMMV, but some issues are appropriate to call out over Twitter.
> And although I can't confirm this myself, the article does say that societies with greater gender equity also have greater gender gaps due to the differences in what each gender values.

I can only provide my own anecdote. I come from third-world country, where women's right is a laughable word. Women are mostly controlled by the males in the family.
Even with almost no women's rights, women presence in my undergrad STEM school was around 20%. OTOH, when I came to Canada for my grad school, I've never seen any class where presence of women in STEM classes was more than 10%. Even then, most of them women are immigrants from China or South Asia.

Snap vs. Instagram: A Tale of Obsession
No apology necessary, I'd love to support Linux but haven't looked into how to configure the ad hoc networking or peer discovery on it yet. I don't think it should be too hard but I likely won't have time to work on it much for the next couple months.
Colour me green with envy. I'm working in one of those fabled "cubical farms" mentioned in the post.

Half of the company has gone full open office, and the laggers (who didn't get redone before the last CEO suddenly quit) seem to not be changing. I could wander elsewhere in the building to work once in a while, but eventually people would start questioning where I am.. and I'd be missing out on my single monitor and ergonomic seating. I work for a modern company with 30 year outdated office structure... At least its feeling that way today. Yep, right there -- there's the envy!
It's still silly to upload all the music I have that they don't when they probably do already store it for someone else. Just checksum my files to ~prove that I have it. I'm sure no one cares enough about it to generate hash collisions for MP3s. Do they really store unique copies of every mp3 for ever user? That seems insanely inefficient, and yet I wouldn't be surprised if their contracts with the music industry stipulated that they couldn't share files between users.
Solve for DP
If an MP3 playlist can exploit a player, why not any other data. A barcode on a banana could hide an exploit, so why not DNA.

Renting vs. Buying Calculator (2014)
Hard to say what the actual numbers are, but from the anecdotal evidence, a percentage of people felt that they had to pretend to be politically correct / leftist liberals. If you multiply any percentage, times the 80 million people in California, that's a lot of mental anguish and repression.

As long as there's food and shelter for most, things will continue as they are. First little bit of suffering, and it will explode into revolution. Normal way of things.
I think as long as it's good or better than GraphIQL, you've got an advantage.

I would not generalize from Watson to the current trends in AI.

I had researched into Watson when it had won Jeopardy, as much as I could publicly find, and concluded at that time itself that it won't stand up to the hype IBM is creating.
Governments can and do issue ID using whatever criteria they see fit. But the lesser the criteria the weaker the proof. I mean, you need a photo at least, right? And presumably some means of proving that photo is you (for passports in UK you have to get a doctor or similar person of authority to sign a declaration). So it's not such a simple matter.
Looking at current offers and infrastructure, expecting everybody to be hooked up to minimum 25/3 line IMO is unrealistic.

> But their pushback is for pragmatic reasons

I saw zero reasons given for the failure to implement in that thread (which I had not seen before), other than a brief mention of stack traces (which is quite solvable with a shadow stack). All I saw were several people (including someone involved with the spec) who were bitterly disappointed about the failure to implement. And I forgot that tail call elimination was introduced back in ES5, and yet only JavaScriptCore has implemented it.

Which again leads me to believe that most implementers believe it's just not worth the trouble to them to implement a key feature for functional programming, regardless of how much the users want it (the feedback in this thread is similar to what i've seen elsewhere).

I suspect that the unit economics of this business aren't profitable at the moment.

It's possible that the pro forma looked nice based on quotes from suppliers. I've tried several of these meal kit companies and they all suffer from basic logistics and quality problems. I suspect it's a hard business with hidden costs and lots of unknown unknowns.

This is why I and others[0] believe Amazon will use its purchase of Whole Foods to change the fundamentals of this business and provide the infrastructure companies like Blue Apron need to do this profitably. Before Amazon fulfillment existed ecommerce was a logistical mother fucker. I worked at a number of startups in the late 90's and early 00's that struggled with this. I think there are a lot of similarities here.

Considering they didn't give samples to any of the linux press... ?
Maybe it wants to "move" everything to your local library and messes it up / puts it into some idiotic inaccessible format like Photos. Then you can "export" them as "raw" which takes hours and will crash / just stop a bit of the way in. I've had bad luck with the photos app with just ~10k photos. I still miss Aperture.
Luna the Husky Trying Her Nylabone Antler Alternative
I manage developers for the publishing arm of a professional association. While I did not have an office when I started as a dev here over a decade ago, all of our developers now have their own offices while we two managers share one. Priorities.

Immediately prior to this, as a junior member of a non-IT/IS-department rapid development group for a utility company, I was relegated to whatever cubicle they could find to stuff me in, usually on the periphery of the call center area. This is also where they'd stick the COBOL guys they'd had to hire back as consultants, along with others who didn't fit into any of the (many) union contract workflows.

(I was a listed as a line-item in the same cost code group as a rented photocopier or scanner, meaning that for most of my tenure there I had ZERO contact with anyone from HR. It was glorious.)

Former IBM Watson data scientist here.

At first I was annoyed by your comment, but then I realized how true it is and sulked instead.

The good consultants are leaving as soon as they hit the end of their first promotion cycle. The duds stick around and assume the upper-level manager roles. The group is in bad shape now and poised to get worse in the coming years.
Is there something like this but for mac?
I think this is actually very accurate as to how humans use the sentence "I like it". If you cook dinner for someone and you ask how it is and they say "I like it" it generally means it's not bad but also not good.

Edit: My suspicion was confirmed when I tried "I like it a lot" had a positive sentiment with 0.711.
Yeah, they say that, and yet they don't want explicit tailcalls either.
Thanks everyone upvoted! It may look like a simple website but I spent a lot of time on this project :) Besides of programming, I shot that little video [1] in homepage, it was my first time to do voice-over :)

I created a invite code for HN, so you can sign up without wait; https://getkozmos.com/signup?code=HNEWS

Here is some brief info for HN users. It's built on Go, Elastic Search and (Pr)eact. The extensions use IndexedDB [2] to create a database [3] that users read/write, and that database gets synced with Kozmos servers. This makes Kozmos' like button work consistently, even when Kozmos is down or user has bad / no connection.

How will Kozmos monetize ? Kozmos will always be free for bookmarking privately. In the next version, I'll introduce public collections which users can use for creating nicely organized bookmark collections, and this feature will be available for only paid users.

For more details, I wrote a blog post; https://medium.com/@azerbike/introducing-kozmos-a-new-bookma...

There is a very big overlap in what good developer and sysadmin should know about Linux. There are a lot of tasks, which in one teams performed by developer and in other — by sysadmin. Random topics which IMHO more specific for sysadmin work:

1. Troubleshooting and performance analysis. There is excellent site about performance: http://www.brendangregg.com/linuxperf.html I don't know a good resource on troubleshooting, but some tools are the same.

2. Problem can be anywhere including network so the next topic is networks. There is excellent book TCP/IP Illustrated — old, but still relevant.

3. Sysadmin often spends a lot of time in a shell so it is good to know it very well (and common shell commands too).
I also recommend and use `urxvt`, but I would also add (and others haven't mentioned this) I use `urxvtd` and `urxvtc`. `urxvtd` is a daemon, and when you run `urxvtc` it spawns another urxvt 'client' off of the daemon. It results in a lot less memory usage and much quicker terminal start-ups. Doesn't matter tons if you already have a beefy system, but it helped tons on my older laptop that I used to use, and I've continued to use the feature since then.

I actually love the idea of Watson being used for healthcare...

Sadly I think it is being used wrong...

IBM is focusing on using Watson to cure very specific diseases, like certain types of cancer.

I think a far better use for Watson would be to do initial diagnosis, for example my life got massively delayed because I got hypothyroidism as teenager, but only using internet data I could self-diagnose and self-treat (because doctors are still unwilling to help, not trusting data, and before someone come berate me for self-treatment, it is working...) as adult I could finally get my life 'started' (hypothyroidism affect physical and mental development, and slows down metabolism and the brain)

During my quest I met many, many, many people on internet, that had self-diagnosed with something using the internet as a tool. All of us would have been diagnosed properly if Watson was being used on the doctors office, using its data crunching capabilities and symptoms as input to find out what problem we had. (in my case: I have Hashimoto's disease)
What if the hit nose is not a transaction? What if an individual swings their arms without care, and your nose merely happens to be in the way? I might get mad at you when I find an obstruction to my swinging. You might equally get mad at me for having hit you. Deciding between these constitutes deciding who has a right in that situation. In the example, you have a right to not be hit. Therefore, I have no right to swing my arms about if it conflicts with that right. However this decision is completely arbitrary; a society could just as easily exist that decides that I have a right to swing my arms about, and you have a responsibility to get out of my way.

I'd happily agree he's a better engineer than me. That doesn't make him smarter, and his engineering acumen certainly doesn't give him any specific ability to do any kind of psychology or neuroscience lit review.

Know how we get up in arms when someone with expertise one field starts going on about some totally unrelated field and makes a lot of leaps of reasoning?

Expertise in one field doesn't make you an expert in everything. Nothing tells me this guy can write authoritatively on this subject matter, or that the memo is well-sourced, just cause he's smarter at writing software than me.
I (31m) can hear high frequencies

- Last night, an ecigarette's capacitor/resistor (from 20 feet off)

- Home Depot has high frequency bird detractors

- A friend has a heart condition and a phone addon to help manage it.

- TVs w/ bad speakers/signals/lighting

- Some fluorescent lights.

The worst part is that it hurts, it's like nails on chalkboard you feel it inside when it happens, almost debilitating, and definitely hurts the balance.
I'm disappointed to see more companies trending towards text messages. Text message should be used only for time-sensitive communication, but some companies (like my network carrier) text me to let me know things like my bill was auto-paid.

I'll be in the middle of coding and my phone goes off, so I stop everything I'm doing to see that my monthly was autopaid. With email, I check it every 2 hours to minimize distractions and I can also use filters to ignore certain routine emails, but companies text messaging me feels like an intrusion into my privacy.

In regard to [1] your hypothesis is probably correct. There exists technology that dims the lights automatically when the volume level of an area is too loud, in order to make people lower their voices.
Commonly known as "Mosquito alarms" they emit high frequencies that adults have lost the ability to hear. I've never read a study that showed they cause permanent hearing loss, especially in adults, but it's unlikely someone would be exposed to them for long (vs the hypothesis here, that the diplomats were continually undergoing exposure).
You can indeed, and I have done so, ever since the things became mandatory many years ago.

It's just my opinion that you shouldn't post anything to Facebook that you want to keep private. Likewise I think he should have figured that anyone in the company could gain access to that board and that what he posted could be circulated.

So why all the downvotes? Aren't the people downvoting me the sames ones that say this guy should be free to express his opinion?

It seems that if someone disagrees on this forum, the response is to shutdown the conversation with downvotes. Are people so afraid of an actual discussion with dissenting opinions that they'll commit the same actions they're criticizing in others?
