And if we removed part of the incentive for them to do that, and they did it less but still more often than we would like, then we would obviously want to solve that problem through a more targeted mechanism than the thing we are currently doing (namely high corporate taxes) which are making the problem worse.
PhD dropout. There was a rotating door of students joining for a year and then quitting, but I stuck it out for 3. By the end I was nocturnal, experienced my first panic attack, broke up with a long relationship, and my file organization went to shit. A few professors were betting behind my back whether I'd quit. We met 7 days a week, and I was expected to have progress everyday. Depression and stress evolved to new levels. Considered ways to relieve stress, like smoking, self harm, therapy, drinking. Tried some. Finally, decided if I didn't quit, I was headed down a very dangerous path. Spent the next 6 months playing video games and recovering, with the help of drinking alone, and trying to date again.

After 6 months, I was more or less better again, but picked up some minor bad habits I still haven't really kicked. Quitting PhD was the best thing I ever did for myself.
My experience is that it's no big deal if everyone else is doing it. On the other hand, it's rare to find a critical mass of men who don't care about being seen naked unless your gym has a bunch of men over 50.
Less ethical?
The PC release of Sonic Mania was delayed because of slowdown issues.

Slowdown issues. On a game that is literally nothing but 90s graphics.
Definitely, and that's a great point. My current job used to be pretty good in that nature, but it's recently gotten worse with the hiring of an authoritarian person at the top and the politically-oriented sycophants coming out of the woodworks to entrench their own power, but I'm doing what I can to keep the work environment democratic like it used to be.
Thanks, that was very helpful. This issue did not occur to me.
You make some good observations and it's true that commuting overheads, US holidays and 9-5 are over the top. Many people here on HN eventually wind up with remote gigs and swear by them. I worked remote for many years too. Right now I am founding my second startup, which being hardware-focused basically requires physical presence. That said, everyone knocks off at 4PM, being foodtech-focused we do lunch together and try to maintain a collaborative environment where people can work on their own stuff but communicate frequently. It helps us all stay on one page and minimizes needless formal project management / messaging / issue-tracking muck. Probably a totally different environment to many startups or larger companies, definitely more creative, and definitely more attractive to people like yourself who reject needless formalism. It's probably largely a response to my own experience. I guess there's always a few companies like ours carrying the torch of (in)sanity: find one, or start one!
This is an Apple restriction, not a Firefox restriction. Focus is a Safari webview, so Mozilla is limited by what features Apple allows them to use.

They might have been able to get by without the 64bit requirement if it just blocked content in the webview, but it also blocks trackers in Safari.
Literally the definition of lithography [1]:

The process of printing a lithograph on a hard,
flat surface; originally the printing surface
was a flat piece of stone that was etched with
acid to form a surface that would selectively
transfer ink to the paper; the stone has now
been replaced, in general, with a metal plate.

Drawing is also a mention.
Retweet was invented by the users (RT:) just as commenting with the link to the original tweet (retweet with comment) was a user custom before Twitter did anything about it. Not sure how you force users not to invent their own ways to use a service.
Xamarin and Mono are not the same thing. Also, Xamarin Studio may work through WINE or something similar, but it doesn't have any native GNU/Linux builds.
If you want immutable data structures with React/React Native learn Redux with Immutable.js, it has a learning curve but will solve some of your problems
Ubuntu LTS on both desktops and servers. Alpine Linux on small servers, e.g. systems with older 32 bit CPUs (I reuse a lot of old computers for various tasks).
Definitely. And that "quick hack by default" person will often end up being the favorite of management because they get so many things "done."

So it's important to figure out what kind of manager you have, and try not to be the slow guy on a team full of quick-hack people. You won't look good and nobody will be happy.

The only thing sockpuppet voting and commenting like this does is get your site and accounts banned.
Replying to you is quite arbitrary. But, at some point, I have to at least raise my point.

I'm a cardiologist. I see patients every day. Anyone below 70, to me, is young. It's important to me that they feel the same way: it's easy to get old if you feel old. There's nothing factual or evidence based here. It's just my view.

I understand that the running joke in the Valley is that you're old if you're out of your 20s. But, in my reality, 50s is extremely young.
I wish I had the actual code since it was pretty fun to write and break the compiler but it was too long ago. I am still gonna see if I can figure it out again.

I think I was pretty clear that it was all just my opinion :) If you read the end of the post I said that maybe I'm just worrying over something that's a non-issue, so by all means, steer me in the right direction rather than critiquing the fact that I'm expressing my opinions ;)
This article linked in the thread about how twitter became so angry is also a really interesting read:

When you have to rely on a one-in-a-billion genetic freak to make new records, we are 'close to the limits'. When you have to have teams of scientists and coaches working to improve one individual just a tiny bit, we are 'close to the limits'. It's not like you can pop a pill and run 100m in 5s, blowing away current records.
The culture change would be huge. I'm curious how the rank and file would respond.
> My job became playing pool, but that's a story for another day (and probably boring to this crowd).

You were being paid to do whatever you wanted to do. Doesn't sound boring to me! Would you share that story?
I think this is the fundamentally wrong angle, balkanisation and "decentralisation" don't actually seem to help end consumers and don't seem transparent.

The logical conclusion when scale and centralisation are inevitable is the good old concept of a "public utility", see Bell Labs, electricity networks, and so forth. Doesn't sound as exciting because there's no "ether" or "crypto" in it but it has served most people quite well
Where I live (Kiel) every damn bus stop has that facebook ad.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Maybe worse is overstepping, things under the capitalist government were often fairly rotten as well. Blaming it all on socialism needs more proof than I've seen provided
Lawyer. 8 years in IT/privacy/compliance consulting, mostly startups. Tired of ratrace. Applied to armed forces to become JAG officer. Took all thier apptitude tests. "Want to be a pilot?"... hell yes. Now a 2lt finished basic and waiting for flight school. Of i fail as pilot ill become jag. Never felt more relaxed.

I find this an amazing story, and at the same time cannot help but consider it a real-life version of Office Space.

A part of me lives to meet such people, the type of person who has a completely different history than you think they have.
Yes, because "They're in the philipines... it'd take them longer" is totally the same as "black chocolate" (who says "black" chocolate anyway?)
Why diversity and inclusion are so hard to get right
Pretty sure they will get your IP. If you use any other Mozilla product, chances are they know who you are. And they can correlate it with other telemetry data. Not saying they do, just that they can.
I've been listening to both, and I question the motives of both.

Members of core have contradicted themselves so often when asked why the block size can't be raised that there must be another agenda.

When they claimed a one-line arbitrary constant was impossible to change and then gave conflicting reasons why, they lost credibility. I've only seen this waxy-flexibility of logic when someone can't reveal the real reason behind what they want, or they are purely irrational.

Core have not been good stewards. Even in the unlikely event they were "correct," the mismanagement of the community, censorship, inability to communicate or build consensus has been atrocious.

In terms of original vision, Satoshi pretty clearly described layer 1 scaling.

It would be nice to keep the blk.dat files small as long as we can.

The eventual solution will be to not care how big it gets.

But for now, while it's still small, it's nice to keep it small so new users can get going faster. When I eventually implement client-only mode, that won't matter much anymore.

There's more work to do on transaction fees. In the event of a flood, you would still be able to jump the queue and get your transactions into the next block by paying a 0.01 transaction fee. However, I haven't had time yet to add that option to the UI.

Scale or not, the test network will react in the same ways, but with much less wasted bandwidth and annoyance.
I'd like to also point out that my main issue (that JS itself doesn't have types, so it's impossible for TS to 100% enforce it) still stands even after a year.
The game is more graphically intensive than you might think and the people that care about this kind of game very much value a solid 60 FPS frame rate.

Any insight on why his failures innovating at GE that caused him to resign aren't a red flag for an innovative company like Uber? Just because they're looking for a grown up?
You would be able to sue them, but you'd lose the grant to use any patents that cover React.
very true. I spent a few years deep diving into manual film photography, scanning and digital printing. I learned to study photographs upside down to see the geometries. The process logic, chemistry and relevant metrics opened my eyes and helped me appreciate fine photography.

Algorithms are really great foundation for learning anything. I prefer outcome goals driving new learning experiences.

My latest project is optimizing a homemade $10/day food regimen optimized for 1) gut immune health, 2) inflammation and 3) common North American seasonal allergies. I call it OSL - Open Source Longevity for retirees. I recently learned Wholefoods gives away premium fish heads for free around 10AM. I have never eaten better cost accounting for homemade tahini, yogurt and peanut butter.

Not taking away from your comment because what you describe could have happened but the DAO hard-fork didn't alter history.
“Not getting sick and dying from pollution is worth quite a bit, it turns out”
Because they are in a dominant market position. Honestly, it's your fault for buying a console - you knew you'd be at sony's mercy due to the monopolistic nature of consoles. The cost of switching to the one comparible console option is so great, most people will not bother unless sony's issues become too great - and network speed is presumably not a deal-breaker for enough people for sony to care.

So you will continue to suffer abominable download speeds on your PS4, because the cost of switching is too great for most. Basically, suck it up.

I hate to get all PCMR on you, but this is why everyone should game on PC. If my steam purchase downloaded super slow, I could simply get a refund on steam (an automated process) and purchase the same game on GOG, or on Humble Store. Sometimes Origin or Uplay. PC means freedom, or not being at the mercy of a single uncaring corporate entity.
dude lost me after pointing about IDE. Wtf, this is not an advantage. This sounds like a "microsoft" arguments. You want to compare productivity? Have you seen how many ready-to-use components there are in RN community? This is the real productivy advantage, not an IDE.

But I aggree with all the problems of javascript, they were my excuses to not learn javascript, and here I am, writting RN apps. Things happens in RN world man, you gotta move to the winning side and leave your pride. Get over it.
I found my 17yo backup but can't find the PSU. Please help me find one
There is a standard way to embed any file into an ELF. The program "objcopy" creates object files from arbitrary input files. You then simply link the objects into your executable. The program can then access those arbitrary embedded data chunks by their symbol names, just as if they were literal strings in the source code.

I explain how to do this in the context of embedding a version file here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16349557/does-gcc-have-a...
Really? On my galaxy note 4, Google Play pages open within ~400ms consistently.
Insider trading laws were written for small fish. Large players are protected because, apparently, the trading they do is "public". So, the thinking goes, it is just fine if they use inside information for their deals. A guy who uses inside information in every deal is, of course, Warren Buffet. But since he is big and a long term investor, they see no problem.
I am 51. The last few years I studied Pali Suttas, Stoic writings and Christian Church Fathers. That leads all the way up to Frege, Wittgenstein and NAND Gates. The overlaps were astounding. It filled in just tons of historical explanatory blanks in my view of the world.
AA not collecting statistics doesn't prevent other people from conducting studies of recovery in addicts that include people in AA.
This is much like the Great Value brand ice cream sandwiches that did not melt for hours when left in the sun. The more cream in an ice cream product the faster it melts.

In some cases slow melting may not be a good thing.

You get ADSL backed by FTTC? Not even VDSL? Who thought that was a good idea?
Windows interrupt priorities are called IRQLs, see https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/doronh/2010/02/02/what-is-i... for a discussion.

Mostly PnP decides the levels, unless you have multiple IRQs and you need to specify the priority.
I wonder how much centralization is due to consumer ISP and computing limitations. What structure would communication channels take in a world of phones with terabytes of local storage, days of battery life under heavy use, and reliable unlimited high-speed internet?

Non-corporate software alternatives are getting there, but the next bottle-neck is operation. A simple static personal website still involves hosting "in the cloud" or setting up personal hardware, and operations. Mass adoption requires a 1-click 0-maintenance app.
Go for it, as long as the app will always be simple and you don't have a high bar for the UX. Both Angular and React work well with Cordova and it's a great way to leverage existing web dev talent.

Make sure that the Cordova APIs/plugins cover everything you need, because writing custom plugins can be a major pain.

You won't have a lot of performance headroom, especially on Android where some unsolved V8 bugs and inconsistent GPU support on older devices will hold you back. If things start to feel slow and it's a problem for the customer you may need to look elsewhere.
Redux's core minimum is already pretty incredibly minimal; I have a hard time imagining things much more simple than that.

react-redux, which is neither redux nor the only way to integrate redux with react, is a bit more complicated but still not very complicated.
Having a bicycle and a personal 'burner' phone works for me.

I do have some super-posh Pixel XL kindly provided by work but that does not fit in my pocket too well when cycling. Hence I still rock the 'burner' phone that does private chat, emails, txt and calls. There are maps and interwebs on there too, it is all I need when I am not at a computer.

I don't have a 'thousand Facebook friends' as I am not on Facebook. However, on my ride to work I will see plenty of faces I know walking their dogs, jogging or cycling like myself. I get real-world 'likes' and the 'thread' of conversation is in memory only, not scrawled out in txt-spk.

Having the 'big phone' in my bag means I can take decent photos if I want to, I can ssh in to servers and try those new exciting apps with it too. I don't have 'FOMO' issues because I have the latest-and-greatest phone there if I want it.

The other benefit of my 'burner' phone is that it has a big battery that charges quickly, it takes SD cards and, due to light usage, the battery lasts a long time between those charges.

I am always there for people on my 'burner' phone so I have not disconnected from my phone whatsoever. The only 'app' apart from Whatsapp! and a compass app that I have installed is an app that tells me how often I checked my phone over the last 24 hours. Normally I am around 10 'checks of phone' a day, I believe most people are at the 65 level.

My colleagues that commute in via tin-box means, be it train, bus or car, well, they may be getting the 'Facebook likes' to light up their dopamine receptors but this is fake, much like how class 'A' drugs work. I enjoy knowing real-world people in the real community, with no adverts to see on my cycle commute. I also think it is a two-way thing, those half-dozen people I exchange smiles and friendly words with probably also enjoy being out and about for the same reasons.

Now what if I decide to sell the bicycle and endure normal transport instead, stalking people on social media instead of interacting in the real world? What if everyone did that? Would we have any community at all? If this happens, who will say hello to the old folks that don't have computer skills? What human interactions will they have?

I think that we really should be starting to call social media what it really is. Let's start calling it 'anti-social media' because that is what is really going on with this phone obsession people have and the apps that lure them in to scroll their life away.
So eventually it will be usable.
That's awesome! I grew up with boats, and have been around them my whole life (boaters ed was taught along with drivers ed in HS in my town). Keep practicing with the trailer, you'll get it. Just take your time :)

One thing with smaller boats and their trailers is that they can be harder to back up. Larger boat trailers have longer tongues so you can back up with more angle before the trailer starts to lift up. For example, on my current boat I can back the trailer up to a near 90 degrees to the truck.
Uber is an international brand for taxis. I'm not even sure why they are considered a tech company.
>at which point common decency might suggest you should apologize. Perhaps you are unaware that surfing right of way is first about safety?

I guess that depends. If people are trivializing safety by using it as a token in a game of brinksmanship, I will not apologize. I'm happy to wait my turn, all I want is equal and fair treatment. If I find that other people are trying to place me at the bottom of a "pecking order" at a public beach, then I'm not going to play along. If you let people bully you that way once, they'll do it forever.

I'll wait until everyone else has gone at least once, I'll clearly signal that I'm going to take the wave, and then I'll take it. Try to intimidate me off by committing on the same wave to muscle me out, and you'll find me totally willing to call your bluff. We'll both go in the drink, if necessary. Try it a second time and you'll find I'm willing to do that _every_ time. At that point, the ball is in your court to drop the elitism and start sharing like an adult, or roll the dice enough times that one of us gets seriously hurt. I won't be intimidated by this cliquey highschool shit. It's a shared beach and we all pay our taxes, everyone has a right to equal use.

That having been said, this is all hypothetical, because I don't surf and hate beaches. Fucking jellyfish man.
How do these supremely moral people expect content to be paid for?
Here's a video of the same process (but using vinegar for the acid instead of soda) that doesn't cost $8: https://youtu.be/tXaimUkCVU0
When I read stories like this I'm bothered by the fact that the author didn't go to their credit card company and chargeback the unwanted purpose. Your credit card is a powerful tool to mitigate retailers not giving you what you expect, using it motivates bad actors quite well. Chargebacks are expensive and too many chargebacks leads to unfavorable terms with the credit card companies which are inescapable to the retailers. (just like PlayStation has a captive market, so does Visa)
The halting problem in essence states that no algorithm can exists which determines whether or not a given algorithm will terminate given some input.

Ethereum makes the assumption that given a user-defined algorithm and a user-defined input, that within the limitations of the EVM whether or not the algorithm will halt can be determined. We know that that this can not be the case due to the halting problem. It may always be possible for there to be an implementation specific EVM-escape which could result in a catastrophic failure and loss of Ethereum for the end user.
Sadly, I do not surf as much anymore because I can no longer have my life revolve around tides and weather.
I left PC gaming behind years ago.

I like to sit on the couch and I want my gaming device to be a black box that does its job and is dedicated to couch based entertainment (I use it for TV too).

PC gaming requires a...... PC... usually sitting at a desk, much more powerful than I need, lots of configuration etc etc to hard.... I'm a couch gamer in the evening after the programming is done.

I don't care much about the PlayStation download thing. I generally prefer to buy my games on DVD anyway.

Sony should care however.... despite not wanting to spend money on digital downloads I find I spend ever more with Apple App Store because despite my hesitations they make it easy and it works, whereas I don't want to buy digital with Sony and they make it easy not to do that.

>>>PC means freedom, or not being at the mercy of a single uncaring corporate entity

I just don't care about that stuff any more.. life's too short to worry about who our corporate overlords are.
DUDE. Me too.

Looking at the latest wealth distribution data, the wage slavery thing is getting out of hand and we have a growing population without the infrastructure necessary for it. Yet we have the resources to tackle the problem if appropriate attention were given to it.

I'd absolutely love to find a way to break into community organization while also feeding myself, because I see a lot of work that must happen but it's not compensated work at the moment. Lots of urgent needs don't have "market demand" right now because those needs don't have dollars behind them. (And the dollars are increasingly flowing away from needs of the masses and into the wants of the 0.1% as I'm sure you know)
