I recently accepted a 10K/year lower salary ($70K instead of $80K).

Better work/life balance inc. flexible hours, generous paid vacation/sick, closed for Christmas & federal holidays (on top of paid vacation), and unlimited (but optional) telecommuting.

The $80K would have cut my flexible vacation by a third, no closure at Christmas, flexible hours gone, and telecommuting pretty much gone (with a "maybe" they'll start in the future). Plus the commute was fifteen minutes more each way.

I may have made the wrong decision financially, but I have a family, and I get to see them a lot more telecommuting, we get to go on family holidays, we get to spend time together at Christmas, and flexible hours will help picking them up/dropping off at school.
I'm not sure this actually IS related. I think bot traffic is a bigger problem. Are you saying there's as much fake ad click traffic from AdNauseam as there is from bot traffic?
NOx isn't the only pollutant involved in localized deaths from pollution, so it's very misleading to claim a car "pollutes 4x as much as a truck" based on NOx alone.

Also, what does this have to do with the VW scandal?

Your own article explains why the cars generate more NOx per mile. They are held to lower standards than the trucks and busses after those were "reigned in" in 2011. It's not some kind of defeat device, the cars are still within regulation

I'm frightened by how a seemingly pragmatic government has been able to spiral into dogmatic, protectionists policies so rapidly. I suppose that I mistook the recent decades of economic development as evidence of true ideological reform taking place. Now I feel naive for expecting more from the government that imprisoned the father of their ubiquitous high speed rail system.

The Eastern desire to require "harmonious thoughts" is so at odds with the skepticism required to birth true innovations. I was once convinced that China was on the verge of becoming a new force in modern technology. But after seeing a long line of regulations meant to increase the echo of their political echo chamber, I doubt technological innovation can linger much longer.

>I mean, it's not a topic I hear come up in my casual conversations very often. I know self-help books sell, but there's also a bit of difference between buying one on a whim and scanning it, and obsessing over it.

They probably would have decent fuel economy if they did a 20 minute commute at 50mph because they are really light and have low drag.

It's not just an upgrade issue. Many organisations aren't running Windows 10 and so have no browser upgrade path to Edge at all. Many organisations still have an older version of IE, probably IE11 but sometimes earlier, as their standard desktop browser.

Experience tells us that those organisations aren't in a hurry to upgrade their standard desktop deployment just to get a new browser so web developers can play with the shiny new toys. Did we learn nothing from the XP and IE6 era?

So it's all very well talking about newer JS features, but pragmatically, you can't just wish away the need for compatibility with browsers more than a year or two old if your target audience is businesses, governments, or other large organisations.

There's an unhealthy complacency among parts of the web dev community, as if something being available in the latest Chrome canary now means it can be used everywhere. That's just not how a distributed system works when you don't fully control the client.

Even if it were, you're not just going to retrofit something as significant as multi-threaded architecture into most existing JS code bases. Outside the HN bubble, not everyone gets to start a greenfield JS project every six months.

I think aphextron's original comment was fair and realistic: as a practical matter, even with the rapid pace of change in the JS ecosystem, we still can't use a lot of day-to-day features in JS that would be routine in most other modern programming languages.
"Where there are plenty of studies that show sex hormones affect the brain, and that there are some group-level differences between male and female brains—for example, on average, women have more gray matter then men—what’s not proven, according to Joel, “is that these effects add up to create two types of brains: male and female.”"

I suppose we can keep this up and dance around definitions forever. What's there to prove? You either can make a statistically significant guess that a brain belongs to a man or a woman based on a scan or you can't. I'm not qualified to have an opinion on the matter but honestly, I think people pushing this are doing more harm than good regardless of their intentions.

I think a more appropriate title is what it's like to learn front end web development in 2017, not much of the discussion has anything to do with language details and everything to do with MVC and html.
Yes. It's mainly that happiness is being used to sell stuff to people (that will "make them happy").

What is the reason you ask?

Also, will app size be the most determining factor whether you choose Objective-C or Swift?

I'd say that the choice is up to the development team. If that's not yet present, perhaps the choice can be left up to whether you actually can get a developer in either language.

I am finding Google adverts less and less effective for an e-commerce business my parents run. I think it may be because consumers are getting better at ignoring the ad-noise on the web, and this is potentially quite worrying for Google and other ad based businesses. It's not beyond the realms of imagination that this fake traffic could be an attempt re-bolster their main revenue stream, and they've been caught out by their customers!

Absolutely. Broad, biased statements are indisputably the best way to gain deep insight into an issue. Details and worries about correctness often muddy the waters.
If your focus is first on doing what is best for the company, it's hard for others to object to that, use fact based decision making when possible.

Managing people is different than being a dev, look to your immediate manager for help during the transition, it might help ease any tensions.

You need to build working relationships with your peers to work effectively together.

Politics usually is meant to mean silly office gamesmanship, but really is about understanding people's motivators which includes fears.

Yes.

The only reason why we are not offering a clustering plan is because when you experience a network partition in such a case, you will loose data. And we do not want to be in a situation where we are explaining to our customers that there data has been lost through no fault of our own, but because that's the way RabbitMQ works.

We would rather have single node plans where failure modes are much easier to deal with.
The problem was actually wifi information (which can be used to infer location) not location. What OS are you using that you can't choose permissions individually for an app? I forget which version of Android got that but it's at least a couple years old at this point. The other benefit being that it installs updates without having to ask for you permission, then when the app needs a permission, it asks you if you want to grant that permission. And you can go to Settings->Apps->[The App]->Permissions to enable/disable them individually later.
Yes, but one of the points of running an ad blocker is to avoid sending any information about you to third-party trackers, clicking on every ad nullifies this, even when blocking the third-party cookies. And as I said I don't think that it will make their databases less accurate, as it's often easy to separate false clicks from real ones (due to different engagement rates and requests).

Credit goes to Hirose for the idea on USB Micro B, as they hint at it their ZX catalogue [1], but logically everything on USB devices is normally a receptacle_ so custom cables really is the only use for a PCB mount _plug_. If you download the catalogue and scroll to page 3 you can see example 3D renders on the second half of that page that might make it a bit more obvious what I was describing.

In actual fact for USB C you'd probably end up having to mount all connectors in the cables on tiny PCBs regardless, because of the potential requirements for signal conditioning and electronic marking ICs unique to USB C implementations. With so many pins on usb C without a doubt you'd need these tiny PCBs to be double sided to get all the traces to the PCB edge, and I wouldn't be surprised if some commercial usb C leads have PCBs with 4 layers.

I've only designed PCBs myself for the traditional USB PCB mount USB A plug (an Amphenol part) and Micro B plugs (Hirose ZX series parts) as these are very simple pinouts and are perfectly doable for a hobbyist I'd say if you want custom cabling. USB C looks significantly more complex and an in-cable PCB interface is the only way to go for that level of complexity.

I sense that the target audience is probably people who are already developers but have a negative view on the current js ecosystem.

They are likely to be fairly happy with their existing approaches to desktop and server development and want to learn to use javascript where it is currently unavoidable.
It could be a bit far fetched..

But I recommend skipping all frameworks and do a lot with native JS and learn the prototype chain.. this will make you understand a lot more about how JavaScript works and also how JS is attached to the DOM.

Frameworks change so often in JS world!

I'm pretty sure the Chinese government will give its astroturfers a free pass on the identity requirements. And the social norms that pressure people when they are not anonymous include not making the government look bad.

Stopping for refueling is Ok-ish, such as Quantas QF1 LHR-SYD which stopped in Bangkok last time I took it (heard that changed to Dubai?). Just walked into a gate and waited a little while the plane filled up fuel and beer. Then back to the same seat. Adding 3-4h is obviously not ideal but I wouldn't pay a large premium to fly direct compared to that. If I did it on a regular basis and was in business class it would be another matter, but can they really find enough such passengers?
You need to find a review written by an enthusiast with measuring, or at least estimating equipment. Assume all the *fire brands are outright lying. Cheap stuff claiming more than about 1500 lumens per 18650 is usually lying. There is, however a pocketable, $40 flashlight that makes an honest 4000+ lumens on a single 18650: the Emisar D4. There's a catch though: it's dissipating about 80 watts of power to do that and thermal throttling kicks in after a few seconds. To give it more HN cred, it has an open source firmware.

As to your request, a couple general recommendations first: skip the zoom, and don't chase output numbers. Zoom is pretty optically inefficient, and small zoomable flashlights don't end up with much more throw distance than similar size fixed reflector flashlights. They don't do wide-angle illumination as well either. A good reflector with sufficient output provides both at once. As for brightness, human perception of brightness is roughly logarithmic (with a base between 2 and 3), so it takes four times the output to look twice as bright. Anything over about 500 in a pocketable flashlight is pretty decent, and most 18650 lights have more.

Specific recommendation: the Wowtac/Atactical (both names show up on Amazon sometimes) A2. This is one of the smallest 18650 lights, has shortcuts to low, high and last-used modes from off and has a right-angle configuration that works equally well handheld of as a headlamp. A pocket clip, headband and 18650 battery with built-in USB charging port are included. It costs $20, and I have no idea how they make a profit given all the stuff it comes with. Go with the neutral white tint if you can find it; this looks more like sunlight and won't wash out colors as much as the cool white.
Solar Eclipse from the International Space Station
in 2014 vettel fell off a bit and Christian Horner said it was due to a loss of brake feeling with the new formula. Now most of the tricks are completely secret and it's all about tricks to comply with the regulations but circumvent them and racing drivers have a lot of excuses that aren't to be believed but I could sort of see this.

If you want to have more natural braking in some corners and recover less energy and then maybe deploy the energy at more optimal places on the track then this sort of thing makes a little sense, especially if you can make it work. I would think it highly prone to being confused though. It would be interesting to see some data on the differences between this type of algorithm when it works and the Prius algorithm.

There's no observable effects to distinguish conscious and unconscious molecule. Having a definition that can't be used for experimental validation is not useful.
A few honest questions for anyone who's an ad buyer for mixed media: I've wondered how advertisers look at broadcast advertising compared to digital. For one there's no direct correlation (as in a click) with broadcast television. There's also no direct accounting of who actually saw it, just a best guess based on Neilson numbers. It seems to me that DVR's are akin to ad blockers as well. Why is digital so conversation obsessed (clicks/purchases) and not focused as much on the branding values (CPM)? Is broadcast advertising so much cheaper than digital that it makes sense to just blanket ads and hope for the best?
It's such a waste of energy in a planet already burdened with climate change we worsen annually. Greed is crazy. What this is wasting is painful to see.
Shhhh. Don't tell anybody - but that still works.

There's a high risk for a house fire unless they build the power cells away from the house.

But this got me interested in my own DIY so I decided to cost compare Tesla powerwall vs DIY house fire in a box.

If I were spending $15.7k on equipment and wanted a cheaper alternative to my regular bill (~120/mo) with a 33kWh charge capacity it would have to last 10 years without any replacements to make it break even.

I could get 2x 14kWh (28kWh total) powerwalls installed by Tesla for ~$12k, with solar panels it jumps to 14k.

Note that this is price of equipment only. Installation can run up to $2k according to Tesla.

DIY: The price comes out to ~2.1kWh per $1k. (33kWh/$15.7k)

Tesla: Including $2k for solar panels, it comes out to 2kWh per $1k. (28kWh/$14k) Without solar it goes to 2.3kWh/$1k. (28kWh/$12k)

There is not much difference between the two really, except the DIY won't come with a warranty.
