Their data[1] recently saved me from snapping up a "deal" on a Seagate 3TB.

Of the drives installed in 2012, by 2015 32% had failed, 62% were removed out of caution for failing some diagnostics, and 6% were still in place.

Not worth the risk to save $20. I have no way of knowing if Seagate fixed the issues and kept producing them or if they're still trying to dump old stock of bad drives.

Thanks, Backblaze!

#1 reason has to be the low overhead. You could say having to include a counter is overhead, but it's still less than setting up your own blog and fragmenting your online presence into some other platform that wants you to publish there all the time.

#2 is that your followers are much more likely to read a thread, since a thread of length N will appear in your timeline at least N times. I often scroll through my feed and see a (28/30) marker, view the thread and read the rest of it. (Yes, 30 whole tweets!) If you tweeted out a link to an article you wrote 30 times, nobody would follow you. Some people will tweet twice for people in other timezones, but that's all you can get away with for out-of-band links.

#3 is that a thread often evolves out of discussion that's already on Twitter, and must participate where that discussion is happening at the time. Reacting to fast-paced news is a key one. Take this example: Josh Chafetz (the constitutional law professor, not the Congressman) watches Twitter respond to the Arpaio pardoning, and tweets a thread on why people are hot-taking it wrong[^1]. The next day, he turns it into an op-ed[^2]. But what good is an op-ed about rushed hot-takes a day late?

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter made thread counters a first-class feature. People use the platform how they want, and it will stretch to do what is needed.

Yes most surface warships have at least four lookouts on every watch to visually look for vessels and other hazards. That system works well as a safety backup for radar as long as they pay attention and communicate effectively.

Ask HN: What are some use cases for single-page apps?
Besides screen navigation

Things I can think of:

- Single field validation

- Complex Async back-end process(Download, complex reports etc)

- Suggestion text field

- Multi step Wizard(kinda screen nav)

- Grid

- Continuous scrolling

- game

- accordion
Thanks for sharing. You're completely right; walking and seeing enriches life no end. As it happens I'm fortunate enough to live near the Alexander Pope spot you mention and regularly spend dawn walking around the bend of the River Thames from Twickenham to Richmond. Beautiful. I wish you a speedy recovery and much walking in your future.

Yeah I knew someone would come back with that -- but that's only true if you tie a very strict one-to-one meaning between every use of the verb "accept" and the adjective "acceptable".

Words have subtle meanings. If you paid attention to my post, I was clearly drawing a line between the fact that people accept the fact that they really don't have a good alternative to using, say, Google. But they may not find it acceptable that Google data mines their searches to sell their info to advertisers.

So while they "accept" their situation, they clearly don't find it "acceptable". Much as you might accept the fact that you have to work for a boss who is a jerk, because you have no other employment options. So you don't find the situation acceptable, but you have to accept it anyway.

It's good that you're talking about this. That's the first step towards making things better.

Just one more stranger's opinion: These things tend to feed on themselves. (Stress makes it hard to focus, which is in and of itself stressful...) Also, I've heard that stress-related chemicals like cortisol stay in your body and make it more likely that future situations will trigger stress. If that's true, you could really benefit if you find some way to break the cycle. I've heard vigorous exercise is supposed to help (though possibly just because it improves your sleep).

I'm sorry to hear about your RSI. I don't want to sound glib, but is there any way you can take another look at it? You've probably investigated all the possible work setups and all the medical options, but I can see that contributing to the mental overwhelm.

Not sure what exactly you mean by "demanding family life," but I had a friend who told me his life got better when he started trying to say"no" to his family a little more often -- both immediate family and other family members. His thought was it's better for them and him if he's not there feeling overloaded, and then going through the rest of the week also overloaded. (My suggestion to him was to hire a cleaning woman or a baby-sitter or someone to lighten the load wherever he could.)

Finally, could you think about changing jobs? (And then make sure you take some time off between the last job and the new one.) It sounds like you feel comfortable talking to your manager about reducing responsibilities, so maybe your employer isn't the problem. Just tossing this out there because you have ways to change the situations and choices you can make. Sometimes knowing that's there eases some of the angst.

If all else fails, maybe grab a little downtime anyways. Taking a break is sometimes more productive than putting extra pressure on yourself when your brain isn't where it usually is -- since the pressure doesn't really resolve the situation. (I've gambled on the idea that I'll come back more productive after time off -- and it's actually worked more than a couple times.)
We used that, but sadly it doesn't help with CI, constant simulator / connected device issues and breakages in toolchains when Apple releases new Xcode :(
Out of curiosity, are you watching percentiles or averages in your metrics?
For the most frequently used links, I have them outside folders but rename them to 1-4 letters or none if the icon is distinct enough.
I work from home and do the exact same thing. I carry my laptop around, too when I'm on a conf call or Webex. I've had to modify and improve my wifi network to handle ever last corner of my house.
Car break down on their own too. If you're gambling with your life driving in such a place without taking precautions, you're already in greater danger anyway. Where I'm from, engine reliability isn't part of vehicle safety inspections.
I wonder if they're claiming the immobilizer device as their property, assuming its something substantial they'd want to reuse in another vehicle.

I love the fact that they kept doing this on a regular basis even more. It's like a gift.
The Gang of Four book was written in 1994, and Java was released to the public in 1995. The patterns were actually developed by C++ programmers, and the authors sought to categorize and formalize them. The patterns are useful in the context of object-oriented programming in general, not just Java.

The language most of the examples are written in, C++, does allow multiple inheritance and metaprogramming, and a bunch of other stuff Java does not allow. The patterns are still useful in C++ despite those features, which is why C++ developers came up with them in the first place.
When I was three-and-twenty

I heard a wise man say,

"Put in your forty hours,

Don't give your soul away.

Hack the Python and the Ruby,

But keep your fancy free."

But I was twenty three

No use to talk to me.

.

When I was three-and-twenty

I heard him say again,

"The nodes out of the DOM

never do yield without pain.

'Tis paid with frameworks plenty,

Till your face turns blue."

And I am four-and-twenty,

And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
That's what I was trying to get at. Once people get a taste I think the demand for More capable solutions like Tango will be much higher than it would have been otherwise.

This is the view from the inside as a Google employee. You see all these lines between what you work on and what other people work on. From the outside? People see it quite differently. For an example you can maybe relate to, it's easy to criticize Apple for recent design decisions (touchbar, lack of escape button, etc) and say that the whole company is losing touch with reality. The people working on the iphone might feel the same way you do here: There are more engineers at Apple than the ones working on the touchbar.
Before you do anything else, if you haven't already, I'd advice you to see your physician and explain your situation - at the very least have a basic set of blood tests done. Vitamin B or D deficiencies, for instance, can both adversely affect concentration.

If that's already covered, is taking an extended break a possibility? I was having similar difficulties, and I'm much more productive again after a 2 month absence.

Good luck and best wishes.
I have a lot of nostalgia for Solaris and Irix circa 2000. They had their uses and places, especially when coupled with SGI and Sun hardware. I think mostly the reason its nostalgic is that it reminds me of a "golden age" (late 1970's to mid-1990's?) of accessible computing when computers were still the domain of nerds.

Hi HN,

Today, I made a Telegram bot that turns your voice memos into a podcast RSS feed. Every voice memo you send to the bot (@telecast_robot) is added to your personal podcast RSS feed.

It also generates a simple webpage with all your memos:

https://telecast-production.herokuapp.com/@marckohlbrugge

Podcast RSS feed:
https://telecast-production.herokuapp.com/@marckohlbrugge.rs...

I often use Telegram voice memos to share with quick thoughts with friends. Thought it would be nice to easily share them publicly, so that's how Telecast (working name) was born. It's a very quick way to create a personal 'podcast' with short episodes.

It is "npmless" ;-)
I could have not noticed use of swap in the previous test, so I repeated it on a Linux box and 1e8 numbers (instead of 1e9). Julia took 100.583ms while Python 207ms (probably due to double reading of the array). So I guess adding 1e9 numbers should take about 1 second on a modern desktop CPU.
I run Linux on my laptop. That's not a server. Just provide a GUI application so no one in their right mind would put it on a server.
These are extraordinary examples that amount to clickbait.
I would usually attribute this to burnout, but there might be other factors at work. I was exhausted on and off for three years, had many days off and would eventually get to the point of not being able to complete my work. I thought it might've been sleep apnoea or chronic fatigue. Eventually at the end of last year it got to the point where I could barely work at all, and I knew it wasn't burnout (been there, done that, don't stress about fuck all now).

I ended up being diagnosed with cancer, and after a bout of chemoradiation, it disappeared completely (as far as scans can tell). Let me tell you, the difference in energy was nothing short of amazing.

I'm really not trying to frighten you, but I was lucky that it wasn't aggressive and got caught relatively early. Chances are it's not, but it could just as easily be another medical condition and it's worth seeing a doctor. There might be indications of things in bloodwork or other measurements, so be patient but firm with your doctor if they tell you to just "forget about it".
Seems like their 4TB series was shitty to the point I wonder how it's possible. Larger drives seem ok though.

> When a person registers a domain name, they become the owners of that domain name.

They may own the name such that it would be improper to allow someone else to register it, but there entitlement to service from the registrar is based on the terms of the contract they have signed.

> ICANN should probably get involved and punish Network Solutions for this action.

What specific ICANN policy has been violated?

> Network Solutions might be within their rights to choose to no longer 'host' the domain name themselves, but in that case they must be obligated to arrange for a transfer to a different registrar.

They are obligated to process a transfer at the request of the owner and new registrar, subject to certain timing and other rules. They are not, AFAICT, required to arrange such a transfer proactively.
A bit off topic, but what happened with double tap to reflow text? It's a feature I miss a lot from old androids.
We used to track percentiles but discovered Asanas struggled to empathize with them. We switched to defining semantic performance bands (eg < 100ms, < 300ms, < 1s, < 3s, < 5s, < 10s). For each action, we track the percentage per band. Asanas seemed to empathize better with time as the independent variable and percentage as the dependent variable.
> because they are heavily promoted as a security/safety feature,

You can build such features without baking the keys into the hardware. You can have an open security module where changing the key simply makes everything that has been previously secured by it unreadable. That way a user can load his custom keys and firmware if he wants to. You can cascade that dependency down the secure boot chain by mixing some secret from the module into the HDD decryption for example.

Only vendor lock-in (e.g. windows RT) and DRM require hardcoded keys.
OP mentions on the post how it's a simplified explanation. I don't think he's trying to write a textbook on Shor's algorithm here.

Also, a subject's complexity is no excuse to not try and explain it in an accessible way. I find it far-fetched that someone would read a blog post on QC and then assume they're a specialist; and if they do it's not the author's fault. Articles like this help present the field to non-specialists, it allows people to have a basic understanding of Shor's without having to go through years of education/training.

Finally, saying "these kind of articles are ultimately "popular science"" makes me question whether you actually put in the work to read this.
Try somehow to figure out or negotiate a more comfortable situation in your current job (more remote working? non paid leave couple of weeks? educational leave? standing workspace? better chair?). Watch out for advises to change the job - ending up in professional void in this state, it might be very difficult to recover and go back into job market. One thing - time with the closest family (partner, children, parents) is never wasted.
I can't say for others, but personally, for me, threads brought back the interest in Twitter. A thread allows to express much more than a single tweet, yet the limitation forces authors to be concise. Reading replies allows to discovering opinions from outside of the social circle from people, I don't follow. Also, threads are a nice way to tell a story.

As the maker, I'm definitely biased and the Twitter UI isn't perfect, but I believe it's a step in the right direction.
What are you basing these rankings on?

I'm dejected by two things - that privacy invasions are increasing over time and that there's barely any outrage (or outrage that lasts) against these. I feel more and more trapped when I see that most people I know don't care about privacy on the Internet or Internet based services. I point them to how it could be bad for them (including Martin Fowler's excellent article, "Privacy protects bothersome people" [1]), but it all falls on deaf ears. Or they shrug their shoulders in defeat saying it's a lost cause and that it's better not even to think about it.

I'm truly stumped, and can't imagine what tragic event or events will wake people up and get them to take action at a personal level, along with organizing and campaigning for privacy. As of now, I doubt if there will ever be a mass resistance for several decades (leaving the gates wide open for more invasions and power grabs).

That's mostly in reaction to Apple's history of claiming copying and its litigious look and feel lawsuits.

Remember "Redmond Start Your Copiers!" That was an official WWDC banner hung from the rafters by Apple, not some fanboys. Steve Jobs frequently gave interviews accusing rivals of copying, and then copying with the excuse "Good artists copy; great artists steal". All of those years of going on the offensive against everyone, has created a tendency of the other side to look for hypocrisy now.

There's something pretentious, and deeply hubristic and lacking in humility in Apple's marketing that I think has fanned the flames of these fanboy wars. In a way, their marketing reminds of the way Trump talks, only with a larger vocabulary. Replace "Great!", "Bigly!", "SAD!", with "Beautiful", "Amazing", "Breakthrough". It's just continuous repetitive of superlatives, even for minor features.
I'm sure they are tracking/matching by cookies, ip, FB logins, geolocation, etc . . . by combining those it's pretty easy to serve up the right ad, most of the time.

- everyone feels the same to a degree.
The problem is that the China price is politically motivated. It was cranked up to move motor production to China; exports of the raw material were restricted while motor exports were not. When that backfired, the price was dropped to maintain China's control of rare earth production.

I was on CrashPlan but just recently decided to switch to B2, backup up a bunch of files from my linux server (which I use as a NAS). I primarily knew of Backblaze from these postings.

I basically just have a cron job setup to run b2 sync at 2am, and then kill it at 8am. It generally doesn't take that long to run now, but when I was first syncing everything (couple hundred GB) this allowed it to take place over several days without affecting my daytime bandwidth.

>I did not get the position, but I would recommend you look elsewhere if your focus is truly machine learning

For ML, it's really important to join a team where your interests in ML are aligned with what the team does. It's really hard to see this from a job description. There's enough going on at Google that you can find work that fits.

I've interviewed twice at Google and had the same experience as you. No ML or math questions at all. More algorithms and how to quantify a business problem. That being said, I asked enough questions to realize that some groups use ML, but that's a small part of what they are doing. For example, they might have a platform for doing A/B testing and the "Data Scientist" job is really defining A and B and feeding that into the platform to extract metrics. How much ML being done is going to be different on the Ads team than a customer facing services role for Google Cloud.

I had similar experiences interviewing at Facebook, just with more probability and stats brain teasers. Facebook doesn't guarantee which job you'll get once you're in. You go to the bootcamp and then which team you end up is decided after the bootcamp. That doesn't work for everybody if there are certain types of ML work you're not interested in.
