As noted on my original comment, it was myself and a number of others. Of the 10 on the team, there were four of us doing it - I was mid, then one junior, and two seniors - which (iirc) covered 3 of our 4 major projects.

A few other team members were convinced later because we jsut had a batter clue of what was going on, what we were planning to do, and what was deployed.

This definitely wasn't a lone wolf effort.
The only problem with oat and almond milk is that they're mostly a suspension of cheap vegetable oil in water. Vegetable oils like sunflower oil aren't healthy.
The last time I jumped ship I did not took a paycut - actually a got a small raise - but took a job where I am paid ca. 15% less than my market value. I was recruited by the VP of IT at a small company. We used to work together in the past and he knows what I am capable of if I work under the right conditions, which excludes discussions about BS and interruptions through "burning issues". I do what I love to do, I set my own priorities and my own deadlines. I have a site in Confluence showing the satus of my current projects, he gets every two weeks an e-mail from me with the actual highlights/achievements and once a month we go for lunch together where I can ask him for guidance. I can take some time learning new technologies during working hours and make homeoffice now and then. Why should I leave? Actually I can imagine working for someone else than me only under these conditions.
Those who trust rich people are just going to help out of their own volition aren't any better. Well to do have no incentive and no moral obligation to help.

Your elected officials have both an incentive and moral obligation to help, it's their job. And it's trash talk to say those who trust the government are to blame for their situation as if they shouldn't or can't hold them accountable. This anti-government nonsense is anti-intellectual, and anti-civil.
I've added a clarification. The point of the benchmark is not to compete with other projects, it's merely there to put the parsing speed (and not necessarily the processing that comes after it) in a representative window of performance.
You're missing the fact that if they're all using the same layer (base image) for the JVM all the images will be deduplicated (well, CoW) so you could have a hundred different apps and they would only use the equivalent of a single image for the JVM (in terms of storage).
There's some video that puts those examples together. The Vendor Client Relationship in Real Life Situations? That sounds right.

My advice would be to spend at least a month in each place - it's also a discontinuity point in accommodation pricing. AirBnB snaps into monthly discounts and it's the minimum period for short term rental. Definitely just google "city name short term rental" and look at the local sites - you can find some amazing apartments for a month at a time.

I'm traveling with my girlfriend who works in online marketing. I believe it makes it a lot easier but we've been together the entire time so I can't make a fair comparison. I can see how it might get lonely but I really enjoy hanging out with the girlfriend and go to meetups while traveling so haven't felt lonely at all...

Maybe we're talking at cross-purposes, but you seem to be saying that

(a) it doesn't matter that there was no support for a feature planned for IE, because it is planned for Edge

and

(b) IE and Edge are essentially the same browser, and one is just the upgrade for the other.

I contend that this is what Microsoft's marketing department would like everyone to think, but the reality in larger organisations (and for those developing web sites and apps aimed at those organisations) is that they are two completely different browsers. In many cases, the only way you can "upgrade" from one to the other would be literally upgrading the entire organisation's standard desktop environment, including the OS.

If you're going to contend that a missing feature in one product is only an upgrade issue because you can change the entire OS and then install a completely different product to do the same job and then get that feature then I don't know what wouldn't be "just" an upgrade issue.

> While I have not served in Cuba, my experience in a number of similar hostile, high counterintelligence threat countries suggests that this is more likely a surveillance effort gone wrong, than the use of an offensive sonic weapon.

> We have very little experience anywhere in the world with directed attacks designed to physically harm to our diplomats. However, the use of intrusive technical collection and surveillance which sometimes causes harm in its own right is consistent with past practice in Cuba and elsewhere.

Sadly... so much of what we get these days is manipulated. Can hardly wait for how big business plans to tweak "AI" to further muddy the info we receive./s

I usually first go to Wikipedia and get a summary of the critical reviews, length of film, some other stats. Head over to IMDB for a synopsis of the film (wikipedia doesn't do summary very well, focusing instead on entire plot). Maybe skim over a couple of user reviews (both positive and negative).

If it looks interesting, I'll head over to Youtube and watch the trailer. It's always the trailer that decides for me. Having watched plenty of films over the years, I pick up a tremendous amount of info from a 2-3 minute trailer.

> But there's currently no commercially-viable process for extracting it.

No, that's just hype. Hard rock lithium -pegmatites- were actually the majority of global lithium until recently. They were/are primarily used in ceramics. Brine-produced lithium has one fewer step to convert to lithium in batteries, but the cost is absolutely marginal. It's plenty easy and commercially viable to produce batteries from pegmatite lithium.

Hectorite is specifically what she was talking about as nonviable, which appears to be broadly correct. It requires a couple more steps to extract and costs ~$2/lb[1] compared to current carbonate prices of $2.5-$3.5. So I wouldn't say it's nonviable because it probably helps to put a ceiling on the long-term price of lithium. However high lithium content in these clays is .35-.65% compared to 6%+ in pegmatites. I'm not sure it will ever be relevant.

I am not an intelligence expert but there are no obvious reason why Cuba (even if it is a hostile country) would do this now. The article link I shared above speculate if it is a intelligence gathering malfunction. Other theories also exists, but seems more unlikely.
I made this library a while ago, long before all this hype about React's license (which was with the questionable clause from the beginning). I added support for Preact as I liked the minimalistic style of Preact, used it in my own projects and Jason was really responsive solving Preact's compatibility issues. Later on, Dominic asked if I want to add support for Inferno, which I did. I really love that there are different library implementations with compatible API, so you can choose a proper solution based on its pros/cons.
> What type of sonic weapon could engender that kind of harm?

> Although low-frequency infrasound systems can “silently” cause a wide range of symptoms in human targets – including fairly severe inner ear and even hair cell damage – the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) doesn’t suggest that any brain damage can be caused.

> High-frequency microwaves, however, could certainly cause brain damage without making a sound. If targeted at a person, small bursts could induce “shockwaves” in brain tissue, as well as the inner ear. Prolonged exposures could cause permanent damage.

I'm not sure exactly what is being discussed by this article which is thinly sourced.

However, it is true that _ultrasonic_ waves can change brain activity. It is typically difficult to couple ultrasonic waves to the head. We hear up to 20kHz. 100kHz is marginally attenuated by air. 1Mhz and above are highly attenuated by air, and that's why ultrasound imaging requires a gel to couple the ultrasound generator to your skin.

IF the article is correct that some kind of sonic weapon caused low-grade brain injury, perhaps it was a super-high-amplitude ultrasound in the 50-300kHz range?
There certainly is a middle ground - however why stay in the same place and expect a different future? New Orleans isn't that much more prepared for another flood. Houston re-did the entire bayou system about 5 years ago and yet here we are.

Is there a way to measure healthiness of a single ingredient? I didn't find anything allowing me to label stuff as healthy or unhealthy. At least not scientific. I do not even think there's a scientific definition of healthiness of one single ingredient. I guess by your definition (vegetable oils increasing risk of some cardiovascular diseases) makes all meat, animal breast milk, eggs unhealthy.

I thought only diets and lifestyle can be healthy, regardless of what a single ingredient can do.

Also, if it is vegetable oil, how come there's protein in it? I thought oil is just fat? There's 4 grams of protein in 100mL of soy/oat milk (about the same as cow breast milk). Almonds on the other hand are a big scam with only 0.x protein, water with some flavour.
I don't believe the parent poster was saying the govt was to blame. I have no problems holding them accountable, but the local govt can only do so much in a scenario such as this. They are limited by resources available. Self-responsibility is not anti-government, it is the appropriate adult response. Some situations are out of your control, but that doesn't mean you can't safely care for you and yours along with making sure your neighbors are helped at the same time.

two situations I was personally involved with (as in on the same team with these ppl):

1 - reasonably smart dude (probably top tech guy in the team) acting like he was "the hot sh1t", going couple levels above his manager's to constantly complain about things not being done the way he wanted them done;

2 - run of the mill dude with a "I'm going to slack because I can get a better job elsewhere" attitude.

both of them were told to go look elsewhere if they didn't like it. which they both did leave eventually. don't see anything wrong with management telling them that the door was open.
> At least here in the states, social media + anonymity hasn't exactly been a boon for human progress.

I'm geniunely astounded at the small but vocal pro-censorship group on hackernews of all places. Where did this come from?

Just 5 or 10 or 15 years ago, the idea of any tech minded person being anti-anonymity would be incredibly shocking.

Just in the past 2 or 3 years, there has been quite a small vocal group advocating against anonymity and advocating for censorship. Why?

Not only that, there have been a rise in anti-open source software, anti-GNU, anti-linux rhetoric that is slowly rising on social media as well.

I'm just curious what the mindset or rationale is? Is it because hackernews has grown in popularity beyond the programmers/IT crowd?
Your hypothesis is fundamentally off.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

There must be platforms that try to do 'graph-matching' i.e. ask a new user to rate 25-30 popular movies. Compare against scores of other users who have rated the same movies. Identify a cluster of users who rate similarly; our new user is matched with this group. So, for other movies, the user can check the mean/modal score by members in this cluster. Sound familiar?

Tips:

The cloud is your friend. Try to keep important things available via internet.

If you can take family, SO or friends with you, it helps mitigate the loneliness factor people are talking about here. Also: online forums can be a good way to keep in touch with a consistent group of people as well.

As others are saying, traveling a lot can seriously cut into work time. So, one important trick is to ruthlessly cut expenses.

1. We give capital letters to the Big Bang, certainly we can have capital letters to the word to describe the cause of the universe, God?

2. God is not part of this universe.

3. God, having been the cause of this universe, can be described as all powerful - at least in the same way Big Bang was powerful.

4. God is outside of time.

The above requires no faith at all - to me it's obvious God described in points 1-4 is true.

Now the following requires a degree of faith:

5. God is one, indivisible, at least in the same way a quantum (by definition) is indivisible.

6. God, rather than having zero consciousness, is completely conscious, having equal or more consciousness than all the consciousness in this universe.

If God is all powerful by definition of having caused the universe then I find it harder to believe the specific claim that God in fact, is not conscious, even less than a starfish. And when we are talking about God, it's more likely to be all or nothing, so my specific claim is that God is completely conscious, and being outside of time, all-knowing.
Update: from the justsecurity article:
>The Russian security services were also known to flood the U.S. embassy in Moscow with electromagnetic radiation. They would beam concentrated microwaves and electronic pulses at the Embassy in an attempt to eavesdrop on U.S. typewriters and conversations.

If very high levels of microwaves were used, perhaps this could explain the injuries. Microwaves are electromagnetic, not acoustic, but they are absorbed very weakly by water. It could be that people were injured by heating inside their ears or brain.

Isn't cheese also produced using bacterial reactions that consume the sugars and form solids from the protein? I can imagine developing strains of bacteria that could live off a different variety of sugar. The difference in proteins present in cow's milk vs. vegetable milks seems like it would present a greater obstacle.
Right but there were a lot of specific numbers so the context for specific benchmarks is versions.

Anyway it sounds like we should try to fix the spec.
My problem with promises is that you can't "uninvoke" them. I.e., if all listeners unsubscribe, the original job they were waiting for could be killed, but the design of Promises doesn't allow that. Instead, the job will continue to be executed (without any listeners), and thus wasting resources.
Understood. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Thanks for reporting these; I've corrected them on the article.
Just like people need money to write songs or play sports. No money, no sports... oh, wait, that’s not how it works.

People with something to say will find a way to say it, money or no.

The way this works for sports and music is you produce for free because you love it and are good at it, until you are scouted or discovered or get an agent, and ‘go pro’.

Used to work the same for writing. Can’t see why it shouldn’t just because a few written word performers prefer busking.
I like TypeScript too, but:

* 'readonly' support, while nice to have, is mostly broken. It's just way too easy to coerce a readonly value into a non-readonly one, especially with nested objects.

* There are no proper sum types. You can emulate tagged unions with a type field as a tag and match on that and get good compiler support for the fields, but in no way does it feel like a proper, language-supported sum type.

* Javascript semantics leak through to TS all the time. Which is kind of the point, TS is supposed to be a static typing layer on top of JS.

This is an advantage too: you stay close to the actual runtime and it's easy to interact with non-typescript code.

But a lot of stuff still feels quite messy, like a bolted on abstraction (which it is).
Also not apparently controlled-for is whether these people live in urban vs. rural (noisy vs. quiet) environments, and therefore can ordinarily expect sleep to be interrupted vs. not interrupted, by outside noise that the experiment's pink noise might be camouflaging.

I drink milk, but we (as in "we in the Western World"), could all do with drinking less of it.

You would be surprised by how many people are unaware of how milk is produced. Only a pregnant female cow can produce milk [Edit: as BenjiWiebe correctly states below, cows lactate after they give birth). So a female dairy cow will spend most of her adult life in a pregnant state. Once she gives birth, she is separated from her calf usually within a few hours (sometimes she'll be together with her offspring for 24 hours, but never more than that).

Then she'll be artificially inseminated again (normally within 3 months of giving birth) so she can start producing milk again. And so the cycle repeats.

The reason milk is so cheap (at least in Europe) is because we aren't prepared to pay for higher welfare conditions. We say we care for farm welfare, but our behaviour shows otherwise. Maybe we care a little bit, but we care even more for cheap prices. (And yes, I confess I am as guilty as the rest of us).

In many European countries, increasing numbers of dairy cows spend their entire lives indoors ("zero grazing"). For example, Germany is the EU's largest milk producer and the majority of dairy cows spend their entire lives indoors with no access to outdoor pasture. This is perfectly legal under EU regulations.
Hey thecodefounder and others, if you are in Houston thanks for passing good information along to folks. I think it is time to help and we can leave the political bickering for some other time.

It being a cat 4 hurricane was bad enough, but the flooding is largely being caused by the two high pressure systems on either side of Harvey [0][1]. Storms normally aren't held in place for a week straight.

I didn't take this article as criticism, I took it as self-evaluation of when to leave. So it doesn't seem wrong to me. Employees leaving is just one of the risks a CEO takes on as part of their job. Their role is responsible for building a good place to work, and if they fail at that task, people leave, the company fails, and they don't take home a payout. On the other hand if they succeed, they enjoy greater financial success than the employees. So this article is not unfair criticism from the employee, is is just a manifestation of how risk/rewards balances play out.
Not at all. Being a developer does not automatically give you better odds at business. These are two very different skillsets.

Creating a little/niche SAAS takes more than writing code. Most business failures from developers that Ive personally talked to is due to not understating how to market and sell. They thought they could hack it and automate it. This part is still very people centric even if you are not constantly interacting with them.

I dont aim to sound mean but this is akin to thinking that every mechanic out there can be be a successful repair garage owner. Different skills. Its very hard and uncommon to have both technical and business skills. Why do you think YC puts so much money into finding people with both?
