this place sounds like a nightmare to work at. no drinking, anti dog policies, no thanks.
I seriously doubt you get 2.5x as much work done, working people for 100 hours a week versus 40.
Proteins were used much more sparingly than they are today. And if it was used, I suspect it to be more likely to be the local variants of pork, poultry, antelope, deer, fish, lizards and snakes, small rodents like squirrels. IMO, uses for pork are more indigenously varied and seem to be less European influenced (Mediterranean specifically, as you would expect from the Spanish), such as (Mexican) Carnitas, Al Pastor, Pozole, Chicharrones, Tamales, Chile Verde, Chile Rojo, Barbacoa. Bison (at least for North American peoples) as a meal takes lots of preparation and butcher work so I suspect it would not be as easy of meal to prepare.
It very much depends on the pet for me. I love having pets that have a very relaxing vibe to them. It makes the place as a whole feel more relaxing. Those dogs that run around and have their play time at work are the worst.

I love redis, and this API looks amazingly simple. I'm sure I can think up a good use case for this, but the only problem I have with it is that time-series log data of this nature is increasingly becoming the defacto source of truth in the various models resembling some version or another of event-sourcing.

Obviously the general thinking is that event sourced time series data allows you to treat every other data source as derived state from the log data. If it gets written to the log, it's safe and that's the only real data that cannot be considered a redundant read layer. A common structure might look like:

1.) Event Sourced/Time Series Layer: Kafka/Kinesis>S3 takes in and saves log data

2.) Operational State Layer: RDBMS Constraints / Application Logic determine how operational state is derived from log data

3.) Indexing Layer: Query optimizations occur with redundant read layers in what is essentially all just various forms of indexing. This can be RDBMS index, ElasticSearch, MapReduce, Redis, etc.

Redis' place has historically been at #3, for many reasons. Whether an application has an event-sourced layer in which their operational state is derived from log data or is actually considered the primary source is something that is hugely variable. I would say that most applications do not make a distinction between #1 and #2, and just write state directly to an RDBMS. But while the operational state may or may not be considered redundant, depending on the application, the indexing layer is almost guaranteed to be a redundant layer. The redundancy of the index layer means that Redis operating purely in-memory allows the whole thing to be blown away with no consequence. To move it two steps down the data model to the defacto source of truth is a monumental shift in responsibility. Redis as an in memory caching layer has only ever had me have a cursory awareness of its capabilities in terms of saving to disk, but I would think that a fundamentally different use case like this will have me taking a serious look at where that functionality is at today.

All of this being said, there are plenty of use cases with kafka/kinesis which are done today which actually don't even save the log data at all, and just use them as an intermediary buffer to have multiple consumers on an event stream. There's also nothing stopping us from just having one of the consumers of this stream to be saving it to S3/Disk ourselves.
My WeWork offers plenty of de facto nap spaces (they're labeled as "phone booths"). the key is to have company culture support wandering away from your desk for 30 minutes during the day (a 15 minute nap takes me 30 minutes).
More units, even luxury units, are good for everyone, even lower income people. The people trying to advocate for lower-income people by blocking housing are making it worse for the very people they're trying to help!
Periyodik tablo iyi mi, ne zaman ve kim tarafından bulundu icat edildi keşfedild
This is ostrich logic. With our heads comfortable buried in the sand we don't have to consider that we're routinely being owned up by vulnerabilities Google hasn't yet published (we are, by the way). Not only that, but when Google does get around to publishing a vulnerability, we're not even obliged to patch it ourselves; rather, we blame Google for publishing.

This would be preposterous reasoning if it weren't overwhelmingly normalized in our industry. It's an embarrassment for the whole field.

The courts have a defined role within the political process - the interpretation of the law - which they are following here. Both conservative and liberal activists have a long history of suing to enact political change. It is important that these issues are worked out in court precisely so that the rulebook is applied with more fairness.

There are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in dental pulp. I have not studied them myself; however, they are reportedly similar to bone marrow MSCs. We bank all the nucleated cells in the bone marrow for two reasons: 1) there are high numbers of MSCs and hematopoietic stem cells (which build blood and immune cells), as well as endothelial progenitor cells (which build vasculature) and others such as marrow stromal cells, pericytes, etc, and 2) most trials employ bone marrow-derived MSCs. The significantly higher numbers are an advantage from an expansion standpoint, and the diversity of cells for applications. Still, having your young biology from your teeth (as long as the cryopreservation is done properly) is an asset, IMO.
I buy an iPhone. How do I create and publish an app for it?

Christine Lagarde is one smart lady. The fact that she's talking about this is very interesting.
If I were runnning a similar company I would try to find out if a balance could be struck with structured "pet days" and "no pet days" ... I wonder if even that would be too uncomfortable though, for people who really fear/despise pets.

Alternatively, mock out the HN endpoint so you can test your logic independently of the IO, and test the IO code with actual use/content. If you're building something that posts submissions and comments to HN, hopefully you have content worth submitting :)

It was probably similar to what happened when the USS Porter collided with another vessel in the Strait of Ormuz. You can hear how confusing the situation was from this audio recording. Apparently, the work environments can be extremely stressful and that can lead them to become toxic.

I'm not a Rubyist, but in my experience there are few Ruby packages with non-Ruby dependencies. That makes packaging much easier.
Aren't perks that are offered to everyone tax deductible and perks for individuals not tax deductible?

Will it still get updates? I don't need 4K nor do I need HDR.
Technology doesn't help because many of the issues that are "lost" in handoffs exist only in a physician's head. And since digital documentation is both (1) incredibly inconvenient and (2) a legal liability, it's likely to stay there.

The issue with hand-offs comes down to trying to transfer too much information, too quickly. Fixing this is primarily a funding issue - everything else is trying to make up a fundamental resource scarcity with operational improvements.
Depends on the company I guess. The standard at my office is pizza because it is cheap.
There are times I feel Apple, and others, would remove Steering wheels from cars and replace with a pared down direction stick if they could, simply because the steering wheel is an older concept.
In the USA at least I think the negative social stigma associated with sleeping anywhere near your place of work has a lot to do with this. Obviously some places do have them; it just seems that it’s been one of the more difficult cultural beliefs to break free from when it comes to widespread adoption.
I haven't used optional typing in python. However, the problem I see with optional typing is that while I may choose to use it my team mates might not. Even more importantly, the 3rd party dependencies I use probably don't. So the amount of code that actually uses the types would be very limiting. Saying the choice is entirely up to you personally is a misnomer.
It’s certainly true, but normally it’s based on real data rather than feelings. It turns out us computer experts are a tiny minority of computer users so things we want to do are often hidden. Better than my dad finding the options though.
Curious what on that list you consider shiny and new? Every one of these projects have been widely adopted, through multiple release cycles, and are considered stable.

- Ruby - 22 years old

- Rails - 11 years old

- NodeJS - 8 years old

- ReactJS - 4 years old

- Redis - 8 yrs old

- StatsD - around 6 yrs old

- Terraform - around 3 yrs old, arguably our most "shiny tool" but also has little production responsibility once an environment has been configured

- Ansible - 5 yrs old

- Grape - 7 yrs old

- Express - 6 yrs old

- Postgres - 21 yrs old

- MongoDB - 8 yrs old

- Docker - 4 yrs old, maybe our second most shiny tool. But at this point Docker is well support and considered stable. We run it on ECS and generally trust the stability of AWS services.
Currently, we only perform collections in the US. We do have clients from other countries that have banked with us. Our biorepository is in MA. Once you've banked with us, we can arrange to have your cells sent anywhere, however.

I have always said Apple should buy Nintendo. Much better fit, much better synergy. Imagine what a competitive advantage they would have with Nintendo exclusives being brought to iPhone? - The Nintendo switch is already basically an iPad in a dock, Apple could release a Nintendo dock for iPad that comes with game controllers. The iPad probably has a better GPU too.. $700 buying you an iPad as well as a Nintendo gaming device with better graphics power would be an incredible value proposition. The companies share a similar culture - user experience, family friendly and a cult like following. Would be super interesting as long as they didnt kill Nintendo.
I like the attitude on alcohol.

Those issues have been fine with me, and my Late 2013 MBP.

VMWare Fusion + Bootcamp, however...
1) I think there's the possibility of a symbiotic relationship between the results of a Sony acquisition and Apple in a great number of areas, as the original author points out, however culturally it would be difficult and it would break away from apple's traditional mantra...

2) A quick google search finds that they own two production facilities (one in Mesa, AZ, one in San Jose) though you're right that using either of these facilities or ones acquired through Sony would be a departure from what we generally know.

3) Very subjective - even among DSLR manufacturers, depending on who you ask, who is #1 in cameras varies greatly. Taken at face value, DxO Mark recently declared[1] that the iPhone 8 Plus had the best smartphone camera available. It's definitely one of Apple's talking points during product announcements, but non-smartphone camera market seems to have devolved into a niche these days[2].

Aside from IP I'm not sure there's value add to the smartphone market that Apple can obtain from Sony and moving into the DSLR space, while potentially exciting from a photography perspective, it seems to be a declining market. Then again, maybe DSLR photographers are the ones who have moved away from flickr.
