I had a delivery person call my cell phone 8 times in a row back-to-back from a random washington number without leaving a message.

I walked out of a work meeting because I assumed someone I know is probably dead or dying. It was because the delivery driver wanted to know how to get to my address since it didn't show up in their system...

I was livid, called support, they give you a month of prime free.

Then my next 5 packages didn't get delivered because they were all being done by "AMZL-US" which is what their shipping company shows up as. Every single one got marked as "undeliverable" at 7:30PM every day. I even resorted to calling them earlier in the day to ensure that they knew my address and could deliver it, and they always assured me it was fine, only for 7:30 to roll around and the package gets marked as undeliverable.

After my next 5 months of free prime (and 4 canceled packages, 1 I had re-routed to a storage locker and drove to get it), I had a 3 hour long call with someone at amazon that not only went through the process of "prioritising" AMZL for my address (so other carriers are more likely), they also tried to add my address to their system.

They can now finally deliver to my house, but they really like to leave things in the rain without any kind of plastic bag over the box like USPS and UPS do (they also hilariously always knock on my garage door because they can't see the front door from the road, I'm pretty sure there is some kind of "if you don't do this you are fired" rule about knocking when you leave a package, and they always look confused, knock on the garage door, then head back to their truck).

The plural of anecdote is not data.

I myself have lost about that amount of weight and I didn't do it on a ketogenic or paleo diet. I certainly tried those diets, because a fat guy desperate to lose weight would try just about anything, and they didn't work for me at all.

My personal opinion is that most men who embrace those diets do so because it allows them to eat high-fat "manly" foods like steak and bacon all the time and still virtue-signal that they're being "healthy", something more traditional diets involving a lot of salad don't do. Which isn't to say that those diets lack merit, mind you, I'm not a nutritional scientist.

Which brings up my next point: most people who promote these diets are not nutritional scientists. That's why it is hard to look at them as anything but a fad, and there is so much money to be made in selling people "easy" solutions to weight loss that we really aught to be very weary of anything being hyped.
I've seen him single out (and with rather insulting wording) people who disagreed with him politically or even on trivial topics, among other questionable, or at least insensitive, behavior towards individuals.
Usually children are heavily vaccinated, not adults. However, the costs of vaccines are usually covered by insurance. Additionally the federal gov't provides a program called CHIP that ensures millions of children (8.9 million kids covered 2016) in lower income households receive proper immunization.

People wait for hours for tables. What should I do?

Or you could do what the restaurant down the road from me did when they found themselves in a similar situation. Buy out the place next door, build a huge outside patio area, quadruple the number of tables you have, have the quality of your food and service completely collapse under the strain of trying to serve this many guests and lose your reputation is a great restaurant.

There's definitely two types of very well known speakers.

People who have worked on some really notable project. Linus Torvalds, David Heinemeier Hansson, Joel Spolsky and so on. I know these people are worth listening to because I can see that their code is a success.

Then there are people who I have no idea what they have ever written at all. Robert Martin, Martin Fowler and so on. I don't know if I should listen to what these people say at all. Does it work? What software projects have they made a success that I can look at?

I suppose in the latter case it's usually closed-source enterprise code that they've consulted on? Well if I can't look at it I'm not sure I'm just prepared to take their word that it's successful.

Is this reasonable of me?

For this type of problem - it must be done on a single node. The overhead of network communication would have killed the latency requirement - that's why we need a huge machine like this.

How could it be a scheme? Look they have ironclad proof:

Yes, convenience demands that jobs be organized into 10 or 14 hour weeks. At least we can be confident that the people taking such shitty jobs have lots of leverage and will be well compensated!
Please don't drag the discussion down to this level.
Not necessarily. Physics and biology agree that calories absorbed < calories expended = weight loss, but complicated biological mechanisms are involved in both how many calories are absorbed from food and how many are expended. If the diets in question prevent the body from absorbing a good deal of their calories from food and/or act on the metabolism to increase caloric expenditure, then what he is saying could be true.
Some random things I find irritating about Netflix and Amazon Video:

-Related movies shown in search results when searching for a movie that they don't have in their library. I don't want to watch a bloody alternative else I would have searched for it in the first place!

-Cliched, one dimensional characters

-Tired plot tricks. It seems to me like almost all shows overuse the same limited number of devices to create engagement with characters, build tension, etc. To me this comes across as a bit desperate and needy, as if the scriptwriters are terrified of losing viewers if they don't keep the pacing 100% at all times. I'm sure in the past TV shows used to have more of a sensible, organic pacing.

-On Amazon most of what I want to watch costs extra and 4k pricing is insane

-No trailers on Netflix - I like trailers!

-Removal of the voting system info on Netflix. Stop trying to disguise how unpopular the content is!

-Limited range, at least here in the UK

-Agenda-driven content, especially on Netflix
what does that even mean? that could mean "bob likes higher/lower taxes and i think that is dumb" so what?
None of them? There is absolutely no question that these vendors tried some novel things that were later integrated within Android.

And if we need to talk about experience, I started with a G1 on Android 1.0, then G2, HTC Hero, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Glide, GS2, Nexus 4, GS3, Nexus 5, one other HTC that I can't remember the name of, Nexus 6p, GS8. I've tried a lot of devices, and I've rocked them all.

And through those with unique vendor additions, it was always a mix of ups and downs, and later to see many of those innovations being swept into the Android base.

I also question any claim that Android is "without frills, without skins". Android is 98% frills. With each iteration we have a new laundry list of frills. At the same time the core OS took until about version 7 to finally get basics like smooth scrolling down (something that vendor skins got to a much better state much earlier).
That's the quickest way to go out of business.

One thing I don't get, how do you navigate with hjkl when you're in insert mode?

I've switched to neovim as my main editor months ago.
I like it, but I still use the arrows to navigate, or sometimes the `w` to jump words and `10j` to go 10 lines down for example.

But I go in and out of insert mode all the time, and hjkl is not useful at all there.
So I never use hjkl to navigate. Never.
So how come most people use those as the main navigation?

Am I missing something?
That's a rather special case; the nature of the HALE program means that you can't allow someone to ask "do SSNs X and Y belong to the same natural person?". Whereas such a question would be entirely reasonable for the SS issuing authority to answer under more normal circumstances.

(as for whether this case was actually a case of fraud, well, "the heart of Yould’s defense was that she thought she was allowed, under the hale program, to use the new Social Security number to apply for the loans above the lifetime cap and to use one name as a co-signer for loans to the other" pretty much sums it up for me... who would think that?!)
As a startup founder? The Bay Area is probably still the best.

As an ordinary developer? Consider New York. The pay in engineering is about the same, but instead of keeping all the people with normal amounts of money across the bridge in Oakland and beyond, you actually have a meaningfully integrated city that tries to cater to a variety of wealth levels.

And even if you stay in an enclave of rich-and-fanciness, your neighbors will be in media, finance, and creative fields, not just wall-to-wall tech. My first neighbor in New York had recently left his old job at the AP as chief correspondent to the White House. The guy who lived downstairs was retired, but had run a machine shop, and collected crazy old radios.

It's probably even less effort to convert to SaferCPlusPlus[1] (essentially a memory-safe subset of C++). There's even an tool[2] (under construction, but functional) to do a lot of the conversion for you.

Bad idea, I've got plenty of crypto, but I wouldn't pay a percentage of it for a company to get me liquidity to use it as a card.

Just sell some and get a normal card. It's a bad money-wise decision for now.

When they start to settle transactions for the same pricing they do for normal CCs, with the same monthly fee, it's worth it, otherwise, bad idea.

This is like travelling to a country and using your CC everywhere, when you could get a better currency exchange rate by not using it and just getting some fiat. If you gonna take those kind of decisions, why invest in crypto at all?

I know that some people gonna hate this, perhaps because they do got cards or they are the companies which make money doing that.
in the end the idea is that if you are semantic aware, then everything is safe; it's just operations from exp -> env -> store to env -> store etc etc
In fairness, Joel Spolsky has done a lot of great work as a founder - founding Stack Exchange being the most notable — but is any of his personal work open source? We don’t know how well written his code is. Twitter is successful but their code has reputation for being horrible.
Referring to its first demo? Really, the engineers were asking for that… "glitch":

1) Failed to test Ed209 on demo conditions (medium sized meeting room).

2) Failed to anticipate the failure of the sound recognition algorithm (gun on on carpet instead of gun on concrete).

3) Failed to implement software failsafes for the demo: a layer on the motor system so it never touches anything (especially moving things such as humans), a weapons system that doesn't actually fire…

4) Failed to implement a proper shut down button, such as a physical plug one could pull from behind.

5) Loaded the damn thing with live ammo.

> Even if he has [harassed someone], that doesn't invalidate anything he's saying

I just don't think there is ever a good reason.

He does have a tendency to say things about a person suggesting they are ignorant or stupid when they ask a question he doesn't like. There often seems to be a fine line between him getting annoyed and him belittling the contribution someone else makes to a discussion. He is extremely sensitive.

I just think if someone is going to seriously discuss how to be more emotionally stable, they should probably demonstrate more stable behavior themselves.
I agree. Once we passed the 640k mark it all became an excuse for lazy tool development.
> Doesn't that assume that profit maximization is the ultimate and only goal of every restaurant owner?

It is. Every single restaurant owner wants to make the maximum amount of money. That's why they open restaurants and don't go to community centers to feed less fortunate for free ( or for price below the cost )

> Perhaps it is, I'm not familiar with San Francisco restaurants. But some might simply enjoy being able to offer excellent food at a comparatively low price simply because all their business, personal, and employee needs are met and rising prices could be detrimental to that balance. For example, if you enjoy seeing low-income families from your local neighbourhood eat at your place because you are affordable (not to mention healthy and delicious), then raising prices would drive them out, and you might be sad and disappointed, for whatever personal reason (i.e., your personal needs are no longer being met as neatly as before).

In that case they have a hobby they can practice in community centers and dare I say churches.
There is a lot to it, but people still need to find ways to make corporate development work better. Torvalds et al, while great, can't offer a lot to help here. (Except indirectly by producing a good foundation to build upon, like Linux.)

Depends heavily on the projected utilization. If you know your compute node is going to be computing for the next 3 years with at least medium utilization, then the self hosted metal is probably going to be quite a bit cheaper.

Its amazing how much hardware you can pack into a single machine for 10k€. Last year our group bought two additional high-memory (768GB) nodes for around that price each (including support for a couple years from the vendor).

A few years before we bought 40 nodes with 128GB RAM each, for a similar price to last years high-memory nodes (and a fast interconnect and a lot of storage).

If you are at a larger research institution, you probably also have an IT department that can co-locate your hardware for next to nothing (compared to cloud). There you also will save a lot of ingress/egress, storage, backup, etc. costs.

Regarding the per student costs, even with cloud instances I would consider running a traditional HPC job system (grid engine, lsf, torque, ...). The MIT had a nice solution with Starcluster [1] to easily deploy a SGE on AWS. It looks a bit dead now though.

I hope you’re being sarcastic! I was “spoiled” going in, but if anything it strengthens the novel’s undercurrent of dread & enhances the contrast between the importance imbued by the children into their prosaic struggles and the unfathomable horror of their ultimate fate.

The premise is really just the launching point for what the book is about. It’s not explored in at all the manner you’d expect from a typical “dystopian sci-fi” novel.
Many people rebind caps lock (or another easy to reach key) with escape. This way they can quickly change modes.

Also, most beginners use insert mode too much. If you find yourself going into insert mode just to change a letter or word, try learning shortcuts instead (r for replace, ciw for replace word, diw for delete word, and other neat command combinations).
> Here's the simple truth: there should be no such thing as an excellent, inexpensive restaurant for more than a flash in a pan.

It's incredible that you can state this even with tons of evidence to the contrary. You may want to rethink your assumptions or understanding of other people's thinking and motivations.

Defects in code do indeed come from sloppiness. Of course, real people are sloppy sometimes. So real systems need resilience in depth to help resist system effects from localized sloppiness.

The same set of arguments applies to security. The last few years of history teach us that nobody, not even state actors with deep pockets, can keep secrets forever. Don't we need to change our thinking about that, and make it so security breaches aren't uniformly disastrous? It's all about resilient SYSTEMS dealing with localized sloppiness.
