I've worked in a lot of different design roles and companies; from mom and pop print shops to social media (Facebook), tech (Cisco & Citrix), and e-commerce (Macy's & Charlotte Russe) giants. I bring a solid skill set to a team that allows me to adapt to any design related role. And not to pat myself on the back too much but every developer I've ever worked with has sang my praises. ;)

Drop me a line and let's talk about your design needs!
I'd recommend watching this [1] talk once the videos go online. It paints a pretty nasty picture of all the things you can screw up and still end up FIPS validated.

The default behavior of TF is to allocate as much GPU memory as possible for itself from the outset. There is an option (allow_growth) to only incrementally allocate memory but when I tried it recently it was broken. This means there aren't easy ways to figure out exactly how much memory TF is using (e.g. if you want to increase the batch size).

There is also per_process_gpu_memory_fraction, which limits Tensorflow to only allocate that fraction of each visible GPUs memory. It's still not great, but has been helpful in keeping resources free for models that do not need all the GPUs memory.
The Value of Optimizing for Resilience
Honest question: what about the potential of someone kidnapping two or more of these people and forcing them to give up their keys? What would the consequence of that be?
Its not the flatness, its lack of design. See for example, https://www.sail.com.au/, which is flat too, but with a cohesive design.
There's a difference in the language and the ecosystem around the language.
> Another elitist aside: I can usually tell that I won't want to use a tool when it has a mac os install option first under the downloads section on its page.

This is only because it's so much harder to support every possible Linux distro. I actually don't use macOS on my own, but 'Homebrew' seems like a really nice package manager. (Also, the first install option is via "cargo" which is platform independent.)
I think the problem is the difference of g between r and r-1.75 (the height of a human standing up).

Yes, maybe it doesn't apply to Java but I've been unable to setup projects on a new machine because library versions changed, external programs became hard to build themselves, some sw is impossible to find anymore (I remember a customer with a prehistoric MySQL, we had to find the oldest available bug compatible version and hope - they had no tests), etc.

A Vagrantfile or a Dockerfile are not enough. You need the actual images.

How New, Resilient Networks Change Data Center Design
You can. There's nothing stopping you adding ~/bin to $PATH. Many compilers allow you to specify the destination location either via a ./configure flag (for example) or an environmental variable. Or there is always the option of doing a `make build` and then manually copying the binaries into your ~/bin directory without doing a `make install`

You can also add ~/lib (for example) to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH path if you wanted to install custom libraries and even have your own man page path too.

All of this is already possibly on Linux and Unix however I'm not sure it's something you actively want to encourage as allowing users to install whatever they want on servers lowers the security to the level of the worst user on that server. If it was really deemed necessary that users should be able to install whatever they want then I'd sooner roll out a dedicated VM per user so at least their damage is self-contained (barring any visible networked infrastructure)
Source? I live in Fitzroy and while I’d agree that it’s generally woeful in Oz that seems a tad low. Experience at multiple rental properties puts it closer to 12/1.

I just got my FTTB NBN last week and I’m getting 94/34. I am over the moon, which will doubtless make some here chuckle. That’s an epic connection for Australia.

I used to run into this regularly as well, usually with gpg-agent refusing to work. I recently switched to a 4C Nano, which made it quite cumbersome to pull the key, so I looked into it and found out that reloading gpg-agent does the trick as well. I use this alias to do that quickly:

alias gpgpls='gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye'

I haven't needed to pull the key since. I'm on macOS and use gpg-agent, U2F and yubioath-desktop.
Judging by Norway where electrical cars are bought nowdays as a primary car people are sensitive to the extra 5000 USD that model 3 asks compared with Leaf. Surely model 3 is nicer, but better price/performance is meaningless if the price cannot be afforded. As for the range, even on eGolf from 2016 with its range of 200km I drove 500km through mountains and it took me about 15% longer due to the need for charging.
In case nobody noticed but the author of the blog and the record breaking rower also wrote the software to do the blogging. Very clever!!!

I liked the entry concerning Red Nose day:

"We are team 4 nations and one of us is English. He brought us all today a red nose because today is red nose day in England and you have to wear the thing all day so that you can't hardly breath during rowing but that's all ok because it is for charity! Colin explained us that today that they collect money to support poor English who don't have a penny left to buy enough booze to get drunk which results in a nice little red nose. As team 4 nations we support that kind of causes so to everybody out there who reaches this tune in this evening to the BBC and make your donation!"

I imagine banter on expeditions goes like this, it reminds me of some of Shackleton's journals and the things the men did for amusement.

I do think that one thing that is forgotten is how brave seafarers have to be. I get on the water to kayak the mile or two to work, just on the Thames which has to be the easiest water to be on. Nonetheless the terror of the water is real. If it is slightly too cold, too windy, too rainy or the tide is not right then I go by bicycle instead. Having read about 6 metre high waves, the mind boggles as to how Team 4 Nations coped. Congrats.

If this is indeed correct, there's no licensing BS, no control of what you can do with it like most free software. This is pure and simple public domain.

This list is so awful it must be parody, right?

Except this is a newer revised list. Here's an older version:

> 1. The password must be exactly 8 characters long.

> 2. It must contain at least one letter, one number, and one of the following special characters.

> 3. The only special characters allowed are: @ # $

> 4. A special character must not be located in the first or last position.

> 5. Two of the same characters sitting next to each other are considered to be a "set." No "sets" are allowed. Example: rr, tt

> 6. Avoid using names, such as your name, user ID, or the name of your company or employer.

> 7. Other words that cannot be used are Texas, child, and the months of the year.

> 8. A new password cannot be too similar to the previous password.

> 9. Example: previous password - abc#1234; unacceptable new password - acb$1243

> 10. Characters in the first, second, and third positions cannot be identical. (abc)

> 11. Characters in the second, third, and fourth positions cannot be identical. (bc#)

> 12. Characters in the sixth, seventh, and eighth positions cannot be identical. (*234)

> 13. The previous 8 passwords cannot be reused.

The CRUD api is based on JSONAPI.org standard to make use of their available clients (http://jsonapi.org/implementations/)

For the UI part, there are multiple things in place

1. First, upload via ZIP to one of the storage backends ( rclone is plugged in so storage backend could be anything from gdrive to local file system)

2. Grapes JS for UI drag and drop designer after you have uploaded (http://grapesjs.com)

3. A detailed authorisation framework to control entity level and row level access

4. Actions and Outcome chains with complete JS support to handle business logic (for example the signup/signin flow is a set of actions)

ps: earlier i used to call it "goms". recently renamed it to daptin. Also, not focusing on other parts of daptin to keep this short.
Ah well Norm Hardy (KeyKOS) is on team Mill; the Mill is very much a bunch of caps vets :)

The Mill isn't a Capability-based Addressing machine, but it is very much a machine that hopes to push normal programs and operating systems in the Capability Object Model direction with first-class support.

Now you are using a bugmenot login so I have no idea who you are, but if you're a caps vet we'd love to know your thoughts :)
Exactly. Funny how most people seem to completely forget that little detail of recent history.

Thank you for the feedback.

> So, I would suggest that you don't call this an alternative to find; it's not. A replacement for shell globs, sure. A replacement for poor file finding in text editors, OK. Just... not find.

It's literally called "a simple [..] alternative to find" and the very first sentence in the README says that "it does not seek to mirror all of find's powerful functionality". I'm not sure anymore how far I have to back off until everyone will be okay with my "advertising" :-)
Thanks that is a fantastic comment. I particuliarly appreciate the "These days, writing software is almost magic, meaning there is a whole 'chain of trust' that must be invoked".

Even as late as the 80" there were large business software like telecom switches (ITT's Metaconta or Alcatel's E10) that were written only in assembly. Those software had to be reliable.

> The FCC's decision freed other companies to build new, better instant-messaging apps without AOL standing in their way. And frankly, AIM wasn't able to keep up with them.

What am I missing here? The only other service I recall AIM having interoperability with was ICQ. I recall MSN Messgenger tried to integrate at one point but was blocked. What are these other better instant messaing apps that thrived? I seem to have missed them.
These machines aren't designed for foodies - they're designed to serve the rest of the populace that wants a decent, healthy meal at a reasonable price. That the machines try to appeal to foodies is just the side effects of marketing, in an attempt to provide some snob appeal to people who aren't true foodies.

There's always going to be a need for human food preparers, be they chef or cook, as foodies will seek unique experiences that cannot be provided in the large quantities that machines are designed to satisfy.

In short, don't worry about it.
All true. Also, since the glasses are better covered than the frames, vendors routinely offer to move the cost for the frames onto the glasses, so for example if you want a frame that costs €300 (!) but your insurance covers up to €200 for frames then they will charge €200 for the frame and an extra €50 for each glass.

This is completely illegal but every shop does it (suggests it without prompting from customers).

It's all insane but there seems no way to stop it.

Many online shops have started to appear but they too charge a lot (all reimbursed by public/private insurance). There doesn't seem to be really cheap options.

Actually they apply most of all when the other person is wrong, because otherwise you give people a good reason to dismiss your correction.
nullmailer is also a solution for this case where running a full mail server is an unnecessary complication. However, it doesn’t seem like this supports queuing which I think is a requirement for real SMTP support.
I tried this a while back, and the only thing I liked better than the mainstream browsers was that it doesn't waste space at the top of the browser and thus would theoretically be a good fit for e.g. watching something in a small window in the corner of your screen while doing work. But in practice, there is some crazy minimum window size limitation and thus it's useless for the only use case I would have for it.
As I write this, I am attending SILMO 2017 optical trade show in Paris. I've been attending for a few years and what you see when talking to industry participants is that there is real aversion to business models that can disrupt the industry to lower costs. Frame suppliers that sell to brick-and-mortar shops will very often refuse to sell to e-commerce players, for fear of alienating their brick and mortar accounts for example. Opticians will often refuse to disclose pupillary distance, as a way to prevent their customer from purchasing elsewhere. Many states/provinces/countries have pre-Internet laws on the books that effectively disallow selling online, and efforts to amend those laws to keep pace with technology are aggressively derailed by special interest groups.

As noted elsewhere in this discussion, it was expensive before. Independent opticians feel attacked on one side by e-commerce, and on the other side by Essilor/Luxottica, chains in general, and big-box stores The real issue may be that they can't see the value in changing how they have always worked or that even if individual opticians are open to change, they are stuck in a supply chain that may hold exactly the opposite view.

Does anyone know if the various brands of lens matters, e.g. Nikon v Hoya v Carl Zeiss...

I have pretty bad vision, -9.0 and astigmatism so the optometrist recommend I get 1.74 high index lenses from Nikon [1], because according to him, it would be "harder/more impact resistant" and the quality would be better.

I also got additional coatings, like anti-reflective, blue light, UV, etc...

So I'm just wondering, if the brand actually matters or are they also all made by a single large factory? Are Nikon lenses that much better than the generic ones from Warby Parker?

1. http://nikonlenswear.com/products/see-series/seecoat-plus
Well, working with Android will tell you one thing: Google is abysmally bad at designing APIs.
Depends on whether that efficiency is used for higher quality or higher feature count. For the firmer, I'd be pretty happy.

A HN comment set me looking for some blue-blockers for night driving: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14170975

My locally-owned sunglass shop stocks yellow blue blocker safety goggles that fit over my glasses. They turn obnoxious blue headlights green. I give them a 'blue headlight obnoxiousness reduction factor' of 85%.

The orange safety goggles ("uvex") I ordered from Amazon first were better (95%), but they block out too much green to be safe for night driving.

Hi, I might not find time for this at the moment, but I'll remember your service next time we need a new document.
waqf is right about the quote, and I don't think what you said about HN is at all fair. Nevertheless I took 'girly drink' out above because such phrases tend to act like sandpaper on the skin regardless of how many quotes they come wrapped in. Multiply that by the number of people who see HN's front page and the business about the quote gets lost. Maybe it shouldn't, but that's the effect and there's no gain in ignoring it.
I've found that many users of Wix and (shitty) Wordpress themes don't care, and are very happy to get a site for a fraction of the cost to get it made 'professionally' (or free, if they just do everything themselves).

I've also found that there's been a steady uptick in clients who are having some success with/through their site, and who suddenly do start caring, for all the reason that we are all aware of (performance affecting SEO, bad mobile experience, the 'visual page builder' not being able to do what they want, etc.).

While it's not always fun work, I do think there's a huge market there for 'people like us'.

I'm not sure what a good analogy would be in other businesses, but perhaps it's a bit like someone with a limited budget starting a cafe with IKEA furniture, finding success, and now having both the need and (some) means to actually buy furniture that can handle the demands of cafe use.

And that's not even considering the huge number of potential customers whose Wordpress site got hacked and who need a solution NOW.

What I like most about this situation is that it's not even entirely bad. Perhaps sometimes it does make sense to start a bar with IKEA furniture because the chance of success is so small. I honestly tell many potential clients to not bother paying me for a good, fast site because all they really need at this point is a decent-ish Wordpress theme or Wix/SquareSpace site.

EDIT: I'm not saying Wix specifically would be an option I would suggest to clients. My experience with it hasn't been too good, and I'm sure there's similar and better options.

I'd say as long as you avoid installing plugins without careful consideration, that's a pretty good choice. It's trivial to move your site to pretty much any crappy host, and if performance becomes an issue you could always 1) create cleaned-up custom theme version (shouldn't be too expensive) or pay someone for it, 2) add some form of caching.
