But do they want to build that ecosystem from scratch? My amazonian friends imply that while it's easy to get applicants, they have as much trouble finding the people they want as anyone else in their current tech saturated area.

If Amazon moves to Podunksville, it will "work". Given that they're looking for deals, it will almost certainly be successful as far as "does the office function, is it a net positive to our productivity". But what is already at their new location will definitely impact what happens for the first few years as the local economy shifts. Pulling in 90% of their workforce from remote with a tiny hub airport that has only 2 non-stop destinations is very different from pulling 50% of their workforce from remote with an international airport with non-stop flights to most major cities. The reverse effects are true as well - getting people in where the local cost of living makes every dollar worth $1.20 grants a benefit vs a local cost of living giving you $0.90 spending power per dollar.

Heck - Moving to Seattle was wonderful for my wife and I in lots of tiny ways: People aren't confused when asked about vegetarian options, assuming it's not already clear on the menu. Our various hobbies and entertainments are well represented (Heck, I play tabletop RPGs and a good chunk of the major companies are actually _here_) It'd take a notable bit more to get me to go to somewhere where eating out is a chore, where I have to deal with the 5 local adults willing to play a "game" regularly and have to put up with their quirks because I have no other options, where I have to deal with religious evangelism on a daily basis, where you have to drive everywhere, where the weather is extreme, etc.

This isn't a question of success vs failure, it's a question of how to maximize their success. And the success of the local area, including the current residents.
Why is depression thought to be an illness with the individual? I guess otherwise would mean facing our slavers.
Projectors are still "dumb", so if you have good curtains or typically don't use the TV when it's super bright it can be a great replacement -- I switched from a TV to a projector about 10 years ago and have never looked back :)

Hmm... I should make the cow tell me the weather.
the godmode feature is undocumented probably _because_ it's a terrible way to do shortcuts.
This would also have the added bonus that one could reload such pinned resources from anywhere once you got the pin. Even without TLS setup or having to trust certificate chains.

Caching proxies would suddenly become viable again because only the first download has to through HTTPS while "I don't have this in the local cache anymore, can you serve me this content" requests could go through sidechannels or outside the TLS handshake or something like that. Caches could even perform downgrade non-attacks.
It doesn't. AIUI jlink creates a binary image of the VM + referenced classes. AOT is a lot easier to do with modules implemented and I'm sure it's on the roadmap, but not available yet.

The Wayback backend is much simpler than one might imagine. The index lookup ("where is the data for this URL at this timestamp?") is called the CDX API and is pretty fast, given that it's basically looking up a line in a sorted many-terabyte text file. Slower are the processes that extract the original HTTP response from what is effectively a giant multi-GB tarball sitting on an archival-grade (not IOPS-optimized) spinning disk, and the code that parses HTML and/or javascript and re-writes "embed" URLs for playback. Another speed limit is that we serve everything from our datacenters in the bay area with no CDN for most content, which you'll really notice when connecting from outside North America.

The priority is to have as much data as accessible as possible, and for the same cost we can crawl and store far more web content on slow spinning disks than with SSDs or large RAM caches. Most RAM on storage nodes, which would otherwise be used as disk cache, gets used for derive tasks (like OCR or video conversion) or crawling/crunching tasks. That being said, if the service is so slow as to be unusable then there's no point operating it in the first place; hopefully we can get the latency a it lower.
While I agree with your analysis of the cultural purpose of this ritual, the lack of condemnation in the article doesn't make it a celebration.
I completely agree, I don't even understand how this is not clear to others. It looks like taking a dump in the proverbial punch bowl (whatever the rest of the debate was).
Why? Was the death of the suburb something that they should have foreseen? An irresponsible risk they chose to ignore?

If not, it is not more unfair than when health insurance uses the money of healthy people to pay for treatment of sick people. Or when the Federal Government uses the money of people who live in the mainland to pay for hurricane relief for people who live near the coast.
Meditation (at least mindfulness meditation) is meant to rid you of inner monologue though. It can be immensely helpful considering depression is often caused by constant negative thoughts.
That link is only showing the state of the gas tax fund, and shows none of the transfers from the general fund to prop up shortfalls.

Second, local roads (i.e. the majority) are mostly funded through the general fund of municipalities.

Sure, but visiting the URL itself gives no context and just throws you to the generic login page. Conversely, this makes for the sort of HN submission that can't be evaluated without logging in to the provider in question; and unlike a paywall it can't even be bypassed by workarounds.

There is a logged-out feature called 'Explore' [1] whose prominence on the GitHub frontpage has fluctuated with time; now it's prominent again. Both of these features showcase projects; one is curated by the company while the new 'Discover' is curated by an algorithm based on your activity. They appear to exist side-by-side without any linkage or references to the other.

I have a USB stick 4G modem and I automated the connection setup; it has a web app (starts a small embedded webserver when you plug it in) which I "reverse engineered" and I wrote a small script which makes HTTP requests so I don't need to go to the web interface, login, enter PIN code and click connect every single day multiple times. I just run "telekom connect" and that's it. What a time saver! :D
I'm the same way! I still love reading about others perspectives on doing things, motivating themselves, and getting what they want. I think it's helpful to hear different versions!
Using WebCrypto doesn't defend against the insecurity: their JavaScript code can send a copy of the file anywhere it likes. Mozilla can, if it wishes or if it is compelled to, deliver malicious JavaScript which does exactly that to a single targetted IP address, or just every once in awhile in order to find potentially interesting files.

Using in-web-page crypto gives users a false sense of security. This is, I believe, a very real problem.
Facebook. Although an open platform the goal here is to sell you advertisements. They can sell this platform much like a console. In ad revenue you could be worth the cost of the headset. They could give these things away if they wanted to own the VR gadget space forever.

By the way, I give a percentage of what I make away to women's charities because I know I'm lucky and I can use what I have to help people who have been through the same sexual abuse crimes I have.

Ok, fantastic.
How does it fare on iOS and Android?
I think the goal is not necessarily constant time, but more like do the same things independently from the bits of the secrets (symmetric keys, private keys, etc.). As a result, you get constant time.

But you get much more, because if one analyzes physical conditions (cpu/memory usage, temperature, time itself), he can't gather information about the secrets.
Santa Cruz includes the headset, because the headset does inside-out tracking of the controllers.
تحميل برنامج القفل AppLock لقفل الملفات والصور والفيديو للموبايل
It's great they are getting something out the door today at a lower price with lower barrier to entry and less complexity.

That said this doesn't seem to support tracked controllers and it's not clear if it would ever support tracked controllers. It's VR, but VR without tracked controllers is almost a different category.

Still when you look at what it replaces (GearVR) it's a huge step forward. You no longer need to tie up an expensive phone that's going to overheat and have no battery left. You get lenses and a display designed for VR and positional tracking where previously there was only rotation.

It's also interesting that they are messaging nothing about a next generation headset you can tether to a powerful computer or console. That's where my interest lies. I would be fine with even just a refresh of the Rift with a better display and lenses. I'm not even looking for a bump in resolution.
(Hi, author of the article)

The issue is, "how do you find these dependent modules?". As of right now, there is no way to find a module. It is not tied to a location in a subdirectory, nor is the name of a module tied to the file itself. I'm fine if we can get the dependency information, but how can we do that if there is no guarantee for finding the actual dependencies? Leaving these decisions unspecified by the C++ standard is dangerous. Having an important thing such as "how does the name of a module map to the name of the translation unit it contains?" be none of "undefined", "ill-formed", or "implementation defined" is asking for trouble. And to be quite honest, I don't see how running the compiler in a minimal parsing mode (once for each module), followed by running the compiler a second time for its full IFC (or whatever file format is used) and possible object file generation can be a good idea.
For Google voice, they redid the UI for mobile and web back in January 2017 (completely new look). So I wouldn't say voice is dying.

As for hangouts, they already announced the replacement for this. Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. Meet is already out there and Chat is in closed beta.
Ansible was designed to be server-less from the beginning. Are thinking of Chef or Puppet? Ansible Tower (which is the subject of this article) is a web application frontend for running Ansible.
If we're supposed to be happy all the time, why are there so many sad songs?

Seriously though it irritates me how people have been brainwashed to think depression is somehow abnormal.

Here's something I've learned in life: Depression exists for a reason.

There have been times in my life that I've been very depressed. Sometimes it was due to some event that happened but more often it was pretty random.

During these periods, I've often been very creative or it has done something else that I didn't immediately recognize as a benefit at the time. Yes, it was painful. But life isn't supposed to be all roses.

What I do think is wrong is taking (and getting hooked on) anti-depressants. A lot of my friends take them -- usually in response to a depression and now they've been taking them ever since. Unless you suffer from a very severe form of depression, I think anti-depressants do more harm over the long term than good, and many doctors of course want to keep their patients on them so it gives them an excuse to have an office visit. There's a lot of abuse, because there's a lot of money to be made trying to make people happy.

In my experience, anti-depressants do not make you happy. They make you numb, and (at least for me) they destroy your sex life. What kind of life is that?

I've come to the realization of acceptance. There's only so much I can control in my life, and that includes all the complicated chemicals swirling around in my head that are controlling my emotions. You start to realize that control and free-will is mostly illusionary, how you feel and what that does to you is more like a partnership with you and your body. There are of course things you can do but if your brain wants to make you depressed, you're going to be depressed and go through that experience. I don't think it wouldn't be as prevelant if it didn't serve some higher purpose, and I try to keep that in mind whenever I find myself depressed.
For infra/systems/devops engineers, Avoid - they screen you via a Codility test and they expect you to have a 100% score for it, with a 60min time limit for two lengthy problems. Anything below 100% is not enough.

Testing infra engineers for algorithms is plain stupid, completely irrelevant and a total waste of time as it does not translate as a test for any other infra specific skill one might have (problem solving / analysis / troubleshooting / systems design / et cetera).
8 Things Every New Programmer Should Know
Great list. I use a few of these on all projects.

Interestingly, django-webpack-loader has completely replaced django-compressor and all the other static bundlers. I like how configurable webpack is and how much control it gives you.

Anyone else completely switched over? Every single static file runs through webpack for me now, and I couldn't imagine ever going back.

Centripetal force is not truly gravity. This is useful because a station simulating gravity by spinning can still have areas that are isolated from this force (the center).

Can someone explain to me how they can make a device worth buying for $200? That seems incredibly cheap since the cost of decent VR systems are ~$500+ and that's without a machine to provide processing/GPU.
I got mine during the summer sale before they offered the all-in-one box. I got my HMD before I got my Touch controllers. Not having Touch was a huge limitation on the kinds of games I could use, and made the experience feel like a neato tech demo and not anything of substance.

You definitely don't want a Rift without Touch.
Ohh someone should do this for the pot holes in the Bay Area.
They also announced a new $400 permanent price for the Rift+Touch.

The alternative is not "nothing", but what he knows of the default distribution by law if he leaves no will. It's always dangerous to try to guess what's going on in people's heads.

> selling bonds that they can't pay back

That is not at all unique to PR.

It's a widespread problem in U.S. government. That's the reason the city of Detroit went bankrupt. Many, many government entities have liabilities, especially pensions, that they can't afford. Many companies have the same problem; it drove General Motors to bankruptcy. The federal government toys with bankruptcy each time Congress needs to authorize additional debt, and now the leading tax legislation will drive up debt considerably more.

But the overwhelming example is the Great Recession of 2008, which was due to the exact same problem, on a very wide scale, on Wall Street. In that case, the bonds (and other financial instruments) were based on fraudulent housing loans.

In most of the above cases, the taxpayers of the U.S. stepped in and rescued the debtors. Also, in the West, debtors prison is no longer considered a good thing - bankruptcy lets debtors recover. There's no reason PR shouldn't benefit from the same support.
I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past two months, and I've noticed less "down days", negative thoughts, and a more positive outlook on life in general.
Low end components. The experience is not going to be anywhere near that of a PC tethered Oculus and it's going to be more of what you find on Daydream/Gear VR.
The article went in a different direction from what I was expecting, but leaving aside J, the original motivation — the topic of writing programs by hand (I mean with pen/pencil on paper) is interesting to me.

The only person I know to regularly write even large programs by hand is Donald Knuth. This includes the early heroics of his college days ([1][2][3][4]). It includes TeX and METAFONT which he wrote in the 1980s over several months, before typing them in. (Corroborated right here on HN [5] by David Fuchs [6] who worked very closely with Knuth on TeX.) I'm pretty sure from looking at some his recent programs [7] that he still writes by hand.

Of course as a programmer Knuth is sui generis and has developed his own idiosyncratic style of programming over the decades, different from the rest of the world (consider his idea of Literate Programming). He thinks differently, tends towards monolithic rather than modular, and is always in book-author mode even when writing programs. He has some abilities and disciplines that more than make up for what some others would consider defects. What works for him may not work for others. Still, it would be interesting to hear of more people's experiences writing by hand.

A couple of months ago I wrote a small program in an assembly-like language for fun, and I felt that writing out the first couple of drafts by hand was quite helpful, and prevented me from jumping to an implementation too quickly.

I'm curious to know how usage of AWX affects your ability to maintain everything (inventory, roles, playbooks, etc.) in version control.

In college everyone's class registration would open at once, and classes would fill up quickly. Some people would even register for more than they were gonna take, to hold it for friends or just to figure their schedule out. If I didn't get into a class I wanted, I had a HTTPS script set to attempt registering for it every 5 minutes. As soon as somebody dropped it - boom it was mine.

There was a genetic survey done a bit ago that suggests that wolves and dogs are more remotely related. That domestic dogs existed as a separate wild dog species from wolves at the time of domestication.

Does that book talk about the phenomenon of baboons stealing puppies from wild dogs and raising them?

Every time we look at it we end up pushing back the date of human canine cohabitation. If it turns out that this coevolution with dogs predates hominids, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
Why is integrity such a concern these days? Obviously they're pretending to have integrity for PR reasons, as should be expected. You're just creating an environment where people learn to fake integrity.
