Let's say you have a reasonably well-paying remote job and you could live anywhere. Let's also say you're married and have children. Do you want them to go to good schools? Do you want them to receive quality healthcare that does not break the bank? Do you want to use convenient services like Uber/Lyft when the need arises? Do you want access to a network of professionals that can help you grow your career?

If you answered yes to these questions, you're not going to find many places rural America that satisfy your needs. At best you'll end up in an outer-exurbia like greater Atlanta.

I don't think remote work of a few well-paid professionals is a viable and sustainable solution for rural America.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I said, basically, gameplay trumps visuals. You are in agreement that gameplay trumps visuals. If gameplay and visuals are at odds, gameplay should win. Minecraft's contrast is boosted and its colors are not accurate, and this all adds to its charm. This is in dispute of the article, which is taking the stance that tone mapping and colors should be tuned to look like a painting or film, rather than aspects that can influence gameplay.

I spent 4 years at my tech job in rural Virginia. Internet there was faster, cheaper, and more reliable than it has been in San Diego, where I am now. I had lots of friends there, it was always fun to enjoy the outdoors with them.

So it can help, but you eventually feel like a fish out of water when nearly nobody you know understands what it is you do. I feel like we'll get there one day in the USA, paying under $1000 for rent for a comfortable home is a lifestyle I wish i could see more technical people adopt.
Somewhat amazed that this stuff _still_ isn't properly sorted out given that I was working on applications with a keen interest in the problem in 1996!!

NT's IO Completion Ports implemented some kind of CPU-balanced work delivery mechanism from the beginning, presumably inspired by Cutler's previous work on VMS's $QIO. AIX afaik also had something similar. Linux not so much...but in the intervening 20 years I had assumed epoll() was fixing this.
I'd argue that's basically what Uber is trying to do.
I thought it was a bit sketchy you linked to an article about an article, instead of the directly linking to the article itself.

> A few of the packets were infested with mold, but that didn't bother me; I was a beta tester after all, and the packaging hadn't been finalized yet. It'd gotten punctured en route somehow, and moisture had got in—which did highlight its vulnerability to mold, an important point given that Rob touts its non-spoiling benefits as a solution to sending nutritious food to far-flung places.

So, while they were developing their product, in beta stage a few packets got moldy? That's what beta is for! Finding these issues, then resolving them.

Kinda funny reading the original article clears all this up, unlike the propaganda piece you posted.
I can appreciate the core of what he’s trying to do.

Autonomous vehicles can bring about a lot of good. They can also bring about massive consolidation of work and wealth in the hands of the few fleet owners that will inevitably emerge.

A society in which driving, one of the principal means of employment, no longer exists, is going to suffer a long list of negative externalities that the proponents never take into account.

A better solution would be to encourage the growth of autonomous vehicles but create an environment in which the ownership of said vehicles is largely distributed.
The speculator buys property because they expect it to go up in value; the rent is just covering part of their costs. For instance, if you have an "investment" property, but the rent doesn't cover the interest component of the mortgage, but you think that's okay because you expect it to go up in value, you're a speculator, not an investor.
Corruption needs to be tackled from the top down. When the leaders don't, or can't, corrupt, it is much less likely the subordinates will be very corrupt.

To handle low-level corruption, they are developing the social credit system [1], which is a kind of national reputation system. It is negative for individual freedom but might be deemed necessary for rampant corruption practices in many businesses and government units there.

Right, and this specific type of clover is slow growing also.
Using RPOPLPUSH there's no guarantee you won't lose the job if the Redis server crashes prior to publishing it. Even with persistence enabled (AOF) there's still a small window of time between receiving the message and the next AOF fsync. The sender would think the message is queued as it got an OK response back but the message will be lost.

There are three common solutions to this:

First is to pretend it doesn't exist (quite common!).

Second is to understand that losing messages is a possibility and only use it for message types that the loss of a message wouldn't be critical (which covers quite a bit).

The third solution, which actually addresses the problem, separates the persistence of message details to transactional store from the event notification of a new message. A "sweeper" type task can thing check the persisted message list for messages that haven't been processed and re-publish them.

(Disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of Redis and think it's the bee's knees of data structure servers.)
> I'd much rather have a healthy core system

Google is aiming for a wider audience now and not only for techies. The average Joe and Jane don't give a damn about a healthy core system, that's not a selling point for them. They'll play with the phone and say "WTF? Google's clock app sucks!" or "Can't find anything in these settings" and will walk away. In fact, a friend of mine working in a mobile devices shop told me those exact two examples. People were baffled what was the hype about the first Pixel (or Nexus 6P) and were like "meh, show me the Samsung / iPhone". It is what it is. Call them what you want, but good UX is good UX.

Pixel is not an improved Nexus. It has aspirations for audience as wide as iPhone's and Google's marketing efforts prove it, IMO. It's time for Google's UX team to grow up and stop thinking like a bunch of nerds patting themselves on the back in the dorm room. This phase of Android development is over and won't ever come back.

> If you still need microSD for some reason great, but honestly with 128gb phones I can't say I have any use for it.

I personally agree, plus UFS 2.0 internal storage can put some laptop SSDs to shame. I am actually quite happy with a 128GB UFS 2.0 storage Android (Mi 6). I kept hearing in the past that the microSD controller introduces slowdowns in the overall system -- don't ask me how, I don't know.

Still, I knew people who claimed they needed the feature daily. I just don't see why the choice must be taken away if it didn't do any damage (if it did indeed slow down the kernel in some way then I can see a case against it though).

And why was the headphone jack removed? The device doesn't even have IP67 rating. My former S7 Edge survived falls in 5cm deep potholes full of water with its headphone jack wide open.

Dunno, man. It seems to me like Google is trying to emulate Apple and is doing a bad job at it.

"Healthy core system" and "apps for every possible quality of life improvement" aren't mutually exclusive ideas. I've heard many people pull out the "bloatware" card which is just laughable. Yeah, 0.5 - 3.0 more GB on a 128GB is bloatware... sure! Some imaginary concept of "pure OS" which never really happened and is still not happening, having in mind all the AI-related benefits Google is pitching for the Pixels.
I would agree, and I think a fine of this magnitude seems appropriate. "Buyer beware" is not a good excuse. In dream world where people have infinite time to parse fine print, it maybe could work. But in the real world, there is tremendous information asymmetry at play. A school should be focused on how to present information in a way that can be readily understood.

There is a large ecosystems of tools, frameworks, and companies that make it easier to run Kubernetes outside of GKE, but for users (like myself) that would rather just pay a cloud platform to handle all the work, this is great step forward.

Fair, and I will :-) Thanks for your response. Are you married to RocksDB/instance storage, or are you considering adapters or something to a pluggable persistence layer?
> Nobody says that Soylent is the only thing a person is permitted to eat.

It has been marketed as a sole source of nutrition, and every conversation about Soylent on HN has people claiming it can be used as a sole source of nutrition.
I'd probably pick a smallish (sub-250k population) city, I think. The kind that rural folks mean when they say they're going to The City to shop. Maybe a "university town". Beats exurbs or ultra-pricey real cities. The trick is finding one small enough that you aren't stuck with shitty schools if you want to live in the city core.
Yes, I fully agree, that's why I started my post with "you're right".
Unfortunately you're correct - these use case scenarios do not work with any emulation.
> I'm curious, is this apparent issue of outdated cert bundles also a problem outside of the PHP ecosystem?

Yes, that is a problem that would exist outside of the PHP ecosystem. We provided a solution for it in our tool because we strive to be forward-thinking.

I'm not aware of any systems being breached because of stale cacert.pem files and the employment of rogue CA certificates, but that's probably due to the rarity of attackers having access to a rogue/compromised CA, and that attackers that do are unlikely to get caught very easily.

It may turn out to be the case that this has never happened before and won't happen in the immediate future, but if a bunch of CAs suddenly get hacked and their private keys are leaked on Pastebin, then this would of course change rapidly.

For these scenarios, I can only prescribe something like Expect-CT to force attackers to leave evidence of their attack behind. https://scotthelme.co.uk/a-new-security-header-expect-ct/
I am especially intrigued by the argument made by Nicholas Argall. In that the question of whether P = NP or not is incomplete in and of itself.[1] I think this is very true on the basis that not all of these problems are the same or present the same criteria to solve. I think understanding these problems is going to require thinking from a different depth though. It's fun to me to think about and try to wrap my head around. I'm no expert but have a lot of fun with it.

You don't even need to hide anywhere. Since there is no regulations on pre-mines themselves, only ICOs, you could do a pre-mine in the US and be 100% fine as long as you paid the capital gains tax.

A big thing for me is the difference between offline and online speech recognition. This really ties in with the last point, advancements need to be efficient in order to be used.

I'm not sure how much work it would take to scale down Apple's voice recognition to run on the device or if it is feasible with their model, but currently it can take 5-10 seconds longer to get an answer from Siri during peak times.
There was one journalist that found rats in the kitchen, during the beta phase of soylent. Presumably when they hit production they used standard manufacturing techniques.

The mold is unfortunate, but only with Soylent 2.0, the pre-made bottles. As soon as they found out they issued a recall, like any responsible company.

> Heh I know it's technically possible

it's not merely "technically possible". I've had this actually happen to me, and I'm sure others have too.
this whole topic is because of political considerations and if you just look around you will see nearly all members coming from the same party parroting the same lines. throw in lots of google money which was the basis for a story recently bemoaning Amazon's influence and you can see its all for naught.

there is lot of movement by said members in Congress to invoke antitrust by drowning people in buzzwords and FUD. If anything the larger American based companies brought up as issues themselves face even greater competition from overseas. What we have to fear besides even more regulation on our own industries is having it turn into a trade war when overseas entities not burdened by the same restrictions start to compete.

The Butterfly War describes a theory of meta data warfare that forces a predator to change its behavior and target people it's been trained not to target.

In this case, the connection between Silicon Valley and national security apparatuses are so hypervigilant, everyone in the anaylsis pipeline accepted the meta data that arrested this guy to be sufficient.

Checking if an ear is affected by earwax / infection / foreign body can be carried out by a nurse, who doesn't need nearly as much education. This is besides the fact that audiologists don't typically deal with earwax / infections / foreign bodies anyway, and typically refer to an ENT anyway. Even after regulation which only permits the sale of the physical equipment which would pair with your smartphone after a prescription from an ENT who sees no sign of other problems, it would still drastically reduce costs for the end consumer, who would never need to set foot in an audiology office.

Voice assistants, hm. Knowing Google and Amazon and having in mind their history, I won't trust them not eavesdropping on me and my wife having sex, ever.

I do care about privacy. Google and Amazon care about data collection and ad dollars. They'll do absolutely anything to get those, including stuff we find amoral. Most businesses are like this: "it ain't illegal if you don't get caught". Please deny it! ;) I think we all know it's true. History has shown it time and again.

Simple math, really. I am not losing anything in my life if I spend 20 seconds typing a query in a browser. I don't need to order goods with my voice. Voice assistants have a few good uses but in 90% of the time they are a solution looking for a problem.

I get that some folks feel special and living in the future but that's hardly worth giving up your privacy at your own home.

As you said -- personal priorities.

Nice, I always wondered how CQRS/ES would mix with GraphQL.

GraphQL seemed to me like REST in good, but I had the impression that CQRS/ES was better suited for RPC like APIs, because they could capture the Events/Actions more naturally than the limited amount of Verbs in REST or Query/Mutation in GraphQL.
In that case, why is it any better than just ordering some takeaway?

std::map is a red-black tree. It will have among the worst cache coherence of anything. Do you have any supporting benchmarks?

And if you have a small enough data set then std::vector will run circles around any map anyway.

TOP 5 VIDEO EDITING APP FOR ANDroid | 2017
Do you have any sources for how important fiber is? I usually eat keto, and when I tried adding fiber to my diet I got stomach cramps, felt like I was hungry all the time (which never happens), and grew extremely irritable. Over the next few days I had two or three massive, green bowel movements, which was also unusual since I generally only go twice a week. Previous times I've tried taking some psyllium husk and even that seemed to lead to hunger pangs and bowel movements.

I'm always interested in improving my health, so I'll definitely try it again, perhaps more scientifically this time. That said, I don't want to struggle through the annoying symptoms if it turns out that fiber doesn't do anything.

Yeah, but when you sell them to the public, you can't stop people from driving into other states or areas where conditions are less favorable; which I think is relevant and applicable to their original argument that actually having self-driving cars out in the market is further out than what the industry is saying.

But yeah, in relation to the Early Rider program, that's probably one of the reasons you must apply. They were asked what they thought of the program, and my interpretation of their response (not putting words in their mouth, but as I understood it) would be along the lines of, "Must be a controlled trial, since their technology is likely far from being able to handle anything outside of favorable environments."
It is an interesting solution to a problem that hasn't really affected many.

The bigger issue is one should not automatically trust packages and should audit each before using because chances are the attack vector in the source is a bigger target than a man in the middle attack.
I would pay at least 10$ for an app that made an aesthetically-pleasing HTML flow of any pdf document I’m looking at. At least. And I can’t imagine I’d be the only one. So much of my reading is on-screen now, and PDFs do kind of suck for two column reading.
Who is being prevented from teaching? I taught high school with 5 weeks of training (Teach For America). I was provisionally licensed to teach under an emergency certification, which simply required that I be in training concurrently for a permanent certification. Every state is different, of course, but I don't know of a state where this legal framework doesn't exist. Teach For America places teachers in most states under this model.

Five weeks is not enough prep for most teachers. I know many awesome teachers for whom it worked out very well. For me, it didn't. But Teach For America is extremely selective in trying to identify people who will be successful with minimal training. That's what it takes to roughly match the performance of traditionally trained teachers. I don't think we need lower barriers to entry, especially without a similar level of accountability.
You remind me of me several years ago. I had a life coach at the time and he introduced me to financial discipline, in the particular form of Dave Ramsey and his debt snowball. We paid $47k of debt off in two years, and things have only improved since. We're saving to do a $30k kitchen renovation, something that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Two years seems like a long time, but the time will pass anyway. How would you feel to be debt free at the end of it? Something to think about.
