> It is very difficult to automate, and very easy for humans to do.

Easier, but if you’ve spent time attempting to do it, you’ll agree it is not a trivial type of task by any means.

Judging the center of balance for awkwardly shaped furniture, while safely navigating the interior of a multi-level residence is not on my short list of “easy” tasks I’d sign up for on a regular basis.

In many ways, it’s a task that should benefit from automation in the future. Endurance, strength, precision, and the ability to precalculate the best available three-dimensional routes required to move a piece of furniture are all, individually, solved problems. Bringing them together with a form factor that can adapt to different environments — flooring material, stairs, etc. — and at a price point that encourages use is the challenge.

This is obviously my own anecdata, but up until about 2 years ago I smoked for close to 20 years. I've never once heard that B12 did anything to prevent cancer. No smoker I ever interacted with - and I interacted with thousands over the years I'm sure - has ever said or implied they took vitamins to offset their tobacco use.

If they are expecting me to _install_ something on my precious machine, they'd better be damn explicit what it is and what _exactly_ it does. I can see bits about this and that spread across their blog posts, but nothing cohesive and nothing on the home page itself.

All in all though - they appear to be wanting a real-time access to the browsing activity and its full history. That's, of course, an absolute NO regardless of how good the intentions are.

Windows now implements LEDBAT as well:

LEDBAT is similar but works on L7 instead of L4 and needs support on both ends. BBR is excellent. It's the first congestion control strategy to really focus on fairness rather than trying to send packets as fast as possible.

Combined with fq-CODEL, BBR finally offers a way to load balance traffic on your NAT without allowing someone to monopolize bandwidth

I really feel this way too. People talk about using FB groups or Twitter or some niche social network to be connected to a community, but I haven't felt that way in ages. Not since being active on a few phpbb and vbulletin boards. More connected in a way, but it feels so impersonal or I just can't figure out how people are finding their communities in these huge networks.

Another personal example, IG direct messages aren't used that much from my experience (could be different for others or in the odd one). That few times I've been hit up or hit someone up on it, response or messages back and forth usually take forever. It kills the conversation. The only time a conversation has survived and a friendship began was when the convo quickly moved over to another medium (FBM in that case).
Rankings do take into account the upvote and comment rates. Traffic on the site is pretty slow right now, so it’s not all that surprising for a recent article with relatively low vote count to appear on the front page.

To compare, the current number 2 has 11 points, and there’s another 5-vote submission lower down at 29.
People who refuse to do that are only hurting themselves.

If an employer passes on candidate for the wrong reason then the employer is hurt as well. A good hiring process shouldn't rule out people for reasons that aren't related to their capability to do what they'll need to do in the job, and very few jobs require a good github profile. It's a useful proxy for development ability and passion, but that's all. You can be an awesome developer and never touch Github.

There seems to be a weird inversion in the minds of many commenters here: that they are somehow entitled to dictate the terms under which they are selected to work somewhere.

Isn't the point that if you want the job, you do whatever it takes?

Why are we not celebrating the fact that we work in a kind of meritocracy where it really is possible to showcase your skills without any credentials or reference to your past?

All of this bloviating about "wasted time" in the context of demonstrating skills reeks of bitterness from lost opportunities to me.
This is an academic industry wide problem, not just for junior scientists. When tenured professors stay on their job for 40 or 50 years and new universities/positions aren't created each year for newly minded PhDs, it's going to create a pyramid like structure in academia with the comfortable professors at the top and legions of phds on the bottom struggling to get to the top.

Ask philosophy, history and even economics PhDs. The research/academic/etc opportunities simply aren't there because it is structurally impossible. And as time goes on, it's only going to get worse and worse.
Yes. Emacs has the wonderful property of one time investment in time and learning curve that pays off over years to do all sorts of code and non-code editing.

> The biggest power of a CEO is culture.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but it seems a bit simplistic. CEO's are also in the position to be thought leaders, public advocates, build hype, and internally, guide the company to specific results. Workplace culture is extremely important, but not everything.

Also, I'm not sure that enforcing unit tests is exactly a "cultural" issue. How many unit tests you write is a decision that weighs current development speed against future development speed and reliability. That is of course influenced by culture, but not exactly culture itself.
But if we are speculating on what sort of websites are blocked, that method would reduce the uncertainty. It might even lead to the uncovering of something scandalous, like the discovery of a website being blocked for revealing evil truths about the current government.
Good to know. Though it is still through an undocumented option and considered experimental.

But only one of them, Big K, defines the kilogram. So the ones losing mass might just gain mass more slowly than Big K. Or they might even all be losing mass but some more slowly than Big K making them apparently gain mass. I don't know if we know how the masses actually changed.

Also, developing big projects practically require tests. I haven't seen a large project without them. Not sure where you work, but if they are the first thing that is thrown out, there is something definitely wrong not just with the culture, but with the engineering.

In case an author reads this. I tried getting the data from one of the papers:

>"High-throughput sequencing data have been deposited in the
NCBI Sequence Read Archive database under accession code SRP119577"

https://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaap/ncurrent/full/nat...

It doesn't seem to work (but I haven't used SRA before):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/?term=SRP119577
>The “why” is not technical.

This is one of thr few essays about decentralization that understands that the problem isn't technical.

However, I'd go further than his explanations of incentives and say that the fundamental problem is that decentralized technical protocols do not solve the centralization of how money is spent.

Examples of that misunderstanding:

- SMTP the protocol is decentralized (technical) and yet we have giant email providers GMail/Hotmail/Yahoo which is centralized (money).
The big providers spent $$$ on 1 gigabyte mail storage + backups + convenience. SMTP specifies how fields are laid out but it doesn't put money in everyone's bank account so they can run residential SMTP servers so the email ecosystem stays decentralized.

- Git the protocol is decentralized (technical) but Github the service is centralized (money). Why? Because Git the technical protocol is not a bank fund that gives every programmer a free $10 VPS account to host their own git repo. The centralization of money spent (Github invests in a datacenter but individual programmers do not) results in centralization.

- Bitcoin protocol is decentralized (technical) and yet the phenomenon of giant China "mining pools" emerges which is centralization (money). The ability to spend money on liquid cooled ASIC chips in a datacenter located near the Artic Circle is "centralized" to the entities that can spend that vast amount of money. The exceeds the ability for the home enthusiasts to compute hashes on a spare computer in their bedroom.

The common theme: technical protocols can be decentralized but the real-world implementation of those protocols end up centralized because physical things like cpus, harddrives, network bandwidth, etc cost money.

This pattern of decentralized technical protocols vs centralized economic behavior is ignored by virtually all decentralization enthusiasts.

So the real puzzle to decentralization is, "How do we _decentralize economic behavior_ when everybody doesn't have the same amount of money to spend?" Nobody I've read about so far has figured that out . That includes Sandstorm/IPFS/Filecoin/Mastadon/Diaspora/Ethereum etc.
I think work hours and salary have a bimodal distribution, driven by tenured / non-tenured status. My experience is in theoretical math/physics -- I got my PhD but decided not to stay in academia; there are pros and cons to both options.

IME most tenured professors have to work significantly less than others for the same salary (those who work more mostly do it because they like working with grad students, not because they get financial benefits for it). Quality of life is good, good benefits, few and flexible work hours, sabbaticals, etc. Salary is lower than at the top of the industry, but sufficient for a comfortable life. Those who do good research can escape for the summer to interesting parts of the world to summer schools and visiting colleagues using grant money.

However, non-tenured professors have it much harder. And postdocs are usually the underclass.
"When you become a tenured professor, the amount of work you do is far less than the vast majority of other jobs with a similar salary. The only real commitments are the classes you have to teach."

I doubt this is true for the United States, but it is definitely false for many European countries. Tenure gives you job security, but it also brings an enormous amount of administrative obligations. In my experience, conversations with tenured faculty tend to revolve around how much they hate the endless bullshit meetings they are required to attend, the long many-page forms they have to constantly fill out for uni administration, and how it has really eaten into their time for research or family life.
I honestly feel more at home commenting here than on FB. On FB, you're speaking to everyone that you know, and whatever you say will likely show up in their face. I don't want to be talking to my college buddies, great aunts, and girlfriend's friends at the same time.

It is interesting that B12 in sufficient quantities is actually made by bacteria in the gut, but as it is not absorbed there (only small intestine can absorb that) it became a waste. It is probably one of the reasons that animals like dogs or gorillas eat their feces.

s/You can do it from anywhere/You can do it from anywhere you have an Internet connection and a local terminal with the correct setup/

If you already take the local terminal around with you, then there's really no benefit to "You can do it from anywhere" as that's 1) not true, you need an Internet connection, and 2) you can do the same thing, even offline, with a halfway decent laptop.

If you want to work from a terminal and log onto a server remotely to get stuff done, that's absolutely fine, each to their own! Just please don't paint it as better than having your local setup on a laptop, since it's not really. Apologies if you weren't saying that, but it came across as such.
There are plenty of ways to write fizzbuzz without the modulus operator, although it is the most obvious way. But you can also combine infinite streams, or keep track of the index of the next "fizz" and "buzz" with simple addition...
I think the point that the op was trying to make was that smoking may cause a B12 deficiency. Having a deficiency may lead to taking a supplement.
But you can apply it to TCP as well (only at a kernel/raw socket level), which Apple and Microsoft have already done, which makes it simple for software to use; Apple uses it to download o/s updates in the background.

Implementing it in the kernel also makes programs like “trickle” much easier.
I had hopes for the xbone kinect, but they seemed to stop making games for it when they unbundled it (which was before I bought into it).

Microsoft could have taken the outcry about the bundling 2 ways:

1) Make the Kinect awesome with awesome software, and make those people wish they had gotten it bundled.

2) Fall on their sword and assume that when people don't want to be _forced_ into something is also means that they don't want to choose it ever.

They obviously chose option 2, but I think option 1 would have served them better.
Most of this is due to satellites being in geosynchronous orbit, which is ~40,000km away. This trend will likely slow or even reverse a bit once the big LEO constellations are launched (some are being launched at ~400km altitude).

25ms local ping times (eventually 10ms as the 340km altitude constellations launch) near-term and long-distance pings actually better than fiber. And with enough throughput to actually make a difference vs fiber.

I couldn't say for certain, not being a fish farmer, but using hybrids is common in agriculture. You'll maintain multiple germ lines and cross them to produce more desirable offspring which either don't breed true or aren't viable adults or are infertile. Happens with chickens, corn, mules.

Edit: just read other reply; yup, not a fish farmer.

Isn't GitHub just ranking by number of commits? That's not a very good measure of contribution. After all, I don't think tensorflow-gardener is the primary contributor of Tensorflow.
I immediately checked my multivitamins that I take after every workout during work week (cca 4x/week). It contains practically all vitamins (100% RDA), plus around 15 minerals (30% RDA). I take 1/2 of tablet on any of those days, after lunch (so absorption with fats is +- ideal).

For B12 it says RDA is 2.5 micrograms, so getting cca 1.25 micrograms.

It is ridiculous to continuously heavily overdose oneself on various supplements and expect nothing will come out of it. Of course it is harmful, although cancer part surprised me (I would expect rather impaired liver, heart or similar effect).
We might also include engine component suppliers, such as Speed Tree, Physix, and (whoever makes) Bink Video.

My understanding from a talk at Ignite 2017 is that certain OS functionality (like some Windows Updates) use it, and that it would get more official support later...but nothing I can find yet, so as you say for the developer it's still an undocumented 'experimental' feature.

I like the logo :- ) & the website seems easy to understand. The unique selling point, is that the links will only work for one's team, right?

I'm thinking someone can use Googles URL shortener instead, and share the resulting links within the team only — that'd give the same effect?

If the destination page is truly secret, then the company ought to have other access control features anyway I think.

I'd be worried that you go out of business soon and all links will break.

You can get more feedback here: https://usability.testing.exchange (it's a free & open source side project I'm doing). You can edit the question text and ask for feedback about the overall idea, and what other features people might want.

Book tips: http://www.startupwerkboek.nl/startupcenter/Momtest.pdf (the first parts are free & the most important ones). This book helps you find out, before you start writing code, if the underlying idea is something people want / need. (People, including I, sometimes do the mistake to start writing code, too early, before they know if the underlying idea is a good idea.)

Anyway I wish you good luck with this, and sometimes in the end everyting turns out to have been a good idea (even if the project didn't take off), just because of everything one learned, whilst doing it :- )

Strange. We have 5 IQAir HealthPro 250 machines in our apartment, and none of them have ever emitted a rattling sound, even though we use most of the settings (going all the way up to 6 only on the most polluted days).

EDIT: Yes, the filters are expensive. We've started using aftermarket ones, which look cosmetically a bit different but seem to have the same core materials. Still expensive, but I like the machines due to the airflow/noise ratio. Cheaper ones I've tried are all to noisy if you put them on a high enough speed to be useful.

I will mourn the loss of the federated open system we call email, and perhaps you're right - it may never go away. But the younger generation doesn't stay young forever.
