Remote working is a lot harder on the psyche than most people think (before they do it ;-) ). Especially if you've done 1 or 2 days a week remote for a while (which IMHO is an optimal way to work), you start to think that working remote full time is going to be all sorts of amazing with no drawbacks. This is my second stint (first one I did for about 18 months, this one is 3 years this week). I'm definitely happier doing the remote thing now, but there are days/weeks/months where I would kill to go into the office (too bad it would cost me about $5K to get there...)

BTW, I've heard that there are bacteria that live on your skin that keep it relatively in good shape if you don't wash. It lives on the oils and urea that you excrete. When you wash frequently, the bacteria doesn't have a chance to sustain a healthy colony, so you end up greasy/stinky. Apparently still better to wash, but not nearly as horrible not washing as people assume (eventually).

Apps are also written / optimized for much newer hardware.
Reputation is also a force in onion land. There are hidden services that are trusted and those that aren't.

You see it with the drug marketplaces - users self-organize a distributed reputation system that tells other users which sites can be trusted with bitcoin and drug transactions and which cannot.

It's a remarkably well functioning and resilient system - and its hosted across reddit, forums, blogs, etc.

I had no idea that automatic climate control (i.e. user just sets the target temperature) dates back to 1970, because it was not a standard option for low/mid-price cars yet in 90s (at least in Finland). Heck, my parents bought a Toyota Corolla in 2003 with no automatic climate control. Fascinating to see it implemented with old-style analogous controls. Same for 6-way power seat.

Only visited a few times. Traditionally I hear it's fish and miso. There is also what seems to be french pastry places where half of them are filled with custard. When I was there we went to the pastry places, but after a few days became too much.

We tried to check out a few artisanal donut places around Tokyo since I heard they were a new thing (at the time). Most seemed to be open very at odd times (I can't remember, but maybe from like 1-3pm?). We stumbled onto a Krispy Kreme and were surprised they offered a donut served with ice cream on top. I guess it was seen more as a dessert than breakfast?

Something I've always wondered, but really haven't dug too deep into is, did these clones do any tricks that would be considered better than what they were based on? That goes with the clone CPUs also. Did they have any undocumented features, that would make it "better"?
Professional associations do have codes of ethics and ethics-focused committees and societies, but they don't seem to do a very good job of publicizing them, because I see comments like yours here with some regularity. Heck, I have been a member of IEEE since 1997 and yet I only learned of their Society on the Social Implications of Technology a few years ago. The Order of the Engineer, which is entirely focused on professional ethics, seems to be equally unknown.
But without representation and legal advice such 'small courts' often rule on the side of money. Even before such a hearing can take place the employee can be subject to pressure and bullying and without representation in disciplinary meetings and the like they often end up quitting, or accepting treatment/warnings/disciplinary action they do not deserve. Without a union it will always be a David and Goliath story, but with a much more realistic ending.

I use PHP/Laravel for most of web development and Python for automation, scraping and data analysis. Things I do on day-day basis are:

- Data Scraping

- Bot development for different websites and workflow (I am working on a Crypto bot for self which is implementing different trading strategies) and other things.

- Web development in Laravel or Django/Flask.

Beside that, if you are a startup then I can provide consultancy regarding system architecture and traffic building.

Product Manager for the MySQL server here.

w.r.t. tx_isolation:

In MySQL 8.0, it is called transaction_isolation which is the name used by configuration files. MySQL 5.7 supports both names, but now warns when using the old name.

Supporting old+new names is required to support distributed apps which may upgrade a shard at a time (i.e. you want your code to work on both MySQL 5.7 and 8.0). But there is a deprecation warning to let you know which version is preferred.

Calling it an incompatible change is perhaps a little strong. The idea behind the deprecation warning is to give you as much notice as possible.

Ask HN: Research Scholarship (Find and Seek)
Let's say I'd like to offer a research scholarship for open source development in the area of distributed networking. Or ____ insert buzzword here.

Is there a site where people make these types of offers and interview candidates? Do viable candidates have any interest in being funded to do open source work in the first place?

It was just an idea I had that I thought would be really fun to do. I'm thinking on the order of $10k each to 3 or 4 people for doing different projects would be a very fun way to spark some ideas and have some fun. The key point here is this isn't hired work, IP is granted to public domain, and the researcher has total independence as long as work is being done.

Anyone up for this please feel free to propose an area of research and a dollar amount. Or even better, make a proposal in your area of expertise that you would like to be funded for! (Time and Dollar/Month)

Simple solution: just put 10x decoders/tuners for most recently used channels. I don't think it's really an engineering problem but more about cost-effectiviness, i.e. not enough consumers are willing to pay the premium.
The right against self-incrimination enshrines a personal right that developed under English Common Law in response to Star Chamber inquisitions. It's not about oppressive governments, per se, but rather a belief that it's immoral to put someone under oath (to God) and pit himself against himself--tell the truth and face death, or lie and face eternal damnation. It's about as close to a human right as you could find in that age. Every lawyer at the constitutional convention would have been well aware of it, as at that time there weren't too many such unequivocal rights. See, e.g., http://apps.americanbar.org/abastore/products/books/abstract...

The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments were basically lifted directly from established English legislative and common law. That Americans were regularly denied the benefit of these laws was one of the primary grievances of the colonies, so they basically just copy+pasted them into the Bill of Rights.

As for the 1st amendment, I'm sure you've noticed that it's worded in the negative, and that's because the Bill of Rights originally only applied to the federal government. States were free to oppress speech and enforce religious laws. And that they did, and few thought those states inherently oppressive. At the time it was thought that such laws restricting speech, enforcing a state religion, etc, if chosen democratically, were tolerable. Protection from the tyranny of the majority hadn't yet become the predominate way to understand these newly declared individual rights. Rather, what most concerned the convention members was that the federal government not have the power to interfere with the democratic balance struck at the state level. Nonetheless, the wording of various state constitutions make it clear that freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc were considered as much an individual right as any other.

It's useful to understand that our modern notion of free speech as one of our most inviolable rights is _very_ recent. Oddly, it's perhaps one of the most recent innovations in American constitutional law, succeeded only by criminal procedural rights like Miranda rights. Until circa 1930, when Brandeis and Holmes kicked-off a reconceptualization of free speech, the right to free speech was understood much as it's still understood in Europe--highly qualified and subject to reasonable, democratically chosen restrictions. Before the modern era, states regularly (and legally) jailed abolitionists, unionists, communists, and others, simply for speaking in public or passing out literature; and not because they lacked a license, but for the actual content of their speech.

> Nobody really cares that the timestamps are different when the builds started at different times of day, it is evident therefore that you will not produce bit-for-bit identical builds as long as your filesystem includes these kinds of metadata and details.

Do you think different timestamps is all that you need to worry about? How about the fact that some source tarballs that you depend on may have moved location? Or that your Dockerfile contains 'apt-get upgrade' but some upgraded package breaks your build whereas it did not before? Or that your Dockerfile curls some binary from the Internet but now that server uses an SSL cipher suite that is now incompatible with your OpenSSL version? All problems that I encountered.

Albacore was very maneuverable, probably more so than any large sub before or since. The term "hydrobatics" was used. Probably too maneuverable for a ship of that size, since it wasn't configured for operation with everybody strapped in.

Ok that makes sense now.
Depends on the context.

When maneuvering, you are watching obstacles and can see how much you need to turn to avoid them. So you give rudder orders. Your actual heading is only a secondary concern.

When navigating, you simply order the desired heading (for minutes, hours, or days). Then you focus on other things while the helmsman sweats the details.
Sure you can customize /etc/sudoers to your heart's content but that's not the point here. (btw, you can use group policy to enforce password at UAC prompt and limit users from system wide changes to Windows).

The point is about a secure & safe way for a common person to authorize an application that wants to make changes to the system and as the defaults stand, sudo prompting for password at every elevation attempt is worse off in my opinion.

I've got to be able to go through it at my own pace, rather than the pace dictated by the video/podcast.

The worst is anything that has terminal commands or code displayed in a video. Screenshots aren't much better, although at least they stay put without having to futz with the pause controls. Text - that is searchable and copy/pasteable - is king [1].

I can do podcasts and videos for other subjects; I've been loving Dan Carlin and the Great War youtube series. But technical stuff is too hard.

When discussing a thought experiment, it’s helpful to assume that you are in The Least Convenient Possible World[1]. In this case, the GP is considering a pill that actually provides any actual effect of exercising that you deem useful or important. In a world where we had such a pill, is having such simple solutions to problems, having to avoid things like learning self-discipline or commitment, too big a downside?

In this case your point that such a pill wouldn’t help with your joints being limber or sweating is a cop-out. It’s not actually addressing the point of the discussion, instead focusing on details irrelevant to the point of the thought experiment.

I’d say it’s the same reason why manual transmission vehicles are still more popular than automatic transmission in some countries. Automatic transmission of modern cars is easier (you can give more attention to the road than having to think about changing gears), gives a smoother ride, is more fuel efficient and causes less wear and tear on the engine.

It’s a habit that the organisation is used to, so there is resistance to change.

(I was born in one of those countries, and drove manual transmission for my first 10 years of driving, but am now a convert)

Income before tax: $13.9 billion

Income tax: $3.2 billion

So Apple's effective tax rate is 23%. Honestly that's better than I expected, but still less than it should be. Federal corporate income tax is 35% and California adds 8.84%. So there are other California companies which pay almost twice as much tax as Apple.

(Keep in mind that almost all of the value created by Apple is created in California. If Apple were to outsource all their sales and be a purely Californian company then it would make almost the same amount of pre-tax profit)
