What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Ideological or political battle or talking points. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Something I'd like to see is a square sensor, so you can take horizontal video in portrait if you forget.

SEEKING WORK - Chicago or Remote

I'm a front-end UI web developer based in Chicago, Il., however I’m open to other technical roles (for example support) as well.

Note: Due to my current bandwidth, I can only provide 1 - 15 hours a week.

Skills: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES5 + ES6), jQuery, Angular (1.x + 2), Node.js, JSON, Adobe CS, Ruby on Rails, Twitter Bootstrap, SASS, LESS, Stylus and AJAX, UI Prototyping, Grunt, Webpack, React

Experience: I have 5+ years of experience with Fortune 500 companies, digital agencies and tech startups. Feel free to drop me an email if you'd like to chat about your project (there is no pressure whatsoever to work with me!)

Also I’m cool with starting off with a trial period to see how things go initially.

I'd like to test various deeplearning frameworks, but would prefer not to setup my own testing server in the cloud.

Is there a guide to installing frameworks in azure notebooks? I don't mind paying for using it.
I'm a little confused by

Let C(x) be a constraint checking polynomial; C(x) = 0 if 0 <= x <= 9 and is nonzero otherwise. There’s a simple way to construct C(x): x * (x-1) * (x-2) * ... * (x-9)

This is only true if x is an integer in that range, right? But the polynomial he's transforming by applying C to it doesn't have a discrete range
I tried Apple News for a few months. I felt like it started to filter what it was showing me based on what I was reading. One of the reasons I prefer an RSS feed is I don’t get the impression that the news source may be tailoring the news feed.
I've been using https://tt-rss.org/ as a Google Reader replacement for years and highly recommend it. You do have to run it yourself, though.

I don't think it's worth shopping from China unless you're in China or reselling stuff made in China and have deals directly with the suppliers. A lot of products are cheaper buying from retailers outside of China if you're also outside of China. The cost isn't worth it to ship to individuals outside of China unless you're willing to pay the shipping fee, and that erases the cost benefit that most people would hope to get?

He's partially right, the web 2.0 trend was all about interaction, "we" all believed it would be heavens on earth while we now know it's far from that and now I (we?) would love to go back to light and simple aggregation.
technically technically and technically we all compile to asm since v8 does that on the fly and technically technically it is 1's and 0's. Hence my reasoning for saying typescript ;p
C++'s Core Guidelines have been worked on for the last two years, and weren't even trying to get full compatibility with Rust's guarantees, and still aren't really done yet. It's great work, but it's far from "trivial". If it were trivial to turn C++ into Rust, we wouldn't have bothered making Rust.
As a hoops nerd this is one of my favorite podcasts. I think people underestimate how much demand there is for just good discussion. And since you don't need high production, you can just crack out out near daily.
> One of the strengths that's getting overlooked here is that crowd-sourced news seems to be more reliable than news from any one source. Everyone is biased, but if enough people are talking about something the bias tends to cancel out.

The problem with this is that people only have time to check a limited number of sources. Furthermore, many orders of magnitude more sources means that there are many orders of sources that are dangerously wrong as well. Thus, if someone sees a number articles/tweets/posts/whatever from a variety of people espousing that the Texas church shooter was an antifa commie starting the revolution, they are much more likely to believe it.

On top this, with so many sources, people need methods of filtering, and, of course, one of our primary methods of filtering is to find communities/people we tend to agree with. Thus, the now cliche echo chambers are born. These communities are furthermore highly susceptible to manipulation (see the russian facebook ads).

Furthermore, this makes the system fairly easy to take advantage of. If a number of people that seem unrelated online engage in a coordinated effort to spread a particular message, they can do it with ease, since when you see the same message from multiple, seemingly unrelated sources, you're much more likely to believe it.

So while you're right that we used to rely on gossip and hearsay, simply amplifying the number of sources in no way implies that we're getting a less biased message.
Yes but ours were Wolfvision.

The reason why I wanted to get rid of them was A) The professors would try to fold them down and pull and break the arms and the damage the table. B) They ended up eating a ton of my equipment budget.

For some reason the staff as a whole decided that it was ridiculous the college spent so much on the equipment (Up to $100,000 per large classroom) and revolted on touching anything because they didn't want to be responsible for damaging them. No one on my staff ever threatened anyone nor did the administration. After a few years I left but man the document reader was always the drama point. When I was in the classroom teaching I would go out of my way to use them all the tim.

Your backup site should be in a different region - e.g. if your primary is eastern US your backup should be central or western US. Otherwise you are vulnerable to various natural and man-made disasters.
I believe that, but nobody other Google really knows how much of the gap is things that are either good/neutral for consumers, and how much of it isn't. Certainly some part of it is pushing the organics down, long forced ads in front of videos, etc.

However, investors are expecting that continued ~20% YoY growth...which will further widen the gap. I don't see how that's possible without doing more things that are bad for consumers.
I agree completely.

It's the web at its best. There no need for a decentralized social network. We have the web.

We should return using RSS (or Atom) and find some other tools to help for forums / messages.

Just add /rss to the URL [0]

Easiest way to find the RSS feed on most sites is to search for "RSS" in the page source; there's usually just one instance, and it's a direct link.

These days, many sites don't advertise their feeds, but it's still in the source (and is often broken in one way or another). If it is botched, a friendly email to their web admin with a link to the W3C Feed Validator [1] can go a long way; most times it's an easy fix for them.

It has the same limitations as HTML.

For HTML, these limitations were circumvented by burying the platform under an ever increasing heap of javascript crap.
Movies and shows like those are the work of many people. It's not fair to the rest of those involved to shun a work because of the unrelated actions of a few people who contributed to it.

Francis Underwood and Lester Burnham are just characters. Kevin Spacey portrayed them and his skill and appearance helped bring them to life but I don't see why enjoying their stories has to be about the actor in whom they manifested.

If you're worried about benefiting people like him when you pay money for their works, remember that their share of the profits of the sales/rentals is insignificant compared to the contracts and licensing deals they're now being refused or kicked out of.

There are far more horrible things consumers are funding far more directly than the crimes by people who starred in the movie/show you're watching on your laptop. The right course forward is to investigate every allegation, support victims and put measures into place to make it less likely to happen again -- all you can do is attempt to pressure those in positions to make those decisions to make the right ones.

a lot of pages that use wordpress underneath still have feed-urls; if you know the URL, you can subscribe to them, even it if's not advertised in the head.

This can even be done without google. In fact, this would require minimal work. For example, Kodi's youtube plugin, which lacks the recommendations and autoplay features (which is a feature in this case), could be easily restricted to only show the "Subscriptions" folder.

On the other hand, a user-maintained curated list of channels for children is not something that unthinkable (think of GitHub model, with pull requests and that sort of thing).

Join both things and you get a better alternative to Youtube Kids for concerned parents. I'm even surprised nobody has done something like this, it would be a nice project.

My kids get to learn about living with HIV almost every time we watch Peppa Pig with a 3+ minute long commercial of monologues with people suffering from HIV. Also one time we got an American conservative extremist group video ad railing against transgender rights. And violent video game ads all the time.

I signed up for YouTube Red for a free month of no commercials and it was great. I'm wondering if maybe YouTube is doing this to nudge parents into signing up for their premium service to avoids disturbing ads during kid viewing time. $10/month really isn't that bad and I'm considering just having it part my monthly digital fee schedule.
When you're writing a kernel in Rust, you aren't using the default heap allocation API; you aren't using the allocation API at all. You could then build any sort of allocation strategy you want. You don't need to wait for the new traits, though of course, using them eventually helps with interoperability.

You're certainly right about "mature way" wrt alignment, but it's something that can be worked around until then.
Totally agreed. Unfortunately (and fortunately, depending on how you look at it), there is no single benevolent dictator of JS to help you make your decision like in other communities.

I think this quote from this article is a good summary of this discussion: "Scala people don't have time for redditing and blogging, they're busy getting crap done."

The Internet has a natural selection mechanism that rewards the product that captures the most attention, for the longest time. As long as this mechanism is at play, there will always be mind hacks that get people hooked. So it's not that people are evil, it's the system, the ad-driven business model.

Hipchat just feels really enterprisey. Like those CRMs when you sign up for a trial then suddenly some guy just schedules a meeting - would you be free to Skype Monday or Tuesday? While I don't know whether Hipchat actually does this, part of the reason I don't want to sign up is because there's some worry that some guy in a suit would be sending me lots of emails about when a good time to meet is.

Slack just feels casual, like Trello or Google Docs.
What about getting desks that you can add wheels to. I️ know you can put castors on GeekDesks, but I’m sure other desks support them as well. Fairly low tech solution, and your developers can use whatever equipment they prefer.
Why is the verge so negative on Google? Stop trusting them for search? Maybe if you are searching for simple things, but for more advanced searches Google is, by far, the best.
Now I realize that I'm not necessarily the norm, but I'm a long time listener and subscriber to this podcast and a Patreon donor and I don't gamble. I just really like basketball and really like their content.

Also, Danny writes for a few different places pretty regularly and has a book out, so I'm sure he's doing okay from that. He's also the host of a RealGM podcast. Nate is the actual host of the podcast and not every single episode includes Danny (though 95% do) so there's a chance it's not an even split.
Singles day is way too close to Black Friday, I don’t see room for both shopping frenzies in November. Besides, most cultures aren’t into numerology as much as Chinese are (they don’t think 11/11 is that interesting), so the gimmick doesn’t really translate well outside of china.
The problem for him will be the burnt bridges. Similar allegations have been brought up against him and others in the past and the accused largely came out unscathed. It seems that the industry is far less comfortable with it this time around and there seem to be harsh consequences.

I doubt the consequences are an expression of shock, it seems far more likely it's just a way to protect your brand's reputation (like we've previously seen with advertisers on YouTube). If that's the case I find it doubtful he'll find it easy to benefit from his old contacts until this blows over.

Unless he's literally recording himself in his room and uploading to his website, he needs people to work with him. And even then he'd still be a the whim of a hosting company.

If you are talking about retailers like the merchants on Aliexpress, many of them offer free shipping. So the prices are lower and the shipping is free. It's crazy that I sometimes buy an item that costs less than US$1 that comes with free shipping. I read somewhere that the Chinese postal system subsidizes a lot of it - not sure if true.
> increasing income of internet users

If anything, the average income of internet users is decreasing. The majority of people in the rich countries have been online since the 90s and early 2000s. Everyone who's been joining after that is most likely from an underdeveloped or developing country.

That's a bit of a misleading stat since most consumer spending is on stuff like housing/transportation/food/utilities.
Yes you're right, and we're part of the way there with automated, immutable deployments. Debugging locally is still common for us at the moment, and I'm looking for solutions for the situation we have at the moment. Of course you're quite right though.
Yes your ability to do so has probably atrophied.

I've personally experience increased noise sensitivity after working remotely for years, but the good news is after an adjustment period of a few months working in an open office, the noise became tolerable again.
That's not misleading at all. That's how consumer spending is measured. How would you go about explaining that water, electricity and food are not consumption goods, but an iPad is?
Online shopping works pretty well in the USA. My wife (Chinese) doesn’t see too much difference since we moved to the USA from Beijing last year. We no longer buy things like bottled water (well, we don’t need to!) or other groceries/soft goods online like we did in BJ, but we have semi daily packages of everything else.

China has great same day logistics using poorly paid guys on electric bikes (so food and soft good delivery is very reasonable), but everything else is equivalent or a bit worse than the states.

I don't think that. I would ask for greater recognition that it is inevitable that men will make the vast majority of the mistakes because of the difference in male and female sex drives. This is not a failure of morality on the part of men. We do not need to "teach men not to rape", the vast majority of men are already exceptionally well-behaved. But mistakes are going to happen. I think it's true that the vast majority of men never harm women. But at the same time it's practically a miracle if a man gets from age 13 to being in a stable loving relationship without doing something wrong at some point. Crucifixion is not appropriate.

If I had a kid, I would not want them watching Ren & Stimpy until they were mentally prepared for it.

I remember the show being a wonderful subversive work of art. I also remember it being nightmare fuel when I was as old as 11. If a young child ends up watching a Ren & Stimpy equivalent just because YouTube recommended it, or more likely, watching something just as edgy but without the quality -- that too is a problem.
How does

?

I'd say that both of those are possible extremes of not being able to tell which sources are trustworthy, i.e. some will distrust all sources equally, and some will trust all sources equally.

Which extreme someone tends to likely depends on their subject-matter experience. E.g. when I was a child, my parents bought me a time-travel comic (the German series Mosaik) which always had some background information on the epoch. I always enjoyed reading that and trusted the accuracy of their description. When they had an issue on April Fool's, it took my parents a while to convince me that giant tunnel-boring ladybirds on the moon were not real. Nowadays I'm obviously better able to distinguish truth from falsehood, but if I'm just learning about something for the first time, I might easily be taken for a fool again.
