I'm in my 40s and still doing well.

If you still have the passion for development and for learning/improving you should be able to keep going.

It seems no one is 100% safe from layoffs or companies making bad decisions.

I would encourage everyone to explore creating products/SaaS if those things are interesting to you. There no better job security than running your own business.

If they just opened verification to everyone and charged a fee for it. It would be a significant money maker.

Then once you a huge amount of verified actual humans, there are so many business ideas, you can dream up or try from there.
Binary patching is really only reasonable when the source code is indeed lost. If they had the code but simply needed a compiler that worked, they could have rebuilt it using the same toolchain and build environment it was built with to begin with. Old versions of Windows and MSVC are obviously still around.
This is patently false. FUD. And you need to stop repeating it. There are people I’ve seen running ZFS with incredibly low amounts of ram. In the megabytes. Will it perform well? Depends on what it’s doing. But it can run acceptably in low memory situations.

Even if it didn’t you act like ram is expensive. Everyone that complains it takes too much ram needs to get a job. Seriously ram is cheap it’s not 1970.

I think those people that complain about Freenas have no idea what the problems actually are. Samba itself has never been a performance demon. But that’s not why people use it. But to claim it’s freenas that’s slow is redonkulous.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but isn't Siri on FAR more devices and used FAR more frequently than Alexa? You can talk about reliability of Siri vs Alexa, but lots of people thought Windows Mobile was actually really good, too. Same for the Palm Pre.
>you won't be removed for discussion in good faith,

>though you may be disagreed right to the bottom.

Is there a difference?

Both actions basically say "this speech is not worthy of consideration around here". The difference between making it still available to serve as a warning or removing it entirely is not meaningful IMO.
That's simply not true. There is no recovering from a failed assert. Go's recover() allows recovering from panics.

Further, it is considered good practice to recover from panics within library API boundaries, and return errors across the API instead. "The convention in the Go libraries is that even when a package uses panic internally, its external API still presents explicit error return values."[1]

The purpose of the "Hey Siri" and "Okay, Google" functionality is to listen to those specific phrases. It is not intended to be used to covertly record people and can not be used by a regular consumer to do so. The law does not concern itself with technicalities such as what constitutes an "active microphone". What matters is intent. That's a pretty easy question to answer for those watches. This functionality is literally a bullet-point in their ads.
In that event, it is open source and someone can pick it up.

Thinking Fast and Estimating Wrong
Alzheimers would result in a shrug, just like how you would shrug if someone told you you're gonna die one day.

Alzheimer's isn't like being dead though. It's an incredibly painful reminder to everyone you've every loved that you are no longer "you", but they have to take care of you every day anyways. Painfully re-opening wounds every time you don't remember who they are, or hurt yourself from confusion. It's a continuous living purgatory for your loved ones, with you gone but not gone.

I'd rather live the best, unhealthiest life, and hope I'm dead dead from other causes before I can cause so much pain to the ones I love.
The Volkswagen Microbus is officially coming back and it'll be electric
Wikipedia came to mind when this topic of 100% accuracy came up, a metric people seriously think Google needs to hit in order to not cause mass hysteria, it seems. Wikipedia is constantly updated because the information is curated by humans. Humans have the ability to lie, omit facts based on beliefs, fudge numbers to paint a specific narrative, and so many more egregious examples of ways to mislead those who would use the resource. I understand having high expectations for things but just like with anything fact based there needs to be a level of skepticism and self policing of what we allow to become things we know to be true based on our own acknowledgement.

This is something I feel long time internet users have built up a tolerance to and an eye for. Of course I understand wanting to hit that 100% metric for those unfamiliar with the concept of others steering folks in the wrong direction purposefully but how can we honestly draw a defined line in the sand to gauge a systems usefulness? Especially when that system's data is based on the concept of human knowledge, an ever changing, rapidly developing, and hotly contested part of the human experience?
I think history is teaching us new lessons with this current generation of tech companies. Apple is not just bringing a new product, they are bringing the entire trillion-dollar machine that includes worldwide retail presence, millions of stored credit cards, one of the worlds best brands, and a huge and dominant ecosystem. Any product they launch now has an inherently unfair advantage that allows them to be late to market and still enjoy success.
I had a question about the mention of this under the RAID section:

>"ZFS is not affected by the RAID-5 write hole."

The "write hole" can exists in other RAID configurations such as RAID 10, RAID 1, RAID 6 etc. Is ZFS only insulated from these "write holes" in RAID 5 or all ZFS supported RAID configurations?

Not directly. But I think the (theoretical) ability to monetize videos in other ways unsticks creators from dependence on the youtube-controlled ad revenue mechanism.

Some youtubers are already incorporating podcast ads (Blue Apron, Naturebox, etc) into their videos. So while I'm dubious of any particular coin trying to add its own monetization layer on top of youtube, I think it's a special case of a general phenomenon that bears monitoring.
I also think a good manager can double or quadruple the effectiveness of their entire team

Another way of thinking about this: Managing people really well is really hard. Most managers are not the best managers. Average managers often end up doing things that reduce the output of their group in the interest of things not going horribly wrong. The Pareto distribution rears its ugly head, once again.
There are already plenty of good sounding smart speakers out there (Sonos, for one). Most good assistants can connect to external speakers, as well. Banking on "it's not good at much, but it sounds good" is a very risky approach.

Plus, the Google Home Max will be out soon, which will presumably far outshine the homepod by being a good sounding speaker and a useful assistant.
You might want to look for a less painful and less expensive suicide method, and then proceed to not suffer and donate the money saved to charity.

I agree -- given the sample space, there is not effective way to calculate the margin of error. Even so, I don't think that there are many examples of non-deterministic mechanisms that produce the correct answer 97% of the time.

Creating fragmentation will not necesarily be a good thing. Developers need to be aware of which vm is in use and if you release modules you will now have to build and test on Chakra too. 2x the build time at the very least. It is not all benefits.
Sorry, but you can't really exist here without benefitting from thousands of years of human effort offered up to you by our ancestors. Your ideas, your choices, your work, everything that you might consider a part of you, is a natural consequence of exposing the same basic machinery to a some combination of pre-existing material.

You are an emergent phenomenon - to claim "ownership" of anything is pure hubris, and reflects a dangerously limited understanding of causality.
I actually want to trust my kid not to commit royally stupid acts. I have no desire to know it’s exact location. For most cases and most accidents I’ll be way to far away to affect the outcome. Think: ok, kid’s in the park, safe. Well, climbed a tree, fell down. How’s that GPS tracker helping to avoid that? So I’d prefer the kid to know I’m not tracking every step and won’t be round the corner to catch every fall. My parents trusted me not to fuck up royally and I’m still alive, albeit with some permanent scars. I’ll pass that on.

Everyone not in the ad industry loves to make claims about how its going to fall apart, but no one I've seen has the expertise and data needed to back up their claims.

Maybe the author has a point, but this article is incoherent. There is no sources and the entirety is predicated on baseless assumptions and some analogy.

No sources or even attempt to prove any claims:

- There are too many publishers

- There is a fixed amount of 'revenue seats'

- Google/fb/etc take a portion of that fixed revenue

- etc.

I don't even know what 'too many publishers' really means, but there is undoubtedly not a fixed amount of revenue (double digit growth every year in digital ad spend), and google/fb only increase that total amount of ad revenue by acting as a ssp/dsp/exchange.
> then take it down.

Love this idea!

But I get to decide what's permitted and what's not.

We're going to start with art that I don't understand, then off to literature that I don't care for, when all of that filth is cleaned out, it's on to expressions of thought that everyone intuitively knows are wrong, then we progress to purge politics of incompatible policy and incorrect voting patterns.

Ok?
I haven't done it on heavily enough MySQL servers to really tell you - but on "typical" installs there is no noticeable difference.

I'd say add a bit of extra RAM for ARC overhead you wouldn't usually, and of course invest in SLOG devices.

ZFS is never going to win any speed races, but what we gain in snapshotting/rollback/trivial remote backups makes it a great fit for many of our pgsql/mysql installs.
Software is being added to light bulbs, garage door openers and coffee makers.

First of all, I don't think the author claims to be a communist anywhere, just that his parents were, at one time, members of the communist party. Second of all, popular estimates of the death toll of communism are ludicrously exaggerated, sometimes outright fabricated, and often include a lot of questionable cases. The Black Book of Communism, where the infamous 100 million figure comes from, includes Soviet soldiers that died in WW2 and vastly inflates the number of people who died in gulags and famines, among many other inaccuracies. The gulag figure is orders of magnitude bigger than the number of people who were even sentenced to forced labor in first place. It is widely regarded as complete trash by serious historians. This is not to discount the very real human suffering under dictators like Stalin and Mao, but to compare famines resulting for incompetence to the deliberate industrialized slaughter of 11 million people is just stupid.

On the subject of fighting Nazis, I'll leave you with a quote from Hitler himself, perhaps the pre-eminent expert on Nazis: "Only one thing could have stopped our movement – if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement."

You're right, they got the name wrong.

However, I read it all, and they seemed to know their stuff. They knew about using lawsuits to move money out, and they knew about using fake insurance policies to move money back in. I don't think most people know that - I only learned them recently.
Indeed. Personally I am confused by those wishing to die in their sleep. I'd prefer to be totally awake, cognitively aware that I'm dying. People think I'm joking when I say I'd like a violent death, if the alternative is Alzheimer's.

The trouble is a) knowing that I have it and b) having the drive to annihilate myself before I no longer can do it myself. Fortunately I live in a state where suicide is legal and available by pill, and that's a great option if I can't build up the drive to rig my death some other way.
Just to make it plain. In formal language theory, a language is a set of symbols and a set of rules that determine what is a valid string.

Given such a definition of the ability text language, you don't need to restrict yourself to only those strings that are actually printed on cards.

In the same sense, we don't define the English language as every text ever written in English - but as some unknown formal system that can produce an unknown, probably infinite, number of strings that includes all text ever written in English.

So why treat the M:tg language any different?

This is something I did a lot using VBA. I'm not sure how to do it with open document format, but it's really easy using VBA. The MS Word object has a method to combine documents.

I did something similar to what I think you are trying to do. I basically merged data into several different documents, and then I combined those documents into a single document. I could dig up the code if you think that is something you'd be interested in, but I'm not entirely sure what your end goal is.
Hi. I worked on this project. I knew this would come up on HN, and it's a fair question.

> Do you guys at least get paid extra for this type of insanity?

We were compensated for our weekend time. And we did win a cash prize for 1st in the company hackathon. But we didn't expect to win, and that's not why we did it.

I value my time with my family of five. That's part of the reason I live in Utah with a 20 minute commute.

This would be an issue if it were required, expected, or routine. It was none of the those. It was self-driven,, fun, and a challenge. Much more fun than those 2 hr commutes I hear about from some people :)

The money doesn't go "into a hole". The funds are saved and a creator can retrieve them at any time once they sign up for an account

Why not make it a "pledge?"
Right, you could certainly be insane about it, but if for example you could program perhaps a generous geofence alert and speed alert, you wouldn't even have to look at their location to have some extra reassurance while letting them off to do their own thing.

Maybe you shouldn't be worrying in the first place- but for those that do, it could be the proverbial knee guards and helmet that allow their kid to roam.

I may be misunderstanding something, since I'm not a youtube creator, but couldn't someone sufficiently comfortable with the other revenue streams they have at their disposal voluntarily choose to demonetize their own youtube videos?
>a creator can retrieve them at any time

at any time, up until the policy changes. Users don't have to worry about what payment platforms their favourite creators support only if they are unworried about whether their money actually gets to those creators.
If the charity had to jump through hoops to receive the donations, yes. If the creators could just get a check in the mail, or BAT were converted to cash and forwarded to an existing patreon, I wouldn't have the same concerns that I do as is.
> "balance" implies neither "unbiased" nor "objective".

I think it absolutely does.
I find it a bit surprising that companies like B&W haven't integrated Alexa into their wireless products. Sonos has a new wireless speaker that looks nice, but I wouldn't consider it high-end.
Nice, I've been looking for something like this. What technology did you use to build it?
I think that the 200kwh battery pack is probably important for getting the instantaneous power out of the pack to hit their performance numbers.

More battery cells in parallel = more current draw. The range is probably more of a bonus side effect of having enough battery cells to hit the power and acceleration targets.

Instruction set makes much less of a difference than the actual microarchitecture. For an extreme example, see Pentium 4 vs Core. Something that runs fast on one could be dramatically different on the other.

The only time ISA really influences optimization is for unique ones like IA-64/Itanium. Otherwise, optimizing for e.g. a modern Xeon vs a POWER8 is not terribly different.

How does the contract know a default occurred? The answer is that some entity or individual has to be trusted to input that information into the contract, at which point the smart contract aspect becomes totally useless (and in fact, demonstrably worse than a centralized solution).
