> pleasant to use.

That is a matter of opinion, which is what the OP before you was trying to point out. I know emacs, and use it as well when I'm in a shell environment, but I prefer to use Atom in a desktop environment where I may be copying and pasting from other apps. Pleasant is an opinion, which negates right and wrong.
Impossible to know. I don't care what qz.com claims. Usually this stuff is done discretely so only 2 people really know what happened. There is also the fuzzy line between trying to laid and outright harassment.
Why is there no “Who's Hiring” for Dec 2017?
I've been reading hackernews for years and this is the first time I haven't seen "Who's Hiring" as the top result (or at least on the frontpage), on the first of the month.

I went back a couple pages and still didn't see it, did a search for the last 24 hours, didn't see it, what gives?

Do people care less about who's hiring this month for some reason? Has no one put it up yet? Has there been a change in the "Who's Hiring" postings?

What's the deal with "Who's Hiring?"?
I guess it depends on what you're interviewing for. If you want a junior to implement specs he's given your point might apply. It's not an appropriate question for someone with basically any real experience, though. Especially not someone who you expect to do anything more complex, like engineering.
As various people have pointed out on twitter, that way reconstructs the "boy's club"; it becomes impossible for women to access the necessary social networks to climb in some careers if they can't have meetings that men can.
Hello everyone! Author here. Happy to answer any question!
Language is a fascinating subject as always, I just wish there were a way to filter out non-native/fluent speakers from comments on said languages. Repeating what was read elsewhere doesn't really matter.

I once had a guy sit at my dinner table telling me how easy Spanish is to learn when he didn't know the language. I had my wife (a native Spanish speaker) promptly embarass him, he claimed to speak Spanish, why insult my wife who has native fluency (but still works at her own language, as I try to improve on my native English) by trivializing the language as 'easy'?

His wife spoke Cantonense and he never could figure it out, so I assume it was a defense mechanism to say the language I'm around is "easier". Objectively easy? Don't say so unless you're fully fluent, because you might get punked at my dinner table.
Folks following the Aubrey de Grey line of thought separate "the person" and "their body" as though the person exists as some kind of "software" running in "hardware" that is about to fail. It might not be that simple.

Being suddenly young again would certainly be delightful for a while but there's a huge psychological burden that comes with living for a long time. While it may be possible to extend the life of the body, there are related philosophical considerations that the "live-forever" folks IMHO are flippantly dismissing. It makes me concerned that in the distant future we could find ourselves as a society with ever more problems that we're not equipped to deal with. We'll all likely be dead by then, but it makes for a thought.
"Codenames" is a clever word game. It has a downside that it requires at least 4 players. There is a board of words (each word is on a double-sided card and there are a few hudreds). One person on each team has a diagram with certain words (array indices) he must communicate to another team members. He does that by saying a word (word association) and a number, which means how many words he's communicating. For example, if there's a ring, a journey, and a monster you could say "Hobbit 3". Unlike a similar game, Dixit, this one has better longevity as it doesn't promote saying very obscure things only one person in group will know.

Neuroshima Hex! is a bit nerdy looking, but it's simple without expansions. Retro apocalyptic setting with mutants and evil robots. A knife fight in a telephone booth, plays well up to 4 players. You fill up the hexagonal board with your troops (they mostly don't move) rotating them so that they will hit the most enemies. Then it either fills up completely or one of players plays Battle token, and everything goes off like a chain reaction. Units hit in melee or shoot in order of their initiative. High interaction, tight mechanics. Most people prefer it as a duel game though. You can play it online too.

How is it assault if the other party is onboard ?
I think it's both C and NN. Don't forget each new C layer groups information from previous layers; using just a single C layer won't do you much good. It might not reflect brain much but it kinda resembles what retina/visual cortex neurons do; CNNs were actually inspired by visual field maps found in visual cortex and somebody had the idea that C is the most similar CV operation we have, and put them together. To everyone's surprise it worked nicely.

Ah, yes. The same reasons the Army no longer uses any helicopters at all.
Wondering how long before we don't have enough douchebags left to run the place.
Erm, receptacles are a type of outlet.

AFAIK the code also requires the wiring itself in those places be AFCI protected, since the (immediate) goal was to avoid smoldering fires in the wall where people sleep. This would imply the simplest route is an AFCI breaker for the whole branch circuit, although it was (is?) permissible to run metal conduit up to the first receptacle and have that do the AFCI.

Would have loved for the NEC to require that the code on AFCIs was technician-upgradeable and some general sense of open, but I'll just go back to banging my head against the wall now.

Keeping or removing Uber is a complex decision:

He's a little bit more than merely an Uber investor. Quoting: "He is a strategic advisor to Uber, and served as a board advisor to the company from 2011–2015." [1]

He also invested in many more companies than merely Uber. [1]

Therefore a case can be made for both keeping Uber as well as removing Uber from the title.

Show HN: Bug or Feature?
Dear HN,

This is my first time posting here, and I hope I'm doing this right.

The idea came to me by playing a game with my SO: 'Bug or Feature?'

It can be harmless bashing: 'The French: Bug or Feature?', and it can be dark humour: 'Down's syndrome: Bug or Feature?'

Anyway, for now I've only created this account, and I'm feeding it regularly through Buffer: https://twitter.com/bug_or_feature_

I'm thinking of maybe trying to make a bot, even though I have to admit that it's quite fun to come up with those.

Please critique my - small - work, any help and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!
In games with higher interaction newbies can effectively gang up on the experienced leader. It has its issues, but it works.
I took German in high school and as a summer class in grad school to meet the language requirement and have taken it on duolingo. I didn't find the grammar particularly hard once you learn the differences. Capitalizing all nouns makes it easy to identify them and learning verb endings makes it easy to identify verbs in many cases. What is hard for me is the vocabulary. If I haven't memorized it then I usually can't guess its meaning.
Moore is a special case. He was removed from the bench for failing to follow the law. Twice.

Thats not the full picture though. You've got the rate changes and the increased standard deduction. Most of the changes you've mentioned are bad for upper middle income people who are going to benefit the most from the lower rates in the new tax brackets. Plus, lowered corporate tax rates are likely to drive prices on goods down as well. It seems that very few if any people will end up with a net tax increase. Seems graduate students at prestigious universities won't do well in the short run. But I have a feeling they'll probably be fine when they graduate and get six figure salaries.

Overall, I'm still not a huge fan of the proposal though. Too many cuts for the rich and not enough for everyone else.

Not really. These are completely different classes of investors, and different classes of investment.
Not sure if this is a serious question or not, but "let" in the sense of "didn't complain" is not really the same thing as consent. Generally the effect of power and intimidation is to render people passive in these situations.
tl;dr

From the article:

"Up to one third of the American work force will have to switch to new occupations by 2030, in about a dozen years."

Yet current economic prognosticators are unable to make accurate predictions even 5 years out. Economics forecasting is notoriously inaccurate:

Furthermore the website appears to have been hastily thrown together with little commitment by any party. Following the link for "data" used in the study leads to one(1) single-page letter describing their intentions:

"BE WARNED

This folder has been created to publicly share data created by the AI Index.

It is currently just a dump of raw data, some of it is partial for the time being. Over the coming week we will dedicate effort to make sure the data here is organized and easy for the public to use.

At the moment, there should be no expectation that all the data is interpretable just from looking at the sheets. Again, this will change soon."

So no need to visit yet.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

True. Much like spam, success rates - depending on the goals - can be measured in the low single-digit percentages. If you scare away 95% of folks but your target is harvesting 3% of visitors' email address, this is a successful approach.

That's fine, to each his/her own. I'll stick with the 95% that ignore the prompt or (in my case) close the window when the screen blanks.

I see this uses a VisionBonnet board based on a Movidius chip... I wonder if such an accelerator is really needed. Could someone elaborate on the resources needed for applying (as opposed to training) a typical deep neural network? I am only familiar with "old school" neural nets, which are relatively cheap to evaluate. What is the bottleneck, memory, or the parallel computation? I would think that you could use GPU shaders to some extent, but the mixing after each layer and the number of weights you have to save would make it hard on a RPi, right?

Why do you assume Apple can read your iCloud data? If the decryption key for the backup is stored on device (protected by the device pin), then they can’t.
Did you read article? The first 4 paragraphs are about Pishevar's behavior toward an Uber employee. And at least one incident occurred at an Uber event (2014 holiday party). To say that this story has "nothing to do with [Uber]" is inaccurate or, worse, willfully blind.
Because we'd be putting 20% of men behind bars. Not a feasible solution.

> Second, I don't think anyone has been fired off of a single non-criminal accusation.

Yes. Look at how the accusation against George Takei never took off. It was one person. With everyone else (e.g. Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Eddie Berganza, John Lasseter), it was well-known in certain circles that the person was a creep, and there were multiple independent accusations. Takei, on the other hand, had a reputation for being an absolute gentleman in a time when the gay scene was notoriously grabby.

> 'That override will work even if we stick it into a module.'

That's the line where they lost me. Who wants to debug a situation where two unrelated modules clash because they wanted incompatible weird effects added to stdin? It would be better to have a situation like scala implicits, where you at least have to import the providing module to bring in the effects. Modules are only as useful as they are composable, in projects of any size.
Unfortunately, Musl is a bit slower in things like memory allocation, etc.

You can still set an arbitrary-length passcode. I think they phased out 4 as too weak, so now 6 is the default, but you can go longer and it'll just show you a text box instead of 6 placeholders.
Why is SHA-3 not explicitly mentioned as a candidate?
Well, yeah.

Hell, and there a ton of craziness that goes on in the dating scene. If I was still dating, I'd record with my phone, to prove "No, (s)he did consent. Here's the proof." The opposite of this, is fighting off a potential rape allegation. That scares the living fuck out of me, since a buddy had that happen.

But maybe there's a case for a device that records, in a sealed storage. Think of it as insurance on claims of wrongdoing.

I've also been sexually harassed by a manager (I'm a guy, manager was a woman). Worked at a subway. She grabbed my ass deep enough she fondled my testicles. Turns out the district manager came in the back door. Fired her on the spot. Makes me a weird exception, in that it was female doing to male subordinate, and it was solved.
Application developers aren't supposed to be distributing applications. Obviously this is unrealistic and fat packages are a pretty good solution but they're best positioned to be supplementary rather than replacement for disto package managers.

> The problem is exactly that it is hard to distribute applications in Linux.

For who? Distributions generally seem to like their own packaging processes. You can distribute a package on the AUR in a few lines of bash and it's filled to the brim with software because of it.

It's a bit sad that ameritrash sounds demeaning. I'm a fan of bringing some randomness into games (big fan of games including dice or card draws). My super-into-boardgames-friends seem to prefer "eurogames", but for me that's often too convoluted. I want to have fun and not plan some grand scheme to trump everyone else (I have enough planning and carefulness in my job already).
>As a German, I'm a bit puzzled as to why Latin languages like Spanish and Romanian, are more "similar to English" than German is.

They aren't, that's a poor assumption being made by the author of the blog post. They are faster to learn, not more similar. The reason they are faster to learn is the people they are basing this data on are almost entirely people who already speak another language, and it is usually French or Spanish. So other romance languages come faster to them, despite German being closer to English.
I too had the big bin of Legos when I was a kid. Thinking back on it, I actually preferred that sort of chaotic organization rather than having things sorted by color/type/etc. Part of the enjoyment of Legos for me was not building some specific thing I had some mental image of, but rather the browsing (initial intention + randomness) that would yield new creative possibilities.

I think that's also why, despite my best attempts, I never got into any of the computer Lego modelling tools; some of the fun was lost for me when I could select any piece on demand.

How is 1.5B a quarter on-par or worse than 750M per year?
I keep a journal using text files and Vim, but it is a combination of notes and journal. Instead of chronological order, I use text files based on the subject/topic. For example, I have a text file (journal) just for "Javascript" and another for "React". In fact, I even have notes on "journaling system", so I'm updating it as of now, writing an entry about "jrnl.sh". ON each text file, I'd write down what I learned, as well as snippets and URL of websites I have encountered. I don't use "tags" that often, because sometimes I'd forget the tags, or often it is hard to maintain them. I always have a Vim of notes/journals open, and I use ctrl-p and grep to add/read/search entries quickly. I think I might have about 400 (EDIT: over 1000) text files. Everything is saved to a git repo. Certain notes are published automatically as blog posts Hugo (by adding front matter, etc).

I also keep a personal journal in a traditional chronological order, which is a single "journal2017.txt" file. I also recommend using private git repo, not public, since it may contain some of your personal information, and private thoughts.

For the non-technical person (i.e. not into Vim or Emacs), I'd recommend Notational Velocity (nvAlt specifically) on Mac. I'd be using it, only if it had vim keybinding. It syncs online to SimpleNote, and it makes journaling really easy.
Don't diminish it by labeling it trendy.
