I think Gitlab does very well as a decentralized set of repos.
Sort of. When generation is unable to keep up with demand, and the generators can't maintain frequency keeping, the grid can go into load-shedding mode. Progressively disconnecting consumer sections until the generators can keep up.
The segments that have hospitals will tend to be the last to go.
I hear you. Let me share you my findings, knowing that with 10 years only of experience, I found great comfort in this stack. It is not perfect, but it is indeed better than the previous one for me.

Portable - run on mac, windows, linux, others.

Embedded - ship with the project.

JS friendly / Integrated - for instance you can read and write from JSON/JS/APIs easily. Tons of plugins adapted to web and mobile related concerns. Try to minify CSS with make?

Adapted to modern hardware constraints - for instance, sharing global deps is not the default best practice anymore since HD space is not at premium anymore. Multicore/multithread is the default option, not behind a flag. I/O is the modern constraint, not RAM.

Limited knowledge to get started - imagine it is the first app you are making in JS, you just learned the diff between the browser and the server ;). Gulp takes you from where you are, make requires knowledge of Linux, bash, env variables, probably apt-get/yum, make itself. A place you have never been before.

Modern doc - it's my opinion, but man is an awful doc interface. No quickstart, it has a TOC, not a menu and no search bar sig.

Innovative 'cause no legacy - we wouldn't have investigated hot reloading, smart watch mode, "better" pkg mgmt.

Easier to debug.

No context switch

How about we get really "crazy" and do some wealth redistribution.

"Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness". It's a catchy motto and its on the tin. It seems a minimum requirement is having a safe and secure place to live in.
To my mind, governing least means judiciously intervening when it actually requires it, but no more. If this is a situation where intervention makes sense, I am fine with that. I am just trying to comprehend if it is or not.
The questions are written in a way to tease these values apart. It's so easy to say you are [thing], but do you actually translate those values into daily routines, practices, and operations?

The team profiles on Key Values (www.keyvalues.com) are precisely what you just described. Teams self-select their top 8 values and are forced to rank them. Limiting their selections is a way for them to implicitly say/admit what they are not, and then they are asked to qualify their selections in their profiles. How convincing / genuine / accurate / sincere they are depends on the reader.
Why does anyone care about the sideshow of what the cause of the warming is?
> Perhaps but it's only been in the last few years that I've been hearing about it, mostly WRT the cloud vendors (AWS, specifically).

As business have become more willing to move core services to cloud platforms, they've demanded that those platforms provide a single sign on solution that integrates with their corporate directory.

So, the popularity of SAML has certainly risen with the popularity of cloud / SaaS, but it's perfectly normal for a technology to become more popular with time (until it eventually goes into decline), and that increase in popularity means that it becomes more widely known, and some people who have never had to deal with it before, now come into contact with it.

I've been involved in SAML implementations at fairly conservative technology organisations (banks, pharma) for more than 6 years (and for most of that time it wasn't my core role).
It's old tech, that's in wide usage, it just isn't something that most people need to deal with because it's boring identity management infrastructure that most application developers don't get involved in.
We have this, it's called taxes.

I'd like to see the US government spend a lot more of that money on taking care of the neediest of its citizens and a lot less doing things like trying to overthrow the government of the latest country that inexplicably ended up on our shitlist.
I believe the GUI idea is still alive, but today it can be web-based. See 1010data.com.
Bitcoin definitely won't live for another 10 years. Even without a bubble burst it will definitely get superseded by better alternatives by then.
Can you explain why you keep putting "poor white" in quotations?
For international shipments the government can, but Fedex is not supposed to. (Of course for international shipments fedex do have access to what you say is in the package)
Didn't you do a Show HN about your service a while back? I swear I remember reading something like that and thinking "that's amazing!!"

If so, I'm glad things worked out for you! Well done. And if that wasn't you, congrats anyway :D
Not all of them. In smaller towns you can rent an apartment or even business space on a handshake.
I suspect from your comment that you didn't go through and submit the form on the page. It doesn't give you questions to ask to make yourself look good, but gives you questions to ask to get the "real" answers to things that are important to you.

For example, you can't just ask your interviewer "how's the work-life balance here?" for the same reason as your interviewer isn't going to ask you "do you have a good work ethic?" -- because there's an obviously "right" answer so you're not going to get much useful information out of it. If you select that you're interested in work-life balance, this application suggests you ask something along the lines of "How responsive are people to emails/Slack over the weekends and after 6pm?" and provides a brief explanation of why you might ask that question and how it relates to your actual interest. IMO it's a great basis for a question to ask because it doesn't have an obviously "right" answer, though personally I would tweak it somewhat.

Overall this application seems very thoughtfully put together and I am impressed.
Sure, share the wealth, and ideally have heeded warning for the last few decades. Similar Rx for everything from Middle East violence to environmental decline.

It’s just that people don’t listen until their shit burns down.
Perhaps, (go with me here) perhaps we don't strictly need questions, forms, drug tests, credit checks, background checks, arrest warrant checks, and belonging searches to give someone the simple dignity of a little room to spend a night in.
There is some truth to this, but it is much, much more common to stick you in the back seat of a police car or sheriff's vehicle and drive you to the edge of their jurisdiction and drop you by the side of the road.

In some cases, it is done nicely and helpfully because you are traveling on foot, it saves you a bunch of walking and you don't die in their jurisdiction. Other times, it is asshole behavior for pan handling (I never panhandled, I just know it happens).

When I was in downtown San Diego, word on the street was that there was an organization that would help with travel to get back home. But when I have searched online, I haven't located such info.

I have idly wondered if we could create an organization for donating travel points of various sorts to help homeless people get train tickets or other travel expenses covered.
Sheets... I just.. I can't.

I was a business analyst (excel grunt) for 2+ years in a biotech startup. Sheets is just different in enough ways to positively irk even the "casual power user" of Excel, IMO.
I'm sure he could. I'm not calling Brown an idiot. But he's no genius either. Bluntly, we're mostly talking about real estate deals where he had the ability to block and unblock progress at will. If he unblocked progress (UCSF Mission Bay) I'm sure he looked like a genius.

But what does he have to show for it all? The replacement of the eastern span of the Bay Bridge was $6.5 billion, at least a decade late, up from $250M original, and then he wanted it named after himself. Really. I'm supposed to call that smart? It used Chinese steel (Rose Pak thanks you) that was delayed every time there was a price fluctuation.

Really. The guy was a power broker. But he wasn't an effective politician. He just cut deals.
Biulding codes and standards are not what is making california housing expensive. Construction costs are nothing compared to the cost of land.
Which can be said of native apps as well
I've used fish as my shell for over five years. Thanks to the developers!

One issue is the behavior of globs. I often want to do "scp host:directory/* ." but you can't do that in fish, so I drop to bash. That's pretty much all I drop to bash for.
If I connect to someone’s server and they log it then that’s data that could not exist without me but it could also not exist without them. So it is mine or theirs?
Can you say, "False economy?". See, I knew you could.
I didn't say it was right. I was just stating why you were being downvoted.
The protectionist tax policies in California are not helping the situation.
That's no different from a real-life network. Biology tends to solve this by growing connections as well as pruning them.

Another comment mentioned Song Han's work into NN compression. Well, I looked up a recent paper and look what it says:

> We discovered an interesting byproduct of model compression: re-densifying and retraining from a sparse model can improve the accuracy. That is, compared to a dense CNN baseline, dense → sparse → dense (DSD) training yielded higher accuracy

> We now explain our DSD training strategy. On top of the sparse SqueezeNet (pruned 3x), we let the killed weights recover, initializing them from zero. We let the survived weights keeping their value. We retrained the whole network using learning rate of 1e−4. After 20 epochs of training, we observed that the top-1 ImageNet accuracy improved by 4.3 percentage-points

> Sparsity is a powerful form of regularization. Our intuition is that, once the network arrives at a local minimum given the sparsity constraint, relaxing the constraint gives the network more freedom to escape the saddle point and arrive at a higher-accuracy local minimum. So far, we trained in just three stages of density (dense → sparse → dense), but regularizing models by intermittently pruning parameters throughout training would be an interesting area of future work

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.07360v3.pdf

I wonder if you could also receive similar results by simply turning some connections "off" for a while, only training the rest of the connections. Then turn the missing connections on a gain and, randomly turning a few other connections off, and continue training.
I imagine this future institution will be called the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Casino.

1010data's web UI isn't actually based on the K2-era GUI framework; it is architected as a reasonably conventional web application that happens to use K3 as a server-side language. The 1010data query language offers facilities for making data-driven UIs for interactive reports and the like, but any semantic similarity to the K2 GUI system is probably coincidental.
If you like fish but miss the plugin ecosystem of zsh you might be interested in the fish-shell plugin manager, fisherman. I've really been enjoying fish with z and fzf.

It drops into cmd, but it is configurable (and there's actually a Chocolatey community package for it that I believe prompts you for which default shell you want at install-time).

With PowerShell Core 6, we also support PowerShell Remoting Protocol (PSRP) over SSH as a transport, which means that you can do stuff like New-PSSession and Enter-PSSession without WinRM. (PowerShell just gets registered as a "subsystem" of sshd, same thing sftp-server does.) You can check that out here: https://github.com/powershell/powershell/tree/master/demos/S...
It seems real estate is not great example. If we look at 2008, wasn't it because there were people speculating on housing?
Your bank could give you a quantum keyfob. All of your encrypted transactions are now entangled, so you know that nobody has spied on them: the act of observation modifies the result.
Out of the mainstream formats, JSON is among the easiest to parse - thanks to the CLI tool jq. Does UCL have something equivalent?

Protobuf (or any other binary format) has the benefit of being faster to load, but I agree - it should not be be used to store things like history. It should be easy to parse history without having to write code. And with Protobuf, you need the schema.

If a binary format is going to be used, it should be optional - or perhaps there should be tools to convert the history file to/from a plaintext format.

How is React a pain to learn? It's the most simple framework I've ever learned. I can count all the methods/concepts on my fingers: components, state, props, setState, render and 5 or 6 lifecycle methods you occasionally use (componentDidMount and so on). The rest is vanilla JS.

I coded with Angular 1 for 2 years and had to open the doc each time I wanted to use ngRepeat…

Well there are dedicated lines when you need more than a certain amount of power. As for brownouts, they can promise priority in repairing power outages but at that point the client is expected to have backups or UPSes of their own
WealthTrack: mobile app to track stocks
WealthTrack: mobile app to track stocks and portfolio performance, create watchlists and trade from multiple accounts.

Our app is very native and easy to use, compared to some of the most popular stock screeners in the app store. You can create your custom watch lists, track favorite stocks, get alerted and dig into company's financials. It's not a solicitation or self-promotion, we want to make a valuable application for traders and investors.

Is your app free without ads?
Yes, totally free and no ads. Our revenue will come from lead generation -- any user will be able to open account right from the app, as well as trade stocks or ETFs from different accounts. WealthTrack.io is your personal investment app.

Where do you get the data from?
We collect the data from multiple sources, incl. barchart, quandl, zacks, yahoo and more. Some of the data we show is paid, but again, we don't charge our users for that. It's on us.

Do you have financials in the app?
Yes, we do have financials of each stock you find there. We also have analysts recommendations consensus, newsfeed, fundamental data and ratios.

Do you send notifications or price alerts?
Yes, we have custom notifications. Users can set price targets and as soon as the price hits the target, we notify this user with push alert.

If you have any other suggestions on how to make this tool more useful and helpful, we'd love to hear your feedback. As of now, subscribe for beta here: http://wealthtrack.io, hope you're going to enjoy it.
How about getting 100 active users paying you $500/month each?
Switzerland's attitude had served it pretty well so far. It probably wouldn't have been at peace since 1815 if it had not had enough defences to put off other countries from invading in WW1 and 2. It's refreshing that it's defence spending is actually for defence and not for attacking distant countries.
I hope to god you're not making some sort of nazi death camp "joke"...

What kind of network drive support are you looking for specifically?

If you mean, "interact with them from an interactive shell like cmd or PowerShell", yes, you can absolutely do that. Our implementation literally stands up a console host on the server side, so whatever you can do in that console host with the privileges you have, you can do over SSH.

If you mean, "do you support SCP and SFTP for transferring files in a network-drivey way" the answer is also yes. SCP is supported directly against sshd, and we ship both an SFTP server and client.

If you're talking about something NFS or SMB related, I'd be curious to hear more details.
I just wanted to add that having taken it multiple times with an experienced driver I've still felt scared af. It's very winding.
Yup! We support down to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2. You just have to install the bits from GitHub (but they're actually more up-to-date because we can ship there a lot faster).
the discussion on the page itself is amazing :) from THE dude himself:

> The basic misunderstanding here is between what I meant as objects and what the term has been turned into. The main one was that the intent was to have the interior of objects be a system of objects. I.e. "objects" and "modules" are the same thing. This harmonizes with the compositional ideas above.

> Another misunderstanding was the idea of objects as "data types" or as "operators" (both of which can be done by virtue of an object being semantically a whole computer). But we really thought about objects as "loci of goal satisfactions" and that the best messages would be to request goals and the best objects would be those who can satisfy "large goals".

> The universality of objects could be used to make every part, with the aim to get stronger semantically as more comprehensive objects were made. Some of the precursor ideas here were "systems theory" (Bertalanfy, Alexander, etc.), programming as "constraint solving" (Sketchpad), etc.

> In practice, we did a lot less during the Parc period because of some of the resource constraints of the 70s. Still, it was clear that composition was almost always better than inheritances, and that recursive systems of name spaces was better than the more "Lisp-like" architecture we used for references, etc.

So people who bought their houses at a time they could afford them and are retired on a fixed income can have their property confiscated by the government when they can't pay the outrageous property taxes on their home's "value"...?
Taxpayers in the poorest states pay tax based on their income. Not only do the Puerto Ricans pay no federal income tax, they've spent themselves into penury and would have expected a bailout had there been no hurricane.

I'm perfectly willing to see my tax dollars go to the Puerto Rican grid as soon as they start paying taxes.
There's a lot of FUD here, starting with SAML being new. SAML 1.0 was ratified in 2002, and SAML 2.0 was ratified in 2005. Compare that to OAuth, with version 1.0 published by IETF in 2010 and version 2.0 in 2012. Likewise, there are multiple, mature SAML implementations including the open source Shibboleth project, which started in 2000, and SimpleSAMLphp, which started in 2007. I consider Shibboleth the gold standard, against which I measure all SAML implementations.

In just the global research and higher educational community (eduGAIN), there are currently 2588 SAML identity providers and 1792 SAML service providers.

> Now, this [golden SAML] attack isn't real practical as it requires things like the "token-signing private key".

It isn't a flaw in the SAML protocol. If an attacker compromises your IAM infrastructure, be that a domain controller, directory server, KDC, IdP, or OP, they can impersonate your users.
Oh, I wasn't even looking at the value of the number. Yeah, it's bad to exaggerate like that without being clear about it. But something performance-heavy can burn out an endurance of 10 drive writes per day pretty fast.

My college dorm was basically a SRO. So the "constraints" bit seems a little far fetched to me. Maybe that is because the individual rooms were still isolated by cinder block walls, but outside of what I would call "Family strife" it was a pretty good living arrangement. A few people sharing a common living room, kitchen and a couple bathrooms. Everyone had their own (~150SQ if I were guessing) bedroom. Which is enough space for a bed, closet, desk, etc. Get tired of the apartment mates fighting over who left something in the fridge, just go in your room close the door and put on some headphones. Instant privacy/peace/safety. Probably more than most people enjoy in normal housing given the thin walls, shared bedrooms, etc. Plus, being a fairly large set of apartment buildings meant that a couple maids to clean the bathrooms, provide TP, and vacuum the common areas significantly reduces domestic strife over most shared living conditions.

That is something I just don't get about homeless shelters and all the restrictions they put in place. Frankly if I were homeless I would have a tendency to live under a bridge, in a tent, whatever long before I put up with the stress of not knowing if I was going to have a bed the next night, or being woken at 6AM and kicked out.
I don't see why this wouldn't work?
I generally don't get too many questions worth putting on interview feedback -- they can ask questions to get the information they need to make a decision.

However I make note of it for two cases. A) when they seem to be trying to ask the 'right questions; especially when they dominate the direction of the interview and we don't have enough time for my technical question. B) when they're asking questions that seem to indicate a preference for process that isn't a good fit for what we do: it doesn't affect my decision, but it may affect theirs, so I'll want to check that it came up with other interviewers and ensure that it's something the candidate is aware of if we give them an offer. Testing and deployment can be a big part of a job, and if you have strong opinions, you may not want to work somewhere that does things 'wrong'

An employee can’t sell their options to an SPV any more than they can sell it to any other investor if their agreement places restrictions on selling (most do now days). While otherwise stating several facts, OP is wrong in his overarching premise that the SPV had basically anything to do with large investors being able to sell their ownership or not.
If I give a bank my cash, it is I who am providing them the service of liquidity, so that they can have money to loan to others (as a service) for interest.

The only way I could find a "bank" with lower fees was to abandon banks altogether and switch to a credit union. I swear it's like all the banks collude to determine market rates for how many and how high of fees they can all charge their customers, to the point where—as a regular consumer—they're all indistinguishable.

Not only are the credit union's fees lower (or non-existent in some cases) the interest rates are higher and there are no shareholders to appease, except for other members of the credit union.
Yeah, I'm wondering if there was a miscommunication between you and FC on that particular point: I cannot imagine a company caring at all who you are talking to about the fact that you're talking to them. You really don't need to tell FC anything about your conversations with your current boss.
