> Similar happened in France and French Quebec. Modern French is formalized Parisian french. While Canadian French is country French, according to a very posh friend, the most educated québécois still sounds like a country hick the first time he hears them.

You got it backward. Modern French is bourgeois Parisian French. It was standardized more than a century after the French revolution (in the 1880's when public education became mandatory).

When Québec was colonized in the 1600's, only a handful of territories in France spoke French, mostly around Paris. This was the language of the court, the nobility and a minority of peasants. The rest of the country spoke various languages, such as Caló, Catalan, Corsican, Franco-Provençal, Ligurian, Occitan, Flemish, Luxembourgish, Alsatian, Breton, and Basque [1]. Furthermore, Parisian French was only one of the d'Oïl languages spoken at the time [2].

The colonists that settled and explored Québec were mostly from northern France, the region where an Oïl language was spoken. The language spoken in the colony was standardized to match the one of the royal administration (Parisian French).

Due to not being a French Territory when the revolution happened, Québec kept a fork of Royal French. Reading written french from the 1600's and 1700's out loud is striking, as it's almost identical the pronunciation of modern Québécois French. An example of this is the term "Moi", spelled Moé in the 1700's and pronounced Mo-a (Moi) by modern continental French and Mo-Hey (Moé) in Québécois French.

My favorite progress bar implementation is in Hadoop because Hadoop breaks problems into small chunks that are (almost always) predictable so it can give a good ETA even at a few percent level.

your analogy would work if parent comment would say “just eat meat carefully”.

overall it makes sense to reduce meat consumption, because if you look deeper in reasons for antibiotics use in meat industry, mainly it is used as a consequence of high demand for meat, to reduce risk of diseases in overpopulated farms, while feeding animals growth hormones and stuffing as much food as possible to ensure quick growth, so yeah, if people would reduce consumption, then supply would adjust accordingly, and then even organic meat producers would become viable option to meet demands.
Temporarily I guess it would drive the price down, and then production would adjust to meet the lowered demand.

Think about it this way: if the number of meat eaters halved overnight, meat would be really cheap for a while, then a bunch of producers would go out of business and prices would rise again, and prices would stabilise again once production was half what it used to be.
It works very well for moderate changes. Look into the history of Boycotts and they have actually changed quite a bit about how several industries work.

Antibiotics is actually a fairly minor benefit to the meat industry, so it's a winning strategy assuming significant popular support.
The point is to illegally skirt regulations and obfuscate transactions. Many crypto believers are quite forthright about their anarchist bent.

Even a cursory attempt at second-order thinking might be enough to disabuse a reasonably intelligent person of such delusions. There’s also a funny tautology to be had here: when you design something to achieve anarchy... you get anarchy.

But really who gives a shit when you’re swimming in piles of cash? I certainly wouldn’t. And then again, once they reset to equilibrium and emerge from the stupor, they might feel more bad about what they wrought than the money feels good.
> exactly what sort of job are you wanting? "Seeking full time salaried JavaScript/Java developer"

I've heard conflicting advice on that. Is an objective really necessary? I have more than one thing that I"m interested in, so there's more than one reason I could be really excited for a job. It seems like that statement might be too specific for general applications, and not specific enough to explain why I'm excited about that one job. It sounds like something I would put in a cover letter or email.

This thread has effectively devolved to "humans will be humans" vs "we can build systems that make us better humans". I don't disagree with your jaded stance that humans will be humans.

Since this article talk about fish farms there is very obvious solution and that is eat wild caught fish, preferable from places where there is either a overpopulation or where there are invasive species. Plenty of such meat in the world where eating it would have a net-positive on the environment.

Know one lake where the price of the overpopulated fish species in it is so low that just transporting it to a cat food factory would be a loosing deal.

I'd expect for a decision like this, there would in fact be some subconscious (or even conscious!) ideas like "Obviously Detroit should be high on the list, if it isn't then our weights must be off," or alternatively "Detroit's proposal just doesn't look good for X reason, if it's high on the list then we should add a column about X." It's not totally unreasonable to expect that these ideas can be influenced by the usual ways that you influence humans, even if those humans work at Amazon.
My use case for swap: 10 dev environments on a cheap-ass AWS server. Where each environment is about 5 docker images.

They are slower, but to give every branch a fully usable test system is pretty awesome. No reason to pay through the butt for RAM for tier-1 dev environments. You can also have a premium dev environment for the develop branch on a different server.

If you’d rather eat meat all day, then you’re probably saying this problem is not important enough to you. Which is totally fine, it’s your choice. I just want you to realise you have a choice.

Ask HN: How do tech companies typically use job references?
Hi folks,

I'm planning to leave my current position soon. This position is my first job out of college. I'm looking for senior SDE roles. I'm aware that I'm going to be asked for references by a number of companies. I have some questions:

- How important are references, typically? Are they just a sanity check after a successful round of interviews? Or are they more important?

I understand it's different depending on the company. I have no insight into how tech companies use references. Historically, for internships I've accepted, my references have never been contacted.

- Is providing solely peers (including senior peers, like team leads) or direct reports (e.g. interns I've managed and mentored) as references okay? Is not including a manager a red flag?

I don't want my manager to know I'm leaving until I've accepted an offer elsewhere and have given notice. On top of that, our relationship has been a bit cool as of late. I don't think I can trust him/her to give me a glowing reference. My relationship with my current co-workers, however, is excellent (as well as past interns I've mentored/managed). I know they'll give me some great and truthful references. In addition, I think my co-workers are better positioned to assess my skills as a software engineer; we do code reviews and design reviews and talk shop together daily, but my manager rarely participates. Moreover, I rarely see or speak to my manager and I honestly don't feel he/she has an accurate picture of me or my skills.

Thanks folks!

Edit: When I say tech companies, I'm referring primarily to Bay Area companies (e.g. Google, Facebook, mid-sized startups, unicorns, etc...). I'll be interviewing for offices located within the US.

That "thing" that you're referring to is handled by Ansible, and not by YAML. It uses the Jinja2 templating engine. And I would assume Ansible uses some sort of scoping order/rules in order to provide values for the template generation.

E.g. look here in the Ansible docs:

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_loops.html#...

It provides a construct that allows you to loop over a sub-list of YAML items, and then let's you use the looped-variable in a string-substitution via the templating language. That's the name: "{{ item }}" that you see there.

Edit. Typo
I have an Onhub with four chromecasts and five google homes and have experienced the issues described. I noticed that sometimes if I wake my galaxy s7, other devices in the room might lose connectivity for a few seconds. I couldn't place why it would happen sometimes but not others, but this makes sense. I wonder if it might also explain why if a media app is casting and goes to sleep, it forgets that it's casting when it wakes up.
My original comment is in the sense of avoiding premature optimization. For a typical app you likely won’t see the difference.
At least they have a chance to fight for their survival, which makes all the difference. If it's horrible when done to humans, it's horrible when done to animals. And as long as we keep doing it to animals, we shouldn't expect to escape the same fate ourselves; Karma 101.

After reading the resume, I'm not sure what you have done or could do to help.

For example, "Fluent in Javascript ES6. Proficient in Java, other common languages, and several web frameworks," tells nothing about what you actually did to benefit an employer or use a technology.
That's a pretty big 'not the same'.
Having hired many people, let me tell you how I use the “education”: if you attended the same school as I did I look yo up in the alumni directory. If you attend the same school as one of my colleagues (and Ihappen to know where they went to school which I mostly do t) I have them look you up. Other than that I ignore it. Experience is what matters.
Not specific to your resume itself, but be careful of your phrasing when speaking to potential employers. You mentioned in your OP that you do design work. And here you’re throwing out a statement that could instill doubt related to your competency with design work.

Others have given you fantastic feedback on the resume itself, so I won’t go there. But I wanted to point out how easy it is to add in extraneous details while speaking that can undermine otherwise solid interviews. The above could have the entire middle cut out and say “Extremely helpful. I’ll revisit - thank you” and an interviewer would see it as being open to feedback and a net positive. With your original statement, they’d see “lacks confidence in design skills, but mentioned design skills. Wonder what other listed skills they’re not sure about” and the positive component of being open to feedback would be lost.

Your openness may just be due to this not being an interview environment. But wanted to point it out just in case. :)
That is probably true (that they don't act like growth hormones) but last I visited the subject, scientist don't know exactly why, but antibiotics actually do increase growth in some livestock.
It's worse than that - the meat industry uses antibiotics on perfectly healthy animals as a growth enhancer. This is pure profit motive, nothing to do with veterinary care.

> (which is actually of dubious security value anyway)

FYI the value isn't necessarily in stopping AWS from maliciously reading your data if they wanted to (though it does make that slightly more difficult too), it's knowing that your data can't be easily recovered by someone who has access to the physical hard drives it's stored on. A typical scenario would be someone who knows where old drives are disposed of once they leave the data center - presumably AWS takes measures to wipe/destroy such drives, but knowing that the underlying data is encrypted at rest is extra assurance. There's also value for people whose compliance requirements dictate data is encrypted at rest regardless of cost and whether it actually makes sense to do.

It's been done in the past. Church laws forbidding the eating of meat on certain days have been a thing. Of course, most people who have the means would choose to eat meat as often as possible, and so you get things like fish not being classed as meat (leaving aside other considerations like these sorts of restrictions acting as subsidies to merchant fishing fleets, with knock-on effects for early modern naval preparedness).

Or people just ignore stupid, unenforceable laws and net respect for the law as an absolute is decreased.

Note that many tablets support things equivalent to f.lux. Apple tablets do, I believe. So does Surface Pro and probably many other Windows based tablets [1].

A lot of people claim that the Kindle Paperwhite does not need it because the display is not back lit. (The lights are on the edge, and there is a transparent light guide in front of the eInk display that directs this light so that it shines on the eInk from the front and reflects off it to you).

This seems like complete bullshit to me, because I can not see any way that the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in your eye could possibly tell if photons come from a front lit display or a back lit display. All they should care about is the wavelength and the intensity.

That's not to say that the claims that the Paperwhite doesn't need a reduced blue light mode aren't true--I'm just saying that if they are true it isn't because it is not back lit. It would be because they are using a light source with less blue, or the eInk display absorbs blue so that it does not reflect much blue from the light source.

Speaking of reducing blue light at night...I've wondered if what is important is the absolute amount of blue light or the relative amount compared to daytime levels. The intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells signal the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain with the amount of blue light they are receiving. The SCN responds to changes in that to control circadian rhythms.

If the SCN is just watching the levels and looking for them to cross certain fixed thresholds, then at night we'd need to make sure we drop blue light below certain absolute levels.

If, on the other hand, the SCN is looking for relative changes, such as blue light dropping to below some percentage of the peak over the last 12 hours, or over some kind of average over the last several hours, then instead of working to eliminate blue light at night it should be possible to achieve the same effects by increasing blue light during the day.

So instead of trying to find software to reduce the blue light on every screen in my house (an increasingly hard thing to do as more and more things have screens), I should be able to install lights that have very high blue levels and have them on during the day, to push the blue light threshold high enough that when I turn those lights off I am below it even though my TV and other screens do not have low blue light modes.

[1] Windows in general supports it, but I believe it requires some support from the GPU, so whether or not it works on a particular tablet depends on the hardware.
