Can you elaborate as to what kind of position that would be? I don't see, for example, why an attempt to mandate Clipper chip style key escrow would be a sensible policy.
I would have used this every weekend I drove home from college (~3 hours), back when I was in college. Especially if I could just get paired with someone on campus going to some city along the way, but I'd also be down to pick people up on cities along the way as well.

1+ hour trips sound like a perfect opportunity for this. I'm a kind of get-in-at-the-last-minute guy at work, but I'd probably also pick up a person or two per week on the drive home, when I don't mind a little delay.
The post I was responding to wanted it enumerated as a human right. As you say, our rights are reserved to us and we should be enumerating the right of the government.

I wish people would see this for what it is. The head of the FBI shouldn't be lobbying for laws. He should be working within the boundaries of the law. He shouldn't be lobbying to take something away from many because a few may abuse it and it would make his job more difficult.
I know it's four days later but this might be one of the most condescending arrogant things that I have every read on Hacker News.

Really? Business is so magical that someone with a Computer Science degree couldn't possibly understand business.

As a manager or CEO it is your job to make sure everyone in the company understands the mission and what is needed to get there. And that everyone is empowered to act on a daily basis to move that mission forward.

A leader realizes that the people on their team have insights and knowledge that they do not. A good leader empowers not dictates. You sir, have some lessons to learn.

There is a reason so many great companies are founded by software engineers. Based on your logic those should all fail because Software Engineers should just stick to coding not thinking about what is best for the business.
In their case, why not stat the path directly?

This is about Redshift, Amazon's cloud-based data warehousing tool. Auditing and logging every individual access made by data analysts, engineers, and others making use of Redshift would make their jobs impossible. One day of queries would take weeks to audit and validate a legitimate use case for all the individual data that got touched, and if you're just going to say "oh they needed everyone's PII because it was a big analytical query like they do all day", you're back at square one.

The reality is that some people are going to need wide-reaching access. You could monitor for certain problematic access patterns, like someone who is supposed to be doing primarily aggregate queries doing a lot of specific ones, and I'm sure that'd be a good thing to do, but to be honest there are probably much higher priorities since employees who need sensitive access are probably going to be able to avoid that type of detection.

It is possible to run older MacOS installs in QEMU under MacOS or Linux on a real Mac.

So if you need 32 bit MacOS apps just run an older MacOS in an emulator.

On Windows they shut out 16 bit apps in 64 bit Windows but DOSBOX and Windows 3.1 under DOSBOX solve that via emulation.
Moviepass is likely running negative gross margins on those expensive urban theaters and this is a hardball tactic to get AMC to the negotiating table to bring those visit costs down. It is a risky move given the Moviepass provides no other direct value to the theaters outside of demand aggregation (putting aside the data play). Given the theater business is somewhat of an oligopoly, we may see the theaters react by consolidating (through partnerships, or outright) in order to increase supplier power. This will be an interesting story to watch as the conflict plays out.

The level up from DNA is proteins, the molecules that actually do stuff. These are relatively structured:
Primary structure is the amino acid sequence.

Secondary is the structures that from out of the primary sequence:
Helices coil, like DNA except except only a single helix not double. Double and triple helices (see keratin and collagen respectively) are more like winding 2 or 3 single helices around themselves, and
Sheets: two or more strands that bond to each other either parallel or antiparallel.

Then it starts to get interesting. These secondary structures form domains which are the functional subunit of proteins that actually do (or are in the case of non-enzymes) stuff. These are the equivalent of structured programming. E.g. join an antibody variable domain (the bit that stick to stuff) to an enzyme, inject it into the bloodstream and you get expression on the enzyme wherever the antibody happens to bind (e.g. to a cancer cell).

(Tertiary and quaternary structure refer to the complete protein and to proteins that form a functional unit with other proteins respectively.)

The OO analogy is like the OO analogy for HDLs, the protein _is_ an object. OS is whole organism level.

Huh. nmap cares not about wan vs lan.
It would be different if each shift only contained 1/3 of the workforce at a time. Rush hour(s) should contain much less traffic volume this way (since now there are what, 3 of them per day?). Overall there would be a slight increase in continuous traffic volume (as in at any given time of the day/night more people would be out and about).

I do wonder if cities could benefit from a 24 hour schedule. Sure, during first shift the cities near me are bustling with people and activity. Second shift there are still people about and things to do, but after 8pm or so most cities around here start to look barren. Third shift. Shoot, it's me, the police, the newspaper delivery drivers and pretty much no one else.
Sure INSERTs do, but I personally would have guessed COPY does its work in a single transaction, which under the scenes I would hope would avoid rebuilding the index until the transaction is committed?

I admit there’s no reason to expect this other than “so you don’t have to do the dumb drop/recreate indexes” trick... maybe I just expected COPY to be smarter than just expanding into a set of insert statements.
So they're finally switching from Google STT to Mozilla Deepspeech, but that project includes no pre-learned models IIRC. So where is MyCroft getting its data from? Or is Mozilla releasing models in 2018?
>Linear programming (also called linear optimization) is an applied field of mathematics often used in operations research and planning. It attempts to find an optimal solution to a planning problem when a set of business constraints exist.

No, linear programming is an applied field of mathematics that attempts to find an optimal solution to a goal within a system which is under some sort of constraint(s). Whether those constraints are business constraints is irrelevant; the theory exists outside of any particular application.

“Who am I”?
You are joking. That's like saying Amazon has AI service on the scale of google. No google customer service has unfortunately a very long way to go. Give google a million machines and it can train it to the nth degree. But solving silly human problems was never its strength.
You left out the critical ingredient: the company has to have remote-first DNA. If they aren't set up to handle that style of employee, its going to result in a hire that feels isolated and who will very probably experience being passed over for anything interesting. Remote-first implies all kinds of things, up to and including having slack convos with someone sitting one desk over, and most companies just don't care enough to put the effort in to make a truly remote friendly workplace.
The comparison doesn't make sense in a vacuum.

If you live in Hollywood and the job you want is in Santa Monica, then you would add some time for that. If the remote ob is just as good, you could save some time and not go to Santa Monica.

If your ideal job is already down the street from where you live, then remote doesn't offer much commute advantage.

Could it be argued that enforcing helmets, and its effect of decreasing riding numbers, has helped reduce accident numbers? Because perhaps people who refuse to wear helmets shouldn't be on the road. If you were to still include the numbers of those people leaving bike riding, would numbers be in favour of helmets?

It's hard for me to face stats like these. I can't imagine a world without helmets, much like cars without seatbelts.

Why are people trying so hard to kill mandatory helmets, can they honestly do that much damage?

In many jurisdictions, accepting payment for a ride causes you to be a taxi service, and regulated like one. I wonder how Waze would deal with this!
Fun fact: being poor means more than likely your credit score is low, which also means you pay more to insure a probably worse car. Because you know, your income dictates your likelihood to have an accident.
> the current problem is that you don't want to have to copy all file descriptors if all you're going to do is call "exec" and reduce them to three: in, out, err.

To be clear, exec does not necessarily close all but the first three fds -- by default all fds will be inherited. However, you can set the close-on-exec flag on each individual fd (in fact, that's what the Go stdlib does behind the scenes).

Search for FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(2) and open(2) and you'll see what I'm referring to.

I spoke to some of the gRPC folks at KubeCon/CNCon and the word is that browser support is in the works. There are some existing, slightly hackish ways to do it already but I'm confident that they will get it done properly.

The Mexican Border-Crossing App That Suddenly Disappeared
I've never enjoyed driving, and I'm not in a super-expensive area. If I had a longer commute, I'd probably find something more than the radio to listen to, but we're talking about close to an hour a day band-aiding over something I find unpleasant.

It's a perk in the sense that you're not paying bay area rents. If you're in a high CoL area and want to say, applying to remote positions is an uphill battle, as the chief reason most companies want to look remote is to expand their recruiting reach without raising wages, and hoping to lower them.

To be fair, the honest among us will admit that it's not unusual to miss something glaringly obvious for an embarrassingly long amount of time.

The difference is really in whether you recognize the issue and quietly hope no one finds out how dumb you really are, or whether you make a big celebratory blog post about the secret behind your "pioneering" work, making sure that your title and first and last name are clearly attached. And of course, we can't fail to highlight the further brilliance of accomplishing this marvelous feat by employing "rarely used, low-level" commands from within the framework's ORM.

Hold on to your butts, because next week he's going to learn that you can execute commands directly on the server, without even having to use the "low-level" elements of an ORM! I can't wait for the field to be revolutionized by Lead Developer James Gordon's next discovery.

At first I was about to write why this is dumb and you should not be liable for not having an insurance. But while spelling it out I realized that it's perfectly reasonable for the owners of vehicles (and other licensable, high-possible-damage-dealing and really-accessible-to-almost-anyone things) to have a compulsory insurance. Just because there's reasonable probability to cause more damage than you can compensate on your own, which reasonable person should understand (that being a requirement for having a license). And if you don't then it's negligence.

This is not exactly true. An assignment is a value, you can do e.g.

int a = b[x] = 0;

(which implies that you can do your array-index assignments at the global level by creating nonsensical/unused variables and initializing them).

I’ve never understood why Apple doesn’t allow other browser engines on iOS.

The great thing about Neistat is the way he tells a history. About him, about a product, about a trip. Beme News has never tried tell any history.
Great, this is why we have a constitution and bill of rights - he has no legal obligation to speak to them, and of course, if by accident he said something that was incorrect (“I had tuna for lunch” when he actually had salmon) he would be guilty of breaking a federal law, “lying to a federal officer”.

Apple's App Review guidelines used to say something along the lines of "If you have a problem, trashing us in the press never helps." I'm not trying to place judgment on Puffin, but this seems to be the wrong strategy. False negative App Store rejections are typically due to a misunderstanding than a nebulous "corporate greed" angle... or sometimes they were even (at least sort of) justified in the first place [0].

Basically, the spacecraft needs a transponder to communicate with Earth. The transponder is attached to a circuit breaker. For various reasons, the circuit breaker can flip off. When this happens, it sends an "I'm off" status bit to the spacecraft's power control computer, which in turn flips the circuit breaker back on.

The problem is that the transponder circuit breaker, if it switches rapidly, turns itself off without setting the "I'm off" status bit. Since the spacecraft computer doesn't know the transponder circuit breaker is off, it never commands it back on. Consequently, the spacecraft can't send or receive commands and becomes useless.

The paper speculates that one way to break out of this state might be to wait for an eclipse that lasts long enough to drain the onboard batteries, causing the whole spacecraft to lose power. When the spacecraft boots up again after exiting the eclipse restores power, the power control computer will unconditionally command the transponder circuit breaker on, restoring connectivity --- basically, waiting for orbital geometry to turn the whole thing off and on again.

There's more. You might think: "Well, just add a bit of code to the main onboard computer to unconditionally reset the circuit breaker every so often. Hacky, but it works, right?"

Nope. If I'm understanding this right, the power display computer (which doesn't appear to be programmable) is designed to ignore transponder power control commands from the main computer. The paper doesn't explain the reasoning for this resign, but I suspect it's probably to guard against software bugs causing exactly the scenario that the circuit breaker hardware bug caused. So in an attempt to guard against a software bug, the designers lost the ability to work around a hardware bug.

Maybe you could program the software to notice that it hasn't gotten commands for a while and deliberately rotate itself into an orientation that causes a power loss and reset? I'm guessing that the solar panels are arranged in such a way that it wouldn't work, and the attitude control fuel consumption might be excessive.
