In my experience, my Macs and my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed ThinkPad are about on par in terms of how well they work. The Mac handles some things better, the ThinkPad handles other things better. Stability-wise, they’re all very solid machines.

> Isn't it Upwork are hiring a programmer to work a contract for Thunderbird?

The Mozilla Foundation just forces Thunderbird to use Upwork as the channel to hire people. I think it's obvious that if Thunderbird Council was able to decide, they would never use Upwork.

I would love to migrate to k8s at some point. It would make some things easier. We still need to figure out how to do that without downgrading our existing security configuration -- a lot of it depends on running different services in their own subnets and AWS security roles.

It might be easier now that AWS is starting to support Kubernetes.

>That's the critical point about racism that no one seems to mention though. Every racist person is racist ultimately because of fear.

The thing is, fear can be totally rational and even justified and not your fault. In which case, it's not racism.

E.g. a black in the 30's south fearing of whites (for lynching, beating up, etc) is justified.

But a white feeling superior, and believing those blacks are animals, to be kept in their place, etc, that was actual racism.

[Added] If fact actual racism, from the first land grabs in Americas, to the development of official theories of "race" back in the 18th and 19th centuries (Gobineau, Galton and so on IIRC), is strongly tied to power grab -- painting the other as inferior to morally justify taking other their land and enslaving them. Racism was used as a tool to justify European colonialism, US slavery, Japanese conquests, etc.

Racism without having the upper hand, is hardly racism.

So many ways this could have gone wrong. The taste; the look; the mouth feel could have given it away. People know they are using a placebo; they'll report differently.

Cool, I'd be really interested in seeing that and might try out myself later. It'd be really interesting to see a comparison of the two on optimization problems with a large number of dimensions which stock CMA-ES takes a while (and a lot of samples) to get "warmed up".
Which is neither here, nor there.

We might be "very often ruled by emotion" but there's also an objective reality out there. A black guy flirting with a white woman in the 20's Alabama would indeed find themselves hanging from a tree -- whether they were "objective" or not.

I think that's often down to the technique you use to dry your hands. Used properly, it can do a decent job.

And it's certainly harder to touch the sides which is a problem a lot of people have with the original.

From the part that mentions that they are "international hotels that cater to foreigners" -- so not some local cockroach hotel for junkies and poor people (not to mention the fact that they need to have enough money to travel to an expensive country like Japan in the first place -- 2/3rds of the world couldn't even afford the tickets with a year's salary).

And from the other part that mentions "business hotels" and especially ones that "explicitly discourage foreigners". Except if those are the rare kind of business hotels for poor destitute businessmen.

I learned Python 1.4 on DOS (with DJGPP). I think there were binary releases, but you couldn't use them if you needed any third-party C modules. There was no dynamic linking on DOS so you needed to statically link any C code you were using into python.exe. This was a huge pain but it also taught me a ton about both C and Python.

Sure, but in every environment? If a developer is pushing a feature that's mostly business logic, it's probably okay to test in a single-AZ environment. Given their setup, it looks like they still have QA and a final go-no-go test in staging. Issues from a multi-AZ or multi-region setup, should be infrequent enough that you don't need to catch them at the development stage.

I'd wager that they'd have far more issues from sharing a development environment between developers who are all pushing unreleased code to the same environment than they'd have from differences with the production environment. It should be pretty easy for a developer to spin up a simplified environment on demand from a branch or specific commit to do their testing. As a bonus, anyone reviewing code can spin up a similar environment from a pull request to ensure that code does what they think it does.

Infrastructure as code is a good first step. Embracing the freedom you get from that reproduceability is the next step.

One major problem with Ted's design is that it wasn't simple enough to support multiple compatible implementations.

I'll repeat the James Clark quote from the wonderful DDJ interview that I posted to the other discussion about Ted Nelson:

There's a wonderful DDJ interview with James Clark called "A Triumph of Simplicity: James Clark on Markup Languages and XML" where he explains how a standard has failed if everyone just uses the reference implementation, because the point of a standard is to be crisp and simple enough that many different implementations can interoperate perfectly.

The biggest challenge I've seen so far to find a co-founder is that you need good reasons to spend time with the person before you screw anything because you actually dont "match" with the person. The process is awkward socially.

Therefore, meeting someone for the reason of wanting to co-found a company is probably not the best way to find a cofounder. Going back to university or going to hackatons works probably better.

Though, maybe what would work as an app for example would be to collaborate on fake projects because that way you sure you wont screw anything.
"Amazon said it would create as many as 50,000 jobs with an average compensation of $100,000, but that number is contingent upon how many people it transfers from its Seattle office."

I still fall back to perl for experimental/recreational programming. Possibly because it is the first scripting language I really felt fluent in, but I think just because it is so quick and flexible to write.

>* I literally cannot use Snapchat and Tinder at the same time - it causes them both to crash.*

So maybe that's in Tinder and Snapchat? Why would it be the iOS's fault? I use 100s of other apps (never used those 2), and don't have a problem.

>Turning off wifi and bluetooth no longer actually turns them off, and so I have lost all control over my own device's power usage.

That's an explicit decision from Apple, and is meant to make it easier to use their BT/WiFi based peripherals, not some software fault caused by a bug. Besides that's only true for the shortcut menu -- you can still switch off both totally from the Preferences.
It's still the case. I can't find it on mobile, but I asked a StackOverflow question and later answered it myself after discovering something like this buried in the AWS documentation.

Ask HN: Career advice, senior chill job, remote?
I'm a programmer in my 40s who is currently stuck at a consulting contract where I seem to be one of few people who actually care. People take sick leave, etc, are unprepaired, and I'm expected to be a senior guy doing architecture decisions for my team and sometimes even help out with requirements as well as do development. I would much prefer to work more focused with programming at a product development company and spend much of the development time from home. It should be a chill atmosphere where people can be relaxed but still productive. I hate open offices and feel my energy is depleted. I spend so much time and energy explaining even basic things to non-technical customers.

I find it really hard to find good opportunities where my requirements of a good atmosphere, good chairs (not IKEA crap!), good boss, good equipment (mac + monitor), etc, can be me met.

Dammit, why is it so hard to find a job that is up to par to what I want to offer. I also don't want to work with insecure nerds in a small startup apartment office either. What have other people in a similar situation done?

My main goal is to get better work-life-balance by working more from home (less brain stress from open offices and annoying meetings) and ability to ship good stuff to satisfied customers and put pride into the product and keeping customers happy.

I find it really hard to be an experienced/senior developer and simply get a programmer role. People want me to take an architecture/scrum-master role too which I just don't want. If I could improve my work-life-balance by working from home, I could get to the gym more frequently and get some of my energy back. Any thoughts or ideas?

The sound is re-constructed from the shaking of the leaves. It's quite analogous to the way the sound is initially constructed from the vibration of a speaker membrane. The difference being that the medium of vibration which is used to propagate the "sound" is digital video rather than air.

Yup. Interestingly, actual speakers work either way too. Reverse the polarity on them and you can use them as a crappy microphone.

> That's a reference to their [Nylos]* attempt to donate their code and energy towards improving Thunderbird.

(*My edit in brackets) You meant towards improving Nylas Mail, not Thunderbird? If not, I don't get any sense in this argument, it sounds like Nylas was reaching out Mozilla to replace Thunderbird with their re-licensed Nylas Mail. I'm not sure that ever happened (and I'm not sure GPL is a totally suitable license for Mozilla Foundation[1]). If you made a typo and meant "Nylas Mail", then I get your argument about development, but I see how community (me included) would be reluctant to make any contributions into a not entirely free product without forking.

> Huh?

Simply put, I'm fully agree that upstream Thunderbird could clearly indicate their will to move off Gecko to stimulate code contributions from community. I see how it might work out for the already popular, long time-tested, free Thunderbird, but I don't believe Nylos Mail is the same case here.

I'm currently building one for fun using a Raspberry Pi and a cheap GPS module from Aliexpress. I don't think a lot of hobbyists do it, but it's pretty common for stuff like datacenters to have their own local GPS disciplined NTP server.

It's not that hard to make one yourself by the way, and the hardware costs about $15. At the pro level you can get rack mount units with GPS + an on board TXCO/OXCO/rubidium frequency reference. You can probably get one with a cesium reference too, but I don't think that's much use outside a metrology lab (and will cost a fortune).

> It fascinates me that Americans tolerate this kind of behavior.

They don’t have a choice to “tolerate” it or not. America is a completely free market internally, with no legal, language, or cultural barriers to companies moving around. States are perfectly free to offer more attractive terms to companies, and other states can either match those offers, or watch their economies pack up and move to Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, etc.

That said, lack of corporate taxation isn’t to blame for America’s ills. If you compare the US to Germany, Canada, or France, you don’t see those latter countries taxing corporations more. Indeed, the total tax burden is probably less. (Not just the paper rate, but the actual average tax rate after “loopholes”). The French “real” corporate tax rate is almost half of what it is in the US (the on-paper rate is like 1/3 of the US). They also don’t really tax their rich people more. Someone making a million dollars a year would pay similar taxes in New Jersey as in Canada or Germany. A Californian might pay less.

No, the real reason America’s public services are crumbling are (1) we are extraordinarily inefficient; (2) we tax the middle class far less than Canada, Germany, etc.
