Bravo! This is very well done. Thank you for sharing.
No problem and hope it helps! And yeah, the grinding, in my experience, is very closely related to muscle tension in general. From my research Mg and Zn tend to help by improving nerve function. Another helpful compound I've found is L-Theanine, especially if you drink coffee as I do. It's found in tea and seems to mitigate some of the stress/tension effects of Caffeine.
No employer pays for food outside of work. The vast majority of employers do not pay for housing. No employers are paying for your water supply at home (unless they are paying for housing).

You are confusing employers paying for things that are part of your job and paying for things to cover your entire life. It's ridiculous to tie the latter to your employer because then you have to fear for your life if you lose your job.

AFAIK XMPP is more geared towards IM than microblogging and it's very complex and difficult to get right due to many extensions.
1. Have an IDE that points out the most obvious mistakes.
2. Write test (unit and functional), when you forget about corner cases writing code in TDD style may help, because it makes you think about them before writing the actual code.
3. Write your mistakes down and why you made them.
4. Have githooks that prevent you from pushing code that doesn't pass test
5. Don't feel bad about your mistakes, that's how we learn.

Why? Having many languages allows to pick the sweetspot for each subsystem. Each language has special strengths and weaknesses, there is no silver bullet that excels at everything. Go, C/C++, Lua, Ruby, Perl, Scala, Node.js, Python... each of these are THE best choice for certain classes of problems (and terrible for others). It may be because of language features that elegantly express a solution, or particular efficiency considerations (speed, latency or memory footprint), or integrations with specific libraries (if language X has a lib that does 90% of the requirement, use it instead of reimplementing from scratch in language Y). Also, it may be a team consideration: the talent pool for front-end engineers has different preferences than the talent pool for some back-end systems.

In a large system like Tumblr, they are likely highly distributed with many different subsystems running in different parts of their infrastructure, each with their own SLA and resilience requirements.

Their team is probably large enough that most engineers focus on only some of the subsystems, and communication between them is via defined interfaces.

Though having a diverse ecosystem fosters an openess of mind, instead of enforcing "One Metaphore To Rule Them All". You find yourself borrowing efficient patterns from other environments, as they eventually start cross-pollinating.
Kind of a strange read. I'm a huge fan of Coetzee, but I'm more interested in these photographs for what they can tell me about Coetzee the author (biographically) than I am in their artistic merits. The author of this article seems intent on ascribing an artistry to these photos taken by a teenager that presumes the intentionality of his writing of later years. I'm not saying it's not there, but saying, "[t]he images conjure Waiting for Godot (which Coetzee would not yet, by then, have read)..." seem to undermine the premise.

> Shhhh don't let them know. Funny thing is that Professional Shops and video companies are really starting to embrace these open source libraries.

Oh, I haven't worked there for a few years, but someone I know already brought it to the attention of upper management(pointing out the fact that Amazon reviews for Spyder products literally tell people to use the Open Source libs) and they've basically just ignored it as a whole. Their products are cool, and there were a few great people, but the company itself was... I won't really go further into it.

> The touch bar is a nuisance. The excessively large trackpad leads to a lot of phantom taps, and I'm still using adapters to plug things into it.

Agree on the touch bar. Got myself a USB-C "dock", which does power delivery, USB, and display all in one connector. Truly magic, and made me resent USB-C a lot less.
So, on the one hand, yes definitely.

On the other hand, it's worth digging deeper.

A lot of programming advice is these rules of thumb, and they're mostly good, but they're motivated by underlying principles (which you explain in this particular case). So it's useful to not just have these rules of thumbs, but also to dig deeper and look for underlying motivations.
The vertical plane detection in ARKit is a very welcome addition. One of the main things I wanted to do with ARKit was to see how things will look hanging on my walls, before I actually put them there.
When the fork occurred, Bitcoin's value didn't drop, and Bitcoin Cash's market cap was instantly in the billions. Everyone suddenly had more funny money, but we're somehow supposed to believe "Bitcoin isn't inflationary!" still holds.

It's going to get really exciting at tax time, when people declare bankruptcy, go into a nursing home and need to prove they don't have assets for Medicaid, etc.

> Like you said, SHA256 exploits, or maybe quantum computing would be able to recover them.

That's an insane defense of the point. Sure, if that stuff happens, you'll be able to retrieve lost coins. And non-lost coins. So will everyone else. Bitcoin's value would be instantly zero.
This is an ideal but is hardly scalable if you're doing 3-4+ PRs per day and are expected to do your own coding as well (plus attend bureaucracy).

You can effectively do this by checking that every nontrivial change has sufficient automated test coverage. This saves you from having to test changes yourself and saves future devs from having to go through your thought-process when they touch that code next.

> It's verifiable and falsifiable.

You can verify the representations are not proportionate. There is no evidence that, if no oppression existed, the representations would be proportionate. This is a very basic and clear difference.

The NBA has a very high representation of black men, and a very low representation of Jewish or Hispanic men. This in no way proves racism is rampant in the NBA. The cause is likely other factors, and if you decided to "positively discriminate" against black men to "fix" this problem, you wouldn't actually be "fixing" anything. You'd just be rationalizing discriminating on a racial basis.

Yes, the people that STILL haven't bothered to change from Hotmail even though it's quite easy are more likely to not be good drivers. I don't think the difficulty of changing the factor should matter, in fact I'd say the easier they are to change the more impact they likely have as it may show laziness (higher risk). Having these factors be openly noted however would be important.

Reading well written source code creates a more efficient workflow than reading api docs. For me, the fact that Crystal is written in Crystal gives it a far greater advantage.

In corporate IT, it is an accepted practice to promote people who don't have hands on experience, or who did the job 20 years ago and haven't followed up on the industry trends. They have a hard time admitting that they don't know and refuse to listen to the competent people in their teams. They don't even know who is competent and who is faking it.

Qualcomm has enough assets in the EU to cover the fine. So if they don't pay, some legal process will start grinding, and at the end of that, the police will show up and take enough of these assets to cover the fine.

The answer to both situations is "No" and "No". Many engineering managers have a difficult time saying "no", to the detriment of the business.

We are building a product for customers, not a playground or post-graduate program. There are legitimate reasons to add another language but they must be evaluated with the needs of the business in mind, these include long-term maintenance costs and hiring/training costs regarding new/esoteric skill sets, among others.

> I'm not super familiar with Christian canon but what specific evil did Satan commit?

In the canon and even much conventional theology, it's not clear, and not even clear that Satan is a moral agent capable of doing good or evil. Plus, he doesn't show up much in the canon; there's the bet with God over Job, the test/temptation of Christ, some stuff in Revelation, and the fact that the snake in the Garden of Eden is popularly (though not canonically) identified with Satan.

Milton's work is an artistic take on a popular old non-canonical story that both is influential on shaping images of Satan in Christianity and hard to reconcile some mainstream theology (Christian theology and Christian popular mythology often have a problematic relationship.)

> I'm with you on this part. It's hard to imagine the boom happening while tinkering was outright illegal! Also, surely the 58 year gap (1920-1978) caused some generational loss of knowledge. The homebrewers of the 80s and 90s must have started from scratch in many ways.

This is absolutely true. Find older homebrewing guides from the 80's, and you'll see practices that would seem amateurish to even complete newbie homebrewers today - using baker's yeast instead of specialized strains, limited hop availability and poor packaging, and protections against contamination during fermentation being limited to a towel over a bucket.
No, it was also about who you'd discuss the issue with, even if you knew/suspected that they were disclosed.
Why just the CEO? How about the CFO, the Board of Directors, and Chief Legal Consul? Maybe you could say the CEO is the last line and should be held accountable. It seems to me that you can't really do that since so many people could have been involved or even shielding the CEO from knowledge of the illegal activity. It's probably too onerous to investigate the individuals responsible.

I don't think you are wrong, there should be individuals held accountable.
I'm pretty sure a professional would rather buy a dual-socket Xeon based machine (say 2x E5-1650 v4) that has 4x the memory performance for closer to half the price.
Humble suggestion: add more front end-specific challenges. I do a lot of front end work. I cannot begin to tell you how irritating (infuriating?) it is to have a company express interest, send over a HackerRank test, and then you find out that they picked a bunch of algo questions that have nothing to do with building a UI.

While ironic, if you pay any attention to mission and vision statements in general for government/military organizations it's quite commonplace for such statements to change in opaque and confusing ways, especially so after any change in leadership.

Most of the time it isn't some dark conspiracy but rather someone with enough stars on their shoulder said "Why is this even in the mission statement? Every organization should do that so it's implied, what the mission statement really needs is..."
Why should that tip off your BS detector? There's a long, long, long, long history of amateurs lavishing far far more attention on their rigs than pros ever could. It became a trope in Renaissance literature.

Basically, people get rich doing other things and then dive into their hobbies buying all top-of-the-line gear. Whereas the pro started with nothing and learned the basics, so they are able to get much much better results from substandard gear.

Could Algorithmic Accelerators Spur a Hardware Startup Revival?
The whole article is a bit strange - so much effort into research and putting it all together to have OC monster (which itself is really great read), and on the end simple realization that

- Lightroom is unoptimized piece of shit of an app, it doesn't get fast no matter what hardware you run it on. For gaming-only purposes, this would not be optimal build for given money.
- Maybe, just maybe the whole workflow of his should be addressed more, like selecting only few worthy photos for proper post-process (and thus slashing whole time spent in LR much much more)

Since we talk about Windows, for example super simple Irfan View with RAW module (tiny amazing app, super fast to work with) can do this pre-screening faster than anything else.

Plus at least some parts of LR are truly bad - their panoramas are super slow, and regularly don't stitch things properly where other software performs just fine (Autopano Giga 2, which is also easily 2-3x faster).

I see one about Purse.io, but OK.

Then what are your Google search links intended to convey? That people occasionally have issues with PayPal/Amazon and blame them for the loss of their business? Sure, there'll always be some of those - and some will be failed businesses looking for someone else to blame. I'm sure there are some legit issues to find in those searches, but it's pretty easy to find stories like Mt. Gox to demonstrate that both sets of platforms have their issues.
Yes, but the fine should only cover Qualcomm's EU activities. EU account for about 15% of the smartphone market sales, so it's more like one year worth or EU profits.
Ask HN: Why should an american living outside US pay tax to US?
I think I t would depend on the forum and choice-of-law provisions of the contract itself. If it were entirely under, say, the UK's jurisdiction, common law countries generally permit the nullification of a contract provision that is against public policy (I am an American lawyer, not a U.K. lawyer, and my practice area is not contracts, so take my only-slightly-educated guess with a grain of salt.)

Chances are good it says that any disputes are to be governed by the laws of, say, the State of California. Since California doesn't adopt EU law as its own public policy, it would be likely to enforce the contract (unless it violated California law in some way).
Her wordplay often feels weak (though "hip" seems like an odd way of describing it), but you could probably fit all of it in one page and there are over 2000 pages in the first two books.

(Shallan does suck the air out of the first book to some extent, but she's great in the second IMO.)

I'll take a swing.

Insurance companies have a strong incentive to price policies accurately, so you have to assume that discriminatory decisions are made with that goal in mind. Any restriction on factors that make the model less accurate (like forbidding race) will lead to higher volatility and a lower stock price (insurance companies are prized in portfolio management for their low volatility).

The government, however, recognizes that most people are forced to buy car insurance, which means that they are being forced to pay for those profit-maximizing decisions. And to the extent that being forced to pay can creates a downward spiral of high costs leading to poor decision making and even higher costs, that is something to be prevented.

So where to draw the line? Well, the people most at risk of getting into a downward spiral are the already economically disadvantaged (read:poor). The government already prevents considering whether the insured is poor (either explicitly or implicitly by not allowing questions about income/net worth on applications).

But really, any factor which would tend to disproportionately target the already-poor would need to be limited as well, since that can often become an end-run around the limitation. If you consider the factors that would do that at the population level, race would be very strong indicator of income, but gender would not be. (yes, I know women make less in the same jobs, but we're talking about the macro here, including women who are heads of household, 2-income families, and stay-at-home moms).

Now, it doesn't explain why other factors that would seem to be associated with low income like zipcode are allowed. But to answer your question about why gender is ok to price discriminate against while race is not, I think the answer is we try not to force poor people to pay more for government-mandated things just because they are poor or otherwise exhibit a feature that would characterize them that way to an uninformed observer.
And young women (girls to me) drive less because young men (boys) tend to drive when they are dating. So maybe it's not because of their gender (or perhaps more properly sex here) but because of other "perhaps correlated but not causally linked factors."

With a lot of states changing the requirements for drivers permits to require more training and disallowing multiple occupants under certain conditions when the driver is newly licensed it will be interesting to see if this changes.
