Sorry for the late response. I overlooked this. Go see a doctor. Never fuck around with double vision. Especially not with vertical one. And make sure to AVOID horizontal prisms. They never work as a solution except in cases of actual muscle /paralysis/, i.e. via the nerve, and not just muscle "weakness". The muscle weakness theory of strabismus and diplopia seems akin to a load of hogwash, as it fails to pass even the simplest human bioenergetics(and I mean the scientific field that deals with caloric distribution & thermoregulation, not the - unfortunately more well known - hurdur pseudoscience term.) litmus tests:

If given a sufficient nutrient supply and an issue stemming from muscle strength, then exercise alone must suffice to grow the muscle. If the issue stems from muscle length, then exercises alone must have the capability to lead to elongative growth. However, this requires an incentive to LOOK IN THE RIGHT WAY instead of supressing the image. As a theory, it fundamentally confuses cause with effect. Yes of course the muscles become unbalanced - as a CONSEQUENCE of the neurologically originated suppressive (amblyopiatic[sic]) action of averting the gaze of one eye to ensure the brain doesn't have to keep on encountering statistical near misses that waste neurological resources.

If our muscles had some kind of "critical period", then people who didn't hit the gym as children couldn't ever gain muscles in a gym as adults. A clearly absurd notion, thus, via reductio ad absurdum, QED.

Well, it's not always an advantage. It's just the consequences of a different locking philosophy.

Windows patches are a much bigger pain in the ass to deal with on a month-to-month basis, but Linux patches can really bite you.

Example 1:

Say I have an application 1 that uses shared library X, and a application 2 that spawns an external process every 5 minutes that uses library X and communicates in some way with application 1. Now let's say that library X v2.0 and v2.1 are incompatible, and I need to apply an update.

On Windows, if I update this program, it will keep running until the system is rebooted. Updates, although they take significant time due to restarts, are essentially atomic. The update either applies to the entire system or none of the system. The system will continue to function in the unpatched state until after it reboots.

On Linux, it's possible for application 1 to continue to run with v2.0 of the shared library, while application 2 will load v2.1, and suddenly your applications stop working. You have to know that your security update is going to cause this breaking change and you need to deal with it immediately after applying the update.

Example 2:

A patch is released which, unbeknownst to you, causes your system to be configured in a non-bootable state.

On Windows, you'll find out immediately that your patch broke the system. It's likely (but not certain) to reboot again, roll back the patch, and return to the pre-patched state. In any event, you will know that the breaking patch is one that was in the most recently applied batch.

On Linux, you may not reboot for months. There may be dozens or hundreds of updates applied before you reboot your system and find that it's not in a bootable state, and you'll have no idea which patch has caused your issue. If you want your system in a known-working state, you'll have to restore it prior to the last system reboot. And God help you if you made any configuration changes or updates to applications that are not in your distro's repository.

> They never had their car stolen and if they did, their insurance would have replaced it.

You'll be a fun thicket convincing your insurance your car was hacked. Especially if it turns out to be true. Nobody has rulebooks for that one yet.

If you have really good insurance, perhaps you'd end up driving a loaner for a few months.
Fully agree here; a lot (most?) of patches and updates are simply not exploitable in the respective server use case, so why should I incur risk of downtime to apply it?

> Don't get me wrong: movements certainly can and do go "too far"[1], but in about 100% of the cases, the political activism that has brought us where we are was viewed as having gone too far (the American revolution and the abolitionist movement included).

Sure, by some. It's also true that in about 100% of cases where people have argued for legitimately bad social change (eugenics, communism, prohibition, etc.), those people (and their allies) cast their opponents as immoral and regressive.

It's like Carl Sagan said: "The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

Today on Twitter I saw a conservative arguing that people who deny the personhood of a fetus are like slaveowners who denied the personhood of slaves. As a radical leftist, I doubt you'd agree with that. But this person is just as convinced as you that they are the progressive on this issue.

So we need a better heuristic than "people arguing social change are probably right." Some are right, others are not.
Most people believe you shouldn't have the right to take a risk they wouldn't take themselves.

This is pretty much basis of the majority of laws on the books to be honest.
Shame.

Especially now that social responsibility has decoupled from privilege.

Such duty and stewardship helped justify and bring balance to their privilege in days past. No longer.

Americans often put as much sugar in coffee as they do in soda. If I'm going to drink a sugary beverage in the morning, it may as well be something I like.
$1B? That’s insane. I know I know the transaction fee... but wow. So many startups like Dropbox can’t even make $1B for a long time until recently.
I see. Yes, that's a fair point that I think maybe I've gotten a little numb to because the place I work at kind of has the opposite bias (i.e., "we got burned in the past so now you have to fight tooth and nail to be allowed to introduce tools that would make work on the project significantly more productive").
I think you missed the point I was attempting to make. So I’ll try again. Yes, the healthcare system is very distorted - but that is entirely common for the US.

The Scotsman here in particular is a truly free market.
Pedantic? You described the distinction between UI and UX, you just described it incorrectly.

To answer you question, no. Such people usually design interactions. Behavior. What happens when the user clicks or scrolls or drags. So they're designing UI and they're called UI designers. UX is a step removed, defining the overarching design language for the app and how it makes users feel.

In my experience there are no people who work only on the visual layout of a page and not on behavior (what you incorrectly called UI). Mockup artists maybe, but even they are usually thinking about behavior.

Because people will typically use Google maps, and Google only provides one month of offline map data before it demands to be put online again to "refresh" that data.

Honestly, the way Google changes the goal posts and rearranges the furniture within its own apps, I stay well clear of that mess when I need consistency and reliability. My phone remains a phone when I'm driving and need an uninterrupted, non-internet, non-phone navigation device.
Yes but visual design always includes interaction and behavior. A position that only lays out visual elements with no regard to behavior would be called an artist.
You’d have to cache an available copy, wait for updated data, and then compare the two, to produce a diff. I’d imagine (or hope) there’s a process behind the scenes that slows down and selectively fragments the availability of new data, so that such diffs are too coarse to be revealing. Annual updates, staggered by decoupled groupings, being an ideal strategy.

In general though, just knowing that an event has ever occurred thanks to the map, circadian rhythms often take care of the rest, since it’s a map of (mostly recreational) human activity.
To HN readers who are unaware of this show, let me just say: this is a Very Good show. It's clever, and it's funny, and it's remarkably good-natured despite the premise. It's full of blink-and-you'll-miss-them jokes, ridiculous situations, and plenty of philosophy references. The plot frequently moves at a mile-a-minute, so it never feels like it's stuck in a rut. The actors are all wonderful. It's just really solid all around.
While true, that's not really the point of the parent comment.
One big issue is that research is getting privatized.

In the past it was common that researchers would go to research institutes such as the Fraunhofer institutes, and do research there. The research would be published, patented, and licensed. From the fees, the Fraunhofer institutes fund themselves.

Now this is being replaced by companies doing the research in-house, where it's often kept as trade secret, or, if it's patented, never licensed to competitors. This limits innovation.

I'm not sure how we can protect the German research societies, but it'd be a shame to see this continue. Research done by companies is inherently unfair, and gives them a competitive advantage.

In this case, of course, Google opened their codecs, but for example with Waymo's self-driving technology, that won't happen. Ideally, every carmaker could license the best selfdriving technology as soon as it exists.

This is relevant to this discussion because the Fraunhofer group has previously created mp3 and AAC, and those patents have funded hundreds of further openly available research projects
Love it-you had me at 'childish and stupid'
People don't behave like you want them to. "What you want someone to do" is a story, and in my experience, people respond to incentives, not stories.

If you want people to catch rats to curb the rat problem and you pay for rat tails, people end up lopping tails off rats and releasing them so they can breed and provide future income.

It's not as simple as making sure that TSA management has the right desired behavior out of agents.
I'm a blockchain skeptic, but I do think there are some valid use cases. A great example was the Greek banking crisis a few years back. Bitcoin skyrocketed because with the banking system shut down, it became the most practical way to transfer money.

There are only a few limited cases when banking would be shut down and internet access would still be functioning and useful, so bitcoin may not be a good alternative very often, but at least until the collapse is complete, it will probably be a valuable asset. :)

Bitcoin is in fact among the worst of them when it comes to practicality. Litecoin's fast blocks are much better.

For the most part, though, I think you're right that bitcoin/blockchain is massively overhyped and not useful outside of a small niche, and that its technical limitations and vulnerabilities are massively underplayed.
I have an iPhone 6 that I brought in for battery replacement. Genius bar appointment was the next night and I stopped by after work. It took about 20 minutes before a technician was free so I enjoyed looking at the crazy large screen they installed in the store.

Technician confirmed my symptoms (battery won’t charge, random shut downs) and told me the batteries were 2 weeks back ordered. 2 weeks later, got a call that I could come in anytime to replace my battery with an overnight turnaround.

Dropped off phone, picked up the next morning for $29 never once got an upsell to a better phone.
I was maybe a little too excited to read "When to Jump"
(https://www.amazon.com/When-Jump-Have-Isnt-Life/dp/125012421...) about taking a big risk in making a major career/life change against perhaps the wishes and/or expectations of your family, friends, colleagues, society, etc from an author I hadn't heard of before (but somehow got Sheryl Sandberg to write the forward for and Reid Hoffman to endorse) who left a cushy VC/finance job to travel around the world to play squash for 2 years.

After doing a little more research, I found that the author grew up in a wealthy east coast family, is a close blood relative to Sheryl Sandberg, went to an Ivy League school (likely aided by privileged upbringing and family connections), landed at a prestigious finance/VC firm straight from college (probably made possible again by an Ivy league pedigree/family connection), and could easily make the "jump" to doing something that paid nil for 2 years due to this enormous safety net of family wealth that most people simply don't have.

If there's one thing about the Travis Kalanick saga I wish the media would've told is that he is a rare successful founder who legitimately grew up in a middle class family and struggled for many years post-college trying to get to ramen-profitability on a series of failing startups before hitting it big. This is strictly in contract to the Zucks and Spiegels of the world who grew up very wealthy and went to the best schools and could take on the big risks associated with entrepreneurship because if everything failed they still had that big safety net to fall back on.

Hi there,

Yes, I hope to add that feature soon-ish. The reason I left it out of this first release is that computing Delaunay triangulations scales very poorly with dimensionality. That was why TRIOPT was restricted to low dimensional spaces. I will have to implement a more efficient way to compute nonoverlapping triangulations. In the mean time, you can simply make the optimization domain bigger to encapsulate the shape of your problem domain.
It's pretty typical boot time for most UEFI server platforms with network cards and RAID controllers. The Dell R630 takes about six minutes, the HP DL3x0 is about eight and the Lenovo x3550 takes over ten. Of the ones I've tested only the Intel s2600wf is under two minutes in a stock configuration, but with LinuxBoot it is less than twenty seconds to a Unix shell despite the PEI and DXE serial debugging messages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HISDFXZvSI

I don't know why the writer think Americans link wealth with merit. I think Americans are suspicious of wealth because it's either lottery zuckerberg money or inherited trump money and most Americans know this.
It's sad that techies who champion knowledge, freedom, righteousness, supports a country like China that openly rejects democracy, openly and brashly monitors its people and assign them scores, holds 're-education/concentration camps' for its minorities the Uighur, threatens democratic countries like Taiwan, house arrests many of its own citizens and nobel prize winners, spews its pollution into the ocean and to other countries airspace, supports a crazy dictator in North Korea who seeks to destroy US and Japan, etc etc etc
For me, I just think most play loses it's interest because the novelty is gone. I know or can guess pretty well what will happen, so I'd rather read a novel or article that tells me something new.

Ask HN: How to get a (remote) opportunity in a company with high standards?
I've been writing code for the web since 2014, but by the end of 2016 I decided to shift my focus from websites to apps (frontend). So I made a list of the most common skills required for a frontend dev, and I spent most of 2017 learning/refining those skills and building a portfolio (https://lualparedes.github.io/).

I want to work in an environment where I'm required to work with state-of-the-art technologies and best practices. I associate this mostly with companies in the developed world ─specially companies in the US─, but almost all of the frontend jobs I've found so far are on-site.

What can I do to get an opportunity? I'm even willing to work for almost nothing* as long as the projects are challenging and the standards are high.

() DISCLAIMER ()
I'm strongly against the commoditization of something as valuable as web development, I'm the kind of person that either works at the right rate, or for free if it is for a noble cause or I'm bound to learn a lot.
However, I'd like to earn at least a little because I'm afraid of what could happen in my country (Venezuela) in a few months, and a few bucks could make a huge difference at that moment.
> I kind of hate Linux as a desktop now

This is unfortunate. I've been using Linux and suffered, for the lack of a better word, with its warts since 2002.

There was a period between 2013-2016 where Linux was great as my main operating system. It was more stable than OS X and was much better for development.

Is hardware support your main issue with desktop Linux?
That may be true but most marriages don’t work out and they are not self-fulfilling prophecies.
Here is the simplest way I can put it: When you delete a file in NT, any NtCreateFile() on its name will fail with STATUS_DELETE_PENDING until the last handle is closed.[1] Unix will remove the name for this case and the name is re-usable for any number of unrelated future files.

[1] Note that is not the same as your "must be reachable via some path". It is literally inaccessible by name after delete. Try to access by name and you get STATUS_DELETE_PENDING. This is unrelated to the other misfeature of being able to block deletes by not including FILE_SHARE_DELETE.
Trucks usually have bigger mirrors; modern cars have pretty tiny mirrors for aerodynamics (I guess some classic cars just had tiny mirrors cause they looked cool, though). The modern fake overhead view built from multiple cameras is pretty useful.
I'm skeptical. Trees already are pretty efficient at making seed pods, what they lack is the ability to fend off predators from eating the seedlings.
They already have a chat with instant replies...that point you to a website with the answer they should have just linked you to when you went searching for the answer. I had to go through this rigamarole to reset my 2FA because my phone had to be reset and I didn't have backups of my Google Authenticator keys. The process went something like this:

1. Search docs for how to deal with lost 2FA device. Find entry about it.

2. Docs say, "contact support to blah blah blah" with a link to a realtime chat thing for support.

3. Ask question in chat thing.

4. Receive a link to a web page with a description of what to do from the chat bot

5. Follow those instructions, which involve logging in with a different browser (or incognito) and clicking "lost my device".

6. Verify identity, etc. etc. which finally gets the ball rolling on fixing the problem, which takes a couple of days, as I think it actually involves a human at this point, though I never actually talked to one.

It wasn't super painful, but it made me think, "What idiot came up with this? Why would I want to talk to chat bot only to have it take me to the web page that it should have directed me to in the first place when I was looking at the documentation?"

The professors and their friends on the committee are self-dealing when allocating the committee's research funds. Grad students at the Fraunhofer partner universities still do the bulk of the work. I don't see how I've missed anything.
I brought up Vancouver's situation to compare it to New York because they both have large rural areas and comparable rates of urban and rural populations, about 50% of the population of NY and BC live in their largest cities. In addition, both NYC and Vancouver are highly urbanized, dense and developed cities.

If it were truly the case that rural voters down play the importance of intercity public transit, then Vancouver should have the same dismal public transport priorities that plague NYC. In contrast, Vancouver has a long history of progressive public transit initiatives despite being attached to a very large and sparsely populated province which suggests that NYCs problem isn't the upstate voters.

And of course the government can and does give itself authority. All authority of the United States government even at the most fundamental and historic level comes from, well, itself. The very foundation of the government comes from the government deciding what counts as “consent of the governed,” obtaining that level of consent, then going forward with all the authority it decided to grant itself.
