Generally speaking these "home inventended" UI tookits are a novel idea but not usable in practice because they always fail to follow standard desktop conventions and things like moving widget focus, cut/copy/paste, RTL text etc. are always broken in some funky ways. Also there's a reason why a lot of effort has been put into standardizing the look and feel of applications. It really sucks when some "we're special" app has their own buggy toolkit that doesn't work properly. Sigh.

monetization uber alles.

I believe the traditional logic is:

1. X is good.

2. To achieve the best X, we should allow our best X people to dedicate their lives to it full time.

3. That means paying and equipping them, which needs revenue.

4. Therefore things that increase our revenue are good and things that decrease our revenue are bad.

where X is almost anything in the entertainment industry, and quite a few things outside it too.
I think you're value judging a lot of people without cause. Parental wealth is a huge factor as well, my parents are terrible at saving and basically paid for nothing directly for me (despite both having high payingish jobs) but thankfully their spending bought me into good opportunities. Now I loan them money, and when they repay it I put it into a savings account for them (crazy, I know).

Meanwhile my wife's parents are good savers and investors and paid for all her education, her first car, started her a significant investment account, etc.

Unless you think the sins of the parent should be visited on their children, pause and consider your judgements.

I have to admit. I love QtCreator combination with Clang. Nothing even comes close. Visual Studio (despite the factor it is only available for Windows) has serious flow. It parses a big project with small change. That results of huge time waste.

There’s also a psychological element. When a user upgrades Windows and some software breaks, they immediately think “the new version of Windows sucks!” and tell all their friends. They neither know nor care that it’s actually a bug in the software that didn’t manifest before.
I've only tinkered with CRDTs, but one common theme in those applications is changing the data structure to accommodate the CRDT.

In your example, that might mean changing the single "phone number" field to many "phone numbers", so that merging the two writes results in a customer record with two phone numbers. This preserves the data, but pushes conflict resolution (which number should be used?) out into the consumers.

> Will it not be eroded by microorganisms in the outdoors over time? It is still wood, after all.

Well-prepared and maintained wood lasts for centuries: Kirkjubøargarður, Hōryū-ji, Nanchan Temple, Greensted Church, various houses in Schwyz, … date back to before the 13th century (Hōryū-ji was finished early in the 7th century).

Over human historical scale — and assuming proper maintenance — the biggest issue is fire rather than decay (that's how most of Hōryū-ji's 7th-century materials were lost and had to be replaced).

I do feel the recent changes have moved to prescription rather than flexibiity though.

For example, last I looked, the new configuration manager has to be injected.

Injected!

To me, who's not a particular fan of injection, that's insane. Especially given that the previous iteration was a static class that most of would just wrap in a static class called something like "Constants" or something.

These are global, static, variables. They shouldn't be changing during the application's run-time It should be super simple to use and fire-and-forget. Having to pass it into every constructor and then manage it is crazy to me.

Yeah, you can wrap the whole thing yourself, but it's just been done because DI is trendy at the moment. In my opinion, for a statically typed language, DI is just a pretty nasty language hack that's only there to facilitate test methods. You shouldn't be designing things around it.

Here is a question, how do they determine who is whistling to them if they do not see them? Is whistler's identity encoded in a whistle somehow? And if yes, then how? In cetacean whistles it is believed that dolphin's identity is not encoded in a whistle that is why they need signature whistles.

On a side note, whistling language and cetacean whistling are nice examples of convergent evolution, cetaceans also use whistles for long distance communication, and use other sounds like burst pulses for short distance comunication with animals nearby. Sociality is another common component.

Another amazing thing about whistled languages is that they are still closely linked to their language of origin. If the language is tonal, the whistle will follow their language melodic structure. If the language is not tonal , whistles will try to mimic vowel resonance and convey consonants via how they whistle, i.e abrupt changes.

I would argue you’d be better off interviewing first with the companies you want to work for the least. This way you can use them as “warm ups.” You’re more likely to mess up your first interview than the later ones.

That said, if they’re all final rounds this advice might not apply.
Correction: the outside of wood burns. But a wooden beam is going to slowly degrade over time during a fire, a steel beam will be fine right up to the point where it reaches a critical temperature and then it will collapse instantly. Wood degrades more gracefully giving occupants of a structure a few crucial minutes more to leave if the building is on fire.
> I tend to disagree with the author's approach of pushing routine stuff out to the realm of "magically happens behind the scenes"

Me too, and it's easy to take this approach way too far to where you're basically recreating your own MVC architecture in some pseudo-service layer that you're not 100% sure how it even gets executed in the first place.

But I'll admit for things you should be doing on 99.9% of calls (e.g. validating the model) it's nice to have it done one place and one place only.

Fair point. Again it is the call that the developer has to take depending upon certain parameters. If he is shipping multiple applications built with Python with one requiring Python 2.7 and the other requiring Python 3.4. He has to somehow make sure that both the application will run peacefully together or he can just create two docker images on his machine one contains Python2.7 installed and the other contains Python 3.0 installed and deploy it the docker way without any hassle. At the end of the day it is the call he has to take depending upon how much time each of the flow is going to consume and which one makes his life easy.

793 gigagrams in how many grams of permafrost?

From the paper's estimate of the concentration in soil (43ng mercury per gram of soil) this mercury is dispersed in 18 exagrams of soil.

For scale, the concentration of mercury in permafrost is about an order of magnitude less than what is found in tuna, and about the same as what is found in haddock or mackerel. (At least according to Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_in_fish)

The difference being that you can at least publicly discuss the potential hazards attending to climate change.

By contrast, just mentioning the fact that Africa's population seems poised to swell to four and a half billion by 2100--even without reference to any of the obvious negative consequences--is enough to earn a harsh rebuke (or a shadowban on HN), as happened to French President Emanuel Macron when he recommended that women in Niger stop having so many children (7.5 per woman):

They’re going to call your employer for a reference anyway. Why bother hiding it if you’re already at final round? Just take the days off as vacation days and if anyone asks where you are, tell them you’re interviewing for other companies. Your boss will find out very soon anyway. It might even lead to an offer for a raise.

You’re not a slave. You have every right to interview wherever you want and whenever you want.
Serious question: how do you test something without injection?

But yes I agree injecting configuration seems sub-optimal at best.
how is it "eco-friendly"?
Serious question/statement looking for an answer here—I don’t understand why every time an article along the line of this gets attention it makes me wonder if anyone out there is working on two things:

1. Educating the general population how the latest technologies can/are being used to affect their privacy

2. Working hard to be an independent, trustworthy part that scrutinises the government

I honestly don’t understand the general attitude of most of the comments on articles like this, particular when you are not living in a country where censorship is “okay”.

In an ideal society (in my opinion) the government would act in the best interest of the society and the government is scrutinised by a well-informed population. This is certainly not what is happening in most, if not all, countries; but seeing some of the comments on HN repeatedly that don’t go beyond “scary as” or “this is not okay” is quite disappointing and makes me wonder where else I should look for reasonable opinions sometimes.

Have we not learn anything from storeis about govermental mass surveillance programs in recent years? How about perhaps we should all sit down, think, and set standards for how to protect everyone while setting encforcabke standards for what is an isn’t okay?

Because it does not lose its strength as fast in a fire. Wood doesn't flow, it simply burns from the outside in and the inner parts not exposed to the fire are just as strong as they were before the fire.

By contrast: steel is an excellent conductor of heat and the interior of a beam is just as hot as the outside of the beam exposed to the fire.

then k is not random, but a numeric representation of the resulting image. E.g. if you change k, you will get a different image.

5 Simple Tips on Starting a Software Company
I'm from Nigeria and the idea that the poor among us dress well is news to me. If anything, dressings standards have fallen year in year for the past decade. People simply do not have disposable income.
Being expected to get paid for employment and contractual work is fine. Expecting money to come in just because you spent time working on something, and put it out for the public to see, really isn't. Even if it happened to have made money in prior circumstances.

There's tons of work that people do, either out of interest, pleasure, or duty, that has no expectation of monetization attached. Who's going to pay for the work of some hobbyist building a ship in a bottle? Or getting paid for the hard work of redoing your own front yard? Or working on learning how to yodel? Or doing good deeds for others? Work is just effort spent; it's not a guaranteed exchange for money, unless some specific agreement is made.
Egyptian Pyramid in Australia?
Most vague laws have been created to be enforced on some specific population. Now that they could be automatically used against anyone the ruling population which was not supposed to be affected is starting to question those laws. It is OK when mostly blacks, youngsters and poor people get jailed for jaywalking; not so much when upper middle class people are.

That's what a cynical person like me can take from your argument.
It's not really a magic number, it's an encoding of the graphic that represents the formula.

If an open source tool exists, people will end up playing with it. That's categorically not the same of closed source tools - as social creatures we want to share what we're doing, so if we can't share that we stumbled on a cool closed-source tool leaked on the internet, what's the point of playing with it?

So there's that.

I would very much like to hear about your progress on this, FWIW.

Also, I'm not sure, but just in case the following things I was reminded of are directly/indirectly useful/helpful (for ideas or parts, or maybe some of the engineers may be interesting to talk to..?)...

- MARSSx86 - a cycle-accurate x86 emulator built on top of QEMU: http://www.marss86.org/~marss86/index.php/Home

- Cling - a C++ interpreter built on top of LLVM's JIT: https://root.cern.ch/cling

There are several cycle-accurate emulators out there, MARSSx86 is the first I discovered. I'm not sure if it's useful.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm mentioning Cling. It used to be based on a custom runtime (and called CINT) that was absolutely massive and was basically its own C++ implementation. Cling is effectively a very small patch/driver on top of LLVM's C++ implementation and its JIT runtime.
hehe I don't think so, not in the (wisdom) philosophy classics department anyway. I get the strong impression it's that they've read nothing in the field but Marcus Aurelius and perhaps Ayn Rand. (Which is pretty sad.) I just wondered, why Marcus Aurelius and not one of the many dozens of other classics that it might have been instead. I guess it's close to what Hackers™ believe anyway. And well, Machiavelli isn't about one's individual philosophy of/outlook on life. (Maybe his comedies are, haven't read them.) If you want ruthless, I've seen some Sun Tzu, not to mention Rand. I find Aurelius rather bleak and..dusty. (I don't recall ever seeing Taoism or Laotzu mentioned on here, but I'm pretty new.)
