You likely dodged a bullet there. A CEO getting “beyond pissed” over what is essentially a business deal is weird. Does he also get beyond pissed when he loses a customer or when a deadline slips? Super red flag when a company rep (let alone the CEO) loses their cool during something as pedestrian as hiring!
It is pretty astonishing how little tech companies there are in Hayward, Union City, Fremont, and Milpitas. Tens of thousands of available tech workers commuting to the Valley. Companies opening up there could drastically reduce the extremely constrained traffic, then residents all around the bay would allow for more housing. What's the downside?

I track all my projects in ~/Documents/projects/[current|pending|completed]. Each project has its own folder and a <projectName.txt> summary file. As each project progresses, the projectName.txt file is updated and the folder receives other spreadsheets, text files, images, and copies of e-mails. Large projects that have subprojects have a "=" in front of their folder name so they're easily identified.
You never mentioned WCAG guidelines before, you just said "making it hard to read."

The WCAG are just one authoritative source that happens to be readily available and therefore seemed a useful objective reference for the discussion.

The point I've been trying to make is that there is a very important difference between simply de-emphasizing text (which is often useful, and which a moderate change in contrast might indeed achieve) and making it hard to read (so that even someone who wants to read that information will find it more difficult). What the author is advocating in this case doesn't just do the former, which would be fine; it also potentially does the latter if taken too far, as several of the author's own examples have been, and at that point the presentation certainly is undermining usability in that respect.

Perhaps my point would be clearer if we consider the opposite effect. In a magazine or textbook, a key definition that is shown in boldface is readily picked out when scanning the page, thanks to the contrast of its darker appearance compared to the main text. Likewise, a heading in a different colour is readily located, or a pull quote set in a large, italic font. All of these typographical techniques show some form of priority in the information hierarchy and guide the reader's focus, yet none requires that any of the text, including the less emphasized main body text, be at all difficult to read.

The reason I am trying to make this point so forcefully is that this is also a classic case of a mistake where young designers with good eyesight and high-end display equipment frequently fail to realise they are doing anything wrong, and as such I agree with others commenting today that the advice in the article could be counterproductive without additional qualification. Ironically, the author did flag up the related bad practice of using lighter font weights at body sizes, which is another common usability problem with some modern UI styles for much the same reasons. It's a little hard to reconcile awareness and avoidance of one danger with actively promoting another that is so closely related.
I agree. Have been here for about 6 mos now, was hoping to have a good work / life balance (to me, that means running outdoors in open trail areas, not necessarily mountains - and not having a bad commute). I'm now working downtown and can not find any acceptable commute to a sparsely populated area. The W line to boulder is way too damn slow, I could probably ride a bicycle faster (it takes about 1:15 to go from boulder to downtown). The sprawl is larger than I expected.

I also notice it stinks pretty bad from whatever those smoke stacks are doing near Colfax & I25, and north of Denver - like some metallic smell.

In areas like North Thornton there is hydraulic fracking, so I'll pass on that, along with Arvada near Rocky Flats.

There is a lot of homelessness, but i read about 75% of those people have jobs - but can't find a place to live affordably. Rents might not be as bad as SF or Seattle but they are going up, apparently from the influx of people coming for legal weed and affordable housing shortage (luxury stuff is being built)

Oh, and avoid the 16th Street Circus. Centennial, Parker, Boulder, or Golden all look nice if you can find opportunities there - but the commutes from those (also nice to live places) are too much into downtown.
Also the trade deficit issue. If China's ultra-rich are exporting billions of dollars of capital a year out of China, then it helps balance the trade deficit and means more capital in the rest of the world and probably mostly the USA.

I've heard variants of this before, and while it's not wrong, I feel that once you're done telling a 200-word story to explain something, you'll have lost most of your audience. It's no longer an easy metaphor. They're not going to go back to their managers and tell a 200-word story, so you're limited to people you can talk to directly for a couple minutes.

What I would say, to anyone old enough to have lived through the HD->SSD transition, is: "Quiet offices are an SSD for programmers' brains."

It's short, it's simple, it's repeatable, it's understandable. I think it's more or less true, and it's hard to argue against SSDs. We buy our programmers SSDs for their computers, so why wouldn't we want them for their brains, too?

It’s not. But it’s not in the current tool. And as this article devoted a long section to why they’re not required for reproducibility I suspect the go team isn’t planning on added one. It’s especially important to give this feedback early in the process so this critical functionality of the tool is not omitted.

BUT....The Launder limit is over optimistic because unless your computer runs at absolute zero you need to keep redundant copies of each bit for error correction. Transistors are implicitly error correcting in the sense that each bit is represented by a current of a few thousand electrons.

Factoring in the redundancy requirement we are likely only off by somewhere between 100x and 1000x. If there were ever a return to exponential technological improvement, we would run out of road after a few years.
If you read the article you'd realize that it doesn't talk about modifying the patients DNA to cure the cancer, the are just editing T cells so they will attack the cancer. Metabolic therapy seems promising, but I don't think it will ever be as effective as other forms of therapy that we will come up with.

>The treatment Wu is testing involves taking a sample of blood from each patient. A lab at a biotech company two hours away by bullet train extracts T cells from the blood. Scientists then use CRISPR to knock out a gene in the T cells known as PD-1. This engineering feat modifies the T cells so that they zero in on and attack the cancer cells, once they're infused back into each patient.

Maybe if they fixed all the bugs with the player. Used to use it constantly, but bugs added up to a worse experince than downloading mp3s like its 1999. The roku app was the last holdout, and then started crashing every 3 songs.

I was an early adopter, and really loved the service, even when the channels got to be the same 20 songs repeated. But not working, well, doesn't work.

I am sure there are many licencing and legal issues that also contribute, but without a working service, it doesn't matter.
I think the point is that we’re focusing on the bad parts, and overlooking the actual legit research part of China.

> Most capable programmers just don't think to use a == b for floating points, because it isn't going to work a lot of the time, but for someone who isn't aware of that minefield they can wander in and get some very stupid bugs.

Well, there are two separate issues here:

1) The default for programming should be decimal floating point instead of binary floating point. Suddenly, your strange "a == b" for floating point works just fine because 0.1 is exactly representable. Thus, addition, subtraction, and multiplication behave just like integer. Computers are now fast enough that any language in which you don't actually specify a floating point, should default to decimal. This covers 99% of the silly cases for beginners, and benefits people doing actual monetary calculations.

2) Programmers need to be able to specify when they want binary floating point for speed along with all the weirdness.
This a-la-carte model is quite dangerous, because there's a difference between readers' willingness to spend money, and both the amount of work and the importance for society an article has.

These sorts of decision are currently in the hands of editors who, despite all the growling, are still inclined to allow vast, expensive, investigative goose-chases.

If you introduce per-article payments, it becomes just too easy for the business department to explicitly see which articles bring in more than they cost. But you want the cross-subsidies that are necessary for a well-rounded publication.

By "everywhere" I meant "in at least one neighborhood in every major U.S. metro." I did not say (or mean to say) that it's possible anywhere in every U.S. metro, just that it's possible somewhere in every U.S. metro.

Online dating is only an accurate caricature of real life. It's a pure numbers game. Instead of 10 guys hitting on the girl you think is cute, now hundreds of them are.

I don't know what it means to be closer to real life. The reason your have social less momentum in your day-to-day is because you just don't meet that many people.

Also, I'm not sure what increased qualitative behavior would mean in online dating. Sure, there are bozos who just say "hey" to everyone, but those are trivial to filter out. Online dating is a vessel for quickly escalating to a meet-up. I think you should put less importance on the quick-fire internet game because most people don't want to languish there either. People want to meet, fuck, make connections just like you.
> it's a viable packaging system that isn't NP-hard. Is there any precedent for that?

Yes, Rust's Cargo: see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/0.25.0/src/cargo/cor... For demonstration, on my low-end VPS Cargo takes less than a quarter second to select the versions of the 289 transitive dependencies used by Servo (could be much less, but I don't have a precise measurement; `time cargo update` takes 1.22 seconds but this is dominated by the network calls checking for a new version of the crates.io index and checking for new versions of Servo's custom deps on Github).

The fact that the algorithm in the OP isn't NP-hard isn't anything worth getting excited about. The only advantage I can see is that it gives a measure of reproducibility without the need for lockfiles--though builds will still be less reproducible than they'd be with lockfiles.
The experiment I remember from Peopleware (at Cornell, IIRC?) is that some people preferred quiet and some people did not, but when measured they all were more efficient at completing tasks in the quiet environment.

I switched from a paid Pandora account to Spotify for two reasons:

1. Pandora offered me no way of using their service without Adobe Flash, and they did their best to break open-source players that offered better experiences. (The competition isn't perfect: Spotify uses web tech to render their UI, which also causes perf and interaction issues. If Pandora offered a truly native client, that would make me very interested in considering them again.)

2. Spotify lets me pick the exact song I want to listen to, when I want it.
There are quite a few labeling companies out there now, and it seems like you're differentiated on accepting pointclouds, which is great.

In every case of one of these labeling company, when I talk with them it's almost 100% manual (data augmentation or boostrapped iterative manual checking aside) - which of course makes sense right now.

My question is, how do you plan on eventually automating labeling? That is effectively an unsupervised system in the long run which of course is pretty well unsolved.

Do you use the customer provided images and your labels to create your own inference models? Seems like that would be an obvious part of any Venture pitch in this space, but potentially put you at odds with your customer base (companies like mine for example which generate a lot of visual data).
The lack of a solver is predicated on the minimal version decision as well as insisting that breaking changes are reflected in dependency identifiers. These decisions are points on their respective spectrums that other package managers have considered and rejected, because they impose (optimistically) novel or (pessimisticly) burdensome requirements on package authors and consumers. Namely, that we bias toward stable (unchanging) builds, even when security or bugfix releases may be safely applied; and that we force authors toward uncommon and arguably awkward naming decisions when making breaking changes, essentially shifting work from computers to humans.

Again, these things aren’t novel; in isolation, they’ve been considered (and rejected) by other package managers. Maybe they compose to something greater than the sum of their parts. At the moment, it’s unclear, and it mostly looks messy.
I originated in New Zealand, and football generally meant rugby. Maybe things have changed since then or maybe I don't remember correctly.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_II_supernova, the actual explosion is a few seconds long. 99% of it escapes as a neutrino burst. However about 1% of the emitted neutrinos get absorbed by the start, and that causes the visible explosion.

According to http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/T/Type+II+Supernova+Ligh... it takes a few hours for the expanding star to cool down and expand enough to hit maximum visible light. And then the decay thereafter is very slow.

What copyright? Maybe I'm missing a section but nothing on his site looks like it would fall under copyright protection.

Lists of ingredients aren't protected by copyright. Hell, neither are basic instructions and he doesn't even have those.

Photos are but this looks like it would fall under fair use. If you have a fashion blog you're allowed to use a photo of a dress from the makers website when you're writing about it. It's hard to comment on a product if you can't share a photo of the product. This guy is commenting on various foods by showing their nutritional value.
Which ones are common? I've been hoping this would be the case, but I've been unable to find evidence for it.

e.g. the most-popular one I can see so far is Facebook's "inject", which has a remarkably small 841 stars: https://github.com/facebookgo/inject

Even Glide, Godep, and Dep have several thousand. And those can barely claim "most", much less "very common".

> You’re not going to risk your career and publish in some unknown journal (for most people).

If this is true it reflects poorly on academia and science (insofar as science is an organized activity). Shouldn’t research be judged by its own merits, and the results it produces against verifiable goals and not the popularity contest of competing journals? IMHO to the extent that what you are saying is true, it’s honestly understandable and a little justified that the public is skeptical of academic science. You’re saying it’s in large part a popularity contest.

Oops, totally misunderstood that
I actually do this, but not in the dramatic fashion that you suggest.

If I want my house painted (or a similar task), I go to a good professional. He asks me what I want. I usually give broad instructions like “I want it to look good” or “I want a good quality to price ratio” or something like that. Then I ask what he suggests and/or what he would do if he were in my shoes.

I usually get a pretty damn good answer. At “worst”, I am presented with some trade offs, and I pick my poison.

If I don’t trust the painter (or other specialist), then I probably have not done enough due diligence.
Sounds great, honestly. I do program in my spare time, but I don't play video games, or board games; I don't care about comic-book movies; I'm not interested in prognosticating about cryptocurrencies; I don't think repetitive "sportsball" jokes are funny; and I really, really don't care about the specs of your new drone, tablet, phone, etc.

It's nice having programmer co-workers who like to talk about almost anything else. If having other interests makes you a "brogrammer" then, well, OK, I guess I like brogrammers.

Reusing username/email/password can cost your users hundreds per day on a gambling site. And users don't care about a password-gen guide. For example, in that case, you'd want to consider just generating passwords for them.

python3 -c 'import getpass, hashlib; print(hashlib.sha1(getpass.getpass().encode("utf-8")).hexdigest())'

Avoids history, doesn't echo to the terminal.

In fact, you should be able to just make a rudimentary CLI into Troy's API simply with:

#!/bin/bash
HASH="$(python3 -c 'import getpass, hashlib; print(hashlib.sha1(getpass.getpass().encode("utf-8")).hexdigest().upper())')"
curl -sS "https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/${HASH:0:5}" | grep "${HASH:5}"

(It'll emit the line from the API response matching your pass; if it does, then that password was compromised. Bash isn't real good at error handling though, so my biggest concern would be what this might do if an HTTP/TCP error happened. I've attempted to throw -S there to catch that, but use with your head screwed on.)
