Anyone who's performed a deadlift knows the hip hinge. I recently was testing my one rep max and due to fatigue my back arched instead of doing a proper hip hinge. The pain stayed with me for days and was pretty agonizing. This was about 5-6 weeks ago. Since then I've been deadlifting perfectly w/o pain.

The whole process of getting published seems so strange to me. I only know an overview about how it works from friends who are in PhD programs, but I suppose I've gotten used to the open source world and the Internet in general, where anyone can "publish" globally and basically for free. Sure most of that content is subpar, but that's why we have methods and tools for curation. YouTube probably won't put my video on their homepage, but they're also not stopping me from putting it online in the first place.

I've wondered what it would take to build something like a GitHub for science. Eisen's APPRAISE system seems like a huge step towards that, and I hope it works out.
There are reports of cocaine being detected in waste water (1). You could approach water companies to see how granular their data is. Perhaps you can see that there are peaks of coke in the sewers near Wall Street or Madison Avenue.

I'm confused by your comment, From my reading you seem to say the article suggest squatting but from my reading the article is not advocating for squatting at all. It's advocating for hip hinge where your back remains straight and your hips rotate using your hamstring to pull. Unlike the j-curl you mention the back remains straight. Similar to deadlift technique.
Great point. One quote that didn't make it in was that NYC doesn't have an "infrastructure of crazy," i.e., there aren't mentors/peers here who might tell a founder not to take a risk, not to take that offer from Google for $30 billion...
Switched to iPhone SE (after a few years on Android) 12 months ago. I have yet to encounter any situation where I've been annoyed with the phone's performance. Best, and snappiest, smart phone I've ever owned.

This (edit: the first one) works way better than I expected!

Your h1 and h2 are always the same since hash is deterministic when I assume you want them to be distinct, and they're in the range [-1, 1] instead of [0.5, -0.5] which I think makes more sense. I'm also not sure why you made r instead of just hashing fragCoord directly?

I also think adding time to the hash makes it look better, though if you stand still it's somewhat nauseating (switch all time variables in getColor to 0.0). Anyways I ended up with the following which I think looks great :)

float h1 = (hash(time + fragCoord.x) + hash(time + fragCoord.y)) / 4.0;
float h2 = (hash(time - fragCoord.x) + hash(time -fragCoord.y)) / 4.0;
My beef is with the mentality that often goes along with money. For some reasons, people making a lot or handling a lot of money often act superior - above the law, above the rest of society, and basically above anyone else who is not in their "echelon". And since most companies, esp finance and tech are largely run by men, it ends up promoting power and dominance over others - especially women they desire.

You can look at the current state of global wealth and politics to see the superiority complex and the above-the-law behavior.

So when dotcom happened, and when it had its resurgence in the Google era, this bro-culture developed partly due to the money and exclusivity that went with being a west coast "engineer".

As for Dutch behavior in the office, it's definitely more entertaining and amusing. But I would not want to be an attractive AND brainy woman in fintech. Their actual achievements would be inseparable from their looks, perhaps in the way that a decent rich person has difficulty knowing if the friends circling around are friends for good reasons or for potential financial benefits.

There is a decent amount of evidence that Apple's sales from the iPhone X (specifically) are less than expected, including 2-for-1 deals and Samsung cutting production of OLEDs. At the same time the margins on the X are better than ever.

I agree it's unnecessary commentary, but based in fact without too much speculation.
The Symbolics systems are very nice but very niche. They only really work when you can ship a product with a complete supporting stack, down to the hardware.

You couldn't build an equivalent for web or app development, because the technology doesn't support an equivalent approach.

You certainly couldn't sell them to the public and leave them open, because they're too easy to break. You might have been able to sell a commoditised application layer with commoditised hardware to the public, but that would have required an extra few zeroes on the end of R&D and marketing costs.

You could argue that web technology should have started with an open approach like this. But there would have been consequences, not least of which in browser design, which would have gone from being a fairly trivial parser/renderer to a complete VM running on non-optimal consumer hardware, and the fact that without commoditisation, development systems would have cost five or even six figures.

The benefits might have taken a while to become obvious.

It's possible that functional VM web technology would have made the web work better after the initial take-up issues, and we'd have something sleek and elegant instead of the awful glued-together patchwork of mediocre hack technologies we have today. But it's also possible the adoption costs would have strangled the web at birth.

We'll never know, but IMO it's an interesting question.

This kind of competition is something that I'd really like to see being analysed in academic CS. It would be useful if the tradeoffs were understood theoretically instead of just being historical curiosities.
I can’t trust any of these comparisions because it’s difficult to compare apartments across cities. Average apartment costs in new york are meaningless. I know of no one paying 3k per month. Usually it’s between 1k-1.5k, which completely changes this graph.
Uruguay is really not like the rest of Latin America - I wouldn’t live in say, Argentina, Brazil, Chile or Paraguay for the exact reason you describe.

2. LA, NYC, boston (3-way tie)
3. seattle, austin (2-way tie)
4. atlanta, chicago, and everywhere else

obviously this is US-only since i don't know much about the international startup scene other than china in general has been exploding with competitive startups (although that seems to have cooled a bit?).
Dropbox's fixed storage for a fixed price business model probably assumes a large majority of their customers wont use the full 1TB they pay for. Providing smaller amounts of storage for a lesser price would just reduce revenue without reducing storage costs, so it doesn't make sense for them.

Still a simple idea, but the execution is a little more complex.

They will mostly likely work with the local utility to build an entire substation for the DC, so they won't have to deal with sharing capacity on an existing sub's XFMR.
Caffeine certainly is a good, tame example. It's chemical effect is basically to block your brain from fatigue signals, perhaps analogous to anesthetic that blocks pain signals. It doesn't actually prevent fatigue, just as anesthetic doesn't actually prevent injury or damage. You are still burning through energy and accumulating sleep debt like anyone else.
Thanks for the advice. This is basically what I've been doing for the past year, every spare second I've had devoted to side projects. I don't think my expectations are too out of whack because whenever I've gotten a code challenge from an employer, it was pretty easy and I made it through to the next round.

Dart offers the static types and traditional classes of Java with the closures, first class functions, rapid iteration, and other nice parts of JS. Dart is a very nice middle ground in my opinion. Dart now supports AOT compilation too.

Flutter is a lightweight declarative UI on top of Skia with hooks into the relevant native events. That means it should generally be easier to get good performance than with React Native (not to mention replacing Android's horrible UI architecture that seems designed to prevent 60fps from happening). Once you start talking about going cross-platform, you have to start talking about compromises. Flutter seems like a very nice compromise when compared to the alternatives (only thing it's missing is the ability to compile to either HTML or Canvas).
It's because we are supposed to be really good at squatting, but modern life just doesn't require it.

The biggest difference is not squatting to use the toilet. Until modern toilets, humans squat without sitting to poop. More sitting = less squatting, which leads to not squatting to pick up things since our muscles are underdeveloped.

Difference is accountability. Managers are taking on responsibility for their teams delivery and usually owning some budget and timeline that's critical to the business. In finance, that could be worth millions or even hundreds of millions. Managing Directors at top tier investment banks absorb a ludicrous amount of pressure to earn their bonuses.

I installed OpenBSD on my apu and picked up a Ubiquiti AP AC Pro for wifi. I also picked up a couple wifi nics that I'd intended to use with hostapd as you suggested. However, I had some spare amazon pts to throw at the Ubitquiti hardware, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It was all super simple to set up, and I'm more than happy with it so far.

Previously I was using an ASUS RT-N66U with tomato/shibby, but it had been acting a little flaky for a while - 5ghz would stop a few times a week, eth connections would drop, overall wifi connectivity was mediocre at best. The performance was pretty similar before flashing with tomato.

My new solution is likely drawing a little more power, but I've had no problems with it. Also, I'm impressed with OpenBSD's simplicity. I've tinkered with FreeBSD in the past and found it a little complex. OpenBSD has proven to be significantly more straightforward and easy to configure.

Thanks for the encouragement!
While there is not an option to set a default cache policy on a bucket, you can specify a cache policy as part of object uploads, although I admit that this can be inconvenient if you upload from multiple clients.

In addition, caching only applies to objects that are anonymously readable. Private objects are never cached.

Ask HN: Laptop reviews, but specifically for Linux/BSD hardware support?
Hey HN,

Linux was my primary operating system in highschool (over 10 years ago) and I've been using osx ever since college and throughout my career. I want to plunge back into that but I've been spoiled by the fact that I can expect my trackpad and wireless to work on my computer.

All the recommendations I find are buried in hn comments or on random forum posts, but I was hoping someone has produced well-researched reviews like at wirecutter ( https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-business-laptops/ ).

Is there anyone out there doing this?
Have you found decent frontends which let you sync files between Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iPhone, using S3 as the backend? If so, I'd love a few pointers, because I've been looking for something like that.
All good questions, but none of these facts necessarily entail that there is no self, they simply change what we could possibly mean by the "self".

For instance, cars and jobs don't actually exist at the level of particles and fields, and yet we can say with certainty that I have a car that I drive to my job almost every day. These terms have sensible and precise meanings, even if we don't yet know their precise meanings.
I mostly agree, though the whole Cambridge bit was a bit overdone IMHO. NYC seems to be slowly changing though, finance and money seem to be losing prestige a bit in favor of tech. Ten years ago there was "a" NY Tech Meetup. Now there are many dozens if not hundreds, it certainly feels you could attend one every day. I feel I walk around and see a lot more people these days whom I say to myself "they are definitely in tech" whereas 10 years ago or so that would rarely happen.

I started spending some time in Chicago, and I guess I am still trying to figure out what its trying to say- so far all I have is "a less intense NYC."
Verge3D introduces support for Facebook's 3D posts
we could bind mount over /nix or /nix/store, but that means any existing nix packages from the container would not be available. The whole point is to have the whole container file system available along with the utilities. We could alternatively find each package that we need for our debugging utilities and bind mount each directory from the store individually. This would work due to unique paths in the store, but that means potentially hundreds of bind mounts and is an orchestration nightmare.
Google has many large facilities that are definitely not shipping containers. You can do this for caching sites but it doesn't really work all that well from a cooling efficiency POV. In 2009 when they were building shipping containers their PUE was as high as 1.22 which is essentially not that much better than traditional raised floor and air conditioners. Their modern DCS are not built like this. Instead they have hot aisle and cold aisles. They call their cold aisles hot huts.

So you essentially trade off time to market for PUE.

In a large compute region the higher PUE of the shipping container approach is going to limit how many servers you can put in that location because power to a particular site is often a limiting factor. Also not everywhere do you have access to water from the Columbia river.

I have a genetic disorder that was not diagnosed until my mid thirties. Living with people I nearly know who are not invested in keeping me healthy would be disastrous for me. I never wanted roommates ever. In my twenties, prior to my diagnosis, I could not have proven that I had special need of retaining a high degree of control over my environment.

My opinion is that rich and privileged people get to routinely exercise their preferences and predilections without having to justify them. Everyone else needs to jump through hoops and fill out paperwork and prove to some authority that their preferences are a valid need. I think we could do away with a lot of expensive programs designed to accommodate special needs if we started from a baseline assumption that you should be allowed to get your preferences so long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

Most of the design of our world is extremely accommodating of the privileged few. Everyone else is default shat upon. I would like to live in a better world than that.

Isn't this self imposed if you are the one applying for the job??? I don't get it, if some rando recruiter emails me a Hacker Rank test, I delete the email if I'm not interested...pretty simple. If I am interested, then I apply and that is no longer an "interruption"...or at least it is self imposed so there is no real reason to complain.

> What are the problems in employing people as contractors rather than employees?

No problems for me, but there would be huge problems for the new employee. In the Netherlands, it's illegal, as the contractor has to have >= 3 clients. It also causes problems with access to social services and healthcare.

It looks like, for the Netherlands at least, that there are some local providers that handle this. One I found (and will probably go with) is Orange Tax — www.orangetax.com
