Learning to hip hinge saved my life! OK, the back pain itself wouldn't have killed me, but I think associated depression might have. I first learned it from Foundation Training: https://www.youtube.com/user/DoAFounder

Like the article says, learning to properly squat and deadlift really helps too
Well considering the amount of people in just this HN thread who didnt read the original document linked, it's almost certainly guaranteed people will take that impression from the headline and poorly worded article they'll read on Gizmodo or whatever.
The aliasing in this was driving me insane, fortunately it's really easy to implement anti aliasing.

Change the function signature of the current main function to

vec3 getColor(in vec2 fragCoord ) {

And the last line to

return col

Then just call it a bunch of times with nearby points in a new main function

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ) {
vec3 c1 = getColor(fragCoord + vec2( 0.25, 0.25));
vec3 c2 = getColor(fragCoord + vec2( 0.25, -0.25));
vec3 c3 = getColor(fragCoord + vec2(-0.25, 0.25));
vec3 c4 = getColor(fragCoord + vec2(-0.25, -0.25));

fragColor = vec4((c1 + c2 + c3 + c4) / 4., 1.0);
}

Obviously this does 4x the amount of work as without antialiasing, but with modern hardware you don't notice it and it looks way better.
Yeah I don't know how many companies do it, but it seems like a process that in some form is a good best practice.

Peter said he thought he needed modafinil. Why is it a hot topic now? His thought way back was that it was everything he needed at the time--mood regular, stimulant.

Comments up-thread speculate Musk may be looking at something like ATM, which uses small, fixed packet sizes for better flow control, along with expectation packets may arrive out of order due to traversing multiple paths. ATM has implementations for reordering packets, and the fixed packet size ensures reordering can be accomplished within a fixed latency.
The boundary at which the self ends and the environment begets another philsophical point that Alan Watts spoke at length about, essentially stating there is no dividing line, it's all a spectrum upon which we place arbitrary boundaries because of our need to put things in boxes and that the concept of self that we create of ourselves is a complete fiction.

Also, is the autonomic nervous system or the unconscious and nonconscious considered part of the self?
Hey all,

I am the creator of https://Jumprock.co. This is a rebrand from an earlier project I did called Formpost.

It includes aliased names to not expose email addresses and custom fields now.
As long as they did a reasonable job of making sure the company running the AI didn't have the questions long enough to just go cheat, I think the law professors should have much more to say about the output than an AI professor would.
Yeah, forgot to mention that one, very true.

Especially for object storage. The scale where deploying your own object storage network gets cheaper than S3 is surprisingly small. Even handling your own equivalent of "intra-zonal redundancy" is easy. The main concerns arise in "how do you CDN that data to your customers" and "how do you gain redundancy beyond intra-zonal"; that's where S3/GCS gets more interesting.
Interesting that it worked for you on the iPhone 7. On my iPhone 6 I just get a black window.
It's easy to read too much into a tweet, but it sounds like the header size overhead and number of options are the primary reasons for not using IPv6.

Note also that IPv4 and IPv6 are nearly independent of the routing protocol.

Also, my first job was writing discrete event models of wireless communications equipment, including a couple satellite models. You'd be surprised how simple satellites themselves are. A lot of work goes into moving the complexity from the fragile, expensive, and out-of-reach satellites and into the ground stations. I wouldn't be surprised if packets weren't at least partially source-routed, which might very well involve broadcasting GPS-like tables of satellite orbit parameters.
Yes, I've been reading about psychedelics. But that seems to be more to spark creativity (and there also appears to be some actual therapeutic benefits to it). Whereas opioids or stimulants seem to be used for different purposes.
The AI was clearly faster, which is no surprise. But since the "correct" answers for the test were assigned by one group of humans, and the correct answers in real practice are also determined by (a different group of, compared to either those running the test or those taking the test) humans, I'm not sure that result that the AI was more correct can be in any sense meaningful.
Based on reports from people I know: Apple already has a great deal of stuff in the NoVA datacenter cluster near Dulles and will most likely not spend any money to put more there. They need to be geographically distributed for latency and reliability reasons.
Thanks! Actually, we have this feature planned on our roadmap, it just hasn't been implemented yet.
Thanks for the reply and the edit. And you're right, I'm just trying to figure things out before I get to place where the consequences are more real. I could have worded the original comment better, I think it came off as arrogant.

If I can find projects that are open source with public documentation of pain points would it be beneficial to read through their discussions etc, to get a sense of the issues these projects faced with scaling, with the goal being to glean some insight into what went wrong and maybe avoid common pitfalls and save myself time trying to reinvent the wheel.
The AI's effect is that some tasks get automated and require much less labor but in many cases a real human lawyer is still required to communicate with the client.

* Does that mean some lawyers or law firms which make good use of the technology might offer lower prices and gain market share?

* Is there latent demand that may be induced into the legal market once the costs are cheaper?

* Can lawyers retrain to specialize in other laws and thus increase supply and lower costs for less automatable areas over time?

I know little about the legal market. So I'm curious if the above analysis makes sense for it.
hope this guy does some kind of kickstarter with the parts. I would buy one in a heartbeat.
i may have a somewhat atypical story and experience to share with you as i was certainly a heavy user of mind altering substances during the period of the past where I was a white collar software engineer. ive sent you an email about it, hopefully we can discuss it there. but all that aside I am madly interested in the potential output of this project as it has strong relevance to my individual life path.
There should be! Any serious consumer of cloud storage has an abstraction layer that let's you store new data in arbitrary locations on site or across public clouds. Companies frequently write their own middleware connectors.
A lot of weed and alcohol. People more curious than that will try LSD, schrooms, DMT, cocaine, Exctacy and MDMA. And pretty much any other drug they come across, at least once, except opiates. Never met anyone in IT doing opiates as far as I know (could be wrong). That is my experience amongst colleagues under 40 in the IT industry. Doesn't differ much from the other industry I've been in. None of these people have been effected by their weekend sins much besides hungovers and a thinner wallet.

I specifically mentioned the famine, to bring up the contrast between the worst possible kind of poverty and how it affected people like my parents.

This video can be called "Microsoft the Good Parts". Also WPF gets only one mention and the future is Azure? So is WPF heading the way of Silverlight?

On a side note, I wasn't aware that the agreement with the US government was meant to expire after ten years. Is it a coincidence that right after that we got the Windows Store push?
I'm not so sure about that (never seen it myself)... but cocaine is a LOT more prevalent than people realize.

There is a funny meme I saw recently that rings true:

The best part about tech in NYC is that it isn't a non-stop, in-your-face bubble the way that it is in SF/SJ. I work in tech but enjoy having friends in fashion, finance, real estate, advertising, etc. The conversations here are much more diverse. Interestingly, that same diversity helps improve the tech sector.
The last couple years I've become more active in my daily life. My jeans just aren't allowing me to do random physical stuff i'd like - there are range of motion issues. (Mostly I worry that the crotch will rip out if stretch too far or step too high).

I would love an alternative to jeans that doesn't draw attention and provides the durability of jeans in addition to better range of motion.
I will be checking that email too, later today, and will respond. Thank you.
If I read anything about human reproduction, I remember "The Egg and the Sperm: How science has constructed a romance based on stereotypical male-female roles" by Emily Martin. https://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/Martin1991.pdf one quote in relationship to the comparison between ovulation and spermatogenesis: "By extolling the female cycle as a productive enterprise, menstruation must necessarily be viewed as a failure."
I can relate to both mindsets. I stay more frugal despite not needing to, so $700 is a lot to me. But the vitriol of saying "thou shall" is what I dislike. The psychological trauma of fearing the spending of any money is real ... but I'd rather have a dose of it rather than none at all.
i find psychedelic experiences to be very beneficial to productive states if you wield them properly, and stimulants often do help with focus and efficiency when it comes to working, so, i could certainly see MDMA having some very beneficial neurological effects during the course of the experience.
I worry we're approaching a situation where everyone just assumes their data is out there, lethargy / ignorance of the users sets in stone, and as on the whole we don't make any progress security wise.
A Programmer Burnout Story; How to Recognize It and Avoid It
Investors’ Zeal to Buy Stocks with Debt Leaves Markets Vulnerable
> Over the years, people have stripped that context away and turned it into something like this: "Learn at least one new language every year or you're not a good programmer."

It's generally bad advice to set up unreasonable expectations for yourself. For some people, learning one or two languages (on an extremely shallow level) in a year could expand their mind and make them more well-rounded. For others, it might just be an invitation to a pointless busywork competition with your peers. You learned two languages last year!? Well, I'm going to learn three.

In programming, we have no certifications and no licensing. If you can write a program that does something useful to somebody, then congratulations, you are a Licensed and Certified Developer, I guess. There's no definition between the in-group of "true" programmers and all the other hacks who just got lucky. A weird side effect of this is that these divisions emerge naturally through developers' individual journeys of professional growth. "You don't become a true programmer until you do X." And so on.
> The quotes are to indicate that this isn't about what they consciously want, but about what evolution tends to optimize.

Sounds like the author tries to address your point.
completely true.
Some of us really needed the convincing, ok.

In all seriousness though, I had heard that my whole life but never really knew how to implement it until someone explained it in this way. It's lifting with your hamstrings and glutes and upper back in reality, not just "legs"
> Even a short phone screen where I just ask someone to code a simple question takes 20-30 minutes of my time (plus however much time I need to get back in the zone), so HackerRank is appealing if only to weed out the very worst candidates.

But you took 20-30 Minutes of their time too, the only difference is that you get a compensation at the end of theses 20-30 min, they don't. If someone told me, "OK , i m gonna waste 3 hours of your time in exchange of a mere promise of a job", i will simply decline the job.I work 9hr/day , I have better things to do with my free time...
> The best case is that lawyers feel the pinch, because that’s maybe the only way we’re ever going to see real legislation to protect people in this area.

Probably not; while lots of legislators (and lobbyists) were trained as lawyers, protecting the jobs of people who actually practice law isn't really something that shows any evidence of being a priority in that class; in fact, a large majority of them spend much of their time railing against practicing lawyers as a class.

Unless the political and electoral calculus forces them to adopt protections (to which the threat to practicing lawyers is pretty much irrelevant), don't expect any action.
Is that "UTF-8 with BOM" or "UTF-8 without BOM"? - because I've had lots of trouble with things supporting only one of those two options.
High stress, high pollution, rat race of a lifestyle, you are regulated and taxed on more things you even thought possible, and one of the worst imaginable places to try and raise a family. It has it's pros and cons, but I think we both agree it is certainly better than Silicon Valley. It's great if you are a young professional figuring out the world, but eventually people want their space and be able to stretch out their legs.
Ok, can you provide any sources for that claim?
THE BAT PROFESSIONAL EDITION 8.2.8 CRACK PORTABLE FREE
Sure. LSD is very special because it actually helps to focus more as well as increases creativity (if we're talking about microdosing). Stimulants and opioids are not really that common. High quality cocaine can be seen but it's not really "normal" like the other drugs are. Meth, crack and heroin are hugely frowned upon, it's a failure to be a user of these. MDMA and LSD have very different effect based on dosage. It's entirely possible to work (better than normally) on small doses and of course it's purely recreational in bigger doses.

Anitta – Sim Ou Não Feat. Maluma – REACTION
Not in those terms. But I believe that list is achievable by the overwhelming majority of Americans if they were to make better decisions. The ones who can't afford to save a 6 month e-fund when they're childless are living precariously as it is and sure can't afford the disruption to their budget a kid would entail.

I feel like I'm talking into the wind here. I guess I hold unpopular opinions around here. Is personal responsibility so unpopular? Or do people not believe that decisions we make affect our lives?
Goldman-backed startup Circle buys Poloniex cryptocurrency exchange
Yup. I used adrafinil(prodrug of modafinil) regularly during university and found it particularly useful in my programming classes. It helped me get "in the zone" while avoiding the euphoria, BP issues, and recovery periods/withdrawals that stronger stuff does. Plus it doesn't show up in most drug tests.
Never say a number. If you want to give the option to the cop to give you a ticket with a lower fine attached, just say "my speedometer said I was okay." And that will probably result in a citation for an equipment violation instead of for speeding.

You can't say "I don't know," either, because that sets you up for some variation on negligent driving.

The safest response for the court record is "I don't answer questions without legal counsel present," but that is likely to provoke the cop into ensuring that there will be a court record.
The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. It's a shitty cliche but also totally true. :) What I've learnt is that technology keeps getting better but people stay the same. E.g the frameworks for building web sites are way easier to use than the ones we had ten years ago, but things like dealing with management and conflict resolution stay the same. Scrum and all the modern methods doesn't make one bit of difference.
I was thinking there might be a piece of javascript to read and write a cookie to a hidden field so you could keep a session variable for multiple page forms.
Glad you're looking into this.

As a counterpoint: I've been a developer 10 years. I've worked at a few established businesses, two startups (one U.S. based and one German), and two consultancies. I worked in-person in Charlotte, N.C. and remotely since then. I've never worked in Silicon Valley.

One employer had a "play hard" culture, encouraging alcohol (ab)use outside of work. I didn't stay there long.

Perhaps I've self-selected based on my values (I don't work overtime), but I've never heard drug use condoned in any of those places, or at conferences I've attended. And I've often heard overwork spoken of as counter-productive and exploitative, as a thing that wise coders avoid.

I was not aware that "drug use as a programming aid" existed in the industry, though, human nature being what it is, I'm not shocked.

Just a caution that this shouldn't be portrayed as if it's ubiquitous without statistical evidence of that.
I don't know what those are, I'm sorry. I'm not in the industry (software engineering/tech) so am not familiar with those (though I know they exist). Is it something I can do in the next hour?
"Known vulnerabilities in application libraries are just as risky as those in the server dependencies, and the responsibility for addressing vulnerable app libraries falls to you – the function developer."

Mini-box has a number of dc-dc converters and battery charging systems for gel-cell and other batteries. I do not have personal experience with their products, but I'd try them first if I wanted something other than a hack.

For hacks there are tons of boost converter boards on eBay/aliexpress, but these typically don't have chargers, short protection, or other features you might want if you need more robustness
Couple of thoughts.

My wife was a law firm junior associate in the banking law group of a major firm during the S&L crisis. She spent a lot of time on the due diligence work involved in merging sick S&L's into each other. I suspect that if faced with a similar Augean stable, having auto-summarization and auto-triage would be a hugely beneficial. True, need for fewer junior associates since they are looking only at exception documents and otherwise tuning the "queries", for lack of a better term. But I think it would help even out the work load and the net impact is a healthier organizational structure. (That experience made her rethink her career path, she ended up in corporate practice doing software licensing.)

In the area of patent law, claims have a very regular structure and I think their analysis would yield to analysis given the current state of machine learning. Given the stakes involved, it seems to me that automated claims checking and claims analysis would help everyone. Patent firms could produced better work product in less time. There is no great surplus of patent attorneys, and given the time and cost constraints, many companies pursuing patents tend to establish a budget and attack patents in priority order until the budget is gone. I don't think patent firms will end up billing any less in total, but simply bill the same for more patents each completed for less money. As a small-time inventor, this would be good, because if you only want one patent, you see your costs reduced.
> But you took 20-30 Minutes of their time too

Yeah, with often very high ratios (I've seen above 100:1 in positions where I had information more than once recently) applicants for open positions, hiring simply isn't going to work if it requires symmetric time investment from hiring managers and applicants.
I agree. I was just going to write this. [My version would have been less articulated.]

I want to add a small warning: There are many "predatory journals" that will charge you to publish whatever rubbish you want to publish. Avoid them because they have no real value.
It will change when those people suffer very real consequences of the endless attempts of data mining -- such as being denied health insurance for something you posted on facebook.
True, if we're talking about poor ol' Hayek and Rothbard... but Ayn Rand discourages it and she's the standard bearer. Interestingly, I always found the aesthetics, philosophy, methods of Randianism quite Stalinist.
Finding a good fit is easier said than done for probably most of us. Fortunately there are also new stretchy fabrics (including wool and denim) that give wonderful range of motion even when tightly fitted, or (in an unlucky situation) ill fitted. For example, you can find men’s slim fit jeans that look normal yet are flexible enough for even yoga or rock climbing.

Now that I found a brand that fits my build and uses this type of fabric, regular, non-stretch denim feels so constricting I avoid it entirely (and without, ahem, having to resort to men’s yoga pants).
Google Cloud Storage does have an S3 API so maybe they migrated some off AWS.
I don't know if WaPo changed the headline or if this was an attempt to shorten it for HN, but the article currently has "could rule for life" rather than "to rule for life."

The latter may well happen, but at least for now, it's only the former.
It seems to me that a lot of government laws are created assuming people will continue to do what they have been regardless of how the rules changed. The idea that people will do something different in response to a law, like switching from few full time positions to lots of part time positions to avoid paying benefits, seems to be completely dismissed.

It reminds me of therapist mandated reporting of child abuse making it so those most at risk of committing child abuse no longer seeking therapy, leading to an overall increase in harm. Or the HIV laws in California that resulted in people refusing to get tested. And it makes me think that limiting ones ability to own a gun based on mental health will result in people being less likely to seek mental help. Why is there such dismissal of secondary effects of laws even after seeing them occur?
And the drugs that are frowned upon... that's (as far as your experience goes) in the tech industry? I know lawyers that had meth addictions. Peter used coke, adderall and meth. It sounds like cocaine is more widely accepted (and perhaps legal stimulants like adderall, ritalin, concerta, etc.?)
