I can't even see the real link because our anti-spam software rewrites every single one (so they all look like https://somesubdomain.mimecast.com/linkcheck?something=as8fg...). Even more annoying it loads the URL before you even get to it, so single use URL's like Salesforce password resets get burned before you can use them (we finally got this fixed with our old Proofpoint setup that did the same nonsense, I haven't pestered them to fix it with Mimecast yet).
The point of the article is not about whether you relate to or understand the emotions of the people you have to lead. As a founder, you are very unlikely to be an absentee manager.

Rather, it is describing managers who don't really have a purpose or view on anything.

For example, let's say one of your employees completes a project or assignment. If they ask, "did I do a good job?", would you be able to answer that - do you have a standard for "good" in your mind, a sense of what the company is trying to do, and assess how that project fits with that purpose? If you can do that, you are not an absentee manager. There are good and bad ways give feedback, but doing it at all means you are not an absentee.

The kind of manager being described by the article is unable/unwilling/uninterested in the organization's goals and how their team's efforts fit into the goal. The absentee manager will almost always respond to a request for feedback with "you are doing great, keep it up", regardless of the actual output. This is a soul crushing kind of experience.

Unless they kept it a secret (and they haven't if they've "let affected customers know privately"), Troy, by refraining from posting it, would, in a single act, lose all the good will and respect and credibility he's spent YEARS building up by acting professionally, honorably, and highly competently.

So, yeah, I think it's quite safe to be confident he wouldn't do that.
I think I understand what you're getting at.

Additionally, how would you even prove "well I didn't hire that person because they belong to the wrong political party" short of someone actually saying it and documenting it against themselves? Racial discrimination laws can be exceptionally difficult to enforce, as I understand it.

In an ideal world, what my employer thinks shouldn't affect my political actions. As usual, real and ideal are far apart.
The XY problem is kind of famous and I actually didn't make that website (although I find myself citing it all the time). I kind of "invented" the AZ problem because I ran into it multiple times at my previous job and thought about formalizing it in some way.

I would imagine that if all the crypto people moved to some smaller email service with a more lenient policy, this service would end up with far bigger deliverability and blacklisting problems than Mailchimp ever had.

From here, it may be possible to kick the bucket down the road a couple of times but basically I think it's game over.

The worst manager I ever had was one who couldn't fire anyone. We would go through the game of goal setting, performance review, feedback, etc., but it was all for nothing since my colleagues all knew he had no power so they just did what ever they wanted (which was nothing). Productivity ground to zero and most of my colleagues spent their time on various political games if they bothered to come in at all.

The sad thing in all this if he could have fired the worst few he would have been a great leader.

OTOH, that you even chose to watch a movie is a sign that you are interested in the genre. Just because I abruptly stopped watching “Star Trek IX”, doesn’t mean that I have abandoned the sci-fi genre or even Star Trek

Not a direct answer. Its usually for SEO. But, I would recommend Backlinko [0]. SEO can be a factor in Internet marketing. So I would recommend that.

Other than that, it depends on what product you're trying to market.

If its a blog, then you can post on HN, Reddit, your niche related subreddits, etc...

If its a product, then HN, Reddit, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, some news outlets like The Next Web, LifeHacker, etc...

The things they're announcing here are a turndown of support for creating new goo.gl links and a more flexible but slightly differently focused replacement, both without breaking existing links.

Your comment is a general one that, while entirely valid, applies to all URL shorteners. How is that somehow different in the case of Google's shortener or this transition?
Corruption or not, having a lucrative reason to leave animal habitats alone and try to keep the animals alive (or even encourage the species to increase in number, which has happened for some species) means that people are more likely to do that and less to despoil the land for other purposes.
2 different categories, that's all... they both could not compete with each other (more then likely).
You mean in the Hacker News sense? From skimming the article, I'd say three things. (1) The signal/noise ratio seems high, i.e. there is a lot of factual information and relatively little ideological noise. (2) The story contains complexity, for example in the relationships between the people involved, that makes it less predictable than the median. Predictability is what we're most trying to avoid on HN. (3) It's a new variation in the ongoing shift in discourse about these behaviors, which is an interesting new phenomenon in the guidelines' sense (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

So yeah, there's a lot for people to rant and repeat about, but I think also some substance to consider, and maybe yield some insights about. We're asking users to make a conscious effort to eschew the former and go for the latter.
He wouldn't be a victim in that case. If he had killed someone else in addition to himself, I'm sure you would be more keen on holding him responsible.
Probably not, since Nvidia eGPUs are not currently supported by Apple.

Although, it is possible to compile TensorFlow from source with CUDA support for macOS. You have to make a few tweaks to the source code and symlink some libraries.
Sorry, but language doesn't matter that much if the entire environment/stack is decent. If you are using overly "clever" features of the language, then you may be writing write-only code that has a high probability of tripping up new hires.

A lot of those same factors still apply. If the giraffe becomes a species that exists only in captivity, I suppose it's better than it not existing at all, but it's basically a failure from a conservationist standpoint.
I think this deserves a serious answer.

In the case of Kricfalusi, he first approached these girls when they were much younger - pubescent. He used his authority to pressure them into relationships (they worked for him!). The interest was not reciprocated. This appears to be a repeated behavior pattern. It's super super creepy.

I hadn't heard of the Seinfeld thing, so I looked it up. The girl turned 18 shortly after they met. She did not depend on him for his career. His other partners have been age-appropriate. Most importantly, she doesn't appear to be aggrieved, unlike Kricfalusi's victims.

Seinfeld's relationship age difference is eyebrow-raising and maybe a bit cringeworthy, but not inherently damning. Even young adult human beings have agency.
The real question here is, why do Americans still start working so early? I mean, that's so XX century. I come to office at noon at all four of jobs that I have/had.

Come to think of it, maybe it's weather-dependent.

It isn't. That's why the article exists in the first place.
Personally, I used to get substantially better results. It would suggest to me a movie I'd never seen before with a score above 90, I'd watch, and enjoy. Now I'm getting things like kids shows suggested to me. I double checked by history to make sure no one watched one on my account, but they keep popping up with high percentage. I also really like horror and get weird suggestions [1] for similar movies. After I watched Alien it suggested the Great British Baking show. I literally have 0 trust in the new ranking system. They push certain shows way too hard and TV shows I'm watching show up on page 3 of "continue watching".

This is far from my previous stance of "Huh, movie I've never seen before and in a different language? It's 95% so yeah, I'll give it a go."

And before someone says anything, I do vote up and down quite frequently. But can't help but notice that my suggestions were better when I had the more nuanced star system.

Big Mouth: I have ZERO interest in watching this, please stop suggesting. I have downvoted this! Waterboy: I like it, but far from 95%. I'll give it like an 80.

I develop for several different platforms on macOS, and have never felt the need to enable that setting, because I've never encountered any macOS software that required the Fn keys in this particular non-idiomatic way. Even macOS IDEs stay away, tending to map things to complex key-chords instead.

I am really puzzled by the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It's not particularly savory, but is there something happening here that it wasn't basically already known about how Facebook worked? By the protests of their own executive, the system was working as designed, and at worst Cambridge Analytica misled them about how they intended to use the data, right? There was no actual security breach here, as far as I can understand it.

It does not require CUDA or cuDNN on the client machine, it should work on most GPUs (even mobile) but won't be as performant as CUDA / cuDNN.
For an explanation of __is_constant(), see the thread where it was suggested: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/845 (this was also indirectly linked to in the article)

This is incorrect. I can show you my cast iron pans and various pieces of carbon steel which are well-seasoned and do not impart soapy tastes. Soap does not damage the seasoning on a pan: https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/11/the-truth-about-cast-iro....

Every cleaning solution that doesn't include a surfactant is worse. It's slower, more labor, intensive, more water-intensive, and it leaves baked-on crud behind. The latter two are both much worse for cast iron than soap.
I’m not a medical professional, but my understanding is that an “epidural” is an injection of an anaesthetic drug (by catheter) into the epidural space. That is, the spinal canal, where the spinal cord and spinal fluid reside. The drug has a higher specific gravity than the cerebrospinal fluid, so it descends in the canal and anesthetizes the nerves along the way.

If you had an epidural while upside down, it could eventually reach your brain.

XMarks is shutting down on May 1, 2018
Just got this in my e-mail:

On May 1, 2018, we will be shutting down Xmarks. Your account will remain active until then, including the syncing of your bookmarks. After that date, your bookmarks should remain in any previously accessed browser, but they will no longer sync and your account will be deactivated.

At LastPass, we’ve staked our claim in password management, and providing our community with a high level of password security. After careful consideration and evaluation, we have decided to discontinue the Xmarks service so that we can continue to focus on offering the best possible password vaulting to our community.

On behalf of the entire LastPass and Xmarks team, we wanted to thank you for your support over the years.

Very few "undecided" voters truly are; elections are won and lost by getting your supporters to go to the polls. So if you wanted to use scurrilous, fake news to help your candidate, you'd be better off sending stories that will get your supporters really fired up and eager to vote and get their friends to vote, not trying to persuade the practically nonexistent undecided demographic.
In the open source world I feel like this type of leader is a strange kind of "final boss" which you can only defeat by forking the game.

I'm a bit surprised nobody has tried to start up the "what are tuples really for in Python" argument in this thread.

The definition given -- "Python tuples act like immutable lists" -- is correct as a description of behavior, but the decision of when and whether to use a tuple versus a list or some other structure can be a pretty contentious one in some Python circles.

There doesn't have to be a security breach for it to be a very bad example of using data collected in one way for a completely different purpose. It violates the 'lawful basis for processing' part of privacy legislation.
FWIW, in Perl 6, gradual type checking and function signatures do exist, and parameter flattening is only applied if the signature calls for it.

sub foo(@array,$scalar) { }
foo( 42, [1,2,3] ); # compile time error

Signatures are also first class citizens in Perl 6: check out https://docs.perl6.org/type/Signature for more information.

It's possible for these constructs to be present in many languages and predate Python's adoption of them, and for it to be simultaneously true that a lot of idiomatic Python relies on these constructs.
* See my note about the trackpoint ... it's sort of terrible now. Matter of taste, granted.

* Yep. Never got good results.

* Yep, the issue was not with display layout (I did configure with arandr and then xrandr directly, but that had more to do with some distros supporting old pre-display config Xfce).

And yep, agreed, that's why I'm just using a desktop tower now. I'm not saying the issues I experienced are truly intractable, but I've been using desktop Linux at a low level for a while now and got to the point where I threw up my hands... ymmv.
But he should have been. Tesla's cars are not self-driving. The automated driving features are supposed to assist the driver, not replace.
The EU should do a unionwide ad campaign pointing out the fact that the much-maligned eurocrats have actually been working for years to fix this very difficult problem that's only now becoming apparent to the wider public. The timing couldn't be better as GDPR goes into effect just after the Facebook/Cambridge scandal.

Unfortunately all EU institutions are terrible at marketing. If they did an ad campaign, it would probably be a TV commercial showing Jean-Claude Juncker giving a speech with subtitles in 15 languages.
I'm pretty impressed by their science reporter, actually. It's a pretty cogent "hey, waitaminute".
Youtube does better than Netflix for me, but they still suggest stuff that I have already watched. Sometimes stuff I literally watched an hour ago. And I watched one Joe Rogan episode and it will not stop suggesting it to me but fails to notify me on things that I watch every episode on; like 3Blue1Brown, Robert Miles, or Rare Earth.
Twitter doesn't seem much different to me now than it did five years ago except that US politics is getting mentioned more. The idea that some people have fake followers and that makes them look bad isn't new.
Cobalt Robotics Raises $13M from Sequoia for Indoor Security Robots
I have a friend who shares my account since I stay with him when I am in the UK. It isn't worth the effort to have two profiles.

So, he likes horror movies and will watch any horror regardless of any signal that it's going to be poor. You can look at the viewing history and see he rarely goes beyond 5 minutes of watching any of them.

I watch Netflix regularly throughout the year, he watches in phases that last a week or two and then nothing at all for months at a time (for reasons that should seem obvious by now).

As a non-horror movie aficionado, I can say with certainty that only 2% of horror movies are ever worth watching and only 50% of these are any good. As a consequence, my personal viewing history includes almost no movies in this genre.

My favoured genre is drama and I normally watch all the way through.

You should be able to guess by now that I should rarely be recommended horror movies but, alas, Netflix thinks otherwise.

Btw. I also rate movies I watch - my friend doesn't.
Or the "You need to read my mind to win" Game. I feel like that crops up a lot in romantic relationships a lot too...
Interesting, I'd never heard of it before - but it puts a name on something I think we've all experienced many times. The AZ problem is a useful generalisation too, it digs towards the root cause.

Do you know if it belongs to a category of problems, in the same manner that e.g. the "either-or" belongs to the category of logical fallacies and confirmation bias belongs to cognitive biases? I always find those types of categories useful in building mental models.
Fair point, I was unaware of the HR-related lawsuit
I’m surprised this is necessary at all. Wouldn’t a compiler at any reasonable optimisation level optimise __cmp_once into __cmp automatically (and then into the resulting max constant) if used with constants? Seems like very basic constant propagation.
I don't think you addressed "how would a potential employer view that?"
> and who surely all have the 'Use F1, F2 keys as standard function keys' set.

Why? As a heavy emacs and Xcode user at least, I rarely need a function key, and prefer the convenience of the media keys.
I feel like watching 20 minutes of a movie and then downvoting should be a strong indicator. This does not appear to be the case. In fact, it seems to be more likely to appear as the first suggestion when I do this.

"... it seems like they were worried that the Mac was increasingly marginalized as a platform for AR/VR development ..."

If, by "worried", you mean: they went out of their way to smite and thrash the organic core of their customer base, ignored their most basic requests, and deleted five years from their product lifecycle (nobody used the trashcan mac pro) ... then yes, I suppose they might be worried.

Maybe they noticed how many copies of High Sierra are running on firmware-modded 2009/2010 mac pros ?
