Unfortunately it seems like it's really hit or miss depending on which worker handles the order.

Some days I get exactly what I ask for really quickly, when other days I'll have my shopper switching 25% of my requested items with alternates (some of which are wildly off base).

My biggest frustration is that it seems like the shoppers aren't intimately familiar with my local grocery stores. I'll request an item that I know exists, they'll swap it out for something completely different and not what I want, yet if I personally go to the store, I'll easily find the item I requested.
My pharmacy does. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it in a grocery store and it seems rare just about anywhere else.
To me, the salient point of that analogy is that the engineer designed execution chambers for Nazis. The engineers who designed the Sherman tank, the Garand rifle, or the Spitfire fighter plane also built weapons, weapons that killed people, but the judgment of history is that those people needed to be killed and thank God for the engineers who made that possible.

So, there are two aspects of that: first, do you trust the people you're designing a weapon for to use it for justifiable purposes, and second, how does the weapon itself influence whether it can be used for just or unjust reasons? Gas chambers, for example, can only be used to kill someone whom you are already able to coerce into entering it; its only use is to murder a helpless prisoner. A Spitfire or Hurricane can shoot down bombers but not necessarily do that much damage on the ground. Orwell had an interesting perspective on this question: "Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows, and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon — so long as there is no answer to it — gives claws to the weak."

I really don't have answers. The stance of, "weapons equals bad, therefore it's wrong to ever help design weapons" is a pacifist notion, and maybe that appeals to you, but if you're not a pacifist, it becomes a complicated question with certain political ramifications.
It's great Takahashi lists prior art under "Reference of Past Works", explaining Braille Neue differs from previous attempts by

>design[ing] a typeset that correspond[s] not only to latin alphabets but also to Japanese fonts.

I wonder why those other efforts (or any effort) were not used for the braille signage one often sees at bank ATMs and in building interiors.

The idea is really cool and I like the aesthetic of Braille Neue, which looks monospace in its capital letters version. (Presumably a lowercase, if there were lowercase versions, would not map so cleanly.) Also, there is the issue of punctuation which would in some cases would defy visual/tactile mapping. [0]

In any case, what Takahashi presents so far is very very cool.

PC/Mac only you are right. I haven't worked in the industry in a while but I vaguely recall one had to purchase production time and essentially predict your sales for Sony/Nintendo if the system was hot in the marketplace. If you aimed too low, one had customers without product for an extended period (most traditional game sales are in the first weeks), if you aimed too low, you had to eat those DVDs/carts at a loss after the retailers returned them. Also with consoles, the devkits for each were priced ridiculously at something like 3000 for PS3 and more for XBox360 (and those things red-ringed like crazy, went through three in three years), and there were test versions and special development versions one had to use to debug, I remember there was one special PS3 that was I want to say 10000 that was the size of a desktop computer that our resident graphics guru got. So deciding to add on console support for a PC game like they did is a huge commitment for a AAA game, it is not simply a matter of using an engine that works on all the platforms, all the QA has to be repeated and there are different extra steps for every platform but they didn't even get to that step.
Its much simpler actually.

If you have a bunch of companies trying to keep their shit together while barely able to make their product and then someone kills himself simple because the situation is no longer worth living - then it is a sad thing.

If the product is one of the most successful things in human history the suicide is a design goal.

If we don't stand up to it and at least voice our objection we will all be treated like that eventually - regardless of corporate success or personal productivity.

The only other role is that of the psychopath pressuring those who do the work in order to meet the suicide quota. If you don't meet the suicide quota your workers are not working hard enough or you are paying them to much. It's simple business logic nothing personal.
The merchant and/or processor also have to be registered, although I don’t think that’s too much of a hassle.

It's an interesting claim that they are suffering less because they are doing it by choice. I'm not sure if it's true.

Doing it by choice creates all sorts of ill psychological effects. It means I have to convince myself to keep doing it, and as a result I'll try to convince myself of things like "it's fair" or "I like this" or so on. I think I might actually be happier as a slave than a wage slave doing the exact same shitty work and ridiculous hours as a slave because at least I can be honest with myself about the situation.

Normally wage slavery is better - because it means that the employers can't enforce quite as shitty conditions or long hours as a actual slave. But it's not clear to me that that is happening here, and even if it is happening here if you understood your argument to rely on it.
You're talking only about the public + free MOOC stuff, right? I think it's reasonable for that to be biased toward less specialized stuff.

Internally, Berkeley definitely isn't based toward the intro-level stuff. Quite the opposite. But the most polished, rehearsed, mass-manufactured classes are certainly the gigantic intro-level ones everyone takes.

I love that there's a typedef "Pelvis" (something to do w/ models, I'd assume). In lots of places in the code, then, you can have "Pelvis elvis;". Yay!

I used to have a PPC G5 iMac running Linux. It was fine; hitched me onto the Linux-on-Mac train for more than a decade once I finally ditched Mac OS X. And Linux already works nicely on ARM - it's the most common deployment.

This may be a terrible outcome for multi-OS users, but it's not guaranteed.

I watched the CLion sales pitch video after reading the recommendation. Binging around for the features shown I then discovered Visual Assist[1] which seems to add comparably nifty code completion/generation etc features to Visual Studio. I'm demoing it just now, it's definitely worth a look if you have an itch that needs scratching.

It's better to add bells and whistles on top of a rock solid foundation such as VS than the other way around imo.

Reminds me of the anime Planetes, about a group of space garbage collectors. In the opening scene, you're shown an innocuous looking screw floating in orbit for something like 10 seconds, and then suddenly a traveling ship appears from the distance, and the screw goes straight through like a bullet, causing all the passengers to die. I don't know how realistic that was, but it really set the tone for the importance of the characters' job in keeping the orbits clean.

Different cards offer different benefits. At a minimum, I want to have one backup in case I leave one at a restaurant or something wonky happens with fraud systems. So, yeah, I have multiple cards although I mostly only use two of them.
The two problems I care about most that decentralization is trying to solve are privacy and censorship. Another important one is not having something important disappear, like happened to millions of websites when Geocities went out of business. Also there is good connectivity for populations that presently lack it, like in African countries. Also there is connectivity during emergencies that cut off the centralized web.

I am a bit surprised you are not aware of all of these, since they have been extensively discussed in the last few years.

DOS did it because CP/M did it.

If I had to guess I'd say CP/M was developed for extra dumb teletypes that needed both to properly handle a newline. So many quirks in terminals date back to the days when everybody was just making it up as they went along. Legacy support is the root of most braindamage.

Look, this is a cute response and all, but downvotes and upvotes expose the posts that the "group" (in this case, the larger HN community) tend to believe in the most. If 2 posts rise to the top, it suggests to me that there's an overlap in people that are upvoting those 2 posts.
So the answer is "yes".

This is the fault of the bitcoin project, not coinbase. Bitcoin transactions should just work without the end user not having to worry about what's under the hood. Why the bitcoin client cannot just use segwit / schnorr automatically? Why it doesn't provide a simple API for batching? All that stuff is up to the end user to develop.
Like this company as a customer and admire them as an entrepreneur. They are smartly run.

You'll get no disagreement from me there. Like I said, and you seem to want to ignore, the US has done bad things. The question isn't "has this entity ever done anything wrong", the question you have to answer is: from the pool of available options, who's best?

> You’re free to define the scope of your ethics however you like, but again, these kind of simplistic appeals are increasingly untenable to most people. And many would probably categorize your adherence to their logic as “naive.”

It's your appeal that's simplistic. You're taking the world as you'd like it to be, rather than how it actually is. Someone has to have power. And if it's not the people you support, who's it going to be?
I see no way of controlling privacy in a decentralized system. It'd be like trying to delete all the emails you've sent to other people or stop someone from forwarding an email. Once you put the data out there in a decentralized system, it's out there permanently. Centralization allows for some control.
Thief controls are still great, they feel "crisp". I think System Shock is fine too, I even like using a mouse pointer to aim and interact with the world. Ultima Underworld I find a bit harder to play.
I believe this comment neither adds to the discussion, nor brings up a valid point.

When people discuss anything, all parties should strive for intellectual honesty. As the grandparent post used a false example, then it helps all sides involved to correct that and prevent it from happening again.

A lot depends on the age from which you've been squatting. I don't mean weight-lift squats, just squatting on the ground.

Most people from Asia are able to squat pretty comfortably, comfortably as in heel on the ground and not exerting any calf or knee tension, having done it since childhood. Most Western Europeans and Americans can no, the heel of the foot doesn't rest on the ground and squatting is done on the ball of the foot therefore calf and knee pressure.
just curious, why the down vote? i wish I can see who down voted, is there a way to check?

I'd suggest our frames of reference are too far apart.

Your statements indicate that you place the entire onus of responsibility on end users. I hold some fault toward users, but include fault in the providers.

Generally, the world isn't black and white.

Why do you believe users deserve all of the responsibility? What about in countries where the entirety of information in and out is filtered?

This style of propoganda may be a type of coerced information.

These are also private entities. They can legally and morally censor without recourse.

All in all, I find the triviliation of those possibilities distrubing.
I disagree somewhat on tailoring resumes. Resume writing is hard work. I think a resume should show someone's general experience, and the cover letter should highlight relevant ones or minor things that aren't in the resume.
Its also a legal risk to do any kind of billable work on a hackintosh.
Yup a lot of musicians are like this - some just don't have the commercial acumen to understand what they need to do to be financially successful (which isn't really easy and is to some extent fashionable.)

When I moved to Melbourne I started attending local indie shows and now over 90% of my friends here are musicians. All it takes to start a conversation is go up to someone after a gig you enjoyed and ask if you can buy them a beer.
> Being overworked is an excellent reason to hire. It shows that you are about to lose your team due to burn-out or extended sick leave.

I took the original comment to imply that when employees are overworked, it is due to a failure in planning to assure a project is adaquately staffed from the beginning. That is when you should hire, not because you just began to notice you failed to plan appropriately.

Sure, if someone is being overworked, hire to spread the load (if new person can ramp-up fast enough). But don’t put your employees in that position to begin with, because some of them won’t return to full productivity, even after you resolve the problem. Overwork for any duration comes at a cost.
Can you elaborate on MIT's problems with sexual assault? That's news to me. If true, I'm pretty sad to hear about this. As an aging alum, MIT is still a place dear to my heart but over time it feels like the institute I remember is slipping away... (or I'm just becoming more aware of reality)

(also not clear if you're referring to MIT or some other 'well respected engineering school').
It detects HN as a referer, and redirects to an unrelated image.
If you scratch a CD, as long as the scratch didn't scrape off the "label"/data side, you can just buff the surface of the disc with Brasso (brass polish) and a lens cloth. I'm not even joking -- you basically smooth away the scratches. I've done this to restore so many scratched discs. Just make sure it's the clear/thick side of the disc you're buffing, NOT the label (as the data layer is just underneath the label).

Hey Tiffany - Patrick from ProfitWell here.

I know you wrote this to Josh, but just jumping in here to address the ProfitWell side. :)

1. You're 100% right. We don't have a live demo. We're working on a solution for you here, but it's been delayed for some other cool features. Happy to share when we launch something for you. I know a call can be annoying, but it wouldn't be a sales person. Most metrics demos are from our product/engineering team. :)

2. As for pricing - we don't typically hear it's confusing, but it's 100% free forever. We make money through our add-ons. There's definitely something here to get better at though, so I'll take this back to the team to make it rock.
i had high hopes for this when i first heard about it but it's no good for me as it requires you to modify your docker-compose file to suit it's needs

I know exactly what "permissionless" means in this sense. However, given the only way that a transaction is materialized in the blockchain is for a block to be mined by someone, that sounds like a bottleneck to me. A pretty bad one if Proof of Work is being used!
Once upon a time there was Google Desktop, and it was incredibly useful. I wouldn't trust Google on my machine anymore, but an open source replace ment would be great.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop
While that’s true an individual company might still elect not to do so.

However I think that the biggest difference is that Google employees have the luxury of saying that because from both a corporate and personal prespective they take zero risk.

Worst case Google let’s them go with a nice severance to avoid lawsuits and they’ll find another job by the end of the week.

Workers in a steel mill that might be lucky to even have a job don’t.
bballer start with requirements and then evaluate tools/stacks based on that. Your requirements will help guide your research of what's out there and is best for the job.

All technical disciplines use this approach including ours.

While it seems helpful and fun to see what other people are using, you'll come to find that it's just a salad of product names and marketing gibberish. ;)

Trust your process.
Re 4:
Article 30 in The Constitution Of India 1949
30. Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions
(1) All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

This was put in the constitution as a guarantee to linguistic and religious minorities that they
could maintain their identity within the vast majority. This was in liu of the more unpalatable option of providing special representation in Parliament for each minority group. In subsequent years after independence the Supreme Court clarified that the minority status would be determined by state. So presumably, you could set up a school in Mizoram if you are a Hindu. Or a Hindi language school in Tamil Nadu. If I am not mistaken, Sindhis run their own colleges in Mumbai under these minority rights.
Almost certainly :-)

i never tried this but i think it's similar to docker-sync, where you still have to modify your docker compose files. it's not good for people who want a single consistent docker-compose file that would work across varying distributions (ie; opensource project).

The point was not to complain about how bad the Docker is but rather to highlight that a lot of unexpected things may come from the fact that the kernel is shared.
"Logging too much" was just a reason for the posix_fadvise being called too often but this becomes a problem ONLY when the kernel is shared. In case of virtualization, everyone gets its own version of fadvise (the kernel) and the conflict doesn't happen.

> When people realize they need to classify a file in more than one way, they will start to use shortcuts/links to try to solve the problem. (Windows has shortcuts, Unix has soft/symbolic links, and Mac has aliases. This is a ubiquitous feature, but transferring shortcuts across existing platforms is very hard.) This sounds like a reasonable solution, but will face trouble in all but the simplest use cases.
