It should burn pretty cleanly (as it's just carbon), but who knows what it would be mixed with in an actual application. Could be mixed with all kinds of plastics and resins that are nasty when burnt.
What I can never reconcile with is that when mainstream media means 'toxic' they are never referring to the /r/latestagecapitalism plastered all over the front page of reddit. They protest the fact that somewhere, hidden from popular view a minority of people hold a different view from the extreme leftist one.
> The fact that the i7-8700K shows up as slower than the i7-8700 now is a bit weird too.

It's impossible. The 8700K and the 8700 are the same chip, just that the 8700K has an unlocked multiplier and a higher default clock[0] - better binning. The 8700 will never be faster in any application.

There are some subreddits where they are hidden for a period of time (not sure how long, but it's quite a while). I wonder if anyone has analyzed those?
When I was at IBM the story about IBM legal asking for permission to use JSLint for evil was a classic. The original post appears to be dead, but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5138866 discusses it.
It's funny too because these days in Windows it's so easy to tile to halves or quadrants (the semi-maximized "snap" states and their mouse and keyboard shortcuts), yet macOS seems to have regressed to mostly encouraging only full screen/maximized apps (with most tiling options disappeared from system menus and now seemingly relegated to third party tools) and so many web developers seem to be on macOS these days.
They can ditch CUDA, and start using AMD in addition. It's still not a huge increase in choice, but better than one.
I've been very happy with my 1700. There were some initial POST problems from a memory mismatch (they are very picky, it seems) but once that was sorted out, it's been terrific. Video encoding goes much faster than it used to. No cooling problems with the included AMD heatsink & fan.

The questions for me are: Is it worthwhile to upgrade? And will my old memory work in with the new CPU? (my guess would be "no")
Thanks. Just emailed the pgsql-www (PostgreSQL web devs) mailing list with that, so it's not missed. :)
> . A lot of studies out there show that the most important factor for a hiring success is culture, not skill.

No! Studies show that above an sufficient baseline level, having a baseline of soft skills matters more than marginal differences in tech skills.
Alot and, by virtue, notmuch are great. I recently switched to alot after using mutt for years, and I love that extensions can easily be written in python.
Author here. The point of certification is to ensure transparency. CockroachDB is open-source. Our entire benchmarking - tools, scripts, are also open source, and the results are from runs on public cloud providers. You can replay our entire benchmarking runs. We think this is more transparent than auditor certification.

Auditor certification is also time consuming and expensive. We'd have to do it with an on-premises deployment, which means that the auditor certified version wouldn't be easily reproducible the way our current benchmarks are. If we see customer demand for auditor certified results, we'd certainly be open to the idea.
Are there companies where people don't periodically move on? The culture right now is to hop between companies. It's not necessarily a bad thing. People get tired of their work and need novelty.
Reddit is just a reflection of the world. There is both good and bad there. It is very easy to avoid the bad. Only visit the subreddits that you know are good. For instance, I'm a boardgamer and r/boardgames is a very friendly place. Other subreddits I frequent like r/woodworking, r/bodyweightfitness, r/campingandhiking are likewise places that positively contribute to the world.
No need, there is already an industry standard that works across all hardware.
> I would never do a homework project as the first step in an application process. I would do one as the last step, after I had learned enough about the job and the company to decide that I really wanted it, and they had narrowed down the field to me and a handful of other candidates.

When I was job hunting last year, the steps typically went like this.

1) 30 min phone call

2) Homework

3) Algorithm Exam

4) Onsite

I typically got rejected at #3 which means the homework meant nothing.
Later report ruled that turning back on was going to be a much risky option with possible collateral damages on the ground.

There are marginal nice subreddits, but the platform as a whole has a problem.
You can speed it up arbitrarily...

What’s wrong with r/latestagecapitalism?
work environment, fluidity of assignment, career opportunities, acceptance of suggestion, involvement of developers into the design process, key tools and applications, workflow automation expectations...

there are lot little details that one can ask and will give you back a picture of how the working environment is going to be. here's a good starter list, even if I find it too formulaic and question you need to ask heavily depends on what your role will be: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-s...

also, as an interviewer, if a candidate doesn't ask about the work environment and daily operations I'll take it as a potential sign of the candidate having never reflected on its own craft.
That's people doing margins wrong. They see a CSS property called 'margin' and go for that, which ends up only working well for displays and window sizes comparable to their own. What they should be using 'margin' for is to specify the minimum outer padding and combine it with 'max-width' to allow the browser to apply flexible margins appropriate for whatever window size the reader actually has.
I'd actually argue that Windows handles "not maximizing things" better than Mac from a usability perspective.

Sure, the visual treatment of maximized windows felt "more natural" on Windows, but the Mac's #$@&! global menu bar often made moving between multiple non-maximized apps more annoying (especially on a large display).
Interesting observations. However I disagree that Reddit can be understood as one entity.
This is a great list, thanks.

I also made a site for this, but rather than aggregating the various job boards I'm trying to track down the companies themselves that hire remotely and aggregate the postings on their own sites: https://www.mikesremotelist.com
Or.... “In the last decade, most of the big U.S. airlines have shifted major maintenance work to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and China, where few mechanics are F.A.A. certified and inspections have no teeth.”

Senior roles should have more demanding technical interviews than junior roles. The company had a bullshit-preventing immune system. It's not a culture fit for you. Win-win.

(Un)fortunately you can't be prosecuted for crimes which were not illegal at the time of the offence.

Of course this doesn't take into account activities retroactively deemed "wrong" by The Great Twitter Mob which can have some serious effect on your livelihood because you made a Richard Gere gerbil joke some 20 years ago.

ublock's "content rule" feature gets a lot of use out of me for this exact reason.
> The incentive structure is simply growth at all costs. There was never, in any board meeting that I have ever attended, a conversation about the users, about things that were going on that were bad, about potential dangers, about decisions that might affect potential dangers. There was never a conversation about that stuff.

This externality-disregarding culture was idolized in SV for the last decade or so. It's nice to see some self-reflection, but unfortunately the VC community, without heavy regulation, is structurally unable to value anything other than growth.
Reddit is a reflection of the internet world. Don't forget how many people don't use the internet at all, or people who interact with the internet in only a minor way during their day to day (a debit card transaction, a text message, a social media notification...)

Many air carriers perform heavy maintenance checks (which are labor intensive, taking the interior of the aircraft out and later re-installing everything) in lower-cost labor areas, all the while under the supervision of FAA-licensed mechanics, to the same published standards, at the same schedules as if it were done at a US maintenance base.

US-based labor, unions, and other pro-US-labor supporters are up in arms over it, using typical "dirty, lazy, substandard foreigners" scare tactics and implying that the safety is compromised in pursuit of dollars.
"A markdown editor, that allows you to edit live."

I see this exact grammatical tick, adding a comma where one shouldn't be after a noun clause, all the time. Maybe it's native speakers of some other specific language that tend to do it? Which one?

Reddit is simply a reflection of the communities that you decide to browse. Browse only the communities that interest you and ignore the rest.
Admins do nothing to prevent extreme moderation as occurs on there from deleting any comment with an alternative viewpoint. Yet it appears quite consistently on the front page with only agreement in its comments section.
Fundamentally, the problem with the site is that Reddit was happy getting growth on the back of people searching for jailbait[1] and creepshot porn and white supremacists for years and they have a user base that reflects that. A lot of the power mods that run the largest subreddits are just awful human beings. I don't see how they fix that short of nuking the whole site from orbit and starting over.

My point was precisely that plenty of languages have LSP implementations at this point, an f even in those, nobody has cared much to try to find an alternative to json rpc.

As for 2, all I'll say is based on history in llvm projects, I'm not anywhere near as optimistic as you. The history here is simply not one of all great things. The PR is, but the reality is much more mixed (some really great things, some really not so great). So while I certainly am hopeful, it's definitely not the unbridled optimism everyone displays here.
Research whose primary purpose is typically to get published. I have a hard time calling it espionage if you could get the same info from a JSTOR subscription, or emailing the reaserchers to talk about their work.
Your ToS starts off by stating "This agreement is a legal contract between you and us.", but there's no definition of who "us" is, there's no page that I can find identifying who you are or what your registered address is in case of a dispute.

Edit: I'm looking at your web page (I don't have any Apple products, so I can't see what your app has).
I think there is a very important distinction that needs to be made. The popular reddit experience is vastly worse than the customized reddit. It took me a while to realize that my reddit experience was vastly improved once I was very picky about which subreddits I follow.
I've significantly reduced my time on Reddit. Used to pull up the website out of curiosity every day but the atmosphere is incredibly toxic. My front page was riddled with Russiagate stuff too for some reason and every time you'd bring up an argument that isn't the norm you get a mob after you.
As a greybeard still running Blosxom, I love seeing the resurgence on HN lately around RSS feeds.

My setup:

1. https://feedhq.org/ for syncing between mobile and desktop or reading via web browser. $12/year or grab the source and host it yourself. Easily import/export OPML, so you're in charge of your subscriptions.

2. http://reederapp.com/ for reading on iOS and macOS

3. Inspired by Slow Feeds (recently renamed as Web Subscriber http://zoziapps.ch/web-subscriber-5-0/ ), I added a new "Slow" folder with all of the high-quality, low-frequency feeds. Made my daily reading far more pleasant.
Thanks for the suggestion, we've added it to our list! Meanwhile we've banned the account, of course.

I now prefer UWQHD to my 4k monitor. It's like having two screens side by side without a seam.
I think you're focusing optimizing lifestyle to suit a desired transit style (public transit and walking), while the historical development mindset was to optimize transit style for a desired lifestyle (suburban living).
Probably because they don’t have the same level of professional certification and legal oversight as the FAA ensures for maintenance work performed in the USA.

As many on Hacker News know, I've been an avid fan of Reddit and believe that their data and community, and there's still a lot more that can be done that can be derived from that data that can't be found anywhere else.

That said, from an administrative perspective, the intense hands-free policies are baffling. You'd expect a company based off the nature of community would engage with their community and their needs. Admittingly, that's not very profitable.
I'd say extreme moderation is probably the opposite of toxic.
I wasn't being smug, I was being curious.
There are two things that might be helpful for you. 1) A password manager like onepassword or lastpass would make managing logins much easier (and more secure). 2) Take a look at accounting software, especially ones that support importing POs (purchase orders). You can also take a look at some services that manage your accounting needs for you
Maybe to your experience, but it likely is a filter for others.
It is not worthwhile to upgrade. The difference between the Ryzen 7 1700 and the Ryzen 7 2700 is small, the slightly higher clock and performance improvement does not warrant an upgrade. The new processors are just a new nice option if you are not already on a current cpu, like an old FX or a dual core intel.

Your old memory will work with your new cpu, to 99%. AMD improved memory compatibility with software updates, and the memory support in the 2000 line is supposed to be better again. If your ram is slower than DDR4-2666 you lose some performance compared to what you could have, but that was already true for the 1700 - DDR4-3000 is a good minimal ram speed target, as Ryzen profits a lot from being combined with faster ram.
It would be cool if one of the big distros head a test suite for SBCs. The knowledge that the pi is well rested and supported is probably the biggest thing holding me with them. Well, and I think they're a really great organization which has driven a lot of innovation. But knowing that I might spend three hours screwing around with WiFi definitely keeps me from even trying out competitors.
I thought it was because panel manufacturers could make them cheaper if they used the same components for monitors and TVs.
Around my office, we have two common setups. A large 30" display (16:10), or a super-wide curved display.

The super-wide is way too short, vertically, that I have no interest in using one.

I actually have two of those 30" displays on my desk. My approach is do to most of my work on the primary, and to shove some chat windows, log windows, etc, to the secondary. So I'm really using all of one display, and maybe half of the other.
(Of course once displays get this big, the other half of the secondary display is too far from my field of view anyways.)
Right, I meant it's just as "possible" in the sense of it not really being practically possible.
Using manure as fertilizer is very different, in the sense that anything grown in fertilizer can be washed before eating. We don't generally wash things between cooking them in oil and consuming them.
this, just have them do a small subset of something you already do. It tells you so much. I also tell the candidate that if they complete it and it works they are guaranteed to be hired at some level. At the end of the day if you can't show me your work on a open source project, or demo me something you made, there is no way for me to know you can actually build something until you do! Especially true for junior level positions!
AWS, particularly Lambda, step functions and budgets.

The business is a marketplace addon.

Lambda functions handle the webhooks to add, upgrade or remove the addon.

Step functions handle guiding new users through onboarding, by sending email reminders automatically re-configuring the service based on customer actions.

Budgets make sure a customer is not using more resources than they are paying for, and send email alerts to me and customers at various usage amounts.

I have extracted a lot of my AWS and Lambda software into an open source boilerplate app:

It's amazing how little code and operations this business requires!

Horizontally scaling TPC-C with sharding is nontrivial, as the TPC-C specification requires cross-shard transactions. This is the intent of the TPC-C benchmark: real world use cases seldom shard perfectly. CockroachDB scales to 30 nodes in this benchmark while hiding all this complexity under the hood.

As far as beating Aurora, CockroachDB's 3 node deployment has fewer vCPUs (48 vs 64) than an active-passive replicated Aurora RDS instance, and matches it in performance. CockroachDB also scales horizontally, as we show, from 3 nodes to 30 nodes, linearly increasing its throughput. I don't believe that 10 shards of Active-Passive pairs of Aurora would scale linearly to 10,000 TPC-C warehouses, and as far as I'm aware, Amazon has not made that claim.
I agree with a lot of the jokes/memes posted there that make it to the front page but the actual rules for discussion within the subreddit are kind of far out there. I guess one might call it the (publicly acknowledged) equivalent of the unspoken rules for the r/the_donald subreddit where many things written in opposition to trump are deleted by the moderators.
I think this is an important distinction. I could never quite understand what all the hub-bub was until I realized that.

I've used my account to comment since before they added subreddits. And I never stumble across one of the "toxic" ones except for the rare occasions when one of the other subreddits links to those ones.
Wow the pendulum has swung from "employers don't ask any relevant questions" to "I mistrust employers who ask relevant questions".

Reddit is the only popular website where rational discourse can actually happen, thanks to the infinitely threaded conversations and complete markdown.

While there is objective rude comments on there, this is why some people call it, "toxic," because their ideas are challenged, and they'd rather preserve their ideological bubble than seek to understand reality.
right, because the rules of the subreddit indicate that. The subreddit has its own mods that follow its own rules. And the Admins of reddit do not get involved unless they're peventing a lawsuit. Which is kind of how the internet should be run. Free and safe from mass control, but communities controlling themselves.
same here, looking for a local web developer, getting people that can't spell the difference between the various css positioning. 8 in 10 couldn't pass a javascript version of foobar test and 3 in ten even got some basic stuff from the assignment wrong (like, printing 0 to 99 instead of 1 to 100)
It's not insurmountable, but it's absolutely time consuming, especially when it's not a regular aspect of your job. I recently had to do exactly this for a prototype that I built and it took up a good 10-20% of my total project time.

Another way to look at this is, are you more concerned with testing a person's end-to-end or development skills? There's no right answer, but you have to realize that testing one comes at the expense of the other. If your company often uses brand new development stacks, it might be important to test a candidate's ability to do exactly that, but if your company has a framework in place that everyone uses, then it's probably best to focus on a candidates pure dev skills.
Reddit is a skewed reflection of the internet world. It does not appeal to all groups equally.
Looking for a shell language meant to be programmed
I remember one being posted on here a while back, but I'd be open to any shell that's meant to be programmed.

The Dilemma:
It's easy to start writing bash commands idly to do simple things, but when you want to wrap functionality into a library or program, bash is terrible and unmaintainable.

A shell language is designed to allow you to execute commands one-by-one on the command line and see their results easily. It's useful for small scripts, but anything large become unwieldy quickly.

A programming language allows you to create large readable and maintainable libraries. But using programming languages as an interactive shell is tough, while the functionality is all there, it's tough to access, and doesn't have the luxuries of autocomplete and other features, and the syntax isn't forgiving.

A shell language that is meant for programming would combine the best of these two and allow a programmer to just spin up a shell and test stuff and eventually wrap all of the shell commands they had tested out into a library.

Does anyone know of any languages like this? Established, or in-development?
Yeah I read a number of hobby subs including r/woodworking and it is pretty amazing how helpful and positive these subs can be. I do not ever go except for specific subs. r/vacuumcleaners helped me find a vacuum etc. Without reddit I would find a lot of bad info on google thats often just paid advertising.
Its as if the members of the VC community were a bunch of capitalists or something ;-)
Regulation doesn't solve all the problems. In and of itself, regulation can create just as perverted incentives as the existing VC culture. With the perceived impact that Facebook had on the election, I'm starting to believe our culture is evolving into one that won't allow such disregard with or without laws enforcing it.

You're right, censored discussion is probably a better way to put it.

I taught myself HTML5, CSS3, JS, and AngularJS in one month of signing up for CodeCademy Pro (mostly for the additional quizzes and live support).

Highly recommend it if you can devote a chunk of time to complete each course in one or two sessions.

The momentum in each lesson plan is significant and easily lost with a break in learning.
It would be great if you could explain the different entities or guide me towards somewhere I could read more about what you are describing.
