You are missing the reason I'm surprised and amused - and I'm really not sure how much clearer I can be here. It's not that healthcare services themselves are charged. The baby is billed. Like a letter with the little transparent window with the name and address of a couple-of-days old child is sent.

If you cannot see why that seems weird, shocking, amusing ... whatever then I don't know what else I can tell you.
How about the size of the new gmail?

I would say a serious attempt at cleaning any amount of the ocean is better than no attempt.
It looks like the good things of Inbox are now in Gmail.

That would explain the lack of updates on the Inbox iOS App (which still doesn't have proper iPhone X support)?
None of the logics mentions even touch the idea of quantifiers. Which is the way most math proofs are written nowadays.
It is strictly more powerful than any multivalued logic.
The tabloid newspapers in the UK do this sort of thing all the time. I'm not sure what that says about TechCrunch, if anything.
So if you find something you'd better make a copy of it yourself because it might be going dark. Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of the Wayback Machine?
ZetScript Programming Language
ZetScript is a programming language with an API that allows bind C++ code in script side. ZetScript includes the following features:

-Virtual Machine
-Language syntax close to Javascript
-MSVC++ 32/64 bits MSVC 2015/2017 or build tools v141
-Linux/MinGW 32/64 bits, g++ 4.8 or above
-Save/Load state support
-Dynamic Garbage collector
-Straightforward way to bind C++ variables, functions, classes and its members
-The library size is 1Mb on gnu toolchain and 372KB on MSVC++
-Override operators through metamethods

A helloworld in shown in the following code,

#include "CZetScript.h"

using namespace zetscript;

void say_helloworld(){
printf("Hello World!");
}

int main(){

CZetScript *zs = CZetScript::getInstance(); // instance zetscript

register_C_Function("say_helloworld",say_helloworld);

zs->eval("say_helloworld();"); // Call c function and prints hello world!
return 0;
}

Obviously, I don't know your situation but I know that self-taught programmers are harder to quantify in terms of their skills. I've known self-taught programmers that right beautiful code but I've also known self-taught programmers that write spaghetti code. I know it's the same situation with cs degree students but at least there I know they've gone through a training program that at least tried to teach them the basics. I can't say the same thing for self-taught programmers.

Keep in mind that for a while now IT careers have been the hot field so a lot of people have gone into it to study. When you got your job 11 years ago that was not really the case so employers can now be picky as to who they hire. I know many of my friends complain that they've gotten jobs that don't pay what they were expecting and that's basically because there's more supply than demand for those possitions.

I know for a fact that if I'm hiring for a full-time position I would look for a programmer that has a CS degree. My advice to you is to get some kind of degree while you're looking for a job so at least you can show it in the future.

I also suggest to you that you start working on your professional contacts and create a network of people that understand what your skills are and let them know that you're looking for a job. If people understand your skills they're more likely to hire you or recommend you to an employer.

Also, keep this in mind, people are more likely to hire people that look like themselves so when you go into these interviews make sure you don't stand out. Make sure that from the start they feel that you are part of the team.

You should also look into going to mock interviews so that your interviewers can let you know what they thought you did well and what you did bad.

Unless your speech is horrible then speech therapy classes will do little for you.

A bland expression isn't respectful, it's bland. Apart from the really fake stuff, which I agree is goofy and just as much an expression of weakness, I also think to some a smile is "goofy" because they can't possibly imagine having good reason to smile even as an intelligent, responsible person. That might make sense in Russia, for gangsta rap, African child soldiers, and so on -- in scenarios where the average person doesn't have the resources and the firm grounding to be open towards the unknown and the stranger, where kindness can only be some kind of plea for mercy or patronizing, instead of the simple friendliness of someone at peace with themselves and their surroundings.

Maybe I'll stop smiling briefly when I pass by someone who will just misunderstand it; but when I'm with myself and the world, or with people or animals who are content, I smile a lot. Why not? Not doing so would be the mental equivalent of not just smoking, but lighting cigarettes with hundred dollar bills.
Even producing electricity from non renewable in large power plants is better than using these same fuels directly: large power plants are much more efficient (close to 40% energy efficiency vs 30% for vehicle motors), and allow much more easily to filter out pollution, including CO2 capture. Sure going from diesel to coal would be bad, but going from diesel engines to diesel power plant would be a significant gain.

Yes, the documentation loves to use complicated concepts and is very hard to understand. also its a ton of boilerplate code.

I think redux just became hyped because of its "time travel debugging" which is just pure functions returning some stored values.
Agreed, it doesn't make any sense to apply those rules retroactively.
Backlink Building Strategies: Easy as a Piece of Cake
Well, BYD has a factory with a capacity for 1500 electric buses per year opened in California last year: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-10/07/c_136662718.htm
So I imagine the majority of their buses sold in the US in the near future will be built there. Of course that's a small proportion of the number of buses they sell in China...
>Usually those tricks are not even portable across compilers on the same platform.

That's much less of an issue. If it can work on GCC for example or Clang across platforms, you're OK for tons of platforms, even if you can't change compilers intra-platform.
Here's the price list for the private hospital they used.

Note things like "If your baby requires transitional or specialist care, this is free if they are entitled to NHS care and is chargeable if they are not." -- British (and EU etc) patients can pay for the luxury private room and so on, but if they unfortunately need significant extra care, public healthcare will cover that.

What often happens is consultants/temps are leased to fill in temporary gaps. Short term it's cheaper (and faster) than hiring for permanent positions.

And sure, people typically don't run on 100% capacity. What however seems to happen in many bigger orgs with vague performance metrics (as much of IT work is), some people do solid 60-80% productive work throughout the day, while some barely hover over 0%. So you have a kernel of workers pushing the cart and a bigger cohort of watercooler crowd. When peak load time comes the latter don't ramp up their productivity to 100%, but instead it's expected the employer should expand the staff.

Nothing short of impending layoff rounds seem to affect this dynamic.

Yes, it's difficult if not impossible to live in most places in the US without a car, the only real exception I can think of is NYC.

However, it has nothing to do with the size of the country, it's in the way towns and cities are laid out.

For one thing, discrete residential and commercial zones separated by vast distances and linked by highway are the norm. This makes it impractical to walk or bike to work or shopping. In suburbia, there is no such thing as a corner deli...

TeMPOraL had the most plausible explanation up thread a bit - apparently it's there as a copyright claim safety-net for Wayback Machine, but making a feature that runs counter to the whole point of the site publicly available makes my head hurt.

Perhaps having a bot generate a synopsis of removed content, and showing that in its place would solve any copyright issue fairly elegantly?

While doing a bunch of research on exactly this problem space recently for a project, I stumbled onto this improvement on the Norvig corrector idea http://blog.faroo.com/2012/06/07/improved-edit-distance-base... that's one of those things that's so deceptively simple you kick yourself for not thinking of it: it turns out you can model the same "generate all the variations" effect but generating only the deletes, rather than also the insertions and substitutions, if you symmetrically apply the same transformation to the lookup side. So if your dictionary contains "cat" and you want to match queries for "cast," rather than adding "cast" to the corpus, you drop the s (and every other single letter) on the lookup side instead, and still match. Turns out it's much faster and, requires a much smaller index, and as a bonus, doesn't tie you to a specific alphabet like Norvig's approach does.
Am I the only one that dreads new product updates recently? I used to be super enthusiastic about every new update for everything(cool! more stuff!) but Android, Youtube and Windows 10 updates especially have made me extremely jaded - it feels like every update I either lose some functionality or something I used every day has now moved to a completely different place for no good reason. I seriously consider disabling firmware updates on my phone for that reason( if not for security updates, I think I would have done it already) - I don't want to re-learn my devices every time there is an update. Youtube interface has changed several times in the last year for me, every time moving some links that I use all the time elsewhere - "my videos" for example is now hidden 3 layers deep, when previously it was on the front page. Just why. I don't want your new shiny interface, I want to keep using the stuff that I know.
You're sometimes right, but sometimes really wrong.

I had a candidate for a 3d graphics job, who showed me incredibly impressive things he'd programmed like very realistic water simulations, etc. He talked us through them, was incredibly articulate and clearly knew his stuff.

He completely bombed the coding exercise. It was something like: given 2 hours alone at a computer, with a threejs scene already setup, make it display a few cubes at different heights, colors, etc. Full access to internet, google, etc.

He couldn't get one cube to show up. That's maybe a two line piece of code when given the entire environment already set up, and you can find it by googling Threejs tutorial and copying like the first example.
I can't see the "Try the new Gmail" setting. Is there a geographic/locale restriction? (I tried switching my account to English without luck)
Real measures of practical significance are OR (odds ratio), effect size and dose response curve. Response histogram for statistical effects. (Or the 2D component analysis island histogram.)
Boston and Munich are about the same size; yet the public transportation system in Munich is significantly better (speed, coverage, comfort of stations and trains, accessibility) than that in Boston. That does not have to be. Instead they spent a couple of billions on the big dig.
Oh wow, this is neat! Some features like inline controls are a long time need. Good that they are finally here. I hope they refine further to make it look like a chat app cause that might further speed up conversations IMO!
It seems presumptuous to assume that because you reuse all your plastic shopping bags the rest of the population also behaves similarly. Can you cite a study that shows plastic bag bans increasing the total use of plastic or plastic waste like you claim? Everything I find says otherwise. Maybe a little bit of inconvenience is necessary to improve the environment.
Not just in China but in post-socialist Europe as well. Male chauvinism goes hand in hand with nationalist chauvinism and is the one of the first things to resurface back into the social norm as part of post-socialist social reform in all these countries.

Still, in the post-post-socialism (i.e. when the society recovered from the right-wing dominance of transition years) many of these returned to these values and I bet if one would to do an earnest comparison (which Western media rarely want, too much bias) they'd probably be able to count significantly more females in high politics, enterprise management and even entrepreneurship than in places like the USA, Ireland, Switzerland or other more conservative western countries.

In some of those countries, like Croatia and Serbia (even if they'd hate to admit it), even the right has been pushed, partly by inherited social norms and partly by strong female presence in the left to de-masculinise as well. Hence the female right-wing president in Croatia and the far-right lesbian prime minister in Serbia.
My understanding of their robots.txt policy is that it only removes the public archive of the site and they still have a private archive. That said, I'm working from memory here and I wasn't able to find anything in their FAQ to confirm this, so it's possible I've misremembered something, though I did find some forum posts saying that formerly-available archives returns a 403 instead of a 404, which might provide some evidence for this.
Am European, can confirm. The idea that the first thing a kid gets in this world is a bill for healthcare services is amusing in a chilly sort of way. I mean, it's not like the poor kid had a choice in the matter of whether he's born or not.

What happens if the parents can't afford it? Does he, like, get to go back in until the parents pay? If he had an ailment, and it got cured, do they give it back to him? Do they put him in suspended animation :-)?
And who don’t care that they’re going to get paid less than minimum wage, and work over 120 hours per week.

Presumably the numerous mentions of it being "really hard" to do this kind of thing.
The thing is, with health, if the effect of you action are not immediat, you are much less likely to do the right thing.

E.g : i know that if a drink a lot of raw milk i generally get a migraine. But it happens 24 to 48 h later. So i still drink milk from time to time because i'm not punished immediatly. It's future me's problem.

> If she and I had children, they would be Taiwanese from her, and would have to go to the military and learn how to kill foreigners.

Compulsory military service had been phasing out for years, if not fully by this year, almost certainly by the time your children would be born. Moreover, only men are conscripted, so it's a ~50% chance. Finally, there are various alternate services they could qualify for, in lieu of military service. So I'm not sure what your GF's been telling you?!
It's absolutely not a myth. It does depend on how you're getting your candidates, but assuming you cast a net a bit wider than "only people you know personally", then you run into these cases.

Our standard fizzbuzz question was something like: print the multiplication table. This is a loop inside a loop. I think every programmer should be able to do this given 10-20 minutes. Around 30%-40% couldn't. Like literally, didn't know how to do this in languages they supposedly work in. I'm sorry, I make lots of allowances for stress, I calm candidates, I tell them syntax doesn't matter, do it in pseoudo-code for all I care. But if after 10 minutes you can't print a multiplication table on the screen, I'm going to pass.

I agree with everything you said, but c'mon, down-voting nerd-humor is just wrong. If you don't "get" the joke, just move on; only down-vote if the humor is inappropriate. In this case, I thought my nerd-humor was welcome, and in the worst case, someone who didn't know about Hanlon's Razor would be educated and maybe have a laugh. It's not like this was toilet humor. Have a heart, HN :)
I feel like every design update any online service had in the past 5 years could be shortened to one sentence - "See less.".
Eventually you become the thing you hate... In Gmail's case, that will eventually be Wave!
Attractiveness is all about how much time and effort you spend on it. But what's most frightening is our bias on appearance, and how we treat people different based on how they are dressed/makeup. No wonder (hot) people, women in general, spend several hours every day just to look good.
There's plenty of Google developers creating nonsense to justify why they should be promoted.
I always wish I could just plugin a Google spelling check API into things like Microsoft Word instead of using the inbuilt ones.

i.e. the amount of times I cant spell a word, and MS Word has no idea what I'm trying to say, so I "copy and paste" the wrong word into Google and it instantly knows what I meant and shows me the correct spelling.

I appreciate part of that is probably related to my previous searches on Google and it guesses based upon my history - but I'd be ok with using this for "good" like my spell checking.
