I am Alisha Cook, and i am from Montreal, i came across an advert on this website a few weeks ago claiming to give loans, i was very skeptical about contacting them because i was scared of being defrauded, but due to the fact that i was very desperate and the advert had a website i decided to give a try and applied for a loan, within 3 hours i got a reply and, after filling some forms and registering with them i got my loan and the best part is they have an awesome interest rate and i do not have to repay until six months, so i urge you to give it a try and you will also have a smile on your face just like me.

This is the website and phone number i used to apply in case you really need a serious lender and not time wasters you have here online.

With a true 'd = 0' for entangled particuls you could have faster than light communication no?
But entanglement as far as we know now doesn't allow FTL communications.
Thanks Zekio. I think this emulator would be much handy next time.
You probably hit on why some people love them and why some don’t. I think it depends on the manager, the employee, and the nature of the job. When I was an employee, I hated them. As a manager, I talk enough with my employees that scheduled 1-on-1s are unnecessary. We are also so busy that I can’t see scheduling 1-on-1s. But I could see other companies, employees and managers being different.

I think unfortunately no distinction has been drawn between combat and war. War sucks, but apparently combat is very compelling.
We had/have similar concepts at my first employer NASA/JPL and my current employer Red Hat. At JPL we called them Quiet Hours, in practice were closer to 30 minutes and they were held at least monthly which is significant amount of time when managers had 15 or more subordinates. Sometimes we rolled them into lunches. At Red Hat Consulting, we’re geographically distributed (even if geographically organized) because of our projects so we do 15-30 minute calls once or twice a month.

It’s a practice I’ve induced my managers into since JPL. And they’re hugely emotionally helpful since I don’t normally have a team that I work with to bounce things off of at lunch or happy hour anymore.

Kudos to you Elliott. Sounds like you’d be a decent manager to work with.

"Chrystal with periodically re-arranged structure"?
I have no strong interest in any particular niche, other than maybe embedded and graphics programming and those have a high barrier to entry. You generally don't find too many jobs much less junior level jobs in those fields.

What has happened in my career is, I have brought myself up to what I admit to be an "expert beginner"... through jobs that have been mostly lonely and unfulfilling experiences for a programmer (not a whole lot of experienced peers to network and learn from). So life has given me lemons, might as well find out how to make lemonade from them.
I have felt this for a long time but have lacked the ability to put this feeling into words. Thank you for doing what I could not.
> Most of us have to make a concerted effort to be mindful and open to the unfamiliar

Growing up, I came to believe that the word "concerted" means something like "effortful" or "work hard to do something". I later learned that it actually refers to a group of people working together (in concert) to accomplish something [1]. So technically, a person cannot make a concerted effort to do something alone.

Seeing the word used here in this technically incorrect way leads me to wonder how uncommon my experience is. Are we on our way to redefining this word with a more relaxed definition?

There is no delay for other countries, at least for Employment based green cards.

There is some fixed number of employment based green cards that are awarded per category(EB1,2,3) with rollover between categories. The reason why there is a delay is that there is a country-wide cap on a percentage of total green cards awarded that year. So countries with higher number of people immigrating have a queue. If there were thousands of Australians immigrating, there can be a queue there too.

I am not sure about Canada though, as there maybe some other category for it.
Samsung outperforms Optane in sequential read by 15-20% and loses at random read by 3-4x (at low queue depth). And watching video won't show any difference, you can watch 4K video from HDD. I know nothing about streaming, though, but I would be surprised if it makes any difference.

Typical database load is an example of big queue depths. You have dozens of queries executing simultaneously and you're interested in throughput. So Samsung SSD is fine there (and raids are even better), unless your database is not typical and serves only a single client with low latency requirement.
I'm not trying to argue; there are not "arrow" characters in the ASCII character set. sh, csh ksh and bash were all developed on ascii terminals. Brian had an Ann Arbor Ambassador which does do 8-bit ASCII but we always had them configured to set the top bit as a "meta" key, so essentially you had 7-bit ascii as well. All these terminals were connected by serial lines to computers (an unusued Vax 750 in the case of the GNU project; that was the machine he developed Bash on -- for the other shells, developed at Bell labs, ksh was also developed also ib a vax while sh and csh were developed on PDP-11s IMHO). You can see the key layouts available back in the days of ASCII terminals here: http://xahlee.info/kbd/vt100_terminal.html and of course use man ascii.

FWIW anyway Brian wouldn't have thought about those keys as the intended use of Readline would have been emacs keystrokes (emacs, or EMACS as it was in those days, had recently been ported to Unix by RMS).

Interestingly our 36-bit machines (PDP-10s and lispms) had arrow glyphs on their custom non-ASCII keyboards (KTV and space cadet) but they were for mathematical notation, not cursor movement!

Cool, I was thinking of learning this recently. I also wanted to find a book on amateur astronomy but still have no idea what exactly to look for.
Samuel Coleridge famously claimed he was interrupted by a "man from Porlock" while writing down the poem Kubla Khan. There's some debate about whether he was using interruption as an excuse for not finishing the poem. In any case, it's not just coders who hate having a train of thought broken.
I'm already addicted
Me too! I've also been looking for an astronomy app that's not super complex, and not like a projection of the sky, just a list: "What's in the sky tonight," ordered by most-commonly-wondered about. Like "1) If you look to the West you'll probably see Venus."

I'm not disputing that there is some data collected about people that they never consented to

<Random app> requires access to Contacts ... Meh <press OK> ...

Now your entire phone/email book is out there. Your Mum and Dad's phone number is in the hands of several shysters along with all the other stuff you store in your Contacts. I wonder how many bank PINs encoded as part of fake phone numbers are out there along with other extra data? Its no accident that most Contact lists actively encourage gathering more data eg birthdays and much, much more.

That's just your bloody phone book. >30 years ago I had a little black address book stuffed with lots of people's address and phone numbers (and a lot of happy memories). OK it also had my bank PIN but that was carefully disguised in a way more complicated to reconstruct than needed to memorise the actual digits. You would need to put me in dire danger to obtain that data - I still have the little book and Google does not (fuck 'em). Nowadays you only have to claim that your mapping app can't work without it.
If you tried that, you would get a screen informing you that searching US Persons is forbidden. As it sounds intentional in your scenario, you would then be fired and be subject to further action.
Kinda the opposite. If you redefine what "distance" means, that's explicitly how you's avoid FTL communication and eliminate the EPR paradox. Again though, I really am not an expert, or even more than armchair knowledgeable, on the subject.

How (Almost) Anything Is Made: “The Making”
There's more than one definition of the term. I do agree that the definition and examples you are using are common.

"In economics and in public-choice theory, rent-seeking involves seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth." - Wikipedia

I would say that applies to making a profit off of property one owns by charging people to use it.

> Companies complaining about GDPR goes into the same category as companies complaining about minimum wage for me.

It's more like complaining about any other compliance cost. Consultancies are making probably billions of dollars off of the General Electrics of the world preparing them for gdpr compliance. Then you've got the legal fees. And in the end it feels like you have just burned all that money, because in most cases, regulation doesn't actually accomplish anything. But hopefully it is all worth it for the cases where it actually improves people's lives.
Thanks for the clarification, I respect your decision. Also thanks for what I imagine to be the rather thankless effort of moderating HN.
One of the reasons SSDs felt so much faster than HDDs was the massive improvement in 4k r/w. If Optane is considerably faster in that space then it would definitely be a consideration as your primary/swap drive.
Ok. I see a blank page, so I guess that's very informative, thanks.

I don't think this is a very useful contribution.
I can see it working, up to a point; introducing management can shift how things work overall, but if a company can get away with it, and that's what works for them, then great!

This isn't really the main point of his article, but he glosses over one very important point about young people & the work ethic today:

People who get labelled as "freeters" aren't necessarily bouncing from job to job voluntarily. For decades Japanese corporations were labor-heavy because of life-time employment. When the bubble burst, they broke that unspoken promise and shed themselves of thousands of workers.

When things picked up again, instead of returning to that previous promise, they hired temporary workers. No benefits, no annual pay raises or twice a year bonuses, etc. (And no loyalty from these workers)

The Japanese corporate system is set up that you are hired after college at a low salary, but you are guaranteed a steady climb until you can retire comfortably in the end. The corporations pulled the rug out from under that system.

So you now have many young people who have been fully employed at MegaCorp for 3 years, but on a contract basis, never knowing when it will end, never getting a decent raise...

If you read newspaper and magazine articles here you realize there is an enormous sense of insecurity among the 20 to 30 year age group; and so they are unwilling to take risks, get married, buy homes, etc. People are retreating into themselves.

It would make sense that that is linked to minimalism - or at least, a reduced consumerism - but that would only be my own speculation.
I've never heard of a corporation run by somebody who wants to make less money.

I've regularly heard elected government representatives argue that their government should be smaller, less centralised and less intrusive.

What exactly made you think these situations were in any way analogous?

Pre-2003 BBC regularly used to hold the government to account because it was explicitly independent and it had a charter that emphasized its responsibility to the public. That kind of set up simply isn't possible if you are advertising funded - the conflict of interest is too great.

Check out http://tkdocs.com to get started _properly_ with tkinter.

The blocking thing you can do in two ways. First, put your blocking stuff in another thread and do it there, and when it's done call back into the main thread to tear down the alert.

The other way, to play nice with the event loop, is to do something like:

makemydialog()
Tk.update_idletasks() # process events so that the dialog shows up
do_my_stuff
teardown

If within do_my_stuff you can periodically call update() to process events, it'll give the appearance of being more responsive.

After you get a bit more experience with doing some GUI stuff, and if you want to have a more long-running GUI, it will become more natural to think of initiating everything in response to event handlers, as opposed to the batch model of running your program linearly from top to bottom.
The people you're talking about are "anarchists".
I completely agree - this document is worthless without follow through and accountability; which honestly was my motivation for writing mine. I want my reports, peers and boss to know how I expect to work and hold me accountable to the promises I make - I am not perfect, but the principles I outline is what I strive for.
"security in depth". This is the kind of problem that can't be solved via specific technology choices, or technical standards.

Instead, it's a matter of understanding that most attacks involve several pivot points; and that these pivots are possible because we treat internal networks as if they are "safe spaces" where we can let our guard down.
And one spent a good third talking about how you should feel about termination, the risks thereof, and what you should do about it.
I’ve been happy with Sky Guide over the years. It’s not a list but it tells you what you’re looking at and you can set it to arbitrary times and locations. Like I can know what my girlfriend would see in Argentina tonight while sitting in my apartment in the US.

It is a projection and not a list but it’s very handy and helps you identify objects better than a list would.

Juicero may have headquartered in San Fran because it was the "cool thing to do", but the founder lives in Brooklyn. I suspect that the San Fran HQ was HQ in name only.

Weather certainly does have an effect on culture. That said, the East Coast vs. West Coast, U.S. vs the World rivalry is mostly contrived, and claims that one area is more innovative than another are dubious. It's reasonable to claim that the Bay Area has more of an engineering-centric culture, but that is likely due to a) Intel and b) the presence of multiple well-funded National Labs within close proximity.

If you look at the case of Leland Stanford, for instance, you'll notice that he maintained pretty deep personal and economic ties with his hometown of Albany up until his death- a lot of his success wouldn't have been possible if he hadn't been able to rely upon his extended family in the East Coast for support.

Stanford University was actually originally supposed to be in Albany, but was the location was switched to Palo Alto- allegedly because people got greedy. Instead Albany got a children's orphanage sponsored by Stanford's wife, which didn't last past the 30s. [1]

IMO, the usefulness of things like CPY is being easy to read, without too much noise or boilerplate.

(cout "hello") confuses the hell out of those with some C++ experience. It changes semantics if a known object for little gain (cout is callable, a statement)? Like someone else said, a "printout" new statement or function would be better.

It's the kind of things that makes me question the design of the whole language.

> Processes have the same problem in addition to being generally less efficient.

What I meant was that you should consider a multiprocessing approach that shares essentially no data between processes. As you say, the memory copying overhead is highly inefficient. Once you approach a problem like that, you've already implemented an essentially distributed system and the change is trivial.

I've regretted multithreading enough times to convince me it's almost never the right choice. Mostly because I find I've underestimated the project scale and needed to rewrite as distributed. Maybe those new monstrous instances available on EC2 will change my habits. I've never had such flexible access to a 4TB RAM / 128 core machine before.

Assuming enough RAM to hold the source tree, how does build time with root on mfs/tmpfs compare to the NVMe?
That's a very... nothing-saying article. It mentions that some professional (money-making) movie reviewers gathered a decade ago for an interview, and admitted that it might be nice to get an opinion of a large audience through the internet, rather than only a few reviewers'. And from that it half-concludes that there is some tension between the two (online, 'democratic' platforms and the professional reviewers), and cites someone who hopes they can coexist or something. Umm, okay?

So how did the actual film industry change? All I read is about reviewers potentially having gone out of business because reviews can be found in bulk online.

> "[...] there is little in the way of the internecine strife rending America’s public discourse at the moment. What keeps Japan from flying apart, in the face of ongoing political, economic, and demographic uncertainty? A standardized national curriculum that insures a shared level of basic educational experience? An egalitarian pay ethic, with far less income disparity than there is in the U.S.? A refreshing lack of a 24/7 news cycle or televised punditry?"

The author is trying way too hard here to push their American political agenda. Are they implying that e.g. if we suddenly had an equitable education system our nation would suddenly be at peace?

What keeps Japan from flying apart in the face of uncertainty? I doubt the author would ever admit it as it's not very politically correct (and doesn't fit their agenda), but, before all the superficial options the author proposes, the homogeneous society in Japan is the number one thing keeping their societal fabric strong. Conversely, the heterogeneity of America is a big factor making our situation so tumultuous.

I'm an American currently working in Japan. Japan is awesome, and each day I witness cultural customs or processes that just wouldn't work in the US - and I think in large part it's due to nearly everyone being Japanese and raised with the same values. That's not to say I think America would be better off as a homogeneous society either; America is great in many other ways because of its incredible diversity, though it means we have challenges no other nation has had to face before.

But to ignore the role of diversity (or lack thereof) in the strength of bonds in a society is dishonest and misleading.

Side note: as an expat in Tokyo, I often feel bad for simply existing there. I try to conform to all the cultural norms here, but sometimes its hard to, and I know there are many expats who simply don't care to try at all, and I feel like this is slowly leading to the demise of an awesome aspect of Japanese culture. Indeed the neighborhood I live in, which is the expat neighborhood Roppongi, already seems to have lost some of the Japanese charm - with dirtier streets, rude people, expats being loud on the subway. Most people lock their bikes in this neighborhood now and a friend couldn't find their phone after dropping it at a bar the other day here (almost never happens in Japan - your lost stuff is either where you left it or taped to a nearby wall so you can easily find it). Purely anecdotal but, as I said above, I think the more heterogeneous Japan becomes the more of this culture we take for granted will be eroded.

There's a word that describes the transfer of wealth from one country to another to achieve a desireable political outcome. It's called tribute. On a personal level it's called bribery.

It could have been the best option at the time, especially with nuclear weapons in the mix.

However it's also very convenient that those deciding to pay the tribute or bribe (government bigwigs) did not have to pay out of their own pockets. In fact they were able to skim a portion off for themselves.
Great. You've made your decision, can you get on with geoblocking the EU and stop your fucking whining, please?
