That's called porting. And whether or not it is a lot of work depends on how much foresight you had about doing that at some point in the future. If you didn't then it would be a very large amount of work because platform assumptions would be baked in all over the place. If you did - and you were a disciplined programmer - then it could be reasonably quick. I've written software that ported cleanly between Windows and SGI Irix, the original was built for the SGI and when windows capabilities caught up it was relatively straightforward to port, I tried very hard to keep all the platform dependent stuff in a single file so I knew exactly which bits to leave untouched and where to use the chainsaw.
What is amazing is the rotational speeds involved. Say the flywheel weighed as much as a tesla. Think of the energy. Say you want to store enough energy so that a tesla can accelerate itself from zero to 100mph ten times. That amount of energy in a flywheel weighing the same as the tesla would mean the flywheel spinning at +/- 1000mph. Either this flywheel weighs hundreds of tons, or it is spinning at supersonic speeds. Either way, you better have some good bearings.

Quite poor people, if they get the chance, will probably pay for very-cheap real glasses even if there are even-cheaper silicone ones available. For people with no other choices, I can see the silicone ones being useful! But "hey, take these glasses we made for poor people" is not a great sales pitch.

When I was in middle school? maybe high schoo? 1990s somewhere, there was a long article about flywheel batteries for cars, they were claiming some very impressive range and power numbers.

I remember it was one of a million things I read about in sciencey magazines that never went anywhere, but maybe it was the one I was most sad about never happening (at least so far)

> you're asking customers to outsource the core pieces of their business (netops, backhaul, billing)

An alternative way to look at this is it's a "white label franchise" business where someone not steeped in the technology can do what they know best, likely acquiring and keeping customers. I don't know if it will work, but I'm interested to see.

> Full disclosure: Muncipal/coop broadband proponent.

Something like this could probably accelerate municipal, coop, and piggyback (e.g. local water district or other small, independent utility) to take advantage of local infrastructure without having to acquire skills in a completely new domain.
I don't think someone is ignoring the meaning of antifa when pointing out they beat people up. Or by calling them little-stalinists, given that some of them are stalinists, and some even offer "critical support" to Bashar al-Assad or Kim Jong Un.

But it's pretty misplaced. Social media companies and the state have more power than ever to control the spread of ideas, and antifa has a street fight now and then.
I think this misses the mark though. The main thesis of incels is basically that regardless of all other factors people can be so horribly ugly that no one in the right mind will ever desire them.

The Knowledge Portal Network Group at the Broad Institute [0] is looking to hire a senior, front-end, Java/Groovy engineer to maintain, extend, and improve our complex-disease knowledge portals [1]. You can find the complete job listing (and apply) here:

https://broadinstitute.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/broad_institute...

Our team aggregates and stores statistical data for billions of genetic variants and organizes them to be rapidly queried and visualized by biologists, statistical geneticists, pharmaceutical researchers, and clinicians to find genetic associations, treatment targets, etc. The size of the data we work with is expected to grow by at least an order of magnitude in the coming years.

The current portal code is built on the Spring framework, is primarily coded in Groovy, and makes heavy use of jQuery and D3 for visualizations. Our team also make significant use of Scala. Although not a requirement for this role, if learning and/or using Scala is of interest to you, there will be ample opportunities to do so. We also use Python, R, and some Perl.

You would be working with small team of ~12 people and have a major impact on the future development and directions of the project.

Working remote may be an option for the right candidate (some team members are currently remote). As the Broad is based in Cambridge, MA, there is a requirement that you be within a few hours of EST time-zone, a willingness to travel on-site periodically, and go to various meet-ups/conferences.

This position does not require an immediate working knowledge of genetics, but such knowledge is a plus. The willingness to learn the biology to better serve the computational biologists on the team and better understand the needs of Portal users would be of long-term benefit to the team and yourself. This is much easier on-site as there are constant lectures and learning opportunities at the Broad, MIT, and Harvard for all employees. Some of these are also streamed.

You will also be exposed to several other projects at the Broad which our team collaborates with such as HAIL [2], WDL [3], FireCloud [4], and more.

If you are interested, please apply online via the job posting above. If you have any additional questions, feel free to email myself, Jeffrey Massung, or Mafruha Haque:

> No icon anywhere is intuitive. They're all learned.

Absolutely not true.

The word "icon" originated with religious artwork and was used to tell stories to the people at a time when 99% of the population was illiterate.

Governments spend millions of dollars on research to design important icons that will be completely intuitive for hundreds or thousands of years. Things like the radioactive trefoil, or the biohazard sign. (Google it, there's lots of articles about this.)

Nobody wants to tell some future human, "Oh, sorry you sank into a 4,000-year-old pool of radioactive sludge and died. You should have "learned" it was dangerous ahead of time. At least you "discovered" what it means, now that you're dead."

good error/failure framework:

- should be obvious which functions can fail and what errors they can fail with

- propogating an error up the stack should be visible in the code and semantically easy to do

- errors should be composable and easy to add additional information to

- deciding to not handle a error should be explicit and otherwise produce a warning

- errors should be fast and cheap to return errors

- (maybe nice to have) ability for a function to have and return multiple errors

What percentage of those who are "involuntarily celibate" do you suppose have substantially the same beliefs or opinions as the vile woman-hating terrorists? Should we suspect only those who publicly identify as such, or would it be more appropriate to initiate a witch hunt to remove them from society root and branch?
You don’t need to damage your knees. Find a school that doesn’t let white belts do leg locks on each other. Lower back is what to watch for, as keeping posture can take some power at the start. The biggest challenge is total hours. Adding 4-6 hours a week of Jiu Jitsu to the 8-10 required for distance training is a lot of overall wear and tear.
Incel is a generic term for involuntarily celibate people. Volcel is for voluntarily celibate people. Both considered weird and unnatural by majority. Don't conflate it with some organized group that reused the name, that would be a pretty big scientific mistake, likely politically motivated.

I in turn am ambivalent about a not ads supported Google. Like you, I love (loved) their products. However even if they said they're not ad supported I can't believe them. And so I've migrated to other vendors. It'll take an act of god to get me to use any of their stuff again.
Paying for early access is not a new thing. It's no different from a pre-order. It helps fund development.

I don't think so. It's just that the development environment was so much more productive on NeXT.
The cost is proportional to what kind of environment you're operating in. If it's ideal terrain it'll be cheap. If it's difficult, ever changing conditions with a high risk of subsidence damage to the structures above, get ready to pay way, way more.

A question that I've been using lately is to ask a candidate to pick some technology (anything) that they have strong feelings about - positive or negative. I'll then throw out a couple of examples: "I really like A about B thing" and "In language X I really dislike Y because Z" -- I'm looking to see that they've really thought critically about some technology. Anything.
>> I feel that writing code on paper really limits my ability to express my programming knowledge, in comparison to writing code on the computer.

Yes, that's correct.
It makes sense for a wide range of densities. Getting MDUs is really nice, because your marginal cost to serve another customer in the building is really low. Downside is that it may be more competitive. Rural areas present a different business model, where you may have to go long distances and charge enough to support the infrastructure that requires. Single family homes in suburban/urban densities are right in between.

Each of the cases can work, you just need to make sure you're running the right kind of ISP for the market.

Many (most) people want more than orgasm out of partners... love-making itself, company, someone to love. Not to mention those who want families.
I think the general resistance to doing away with ads is related to revenue ceiling.

Ad revenue at Google / Facebook scale is a magic money box. In that they can tell Wall Street (and deliver) ever increasing monetization per user.

Once they start directly charging users, they can't increase that invisibly via "better" ad tech anymore. Any increase is directly passed on to the consumer. AND ceiling just became users * subscription fee.

I worked as a bike mechanic which is a small subset of all of the goo you guys get on your hands and I remember the process for getting my hands clean enough to go to the bathroom took almost a minute.

I think washing your hands thoroughly before clocking out might have forced that issue, but it sounds more like the last straw for you.

Clearly they killed the goose when they unbundled that service contract. It's too bad some of you didn't walk and find a different shop to offer the same deal.
There is an Intel PEXT instruction, but I don't know the cycle count and I think it's limited to 64 bits.
With PEXT the whole prefix match is four instructions.
I’ve learned a lot through Jiu Jitsu too. Some is humility and empathy for a wide range of people. Also being able to learn over long time horizons. When I train the stress of life is more manageable. Perhaps the best part is being surrounded by a group of people all engaged in mutual self improvement.

I used to pack a Gi whenever I had work travel and it was a great way to connect locally.

All of those CEOs are famous (and more) for being assholes. What made Steve Jobs different is that he also inspired a bizarre sort of love -- People want to be Gates/Zuck/Bezos, but no one dreams of working for them. And no one has a religious zeal for evangelizing their those CEOs' transparent marketing lies like they do for Jobs'.
Sample size is not really enough to cross-tab, but if there is a trend on seniority, it's that new employees tend to work more or less than the average compared to more senior ones.
This discussion reminded me of a scene from the movie The Jackal in which an assassin basically mounts a rifle on a three-axis motorized mount, connects a calibrated camera to a mounted scope, and then mounts the thing in a truck/van and parks it near the target and uses it over a laptop w/ wireless connection. I think this was in the 90s and I remember thinking, at the time, video bandwidth and latency would be the biggest obsticle but now days it seems like this setup would be near trivial.

When I just tried to google the scene I saw an ISIS setup of virtually the same thing :/

In the UK we have a selection of bins, one for the plastic + metal + glass and another for the paper/cardboard. To go with that we also have a food waste bin. There is no need to buy anything that won't fit in one of those bins and therefore no bin bags are required.

I had a bit of difficulty persuading an American housemate to recycle, it was my turn to buy bin bags, I bought clear ones and after the neighbours complained and shamed my housemate for trashing tonnes of cardboard (they could see what was in those black bags when they were transparent) a change of habit was made.

All waste should be clean plus factories such as the Honda factory in Swindon can exist on a zero waste basis then so can anyone.

Take pride in your recycling and having squeaky clean bins!
I know people hate on unions, but unions are supposed to negotiate two things: wages and working conditions.

Negotiating working conditions with a union-enforced contract gets rid of mickey mouse management, and establishes a process for workers to review working condition changes. I honestly believe that's the best feature of unions.

(The worst feature of unions is their tendency to protect the worst employees -- the "interently lazy" types. As long as "protecting the worst employees" is a key concept, unions won't make it back.)
It's what was needed. And my use of the word fonts is a bit incorrect, it was a total of 6 different font faces (bold, italics, different sizes, different fonts). Sorry about that.

- Name - largest on the page, picked a font that looked good at that size

- Email address - monospaced font, colored to appear as a link (which seems silly, but helps pull attention to it since it's the primary contact method for me)

- Physical address - Small font, so it, my phone number, and email address occupy roughly the same visual space as my name. Also, a different font to fit the reduced size without impacting readability

Per job:

- Company name and title - Larger than the description

- Dates - Small so they can exist on the same line as the company name, but a different font to be legible.

- Descriptions and duties (also used for summary) - The baseline for font and size.

A quick glance at my resume won't show the design choices made; it's supposed to be subtle while retaining legibility through a fax machine (you wouldn't believe the lack of quality of some of the resumes which I've been handed over the years). That subtlty/readability is what took the longest.
Trash being so close to so many people should be even more reason for it to be picked up. You don't have to travel to the middle of the Pacific to collect it. Yet old cans with pull off tops are still common in the ground in popular outdoors areas.

Sorry, my point was perhaps a bit mangled.

If you want to send someone a message in Matrix it's indeed a trivial HTTP PUT; something like:

curl -XPOST -d '{"msgtype":"m.text", "body":"hello"}' 'https://example.com/_matrix/client/api/r0/rooms/!CvcvRuDYDzT...

However, what's happening under the hood is that you're not saying "Hi Bob, here's a message from Alice" - instead, you're saying "Hi everyone, I've added a message to the history of this room. Please can everyone sync their copy of the room with mine?". In other words, it's talking about the way the federation (server<->server) protocol is architected.

There literally isn't a way in the federation protocol to say "please send a message from Alice to Bob"; instead the way you do it is to say "create a room and invite Bob to it (if you don't have one already); add a message to the room's history, and once the history has synchronised with Bob's server he'll have a copy of the message too".
