I didn't end up working for Reddit. I wanted the head of search position that was open, but they thought I didn't have enough experience. We talked about an IC role, but I would have had to move to the SF area (I live in DC) as they didn't allow remote employees. I couldn't justify uprooting my family (wife and 3 little kids) to move to a more expensive part of the country for less money than I can make in DC, even with the promising stock options. It was a hard decision. Still don't know if it was right one.

(For the sake of full disclosure, I was never extended an offer, we decided to break talks prior to that stage based on the salary/location discussions)
Probably meant transmitter (antennae + encoder/decoder) separated from actual BTS hardware & operatives.

So after counter-side finds your camouflaged BTS, it is only disposable and relatively cheap part and doesn’t lead to whole operation uncover.

That probe part then would connect to starbucks wi-fi and interact with BTS software somewhere far from physical location, so you can’t quickly trace channel between probe and spy team.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that "never ... in my name" just means aliases were involved and she was involved in shooting porn in an Airbnb rental. That still leaves open the very serious question of how Airbnb was able to make the connection. Possibilities range from investigating a legitimate host complaint to questionable use of user data to outright stalking by an employee. Anybody who uses Airbnb should probably consider which is more likely, and what that means for their own privacy/safety.

Wikipedia contributions are generally subject to sourcing requirements (i.e. information must be backed by reliable secondary sources), not "political considerations." Wikipedia cares about verifiability, not truth itself.

See this example that illustrates the policy using the flat earth theory[1]:

> "Wikipedia is not worried per se about whether the theory that the Earth is flat is true. There must be current, reliable and independent sources substantiating claims that the Earth is flat. But there are no such sources that are current (almost no scientists have thought the Earth was flat since about the fourth century BC), that are reliable (reliable sources are reviewed for accuracy), or independent (a journal published by a Flat Earth Society would not be independent.)"

> "If Wikipedia had been available around the sixth century BC, it would have reported the view that the Earth is flat as a fact without qualification. It would have also reported the views of Eratosthenes (who correctly determined the Earth's circumference in 240 BC) either as controversial or a fringe view. Similarly if available in Galileo's time, it would have reported the view that the Sun goes round the Earth as a fact, and if Galileo had been a Vicipaedia editor, his view would have been rejected as "originale investigationis". Of course, if there is a popularly held or notable view that the Earth is flat, Wikipedia reports this view. But it does not report it as true. It reports only on what its adherents believe, the history of the view, and its notable or prominent adherents. Wikipedia is inherently a non-innovative reference work: it stifles creativity and free thought, which is a Good Thing."

If someone writes a piece of software that you invest into your pipeline, understand that without some sort of contractual agreement, that person isn't OBLIGATED to maintain that code, much less give a shit about your feedback.

Yes.

Yes.

But is Ken going to have to do what the python community wants wrt pipenv?

Hell no.

Granted, a lot of this conflict could've been done differently and with better tact, but the gritty fact of the situation is that no matter what happens, it's not his fault for giving away the work. Even if the whole world depended on a module, it's still a voluntary action.

There was a Flash animation from about 2001 done as a tribute to MAME. It is set to the tune of Irene Cara singing the theme to "Fame"; and every time the word "fame" is sung, the MAME logo is flashed on the screen.

>the problems were hypertension and chronic kidney disease,

It's interesting that these are both conditions usually normally associated with excess sodium in the diet. However, baking soda, as the name suggests, contains sodium! So that it would prevent these diseases is surprising. But sodium is normally consumed as a component of salt, which, in addition to sodium, contains chloride.

That raises a question I'm surprised I can't answer: how do we know that any of the problems we blame on sodium are not in fact the result of chloride? I found this:

I definitely did not expect to find that much support for this idea when I started this. I'm not convinced yet, though.
One correction: the military absolutely does not have any more advanced technology than the private sector. Very much the opposite, they've been totally incompetent at figuring out how to build software, or even buying software from the traditional contractors, which is the motivation for eric schmid'ts defense innovation stuff and Google's project maven. Many of the statements of the current DoD secretary flat out admit this stuff (plus if you've had the misfortunate working for a traditional DoD contractor it's also laughably obvious).
Gah, why would anyone release software into the public domain if this is the type of thanks they get.

I mean, I have no idea if he's right, wrong, or sideways here, but what is clear is that he's released open source software and people are hating on him for it. It's free! You don't have to use it, do you? What gives anyone the right to throw hate towards an open source author?
Well cerntainly a good idea to have a balanced healthy diet, taking daily amounts of baking soda is not to keep your self healthy, but rather to help those that have an abnormal autoimmune response.

For those with autoimmune disorders no amount of healthy diet is enough.
This is Kenneth's presentation about Pipenv at PyCon last week which is well worth watching:

One of the demos showed the car "staying level" as it swerved aggressively. I wonder -- might it be reasonable to have it overcompensate? If a car could "lean into" a curve like a motorbike, it could help driver comfort by turning some horizontal acceleration into (passenger-pose relative) vertical acceleration.

Not sure about safety/grip implications.
>Does it take ownership of options, a struct with a single size_t.

This is a bit extreme. My first thoughts (honestly) is yes, what is the size of. Following their advice to follow their examples, I looked at examples and it literally just zeros a uiInitOptions on the stack and sends it in. Thus I think it's something I wouldn't really need to care about usually.

As for whether I need to worry about saving 8 bytes on the stack or elsewhere, that seems like such a rare question (amongst the questions people would have) that it would motivate digging a little bit. It took me probably 3 minutes to find the answer[0].

As someone said above, this is one cat's work in their free time. The gratuitous criticism is very unfair to them especially when you're worried about out circumstances most devs wouldn't have to deal with or care about.

The policy is “everyone is a customer.”
The difference is that I work in the research park next to the University and many of the meet ups are within walking distance or a few miles away with little traffic. And I live 5 or 6 minutes from work. In Mountain View, I worked from 6:30am to about 4pm to reduce my commute time. Going out again to fight traffic to get to a meetup was not so appealing.

I grew up in the Bay Area in the 1960s and 1970s, great place then. Now too crowded, too much traffic - for my tastes.
Yes, and thank you, I couldn't remember the name of the book to reference it!

I think it makes a somewhat strong case; to me, the big problem to explain regarding the evolution of intelligence is the fact that it only helps survival a little bit, not a lot. And it evolved in very little time, which usually requires huge selection pressure. Sexual selection offers a potential explanation there.

Sure Galloway has a soft spot for Stalin - obviously he considers him misunderstood - history written by the victors and all that. I wouldn't know. But the issue here is how does such an eccentricity significantly connect him to the modern Russian government or media? And also the others, as is being suggested - as a group.
Ah totally, I misspoke. I was talking from the point of view of a library author, where I'd like to transpile my code so anyone can include the library and use it. In the same way I can use const, transpile my code and no one worries about me using const internally, the same cannot be said for Proxy.

So, between everyone having to transpile their client code or losing the few devs who need to support IE, I prefer the latter for my projects.
If you were a bad actor or a member of a group with malicious intent, how could you abuse or circumvent the policy you have just proposed? This editor is either a front or insane, but a hundred edits to an article on the subject of one's own long-term research is totally reasonable. This is why Wikipedia has a manual intervention process for people who appear to be abusing the system.
I believe they have different use cases. Pyproject.toml is more akin to setup.py (and publishing libraries) where Pipfile is to replace requirements (and building apps). All the people arguing over the “blessedness” seem to be ignoring this.
> looking at the state of Google Translate

last time I checked Google Translate was a seq2seq based model with symbol level embeddings.

The way symbol embeddings are generated doesn't lead to any real understanding of the sentence/ word/ language. It only really leads to understanding what is normally around that symbol in different situations. You could also very easily argue that the seq2seq model doesn't provide understanding, it only learns to encode the general meaning of the sequence in a fixed compressed format.

It's possible to argue that being able to compress a sequence into a fixed length vector requires understanding but I would argue that understanding requires more than just being able to do lossy compression on a sequence. In my view entity modelling and related problems are much closer to achieving some level of understanding. They at least are able to use context to figure out what parts of the sequence have what meaning and the relationship between separate parts of the sequence.

I'd be interested to hear your view of how Google Translate has understanding.
I don't care either way, since I rarely read HN on mobile. But I sympathize with people who do, which is why I manually break quoted lines at a few dozen characters. Does anyone have a problem reading my example above?

(Granted, it's at -3 and falling, so the text color will be the biggest challenge for mobile users. They can't highlight grayed-out text as easily. About the only safe conclusion I can draw, from the outside looking in, is that HN doesn't like mobile users very much.)
My two cents is that conda and conda-forge is the “right” way forward, and attention focused on pipenv is not suboptimal because of pipenv (though you can make engineering arguments against it— after all, it is still very young and has not yet matured the way other packaging tools have).

Rather it’s bad because it’s yet another set of spec files and environment tools to learn, potentially further fracturing the community and taking attention away from other approaches.

To be fair, it’s not really a problem with pipenv, but rather with any “official” community endorsement of pipenv. Saying it’s a third party, optional tool and you’re free to have at it if it’s good for your project is fine. But the minute there’s any degree of officialness to it, it just creates yet another fissure in the anarchy of Python packaging.

My reaction is more malaise. Guess I’ll have to learn about this new packaging gadget too, to be current and signal how with-it I am. But in any case I have a choice, I’ll still just use conda and Docker for application & environment management, supplemented by pip and virtualenv when appropriate.

True. People seem to have expectations of open source projects now. They act like customers even if the programmer isn't a professional who is getting paid to work on it.

I work on several personal projects whenever I have free time and feel like programming. I keep them on private repositories because I don't think they are ready for publication. I'm not sure if they're ever gonna be ready.

I guess more and more developers don't remember when all the coolest shit WASN'T free. You had to pay for compilers, editors, manuals, etc.

I've been a Microsoft developer my entire career of 20+ years and I remember starting out in the mid to late 90s after graduating from college and all of the tools you needed to learn you had to pay for. But because of both open source tools and the web, the need to develop "Windows Software" has declined precipitously.

Microsoft has had to make a lot of their tooling free, open source and cross platform (Visual Studio Code and .Net Core) and even thier proprietary stuff has had to get much cheaper for small developers. Thier online hosted version of TFS - Visual Studio Team Services - interops with everything.

I don't see myself leaving .Net for back end development. But, I don't have to pay the Windows tax anymore in terms of money or hardware resource requirements.
I think pyproject.toml is meant to be a superset, which means it would replace the Pipfile as well as all the other files. It's a welcome change, but I hate that we went through the short-lived Pipfile intermediate step.
'I consider myself to have been mildly underpaid, considering what I was responsible for — the entire deployment experience (including uptime) of Python apps on Heroku, one of the largest deployment platforms in the world.'

So, you're saying you don't have enough career experience that this is surprising to you?

Megacorps are outsourcing their core processing systems to 3rd level subcontractors, and these are the systems that literally run the economy itself, and have been doing so for nearly 2 decades now if not longer.

Is this a just or fair situation? no (in my view) But hardly new or surprising.. and certainly not relevant to the point you're trying to make.
I used to buy into the premise that anonymity + Internet = lots of people acting badly. Social media over the last decade has taught me that anonymity is absolutely not a meaningful requirement (I believe the masses of users, over that time, have adjusted to being comfortable with publicly being jerks without much concern). A lot of people feel no need to have a good reason to be jerks, it's their character, it's who they are all the way down. Some people are just rotten and there isn't much more than that to it (as it pertains to dealing with them as shit throwing types on the Internet). I feel like the author is suffering from not understanding or not accepting that this is the case, that in many or most instances, a person doesn't have a good reason for their terrible behavior online.

The reason for the clichéd build you up, tear you down, repetition process throughout all of human history, is that a vast number of people will be rage monsters, petty, filled with envy and jealousy. The types that are prone to that ill behavior, will come pouring out of the woodword once you've acquired any consequential amount of success/money/fame/whatnot. These are not good people, they are not capable of reasoned discourse, their opinions do not matter, their hostile negativity should be ignored and disregarded accordingly (they're also, fortunately, extraordinarily easy to spot and separate out from the more reasoned criticism; their entirely unnecessary over-the-top negative behavior provides for easy filtering).
Thanks! The first thing I did was to click on the 'past' link. But that was no help here because the project has changed its title in between.
Well, that is very, very fair. I let [what I call] design to get in the way of usability :)

It is a web server AND a websocket server in its core, and I'm working hard now to try to make it extensible by plugins to be able to become a SMTP, RTC, torrent, etc. server if you want to.

For instance, I want to be able to do:

const server = require('server');
const { email } = server.plugins;

server(
email('fake@francisco.io', ctx => {
// ctx.data => the body/text of the email
// ctx.files => any attached files
// ctx.params.to => array of "to"
// ...
})
);

But I am having some problems conceptually as to try to standardize the way we deal with any kind of requests since different servers will work in very different ways.

But still your feedback is totally valid, I'll fix it, thank you.

> The market decides what features are valuable, and they get built and supported.

I'm curious as to what you envision as "the market" in the context of free software, or Postgres in particular, since I don't expect it's the cliche of people literally deciding which product to pay for among competing ones.

A couple possibilities came to mind, but, having no intimate familiarity with any major project like this, I didn't want to parade mere assumptions as multiple choice.
Yup, I was trying to pick the right word and used that as a placeholder which stuck for too far. I think it'll depend on each category, but it's something I'll definitely change.

AFAICT, there are no such things; GERD has standard treatments, none of which are cures.

Yes, but that's a standard GERD treatment: antacids. While sodium bicarbonate doesn't seem to be particularly commonly preferred, calcium carbonate and other antacids operate by exactly the mechanism you describe.
