> I use a remote as an easier-to-maintain-and-test backup than trying to maintain a mirrored local repository on another drive.

You should really consider getting a good backup solution, like Tarsnap or Backblaze, to follow from the "two is one and one is none" principle of backups. That is, if you haven't already.
I would guess that watches are number one fashion item for men? A watch and a wedding ring are the two wearables that are acceptable for men even in the most conservative communities.

Thanks! It's a community effort, though, and I only deserve a small fraction of the credit. I'll pass along your message to my team.
Yet we're able to discuss topics with each other, this is the basis of Poincare's Inter-subjective reality. There must be some commonalities of experience which allows us to map our whole experiences between each other. We are definitively limited to our experience, it is impossible to discuss or probe anything outside of it when the entire world and its phenomena is only dictated through experience to us.

Experience is a language which makes meaning from the not-experience.

As Bohr put it, "We're all suspended in language."
Short traders and put option holders have to also get the timeline and technical factors right to get paid. See the debacle with LongFin. The right play was to go long and make money off borrow fees. The bears got hosed by a trading freeze that kept them from closing their shorts or from acquiring shares to sell for their expiring put options.
That point is a little bit bad worded. It is more pointed to old school managers who think that by controlling working hours they are controlling productivity.

After all in remote work productivity is measured about communication, issues , commits and pull requests done.

Dammit. Of all the articles that need to be paywall restricted. I’m down. I’m sympathetic. But I can only afford to pay for content on a couple of fronts. I wish it was more. But I cannot right now.

But if that was the article it looks like from the headline? Give it. Away. For a minute. FFS.
Basically you turn off as many settings as possible that make things impractical. Its more of how you work, not a catch-all. I have VSCode and installed a supporting library to work with it. Basically it tells me what's wrong and how to disabled it as well. I either inline disable it or go to the specific tslint rule and disable globally. It is most difficult when you have to use another person's biolerplate that was built without typescript AND tslint is turned all the way up.
One obvious thing is that it would eliminate the brutal discounts that salesmen give at the end-of-the-quarter to meet sales quotas. They would now have a more continuous timeline to meet sales goals.
1. Discriminated unions don't have any issues with strict aliasing, you are allowed to read a union member as long as it was the last union member being written to, and the tag-member helps you identify that.

2. If you are trying to retrofit polymorphism in C maybe you are using the wrong tool for the job.

3. If you really want polymorphism you can create baseclass-struct with a void* this pointer and a bunch of function pointers as instance-functions. To "override" the struct you just instantiate it with different function pointers. If you want to inherit an existing struct you add a void* super-member into your this-data and instantiate it explicitly. For any function you don't want to override you use just call the existing function function and pass in you super-data as this.

This is also safe as each subclass implementation only casts the void* this into itself which is a known struct of the same type as was last written to. You do have to split the data and keep super-class data in another struct one pointer-hop away but that shouldn't be a big issue.
thanks, i'm pretty far from that world then, haha. appreciate the list of concerns, i hope to someday worry about these things.
I feel like the comparison would work better if Tesla had secretly put gasoline engines in their cars before presenting them to the DOT and EPA. People may have accused them of being a fraud, but that’s not the same thing as accusing them of committing fraud.

Brunch is not usurping Webpack. But these are tools built on top of Node.js. They're for front end development, and have nothing to do with running a Node.js server on the backend.
"He prefers to make exactly one trade per company: buy a great company and own it forever, preferably by buying 100% of the company in cash."

I don't think you've paid attention to what Buffett does to make money in the last decade or two. He targets companies that are or may be desperate, and tries to exchange his endorsement for things like preferred stock and warrants at unbelievably favorable terms. He did this with Goldman Sachs during the financial crisis. He tried to make a deal with Uber recently. He is absolutely nothing like the folksy myth you reference.

I actually had exactly the same experience with my Pebble. I got it out of casual nerdy interest and was sure I'd use it for a couple of months and then pack it away.

Having notifications and basic functionality on your wrist is surprisingly useful though, and I used that watch until it broke (after Pebble went under unfortunately).

I've got a Ticwatch E on it's way as a replacement.

Ask HN: Leaving US, how to manage bank accounts
I am an Indian Citizen, moving out of US and might not be able to come back to US for some time. I am guessing others might have had similar situation too.

How do you manage your US account from overseas? Can I create a bank account in some safe country such that I can transfer and deposit dollars? Has anyone ever been locked out of their accounts?
+1 on this. Looks nice, but no ai. Nice domain name though
If it is a recurring itinerary, then yes. Else I want to make my own decisions. I don't like AI.
> Now it seems like every phone on the market is a slippery glass rectangle.

I've just broken my Galaxy S7 for this very reason. It looks nice, and it feels slick, but it's heavy and it's slippery as hell. 99% of the time you catch it, but when you pick your phone up 100 times a week... I'm back on my Nexus 5X in the meantime and the combination of matte finish and light weight makes it so much easier to use, not to mention it lasts much longer on a smaller battery.
Future Jobs
That is something bad at our industry. Managers or whoever do that decision believes that being senior automagically makes you a genious, when it can be the other way around, the more senior you are, the more averse to change you are. I doubt that senior could easily change to remote lifestyle after years of onsite.

People must learn that anyone can be remote, the thing is that everyone must agree to communicate better instead of more.

Not everyone in prison is a violent criminal, but danger or no danger I strongly oppose “compassionate release” for any murderer or other severely violent criminal. I don’t see a reason to offer compassion to those who perpetrated malice on innocent victims.

This number of tools speaks for itself. Yeah, you would be better off with out of the box stuff due to lack of skills.
Epyc chip (the package including the 4 ASICS) is pretty huge. It's a decent fraction of a mini-itx motherboard just for the socket. The good news is that while it takes twice the power (170-190 watts or so, 250 in the next generation) it's much easier to dissipate that much with such a large chip. The head density is as low or lower than previous generations.

AMD was pretty krafty with this generation. Intel has a huge R&D budget, has it's own fabs, and pushes many different ASICs split into a dizzying array of products. Intel can afford this because they have a MUCH higher volume of parts to amortize the costs over.

To compete at many different price/power/performance points AMD uses the exact same ASIC for desktop (1 ASICs with 2 memory channels), workstation (2 ASICs with 4 memory channels), and server (4 ASICS with 8 memory channels).

Now AMD can compete across a decent fraction of Intel's produces with a single ASIC and spend more R&D on the second generation without having to re-engineer an entire family of ASICs.

Compare any photos of a threadripper or epyc chip, they are easily visible even onstage, it's about as big as the palm of your hand. I believe it's 69.2 mm x 57.9 mm according to a spec I found on the TR4 socket.
The biggest complaint that I've seen against bitbucket is the ties to Atlassian and the fact it is a closed source product. Most of the ones featured here are some form of open source or open core for GitLab.
Last I looked it was limited to 5 users.
Gitlab on the other hand offers unlimited users and limited repo size: 10G.
Exactly. I’m convinced that this new “death penalty is so horrible” movement has kicked into high gear only because crime rates are low enough and society is segregated enough that many people don’t know any murder victims.
This marks the death of any hope that Valve will ever manually curate the store. If they can't be bothered removing school shooter or hentai games, they will definitely never be bothered to remove games that are just plan bad.

The best hope of cleaning up the store is to increase the Steam Direct fee to $500. This will remove the low-end junk that is clogging it up and allow more breathing space for legitimate commercial games. I don't see how having thousands of games which sell single digits worth of copies is beneficial for anyone - Valve, Game Devs, or Gamers.

Valve should also have an annual clear out of games which have sold fewer than 50 copies.
A running instance: https://silogizma.org
My earliest exposure to computers was the ZX Spectrum, an 8-bit home-computer from the 80s, which was insanely populare in the UK.

Having few games, and little budget for more, most of the kids around would swap home-copied games. I used to have fun removing protection, or hacking the games for infinite lives. At the time I was 12-15 and it was very much a case of trial or error.

Assuming a game started with 3 lives I would look for every occurance of "LD A,3", and change the 3 to 5. If that didn't work I'd eventually replace every occurance of 3 with a different number. As you can imagine this was a tedious process!

If I was lucky enough to find the right "starting value" I'd then go on to look which memory-address the value was saved in. That would then let me search for that same address in the rest of the program, and hopefully spot something like:

LD A,(addr)
DEC A
LD (addr),A

At that point I was done. Removing the decrement would stop the lives-counter from being decreased - giving you as many as you wanted.

Later I moved to the PC, and I found +fravia's site very educational. There are still mirrors which show how you could remove protection from commercial software - and oftentimes I'd be reminded of my previous attempts. Sometimes it is very simple, and sometimes not. Educational regardless.

Random mirror here - http://acrigs.com/FRAVIA/aca400.htm

The main reason I stopped this work? Few programs on Linux prompt you for license keys! But a good disassembler is a worthwhile thing to explore, whether for debugging your own code, or randomly exploring crackmes.
Man, if the UK offered compassionate release to the Kray twins it has gone full bizarro.
> The tokens would be tainted, unspendable, and worthless.

No they wouldn't because the whole "decentralized system" makes it so you have to get EVERYONE to agree to blacklist those tokens BEFORE THEY ARE TRADED or else it fails because the hacker can tumble those tokens across dozens of different cryptocurrencies on every exchange across thousands of accounts. You will never be able to hard fork every cryptocurrency for 1 mistake.

The only hack that I have ever heard of that was successfully reversed was the DOA and that was because they had 30 days to work out a hard fork on 1 wallet!

Cryptocurrencies are good for one thing only and that is blackhats.
Why not volunteer for the victims of crimes instead of for the perpetrators?
I like having time easily accessible.

Though I have some philosophical and design issues with Apple, the biggest thing, the #1 requirement of any smartphone for me, is a notification LED for messages. I like seeing at a glance who or what is notifying me. Why is an LED so important? Because I want to identify a message quickly, without my phone always in my pocket (e.g. it's on my desk or next to the bed). With a watch accessory, for many, that need would go away.
To answer the above comments.

1 Million for 1000 Addtional Servers. And that is precisely my point. A saving of 1 million is a drop in the bucket for facebook. They will have to grow out of their current additional capacity, and ADD another 1000 Database Sever to achieve this saving. That is 3PB of Data, I doubt if they store video or images in it. So this is still quite a large amount of data, even for Facebook.

NVMe isn't going to see price drop, not in 2019 and 2020. Right now Intel aren't making much money for Optane. So any yield or other improvement would only increase Intel's margin. For it to see a significant price drop would require some ground breaking changes. Which I doubt will happen in 2 years time frame. Testing the NVMe on DIMM would be a much more interesting test. For the 128GB Server price that could have 1TB of NVMDIMM, although I think the speed would be decreased, the question is, would the speed still be acceptable?

I think this is merely an exercise for Facebook engineers to play around with.
Yeah and poor access to Internet in metro areas is a thing here in Australia. There's plenty of people here (myself included) in the middle of the city with 5/0.5 connections.

I’ve worked with the founder at a previous place and I’d give him the benefit of the doubt on the AI thing. I’m positive they will eventually try to do some tricky stuff with machine learning if they aren’t already.
If your docker containers all build off of the same OS and then you run them on a host using that OS, won't the containers share the lower filesystem layers with the host?
Ironically, I also suspect trolling whenever someone gets all whacko with Austrian School.

Don't worry, I've spent plenty of time educating myself. Grad school was pretty good for that. It even says Economics on my diploma, heyyy.

I'm not sure what you mean by "monetary policy shouldn't even be a thing." That's like saying, "guns shouldn't even be a thing."
> I am genuinely curious, are the users of GitHub really that tied in to the site?

For open source projects of multiple contributors, yes, because that's where the community is, along with all relevant traces, e.g. issues, comments, PRs, all linked to their user's accounts.

I've seen people here suggest that GitLab's import tool is pretty good in importing the history of issues. It's also a copyright lawsuit waiting to happen, but beyond the import, the problem is that the community isn't there.

Not to mention that many projects have been uninspired enough to use GitHub as their homepage, which means that the web is littered with links to GitHub that aren't replaceable.

I've seen people here downplay the difficulty of moving off GitHub. Such people do not maintain popular or multi-contributor open source projects.

Honestly thank you personally. But that doesn’t address my comment- I can sneak around it with computer fu but I’d think this is in the realm of what should be free. As in not like beer but bread.
What if you released raw numbers every month or constantly? How many cars sold, cash in the bank. Any number that would not help your competition. And that require no preparation.
Last I checked, they didn't do group subscriptions; you buy named licenses for each team member, and they're pretty unpleasant about the process.
Microsoft might be doing a better job wrt contributing to and creating open source software, but the trust of Microsoft is not there.

My SO migrated everything off Github back on Sunday when rumors broke, deleting the account & repos that had commits and contribs going back years.

Consistently, one of the first questions I ask friends and acquaintences who go to work across the lake to work for MS in Bellevue or Redmond is whether they are on an Embrace or Extend team. Most are on Embrace/Rewrite our own version but "better" teams.

Microsoft has changed, but they're no Red Hat or Suse.

Any potential the Watch has is clearly not enough for a strong app market to develop.

> Which developer wants to miss out on serving potentially millions of users?

You are forgetting that most developers already have millions of potential users on the iPhone with a market at least 30x bigger than the Watch's, and iOS has none of the limitations the Watch has.

Right now a Watch app requires an iPhone app, is hard to monetize, it cannot be sold on its own, it's slow and frustrate your users, etc. The only upsides are for Apple. It might sell really well because the core functionality provides enough value, but developers need to see a clear return for their efforts and right now is not there.
I would probably have very little use for such a service unless I was in a situation with highly frequent and regular travel patterns, such as long-distance relationship commuting or business travel — enough to make scheduling a rote chore with rare customization beyond choosing a departure time or checking if a train is cheaper than a plane.

For less frequent, bespoke travel like vacations or holidays, algorithmic assistance would be overkill and get in the way. Plus I would not necessarily want a third-party service aggregating that data about me (and selling it or driving ads with it, of course).

It’s very similar with automated calendar assistants, which I am generally skeptical of. Even if they work with human level accuracy, the times when the slightly lessened cognitive load of offloading to the assistant is better than just dealing with scheduling are too rare.

And if you’re in a high-powered business situation where scheduling is a huge volume of chatter for you, you probably already could afford to pay a human assistant to do it and cost savings to switch to a digital assistant would be round off error.

It’s why the calendar app companies market the products to everyone — as if every employee in a company needs a C-level executive treatment for calendar items — because the only way there is any money in it is to sell big enterprise licenses cover a lot of headcount, yet this is inherently antithetical to the product. Big headcount of staff, almost by definition, don’t spend appreciable time with calendar overhead. (Or else your business is in trouble.)

I think we may be talking past each other here. I just wanted to say in the previous comment that Theranos was already on the radar of the FDA and other regulators prior to the publication of that first article. Early complaints of Phoenix-area doctors about bizarre Theranos test results had already reached regulators by the time Carreyrou went to press.

If what you meant was simply that the FDA launched enforcement action after the publication of the article, then my apologies. No argument from me there.
The key issue is you cannot trust whatsoever and whosoever if they were the key cornerstone of your movement.

Similar to Communist China. During the first two decades in its reform, it is fine. We have hope. There is democracy. And if one shout hard enough, it let some air in and some human rights lawyer can survive.

But once it grow to the size that is no longer viable to let it go. Then dictatorship (even within their ranks) and no-freedom using IT.
