This showed up in my youtube auto-feed today, and I thought it was interesting enough to submit to the rest of HN readers in case people have never experienced "small" feature soldering. I knew SMD soldering was difficult, what I didn't realize was how absolutely miniscule some of these things are... Thought people might appreciate it. Skip to about 3/4 into the video if you want just to see the mindbogglingly small stuff.

A Victory for Coral: Unesco Removes Belize Reef from Its Endangered List
Disagree with the whole “shoildnt Socially engineer” - this makes no sense!

We live in highly constructed environment! Socially constructed. Laws, physics design, social structures, etc , etc.

We do not live in a world where “social pressures” that might pressure women not to join tech can’t possible be “absent”. That just doesn’t exist, nor ever will.

Thus, facing this reality, given the fact that women are under represented, what do we do next? I say, let a higher goal, one of equality of opportunity and a desire for more equal representation drive us to build a society that gives women the same chances men get. No one is saying hire regardless of talent.

As for the original memo, I’ve read it many times and he has a core argument that women didn’t meet the hiring bar. Just repeating that isn’t what he claimed isn’t convincing.

Bottom line: we do social engineering all the time. We will always do it. We can’t not even do it. Let’s instead of pretending what we do now is “neutral”, recognize it isn’t, determine what kinds of outcomes we’d like and ways to design those without being blantantly unfair. Rather than pretending status quo is as good as it gets and give up now.

I was wondering whether you did this for computer graphics or robotics applications, and your site says the answer is both!

How transferrable do you think techniques are between these two fields in practice?
I mean. You brought up the point of dining with two Silicon Valley elites in the first place. Elon is more famous, but most people wouldn’t know Sam.
Array languages like APL/K/J can be tremendously fast for an interpreter, since each bytecode works on entire arrays at a time. Not quite as fast as say, C or C++ compiled with a modern compiler, but I think they can match other static languages. And of course, when you're branching on or processing single values rather than whole arrays/matrixes, you lose the speed benefit.

Or it may just create perverse incentives fir people to throw everything in landfill. Not 100% sure where to put that $1 drink bottle, throw in the trash and don't risk a $200.

Not sure how that could be prevented.
I'm still using an original IntelliMouse Optical 1.1a

The plastic has turned brown from age, so I might buy one of these to tide me over while I apply some Retr0bright gel to the original.

I wish they'd brought back the 1.1a. There wouldn't be any complaints from lefties, and the side buttons are large enough to not be missed by your thumb/pinkie finger.

Oh, and impressive Rube Goldberg video introduction. Loved the "Portal" reference.
Disagree. I expect full-stack developers to be _great_ at frontend, and _capable enough_ to build the backend. When resources are constrained you want the customer-facing side of the product to be a priority.
Is a "10x programmer" still a "10x" if she, in turn, unintentionally makes her co-workers all x0.6s or x0.8s in the process?
I guess I've never really thought about it from an unbiased perspective before. How bad are landfills if they are done in some sort of long-term strategy? You can cover over the landfill and make new land with it (many parks are basically this). But I worry about things like battery acid and other chemicals seeping into the water table or causing who knows what damage to the soil.

At least on its face if you're putting the plastic deep in the ground, from whence it came, maybe that's a decent intermediary solution.

But I would also agree with anyone who says its not sustainable. The amount of waste we produce seems a little insane compared to other creatures on the planet.
It’s very straightforward: ECC is fully supported by the CPU and chipset, but must be accounted for by the motherboard maker. Check the specs/manual for the motherboard before buying, in particular the tested hardware list.

I’ve been using 32GB of ECC DDR4 with a 1950X and X399 Taichi without a problem.
Heroin also has a therapeutic side, though. People sometimes start out taking milder opiates like oxycodone or hydrocodone for pain, from a prescription or friends/family/black market, and then end up using black market opiates because they're addicted, still in pain, or both and can't get a legal supply.

The US is 2680 miles across, and the minimum speed for new high speed rail is 160MPH. So, it would take less than 16.8 hours for a non stop high speed to go coast to coast.

In other words, the 5 hour rule of thumb predicts that a modern system where the coastal cities were densely connected and there were a few money-losing lines that crossed unpopulated regions would be wildly profitable.

State-of-the-art high speed rail (like in China) would be even faster, and make even more sense.
It’s just the way they talk because it becomes normal for them. One of my friends candidly said I should be friends with a person in a conversation, the persons writing made the news. Those two were friends, but the writer also happened to the founder of a major tech company. Not exactly in my personal circle lol. But my friend said it so normally because that’s who she hangs out with now. Don’t count that against her or any privilege. Just meeting the right people to introduce you to more people. And suddenly it becomes normal.
The relevant term of Article 20 of the directive seems to be "personal data", which means information relating to a person (thus being broader than the idea of "personally identifiable information").

If you ran the Facebook page for a club or society, then much of the metadata about the events you created for it would likely not be covered by the GDPR; but for a personal Facebook page, if you were publishing information about an event that you were organising and were planning to attend, it is more likely that a useful amount of metadata would be covered.

I don't know whether ActivityPub has a standardised way of handling event invitations and RSVPs, but the existence of things like the iCalendar format and its various implementations might go some way towards making the "technically feasible" argument.

There’s a massive wave of geriatrics coming, and various dysarthrias (be it as significant as a stroke or as minor as edentulism or poorly fitting dentures) are extraordinarily common.

Any voice tech that can’t handle speech impediments isn’t ready for the market - it’s just too big a demographic chunk.
When running Digital Audio Workstations like FL Studio, having a touch screen is invaluable. Being able to manipulate knobs, sliders, and buttons using natural movements is much more conducive to creativity.
Wired mice have lower latency, don't have RF interference problems, don't need batteries, and don't require a wiggle to wake them up. But yes, you'll need to deal with a cord. The braided cord that Logitech uses on some models is pretty flexible and soft, and doesn't get hung up too often (unless the cat goes to sleep on it).
If you want to save more screen estate, switch to Linux. For example, openbox (a window manager) can hide the top panel of any window based on the class, group class, title, .... properties of that window.

This is why it's so important that open source forks of Android are available. Without them, it's not possible to have a modern mobile communication device that you can actually trust. (Arguably even then, since drivers tend to be opaque blobs and the radio subsystem runs its own closed code, but at least you're no longer free real-estate for any application big enough to pay for an unremovable app.)

Well of course, but I mean that as if you're not confident enough to recommend other engineers because of competition, then the root cause is probably your own standard of expertise that you have set that you have not met and should meet.
What do you mean exactly? Opiates have been known and used widely for a lot longer than cocaine, and so has cannabis as a drug, and Asia at least. Opium it was known throughout the old world and ancient and medieval times, but cocaine certainly wasn't. I think the Greeks commented on it's addictive properties. There is medieval and ancient commentary on hashish eaters (the word assassin is said to come from a clan of hash-addicted killers). Amanita mushrooms have a long history of use by humans, as do psilocybin mushrooms. Also, tobacco and coffee have been used and abused for centuries or millenia.

At various times, many societies have tried to deal with addictive substances by prohibition and harsh punishments. For instance, when tobacco was first introduced to Spain, it was seen as a horrible thing that definitely had something to do with Satan, and possession became punishable by death. That didn't stop people from using it and becoming addicted.

Balzac is famed to have been insanely addicted to coffee, drinking it in the form of a thick sludge that he said he required to be creative and productive.

Another example were the Opium Wars. Part of the issue was concerned about use of opiates in China. For example this quote from Wikipedia about the First Opium War:

"The influx of narcotics reversed the Chinese trade surplus, drained the economy of silver, and increased the numbers of opium addicts inside the country, outcomes that worried Chinese officials.

In 1839 the Daoguang Emperor, rejecting proposals to legalise and tax opium, appointed viceroy Lin Zexu to solve the problem by completely banning the opium trade (it had already been illegal to smoke and sell certain forms of opium in China since 1729)."

: to what degree are the platforms responsible for fixing the ills of the connections between users. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. are all Western businesses operating at international scales. Is it "right" for them to impose western approaches to journalism, "truth", civic engagement, digital literacy, etc. to the rest of the world?

I'm unsure I understand the juxtaposition here, can you elaborate on the correlations you see between the responsibility of online platforms to 'fix' my friendships and the eagerness you see within those platforms to act and behave as components of the 4th estate?

It's possible I've read your post improperly and came away with the wrong impression, can you clarify what you mean? Thanks :)
It's the additional fees above and beyond the base service. Carriers don't have to advertise these, which makes it incredibly difficult for the average consumer to reasonably compare plans side-by-side. Consumers sign a multiyear contract at a "$100 unlimited" plan or whatever, only to find out it's not actually unlimited and there's all sorts of additional surcharges. And now they're locked into a contract. Competition doesn't really help much at this point.

From 2011-2016 the FTC [1] and FCC [2] took significant action against mobile carriers for spurious charges, unadvertised fees, etc. These resulted in hundreds of millions in fines against the carriers and portions of that being returned to customers.

The amount of enforcement by these regulatory authorities changes significantly over time due to shifting political winds.

The surcharges often are used against miles-based travel. You book the ticket one miles, but still get hit by various taxes and surcharges. Often it's a large chunk of the total fare.

Qantas has a "fuel surcharge" for a long period during high oil prices. This surcharge was literally to bill you for a base cost of their service. Arguably pure marketing.
He attributes bad web sites to lack of skills. I'm sorry, but in my experience it generally is due to lack of time and budget, no matter how experienced you are. Experience helps a lot but not every site is worth pouring in the money required to make it top notch. Some times meeting business needs matters more than technical perfection.
Don't virtually all the major carriers routinely run deals where they make it extremely easy for you to buy out of a competitors contract?

The lock in from these contracts is quite weak.

Full stack to me is more about ownership and responsibility than pure expertise. He's the guy that can literally carry the entire thing on his back if he has to. Technically speaking, usually because he's the one that created it, by himself, made it work, made it scale, and made it make money without any help. In my case he becomes the guy in charge trying to figure out how to hire people to just little parts of his job. And finding out he now has to learn how to hire people, just like everything else...

:)
You're welcome to create a PR. Homebrew's users are the primary contributors of package updates.
In my experience companies looking for full stack engineers want a fully competent front end engineer that’s willing to get his hands dirty with a CRUD backend. Specifically not someone that’s mediocre at everything, and at least for reasonable hiring managers, not someone that’s an expert at everything.

> The change is estimated to impact about 85 percent of AT&T's 64.5 million postpaid phone lines in service, making for about $800 million in additional annual revenue.

85% * 64.5 million * $1.23 = 67 million

Where did the other 733 million come from?

Stating the fact - that the GP knew him only for few days in a professional capacity - should be legal, rt? Any negative inference from that is left for the company doing the reference check.
A lot of fingerprinting technologies use something called Difference of Gaussian (a type of bandpass filter). However, in practice you capture interest points across multiple bands (scale space).

Basically what this means is that interest points are in multiple frequency bands.

A high or low pass filter is unlikely to filter out a significant number of these interest points at other frequencies so the fingerprint is still able to match with a fairly high confidence.
Maybe - it’s stretching - tortuous interference?
In my industry, I would be highly suspect of someone without a LinkedIn presence. It's table stakes.
The author seems to think "full-stack" means the developer is an expert in everything; that is hardly the case.

I would consider a full stack developer to be someone who likely has one or more areas of expertise, but is able to quickly move out of their comfort zone(s) and contribute in a meaningful way towards any part of the stack.

But that's how everything works. When I buy a gallon of milk at the grocery store, the store gets a cut, the delivery truck driver gets a cut, the gas station he uses gets a tiny cut, the farmer gets a cut, the bottler gets some, etc. Despite all that, the price I see is a single number.

The weird thing with airline tickets is that the airlines break the price out into two pieces and call one the fare and the other a processing fee, as if that distinction makes any difference to anybody but them.

Notable parts of this release (IMO):

* Data classes (https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/dataclasses.html)

* New breakpoint() builtin (https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/functions.html#breakpoin...)

* Dictionaries preserve insertion order. (Implemented in 3.6, but now is part of the official spec.)
Haha. No. The tangled spaghetti mess will only get worse. We are only going to add more layers. People are not going to be sane :)

$67 million a month * 12 = $804 million. I am assuming it is a monthly increase.
It's been donkey years since I've been involved in Windows networks, but back in XP / Server 2003 times not everything was exposed as a Group Policy option, however it was trivial to deploy a package to write to the registry to do the work not exposed as a group policy option, and even easier to reboot client machines, I always thought as Group Policy as high level orchestration, kind of like Kubernetes driving a state towards a spec. tl;dr - unless things have changed it's still easy to disable stuff across a deployment of desktop in an AD even if it isn't a point and click toggle in group policy edtior
is it monthly? because then the math works:

>>> 0.85 * 64.5 * $1.23 * 12

$809.22
Problem I have is apps remembering their screen position even when the monitor is disconnected. It’s off to the side in phantom monitor space.

Besides, if an employees quits after two weeks because it was a bad match, that's actually good.
