Well for one, I'm a single dad in a contested custody situation.

But even if not...people are real quick to question things like that. It's the world we live in. And it's not a big hot tub, it's a regular tub, so she is often climbing on me etc. I mean, why go there when a swimsuit doesn't harm the enjoyment of bathing significantly?

I'm honestly curious....do you know of dads in America that bathe naked with 4 year old daughters? I'm guessing most just avoid the bath altogether, which I think is a shame. I don't avoid the bath, I just take a tiny measure to avoid anyone questioning it.
Ask HN: What is your obscure personal blog or website?
Recently on HN, a user posted a personal website in the comments (https://philosopher.life/) that I thought was pretty unusual. It made me wonder what other interesting non-commercial, non-software websites all of you might have. It can be any kind of goofy, miserable or unfinished thing. I guess part of what I’m asking is: are there still personal sites out there outside of social media?

Oh and don’t worry if you don’t discover this thread for a day or two - please still post, because I will look at your site!
I grew up in Florida near some popular diving caves. One of the most memorable bits of local apocrypha was about the dead divers they pulled out.

Lost in the dark and running low on air, they would claw at the limestone ceilings of the tunnels they were trapped in until the flesh of their fingers was worn away. Even then they’d keep scratching with their exposed bones.

Never developed an interest in cave diving, myself.
I'm not seeing how those two things are related. Google could have still developed Instant Apps/Google Now without restricting users choice of search engine. And if those users missed out on those features because they use duckduckgo or whatever, so be it. At least it was their choice, right?
Intervene how?

The governments and corporations of the "Free World" will only pander to China, for “access to their market”, and individuals can't do much against a regime that would happily mow its own citizens down with tanks and then erase all memory of the event within a single generation. [0]

Maybe independent developers could put a notice against Chinese authoritarianism in their apps and services when they're accessed from a Chinese IP, to raise awareness among their public.

Some thoughts:

"Once we recognized that there had been a data security incident, Timehop's CEO and COO contacted the Board of Directors and company technical advisors; informed federal law enforcement officials; and retained the services of a cyber security incident response company, a cyber security threat intelligence company; and a crisis communications company." - Good response! Don't try and do everything yourself. Pay someone to handle the important response stuff that you're not an expert on.

"We have no evidence that any accounts were accessed without authorization." - Not so good: this just means they didn't see accounts being accessed. It may be more truthful to say "we have no way of knowing that someone did not access them."

So should there also be a <rightalign> and a <leftalign> and a <topalign> and <bottomalign> and <spaceequally> and and and...?

If you want to lower left align you set align-items and justify-content to flex-end and flex-start. For upper right, flip those. (if you’ve changed flex-direction those will need to shuffle around.)

I seriously don't understand why having a different tag for every possible alignment would be somehow easier or more discoverable than just using css rules. Novices are going to have to be looking stuff up either way- I get the concern about discoverability but I strongly doubt anyone is just typing tags to see what works.

Having worked in both git and SVN shops, SVN is adequate as a server-side VCS. Most of the time you don't need branches on the server side. However, using only SVN client-side is absolute misery - no interactive rebasing, local commits, local branches, stashing, or committing specific lines from a file. You absolutely have to use something like git-svn or hg-svn to be productive.

The other (and this is a major one) downside of adopting SVN for your org is the dearth of decent tools for code review and collaboration. At a previous company we used Fisheye/Crucible which is seriously not fit for purpose. At another SVN shop I worked at, we emailed patches to each other (seriously). And the lack of quality tooling is down to SVN's declining popularity - there's no market.

You're just as likely to see a keyboard instrument with 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, or 76 keys as you are 88 these days. Pitch and mod wheels are also a staple of certain kinds of keyboard instruments.

Aftertouch adds pressure sensors. The most advanced form of the keyboard interface at the moment would probably be the ROLI seaboard [1].

I do expect that the 88 key piano will be a staple of music for a long, long time, but I'm not sure I would call it's interface timeless seeing as it's still being modified and adapted to this day.

In Australia (with a standard rental agreement in NSW) you can change the locks (though I think you need to ask the landlord for permission if it's not an emergency) and you have to provide a copy of new keys to your landlord within 7 days. Landlords aren't allowed to enter your home unless its an emergency or they are planning on selling the home and have given you ample warning (and you've agreed). I believe this is just one of those things that is significantly different between different countries.

All of that being said, I don't understand why changing the locks makes a difference. It's very easy to ask a locksmith to open the door for you, especially if your name is on the title (not to mention that most house locks are trivial to pick anyway). Whether or not the landlord has a key is mostly immaterial, what matters is whether it is legal for them to use it (because picking the lock would arguably have similar legality).

Hi there. I was born in China and have been in here for more than two decades and I'm pretty sure that the reason CCP consider Christian as detrimental is absolutely nothing with Taiping Rebellion.

To understand this, you have to learn that what CCP did from 1950 to 1990 is aiming on sandificate the whole society. They successfully destroyed all tradition local communities under the name of "reform for communism", by killing landlords in rural and taking away fortunes of rich men in cities. Just like what happened to Jews in 1930s, German. People are atomic and not self organized. They only focus on their own interest and no concept of being a member of a local group.

However, Christians are encouraged to build local communities, and holding regularly meetings in Church or someone's home. This is level 0 alert for CCP.

I think a Google employee was tasked to remove the search engine choice and hardcode google search into Android.

He didn't want his name to be attached as the person who did this (and we can assume it was some sort of protest to the change) so he committed this as "Anonymous Coward".

Also "Anonymous Coward", as others pointed out, was the way Slashdot referenced guest comments.

> Why tenants don't change the locks on the main doors as they move in? Is it also because of the contracts?

In some countries it's not allowed to change it without permission from the landlord, and in others it is allowed but you need to immediately give them a copy of the key anyway.

But I believe that in most countries it is the case that the landlord cannot invade your privacy, even if they have a key (I know this is the case in Australia). So them having a key is mostly irrelevant (since lockpicking is a skill you can pick up in a weekend -- and picking the lock of a tenant's door is about as legal as using a key that the tenant was forced to give you).

The Linux kernel does not accept anonymous contributions due to legal reasons.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html

> It is imperative that all code contributed to the kernel be legitimately free software.

> For that reason, code from anonymous (or pseudonymous) contributors will not be accepted.

> All contributors are required to “sign off” on their code, stating that the code can be distributed with the kernel under the GPL.

> Code which has not been licensed as free software by its owner, or which risks creating copyright-related problems for the kernel (such as code which derives from reverse-engineering efforts lacking proper safeguards) cannot be contributed.

I have a huge pannier that fit a pair of large groceries bags. I fitted two large holes on the front side for a strap that goes around the saddle pin.

On Saturdays we strap it on our bike, ride to the farmers market and fill the bags up with grossiers for all week for a 3 persons household no problem. Probably some 30kg it can carry with ease. Back at home we take the panniers off so the bike fits in the typical Amsterdam bike shed and fits in the 2 stories bike-racks the train station for daily commutes.

So much more convenient than a Cargo bike that can not be properly stored in 90% of the Amsterdam bike sheds and therefor will need to stay outside all year and take precious sidewalk. At the farmers market it would be quite difficult to find a proper location to park it too. And at train stations even more difficult to find a place to park it.

Taking 30kg on our back in a backpack is not an option for us. Neither is walking through the narrow alleys of a farmers market with a huge backpack.

In the busy pedestrians & bike traffic of Saturday Amsterdam, mounting a canal bridge with an additional 30kg can be quite a feat but not more difficult than a with Cargo bike.

IMHO a large and dismountable pannier is a economic and more convenient alternative for a Cargo bike that can replace it for almost everything except transporting a couple of kids. It's time this means of groceries transport is revived.
The US doesn't have "low standards", it has broader access to liberal arts education than Europe. It ends universal secondary education at grade 12, so the grade 13 (at college) completes the "liberal arts" foundation. European countries simply do grades 12 and 13 in a separate school between secondary school and university, for students that weren't forced out after grade 11.

That's not my argument at all. My claim is that technology is still a huge advantage with batch auctions. It might even be a bigger advantage with batch auctions. More complex market structure usually benefits those who understand it best.

I also don't understand your argument about HFTs having an advantage over investors. Investors have advantages over HFTs too. Are those unfair? Why are you so concerned about the advantages that HFTs have over investors, but not advantages that investors have over HFTs?

I also hope you understand how small the HFT industry is. There are single very large investors who make more than the entire HFT industry.

Awesome work.

This made me think. My 7y boy has ASD/ADHD. When he talks, which is often, he talks constantly and all the time. It can feel like an onslaught; is very tiring over time.

We've always been reading to him, and he enjoys words - and learning new vocabulary. I'm quite particular about grammar also, and he's always open to being learning this, being corrected, and he'll even correct his own after a few times. It's amazing to hear him "work" Google Home, modulating his questions until he gets what he wants.

So he's obviously got a very sharp brain, but from a parent's point of view it can take a lot of effort to stay engaged at that "11th hour" point - specially when tired and dealing with non-compliance.

Would appreciate if anyone has pointers here, if this resonates. We need to teach him that communication isn't just Transmit, but Transmit/ Receive (Tx/Rx).

Work life balance depends on the firm. If you're talking say Virtu or Citadel (two of the best equities players), you have no life, but you're payed a king's ransom. I was single and hungry to be the best technologist possible and it was great before I got married. I worked for Madison Tyler (Virtu's original trading company which finally merged with it for almost 5 years). Others are more amenable to a sensible work/life balance, but it really just depends. DRW and Jump Trading are generally known to have pretty solid work/life balances, but again it just depends on the team and what you do.

The way to break into finance, besides some luck or a recruiter, is being exceptional at what you do. If you write C++, be the best C++ developer you can be. If you tune Linux servers, you better know every sysctl knob literally in and out AND where in the kernel those are actually applied. If the knob doesn't work, perhaps you'll need to write your own (kernel patch) to toggle a specific tcp/ip tunable. I breathe Linux in my sleep because I've always found it fascinating and got lucky when a random recruiter found me while I was working on the Core Systems backend Linux team at Ticketmaster. Then it is simply a matter of putting your resume out and/or finding a recruiter who works with those firms. Some of them are more niche. Jane Street Trading, as an example, requires every employee to write Erlang. Being good at erlang isn't super common so that might be an "in". Two Sigma does a lot of open source work (they have a github and have contributed a lot of stuff to both the Mesos and Kubernetes communities). Honestly man, just do some research, find something you want to learn, and strive to be the best.
I've a few years of experience tutoring programming. From what often see and from reading your description, it sounds like your problem is "need better planning before jumping to writing a code".

Programming is akin to building a house. Once the blueprint is figured out, the actual act of building (putting bricks together, etc) is actually pretty straightforward. The key though, is good the planning.

By good planning, in your example of returning the median, you should solve the problem before touching your computer. Use either pencil-and-paper or whiteboard method as much as possible. For example, I'd plan it as follow:
1. Solve it in a high-level manner, as if you're trying to teach someone who never codes a program before
2. Write down all the function definitions you need (don't code the body, just know what each does)
3. Write down how all the functions are to interact (again, don't write the body of any of the functions yet, just assume you have them)
4. Write down pseudocode for each of the functions
5. Code

I've seen lots of beginner programmers tried to skip over to 5 without concrete plan only ended up confusing himself over trivial problem. No matter how tempting it is, jumping straight to 5 without concrete plan is only going to confuse you.

I forgot whether it was Leslie Lamport or Edsger Dijkstra, but one of them said that a good programmer should have the skill to fully plan out a computer program without coding it.
