> managers and executives [...] should be placed in an open plan environment for at least 12 months before /any/ employees are moved into it.

Making them "take their own medicine" is unlikely to be effective in this case, because the nature of manager/exec work is perfectly suited to the open layout. That's probably a large part of its popularity -- the people who decide for it fundamentally don't understand its problems. Even if they intellectually grasp that writing code requires concentration, they don't likely understand how fragile concentration can be.

Much of their job consists exactly of moving around, having conversations with various people. They have less use for stretches of uninterrupted concentration.

Cf. the excellent "Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule" essay http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html It's about the organization of time, but the basic insight applies to space/noise as well.

Set your outgoing message to state that you never check them and that people should @ you on Slack instead.

That's not emails fault, that's your fault for not using the tool properly. All clients have filtering and blocking options. If you don't want the mails, tell the sender to stop sending them.

After my initial outrage, I calmed down and looked at this dryly. What if the main issue is that the prosecutors just do not have appropriate mental models of hackers?

The crucial step is that they wanted to get ahold of Riseup, a mail provider (and hence, in their view, a commercial entity). Then they find those German people (whom they can get ahold of) who collect money for Riseup. I find it very likely that they just could not imagine someone collecting money for a commercial entity without being financially and personally intertwined with said entity.

For example, if you see someone collecting money for Coca-Cola, wouldn't you think that they're paid by Coca-Cola, no matter how much they insisted they're "just fans"?

(Note: This argument only concerns the original warrant. What the policemen did at the hackerspachackerspace was just preposterous.)

As a counter example look at privatisation of the UK rail system.

Granted, that not every experience is abyssimal, but in my experience most train riding experiences in the UK are pretty terrible.

Filthy trains with partially massive undercapacity at sky high prices. Delays, cancelled trains and you - the passenger - is just left out to dry.

Infrastructure is also problematic, like an underabundance of ticket machines, let alone ticket selling staff at stations, etc.

It's also interesting to note that Japan rail companies can keep prices reasonable by making major parts of their income via real estate.

Well, its hard to give positive reinforcement right at the instant where bad behavior is happening. I think what he meant was something like

* You were behaving really well ("like a grown up", which some kids love) when you were using your knife to cut the food only before

I see how this might take some practice to do on a regular basis. I think it should be easier if the positive/negative feedback is verbal only (that's good/that's bad and not much more), which relates to your point about no-cost reinforcement
Flutter Release Preview 1 Supports ML Kit and More

I definitely agree with the fact that it feels like a web app, but this is the design the customer asked for. Most of this things are actually not a React Native problem but the way the app was made. Onto your points:

1. This can easily be fixed with a module, however time pressure didn't allow for additional "tweaks"

2. Same as 1.

3. Using Scrollview for this, since some android devices with smaller screens can make the Login screen look very ugly and small, so in that case scroll looked better.

4. Do they look like or feel like ones on a website? It is by design, but interested to see how you feel about the fields as a user (although we don't support the app anymore)

5. Caused by implementation logic
That's correct, but it happens extremely rarely (the well-publicized! incident with netzpolitik.org and the Mollath case are the only ones that comes immediately to mind) and leads to massive criticism in the press.

Look, cross platform is already a lost cause as OS manufacturers will always departs from competitor design flavors, so that it will be costlier to adapt to other platforms, so each OS manufacturers can have loyal developers who won't write code that work on competitor's platforms. This has been happening for ever.

Secondly, how many time is it necessary to whine that javascript is a bad technology, and that anything that stems from it is destined to less than optimal ends?

JS is great but only for deployment, and it has been its best strength, but JS cannot thrive on mobile, because mobile platform don't offer programming flexibility. Less memory, tighter chips, less battery. Converting from one language to another, and adapting design so it can fit is hacky.

Why does everybody is always jumping in on brand new shining ships?
This is not new. Sports betting has been legal in most parts of the World for some time. Football data in Europe is so expensive, very good businesses like Opta can make a very nice living from it. Go get a quote for them for Premier League games alone: thousands a year for only some of the data.

For years, people getting into sports analytics have done so via baseball (and the Sabremetrics community), and the NBA because the data has not been seen of commercial utility. It's been collected by fans.

That will change dramatically, but it should be resisted. Leagues and players should embrace open data because it will in the long-term lead to analysis that helps them, but more importantly, fosters a deeper interest in their game and therefore makes their own careers more valuable.
People are saying sim lock when the mean sim pin. A sim lock, more usually, locks a phone to a particular network's sim cards, stopping the consumer changing networks.
It actually does, and with surprising frequency. Professional models in the high-fashion world often endure considerable amounts of work-related stress, and the decision to do a particular job is often less of an "I like doing this" and more of an "I have to do this to stay relevant / make ends meet / satisfy contract obligations / etc.". Even a seemingly-normal photoshoot can end up being excessively taxing both physically and mentally; the viewer only sees the end result, not the hours of standing around holding poses while the photographers try to get the photo oh so perfect or the hours of wardrobe and makeup prep or the overwhelming pressure to not eat (or - worse - to purge after meals) in order to remain palatable to the mass market and its unrealistic-bordering-on-downright-impossible body image expectations.

My original comment was a lame joke, sure, but it's one with a disturbing amount of truth behind it. Not all models like being models. I'd wager that hating the job might even be the norm. It has a high potential to be excessively stressful and even outright degrading, not to mention that it's a hotbed for shady business practices, outright fraud, and abuse (psychological, physical, and sexual alike). It's a career path notorious for its workers having little to no bargaining power.

I suspect that the folks voting my comment down don't actually know how shitty of a job modeling can be. I don't blame them for not knowing; on the surface, being a model seems fun and glamorous, right? Never mind that - like how office work is (usually) more than sitting around playing Solitaire all day - professional modeling is (usually) more than just hanging out all day and getting the occasional photo taken real quick (there is no "real quick" to these sorts of photo shoots).

Just my two cents.
Nearly all users want a commercial, centralized Internet.

They want specific, centralized corporations or entities (eg government) that they can get upset with when something goes wrong, whether that's PayPal, or Amazon, Twitter, or Comcast. They love that aspect, it provides a blanket (which tech people will call an illusory blanet).

The decentralization premise is a standard techie failure to understand product, markets and average consumers. It's solely an allure for tech people. That's why for it has been thrown about as a lure for so long with so little success to show for it, there's a reason for that: it's a fantasy for an extraordinarily small niche of people. A decentralized Internet is the absolute last thing on a list of wants from the bulk of users that make up the Internet, they have no idea what it is, no idea why it matters, and couldn't care less. It will not be possible to get them to care about it, because their Internet works for them right now.

The average user is not upset about the Internet and how it operates now. In fact quite the opposite, they're overwhelmingly satisfied with the Internet. You can see an ideal representation of the techie failure to understand the average user, in the dire predictions thrown at Facebook the last number of months, and the actual end results of what the average user did (they didn't quit Facebook, the techies were entirely wrong and didn't understand average users). Decentralized Internet is an emotional issue for most techies, just as Facebook is, that's where the fog comes in, and obvious reasoning mistakes are made.
Unlikely unless another host on your LAN is saturating all 1000Mbit. My first guess would be poor wifi then funky shaping on the ISP side. Try it wired and if that doesn't help try it over a VPN.

Not to nitpick. But JR is not really one company, even though you get the impression that it is, due to the homogenity of, for example signage, partially quite comparable rolling stock and a shared (extremely efficient) reservation system.

From Wikipedia: [1]

The Japan Railways Group, more commonly known as JR Group (JRグループ Jeiāru Gurūpu), consists of seven for-profit companies that took over most of the assets and operations of the government-owned Japanese National Railways on April 1, 1987. Most of the liability of the JNR was assumed by the JNR Settlement Corporation.

Companies have their myths and legends too.

The truth is most likely that that boring company has always been a boring company, with not much happening. Still, sometimes, people fuck at work, drink a little too much at parties, and drugs exist. These things happen occasionally and sometimes, these events surface, get mixed up, amplified, and you get stories of orgies.

“These courtsiders and scrapers operate in the shadows, compromise the legal market, fuel the illegal market and have no vested interest in the integrity of sports.”

It is amusing to see integrity and sports betting in the same sentence. You created a game where people are incentivized to make bets on the next action. What do you expect? Of course people will want to gain an edge anyway possible.

I used EDK II framework. About the keyboard input, Program reads the value from 0x60 port directly because of multi-key input processing. I measure the timer count twice(for 1sec) by using the rdtsc instruction to make game delay more accurate. I didn't implement the audio output.﻿

There's no actual user value involved. "Avoids USD" is almost a religious statement. If one is concerned about volatility, then Bitcoin is a bad choice; it's more volatile than any major currency and most commodities. If one is concerned about the US government's future behavior, there are other major currencies. (And really, a currency is a bad place to park your wealth.) For any legitimate financial aim, there's a better solution than Bitcoin.

Yes I completely agree. I was considering lobbying as an option earlier today. Adding to your thoughts, very early stage and bootstrapped startups need to get their voice out. These are the future power houses unlocking unrealised potential in the economy. Google et al and even VC backed startups operate in a totally different reality.
>Oh, you are the one with the flagged comment in this thread.

Which perfectly illustrates my point. I haven't said anything offensive. People are treating extremism differently depending on which side they're on and that's stupid. HN is very far left, so this opinion is unpopular.
Most consumer DRAM is non-deterministic. A small fraction of users use tools to provide high/stronger deterministic guarantees but issues like bit flips and variable access latency still apply to DRAM although these issues are far smaller in timescale and scope.

None the less I'm assuming this set of optimizations is targeted not only at nvme storage but also 3D XPoint. Intel and Micron have done a lot of work in this space and promise to provide non-volatile, low latency, and high density in a single package. Micron has seemingly abandoned QuantX (their 3D XPoint) but Intel has recently made some huge strides in this area which, if adopted, will definitely push them to compete in this space.

Soon Intel Optane will be available in a DDR4-like package. It will still be closer to disk-like than RAM like and that is why I think this effort to push for large page swapping will be interesting. It being non-volatile also provides some cool possibilities for the future if this tech becomes more mainstream. Imagine being able to provision a portion of your swap that always contains the state of certain programs you care about or certain always-used libraries. Maybe even caching the entire OS in DRAM-like storage so that all boots read directly from your non-volatile swap.

Also, as a very important aside, this is from the patches mentioned in this article.

Random oracles are a model for reasoning about hash functions, so generally speaking they have the same “API” as whatever type of hash function you’d use in the real world. Most commonly that means they take in an arbitrary-length input and output a fixed-size digest. So yes, by the pigeonhole principle they will have collisions.

One major difference is that “the oracle implements a random function” implicitly guarantees several security properties that otherwise you’d have to assume as complexity assumptions. For example, a random function has collision resistance due to the simple fact that outputs are distributed randomly and therefore finding a collision should take (on average!) many queries to the oracle. With standard hash functions, you have to assume collision resistance.
Advanced iOS Architecture: Solving the 5 Issues of MVC, MVVM and VIPER
I look at this setup and say to myself that this is just the wrong way to do it. A 'floating' vm to NAT and route? Ceph does look very nice but I have no need for anything but file based storage.

Here is my top down take on a more traditional (cheaper) approach.
* 2 1G 5 port edge switches
* IDS
* vrrpd balanced cots NAT routers -w- RIPng + nginx as generic and web proxy.
* LAN 1G 12 port switches (1 hot, 1 cold)
* 2 synology NAS (redundant, manual failover).
* etc...
No, that’s not how it works. That’s a 1 dimensional view.

We will have more wild variations of weather, so some places will get much, much more humid and others will get much much drier. And maybe the same place will get wetter and drier in the same season. It will be disastrous, but in a wilder and more unpredictable way.

There are just so few instances where synchronous group communication (like Slack) makes sense in a workplace. If you need to talk to a large group of people about a project, it'll be more efficient to (gasp) have a meeting. Recording/itemizing data in a slack channel is horrible and basically unsearchable after a few days.

The nature of slack forces people to always "watch" for pings and channel updates, lest they get labeled a slacker for not responding. It's a 24-hour long meeting with no agenda, no guidelines, no leadership, and the occasional guy who jumps into the room with a bad joke.

Total mess.

Is it a high-value feature to the end users? Then absolutely, you're correct.

Anyway, in my experience, most good PM and designers want an understanding as towards the amount of effort their features and designs mean for engineers. So if you aren't providing them that feedback, and letting them to factor that into their process, you're doing them a disservice.
