Companies used to have one hotel room per trip limitations, too, and if the woman didn't want to stay with a man she could always pay for her own room.
From what I've seen, the truth is more like, "Following a passion of yours for a living is likely to take some amount of fun out of it, but the hit's usually pretty small; just realize that doing something as a profession tends to have some fundamental differences from doing it purely for fun / fulfillment."

Or perhaps the size of the hit varies - for some people / passions it's small or zero, for others it's big, with the peak of the curve being "some but not too much"?
> I actually appreciate JSON omitting these features.

I guess this is right if config files are only machine read and written. When I am prototyping, config auto-gen tends to come pretty late in the project (for me), and I like being able to comment things.

I also like types and time-date parameters (which JSON doesn't provide unambiguously), so by the time I've done, I've reinvented YAML+, and that's a mess, so I actually appreciate TOML quite a bit... (At the very least - I get to be a retard[0] about config later in the process)

That's just a completely disingenuous comparison. It's pretty normal for companies to pay for work-related food, just as it's pretty normal for you to pay for food you eat on your own time.

It's pretty not-normal for companies to pay for escorts, just like it's pretty not-normal for you to pay for escorts on your own time. Some people pay for escorts, but it's pretty well outside social norms, and I can't imagine a business situation requiring an escort anyway.
That's fine then. Make the joke for Tom. Ignore the inevitable downvotes. Nobody else has to understand or like it.
Considering the magnitude of PR this has and will generate, any PR affects, whether positive or negative, will drastically dwarf any cost savings. If they are doing this out of purely self-interest, PR would be the primary concern, not cost.

I had this same problem. Too many interests, not enough time in the day!

So I pruned. I actually made a list, and prioritized. There were a few things on there that, after years of diddling around, I'm just no good at. There were a few things that were just too expensive or time consuming.

Now I limit myself to 2-3 things, and I actually make progress on those. It's kind of freeing to admit that you enjoy something, but that it's just not a priority.
I strongly disagree. Properly using and managing landfills worldwide is one of several necessary first steps towards a better ocean.

We are multiple large breakthroughs away from recycling technology becoming a viable path towards meaningful reduction of ocean-bound waste. Meanwhile, poor coastal nations continue to use the ocean as a landfill.

Assuming you’re able to dodge corruption in local officials, a dollar towards waste management development in Africa will go much further (in reduced kg/year of trash going into the ocean) than a dollar towards recycling technology R&D.

You're talking binary size, the zip file being referred to is the entire git repo in zip format. How large the Rust code would be is an interesting question.

Interestingly, the repo notes the binary is only 6kb. I doubt C or C++ will get anywhere close to that.
You can run apps from SD on Android provided the vendor hasn't neutered it. It was a custom Moto feature for KitKat but was upstreamed for Lollipop and up.
I can't see nations going forward making the investment in nuclear weapons unless they've already been making big investments. Look at NK, they've made investments in nuclear weapons as well as cyberwarfare. I'm sure the investment in cyberwarfare has been much, much smaller and they already hacked into Sony, reduced them to doing paper payroll for awhile, and released a bunch of compromising information. Sadly, the response from the US wasn't very serious. Unlike nuclear, the response has to be asymmetric because they don't have much of a network infrastructure to attack.

I just don't see what to invest in for a Space Force. Anyone looking to attack something like GPS would either use something like ground base lasers, software/network hacks, or traditional projectiles. Anything developed by the US would either be obsolete by the time its needed or get sold to adversaries and used right back at us.
> it [is] still difficult for me to understand how they can allow facebook, instagram and whatsapp to be one corporation.

With respect to Instagram, it's really not hard to understand - back in 2012 (when Facebook made the acquisition) Instagram had just 50 million users and made no money. It would have been ridiculous for anti-trust authorities anywhere in the world to step in. Remember too that the general consensus among a great many back then was that 1 billion dollars for Instagram was an absurd purchase price for what was perceived as a relatively tiny little start up with a very uncertain future.

While everyone likes to bash Facebook, the growth they have achieved with Instagram since acquiring it is pretty impressive, 50 million to a billion users in 6 or so years, and it's not like there wasn't significant competition along the way from Snapchat etc.
This looks interesting. I'm actually rather surprised at the lack of quality in most open source 'office' alternatives. I'm not sure why, but open/libreoffice is almost unusable for heavy duty office work. Microsoft products are the clear winners if you require productivity and stability. I really hope that changes soon, because I feel it's a major factor that holds back widespread Linux adoption.

This is probably an extreme example to use Bharat 2(which most considers a failed project) and using light apps on top of that. Choosing a budget phone does not mean choosing the cheapest one. Honestly i don't know anyone who uses the phone they mentioned, more phones from Honor or Xiaomi or Moto etc are more common. Its hard for me to have exact data on this, so this is just based on my experience.

How about a chapter on interesting fictional legal systems? My favorite example is Goachin law where the greatest crime is ignorance of the repercussions of your actions. If you’re found innocent you’re judged unworthy of the responsibilities of sentientience and killed.
To be found guilty you must prove that truly and deeply understand the ramifications of your actions. The guilty go free. The innocent die.
This was the first thing I noticed as well. It was always somewhat alienating when encountering newer formats that were less friendly than what came before. I think TOML does a good job of taking what came before and bringing it forward.

Over the many years of the usage of INI I think occasionally we've seen developers add their own touches to how they support types, sections, groups, multi-dimensional arrays or other structures within config files that certainly indicated a need for some more standardized advancement here.

I really hope this gains a lot of traction, because there are so many scenarios where things like XML or JSON are forced into roles they really don't belong in.

One thing that I would say is that it might be worth indicating a standard header that can be used at the very least in cases when it is not stored in a file with a .toml extension. It would not surprise me at all to see TOML widely used with extensions that describe better the intent of the file rather than the format.

> The context is someone hearing comments that were "shocking"

Shocking because they were dehumanising or shocking because they were unexpected?

> and that were so shocking they could only be delivered behind closed doors.

My take is that it simply meant out of earshot of patients - and that's basic professionalism - not a sign of dehumanising patients.

They clearly weren't trying to hide their conversations from new staff.

> It's interesting that making a complaint is seen as a negative thing to do: if there's no basis for the complaint no action is taken.

I'd be extremely surprised if that's the case.

Even in the tech world complaints are treated seriously enough that people's lives are negatively impacted regardless of whether there is any basis.

> Have a read of the reports I mentioned to see where this toxic culture leads.

I've read your excerpts and can see no relation to the situation we are discussing.

Once again how does venting or making jokes about patients lead to a lower standard of care?

> The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

And the parent poster made absolutely no comment about poor standards of care. In fact the implication was clearly that there was a high standard.

This is why they are making the announcement now. I would suspect that only a few trusted people would have been involved in making the decision on which tokens to explore. They then made this announcement that they are exploring it at the same time as it was announced internally.

Well, except when I'm indoors, I wouldn't mind that. The few times I've had to call 911 by the side of the road to report accidents[1], the phones I had just couldn't produce sound loudly enough to be heard over passing traffic. I know there was an initiative to protect people's hearing a few years ago by limiting volume - but sometimes you really need it.

I wonder if this could be used to infer information that users may not intend. For example, perhaps copying a file and fraudulently altering something in it at a specific time could be used as evidence in a trial.
As of Marshmallow, you can format the SD card as internal storage. I did that on my dad's phone just this week and it doesn't seem to have the limitation you described.

In my experience creating cards (or writing down the words into a notebook) is an essential part of the process. I'm not sure about the exact mechanics of it, but for me writing a word implants it in my memory much deeper than just reading it.
> Then add an index.

Then you're adding work to your writes, and your database will block your live write transactions until the corresponding index updates are done.

> Its not exactly difficult in a database. Using a database without indexes is kind of stupid. Why would you do that?

You wouldn't intend to, but you might do it by accident. The failure modes can be pretty bad, since an SQL database will take whatever nonsense query you give it and try to run it, even if doing so impacts your live operations. Whereas in many NoSQL systems if you try to use an index that doesn't exist it'll fail fast.
Hacker News is basically slowly but surely converting me more into a technical person. When I came here first, I mostly looked at the psychological articles and some web articles. But when I felt a bit more focused and bold I'd go for more technical articles. I have been doing this ever since and I have noticed there are two types of technical articles I really like:

1. any computer graphics reverse engineer article, or reverse engineering regarding a game console, or the posts about Dolphin the gamecube emulator.

2. any security article. Especially about exploits or vulnerabilities.

I was surprised at how well I understood them. But I think in part it has to do with that I sometimes venture out and expand my comfort zone. I keep on expanding my comfort zone through Hacker News, it really supplemented my computer science education quite well.

I also use it a lot as a search engine to find high quality educational content. All those upvotes matter. And if the upvotes don't matter -- the educational resource is quite bad -- then there's always some insightful comment about a good resource. I learned a thing or two about deep learning this way and how it relates to topology. I've never read anything about topology before! That's just really cool that some resources can give you a basic intuition about it.
No problem! They only recently started distributing to the US. I know you're a Chicago guy (same here). You can grab both at Binny's. They have both at Longman & Eagle to try if you're not interested in bottles. Not sure if Lady Gregory's carries, thinking of other bars that would have a good selection of Irishes.
- Golang.

- “X is dead/dying” just because I want to see if there’s any sort of logic to it and to see the comments (which can actually be pretty useful)

- Psychology-related things (especially about depression, PTSD, burnout)

- Tutorials that I may find useful

- Security/exploits (like the latest ESLint issue)

- Apple-related articles (because I use Apple products but know they aren’t perfect and want to see both sides)
I look for keywords regarding the tools I use and that describe myself. For me, it's C, C++, random Javascript libraries, databases, certain computer hardware, companies I use, and certain startup business terms. It can be a keyword soup that doesn't make sense and I'll still click on it.

I also click on words that appear to be made up, because I've been trained that I'll usually get to read about a cool new library, programming language, or programming tool.

In your example, "quantum" is too vague. Even though I've worked for years in quantum-whatever areas, I feel that the word "quantum" doesn't describe myself due to being too general, so it doesn't trigger my attention.

So basically, I just scan the front page for words that are attractive to me, never fully reading headlines until I've already decided I'll click on it.
Meat vs. non-meat is not the right lens through which to judge the environmental impact of your diet. Cost per calorie is.

For instance, whole chickens provide about about 1200 calories/dollar, whereas leafy green vegetables all provide under 100 calories/dollar. That means there is a 12x difference in the amount of resources required per calorie provided. You can go on about the externalities of meat all you want, but a 12x difference almost certainly makes up for them.

So if you switch from eating lots of meat to eating lots of leafy green vegetables and berries, you probably aren't making much of a difference. The better heuristic to follow is to just pay attention to how much your food costs. Less money spent on food = lower environmental impact.

If you're interested, I go pretty deep down this rabbit hole here: http://www.thinkfundamental.org/why-kale-is-actually-terribl...

True.

Plus medication was one of the treatments under "therapy" in this study - and there's serious doubt whether medication(in general) is helping or harming.
> On what moral grounds does Socialism justify confiscating property and sacrificing lives? We can certainly disagree about what is or is not Capitalism but this is what Socialism does and you know it.

In a federal grand jury investigation, a “subject” is very close to what is understood in the common vernacular as a “suspect” (but not a “prime suspect”) in a criminal investigation; someone whose conduct is being examined because of the distance of illegal activity, but against whom prosecutors do not have enough evidence of guilt that charges (or, socially, an attempt to indict) is imminent.
It's pretty normal when traveling on business or especially going out as a team or a meal with clients. I've yet to have a job as a software engineer that hasn't, although there's usually an implicit or explicit cap.
Give me some examples of science where we make decisions and keep the raw data a secret. I can’t think of any except ones involving national security.

Yes, the best way to prove reproducibility is to reproduce it, but that can’t always be done and at any rate is no excuse for keeping raw data a secret.
What if you don't consider it as compensation, but as an expense.

ie. Working for X company will net me $150k in wages, however I will have to pay for my own meat meals, insurance, etc. I probably won't work here. Even though the company pays for only economy class flights and requires me to take one every 3 months.
did you find the meditation more helpful?
Again, not saying that I fully agree, I'm just trying to explain the perspective.
The book details a bunch of interesting things that aren't really apparent until you've taken the time to think them through, for example:

- There are very few inherent differences between buses and rail—most of what we think of as inherent differences are incidental (such as grade separation and offboard payment).

- Running a bus faster is cheaper than running it slowly.

- Introducing a transfer into someone's trip, all else equal, can make the trip faster.
Sure, there are strong environmental and ethical reasons against eating meat.

But do we really want to applaud companies dictating what their employees do in their down time?

Keep in mind this policy covers travel expenses, so if you have to travel for work, you must eat the vegetarian option while traveling or you will pay out of pocket. Even if the only vegetarian option is fries, which is not uncommon.
So it sounds like you’re saying the new policy is reasonable but may be abused?

If so I don’t disagree.

I disagree with this article stating that raw data needs to be kept secret. It’s pure bullshit and anti-science.
The assertion being made, that you seemed to be endorsing, was that downvoting used to be only for incivil or troll comments, but that has changed recently under the newer moderation team.

As pg’s 2008 quote shows, that assertion is wrong.

Weapons can be an endless pit of development and the US is not a conquering nation. Let's say we could sustain an economy and develop the first nuclear weapons while everyone else is using spears; what was the opportunity cost? What's the value if it's only used for defense?

Outside of defense I know a large military and weapons help in having influence, but so does having a stable and large economy--the later moreso.

Nuclear weapons were developed out of a competition for survival. The people involved knew even in the hands of the Allied forces it was extremely dangerous. You're arguing we should invest in a Space Force because someone else might do it in the future.
Thanks for the reply! May I ask how far you go with respect to reliability/availability? Do you have a live replicated server on stand by or just replicate a log stream elsewhere, something else?
What? No. This ignores subsidies, markup, shelf space, and that you probably shouldn't be going for the cheapest calorie per dollar anyway. Following your argument, we should all just eat pure sugar and butter.

I read your site, and it's all just FUD. You mention in passing how you'd need to grow agriculture to feed animals anyway, and then completely ignore that fact through the rest of your writing. You don't cite any actual environmental numbers, pull some out of your ass, and then hand wave your way through your position.

> Meat vs. non-meat is not the right lens through which to judge the environmental impact of your diet. Cost per calorie is.

Only if you pretend that the entire supply chain is an idealized free market without externalities, which is wrong in basically every possible way when it comes to food, everywhere in the world.
More useless clickbait nonsense. All advice is awful and useless in one form or another because life is complicated.

"Find your passion". One person could take that advice and becomes einstein. Another takes that and become a failure.

"Stay in your lane". One person takes that advice and is content. Another one takes that advice and becomes a bitter old man who wonders about "what if".

How about life is a crap shoot and we leave it at that? Every advice article/book/etc is just lazy greedy people trying to make money off of you.

Reading carnegie's "how to make friends...", graham's "intelligent investor" or kiyosaki/robbins/etc isn't going to make you successful, happy or content. It's just going to make the writers or their estate money.

It's funny how many new self-help and advice nonsense is out there? If any of it actually worked, there wouldn't be a market for new self-help and advice nonsense year after year.
